TATTERSALL'S—T.EsTERDAv.
Although the settling was universally complained of as
one of the most unsatisfactory ever known at the close of a

event of the coming year, and we are enabled to submit a
very respectable list of market prices :

THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION.
ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, Nov. I.—Since our last ac-
count of this most melancholy accident workmen have
been constantly employed in clearing away the fallen
walls, broken machinery, burning cotton, &c. ; 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 with much interest, especially by the menu.
facturers in 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, from the " fish-mouth "
to the extreme end of the boiler, is 2 feet 6 inches in
diameter; the boiler, from end to end, is 25 feet 3 inches;
and in diameter, 6 feet 6 inches. Since the occurrence
many scientific gentlemen from different parts of the
country have been to view the ruins, &c.
The last sad rites were performed, on Sunday evening,
over the unfortunate mau Fitton and his daughter, at
the parish; church, Ashton, amidst thousands of specta-
tors ; and over the young woman, Margaret Fitzgerald,
at the Roman Catholic chapel, Dukinfield.

.FFECTS OF SUPERSTITION. Yesterday Mr.
Payne held an inquest at the Woolpack Inn, Minories, on
the body of Mary %Volley, aged 42. It appeared that de-
ceased was living 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.fortune-teller,
who told her that 30Mn perron in the hon2e had stolen
the money. She, in consequence, aemised the deceased
of the robLery. The charge had such effect upon her
mind, that on Friday night she was found suspended by a handkerchief to the bedpost. Verdict, " Temporary I,assuity."

FALMOUTH, Nov. 2.—The Seagull packet, Lieutenant
sicken, arrived last night with the Brazil mails. Her
