The applicat'on of the Joint-stook principle to Marine Insurance has proved eminently successful, and the de servedly high price of the shares of the existing Marine In surance 4 ompaniett clearly demonstrates the great confidence which the public have in such undertakings. Under proper manag ement, the safe mid highly remunera tive nature of such business is well known ; and although several new Marine Insurance Companies have been esta blished within the last few years, there is not the slightest doubt that, from the increasing expansion of the trade of this country, the existing channels are not sufficient to meet the wants of the mercantile community. The recent reports of the existing Marine Insurance Com panies thew what great progress they have made, and in fact there is scarcely an instant of a properly constituted and well imandged Marine Insurance Company having been otherwise than steadily successful and progressive. During the last quarter of a century the export trade of 'this country has more than trebled itself, which is shown by the following figures, extracted from the accounts of the Board of Trade : Tne declared value of the exports and manufactures of the United Kingdom was— In 1834 £4l/49.191 In 1844 5.,584,292 In 1854 97,184,726 In 1850 130,440,427 In 1860 135,89 ,227 Thevalue of the foreign and colo n i a l produce exported from this country has also increased in an equally satisfactory ratio. The ehicC , lng clearing out from British ports in the foreign and colonial trade alone increased from 2,185,099 tons in 1834 to 1 i,703,162, in 1862. A very profitable field for Marine Insurance has sprang up during the last fifteen years by the immense increase in the importation ( f gold and silver to this country, and the ex portation of the same to other parts of the world. At the present dote the Bullion trade of the United Kingdom exceeds sixty million pounds sterling per annum, and this is irres pective of the very large sums passing through private firms, of which no account appears in the official returns. It is somewhat remarkable that none of the large London Marine Insurance Companies have as et established branches in Scotland ; and i n establishing y a branch of the English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company at Glas gow, the Directors propose to take advantage of this un touched field. Hitherto the principal marine insurance business of Glas gow and the other ports of Scotland has been effected through he intervention of Loudon brokers ; and, considering the obvious evils and inconveniences of such a system, it is sur prising it has been tolerated so long. The amount of tonnage owned in Glasgow is very great, d are n for many years past th e tra d e of the port has been in statisticscasing very rapidly, as w ill b e seen from the following : Customs Revenues collected at Glasgow.

The Clyde, it is well known, is also the largest shipbuild ing district in the world, and this trace is rapidly being aug mented. From the promises of support which the Directors have received from influential houses, they entertain the greatest confidence in the success of the undertaking', the Directors having been able to secure the services of thoroughly quali fied underwriters, who already command an extensive con nection. There will therefore be no delay in the commence ment 01 the Company's business. The head offio will be in London, where, as well as at Glasgow, the business will be carried on, on the principles adopted b o th leading marine insur ance companies. surance The following statistics of a f ew of the present marine in companies show the highly succe:sful nature of such business when conducted with proper management:— T H 0 X F 0 R 1) , e, OXFORD STREET.

The object of this enterp ise is to take advantage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise 1: uties, ur der cir limstances pecuiiarly favourable, the materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope ration, at prices very h ghly remunerative, as compared with the cos , of similar products in the o. en market. 2. It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to :5 per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly increa ing demand for the supply of Books, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plane, with the greatest regard to economy of production by the savin; of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. 3. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862, it is proposed to purchase at their actu cost, the under takiags of the }Africk Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company. 4. Ihe works of the Ulmate or Ammonia Company were established in 18(10, on t'ie Thames, at Grays, in Essex, f or the purpose of w or ki ng Ward's Patents for obtaining paper making materials from rags of mixed fabrics, and a valuable manure powder from the res due. The patent process has proved, mechanically and commercially, completely success ful, and workin by day only, the machinery produces 25 tons of paper -making material per we k, and about the same quantity of powder, containing' bout 15 per cent. of soluble nitrogen, estim a t e d as ammonia, closely approaching in rich ness to the be s t qua li ties of Peruvian guano. 5. In 1882, a lar l for ma ,ufacturin into paper the fibrous products ofthe av , rks at Grays, in mixture with other materials, was erected on the Dartford Creek, by the well known engineering firm, Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons, with every recognised practical improvement in construction and machinery. Driven by steam power, abundantly supplied with the purest water from an Artesian well, with coal and materials by water carriage, and cheap transport for the paper by rail to London, the power and economy of produc tion have proved highly advantageous as compared w ith mills located, as the great majority still are, on country streams, on which they are more or less dependent for mo tive power and for water for working purpo ses. 6. The present turn out of the Paper Mill is 16 tons of news and print ng papers per week made to order, and the works were built so as to admit of the doubing of the production, at an outlay very largely below the cost of the original under taking. Orders have been issued by the Board of Admi ralty to extend the arrangements at Woolwich so as shipwrights are to be to hasten the Jomp l et i on o f t h e amour cased ship Caledonia. Addi t i onal in creased twofold. Th e armour s h e d i s t o b e length ened 80 feet, so as to fit up additional machinery. A second bending machine, supplied by Messrs. West wood, Baillie, and Co., of the Isle of Dogs, is being erected, which is said to be the largest and most powerful hydraulic apparatus yet made. The ram is 28 inches in diameter. The cylinder is made of wrought iron, and the upper and lower cross heads are of cast iron, and weigh 34 tons. The upper cross head is kept in place by four wrought iron screwed columns, which are fitted with large nuts to adjust the height. Tne water is forced into the cylinder by a pairof gun metal pumps,which are so arranged that they can be worked by hand or steam power. A gauge is fitted to the machine to indicate the amount of pressure required for bending armour plates of various thicknesses. The total weight of the machine is 55 tons, and it is guaranteed by the makers to work up to a pressure of 1,800 tons. Since the arrival of the apparatus at the dockyard every portion of it has been carefully inspected by persons connected with the Russian agency in Lon don, with a view of purchasing similar machinery for the Russian Government. One of the kind is also to be fitted up at the dockyard at Pembroke. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Capt. F. S. Tremlett, to the Impregnable; Capt. Hon. F. A. Foley, to the Revenge; Capt. G. T. Hornby, to the Edgar, vice Foley; Commander T. H. M. Martin, to the Buz zard, vice Ingram promoted ; Commander W.

It is expected that within a fortnight no fewer than I 38 New York regiments will have returned—men inured to war, whom Gen. hooker and the Govern ment can ill spare, but who obstinately refuse to re enlist under commanders in whom they have no eenfidence and fora cause which they have ceased to approve. A number of thestrong-mitided young women and :fed spinsters, together with a sprinkling of the female doctors, lecturers, and preachers for wham New England is famous, have formed themselves into a "Loyal League," the objects of which arc to discourage shopping at millinery, mercer:, and tither establishments, the proprietors of which do ❑ot thoroughly approve the war and Mr. Lincoln's policy ; and to cease all social intercourse with gen tlemen and ladies who so far sympathise with the Southern people as to think that eight millions of them ought not to be exterminated for the sake of giving immediate and unconditional freedom to four millions of negroes. It is probable that the real gentlemen and ladies of New England will not grieve overmuch at exclbision from the tea-tables of such vulgar Xantippes, and equally possible that the prosperous traders of the cities of New England may not suffer much pecuniary loss for want of the custom of people who are probably as poor in purse as they are in charity. The movement is of no fur ther importance than to show how much more odious a civil war is than any other, and what an evil influence it exercises upon the minds of that gentle sex whose privilege it is, and whose pleasure it should be, to allay violent and bloodthirsty pas sions rather than excite them. Another kind of "league," formed by the women of New England, deserves as much praise as this deserves reproba tion. Having heard that the soldiers in camp are liable to scurvy and other cutaneous diseases, for want of an adequate supply of fresh vegetables, and especially of onions, some kind-hearted rather than strong-minded women have formed themselves into an " Onion League," the main objects of which are to promote the growth of onions, and to forward them free of charge for the use of the soldiers in all the armies of the Republic. Such patriotism may be homely, but it is true. Better the humblest sister of an " Onion League" than a whole wilder ness of female ranters like Miss Dickenson ; for the same reason that ono Florence Night ingale in the hospitals of the Crimea recommends herself more heartily to the love and good will of all mankind than 50 regiments of viragoes, unsexed, unnatural, and consequently disagreeable. Frederick Douglass, the negro orator, and beyond all comparison the most able man of his colour in America, lectured in Dr. Cheever's church, on Wed nesday, to a large audience, of whom three-fourths were whites, on the "Present and Future Prospects of the Coloured Race" in this country. He took high ground on behalf of his people, and asserted that nothing but civil and political equality, and the full enjoyment of all the rights, privileges, and immunities of any other portion of the community would satisfy the negro race either during or after the war. He said nothing about social equality, being a man of too much good sense to moot the point among a people whose whole course of public and private life is a protest against it whenever it becomes a question of a man or woman with the smallest portion of black blood in his or her veins. He said it had been charged that the negro in a state of freedom would die out, like the red race, before the onward progress of the white man ; " but he opined if slavery had failei to kill him, he would not be exterminated by liberty." Herein Mr. Douglass mistook both the fact and. the argument. It is e.eserted and proved that in the free North, principally from climatic and partly from social causes, the annual number of negro births is ex ceeded by the number of deaths; and that, con sequently, the race is surely, though it may be slowly, in process of extinction. It is not asserted that either in a state of slavery or of freedom in the South—where the climate is highly con genial to their increase—the negroes would die out. The idea is that they would be driven out, or exter minated as the red men have been, if there were no means of compelling them to labour upon the soil. This idea is not only entertained by the Southern slave-owners, but by the President of the United States, who sees no hope for free negroes anywhere within the boundaries of the late United States, and thinks the best thing that can be done for the whole black population is to transport it back to its native Africa, or drive it down into Central America. Mr. Douglass may be excused for thinking differently, but it is not the negroes, bat the white men, who will decide the great question of the destiny of these people, so useful in the South—so hated, des pised, and oppressed in the AVcst and the North• So difficult is the question that even the Govern ment of Mr. Lincoln, which has declared itself in favour of the freedom of the race, has unexpectedly found itself acting the part of the slave-owner, without these guarantees for kind treatment which the personal relations of the master to his slave inspire and perpetuate. Adjutant-General Thomas in Louisiana, finding himself encumbered with too many negroes, who had freed themselves by the simple expedient of running away from their mas ters, has issued an official order, proposing that the plantations of rebels seized under the Confiscation Act shall be leased out to substantial farmers for the benefit of the Government, and that the Govern- ment shall supply the lessees with compulsory negro labour, to be paid for at a certain daily rate. In other words, he proposes to re-establish " involun tary servitude"—tho polite Southern euphemism for slavery—paying a money wage instead of a wage in kind, as was the Southern custom; and with this difference to the disadvantage of the negro that when he is unable to work he shall no longer be en titled to receive any pay. The Tribune, whom none will accuse of hostility to the Government, or to any of its agents employed in the difficult task of giving freedom and sustenance to the slave, de nounces the project as nothing but slavery under a new guise. " Under such a system," it says, "it is inevitable that the estates will be leased by speculators, and no amount of care or superinten dence by the Government commissioners will be able to protect the negrocs from oppression, cruel treat ment, and overwork. Except that punishment by the lash is forbidden, they will be if possible worse off than on the same plantations und Terhe thei own r er of old masters and in undisguised sla ver y . slaves had the inducement of self interest net to go beyond a certain point in his exactions and abuses. The lessee is freed from an y such restraint, and by the terms of his contract, which is to expire in less than a year, hi s only inter est is to g et all p ossib le work in the shortest possible time out of his la hewers. Idle stipulations, impossible of enforce ment, will not fetter an unscrupulous speculator such as most of these lessees arc likely • to be.

On Wednesday new colours were presented on Mount Wise, Devonport, by Mrs. Hutchinson, wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the *Western District, to the 75th or Stirlingshire Regiment, quartered in the Raglan Barracks there. This regiment was actively engaged in India throughout the whole of the mutiny. It was one of the first encamped before Delhi, and remained until the capture of the city, and then proceeded with Col. Greathead's moveable column to Lucknow, where it rendered effective assistance in the relief of the garrison. After 13 years' arduous duty in India, the 75th returned to England last June, and, its present colours being worn and shattered, new colours were prepared by the authorities at the Horse Guards. These colours are, as in all similar cases, much smaller than those formerly used, the depth being only 3ft bin, and the breadth 3ft. The Queen's colour has in th e centre the number 75,in Roman letters, surmounted by a crown. The ground of the regimental colour is yellow, like the facings of the regiment; its number in the mid dle is encircled by the word " Stirlingshire," sur rounded by a wreath composed of the rose, sham rock, and thistle; underneath is the figure of a Bengal tiger (the regimental emblem), which h as the words " India" above and " Seringapatam " be low it. The words " Delhi " and " Lucknow," on either side, are to be added hereafter. A small Union Jack is i n th e upper corner. Each of the co. lour staffs is surmounted by a golden lion. The colours having b een f ormally d e di cate d b y the Rev. C. Moore, the chaplain, Col. Radcliff, the officer com manding, acknowledged their reception in suitable terms, and they were then, attended by the band, trooped through the regiment. The festivities con cluded on Wednesday with a sumptuous ball and supper at St. Geo rge ' s H a ll , S tone h ouse.

Lewis, and in succession to several of the captains, to test their efficiency in the command of certain battalion movements. They were performed with much tact and judgment, and the Inspector-Gene ral had occasion only in one instance to recall the officer's attention to an irregularity. The batta lion was subsequently broken into three and formed a brigade under the command of Col. Michell. After performing a series of brigade movements they retired to barracks for dinner. At 2 o'clock the remainder of the division, con s i s ti ng of officers' servants and others employed i n b arracks, undis a minute i nspection of the kits, examined the pock e t registers, which each companies in in the en'b were draw n up in eight parade barrack squ are, when the General This portion of the inspection, occupied two hours, a n d at 4 o ' clock the Bzroan went e . through heHled out for the purpose. men were dismissed from parade.

If he arrives there in any other charac ter than that of a prisoner of war, the world will be compelled to admit that his proud self-assertion was but the self-knowledge of genius, and that the Federal Government has at last found a captain worthy of the more than Herculean task which that Government has to perform. But if he be foiled by superior skill or bravery—defeated by the ele ments, or fatally impeded by unforeseen accidents and contingencies—or if, at the most, he achieve no greater results than a drawn battle, leaving the possession of Richmond as remote and forlorn a hope as it has been at any time within last twelvemonth—the worlii will in like manner be compelled to admit that his courage was but rash ness, his criticism of others but presumptuous folly, and his faith in himself but arrogance and conceit of the most stupendous and offensive cha racter. A few days will show the stuff he is made of. If he capture Richmond he will make himself the greatest man in America. If he fail, the best fate his friends can wish for him will be a soldier's death at the head of his army on the field of battle. The conduct of the War Department in prohibit ing the transmission by telegraph of any information whatever respecting the movements of the army is severely commented upon. It is known that Gen. Hooker has crossed the river, and more than sus pected that a great battle has either been fought or is at this moment in progress ; but the Government would not so much as permit the mere fact of his ad vance to be telegraphed to Halifax yesterday to meet the Arabia at that port. Nothing can be more imbecile than such conduct. At the most it only succeds in keeping Europe and America in ignor ance for two or three days, though it is suggested by those amiable cynics whose maxim it is, " if you do not know the truth of a thing you ought to believe the worst," that the information is only withheld from the public to enable a few friendly speculators in Europe and America to make money on the Stock Exchange by knowledge privately communicated to them. Certainly no wise Govern ment would:act in this manner, whatever be the motives which animate it. In this instance the public do believe the worst. They think that if there were good news it would be speedily promul gated, and that whether the news be good or bad it is jobbed in Wall-street by people in the secret. Yesterday being the Fast day appointed by Mr. Lincoln for observance throughout all the States still pertaining to the Union, the people of this city fasted and humbled themselves in the manner usual in modern times, both in Protestant and Roman Catholic countries, by shutting up their shops, stoles, warehouses, and offices, and devoting them selves to recreation and hospitality. The churches were but moderately filled with devotees; the Aboli tionist clergy for once refrained from cursing their Southern enemies and advocating their extermina tion ; the streets swarmed with pleasure seekers ; the beautiful Central Park, bursting out into the full loveliness of early spring, was crowded with equipages, as well as with equestrians and pedes trians; the ladies gushed out in a magnificence of attire only seen in the drawing rooms and ballrooms of other countries, but which in this it seems to be considered good taste to display in the public thoroughfares; the theatres were crammed to suffo cation, and the lagerbier saloons and all the other drinking places with which this money-making, im pulsive, and rejoicing capital abounds concentrated into the space of one evening the ordinary business of a week. Thus did New York humble itself before the Almighty,in compliance with the wish expressed in Mr. Lincoln's proclamation. Thus did one por tion of the pious American people confess, in the worjs of the President, " their sins and transgres sions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon;" and thus did they " recognise the sublime truth an nounced in the Holy Scriptures, and proved by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord." Perhaps among the Puri tans of New England the day was observed in a manner more in accordance with the repentant humility that ought to have filled the hearts of a Christian population, if the Fast were not intended for a Feast; but certainly throughout this city, as far as outward show was concerned, the occasion was one of undisguished merriment and sensual gratification. The old pride that Mr. Lincoln re buked in the proclamation by which the Fast was appointed seemed as rampant as ever. "We have forgotten God," said the President; " we have for gotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied, enriched, and strengthened us, and have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace—too proud to pray to the God who made us." Hsd Mr. Lincoln written these words after a stroll incognito through the streets of New York yesterday and last night, he would have truly described the spirit of his people, and perhaps, being a philosopher, might have found reason to believe that the Fast was a farce, and that New York, which thrives so vigorously upon a war ex penditure, is not likely to feel the contrition which he recommends until the misery of war has been brought to its own door, and the horrors inflicted by its fleets and armies on the cities of the South shall become matters of personal experience to the gay, busy, and thoughtless crowd which has grown or is growing rich on the misery of the nation. For the last three days the " returning brave" of the Army of the Potomac, so urgently needed on the battlefields of Virginia, have run riot in the streets of this city. The 7th and Bth Regiments of New York Volunteers, mostly, if not entirely, composed of Germans, and forming part of the too notorious command of General Blenker, arrived on Tuesday, having completed their term of service, and posi tively refused to renew it, whatever inducements of indulgence any bounty money might be offered to them. They were received with shouts of welcome by the Teutonic population and all the floating crowds of the city. They expressed great dissatisfaction at the slight put upon them by the War Department, which deprived them of their alms before they were permitted to leave Washington. The New York Times states that this act on the part of the autho rities " was mean and discreditable; ono of those f stupid and uncceountable blunders which . no man sense ever falls into, and which andproves i ts the soldiers' feelings." Had the New York Tines recollected that these were the heroes whose rob beries of cow yards and hen roosts, insults to women, tors to be ignorant of human and nature eon tigu:rotek streetsle ss g o of and wanton destruction of property scandalised the nobler reeling purpose. about b o u tiin Anyone ast w at h e o o s i a . whole country a few months ago, and compelled the furious Government, for the sake of public decency, to de prive of his command the General who p er mitted, if he did not encouragp them, it might have saved its ire those same heroes in the " Bowery" drunkenness, would have praised instead of blamed the prescience of the Government that minimised in the their powers of mischief, and sent them home with feovrenain2, out firearms.

The military are responsible to the President ; and the President, in consequence of the passing of the Indemnity Act, is irresponsible, and can do as he pleases. And yet Americans say, because a portion of the press of New York is per mitted to comment pretty freely on the conduct of the administration, that Federal America is a free country ! If Federal America be contented to think so, what right has Europe to form a contrary opinion ? INDEPENDENCE OF POLAND. A crowded meeting of the inhabitants of South warke r' was held la s t even i ng a t T ay l or ' s D osi tory, St. George's-ro a d, for the purpose of petition ing Parliament in favour o f th e independence of Poland. Mr. John Lock e , M.P., one of the borough members, presided, and was supported by Mr. P. Hennessy, M.P., Sir Henry Hoare Pro fessor Birkbeck, Dr. Rendle, and m os t of the vestrymen aed parochial officers. During ti3 O proceedings Prince Czartoryski, Prince Ledie- Nue, General Count Zamoishy, and several Palish gen tlemen, just arrived horn. Paris, came J upon the platform, and were most enthusiastically cheered. The CHAIRMAN' expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing so numerous a meeting of his constituents. He considered it was the duty of all Englishmen to support the gallant Poles, and ho trusted the people of England would not rest satisfied with the Go vernment until they had compelled Russia to observe the solemn engagements she had entered into re specting Poland, by peaceable means if possible ; but if not, by all other available means. Capt. ROGERS moved, and Dr. RENDLE seconded, the first resolution, declaratory of the right of the Poles to resist by force of arms the violation of their just claims by the Russian Government. lie thought diplomacy would never work out the independence of Poland. Mr. HENNESSY, M.P., in supporting the resolu tion, said he was heartily sick of expressing idle sympathy with Poland. Ho desired to see some practical means taken to help the Poles in their gallant and gigantic struggle. Diplomacy would never do this. While they were talking and writ ing the Poles were fighting ; and until England and France were prepared if necessary to send a fleet into the Baltic and an army to Warsaw, he was afraid no good would be done. He believed that if Russia saw the Western Powers were in earnest on this point, she would, but not till then, withdraw her unholy grasp from Poland. Ho looked upon the Russian notes as so much dust thrown in the eyes of France and England, and he firmly believed that the French Emperor was prepared actively to in terpose on behalf of Pol an d— w ith England if 6110 . would ; not, without her. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was carried by acclamation. Sir 11. HoARE moved the second resolution, call ing upon the English Government to acknowledge the independence of Poland, and support that independence, if necessary, by force of arms. He entirely agreed with the spirit of the resolutions. Mr. SAZELL, a vestryman, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Conolly, Professor Birkbeck, Mr. E. 13eales, and other gentlemen, and carried amidst loud cheers. A petition to both Houses of Parliament, embody ing the principles of the above resolutions, was then adopted, and the meeting, which manifested a most warlike spirit, concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. _ Alarming Scene at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, On Wednesday night this building was the scene of consternation rarely equalled in intensity. It appears that a crowded audience had assem bled in the Music Hall to hear Collins' troupe of Christy's Minstrels. As soon as the doors were opened an escape of gas was perceptible. The large chandelier of the room was lit up, and none of the others appeared to be " turned on ;" there fore the increase of the peculiar smell common to gas escapes created a good deal of anxiety amongst those present. However, people came trooping in every minute, and only a very few cautious ones again retired. As the time for the commencement of the performance approached, the atmosphere of the room began to get quite oppressive, and the waiting audience felt somewhat alarmed. The officials were hunting about the room seeking to discover the escape; tut still the seats were kept and the number of seatholders increased. Just be foi e eight o'clock a voice was heard from one side of the room calling that the escape was there. In a few seconds more the crack of a lucifer match was heard, and a light was seen to be paused along the wall, about seven or eight feet from the floor. In stantly a great batch of flame burst forth, accom panied by a report like the discharge of a piece of ordnance. In another instant a second explosion of the same kind took place, further along and higher up the wall, a third and lesser one followed in the same diagonal track towards the roof, and then came an explosion far louder and more violent than those proceeding. This took place in a corner of the roof just under the dome, and sent down a mass of plaster, woodwork, and broken glass on to the portion of the room immediately beneath. Fortunately the heavier portion fell in the space fronting the platform, and therefore no one vas struck down. Dense volumes of smoke and dust however poured forth into the room, and either obscured or extinguished the lights in the large crystal centre chandelier. The side of the room on which the explosions took place is next to the lawn, to which access is given by lofty windows open ing to the floor. These were draped with damask curtains which caught fire after the explosions and added to the terror of the crowd. The effects of this terror bailie all descrip tion. At the first explosion shrieks and cries broke forth, and a general rush was made towards the single door by which the audience had entered. This was quickly blocked up, and lamentable results would have ensued had not some persons bad the presence of mind to open the lawn window nand cry to the people to escape that way . A large umber did so dash out of the room, heedless of the danger threatened from fire and further explosions. Others escaped by the platform door, and in a few minutes all were got out.
