THE INTERNAL SLAVE TRADE..—We have no in- s
tention of concealing our satisfaction at the rapidly-in-
t:leasing. importance of the commerce in blacks between
Missouri and the South. There is no true friend of the
State who will not be gratified by the fact that the slaves of
Missouri are rapidly finding purchasers who take them out
of the State and leave in their stead thousands of gold dol-
lars, enabling their former owners to pay for the labour of
white men in tilling the ground and raising the rich crops
which our farms are capable of producing under labour
intelligently directed. The South is doing a good work for
Missouri. We have to record the departure of another lot
of negroes from our midst. The steamer Ryland brought
29 adults and children, male and female. They were the
property of Mr. Tom Smith, of Independence, and bought
at an overage of 1,000 dols. a head,
.as a speculation, by Mr.
Gwin, of Vicksburgh, Mississippi. Mr. Gwin says that
six or seven of these are among the finest negroes he ever
saw, and cost him 1,200 dols. each.—Missotes Democrat,
Jan. 6.
FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION.--A most fearful
boiler explosion occurred on the Shields Railway. on Tues-
day. The coals are sent down this railway by incline to
the staiths in the Tyne, and a man named Wm. Brunton
was in charge of a standing engine about a mile and a half
from Percy Main. Brunton had cleaned the boiler on Sa-
turday, and had sent two sets of waggons down to the docks
at the Hayhole, when the boiler exploded with fearful force.
It was lifted up and torn into four pieces, the principal por-
tion being thrown across four railways and over two deep
cuttings. Another portion struck a cottage belonging to
Brunton, and nearly demolished it, his wife having a very
narrow escape. The engine-house was completely demo-
lished, and Brunton was buried under the roof and ruins of
the building ; and a portion of the boiler flying across the
waggon way, as a set of waggons were running down the
incline, cut the rope and caused them to run adrift. A.
woman and a little girl were riding behind, and as the wag-
gons increased in momentum they screamed most pitiably.
The woman leaped off, but her legs got entangled in the
rope, and she was thrown down and dragged some distance.
The lad in charge of the waggons fortunately got the rope
loose from the waggon and thus saved her ; and another
man employed on the railway fortunately jumped upon the
waggon and rescued the girl. The waggons ran with great
velocity down to Percy Main, and, coming in contact
with some standing waggons, smashed them and did a
considerable amount of mischief. As soon as a force
could be gathered together a number of men were
employed to dig out Brunton from:,the ruins, and his body
was recovered about an hour and a half after the accident,
fearfully mutilated. He was of course quite dead. The
cause of the explosion has not been ascertained, but it is
supposed to have been caused by a tiCareity Of Water
