At the conclusion of Mr. Brerston's wridsees, the joy proceeded to Voltland Bay to view the ship, whisk Is lying mewls the breakwater, and the Inquiry wan afterwards ad journed until Saturday nut. STATE OF THE SHIP. Now that the lint excitement caused by the late dreadful incident on board the Groat Beaters has partially subsided, the extant of the thinisms dose mid the probable muses of the explosion can be amortatael with a comp•retiw degree of certainty. In the first place it is evident that the damage dose to the ship I. by se means so onmiderable se was at Int anticipated, nor Shed to it one lithe as greet se might have hen expected from the terrific nature of the explosion. The light woodwork of the bertha sad cabins on the lower deck end the fragile decorations of the grand saloon have of comas bees either entirely demplished or very muck da maged, bat the real solid structure of the ship hes resisted the explosion as completely as If It had Men ►rot that of • pistol.

After the snivel of the ship at Portland, • committee was formed, consisting of the chairmen, the directins ou board, sad Natalia Hardison, by whom it was immediately determined to proceed with the repair of the damage at once. A survey was at once made, and mtimatee east la foe ambits good the damages, which do not exceed 6,000 f., of which 1,0001. will be cotwamed redecerstiag the greed saloon. TO TIS IDAOI OT THI SITIISS. Birk—Graphic as wee the description in your im pression of yesterday of the fearful scenes which pressated themselves on board the Great &item it to almost im poesible to exaggerate their truthfulness. To the,. who visited the infirmary the most ghastly spectacle presented itself. There were the victims laid upon beds, hur riedly strewed upon the door, es no such event had been anticipated, and, consequently, no organbwl hospital mewled within the ship. All the materials for hospital attendance had bees provided In abandenes, aad • most able stair of medical and surgical practitioners retained for the service of the ship.

Latterly a ohsege has occurred in him manner, but nothing until recently transpired to attract public attention to him. During the last few tmathe, however, religious matters appear to hare occupied so large a share of his tolerable that occasion , ally for days together he might be teen sitting in the &Ode surrounding his house from morn till night, apparently engaged in deep reflection, and paying little or no attention to his worldly affairs. A neighbour on one occasion, inquired why he did not look atter his grain, when he replied in a somewhat rambling style, which led the person to believe that his Intellect was seriously affected, A portion of the bay in hie fields yet remains meat, and the rest now elands in the half-finished state in which it was left two menthe ago. Several fields of excellent wheat and oats have beans* a mere prey to the army of docks, gum, and mete, which have been permitted to wander uoreetrained over the domain of this infittnated man ; in fact, the whole produce of the fano le tensely worthless, and the damage thus occasioned will be very considerable. Until Tuesday se'ennigbt things thus went cc, when, according to his own statement and that of his neighbours, he went into one of his fields, and miter being then a short timo he re turned home and went to Ind, end there lay moil the middle of Wednesday.

During the whole of the three days and nights he wan asleep, it is stated by persons who were present that he did not partake of any food, and even up to Sunday refused to eat, saying that his stay here was only abort, and this might have proved correct had not a change ems over him on that day.

Just when the building operatives choose starva tion, rather than work ten horns a-day, en old, but real Finance, makes itself hard again from the stifling alma of the bakery. The masons and carpenters may urge th= have no th ing to do with the rights of bakers; but V they we. to take practical facts Into consideration, in the plane of men abstraetfons, they might discover the natio, at working Mattoon ezpe. ly to be enabled to help bakers In =nth= their time reduced below eighteen. Then is no action or fancy about the bakers' case. Unlike the builders, who work in companies, and pass the merry joke from sca ff old to ra ft ers ta the fresh air, the bakers work underground, in the slam of fermentation, breathing carbonic acid, end the burnt sir from pa-lights and ovens, with little to cheer them, and for an unreasonable sad ruinous number of hours. Cu there be any action about it, when atalisthe prove that the life of a journeyman baker is the least valuable of any member of the community ? Why, to see an aged working baker is as rare a sight as a youth ful general deficient of royal blood. If the operative kidders rest on their right. ea woridsg raw, the taken at once claim their sympathy as working men, and those who hold to the faintest faith in.community of rights and privi =Naught to coneentrate their fords for the aid of the theirowneallithandunreasonableabstractions the whilie li l f ralke • nun round the streets at any hour in the =orate= before daylight, sad you shell discover when the bikers are situated by the glimmer of light that creeps from a chink la Sae pavemeat, sad, If you stoop down and watch, you will see the bare arms of pate-faced men bus In the ketch that is to supply • thoosend au when day hes feisty a= in. What sort of a teak t P The mind= is painful sad humiliating, that the staff of life is • weapon of death to those who prepare it for as, sad we have allowed this wrong to continua to the did nation of one of the moat metal =uses of the toiling com munity, without say one public effort ever being made to obtain justice for the working baker. Stewing In the steam of the bakery by night, their frames are well prepared to take cetera, phthisis, bronchitis, and a hundred other forme of pulmonary disease, by exposure to the damps and frosts of winter, and thie is one raison why taken take the wont places in the tables of life expectancy. Add to that the ex cessive toil, and the terrible stretch of from twelve to eighteen hours out of every twenty-four, and the best hours eel Sunday consumed in =king other people's &tams, and these need be no mystery as to the =totality among bakers. Who can believe this to be necessary? Surely 00 one who has thought on the subject for five minutes together. It ought, therefore, to be remedied, and the while have a duty to perform in seeing that It is remedied. The work of the worV meat be done; but It should not be done by any un reasoned*, tax ea =mut endurance ; no man's life should be shortened by the irk of contributing to the supply of our daily ascemity. This Is a crying grievance, and in the face of gook a clue the sine boars movement becomes sickening, sad we wan= but may to the waking builders—take your tee hours teak thankfully, and if you hare money to spend fa vindication of the rights of tabour, need it in rendering eminence to the overworked bakers.—City Asu.

In doing so, some heavy sea. struck the lifeboat In rapid succeation, placing her for a short thus in great peril. She, howevor, behaved admirably, the se*f'acting valves relieving her of the heavy seas that broke into her ; and she ultimately succeeded in entering the harbour, amid st the cheering el hundreds of spectators who had congregated as the quays. The weather having mode rated, and the mew having been again pot on board, th e vessel proceeded on her voyage. This valuable lifeboat ie on the plan of shoes adopted by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and was liberally provided, thoroughly equipped, • fee Wick, by the British Fishery Society.
