*parting Intelligence. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MUTING. FRIDAY. The " First October " meeting was conehided guider very favourable auspices, the weather being delig t . folly fine, and the attendance though somewhat sheet* of ale previous days, being quite up to the average of the • ennelodiag day. The card contained no leas than ten woes, inclusive of matches, the first being set down for decision at 12 o'clock and the last at 3.55, so to to • atalio the various divisions to get home early. On Thurs day night the only feature at the rooms was the retrogres • aim of Chepstow for the Cesarewitch and the advancement of Bradamante to " the pride of place." The day' @port was not very eventful, the card being chiefly made up of the " sweepstakes " events, for which Newmarket is famous. The Duke of York, although starting at a com paratively outride price for the October Handicap, was hacked for a good deal of money, and proved anything but a turn up fcr the bookmakers. The race was won eerily enough, and the favourite, Split the Difference, who was backed for pounds, shillinp, and pence, made but a awry exhibition of himself. Details of the running are appended.

One or two breaks away occurred before Mr. M`George could get the competitors in order, but at a few minutes past the time set for the rime a good start was effected, Redan being the first to show in advance, having for kis ilunsetliaLe attendants Split the Difference, Arisea, Leyhourne, King Charming, and Duke of York, the latter on the extreme right. On the lower ground the meet prominent were Bramah, Anti-Macassar, Plutus, and Broomielaw. but the crushing weight on Mr. Chaplin's horse told its tale before going . 200 yards, and the rase jacket soon joined the rear division. Redan maintained his lead till reaching the Bushes Hill, where the non-stay big son of Artillery died away, Split the Difference being left with a slight lead. In the dip the favourite was going' so well, with Actres anti Duke of York in close attendance, that he appeared to have the race in hand' but Duke of York answering to Huxtable's resolute call, took up the running on the whip hand of Split the Difference, who unmistakeably " cut it when a final effort was required, and allowed Aches and the " turned-loose" Lively to join him, the threentaniugheadand head, but theiretforts were unavailing to reach Duke of York, who won easily by two lengths. Ackea obtained " the pony " for second horse by a head only, while the favourite landed his backers' place money by a similar distance from Lively. Four or five lengths off came Cambuscan, fifth ; Miss Harriette and King ( - laming being next, several lengths from whom was Hawkswell, eighth, Camellia ninth, Leybourne tenth, and Redan eleventh.

TRAORDIPARY CHARON OF ROBBERY ,•,. 404LNST A BANK CLERK. At the Mansion-house, yesterday, James Wil liam Woods, a tall, gentlemanly-looking man, who was stated to be only 22 years old, was brought before Alderman Lust, M.P., who presided in the absence of the Lord Mayor, in custody of Michael Hayden, the detective officer, charged with stealing a 100/. Bunk of England note, the property of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., the bankers, of Lombard-street. Mr. Mullen., the solicitor to the Bankers' Association, attended on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Weatherbesd, from the office of Mr. T. Beard, appeared fur the prisoner. The mum appeared to create a good deal of interest from the eiromentanoes connected with it, and also from the fact that the prisoner, who has been for some time in the service of the bank, is moat respectably connected, and his father, who is an extensive farmer in Kent, has been for many years a tenant of Mr. Hoare, one of the partners in the firm. It appeared that on the 14th of September • sum of 185/. 10s. 6d, was paid into the bank of Messrs. Barnett and CO., by a firm who kept an account with them, Messrs. Fauntleroy and Co., ivory and hard wood mer chants, in Southwark, which amount was composed of a Bank of England note for 1001. and cheques, and in due course this note should have been placed to the credit of Messrs. Fauntleroy and Co., in their banking account. At the close of the day the balance was foumd to be 100/. short, and after an investigation had taken place into the amounts, it was ascertained that the deficiency amounted in the loss of the 1001. note that had been paid in by Messrs. Fauntleroy, and further inquiry led to the die. coiery that on the same day the note had been changed for gold at the Bank of England, and that it then bore thaendorement "George Robson," King's Head, Borough. The matter was then further investigated by Mr. Mullina, who placed the inquiry in the bands of Hayden, a most experienced detective offioer, and in the result the prisoner was taken into custody, and the evidence that was obtained to support the charge of having stolen the note in ques tion was of rather an extraordinary character. Mr. Grayy, one of the principal cashiers in the bank of Barnett, game, and Co., spoke to the ordinary course of duty being, when notes were paid in, that they were I marked with the name of the customer and placed in a box, and were afterwards entered in • ledger, but this • particular 1001. note never seemed to have been so en tered. He said that in the beginning of the month of September the asked to be permitted to have 101. ' as a loan for • few days, and he produced • letter purport . ing to be signed by a Mr. Farman, residing at Padding ton, and which represented that he had sold • horse for the prisoner for IV. 10s., and that he should have the money in a few days. He allowed the prisoner to have the money, believing that he would be in a position to repay it when he received the money for his horse, and at the time he did not pay particular attention to the hand writing of the letter, but having since examined it more carefully, he was of opinion that it was written by the BETTING AT MANCHIEITER.-FRIDAT. CERAREWITeIf. 10 to 1 egg Bradamanto (t 20 to 1 opt Dubiety (t D & olf) 10 to 1 Jollity !off) 100 to 8 Cheystow(t&O 25 to 1 Zenobla 100 to 8 Lotharlo (off. 33 to 1 Actea 'OM 100 to 7 Potomac (t d: o) I 50 to 1 burns, (off) 100 to 6 Ilathildo (off, t 20 to 1) CAMBRII 10 to 1 on prisoner. Some further evidence was then addiseed, the effect of which was to show that the prisonerlreceived the IW. and that he did not repay it at the time he had prom that he sold a horse and would pay the money he had borrowed when he was paid for it. On the 14th of September, the day the note was stolen, the prisoner asked for leave of absence for two or three bon's, saying that he was going up to the west end of the town to receive the money for his horse, and he left the bank, and it appeared that very shortly afterwards the note was changed for gold at the Bank of England. When the primmer returned to the bank he appeared to have banded the cashier who had advanced him the IW. a post-office order for that amount, and at the same time asked him to change another for 4!. 10s., representing that he had received the two money orders as the price of his horse. It turned out that on the day the note was changed at the Bank of Mislead some person had obtained the two money orders in question at a post-office in the neighbourhood of Oxford-street, in the name of Farman, and the usual post-office form for these money orders was filled up in the handwriting of the pri soner. It was also proved that the Mr. Farman referred to -by him knew nothing of the prisoner, and there was no truth in his statement that ho had been engaged in selling a horse for him. Michael Haydon was then examined—He said that in consequence of a communication that he received he went on the 20th of September to the bank of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., and found the prisoner in a private room with Mr. Mullens, the solicitor, and Mr. Barnett, one of the partners. Mr. Barnett, when witness went in, ad dressed the prisoner, and said he was sorry to tell him that he was suspected of having stolen a 100/. note, and he added that the circumstances were so suspicious that the matter bad been placed in the hands of Mr. Mullens, the solicitor, in order that he might investigate thew, but no one would feel more pleasure than he should if the prisoner could clear himself. Mr. Mullens then addressed the pri soner, and said that the matter had been placed in his hands, and that it was necessary he should at once tell him that he had been assured that he had stated that he bad gone to Oxford-street to receive the money for a horse be had sold for 141. 10s., and that he was paid in two money-orders, one for 10/. and the other for 4/. 10s. The prisoner bowed, and said " That is so." Mr. Mullens then proceeded to state to the prisoner that he had procured the forms when the money orders were applied for, and produced them, and said it was his duty to tell him that the filling up of those forms, and the endorsement on the back of the 1001. note, when it was cashed at the Bank of England, appeared to be in his handwriting. The documents referred to were then shown to the prisoner, and after looking at them he said " If anyone has been copying my handwriting I can not help it. I never had the money, and I know nothing about it." Mr. Mullens then said that it would be his duty to charge him with stealing the 100/., and witness took him to Bow-lane police-station, where the charge was read over to him, and he made no reply. The prisoner, at ' his request, wrote the address of Mr. Farman in his pocket-book, and he produced it. The entry referred to was shown to the bench, and the writing appeared to entirely correspond with that relating to the alleged sale of the horse. There was also this remarkable coincidence that the word Paddington ter minated in both document. with "don" instead of " ton." Mr. Mullen!' said that this was all the evidence he was in a condition to produce on the present occasion, as the witness from the money order office could not attend on account of illness. He asked that the prisoner might be remanded in order that he might be enabled to bring for ward additional testimony. Mr. Weatherhead asked that the prisoner might be admitted to bail, itging that he was most respectably connected, and that securities to any amount could be obtained. Alderman Lust remanded the prisoner for a week and refused to accept bail. o Field :,off) SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT SELF-STARVATION The Sheffield Independent reports a singular at tempt at self-starvation. Some time ago • man named Watson, with his wife and three children, went to live in Gower-street in that town, and fifteen months since Wat son took his' three children and left his wife in possession of the house. She commenced selling newspapers and periodicala, but a week ago the neighbours noticed that her house remained closed the whole of the day. As she was heard moving about in her bedroom at night, little notice was taken of the occurrence. For several days the same thing was repeated, when neighbours became alarmed, and on Wednesday evening the attention of the police-officer on duty in that neighbourhood was called to the case. He knocked in vain for admittance ; the woman would neither show herself nor open the door, and it began to be feared that either she was dead or too ill to respond to the calls for admission. A ladder was procured, and an officer ascended to the bedroom window, and entered the house—to witness • most shocking and sickening sight. Lying on the bed was the poor woman in the last stage of inanition, the stench in the room being overpowering. On the bed was a small teapot containing cold tea, and • bottle filled with water. By her side, close to her hand, was a small craw The poor woman raised her head, and somewhat petulantly demanded what they wanted there. 6 She wished they would leave her alone ; she was ready to die, and wished to die in peace. Surgeons were sent for, and stimulants administered, and she was ultimately removed to the workhouse. She was sadly emaciated, having evidently been without food for some time; and had a rather wild, vacant look. On her arrival at the work house there was found concealed between the clothes and her body 371. 10.. inguld and two gold watches and chains. On the police-officers entering the house it was found that the furniture of the lower rooms, the front parlour especially was superior to that generally found in houses like those in Gower-street. I%ot seemed to be very remarkable, considering the weak and helpless condition in which the woman was discovered, was the utmost cleanliness everywhere apparent. All the articles in the front room, perhaps, excepting the fireirous, were as clean as possible, and the fireirons, although very rusty from not haring been used for some time, scarcely showed a single spot of dirt. The same attention to cleanliness was observable in the bedroom, for the fur niture was properly arranged, and the bed-clothes on which the woman was lying were perfectly clean ; indeed, almost as clean as if they had only just been put on. In the back kitchen some bread which seemed to have been made shortly before the woman took to her bed, was found in a pan. It showed that she had not taken any solid food for some considerable time, for all the inner portions of the laayer had been consumed by mice, and the crust of each was covered with a kind of blue mould. Here the same attention to cleanliness and order could plainly be seen. Among the many stories afloat with reference to this singular case, the following is among the most authentic :—Watson, the husbend, was for merly in theemploy of Messrs. Dsvy Brothers,machinists and boiler makers, and he parted from his wife about 15 months ago. Since that time he has lived at Leeds, and is still there. There are rumours that the woman was de serted by her husband on the one hand because she had been guilty of ffirtations, and on the other because he had other acquaintances. There seems, however, good reason to believe that both these stories are unfounded. A more probable though curious explanation given by a neighbour who was OD the most friendly terms with the wretched woman is this : her love of cleanliness had become a passion. She could not bear to see about her the slightest appearance of dirt. Her husband's occupation was not sufficiently clean to suit her notions, and among other unreasonable requirements on that score she required him to take off his shoes at the door, and put on slippers. This is but • specimen of her exactions ou the score of cleanliness ; and Watson left for the very extraordinary reason that he found her crotchets on that score intolerable. She was, to use a common expression, a remarkably " nattering" woman, and let no one about her be at peace. Of the three children of the ill-matched couple, the daughter, who has been well educated, is a governess in a respectable family at a distance. The two boys, about the age respectively of twelve and fourteen years, are with their father. Since her husband went away, Mrs. Watson has sold newspapers and periodicals. It would appear that she has several times visited her hus band at Leeds, with a view to a reconciliation, but they had failed to agree. It is necessary to state that he allowed her a maintenance. Until • few weeks ago, Mrs. Watson went about her household duties and mixed among her neighbours as usual, and the reason assigned for her con duct in shutting herself up in her house is consistent with the reason given for her quarrels with her husband. Her landlord (accompanied by his wife) called for the rent some weeks ago, and the weather being wet, he committed the unpardonable crime of entering the house with shoes that were not quite free from dirt. Mrs. Watson was so offended that she ordered land lord and wife out of the house, refusing to pay her rent. He not unnaturally cave her notice to quit, and when she refused to comply with the notice, he gave het further notice that her rent was doubled. She refused to pny what the demands upon her were, and about three weeks ago the bailiffs were sent to her house. They found her cleaning the door step and pushing forward into •the house they seized a handsome sofa and a valuable picture to satisfy the demands of the landlord. From that time sbe never opened her door or front shutters, and never cons muzicated with her neighbours. She once afterwards applied to a neighbour's shop for some small article of necessity. The last time she was seen out was on Thursday (yes terday) week. A neighbour who went suddenly out of her house into the back yard, common to both houses, saw Mrs. Watson there with a pail in her hand. Thn neighbour went up to the disconsolate woman and at tempted to enter into conversation with her. Mrs. Wat son repelled the advances. She immediately re-entered her house by a back window, which she reached by the aid of a stool. She closed the window without saying a word, and from that time was never seen or spoken to by her neigh bours. She is in each a state of exhaustion that her recovery is considered to be exceedingly doubtful. She is supposed to be about forty years of age, and IS described as of superior education for her position in life. THE IRISH CHURCH QUESTION.—The Irish Lord Primate baa addressed his clergy in a charge in which the question of the Irish church is treated at much length. His grace denies the justice of the project to endow the established church in Ireland, with the presbyterian church and the Roman catholic, ous of the funds belonging as pro perty to the first-named. He contends that the incomes of the Irish clergy could not be reduced without injuring the church. He stands upon the Act of Union, by which, according to the minister who represented the crown when it was framed, Irish churchmen were "constituted a pot tion of the religious majority ofithe United Kingdom." He contends that the disturbance of the Irish church would increase the hostility to the British I crown, which it is imagined that it would remove. He must regard the English church's revenues as very preca riously held if the Irish church was to loee hers ; the re gium donum of the Irish presbyterian church would perish with the Irish church endowments. The supposed "griev ance" of the Irish church was, his grace added, a senti mental grievance—practical grievance there was none. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GERMAN GYMNASIUM. —Yesterday Dr; Hardwicke, deputy-coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquiry at the University College Hos pital, on the body of George Thomas Melly, aged 21, who met with his death whilst practising at the German Gym nasium, King's-craw From the evidence of Thomas Jeffrey, a friend of deceased, and Mr. George Ravenstein, the president of the Gymnastic Society, it appeared that deceased, who was au experienced gymnast, was exercis ing on the trapeze or hanging bar. The exercise which he was performing is what is technically called " the cut away." The performer swings backwards and forwards by the hands on the trapeze, and at the end of one of the forward swings throws his legs over the bar, leaves go with his hands, and descends to the floor upon his feet. Deceased, who was perfect in this exercise, determined to vary it, and at the end of one of the backward swings, instead of the forward, threw his feet over the bar, left go with his bands, and fell upon his back. He was picked up in a helpless state, and conveyed to University College Hospital, where he was found to be suffering from con cussion of the spine. All his limbs were paralysed, and he eventually died of exhaustion, the result of paralysis of the respiratory organs, depriving the muscles of the power of action. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. DISGRACEFUL DISCLOSURES AT OXFORD.—Some disgraceful disclosures have been made in Oxford of the practice of sending new-born children to dry nurses, where they die of inanition and debility from being deprived of the natural support of their mothers. A nurse named Chard having applied for certificates and registers of deaths more fre9uently than usual, the case was brought under the notice of Mr. W. Brunner, coroner, and an inquiry was instituted into the death of a female child, committed by ita mother to her care. The inquest was opened on Tuesday, and adjourned for further evidence. The adjourned inquiry was held yesterday, when the registrar of births and deaths stated that his attention had for some time been directed to the mystery surrounding the birth of children in the care of Mrs. Chard, as also to their frequent death and disappearance. It appeared that the deceased was the illegitimate daughter of a respectable person, the father was unknown, and the baby was regis tered in an assumed name in order to conceal its parentage. The coroner's officer described the condition of the house .to be filthy in the extreme, and the children there were so emaciated and dirty as to be scarcely recognisable as htinian beings. The jury /returned a verdict to the effect that dananed was found ins house totally unfit for habita tion ; that it died from debility; that the practice et raedi eaknen reassume rag children to be sent to such a plea was nameable in thehighest degree. FATAL Galt ACCIDENT —A sad occurrence took place at Sbottesbrook, near Maidenhead, on Thursday, ea elderly gamekeeper named Messenger being accidentally killed. It appears that • party of three gentlemen drove over from Beading for a day's shooting, and before com mencing their sport Messenger gave them directions as to the position in which they should carry their guns with the view of preventing an accident. maenad short time, however, the gun of one of the party,Stanborough, by some means went off suddenly, and the contents nn fortunately lodged in the thigh of the gamekeeper.. The gentlemen at once rendered every assistance in their power, and the injured man was placed in a mat for eon s/Isom to the county infirmary . at Reading, bat he ex pired after the lapse of a few minutes. The unfortunate accident occasioned a very painful sensation throughout the neighbourhood, and was partimffarly lamented by these who formed the shooting party. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEP'T'EMBER, 29, X 1866. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Serjeant Dowling, Deputy-Aasistant-Judge.) Mary Ann Rutherford, 29 d es cribed as an ironer, pleaded guilty to stealing a blanket and other articles, value 51., the property of James Barker, in his dwelling house. Mr. Serjeant Dowling inquired if the prisoner was known. Mr. Howe, one of the principal warders of the Wert minster Pri son, proved a catalogue of convictions against her, one being for four years' penal servitude, since which term she had been twice convicted. Mr. Serjeant Dowling said it was useless addressing any observations to the prisoner, and sentenced her to be kept in penal servitude for seven years. Sarah Miller, 27, ump ires. was indicted for riesling • sovereign from the person of Robert Dixon. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. This was an ordinary cue of robbery by a prostitute. The prisoner met the prosecutor, and after having some conversation with him, put her hand into his pocket and stole a sovereign from lum. The jury her G uilty. Mr. Bowling sentenced the prisoner to six months' prisonment with hard labour. Harriet ifouifteltl, 18, a servant, was indicted for steel ing one sheet and other articles, value 11., the property of Richard Smith ; one sheet and other articles, veins 2/., the property of Frederick Pyle • and six shirts and other articles, value 195., the propert y of Charles Arkwell ; and for obtaining by false pretences the said goods, with intent to defraud. This was rather an artful system of robbery, The pro secutors had given the articles to be =weed. and the prisoner had gone to the place, and representing that she came from them, had taken away the things. The prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Serjeant Dowling sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Mary Ann Chapman, 28, • miserable-looking woman, was indicted for maliciously damaging opiate-glass window to the amount of 81., the property of Zebedee Wilcox. Mr. James Morris, manager to a beer-shop, No. 82 , Whitechepood-road, rid that on the 11th init., about c u tor' at night, the prisoner came to the prose cutor's shop and made a disturos. A unstable was sent for, and the prisoner removed ; but about a quarter of an hour afterwards she returned, and with her fin broke a large pane of glum. Witness went outside, and found the prisoner bad out her hand. The prisoner said she did it in a passion, but was very sorry for it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Serpent Dowling sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment, after it had been stated that she had borne an indifferent character. _ - - Charles Jones and Edward Kemp, the latter, who was brought up from Celdbath-fields Prison by habeas corpus, where he has been undergoing • sentence of 12 months' imprisonment for another offence, were indicted for steal ing • carpet-beg, containing several gold rings and articles of jewellery, from the Victoria Station of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, the propery of Mr. Dominick Trant, of No. 20, Upper Brunswick-place, Hisghtoa. Mr. Bosley prosecuted, the prisoner was undefended. The ease was watched by Mr. Impeder Carpenter on behalf of the railway company. The prosecutor was travelling from Victoria to Brighton on the 26th of May last, and when he arrived at the its. tion he deposited the carpet-beg in a porter's truck, and left to get his ticket. When he returned the beg was missing, and he immediately communicated the fact to Mr. Carpenter, of the polies authorities, and, after de scribing the contents of the bag, proceeded . to Brighton by the train. Some time after a sergeant of the Hyde pi.* constables was in the Hanover Arms public house, Bayswater-road, and bought several pawn tickets of the prisoner Jones, and when he redeemed the articles he dis covered a crest upon some of them, and immediately com municated with the police authorities, which led to the detection of the prisoner Jones. It was clearly shown that the other prisoner was a particepe criminis in the affair. The jury found both prisoners Guilty. Mr. Serjeant Dowling sentenced the prisoners to im prisonment with hard labour for 12 months. The sentence upon the prisoner Kemp would of course commence at the expiration of the one he is now undergoing. THE POLICE COURTS. SOUTHWARK. Peter James, a respectable looking man, 70 years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Burcham, charged with embezzling various sums of money belonging to the London Flour Company, Commercial-road, Lambeth. Mr. Hinkling, the managing clerk to Mr. Bhms, for the prosecution, and on opening the case said he only prepared with witnesses in one case ; therefore, after producing them, he should ask for a remand. Mr. Healey, the barrister, who was retained for the pri soner, did not object to a remand, but at the Mlle time he should be able to show that his client had nest commit ted the offence imputed to him. Mr. Edward Conway, cashier to the London Flour Com pany, said the prisoner was one of their travellers and collectors. It was his duty to collect orders and return moneys on behalf of the company, and pay over the latter every evening to witness. The prisoner never accounted for 181. 10a. received from Mr. Staney. Mr. Burcham asked if he had a regular salary ! Witness replied in the negative. He was paid by corn- John Staney, a baker, carrying on business at 198, llackney-read, said he was a customer of the London Flour Company, and on the 18th of July last he paid the prisoner 18/. 10s. for flour received, and he gave the receipt produced. Mr. Hinkling said that was all the evidence he was prepared with that day ; and he now asked for a remand. He, however, did not object to the prisoner being released on bail. Mr. Burch= remanded him until Thursday next, act cept!ng the prisoner's sons as sureties for his appearance on . that da: THE CHOLERA. The following ie the official return of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea registered on Thursday, Sept. 27 : Cholera. Diarrhoea. West districts North districts 2 Central districts East districts 8 South districts 9 Total in London i METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORK& —The first meeting of the board since its adjournment for the vaca tion took place yesterday at the board-room, Spring Gardens. Sir John Thwaites in the chair. The Finance Committee submitted for the approval of the board a statement showing the annual value of the property in the City of London and other parts of the metropolis, esti mated according to the estimate or basis on which the county rate is mewed, or according to a like estimate ; together with the sums to be assessed thereon in re spect of the Metropolis Main Drainage rate of 3d. in the pound, 1860-7, and recommended that the ne cessary precepts be sealed and issued. Mr. Roche said that though he should have to pay his fair proportion of any rating, still he liked to Bee a fair assessment, and he considered that mere assessing of the City of London at 1,400,0001. was most objectionable, for the gross estimate of the rateable value of the City of London Union was 1,767,0001., and surely it was an anomaly to rate a city at 1,400,0001. when one-half of it was worth 1,700,0001. It appeared that they wished to call upon one portion of the city to pay an amount because they did not know the value of the other. Sir John Thwaites said that they must take as their basis the whole area of the City of London, whether in the union or not, and upon that levy them. Mr. Roche only wished that there should be a fair assessment ; but he would move that this recommendation be referred back to the committee for reconsideration. This motion was seconded and agreed to. A report as to the progress made in the Thames Embankment works having been made, and 6011111 other formal business trans acted, the board adjourned. Tae BOLLES. EXPLOSION AT NORWICH.—A sixth death has occurred in connexion with this explosion, John Dunn, another of the wounded men, having succumbed on Thursday to the frightful injuries which he had sustained. It appears that Mr. E. S. Bignold, coroner for Norwich, who commenced an inquest yesterday upon the body of Dunn, was introduced on Thursday to Dr. lankester, coroner for Middlesex, and after conversing with that gentleman he reported the circumstances of the explosion to the Board of Trade. Mr. Bignold found, however, that except in the cue of boiler exploaions on railways, the Board of Trade took no action. It was suggested that he should make a report to the Home-office, but he received there a somewhat similar rep to that given at the Board of Trade. Under these circumstances Mr. Bignold yesterday decided that an investigation of the exploded boiler should be made by Mr. Morant, town surveyor of Norwich, and that that gentleman should be empowered to consult Mr. Fletcher, of the Manchester Steam Boiler Association. Yester day morning the two other injured men remaining at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital— Payne and Rump—were somewhat better. The boiler which exploded was made by Mr. Cafferala, of Newark-on- Trent. The damage done by the explosion is now estimated at between 1,500/. and 2,0001. The stock and buildings were insured against fire in the Norwich Union, Royal, and County Offices ; but as no provision Irma ade for accidents by explosion, the loss will not be met by inanr -11108. On Thursday evening the directors of the Lilles lual Iron and (loaf Company entertained a distinguished company to dinner in celebration of the late discovery of a rich coalfield on their estates at Prior's:Los. The banquet was held in a pavilion erected on an embankment at the mouth of the coal pit, atd among the guests were Earl Granville (who wended), Ithe Hon. P. Leveson Gowan, M.P., E. Jasper More, M.P., and a large number of the leading gentry of the locality. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
