SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednes- day morning as Anthony Jackson and John Burns were employed in the bottom of a well, which they were sinking, within the Military Barrack yard, a sudden explosion took place, and they were both mangled by the fragments of the rock in a most dreadful manner.— On hearing the noise, two men were immediately lowered down by the windlass, when they found the well, which is about 40 feet deep, full of smoke. Henry Hatton, who descended first after groping about for some time, and feeling nothing but stone, at last discovered the head of Jackson ;—his body was completely buried with the pieces of stone, many of them of very large size, above a hundred weight. It was iron stone. After removing them, one of his legs was found to be twisted round and bent. A rope was tied round his body, and he was pulled up to the top. Burns, the other sufferer, was found also covered with stone, and his head bent upon his chest, the well not being wide enough to admit his lying at full length. He was also hoisted up, and two doors being procured, they were carried to the Hospital. Jackson's left leg was much shattered and the right thigh fractured in several places, besides wounds about the head and body. Both his legs were successfully amputated, but the injuries he had received in the different parts of his body were more than nature could bear, and he died soon after. —The Jury returned a verdict,—" Killed by Accident." Burns is now in the Hospital, in a very dangerous state. It would appear that Jackson had usually rammed down the charge for blowing the rock with an iron bar, which, striking fire upon the stone, had ignited the gunpowder. We hope we shall never hear of iron being again used for such a purpose. Indeed the tools ought to be removed to a distance before the powder is brought down, as where the rock is flinty or chalybeate, even the fall of a piece of iron may raise a spark, and occasion a similar accident.
