The inquest on the bodies of the three unfortunate men who were killed by the already accident announced in our journal, was held on Thursday before the borough Coroner, Mr. Chapman, and a respectable jury. The accident has, of course, created a great deal of ex citement in the neighbourhood. The shock appears to have been tremendous, as it was felt, and created consi derable alarm, at a distance of more than 500 yards from the spot. After the jury had assembled and visited the scene of the accident, the first witness examined was Joseph Clarke, of No. 8, Allen-street, who deposed as follows:—I am an engine-fitter. Yesterday morning I arrived on the bank about a quarter before six o'clock. I met Wm. Stones on the bank, and then entered the new engine shed, in which the accident happened. Jones was the night inspector. At the time we entered the shed Mills was under the Irk engine, in the pit. All cock was examining the engine glands on the right-hand side of the engine. I said to them, "You are at it," and Mills said, " Yes ' we are." At that moment the three deceased were all about the engine. At the same time the Stanley engine came in at the other end of the shed. Before I reached the Stanley engine, which was not more than 20 yards off, I heard a loud report, which I thought at the moment was occasioned by the bursting of a steam-pipe. I went out at the end of the shed at which the Stanley was, not being able to get the other way, en aecount of the great quantity of smoke and fire which was flying about there. I shortly went to the end where the accident had occurred, and found that the shed was in ruins. I returned to the end from which I came, and obtained a light, with a view of searching for the bodies, knowing that some of our men were under the engine. When I first saw the engine the tender was attached to it, ready for starting. As soon as I found a light, I went to the place where the Irk had been standing. The engine was not where I first saw it, anal the tender was covered with the ruins, near where it before stool The whole of the roof for about twenty-one yards had been blown away. I found the engine on the pit at the opposite side of the shed, lying reversed on its broadside. On examining the en gine, I found that the fire -box top had been rent at three sides, and drawn upon the fire-bars. I found George Mills under the fire-box end, and William Allcock under the smoke-box end. Stones where lying on the flags, on the right side of the shed, with a wooden beam across his body. He was about seven yards from the engine. Allcock and Mills were carried a distance of twenty yards, and Stones was in the same place I left him. When I found them they were all dead. Mills, when found, was lying with his head on the rails, and the boiler upon it, his head being crushed and his skull laid open. Allcock was sitting on the rails with his feet hanging into the pit, and the smoke-box on his back. I have been in the service of the Company five years. The whole of the deceased were steady men, and well ac quainted with their business. Mills had been in the Com pany's service five years. Allcock and Stones about the same time. The engine and tender were on the line when I fist went. The Irk was always considered a very good engine, and has been constantly at work, ex cept when undergoing a few slight repairs. A juror—l wish to ask whether the witness saw that part of the boiler which has been carried away since the accident? Witness—l did not. The engine had been repaired about last Friday, and had been working on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last. It was tried on the Friday. Since repaired, it has bad two trips to Leeds and back with passengers, and was abont to make a third that morning with a passenger train. I had never seen anything the matter with it. It was consi dered all tight and trustworthy. No repairs had been done to the fire-box or steam-chamber. I had examined them on Wednesday last, and found them all right. She had been under repairs about two months. It is my duty to examine all engines before they go out. By the Foreman—When I entered the shed in the morning the steam was not escaping from the valves. I did not see in what state the valves were, being at the other side of the engine; but, from what I could see, the valves were all right. The men work by contract, and it is very common for them to keep the steam as low as they can, in order to save the coke, which is weighed out to them. On the day before the accident, I saw the steam from the same engine blowing off. She was piloting at the time. I think the diameter of the valves is about three inches and a half. This is the inside of the valve. We generally work those engines at about 601 b. pressure to the square inch. The spring balance is one of Salter's fiat-sided. I cannot say whether the valves were overweighted, but I believe they were the same as the day before. I cannot say what was the cause of the accident, but I believe the man who was getting up the steam was complaining of the difficulty of getting it up. There are two valves on the engine, one of which is a locked valve. Neither of the valves has been removed by the aceident, and I examined them shortly afterwards, before any person had interfered with them. The studs of the locked valve were broken, and the valve partly open. The other was closed, but the studs of the spring and lever were broken off. I believe they were broken by the explosion, and were not the cause of it, unless they were improperly weighted. The lever was found close to the engine, and nothing was at tached to it but the pin that weighted down the valve. By a juror—The effect of contracts with the men would not induce the engineer to keep heavy fires, but just the reverse, unless they are at work with the engines, and then they keep no heavier fires than they can do with. Their interest in the contract is to save fuel. They are paid a certain sum per mile, out of which they have to pay for their own fuel, oil, and tallow. They have also to pay their own firemen. )r another juror—lf the valves had been in the same condition they ,were in the day before, the explosion could not have taken place, as the steam would have passed through the valves. We seldom see steam blow off from the contract engines. When I examined the valves, after the explosion, there appeared to be nothing the matter that would cause the accident. By the Foreman—l am not aware that he (Stones) had been absent during the whole night. Ile told me that he had examined the engine, and that it was all right, as were also all the other steam-engines. By a juror—lt frequently happens that when the en gineers are starting with a heavy load, they put their hand on the spring balance valve to prevent the steam from escaping, and this enables them to start better ; but they cannot get at the lock up valve, which, if in p t a r i op n e p r r a c s o s n a d r i e t . i o Mills s i 1 was a o s p e a n when h o taa at that a s t t ea m is was in at t c h ea habiter tampering rent i nthewith roof the of v t a h l e v valves. e a x r and carefullyth e re appears examined the to r o h f have been an imperfection in the metal plate. I come to this conclusion from the appearance of the metal, which is darker than the other. On the conclusion of the examination of this and will be resumed at the Palatine Hotel, near the Victoria station. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE ) After the disposalof few cases of felony, in which a there appeared no feature of general interest, the Court proceeded to dispo se of appeal and misdemeanant cases. THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—This was an appeal on the Part of the inhabitants of Chiswick against a de cision of J. T. Pratt, Esq., concerning the right of the Horticultural Society to pay r a t es . Mr. Clarkson appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Bodkin for the respondents. It appeared the society claimed to be exempted under the 6th and 7th of Victoria, the Act under which the soc i e ty was incorporated, from the payment of the usual parish rates in Chiswick, where they possessed the well known botanical grounds. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that, upon look ing over the Ac t of Incor p oration, and giving it his most serious consideration, as to whether there was anything contained in its clauses which would bring it within the liabilities of those societies which distributed a beneficial dividend, he was of opinion that the society was not in cluded in the description. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— Thursday morning an accident occurred upon this line of railway that will probably be attended with a fatal result. A goods train left Paddington at half-past four o'clock in the morning, and stopped at the West London junction at Wormwood Scrubs, to attach another car riage. One of the guards named Horatio Nelson Tol verney, descended for the purpose of attaching the con necting chain or driving bar, and imprudently ventured in between the train and the stationary truck whilst the former was in the act of backing into the " siding" where that truck stood. The consequence of such an impru dent step was, that as the man stooped to adjust the chain, his head became jammed between the buffers of the last truck in the goods train and the stationary one. The unfortunate man dropped instantly. He was picked up immediately in a senseless state, with the blood pouring from his ears. A messenger was instantly dispatched to the terminus for a eab, and, on its arrival, the poor fellow was taken to St. George's Hospital, where, upon examination, it was ascertained that he had received a severe fracture at the base of the skull, and the injury was considered of so extensive a nature that his recovery was thought uncertain. SOIREE TO MR. SPENCER HALL.—On Wednesday evening, a soiree in honour of this gentleman, who has been delivering a course of lectures in the principal towns of the North, took place at the Northumberland Arms Hotel, North Shields, which was attended by several medical gentlemen and other influential inhabi tants of the neighbourhood. A. Meggitt, Esq., M.D., presided, surrounded by Messrs. Stephens and M'Kinloy, surgeons; Mr. W. Walker, J. Scott, Esq., J. Lister, Esq., Mr. G. Bradley, editor of the Sunderland Herald, Mr. Blackwood, Mr. S. Sutherland, ironmonger, of South Shields, who had been successfully operated upon in public by Mr. Hall on the preceding evening, &c., &c. J. Owen, Esq , surgeon, of Tynemouth, occupied the vice-chair. After the cloth was drawn, the Chairman proposed the health of their guest, which was drank in an enthusiastic manner. Mr. Hall responded, in an able and feeling spech. Several other toasts were drank, and speeches delivered by different gentlemen, especially referring to the progress which mesmerism has made in this district, and the extraordinary cures w hi c h h ave been effected through its instrumentality. Mr. Hall left on the following morning for Sheffield and London. ESUICIDB IN A WATER-BUTT.—On Thursday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Hope, Po llard's-row, Beth nal-green, on the body of Edward Knight, aged 36, a greengrocer, of Bethnal-green road. It appeared in evidence that deceased had been in a desponding state from ill health fur the last three weeks, and that a few days since his medical adviser toid him be had the small pox. This information caused him to faint, and his despondency increased. On Monday morning his wife missed him from bed, and on raising an alarm, a neigh bour, named Alexander, came, and after some search found him in the water-butt, in the yard, head foremost. Mr. Jones, a surgeon, was called in, and tried in vain to restore animation. Verdict—Temporary Insanity, Dividend Anlount Name of Company. per of Paid. Price. Annum. 18 P 1 ere. ----. --- -- .

She did not give it to him, but said she would see her mother about it. Shortly afterwards the boy came back, and said her mother could not wait, but she must send it, as she was in a hurry. It was not delivered, and the girl found, on making inquiry, that it was merely an impu dent attempt at robbery. On Thursday afternoon a si milar circumstance occurred, when , after delivering the article to the boy, I detained him, and sent for a police. man. When the policeman arrived the boy began to cry, and said he had nothing to do with it, and named two other boys who were waiting in a neighbouring street, who bad sent him. One of them was t o en, when p c h t u a r r e g d e , w w a n the former began to accuse the latter and his comrade, and said, " Yes, Sir, they attempted to get a shawl in the same way here a little time ay." They were taken to the station-house in Blackhorse-court, Fleet -street. where, shortly, the third lad, having beea.nthcea also brought. The nursemaid and the shopman, had witnessed both transactions, attended to charge them with " conspiring to commit a robbery," intriding however,pu rs ue th after ft c e h r a r h g e e ar a i t ng th e Guildhall casettos-adha.?:. The inspector, not strong enough !" and hereupon dism issed the young street prowlers. On my sending word . to him that he bad no right 0 dismiss the case, he replied,." He had to use his own discretion : I might tell who I liked." DEATH OF A DRUNKEN DWARF.-011 Thursday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Royal Crown, Rat cliffe-highway, on the body of John Coggan, aged fifty five, a dwarf, and inmate of St. Georges-in-the-East workhouse. Deceased was only forty -four inches hiO, and formerly used to be exhibited at fairs, &c., throu4,ll,li the country. Smaller competitors rendered him no at tractive curiosity, and for years he had been an inmate of the above workhouse. Whenever he left it for a holi day he was sure to return intoxicated. He went out on Sunday last, and returned in the evening extremely drunk. About four o'clock next morning he complained ofinternal pain, was promptly attended to by Ma Wilson, the workhouse surgeon, but he gradually sank , and died on Tuesday morning. Verdict, " Satura:, death, accelerated by excessiTe drinking." MELANCHOLY DEATH.—The Clare Journal re cords the melancholy death of a little boy who, on Tues day last, followed the gentlemen of the Clare hunt for a -long way on foot, attracted by the excitement , and plea sure of the chase. Ile travelled so far from home, how ever, that getting fatigu ed and losing his way, he lay down in a field when night came on. There he lay the entire night, exposed to all the inclemency of the weather. Next morning he was found still alive, but whilst being conveyed to a•place for proper treatment and care, he expired in the arms of the persons who were taking charge of him. g s. d. •Z s. d.

EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with attention, and 1,319 bags at auction were all sold at steady rates ; white fetched 65s to 665, good 62s 6d, damp and washed 59s 6d to 63s 6d, good sound 3 ellow at 56s to 58s, middling 54s 6d to 555, low 46s to 48s 6d, damp and washed 44s to 53s 6d, sound brown 42s to 445, damp and washed 41s to 425.

FOREIGN.-Although there is still little inquiry after yellow Havannah Sugar, still merchants remain firm, and will not sell but at full prices ; yellow is held for 20s to 235, and brown 18s to 19s 6d per cwt. For white there are not sellers under late quotations. There has been %ome inquiry for brown Brazil, and former terms are offered, but the market is scantily supplied ; white has met with little attention, yet previous rates are in sisted upon. The business transacted privately in other sorts has been trifling, and 278 hhds 185 brls of Porto Rico at auction were taken in at moderate rates, that is to say, fine yellow rather soft at 235, good 20s Gd to 21s 6d, mid 203, washed 20s ad to 235, repacked from loose in ships' hold 16s per cwt.

Pieces are fetching 25s to 275, Bastards yellow 20s to 21s, and brown 16s to 19s. To-day the demand was limited for refined goods, and in some cases the rates taken were rather lower.

TEA.-The market has presented a brisker appearance for Black and Green Tea this week; merchants have manifested firmness, and none has been submitted to public competition ; the general tendency of prices is upwards. The deliveries continue to be as large as ever, and there is no kind of Tea pressing upon the market. For the lower descriptions of Congou there has been an extensive demand from the trade, and the rates paid show an advance on those of the public sales of last week of id per lb, indeed • the market has been nearly cleared of these kinds, com mon has fetched 1 lid to Is, and good common is ofa to is Oid, in other sorts several purchases have been made, and at stiffer rates, rather coarse to rather strong selling at is °id to Is 2d, blackish leaf to blackish leaf rather strong is 3d to is 6d, strong Is 7d to is 10d. blackish leaf Pekoe kind Is II d to 2s 6d r er lb.
