LIVERPOOL POST-OFFICE.

PRICE SD.

THE LATE EXPLOSION AT THE

Yesterday the investigation of the case against Josel
Gomez, the Spaniard, who is charged with enclosing ma-
terials calculated to destroy life, in several letters which
were put into the post-office at Liverpool, and in the
stamping, by a clerk named Barnard, almost produced the
death of that individual, was resumed before Mr. Minshull,
Bow-street, and lasted the whole of the day. Mr. Peacock,
the solicitor to the Post-office attended for the posecution.
Mr. Leigh, an artist in the Strand, attended as interpreter,
and Mr. Davy, a celebrated chemist in the Strand, who had
made an examination of the combustible materials found at
the prisoner's lodgings, was also present. The case ap-
peared to create intense interest.
Mr. William James Page sworn. I reside at No. 33,
Duke-street, Manchester-square, and am clerk at the dead
letter office in the General Post-office, and was on duty
there last Monday (yesterday se'nnight.) On that day
I. received at the inland office two packets from Liverpool,
addressed to the inspectors of dead letters. This was at
half-past six o'clock. I opened both the packets in the
inland office, and took out the contents. The Presi-
dent had previously shown me a letter from the Post-1
master at Liverpool, urging extreme caution in open-
ing the letters contained in those packets. Each of
the packets contained several letters, and in one of
them were the two marked A and B. The letter marked A
is addressed as follows :—" A la Exmo. Sor. de Miguieli
Tacon, Capitan General Del Gobernardo de la Habana."
That letter bears the Liverpool stamp, and enclosed was the
letter marked B, produced, bearing a similar address..
That letter also bears a similar mark of the same date. In
the other packet addressed to the dead letter office, I found
the letter now produced, addressed " A la Senora Da Jua-
na Da Chirino del defunto D. Romano Burfan, par la Ha-
bana ex Habana." That contains an inner enclosure, with
the same address, and was folded as a letter and firmly. se-
cured. On cutting it open, I found two crackers tied to
the folds of the letters, so that if I had opened them in the
usual way they would have exploded. I also found enclosed
a small packet, which appears to me to contain fulminatinc,
silver, and which I have marked. The letters marked A,°
B, and C all bear an impression or seal, or stamp in wax, of
H. 0. I. in capitals. The letters were forwarded to
the dead letter office in consequence of not having
been paid for, and such letters would have been opened
in the regular way, and returned to the writers. The
letter enclosed in the packet marked A is signed " Josef
Gomez," and the word " Pelago," written underneath.
Mr. Maitland Wilson Boyd sworn—l reside at No. 4,
New Bank-buildings, Lothbury, and I am clerk in the

General Post-office: On Saturday last I was in the soli-
citor's office, where the prisoner was. I showed him the
two letters marked A and B, and asked him if the addresses
on them were in his hand-writing ? He said they were,
and I then asked him if the address upon it was written by
him. He said it was not, and that he did not know any
person at Matanzas. I then asked him if he did not ar-
rive at Liverpool from New York by the ship Virginia,
and he said he did. I also asked him " Have you put any
letters into the Post-office at Liverpool ?" and he said h•
had, " two or three." I next demanded if he had put any
thing into those letters, and he replied in French, " Peut
etre, oui." I then asked him where he had lived, and he
said at Cuba. I produced the fragments of the letters
which had been partially ,destroyed by the explosion at Li-
verpool, and showed them to him. The addresses were
nearly unintelligible, but appeared to be directed to " Don
Jose Nobell, Matanzas." Those marked E are addressed
" A la Sen. de Feliz Cruset, Teniente de Gobernador In-
terim de la Ciudad, Matanzas." Another was addressed
" Al Sen. Don Feliz Cruset, de Gobernador Interim par
la Habana, en Matanzas. E.L.P. M." The writing on
the fragments and that upon the letters found in the pri-
soner's box exactly corresponded.
Mr. Peacock here observed alit the prisoner, when asked
why the combustible matters were manufactured, said they
were merely for his own amusement.
Through the interpreter, the prisoner stated that he did
not pay the postage of the letters at Liverpool, because he
did not know it was necessary, thus admitting that he was
the writer of them.

The prisoner here wished to make a statement. He
wrote to the Governor of Havannah for 1,500 piastres to
which he thought himself entitled. He was known to the
Governor personally, and wrote to him in consequence of
some previous understanding.
Some other questions were put to the prisoner, which he
seemed disposed to answer freely ; but Mr. Minshull caused
him to be told that he might probably do himself harm.
George Thomas Ruthven sworn—On Saturday last,
about half•past one, he apprehended the prisoner in Ben-
bow's-rents, St. Luke's. He found upon him two loaded
pistols and a stiletto, and he also found a seal, on which
was impressed inverted, the letters "H. 0. I." Had
examined the letters, and found the handwriting agree.
In the room where he apprehended the prisoner he
found a large chest, which he admitted belonged to
him. He then brought him to the office of the soli-
citor of the General Post Office, and witness and Tyrell,
another officer, found seventeen gold pieces, value sixteen
dollars each. He afterwards brought him here. Witness
again went to the prisoner's apartment, and found the key
now produced. He brought the box and key to this office.
That (yesterday) morning, the box having been opened,
witness searched it, and found a blunderbuss-loaded almost
to the muzzle with bullets ; a quantity of powder and some
paper, of foreign manufacture, of the same texture as that
of the letters which formed the subject of complaint. He
found some dollars and coppers, and also six crackers. He
also produced some cards and small packets, containing in
each a small quantity of fulminating powder. There were
also several letters.

➢lr. MiNsuuLL said the prisoner must, tinder the cir-
cumstances, be remanded until Thursday next.
The prisoner expressed a wish to speak, and through his
interpreter stated that when at the Havannah he was about
to be married to a young lady, but the father attempted to
poison him by putting opium into some soup which was
served to him by order of the father of the young lady, who
was Governor of the island.

Mr. Peacock (to the interpreter)—Was the attempt to
poison the prisoner the consideration for which he was to
receive fifteen hundred dollars ? The prisoner's answer
was—" Yes. I am an honest man, and never injured
