dentally omitted from the list of Members at the Speak'

LIE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT BLUE no,
NEAR ROCIIDALE.—MANCHLSTRR, FRIDAY.—The ad'
journrd ugliest has been held respecting the deaths of
tour )Ding men, who u ere killed by the explosion of 6
steam boiler, the particulars of which have already bee°
publishf.d. Mr, Nasinyth, of Patrierott, gave it as his
opinion that the boiler had had too much pressure.. It
appearo by other evidence, that when the explosion
took place the guage was at 14 inches ; it had usually
been worked at 18 inches pressure. Mr. Robert Wilk"
son, engineer, at the Lowmoor Company, near Bred"
ford, where the engine was made, said that the engli.i°
when made was not intended to work at more than 01,
inches pressure. In 1843 the boiler was repaired, so°,,
two siitys put in it, and of late it had been worked n
18 inches pressure; and previous to the stay being placed
it had been worked at 12 inches pressure. There wall
no evidence to show that Mr. Walker, or the manager
of the mill, were at all implicated, but that the manage'
merit of the engine had been left to the engineer, wh°
was one of the four men killed. He had been engineer
about six months, at 14s. per week wages. He lied
been fireman twelve months previous to that. The fire'
man had had his situation' only three weeks, at 10s. Per
week wa2es. The jury returned the following verdict:--"
" That William Wild and the others came to their death
by the bursting of a steam boiler, the stays of which
were insecure; and it is the opinion of the jury that two
•of the cotters were out at the time of the explosion. The
jury are also of opinion, that the boiler was never le'
tended to sustain the pressure to which it had been sub'
jetted for some time back."

THE CONVICT ESTABLISMMENTS.—The Secretor,'
of State for the Home Department has issued an order
to the overseers of the various convict establishmentst
that a certain number of convicts are to be kept in front
the works every day for the purpose of attending school*
Fifty will thus attend every day in the Royal Anima'
and a similar number, in proportion to the whole body
of prisons rs, in the other establishment. The Scripture
readers are to assist the schoolmaster in his labours;
for which their salaries are increased from 801 to 90.4
per annum. In consequence of the many serious acct'
dents which have happened to the Juatitia convict AV;
by fragments of guns, burst during proof at the batty
having alighted on the deck of that vessel, the authoritle4
have at length ordered the vessel to be removed to tl,l°
distance of WO yards from her present position. Worm'
men are employed cutting a channel in the mud for 80
removal of the vessel.
