AVIE hard substance obtained by pressure from the IL Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient in the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the Patent oner, or, that the imitators are infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman or other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, which they ill then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub wlished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are Row so wellknown to the Public, that it is hardly necessary to state here that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and ive so largo an mount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the n conimPtiest Tallow Candles. They may be had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom ; but purchasers must insist on being supplied w 1 " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to 1 deceived with seats of the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite." Those Parties, really in the trade, who do not Pya- et keep them for sale, are informed that the y can purchase, of the tentees, or of Palmer and Co., Sutton.street, Clerkenwell, any , quan tity, large or small, at the wholesale price ; and that allowances are made in an increasing ratio, to parties taking to the amount of 50/., 100/., 1501., or 200/., at a time ; and a very large allowance indeed to parties taking so large a quantity as to (sable them to bocome whole. sale agents for an entire district.

LIFE-BOAT.—A new material for the build of life4me,ts has been sug gested, and the launch of one so formed took place yes terday at the Square Shot Tower, Waterloo-bridge. - On Monday last, at Devonport, Admiral >ir David Milne, Commander-in- Chief, and Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, Superintendent of the Dockyard, went on board the San Josef, at that port, for the purpose of com municating to Barnes, late carpenter's mate of the Resistance, troop- ship, who remains there a prisoner, having been sentencedlbv a court- martial to death for striking the boatswain (Lee) of the same ship, and who has since been dismissed the service by a court martial also, the decision of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in answer to the recommendation to mercy made by th e C ourt at t h e conc l us i on o f th e trial. Their Lordships have been pleased to commute the sentence to two years' imprisonment, and the cul prit is to remain on board the San Josef until further orders. The Clarence, advance ship, at Devonport, had her masts, bowsprit, and anchors, put on board on Tues day last, and will be taken to her moorings. The Goodwill, lighter (Pledge, master), sailed from Devonport on Tuesday morning, with stores for Sheerness and Chatham. The Cornwallis, 72, Captain H. Richards, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adams, has arrived at Portsmouth, from the East Indies. When off Tor bay, a bottle, containing a letter addressed to the Ad miralty, was thrown overboard. The bottle eventually drifted on shore, and was picked up in the bay and the letter forwarded to the Admiralty, where it was received the day before the Cornwallis arrived at Spithead. Admiral Parker arrived at the Admiralty on Tuesday evening.. The Cornwallis has been in commission bet4en three and four years, and is to be paid off. She remains at Spithead waiting for orders. The Fair Rosamond, 9, Lieutenant-Commander Bulman, which recently returned from the West Indies, is to be paid off at Portsmouth. She has gone into harbour for that purpose. The Vesuvius, steam-sloop, Commander Ommaney which arrived from the Mediterranean on Saturday, is to be paid off at Woolwich. She left Portsmouth for the river on Monday. The Vesuvius has been in commission nearly four years. The Locust steamer, recently paid off at Ports mouth, is to be brought forward for commissioning immediately. Her late officers state her to be a most excellent sea boat. _ _ _ The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill, has captured several slavers off the south-west coast of Africa. She arrived at the Cape from Mozambique the day previous to the Cornwallis leaving it. The other vessels lying at the Cape at the time the Cornwallis touched there, were the Winchester, 90, Captain Eden, with the flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Josce line Percy ; the Isis, 44, Captain Sir John Marshall ; and the Thunderbolt steamer, Commander Broke. The Cornwallis and the Isis left the Cape together on the 31st of August, the former for Ascension and England, and the Isis for Ichaboe. We are happy to state that, previous to the Corn wallis leaving Ascension, the inhabitants of that island had been relieved from their state of suffering from the want of water, as the continued drought had at length given place to heavy falls of rain, which caused a plentiful supply. The Scourge, steam sloop, is to be launched, or rather floated out of the dock in which she has been built at Portsmouth, this day. She will be brought round to the river to be fitted with her engines, which are being made by Messrs. Maudesley, and are to be of 420 horse power. The Firebrand, steam-frigate, Captain Corry, which left Portsmouth with the experimental squadron of brigs, and touched at Plymouth on her passage down Channel, has answered the expectations that were entertained of her. During her passage she proved herself to be a fast and an excellent sea- boat. The Basilisk ketch is ordered home from the Pacific to be paid off, as she has been in commission consider ably above her time. This is the vessel in which Queen Pomare took refuge during the recent occupa tion of Otaheite by the French. The experimental brigs, when they have com pleted their trial cruise, will be dispersed to different stations to relieve such vessels of their class as may have been in commission above their time. WooLw tcn, Nov. 6.—The Vesuvius steam-frigate, Commander Erasmus Ommanney, arrived at Wool wich yesterday evening from Portsmouth and the Mediterranean, and is to be paid off here after a Period of service extending to four years and four months on the Mediterranean station. The Amphion 36 guns, building at Woolwich Dockyard, is ordered to be completed by March next. She is to be fitted with engines and a screw propeller, and her bow is to be lengthened according to a plan submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty, by Mr. White, of Cowes. Messrs. W. IV. Chilcott and G. W. Watton, second class engineers, from the Victoria and Albert, are ordered to be borne as supernumeraries in the William and Mary yacht, at Woolwich. Commander Beadon has received their Lordships' permission to study at the factory in Woolwich Dock yard. The Gladiator, steam-frigate ' has been coppered, previous to her b e i ng t a k en t o Blackwall to be fitted with her machinery, by Messrs. Millar and Raven hill, Blackwall.

Yesterday morning, at two, a most alarming fire burst forth from the first floor of the house, No. 75, Wells-street, Oxford-street, in the occupation of Mr. Weedon, furniture broker, &c. By the judicious con duct of police-constable C 67, the doors were pre vented from being opened, and tli flames confined from the action of the current of air, and before the fire had extended to the staircase so as - to cut off the usual communication, the family were able to escape b tAsttwht ieettpntscelfiefil deidrrneooeer::: ewfnaunetta plentiful st t ds h h tsui corner hoet e pyeropi,cbl and in over the leads, to the house of Mr. Littlewood, of the C u a t s m tle o - s s t tr a e l e a t r , in a a l n m d os fr t ig in ht a . originatedyosu subdued, could l o lhdd f di nu w tge d a b, t , nes ehtorlontectaib:ntenoei and nd g sudawnt frithusei satisfactorily muchdhe tet l o y ur r furniture. t elhy. obtained e a oiscci ceo damage urw: pierisinsured. Shortly after one yesterday morning a fire, the light of which was distinctly seen from the City bridges, broke out i n th e extens i ve prem i ses b e l ong i ng to Messrs. Smith and Co., cabinet and chair-makers, Francis-street, Tottenham-court-road. Without delay the police communicated the information of the circumstance to the several engine depots, and in a very short space of time, engines from the western, northern, and City stations were upon the spot. Mr. Braidwood having arrived before two o'clock, he directed the hose to be led through premises in Francis-street, and also along the extensive buildings in the occupation of Messrs. Collard, Collard, and Co., the eminent pianoforte-makers, in Tottenham-court road, whose manufactory was at one time considered in great danger. Fortunately, through the exertions of firemen, police, and strangers, the several engines were not only got to work, but the volumes of water poured upon the flames subdued them most effec tually by half-past two o'clock, when the further ex tension of the fire was stayed. The damage done is considerable. How the fire originated is not known, nor could we ascertain whether the firm is insured. Wednesday afternoon, shortly after five o'clock, much alarm was occasioned in the vicinity of Hanover square, owing to the outbreak of a serious fire at the mansion of Sir Samuel Brown, situated at No. 4, Hanover-street, and which at one time threatened the most devastating consequences. It appears from in quiries made of the fire brigade authorities, that her Ladyship had occasion to go into her bedchamber, a front room on thesecond-floor, with a lighted candle, and through some unfortunate circumstance fired the drapery attached to the bed. She immediately en deavoured to tear the curtains down, so as to extin guish the fire, but ere she could accomplish that de sirable object the whole had become ignited. Her Ladyship instantly ran to the head of the stairs and alarmed the domestics, who forthwith attempted to subdue the flaming property, by throwing a quantity of water on it. It had, however, gained too great an ascendancy for their feeble efforts, and fortunately for the preservation of the mansion, the brigade and their engines from the King-street station, who were called by some of the neighbouring gentry, were prompt in their arrival, and eventually succeeded in pre venting the destructive element extending from the apartment in which it originated. The damage ef fected, both by fire and water, is rather heavy, but Sir Samuel is fully insured in the Imperial Insu rance-office. 'Whether her Ladyship was burnt or irlpt i could not be ascertained ; if she was not, her es cape may bp eowidered. a most providential one. To RESUSCITATE A MAN APPARENTLY Go to earch his pocliets—if that don't bring him to, no• thing will A WFUL CONFLAGRATION—THE BARQUE NINIAN. (From the Limerick Reporter of Tuesday.) Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, this beautiful vessel, belonging to Mr. David Bannatyne, which had lain up for the past three weeks, at the North Strand, near the Patent-slip, for the purpose of being pitched and otherwise repaired, preparatory to taking in a fresh cargo, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was instantly given and every assis tance that could bi put in requisition was imme diately had. Before, however, any effective aid could possibly be at hand, the devouring and frightful element had gained the ascendant, the flames having got ahead, and having attacked the mizzen-mast, the rigging, and the sails, together with the sides of the vessel, the appearance was awfully sublime, exhibiting one scene of livid flame, both terrific and appalling, threatening, as it was thought, inevitable destruction to two vessels that lay quite close. Meanwhile, the alarm spread on every side, and assistance poured in from every quarter, and in less than twenty minutes after the first alarm, thousands were on the spot. But, by this time, the fire, which orig:nated in the captain's cabin having reached the bulk-head and main-holt, and communi cated with the mizen-mast, imminent destruction threatened the vessel, meanwhile the St. Michael's parochial engine arrived, but it appeared wholly im possible for a considerable time,to adjust it and get it to work. The West of England engine shortly after arrived, and, under the conduct of Messrs. John Fogarty and Robert Anglim, commenced playing on the flames before the parochial engine was adjusted. The engine was worked by most efficient hands, relieved at intervals by the military under the com mand of Colonel Maunsel, who was quickly at the frightful scene, and was indefatigable in his exertions. The St. Michael's engine had now com menced work most effectually too, plied by the pa rochial firemen and civilians. The Mayor, with a large body of the police, was also in attendance, and was most indefatigable in his exertions, also Sir R. Franklin and Mr. Crips. Numerous tar-barrels and flambeaux blazed on the quay to drect the operations. The safety of the entire vessel, and, we may say, of the others adjoining, was, in a great measure, owing to the cutting away of the mizen-mast, ordered by . Mr. G. Trameereo, foreman at J. F. Russell's dock yard. The engines worked incessantly for two hours, and the vessel was obliged to be scuttled before the fire had been got under : the Captain's cabin being wholly, and a great portion of the mainholt partly destroyed. THE KILMARNOCK SUICIDES.—The mystery which hung around this melancholy affair is now partially re moved, in so far as the identification of the unfortunate individuals is concerned ; but nothing, as yet, has been elicited that can afford the slightest insight into the causes which led to the commission of such a delibe rate act of suicide. It is ascribed, by common re port, to misfortune in business. This, however, is con tradicted by the statement of Mr. Horton, to whom allusion is made in the concluding paragraph quoted from the Kilmarnock Herald. As expected by that journal, he arrived in Kilmarnock on Friday, and proceeded to Ayr to obtain a warrant from the Sheriff for the exhumation of the bodies in the church yard of Kilmaurs, where they were interred by order of the authorities. We understand that, on his represen tation, the Sheriff at once granted a warrant as re quested ; and the bodies were accordingly disinterred next day. Although the face of the male was a little decomposed, yet the traits of the visage were sufficiently distinct to servo the purpose of identification. Mr. Horton, however, could not identify the female, whom he alleged to have never seen. The bodies, after this inspection, were again consigned to their resting-place. —.Ayr Observer. ACCIDENT IN THE BLACKFRIARS-ROAD. —On Monday evening last the following frightful accident oc curred in the Blackfriars-road, by which a very valuable horse was killed on the spot, and a young man in the em ploy of Mr. Apps, the coach-builder, nearly lost his life, he having received a compound fracture of the left knee joint. It appears that the horse, which is a very spirited animal, was attached to a light gig, and was standing , in front of Mr. App's residence while the man was chang ing the bridle, when a boy let off a cracker in front of the horse's head. The animal darted off at full speed, and knocked the young mandown, the near wheel passing over his left leg. The horse turned down Wellington street, and on nearing the east end he came in contact with a brick wall with such violence as to cause almost instant death to the poor animal. The gig was also very much damaged by the collision. The young man was taken to Guy's Hospital, and is going on favourably. The quiet village of Blendon, near Bexley, has been disturbed from its wonted peacefulness within the last few days by an occurrence of a melancholy cha racter, and which at first induced a very strong belief that the foul crime of infanticide had been committed by a girl named Elizabeth Wells, who was employed in the capacity of housemaid in the establishment of a gen tleman connected with one of the London banking firms, who resides in the above village. A lengthened inquiry took place before Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent, on Monday evening, at the Three Blackbirds, Blendon, and from the statement of the witnesses it ap peared that on the previous Wednesday the girl, Eliza beth Wells, had complained of the headache, and being very ill, and she went to bed about five o'clock in the afternoon, there being at this time not the slightest sus picion entertained of her being in the family-way. At a later period of the evening one of the other servants went up to the room where Wells was, and she then observed a quantity of blood upon the floor, and other appearances, which induced her to question the girl, who, after some hesitation got up, and opening a box that was in the room, took out of it the body of an infant alive, but evidently almost in a dying state. Immediate alarm was given, and a messenger was dispatched to Bexley for a surgeon, and Mr. Cotten ham, of that place, promptly attended, and did all that was possible in the case, but without effect, as the child died very shortly afterwards. Upon an examination of the infant there did not appear to be any marks of vio lence upon its body, and the death was no doubt attri butable to its being neglected, and not having proper at tention at the time of its birth. The jury, after a very patient and careful inquiry, returned a verdict " That the deceased child died from loss of blood, the mother being alone at the time she was delivered, and ignorant what course she ought to have pursued towards it." WORCESTER, Nov. 2.—We have had a very short supply of hops to-day, the quantity weighed being only 362 pockets, which realised an advance upon former rates of 2s. per cwt., the currency being from 71. 10s. to 81. 10s. per cwt. There were 119 pockets weighed lin the week. The best sort of old hops sell at more money than last week. DOTTERELS.—Within the last few days several streig flights of this highly-esteemed migratory fea thered visitant have been observed in the billy districts around Andover. The shepherds, who are prone to study the habits of such birds of passage who visit that extensive range of downs called Salisbury Plain (upon which latter they may be also said to spend their lives), hold the following trite saying among them, and as they are guided as to the management of their flocks, in a great measure, by the signs of the seasons, there can be no doubt but that the adage carries some weight with it: " When dotterel do first appear, it shows that frost is very near ; But when that dotterel do go, then you may look for heavy snow." WOODCOCKS.—A fine woodcock was shot on the 26th ult., by Captain Grierson, of Rockhall. The fea thered stranger had taken to the high grounds in the first instance, and to all appearance had newly arrived from his long journey. Capt. G., in this respect, was first on the field last year, and, we suppose, not second during the present. Two days later Capt. Irving shot three birds of the same species, on the estate of Earl ston, Borgne ; and we have been informed on good au thority that various specimens of the tribe have been seen since in Locher Moss.—Dumfries Courier. The Worshipful Company of Grocers have for warded the munificent donation of 1001. towards the fund now collecting for the establishment of baths and wash houses for the poor. The steam ship Britannia, Captain llewitt, sailed from Liverpool on Tuesday afternoon, with the mails, and passengers for Canada and the United States. THE BELGIAN TARIFF AND THE MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.--We understand that a spe cial meeting of the board of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures was held on Saturday last, at the offices of the Chamber, King-street, to take into consideration the impending alterations in the Bel gian tariff, particularly as regards the differential duties about to be established on British printed and dyed cali coes ; when it was determined to send a deputation to the Board of Trade, to call their especial attention to the subject. The deputation, we believe, consists of Messrs. Leo Schuster, Edmund Potter, Salis Schwabe, John d'Hauregard, and Alexander Glendinning. It was expected that the deputation would have an interveiw with the Board of Trade yesterday. Manchester Guardian. WALMER CASTLE.—The Marquis of Salisbury leaves the Castle this day, for town, expressly to dine at the civic banquet at Guildhall on Saturday. The Earl of Ellenborough closes his visit to the Duke of Wellington at the end of the week, and then goes to his seat in Gloucestershire. The Countess Paulett, the Right lion.

(Abridged from the Manchester Gual dian of Wednesday.) In our last we gave such particulars as we could then collect of this lamentable occurrence, by which the lives of no fewer than twenty human beings have been lost. It will be recollected that at that time fourteen bodies had been discovered, and six others were then missing. Of these, five were found during Friday night and Satur day, but that of Whitehead was not discovered until Sunday morning, though it subsequently appeared that the labourers employed in the search had repeatedly ap proached within a brick or two of where the body was lyintr, outside the walls of the mill, and near the chimney at the north-east corner. It is conjectured he had been struck down by the falling building as he was crossing the yard. We are sorry to learn that one of the sur vivors, Hannah Taylor, who sustained a compound fracture in one leg—the limb being broken in three places—besides other severe injuries, is scarcely ex p,-cted to recover. The others, we understand, are all doing well. The local authorities convened a public meeting, which it was intended at first to hold on Satur day evening, but was subsequently fixed fur Monday evening, to originate a subscription for the relief of the many industrious families thus suddenly plunged into great poverty and distress by their bereavement of their natural protectors. The surplus of a fund raised for the relief of the sufferers by the fire at the Union Mills some time ago, and which we now learn amounts to about 2001. (and not 4001., as at first stated to us), is likely to be appropriated to this kindred object. The greatest sympathy and commiseration have been manifested by the inhabitants generally towards the unfortunate suf ferers, and the melancholy event has cast a deep gloom over the whole town. The inquest was held on Saturday last, at two o'clock in the afternoon, at the Black Swan Inn, Mumps, before Mr. Molesworth, Deputy Coroner, and a respectable jury. The inquiry was held on the bodies of Jo- Feph Tweedale, Robert Tweedale, James Tweedale, Susannah Wright, George Taylor, Mary Ann Hussey, James Ridgway, Ann Buckley, James Kershaw, Sarah Watmough, William Mannock, John Kershaw, William Butterworth, Edward Winpenny, Ann Ogden, Hannah Sitter, Ann Hahne, Elizabeth Smethurst, and Daniel Dunkerley—in all ninetQen, William Whitehead not having been found. There was a report in Oldham on Saturday that he had been found alive beneath an arch, and that he had been supplied with a little wine, to re store his exhausted strength, till the excavators could rescue him ; but we ascertained that there was no foun dation for this report. Immediately after being sworn, the jury proceeded in an omnibus to view the several bodies, at the various homes of the deceased ; and next proceeded to the ruins of the fallen mill, and there in sp:>cted the construction of the building, with its prin cipal beams and cross-beams, cast-iron pillars, and brick arches, as shown in the part of a bay left standing throughout every floor, as if it were a model transverse section. They also examined several of the beams, and fragments of beams, lying in the yard, especially with reference to the " luggs" or " ears" at the ends of the beam, and the iron straps or " clips," put round them to bind or grace the ends of two beams together around the pillar. On the return of tho jury, after some conversation, it was agreed to commence with evidence as to the identity of the elder Tweedale's body. A witness named William Mills, living in Pipe-row, North Moor, being confined to his bed by his injuries, his evidence was taken at his own dwelling, in the course of the round taken by the coroner and jury. lle stated —I am a bricklayer, and was working at Lower House mill, Messrs. Samuel Radcliffe and Sons. One of the arches in the flooring of the top story had given way about five inches in the crown; and I pulled a third of it out, and put it in again. This was on Tuesday last. I took it out on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday it was got ready for me, and I put one length (of a third part) in on Wednesday night, and we just then had the middle part out. It was flagged over the top, and the flags of the next bay had given way, and I showed it to the mas ter (Mr. Wrigley), and one of the master's sons. One of the ends of an iron beam had broken—l mean the ear where the clip goes on, and I showed it to Mr. Samuel Radcliffe ' and he said it was a pity they br o k e th a t wa y. Oue had broken before. The berm had only lost one ear, and had not lost all its bearing on the pillar. I had but just pulled the middle length out when I saw the gable end fall. One of the men working near the end (Thoraus Mellor) ran, and before he could reach it, it went down and him with it. It went bay after bay, the roof following the floor, beginning with the gable (west end), and cumin.- towards me, and I saw it going bay after bay, for perhaps' a minute, and when it came to me, down I went with it. My head was badly cut, but I was never insensible. My leg is badly bruised and swollen, but not broken. The flags had not broken, but the joints had sundered a little. By a Juror—The joiner only said that the bedding of the flagging had given way. It was about the fourth bay from the gable end where the arch had given way. I think it was the pressure towards the gable, and to resist such a pressure the gable should have had strong buttresses. The gable was the only thing to keep it up. The arch had only an inch rise per foot. Mary Tweedale, of Lower House, widow of Joseph Tweedale, the overlooker, stated, that o7:e of the bodies lying at her house was that of her husband ; he was forty-four years of age. Another body lying in her house was that of Robert Tweedale, her son, aged seven-- teen years, a twister-in ; and the third body lying there' was that of James Tweedale, a younger son, aged twelve years. He was a reacher-in. The poor woman sobbed, and was quite overcome, ' _ _ After some further evidence, the jury adjourned until Monday. On their re-assembling they were sworn in the case of William Whitehead, the last body missing, which had been found the preceding day. They then went to view that body, and also to inspect the mill again. The fol lowing are the particulars as to William Whitehead, of Fouleach, engineer, who would have completed his 22d year at Christmas next. He had been in the employ of the firm twelve years. Ho was unmarried, and lived with his mother, who has six surviving children, of whom four are under twenty years of age ; namely, two girls of eighteen and twelve years, and two boys of six teen and ten years. The deceased's body was found about ten o'clock on Sunday morning outside the build ing, in the yard, near the chimney, under a heap of bricks ; so that he had evidently been struck down, crushed, and killed, while passing along the yard, endea vouring to escape. On the return of the jury to the Black Swan, Mr. Wiliam Fairbairn, C.E.. and Mr. David Bellhouse, builder, both of Manchester, were requested to be pre sent during the remainder of the inquiry. The Rev. T. S. Mills, magistrate, was also present. The first witness called (the inquiry being so far limited to the death of the elder Tweedale) was— Thomas Mellor, of Hey Side, in Boyton, bricklayer, who stated:—On Thursday I was at work on the arch in the cockloft at Lower House Mill. We had taken one length out, and keyed it, and had taken another length out, and I had taken a springer out (the spring course), and was talking to the man working with me (William Mills), when I saw the beam in the bay snap off at the collar, at the pillar; and I said," Billy, its aw' going!" and I set off as fast as I could to the door. I saw the arch next Greaves's factory drop in (the second bay from the gable end). It was the centre beam of the three principal beams between the second and third bays that fell, dropping in. The different bays dropped as I quitted them till I reached the last bay but one, next the old factory, when it fell with me. By Mr. Fairbairn—l can't tell where the bearers for the scaffolding were. (The foreman said the joiner had explained that point on Saturday.) I was never insen sible. One arm was fast, and with the other I got some stuff from my head, so as to breathe more freely, till I was rescued. By Mr. Fairbairn—When the beam fell I saw the arch of the fifth bay from the old mill (the third from the gable end) give way and drop. The stage we stood on dropped with it. I jumped off the stage, and ran towardi the old mill. The beam did not spring at all, but it snapped off at the collar, and fell straight down. I heard no previous noise. No arch had given way, except that which we were repairing, and which had previously dropped or sunk, just four inches. The arches had a rise of twelve inches. By a juror —The men, it was said, had not put the arches in close enough, and our master (Mr. Wrigley) was blamed for their not being closely keyed. By Mr. Fairbairn—The arch that had sunk or flat tened four inches, was keyed with brick, and " caulked" with slate. Everywhere between the bricks the spaces had been " caulked," or wedged in with pieces of slate. Three of us took out the bricks from that arch, and there were pieces of slate between the bricks. By the Foreman—l cannot tell why the arch had sunk four inches. I think something must have given way, but I cannot say what. None of the tie-rods or stays were broken. Alter some further evidence of a similar character, the inquiry was adjourned until this afternoon. CLERKENWELL IMPROVEMENTS. —Wednesday 30 houses were sold by auction by Mr. Pullen, which are to be taken down for the new street which is to be from Farringdon-street to the back of the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, thus making nearly 150 houses which have been disposed of, the sale taking place by direction of the Clerkenwell Improvement Commissioners. There was a very ac ti v e competition for the property , wh ich fetched a high price, though many portions of it had been built almost a century. The bricks alone produced between 4501. and 5001, The whole went for above 7001.

TWO MEN KILLED. Yesterday, about noon, a most lamentable accident occurred at the Churchgate Factory, at Stockport, belonging to Messrs. Elkanah and Samuel Howard Cheetham, by the falling of a large chimney attached to the works there, and which, in its descent, unfor tunately caused the death of two men, and seriously injured two or three others. The chimney stood in the yard behind the Churchgate Factory as seen from the public road. It and the surrounding buildings have probably been built between forty and fifty years. It was originally perhaps about forty yards high, square built, with a base of unusually large dimensions, which rested, we believe, upon arches and pillars of brick-work. Up each of these pillars ran a flue, and the chimney was divided down the centre by a partitioning of brick-work. We have also been informed, that there were two small rooms at tlae lease of the chimney, one of which was used as a counting-house and the other as a drying-room, bat for the accuracy of this we cannot vouch, as in the hurry and confusion which prevailed we were unable to obtain any positive information on this point ; we may state, however, that the fact is almost notorious that there were rooms in the chimney. From what has already been said it will be seen that this chimney was one of very old construction, and from its greet age it had long been in a very dilapidated state. We should state, that on the north it was bounded by a • declivity, leading to the Lower Carrs, and the pro jecting end of a building; on the east by the factory, which joined its base • on the south by anoth er en d 0' the factory; and on the west by two small reser vein, walled round, and divided by a wall in the centre. Close by the base of the chimney was a, boiler-house and boiler, at work at the time. We have said that the chimney had for some time been in a very dilapidated state, and it would seem that the recent high wind and dampness had rendered its state still more dangerous. On Monday, we be lieve, nearly a cart-load of bricks fell from the top on to the roof of a turning shop and factory below, in consequence of which the hands refused to work, and. the engine was stopped. Yesterday morn i ng it was determined to take it down, and several men were en gaged for this purpose from an early hour. About noon, the time in question, they had probably taken down about five yards of it, and most of the mot and factory hands had left for dinner, when the whole mass - suddenly fell, in a south-westerly direction, carrying down the boiler-house, and almost entirely filling with baicks, timber, and rubbish, the yard and smaller reservoir. A sweep named Joseph Smith, aged about forty years, was at the top of the chimney at the time, engaged in the work. Finding it going, he leaped off, but was followed by the mass of brick work, and thrown with tremendous vio!ence into the water, at one corner of the reservoir, a great weight of bricks falling uron him. He was extricated from his situation as soon as possible, but remained insen sible for a long time afterwards; indeed it was under stood that he was very much injured about his head, chest, and shoulders. The other two men, who we re hilted, were found under the brick-work quite dead. Their names are— Thomas Edwards, engineer of the Carrs, aged about 55. He was much injured about the head and other parts of his body, and has rec e i ve d a most d rea d ful wound over the right temple. He has left a wife, with whom he was not at the time living. Daniel Edwards (his son), engineer, of Newbridge lane, aged 2G. He has left a wife and one child. These two, it is supposed, were standing near the base of the chimney at the time. These bodies, with Smith, were conveyed to the Thatched House Ta vern beer-house, dose by, and several medical gen tlemen were quickly on the spot, who rendered every assistance, but to no purpose. Their bodies were afterwards conveyed to their own homes. Smith, when our account left, was suffering severely, but hopes were entertained of his recovery ; and he would be conveyed to the infirmary. Another sweep, named Charles Baguley, was also a little injured by the fall ; he was for some time under the rubbish, but was extricated without sustaining any serious harm. At one time it was rumoured that other persons were under the ruins, but all these cases were Oared up with one exception only, in which it was believed that a man named Kelly was missing. As he lived in Bredbury, the fact was not ascerta?ncd when our account left. Altogether, it is perhaps fortunate that the chimney fell in the direction it did, as, if it had fallen in any other direction, it must have caused an in:initely greater destruction of both life and property. The inquest on the bodies of the sufferers will be held to day (Wednesday), when, doubtless, a very minute inquiry into all the circumstances of the case Kill be made. FALL OF A HIGH CHIMNEY AT ARD WICK . The chimney of the chemical works of Messrs. Tennants, Clow, and Co., at Ardwick-bride, having for some time past shown a leaning to one side, it had been determined to take it down, when the late high south-easterly winds came, and during the night of Friday last affected it so much, that on the men coming to work on Saturday morning about six o'clock, its fall was dreaded every moment. It was ' found that about three feet only from the ground it was completely cracked across, so that it was in imminent danger of falling with the next gust of wind. No time was lost; Mr. Statham, one of the partners, was soon on the spot, and was joined shortly afterw - ards by Mr. Young, the manager of the works; and the inmates of a number of cot tages all round the chimney and within its falling range, were promptly awakened, and removed, with their furniture and moveables, to places of safety. The horses were also removed from the adja cent stables, and all the workmen were strictly enjoined not to approach that part of the premises. All these precautionary arrangements having been completed with great care and promptia tude, about nine o'clock the chimney at length fell, with a tremendous crash, breaking through several buildings, all the inmates of which had been removed, and crushing the arches over the river which had been erected for the purposes of the works. On the whole damage was thus sustained to the extent, we are assured, of about 1,000/. ; but for tunately, though one individual had a very narrow escape, no lives were lost ; a result mainly attri butable to the excellent precautions taken by Mr. Statham and Mr. Young. We understand that this chimney was built about thirteen years ago, when the works were in the occupation of Mr. E. P. Thompson. Its form was polygonal, its height between forty and fifty yards. Had it fallen during the night, the loss of several lives would, in all probability, have been the consequence. The firm of Messrs. Tennants, Clow, and Co., is well known, in connexion with the highest chimney in Grote Britain, that at their chemical works at St. Rollox, Glasgow.—Manchester Guardian. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES. - -Wednesday information was received at Bow-street, and forwarded to the metro politan offices, that on the night of the 31st ult., while Mr. T. Burton, jun., farmer, was returning from market, he was robbed of a black leather pocket-book, containing 1751. of the followingbanks : — Knaresborough and Clara, York Union, Wensendale, and Swaledale, and two 54 Bank of England notes. Amongst the notes of the Clara and Knaresborough Bank are the following numbers :- 19, 23, 106, 107, 205, 206, and 234. A tall man, dresses in a dark coloured coat and light trousers, and a woman, are suspected.—lnformation was also received that on the night of the 20th ultimo, while Mr. Lishman, farmer, of Fernwick Shields, near Stamfordham, in the county of Northumberland, was riding home, he was was stopped. by six men, who held his horse, pulled him from its back, and, having brutally ill-used him, robbed him of two pocket-books containing 105/., in SZ notes, being four 51. notes of the Union Bank of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the remainder of the Branch Bank of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Tile thieves also took a stamp receipt for 100 L ; and two receipts of the Northumberland and Durham District Bank for 2001. and 5001. This plan of waylaying farmers on their return from market with the produce of their .asses is rapidly increasing. ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON BAIL. WAN. — Another melancholy (and, as our correspondent has heard, fatal) accident occurred on the London sail Brighton Railway, near Hayward's. heath tunnel, about three o'clock on Thursday morning last. A man of the name of John Hobbs, who was stationed as a signal man to a number of men employed in removing a quan tity of earth from the line where a slip has lately taken place, was knocked down by au engine workw a c tie waggons used in removing the earth, aged bod y.dre artiA.: bruised on the head and many parts _t and placed in the hospital.
