EXPLOSION OF TWO POWDER MILLS.-(THIS DAY.) SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED AND WOUNDED. IMMENSE LOSS OF PROPERTY. At a quarter to seven this (Saturday) morning, the two powder mills of Messrs. Hall and Sons, at Low-wood, Belvedere, exploded with consi derable loss of life and immense damage to property; within a radius of seven miles. At the time named three suocessive explosions occurred, completely demolishing the two mills and three houses near. The bricks and machinery were thrown a distance of a mile, whilst portions of build ings iu Erith, Beadenfield, and Belvedere were shaken down, and there is scarcely a sound pane of glass to be found within a radius of four miles. At Plumatead and Woolwich shop windows were shaken out and the goods thrown into the street. At these places the scene was in describable. Those in the streets were shaken, staggered, and aeveralfell, whilst those in bed were thrown almost out of bed. After the first impulse that an earthquake bad taken place had subsided, it became current that a terrific explosion had occurred in the arsenal, where 4,000 people were at work. The people employed there on feeling the shock became uncontrollable and rushed out in the air, whilst thousands from the town besieged the arsenal gates, women and children shrieking in expectation of relatives killed, the excitement being only increased by several men being brought out bleeding, who had been hurt by broken glass, &c. In about ten minutes after the shock the excitement was allayed by the invoices and other papers of Hall and Sons dropping in the Arsenal, showing that the explosion was neither in the Arsenal nor at the government powder magazine, Plnmstead Marshes. A large detachment of Arsenal and the town police were at once despatched to Messrs. Hall's powder mills, and on arriving and render ing assistance found 19 killed, missing, and wounded. Twelve wounded were conveyed by train to Guy's Hospital, where it is feared several will die. The dead, including Mr. Rayner, the foreman, Thomas Hubbard, in the employ of Mr. Carey, contractor, Elisabeth Wright, a young woman, daughterof a man employed on the premises, and others were conveyed home. Four men and a boy in two powder barges alongside the mills iu the river Thames are missing, the barges and the occupants disappearing with the explosion, being undoubtedly sunk. It is also feared several others are buried in the debris. Two human legs and portion of a skull were picked up at distances varying from 100 to 400 yards, and for which no owners are found. Amongst those more seriously injured are the daughter of Mr. Walter Silver, the manager, whose house is blown down Mrs. York and two children, and a girl named Elizabeth Osborn, daughter of • man employed and living on the premises, whose cottage was also blown down. Mrs. Rayner and son (wife and son of the foreman killed) are also in a preca rious position. The southern outfall works at Cross- Less Point had a narrow escape of being blown down, and are somewhat injured. On belying of the catastrophe, Mr. Webster sent his men to the assistance of the wounded. The damage by the explosion, including the demolition of the Low wood powder mills and premises and mills adjacent, is not less than 200,0001., and it is doubted whether a million will cover the total damage, including the thousands upon thousands of squares of glass de stroyed in Erith, Belvedere, Plumstead, Woolwich, Charlton, Eltham, Shooter's-hill, Blackheath, &c The damage by broken windows, &c., in the Royal Arsenal, Dockyard, Artillery, and Marine Barracks, and other government establish ments is very large. The South Eastern Railway Company have also experienced loss by damage done to their stations on the North Kent line. It is computed that 30,000 barrels of gun powder exploded. The smoke did not subside for half an hour. The embankment of the River Thames was blown down, and the most frantic and Arenuous exertions are being made to re pair it before high water. If it cannot be made sufficiently strong in time, the river will overflow its batiks into Erith and adjoining villages. The shock was perceptibly felt all through the metropolis and suburbs. The shutters of several shops in the Lower-street, Islington, were thrown down, and glass was broken in the windows of a chapel in the same locality. At Walworth and Highgate the shock was equally great. The first impression, natural enough, under the circum stances, was that everb od y was tumbling out of bed, while many looked out of the windows to see if any hurricane was blowing, or any " wild hunt of Pickford's vans was passing the house. Windows and doors were shattered in the dis tricts of the Rosemary Branch, at Peckham ; the glasses at the Waterloo Arms Tavern,George-street, Camberwell, were sent dancing about the tables ; and chairs in the Father Red Cap, at Camberwell park, were forced round the large club room ; the inmates of the Anchor and Hope, in Southamp ton-street, were terribly frightened, it being appre hended that the building was falling. The houses in Camberwell-grove, on each aide of the road, were all shaken, and abutters forced down ; the same effects were experienoed at Stoke Newington, six miles further northwards. Most of the houses from Blackheath to Dartford are more or less injured. Tu give anything like an idea of the shattered state ~f the whole district in the neighbourhood of the scene of the catastrophe, would be a matter of impossibility. In one direction windows are blown in, and walls are levelled ; a cart in which some men and women were pro ceeding to market was forced in two, the horse killed, and strange to say, although the occupants were pitched head foremost out of the vehicle, only one was seriously hurt. The trees for miles round have not escaped many having been lifted out of the ground as if they had been mere reeds. Such a terrible sight as the whole of the districts present has not been seen during the present century—not even when the gun cotton factory exploded some years ago, when so many lires were sacrificed. With all possible despatch, litters with beds upon them were made up, and the poor wounded crea tures were forwarded by train to town. The first train brought four to town ; a second batch of five arrived at Guy's Hospital about 10 o'clock. Of the latter number there were four io a whole family, the parents and two children. The father is stated to have expired shortly after he reached Guy's, and one of the little girls also died. The South Eastern Railway Company behaved with the greatest promptitude in the matter, and Mr. Knight, the superintendent, proceeded to Belvedere with a special train to bring up the sufferers. As we write, poor wounded creatures are arriving at the hospital. FURTHER PARTICULARS. ERIT 12 decoct. lip to this ti me it i s i mposs ible H, to give the actual number of those whose lives have been sacrificed. Of the five men who were at work in the two barges in front of the magazine only one has been found—his dead body being discovered lying on the banks of the Thames. Very small fragments of the barges only hare been picked up, and it is feared that the nussing men are at the bottom. Silver's escape was must remarkable ; the moment he heard the report he rushed for the door to effect a retreat, but before he could do so his Louse gave way, and small portions of the building struck him in their descent. He has been present on two occasions similar to this. One poor fellow who was employed in a lime barge close by was discovered dead in the ve , iel from, it is supposed, the effects of the shock. The nephew of Rayner, the deceased, works at the W. , olwich Arsenal, and it is singular that when the shod RSA felt there he turned to his fellow workmen and exclaimed, "If that should be my uncle's placer' Large bodies of the several military ts, stationed at Woolwich, have been sent to the scene of the explosion to make good the Thames em bankment. A poor fellow, working at the THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY , EVENING, OCTOBXII 1, 1864. plough in a neighbouring field, statel that the explosion knocked him into A ditch, and where his horses went to he could not say. Just as we were leaving a skull and a foot were picked up in the road about half a mile from the mills. The railway station at Erith has sustained much damage. Leaves of !h~ ledgers and other papeiw, the property of Hall and Son, were blown miles distant; and a gentleman from Woolwich informed us that in the yard of the Marine Barracks was found an order instructing the firm just mentioned to supply " cwt. of powder, to be ou board ship by Wed nesd ay next."

Owing partly to the continuous influx of gold to the Bank, a generally better feeling prevails in the stock and share markets to-day, and prioes have advanced in most instances. English railway stooks are in especial request, and have ex perienced an important rise. Consols have also im proved i to / per cent., and the favourable movement extends to foreign securities and bank and finance shares. The demand for money is moderate to-day, and the supply large, yet there is no disposition at the moment to transact business in the best three months' bills below 9 per cent., the;Bank minimum. In the Stock Exchange the charge for short loans has receded to 6 to 7 per cent. The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have not yet oome to hand. Consols are now quoted 88 to 1 for money, and 88? to f for the account (October 11). The official business report is as follows :- - Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 871, 88 ; ditto, for account, 88k, 88, 1; Three per Cents. Reduoed, 861 ; New Three per Cents., 86, 851, 96k ; India Stock, 2101 ; ditto Five per Coat stock, 1031 ; ditto Four per Cent., 96 ; Exchequer Bills, March, la, 4s. dis. ; ditto June, 15e. , 13s. dia. The foreign stock market is better. Confederate bonds are in prominent request, and have risen 21 ' per cent. Turkish of 1858 and 1862, Conso lidds, Spanish Passive and Certificates, Mexican, and Greek have also improved 1 to 1. Subjoined are some of the present quotations :—Turkish, 1858, 681 to 1 ; ditto 1862, 694 to 70 ; Consolidis, 501 to 1 ; Greek, 234 to ; Spanish Passive, 31 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 131 to 3 ; Con federate, 65 to 66 ; and Mexican 261 to 27/: Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 674, ex div. ; Egyptian, 961 ; Italian, for account, 661 ; Mexican, for account, 27, 1 ; ditto, 1864, 241, 51 ; Russian, 1862, 871, ; Spanish Passive, for account, 311, 1 ; ditto Certificates, for acoount, 131, ; Turkish, 1858, 681, 1 ; ditto, 1862, 691; ditto for account, 70 ; ditto 1001.

Hats-ran Two o'CLocx. Consols are unaltered, at7BB to f for money, and 881 to; for the account (Oct. 11). The settlement on the Stock Exchange, after the late severe decline in the prices of most kinds of securities, bas necessarily been a difficult one, and has resulted in the failure of three members of the house—viz., two brokers and one dealer. In the two former cases the failure is stated to be owing to the default of some of their principals who were unable, in the present state of the mar kets, to raise money to meet their engagements. There is, however, good reason to anticipate, in at least one ease, a favourable liquidation. ' On the whole, the settlement is considered to have passed off satiafactorily. A large portion of the recent gold arrivals from New York and Melbourne was taken to the Bank yesterday, viz., 102,0001. - - - The tendency of the exchanges yesterday after noon was favourable to this country, bills being offered. The rates were as follows : Amalsoloo, 3 asoaUw, 12.24 to ; ditto, 3 days, ILIBI to 191 ; Rotten:lam 3 motto, 12.24 to 3 ; Ant ipope 3 mouths. 26.771 to 824 ; Hamburg, ma.

The Bootie has brought 67,0001. in specie from New York. The quotations of exchange just received from the East by the French mail steamer exhibit move ments in favour of England, with the exception of the exchange at Calcutta, which is unaltered. At Shanghse a decline of apparently no less than 20. has occurred. At Canton the reduction is Id., and at Bombay id. Owing to the absence of demand for the East, the silver market is flat, at 5a lid. per ounce for bats. On the continent the value of money is gill in most cams greatly below that current here. At Paris the rate is 6j per cent. ; Vienna, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and St. Petersburg, 6 ; Frankfort and Brussels, lik ; and Turin, 74 per cent. Another failure is announced through the stop =the Leeds Banking Company, viz., that of Early and Smith export clotiers, of lioundeditcb. Their liabilities are computed at about 80,0001., and a satisfactory dividend is looked for . The house has been established about half • century, and its credit was good until recently. The circular issued to the creditors is subjoined 1 We have to inform you that Nears. Early aid Smith, of Houndaditch, export clothiers, have bees compelled to sus pend payment. This coarse has bees resdered necessary by the recent failure of several firma, including that of the Leeds Bank, with whom Kamm Early aid Smith have had lugs transactioes.

Lniztirra and HACEWOOD, 7, Walbreok, London, E.C., Sept. 30. The suspension is also notified of Moors. Hall and Jones, sugar-brokers, of Liverpool. The liabilities in this case will probably reach 500,0001., but a favourable liquidation is anticipated, as will be seen by the subjoined circular, which has been issued to the crediton : Liverpool, Bspt We deeply regret to Worm you that, owing to the ex tremely depressed state of the produce markets, sod our roesequent inability to effect male", we have bees compelled to impend payment.

BY A BARRISTER On Tharsdal evening, between six and seven o'clock, • shocking occurrence took place at %Aimless, Dublin. Two bailiffs entered the house of Mr. William Odell, • member of the bar, and recently secretary of the School of Arta, Royal Dublin Society, and prooseded to levy an executioa. Having accomplished their porticos, they ware in the acid leeving, and were saying "Good-bye" to the servant, whoa Mr. Odell rushed out in an excited manner, with a six-bouvelled revolver in hie hand, and delibendely fired at the bailiffs. Whether more than one shot was fired we are not aware, but a bullet took fatal effect in the right temple of one of the bailiffs, named Fox. The unfortunate man wu at once conveyed to the Meath Hospital, but death supervened before surgical soistanos could be procured. Mr. Odell, immediately after the fatal occurrence, walked down to the Ratbxaines police-station, and g►ve himself up. On examinatiou it was found that three of the chamber' of the revolver had been discharged, and that the remaining three were still bided. Mr. Odell wee yesterday morning brought up in custody of Inspector Daly, of the E division, and acting-inspector Sadhog, of the geteelive force, and formally charged before Mr. Allen, at the heed policia.ofEos, with the murder of For. The details of the cue were not gone into, and the prisoner was remitted to the coroner. _ __ The ball from the revolver struck the i;ght temple. It entered theanterior lobs of the brain, and must have proved almost immediately fatal. The shot was fired eo close to the deceased that his right whisker was singed. The de ceased was a man of about 60 years of age, of middle height, sod thin, spare body. After firing the shot, Mr. Odell cried out, " Now, go for the police, and sharp me with murder." THE APPROACHING PRIZE FIGHT. (From Bells life of this day.) We are now on the eve of this important match, which, as our readers are aware, is fixed to come off on Tuesday, Oct. 4, in Ireland, within 100 miles of Dublin, for 11,000 i., and as it is now known that both men are in the Emerald Isis and aloes handy to the starting place, the doubt. long existing sa to the probabilities of a mill appear to have vanished, and the encounter is beginning to excite something like genuine interest. The tom for choice of place was won by Mr. E. James, of the 19eir York Clipper , co behalf of Joe C o b urn , mid it was thee arranged that Joe should mod a notice yesterday, Sept. 30 , to Jim Maas, at Mr. Woodruff.* Cambridge Arms, Island. bridge, of the rendezvous. This condition was duly complied with, Jere, sending a trustworthy agent to receive the neces sary office., not deeming it prudent to show himself publicly in the Irish capital. The secret was, of courts, only im parted to Jem's agent, aad will not be publicly known until the latest initiate on Monday, Oct. 3, for reasons best known to those acquainted with the activity of the Irish constabulary. We shall not be transgressing the rules of caution, however. by stating that the start will be an unusually early one—that the journey will extend me nearly as ponsible to the full 100 miles—and that doe oars will be taken by the managers of the trip to secure the comfort and convenience of the travellers. Jce Coburn has bean training under the watchful eye of Clunk, a few miles from his native town of Limerick, and is reprimand by his friends to be well up to the mark, and although making DO outward demonstration of confidence, seems to regard the forthcoming mill with an amount of soap /red that shows he is not fearful of disgracing his country. We have, of coarse, heard many rumours that he has taken DO Viet amount of work, and has not put that restraint upon hie appetite that is required for fit training ; but to these we have turned a deafen, treating them as the idle goseip of those who wish to shine out ea more knowing than their neighbours, Joe's own friend assure us they are satisfied, sod that is euMcient for u, His weight, we are told will be very little over II stone. In sge he will have the advantage of Mace, being still under 30, while the exahampioe is 34. We do not suppose he will upper in Dub is at Macs informs ue will alee be all Inilli"lliddliymirem. so as to avoid all unnecessary risk. Jem Mace has been under the care of Alf IGlner of Sheffield, first at New market sad subsequently sear Liverpool, from whence he paid a flying visit to Demister, mid, as we are credibly informed, disposed of no lest than 900 colours, receiving the quid pro quo on the spot, indeed of, II is the custom, giving the handkerchief on the usual terms—vie., a guinea if he won, or nothing if he lost. If this be the one, Hader Jam may be coagratalated on having done a very fair stroke of business, and that, too, eithoot any risk of inter fering with his training, which, his backers inform us, he never neglected for • day. In the early part of the present week he sod his Mentor went to Holyhead, and thence on Wednesday they proceeded to Ireland, taking up their quarters at au hotel a few miles from Dublin, where Jim has be putting oe th e finishing tomb. He mass word that be never felt so well in his life, and has no fears as to the result. His weight at present he says is list 51b., some 51b more than he ever weighed before when fully trained. This weshould sEks . rathet too heavy, but doubtless his trainer is the best j udge. We have heard but little betting in this country, so far as we can learn, speculation is equally dull on the other aide. 701. to 401. on Mace was offered at Newmarket on Thursday in the rooms, but the offers did not elicit a rise. Similar odds have been offered in Dublin with a like result. The Midland Scientific Aaeociation have under taboo to clear out the Boor of Thor's Cave, a floe covers situated near Wettoo, In Staffordshire, which procaine to be rich in glacial remains sad in antiquitiee. This cave is on the property of the Duke of Devonshire, and °pantie:se bare already commenced. Facts of great importance to the study of man (says the At &wrens) are coming to light in this Saxon oars. It is said that 3,000 guineas bave been refused for Wild Agnes, sod that 8,000 guineas have been offered far Blair Athol by the French government. The chestnut has only two engagements, which, if he wins them, would be ander a thousand. The retirement of Mr. George Peabody from the City has just taken place, in conformity with his long s:premed intentions. The business of the home, the prosperity of which has been unintereupted, will henceforth be carried on by the remaining partners, under the firm of J. S. Morgan and Co. Annazed is the circular issued:— " Sir,—We beg to inform you that the firm of George Pea body sad Co. expired by allusion of time on the 30th ult., sad in dissolved r.
