THE UNEMPLOYED SILK WEAVERS.

DESPATCHES FROM INDIA.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Yesterday evening a numerously attended meet-
ing of the bro,rd-silk weavers cf Bethnal-green .ind
its neighbourhood was held at the Duke of York
Tavern, New York-street, Bethnal-green, to hear
the report of a committee appointed at a former
meeting, and to consider the best moans of reliev-
ing the great distress now prevailing in the district.
Mr. JOHN HARDMAN having been called to the
chair,
Mr. GEAR, one of the members of the committee,
said that he, in common tvith his colleagues, had
pursued th..)ir labours with great assiduity, having
made a retn-to-room visitation of the poor families
thrown out of employment by the present stagna-
tion of commerce. The committee had ascertained
that the most frightful misery existed among the
weavers. In many places the children, as well as
the parents, were without food, and so completely
were the fathers of the children prostrated tlia!
they looked with seeming unconcern upon the
wretchedness of their offspring. In one place
visited by the committee a poor, half-naked, and
famished looking woman, with her equally wretched
children, stood behind the door while answering
the questions put to her by the committee. She
said that her husband had gone out to look for a
few halfpence to buy bread for the children, but
that he had not returned up to that time, although
it was then noon, and the children had not had a
morsel of food that day. Having visited several
cases of appalling destitution the committee made
inquiry into the number of looms unemployed.
The result was that 2,446 looms were reported to
them as stopped. (A Voice, "The number is far
greater.") Toe committee hen proceeded to visit
the workhouses in the locality, when they ascer-
tained that there were 455 in Bethnal-green work-
house 200 in Shoreditch, and a great number in
Spitalfields. Calculating one loom to each family
out of employment, the number of idle looms would
be 3,101, a fact alone sufficient to attest a vast
amount of human suffering. .

(From the Gazette of last evening.)
INDIA BOARD, Nov. 20.
The following despatches have been received at the East
India House, at various times, since October 13, 1857, and
are now inserted in the London Gazette, in continuation
of those published on that day :
The Acting Adjutant-Genera of the Army to the Secre-
tary to the Government of India. •

(Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices
Wightroan and Erle )
IN RE GREENWOOD—JUDGMENT.

Lord Campbell gave the judgment of the Court in this
case, which was one of importance to prisoners for debt
and creditors. It came before the court on a rule calling
cn the Judge of the County Court of York to show
cause why he refused to hear the petition of an insolvent
named Greenwood, on an order of reference from the
judge of the Insolvent Court in London. In February,
1856, the insolvent was confieed in York Castle under
an execution for debt, and on an habeas corpus he was
removed to the Queen's Bench Prison. A creditor in
the Oct. following petitioned in the London Insolvent
Court for a vesting order, which was granted, and the
insolvent filed his schedule, and an order for hearing in
London was made. On the hearing, however, the
London Commissioner ordered the insolvent to be
taken back to York witk an order of reference to the
York County Court judge to hear the petition. He,
however, refused to obey the order, believing he had no
jurisdiction under the now laws, and the rule was ap-
plied for and granted to decide the point. Two ques-
tions arose on it—first, whether a creditor could file an
insolvent's petition ; and, secondly, if a county court
judge was bound to obey an order of reference from a
judge of the London Insolvent Court. Tim Court was
of opinion that the object of the alteration of the insol-
vent law was to give the same jurisdiction to creditors
as to prisoners for debt to file the iesolvent'e petition,
and that the judge of a county court was bound to obey an
order of reference from the judge of the London Insol-
vent Court.
" Rule made abcolute.

Head-quarters,-Camp before
July 6, 1857.
Sir,--In forwarding, for submission to the Governor-
General in Council, the enclosed copy of a report from
Major-General Sir H. Barnard, K.G.B.dated the ',Satultimo, ultimo relative to the attacks of the mutineers on the out-
posts of the force on the 233 idem, I am directed by the
Provincial Commander-in-chief to add his testimony to
that of Sir H. Birnard as to the persevering gallantry and
endurance of the troops engaged, both European and
Native, of which Major-General Reed was himself, for a
portion of the day, a witness.
2. The endurance displayed by the troops throughout
the whole day, under a scorching sun, and without food,
the Provincial Commander-in-Chief considers to have been
moat praiseworthy, and well deserving the special com-
mendation of the Government.—l have, &c.,
N. CHAMBERLAIN, Brigadier-General.

Major• General Sir H. Barnard to the Adjutant-General
of the Army.
_ .

Camp, above-Delhi, June 28,1857.
Sir,--I have the honour to report, for the information
of the Commander-in-Chief, that, on the 23d instant, the
insurgents renewed their attack upon us ; and, owing to
some religious feeling, kept it up during the whole day.
Knowing they had come out of- the town the day before,
and had not been seen returning at night, I became anxious
for the safety of a valuable convoy, which was to march
into camp on the morning of the 23d, and sent a
strcng escort out to meet it. This was successful; but the
convoy had scarcely arrived in camp, ere my attention was
called to the right or Hindoo Rao position, where, during
the whole of the rest of the day, the combat was main-
tained. The enemy having lodged themselves in some
loop-holed houses, and a serai and mosque, occasioned some
loss ; and I regret to say Col. Welchman, of the Ist Bengal
Europea,nFusiliers, was severely wounded.
The loss on the part of the rebels was very serious.
I submit a casualty return.—l have, &c.,
H. W. BARNARD.

THE QUEEN V. ETON COLLEGE.-IMPORTANT DECISION.

Lord Campbell, in giving judgment in this case, said
that the Court had taken time to consider the case, from
the great importance and novelty of the main question
raised. The main question involved was, whether on
the promotion of an incumbent to a colonial bishopric
he vacated his benefice, and the same lapsed to the
Crown. There could be no doubt that, on the promotion
of an incumbent to a bishopric in England, or Ireland,
the benefice became void, and the presentation lapsed
to the Crown. It was clearly the prerogative of the
Crown, however it might have ari en, or however it
might have been acquired. It rested on uniform
usage, and was supported by the dicta of our
text writers and the decisions of the Courts
of Law, that could not for a moment be
questioned. In this case the Rev. Mr. Harpur, incum-
bent of Stratford Mortimer, in the gift of the College,
had been promoted to the Bishopric of Christ Church,
in New Zealand, and the question was, whether the
defendants or the Queen had the right of presentation to
the vacant benefice. The learned lord Entered fully into
the law of the question, and concluded by stating that
it Was the unanimous opinion of the Court that a colonial
bishopric did not come within the law and usage as laid
down, and to which he bad referred, and therefore the
judgment of the Court was for the defendants, which
retained to them the future presentation to the incum-
bency.

Mr. HARDY, the secretary t 3 the committee, cor-
roborated the statement of the last speaker, and
said that if something was not speedily done to
allay the destitution of the unemployed weavers,
the newspapers would have to record worse cases
of human suffering than were recorded in India.

Nominal roll of the officers killed and wounded :
Lieut. Jackson, 2d European Bengal Fusiliers' killed.

Some discussion ensued as to the best mode of
giving practical application to the suggestions of
the committee. Ultimately, the report was adopted,
and it was resolved to ask Mr. Hanbury, Fen., to
act as treasurer, and receive any subscriptions that
might be forwarded to him for distribution among
the suffering families.
The proceedings, which were quiet and orderly
throughout, were then brought to a conclusion.

THE BOILOR EXPLOSION AT HUDDEM-
FIELD.-TWELVE LIVES LOST.

The following are additional particulars relating
to the boiler explosion which took place at Hudders-
field on Monday afternoon, and a short account of
which appeared in y,sterday's Sun. It was there
stated that seven lives had been Ist. The number
of the dead now amounts to twelve :—Jesse Filth,
engineer ; Joseph Lamb, mechanic ; Emma Chile,
Eliza Lord, Hannah Lord, Sarah Ann Stott-, Mary
Ann Garlick, Humblebee, Fletcher, Crowther,
Elizabeth Hampshire, and another, name not given,
all femab-s but two.

Her Majesty's 75th Regt.-1 non-commissioned officer
killed ; 1 rank and file wounded.
Ist European Bengal Fusiliers-1 non-commissioned
officer, 10 rank and file, killed ; 1 field-officer, 3 non•oom-
missioned officer!, 26 rank and file, wounded.

The place in which the accident occurred is a cot-
ton-warp factory, belonging to Mr. George Kaye.
The place had been stopped for a week, for the pur-
pose of laying a new eugine down, and recAnutenccd
work that morning. The boiler was of 24-horse power
and was placed in a space under two rooms, which,
although intended to be used as work-rooms, were
fortunately empty at the time of the explosion. The
boiler-house was 50ft by 36ft, open aZ, each end ; the
side walls and walls of the room above it were of
stone. There was a stable close by one end of it,
and the factory was at its side. By the side of the
factory, and passing one end of theMoiler-house,
was a goit or mill-dam, about 39 ft. across, and on
the opposite side of the goit is Mr. Mitchell's dye-
house. All went on well to the dinner hour. The
time for recommencing work was two o'clock, but
from some unascertained reason the engine did not
start punctually, and a number of the mill hands
went to look at it. There were also some mecha-
nics and the engineer present.
The explosion took place about ten minutes past
two o'clock. One end of the boiler was blown to
pieces, the other part was lifted about 20 yards, a
portion of the upper rooms was thrown into the
goit, and the remainder fell into the boiler-house,
so that the whole place was a ruin. Great num-
bers of persons flocked to the place, and both
the town and county police, under their respec-
tive superintendents, Messrs. Beaumont and
Heaton, ware soon on the spot. It was then
seen that many must have been killed, and others
severely hurt. Several persons were taken out of
the ruins, and those most injured conveyed at once
in cabs to the Infi'mary. Police-constable W.
Redfern discovered the body of a mechanic, named
Joseph Lunn, blown across the goit into Mr.
Mitchell's dyehouse, and the body of a young
wman by his side, also blown over by the explo-
sion., On the edge of the goit the body of another
young woman was lying, and just in the water were
the bodies of two other females, the dress of one
having been completely blown away. Subsequently
the bodies of two other females were found in the
goit, on the same side as the boiler was placed ;
and about two hours and a half alter the explosion

the body of another girl was found on the roof of
Mr. Mitchell's dyehouse. seven of the bodies
found were of women and girls, and only one of a
man. _ _

Two bodies were found yesterday morning, and
two persons are still in the infirmary, dangerously
injured. An inquest is to be held to-day.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, TUESDAY MORNING.
Last night an immense public meeting (the spa-
cious lecture hall i❑ Nelson-street being crammed
to the door) was held i❑ this town—the Mayor, A.
Nichol], Esq., in the chair—to petition Parliament
to take measures for the release of the two English
engineers at present confined in the prison of Salt rno
by the Neapolitan Government ; having been cap-
tured in Juno last o❑ board the Cagliari steamer,
after she was taken forcible possession of by Italian
insurgents. Henry Watt, one of the captives, is a
Newcastle man, having served his time at the engine
factory of R. Stephenson, Esq., M.P., and great
interest is taken in his fate. The meeting bad been
called by the Mayor, at the request of a large body
of ratepayers, and the greatest enthusiasm was (lit-
played throughout the whole proceedings. Above
1,200 persons were present, and notwithstanding
the night was miserably wet and boisterous, the
stairs of the hall and every place commanding a
view of the platform was crowded. The following
resolution was uanimous!y agreed to :—" Teat it is
the opinion of this meeting that the imprisonment
without trial of the two English engineers, Messrs.
H. H. Watt and Parks, by the Neapolitan Govern-
ment, and the refusal of that Government to allow
the English consul at Naples or any of their friends
to communicate with them, is an insult to the
British nation, and requires the prompt and vigo-
rous interposition of the British Government ; and
that Government should immediately demand for
our two unfortunate fellow-countrymen an lame-
diate release."
