EPSOM RACES—TUESDAY, The Isthmian Games were most satisfactorily inaugu rated, and, despite the gloomy day on which they com menced, they are not likely to disappoint expectation. In deed, the townsfolk were never so full of hope of reaping a rich harvest from the heavy crop of visitors which has since Monday night sprung up in the town. They have made ample I rovision for the reception of all sorts and conditions of people, and those persons who may, like Mrs. Gilpin, " be on pleasure bent, but have a frugal mind," will be ac• commodated according to their means. For the racing man the programme abounds in attractions, and although the Derby is regarded by the mere pleasure-seeker as " the be all and end all" of the meeting, yet certain events, and especially the races for two-yr-olds, are likely to be long re. membered by a large majority of turfites. We have already briefly referred to the improvements effected on the course and in the Grand Stand, and we may now state that Mr. Dorling, with all his ingenuity and desire to meet the re quirements of his patrons, will be unable to extend them. The arrangements are now complete in every respect ; and those persons who possess "the means and appliances to boot," are enabled to see the races with as much comfort as if they were seated in the stalls of an opera house. To conduct the railway traffic, and to afford facilities for reaching the course, due preparations have been made. At the London-bridge station a large body of the M divi sion of police are on duty, and the staff of officials at the Epsom station of the " Waterloo line" has been reinforced by some of the L division, under the command of Sergeant Rackstraw, and the London station of the same company was also kept by a number of men from the L division. Inspector Lovelace, with a well-disciplined troop of the V brigade, has the care of the town of Epsom, and the ap proaches to the Don ns, whilst the course, as usual, is under the charge of the A division, who have had great experience in the management of vast crowds of race-going people. The officers in charge of the men were Superintendent Walker, Inspectors Butt, Bradstock, and Eccles. The racing was marked by the usual " first day's" charac teristics. It was merely - a prelude to the grand doings of the Derby day. The Craven Stakes occasioned no " Blue Jacket sensation," as it did in 1856, when its result fur nished a new favourite, and seemed to show to demonstra tion that Tournament could not lose the Derby. That he did lose it, however, is a matter of turf history. The Craven Stakes of 10 sous each, with 50 added ; for 3-yr olds, 7st 7th; four, Bst 121 b ; five and upwards, 9st 41b ; mares allowed 51b, and geldings 31b.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Cantine, sto 1 agst Malta, 6to 1 agst Cosmopolite, 9to 1 agst Cape Flyaway. The flag fell at the third attempt, atter Knight of St. Patrick had re fused to go near his horses. He was left in the rear when the signal was given, Janus and Malta running in front, side by side, to Tattenham Corner, where the others began to get on good t3rms with them. At the distance they were beaten, and Cape Flyaway on the upper ground, and Can tine on the lower, finished the race together, running so wide that it was impossible for the spectators on the Stand to determine which had won; the judge, too, being unable to separate them, and pronouncing a dead heat. Four lengths off Virgilius was third, and close up with him were Malta and the Clarissa colt. Cosmopolite, Knight of St. Patrick, Polonius, and Twilight were beaten off. Cantine afterwards walked over, and the stakes were divided. The Rous Stakes, a free Handicap of 20 sous each, 10 ft, with 200 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. One mile. (24 subs.)

As a matter of precaution our naval authori ties have determined upon increasing the strength of our naval forces in those waters. Her Majesty's ship St. Jean d'Acre, Capt. the Hon. C. B. Elliot, C. 8., and the Racoon, corvette, Capt. Chamberlain, left port on the 22d inst., within a few hours of each other, for Gibraltar; and the Weser, 6, Commander Johnstone, left on the following day for Corfu, with instructions, it is said, to Rear-Admiral Dacres, to despatch a portion of his fleet to Malta for the same destination. " M. Lesseps passed through Malta the day before yester day from Marseilles to Alexandria. This sanguine gentle man has, I understand, assured several persons here who are so fortunate as to hold shares in the Isthmus of Suez canal scheme, that the work will be in such progress by the end of a year as to permit small vessels to pass through it from one sea to the other. " Preparations continue to be made for the submersion of the Tripoli portion of the Malta and Alexandria telegraph. Yesterday the commercial agents, Messrs. E. J. Gingell and Co., shipped on board her Majesty's corvette Scourge the electric instruments and a large quantity of telegraph stores for Tripoli and Bengazi. The Malacca, it is hoped, will be ready by Monday or Tuesday next to commence paying out the cable to Tripoli. The point of departure is to be St. Goorge's Creek, in the bay of Marsassirocco, on the south east coast of this island, where a cable-house has been erected for the junction of the submarine and land lines. The day before yesterday evening the Maltese schooner. Valetta, having on board the shore cable and 15 telegraph operatives, left port for Tripoli, in tow of the tug Bulldog, which is to accompany her the whole way, and tow her when such assistance is necessary, in order that no time may be lost in laying the shore end to meet the Malacca with the deep sea line. "Her Majesty's ship Queen is daily expected from Bey rout. One of the French transports which are to convey the French troops from Syria passed to the eastward yester day. By the steamer arrived to-day from Beyrout, I learn that the French troops arc ready to embark." The Euryalus, 51, screw steam-frigate, under the charge of the officials of the steam reserve and dock yard, made her official trial at the measured mile to-day ; she was under steam about five hours, and the result was satisfactory. Captain Broadhead, the newly-appointed captain of the steam reserve at this port, was prevented from witnessing the trial, being engaged on the court-martial at the Victory. The Punjaub, Captain Foulerton, H.M. Indian Navy, is still at Spithead. Orders were received to land any serious hospital cases, and she is expected to proceed to Woolwich the first favourable oppor tunity, unless she receives contrary orders and comes into Portsmouth. She is a teak-built ship, and was fitted out as a paddle-wheel steamer, with engines of 700 horse-power. However, her steam ing dualities were not so great as could be ex pected. They could not get up steam so as to get a greater speed than eight knots, whilst under her present light rig—only as an auxiliary to the steam—she would make, under canvas, 12,,A- and 13 knots ; and it is thought that by her conversion into a screw steam-corvette she will prove a valuable acquisition to her Majesty's navy. As a troop-ship, she can find accommodation for at least 1,000 men, besides women and children, and has commodious cabins and saloon for officers and ladies. She is well ventilated with patent bull's eye ports, and her space between decks is nearly seven feet under the beams. Her hospital (or sick bay) berths, as also a separate division from off the troop-deck for married people, are most judiciously arranged. The screw steam gunboat Magpie, tender to the scr ew steam coastg uar d s hi p H aw k e , 60, Captain William Crispin from Queenstown, arrived at Ply mouth on Monday .for stores and for men entered for the Hawke. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. John L. Way, to the Steady; Lieut. Charles C. Fitzgerald, to the Ariadne ; W. B. M‘Hardy, midshipman, to the Hero; W.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long, experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans. and olicake may be ent rely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed fsr a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

In consequence of the large number of officers of Engineers now at Chatham, the Secretary of State for War has approved the appointment of an in structor in the general principles of designing and making specifications, estimates, and working draw ings for various descriptions of buildings. The officer so appointed will be in addition to the other instruc tors already attached to the Royal. Engineer esta blishment. At present there are two instructors in surveying and topographical drawings, two field work instructors, and one instructor in architecture. The Commander-in-Chief has also given instructions for the most intelligent and best educated of the non-commissioned officers of the Royal Engineers to be appointed field-work instructors. By direction of the Duke of Cambridge, several of the officers of Royal Engineers, including Capt. J. E. Comes, Capt. E. H. Steward, Lieutenant G. Harris, and Lieut. H. Robinson, have proceeded from Chatham to Shoeburyness for the purpose of witnessing some experiments which are being carried out at that station, in order to test the rela tive strength of wrought-iron plates, from one quarter of an inch is three inches in thickness, and their capabilities to resist the effect of shot from the Armstrong and other guns. The plates to be ex perimented upon have been made from different descriptions of iron, in order that the Government may ascertain the best kinds for use in the manu facture of armour-plates for the exterior of the mail clad steamers. The experiments will extend over several days. The Leicestershire Regiment of Militia, 900 strong, assembled at Leicester on Thursday for a month's training under the command of Lieut.-Col. King. The regiment has done duty at Cork and at Aldershott. Trade having been bad during the winter a great number of recruits have joined, and many men whose time of service has expired have been re-attested. An inspection of the South Hants Yeomanry Cavalry took place at Hartham on Monday. Four troops had previously assembled for training, under the command of Viscount Malden, and had most creditably acquitted themselves. The men were dismissed to their homes yesterday. The Hants Yeomanry Cavalry (200 strong) as sembled last week at Winchester for eight days' training, under the command of Viscount Eversley. An inspection and review took place on Monday, on Compton-downs, before Lieut.-Col. Douglas, Assist.-Adjt.• Gen. Lord Eversley became major of the corps on its formation 13 years ago. His Lord ship and Major Dear are the only remaining mem bers of the corps. The Ist Regiment of Devonshire Militia was in spected on Saturday last at St. Thomas's, Exeter, by Major-General Hutchinson, commanding the Western district. His report was highly satisfac• tory. The West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry havejust completed their annual period of duty at Taunton. The regiment, which is about 430 strong, was under the command of Colonel the Hon. H. W. Portman. The regiment was inspected previous to dismissal. About 750 men belonging to the East Norfolk Militia are at present undergoini training at Yar mouth, namely, 250 recruits and 500 men, who have had some previous training. The period of 21 days, during which the 3d Regiment of Staffordshire Militia has been in train ing at Newcastle-under-Lune, having expired, the regiment has been inspected by Lord Frederic Paulet, in the presence of Lord Hatherton, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and Colonel the Hon. E. R. Littleton. The report of the inspector was most satisfactory. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. On Monday afternoon the usual monthly general meeting of the members of this association was held at Willis's-rooms, for the purpose of enlarging some of the formal rules of the society and for the trans action of general business. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge (president) took the chair, and there were also present the Duke of Newcastle, Earl De Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Tankerville, Lord Elcho, Hon. A. Kinnaird, Viscount Enfield, Lord Truro, Lord Radstock, Lord Colville, Lord Verner, Sir D. Baird, Sir J. Paxton, Col. Lindsay, Hon. H. Low, Major-General Hay, Colonels Kin loch, Kennedy, Bathurst, Briggs. His ROYAL HIGHNESS, in addressing the meet ing, said it would be quite unnecessary for him to detain them any details as to the objects or benefits of the Association. With regard to the prizes to be offered at the meeting this year the report was most satisfactory, and the list had been extended by several additional gifts. There was a new cup given by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, value £lOO, a member's cup of £5O, a public schools' cup of £5O, and a cup given by the editor of the Volunteer Gazette, value £25. Last year the various prizes had been distributed at the Crystal Palace, but it had been felt that much more interest would attach to this ceremony if it took place on the very ground on which the triumph had been achieved. That course, therefore, would be adopted with the distribution this year, and it had also teen arranged (and as he thought most judiciously) that the ceremony of distribution should be followed by a Volunteer review of such corps as chose to take part in it. Thus, the early part of what ever day was fixed upon would bo set apart for allotting the prizes, and the remainder to the evolu tions of the corps on the ground. He looked on such assemblages of the Volunteers for field days and brigade drill as most important aids to their improvement, but at the same time, it was abso lutely necessary to their success that they should be so arranged as to insure their perfect good order and their being carried out in the best manner. Tie was delighted to say that the Volunteer movement had been carried out in the colonies in the most successful and praiseworthy manner, and the Rifle Association established in Canada under the presidency of Sir Alan M'Nab, showed this year a subscription list for prizes amounting to £1,600, actually an excess over the subscriptions to their own Association. The Queen's prizes were, of course, oven to all these Colo nial Volunteers, and the Volunteers of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick were already in communication with the society. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in moving a formal resolution to the effect that members of the County Rifle Associations shall be entitled to admission to the National Association on paying 10s. per annum, or £5 for life membership, paid a high compliment to the Robin Hood Nottinghamshire Regiments he had [recently reviewed, and especially bore testi mony to what he had seen of the high efficiency of Canadian Volunteers. Earl DE GREY and RIPON moved that an entrance fee of 10s. be required from all Volunteers contend ing for the prizes of the Association, except those sent by regiments subscribing to the Association to the extent of £1 per company. Such a step as this he thought was absolutely necessary to keep the funds of the association in the state in which it was necessary they should be maintained. This and another formal resolution was carried nem. con., and in reply to questions, Lord Rim° stated that those who contended for prizes open to all corners could use whatever rifle they chose. The public schools would use whatever rifle they had been instructed in, but the Queen's prizes could only be shot for with the long Enfield. Colonel LINDSAY then announced the intuition of the St. George's corps to present a challenge cup, value £l5O, to be shot for at the meeting in 1862, the amount derived from the entrance fees for which to go to the funds of the National Rifle Asso ciation. The proceedings then terminated. The Madrid Gazette announces that the Queen of Spain has sent the usual notice to all the bishops of the kingdom, mentioning that she has entered the last month of her pregnancy, and requesting them to have prayers And up fig ker PafQ clQuyery, agent. The news by this steamer is generally scanty and unimportant. From Jamaica our dates are to the 9th inst. The table of the public revenue for the quarter ending 31st March bad been published. The gross amount was £60,000, being less by £3,000 than the December quarter, but £l,OOO in crease on the corresponding quarter last year. " Though no serious difference is observed in the import duties (says the Colonial Standard) yet it may be readily anticipated, from the civil war in the United States, and the great dependence our people place upon breadstuffs and many articles of food, that there will be in the next quarter a mate rial reduction, which will be felt to an alarming extent in this island as well as in the West India colonies generally." The island was in a very dull and gloomy state in consequence of the bad news from America and its probable effect upon trade generally. Business in all departments was very flat, and money and bill-discounting in abeyance. Seteral shocks of earthquake had been felt in the island. The first, which was rather severe, occurred on the 27th ult. at about a quarter to 3 o'clock p.m., the undulatory motion being from north to south or south to north. Two shocks had been felt at Mon tego Bay and throughout the county of Cornwall, the first being one of the most violent that the island has experienced for years past. It occurred simultaneously with the one noticed in Kingston, amid consternation in the town, the inhabitant run ning out of their houses, and with blanched-cheeks portraying the universal terror that was felt. The church clock was stopped, its heavy pendulum vibrating contrary to the current of the shock. A house in Church-street had one of its corners rent, and at Content store, in Hanover, the piazza was completely severed from the main building. In the harbour the shock was so violent that the captain of a vessel was thrown off his legs, and in some districts along the seaside it caused deadly sickness even with persons accustomed to sea voyages. A second shock occurred, but by no means so severe as the first, about four o'clock on the morning of the 28th. Captain J. G. Maycock, of her Majesty's 14th Regiment, had been appointed Adjutant- General of the island and Military Secretary to his Excellency the Governor. The Hon. J. S. Williams, acting Attorney-General, had received from the Lords of the Admiralty the post of Advocate-Gene ral. The foundation-stone of the new steam (aerated) bread mills was laid on the 2d inst., in Park-street, West. The establishment is expected to be in full operation by the end of August. The weather had been very sultry. The public health was good. At Trinidad trade in general was exceedingly dull for the season, and the metallic currency was neverso low in circulation ; in fact, no one seemed to have ready cash. The stoppage of a large mercantile firm had thrown a gloom over the trading com munity, and prospects were far from cheerful. The planters had been getting on briskly with sugar making, as the weather had become more settled and favourable. The scarcity of tonnage and advance in freights had checked speculation, so that little had been done in produce since last mail. Advices from Barbadoes are to the 10th inst. The Militia Act would probably be withdrawn at the next sitting of the House of Assembly, it having met with so much public censure. An Act for con stituting a-corporate body in the city of Bridge town had been read a first time in the house, and ordered to be printed. The Water Company had laid down pipes in every part of the city and suburbs, and were erecting the public pumps, &c.. The island was perfectly healthy. The Hon. William Walker had arrived at Deme rara, to assume the administration of Government as Lieutenant. Governor, on the departure of Gover nor Wodehouse, who came home to England by the present mail. His Excellency received addresses from the bishop and clergy of the diocese of Guiana, the Mayor and Town Council and other public bodies, before his departure. The Court of Policy had a sitting on the 3d inst., but transacted no busi ness of importance, and adjourned sine die. Three arrivals of immigrants had occurred during the fortuight-L-viz , the Collingwood, from Calcutta and St. Helena, with 296; the Saldanha, from Hong Kong, with 496 ; and the Jessie Munn, from Cal cutta, with 295. The rainy season had set in. Arrivals from the South Pacific bring intelligence from Valparaiso to the 17th of April, and from Callao to the 29th. Commercial matters in Chili were by no means improving. More failures to a considerable extent are re ported, and some of the wealthiest residents in the country had succumbed, while but little hope was entertained of the news being more encouraging for some time to come. The republic of Peru remains in the same un settled state as at last advices. The Panama Star and Herald of the Bth inst. says that the last accounts respect ing the earthquake at Mendoza are worse than those pre viously received, as it has been ascertained that upwards of 11,000 people perished in this dreadful catastrophe. The details of the sufferings of the survivors are very sad, but throughout Chili everything was being done to relieve the distress. WRECKS AND CASUALTIES IN 1860. The annual return just presented to Parliament of the wrecks and casualties on or near the coast of the United Kingdom from the Ist of January to the 31st of December, 1860, shows a number of wrecks and casualties from causes other than col lision greater than that of either of the preceding 8 years. The number is 186 above the annual average for 6 years, or 1,081 against 1,067, in 1859. Although the number of wrecks and strandings has been greater than usual, the loss of life has been less ; the number of lives lost in 1860 being under one-third of the number lost in 1859, and 264 under the annual average for nine years. The numbers for 1859 and 1860 are 1,645 and 536. The great loss of life during 1859 was mainly attribu table to the loss of two or three fine passenger ships, and the decrease in the number of lives lost in 1860 is owing to the absence of the loss of any large ships under similar circumstances. In 1859, 870 lives were lost in two casualties alone, viz., the wrecks of the Pomona and the Royal Charter, whilst in 1860 the greatest number of lives lost in number 31. On referen ce to the table, dstngush ii i i n n g the n e a alt it is seen that the n umber of casualtie s to shi p s of the collier class. cargo ofy w the as ships,7p?, and the next i.e. ships carry in g coals, coke, ores, and stone in an o b u lk) is below the number for the last year , al though, as is usual, it exceeds the number of greatest ; casualties to all other descriptions of ships put to gether. The classes of ships to which casualties most frequently happen on our coasts are those between 50 and 300 tons burtben, employed in carrying coal, coke, ores and stone. The expe rience of the past eleven years shows that the most serious wrecks, resulting in the greatest loss of life, do not happen, as was supposed, on the North east coast, but in those seas and channels mostly frequented by large foreign-going ships. The total number of lives lost from shipwreck during 11 years has been 6,883. The greater portion of casualties happen with the force of the wind at and under 8 (fresh gale) or under circumstances in which a ship if seaworthy and properly manned and found, ought to be well able to keep the sea. At the end of 1860 the number of liteboats sta tioned on the coast was 173, against 158 in 1859 ; 91 are under the management of the National Life boat Institution, but are subsidised by the Board of Trade, and 5 are subsidised by the Board direct. Of the remainder, 19 are maintained by the institu tion and 58 by local bodies. During the last six years no less than 8,205 lives have been saved on the coast by assistance from the shore. The num ber last year thus saved was 1,383, there being 110 lifeboats and 233 sets of mortar and rocket appa ratus. The number of lives saved during 1860 on or near the coasts of the United Kingdom of which reports have been received was 2,152 against 2,332 in 1859. The number saved, with more or her risk, by assistanea from the shore during 186u0, mber 1,383, or nearly two-thirds of the wh P le g. n g_reatly saved. The lifeboats saved 326 lives. , , e b b e o l a n ts during in excess of the number saved by olirtar and rocket the two previous year. And th eThemremri apparatus saved 408 lives. boats smacks, &e. at 635—were saved by fi shing tions; of a meritorious sea, and 14 by individual corer character. ---- trolloway's Pills. Headaches, f appetite, and lowness of spirits, so fre the spring, are all removed by a billiousness, o_ purifying pills ; which act so mildly, yet on the different organs of the body, that energetically.,. so er fail in removing the disagreeable symptoms of quently indigestion' above enumerated. No noxious substance they hinters into the composition of these pills ; hence everybody pr e v l ale s n t in course of RthlsE: may take them with safety. They act mildly on the bowels, strengthen the stomach, and brace the nerves. They induce a healthy action in the liver, and invigorate the whole system. In enfeebled, debilitated, and hardly used constitutions, they at once effect a marvellous im provement, which day by day gains ground as the pills are taken, - About 7 o'clock on Monday mol g `fill explosions took place at the Cillevernn— Gunposi - Tejs Works near Waltham. In order to trace the origin of the disaster and show its effectn it is necessary briefly to describe the construction and mode of working these mills. At the end of the buildings is the engine -house, where a shaft, run ning- under the entire length of the mills is worked. This , eheft, turn, causes the " runners," or wheels, or the powder for the purpose of crush- Lug ea iue " bed plates" upon which the powder is placed for grinding are, like the runners, made of iron. Those in the mills destroyed were formed of two slabs of iron, three inches thick, bolted toge ther. The men had been at their work about an hour, when one of them, it is said, commenced the removal of the runner in the mill second from the engine -house, to enable him to sweep the powder , extinguish his from under it. Applying, it is alleged, a c row b ar , or some implement of the same description in ord e r t 8 sides, seem ‘k,e. hto force the roller out of position, he saw the p ow d er flash, and remembered nothing furthe r untifound himself being extricated from a strea m o f we . t setr to into which had be ar thrown el between himself ot hes. the Afterh e a subse quent o t r h e e first c t explosioniv e. eir ho n e fi a - mbl blown w penetrated n : in to , were ve into the th ree adjoining mills very rapidly indeed, fth oscarcely amoment h e explosio ns . T he effect of each was most de uall directions, and large pieces were found many y a rds off standing in th e ground, into which they had been forced upon descending. A large number of the workpeopl e a f ter the explo sion repaired to the spot and rendered val ua bl e as a sistance. One unfort unate m an named James Wood ham,roofs, was found lying in the long grass in front of the mill, his clothes in one mass of flame. Hi ap parel was torn and cut from his body as rapidly as possible, but before this could be accomplish e d h e was so frightfully burnt that his life is almost de, spaired of. Last evening he was in a most pitiable condition. His face is so dreadfully burnt that not a single feature can be distinguished, and he is for the present, we regret to say, totally deprived of sight. Three other poor fellows are also badly burnt. All the sufferers are married men. As soon as the ruins bad cooled sufficiently to be inspected avareful investigation was made with a view of ascertaining the extent of destruction, and, if possible, the cause of the first explosion, and the mode by which the adjoining walls were blown up. The mills were not in work, and it was pre sumed there was not more than a few pounds of powder left in either of them, but the explosion proved the supposition to have been erroneous. The mills had been built with thick party walls of solid brick, which it was believed would have bad the effect, in the event of an explosion taking place in one, of leaving all the others uninjured. The explosion has shown in this respect that the steps adopted were fallacious. Some persons, who assume to possess a familiar acquaintance with the mode of manufacture at the Government Works, express a belief that the process of grinding had forced a considerable quantity of powder into the tanks below the tables, and that, as it was known several men were at work there with lights at the time of the accident, the explosion was occasioned thereby, and the flames rapidly extended along the shaft to the other mills. Others, and they are the more numerous, believe that the crowbar with which the runner was being removed, coming into contact with the iron plate, caused friction, which produced sparks and ignited the powder. As the loss of life might have been great, the matter is exciting considerable discussion. There were several very narrow escapes. Some half-dozen men or more were under the mills making some repairs to the shaft at the time of the explosion. The smoke made its way down the " manhole," and had not assistance arrived some of the engineers would have been suffocated. Two were in an insen sible state when they were dragged up by the hair and rapidly taken into the air to restore animation. While the interior repairs were pro ceeding it was decided to paint the iron roofs, and just before the explosion took place a body of painters arrived to commence this operation. They had procured a ladder to get upon the roofs, but it was found too short, and while another was being obtained the mills blew up. Had the explosion been delayed a few moments longer the men would have commenced their work, and would doubtless been blown to atoms, as scarcely a vestige of the roofs is left in either ease. The Board of Ordnance will, we understand, make a searching inquiry into every circumstance connected with the explosion. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From 114 e Registrar-General's Weekly Return,) The total number of deaths registered in the week hat ended last Saturday was 1,237, a mortality as sigh as that of the last week of March, when the air was many degrees colder than it has been lately. The average number of deaths derived from the re turns of corresponding weeks in the ten years 1851- 60, and corrected for increase of population, is 1,157 ; hence it appears that the number of persons who died last week exceeds by 80 that which would have been returned if the average rate of mortality had ruled. The deaths from whooping-cough are still nume rous : they were 97 in the week, while the cor rected average of corresponding weeks is only 56. Five occurred in the rectory sub-district of Maryle bone, 11 in Islington, 5 in the west sub-district of Mile-end Old Town. Scarlatina was fatal in 31 cases, diphtheria in 13. Sixteen women died after childbearing ; 10 of which cases are referred in the tables to metria or puerperal fever. A man died at the age of 96 years, a woman at the same age ; and the widow of an author died in Clifford's-inn from "degeneration of the mucous membrane of the stomach," whose age is recorded to have been 100 years 8 months. A woman died at the age of 66 years from marasmus caused by the use of opium, which she had taken for a period of 27 years. A child, aged 7 weeks, died of eczema of the whole body. Last week the births of 892 boys and 934 girls, in all 1826 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average was 1640. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.00 9 in. The mean daily reading was above 30 in, on the first four days. The barometer rose to 20.26 in. on Tuesday , and fell to 29.61 in. on Sa turday. The mean temp erature of the air in the week was 57 . 6 deg. , which i s 3.5 deg. above the a verage of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day except Sun day the 19th ; and this excess is equal to 9 deg. on Tuesday, and nearly 11 deg. on Thursday. The thermometer in the shade fell to 36 deg. on Sunday, and rose to 80.2 deg. on Thursday: The range of temperature in the week was therefore 44.2 deg. The mean daily range was 24.3 deg. The differ ence between the mean dew-point temperature was 9.4 deg., showing the dryness of the air. The mean degree of humidity was 73, complete saturation being represented by 100. On Friday the humidity was only 64. The direction of the wind was vari able. On Thursday, the day of greatest heat, the highest reading of a thermometer in the sun was 119 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 56.3 deg. Half an inch of rain fell on Thursday, on the evening of which day, be tween 7 and 9 o'clock, a thunderstorm occurred, when the lightning was very vivid. The tempera ture was higher on that day than it has been known to be in any May since 1858 ; and the m aximum temperature was higher than on any day sinc e tober 4th, 1859, interesting cures of a [ADVERTISEMENT].—The most in7i; Food are re vast complication of diseases, wiihout by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta_ i N Thor 2.—" Bridge corded in the following letters: _ B (j 4 ? . . debility, y shortness vt iy-three years' is a marvel to house, Frimley, Surrey, Apr il o 3 a, l liver dera : n i g d e o m f e n n 'e t d , i d c e in af e l diseased lungs, spitting of Lctinaninedsindobreeretos7tlber-merchant. 6 °le t no o ns tia r l m ach toi , ov h ned ead, and ears are all n o f e s b s r , e singing d in cough,t h e ehla.a:vsee,r, hcbe Arabica.
