EXPLOSION ON BOARD T!I ABBOTTS BEADING, AND LOSS OF LIFE. Captain Halsted, R.N., secretary to Lloyd's, has re c.ived the following communication from the Admiralty, reporting a shocking catastrophe on board the English ship Abbott Reading, of Liverpool, while lying in Val paraiso Harbour, on the 12th of Sept. last, accompanied with loss of life, as briefly noticed in our shipping news of Wednesday : " Her Majesty's ship Nereus, Valparaiso, Sept. 13, 1555. " Sir,—ln the absence of the Commander•in-Chief, I beg to report, for the information of my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, the result of a frightful explo sion by gunpowder which took place on board the Bri tish ship Abbotts Reading, of Liverpool, John Walsh waster, in this port, on the afternoon of yesterday, the 12th inst. ; and that you will be plea, , ed to point out to their lordships the careless manner in which gunpowder is put on board and stowed in merchant vessels trading to this coast. "It appears from authentic sources which I have ascertained, that the said ship had on board, on her at , rival, 1,315 kegs of gunpowder, each keg containing 251 b., and that tqese were stored not only on the top, but in discriminately among the general cargo, which was com posed of iron, paint, pitch, hardware; &c. These kegs at e all of tight construction, being wooden hoopei and liable to sustain damage easily by the ordinary working of a ship at sea. I have found by inquiry that the, whole contents of eight of these keg had been strevenatnongst the cargo, and that twenty others hal 133ett landed halt empty, with the heads out of some and hoops wanting on others ; that on discharging the cargo, and when re moving come casks on the iron bars, the friction caused the wasted powder to explode, thereby blowing up the entire of the upper deck, and inflicting dreadful injury to some and loss of life of two of the ship's crew, four others being at this moment in a very precarious state. This is by no means a solitary instance, but is the in v ,riable mode in which gunpowder is stowed on board merchant ships arriving at this port. " I beg that you wilt be pleased further to inform their lordships that I have just received per barque Mary Anu Johnstone a supply of gunpowder and shells and other ordnance stores for the use of the Pacific squadron, the powder beinc , somewhat about 50 t ons weight, and that the Board of b Ordnance bad caused a pro per magazine to be contracted in the hod of the vessel for its reception. So far the Government powder and combustibles were in a comparative state of security ; but, in addition to this, the ship had oa board 400 kegs of gunpowder of the same description I have named, which was stowed in the same indiscriminate manner above described, among casks, iron bars, and jars of naphtha, and, from an inspection of the vessel, I am only surprised she esniped . without accident. " In conclusion, I have deemed it my imperative duty to make this communication, in order, if their lordships think fit, to draw the attention of the Board of Trade and that of the C4mmittee of Lloyd's to the subject, so that some regulations may be made, compulsory on mas ters and owners of ships conveying gunpowder, to have proper naagazines constructed for its reception, so as to avert it possible a recurrence of the aid catastrophe we were witnesses of yesterday.—l am, sir, &C. ' (Signed) " ALEXANDER MAMMY, Master Commander. "To the Secretary of the Admiralty." THE BUFAST BANQUET. -_ ~.,~_~ LORD CARLISLE IN THE NORTH. _ DUBLIN, Friday Morning.—The banquet, which Was given in the Music-ball, was attended by upwardi of 250 parsons, among . whom may be enumerated the Marquis of Londonderry, Viscount Gough, Viscount Massareene, Lords Rossinore, Annesley, Dufferin, Robe. Montague, and Lurgan ; S:r R o b er t Bateson' Bart., Sir James ' Emmerson Tennant, Mr. W. Ki r k, 111.P.,Mr. R. Davison, M.P., Mr. J. Richard,on, M P., Dlr. Jas. Whiteside, M.P., Major-General Gough, Mr. William air.2,an, Mr. Wibiain S. Crawf)rd, the Lard Bishop of Down, the Right Rev. Dr. Denvir, &c: After the health of her Majesty had been duly honoured, the toast of the Emperor of the French was proposed by the Mayor, and received with the most overwhelming applause. The futile attempt which was made a short time since to prevent the toast being given at the banquet doubtless stimulated the enthusiasm which was manifested. The MAYOR then rose, and propuFed " The health - of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland." He said that his Ex cellency was well known to them all. He had been in Ireland in 1835, and won the golden opinions of the people of this country. Since then, after storing his mind by travel in foreign countries, lie had come home, and was intrusted by her Majesty with the government of Ireland. They all admired his virtues and high qua lities, and he was sure would respond to the toast. His EXCELLENCY replied as follows certainly do think it a very great and crowning honour to the warmth of welcome which I have experienced on my first visit to the north of Ireland and the town of Bel fast to have had my name received as it has just bee.n.by such a c impany as that which is no assembled here. I see around me many men of large hereditary property and high historic descent, members of all our leading professions, including heroic ornaments of our military ..circles. (Cheers.). • I see-dimi ta ries -of —Cie •eh omit) Art lights of the law, and especially many of the enlight ened and spirited architects of their own fortune•, who have nurtured the marvellous Progr,s- of Belfast and of its whole adjacent region. (Hear.) lam conscious that I sustain one gr eat diQadvantage from never having been here before. I can perceive and can wonder at the in dications of activity, life, industry, and public spirit which surround me on every side, but I cannot compare the present with the past, from which it has emerged. I can say much has been done, but I cannot rightly esti mate how much of that has been done by the active hands and thinking heads which now throng your streets and are gathered around this very board. I cannot tell how rapidly achieved has been the con trast between the present aspect of your wards and thoroughfares and that period when the Lough only gleamed between silent hills—when neither chim neys nor palaces fringed the side; of the Lagan. It always seeint to me to be rather a piece of sup r fluous i.npertinence when a stranger who has been the last to arrive proceeds to drench thoso who have all their lives been inhabitants of the place with a c Tious dose of their own statistics. Belfast is sufficiently provided with merchants, with manufac turers, with professors of science and literature, to fur i.ish all the information that can be needed respecting its progress in commerce, manufactures, religion, wealth, and education. It has many useful and noble institte tutions for the instruction of youth and for the promo tion of the knowledge of religion. May it ever find a great many to profit by them ! It has, I have witnessed to-day, as good a prison as any in the land. May it find very few to profit by it ! I have no doubt that, like other great commercial communities, this district sus tains its periods of reverse and depression ; and I doubt not that the terrific war which is now shaking Europe to its centre must make itself felt in the conduct of busi ness as extensive as yours, and which leans so much upon the supply of raw material from such a wide circumfer ence. What influence this ought to have upon the cul tivation of flax in your own fields I must leave to prac tical men to decide. But, while matters such as these must be decided, and can only be decided, by considera tions of material interest, higher and more interesting considerations have no weight at all. I have had the opportunity of seeing how many of the men of Belfast, of Antrim, of Down, and of Ulster, as well as of the other Irish provinces, hare returned from the seat of war piteously wounded and disabled, but exhibiting as much of patience and exemplary fortitude in their for lorn condition as they had done of heroic daring in the deadly breach and on the crimson battle-field. I make no scruple to declare that every dey that passes over our heads makes me intensely long for the day when the sword can be sheathed with honour ; and, as it i, the happy fortune of this country to be able, when its sons assemble kr festive purposes, to drink the health of so many Sovereigns as its allies, I trust we may see the day when a stiil longer list of toasts will number every Sovereign in Europe without excep tion. But till the attainment of a pea -se which shall be at once fair, safe, and honourable—(cheer-)—I feel confident that, while our soldiers are thus prodigal of life and limb, our citizens will be cheerful and resolute to makina the exertion with a struggle entails, ea5.4.1,411at you, gentlemen of Ulster, will show yourse'ves as equal to the eaerifices of war as you have in times past shown yourselves able to reap the noblest laurels of peace. With respect to my own share in the proceedings of this evening, and to the two busy days which preceded and follow it, you a-e, I believe, aware that I came hither originally more upon a matter of private and domestic than of public, and certainly not in any degree what is usually termed political concern. (Hear.) But, now that we are assembled here in more formal guise, and more after the usual manner of public assemblies, I feel con fident that no political difference will betray itself be tween us. In the higher and more true sense of poll tics, indeed—how to govern communities by the light of temperate wisdom and in the paths of Heaven-directed order—how to train citizens to the noblest purp 'sea of their existence—here, I trust, no essential difference will be found among parties, however opposed, or churches, however divided. In this respect we can all widely benefit the country and the age to which we be long by cheerful obedience to the law of the realm, by that spirit of conciliation, 'forbearance, and love which is the higher law of Heaven. The condition of Ireland is at present such, on the whole, as gives rise in my mind to the strongest feeling of satisfaction and of hops. There is generally a manifest decrease of outrage and °rime, with one or two occasional hideous exceptions, sufficient to warn ne, where human conduct is concerned, never to presume. A griculure is undergoing an immense develop ment, and it must be the task of many of you, gentlemen, to see that our manufacturing processes exhibit the same progress. New schools of education, new colleges of learning, new temples of religion, are multiplying on every side. The general condition of the people is strikingly advanced in ease and comfort. They are better fed, they are better clad, there ie an infinitely greater pro portion of shoes and stockings—(laughter)—than when I was here last, and the new complaint of Ireland is that there are almost too few to work and too few mouths to be fed. I have heard, indeed, lately something of new arrivals being expected in this country from America. Well then, gentlemen, will they be all Irishmen, returning home to till their fields again, to work their looms again, to kiss their wives and families again ? It so, we will heartily bid then welcome provided they at least come in some moderation. Can it be that they could come, that any could come here with any hostile intention ? I feel sure that the good sense, as well as the good feeling, of all true-hearted Irishmen or Americans would repudiate the monstrous supposition. (Loud cheer=.) If, contrary to all expectation and all reason, they would so come, I ought not to say that they would be as welcome as the others ; but of this I feel content—that the Antrim Rifles, whom I left in Dublin, and the North Down Rifles, whom I find in Belfast, will be able to give a very good account of them. But we will not let such monstrous images mar our social harmony, and I would rather leave you with bright impressions about you of successful commerce, rewarded industry, restored peace, and extended civilisation. These ideas connect themselves permanently with the town of Belfast. The best way for, me to embody them is to ask of you to drink to the health of it first magistrate, the chairman, who so ably presides over the proceedings of this evening. (CheerS.) Captain T. VERNER, Mayor, responded in a few ap propriate sentences. Lord R. MONTAGUE, High Sheriff of Antrim, gave the " Army and Navy," and prefaced it in a becoming manner. " Our Gallant Allies," was proposed by Lord MASSEREENE, and " the Memory of those who have fallen in resisting the Aggressions of Russia" was given by Mr. WurrEsiDE, M.P., in a long and eloquent speech. " Her Majesty's Ministers" followed ; and " The House of Lords and Commons" was responded to by Lord LONDONDERRY and Mr. KERR, M.P. Several other toasts were given and responded to. The pro ceedings did not terminate till after midnight. ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.

STAMPED SD• TilE EARL OF ALBE-.4IARLE ON THE .LABOURING CLASSES. I, The E:141 of 'Albemarle has returned to the charge [' t the drunkenness - which now disgraces the agrf -2,,.. cu10r...148, • al labourers, of East Anglia, and to which he re ! ferfel at the recent meeting at Benham, Norfolk. The lt , inual meeting of the Shrophana and Gciltcross Associ ation was held at East Harling, near Thetford, on Tues day, snd.his lordship addressed the recipients of prizes at consi,lerdble length: After some observations of a local and complinv , ntary character he said, 7 --As•Presi-- dent of this association, my first duty is to intimate to all V71.,0 have been recipients of p r iz es to-d a y that they • are not intended as rewards for any services you may haze performel to your employers, but as au earnest of ttie goodwill and good feeling of the members of the •associaticn - towards meritorious cottagers, labourers, and servants. They are also intended to secure that which every day becomes more important—the promotion of harmony and good feeling among all - classes of agri cultural society. I see by the certificates here given— certificates 'signed either by your employers, by the minis ters of the parishes in which yon live, or by one of the members of the association—that you are sober, honest, and industrious. I rejoice to hear it; and Ido not think I should be discharging my duty as President of this association if I were not to implore all of you by precept and example to preserve that character, and to endeavour to extend and spread it among your fellow-labourers in yoUr respective parishes. This is a matter which I con sider of the deepest importance, and every day, as the circumstances of the times alter, it is becoming more so. Certainly the public accounts are most appalling and alarming from an opposite course—the want of sobriety in the taboo' ing ci Lsses, and especially, I 1.0 , ret to say, in the Mow Lig classes o f these counties of • Suffolk. 1 had some little time ago occasiot. a taro body of the,labouring clawee tip,ofiche,sauie sulx, deti, 444 :sl. poi*itect-iukkidifi fearful. loss of life and health which diunkemnees occa sions. I would just for a moment allude to another loss —the loss of money. That agdin is a most fearful feature of the case. Toe labouring classes (it is stated :by public . . docutnent.4) spend one-third, if not one-half, of their earn ings, which should go to•the sustenance of their families, in drink. They are said to spend in this way annually the enormous sum of 57,006,000/. ; that 57,000,0001. would pay the whole of the national expenses. It would pay, including the expense of the army and navy, in time of peace, and the miscellaneous estimate; the in- terest upon 808,000,000/. of debt. It would pay all local ratei acd taxes of every sort, tithes, county rates, and whatever comes under the denomination of local :axes ; and it would support 1,000,000 families at the rAte of 1.65. per week. My duty will not allow me to pass the subject over quite in silence at the present moment. I wont inflict my speech at Banhain again upon you, my friends, but if any of you have any curiosity to know what I said upon that occasion, I will tell you that a neighbour of mine, Mr. Seott Surtees, has published the transactions of that meeting together with a number of other valuable documents—l don't include my speech among them, of course—(laughter) —which may, I ihitik, be read with advantage by every class and by every per .on I have n , w the honour of addressing. I have we some copies of the pamphlet Mr. Surtees had pub- shed, and I shall be happy t; give a copy to any person who will do me the honour to ask for it, provided they will enter into an agreement that they will read it .elves, and, if possi — b!e, to their neighbours and families. I h.tve d,velt, now, upon sobrikty. Yiu are said hero tr: be honest, sober, and industrious, and I have omitted the other words, because I have not much fear of honesty and industry if sobriety be preserved. If there be a departure from it the others are in very great jeopardy. Tile point upon which I dwelt when 1 last spoke upon this subject was the connection between drunkenness and crime ; and you will find by this small pamphlet which I have mentioned to you, that I quoted six judges of the land to show the effect which was pro duced by drink. Among the rest I quoted the dying words of Mr. Justice Tals3urd, and if I now men ion his words again , it is not with reference so much to the labouring classes as to the rest of the community. Mr. Justice Taifourd accused others besides the labouring c asses. He distinctly accused the class to which I my self belong, and witb which I am immediately in con nection. I will not read all that he said, nor would I quote a word if I were addressing merely the Shropham and Guiltcross Association. But there's a'• chielainang us taking notes," and the words that are said 'ere will _ _ go frotri - one end of the country to the other—at least from one end of the county to the other ; and I am not addressing you particularly, but landlords, tenants, and •abourer; all over the country. Mr. Justice Taltour t says : —" I cannot help thinking that this drunkenness may be in no small degree attributable to the separation between class and class which is the curse of British so- ciety, and in which we are all in our respective spheres in some degree responsible. lam afraid that we all of us keep too lunch aloof from those beneath us, whom we thus encourage to look upon us with suspicion and dis like." In another part of his charge he says :—" This feeltittc.,arisinz from -that the British character"=--nothing was ever more true ; it is that which causes bashful Englishmen t, be laughed at in all countries wherever they go, and no body is feeling it more than myself at the present mo ment—" does, I think, greatly tend to prevent that ming-ring of class with dabs, that reciprocation of kind words and friendly offices, which tend to the culture of the affections of the heart and the elevation of the cha- raster of those to whom they are addressed." I believe the judge to be right ; I hope he is ; and, if my assurance as one of the higher classes be of any avail, 1 am sure I may say that, it the expression of our sympathy with you will do anything towards producing a kindly feeling to wards you and raising your character, I, for one, shall take upon myself the responsibility of my class, and en deavour, as far as my small influence will go, to promote that good feel mg. Every one present may, in some way be useful. Every one who betters the condition of the poor is helping to put down that degrading vice of drun kenness which arises, I belive, very much from the want of that expression of sympathy and those alternations of friendly offices between one class and the other, of which Ju-tice Taliourd speaks. There is another class con nected with the land to whom I would address myself most affectionately and most respectfully—l mean the occupiers: of the soil. I would not for one moment be sup posed to be speaking here to the occupiers of the Siirop ham and Gui tcross hundreds. I have the honour to have for my tenants as respectable, honourable, and estimable a body of men as any in existence. I am on good terms with all my neighbours, and am not now speasing to in dividual=, but to a class ; I am speaking to the occupiers of the soil in their corporate capacity—end I remember my kind and dear friend Lord Colborne, with that most agreeable manner which he had, saying to me one day, " Corporate bodies can bear being hit rather hard." We were speaking not of a body of farmers, but of a body of clergymen—of a dean and chapter, and Lord Col borne said, " A dean and chapter shall be composed of the best men that ever lived ; they shall be unexception able in their individual characters, but in their collective capacity they would divide a murder among them." (Laughter.) It is in their collective capacity that I speak to the farmers. I am not now alluding particularly to this county, but I say that the farmer ought not to treat the labouring man as a mere machine out of which a certain quantity of work is to be obtained; but that he should remember that the power ho naturally has as an employer of the labourer is a trust to be exer cised for the benefit of those whom Providence has con signed to his sympathy and protection. My friends, labouring men, if we tender to you the hand of good fellowship, have we not a right to ask something on your parts in return ? What do we ask of you ? Do we ask for any favour ? No ; we a4e you nut to injure your selves—to abstain from drink ; not to do that which in jures your health, ruins your family, blasts your charac ter, and leads you to the perpetration of crimes. We ask you not to squander that which would improve your household comforts and raise you in the scale of society. I wish to see the labouring men in this country a little more like freeborn Englishmen ; I wish to see the la bourer raised in every possible way. We are the ad miration of the world, and ours is the freest country in the wurl4'. In the southern portion of America, which calls itself free, there are slaves ; but the moment those slaves come in England, that moment they are free. A poet of the last century has said—" Slaves cannot live in England. When their lungs receive our air that mo ment they are free ; they touch our country, and their shackles fall." But the poet makes no allusion to the freeborn man who makes himself a slave — a slavet, o drink—a slave who sells his birthright, not like Eirsiaeunds, a mess of porridge, but for a pot et beer. I trust I shall be forgiven for dwelling thus muchMY upon i at this subject. I assure you I have your heart, and as far as it is in my power I nterests lwill want to strike to promote them. Don't imagine that 'endeavour at your amusements. I was at a greattlk I wish to drench tea meeting the other day, and some of you may thi you with tea; bur when I spoke against system of large-s—l am happy to see the abominable a tenant farmer, in another part of the county, calling against it the diabolical system of largess—l did not speakofit—its drunkenness, and itsainst the harvest di nner, but against the abus e set his ag face nst against it when harvest against system of going from.d y oo la r ho to ur d in o 7m . an l s to poke that, and I implo re every time next comes round.

I regret that a very strong sense of d u ty has obliged me to intrude so ranch upon your time, and I can only say that my ardent and sin cere wish is t raise the labouring cla:,s&.es in the social scale. (Applause.) At the dinner, in the evening, attended by the sub scribers to the association, his lordship further enforced the necessity of inducing and assisting the poor to raise themselves as much as possible by habits. frugal and virtuous ;0 9 ---..er-c--- . - Naval an 4 Military 'gent% t he following general order aa been issued : " Horse Gliactis, Oct. 31, 1855.
