GAS EXPLOSION.--Yesterday afternoon, between
5 and 6 o'clock, a fearful explosion of gas occurred
at the house of Mr. Hemstead, grocer, Coltman-street,
Greenwich. At the time stated the gas in the shop was
about to be lighted, and on a candle being taken in for that
purpose an explosion immediately took place. The win-
dows and doors were blown into the street, the bare walls
alone being left standing, and Mr. Hemstead's wife and
three children were partially buried under the rubbish.
Medical aid was immediately obtained, and although Mrs.
Hemstead and her husband and children, together with a
man who was passing at the time, are seriously injured, no
fatal result was anticipated. The cause of the explosion
is supposed to have been a leakage. from one of the gas
mains, occasioned by the metropo itanmain drainage sewer
works.

THE NAVY.—The account of the naval receipts
and expenditure for the year ending 31st March
last has been presented to Parliament. It shows that the
amount granted during the year on account of the navy
was £10,736,032. To this has been added £206,496, the
balance of the advances from the vote of credit for the
China war. The expenditure amounted to £10,746,177,
leaving a balance of £196,350 unspent.
