place, with a hoe se and tart, at the time the expires leek
place, was very hvdly injured. The violence of the explo-
aims IS represented to have been most terrific. The works
are very much shatt-red, and a portion of the huge boiler
was hurled with gros, t force across the canal. The cause of
the accideat hat not reached us ; but the consternation sad
dismay which the shocking event produced teem to
hive been greater than ;isual ; and no wonder, for these
calamities are now becoming of such frequent occurrence.
It is only a few months since we had to record a similar
disaster, which took place a very short distance from the
spot from wheat* death has just been dealt out into three
families and affliction into a number of others. The works
of Messrs. Whitehouse are of great sateat, upwards of two
hundred panes being employed.
