LAUNCH OF THE CONFLICT, PROPELLER

WAR STEAM FRIGATE.

HAVERFORDWEST, SATUIDA 4.—Yrsterday a fine war
steamer, built under the superintendence of Sir William
Symonds, named the Conflict, was publicly launched from
the Royal Dock) and at Pembroke, attended with full
naval honours. The weather being remarkably fine,
an immense concourse of beauty and fashion honoured
the dockyard with their pretence ; the rush at
three o'clock, the time of opening the dock-
yard gates, was such as would have borne down
any opposition that might have burn offered. The
arrangements of the launch were under the direction o
Mr. Thomas Pertioees, the assistant-master shipwright.
Miss Williams, the daughter of Captain Williams, of the
Royal Engineers, and director of the works in the
dockyard, officiated in the ceremony of christening the
vessel. From the cards which were distributed among
the company it appeared that the principal dimensions
of the vessel are as follows : _

Breadth extreme 34 4

Armament—Two pivot guns, 56-pounders, ten feet
long, 85 cwt. ; and six eight-inch 68 pounders, weighing
65 cwt.
At four o'clock, every preparation having been com-
pleted, the signal was given, when the dog shores
were knocked away, and the noble vessel glided
off into her future element in beautiful style, the
dockyard band playing " Off she goes." There
was a large number of yachts, steamers, and other
craft in the harbour, heavily laden with spectators, but
happily not the least incident occurred to mar the day's
proceedings. The Conflict, as soon as she is jury-rigged,
w:11 be taken to London, where her machinery is in a
forward state of construction. Another large steamer,
on the same principle of propulsion, to be named the
Encounter, will be launched from an adjacent dock in
the course of three or four weeks.

MILITARY Fu CGING.—A penny subscription to pur-

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT OPPcSITE. ST. CLEMENT'S
~ a ot seven and eight, an
Cnnacn.--M Monday. between the hou
most frightful character, which had well nigh involved
accident ofo
the.livsefaeveral individuals, besides being attended with very
consequences to Thomas Ansley, a waterman, occurred in the
sZrilld , just opposite St. Clement's Church. It appears that at the
time spoken of the ItiVintitnate man Ansley, who is at the advanced
age of 62, and has been icr many years engaged at the Arundel-
stairs as waterman, was coming out of Arundel-street, and just in
the act of crossing the Stratad, when a carrier's cart came up at a
moderate pace, until within a few yards. There were several other
persons in the road at the time, endeavouring to obtain the opposite
footpath as well as Ansley, but owing to the rapid movement of the
horse, it having taken fright, I eforo they could get out of the way
some of them were knocked down, the wheels passing over the
body of the old imin, who was picked up in an insensible state. The
blood flowed copiously from his face from the kicks of the horse. He
was removed to the King's College Ilospital, and placed under the
care of Mr. Smith, the houses urgent), who ascertained that he had
sustained, in•!ependent of a fractured ihi!Ji, <everal broken ribs and a
severe laceration of the scalp and other extensive injuries, so as to
render his recovery quite hopeless. We are happy to state that the
other patios escaped unhurt, beyond a new slight bruises.
WINCHESTER.—It is rumoured that Queen Victoria
intends honouring our ancient city with a visit shortly. We give it
as a rumour only, but from what we hear believe the rumour to be
well-founded. Her Majesty, it is said, will be the guest of the POD
during her brief anay.--,Mampsltire Independent.
