Two accidents occurred, in the course of the day,
one to a marker from a leaden splash, which is
comparatively trivial ; the other, more serious,
happened to a member, Cousins by name, of
one of the Lincolnshire corps. Believing that he
was merely snapping off a cap, he pointed his rifle
downward in the direction of his foot and pulled the
trigger. The rifle, however, proved to be loaded,
and the foot was so severely injured by the discharge
as to necessitate the immediate amputation of the
great toe. This operation was performed by Sur-
geon-Major Wyatt, and at a late hour last night
the unfortunate sufferer was as well as could be ex-
pected.

THE ATTWOODS' BANK FAILURE.—PAYMENT OF
THE DIVIDEND.—The payment of the dividend to
the creditors of the late banking firm at Attwoods, Spooner,
and Co., by the Birmingham Joint-stock Banking Company,
commenced yesterday. Creditors on deposit A and B were
required to attend; and from half-past 9in the morning
until midnight last night the whole of the staff of the bank
were busily employed in paying the dividends and opening
new accounts with depositors. In the middle of the day
the crush was so great that the services of two police
constables had to be called in, to direct the incoming and
outflowing lines of depositors. Owing to the immense num-
bers that attended, the authorities announced in the early
party. of the day their intention to remain open until mid-
night. The majority of the depositors on receiving their
dividend expressed their great obligations to the bank for
the promptness with which payment had been made.—
