DunuN, JAN. 29.—The following additional details
of this calamitous occurrence are supplied by two local
journals received this morning ;
" On Sunday evening, at eight o'clock, Limerick was
horror-stricken, by one of the mast tragical events that
ever fell to the lot of a journalist to record. In a small
lane at the end of Change•lane, in the Abbey, parish of
St. Mary's, a public wake was held on the remains of a
young married woman, named Jordan, who died after
her first confinement. The crowd was unusually great,
and every portion of an old, rotten, ricketty tenement
was filled to witness this idle ceremony. The corpse
was laid out on the upper story, which was crowded ;
midile story was likewise filled to overflowing, and the
ground floor was similarly circumstanced. In a second
tho topmost story gave way, and, horrible to tell, the
people, falling on the persons below, the second floor
gave way, and the entire came down with an awful
crash on those occupying the ground floor. This
all occurred in a second of time ; and, of course,
the people were unprepared for such a catastrophe.
Ten persons were killed on the spot, and sixteen
badly wounded. The arms and legs of several were
broken, whilst others were considerably bruised and mu-
tilated. The first outcry was to bring the bodies of the
dead and dying to Barrington's Hospital ; and perhaps
more dismal or woeful scenes never occurred than took
place in the streets. Husbands shouting for their wives
—fathers and mothers looking for their children—every
one, a member of whose family was out, apprehensive
that his or her child, or relative, was among the killed.
The police, under Mr. Williams, were promptly on the
spot, and rendered every assistance. In less than half
an hour the ruins of the wretched and fatal tenement
were completely cleared out, and the bodies removed to
Barrington's Hospital. The clergymen of St. Mary's,
the Rev. John Brehm, P.P., the Messrs. Egan and
Mackey, the Rev. James Quinn, P.P., St. John's ; the
Rev. Messrs. William Bourke and Ryan, were in imme-
diate attendance, and administered the last rites of reli-
gion to the poor sufferers. An inquest was held on the
bodies, and a verdict according to the melancholy circum-
stances returned."

The Limerick Reporter gives the followidg additional
particulars :—" Ten were killed in all—namely, Mary,
wife of Cornelius Murphy, a bailiff ; Catherine, wife of
Michael Haneen, labourer, Garryowen; Catherine Mad
den (unman ied), Garryower. ; Mary Molony (unmar
ried), Mary-street ; Jane Boland (unmarried), of the
Abbey ; Bridget Rourke (widow), and her daughter
Margaret (unmarried), Garryowen ; James Enright, a
youth, son of Jamcs Enright, and James Lynch, Garry-
owen, labourer. Three of the unfortunate women were
far advanced in pregnancy. There were only two men
present, and one of them escaped, while the other
(Lynch) was killed, in the effort to save his wife, who is
dangerously bruised. Of the wounded we have ascer-
tained the following names :—George Mason, Alicia
Grady, Margaret Grady, Margaret Halman, Margaret
Jordar, Catherine Barlow, Mary Hayes, Eliza Jordan,
Catherine Jordan, Ellen Fitzgerald, Bridget Kennedy,
Mary Barlow, Margaret Lee, Henry Enright, and Ra-
chael Lynch. Two of the wounded girls could not be in-
duced even by the Catholic clergy to take wine which
the doctors prescribed as absolutely necessary, and when
they were informed they would die if they persisted in
their determination, they replied that they would rather
die than taste it."

TIE LIBRARY OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—
Thursday the sale of the fourth portion of the library of
the late Duke of Sussex was commenced, at Messrs.
Evans's. The number of the lots in this portion is 2,648,
consisting of near 7,000 volumes, principally of the Greek
classics, and comprising many rare first editions. The
sale will last eleven days.

POVERTY REWARDED.—The Hampshire Telegraph
boasts a paragraph which we have read with a delicious
thrill of the heart-strings. One Ann Abraham, aged
upwards of ninety, has received at the West of England
Agricultural Meeting, as the reward of fifty years'
faithful servitude, the sum of 2/.—yes, forty shillings—
a very handsome recompense, though certainly not at
the rate of twelve-pence a year. She has, moreover, re-
ceived—" A handsome testimonial from the Society,
bearing the signature of the Marquis of Lansdowne, and
which, being framed and glazed, now forms an elegant
decoration to her cottage." Ann Abraham has not
touched the forty shillings. No ; she has left the money
"to provide for her burial, without burdening the
parish." Really, there is a fine spirit of economy ani-
mating these rewarding societies. For instance, the
poor man will keep cut of the workhouse—will starve
with a fine heroism for fifty years, so that at the end
of the half century he may obtain the rewarding
forty shillings. He obtain it ? No ; his corpse obtains
it, for he does not touch the money, leaving it that it
may save his remains from the obloquy of parish deals.
By such sweet:bribes, (not forgetting the "handsome tes-
timonial, framed and glazed,") the poor are not only
tempted to starve through life, but to bury themselves
when starving has done its worst. How must the father
of hypocrisy have chuckled and rubbed his iniquitous
hands, as he read the " handsome testimonial" made by
pharisaical benevolence to aged penury !—Punch.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident occurred
on Friday last, on the departure of the night mail train
up, at the Wellington-station, to the night porter, whilst
in the act of connecting two trucks to one of the railway
carriages. The trucks were on another part of the line,
and as the train was returning to take up the trucks, the
man, standing in a position to link them together, was
crushed between the two, and the lamp projecting behind
came in contact with his arm and forced it into his side,
breaking in his ribs, forcing his lungs out of place, and
causing instantaneous death. The man has left a wife
with three young children.— Western Luminary.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—An inquest was held on
Thursday, before Mr. Carttar, at the Lady of the Village,
Charles-street, Deptford, on the body of Frances Hamp-
ton, who committed suicide by drowning herself in a
pond of stagnant water near to her dwelling. The de-
ceased, since the death of her mother, has acted as
housekeeper to her father, who has a large family, and
who allowed her 245. per week to keep house ; but, in
consequence of her being very much behind hand with
the landlord and some of the tradesmen in the neigh-
bourhood, which she feared would come to her father's
ears, she had of late become much dejected, and had ex-
pressed to some of her neighbours that she was deter-
mined "to put an end to it." Having been always of a
cheerful disposition, no notice was taken of the matter.
On Saturday night last, about eleven o'clock, after hay •
ing been to market, she again went out, as her family
thought, to some neighbour's house, but not having re-
turnedwhen a tn
on
athnenhfomlled following morning
her theybody
in became

The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased was
found drowned, but there was no evidence to prove ley
whAt means she got into the water.'!
THE MELLOW WlNE.—Wine, either in bottle or
w )od, will mellow much quicker when only covered with
pieces of bladder well secured, than with corks or bungs.
The bladder allows the watery particles to escape, but
impervious to alcohol.—Medical Times.

SPIRIT of th.. 3 PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLuBE.—In that splendid gallery of illustrious
contemporary portraits, which Sir Robert Peel, it seems,
is getting up at Tamworth, Sir Robert himself appears
destined to walk-as the La4t (official) Man. When he
treads the polished and slippery floor, amidst the shades
of victims and martyrs of Peel policy, the bulk of Buck-
ingham will seem to lower on the betrayer ef law-fenced
agriculture ; and the smoother image of Gladstone will
confront him, as the false fleeting perjured son of the
Church. In our opinion, Mr. Gladstone consults well for
his reputation by quitting office; and we would not wil-
lingly say a word to detract from an individual reputation
which we consider honourable. We do not think Mr.
Gladstone span of very great intellectual clearness or
decision—qualities in which time may improve him—
habits of official sophistry certainly would not. But
his readiness of talent, and range of accomplishments,
are unquestionable—as is his loss to the present
Ministry. lo himself temporary retirement at least
from prominent public action appears to us a very clear
and decided gain. He was in one of those false posi-
tions, in which he must have sacrificed either success or
principle ; and it is impossible not to applaud him
tor adhering in conduct to sentiments which reason has
not as yet taught him to relinquish. Certainly we be.-
lieve such sentiments cannot hold power in these times ;
but a man who, like Mr. Gladstone, attache& positive
value to any institutions—however these , may require
improvement—is not now to be every day met with ;
and certainly we think such men. are wanted to plead
the cause c f permanence. while—changes are in progress.
That Mr. Gladstone's Church views mislead him poli-
tically, is indeed our opinion. We have good authority
for believing that it is those views, as regards Ire-
hied, which he considers compromised by the actual and
prospective course of the Ministry he has quitted. In
leaving office he th( refore acts as becomes the represen
tative of opinions, vvi.ich he acquired distinction origi-
nally by advocating, and which he still advocates in
writing with distinction. We would have those prins
ciples represented by all means, with whatever force and
effect they may. Time will loosen the hold of all that
is rationally untenable, whether in institutions, or in
the minds of those educated in their bosom ; but we
have no objection to hear the highest claims able men
can advance for them ; and we should feel sincere con-
cern in seeing such men forsake even prejudice for
ambition. Ine the meanwhile, these splits about Irish
Churchmanship are a curious spectacle; and still more
si gular is the spectacle of a Ministry which loses
Gladstone on their account, and keeps Stanley and
Graham. Can none remember, yes we know all must,
when the mere whiff and wind of that fell sword which
threatened to retrench surplus temporalities, if shown to
be such, struck both these scrupulous statesmen—con-
science-struck them out of the first Melbourne Ministry.
.Can none remember when the party now in power op-
posed an equal municipal system for Ireland—because,
forsooth, popular municipalities might indirecty endanger
an unpopular Church 1 So sensitively averse were they
from permitting the levelling of the most distant civil out-
works of that establishment. And now Mr. Gladstone's
retirement tells us that their measures threaten the body of
the place! The Post puts a somewhat important practical
question for the Last Man of the Peel era. " How does
the Premier expect to get on in the House of Commons?
Is he to take all the important speaking on the Ministe-
rial side to himself ? His chief assistants were Mr.
Gladstone, Lord Stanley, and Sir J. Graham. The first
retires, the second is gone to the House of Lords—the
third, indeed, remains, and a very clever speaker he is in
Opposition, where the object is to wound, but a very dan-
gerous assistant on the Ministerial bench. Besides, he
is an extremely unpopular man, and almost everything
he says is received with more or less of prejudice. Urn
less, then, the Premier take all the important speaking
to himself, what is to be done ? Say that Sir Robert is
a match for Lord John and Lord Polinersten, will he
think it safe to turn over Lord Howick, and Sir George
Grey, and Mr. Macaulay, and Mr. C. Wood. and Mr.
Vernon Smith, and the rest, to the replying abilities of
Mr. Herbert and Lord Lincoln ?"
STANDARD.—At the bottom of the sixth column of
the fourth page of this day's Times, interposed between the
quotations of the Spanish and the Prussian Stock Ex-
changes, respectively, we find the following para-
graph :
" MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS.—We are informed
that we were premature in announcing yesterday Mr.
Cardwell's accession to the office of Vice-President of
the Board of Trade. Mr. Cardwell will, however, take
office under the present Administration."
This is the way in which the Times retracts on
Friday a misstatement, published with all possible pre-
tension and display, in its first leading article of the day
before. Why is our Contemporary so bashful when it
has to tell the truth?—modesty is not usually its fault.
The fact, we believe to be, that beyond Sir Thomas
Fremantle's appointment nothing is settled, though
there is too much reason to fear that Mr. Gladstone
may retire from the Administration, but certainly
not from the Conservative party. Should Mr. Glad-
stone retire, the step will be altogether from his own
choice, and it will be an occasion of deep regret to all his
colleagues. We have seen in some of the journals
various motives assigned for the Right Hon. Gentle-
man's withdrawal from office, but not one of them, we
believe, even approaches to the truth. At the risk of
passing for uninformed, we shall be at present silent ;
because we will not let go the hope that the able and
eloquent Vice-President of the Board of Trade may
be prevailed upon to continue to give his services to
the country. In speaking of Sir Thomas Fremantle's
appointment, we cannot forego the pleasure of print-
ing the following tribute from the Morning Chro-
nicle, as honourable to the writer as to its object:—
" We must not omit this occasion of expressing our ap-
proval of the choice of Sir Thomas Fremantle as Secretary
for Ireland. While Sir R. Peel is limited to selection from
the Tory party, he can find no one whose good sense, libe-
rality, and courtesy more fit him for the post. We shall,
indeed, be disappointed if Sir Thomas Fremantle should
prove unworthy of our favourable auguries." The Herald
truly says that the promotion of Sir Thomas " is admitted
by all to be an appointment, than which none better could
be made," and the testimony of the Morning Chronicle
supports the statement. Sir Thomas is a man of. great
ability, in whatever department his duty calls him to,
and, besides this, he is one of those made to be loved and
respected by all who come within his sphere.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, J. SO.
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. CARTER.
The particulars of this case were stated is our paper
of yesterday. The defendant has pleaded guilty to two
indictments, charging him with having, under colour of
his office as an Excise officer in Montgomeryshire and
Merionethshire, extorted and obtained by false pretences
divers small sums of money from several humble persons
there, upon the ground that they required licenses in
circumstances where they were not required by law.
The indictment also charged the defendant with having
forged and fabricated licenses, which he gave to the par-
ties in exchange for the money. Ile had been brought
up for judgmi,nt yesterday, but the case was then ad-
journed until this morning, when
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL prayed the sentence of tho
Court upon him.
Mr. Justice PA.TTESON then addressed the prisoner,
and dwelt upon the serious nature of the crime which he
had committed, in extorting money from several poor
persons under colour of his office, and proceeding further
to the perpetration of forgery, for which he was liable in
law to the punishment of transportation. The Court,
however, did not think it necessary to inflict this extreme
penalty, and should only sentence the prisoner to 18
months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
As the indictment consisted of nine counts, but only
of four distinct offences—some of the offences being
charged in different forms in different counts—the judg-
ment of the Court was delivered in respect of each count,
it being in each case expressed that the 18 months to
which the defendant was sentenced upon each count
were all to commence upon the same day.
IN THE MATTER OF CARUS WILSON.
Mr:'KELLT showed cause against the rule obtained
by the Solicitor-General for setting aside the writ of
habeas corpus which had been granted in this case by
Mr. Baron Rolfe. The Learned Counsel observed, that
although various objections had been originally made to
the writ, he should now only argue the question how far
the Learned Baron had the power to issue the present
writ under the seal of the Court of Queen's Bench, and
make it returnable in this Court. After the argument
which had taken place upon the other rule, he should
now take fur granted as universally conceded that this
and erery other court in Westminster-hall had the power
to issue writs of habeas corpus into the island of Jersey;
neither should he enter into any discusston at present
upon Ow merits of the case which had been brought
forward upon affidavits which the applicant had ao op-
portunity to answer. If the Court thought that these
matters should be discussed upon the present occasion,
he (Mr. Kelly) hoped that their Lordships would oblige
the Royal Court of Jersey to state them upon the return,
in order that they might be traversed by Mr. Wilson,
and that an opportunity might be afforded for delibe-
rately examining the state of the facts.
Lord DENMAN here, addressing the Solicitor-General,
inquired whether he was now in a condition to under-
take that Mr. Wilson's prison doors would be thrown
open, and that he would be allowed to walk out ?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that, in answer to his
Lordship's question, he could only say, as he had said
before, that if his rule were allowed to be made absolute
he firmly believed that no obstacle would be placed in
the way of Mr. Wilson's release.
Lord DEN3tAii said that he had hoped that since the
case had been last before the Court, th
ral would have been toantherisede give Court
dertaking upon the subject.ue Solicitor-Gene-
If th

gaol, for the pu.rposeontfraising the question of the lega-
lity of his imprisonment.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the Royal Court
of
.Jersey had offered to admit Mr. Wilson to bail, but
that he rejected the offer.
Mr. KELLY. said that it was plain that the Royal Court
of Jersey were tamperir.g with a subject of such im-
mense importance as the liberty of the lubject. If the
Royal Court really intended to restore Mr. Wilson to
his liberty, they ought to have at once thrown open his
prison doors.
The SouciToß-GENERAL said that they could not do
so until the wri!, Ivtg quashed.
Mr. .1;:-czur scud that he shout:; not give any consent
to such a procei ding, but go on at once to the objections
which were made to the writ.
Lord DENMAN observed that the objection to the writ
was, that it was void upon the face of it.
Mr. I‘ELLY understood such to be the objection, and
119 slum d confine himself altogether to th,A point. The
Leatuea counsel thou proceeded to support the validity

of the writ under two general heads : first, that the
Cour* itsf if would have the power to issue the ‘‘rit, and
that as the statue of Victoria had placed each of the
individual judges upon the same footing as any of the
Courts themselves with regard to all matters which might
be done by any of those Courts, and that as Mr. BarOn
Rolfe had the power to issue the writ out of this Court,
he could only have done it, as he had done, wirier the
seal of this Court, awl not under that of the Court to
which the Learned Baron himself belonged. The other
general head of argument was of a preliminary charac-
ter ; and under this head the Learned Counsel observed,
that, as the writ which had issued was in contormity to
the order of the Learned Baron, the writ itself could not
be quashed as long as the order subsisted. Supposing,
therefore, thet the Learned Baron did not poseess the
power which he had actually exercised, the only proper
course of proceeding was not to apply to the Court for
rule to quash the writ quia iteprovide emanavit, but for
a rule to set aside the 7ortle'r for want of jurisdiction in
the Learned Baron bY•whom it was made.
Mr. PIACOCff followed upon the same side, and in re-
ference to the position which had been so often asserted,
that the island of Jersey was not bound by English Acts
of Parliament, unless particularly mentioned, he stated
that the island of Jersey was not named in the present
Regency Act any more than in the preceding Act, which
had constituted the Prince of Wales Regent during the
life of George 111. If the principle contended for were
therefore to be established without qualification, it must
follow that neither the former Regent had, nor could
any future Regent have, under the present Act, any
power by assenting to an Act of Parliament to bind
Jersey, even though named in the particular Act, as it
had not been named in the statute which created the
Regency itself.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom were Mr.
Wortley and Mr. J. W. Smith) contended, that although
Mr. Baron Rolfe even possessed the power to issue the
habeas corpus itself, yet he had no power to take pos-
session of the seal of this Court and use it at his own
discretion, in a case, moreover, where the Learned
Baron himself could do justice to the party in his own
Court, and where there was therefore no necessity for
stretching the words of the statute of Victoria to give
a power which was not required. The Learned Gentle-
man contended further that the writ of habeas corpus ad
subjiciendum did not issue into Jersey at all. But the ar-
guments upon both sides upon this point, as well as in-
deed upon every other, consisted of a reproduction of
some part of the discussion which took place upon the
former occasion.

After a short consultation between the members of the
Court,

Lord DENMAN said that it was possible that they
should be obliged to dispose of this case upon the ground
of the technical objection to the writ—a ground upon
which a case of such a nature ought hardly to be dis-
posed of. They wculd, however, mention it again to-
morrow.

TUE QUEEN U. BARNARD GREGORY.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD appeared in this case upon
the part of the Duke of Brunswick, to make an applica-
tion in respect of a rule pending upon the subject.
Mr. ettownEit, who appeared for the defendant, said
that the brief which had been formerly held by Mr.
Baron Platt had been so recently delivered to him (Mr.
Crowder) that he had not time to prepare for the discus-
sion of the case.
The COURT thought it better that the rule should be
enlarged.

JANUARY 31.
IN THE MATTER OF CHAS. CARUS WILSON.--JUDGMENT.
Lord iiENMAN, in delivering the judgment of the
Court in this case, said that it was now admitted on all
sides that a writ of habeas corpus would run into the
island of Jersey, and whatever inconvenience might
arise from it, the Court would not decline to exercise ita
right in behalf of any person who might require it. The
priecipal question, therefore, in this case, depended on
the peculiar circumstances attending it. The first ques-
tion was, had the Learned Baron (Baron Rolfe) power
to issue the writ, and that he had such power they were
convinced by the arguments in this case. Another ques-
tion was whether, as the affidavits appeared to be entitled in
the Exchequer, a Baron of that Court had the power of
issuing the writ and making it returnable into the Court
of Queen's Bench. It appeared that at the time the ail,
plicatifn was made to the Learned Baron it was desired
that the writ should be made returnable into the Court of
Exchequer, but the Learned Baron thought it better to
make it returnable inio the Court of Queen's Bench, and
this Court were of opinion that the Learned Baron had
a discre', ion as to the Court where the writ would be media
returnable. But then it was said that a deception had
been practised on the Learned Baron when the applica-
tion was made, inasmuch as it was not stated to hint that
the person on whose behalf the application was made was
imprisoned for a contempt of the Royal Court of Jersey;
which fact, if it had come to his knowledge, would have
prevented him from granting the writ, or at all events
that he would have only granted a rule nisi. If the
Court were satisfied that a fraud had been practised it
might induce them to quash the writ, but there was not
sufficient before them to induce them to come to the con-
clusion that a fraud was intended. Mr. Wilson was an
English lawyer, and he might have thought that a war-
rant for his committal was necessary and that the warrant.
if there was any, was refused to be shown to him. They
had then to consider whether the writ was to be set
aside, because the circumstances of the case were not
laid before the Learned Baron, which might have prevented
him from granting the writ. The Court did
not intimate any opinion that a previous inquiry
would be wrong where there was reasonable
ground for supposing that the party had been impri-
soned under the sentence of the Court. On the con-.
trary, if they thought: such a course would be desirable,
because the Judko would then see whether there ought
only to be a rule • nisi, but this was an application to
quash a writ which had actually gone forth, and they knew
from the Masters of the Court that the practice was to
have a return made to the writ, end that was the most
convenient course—the most just to the party applying,
and most in conformity with the great object which the
Constitution had in view, in allowing this writ. They
did not think, therefore, that they would be justified it%
setting aside the writ, and the consequence was, that the
rule must be made absolute, and a return made to the
writ.—The return was then ordered to be made within
ten days.

'VAN SANDON U. TURNER.
The plaintiff in this case had been committed by the
order of Sir G. Rose, one of the judges of the Court of
Review, for publishing in the face of the Court and else-
where a scandalous handbill. The case was lately argued
before the Court upon a special demurrer. The objec-
tions taken were, that it did not appear that Sir G.
Rose was a Judge of the Court of Review, when he
ordered the arrest of the plaintiff, and that a single
Judge could not cause any person to be arrested by his
own individual warrant for the offence stated.
Lord DEsmAN now pronounced the judgment of th•
Court, and gave judgment for the plaintiff on both
points.

BAIL COURT, Jan. 31.
(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAZIS.)
Nothing of the least general interest came before the
Court during the course of the morning.

ARCHES COCJR7; Jan. Sl.
(Before Sir lIERBIIIIT JENNER FUST.)
FAULUNER U. LITCLIFIELD AND OTHERS.
In this case the Learned Judge pronounced his deci-
sion this morning.
It was an appeal from the decision of the Chancellor
of the diocese of Ely. The case has been several times
before the public. The dispute related to the erection
of a stone altar and credence table in the church of the
Holy Sepulchre, at Cambridge. The altar had been
erected by the churchwardens and parishionrs, aided by
the Cambridge Camden Society, without the consent of
the incumbent. On this account the latter opposed the
issuing of the faculty by the Chancellor of the
diocese ; but that Rev. Gentleman, assisted
by an assessor from Doctors' Commons, decreed in its
favour. Against that decision an appeal was brought to
this Court, and the case was argued at length in the last
term.

The Learned JUDGE commenced by referring to the
pleadings iu the cause, which he read at considerable
length. Restated, in his preliminary remarks, that he had
received several letters upon the subject ; some of these
containing references, intended to assist him in obtain-
ing information bearing upon this question, and for such
letters he felt obliged ; but other letters which had
been forwarded to him pointed out what would be the
result of any decision to which ho might come ; and
these he could not but regard as an improper interfer-
ence with the high functions which he was called
upon to discharge. He then proceeded to quote
the opinions of various Roman Catholic writers.
for the purpose of showing what in their
view constituted an altar. It was essential that is
should be of stone and immoveable ; and that was given
as the description of the altar in question. Now, it wag
advisable t- see what changes were made in this respect
at the period cf the Reformation, and to trace
what had been the impression in reference to
it from that time down to the present. There
was in tho early part of that
reign an express in-
junction, or rather exhortation, issued to the church..
wardens, by royal authority, to set up a table, and no
longer the altar formerly used,. and the purpose of this
exhortation was to remove ancient superstitions from the
minds of the people. Bishop Ridley, in his visitation,
issued injunctions to the same effect. These injunctions'
were at first confined to the diocese of London and
were not to be considered as having effect in
any other. But it appeared that an order of council was
issued on the same subject ; and on the 19th of Novem
ber, 1530, letters were sent to eyery. bishop enjoining
him to pluck down the altars in his diocese. . The order
that , the and specific,. especially charg-
ingin council was very strong

part
should serve fur the administration of the blessed com-
munion.p There were also sent to every bishop the con-
siderations on which that order had been founded. In
the year 1550, a general order was given for the removal
of all altars, and the setting up of a table as more proper;
from which time tables were used throughout the kingdom
in the administration of the sacrament. Now such were the
alterations which took place in the short reign of Edward.
the Sixth, and they were important, as being the found&-
tion of all subsequent proceedings. At this period a
moveable table of wood was substituted for the altar
previously used. In the reign of Mary things were
restored to the state in which they had been in the latter
years of the reign of Edward the Sixth. Altars were again
erected, and cont.nued to be used in the administra-
tion of the sacrament. As soon as Elizabethi suc-
ccet,ded to the throne, one of the first and most imports
ant acts of her reign was the repeal of those Acts or
Philip and Mary which had repealed the former Acts
of Edward the Sixth ; and the mode of administering i

THE LATE FATAL EXPLOSION
AT MANCHESTER.
The inquest on the bodies of the three unfortunate
men who were killed by the already accident announced
in our journal, was held on Thursday before the
borough Coroner, Mr. Chapman, and a respectable jury.
The accident has, of course, created a great deal of ex-
citement in the neighbourhood. The shock appears to
have been tremendous, as it was felt, and created consi-
derable alarm, at a distance of more than 500 yards from
the spot. After the jury had assembled and visited the
scene of the accident, the first witness examined was
Joseph Clarke, of No. 8, Allen-street, who deposed as
follows:—I am an engine-fitter. Yesterday morning I
arrived on the bank about a quarter before six o'clock.
I met Wm. Stones on the bank, and then entered the
new engine shed, in which the accident happened. Jones
was the night inspector. At the time we entered the
shed Mills was under the Irk engine, in the pit. All-
cock was examining the engine glands on the right-hand
side of the engine. I said to them, "You are at it," and
Mills said, " Yes' we are." At that moment the three
deceased were all about the engine. At the same time
the Stanley engine came in at the other end of the
shed. Before I reached the Stanley engine, which was
not more than 20 yards off, I heard a loud report, which
I thought at the moment was occasioned by the
bursting of a steam-pipe. I went out at the end of
the shed at which the Stanley was, not being able
to get the other way, en aecount of the great quantity of
smoke and fire which was flying about there. I shortly
went to the end where the accident had occurred, and
found that the shed was in ruins. I returned to the end
from which I came, and obtained a light, with a view of
searching for the bodies, knowing that some of our men
were under the engine. When I first saw the engine
the tender was attached to it, ready for starting. As
soon as I found a light, I went to the place where the
Irk had been standing. The engine was not where I
first saw it, anal the tender was covered with the ruins,
near where it before stool The whole of the roof for
about twenty-one yards had been blown away. I found
the engine on the pit at the opposite side of the shed,
lying reversed on its broadside. On examining the en-
gine, I found that the fire -box top had been rent at three
sides, and drawn upon the fire-bars. I found George
Mills under the fire-box end, and William Allcock under
the smoke-box end. Stones where lying on the flags,
on the right side of the shed, with a wooden beam across
his body. He was about seven yards from the engine.
Allcock and Mills were carried a distance of twenty
yards, and Stones was in the same place I left him.
When I found them they were all dead. Mills, when
found, was lying with his head on the rails, and the
boiler upon it, his head being crushed and his skull laid
open. Allcock was sitting on the rails with his feet
hanging into the pit, and the smoke-box on his back. I
have been in the service of the Company five years. The
whole of the deceased were steady men, and well ac-
quainted with their business. Mills had been in the Com-
pany's service five years. Allcock and Stones about the
same time. The engine and tender were on the line
when I fist went. The Irk was always considered a
very good engine, and has been constantly at work, ex-
cept when undergoing a few slight repairs.
A juror—l wish to ask whether the witness saw that
part of the boiler which has been carried away since
the accident? Witness—l did not. The engine had
been repaired about last Friday, and had been working
on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last. It was tried on
the Friday. Since repaired, it has bad two trips to
Leeds and back with passengers, and was abont to make
a third that morning with a passenger train. I had
never seen anything the matter with it. It was consi-
dered all tight and trustworthy. No repairs had been
done to the fire-box or steam-chamber. I had examined
them on Wednesday last, and found them all right. She
had been under repairs about two months. It is my duty
to examine all engines before they go out.
By the Foreman—When I entered the shed in the
morning the steam was not escaping from the valves. I
did not see in what state the valves were, being at the
other side of the engine; but, from what I could see, the
valves were all right. The men work by contract, and
it is very common for them to keep the steam as low as
they can, in order to save the coke, which is weighed
out to them. On the day before the accident, I saw the
steam from the same engine blowing off. She was
piloting at the time. I think the diameter of the valves
is about three inches and a half. This is the inside
of the valve. We generally work those engines at
about 601 b. pressure to the square inch. The spring
balance is one of Salter's fiat-sided. I cannot say
whether the valves were overweighted, but I believe they
were the same as the day before. I cannot say what was
the cause of the accident, but I believe the man who was
getting up the steam was complaining of the difficulty of
getting it up. There are two valves on the engine, one
of which is a locked valve. Neither of the valves has
been removed by the aceident, and I examined them
shortly afterwards, before any person had interfered with
them. The studs of the locked valve were broken, and
the valve partly open. The other was closed, but the
studs of the spring and lever were broken off. I believe
they were broken by the explosion, and were not the
cause of it, unless they were improperly weighted. The
lever was found close to the engine, and nothing was at-
tached to it but the pin that weighted down the valve.
By a juror—The effect of contracts with the men
would not induce the engineer to keep heavy fires, but
just the reverse, unless they are at work with the engines,
and then they keep no heavier fires than they can do with.
Their interest in the contract is to save fuel. They are
paid a certain sum per mile, out of which they have to
pay for their own fuel, oil, and tallow. They have also
to pay their own firemen.
)r another juror—lf the valves had been in the same
condition they
,were in the day before, the explosion
could not have taken place, as the steam would have
passed through the valves. We seldom see steam blow
off from the contract engines. When I examined the
valves, after the explosion, there appeared to be nothing
the matter that would cause the accident.
By the Foreman—l am not aware that he (Stones)
had been absent during the whole night. Ile told me
that he had examined the engine, and that it was all
right, as were also all the other steam-engines.
By a juror—lt frequently happens that when the en-
gineers are starting with a heavy load, they put their
hand on the spring balance valve to prevent the steam
from escaping, and this enables them to start better ;
but they cannot get at the lock up valve, which, if in

to this conclusion from the appearance of the metal,

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE )
After the disposalof few cases of felony, in which
a
there appeared no feature of general interest, the Court
proceeded to dispose of appeal and misdemeanant cases.
THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—This was an appeal
on the Part of the inhabitants of Chiswick against a de-
cision of J. T. Pratt,
Esq., concerning the right of the
Horticultural Society
to pay rates.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the appellants, and Mr.
Bodkin for the respondents.
It appeared the society claimed to be exempted under
the 6th and 7th of Victoria, the Act under which the
society was incorporated, from the payment of the usual
parish rates in Chiswick, where they possessed the well-
known botanical grounds.
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that, upon look-
ing over the Act of Incorporation, and giving it his most
serious consideration, as to whether there was anything
contained in its clauses which would bring it within the
liabilities of those societies which distributed a beneficial
dividend, he was of opinion that the society was not in-
cluded in the description.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—
Thursday morning an accident occurred upon this line
of railway that will probably be attended with a fatal
result. A goods train left Paddington at half-past four
o'clock in the morning, and stopped at the West London
junction at Wormwood Scrubs, to attach another car-
riage. One of the guards named Horatio Nelson Tol-
verney, descended for the purpose of attaching the con-
necting chain or driving bar, and imprudently ventured
in between the train and the stationary truck whilst the
former was in the act of backing into the " siding" where
that truck stood. The consequence of such an impru-
dent step was, that as the man stooped to adjust the
chain, his head became jammed between the buffers of
the last truck in the goods train and the stationary one.
The unfortunate man dropped instantly. He was picked
up immediately in a senseless state, with the blood
pouring from his ears. A messenger was instantly
dispatched to the terminus for a eab, and, on its arrival,
the poor fellow was taken to St. George's Hospital,
where, upon examination, it was ascertained that he had
received a severe fracture at the base of the skull, and
the injury was considered of so extensive a nature that
his recovery was thought uncertain.
SOIREE TO MR. SPENCER HALL.—On Wednesday
evening, a soiree in honour of this gentleman, who has
been delivering a course of lectures in the principal
towns of the North, took place at the Northumberland
Arms Hotel, North Shields, which was attended by
several medical gentlemen and other influential inhabi-
tants of the neighbourhood. A. Meggitt, Esq., M.D.,
presided, surrounded by Messrs. Stephens and M'Kinloy,
surgeons; Mr. W. Walker, J. Scott, Esq., J. Lister, Esq.,
Mr. G. Bradley, editor of the Sunderland Herald, Mr.
Blackwood, Mr. S. Sutherland, ironmonger, of South
Shields, who had been successfully operated upon in
public by Mr. Hall on the preceding evening, &c., &c.
J. Owen, Esq , surgeon, of Tynemouth, occupied the
vice-chair. After the cloth was drawn, the Chairman
proposed the health of their guest, which was drank in
an enthusiastic manner. Mr. Hall responded, in an able
and feeling spech. Several other toasts were drank,
and speeches delivered by different gentlemen, especially
referring to the progress which mesmerism has made in
this district, and the extraordinary cures which have
been effected through its instrumentality. Mr. Hall left
on the following morning for Sheffield and London.
ESUICIDB IN A WATER-BUTT.—On Thursday Mr.
Baker held an inquest at the Hope, Pollard's-row, Beth-
nal-green, on the body of Edward Knight, aged 36, a
greengrocer, of Bethnal-green road. It appeared in
evidence that deceased had been in a desponding state
from ill health fur the last three weeks, and that a few
days since his medical adviser toid him be had the small-
pox. This information caused him to faint, and his
despondency increased. On Monday morning his wife
missed him from bed, and on raising an alarm, a neigh-
bour, named Alexander, came, and after some search
found him in the water-butt, in the yard, head foremost.
Mr. Jones, a surgeon, was called in, and tried in vain to
restore animation. Verdict—Temporary Insanity,

LlGErnous ROBBERIES.—(From a Correspondent.)
—About a fortnight ago a lad came with a message .or
the nursemaid, requesting her to send a certain shawl
she had back by the bearer, who stated he was sent by
her mother for the shawl, naming her address. She did
not give it to him, but said she would see her mother
about it. Shortly afterwards the boy came back, and
said her mother could not wait, but she must send it, as
she was in a hurry. It was not delivered, and the girl
found, on making inquiry, that it was merely an impu-
dent attempt at robbery. On Thursday afternoon a si-
milar circumstance occurred, when, after delivering the
article to the boy, I detained him, and sent for a police.
man. When the policeman arrived the boy began to-
cry, and said he had nothing to do with it, and named
two other boys who were waiting in a neighbouring
street, who bad sent him. One of them was to en, when

and said, " Yes, Sir, they attempted to get a shawl in

to the station-house in Blackhorse-court, Fleet-street.

DEATH OF A DRUNKEN DWARF.-011 Thursday
Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Royal Crown, Rat-
cliffe-highway, on the body of John Coggan, aged fifty-
five, a dwarf, and inmate of St. Georges-in-the-East
workhouse. Deceased was only forty -four inches hiO,
and formerly used to be exhibited at fairs, &c., throu4,ll,li
the country. Smaller competitors rendered him no at-
tractive curiosity, and for years he had been an inmate
of the above workhouse. Whenever he left it for a holi-
day he was sure to return intoxicated. He went out
on Sunday last, and returned in the evening extremely
drunk. About four o'clock next morning he complained
ofinternal pain, was promptly attended to by Ma
Wilson, the workhouse surgeon, but he gradually sank,
and died on Tuesday morning. Verdict, " Satura:,
death, accelerated by excessiTe drinking."

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—The Clare Journal re-
cords the melancholy death of a little boy who, on Tues-
day last, followed the gentlemen of the Clare hunt for a
-long way on foot, attracted by the excitement, and plea-
sure of the chase. Ile travelled so far from home, how-
ever, that getting fatigued and losing his way, he lay
down in a field when night came on. There he lay the
entire night, exposed to all the inclemency of the weather.
Next morning he was found still alive, but whilst being
conveyed to a•place for proper treatment and care, he
expired in the arms of the persons who were taking
charge of him.
