Wasp then took away the crew, and landed them at the t.terge's Laling•stage. About 20 minutes past seven o'clock the °Patents of the ,sel blew up with a report which it is hardly possible to The simultaneous explosion of 500 pieces of te,,vy ordasoce could not have produced so terrible ad alarming a shock. Its effects in every part Liverpool were severely felt and created indea— ramble terror. At the earns moment the most solid t:ocka of warehouses, offices, and private dwellings were !Laken to their bus—doors, locked and even bolted, were thrown wide open—hundreds, yea, even thousands, of ,uares of glass were smashed—and to add to the alarm, the entire line of lamps through the greater portion of the streets were extinguished, rendering it difficult to pees from place to place, and jeopardising the safety of t=ae who rushed forth to ascertain the cause of the consternation. The fear which prevailed was parti. "duly experienced by the poorer inhabitants, who roared forth from court and alley screaming for de. vsranc• from some unknown danger, and dragging their helpless children at their heels. Crowds ran first this Tay and then that, inquiring what was the calm of the ::arm. Now one retinae was assigned and then another, lad as some vague rumour was circulated pretending to the disclosure of the origin of the casualty, the crowd rushed to the spot, only to be left in the more bewildered state of =lament and uncertainty. The spectacle which the burning vessel presented ht the moment of the explosion was one of the sot frightful yet grand which mould have been ....clued. The flames had enwrapped the whole of the . err portion of the vessel, but had sot burst forth and 4 - tasd the rigging. Suddenly a sound that deafens, and the solid earth to heave and reel, bursts upon the e:•.:.t.: the black bull belches forth a hideous volume of gin,' illuminating the heavens and coating its %rid hilt on either shore and over the vessels lyiog at miler to the Sloyns and the river. High in the air the yards, mute, and in fact the whole tf the upper portion, of the vessel were thrown by the force of the explosion, and fell like fiery hissing ger rine into the waters sal around. Bolts, portions of the h:11, and fragments of the lighter parte of the ship were propelled as far as either shore, and we heard of some p.eces falling upon the steont-boata lying near the landing !t.ger. The hull was riven into a thousand pieces, and les ediately the amok@ had cleared away portions of the i.,:reing Man were seen floating down the liver with the ebb tide. Of these at one time nearly as molly ai a hundred were perceptible, and as they floated duns the stream presented a very singular appearance. P..ey were traced for a very considerable distance, but even tthlly the lights were extinguished by the water dashing ever them, and no mischief was oiscaaioned by the Darning Pieces. Shortly after the explosion a portion of the bull toiled past the Woodside ferry-boat, that vessel being cam pilled to shut off steam to avoid coming in collision with it it come down the river. A vessel called the Retriever was lying within a few hundred yards of the horsing ship, htt she sustained no injury from the falling burning spars. The La verpoo/ .Ifrr , ur•y . then proceeds to narrate in de some of the chief casualties, the narrative extending over nearly three long columns. In many of the streets tie whole of the gas lamps and the lights in dwellings were extinguished, and the inhabitants rushed out in the belief that an earthquake had taken place. Plate glass, shutters, end doors were thrown out in Castle-street, Lord-street, bale -street, and many other quarters. Along the whole lies of decks the shock wee felt with Peat violence, and the utmost consternation was caused. The damage, however, was chiefly confined to the break age of windows, those facing the river having especially suffered from the effects of the con cussion. Tne force of the blast seemed to have varied in so unaccountable manner ; at one house, the whole of the windows would be shivered into a thousand fragments. and the very nest would perhaps have rsalped with none or very slight damage. As a role, comer premises seemed to have suffered most, and these were chicly public houses, the plate-glass fronts of which were idly mutilated. No peremal injury seems to have been ':stained, though there were narrow escapes. At the Southern Hospit,l the shock was severely felt, Le whole building distinctly vibrating. All the gaslights sent out at once. The impression was that an explceim of gas had taken place in the home ; the gas st the meter sae therefore turned off immediately. Many of the patients rushed into the street in their night dresses— s...me with broken legs crawling out upon their hands "a ' cum ; and, had it not been for the admirable coolness of the house surgeons, backed most ably by the porters and nurses, the consequences might Dave been dread. f al. The poor sufferers were soothed and removed to their beds as soon u possible, and in shout half an hour the host,tal resumed its usual quietude. The only damage done writhe blowing off of some of the ventilating gratings in the ward., and the smashing of several of the windows. The streets of Liverpool were densely crowded for hours after the occurrence. and it was near midnight before a feeling of conscious security returned. Sonic idea may be formed of the terrific effect of the ex. r.),1160t when it is mentioned that the report was beard at ( Mater, the authorities at that place having telegraphed to verpool to know what was the cause of the tiemendons report which they had beard. The explosion war felt with terrific force at Birkenhead. ne public lamps sod nearly the whole of the gas lights in shore and private honer were instaatly extiagnishod, people rushed into the street+ exhibiting the utmost terror. The thoroughfares, especially those leading to Wv , elile Ferry, were soon crt.w.led with persous eager to THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, roc eacertein whether any lives bad been lost.

The ten anon, Lyon; William; Blanco, Ambrosio, Be anie, Marcellino, Lopez, Carle; Waiter, and Itadock, charged with piracy and murder on the high seas, were brought up for further examination. As ou the former occasion, a large crowd was assembled is the street before the court to watch the arrival of the prison van, and the removal of the prisoners from the vas to the court, when they were received with groans end hisses. Lyons being still too ill to walk was again carried in by Williams. Mr. Welshy conducted the preinientioe, instructed by the solicitor to th , Treasury ; Mr. It ieetracted as before, by the Spanish Cowed, appeared for seven of the prisoners. The Chevalier J. de Schaeffer, Director of the Austrian emulate in Loodon, was in attendance for the purpose of watching the case uregavtled Raduck or Paul, who claims to be a n Austrian subject. Y. de Schaeffer observed that much &Sanity arose from thu fact that Raduck had given several different names. He sow stated that he bad demoted from as Austrian ship at New York, and then assumed the peen claim of Itednek„his real name being something altogether different. Search would be made in the registers, and if it could be ucertained that this statement was correct, end that he was us Austrian subject, steps would be taken for his defence. Mr. Rosenberg again attended to interpret in Spaniel), Mr. Persoovitch to interpret in Greek, and Mr. Albert in French. Anderson, the ship's carpenter, wu then called, bat being • Norwegian, and not nndentanding English well, he could not be examined without the aid of an interpreter. A messenger wu sent to fetch one, and the ecideuce of another witness was taken in the meantime. Frank Cuidereau,Troen Bordeaux, who gave his evidence in French, interpreted by Mr. Albert. deposed—l was a seaman in the Flowery Land. I shipped in London. I slept in the house on deck in same berth with Aoder son sad Early. I remember the captain being killed. I doe% know the time. Some twelve days before that Frank Paul told me that the men were going to kin the captain. I told the captain of this, but be only answered, " Oh, no." I rememberbeisg woke up ou the morning when the captain was killed, between 3 and half-past 3, by Early and the carpenter. They were both crying. They told me to go to the wheel. I salved if it was 4 o'clock, and they said no. I went to the wheel. The prisoners had capstan bars in their heeds. I can hardly tell which prisoners, salt was hardly light. There were seven or eight of them. While I was at the wheel I asked what was the matter. I was told that the captain and the first mate were in the sea. I asked after the captain, and they showed him to me dead in the cabin. Frank Paul showed me, through the sky light. He said "See the captain—he is dead on the floor." It was also Frank Paul who told me about the captain's brother and the mate. When it was daylight. I went into the cabin, and saw the captain wrapped up in mw. helped to haul the captain up on deck ; they forced me to do so. Marco Wetter urged me to it . He said to me "Lead a hand to throw him into the water, and take care of yourself !" (Pretide garde k toil.) All hands were in the cabin at that time. They had not the bars in their hands then. Three or four helped to haul the body up, but Ido not know which they were. I saw the body of the captain thrown overboard. 1 helped to throw it over. Marco Waiter was one. After that 1 looked through the skylight. The cabin was full of blood. When it be came daylight the cabin was cleaned and the men broke open the chests. Amongst other things I saw them take out two watches, one belonging to the captain, end one to his brother. When they found the money it was divided, and I was called down to take my there. All hands were there. The second nude divided the money into I; parts. If it had been good mosey my share would have been 100 francs, or 4/., but it was bad money. Some days after that Baailio de In Santee was in the cabin sharpening his knife, and he said to me "This knife will serve you the same as it did the captain." I remember the ship being sunk. It was 2 o'clock in the morning. Chanas, Durum, Blanco, and Lyons were the last to ester the boat. Carp went into the boat with me, but the others, is _Spanish, told him to go on board again, and he did so. I did not see where he went, RI I was le the boat. I heard him crying in the ship.—[Here much difficulty was found in undemtanding the witness's statement as to lassap'a excla mation. The words the witness used were "Mahan mai de me courier." Ultimately it appeared that the boy cried out in English, and the witness being asked what were the words, replied, " He said, ' Finish to cut me quick.' "I —After this I saw the cook go up in the rigging, and the ship weal down, be still clinging to the rigging till the waves closed sound and over him. I w him or Cup again. The witneu proceeded to describe the lest struggles of the steward in the water. Williams and Paul were discharged, sad the others com mitted. Mr. Beard has received instructions from the Creek and ; Turkish governments to defend Carlos and Santos.

SUICIDE THROUH DIKTRISS.—(TEILi DAY.}—This morning, between the boars of mess sod eight o'clock, a woman of the name of Mary Richardson committed suicide by throwing herself into a water-butt at the rear of her resi dence, 7,Yictoria-place,Lower-road, lalington. The deeesseti has for some time past been in great distrom owing ha her work, sue being a lauedrees, falling off. She has two illegiti mate children which she sourest the Clarke° well polies tout t a few months sinorAwbeiranorder was made on the father to pay 2s. 6d. per week for each, but it is stated that the father has been very irregular in his payments ' and that has also preyed on her mind. Last night she was beard to say that labs was so distressed in her mind that she was afraid that she I would commit suicide, and this morning before the other lodgers were about she got a chair, and threw herself into the water-butt as the water was mining in. When she was got out life was extinct. PKoPOSED VISIT OF THE BuldirOlt 31EMBERS. Arrangements bad beets made for a Town Hall meeting neat 1 Weduesilsy (nays the Itirni•ilha, holy Poet of thi s day), to hear addresses from the, borough members, Messrs. Schole6eld and Bright. It was also intended that many of those who are not brought into contact with these gentlemen frequently, should have an opportunity of meet ' iog them at • seine in the Bova Hotel. We regret to say that, for the present, these meetings must be pose posed, in consequence of Mr. Bright being confined to the I boom with a bed cold, which affects his throat, and renders 1 it impossible for him to speak in the Town-hall. It is just I possible that he may have recovered by Wednesday, but the committee felt that they were aot justified its asking Mr. Bright to come so DOOO, even if a favourable change set in at once. It is probable that the meeting will take place in the following week. —l3iresi neiliam Dulls' Pool.

Two oTioes. The stock markets today are quiet, and the varia tions in prices are unusually few. The general tone is firm, but there is little disposition to speculate. The funds are well supported at yesterday's prices. With the exception of a fresh fall in Greek Bonds, foreign stockshave scarcely moved. Home railway stocks retain • tendency to improvement. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentcs were quoted 66fr. 52c., showing no variation of importance. Consols are now quoted 901 to g for money, and 911, "sellers," for the account (Feb. 4). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 901, 1, 91, 902 ; ditto for amount, 911, 1; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, I ; New Three per Ceuta., 901, 91, 901 ; India Five per Cent, stock, 106, 1 ; ditto Four per Cent., 100 ; Five per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 104/ ; and Exchequer Bills, bs., 65., dia. Greek Bonds have again declined, being last marked 22k. Mexican are steady at 351 to g, and Spanish Passive at 34 to 1. Spanish Certificates continue in demand. Turkish Consolidis are steady, at 461 to /. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Bni zilian, 1852, 1858, 1860, 88, g ; Egyptian, 101/ , 101 ; Greek, for account, 2 31, i, 22 1 ; Mexican, for account, 35i, 1 ; Portuguese, 1853, 471, 1, ; ditto, for account, 471 ; ditto 1856, for account, 471, 1 ; Russian, 1822, 921 ; ditto 1860, 87 ; ditto 1862, 89/, 89 ; Spanish Passive, for account, 34g ; ditto Certificates, for account, 141, 14 ; Turkish, 1858, 100/.

International Financial shares are quoted 41f, , to i prem. ; General Credit, 21 to 3 prem. ; Lon don Financial, 111 to 12 prem. ; Egyptian Trading, 11 to 1g prem. ; Merchant Banking, 31 to 4 pretn. ; Land Mortgage Bank of India, 2 to 1 prem. ; Eng lish and Swedish Bank, let° 111 prem. ; Consolidated Discount Company, 1 to g prem. ; West India and Pacific Steam, 11 to 2 prem. ; Mauritius Laud Credit and Mortgage, 11 to 11 prem. ; Dis count Corporation, 32 to 44 prem. ; Contract Cor poration, 2* to I prem. ; Anglo-Italian Bank, 1 to 11 prem. ; National Steam, 1 dia. to par ; Australian and Eastern Steam, 11 to 2 prem.; London, Italian, and Adriatic Steam, 11 to 2 prem.; and Land Securities, 11 to 11 prem. TIN MINUTES PAST Two o'Ctocn. Consols are now per cent. bettor, at 9O to 91 for money, and 911 to I for February. Ilaix-rasr Two o'CLoce. Consols remain quoted 901 to 91 for money, and 91i to I for the account. In the discount market and at the Bank of Eng land the demand for money yesterday was active, but there was no absolute pressure ; 7 per cent. was demanded on good bill.. The steamer Edinburgh has brought 90,0001. in specie from New York. The bar silver by the West India packet was sold yesterday for India at Si. 20. per ounce, showing a rise of jd., compared with the price obtained for the previous remittance. Within the last few days, however, owing to the activity of the damned for India, •ausactions have occurred at the present quotation and Se. 20., as previously stated. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather Hat, but there was not much change in the rates, which were quoted as follows : Amsterdam. 3 alostbs, ILI9 to A ; ditto, 3 days, ILI6I to 1 - 1 ; Rotterdam, 3 mouths, 11.19' to I; Antwerp, 3 mouths, 25.05 to 70 ; Ramberg, ma. bunco, three months, 13.7 to f ; Paris, 3 days, 25.=3 so 30 ; ditto, 3 1901thlk 23.70 to 75 • Frankfort-on-the-Mains, 3 months, 1191 to ; St. Petersburg (per rouble), 3 menthe, 331 to ; Vienna, ed. to., 3 itionthx,l2.4o to 45 ; Trieste, if. no., 3 menthe, 12.40 to 45 ; Madrid, 3 mouths, 47i to 4t l ; Cadis, 3 month:, 47/ to 48 ; Leghorn. 3 months, 23.83 to 90 . Genoa. 3 mouths, 23.85 to 90 ; Hasa, 3 months, 25.85 to 90; Naples, 3 months, 25.85 to 90; Marino, 3 mouths, 25.85 to 90; Messina, 3 months, 23.85 to 90; Lisbon. 90 days, 521 to ; Oporto, 90 days, 52 1 to At Paris and Vienna the rate of discount in the open market is Gi per cent. • Hamburg and Am sterdam, 5 ; Turin, G 4 ; Frankfurt, 4 ; Berlin, 41 ; Brussels, ; and St. Petersburg, 9 per cent. The monthly return of the Bank of France, as made up to Thursday, the 14th of January, shows the following results (the exchange taken at 26fr. to the pound) : Coin and bullion Bills discounted Notes in circulation lncrease 2,300,000 Private dep=ta Treaeury tkposita Advances on public securities Decrease 480,000 The falling off in the coin and bullion is not heavier than had been expected, but the total is now only 6,728,0001. against about 32,500,000/. of notes outstanding. The fact that the note circula tion bas increased so largely during the past month serves to render the discrepancy the more serious. On Thursday a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation was aigued by Hr. Dubois, the minister of Hayti, and Mr. Ralston, the consul•general of Liberia, the respective plenipotentiaries of the two contracting negro republics. The directors of the Union Rink of Australia, as financial agents of the colony of Queensland, and of the Province of Canterbury - , in Sew Zealand, are about to Offer for sale in London 200,0001. Six per . . Cent. Debentures, being 150, 0001 . ou aoxitint of the former and 50,0001. on account of the latter. The International Financial Society is again in the field, having just put out the pros pectus of the Land Securities Company (Limited). Introduced under these auspices, it is scarcely necessary to say that the project is moot respectably constituted. The Duke of .Ilaribm - ough is prem. dent, and the International directors will act as a finance committee. The basis of the project is, iu one word, the extension to this country of the Credit Fonder system, which is now in successful operation in most of the countries on the Continent. The company, whose special province it will be to make investments on lauded estate, will act as agents between the moneyed public and the bor rower, raising money on debentures at one rate, and lending it at another. Another new undertaking, formed with &number of respectable names, practically identified with existing joint-stock enterprise, is the London, Italian, and Adriatic Steam Navigation Company (Limited). The objects are the establishment of a line of screw steamers between Loudon and the porta of Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Messiva, and Palermo, "to sail with undeviating regularity at intervals of not less than ten days," and of lines suited to the requirements of the trade between London, Greek, Adriatic, and other ports iu the Mediterranean. With • view to the immediate commencement of business, the directors have provisionally entered into au arrangement with the directors of an existing line to take over their four new steamers, viz., the Alexandra, Clotilda, Italia, and Venetia. It is pointed out that the company will thus obtain a valuable connexion in the Italian trade, by which the shareholders will enter imme diately into • profitable business, the price to be agreed upon by arbitration, and to be accepted in shares of the company. The enormous increase which has latterly taken place in the Mediterranean trade is cited as affording full explanation of the formation of this project. The capital is 500,000 k, in 10,000 shares of 501. each. We understand that the directors of the South African Mortgage and Investment Company have resolved on issuing the second half of the nominal capital of the company by 10,000 shares of 501. each, at a premium of I/. per share to existing shareholders. This company has now been in existence upwards of one year, and Las already secured a very large and rapidly extending loan and trust business in the Cape Colony. It is un derstood that the chief object, however, which the directors have in view in this second issue is so to extend the bases of the company as to take up, in addition to . the Cape ;Colony, a large and inviting business in the adjoining settlements af British Kaffraria and Natal. The company has already declared an interim dividend of 5 per cent. It is announced that the share list of the Aun tralian and Eastnri Navigation Company will be closed on Wednesday next, the 20th inst. The directors of the London Financial Assoeia tion have issued their first half-yearly report, whir& is of a very satisfactory character. We extract as follows : In presenting their first report, the directors have to con gratulate the shareholders oe is. mildeatary ream which this association has made in the eaeapasaMeely short time it has been in existents, especially ha roped te the periods at which the capital of the amiciatioe wee ;midair. After providing for the current ermines, including Babb pea and directors' allowances, and write"; off the whole ed the preliminary expenses and carrying famed a rebate iff interest at the rate of 7 per mat. per annum oe Issas net due, them remains a clear profit of 7.13,7651. Is. 7d. Oath this ma the directors propose to pay to the shareholders a divideed equal in amount to interest at the este of 5 per eass per annum on the amounts of capital paid sp, with a beaus at the rate of 10 per cent. per sonnet, hag( together 18e. per share, free of income au, and to carry forward a balance of 10,210 f. Is. 7d. to the oast half year. The following is from the fifteenth report of the directors of the National Discount Company (Li mited), to be submitted at the general meeting on the 20th inst. The i results shown are highly satis factory : The directors have pleseare in submitting to the share holders the asocauts for the half-year radium 31st December last, from which it will be sees that the gross profit his amounted to 73,8401. 12s. 4d., and that, after providing for the current expenditure, directors' sad auditors' remnaera ties, income tax, Ac., and reserving 32,7721.45. 10x . ter rebate of interest on bills not yet des, there amass for appropria tion the sum of :14,0871, ls. lid. The directors recommeed the payment of a dividend at the rate of 10 per oat. per slam.. which will absorb '30,0001.. and that the balance of 15,0a71. Is. 11d, be carried to the reserve fund, which, with accrued interest, will thee amount to 98,41191 1111. Id. We are informed that the armegements for the organisation of a company to be called the " Lon don Credit Foncier (Limited)," are nearly com pleted, and that the names of the directors and offi cers will be published in a few days. The subscription list of the Kumaon ai..l Owls Plantation Company will be closed to London applicants on Friday, the 22nd inst., and for the country on Saturday, the 23rd. FIUDAY Emma. Consols opened and closed to-day at yes terday's quotations, viz., 902 to 4 for mosey, and 91 to for the 4th of February. The official business report is we follows ;—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 902, 2; ditto for ac count, 91, ; Three per Ceuta. Reduced, 901,1,1; New Three per Cents., 901, ; Stock, 237 ; India Stock, 218; ditto Five per Cent.

Ex chequer Bills have fallen to 61. to 21. die. In the foreign stock market the principal features were a fall of 1, per cent. in Greek Bonds, and a rise in Mexican and Spanish Passive Bonds and Cer tificates. The variations in other stocks were not of importance. The shares of the financial associations were in request and better. London and Financial closed at 12 to 1 prem. ; International at 41 to a Frew. ; and General Credit at 21 to 3 prem.

MIXER.-(TRIG DAYJ Two o'CLvic. There is not very much business in the mining market to-day, as usual on Saturday, but the tone is firm, and the tendency of prices upwards. Chiverton snares are better at 1J to Clifford Amalga mated at 37} to 38i, sad Best Caradoo at 26i to I. West Chiverton are gooted 64 to 56. Yudanamntana shares hays improved, and Don Pedro are inquired for. Other descriptions are steady. We are informed that the lumber of shares applied for in the Otea Copper Minima Company is quite sufficient to enable the director* to pro ceed to allotment. _ _ A further rise of s'. per ton took place yesterday in the price of copper. Present quotations are re ported as follows by Marra. Sims , Willyams, Naval, and Co. :—Manufaetured copper, 1201. pee ton ; tough cake and tile, 1131. ; best selected, 1161. ; yellow metal, 100. per lb. ; sheathing nails, 12Id.
