THE DREADFUL IN
BERMONDSEY.—(THIS DAY.)
The inquest on the four unfortunate individuals
who fell victims to the meal explosion', that occurred
a few days sine in Brook-street, Bermondsey, took
place to-day at one o'clock, before Mr. Carter, the
coroner for East Surrey, at the King John's Head,
Abbey.street, Bermondsey. The four unfortunate
individuals are George Barlow, 46 ; William Barling,
20; James Barling, 4 ; and Thomas Barling, 18
months; and the cause of the death, our
readers will recollect, was the explosion of a
large quantity of fire-works in Brook-street, Ber-
mondsey, where the father of three of the deceased
carried on the business of a fire-work maker. The
accident took place on Friday last, and the elder
Mr. Barling and his wife ,!with two other persons, are
now lying dangerously ill of the injuries they hare
received at Guy's Hospital.
The Beadle, in answer to the questions of the
Coroner, said that it would be impossible to identify
the bodies of the deceased, and that with respect
to three of the persons in the hospital, it might be
months before they were sufficiently recovered, if
they ever did recover, to give their evidence.
Mr. Barling might or might not recover
in a few days. Two of the children of
Mr. Barling might give some account of
how many individuals were in the house at the time
of the accident, but that was uncertain.
The jury having been sworn, and shortly addressed
by the Coroner on their duties, proceeded to view
the bodies, and on their return

Richard Henderson, the foreman of the London
Fire Brigade, was examined—On Friday last he was
called to a fire in New Brook-street, Bermondsey,
about ten o'clock at night. On arriving with his
engine, he found the dwelling-house No. 4, in
that street, nearly burnt out. There were two
engines there befure him. About half an hour after
he arrived the fire was extinguished. Witness then
went into the ruins with his lamp, and after
ordering the engine to be made up, he looked
about among the ruins again, and found the
remains of a full-grown person lying with, his head
to the parlour window ; he was in a perfect state of
nudity, his clothes having been burnt off. Such was
the state of mutilation that witness could not dis-
cover the sex. The body was removed, and in the act
of doing so another was discovered on the left hand
side of the parlour. This body was laying on its
back and was as much mutilated as: the other ; the
features were entirely destroyed. Witness put the
bodies under the care of the parochial authorities.
Another search was made among the ruins, to see if
any other bodies could be found, but that night no
further bodies were found. Witness had no doubt
death arose from the fire, but he had seen bodies worse
burnt.
[The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.]

Ribaldry, on the other hand, was in high favour, a con-
siderable sum having been laid out at 10 and 12 to 1.
Legerdemain was backed for two or three hundred
pounds, at 15 and 20 to 1; Fugleman for about the same
amount, at 50 to 1 and 1,000 to 15. The betting in other
respects was unimportant.

CLIFTON.—We ought to record with thankfulness
that our beautiful village of Clifton still remains exempt
from the diro disease which has so fatally prevailed in
other places; its pure air and pure springs of water
from the surrounding hills render it one of the most
attractive of residences. We cannot but:admire the efforts
Made to beautify and; adorn it in all quarters; but our
attention has been particularly directed to the renova-
tions of Richmond-terrace, which seems to have restored
its pristine attractions to that excellent row of commo-
dious dwellings; and when the small part of the ter-
race left untouched has been put into proper uniform, it
will vie with its juvenile competitors on the hill.—B, iAtol
Journal.
