On Saturday morning last the coroner, Mr.
Butter, received information that • man had been found
drowned at Mode Wheel, cm the river !twill, in the town-
ship of Pendlebury, in the borough of Salford. Oa going to
take the inquest is the afternoon, the body appeared to be
that of a man about 60 or 60 yea of age. From the riders
it appeared that a man of the name of Yates, employed al the
Mode Wheel Works, discovered the body in near] erect
parkin at ball-pest six that morning, is the sluice
from the river Jewell. With the eaeislanoe of a man
James Moyle., be got the body out of the water, and con-
veyed it to the Swan lon, Pendelbury, where it lay until
Saturday night. Mary Gorton, who keeps • beershop neer
the Swan Inn, stated that on Friday afternoon this =III
came to bee hoar and remained from three o'clock until
ave. He appeared wholly sober. During the thee he
remeher he asked for a glees al beer and • pipe of trees*,
aid had four glasses in all, for which he rid abnerm
Bakes leal;he Wished of beg at what time the goes id
the lodge to Mode Wheel were dosed fee the algid.
Sho 'squired he were going to Measberiter, when he
replied, "No, to Thames eat.' The wirsesseld "be epv
peered to be upset in re mind," and she had no foram car
venation with hr. He was a stranger to her brine Me.
One of the jury reneszked that if it wee the wean be sop.
posed, ha raw him well. His same was Henry Stokes;
but though he was known by this same he wee not •
man, and his proper name was Harriet Stokes. She
had assumed the same and garb ef a man for • great
number of leers, gad bad served an apprenticeship as
a bricksettsr, afterwards working as • journeyman, and
then for several ran in business having con-
structed many of the warehouse', chapels, sad dwelling-
houses in the neighbourhood of Manchester, the last work
being the erection of • factory chimney for Mr. Simpson. The
coroner then directed two women to examine the body,
who came back tittering, saying it wee true; it was the body
of a woman. Harriet Taylor, who lives in the neighbour-
hood, said the knew Stokes well. He wee a brickeetter.
The prow came wee Harriet Stokes, bat he went by the
name of Harry Slobs.. Some years ago Stokes married a
woman in Manchester. They lived together as man and
wife, and kept a beerehop in Quay-street, Manchester.
Several of the jury reocillsoted thecae*, and that ballads were
composed and rag in the streets on its being known that
the supposed man was a women. The verdict was " Found
drowned. Supposed sulaide."
Since the inquest we have sacertaird from inquiries that
it is Meted that about twenty-five years ago this woman was
married to a female, who made complaint that her husband
was not • man, end left her in consequence.

ANOTHER TRADE OUTRAGE AT 1311127111LD.—..
Yosteeday morning, mother of them disgraceful moon
renom took place at the Tower Wheel, SheMald, whereby
the life of a grinder, named Joseph Heillwall, wu greatly
Hellarell we working at his glacing-wheel,
=aradrail.stity of powder having previously ham put in
the trough, it hem= ignited, and an explosion, owing to
the sparks from the steel falling upon it, was the conse-
quence. Honied' was severely injured In the right eye •
his acme were also burnt, and his clothes sat fire to. but,
fortunately, nothing more eerie= happened to hint. He has
for some time peat been in fear of his life. and during work
he ham locked his room door, and, as a number of the union
men, about 30 or 40 of them, were on the premises on Mon-
day, the supposition is that some of them have been the
rar-rof this meet cowardly and disgraceful act. Hal-
a was a short time put so much afraid of the unionists
that he applied to the secretary of the union to become a
member, out nukes a number of other men, warned on the
occasion, would not also go with him, he was told that he
could not be accepted. The consequence was that Helliwell
had to remain a . .Inobstiok," and the present occurrence
was the result.

EXPLOSION OF • LOCOMOTIVE ENOINE.—On
Monday evening, greet onaternation was calmed at Womb-
well, Lundhill, and tiie adjoining neighbourhood, in conse-
quence of a loud report, mused by the ex lesion of a loco-
motive engine, about half a mile from the Wombwell station
on the South Yorkahire Railway. ij appears that u the
No. 8 engine was going to Menke with a laden coal train
from Westwood, when near the Elsner Junction the centre
of the boiler exploded with a fearful crash, sending
part of the boiler, chimney, dome, and skis gearing up in the
air for a considerable distance, large portions of which fell
at least 160 yards from the spot. At the time there were
four persons on the engine—Joseph Walker, engine-driver
James Spencer, fireman ; George Stocks, guard; and Mr,
Schofield, station-master, Mexbro'. Tbe lire and 'mote-
-1 box luckily resisted the violence of the shock, and was thus
the mean, no doubt, of saving the men from almost certain
and Immediate death. As it it, they have all been more or
lass injured by the fire and steam, the engine driver seriously. The effects of the explosion were visible for more than 100
yards, the fenced being Mown away, and the heavy branches
of an oak tree which stood just by shattered, whilst one of
the fields was la mural placed literally ploughed up, deep
indentations being made by the heavy metal which
fell. The entice was thrown across the hne,
some of the rails torn up and broken, and the teenager
hale impeded for about forty minutes, the pumpers by
the Domeier train having to walk over the UM/ to
• train which was brought up oaths other side. The injured
=were retuned by a special engine to their respective
eN s, when they were promptly attended by Mr. Car-
michael, forgoes, Mexborough. The Gneiss appears to have
been an old one, and the crack *oleo, and other heavy Owen
of metal, were broken and crumpled up by the force of the
explosion and readmedentirely useless.
ACCIDENT TO AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—On Monday
en accident occurred to the Chester and Holyheed express
train, which Int the latter station at three o'clock, after the
arrival of the packet from Kingstown. The train, which wag
• heavy one, owing to the number of 'Leiters to the Great
Raetern, proceeded at a rapid speed towards Chaster until it
arrived at Conway. At this station the train was appointed
to stop, but the velocity of its motion carried it some 90 pude
from the platform. It happened that at this moment a train
which had previously arrived from Llandudno, was shunting
from the down to the up line, and the express ran into it
with considerable force, throwing two of the carriages off the
line and giving • severe shock to the others. The majority
of the passengers escaped uninjured, but others were bruised
about the face severely, and two ladies were obliged to re-
main behind at Conway. The accident was nigh being of a
more marinas character, for the down express from Chester
OLDS up at the time, but was fortunately brought to a stand
beton et reached the Llandudno carriage which at the ma-
mma ware croesing the line, and into which the up express
raw u described above. Every attention was &mewed
upon the passengers by the station muter, and promotions
taken to prevent any farther mishap to the train. A delay
down than an hour occurred before the injured carriages
could be removed and the train wad enabled to premed on its
journey.

for Adlington at night. He got into • canine in which
there wee only one men, of very genteel appearance, and who
made very free with him, and shook him by the hand very
cordially. Rigby took his seat, but very soon felt • change
peering through
his whole system, and he became quite
Powerless end sprechlers. In this state be continued until
he got to Leyland, when the man got hold of him and put
him out. Not being " quite himself," be did not may ay-
thing—in fact, he says that ha could not—but made the best
of his way home. He was quite bewildered, and instead of
stopping at Adliagton went an to Horwich nation again,
and there be partially recovered. He then began to examine
his pockets, and found to his surprise that his money was all
gone. The station muter put him on his way home, where
he arrived all safe. It was thought be had been drunk, but
he says that he had not had any ietoxicatime drink.
