At-rex-I'l)in Axecocre.—At the anniversary meet-
ing of the Suinliaimerni Auxiliary Bible Society, on
Thursday, the Rev. 1.. Richmond related to the meeting
the following, anecdote :—lty a sudden burst of water
into one of the Newcastle collieries, 3b men and 41 lads
were driven into a distant part of the pit, front which
there W:ls no possibility of return until the w.iter should
have kern drawn ME While this was bring effected,
though all povsible means were used, the wi►ole number
grad tally died, from starving or from suffocation. When
tin. bodies were drawn tip from the pit, seven of the
)otiths were discovered iii a cavern separate trout the
rest—among these was one of peculiarly moral mil reli-
gions habits, whose daily reading of the sacred Scriptures
to his widowed mother, when he came from his labour,
had brined the solace of her lonely condition. After his
funeral a sympathising friend of the neglected poor went
to visit her ; and while the mother showed him, as a
relic of her son,dlisitiale, worn and soiled with couslant
perusal, he happened to cast his eyes on a candle-box,
with which, as a miner, he had been fuinithed, and
which had been brought up f be pit with Into, and
there he discovered the 'following affecting record of the
filial titration and steadfast piety of the youth. In the
darkness of the stiliiicaMig pit, with a bit of pointed
iron, he had engraved nut the box his last message to his
' mother, in these words:-.'" Fret not, my dear mother;
for we were singing and praising God, while we had
tine.--11other, follow God more than ever I did. Jo-
seph, be a good lad to GNI and mother." Mr. Rich-
mond produced the box, which he had borrowed of the
widow, under a solemn promise of Warning a relic so
prcc.ous to a mother's lucart.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION.

On Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock, a Coroner's
Inquest was held before C. Jetuntett, Esq. the emotive for
Sin rey, at Camber is ell Witt klionse, oh the bodies of John
Dent.iird and Samuel But km idge, two nefortuniate indivi-
duals, who met their deaths at Messrs. Clever and Yard-
ley's, glue mantifai liners, Wells.sticei, Calithei well, in
coneequelice of the rap lusion uf a steam bullet on the pre-
eel ing 1. in s day.
The lilt witness called was John Sparks, a young man
residing in Itowyet-lane, Canine t well. He stated, that
ins Tuesday, about tire o'cloi k in the after 'num, he was
employed in the maiiiefactiny of Alesios. Yardley dud
Clever, in Wells-street, Camberwell. The engine that
blew up wits a stm.in boiler. The witness was employed
to take rare of the tire; the two deceased penams were
gin the 'itemises tit the tinge; elle of them was stainling
'lnce yards from it, and the oilier was coming in at the
dour. The boilrr was then charged, and at wink to
38 lbs. ill lie s.piate of steam t it was was ranted at 150
equare. The boil, r had had a new bottom, and that was
the first day of hying ii, to see whether it was sound.
Mr. Hangliton, of the firm of lianglitim and Frazer, who
had lately repealed the machine, was present, to super-
intend the trial, with Bit km edge, who WAS his fOreillitA.
Mr. Haughlon wished the boiler to be tried at 40, and
witness was putting some fuel Olt the fire, in order to raise
h to that pressure; ou doing which, lie felt the molten'
shake under him while lie. WAS at • he hoot of the furnace ;
being very de alarmed, lie attempted to run ass ay, mull
at the moment the ratters and joists gave way and tell on
him, which knocked him down, when lie beard a great
explosion, which appeased to Witness like the shooting of
cart-loads of heavy stones. John Denford, the engineei 'a
man, was stabiling out an erection above witness, and lie,
together with the floor, came down in consequence of the
shuck, and fell meal witness. At this period the whole of
the building was tailing down, and the upper part of ;he
boiler was blown about 120 feet in the air, leasing the
bottom lie its otiginal situation. On recovering himself,
lie etideasUllled to creep irum under the rubbish which
surrounded Min, and he proceeded with D cilium; to the
assistance of those who west snore perilously situated.
On getting into the yard, they hearth the:, groans of Mr.
Ilaughlon, the engine maker, who was butied tinder a
mass of bricks, ' tier, and rubbish. They went to his
assistance, and succeeded in getting him frmu under the
ruins Bilekeridge, just before the explosion took place,
said, that lie would StAlltlinar the place even if it was at
tin degrees: lie was killed on the spot. Witness had
worked at steam engines before, and this was made iii the
same way as others were made. He did sot see any of
the deceased until they were taken out of dm ruins. The
fin cc of the steam and water dashed Hertford against the
corner of the wall, and lie was severely scalded. Buck-
midge was quite dead, but Denford heaved a very heavy
sigh and died almost immediately. The weight of the
boiler was estimated at about four tons. It was never
sound; it had a leakage and was repaired, but was after-
wards unsound, on which a new bottom was put to it.
A Juryman asked, whether the bottom was not rivetted
on a new plan ?
Witnessed answered that it was Hecht() in the same
way as others, but it was +.ll the new wink that gave way.
They had the valves fixed at a certain pressure, and oc-
casionally they were relit veil. Witness used his own
discretion in the supply of NM for the the. In the
whole, five persuns west iijuitd beside the deceased,
and so seriously that they weft: carried to the Huspitel
without hope of recovety.
i Mr. C. Yardley, u: the firm of ('lever and Yardley,
I glue matinfdeimers, of Weesstreet, Camberwell. was next
1 sum it. illr. Yardley appeared to be very Wllllll iiijnied
in conseirence ut the IIIVIAlleill.:y accident; his head was
. bound ep a ith a liandkvi chief, die. and since the surd-
• dent lie has been under the Cale of Al r. Brawn, surgeon,
• of CAlllilts W VII. Being ft WOI ii, he stated that on the day
of the acciifeet, lie was ill the niamitactury, viewing the
operation. He was standing near the boiler when it
Waist. Witness at first heard the noise, hist did cot con-
! bider it of serious consequence, mitill a mass of brit ks
I fell on lion, then lie anticipated all the conseimenee whirls
arose flow the accident. Ise was about six yards front
the machine when the bricks commenced falling on him,
and he was obliged to rim to save his life. Mr Houghton
Was present when they were trying the boiler; he heal('
a dashing inside, which lie thought was the steam. He
ran to the our( unity of the yawl, and on tinning round
lie perceived the whole of the building dwell. 'Die pres-
sui e of the ettgilie was Bum 35 to 38, but was guaranteed
I to hold fialb. on ihe square inch. WeilleSS heard the
groans of I%IE. Ilmight on, met saw him when taken nut of
the I Mil,. The deceased, Demur(', was witness's fore-
, Dian, and Bur kei idge ass in the i mploy of Mr. Hanlon',
1
' who win 'anted the boiler to hold 150Ib. on the /mine
inch when it was brought flung Big mingliam. It had beta
altered twice.
Mr. Blown, ' girl/eon, of Camberwell, stated, that he
was called to attend the deceased et the will k house im-
mediately- at ter the accident: D maw d evidently died
thionAll suffocation flora the steam and dust, and Bucke-
ridge throsigh A dreadful fractme on the skull.
Julia Angel, a coal pm ter employed at Mr. Hicks', op.
posite to whet e the accident took place, heard the explo.
aion, and went to uasist the unto' foliate sufferers. The
buildings was all in lilies; lie found Mr. Naughton hint
Cu his face, covered with the ruins over has head and
elonildets. He next found Denford, who was scalded
very much, lying in the coiner of the manufactory.—
Beekei Mgr lie found eight or ten yards flout the dour
way, coveted with the tubbisli, and seriously bruised us
the lugs(', and he had Cie appearance of having ate nested
much to extll(l4lP himself. They were carsied to the
um k house on Shillit'l P.
Thus %AI the mune of the evidence adduced, and the
July having previously viewed the bottles, found diens
lying in the dead house, deposited ni shells. The appear-
ance of the uliforimiate man Ihickeridge was len rid in
the extreme—his face, ['utast, and, in tact, all his hotly
preseuted a dreadful appearance of scalding ; and that of
Dentord displayed see, rat severe mai ks of hi tiises and
contusions, which we iti pet ce;•tilile in the face acid head.
The Coroner briefly changed the Juiry, and could nut
attribute blame to ally patty; the eil I' 00000 stance of Mr.
lialielitun being present, and injured himself, trout that
of course it might be inferred that lie hail confidence in
the boiler, and that he consideted 'lime tenthd not, by testy
possibility, lie any intention of Minty. The case most
be considered, in his opiiiion, in no other light but that
of aeciiiesit, but fur the Jury it was to determine.
The Jury, eller a short consultation, returned a verdict
of—" Accidental Deed*, occasioned by Ws looting of a
steam bullet."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 17.—Cosset RACY.—James Macmiebael
and James Betts were indicted for conspiring with James
Leach, to defraud George Flint. Leach has not been appre-
hended. The prisoners were common iuforiuers ; the move-
cater was a pawnbroker.
Mr. Alley stated the case for the prosecution.
George Flint, examined by Mr. Adolplios._Wiraess is
pawnbroker in the Edgeware-road. Oat the 2d of November
last, Macmichael came to his shop, and, after pledging a
watch, told the witness in a low voice, that he bad some cases
against him for taking illegal interest. Witness said it %us
impossible, as lie was very correct. The prisoner admitted he
was more correct than others, but added, I have succeeded at
last." The prisoner then chewed him a book, in which he had
entries of overcharges, which be said the witness lad made ;
and said to witness: you must come down as others have
done;" and named several persons who had paid him sums,
front twenty poands to five pounds, to prevent informations,
adding, if the witness would not pay 51. he must go before a
magistrate. Witness said he must have time to consider of it;
the prisoner said it must be • short time, as be had a great
deal of business on band. The prisoner called agsiu two days
after; witness said that he could not settle with him, as he
understood there were many persons connected with him (the
prisoner), and he was afraid some of them might inform against
him after settling with the prisoner. Witness mentioned to
the prisoner the names of several persons that lie understood
were connected with him. Prisoner said that none of them be
longed to him now but Betts and Leach, and he would seud
them to him, to satisfy him that he would be safe ; that they
were waiting at a public house near, but they must come one
at a time. The prisoner Betts came to the witness's shop soon
after. Witness, on seeing him recognized Lim as a person who
lied been in his shop a few evenings before with tea spoons to
pledge for six shillings, and refused taking live or seven shil-
lings, which were offered him, saying, if they would not give
him six shillings, he would lied some one else that would.—
Witness here explained that the interest on six shillings has a
fraction of a penny in it, and a mistake of a farthing is often
made in calculating it ; to prevent which he did not allow that
particular sum to be lent at his shop. Betts told the witness
that he had coniefroin Macmichael to satisfy him that be would
be safe by settling with him (Macmichael) adding, we are all
one. Betts then went away, and Leach came iu a few minutes
and gave the same assurance. Allatinothael then returned to the
witness's shop, and received 31. ; witness said he must have
time to enquire before lie could give more, as he was not sa-
tisfied lie would be safe from all, and mentioned Coombs, (a
person who was convicted of a similar olience last week) Mac
niichael came the next day, and brought a book, which Le said
was the one kept by Coombs, who was then out of the business;
and rtpeated his assurance that the witness would be safe,
upon which lie paid him 21. noire.
Joseph Lumley, the prosecutor's clerk, corroborated his evi-
dence, and staled, that after ;Carmichael had received the 31.
be saw him go into a public-house that was near, and came cut
soon after with Betts and Leach. The case for the prosecution
closed here.

Mr. Waiford addressed the Jury for the prisoners, log called
no witnes►er.

The Chairman, in charging the Jury, said it mad• no differ-
ence in the prisoners' guilt, whether Mr. Flint had legally in-
curred penalties or not ; the statute which gave informers the
penalty fur legally convicting for an offence, never ietended that
the informer should use it to extort money fur no/ legally con-
victing. No case of conspiracy had ever• beta more clearly
proved.
The prisoners were both instantly 'found Guilty, and sen-
tenced to he imprisoned twelve mouths iu the House of Cur•
rectiun.

flliam Thompson was indicted fur au attempt to commit an
unnatural offence.

Mr. Alley stated the case far the prosecution.
The constable who received the prisoner at the watch-house,
proved that his face was painted at the time, and produced a
paper of red 'mint that was found in his pocket.
The prisoner made no defence, and was instantly found
Guilty.—J udAinent deferred.
WLUNI,DAY, SEM. N.—Stephen Harris WU indicted for
stealing sixpence from William Lomas.
Mr. Lomas the prosecutor, stated, that he kept flue Seymour
Anns public house, in Seymounplaae, Edgeware-road, and
that the prisoner was his put boy, and was sent to a customer of
the name of Curtis, with sispeoce worth of beer on the 20th of
August, and on his return said lie had not been paid for it ;
is a few days after the prisoner absconded from his service.
Mr. Curtis, to whom the beer had been sent proved that he
paid the prisoner for it the day after it was brought to him.
The Chairman asked Mr. Lomas whether this prisoner had
denied having received the money after it had in fact been paid
to him.

Mr. Lomas replied, be never asked the prisoner for the
money but once, that was immediately after the delivery of the
beer.

The Chairman charged the Jury, that, although from the man-
ner in which the prisoner lea his iiisi.ter's sem ice, there cuulu
be little doubt of his intending to steal the money, )et there
was not legal evidence of the fact. The Jury acquittied the
prisoner.

TIIu SI:PT. 19.—William Tripp was indicted for
wilful and corrupt perjury.
Air. Charles Phillips opened the pleadings.
Alr. Walford slated the case fur the prosecution, by which
it appeared the perjury was alleged to have been committed in
outpost of au information !aid by a person, named James Bel-
wood, against the late Mr. %Villa'', • sta4e coach proprietor,
for Navin,; had more than ten outside passengers, on one of his
coaches, in support of which information the prisoner with eNa-
mined as a witness.

Mr. Stafford, 61;erCle.k at Bow-street, produced the juror
/notion kid by Bellwood against 11 Man, and read from his
notes the evidence given by the Ini.oner in support of it on the
26th of July, which stated, that about half after four o'clock on
the evening of 'IV ednusday, the WO of June, he was going to-
wards Hounslow, he met a stage coach marked as the Exeter
coach, with the Haute of John 11 illan on it, going towards Lou.
don, and carrying at the time thirteen outside passengers, all
01 wlwm acre over sea en years of a,.e.
Mr. Harmer, who had attended at Bow-street on behalf of
Mr. ‘Villan, proved that he took down the evidence given by
the prisoner before the magistrate, which exactly corresponded
will, Mr. Staffours notes. Ile also stated that be ealttiumed
the primmer several times, while he wan giallo( bin evidence,
to be pal tieuLir both as to the day and the number of die
passengers.
Mrs. Soper stated, that she left Exeter by Mr. Willan's
coach on the 18th of June, awl arrived in London on the ;
■be was all outside passenger ; the number of passengers leaning
Latter was tee, including a child. The satire passrugrrs'mule

to the number. Al Hammersmith another person ranted to go
on the coach, but the coachman refused to allow hiw,int)ing he
had his full number.

John Hounslow, the coachman who drove the coach from
Bag.hot to Hounslow, proved that the coach bad but nine sod
a Ira oat side passengers, by whidi he said he meant nine and
a child.

Tee coachman who drove from Hounslow to London, proved
that he bad but nine and a half outside passengers.
The prisouer had no counsel, and called uo witnesses, but
persisted in saying all the witnesses for the prosecution bad
made a grand mistake, as be counted thirteen on the top of the
coach, and could not be mistaken.

The Jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of guilty.
Judgment deterred.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 20.—Henry Cooper was indicted for assault-
ing his wife.
The prosecutris was a young woman ; the prisoner an old
