ALARMING EXPLOSION OF GAS.—Wednesday night,
about twelve o'clock, an explosion of gas took 'place at the
William the Fourth public house, Ship-yard, in the occupa-
tion of Messrs. Yates and Hewett. The proprietors being
desirous of driving from the house certain disagreeable tap-
room customers, who refused to leave when desired, deter-
mined not to light either gas or fire in the tap-room. In the
evening there was a strong smell of gas, and Mr. Hewett's
son, on proceeding to the tap-room in the dark, discovered by
feeling; the pipe, that the burner had been detached from the
gas-pipe, from which the gas was escaping. He stopped the
pipe with a cork, left the room, and returned, accompanied by
Mr. Yates, who carried a candle. An explosion immediately
took place ,followed by the falling of the various partitions of
the room, and the breaking of the glass in the front of the
bar, which was also forced out. The shock having subsided,
Mr. Yates and Master Hewett were both found to be shock-
ingly burned. The gas burner had not been found, and was
no doubt stolen" by the projector of the malicious attempt
against life and pioperty, for 'the discovery of whom Mr.
Hewett has offered a reward of lOL

We regret to state that Mr:Brom the respected Chamber•

have been a fatal accident, on Wednesday. He was in his

a heavy cart came in contact with the wheels of his vehicle
and turned it completely over, throwing the Chamberlain
violently upon the pavement. Mr. Brown was immediately

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE MAYHEW.
This bankrupt, who is well known in the literary
world for his connexion with the Era newspaper'
Puna,
&c.,&c., came up to pass his final examination, which
had been adjourned sine die for want of sufficient
accounts.
Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the bankrupt,
and Mr. Braham, a solicitor, and one of the creditors, to
oppose. The latter claimed costs for the last opposition,
and contended that the order of the Court was, that the
bankrupt should not come up again until he had filed a
new balance-sheet, and paid the costs.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, the general rule
was that the costs should be the costs of the assignees,
allowedt ando themnot individual
as
a general
r creditors,
d rule,ito rs,
it andw
ouilfd
and the Court fees; to hold to the contrary, would be an
extremely bad precedent. It was for the assignees to
opposewperere-
mium for oppressive opposition, and the bankrupt might
be subjected to great injustice.
Mr. BRAHAM said few debts had been proved, and the
one chosen as assignee was silent. cboests a
The Learned ComussioNEß—l need not remind you
that there is the official assignee, whose duty it is to look
after the estate, and it was on his report principally the
examination was adjourned. You have taken upon
yourself the duty of the assignee, besides, not being of
opinion that you are entitled to costs, I do not see why
the bankrupt should not now pass.
Mr. BRAHAM pressed for an adjournment for a short
time, for the attendance of Mr. Corks.

The Learned COMMISSIONER subsequently
the bankrupt was entitled to pass, the subject (:?,,fr

conduct might be inquired into when he came up f

SECONDARIES'--(THIS DAY).

HANKS V. HANKS.
The plaintiff in this action resides at Abingdon.
ac-
The
defendant is a cab proprietor at Kensington. The
tion was brought to recover the sum of 41. Os. 6d., the
balance of money lent. The defendant pleaded a set-off.
Mr. HAI°, who appeared for the plaintiff, proceeded to
state the case, from which it appeared that the plaintiff
had been violently assaulted in consequence of hia at-
tempt to obtain payment.
The Learned SDCONDAIOZ suggested that the matter
should be referred to a mu Mal friend, as evidence given
in a court of law between father and son tended to fur-
ther irritate the feelings of each, and to crimination and
recrimination.
said there would be neither
Mr. PARRY, for defendant;
on his part, and he had offered to submit the matter.
Mr. HAIR said his client wois not present, and he could
not consent.
The case was then procef)ded with. The principal
evidence for the plaintiff was Stephen Hanks, his son,
who deposed to having been asked by his brother to
solicit the loan from his father. On the contrary, how-
; ever, a daughter and niece %mere called to prove the loan
of 10/. by defendant, and t hat the 51. was part payment.
Notes of hand were put in with a view of showing de-
fendant had received 101. from a Loan Society to lend
his father, but the dates aid not tally with the alleg;or.

The SECONDARY said, it as a very painful exhibition

it was not even now tRo late to come to a p
arrangement. If not, the jury would have to sa

ther the

The jury were considering for a long time, and ulti-
mately gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
The case lasted all the morning.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(ISM DAY.)
_David Cleary was indicted for stealing a handker-
chief, the property of Henry Joseph Wood. The facts
of the case were of the ordinary character.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, de-
livered, in a tremulous:tone of voice apparently with
the deepest feelings of contrition and a sense of acute
suffering, an unusually well-worded address to the jury,
in which he stated that he had oi3ly just come out of the
House of Correction, where he had been detained in de-
fault of a trifling fine; that he was in extreme destitu-
tion, having been refused the slightest relief both by
his father, who was in independent eirctanstances, and
by the parish authorities.
Ile was found Guilty.
p
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in passing sentence, after
communicating with the officer of the House of Correc-
tion, said the prisoner's audacity and artful duplicity
were almost without parallel. It appeared that he bad

the verdict, on the ground of misdirection, and as against
evidence. Plaintiff had requested the defendant to pur-
chase for him a number of shares in the Kentish Coast
Railway Company. The defendant purchased what he
believed to be genuine shares in the company, but which
were afterwards discovered to have been fraudulently
issued ; and the present action was brought for the pur-
pose of recovering back the money paid to the defendant
for these shares. The questions left for the jury were, was
the scrip sold by defendant to plaintiff fraudulent scrip;
then, if the scrip was really fraudulent, what was the
effect of it, and what was it which the plaintiff really
intended to buy, and the defendant intended to sell.
Mr. MARTIN now contended that these questions were
not properly left to the jury.
Mr. Baron PARKE—The question seems to me to be
really this, what did the parties mean by the purchase of
shares in the Kentish Coast Railway Company. It ap-
pears that there were no other shares in the market
known as Kentish Coast Railway shares; it is, therefore,
perfectly reasonable to suppose that the plaintiff in-
tended to purchase, and bargained for the delivery of,
these shares.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—In my opinion the plaintiff in
this case has got what he bargained for.
Rule granted.
CLARK V. NEWSOM AND ANOTHER.

In this case, which was an actionioTfaise imprison-
ment on an alleged charge of forging railway scrip, and
in which a verdict was returned for defendant, a rule
nisi for a new trial was obtained by Sir F. Thesiger, on
tho ground of misdirection on the part of the Lord
Chief Baron, before whom the cause was tried.
With reference to the point reserved at the trial, as to
whether the forgery of the scrip amounted to a felony,
or only to a misdeamenour, the Court were of opinion
that the offence did not amount to a felony, inasmuch as
the scrip was not an accountable receipt.—Rule granted.

of every deecripti in. Among the other arrivals came
a dealer in stationery, from Paisley, on Tuesday—a
curious-looking red-haired fellow, arrayed in clothes
of many colours and qualities ; he claimed to bear a
striking resemblance to the beloved consort of her
Majesty; and when confronted with the London po-
liceman stationed at the Boat Bridge, stoutly asserted
the liberty of the subject, and his own right in par-
ticular to obtain an interview with her Majesty. "If
she knew," said he, " that I was here, I would not
have to wait long for admission." For the " very
great resemblance " he bore to the Prince he expected
a pension of five hundred a year, and " a maid of
honour to be given him for a wife I"—Correspondent
of Caledonian ATercuiy.

THE QUEEN.—STRANGE COINCIDENCE.—Perhaps
it is Not generally known that the wild and romantic
spot, where our beloved Sovereign is at present re-
siding, is the identical place where Fergus, our first
Scottish monarch, delighted to soj urn, and where, not
many yards behind the beautiful lodge of Ardverikie,
his remains lie ; also those of two succeeding mo-
narchs. In those days it was chiefly upon the most
elevated situations that the inhabitants of our
country resided, in consequence of the plains and
valleys being then infested with wolves and other
wild beasts. The proper meaning of the name " Ard•
verikie," is Ard-Fergus (Fergus's height); or, in
Gaelic language, Ardferigie. From this circumstance,
we are not surprised though her Majesty, if aware of the
fact, should choose this royal residence of the " olden
time" in the " land of the mountain and of the flood,"
as a temporary abode amongst us.—Ross-shire Ad-
vertiser.

EVEN T H VOLUME OF TRIERS'
HISTORY OF THE CONSULATE AND EMPIRE,•

Translated by D. FORBES CAMPBELL, Esq.,
With the sanction and approval of the Author.
CONTENTS :—Jena—Eylau —Friedland—and Tilsit.

" In the Seventh Volume of this elaborate and important work
the celebrated author takes us through the grand campaign by which
the power and prestige of Prussia were annihilated in a month. The
history of the Consulate and Empire is certainly one of the greatest
literary performances of the day. It is remarkable and distinguished
beyond all previous histories of Revolutionary France for the masses
of exclusive facts which M. Tillers' position has enabled him to ac-
cumulate from numerous authentic qnarters."—Morning Font.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, MARCH 16. —There has
been an exceedingly dull and depressed market to-day.
The demand, both for goods and yarn, has been ex-
tremely limited, and prices are in many cases a allude
lower than last week. A considerable number of mills
are now entirely stopped, and very few, except those
spinning fine numbers, are working full time.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, MARCH 15.—There is yet no
change for the better to report in the flannel market ;
the demand for goods continuing limited, and prices
much the same as last Monday. Wool remains firm in
price, but limited in demand.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, MARCH 13.—1 n every depart-
ment of trade the dullness remains unabated; and our
piece hall, to-day, presented but a gloomy appearance.
Alike in yarn and manufactured goods, the same depres-
sion continues, both as regards price and demand. In-
deed, the situation of the spinner and the manufacturer
can t'.carcely be worse. There is very little doing in any
kind of wool, and the prices continue to drop.
LEEDS, MARCH 16.-Our market of this day does not
present a-ly new feature, end is like that of last week—
; vtithout animation.—Manche,ter Guardian.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP XII.

This Committee met to-.lay at twelve o'clock, in Room
25, the Hon. W. S. Lascelles in the chair. All the other
members of the Committee were presen'.
IPSWICH AND Bunv ST. EDMUND'S, No. 11.
(NEWM.A.RIEnT AND ELY).

The case on behalf of this line was resumed.
Mr. P. Bruff, civil engineer, was examined at con-
siderable length regarding the engineering features of
this line. He said it started from out of the Ipswich
and Bury St. Edmund's main line at Newmarket,
and proceeded in the inept practicable enaineer-
ing route to Ely, where it terminated. To avoid the
necessity of a tunnel at Newmarket, there were two
rather severe gradients between Kenford and New-
market. These were one in sixty and one in eighty
respectively. There would not be any difficulty in work-
ing them, as they existed on the portion of the hne
where there would be the least traffic. The curves pre-
sented no engineering features of difficulty. The estimate
of cost was 13.0001. per mile, or 250,0001. in all, making it
the cheapest line yet constructed in the district. The op-
posing Company, the Newmarket and Chesterford, proposed to
make a tunnel at Newmarket, and would therefore have better
gradients; but that line took a circuitous route, and passed
through tens that would make it very difficult of construction.
This closed the promoters' case.
Mr. GUEADON, who, on behalf of certain landowners, pro-
posed to address the Committee on the relative merits of the
competing :Ines, was refused a hearing,
The CHAILLMAN stating that they would only hear those
who appeared on petition against the Bill under considera •
Lion, on account of alleged injury to be done to their pro-
perties,.
Mr. O'MALLEY then addressed the Committee on behalf of
the Duke of Rutland against the Bill.
At the close of the Learned Gentleman's speect the Com•
mittee adjourned till Monday next.

MUSICAL MEMORANDA.

PHILIIAR3IO;iIC.—It had been arranged, previous to
the rehearsal on Saturday, to commence the Philhar-
moniceoncert with an overture, and conclude it with
symp ony ; but we believe that the plan heretofore
acted upon will still be adhered to—flaydn's symphony,
"La Reine de France," will open the performance ;
Beethoven's symphony, No. 1 (in C), will occupy the
place of honour, at the commencement of the second
part ; and the same composer's " Leonora" will finish
the concert. Miss Kate Loder will play a pianoforte
concerto, by Weber, in the first part ; and Salmon a
violin concerto by Mendelssohn, in the second.
ANCIENT CONCERTS.—A second change has taken
place in the arrangement of the Queen's Concerts of
Ancient Music. In consequence of an expectation that
the installation of his Royal Highness Prince Albert will
take place at Cambridge, from the 3d to the Bth of July,
the eighth Ancient Concert will not take place until the
14th of that month; and the Messiah will be performed
on the 21st, so that the commencement week, &c., will
be clear of any musical performance of consequence in
London. - _ _ - -

Madame Lecoy's concert at the Castle Assembly
Rooms, Richtnopd, on Thursday evening, was extremely
well attended by a highly fashionable and wilt-eel au
dience. The vocalists were Caradori Allan, Madame
Lecuy, and Madame F. Lablache, Signor F. Lablache,
and John Parry. The Distin family performed on the
Sax horns. Negri and Chaulieu conducted, and all went
off excellently.
SUSSEX HALL.—A concert was given on Saturday
evening, which attracted about 700 persons. Several
songs, duets, trios, &c., were successfully sung by Misses
Poole, Isaacs, Wortham, Barwick, and Sara Flower ;
Messrs. Sporle, Robinson, F. Smith, Percival, and John
Parry, and the encores were numerous. Director, Mr.
W. C. Percival. Conductor, Mr. F. Smith.
rhe Glee Club dined on Saturday at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern, when several very fine compositions in
