EXPLOSION AND DREADFUL ACCI-
468r NY. DENTi

Yesterday morning, at about 81 O'Clock,
an explosion took place in the Navy Yard.
which resulted in the immediate death Of m
estimable young man named James Daley, q
years. Of age, and the wounding Of Mr.. Chas.
Mitchsll, son of Capt. Mitchell, Of the steamer
Osceola. How the accident occurred cannot
be known to certainty. The only probable
cause is that Mr.. Daley. attending the dry
ing Of the Illuminating mercury (from eight
to twelve pounds) did, either by friction
or percussion, whilst moving the paper con-
tanning il, or by dropping unperceived por-
ton on the floor, and treading upon il, in con-
nection with sandy particles, caused it to ex-
plode.
MIR. Mitchell had his left arm fractured above
the elbow, and slight flesh wound in the left
thigh. He was attended by Doctors Roberts
and Charles Davis, and is doing well. Mr..
Daley had part Of his face blown off, also a
portion Of his brains. We understand he has
a sister and aunt residing in Brooklyn, N. Y,
but no relations here. A coroner's inquest was
held at half IL O'Clock. which resulted in
the verdict, that the deceased came 10 his death
by accident. Very little damage was done to
the building, except to the doors and windows
and the breaking through Of one ioist.

ALExAKDRIA, Feb. 10Th, l84t


Mn. EDITOR: Our citizens were aroused
by an alarm of fire on Tuesday evening
about sundown, occasioned by the burning of
a portion Of the roof of the residence of Mr..
James b. Hall. opposite the market. Fortu-
na,ely, however, it was extinguished with very
little damage, and without the aid of the fire
companies; two of which (the Sun and Hy-
draulion) were out with their usual alacrity
ready to do service, in the protection of their
neighbor's property. tt' as
If the building had been consumed, our
whole community would have lost an object
of great interest, as it is (with the exception
of Christ's Church, probably the oldest
building in town; having been erected of stone
imported from England in l75l. In it is the
identical room where the Councils of the five
Governors was held 10 consult on the plan of
operations to be pursued by the forces under
Gen. Braddock, during the war between Great
Britain and France in l757.
The canvass for the Mayoralty goes on brisk
ly, lots of candidates being in the field already
and more yet to be announced. There can be
however no doubt Of a choice, as plurality
will elect. L.
