A VOLUNTEER SHOT BY A COMRADE.—Another
serious accident from fire-arms at a volunteer drill took
place on Tuesday, at Wolverhampton. The 4th Stafford-
shit e Battalion were being inspected on the drill ground, in
that town, by Major Dick, the Government inspector for
the district, and in the presence of Lord Hatherton, lord
lieutenant of the county, when, as the men were engaged
in file firing, Private Baggaley, of the Tettenhall Company,
was shot in the right hand. The wound, it is supposed,
was occasioned by his rear-rank man. The wounded man
was carried off the field to an adjoining inn, and Surgeon
Hancox, of the Bilston company, amputated the fourth
finger, and also took away a portion of the hand. It is
feared that the third finger will also be lost. At the last
drill of this battalion a man's eye was shot out by a blank
cartridge.

THE CHARGE OF MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.—
At the Thames Police-court, yesterday, Captain William
Baldry, master of the ship Shantung, was placed before Mr.
Woolrych for final examination, charged with wilfully
murdering John Riley on the high seas on or about the
12th Sept. last. The magistrate fully committed the pri-
soner for trial on the capital charge.
Bad news has arrived in France from Cochin
China. M. Lavassier de Lavergne, the chief of the staff of
Admiral Bonard, commanding the forces in that country,
bas been recalled from Toulon, where he was to have re-
embarked for his post. His recall is attributed to an in-
tention of organising an expeditionary force of 5,000 to pene-
trate the Hue, the capital of Cochin China, a measure with-
out which it is not thought possible to place relations with
that country on a satisfactory footing, After the experi-
ence in China this remedy seems certainly more effective
than any other.
