THE EXPLOSION at the WALKER

IRON-WORKS.

NE WCASTLE -ON-TYNE, Til ÜBSDA Y.-The inquest on
the bodies of the three unfortunate men who were killed
at Walker Iron-works, under circumstances already par-
tially described, was resumed this afternoon before Mr.
Reed, coroner, at Walker, The names of the deceased
are, Daniel Davies, Robert Spearman, and Robert
Rogers. The extraordinary nature of the explosion, and
the singular character of the assigned cause of it, in.
vested the proceedings with considerable interest. The
following witnesses were examined :
William Short said—l am the foreman of the black-
smiths at the Walker Iron-works. At about half-past
seven o'clock last Monday night I was going through
the works, when I was told two persons were suffocated.
I received directions from Henry Staward, another fire-
man, to proceed to the regulator, and take off the man-
hole door, in order to get in and plug up a four-inch
pipe, through which the blast was supposed to be es-
caping. Rogers accompanied me, and while he was
unscrewing one bolt I unscrewed another. Before the
man-hole door was opened, I saw a man named Thomas
Chalmers approaching with a lamp, when I told him to
stand back. I had no particular reason for telling him
to stand back, but I thought it was safer. The wind
was blowing very fresh from the north, and Chalmers
was to the windward of the regulator. After the
man-hole door was open nothing took place for
from three to five minutes. Rogers and I were stand-
' ing close to and in front of "the man-hole. I said to
Rogers, " Now, go in, and I'll follow you." But he
stood a minute or so waiting for Staward bringing the
plug ; and in that interval I heard a heavy blast, and a
rush of wind come from the main pipe, and a tremen.
dons explosion took place, when I was knocked down
senseless. I don't think the explosion was caused by
the lamp. The air engine that forces the blast along
the pipe was standing at the time. I cannot account for
the explosion by anything I saw. Rogers was killed,
and I received considerable injury.

Henry Staward said, I am the head millwright at the
Walker Iron. works. I was at home on Monday night
about half-past seven o'clock, when I received word that
.a gas pipe was on fire, and that I was to go down and
get the engine stopped. I went down to the works, and
found that a lead gas pipe had been melted by the hot
ashes blown up by an escape blast. I cut the pipe off,
and then gave orders to Rogers and Short to go and
plug the hole of the blast pipe in the receiver. The
pipe from which the blast escaped was a branch pipe
from the main blast pipe, and the end of it went under a
puddling furnace among the ashes. The ashes being
hot had heated the branch pipe to a red heat. The
heated air in the branch pipe would go into the main
pipe, and thence into the receiver, and as soon as the
man-hole door was opened the atmospheric air would
rush in and convert the heated air into an explosive
mixture, which might have ignited at the heated pipe.
There was no way of getting at the pipe to plug it but
by entering the receiver. I have been in it several
times when there had been leaks in the pipes, and I
never apprehended any danger.
Mr. Bell said, I am a proprietor of the Walker Iron-
works. About half-past 6 o'clock on Monday evening
last it was discovered that a man named David Davies
and a boy named Robert Spearman were suffocated in a
privy constructed for the use of the workmen. It was
after very considerable difficulty and great exposure to
danger that the bodies of the unfortunate persons were
extricated. They were conveyed to the surgery, where
everything was done to endeavour to restore life, but in
vain. To prevent, if possible, the occurrence of any
further accident, immediate measures were taken by our
men to ascertain the cause of such an unlooked-for dis
aster, with a view to its prompt removal. It was then
ascertained that from some cause or other a joint of au
underground pipe, of about four inches in diameter,
communicating with the main blast pipe, which is P bout
three feet in diameter, had been leaking, and that it was
the occasion of a loss of blast to a certain extent, which,
making its way under ground to the ash pits of some
puddling furnaces, had caused an increased combustion
of ashes, that might have for some time lying under the
fire bars. The heat thus generated had heated through
the lining of the ash pits, and had communicated igni-
tion to a small stratum of ashes in which the pavement
is laid, as well as to a minute quantity of ashes which
had got accidentally mixed with coal in the
stirring of the furnaces in question. The carbonic
oxide and carbonic acid thus formed had found
vent by penetrating towards the privy, and
caused the death of Davies and Spearman. There can be
no doubt it suffocated them, as their bodies presented all
the usual appearances of asphyxia. The blast engine
being stopped, an endeavour was made to separate the
four-inch pipe alluded to from the main blast pipe; but
that being found impossible or difficult to do, it was de-
termined to proceed to the reservoir, or regulator, as it
is termed, which is a cylindrical iron vessel, 20 feet long '
and 66 feet in diameter, in which, by opening the man-
hole
door, access could be gained to the main pipe, the
stopping up of which would prevent the possibility of
any blast reaching the puddling furnaces or the privy.
The man-hole door having been removed, William Short,
the head smith of the establishment, and an intelligent
man, smelt foul air, and desired one of his assistants,
who had a lamp with him, to keep at some distance from
the opening. In about three minutes, and while Short
and Rogers were standing close to the regulator, Short
heard a rushing noise in the blast pipe, and the explo-
sion took place instantly afterwards. Short was thrown
down, and Rogers, who was standing immediately oppo-
site the man-hole, was blown over a wall behind him,
in such a manner, that, to have reached the place where
he was taken: up, the unfortunate man must have
mounted many yards into the air. Rogers was so
blast sadly mutilated that his death must bye been in-
stantaneous. The explosion filling the main pipe,
was conducted by it to a supplementary blowing engine,
of . ,
one part of which it shattered to pieces,
and
°nt% uofrt theen
fragments struck a young man of the name I
and broke his arm, while another fragment took a con-
trary direction, and struck a man of the name of Dyson,
and fractured his leg. Next morning, on going to the
scene of the accident, it was surprising to find how com-
plete the destruction of the receiver was, for of it not a
tenth remained in its seat, though it had been very
strongly laid down. One large piece of it was thrown over
the offices, all the windows of which were broken out.
Another was projected so high in the air that in falling
on some railing 130 yards distant it was impaled. A
third portion was found on the top of the inn, 200 yards
distant, and at an elevation of 20 yards above its original
level. Many yards of the blast pipe were torn like paper,
and fragments of it and of the regulator were tonne: in
various directions of the works. I believe the cause of
the uoident was this ;—As soon as the man-hole door was

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, OCT. 15.—The Cork Examiner, received in
town this afternoon, gives accounts of the deaths of four
men from starvation. Two had died at Castlehaven, one
in Macroom, and another in Skibbereen. The Board of
Works have authorised a considerable number of the
presentments lately made in that county ; but from its
great extent, and the density of its population, com-
paratively little relief has been afforded to the poor.
However, the Board appears now to be getting on with
more effect, already it is said they have 20,000 men at
work in various par is of the country. With the excep-
tion of Cork, the reports from the other counties are not
so gloomy as they have hitherto been. The following
letters are from the Cork Examiner, and the writers of
which express themselves warmly. The death of a
human being from starvation is a deplorable event, one
which invariably excites general sympathy, but after all
we should not regard these as indicative of the fate of
any considerable number of the population. The exer-
tions made are likely to be attended with success, at
least, near all large toe ns where food can be purchased.
The cry now is for food to purchase. The scarcity in
many districts is occasioned by the want of mills to grind
the wheat and oats, which are tolerably abundant.
DEATHS FROM STARVATION.
CASTLEUAVEN.—In the locality of Dereleigh an in-
stance of death from want has taken place. The victim
was a poor man, name unknown, who had been at work
all day on a new line of road. On reaching his miser-
able home in the evening, he was seized with illness
consequent on his want o food, a morsel of which he
had not tasted that day. The Catholic clergyman, the
Rev. Mr. Mulcahy, was sent for, but on his arrival death
bad ended the sufferings of the miserable victim of want,
In the same neighbourhood another death of another
poor man took place from a similar cause. General ap-
prehensions are entertained, that if something effectual
be not done before Christmas, the consequences must
indeed be alarming in the extreme. In the parish of
Dereleigh Indian meal is sold at the rate of from 15..6d.
to ls. 10d. per stone. The great majority of the popu-
lation are totally unemployed, and the wages of labour
of those who succeed in procuring work are totally in-
adequate to the purchase of food for families, which
average in number at least six, in many cases nine and
ten. The population heretofore derived a subsistence
from fishing, but circumstances and the elements hare
combined against them, and for the reason they have,
taken scarcely any fish. The respected Catholic clergy-
man of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Mulcahy, notices the
absence from divine service on Sundays of a large num-
ber of his flock. He can only attribute this to their
want of clothing, all their raiment being pledged or
disposed of for the sake of feeding their famishing
families.
MAenooat. —An unfortunate labourer, having
struggled against poverty, destitution, and famine so
long as any resource had been left, was proceeding on
Thursday last to the Maeroom Workhouse, when death,
as if in pity, assailed him on the road, and put a period
to his earthly sufferings. Upwards of eight hundred
starving creatures daily receive a breakfast at the work-
house, which amongst the great majority is their only
sustenance.
SKIBBEREEN, OCT. 12.—1 send you a copy of the
minutes of evidence taken on an inquest held in Skib•
bereen court house yesterdar, on the body of a poor
man, named Jeremiah Hegarty, who resided on the
townland of Licknafon, near Skibbereen, and who was
found dead on Sunday morning last, at a short distance
from the town. The evidence elicited on the inquest
renders it unnecessary for me to add one word on the
frightful distress which has prevailed in this locality,
and indeed in all Carbery. Suffice it to say, that the
condition of poor Hegarty, who died of starvation, and
his sorrowing but half-starved son-in-law, Driscoll,
was better than that of thousands of his neighbours ;
for Driscoll is a small farmer in Carbery, he had a little
barley, which he was baking privately out of the stack,
and using, although Curly Buckley, the driver of Do
Courcey O'Grady, had put a cross and keepers on
it. There is general dissatisfaction here at the
conduct of the Government, and the universal
feeling here is, which I hope you will express through
your journal, that Lord John Russell is unfit for the pre-
sent emergency, and that Sir Robert Peel should be
again restored to power. We have the name of a Board
of Works, who have not yet given half the necessary
employment, and the poormen whom they have employed
are unable to work for want of food, in consequence of
the irregularity of the payments—they are often nine
and ten days, and sometimes a fortnight, without receiv-
their wages. The Relief Committee of Skibbereen have
frequently represented to the Board of Works the neces-
sity of more frequent and more punctual payments, but
their representation has not been attended to. Though
Indian meal is now one shilling and tenpence per stone,
the labourer on the public works is not able to earn
eightpence per day regularly. We have the name of a
depot in Skibbereen, and a commissary officer to take
care of it, but it might as well be in Kamschatka, for
though he has a good supply of provision in store yet wo
cannot get an ounce of it in Skibbereen, although the
poor people are fainting on the streets for want of food.
It is really most affecting to see the poor labourers, who
are on the streets breaking stones, trying to work, but
unable to do so, and occasionally asking the passers-by
for a penny to buy a little bread. Many have been
obliged to give up the work, from weakness and exhaus-
tion. We want more work to employ the people. We
want more frequent payments, daily if possible, twice a
week at least; we want higher wages for the labourers,
and we want a sufficient supply of provisions to sell out
at a reasonable price, a price proportioned to a man's
wages, so that a labourer may be enabled to purchase as
much food, as would be sufficient to support him. If
we do not get those the poor people must starve. The
minutes of testimony which give the details of the case
1 related in the preceding letrer shall be given in our next.
CROOKIIAVEN, OCT. 12.—What a deplorable state of
things ! A noble peasantry are famishing ! A con-
tinued parade of their patience, even to the agony of
fainting, is kept up every day before a Relief Committee,
powerless as themselves, for the purposes of relief. Good
God ! how long shall this continue ? Oh, shame on it.
All cry out for a sufficient staff to open works for relief,
or else be prepared, and that speedily, for unheard-of
scenes. Let these committees be either enabled to re-
lieve, by giving employment, or, for God's sake, relieve
them from a pressure they cannot stand longer ; for this
feeling is come upon every member of them, from seeing
the vast crowds that beset continually their private houses
as well as the committee-rooms--every one crying out in
paroxysms of hunger, protesting to Heaven that they
have not tasted food since yesterday morning, and that
they have not a penny to purchase food,, even though it
were to save them from death. Next to the religious
feeling, the confidence of these distressed men in the
benign intentions of the Government has had the effect of

APPREHENSION OF JOHN PERRY, THE PUGILIST.
—NEWBURY, OCT. 15.—This morning, or rather in the
middle of the night, between the hours of twelve and one
o'clock, Police Superintendent Shepherd, of the Win-
chester force, accompanied by Superintendent Van San-
ten, of the Andover borough force, apprehended the
above-named well-known character at • Speenhamland,
Newbury, on a warrant issued by the city magistrates of
Winchester, backed by other magistrates, charged with
uttering a 201. note, purporting to be of the firm of the
University Bank, Oxford, to a Mr. Flight, a tailor, of
Winchester. It appears, Perry went to Mr. Flight's
shop, and ordered a suit of clothes, for which, when
done, he paid with this forged 201. note, receiving in ef-•
change the balance in sterling money. Mr. Flight paid

rumoured in Edinburgh that the vacancy in this office,
caused by the death of Dr. Bennie, will not be filled up;
in fact, that the office is to be abolished, and the salary

Criticism in the University of Edinburgh.
FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS.—At
Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire, on Thursday, .
Thomas Shirley, a young man of that place, was killed i
in a fight by his brother. It appears that Thomas anat.'.
John Shirley, sons of a labourer, were, with two come
panions, drinking late on Wednesday night. They
quarrelled about some gin, and a fight ensued. They
fought near the village pound for about an hour and a
half, and about seventy rounds, when Thomas, the elder
brother, fell, and on being taken to his father's cottage,
he was found to be dead,
