A VOLUNTEER SHOT.—On Friday afternoon a lamenta- p ble accident happened at Bilston, near Wolverhampton, by which a Volunteer will probably lose his life Irom a shot by his own sergeant. A firing squad, composed of members of the Bil.Aton Volunteers, were firing on their practice-ground at a 400 yards range, under the direction of their drill-sergeant, Nason. A private named Chatterton, who is a tailor and has seven children, camo up, and saying, "I'll go and mark for you," went up to the target, and afterwards got behind the mantelet. Here he pulled in the red disc toindicale that all was clear. Upon seeing this, Company-Sergeant Alfred Fenney, who had the riffe in his hand, was about to fire, asked the drill-sergeant who was at his elbow, if all was right. Nason replied Yes, goon," and then his attention was diverted for a moment. Upon looking up he was shocked to find I hat Chatterton had just run out from the mantelet and was making for the target, which was only 15 yards away, at the very moment that Fenney was drawing the trigger as he knelt upon the ground. Chatterton seems tu have been suddenly aware that Sergeant Fenney had fired, for he was seen to lace round towards the squad, and instantly drop down upon his face in the opposite direction. Thus his back became exposed to t he fire. Unhappily, the precautions he took to avoid the shot ied to the accident which happened. The shot was a low one,.and the bullet entered the lower part of bis back, passed through his bowels, and then struck the target. The poor fellow was dying at the time this was written. No blame can be attached to the tiring party, for every provision for safetv had been made, and Chatterton did not hoist the danger signal nefore he left his place of safety. rt is supposed that his object was to clean some mark from the target which he cooceiyed, would .prevent him recording the score.

Gwgri, Esq, the indefatifjabe Secretary. The names of Messrs Henry Norton and D. Thomas, were addod to the com- mittee on this occasion. The accounts were audited and passed, shewing a balance of £ 12 in favour of the committee. A letter was read from H. G. Allen, Esq, suggesting fOme allerat ions in the promamme, and there being a deficiency of funds compared with last year, it was resolved to reduce each of the premiums cxc.-pt tor the second best two-year-old hunter, which which wLI remain at X5 as before. A letter was also read from Earl Cdwdor, in which his lordship offered to renew hi< prize for harnessed hordes, with one condition as to SIre. If the horses were not shewn in harness when the judges saw them, his lordship suggested that the winner should he shown in harness afterwards, and if it proved restive and unbroken, then the prize should be given to the second best. Mr Bowen suggested that the five-year-old and aged horses should be tried on the road N,l r Powell said be would rather see their jumping qualities tested That was done at Tredegar, and he would propose it should he done at Carmarthen .-The mGtion was seconded by Mr Brigsfocke and carried. Mr Bripstorke also pro- posed that no horse should be adjudged a prize winner unless it was passed as sound by a veterinary surgeon.- Mr J. B Bowen moved and Mr Grismon-i Philipps seconded an amendment that it be left to the discretion of the judges whether a veterinary surgeon should test the IIOTieS or not.—The amendrnpnt was car.ied after considerable discussion. It was also resolved that the next show should he held about the second week in August, on a day to be fixed by the scretary. A unani- mous vote of thanks awarded to and acknowledged by the chairman, brought the meeting to a close.

EPSOM RACES.
EPSOM RACES. THE DERBY. Epsom Downs presented their wonted appearance and .the weather could not have been of a more favourable charaotcr for the myriads of holyday folks who lined each side of the course. The bookmakers put in an early appearance, according to custom, and from the Spread Eagle but little change took place in the relative positions of the candidates. Twenty-six horses were coloured, but the field nuinberert four less, the absentees being Hermiono Colt, Derventio, Walmer, and Co..rad. The race has been so fully entered into below, that it is needless to make further remarks, except that Pretender only accomplished his victory by a head over Sir J. llawley's Pero Gomez. The other races call for no special remark, beyond the following account:— THE DERBY STAKES.

King Cophetua 1,000 to 5 each agst iEgean and Defender, and 1,000 to 4 aget Tenedos. At 3 26 the flag fell, the Drummer being first away, but in a few strides Neuchatel (to make a place lor Ryshwortb) went to the fore, at the top of his speed, followed by Lord Hawthorn. Thorwalsden, The JEgean, and The Drummer; the next lot consisting of Tenedos, Rupert, Border Knight, Ethus, and Perry Down, with King Cophetua, Ryshworth, Pero Gomez, Alpenstock, Martyrdom, and Tasman, of whom the latter was in the rear. They ran the first quarter of a mile in pretty nearly this order, Neuchatel maintaining a clear advantage of the. JEaean and Drummer, Thorwalsden dropping back in the furzes, coming out of which Lord Hawthoan ran up to the leader, and soon headed him slightly, Pretender, Pero Gomez, and Ryshworth beginning to improve their positions before reaching the halt mile post, where Bel- ladrurn, to use the words of Daley, subsequently was as dead as a stone," the bill having settled him, though the pace was far from first-class. The favourite lay third before half the journey had been got over, but Osborne, after taking a "feeler," judiciously pulled him back, and the iEgean and Ryshworth went on in attendance upon Lord Hawthorn and Neuchatel, next to the latter's stable companion being Border Knight, King Copheuta, The iEgean, Perry Down, Duke of Beaufort, Rupert, Defender, and Alpenstock, Ethus being in the rear with Belladrurn. Before getting toTattenham-hill, Ladas fell back amongst tbe rearmost pair. Neuchatel was done as they made the descent, whereupon Ryshworth headed Lord Haw- thorn, and showed the way round Tattenham-eorner and into the straight, the Tupgill outsider retiring imme- diately the line of home was reached. Ryshworth took a place on the outside, the Drummer creeping up next on the rmls, while almost in a line in the rear of these, laid JEirean, Rupert, Pretender, and King Cophetua, the rest being headed by Pero Gomez, Perry Down, Duke of Beaufort, Martyrdom, and Alpenstock. A quarter of a tuile from home, Ryshworth was in trouble, and the Drummer went to the tore, closely pursued by Rupert, who fell back just before reaching the distance, as did the iEgean, King Cophetua, and Perry Down; Duke of Beaufort and the others taking closer order with the- Drummer, and Pretender and Pero Gomez lying next in the centre of the course. Almost up to the stand the Drummer and Duke of Beaufort were the first pair (the first named having the advantage), but about 70 yards from the finish, Pretender and Pero Gomez came out, and quickly headed the pair above-named, the favourite, who just got the command, keeping it to the end, and winning a magnificent race by a head. The Drummer was third, beaten a length, and close up with the latter was the Duke of Beaufort, who was fourth.

FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION…
FRIGHTFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR PONTYPOOL. SEVEN MEN K. ) L L E D. About. a quarter to nine o'clock on Tuesday night, a shocking explosion of fire damp took place in the Sinking Pit at Cwmnantdda, about two miles from Ponty pool, Monmouthshire. The pit belongs to the Ebbw Vale Company, and Mr Evan Jones is contractor for it. Between 300 and 400 men are employed in it, and it is fortunate that when the explosion took place all but a few had left work. The workings are generally sup- posed to be free from gas, and, after being tested with a safety lamp, are used with open lights. At the time named some ten men were down, making roads in what is called the deep," some 700 or 800 yards from the bottom of the shaft. Seven of them were together when the explosion took place, and in an instant all seven of them were swept into eternity, frightfully burned. The names of the deceased are Hananiah Williams, single collier, Thomas Williams, married, bottom cutter, John Jones, married, collier, David Rees, married, c diier. Evan Rees, a lad about 14 years old, working with John Jones, William Cooke, jun, married, bottom cutter. Alfred Davies, single, collier. Two horses and a donkey were also killed. The three other men were working some 200 or 300 yards off; their names are Tom Green, John Morgan, and John Mitchell. Their escape was miraculous. Tom Green pushed his hat into his mouth, and managed to creep on to the level, and get to the bottom of the shaft and give the alarm John Morgan was blown behind some timber, and says he had given himself up for lost, when he was discovered and extri- cated by an ostler named James, who came by with a light. John Mitchell was found lying in the level. Dr Davies, of Abersycban, and his assistant?, were sent for, and arrived as soon as possible. The three survivors seem to have suffered no other injury than the severe shock in being blown about. The bodies of the sc;v"n who perished have been removed to their homes. J F Joteph Green, rcincral agent, descended the pit to make inquiries, on Wednesday morning, but had not come up when our reporter left to despatch his parcel.
THE CHELSEA BALLOON.
«>—. THE CHELSEA BALLOON. There must be'but few residents in London who have not Teen, either in reality or on the hoardings about the streets, the aerial monster at Chelsea. For some days to come, at least, they will be deprived of that sight, as the balloon has taken its outing for the Derby week. As far as can be gathered from the employes on the pre- mises-thoae who were in the immediate neighbourhood at the time-the balloonwaoj, as usual, sent up on a preliminary trip to test the force of the wind, and it was blowing pretty freely at the timn, and (n a previous occasion considerable difficulty had been experienced in bringing it down again, owing to the immense surface- especially underneath—that it exposej to the force of the wind. A very slight calculation-if the exact resisting surface of the balloon could be ascertained- would give a most astounding lateml and partly upward resistance to be overcome when the wind was strong. The balloon itself has a diameter of more than 90 feet, and a cubical capacity for gas of nearly 500,000 feet. It is capable of taking up into the air no less than 30 persons, and the engine to wind it dqwn is one of 200 horse power, The supposed altitude to which the rope allows ascent is 2,000 feet; but as a rule the 1 eight is generally much below that. When the day is finèthe ascents are numerous, and the balloon itself can be easily seen from distances far into the suburbs, and forms itself by far the most extensive advertisement. On Wednes- day afternoon, at a little after four, the experimental trip was tried, and the huge monster slowly rose above the boarding that hide's it from the public gaze with its usual steady movement. When once, however, it had cleared the enclosure and the protection of the hoarding, the wind caught it with a strong pull, and it heeled over to the north-wei*t, at an angle of 45 decrees the gust, however, was soon expended, bnt the balloon took some time to recover its equilibrium, and the attendants from those circumstances thought it prudent to bring it down again. This was easier thought, than accomplished, as the sequel showed, for on bringing the return strain to bear against its lifting power and :hu wind it swayed rounct with the rope tint, in suca a manner as to get the light wheel in the centre, over which the rope runs before communicating with the drum, in some way off its bearing, and to bring the windirg to a hitch. The suddenness of this strain on the rope, assisted, no doubt, by the wear on the strands themselves in the gyrations of the Captive, caused it 10 part, and in a moment the balloon was free. At the speed of quite a mile a minute it shot up in a straight line for quite half a mile, but little affected by the side force of the wind, when it then appeared to arrive at a different stratum of the atmosphere, and perhaps a much colder one, for its ascent became much slower comparatively; and when it had ascended to about two miles and a half it. came to a stand-still, and then slowly descended, the current taking it rapidly off towards Harrow, at about the rate of thirty miles an hour. In its escape a considerable portion of the rope was attached to it and trailing away in its rear. Tnis gave it the appearance of a flying tadpole. At 4.30 the balloon appeared like a mpre dot m the sky, and from accounts received it appears that a litt,le after that time it was not far from Watford, having hy that time got much nearer the earth than at starting, and it is not improbable that it has taken up its quarters somewhere in the midland counties. The employes seem to think that it will have exhausted its buoyancy under the most adverse circum- stances in three cays at the most, but, at the rate at which it was travelling, unless it takes a course due Ni'i W.; it will be over the Irish Channel, and perhaps beyond Ireland before its time is up. There was a rumour current that it had been caught, at Reading, but unless after leaving Hertfordshire it had got into a con- trary current, the rumour seems improbable. With regard to the danger attending this exhibition we cannot fauiy discuss it until the tuil evidence of the accident, is impartially adduced. However much such a voyage might, have beeu of service to aeronautical science had the car been filled with savants, we may feel thankful that its experimental trip was taken with an empty CMT. The Captive balloon came down on Thursday morning near Aylesbury.

MEDICINES IN FBANCE.—We understand that the French Minister of Cowmcrne has authorised the admio- sion of Dinneford's Fluid Magnesia for sale in France, and have no doubt of this popular remedy for indigestion and gout, becoming well appreciated by the French, to whom this variety of magnesia will be a desirable novelty and a valuable medicinul agent. MISERs.-The most striking example of the tendency to hoard by members of the same family was in the case of the Elweses. Sir Henry Elwes died possessed of a fortune estimated-at a quarter of a million, yet his total annual expenditure was supposed not to exceed one hun- dred and ten pounds, the chief sustenance of his house hold being game and fish. He could not, however, with all his penuriousness, have kept his expenses down to so low a point if he had not his own woods and cattle to supply fuel, milk, cheese, and butter. His sister-in- law exactly resembled him, but she, woman like, carried the thing out to the bitter end. Though her husband left her about one hundred thousand pounds, she actually starved herself to death. Her son John succeeded to the whole of the property, and a worthy inheritor 1 e proved himself. He was educated at Westminster School, where be gained a somewhat diotinguished position as a classical scholar. Having inherited his uncle's property, he indulged in his great weakness, that of gambling, which he lived to abhor. The stakes he played for were as high as his antagonists choose to go, and it not unfrequently happened that, after risking thousands of pounds in the early part of the night, he would leave the table and go to Smithfield to sell his own cattle, and haggle with a butcher about a shilling. What could have induced the electors of Berkshire to return him to Parliament-as their representative it is not easy to imagine, but they did so in three successive Parliaments. His journeys to and from London were always performed on horsbauk, and be took care, in making them, to choose the roads which had the fewest turnpikes, and to avail himself of every bit of green t sward by the roadside to save his horse's shoes. He never bought any clothes, and those he wore would never have been mended if somebody had not looked after them; and as for his shoes, he would never allow them to be cleaned for fear they would wear out the sooner. He grudged every penny he spent for food or anything else, and yet he was generous at times to an extent that nobody would have imagined. A Major Tempest who had become acquainted with him had an opportunity of buying a step in bis regiment, but he had not got the money. Old Elves, hearing of it, without solicitation sent him the money, never taking for repay- ment or security. I hess by an fcecture 'May

.-SHOCKING MURDER BY A SUSSEX…
SHOCKING MURDER BY A SUSSEX farmer. A shocking murder of a wife was committed on Sunday at Ashburnham. po small village in Sussex, a few miles from Hastings. Near the vil- lage is a quantity of land called" Garderner's Farm," which is farmed by tn old man named Stubberfield and his son Jeremiah. The son, who is married, and about forty year,, old, has a se- parate residence about sixty yards from that of his parent. On Saturday evening there were living in the same house with the son his wife, Matilda, their son. Mary Defprose (a companion to Mrs Stubberfield), and several farm labourers and domestic servants. The boy. eight years old, who occupied the same room as bis parents, states that that early on Sunday morning-, whilst it was scarcely light, he saw his father kneeling upon his mother, and squeezing her throat. Hearing his mother say "Oh," feebly and as if in pain, he said to his father, "You're hurting mother." You hold your tongue," replied the father, I'm only tickling her." ° The boy again made a similar re- mark, upon which his father said, that if he did not hold his tongue, he would see to him." Stub- berfield then dressed himself, and having kissed his wife and child, took his coat on his arm, and went downstairs. The boy immediately aroused the other inmates of the house. In the meantime Miss Deeprose having heard a moaning noise in Stub- berfield's bedroom, and thinking something was the matter, had "gone to the father's house for assistance. On her return in about ten minutes she met Jeremiah Stubberfield at the door, as he was about to leave the house, and tried to prevent his escape, but did not succeed in doing so, though she struggled with him for some minutes. James Honeysett, a carter, who was one of the first per- sons aroused by the boy, got up directly, and went into the bedroom, where he found Mrs Stubberfield lyins; in the bed dead, lie says he heard a pretty smart" struggle in the yard; that he went there immediately, and found Miss Deeprose exhausted by her efforts to detain Mr Stubberfield. Several other persons were soon in the bedroom of the murdered woman, and D Simmons, who lives a mile and a half distant, was at once sent for. It was six o'clock when that gentleman reached the house; and there being no appearance of a struggle, he was first led to,suppose that deceased had died suddenly from natural causes. An examination of the neck, however, revealed marks, and the doctor then came tn the opinion that the woman had been murdered. The police were then com- municated with, and were quickly on the spot. Search was instituted for the murderer, but without success, It is said that Stubberfield had been in a depressed state of mind some time. He had been married nine years, was much respected, and was understood to have lived very happily with his wife.
ENGLAND'S BEST BOWElt ANCHOR.
ENGLAND'S BEST BOWElt ANCHOR. The Lords of the Admiralty are at sea—some of them for the first time for it is a distinguishing feature of our boasted British constitution that, as we have women for kings so we have laudsinen to manage our fleets. My Lords go forth, on this occasion, for no dockyard holiday or harbour inspection, but to observe, what is a remarkable prodigy in these red-tape days.-an amalgamation of the Royal Naval and Mercantile Services. It will be th.'ir duty to ^atch, iu its first momentSj this new-born operation ot forces that have so often flown off at a tangent; and to observe the co-operative possibilities of the British seaman with the British tar. For the first time since the Spanish Armada disturbed the famous game of bowls at Plymouth, a fleet of Her Majesty s ships puts to sea, manned, for the most part, with volun- tCGT CfCWS* This initiatory cruise of the Reserve Fleet will be a fresh starting point in the history of the British Navy. It the experiment succeed—and much has been done towards success by a judicious order of the Admiralty that, in all matters, so far as is compatible with discipline, as much indul- gence as possible be exhibited towards the mer- chant seaman,—if, we say, the experiment be successfully carried out, a most important addition will be secured to the strength and efficiency, the readiness and prompt manning of the Royal Navy in time of emergency, at a surprisingly small expense. Much will depend on the temper and discretion of the naval officer in command. The men are certain to work well together; but there is a spirit of self-consciousness in the able seamen of the Mercantile marine that will not brook the treatment of children or schoolboys, such as is the old traditionary fashion of Royal Naval discipline. The British Mercantile seaman has a strong re- semblance to the British workman, He does his work thoroughly, and when he has done it, knows he has done his duty, and is independent. But a captain in the Royal Navy requires something more for the essence of his rule is proper obedi- ence. Now, although no true seaman ever thinks of questioning an order, yet he likes, nevertheless, to feel his legs and his liberty. We therefore watch this cruise with interest, not unalloyed with some slight anxiety. The one result of it, we trust, will be the institu- tion of floating schools at Government expense, in which boys may be trained up for the mercantile marine as they now are for the Royal Navy. Such schools would be crowded with earnest pupils, not from the seaports only, but from all parts of the country. From these boys may be hereafter drafted a class for further instruction as engineers so that our steam navy may be supplied with a constant stream of recruits carefully trained. By this means the deficiency of seamen, which has been so much complained of lately, will be remedied -a deficiency mainly due, we believe, to 'that alteration of our Navigation laws, by which the system of apprenticeship—originally established by the foresight of Oliver Cromwell as Lord Pro- tector-was abolished. We should hear no more of vessels leaving our ports on long voyages, as was the case with unhappy London steamship, with three parts of the crew composed of common seamen, or mere dock labourer, and these three I narts one half made up of foreigners of various nations so that when orders were given in the hour of danger, a great part of the crew who had to execute them were ignorant of the language in which they were issued Whence confusion took the place of steady resolution. and depairs of cou- rageous perseverance.—Ihe Echo.
