FATAL EXPLOSION.

SATURDAY.—A frightful explosion took place
at Messrs. Eilins and Co.'s salt• works yesterday, by
which one life was sacrificed, and others are in a precarious
condition.

It is necessary to explain the construction of the works in
order to understand the nature of the accident. The pans
in which the brine (from which the salt is manufactured) is
boiled are not placed immediately over the tire, but have
false bottoms a few metres in depth, which are tilled with
water, and the steam generated therefrom is carried off in
pipes to other pans, and generates sufficient heat to cause
the brine in these also to deposit salt. From some cause or
other, at present unexplained, the false bottom containing
the boiling water beneath one of the pans blew up, and with
such force as to drive one-half of the latter through the
wall of the building in which it is placed, tearing up the
strong piping, and throwing the whole into inextricable
confusion.

The greater part of the workmen and women had just
retired from the premises to their afternoon meal, when the
explosion took place, but a horse and cart standing near the
premises was by the explosion precipitated into the small
river Salwarpe near. Two men loading the cart, and also
the driver, were dreadfully scalded, but it is hoped they will
recover. Two of the injured men, named George and James
Carter were conveyed to Worcester Infirmary, where the
former died this morning, and the latter is lying in a danger-
ous condition. The unfortunate deceased has left a widow
and a large family of ten children.
An inquest will be held on the body of George Carter,
when the cause of the catastrophe will be developed.

FIRE IN THE CUTTINGS, 84C., OF THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.—The grass on the slopes of the cut-
tings and embankments of the Great Western Railway, be-
tween Slough and Paddington, has been nearly, throughout
the eighteen miles, completely destroyed by lire, occasioned
by its being ignited by the live coals thrown out by the fur-
naces of the steam-engines traversing the line. Several
patches of from half a mile to three-quarters of a mile in
length have been laid totally bare, and the roots, together
with those of the growing shrubs, wholly destroyed. A pas-
senger, who left Slough by the Bristol day mail-train on
Saturday, observed the grass on the cuttings and embank-
ments on fire, to a considerable extent, in no less than a
dozen places.
A MAN SHOT.—On Friday last, John Thompson,
carrier betwixt Gisburn and Settle, was entrusted with a
gun that belonged to David Seed, of Hellifield, to take to
Settle to get repaired. The gun had a cover upon it, and
when he got to Settle, he was taking it out of his cart, when
it proved to be charged, and the contents entered his side,
and killed him in a moment. He was 62 years of age. A
coroner's inquest was subsequently held on the body of the
and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
with a geodand of 2/. upon the gun.—Leeds Intel-

DISCOVERY OF A MAN'S LEG AND SKULL IN THE
THAMEE.—On Saturday morning, as some workmen were
dredging the river near Waterloo-bridge, they discovered a
man's leg and a human skull. They were both in a decom-
posed state from being exposed to the water for some time
and the It g had on it a piece of a large boot, similar to those
used by fishermen. Rumours were circulated that the body
had been cut up, that the guilt of the party committing the
crime might not be revealed ; but in all probability the limbs
and skull were cut asunder by some steamer or other vessel
as it was lying in the bed of the river, at low water mark.
Information has been sent to the Coroner, who will hold an
inquest forthwith.
'flit THUNDER-STORM YESTERDAY.—Yesterday,
about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, this metropolis
was visited with a thunder-storm, the phenomena of which
were most eccentric. The clouds appeared to form them-
selves into a semi-circular girdle in the southern hemi-
sphere, and the electric shocks shot out in rapid and almost
unremitting succession, as if from a continuous park of ar-
tillery, until one erratic flash detaching itself from the gene-
ral volume, which appeared to spend its fury about two
miles to the south, burst with a terrible clatter in the neigh-
bourhood of Denmark -street station-house. Inspector Done-
gan, who was on duty at the time, judging by the sound
that something had been stricken, after careful inquiry, ascer-
tained that the electric fluid had struck the south-west point
of the Sailors' Home, in Well-street, Whitechapel, and dis-
lodged about four yards of the brickwork right opposite to
the spot where Prince Albert, a few weeks ago, laid the foun-
datiUre stone of the new Mariners' Church. The heavy *miss
fell with an immense crash into an upper room of the house
of a Mr. Ellis, cow- keeper, adjoining the home, which at pre-
sent is used as a dressing-room. Mrs. Ellis, who had been
dressing there, had fortunately left a few minutes previously;
and so sudden was the shock, and so powerful the electric
effect, that every. inmate of the house was for the moment
paralysed. The immense mass of bricks broke completely
through the roof and two ceilings.
A marchand de yin of Bercy, near Paris, hanged
himself on Thursday. He had, in a moment of intoxication.
accepted a bill for 15,000 f., and on becoming sober, and
reflecting that he would be unable to pay it when due, IA
was failed with despair, and regolyed to commit Weide.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 4.
IN RE CHAMBERS'S BANKRUPTCY.

In this case the bankrupts are the well known bankers
late of Bond-street ; and this morning Mr. Groom, the
official assignee, announced that the first and final divi-
dend of 2. 03. in the pound would be payable next week.
Therfiat is dated as far back as the 19th of November,
1825, consequently the creditors (half of whom are dead),
hare been kept out of their money upwards of twenty
years. The amount spent in expenses has been enor-
mous, and yet 20s. in the pound is left for the creditors.
Warrants for payment may be obtained at, the official
assignees' office on Saturday next and two following
Saturdays, at which time all securities exhibited at the
proof must be produced. Mr. Groom also stated that
executors and administrators of deceased creditors would
be required to produce the probate of will or letters of
administration. The final result of this bankruptcy
-must prove what severe sufferers the Messrs. Chambers
have been in the matter.

LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS.
Mr. Chlrles Lamb, a solicitor, said to be residing at
19, Earl-street, Blackfriars, was on Saturday indicted
for committing a most unprovoked assault on a young
man named Mauley.
Mr. Parry attended to prosecute. The defendant
pleaded Not Guilty, and conducted his own defence.
The prosecutor stated, that having seen Mr. James
Resell, the landlord of the Angel Inn, America-square,
Minories, four or five times, he was induced to cash him
an I. 0. U. for 1401., to pay a brewer's account, on the
understanding that it was to be repaid in forty-eight
hours, Mr. 'lasell never met the payment, and he im-
mediately commenced proceedings against him, when an
agreement was made to defray the amount bymonthly pay-
ments of 5/, The first instalment was duly paid, and on the
second becoming due only 3/. was handed in. At the
suggestion of his solicitor he went to Mr. Hasell's
house on Sunday evening the 21st of June, to inform
him that if the remaining 2/. was not paid an execution
would follow. A conversation arose, in the course of
which several observations were made, pro and con,
whereupon he was seized by the arms, and thrust out
of the house, and as he was going out he was struck
violently on the eye by the defendant, and knocked
down.

The defendant, after cross•examining the prosecutor,
addressed the jury, and said he was led to commit the
assault, owing to the prosecutor refusing to be quiet,-and
continuing to create a disturbance in the house, to the
serious injury of Mrs. Hasell, who was ill at the time.
The jury instantly found him Guilty.
The RECORDER fined the defendant 51., and ordered
him to enter into recognixances to keep the peace for the
next twelve months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Moxhay, of the Hall of Commerce in Thread-
needle-street, appeared before Aldermen Sir C. Mar-
shall and Moon, upon the complaint of Mr. Mountague,
the surveyor of the north district of the City, for unlaw-
fully taking down and rebuilding a piece of wall in In-
ner Cushion-court, Old Broad-street, without giving
previous notice to the complainant, whereby he had in-
curred a forfeiture of thrice the amount of the surveyor's
fees, and a fine not exceeding 20L
Mr. Montague said he made this complaint, not to
recover his fees, which in this case he renounced, but to
show that the New Building Act must be attended to,
and that the consequence of disregarding it might be the
incurring of serious penalties. He should press for the
infliction of a fine by way of warning to others. This
wall was declared to be dangerous, was shored up, and
Mr. Moxhay was required to repair it. It had been re-
paired, and no notice had been given to him. Now the
law required him to sign a certificate that the repairs had
been made properly, according to the Act, but how was
he to do this when he knew nothing about it till the work
was covered in and finished ? By the 13th section, no•
tice was to be delivered at his office two days before any
wall should be altered. In this case, his fee fur attending
to survey, &c., was 3/. 3s.
Mr. Moxhay asked him how he could pretend to be
ignorant of the matter, when he•had himself caused an
official notie) from the Court of Aldermen to be served
on him, requiring him to repair the wall within fourteen
days?

Mr. Montague said he had nothing to do with the
notice produc.-d. It emanated not from him, but the
office of the City Solicitor.
Mr. Moxhay proceeded to interrogate Mr. Montagu
with some heat, on this point, as he thbught Mr. Mon,
tague was knowingly denying a fact.
Mr. Montague explained that he received a letter from
Mr. Brown, of Cushion-court, ceiling his attention to the
dangerous state of this wall, which was rotten, loose, and
bulging. lie went and looked at it, end reported to the
official refiTees that he considered it to be highly dan-
gerous. The referees gave notice to the Court of Alder-
men, who directed the City Surveyor to immediately, by
hoarding in and shoring up, secure the wall, and the
City S dicitar was instructed to give notice to the owner
to begin to repair the same within fourteen days. He
knew, therefore, that the wall required to be repaired,
and that so-nebody would have notice to repair, but he
did not know when the party would begin the re-
pair, that Le might attend and see what was beiry
done. • be party who repaired, the wall was required
to give him two days' n lice before they began, in order
that he might be present at the proper time.
Mr. Moxhay said he did net consider that the wall
eel ,nged to hi-n, but it had been decided that it did. It
had, to the extent of te.ree yards, been loosened, by
driving wedges against it, in the course of some repairs
going forward at the premises of Mr. Brown, who male
the original complaint of the unsoundness of the wall
He maintained' that, in fact, there could be no want o
kno ededge that the wall was to be immediately repaired,
as Mr. gor;tague himself helped to put the law in mo
Sion ; and, secondly, that as the City authorities ordered
him to make the repair, it dispensed with the necessity
on his part of giving notice of his intention to repair.
The one notice must override the other.
The magistrates called in the City Solicitor to advise
on the question, who was of or inion the builder or owner
was not relieved from the obligation to give notice to
the district surveyor of the precise day of commencing
the repair, and that the penalty had been incurred, but
Mr. Moxhay had not omitted to give the notice in de-
fiance of the law, or to evade any lawful fees, and this
should be considered in fixing the amount of the fine.
Mr. Alderman Moon and Sir Chapman Marshall con
curred in the compliment paid to Mr. Moxhay, and miti-
gated the fine to 40s. At the same time they compli-
mented the surveyor on his disinterestedness in renounc-
ing the treble fee of nine guineas.
Mr. Montague surrendered the penalty of 40s. to
the poor-box.
James Boulter, a young man in a workhouse garb, was
charged by Mr. Mortlock, the master of the East Lon-
don Union workhouse for males, with being a rogue
and vagabond, and neglecting to maintain himself.
Sir C. MARSHALL asked it the prisoner was not ill, as
soon as he saw him put to the bar.
Mr. Mor;lock said he was not. He always had the
same sallow look. Ile had been in the workhouse twelve
years, and wished to be lodged and clothed by the union,
with liberty to range the streets all day picking pockets,
under the pretext of looking for work. He had dis-
charged himself twenty•two times this year, and when
he was discharged at the weekly hoard, at his own re-
quest, this week, he was told he would not be re-ad-
mitted till the:next board day, notwithstanding which he
had returned already, and demanded admission. He,
therefore gave him into custody as a rogue and vagabond.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said there was no ground
for such a charge. Ile asked Boulter where he had been
seeking work?—The prisoner said, faintly, at the
docks.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL thought his eyes did not
deceive him. The poor fellow was too ill to work in
the docks. They would'not employ such a man.
Mr. Mortlock said he was not ill. He had been twice
committed for misconduct in the workhouse, and muse
press for his committal again.
Sir CIIAPHAN MARSHALL said, stay : let me see.
Young man, are you iil or not ?
The poor fellow a'tempted to speak, but sunk in a
swoon from exhaustion or illue,s.
Sir CHAPALA:sr insistel that he should be immediately
re-admitted to the workhouse, and taken proper care of.
BOW-STREET.
A countryman. named George White, was charged
with obstructing the footway in Covent garden Market.
A gentleman, who did not give his name, attended to
watch the cast, for the primer, as he consPered that he
bad been roughly used by the police.
F 140 stated that, at half-past one o'clock, he saw
the prisoner in an excited state in the market, and he
refused to go away; he then took him into custody. He
was very abusive to witness.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was sorry for
what had occurred. He would have gone away, but the
policeman handled him roughly.
Mr. JARDINE said he deserved to be roughly handled
for his insolence. He ought to have gone away at once,
when ordered. He had rendered himself liable to a
penalty of 40s. by his misconduct, which, however, he
should not inflict, as he said he was sorry.
Gentleman—lf you had, I should have paid it.
Mr. JARDINE—You have no right to interfere.
The gentleman said he considered gross injustice
had been done, and the police were guilty of perjury.
Mr. JARDINE—If you interfere again, I shall order
you to be put out of the room.
Gentleman—l can go out without being put out.
Mr. JARDINE (to the prisoner)—I shall order you to
be discharged at present ; but I caution you against
being found there again.
In the middle of Mr. Jardine's address to the prisoner,
the gentleman stepped up to the latter and handed him,
apparently, a sovereign, as he said, to compensate him
for his ill-treatment.
Mr. JARDINE—How dare you, Sir, interfere when I
am addressing a prisoner ? our conduct is most nn- ,
warrantable. To the usher—Put that person out of the
Court.
The gentleman said he would save the usher the
trouble of using force, and walked out, saying as he went,
I shall indict the constables fur perjury.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Messrs. Perry and Lance, who carry on the trade of
pawnbrokers in Wardour-street, were summoned before
Mr. Hardwick, for having taken more than the legal
interest on a pledge.
The information was laid by Nl‘Cullem, who brought
forward an approver of the name of Johnson, and who
stated in evidence that ho pawned a shirt belonging to
Id‘Cullem at the defendant's shop for 45., and after al-
tliAQ'' AO' :amnia— pledge for one month, he went to

th, instead of the sum charged.
Now as there was ne.' oin of the realm which repre-
n

sented the tenth of a penny, he had filled in his inform-
ation as " taking one half of a farthing more than the
legal interest." _

Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the defence, said
there was, from the informer's own stateme t, an error
in the information, as one-tenth of a peony was the
sum stated to be overcharged, and one-eighth was the
amount put in the information.
M'Cullem, in reply, stated alit the magistrates of
Bow-streekhad ruled that half a farthing might be`put in
under the circumstances, and also that the Court of
Queen's Bench had decided that pawnbrokers were not
entitled to take a penny for a month's interest on is.
He further said that he acted for the good of the poor,
and not for his own interest.
Mr. HARDWICK—I dismiss the information.
M'Cullem—Will your worship tell me your reasons
for dismissing the information?
Mr. HARDWICK—I do not think it necessary for me
to give my reasons. I state my reasons when I think
such a course is requisite, but in this case I do not think
it is necessary to give a reason.
A second information, on the same grounds, ,was dis •
missed without being heard.

WORSHIP-STREET.
George Bilbrough, a middle-aged and well-dressed
man, was charged by Mr. Edward Green, a coal-mer-
chant in the City-road, under the following circum-
stances :—lt appeared that the defendant had been in
Mr. Green's employment for the last twelve months at a
salary of 30s. a week, during which time he had col-
lected various sums of money for his employer, which it
was his duty to pay over daily. About a week since,
Mr. Green discharged him, and upon looking over his
books, and making inquiries, ho discovered defalcations
to the amount of 3001., which the prisoner had received
from customers without rendering any account whatever.
The prisoner having admitted his guilt to a policeman,
and three cases having been clearly proved against him,
he was remanded for a week, in order that further proofs
might be brought forward.

SOUTHWARK.
Albert Carl, a gentleman, native of Prussia, was
charged with having attempted to jump overboard, on
his passage from Hamburgh.
Captain iStrannack, of the John Bull steam-vessel,
stated that the young man, on the voyage, showed symp-
toms of insanity by deliberately proceeding to undress,
and would have thrown himself overboard into the sea, if
he had not been prevented in time, by his orders. On
the vessel arriving in the river Thames he again made
the attempt, and was a second time prevented. The
young man was a perfect stranger to him, and he only
knew him by his passport. The Prussian Consul, to
whom he had applied, had told him he must dispose of
him as well as he could, having brought him out. He
now solicited the magistrate's advice.
The Magistrate said he could afford him no help, the
person having committed no offence. As the young man
laboured under mental derangement, and was a foreigner,
the captain was bound to take him back to Hamburgh,
unless the Prussian Consul undertook the task. As a
Magistrate he could not send him to any poor-house, as
he could claim no parish in this country. If the captain
had permitted the young man to land at the Tower with
the other passengers, he would not have been troubled
with the case; and if the captain now allowed him to go
at large, with a knowledge of his insanity, the respon-
sibility upon him would be heavy for any act the person
might commit. -
Captain Strannack said that in Hamburgh a foreigner,
under such circumstances, would be differeitly treated.
The States would order him into an asylum till he should
be ready to be returned to his native country. He com-
plained of the great hardship he was placed under.
The Magistrate, expressed his regret, and Captain
Strannack then left the court, accompanied by the alleged
insane person, who showed no symptoms of a distem-
pered mind.

S

W-4NDSWORTH.
Mr. James Chapman Butcher, of the High-street,
Wandsworth, pawnbroker, attended, upon an adjourned
summons, charging him, under the. Police Act, with
exposing goods for sale on the foot-pavement in front of
bis shop, and thus creating an obstruction.
The summons was taken out by Mr. Robert Newans,
living next door to the defendant.
Mr. Clarke appeared for the complainant, and said his
client's business, as baker and confectioner, had much
deteriorated, in consequence of the defendant's placing
furniture, hardware, and other articles on the pavement
to the depth of six or seven feet, the consequence of
which was, his shop was shut out from view, and many
ladies would not inconvenience themselves by pushing
past a lot of furniture to get to the shop. Mr. Newt ns
had complained to the defendant in a friendly way, but
the nuisance, instead of being dimini,hed, was increased.
Mr. Butcher objected to the form of the summons,
but this was overrnled. He then contended that the
ground on which the goods were placed was his own
private property, and therefore he had a right to 02-
CUpy

Mr. CLIVE said a portion of the pavement might be
the defendant's property, and might have been enclosed
formerly, but it was now open, and there was no doubt
that the public had a right of way over the whole of ir.
Therefore, by exposing these goods for sale, he had com-
mitted an obstruction, for which he would pay 40s. and
costs, or go to prison for a month.
The defendant at first 'said he would go topris,n,
but he afterwards paid the money, at the same time de-
claring it was the vilest cowpiracy ever concocted.
Mr. CLIVE recommended the defendants not to use
such harsh words in the at4,.ence of all proof.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER' OF A
POLICE-CONSTABLE IN ESSEX.
A. most myLterious murder, attended with circum-
ances of grelt brutality, was committed Within the
ast few days, in a firm near Dagenham, in Essex. A
young man, named George Clarke, of the IC division of
the metropolitan police, No. 113, who had been lately
Irafted from Mile•end to Dagenham, went out to his
beat at three o'clock or. Tuesday morning. Not return-
ing rt the usual time, cansiderable alarm was occasioned,
which increased with every hour of his absence. At
length, about half-past eight o'clock, on Friday even.
ing, the body of the deceased was found in a corn field
belonging to Mr. Co at East Brook-end, Dagenham,
in a state of decomposition. About twelve yards from
the corps, his truncheon was discovered concealed in a
hedge, and his cutlass, which was all smeared with
blood, and which doubtless was used in dispatching him,
was found about six yards distant. The motive of the
murder is at present hidden in the deepest mystery.
Had he fallen in with midnight marauders, they would
doubtless have added robbery to murder, but such was
not the case, for his watch was found safe in his fob,
and there was 14s. ld. untouched in his purse ; his
hat is the only article missing.. The corn for several
yards round the body was all trampled down, showing
that a dreadful struggle had taken place. The corpse
was removed to an empty house, where it was examined
by the medical gentleman who attends Mrs. Collins's
family, and who found it dreadfully mangled. There
were no less than seven wounds, five of which were so
serious that any one of them Must have proved fatal.
In addition to this he must have received a heavy blow
from some blunt instrument, as his left eye was nearly
forced out of the socket. Every effort is being made to
;et some clue to the murderers. The deceased, who was
a fine younc, man, twenty-one years of age,• was a native
of Bedfordshire, and had not been above eight or ten
months in the force.

THE INQUEST.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. C. C. Lewis, one of the
Coroners for the county of Essex, and a respectable
jury, assembled at the village of Dagenham, for the pur-
nose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the
death of the unfortunate man, of whose brutal murder
the subjoined evidence leaves no clout. On the jury
being duly empannellerl, they proceeded to view the re-
mains of the deceased. They laid in an uninhabited
houie about a quarter of a mile distant from where the
jury met. The body was in a high state of decomposi-
tion, and the frightful mutilation of the head showed the
brutal violence that had been used. This painful cere-
mony being gone through, the following witnesses were
called

,mas Kimpton, police constable K 350, said the de-
ceased belonged to the same division as himself, and was
about 20 years of age; he was stationed at Dagenham.
On Monday evening, at nine o'clock I fast saw him alive,
when we left the station to go on duty; the deceased
proceeded on his beat towards Romford, and that was
the last I saw of him. Between two and three o'clock
on the following (Tuesday) morning it was his duty to
have met me at the cross-roads to take on reports to
a village called Chadwell, on the road to Ilford. On my
arrival at the cross-roads I was surprised at not finding
him,and I called his name and hallooed, but it was of no
avail, he was nowhere to be found. On going off duty,
I necessarily reported the circumstance, and the absence
of the deceased. The neighbouring ponds then, on the
same day—an impression being entertained that he
might have accidentally fallen in, were dragged—with
no better success; the search was continued until between
seven and eight o'clock on Friday evening, when, on
going through a corn-field belonging to Mr. Collier, near
Dagenham, I discovered a staff (the one produced).
Meeting with such a discovery, we renewed the search
in the same track, and at abut half-way up the field
bank a short distance from where the staff laid, saw the
deceased's cutlass sticking in the hedge, covered with
blood from the hilt to the point. (The weapon was pro-
duced and fully corroborated the evidence of the:witness.)
Six yards from the cutlass the body of the deceased was
discovered lying in the corn, and near the verge of the
field, rot more than three yards from the ditch. His left

By the Coroner—Daring the month of March last I
was on the same beat as the deceased, when I met a man
named William Walker, a marine store-dealer, residing
at Romford. He was carrying a sack, and I asked him
what it contained. He replied, "It was no business of
mine. I proceed to take hold of him to inspect the sack,
when he dropped it, disentangled himself from me and
ran away, at the same time remarking, "That he would
do for me some day." As to finding the body, he de-
posed to the same facts as the first witness.
William Parsons, police-sergeent, K division, stated
that he placed deceased on duty last Monday, and met
him, on going his rounds at one o'clock on the following
morning, at the cross-roads. At that period he seemed
perfectly collected, and to his questions gave satifactory
an3wers. At three o'clock he again went to the cross
roads, but could not see the deceased. On the body
being found, he discovered a rattle in the deceased's coat
pocket. There was a large wound on the back of the
head, a cut on the right of the head, and a stab on the
right shoulder. Did not examine the stock then
minutely. He had since more carefully inspected it, and
had traced two corresponding cuts with those in the
throat. In two places the stock was severed. The de-
mised appeared to have been dead some time. To ap-
pearance he had had a severe scuffle. Near where the
