THE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT BLUE Prri'
NEAR ROCHDALE.—MANCIIESTRR, FRIDAY.—The
journed inquest has been held respecting the deaths 0'
four young men, who were killed by the explosion of
steam boiler, the particulars of which have already bee'
published. Mr. Nasmyth, of Patricroft, gave it as hilt
opinion that the boiler had had too much pressure. 1'
appeared by other evidence, that when the explosloll
took place the guage was at 14 inches ; it had usue!s/
been worked at 18 inches pressure. Mr. Robert Wall:
son, engineer, at the Lowmoor Company, near 131110
ford, where the engine was made, said that the engl°l
when made was not intended to work at more than 611
inches pressure. In 1843 the boiler was repaired, an
two stays put in it, and of late it had been worked
_A
18 inches pressure; and previous to the stay being plo°7.
it had been worked at 12 inches pressure. There AN
no evidence to show that Mr. Walker, or the manage
of the mill, were at all implicated, but that the mange•
ment of the engine had been left to the engineer, who
was one of the four men killed. Ile had been engingel
about six months, at 14s. per week wages. He hots
been fireman twelve months previous to that. The fire"
man had had his situation only three weeks, at 103. Pe'
week waves. The jury returned the following verdict;.-
" That William Wild and the others came to their destb!
by the bursting of a steam boiler,. the stays of wive"
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 Iv
tended to sustain the pressure to which it had been rib.
jetted for some time back."

THE CONVICT ESTABLISHMENTS.--The SeMari
of State for the Home Department has issued an order
to the overseers of the various convict establishment"
that a certain number of convicts are to be kept in frora
the works every day for the purpose of attending school.
Fifty will thus attend every day in the Royal Arsenal'
and a similar number, in proportion to the whole bodi
of prison: rs, in the other establishment. The Scriptur•
readers are to assist the schoolmaster in his labour.;
for which their salaries are increased from 80L to 90'
per annum. In consequence of the many serious
dents which have happened to the Justitia convict ship'
by fragments of guns, burst during proof at the but,
having alighted on the deck of that vessel, the authorttn4
have at length ordered the vessel to be removed to lb°
distance of 100 yards from her present position.
men are employed cutting a channel in the mud for tb°
removal of the.vessel.
