An inquest was held on Saturday evening on the body of the unfortunate man, James Buckley, who was killed by the fearful boiler explosion at Fenton park Furnaces on Friday morning. Mr. Lawton, one of the proprietors of the works, was present, as also was Mr. Wynne, her Majesty's Inspector of Mines, who attended at the request of Mr. Harding, the coroner,' with a view to assist the jury. His knowledge of the working of machinery, and of the results of the explosion, enabled him to render some material service. The first witness called was Samuel Emberton, overlooker of the furnaces and shops, who stated that, to the best of his belief, the machinery was in good working order up to the time of the explosion. There were two blast fur naces on the works, one of which was out. Two engines, coupled together, each of 40 horse power, were used for blowing the furnaces, and these en gines were supplied by four large boilers, all of which had been repaired within the last three months, and all were at work on Friday morning except one which had been 'let out for the purpose of being cleaned. The boilers were close feeding, and each provided with a safety valve, a tap for regulating the supply of water, and a whistle. Ex cept that one of the whistles was undergoing repair he believed the whole of the three boilers at work were in good working order. Witness went to the works on Friday morning at 5 minutes past 6 o'clock and found Buckley, the night engine tender, waiting for him. He had some conversation with him, and then left, returning in a few minutes to the smith's shop, about 20 yards • from the engine house, when the explosion took place. No. 1 boiler was thrown about 50 yards in a north-easterly di rection, and appeared to have struck the furnace which was out, and swept it completely away, the boiler being nearly doubled up and broken. No. 2 boiler was blown between 300 and 400 yards into a reservoir, but was not greatly injured except at one end. No. 3 boiler was blown to atoms, to a - distance of 400 yards, in different directions. No. 4 boiler rolled over about 14ft., and broke to pieces. The engine was going at the time witness was speaking to Buckley, five minutes before the explosion. After the explosion witness heard a groan from among the ruins of the engine -house, and in about a quar ter of an hour Buckley was dug out dead. Witness thought Buckley must have let one of the boilers get mu, as it then appeared to have been heated without water. He saw no indication of anything being out of order when he went to the works on Friday morning. He had heard that the self-acting float in one of the boilers was broken, and if the boiler had been short of water and the whistles in good condition, he must have heard the whistles sound.—George Berks, the day engine -tender, said he went to the works a little before six on Friday morning, when Buckley told him the boilers were all right. The engines were going slowly, and deceased was oiling the valves. The extent of pres sure on the gauge the day before was 401 b. He heard the whistles of Nos. 1 and 2 boilers blow the night before. No. 3 boiler was not quite full of water when he left on Thursday night, but it was safe. He thought the explosion was caused by some of the boilers being empty.—The coroner said there seemed to have been a dereliction of duty on the part of the deceased, an opinion in which Mr. Wynne concurred. Mr. Wynne added that he had examined the boilers, and he could find no flaw in them. The parts which had gone were not the weak parts, but the suddenness and force of the explosion had torn up the plates like paper.—The jury immediately returned a verdict of accidental death.—Mr. Wynne subsequently .alluded to the frightful havoc caused estimating the value of by the explosion , which is unparalleled in its conse quences so far as the district is concerned, and agreed with Mr. Lawton in the damage done at little short of SPORTING NOTES. The programme for the Lincoln Meeting is one of the most attractive that Mr. Ford ever issued, and, no doubt, will attract a large number of visitors. There are five items in the list for to-morrow, the most interesting of which is the Trial Stakes, in which thirteen horses are en gaged, the weights of which stand thus : Age st lb Libellous Eastern Princess 4 8 7 Ducat 4 8 Poolthorue Coral Brahmin Dusk Age et lb St Bernard Anxiety filly 3 7 0 Senior Wrangler 3 6 13 St. Lawrence Weatherden 3 6 13 Catty Queen colt 3 6 13 The top-weighted Libellous, with his 101 b penalty, can have no chance; but for Eastern Princess I entertain the highest respect, as last year she beat Malta and Ducat at level weights in a common canter over the same distance. Ducat has an allowance of 71bs, which makes his chance look formidable. Brahmin, Dusk, Anxiety filly, and Weatherden have all been backed, but I will look for the winner in either Eastern Princess or Ducat, the former for choice. There are twenty-five entries for the Brockleaby Stakes, viz., eighteen fillies and seven colts. As it would be useless to speculate on this race before the numbers are up, I will merely throw out the hint that an investment on STRAW BERRY HILL and DIRT CHEAP may prove remunerative. In the City Handicap Ducat is again engaged, but I expect he will be reserved for the Lincolnshire Handicap, or he could not lose. Willie Wrighfriother of the old horses, is also favourably handicapped, and in the absence of Ducat I award the preference to him. In the Grand Steeplechase my preference is for DURAL LOW and PINEAPPLE, The Lincolnshire Handicap has an entry of 57, b e i ng seven more than last year, but the handicap appears to have scarcely given so much satisfaction, as already nine Flash in-the-Pan, a have been struck out.

T he number whieh o has f t y h :t e e- beenyr - o ld s scratched, now engagedwhich, s 5 only one .of however, , scarcely shows that their owners are satisfied with the weights ap portioned to them, as the conditions require no declaration of forfeit. Ariadne now occupies the position of first favou rite, but on what grounds I really am at a loss to know. Last year she was out of all form ; and never having known a case where a mare having once lost form ever returned to it again, I am bound on the present occasion to oppose her pretensions. Suburban has been labouring too much under the metallic fever to receive favourable notice from me. Should the money be all right on the day o f th e race he will be difficult to beat. Ducat is again engaged here, and ought to hold all the young ones safe. Zuleika, lam told, has had a bad night. Walkington ran second to Ben bow for this race last year, and is well worth backing fora place, if he does not turn out the actual winner. The un fortunate Brown Stout, who was to have won the St. L eger last year, has made his appearance in the betting. Th ose who have anything to do with him will have cause after wards to congratulate themselves on being " done brown." From the above remarks it will be seen that I prefer the chances of DUCAT and WALKINGTON. The Hurdle Race should go to the owner of Northern Light. . . For the Liverpool Steeplechase my fancy, at present, is Thomastown. and The Huntsman., as it would not surprise me to see The Dane struck out before the day of the race. Old Calabar looks a certainty for the Two Thousand, but I prefer Buckstone to him for the Derby, who will see a much shorter price before many weeks are over. In the Newmarket Craven Meeting Sir Joseph Hawley's Derby horse Argonaut will have an opportunity of entering the lists against Old Calabar. Argonaut has an allowance of 41bs., and ought to defeat Old Calabar easily to have any chance for the Derby ; but I think Sir Joseph has a better horse in Duke Rollo, who is also engaged in the Biennial Stakes, and ought not to be lost sight of, as he only ran once last year in an unprepared state, and just suffered defeat by a short head from King of Hearts.

An excellent system has been inaugurated at Portsmouth for the safe and comfortable transit of officers and men between the ships at Spithead and the shore, by order of the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce by which one of the paddle steam tenders belonging to the port will go between the harbour and Spithead three times a day. On coming into harbour, instead of the men being landed in watermen's boats at the charge of ld. or 2d. from each man, arrangements have been made for the steamer to go alongside the dockyard jetties, whence the men can disembark and embark with out any danger and without cost. Hitherto a gunboat has been appropriated to attend on the ships at Spithead, but such a vessel has been found of little service ; and, in fact, men who left ships at Spithead in a waterman's boat arrived, generally speaking, on shore as soon and at as little cost as those who took passage by the gun boat. 'Besides this, constant accidents have taken place, owing to the officer in command of the gun boat, whoever he might be, being ignorant of the peculiar set of the tides between the harbour and Spithead. Altogether the new system may be characterised as a practical reform, and will be fully appreciated bythe7,ooo cfficers and men now lying on board her Majesty's ships at Spithead. The men discharged from the Emerald and Shannon at Spithead, under recent regulations, have been placed on board the Blonde hulk in Ports mouth harbour, under command of Lieut. J. B. Michell, of the Victory, and are to be employed for the present in the dockyard, receiving check money. The 120-gun three-decker Waterloo, which has been converted to an 86-gun screw steamer and fitted with engines of 500 horse power, since which she has been attached to the steam reserve in the Medway, is to be brought forward for immediate commission. It is understood that her name will be changed to the Conqueror. The:Waterloo was for many years the flagship at the Nore, and on being altered into a screw steamer had one of her decks removed, and was also lengthened. She is now one of the finest vessels of her class belonging to the navy. Capt. C. F. Schomberg, who has been superinten dent of the steam reserve at Chatham for several years, relinquished that appointment on Sunday, and left the Cumberland, 74, guardship of the steam reserve in the Medway, to take command of the Edinburgh, 60, 450 horse power, coastguard ship at Leith. Prior to leaving Capt. Schomberg was entertained at dinner on board by the officers of the ship. Capt. Thompson, the newly-appointed superintendent of the reserve, took the command the same day. The hired transport British Star has arrived at Woolwich,and commenced shipping Armstrong guns shot, and shell, for Jamaica. The Princess has also arrived from Gibraltar, laden with 600 tons of re turned war stores.

IHE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The rush of goods into the building has not yet commenced. The most remote of our colonies seem to be the first in the field. St. Helena followed close upon the goods from Liberia, and on Saturday the collection from Prince Edward Island was de posited in the French Court, and yesterday that from Newfoundland. These latter, of course, con sist entirely of colonial produce, but, among other specimens from Prince Edward Island, is one which may be fairly called a wonderful natural curiosity. It is the largest and longest spar that has ever been seen in this or any other country. That at Kew Gardens, 190 feet high, was thought to be the lar gest single stick that was ever seen, but this gigantic pole from Prince Edward Island completely dwarfs it, being no less than 240 feet from end to end. Placed straight on end by the side of the Monument it would overtop even that lofty column by 38 feet. Of course, it cannot be put upright as it ought to be in any part of the building itself, and, as leaving it on the ground would be simply to lose all its beauty of proportion, a good suggestion has been made to erect it, supported by guy ropes, as a monster flag staff in the centre of the Horticultural Gardens. It will be a work of no ordinary difficulty to rear this spar on end, but in order that there may be no excuse about its not being seen to the fullest ad vantage the colonists are themselves sending over a party of riggers to hoist it on whatever site they may get. Certainly the colonies seem all entering into the spirit of the Exhibition with a zeal and enterprise that almost outstrip the manufacturers of the mother country. Canada is sending a very fine collection of goods and produce, while Austra lia will be represented by a really superb exhibition, and its Government has given £lO,OOO towards de. fraying the expenses of sending it over, and setting it out with proper effect. Among other curiosities coming from Australia is a wooden obelisk, dead gilt on the outside. This column is nearly 70 feet high and some 10 feet square at the base. It repre sents exactly the bulk of gold which Australia has sent to this country since 1851, and which in all amounts to nearly 800 tons. The base of this column will be surrounded by various specimens of gold quartz from the different reefs, nuggets, alluvial gold, washing-cradles, &c. In the depart ment of machinery in motion will be a quartz crushing machine in full work, and for the supply of which a cargo of gold quartz is now on its way to this country. In addition to this most charac teristic obelisk, another of grey polished granite is coming from Scotland, from Mr. Sims's works at Glasgow. Both the form and the inlaid gilt orna mentation in the sides of this are exceedingly beau tiful. This is to be erected in the centre of the nave at the eastern end. At the western will be Mr. Bell's beautiful obelisk commemorative of the Ex hibition of 1851. At the base will be allegorical figures of the arts and sciences in bronze, and, be- neath all, fountains of water flowing into a marble basin which surrounds it. There will be many beautiful trophies of this kind in the nave, on both sides, and as fast as the painting of the roof pro gresses, and the great travelling scaffold is moved lower down, the work of laying their foundations is proceeded with. Elkington is to give a very beau tiful trophy, and so also are Kerr and Binns, of the Worcester Works, both firms doing this in addition to their ordinary exhibitions in the side courts. There are to be plenty of fountains ; in fact, in this matter there seems to be almost a superfluity. The great firm of Minton is preparing a most beautiful one in china, and there are two very fine and large ones of east iron from France, for which it seems our neighbours have positively no room in their Court, so that they are going begging for a place anywhere. Room somehow or other will be found for one in the nave, but the other must go to the Horticultural Gardens. The first picture came in from Switzerland on Saturday, and the first English goods in the shape of two superb marble washstands with mirrors from Mr. Jennings, of Holland-street. The nave is nearly half painted, and much of the rich effect which it will have when all is done can now be realized. It certainly comes out remark ably well. The greater part of both of the transepts is also finished, and the scaffolding is being pulled down as fast as the beams PR1CE.....-..4d. STAMPED ....sd. can be drawn away and sawn up for flooring for the northern courts. The latter are nearly all floored, and the gallery which will give access to the refreshment-rooms from the building is being rapidly finished. The domes are nearly glazed in, and the work of decorating the eastern one was begun on Saturday. The designs for the adornment promise to be rich and appropriate in their effect, though, in consequence of both domes being no w completely filled up with scaffolding, Mr. Crace labours under the disadvantage of not being able to judge of the effect of anything till the scaffold is down, when the mistake, if any be made, will be beyond recall. As far, however, as can be judged from small designs for such a vast interior, the ge neral tone of the colours adopted appears to be all that can be desired. It is necessary, however, that the painting of these domes, like all the rest of the works, should be hurried on with the utmost pos sible rapidity, for the dome scaffolds have yet to come down before the nave can be floored or the daises at each end erected, and the removal of the scaffolds alone will occupy the best part of three weeks. There is no concealing the fact that the works are getting behindhand, and this from no fault on the part of the contractors. There was a dreadful rush of business during the last few days preceding the opening of 1851. But the work, though done hurriedly, was at least done, for of the total of 20,000 English packages only 182 were admitted to the building after the Ist of May. It is hop ing against hope to expect that the same will be done for this display. The French Commission ers are already very busy in mapping out their splendid Court, which will be one of the gems of the building, though rumour has much exag gerated the sum which it was said to be spent in its decoration. They depend almost entirely on the effect which their goods will produce ; the mere decoration of the Court is to be with them a very secondary consideration. They have obtained permission from the Commissioners to enclose their whole Court with partitions reaching from the basement to the first gallery, and from the first gallery to the girders beneath the springing of the nave ribs. This ;permission was absolutely ne cessary in order to give them hanging space for their papers and carpets—but the Commissioners at the time they gave this boon, with the utmost impartiality, allowed the English and all foreign Courts to do the same. Sheffield this year must look to itself when it enters the lists against its German rivals. Krupp's steel works at Eissen, in Rhenish Prussia, have gradually attained a world wide celebrity for the almost military discipline which prevails there, and for the extraordinary steel castings it turns out. Only two or three years ago scientific journals contained accounts of the manner in which the almost impossible feat, as it was then considered, of making a piece of cast steel weighing 11 tons was performed. But Krupp will send to the Exhibition this year one piece of cast steel weighing no less than 21 tons. Ten years ago the manufacturer who talked of making such a casting in steel would have been thought little short of insane. On the other hand, as a set-off to this, our porcelain manfacturers are likely to hold the supremacy - they have lately comers, and Kerr and Binns, of the Worc ester Works, Messrs. Minton and Copeland , wil l each in their various branches of ornamenta l and useful works, prove over-matches for al l that Se v r es or Dresden can do. gained against all The condition of :the roads immediately around the building is attracting the serious notice of the Commissioners. The traffic of heavy materials of all kinds during the winter has cut them into deep ruts, which extend below their very foundations, and has worn them into such holes as to be almokt dangerous during the night to light traffic. It is said that nearly 30,000 tons of road metal will have to be laid down to prepare them for the continuous traffic that will be going over them in the summer. But, as this matter is now, we are glad to say, being taken in hand energetically, it may be considered as almost virtually settled. Not so, however, with the road across the Park. After months of discussions, deliberations, inspections, and delays, the final settlement seems now more remote than ever. In the first place, it was proposed to get the parishes to effect the work, but, as they could not agree, they would not do it, so the Board of works was tried, but they could not. Parliament, it was known, would not give a penny, and thus at the very outset the plan would have been nipped in the bud if the Society of Arts had not, with the utmost liberality, come forward and offered to raise on debentures the sum necessary to make the road. With this offer Mr. Cowper immediately closed, and it only remained to decide on the course the road was to take. The Society of Arts recommended a temporary one, and the Chief Commissioner of Works obtained the assent of the Crown, without reservation of any kind, to a road across Hyde-park to Kensington. The committee of the Society of Arts agreed in the importance of not interfering with the ride in Rotten-row, and suggested to make use of the existing carriage road from the Victoria gate to the magazine ; to use the present drive over the bridge ; to pass through a short tunnel under Rotten-row, and come out at a temporary gate op posite the Exhibition-road. If it was necessary to widen the existing road the cost would not be great and by a little modification of the railing on the Serpentine bridge a separate track could easily be given to the riders. The only disturbance to public interests would be the temporary introduction of public vehicles over a small portion of existing drives in the park, and it was not doubted th at what her Majesty has been p leased to tolerate .ently in front of Buckingha m Palace would b e patiently endured Hyde-park during the time of the Exhibition. The works for a temporary road thus proposed by the Society of Arts were esti mated to cost less than £6,000. But the Chief Commissioner of Works preferred a permanent road, and the Society of Arts offered to becote the medium for raising the money (£30,000) necessary to make it. Accepting this basis of negotiation, Mr. Cowper at first thought of making a road down the ha-ha between Hyde-park and Kensington gardens. For a time this plan was the favourite, but the idea was soon given up, and in turn Mr. Kelk's road, Capt. Fowkes's road, and Mr. Pennethorne's road were each examined, and for a short period adopted. Any one of these last three routes would have met all questions of con venience, cheapness, and avoidance of interference with the ride and drive roads. But within the last few days the Chief Commissioner of Works threw them all over, and decided on a road of his own. This enters Kensington-gardens at the Lancaster gate and issues out at the Coalbrook-gate near Kensington-gore. The route is intended to be taken along the Broad-walk, which is to be obliterated and sunk 14 feet for the passage of the traffic, and, in fact, destroyed altogether. This road practically cuts Kensington -gardens completely in two, and if it is adopted with a view to the subterranean rail way passing under it hereafter, the effect of the two tunnels will be to so drain the soil as to kill half the trees in the Gardens. When this plan was proposed to the Society of Arts it was found that not only would they not consent to raise any money to mai m it, but that those who were willing to take h t thee same de bentures would mu ch more gladly spend amount of money in opposing the whole plan to the very utmost. 'That the House of Commons will ever consent to the formation of a road that cuts Kensington•gardens in two, that is so far westward as to be a mere strip of thoroughfare having no com munication with any of the great metropolitan chan nels of tra ffi c, and is withal the most unsightly an d expensive route, i s not thoug ht probable for a moment. The real mischief lies in the fact that no other plan will be considered until this has bee n , definitely thrown by which time it will be t oo late to carry out a ny for the opening of the Exhi bition. But Mr. Cowper has pledged his word that IN EWSPApER 740th.i... c,-\ ..., 2 :,-. .6 i ,z lithe permanent road. is not ready by e" May he will give a temporary one across thet4arka to be used during the Exhibition. So that, after all, it is only those whp ride and drive in the parks who are likely to be the real sufferers from the de lay caused by his present mosiiinpopular and ill judged selection.—Times. ROMAN GOSSIP. A letter dated Rome, Feb. 20, says :—ln the midst of his troubles, spiritual and temporal, Pio Nono retains a sufficient dose of attic salt in his tem perament to allow of an occasional sally, even at the expense of his own situation. A learned Roman advocate, charged with- the compilation of a volu minous legal work on behalf of the Government, a sort of digest of decrees and decisions, has been for some time in the habit of presenting to his Holiness each new volume of this work as soon as it issues from the Stamperia Camerale or Papal printing office. The circulation of this work was important before the Church was bereft of its fairest provinces, as every commune in the States was obliged to sub-- scribe for at least one copy ; but now the restricted boundaries of the ecclesiastical dominions afford but a limited number of contributors to the publication. A few days ago the advocate went to the Vatican with the last volume in his hands, and had the honour of presenting it to the Pope. His Holiness opened the book precisely at the ominously headed chapter, "De Molestiis," and immediately ex claimed, "Signor Avvocato, I shall read this chap ter with great attention and int - el — Tat, in order to find out the legal remedy for the many and grave molestations (melestie) to which I have been lately subjected." " the. _ • advocate with condoling ascent, *l-fear, - -ffaViour troubles cannot be alleviated - by such, tribunals as the Rota or the Segnatura." " Perhaps not,," - returned the Pope, smiling, "for our situation is certainly .critical, but, after all, people fare a great deal worse elsewhere than in Rome, and we are spared many of the horrors which are everyday occurrences in Milan, Bologna, Florence, and espe cially in Naples !" His Holiness has evidently been led to believe that out of the Eternal City all is anarchy, license, and bloodshed ; but different ac counts are brought by travellers arriving from Palermo and Naples, as well as from the northern provinces of the Italian Kingdom. Meanwhile, to prevent anything - like anarchy or bloodshed in the ensuing Carnival, the Governor of Rome has de cided that theeight days' festivities are to be solem nised without the exhilarating accompaniment of masks. People are not usually inclined to make fools of themselves without some disguise or other, and, consequently, from this circumstance, and from the Political agitation prevalent in the city, the Carnival of this year is expected to prove a fiasco. But, whether good or bad, it will be witnessed by thous - ands of foreign spectators, for forestieri are crowding into Rome in immense numbers, and British subjects form the majority of the travellers. They Anglican extra mow chapel affords too limited accommodation for the whole of the congregation, and if it were the custom for Protestants to kneel likei Catholics outside churches and chapels when fu4 within, the ample crinolines of our fair countly wobaen would reach half-way up the opposite Villa BoOhese. +. portion of these erratic beings l afw the Carnival, and it is expectedt_ that vvii the d i l P o e n r g s s N ou ap th les will wards a w ff i t h rd ed t - h fo e opening m a rapid of mode the railway railw t s ut o ,n th , a a t n t a he s y ie m ily ay d conveyance aYo Vesuvius, Pws uracihnigeveLernotm, and return to Rome by! Easter. THE QUEEN OF NAPLES. I la the course of last autumn a turret-shaped di dem, emblematical of Gaeta, was presented to th Queen of Naples by a number of English ladies. We are enabled to publish a copy of her Mtajesty's reply : 'Noble Ladies,—lt could not be otherwise than. Otteful and very agreeable to me—the precious eft which you have been pleased to offer to me, t ' e thoughtful delicacy that suggested the design o r it, and the flattering address which accompanied it , and in which I observe many of the best names o the noble aristocracy of England and of that g nerons Ireland ; both types and exampigs of 1 yalty end of constant devotion to the august Sovereign who so gloriously sways their destinies. In not separating from my beloved husband, who po bravely contended for the holiest rights of his eople and of thrones—in choosing to share with lira, even to the end, the privations and perils of a ong siege—in dedicating myself to the best of my ability to alleviate the sufferings and the pangs a so many gallant men who fell victims to their luty, their unfaltering fidelity, the love of their King, and the independence of their native country fn a war the most unjust, I did nothing but fulfil the sacred duty of a Christian, a wife, and a Queen. Happy that I am if, in so acting, I have been able to deserve the regard of minds so noble, and of hearts so generous as yours. Constrained now to live far from my adopted country and from a soil to which so many dear affections bind me, and which I so much love ; .wounded to my very heart through the fratricidal and ruthless war, which spreads desolation and terror over the most beautiful region of Italy, it is some comfort to me at least that even in that fa voured England, where so many calumnies have been spread, so to deprive a just but unhappy cause of the potent support of public opinion and of an enlightened Government, there are not wanting noble hearts that were moved by an unmerited mis fortune. -, That thought will tell you better than I could express how sincerely grateful I am, and how very dear to me has been this spontaneous testimony of affection and of sympathy among the many others with which it was sought to honour in me a Royal calamity borne with resignation, and not without courage. Receive, then, my thanks, one and all, whose names shall ever remain engraved on my heart, and believe in the sentiments of my entire affection. Rome, Sept. 21, 1861.
