IM OPEN! I'M OPEN!"
A SONG OF TRIusM un FROM THE NEW ES-
TABLISHENT.
I'm open ! I'm open, in all my display 1
The glory of trade and the pride of my day.
I'm open in vastness, and splendour, and none
Can equal the warehouse of MOSES and SON.
Say, 3m who have seen me triumphantly rise,
If I mov'd not your hearts with a thrill of surprise,
Say, say what you thought, when hi wonder you cast
Your eyes on my building— so costly, co vast !
And sey what you thought when you heard the glad shout
In honour of MOSSS, within and without.
Proclaim my vast triumphs wherever you go
That others may see, and that others may know.
Pm open ! I'm open ! but net to delude
With empty attractions and vain magnitude.
I'm open to publish what wonders are done
Ay the dauntless projectors, E. 310,ES and SON.
My vastness of building is nought hut a proof
Of vast speculations beneath my wide roof.
The extent of my houses proclaims, you must know,
Extensive advantage to high and to low.
Bright prospects (if rightly observed) will appear
On the glittering globes of each bright chandelier.
On the pillars of marble, this truth is display'd :
" B. MOSES and SON are the pillars of trade."
The glasses which dsnble all objects reflected
Speak loudly of double advantage effected.
Ev'ry room which the monarch-like warehouse displays
Some hint of importance—some meaning conveys.
I'm open I I'm open ! well stor'd with attire,
Whose style and materials all will admire.
I'm open, with gutters, whose elegantnt taste
Has nothing defective and nothing plac'd.
I'm open to carry out MOSES' endeavour
In selling you articles cheaper than ever.
I:11; open to do more than ever I've done ;
rue open to honour B. MOSES and SON.
I'm open with cheapness, choice cloth, and choice cut,
And while such is the case, I shall never be 'hut.

make, feel it incumbent. on them to request the attention of the
public, iu purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genre
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Sen, submit the following
cautions:—biome are in appearance at first sight, `• the genuine," but
without ;same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " P.ureiss's ;" and many inure without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and eaniestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purehasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

COP Y of a hE'rTE from WILLIAM
COURTNEY, Esq.
To Mr. THOMAS PROM', 229, Strand, London.
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Dents, October 26, 1844.
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your rills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and alter I arose I lead severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your rills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these l'ills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.—) ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering huManity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of ninny of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rlietunatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, See. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking, the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.

DESTRUCTIVE ACCIDENT AT

THE ALBION MILLS.

On Thursday morning last, an accident, by which for-
tunately no personal injury was caused, occurred at the
Albion Mills, Gaythorn, which are now worked under
the inspectorship of Mr. Marsden, Mr. Glasgow, and
Mr. Peet, as inspectors for the estate of the late Mr.
Thomas Gough. About ten minutes before eight o'clock
that morning, the main upright shaft, in the second or
ground floor of the mill, broke in two at the neck, close
to the collar ; and the steam-engine being thus freed
from the whole weight of the machinery which it has to
keep in motion, the large fly-wheel, which is about seven
yards in diameter, began to revolve with immense velo-
city. The rim of this wheel consists of eight cast-iron
segments of a circle, each about eight or nine feet in
length, twelve inches broad, and six inches in thickness,
and .weighing about half a ton. These were firmly
bolted together, and stayed with very strong thick cast-
iron spokes. Such, however, was the velocity with
which this great bulk. and weight of iron was made to
revolve, that, by centrifugal force, the segments were
torn asunder, and thrown outwards with terrific force.
They tore an ay portions of the brickwork surrounding
the wheel ; and one of them was hurled upwards, and,
striking the main steam pipe in its course, broke it in
two, and thus fortunately cut off the source of motion.
It then passed through the stair window, a height of 16
or 18 feet from the floor, and fell outside in Trumpet-
street. Fortunately no one was passing at the time, or
this heavy projectile, stalking them, must have caused
instant death. Another of the segments struck a corner
of the wall which divides the engine-house from the
boiler-house, with such force that, although it is a four-
teen inch wall, of great solidity, it was rent in several
directions, and fissures are visible on the opposite side.
The other segments struck various parts of the engine
house, and made its interior a complete wreck. Two
cast-iron pillars, of considerable thickness, which sup-
port the engine, were both horizontally broken in two,
at different heights ; and the spring beam was also
broken. Some of the stone stairs, leading to the upper
part of the boiler-house, were torn from their setting,
and broken in pieces. No one was in the engine house
at the time ; the engineer having gone to zlele boiler-
house. Had he been in the engine-house, it is possible
that he might have shut off the steam, and so have pre-
vented the destructive consequences ; but, had he failed
to do this, and remained in the engine-house, he must
inevitable have been killed. With the exception of the
parts mentioned, it is not believed that the engine is
very materially injured ; but when we visited the place
the cylinder was still too hot to allow of internal ex imi-
nation. The main beam of the engine is not broken;
and the boiler is perfectly sound. It was fortunate that
there was a strong cross-beam between the middle and
upper floors of the engine-house, which supported the
supporting beam of the engine, otherwise, when the two
upright pillars were broken, the whole of that part of
the building must have fallen. It is stated that the
whole of the mischief, from the breaking of the shaft
to the stopping of the engine, was done in two minutes
or less. Of course, as soon as the steam-pipe was
broken, the engine diminished its speed of working, and
soon stopped altogether.
This untoward accident immediately brought the
whole of the operations of the mill to a close; and, till
the damage is repaired, which cannot be done in less
than a fortnight, or probably three weeks, upwards of
360 hands are thrown out of employment.
We have not been able to ascertain what was the
immediate cause of the breaking of the shaft. It is
nine inches in diameter, of east-iron, and we under-
stand that the shaft and boxing were put new into
the mill about four years ago. Mr. William Bowman
has examined the iron at the fracture, and he states
that it has every appearance of good sound iron.
The engine, which is of seventy-five horses' power, and
which was made by Messrs. Rothwell and Hick, of
Bolton, in 1817, was working as usual from six o'clock
in the morning, and there was nothing unusual observed
before the breaking of the shaft. The fracture shows a
bright and granular appearance ; so that there is no
reason to suppose that it was in part an old fracture ;
nor is there appearance, so far as we could see, of any
flaw in the metal. It has been suggested that if there
had been an extra governor, it would have instantly shut
off the steam on the weight of the machinery being re-
moved, and that the great mischief would then have
been prevented. It is at present impossible to ascertain
exactly the amount of damage done to the action parts
of the engine. The most remarkable thing, utider the
circumstances, and what strikes every one who has seen
the place,' is, that so much destruction of property
should have been the work of a few seconds, and that
not the slightest injury to limb or life should have been
caused by such a terrific outbreak of mechanical force.
On inquiry last evening, we learned that the interior
of the cylinder had not been examined ; but there was
no reason to anticipate that any damage had been sus-
tained by the engine beyond that noticed above. We
also learn that the engineer, at the moment when the
shaft broke, was in the fireplace, and, seeing the engine
working at so furious a rate, he dared not venture into
the engine-house, but ran into the boiler-house, and blew
off the steam; from which circumstance, combined with
the segment of the fly-wheel going through the window,
it was at first supposed in the neighbi urhood that it was
a boiler explosion.—Manclester Guardian.

DREADFUL AFFAIR at RUNCORN
On Tuesday, the 17th instant, a dreadful accident occurred
at the limeworks of Mr. John Tomkinson, the eminent con•
tractor, which are situated near the Pool, Runcorn. From
the best evidence obtained on the spot the misfortune hap-
pened under the following circumstances : William Edwards
had the entire management of the kilns, which are five in
number, they are each covered over by a large brick chim-
ney, commonly called " the funnel," which rises above the
head about 45 feet, and is constructed for the purpose of
carrying off the smoke and sulphur, to prevent annoyance to
the inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood. At the
bottom of the funnel every kiln has a doorway through
which it is supplied with stone and coke, and a stage or
platform connects all together. The manager lived at a
cottage in the yard, and was assisted by his son and
two youths. About four o'clock in the afternoon he went
into his house to tea, the centre kiln being on a red glow
with heat. He and the others had previously been
"firing up," and they left a barrowful of broken stones on
the stage at the doorway, ready to be added to the burn-
ing mass as soon as the fire had got through its pre-
sent covering. One of the youths, named John Car-
ruthers, was left on the stage, and Edwards desired him
not to do anything to the kiln •till he had finished tea.
Whilst he was sitting at it with his wife and family, his son,
who, as previously stated, worked on the premises, ran in to
say that, missing Carruthers from the stage, he called, and
received no answer, he went up, and found him burning in
the kiln; Edwards ran with a short ladder to deceased to
snatch him from the burning flames, the workpeople assist-
ing. In this humane act poor Edwards was unsuccessful,
for, grasping Carruthers with one hand, he tried to ascend the
ladder; but, himself being dreadfully burnt, the sulphur and
fumes overpowered him, and he fell with his dying burden
into the awful abyss. Assistance being now collected, prin-
cipally by the appalling screams of the awe-stricken specta-
tors, a man who worked at the soapery of Messrs. Johnson,
named Levi Knowles, generously volunteered to go down, by
having a rope fastened round his middle, and to tie the one
or other of the sufferers, and so by that means to have them
dragged out. He boldly sprang in, and a few seconds of
breathless anxiety elapsed before the signal was given
to haul up, but the flames had consumed the rope and
it snapped, the greatest difficulty being experienced to
get Knowles out alive. Richard Linaker, with a chain, at-
tempted then, but the sulphurous smoke and stench soon
caused him to become insensible. David Carruthers, father
of the youth John Carruthers, and foreman at Mr. Tornkin-
son's quarries called " the Duke's," at Runcorn, arrived, and
the scene, which before was dreadful, now became more so,
from the force required to prevent Carruthers from jumping
in headlong for the young man. All hope of getting either
of the sufferers out alive being now at an end, drags were
thrown in, and the remains of poor Edwards and the youth
Carruthers were pulled out, two scorched, blackened, lifeless
cinders. Knowles and Linaker still continued in a very pre-
carious state, but through the medical assistance of Mr.
Wilson, surgeon, who was early on the spot, and the kind-
ness of the neighbours, they partially recovered so as to be
able to get home with help. It is not known how Carru-
thers fell in, but it is generally supposed, whilst eating a lit-
tle meat while the two others were at tea, he must have sat
on the barrow, and either fallen asleep or the barrow cap-
sized. Edwards was a steady man, and had been in the em-
ploy of Mr. Tomkinson 22 years. He has left a widow and
numerous family.
On Thursday last an inquiry into the cause of the distress-
ing catastrophe was held before Mr. J. Caldwell, coroner of
Halton Fee, and after a patient investigation of the melan-
choly facts, the jury brought in a verdict of " Accidental
death from burning.
Mr. Tomkinson arrived at Runcorn on Friday, and marked
the manner he appreciated poor Edwards' faithful and long
servitude by sootking the widow's sorrows, and substantially
relieving her present distress. The Rev. James Cox, incum-
bent of Holy Trinity, has also with others been unremitting
intheir attention and kindness to the bereaved families.

THE NEAPOLITAN TARIFF
The following particulars are derived from a letter re.
ceived by a house in this town, dated Naples, March 12 :
"The question of the tariff is at last decided ; and yester
day the royal decree was made public.
" The following are the reductions in the tariff on textile
manufactures, as deduced from the amount of duty as stated
in Italian money :
" The duty on cotton yarns is reduced one-third.
" On cotton cloths, grey and white shirtings, &sc., the duty
is reduced about one-half.
" On printed cuttons the reduction of duty will amount to
about 6s. per piece, or one-half the existing duty.
"On mixed cotton and worsted goods, and on worsteds,
the reduction will amount to about ss. per piece.
" On silk goods, and goods mixed with silk, the duty will
be reduced one-third."
We are indebted to another letter for the following particu-
lars of the new duties on a few of the most important articles
of export from this country. As the duties were stated only
in Neapolitan measures and money, which are rather difficult
to reduce to English denominations, we may have made some
errors, and therefere give them both ways :
Prints (including handkerchiefs),Eo grani per square canna
(4d. per square yard).
Bleached cottons, 45 grani per canna (2id. per square
yard).
Plain linens, 100 grani per canna (sid. per square yard).
Figured linens, 110 grani per canna (sid. per square
yard).
Fustians, velveteens, &c., plain or striped, 170 grani per
canna (lid. per square yard).
Cotton twists, 17 ducats per cantar (3d. per lb.).
All the preceding duties are subject to a discount of 10 per
cent.—Manchester Guardian.
