THE terrific explosion which on Tuesday con. verted the works of the London Gas Company into a mass of ruins, which destroyed whole streets, and cost the lives of an unknown number of human beings, has not yet been traced to any cer tain cause. It is contrary to all our existing know ledge that gas should take fire or explode without a due admixture of atmospheric air, and hitherto we have always been able to find the clue of an explosion in the fact of a preliminary escape of the gas into some chamber where such admixture could take place. But gas stored in a "holder" is, or ought to be, pure. It is in a condition in which, if the holder were rent open, it would burn as the air reached it and fed the flame, but in which no instantaneous combustion of the whole mass could take place to constitute an explosion. Indeed, one of the gasometers adjaceut to that which burst gave an example on this very occasion of the character of this inflam mation. The gas which it contained escaped sod caught fire, and the flame ascended in a great roaring pyramid of light ; but the result, however alarming and irrepressible, was perfectly innocuous. In the meter which exploded, therefore, some new and as yet unknown or unforeseen condition must have existed to lead to instant explosion on the contact of some chance spark. But what this pecu liarity may have been it is the business of science to find out. We cannot afford to sit still and wonder as we should at some natural phenomenon which we cannot understand, and which, if we did understand it, we could not resist or escape. It is no earthquake or volcanic eruption I that we have to deal with ; it is a ' manufacture by human hands, a remarkable ap plication of human discovery, necessary now for the comfort of a whole population, and carried on in the midst of a densely crowded city. When all at once such a manufacture results iu overwhelm ing destruction, it becomes imperative that we should discover to a certainty the actual cause, in order that by removing or guarding against it we 1 may secure safety for the future. And therefore it must be hoped that means more effectual than those ordinarily available to a coroner's jury will be employed to penetrate the secret. It is a case in which scientific investigation by the most skilful and learned of our men of science presents the only satisfactory means of arriving at a know ledge of the truth, and we trust that the com pany conoerned, or in its default the Govern- I ment, will provide for an inquiry by the most competent persona into the cause of the catastrophe. This becomes the more necessary because attempts to account for the disaster by the ordinary explanation of a mere " escape of gas," are beginning to appear in some of the published accounts. But any explosion resulting from an escape of gas must have been external to the gasometers, and though they might be broken from the ou'aide by its force, it is not easy to see bow they could be burnt asunder, how the thick iron plates of which they are constructed should be rolled up and torn off, and how huge pieces of metal should be hurled through the air by any other cause than an internal explosion of some dangerous compound. Bat bow did any each compound get into the gasometer, and what was it composed oft We know that a mixture of air with gas is an explosive compound, but who can tell us how air came to be forced into the holder of a gas work It is, however, at least not impossible that there may have been compounds of a different character. There are some detonating mixtures which are of power far beyond that of gunpowder, and of the mode of production of which chemistry has not yet fully informed us. These will ignite without application of flame, and with only the moderate amount of beat which friction or shaking will develop. And though they have not, as is lEEE EXPRESS, THUBSDA t EVF 4 I4ING, NOVEMBER. 2, 1865. natural, been sufficiently studied, we know that 0111-1 48 many of them oonsist or elements wliltkus I k ea formed in the manufacture f iii rd (sulphur, and nitrogen lank diegen. 4 In the last few years we i,v4t • 27 1 1 easily some of these peCouo ma in oar tain circumstances be made ; bow cotton may be come more destructive than gunpowder ; and even the innocent looking liquid, glycerine, may be changed into a deadly explosive compound. It has indeed been stated —though we know not on what au thority—that coal gas itself, by long contact with brass, produces one of the most subtle and dangerous detonating substances. And while all these compounds are still involved in so much obscurity, it is perfectly within the bounds of pos. affinity that by some peculiarity in the manufac ture, or some slight difference in the coal, the result was brought about that • dangerous ingredient found its way into the gasometer, and there pro duced the explosion, which cannot at any rate be explained in conformity with the supposition of the gas being perfectly pure. it is not unreasonable, in this state of our know ledge, to insist on at least a thorough scientific investigation. And it is not only the interest of the public, but that of all gas producers, which calla for such an examination. If we fail in discovering any cause, we must secure ourselves by removing the gasworks to some uninhabited region out of London ; and we shall all be sufferers by the enhanced cost which distance will entail. We shall be very ready to accept as soon as it is made any explanation that will account for all the facts. But we must decline to be anis• fled with the Guinn if it is not also a perfect ex planation. Science, which bestows on us so many comforts, =happily also surrounds us with new forms of peril. Some of these she foresees, and warns us against ; but some of them she only finds out herself when the combination of circum stances has at last occurred which develops them. Such warnings are, however, not without medusas to be rejected. What has happened now will, with all the certainty of natural law, happen again w h e never the same circumstances recur. We can find safety only in ascertaining positively what the circumstances are. To leave them undetected, and therefore liable at any future time to operate spin, is to defy nature—a defiance which can but end in a more terribly fatal vindication of her Wank jest claims be egaln ignored, the sooner the liberal party are in opposithia Use better for the true propene( slam.° en. amvaitehi seepten. The at Auburn of Of. Sespetary Sowingl, which etx exclusively in last isis‘lite. d'xprese, 'is inter p by the Times to wen iliatk• . reuse at present rather on the force of example bilge the power of the sword for preserving the republican character of American governmeota. If this piece of information and the other which attributes to the Emperor Napoleon an intention to gradually withdraw the French troops from Mexico arc ea significant as they appear, the way to • pad& settlement Is plain. The Freed' government may refrain from con tinning its army in Mexico. and thus avoid the oar provocation which the American government has directly deprecated. On the ether hand, the Americans may accept what has beets done an an acaoroplishoil fact, mid trust to the coarse of events for bringing about a modification of actual results. The Tian proceeds to contend that it is in Mexico that the pretensions of the Americans to exclusive influence appear moot extravagant and least sustainable. No American can deny that up lie this time, and at this very moments the Mexicans have been large gainers by the French intervention. It will not be for the credit of republic in pricciples to thwart so good • work as this out of spite against the name of monarchy, in which it hue been wrought ; but if the Americans are con tent to rely on the force of example, such an operation of the Monroe doctrine would be beyond impeachment as well as beyond control. The Post regards Mr. Seward's language respecting the Alabama dams as reassuring, and as indicating a oourse of action which by some might be interpreted ra amounting to a concussion. The language as to Mexico, however, is very different. When Mr. Seward &Aares that he ex pects to see • republic where an empire now ells* people are justified in thinking that those with whose Intentions be must be presumed to be acquainted, have resolved! on endeavouring to effect that change. Still, the present is not the occasion which the government at Washington would be likely to select for embarking in anotber war. A distant policy moat be we to a greet extent dependent on the course of events, and may be permitted to hope that, ere the subversion of the Mexican empire is resolved upon, the American people may be brought to regard is • different light the exclusive doctrine of President Monroe. The Star describes the speech as "use of those offhand displays which American statesmen are so frequently obliged to make," and ioterprets the passages about Mexico to be nothing more than remarks on the natural influence which the republican institutioes of the United States must matimearily have upon the American continent. TB! ABTKAINIAN PRISONCRA. In hie despatch on Abyssinian affair, Lord Russell. the niIWS rya, commits himself for the future to principles which neither himself nor his predeossiore have hitherto followed out consistently. The reasons which he gives for sot insisting upon the ratifloatioa of the treaty of 1849 amount to a confessioo that it was a grad mistake to enter tab it. The only thieg now to be done is to get Consul Cameron out of the power of the Kies, and this way already have bra effected by the pacific missies of Mr. Rarer Oar only Abyssinian policy should then be to have no policy in Abyssinia, and no relations with it that car be avoided. Viewed is the light of a defer* or an apology, the Herald eons/dies Lord Russell's dispatch to be ol the I lamest peesible description. He attempts no answer to the charge that a letter mires by the Meg to Queen Victoria I was left unanswered for filter months, and by preferring I to send oat as old Armenian like Mr. Rerun to Dr. Beke, with whom be hastens to pick up a quarrel, hie lordship takes away the last hope of the captives, who, " for ell that Lord Roar' will do, may rot till they die." The Tckgraph is of opinion that Mr. Cameron has him self to blame for his misfortunes. Lord Russell distinctly warned him not to interfere with the rival political parties is the oountry ; but he did interfere. Re wan, in ores- Tones, soundly snubbed for hie pains by the Foreign.oflice ; yes, ia spite of the warning, he would not keep clear of intrigues. Nay, if Theodore is to be credited, the consul paid fussy vista to the Egyptians an./ Turks, and actually denounced him se a murderer. An international congress or some such scheme, as suggested by " the far- ghted statesman who tales over Flare," might bring secni-bar barons wearer like King Theodore within reach of Euro per opinion. To the growth of inteecoures and trade between nations and the civilised world, we must look for the birth of those annum interests sad *prima which are the only safeguards against such outrages as Mr. Cameron has eadured. THE IMPLOYIOII AT NINE-ILIPL The Tines hopes that a very rigid ieveetiption will be °abducted into all the circtumskenoss of the explosion at Niue-elms, for nothing can be more nna•tisfentory then to be exposed to such accidents without being able to understand their censer. It is now quite certain that explosions can occur in or about gasometers which may have the most disastrous consequences. Ueda the belief that we were fres from any such danger, gasworks hive been ooestrnoted in the most central portions of London and it is alarming to anticipate the possible results if such au accident as that at Nine Elms were to occur in ore of these neighbourhoods. If such works must still remain in their present patties', the most stringent precautions should be insisted upon. The Poet questions whether the manufacture of pa is the centre of • large town is • necessity. Even if it must be manufactured within the town where it is con sumed, would not its distribution in a number of small receptacles be less dangerous than its concentration in a single Imp one ? At soy rate, the public safety requires that something should be done, and without loin of time. Tenderness for vested interests may prevent—the Herald says—our urging • measure so sweeping sa the immediate and compulsory removal of all such works to • gives dis tance from tows, but regard for the public compels us to add that this ought to be only a (Location of a few years. The Televraph also protests against the maiotenanoe of each manufactories in the immediate vicinage of an immense metropolis. " Vested interests," which is only another name for the greed of pin, aloe* perpetuate them. NISCILLANTOUS TOPICS. The Daily News tells the Greek government apropos of its objection, as shown in the correspondence between Mr. Erskine and the Greek tdisister for Foreign Affairs, to being admonished ooessionally, that It must really have patience with its friends if they watch with close and eager interest the way in which the popular welfare thrives or languishes under a ?kilns so peculiar as that of the Greece of to-day. Unhappily between the king who has con siderable power, and the people who have a real fitness to live under democratic arrangements, there is alwaye moving a clans of men whose business it is to set the two parties at 'orisons. These office-seekers are ready and willing to mortify and repress the people to any extent necessary to prevent the spending of money in which they themselves have no share. If the king and the people could and would act together on any one m►tter--ay roads, and the attendant drainage —they would presently see the bearings of their whole mu. All needful security for the money is easily obtainable ; the citizens themselves are able and willing to spend on • scheme en reproductive ; and foreign capitalists would com pete with them. Thus far all attempts at these and other improvements have been foiled by the apathy or the bad faith of the government of the period. The Herald, noticing the speech of Mr. Wendell Phil lips, who is said to act from pure selfishness or mad fa natietam, insists that the radicals are helpless to interfere with the polioy they denounoe, and the fate of the Southern States rests in the hands of Mr. Johnson as absolutely as did that of the Southern state prisoners. The Herald further contends, as to the ease of the negro, that oegro testimony is not entitled to the same weight as the evidence of white men, while a proposal "so extravagant and M une" as that of negro suffrage may be put aside u of so poetised bearing. The osinatencement of term to-day and the coming sloe tion at Tiverton, are subjects of leading articles is the Telegraph.

The Daily News is the only one of the mo papers containing any oomments to-day upon suitr.stope's speeches at Glasgow. The Daily News observes of these addresses that they boar the stamp of his new nos:- Hoc. It is easy to perceive that the speaker remembered In each of them that his words would be scrutinised as they never were before. Those who have doubted his proficiency in the min.* qualifications of the tactician will acknowledge now that in prndence and reserve he has not much to learn. The Daily News proceeds to speak of the " moral Weis " which Mr. Gladstone has admi nistered to minds which have become morbid through the too anduaivo luau/game of regreta,by reminding them that there never hoe yet been in the history of the world a nation truly free that has found a want of men to defend its in stitatioos, and that with Lord Remelt, whose name is a pledge and a promise to t he people, the country has reasonable assurance that the policy of British legislation will suffer no injury. Mr. Gladstonis reply to the ad drew presented to him by the Glasgow Reform Union was anch as should encoarage the friends of parliamentary re form and stimulate them to activity. He did not repel the spirit of confidence in which the working dames of Glasgow approached him, bat aocepted it with cordial acknowledge:mote of 'F4111°66014 Throughout the country the friends of reform will understand from his speech that if they want a smear* tarried they moat declare their wishes in the face of the ooentry, to be ex amined and discussed by all, and in the interests of all. Mr. Gladstone is confident that the ultimate result will be a settlement comformable on the whole to pnblio justice. Be promises the unrepresented that if they make their °Liu it shall be considered in parliament as soon as the opportunity arises, " with prudence on the one hand, and with mtnlioces and courage on the other." in order to a " fair adjutment of common rights and common intonate." More than this should not be asked—loam scald not be accepted. With Mr. Gladetone's speech before them, the Bonne to be taken by those who want a reform of parlia ment is plain and clear. THE CAMEL. The " sinecure" of the Dually of Lancaster is the subject of an article in this morning's Times. There cannot be much difficulty in filling up a place which can be held by any man of fair character and position in life; but nevertheless it remains vacant, and the fact calls attention to the office itself. The notion that through the post being free from arduous and responsible official duties, it could be held by • man who would thus be able to give his whole time to assisting the Prime Minister in the management of debates in the House of Commons, is fallacious. In the House of Commons the feeling always is that • de- I p r in t out should be defended by its o wn representative, and 1 that if any further defence be needed the government I should find it In the goodwill and ability of its non-official supporters. The duties of the office might, in fact, be traosferred to the Office of Woods and Forests, to which they seem properly to belong, and another department might be created, the head of which would be much more profitably employed than in the sinecure of the Duchy of Lancaster. The Treasury, the Home-office, and the Foreign office, complain of being overworked; the duties dis charged by the Secretary of the Treasury, who hu gradually engrossed to himself almost all the powers of the board, are larger than his official position in the House of Com mons warrants. it might not be thought too much, con iddering the greatmportance of the subject, should a Cabi net Minister answer for the Foreign-office in each House of Parliament. Or, if such an innovation be thought too bold, there are many new departments, such as the Eocle- I elastics' C001[6 , 41011 and the affairs of the metropolis and its environs, which might be suggested. Enough hu been I said to show that the money now wasted on • sinecure ' might easily be employed in a manner highly beneficial to I the public. The Daily News rebukes the " solemn fribblers" who have been dwelling on the fearful ills that must befall the nation in noes-queue of its late bereavement. If the go vernment were really beset with extraordinary difficulties, this clamour would be useless, but no such difficulties exist. Contentment prevails at home, and we are at peace with all other lands. The preternatural concern that is expressed morning after morning, now for the welfare of the country, and now for the stability of the government, while sedulous attempts ere made to discredis a com biestion from which not a single conspicuous liberal states man is absent, makes the Daily News fear that some body hes been, or sneaks to be, left out of Earl Russell's arrangements. If mich an one there be, a person who would gladly rather see the beet liberal govern. meet that can be formed broken down before it has been 'tried than succeed without his aid, experieace *nuggets that be would probably not be found among those who were the beet and wisest supporters of Lord Palmerston, bat rather among his most troublesome adherents. The country has beard quite enough of these petty personal grievances ; there is important work to be done for all who are willing to do it, sad political pretenders who want office upon any other conditioo must learn to practise the virtues of patience and resignation. I The Star girlie prominent place to a communication from "Au M.P. below the Gangway," who insists that no cabinet will be satisfactory to or merit rapport from "below the Gangway" which doss not include Mr. John Bright, provided be be willing to take office. The writer suggests the Secretaryship of State for India as en office for which Mr. Bright is eminently qualified. "Ought not," be says, "the advanced liberals now in town—whether members or not—to meet and consult how best to give expression to the national sentiment on this important question? U Xt.

L The Delhi, with the above mails, arrived here at 3 p.m. to-day. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MON on on 00111Sorw-__ WIDIIIBDAT ETIOMIO. An extraordinary statement, which I think must shortly be authoritatively contradicted, is made by the Epoque. That journal says that when hereafter the French government sees fit to seize a foreign journal in the post-office, it will assimilate the seizure to a "warning," or rather a suspension, and not allow the journal seized to circulate in France for two months. I remember that early in the coup d'ital days the Paris board of censure tried to exercise a jurisdiction over the foreign preen by operating upon the correspondents here. "Soft slimier" and threats were alternately had recourse to. Correspondents were told that if they would only be moderate they would always be welcome at the Ministry of the Interior, and would receive the latest news, and when this bait did not take they were reminded that the French law enables the government to expel any foreigner with out cause assigned. The correspondents simply went on writing according to their own conscience and judgment, utterly regardless of these foolish menaces. The measure in rem now spoken of would be retrograde in a degree too ridiculous to be thought of at this tune of day. It would do the French government infinite harm in the public . opinion of Europe, and would seriously thwart the character, which, as recent symptoms show, it wishes to assume, of a promoter of peace and economy. If any member of *the government is chuckling over this ingenious device his triumph s will be short-lived. Jurisdiction over English journals the imperial system will never have, land it is useless to attempt to assert it.

Yesterday his Royal Righriees the Prince of Wake, with the Earl of Derby, and the gentlemen of the party now visiting his lordship, were engaged in shooting in the well.stockal preserves of the Knowsley estate. The Princess, with the Countess of Derby, visited the Raven bead ghee manufactory at Si. Helen's. The Earl of Derby and the Hon. E. Stanley left the Prince's shooting party at midday and socompanied the Princess to Einenbeitil. The Revenhead establishment was selected to mein the honour of the royal visit, not so leach on account of its' relative importune as for its associations. It is the eldest rusinufectory of plate glass in England. and it formed • hundred years ego the animus of what is now a system of manufsetories. Score of these have outstripped their prototype in else, and several of them now do • larger buil- Den ;but Rarenhead still regirded as the establishment in which visitors may fled most to Interest asailhaleset.l There is, however, another amoolaldon which probably west far to commend the place to the Princess of Weiss, which I, is, that it was visited by George IV., when Pince of Wales, when he also was visiting at Knowsley. The large hall now woe for testing is the identical building through which the ' Royal party on that casein were condoned. Her Royal Highness the Priam= of Wales, after leaving Liverpool at the aloes of the popular dernonstratios in the town on Tuesday, was present at the dinner and ball at Knowsley °DTl's:4day night ; when, in 'rhinos to the digit. gnished party staying with the Earl of Derby, and the guests of the Earl of Sefton from Oroxteth-park. several ladies and geatlemen of the locality were entertained. The Primes@ lunched with Lady Derby early, and left Knowsley at two o'clock for St. Helen's. The carriages entered the high road between Liverpool and St Helen's by the Eccleston-gate, four miles from St. Helen's, and from this point proceeded slowly over the remaining four miles. The road was bard at intervals with people, who chewed lustily am the Panne passed. The mute cheese nand some di appointment, as it avoided the town of St. Helen's entirely, and this arrengemoat, which was the natural one, and not adopted by special design, spared the Princess the view of one of the most unsightly collections of houses to be seen in the whole of Lancashire. The only general de. mosetratioes of the day on the pert of the town were, the turning out of the population In crowds, the parading of bead. of music and companies of school childree, the ringing of bells, and the displaying of a limited, but saucily choice, collection of bunting. Two local volunteer corps—the Loith L.E.V. and the 2nd L.E.V.—were drawn up at those points of the line most nearly touching the Were, and presented arms es the royal carriage pared. The party reached liavenhead about half-past three o'clock, approaching the manufactory by • long and narrow carriage drive from the high road. Berrien and lines of venation and police marked off the approaches, and prevented the crowd from entering the carriage drive, which is so narrow that the admission of the public would have inevitably blocked itlup completely. The drive was spanned by one or two evergreen anises, decorated tensfully with Saga At the gate of the works, Mr. Sullivan, the chief pro prietor, attended by Mr. Crossley, the manager, was in waiting to receive the party. A canvas canopy, covering • platform carpeted with crinieoa cloth, formed the vesti bule to the large nesting ball, already mentioned. This is an enormous apartment, and manias needy • hundred ovens for tempering gleam. Here their royal bighorns were shown the process of making rough glees pots and cylinders ; and a large plate of glass, which was in course of bring tempered in one of the ovens, was taken out, and exhibited to the Princess. The royal party occupied • crimson covered dais, in the centre of the casting hall, while then and other pro misees were explained sad illustrated by Mr. Sullivan. Before pulling to the other parts el the works a pot of red-hot metal was brought from one of the funning, poured upon as iron table, and rolled into • plate. The royal party was then conducted into the smoothing rooms, where about 100 women and children were at work, reducing the rough sultan of the plates to smoothens by friction; then through the apartments in which the grinding, polishing, cleaning, and staining wen dose ; and lastly, into the silver ing room, where her royal highness had the opportunity of seeing a sheet of glass converted into a mirror. The party left the works by way of the green around which ere the hones occupied by the officers, and here the workpeople were assembled to see them. About 300 women and girls wore neat white and pink striped jackets, which had been furnished by the proprietors. The assembly formed, perhaps, the most interesting feature of the day. The workpeople cheered the Princess lustily as she left the building and returned to her carriage. Her royal highness and party then returned to Knowsley by the way by which they had come, leaving the town amidst the acclimatises of the crowds assembled on the outskirts to witness the de- LAW INTELLIGENCE gins DAT.)
