EXPLOSION AT ETTINGSH ALL-LANE.—OnMon-
day evening, about nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of the
Fox public-house at Ettingshall-lane, near Wolverhampton,
was suddenly thrown into a frightful state of alarm and con-
fusion, by the explosion of a considerable quantity of gun-
powder at that house. Though considerable mischief has
been done by the blowing down of the house and the
damage done to the neighbouring ones, and some very
serious injuries having been received, there are none, we
understand, which threaten a loss of life. A money club,
it appears, was being held in the house,. which was kept
by a person named Hartshorne, who is a hutty-collier, and
who has frequently many pounds of gunpowder in the
house for use in mining operations. The quantity upon the
preinises was a twenty-five pound barrel, which had been
opened, and a small portion taken from it ; it was kept in a
cupboard in one of the upper rooms, and the servant Girl
being required to fetch some in the morning, she had
taken it with her hand instead of the scoop, and the

.....„..
spilled grains, the room not having been since swept,
formed a train for a little distance in the room direct
to the garret. The house was completely filled with
company, nearly fifty persons being in it, some in the
room above and some below, when one of them in the room
above having snuffed the candles with his fingers, flung
the burning snuff on the floor ; it unfortunately fell on the
train, ignited it, and in an instant the powder in the barrel
exploded, and the house was a mass of ruin. An attempt,
evincing much presence of mind, however fruitless, was
made by William Hartshorne, the son of the landlord, to
prevent the disaster. Perceiving the flames from the ig-
!thing.

grains of gunpowder to be running towards the cup-
board, in which the barrel was kept, he made an effort to

c'

rolled into the lane, very slightly injured. Happily the
gunpowder, from not beiry, confined, o u

its greatest force, and had
off the roof, and tiling down the walls, which fell almost
entirely
outwards, and the company, with a few unfor-
tunate exceptions, ceptiOns, escaped almost unharmed. The most
serious injuries have been sustained by a man named Abra-
ham Holmes, who received a dreadful blow on the chest,
which fractured it and drove it in ; and by Mr. Saul,
whose face and eyes are much burnt, and who is considered
likely to lose his sight. Two other persons are likewise
seriously injured.—Trolverkanipton Chronicle.
At a late election for Perthshire, Sir John Camp-
bell solicited a 111 r. M‘Gregor to use his inquence with his
son to give his vote fbr Sir George Murray, Old M'Gregor
said it was useless, as his son had pledged himself to support
the opposite party ; at which Sir John gave expression to
his displeasure, by sayinr, he was ,‘not a true M'Gregor,
there was some bad blood' in hini.” ~ I wouldna doubt but
there is," replied the old man, " for his mother was a Camp_
bell."—Ayr Observer.
