On the 23rd ult. the Bing of Hanover addressed a protest to the cabinets of Europe against the annexation of Hanover by Prussia. In this document his Majesty appeals to all the powers for aid against the oppression of right by might, and states that he will never renounce his sovereign rights over his dominions. He further declares all present and future acts of the Prussian government or its agents in Hanover to be illegal, null, and void, and warns of this fact all those whom it may concern. His Majesty adds that he awaits the course of events with full confidence in the justice of his cause and concludes his protest as follows :—" I am a nimated by the firm hope that Divine Pro vidence will not fail in putting an end to the intrigues, the dishonesty, and the violence of which at this moment so many states and peoples, in con. junction with Hanover, have been made the victims." FIUNCB. PARIS, Oar. 2. The Marquis de Moulder has arrived here. It is stated that Lord Lyons has been appointed British Ambassador at Paris. The Frantz states that the Emperor and Empress will proceed on the 10th inst. to Pamplona, and will leave Biarritz on the 12th for St. Cloud. The Patric states that the post of representative of France at the Italian court is about to be raised to the rank of embassy. AUSTRIA AND ROME. VIENNA, Oct. 2. Baron Hubner will shortly return to Rome, to resume his functions as ambassador in that city. The prolonged residence of Mgr. Nardi at Vienna is said to be connected with negotiations relative to the attitude which Austria will assume on the fulfilment of the September convention. It is believed that Austria will maintain the greatest reserve in the Roman question. THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, Oor. 2. The Offirial Gazette of to-day points out that some articles recently published in the Italian semi-official journals, and the language held by Garibaldi at Florence are not in accordance with the official declarations of the Italian government, to the effect that the integrity of the present Papal territory is guaranteed to the Pope by the Septem ber convention. The Official Gazette denies the assertion made by Garibaldi, that the young Romans who joined the Italian volunteers are pre vented by the Papal government from returning to their homes, and adds that, on the contrary, many have already arrived in Rome, no impedi ments having been thrown in their way by the Papal government.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ANOTHER DUEL! (nom ous ows oosaserosinarr.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. Thebloody-minded editors of the LiberMhave had their will. They have established a new precedent for their doctrine that quarrels between journalists must be settled by the &cello. They deliberately hold, separately and collectively, that if any journalist chooses to consider himself in sulted by anything written by another journalist he is entitled by the French code of honour to insist upon a meeting, and that if the meeting be refused, whether because the challenged party objects to duelling in general, or whether, as in this case, he denies that he ever intended to insult the challenger, it is gentle manly conduct to go on insulting and provoking the recalcitrant until they goad him into the field. Their uitima ratio comes to this we want to fight you, you must fight some or one of • or else chi will say, you are a coward and afraid to fight. Sot only so, but we will consult together slay and night to age how we can provoke you. If you are not satisfied that there is a good casts. UM at present, we, a set of us, and we are not stupid people, will exercise all our ingenuity to make one. We will revile you more and more every day. We will say and do everything which we think most disagreeable to you. We will publish in our newspaper that we have insulted yon, and that you have tamely submitted to insult, and if necesaary,wo will spit in your face. M. Sarcey, of the Opinion Nationale, had not the firmness to bear up against this system practised against his life by the editors of the Liberti. The duel with M. Pessard, who was drawn by lot to fight on behalf of the Liberte, having been bloodless, in consequence of a quarrel between the seconds, M. Clement Duvernois (a man whose great talent makes one regret the part he playa in this sad affair) found means to insult M. Sarcey sufficient to make him take the field. A meeting took place this morning, and M. Sarcey seems to have been badly wounded. All that the public knows about the affair is contained in the follow ing memorandum sent by the seconds to the even ing papers : A hostile meeting took place today between MM. Francisque Sarcey and Clement Duvernois. M. Sarcey having received a sword thrust in the region of the right eye, blood flowed copiously, and covered his faro to such an extent as to prevent him from seeing. The combat necessarily came to an end, and in the opinion of the seconds it terminated to the honour of both parties. ARTHUR DE FONTIELLE, CHAELEN EDMOND, ALEXANDRE DE GIRARDIN, G. DE SAINT-VALRT. Paris, Oct. 2, 1466. "To the honour of both parties !" And yet M. Sarcey does not retract his opinion that the Liberte is badly edited, and the public will certainly not incline the less to his opinion because M. Clement Duvernois, ono of the principal editors, has nearly poked his eye out ! Tho Bourse was decidedly heavy. A rumour was circulated, fur which there is not the least known foundation, that President Johnson had been assassinated. Rento fell 15c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 69fr. 25c. and 69fr. 17/Ic. Italian fell 20c., and Credit 31obilier and Credit Foncier 3fr. 75c. each. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCEaS DAGL4.II IN RUSSIA. (FIIO3I ova SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) ST. PETERSBURG, Sem. 213. If, in addition to considerations of policy and motives of true affection, any augury were wanted to predict the future of the union between Russia and Denmark which this day ushers in, a cloud less sky and a brilliant sun afford it. Even the trees, which this time last year were winter stricken and leafless, have retained their foliage to welcome the bride of the Cesarewitch of Russia. Romance apart, the season is quite exceptional ; the equinoctial gales have forgotten to blow, and rude Boreas has given no sign of his approach ; the sun is warm enough to bring back even the chilly swallows, while the moon and stars shone out last night with a brilliancy and effect quite arctic. lam bound to report the extra ordinary state of the weather, because it cannot fail to be hereafter associated with the arrival of the Princess Dagmar on Russian soil. The beau tiful days of September and the landing of the future Empress of Russia are not likely to be soon forgotten by a people who are just eastern enough to believe in omens. Early this morning the classes whose circum stances permitted it began to travel towards two points--Peterhoff and Czarskoe Selo, fur the bride is not to see the capital until she makes her state entry on Saturday or Sunday next. Your corre spondent, being eager to catch the first glimpse of her, proceeded to the marine residence of Peterhoff, where he was fortunate enough to secure a favour• able position for viewing the entire proceedings. I must premise that the Emperor, accompanied by the heir apparent and the Grand Duke Con stantine, went out from Cronstadt last night and met the Sleawig and the convoying squadron at about two in the morning. The Empress, it had been announced in the programme, was to have received the Princess at the pier at Peterhoff, but the weather was so superb that her Majesty altered that part of the plan, and proceeded to Cronstadt in her yacht. At about half-past ten the booming of guns told us that the Russo-Danish squadron had cast anchor in Cronstadt roads, and an hour and a half later a salvo of artillery fired in the grounds of Peterhoff announced the arrival of the Alexandrie with the imperial party. The pier of Peterhoff was tastefully decorated with flags, amongst which, it is needless to say, the cross of the Dannebrog was conspicuous, and the cheering was both hearty and enthusiastic. Ladies were there in immense numbers, to manifest their welcome and indulge their curiosity. There was no ceremonial on landing at Peterhoff ; the authorities of the town were certainly there, but the patriarchal bread and salt had been already presented by the good citizens of Cronstadt. The eagerness with which the crowd rushed forward to see her royal highness and their loud demonstra tions of joy proved the great sympathy which is felt for her. Indeed the Princess comes to Russia m the bride of two Czesarewitches, commended as much by her past sorrows as by her present happi ness. Her title to love, respect, and admiration could not have been stronger. With respect to the dress which the Princess wore, all I am able to say is that she was attired in white, as became a bride, and that her headdress consisted of a round hat trimmed with blue velvet. Her THE SATURDAY HALYHOLIDAY MOVEMENT. A numerously attended meeting was held last night at St. James's-hall, under the auspices of the Satur day Half-holiday Committee, for the purpose of publicly thanking the employers who have recently adopted the Saturday half-holiday, as well as reporting upon the pre sent position of the movement, and promoting its further eltennon. Mr. M. Bowen ( S hoolbred and Co., Totten ham-court-road) presided, and in opening the proceeding said he would not occupy the present position in which he had been plaoed if he did not believe that the interests of employer and employed in the movement were identical. From the experience of the past three months they found that the same busi ness could be done up to 2 o'clock on Saturday as was done twenty years ago up to 9 o'clock in the evening, and when such was the case it was to be hoped that the employers would make a concession which was so much needed and desired. On the 13th of July forty-two bonus closed at 2 o'clock on Saturday, and since that time the number had increased to eighty-four. In Islington, some of the homes which had transacted business up to 9 o'clock on Saturday evenings had begun to dose at 5 o'dock and tha shops in the Burlington-arcade now closed at 4 o'clock, instead of a much later hour. Mr. Larkin (Messrs . Hitchcock, Williams, sad Co.) moved the first resolution, as follows :—" That the sincere thanks of this meeting be o ff ered to those emp lo ers, who, by closing their establishments at two o'clock on SatuNa have conferred the benefits of the Saturday half dualitCY upon a large number of persons in various trades, and hate led to an abridgement in the hours of busbuire on Saturday night in the late shopping distrr e t ar g the mettipai... *faun el his he expressed the hope that the employers of the metro polis would further their own interests by oeuntenanchee the movement. He said the young men to whom a haallf holiday was given on Saturday entertained grateful fee lin g s towards the irjemployers for the much-needed boon, and in the end those employers, instead of losing by the concession, gained by it. Mr. Ferry (Messrs. Goode, Gainsford, and Co.) who seconded the reso lution, entered his prote st against protracted and continuous labour. He said the trade assistants in their effort to gain the Saturday half-holiday did not want to do less work than they did at present, but they wished to do the same amount of work in a shorter space of time—(cheers)--and they . wanted to he enabled to de vote the Sabbath to its legitimate use. (Renewed cheer ing.) The resolution was then put sod carried amid ac clamation. Mr. St. Clair (Messrs. Marshall and Snellgrove) proposed the next resolution :—" That this meet ing presents its sincere thanks to her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland, whose generous exer tions, with those of the Countess Dude and Lady Elcho, have secured the co-operation of a large number of the ladies of tho metropolis for the support and extension of the Saturday half-holiday." He said it was insinuated by some persons that the majority of the trade assistants did not sympathise with the movement, and by others that the assistants wished to force the employers into submission. He wished to repudiate both of these insinuations, and to assure the employers that no such sentiments were held by the assistants. Mr. Hyde seconded the resolution, and it was carried with enthusiasm. Mr. Hamer (Messrs. Dewar, Son, and Sens) proposed the third resolution :—" That this meeting respectfully solicits the public to support the Saturday half-holiday movement by not shopping after 2 o'clock on Saturdays, and thus to pro mote the abridgement of the late hours which still prevail on Saturday evenings in various parts of the metropolie." Mr. Bryant (Messrs. Debenham and Freebody) seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The Chairman acknowledged the receipt of numerous subscrip tions given in support of the movement, and said that as Leet. was required to carry out the programme adopted by the committee on a recent occasion, lie anxiously hoped that increased aid would he afforded. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The anniversary of the Portsea Beneficial Society was held on Monday night, and amongst the invited guests who were present were—Mr. W. IL Stone, M.P. for Ports mouth ; J. B o nham-Carter, M.P. for "f inehester; and Sir Jervoise Clarke Jervoise, Bart., M.l'. for South Hants.

Our readers are aware that the constitution of this commission has recently un dergone a very important change, under a resolution of the Court of Common Council, and the members of the new body appear to be bestiring themselves very actively to carry out the important objects entrusted to them. At the meeting yesterday various standing orders wereadopted having reference to the appointment of different com mittees for sanitary and other objects. Among the newly appointed committees is one called the streets committee, whose duty it will be to attend to all questions relating to pavements, projections, cleansing, removal of dust and ashes, water supply, sewage, And lighting. Another important committee, to be called the sanitary com mittee, will also be appointed, whose duty, as its name implies, will be to attend exclusively to all sanitary matters, and everything else relating to the public health. In addition to this a finance and im proveuleut committee will be appointed, to when all ques tions relating to the finances of the commission, such as the rating, parliamentary, and improvement matters will be exclusively . submitted, subject of course to the control of the commission. Mr. Elie' Davis, after these matters had been disposed of, took occasion to refer to a statement that he had made at a previous court with regard to the improper removal of several dead bodies of persons who had died of cholera front Three Kings-court, Minories, and said that from inquiries he had since made be had reason to believe that the alleged facts were very much exaggerated, if not entirely without foundation, and he considered it his duty to make this public statement upon the subject. Dr. Letheby, the medical officer, reported that during the week 1,1281ba. of meat had been seized at the different markets that was unfit for human food. lie also reported that Thomas Norris, a butcher, carrying on business at William street, Lisaon-grove, William Hunt, a fanner at Barking, and Henry Cole, a farmer at West ILaningfield, Essex, had been summoned before the City magistrates by the in spectors, and fined in amounts varying from :ilia. to 10/. for sending unwholesome meat to market ; and William Plummer, a butcher at Leicester, was fined 10f. for a similar offence. With regard to the sanitary condition of the City, it appears by Dr. Letheby 's report that it is remarkably satisfactory, the number of deaths being only 31 during the week against an average of 44 during the last ten years, and out of this reduced number a great many of the deaths were of children and aged persons. THE RINDERPEST IN NORFOLK. —During the past month only one case of ca ttle plague was recorded in Norfolk. The following ludicrous, but at the same tune satisfactory report has been forwarded to the Privy Council office by one locel inspector :—" Sir beg beg to report that we have no more cattle p!ague or rinderpest in my beat. Our lottal committee met on Tuesday, at the clerk's office, and agreed to discontinue the inspectors; there are several who have sent in their resignations. There never was such a disease as rinderpest among sheep. There are very few beasts to have it in my neighbourhood. I shall not have to troulge you with any more of these returns, thank God, as I mean to cut it." RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR BISHOP AUCKLAND. — An accident of a serious character took place on the new railway bridge at Newton Cap, near Bishop Auckland. on Monday. About half-past 12 o'clock, an engine, No. 187, with a long train of 82 empty coal waggons, left Bishop Auckland station, and was proceeding along the Auckland branch of the North Eastern Railway towards Willington, but had scarcely got half way across the large viaduct at Newton Cap, about a quarter of a mile from the station, when the wheel of one of the waggons in the middle of the train broke. This had the effect of throw ing a number of the waggons immediately following off the line, the one being piled on the top of the other in a com plete pyramid, until they fell over on both sides of the bridge, shattering the bridge coping on either side for a distance of nearly twenty yards, and precipitating the parapet of the bridge for some distance intoth thediatance bed of the of the river, where, from the great weight and e fall (120 feet), they were completely buried in the ground. Several of the waggons were resting on the para the pet of the bridge, and narrowly escaped being precipitated into river below. Thirteen of the wad ons were literally smashed to pieces, and both the up and down lines were completely blocked up and strewn over with waggon wheels, broken a:lenses, and loose splintered timber, the remains of the waggons. leas than half a dozen engines were to be seen on the spot shortly after the accident, some lending their assistance in clearing the line, which was only accomplished in about two hours, after coneider able difficulty, and with a strong body of men, daring which time the traffic on the line was en clock trsin, which tirely stopped. The passengers by the 1 o' arrived in due time, bad to get out at the other side of the bridge and walk to the town, the officials carrying the luggage. A collision with another train, engine No. 509, which was coming in the opposite direction, was very narrowly esca ped. The driver only succeeded in stopping accident. the train w hen within a few yards of the scene of the Fortunately, however, no lives were sacrificed or anyone injured, and the total wreck of the thirteen waggons and the injury to the bridge (which is somewhat ooneiderable) is all the damage that has been sustained. The bridge on which the accident occurred spans the River Wear at Newton Ca , about a quarter of a mile from A.uckland.— Newest* royal highness appeared the very picture of health, and every one was struck by the peculiar charm of her expression, and by the simple grace with which she returned the salutations of the people. Imme diately .on leaving the steamer the Emperor mounted his horse, which was the signal for the , procession to form in the following order : 1. Police-muter, followed by six mounted guns d'Alene. 2. H.I.M. Circassian body guard, forming a most bril liant escort, among whom the mall-clad Lesghians shone out in great rflendour. 3. H.I.M. the Emperor, H.LH. the Ctesarevitch, HILL the Crown Prince of Denmark, the Grand Dukes Vladimir and Alexis (sons of the Emperor), and the Grand Duke Nicholas, on horseback, met the carriage of her Im. period Majesty and H.R.H. the Princess Dagmar. 4. H.I.M. the Empress, the Prince's, and the Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, in a four•seated state car riage. On the right side of the carriage the Master of the Horse, on the left (next the hind wheels) the officer com manding the Circusian body guard. 5. The Emperor and Grand Dukes, followed by the Minister of the Imperial Household (Count Adlerberg), by the skies-de-camp to the Emperor, and the military suite of her royal highnesa. 6. The Maid of Honour in Waiting to HIM., the Governess of the Princess Marie, the Ladies of the Danish Court, the Danish Minister and his Secretary, and other courtly personages, Russian and Danish, all in four-seated state carriages. 7. More of the Circassian body guard. The procession scarcely took half an hour to ar rive at the Empress's villa of "Alexandra," where luncheon was served. It is needless to say, the cheering all along the route was tremendous, and although Peterhoff boasts but a small population of its own, especially at this advanced season, the spacious avenues leading to the palace were crowded to overflowing by all sorts and conditions of men and women. But soon travelling carriages drove up before the door of the villa, and amidst most affectionate demonstrations on the part of the crowd, which had stood watching for upwards of two hours, the Emperor and Empress, the Princess Dag mar, and all the imperial and royal per sonages, took their seats, and were whirled off to Czarsko6 &I° with a. rapidity given only to I Russian horses. A charming little palace has been placed at the disposal of the Princess and her suite at Czarskoe, and it has the advantage of bearing the name of her future hesband. There the bride will hold her court until the day of her marriage, which will be some time in November, but not later than the 25th, for a lone fast of the Greek church com mences on that day. 1 ought to have stated before that the Princess is attended by General Oxman, formerly Danish minister at the court of St. James's, and by Madame do Bille, a relation probably of the minister of that name, so well known in England. The suite consists of about ten persons. But prior to her marriage the Princess has two very important ceremonies to go through. First, she will have to be anointed with the holy chrism of the Russo-Greek church ; and secondly, she will have to be solemnly betrothed. Ido not reckon i • the state entry into the capital, for that will be nothing more than a pageant, in which the emotions will have but little part. The conversion will, how 1, ever, be a most trying ceremony, and it will be as trying to the Princess as it will be for her brother and friends to witness it. According to custom she will adopt a Russian patronymic. It is sup posed that her name will be " Maria Foode rovna," or Mary the daughter of Theodore, the latter being, I believe, one of her father's names. The name selected for tho Prin cess recals the memory of an Empress who was very much beloved for her beucvolenco—the consort of the Emperor Paul. Strange also to say that the Cesare witch bears a striking resemblance to his great-grandfather. The Princess will be re ceived into the pale of the Russian church at St. Petersburg on Wednesday or Thursday next, pro vided she will be sufficiently rested front the fatigue of her entry into St. Petersburg on Saturday or Sunday. Great preparations are being made for the latter ceremonial. The city will be illuminated far more brilliantly than on any other previous occa sion. To-night there is a partial illumination at St. Petersburg, and Peterhoff and Czarskoe are also lit up. To-morrow the beautiful grounds of Czarskoe will be one mass of red, blue, and green light. _ _ ' - - Tess ROYAL FAMILY AT BALMORAL. —CPH Sun• day her Majesty the Queen, their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and Princess Louise, accompanied by Lady Ely, I La.ly-in-Wifiting, attended Diviae service in the church of , Cnithie.

John M'Leod, minister of Dunse, preached an excellent sermon from (;:a. vi., 2 and s—" Bear ye one another' s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For every man shall bear his own burden." The church was well filled, but not crowded. On Wednesday last her Majesty, who was accompanied by Prince Christian and the Princess Helena. drove. re/ Braemar. to the Linn of Dee. At the Invereatid Arms Hotel a brief stay was made while the horses were changed. The rerun ti,ih in front of the hotel was crowded with a large and respectable assembly, principally consisting of visitors and tourists anxious to catch a glimpse of royalty, whose respectful and silent greetings were cordially acknowledged by her Blajesty with repeated bows and smiles. Her Majesty appeared to be in excellent health and spirits. on Thursday her Majesty, and party from Balmoral, drove through Braemar and along the green winding vale of Cluny to R a nd airnwell Hill. On arriving here, a staff of gillies ponies from the castle were in waiting, and the party having mounted, rode along the Alpine mountain tlanks to visit some of the picturesque and grand , lake scenery that abounds in the romantic and solitary wilds beyond the liaddoch Glen. The royal sojourners re turned ,igain rid Braemar to the Highland palace in the evening. Horses were changed, both in going and return ing, at the Invercauld Arms. Fortunately the day was warm, sunshiny, and breezy, which tended much to pro mote the pleasure and enjoyment of the royal excursionists in their mountain tour. On Friday last the youthful Prince Leopold and suite drove rid Now Mar Lodge to the beautiful Falls of the Quoich, returning rid lnvercauld House in the evening to Balmoral. The Queen was to I leave Balmoral on Monday on a visit to the Duchess towager of Athole, and is not expected to return until Thursday. —Edinburgh Courant. THE ROYAL VISIT TO DENROBIN.-011 Saturday, the weather, which had during the week been very fine, broke and rain fell heavily from 1 o'clock in the morning till the afternoon. When the rain ceased, their Royal i Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, together with the other guests and their noble entertainers, made& pedes trian excursion to Golapie, visiting several of the shops, and nicking several purchases. At a late hour in the afternoon, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, accompanied by the Earl and Countess Grosvenor and the Hon. Lady Bigot, drove through the village on their way to Stack Lodge, the shooting quarters of his lordship. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales attended Divine service at the pariah church of Donnie& on Sunday, when the Rev. Dr. Cumming preached. We have information from the Tulchan, Glenisla, that owing to an engagement to meet his Majesty the King of Den , mark shortly after the return of his royal highness from Dunrobin, the Prince of Wales cannot go to the Tolchan I this season. As this is the last year of Lord Londe'- ) borough's possession of that shooting, no royal visit to that place is now expected. The Prince and Princess of I Wales, however, are to pay an early visit to Lord Londe.- borough at Grimstone.—Scotarnaix THE PRINCE CONSORT MEMORIAL IN GLASGOW.

PROFESSOR FAWCETT OR PARTNERSJIIPS OP INDUSTRY. • --•-- _ Lest night in the Leeds Town Hall the share holders workmen, and friends of Henry Brigp and Ca' =punted), colliery owners, met to celebrate the sea completkm of the fi rst year's working under the partnership of industry principle. The hall was crowded. llr. H. Buoys, the moor partner presided. The speakers inclnded Mr. Thomas Hughes: M.P., and Pro lessor Fawcett, X.P. kir. EUGHIIB, having spoken on the genera mind* of co-operation, Professor FAWCIfT said that such partnerships as those of Messrs. Briggs and their men was a sure remedy for strikes, and he felt that the future welfare of England almost altogether depended on the extension of this scheme to other brenehes of trade. An allusion had been made to the working classes possessing more power in the constitution, and he perfectly sympathised with it, and preyed for en extension of the franchise. When they obtained more political power many other people would cope forward - and claim to be friends of the working classes; but when they had (eight end won the battle of reform there would be another battle std to be fought, and some who were now political radicals would have to fight against economic tortes. If they wanted a test whether large employers of labour were what they called themselves, friends of the working classes they should not be satisfied simply with the assertion o imolt employers that they were favourable to an extended franchise, but should also ask them whether they were prepaid* , follow the, axis* 1111000rall•kea."4" THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT NORWICH. Yesterday Mr. E. S. Bignold, coroner for Nor wich, proceeded with the inquest on the bodies of James Leamon, 53 ; Henry Brown, 53 ; John Dunn 42 ; Henry Clarke, 58 ; James Breeze, 6 3 ; Daniel Taylor, 61; and John Rump, 30, the seven men killed by the late explosion at the works of Messrs. Stark and Co. Mr. J. C. Cope- MID, solicitor, appeared for Messrs. Stark, and tendered for examination Mr. M. J. Stark ; Mr. Bramwell, C.E. (brother of Mr. Baron Bramwell) ; and Mr. W. Msy, C.E. Mr. lAvington E. Fletcher, chief engineer of the Man chester Association for the Prevention of Steam-boiler Explosions, was also present. It appeared from the evi dence that leaks had been observed in the boiler before the explosion ; and Nelson, a man employed by Messrs. Riches and Watts, engineers and ma chinists, of Norwich, tasted that he went to caulk the seams en the Sunday immediately preceding the accident. There was a leak on the left-hand aide which be could not get at on account of the brickwork ; this was the leak at which the boiler was afterwards rent. The witness did not consider that there was any danger of an explosion from what he sew, and on a fernier occasion he had tested the boiler to the extent of a little above 10011:e. Mr. M. J. Stark said he sew the premises on the morning of the explosion, and he left them about 20 minutes before it took place ; the boiler was then working at between 4311,5. and 4511 A. ; when the men came beck it would then require to be at 751 be., to 801bs. The boiler bad been in use since April ; he purchased it of Messrs. Riches and Watts, and the contract specified that it should carry a pressure of 100 lbs. The boiler was made by Mr. Catferate, of Newark. His (Mr. Stark's) histnictions were that it was to be of the best material, and capable of working at a pressure of 1001ba. with perfect safety. Be fore the explosion took place, the water gauges were half fall, and the steam gauge was between Clbs. and 45Ibs. On the morning of the explosion, he observed a damp place on the left-hand side of the boiler ; Mr. Watts came and knelt down, but he could hear nothing. Ile propeeed, however, that when the works stopped on the Saturday night, the place should be looked to. Mr. L. E. Fletcher, who was next examined, stated that the boiler was one of the Coreish type, being internally fired, end having a single furnace tube running throughout from end to end. It appeared to have been fitted with only a single safety valve 4in. in diameter, loaded with a lever and a weight. There were also other fittings, which need scarcely be referred to. The boiler burst in the external shell, at a longitudinal seam of rivets situated on the left-hand side of the shell, and in the third belt of plates from the firing end. The cause of this was not deficiency of water ; the furnace crown was uninjured, while the plates must have been bulged or put out of shape had they been overheated from shortness of water. The explosion must have been due either to excessive pressure of steam or defects in the making of the boiler, either from bad workmanship or bad material. From the make, be should scarcely feel justified in pronouncing positively as to which of these causes the explosion was due, and he thought it desirable to have more evidence as to the manufacture of the boiler, and a further opportunity of testing the quality of the plates, which cert ain ly appeared to be brittle. lie was desirous, however, not to condemn them prenutturely Had the shell of the boiler been well made, it would not have exploded at the pressure of 1001ba., at which it was reported to have been worked, the seams throughout being double riveted. The explosion was a peculiar one ; he had never met with a precisely similar case. A new boiler of first-rate quality should not have required such frequent caulkings as appeared to have been made in this case. The inquiry was then adjourned, to be resumed, however, later in the day. A SUSIMONS FOR MR. DOULTON. —A correspon dent writes to a contemporary :—" Sir,—ln common with most of the electors of this borough who voted for Mr. Poulton at the last election, I have been waiting for him to announce a clay when he will give some account of his conduct during the last session. It has for some years put been usual for the sitting members to do so; but I fear from the omission this ye:or , th at Mr. Poulton feels tumble to give soy explanation that would be accepted as satisfactory to a liberal constituency. His silence, there fore, must be construed into a condemnation, and a wise determination on his part not to present himself again for election as a liberal member for Lambeth or elsewhere. I shall be glad to bear, however, he has something to say iu self-defence. and that he will not shrink from defending his vote on the reform question.—l am, Ix., A RADICAL VOTER. —Lambeth, Oct. 2."

SLIOrKI NO DEATH. —A farm labourer, named John Collings, employed on a farm near Newport, Mon mouthshire, has met with a horrible death, caused by an attack of a toar pig. It appears that the hoar was with a sow in the fold yard of Park Farm. in the occupation of Hr. Simeon Soard, and Collings,. having occasion to go there, began teasing the animal Anita it got into a rage; he continued his foolish conduct, when the bo a r sprg at him and bit him most savagely about the upper part of both thighs. The wife of the bailiff, who was in the dairy, hearing Collings cry out, " Oh, God ! oh, God !" as in s-reat agony, ran out, and saw him rushing from the fold, followed by the boar, who tore up the ground with pas sion. She describes the blood gushing forth form Col lings in a stream as thick as one of her fingers. The un fortunate man suoceeded in reaching the passage of the farm-house when he fell down from loss of blood, and in a few minus expired. He was fearfully mangled on both thighs just below the groin, the flesh being torn away to the bone, and the femoral artery was divided. At the inquest hell on the body the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
