but the stroke of a hammer used by one of the men having
fallen a spark was elicited, which communicated with
the ga
and an explosion ensued, which raised and overthrew
sriss,
an immense new vessel, and threw down some portion of the
walls, and a large body of flame ascended into the air. A
number of workmen were at the time employed on a high
scaffolding connected with the works, and as the extent of the
danger was not immediately known, the event was the occa-
sion of much terror and confusion. A report that the
_gas
works were on fire quickly reached the fire stations, and the
men of the London Fire Brigade repaired to the spot, but the
Gas Company's servant refused to admit them, alleging that
there was no necessity for extraneous assistance. As there
was still :in appearance of fire, however, the firemen insisted
on an entrance to inspect the place, and being refused admit-
tance in the usual way, they scaled the wall by means of their
ladders. The damage done to the works arid the building
was found to be of no great extent, and it is satisfactory to state
that no'serious persctual injury was sustained.

In the course of the obscrvptions made by W. Hoone, •
a working man, be referred to the attempts made on the
life of Louis Phillippe, and expressed a wish that the next
would not be unsuccessful. This language was denouaced
in the strongest terms by 'Mr. O'Connell, and the person
who uttered it immediately called to order.
A petition to Parliament. Was adopted, calling fur an in-
quiry into the case of Dr. Beaumont, and that the national
honour outraged in his person might be vindicated. Col.
Thompson was called to the chair, and the thanks of the
meeting returned to Mr. O'Connell.
