we suppose, is connected with the equally absurd

ACCIDENT AT NOTTINGHAM.

The Nottingham Papers enable us to add a few
further particulars of the late distressing accident
at that place. The explosion was so tremendous.
that it was not only heard through the town. but at
Ratetiff, Bingham, Loughbro', Alfreton, Loscoe,
sad even Newark, which is 20 mike distant. • A
gentleman crossing the meadows at the time, has
expressed the surprise which lilted his breast. when
he saw the whole building (Nottingham's Boat-
Company's warehouses) lifted up in the stir to the
height of several yards. and• then burst asunder
into innumerable fragments; the bricks, the beams,
the skirt, the packages, the bales, and the hog-
sheads lyisig iii all directions, so that literally there
is not one brick left upon smother that is not thrown
down. The stone Boor of the warehouse where
the powder stood has been forced into the groom!
a considerable depth. !loge pieces of timber awl
bricks were propelled *eventl several hundred yards,
both north, south, and tooth-west. Hegekiah ltiley,
the Captain of the boat which contained the powder.
survived the explosion. and gave evidence before
the Coroner's Jury, on the following day, to the
following effect :-
4, Taal the mid of oft of the barrels moist, and bad been
malted up ; that all the barrels were matted rowed, bat the
wood owl of our of them had brokers and let oat the powder.
as this interment wee eirryiag the barrel fnuis She bnovinto
the warehouse ; that the dowels, or peg fastenings, winch
booed the piece of the end together, had broker, and so
loosened the end and let nut the gunpowder; that be never
perceived the said end of the barrel to he defective till he
removed the barrel from the boat to the warehome; that on
drat Kiang down the barrel from the host on the shelf a
suosiderable quantity of powder, as meek 'as Once or four
pomade. fell upon the wharf side between the bast and the
warehouse door: He 410111 mot know whether or not any of
the powder fell from the barrel into the boat ;.-the barrels
lap sidewise ill the boat ; and the barrel in questing was de-
livered from the Amt. to hint, on the wharf, by Benison's
Wheatley, and ibis informant never saw ally powder fall
from the barrel until and except upon the laudine-place of
the wharf; that this axesniainit put bee It into the barrel the
poerder which to out, or as much of it es he could ; there
might be • couple of ounces or me left animmut the dirt ;
whether ally hail talks into the boat ur too lie cannot tell.
Riley having thus seen the powder, as be conceived, safely
deposited, went away towards the counting-Wow ; and
Joseph Maws went across the whorl; to a boat, in which
was Richard Adcock, William Hist', Rail Joseph Champion,
and, addremilig himself to the former, said—' You've got •
fire is your boat; 1 want • live coke ; adding,' Lids, Pon
going to have • Mohr or words to that effect. Mumma ac-
eurdiagly took an ignited coal, noel carried it a great port of
thoway between twoliticks, but letting it fall be took it up
in his hands, end chiselling it from out to the other, pm-
credvAjo the spot where the powder bad been landed, and in
• moudint the whole exploded, and precipitated himself and
aim others tutu an eternal world."

Numbers of men have been employed in the yard
ever since the calamity happened, but the ruins are
not yet all removed. The amount of damage it is
impossible to calculate. The Inquest was held on
the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers, at the Navi-
gation Inn. on Tuesday last, before Henry Enfield
and Jonathan Dunn. Gents. Coroners for the town ;
and alt. r a very usimste inquiry into the circum-
stances of the case. the verdict returned my., that
they all " did accidentally, casually. and by
mib-
fortune. to wit, by the explosion of a quantity of
gunpowder, come to their several and respective
deaths."
