HIJOHZB, M.P., ON THE CO-OPERATIVII Pintarte.—ln addressing a meeting of the Peckham In dustrial and Provident Society, held on Thursday night at the Rosemary Branch rooms, Mr. Hughes, M.P., observed that the co-operative principle had extended itself in many ways. They were aware of the "strikes" and "lock. outs "in the north, where a terrible struggle was carried on between capital end labour. Now, what would be the result unless this struggle ceased ? Why, the whole trade of the country would be driven out of it unless something was done. And he was glad to say that the co-operative principle was curing the evil. in the north employers got sick of these disputes, and determined to do something to put an end to them. In one instance, in the cue of the Means. Briggs, the great coal owners of Wakefield, they resolved to put an end to the system. They got, in the first instant*, all their collieries valued, and after retaining 10 per cent. for their capital, resolved to divide the remaining profits among their working men. Those collieries were valued at from 80,0001. to 00,0001. and having, as he said, determined to take to them selves 10 per cent., they called together their men and offered them shar es, to be paid in entail sums and by instalments, giving them a right to their fair share of the profits after the 10 per cent. had been paid fur their capital. What was the result! Previously the collieries paid more than 7 per cent., whereas under the new system not only was the 10 per cent. paid for ospitel to Messrs. Briggs, but a sum of 1,8001. in hard cash was di vided among the working people. In the second year the 10 per cent. was also paid, a dividend of 3 per cent. was declared, and 2,0001. divided among the workmen. This principle thus carried out made these men partners, and of course more careful, and hence it was that • vast amount of expenditure was saved, and an enormous success attained. The movement was only just beginning, but he was strongly of opinion it would eventually succeed, and put an end to those terrible struggles between labour and capital which brought so much misery and ruin on hun dreds and thousands of families among the working classes of this country. He exhorted them earnestly and sincerely to persevere in their good work, and not be dis couraged by any opposition which might be thrown in their way. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND.— Tbe following members of this institution having undergone the n examinations for the fellowship during the week ending the 23rd ultimo, were reported o have acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of the Court of Examiners, and, at a meeting of the council on the 12th instant, were adiuitted fellows of the college—viz., Mews.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (norza's racaoaULs. ) THE BELGIAN MINISTRY. ANTWERP, Disc. 13. The Opinion, a liberal journal, reports the with drawal of MM. Frere and Rosier from the ministry, in consequence of disagreements in the cabinet as to the conference, education, the new ex penditure for the fortifications of Antwerp, and upon the question of military organization. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Dge. 12, EVENING. The Prase of to-day says :—" We are informed that the French cabinet is about to issue a mani festo acquainting the Powers that, in accordance with M. Rouher's statement, France has placed the territorial possessions of the Papacy under her guarantee." VIENNA, Dze. 13. The Upper House of the Reicherath adopted to day, finally and unanimously, the revised draft af-t4taciastito2ioassalkis imow flathiOlontal In the Lower House the bill relative to the State debt was read a third time and passed aeoording to the proposals of the majority. The Nene Freie Prease and the Debate of to-day announce that the assertion that the government would not send Count Crivelli to Rome is without foundation. The Count will leave Vienna to-morrow or the day after for Rome, to conduct the negotiations with the Papal government on the subject of the Concordat. THE FENIAN DEMONSTRATIONS. DUBLIN, Flinn, NIGH?. The Killarney procession has been abandoned. The Privy Council met this evening 'to issue a proclamation forbidding the Clonmel and other processions. LEEDS, Honer NIGHT. The magistrates have to-night decided to stop the Fenian funeral procession that was arranged to take place on Sun day. Efficient police precautions are being taken, and tit; military will assist in keephig the peace, if necesaaiy. The magistrates had received letters stating that the procession would be interfered with, and it was feared that riot would ensue if it were not stopped. LIVERPOOL, FILIDAT After the transaction of the regular bunnies at the offices of the county magistrates in Besnett-street, Liver pool, a special meeting of the magistrates was held with reference to the funeral procession announced to take place on Sunday morning seat outside the boundaries of the borough of LiverpooL Several residents in the district where the prooesaionists have arranged to meet deposed on oath that the proposed procession in honour of the "patriot martyrs" executed at Manchester would, they had reason to believe, lead to a counter demonstration, and that under those circumstances a serious breach of the peace would be almost a matter of certainty. The magis trates, after bearing the depositions, unanimously re solved that the proposed procession should be prohibited within the sphere of their jurisdiction, and that the police should be instructed to hinder it from taking place. They also agreed to meet again to-morrow,when all the necessary arrangements will be discussed and arranged with tke chief ofilur of the aunty polies sad his anparristadmita, who can, we believe, cellist a force of 500 men at Shiel road, the proposed rendezvous of the prooeseionists. GLASGOW, FRIDAT. It may now be predicted with some degree of certainty that neither the Fenian demonstration which it was pro posed to hold at Glasgow next Sunday, nor the opposing display projected by some unaffiliated Orangemen, will come off. After calmly and maturely weighing the cir cumstances, and consulting with the legal officers of the crown in Edinburgh, the Lord Provost and magistrates, acting in concert with the sheriff of the county, have re solved on issuing a proclamation prohibitory of the con templated proceedings. We have every confidence (says the Borth British Mail) that this injunction will be unhesitatingly obeyed on both sides—quiet acquiescence being so obviously the wisest way to avoid formidable hazards. In care of need, however, suitable precautions will be taken for the enforcement of respect to the order ; and we cannot but think that the manifesta tion of strong and wide-spread opinion which the oppor tunity for tendering service as a special constable may be reckoned on to elicit should tell with beneficial effect even upon the most obtuse or fanatical of malcontent'. Dr. Gray, the Roman catholic vicar apostolic for the western district, has come forward in a most impressive manner to dissuade those religionists who own his au thority from h►ving anything to do with the business. THE CHURCH IN SOUTH AFRICA. At tho monthly meeting of the English Church Union, held last evening at Freernasoes'-hall, • special resolution was submitted with reference totbe ecclesiastical troubles in Natal. The Hon. COLIN LINDSAY, president of the emanation, was in the chair , and amongst the audience were Dr. Gray, Metropolitan of Cape Town ; O Bishop Twells, of the range River Free States ; Mr. Brett, the Stoke Newington churchwarden ; and other leading ritualists. The Rev. Mr. DOUGLAS, who regretted that the sub scriptions for the Natal bishopric fund were not greater, moved :—" That this union deeply sympathises with the Most Rev. the Metropolitan of South Africa and his co provincial bishops, in the troubles they have had to endure in the defence ofgthe faith in the diocese of Natal; and would strongly impress upon all churchmen and church women the urgent necessity of providing adequate means for the support of an orthodox bishop in that diatraeted diocese." The resolution was seconded by Mr. STEWART, and sup ported by the Bishop of CAPETON N. Other speeches were made, and an appeal for aid towards the Natal fund, and the meeting separated after the usual formalities. VICTOR Htoo AND TER CENSORBRIP.—M. Victor Hugo having been informed by the manager of the Odeon Theatre, in Paris, that the performance of Rug Blas had been interdicted "by superior orders," addressed the following letter to the Emperor:—" To M. Louis Bona parte.--Sir,--I acknowledge to you the reception of the letter which the director of the Imperial Tbeetre of the Odeon has written me.—Vicroa Htco, Hauteville-hottee, December 8, 1847." It appears that the official interdict was notified on the 2nd December, the 17th anniversary of the exile of the great French dramatist and poet. So that now, not only the author but his works are pro scribed. Dr. Daubeny, Fellow of Magdalen College, and Professor of Botany and Rur►l Economy, died at his resi dence at the Botanical-gardens, Orford, on Thursday might at twelve o'clock, after a severe illness of some weeks. Dr. Daubeny was 72 years of age, having been born in 1796. He wag a younger son of the Rev. James Daubeny, rector of Stratton, in Gloucestershire. INDIA, CHINA, ♦ND AniTHALIAN MAlLS.—These mails reached Dover late last night, and were forwarded to London at 1.40 this morning. The Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have just completed their arrangements for next year, and, following on the success that attended their first pro vincial show at Bury St. Edmund's in July last, have re solved to hold a grand summer exhibb ion next year at Leicester, in July, in conjunction with the show of the Royal AarlculturalSociety. The exhibitions to be held at the Gardens, South Kensington, next year, are three, swing shows in March, April, ►nd May ; a great show in J'unii; and special prize and pelargonium show and rose show the same month. Mr. W. Paul will make a con tinuous show of spring flowers during March, and Messrs. Lane and Sons alike display in April ; Messrs. Waterer and Godfrey, a display of rhododendrons, under the great tent, during the month of June. The fortnightly meetings and show of new and rare rlonta will be continued throughout the year. Altogether, the programme cannot fail to give saUafaction to the fellows of the society. TERRIBLE FENIAN OUTRAGE IN CLERKEN WELL. ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE HOUSE OF DETENTION. THREE PERSONS KILLED, AND FIFTY INJURED. A Fenian outrage, the enormity of which tran scend* by far that at Manchester, was perpetrated in London yesterday. It had for its object the liberation of Fenian prisoners, as in the Man chester case. It is unnecessary to inform our readers that Burke and Casey, two noted charac ters in Fenian circles, were apprehended a short time since in London, and that they have been examined on repeated occasions at the Bow-street' police court. During this time they have been de- I tained at the ClerkenwellHouse of Detention, from which the purpose of the outrage in question was, it is believed, to release them. In that purpose the perpetrators were defeated, the Home-olfiee having had Um* warning of their plot ; but they have nevertheless done that which will carry their names —if ever discovered, as is hoped will be the case—down to, and render them infamous in the eyes of, posterity. They have, by means of gun-' powder, destroyed the lives of certainly three in-' nocent persons, and greatly imperilled the lives of at least fifty others. The facts were as follows : At about half-pact 3 o'clock or a quarter to 4 in the afternoon—the time is variously stated—aloud I ,explosion was heard in the neighbourhood of ' Clerkenwell. Persons who were in Cheapside and elsewhere in the City also heard it. Various statesnents immediately found circulation as to the locality and the cause, but eventually it was ascer tained that an attempt had been made to liberate Burke and Casey from their confi nemen t i n th e Clerkenwell House of Detention, and this in the monk dastardly way, and with very painful results, the means employed being gunpowder, and the eilees of the explosion as already stated. House of Detention is bounded on one side by rporation-row, the roadway of which, being earl about 20 feet in breadth, may be said to be nan4ow. The prison wall on one aide of the road is akout 25 feet in height, and at the base is 2ft. I fin. thick, while at the top it is only a brick and ahalf, or 14 inches. It is entirely composed of brick and mortar. The surface of the ground on the prison aide of the wall is from Oft. to 6ft. below the Olidway on the opposite side. It is used as a parade or airing-ground for the prisoners, and is about 100 feet square. Two wings of the prison building, at right angles to each other, occupy the second and third sides of the area, while the fourth side which is at right angles with Corporation-row, is over looked by the backs of houses three or four storeys high, and which are only separated from the prison wall by a very narrow passage called Stratton's yard. These houses front into Woodbridge-street. The houses in Corporation-row are three storeys, and were occupied chiefly by artificers and warden of the prison. The top front room of one of these houses had been unoccupied for some time, but yesterday one of the warden of the prison called the attention of an officer of the prison named Moots to a circumstance which he considered suspicious. The room commanded a full view of the ;prison-yard, and from its opened window was leaning a woman with a jug in her hand, and belitud her were four or five men, all straining to be as near the window as they could, with the object apparently of seeing something that was taking place in the street below. It was five minutes after this circumstance that the explosion occurred. As an ordinary rule, Captain Codd, the governor of the prison, has been in the habit of exercising his prisoners in the yard between three and halt past four o'clock in the afternoon, but yesterday he exercised them from a quarter-past nine to a quarter-past ten o'clock in the morning. This he did as a precaution. He had been visited on the preceding evening by Mr. Pownall, the chairman of the Clerkenwell Sessions, who directed him not to exercise the prisoners at the ordinary hour. Mr. Pownall gave this direction in consequence of a communication he had that afternoon received from the Home-office, who it would seem had been apprised of the intention to attempt the release of Burke, although it can hardly be supposed that they for a moment imagined the attempt was to take the dastardly form it did. But for this timely warning, the pri boners would have been exercised at the usual hour, and the perpetrators of the outrage would have accomplished their purpose. The governor of the prison took the further precaution to communicate with Sir Richard Mayne, who, however, had already stationed • large body of police outside ' the prison walls. They formed a cordon round the prison, and had done so night and day for the' past month. Inside the prison with which Captain Codd had really only to concern himself, there were six oreight warden, as an additional force during Thursday night. From the House of Correction other six were sent, but Captain Codd dispensed with them,.thinking they were not necessary. A boy named John Abbott, 13 years of age, who is at present a patient in St. Bartholomew's Hospi tal, in consequence of an injury to his hand which he received in the explosion, has made the follow ing statement which explains fully the cause of the explosion : ' I am an errand boy, and lived at 5, Corpora tion-lane, Clerkenwell. About a quarter to 4 I was standing at Mr. 'Young's door, No. 5, when I H saw a large barrel close to the wall of the House of Detention, and a man leave the barrel and cross' the road. Shortly afterwards he returned with' a long squib in each hand. One of these he gave to some boys who were playing in the street, and the other one he thrust into the barrel. One of the boys was smoking paper, and he handed the' man • light, which he applied to the squib. The man stayed a short time until he saw the squib begin to burn, and then he ran away. The police man ran after him, and when the policeman ar rived opposite No. 5 the thing went off. I didn't see any more at that time. I was covered with' bricks and mortar. The man who put the light to the squib was dressed something like a gentleman. He had on a brown overcoat and black hat. He had light hair and whiskers. I should know him again if I saw him. There was a white cloth over the barrel. The barrel itself was black. It was like an ordinary beer barrel. When the man came out of the court (St. James's buildings) he partly uncovered the barrel, but did not wholly remove the cloth. When I first saw the thing I thought it was one of those large baskets which japanners carry on their heads when they take their work home. There were several men and women in the street, and children playing. Three little boys were standing near the barrel at the time. Some of the people ran after the man who lighted the squib." Mrs. Holder, who lived at 4, Corporation-lane, says she is a widow, and that about half-pant 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a man knocked at her door, and upon her son answering he asked to be allowed to go to the top story of the house, in order that he might see his cousin and speak to him when exercising in the yard of the prison. His application was retused, and he went away. About 10 minutes afterwards the explosion occurred. Oliver Cromwell Holder, the son of the above, says he is able to identify the man. A little girl, who was an invalid, and had been removed from her bed to the window in one of the houses overlooking the prison-yard, says she saw the cask, and thought it was treacle. She ex- [STAMPED. ld. ADDITIOILI14) pressed herself to that effect to some person in the room, who simply said " Nonsense." ' But I am sure it's treacle, Polly," said the girl. I With that she saw a man who was near i the cask stoop down, and then the explosion oc curred. Two or three other of the injured persons also speak to the matter of the cask. The manner in which its contents were exploded appears to be pretty clear, judging from the forgoing testimony. 1 If, however, the man who applied the light was, as the boy Abbott describes, in appearance a gentle man,l with light hair and whiskers, be is not in 1 custody. Two men and a woman were seized on the spot, and last night, up to nine o'clock, were locked up in the Clerlmnwell House of Detention. One of them gives the name of Jeremiah Allen, and says he is a bootimaker, and 36 years of age. The other states that his name is Timothy Desmond, and that he is a tailor, and 46 rears of age. Both are shabbily dressed, and forbidding in their aspect. Both have dark hair, and dirty skin, and Desmond wears a rather large beard. The woman's name is Ann Justice, I i and her age s 30. The eye of one of the men— Desmond—is injured. One man and the woman were captured by an officer in plain clothes, whose name we have not been able to ascertain, but it is i understood that the movements of four persons— ! three men and one woman—caused him to suspect !their object, and he rushed forward to seise them, but at the moment was knocked down by the explo sion. He fortunately was not much injured, and . . ring again to his feet, he seized one of the men ' and the woman, whom be took in custody ; another of the men was seized by some other officer, while the third man—and the man who did the deed — managed to escape. I The woman Justice has been in the daily habit ' of visiting the Fenian . prisoner Casey at the prison ; and only yesterday morning visited him. At 2 o'clock, after she had left the prison, one of the offi cers on duty outside the prison inquired of Mr. Moore, one of the prison officials, her address, and at the same time made a communication to Mr. Moore, the effect of which was that he had seen her conversing with a fellow who had for days been hanging about the prison. The constable said it was impossible to get the man away ; he persisted in staying about the place. Mr. Moore immediately spoke to the governor, Captain Codd, on the subject, and two or three officers wore distributed about in order to give an alarm if anything occurred. Shortly afterwards one of the warders called Mr. Moore's attention to a man answering the description given of the one ! who had been seen by the constable loitering about being on the top of a house overlooking the prison yard. When Mr. Moore got to the window at which the warder was watching the man had vanished. But shortly afterwards the same man, according to the description, was with the woman near the front gates of the prison, and presently they were joined by a second man. The same • warder afterwards called Mr. Moose's attention to a window overlooking the yard, from which a woman was leaning with a jug in her band, while behind her were certainly five men, but Mr. Moore thinks the room was packed with men, who ap- I peered to be stretching their necks towards the ; window, as though desirous of seeing something that was going to happen in the street below. The explosion occurred simultaneously. The house in question was gutted by the explosion, but what became of the persons is a mystery. They are either amongst the injured -at the hospital or ran the gauntlet of the polio, numbers whom were immediately after the explosion.qp spot. th A n There are no fewer than 'Moe ho dered, tenantless and uninhabitable by of the explosion. Those directly opposite the breach in the wall were completely gutted. One was almost entirely destroyed, and under the difbris it is feared there are some dead bodies. One old woman and two children are said to be missing. She was the I I mother of Hannah Roberts, who is one of the poor creatures lying at the hospital. At the time of the explosion she was sitting at the window which was in the first floor front room of the house utterly destroyed. The breach in the orison wall is over sixty feet broad at the top, and gradually tapers towards the base. The skylights of the prison are very much broken ; indeed there is not a perfect light left. The houses in the vicinity for some distance were very much shaken and injured. A prisoner in the gaol was injured by a brick which entered the win -1 dow of a cell. ilmmediately on the occurrence of the event assistance was summoned, and in the course of a very short time there were between 500 and 600 of the metropolitan police force on the spot. They were stationed across all the approaches to the pri ' son, where they had to contend forhours with unruly mobs of persons who were eager to know particulars. They were under the direction of Captain Label mondiere, Inspector Gurnon, and Mr. Thompson, the head of the detective force. One hundred Scots Fusilier Guards were stationed inside the ' prison, and were heavily armed. The officers in command of them were Colonel Moncrieff, Captain Gosling, Lieutenant Moray, and Lieutenant Inigo Jones. The following county magistrates were also in speedy attendance at the gaol :—Mr. Pownall (chairman), Mr. Laurie, Mr. H. White, Mr. Fish Pownall, Mr. Bodkin, and Lord Rane high, and the county surveyor, Mr. Fredk. Pow nail, likewise was present ANOTHER ACCOUNT. About 20 minutes to four yesterday afternoon an outrage which resulted fatally in several in stances, wounded more than forty persona, and caused alarm for some distance, and great destruc tion of property in the vicinity, wiuscommitted at the Clerkenwell House of Detention. It seems that the suspicions of the police have been aroused since the lodgment of " Colonel Burke" in that build ing, and from the various rumours that have reached the authorities, a strict watch has been Ikept on several houses in the locality. At the time indicated above an ordinary coster monger's barrow was seen going in the direction of Corporation-lane, accompanied by three men and a woman—the route taken being by St. James's ! walk, and thence along the side wall in con nexion with the Clerkenwell House of De- I tention in Corporation-lane. On reaching that point immediately opposite St. James's-pas sage, the people with the barrow stopped ; and on a tarpaulin being removed, a barrel, said to be rather larger than a common butter firkin, was taken from the vehicle and placed against the prison wall. One of the men was then seen to place a fusee on the barrel, and having applied a light, an explosion of an alarming character directly took place. The report occasioned is described as that of the discharge of a large cannon, and the effect was soon made painfully apparent among the inhabitants. No sooner was the dreadful sound beard than the police were in pursuit of the perpetrators of the outrage ; and they succeeded in capturing two men and the woman, but the man who is supposed to have actually ignited the fusee escaped, from the fact of the force of the explosion having forced to the ground Police constable Sutton, who was chasing him. Than the scene of destruction which soon presented itself nothing could be more shocking. About fourteen yards of the prison wail were blown to the ground, and the houses opposite, num bered respectively 2,3, 4,5, 6, and 7, may be said to have been entirely demolished. Among the inhabitants of the buildings alluded to the greatest suffering was experienced ; and it is said that in one family alone the father, wife, and three chil dren are now lying in the hospital, much injured. ' Many are the conjectures among the prison officials, and the general belief is that the act was intended as an attempt to rescue " Colonel Burke," who now lies in the prison under remand. What ever may have been the motive, we are assured (TWOPENCE that had the attempt been made two minutes earlier "Colonel Burke" would have been in the yard performing his accustomed exercise with the other prisoners. It is the opinion of the prison officials that to some of the inmates of the house the attack was not surprising ; but the majority of the t p h rir ceusnersineviiinfo:ni frantic c e that withn the the s h oe u was d g notlnasngl:l order g e e t r . w resultTa was oterror,a givenh o a lo f wd, any r a n o i rt t eachasbi mishapudot the warders to discharge their revolvers from the windows into the prison yard, as if acting on the ' defensive.

The husband of the deceased Km, Hutchinson is at present in St. Bartholo ' mew's Hospital, suffering from the effects of inju- Iries which he received during the explosion. ATTEMPT OT THE FEMALE PRIFIONZIL TO COMMIT SUICIDE.—The three prisoners who were arrested by the detectives when in the act of running away from the spot where the explosion took place, were at once lodged in the House of Detention for safe custody. The two men appeared to be mechanics, and they were resolute-looking fellows ; they main tained • sullen silence as to the crime for which they were apprehended. The third person arrested was a woman of middle age, and she had the ap pearance of a working man's wife. She was as uncommunicative as the men, and like them she was locked up in • cell for safe custody. About 10 o'clock in the evening she made • determined attempt to commit suicide by strangulation. She was fortunately discovered before she had suc ceeded in her design. To prevent a repetition of the attempt she was handcuffed, and warders were placed in her cell to watch her. The three pri soners are specially watched by 20 policemen. The Grenadier Guards were placed for the night in the corridors of the prison. The police of all the divisions from A to Y have sent contingents to the neighbourhood of the House of Detention. min at one time it was estimated that close upon ,000 were on duty in Clerkenwell. There was not the faintest evidence, however, of any design en the part of the Fenian' to follow up their first blow by any coup de main. The most perfect order pre vailed all the evening. INCIDENTS OF THE EXPLOSION. A Mr. Clutton, a tradesman, in Leather lane, at re time of the explosionwns inhis stable in Davictegiseet, ttendliii to his henia, wfift he was drunk dead on the spit. 'Oa being examined We left breast bore the appear awe of having bees seariplately anzinhed In. hie.. Taxa, builder, residing at the house next but one to the prison, was sitting in his oolusting.house reading, when he was thrown violently from his chair to the ground, the chair itself being shivered in pieces. Mr. Terry, fortunstely escaped with • few braises. It is reported that the governor of the House of Detention received an anonymous letter yesterday, in. forming him that en attempt would be made to blow up the prison. He placed this letter in the hands of the police, but as it stated no time when the attempt was to be made, nothing more was done than to place a few extra constables on duty in the immediate vicinity, and it was owing to this precaution being taken that the speedy capture of the three persons supposed to be guilty was effected. The streets in the neighbourhood of the prison for • quarter of • mile round, were strewed with fiagiuents of broken glass. A tradesman in Woodbridge-street, who states he was passing along Corporation•lane at • few minutes to four o'clock, when he saw a man drawing a truck apparently heavily loaded, and accompanied by two other men and a woman. On their arriving opposite the wall of the prison which encloses the exercising ground of the prisoners, and into which they are usually brought out at four o'clock, the track was stopped, and the two men lifted out of is a barrel which they placed alongside the prison wall. The woman in their company immediately stooped down, and at that moment, is is supposed, applied ► fusee to the contents of the barrel, the whole four immediately taking to their heels and the explosion took plane in a few seconds with the results already described. The parties were at once pursued, and two of the men and the woman were captured and taken to the Clerkenwell polioe station. Some of the sufferers, who lived opposite the prison, state that they have seen men, whilst standing under the walls, smoking their pipes and picking the mortar from the bricks. _ _ Fora few minutes after the explosion there was dark. nee, in the streets, the explosion having extinguished the lamps. The excitement was increased by the arrival of police stretchers, cabs, and even carts. In those vehicles were placed at least 20 persons, males, female's, and their children. borne were so terribly mangled that they were writhing and groaning with pain, and were apparently in the agonies of death. The various streets near the scene of the catastrophe are barricaded, and even the occupiers of the different places of business are not allowed to pass unless they can show authority for doing so. The are brigade, who were called to the supposed gas explosion, were very busy in shoring up the bosses and directing men how to search for the bodies which it was believed were buried beneath the ruins of the houses in Corporation-row. The way was rapidly torn up, and pipes being attached to the gas mains, the street was quickly lighted up. and a strange scene was presented. The lire. men in their shining helmets were working by the light of the daring gas, searching the ruins ; and placed in the gap of the prison wall were scores of police. The spot where the powder was placed the ground has been actually blown in, and the wall was torn from its very foundations.
