The Southampton, 52, Captain LAWES,
whilst lying in the Downs, on Monday last, experienced

into the gun-roam by the hell wire, which was led along
the beams, and so passed into the first Lieutenant's cabin,
where, finding no conductor, it exploded, forcing out part
of the cabin, tearing mans, things to pieces, and causing a
most awful explosion. The top-mast was on fire, but
flames were soon got under. We are thankful to a pro-
tecting power that no lives were lost ; two men were,
however, slightly injured, and are now :doing well.—

was most magnificent, and it is hut justice to add, was
made by Mr. F. DAVIDSON, Frederick-street, Edinburgh),
attracted every eye. A pyramid of huge concentrated
circles, of seven feet full in circumference at the base, sup-
ported on the top the mimic form of an elegant Cathedral
Gothic Church, where, amid the thousand figures which
adorned this triumph of confectionary art, might be seen
the effigies of two devoted lovers and their nuptial at-
tendants assembled at the altar, along with the Lilliputia❑
image of the officiating clergyman, in the act of pronounc-
ing over them the matrimonial benediction."
