The persons on the premises were Joseph Ryder, Philip Moore, and
John Blacklidge. Moore and Ryder were killed upon the spot. Black.
lidge was blown out of the building, and taken to his friends. He is not
expected to live. Jchn Hanson and Daniel Titus were both engaged on
;he premises. Titus had stepped out, and was saved. Hanson was coming
in at the door with a pail of water. He was singular to say, blown over
the roof of a two story building, 80 yard from the spot, and alighted
against a fence, near which some men were working. He had no limbs
broken, but was much bruised, And his face, hands, and head dreadfully
burnt. His eyes are quite out. Ha was carried to Bellevue.hospital.
There is little hope of his recovery.

Hans who now lies in the hospital, says that Blacklidge was runr►ino
down rockets just before the explosion, with an !r,,n rammer : he heard
this rammer fall, and supposes it must have struck against a stone and
produced a spark and the explosion.

The varnish factory adjoining the premises was burnt to the ground.
Ryder has left a widow and four children to deplore his loss. Hanson
is a single man. Blacklidge has been married about five months.
Moore was nearly out of his.apprenticeship. Blacklidge, we learn, is
since dead —New York Daily Whig, of May 17.
A Now ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE.--We are c e libly informed
there is an establishment in this city for the Lurpose of manufacturin
ni,Nrisrs. The time occupied to make a first-rate dentist is from six
months to three weeks. In the perfection of mod,,rn machinery, rare
material is not unfrequcntly put into one end of a mill and comes out
at the other a perfect production fit for use. The process at our ma-
nufactory is quite similar. Some man without education, and to say
the least, without the natural faculties which will ever astonish the
world, dissatisfied with the slow results of his business, and conceiv-
ing the high purpose of rising in the world, and leading henceforth a
life ofease and affluence, has caught some rumour of the wonderful art of
dentistry. He has not the least knowledge of surgery, nor of medical
science, ner even of the rudiments of a public course of edu-
cation ; nor can he enter upon the profession by so long and tedious a
road as others have done and must do, in order to make themselves
worthy of public countenance. He comes to this city, and is put
into this manufactory. The short space of time stated above, sees him
an altered man. Before he was a plain, unpretending farmer or site.
ehanic. Now he is a dentist-surgeen I adequate to manage the most
difficult cases, and give entire satisfaction. He is furnished with sundry
certificates, whose flaring capitals shall confound you, and put your in.
credulity to the blush. His flaming handbill, abounding with terms
like the following :—Sole Inventor ! Diamond Teeth ! Long Experi-
ence! Most Approved Principles !" A dentist in this city notifies the
public that he inserts teeth which are composed of diamonds ! He has
succeeded in making some believe it, and sold for the round stun of 100
dollars each tooth, which cost him less than one shilling.

MR. SEFTON, OP THE FRANKLTS.—OUr Boston correspondent the other
day asked whether Mr. Sefton were a hard manager ? From all we can
learn he only deserves the appellation by paying his company punctually
in hard money.

It is very prevalent here for young men to hire sleeping rooms and
eat their meals anywhere, as it may happen. One morning, rather
late, one of these youngers was returning home with six raw eggs in his
hat. He had just purchased them for his breakfast, when, aeci.
dentally, he met in Broadway a female acquaintance, and being rather
flustered, all thoughts of his " marketing" were driven out of his mind.
He very politely doffed his chapeau to the lady. What was the conse-
quence ? Why, as his bat came off, out rolled the eggs, to his utter di c.
may, and to the astonishment of the lady. He was ()Win the twinkling
of a case knife. The lady's dress was most wofully bespattered.

SHAMEFUL MISCONDUCT OF A GENTLEMAN
IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.-011 Friday a person of gentlemanly ap.
pe:irance, about twenty-two years of age, was brought before Mr.
Pilkington, the sitting magistrate at the Kensington Petty Sessions,
in the custody of Shearlock, A 125, charged with having acted in the
following unbecoming manner in Kensington Gardens :—Shearlock,
while on duty In the Gardens, shortly after one o'clock that afternoon,
was informed by several persons whom he met, that a most " odd
fish" had for the previous quarter of an hour been exhibiting itself in
the round pound opposite the windows of Kensington Palace. On in.
(miring the genus of the creature they parties said they were not suf-
ficiently versed in the science of ichthiology to define it, but in their
opinion it resembled a mer-man more than anything eloe. lle hurtle-
mediately hastened to the spot, when he discovered the creature near
the surface of the water, basking in the sun, its head only being visible.
On inquiring of numerous females who were viewing the creature
from a distance, he ascertained that in its sportiveness it had
emerged three times from its native element and traversed the
outer circle of the pond, to their no small alarm and consternation..
Wishing to take a more accurate examination of the supposed amplii;
bious being, he approached near to the edge of the - water, when the
creature, as if not liking his presence, made for the opposite shore, and
before he could get round, it scrambled up the bank and ran alOng the
rass for full 500 yards towards the long wood, to the infinite dismay of
the promenaders, when strikine its fin or foot against the rout of a tree,,
it foil close to three ladies, who were quietly enjoying the cooling breeze-
under the shady foliage, who, alarmed at its pre,ence, scampered away-
ted cn witness reaching the spot he discovered that the " odd fish" was'

when, having dressed, he was conveyed to

the station-house in Chureh.couit, Kensington. Dexter, A 26, corro..
borated the evidence of Ins brother constable, and said thatthe prisoner;
when taken into custody, did not appear at all intoxicated, but perfectly
collected. The worthy Magistrate told him such improper conduct.
could not be tolerated. Ile should correct his amphibious propensiW,.*.

one days. He was accordingly committed.
