Accidents in Chatham Dockyard.

CHATHAM, May 18.
A very alarming and serious accident has oc-
curred in the iron-foundry in this yard. For three
weeks a mould has been in course of construction
for making the great brass casting for the stem of
the Loril Warden, 24—a task of no mean difficulty.
The casting was to be made in the iron-foundry, as
it was larger than could be accomplished in the
brass-foundry. Late yesterday afternoon a number
of the officers of the yard and several ladies assembled
in the foundry to witness the casting. Among the
officers were P. Thornton, Esq., master-shipwright;
R. Dawson, Esq., T. Baker, Esq., T. Clatworthy,
Esq., &c. The brass having been properly melted
and prepared it was received in two large crane-
ladles, worked by a dozen men over the mould.
Each ladle contained about four and a half tons of
metal. After the mould had received several tons of
the molten metal, it gave signs of bursting ; an alarm
was given, and those who were in danger attempted
to escape. A man named Crossling was not success-
ful, as the mould burst, and the molten metal flew
about ; he was struck by a quantity of it on the
back, which knocked him down, setting fire to his
clothes. He was immediately dragged away by Mr.
Rowland and Mr. Colley, who used every exertion
to extinguish his burning clothes, their own hands
being severely burnt in doing so. Crossling was
taken to the surgery and thence to Melville Hospital,
where he lies in a very dangerous state. The spec-
tators of the casting were in great danger ; but the
molten lead happily did not fly in the direction
where they were standing. Ilad the metal spurted
upwards the men over the mould, working the
crane, must have suffered. It does not appear that
any one is to blame for this disaster, as every pre-
caution had been taken. It is supposed that there
was a flaw in the sand of the mould.

Another accident occurred to-day in the dockyard,
but fortunately -without injuring any one. The
powerful hydraulic machine used for lifting balks of
timber from the water-pit near the steam saw-mills
broke down. It was lifting a piece of timber from
the pit, when it suddenly fell, breaking the machine.

No less than 1,970 carts laden with forced fruit
came into the Paris market during the first twelve days of
May, and 12,805 carts of vegetables, of which number 1,301
were laden with potatoes. Frogs seem to have come into
fashion again ; the best come from Alsace, whence huge
baskets of green froge arc sent by rail to Paris.

STEALING ,i THE SUN" NEWSPAPER,

We published yesterday, under the head of Bow-
street
Police-court, the report of a charge preferred
against Henry Thompson, an auxiliary sorter in the 1
General Post-Office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, of
stealing a copy of the late edition of The Sun news-
paper in its transit through that establishment.
The prisoner was engaged sorting the papers for
despatch by the mail when he was observed to put
one into his pocket, from which it was eventually
taken, together with a gold watch and chain and
£5O in notes and gold, a betting book and various
cards relating to betting transactions. The complaints
that have reached us from all parts of the kingdom,
especially on the eve of an important race, respect-
ing the non-delivery of the paper have been very
numerous, and the greatest precaution has conse-
quently been taken on our part to i nsure its safe
delivery at the post-office. There, of course, our su-
pervision ceased. We have long regretted the dis-
appointment our subscribers in the country have
been subjected to by its non-delivery, knowing the
dependence placed on the regularreceipt of the paper.
The discovery of one of the pilferers will doubtless
do more to prevent a repetition of the offence than
all the offers of reward we have made to effect that
object. The Post-office authorities, we have been
informed, have, and we think wisely, directed that
all persons known to be mixed up in betting trans-
actions should be otherwise employed than in sorting
newspapers, and such arrangements have been made
as evince the greatest desire to protect newspapers
as well as letters. The prisoner stated that he took
the paper to read the American news, but the proper
value will be put on that statement by the jury,
who will doubtless require a little explanation re-
specting the possession of the large amount of
money and the betting book found in possession of
a person holding his position in the Post-office.

THE HOLIDAYS.

The holidays have been taken this year somewhat before
the regular time, and in consequence the court is one con-
tinual scene of confusion, though it is somewhat amusing
to witness the professional men engaged in cases, and the
reporters anxious to do duty for their respective papers,
dodging backwards and forwards from the commissioner's
private room to the court, in grave doubt as to when the
cases will be eventually taken, if, indeed, they will be
taken at all.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ITALIAN BEGGAR BOYS.—Pasquale Pelozzi and Philippo
di Felice, two good-looking Italian boys, were charged be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging.
Police-constable Tyler, 164 C, proved seeing the boys
go up to carriages in Hanover-square and beg of the occu-
pants, and receive money, and afterwards hand it over to
a man who was waiting to receive the alms they gathered.
Inspector Harrison said the boys were a great nuisance,
and much complained of, the instrument the man who was
with them played being most inharmonious.

Through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, the boys said they
came from Naples about two months ago with their cousin
and brother, to whom they gave all the money they col-
lected—three or four shillings a-day—he playing a pipe.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said perhaps they would like to go back
again.

The boys, smiling, said they would rather not, and did
not know why they should.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand them for a week,
and hoped to be the means of sending them back. In th•
House of Detention they would be cleaned, both of them
being nice looking boys.
The boys were then remanded, that Dr. Pius Melia, the
almoner to the Italian Minister, may be communicated
with.

National Anthem, and then the Earl of Shaftesbury ad_
vanced to the front, and presented to the Prince an address,
who handed it to Gen.Knollys, on behalf of the Reformatory
and Refuge Union. The address entered at length into
the great benefits that had resulted to the industrious poor
by the founding of these institutions, and it expressed the
greatest pleasure that kindred establishments now existed
all over the world. It then went on to say, the boys and
girls, seen actually at work around -us in some thirty dif-
ferent handicrafts, are chiefly from institutions in our
busy towns, while there are many country schools
and asylums, occupied, in gardening or agriculture,
which cannot so well exhibit the fruits of their
labour now in the spring time of the year. The
committee of the union believe that your Royal
Highness, as patron of our society, which is the centre of
300 British institutions, will graciously welcome these
numerous representatives from abroad, who, responding to
our invitation, have brought here from almost-every part
of 'Europe, and from Africa and America, the evidences of
their interest in this peculiar field of Christian work.
The noble lord, on concluding the reading of the address,
handed it to the Prince, and,
His ROYAL HlGnlcEss replied as follows :
" Your Grace, your Excellency, my Lords, Ladies, and
Gentlemen,—l have gladly taken a part in the proceeding
of this day, and have complied with your request that I
should attend, as the patron of this society, with the
greatest satisfaction. The benevolent purpose of this
exhibition cannot fail to be followed by the desired suc-
cess, and claims the co-operation of every one who has the
interests of the industrious poor at heart, and who desire to
forward the object which the Reformatory and Refuge
Union has in view, viz., industrial with moral training.
"The committee do me justice in believing that I cor-
dially sympathise iu the welcome this society offers to
the representatives of foreign countries who have responded
to the invitations they have received by their presents and
contributions.

THAMES.

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—John Daly, aged
20, and Thomas Farrow, 39, seamen, belonging to a coaster
in the river, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged
with being drunk and disorderly in High-street, Shadwell,
and violently assaulting James Stockley, 164 K, and Jere-
miah Reardon, 469 K.

Last night Daly was drunk and noisy, and he was re-
quested by Stockley to go home or return to his ship. He
refused to do either, and, after abusing the constable, said,
" Stop till I draw my staff "—put his hand in his pocket.
Stockley rightly suspecting that he was about to draw a
knife seized his hand. The prisoner released it and made
a second attempt to draw a knife, which he called a staff,
and succeeded. The prisoner said "That is my staff " and
flourished it. At the same time the prisoner made a kick at
the lower part of his pe►son. He stepped back and avoided
tho kick. Reardon then came to the assistance of Stockley,
and Daly put his legs round him and tried to throw him.
A struggle ensued, and Daly made an effort to bite Reardon,
and said he would ruin him for life. The policemen secured
Daly, and Farrow then came up and said " You shall not
take him." Ho laid hold of Daly and tried to pull him away
Another severe struggle took place, and ultimately other
constables arrived, the disorderly people, thieves, and loose
women who abound in Shadwell were dispersed, and pre-
vented rescuing the prisoners, and they were secured.
Mr. Partridge said a serious outrage had been committed
by Daly, who had the audacity to draw a knife on the
police-constable who was doing his duty very properly.
But that was not all. The prisoner attempted to injure
the constable for life. There was no doubt Daly was a
very savage fellow, and he sentenced him to be imprisoned
two months' and kept to hard labour. He sentenced
Farrow to pay 405., or be imprisoned one month.
WILD SPORTS OF THE EAST.—Julia Connor, aged 27,
and Mary Pay, aged 30, were brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged, the first with assaulting Honorah Sweeney with
a knife, and the other with striking her with a poker.
A police-constable, named Charles Gilbey, 171 H, stated
that the injured woman, Sweeney, was in the London
Hospital, and could not be removed for some time.
It appeared that the prisoners and Sweeney dwell in an
Irish colony called London-terrace, Commercial-road East.
This terrace is a close and narrow alley, where rows and
bloodshed have been frequent. There was a disturbance
there a few days ago, and some persons were injured. An
officer of the court named Howland, 89 H, holds a sum-
mons against some of the parties. This gave rise to another
quarrel last night, and the prisoners attacked the woman
Sweeney, cut her with a knife and beat her with a poker.
They left her bleeding and insensible. The contest was
described by another, Honora Sweeney, of No. 7, Bowyer's-
buildings, St. George, as a frightful one. The prisoners
were furious and mad.

Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoners until Thursday
next.

AN IRISII OUTRAGE.—EarIy in the morning of
Thursday last, some diabolical ruffian went to the stable
of Mr, John Butler, of Mlnawn, adjoining Callan, a re-
spectable farmer, and deliberately cut one ear off every
beast therein, comprising five horses and a donkey. The
deed must have been committed early in the morning, as
it was not till between twelve and one o'clock that the
owner brought into the stable one of the horses, a most
valuable animal, Worth at least £loo.—Kilkenny Moderator'.

THE nOLIDAYS.

The holidays have been taken this year somewhat before
the regular time, and in consequence the court is one con-
tinual scene of confusion, though it is somewhat amusing
to witness the professional men engaged in cases, and the
reporters anxious to do duty for their respective papers,
dodging backwards and forwards from the commissioner's
private room to the court, in grave doubt as to when the
cases will be eventually taken, if, indeed, they will be
taken at all.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COLONIAL.

[TEA.—Business has been very dull, without any change
to report in values. Good shipping congou is quoted lld
to 12d per lb.

Suciu.—The market has remained rather quiet, al-
though full rates are current for West India. Refined
goods are scarce and command high prices.
COFFEE.— Superior descriptions of colonial have been
more inquired for at enhanced prices ; other qualities have
remained at about former rates.
RICE.—A fair amount of business has been done in soft
grain descriptions at full prices.
TALLOW.—The market has continued rather quiet, al-
though quotations for both present and forward delivery
are steadily maintained.

THE CASE OF JOHN AND CHARLES HANINGAN.
Lord LIFFORD called the attention of the house to the
case of these lately prisoners in Lifford Gaol, and moved
for a copy of their petition to the Lord-Lieutenant of
Ireland, dated the 28th November, 1864, and of
his Excellency's reply thereto. He said that it
was always a painful matter to call into question the ac-
tions of gentlemen entrusted with the commission of the
peace, and to whose services the country were much in-
debted. It appeared that the Hannigans had been applied
to for county cess, amounting only to 3s. 6d , and the money
not being immediately forthcoming, the collector seized
a horse on the farm of the parties, and it ap-
peared one of them struck him, without, however,
inflicting any'great injury, and they were both sentenced
to eight months' imprisonment. The county of Donegal
was free from disturbance, and he considered that the per-
sons in this case had been treated very harshly.
The Earl of GRANVILLE said there was considerable
difficulty experienced in the collection of the rate in ques-
tion in the county of Donegal, which would account for
what otherwise might be regarded as rather a second pro:
ceeding.
The subject then dropped,
The Oxford Vinerican Foundation, the Customs and
Inland Revenue, and the Public • Superannuation Bills
passed through committee.

ITALIAN BEGGAR BOYS.—Pasquale Pelag and Philippa
di Felice, two good-looking Italian boys, were charged be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging.
Police-constable Tyler, 164 C, proved seeing the boys
go up to carriages in Hanover-square and beg of the occu-
pants, and receive money, and afterwards hand it over to
a man who was waiting to receive the alms they gathered.
Inspector Harrison said the boys were a great nuisance,
and much complained of, the instrument the man who was
with them played being most inharmonious.
Through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, the boys said they
came from Naples about two months ago with their cousin
and brother, to whom they gave all the money they col-
lected—three or four shillings a-day—he playing a pipe.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said perhaps they would like to go back
again.

The boys, smiling, said they would rather not, and did
not know why they should.
l►tr. Pyrwhitt said he should remand them for a week,
and hoped to be the means of sending them back. In the
House of Detention they would be cleaned, both of them
being nice looking boys.
The boys were then remanded, that Dr. Pius Melia, the
almoner to the Italian Minister, may be communicated
with. _

The Fatal Accident to Captain Newbery,

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester held an in-
quiry at the Bank of England Tavern, Church-
street, Paddington, into the death of Capt. Henry
Charles Le Clame Newbery, of the 51st Madras
Native Infantry. The deceased was 33 years of
age, and a son of the late Col. Newbery, of Park-
lane, Hyde-park. He had been on furlough from
India, and while proceeding home by the road
leading from Praed-street to Bishop's-road, Pad-
dington, a boundary wall which was attached to a
coal depot connected with the Great Western Rail-
way fell and caused his death. Mr. A. Newbery, a
brother of the deceased, said he saw Capt. Newbery
in the hospital after the accident. At that time he
was sensible, but could give no account of the acci-
lent In answer to the coroner the witness said that
everybody of whom he had made inquiry knew that
sufficient care was not taken with regard to the wall.
Mr. S. Woodman, house surgeon at St. Mary's Hos-
pital, said that deceased was brought in about half-
past 6 o'clock on Monday evening. He was suffering
from severe wound on the left eye. The frontal bone
was fractured, and the back part of the head was
much injured. His death was not caused by any
operation. He had made a post-mortem examination
and should say the immediate cause of death was
exhaustion from the shock the deceased sustained,
coupled with the injuries. Police-constable Fisher,
D 293, deposed to seeing the wall fall down, about
half-past 6 o'clock on Monday evening. The wall
was near to the gates belonging to the Great West-
ern Company. On hearing a noise he went to the
spot, and found a man's hat in the road. The coals
inside the wall had fallen down, and some persons
began at once to clear them away. Witness, find-
ing that the gentleman whom he had seen passing
disappeared, concluded that he was buried under the
coals. The people removed two or three feet of coal
before they could get to deceased, a circumstance
which induced the coroner to remark that it was a
marvellous thing how he could have survived at all.
A cab proprietor, named Hogben, was called, and
said that he was waiting for the express train, and
saw the wall fall. He had often called the attention
of a person he supposed to be connected with
the railway to the dangerous condition of the wall,
but he had never kno Arn it to fall before. It
was a mere parting wall, one brick thick. The jury
expressed a wish to know what was the quantity of
coals placed against the wall ; and Mr. John Scott,
who described himself as an agent of the Lilleshall
Coal Company, was called, and promised that if the
inquiry were adjourned he would be prepared with
the fullest information. He thought about 40 tons
of coals had fallen, and he attributed the accident
to vibration caused by the railway trains. The
coroner, addressing the jury, said they had heard
enough to show what was the nature of the accident,
but a great deal of evidence must necessarily be
forthcoming, and an adjournment would be indis-
pensable. The inqury was then adjourned until 10
o'clock on Monday, the 29th inst.

piness to call his. They are most delightful—small but
sunny pictures of scenes and things long passed away, but
bearing on them the stamp of governing refinement, which,
growing and increasing, was preparing for the day of higher
things. " I have just begun a course of experiments for a
white body and glaze which promises well hitherto," writes
Mr. Wedgwood to his brother John, March 6,1765. " Sally
is my chief helpmate in this as well as other things, & that
she may not be hurried by haveing too many Irons in the
fire, as the phrase is, I have ordd. the spinning wheel into
the Lumber room. She high learnt my characters, least to
write them, but can scarcely read them at present—This
business I often think if you could but once enter into the
spirit of it, would be the prettiest employment for you
imaginable. Ido not intend to make this ware at Burs-
lem, and am therefore laying out for an agreeable and con-
venient situation elsewhere." In this we have the first
hint of Mr. Wedgwood's intention to remove from Burslem

FALL FROM THE TOWEIt OF WHITE-
CHAPEL CHURCH.—Yesterday, as some workmen were en-
gaged in repairing the tower of the church of St. Mary
Whitechapol, one of them in stepping from a ladder to the
scaffold, intatitiotisly placed his foot upon a loose plank,
which instantly tilted, and he was precipitated to the ground
from a height of 30 feet. The unfortunate man was picked
up insensible, and bleeding profusely. He was immediately
removed to the London Hospital, but having his head
fractured, besides having sustained severe injury to the
spine, not the slightest hope is entertained of his recovery.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days have been rather
less animated. Sugars have been in moderate re-
quest and at steady prices, while superior descrip-
tions of coffee have been more inquired for, and in
some instances enhanced rates have been current.
Rice and cocoa have fully supported former prices,
but tea has been neglected. Tallow hasbeen dealt in
to an average extent, without any material change
as regards value.

HOUSE pp COMMONS-THIS EVENING.

The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE MILITARY RESERVE.
Lord HOTHAM gave notice that on Monday next he
would ask the Under Secretary for War whether he will
undertake that the accounts of the military reserve fund
shall be made up to the 31st of December in each year,
so that they may be laid on the table with the army esti-
mates. He would also ask by whom those accounts were
audited.
THE BREAKWATER AT ALDERNEY.
Mr. BAXTER asked the Secretary to the Treasury if it
was true that damage had been done to the breakwater at
Alderney, which it will take at least £50,000 to repair, and
if serious apprehensions were entertained for the safety of
a larger portion of that valuable structure ?
Mr. PEEL said there had been some damage to the
masonry, but there was no apprehension of further danger.
The cost of the repairs would be £15,000, but this amount
would not fall entirely upon the public, as the contractor
was liable'for any damage before the completion of the
works.
