one of the most unsatisfactory ever known at the close of a
season, there was no disinclination to speculate on the great
event of the coming year, and we are enabled to submit a

THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION.

ASATON-TJNDER-LYNE, Nov. I.—Since our last ac-
count of this most melancholy accident workmen hnve
been constantly employed in clearing away the fallen
walls, broken machinery, burning cotton, &o. ; and up
to last evening they had so far proceeded in removing
the rubbish as to leave no doubt in the minds of the
authorities that, contrary to general report, there was no
other person buried in the ruins. On Saturday Mr.
Fairbairn, civil engineer, arrived to make an investiga-
tion, and after examining the boiler, its position, &c.,
he made minute inquiries as to the safety valve, and•the
usual weight which was put upon it, the pressure at
which the boiler was worked, &c. He afterwards re-
turned to Manchester to prepare his report, which is
looked for
i with much interest, especially by the manu-
facturers n the town and neighbourhood. At a subse-
quent period of the day, Mr. J. Chaloner, by direction of
Mr. Fairburn, came from Manchester to take a sketch
of that part of the boiler usually termed the " fish-
mouth," this being the part from the supposed weakness
of which the explosion took place. Mr. Chaloner took
a very minute sketch of this part of the boiler, as also
of the position into which it was thrown, and now lies.
The exact dimensions of the boiler are--length of " fish-
mouth," 7 feet 11 inches ; flue, frozp, the fish-mouth"
to the extreme end of the boiler, is 2 feet 6 inches in
diameter; the boiler, from end to cart, is 25 feet 3 inches;
and in diameter, 6 feet 6 inches.. Since the occurrence
many scientific gentlemen fror, different parts of the
country have been to view die ruins, &c.
The last sad rites were pe'rformed, on Sunday evening,
over the unfortunate maa, Fitton and his daughter, at
the parish church, Ashron, amidst thousands of specta-
tors ; and over the y g woman, Margaret Fitzgerald,
at the Roman Catholi• c chapel, Dukinfield.

IFFECTS OF 'SUPERSTITION. -•-• Yesterday Mr.
Payne held an ing nest at the Woolpack Inn, Dlinories, on
the body of Mary -Wolley, aged 42. It appeared that de-
ceased was liviny, , in the Circus, Minories, with her hus-
band, who is a messenger in the Ordnance department
of the Tower. A short time ago an Irishwoman resid-
ing in the same house lost some money, when, not being
able to discover the thief, she called upon a foi tune-teller,
who told her tht some per Pen in the house had stolen
the money. Sh s, in consequence, accused the deceased
of the robbery- The charge had such effect upon her
mind, that o' Friday night she was found suspended by
a handkerctliq to the bedpost. verdict, " Temporary
Insanity."

HAMBURGH MAIL.
VIENNA, OCT. 19.—Authentic accounts from Monte-
nego say that the Vendika is on his way to Vienna ' - it
is stated that he arrived at Trieste, and is expected here
to-morrow or the next day.
With respect to the illness of the Grand-Duchess,
daughter of the Grand-Duckess Helen of Russia, there
are no hopes of her recovery. Her Highness is labour-
ing under pulmonary consumption, which is particu-
larly fatal in Vienna to some constitutions.

li appears that his Majesty the EmperOt• has resolved
to introduce oral proceedings in all civil causes. This
reformation is of immense importance to the hereditary
states, and will be hailed by all the inhabitants of the
empire as the beginning of a new era.
BERLIN, OCT. 22.—The Grand Duke Constantine,
who has been residing in this capital for some time,
and, as we learn, returns to St. Potersburgh at the latter
end of this month, is reported, in the higher circles, to
have been betrothed during his visit at Weimar to the
youngest daughter of the reigning Duke of Saxe Alten-
burg. His bride, the Princess Alexandra, was born on,
the 11th of July, 1830, consequently she is in her lith•
year.
VIENNA, OCT. 20.—The Society of the Trieste Lloyd
dispatches send a steamer, on the 26th of next month,
to Alexandria, there to wait for the arrival of the mail'
from Calcutta by the Red Sea, so that the central states
of Europe have now an opportunity of corresponding
with India. As Trieste is in constant correspondence
with Alexandria, this arrangement is very judicious,
and may tend to promote the hoped-for change in the
course of the Overland Mail.

NORRIEOPPING, OCT. 21.—Their Majesties arrived
here the evening before yesterday from Stockholm, by
way of Tulgarn, and were received with general enthu-
slam. The town was brilliantly illuminated ; the magis-
trates and the elders of the city received them at the
gates, and 50 young men on horseback, bearing torches,
conducted them to their apartments. The Queen Dow-
ager arrived soon afterwards. _

-Yesterday being the thirty-sixth anniversary of the
landing of the late King- in Sweden, a numerous depu-
tation waited on his Majesty, for permission to uncover
the fine statue of Charles John, which has been cast at
Munich, at the expense of the town. This permission
having been given, the ceremony took place with all the
pomp due to the memory of the deceased King.
BERLIN, OCT. 22.—The mission of the Duke Decazea
to Austria and Russia has met with some impediments,
the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburgh, as it is
said, having spoken very decidedly on a certain transac-
tion.

HANntrucu. OCT. 26.—A letter in the German Allge-
nwine Zeitung says :—" I can state to you, from a credi-
ble private letter from Rome, that the life of the Pope is
not safe. His Holiness has received many warnings,
and must make a virtue of necessity. His dinner is
served at eleven o'clock, and remains standing till one,
till it is cold ; it is then examined by a chemist, and
warmed on the dinner table over a spirit lamp. His '
cup of chocolate for breakfast is prepared by the Came-
rario in his immediate presence. When he goes to masa
he takes the host, the wine, and the water with him. At
a certain convent where he lately intended to administer
the Sacrament, he neither performed the ceremony, nor
took the usual refreshments. Such is the life of Pius
IX., the greatest benefactor of the Roman States."—
fiamburgh Papers, Oct. 27.

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AIM
EDINBURGH.—A contemporary states, that when the
line of rail is completed between Berwick and Newcastle
the journey from Edinburgh to London will be a matter
of fifteen or sixteen hours. It is questioned whether
the journey will be of such a duration by several hours.
By the present speed of the Great Western express trains
the distance between Edinburgh and London would be
traversed in about nine hours and five minutes ; and by
the speed of the London and North-Western express
trains in eleven hours. But both the broad and narrow
gauge companies have proved that the present speed of
their express trains can be considerably increased. 'The
working of the broad gauge engine called the " Great
Western" shows that with trains of 80 or 90 tons an

-
average express speed of fifty miles per-hour may. be
easily attained, and the recent private trip on the North-
Western line between Birmingham and Manchester, the
working of which was conclusive that with light passen-
ger trains the narrow gauge engine can run from Lon-
don
to Edinburgh in ten hours. There is reason to be- •
Here that some new narrow-gauge engines that have
lately been placed upon the North-Western line would,
with moderately heavy trains, accomplish the jdurney in :
less than ten hours. The mail from London to Liver-
pool
(203 miles) was about twenty-one hours an its
journey. The Great Western express train would tra- ;
vet to Edinburgh and back in two hours' less time. •
There is little doubt that a mail train will, upon the E
completion of the railways to Edinburgh., run the whole
journey between London and that city within ten hours

THE ARCHDUKE PALATINE. —We have great
satisfaction in copying the following paragraph: 7-
" Pesth, Oct. 22.—The Archduke Palatine is not dead,
as reported in the papers of yesterday. The medical .1
bulletin issued this day respecting the health of the
Archduke Palatine has eicited general joy, inasmuch as
it confirms the reports which were afloat yesterday of
the great improvement in the state of his health. Ills
Imperial Highness Archduke Charles, elder brother of
the Archduke Palatine, left his august brother this 1--
morning, which is considered as an evident indication of
the confidence with which the recovery of the Archthake
Palatine is anticipated. The Archduke Stephan is still
here, and many touching scenes are related which be- -
token the deep feeling of the young Prince at the sick
bed of his father. The bulletin states, 'His Imperial
Highness enjoyed groeaty e
s terday. He has
composure. sed
pqausiseetaud:
throughout the whole
very tranquil night, and his recovery proceeds gradually.
—Ofen, Oct. 22, nine o'clock, A.M.—H. WURTLE3I.' Ir`
Dr. Steinmspler, body physician to the Archduke `-t
Charles, set out with that Prince yesterday." ,'t

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN THE DORCHESTER TUN-
NEL.—On Wednesday last, soon after one o'clock, a
labourer, working in a portion of the tunnel forming for ;r
Southampton and Dorchester Railway, in the East Mag- ,;:i
dalen's Field, was walking on the iron rail at the moment $
a loaded waggon was approaching him, drawn by a
powerful horse, when the shoe of his left foot, which was
very defective, caught in the rail, and he fell with his
leg across the iron ; the wheel of the loaded waggon.
passed-obliquely up the poor fellow's leg from his heel •,,'/
to the calf, lacerating the flesh, and breaking the ler;
frightfully. He was picked up, but had fainted, an.d was conveyed in au insensible state to the South Hants ..; Infirmary, when it was found that amputation was in-
stantly necessary to have a chance of saving life. The
poor sufferer was warned in the morning, it being his
first engagement in the works, to be careful in walking t
on the metals (as the rails are called by the men) with 1.1
his bad shoes, and he had promised to be careful. The
poor fellow's leg was amputated.
OPENING OF AN HOWEPATHIC HOSPlTAE.—Yes-
terday the house No. 17, Hanover-square, was publicly fr:

aro upwards of 800 out-patients suffering under cbr9i., sKi
diseases at present on the books, besides a multiplicity
