How ignition was com municated I cannot say; but I am of opinion some red hot ashes in the ash-pits of one of the puddling furnaces were the most probable cause of the explosion. It seems almost incredible how so small a quantity of incalescent ashes should have been able, in so short a time, to have generated sufficient carbonic oxide gas; and still more incredible is it, how it could have entered in sufficient quantity into the blast pipes to have caused such tre mendous destruction as it did. But as all the blast pipes in the vicinity of the blast furnaces, which are the only possible sources of the gas, are uninjured, I am compelled to come to the conclusion that the cause above-mentioned was the true cause of the explosion. The CORONER complimented Mr. Bell on the com pleteness of his statement, which left no doubt on his mind that the explosion was the result of accident, and could not have been anticipated or prevented; and that, consequently, no blame was attached to any one The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." The bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were interred this afternoon. The other persons injured are going on favourably. There was not any " escape valve" into the drain, as stated in the description of the premises, but the impure air is supposed to have tercolated through the stratum. - s - - -"*"" LON DON, MONDAY vh, t ti #, t• OC TOBER 19 3 1846. 44? PRICE SD. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 16.—This morning, at nine o'clock, the flag (blue) of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in-Chief, was hoisted on board the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Milne taking the com mand, superseding Captain Shepherd. Commodore Sir Francis Collier's pendant was struck at sunset last night. Captain Milne mustered the crews of the ships in com mission on board the St. Vincent. That which yesterday we only mentioned as a rumour with regard to the disposal of the Retribution has been since confirmed by official order. She is actually to be come a tender to the Excellent, gunnery-ship, and we are informed (and the report emanated from "Excel lent " authority) that on her return to England the Ter rible will be similarly disposed of ! Captain Lushington and the following officers of the Retribution received their appointments to the Ven geance, 84, this afternoon:— Lieutenants—J. G. Bickford, C. Hawkey, tho Hon. S. R. M. Byng, and P. N. Darnell. Lieutenant Story, appointed first-lieutenant, being absent on a short leave, has not taken up his appointment to the Vengeance yet. Master—R. Salmond. Surgeon—B. Verling. Paymaster and Purser—O. S. Mountsteven. Naval Instructor—H. C. E. Warcup. Assistant- Surgeon—R. Wallace, M.D. Second Master—F. T. Jameson. Midshipmen—F. A. Dewdney, G. Todd, J. H. E. AVemyss ' and C. C. Day. Naval Cadets—R. A. Parr, J. R. Bowling, S. B. Brett, and G. E. Massey. Master's Assistant—H. Ley. Clerks—E. Death and J. Donald. Gunner—J. Compton. Boatswain-=-W. Bray. • Carpenter—J. Rogers. The Rev. W. J. Millar, late chaplain of the Retribu tiom, is appointed to the Queen, and the Rev. Mr. Cooper to. the Vengeance. 'The engineers of the Retribution are all appointed to tlle Excellent (additional) for service in the former. The Vengeance is alongside the jetty, under the sl tears. She received the fore and mizen masts of the P o werful, 84, to-day, and her own bowsprit. Her main in a st, too, was lifted and stepped. Her lower deck guns not to be issued from the gun wharf until her return fr o:'n the service for which she is now intended (to carry troops to the West Indies). The party of Royal Marine Art illery, under the command of First Lieutenant Hall, are to return to head-quarters, as are the party on be )ard the Avenger, under the command of First 'Acute nt 031 Tate. In llarbour—The Ocean, 80 ; the Raven, 3 ; African and Wildfire steamers. On Friday Mr. Arnold went through the lists for the parishes of St. Gabriel Fenchurh, St. Mary Woolnoth, St. Nicholas Ac: , ns, Allhallows Barking,' and St. Dun stan-in-the-East. Soon after the sitting of the Court, The Learned BARRISTER gave judgment in the case of Mr. Henry Edmtind Gurney, who was on the list for the parish of St. Edmund the King and Martyr, as the occu pier of premises, No. 65, Lombard-street. The objection was supported by Mr. Brown, on behalf of the Conservatives; and Mr. Wattiey and Mr. Ledger appeared fur Mr. Gurney. Evidence in support of the vote was heard on Wednes day, but Mr. Arnold postponed _his decision, that he might have an opportunity of consulting precedents. The facts of the case were briefly these:—Mr. H. E. Gurney is a partner in the house of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and G 6., who occupied the premises No. 65, Lombard-street,until March last, when—as those pre mises 'were about to be pulled down and rebuilt—they removed their, business to a house in the adjoining parish.. The house, No. 65, Lombard-street, had been' completely razed to the ground, and the - only property left there was an iron safe, which it was intended to place in the new building. The new premises, it ap peared, were not, yet completed. Messrs. Gurney were rated to the Jane rate (the only rate made during the year) for the premises, 65, Lombard - street. WOOLWICH, OCT. 16.—The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain John Robb, has been taken out of the basin at Woolwich, and, as stated last week, will embark Sir Henry Pottinger, the newly-appointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, for a passage to that colony. By letters from Canada it appears that two regiments are to be withdrawn from North America, for service at the Cape of Good Hope. Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, C. 8., K.C.H., on his visit to the Woolwich Dockyard on Wednesday, the 14th instant, communicated officially to the Admiralty that he had joined on that date, and hoisted his broad pendant in the William and Mary yacht. The gallant officer has gone on leave for a few days, but the official documents are signed " for the Commodore Superin tendent." The accounts from the Terrible war -steamer up to the present date are highly favourable to that fine vessel. When starting from the cruising ground her speed was found to be upwards of ten knots and *all per hour on the average, although she had only two boilers at work during the whole time, with an ascertained pressure of six pounds weight only on the steam guage. The quan tity of coals consumed in steaming for twenty-four hours was thirty-three tons. She had on board 500 tons of coals, with water and provisions for three months, and has been reported as capable of carrying 200 tons more than that quantity, as she is never affected by weight. The Terrible under favourable circumstances averages 220 miles per day. Captain Ramsay ordered the stern guns of the lower deck to be fired six times with 161 b. of powder, and double shotted each charge, the usual charge of powder being only 101 b. The firing was effected with perfect safety to the vessel. She can fight with four 56-pounders in a line with the keel, aft, in the stern, and with four guns of the same calibre and weight of metal in her bow, On a trial of speed with the Retribution, the Terrible having at the time more than 150 tons of coals on board above the quantity carried by the Retribution, and one deck extra of heavier guns, with double quantities of powder, shot, and shells, that the latter vessel had, the Terrible beat the Retribution on every point, riding perfectly easy and quick over the sea, when her opponent was rolling to a great degree. From the speed of the Terrible, and her comparatively small consumption of coal, she is the most economical vessel, comparatively, in her Majesty's navy. ller ad vantages under sail are of a superior description, as has been proved by her towing a vessel of 370 tons up wards of 191 miles without any aid from her steam engines. In the Bay of Biscay she behaved nobly, and sailed three weeks without steam. On her return to Cork with the Gladiator, the Terrible, with only half steam up. boat the Gladiator, although the latter vessel used her full power. 44 f . • 1 , i CI Us T Om j'.3TN'ETY-EIGHTFI SALE. ~.,,,--/ .7,,,,05L.5 i i ' , ses ° HOUSE, LONDON, OCTOBER, .."4.?' it tkiN.

The Queen, with the homebound Mails from the Peninsula and other places, may be expected on or about Sunday. ATTEMPT TO SELL HUMAN BONES.—On Friday afternoon, a lad about fourteen years of age entered the shop of Mrs. York, a dealer in bones, rags, &c., in Great Wild-street, Drury-lane, with a large sack of bones for sale. Mrs. York having weighed them, began to look ever them, when, to her horror, she discovered they were the bones of human beings, portions of sculls with teeth in them, &c., being in the sack. She then told the lad that they were human bones, on which he ran out of the shop. He was, however, stopped near Clare market by a policeman, to whom ho confessed that he had collected them in the excavations now being made in Short's-gardens, at the rear of St. Giles's workhouse, where a great number of human bones, coffins, &c., have been discovered. Ile was taken to the station-house in Bow-street. The murderer of Schwartz, who was killed on September 1, at La Chapelle, by a blow on the back of his head while seated behind the counter of a wine shop, conversing with the wife of another man, and with whom he lived in concubinage, was discovered a few nights ago in the corner of the calf-market at La Chapelle. While a patrol of gendarmerie was going its rounds, the briga dier perceived a heap of straw in which something stirred. Believing that there were some young calves left by a dealer, he put the point of his sword into the heap, when a haman cry was uttered, and a man came forth. Not being able to give an account of himself, he was taken before the Commissary of Police, and thence conducted to the Prefecture, where he was recognised as the husband of the woman who lived with Schwartz, and acknowledged that he had killed the man, but at the same time confidently affirmed that he had no murderous intention, but merely wished to compel him to give up his wife. He was committed for trial. RUMOURED Loss BY FIRE OF ONE OF THE HALIFA X AND BOSTON STEAMERS.—A rumour prevailed in town this week to the effect that one of the splendid Cunard Pl,.

We should not have noticed this but for the repeated personal applications which have been made to us on the subject, and we have the less agitation in doing so, being in a position, as we now are, to give a direct negative to the alarming re port. On Saturday last, a mercantile house here received a note from Dublin, stating that the captain of a vessel, which bad put in there, on the Bth, through stress of weather, had reported that, on the 27th ult., in the At lantic, he had seen a large steam-vessel on fire, he being at the time not in a position to render her any assistance. It was, of course, naturally supposed that the vessti alluded to must have been the Hibernia, which sailed hence on the 19th ult. The Cambria, however, has brought the gratifying intelligence that the Hibernia arrived at Halifax on the Ist instant, and, as the other steamer of the line at sea, the Caledonia, only sailed hence on the 4th inst., of course she could not be the vessel seen on the 27th ult. Supposing the report to have any foundation at all, the vessel could not have been any of the Liverpool steatuers.—Liverpool Mercury. Aniebiin said the question in this case was, whether Messrs. Gurney had occupied the premises in respect of which they were registered for twelve months previous to the 31st of July last. The 27th section of the Reform Act conferred the franchise on every occu pier of a house, warehouse, shop, counting-house, or other building; and the question really resolved itself into this—whether Mr. Gurney could be said to have occupied the house No. 65, Lombard -street, at a time when no such house was in existence. The Learned Barrister, after citing several cases from Mr. Elliott's work on registration, and from " Bingham's New Cases," vol. 5, observed that the question to be decided in this case was not whether there had been a tenancy, but whether Messrs. Gurney had occupied a house or other building at 65, Lombard-street. Now, it appeared that, during a considerable portion of the twelve months pre vious to the 31st of July the house 65, Lombard•street, had not been in existence, and, consequently, there could have been no occupation of such house, though there might be a tenancy which would entitle the land lord to recover in an action for use and occupation. It had been observed that this was a verb hard case, and he (Mr. Arnold) admitted that it was so. He had come to the decision with considerable reluctance, but it appeared to him to be the only construction he could put on the 27th section of the Reform Act. He must observe, that Messrs. Gurney had a remedy in their own hands, be cause, as they had removed to a house in an adjoining parish, they might have claimed to be registered for suc cessive occupation. The name of Mr. H. E. Gurney was therefore struck off the list. The name of Messrs. Matthew Harrison, M. Harrison, jun., and Edward Harrison, who were re• gistered for premises 82, Cornhill, which had been pulled down in order to be rebuilt, under circumstances nearly similar to the case of Messrs. Gurney, were also ex punged. The parishes taken to-day concluded the revision for the City. Mr. Ansenro observed at the close of the proceedings, that he had had some difficulty in deciding on the kale of remuneration to be allowed to vestry-clerks for their labours in connexion with the revision. He considered that ls per name would be a fair allowance. This sum would include every charge connected with making out the lists, such as attendance on the overseers, posting the lists on the church doors, &e., but would be exclu • sive of printers' bills, attendance on the Secondaries, and at the Revising Barrister's court. The following is a statement of the result of the en tire revision, prepared by the Conservative agent:— LIVERY LIST. Failed or withdrawn. Conservative objections 166 Liberal Sustained.

Shadwell on Friday held his court at the Chandos Arms, Edgeware, in order to revise the lists of county voters for the parishes of Pinner, Edgeware, Harrow, Hendon, Kingsbury, Great Stanmore, Little Stanmore, and Finchley. Sir W. Milman, described upon the register as of Pinner, was objected to by the Liberals, but no one ap peared to substantiate the objection. Mr. SUADWELL overruled the objection, and allowed ss. costs against Mr. Walker, the objector. Mr. Payne, the Conservative agent, said it would be safer, to guard against future objections, to insert " The Grove, Pinner." _ _ Mr. SHADWELL made the suggested alteration. In Harrow the Conservatives made a great many ob jections, which were all withdrawn. Mr. Grainger, an objected party, asked for costs. Mr. SHADWELL said he never granted costs in cases of new claims. Sir Robert Smirke was objected to by the Liberals, but the objection was withdrawn. lie, however, sent his steward to complain of frequent frivolous objections. The Learned BARRISTER said, as Sir Robert Smirke did not come himself, he could not allow any costs. The other cases were of no more than ordinary im portance. RECEIPT FOR BOILING RICE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Should you deem the annexed receipt for boiling rice, and the modes of using it as human food, worthy of a place in your newspaper at the present juncture of the ascertained failure of the potato crop, I should be glad if you gave it publicity. Rice se prepared has constituted a part of my daily food fur the last thirty years ; I have found it nourishing and agreeable : its preparation after two or three trials will be found easier by the cook than that of boiling a pan of potatoes.—Your obedient servant, ROBERT WISE. - - --- Allenby, near Carlisle, Oct. 14, 1846. RECEIPT FOR BOILING RICE.—Put half a pound of rice into a quart pan with a lid, to which add a pint and a half of cold water; boil it over a brisk fire, keeping the lid on, and in from ten to fifteen minutes from the time it is placed on the fire the rice will have absorbed or boiled up all the water; it must then be taken off the fire (as it is apt to burn if left on after all the water appears to be gone), the pan must then be placed on the hob, or near the fire for ten minutes longer, when the rice will be found to be quite dry and fit for use, all the grains separate, but swelled out and quite soft. If kept warm in the pan, with the lid close on, it will still be found as good and fit for the table an hour or more after boiling as it was ten minutes after it was first taken off the fire. The chief attention necessary is to be particular in taking it off the fire as soon as the water is all boiled into the rice (as at that stage it is apt to burn), and to keep the lid close on till used, as the steam greatly as sists in softening it. Half-a-pound of rice so boiled will swell out and quite fill a quart pan, and other quantities in like proportion. Rice boiled in large quantities of water, requiring to be strained through a cullender before using, in order to separate the rice from the water, is a waste of its nutri trious qualities, and renders the rice insipid : such water so strained in the East Indies and China, is called congy water, and it is prescribed by medical men there as nourishing food for convalescents, invalids, and sickly individuals ; such water is, in fact, rice-gruel. Boiled rice, as a substitute for potatoes, may be used as under : 1. The cheapest and simplest seasoning for boiled rice is salt ; hundreds of millions of human beings in East India and China subsist on rice and salt only; the latter are strong men. 2. The next superior seasoning is a little salt and pepper, boiled in water separately from the rice, a n d used by pouring it when hot on a plate full of hot boiled rice. 3. The next in quality is to add to No. 2 a few slices of onion and a little butter, and boil and use as above. 4. Add to No. 3 a few slices of fish, or flesh, or fowl, and boil and use as before (with or without onion). 5. Add to No. 4 a little curry powder or spice, and boil and use as above (with or without onion). Or, on a soup plateful of hotEboiled rice (prepared as per receipt), pour a couple of lightly boiled eggs, to which add a little cold butter ; mix these together, and use with fish,iflesh, or fowl, prepared agreeably to palate; this will be founil substantial and agreeable food. Or, a soup plateful of rice (boiled as per receipt) mixed with a little milk, sugar, and spice, will be found light and agreeable food, ei.her hot or cold. M. Alexandre Dumas, the French author, is now in Spain, collecting materials fur an historical account of the royal marriages. It is said M. Dumas is to be ap pointed to an honorary post in the household of the Duke de Montpensier. The \Valhalla, at the late Miss Linwood's Gallery, in Leicester-square, was opened on Monday evening to a crowded audience ; and we were delighted and asto nished at the manner in which the place has been beau tified. Madame Wharton, we think, is the most perfect model of the day, and the performances reflect the highest credit upon her taste and ability. To describe the beauty of the.groupings is impossible, they can only be appreciated by a visit to the place —we cannot refrain f ro m giving them our most unqualified approbation. spacious promenade, and a most excellent band, under the lidirection of Herr Rede, contribute very materially to the comfort and amusement of the visitors. Wo strongly recommend our readers to pay Madame a visit. THE MANIAC TRAVELLER. The following are some additional particulars re specting the subject of a paragraph which appeared in The Sun yesterday. The paragraph detailed the circum t stances of an attack made y an insane person on a gentleman named P ar k er , in a carriage of the Derby mail train, on the North-Western Railway :— On the morning of Tuesday last, the 13th inst., about half-past eight o'clock, a horse and cart having on it the name of Charles Higgenbottom, Stone-bridge, Wines don, drew up at the entrance-gates of the workhouse of the parish of St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington, situate in the Gloucester-road, Kensington. The cart contained, in addition to the driver, police-constables 101 and 115 of the D division, who had with them a wretched looking object covered with dirt and blood, and who was securely bound down with strong cords. On their being admitted into the workhouse-yard, the policemen stated to Mr. Blackwell, the master of the workhouse, that the person Ike, had brou g ht w ith t h em was a l unat i c who had been ley early that morning at Kensal grgep, in the parish of Kensington, under the following circumstances :—At 'an early hour, as some labourers in the employ of Mr. Edward Salter, farmer, of Notting Barns Farm, situated about midway between Notting hill and the General Cemetery at Kensal-greon, were going to their work in the fields, they saw a man in a state of nudity with the exceptio n o f a p a i r o f trousers and a pair of fine cotton socks, covered with mud, dirt, and blood, come over a hedge into one of Mr. Salter's fields, from a swamp through which he had crawled, near the Great Western Railway. The labourers told him he was trespassing, and that he must go back, upon which he became much excited, and on their attempting to enforce their directions, he became so violent that it took 12 of the labourers to secure him ; and so convincd were they that he was an escaped lunatic that they hound his arms securely with - strong cords to prevent him doing himself or others further mischief, and then handed him over to the police; Upon hearing that statement Mr. Blackwell directed the unfortunate man to be taken out of the cart, and conveyed into the in sane ward of the workhouse, which was done. When there, the cords by which he was bound were re moved and a straitwaistcoat put on. Mr. Guazzaroni, surgeon, of the terrabe, Kensington, who is medical officer of the workhouse, was then sent for to examine his state and condition, and in the interim efforts were made to cleanse him from the dirt and mud with which he was covered, which was found to be a most difficult task, as while doing so it was discovered that his arms and other parts of his body had numerous lacerated wounds, into which the mud, &c., was so grouted, that they could with great difficulty be cleansed. He gave no account as to how he got into the wretched plight into which he was, but on being questioned as to his name and where he had come from, he stated that -his name was Osborne Markham, and that his apart ments were at No. 94, Mount-street, Berkeley-square. A messenger was immediately dispatched to Mount street to ascertain the truth of that statement, and on his going to No. 94, Mount-street, he found that Mr. Markham Osborne lived there, and that that gentleman had been expected home on the previous evening from a shooting excursion at the Mirquis of Bute's ; that he had come up on the previous evening in a first-class carriegeof the mail train on the North-Western Railway, his man servant being in a second-class carriage; and that on the arrival of the train at the terminus, the servant, ongoing to the carriage in which his master had sat, found it empty, and his master's clothes, with the exception of his trousers and socks, with his gold watch, &c., lying on the seat; that in consequence it was thought that the unfortunate gentleman had cast himself from the train during its progress, and his friends had been in active search after him during the night. Mr. Guazzaroni on making a minuter examination of the wounds, found there was one at the back of the head of rather a serious character, and also two severely lacerated cuts on the left arm just above the elbow, one of which extended to the bone. So numerous were the wounds that Mr. Guazzaroni was engaged in attendance on him and in dressing the cuts until four o'clock in the afternoon. Shortly after the return of the messenger from Mount street, Mr. Harrison surgeon (we believe), of the Albany, Piccadilly, came to the workhouse on the part of Mr. Osborne's friends, and again visited him in the evening, when, appearing more quiet and collected, he was re moved in a fly from the workhouse to his lodgings in Mount -street. The strictest secresy has been maintained by all parties connected with the case as to who Mr. Osborne is, and t h e mot i ves an d causes which led to his extraordinary conduct, but there is every reason to be lieve that he is highly connected, that he is related to a Noble Duke, uncle to a Marquiss, and the brother of a titled lady. He is stated to be, in appearance, about 40 years of age, and about five feet nine inches high, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 16.

But si zr'ely such a fact is a practical libel upon the proficiency in gunnery supposed to exist on board the Excellent; for it is as much as to say, a huge hulk, moored at only a ac ut 2,000 yards range from that ship, cannot be struck if i t floats, or is otherwise acted upon by the tide !

The deceased for some tim e back suffered from bodily illness, and, owing to it' Ls ad - vanced age, no hopes had on any occasion been ht - ad oa t of his ultimate recovery. He was a native of the coup t y of Kent, and was the third son:of the Rev.

NE WCASTLE -ON-TYNE, Til ÜBSDA Y.-The inquest on the bodies of the three unfortunate men who were killed at Walker Iron-works, under circumstances already par tially described, was resumed this afternoon before Mr. Reed, coroner, at Walker, The names of the deceased are, Daniel Davies, Robert Spearman, and Robert Rogers. The extraordinary nature of the explosion, and the singular character of the assigned cause of it, in. vested the proceedings with considerable interest. The following witnesses were examined : William Short said—l am the foreman of the black smiths at the Walker Iron-works. At about half-past seven o'clock last Monday night I was going through the works, when I was told two persons were suffocated. I received directions from Henry Staward, another fire man, to proceed to the regulator, and take off the man hole door, in order to get in and plug up a four-inch pipe, through which the blast was supposed to be es caping. Rogers accompanied me, and while he was unscrewing one bolt I unscrewed another. Before the man-hole door was opened, I saw a man named Thomas Chalmers approaching with a lamp, when I told him to stand back. I had no particular reason for telling him to stand back, but I thought it was safer. The wind was blowing very fresh from the north, and Chalmers was to the windward of the regulator. After the man-hole door was open nothing took place for from three to five minutes. Rogers and I were stand ' ing close to and in front of "the man-hole. I said to Rogers, " Now, go in, and I'll follow you." But he stood a minute or so waiting for Staward bringing the plug ; and in that interval I heard a heavy blast, and a rush of wind come from the main pipe, and a tremen. dons explosion took place, when I was knocked down senseless. I don't think the explosion was caused by the lamp. The air engine that forces the blast along the pipe was standing at the time. I cannot account for the explosion by anything I saw. Rogers was killed, and I received considerable injury. Henry Staward said, I am the head millwright at the Walker Iron. works. I was at home on Monday night about half-past seven o'clock, when I received word that . a gas pipe was on fire, and that I was to go down and get the engine stopped. I went down to the works, and found that a lead gas pipe had been melted by the hot ashes blown up by an escape blast. I cut the pipe off, and then gave orders to Rogers and Short to go and plug the hole of the blast pipe in the receiver. The pipe from which the blast escaped was a branch pipe from the main blast pipe, and the end of it went under a puddling furnace among the ashes. The ashes being hot had heated the branch pipe to a red heat. The heated air in the branch pipe would go into the main pipe, and thence into the receiver, and as soon as the man-hole door was opened the atmospheric air would rush in and convert the heated air into an explosive mixture, which might have ignited at the heated pipe. There was no way of getting at the pipe to plug it but by entering the receiver. I have been in it several times when there had been leaks in the pipes, and I never apprehended any danger. Mr. Bell said, I am a proprietor of the Walker Iron works. About half-past 6 o'clock on Monday evening last it was discovered that a man named David Davies and a boy named Robert Spearman were suffocated in a privy constructed for the use of the workmen. It was after very considerable difficulty and great exposure to danger that the bodies of the unfortunate persons were extricated. They were conveyed to the surgery, where everything was done to endeavour to restore life, but in vain. To prevent, if possible, the occurrence of any further accident, immediate measures were taken by our men to ascertain the cause of such an unlooked-for dis aster, with a view to its prompt removal. It was then ascertained that from some cause or other a joint of au underground pipe, of about four inches in diameter, communicating with the main blast pipe, which is P bout three feet in diameter, had been leaking, and that it was the occasion of a loss of blast to a certain extent, which, making its way under ground to the ash pits of some puddling furnaces, had caused an increased combustion of ashes, that might have for some time lying under the fire bars. The heat thus generated had heated through the lining of the ash pits, and had communicated igni tion to a small stratum of ashes in which the pavement is laid, as well as to a minute quantity of ashes which had got accidentally mixed with coal in the stirring of the furnaces in question. The carbonic oxide and carbonic acid thus formed had found vent by penetrating towards the privy, and caused the death of Davies and Spearman. There can be no doubt it suffocated them, as their bodies presented all the usual appearances of asphyxia. The blast engine being stopped, an endeavour was made to separate the four-inch pipe alluded to from the main blast pipe; but that being found impossible or difficult to do, it was de termined to proceed to the reservoir, or regulator, as it is termed, which is a cylindrical iron vessel, 20 feet long ' and 66 feet in diameter, in which, by opening the man hole door, access could be gained to the main pipe, the stopping up of which would prevent the possibility of any blast reaching the puddling furnaces or the privy. The man-hole door having been removed, William Short, the head smith of the establishment, and an intelligent man, smelt foul air, and desired one of his assistants, who had a lamp with him, to keep at some distance from the opening. In about three minutes, and while Short and Rogers were standing close to the regulator, Short heard a rushing noise in the blast pipe, and the explo sion took place instantly afterwards. Short was thrown down, and Rogers, who was standing immediately oppo site the man-hole, was blown over a wall behind him, in such a manner, that, to have reached the place where he was taken: up, the unfortunate man must have mounted many yards into the air. Rogers was so blast sadly mutilated that his death must bye been in stantaneous. The explosion filling t he main pipe, was conducted by it to a supplementary blowing engine, of . , one part of which it shattere d to p ieces, and °n t% u o fr t the en f ragm ents struck a young man of the name I and broke his arm, while another fragment took a con trary direction, and struck a man of the name of Dyson, and fractured his leg. Next morning, on going to the s cene of the accident, it was surprising to find how com plete the destruction of the receiver was, for of it not a tenth remained in its seat, though it had been very strongly laid down. One large piece of it was thrown over the offices, all the windows of which were broken out. Another was projected so high in the air that in falling on some railing 130 yards distant it was impaled. A third portion was found on the top of the inn, 200 yards distant, and at an elevation of 20 yards above its original level. Many yards of the blast pipe were torn like paper, and fragments of it and of the regulator were tonne: in various directions of the works. I believe the cause of the uoident was this ;—As soon as the man-hole door was IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 15.—The Cork Examiner, received in town this afternoon, gives accounts of the deaths of four men from starvation. Two had died at Castlehaven, one in Macroom, and another in Skibbereen. The Board of Works have authorised a considerable number of the presentments lately made in that county ; but from its great extent, and the density of its population, com paratively little relief has b een a ff or d e d to the poor. However, the Board appears now to be getting on with more effect, already it is said they have 20,000 men at work in various par is of the country. With the excep tion of Cork, the reports from the other counties are not so gloomy as they have hitherto been. The following letters are from the Cork Examiner, and the writers of which express themselves warmly. The death of a human being from starvation is a deplorable event, one which invariably excites general sympathy, but after all we should not regard these as indicative of the fate of any considerable number of the population. The exer tions made are likely to be attended with success, at least, near all large toe ns where food can be purchased. The cry now is for food to purchase. The scarcity in many districts is occasioned by the want of mills to grind the wheat and oats, which are tolerably abundant. DEATHS FROM STARVATION. CASTLEUAVEN.—In the locality of Dereleigh an in stance of death from want has taken place. The victim was a poor man, name unknown, who had been at work all day on a new line of road. On reaching his miser able home in the evening, he was seized w ith ill ness consequent on his want o food, a morsel of which he had not tasted that day. The Catholic clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Mulcahy, was sent for, but on his arrival death bad ended the sufferings of the miserable victim of want, In the same neighbourhood another death of another poor man took place from a similar cause. General ap prehensions are entertained, that if something effectual be not done before Christmas, the consequences must indeed be alarming in the extreme. In the parish of Dereleigh Indian meal is sold at the rate of from 15..6d. to ls. 10d. per stone. The great majority of the popu lation are totally unemployed, and the wages of labour of those who succeed in procuring work are totally in adequate to the purchase of food for families, which average in number at least six, in man y cases n i ne an d ten. The population heretofore derived a subsistence from fishing, but circumstances and the elements hare combined against them, and for the reason they have, taken scarcely any fish. The respected Catholic clergy man of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Mulcahy, notices the absence from divine service on Sundays of a large num ber of his flock. He can only attribute this to their want of clothing, all their raiment being pledged or disposed of for the sake of feeding their famishing families. MAenooat. —An unfortunate labourer, having struggled against poverty, destitution, and famine so long as any resource had been left, was proceeding on Thursday last to the Maeroom Workhouse, when death, as if in pity, assailed him on the road, and put a period to his earthly sufferings. Upwards of eight hundred starving creatures daily receive a breakfast at the work house, which amongst the great majority is their only sustenance. SKIBBEREEN, OCT. 12.—1 send you a copy of the minutes of evidence taken on an inquest held in Skib• bereen court house yesterdar, on the body of a poor man, named Jeremiah Hegarty, who resided on the townland of Licknafon, near Skibbereen, and who was found dead on Sunday morning last, at a short distance from the town. The evidence elicited on the inquest renders it unnecessary for me to add one word on the frightful distress which has prevailed in this locality, and indeed in all Carbery. Suffice it to say, that the condition of poor Hegarty, who died of starvation, and his sorrowing but half-starved son-in-law, Driscoll, was better than that of thousands of his neighbours ; for Driscoll is a small farmer in Carbery, he had a little barley, which he was baking privately out of the stack, and using, although Curly Buckley, the driver of Do Courcey O'Grady, had put a cross and keepers on it. There is general dissatisfaction here at the conduct of the Government, and the universal feeling here is, which I hope you will express through your journal, that Lord John Russell is unfit for the pre sent emergency, and that Sir Robert Peel should be again restored to power. We have the name of a Board of Works, who have not yet given half the necessary employment, and the poormen whom they have employed are unable to work for want of food, in consequence of the irregularity of the payments—they are often nine and ten days, and sometimes a fortnight, without receiv their wages. The Relief Committee of Skibbereen have frequently represented to the Board of Works the neces sity of more frequent and more punctual payments, but their representation has not been attended to. Though Indian meal is now one shilling and tenpence per stone, the labourer on the public works is not able to earn eightpence per day regularly. We have the name of a depot in Skibbereen, and a commissary officer to take care of it, but it might as well be in Kamschatka, for though he has a good supply of provision in store yet wo cannot get an ounce of it in Skibbereen, although the poor people are fainting on the streets for want of food. It is really most affecting to see the poor labourers, who are on the streets breaking stones, trying to work, but unable to do so, and occasionally asking the passers-by for a penny to buy a little bread. Many have been obliged to give up the work, from weakness and exhaus tion. We want more work to employ the people. We want more frequent payments, daily if possible, twice a week at least; we want higher wages for the labourers, and we want a sufficient supply of provisions to sell out at a reasonable price, a price proportioned to a man's wages, so that a labourer may be enabled to purchase as much food, as would be sufficient to support him. If we do not get those the poor people must starve. The minutes of testimony which give the details of the case 1 related in the preceding letrer shall be given in our next. CROOKIIAVEN, OCT. 12.—What a deplorable state of things ! A noble peasantry are famishing ! A con tinued parade of their patience, even to the agony of fainting, is kept up every day before a Relief Committee, powerless as themselves, for the purposes of relief. Good God ! how long shall this continue ? Oh, shame on it. All cry out for a sufficient staff to open works for relief, or else be prepared, and that speedily, for unheard-of scenes. Let these committees be either enabled to re lieve, by giving employment, or, for God's sake, relieve them from a pressure they cannot stand longer ; for this feeling is come upon every member of them, from seeing the vast crowds that beset continually their private houses as well as the committee-rooms--every one crying out in paroxysms of hunger, protesting to Heaven that they have not tasted food since yesterday morning, and that they have not a penny to purchase food,, even though it were to save them from death. Next to the religious feeling, the confidence of these distressed men in the benign intentions of the Government has had the effect of a n S d h a g l i l ve not th e t m h e G pr o a v c e t r i n ca m l e p n r t o o o ffi f officials hasten that their confidence t c n o g r th d he e em n i r e eq relief,u is i e well founded ? If this is to be, let not a moment be lost, for now, in truth, delay is dangerous. APPREHENSION OF JOHN PERRY, THE PUGILIST. —NEWBURY, OCT. 15.—This morning, or rather in the middle of the night, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, Police Superintendent Shepherd, of the Win chester force, accompanied by Superintendent Van San ten, of the Andover borough force, apprehended the above-named well-known character at • Speenhamland, Newbury, on a warrant issued by the city magistrates of Winchester, backed by other magistrates, charged with uttering a 201. note, purporting to be of the firm of the University Bank, Oxford, to a Mr. Flight, a tailor, of Winchester. It appears, Perry went to Mr. Flight's shop, and ordered a suit of clothes, for which, when done, he paid with this forged 201. note, receiving in ef-• change the balance in sterling money.

DEAN OF THE CHAPEL ROYAL, EDINBURGH —lt is rumoured in Edinburgh that the vacancy in this office, caused by the death of Dr. Bennie, will not be filled up; in fact, that the office is to be abolished, and the salary appropriated to the endowment of a chair for Biblical Criticism in the University of Edinburgh.
