THE MILITIA.

The Worcestershire Regiment of Militia is ordered
to muster at Worcester on Thursday next. It is
expected that the regiment will be ordered to un-
dertake garrison ditty.
The 2d Lanark Militia will proceed from Dublin
(on arrival) to Kilkenny. The South Down, from
Dublin to Aldershott. The South Devon, from
Plymouth to Dublin, thence to Waterford. The
City of Dublin, from Dublin to Liverpool, for
Newcastle-on-Tyne. The Tower Hamlets, from
Liverpool to Dublin, for Newry. The Limerick
County, from Buttevant for Aldershott, via Liver-
pool. The Shropshire, from Liverpool to Dublin.
The Antrim Rifles, from the Curragh, via Dublin,
to Liverpool, for Dover.
A Cork paper of Friday says :—" Yesterday 21
privates of the South Cork Militia were conveyed
here in cars from Fermoy under a strong police
escort and lodged in the county gaol, for having
enlisted into the North Cork militia and obtained
the bounty. The men, who were brought before
Mr. Neal Browne, R.M , admitted that they
had been in the South Cork, but that the reason
they enlisted in the o. her corps was that theirs had
not been called ont for service, and that having
heard the North Cork were destinPd for foreign ser-
vice they were anxious to serve their Quteen and
country rather than. remain at home idle. They
were committed to gaol for periods of a x weeks or
two months each. Certainly at a time when so
much is said about the necessity of procuring re-
cruits this seems rather a harsh way of dealing with
these men."

DREADFUL QUARhY ACCIDENT.-LOSS

OF SIX LIVKS.

A frightful accident occurred on Friday afternoon
at the quarries of Cloddafa'r Lon, situate in the
vale of Nautile, about nine miles from Carnarvon,
resulting in the death of six persons, and serious
injury to two others. A temporary cessation of
work had taken place, owing to au accident to the
piston-rod of the engine, and the poor f llows, about
14 in number, congregated togeti!er at the base of
the deep hollow, to pass the time in conversation.
Soon the dreadful cry of " war," an at breviation
for " beware," in common use, startled them. Act-
ing on the impulse that the cry came from the place
of danger, they instantly made for the cabin con-
structed fur the safety of those at work when dan-
ger is expected. Unhappily this proved the worst
spot that could have been chosen. A huge rod.,
estimated at about 30 tons, fell in one large mass
from a height of 50 yards, and, striking ag dust the
ledges of stone in its descent, broke into a thousand
pieces, which bounded with tremendous force to the
ground, killing three of the men on the spot, the
fourth died a few minutes afterwards, the fifth while
being carried home, and the six,h in about eight
hours after the catastrophe. Their names are Wm.
Roberts, John Parry, Hugh Prichard, Joseph
Williams, and two men named Jones. The bodies
presented an awful spectacle, being fearfully crushed
and lacerated. William Roberts; under the im-
pression that the rock above his head was falling,
rushed headlong into the danger trying to drag with
him another man, who only escaped from him by
leaving part of his waistcoat in the hands of the
poor fellow, who, had lie remained stationary,
would have been in all likelihood saved. John
Parry also ian towards the danger, was hurled down
by the falling mass, and drowned in about a yard
and a half depth water. On his legs was a stone
which had to be lifted by a steam-engine in order
to extricate the body. The injured mes, though
severely hurt, are progressing favourably. Many
others had narrow escapes. The deceased were
married, and have left many young children. The
cause of the accident is supposed to have arisen
from the adhesiveness of the rock, being affected
by the lodgment of water in a bevel joint, which
runs to an angular point at the bottom, thus mak-
ing the mass top-heavy. The rock had been
minutely examined only the day previous.

ROYAL VISIT TO "THE LEVIATHAN."

On Saturday afternoon his Royal highness the
Prince Consort, accompanied by the Prince of
Wales, paid a visit to the Leviathan, and were
occupied some time in examining the ship, Vie
machinery, and general arrangements for launching
her. In the course of the morning a kind of survey
was made of the cradles on which the monster vessel
sits, c►ith a view of setting at rest the doubts that
have been expressed as to their injured condition.
It was averred, in a letter published in one of the
morning papers, that owing to the great weight
and pressure on the iron rails, which were laid
down longitudinally on the ways, that they would
be likely to roll up, as it were, the iron plates on
the bottom of the cradles, and to embed themselves
so much in the river as to render any further descent
of the ship almost impossible. To disprove this
supposition, an experienced man passed under the
kelson of the ship, close by the side of the era Iles,
and he could not discover the least failure, defect,
or injury, to either the cradles or the ways. She sits
as even as she did on the morning of the launch.
The ship itself continues uninjured, both as regards
her build and position. She has not experienced any
material deflection, and neither has she exhibited
any symptoms of settling. At low water on Satur-
day, labourers were engaged in clearing the ways
of the mud which the tides had left on them, but
this in no way impaired the solidity of the work.
It has been stated that another attempt might be
made to launch her at the next spring-tides, on the
17th instant, but we believe that the operation has
been definitely postponed until the 2d of December,
and that the attempt will not be renewed until that
day. It will be high-water at London-bridge
about 20 minutes past two o'clock, near the same
time within a few minutes as on last Tuesday.
