THE WAr OP DEATH.

ritilllTOL BOILS' EirwatOlt AT HANLET.—,About
20 minutes before 12 o'clock oa Monday, the inhabitants
of the lower parts of the town of Hanley were startled
by • loud report, which shook the windows of the
house. Simultaneously there was I tremendous out-
burst of steam, which proceeded (rain the fames of
Earl Gram rills, ea UN Etruria-road, about a quarter of
a mile from the town. It was soon ascertained that •
boiler, one of many coonected with the extensive estab-
lishment, where iron is forged and rolled, had burst,
and that several lives had been inatuttheously sacri-
ficed, besides limey eariona injuries being sustakied,
several of which. it is expected, will prove fatal. The
bodir which exploded it one which we. ooeanet.d with
the movement of the machinery in the pudd-hesse.
It was nearly new, of the tubular dasenpano, flied up-
right, and built around with brick. The force of the
explosion woe manifested by the gusts put of the
mass of the boiler (all, indeed, except • few fragesents
of the bottom) being lifted high in the air, and carried
150 yards away in the direction of Cobridge. Aroong
aim killed at once was the engine tooter, whom anti.
lad remains were found tinder a portion of the interior
tubular part of the boiler, and about 90 yards from the
site which it had occupied. It is supposed that he was
carried thus far by the violence of the explosion, when
the part mentioned, separating from the main mass of
the boiler, fell as it was found, crashing the grown of
his head quite fiat. Two men and • bee were killed in
the adjacent puddling.house, iii. believed, by the falling
mass of brick and rains blown through the roof,
which, on the side towards the boiler, was nearly shat-
tered to pieces. A labourer was also killed who was
engaged in wheeling • barrow micros the yard. A tall
and massive iron-clamped chimney, falsely contiguous
to the boiler, is meth rent, and the furnace nod other
headings, many seas cf yards disbud, bear evidence
of the violence with which the Webs which surrounded
the boiler hare been throws, against them. Fragments
of bricks were also strewn about the yards. Al II p.m
en Tuesday it was known that five or six men end • boy
pee dead, and it was sinoared that another was an
IN point of expiring. Seventeen persons have also
, beeu removed to the North 'Staffordshire Infirmary,
more or leen idjured. The sue a the explosion can-
not yet be assertained.
