THE VOLUNTEER FIELD-DAY AT WIMBLEDON.
—lt is understood that the Volunteer field.day at Wimble-
don will take place on the 13th July, and that the move-
ments will commence immediately after the distribution of
the prizes for shooting. As there is reason to believe that
some of the corps formed beyond the metropolitan district
desire to take part in the field-day, it has been decided that
such applications shall be taken into consideration, provided
these are received before the Bth of July, after which date
no permission will be given. In order to avoid an undue
pressure upon the offices of Lieutenancy by a strict adher-
ence to the ordinary form of application, ,we have authority
to state that, as on the former occasion of the review in
Hyde-park, applications from corps to attend the field-day
at Wimbledon may be made direct to the War-office.
SERIOUS CHARGE AT MANCHESTER. Yester-
day the Manchester papers announced the failure of Messrs.

ing to £14,000, and offering ss. in the pound. In the after-
noon Mr. Francis Atkin, of Primrose-hill, Little Hullo;
was apprehended at the Bankruptcy Court, in Manchester,
under a warrant, on the charge of fraudulently obtaining
3,000 pieces of calico, value £1,106, the property of Messrs.
Seville, 22 Mosley-street, Manchester, on the 17th of last
month.
A MAN KILLED BY LIGTITNING.—Yesterday
morning a heavy thunder-storm passed over the metropo-
lis, and in the neighbourhood of Holloway it raged with
particular violence for a short time. About half-past
eleven two men, who were workng on the main drainage
which is being carried through the neighbourhood, were
struck by lightning in the Tuffnell Park-road. One of
them, a carpenter, was killed on the spot. The face of the
poor man presented a ghastly appearance. He was taken
to the dead-house of Holloway Chapel of Ease. The
other man,
named Taylor, a ganger over the navvies, was
seriously
injured, appearing to be stunned. He was taken
to the nearest hospital.
