Yesterday the Lord Mayor, with a deputation of the Aldermen and Town Councillors of Dublin, seeded on the Lord Lieutenant with • memorial which they requested tabs Excellency to forward with his recommendation to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, praying that a grant of money might be gis (it for the improvement of this city. His Excellency having read the memorial, said he thought it would be desirable that the council would point out an, particular improvement which they thought wouli be advisable to have made in the cite. His Excellency referred to improvements which ho said had been made in the Phcenix Park and in the neigh bourhood of the Royal Barracks, upon which in one instance a sum of 18,0001. and in the other a sum of 20,0001. had been expended. 'I hese were the only two same of any consequence that he under stood had been laid out in the neighbourhood of Dab lin of late, and he thought the case of the council would be very much strengthened if any of the gentle men present would point out any improvement which they thought it would be desirable to have made. The principle on which the governmeut wished to act was, • hen a public body came forward to advo cate improvements which they said were contem plated, they ought to be prepared to state how much they were willing to contribute for the purpose out of the funds at their disposal, and then they could call upon the government for a grant in aid. That struck him as the mode in which it would be must desirable to apply to the Woods and Forests Com missioners, and the way in which it would be most probable that the commissioners would entertain their proposal. The deputation then mentioned various projects of improvements, among others the construction of a new street 'ceding from the Four Courts to the ter minus of the Midland Great Western Railway. It was also oheerved that since the union the department of the Woods and Forests had drawn from Ireand so much as 3,100,000/, while the whole expenditure in Ireland, under the same department, daring that period, only amounted to 272,000/. His Excellency observed that, during the last few years, a somewhat larger amount of those revenues had been expended in Ireland than had previously been laid out in this country. In the year 1845 the amount of revenue drawn by the Woods and Forests out of Ireland amounted to 68,0001., and the expen diture to 11,000/. ; in 1816 the revenue was 66,000!., and the expenditure 11,9881. ; in 1817 the revenue was 55,00 W., and the expenditure 14,0001. ; in 1848 the revenue reached 82,000'., and the expenditure 19,5231. ; in 1849 the revenue amounted to 69,0001.. and the expenditure in Ireland to 18,000/. ; in 1880 the revenue was 61,0001., and the expenditure 13,000!. Upon the whole of that statement it ap peared that there was now a larger proportion of those funds expended in Ireland than there had been iu former years ; at the MUM time he was not at all prepared to say that a larger sum might not be applied beneficially. After some further couversation, in which the Lord- Lieutenant entered with earnestness into the subject, his Excellency undertook to forward the memorial as it at present stood, and to recommend it to favourable consideration, while the corporation, in accordance with his suggestions. would furnish a specific account of the contemplated improvements for the satisfaction of the Woods and Forests Commissioners.

TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION AT THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY TERNINUS.-THREE LIVES LOST. BRIGHTON, TBOIMDAY Monet co. This morning, shortly after seven o'clock, the train which I Brighton fur Amadei and Littlehampton on the Portsmouth line, at 7.15 a.m., had been got ready, and was standing under the shed 'waiting the signal to start. It consisted of an engine and tender and tour can loges. The en..ine is said to have been only lust brought out :rem the wo rkshops, but we believe it was not a new one, and bad only been there for repairs. Three men were engaged upon it—John Young, the driver; John Elliott, the tire ' man ; and a fitter named Baker. The !atter was inspecting the engine. A, third-duo serriege neat the regime was empty, as also was this first-claim carriage, but in a second-claw there sat one passenger, and in the fourth carriage were several workmen going down the line to he employed at the various stations. It wanted only two minutes to the time of starting the train, when on a sudden the boiler ut the engine burst with a report like the dis charge of artillery. The nest moment the engine was nowhere, it had been blown to pieces, toge ther with the unfortunate men engaged upon it. In the roof overhead, which is composed of slate, hued with planks, and supported by a network of iron, there was an immense gash from 12 to 15 feet in width. • . . The remain* of the victims are now being collected, in order that the coroner may hold his inquest on them. The ',merger in the secuud•class carriage and the men in the fourth carriage wiped quite unhurt. All the win dow* of the terminus were blown out, and some even of those in the Queen's-road. SHARE LISTS. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The railway market has been weaker, prices showing a drooping tendency all day. The increased supply of stock, coupled with the present compara tive cessation of business in this department, has a prejudicial effect, and the market was flat in tone to the lost. The chief decline was iu Lancashire and Yorkshire stock, which receded nearly 1 per cent. In most of the other heavy stocks the decline averaged 10s. per cent. French shares opened flatly, but subsequently be gme buoyant. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocc The railway market is flat, and all the heavy stocks are lower. There is still great indisposition to operate. Oxford and Worcesteis are almost the only exception, being better. French shores show a reaction, being lower. MAKES ANL) ATOCKB UNULJAILAN LTED. Lewd palm 3 esterday. I SSillt to. toy .p 392 30 THE FATAL RAILWAY ENGINE EXPLOSION. The adjourned inquest on the men killed by the explosion or z railway locomotive, at the Longsight station of the Leaden and North Western Railway Company, on the Bth instant, was held yesterday a ft ernoon at 3 o'clock. Capt. Wynne, inspector of railways, said he had been directed by the Board of Trade to inquire into the causes of this explosion, and had inspected the engine. The locsino titre superintendent has stated to me the engine came on the line in 1840, that slam that time it had run about 104,000 miles; and when she had run 1 47,000 she had a new set of tubes put in. In two years there were 33 new stays put in. (Produced a piece of . one of the original stays as an average specimen of them.) The fire box had bees re-stayed throvehout, and I find that from oxidation the stays have been reuuced in the middle about 3 16ths of an inch. Here is a specimen of three more, and the oxidation in one is reduced as much as half an inch. The great force of the explosion seems to have taken place on the left hand side of the engine, but at the same time there be. been a considerable force exerted on the right, find I think, under the circumstances, it is impas sible to say which part gave way first. The yielding appears to have been chiefly through the drawing of the stays through the copper fire boa adhering to the iron. A great number of the stays, however„;have drawn through the iron, and a great many have broken off close to the iron. These stays, which have drawn through the iron and broken across, appear to have suffered most from oxidation ; and from their condition I should suppon they were the ori gins' stays, put in when the engine was first turned out. Another thing I observed was that there was a ring eaten round the part of the stays inserted in the iron boiler plate,. The usual way of accounting for these accidents is by sup posing that steam of very high tension has been gene rated, either caused by having the safety valves screwed down and no escape for the steam, or in other instances by the water getting low, sod exposing the top of the fire-boxes, which then b.come heated, and that no steam has been generated equal to the resisting power of the holler. This is no doubt the cause of a great number of these accidents. I have had some experience in accidents of this kiad, having inquired into several of them, and until very recently I entertained the opinion that it was necessary for the steam to be in that state to produce the violent explosions I have witnessed, but, from basing it iocontestibly proved to me that no explosion of equal vio lence to this has taken plain under the ordinary pressure at which a locomotive is worked—for there have been one or two instance, of explosions under the ordinary pressure—it is necessary to seek for some other cause. A very high authority has given the power of this boiler as able to withstand a pressure of ann. to the square inch. Now, I em satisfied we have evidence it doer not require steam of that tension to produce such effects. There is evidence that the safety v deem were screwed down. They were set to work at about .50, and there is a difference as to the time at which the valves were screwed down, varying from 11l is 25 minutes before the explosion. Now, I am satisfied the steam could not have increased to a pressure of 3001bs. in that time. At least that is my opinion. No doubt the tension of the steam was greatly increased, but I do not believe that the streogth of toe stays or the rivets would be equal to anything like 330 lbs. The cause which ha. oxidised these stays and reduced their siz,s mur. have also acted seriously on the iron plates of the boiler, and tended to deteriorate their strength. It appears to me also that the thread of the screw in the copper fire-b..: has suffered oxidation. Here is a specimen of a mare recent screw, put in with the new firebox, and the thread of that appears to have suffered from oxidation. Well, then, I have nothing more to say than that the state of oxidations( the screws, and also the deterioration of the boiler plates, though probably not to an equal extent, sufficiently accounts f.r the explosion of the boiler under a much has pressure than has been supposed. I du not know what would be the pressure at which the boiler did explode. The inquest was peeseseliai what oar report 1, ft. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. The official report ssys—lt is subject of regret that the public health, as measured by the rate of mortality, IS atin to a very wafavourable 'Late. Since the third week el l February, when it fell to 29.8 deg , the mean weekly temperature has continued to rise, baring been auceeseively 33.8 deg., 33.3 deg., and last week 44. G deg. In the same periods the weekly mortality of London shows a constant increase, the death.' haviug been 1,344, 1,427, and in the week that ended last Saturday, 1,436. The deaths in the present return occurred at the following ages :-603 under 15 yean, 468 at 16 'ears and milder 60, 169 at 60 and upwards. In the ten weeks corresponding to lest week of the years 1811.52 the average numhcr of deaths was 1,078, which, if raised in proportion to iutreamt of population, incomes 1,186. Therefore the excess of last week's mortality above the estimated amount is 210. Zyniotie diseases and bronchial and pulmonary com plaints in the aggregate hare scarcely varied in the last two weeks in the amounts of mortality respectively ascribed to them. tinder We former head the deaths in each return numbered 241; under the latter they were in the previous week 388; in the last, 391. But fatal eases of booping cough increased from 36 to 79 ; those caused by phthisis were 160 and 167; pneumonia, after a sudden increase to 108, has anent declined to 94, and tile mortality of bronchitis, after remaining stationary dining two weeks at 212, rose last wok to 233. _ _ . Seven deaths occurred between the 23rd of February and the 7th of March in the London Fever Hospital. In the Brampton sub-district, in Harris's-yard, Queen street, on the 3rd of March, the son of a cab proprietor, aged 16 years, died of "hypertrophy of the heart (G years)." Mr. Stone. the registrar, says: "The two dwell nits, of which Harris's an d consists, are rendered highly prejudicial to health by the privies of adminiug premise. being built against them, and being situated im mediately under the windows. Informant of the death states treat the dampness and bad smell arising Iron this cause are very offmsive." At 87, King -street. Woolwich, on March 10, the son of a labourer (deceased), aged 2 years, died of 't scarlatina (14 days), ulceration a toosils (8 days)." Mr. Jackson, the Registrar, mentions that " 3 death,. those of a father and two children, have occurred at b 7, King - street, within the last twelve days from scarlatina and ulcerated throat, and he has in consequence written to the of of the local board of health on the subject." In Kensington, at Warwick-mews, on March 7, a woman aged 62 years , ied of glanders. The medical attendant Oates that ho could not trace the source of the disease. Her husband, who is a cab-driver, has three horses, all of which are healthy, ezeept one that has grease of the leg ; but, according to his account, his wits had not washed it. The deaths of three persons are attributed to intern , peranee. Last week the birtlis of 892 boys and 924 girls, in all I,BIG chi:dm, we re registered in London. In the eight eerrapanding weeks of the years 1816-62 the average num ber was 1,473. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.926 in. On Wednes day, Thursday, and Friday it was above 30 in. The mean daily temperature was above the average ef the same days in 38 years on every day of the week ; it was highest on Sun day and Monday, when it was 8 deg. and 7 dep. above the avenge. The mean temperature of the week was 44.6 deg., or 4.4 deg. shore the average. The wins blew from the south-west generally, but was calm during greet part of the week.

The preferable descriptions of gold mining shares were tirm to-day, including Colonial Gold and Great Nugget Vein, but on the whole there has been no disposition to realise, and thus any improvement arising from the favourable Australian advices is checked. Sellers frequently wait for the arrival of good accounts. The general ten lency in the after noon was fiat. Port Phillip shares fell to 3 to 1 prem. on the intelligence of the destruction of this company's stores by fire, but a few buyers came in at the reduction, and the closing price was a to 1 prem. Peel Rivers were weaker, closing 71 to prem. TIIIS DAY.—Two o'CLors. The gold mining shares are all flat to-day, and prices are drooping. Great Nugget Vein have re citkd to 3 prem. Port Philips, however, have been rather firmer. _ _ _ _ _ _ Cocaes and Climbs, Cobre, and English and Aus tralian Copper Smelting shares are better. Mexican and South American are steady.

The latter stock may be said to support its late marked advance, closing 26: to 3. Spanish Deferred reached 23f; ; and the Certificates, 83 per cent.; the closing price being 231 to 3 fur the former, and 83 to 3 fur the latter. Turkish Scrip is quoted 13 to .1 prem. ; the New Sardinian Three per Cent. Loan, 13 to 23 prem.; and Peruvian Scrip, 4: to 5 prem. In other stocks there is no feature. The list of sales is an nexed : Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 (exchange 2M.) ; Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per i ' Cents., 1852, 983. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, I 991, 4.

Gold continues to be despatched to the continent: to-day there was some demand fur this destination. It appears that the Falcon, which has arrived at Liverpool from Sydney. has on board 14,653 ounces of gold, of the value of about 58,6001. Her dates extend to the 17th November only. In answer to articles which have lately appeared in the Madrid .Espana, impugning the claims of the holders of coupon certificates to any further indul gence on the part of the government of Spain, Mr.l Daniel Weisweiller has stepped forward in d efence of the holders of these vouchers. His spirited letter is given in extent° in the journal above referred to. Letters from St. Petersburg of the Bth inst., quote the exchange on London 38 7-16 to 9-16 d., or about the same as last post. _ _ Australian Agricultural shares were rather flatter, closing 108 to 112, but on the whole have shown a good deal of steadiness. Scottish Australian Invest ment and North British Australasian left oft 2to prem. Van Dienien's Land shares were again in active demand, and reached 26 but South Australian Lands were heavy, closing 56 to 58. With the conclusion of the settlement, Australian Bank shares showed a tendency to rally, with the single exception of South Australian Bank, which receded 11. Business in this department is fur front unimportant. In fact, a large proportion of the speculation at present going on in the house is in exinexion with Australian securities of the various descriptions. There were transactions in St. Katharine Dock shares at 1001; British Ame rican Land, 52, 4; Crystal Palace (51. paid), 64, 4,4; General Screw Steam Shipping (121. paid), 114, ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 84; Royal Mail Steam, 81.

TIIE SOOTHAMPTON ELECTION PETITION.—Oar Southampton correspondent sap :—" The people of this minty are taking the deepest interest in the proceedings before the election committee. The provincial papers are half filled with the evidence given before the committtees respecting their particular localities. List week one of the Southampton papers contained nearly 20 columns devoted to the scrutiny into the Southampton election, and perfect mob, surrounded the publishing offices to get second edi tion,. containing another day's evidence. Before the com mencement of the scrutiny, odds were offered by the con servatives that the Attorney-General would he unseated ; but far days past the liberals have offered pounds to shillings that the petition against his return would fail. Yestetlay news was received at Southampton by electric telegraph from London that the petition against the sitting members had failed, and immediately the chu:ch bells commenced ringing, and flags were hoisted in the streets." THE OUTWARD INDIAN MAIL.—The Bengal steamer, which left Southampton on the 20th ult. with the East India and China mail, arrived at Malta on the 28th ult., and thus performed a distance of 2,132 miles in little more than eisltt days, including a stoppage at Gibraltar. The Bengal is the largest steamer in the world, and has per formed the distance between Southampton and Malta quicker than it has ever been performed before. She had to wait at Malta two days for the 'ndia and China mail via Marseilles before she could proceed to Alexandria. This was on account of the rapid pauage alto made. There is no doubt that when the monster wail ,screw steamers row building are placed on the Alexandrian line that the ladia malt via Sluttiatupton need oily be tbspAtehcd two 'clays etbre the ono vial Mareritirs, iu::t.u.l of :our days, as at pr e vent, which will be a most important ad eantage to the mereantile community.
