THURSDAY EVENING, Aug. 5.
This day has been especially devoted to the enter-
tainment of the Queen of England by the Emperor
and Empress of the French, and I have now to send
/(111 an account of the various incidents connected
'With it.

The moment (eight o'clock) that the Royal Stand-
ard of England was seen floating on board her Ma-
nesty-e s yacht, there was poured forth from the Fort
irr
be-ilottunet a salute of heavy guns, which was echoed
thicalsil the war ships of France, and the forts in
b,,uaY, by a discharge of their artillery. Many
s-1-3ells Were therefore under the erroneous impres-
fell that the Queen, as I stated in my
te,tter of
yesterday, was about to conferir.
bne unexpected honour of a visit to the city of C lel
li°l4g. The character of the Queen and herear y
diibits are well known to the people here, and hepcee
thees 7 sipposed that, having given a promise to th
Peror ,
n; she would land at Cherbourg, she was on
ataP,rut of fulfilling it, by passing through the city
tie - "rile when she might be least liable to interrup-
•Cn• All these reasons and fancies proved to be
(Nally fallacious.
„_ The-
rfilT•ell as
People who gathered around the Prefecture,
those who had their eyes fixed upon the
is nit2rY Port, in tl:e hope of seeing the Emperor
lasn-fie, forth from the one place or the Queen
poin":ng on the other, were alike doomed to chsapd-
perieut for many hours. Complete quiet an
royalr-et rePose Possessed both places from the first
. salute of the morning.
' Tas
f iniL, not until half-past eleven o'clock that aline
the """Y was stationed between the Prefecture
fiand

The indipendente of Turin contradicts the rumour
of the probability of a reconciliation between the
King of Naples and the Western Powers.
A letter from Milan, in the Indipendente of
Turin, states that General Gyulay, who was shortly
to be invested with the supreme military command
of Lombardy and Venice, has just been wounded by
a bullet at the manoeuvres of the camp of Somma.
Another letter in the Vessilo della Liberia goes the
length of saying that the general has died of his
wound. It is not stated whether the occurrence is
attribueed to accident or crime.

DEPUTATION TO Loan STANLEY.—A deputation,
headed by the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., and including re-
presentatives of the various missionary societies, and other
friends of Christian missions, is to wait on Lord Stanley to-
day (Saturday), at II o'clock precisely, at the Board of
Centro!, t urge the importance of no official step being
adopted adverse to the interests of Christianity in India.
ISSUES or TIIE JEW QUESTION.—The Saturday
Review, speaking of Baron Roth,chitd's admission to the
Holm of Commotts, says, that henceforth " all religious and
,o,dal disqualification for the Legislature must cease," and
even clergymen ba admissible. It proceeds :—"Anothr r cor-
sequence will follow from Baron Rothschild's presence in
the Legislature. Another, and perhaps the last link,
between Church and State is loosened, if not sever Pd."
The European and Australian steamer Cambria,
conveying the Australian mail from Alexandria, is
expected to. day, and the Wye will take the overland
portion of the mail to Mamillo.

1. The establishment of such a system of consular educa-
tion and promotion as may tend to prevent the employment
of any but British subjects as consuls, vice-consuls, or inter-
preters, in the portion of the world comprising Northern
Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Levant.
2. The prohibition of all consuls to engage in trade, or to
accept commercial agencies (except is such cases as the
Foreign Office may specially determine to be advantageous
to the public interest, with a view to the opening or develop-
ing of any new trade), and the appointment of respectable
persons, already engaged in commerce, as British consular
agents, in places where the presence of a salaried British
official is not required.
3. Tne diminution of the present number of vice-consuls in
Europe, and the gradual abolition of their licence to trade.
4. such an organisation of the consular service as may
divide its members into separate classes, receiving salaries
adequate to their position, and without any further reduc-
tion than that of the income tax; any augmentation for
special service or peculiar circumstances to be made in the
way of a special allowance.
5. The appropriation of all fees, except in the cases of
unpaid consuls, to the: public account, the expenses of the
office being regulated and defrayed by the Government.
The committee are of opinion that the consular instruc-
tions might be revised with advantage, and quit the pub-
lication, periodically, of the commercial returns from our
consuls, in an improved form, might be of considerable
benefit to the public.
The committee recommend that the classification of con-
solar officers referred to in their report, together with the
scale of salaries decided upon by the Government, should be
laid before Parliament.

The committee say they are unwilling to separate with-
out expressing their gratification at the testimony borne to
the worth and character of:the gentlemen now on the con-
sular establishment of this country:

The Earl and Countess Granville left town on
Thursday last for Germany, and intend to be absent from
this country several weeks.

The Earl and Countess of Sandwich have been
entertaining, during the week; a distinguished circle of
friends at their family residence in Huntingdonshire.

The Countess (Dowager) of Winchilsea and her
youthful family have arrived at Dane Court, Mr. E. R.
Rice's seat, in Kent, from Brighton.

Count d'Einsiedel (Grand Equerry to the King
of Saxony) and M. Montz Hartmann have left the Brun-
wick Hotel, S. Jatnes':, fur Pais, c; route for Saxot.y.

Lord and Lady Muncaster have arrived at their
seat in Yorkshire, from visiting the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Westminster, at Eaton Hall, Cheshire.
The Dowager Lady Truro is expected to return

Ireland.

Lord Henry Bentinck has left Claridge's Hotel
for Linc3ln.

Sir James Prior and Lady Prior have arrived at

WtxDson, Friday.—The birthday 'of his Royal
Highness Prince Alfred, who has completed his 14th year,
was celebrated here with the customary honours paid to the
members of the royal family. The bells of the Chapel Royal,
of St. George and St. John's Church rang merry peals
during the day, and at noon a royal salute was fired by the
Queen's bombardier iu the Long-walk; royal salutes were
also fired from Fort Belvidere and from the Royal Adelaide
frigate at Virginia Water.
THE NEW POLICE REGULATIONS IN EGYPT.—A
copy of the new police regulations of the Government of
Egypt has just been published. They gave rise to a petition
to the Qiesn from Euglkli subjects sojourning at or near
Cairo. These persens desire to continue under the same
jurisdiction as heretofore, and they protest against being
placed under that of the local government, in defiance of
their lawful right, and to their hurt. The Earl of Maltnes-
bury has refused to sanction the promulgation or en-
forcement of the police regulations in so far as British sub-
jects are concerned. The principal grievances alleged were
the regulations about passports, and the rendering of her
Majesty's subjects liable to domiciliary visits.
Chelsea New Bridge is to be open free to foot
passengers for the first time to-morrow the Bth inst.
A LADY FINED FOR WEARING CRINOLINE.—The
Independance Beige states that a young lady, living in
Hanover, has been sentenced by a court of that town to pay
a fine of two francs, "for having worn a dress which, occu-
pying the whole breadth of the pavement, is an obstruction
to the public way."

THE LATE . FATAL EXPLOSION IX THE
STMINSTER-ROAD.

The adjeurnei inquest on the bodies of Sarah Ann
Williams an Carol. 'ne Bridges, who were killed by the ex-
ploson of fireworks which took place at No. 4, Elizabeth-
place, in the Westini.9ster-road, on the 12th of last month,
took place yesterdayrr,` Guy's Hospital, before Mr. Sergeant
Payne, coroner for the City of London and the, borough of
Southwark.
The proceedings excited a gootel deal of interest, and the
rcom was crowded during the Inquiry.
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended to watch the case on
behalf of Mr. Bennett, the occupier ,Of the premises at which
the first explosion took place.
Edward Tucker, Pleasant-row, East-lane, Wal worth, fire-
work-maker, examined—l know Mr. Bennett at whose
house in Elizabeth-place the first explosion took place. I
was first employed by him about 18 months ago at the ma-
nufactory usually called Madame Cotton's (Mr. Bennett's
T;ie ealricd on was principally rolling cases
for the fireworks—the fireworks themselves being made at
Peckham. Mr. Bennett was not originally a firework-
maker, but Madame Cotton had been so for several years
before he married her. I worked there for about 18 months.
Mr. Bennett knew nothing about the business. I left the
house about three quarters of an hour before the explosion
took place. The business was carried on in. Madame
Cotton's name. Mr. Bennett used to bring the fireworks
from Peckham to Elizabeth-place and from thence to
Cremorne and Vauxhall gardens. The only explosive mate-
rial kept at Elizabeth-place was coloured fire. It was kept
in the front kitchen where Madame Cotton worked. It was
used to charge cases for the gardens.
The Coroner—Will coloured fire explode of itself ?
Witness—lt will, if it is used harshly. Ido not know
what quantity was in the house on the day of the explosion,
but I believe the practice was to make it from day to day, as
it wa., wanted. The quantity used per day was not more
than from four to six lbs. Ido not know what stock was
up stairs, as I was not allowed to go up. Squibs and
crackers were kept in the front of the house for a show.
When I left the house there was a man at work in the back
parlour " potting " rockets, that is, putting little heads on
them to hold a star. There were two employed in the house
rolling and " choking " mine serpents.
By a Juror—The coloured fire was made in the back kit-
chen, but kept in h cupboard in the yard. Mr. Bennett was
a barman by ptofession (laughter) before he married
Madame Cotton.
A.Jurcr-1)o you consider coloured red light is a proper
thing to trust in the hands of a boy of 10 years of age?
The witness replied that, although he was nominally the
foreman, Madame Cotton was so headstrong she would take
no one's advice but her ov, n.
A Juror—How came there to be rockets in the house ?
The witness said he did not know what was kept in the
house.

A Juror—How many barrels of powder were there when
the explosion took place ?
Witness—l do not know that there were any.
Juror—How much powder would have caused such an
explosion as that which took place ?

fined.

A Juror—Would you, if you had becn allowed to employ
the hands, have entrusted the filling of cases to boys of 10
or 11 years of age

Witness—lt might have taken light if it had been dried
too much before the fire.

Hannah Walsh—l am employed as servant at a public-
house at Croydon, but I do not know the name of my
master or the street at Croydon which he lives in. I was
servant to Madame Cotton when the explosion took place.
I slept in the first floor back. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett slept
in the front room with a child. I never was in the back
room on the second floor, nor can I tell what it contained.
I never saw any fireworks in Mr. and Mrs. Bennett's bed-
room. The first room on the ground floor was a kind of
shop. I believe it contained nothing but" dummies" (sham
fireworks). The back room behind the shop was the place
in which the men rolled the cases. The family took their
meals in the front kitchen. The boys worked in the back
kitchen. I never saw any gunpowder in the house. I
never saw master do anything but write in the shop. He
was nearly always out with a horse and cart. I never saw
him bring any fireworks into the house from the factory at
Peckham. I was in ►he house on the day of the fire in the
first floor back. The first I heard of it was that the bo)
hallooed, and ran up the kitchen stairs. I looked over the
bannister and saw smoke coming out of the kitchen. My
dress then took fire, and I ran into the balcony and was
taken out with a ladder.

John Watson (a little boy 11 years of age) examined—l
never say my prayers, and I never heard of the Bib:e, but I
have heard of God's Book. I know that heaven is a happy
place and hell a wicked place, and that it is wrong to tell a
lie. I live at New-street, Lambeth. I was employed at
Madame Cotton's manufactory a week and five days before
the explosion took place. I was cutting eases on that day.
f was only once up stairs in the house. I saw nothing but
furniture. The other boys who were employed used to fill
the blue and red lights. I saw the red fire alight in the
back kitchen, and ran up stairs, and through the shop into the
street. I was at Mr. Gibson's (the opposite house) when it
tank fire, but I did not see the fireworks shoot out. One of
my hands was burned by the fire.
By a Juror—l never filled any firework cases before
went to work at Madame Cotton's. I saw the deceased
Sarah Anne Williams as I ran out of the. house. Mr. Ben-
nett often saw me at work. Mrs. Bennett paid me 3s. a-
week. I was at Mr. Gibson's house when the explosion took
place there.
The witness Hannah Walsh was recalled, and stated that
the canisters containing the coloured fire were as large as
the ordinary canisters in a grocer's shop.
Mr. Lewis then addressed the jury on behalf of Mr. Ben-
nett, and observed that that person was quite willing to be
examined on oath, as he was quite certain that the un-
fortunate accident had not been occasioned by any
neglect of his. his opinion was that it had been
caused by an escape of gas, as the pipes had been
tinder the care of the gas campany 's cfliccr at the
time. He (Mr. Lewis) submitted that Mr. Bennett was
carrying on a law ful trade in a lawful manner, and that as he
' had not on his premises any excessive quantity of explosive
matter, he could not be held liable for the consequences of
the catastrophe. In this case the evidence went to show that
the ignition was spontaneous, and under such circumstances
nojury would convict of manslaughter. The accident occurred
daring his absence from the premises, and there was nothing
to show either want of due care, or that a dangerous and
excessive quantity of powder or any other explosive sub-
stance was on the premises. Mr. Bennett was ready to be
called as a witness, and was prepared to tell the whole truth.
The Coroner said he would rather not call Mr. Bennett, as,
if he were asked any question which might tend to crimi-
nate him, lie would not be obliged to answer it, and there-
fore could not tell the whole truth. .

Mr. Lewis—lle i, prepared to answer every question put
to him.
The Coroner—l do not like in any case of the kind to ex.
amine a perion in his position, but if you wish to call him
you can.

Mr. Lewis said that under these circumstances he would
defer to the opinion of the coroner.

The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and told the
jury that there was nothing morally wrong against Mr.
Bennett, who had carried on a business which his neighbours
took no measures to suppress. TLe question, however, was
to what extent could he be held responsible for the lament-
able cltactrephe by which four pevons bad met their deaths
tae.) ould tuvc to decide was whether ita
had carried on the business of a manufacturer of fireworks on
tlicee premises at all. The evidence went to show that he
was in the habit of paying the men, that be brought the cases
to the other manufactory at Peckham, where they were
filled, and returned them to Elizabeth-place tq he orna-
mented,and that the smaller cases were charged with coloured
fire in the house in which he lived. if the jury were of opinion
that his dealings dii not amount to a carrying on of the
business, then there was an end of the case, but if they were
of a different opinion, then he was bound to tell them that
Mr. Bennett was doing an unlawful act, by carrying on an
unlawful trade, as the Act of Parliament, which had
never been repealed, made it unlawful for any per-
sons except the Government of the day to manufac-
ture fireworks. With regard to the representation that
the quantity of explosive substance was not excessive,
it appeared that it was quite sufficient not only to blow up
and destroy the house in Elizabeth-place, but to destrey
another house on the opposite side of the street and to kill
four persons, ned to injure many others. In his opinion, ff
the jury believed the evidence, Mr. Sennett was clearly
guilty of manslaughter, and was liable to be committed for
that offence. It', how( ver, the judge on reading the evi-
dence and considering the Act of Parliament was of
opinion that there was no olt:nce, lie would he ccquitted.
The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after an
interval of half an hour returned with the following finding :
—" That the deceased children, Caroline Bridges and Sarah
Ann Williams, died in conscquctice of burns received by the
explosion at a firework manufactory in the Westminster-
road, on the 12. th nit., carried on by William Bonyer
Bennett, and this jury find a verdict of manslaughter
against the said Wi!liam Bonver Bennett, for having unlaw-
fully carried on such manufactory contrary to s atute
9th and 10th William DI., cup. 7 ; and this jury eanuot
separate without expressing their anxious hope that the
proper authorities will take measures to prevent the
reeurienee of such unnecessary calamities for the future."
Mr. Bennett was then committed to take his trial at the
, Central Criminal Court, but was admitted to bail.
