DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT AN OIL MILL. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. Last night another frightful boiler explosion occurred, attended with far more serious results than those attending the explosion that preceded it in Bath-street. The cala mity we have now to record occurred in the premises of Messrs. Braddick, oilcake manufacturers, Rotherhithe, and it is expected twelve unfortunates at least will lose their lives, death having already resulted to more than half that number. The explosion of the boiler occurred without the slightest previous intimation that anything was wrong, and in an instant the workmen engaged in and near the fatal spot, the machinery, roofing, &c., were scattered in all directions. As soon as the panic which such a circumstance naturally created in the neighbourhood in some degree subsided there was an unanimous rush of persons to rescue the un fortunate men that were known to be at work on the pre mises. On arriving at the scene of destruction a most appalling spectacle presented itself, and amongst the heaps of rubbish and distorted machinery a number of the work men were found, some dead, others dying, and a great many so dreadfully injured as to render recovery in many cases hopless. Medical aid was immediately sought, but in six cases life was fount to be quite extinct, and the scalds and wounds of a similar number of unfortunates were of a most severe and excruciating nature. The police have taken charge of the premises, and notice has been forwarded to the coroner of the calamity, so that a thorough and searching examination will take place. Until such time it would be impossible to conjecture the cause of the accident which has been accompanied with such fatal consequences. LAW" INTBLLIGENCE—iThis Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) His Honour is the "sitting Commissioner" for the next fortnight, the other Commissioners being what is officially termed "out of the bog" on any case to be balloted to them. The Senior Commissioner (Evans) will return on the Ist October next, Mr. Commissioner Fane on the 4th. The cases on the list to-day were chiefly for audit's choice of assignees. IN RE COOK AND GREENWOOD. These bankrupts were described as of Mark-lane, wine merchants, and this was an audit meeting. The case has been before the Court on previous occasions, and the certificate meeting stands adjourned until the 11th of November next. The total debts and liabilities are about £25,000. The assets in hand available for a dividend will be declared in a few days. Mr. Lawrence and Mr. C. E. Lewis support, and Mr. Linklater and Mr. J. Sorrell oppose the certificate. IN RE L. KISS. An audit meeting was held in the matter of Ladislaus Kiss, who, it will be remembered, absconded, and was ap prehended by one of the City detectives, but remains in custody abroad. The business of to-day was pro forma, but there appeared to be a prevailing opinion that he will ultimately arrive in England under surveillance, by reason of his having passed with a false passport. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( Thi s Day.) BOW-STREET. William Channer was charged with highway robbery. The complainant, a boy named Dawson, said—Last night he was passing through one of the streets near Bloomsbury-square, about 7 o'clock, when he had occasion to look at the money he had in his purse. Just as he was closing it the prisoner came up and snatched it out of his hand and ran off. He followed and called out " Stop thief," when the man was stopped by the police. Police .constable 123 E said last evening ho was on duty in Montague-street, when he heard the cry of " Stop thief," and saw the prisoner running. He followed him, and saw him throw the purse down an area in Market -st ree t. Th e purse produced was identified by the boy as his property. Police-constable 127 E said he stopped the prisoner when the boy came up and charged him with stealing his purse. - Prisoner—He could not say that—l did not do it. The fact is I was going to show a friend of mine a black and tan dog— Mr. Corrie—You had better hear what I've got to say before you make any statement. Prisener—Well, I didn't do anything, but I'll hear what you have to say. Mr. Corrie—You have heard the evidence against you, and whatever you say will be written down, and used against 3 ou. Prisoner—You're going to send such a case as this to the Old Bailey ? Mr. Corrie—Yes, I am. I think it a very serious one. Robbing a person on the highway cannot be treated in a lenient manner. Do you wish to make any statement? Prisoner—No, Sir ; don't. I mean I never did what the police say. Mr. Corrie—Do you wish that written down ? Prisoner—No, Sir ; I don't care about anything being written down. Mr. Corrie—l shall commit you for trial. James Barratt was charged with stealing a valuable coat, the property of a gentleman named Lawrence, residing at 3, Leicester-place, Leicester-square. The prosecutor said he was playing billiards at the Opera Hotel, in Bow-street, last night, at about a quarter to 10, when the prisoner entered the room. Some gentlemen said the prisoner had been shifting the coats about that were hanging up, and in a short time after he was seen to leave the place. On looking at the coats that were on the pegs in the hall it was found that he had taken away a good one and left a very bad one. He was followed and taken into custody with the stolen coat in his possession. Mr. Cowie—Did he say anything ? Prosecutor—Yes, he said he'd made a mistake, if it was the wrong coat he had got. He could not have taken my coat away in place of his own without knowing the dif ference. Prisoner—You don't mean to say mine's a bad coat ? You're showing the magistrate the worst side of it. It's not a first-rate one inside, but it's not a bad one on the whole. Prosecutor—But it is not at all like mine. Inspector West said some other property had been found upon the prisoner which he should like to have some in quiry made about. Prisoner—Oh ! those things I found. I don't know any thing about them further than picking them up. Remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING BREAD.—Henry A.ll;;;;: a jo — urneyman baker, in the employ of Mr. John Thomas Earl, of Fobert's-place, Regent-street, baker, was charged as follows : It appeared that on the previous morning the prisoner had a quantity of bread delivered to him to serve the cus tomers at their houses. He, however, having delivered 32 loaves out of 40, sold the remainder for ls. 33., and ab • sconded. On being brought back to his employers by the police he admitted stealing the bread and said he had sold it. _ _ _ -- -- Mr. Beadon (to the prosecutor)—Did he say who he sold the bread to ? Mr. Allen —No, he refused to tell, and said he had spent the money. The prisoner has been in my employ six weeks. Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner, who pleaded guilt y For two months with hard labour. ROBBERY AT MESSRS. PARKINS AND GOTTO'S.—Wm. Peacock, a lad, was charged with stealing two breast pins, atl2s, Oxford-street, the property of Mr. George Parkins. Mr. Parkins, stationer, said he sent the pins to be re paired, and they were sent back from the house in the City. George Gillier, 31, Nutford-place, Edgware-road, hall porter at Messrs. Parkins and Gotto's, Oxford-street, said he received two pins on the 25th of July from a jeweller in Cannon-street, and placed them on his desk, and about three hours after missed them. The prisoner had during that time brought in some goods. Robert Harris, of 22, Holywell-lane, Shoreditch, pawn broker, produced the two pins, which he stopped. He identified the prisoner as the person bringing them. Pri soner said he had found them, and he told him he had better take them to Worship-street. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and nothing being known against his character, Mr. Parkins said he did not wish to press the case harshly. Mr. Beadon having made some most appropriate re marks on the fact of the prisoner having lost his character, committed him for six weeks. LOCALITIES OF FISH.—The fact that fish herd to gether in great flocks or nations seems now to be well esta blished. All the inhabitants of the great deep, from the mighty whale down to the tiny minnow, live in what may be termed colonies. Thus we have the term " a school of whales; we have also the young salmon in shoals, each year's growth in separate companies, and every fish as local in its dwelling-place as men are; we know too that the herrings live also in nations, which arrive at maturity in vast groups at different periods of the season. The same laws govern the crustaceai. Persons who deal in shell fish can easily tall the different localities whence they derive their different supplies. A Scotch lobster can be readily distin guished from a Norway one, and a "native" oyster differs considerably from a scuttle-mouth." These are all points which ought long ago to have led to a better understanding of the natural and economic history of fish. This igno rance has well nigh ruined our most valuable fisheries. We have been trading for years in the belief that the supply was inexhaustible, and are but beginning to find out that it is even possible to exhaust the sea. The German Ocean has been so long 'the fishing pond of Europe that we can scarcely wonder. considering the wealth that has been drawn from its depths, that its supplies are beginning to fail us. There can be no doubt, however, that other sources of sup ply will be discovered ; if so, we can only hopo that some method will be observed in harrying the nest, in order that the supply may be made to go as far as /possible.— London Review.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-MONDAY. Many of our subscribers having taken their departure this afternoon for Doncaster, the time was principally occu pied with comparing notes on the St. Leger. The only change on that event was the support given to Imaus, who was supported, but not very freely, at 100 to 6. The highest offer against either Aurelian or Lady Ripon was 7 to 1. Both had friends present, but that ;price was declined. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap Chere Amie finished favourite. Daring the day Voltella a?peared to be rather shaky ; as much as 10 to 1 was offered against her, but towards the close there was a slight rally in her favour, and the highest offer was sto 1.

In addition to these, there are several tenders. The squadron is manned, in round numbers, by 6,600 men, and mounts upwards of 500 guns. AN ENGINEER CORPS FOR SOUTHWARK.—A corps of Engineers is about being formed in Southwark, and bids fair to become a very creditable addition to the volunteer force of the county of Surrey. Several of the large engineer firms in the district are patrons, and, from the large body of artisans in their employ, it is expected the regiment will be large and efficient. The organisation is on very 'economical principles. and embraces many new features of interest; a very efficient band, in uniform, will be attached. General Sir Charles William Pashley, has been requested to take the command. A POPISH PENITENT.--A priest of Milan was much struck with the repentant air of a young, elegantly dressed man the other day, and gave him absolution. He soon afterwards found that he had lost his valuable re peater. The penitent was an eminent pickpocket; and the worst of all in the eyes of the priest is, that he sent the scamp away fully absolved, so that as a matter of conscience he could not appear against him. THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. This institution, whose useful and instructive character has always found great favour with the public, was at tended last even'' , by a numerous audience to listen to and witness the varied matters prepared for their instruction and annsement, under the able direction of Professor Pepper, who has, we are happy to perceive, resumed the general direction of the establishment. Amongst the more 1 important matters that were brought under the considera tion of the audience was " the prevention of railway catas trophes and collisions," a subject that just now is in vested with more than ordinary interest. It formed ma terials far a lecture by Mr. Pepper, and afforded that gen tleman an admirable opportunity of displaying his powers as a popular lecturer. The learned lecturer exhibited models and diagrams of inventions, by the adop tion of which the inventors declare that railway accidents may be materially avoided. The principal of these inven tions is a safety rail, the purpose of which is to prevent trains or, carriages from running off the line. It is patented by a Mr. Wright, and to effect the end in view, the inventor proposes to construct a racked rim or flange on the outside of the rail, on both sides, to the height of nine inches, thus forming as it were an additional guard on the outside of the rail to the wheel flange on the in. Mr. Wright's invention also contemplates a new and improved system of rails and iron sleepers, bolted and framed together, and of such strength as to endure for 70 years. The estimated cost of the whole scheme is about £3,200 a mile, but the safety flange may be applied to railways as at present laid down, with the ordinary wooden sleepers, at a cost of about £l,OOO a mile, for the single line, or, with an additional means of safety, called " life-guards," which are strong pieces of iron fixed at each end of the carriage, and which, acting as a break, brings the train quickly to a stand, for £l,BOO a mile. There were other features of the invention which were explained by Mr. Pepper. The audience seemed to think that, as a whole, its use, in connexion with railway travelling, will be a great public benefit. Amongst the entertainments of the evening was a pleasant drawing-room concert, entitled " The Rose, the Shamrock, and the Thistle," which was given under the direction of Mr. G. A. Cooper, who was ably and efficiently assisted on the occasion by Miss Grace Barrow and Miss Am€lia Talmer, both of whom achieved considerable success, the former as a contralto, who promises to be heard of in con certs of a higher class hereafter, and the latter as a soprano, who, we anticipate, will become a favourite with the public. The entertainment, as a whole, gave great satisfaction. A ➢'OTAGE FROM WESTMINSTER TO LONDON-BRIDGE. BY A GHOST OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. Can this be London, the orderly and steady-going capital of the kingdom of " Bluff King Harry ;" of her Gracious Majesty our good " Queen Bess ;" and of our royal and learned master King James ? Impossible to tell ; for old landmarks seem to be all removed. 1 have called at Char ing-cross; all appearance of the beautiful cross erected at Charing to good Queen Eleanor's memory has vanished ; but I find the name of " Charing-cross" lettered on a strange-looking building, quite unlike any of my day. The " Golden Cross" is close by, but only in name ; and oh ! the bustle and tumult of this place I Persons in unfashion able and absurd attire move in all directions rapidly along : carriages of the strangest and most remarkable shapes are filled with multitudes of people ; the waggons and carts, loaded with merchandise, and drawn by enormous horses, grind along on (what is this ?) a flat stone solid pavement. My wonder at all this is increased when I search for the King's Mews, and find in its place a great building, which to me looks to be of noble enough proportions. I enter in : and see—it is full of beautiful and wonderful paintings, most of them by artists unknown to me, either by name or style. On leaving this place, I observe a sort of display of statues and fountains ; but so great is the confusion caused by all, that it seems as if it would be a pleasure for me to saunter quietly up St. Martin's .lane, and rest awhile in the open green fields, under the trees. But lo I instead of these there are nothing here bat houses, houses, on and still farther on; and a gentleman of somewhat prim ap pearance, clad in a close-fitting costume of blue, set with silver buttons, and having marked on his collar peculiar letters and figures, tells me that if I go for miles in this direction there will be found nothing but houses still. Perhaps there may be breathing space in Spring Gardens, which, in my time, was a beautiful place, thickly shaded with the most luxuriant trees. The number of passengers who come to and fro by these " steam-packets" seems to me surprising. I have just passed a bridge of fairy-like lightness, which they call Hunger ford, and along which streams of people move : nor is this to be wondered at, when I learn that London now contains close upon three millions of ,people. I hope they do not joke with a poor old ghost; for this is about as much as half the population of England was in the reign of our good Queen Elizabeth. If this be true, Ido not wonder to hear of the immense extent of the metropolis now, or that the new works which we have just passed are intended for a new line of traffic, along which people and goods are carried by an iron horse, fed with burning coal, at the rate of 40 miles an hour. It is not easy for me at once to com prehend all these strange things, although my old friend, the Marquis of Worcester, I dare say, could. Upon the whole, the Temple is less changed than most other places : here are still the steps which were often used by both the company and the players, when they needed a boat to go to Southwark. But where thoseimmense cylinders, which seem to be hung in chains, now are (for lighting London, they tell me, with smoke I), used to be Whitefriars ; and, from my knowledge of the place, I am not sorry it has been removed. What has become of the famous old St. Paul's? which seems, however, to have been most worthily replaced. Where are those quaint-looking church-towers, and other objects, once so prominent ?—Swept off, you say, sir, by the Great Fire —most terrible calamity I But of all the changes in this route, there is none more marked than London-bridge. The fall of water there has been altered : no old and tottering houses now stand upon this thoroughfare. And what is all the crowd hurrying along for, on foot and in vehicles of va rious kinds, as if some great sight were turning out all London? But lam too fatigued to be able to fellow them to see the great sight : I have seen so many, too, already ; and in truth I am stupified with wonder at what I have already seen, and wish much for the present to rest.— Bulkier. Mr. Charles Makinson, recently of Manchester, has been elected Town Clerk of the municipal district of Taradale, Victoria. SERIOUS BOILER EXPLOSION IN THE CITY.—A serious explosion took place yesterday on the premises of Mr. D. A. Jones, packing-case maker, of 14, Bath-street, Newgate-street, Three persons were seriously scalded and burned, one of them lying at present in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. It seems that the men went to work as usual in the morning, a circular sawing machine of four-horse power, which is used on the premises for sawing the wood, being set in motion according to the usual practice. At about half past nine o'clock, however, they were startled by a loud re port, and in a moment the whole of the shutters inclosing the warehouse on the ground floor were thrown with great violence, as well as a portion of the brickwork, some twenty or thirty feet from the premises. Very soon the premises were in a blaze. In consequence, however, of the timely arrival of the engines from the Farringdon-street Station the fire was soon extinguished. A son of Mr. Jones, a lad between eleven and twelve years of age, and two of the workmen, who had been injured by the explosion, were taken out of the premises. Their names are Walter Jones, Alfred Reynolds, aged 26 years, and Robert Honeymore, aged 24 years. The last-named sufferer being severely scalded and burned, he was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The other two sufferers received prompt medical attendance. The whole of the windows of the first and second floors of the building were blown out, as were also the skylight and roof of the house. The roof and portions of the premises of Mr. Buckiand, packer, opposite, have also been blown out. MAKING CRIMINALS.—At Hemel Hampstead petty session, on Wednesday (before Sir A. P. Cooper, Bart., Rev. J. B. Bingham, and Mr. C. Longman), Emma Allen, a child of nine years of age, was charged with stealing some barley, the property of Mr. Jones, a farmer, of Kensworth. Mr. Hill, who conducted the case, said it was one in which three children of the respective ages of 7, 8, and 9 years were concerned in taking the barley from a rick, and they had selected the oldest of the delinquents. To substantiate this case he called George Woodcroft, a boy 10 years old, who stated that he had been to school but did not know the na ture of an oath. Upon being questioned by Sir A. P. Cooper, however, the boy said that in calling God to wit ness that he told the truth, if he did not tell the truth he believed he should be punished hereafter. He was then examined and said—l was in Mr. Jones's wheat field on Tuesday, the 3d inst., at Kensworth, between 10 and 11 o'clock, picking up bean stalks ; there was a barley rick at the end of the wheat field. I saw Emma Allen and others pulling the barley out of the rick ; they had a little barley in their hands; at this time Mr. Jones was coming into the field ; I called to them and they put the barley down and ran away. The barley was here produced, nothing like a handful altogether, and the witness said he saw the prisoners take one of the " bundles" out of the rick, but he could not tell which bundle it was; that produced was all the bundles all the children took put together. Mr. Jones, the prosecutor, was then called. He said,--On the day in question I saw several children near the barley rick; they had a handful each in their hands, and as I walked towards them they ran away. I cannot swear to the girl Allen my self. I sent three bundles home by a boy; I told him to take it to my house. The child in defence said,--I was in the field, gentlemen, and gathered it in my hand from the ground ; I never pulled a bit out of the rick ; it wng all what was dropped on the ground in the wheat field. The prisoner was then fined, with costs, 175., and 2d. the value of the barley. A young man then stepped from the assem bly and said,—l cannot pay the money; lam her brother, and keep her; she has no mother, and her father has lost the use of his arm and leg, and could not walk here to-day to see after his child. Ido all I can to keep a home for them. In consequence of this appeal a fortnight was allo w ed to pay the money, and in default the child stands comm itt ed to Hereford gaol for three weeks.—Rucks ifeivertoir. SURREY SESSIONS, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Tilson.) SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SURGEON. r. David Ormond West, a surgeon and apothe cary, carrying on business in Etham-street, Dover road, Southwark, surrendered to an indictment charging hinal g w il i . t l h l4 an y i e n a d rs ec o e f n a t a a e ss . ault upon Catha rine Hobbs,Mr. Lilley, with Mr. Oppenheim, instructed by Mr. Edwin, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, specially retained with Mr. Thompson for the defendant, instructed by Mr. G. C. Fletcher. Mr. Lilley, in opening the case, stated that it was one of vast importance to the prisoner, who was a medical practitioner in the district of Newington, and if the jury should consider him guilty the offence was one of great enormity. He should call the witnesses and leavveetrheincasiellginetnteloiortntgls. girl, Catharine Hobbs, a y inte about 14, said that on the 22d of last month she lived in the Crescent, in the New Kent-road, and slept at her father's, Russell-place, Old Kent -road. On Saturday, the 24th of August, about eight in the evening, she went to her mother's, told her she was rather costive. Her mother gave her a penny to get some pills. She went to defendant's efendant's shop, and on s ee i ng him told him what she re q uired. He asked her what she wanted them for, when she laughed, as she did not like to answer. He went into a back room and called her to him. He pulled a curtain across the w i n d ow , an d told her to be seated. There was no light in the room. As soon as she was seated on the sofa he put his hand under her clothes. He then requested her to stand up, and re' peated his indecency, and said she was in the family-way. Previous to that she had not asked him to examine her or see whether such was the case. She never asked for anything except the pills. She never was familiar with any male person. As soon as he said she was in the family-way she said, " No, lam not, let me go." He then wanted her to go back with him to the closet, but she got away, and ran home and told Mrs. Young, a lodger, what had occurred. After that her mother came home and she was told what had occurred, and then they all went with a constable to Mr. Wea's house, and he was given into custody. The girl was here severely cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh, who elicited from her that she had been to Mr. West's shop before for medicine, and he never acted improperly towards her on any previous occasion. At the rear of the room he called her in was a sitting-room, in which was a light and several persons at supper. The door leading to the shop was open, but no one coming in could see them as they were situated. When he assaulted her in the manner described she was afraid to call out or run away from him. She, however, told him she wanted to _go. __ _ _ - - - Emma Young, a widow, residing with the mother of the girl, said she recollected the latter coming to her on Saturday night, the 24th ult. She was crying and very much agitated, and complained of the conduct of Mr. West. Elizabeth Aylett, mother of the girl by a former husband, said that on the night in question last wit ness and her daughter informed her what had oc curred at Mr. West's. In the early part of the evening her daughter complained to her of her head and chest, and stated that she was costive. She told her to get some pills, but not to take them until she returned from market. It was then that her daugh ter told her what Mr. West had done. She cried very much at the time. They all went to Mr. West's house, and saw him, when he said that the girl had been to him to complain of some natural deficiency, and he had examined her merely. She told him he was a base man, as the child could know nothing of that. When at the station-house the prisoner said he had examined the girl in a profes sional way, as she said she thought she was in the family-way. In cross•examination by Mr. Sleigh, witness said. that the expense of the prosecution was borne by a friend, but she did not think proper to mention his name. Police-constable 299, James Norton, said he ac companied last witness to Mr. West's shop and she gave him into custody. Witness told him of the charge, when he said the girl came into his shop and asked to be examined as she thought she was in the family-way. The mother told Mr. West he had no right to do so without her consent. At the station house Mr. West said he had examined the girl at her request, and had done it in a professional way. Mr. Sleigh now ai.dressed the jury at some length, stating that the defendant who now stood upon his trial was a gentleman by birth and education, and. a properly qualified practitioner, and the charge brought against him was cruel in the extreme, trad a conspiracy formed by evil-minded persons to ru;,n him in his prospects for life. He had honourably served in her Majesty's navy as a surgeon, and it was not likely he would be guilty of any such filthy act in his profession. No gentleman connected with that profession would be safe if a conviction should follow in this case, as it would be easy for any one to make such a charge when a vindictive motive existed. He was instructed to say that it did so here, and a more cruel prosecution never took place in that court. His answer was that the girl came into his shop, and after asking for the pills requested him to examine her, as she believed herself to be in the family-way. He did so, and nothing more or less than any other professional man would have done. The learned counsel concluded by saying he should call several gentlemen of the medical profes sion, who could speak in high terms of his charac ter, and that he would not be guilty of the indecent conduct imputed to him. Mr. Alexander, a surgeon, of the Dover-road, spoke in favour of Mr. West as a properly-qualified medical practitioner, and as a man of honour and integrity. Mr. Jarvis, rag merchant, Dover-road, also testi fied to the defendant's respectability and his profes sional ability. Several married ladies also gave evidence of a similar nature. A number of tradesmen residing in the vicinity of the Dover-road spoke highly of his conduct. The Chairman then summed up the whole of the evidence with great clearness, commenting upon the most important points, leaving it to the jury to consider whether it was likely that a gentleman of such high character as the defendant committed the act as specified by the girl. There was no other witness to the fact but her; and it would be for them to consider whether it was true or not. The Jury consulted a few minutes and returned a verdict of acquittal. The verdict was received with clapping of hands, which was immediately repressed by the officers of the court. 21118 DAYS 82tIPPING, LONDON, Sept. 17.—Wind this day at noon—North- Westerly; moderate breeze and fine 'weather, but rather cloudy.
