A full average supply and a sluggish demand.

In the discount-market and at the Bank of England
the demand continues active, and, looking at the large
payments always in progress at the end of the year, this
state of affairs must be expected to last until the Jan.
dividend.

TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION..—DUDLEY, Wednesday.
—A. fearful boiler explosion took place yesterday, at the
Tipton ironworks, near this town, belonging to Messrs.
Creswell and Co., by which a number of men and boys
were seriously injured, and it is feared some of them
fatally so. The boiler, which is a large one, 12 feet by
25 feet, burst with a terrific explosion, and was projected
through the air, and carried across the canal adjoining
the works to a considerable distance, sinking two boats
and damaging two others which were upon the stocks
undergoing repairs.

(Before Mr. Gurney, Q C.)
Henry Harrison, aged. 40, was indicted for bigamy, at
Leeds, in May, 1846, i;3 marrying Sarah Ann Brown,
his former wife being then alive ; and also for having, on
the 14th Oct., 1850, maimed Maria Steel, his former wife
being alive.
Mr. Blanshard and '3.lr. Johnston prosecuted, and
Mr. Mauls, and Mr. Gr(itmhow defended the prisoner.
This first marriage of the prisoner, in 1833, with a girl
named Braybridge, both. the prisoner and his wife being
at that time only 17 yee.rs of age, and his subsequent
marriages, were fully proved, and also that his first
wife was still alive, and within his knowledge so when
he married a second time, and also at his third marriage.
The girl he had last married had since married again a
man named Sutcliffe.
The only feature of interest in the case was that the
prisoner is the Leeds: wizard who gave evidence on
Dove's trial.
