SOCIETY oie BRITISH Aitint;TS.

The opening meeting of the above society, to cele-
brate the establishment of the school of art in con-
nexion with it, was held at the Gallery, Suffolk-street,
Pall-mall, yesterday evening, at seven o'clock.
The President, Mr. HURLSTONE, addressed the
numerous audience, commencing with a brief view of
the circumstances which had led to the establishment
of the society in 1823. He proceeded to show the
advantage it had since conferred on art and artists,
and to point out the utility of a school of art, in
order to render the society perfect as far as pos-
sible, and capable of extending art still further.
It was obvious, he considered, that the very in-
crease of the population since 1768, when the school
for the Royal Academy was founded, had rendered
it absolutely necessary that there should be an
increased extent of accommodaticut, and means of
artistic study. With the view of meeting these
wants, and providing for the artistic demands of the
age, the corporation of the British artists had re-
solved to establish a school of art, to consist of the
following departments, in which every ioprovement
should be introduced. 1. The anatomy of the
human figure, with actual demonstration. 2. A
school of the antique. The opportunities afforde& the
student by the British Museum in connexion wieb
this subject were so splendid, that the society could
not hope to offer any additional advantages except so
far as regarded casts of subjects not to be found in
the.Museutn or in the times of study ; but he might
say that it had been suggested by an eminent member
of the Fine Arts Commission that casts from speci-
mens of the' works of the mediaeval ages should
be added to. this department.—(Hear, hoar.) 3. A
school of comparative anatomy, a most useful branch
of study, which Rubens and Leonardo da Vinci bad
declared to be of the most essential importance, and in
the knowledge of which the painter would find the
greatest help in describing those illustrious sedans
wherein the horse, the noblest of animals, had so
often taken his share with mate 4. The usual op-
portunities of study from the life. 5. A class of
perspective, under the guidance of Mr. Sadler ; and
6. Lectures on chromatics.— (Hear, hear.) There
melts] t, atse ieeserea sm ta.na-cape painting, and on
other subjects connected with art, from time to time.
The Corporation had given their favourable con-
sideration to the admission of ladies to the advan-
tages of the schools—(Hear, hear); and when they
looked to the works of Elizabeth of Serrani and
Angelica Kauffman, he saw every reason to hope that
their exertions would be successful in an art for
which their natural good taste and delicacy of senti-
ment was so admirably calculated. It was the in-
tention of the corporation to open the schools gratui-
tously at some future period, but at present their
funds would not permit them to do so. However, the
charge would be merely nominal, as the great part of'
the expenses would be defrayed by the society. Be-
fore he concluded he begzed to call the attention of
the meeting to the fact that this was the first instance
of a public school being established in the arts without
a grant from Government, and he could not allow them
to separate without expressing thanks to her Majesty's
present Ministers for all they had done for the arts,
and particularly for their conduct in giving legality
to those art unions, which had done so much to,
stimulate art, and to procure for artists the patronage
of the public. It could not be expected that this
great nation should pass away without leaving some
monument behind her such as had reflected glory on
empires less powerful and advanced in civilization,
and if in the erection of this school the Society of
British Artists were but laying one stone fur the
foundation of such an edifice, they would esteem
themselves amply rewarded.
Mr. MARION then delivered a lecture on compara-
tive anatomy, illustrated by skeletons, casts, and
drawings, and the proceedings terminated with the
announcement, that the school would be opened to-
morrow (this day), and that next week there would
be a school of models draped classically for the
ladies.

THE LATE EXPLOSION OF
FIRE WORKS.

Last evening, at seven o'clock, Mr. W. Payne, the
City Coroner, and a respectable jury, assembled in
the Board-room of Guy's Hospital, tor the purpose
of inquiring into the deaths of Robert Mordey, aged
14, and Edward Vincent, aged 12, who died from
the effects of injuries received at the recent explosion
of fireworks in Little Surrey-street, 131ackfriars-
road, some particulars of which appeared in this jour-
nal of Saturday last.
Mrs. Amelia Howard said that she rented the
house, numbered 64, Little Surrey-street, Black-
friars •road. For about two months one of the sufferers
(George Mordey) had occupied the back room on
the ground floor. When he took possession of it he
said he wanted the apartment for a cabinet- maker's
workshop. She had, however, lately found out that
he was making fireworks, and had repeatedly heard
smart explosions in the yard. On the evening of
Friday last, about half-past five o'clock, while she
was sitting in her room at work, she was suddenly
alarmed by hearing a loud noise, like the discharge
of guns, proceeding from Mr. Mordey's room. Feel-
ing convinced that an explosion had taken place, she
immediately jumped out of the window and ran
away from the pretni,es. Shortly after she saw the
deceased Mordey come out of the door with his
clothes all on fire, and presently afterwards the oe-
ceased's• brother ran out terribly burned over the
arms and body. The fire was extinguished on the
&ceased Mordey by some of the neighbours. Wit-
ness did not see the other deceased leave the pre-
mises.

After other evidence Of a corroborative nature had
been heard,

Willidrn Mordey, of 30, Joiner-street, said that
bis son, George Mordey; had followed the firework
business for several years. Ile was at present very
bad, and lying in the hospital. Ile told witness on
Friday night that no one was to blame but himself ;
that he was drying something on the stove when it
exploded, and shot across the room, and fired the com-
positionlying on the tables.

Mr. Greorge Roper, house surgeon, proved that
both deceased were very extensively burned, from the
effects of which they died—Mordey at six o'clock on
Saturday morning, and Vincent at four o'clock that
morning (Monday). They never rallied in the least.
The Learned CORONER having summed up at great
12ngth, the jury immediately returned a verdict of
" Manslaughter against George Mordey."

We are requested to state that there is no truth
whatever in the report circulated yesterday that either
of the firms of Messrs. Melville and Co., Messrs. Cruick-
shank, Melville, and Co., or Messrs. P. Cruickshank and
Co., has stopped payment.
THE REPORTED FAILURE OF MESSRS.
We have been requested to insert the following, which
has been sent us from the office of the Stockport Mer-
cury :—" We beg to correct an error which inad vent ntly
appeared in the trade article published in this week's
Mercury, of the stoppage of the highly resp,etable firm
of Messrs. J. and J. Gibbs, Manchester warehousemen.
This arose from the unavoidable absence of our usual
correspondent from Manchester, and was inserted, t')ge-
ther with a list of other houses, received from a party in.
the daily habit of attending 'Change. We regret this
exceedingly, the more so as our invariable practice has
been carefully to avoid giving insertion to any article
affecting individual credit without first being fully an-
thenticated.—Manchester, Oct. 1, 1847."
DRZADFVL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—BRISTOL,
OCT. 4.—An accident, - by which one unfortunate men
lost his life and others were severely injured, occurred.
on Saturday last at the extensive steam-engine manufac-
tory of Messrs. Stothert, Haughter, and Co., Cheese-
lane, St. Phillips. An inquest has been holders on the
body of John Hobbs, the man who was killed, and the
particulars of the melancholy occurrence were thus
o
described by the principal witness elramined. Thomasa
Moses of St. Phillips, one of the engineers employed at
‘a)cid Haughter,
v,tli three but
the works, deposed that the deceased was a labourer
working for Messrs. Suthe
r erriteda n
thirty-seven years of age, married
child-
ren. On Saturday the work men were employed in,
putting a new steam-engine on a railway truck for the
purpose of its being conveyed to the terminus of the
Great Western Railway. The mode in which the engine
was raised was by what are called shears. It was sus-,
petaled from the shears, and had been raised to the;
height of about three feet from the ground, when the
shears suddenly broke, and the engine Has dashed to the
floor of the factory.
A large fragment of the sheers fell.
upon the deceased and struck him on the back of the
head and felled him to the ground, the piece of ma-
chinery falling upon him and killing him almost instan-
taneously. Other pieces struck two other workmen,
who were injured, but not fatally. The weight of the
engine was about fourteen tons, but the shears which
had been erected about six years, had always been con-,
sidered more than equal to such a weight. Indeed,
withih the last three weeks they had been used success-
fully in raising engines of from two to four tons heavier.
The Jury having consulted, returned a verdict of " Ac-
cidental death.

THE QUEEN AT ARDVERINIE —We understand
that while Prince Albert was absent on his visit to In-
verness, the Queen planted two trees at Adverikie,
larch and a Scotch fir, one for her Majesty and another
for the Prince Consort, in commemoration of their happf
sojourn by the side of Loch Laggan. When her at"
jesty visited Cluny Castle, the worthy chief made his
little son, Gordon Macpherson, present the Prince of
Wales with a ring, containing a miniature of Prince
Charles Edward. Some days afterwards the Duchess
of Norfolk received her Majesty's commands to send
from the Prince of Wales, for his play fellow, a magnifies
cent breast pin, a carbuncle set in diamonds.--ineerness

POLICE INTELLIGENO_,E.
MAX SION -H01) SE.
John Bray, aged 68, formerly an extensive livery
stable keeper in Moorgste-street, but reduced to the
condition of a bailiff's follower, was b ought before
the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to
violate the wife of a person in whose house he was
appointed to keep possession.
Mr. T. C. Lewis, music-seller, of No. 96, Cheap-
side, said—The defendant was left in possession of
my premises from the Sheriffs' Court, upon a judg-
ment for 191. odd, and has been in possession three
weeks. Since he has been there I slept out, my wife,
two children, and a servant being left on the premises.
On Friday morning, at nine o'clock, I came home,
and could find no one except the defendant and my
young man and boy in the shop. My bedroom was
in disorder, and the bed and bedstead were in the
middle of the room; the drawers against the door, and
all in confusion. In consequence of a communication
from my housekeeper, I said to the defendant, t r.
Bray, what has transpired during my absence yes ehr-
day ?'' He said, " Oh, you have heard part of t e
tale, and I can only tell you your wife is a
--
she has slept with me these last ten nights., I said,
" I'll knock you down if you say that again," and he
replied, " Oh, I'm in possession, and I dare you to do
it ; I have arms about me, and I will use them." He
afterwards repeated the offensive words with still
more disgusting additions, in the presence of the
sheriff's officer, who ordered him out, and I knocked
him down in the shop. He then declared that he
would cut my throat, and my wife's throat too, and
be the death of the pair of us.
Mrs. Mary Ann Lewis, wife of the last witness,
said—l had disehargod my servant, and got my
sister-in-law to reside with me. On Friday I went
to a friend's house, and returned home at ten o'clock.
I took off my bonnet and was going up stairs, and the
defendant, who was in the kitchen on the second floor,
said, " Stop a minute, have some bread and cheese."
I refused, and he stood between me and the door, and
said, "Now, my dear creature, you can't pass with-
out giving me a kiss." He used exceedingly gross
and offensive language, and I threw up the window
and 3crcana ad ft.r the police. lie followed me and
seized me by the arm and pulled me away, and I ran
up stairs to my bedroom and put a chest of drawers
against the door, and he tried to get in. I was in
such a state of agitation I could not go to bed at all,
and he remained outside the door. The witness then
stated that she felt reluctant to increase her husband's
troubles by telling him what occurred. The defen-
dant, however, continued his solicitations on another
night, regardless of the presence of Mrs. Lewis's
sister-in-law, who, seeing an open razor in his hand,
threw up the window and called out " Murder."
The police, however, would not take him into custody
as he was in possession. For the first time then he
used expreasions against her reputation, and the an-
noyance became so intolerable that exposure became
indispensable.
Mrs. Hughes stated that she went to sleep with
Mrs. Lewis, in the absence of that lady's husband,
and witnessed the extraordinary nature of the perse-
cution with which the old fool harassed the poor
woman, and from her description it would certainly
appear that Bray had taken leave of his senses.
It struck several persons present during the exa-
mination that the tvo women might have easily
punished the defendant for the filthy language he
had used. He, however, frightened them both by his
brutality.
Bray said that the story had gathered a great deal
in the telling, and that he had never used any threats,
for, indeed, there was no occasion for any.
The LORD MAYOR said the case was a very aggra-
vated one, for the defendant had not only taken ad-
vantage of the distressed condition of the family, but
was base enough to reflect upon the character of a
woman upon being steadily repulsed. tinder such
circumstances it was necessary to commit him for
trial at the Central Criminal Court.
Committed accordingly.
Three men, named Cambridge, Rahe, and Chip,
who have been employed on board the Venezuela
steamer, from Ostend, were charged with having on
board a quantity of tobacco, upon which the duty
had not been paid.
C. A. Davis, officer of the Customs, stated that in
consequence of information which he had received he
went on board the Venezuela on Friday morning, at
one o'clock, accompanied by Inspector Evans. In
the bow of the vessel they discovered a sack, con-
taining 65 packages of leaf and 3 packages of manu •
factured tobacco. When Rake saw them he shook
most violently, and upon being asked whether he had
got the ague, made some confused and unintelligible
answers. Chip, however, talked about a little cold
steel for them.
Inspector Evans confirmed the account given by
the officer.
The witnesses were cross-examined at some length,
but the evidence was not at all affected.
The prisoners were each of them convicted and
fined in the penalty of 1001.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday Sergeant F. White, of the Smithfield
police, solicited Mr. Alderman Musgrove's directions
with respect to twenty merino sheep affected with
the smallpox, which had been brought to Smithfield
for sale. He had caused them to be separated, but
he:did not know whether he ought to seize them with
a view to the prosecution of the owner for sending
them to market knowing them to be affected with an
infectious disorder.
Mr. Alderman MuscatovE said he had not heard of
sheep being subject to such a disease before. The
sergeant should first get the opinion of the surgeon
appointed by the City to attend to complaints arising
in that market.
The sergeant said that Mr. Nias's appointment
only related to the horse-fair. He was a veterinary
surgeon.
Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE observed that he could
only act upon a competent opinion that the sheep were
diseased, and the disease contagious. He directed
the officer to request the surgeon's attention to the
case, and report immediately thereon.
In about an hour the sergeant and the surgeon at-
tended.

The sergeant stated that during his absence the
sheep had been sold to butchers at 16s. a head, but
they were not removed.
kr. Nias stated that he had read of some sheep
having been lately discovered to be infected with
smallpox, and upon inspecting the twenty sheep in
Smithfield he found them to be similarly affected.
There was an eruption on various parts, but particu-
larly under the shoulder, and it had an appearance
like the eruption of smallpox. There were a number
of small ulcers, but they were healing over, and he
should say the sheep had got well over the disease.
Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE inquired if the disease
had run to a stage at which the danger of infection
ceased. Suppose he had a flock of sheep, should he have
any objectitin to these twenty sheep been turned amongst
them ? Mr. Nias said he should not suffer them to be
mixed with a flock if he possessed one, and yet he
should hesitate to say that they wsuld certainly
infect a flock. He had had no experience in the
disease.

Sergeant White said they were imported from Spain
mine weeks ago, and had since been grazing. They
had been kept till they were supposed to be healthy
again. The salesman had rejected about three hun-
dred sheep that morning that were labouring under the
disease in the inflammatory stage.
Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE said, that under the
evidence he had heard he could only direct that those
who had bought them should immediately remove
them, and he very much doubted if the butchers
would be justified in killing them, and exposing them
for sale in their present state. The officer had done
his duty very properly in bringing the matter under
his notice, for it was an offence to bring animals
labouring under contagious diseases into a public
market to the danger of all the animals there.

and went to Mr. Pollock, surgeon
and saw his assistant, who said the wornanTjtarden,
ceived a blow and a kick. Witness returned aid thel4-
house, and found the prisoner in the watercloseto. Re
went up stairs with him to the back attic, where he
found the deceased lying on a bed ; there was blood
on the stairs and floor. When in the room with the
prisoner, witness said, "I must take you into custody
for this." The prisoner said, " Very well, I am sorry
for it, she was drunk at the time, and she aggravated
rae." He repeated this at the station-house. He
found 13s. 7d. and two penknives and a key in his pos-
,,,sion. The body of deceased was laid out. She
was without her clothes.
Mr. TYRWIIITT asked the prisoner if he wished to
put any questions to the witness ? Prisoner (de-
Jectedly)—l hare none,
Mr. S. Caldclough, surgeon and assistant to Mr.
Pollock, deposed that he was called upon to attend
the deceased at half-past two o'clock in the morning,
at No. 6, Beacham-street. Did not see the person
who called, but thought it was the prisoner. He
went to the house, and noticed, on two of the upper
stairs, blood and water. Saw a woman lying on her
right side on the floor, and another woman by her
side. The face of the former was palli I, and she
was almost insensible. Asked her what was the
matter ? She replied that she was ill. Asked her if
there was any cause for the illness, and she used a
digusting remark. Witness heard she had been pre-
viously ill, about half an hour. Asked if she had

;s-i.e.:sets/es-. see.s—v......si -..--..."e5-------
been drinking liquor : she said she bad. The irn- 1
Pressien of s' itness was, that she had been drinking.
Witness went into the adjoining room, and found the
prisoner sitting on the side of the bed. Asked if he
knew the cause of his wife's illuess. A little girl,
his daughter, said her mother had been quarrelling
with her father. She had been ill for two or three
days. She said her father had kicked her mother
behind ; but her:illness had began before he kicked her.
The deceased was quite restless. Witness left the
place, and sent medicine, with instructions
how to
be used. The prisoner inquired of witness if he
thought it a serious case? Witness replied, " In-
deed it is." The prisoner said, "I am sorry for it ;
she -was a dreadful temper. She had quarrelled with
me, because I would not let her have more liquor.
She threw a knife, a shovel, the poker, and the tongs
at me ; the poker struck me on the nose, and I
kicked her." Witness received information that she
died at four o'clock in the morning.
The prisoner declined putting any questions to this
witness, saying, " It is quite right ; I went for the
surgeon."
Mrs. Margaret Goodwin, a lodger in the first floor
of No. 6, Beacham-street, deposed that the deceased's
daughter came and requested witness to attend upon
her mother in her room. She went and found the
prisoner supporting his wife. She was sitting on the
floor. Saw blood before she entered the room. She
was insensible. There was blood near the room door.
The prisoner requested her to go and fetch a medical
gentleman. She told him to go himself, and he did so
immediately. The deceased continued insensible until
he came back, and the surgeon followed instantly.
By Mr. TRYwHITT—There was not less than a
quart of blood. Asked the prisoner how it happened.
He said they had been quarrelling. She had drunk
a quartern of gin off at a draught, and half a pint of
beer. The prisoner supported his wife whilst witness

administered the medicine. The deceased was a quar-
relsome woman when sober. On Saturday night, at
twelve o'clock, heard them quarrelling whilst witness
was in bed. During the absence of the doctor the
deceased said she was very ill, and desired her to
raise her up. She said nothing about how it happened
in the presence of the prisoner. She was very ex-
hausted. Witness could not say whether she was
conscious of her 'danger at the time. Did not observe
the appearance of wiping away blood until after Mr.
Pollock had been. The deceased's clothes were satu-
rated with blood.
Thomas Ennis, a lodger in the house, heard the
screams of the prisoner's daughter about two o'clock
in the morning, and cries of " Oh, come to my mo-
ther !" It was not unusual to hear such quarrelling.
He confirmed the above testimony.
Elizabeth Clifton, the prisoner's daughter, twelve
years of age, was called, but not sworn. She said
that her mother came home with her father about
ten o'clock. She slept in the front room, and her
parents in the back room. She was asleep when
they returned home, and they awoke her. They were
kind to one another at first, and then they began to
quarrel.hterre, He
.h Her mother began the quarrel, and it con-
tinued for some time, when her mother called her
tither a very had name. They were sitting at the
table at supper. There was a quartern of gin and a
pint of porter on the table. Her mother drank the
gin and then the beer. Her father was sitting still
before this. She

mother toldAshe should nat live till the morning, and gave her a
piece of black riband to wear as mourning for her.
Her father kicked her mother after having been
ohtem
s
called the names, and the blood came on the top of
the stairs. Her back was towards him at the time.
She was running out of the way when he kicked her.
' By Mr. TYRWHITT—IItr father had not threatened
to kick her, or kicked her to make her go out of the
room. Her mother cried out immediately after her
father kicked her. She did not fall after the kick.
When she cried out, her father put his arm round her
neck and supported her into the room, and the bleed-
ing commenced at once. There was a light in the
room and she could see. Her father cried at the
time, and said he had no wish to do it. He said,
" How foolish you were to suffer me to kick you;
I did not wish to do it, but you are such a bad
temper."
Mr. TYRWHITT said he should remand the prisoner,
and he cautioned him that he was not bound to say
anything.
The prisoner, who was much affected, said nothing,
and he was remanded.
The poor little daughter left the court crying
bitterly.
The body of the deceased lies for a coroner's
inquest.
