SALE OF MR. JACKSON'S HORSES.

Mr. Jackson's horses were put up by auction yesterday
at Tattersalt's. The sale yard was fully attended, but
the crowd consisted more of those persons whom the
fame of some of the animals to be sold had brought to-
gether than of people who had come with the determi-
nation of doing business. Saunterer excited much
curiosity, and was ultimately knocked down to Mr.
Blenkircn for 2,150 guineas. It is likely, however,
that he will not be delivered up until the close
of his racing career, when he will be used for stud
purposes. Indeed, it is questionable whether a bona
fide sale was effected. Magnifier, who was much talked
about La connection with the last Derby " Bullock
to ride," was sold for .45 guineas ; Precious Stone by
Touchstone—Perfection's dam brought 500 guineas, the
exact price which Mr. Jackson gave for her at,Don-
caster in Sept. last ; Brother to Flyaway was trans-
ferred for 450 guineas.
Subjoined is a list of the horses sold:—

the Isifirmatl, two of whom are not expected to recover.
Two persons are still missing. The mill is situated be-
tween the canal and the river Coln?. The work people
had returned from dinner, and were waiting for the
steam to he got up, when the boiler burst. The boiler
was a single tube Cornish one, 8 or 9 yards long and
7 feet in diameter. It burst into fragments, which were
scattered in opposite directions, completely destroying
the building in which it was placed, which was three
stories high. Nearly one-half of the boiler was thrown
into Mitchell's dyehouse-yard, a distance of 20 yards,
an•l another piece made a deep dint in an engine boiler
there, but, fortunately, did not break it. Two dead
bodies of women were thrown into the doorway of the
dye-house so mutilated that they could not be identified.
The cause of the explosion is supposed to be over-pressure
in getting up steam to commence work.
THE LATE GENERAL NEILL.-At a meeting of the
Commissioners of Supply of the county of Ayr the chair-
man, Col. J. Ferrier Hamilton, called atteetion to the
lamented death of one of their number, General Neill.
Sir James Fergusson, of Kilkerran, proposed, and Mr.
James Campbell, of Craigie, seconded, the following re-
solution, which was unanimously agreed to—" That the
Commissioners of Supply desire to record the regret and
sorrow. which they have felt in hearing of the death of
the late General Neill, and their deep sense of the loss
the country at large has sustained in the untimely end
of that gallant general's career, who during the short
period of his service in Beng:sl had contributed so largely
by his energy, courage, and military sisal to the check
which has been given to the revolt of the native army
and to the brilliant achievements of the British forces
and the loyal portion of the native army. That the
chairman shall convey to the bereaved widow and mother
of General Neill a copy of the foregoing resolution, in
the hope that this expres,ioa of sympathy, combined
with the recollection of his glorious death and the uni-
versal admiration of his great qualities and services, may
afford to them some consolation under their deplcrable
calamity."
A meeting was held yesterday of creditors of Messrs.
Wilson, Morgan, and Co., whe.lesale stationers, whose
suspension was announced en the 12th inst., when a
statement was submitted by Mr. Chatteris, the accoun-
tant, showing a deficiency of 16,1301., the liabilities
being 25,6291., and the estimated assets 9,4991. A long
and somewhat angry discussion took place upon the
dill- by the insolvents of a composition of 7s. in the

dividend of 10g. at least should have been proposed.
