in cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental Inflammation, it
is pre-eminently successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Cont-
inent of Europe, together with the "elate" of the aristocracy, and
"haute volee."

Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
Spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co.) and that A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-
garden, are engraved (by authority) on the Government Stamp affixed
on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle. Sold by the
Proprietors, and try chemists and perfumers.

VE PERSONS POISONED.
LIVEEPOOL, FEB. 24.—The report which was current yesterday
of this dreadful catastrophe turns out, unfortunately, to be too true.
An inquest was held yesterday on the bodies of Jane Gilton, aged
17 ; her sister, Margaret Gilton, aged 16 ; and their brother, John
Gilton, aged 12 years. Two others of the same family had died pre-
viously to the three deceased, namely, on the 15th of the present
month the yourgest son, Edward Gilton, aged seven years, and on
the 17th, Mrs. Giltoa, the mother, widow of the late Mr. Gilton,
printin;-Ink and colour manufacturer. The business had for some
years past been carried on on the premises In West Derby. The
whole of the inmates of the house hid been mere or less ill for about
three weeks ; the eldest and yet surviving son (aged about 20) being
the least affected, he not having been so constantly at home as the
other members of the family. The female servant and a nurse were
also taken ill. The eldest son deposed to these facts, and stated
that about three weeks ago he was employed in making green
verditer, an article used by paper-stainers, and in colouring walls.
In this preparation there ryas a large quantity of arsenic. He
put the ingredients into a boiler in a shed at some distance behind,
and detached from the house. Between this shed and the
house there is a long building, which appears to have been formerly
a conservatory or greenhouse, but had been converted into what is
now called " the colour-house." In one division or compartment of
the colour-house —that nearest to the shed— there was a well with
a pump on one side of it. The well is about four yards deep, and con-
tains about two yards in depth of water. This well has also a pipe
communicating with a pump in the back kitchen, from which the
water is taken for domestic purposes. It appeared that, after the el-
dest son had made that part of the preparation Containing the arsenic,
it had to be ladled into a bucket, carried into the colour-house, awl
there put into a tub to cool. This was carefully dons by a labourer
who was employed on the premises. After being' cooled, and the
other ingredients added, the liquid on the top required to be drawn
off, which was done by a siphon-pipe, letting It into a:Wooden spout
which discharged its contents into, or near to, a sewer which is be-
tween the colour-house and the boiler shed. The deposit from the
liquid was all that was required in the trade. There was no evi-
dence that any of the liquor had been spilt in the transit, but it is not
improbable that some of it has either found' its way into the well by
the top, which was only covered with it wooden lid level with the
floor, or it may be that sonic of the poisonous liquor had oozed from
the sough Into the well, between which there is a distance of six or
eight yam's.

•
The three deceased (oa whom the inquest was held) were similarly
affected during their Illness with nausea and vomiting, and the
mother had also a severe cough. Neither of the three deceased were
confined to their beds on Tuesday last. John died on Saturday after-
noon, at six o'clock; Jane about three hours afterwards; and Mar-
garet at half-past eleten on Monday night. WAS A ost mortem examination of one of the bodies was made by Mr.
Garton. Ile found all the internal inflammation and appearances,
such as led him to the decided opinion that the deceased had died
from the effects of poison. He had analysed the water from the
well, and found unequivocal traces of arsenic.
The CORONER suggested that the inquiry should rte adjourned until
Wednesday, in artier that the well, the sewer, and the pipe should be
taken up, and every means used to discover in what manner the
poison had got into the water.—Adjourned accordingly,

LAMENTABLE AM) FATAL ACCIDENT.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
DOVER, FEB. 24.—A most lamentable accident, with a fearful loss
of life, has occurred here to-day. It appears that a number •f
labourers, employed by the South-Eastern Railway Company, on
their sea-wall, fronting near Abbot's-cliff tunnel, had entered a sort
of cave far the purpose of getting their dinners out of the rain, and
that one or more barrels of gunpowder had bean most incautiously
left in this place; that the powder by some sad accident, probably
from a pipe, ignited, and an explosion took place, by which these poor
fellows were blown out of the cave in all directions. In the confu-
sion that has ensued it is very difficult to ascertain the number of the
sufferers. It is reported there were sixteen or seventeen in the
cave, and we fear that all are either killed or very severely injured.
Eight bodies have been Lrought into the station, but so disfigured by
the gunpowder that only one, of the name of Hatton (a Dover
labourer), has yet been recognised. Five have been brought in
alive, but so mutilated and injured that the greater part of them
will probably die in the course of the evening. Every possible exer-
tion has been made by the officers of the Railway Company and the
authorities for the removal of the sufferers, and several of the medical
men have been in attendance from the moment the accident was
known to afford all the relief that could be administered.
The catastrophe has caused most intense anxiety, and the neigh-
bourhood of the station is crowded with the relatives of the sufferers
in a state °fagot*, and suspense not to be described.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
DOVER, Ezz. 24.—A dreadful accident took place this morning on
the works connected with the railway, on the line between Dover
and Folkestone,attended with a severe loss of life. It appears that
several labourers (upwards of twenty in number) who are constantly
employed on the embankment, &c., having partaken of their dinner
at their usual hour, retired (in consequence of a shower of rain
coming on) to a cave at the back, about half way between Shakes-
peare and Abbott's Cliff tunnels, and in which, unfortunately, a quan-
tity (some say two casks) of damaged powder, the remains of that
which was used in blasting down the chalk hills for the formation of
the railway, was deposited, and, lamentable to relate, one of the la-
bourers having incautiously been smoking his pipe therein, it is sap-
pesed that some fragments of -the ignited ashes must have fallen into
the powder. A most tremendous explosion was the consequence,
and a great many of the poor men were thrown to an imredible dis-
tance, and when taken up their dead mutilated bodies scarcely bore
the vestiges of humanity, the belies of many protruding through the
flesh and skin, and the rest black and disfigured corpses. As soon
as the catastrophe was known to have taken place special engines
were dispatched, accompanied by several medical gentlemen, to the
spot, to alleviate, if possible, the sufferings of the survivors. Four-
teen human beings have thus suffered, ten of whom are already dead,
and four more most dreadfully wounded and burnt.
FIVE O'CLOCK, P.M.—lt is not expected that more than two of the
four wounded men will recover, the nature of their injuries being
such as almost to preclude the possibility of their surviving.

THY': CIVIL WAR IN THE CITY.—On Saturday morn-
3tr. Dadd, superintendent of the IVatermen's Steam-boat Com-

pany, tind Edmund Mackey, and John Ireland, two of the crew of
the Waterman No 5, were liberated from Newgate, after an incar-

were measured in Newgate on the Tuesday previous. They were
also entertained at a public breakfast, at the offices of the City
Steam-packet Company, in Earl-street, Blackfriars, by a number of
gentlemen connected with the trade and navigation of the river, at

puny, presided. .Ir. Kinchio, the master of Waterman No. 5, who
