GAM, JULY 13.—A dreadful atcident happened
yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock. Forty-five casks
containiug 'gunpowder,' and many of them hall car-
tridges, were removing from Albany Barracks on A
truck to Dodnorliard, for the purpose of being.shipped
on board the Pitt ordnance vessel, of and for KAl-
mouth ;" an explosion took place, supposed to have pro.
ceeded from one of the horses' shoes striking fire on
some loose powder which fell on the ground, owing to
the casks not being properly coopered, and killed Geo.
Mundell (who has left a wile, expecting daily her con-
finement), owner of the truck, and James Purvis. one of
the crew ni the Pitt, who has also left a wife in a state
of pregnancy, and five young children. The drayman
and two soldiers are now lying in the Hospital in a very
dangerous state. 13 .th horses were killed; part of the
thiii horse was actually blown across the Medina river,
leading from Cowes to Newport.. The beautiful man•
sion of Dickens Buckell, Esq. of Dodnor,• war almost
blown to atoms ; the doors and windows were blown
out, and all the ceilings and the roof of the house de-
stroyed ; the family were at dinner, and all were slightly
injured ; but, we are happy to say, none seriously.—
Other houses at Dodnor were injured, and some boats
which were lying in the river were pierced with balls.
Ttie shock was heard at Cowes, Ryde, Shankiin, and
other parts of the island. The Coroner's Inquest sat
this morning on the dead bodies; and returned' the fol-
lowing verditt ;--." Accidental Death, owing •to the
ammunition being conveyed on an improper truck."
FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE Rior IN DUNUIL—
CoLLEGR-STRRET.---A further investigation of this busi-
ness was proceeded in yesterday, before the Welt Hon.
the LORD MAYOR, Alderman FLEMING, Sir UARRIT
NEVILLE, Mr. GAaBETT, and Mr. COLE, when several
other witnesses were examined, in the course of which
Mr. WALLACE, a professional Gentleman, appealed to
the Magistrates, and said that there was no evidence
against one of the three persons who had been in the
vessel, and as it would be necessary on the trial fox the
other two to thew the origin of the affair, it would be
hard to deprive them of the only evidence thiy could
have,"bY making all three partners in the transaction.—
Mr. GARBITT thought there was quite sufficient pi-
dente to send all of them for trial, and wishei to know
from Mr. Wallace, which of the Gentlemen he thought
the evidence did not affect, to which Mr. W. replied, he
could not say which of the three, but certainly there was
no evidence to affect one of them. After a long discouion
on this point, it was ruled by the Bench that informa-
tions should be taken against all parties. Most of the
prisoners for the riot and assault were admitted to bail
in the course of the day. The recognizAnces required
for the three. Gentlemen is the' vessel were, themselves
in 1001. and two sureties in 501.—Freeman's Journal,
,July 13.
