THE CASE OF CURRIE AND CUNNINGHAM. —The
Observer says, that Mr. Currie was not bailed out by his
friends as was anticipated on Saturday, although notice
to that effect had been served on the solicitor for the
prosecution. The officers have discovered that the Rev.
Mr. Gordon, who is a member of a highly respectable
Scotch family, and related to many distinguished persons
in that country, has been for some considerable time
leading an irregular and profligate life. Three years ago
he succeeded in seducing a young woman, who lived a
servant at the house he lodged at. On makingl her rev.
seducer acquainted with her pregnancy, he endeavoured
to prevail on her to take some pills, but she peremptorily
refused to comply with his request, and the consequence
was a natural birth. The child was christened George
Campbell Gordon, with the addition of the mother's
name, and Mr. Gordon contributed to his support until
the week before last, when the mother received a letter
from Mr. Gordon, to the effect that the amount he then
sent was the last money she might expect, as he was
about to leave the kingdom, and her friends and herself
must therefore look to the future maintenance of the
child. Mrs. Morden has also received a letter from the
solicitor of the Rev. Mr. Gordon, to state that that
gentleman had resigned his clerical appointment in the
parish of St. Andrews, Holborn, and bad left the
country •, but this is supposed to be a ruse to put the
police off their guard. The opinion generally expressed
on the evidence which has up to the present appeared,
is, that there is nothing, or at least not sufficient to im-
plicate the Rev. Mr. Gordon in the serious and disgust-
ing charge ; but the fact is, that the evidence in refer-
ence to the part he enacted in the affair has not been
touched on, except in se far as it was necessary to the
guilt of the prisoner Cunningham, and the payment to
that person of ten sovereigns, which Miss Morden had
received from Mr. Gordon.
RAGGED REFUGE. —Yesterday, the Bishop of St.
David's preached at All Saints, Mile-end New-todm,
for the King Edward Schools and Eastern Refuge. He
urged the necessity for such an institution, the heavy
debt on the schools, and the gallant endeavour of the
committee, despite this obstacle, to raise a refuge for the
homeless poor of this wretched -neighbourhood.

BOILER EXPLOSION.-011 Wednesday morning an ex-
plosion took place of one of the boilers in the extensive
premises of the York-street Flax-spinning Company,
when two boys were killed en the spot, and five others
seriously injured.—Belfast Nortitern, Whig.
