had the fast confidence in the whole et the volunteers
who were employed at the gun in goalie& The wed used
ems what is called a " grammit" wad, mmisillscd s rinds
el rope spliced at our part and loomed in the centre,
and it fitted the muzzle of the gun
well. The gun was well sponged out, anreteulata2
ridge rammed home by two lowarmed, muscular
fellow' (Ounnen Pell sad Pena) ; in short, it is the opinion
of the instructing sergeant that the work could not have
been better done. We rebel ipon the fact of the ball
reaching within a short distends of the target as one of the
most important pooh that could be catered of the proper
loading of the gun. The gun, in compliance with the re-
gular practice., wee thoroughly examined, or " 'earthed"
according to the technical phrase, both by the Royal Artil-
lery and the Volunteers, and several rounds had been dis-
charged from the same piece before the explosion took place.
It is supposed that the gun must be nearly sixty years old,
the date of its companion piece being Itlad. It is not
thought, however, that the pun was at all unsafe by reason
of Oa years, it being the practice to condemn ordnance, not
as account of the length of time it has been cast, but by the
degree of wear it boa received. The supposition that the
°barge had got displaced is put to eight now that the
elevation of the gun has been ascertained. It ap-
pears that it was pointed at degrees, an elevation sufil-
dent to prevent any chance of displacement, although such
an occurrence would have been quite within the range of
possibility if the elevation had been less decided. Some of
the escapes appear to have been little short of miraculous. Mr. J. Stilwell, solicitor, who was the lieutenant in charge
of the gun which exploded, was standing within a few feet
of it, and one of the pieces struck the ground • very few feet
distant from him, tearing up the earth, and covering him
with mud and dirt, but inflicting neinjury. Mr. E. R. Rowell,
Mr. ItiPoreter, jun., sad several other volunteien, also very
narrowly escaped from accident, We are gird to state that
the sufferers are progress* favourably. Mr. 0411ll&n,
whose arm was fractured, s quite conerions, but, singular
to state, he retains not the faintest recollection of the
terrible necurnwee. Mr. Ramie remained le a very critical
state yesterday; but confident hopes are given of his
recovery.

THE CASE OP THE JOURNEYMEN BAKERS.
On Saturday evening a crowded meeting of
journeymen bakers wee held at Baseez-liall, leedenhall-
Amok for the porpoise of receiring the report from the ex-
entettve of the Joeneraen Bakers' A asociatioo of the revolt

day bat, at the London Tavern, respecting the demands el
the men to have their boars of labour limited to twelve

--al°ll 14 I

Mr. 8L11C1111032, the President of the Journeymenltakere
Association, having been voted to the chair, stated that
they had assembled to consider the courte which it
we. requisite fur them to pursue. It was clear
that they had nothing to expect from the masters, and that,
as Lord fihafteslany had told them long ago, they mud, la
• great measure, depend ou their owe efforts for the curl-
ing their movement to a muccessfal issue. (Hear, hear.)
r. JOHN Barimm, the corresponding secretary of the
amociatiii; reported that on Tuesday last a resting of
MOW bakers was convened by the association at the London
Tavern, and ins presided over Ly Lord Ebury. The meet-
ing was convened by circular, and was attended by 150 to
280 master Wan, while about 206 contmunindkns had
been received frees those who could sot attend adhering to
and erprosiog their readiness to concede the iisamods pat
forward by the man At the meeting the proposal to rectum
the hours of labour to 12 hours per day, from four o'clock
in the morning till four iu the afternoon, was put in tho
form of a resolution. It was met by severed amendment;
but was ultimately carried. At the commencement of the
operations of the amociation they gave out that mural
suasion was to be the means by which they were to maims
their demands. To that coarse they had hitherto strictly
adllere4l, and sea test of its efficiency they had convened
this meeting of mastery at the London Tavern. How far
that meeting will go in omibming them in the propriety at
the mune they had hitherto adopted would be for the
Illsgto judge.
itnitma moved, "That this meeting of operative
baker,, having heard the refusal of the recent masters'
noseting, do consider that all diplomatic relations rewarding
• volwitary arrangement with the employers should be
ithmdosed, aid that nothing short of a complete organise-
ties at the men, followed by • strike, will be competent to
being the 12 hours movement to a sucomedul issue." (Cheers.)
Mr. 1101BUItil 'wooded the resolution, and
Mr. Romm moved am an amendment "That instead of a
strike they oaks application to parliament for • 12 bows
hill," which was seconded by Mr. LAIDLAVI.
After • lengthened discumaion, the chairman took the
seams of the meeting on the resolution and the amendment,
when no show having been made for the latter, the rase-
lutioa for a strike was carried unanimouslzid.ramid lunch

tors would do nothing, and that to enforce • demands

meeting of the shareholders to-morrow (Tuesday) state*
that the growl traffic receipt+ during the pest six months
have been 71,3211. 18s. 24., being an increase of
19s. Id., as simmered with the corresponding period of
151 W. This increase has been chiefly derived from the coal
and good+ traffic ; and the directors have every reason to
believe that the passenger traffic receipts would have shown
inure than their ustml progressive improvement, had it not
born for the extremely unfavourable weather during the
spring and summer. The director* have expended • large
sum during the pan six months in renewing the permanent
way, and they have carried the whole of this outlay, viz.,
4,287 f. 3e. 11., to the debit of the revenue account. In-
cluding this expenditure, the working charges of the rail-
way have been MAW. 4e. ltd. in excess of the corioepeading

compliance with the resolution pared at the special meeting
held on the sth June last, the shares ounelitating the addi-
tional capital to Le raised by tlic company, were (gored pro
rota among the existing shareholders. The whole number
has been subscribed for. In pursuance of the umngernenta

what excited, and continued to oomplain greatly of head-
eche, Heanswered geared questions in a rational manner,
but Inas* upon never having been in this part

and could get no work. Why this was he could not think,
as he had never injured any one in his life. la reply to
questions as to marks on his neck and shs? he said
those were marks of where he had been ,• he had

1 Three spots, apparently of blood, were observed os his
trowsers. Of these, and of his statement yesterday, be said
nothing. His had is remarkable from the singular flatness
of the crown. The twat police are of opinion that the prisser
is, to some extent at all events, deranged, and imagine
that the perusal of the newspaper reports of the ocoursoos
has so worked upon his imagination that he has been in-
deiced now to declare himself the murderer. His story is
certainly a most improbable one, and is at moist entirely
uncorroborated. The popular prejudice in this town, how-
ever, is unwarrantably so Feat against Mr. Kent that an
thing reflecting upon him is received with favour.
policemen who brought the prisoner down are sanguine as
to his being the actual aseassin, and are already feasting
their ideas on the promised reward. Superintendent' Foley
end Woolf, however, say they have discovered • clue
pointing entirely in another direction, and prams to have
no doubt as to the speedy unravelling of the mystery.
Another correspondent writes, that the prisoner beim
heeded over to the charge of Goodson, parish constable of
Wolverton, _ a mason's rule and trowel, • pocket-book, •
pawnbroker's duplicate and • halfpenny were found upon
h*, together with sums rough draught., which the pri-
soner said represented a plan be had invented for making
Wake without hand labour, and for which be mid he in.
leaded to take out a patent. Some spots of blood were
gingered epos his tossers, to which his attention was
failed, and be said it was human blood, and afterwarda that
M was the blood of the chill. When before the Rev. Mr.
magistrate at Stoney Stratford, he mole a stair-
meat in which he declared that he was employed to mur-
der the child, that he was to have • pound fur the job, but
that he was not paid, and that he was now tired
of his life, ea wherever he went he saw the
child before him. He also stated that it was
at first proposed to bury the body in • hedge near the
garden,but that it was enbasepiently determined to throw
It down the privy. Before leaving Wolverton the police
sacertaised that the prisoner bad given away a knife, a
tobacco box. and • pipe, to three different pennons. They
seseceeded in discovering sad obtaining the knife, which
proved to be a common deep knife, and on the way to the
station it dropped from the bundle in which it was being
serried, and was at once recognised b' the prisoner ea being
his property. He made several wild statements to the
Gibers to the effect that he bad walked night and day after
the murder till he reached Loudon, that he then left
Loudon, act wishing to lies his wife and three children,
and proceeded to Leicester in scorch of work, that finding
be could get none there or at Wilford, or Notba
be meditated suicide by throwing himself on theZety
and letting • train pun over him, but that he altered his
mind and came to Wolverton, where he resolved to give
himself up. He also made some inquiries as to whether
Miss Oensithee Kant could be " triedagain, and whether
the wassieg nightgown had been found. He gave a tolerably
accurate deemiption of the house in which the murder was
committed, and seemed familiar with the leading facts of
the owe ; but in the opinion of the police all this intones'.
ban may have bees derived from the newspapers, the local
Journal. having made capital of the affair by giving views
of the house, he.
Further to show the inconsistency of the prisoner, another
correspondent informs is that upon one of the magistrates
entering the room, the prisoner asked an officer standing
beside him "if that was Mr. Kent ?" and upon his reply-
isg, "No ; don't you know Mr. Kent r he said, "No ; I
never saw blm in my life." Since he hes been locked up
ho bas also complained much of his head, saying it is too
big for his body. He has also said that he wants to get
rid of his life, and asked if the Liaises were on, laying he
hoped they would hang him, though he had not committed
the murder.
