MONEY MARKET. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for money does not show any increase and the rates remain without alteration. The withdrawal of 700,000 sovereigns from the Bank of England was effected yesterday—the largest amount ever taken out in one day ; but the event has failed to produce any material effect upon the quotations. The return to appear to-morrow after noon will exhibit some important movements, and it will not create surprise if the directors should find it expedient to increase their terms at an early date. The 700,000 sovereigns sent away from the Bank of England yesterday wee on account of the Turkish Loan, and will be transmitted at once to Con stantinople. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited very little alteration ; the rate on Hamburg was rather lower. Gold is now about 3-10ths per cent. nearer in London than in Paris, and 2-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The Copenhagen, from Australia, has brought £54,000 in gold. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rai'.- way of Canada, for the week ending the 9th inst., amounted to Y. 9,226, against £7.750 last year. The dividend warrants on Chilian 4,4 per Cent. and Russian 4* per Cent. Bonds have been an nounced for payment. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was again very quiet, and prices were without altera tion. The sales were 3,000 bales. The appeal from the Irish Courts to the House of Lords, in the case of Eyre v. the London and County Bank, was heard yesterday. The matter had reference to a dispute in some of the estates of the late John Sadleir. Judgment was given in favour of the appellant. The defendants, the Lon doa and County Bank, provided against this con tingency at their last annual meeting by setting aside the full amount claimed, viz., £l5 400. A call of £2 per share becomes due on Friday next on the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway sew shares. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock Market opened this morning with an appearance of increased depression, and a further decline of 1 per cent. ensued. But the de preciation has had the effect of inducing a few buyers to come forward, whose operations have led to a partial recovery. Consols have been 931 d for money, and 91i 92 less the dividend for the ac count. They are now 93'-1 and 921 respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced are flit at 911 1 ; Exchequer Bi!la, at 14s. to 17s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 235 and 2361; and India 5 p r Cent., 1091- Foreign Securities show very little alteration, and the dealings have been to an average extent.

Great Westerns and South Easterns have receded 6 8.; South Westerns, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. ; and Caledonians and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 15s.

THREE O'CLOCK. Consols, Money Ditto Account MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very moderate, yet the trade was in a slug gish state, at barely Monday's currencies. The show of foreign wheat was somewhat extensive, and all descriptions moved off heavily, at drooping prices. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms. The trade for barley was very dull, and the quotations ruled the turn in favour of buyers. Malt sold heavily, at about previous quotations. Fine oats were firm in price, but the demand for inferior parcels ruled inactive, yet Monday's rates were maintained. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur rencies. The flour trade was dull, yet no further change took place in prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.. Whet. Barley. Malt. O ats. English ..Flour. "80 ' -- !

The following bills were considered and or dered for third reading :—Caledonian Railway (Leith Branches) ; Eastern Counties Railway and other Compa nies Amalgamation ; Mid Kent and Addiscombe Railway; South-Eastern Railway (Tunbridge and Dartford Lines). The Lynn Valley Railway Bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented from licensed victuallers in different parts of the United Kingdom in favour of the Sale of Spirits Beer Bill, and from other bodies against the sale of intoxicating liquors. HIGHWAYS BILL. Sir G. GREY said he thought it right to state that as supply would come on to-morrow evening, and would in all probability occupy the house till late, he would not proceed with the bill until Monday evening next. On that evening the Scotch Education Bill would be the first order of the day, and he proposed to plac3 the Highways Bill second on the list. If, however, the first order of the day lasted any considerable time he would not press the High ways Bill that evening. SALE OF SPIRITS BILL. Mr. W. MARTIN, in moving the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, said the object of the mea sure was to modify what was known as the Tippling Act" passed in the reign of George IL When that act was passed tippling was carried on to an extent of which in the present age they had no idea, Gin was then sold at the corner of every street, and the object of the framers of the bill was to prevent scores being ran up against half drunken men on the backs of doors of publichouses. The bill proved effectual, and he did not wish that debts should be recovered for spirits drank on the premises. His only object was to prevent the existing law from being perverted to an extent that was never proposed by those who patronised that measure. Having read the preamble of the Tippling Act, which set forth the object for which it was framed, he said he intendtd by the present bill to enable wine merchants to recover for two gallons of spirits supplied at the house of a cus tomer. He quoted some cases, the particulars of which had been furnished him by correspondents on whose infor mation he could rely, and which ahem ed that people in the most respectable station of society were not ashamed to plead the Tippling Act to defraud those whom they were honourably bound to pay because their demands were just. He said that his bill was framed in accordance with the re presentations of some of the most respectable persons, ana the sole object was not to promote intoxication, but to pre vent a class of honest tradesmen being cheated. (Hear.) Mr. AYRTON moved, as an amandrnent, that the bill should be read a second time that day three months. He founded his opposition to the bill on the ground that no necessity existed for its introduct'on. The bill lroposed only to deal with gin. Now gin was an innovation, and came into this country after the Dutch Rev lution, being, he believed, the only drawba.dc to that political event. He read the statements of some of the authorities of the City who presented a petition to the house in the reign of George IL, which led to the passing of the act which it was now sought by this bill to repeal. After a short discussion, The House divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading Against Majority The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 18th of June. JUDGMENT LAW AMENDMEN 1. 1 BILL. Mr. WHITESIDE, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that some centuries back an Act of Parlia ment was passed which enabled a creditor to look to the moiety of land for his debt. In the reign of George 11. another act was passed which enabled a creditor who had obtained a judgment t 3 assign the same, which led to a great deal of litigation. There was also the disadvantage that the owner of an estate could not sell any lora= of his estate as long as there was any judgment hanging over it, however small the amount. Having ad verted to different committees which considered the subject, and the legislation which had been attempted in reference thereto, he drew a►tention particularly to the bill introduced by Sir John Romilly, the Master of the Rolls. By that bill it was proposed that no judgment should operate as a lien on land, and that.it should not have any effect after the sale of the laud. The judgment must have been registered in order to entitle the creditor to claims against the estate. The learned author of this bill, by the latter provision, intended that the creditor should claim against only a portion of the land. However, that failed, and it was found that the creditor frequently claimed against the whole estate. The object of the present bill was to alter the state of the law in Ireland, and assimilate it to the law of this country. _ _ Colonel FRENCH thoughlthat the bill if persevered in should be referred to a select committee, some of the mem bers of which should be selected from landed proprietors who were interested in the subject. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL said that he had con sulted the Lord Chancellor of Ireland and the law officers in that country, and as they were opposed to the bill, he trusted the houso would consent to his (the Solicitor- General's) amendment, namely, that the bill should be read a second Rime that day six months. The right hon. gentleman then went through the different statutes that had been passed on the subject, and said that the bill of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Whiteside) proposed to take away ell csoottri(: voLlUt the otwteto iab pv. s . n t wave to the holder of judgments or land. He reminded the house that by the act of Lord St. Leonatds an alteration had been made in the law relating to judgment debt s on land in this country. He read a letter from the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, stating that the bill would do away with all that wholesome I.egialation that up to 1849 had been effected for Ireland Mr. LONGFIELD supported the bill, and contended that the law in Ireland was in a most unsatisfactory state. Mr. SCULLY said that it was most desirable that the law of the two countries should, as far as possible, be assimilated. However he objected to several of the details of the bill, but he advocated its being referred to a seleet committee. Mr. GEORGH and Mr. HENLEY supported the bill. Mr. HADFIELD cot sidered that a bill should be brought in to do away with the law of judgment altogether, and he did not think that the present measure went far enough. - Mr. M'DONOUGH said that the law in Ireland was most unsatisfactory, and he thought the Irish Government should have brought forward a bill on the subject. He thought the most advisable course would be to refer the bill to a select committee. Mr. MONSELL said that he would support the second reading of tho bill provided he agreed to refer it to a select committee. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL denied that the bill would effect an assimilation of the law between the two countries, and even if it did accomplish that object, thelaw in England was objectionable. Mr, WHIT ESIDE replied, and The bill was read a second time, with the understanding that it was to be referred to a select committee. DEBENTURES ON LAND (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. WHITESIDE moved the second reading of the bill, and explained that its object was to allow a person who had obtained an indefensible right in the Encumb ere d Estates Court to have a right to mortgage his deeds or deben turee to the value of one-half or one-third of the money for which he purchased his estate. It might be said that facilities would be afforded to spendthrifts to raise many, g but he believed persons of this description would not be in ittanoed by'whether they raised wor,o, cheap or dear, 9 quoted the authority of Judge Hargrave in support of the bill as well as that of Xx idge Longfield, The SOLICITOR? GENERAL considered that this bill, and another on the 3 same subject by the member for ('ork (Mr. Scully) as well as that already read a zecond time, should be referre , I to the qame select committee. Mr. V. SCULLY said that he was bound to support the bill of the right hon. member (Mr. Whiteside), because its principle was identical with that bill which he (Mr. Scully) introduced to the house. Lord NAAS considered that the principle of the bill was objectionable. It was not shown that there was any specific evil which required the application of ameasure like the present. One of the evils that resulted from the operation of the Encumbered Estates Court was a jobbing in land, which would be increased by this bill. The great majority of gentlemen who possessed land in Ireland were not in favour of this bill, and thought that there were facilities sufficient to encumber land without increasing them further. Money could now be obtained on land in Ireland at 41 per cent. Mr. POLLARD-URQTJHART was in favour of the bill. Sir F. HEYGATE opposed the bill, and said that if these debentures were allowed he believed they would ultimately pass into the hands of low attorneys, a class in Ireland who frequently had money to lend. If this bill passed it might increase the value of land, but that increase would result from the competition which would take place, and would therefore be of no permanent value to the country. Mr. H, HERBERT, as being connected with land in Ireland, viewed this bill with some alarm, and after the passing of the Encumbered Estates Court, he regarded it as a retrograde measure. Col. FRENCH supported the bill. The bill was read a second time, and referred to a select committee. INVESTMENT AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES BILL This bill went through committee. CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL. The second reading of this bill was postponed until Friday. DISCHARGED PRISONERS AID BILL. This bill was postponed nail next week. LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLEMENTAL BILL. This bill went through committee. LAND DEBENTURES IRELAND BILL (MR. SCULLY'S.) This bill was read a second time and ordered to be re ferred to a select committee. The house adjourned at 10 minutes to six o'clock. EXTENSIVE .li , TP hI, ROBBERY. This morning information of a robbery of the most extensive description, was received at the metropolitan police stations. Thm robbery was committed by two men, who entered the premises of Mr. Mendell, of 121, Regent•street, representing themselves to be gem buyers. A large quantity of jewels were shown them, and, after their departure it was discovered that they had abstracted the fol lowing property, substituting for them imitation stones:— 245 diamonds of the first water, various sizes, weight 651 carats ; a small parcel of diamonds of the second water, various sizes, weight 25Z carats; two emeralds (pure) weight, 61 carats (one diamond shaped single cut, the other octagon shaped, double cut); and one emerald, 3-k carats (oblong shaped, the back of it single cut). The first man spoke German, about 50 years old height, 5 feet 10 inches ; wore a brown wig ; a small grey moustache; dressed in dark clothes and hat. The second said he was an American ; age 45, height, 5 feet 11 inches, stout ; hair and whiskers black, sun-burnt ; dress, black cloth suit and hat. A reward of £lOO has been offered for the cap ture of the thieves. The property stolen is valued at near £l,OOO. POLICE---THIS DAY. isIARLBOROUGH.STREET, THIS DAY. CLEVER CAPTURE OF PICKPOCKETS.—Joseph Young and Charles Henry Clermont were charged as follows : Sergeant Charles Cole, 23 C, said he was in Regent street the previcus afternoon on an omnibus, there being a great crowd in the street in consequence of the Japanese Ambassadors being there, when he ab-erved the prisoners very busy. He got down and watched the prisoners, and saw Clermont stop by the side of some ladies and put his hand into the pocket of one and take out a purse and give it to Young, who took some silver from it and put it into his pocket. He also observed Clermont put his hand on a gentleman's watch chain. He look the prisoners into custody, and on searching Young at the station he found 7s. 6d. on him, and in Clermont's coat pocket a purse was found, and in his trousers pocket another. He had seen Young in the company of thieves, and he had also some knowledge of Clermont. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners. • THE NEW ORLEANS PLUM: (From Punch.)

The following protest has been addressed by the lonian Legislative Assembly to the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands:— "FIRST SESSION OF THE TWELFTH PARLIAMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE lONIAN ISLANDS. " PROIEST AGAINST THE PROTECTORATE. " Whereas the sth article of the Treaty of Paris of the sth of November, 1815, imposed, simply for the fulfilment of duties intrusted to the Protectorate, that ' Her Britannic Majesty shall have the right to occupy the fortresses and places of these States, and to maintain garrisons in the same;' and whereas by the 6th article it was provided in what manner everything which may relate to the mainte nance of the fortresses already existing shall be regulated, which was done by the 12th article of the 2d section, chap. vii., of the Constitution of 1817; "Whereas, independently of various other large expended by the lonian States for th e maintenanceansdunis re pair of the existing fortresses, the sum o f £ 164,000 was paid to the Protectorate, in virtue of the 24th Act of the 2d Parliament, dated the 19th of March, 1825, to restore and complete the fortifications of Corfu and Vido ;' and by the resolution of the Ist of June, 1833, of the 4th Parliament, the sum of £15,000 in addition was granted for the same purpose, under the condition, however, that as regarded the entire sure of £179,000 in the first Session of the Assembly 'there sh uld be submitted to it the accounts showing the application of the sums so voted, and the uses made of them in order to judge of their legitimate application; which it would appear has never been done by the Protectorate; "Whereas, by the resolution of the sth Parliament of the 14th of January, 1836, which was substituted for ar icle 12, section 2, chapter vii., of the Constitution of the year 1817, the annual sum of £35,000 was fixed for the ' maintenance of the existing fortresses ;' " Whereas, by the 28th article of the resolution of the Bth Parliament of the 6th (18th) of December, 1849, this sum, destined in part for the maintenance of the existing for tresses, was reduced to the annual sum of £25,000, which is now paid ; " Whereas the Protectorate, in violation of the duties assumed by it for the preservation of the fortresses, has de stroyed fortresses which existed, has constructed new forts, has undertaken, and continues to undertake, many other works entirely contrary to the spirit and letter of the Treaty of Paris, without the authority of the lonian Assembly; " Theretore,— " The Septinsular Assembly protests against the Protee torte e for all that it has done, does, or may do in this matter. " The present shall be officially communicated to the Lord High Commissioner as the representative of the Pro tecterate, in order that through him it may be sent to the gracious Queen of Great Britain, reserving the exercise of all other rights.

Last night a very interesting lecture was de livered upon the successful revolution in Italy, by Signora Jessie White Mario, in St. James Hall, the large room of which was crowded. The chair was taken by P, A. Taylor, Esq.. M.P., about eight o'clock, and when Signora Mario made her ap paarance on the platform she was enthusiastically cheered, The CHAIRMAN said he had no desire to detain them for any length of time from the business of the evening, as he knew they were anxious to hear Signora Mario deliver her lecture. The ordinary office of a chairman was to endeavour to obtain a patient hearing for those who addressed a meeting, a request which, on the present occa sion, would be quite superfluous ; or a gentle man of weight and influence might be appointed chairman, with the view of giving importance to the lecture; but he would venture to say there was not one man in the country whose presence there would add a wreath to the chaplet which already adorned her brow. (Loud cheers.) She was a lady wheats intelligence, courage, and devotion had been most conspicuous in Italy, and he had to thank her, in the name of the Garibaldi Committee, for the lec tures she had already delivered-50 in England and Scotland. The lectures given in England had been a great success, while in Scotland Signora tlario had received a great ovation. (Cheers.) In oneof the battles she had faced a storm of ballets, and her devotion in following the wounded to the hospitals had earned for her the title of the Florence Night gale of Italy. (Renewed cheers.) In no battles were so few of the wounded soldiers lost, owing to the care and attention which had been paid them. Those who repudiated as a dream the idea which ten years ago were entertained of Italian unity and independence, were now compelled to acknowledge what had been accomplished by the sword of Gari baldi. (Cheers.) It was known to many now that Joseph Mazzini w as not only a patriot and an exile, but a prophet and a seer, and it had fallen to the lot of few men as it had to him, to write his name on the accomplishment of Italian independence. (Cheers.) Rome, they all knew, was essential to Italy, for it was the capital in which all the tradi tions of the provinces were centred. The question of Rome was the pressing question of the day, not only as regarded Italy, but as regarded all Europe —(cheers)—because the only security for the peace of Europe was the unity and independence of Italy. (Renewed cheers.)

The first man who spoke of united Italy with Rome for its capital was the great. Italian poet Dante. Another distinguished man observed that Italian unity could not be ob tained with Rome for its capital, except by the abo lition of the Papacy. She then referred to the period of the first French revolution and to the hopes which were entertained in Italy upon the successes of the First Napoleon, but these hopes were not sustained by him; quite the contrary, and upon his downfall Italy was parcelled out into small duchies. The revolutions, she said, in 1821 and in 1831, in several parts of Italy were protests against such partitioning at the treaty of Vienna. She then very zealously defended Mazzini from what she termed the unfair and unfounded charges which had been levelled against him. He had lived in exile and poverty, labouring to lay the foundation of Italian unity, and to no man was Italy so much indebted as to Joseph Mazzini—(aheers)—and he saw that when the Italians were one for all, and all for each, they would accomplish Italian liberty.. It . was owing to the Italians themselves that Mazzini, in coming and going in his visits to Italy, e protected when a price was set upon hishead. r"lbu mission of Mazzini was entrusted to the I of the Garibaldi to carry out.

He then went to Mal... seilles, and he there founded the Society of Youn g Italy, of which Garibaldi was one of its first rurim hers. Having traced the history of the efforts of that society from the year 1834, she referred to Vat sad fate of the brothers Bandiera, whose letters were opened by an English statesman, and upon the information communicated to the King of Naples these brothers were arrested and were taken out and shot. She referred them to the con duct of Republican France, under the Presidency of Louis Napoleon, in sending 30,000 troops to put down the revolution in Rome, and though England in her churches preached against. the Pap acy she then raised n o vo i ce t o protest against the attempt to force the Pope upon the Italians. Her descrip.. tion of the wonderful exploits of Garibaldi in effect ing the liberation of Sicily was most graphic; and, although that liberation hab been of so recent ' it date, and people are mostly familiar with all ,he principal details, she managed to make her nrArra tive full of interest and completely chainr,d th e attention of the audience, who occasionally inter rupted her with enthusiastic cheers. Her Itct-are occupied an hour and a half, and was admirably Well delivered by her. She reprobated in most severe terms the unworthy intrigues of Louis Na poleon in Italy, and she expressed very unfavotlr able opintons of Count Cavour, who was mixed up, she alleged, in these intrigues. He sold to a foreign usurper the birth-place of Garibaldi, and where rested the ashes of his mother. She add e d 4‘l I have nothing to s a y o f t h ese facts. They speak, for themselves." Loui s N apo l eon would have re stored the expelled G ran d D u k es to what they called their possessions, and here it was that Eng.. land stood the able friend of Italy. Lord John Russell checkmated the Emperor, like an able, general. The Grand Dukes, he said, might be r..e stored by those who expelled them, if the peopl e chose to do so; but they must not be restored by foreign aid. At the conclusion of the lecture she was again enthusiastically cheered. The personal appearance of Signora Mario is prepossesing, and ber figure graceful. Her counte nance is very expressive and animated, and sh e h a ., a finely modulated voice, which adds much to the charm of her delivery. She appeared not to be at all wearied at the close of the lecture. Her se, cond lecture will be upon Naples and Caprera, ir d a will be given on Tuesday next. SERIOUS BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE .41' GREEIFOCK. An accident of a most serious and alarming cha, ratter, arising from the bursting of a boiler at tl j e large iron shipbuilding works of Messrs. Scott r in d Company, Cartsdyke, took place yesterday morn _ ing, and resulted in the death of at least one nun, And serious, if not fatal, injuries to about a closer( others. We give the particulars so far as they could be gathered by a personal hurried visit to, and inspection of, the steno of the unfortunr i t e event. The works of Messrs. Scott and Co. are si'mated near to Garvel Park, exactly where the main street of Cartsdyke runs into East Hamilton-street, pro ceeding on towards Port-Glasgow. The main thoroughfare there forms an obtuse angle, in the very corner of which, and on the north side of the street, stood for more than a century and a half, a little, old. fashioned house, with rook-stepped gables, the southern corner of w'nieh jutted out a few feet on to the footpath. It was originally knovra by the name of Garvel House, and enjoyed the re putation of having been the halting place for one night of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Preten der, in his way up the Vale of Clyde. It became a roadside public• house, and continued so for several years. It belonged to a Mr. Murdoch, who, when tlarvel Park passed into the possession of Mr. C. Scott, the respected senior partner of the present firm of Scott and Co., and when that enterprising firm set down their works there, sold this antique house to Mr. Scott. The jutting corner was removed to improve the street, a wall erected on the new lice, and the old house, joined to other interior erections, formed a boiler .house and blacksmith's shops. In the same house, extending within a few feet of the street, stood the boiler which burst, and which supplied steam to a horizontal uncondensiug steam engine, which propelled the machinery at the works, at the south west extremity. The boiler, which is tubular, is about 25 feet in length and 7 feet in diameter. The explosion took place exactly at three minutes to six o'clock, immediately before the time at which the steam was to have been let on to propel the engine, and therefore at a time when the pressure would in all likelihood be at its maximum. The part of the boiler that gave way was the internal flue, immediately over the Ere, and the rent ran almost the length of the bailer. The steam, in thus bursting out, would meet with some resistance from the furnace bars which were at the inside end, and this accounts for the greatest pressure being out wards to the main street ; but at both ends the escaping steam must have been impelled with the force of a shot from a cannon; in fact, the boiler, which has never shifted from its seat, presented the appearance of a great cannon fired off at both ends. The inside, running due east from the furnace mouth of the boiler, out of which the immense pres sure of steam squirted, pointed towards blacksmiths' shops. It first threw down a wooden partition, deeply indented a wooden crane upright, carried away away a vice bench, shattered a Dundas and scattered about 10 cwt., and threw down w t a s n o i rsk w m a e l n l , t w h that athbeolleltoad rubb lebody hf Jamesw a Finnic,l .

The But the greater number of persons appear to have of passing to their _ explosion direction threw through westwards in that which separated the house from the street, filling the 111 min-street with a mass of ruins, and we are to ld of many hairbreadth escapes made here by men to their work —one pa ssing b e i ng immolated, and bis companion escaping unscathed. The debris was propelled westward along the Main-street of Carts dyke for upwards of 200 yards, dashing the fronts of the houses on the south side with mud, splinters of wood, stones, &c. A two-storey house on the south side of the street, nearly opposite to the boiler-house, has had the window dashed to atoms, the houses filled with wet mud, and splinters of wood, bricks, and heavy iron, tools have been projected into the houses, the interiors of which have been completely devasted, and the in mates narrowly escaped severe injury. One bed in one of these houses had just been vacated, when the debris came dashing through the window frames, come of the missiles making deep indenta tions into the wood and plaster. In one of the houses, Colin - itoßs, painter, an old man, who was an invalid, while sitting at the fire, was startled with the smashing in of the window and knocked down ; and in another house, James Brown, a la bower, when the window was smashed in, shut the shutters and held his back to them, but he was forced to the other end of the apartment, and was considerably injured about the body. and had one of his feet cut. The whole of this tenement pre sented a complete scene of devastation, as if it had sp been under water, and left with a deposit of mud' stones, and other debris. orted en rep The following are the names of the sa the rered to be injured, so far as could be etrity o f whom early part of the day, and the majo rity were conveyed to the Infirmary: — ee, an elderly ' James Finnie, smith or bolt screw y Lad burn, with a man, unmarried, ' residing 13 , e o f y i n a shockingly sister, killed outright; his d u u t of the ruins in mutilated condition, being he g - ex plosion.
