ported for both grinding and distilling sorts. Malt was dull, at

of this market to-day is very flat, with a moderate business,
which of late has been much under the production. But this
email business, with the existing engagements of producers,
has prevented the accumulating of stocks, and maintained
great steadiness in values, even in the face of a falling cotton
market, Prises to-day are the same as yesterday, but spinners
are more Sellers and manufacturers are firmer, having
tieavier engagements than spinners.

day morning at the cotton mill of Messrs. Ermine and

ruins. Within fifteen minutes all three were extricated.

veyed to the hospital in Grays-inn-road, but died on their
way there. Two other men fell with the brickwork, but

PETROLEUM EXPLOSION AT
BIRMINGHAM.
A Birmingham correspondent telegraphs :—A serious
petroleum explosion, resulting in injuries to thirty
men, occurred in Birmingham about ten o'clock,on Wednes-
day morning, at the works of the Midland Railway Car-
riage Company. A number of workmen were engaged
in repairing a large wrought-iron tank used for the
carriage of oil and petroleum on the railway, when
in some unaccountable manner the bottom of the ves-
sel took fire. The company's fire brigade was at
once brought into requisition, and all available
hands were brought to the spot to aid in ex-
tinguishing the fire. This had been all but accomplished
when suddenly, without the least warning, a terrible
explosion took place, bursting the tank, and blowing the
manager and some thirty of the men a considerable
distance from the spot, besides burning them severely
on various parts of their bodies. The suf-
ferers were promptly removed to the hospital.
They are progresSing favourably. The origin of the fire
and explosion is not clearly known, but it is supposed
that the petroleum contained in the tank had not been
entirely removed when the men commenced repairs.

In reference to the banquet which took place in
Dublin on Monday night to celebrate the triumph of Mr.
Martin in Meath, one correspondent states that when the
toast of "The Queen' was proposed, about one-half of the
company showed their regard for the " golden link of the
crown," which they purpose shall be the only one between
the two countries, by remaining seated and silent.
The best of the company honoured the toast with loyal
manifestations.
The seventh annual meeting of the Manchester
Governesses' Institution and Home was held on Tuesday

ladies had applied for governesses, whilst eighty-two
governesses had obtained situations through the medium
of the society.
