This morning Mr. Walthew, deputy-coroner, held an inquiry at the Windsor Castle Tavern, Victoria-park, touchiog the death of Mary Stromell, wed 56 years, who expired from a flt of furious passion. Mre. Emma Abraham, 34, New Nicholl-street, said that deceased was a domestic servant in her employ. On Thum clay morning last deceased was in the act of pouring out the tea for breakfast when witness's eldest child, four years old, spilled some coffee on the floor. Deoeued threw the baby that she bad in her arms on to the floor with great violence and rushed at the elder boy. She caught him furiously by the arm, and flung him to the other end of the room, eearly dislocating his arm and causing it to bleed. She stamped her foot and cooks terribly loud to witness ' when remonstrated with. Witness never saw her go es in such a way before. Suddenly she gave a terrible scream and fell on the floor on her face Witness sent fey a doctor, who found she was dead. Witness' was told that in the morning the deceased had been drinking, but not much. Dr. Roper mid that death resulted from dismal, of the heart, caused by violent emotion. The jury returned a var. diet accordingly. TERHIBLZ E.XPLOSION AT STOWIILRE CT. —Oll MUM day an Inquiry was commenced at this town into the cir cumstances attending • disastrous explosion of gun cotton at the works of Messrs. Prentice and Co., which resulted in the death of • young woman named Fanny Barrows and injuries of • more or less serious character to several other persons. The explodes took place in a mall building no the mimed* aide of the river to that on which the principal part of Moms. Prentice's works stood, and into which the gas mhos was taken to be cut up into lengths of six inches and packed ready for one. The cutting of the cotton was effected by • machine fur nished with • knife, and half • rope, or about 20 lengths, bad been cut off, when, while the last piece was being cut, aa explosion took *es. The knife, it is supposed, by ' some mean. struck fire, either hum friction or from striking against something brides the cotton. Four girls who were at work at the time—one of them the deceased— , were dreadfully burnt. Cobb, the foreman of the works, was also much burnt. Tbe jury proceeded to the home in which the body of the deceased was lying at Combs, • village sear Stowniarket. The body presented a terrible cad only bete sod them a small patch of the s a t i rrilid its natu ral look, the rest being scorched, blackened, re arid bliste red so as to present a dreadful aspect. The jury were accompanied by Mr. Prentice and Mr. Rory, an Austrian gentleman, who explained minutely the whole of the promises connected with the manufacture. Mr. Bevy expressed en opinion that the explosion was ceased by the beating of the knife from its having been so long in use oo the day of the accident, and he pointed out to the jury the appearances which lad him to form that conclusion. The principal of these wee • discoloration of the knife such as it prodooed on polished steel by the action of heat. The jury, however, generally seemed to be of opinion that the spesdat which the knife travelled was not sufficient to mum such en amount of heat as rather to diaoolour the steel or ignite the cotton, and this opinion was borne out by the evi denc e of the foreman. Cobb, taken by the side of the bed which the poor fellow is still unable to leave. Cobb's face would undoubtedly have suffered to a much greater extent but for the beard which he wive, and which. being thick and strong, no doubt protected him face in no small degree from the scotching blast which swept by him at the =meet of the explosion. He seemed is good spirits when his evidence was taken. sad his mental faculties were quite clear. The inquiry was adjourned. A Bin Sototzn.—The whole of the officers and men of the Royal Engineers now at head-quarters, Chatham, were yesterday drawn up on the parade-ground at Bromptou barracks, for the purpose of bearing promulgated the finding and sentesos of • district eourt-martial, which recently ter minated its sitting, for the trial of Sapper W. Watkins, of the Royal Engineers, on a series of offences. The prisoner, who is incorrigible, broke out of the barracks in which be was con fined, and, on being arrested, endeavoured to get possession of the sword of one of the escort, and actually succeeded in disarming him. On being secured he destroyed every pane of glass in the guard-room. When brought out before the corps to hear his sentence read he permeated a most dis graceful appearance, most of the uniform being in tatters, from big attempts to tear his clothes to pimea. Although he has been but a comparatively short time in the Royal Engineers, he has been several them 'triad by court-martial, and be has scarcely ever done a day's duty, hie object being to be dismissed from the service, The met sentenced him to three mouths' imprisoament in Fort Clarence military prison, Rochester, sad to be placed under stoppages until the oast of the property he destroyed has been made good. From the general good character of the men comporin the corps of Royal Emmen the trial of such a de termined character as the primer is exceedingly rare. A FAMILY OF SOLDIER& —At Kingsoroborne, near Stockbridge, in Hampshire, there are cow Beige an aged couple whose united ages amount to 165 yeses. They have four seas in the army. and the husband's grandfather, uncle, father. sad four brothers were soldiers.

The first section of the embeakment extends from Westminster to Waterloo-bridge, and the quantity of stone will be very greet. There is thus every prospect that our local quarries will be wrought with the utmost vigour for some time to come, and give abundance of employment, thus proving highly advantageous to the whole district.
