favourably ' enough and will be among the first four at the

not good enough to win. Pillage, with 6st 81b, and BO
Martin, with sst 131 b, are not overburdened with weight,

FATAL EXPLOSION ON BOARD THE STRAY-sl.
.11'
EARL OF LIVERPOOL—An accident of a most appalling 04:
ratter, involving loss of life, happened on Saturday night
on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steams
ship Earl of Liverpool, Captain Finch master. Soots aftor,an'
had taken her departure from Great Yarmouth for Loua',
when nearly a head of Lowestoffe harbour, an explosion tt,
place, and at the same instant a body of steam issued fruit
the engine-room. Great alarm was naturally created, al
was half an hour before any means could be adopted to. i.siscV,
tain the cause of the accident, or the extent of the valsou.l.f.
William Watts, a stoker, and Henry Briggs, a carpenter;
were then discovered to have lost their lives by the unfortl;
nate' occurrence. Eventually the vessel was towed up
river, and arrived at Deptford in the course of Sunday.
inquest was last night held at Deptford on the bodies of tbs
deceased, when the evidence generally went to show that tro
fatality was purely accidental, and that no blame could
attached to any person. Edward Elliott, the chief engirleAl
in his evidence stated that it arose from the breaking of :d
side rod, which displacing the cross head, the latter cirri
over and tore the steam-pipe away. Previously the evg...,`°
had been working properly and well, at the ordinary
sure.—Verdict, " Accidental Death."
