It is confidently stated that such was the avidity
of the Tory ladies for office that they insisted on
a universal turn out. Nay, some of them
went so far as to insist on ordering not only the
dinner, but the guests for the Royal table ! Hap-
pily for the country, the Royalty of England
would not brook such indignity, and the dreams
of yesterday have vanished with the winds—some
say to Northunzberland.
THE WEATHER.— Yesterday morning, after
the thunder storm, the weather became extremely cold for
the season ; and this day at noon_ the thermometer was 12
degrees lower than it was at the same hour two days ago.
Though the barometer has been nearly as high as 30
degrees for these few days, there have been heavy falls of
rain, with a keen north-cast win,d.

ANOTHER POWDER MILL DESTROYED.—
Yesterday (Monday) morning, hilst the workmen em-
ployed at one of Mr. Hall's powder mills, at Faversham,
were at breakfast,
a mill was burnt down, supposed by a
spark from one of the chimneys, or the overheating of
some of the material. There were 20 or 30 charges" of
the raw material, all prepared and mixed for the pro-
cess of manufacture. The explosion was felt at Fa-
versham, and supposed
to have taken place in the mix-
ing-house, which, with the charcoal and brimstone-
house=, are destroyed. The timely arrival of the engines
saved the saltpetre and cylinder houses. The loss is
estimated at from .500/. to 8001. An explosion of a green
charge took place at one of the nearest to Ospringe
last week, which blew out one side of the building, and
the man in attendanca had his hands and face very dread-
`fully burnt.
