ENYLtn•IoN AT THE EAST CoaMWALL (IVY-
ruining 1111.1.5.—0 n Friday evening, shout 9 o'clock,
the inhabitants of tea neighbourhood of Mulese, near Lis
keard, were alarmed by the report of so loud an explosion,
that many believed it to he the affect of an 'seaquake ; it
was heard en far west as Foamy, a distance of between 9 and
10 milts. On iaquiry, the shalt was found to have been oc-
casioned by an . mioston at the powder mills at lletrodsfoot,
is the pariah of Duloe, and which was work. d ter a Liskcard
company. The drying house, the coreing.honse, and the
gimlet:phonic of the mills had exploded, and been completely
destroyed—so complete was the destruction in the ese of the
corning-house, that the whole of the walls were removed
mu to the foundaion, one stone not being left upon an.
oth. r ; and so poaerful had been the explosion, that the
gr.und for several feet in d.-p h beneath the 11.,r had been
displaced. Fragments of the buildines wete carried in various
directions to a dietetic r of mar y yard', and for '2O or 30 yards
around ; trees and bushes were torn up, and others had
branches and portions broken off and serried away by the
shock, some being rent asunder. The gime and roof of the
house in which the captain of the mills resided, at a dis
lance f about 15 land yards were much shattered, and
some portion of tile wall tell upon the cap sin as he I.y in
his bed and brok the email bone of his Mich. The na at
painiul circumstance connected with this frightful disaster
is the% two of the weikmen bit their live*, Joseph Pen•
Velli, who has It ft a widow and three child, at, and marl
Truseott, leaving awi low and seven children. It is sup-
pose I the. one of the men ha i gene, AS was customary, to
the corning house to see that all was safe, shot ly I. fore the
splosion, and must here let a spark at tire t.ll from the
lantern he earned, and that from this room e xploding fire
communicated to the others. It is remarkable that the store
house of the mills, within 21) yards of the h ,uses de.
'tried, and in w't.eh thr re wits upwards of thirty tons of pre-
pared powder, should Lave ;escaped. The nulls are out
mat. flatly iiijisred; the loss must, bower have been very
tonsid, ruble.
