The boy White was in the service of Mr. Levi, and he had been in the practioe of carrying fish to his master's customers. Fish had been repeatedly missing, sod Mr. Levi's customers had frequently complained of a short supply. Yesterday the boy was sent by his master with five dozen of plaice to • cm.tomer in the Bethnal-green-yea& He was followed by Mr. Joseph Levi the prosecutor's brother, who was directed to watch him. The boy stopped with his barrow of fish in William-street, Cannon street and handed 14 plaice to Houstead, who walked away at • rapid pace, crowed the Commercial-road went down a long and narrow alley called Essex-street, and was given into custody. Housteld in defence said that White gave him the fish. White—Yes, you asked me for them, and took them from me. SERIOUS EXPLosIoN AT A LEEDS MANUFACTORY. Great consternation was created yesterday morn ing in the densely-populated neighbourhood of Skinner lane, Leeds, by an explosion of a serious character, at the match manufactory belonging to bleams.•JaniesSpook and Company, by which one man has lost his hie, and • buy and a girl have been more or less seriously injured. The manufactory is named the Globe Match and Vesurian Works. The works are somewhat extensive, and give employment altogether to about One hundred baud. including men, women, and children. Matches of different kinds are made in immense quantities upon the premises, and the proprietors, it is card, Lave always taken cue to have overmen of experience and skill to superintend the more dangerous operations. The establishment consists of several building., but principally of one large warehouse and some sheds where the p,ncessee of sorting and " dippping," and the pseparations of the various phos phoric compositions used, are carried on. It was in one of these outhouses—an erection constructed partly of wood and partly of brick—where the explosion of yesterday occurred. What was the immediate cause of the accident it Mat present impossible to state; all that eau be mentioned with certainty is that at about lialf-wat 11, whilst the work was in full operation, the persons oonneeteil with the mill and those living in the locality were startled by a loud explosion, the violence of which tore off the roof of the abed to which we have referred, forced nut the walls, end blew the glans out cf some of the windows of the other building.. The noise of the explosion threw the people living in the neiglilsaurhood into a state of great alarm, and in a few minutes a large crowd bad gathered round the manufactory. Inside the works a painful uncertainty as to the result of the explosion was felt by those who escaped its influence, it henna bees found to have taken place in the abed when • composition was being pre pared at the time, and where wore a number of young people and a man named Joseph Mid. illeton, who was getting the composition in readiness for use. On the shed being entered, Middleton was found lying in an insensible and fright( ally injured state on some steps close to where he had been working, with a wooden box covering his head and a quantity of rubbish scattered over his body. He was immediately taken to the luirmary, but before that institution was reached death ensued. Strange towy only two of the children were hurt—ahoy named Jelin Beaumont, residing in Lyon-street, who has been partially burnt, and who is at present in the Infirmary, and a girl named Ann Clegg, who has been injured on the face and on one of her arms. Joseph Middleton, it appears, belongs to Manchester, and had only entered the service of the Moors. Speck about two weeks ago. Like many colour-maker in potteries, and like many men occupying the same position in the trade with which be was connected, he had a private--or, as some of the workmen state, a "secret" recipe for ther paration of match composition. As is well known os phorne enters largely into the materials of which matches are made, but along with this substance, at the time the acci dent took plane, Middleton was roiling other chemicals and some gums, which are comparatively harmless in them selves, and, it is said, harmless so far as the tendency to explode is concerned, even with the addition of phos phorus. It was this mixture, however, which exploded, and which has thus coot its inventor his life. The theory of the accident is that as Middleton could enly have been working with substances which he most have considered comparatively safe, he may have in mistake used some chemical containing &quantity of oxygen, and that the mixture be was stirring together, and which woe being heated by steam at the time, had exploded, after reaching a certain state of fluidity. An in nest to ascertain the cause of the unfortunate man's death will be had to-day. Leeds Mercury. ifot;sirad'smotbersaid she gave her son money to go to market and buy fish, not to steal it. She asked him where i the money was, and he replied that he had it in his pocket. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners fora week. WEATIIICiiDIEPORY.-(THIS DAY.)

It is stated that " the Viceroy of Egypt has concluded a contract with the Chevalier de la Graviere, for se count of • Kr.

This is not the first occisicin on which the Viceroy has lent too ready an ear to the statements made to him by persons who can have no claim to repre sent the financial power of London or Paris.

Last week the total rendered was as much as 1'6,165,0601., and, after making allowance for the special causes then in operation, it is evident from the figures given above that trade is in a low con dition. The increased movement on Thursday, the 6th, was owing to that being " pay-day " on the Consol settlement.

Should this journey take place, it will be the starting point, we hope, of a now as in the regeneration of the East." A brilliant tote has lately been given at Cannes, where a number of distinguished English noblemen and' gentlemen formed the bulk of the gay gathering. A tournament took place in a picturesque spot, a beautiful meadow, partly enclosed by the Gulf of Napaule, and the picturesque mountains to the north and west. The eisalienc all young men, were armed like the knights of the Middle Ages, but mounted after the manner of Sancho P.inra, on the classical animals from the stable of Don Quixote, announced at the beginning of the tournament by s hendd-atarnis on a beautiful white palfrey. After the , oombat the conqueror was duly proclaimed, and rewarded with a crown of orange flower, at the hands of a beautiful young lady. Among the company were the Earl and Countess of Kintore, Mr. and Mn. O'Neil, the Earl sad Counteu of Mount•Edgcumbe, Mr., Mn., and Mime Brougham, Lady Cochrane, &a . _ Mr. Bernal, her Majesty's Consul at Havre, draws attention to the approaching maritime exhibition at Havre, and expresses regret that the number of de mands for admission from Great Britain have fallen far short of what had reasonably been expected. The .thibition will embrace every description of article con nected with ships and seamen, and, as It will be held in tho " Liverpool of France," and at our very doors, Mr. Bernal thinks that it ought to possess very great Wm. tions for a maritime nation like Great Britain. SIR GEORGE JENEINSON AND THE CARLTON Clue.—The Nottingham !mensal contains the following Jotter :—" attention has just been called to a statement in your paper of this day—that the Carlton Club found the mesas—i.e., the money, for my election contest at Nottingham in 1866. I wish they bad—but it is not so. Fair criticism from • political opponent I never ob ject but I cannot submit • gross and scandalous Invention, to which has not the smallest shadow of founda tion of truth. The Carlton Club never on any occasion, either directly or indirectly, paid one d : pence any election expenses for me, and, except being for many years • member of that club, I have no thing whatever to do with it, or the club with me, as a candidate for Nottingham or any other place. I claim at your hands the insertion of this, as well as • public withdrawal of the statement you have so recklessly made, and which (although I have before heard it made verbally—and have as otos contradicted it) I have never hitherto seen any one venture to make in print or writing. —I remain, ha, Ogosos H. ,7121LINSON.

For both red and white parcels, the trios.- *aims were es a limited sale, at the late dachas is priests. WWI foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Balers progressed slowly at about previous quotations. Floating cargoes of wheat were rather easier to purchase. Other description of produce gloat, however, were quits ss deaf. The supply of barley was limited ; nevertheless the trade ruled quiet on former terms. Malt met a slur aisle at late currencies. Very few oats were on sale, and full prices were realised for them. Buyers operated cautiously. Beans changed hands to a moderate extent at Monday's currency. Far peas there was a fair inquiry at late rates. The dour trade was dull at the recut reduction. Linseed and rapeseed were steady. Agrkulturul seeds, generally were firm in value. The demand for cakes was moderately active. Cl:tfilST MUMS. ' Ta ter.
