ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The opinion i heavy consignments s now very prevalent that some y consignments of gold will leave this country d uring the p resent week, and the probable renewa l of the late efflux is causing much uneasiness in il '?oetaty c i rcles. In fact, should any large withd rawal be eff ec t e d f rom th e Bank to day, t is expecte d that the di rectors w ill at thei r meeting to - morrow further enhance their official minimum quotation. Under these ei re'xcnstan ces , i t i s no won d er th a t the bill t u rok ere care little for fresh business, and refuse all , lle g ( diations in mercantile paper, unless it be short 'ate d. A similar uncertainty prevails in all the eipal continental cities, but there the unfavour able feeling has been engendered by causes quite ° plH to that occasioned in this country. Trade is scund and healthy, and the only fear is that the precious metals expected from this country on too large a scale may be dEtremental to our in ter( About 15,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. i'he Etna, from New York, has arrived with £2 3,000. I n the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon a fur Cher advance took place. Nu) directors of the Trust and Loan Company of 15 , ?p0r Canada, in their report to the proprietors for the half-year to the 30th September last, state that the net profits during that period amount to XI 1,804 2s. 5d., which, added to the sum brought fore ward from March, gives a balance at credit of rev Dime of £14,874 Os. Bd. Oat of this balance a dividend at the rate of 8a per cent. per annum, less i nco , me•tax, is recommended on the paid•up capital abaci: of the company; that one-half of the surplus Profi is over 6 per cent. per annum, and the tsu al charge for interest, amounting to get her to £14,084 Bs. Bd., be carried to the rc.'Eu )rve fund, in accordance with the provisions of the Royal Charter of Incorporation; and that £250 be applied to the redemption of preliminary ex periees, There will then remain the sum of £227 11E 4 to the credit of the next half-year's accounts. During the period embraced by these accounts the reserve fund has been charged with the sum o £613 12s. 6d. for losses on realization of securities in default, and the amount standing to the credit of this fund, after adding the £4,084 Bs. 8d above ref erred to, will be £51,742 15s. ld. Two O'CK. At the Paris B ourse thi s day, according t O o Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 05c. Flat. The unfavourable feeling regarding the future of monetary relations has prejudicially affected the Stock Exchange markets, whose appearance to-day is much depressed. The English Funds have fur ther receded 1- per cent. in audition to the decline of last evening, and Consols are consequently quoted 92 Z 1 for money, and 911 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced An nuities are 901 ; the New 21 per Cents., 76 ; the 30 Years' Annuities, 141; and the Exchequer Bills die: India Stock is firm at 223 ; the 5 per Cent. loan at 108;1 ; the 4 per Cent. do., at 100 Q; and the Enfaced R i per Cent., 114 '. A further general decline has taken place in the Fo reign Market this morning upon a pressure of specu lative sales, and business is dull.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Pigott.) TIIE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. SILLIAN AND OTHERS,..-THE SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Sir Hugh Cairns continued his argument against the rule, with a view to maintaining that the finding of the jury at the trial should stand. Ho said the question he was cun sidering at the adjournment yesterday was whether, sup posing you could show any point of evidence that there was being built in this country a ship wholly unarmed and wholly unequipped, that it could be proved that there was an arma ment prepared, and made ready for that ship (the armament being at the time stored up in some repository)and:if at the same time you had conclusive and distinct evidence that there wasjno intention to put that equipment on board in this country, but, on the contrary, the intention was to put it on board out of the Queen's dominions,—whether that could be an equipment, furnishing, or fitting out ? That was the question put by Mr. Baron Bramwell in the way of sug gestion. The learned counsel contended, that if it were Intended to ship the armament on the high sea outside the neutral port, it was an attempt to arm, and did not come within the grasp of the Act, not even if it were clearly proved that the intention was to ship the arma ment. The learned counsel then referred to the cases of the Oreto and the Alabama. Both ships were built at Liverpool, both left our shores without proceedings having been taken against them. No proceedings were taken against the Oreto until she arrived at Nassau, and there the case was brought before the Vice-Admiralty Court there. The gravamen of the charge was that she took in munitions of war while in the waters of Nassau. The Oreto was tried and acquitted. Clearly the view taken by those who took proceedings against the ship was that short of something that could be considered a warlike proceeding they could not take proceedings against the ship. The Alabama case is exactly similar in respect to its building. It was not till the Alabama reached the Azores that she received her stoles, her captain, or her papers and hoisted the Con federate flag. It was not until after she had parted from our shores that she became a ship of war. The case against the Oreto broke down because there was an absence of evidence of warlike equipment, The present Attorney- General, in a speech during the last session of Parliament, admitted that though there were grounds of suspicion against the Oreto, there was an absence of that kind of equipment which would have justified her seizure. The law advisers of the Crown considered that something must be done in the shape of armament before proceedings could be taken. Mr. Huskisson said that was a combi nation of ship and armament that constituted the offence. The learned counsel then said he would consider the evidence heard in the case of the Alexandra—the actual evidence in the case, about the condition of the ship, not with respect to the intent, but with respect to the condition of the ship. Having read the evi dence, he intended commenting on it; he said that the questions arising on the evidence resolved themselves into very simple elements. The question of a hull, he appre hended, was altogether placed on ono side. There was no suggestion that there was anything in preparation which was not on board, except that a part of the machinery which might have been required to complete the whole machinery of the ship was in course of preparation. He contended that nothing in the ship at the time was an equipment of any kind. Machinery, masts, and hammock nettings, which were on board, could not be called an equipment--they were common to all ships. An attempt had been made to prove that guns were in preparation for the ship. He pro ceeded to read the evidence given at the trial in support of the point; after which he contended that there was not a scintilla of evidence there connecting the guns (spoken of as in course of preparation) with the Alexandra. Baron Bramwell—What is your intention in this argu ment?—that there was no evidence to go to the jury. Sir Hugh Cairns--I say there was no evidence at all con necting these guns with the ship. Baron Bramwell—Could these defendants be called to give evidence ? The Attorney-General—No doubt they could. Baron Bramwell—l am very glad to hear you say that, Mr. Attorney-General. The Attorney-General--That is my impression. I mean to say that we have never entertained a doubt on the question. The Lord Chief Baron, after some consideration and con sultation on the bench, said that there was a diff.rence of opinion on the question. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ROOKER V. ROOKER AND NEWTON. This was a suit by the Rev. William Yates Hooker for divorce from his wife (who entered no appearance), on the ground of her adultery i with Henry Skipmore Newton. . . The petitioner, who was in orders, married the respondent in Virginia, where he, was officiating in 1842. After co habiting till 1862, Curing which period there were four children, a separation took place in this country, in conse quence of the intemperance of his wifa, and the connection between her and the co-respondent was then formed. A letter from the respondent to the Rev. James Rooker, brother of the petitioner, in which she admitted her guilt, stating that she had been taken advantage of while under the influence of drink, and inclosing a letter to her husband entreating forgiveness, was read as a confession of guilt. The Rev. James Rooker said he was incumbent of Lower Gornill, in Staffordshire, and a magistrate. His brother, the petitioner, Ind a cure at Christchurch, Winchester, Virginia, and afterwards at St. Paul's, Louisville, K en tucky. His brother returned to England in 1853, and he and his wife lived for some time in Mornington-crescent. Mrs. Rooker was constantly drunk. She went back to America in 1561, but on the breaking out of the war she returned to England; but from her intemperate habits it was arranged that she should leave her husband and come to his neighbourhood. She lived in his house for some time, but eventually she occupied a cottage near it. She had an advance from her husband, which was paid re gularly. About the end of 1862 he heard rumours in the parish, which induced him to have her residence watched. The result was that the co-respondent, who was leader of his church choir and superintendent of the Sunday school, was in the habit of cons t an tl y v i s i t i ng t h e respon d en t an d taking supper there. In January, 1863, he (witness) visited Mrs. Hook er ' s h ouse unexpectedly, and there found the re spondent and ait after co-respondent that enjoyingthe present proceedings were andimmediately instituted. Mr. Staveley Hill took an objection to the legality of the marriage in Virgini a , an d the identity of the two persons (the petitioner and respondent) mentioned in the certificate. Mary Bates said she lived at Lower Gornill, and knew gra. William Rooker. On the 31st of December, 1862, she saw Mr. Newton in her house. He came in while she (witness) was there. Some other persons came in with him. They had been practicing singing for a tea party that was to take place the next day. Mr. Newton did not leave when the other parties did, because Mrs. Rooker took his hat off and put it over her own head. When he was going he asked Mrs. Rooker for his hat, but she said she had a word or two to say to him before he left. Mrs. Rooker ordered her (witness) to leave the room, but she refused at first, saying she should not go till Mr. Newton did, because he had got a wife. Mrs. Rooker got up her temper, and then she thought she had better go out. She went home and got her shawl, and then went round to the window of the house, and after listening some time, she heard Mr. Newton and Mrs. Rooker kissing and very comfortable together. (Laughter.) She could not hear what they were talking about, but they were very comfortable, that was certain. (Laughter.) The counsel for the respondent said he should not further resist the petition, and, therefore, as far as he was con cerned, there was an end of the case. The Judge-Ordinary said he considered the allegations had been substantiated, and therefore he was satisfied adultery had been committed ; but he would consider whether the evidence was sufficient to prove the marriage. regard to the rights of others. llera the bankrupt was present. and was entitled to be heard. He (his Honour) thought that in all cases where learned counsel could nor, attend they ought to hand over their brief to some other gentleman at the bar. In this case nothing appeared in the procee lings to show any ground for opposing the bankrupt passing his examination, as the official assignee reported that the accounts were verified by the books. Mr. Bazley said he knew nothing of the facts. His Honour said the bankrupt would pass his examina tion, and perhaps Mr. Preston would consent that the dis charge should stand. It was ultimately arranged Cie question of discharge should stand over for a week. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulb-arn.) ItELEASES. His Honour said that there were three cases for release before him in this court, and in neither of which had the rule of court been complied with for filing the affidavit of service of notice with the registrar ; and the cases ought to be struck out, and they would on future occasions. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) ROBERTS Y. WILSON.-lIER MAJESTY'S PROCLAMATION AGAINST SMOKING. This was an action to recover damages for the breakage of a certain pipe belonging to plaintiff. Plaintiff said that some time ago a friend in Aberdeen presented him with a very handsome pipe, and he had smoked it. Thinking it would look all the better for a mounting, he intrusted it to defendant, who broke it all to pieces. His Honour—Well, defendant 'did you bre a k thi s pip e ? Defendant—l cou ld not help it. I put a pi ece o f s il ver on it, and was just wiping it when it fell all to atoms. Plaintiff—lt was worth quite 128. Defendant—l can only say that I showed it to a person who knew all about pipes, and he said it was not worth more than 3s, His Honour—Well, I shall award plaintiff Is. Verdict for is. As the parties were leaving the box his Honour said — Don't you know that the Queen has forbidden smoking in Windsor Castle? I suppose after this the young men who are now so fond of it will be giving it up." POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARL BOROUGH-STREET. STABBING A LICENSED VICTUrALLER.—WM. zones, a baker, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stabbing Mr. Arthur Thos. Groom, landlord of the Angel, High -street, St. Giles's. The prisoner, it appears, went into the house of the pro secutor last night and greatly annoyed the customers. Mr. Groom put the prisoner out of his house, and while doing so felt himself stabbed in the arm—the wound having been inflicted with a pair of scissors. Mr. Groom then gave the the prisoner into the custody of John Wright, 82 E, who said the prisoner, after he had been in custody, said " I'll do for the -- yet." Prisoner said that Mr. Groom kicked him in the stomach. He hoped the magistrate would deal mercifully with him. Mr. Groom also asked that the prisoner might be leniently dealt with. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for a month, with hard labour, stating that but for the recommendation to mercy from the prosecutor ho should have committed the prisoner for two months. SELLING FIREWORKS WITHOUT A LICENSE,—WiIIiam Wilson, of 74, Bolsover.street, attended to answer the com plaint of Inspector Garforth, of the E division, of selling fireworks without a license, contrary to the 231 and 24th Vie., cap. 139, sec. 8, which enacts that any person selling fireworks without a license shall, for every such offence, forfeit any sum not exceeding £5. The case having been proved by Chapple, 46 E, The defendant said he was not aware that a license was required for the sale of a few small fireworks to boys. Mr. Yardley said the defendant ought to have informed himself of the fact that a license was requited, and fined the defendant 10s. and costs. COMUITTED WITHOUT A FINE.—A NARROW ESCAPE. —William Street, a man who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Yardley with assaulting Mr. Charles Reuben Smith, landlord of the King and Prince of Wales Tavern, Brick-street, Piccadilly, and also with wilfully d amaging a spirit c as k. _ _ Mr. Smith said about 10 o'clock the previous night the prisoner came into his house and made use of vile language towards his (prisoner's) two brothers. He told the prisoner to desist, when he seized up a large metal water jug and flung it at him, but fortunately it missed him, and such was the violence with which it was hurled that it broke a spirit cask. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner what he had to say. Prisoner said he was drunk. _ _ Mr. Smith said the prisoner told him that if he had hit him where he intended, he would have smashed his head, and that when he came out of prison he would "do for him." He knew the prisoner as a man that never worked, Prisoner again said lie was drunk at the time. Mr. Yardley said that was no excuse, as he might have killed the complainant. Carl, 35 C, said in taking the prisoner into custody, he said if he had hit the complainant where he intended, he would not have been there to charge him. Mr. Yardley said it was a fortunate thing the prisoner had not killed the complainant. The prisoner was then committed for two months, with hard labour. THAMES. BREAKING A WOMAN'S ARM._Mary Leary, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting Mary M'Grath, an elderly woman, whose right arm was in a splint. Both women are natives of Ireland and next-door neigh bours. They had quarrelled on Wednesday last in conse quence of Mrs. M'Cirath refusing to take care of some goods for a countrywoman, and putting them into the street. Mrs. Leary said she would have satisfaction, and on meeting her neighbour next day in St. Anne's-lane, Limehouse, she gave her a push and knocked her down. The old woman fell on her arm and sustained a compound fracture. She has been under medical treatment ever since, and is not likely to recover the use of her arm for a long time. Eliza Smith, living in the same house as the complainant, was coming down the street, and saw Mrs. M'Grath fall. Mrs. Leary ran away, and she heard her exclaim " I have had satisfaction." , Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, who defended the prisoner, said the prisoner was passing along the street where both women lived with a large basket on her arm, and acciden tally pushed against the complainant, who was carrying a can of milk. The complainant was about to strike the prisoner with the can, and to save herself from the intended blow she pushed the old woman away from her, and she fell down. He was instructed the old woman was subject to fits. He was unable to call any witnesses. Mr. Woolrych, who took great pains in eliciting the truth and closely interrogated the witnesses, said he was quite satisfied of the truth of the complainant's statement. The prisoner said she would have satisfaction on Wednes day, and meeting with the old woman, pushed her down and broke her arm. He did not believe that the prisoner intended to break the woman's arm. If he believed she had any such intention he would have committed her for trial. He must however punish the prisoner with some considerable severity, for she was answerable for the injury she had done, though she did not intend to break the old woman's arm. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour.

President Jefferson Davis has made a speech at Mobile, reminding the troops that they were not common soldiers, but the best population of the country poured into the army, and he appealed to them from other incentives than military discipline.

This was an undefended suite instituted by Susannah Turner for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and bigamy. Froth the evidence it appeared that the respondent was a farmer, and the marriage was solemnised at Sion Chapel, Yorkshire, in 1852, after which the parties went to reside at Leeds. They lived together till 1856, when he sold the furniture and went to America, leaving the petitioner en tirely dependent upon her relations and friends for relief. The petitioner heard nothing frona the respondent till 1858, when she received two letters from him, in the latter of which he asked her to come to him in America. She wrote to him informing him that she was without the means, and after that all correspondence ceased. In 1860 he married a female, named Catherine Crouch, with whom ho had been living with ever since. The case was ordered to stand over for further proof of the second marriage, --- COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr, Commissioner Holroyd.) RE LATHEURY-ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. This bankrupt was described as a cattle dealer, of Kentish town, and this was a meeting for last examination and dis charge. Mr. Preston appeared for the bankrupt, and it was stated that there was an opposition, but Mr. Sargood, who had been retained for the opposing creditor, was engaged before the Lords Justices on an appeal case, and an adjournment was asked. Mr, Preston opposed the application, on the ground that it would be a hardship on the bankrupt to postpone the case because the other side were not prepared. Ills Honour said that no doubt the rule was to go on, but, as Mr. Sargood was unavoidably absent, perhaps Mr. Preston would consent to the case standing over, • Mr. Preston said he was desirous of showing every courtesy to counsel, but he could not do so to the disadvan tage of his client. Mr. Bazley soon after appeared for Mr. Sargood, and pressed for the adjournment, and said that, in all the supe • rior courts where counsel were absent, on an appeal from that court it invariably postponed a case. His Honour said that ha was at all times anxious for the convenience of counsel, but he could not do so without BRETET. Capt.

The proceedings were resumed this morning, all the members of the Court being present. Lieutenant and Adjutant Fitzsimons recalled and asked by Colonel Pipon, officiating judge-advocate :-- Do you remember the date when the first order was given for the sentry to be posted inside the quarters of Sergeant Major Lillcy ? Lieutenant Fitzsimons—l cannot remember, but I think it must have been before the sth of May, because a non commissioned officer was tried that day for having posted a sentry outside instead of inside the bungalow, Colonel Crawley, in reply to the President, said that he would cross-examine the witnesses in the order in which they had made their statements. He would respectfully ask the Court that he might be furnished with copies of the statements made before the deputy judge advocate general at Mhow, by order of Sir Hugh Rose, the Commander in Chief in India. The President replied that the Court had no such docu ments, nor did they know of their existence, and Sir A. Horsford, on the part of the prosecution, said they had not any knowledge that there were any. There had been several soldiers examined with a view tl ascertaining who knew anything, but ultimately Sir Hugh Rose decided to send over every one who knew anything at all of the matter. Even had they existed as documentary evidence, as the prosecutor did not intend to use it, therefore the prisoner ought not to use it either. He would say that the inquiries which were set on foot had reference to any evi dence that could be produced, either for the prosecution or for the prisoner. Major Champion, recalled and cross-examined by Colonel Crawley—l am unable to speak to both the bungalows in which Sergeant Major Lilley was confined. The first one was full and ample, and far larger than usually allotted to sergeants in India. It was originally built as a staff ser geant's quarters. The large room was at feet by 16, the two inner 14 by 10, and the two roar about 10 feet square. The building stood on the parade ground, and there is a veran dah in front. The entry was from the verandah into the large room by two doors. The large room had a roof of masonry, vaulted and shielded by a temporary mass roof. The inner bedrooms were roofed in the same manner, the inner wall dividing the two , rooms with a door and doorway in the centre. The rear of each of these rooms led into a small apartment used as bath room. Those apartments are ventilated by windows on the north and south side. The model produced is on the scale of 1 inch to 2 feet, and the thickness of the masonry walls accurately represented on the same scale being 2 feet fully. To the best of my belief Sergeant Major Lilley bad at the time of his first confinement free access to 5 rooms and a verandah. They were the same he occupied before his arrest. It is not a correct description of the first bungalow in which Ser geant Major Lilley was confined that it was a bombproof building that has since been pulled dawn as being unfit for troops. It is not a true account of the state of things that the first bungalow was more like an oven than a human habitation. The first bungaloNd was not like the black hole of Calcutta, or the hold of a slave ship. Captain Day, with his wife and children and a staff of servants, occupied similar quarters for several months. The counterpart of tho bungalow is now the female hospital for the 6th Dra goons. Sergeant Major Lilley was removed to the second bungalow on or about the 12th of May, 1862. The second bungalow was similar to those occupied by the married men in the 6th Dragoons, but it had on that point an advantage over many of them, being at the end of a range of barracks, and had therefore a verandah on two sides of the room instead of on one, which the central barrack quarters had not. The second bungalow is constructed on the same scale as the other model, and represents a portion of a long range of bat racks at Mhow, in which thejnniskilling Dragoons have quarters. On the south side is a glass door and two glass windows leading into a room 23 feet by 14. The only other outlet to that floor leads into a smaller room on the east side 7 feet by 14, out of which room is a doorway leading into the east verandah. Those two rooms were roofed by double tiles, with a ventilator, and the verandah is roofed with single tiles. The height of the walls on the south side was about 121 feet, and of the north wall about 18 feet. The walls are masonry. Beyond the north wall is a passage about 6 feet wide, and beyond that again are quarters not represented on the model, but which aro shown on the plan. The bungalow which I have just described is the ono in which Sergeant Major Lilley died. The verandah on the south and east side is fifteen feet wide, there being a communication right through, and into which verandah the glass doors open. I believe Sergeant Major Lilley had access to the room and verandah during the latter part of his confinement in the second bungalow, but I never visited him. When I was there similar quarters were occupied by soldiers and sergea n t s. The second bungalow was not bomb proof. There was a ceiling cloth to the roof about the hei g ht of 12 / feet from the ground.

Ile recollected the first bungalow being pulled down. He knew that a correspondence took place between Colonel Crawley and the authorities with regard to Lilley's quarters. He brought it home from India and handed it to the Adjutant-General of the Forces. Colonel Crawley said he now asked the prosecutor to produce the correspondence, or to allow a witness to verify the copies which he had in his possession. The Fresident—What is the object of the application Colonel Crawley—My object is to prow tehaant I t amade la'or every endeavour in my powe r, when . sr t go inr o c ur e Lilley's quarters were taken awa y froni h, p him as good, or better quarter s than he beenhadposses sion of, I gave official notice for the production of that correspondence some time since. Sir A. Horsford said that the prosecution would prove the case in the regular manner, using such evidence as might be thought necessary. No objection would be made to the prisoner putting in the documents in his own defence. He (Sir A. lioraford):said he could not tell at present whe ther they were in his possession, but the prisoner mi g ht obtain them on application to the Adjutant General. Colonel Crawley said he had to appeal to the protection of the Court in this matter. The prosecution had opened e else, of gross cruelty against him, part of which consisted in'placing Sergeant Major Lilley in the room in which he died, The documents for which he asked would entirely disprove the case of the prosecution. The authorities had these documents in their possession, and ought to produce them. He had copies with them, and the witness could verify them, The President said he hardly thought they should be called for at this stage,but the court would r e ti re to consi der rho quest i on. Sir On A. ret urn of the court, ad. llorsford sa id that he had taken advantage of the Journm en t of the court to inquire whether the documents in question were in the hands of the prosecution, and he had found that they were.

Charles Tenneut and Co., St. Rollox, Glasgow. The portion of the establishment in which the accident occurred is an extensive shed-like building where the maganes© recovery process is carried on. A good deal of machinery seems to be employed in this portion of the works, and the engine which affords the necessary power is supplied with steam from a set of boilers placed, not as is often the case, in the open air, but within the building. The boilers, which are five in number, have, we believe, been in use about three years, and certainly, to judge by appearances, they seem to be of the most substantial construction. At the time when the accident occurred only three of the boilers were in use. It was about a quarter to four o'cicck when the men employed about the works and the people in the imme diate neighbourhood were startled by a pretty loud report, and presently those in the imme diate vicinity of the boiler found themselves enveloped in clouds of steam and exposed to streams or plashes of scalding water. When the panic occasioned by the catastrophe had par tially subsided, and the steam had begun to clear away, the nature of the accident became apparent. It was discovered that the boiler had been lifted bodily a foot or two from its bed, and bad settled down again on the ruins of the brickwork which had enclosed it. The brickwork at both ends was blown down and lay in two heaps of debris, and a considerable portion of that which had supported the west side of the boiler was also displaced. The boiler itself seemed externally to have sustained no damage, but on looking inside it was found that the flue had been torn to pieces. Giving way in this manner, the boiler had belched forth the boiling water, with which it was charged, through the flue apertures at both ends. Fortunately, at the north end, the scalding steam was arrested in its course by the opposite wall of the firehole; while at the opposite extremity the wall of the kiln above re ferred to interpoed an equally effective barrier to its passage, Had it not been for these obstructions, the water must have been dashed about the pre mises to a much greater extent than it was, and in that case a much larger number of persons than those who have actually been injured would have suffered from the calamity. As it is, the results are exceed ingly lamantable. When the real magnitude of the disaster had been ascertained, it ap peared that seven of the men employed in the im mediate neighbourhood of the boiler had been more or less seriously injured. The engineman, John Richmond, who happened at the time of the acci dent to be standing in the fire-hole immediately op. posits the end of the boiler , was exposed to the full fellow deal force of the stream of scalding water, and throw n down by a mass of falling brickwork.
