The boiler of a steam-engine at Messrs. Ralph Brothers' steam saw mills, Rotherhithe, exploded an Monclay,injuring several men. The engine house, which is a small structure, was almost completely wrecked. Two men were seriously injured, one having his eye knocked out, and the other receiving contusions about the head. The engineer was absent at the time of the accident. A boy named Lambert, who was close to the engine-house at the time, was terribly scalded, and it is considered doubtful whether he will recover. The Standard correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that her Majesty's shin Alacrity, twin-screw despatch vessel, 1,700 tons, Captain Charles H. Adair, has struck on a rock in Hong Kong harbour, and smashed in her bows. The injuries are veiy serious, and the vessel has put into dock for repairs. Torpedo-boats 37 and 6, with another, came dito collision during some evolutions in Tytan Bay. Twu of the boats were totally disabled.  A telegram from Lloyd's signal station at St.l Ann's Head, reports that the Clydesdale, of Glasgow, foundered at night, five miles north of the South Bishops, having struck on the North Bishops. The crew of 18 and six passengers were saved in the boats. A curious instance of the realisation of a dream has occurred at a village at Werrington, Northamptonshire. An old woman named Hardstaff had been missing for a week, and streams and ponds had been dragged in search of her. A neighbour, however, dreamed several times in succession that the body was it the bottom of a certain well, and communicated this to a man named Spridgeon, who went down the well and found the body. It is surmised thee the woman committed suicide.
