John Crowder, living in Math-street, -green,
sad following the humble occupation of a porter,
has been deprived of many years' savings by
the felonious art. He stated that on the evening of
the 2nd inst. he left home, and that when he returned
after an hour's skeence he found the premises forced at the
rear, the whole homes in confusion, and the money sod pro-
perty, among the latter of which were fifteen silver spoons,
watches,
pins, 'anima, wearing apparel, and two silver
miming. Not anything °odd be ascertained of the
thief or the disposal of any of the articles until Dunaway, a
detective of theH dividers, roadeadimovery which connected
the prisoner with the treamotioe in the following manner.
Goolan—or rather Attie, that being his right name—was
recently apprehended on the confestion of an accomplice
for participating in a burglery at the Bell public-hones,
Chezeketreet, Betheallgreen, and a moat frightful assault
with a }slimy on policooonstable Thomas, fd division, who
endeavoured to take him into custody at the time—the cir-
comsteaces attendant upon which duly appeared. He was
remanded twice from this court, and on one occasion very
nearly effected escape by brcaloing through the ceiling of
the cell. When at the House of Detention he sent for a
man Teamed whom he asked to bail him out. This
was refused, but ' consented to lend him money
on a watch ; the wa i subsequently was taken to
Harding by a woman calling herself Attle's wife,
but whose right name is Bell, and she got 225.

and obtained poesessim of the watch, which, when shown
Ito the psaaxator Crowder, he not only identified as
one of those stolen frost his house, but pointed out his
I mime engraved on the inside of it.
The prisoner now said that however that might be, behind
bought it of a man named Morris Abrahams, and was inno-
cent of the charge brought spittle him.
Dummy swore that on bringing prisoner to the oourt he
overheard him to the woman—" Whatever you do take

PEARPUL BOILER EXPLOSION AY HANLEY.

About twenty minutes before twelve o'clock yes-
terday, the inhabitant of the lower parts of the town of
Hanley were startled by aloud report, which shook the win-
dows of the hoses. Simultaneously there wasa tremendous
csatlianit of steam, which proceeded from the furnaces of
Bari Granville, on the Etruria-road, about a quarter of •
mile from the town. It was soon ascertained that • boiler,
we of nisei connected with the extensive establishment,
where hoe is forged and rolled, had burst, and that several
lives bad been instantaneously sacrificed, besides essay
serious injuries being sustained, several of which, it is ex-
pected, will prove fatal. The boiler which exploded is one
which was connected with the movement of the machinery
in the peddling house. It was newly new, of the tubular
description, fixed uptight, and built around with brick.
The force of the explosion was manifested by the greater
=the mass of the boiler (all indeed except a few
ta of the bottom) being lifted high in the air, and
carried 150 yards away in the director' of Oobtidge.
Aiscmg Chow killed at once wee the engine tenter, whose
satiated remains were found wider a portion of the
interior tubular part of the boiler, and about 30 yards
from the site which it had occupied. It is supposed that
he was earned thus far by the violence of the explmios.
when the part mentioned,separating from the main mans
of
the bailer, fell as it was found, crushing the crown of
his head quite flat. Two men and • boy were killed in the
adjacent puddling house, it is believed, by the falling masses
of brick and dibris blown through the roof, whicb, on the
side towards the boiler, was nearly shattered to pieces.
A labourer was also killed who was engaged in wheeling
• barrow earns the yard. A tall and massive iron-
clamped chimney, closely contiguous to the boiler,
is mach rent, and the furnace and other buildings,
many scores of yards distant, bear evidence of the
violence with which the bricks which surrounded the
boiler have been thrown against them. Fragments of bricks
were also strewn in profusion about the yards. At tire p.m.
yesterday it was known that five or six men and • boy
were dead, and it was rumoured that smother was on the
point of expiring. Seventeen persons have also been re.
moved to the North Staffordshire I ofirmai7, more or leas
' injured. The cans of the explosion cannot yet be ewer-
tamed. It is expected that a ooroner's inquiry will be held
to-morrow.

LONDON,TILBURY,AND SOUTHEND RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders
was held this day 4 the London Tavern ; Mr. J. N. panne r.
report, presidi
The report, which has already been published in the
Express. was taken as read.
Th. Caaramaa, is moving its adoption, stated that there
was • slight increase in the balance of receipts over ex-
penditure, as compared with the corresponding period
of 1851, amounting to 5001. The Great Eastern
and the Landon and Blackwell Companies had submitted
to parliament • measure effecting the company, but it was
merely • permissive bill to enable negotiatioos to be
entered into, and las thought it would be prudent for the
shareholders to suspend their judgment upon it till the
terms were made known to them. _ .

A 8111AHRHOLDIR mid he was perfectly content that the
lease should remain as at presoak with the 6 per cent. gua-
rantee of one of the most wealthy men in Europa. He did
not think that any terms likely to be offered would be ac im-
provementupon theposition, and he believed the shareholdeshareholderswould concur with him is that opinion when the subject
came more particularly before there for coosiderstioe.
The report was thee adopted, and a vote of thrums to the
chairman concluded the proceedings.

A bill has passed the American legislature to lay
down a Batsman's' telegraph cable from Fortress Monroe to
Galveston.
