THE PESTILENCE ON BOARD

THE ECLAIR.

SHEERNESS, SATURDAY.—As might have been anticipated
from my last communication, Mr. Saunders, the pilot who
brought the Eclair round here from Portsmouth, has also
fallen a victim to the fever. He died last night about half-
past ten o'clock, and was buried in the quarantine-ground
this morning. Lieutenant Isaacson is a little better, but not
yet out of danger. Dr. Coffey and the other sufferers on
board the Worcester are going on quite favourably. The
medical attendants, Drs. Stewart and Rogers, continue well.
SUNDAY.—Dr. Rogers was attacked yesterday afternoon,
and was dangerously ill last night, but is considered setter
to-day. Lieutenant Isaacson died this morning. One other
fresh case has occurred since yesterday. Dr. Heath, of the
Dwarf, having volunteered his services, had been put on
board the Revenge to watch any symptoms of disease among
the healthy part of the crew.

SHOOTING A POLICEMAN.—We regret to say that
an affair of this nature, which may turn out one of fatal con-
,olccukrreodn
sautnHdaovtltmamornsitnrege.t Bltriadpepweealrla,
that, about
about half-
past a lf.
that hour, three -
by their very respectably-dressed persons, gentlemen
exterior, were found drunk • .
and disorderly in one of
the neighbouring
streets, and in the act of attempting to
break open a door.
Bridewell they were Upon being conveyed to Ilotham-street
brace of searched, and upon the person of one a
pocket
fora minute or two for the purpose of com-
pleting the search, and the person upon whom they were
discovered seems to have
put those present upon their guard,
for, as our informant
audible voice, that the States, he distinctly declared, in an
however, the youngest Yorv;re loaded. Immediately after,
police-officer
seized one of the
pistols and fired at
No. 418. The contents
entered the bridge of the unfortunate
as was subsequently ascertained, man's nose, and passed, in a slanting direction
through his head. He was placed on a mattress in the Bride-
well, and surgical assistance was speedily procured. The
wound bled profusely. Subsequently he was conveyed to the
Infirmary in Brewnlow-street, where he
of yesterday in a very precarious state. Upy duringto the whole
doctors were unable to extract the all, last night the
conse-
quently to pronounce any opinion as to the probability of i
man's recovery. There is every reason to fear that t.le tpistole
was loaded with ball or a large slug, for the wound is of such
a nature as would have been inflicted with a charge of that
kind, and a large slug has been extracted from the second
pistol. It was rumoured yesterday that both the pistols had
been loaded for the last six months, and that the owner had
carried them with him upon a tour he made during the past
summer through the south of England. The three prisoners,
on being booked, gave fictitious names ; but it has since been
ascertained that their real names are, Emanuel Bromilow,
Thomas Benbow, and Thomas Francis Russell. The latter,
who had the sum of 28/. upon his person, fired the shot. One
of them states that he is a medical man, and another that he
is brother to a timber merchant ; Russell is an attorney. The
unfortunate police-officer is an Irishman by birth. This day
(Monday) the parties charged were brought before Mr.
Rushton and a bench of magistrates, when Benbow and
Bromilaw were charged with forcing open the door of a per-
son called Wothing, in Hill-street. They made no defence.
The bench, after examining Wothing acid one of the police-
officers, took up the case of Russell, who is an attorney. The
witnesses in support of the charge were being examined
when this account left Liverpool, so that we are unable to
give the decision come to by the magistrates. Russell con-
ducted his own defence with great coolness, but iewas evident
from his manner, that he was suffering severely from the un-
fortunate position in which he has placed himself. The police-
man still remains in a dangerous position. The ball has not
yet been extracted.

The Earl of Aberdeen left town yesterday afternoon for
Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty.
