This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

THE GREAT FIRE. The huge pile of ruins caused by this fearful dis aster continues as unapproachable as ever. Even with all the assistance afforded by the late heavy rains, and the continuous streams of water which arc poured on them on all parts from the mains by night and day, the heat they give off is so intense that it is impossible to penetrate beyond a few yards nside the blackened walls from the land side. No- thing dare approach them from the river. In the centre several large cellars of oil and tallow are blazing as furiously as ever. The glare of these flames, which are unseen during the day, shines out as brightly as before with nightfall, when, of course, the alarm is spread that the fire has again started on a fresh career of destruction. There is, however, we are happy to say, not the least danger now of such additional loss. All the ruins on the outskirts (except, as we have said, those next the river) are not only cold, but well saturated with water. The burning cellars in the centre, which cannot be reached, must burn themselves out; and, from what is known of their contents, a long time must elapse before this takes place if they are left to themselves. The chiefs of the Fire Brigade, however, are of opi nion that in a day or two more they will be able to get the hose sufficiently forward to reach even these centres of fire; and, if so, we may soon hope to see the last embers of this tremendous conflagration ex tinguished. The cellar full of tallow,beneath the ware house which leanS so fearfully over the spot where Mr. Braidwdod's body was discovered, has almost burnt itself away. Since Monday evening the hose Of three engines has been pouring in streams at one end, and driving the great mass of fire it contains out at the other, in the centre of the ruins, where it is impotent for further mischief, So great has been the quantity of water poured in here that the vaults have been almost flooded, and an immense quantity of the melted tallow floated completely out. The body of flame at this spot is now so much reduced that the firemen have been enabled to ad vance far enough to reach with water the walls at the end of the vault, through the apertures of which the mass of flame has been pouring since Saturday afternoon, and which are therefore almost white with heat. Tremendous clouds of steam are thrown off here as the jets of the hose fall upon the brick work. Unfortunately, however, this side of the warehouse is as much out of the perpendicular as the front, and is certain to become still more so as the mass of brickwork contracts in cooling, so that even when the fire is entirely extinguished the imminent danger will prevent the spot being used as a base of operations for penetrating further to wards the centre, where the great vaults still boil and flame unchecked. Adjoining the cellar which has thus been partially extinguished is another, stored entirely with lard and bacon. This has never been on fire, though, to judge from the hot jets of steam that have been issuing from the loop holes since Sunday, the contents must have been as effectually overdone as if the flames had actually found their way in. During all yesterday, and up to yesterday even ing, some ten or fifteen labourers were busily em ployed near here removing the masses of fallen brickwork in their search for the missing body of Mr. Scott. Some of our contemporaries not only stated yesterday that the remains had been discovered, but gave the exact amount of money found in the pockets of the unfortunate deceased. The state ment, however, is quite inaccurate. Up to dusk last night no trace had been found of the body. Only a comparatively small portion of the ruins then re mained to be removed, but, darkness coming on, the search was very properly discontinued, as in the doubtful light it was difficult to discern with accuracy the signs which would most probably pre cede the downfall of the large pile of ruins leaning over the spot. At dawn the search will bo resumed, though it seems to us dangerous to allow any men, however willing, to venture into such a danger, unless safety of life, which in this case is out of the question, is concerned. The deep mass of half smouldering rubbish over the oil vaults beneath Hay's vaults is rapidly becoming cool, so that all danger of ignition of the oil beneath may now be considered quite at an end. But here, too, a por tion of the lofty walls is in such a dangerous con dition that nothing can be done towards removing the ruins till they fall, for they are in such a state that any attempt to erect a scaffold to take them down would be madness. In fact, the ranks of toppling walls yet standing seem to cause a most serious embarrassment. There are such a number, they all stand so close together, and are of such enormous height, weight, and thickness, that the fall of one would bring down half the others, almost from the mere concussion. We have been informed that the Ordnance authorities have been applied to for the use of cannon to fire on and level the most dangerous with the ground. If this is true, we think the Ordnance authorities have by their answer acted most wisely in refusing to have anything to do with the matter. The discharge of cannon in the midst of such toppling masses would very likely have the effect of bringing down walls where least desired or expected —very possibly on the guns themselves, and the use of shotted ordnance with small charges would be equally out of the question. It is most likely that, long before the ruins are cool enough to enter, the walls themselves will have settled all these dif ficulties.

Before leaving work of course all these doors would have been closed, and had the fire then broken out it would most probably have been stifled by its own smoke—certainly confined to the floor in which it originated. As it was, however, all the doors were open, and the block was so filled with suffocating clouds that none could approach the fire, and a short 1 time Pafficed amid such combustibles for it to gain In a cellar beneath the depot there was a power ful force-pump (recently put into a high state of efficiency), supplied with water from the Thames by means of a large underground reservoir. To this were fitted iron pipes, with brigade screws, leading to the various parts of the premises, capable of throwing strong jets of water, and which were used by Messrs. Scovell's people at the commence ment of the conflagration until driven away by the heat and smoke from both pipes and pump. Upon the depot roof were two large cisterns, kept con stantly full by the pump. One of them had pipes always charged, leading to cocks upon every floor, where a large set of fire bu 3kets were kept hanging ready for use. A third cistern had lately been put up in the depot yard, contiguous to the east wail of Cotton's wharf. A communication had been opened between this tank and the fire main, by agreement with the company, expressly for the purpose of ob taining a constant and powerful supply, which passed into the cistern through a metre. But, with the consent of the company, Messrs. Scovell had in troduced a large service pipe into the heart of their premises, with brigade screws and hose, the water to be supplied gratuitcusly. A fourth cistern in connection with the same main was, moreover, erected on the drug floor, having large cocks and fire buckets adjacent, and a fifth cistern existed over the tea floors with similar appliances. It is not true, however, as is generally supposed and has been stated, that all Messrs. Scovell's wharfs have been destroyed. Two of the largest, fortunately, escaped without any injury. We have been requested to make this statement, as, if the report were believed that all the wharfs were destroyed, it would lead to a cessation of consignments to the firm, which would be business loss, additional to that they have already sustained. Amore minute estimate has since yesterday been made of the value of the property destroyed, and, as nearly as can yet be computed, it is stated to be just £2,000,000, with a chance of it s being within that enormous sum. THE INQUEST ON MR. BRAIDWOOD. The inquest into the causes which led to the death of the late Mr. Braidwood was taken yester day morning, before Mr. Sergeant Payne and ajury of the principal tradesmen of the neighbourhood, in the board-room of St. Thomas's Hospital. After the usual formalities of opening the proceedings had been gone through, the coroner said the jury would in all have to inquire into the cause of two deaths which were attributable to the late calamitous fire, in addition to that of the lite superintendent of the fire brigade, viz., that of the man Sullivan, who was killed by the chain of the floating engine, and Thomas Masson, who was so dreadfully burnt by blazing tallow. Mr. W. Williams, instructed by Messrs. Jones and Arkcoll, attended to witch the progress of the case for Messrs. Scovell. Mr. Scovell himself was also in attendance, as were also Mr. Birkbeck, son in•law to Mr. Braid wood; Mr. Hodsoll, surveyor to various fire offices; Mr. White, of the County Fire office ; Mr. Cutler, of the "Westminster ditto ; Mr. Henderson, superintendent of the D Brigade; Mr. Fogo, chief of the B District; Mr. Superintendent Bradford, and other officers. Mr. Watkin Williams acid that in attending there on behalf of his clients, it was almost entirely with a view of affording the jury every possible assistance in their endeavours to ascertain the cause which has given rise to so fearful a fire, and re sulted in the death of a most valuable public ser vant. A statement had been made in some of the public journals to the effect that great neglect was attributable to the persons in Messrs. Scovell's em ploy in not having, at the outbreak of the fire, made immediate use of the iron fireproof doors which shut off communication between the various floors of the warehouses. He would, however, be able to prove to the satisfaction of the coroner and jury that there was not the least foundation for this statement, and ho trusted that the contradiction would receive the same publicity as had been ac corded to the remarks which had called it forth. Mr. J. G. Doyle, wharf superintendent to M essrs . Scovell, was the first witness examined. He said the wharfs where the fire began were known as Cotton's and the Depot Wharfs. Formerly they concerns, but they were now unit e d, the wharfs were und er l e t. The ande fire emp began e r g a p t a l rt iionn portions the,l f parts wholly occupied by Mr. Scovell. The first intimation he received of its outbreak was about half-past 4, when he was on the quay side of Cotton's Wharf. One of the boys came and told him that there was a fire in the D floor, and witness ran at once to see. The D floor was the third story from the ground. He could see no signs of fire the n , and therefore hurri e d back to th e D epo t Q uay, an d l oo k e d for the smoke, whi c h h e saw at about 120 f eet d i stance, going towards th e s t ree t. That was a p or ti on of Cotton's ting immediat e l y upon the D spot, a n d f ound that clouis o f smo k e were i ssu i ng from a p ort i on of the H e at once ar went to tuhe warehouse called "H, No. 4." attached a hos e t o the main, saw that their fo reman, - er. Antrobus, had already e l p lr o h t ya f r p d r . p Witu b es t s M which was kept charged for constant service, in order that any be ginning of fire might b e checked at the very outset. The supply, however, through the main was so in adequate that it scarcel y t h rew the jet beyond eight feet. Witness went at once to the hose-house and got two large hose-pipes capable of throwing, if water. s upplied, large quantities ofter. Ladders were then at once erected t o th e window whence the smoke was coming, and two men went up an d sen t i n a good supply of water. At that time, however, No fire could be seen in the first story. They had not played the hose through the window more than two or three minutes when a large sheet of flame burst and the fire began t Nevertheless the men continued pump o spread.out through the aperture, pump ing on it for about three-quarte rs of an hour, until they were completely driven away from the hose by the fire, and the men in the cellar who worked about tturmeric,h fire havingan d h e c had o - m the force pump by the smoke. The three chief ar ticles of merchandise s t o wed i n that warehouse were ju o t t e, conversations with Mr. Braidwood when he arr ived and began to su perintend the firemen befo re t he wall fell. The wall gave way at about hal f- p as t d a o n u a b t b ags 7 o'clock in th e evening. At that time witne ss w as standing within nthe bags slightest o of rice, menced there. He had man y 150 or 180 feet of the deceased. The fire had then gained a complete mastery, and 'wits ra • ging fiercely. But a minute before the wall fell witness had been on the spot, and Mr. Braidwood vas then giving brandy to some of his assistants. Siddenly he heard a sound as of a floor giving way in the block known as " G," Nos. 7 to 12. There was k series of floors in that warehouse, from the cellars to the roof. Witness could not say exactly which of the floors it was that yielded; but as he knew them all to be well loaded, he apprehended such a casualty, and warned about 20 persons to leave the spot, for he feared the wall would come out. He had just turned himself to get away when a loud cry was raised, "Th e wa ll i s coming." l't — Efore witness could gain much speed from the spot hewas knocked down by another person flying like b —briself and he saw no more of Mr. Braidwood. When he last saw him he was standing perhaps about thir feet from the wall. The porti on o f the wall which fell was a mass measuring about eighty-four feet brig by forty deep. There was not the least doubt but that a Part of this fell on the deceased. Witness had seen the spot where the body was found, and it was close to where he last saw the deceased. There was no explosion of saltpetre, as had been stated in the papers, though there was a loud, dead, peculiar sound, as of the floor giving way. On the t o p fl oor of that warehouse there were about 1,600 bsles of cotton, each weighing nearly 4 cwt.—about a cwt. 3 qrs. The floor was wood, and the beams and rafters wood, but the stanchions which supported them were iron. The bales of cotton were packed down by hydraulic pressure, and were about ore foot nine inches in height or depth. If, however, the band were loosened, the bale would at once es• pand or spring up some twelve or fifteen inches. Witness could very well imagine that if the fire once got to the bands and burnt them the bales would expand, and the walls must then either keep them confined or else succumb to the lateral pres sure. In his opinion such an occurrence would quite account for the fall of the wall. There was no explosive material whatever in that warehouse. In reply to the jury, the witness added that the first engine he sent for was that. stationed (a% we under stood) opposite Morgan's-lane, and that arrived at about a quarter to five. The first floating engine arrived at about ten minutes past five, but it so much overshot its mark in coming alongside the wharf that it made a very sad bungle of it. The supply of water from the street mains was always poor and weak, and throughout they never had any thing like an adequate quantity of it. By Mr. Williams—They had in the wharfs be longing to Messrs. Scovell a very large tank along side the depot building, and that was kept filled up at every tide. They had also a fire pump close by that, which would throw a jet of water 130 feet high. There were, besides this, two tanks over the depot, and one over the tea warehouse, which were also kept filled by the pumps. Mr. James England, a delivery foreman in the colonial department of the wharf, said that when the fire was first discovered he was in the warehouse where it originated, in the floor immediately above. He saw smoke, and ran down into the lower floor to ascertain the cause. Here he listened and heard a crackling noise, and, looking round, saw the smoke issuing from a pile of jute, and at once gave the alarm and ran for a bucket of water. He had told the last witness where the fire was, and said it was on the B floor, but he must have misunderstood him as he went to the I) flat. The B flat and 114 were on the same story. Witness at first told him the fire was in or near the old counting-house, for he had seen it there. He at once went for more water, as there was a good supply in the tanks. He got flown with another bncketof water, but then could not approach the fire, in consequence of the dense body of smoke. Jute was like hemp, and if it got damaged with wet or oil it would be likely to heat. He saw Mr. Braidwood on the premises about 10 minutes before the wall fell. He could assign no other reason for the wall falling than the tremen dous weight on the top floor—the weight of the bales of cotton. He heard no explosion whatever before the walls gave way, but only a dead sort of sound, as of the girders breaking. He was positive that there was no explosive material whatever in that warehouse. There were turmeric and jute in some of the floors. The former was very dry, though if the bags had been wetted with oil in coming over it certainly might heat. There was no means of fixing a hose from the top of the building where the tank was. There were plenty o f hands to assist, though it was difficult to say who was present. There were rice and gums on the floor above the fire, but no oil. Witness never saw a light used in the buildings at that time of the year. Whenever he had occasion to use one in the winter he took a proper globe lan tern. There was gas on the premises. No smoking was ever allowed there. Sometimes a foreigner might come down smoking a cigar, but it was soon out of his mouth after it was once seen. James Sargent said he was one of the Fire Brigade, and arrived at the scene of the conflagra tion soon after five o'clock. He saw the wall fall on Mr. Braidwood, but heard no sound of an ex plosion before it fell. His opinion was that the wall fell because the floorings gave way. The deceased was serving out brandy at the time of the accident, and witness was the last man that escaped from the falling ruin towards the river. Brandy was absolutely necessary for the men at a fire, from the heat and constant exertion they had to go through. William Metcalf said he was one of the Fire Brigade, and was clese to Mr. Braidwood when the wall fell. As far as he colld judge, the falling of the wall was only caused by the floorings giving way. kr. Denton, shipwright, stated that three or four minutes before the accident he walked down the avenue across which the ruins fell. He saw the wall falling outwards and shouted to the people, " Run ! Run !" Witness thought ho knocked down Mr. Doyle in his own efforts to escape. He turned and saw the wall fall on Mr. Braidwood in such a mass that he believed he could never have moved again. Mr. Richard Henderson, foreman of the Fire Brigade, said that he was at the fire early, and became at last perfectly exhausted with his exer tions and the heat, and had drawn back to rest and get a little air, when Mr. Braidwood came up and asked him how he was getting on. Ile replied that he was quite knocked up, and the deceased gave him a glass of brandy, and told him to keep aside in the fresh air for a few minutes and he would soon be all right again. Immediately afterwards witness saw the wall come down and cover Mr. Braid wood. He shouted out as he saw it going to fall, and thought he would have escaped. Mr. Birkbeck, son-in-law of the deceased, said it was impossible to identify the remains from the features. He could do so, however, from the re•• mains of the accoutrements, and from the things found in the pockets. The deceased was 60 years of age. Witness was brought to the fire after the wall fell. There was at the time a very inadequate supply of water, and, in fact, the supply had been inadequate ever since. Mr. E. R. Cutler, principal clerk of the town de partment of the Westminster Fire-office, said he went with the deceased, out of mere curiosity, to see the fire, and was with him when he went round giving brandy to the men. He was standing close to him when the explosion took place which killed the deceased. It was a distinct explosion, like the report of a cannon going off. It came from the ground floor or underground floor, burst through a door, and an immense body of smoke and flames issued forth. The wall then bulged, lapped over, and fell on the deceased, some pieces of brick strik ing witness on the shoulders and arm. The falling of the floors would certainly not have made the noise witness heard ; it was caused by something explosive. The firemen had several times been di recting streams of water on that part of the build ing. He was aware that Indian cotton was packed by hydraulic pressure, but did not know that the bales would expand and spring up when the bands were undone. He had seen explosions before, but could not say that explosions always sent up a white smoke. Alfred Tozer, another member of the Fire Bri gade, said that just before the accident occurred he was in the yard pouring water into the loopholes of the H and G warehouses, when Mr. Braidwood sent him up to the top of the G warehouse to throw water over the roof of the other building. While thus employed ho heard a loud explosion from beneath the H warehouse, and almost instantly a vast body of white smoke poured from it, and directly afterwards witness saw that the warehouses marked 11 and 15 on the plans, with another, were in flames. By this their communication with the ground was cut off, and they could not get down. Witness slid down his hose, and then " unmarried" it from the part fastened to the roof, so that four lengths of it were lost. He then tried to pour water down into the cellar of the warehouse, but was obliged to give it up. He told Mr. Braidwood the heat was so great it was impossible to bear it, and deceased re plied, " Well, never mind it ; we cannot help it." The explosion he had spoken of found vent on the opposite side of the warehouse to that where the wall fell. It did not fall till at least a quarter of an hour after the explosion. He did not believe the explosion came from the same building as that to which the ruined wall belonged, but it must have shaken the walls of all the warehouses. He heard no explosion after that he had mentioned, and that certainly could not have caused the fall of the wall that killed deceased. He cautioned the men that the explosion was coming before it took place, for he felt the draught of hot air rushing out. It was not a loud explosion—nothing at all like that of ar tillery. Many of his comrades cautioned him against going near one spot. They said there was salt petre under it, and that it would blow up. Mr. Henderson was here recalled, and said that the witness Doyle had cautioned him that in one of the buildings there was a large quantity of saltpetre stored, and that they must look out for an explosion; and the witness Tozer, who was also recalled, stated that the bursting of a barrel of oil would cause an explosion. He had seen boiling tallow on fire, and throwing water on it when in that condition would make it crack and jump, but not explode, nor make any noise like an explosion. He had never seen a large explosion of saltpetre, so could not say whether the smoke had any particular smell or colour. All the explosions he heard he believed were owing to the bursting of casks of oil, which would at once cause the black smoke and yellow flames to rise. Saltpetre always burnt with a blue and yellow flame, and a very white smoke. The flame after this explosion seemed quite white. James Hawkbridge, another fireman, also gave evidence that ho thought the fall of the wall was preceded by an explosion, but his testimony on this subject was by no means clear. At the conclusion of this witness's evidence Mr. Williams said that, if the jury thought it would be any satisfacticn to them, he was prepared to c all Mr. Smoke, the district surveyo r , who had Ruin rintended the erection of the warehouses in ques tion, and who could explain the principle of their construction, and the probable cause of their fall. The Coroner said he could only give an opinion after all, In reply to questions from the jury, Mr. - Williams said that the hooks of the firm having been all saved they were quite prepared to prove, if a little delay were granted, an exact Re count of everything contained in each warehouse. Such a course would quite set at rest the question of whether or not there were any explosive mate rials in the building the wall of which fell. In com pliance with a request from the jury, the witness Doyle was recalled, and tie denied having cautioned Mr. Henderson about the saltpetre. He told Mr. Braidwood of it, and pointed out the warehouses where it was. He did so i n re ply to deceased's questions, who when he came to the fire at once said, " I suppose you have saltpetre somewhere here ; whereabout does it lie ?" Witness told him there were some 500 or 600 bags of it in the ground floor of block P. That building did not burn till half-past 10 o'clock, and then there was a loud ex plosion, but that was in an opposite direction to where the wall fell. There was no explosion of any kind whatever in the G warehouse. In the cellars of that building were stored butter, lard, and bacon. On the ground floor were bags of rice, casks of tallow, casks of hams, boxes of American bacon, and loose hams. On the floor above that again were casks of tallow and a few bags of rice. On the floor over that were chests of gums, mother of-pearl shells, rice, and tallow. The floor above was entirely filled with chests of tea, andoisbove that there were only bales of cotton. There was no tar in the building at all. There being no further evidence, The Coroner proceeded to sum up, and after pointing out that the fire had originated in a different building from that where the wall fell, went on to say that what he had been most anxious to discover was the cause of the wall falling out. If the destruction of the wall was caused by the explosion of any substance un lawfully stored within it, it would lead to a most serious charge against the owners or occupiers of the wharfs. All the judges had ruled that if any man kept a store of an y exp l os i ve su b stance, the ignition of which from any cause would be danger ous to life and property in his neighbourhood, the mere keeping of such substance was an indictable offence, even if no accident or death occurred. If the gentlemen who were the proprietors of Scovell's Wharf kept upon their premises such explosive substances as were dangerous to the life and pro perty of those in their neighbourhood, they would he as much liable to an indictment as any one else. The cause of the fire in this instance was not clearly ascertained, and would probably never would be. The question, therefore, for their consideration was —What was the cause of the wall falling by which the deceased met his death P If, as he said before, it was due to explosive substances in the warehouse, it would at once become a most serious charge against the occupiers. The evidence, however, cer tainly appeared to him quite to rebut that view of the case. The learned col over here referred to his notes of the various witnesses' evidence. If the jury wished a further investigation, he would of course adjourn the inquiry to any time they pleased. If', on the contrary, they thought they were not likely to gain anything by adjournment, and did not be lieve that the deceased was killed by the explosion of any dangerous substance, then he thought they should return a verdict of " Accidental death." After some discussion in the corner of the Board room, the jury expressed a wish to retire, and after a half-an-hour's absence returned into court and informed the coroner that they would prefer an adjournment in order that Messrs. Scovell's books might be produced, and that they might have the testimony of some independent architect, conversant with the mode in which the wharfs were constructed, to give an unbiassed opinion as to the causes which led to the wall falling. Mr. Williams said, of course Messrs. Scovell would be most happy to produce their books and give every assistance in their power, but as the jury wished for further investigation he must ask for a week's adjournment—for certainly not less than a week. He had been taken by surprise by the learned coroner ruling that storing saltpetre in regularly-built fireproof warehouses was, in fact, keeping explosive substances in improper places, and that the owners or occupiers of such buildings were liable to a criminal indictment. On their next meeting he would be prepared with an overwhelm ing amount of testimony to show that these ware houses were not improper places, and that, in fact, they were the only proper places for keeping such merchandise. To hold that wharf-owners could not have saltpetre in their vaults without being liable to indictment would simply be to exclude that ar ticle altogether from commerce. It was very dif ferent from explosives being stored in private houses. The Coroner said that in the case he had alluded to of the ruling of the judges the house where the explosives were kept was not a private house. Mr. Williams said it was not a private house, but it was a house in the Old Bailey in which gun powder was stored. That was a widely different case from these great wharfingers storing mer chandise in their vaults. After some further discussion, Mr. Snooke, the district surveyor, who built the warehouses and saw the wall fall, was requested by the jury to give his evidence. Mr. Snooke was accordingly sworn, and stated that he was the district surveyor for Rotherhithe, and in 1856 he superintended the construction of the warehouse the wall of which had fallen. He was therefore intimately acquainted with its method of construction. Like the other wharfs around it, it was built in the most solid and enduring manner, fitted with all the requisites demanded by the Act of Parliament, and even with additional precautions and securities against fire. Witness was present when the wall fell, and he had been previously watching all the upper portions of the same ware house on fire. The roof and the upper floor had fallen in before the wall fell. He was of opinion that the fall of the wall was occasioned by the expansion of the material on the floors produced by their combustion, and the tie of the roof and the tie of the wall by the upper floor being gone allowed the wall to succumb to the pressure, bulge outwards, and fall. He saw the whole thing, and could actually see how it had happened. No explosion had anything to do with it . It was simply the case that the wall, being left without the inward tie, which the beams of the roof and upper floor, of course, gave them, yielded to the internal pressure and fell. Afterwards walls were falling in all directions. There was a loud explosion of the salt petre at 10.30, but that threw down no walls, bad as they were. The witness, in reply to questions, proceeded to explain the position in which the wall had fallen, and that three party walls in the same warehouse were left standing, though between the wall that fell and the source of the supposed ex plosion. It was therefore a physical impossibility that the accident could have been caused by the ignition of explosive materials, else the party walls (as we understood it) must have been thrown down too. After further explanations the witness Cutler was examined again, and said in reply to the fore man and others of the jury that from his knowledge of insurance matters, Scovell's, Beale's, Hay's, and Humphery's wharves were considered the finest and the safest wharves on th e r i ver . Th e i nsurance companies, of course, never liked saltpetre (laugh ter); though they were quite aware it was stored in those wharfs. Saltpetre was, in fact, stored in nearly all the warehouses along the river side. It was necessary to keep it somewhere. All the great dock companies stored it in their warehouses. After this evidence, the foreman of the jury with drew the application for adjournment, and again retired with the rest of the panel. After a short deliberation, they returned into court and gave in their verdict of "Accidental Death." In giving in this verdict, the foreman said the jury thought it right to express through him, their deep regret at the loss the public had sustained in the death of such an officer as. Mr. Braidwood. Their neighbourhood had ac quired an almost dangerous notoriety from the alarming magnitude of the fires which have from time to time taken place there. Many of the jury, under these unfortunate circumstances, had had opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with the deceased, and could therefore speak from bydeaththe sad experience of the coolness, h. courage, judgment, and wonderful energy with which .s, most thing°. was rous the duties greatestwerealwayse calamities discharged.caused His late great fire. Mr. Scovell said ho co ul d not allow such an oe . of all tli casion to pass without bearing his humble but most sincere and ardent testimony to the em i nent quali ties of the late Superintendent Braidwood. His firm had, of course, been losers by the great fire to the amount of very many thousands, but he was sure those that knew him would give him credit for sincerity when he said that he regretted nothing so much as the awful death of the deceased, The Coroner said ho entirely concurred in every word of praise that had been said, Mr. Braidwood SPORTING INELLIGENCE.
