Lord Duncan, who has done everything in his
power in investigating the case, succeeded yesterday
in discovering Duff's hat, which was found near the
place where the unfortunate man says he was com-
pelled to throw it away. The shoes of both the par-
ties were taken out to the place. WlCenzie's are
remarkably large, while Duff's are quite the reverse.
At the break in the wall, where they entered the
wood, and for some distance before, the marks in the
potatoe field distinctly correspond with the size of the
shoes of both parties.
On Sabbath evening M'Kenzie was taken mit to
the cottage, in order to be identified by Duff. Sheriff
Henderson, Lord Duncan, and other officials, as also
the medical gentlemen attending him, were present-
(/' Duff being asked if that was the man who shot at
him, he distinctly said it was.
M(Kenzie i 3 a married man with a numerous fa—
mily. He is apparently about 50 years of age. Since
the occurrence Mr. Duff has lingered in the house
which he first reached, and little if any hope has beeni
entertained of his recoverv--indeed, the latest reports;
lead us to believe that it is almost impossible his lib
can be preserved.—Scotsman.

DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOSION;
SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 19.--An occurrence of an
awful description took place at Middlesborough des.
terday (Tuesday, 18th) morning, at a quarter past
nine o'clock, the steam-boiler belonging to the iron
manufactory (principally used for making rails for
railroads) of Mosirs. I3ulcho and Co. exploding, which
blew the roof of the building up, and, sad to relate,
the principal part fell upon the ituen at work, where,
they had just arrived from breakfast.
About 100 men are eatployed, but to my latrgt in.
formation it could ;lot b® stated 'how many were on

it will be the earliest.

What is above stated may be relied upon ; other
exaggerated accounts were in circulation, but I proved
them from conversation with various parties to be er-
roneous. I have handed you nothing more than I
consider will be found correct. 'The same manufac-
tory had an explosion about six months since, when
one life only was lost; what it may be now, time will
shortly show, It is the general opinion that the en-
gine was working beyond its power, which caused
the boiler to explode.
Middlesborough is a town on the south bank of the
river Tees, about four miles from Stockton ; the two
towns are connected by railway.

DEATII OF LORD EDWARD PELHAM CLINTON.—
We exceedingly regret to state that intelligence was
received at Clumber, on Tuesday morning last, of
the death of Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, fifth
son of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, in the
Chinese Empire. His Lordship was born on the
18th February, 1816 ; went out to that part of
the world about a year ago, and was recent)
promoted to a Lieutenancy. The full particular
of this melancliiel,ly event have not transpired
but we cannot dvoid deeply sympathising with his
bereaved parent and relations ; and in this feeling, we
are sure, numbers will participate in the neighbour-
hood of Retford, who knew and approved of the mauls
virtues of this noble scion of a family who was inuci)
and deservedly respected by a numerous circle of
friends and admirers.—Doncaster Gazette.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 18.—The Second Chamber of
the States-General met yesterday. M. Van Dam,
President during the first session, took the chair, and
appointed two Committees to examine the re-election
and the election of the new Members. The Committee
having made their Reports, the Chamber proceeded
to chose by ballot their candidates for the office of
President during the session. The choice fell on M.
Gevers, M. Lugben, and Van Dam van Isselt. The
Chamber then adjourned.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—W. Vale, Esq., of
hall Court, Mathon, om Tuesday morning suddenly-
fell from a chair in his own house, and instantly ex •
pired. The deceased gentleman had arisen that morn
ing to breakfast in his usual health, and had been out
with his fruit-pickers; on the previous day he had
attended the County Sessions at llereford. Imme-
diately on the occurrence of the accident, a neigbour-
ing gentleman, who was called in, opened a vein, but
it was unattended with any success.— Worcester
Journal.

THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.—Yesterday being
the anniversary of the victory obtained by the immor-
tal Nelson over the combined fleets of France and
Spain, off Cape Trafalgar, on the 21st of October,
1805, the Victory, lying in Portsmouth Harbour as
the ordinary guard-ship, exhibited, upon the occa-
sion, a scene of extreme interest. The vessel was
decked throughout with flags and other naval insignia,
and a profusion of laurels and evergreens, which im-
parted to her a very imposing appearance. A
grand dinner was given on board, at which the
Admiral presided in person, and, the muster of
that officer was held on that especial day. A.
general invitation to dinner also was issued to
all the officers of the ships in commission in the
harbour. The animation that pervaded the crew
upon the occasion, and the enthusiasm manifested by
the very few who fought by Nelson's side when he so
gloriously fell in the arms of victory, are well worthy a
description from the pen of some naval historian. There
are still surviving on board the Victory two of the
brave fellows who shared in the glories of which to-
day is the anniversary. William Booth, the boat-
swain's mate, who at the battle of Trafalgar was one
of Nelson's boys in the ward-room, and Philip Bar-
row, who fought by the ninth gun on the main
deck, are still old seamen on board. There are also
several others, who have since been appointed to the
Victory from the Royal Sovereign and other ships,
which were engaged in the above memorable action.
Among them is Mr. Hughes, the gunner, and Mr. Cator,
the additional acting-master. All the men who stood the
• brunt on the 21st October, 1805, belonging to the dif-
ferent ships in the harbour, dined on board the Victory
on this celebrated day, and were allowed grog ad libi-
tum to keep alive those patriotic feelings which the
immortal hero of the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafal-
gar inspired his men with on the day of his death,
and which are still recorded in the memorable words
he signalled throughout the British fleet upon
the Caain's -rooms, and upon a gar
that occasion, and which are stamped upon
t the poop,
diately belo thestate figure-head, viz “;—, Engiand expects
ermme

that every man will do his duty."
BRIGHTON, OCT. 20.--THE COLTRT.—We a week

and Mr. Saunders, Inspector of Palaces, at her
Majesty's Pavilion, and drew an inference from the

Mr. Henry. Saunders, Inspector of Palaces, arrived
late last night, and Mr. Ph'

superintending some alterations in the Royal nursery;
and Dr. -Reid is also down here to see that the rooms
are properly ventilated.
Instructions have been given
to get the works finished
with the utmost dispatch, as
it is fully expected that her Majesty's visit will' not be
deferred longer that the Ist of November.
EXTRAORDINART OCCURRENCE.— On Thursday, as a
foreign I) • rig was beating up the river against a strong
north-west breeze and with the tide, just above Green-
wich Hospital, she was driven, whilst endeavouring
to avoid some ballast barges, in collision with the bows
of the Dreadnought Seaman's Hospital ship. She,_ in
order to prevent the accident, let go her anchor.
which got fouled by the haWser of another vessel.
The fore topsail of the brig caught the well-known
lion figure head of the Dreadnought, forced him off his
legs, and capsized him overboard into the stream,
leaving his tail behind. The carcase was sucked
alongside the Dreadnought. The tail, during the
confusion, rolled from the bows through the chains
and nearly drifted away. The damage done was
about Si. or 61. This king of the forest had recently
had a new coating of gold, which, upon his being
hauled upon deck, was discovered to have been much
injured by the fall. It measures nine feet from stem
to stern, and is about 16 hands high.
It will have been observed by our readers that two
lunatics have recently escaped 11.0111 Bethlehem. One
was fortunately found ; but it is understoo d that the
other is secreted somewhere, and is now writing lea
ing articles for the Morning Herald. His disdness
is
happily of an extremely mild and by no m ansdan-
gerous character.—Punch.
