Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference ainitsst solely to the treatment of these diseases.

STACK-YARD BURNED. Early in the afternoon of Sunday last a fire broke out in the stack-yard, on the farm of Hill of Coutie, belonging to Charles Playfair, Esq., of Banchory, while most of the family and servants were sit Aunt). The fire was first noticed by on° of the foreman's children, who ran to its mother, crying there was a fire in the hrtystaek. She and one of the men were the only parties on the premises at the time, with the exception of the children, and they attempted to get the fire put out, but it soon overpowered them and spread with fearful rapidity, and in a very short time the whole stack-yard was enveloped in flames, and every stack (about fifty large stacks) destroyed. The alarm soon spread to the neighbouring farms and Coupar Angus, and a large concourse of people were attracted to the burning, and rendered every as sistance they could. A number of water-barrels had also been sent for from different farms, and they kept up a good supply of water, although, owing to the long drought, there was little, if any, to be got in the immediate vicinity of the farm. However, by keep ing the walls and roof of that nart of the steading nearest to the flames covered with cloth constantly saturated with water, the people succeeded in saving the whole of the steading. All the grain crop was in the yard, with the exception of a few loads, and also all this year's hay, along with a few old stacks. The crop is said to be insured. It is not yet known how the fire originated. It may be mentioned that a woman living in a house a little distance from the farm, and who was among the arils first to discover the first ignited stack, within a few y of which the cattle were housed, succeeded in liberating the cattle. She had not been ten minutes in accomplishing her praiseworthy purpose in getting the cattle beyond danger, when she saw on looking behind her the entire half of the stacks in the yard on fire. The destruc tion became complete, not a sheaf of grain being saved. The amount consumed is as follows : Wheat, 22 stacks ; barley, 12 ditto ; oats, 12 ditto ; peas, 2 ditto ; and about '2,000 stoned of hay. A.l we have alrtady said, it is not known how the fire origi nated, although the prevalent belief is that it occurred with a child playing about the yard with lucifer matches.—Perthshire Courier.

The chief evidence turned upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result. was, that a verdict was givun against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protecting them selves in every case by dun inquiries before the grantinr' f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility o► the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to he diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public arc expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle I 3 counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

The adjourded half-yearlv meeting of this company was held at the offices, 2, Royal Exchange-buildings, yesterday ; Mr. Ger rar d (a director) in the chair. After the usual preliminarie7 The CIIAIRMAN said he had much pleasure in in forming the proprietors that the company bad received their dividend from the South-Eastern Company, and the morey would be distributed among the share holders forthwith, perhaps in a week. He had to apologise for the chairman of the company (Alderman Salomons) not being present that day, on account of his being detained in Germany on business ; but be had desired him to state to the meeting that had he felt any uneasiness at the present position of the com pany, he should have been there; but he considered the late proceedings in the Court of Chancery as utterly futile and abortive. He (Mr. Gerrard) was not aware that he could say more on the subject than what they had seen themselves in the reports of what took place before the court, and the result of which was, that the injunction sought was not granted. But certainly that result might have taken place in terms rather more flattering to the justice of their cause ; for Lord Langdale spoke much of counter equity, as if their cause was not good, except for that counter equity. In all law proceedings there must be more or less of uncertainty; but he could assure them that their legal advisers (and there were none better to be found in the world) were still as firm and confident as ever in the conviction that their lease was valid, and nothing on earth could disturb it.—(Hear, hear.) Haring said this much, and the money being put in the company's hands to pay the present dividend, he would now ca'l on the secretary to read the general account up to the present time, and then they could go on with the resolutions for carrying on the business of the day. The SECRETARY then read the statement of accounts up to the 21 inst.; from which it appeared that on the capital account there had been expended 800,0001., and received 799,3241., leaving a balance of 6761. to be received. The revenue account showed that the receipts for the balf-year from the South- Eastern Company ,amounted to 19,9021. Is. Bd., of which 3,174/. 14s. 2d. had been expended for interest on bonds, leaving 16,7271.75. fid. applicable for divi vidend, which at .ii per cent. would absorb 15,9891. Ifis. 41, leaving a surplus.of 737/. 1 ls. 2d. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the report and the statement of accounts just read be received and adopted. Carried unanimously. : Resolutions, declaring a dividend of per cent., less income-tax, cn the paid capital, and for changing the periods of holding the two half-yearly meetings to March and September, were then submitted to the proprietors, and unanimously adopted. In reply to a question from a shareholder, The CHAIRMAN stated that, under a resolution of the proprietors, the directors would continue to re ceive 1,0001. annually for their services, and that 300/. would continue to be allowed them by the South- Eastern Company for the management of the office of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company. A short discussion relative to the legal proceedings now pending with regard to the lease to the South- Eastern Company then took place, in the course of which the Chairman intimated that the litigation was instituted by a private individual, who was formerly a director in the South-Eastern Board, and the ground of objection alleged against the lease was, th it the Act did not allow this company to grant or the South- Eastern Company to take a lease of this line. It was sought by a mere legal quibble to upset an honour able agreement between men of business ; but even if the decision was unfavourable to this company (of which he had no fear), the South-Eastern Company would be bound in equity and justice to adhere to the bargain wbich,they had solemnly entered into. The board of this company and the South-Eastern board, he was happy to say, cordially co-operated i❑ resist ing this attempt, dictated by personal feelings, to dis turb the existing lease. A vote cf thanks to the Chairman terminated the business. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRI-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE , LONDON. The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 2519 instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for DlM—making together 7001., which hare been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1650, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. klixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurair es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,950/. 16s. 61., of which the annual premiums were 741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to iii,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001, but 1,183/. lls. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur do l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, - the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

The report of tha directors to be presented to the proprietors at the special general meeting and the twenty-eighth half.•yearly general meeting of the South-Eastern Riilway Company, to be held on Thursday, the 19th inst., contains the following state ments : " The directors have to report, that the receipts of the South-Eastern Railway Company for the half-year ending on the 31st July, 1850, have bees 291,2461. 10s. 33.; and the working expenses, 103,9731. 16s. Id. The revenuo account is charged in the present half year with the sum of 19 ; 2941. 4s. 10d., to be added to the fund already laid aside for the renew al of engines, tenders, carriages, and other stock of th e co mpany. The rates and Government duty amount to 25,084/. Is. Id.; the rent of the Greenwich, Canterbury, arid Whitstable, and Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railways; to 37, 9161 . 4s,—which sums, in addition to the interest on the mort gage debt and guaranteed stock of the company , and a provision of 8641. Is. 7(1. for bad debts, make a total deduction from the gross earnings of 218,5751. 2s. 91. leaving,, together with the amount at the credit of profit and loss, after providing for last half-year's dividend, a balance available for dividend of 113,478/. 14s. 7(1. " The total increase in traffic on the main line for the last half-year, as compared with the corresponding half of 1819, is 15,6571. 55. I Id.; of this sum 12,634/. 103. sd. is from passengers, and 3,622/, 155. 6d. from goods, Ste. The returns on the North Kent lino from passengers for last half-year, compared with the preceding one, show a decrease of 4,3211. 9s. 91.; but this is accounted for by the half-year including the month of January getting credit for the large amount received in that month for annual tickets. The decrease of 4,486/. 6s. 6d.. in the receipts from passengers on the Greenwich branch has evidently been occasioned by the abstraction of traffic from that lino to tho North Kent. The ;through-traffic to and from London and Folkestone, Dover, Ramsgate, and Margate, for the half-year ending on the 31st July, 1849, was 53,0891. 15s. 4d.; 31st July, 1830, 62,892/. Ils. 4d.; increase, 9 8021. 16s. _ _ " The communication between Folkestone and Bou logne by a tidal service, leaving one harbour and ar riving at the other, now takes place twice each way in the twenty-four hours; the Boulogne and Amiens Company contributing an a ll owan ce towards the ex pense of the nightly service. Between Dover and Calais the communication takes place three times each way in the twenty-four hours; namely, twice at a fixed hour by the steam•packets of her Majesty's Government and that o f F ranco, an d on ce by the steam ships in connexion with thi s com p an y, 1849, at tide time, al ways leaving one harbou r an d arr iving in the other without the use of boat s; t o thi s serv ice the Northern of company.rrancsßailwa This latter service accornmod.ited 8 . 777 pas sengers sengers last half year, in comp a rison with 4,403 in the Company contributes jointly with thin c orrespondins halt of s h ow i n g an increase of D,OT4 passengers. Between Dover and Ostend her Ma jesty's packets and those of the Belgian Government perform a service from Dover to Ostend every evening (excepting Sunday),and from Ostend to Dover every even ing (excepting Saturday), and a service is also performed by the Belgian Government's steamers, in conjunction with those of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam packet Company, from Ramsgate to Ostend, every Mon day, Wednesday, Thursday, ,and Saturday morning, and from Ostend to Ramsgate every Sunday, Wednes day, Thursday, and Saturday morning, from harbour to harbour. - -- " The 61i hours now occupied in the journey to Mar seines will be materially reduced as soon as railway communication between Paris and Marseilles is corn. buildings, regulating sad pleted, and this route will then , the directors confidently believe, be adopted as tie g ene ral one for the Mediter ranean, the East, and for t he Overl and route to India. i platforms t The connected with the term inus will be completed within " The division of the j oint st ation at the London bridge terminus took pla ce on the 2 d of August, in ac cdoirredettnecres expect wihth a e l th e A l ct two months from the present time, and it is certain that great advantage will then accrue in the management of the traffic. The lease of the Reading, G u ildf or d , and Reigate Railway was sealed by both companies and ex changed on the 15th of March last; the rent payable by this company, of 41,000/. per annum, being at the rate of Si. 2s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the capital of 800,0001., commencing from that date. The directors anticipate a growing traffic on this line, and they trust that, although some time may elapse before it prove re munerative, the proprietors of the South-Eastern Com pany will obtain that credit for promptly maintaining that engagement to which their good faith entitles them. The improvements that were required at the Brick layers' Arms Station for the goods department are , rapidly approaching completion, which is the case also with the accommodation required to be provided on the North Kent and Reading, Guildford, and Reigate lines for the like purpose. " The directors think the proprietors may safely anti cipate a gradual and satisTfhe act tra o ry ffi c increase at Folkestone, of revenuin e li from the goods tra ffi c. merchandise from France, is increasing; the Customs duties received at that port, wh ich . were 4,0081. in 1847, in 1849 8,218/. in 1848, and 42,2601. , • amounted in the last six months to 41,3161., which affords satisfactory evidence of the preference which the port of Folkestone will obtain when it can present equal facilities in all other respects, as well as the advantage of speedy deli very. The South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company are making arrangements for a daily steamer for the carriage of merchandise between Boulogne and Folkestone. Hitherto there has been one on only three days of the week. Conveniences will be provided at the London-bridge terminus for the examination of valuable goods as soon as possible. The establishment for the repairs of carriages and waggons has been removed to the new boildisge at the btatim at Aehf9rd. The % a l etAwit SEPTEMBER 17, 18r0 a • locomotive repairing shops these are being completed according to the original plan. Sixty now-houses for the workmen were built last half-year. The report of Mr. Barlow, the engineer-in-chief of tke company, show; that the line from Ashford to Hastings and St. Leonard's will be Completed in three .weeks, and that the principal portion oVtlie line from Tun bridge Wells to St. Leopards opened in three months. The directors look forward anxiously to the completion of these works as theekeett important step toward closing the capital accoent•f the company. The public sales of surplus propek•ty have already been satis factorily made, and the directors will proceed to dispose of the remainder as circumstances permit. The amount remaining at the credit of the account for the renewal of permanent way, locomotive and other stock, now amounts to the sum of 39,657/. 4s. 6i., after charging that account with the sum of 5,401/. 12s. Id. for renewals effected in the last half ear. The directors are inclined to believe that the amount laid aside by the charge that has been made against revenue for renewals is in excess of the proportion that will hereafter require to be set apart for this purpose; but it is satisfactory to know, that if au error has been committed, it is on the safe side. I❑ accordance with the resolution passed at the last half yearly general meeting of the proprietors, that sal classes of shares in the capital of the company be con verted and consolidated into. capital stock at 301. for each share, and 10/. for each third share, on and after the Ist day of May, 1850. that consolidation has bsen effected. The sum of 616,000/. of the nominal capital of the company is thereby extinguished. That amount may be looked upon as representing 2445041. 6;. 2d. lost by the issue of the original shares at a discount and the sale of forfeited shares; and the stun of 371,4952 I3s. 101 in part of the interest paid to the proprietors of the Nos. 3 and 4 sharer, out of those capitals respectively. The sum of 371,492/. 13a led. so extinguished is to be de ducted from 9,245,029/. 3a. 7d., the total expenditure of the company, as shown in the annexed accounts, which expenditure is thereby reduced to 8,873,5331, 9s. 9d. "The present meeting has been, specially convened for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors resolutions to confirm, if they see fit, the resolutions pissed on the 15th August last, admitting the Nos. 3 and 4 share ! holders to a participation in all dividends to be there ' after declared, including the dividend for the past half year. The amount of the balance at the credit of profit and loss, 113,4781. 14s. 7d., will allow of a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 3 per cent. par annum oa the consolidated stock of the company, &ter providing the guranteed dividend at the rate of 4-A- per cent. per annum on the preferential stock issued. It will be observed that the dividend will be payable on the capital expended on the Ashford and Hastings, and Tunbridge Wells and Hastings lines, which are not yet opened for traffic. The injunction granted by the Court of Chancery to restrain the company from paying a.dividend until the Ashford and Ilastings line is open for public traffic will make it necessary that the resolution declaring a dividend should make it payable after that event has occurred. " At Vie last half-yearly meeting of the company the following resolution was passed:--` That a register of the shareholders of the company, with the amount of shares or stock they individually hold, bo made up and published annually, and that every shareholder be en titled to have one upon payment of Is.' The time has not yet arrived at which it would be necessary to act upon this resolution, and the directors have, theref the opportunity of submitting, for the consideration of the proprietors, the inexpediency of publishing the amount of stock held by each shareholder. The direc tors submit that this publication would prove detrimen tal to the general interests of the company ; and, in order that the proprietors may dispose of the question upon adequate notice, the directors wil: bring it before the meeting. " Since the commencement of the present half-year the traffic has shown symptoms of further improvement, which must be as gratifying to the proprietors as it is to the directors, and looking forward to the Great Exhibi tion of next year, and to the completion of this com pany's lines of railway, and of those from Paris to Mar seilles, the directors trust that they may anticipate an era fraught with greater success to the South-Eastern Company than the past has been. No efforts shall be wanting on the part of the directors to secure the inte rests of the company." Then follow the engineer's and auditors' reports. Voluminous statements of accounts are annexed to the report. The revenue account for the half-year ending 31st July last shows the total receipts to have been 291,2461. 10s. 3d., and the expenditure (includ ing rates, taxes, tolls, and Government duty)148,352/. 25., leaving a balance to he carried to profit and loss account of 142,894/. Bs. 6d. The reserve fund account showed a total (after de ducting the expenditure in renewals for this half year) of 39,6571. 4s. 6d. The returns showed the total number of miles run by passenger, goads, and pilot engines to be 1,059,860 miles, at a cost of 3.3584 of a penny per mile. The statement of the capital account showed the receipts for the half-year to have been 504,7481. 10., which, added to the amount received up to the 31st January, 1850, makes a total of 9,206,012/. Os. 6d., leaving the balance overpaid to the 31st July last 39,017/. 3s. ld. The expenditure for the half-year was 360,7061. 12s. 3d. ; which, added to the amount expended up to the 31st January, 1850, makes a total of 9,245,0291. 3s. 7d. . . 'The debenture account showed a total outstanding on the 31st July last of 1,418,9821, contrasted with a total outstanding on the Ist February last, of 1,156,432/. The return of rolling stock to the 31st July last showed 134 engines (passenger and goods), 224 first class carriages, 123 second-class ditto, 132 third-class ditto, 38 luggage vans, 61 horse boxes, 64 carriage trucks, 1 post-office carriage, and 1,132 merchandise waggons (inclusive: of goods, cattle, timber, &c., waggons and bricks). AWFUL EXPLOSION OF FIRE. WORKS. One of the most frightful explosions of fireworks that have occurred in the metropolis for many years happened yesterday at a few minutes before noon, and speedily laid in ruins a large amount of property, besides'serieusly, if not fatally, inj wring the proprietor of the manufactory, and one of his men. A great ir.any other persons, some living many hundred yards from the immediate scene of the catastrophe, were badly hart, and we regret to state that a lad, in the progress of the engines to render assistance, was knocked down by one of them, the wheels of which paused over his neck and head, and caused his almost instantaneous death. The scene of this disaster was Weaver-street Spi talfield. The premises were in the tenure of Mr. John Clitherow, an artist in fireworks, who carried on an extensive shipping and wholesale business at No. 13, in that street. The building in which the explosion occurred was upwards of 50 feet broad, and was erected at the rear of the private dwelling-house, and divided into three or four compartments. One was used as the i i h In_x_ng...nmA, sinnthpr was tormod tho Ailing-room, and one place, rather larger than the two preceding, was used as a store-house, which was filled with articles of the most explosive charac ter, including fire-balls used for battering or blowing down stone walls, maroons, Roman candles, and rockets. It appears that the first explosion happened in what is termed the mixing -house, at which time only Mr. Clitherow and one of his men were at,vvork. It is supposed that whilst en gaged at their dangerous calling some of the rockets must have fallen to the ground, and that the force of the blow caused them to explode. In an instant a series of loud and fearful explosions followed, which made a noise like the roar of a park of artillery. At the same time some hundred rockets shot through the roof and ascended many feet above the house tops, whilst two men, who have since been ascertained to be Mr. Clitherow and one of bis workmen, were blown out of the building into the yard. They were immediately dragged away. Two young men, named William Cawood and John Elfenbein, had climbed over the back wall in the hopes of rendering assist ance, when another and a still louder explosion than the first happened, and some score of fire •balls and maroons rose to a great height, showering their con tents in every direction. houses -nearly a quarter of a mile distant suffered severely, whilst some buildings nearer were partially riddled, the furniture destroyed, and the occupants thrown into an indescribable state of alarm. The two men who had thus volunteered their assistance were obliged to lie down in order to allow the combustibles to fly over their heads, bUt one was notwithstanding severely ipjured by a fire 7 ball striking his knee-cap. The noise occasioned by the second explosion had scarcely subsided when the contents of the store room became ignited. This part of the factory was in a line with the backs of the houses in Weaver street, whilst Buxton-street bounded it on the other side. New Church-court and another alley, termed Weaver's-court, ran between the factory and the houses further off. But although those buildings so closely surrounded the manufactory they proved of little avail in preventing injury and destruction from extending. When the third explosion, which is de scribed to have been in the magazine as well as the store, occurred, the houses in Weaver-street, Spicer street, Buxton-street, and New Church-court were shaken to their very foundations; window-frernes:were forced from their bearings, the roofs broken in, and the furniture thrown into the utmost disorder or.bro ken into fragments. The force of this third explo sion was so severe that nearly every window in All Saints' National School was forced in and the glass shivered in all directions. In the lower school-room there were 113 infults in the gallery, and a great 1 many of whom wire forced down, but with the excep tion of a few slight cuts, occasioned by the shower of broken glass, escaped unhurt. . . Wh en the explosions bad subs ided, the raeinitfAc. [PRICE SD. tory broke out into a general mass of fire, which at one time threatened destruction to Mr. Dew's timber yard and carpenters' workshops. Fortunately, the engine belonging to Messrs. Trueman and Hanbury, the brewers, two of the parish, several of the Lon don Brigade, and West of England Company quickly attended, and owing to the exertions of all present, the flames were prevented from extending beyond the factory. The moment the fire was extinguished the firemen commenced an inquiry with a view of ascertaining the extent of the mischief done ; but some time must elapse before the whole of it will be known. The following damages were ascertained :—The premises of Mr. Clitherow, used as the firework factory, blown down, the contents consumed, and private residence very extensively damaged, the roof being displaced, window-glass demolished, and furniture much broken. About twenty houses belonging to JNIr. Dew, the builder, in Buxton-street, are very severely damaged. The major portion of the large sheets of plate-glass in the goods depot of the Eastern Counties Rail way in St. John-street, a long distance off, is demolished. All Stints' National School and the church are seriously injured, especially the former building, es scarcely a window is left entire. Numbers 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 in Spicer-street, have the windowelforced in, the roofs broken, and the furniture of the occupants astroyed. Numbers 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19, in Weaver-street, are similarly damaged. On the other side of the same street, the houses numbered 1, 2,3, 4,5, and 6, are extensively shattered and the furniture broken. The Spitalfields Catholic Schools have also received material injury, hut none of the children were hurt. The silk works of Mr. Jeffrey, in front of the factory, have also sustained great damago, and so has the stock•in-trade. The whole of the windows in Mr. Dew's carpenters' workshops aresiernolished,and the roof of his painters' shops forced in. Nearly the whole of the houses on the north side of Spicer-street are also more or less injured. In fact, as far as the eye can reach, nothing but broken glass and roofs displaced can be seen. Mr. Harris, one of the inspectors of the H division, has lost a consider able deal of property, and his son, who was lying ill in bed, had a narrow escape with his life. Almost all the occupants of the above houses were thrown down, but happily, with one or two exceptions, they re ceived only trifling injuries. Mr. Clitherow and his workman, John Wheeler, have been removed to the London Hospital, where they remain in a state of great suffering. • At nine o'clock last night a number of inhabitants of houses in Weaver-street, let out each to several families, were standing in the street afraid to return to their homes lest in the shattered state of the pre mises they should fall upon them. The greater part of their humble furniture had been broken to pieces, the ceilings thrown down upon their beds, and every thing of a brittle character destroyed. We also learned that the whole of the skylights which covered the workshops belonging to Messrs. Link and Sons, musical-string makers, were forced out at the time twelve young women were at work under. The glass fell upon and severely cut several of them. Some idea of the force of the explosions may be formed when it is stated that one of Mr. Dew's workmen was blown from a stack of timber into a sawpit, and Mr. Reynolds, the high constable of the Tower Hamlets, who was as far distant as the Commercial-road, dis• tinctly felt the earth vibrate under him. Mr. J. Cousins, of Fleet-street, Spitalfields, is the owner of several houses in Weaver-street, and the destruction to his property is very great. The buildings were all insured against fire in the Sun office, but the policies of insurance state that the company will not hold it self responsible for any loss occasioned by explosions. It has been ascertained that the youth who was killed by the engine was in the employment of a merchant in the city. 31117 — . GORHAM AT BRAMPFORD SPEKE. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BRAMPF3RD SPEKE, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—This being the day appointed for Mr. Gorham to preach the first sermon in his own church, great interest and anxiety prevailed to see Mr. Gorhain and to hear him preach. Bramford Speke is distant about five miles north-east from Exeter. I got up at an early hour and wandered along from the city of Exeter till I arrived at the church. The walk from the city along the Crediton-road is one of the most romantic walks in Devon, or, perhaps, in England ; there is the carriage -road and a foot-path. The foot-path is cut out of the bank or siding, and in some places it ascends ten or more feet above the carriage road ; then a quarter of a mile level, then descends undulating, till you come on a level with the carriage road, near to the railway-bridge, which crosses the Bristol and Exeter Railway. Along this foot-path there is a noble line of oak, beech, elm, and ever green pine trees, and here and there are seen large trunks of oak and pine trees literally covered with ivy. While walking here you are shaded from the sun, from the east wind, and you can see below vehi cles of every description pass perpendicularly below you. On the left is the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and a few yards from it is the river Ex, gently flowing on the rich fields and fertile meadows, with herds of cattle and flocks of sheep feeding on its banks. I crossed the railway-bridge, then came to Cowley-bridge. From this the traveller sees Cowley house, an elegant mansion of modern architecture. The present occupier is Mr. Shepherd, an Exeter merchant. This house commands a most interesting view, is protected by well-trained and gigantic trees. On my applying for an order to view the grounds, the proprietor courteously gave instructions to his gardener to show me, everything. I was tempted to go inside, and my eyes were dazzled with flowers. There is a hot-house, hot-beds, flower-garden, kitchen-garden, green-house, full of rare and foreign plants; the most interesting part of the grounds is the shrubbery near to the water-side. There are several walks, well-thatched summer-houses, majestic trees, deep pools in the river swarming with fish, six or more swans moving along like phantoms —to me this scene was replete with delight, though I was surrounded by roads and highways, by a railway constructed by a master mind, with its trains careering to and fro—here in this lonely spot, this poetic, this fairy sylvan retreat, in which a man could find a few moments to breathe from the busy scenes of life. On leaving these delightful grounds, whose owner's liberal example it would be well that the Duke of Athol should follow, I turned to the right and pro eeeded along till I came to Pyne, th e scat of Sir Staf ford Northcote. I was told by a venerable old lady who keeps the lodge, that I might go through the park, which I did. I passed Pyne House on the north. The noble owner of these grounds and house is in the 89th year of his age. I could now perceive by the number of people moving onwards, that I was not far from Brampford Speke church. I arrived there exactly at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. The doors of the church were shut till within a few minutes of three o'clock ; on opening the doors there was a rush to obtain seats. I made up my mind not to go far from the door, as the church would not contain half the number of people that were outside.. Several ladies fainted, and were obliged to be removed, scent-bottles were in requisition, hand kerchiefs - were used for fans. Just as the clock had finished striking three, Mr. Gorham entered the church in the deepest and most solemn silence. The primitive choir, who were stuck up in a little gallery, commenced singing the Evening Hymn, and the rough voices of the bold peasantry joined in the chorus. All that is wanted to make it a most in teresting and delightful country choir is a few more female voices. After the usual formal prayers were gone through, Mr. Gorham read the certificates from Sir H. J. Fust empowering him to preach. He read the text from St. James, chapter Ist, and part of the 21st verse, " Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls," from which he preached, in my humble opinion, a very good sermon, plain and simple. The whole service was conducted with the solemnity and respect which is usually observed in places of worship.' On leaving the church I asked a countryman if he liked Mr. Gorham'. preaching ? lie replied, " Yes, he be a good man—he preached a plain sermon, and that's the man I likes," and I agree with this worthy man. Mr. Gorham'a preaching is simple but impres sive. I suppose there never was such a crowd of people seen at Brampford Speke since the church was built. On my return to the city of Exeter I am told that the Bishop of Exeter preached also an impressive sermon in the Cathedral to-day. Let the Bishop preach impressive sermons there, and Mr. Gorham good and simple ones at Brampford Speke, and, per haps, some good may come out of all this contention. There were at least twenty gentlemen of the press present—not reporters—but gentlemen who are in the habit of writing in the first person plural. Among theml saw Mr. Latimer, the Bishop's terrifrator. ANOTIIER ACCOUNT. EXETER, SUNDAY EVENING.—Mr. Gorham entered on his pastoral duties last week," read himself in" this ['darning, and preached his first sermon this afternoon. In consequence of the great interest which the disputes between the rev. gentleman and the Bishop of Exeter have excited, ti large number of persona visited the takes in thesld and romantic hills which estretest‘ . , itowards Crediton. The road to Brarnpford was (1 ." 1 4.4 NI thronged with parties proceeding thither. The village • itself was crowded like a fair, and the proprietors of the - two rival inns of the place, which are of the ordinary rustic inn character, must have felt well content thct differences of opinion have not ceased. The village is not only pleasantly situated, but exceed ingly healthy. Mr. Gorham's immediate predecessor, the Rev. John Mudge, held the living for nearly 48 years, having been appointed in 1790. His predecessor held the living for 52 years, making acentury between the two divines, and no two vicars ever passed a hundred years in a more pleasant abode. Mr. Gor ham himself has a wiry and vigorous frame; indeed, a man compounded of stuff less stern might have been worried out of existence by the long and trying conflict in which he has had to engage. He took high honours at the University, having been Second Wrangler, and is deeply read in divinity. He came up in the early part of the past week to make arrange ments for settli ng hi s f amily at the rectory. Whilst doing this he received the ordinary official circular from the Bishop, which directs the clergy to prepare for confirmation those of their young parishioners who have not undergone that right. Mr. Gorham assem bled them at the rectory-house on the evenings of Tuesday and Friday, and there gave them such in struction as he deemed fitting, taking especial care, it is understood, that they should not adopt the view which the Bishop holds on the sacrament of baptism. The church was crowded this morning. Mr. Gor ham did not preach, but read the 39 Articles, and added his unfeigned assent and consent to the same, in accordance with the statute. The afternoon service commenced at three o'clock, and as it was generally known (it having been stated in the Western Times) that he would then preach his first sermon, a very large concourse assembled. Exeter contributed a considerable number, and all the surrounding villages added their full proportion. Some parties came from a considerable distance. The little church was crammed —the pews were all packed full, and the aisles and every corner where standing room could be ob tained were occupied by an orderly and attentive con gregation. Mr. Gorham read prayers. His voice is clear and distinct, and his emphatic style of reading might be imitated with advantage in many of the Devonshire churches. At the conclusion of the prayers the rev. gentlemen proceeded to make the declaration pre scribed in respect to the Book of Common Prayer, as follows :—" I, George Cornelius Gorham, bachelor of divinity, do hereby declared my unfeigned assent and consent to all and everything contained and prescribed in and by the book entitled ' The Book of Common Prayer, and Administration of the Sacraments, and other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church according to the use of the United Church of England and Ire land; together with the Psalter or Psalms of David, pointed as they are to bo said or sung in churches ; and the Form or Manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of Bishops, Priests, end Deacons.' " H e then read the certificate of Sir Herbert Jenuer Fust, setting forth the authority under which that learned judge had acted in the case, and stating that Mr. Gorham had on the fith of August personally appeared before him and subscribed the declaration of con formity to the Liturgy of the Church of England, in accordance with the 13th and 14th of Charles 11., the Act of William and Mary in respect to the oaths of suprsmacy, and the Act of Union. This fact was witnessed by " William Townsend, Registrar of the Arches' Court." Mr. Gorham added, that he should feel obliged if the two churchwardens and one or two of the principal parishioners would be good enough, at the conclusion of the service, to witness the ap peintedeforin of his having declared his assent and consent to the Articles and Liturgy of the Church. These formalities being concluded, the rev. gentle man gave out the psalm, and when it bad been sung proceeded to deliver his sermon. It was an energetic discourse. The text was in the General Epistle of St. James, chap. 1, part of the 21st verse—" Receive with meekness the engrafted word, w hich is able to save your souls." The sermon referred theiChristian to the Scriptures for the foundation of his belief, and charged him to consult them in the spirit of prayer, humbly and meekly. There was no direct allusion to the conflict in which the rev. gentleman had been so long engaged, save in the commencement a passing reference to his" peculiar circumstances" in addressing his flock for :he filet time, which made this text so suitable to begin with ; but he might be considered as attacking the dogmas which he opposes by the strenuous way in which he asserted what he con sidered the claims of the Scriptures. He concluded by adverting in the slightest possible manner to the extraordinary circumstances under which his minis tration strong them hi d iommenced, marked, as it had been, by manifest and providential interposition. He besought his parishioners to let a connexion so begun continue in harmony and advance in love. He was their appointed minister, and the time was hastening on when God's ministers would have to give an ac count of their stewardship, and when their hearers would have also to account for their opportunities. He adjured them so to live and act as that, by God's grace, there should he no fear for the end. The congregation then departed in a quiet and peaceable manner. The parishioners appear to receive Mr. Gorham in a very friendly spirit, and it is said that lie has nothing to apprehend from the critical disposition of the churchwardens, who are plain m en , not at all disposed for abstruse polemics. The 'Squire (Mr. Furdson) and his family were among the con gregation. RIOT AT THE MORMON CHAPEL, SPALDING. On Sunday afternoon a great disturbance was caused in the neighbourhood of Double-street, Her ring -lane, and Broad-street, by the proceedings of the Mormons, or Latter-day Saints. As we announced some time back, these people have opened a room (attached to the Crane Inn, for merly used as a dancing-roam), as a place of worship. Hiving announced at the close of their services that the " elder," by whom they were conduced, would readily answer any questions which might be put to him, several parties, on the Sunday afternoon and evening previous, went and questioned the " elder; so as quite to dumfound that worthy. In order to prevent the repeti►ion of an occurrence so likely to deter others from joining, and so calculated even to shake the faith of some of the elect themselves in their system of belief, a council of war was held, and it was determined to prevent the admission of any, save the elect, or those introduced by them. Unaware of this, great numbers presented themselves at the doors on Sunday afternoon last, but were denied admittance by a "saint" placed outside. One gentleman, upon being so denied, politely inquired of the individual if he were placed there as a specimen of the inside lot, at the same time expressing an opinion, that if that were the case, admission among such a scurvy crew would be by no means desirable. The " saint" cer tainly bore the taunts with which he was assailed by the assembled mob with exemplary patience, but when a great addition to their numbers caused them to grow bolder, and threats of storming the fortress were in dulged in, he thought it prudent to retire within. Soon a party led the way to the attack ; the door was torn open, but here an unexpected obstacle presented itself in the shape of a huge, burly fellow, armed with a rolling-pin, who completely blocked up the "strait and narrow" staircase leading to the Mormon elysium. The mob, however, were not to be thus baulked ; a desperate onslaught was made; and about 30 of the assailants made their entrée into the place. The superintendent of police then arrived, and, after quiet ing the mob outside (which was very large), entered the chapel. Several of the right sort were then ad mitted, but the mob were determined that, as they could not get in, no one else sho u ld, an d f or some time barricaded the door effectually, preventing all ingress or egresP. Notwithstanding the uproar, the " saints" endeavoured to proceed with their service, but even while singing the sound was at times completely over powered bythe yells and cries of the mob and the scuffling upon the staircase. After peace was partially re stored, the elder commenced a harangue, in which he stated his belief that every person in the town of Spalding was undoubtedly doomed to everlasting damnation, save and except himself and a chosen few, who had their salvation entirely in their own hands, with power to save just whom they might feel disposed. At first be began in a hesitating strain, but warmed as he got more into the subject, tossing •his arms about wildly, shaking his head, stamping his feet, and raving frantically, till he quite foamed at the mouth, and at last, from sheer exhaustion, he sat down. Upon this a respectable looking young man stepped forth, politely requesting to be allowed to put a few questions to the maniac—a request which, after some consideration, was agreed to. Several straightforward questions were then proposed, but the " elder," in stead of quietly answering, commenced a denuncia tion of the sinfulness of those assembled. Not in the least daunted, the questioner manfully kept his ground, and the Mormons, not being prepared to an swer, and seeing it impossible to put him down, raised a cry of " Turn him out." This was easier said than done; part sided with the Mormons, and part against them, and a general fight ensued, bonnets were broken, coats torn, and hats smashed. Th e mob outside, bearing the row within, made a rush, and another section gakied admittance. The ques tioner got his coat slit up the back by a Mormon, who, in return, was rather roughly handled. The police, after a time, again restored quiet. A hymn was then sung, and the meeting separated. In the evening a second meeting was held, and a large mob collected in front of the place, but owing to the precautionary measures which had been taken, no disturbance of any consequence. took place.
