PASSINGS:RS IN A PNZUWATIC Tres.—" The
visitor to Eurtcooquare," observes a contemporary, " who
may obtain perrnienon to try this mode of travelling, will
find it less unpleasant than several other methods of pro-
creation which one is obliged occasionally to adopt. Lying
down fiat in one of the pontoon.shaped cars, on • COATIS
conch rather too ominously like a stretcher. and gathering
the skirts of your oat very carefully a.onnd you, the first
dread which will probably agitate your mind will be that of
sticking fast in the middle of the tube. But there is cer-
tainly not the smallest danger of this or any other misfor-
tune ; and being thrust into the darkness, like a living
cartridge into the chamber of • breech-loading rifle, you
discover in your minute's ride that there is a strange &h-
-oopoe of any sensations, except the rough 'jolting which is
sensed by springlesa wheels. 'Travelling with the wind,
neither faster nor slower, you feel nothing of its influence,
except just a very little when, in your return passage, you
go head foremost, and are not sheltered from the camps of
stir which finds its way in at the end of the tubular truck
towards which your feet are placed ; and, the space being
too contracted for reverberation, there is less noise than
you would expect from iron rattling on iron."
A FRENCH MIDWIFE. —An inquest which was
held yesterday by Mr. Bedford on the body of a dead
infant brought to light some curious facts. The child was
the son of • barmaid at one of the refreshment houses
in the Haymarket, who had gone to the house of
• French midwife named Cbaret to be confined.
The child was born at three o'clock in the morn-
ing, and was sent away to a nurse at four. It
never did well, but its. death appeared to have
been caused by suffocation. These facts were elicited from
the mother, the nurse, and Madame Chant, who also
tinted that she was in the habit of receiving ladies into her
bones to be confined, and that she received probably as
many as sixty ladies a year, whose children were sent out
to nurse. The jury returned a verdict that the child upon
whose body the inquest was held died of suffocation.
FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF POWDER MILLS. —On
Thursday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, a terrible explosion
took place at the Low Wood powder mills, about seven
miles on this side of Ulverston. The shock or
rather shooks—for three of the mills blew up, one
after the other—wen felt for 15 miles round, and
at Kendal were by some piques attributed to an earth-
quake, but by those better acquainted with the matter
were at once ascribed to the blowing up of some powder
manufactory. We regret to learn that the catastrophe has
been attended with • serious loss of life, three persona
being killed and four much injured. The parsonage house
at Haverthwaite sod the school-house were mach damaged
by the explosion, which shook the buildings so much that
pans and other things were thrown off the shelves. The
windows of the school and parsonage were smashed to
pieces, sod the Low Wood Inn also sustained considerable
damage—We are sorry to say that after the above was
written we have learned that there are three other sufferers
since dead, making six lives lost by the explosion.— Wag-
suire/and Owelte.
