TEWKESBURY AND MALVERN.

Yesterday the general meeting of this company was con-
vened at the offices, Parliament-street, bat there not being
a sufficient number of proprietors present to constitute a
meeting, the chairman, Mr D. J. Henry, congratulated the
meeting on the completion of the line, which had been
opened for public traffic in May last, and handed over to the
Midland Company for working under the powers conferred
by the Act of Parliament. The directors regretted that
they were unsuccessful with the bill they introduced into
Parliament for further capital, but would make another ap-
plication to Parliament next eession.
London, England, 1864-10-01

TENDRING HUNDRED.

•

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Thursday at Colchester; Mr W. W. Hawkins in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving th© adoption of the report,
congratulated the shareholders upon the increase of traffic
on the line. The receipts for the week ending Sept. 18
amounted to £4O, showing an increase of £lB over the cor-
responding week of 1863, although only three miles had been
opened for traffic. Ho had good reason for believing that
on the line being extended to the proposed station near the
centre of Colchester the present passenger traffic would be
doubled. When th© line was completed throughout to
Walton-on-the-Naze, by June, 1865, the traffic would well
repay the shareholders for the outlay.
Mr MOY seconded the adoption of the report, which was
unanimously agreed to, and the meeting closed with a vote
of thanks to the chairman and directors.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1864,

AWFUL POWDER EXPLOSION—This day.

Loss of Life, and Fifty or Sixty Persons
Severely Injured.

'his morning, shortly before seven o'clock, an explosion

—which shook the metropolis from its centre to its outskirts
and caused the utmost consternation— occurred at the Powder
Mils of Messrs. John Hall and Son, situated at Erith
Marshes. The explosion, unfortunately, has been attended
with loss of life and serious injury to upwards of 50 or GO
persons.

In London the general opinion was that the violent con-
cussion heard—the breaking in of shutters, the smashing of
glass, the rattlin'g of chairs, tables, and even bedsteads
was caused by the gas works having exploded in the Old
Kent-road, for windows and doors were shattered in the
districts of the Rosemary Branch, at Peckham. The
glasses at the Waterloo Arms Tavern, George-street, Cam-
berwell, wrre sent dancing about, and the tables and chairs
in the Father Red Cap, at Camberwell-park, were forced
round the large club room. The inmates of the Anchor
of Hope, in Southampton-stteet, were terribly frightened,
it being apprehended that the building was falling. Every
house in Camberwell-grove, stretching a distance on each
side of the road nearly half a mile in length, was
shaken, shutters forced down, dc). The same effects were
experienced at Stoke Newington, six miles further north-
wards. At Blackheath, the front of the premises of Mr.
Tripp present a picture that could only be caused by a fire,
or some violent explosion within the building. Most of the
houses from this spot to Dartford, are also more or
less injured. People flocked from their houses and
made towards gas-works and firework factories, but they
were unable to learn the least intelligence a.; to the locale of
the disaster, and many contented themselves by concluding
that this island had been visited by the shock of an earth-
quake, and they Expressed their thankfulness that their
houses had not been swallowed up.

off the rolls. Mr Justice Shee ordered certain document°
to be given up, and then he might bo released.

COLONIAL.

TrA,—There has been a moderato amount of business
transacted in greens from the late arrivals, Knd prices have
in most instances been well supported. Congou qualities
are rather dull, but remain at about former quotations.
St GAR —The Market has exhibited very little animation
owing to the firmness of holders. Good groceiy descriptions
of West India maintain full rates; while in the refined
nurket there is little change of importance to record as re-
gards values.

COPTEE.—The enquiry for plantation Ceylon has been
steady, and prices are well sustained.
RlCE.—Only a limited business has been recorded, and
quotations show little change of importance.
TALLow.—A steady business has been done for both
present and forward delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 41e, 61, and last three months, 445. 6d. per cwt.

'BONNET'S SILKS A LYON.—Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or

grater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England ; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
pos d by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.

EXTRAOItDINARY CAFE 01' STABBlNG.—lleinrich Gold'
meir, a sugar baker, was brought before ➢lr. Paget for the
seventh time, charged with stabbing John Bryan, on the
night of Saturday, the 6th of February last.
Mr. Partridge took the deposition of the wounded man
at the London Hospital, on Saturday, the 27th of February,
and in the presence of the prisoner, who is a German and
has only recently left his native country. Faint hopes
were then entertained of Bryan's recovery. He identified
Guldmeir as the person who stabbed him with a knife
in the right shoulder in the Cannon-street road, on the
night of the 7th ultimo. Several witnesses have
also given evidence, and stated that they saw Bryan
stabbed by the German, but the origin of the quarrel
has not been divulged. Bryan is a notoriously bad charac-
ter and has been frequently in custody, and it is supposed
that he gave the German some considerable provocation.
The wound was a very severe one, but it has been nearly
healed, and it is believed the patient would be likely to
recover, if a disease of a formidable nature had not super-
vened, Bryan has for a long time been a very dissipated
and drunken man, and soon after his admission to the hos-
pital "blood poisoning" occurred, and he is now being
treated for that disease.

Inspector Roberts, of the K division, said ho had
Bryan in the hospital this morning, Ile was in a ver) i
state, but Mr. Hunter, the house surgeon, said he might
recover, and handed to him the following certificate :
"London Hospital, March 15, IS6l.—This is to certify
that John Bryan was admitted into the hospital on Feb. 7,
with incised wound of shoulder, and is now suffering from
blood poisoning; and is still in a very dangerous state.
R. Hughes, house surgeon."
Mr. Paget again remanded the prisoner until Tuesday
next.

brought up on a warrant last Tuesday to give evidence
against Gardener wero enlarged.

recover, and handed to him the following certificate :

The Late King of Bavaria,

The intelligence of the illness of the late King of
Bavaria, and that his life was actually in danger,
fell upon the population of Munich on the 10th
inst. like an unexpected thunderclap. The theatre
was closed, and no music was performed that night
at the public places of amusement. Thousands of
persons of all classes hastened to the palace to
ascertain the latest news, and filled the apartments
adjoining the royal bedchamber, no person being
refused admission. The Queen did no:, quit the
bedside of her husband, nor did their children. The
other princes and princesses of the royal family
hastened to the palace, as did also all the Ministers.
The proof that the illness set in so suddenly is in
the fact that on the preceding day his Majesty was
engaged in transacting business up to three o'clock
in the afternoon, and that he then had an interview
with his guest, Prince Albert. At four o'clock, the
date of the first bulletin, the condition of the King
was ♦ery serious.

At half-past 10 on the 10th inst. the Marshal of
the Court, Count do Butler-Clonebough, announced
to the crowd assembled in the apartments at the
castle that there was no improvement in the King's
condition. At that time, however, his Majesty did
not sulfa, and was in full possession of his faculties.
Duripg the morning he had a fainting fit of a long
duration. At half-past 10 the Queen summoned
the Minister of the Royal Household, Baron von
Schrenk, and the Council of State met under the
presidency of Prince Luitpold.
At half-past 11 the condition of the King gave
no room for further hope. The Archbishop of
Munich was present, and administered to his Ma-
jesty the last consolation of religion. The physi-
cians had then left their royal patient.. Half an
boor after noon the lugubrious sound of the bells of
Munich announced the great blow which had fallen
on Bavaria. His Majesty had expired a quarter of
an hour previously.

clause in the company's Act, passed the year after
the Holmfirth flood, specifically fixes upon them the
damage caused by the failure or giving way of em-
bankments or reservoirs on any of their works.
The damage is estimated at half a million, which is
more than the capital of the company.
The authorities here have communicated with
the Home-office, and Sir G. Grey has sent down
Wit. Rawlinson, C.E., who arrived to-night.

We are requested to state that the Lord Mayor,
i❑ compliance with a wish of some gentlemen in the
city, conveyed to him yesterday, has undertaken to
receive contributions towards the relief of the
