JOHN BULL is not in the habit of eating his own words. Jolts BULL has a proverbial love of roast beef, but a total disrelish for humble pie. JOHN BULL neither blusters nor cringes. He has a natural distaste for either bullying or sneaking. Now, the very humblest of humble pie is what Mr. BRIGHT has just partaken of —and very largely—and apparently with a relish ! And he has consented to do this as publicly as pos siblc—not on the sly, or under the rose, or in a hole and corner. Last evening the house of Lords was crowded, as we never remember to have seen it crowded upon any previous occtvion. It was simply crammed. Peeresses were closely packed side by side the whole length of the galleries. Peeresses clustered together, looking over one another's shoulders, through the open doorways, all along those two confronting side galleries. Peeresses were actually perched as upon " 'coigns of 'vantage" upon the top o ver the Throne. The Heir cf the gilded canopy' Apparent was seated upon the cross Leaches iu the body of the House. The Government and the Op position were there—in a double sense—rank upon rank. Several of the junior members of the Royal Family were, here and there, distinguishable -bei .7, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING; TRINE 18, 1E69. among the throng of illustrious hearers and lookers-on. '1 he House of Commons—almost emptied of its Members—was Ent:Relently re presented, there, at the bar, upon either side of the Reporters' Gallery, and in a dense and serried mass on the steps of the Throne. The whole of this august assembly having gathered together, as it turned out, to witness the most extraordinary speci men of John Bullism that ever has been—we won't say acted or uttered, or anything of that kind, but we w;11 go so far as to say that ever has been--even dreamt of. It was Mr. SEWARD, remember, who spoke originally of what he was pleased to call Mr. BRIGHT'S John Bullism. But, if last night's exhibi tion was a specimen of the particular characteristic he was alluding to by that phrase—we must perforce say that it was intensely and essentially a Yankee's idea of what is meant by John Bullism. What Mr. Brawn' wrote, in the notorious political manifesto addressed to the Secretary of the Birming ham Liberal Association, we all know. We com mented upon it in these columns, in the strongest language of condemnation, upon the very day of its first appearance. The whole of our morning con temporaries, save one, spoke of it, the next day, in the very same terms of profound indignation. There could be but one feeling, indeed, in regard to it—in regard to its indecorum -- in regard to its arrogance —in regard to its violation of everything like ministerial etiquette.' It was an un precedented act on the part of a responsible Minister of the CROWN. It breathed throughout it nothing but threats and insolence. It spoke of the Lords with absolute scorn and derision. It warned them— "ln harmony with the nation they may go on for a long time ; but throwing themselves athwart its course they may meet with accidents not plea sant for them to think of !" Now, whenever a man speaks of a spade, he is under stood by all sane people to mean a spade. According to Mr. BRIGHT'S odd way of explaining matters, it is quite otherwise. He is so much of a JOHN BULL that when he says a spade—if we are to believe him (appealing, we suppose, from PHILIP drunk to PFrILIP sober) —he means quite another thing. The Lords find themselves hit with a brickbat. Lord ('AIRNS picks it up and shows it to them. But Lord GRANVILLE immediately steps forward with quite charming suavity to explain that—What ? Why, that he is authorised to assure their lordships that it is no brickbat at all—[they have it before their e) es ! they can hardly credit their senses while they are listening to him !]—that it is no brickbat at all—that, in fact, he is authorised by Mr. BRIGHT to assure their lorcsl,ii.s that it is merely a bouquet of flowers—thrown to them, we presume, as a delicate campliment. Nay, Lord GRANVILLE adds that he can also assure their lordships on the part of Mr. BRIGHT, that if this brickbat, as they insist upon calling it, but bouquet as he can really assure them it is, has hurt them in any way, he, Mr. BRIGHT is extremely sorry for it—and so forth. In proof posi tive that this is a very simple explanation of Lora GRANVILLE'S explanation of last evening. we will here, however, give Lord GRANVILLE'S ow❑ words in his way of putting it. Insisting upon Mr. BLIGHT'S John Bullism, the noble earl went on to say, " there is another quality which I think may be attributed to his John Bullism, which is a frank ex planation of anything he may have done, and Mr. BRIGHT has authorized me to say, that when he wrote that letter, he was not acting under any feeling of indignation at any act of your lordships as a whole, but that he did feel very much moved Ly the account he had heard of the proceedings and speeches at a certain meeting in St. James's-square, which has now Lecome a matter of history. to threats with regard to your lord ships' House, Mr. Bright distinctly repudiates haring intended 10 his letter ti convey any such threats what ever. [No wonder, the House of Lords greeted this violation of every one's commo❑ sense with groans and actually with hissing !] Mr. BRIGLIT says that what he meant to convey, and • believes he did convey, in that letter, was those (Onions as to matter of fact and matter of judgment which he believes have since been either stated or implied in the speeches of some of the most eminent members of your lordships' House ; and further, he has authorized me to say that if any expressions in that letter have given pain to your lordships, collec tively or individually, he regrets that pain should have been given to you, and assures you through me that it was not his intention to do so." Again, the House of Lords—the House of Loris, remem ber !—greets this astounding specimen of John Bullism (save the mark !) with groans and with hissing. Again, we say—And no wonder ! No wonder the Lords groaned. No wonder the Lords went, even, for once in their li/es, to the length of hissing. Again, we say—lf that is a specimen of Mr. BRIGHT'S John Bullism, it is a very Yankee notion indeed of what is meant by John Bullism. So confused got Lord GRANVILLE last night with the scornful reception accorded to the very strange explanation he had the poignant and certainly unenviable office of submitting to their lordships, that, immediately the groans and hisses died away, he blundered into this absurdly mal droit remark, " I certainly feel regret that Mr. BRIGHT should ever have applied the word ‘unwisdom' to any House to which I belong"—at which the House roared with laughter. No—the fact of the matter is this. The letter was shame ful. The explanation is pitiable. It will lower Mr. BMGHT in the estimation of the whole country. The letter was unworthy of a Cabinet Minister. The explanation is unworthy of a Tribune of the People. Both constitute an incident very damaging indeed to Mr. BRIGHT'S reputation as a Statesman. DATE are not of those who attach great importance to isolated elections, like those which have taken place at Stafford and Nottingham within the last few days. Contests of this kind are usually decided by local considerations. The result of the Stafford election, at all events, was due to the personal popu larity of the Conservative candidates far more than to the question of the Irish Church, which was very little discussed. At Nottingham it was rather more prominent, and Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR hoped to gain, and did gain, the votes of the Conservative party by abjuring his former Radicalism, so far as to announce his hostility to Mr. GLADSTONE'S measure. This was the only point of political difference between him and his opponent, and it has not secured his election. That it has caused his defeat would be a bold assertion remembering the chaotic state of politics in the lace metropolis. But while little is to be gained from the Notting ham electio n , so f ar as ascer t a i n i ng p o p u lar opinion u th p e on re t t i t l i e rn ofm great question e ss y of merely the day concerned,co is unterba counterbalances c es while e unseating of Mr. POCIIIN, there is a lesson to be learnt from the last election h wh . ic we hope will not be lust upon the select committee of the House of Commons now sitting. It has united all the worst features of our mode of conducting elections. The nomination was a useless farce. Neither of the candi dates was listened to, the crowd who gathered before the hustings consisted for the most part of Mr.BniollT'S " residuum," and Mr. MILL'S " persons," the lowest class of non-electors and women. Thus even if the speakers had been listened to, their words would have fallen upon cars which there was no good in reaching. The polling was a scene of the wildest riot. So soon as it became known that the Liberal candidate was a long way ahead, the " lambs" took to playing in their usual sportive manner. They broke windows, attempted to overturn carriages, and to wreck houses, they , intimidated voters, and generally became so uproarious that it .was necessary to call out the . Pensioners and to read the Riot Act. The record of this election sounds like the narrative of a pitched battle. And all this turmoil and outrage was induced, not by the fact that a great political principle was at stake, for between the rival candidates there was only a slight shade of . difference. It was due entirely to local prej lichees and antipathies utterly unintelligible to outsiders. It is impossible not to see that the greater part of these disorderly proceedings was wholly useless for any practical purpose. had the nomination of candidates in its present shape been abolished, had the votes been taken by ballot, and, as a consequence, no declaration of the poll made until its close, there would have been none of the disgraceful tumult which reigned in one of the most important towns of England for four-and twenty hours. The recollections of the general election are too recent aid too vivid for us to have needed the proverbial "frightful example." Whether needed or not, Nottingham has supplied it. COLLESTOEDENCE FROM ',Ara (FROII OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, June 17. The aspect of affairs at St. Etienne when I wrote yes terday seemed to promise that the strike would pass off peaceably. No disturbances had then arisen. The colliers had indeed ceased wotk in all directions, and had put forth a formidable bill of rights, but they had not had recourse .to violence: Troops had been sent for, and it was hoped that these would prove sufficient to keep the peace. But, unfortunately, we have news to-day of a reriuus collision between the colliers and the troops. It appears that three companies of the 4th line regiment were returning from the pits at Montravent, where they bad been relieved by a battalion of the 17th. They were bringing with thew a nunsber of prisoners who had been ciptured whilst attempting to interrupt the works Montravent. Arrived at St. Etienne, the troops with their prey were passing through a very narrow and deep 1 a . ssge—S , sort of trench formed by a railway cutting— when tl.ey were assailed by a large troop of miners, armed with p'stols and stones. A desperate attempt was made by this band, which included several women in its ranks, to release the captives. Undoubtedly they would have succeeded bad not the soldiers used their weapons. The assailants were met by several discharges cf rifles, and eventually took to flight, leaving several of their number dead, and thirty-two prisoners. According to one account, the number killed was eleven. The soldiers bad five or six wounded. This serious strike commenced on the 11th, and by the next day it had s p re ad throughout the entire die trict, assuming a v er y alarming aspect. Almost all the workmen joined i n it ; b u t th e y w ere not satisfied with a mere abstention f rom l a b our . They not only prevented their comrades from working, bat endeavoured, strangely enough, to ruin the mines by stopping the pumping machines. It seems certain that the strike was in the first instance prompted by the news that a revolution had broken out in Paris. On the evening of the same day the strike suddenly relaxed. News came that quiet had been restored at Paris, troops arrived, and under their protection a number of well-disposed miners were induced to go back to work. A journal which repre sented the miners was prosecuted, and its tone became much milder. On the 13th the state of affairs grew still more peaceful, and hopes were entertained that the strike was at an end. On the 14th, however, it again broke out with as much violence as ever. This time it took the form of an ordinary turn-out, and a demand for reduced wages, increased pay, &c., was put forth. Further atttempts were made to intimidate the miners, bit on the 14th and- 15th a heavy fall of rain— that enemy to popular disturbances prevented active operations. Rarely is the love of riot so intense as to survive a thorough wetting. Yesterday, however, operations were again resumed, the local journal became as rabid as ever, a n d severa l a tt e mpts were made to stop the m ne works, especially the pumping-machines. Some of these proved successful. In several pits inundations cons mweed, and in one or two great difficulty was experienced in getting the men out. Some attempt was made to com promise the demands of the workmen, but nothing that the employers could offer was deemed acceptable by the miners. Lastly, this combat, attended with the loss of eleven lives, increases the gravity of the situation. The t: - osps, of course, had no resource but to fire. '1 h 2 Emperor's letter, the purport of which has, doubtless, been announced to you ere this, is the sub jct of comment in all the papers. It is deemed of c4 - nsiderable importance, and very justly so, for the Emperor never expressed himself more clearly. He agrees fuly with the opinion that " the concession of a pr . : cple or the sacrifice of individuals is always in Aft c'ussl in the face of popular movements, and that a Government which respects itself ought to y'eld neither to pressure, to excitement, nor to revolt." Tlie l apers here agree pretty nearly as to the significance of this statement. It means that no liberal concessions will be made 44 the present state of affairs, and that no .111scicdhofia-ul Ministerial modificationr. publishes the letter, publishes Y ' T i n e p f e a i t e t e i c i l e b .p e e c i a rp t l c e r , t a m i with it an article stating that the epistle finally disposes of all rumours as to changes in the Government. "It is not just after serious troubles, and on the eve of a legislative session which will be devoted merely to the verification of powers, that a Government determines upon serious changes." The Temps says that all hope of liberal concessions must be given up. would be useless, because they would have the appearance of being extorted. The The Emperor declares that they Constituttonnel vigorously contests the Emperor's theory. It thinks that though the Government should make no concessions in the face of a menacing mob, yet, when the tumults have been repressed and the authorities remain triumphant, the Emperor could not better display his force than by freely according to public opinion what he has refused to popular passion. The Constitutionnel strongly urges that the recent declarations of the country be not disregarded. Reforms ought to be conceded. The campaign against the Press opened yesterday. The printer, manager, and one of the editors of the Rappel have all been tried and sentenced ; but other journalists have beers released, and the prosecutions will be less heavy than was expected. At the various election meetings which preceded the late struggle all the candidates were most minutely inter rogated, and none more so than M. Jules Favre. One of his replies was particularly neat. "If the Emperor were to die, what would you do:" he was asked. " What would I do ? Why, I would go to his funeral !" he answered. f % trianTA HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, JUlle 17.

The tale which has prevailed during this week has done great damage among the shipping on our Northern and Eastern coasts. Several vessels Have been driven ashore near Dunbar, on the east coast of Scotland. One of them, a schooner, went ashore near Tyne Water, aed was dashed to pieces, the crew being drowned. A brig, sup posed to have been the Cityof,A.berdeen,also struck upon the rocks and went to pieces. The crew scrambled up the rocks, and the.coastguardsmen attempted to reach them, but all were washed away.' Another schooner went ashore at Tyne., ,Sapda, and it is feared that all hands were lost. A telegram from Edinburgh reports that more than - twelve vessels were ashore at Dunbar at one time, and that four milesof the coast were strewn with wrecks and cargo. Off North Berwick the storm has been felt with great severity. A. Marge vessel was driven on the Maiden Rock, near the harbour, and the crew were in imminent danger, but they were happily rescued by the North Berwick Lifeboat, after great exertion. Three fishing-boats were lost off Saltburn-by-the-Sea, with a loss of nine lives. Unfortunately, a large fleet of fishing-boats had left the Tyne on Tues day for tt , herring fishery, and several of them are missing. The greatest anxiety prevails among the rela tives and friends of the missing crew, and the men whose boats have come back safely have lost many valuable nets. From South Shields great disasters are reported. The Anne of Rye went on the Trow Rocks and became a total wreck. filer crew were saved by the Volunteer Life Brigade men, who also assisted in saving many lives from fishing-boats in distress. The lifeboats on the coast have, as usual, been doing good service. The lifeboat Sheffield succeeded on Wed nesday morning in saving four lives from a Hartlepool fishing vessel, which had drifted on the rocks near Bruns wick Bay. The lifeboat at Anstruther, N. 8., went out to render assistance to distressed vessels. It deserves to be noticed that the boat was launched in ten minutes after she was sent for, though she had been just painted, and, in consequence, everything was out of her. The loss of life seems to have been unusually heavy for the time of the year. From Hartle pool we learn that some thirty sail of local boats are as yetunaccounted for, while on the Scarborough coast the services of the harbour-master and of the lifeboat men have been in constant requisition.

The following gentlemen were amongst the members of the deputation : Mr. John Hick, M.P., Mr. Hugh Birley, Hon. Frederick Stanley, M.P., Mr. Laird, M.P., Mr. Sidebottom, M.P., Mr. J. Legh, M.P., Colonel Gray, M.P., Mr. Henderson, ILP., Mr. E. Potter, M.P., Mr. Pease, M.P., Mr. Brassey, M.P., &c. _ . Mr. SADIUDA, M.P., in introducing the deputation,'said the members of the deputation felt that while the Trades Unions Bill was a subject:of the greatest importance in the interests of the country generally, it ought to be dealt with upon a comprehensive and substantial basis ; and that there was some danger of legislation drifting into a channel which would not be satisfactory to them or the public. The deputation thought that if further legislation was advisable, the Government themselves ought to take the initiative, and should not allow the employers of labour to be placed in the false position which they would occupy if they were compelled to oppose the bill now before Parliament. They considered that the present measure was put forward in one interest only. Mr. BRUCE said he assumed, by the date at which the promoters of this bill had put it for the second reading, that they had no serious intention of pressing it this session, but had rather introduced it for the purpose of securing discussion in the House of Commons on the general merits of the bill, without hoping to give it any legislative effect. He quite agreed with what Mr. Samuda had said, that, considering the great difference of opinion amongst the commissioners, and that this bill was founded upon the opinions of those who, although gentlemen of great ability and great zeal upon t his subject, were a numerical minority of the commission, it would be impossible for the Government to accept a measure wikhout•giving the most serious consideration to the counter arguments. Still it had been quite impossible for the Government to undertake a bill upon this matter themselves ; and he would say, with regard to bills brought forward by the Home Office, the pressure of business had been such that, much against his own inclination, they were very much in arrear. There was already a bill affecting the Mines Inspection Act which they had had no opportunity of bringing under the notice of the House ; there was the Habitual Criminal Offenders Bill, and the County Finance Bill, all measures of general interest which it had been impossible to press forward. Therefore he felt that it would be useless in the midst of the pressure of a session like this to attempt to go thoroughly into the report of the commissioners, and the manner in which he proposed, on the part of the Government, to meet this bill, was to carefully avoid the expression of any opinion upon the moot points, but during the recess to consider the recommendations of the report. And he should like then, on the part of the Government, to be able to bring forward some measure founded on the re port, which would deal justly with all the interests con cerned. Mr. Bruce, in answer to questions, declined to promise to bring in a bill next session, or that the Government would consider the subject with a view to framing a measure. Mr. Bruce was then still further pressed to give his opinion, and was asked whether he would repeat in the House of Commons what he had sail there. The HOME SECRETARY said he had no objectio nto answering any questions which might be asked him in the House. The question ought not to be discussed till there had been ample time for considering both sides, but he should be careful not to express any opinion as to what Government would do. It had been utterly im• possible, not only for himself, but for his colleagues, to consider this question ; and he could not, without consi deration with the rest of the Cabinet, on a matter of such extreme importance state the views of the Government thereon. Amongst the persons arrested in Paris during the late riots were six Englishmen. All these Lave been set at liberty through the intervention of the British Ambassador. The inquest on the body of Robert Ilodgkinson, the engine tenter of the boiler which exploded at Bingley, was resumed on Wednesday. A verdict of accidental death was returned. A farmer in Massachusetts has tried steaming his stable food for five years. He says it costs a third less to winter his cows, and they give a fourth more than when he fed them on raw hay and grain. AN AM USING COMPOSITOR'S BLUNDER. —Under the heading " Erratum," the Times publishes the follow ing:—" In our account of the Apposition at St. Paul's, the word 'malefactors' should have been 'male actors.'" A. singular story is told about Wythington Church, Shropshire. On Sunday week it was observed that a woman named Williams, instead of entering her own pew, took her place in one in front of it. In less than five minutes afterwards a stove pipe broke, and fell endways on the spot where Mrs. Williams would have been sitting if she had taken her regular place.—Osu•estry Adratiser. A Jersey correspondent writes that early cn We, nesday a bottle containing paraffin oil was thrown through the ledromn window of Mr. P. Manby, who resides at No. 21, Regent-road, in St. Tie Hers. The object of the would-be assassin was apparently to hit the gas bracket, which was burning near the window, but fortunately the bottle struck lower than the light, and the liquid was scattered harmlessly about the floor. Mr. Manby, his wife, and two children slept in the room, and Lad the diabolical attempt been successful the consequences would have been most deplorable. BROTHER CELTS.—At the conclusion of the Bishop of Peterborough's remarkable speech in the House of Lords on the Irish Church Bill on Tuesday night, the cheering, which lasted for several minutes, had hardly died away before the ex-Chancellor, Lords Cairns, was seen to advance across the Rouse from the Opposition benches, to offer warm congratulations to his lordship on his brilliant, and, we believe, " maiden" speech. Both the ex-Chancellor and the Bishop are Irishmen, and neither of them have yet attained 50 years of age. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —On Thursday after noon, Mr. Codd, the coroner for the Northern division of Essex, opened an inquiry at Wickham, on the Witham and Maldon branch of the Great Eastern Railway, re specting an accident on the line, by which a stoker named Day lost his life and an engine•driver was much injured. The accident happened to the last train from Witham and Maldon. As the train approached Wickham station, the engine suddenly left the rails, and went over into a field. The stoker died on the spot, and the driver was much hurt. The inquest was adjourned. THE SUTHERLAND GOLDFIELDS.-11ELMSDALE, Monday.—Now that the diggers see that the flats are to be given out as digging claims, all hands are busy at work on their old claims on the burns, which, it is understood, must be worked out before the authorities will grant an extension of the digging area. Many of the men are looking with wistful eyes to the upper reaches of the Suisgill burn, where a few of them had been prospecting, and found gold in paying quan tities ; and one reason of so many sticking to the work, which at present is believed in many cases to be doing little more than enabling both ends to meet, is the prospect of getting claims marked out at an early date on the coveted ground. There are one or two terraces at the mouth of the Suisgill burn, where it crosses the road, that the miners have a great eye to, and would give a large rnci for the working of, but, unfortunately for the digger, these said terraces are level, and yield good grass, which the farmer looks upon as good as gold, and will not give up for any ordinary consideration.—Northern Ensign. THE SUNDAY ACT.—An important case, involv ing a question of right on the part of a beerseller to sell provisions or other articles within the closehours, has come before Messrs. E. Birley and W. Winstanley, borough magistrates, at the Preston Police-court. George Grayson, provision dea!er and beerseller, Park-road, was charged with a breach of the Sunday Act, in selling half-an-ounce of tobacco at 11.40 a.m. on Sunday, the 6th inst. Mr. Blackhurst, for the prosecution, said there was an internal communication between the defendant's shop and beer house, and the question was whether a man carrying on the trade of a beerseller could legally sell provi sions or other articles in that shop during the hours in which beerhouses must be closed on the Sunday. Policemen Byrnes and Charnley deposed to seeing the sale of the tobacco at the time mentioned by the defendant, who told them they had no right to enter his house by the shop.door. They went forward, but found nothing wrong in the beerhouse. Mr. Watson, for the defence, said this case was the first of the kind that had come before the bench, although the Act had been in operation many years. Some time ago a ques tion was raised whether persons should be permitted to have shops in connection with beerhouses. The Act of Parliament was intended to prohibit the sale of beer in illegal hours to persons pretending to purchase other articles ; but in this case the places of sale were totally distinct—one for the sale of provisions, and the other for the sale of beer. The beer house license did not mention the shop. He then called Mr. David Murdoch, excise officer, who stated that the shop was not included in the license, in which all the rooms in the beerhouse were specified and described, were correspondingly numbered in the house itself, and were all exclusive of the shop. The street numbers of the shop and beerhouse were 19 and 20 respectiv9ly. The I magistrates reserved their decision until Saturday, tl 26th inst. ---.•,-..... ',.........'' POWDER MILL EXPLOSION. The details concerning the powder mill explosion at Hounslow are to hand. It occurred at the powder nills of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, at Hanwortln bring midway between Hounslow and Twickenham. It 3ppears that the work at the mile went on as usual uP o 3.45 p.m., when about eighty men were busy i n the buildings. About this time two explosions occurred in rapid succession, which blew down all the buildings near the glazing house. Bricks and timber wer e hurled to great distances, and the trees around rent int° ,hreds and scattered about. When the smoke and duet had cleared away. Mr. Brown, the manager of the mills, and a number of assistants set to work to ascertain what damage had been done, and a number of men were told off as a guard to prevent the ingress of a crowd that had begun to collect. The roll of workmen was then called over, and it was found that the following were missing :—William Penfold, single man ; Richard Fulham, married ; Sam uel Gardner, married ; and a lad of 15, named Holloway. 11, examination of the ruins sheaved that ten of the houses had been totally destroyed, and many others seriously injured. These included storing, drying, and glazing ho uses. charge house had also been blown up, although built under ground, arched over with bricks, and covered w ith earth. On examining further it was discovered that eve r y building near the stream had been des' royed. The lad ItollowaY was at the moment of the explosion riding past , and both he and the horse were blown to some distance and killed. As the ruins were removed the remains of those killed were found in every direction, torn to pieces and disfi• guyed in such a way that identification was impossible. Dr. Douglas, of Twickenham, was sent for, and attended to the wounded, of whom there were upwards of 20, in' eluding two women. The concussion was felt ten wiles off, and in the towns and villages adjacent to the Wills considerable damage has been done to buildings. A' t Twickenham Common the windows of houses have been shattered, and the buildings themselves shaken to the very foundation. The greatest excitement prevailed at Hanworth, and great difficulty was experienced in obtain' ing information regarding the accident. Another account says The wounded, more or he slightly, numbered about twenty, among whom were tivn women. In the case of the three men killed on the sP et identification was all but impossible, for their heads wer e e disfigured, and their limbs lay here and there over the scen of devastation, which was sickening in the extr emity of itsa horrors. The explosion burst the river dam and fin'p rle the lower part of the premises, in which the clock-face cos shattered, the bands stopping at ten minutes to fool'e Altogether since the explosions at Erith and Dartford r have had no more frightful calamity of the kind to report ; and we hope that even this may have been, at the firs moment, somewhat exaggerated in its details." o st The scene which ensued at the explosion was to th e exciting. In a few minutes the avenue lead ing mills was a scene of the wildest commotion. Medical ee tutee riding at the top of their speed ; women , so me of with children in their arms, rushing to the s cene of t h e disaster half frantic with terror and alarm. A t the gate of the mills the scene beggared description ; the ravings,: faintings, and frantic inquiry of the hundred s who 1 1 u f assembled rendered the task of keeping the ga te one of the most difficult and painful. The interior was o ne wass° t confusion, and no one was able to ascertain the full eaten the mischief ; for, although close to the spo t, ne tsco accounts of the excited assistants were alike.
