EXPLOSION OF 41 POWDER MILL. Ainut mime minutes before seven in the morning FlidAy Litt, tie corning house of the gunpowder nok , , b.longing to JO UN HALL, Esq. at Ore. near Faversham, containing about 12 barrels of powder, ilew• up with .a tremendous explosion, levelling in gantly every part of the building to its foundation, Ind spreading the many timbers in every direction. kt the moment of the explosion there were three men mployed therein, whose bodies were literally blown D piccrg, and the scattered fragments of their limbs Wad at considerable distance. from the spot, in a late so mutilated as to defy the power of recognition. rheie names were, Thomas Wanstall, aged eighteen ;ears; J.hn Robinson, forty-five; and James Phil ott, twenty-four, the latter has left a wile and child E-w.ol his late. Had the accident happened ten lr twelve minutes sooner, its consequences would have ►een more fatal, as Mr. Johnson, the overseer of the mks, and five other persons, were in attendance at he hulloing, removing ten b.arrels of powder. The INA' and mill of Mr. ASUILNDIN, at Ore, received a ewe shock from the concuasion of the explosion, and d most art the windows broken ; the windows of ret.4l other houses at Ore, were also partially frac- red ; and the effect was also extended to Faversham, pilthough a suite dist•int, where the windows of sere. ral houses wete similarly injured. The sound of the txplosii,n was beard in Use direction of the wind, which , stas easterly, for nearly ten miles. The last accident Df this nature in' the vicinity of Faversham, was on the 16th January. 1810, when the corning house, Nb. I, of the Royal Powder Works exploded, killing wren men and four horses. Friday, as the Ramsgate coach was entering Dover,' ar the Three Porters public•honse, in St. James's et, the coach being heavily loaded, was unluckily erturned, whi n a lady, one of the outside passers rs, unfortunately had her ribs broken. The son of a labourer, named Ingram, at Carlby dge, near Stamford, was poisoned on Wednesday y rating the berries of the nightshade, which the y mistook for plums; and he lies, in consequence, ith little hopes of recovery. A poor. woman of the name of Jennings, residing %It berhubband and family in one of the small cot ges off the Edgeware road, opposite sq Cern/te rcet. hiving a sick child, went to an. apothecary's 'up in the neighbourhood for advice and medicine, here she received a bottle of some kind of stuff, two as full of whiCh she was , rdered to give the child. her return she administered the medicine as or wed, and likewise gave a spoonful of time same mix ture to a child she had to nurse, the consequence was, at both the children died in less than an hour after ds. The bodies have been opened, and the su ltan is of opinion they were poisoned. Sanuday last.

An Inquisition was taken yesterday before Hulas- Lewis, Esq. Coroner, at the Bear, in Bear -street, Leicester-square, on the body of Thomas, son of Mr. Richards, et Cecil -court, St. Martin's.lane, who was I burned to death on Monday last. He was about two I years of age. He and another child were playing by the five, ao person being with them in the room, "ken the deceased's clothes caught firer-Verdict— Accidental Death. Between three and four n'clock on Saturday morn in, an alarming fire broke out in the dwelling-house t Mr. ROSENT HANFORD, frame-smith; top of the Battomstreet, Tewkesbury, which raged with such fury that the whole of the interior, as well as the fur niture, was completely destroyed, before the names 'Quid be subdued ; and had it not been fur the timely and spresuous exertions of the inhabitants, who Promptly arrived with several fire-engines ; the White Lion and King's Head Inns, with several other boil- Cgs, must inevitably hive been destroyed. We lortent to say, that the mother-in-law of Mr. Hen.

These ll aces commenced on Wednesday last, when the sweep• stakes of sgs each, le Subscribers, with Wigs added from the Fund, was won by Mr. Calley't ch. h. Osman, beating the Duke of Beaufon's b. h. Mortimer. Mr. Willies ch. m. Feima, Mr. Fvaos's ch m. Lady Byron, Mr. Walker's br. b. Alexander, and Mr. Farqtiharson's b. g. Garet. Never was finer runtiihg : there were four heats, and the race was woo by Osman, in the ntost contested style. The Members' Plate of £5O was won at two heats, by Mr. Farquharson's g. h. Grey Marquis, beating Mt. Veveres c. m. Lady Byron. The first heat was won by only a head. Thursday, the £5O Plate given by the Comity. was won at three beats by Mr. Halktt's g f Euryone, beating Mr. Walker's b. g Non-Conductor, Mr. Farquharson's b. m. Meg Merriiies, and Mr. Hill's c. f. Melanie. This race was finely contested; the first h.:at was wen by Non. Conductor, by a length; the two last by Euryone, won by half a head, and the other by half a length. The Handicap Plate of £5O given by tbe Tow.' of Monmouth, was won at two heats by Mr. Farquharson's Carus, beating Mr. Walker's Alexander. Ihe first heat was won by a length, and the second by ball a length. The weather was most propitious for the Meeting, and never had Monmouth to boast of such a brilliant dig lay of rank and fashion PEDESTRIANISM. 2Augsrir commenced his fifth day's task at Bayswater yester day monolog at half past four o'clock, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, the old boy hal finished 36 mile*, and was then jog ging on, having at that hour, from his commencement on Thurs day list, gone 231 mile* in the whole. GAUP who is performing his eztraordi ti ary task at the top of Upper &key -street, New Road, completed 611 miles, on Mon day evening, at ten minutes past eight o'clock; be started on his second day's task at sis o'clock yesterday morning, and after 1 1 resting two hours and three quarters in the whole of the day, he had, a: flee o'clock In the afternoon, performed forty miles, and was then proceeding on. To-morrow morning WATERLOO Tom is to run a distance of SO miles in nine hours, for a wager of 100 guineas a-side. The ground arpointed for this evraordinary and unparalleled trial of speed, is near Bayswater, going out and in a distance of three miles and a half. Odds ate Sto It agst him. A young man named Ishoouom, undertook to walk 100 miles In 26 hours, on Leaden•heath, Essex. He commenced on Tues- day morning, and having before shown considerable powers in pedestrimism, opinion Was generally in favour of his getting through the task; but after going 25 mUes in five hours, he began to fall off, feeling extreme stupor and drowsiness, insomuch that he resigned the undertaking when he bad gone only 44 miles in 12 hours. Two medical men have ►ince given their confident opinlon—. l4 That Nicoison's failure was owing to the effect of some deadly narcotic," and which is supposed to have beta art. fully administered. BOXING. The ,second battle between frogging and Tenter took place at Shepperton Point yesterday, for 150 guineas aside (on the same ground where Randall beat Belasco) in a 32 feet ring, after many false notices had been given, which scattered people about in all directions. Some of the Commissary department re ceived a note, purporting to have come frets a Ma gistrate (Mr. Parente), forbidding the battle to take place there, and the cavalcade was met at eleven o'clock by a messenger, anoculicing the unwelcome news, and that the ring would be formed a: Monkey Hurst, whither the cavalcade repaired on each side the water helter-skelter. Here, and ire Hampton, hundreds remained in suspense, until another mes senger reached Hampton, between twelve and one (o'clock, stating the Magistrate's interference to have been an hoax—and back again wept the majority of the group, whilst others, tired as well as their horses, remained stationary, as it was even betting that Scroggins did not intend to fight. Sense of those who did return to the ring had another trick played off upon them, three quarters of a mile on this side the seat of action, by a board tbus—" This is Me road to thehlti." It was, however, two miles round, and this was managed for the Walton-bridge" toll, the owners being desirous of a pull as weil as others.— Turner was in a coach in the ring before one o'clock, but Scroggins did rot make his appearance fur mole than an hour atter, when he was fetched. It was '2 19 1, current betting, that be would not appear; and when he did, two men were stripped, and were just in the act of setting-to when they were put on one side, and 'the heroes tor the Jay's diversion en.Lred and stripped. Betting to 1 on Turner, but no takers. Seconds, Owen and Paiute: for Turner, and Jones and Spring for Scroggins. The Commanding Officer of all the miller:, who can lead the ring with as great facility as a favourite hustings orator can command attention to hit speech, not being present, it was a long time before the ring could be brought to any regularity. The men at length set-tn. Kovno 1. Much manoeuvring took place for first hit, and after nearly three minutes sparring, during which 1 utuer drop. pad his mini by his side and retraced his steps to the set-to scratch, to let his adversary know that Le should not 41km, at length both hit out together, and closed. Both weut down.— &togging threw, but Turner fell on him. There was no nib chic( done. 2. Turner pkeed a light hit over his adversary's guard with his right band, and another on the chest with the left. it smart rally hallowed, but Turner's caution gave bi►n best, and he drew ant blood from the now. Both down again in a close. ➢etting to g on Earner. 3. Scroggins hit his adversary with 111 right band on the throat with his favourite rush. A rally followed, and bunging slipped, whets be received a hit on the bead in going down. 4. Turner repeated his right-handed blow upon the mouth, and Mt the body forcibly with his heft. Strout:is made a deter mined right-banded hit at his adversary's ear. which slanted by the bead, and was spoiled et its effects, Turner missed his return `blow, and both wept down la a chow S. A famous rally was commenced by Scroulos, who covered his head and got safe in. After exchanging counter bits, they broke from each mbar and convened together. in renewing the rally Smeggins received hks en the bead and body, which were repeated. Turner was thrown. S. Snagging bad much the worst of this round, and was thick winded. Turner get his heed under Itio arm, and made much havoc about his face, and when tired of it, he threw Mnuelf down, and gave Semolina s son of 'menet upon thitfrout of his mug, which made a masterly finish of him. 7. Sangho received a smart left.banded hit In front of the Am, as straight as an arrow, and be returned with a heavy right beaded blow open furner's jaw, winch set it chattering. A rally followed, in which Boogies sh owed much determined fighting, bet be was unfortunate' in lashing his bits. and Turner broke ground, and received bins with much coolness. Several clumsy bows were exchanged, and beroulas was thrown, or at least be had the weight in throwing, but turner maticetiv;ed as usual in going down, was to have the best of the fall. This was about the most equal round in the light. L Turner, mole very line parries of Salinities' two bits la going.in, be was run &int. Al. Sr:togging ran Ithnself dawn by Turner avoiding hint. 10. kremlin made play and got in with lashed covered, and placed a goud body hit upon fuser's breast, which was returned' by bitting up under the chin. Bolt down in a close. 11. Turner did severe usseu.ion In this round, by placing* straight blow on the mouth with the right hand, and hitting up der the Adam's apple, as se termed (the protuberance in the throat), by which the light was taken out of berogging early in Mg last battle with hint. He rattled the chin and broke elegy. Scroggins followed, and was very severely punt bed, but be plant. ed a good body blow, and both were at leng:b down. Smuggles was covered with bleed from the nose and mouth. ISt. Suatt hits were esebanisd, but 'I urpor 14 led plastid a heavy bit upon the forehead, which cliaucaltd tla hese. tibll ' quivered k, as i, okra sera la Crinuddrs tricks. Scram - Bs ran In and was thrown. _ _ 13. Scroggins fell front a light hit. 14. Turner had now brought his adversary down rotas aright, and was whining at leisure, saving accider.t. lie stopped all Scroggins's efforts by admirable parries, and fought upon thr re. treat l.ke a Cribb, until he brat I is adversary's head into stiipii dity. Scroggins maintained Is ferocity until rimier WA tired of hitting him, and both went down weak. Betting 10 to I Turner, who bad not bled, nor was there appearances of at 7 material blows. 13. Counter blows ware each exchanged, and Turner mad: two other hits, and then went down. 18. Scroggins made drsperaie play, but equally unsuccessful, a: Turner retreated, and hit him six ulows, when both went down. It would be tedious to the Reader so panic: drive every round of so much sameness, and therefore we proceed to those which Worded an opponunity of remark, for Turner had her. reduced success to a certainty without a chance hit, and the strength of hitting was gone by. In the 18th round Turner bad as much of his own way as be couki wish, and he began to make play. At the end of the round the poundage was offered in vain. The 19th was a reserve tor wind with both ; and the Sloth was of a sameness with the in.h, with this difference, that Turner worked at Seri ggins's head un der Its arm until he was tired. In the gist, tenser made ex pert parrie s , amid fi nished the round with a decisive body blow. In the 23d, 7.croggtits, !rum dl.tress,imitatid Turner in dropping his hands to his sides, when Turner rushed in, and convinced him, by two heavy hits, he was not so is be trifled with. 111 the 24th round, Scroggins received about tea hits, but *I inner was very fatigued with giving. Tim 25th round produced the only knock down blow, ii is may be termed one, in the fight. Turner received Scroggiu,'s left hand upon the neck, and he went down upon me Walla and one knee, which is considered down, so as to make it foul to rrike. &togging was nearly blind, besides several cusittistout. He fought oat tin the 43.1 round, when Cribb went to him, Amd advised the secuuds to take hint away,as be had nu chance. .'liter lighting another round, the Champion renewed his wheats 11111 l , and alter lighting 4 rounds, In one hour and v 9 ininuti s, 3croggins muttered assent Is resign the combat ; and thus lost hi, lame not invincibility. This battle has set two questions at rest : the first of which is, that Scroggius fought to win his former battle with Turner which has often been disputed ; and, secondly, that he has proved himself a eery game man s which some had disputed. That lie never was a scientific boxer has been long since known, but h;s strength and courage vanquished all before him, until chance threw Turner in his way. The strongest proof that he could nut get at him as he has done at others, has been shewn upon two occasictis; and this demonstrates clearly what science, whet; managed with temper and coolness, can do against so engtii and resoitition, providing the heart be in :he right pl ice. Turner parried the dreadful hitting right hand I f his opponent, and returned upon hint at leisure, saving himself.—he scarcely had his hands from his race a minute during the whole fight ; and what with think mg brand; (which Scroggins resorted to in the mid dle of the. tight), and continually receiving about the bead, he was drank from the 20th round. We scarcely ever recollect seeing a man worse punished. He was taken off the ground to an inn at Halliford, and put to bed. Turner went to bed at the Anchor, at Shepperton, tired enough of the gymnastics of tt.t. day. Randall challenged to fight Turner on the ground, when it was supposed Scioggins would not :hew. A match will no doubt be made. One of the ships with Officers on board to assist the Spanish Patriots in South America, sailed on Monday from Portsmouth. The Fair at Teignmouth, on Tuesday seinnight- WAS very numerously attended ; the concourse of per, sons being more numerous than was ever before known, which evinces the increasing population of that delightful watering-place. A number of va grants, who make a practice of resorting to these revels for the purpose of begging by day and stealing by night, were committed by the worthy and active Magistrate of that division, and the day, instead r f being muddled away in drinking, was passed as well As agreater part of the night, in dancing, four ball rooms being appropriated for that purpose. At Barton Fair, on Mond ry last, the strew of cattle WAS smaller than we have been used to see at this matt, and more particularly of fat ones, there being very few or scarcely any brought; useful stores were sold at better prices Oats .-of late; the sheep fair was pretty well supplied, and prices higher. Pigs that were fresh in order for pork and bacon sold well. There were a great number of horses, but of very in ferior sorts, and the sale extremely dull. The quan tity of cheese was unusually small, and prices much higher. Two meal from Us. to 481. and best mak iag trim 48s. to 601. per cwt. Onions sold at 3.. per peck. Several of the fraternity of pick-pockets attend ed durvig the fair, and, we are sorry to Sid, must have made a tolerable harvest. One person had his pocket-book stolen containing about £l9O, and seve ral other depredations of interior value were commit ted; the thieves escaping without detection. At Shrewsbury Fair, on Wednesday and Thurs day, the assemblage of lean cattle was great, and the sale dull; of fat beasts there were but few, ave. raging 51d. per lb. and these had a quick sale. The supply of sheep was excellent, and the sale brisk at 6d. per lb. pigs also found ready purchasers. There was a good average quantity of cheese, which sold well—prime old qualities scarce ; best new, 50s. to 60s. per cwt.; common, 40s. to 455. Of butter the supply was good— leis. 6d. per gawn of 121 h.; bacon, Bd. per lb. Ocr. 7.—Business at oar Cliffe Fair, on Thursday, was not so brisk as at the late new Fair, even at reduced prices, and especially at the latter part of the day, when ewes experienced a drop of full 2s. per head. The number penned did not ex ceed ten thousand, and the attendance was rather limited. Fat stock at our market on Tuesday, and at that of Hailsbam, on Wednesday, was dull of sale, but the prices, nevertheless, looked upwards. The sale of the Mock of Mr. Mounts, of Rens comb, near this town, en Friday last, attracted a ' very large attendance, and, among the company present, we observed some of the most celebrated flock-Masters. The superiority of the sheep afford ing a striking proof of the very great advantages which are to be derived from a strict attention to the improved breed ; and to demonstrate the fact, we need only state the . prtces at which they were eagerly bought up. They are as follow :—Two-tooth ewes averaged at 651. one lot reached 84s•—Four-tooth.. 725. 6d. the highest lot 83s.—Six-tooth, 645. 6d. one lot 76. Full-mouthed, from 40s. to 60s. Ewe lambs, from 30s. to 544. —A six-tooth ram fetched re 32. Ios. A most respectable farmer in the parish of Urr,bas this season, from a field of one acre and a half (a great part of which is interspersed with rocks, and entirely unproductiee),_reaped the astonishing quaa• ttty (It J&S Vratchtster budiela of euelient COM EXCIbINGE, MARK-LANE, OCT.& Fine new Wheat fully supports Monday's prices, the quantity At market being small. not having any froth supply this morning; hut there is very little de. maw: for old, the prices ut which are fully as high as cm Monday for prime samples.—Fine Burley meets ready sale, but not better terms than nn Monday..•. Old Oats sell freely at rather better price. SCO Fs BOROUGH REFORM. An event has lately occurred, which will form as era in the Burgh Systern or Seri land—a new Consti.. lotion has been granted by the Pat ‘ce Rtnavr to the Burgh of Montrose, by wh;cl) t• e electi m of the Ma. giblr att'S is vested in i habitant burees:es and members of the incorporated I , Ades at Large. This is an event, the importance of which is tent to be measured by its immediate effects, w ich are •.f little moment, but by its Ulterior consequences, a-hich, re trust, sill he great, and not tar distant. Alter what has been achieved at Montrose, it will n•sw be a re. proaoh to the inhabitants of the other Burghs it they acquiesce In abuses which it is in their power to re medy. There are upwards of sixty Burghs in Scot , . land, in none of which can it be truly said, that there is any other security for honest an 1 fair condect to the management of public concerns than• what is afforded by the private virtue of individuals, who ire under no responsibility to these for whom they act, and whose situ ation holds out perpetual temptations to political prOfigacy. ABERDEEN, the bankruptcy of which has presented the public spirited with an opportunity of being use. tul, is likely to he disfranchised; and there is every reason to hope that this burgh will also obtain a con stitution, better calculated, than it has been, to secure the public interest and welfare of the community. In ARBIVIATII the inhabitants have recently dis► played as much desire of reform as those of Montrose; the Magistrates have also conducted themselves with lib 'rality; And the old and new Deacons of the Trade's who from time itnmemorial have had the privilege of naming .t C,nvener, who is ex did, a Conncillor s yielded to the public feeling, and at the election for th's year, convened the whsle members of the sercral corporati , ms, and appointed the convener by a mak). lay of votes. In DUNDEE the old party have mcceeded in the elections; but the system has been so boldly, skilfully, and amply tooted, that it mg be considered as van . finished. _ . In PAISLEY, as appears by some recent Rt;sulutions, the inhabitants are determined to mainta,n their rights, and regain what of them has been Lai. Then- strut.. gle commenced more than a year ago; and although their Magistrateseudeavoured to prevent the metiiuro which wets held tin the .5!11 of July, 1816, from taking place. and tried to inanceqvre them out of a recent meeting, this'conduct had the effect, as P. g.neriliy and naturally has, of rendering the inhabitants more ivatchtul, and stimulating them to greater exertions. They seem to unite knowledge with temeerance, and we have no doubt, therefore, of their ultim , te success Sinister designs, we trust, will no longer prosper our northern burghs; and if Magistrates wi.uld make this part of their creed, they would never tail in ses curing the respect and attachment of their fellow. citisehs. Miss Braze. of the Dublin Theade, is engaged at Drury•lane Theatre, and will make her first appeal= ante in the character of .idela, to the Opera of Tilt .Haunted A requisition having been presented to the High . S4eriff of the City of Dublin, signed by 34. Noble. men and Gentlemen of All denominations and political pArties, requesting him to convene a meeting of Si County, to take into consideration an Address to his Escell.:ncy Earl %'II►TWoITH, on his retiring from the Government of the H►gh Sheriff ap. pointed x General Meeting for that purpose, to be held At Kilinrinham, on Friday last. The Emperor of A tisrlitA has grabted, to four communes of the departmen: of the Cote d'Or, the sum •f 4,3(10 francs, to indemnify the inhabitants for the losses they sustained by the presence of his troops there in 1 .•.15. The Merchants of Augsburg have caused to be executed by a goldsmith ut that city, a beautiful sta tue, of massy silver, three feet in height, reptr:enting Marshal Prince Wasoe on horseback, and in the war. like costume of the ancient Germans. It is intended to make a present of this statue to the Prince himself. Tuesday se'nnight, the foundation-stone of the Rev. GEORDE BARING'S chapel, in Exeter, was laid, when a great number ut per ons assembled to witness the same. The speech of the Reverend Gentleman, though short, was very appropriate to the occasios. The intention of cutting a canal from Newcastle to Carlisle is strongly supported by the Earl of Lome. DALE, Sir JAMES GEAHAM, of EdmonJ Castle, and Mr. CURWEr4 I and the project is likely to be soon cawe vied into execution. Among the improvements making in Hyde Park, is a waterfall from the East end of the Serpentine River, which will descend between the Willow, into the piece of water below. In addition to the Vice-Chancellor's Court, and the gas-lights, there is now erecting a species of piazzz from Lincoln's Inn H4ll to site Vice-Chancellor's Court, which will enable'the B.'rtisters to go from one Court to the other in all weathers, while it adds to the beauty of the buildings. This piazza, and the improvements connected with it, will be completed in readiness for the November term. Tms NEW ROAD. —This communication between the Western and Eastern ends of London, was nos formed, without sonaidersblc difficulty. The Bill upon the subject was- brouglst.into the House ct Lords in 1756. The Dukesot Bitneono strenuously opposed it, as likely to Interrupt' -his prospect from Bloomiss bury-square by new buildings. The late Duke of Gaarrou supported it. Lord ARRAN was brought into the House to take the oaths, who had not been there before for several Sessions; so was Lord HA a-• AINGTON from a sick room.
