Accident. --In Petersburg, on Thursday, while Mr. John Hawkins was engaged in oiling up the machinery in the Battersea cotton mill, his right arm became entangled in the machinery, was drawn violently amidst the wheels and crushed in three places. The force of the jerk drew up his body so that his shoulder also struck the machinery, and his shoulder-blade was also crushed, when he became disengaged and fell.
