STEAM ENGINES

ON RAIL ROADS.

(From Might's Leeds Intelligencer,,lB2l. ) . .
"MOST DUEADFOL ACCIDENT.---On Saturday
afternoon last,- George Hutchinson, who was one of the men
employed in 'conducling the steam-engines used in conveying
coals from Middleton to this place, stopped at the usual place
on the road with a number of loaded waggons brought down,
and was waiting until a Sufficient'number of empty ones had
arrived there to be conveyed .back again. During the time he
was waiting he put a quantity of coals upon the fire, under the
boiler, and then left it to bUrn up, without having taken off
the spring or fastener by which the safety valve is kept steady
during the time the engine is in motion, and whereby thehoiler
is relieved by the.steain blowing off as soon as the pressure
arrive's at a certain point, without the ' least possible danger.—
On Hutchinson's return to the engine, after an absence of about
an hour and a half, it was discovered and pointed out -to him
by another man that the steam in his absence had got so high
as to be issuing through the cocks and apertures in the boiler,
and though he was requested to move on and thereby give relief
to the boiler, he had the imprudence not only to reject this salu-
tary advice, but to make the only cock by which any of the
steam could escape still tighter ; .and then to go to break up the
fire he had previously made. The fatal consequence was, that
the boiler burst, as it inevitably must do from the length of
time the engines had been standing; and the encreased pressure
of steam, occasioned entirely by the safety valve being dose
down ; and Hutchinson being then unfortunately standing at
the end neat the fire, he was carried by the violence of the ex-
, plosion to a very considerable distance, where his body was
afterwards found in a most mangled state, quite dead. These
I are the facts of
.this melancholy case as they have been carefully
"collected ; they may be relied upon. It is therefore ruite evi.
dent there is no blame imputable to any one but •to the unfor-
tunate individual who has fallen a victim to his own negligence
by leaving the boiler standing with a large fire Under it with
the safety valve. Made' fast down for a considerable time, and
then further overcharging, in defiance of the prudent caution
given to him by his companion. The, explosion was heard at
the distance of a mile and a half. The iron Wheels of the
carriage' on• which the engine was placed were broken.. The
damage is estimated at some hundred pounds.-. It is'some con-
solation, under the painful impression produced by this shock-
ing accident;' that Hutchinson ead'xici family."

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAnc) 20.

The a7rivaltinf.all sorts of Graiu last week were only.modef,..
rate, anti the quantity of Flour was not large. • This morning
there are small fresh.supplies of .Wheat, Barley, .Ber.;18, and
Antse from Essex, Kent, .and Suffolk ; and there are very few.
vessels fresh up with Oats. Prime samples of Wheat are
scarce, and such sell freely at terms 'fully equal to those of this
day so'nnight, but other sorts are very dull and rather cheaper.
Barley does not meet sale with airy freedom to-day, and
the :prices of this day sennight are with much • difficulty
obtained. Beans Sell very heavily, and ' soft samples
are rather. cheaper;• Boiling-Peas are scarce, and there is but
little doing in them; .Grey ,Peas are unaltered ; Oats are not
plentiful, and the prices of this day se'nnight are fully main-
tained for this article. In the Flour_ trade there is no alteration.
Linseed. and Rapeseed sell heavily. . . '- ' ' • -
