For the last two or three months the manage ment of the Gazetts seems to have got into new hands, sinco which it has been delayed in its pub lication for upwards of an hour beyond the usual time, whether by design, ignoranco, or in competency we know not. The inconvenience to the public at large the commercial, mili tary, and naval—has become matter of great complaint and loss. Whose fault it is we know not, but the culprit will be brought to the bar of public opinion early next week, and answer for his misconduct, unless he speedily mend his ways.—En. Suit. • [The above appeared in our Third Edition of last evening. The object of the manoeuvre would seem to be to prevent the evening papers from supplying the public all over the United Kingdom with the Gazette as usual for the last thirty years. We shall see.] The new Premier has stumbled over the very first impediment that opposed his progress. He has appealed to the popular branch of the Legis lature to rescind its former vote—its deliberate and decisive vote—to stultify itself by surrender ing its functions into the hands of an Adminis tration, so similar in every respect to that just expelled by an overwhelming majority, that no disinterested or unprejudiced person can recog nise any distinction. The Syracusan DROMIO an ticipates the support denied to his brother. Al though no difference can be discovered on the closest inspection, although microscopic scrutiny fails to identify the real Simon Pure, the nation is called upon to repose unlimited confidence in the one which was refused to the other. We have a repetition of the Shaksperian dialogue, when the elder born and more effete of the two ex claims— "I, sir, am Dromio, command him away !" and the other exclaims— "I, sir, am Dromio, pray let me stay." The permission will, however, depend on the energy and efficiency of the new servant, and we must see sufficient grounds before we repose that ample reliance, that unhesitating confidence so modestly demanded. Lord PALMERSTON was expected to display a vigour and energy adequate to the emergency. He has, however, in place of exhibiting any originality, gone back to the con demned, and we had hoped obsolete, recipes. " Commission, commission, commission," was the - Whig panacea ; and the new Doctor a d o pt s the , T 01 ( 1 prescription, in all its inte gr ity. He i s • , la fact, to parody a rhetorical figure applied to the —"m ore old Lords of the Pale red-tapiat than red-tapism itself." There must, in all probability, be a consider able rise in consequence a su i table supply of the i n creased de mand—andef the raw material of Commissioners will becom e , a question of no ordinary interest. The nation will not, so easily dispense with the xequiredi n vestigation. it must be fairly and bona fide carried out, with out fear, favour, or affection, the p u b lic good being the only object aimed at. The names viz., Messrs. ROEBUCK, LAYARD, already suggested, and DEU3IMOND, Sir J. PAXTON, Lord STANLEY, and Messrs. ELLICE, DISEAELI, WIIITESTDE, BUTT, LOWE, and MILES, a ppear to have been very impartially selected, so that no reason able obj ec ti on can b e ma de. If the House of Commons shows itself to be resolute and per severing —if it resolves that its former verdict, solemnly and deliberately returned, shall not be set aside on merely formal grounds—the new Premier must bow to the decision. Them is no I doubt as to his versatility and genius. He has shuffled the cards once. He must repeat the ex periment. Additi ona l com bi na ti ons are requ i red. It °lust not be altogether the old materials. The, additional "patohwork" must be composed of a superior fabric. The people will no longer be satis fied with professions only. The best-rounded sen tences relating to the future conduct of the War will not atone for its past mismanagement, or recall to life our gallant countrymen who have perished, not by steel or lead—not by the - swords or mis siles of the adversary, but from gross and pal pable neglect—from the undue regard for forms, to the total neglect of the substance. We shall not now enter on the vexata qucestio of the dealings of the present Prime Minister with Lord DERBY, when the Noble Earl required his assistance for the formation of a strong and effi cient Government. Whether Lord PALMERSTON exhibited an " encouraging tenderness," in the first instance, which, after due deliberation with the Peelite " Coryphees," be exchanged for a deci sive negative, is of little consequence. We care not for the men who may be in the office, pro vided the measures be for the national benefit, ABERDEEN, RUSSELL, DERBY, PALMERSTON are nothing to us. It is only the public welfare we look to, and those who show the greatest zeal, and support the British character, will be the best men for the time being. The country must know what have been the causes of the failure of those who undertook the management of public affairs with peculiar advantages—with, as the right Honourable Gentleman the member for Bucks remarked, "an unanimous Parliament, an overflowing Treasury, valiant troops, magnificent fleets, and cordial and powerful Allies." What has been the result ? We have seen it in the waste of our resources, the sacrifice of our ; troops, the shame of our country. We shall not still rely on the used-up machinery. We must see that something be adopted likely to produce the indispensable ameliorations ; and for that a search ing investigation by an independent and unbiassed Committee is essential. That is demanded by the nation—that must be conceded by the Legis lature. We may hope in the good time coming that military merit of every kind will receive both its due honours and more substantial rewards also. Meantime, while Whigs and Peelites are prolong ing the reign of aristocracy and wealth, let the Press of England do its utmost to make up for the deficiencies of the Gazette. Of all the affecting inci dents of the same kind none touched us more than one in which Mr. FREDERICK SKEAD, second master of the Caradoc, acting under the orders of Com mander DERRIMAN, is the chief hero of the story. We outsiders cannot, of course, be supposed to un derstand the proper rules of promotion, but we do know that if the transit service between the camp and Balaklava were under the command of Mr. LINDSAY, M.P., or of Mr. PETO, late M.P., or any gentleman of like thoroughly business habits, their eyes would be at once fixed upon Mr. FRE DERICK SKEAD, aid his speedy advancement would be certain. He would enter soon upon more ex tensive duties, with the inspiring conviction that his kindness, diligence, and skill had not only earned him the reward, dearest to every noble heart— ' the gratitude of relieved sufferers—but that his personal position was correspondingly improved. Nor would Mr. SKEAD be the only person bene fited. All employed in similar duties would in a moment feel that their superiors wanted that kind of service, and would reward it. Every promo tion for real service multiplies indefinitely those who can perform them. 'The principal in any business, the heads of civil departments, and the commanders of armies, who act rigidly on this principle, who hold out no hope through any other, aro invariably well served. We recorded the facts now adverted to in our columns of correspondence on Monday, but it may be wc:l to recal them, lest they should have escaped the attention of any. It appears that our sick and wounded suffer most painfully while being conveyed by mules from the camp to Bala klava. Several of the party always die on the way—on that miserable seven miles' journey which has been the min of our army, which no Skill of the General Commanding-in-Chief, nor that of any of his subordinates, could better. Arrived at the water's edge, the travelling miseries of the invalids were not over. They had long to wait there before they could be got from the fatal shore to the luxurious comforts of berths and hammocks on board ship, and the almost Para disaical blessing of shelter from the weather, and dry clothing. Perceiving this, the commander and his second master seem to have taken the shore as well as ship matters into their own hand. The huts could not be got over the impracticable seven miles ; they appropriate, therefore, the timber, the crow erect a hut, land a ship's copper, boil water, and get ready for the poor freezing, languid invalids who may have lived through the seven miles' journey a pint of warm tea and a; bis cuit each. The poor fellows ale delighted beyond measure by such tender and considerate fore thought. Compassion and foresight had become novelties to them. "It is impossible," says the writer, " to describe the gratitude which the men express for the comfort which they derive from this slight sustenance ; . . . and painful to the last degree to see the miserable, broken-down frames of our men clamouring and struggling with all their little strength for a cup of the steaming drink." Poor dear fellows ! probably the last approach to anything of the kind which they had seen was the green coffee-berries. After such a journey—jolted in their weakness through the mud and cold of the seven miles, to find at the end of it the beverage which more than anything else cheers even us in our health at the end of a few hours' railway trip—they must almost have fancied themselves once more in the cottages of their wives or mothers. For the carrying out of all this they were in debted to Mr. FREDERICK SKEAD. " The whole management of this little store is vested in him, and the unremitting kindness, patience, and atten tion with which he arranges all for the comfort of the sick men deserve the highest praise. Morning, noon, and night, whenever the sick come in, he is busy at this truly charitable work;" which, at a merely nominal outlay, relieves more misery and suffering than some of the richest charities in London." We have no doubt that such female readers as honour us with their attention, when they learn what comfort their daily manufacture could pro duce amongst the poor sufferers, are somewhat as tonished that so easy a matter should tie found any difficulty anywhere. It would seem to them that whe reverkettle could be made to boil, half a pound of tea, or of ro as ted and ground coffee, could meat eas il y ho Gipsy PwairttliietBii e: cl u alrer i ri n ee (ti t i. l l i c e y i Tr have h o et carri g ed el l t . s t 1 7 Be v ul e lt. r i t l ol t el o et . 11 i them remember th at all that was unofficial work. They had not to go to ono • le authority for their biscuit, to another for their tea, to another for their kettle, and were not sent by the said autho rities to others whose " department" it was to in •ovidi) the kettle , or the tea, or the biscuit re rhaps these second authorities hav spectively, pe ing to wait for orders from their superiors. W e leave them to judge what chance, in such a case, they would have ha d 1 of an impromptu cup of tea. Lot our fair readers, or their lords, who perhaps read this to them, know, however, that such is the due come of providing tea for soldiers both here and at Balaklava ; except when some Com mander DERRIMAN, and his admirable second master, Mr. SWD, determine to take the tea department of the Commissariat into their own hands. The ladies will excuse us if we express ' our belief that scores of sailors in the service, if encouraged as they ought to be, would soon rival the performances of our housekeepers themselves in handiness amidst exigencies. Mr. FRIDERICK STAID is both in head and heart but a specimen of many hundreds now afloat. If Lords PAL MERSTON and PANMUZE do but intend to begin promoting ability and worth, they will soon find a plentiful harvest both iu the army and navy. It is a singular coincidence that rumours have been rife in Paris of the intention of Lours NA POLEON to visit the Crimea, while it is stated that our army is falling back to be au army of reserve and to defend Balaklava. The French, from the comparative smallness of their losses, and their large reinforcements, must have probably five or six times more men than we at Sebastopol, and in far better working condition also ; they have al ready relieved us, taking part of our "attack," as it is termed, and it is not improbable that they may be in a condition to take yet more. Their works, also, are advanced much nearer than ours ; indeed it would appear from many accounts as if they might in one part commence at any time a hand-to-hand contest for one part of the town, It is certainly not impossible that the EMPEROR may wish his name to be associated with the storming of Sebastopol; and if he do, he is not the man to be lightly diverted from his purpose. There can be little doubt, moreover, that the name of NAPOLEON would be a glorious watch word for the fellow-countrymen of those who pe rished in the retreat from Moscow. And Sebas topol stormed by the French under NAPOLEON after his troops had successfully wintered before it, would be a grand historic parallel for Moscow burnt by the Russians to destroy NA.ro- LEON I. and his army by Russian snows. It will be, moreover, the destruction of a vast fortressbuilt by the CZARS for the most nefarious purposes, and where Russians have no right to be, instead of the conquest of a city which the CZARS ought never to have left, and to which they must be driven back again if Europe is to have lasting peace. Should he go to the Crimea on such a mission, we only hope he will return determined to be present at the storming of Warsaw also. Euro pean history, then, could never forget him. NIONEY MA RKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet again, but without any particular alteration in prices. The sales were estimated at about 6,000 bales. Orleans is sd. ; Uplands at Sid. ; and Mobile at 51d. per lb. Thero was a firmer tone in the Railway Share Market, though the aggregate transactions were limited. Writing of the interview which the, court of the Russia Company had a day or two since with Earl Clarendon, Messrs. Smith and Charles en tirely confirm the account we gave. They state— "The appointment of Lord John Russell as Minister Plenipotentiary to conduct the Vienna negotiations on the part of this country is regarded as a guarantee that these negotiations will not be suffered to be indefinitely protracted, but that, on the contrary, measures will be adopted to bring the conference to a speedy decision. On Monday last the Court of the Russia Company—an eminent and highly influential association, originally formed to protect th• interests of the merchants en gaged ia commercial transactions with St. Peters burg, and composed at all times of the most dis tinguished houses in the trade, including members of Parliament, and recently the late Lord Syden ham—waited on Lord Clarendon, to represent to him the injustice to this country of permitting the trade with Russia to be carried on, and expressing their leadi ness to abandon it till the war should be bronght to a close. We hare taken much pains to ascertain the result of the interview, and we believe we are right in asserting that while there are several members of the Government who view the subject in the light repre sented by the court of the Russia Company, there are others who would let matters take their course, and that, consequently, should the question of prohibiting the overland trade be brought before Parliament, it %Nil' be an open question in the Cabinet. Such being the case, there can be little doubt that Mr. Collier's motion for stopping the trade, supported by a considerable part of the Cabinet, and, as we have reason to believe, by the Opposition generally, will be carried by a large majority." Bills of Exchange upon foreign parts were nego tiated yesterday afternoon at fuller rates generally. Paris was at 25 30 to 35 for 90 days' paper, Am sterdam at 11 17i to 18, Hambnrgh at 13 51 to 6, and Trieste at 12 48 to 55.

LATEST NEWS. THE SEErE OF SEBASTOPOL. VIENNA, SATURDAY, 9 A.M. The Vietnna papers state that, on the 3d of February, a convention was concluded between England rind Turkey, by which the former took 20,000 Turks into her pay. The whole of Southern Anatolia is declared in a state of siege. The combined attack of the fleets and army was shortly to take place on Sebastopol. Both the Russian Grand Dukes are now with an army of 30,000 men at Davanktz, on the Balbek. The batteries of the Allies in the third parallel are so well placed that they completely command part of the south side of the fortress. The remainder of the British army, hardly 10,000 men, will be reorganised, and defend the upper valley of the Tchernaya and Balaklava. ST. PETERSBURG, FRIDAY. Prince Menschikoff reports from Sebastopol on he Bth inst. : " The general situation is unchanged. We continue to disturb the besiegers. Deserters affirm that the French are guarding the trenches, on account of the great losses of the English. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Moniteur of this day thus notices the report of an alleged mutiny of Zouaves : " Foreign journals have published injurious reports regarding the discipline of the army. " These reports are without foundation, and the discipline of the army has never been inter rupted. " The troops have, on the contrary, on all oc casions, shown their obedience and attachment to their chiefs." It is asserted here that a treaty betweeu France and Prussia will be signed to-morrow. The letters which have been received here from Constantinople, dated the sth inst., announce that the French troops actually at Constantinople had been ordered to leave immediately for the Crimea. The naval commander had consequently called into requisition all the transports anchored in the Bosphorus. The Princess Royal, which had to land a regi ment at Constantinople, has been ordered to go . on to Balaklava. BRUSSELS, FRIDAY NIGHT. In the Chamber of Representatives, on an in terpellation addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that functionary declared that no steps yet taken could induce Belgium to join the West ern Powers, or to assume an armed neutrality. Belgium would invoke the treaties of 1839. The neutrality of Belgium was in the interest of Europe ; European international rights are in volved in the neutrality of Belgium. Riza Paella, who is to take part in the ap proaching conferences at Vienna, landed at Trieste on Thursday. The Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige writes as follows, respecting the rumoured intended departure of the Emperor of the French for the Crimea. "Notwithstanding the general silence of the Government papers, and perhaps because of that silence, I for ray part persist in believing in the truth of all that has been said respecting a journey of the Emperor to the Crimea. The less incredulous say that he is only going to Nancy. Allow me, nevertheless, to in sist, nay, to add, that his departure was actually fixed for the 20th inst., and has been postponed to the 22d. You see that lam precise, and that my information comes from a good source." As regards the .negotiations with Prussia, the same correspondent observes— " That they were pending; that M. de Wedell awaited a final reply from his Cabinet ; that the bases of the proposed treaty remained. the same, but of a more precise nature, than those of the treaty of the 2d of December. Prussia is par ticular about knowing what she signs, and, to use a vulgar expression, the dots have been put on the i's for her. Baron Usedom has been at Paris for some days, and has apartments in the same hotel as M. de Wedell. You will observe that he has not been officially presented to his Majesty. Ho lives retired, that is to say, he does not mix in political circles, and will probably leave with his colleague. M. de Wedell and M. de Hatzfield dined, on Thursday, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "So much for Prussia. As regards Austria she is advancing more vigorously than ever in the views of the Weston Powers, and the Russians feel convinced that, if the conferences fail, ♦ustria will go to war with Russia. There is a report that M. de Flahault will proceed to Vienna; but I have no good authority for it." TURKEY. CiONSTAIN TLNO PLE, Feb. s.—Gen. Guyon (Kur chid Paella), well known as the leading staff officer of the army of Anatolia, arrived from Trebizond yesterday morning. The loss by the fire is ♦ery severe, and is com puted at the sum of 300,000 f. A great number of individuals have been taken up. The Jean Bart, Frenek three-decker, arrived a couple of days ago from Sebastopol, on her way to Toulon ; but owing to the pressing demands of the service she was ordered back with 600 men on board. The Turkish steam-frigate Mahbir-i-Niridi has also been ordered to take up troops, and I am told the Friedland, Valmy, and Ville de Paris, French line- of-battle ships, are all under orders for Sebastopol with troops. A most exciting scene took place a few days ago, when 860 Armenian and Turkish porters wore en gaged to proceed to Balaklava, to aid in unloading the traneporte, and to work at the tramway. The agent sent down for the purpose offered 41. ss. per month, and a biscuit ration for each man. These conditions were jumped at by all the porters of the place. Several thousand healthy sturdy fellows came forward, and those who were rejected ex pressed such sincere regret that it was heartrending to hear them. RUSSIA. A letter from Hamburg of the 13th inst. says : " Letters from Poland, which were received here yesterday and to-day, agree in stating that, since the beginning of the month, various movements have taken place among the Russian troops in that kingdom. Prince Gortschak - off, whose army had been much weakened by the successive. departure of various corps for Odessa, had received reinforce ments from Volhynia and Podolia. It was sup posed that the two divisions which had loft Lublin and Zamosc were destined to replace the different regiments which will leave those provinces to join Prince Gortschakoff's army in Bessarabia. " The Russian Government is turning the win ter to account, which in this country facilitates the means of transport, by sending stores of every description to Odessa, and thence by Perekop to the Crimea; Caravans of hundreds or sledges are sent from all points of the Empire, and especially from Moscow, with provisions and clothing for the arm y. " The Minister of Marine at St. Petersburg has received a detailed report from Councillor Kryloff, sent, in November last, to Sebastopol to organize the service of the hospitals and military ambulances. This report states that a marked improvement was visible in the sanitary condition of the garrison. The barracks were in a good condition, and the sick and wounded in the hospitals received every care and attention. "The famous surgeon, Giragoff, who, with a body of volunteer surgeons, had left St. Petersburg for the Crimea in November, was rendering signal services to the wounded. The reports of the Ge nerals to the Government speak in the highest terms of the devotion with which M, Giragoff ful ills his mission, and of the acts of benevolence ren dered by the Sisters of Charity sent out by the Gra,ud Duchess Helena at her own expense to the Crimea." - -A ITALY. ROME, FEB. 10.—Volunteers for the British fo reign levies continue to present themselves at the British consulate, and frequently come from places at some distance, on the erroneous supposition that they will be immediately enlisted. Great is their disappointment on discovering that ' . the consul has no instructions to that effect. The French have hitherto profited by the military aspirations of such as have been willing to serve in their foreign legion, and letters have been received from some Romans in that corps who have taken part in the actions in the Crimea ; but, owing to a lingering remembrance of the French invasion in 1849, the disbanded sol diers, who then crossed bayonets with Oudinot's troops, have still too much antipathy to the ban ners of France to wish to serve under them, and would infinitely prefer those of England. Six more French hospital surgeons are on the point of leaving Rome, their services being more required now in the East than by the diminished garrison here. • The Swiss colonel of Artillery, Ellgor, has been appointed, with the rank of brigadier-general, to the command of the second military division of the Roman army, with head-quarters at Ancona. The Carnival has commenced this afternoon with the usual senatorial procession down the Corso. The national debt of the Roman States amounts in round numbers to 73,000,000 scudi (15,000,0001.) almost entirely contracted since the reign of Pius VII. HOLLAND.—Dutch newspapers confirm an an nouncement that the Government of Holland is preparing to send an extraordinary embassy to the Emperor of Japan, in order to take advantage of his friendly disposition towards Europeans. BERLIN, Feb. 14.—The report of the Crown havine , decided to withdraw the bill for redesignat ing the two Chambers, before it should come to a third reading, has not yet been confirmed. Nor does it appear that the project for forbidding the export aq well as the transit of munitions and contraband of war is likely to be carried into effect. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. Mr. Roebuck has given notice that on Thursday next he will nominate the following gentlemen to be the Select Committee to inquire into the state of the Army before Sebastopol :—Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Layard, Sir Joseph Paxton, Lord Stanley, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. George Butt, Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Miles. Mr. Roebuck will also move that it be an in struction to the Committee on the state of the Army beforo Sebastopol to limit its inquiries in the first part of the resolution (namely, the condition of the army in the Crimea) to the past physical condition of the same. Mr. Henry Baillie has given notice that, on the nomination of the Select Committe on the Arniy before Sebastopol, he will move that it be an in struction to the Committee to inquire whether the expedition to the Crimea, at so late a period of the year, was undertaken in consequence of direct orders issued by the Government, and whether it received the sanction and approval of the Allied Generals who commanded the expedition. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Helena, and attended by the Countess of Desart and Lord Alfred Paget, visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday afternoon, at her residence, Gloucester House. Prince Albert presided yesterday afternoon at a Erman , of the governors of the Wellington College. Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the Prin cess's Theatre with their presence in the evening. The royal suite consisted of the Countess of Desart, Hon. Matilda Paget, Lord de Tabley, Lord Alfred Paget, and Captain the Hon. D. de Roe. Mr. John Wood, chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, and Mr. Pressly, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. Sir Alexander Spearman had also an interview with the right hon. gentleman, at his residence in 1) ,wning street. Despatches for the Governors of the North American Provinces, and also for the Governors of the West India Islands, were sent last evening from the Colonial-office. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Feb. 17.—Wind and weather this day at noon, N. 4,; strong breeze, and sharp frosty weather. MARGATE, Feb. 16. —The Caroline, from Hartlepool, struck the bank outside, and afterwards the pier, and ro• ceived sonic damage.' PLYMOUTH, Feb.

Arrived—Panama, from London, for the Mediterranean, had been in collision at the mouth of the river, on the 14th, with the Swift sure, from Barrow, the latter lost bowsprit, &c. PUT THE SADDLE ON THE RIGHT HORSE.—The pro secution of the inquiry into the mismanagement of the war in the Crimea is objected to, on the ground that it will " supply all who are our enemies, and all who are not much our friends, with every possible material for contemptuous commentary." Unfortunately, the con sequences of the mismanagement have already supplied abundant matter for such commentary. The inquiry will only show our enemies and equivocal friends who they are who deserve the contempt. At present they think that it is the nation ; the inquiry will show them that it is only a few bungling imbeciles in high office. The inquiry will put the saddle on the right horse, and that is the reason why it is so strenuoudy opposed.—Daily News.

A CAUTION' FOR FROSTY WEITIIER.—In accident, attended with serious, and, it may be, fatal conse quences, occurred yesterday, about one o'clock, at the house, 12, Park View, Chorlton-road. It was the bursting of a kitchen boiler, arising, as it seems, from the heating of it whilst empty, and supplying it with cold water whilst in a heated state. The sufferers by the accident were two women; both were very much bruised and scalded. One bad her thigh fractured—the other was so severely scalded that it is feared, if she escape with life, she will be totally deprived of her eye-sight ; but slight hopes arc entertained of her recovery. The accident, it appears, arose in this way. The cistern sup plying the boiler is over the back part of the house. Its supply of water is regulated by a ball tap. The water descend by means of a pipe to the boiler at the side of the kitchen fire, is heated by passing through it, and finding its own level ascends by another pipe to a hot water cistern, which adjoins the cold water one. The house bad been unoccupied about a week. The recent cold weather had frozen the contents of the cold water cistern, and the descent to the loating boiler was thus stopped. On Monday an incoming tenant took posses sion of the house. A fire was lighted in the kitchen. The leat evaporated the contents of the heating boiler, and it was thus totally emptied. YeEterdey another fire was lighted in the morning,, and by noon the boiler would be heated almost to reiinese. A supply of water being required, a lad was sent up to the cistern. H e broke away the ice, and the water being thus liberated a terrific explosion ensued. The boiler was shattered to pieces, as well as the contents of the kitchen. The brick work about it was thrown down ; and a br:ek was ac tually forced through an outer wall some three or four yards distant. A door opposite was broken to pieces ; tho windows of that and the houses on both sides were smashed ; and, indeed, the destruction was so extensive and complete that it is surprising the two women who were in the place, and who were engaged in cleaning, were not killed on the spot.—Manchester Guardian. i SHARE MARKETS.
