ACCIDATTyO 2IGNOI,
1 •
ac
9ident occurred on Monday night, at the perform•
a of the Italian Opera Company in Dublin, that might
have been attended with serious consequences to Signor
Mongini, in consequence of the awkwardness of one of
the soldiers." The opera was "Les Huguenots," and
the accident occurred at the close of the last act, in
the course of a mock conflict. In the final scene
Raoul is represented as wounded in the struggle in
a street on the quays of Paris, by the soldiers, led on by
St. Brie, and the curtain falls amid the conflict and
the strife of armed men. Just at this juncture Mdlle.
Titiens rushed In front of the stage, calling out, in an
agitated and earnest voice, to know if there was a doctor
present. Dr. Moore, of Stephen's-green, who fortu-
nately happened to be present, came forward, and he
found Signor Mongini sitting o oily chair behind the
scenes, the blood flowing very copfrom a wound on
the side of the face near the ear.
been inflicted by a sword, and as given by a down stroke ;
but, although causing a considerable gush of blood, it was
not as serious as if the point had entered the face. Signor
Mongini was much exhausted, but Dr. Moore promptly
applied the necessary means for arresting the flow of
blood, and reassured those present, who naturally dis-
played great excitement and alarm at the occurrence.
Signor Foli was so much moved when he saw the blood
streaming down the face of his friend, at the moment not
knowing but that a dangerous, if not fatal, injury had been
inflicted, that be became insensible for a time. Drs.
Scriven and Fogarty arrived subsequently ; but happily
the wound is not of a description to produce more than a
temporary inconvenience.

TOTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Westminster-chambers—
Mr. F. Carbutt in the chair.

The report stated that the railway between
Highgate-road and Fenchurch-street was opened
for public traffic on the 21st of July last. It was
being worked by the Great Eastern Railway Com-
pany, at cost price, until some arrangement could
be made for the construction of the junction with
the Midland Railway at Kentish-town. The
directors regretted to find that the traffic was at
present very inconsiderable, and feared there was
little prospect of any substantial increase until the
connexion with the Midland Railway system was
effected. The difficulties alluded to in previous
regard to the land purchases and other
liabilities were still pressing most heavily upon
the company, and without the assistance and
co-operation of all parties interested, whether
as creditors, debenture-holders, or shareholders, it
was difficult to see how it could be retrieved from
the unfortunate pecuniary position in which it was
placed. The company's bill of last Session for
authorising an increase of £lOO,OOO to the share
capital received the Royal assent in due course.
Vacancies had occurred at the Board by the death
of Mr. Cutbill, and in consequence of Mr. Reed,
Mr. Pain, and Mr. Whitelock having parted with
their interest in the company. Two of the vacancies
had been supplied by the election of Mr. J. J. All-
port and Mr. S. Swarbrick as directors. The capital
account showed that £329,967 had been received
and £472,100 expended, leaving a balance against
the company of £142,163.

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was
adopted, and two vacancies in the direction having
been filled up, the proceedings terminated.

FATAL CRAB ACCIDENT.--On Saturday at the
Cricket-road coal pit, near Sheffield, a dozen men were
stationed at a crab to regulate the descent of some timber,
weighing about two tons. When it was partly lowered,
it overcame the resistance of the men, and the two arms
of the crab were whirled round with great velocity, throw-
ing off and striking the men, one of whom, Richard Binns,
was killed almost instantly, and four or five others were
more or less injured.

THE NATAL DISPUTE.

The Deans of Maritzburg and Capetown write to
the Guardian with reference to the interminable
Natal dispute. Dean Douglas says that " the flippant
the total offertoryover £3OO. Dean Green argues that
and discreditable article in the Ti»zes the next day"
after the farewell service brought an additional
cheque of £5O for the Capetown Association, making
in getting a new bishop appointed for the see of
Natal there is no encroachment upon the royal pre-
rogative, 'since it has been decided that the patent
by which Bishop Colenso holds his present position
conferred no civil status,

The Guardian deeply laments the late S. P. C,
meeting. A false issue was raised, and a false im-
pression will be produced. It will be assumed that
al those who opposed the grant which is to be used
sgainsi, Bishop Colenso are on his side ; whereas they
voted entirely upon the question of the Royal
supremacy. Hitherto this society has been fortunate
enough to preserve a platform on which men of all
schools in the Church could take their places without
risk of unseemly strife, Partisans of various factions
are now rejoicing in the prospect of destroying this
neutrality. „..

THE " A. P. U. C."

Dr. F. G. Lee, who has just resigned his post of
secretary to the Association for the Promotion of
the Unity of Christendom, has published a report
detailing the progress of the association. t 'vra4

year it had (378 members enrolled: Sine the*
12,009 have been added. Of the 12,684 members of
the society, 1,881 belong to the Roman Catholic
Church in various countries, 685 are Orientals, 92
are attached to uncertain or miscellaneous com-
munities, whose names the secretary was unwilling
to take upon himself to decline, and 10,026 belong to
the Church of England and other churches in com-
munion with the same. The names have been
obtained by a systematic circulation of the formal
prospectus of the association in English, Latin,
French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Dr.
Lee says : "It has been the secretary's
honour and privilege to correspond with a large
number of distinguished Catholics of many rites,
whose private letters to himself officially have been
carefully preserved, as they may in future throw
considerabl.. light on the great movement for effect-
ing corporate re-union, which the late Cardinal
Wiseman theoretically inaugurated in 1841, and
which the Association for Promoting the Unity of
Christendbm first put in practical shape in 18.57."
The average annual expenses have been only about
£7O. In that respect, at all events, the "A.P. U. C."
is a model which other societies would do well to
follow. It might be well also for Mr. Pyle to ask
himself if the promotion of union is not a fitter
object for Christiana than " barking " at and "biting"
those who differ from you, which, according to him,
is the object of the Church Association.

REMARKS.

The decrease in pressure noticed yesterday afternoon has extended
to all stations during the night, and has become very serious at
northern and western stations. The reading at Nairn is 0181 n. lower
than that reported yesterday, and the difference between readings at
Nairn and Rochefort is inin. Temperature has risen very quickly
in Scotland : little change is perceived in the south. In the Irish sea
a sudden south-westerly gale sprung up last night, and still con-
tinues. In the S. of Ireland the wind is very fresh, but more
westerly ; and in the English Channel a moderate south-westerly
breeze is reported. Rain has fallen in the N. and W. The weather
is cloudy or overcast, and unsettled. At Ardrossan and Valencia the
ais high. Warnings issued to all coasts this morning.

The Western Daily Press says—Lord Penrhyn iE
an extensive landowner in Wales. On a property of his
called (in the English tongue) Red Quarry, there
are eighty Nonconformist workmen. These persons
wished to rent a piece of land from his lordship,
to build an Independent chapel upon. Two ministers of the
Independent body waited upon Lord Penrhyn's agent to
make the request, but it was peremptorily refused on the
ground that the two ministers forming the deputation ap-
proved of the Liberation Society's doings. Some corres-
pondence passed, and one of the ministers intimating his
intention to publish the correspondence, he was forbidden
by a letter from Lord Penrhyu's solicitor to do so at his

GERMANY.

Lome of the Prussian journals announce that a second
naval and military port in the Baltic is about to be
constructed oh the Isle of ltilgen. There is much reason
to doubt this statement. The project was formed before
the acquisition of Kiel, but it has been abandoned since.
Prussia already possesses Kiel, Dantzig, and Stettin on
the Baltic, and is constructing a first-class establishment
at Jande, on the North Sea. Money only is required to
make her a great naval power.
London, England, 1868-10-15

RAPID FIRING.

According to the Standard, some important remarks
concerning the firing of our troops were made recently
at Woolwich by the Duke of Cambridge. Under
the present system, infantry, when formed in a line,
are ordered to fire independently at an imaginary
enemy. The result is a continued sheet of flame
and a dense cloud of smoke, out of which the reports
of the rifles rattle with a rapidity that blentig them
all into one, and doubtless affords the spectators 6n
admirable idea of the enormous increase of the power
of infantry fire. But the pleasure of spectators is
not to be considered. By this system Cie soldiers
are being trained to waste their ammunition. The
great objection to the breechloader was that
the soldier would fire away his bullets too quickly,
and exhaust them ere the close of the battle. Our
troops are encouraged by independent firing to throw
their shot away. They manage these things better
in Prussia.. There the soldier is trained to reserve
his fire. The men are ordered to fire by sections, or
by companies. No man fires until he is bidden to do
so by his officer or non-commissioned officer. In this
way the importance of holding back their ammu-
nition is impressed upon them ; and they learn
coolness and patience in the noise of action. Besides,
under these conditions, the soldiers can see what they
are about, whereas, directly independent firing with-
out check commences, the entire line is enveloped in
a mass of smoke, and not a man can have the least
idea of where he is aiming. The Commander-in-
Chief is said to have expressed himself very strongly
on this point; and there is every probability that ere
long something may be done to remedy the evil.

FEATS IN ARITHMETIC.

The usual arithmetical feats are now being per—
formed by those celebrated jugglers the Conservative
and Liberal agents. Every day brings some fresh
proof of their skill. The registrations afford them
a fine stage for the performance of their gymnastics.
The Conservative agent always succeeds in proving
that his party have gained at the registrations ; the
Liberal agents do ditto for theirs. The public looks
on, highly amused at first, but a little wearied at last.
This kind of sport is all very well for a tune; but
then the public is not just now in much of a humour
for play. It is intent upon very serious work, and is
asking how soon these feats in the registration courts
will be succeeded by downright facts at the polling-
booths.
