Both legs of the unfortunate soldier were broken, several arteries were soveted, and, to mako tuo pataro of the fatality more hortible, a olasp knife in one of his trouser pockets was driven, by the force of the imper, right into the groin. Prompt assistance was immediately rendered by Dr. Wendel. the regimental doctor, who was presont, and a number of gentlemen who wit weed the accident. Dann was taken inside the offices of the Teperial Bank, and from there he was conveyed to the General Hospital. Here,
despite every effort to save his life, the poor fellow died during the afternoon,
In connection with the departure of the troops another regrettable feature made itself apparent, and that as the absence of British offers a the jetty. The offiers of the French garrison were present, and it is a pity that a misunderstanding should have interfored with

figures. These three, indeed, were the only roou to make any show at all; the least said about the rest, the better. E. W. Maitland distinguished himself by bagging a brace" and others nearly succeeded in fellowing his example. The whole side was ant for a mis-
orable 92, which, with the 102 of the firs inninga, gave their opponents only 28 runs to get. The fielding of the Service men was again good and Fica bowled with great mocess, taking 5 wickets for 2 runs.
