[Front the Nottingham Better.]
The body of the unfortunate malt, who was the rinse of
the late di eadhil accident was blown across the canal and
the balding path into the meadows, over what is called the
ket's Leen, un the opposite bank of which, it appears as
though the hotly first touched the ground ; one °flies legs were
leer here, whifu the other mutilated parts of his body were
propelled with great violence aleng the ground, at least
dozen yards timber, leasing a hideous track of blood and
brains, pieces of u!sull and thsh. 'nto the grass, where his
mangled remains had passed along. BenjaminWheatley, aged
2s, a sittele man, of Stoke Bat dolph, a boatintit ; Gem ge

now pass ou to the other victims of this heart rending eatos-

Howell, a boy aged only 11, the son of one of the book-
keepet s belonging to the concern, who resided at a house in
the yard. This youth, like the rest of his fellow-suchrers„
presented a horrid spectacle; not a feature could be recog-
nized, and their bodies, or rather hunks, were so mangteJ
that it Will9l only by their (Jointlys they could be identified.
About 30 yards east of the Wilding, in a direct line front it,
stood Mr. Julio Pyatt, a respectable whartinger of this town,
who proviiientially escaped unhurt ; he was at the moment
ceiling to three of his men, and giving them directions about
the loading of a cart they were drawing in the yard, one at
the shafts and two pushing behind. Being in a northerly
direction, they fell victims to the blast, and were driven with
the utmost violence towards the large gates.—Their name*
were John Scales, a single man, aged 30, who lived at what is
called the barracks, iu High-cross-street; William Norman,
living at the
same place, aged 60, a widower, with no tamily
dependent on him; and William Stevenson of Stevenson, aged
23, who It id represented himself as coming front Leicester.
The two lot liter were killed on the spot, and the latter was

firmary; he cried out several times," 0 my heart," and died
about six o'cluck that evening. This 111J11 had only been three
days In Mr. Psattli employ. The nest subject of fatal nit--
fortune whom we shall notice, is William Parker, aged only
15, the son of a poor malt, living at Carlton, in this emelt-
botirhuod. This lad had all aril. it desire to engage himself
in a boat, and on Saturday morning last rose at au early hone
to coil set mushrooms. which lie sold that day in Nottingham

Thomas Baker, aged 42, forms the last of the shocking ca-
talogue of ten, who are known to have hero tints suddenly

maltster, , but the regular waggoner being sick, was employed

gon. This 111411 has left a wile and five children ; the eldest
of the children it a girl aged 16, and there are four boys, time
youngest only two years old. Mr. Riley, who was going neap's
the yard to the comiting.hottse, was blown down ; and A:.
cock, Champion, and three men iu Mr. Simpson's boat,
%Oleic the tire was,yvere also blown down, but not materially
injured. Mr. Richard Barrows, the owner of Mr.
boat, and the principal acting partner of the boat company,
had been in the warehouse a few minutes hclure the explosion„
and had sent Mr. Fauber!, a book-keeper, uti AU errand ; and
toe 111411 of the twine of Ashton, he gave orders to go into
the wool-shed across the yard, and the latter was enterieg

blew up. Mr. Barrows also had but just entered the countble-
house, when the glass flew out of the windows; and wounded
him iu the face providentially lie sustained nu other injury.
A principal coin-merchant in the town (Mr. Stailibatik) had
been in the warehouse super intending the delivery of a large
qtiatitity of corn, and having been home to disuer, was re-
turning again to the warehouse, when he was met in the
street by a gentlemen who detained lure, and finis peovieleit-
daily his life was saved ; indeed, considering the extensive
nature of the business transarted at these warehouses, we
cannot refrain 11'0111 the hand of Ptsoyidelice
been peculiarly manifest, in that the above catalogue of vie-
tints was not considerably enlarged.
