Lord-Lieutenant met with a slight accident on Saturday last at Baron ' s-court , county of Tyrone , the residence of the Marquis of Abercorn . While riding with Lord Claude Hamilton , his horse put his foot into a hole hidden by the grass and fell , throwing his rider to the ground , by which his thumb was dislocated and his face considerably bruised . Happily , however , tio serious injury was sustained . Four men lost their lives by an explosion of tire-damp in Linsd-hill colliery , near Bamslcy . The works had gone wrong : some foul air had accumulated in the shaft ; the meii went down with a lighted Candle , and it exploded . Tne worknoum , » King ' s Lynn fell down on Saturday .

Survey Of The War. Wis Resume Our Survey...
SURVEY OF THE WAR . Wis resume our survey of the war at a period when the prospects of the campaign of 1854 are brighter than ever . A slight retrospect will show that up to this day those gentlemen who so loudly complain of inactivity and procrastination , those who , knowing they may become the victims of cholera themselves , hei'e in London , 3 et trace the virulence of that disease at Varna to the idleness of the Allies , have no foundation whereon to base their Babel tower of ignorant denunciation .
" War was declared , in March ; in August the Turks are forcing their way over the plains of AVallachia , and an Austrian army inarches down to intercept the return of the Russians , leaving the lurks free to presa on if they plea & e : iu August , Buasia is on the Soreth ^ instead of tho Danube ; in August , bho Allies ar ^ in tho Crimea ; and wasters of Bomarsund . Those military critics who
tell us that tlio position of the Allies in front of tho Balknu , and the position of tho Austrians in Transylvania and the Eukowiua , did not help to < lo " teat the Hussians at Silistria ; those who assert that tho admirals in tho Baltic have been instructed to spare the Jtvli ^ i !) ^ ttvo totally unworthy of credit .

Looking out , then , upon the war-map , we have a pleasanter prospect to describe than we bad six weeks ago . Then , Silistria had been relieved , and the [ Russians had crossed the Danube , but they still occupied the line of tlie Argiscb , and their outposts stood strongly at Giurgevo . Now they have been driven from Giurgevo ; forced back across the Argisch ; across the Jalomnitza , across the
Sereth . By a well-combined movement the Turks marched upon Bucharest , entering ifc on the 8 th August , establishing their headquarters in and around it , and pushing onv -ards after the enemy , as he retreated , wearied ^ ° l ^ sickness and the sword , but still in goj : order , into Moldavia . _ £ b far as we know the o ^ \ J | . | ™ sian position has contracteu * .. s lon T ' noAv stretches from the forts on the 'owe : E
Danube to Galatz , occupying the fortress 6 t Braila as an advanced post ; thence it . extends upwards behind tlie Sereth to Jassr , perhaps farther , with an advance at ! Fokscha ' n'i , to coyer the withdrawal of the army from Wallacliiia . The advantage of continuing to occupy the Iiower Danube and Braila is obvious . -Retreat from th . e Jjower Danube is easy , by vnfeie de jjont to Ismail at Satunovo . In like manner the forces afc
Gralatz inay soon regain ifcussian territory by crossing the Pruth to KeHi . Braila is a fortified place , capable of standing a regular siege . Thus , then ^ the EussiariS are not badly posted , and their new position has this advantage , that it is only exposed to a nank attack : from Austria , which could be met by falling back and bcciapying both banks of the Pruth . Of course we know nothing of
the plans of Orner Pasha or the Austrians . But ihe honour- '' -of both is pledged at least to recover Wallachxia and Moldavia entirely from , the ^ Russians ; If Omer Pasha press oixj as he may , and tlie Austrians take post in Ma rear , ifc is clear that they must act as a reserve , and that , therefore , h < 3 can go forward , if it seem gbod to him , with perfect security . '' . ' ' . : '¦ ¦; ¦ ¦ ¦¦ : '
If it be necessary , a combined movement of Turks and Austrians on the front and flanks of the [ Russian , position , aided by a flotilla on the Danube , could only end by driviug tlie Russians into Bessai * abia . Such are tlie positions of the Austrians ,. [ Russians , and Turks on the left bank of the Danube . But , exclaims the detractor of his countrymen in arms , where are the English—where are the [ French ? "Why are not they pressing on the [ Russians ? "Why didn't they relieve
Silistria ; why didn't they rush headlong in . pursuit of the [ Russians in . "Wallachia and the Dobrudscha ; and hurl the invader across the Pruth P Softly . Silistria was relieved hy the presence of the allies , or the [ Russians would have taken it in time ; there was no military necessity for following the [ Russians in "Wallaehia ; for tho position of Austria made them retreat , and . the Turks are more than strong enough to pursue them . Tho Allies have a finer game to play . They aim at Sevastopol , and no doubt Sevastopol they
will have . If we may believe tho telegraph , tho expedition sailed sonicwhore between tho 14-th aud 20 th August , and by this time must bo iai tho enemy'is country . It ia impossible to eay what plan of taking tho place will bo followed ; whether it will bo ioiuul necessary to laaxcl at Kalla , and march ^ along tho " northern slopes of tho chain of hills that look over tho Black Sea , securing tho harbours as tho army proceeds , or whether a landing can ho cnected near to Sovastopol , wo cannot soy .
