This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick without the for mality of vovernors' let.er s . I t is entirely' devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is aecom pcnied by sickness . and disease, and is now of sufficient Maznitude that, .q suoport, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 5,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

Prophecies for the Two Thousand and One Thousand Guineas Stakes. but soon afterwards Gazelle took up the running to the distance, where she was joined by Welcher and Strawberry Hill, and Lava and Baliverne dropped back. At the stand Bangle joined the leading horses, and at the same time Argus the Exile came on with Welcher, and the two ran locked together, Argus the Exile maintaining a slight lead to the post, where Bradford made a rush and effected a dead heat. Gazelle was three lengths behind them, Strawberry Hill fourth, Bangle fifth, Baliverne sixth, and Lava seventh. After the dead heat Argus the Exile walked over, receiving 50 sove, and the Welshman 35 sovs, but with the und( r standing that the lot mer was to be sold ; but upon being put up no bidding was made, and he consequently remains in the possession of Mr. Hodgman.

WHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS (PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED IN THE GREAT I' XII IBITION 8 OF 1851 AND 1862), is allowed by upwards of Two H undred Medical Gentlemen to r,e the most effective nvention in the curative treatment of HERNI A. The use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its , ffeets, here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the t,ody, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the Itoe-Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease nd closeness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn luring sleep. A descriptive circular May be had, and the 'rues, which cannot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the cir umferenee of the body, two inches below the hips, being ..ent to the manufacturer, Two THOUSAND.—We must stick to our colours and stand on our old allies, Hospodar and Saccharometer, only giving preference to Hospodar on account of his steady position in the market, as the backers of Saccharometer can scarcely hope he will turn out another Diophantus. ONE THOUSAND.—We must go back to last year's form, and look for the winner in Lady Augusta or Tornado. AUGUR—Sporting Life. Two THOUSAND.—My final.choice must be as follows : Hospodar, Bst 101 b (G. Fordham), 1; Blue Mantle, Bst 101 b (H. Grimshaw), 2; Maccaroni, Bst 101 b (Challoner), 3. ONE THOUSAND.—The One Thousand Guineas, I may state, will be carried off by Tornado or Geld Dust. The following also ran :—Umpire, Brighton, Alerte, Gorse, Real Jam, Harlequin, Adventurer, and Attaman. Betting-100 to 39 each agst Bedouin and Adventurer, 8 to 1 each agat Alerte and Harlequin, 9 to 1 agst Hadding ton, 100 to 8 agst Umpire, lb to 1 agst Gorse, 20 to 1 agat Attaman, and 33 to 1 agat Canary. After one slight failure a good start was effected, Real Jam getting off with a slight lead, followed by Alerte, next the stand, and Umpire on the far side. Going round Tat tenham corner Real Jam increased her lead to 20 lengths, Umpire heading the ruck, followed by Alerte, Adventurer, and Haddington; the rest close up. At the top of the hill Real Jam fell back, and the lead was taken by Alerte, fol lowed by Umpire on the right and Adventurer on the left, Haddington lying next. As they entered the straight Umpire took up the running, and carried it on to a quarter of a mile from home, where Canary, who had been creep ing up, took a slight lead, the two being closely followed by Haddington and Bedouin to the distance. Here the last named made his effort, and between him, Canary, and Haddington a most exciting race in ensued, which was ultimately in favour of Haddington by a neck, a head only separating the second and third. Next to these were Ad venturer and Umpire, well up and so close together that it was difficult to place them; Attaman was sixth, Gorse seventh, Alerte and Harlequin following next, and Real Jam last of all. The Walton Stakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added; 2- yr-olds 6st 101 k, 3-yr-olds Bst 101 b, fillies and geldings allowed 31b; winning penalties and maiden allowances.

Golden Dust got away with a clear lead, but before get ting to the turn into the straight she gave way to Measure fur Measure, who died away below the distance. Here the favourite resumed the lead, but she was challenged after going a few strides by the Cincinnati colt, who won a splendid race by a neck. Measure for Measure was a bad third, and Howsham, beaten off, was last all the way. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS FOR THE WEEK. Miles O . pened. Receipts.

ASCOT RACES.—Great alterations and improvements are in progress for the approaching meeting; a line of 22 pri vate boxes has been erected in the Colonnade in front of the Grand Stand, capable of accommodating eight or nine per sons each, furnished with neat and comfortable chairs, all of which are engaged, with the name of the occupier painted on each door, in opera-box style. The approach is at the east end of the stand, by a flight of stone steps, quite distinct from the other entrances, with a gallery at the back of the boxes, lighted by glazed doors. The whole of the external part of the Grand Stand is being fresh painted, and, when complete, will have a very imposing appearance. Ad ditional rooms have been built in the Queen's Stand for the accommodation of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. The judge's chair has been re moved about ten yards, and is now in close proximity to the telegraph, both of which are enclosed with palisades, thereby preventing the pressure of the crowd, which has on former occasions very much impeded the officials. At the back of the telegraph a double railed passage leads to the weighing_ room and Clerk of the Course's office, the only entrance in future for trainers, Jockeys, and the press. Several im provements in the running ground have likewise been effected by Mr. C. Davies, the most important of which is the widening of the course to a considerable extent from the starting post on the New Mile. ACQUATICS. - THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD, CHAMBERS AND GREEN. The announcement that a meeting between the above men would be held at Mr. Kelley's, at Putney, last night, caused a large assembly to meet at the Bells. There was a great muster of the rowing men present, amongst whom where Robert Chambers, Harry Clasper, R. Green, Tom Royal, George Hammerton, Old John Phelps, Hayward, &c. The backers of the Newcastle man were present in great force, and, as business pr ocee d ed, had every thi ng a l most their own way. Mr. Ba gna ll was in the chair, and when the time of rowing was the mooted question, he, in a few words stated that as Green travelled from Australia he ought to have a few points waived ; therefore, the business was con cluded by the articles being signed as follows : " Articles of agreement entered into this 17th day of April, 1863, between Robert Chambers, of Newcastle -on- Tyne, and Richard A. W. Green, of Sydney, New South Wales. The said Robert Chambers agrees to row the said Richard A. W. Green a right-away race for the Cham pionship of the World and £4OO, being £2OO a-side, the race to be rowed in wager boats, over the usual course, from the Aqueduct, Putney, to a boat moored off the Ship at Mortlake. It is agreed that each man is to be ready at the starting-post at two p.m. on the ofternoon of the 16th of June next, either man being absent to forfeit all claim to the stakes. It is understood that this race is to be rowed according to the zules of boat racing for Champion races on the Thames. It is agreed that the first deposit, of £5O a-side, is to be made by each of us on the 21st instant, with the editor of the 'Sporting Life, through Mr. Salter, of the Feathers, Wandsworth; the second deposit, of £5O a side, to be made with Mr. Pankhurst, Bull's Head, Barnes, on the 7th of May ; the third deposit of £5O a side to be made with Mr. Willcox, White Hart, Barnes, on the 21st of May; and the fourth and final deposit to be made with Mr. H, Kelley, the Bells, Putney, on the 11th of June ; each deposit to be made be tween the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., at the above-named _Life to be final stake holder.tinpg failing to make the house s It thies agreed f th t a h t e Sporting arty before -mentioned deposits to forfeit the whole of the stakes down at the time of the stakes falling due, and the cutters attending the men to keep astern of the sternmost man.

LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM, CLAPTON.— The jubilee comm em oration festival of this charity took place on Wednesday evening at the Merch an t Taylor's hall, under th e p r esidency of his Royal Highne s s the Duke of Ebury, Ca Col.mbridg e. North, ili map., Mr. Alderman S a lomons, and by Highness was supported by Lord by many members of the Court of the Merchant Taylors' Company, and 271 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The ma nagers propose to celebrate the year of jubilee by admitting 100 orphans to the benfits e.f the charity during the year, and as each child remains for an average periodof six years the extra cost to the charity for maintenance and providing the increased accommodation will amount to nearly £lO,OOO. Towards this object the friends of the institution and the public subscribed on Wednesday evening the unprecedented sum of £7,600, including £920 from old scholars, and the managers seem sanguine that before long the amount re quired will be duly forthcoming. The proceedings of the evening were of the tryst enthusiastic character, and the particulars of the contributions, we understand, are to be duly advertised. • //...2 . • --, • .. . - - . : . .

The following i 3 the form which the measures announced by Mr. Gladstone on Thursday take in the official language of the Votes : The Chancellor of the Exchequer,—T , ' move the follow ing resolutions in committee of ways and means : Extensive Forgeries of Federal Notes, At the Sheffield Town-hall on Thuisday the two men charged with forging large numbers of notes of the American Treasury were again brought up. The prisoners were Edwin Hides, engraver, and Henry L;ght, a lithographic printer ; and they were charged with forging 10 dol. notes of the American Trersury to the amount of 30,000 dole.; with having feloniously in their possession the plate and the lithographic stone front which such notes had been printed ; and, thirdly, with conspirng to defraud the United States' Government by uttering such forged notes, of the various denotninaLons of 5 dole., 10 dols., and 20 dole. Mr. Sa.igh, bar rister, of Loudon, conducted the prosecution, at the instance of the American Ambassador; the pri. soners were defended by Mr. Fretson, Sheffield. The case against the prisoners may be briefly Stated as follows, as far as the prosecution has allowed it to be developed. It appears that there has been carried on in the country since the spring of 1862 a system of forging American notes on a wholesale scale. Information reached the United States'Am bassador some time ego which justified the belief that these forgeries had been carried on in Sheffield to a very serious extent. After that information was given, towards the close of last year, the matter was placed in the hands of Sergeant Spital, one of the city of London detectives, and he came down to Sheffield to prosecute his inquiries, which have led to the apprehension of the prisoners. Hides has carried on business for several years as an engraver in George-street, Sheffield, and Light was for some time in his employ as a lithographer. About a year and a half ago Light went over to Ireland, and according to his own statement, he there " dropped upon" an American (whose name, for obvious rea sons, we do not mention), and the latter suggested to him the forgery of the notes which the Federal Government were at that time beginning to issue so very liberally, and found money to purchase a lithographic press. In the spring of 1862 Light made his appearance in Sheffield, and knowing that Hides had been in difficulties, he seems to have picked him out as a man likely`to assist in carrying out his plans. Hides had formerly had in his em ploy an engraver named Southard, and Light sought him out and took him to see Hides, who told him he had a job for him. He told Southard he had a really good thing iu hand, and that if he could help him efficiently money would be no ob ject. The job turned out to be the completion of a partially engraved 10 dols. plate which Light had got from his American friend. He completed the plate, which purported to be dated " Patented, Washington, 30th of June, 1857." That being done, Light, who together with the other prisoner had constantly superintended the work, sought out a man named Wood, and they agreed with him to strike off 3,000 impressions of the plate, which was accordingly done. The necessary green tinge was given to the paper by staining it in a strong decoc tion of green tea, prepared by Light, who also stamped the consecutive numbers upon the notes in red ink. During the engraving of the plate great secresy was maintained in the shop. Hyde's appren tices, of whom there were several, were not permit ted to enter the room, and while the man Wood was engaged in the printing of the notes a particularly ingenious method of signaling was contrived be tween the confederates, only upon hearing which was he to unlock the door. The notes were of 10 dols. each, but it is known that the prisoners forged many others, varying in value from 5 dols. to 20 dole. The prisoner Hides usually sat in one of the lower rooms, level with the street, the windows being coloured over so that he could not be observed ; but a small space being left so that he could keep watch on what was going en in the street. The minute precautions he took against observation excited the curiosity of his apprentice, Fretwell, and on one occasion the latter took advantage of the absence of his master, entered the room, unlocked a drawer in which the key had been left, and found therein a steel plate. It appeared to b a bank plate, and the apprentice with great haste " pulled" three copies of it in black ink. Only one of these conies was produced, but it bore the representation of part of an American 5 dol. note, the greater part of the plate being un finished when it was taken. The 3,000 notes were partly printed and partly engraved, the litho graphing being done at the residence of Light. A peculiar "holder" was used for the purpose of stamp ing the consecutive numbers upon the notes, and this was found to have been made from a pattern supplied by Hides, and it was found in the box of the prisoner Light. It seems that when Southard was engaged he did not suspect the matter was anything out of the ordinary way ; but while he was engaged on the plate he saw the prisoner Light practising copying the signature of the United States Trea surer on the genuine note which he (Southard) was copying on the copper plate. He then said he sus pected the plate was to print forged notes from. but he was told to keep quiet, and that would be all right. The witness Wood was told soon after he began to print the notes that they were forgeries, but he was also told that he would be all right. However, he gave information to the American consul in Liverpool, and also the consular agents in Sheffield, but they allowed the matter to go on until it was ripe for judicial investigation. The notes when completed were sent off by post by 1 ight. A remark was made on one occasion by the clerk that the parcel ought to be left open at both ends, but Light said to the man Wood that he "should be a fool to do that, because they would see what was inside them." The impressions were carefully erased from the plate and the stone. Several forged 10 dol. notes were produced, and were proved to be for geries by B. M. Stevenson, United States consular agent in Sheffield. A remand was granted, after an investigation extending over four hours, to the 9th May, when it is probable other persons will be ap prehended.

Two THOUSAND.—I shall, therefore, adhere to my first impressions, that Hospodar will be the first French horse that has won the Two Thousand Guineas, and next to his number I fancy will be discovered that of Blue Mantle. ONE THOUSAND.—Those who will take the Calendar in their hands will at once see the claims of Tornado are too important not to give her precedence over the others. I shall, therefore, expect to find her the winner, and the se cond honours divided between Amelia and Lady Augusta. BEACON—Sporting Gazette. Two THousAND.—I expect to see Hospodar win, and trusting to this year's public form that Macaroni and the Physalis colt will occupy the two next places. ONE THOUSAND.—Tornado and L idy Augusta per formed equally well last year, and as the fcrmer, who is own sister to Avalanche and Hurricane, is the best bred to stay, I give the preference to Tornado. RHYMING RICHARD Sporting Gazette. Fast to the front with slashing stride Comes on the Frenchman's "crack," Small chance to snap him on the post With Fordham on his back I Though Maccaroni struggles on, The race is fairly done, Just as he likes he leaves them all, And Hospodar has won FLY-BY-NlGHT— Weekly Tones. Two THOUSAND.—This trio will share between them the rewards distributable by the judge, who may possibly be called upon to place them in the follow ing order :—Hospodar, 1; Blue Mantle, 2 ; Rapid Rhone, 3. But it must be distinctly understood that I have no hesitation in awarding the premiership to the Frenchman. ONE THOUSAND.—SO much uncertainty is attached to fillies at this season of the year, that it will suffice to elect three to defy all corners in the One Thousand Guinea Stakes, namely, Amelia, Lady Augusta, and Tornado, and, as I remarked on the 3d of January, " I infinitely prefer Lady Augusta to any other of the list of five trained by Jos. Dawson, who, it must be universally acknowledged, was the best of her year." VATICINATOR—Sunday Times, Two THOUSAND.—It only remains for us to summarise our impressions, which we shall do thus :—Hospodar, 1; Saccharometer, 2; Blue Mantle, 3. ONE THOUSAND.—Tornado and Lady Augusta have figured the most respectably in public, whilst we hear a favourable account of the improvement worked in Lord Glasgow's unnamed filly. We, therefore, make our elec tion as follows :—Tornado, 1; Lady Augusta, 2; Brown Bess filly, 3. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING, FRIDAY. In spite of the continued fine weather the attendance to day was not equal to that which was attracted by the City and Suburban yesterday. Still a goodly crowd mustered on the stands and at the cords, and we need scarcely say that the " ring" was composed of the identical members who attended before. In the evening Adventurer had changed owners, Mr. Crook, of Manchester, investing 1,900 soya upon him, which had the effect of sending him back slightly in the betting, Bedouin starting an equal favourite with him. It is rather remarkable that he and Umpire should have finished exactly in the same relative places as they occupied yesterday, and that the extra distance should have affected both in the same degree, as the Ame rican horse is well known to be averse to a distance of ground. Curiously enoug ti, not a single three -3r-old came to the post, the runners being confined to two five-yr. olds and eight four-yr-olds. Alerte, who had crossed the Channel from France during the early part of the week, was a good deal fanoied, from ber easy victory at Paris last Sunday, but her fighting style of going did not take our fancy for so trying a course, and the event proved that her staying powers were not " equal to the occasion." The winner was not backed by his owner to any amount ; and, indeed, little money was lost about him, " the ring" thus recovering some portion of their losses upon Adventurer yesterday. No general interest attached to any of the other events, and Molly Carew not being pulled out for the Wal.. ton Stakes the horses engaged were all quite of a second class. The Waterloo Plate of 50 sovs, added to a handicap sweep stakes of 5 sovs each, for all ages ; winners 51b extra. Three-quarters of a mile.

A long delay occurred at the post, and in one of the at tempts Warrener ran to the stand before he could be stopped. At length the flag fell, and on coming in sight Colleen Rhue had a slight lead, with Libellous and Necro mancer abreast, close up, B:sh and Warrener being a long way behind. Below the distance Libelous took the lead, and he was joined by Bosh opposite the star d, Colleen Rbue lying third. Between the two stands Necromancer and Bosh both passed the Irish mare, the race being con fined to these four, Libellous going in an easy winner by a length ; Bosh a bad third. The New Two-year-old Stakes of 10 soya eacb, with 50 added; for 2-yr-olds; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b. Winners extra. Three quarters of a mile. 19 subs.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Ackworth, 7to 2 (at first 2to 1) agst Pegasus, 5 to 1 agst the Phemy filly, and 6 to 1 agst Sister to Wing. A capital start brought the whole seven horses into view close together, Sister to Wing making play, with Phemy, Starbeam, Lady Maud, and Ackworth following, in the order named, round the tarn. At Tattenham-corner Lady Maud went in front, Sister to Wing and the Phemy filly lying next on the lower side, with the favourite close up. Here the latter, who was unable to act from the hardness of the ground,ran out, losing two or three lengths, his example being followed by Starbeam, and leaving the three leading horses to come on by themselves, Lady Maud still holding the first place, with the Phemy filly and Sister to Wing in close attendance on the lower side, Ackworth and Pegasus following in the middle of the course. At the distance Pegasus retired beaten, and soon afterwards, Lady Maud giving way, the Phemy filly and Sister to Wing came on together to the stand, where Daley, with a ffne display of riding, got a sight lead, and went in a clever winner by three-quarters of a length ; four lengths between the second and third. Pegasus was a length from Ackworth, Star beam filth, and Lady Maud sixth. The Balailava Stakes of 5 sous each, with 30 added, for 2-yr•olds and upwards. Weights for age, with selling allowances.

The cash statement for the current week shows a total general balance of £100,671 12s. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. SAVAGE brought up a report from the Gene ral Works Committee, recommending (among other things) that the board should contribute the sum of £1,625 towards widening the BL ompton-road from Knightsbridge to the Bell and Horns at South Kensington. The committee also recommend that the sum of £2OB 6s. Bd. should be contributed by the board for setting back the houses Noe. 148 to 151, in Upper Thames-street. The committee de clined to recommend the contribution of £9B 18s., asked for by the city of London, towards the cost of setting back No. 5, next Rutland-wharf, Little Carter-lane. The report, after a short discussion, was agreed to. THE PROPOSED METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. Mr. BA ZALGETTE, the chief engineer, in continua tion of his report of the 24th of March I.st, stated that he had not attempted to enter upon the merits of the different railway schemes, but had confined his attention to the (Met of the works of construc tion upon the metropolitan thoroughfares, thinkingt it better (however objectionable some of them nictligh be be) that the facts connected with them sh laid before the Parliamentary committeeso°ruontubledr authorities by whom the var ious schemes would have to be investigated.

ATTEMFT To BURN DOWN THE WORKHOUSE OF GEORGE'S EAST.—Last evening, during ST. , the sitting of the board of guardians of the above par l i g sh alarm of fire was raised, and it was discovered that a por tion of the wo rkhouse was in flames, The vagrant w ar d was entirely destroyed. The incendiary, who was seen to ignite the straw with a lucifer match, was a girl named Elizabeth Henley, who had frequently been an inmate of the workhouse, and bore a very bad character. On being t a ken into custody s h e fully and impudently avowed her malicious intention, and so tar f rom expressing any con trition, appeared to glory in her horrible attempt. THE SUEZ CANAL.

MANCHESTER, April 17.—1 n yarns ktere . r . an extensive business doing throughout . the weAt. Prices have advanced daily, and the market closes ,-1,-d. per lb. higher than on Tuesday. The business td-day has been very large for all kinds of yarn for India, at the extreme advance. There has also been a fair inquiry for China, which has resulted in some little business in twists suited for that mar ket. Buyers for the Levant trade have also been in the market, at extreme prices. Home trade buyers have competed pretty freely during the whole week, and the advance on yarns suitable to this branch has been fully id, per lb. Tho buyers for Germany have, as usual, acted with much caution. This class of buyers seems to be almost out of the market—a circumstance which has ben remarked with some surprise. There are telegrams to the 30th of March from Cl l cuttn. quo ting no change. The market w:ls strong and ac ti N a e A telegram is also reported to the 31st of March gao•ing the market quiter, in cons«incuce of the high prices demanded by hold: rs. In cloth there is still a good deal of irquiry for India, and very full prices are (it:nal:dud. Daring the week a very large business 11.,:; been done in mulls and jae conets, light shirtil , gs, and long cloths. To-day there is less business doing, especially in shirtings and long cloths, which is owing to shippers having in many cases completed their orders, as well as to the bareness of the market in fabrics of this kind suitable to India. With the slackening in the de mand, however, there is not the slightest giving way in prices, and buyers having to make pur chases have found that they must give the extreme rates asked on Tuesday. The buyers for other markets do not respond, and the demand has been mainly for India. The high prices check business for the home trade, and T-cloth 3 and printers are not in much request, but prices are firm. CARDIFF, April 16.—The coal merchants are better supplied with orders than has been the case for a long time. The market quotations are firmly maintained, but there has been no actual advance in prices. The iron trade is moderately active. Con tinental orders are principally in hand at present. There is no change to report in quotations. NOTTINGHAM, April 17.—A better feeling pre vailed in the market to-day. There was a numer ous attendance of manufacturers at this Exchange hall, and sales in lace yarns were effected more readily, medium numbers being quoted ld. to 2d. per lb. higher. Hosiery yarns were also held at an advance, but the amount of business done was limited. Silks of all kinds were firm at late prices. In brown nets there was not much doing. An opinion prevails that if makers would take less money for fine sorts a speculative demand would spring up; but this they cannot do, as these nets are now selling at less than prime cost ; coarse nets have still a tendency to give way. '_-/ - y %~<t. The Explosion of a Powder Mill at Ewell. EWELL, Friday, Noon. This morning Mr. Wm. Carter, coroner for the eastern division of the county of Surrey, opened an investigation at the Queen Adelaide Inn, Kingston road, upon the bodies, or rather the remains of the bodies, of the three unfortunate men who lost their lives at the frightful explosion which took place on Wednesday morning last at the gunpowder mills carried on by the firm of Messrs. Sharpe, Adams, and Co., situated about a mile and a half distance from Ewell, on the road to Kingston. The explosion, it may be remembered, occurred about 6 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, very shortly after the men had commenced work, and from the fact that the corning-mill house, where the explosion took place, having been completely blown to pieces, it was for some time deemed im possible even to conjecture the cause of the disaster. A careful and minute search has, however, re sulted, it is stated, in a portion of one of the copper shamps, or glazing barrels, being found at some very considerable distance from the premises that were destroyed, and as the hung was found in its place, it furnished abundant evidence that the work of unloading, in which the men would have had to be engaged at that part, of the premises, could not have been completed when the sad fatality happened. These shamps or glazing barrels contain from a hundred weight to a hundred weight and a half, but it is not clearly ascertainable upon any reliable authority how many sbamps there were, or what gunpowthr there was in the mill. Of course these facts will be elicited before the conclusion of the inquiry. The Coroner having sworn the jury, with Mr. R. Henderson as foreman, the learned gentleman said he had only one observation to make in the matter of the inquiry. He was fully aware that they were all neighbours and lived in the parish, and they must understand that they were met to inquire into the cause of the explosion that was said to have taken place. It would be their duty to listen care fully and patiently to all the evidence, lest there should be any criminality chargeable to any one; of course it was quite impossible for him as coroner to say what might arise in the course of the inquiry, but it would be the most convenient course for him (the coroner) to put such questions as he thought necessary, and then the jury or the professional gentlemen, if any were present, could ask what they pleased with a view to elicit the facts of the sad catastrophe. He proposed that they should view the ruins of the place and the remains of the bodies, and get them identified as far as possible, whioh might, as he understood, be thoroughly done, as far as far as one of them was concerned. Ifffatraraaeksr:possible The jury then proceeded, accompanied by the coroner, to view the ruins of the mill, or, as should rather be stated, the charred and blackened ground on which it formerly stood, for not a vestige remains. On inspecting the premises it certainly appeared that every precaution had been adopted that human ingenuity could devise to prevent even the possi bility of an accident. The corning mill was far removed from all other works, and a large pond (the d best nonconductor) separated it from a thick wood which intervened between it and other bufilvii.ewg.

There was no poor old man had beaeinnsf difficulty in identifying him, as his features were quite perfeot. Dr. Barrett, of Ewell, who was attracted to the spot by hearing the explosion, has, since the finding of the bodies superintended the painful work of putting the fragments together in as near a complete form as possible. It may be added that fragments of fingers and toes are being found all about the place.
