ALARMING ExrLosloN.—Last evening an alarming
explosion of gas occurred in Church-street, Blackfriar's-
road, which was nearly attended with the most disastrous
consequences. During the early part of the day work
men had been employed repairing the pipes in the streets,
and considered everything perfectly safe. A little be-
fore five o'clock however, the inhabitants were alarmed
at hearing a noise resembling the discharge of a piece
of cannon, at the same time it was found that the brick-
work and partition under the parlour window of Mr.
Pallevirsa, in Church-street, were shattered, a portion
of the flooring lifted up, and several feet of the ceiling
destroyed. A number of workmen were sent by the gas
company, and were at a late hour last night engaged in
repairing the mains.
THE ST. PANCRAS VESTRY AND MR. MILLS.—At
a special meeting held yesterday evening of the commit-
tee, appointed at the last vestry meeting of St. Pancras,
to consider the course to be taken in reference to the
conduct of Mr. Mills, the deputy-coroner for Middlesex,
the following resolution was unanimously agreed to:—
" That in the opinion of this committee the conduct of
the deputy-coroner, in publishing an exparte statement
of the evidence given on the late inquiry into the death
of Joseph Woodward, pending the said inquiry, and in
which he was the presiding judge, accompanied with
observations derogatory to the vestry and directors of the
poor of this parish, was highly unbecoming; and that a
report be drawn up by the committee, recommending the
vestry to take proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench
to ascertain the opinion of that Court respecting such
conduct."

LORD ASHLEY.—The absence of this Noble Lord
from the recent meetings in Yorkshire and Lancashire,
to promote the ten hours factory agitation, has occa-
sioned some surprise in this part of the country, and
has not, we believe, been satisfactorily accounted for,
except that his Lordship is not willing to surrender his
own judgment to the dictation of much less cool-headed
men.—Leeds Mercury.
Our obituary this week contains the name of Mr.
J. P. Anderdon, of Farley-hill, near this town, a gen-
tleman whose courtesy, urbanity, and open-handed
charity had for many years endeared him to the sur-
rounding neighbourhood Mr. Anderdon had attained
the venerable age of 87 years, and the whole of his long
life had been distinguished by the virtues which adorn
the gentleman and the Christian. His loss will be
severely felt by the poor of the neighbourhood, this
townincluded, his munificence being annually extended
to many of our local charities.—Berkshire Chronicle.
A clever attempt was made on Saturday evening
by a well-dressed thief, to steal about 4001. worth of
plate, the property of Mr. Johnson, the late Lord Mayor
of London. One of Alderman Johnson's servants was
employed in loading a cab, at the private door of the
Mansion-house, with the goods of his master, and as soon
as a chest of plate was deposited on the driver's box a
man bustled into the vehicle suddenly and ordered the
driver to set off for the Brighton railroad as quickly as
possible. The cabman, supposing that the person who
gave him the order was duly authorised, began to turn
his horse round, but, luckily, one of the attendants at
the Mansion-house, aho was assisting in packing up the
goods, caught a glimpse of the cab, and called out to
the driver that there was something more for him to
carry. The thief inside immediately opened the door_o
with
at
the far side, upon being asked what he had to d
the property, and disappeared in a twinkling. Even the
most experienced officers of the police admitted
that
the
dexterity with which the experiment was made proved,
that the candidate for the plate was a
fellow of first-rate
genius.
