The gun was well sponged out, anrete ula ta2 ridge rammed home by two lowarmed, muscular fellow' (Ounnen Pell sad Pena) ; in short, it is the opinion of the instructing sergeant that the work could not have been better done. We rebel ipon the fact of the ball reaching within a short distends of the target as one of the most important pooh that could be catered of the proper loading of the gun. The gun, in compliance with the re gular practice., wee thoroughly examined, or " 'earthed" according to the technical phrase, both by the Royal Artil lery and the Volunteers, and several rounds had been dis charged from the same piece before the explosion took place. It is supposed that the gun must be nearly sixty years old, the date of its companion piece being Itlad. It is not thought, however, that the pun was at all unsafe by reason of Oa years, it being the practice to condemn ordnance, not as account of the length of time it has been cast, but by the degree of wear it boa received. The supposition that the °barge had got displaced is put to eight now that the elevation of the gun has been ascertained. It ap pears that it was pointed at degrees, an elevation sufil dent to prevent any chance of displacement, although such an occurrence would have been quite within the range of possibility if the elevation had been less decided. Some of the escapes appear to have been little short of miraculous. Mr. J. Stilwell, solicitor, who was the lieutenant in charge of the gun which exploded, was standing within a few feet of it, and one of the pieces struck the ground • very few feet distant from him, tearing up the earth, and covering him with mud and dirt, but inflicting neinjury. Mr. E. R. Rowell, Mr. ItiPoreter, jun., sad several other volunteien, also very narrowly escaped from accident, We are gird to state that the sufferers are progress* favourably. Mr. 0411ll&n, whose arm was fractured, s quite conerions, but, singular to state, he retains not the faintest recollection of the terrible necurnwee. Mr. Ramie remained le a very critical state yesterday; but confident hopes are given of his recovery. THE CASE OP THE JOURNEYMEN BAKERS. On Saturday evening a crowded meeting of journeymen bakers wee held at Baseez-liall, leedenhall- Amok for the porpoise of receiring the report from the ex entettve of the Joeneraen Bakers' A asociatioo of the revolt d meeting at seder bakers which took place on Tesr day bat, at the London Tavern, respecting the demands el the men to have their boars of labour limited to twelve aday, sec ly, from 4 o'clock in th e morning until -- al° ll 14 I Mr. 8L11C1111032, the President of the Journeymenltakere Association, having been voted to the chair, stated that they had assembled to consider the courte which it we. requisite fur them to pursue. It was clear that they had nothing to expect from the masters, and that, as Lord fihafteslany had told them long ago, they mud, la • great measure, depend ou their owe efforts for the curl ing their movement to a muccessfal issue. (Hear, hear.) r. JOHN Barimm, the corresponding secretary of the amociatiii; reported that on Tuesday last a resting of MOW bakers was convened by the association at the London Tavern, and ins presided over Ly Lord Ebury. The meet ing was convened by circular, and was attended by 150 to 280 master Wan, while about 206 contmunindkns had been received frees those who could sot attend adhering to and erprosiog their readiness to concede the iisamods pat forward by the man At the meeting the proposal to rectum the hours of labour to 12 hours per day, from four o'clock in the morning till four iu the afternoon, was put in tho form of a resolution. It was met by severed amendment; but was ultimately carried. At the commencement of the operations of the amociation they gave out that mural suasion was to be the means by which they were to maims their demands. To that coarse they had hitherto strictly adllere4l, and sea test of its efficiency they had convened this meeting of mastery at the London Tavern. How far that meeting will go in omibming them in the propriety at the mune they had hitherto adopted would be for the Illsgto judge. i tnitma moved, "That this meeting of operative baker,, having heard the refusal of the recent masters' noseting, do consider that all diplomatic relations rewarding • volwitary arrangement with th e emp l oyers should be ithmdosed, aid that nothing short of a complete organise ties at the men, followed by • strike, will be competent to being the 12 hours movement to a sucomedul issue." (Cheers.) Mr. 1101BUItil 'wooded the resolution, and Mr. Romm moved am an amendment "That instead of a strike they oaks application to parliament for • 12 bows hill," which was seconded by Mr. LAIDLAVI. After • lengthened discumaion, the chairman took the seams of the meeting on the resolution and the amendment, when no show having been made for the latter, the rase lutioa for a strike was carried unanimouslzid .r amid lunch applause, the generally expressed opinion that the men tors would do nothing, and that to enforce • demands the men must have recourse to extraordinary measures.

Id., as simmered with the corresponding period of 151 W. This increase has been chiefly derived from the coal and good+ traffic ; and the directors have every reason to believe that the passenger traffic receipts would have shown inure than their ustml progressive improvement, had it not born for the extremely unfavourable weather during the spring and summer. The director* have expended • large sum during the pan six months in renewing the permanent way, and they have carried the whole of this outlay, viz., 4,287 f. 3e. 11., to the debit of the revenue account.

Of these, and of his statement yesterday, be said nothing. His had is remarkable from the singular flatness of the crown. The twat police are of opinion that the prisser is, to some extent at all events, deranged, and imagine that the perusal of the newspaper reports of the ocoursoos has so worked upon his imagination that he has been in deiced now to declare himself the murderer. His story is certainly a most improbable one, and is at moist entirely uncorroborated. The popular prejudice in this town, how ever, is unwarrantably so Feat against Mr. Kent that an thing reflecting upon him is received with favour. policemen who brought the prisoner down are sanguine as to his being the actual aseassin, and are already feasting their ideas on the promised reward. Superintendent' Foley end Woolf, however, say they have discovered • clue pointing entirely in another direction, and prams to have no doubt as to the speedy unravelling of the mystery. Another correspondent writes, that the prisoner beim heeded over to the charge of Goodson, parish constable of Wolverton, _ a mason ' s rule and trowel, • pocket-book, • pawnbroker's duplicate and • halfpenny were found upon h*, together with sums rough draught., which the pri soner said represented a plan be had invented for making Wake without hand labour, and for which be mid he in. leaded to take out a patent. Some spots of blood were gingered epos his tossers, to which his attention was failed, and be said it was human blood, and afterwarda that M was the blood of the chill. When before the Rev. Mr. magistrate at Stoney Stratford, he mole a stair meat in which he declared that he was employed to mur der the child, that he was to have • pound fur the job, but that he was not paid, and that he was now tired of his life, ea wherever he went he saw the child before him. He also stated that it was at first proposed to bury the body in • hedge near the garden,but that it was enbasepiently determined to throw It down the privy. Before leaving Wolverton the police sacertaised that the prisoner bad given away a knife, a tobacco box. and • pipe, to three different pennons. They seseceeded in discovering sad obtaining the knife, which proved to be a common deep knife, and on the way to the station it dropped from the bundle in which it was being serried, and was at once recognised b' the prisoner ea being his property. He made several wild statements to the Gibers to the effect that he bad walked night and day after the murder till he reached Loudon, that he then left Loudon, act wishing to lies his wife and three children, and pro ceeded to Leicester in scorch of work, that finding be could get none there or at Wilford, or Notba be meditated suicide by throwing himself on theZety and letting • train pun over him, but that he altered his mind and came to Wolverton, where he resolved to give himself up. He also made some inquiries as to whether Miss Oensithee Kant could be " triedagain, and whether the wassieg nightgown had been found. He gave a tolerably accurate deemiption of the house in which the murder was committed, and seemed familiar with the leading facts of the owe ; but in the opinion of the police all this intones'. ban may have bees derived from the newspapers, the local Journal. having made capital of the affair by giving views of the house, he. Further to show the inconsistency of the prisoner, another correspondent informs is that upon one of the magistrates entering the room, the prisoner asked an officer standing beside him "if that was Mr. Kent ?" and upon his reply isg, "No ; don't you know Mr. Kent r he said, "No ; I never saw blm in my life." Since he hes been locked up ho bas also complained much of his head, saying it is too big for his body. He has also said that he wants to get rid of his life, and asked if the Liaises were on, laying he hoped they would hang him, though he had not committed the murder. • I ...

Thu plea of insanity is definitely fixed on (says the Obserter) by the friends of William Oodfrey Youngman as the one to be used and relied on at his forthcoming trial for the monstrous offence with which be stands charged, and they lose no opportunity, since his oommitrnent fur trial, to speak of several of the family who have been confined for, and died from insanity. At first the malady was said to be confined to the father's family, and it was mentioned that thegnuid father of the smutted had been so adlicted, and actually died while insane ; and now it is added that he has inherited the complaint maternally, his aunt, that is, his mother's sister, having died at Peckham Lunette Asylum. Whether this be true or false, it is quite clear that, neither in his manner ewe his apprehension, nor in the numerous kitten which his had addreseed to the unfortunate young woman, Maria Wells Streeter, is there the slightest indication of a disor , dared intellect. From the inquiries made by the police, it appears that it is four year" since be first met Maria Streeter, at Lewisham, when they were fellow.servaids in the establishment of a gentleman named Hadley, and though lie had then professed souls affection for her, he made no offer of marriage, or men of love; on the contrary, they parted iu the ordinary way, and it is quite certain that from that time until the 18th of June last lie had neither seen nor beard anything of her. The declaration of the young woman who was present at the het examination, which decimation is capable of legal proof, shows he nut only professed violent love, but was about to be married, to another in February, 1859, and was only prevented from carrying out his inteatann by his apprehension and coonction of felony for stealing his master's plate. About the middle of June last the premier called on a friend of Miss Streeter, at Lewisham, and ex • particular theirs to have her addrees, but her d, who never entertetual any great opinion of theyouug men, at first refused to let him know anything of her whereabouts, and it was only on" his assuring her that he "knew of something considerably to her advantage." that she gave the address of a gentleman in Hyde-park-gardens into whose service she went after leaving Lewisham. lie at more proceeded to the house of the gentleman indicated, and having there again impressed a great anxiety to see her, to coniniuuicate smoothies to her benefit, begot her oddest's.

The barley especially is reported u much beaten down, and this grain must of course suffer iu quality. The supply of wheat was very short and holden commenced by asking higher rates, which millers were very unwilling to submit to, and consequently_ sales were slowly effected at fully last Saturday's prim. Of barley the supply was also scanty and the trade nominal ; oats sad beans are Arm. ROCHEMII, ACCONT 11.—There was a rather increased supply of wheat at this corn exchange, but the con dition of much of it was affected by the long-continued damp weather. At the commencement of the market farmers and hoidens began by demandiog le. to 2s. advance on the currencies of last week, but this checked business, and scarcely a single to inaction took place. Later in the day holders had to submit to a slight decline to effect sales of the inferior sorts, but prime samples maintained their values. The trade in barley was of a merely retail character, and prices were the same as thaw of last week. Oata were dull without any change in value, holders refusing to glee way. There was scarcely anything doing in beans and peas. The cold wet weather we have experienced bee seriously affected the hope, the bine of which in moot placer; looks weak and unpromising. The duty has receded to 100,0001., at which figure even there is little speculation. WIADECkI, Avuusr 11.—The weather ail] continues very unsettled.

HABDWARS—Brannunme, AUCIIAIT 11.—The trade of this town is in anything but a satidactory state ; orders freer all quarters and in almost every branch of our nudes are small, not only on account of the foreign, but also of the home trade. The latter is much affected by the unfa. wearable state of the weather, u the country ehopk in anticipation that a bad ha rvest may lead to • de. pm/non in trade, will not make up stocks of goods usually hi demand at the fall. The wnsequence is that the menu. &darer' have few orders on their bookm, and it is with difil. salty that the artisans are kept working average time. Many of those who are employed out of the manufactories ere badly off for work, many of them not making more than half time. In the adjoining district business is langui d, except as regards the iron trade, in which there is a shade more activity.

This is mainly accounted for by 252,068 additional train miles having been run. The repairs and renewals of car. nags end waggons have caused an increased outlay on revenue account of 3,2581. 6s. Id., • portion of which stun has been expended in improving the second class carriages. The directors are sorry whine to report that so large a sum has been paid fur compensation an account of initu les sus tained by pusengers ; but the accidents to which these minute are attributable were not caused by any defect iu the permanent way, or in the machinery of the locomotive department. With regard to the parliamentary procealiu„n, the bill for a rail. way from Diameter to Wakefield, promoted by them, was rejected, as were also two bills oommouly know a by the name of the " Arningoiuent Rills," for petheinently settling the competition with the London and North Wes. tern Company. A bill hes been paned for making a second junction with the M etropolitan ltailway, on the western side of the company 's property at King's-cross, the before mentioned eastern brunch at Maiden-lane admitting only of a single bile. The coiporation of London having obtained an act for the formation of a dead meat market in Smith field, ready access thereto will be secured by the Metropo litan Railway, which will have a branch running into the market. Fresh meat from Scotland and the northern counties, u well aa from the Cattle market at Copenhagen-fields, will be delivered in Smithfield market without change of vehicle, by the use of the Great Northern and Metropolitan lines. An extension of the Clurthan and Dover line to Furringdonatreet has also re. ceived parliamentary sanction, which will connect the line with the Metropolitan Railway, and a direct railway route through Loutlou will be thus secured between the northern districts and the south of Ragland and the continent. Clauses wore inserted in two bills promoted by the Rullaud Conn any for powers to coustruct a station contiguous to the King's-CrUlls station, and to use the North London and other metropolitan liner, for the protection of the Great Northern Company.
