The struts and braces appeared to be particularly well put together. The wood was of the best quality, and all the materials were certainly quite new. The trusses appeared to him cal culated to carry ten times the weight that was likely to be upon them. A juror said the man Downer had also stated on the platform at Sydenham that a similar accident had oc curred at the same place about two months ago. 430 1 ...... ,--, Downer wa3 again recalled, and again it appeared that his communication on this point was equally groundless. He had been "given to understand" that the same scaf folding had fallen, but he knew nothing of hie own knowledge, for he had never worked at the Palace. Mr. Henderson felt it right to explain that an accident had occurred a few weeks ago, and special care had been taken by strengthening the struts in all the parts of the scaffold, to prevent the recurrence of a similar disaster. The former accident bad arisen from a high wind, and plenty of warning was given for all the men to get oat of danger. The present accident was a totally different matter. - • • 5.,•• • al; r • 11, . = , . • 4 t r 4 • • ttAf. • „/iA7,.• , • " 4 .4 17"; .11 7 1.1 1 o lf 4 ' 17. •:\ 41 : 1:41" 111111 k-: 1 1 1 1 /1 4 - , • ,••• -rvy ft,* i L , 4 , .„p ° , 6 , 14 0 - 7: : ; \V- '''l / 4 • P‘ H kt. , A /7 ~ NTEro 'PUN INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.- O NTINUATION of MARCUS'S CHEAP EXCU R S DN3 C LONDON to DUBLIN and BACK. ases• __P rat class ...• • • ••• • • • ******* • • • ***** Paolo . 355.

The friends of eight of the ten deceased persons lying at Sydenham had selected this locality as the last resting place for their remains, and a grave sixteen feet deep had been dug for their reception. The day was observed as a solemn holiday in the district, and there was a total cessation of all work within the Palace. The mournful procession formed in the central nave, and as the clock chimed three it slowly emerged from the building, headed by the foremen of the various departments of the works, and wended its way along the beautiful road which con ducts to the church. Each coffin was followed by its own particular mourners, and at the rear of the last came the whole body of the workmen, numb erin g some thousand p ersons , clad in respectable mourning, and headed by Sir Charles Fox, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Cochrane. In its course the procession was swelled by fresh additions, until when it reached the church there dofr e m u st tshse h tobo ave been between 2,000 and 3,000 persons follow ing.

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now e,tablishe beyond all oubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application andd innoxious ind itself. The high prce at which it has hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this obstacle to its universal ap Jlication as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Che_nists and Shipping Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels at Os. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with Instructions for its dilution and use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with 200 times its quantity of water.

Fox and Henderson, invariably make a provision for the widows of workmen who lose their lives in their service, by a weekly allowance ( f from 10s. to 125., continued over periods of not less t pan twelve months ; and what is, perhaps, really more im portant and beneficial to them, the firm invariably take charge of the orphan children and introduce them to habits of industry in their own service.

MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Aimed more m isery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-aoquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various fo rms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is abaolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the hday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these p may b ey e mitigated, bow the st in g of their bitterness may be remov enalties ed, and how the evil and itscon,equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is ocareely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d er angement to which the time l y aid of science cann years ot been yngaged ap a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long sere In an extensive practice in then reatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qlified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree.

L. Coroner—Now will you describe the course of proceed ing adopted in fixing the scaffolding ? Witness—At one end of the transept there are five tiers of galleries raised against the north wall, each 24 feet wide. On the fifth or top gallery, it being a good platform for the men to work upon, we put up two of the lower trusses forming part of the scaffolding. Coroner—Now describe to us what is a truss. Witness—lt consists of an iron tie-bar at the bottom. Coroner—Can you sketch it ? The witness did so, and added in explanation that the lower connecting piece was a horizontol tie-bar, consist ing of several pieces of wrought iron riveted together, its total length being something more than 120 feet. 'he upper part is a horizontal strut of timber, and between this strut and the iron tie-bar are a series of diagonal struts, also of timber. There are two bars, one on each side of the strut ; each bar is six inches by half an inch, and in their proper position they are placed edgeways. The tie-bars consist of a number of pieces of wrought iron fastened together by joint plates and rivets. [The witness illustrated his meaning by a sketch.] The upper part of the truss is composed of a strut, which is made of timber, because it is in compression. The truss itself is composed of a certain number of equilateral triangles, each of which has a side of 30 feet deep, so that the vertical height is about 26 feet from the tie-bar to the strut. The struts are in shape something like a boat. The sides bulge, and there are pieces of wood placed to prevent them from collapsing, and they are strengthened with iron bolts to prevent them from widening. The equilateral triangles which extend from the iron tie-bar to the longitudinal strut, are of the. same formation as the latter, and are also called struts. Six of these trusses had been completed, and the seventh was in process of construction, when the accident occurred. The seventh was the last truss required for the north side of the transept. The sixth gave way first' and brought the seventh and fifth trusses down with it. It is necessary I should explain that on the top of these lower trusses are placed a second series of trusses, bringing the scaf folding nearer to the crown of the arch. These upper trusses were not completed over the fifth and sixth lower trusses. On Monday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, the men were upon the sixth truss, putting the seventh together. Coroner—How were the trusses raised to their proper position ?—Witness—We hoist them up by means of blocks and falls to a level with the gallery floor. The first and second were formed upon the gallery floor. The first formed the outer truss at the extreme end of the building, and the second was moved forward twenty four feet into its place. To construct the third truss a stage was made on the tie-bar of the second. We then hoisted up the necessary pieces to the stage, and when all was complete we moved this out to its place, twenty four feet further into the transept. Then the fourth was formed on the tie-bar of the third, the fifth on the fourth, and so on. The Coroner—Having examined the scene of the acci dent, and the fallen materials, are you able to discover the cause of the trusses giving way I—l am totally un able to account for it. Something must have broken Anewhere, that we know, because the thing came down. Whether the timber gave way first, or whether it was one of they struts, or a. casting that broke, I cann6c say. Examination in chief—l had no doubt myself of the perfect safety of the process we adopted, otherwise I should not have gone upon it, as I did myself frequently, or have directed other persons to go upon it. I never heard any man say he considered the scaffold unsafe, nor was such an idea ever suggested to me. I never heard men express any fear of the trusses, but some men would be afraid to go upon them, on acconnt of their height. The plan of the trusses was suggested by Mr. Hender son and myself. It was something very like the plan adopted at the old building in Hyde-park. The same system of trusses is in constant use in building railway bridges and other permanent works, but I am not aware that the plan of moving forward the trusses is generally adopted. We intend, for the future, to raise a scaffold from the ground. We shall do this for greater caution, simply because we cannot ascertain how the recent acci dent originated. I wish to add, in reference to a former question, that though I have never heard men complain of being obliged to work on this transept scaffold, I known them express disappointment at not being al lowed to do so. It was considered the "biggest job" in the place, and they had all a desire to be at it. I was in the office when it gave way. The trusses up to the fourth are all remaining standing. The fifth, sixth, and seventh are all down, and the materials forming them shattered. Henry Wilbee was next examined. He said—l am a foreman of carpenters in the employ of Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., and superintended the fixing of the scaffold for the central transept of the new palace. I have spent a great deal of my time on the scaffold, and was there about twenty minutes before the accident happened. I have been engaged in works of this cha racter for sixteen years. The plans for this scaffold were placed in my hands before a timber was laid. I ap proved of them, and expressed every confidence in the mode of construction. At the moment of the accident the men were engaged in fixing in the iron bolts to se cure the tie-bar of the seventh truss, preparatory for the r ivetters. I cannot tell the cause of the sixth truss hav ing given way. The materials of which it was composed were new, and of the best quality—the timbers as well as the iron work were all new. Mr. Ballantine—A little error has crept into the papers of this morning on this subject. An impression seems to have existed that the timbers forming the trusses came from the old palace. This was not so. Coroner—Just describe to us how the ends of each truss rested on the columns. Witness—There is a " half-timber" placed upon the top of the girders. The girders are from column to co lumn. Each end of the tie-bar rested upon this " half timber," and when the truss was completed and properly secured, it was moved along by "prising" each end with a crow-bar. The " half timber" was lashed to the top of the girder by ropes. These " half timbers" are not disturbed where the trusses have fallen. The weight of each truss would be about 5 tons to 51 tens. I cannot 'at all account for the accident. Sir Charles Fox was next examined—He said, I am a civil engineer, and, in conjunction with Mr. Henderson, am a contractor for the erection of the new palace. I was not present when the accident occurred. The works generally have been under the superintendence of my partner, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Cochrane, in conse quence of my having been very m uch abroad ; but in ference to this particular work my opinion has been asked on more than one occasion, and we have together gone very carefully into the consideration of it. I was perfectly aware of the plan on which these trusses were about to be erected. It was submitted to me before it was adopted, and I approved of it. I saw the works on several never occa sions during the time they wer e in progress, and it nsafe in the occurred to me that the re was an y thing exec ution. If it had I sho uld never e u allowed the men to work there. I was upon tnheaspote fearly mince morning after the accident. Upo tion I have been quite unable to make any discovery as to the cause. I be lieve it to be quite impossible to die cover the cause for these two reasons. In the first place the parts which have fallen are soottirooougholfy w br h o a k t eto n w p i ece s that you cannot form a the proximate cause of the acci n lent and in the second s place those which f ell at the time they gave way were no t bearing more than a third, and I should think not more than a fourth, of the weight borne by those that are now standing. Those which are standing have to ca rry, first, their own weight, they have then to carry a scaffold at the top of the lower portion. They have added to them a top truss, and above that there is an other row of scaffolding, together with a large quantity of boarding, &C., necessary in the construction of the works. As far as I can compute the trusses now stand ing, and which appear in every respect equal to the at purpose for which they were designed, are beari ng l ea st three times the load which those which have falle n res b i r s e te ak d eve r did bear. But, more than this,econsidered e tlle y had the tremendous wrench which was necessaryt o ground the the connection between the fourth and fifth trusses. in Had we constructed a scaffolding from the way we now propose doing, it would not w have been neces sary to use these trusses ; but ere sea d fithoislaafrboetm ter and a safer mode, becaus e to erecte the ground 180 feet high is a very serious job.

Observe, opposite the York Hotel Mr. William Ward, an architect, proved having been much engaged at that portion of the building where the accident happened. He was not at present profes sionally engaged at the Palace, but had been so some time since ; and feeling a great interest in this peculiar scaffold, had been many times to see it during its pro gress. He was there for this purpose when the acci dent occurred, and was standing . within 24 feet of the portion that gave way. He observed a slight vibration of the timbers forming the sixth and seventh trusses, and immediately afterwards the whole of the last three trusses fell to the ground, carrying the men with them. The struts near the centre appeared to break up as they fell. Witness had no doubt whatever of the safety of the principle upon which the scaffold was erected, or he would not have gone upon it himself. Thiaclosed the evidence, and The Coroner then said : Now, gentlemen, I should ask you what course you may think it desirable to adopt in addition to the evidence you have already had. It appears to have entered the minds of some gentlemen of the jury that it might perhaps be desirable to see the place. I have a great idea myself_ of localities, and I know that a great deal is sometimes accomplished by an inspection of the spot where an accident has occur red. Perhaps you may. think, however, after what you have heard, that that is unnecessary, and that you are now sufficiently acquainted with the details and particulars of the place to enable you to form a just conclusion. If you wish to see the spot, lam sure that every facility will be afforded you for doing so. But it is for you to say whether you think that necessary. The case, as at present before us, seems to be that there has been adopted somewhat ofa new principle in erecting the trusses for the purpose of placing the roof over the building, and that something like it had been adopted at the old palace at the west end of the town so that it is, therefore, not quite a new, but something of a new principle. It appears there was a gallery at the north end of the transept, from which they began to work, and they thought, therefore, that it would not require any scaffolding underneath the trusses to raise them—having a gallery to start from, they thought that would be quite sufficient. Sir Charles Fox is of course a party concerned in this matter, and therefore, though we have the fullest assurance that be would not utter a word that he did not conscientiously believe to be correct, yet of course you will take every man's evidence as it is given you ; and if you find a man connected in any way with the building, so that his mind may possibly, and almost im perceptibly, have a bias without intending to say any thing wrong, you will give such credit to that opinion as you think it entitled to. There are other persons also connected with the building who have given the same opinion, and we have also had Mr. Ward, the lasf gentleman examined, who is not now connected with it, but who was there for a scientific purpose, and all agree in stating that the mode adopted was in their judgment perfectly safe and judicious. Then, that being so, if you think that that was in their judgment a perfectly safe and judicious course, there can be no criminality attached to any person with regard to this case. If you should be of opinion that they really thought that this was a safe mode of doing the work, and that the accident was the result merely of an error in judgment—even if it were so much as that—of course you may remove from your minds any question of criminal responsibility attaching to any person, because none can exist. Were it otherwise, no man would ever . venture upon a new invention, or upon the application of a novel process. No man would be safe in making an experiment if you were to carry the law to the extent of saying that be cause a man is fairly endeavouring to bring about some new method of doing something that bad not been done before, he shall be criminally responsible in the event of death unfortunately resulting. You would put a stop to everything like inventive genius, or the attainment of scientific objects. The question is, whether you con sider that these persons went recklessly to work in con structing this scaffold, and whether it was such a foolish and improper thing as no person in his senses would attempt, because in such a case you would say that any man or set of men who acted so rashly must be responsible for all the consequences. Here, however, you have the opinion of several persons that although this was a some what new invention, yet in their judgment it was a perfectly safe one ; and certainly if they had not thought it was so, they would not have trusted themselves upon it. They had described the manner in which the work had been done, and I do not know that you would gain much more information even if you saw the trusses in their present position. This is for you to judge of, however. If you wish to see them, of course you can do so ; but it will only lead to your meeting here again. If your minds are not satisfied as to thi., construction of the work, and you like to take that trouble, every opportunity will be afforded you ; but if you think, as appears to me most completely, that there is no ground for saying that this was a reckless, or foolish, or unadvised mode of pro ceeding, and that no person in his senses ought to have thought of doing anything so rash or reckless, then that which has happened in pursuit of that which is lawful can be no more than an accident. You have already had, I trust, sufficient evidence to satisfy your minds, as it has done mine most completely, that this is the result of an accident which happened to that machinery, or scaffolding, whichever it may be termed, which no hu man foresight could have seen so as to have prevented. You see they have carried out four trusses, which are now standing complete and uninjured. They had also carried out the fifth and sixth trusses, which were stand ing safely at the time of the accident. Then only at the last, from some unaccountable cause, which nobody seems able to explain, the trusses Nos. 5,6, and 7 all came down together, and these lives are unfortunately sacri ficed. If you think, as I before observed, that this scaf fold was fairly erected on scientific principles, by men who understand their business, and who really thought that they were doing that which was perfectly safe, then the result, however unfortunate, can be none other than accident. You have put questions with a view of ascer taining whether any improved or safer course can be adopted with regard to these matters in future; but you have heard front gentlemen connected with the works, that they do not intend to persevere with the present mode, because, though they were at first satisfied that it was perfectly safe, yet inasmuch as something has hap pened which they cannot account for, they think it safer, and it is highly creditable of them to say so, not to fol low out the erieinal plan, but to adopt some other which they think would be freer from doubt as to the result. They intend, therefore, to adopt another course, by which injury may be prevented in future. It appears to me that this is purely an accident. The men no doubt have died from the effects of the injuries they received, and if any person could tell us what occasioned the trusses to give way, then the good which would result from pursuing this inquiry would be, that it would operate as a caution to others to avoid the mischief which has occurred in this instance. No one seems to know what the cause of the accident was, and I do not think that either from looking at the pieces that now remain or at those which have fallen, that you will be one whit nearer the mark. Those who were upon the spot, and have examined it carefully, cannot tell, and I do not think if you were on the spot that you could tell either ; still if you think it desirable to have a view, of course you can do so, and then you can return your ver dict either to-day or any other day you choose to appoint. We know that under the most favourable auspices acci dents may happen, and this appears to me to have been one of those unfortunate cases which no human foresight could have prevented. They did that which they thought was best, but an unfortunate result ensued. Still that does not amount, either in law or in common sense, to more than an accident. It is for you to judge of the case. If you wish to have a view, you shall do so ; if not, you will please to consider your verdict ' • and I think you will have no diffi cu l ty in deciding that this was an accident. Be kind enough to consult together, and tell me which course you prefer taking.

Her Majesty embarked at Cowes this morning at ten o'clock on board the steam-yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Crispin, and steamed up to Spithead. On nearing the anchorage the Rolla, naval apprentices' instruction brig, Lieutenant Fenwick in command, led off a general Royal salute by the whole of the fleet, which had a most imposing effect from the shore. The Royal Yacht steamed through the line to the head of the fleet, when her Majesty left her yacht, and embarked in the State barge for the Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., and the fleet was signalled to prepare for weighing. The squadron about to pro ceed to sea under the command of the Queen in person, consisted of the Duke of Wellington, 131, (flag) ; Aga memnon, 91, Captain sir Thomas Maitland, C.B. ; Im perieuse, 50, Captain Watson, C.B. ; Arrogant, 46, Captain Fremantle ; Highfiyer, 21, Captain Moore ; Desperate, 8, Captain Chambers ; and Encounter, 14, Captain O'Callaghan—accompanied by the Victoria and Albert, Elfin, Royal Yacht, Master Commander Ballis ton ; Fire Queen yacht, Master Commander Paul ; and Sprightly, tender, Acting Master Commander Allen. Steam being up, the Duke of Wellington signalled to weigh, herself being the first to " move on ;" she got away in 84 minutes from the time of making the signal, and it is but just to note that all the other ships showed similar alacrity. Each having taken the station allotted to her, the squadron proceeded towards the Channel, steering a S.S.E. course, in the following order : Port Division. Starboard Division. Agamemnon. Duke of Wellington. Encounter. Impdrieuse. Desperate. Arrogant. Victoria and Albert. I Highflyer. They stood out to sea, and were soon lost to sight from land. No one but the naval authorities was aware of the intention of the Queen to visit the fleet to day, and civilians were, consequently, unable to go on board and witness the day's cruise. At four o'clock the Royal squadron was seen again, through the haze in the distance, making for Spithead, the Duke leading ; but. in coming within the circle of the anchorage the Agamemnon overhauled her, and the force came up in the same order as at starting. At 5.30, the fleet which was left at Spithead—the Queen, 116, the Prince Regent, 90, the London, 90, the Blenheim, 60, the Edinburgh, 56, the Amphion, 34, the Gefion, 48, and the Amazone, 12 (Prussian), and the paddle frigates Sidon, 22, the Odin, 16, the Leopard, 12, the Vulture, 16, the Magicienne, 16, the Vesuvius, 6, the Barracouta, 6, the Banshee, 2, &c., fired a general Royal salute to greet the Queen's return ; and, as soon as the smoke cleared away, the crews were discovered on the yards, ready to cheer her as she passed through the line homewards. Her Majesty left the Duke of Wellington at 5.45, and returned to her yacht fur Osborne. During the absence of Captain Scott, of the 0 lin, oz 24 hours' official leave, while moving the Odin into line, Commander Geo. Parker, of the Barracouta steam-sloop (who was towing the Olin), let her fall foul of the High flyer. The latter has lost by the movement jib and fly ing jibboom. The Odin has a couple of boats destroyed and a good deal of superficial damage done. The Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master Com mander Belam, arrived in harbour this morning from Pembroke, bringing round the party of riggers that was sent down about the Cnsar. The Edinburgh, 56, steam-ship, Captain Hewlett, will leave Spithead on Saturday, on threw weeks' cruise. The Tribune, 30, steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T.

Her crew were paid two months' advance yesterday. The steam block-ship James Watt, 90, having been coppered, was taken out of dock yesterday. The St. Jean d'Acre screw line - of-battle-ship, Capt. the Hon. H. Keppel, will probably be ready for sea this week.
