water was thrown over the spectators, but nothing
more. . Had the shell taken a slanting instead of an
upright direction, it is feared many lives must have
bt en sacrificed. It is to be regretted that the autho-
rities permitted one so unfit as Capt. Harvey to
experiment with a toy so dangerous as a shell con-
taining 26 lbs. of gunpowder.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 17.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Angel Hyam Cohen, of
Messrs. Cohen and Co., metal merchants, of
Windsor-street, Bishopsgate-street Without, ap-
peared before the Lord Mayor in discharge of his
recognisances, charged with having feloniously re-
ceived two casks of naval stores belonging to her
Majesty, and alleged to have been stolen from the
Royal )Dockard at Portsmouth.
Mr. Swainson, from the department of the Ad-
miralty Solicitor, again appeared in support of the
prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr.
Robinson, barrister, instructed by Mr. Solomon.
The depositions taken at the former examination
of Sergeants Smith and Robinson, detectives be-
longing to the metropolitan police, having been
read over,
Mr. J. Tudhope was called, and said—l am chief
clerk to the storekeeper in her Majesty's Dockyard
at Deptford. I have examined a portion of the
contents of two casks at the police station in Scot-
land-yard, which were shown to me by the officers.
They consist of old metal sheeting, pieces of copper
sheet and copper nails, most of them old. The
greater portion of them are marked with the broad
arrow. They are naval stores, and belonging to the
Crown. I have had upwards of 20 years' experience
in the Storekeeper's Department. Stores of this de-
scription are never sold, but are re-manufactured at
Chatham, Portsmouth, and Woolwich dockyards.
Cross-examined—The Government never sell
mixed metal or copper or brass. I speak from 20
years' experience in Deptford dockyard. This is
the general rule, and it is one of the standing orders.
I did not discover any lead in the casks. I did not
see the whole of the contents, but more than half
were marked with the broad arrow. On a portion
of it the mark is defaced, but any one accustomed
to stores of this description can easily trace it.
Mr. Swainson said he had completed the case for
the Crown.

THE CATASTROPHE AT THE SURREY
MUSIC HALL, SHEFFIELD.

(From the Sheffield Times.)
Before proceeding to mention some additional
facts which go to strengthen the evidence of the
young man Greaves that the panic was in the first
instance occasioned by an explosion of gas, we will
give some facts of an opposite tendency, and which
certainly are somewhat difficult to reconcile with
Greaves's statements. In the first place, we hasten
to correct a misstatement which crept into our re-
port of the proceedings at the inquest, and which
reflects some injustice on Mr. Flint, who had the
management of the gas fittings. When the jury
went to view the spot in the gallery where the ex-
plof4on is said to have taken place an irregular con-
versation took place. Mr. Flint is reported to have
stated in the course of it that when he examined

the gallery after the hall was cleared on Monday
night there was no piece of boarding sprung at the
spot of the alleged explosion. What Mr. Flint
really said was that a piece of boarding was sprung,
but he denied the inference that it was caused by
an explosion of gas. His explanation of the board
being sprung is, that before the panic he and his
man went to the spot and unfastened the boarding
for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was
a leakage underneath. As soon as the man had
finished the investigation he refastened the board-
ing, but hurriedly, as the people were waiting to
take their seats ; and the boarding, not being suf-
ficiently secured, sprung out of itself, as it would
naturally do, being bent into a circular shape to
fit the bend of the gallery. Such is the explana-
tion of the undoubted fact that the piece of board-
ing was sprung out of its place after the panic.
Another fact is, that there do not appear to be any
marks of damage, such as one might expect to see
after an explosion, in the immediate vicinity of the
spot where it happened. The velvet on the top of
the front of the gallery is not burnt, and none of
the ornamental work, though it is very slight, is
injured. Mr. Cashin, civil engineer, has been re-
tained by Mr. Flint to examine the place and give
his opinion to the coroner and jury as to whether
there has been an explosion. We understand that
Mr. Cashin, who examined the place yesterday
afternoon, is prepared to state positively that in his
judgment there cannot have been an explosion of
gas at the spot indicated. Mr. Ellis, gasfitter,
George-street, who was appointed by the coroner
and jury to examine the place, and express an opi-
nion as to whether there has been an explosion,
also made an investigation yesterday, but we are
not aware what conclusion he has arrived at.
The above facts, so far as they go, tell against
the evidence of Greaves and his companion. On the
other hand, we must remember that their story is
simple, straightforward, and of itself intrinsically
trustworthy. That they could be mistaken is im-
possible, and it is scarcely within the range of pos-
sibility that their story can have been concocted.
All the three young men are of good character.
Moreover, their evidence is borne out both by cir-
cumstanee and corroborative testimony. It will be
recollected that Greaves stated that he caused the
explosion by lighting a match for his cigar. It is a
very curious circumstance, as corroborating his
story in a minute point, that on the floor under-
neath where he sat a half-burnt match was found,
and this remnant of the match corresponded in
description with the remainder of the matches he
carried in his pocket.
A great deal has been said about the pistol being
fired by a man who sat close to two women. Greaves
sat next to two women, and was just about the spot
where all those who witnessed the affair say that
the flash, from whatever it proceeded, was observed.
The evidence of the first woman is as follows :
My name is Sarah Ann Beatson. lam 17 years
old. I lodge at 22, Doncaster-street, and get my
living by washing. I was at the Surrey Music-hall
on Monday night. I went with Mary Ann Richard-
son. We sat next to a yonng man in the gallery-. It
was a young man I saw at the Town-hall with his
hand burnt. I smelt something, and the people
said it was gas. A waiter came with a piece of
lighted paper and leaned over the front of the gal-
lery, and lighted the gas just above the chandelier.
About half-an-hour before the explosion a gasman
came with another man, who had his coat on and
seemed to be master. The gasman opened the
woodwork and did something inside, and closed it
again. The gasman bad some white stuff in his
hand. The young man who sat next to me said,
" Bring thy putty here ; it is here it wants it." The
mon made some answer, but I did not know what ;
and then the young man next me said, " If it's not
here, I'll ee t both thee and thy putty." Nothing
happened after this till the explosion. I did not see
the young man next me strike a match. I should
not have seen him if he did so, because I was look-
ing at the young woman on the stage. I was look-
ing at her dress. Then the explosion took place.
It came like a flash. I can scarcely say what sort
of a flash. The flash seemed as if it came upwards,
and took my eyesight. I smelt no gunpowder. I am
certain the young man next me had no pistol in his
hand. I thought at the time it was an explosion of
gas. The people began to rush out directly after-
wards.
It would be tedious to give the statement of the
other young woman, as it merely corroborates that
of her companion. Her name, as already stated, is
Mary Ann Richardson. She is 22 years of age, and
lives with her parents at 26, Doncaster-street.
Mr. Booth, surgeon, in accordance with the re-
quest of the coroner, has examined the hand of
Greaves, in order to ascertain how the injury has
been occasioned. He states precisely the same as
Mr. Hall, that there is a slight burn which might
have been occasioned by an explosion of gas, or by
other means ; but the actual mode in which it has
been done he is unable to say.
There are several persons who saw the flash, and
who are prepared to say that they believe it pro-
ceeded from an explosion of gas. There are more
who were of opinion at the time that it was caused
by the letting off of a pistol. Some of them still re-
bin the same belief ; but it is very doubtful whether
any one of them will be prepared to come forward
and say that he saw a pistol. Madame Marietta,
indeed states that she. say a pistol, and it was a
very large one ; but the: ,t,W4I or from which she suf-
fered was Eo great that 'cffithout imputing to 112 r
any intentional misrepresentation) very little reli-
ance can be placed upon what she says upon such a
point.
Mr. Youdan has announced the reopening of the
establishment for Friday (last) night. Previously
to that time, however, all the gas piping and appa-
ratus on the premises will be thoroughly tested.

Mr. Robinson, on behalf of the prisoner, con-
tended that there was not a tittle of evidence to
show that his client knew that he had Government
stores in his poisession at the time the officers
searched his premises. It was quite clear that he
was ignorant of the fact, and the Crown had not
suggested that he was cognisant of it.
The Lord Mayor—There was a bill of lading
lying on the desk in the counting-house stating the
nature of the articles the cask contained.

Mr. Robinson—Undoubtedly. He buys old metal
and until he sees the metal in the casks he has not
the least idea what it is. The course of business is
this—goods are consigned to them. As soon as they
have seen them they have them weighed, and send
a check to the consignors for their value. No doubt
fhe young man acted very indiscreetly and absurdly
in resisting the officers, but there was not the
slightest attempt at concealment from first to last.
Smith, the officer, was then further examined,
and in answer to the Lord Mayor said--I went
into the premises five or six minutes after the casks
had been delivered from the cart. I believe they
had not then been opened, and I took an iron hoop
off and lifted up the head of one of them. We
could not get possession of the premises, and our
men remained in the streets until five hours after-
wards. At the end of five hours we searched the
premises, but found nothing else.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, wag fully
committed for trial for having unlawful possession
of Government stores marked with the broad arrow,
and belonging to her Majesty.
Upon the application of Mr. Robinson the pri-
soner was admitted to bail, himself in £2OO, and
two sureties in £lOO each.

GUILDHALL.--William Thos. Barns, the son,
and Lucy Barns, the wife of Mr. Barns, the well-
known auctioneer and picture dealer of St. Paul's-
churchyard, again surrendered in discharge of their
bail to answer the charge of unlawfully conspiring
to defraud Mr. Robert Herries Peter, a gentleman
of independent property, residing in Hyde Park-
square, of a bill of exchange for £1,000., and divers
other sums in money, amounting in the whole to
between £2,000 and £3,000.
Mr. Peter, the prosecutor, being too unwell to
attend to sign his deposition, the case was adjourned
until Friday next.

WESTMINSTER.—Ferris Carr, the policeman
who took Isaac Hammond into custody upon the
charge of throwing Sarah Farrell, a woman with
whom he has been for some time cohabiting, out of
window, yesterday represented that he had seen
the injured woman in Westminster Hospital, who,
after detailing the brutal treatment of Hammond to
her a few days ago, said that if the magistrate
would come there she would tell him all about the
matter. Mr. Paynter shortly afterwards went to
the hospital, accompanied by the second clerk, when
she appeared to be worse than before, her memory
apparently from time to time failing her. Sub-
joined is her deposition :
Prisoner is my husband. I cannot say what hap-
pened to me in the room. lire had a quarrel. I
think I got out of the window. Pray don't hurt
him. I know nothing!! more from the time I
went out of the window. A week ago he told me
he would beat- me. Pray don't hurt him. His
mother saw me this morning, and told me he was
nearly out of his mind.
Prisoner was remanded fir a week.

THAMES.—Yesterday Robert Bowers, aged 16,
and described as a hawker, was brought on remand
before Mr. Selfe, charged wjth burglariously break-
ing into and entering the .Earl of Glengall public-
house, Millwall, Poplar, and stealing therefrom
about £5 in silver and copper, five knives, and a
quarter of u pound of Cavendish tobacco.
It appeared from the evidence that on the morning
of the 10th inst., at half-past 5 o'clock, a young
man, named John Marsh, 'lodging at the Glengall
Arms, who had to rise early, found the prisoner in
the watercloset of the house, and observed a quan-
tity of pence and halfpence and five knives on the
floor. He asked the prisoner what business he had
on the premises, to ivhich he replied that he had
been locked out of his lodgings,
and was compelled
to sleep in the watereloset all night. The prisoner
then climbed over some palings in the rear of the
public-house and made his escape. The landlord
was aroused, and discovered the lower part of his
premises all " in an uproar," and all the money left
iu the till and on the shelves of the bar missing.
An entry had been effected by cutting away part of
a pane of glass in a side window. A hand was ad-
mitted, the bolt of the window unfastened, and the
window itself pushed back in a horizontal position.
Five knives and some tobacco were also missing. A
large clasp-knife, not belonging to the landlord, was
found upon a table in the bar, and a white jacket in
a cottage adjoining. On the same day, about 11
o'clock, a police constable named John Kelihu, No.
116 lt, met the prisoner on Blackheath-hill, Kent,
and observing that his pockets were very bulky, he
detained the lad, and found upon him £3 Ss. in
silver, 18s. 83d. in copper money, five knives, two
razors, a counterfeit florin, a counterfeit shilling,
and a quarter of a pound of tobacco. lie questioned
the prisoner, who said he had changed a half-sove-
reign, and that wasthe reason he had so many half-
pence about him. He also said that he and anotber
man had broken into the kitchen of a publichouse
in Poplar on the preceding night, and stolen some
money, and that he was to meet the other man on
Blackheath. The money found on the prisoner cor-
responded as nearly as possible with that lost by
the prosecutor, who identified__five knives, two
razors, a counterfeit florin, and a counterfeit shil-
ling among the money taken.from the prisoner.
Bowers made no defence and was committed for
trial.

SOUTHWARK.—Soon after Mr. Burcham had
taken his seat on the bench Mr. Solomon attended
before him with an elderly woman to ask for an order
under the Matrimonial Causes Act to protect her
property from her husband and his creditors. They
had bccn separated 17 years, during which time the
husband had never contributed towards her sup-
port, and two years ago, having robbed his em-
ployers, h. e left the country to escape justice.
Mr. Burcham—That's not exactly deserting you.
It looks more like desertino. justice.
Mr. Solomon here pointed out aclause in the Act
of Parliament which empowered his worship to give
protection to a deserted wife in such a peculiar case.
Mr. Burcham, after perusing it, granted the order.

GREENWICH.--Mr. Jos. Lumley, shipbuilder,
occupying extensive premises near the Commercial
Docks, Rotherhithe, was summoned before Mr.
Traill, at the instance of the Government, charging
him with not complying with the provisions of the
Smoke Act.

Mr. Bodkin attended in support of the summons.
From the evidence of Mr. Sanderson, an engineer
in the employ of the authorities, it appeared that
he visited the defendant's premises on the 4th Aug.
and found a dense smoke issuing from a furnace,
connected with which were asteam-engine and
boiler, but no apparatus for the consumption of the
smoke. There were also 19 other furnaces on the
premises without flues, the smoke escaping by the
roof, and when all the furnaces were charged the
place resembled a house on fire.
Mr. Bodkin said this was a very aggravated case,
and he had to ask that the full penalty might be
enforced.

The defendant's foreman expressed a willingness
to undertake that the furnace of which complaint
had been made should not be again used until pro-
per apparatus was applied, and he hoped this would
meet the case.
Mr. Traill said it would not do to receiye such

undertakings, and inflicting the full penalty of £5,
said this fine would be doubled on a second conviction.
Mr. Samuel Freeman, stonemason, Rotherhithe,
was summoned for a like offence, which was proved
by Mr. Thompson, Government engineer.
Mr. Trail inflicted a fine of £5 and 2s. 'costs in
this case also.
