FAT,4L OCCU.RR,..NL'E AT DOVER.

The interment of the victims whose lives were
sacrificed by the late fatal gun explosion at Arch-
cliff Fort has taken place to-day. As before an-
nounced the funeral of Lieut. Thompson was strictly
private ; but the interment of Sergeant Monger was
attended by the fullest military honours. It took
place this afternoon amidst such demonstrations of
woe as have never before been witnessed in the

town of Dover. Nearly the whole of the shops
were closed, and despite a pouring rain which de-
scended in sad accompaniment to the mournful
obsequies of the occasion, the streets were thronged
with spectators.
Applications to join the funeral procession were
received from the commanding officers of a number
of artillery corps belonging to the Cinque Ports and
the county of Kent; and in a few instances similar
requests had been forwarded from places beyond
these limits. Applications to the same effect had
also been received from each of the regiments sta-
tioned in the garrison and from the Royal Artillery.
The civil authorities also evinced their respect by
a request to attend, in which they were joined by
the clergy and a number of the most influential
townsmen. In short, there appeared on all hands
a desire to exhibit the deepest tokens of respect
which could possibly be manifested; and the fact
that a volunteer should have been interred with such
honours as the remains of the ill-fated Sergeant
Monger have received to-dayproves no less the hold
the volunteer movement has taken upon the public
sympathies than sorrow for the lot of those who
have suffered by this most melancholy event.
The funeral cortege started at about half-past two
o'clock from the Military Hospital, Western
Heights, to which the remains of Sergeant Monger
were taken immediately after the accident, and from
which they had not been removed at all until they
were taken to their last resting•place. The pro-
cession was headed by a firing party of the Royal
Artillery, followed by the bands of the Dover Vo-
lunteer Artillery Corps, the 60th Rifles, the 47th,
and the Royal Artillery. The corpse, borne on a
gun carriage drawn by seven horses, followed, the
two clergymen who were to perform the funeral
service walking a little in advance in full canonicals.
The pall, a union jack, was borne by four of the
deceased's brother sergeants, viz., Sergeants Iggul-
den, Beaufoy, Cotterel, and Ellenger. The body
was followed by a mourning coach, which was
occupied by the near relatives of the deceased, after
which the procession moved in the undermentioned
order :-Ist (Dover) Cinque Ports Artillery, Royal
Artillery, 47th Regiment, 60th Rifles, 24th Kent
Rifles, sth Cinque Port Rifles, 6th Canterbury Rifles,
6th Kent (Chatham) Rifles, sth Canterbury Rifles,
2d Cinque Port Rifles, 9th Surrey Rifles, Ist Com-
pany Cinque Ports Rifles, Civil Service (London)

4th Cinque Ports Rifles, 11th Kent Artillery, Deal
and Walmer Artillery, 22d Cinque Ports Ar-
tillery, 3d Cinque Ports Artillery, Ramsgate
Artillery, Folkestone Artillery, 2d South Middle-
sex Rifles, Dover Volunteer Cadet Artillery Corps,
Corporation preceded by Mace, covered with Crape,
Local Clugy, Dover Volunteer Rifles.
One of the most touching features of the proces-
sion was the presence of some representatives of
the Dover Volunteer Cadet Corps, in the formation
of which the late Lieut. Thompson took a very
active and conspicuous part. Each boy of this
corps wears a uniform cap, the scarlet band of which
on this occasion was covered with crape. •
The procession passed through Hawkesbury-
street, Strond-street, Snargate-street, King-street,
and Queen-street, to the cemetery of St. Mary,
where the interment took place. Throughout the
proceedings rain descended incessantly, but this
seemed to have no effect whatever on the crowds,
which were so closely wedged as to render some of
the streets almost impassable.
The remains of Lieut. Thompson were interred
in a private manner in the family vault in the
churchyard of Sibertswould, a village about 6 miles
from Dover. The only .persons present at the
funeral beyond the deceased gentleman's immediate
connections were Capt. Wollaston, Lieut. Court,
Lieut. Stilwell (officers of the artillery volunteers),
and Mr. S. Finnis, the treasurer.
Some idea of the respect in which the late Mr.
Thompson was held may be gathered from what
transpired at the meeting of the town council, held
yesterday, when Alderman Astley, who is alio a
captain in the volunteer corps, gave expression in a
most feeling speech to the esteem felt for the late
Mr. Thompson by the corporation and his fellow
townsmen generally, and concluded by moving—
" That this council cannot proceed to the election
of a successor to the late Mr. G. T. Thompson, the
coroner of this borough, without first recording an
expression of their heartfelt sorrow at the loss
which the corporation and the borough have sus-
tained by the sudden and untimely removal from
the useful sphere he filled amongst them. Upright
in life, urbane in manner, intellectual in his pur-
suits, and distinguished for taste in art, he was a very
valuable citizen, and commended himself to the warm
regards of all associates. And the council, in com-
mon with their fellow•townsmen, deeply lament the
distressing accident which has cut off in the prime
of life one so greatly esteemed, and who has so long
discharged the duties of an officer of this corpora-
tion to their entire satisfaction." Mr. Worsfold
seconded the resolution, deeply deploring, like those
who had preceded him, the cause which rendered
such a motion necessary, and which called forth
their testimony to the worth of a gentleman whom
no one could value more than himself. The resolu-
tion was carried by acclamation. At the same meet-
ing it was resolved that a stained window should be
erected in the Town-hall, by public subscription, to
the memory of the late Mr. Thompson. At the
Town-hall the corporate flag has been half-masted
since the day of the accident, so completely has the
sad event been regarded as a calamity over which
the town mourns.

FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER.

Yesterday morning Mr. William Carter, coroner
for the eastern division of Surrey, held an enquiry
at the Fox Tavern, Castle•street, Southwark, into
the circumstances attending the death of George
Mitchell, aged 32, an engineer in, the service of
Messrs. Easton and Amos, engineers of the Grove,
Guildford-street, Southwark, who lost his life in a
pugilistic encounter in Battersea-fields, with a fel-
low workman of the name of William Williams, at
present in custody on the charge, together with two
other men, who acted as seconds at the fight. Mr.
Fletcher, solicitor, attended to watch the proceed-
ings on behalf of the friends of the deceased ; and
Mr. W. Edwin appeared for the man Williams and
the two seconds, William Davis and Henry Walker.
Mary Mitchell, the wife of the deceased, identi.
fled the body.
Mr. Henry Leach, surgeon, of No. 22, Union-
street, deposed that on Sunday morning he was called
upon to see the deceased at his house, No. 3 Cottage-
place, and found him lying on three chairs in an
insensible condition, his breathing being slow and
laboured. Witness examined his person and found
his face contused in several places, especially his
eyes and temples, neck, and behind the right ear.
He expired on the Monday afternoon. On cutting
into the scalp he found the left muscle of the tem-
ple full of blood. The dura mater itself was in a
highly congested state, and there was another large
clot of blood on the posterior part of the right side,
also under the exterior, injuries which had arisen
from the rupture of another vessel of the brain. He
attributed the rupture of the vessels to a blow or
number of blows.
By the Coroner—The cause of death was the
effusion from the ruptured vessels of the brain,which
in his judgment were the result of external injuries.
Such injuries would be likely to be received in a
pugilistic encounter. Had not the least hesitation
in saying that the deceased died a violent death.
John Kayan, engineer, residing in White-street,
St. George's, after being duly cautioned by the
coroner, deposed that he witnessed the fight. The
contest lasted about half an hour, during which
Mitchell fell and Williams on him.
By the Coroner—ln one round Williams hit Mit-
chell either on the face or chest, and he immedi-
ately fell. The fight was a very furious one, both
men seeming to be very determined. No one pre-
sent appeared to try and prevent the men from
fighting. The seconds were Davis and Walker, and
brandy was given to the men. The man Davis
seconded Mitchell, and Walker, Williams. At the
end of half an hour Mitchell was unable to come
up to time, and was declared vanquished. He con-
sidered it to be a fair stand-up fight. Both men
were much punished ; and he considered Williams
had the worst of it. The deceased was able to walk
home part of the way. He only partook of a bottle
of ginger beer in returning home:
Richard Garlick stated he resided at Battersea.
On Sunday he saw a number of persons go into a
field near the British Flag Tavern. He followed
them and saw two of the men strip. They were all
strangers to him. The two men stripped, then
shook hands, and fought for upwards of five and

[rove, Southwark, proved the
fact of the fight taking place, and also spoke to
Walker and Davis being the seconds. He also re-
ceived ss. each from Mitchell and Williams as part
of the stakes.
Other witnesses were also examined at length,

but their evidence merely corroborated the previous
statements.
The learned Coroner having summed up, the jury,
after some consultation, returned a verdict of man-
slaughter against William Williams for killing and
slaying George Mitchell, as well as against the men
Davis and Walker, the seconds.
