ACCIDENT.
Cmnmunica'ion. An unfortnnste^ acci-
dent occurred yesterday evening, which
should operate, as a serious lesson to parents
and volunteers.' Owing to the unpardona-
ble ne licence of an officer in the 27lh re
gion-ht. a private was enabled to load his
gin with a bullet, which wounded a bo> in
the arm in a very severe manner. Upon
search being made, it was discovered that a
poison had his cartridge box (ille-d with bul-
lets.
It is the duty of the commanders of com-
panies to see that the Cartridges be distri-
buted on the ground, and that none be Used
but such as*have undergone the scrutiny of
some officer. We trtr-t that this accident
will be a warning to them in future to do
their duty.
Ccmmtmication.
Mr. Hrwes,
I observe that the writer of a ,: Commu-
nication." in your G zette last evening, has
so far o'erstepped the modesty of truth, that
justice to the late grand inqne; t for Baltimore
county induces me to apply a corrective to
the mistake. In hi; introductory observa-
tions, he roundlv asserts, that the memorial,
which followed, had received Cits sanction of
the grand jury, and that its not having been
presented by them was occasioned hy the
sudden rising of the court. This assertion
is not supported by the hact.
The memoial in questi n was handed in
for the consideration of the grand jury, and
occupied their attenti n «>wi,T >r d ies he conceive that any seri-
ous objection can be raised against the innova-
tion, when applied, as in the present instance;
to a miscellany, in which there is no coher-
e "8 ', ¦¦ r i!e 'eudenceof its parts Moreover, if
if additional appoiogy be required, the editor
can pteiid the sanction of precedent for the li
he has assumed, However*' novel this
-n ide of p iblie uion may appear, o 1 tiiis side
of the Atlantic, it is frequently adopted by
British booksellers and authors, and public
criticism has more than once applauded the
:ice. Mr Hume printed, bi9
history ot Kuglanil exactly in this manner, and
many Oilier instances of equal weight might be
cited, if ne,a the editors justification.
