time information of the robbery was given at the
nearest police-station. It was shown that on the
night previous to the discovery of the robbery the
prisoner and another person went into the house, at
two different times, but it was not known at what
period they made their egress. Sergeant Hambury,
12 D, at length took the prisoner into custody at
Islington, and conveyed him to the station-house in
a cab, and, on his alighting, he (the constable) found
on the seat a " jemmy" (crow-bar), the dimensions
of which exactly fitted to the marks made on the
drawers from which the money was stolen. He
had also in his possession some cigars, similar to
I 1 those which prosecutor had missed, and a number of
lucifer matches. k, . C,

DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY.

upon previous reduced terms, yet buyers have been
cautious in their proceedings by private treaty, and none
has been offered at auction. We quote Trinidad red at
46s to 503, grey 44s to 475; Grenada 42s to 465, and St.
Lucia at 38s to 455. Foreign is little required, and 36s
to 40s is the value of Para.
TEA.—The amount of business transacted in Black
has been unimportant since the issuing of our last price
current, whilst merchants have been more inclined to
sell, and the rates taken are rather under those that
previously prevailed; common sound Congou selling
for cash at 9d, good common 9fd to 90,
and Pouchong at 5d to 9d for ordinary to fine.
Green met with little attention, and can be obtained
upon rather lower terms ; even the good and fine kinds
are dull of sale ; Twankay common yellowish leaf is
only worth 74 to 84, Hyson, common, is 24 to is 4,1,
Imperial and Gunpowder of low quality 10d to la 2.1.
With all descriptions the market is well supplied.
RICE.—To day East lodi s Rice of every kind was
extensively dealt in, chiefly by exporters, and the rates
obtained were rather above those that existed previ-
ously. The private sales since Friday are 30,000 bags
on the spot, and the latest prices are, Bengal white, low
to fine 16s to 18s 6:1, Cargo 13s 64; Madras, pinkey
white 14s, and yellow 13s 6d per cwt. None offered at
public sale.
SPICES.—There has been little desire shown to operate
in any kind of Black Pepper, and there are sellers of
Malabar I under previous rates. Privately Sumatra
met with a dull sale at 24-d to 24d, and Penang at 21u
to lid per lb. At public sale 106 barrels were,
sold. Pimento is held with firmness ; and pri-
vately a fair amount of business has been concluded
at stiff rates. Cassia Lignea is little required, but owing
to the small supply, holders demand full rates. In Ciw
namon, there has been little passing. In Nutmegs,
purchases to a fair extent have been concluded pri-
privately at rather higher rrtes. Mace is in short sup-
ply, and being wanted prices tend upwards. Cloves are
not much required.
SPIRITS.—To-day Jamaica Rum was only in moderate
demand, but holders refused to sell any sort, but upon
full terms. For all other kinds the market is in a dull
state, and former prices are with difficulty suFported.
INDIGO.—Since our last report. purchases to a fair
extent have been made in all descriptions of East India
ter home consumption, whilst the export demand has
been rather better, but the contracts concluded at
present have been chiefly for the Russian market. There
are few parcels of any kind on offer in the market. The
demand it is, however, expected will continue to im
prove, as the importation is less than it was last years
whilst the home and export deliveries are greater, price
are lower, and the stock smaller. Spanish does not im-
prove in value, but there has been rather more business
transacted.
Cocuttexer..—This afternoon there were 3 parcels
brought forward of the new crop, amounting to 334 bags
Honduras, and there being a good demand, the whole
was sold at very full prices—very ordinary small and
foxey, to extra fine bold silvers 4s 101 to 6s, very low to
fine shelly blacks 5s 6d to 6s 9d, and extra large grain
6s 10d to 7s Id per lb.
OlLS.—This afternoon of Palm Oil 155 cks at auction
were sold at about the former value—middling and good
33s 6d to 34s 6d, fine 355, and low dark 32s 6,1 to 33s
per cwt.
SALTPETRE.—In the value of Rough there is little
variation to make known, but the purchases made by
private treaty by exporters and the home trade have been
limited, whilst holders are much inclined to sell.
British Refined has met with less demand. In Nitrate
of Soda several purchases have been made, whilft
holders evince more firmness.
TALLow.—There has been little disposition evinced
to operate in Russian on the spot, although there are
sellers ot fine new P.Y.C. at 46s 6d, and old at 45s 6d
to 46s per cwt. An impression exists that prices will
further recede on account of the large quantity there
is to arrive. For delivery in the last three
months of the year, there are few buyers to be met
with, although at 45s 6d purchases can be easily made.
Town Tallow has fallen in value, and the amount of
business concluded has been to a small extent only at
47s nett cash, whilst there is a fair quantity on offer.
All other sorts are dull of sale, and rather cheaper. At
auction 19 casks of New South Wales wet t at 45s 6 1 to
45s 9I fur good, and at 43s 3(1 to 45s 3d fur low and mei
quality, and 172 barrels North.

WORSHIP- STREET.

Mr. Edward Brunton, a master plumber at Hack-
ney, was charged with assaulting and wounding a
man named William Barratt, in the service of Mr.
Nunn, landlord of the Victoria Tavern, at Cambridge -
heath.
The complainant stated that the prisoner called at
the above house on Saturday evening, in the company
of a Mr. Neale, a builder in the neighbourhood, the
latter of whom requested to see his ma-ter. He was
accordingly shown into the bar parlour, in which a
violent uproar immediately afterwards ensued, and on
his hastening into the parlour to ascertain the cause
of it, witness found his master struggling upon the
ground with Mr. Neale, who was grasping him so
forcibly by the throat, that he appeared to be upon
the point of strangulation. With the assistance of
some of the tap-roam customers, he succeeded in
rescuing his master, and was endeavouring to force
Neale into the street, when the prisoner made a rush
at him from the parlour, and struck him a tremendous
blow on the forehead with a heavy iron spittoon,
which cut him to the bone and inflicted a wound an
inch and a half in length. On the arrival of the
police, the prisoner and Neale were both conveyed to
the station-house, where they were charged with
the several assaults, but his master bad sustained such
serious injuries that he had been since confined to his
bed, and was unable to appear and give-evidence.
Inspector Waller stated that when the party reached
the station-house it was found necessary to imme-
diately call in Mr. Garrod, the divisional surgeon, to
dress the wounds of the prisoner and Mr. Neale, one
of whose hands had been so severely cut by glass in
the course of his encounter with Nunn, that one of
the arteries was divided, and he was likewise unable
to attend the Court, to which a certificate the witness
produced bore evidence.
Mr. Hunt addressed the Magistrate on behalf of
the prisoner, and said he was instructed to state that
the whole affray originated, in the first instance, from
the extreme violence of a party of brickmakers in
Mr. Nunn's service, and called
The prisoner's nephew, who declared that at the
time the struggle was going on between the com-
plainant and Neale, the prisoner was lying senseless
on the road, from a blow inflicted by one of the com-
plainant's party, and the marks of which he then bore.
Mr. HAMMILL said the case was manifestly one of
far too serious a nature to be summarily dealt with,
and he should, therefore, order the prisoner to find
substantial bail to answer the charge at the sessions.
A. determined-looking fellow, named Charles
Thompson alias Townley, was charged with having in
his possession a large quantity of counterfeit coin, and
also with violently assaulting a sergeant of police who
took him into custody.
It appeared that between six and seven o'clock on
Saturday evening, as Sergeant Brannan, of the G
division, was reconnoitring in plain clothes with a
constable named Hawkins, in the neighbourhood of
Old-street, he saw the prisoner in the company of
two other men, whom he at once recognised as noto-
rious " smashers." On observing that they were
watched the whole of them made off; but the sergeant
speedily overtook and seized the prisoner, who imme-
diately drew from his pocket a handful of half-crown
pieces, which the sergeant endeavoured to wrest
from him, when he was grappled by the prisoner,
and flung heavily on the pavement. The prisoner
then commenced swallowing the counterfeit coin, four
or five of which he had got rid of, and had transferred
the last two to his mouth, when the sergeant started
up and struck him a sharp blow underneath the jaw,
which compelled him to disgorge them, and. drop
them into the road. With the assistance of the other
officer the prisoner was then handcuffed and conveyed
to the station-house, where, upon being searched, nine
other spurious half-crowns and five-shilling pieces
were found in his possession.
The prisoner, who declined offering any defence
was remanded for the attendance of the Mint au-
thorities.

MORE SHIPWRECKS AT THURSO,

WI La LOSS OF LIFE.
(From the John o' Groat Journal.)
Tuuaso, THURSDAY. —We have had a strong gale
of wind here, especially through the past night and
this morning, from the N.—and I am grieved to add,
that its ravages have again been fatal.
Two vessels have been driven ashore—one of these
is a schooner called the Mary and Joseph of Derby-
haven, Isle of Man, Captain Lowry, with herrings
from Peterhead, for Belfast. She lies a little w •st of
the river. The other is a sloop with slates, from
Easdale named the Nancy, of and for Dundee. The
crews of both vessels have been saved, although that
of the latter with considerable difficulty. This vessel
lies a little to the eastward of the Old Castle. It is
feared that both will be total wrecks. .

But I regret to add a case of a more melancholy
nature. I have just seen a bearer, sent here from
Sandside, with the heartrending intelligence, that a
schooner was driven ashore, near Isauld, this morning,
anal that the crew have all perished. Both masts
went overboard immediately on her striking. My
informant could not tell her name, cargo, or destina-
tion. The custom-house officers and coast-guard are
all off to the place.
An American vessel is rolling very heavily in the
roads, being anchored too far out—the general mis-
take of captains. If she is well found, she may stand
out the gale.
It is reported that other two vessels are ashore
farther to the westward.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.—BENEFIT OF MR. W.
D. BROADFOOT.—We observe that Mr. W. D. Broadroot,
the acting and stage manager at Astley's Amphitheatre,
takes his benefi% tomorrow. 'I he bill of fare is most
attractive, but independently of that, the merits of Mr.
Broacifoot, to whose talents and industry in devising,
getting up, and superintending the gorgeous spectacles,
which form the staple of the amusements at this
favourite establishment, its patrons are so much in-
debted, are of themselves sufficient to secure for him a
bumper.
AN UNGALLANT EDITOR.—The American Literary
Gazette quotes the following from a transatlantic con-
temporary: —" An interesting female correspondent
sends us a piece of poetry with a reqest for its publica-
tion. The moon is called bright—the stars are flattered
with the original appellation of meek. eyed'—the trees
come in for a full share of eulogy, and the tailing spring
is pronounced silver plated, or something to that effect.
Besides this, the poem is equally instructive on other
important subjects. If Mary will send us an affidavit
that she has washed the dishes, mended the ti.se, and
swept the house for a wed( after she was blasten with
poetic fire,' we will give in, and startle the literary
world from its lethargy. For the present we say, darn
yourstockiegs, and darn your poetry too."
A rag and bone-dealer, at Shrewsbury, in a rail-

way compensation case, heard last week, declared that he
aid buoineas to the smount (it 1.000/. a week!

LAW IN i ELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 6.
(Before Mr. Commissioner I' Jas.)
IN RE HORACE W. METETARD.

This insolvent, who was a barrister-at-law, but
now a prisoner in the county gaol of Stafford, applied
tbr his discharge from custody and interim order.
It apoeared by the schedule that there were no less
than seventy creditors, being principally railway
companies and solicitors. His debts and liabilities
amount to 76,524/. 155., including a liability of
1,9601. to John Owen, solicitor, for professional
charges. lle (insolvent) was liable for this as pro-
prietor and director of the Burton-upon-Trent, Staf-
ford, Shrewsbury, and Newton Railway, being a
provisional committeeman, together with several
baronets, honourables, colonels, majors, and reverend
gentlemen. Sir John ttennie and Mr. Remington
were also creditors for 5,179/. To meet this amount
of debts the assets amounted to 1,4231., stated to be
due by solicitors to railway schemes. His receipts
for the last six months amounted to 5331., including
a sum of 251. as the produce of the sale of fifty
Madrid and Valencia Railway shares.
No opposition was offered, and the interim order
and discharge were granted.

pair of trousers, a pair of shoes,and l‘sitera Eden,li
other articles of
clothing, the property of the board of directors of the
poor of that parish.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was a
pauper in the workhouse, and supplied with the clothes
for use whilst he remained in the establishment. He
made his escape from thence, taking with him the ar-
ticles and leaving his own wearing apparel behind,
and he was missing with them till Saturday last,
when he returned and applied for admission, having
parted \ ith the property above mentioned, with the
exception
of the parish shirt, and he was given into
custody.
The prisoner, in his defence said, that he left the
workhouse because they threatened to keep him with-
out victuals if he did not break three bushels of stones.
Committed to the house of correction, with hard
labour, for one month.
Several notorious pickpockets were charged with
attempting to pick pockets at New Bartholomew Fair,
held in a field near New North-road, Islington. Some
of them were sentenced to three months, and others
for lesser terms of imprisonment, with hard labour,
according to the nature of their offences.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1847.

the boards into the court, the air was tainted all over
the neighbourhood, and the locality was as offensive
to the eye as.it was to the smell. Some of the filth
had be,n removed since the service of the summons

on Friday ; but the nuisance was still so great that
it was prejudicial to the public health; and he would
put in two certificates from Mr. Anningson and Mr.
Liddle, two qualified medical practitioners, to that
effect. Under those circumstances, the trustees had
directed him to ask for an order to compel the
defendant to abate the nuisance, to cleanse the

place, and to purify it by lime washing. Mr.
Smith added, that Mr. Baker, the Coroner for Mid-
dlesex, had made very strong representations relating
to the evil, in consequence of the numerous inquests
he had held on persons who had died of fever in the

vicinity.
Mr. YARDLEY said he knew that Mr. Baker had
most properly interfered in the case, and expressed an
opinion, that if he (the Magistrate) merely ordered
the cesspool to be cleansed, purified, and whitewashed,
according to the terms of a clause in the Act, that
would not effect the object sought.for. He might
order the removal or abatement of the nuisance.
Mr. Smith said a new place ought to be erected
and properly covered over. The owners of the tene-
ment; had the opportunity of communicating with
the common sewer, which is only a few yards from
the cesspool.
The defendant—That shall be done, sir.
Mr. YARDLEY—If you don't do it you will sub-
ject yourself to an immense expense, for the parish
officers can call upon me for an order every week, and
you will have to pay the costs.
The medical certificates, describing the nuisance
to be very prejudicial to the public health, having
been put in,
Mr. John Litldle, surgeon, and one of the medical
officers of the Whitechapel Union, said the locality of
Hayes-court was densely populated by the poorer
classes, and the smell from the foul cesspool was highly
offensive that morning, and detrimental to the health
of the neighbourhood. He had attended several fever
patients in the court, and the deaths had been nume-
rous. 'the foul cesspool was close to one of the
houses in Hayes-court, and the staircase formed a
shaft to direct the effluvia into the rooms up stairs.
Nothing short of the entire removal of the cesspool
would ever cure the evil.
The defendant said the house mentioned by Mr.
Liddle did not belong to him.
Mr. YARDLEY said that was an additional reason
why the abominable nuisance should be removed.
The detendant said, the cesspool belonging to him
was not the sole cause of the fever and deaths in the
neighbourhood.
Mr. Smith said, there were others 'adjoining, but
they were in comparatively a decent state.
The defendant said, when a drain was made to
communicate with the sewers, there would be no fur-
ther cause of complaint.
Mr. Liddle--Providing there is plenty of water to
carry off the soil. There should be waterclosets pro-
perly fitted up in every house, with water tanks over
them. The expense is very trifling, and the advan-
tages great.
Mr. YARDLEY.---I must prevent a -recurrence of
such a dreadful :state of things. I shall make an
order for the cleansing of the cesspool ; and, it it is
not done immediately, it will be effected by the
parish, at the defendant's expense, and I shall then
make an order for its removal altogether.
The defendant asked if he was to suffer for the
other owners ?
Mr. YARDLEY—Each of you are liable under the
Act of Parliament. I recommend you all to join
and pay the expenses among you. If you do not,
the parish officers may take but a summons, and in-
clude every owner in it.
Sandy Smith, aged 19, rated as an ordinary seaman
on board the Lady Flora, East Indiaman, just ar-
rived from the East Indies, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with feloniously wounding William
Ewart, able seaman, with intent to do him grievous
bodily harm.
The prosecutor, a tall, able seaman, who, in con-
sequence of great loss of blood, was in an exceed-
ingly weak state, deposed that on Saturday night,
after landing troops, the ship was moored off Graves-
end, and he turned into his hammock and soon fell
asleep. He was roused up by a great noise in the
forecastle, and found it was caused by the prisoner,
who was making a disturbance. He told him to be
quiet, and he refused to do so. Witness got out of
his hammock, slapped the prisoner's face, and hove
him down on his chest. The prisoner got up again,
and made more noise than ever, and acted like a
madman. He gave him another slap on the side of
the head, and hove him on his chest a second time,
and begged of him to be quiet. The prisoner got
up, made a butt at him with his head, which he
forced into his chest, and at the same time stabbed
witness in the groin. He felt the blood running
down his legs, and he called out to the crew to put
the prisoner in irons.
Mr. Hurst, a Custom-house officer, was on the deck
of the Lady Flora on Saturday night, and heard a
disturbance below. He was informed a man was
,tabbed, and he went below and took a large clasp
knife, suspended to a piece of string from the pri-
soner. There 'vas blood upon it and it was warm.
The knife is a formidable weapon, the blade of
which was stained with blood to the depth of two
inches.
The MAGIiTRATE asked if all the crew wore such
knives, and he was answered in the affirmative. They
wore them constantly while at work.
Mr. William Bain, surgeon of Brunswick street,
Poplar, stated that he was first called upon to see the
prosecutor on Sunday morning. The wound, which
had been already dressed, was an inch and half in
length, and inflicted in a very dangerous place. Its
depth he could not ascertain. It might prove very
serious. The haemorrhage had been very great.
. The prisoner, who is a mild looking young man,
a native of Scotland, seemed to be much cast down.
lie said he really did not know what he was about.
Mr. YARDLEY—This is a very bad case. I must
send you for trial to Maidstone for felonious stabbing
your shipmate.
Joseph Painter, late carman to Mr. Lewis Woolf,
wholesale potter, High-street, Wapping, was brought
up on remand, charged with embezzling various sums
of money he had received for and account of his
master.
The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Woolf
for thirteen years, and during that time he had for•
given him no fewer than eighteen times. On Tues-
day, the 24th of August, Mr. Woolf sent the prisoner
out with his horse and cart with goods for three dif-
ferent customers. The prisoner never returned, but, four
days afterwards, Mr. Woolf received from him a
Post-office order for V. A police-constable, named
Potter, 212 K, was then employed to apprehend the
prisoner, and he traced him from Rochester, where he
posted the letter, to Strood fair, thence to Gravesend,
and afterwards to London, where he took him into
custody.
Three tradesmen, named Conway, Elliott, and
Martin deposed to paying over to the prisoner the
respective sums of 51. 3s. Bd., 4/. 195., and 21., on the
24th and 25th of August.
The prisoner had not accounted to his msster for
either of these sums, as he ought to have done, and,
with the exception of 21. sent from Rochester, and 1/.
paid by the prisoner's wife, ho had squandered the
rest away.
Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial.

OPENING OF THE ERBWASII VALLEY RAILWAY.—
This line, we are informed, will be opened on Monday
next. Goods and passengers have been conveyed for
some time by the contractor's engine, betwixt Codnor
Park and Long Eaton, grestly to the advantage of the
public. This railway is allowed, by competent judges,
to be finished in a superior style ; the Government in-
spector declared that it was the best new road he ever
travelled upon, which certainly reflects great credit upon
the contractor, J. T. 'Leather, ettinyham Review.
HORNCASTLE FAlR.—Thirty or forty foreigners

EXPLOSION AT NEWARK.
NEWARK, MosinaL
On Satur lay last an inquest was held in this
borough, by Mr. Burnaby, coroner, on the bodies of
George Fox, Timothy Hervey, and William Otter,
who died on the preceding day, in consequence of
injuries received from an explosion which took place
at Mr. Hervey's steam corn-mill on Thursday.
William Marriott, of Newark-upon-Trent, said—
I am in the employ of Mr. James Hervey, who has
lately been erecting a steam-mill at his wind mill at
the Spitals, in this town. Thursday last, the 2d of
September, was the first day of the new engine being
tried for grinding. Two men, i❑ the employ of the
engineers, Messrs. Carter and Wharton, of Gains-
borough, came to see the engine tried ; also the de-
ceased Timothy Hervey, a nephew of Mr. James
Hervey. About three o'clock in the afternoon of
Thursday the two men, whore names were W. Otter
and G. Fox, were with the deceased Hervey in the
engine-house getting something to eat; the engine
was not then working, it had been stopped a few
minutes. I and my master had just left the engine-
house, and I was standing near the fireplace outside,
as was Mr. Wharton. He was trying what pressure
of steam there was on, and I was asking him whether
there was enough to grind the stones, and he said
" No." The index was at 25, when suddenly I heard
a noise like a cannon, and a quantity of steam came

out of the fireplace. :I could ;carcel3, see for steam.
The door of the engine-house, which opens from the
outside, was forced to by the steam, and it was made
fast by the giving way of the brickwork, and shut the
deceased Hervey, Otter, and Fox in the engine-
house. In two or three minutes the door was burst

open, and they were got out. They were all then
alive and sensible, but most dreadtully scalded. I
helped to carry Hervey to my master's house. He
said to me, " I shall die ; my inside is scalded." Tbe
engine had been working in grinding corn on Thurs-
day for a about an hour before the accident happens d,
and had been at about the same degree of pressure
that it was when the accident happened. It was an
engine of 10-horse power. About twenty minutes
before the accident happened I saw one of the de-
ceased trying the water taps, and he said all was
right. The boiler door was shut at the time.
James Hervey, of Newark-upon-Trent, said—l
have lately been erecting a steam-engine at my wind-
mill, at the Spitals, in this town. The engine was
furnished by Messrs. Carter and Wharton, of Gains-
borough. It was to he of 10-horse power. I had
told them that I wanted to work two pair of stones
ana a machine. The price was to be 3001., including
the making of the engine-house, and they were to
keep it in order for a twelvemonth. We commenced
working the engine for the purposes of the mill, with
one pair of stones, on Thursday last. Messrs. Carter
and Wharton, with two of their men, were at the ee-
gine all the day whilst it was working. I went down
to the mill about two o'clock, and found Messrs.
Carter and Wharton and their two men, with my
nephew, there. The engine was then at work, and
the mill grinding. I heard a remark that there was
something wrong with the pump, 'and the engine
was stopped. At this time the three deceased,
Messrs. Carter and Wharton, and myself were in
the engine-house. The two men of Messrs. Carter
and Wharton were taking some refreshment, and my
nephew was looking on. I and Messrs. Carter and
Wharton came out and stood near the fire-place out-
side. The engine-house door was wide open. I was
looking at the boiler, and whilst I was looking it
seemed to me that the front of the boiler gave way.
I was just pointing out to Messrs. Carter and Whar-
ton that I thought something was going wrong, and
an explosion instantly took place. I heard the door
of the engine-house bang to, and after some difficulty
it was forced open, and one of the men ran out. I saw
my nephew brought out. They all seemed as if they
had been in boiling water, and were dreadfully
scalded ; they were alive and sensible. My nephew
was taken to my house, and lived until about five
the following morning, when he died.
Joseph Ilug-hes, of the town of Nottingham, engi-
neer, said—l yesterday afternoon carefully examined
the steam-engine and boiler at the mill of Mr. James
Hervey, in this town. I have had considerable ex-
perience for many years in the making and working
cf stea n-engines. I found a fracture thirteen inches
long and two inches wide in the flue. The flue-
plates were collapsed from end to end. There were
several other small fractures, all caused by the
giving way of one plate. The fracture was long
enough to cause a very large escape of steam. *I he
plate which gave way was defective in the material
of which it was composed. The external appearance
of the plate is very good, but by the fracture it is
now plainly to be seen that the material is had.
There are very few instances of engineers making
their own plates ; It is generally a distinct business.
It would be almost impossible to detect a defective
plate, except by proving the boiler, which is seldom
done by engineers. I have not measured the boiler,
but from the appearance I should think it is large
enough for an engine of 10 horse power. I have no
doubt whatever that the accident was caused by the
giving way of the plate in question. If the plate in
question had been good, I should not have hesitated
to have worked the engine from 401 b. to 45th. to the
inch. I don't think that the accident happened from
under supply of water ; if that had been the case the
plate would have been discoloured, which is not the
case.
John Bullock, of Costock, in the county of Not-
tingham, steam-boiler manufacturer, said—l have
examined the boiler of the engine of Mr. J. Hervey's
mill, in this town. I found a fracture in the plate
farthest from the fire. It was fractured very short ;
the material was bad and defective. There is nothing
in the external appearance of the plate which would
make me suppose it to be defective. After examining the
plate it seems to me there must have been a greater
pressure than 2.51 b. at the time the explosion took
place. I think the boiler ought to have been able to
have borne the pressure of 501 h., hut the plate in
question would not have borne such a pres-ure. The
manufacture of steam-boilers is generally a distinct
business from that of the manufacture of steam-
engines. I always test my boilers before they are
used; but I think a great many manufacturers do
not. I think the defective plate in this boiler would
have been discovered had it been tested, but not at
the pressure of 251 b. I saw nothing wrong in the
manufacture of the boiler itself, and it would have
been very difficult for the manufacturer of the boiler
to have discovered the deficiency of the plate in
question. The giving way of the plate would in-
stantly cause the flue to collapse.
Henry Wharton, of Gainsborough, steam-engine
manufacturer, was examined, and deposed to supply-
ing the steam-engine to Mr. Hervey. He was super-
intending the erection at the time the accident hap-
pened. He does not manufacture his own boilers,
and he Lad the boiler in question of Messrs. Smith
and Sons, of Gainsborough; he had had many boilers
of them, and never found a defective one before. Ile
had observed the index and it was at '25 just before
the accident happened. He then described the cir-
cumstances at the moment of the explosion in terms
similar to the first witness.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a
verdict of " Accidental death," but recommended the
parties erecting engine-houses to have the door to
open from the outside, so that in case of an accident
the door may blow open, and not shut to in the in-
side, as it did in this case.
The bodies of Gorge Fox and Timothy Hervey
were interred in Newark Church burial-ground on
Sunday morning, at half-past 10 o'clock, in the pre-
sence of hundreds of spectators. Fox resided in Not-
tingham, and has left a wife and seven children, all
unprovided for. Otter was a young man 19 years of
age, and came from Oxton, to which place his remains
were removed on Saturday night. Hervey was a
boy, only 121 years of age. Messrs. Carter and
Wharton paid all the expenses of the funerals of the
sufferers. Fax and Otter only survived 12 hours after
the accident; they died in tne hospital at Newark.

DARING HIGUWAY ROBBERY.—On Sunday morn-
ing, Police-sergeant Bevan, T 3, while patrolling near
Southall, on the Uxbridge-road, heard moaning cries
proceed from a field at the side of the high road, and on
proceeding to the spot he discovered, by the light of his
lantern, a man in a state of entire nudity, lying in the
grass, with a handkerchief tied across his mouth, his
arms tied behind him by a neckerchief, and his legs tied
together by a pair of braces, so that he could not move
hand or toot. Upon being liberated, the unfortunate
man stated that Pis name was John James Fussbender,
a German, living in Osborn-street, Whitechepel; that
on the previous evening he overtook three Irishmen,
with whom he entered into company. They walked to-
gether until they arrived near the field, when suddenly
he was dragged into the field in which he was found,
where his assailants, having rubbed him of seventeen
sovereigns and a watch, pro ceeded to dispossess him of
his clothes. The villains then secured his arms behind
him with a piece of ccrd, and used his braces as a liga-
ture to fasten his legs together, whin they turned him
over on his face;
carpet bag which ho had with him, containing appar. I
and walked off, taking with them a
and tools. The poor fellow when discovered was halt
dead with cold, having, as be believed, lain in that state
upwards of an hour. The robbe rs are believed to be on
their way back to Ireland eta Bristol.
BORROWING BY AN ARTIST.--A celebrated artist,
who figures largely in the picture galleries of the metro-
polis, wishing to take a sketch of part of Estwaite Lake
one day last week, went into a wayside cottage to get the
loan of a chair, but no one being in ho took one away.
Having to go back to the cottage before he took back
the piece of furniture, ho found a little girl " all tears,"
and crying most bit oily ; he asked the cause, " Some
yan hes stoun our best chair," whimpered the child.
The gifted artist immediately gave the girl some silver
as salve for her woutded feelings, and the face of the
child brightened up like one of his own sunniest land-
scapes.—Westmoreland Gazette.
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Saturday the
occupants of upwards of fifty houses in Wneeler-street,
