D READf !IL LarnostoN.—On Saturday morning at
an early hour a most alarming accident, arising out of
the Explosion of a steam boiler, took place at the exten-
sive prOW ISL'S known w the Bevington-bush Brewery,
si!nAte at the upper end of Bevington•bush, Liverpool,
rented by Messrs. ilalsall, Seger, and Co. The first in-
dication of the fearful occurrence was shortly after mid-
rii;;ht, when the whole of the north end of the town was

alarmed by a loud and continued report, resembling a
heavy disct arge of Artillery. The police entered the
premises, and in a short timelthey succeeded in extricating
two men employed in the brewery—Thomas Worthing
tou and William Langton, who were dragged from
underneath a load of alien bricks, beams, and other

na,terial3. Worthington escaped with only a few
slight bruies and wounds, but Langton had his
shoulder-blarle dislocated. I❑ a short time afterwards
Mr. Segar was discovered under a heap of rubbish,
but it was with the greatest difficulty he could be

extricated, and this was only Effected-by taking him
through a hole in one of the cottages adjoining
the fallen building. His wounds are of a most
striAmi nature. A large portion of the skull bad been
left completely bare, the scalp having been torn away.
a 3 well as the other sufferers, aro, however, going
on favouraiily, and no doubt is entertained of their ulti-
mate recovery. The explosion has produced the most
destructive effects to the building, the interior being a
complete wreck. A number of cottages near the spot
have been shaken to the very foundation, and many have
the roofs blown off. Several horses in the brewery stable
were save], though the stable was.blocked up for a time
by the fallen rubbish. A labourer named Maxwell, his
wife, and six chi'dren, slept in an attic, and were com-
pletely covered by the roof. Maxwell himself had his
shoulder hurt, and his wife was also injured, but not se-
riously; the children all escaped unhurt, with the excep-
tion of one little fellow, who had his leg wounded in
de,,conding the staircase. No opinian can yet be formed
as to the cause of the accident. The boiler, which was
of Eva horse-power, and had been in use for about three
years, was considered a strong one, and the engine was
not at work when the accieent took place.

No IRISH MAIL FOR AMERICA.—We are under
the necessity of again stating that the Irish mail, con-
taining all the correspondence for the United States and
Canada, has once morn failed to arrive in time for the
steam-ship Hibernia. Had the Irish mail been posted
by the City of Dublin Company's steam-ship last night
this excessive annoyance would not now have occurred,
as the arrival of these vessels here are always exceed-s
ingly prompt and punctual.—Liverpool Chronicle.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The Royal mail steam-
ship Hibernia, Captain Stone, departed from the Mersey
at noon to-day for Halifax and New York, with the
usual North American mails, and about 90 passengers.
The Pacific Navigation Company's steamer Bolivia,
Captain Brown, also left the Mersey for Valparaiso,
Calling at Mathira and Rio Janeiro to take in coal.
She takes out 35 passengers. The Bolivia is intended
to carry the British mails between Valparaiso and
Panama.

TUE LAT g BISHOP OF LLANDAFF.—Yesterday
afternoon a funeral sermon was d.hvered, at the ca-
thedral of St. Paul's, by the Ray. T. Dale, vicar of St.
Pancras and canon residentiary of St. Paul, to the
memory of the late Bishop of Llandaff. The pulpit
was hung' with a black pall, and in front was the
achievement of the late respected prelate. The maces
of the vergers were covered with black crape. The Rev.
Canon took his text from 1 Thess. vii. 14, from which
he addressed a very effective discourse, and alluded to
the many estimable qualities of his Lordship. The
Rev. Mr. Shutte read the prayers, and the Rev. Mr.
Percy the le,sons. Two anthems were chanted by the
gentlemen of the choir, one by Handel and the other by
Green.

QUICK TRANSIT OP GOODS PROM MANCHESTER TO
CARLISLE.--We are informed that a few tons of drapery
goods, addressed to Carlisle tradesmen, left Manchester
on Monday morning last, were the same day shipped on
board the Royal Victoria steamer in Liverpool, and that
vessel sailed at ten o'clock the same night. The steamer
arrived in Maryport on Tuesday forenoon, and the same
evening the goods were in Carlisle. The charge through-
out was only 17s. 61. per ton. We noticed in our co-
lumns two or three weeks ago, that goods from Newcas-
tle were taken to Liverpool as cheaply as to Carlisle, and
expressed an opinion that in this matter our townsmen
were ill used, but we are glad to note from the above that
they come in for a slice of good luck now and then ;
inleed, we begin to fancy that distance has not much to
do with the rate of carriage in these days of competition.

How TO CllOOBl3 AND BOIL EGGS.—The safest
way to try them is to hold them to the light, forming a
focus with your hand; should the shell be covered with
small dark spots, they are very doubtful, and should be
broken separately in a cup, and each egg smelt previous
to using them. If, however, in looking at them, you see
no transparency in the shells, you may be sus° they are
rotten, and only fit to be thrown away. The most
precise way is to look at them by the light of a candle.
If quite fresh, there are no spots upon the shells, and
they have a brilliant light yellow tint. New laid eggs
should not be used until they have been laid about eight
or ten hours, for that part which constitutes the white is
not properly set before that time, and does not obtain its
delicate flavour. Three minutes are sufficient to boil a
full-sized egg, but if below the average size two minutes
and a half will suffice. Never boil eggs for salads, sauces,
or any other purpose, more than ten minutes, and when
done,
place them in a basin of cold water for five minutes
to cool. Nothing is more indigestible than an egg too
hard boiled M. Qoyer, s Modern Housewife.
CHAIN L11,11(9 roa CwikeßrLeEN. &C.---On Wednesday
last, some experiments
dill-wall,
on the premises of
Messrs. Brown and Lennox, Stepney, to test
the power of links for mooring-ch.:sU'

purposes, formed on the principle o;treaVes, and other
vemnown among
Islington-terrace, a gentleman already
scientific men as the inventor of imp
an-
chors. The object of the inventor is to lessen ts
the
purse and weight of chains as at present constructed,
by by doing away with the stud or cross-bar of the link,'
and making the link with straight or parallel aides, and
not of the present oval shape; his principle being that
the fibre of the iron being kept straight, it will sustain or
resist a much greater weight °retrain than when the force
is exerted against it transversely. The test was com-
pletely satisfactory, a link of iron seven• eights of an inch
in diameter, with parallel sides three inches in length
and two inches and a quarter in breadth, without a stud,
not breaking till a strain of eighteen tons was put on it,
being eight tons and a half beyond the Government
proof. This invention is worthy the notice of nautical
men, and those who require chains for other purposes.

FRANCE.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY.

If there be any truth in the signs which mark the
political sky, this country is once again on the eve of
great events, if not of another revolution. By, no
doubt, the special dispensation of an avenging Provi-
dence, the stupendous crime of the slaughter of the
Roman Republic by the arms of France, is, according
to all appearance, about to be expiated by the destruc-
tion of the miserable, infamous, and imbecile Govern-
ment by which it was conceived and executed.
You are aware that a profound split has, within the
last fe w days, arisen in the ranks of the majority of the
Assembly—that atrocious confederation of parties of
different and hostile political creeds, banded into con-
federacy for the purpose of overthrowing the Re-
public,
,and placing the people once again under the
galling yoke of tyranny. This split arose in conse-
quence of President Bonaparte, having—in compunc-
tion, probably, for his infamous participation in
the Roman atrocity—resolved that the Pope
and the Cardinals should be compelled to grant cer-
tain liberties and privileges to the people of the
Roman states, as the price of their restoration. M.
Thiers, however, as the organ of the extreme Con-
servative or Tory faction—a set more blind and
bigoted even than the Tories of England—opposed
the President on this point, contending that the Pope
had done enough, and should be allowed to act as he
pleased for the future. At first Bonaparte was firm,
but terrified by the probable consequences of his re-
sistance, he has knocked under. In consequence his
Minister of Foreign Affairs went yesterday to the
Assembly, and with baseness unexampled, and false.
hood unparalleled, attempted to show that the restora-
tion of the Pope pur et simple was the intention of
the Roman expedition ; that the concessions made
by the Pope were satisfactory as far as they
went ; and that they were substantially
the same as those specified by the President, in the
letter which he wrote to his Aide-de-camp, M. Ney,
in August last, and which was understood to be the
basis of French policy.
It would not be easy to describe the stupefaction
and the disgust which all this has occasioned. People
are astounded that the Government of a great nation
should, for any consideration on earth, consent to
sink so low. They are humiliated at being so dis-
graced in the face of Europe. They can scarcely
believe that a man, of the glorious name of Bonaparte,
can thus allow himself to be dishonoured and ruined.
The President probably hopes that this new act of
baseness will keep together the famous majority in
his interest. He might as well hope to be able to
prevent water from extinguishing fire, or fire from
drying up water. Not more opposed are these two
elements to each other, than are the two great divi-
sions of the majority to him. They may make use
of him as their instrument, but support him for his
own sake—never. The moment he becomes an ob-
stacle to their designs they would fling him away as li
unceremoniously as the peel of a sucked orange.
And when the majority shall be broke up, what is
the poor President to do? He is already casting
out feelers for the support of the Democratic party ,
but he has betrayed "them too grossly and treated
them with ingratitude too black ever to be taken into
their confidence. What is he to do ? Great is his
perplexity. But meanwhile the Democratic cause—
the cause of true order, true liberty, of the law and
the Constitution—is gaining strength apace. Le Plot
monte—mente toujours I is the joyous acclamation
of the people's friends. Yet, it rises so rapidly
that it will soon sweep away every obstacle that can
be opposed to it.
Therefore it is then, I say, that France is once
again on the brink of mighty events, of another re-
volution.

These repeated revolutions excite in England, I
am aware, strong prejudice against the French
people. Buti in truth the French have no alternative
but to make them—unless, indeed, they choose to
submit to monstrous tyranny, and the violation of all
law. For, hitherto they have not reaped any benefit
from their repeated political convulsions, not from
any fault of their own, but from the treason of the
miserable intriguers who inveigle themselves into
power, and by cunning or violence baffle the just
expectations of the people.

Great interest continues to be excited by the trial
at Versailles of the accused of the affair of the 13th
June. Very many witnesses have already been
examined, but not the ghost of a conspiracy has been
found, and it is very doubtful that the public pro-
secutors will be able to make out any case at all. A
vast public demonstration there most undoubtedly
was; but that was not only strictly legal, but wai
called forth by the scandalous violation of the Con-
stitution made by the Government in the expedition
to Rome ; the object of that demonstration being, not
to violate, but to defend and vindicate the law.
Nevertheless, the accused are morally certain of being
condemned ; they are tried by their political oppo
nents, and by a partial court, who would condemn
themselves politically by rendering a just verdict.

The excitement caused by political events, and
above all the dangers which every one sees impending
—for there is always danger in a revolution, however
legitimate—makes trade slack, keeps hotels empty,
and increases the misery of the people.
BLEU-BLANC-ROUGE.

Some of the journals state that there is no truth in
the statement made by the Evenement, that a Rus-
sian aide de camp had declared to M. de Tocqueville
that the entrance of a French fleet in the Dardanelles
would be considered as a declaration of war against
Russia.

The Assemblee Nationale says—
`• Is it really the case that the English squadron is
destined to the Dardanelles? Is it certain that the
French squadron is to: winter in the Dardanelles, and
brave the dangers of a station impracticable after the
10th of Doember? We are of opinion that the English
fleet is sent to repress the insurrection of the Seven
Islands, and that our ships will winter at Smyrna, in
case they really pass the ports of the Morea."
The Dix Decembre contains the following note:—

" At the moment of going to press we are assured that
the royalist faction is making every effort to stifle the
affair of the disagrement—first, in order to compromise
'the President of the Republic by imputing to him a
species of retractation; and, next, by taking time to
manage affairs better."

The .Reforme copies the above note, and adds the
following observations :
" We demand of the journal of the Elysee why it is
not more explicit in the note which it inserts, and why it
confines itself to mysterious attacks? What is the Royal-
ist faction' of which it speaks? How will it compromise
the President ? And what events is it preparing ?
We believe we can give some inflrmation, which has
been furnished to us by a correspondent at Frankfort,
whom we believe to be well informed, with respect to
the intrigues which are in progress. He informs us
that the Duchess of Orleans lately addressed herself
to the Emperor of Russia, requesting his protection for
the Count de Paris. Nicholas returned a direct refusal.
The ex-King Louis Philippe, having been informed of
this fact, and despairing of the northern powers, has de-
termined to attempt a coup-de mein in France, convinced
that he might succeed in causing it to be accepted like the
' fait accomple of 1830. He has since spared no pains.
He has organized a vast correspondence, and he
every day receives numerous despatches at Claremont
by special couriers. His hopes are founded on the
relations he has contracted with his ancient par-
tisans, who believe they are sure of a majority in
the Legislative Assembly, as well as with several
generals, some of whom hold high command. It would
appear, however, that the ex King wishes first to place
his son Montpensier on the throne of Spain. Queen
Isabella has no great love for the throne, and advantage
is taken of the scandal she gives to excite the Moderate
party against her. Her mother aids the conspirators,
and acts solely under the inspiration of Louis Philippe,
who is employing all his resources and those of the Queen
Mother for the success of his plans. He has gained
over several generals who betrayed Don Carlos, and
who are now ready to turn against Queen Isabella.
The Spanish journal Esperanza is the organ of
the Montpensier party at Madrid. As regards France,
advantage would be taken of the confusion created by
such an event to attempt the execution of the plot of
which, if we are to believe the organ of the Elysee, all
the ramifications are discovered. As for us, let us
watch closer than they do at the Elyr6N The adorers
of the Government of to-day would adore that of to-
morrow, and we will not suffer any party to deprive us
of the precious conquests obtained by democracy. A
fallen King thus spends the last days of an existence
which was exclusively devoted to intrigue, to crime, and
to falsehood, and he has for his auxiliaries the Baziles
and Tartuffes recently converted."
The illoniteasr contains a dispatch from Captain de
la Tocnaye, giving an account of an expedition
executed by the French corvettes La Recherche and
Prudente, and the Belgian schooner Louise Marie, in
the Rio Nunez, on the western coast of Africa. Ma-
! jore, a king of one of the tribes residing on the banks
of that river, having of late obliged the European
traders by his exactions, to quit the country, on the
24th of March last, the three vessels entered the Rio
Nunez, and having taken a position in front of his
principal establishment, within 40 yards of the shore,
opened a fire of artillery and musketry against the
entrenchments he had erected for its protection. In
less than three-quarters of an hour, the barricades
being levelled, Captain de la Tocnaye landed, at the
head of 120 or 130 men, and 18 Ycloffs (blacks), and
dislodged the enemy from all their positions. A shell
falling on the house of Majors set it on fire, and that
chief, finding all further resistance useless, flel into

that Protectorate would have dev
and, under the cloak of Austria, perhapsnonAuGstria,
Britain. He then described the importance of
Protectorate, which made France the umpire of all
the difficulties that arose between the limy

See and the minor Catholic Powers. Napoleon said
that the amity of the Pope was worth an army of
200,000 men ; and there was no exaggeration in that
appreciation of the Emperor when it was considered
that he was the spiritual chief of 200,000,000 of
souls. M. Thuriot then described the terror pre-
vailing at Rome when the French army presented
itself at its gates. It had reached such a pitch, that
on the eve of the arrival of Garibaldi, the population
in despair was disposed to treat with General Oudinot.
He then enumerated the arbitrary measures resorted
to by the triumvirs to maintain their power, and
showed the people groaning under the most intolerable
of tyrannies—that of anarchy. The only persons
who enjoyed freedom were Mazzini, Garibaldi, and
their band—the convicts whom they had liberated
and enrolled under their banner—and, he would
add, a schismatic bishop, who, by fraud and
forgeries, had surprised the confidence of Pope
Leo XII., and caused himself to be con-
secrated a bishop. The individual, who, in every
civilized country, would have been sentenced to the
galleys for those sacrilegious frauds, was confined
in the prisons of the Inquisition, and restored to
liberty by the revolutionists. In conclusion, he de-
clared himself satisfied with the motu proprio of
Pius IX., and voted in favour of the credits demanded
for the expedition to Rome.
General Cavaignac, who followed, said, that it had
been often asserted that the expedition he intended to
send to Italy, in November last, had pointed out the
course the Government had since followed. Such
was not the case. He had been informed

thought he could not do less than offer assistance to a
" respectable man," who demanded protection from
the French Republic. M. de Corcelles was ordered
to Civita Vecchia, and 3,000 or 4,000 men placed at
his disposal to enable him to accomplish his mission.
On reaching Marseilles, M. de Corcelles was officially
informed that the Pope had safely arrived at Gaeta,
and that his personal security was no longer in dan-
ger. He sailed from Marseilles without the
expedition. Secret instructions were given to M. de
Corcelles, but they nowise affected the Roman ques-
tion. He was told to concert measures with M.
d'Harcourt, and should the latter not concur in his
views he was to succeed him as Minister of the
Republic. He then contended that when the Pope
left Rome the Romans had a right to give them-
selves a Government independent of him. The
French Cabinet recommended his Holiness to return
to Rome, and to come to an understanding with his
people. The Pope having refused, it was natural to
suppose that the Romans would adopt a Republican
form of government. France was placed in this
alternative. She should either allow another Power
to crush the Roman Republic, which would have
produced the ruin of her influence in Italy, or attack
it herself, in violation of the principle of her Govern-
ment. General Cavaignac was of opinion that,
in the course of time, the popular sovereignty,
would ultimately absorb the temporal sore-
reignity of the Pope, and that the Romans
would then establish a form of government to which
it would be subordinate. Had he planned the expe-
dition and sent an army to Rome, he should have pre-
sented himself with an ultimatum, stipulating the esta-
blishment of a secular administration, and of a repre-
sentative government, and the grant of municipal in-
stitutions. General Cavaignac then blamed the reporter
of the committee (M. Thiers) for having stated that the
Constitution was defective. The Assembly itself did
not possess thatjright, and cifortiori are of its committee.
Then, returning to the report, he found it in direct
opposition with a document emanating from the Pre-
sident of the Republic. That document contained prin-
ciples highly patriotic, and worthy not only of the im-
mortal name of the writer hut of the great nation who
chose him for its chief. Buthe belived that the President
had no right to substitute a personal policy to that of
the Assembly. The Constitution was precise on the
subject. The Assembly was sovereign in foreign
matters, and a conflict would naturally arise between
the executive and legislative powers, which would
inflict a mortal blow on the authority of the former,
that would be truly deplorable. He then examined
the results of the expedition, and declared that it
had not increased the influence of France in Italy.
He was also of opinion that it had not secured to the
Roman people the degree of liberty it was entitled
to, that is, a secular administration, a serious re-
presentation, and municipal institutions. If the
Assembly took the view of the question presented
yesterday by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, he
would certainly vote against the credits demanded for
the expedition.
M. Victor Hugo, the next speaker, said that, after
the battle of Novarre, when the expedition to Rome
was agreed to, General Lamoriciere ascended the
tribune, and said, "Italy has just lost her battle of
'Waterloo. Austria is now mistress of Italy. She
will proceed to Rome, and there renew the atrocities
she has perpetrated at Milan. It' you intend to pre-
vent it, you must send an expedition to Rome."
M. Odilon Barrot having replied that the French
troops would be a safeguard to liberty and humanity,
the General exclaimed—" If we cannot save the Re.
public, let us at least save liberty."
N. Hugo then drew a hideous picture of the atro-
cities committed by the Haynaus and Radetzkys,
which he denounced to the indignation of mankind.
Those atrocities had been already branded in the
British Parliament, and the French Assembly could
not but join in imprecations against such monsters.—
(Loud acclamations on the Left.)
M. Hugo then referred to the letter written by the
President of the Republic. He should have preferred
an act of Government deliberated in council ; but such
as it was, it fixed a basis for the negotiation, and gave
the Pope useful advice in his own interest. The motzt
proprio was the reply of his Holiness to the letter. In
point of liberty, it granted nothieg ; in point of cle-
mency, it granted still less. It decreed propositions
en masse under the fallacious name of an amnesty.
Now, if the Assembly adopted the letter, it con-
demned the motu proprio, and vice versa, and he en-
treated his colleages to bear in mind that Austria her-
self disapproved of the act of the Pontiff. The great
object of France should be to reconcile Rome with
the Papacy. In order to effect that reconciliation
it was indispensable that the Sovereign Pontiff should
comprehend the wants of the age and of his people;
that he should hoist the banner dear to Italians—
" secularization and nationality" and distrust his worst
enemy; he did not mean the revolutionary spirit, but
the clerical spirit. M. Hugo then called on the
Assembly to insist on an unconditional amnesty—
(Cries of " No, no," on the Right.) "If you do
not," exclaimed M. Hugo, " we will require it, and
force the Pope to grant it."—(Loud murmurs on the
Right, and bravos on the Left.) He then
said it was the interest of France to
evacuate Rome as soon as possible, as otherwise it
would become for her a new Algeria, and devour her
children and treasure. But she should beware of
leaving behind the seeds of a new revolution. The
expedition, irreproachable at its onset, might become
blameable and criminal in its results. This would
be the case if France neglected to maintain and safely
guard the liberty of the Roman people. He trusted,
in conclusion, that the French arms in going to Rome
may have reaped something else besides shame.—
(Cheers on the Left.)
M. Victor Hugo, on descending from the tribune,
received the congratulations of the members of the
Mountain.

M. de Montalembert, who succeeded, observed that
the speech of M. Hugo had received the chastisement
it deserved by the applause it had elicited.—(Uproar
on the left ; cries of " Order f order !")
You have no right to call a speaker to order, ob-
served the President; permit M. Montalembert to
explain himself.
When silence was restored, M. de Montalembert
said that he withdrew the expression " chastisement."
and substituted for it the word "recompense."—
(Laughter.) He could not help wondering how a
man who had hitherto belonged to the majority, and
had, like him, been sent to the Assembly to support
the great principle of order could court such applause
He hoped he would satisfactorily account to the elec-
tors of Paris for that dereliction of principle.—
(Violent tumult on the Left, which was not appeased
at the hour of post.)
