TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Flll,—As the awful explosion of Saturday last at Erith
must be regarded as a fact worthy of especial record
amongst the occurrences of the year, and as many persons
have contributed to the public accounts of it their own per-
sonal experiences, we hope you will permit us to ald
something to the general information.
Our premises at the corner of Minories and Aldgate,
though 14 mites from the scone of thn catastrophe, did
not escape the shock. Several large and thick plate-glass
panes in our shop-windows were shivered into countless
fragments, and even some of the shutters were forced from
their frames and thrown upon the payment.
We are, sir, yours obediently,
E. MOSES & CO.

strong north-easterly wind beating dead against it. Yester-
day again a band of navvies, acting under Mr Rowell, were
at work backing up the embankment with clay. Mr Baz
d-
gette, the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
visited the spot in the course of the day, and gave directions
that the work should be continued by the navvies until it
was completed, for reasons affecting the Main Drainage,
apart from apprehensions of danger to the adjacent
marshes from inundation. The great outfali works for the
southern main drainage at Crossness Point are about a
couple of miles from the scene cf the explosion, and had
the neighbouring marches been flooded the mischief might
not have been confined to that locality. The districts of Ber-
mondsey and Lambeth are upon the same low level as the
marshes at Plumstead, and had the breach in the embank-
ment n at been repaired the consequent inundation, it is said,
might have spread by means of the main sewer itself into
those districts, and the southern main drainage on that side
of the river have been interrupted for the time. About
LISO worth of plate glass at the new works at Crossness
Point was destroyed by the explosion, but the works them-
selves withstood the shook without injury. Two other
gunpowder magazines are located, one within about 600
and the other about 800 yards of those which exploded.
Some of the windows cf the nearer of the two, which belongs
to Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, were shattered by the con-
cussion, but the place sustained no further damage. It is
said that a man who was at work in their magazine rushed
out appalled on hearing the explosion, and threw himself
into the mud on the shore of the river for safety.

The cause of the catastrophe has been mere conjecture
from the very first, and it will, probably, remain a mystery
for ever. That the gunpowder in one of the barges exploded
first appears to be beyond doubt, and that is really all that
is known as to the origia of the calamity. Yesterday,
again, vast numbers of people visited the spot, and the
trains were all more or less delayed on the return jclarney.

ITALY.

A letter from Turin, in the Journal des Debuts,
says --
The population have accepted the manifesto of the new
Government with resignation. Men are beginning to
accustom themselves to the idea of losing the capital, and
you may be sure that there will not be a renewal of the
disturbances. The Opposition will continue to say that the
transfer of the capital to Florence is tantamount to the
abandonment of Rome. This is the theme developed by the
Gazette; del Popolo, and will no doubt be discussel in Par-
liament; but the Convention will be voted nevertheless.
It is a fact that for five years the Italians have bees
asking for the evacuation of Rome. General Durando
dwelt upon it in his famous despatch, and Baron Ricasoli
joined in the cry. They now obtain what they have de-
sired—upon a condition, it is true, but a condition which
they can carry out as they think fit. It would be extra-
ordinary to see them reject what they themselves de-
manded with so much persistence. The population of
Turin is beginning to understand this, and would have
understood it at once if the measure had not been so sud-
denly brought forward.
The session which is about to commence will pro-
bably be longer than is generally supposed. First, it
seems doubtful whether the convention and the measures
connected with it will be voted without the usual accom-
paniment of interminable speeches. It would be impolitic
to forbid discussion ; the enemy is not at our gates, and a
measure of this importance cannot be voted hurried;y.
Moreover, the wants of the Treasury have to be provided
for, and a lean to be demanded.
The elections might take place in Februery, and the
new Parliament meet at Florence in the first days of spring,
within the term of six months fixed by the Convention.

RETURN OF PRINCE ARTIIUR.—Her Majesty's
paddlewheel steamvessel Vivid arrived at Woolwich
at half-past 8 yesterday morning, bringing Prince Arthur
from the Continent, on his return to England. The Prince
was accompanied by Colonel Seymour and Mak)r Elphin-
stone, the Rev. W. It. Jolley having previously received
leave of absence on account of ill-health. The -Vivid sailed
from Antwerp at 1 p.m. on Sunday, and made a tolerable
passage, anchoring at half-past 3 yesterday morning in the
river, off Chaplin's Head. A telegram was despatched from
Gravesend to Balmoral, announcing the Prince's arrival, to
her Majesty. On reaching the (Meg at Woolwich the
Vivid was boarded by Commodore Dunlop, superintendent
of the yard, and Commander Towhey, from the flagship
Fisgard, who accompanied the Prince to one of the royal
carriages awaiting his arrival at the landing stage, and lit
which the Prince and suite immediately took their depar-
ture. His royal highness appeared in excellent health, and
is stated to have suffered no inconvenience during the
voyage.

The Trade of France.

Trade in general is good in Paris, particularly
among dealers in articles of luxury. Goldsmiths
and jewellers have more customers than they can
supply at the moment, and many of them have to
wait some time to have their orders executed.
Manufacturers of articles de Paris never had a bet.
ter season ; painters and gilders on porcelain were
never more prosperous. The demand from England
contributes to revive the trade in artificial flowers,
and to give employment to many hands which were
idle during the dead season, Wholesale shoemakers
are carrying on a profitable export trade with
Mexico, the American States, and China; hatters
and shirtmakers are equally well employed. Dyers
have sufficient orders on hand to employ their
workmen 12 and 14 hours a day. The business
transacted in this trade is said to amount to some
millions of francs a year in Paris alone. There is a
brisk demand for chemical produce from Germany
and for perfumery from South America. Ot all
trades, however, that of builder and of all branches
connected with it appear to be most prosperous.
New streets are being opened in every quarter both
of old and new Paris, and houses are not finished
before they are partly inhabited.

Adelphi Theatre,

The opening of this house for the winter season toolt
place last evening. The pieces selected for the occasion
were " Good for Nothing," " The Irish Ambassador," old
"Teddy the Tiler." It is scarcely necessary to say that
" aood for Nothing in the hands ot Miss Woolgar, Mr. J•
Clarke, Mr Billington, and Mr W. 11. Eburne, was all that
could be dedred. The great features of the evening, how'
ever, were " The Irish Ambassador" and " Teddy the
Tiler," in which Mr John Collins, a gentleman who 110
attained much celebrity in America as a delineator of Iristi
character and a singer of Irish songs, made his fist apree"
ante before a London audience, and produced a most
favourable impression as Sir Patrick O'Plenipo, in “111°,
Irish Ambassador," and as Teddy, in " Teddy the Tiler.
Mr Collins is an actor of no inconsiderable merit.

He combines a perfect knowledge of stage business
with a capital brogue,unexceptionable because it is genuiriet
and he carefully avoids most of the vulgarity in which
mar y actors are too prone to indulge when representing
Irish character. As a singer of Irish songs he is most
effective, eliciting a unanimous encore for his opening song
o
in "The Irish Ambassador," " The Bould Sojer Boy." 11
potsible, he increased his reputation as a vocalist in "1116/
Lcw-back'd Car," and more especially so in " Widov!
Machree," which was twice encored. Mr Collins's style IS
gentlemanly, and without straining after effect he prodtwes.
it, and fairly promises to be a favourite with the Adelpill
audience. At the conclusion of " Teddy the Tiler' gr
Collins was loudly called for, and bowed his aoknowledg"
vents.

Astley's Theatre.

This favourite house was re-opened for the season last
night by Mr E. T. Smith, under the most favourable aus.
pices, every part of the building being crowded to excess,
The performances opened with the " Double-bedded Room,'
in which the characters were all well sustained by Messy
Sam Emery, Gresham, Craddick, and Akins, Mrs E. F.
Edgar and Miss 'idinnie Cliff.ad ; but the piece passed ci
very quietly, owing to the enthusiasm being probably re'
served for that wh:ch was to folllow. Mr Emery, as Dalci.
mar Pipes, however, was twice called before the curtain.
With the drama of " Msztppa,” which followed, everybody
is well acquainted; but the great novelty of this season it
the appearance of a lady, Miss Allah Isaacs Menken, et
Mazeppa. This lady, who has earned laurels in the United
States, of which we understand she is a native, certainly
filled the part to perfection, to use the words of the bills--
"Fighting her own combats and climbing the fearful pre-
cipices on horseback herself, and not by deputy," and by
her graceful action succeeded in drawing down thunders 01
applause and repeated encores. From the enthusiasm with
which she was received last night there is little doubt that
her soji,urn at this theatre v, ill prove a very great attraction.
The staff, which is necessarily very large, is well selected;
the mechanical arrangements are good ; and the new scenic
effects are excellent. "Mazeppa" at Astley's will certainlY
again have a long run.

Shocking Suicide in Bethnal-green.

Yesterday, at noon, Mr. 11. Raffles Waithow, deputy
coroner, held an inquest at the George Tavern, Bethnal-
green-road, respecting the death by suicide of William
Claridge, aged 30 years.
The deceased was a glassblower, living at No.B, George's-
gareens, Bethnal-green.
Thomas Hall, 231 K, said that last Friday evening he
was going past the deceased's residence, when a doctor asked
him to assist him in breaking into the room upstairs, as a
man had poisoned himself there. They both got in by the
window and found deceased lying on the door, apparently
from poison. The wife said that she had bought some
poison to take a name out of a waistcoat, and that deceased
took it up and drank it. She and the children tried to take
it from his hand, but could not. The doctor advised that
deceased should be carried to the hospital, but the wife had
not got a :arthing to pay for a cab, and deceased died on
the fhor almost immediately,
The widow of the deceased said that her husband had
been out of work. He had only been five days in work
since Christmas, and he was depressed because, he said, he
could not do all that he wished for his family. A fortnight
ago witness bought some spirits of salt to ;Ake names out of
waistcoats and prepare them for sale. On Friday night
about twelve o'clock, all the family were in the room going
to bed, when ho took up the bottle of poison and began
to drink. The little boy cried out, " Oh, mother, father is

taking poison." Witness ran and knocked the bottle out
of his hand. She saw he had taken a good deal, and she at
once ran for a doctor. Witness was about to be confined,
and she believed that deceased was distressed in mind about
her, as she had no means to meet the expense, but there was
no want of food.

Dr. Ralph said that at midnight on Friday last his assis•
taut was fetched to deceased, who found him dying. Witness
and Dr. Brotberton made a post-mortem examination of the
deceased, and found that he had been poisoned by a strong
corrosive poison—hydrochloric acid. The mouth and sto-
mach were dreadfully injured by the corrosive action of the
liquid. There was a general ulceration of the passages.
After other evidence, the Coroner summed up, and the
jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while in a state of un-
sound mind."

BRESLAU, Jan. 21.—The Gazette says—" A fresh
convoy of 500 exiles left Warsaw yesterday by
railway. A new rescript orders that nobles and
other citizens must provide themselves with a spe-
cial permission when they wish to go to a distance
of more than 12 miles from their homes. The pea-
sants and Jews are subjected to the same formality,
however small the distance may be. The Russians
have hanged four insurgents at Koclrlawek. Among
them was a German named Ludke."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu,--Are wilful deliberate murderess to escape merely
because they happen to be rich ? Under the act of 1840
two surgeons or physicians are to certify when a prisoner,
removed to a lunatic asylum on the ground of insanity, has
come to his senses again. It is now beyond dispute that
Townley was never mad at all, except according to the
crotchets of certain " psychologists, ' whose theories about
the philosophy of the human mind are themselves nothing
less than the dreams of a disordered brain, The Derbyshire
magistrates, in their last communication to Sir George
Grey, place &he matter beyond all doubt. The certificate of
insanity which caused Townley to be reprieved, seems to
have been obtained upon a misunderstanding—or, as plain
spoken people would call it, false pretences. It seems that
the givers of the certificate signed it, or some of them signed
it, under the impression that it was to be used, not to re-
prieve Townley and frustrate justice, but for the purpose
of bringing about a full and proper investigation into his
state of mind. Matters can never be suffered to remain as
they are. Then, again, as the magistrates show, thero are
other objections to the validity of the certificate. One is
that the only certificate which was legal in itself, and
apart from the grounds upon which it was ob-
tained, was not given and dated until after the
reprieve was issued and dated; so that there is nothing
to support the reprieve which therefore necessarily falls to
the ground. We are now told by Sir George Grey's advo-
cates that he may order a proper investigation into the case,
if ho sees fit.'' It ho doesn't see fit, he surely must be
incapable of seeing anything clearly at all. If he saw
reason to reprieve Townley, when no real valid reason
existed, surely with such a piercing sight he must be able
to see the manifold cogent reasons for instituting a fair,
public, satisfactory investigation. If he declines, then let
two surgeons or physicians certify under the Act of 1840
that Townley is now in his right mind, as any two surgeons
or physicians are empowered by the Act to de; a thing,
moreover, which any two surgeons or physicians may safely
do. Even Sir George Grey's principal advocates declare
themselves that no impartial and sensible person cognisant
of the facts, ever really believed that Townley was, or is,
ma& Enquiries of the kind ought to be public, with open
doors, with both sides represented, the prosecution and the
convicted murderer face to face, with full power of exami-
nation and cross-examination of witnesses. No hole and
corner or ex parte statements within closed doors. I began
with asking if rich murderers are to escape while poor ones
are hung ; I conclude with askiag if human life is to be
exposed to destruction because a Home secretary makes a
blunder, for this is contrary to
