EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER IN SHOREDITCH.
—Last night, about twenty minutes before nine o'clock, the
inhabitants of Shoreditch and its immediate vicinity, were
thrown into a state of consternation by a report as if of heavy
artillery being. discharged, and which shook the entire neigh-
bourhood. Report soon spread abroad which stated that the
premises of Mr. Clarke, an extensive oilman, of 224, Shore-
ditch, had been blown up with gunpowder, and that several
persons had sustained serious injuries. The firemen from the
neighbouring establishments were soon in attendance, and on
obtaining entrance into the premises it was discovered that a
warehouse of two stories of considerable extent was reduced to
ruins. It appears that, at the hour above specified, the ware-
houseman, a person of the name of Mason, entered the ware-
house, which was situated in the rear of Mr. Clarke's, and Mr.
Marratt's dwellings. No sooner had lie entered than the ex-
plosion took place. In an instant the whole rear of the ware-
house was completely unroofed, which was caused by the
ignition of gunpowder, but as to the quantity no particu.
lars could be obtained. Instantly bricks, pantiles, and frag-
ments of wood were thrown to a distance exceeding 150 yards,
and the scene that ensued it is impossible to describe. Men,
women, and children were to be seen quitting their dwellings
in a state of distraction, many of whom were bleeding pro-
fusely from the wounds received by the falling of the frag-
ments which were scattered by the explosion. The man,
Mason, was thrown a great distance, and when found was lying
in a state of insensibilit2-, bleeding. On being discovered he
was immediately conveyed into the dwelling of his employer,
Mr. Clarke, when it was, on examination, found that he had
received severe contusions and dreadful disfiguration from the
effects of the gunpowder. He was furthwith conveyed to his
own residence, George-street, where he now lies in a very pre-
carious state. The destruction of property in the surrounding
neighbourhood is considerable, several houses in Cups-court
being unroofed, and rendered uninhabitable in Plough-yard ;
also, some houses have been considerably damaged.
MR. LOVER'S NEW NATIONAL ROMANCE
" Roa' O'MORE."—Amongst the works of fiction that have
appeared, we must in fairness give the palm to Mr. Lover's
Rory O'More," which is full of the broadest Irish humour,
mixed with beautiful imagery, and the rich fruits of a truly
poetical mind. Mr. Lover seems to us to he a very extraor-
dinary person. He writes, composes, sings, draws, does every-
thing which, in this age of accomplishments, is most likely to
make a Lover successful. The originality of thought which
developer itself in his novel gives promise of even better
things, although we are perfectly satisfied with what we have.

THE LATE MURDER IN FREDERICK-STREET.
—Yesterday, at twelve o'clock. Mr. Stirling, the Coroner for
Middlesex, and a highly respectable Jury, assembled in the
King's Arms Tavern, Frederick-street, Regent's Park, for the
purpose of holding an inquest on the body of Eliza Davies,
aged 21, the bzrmaid in the above establishment, who was
barbarously murdered on Tuesday morning last. After hear-
*ng evidence at great length, the Jurymen consulted together,
and after a few minutes deliberation, returned a verdict of
Wilful and malicious Murder against some person or per-
sons unknown."—Ten o'Clock.—Whatever doubts might
have existed in the minds of some persons as to the way in
which the unfortunate young woman ( Eliza Davies), met her
death, it is now clearly demonstrated that the atrocious deed
was committed by the heartless ruffian who was observed on
the morning in question flying from the house with his hands
embrued in the yet warm blo4 of his victim. On the termina-
tion of that inquiry (which lasted till six o'clock), the verdict
of " Wilful and malicious Murder against some person or per-
sons unknown," spread like lightning through the neighbour-
hood, exciting a tenfold degree of sensation, and persons of
every description flocked to the scene of murder from all quar-
ters, so that in a very short period every avenue leading to the
house was blocked up by the dense multitude. Immediately
after the inquiry was over, Mr. Inspector Aggs, of the S di-
vision, and police constable Peglar, 104 S (who was employed
in bringing Greenacre to justice), proceeded in search of the
villain, who, according to information received, was supposed
to be lurking somen here in Camden Town, and in about an
hour afterwards it was reported that they had succeeded in
capturing him in a low house there. The report, however,
turned out to be premature, as up to ten o'clock last night he
had not been taken, though such a clue has boon obtained as
renders it almost impossible that he can long escape the hands
of justice, his person being so well kn.awn. It is expected that
the parish of St. Pancras will offer a large reward for his ap-
prehension in the course of a day or two, should it be found
necessary.

A singular ease came last week before the civil tri-
bunal at Nantes. An innkeeper of the town contracted to
lodge and board a M. A-- for a certain period at a fixed
price. At the end of a few days the appetite of the guest re-
quired such enormous supplies that the affrighted innkeeper de-
manded a supplementary credit, and carried his claim into
court. The judges, however, dismissed tho application with
