This dreadful calamity has been up to the present time attended with the loss of ten lives. The premises occupy a large area on that portion of the waterside which is known as Cuckold's Point, opposite to the Limehouse entrance of the West India Docks, and about half a mile from the Commercial Dock pier. The boiler and engine house stood on the river side of the mills, parallel with the wharf, and contained two long boilers of 50-horse power each, laid in massive brickwork. Only one boiler had been at work during the day, and it appears that about the same time the night men came on, 6 o'clock, a defect was noticed in a joint of the feed-pipe to the engine. The engine -driver, Thomas Wild, at once sent for Thomas Spinks, an engine-fitter living in the neighbour: hood, who was usually employed by the firm to make good the defects, at the same time turning the steam off the boiler. It would seem, however, that the driver, acting under the impression, probably, that the joint would speedily be re paired, had omitted to "draw" the furnace, as a quantity of fire is stated to have been in it. The fitter arrived, and, with the driver, proceeded down to the engine -room and commenced their work; but finding that they required assistance, they communicated with one of the officials, and the whole of the labourers who had just come on were sent to their aid. Six of the men were desired to sup port the pipe which ran across the roof, while Spinks and Wild went on with repairing the joint. There was also in the engine-room Mr. Alfred Duvrensart, nephew of the members of the firm, and Alec Burk, the foreman, who were looking on. There had been three or four other labourers in the chamber, but their services not being im mediately required, they had only left a few minutes before the explosion took place. CRYSTAL PALACE.— One Shilling Day, Tuesday, Sept. 17 . — Admissions on payment, 24,763; ditto by season tickets, 2,963; total visitors, 27,726, The engine .room was a small brick chamber, about Bft. by 12, at the basement of the mills. A glance at the boiler too clearly showed that some portion of it exploded, and had sprung forward from its bed of brickwork four or five feet, and that the inner part of the boiler with the massive iron bars of the furnace and other plates had been blown out direct at the poor fellows who were at work only some four or five feet in front. Of the 10 unhappy creatures who were in this chamber not one escaped. The names of the persons killed are Mr. Alfred Duvren sart, aged 18, nephew to Messrs. Badart ; Samuel Wild, 34, engine-driver; Tbomas Spinks, 24, engine fitter; Jas. Keeley, 45, labourer; and Patrick Cauty, 16, labourer; the foreman, Alec Bark ; Charles Macarthy, 15, labourer; James Gailly, 17, labourer; John Burk, 26; and Davis, 17. The boiler is what is termed a Cornish boiler, and has not been in use any length of time. It is said the pressure at which it had been worked during the day was from 401 b to 501 b the square inch. considerably below that at which it had been worked, while it had been tested to a pressure equal to 1001 b. The coroner's inquiry commenced this morning before Mr. Carttar, but it is expected that the investigation will be adjourned to admit of an examination of the remains of the boiler by competent parties. The persons, perhaps, who could have given some ex planation, viz., the engineer and his assistant, are unfortu nately amongst those who have perished by the explosion. 40 1184 Foreign Gold in Bars (Standard), ...per oz. £3 17 9 Mexican Dollars ..„ „ 0 0 0 Silver in Bars (Standard) .. ~ 0 5 Og 0 0 0 11 ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—M. Leverrier read a paper on the nomenclature of the small planets. Astronomers have hitherto :been in the habit of giving each of the telescopic planets a name, such as Flora, Vesta, Doris, &c. M. Leverrier asks whether it would not be better to mark them with the number denoting , the order of their discovery, and add to this the name of the disco verer, thus, for instance—(B) Hind, (40) Goldschmidi, (63) Gasparis, &c. This system of nomenclature had been ob jected to by Mr. Hind, on the ground that astronomers would be confused by the juxtaposition of numbers and names ; M. Leverrier, on the other hand, in defence of his plan, asks whether astronomers believe that the number of small planets is limited, or the contrary ? If limited the present system may be persisted in; but if unlimited, it must in the end be abandoned, and in that case the sooner the better. M. Biot communicated two letters from M. Valz, honorary director of the Observatory at Marseilles, in which he repeats his assertions that the earth passed through the comet's tail on the 30th of Juno last, and in support of this opinion computes the position of the tail, the situation of the earth, &c. It is a curious fact that on such a mathe matical question as the inclination of a comet's tail, and the position of that body and the earth at a given moment, there should be two, and even three, opinions ; for our readers must recollect that Messrs. Hind, Liais, and Valz all admit that the comet's tail swept the earth, but neither agree as to the hour or the day ; while M. Leverrier has cast great doubts upon the occurrence. REPRESENTATION OF PLYMOITTIL—We have rea son to believe that the announcement that Mr. Earle was about to offer himself as a candidate for Plymouth was in correct. Mr. Earle was invited to come forward, but de clined the honour of representing his party on the present occasion. On the Ist of July, the French Minister at Pekin gave a grand dinner in honour of the Ambassador anfl E nv oy Extraordinary of Prussia, Count Eulenberg. All the diplomatic representatives were present on the occasion. ~~ THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

At a meeting of the representative vestry of the parish of Paddington, which was held yesterd ay morning in the Vestry-Hall, Paddington-gre en , under the presidency of Lieut.-Col. Worthy, special attention was called by Dr. J. B. Sanderson, the medical officer of health, in a report to be printed and circulated by the board, to the enormous contingent which this parish had contributed an nually durin‘,._ , the past five years to the general infancy. To of deaths by the mortality of early To prove this he exhibited a table which illustrated it in a striking manner. It showed that out of no less than 733 infants under three months of age that had died in Paddington an equal number had lost their lives from violence as from small-pox, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, erysipelas, and fever, put together, making 5.6 per cent. of the total mortality under that age (exclusive of 40 other deaths from doubtful causes), which constituted 12.1 per cent. of the total mortality of the parish. Only a small number of these fell victims to the so called diseases of infancy, comparatively few even of diarrhcea, but another large proportion of com plaints which, he asserted, might be best grouped together, as being all of them dependent on impaired or disordered nutrition, determined mainly, even in this somewhat aristocratic parish, by overcrowding. The learned doctor then proceeded to illustrate, by facts already published, the pernicious influence exercised by overcrowded dwellings in the first few months of infantile life, and he thought the most striking was one set forth by Mr. Simon, who stated that in 17,650 children born in the Dublin Lying-in-Hospital, when the hospital was unveil-. tilated, 2,944 (17.0 per cent.) died within the first fortnight of their life ; by far the greater number of these deaths being preceded by convulsions ; among 16,654 i n f an t s b orn a f ter t h e war d s h a d b een ventilated only 286 died (1.7 per cent.), so that the general mortality had been reduced to one-tenth of what it was, and the mortality under one special head, that of convulsions, t o 1.68. H e (D r . Sander son) said in London the air of the dwellings of the poor was subject to contamination of this kind, not only b . y overcrowding, s t r i c tl y so ca l led, but by the ex hal ations from the lungs and s ki n o f an i ma l s. Thou sands of familieslived in rooms over stables,a practice which he contended to be a vely fruitful source of infantile disease. Dr. Gairdner, of Edinburgh, had concluded, from a large statistical inquiry, that the variations of infantile mortality could not be accounted for, either by destitution or by the preva lence of local conditions unfavourable to health; and that in the metropolis it was not only the over crowded districts of the east which were fatal to children, but that in St. George's, Hanover-square, which until recently enjoyed the lowest general death rate in London, the infantile death rate was enormous—higher than that of the Strand district or Stepney, and about equal to those of Shoreditch, Bermondsey, and Lambeth. In explanation of so surprising a result, he (Dr. Sanderson) suggested that a large proportion of the poor of the western dis tricts inhabited stable dwellings, and were therefore subject to the diseases arising therefrom ; but on the other hand, he considered the inhabitants of the west-end houses were more:favourably circum stanced than those of the courts and alleys of the older districts, not only as regarded general drainage and airiness, but in the absence of those evils which resulted from destitution. In addition to those evils he thought the infantile population was sub ject to other causes of unhealthiness, rather moral than physical, and the large number of instances that stood in the register as the causes of death, and besides these the numerous cases of infanticide for which no motive could be ascertained, and probably none existed except recklessness—all strengthened the suspicion suggested by Mr. Gairdner's statis tical inquiry, or, at all events, they pointed to the existence of evils much deeper than those of over crowding and bad drainage. TITHES LEVIED ON THIEVES.—The arrest of a numerous band of thieves in Pais has led to the discovery of a new category of malefactors, who contrive to lead a free and easy life by levying a kind of black mail on thieves and swindlers. These men, who are called fileurB, and always go well dressed, are perfectly familiar with the habits and slang of the various categories of malefactors. Their mode of proceeding is to watch any thief or swindler whom they see about to exercise his craft, and as soon as he has suc ceeded in his attempt, to demand a share to the amount of 15 per cent., under threat of delivering him up to the police. The thieves for some time strove hard to get rid of these parasites, who lived in clover at their expense, and without incurring any great risk. Several of them have, however, just been arrested, in consequence of disclosures made by the band of thieves recently captured. UNITED STATES GENERALS.--Major-Generals M'Clellan, Fremont, and Hallock, who have been appointed to that rank in the regular army, were all formerly officers of the army—two of them, Generals M'Clellan and Hallock, are West Point graduates, and were foremost in their class. Gen. Fremont achieved a reputation for himself as a cavalry officer upon the plains and in frequent engagements with Indians. The four Major-Generals for volunteers are Hunter, Dix, Banks, and Butler. Gen. Hunter is a gra duate of West Point, and was appointed from the regular army. Gen. Dix has served in our army under Gen. Scott ; while Generals Banks and Butler were appointed from civil life, and have been universally approved. These Generals have already made evident not only administrative but military talent that has attracted to them the attention of the nation. The brilliant administrative ability mani fested by General Banks, as Speaker of the House of Re presentatives and Governor of the State of Massachusetts, was but an earnest of what is promised in his military career. Brigadier-Generals Mansfield, M'Douall, Megs, Anderson, Ripley, Rosencranz, and Thomas, are all gra duates of IN est Point, and were all distinguishe 1 in their classes. Thirty-six of the 51 Brigadier-Generals appointed are West Point graduates ; two others were officers of the regular army, and still four others served with distinction as volunteers in the Mexican war. There are only 12 of the Brigadiers who have not had the advantage of either military education or actual experience in the art of war.— New York Herald. FUNERAL OF THE LATE BEN CAUNT.—The remains of the late Ben Caunt, of St. Martin's-lane, London, were conveyed through Nottingham on Saturday last, on their way to Hucknall Torkard churchyard, the birth-place and burial place of Ben 'jaunt and his wife, who was a Miss Butler. The funeral cortege on its arrival in Nottingham proceeded up Wheeler-gate and across the Market-place, on its way to Hucknall Torkard. The mourners consisted of Mr. Caunt (deceased's only surviving son), Robt. Caunt (Ben's brother), Miss Caunt (his daughter), and Miss But ler. Bendigo, ex-champion of England, with whom Caunt had fought two battles, joined them at the station, an I ap peared much affected. Very large concourses of people assembled to see the funeral (roughly estimated at 2,000). The grave in which Ben's last remains were deposited is next to that in which Mrs. Caunt, his late wife, was buried. On Sunday, a sermon touching on the burial was preached in the morning by the Rev. Mr. Jackson, and by the Rev. Mr. Jackson, jun., in the afternoon. Mr. Caunt sad his uncle attended both services. Caunt's death was by no means a sudden one. On the contrary, he had been con fined to his bed for five days previous to his death. Nearly six months ago, in a row in which he was compelled to in terfere, one of his knuckles was put out or splintered, and from that time he gradually sank until the time of his death. A SAD CONCLUSION TO A LOVE STORY.—Charles Ross, a young man who has been for some time keeper of a salt store in Perth, was to have been married yesterday. H• had been bred a gardener, and was above a year ago em ployed as such in a gentleman's place in the north of Eng.. land, where he contracted an intimacy with the laundress, who is daughter to a gamekeeper near Wooler. After a lengthened and seemingly affectionate correspondence, they mutually agreed upon being married forthwith, and ac cordingly were proclaimed with that view in Perth on the Ist instant. They met by arrangement in Edinburgh on Friday last, when Charles's father, who usually. resides in Prestonpans, and his sister, who is at service in Fife, and was to act as bridesmaid, were requested to be present. It would appear that the bride-elect being dissatisfied with the proposal that she and Charles should content them selves with temporary quarters until they could find, or justifiably rent, a house for themselves, upbraided her be trothed with bringing her away from her friends to a land of strangers, and somewhat passionately refused to take him for better for worse —tearing at the same time the pro clamation lines from his hands, that he might have no far ther claim, as she said, upon her. They, however, afterwards appear to have so far made up matters, and left for Perth in the course of the evening, with a view, as was thought, to be married there, if the lodgings that had been pro vided, and other circumstances connected with the young man's employment, met with his betrothed's satisfaction. Such would seem not to have been the case, as Charles wrote to his father, who is presently employed as a joiner in town, that he was in a very miserable state of mind, and all because of his own dear Anne, who would not listen to reason. He added that he did not know what to do, or what was to become of him ; but that wherever his body was found there would he a note in his pocket containing his address in Perth. On Wednesday be appears to have so far changed his mind; and, taking the train from Perth to Edinburgh, wrote another brief note, while crossing from Burntisland, to his father, saying that his body would likely be found near Prestonpans, as he still was in a most miserable state of mind, all because of his dearest Anne, whom he still very heartily forgfive, and hoped that all his family would do so too. Both notes were posted together to his father's tem porary address in Edinburgh. Meanwhile the young man took the afternoon train to Frestonpans ; and on arriving at his father's residence there, threw himself on the bed, making some incoherent observations expressive of his ex • treme grief at what had befallen him. Although a medical man was sent for, who administered something in the hope of securing relief, poor Charles died within less than an hour — under strong suspicions of having taken opium or laudanum_ to excess, begging with almost his last intelligible 14 2 _ 1;1 1'; that his sister should wear the ring that was meant '" Rune,—Ninblirgla Courant, STATUS OF SCOTTISH BISHOPS 1I LNGLAND. Dr. Travers Twiss, vicar-general of the province of Canterbury, and judge of the Consistory Court of the diocese of London, has just given an important opinion as a ff ect i ng t h e pos i t i on o f bi s h o p s o f the Episcopal Church of Scotland in this country. For some time past Dr. Trower, who was consecrated Bishop of Glasgow in 1848, but resigned that ap pointment in 1859, and some months ago was ap pointed to the sub-deanery of Exeter Cathedral — has been exercising episcopal functions in the dio cese—consecrating churches, confirming, &c. The following p o i n t s were submitted to Dr. Twiss-1. Whether an E ng li sh bishop can lawfully appoint, as his coadjutor, a bishop of the Scottish Episcopal Church to perform episcopal and spiritual functions in England, as to consecrate churches and hold con firmations? Whether, under the 60th canon of the English Church, power to confirm can be delegated at all ? Must not the rite be performed personally by the bishop of the diocese in which the confirma tion is held, or by his suffragan lawfully appoi n t e d P Or is there any statutable provision enabling him to delegate that function or to appoint a coadjutor for any spiritual purpose ? 3. Especially, d oes t h e restricted power to officiate in English churches, given to bishops and presbyters of the Episcopal Church in Scotland by the Act of 3d and 4th Victoria, c. 33, extend to the performance of episcopal functions at all ? The permissive words, applying alike to bishops and priests, are—" To perform Divine service and preach and administer the sacraments." Are not these words satisfied by the performance of priestly as distinct from episcopal functions ? And must not the terms " Divine Service" and " Sacraments" as used in the act, be construed to answer to the Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments, "excluding other rites and ceremonies of the Church, and the form or manner of making, ordaining," &c., which is the full title of our Eng lish Service-book ? If the enabling words of this act can be construed to extend to confirmation, why not to ordination also? Would not a Scottish bishop be subject to the penalty of £5O under the section 5 of the act for holding a confirmation or performing any episcopal functions? 4. Would a clergyman, declining to present candidates for con firmation, when a Scotch bishop is delegated to per form the rite, be liable to ecclesiastical censure for canonical disobedience ? That England is very jealous of recognising Scotch episcopacy is apparent from the statute-book, and no marvel considering its early history. See 10th Anne, c. 7 ; 21st George IL, c. 34 ; and 32d George 111., c. 63 ; besides 3d and 4th Vic., c. 33, already specially referred to. It is observable, moreover, that in the statut e s deal ing with the disch arge f episcopal functions in England the legislature is careful to use express and distinct terms. See 26th George 111., c. 84, sec. 3 ; 6th and '7th Viet., c. 62 ; 15th and 16th Vict., c. 52. Dr. Twiss replies as follows :—" 1. I am of opinion that a bishop of the Scottish Episcopal Church can not be lawfully appointed coadjutor of a bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland. 2. I am of opinion that a bishop of the united church of England and Ireland may commission another bishop who is not disqualified by the law of the land to hold confirmations within his diocese, notwith standing anything in the 60th canon. lam of opi nion that the power given to bishops and priests of the episcopal church of Scotland under 3d and 4th Vic., c. 33, to perform Divine Service and to preach and administer the sacraments, does not extend to the exercise of episcopal functions in an English diocese. I think that a Scotch bishop exer cising episcopal functions in an English diocese would be subject to the penalty imposed by 3d and 4th Vict., c. 33, sec. 5. I think a minister of the Church of England would not be liable to ecclesias tical censure lot canonical disobedience if he were to omit to present any candidates for confirmation by a Scotch bishop under the circumstances stated." CORMUNICATION WITH FRANCE. With a view to the enlarged continental traffic of the second Exhibition 3 - ear, the South-Eastern Railway Company are developing their over-sea communications. Early this month a new service was opened between Dover and Ostend, giving direct communication with Belgium, Holland, and Germany, and yesterday (Tuesday) a new fast steamer, the Victoria, made her first voyage from Folkestone to Boulogne and back in the extraordi narily brief periods of 1 hour and 34 minutes and 1 hour and 33 minutes respectively, or at the rate of 20 miles per hour. In the voyage over she encoun tered an adverse sea, but only once or twice shipped any water. On the return voyage a strong north wind was dead ahead of her. In fine weather, therefore, she may be expected to do the 30 miles, which is probably the course of the passenger steamers, in 1 hour and 20 minutes. The present advertised time of the company's boats is 2 hours and 10 minutes; but with such wind and sea as yesterday the ordinary boats would probably take 10 or 15 minut: s longer. The saving in time by the Victoria over the boats hitherto used may therefore be reckoned at three-quarters of an hour —a consideration of much importance to timid voyageurs, and not without its advantages to all whose business or pleasure calls them to encoun ter a sea voyage. The Victoria is much larger than any of the other South-Eastern boats—so long, in deed, that she can scarcely turn in the river oppo site the Boulogne Customhouse, and her internal accommodations are in consequence superior. The, engines, which are by Messrs. Penn, of Green wich, are oscillating, of 220-horse power, and gave 391 revolutions per minute going over, and 381 on the return voyage, with a scarcely perceptible vibration to the ship. Capt. Paul, late of the Lord Warden, has been promoted to the command of the Victoria, and Mr. Rennie, who has also been many years in the company's service, is the chief engineer. On her return trip the Victoria brought 350 pas sengers. Capt. Boxer, R.N., the company's super intendent at Folkestone, Mr. Samuda, and Mr. Penn, were on board watching the working of the vessel, and we believe we are correct in saying that all parties concerned were highly satisfied with the result. She is considered to be the fastest steamer afloat, having beaten the Leinster, an Irish boat having that credit hitherto, be seven minutes in the 84 miles from Gravesend to Folkestone. A sister boat to the Victoria has been built by Messrs. Samuelson, of Hull, but has not yet come into the company's hands. She will be named the Eugenie. and will be placed on the same station. PRUSSIAN MILITARY MAN(EUV.R.ES. The operations of the Bth Army Corps against a supposed enemy took place on the morning of the 14th inst., in the neighbourhood of Kirdorf. His Majesty arrived about 11 o'clock, dressed in the uniform of the King's Hussar Regiment, and cor dially saluted the troops, who, on the preceding day, had performed the manceuvres entirely to his Majesty's satisfaction. The Queen WdS on the ground in a carriage ; but the Crown Princess ap peared on horseback, accompanied by a lady of honour. All the other members of the royal family and the foreign dignitarie3 whose names have been already mentioned were in the suite of the King. The operations commenced by the vanguard, con sisting of three regiments, being placed in two lines near Kirdorf, and to these were added three regi ments of cavalry. The cavalry opened the attack by some skirmishing manceuvres, and after several attacks and firing several volleys, they made a rear ward movement, during which the main body of the army corps, drawn forward by a feint, advanced towards the heights of Millendorf and Etchendorf. Daring this offensive movement the advanced guard which f or med themselves into a reserve. Th e a d vantages of cavalry were particularly manifest the light during tile operations by the manner incavalryea made the attack at the commencement , and by the attack of the reserve regiments just before the close of the day. The King and his staff followed up the movements of the troops d • uring the whole time occupied, and were on the dtw o o'clock. until o'clock. Fortunately the weather cleared up just as the manoeuvres began ; but some of the men, who in the morning had marched from distant quarters, were drenched with rain. The health of the troops is said to be most satisfactory, however, and the field hospital established at Bergheim contains but few patients. Only two deaths have occurred since the men have been assembled, and accidents have been rare. Further manoeuvres of both army corps against each other were to take place on Monday, and there was to be a bivouac of four days' duration. Through the concentration of so many troops, amounting to about 50,000 men (as each army corps in the Prussian service com prises 25,000 troops), and particularly as the men are drawn closer together, the villages neighbourhood of the field of operations havebe.e so crowded that in one small place. conta ini n g e 'll termina te less than 90 houses, 600 men and 50 horses are quartered.
