W. Payee, the mows for the city of London sod borough of Southwark. Mr. Pulsed, isatzooted by Mom Tama, appeared to welsh the proceedings oe Wulf of Yews. Hall and C the proprietors of ooe of the reagaziees. The jury baying been swan ' Mr. Wm. Hall. of Faversham, %eat, a gunpowder manu facturer, deposed—We had stores of powder, or • powder magatioe, at Milt It is about 100 yards from the river. There is a tramway between it and the river, cowpoaad of wood, to prevent friction. The wheel; of the carriage are made of gun metal. There was sootier magazine, about 200 or 300 yards from unite. There was a separate tramway to it. The ex plosion took place on Saturday morning, at about • quarter before sew, n o'clock. I was staying jest below Ashford, which is • &stenos of about 50 miles from the some of the oxidant. There had bees two barges at our wharf, one of which belonged to us sod the other to our manager. They arrived at about midday on Thursday. One of them had delivered a quantity of powder at Gniveseed, and the other, I suppose, was discharging into the magazine. I have been there when they bare been unload*. The powder is in barrels, which are taken out of the barge by band. One man can beadle • whole barrel. They were placed upon trucks sod then carried into the wagering. The barrels are perfectly safe from leakage, being examined by the foreman of the coopers before they leave the cooperage, and then agsra by the foreman of the dusting house before they are tilled. I do not know bow many barrels were being unloaded. Rayner, the storekeeper, would be at the magazine to receive the banal.. They had begun to unload when this happened. Rimier is dead. He bad two meat ants, who axe both dead. The exploeioa Metro) ed the whole building. My barge wee full, and the other had partly unloaded at Gramesed. I believe Jerson was the captain of my barge, and Barber was his mate. They are both dead. The captain of the other barge was named John Gladsoe. He is also dead- I do sot know of any person now living who can throw any light epee the cause of the explorioe. I am practically aware of the mode is which gunpowder is f manufactured, having been at it (7= 1 l ean is . It composed of saltpetre, brimstone, and c These articles are amalgamated at the am algamating as they are termed. The dimple are m.xed and placed upon the runners, worked by steam. The C,oroner—The object of the questions is to sneer sin whether Si.. articles might not be kept apart until they are wanted. iitness—lt would be impossible, as the peel could not be fixed. _ Coroosr—Does anything occur to you which would render explosions Ida probable! Witness—No ; we take leery precautioe. Coroner—You think that this did not cries from a con tinuous train of powder from the barges to the mapsine. II the magazine were further removed from the water would it be utter! V. iteeea• -I think not, for the commission would be rat bcieot to explode it it it were at a much greater distance. By the Jury—The instant the concussion takes place the merino opens, and the dash or spark immediately — By Yr . Pulaod — l purchased at great expense the mooed surrouridirig the building in order that people should not he near the magesice. Rayner had been twelve years in my larvae, and I believe him to have been • careful, well-eon ducted man. He lived in a detached cottage on my ground. All the moo employed upon the premises wear slippers, which I procure for them in order that they shall not work with shoes mode with nails. I have never had as explosion either at the magazines or barges. By the Jury—.t are is not allowed upon a loaded barge even if the hatches are down. lam sot aware that soy of the men are accustomed to anokieg. WWI= Monk, foreman of Mr. Hall's mills at Faversham, deposed—There were two men in the barge which I sent ore; filled with gunpowder in barrels on Monday. It was to be delivered at the magazine. Om barge wee called the Harriett, and the other the Good Design. A portion of the powder was to be delivered off Crammed. I caneot say bow the aspiceim took place. Every mesas is takes to prevent explesioes. The materials which form guepowdm are all grimed separately and mixed. Neither of the two articles used in the manufacture of gunpowder would ex plode without the third. By Mr. Poland—T have been at Faversham for 50 years. The nee who had charge of the barges were very steady men, and had had charge of powder for years. There is • fireplace in the cabin, which is divided from the hold by • wooden partition Hoed with lead. ' By the Jury—The men Rainy always take their food with them ready cooked. Policemrgeant Edward Cox, 15 R, deposed—l was at Erode police-etation as Saturday morning when this hap. posed. I beard a fearful explosion, and upon going oat at the heck I raw • large volume of smoke arising. I Mime. distely supposed that one of the magazines had gone. got medical assistance and went to the„spot. I assisted is setting the iojored peaces out of the ruins, and media( them to the hospital. ! also seat massagers to Woolwich, as I saw • peat opening is the river beak. I have heard that two men had been Dear the magazine with a barge loaded with gunpowder on the previous evening, bat they went down the river. I have seen the lie:tarmac GAMIN, who says that his beck was towards the nismaum when he was suddenly struck in the beck, arid knocked into the river; hie mate helped him into a hoe; where be became insensible. It is not true that Grimes said that he saw something like a flesh of lightning in the barge. He said that ho mate (Bruce) could tell more about it. Brwe lives at Periwinkle-street, Ractiff-croes. -- laspecierffell said that Grimes had g iun twa or throe different accounts of the affair. Mr. Hall was recalled, and deposed that gunpowder would not explode spootantioanly. By the Jury—Tbere are so nails in the caskr. The rolling of a cask over bars gunpowder would not came it to tunite. We have no mum to suppose that it was an Moen diary act. From the appearance of the embankment should my that the explosion first took place from th e barges. Inspector Bell recalled—l have seen GAMS, and he said that lir was opposite the maxarine in a Trinity lighter. He salted one oFjnis men, named Bruce, to go down and get the hawser, when alien once be beard an explosion, and was im mediately lit tad up in th e air to • &stenos of 30 yards, and he th en fell down in the water. I asked him whether he saw a ftsiih, and he said that he had seen something like • flash of lightning in the water. The was Bruce, and a comrade of his named Clarke, re. termed to by Sergeant Cox in his widows. was sent for by order of the manor. Robed Bruos, 8, Periwinkle-street, Rateliff, deposed that o• Saturday owning be was oe board the ballast lighter No. 32, in the river, right abreast of the powder magazine. It we. about 90 minutes to 7 o'clock, aid he noticed parems walking about oe the bargee aloupide the powder jetty. but be Gould not toll whether or not they were unloading. Directly afterwards there was • great light all around the ballast lighter, and then came some thing like a volley of pas, sad the bricks e•me dying into lied about the ►ightr. He looked up and saw fragms•ts of the buildings in the air overhead, aid the rubbish began to splash in the water. Them was • great smoke. He could not tell what first blew up. By the Jury—He bad not observed whether there was any awoke issuing from the bargee, as if cookie, was going oe. He bed often seen the barge Good Design, and be never saw the crew Brooking. They were steady men, and used no bad language on the water. Jobs Clarke eve similar evidence. He did not see any thing mutilators was a great light about his barge, and the bricks came dying through the sails. Grime., who was on board, was lifted into the air, and he fell into the water ; he had not much recollection now of what had happened. Mr. Sidiey Tether, house surgeon, said that Elisabeth Wright was brought is deing from isellages, and she died fa • few =ionise. James Pones bad his skull fractured, and the right lobs of the brain lacerated. John Wright said that be worked at Henn. Curtiss mill■, which were about • quarter of • mile from Menem H►ll'', where his father lived. Curio's magarias had the windows blown is by the explosion. His father was killed in the magazine, and his sister was in bed at the time she received her injuries. Ilia.

Ilia comrade. who was with him. was buried under moms Osaka. which protected him from the bricka that fell upon sod pushed deceased. _ _ The Coroner baring briefly summed up, The pier, utter a long deliberation, returned the follow log special verdict :—" The jury bed that the deceased per- SOW died by &midget through en explosiori of gunpowder, but how the explosion took place there is no evidence to show ; and the jury think that the practice of allowing stoves or light, of any description on board powder barges ought to be diseostinusd."

If to part with 1,0001. be inconvenient to you I am quite willing to give you a reasonable time for payment. This considers . 800, therefore, need not occasion your sileoes." Mr. Beoett after the first letter allowed the nest to remain un answered ; and he afterwards received from the defendant a plated statement narrating the facto, and containing the alleipition that the bet of 1,00 0 1. was made by Mr. Benett, with the letter which bad been written be that gentleman's clerk, and some remarks of Mr. Marshall, to the effect that • copy of the statement bad been sent to Mr. Benett with an invitation to add to it any explanation which may modify or contradict any statement lin which he may consider it not strictly true. To this challenge no reply had been received. It would be observed that Mr. Barrett admits that be recollected emoetbing of the bet, although he did not remember whether it was accepted, and did not rattan, to say it was tot. The concluding para graph in the statement was as follows:—" Mr. Benett is said to take great interest in the turf. Merchants and sporting men will form their own opinion of hie conduct, and draw their ocioclasioos from the facts herein stated, which men of bunions and character are not slow to form when matters of this nature are brought before them." This statement was accompanied by • letter, which, as it stated, invited Mr. &nett to make any explanation, An, and also threatened to publish it at big slob, " The Stafford," and the Jockey Club, and to send it to St. Peters burg and Shanghai, end other places, where Mr. Beeett was known or had any business traosacticos. The coeteots of this statement was the libel complained of by Mr. Benett, who positively swore that no such bet was made or pro posed by him, end also that the letter written by his clerk was not according to the instructions given to him, be having told him to say be had no recollection of having made such • bet. _ _ Thw were the facts for the prosecution. Mr. Sleigh contended that, inasmuch as the defendant bad or fancied he had • claim upon the complainant, the statute did not apply, es it was only meant to meet the case where miscreants attempted, by means of threats, to extort motley, whets they had not the slightest claim to it, sod while • charge of felony could not be sustained against • man who stakes • thing, believing really and truly that it was his or he had • claim upon it, the present charge could not be sustained against his chest, as he no doubt believed, however erroneously, be had • claim for the 1,0001. upon Mr. Emmett.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.) William Gully, e police-coteteble t 97 H diviioy was indicted for tudairleillyieesulting Saab Complete. Mr. Itibtoe (instructed by Mr. Abbott) prosecuted ; Mr. Sheet sod Mr. Collins (Met/acted by Mr. Smith, of Arbour. square) appeared for the defendant. - - - - - - - - On the cue being called on the Arentant-Judge, seeing Mr. Inspector Webb present, and 'earplug from him that he was on duty, said he had better, as well as all police ! coost•blea, leave the exert. Mr. Inspector Webb said he was not • witness; but his lordship said he bad better mint, ss well as the other police. Mr. Illinois, in opening the case, said the prisoner at the bar, as the jury would see by hie dress, was • policemen is the metropolitan force, and as the charge against him was • very serious one, and of great magnitude and im portance, he hope d: that the jury would give it their undivided attention. The cue, as he had said, was of great importance; for if the jury should be of opinion that he wee guilty of this charge he ought so longer to remain in the polies force. The facts of the clue were these. It appeared that the proescutrix im the wife of Jacob Oreopertr., a last maker, living in Palmer-street, Spiteltields, the mother of five children, and at the time of this MCIIIIO6OI was in the family-way. On the 18as August the prosecutrix was walking along Wentworth-street, Spited 'beide. which was glom to her own hoes., and whoa she got to the comer of Bell-lane she was met by the de fendant, who had a carrot in his hand, which it would be shows he had purchased shortly before. The defendant was in the act of biting this carrot, and without saying a word he spirted the chewed carrot into the pro. seoutrix's face. It was to be hoped that this was au accident, and if an apology had been offered at the time and the defendant had expressed his regret for what had happened, the matter would then have terminated ; but it wog not so. The pro secutrix asked him why he had insulted her in that way, upon which he used towards her the meet filthy sod die gusting language. He insultingly told her to move on. She was violently handled, bee basset was knocked off and tore, her dress was also torn, and her bow= was exposed. He said he koew the place that wee fit far her, and that was the station-home, to which be proceeded to take her. She told him not to do so, as she was • married woman sad the mother of Ere children, whoa he made use of a very disgust log observation. He then took her to the station-house, where he charged her with creating a disturbarice, and after the inspector on duty Ind beard the statements on both sides be discharged the pecescutrix, who was then the defendant. She naturally test annoyed at the treatment she bad received. This having happened on the 19th of August, she went home, when it occurred to her husband that something should be done is mimeos to this man, and the next day he isonsulted as attorney, who suggested that be should apply for • sum mons, which was granted by the magistrate. The defendant appeared in answer to the summons, bat the matter wee remanded to the Gtb of this month, when it was inquired into by the magistrate. On that oussioo the prosecinrix was supported by four witoesees quite unconnected with her, who happened to have semi this transaction ; and in addition to those four witnesses one would be called who was a complete stranger to the prosseutrix, named Hama, who saw the whole transaction, and followed het to the states. house. This penoo was not examined before the magi'. trate, but he saw the report of the case is the sewspaners, lead bed come forward, sod was in atteedauce to be ex amined that day, and he would tell the jury what led taken place is the street as well as in the , station-house when the case was being inquired into before the inspector. Another witness, who bad also seen the report is the newspapers, would be en.roised, sad although there might be some slight diaerepene as be. tween them, as there would always be is the avionics of witnesses who came to speak the truth, they would speak substantially to all the facts that the prosecutrix would state. He thought be ought to say that the answer that would be given to this case was,that the defendant would deny is tote the staternest of se peciseoutrix, and be would sell some witnesses who would tell them that • great riot had taken place, that from 100 to 150 people had easembled, that a quarrel had taken place between the proeecutrix and another woman, and that as she refined to go away be was compelled to take her to the station-house. lie should all the witnesses, and then leave the jury to say on which aide the truth ley. The protheutrix and some other winsome were celled to speak to these facts ; and os crcenexaminatiou they denied that any quarrel had taken place between the promounix and another woman, and that in the most wanton and vio lent manors the prosecunix was dragged to the station , house. Jansen Cowley, 150 11, and Jobe ISerney, 154 H, stated that oe the afternoon of t►e 19th of August they were on duty in 13ellane, when there wee a great disturbance, and from 100 to 150 people were assembled. The defeodant came up when the prosecutrix and another woman were quarrelliog, and be told them to go away. The mown yin would not do so, used very filthy language, and thee spat in his face, and struck him wi b her right band on his left shoulder. The defendant said be must take ►ar to the atatioa•booaa, and they followed there. While they were going there, they did not see the defendant push the pro eecutrix, kick ber, or mosey uneecresary violesos. Sbe was violent, and mid she would not go. The defendant had DO carrot in his hand, far if he bad they mast have mein it. He did not spit carrot In her face or use any unnecessary violenou leeptietor Oliver mid be wee as duty at the station• house in Chapel-yard, Spitelfields, at 3 o'clock in the after noon of the 19th of August, vibes the defendant brought In a female charged with being disorderly. He asked the constable what she bed been doing, and he said that the proaccutrix and another female bed been fighting. fibs was in a very excited state when she was brought in, and he allowed her to remain a few minutes to allow her time to recover berselL Os ber promising sot to (deed strata be said be would allow her to go, for which she thanked him. She then made so charge whatever against the defendant of spitting carrot is her face. She made no charge against him of any kind. Inspector Ormond, H division, mid the defendant had been upwards of five years in the farce, and had alwsys borne • good character. The jury retired to wander their verdict, and after being in cornetts/ion for nearly two hours, the Assistant-Judge sent a messenger for them, donna; them to come into court. _ _ The Assistant Judge mid be bed meat for them to ask them if they were likely to agres coos aeir verdict, sad as the foreman mad they sere cot, the Asmstast-Judge asked ►hem if they mat back whether they thought they could M . . . The foreman said there was not the slightest probability of their doing so, and be believed that some 'madames amongst them would not agree to a verdict. The Atedstant-Judge asked if test was the general opinion of the jury. (They all assented.) He said that the practice of *voicing juries, by locking them np, into a verdict had palmed sway. sad as the jury bad given great attention to the cane, and considered the asides:ice, be should take upon himself the responsibility of declares( them. The deism deal would go out on bail ma bis own reoogoisanote, and if the prosocuttoo intended to go into the matter again the solicitor for the prosecution mast give notioe.

Mr. Arnold yesterday gave the decision of himself and colleagues, in which they were perfectly agreed, in a matter of 000sidenble importance to the proprietors of refreshment roans at railway stations and travellerr. lr. Arnold, &admen,' Mr. Childs, solicitor to the Licered Victualler' Protection Society, for the defeooe, rid—The case before roe is or upon a summons taken oat by the police against Mr. Hairy Fisher, the proprietor of the refreshment rooms at the Victoria station, and the feet. of the case are briefly these, as I have them. The defendant was snmmoued by the police for keeping *pea his house. being the refreshment rooms at S ictorisetation for the sale of liquors before the hour of one o'clock in the forenoon of Strada,. the Ifith of September, the same not being for the refresh ment of traveller. That the house was opened at twenty minutes to or ; sad that certain persons. in all thirty, were present, twiroty•five of whom went by a train tee minutes afterwards, and five of whom left the station afterwards, and apparently had no intuition of going by the train. That Mr. Faber and his servants thought them bout fide travellers, sod served theca under that impression. The question is whether or not, under those cirsounataree, the defen dant has remitted en offence. My opinion, and Mr. Selfe's also, is that, by the construction of the act of parliament, now of those thirty perms were travellers, for, before they were entitled to be such, they most have bogus a journey, or have come to the end of the journey, and nose of these thirty persona served had so done. Mr. Child remarked that they had taken their tickets, sad that west some way towards it. Mr. Arnold—They had, nevertheless, sot begun to be travellers. According to that it would follow that aoy man who intruded to go by the railway if he were a traveller, would have a right to stop at any ale house on the road to the station, say he was a traveller, and insist epos being I served. It might be rammed that he could take his refresh ' meet before be left home. I think that the meaning of the act of parliament is that persons who are in transit from re place to another an entitled to receive refreehmest as re vellers, and that perces who merely nand to be about to travel an not travellers wider tbe marlin of the act; they might change their mind, go by the nest train, being ten late, or a thousand other things. That being our opinion, there is, of course, nothing left for me but my duty to ono girt the defendant, bat as the emir tire it is not a case for a aridly. for the defendant has, no doubt, been under the impressir that be was doing pertly right. It is a very important matter, and if you like (addressing Mr. Child; defendant being greet) I will snot yon a case to take tip to a superior court. Had these porous been st an arrival platform thee they would have bees travellses. The Laura' supposition, no doubt, is that Derma who are about to begin a journey are travellers, but scoordiog to the meaning of the act, they must have begun it. Mr. Childs—l sm in a parrs to prove that several w eirs and railway officials were refused by Mr. Fisher sad his servant when they applied fur refreshment as they dad not go by the train. Mr. Arnold—l am perfectly satisfied that Mr. Fisher bee been under the thorough and coreientioes belief ' that he was doing right is serving these persons. No doubt he ham all along bees acting ander that belief, and that he has bad a desire to comply with the law. It is our opinion that porous intending to start ore not travellers. although, I must say, that it is• question of vast importance, sot only to the dafeodant himself, but all perces eon. ✓ated with railways, and I feel it my duty to grant biro a ear. lb.
