The sufferers by the terrible explosion which
occurred last evening on the premises of Mears. B. Roberts

visited this morning by a large number of persons. !
The answer to inquiries made about the condition
cf the unfortunate men was that, considering the
dreadful nature of the injuries which they had re-
ceived, they were at present progressing favourably. The
men, all of whom permeated the appearance of parsons suf-
fering great agony, were wrapped up in wadding, &c. Noes
of them ars able to give any account of the cocurrseee,
but as some of the cigar-makers who were at work
the eisar-tusking room at the time of the el-
plaice have received severe bruises over various parts
of the body, it is supposed that the first intimation they
had of the catastrophe was that of their being hurled with
great violence against the walls of the cigar factory, for
when they were seen by the poßar, who removed them
Weigh the roof, they were lying on the broken planks of
the gooriog.
The following is the official list of the injured men, all of
