NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCA.

A sad accident occurred at the Royal Artillery
Barracks, Woolwich, on Saturdly afternoon last.
Sergeant Collins, rough rider, attached to the Rid-
ing-house establishment, Royal Horse Artillery, had
been engaged breaking in a young and vicious
horse ; on leaving the stables, and when rounding
the corner at the entrance to the East-rear range, the
horse refused to answer the reins, became restive, and
ran the cart to which it was attached against a
gun at the entrance to the range, causing it to turn
completely over on the sergeant. The horse
then commenced kicking violently, and inflicted
most severe injuries with his hind feet on the bead
of the sergeant, who was so situated that he was
unable to extricate himself fro:n his perilous posi-
tion. When he was got out, which was a work of
great difficulty, he was quite insensible and covered
with blood. He was at once conveyed to the
Herbert Hospital, where his wounds were dressed,
and everything was done to alleviate his suffer-
ings. It was thought from the serious nature
of the injuries he received that it was impossible
for him to survive the night, but he is now likely
to recover.

We have to record the death of Admiral Juhn
Gore, at Clifton, near Bristol, on Tuesday List, at
the advanced age of 85. The deceased Admiral
entered the navy iu September, 1797, as midship-
man on board the Santa Margurita, 36, Capt. Geo.
Parker, on the Irish station. In may, 1804, l.e
obtained his rank as Lieutenant, and in 1807 was
present at the reduction of Copenhagen, ou board
the I'rince of \Vales, 98, bearing the flag of Lord
Gambier. From March, until the end of July,
1809, ho acted as Commander of the Thrush and
Griffon sloops, in the latter of which he was en-
gaged at the blockade and surrender of the city of
Sau Domingo. His commissions bore date as fol-
lows :—Lieutenant, May 28, 1804 ; Commander,
October 10, 1822 ; Captain, July 27, 1825 ; re-
tired Rear-Admiral, January 21, 1851; retired
Vice-Admiral, December 18, 1858 ; and retired
Admiral, December 15, 1863.

The Earl of Derby, says the Globe, has accepted
an invitation to spend a few days with Mr. Disraeli at
Hughonden.

Mr. W. H. Foster, son of Mr. W. 0. Foster, of
Apley Park, will probably bo brought forward in the Libe-
ral interest for Bridgnorth when Mr. Whitmore retires.

The laying of the second Persian Gulf Cable hay-
ing been successfully completed, the party employed on the
work, under Major Champain, LE., has returned to Bom-
bay.

The Daily News throws discredit on the statement
made by the Broad Arrow, that a reducticn of five millions
sterling is expected in the estimates :—" It is hardly prob-
able, however, that the estimates are so far advanced that
the actual amount of the reduction can be correctly quoted.'
Mr. Richardson, who was shot in the New York
Tribune office, died on December 2d. On the Tuesday pre-
ceding his death ho was married to Mrs. M'Farland, a most
impressive ceremony being performed by Mr. Henry Ward
Beecher.

Her Royal Highness Princess Christian laid the
foundation-stone of the new chancel of Windsor parish
church on Monday. Prince Christian was also present.
The new Bishop of Winchester (Dr. Wilberforce), the Rev.
If. J. Ellison, and a number of the local clergy assisted at
the ceremony.

An Orange demonstration came off on Saturday
evening in the Church of England Literary Institute,
Burnley. The chair war occupied by Mr. Booth Mason,
who criticised the action of the present Government with
regard to Ireland, and said that Orangemen were the only
body of men able to cope with the people of that country.
The statement made some time since that the 22d
Company of Royal Engineers will be selected to form a
" telegraph company" is now confirmed. - That regiment—
strengthened by the addition of the best men for tho work
in the other companies of the service—is to be engaged upon
the wires and in other ways sosoon as the Government shall
have taken the lines over.

It is stated that about forty beasts, which were
exhibited at the Smithfit•ld Club's Show, have been stopped
by order of the Privy Council on account of disease. It
seems that this seizure was made on the pretext that some
of the provender which was eaten by some foreign cattle
travell'ilg on the same liuo was given to the Smithfield Club
cattle.

A note from Great Yarmouth on Sunday stated

that the crew, 18 in number, of the steamer Xanthe, of
Leith, Scott master, from Shields for Gibraltar, with coals,
were received at the Sa'Mrs' Home, on the previous night.
In the Wok', the weather being hazy, the Xanthe came in
collision with the steamer It L. Aston, of Shields. The
Xauthe sank in 25 minutes. The ship and cargo were
valued at .£15,'00.

An agitation has been going on amongst the
brewers and publicans of Liverpool to discontinue the prac-
tice which exists in the town of giving over measures of all.
A League was formed to carry out the reduction. After a
four days' trial the combination has broken down, and the
attempt to introduce the "short pull" has therefore been
abandoned. It is intended, however, to renew the agitation.

The case of Bishop Twells is still exciting painful
interest in the diocese of Natal. The Friend of the Orange
Free State, says :—" Should Bishop Twells fail either to
appear or make any defence on the 31st of January next the
Metropolitan will, without delay, proceed to remove him
from his bishopric, and after that it is to be hoped no diffi-
culty will bo allowed to prevent the consecration of the
Venerable Archdeacon Merriman to the vacant seat.

The Birmingham Gazette remarks on the continued
exclusion of coalbreaking machinery from the collieries of
South Staffordshire; and prophesies its adoption in that
district, as well as those more northerly. The subject has
been brought under the notice of the South Staffordshire
and East Worcestershire Institute of Mining Engineers, and
a trial of Mr. Bidder's machine for coalbroaking will soon
be arranged in the district.

A " Conservative demonstration," intended to
inaugrato a Manchester Working Men's Conservative Asso-
ciation, was held at Bello Vue Gardens, on Saturday. Tho
"tea" was attended by about 2,000 persons, who were ad-
dressed by Mr. Birloy, M.P., the two members for Salford,
and others. The Manchester Examiner gives it as a remark-
able instance of "reciprocity" that many of the gentlemen
on the platform worn blue favours, made up of French silk
and crowned by a medal of Parisian manufacture.
The Pall Mall Gazette learns from Ireland that in
consequence of certain information which reached the Go-
vernment through private sources last week it has boon
found necessary to take precautionary measures against
possible attempts at insurrection in certain districts. Lord
Stratbnairn received instructions to prepare seven flying
columns under picked officers, ready to move at an hour's
warning on any part of the country threatened by Fenian
disaffection.

The North of Ireland correspondent of the Globe
believes that the expulsion of Mr. Dalway, M.P., and the
writers for the Liberal press from the Grand Orange Lodge
of Ireland, is likely to lead to very serious results. Many
Orangemen think that a vote of censure would have fully
met Mr. Dalway's case, whilst the Carrickfergus Orangemen
are enthusiastic in his favour. A wiser policy, says the
writer, would have dictated a more moderato course, as a
split in the Orange Institution is likely to result from the
extreme steps that have now been taken.

A daring attempt was made to murder the
Governor of Woking Convict Prison, Captain Bramley.
On Sunday afternoon, as the convicts- were filing out of
chapel, after service, one of the prisoners, stated to have
once been a prize fighter, rushed upon the Governor, and
stabbed him twice in the breast and once in the loin. The
instrument used by the assailant was a round piece of old
iron which had been filed to a point, but was rather blunt.
A warder, quick as possible, sprang upon the fellow, and he
was at once secured and lodged in a cafe place. Tho Gover-
nor's wounds are not regarded as dangerous.
The working men of Birmingham still continue to
discuss the question of Free-trade most warmly at a weekly
Saturday night mooting. The debate is nearly closed, and
next week a resolution is to be moved, so a stirring evening
may be expected. On Saturday night last ono speaker at-
tributing the increase of mills in Lancashire to Free-trade,
pointed out what effect the increase had had upon the Earl
of Derby's fortune, oven though it had not benefited the
working man. To which a speaker replied, that not only
had Lord Derby but manufacturers also had gained greatly by
the Increase, yet they no more than the Earl of Derby had
raised the workmen.

The Rome correspondent of the Pall-Mall Gazelle,
writing Dec. 6th, says—" This morn'ng the Pope received
92 Italian bishops in one audienco,•and then gave a similar
reception to 100 priests coming from tho Italian provinces.
Tho priests, carried away by their enthusiasm, throw them-
selves in a mass on the Popo to kiss his foot, and so pressed
the Holy Father that ho was obliged to call the Noble
Guard to his rescue. On their coming up the Sove-
reign Pontiff rose from his throne, and quitted the
saloon. Tho priests were deeply humiliated by this mark
of displeasure, and persuaded Monsignor Pacca to entreat
the Pope te,rctffn, solemnly 'pledging t4omtlelves to be
inorenrudoeff_kgsAtkAK/14519.E.."—'
