FR 031 OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

Monday Morning.
THE WHITSI:N FESTIVAL, that Christian resting-tide for
the sons of toil, has come and gone. The great, the noble,
and the rich,—the leaders in statesmanship, in fashion,

and in ostentatious prodigality,—have rushed down to
their beautiful country seats, snuffed the fresh air of a
morning or two, glanced at the green fields and the bud-
ding blossoms, assured themselves that they were the
possessors of their fine old territorial estates, given a few
general orders to their domestics, and then rushed back
to fume, and fret, and sweat in the smoky atmosphere of
this overgrown capital, and in this turbulent crowd of
battling ambitions, and of contentions passions. Jolly-
visaged rubicund farmers, with their buxom wives and
honest countenanced daughters, accompanied by their
rustic labourers, have flown up to town on steam-driven
wings, and trudged about the streets with a forty-horse
power of legs, from sight to sight, visiting museums and
galleries, and docks and theatres, and public buildings of all
sorts ; and then have flown back again to their corn flelds,
their poultry, and their pigs, having gone through double
the amount of actual bodily fatigue for pleasure sake,
that they would undergo at their ordinary labour, and
having exhausted their stock of small savings. Pale-faced
artisans and care-worn mechanics have moved rapidly
hither and thither in omnibuses, from east to west, from
north to south, and up and down the river in steamboats
—to Greenwich and Richmond—and have forgotten in
the excitement of the moment the hard struggle they
have to make for bare existence, and the ruinous compe-
tition they have to endure with the foreign workmen ;
and have fancied, as they sat on the decks of the little
craft, that they were sailing, like their betters, on
the storied Rhine, on the arrowy Rhone, or the
romantic Guadalquiver ; and they have returned to their
dingy workshops, their monotonous crafts, and their di-
urnal anxieties. Dainty milliners, taking a turn perhaps
out of robes intended for the proud Marchioness of Los-
DONDERRY or the imperious Countess of JERSEY, and
coxcombical shopmen sporting their flashy garments bor-
rowed for the occasion, have strutted through the parks
and public gardens, flattering themselves that they were
mistaken for the Ladies This, and the Sir Charleses That ;
and they have gone back to their needles, their counters,
and their ordinary toggery. In a word, the Whitsun holi-
day has come to a close ; it is past and gone—
•` Too like the ►ightning that cloth cease to be
Ere one can say it lightens.'"

The brief season dedicated to repose—an Englishman's
repose, which is not the dolce far niente, but a break-neck
steeple chase after something which he facetiously calls
pleasure—is dissipated ; and here we are again hemmer
and tongs at our usual vocations in the senate, in the halls
of fashion, and in the marts of manufacturing and mer-
cantile industry.
The summer month of June has set in with unaccus-
tomed severity—rain, wind, and cold, with a soupcon of
sleet; and our post-Whitsun Parliamentary campaign has
opened with more than its habitual intensity of heat,
warning us of the near approach of the dog-days. The
corporeal presence and the wild vagaries of FEARGUS
O'CONNOR were hardly wanting to bring the idea of
canine rabies palpably to all the senses of those who
" look in" at tLe House of Commons. That marauding
moss-trooper Sir JAMES' GRAHAM having snatched down
from the armoury of Netherby the famous " bright
sword" of his black-mailllevying ancestor, and having
drawn it from the rusty scabbard, has audaciously planted
himself in the foremost of the fight, has elected himself
general of the opposition forces, and has left the little
deposed militiaman of the house of BEDFORD to follow
the new leader if he will, or, if he does not choose to play
second, to retire in disgust, and leave the field to bolder
and more desperate men. Truly never was a commander-
in-chief superseded with less of ceremony—not even Sir
HARRY SmlTH—than was Lord JOHN RUSSELL on
Thursday night last by his "right honourable friend" the
baronet of Netherby. This is the literal fulfilment of
what I predicted some weeks ago. Whatever members
may enlist themselves under the Whig-Revolutionary
banner after the coming elections, it may be pretty
confidently asserted that they will not march under
the command of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The pres-
tige that attended his name once has been irrepa-
rably destroyed, and the Whigs and Radicals have
resolved to " get a new master, and have a new man."
GRAHAM IS just the boy for their purposes. He will stick
at nothing, and is a slashing swordsman, who cares little
whether be sabres an ancient comrade or rides over a
newly-made friend, so that he gains his immediate end,
and who dashes over broken pledges and shattered princi-
ples with all the reckless levity of a mocking fiend.
But will the moss-trooping Sir JEMMY be allowed to
ride into the new Parliament at all ? Let the electors of
Carlisle answer that question. Let them give as good an
account of him as the electors of the University of Oxfcrd
will give of the slippery GLADSTONE, and as the electors
of the City of London will give of Lord JOHN, and then we
may defy the threatened triumvirate of GRAHAM, Con-
DEN, and RUSSELL. Above all, let the electors of Liver-
pool give a good account of CARDWELL and EwART, and
put an end to Peelism, Popery, and political humbug in
all its moods and tenses.
The battle of the Constitution will, indeed, have to be
fought at the hustings, and that within a few weeks. On
this (Monday) evening the Chancellor of the Exchequer
will announce the bills which he intends to proceed with,
and those which he will be obliged to forego for the pre-
sent, in order to admit of early dissolution, which " gen-
tlemen opposite" were so eager, a couple of months ago,
to precipitate, but which they have taken every means in
their power, ever since, to postpone, and which very many
of them, in their secret hearts, dread as a certain notice
of their forced retirement into private life. That many
good and really pressing measures will have to be sacri-
ficed to the tyrant and most unscrupulous opposition, in
order to allow the government to redeem the pledge they
gave, cannot be doubted ; and I believe I may say that
Mr. DISRAELI will defer to another Parliament those
legal and other reforms which the government hoped to
carry this session, and will clear the way of every bill not
indispensable to the due administration of public affairs,
and for the due safety and peace of the empire. It will
then be seen who are the real obstructives—who are the
mere partizans—who are the sham representatives of the
people, that are ready to sacrifice the honour and welfare
of the country for present objects, and who devote their
talents to mischief, and not to the public good, and

"To party give that which was made for mankind."

It is to be hoped, for the character of our representative
assembly, that after this night no more of those "unseemly
brawls," those scenes of " chronic disorder," which the
Chancellor of the Exchequer reproved with so much just-
ness and dignity on Friday night last, will be witnessed
in the House of Commons, but that its end may be, like
that of a penitent sinner, resigned, modest, and decently

tranquil.
That the Maynooth inquiry debate may be permitted to
stand as it does, or, at most, that it will not be pressed
further than to-morrow (Tuesday) morning's sitting, I
think is highly probable. The government have done al
that under existing circumstances they could to bring the
question to a division, but they had no power to stop the
loquacity of Popish and infidel tongues, and it is quite
manifest that the brass band and their abettors are deter-
mined, notwithstanding their hypocritical pretences that
they seek inquiry, to " talk" till doomsday, and make
interminable motions of adjournment rather than let
the House divide on the main question. Lord JOHN
RUSSELL has promised to aid the timorous with a length-
ened "yarn ;" and REYNOLDS, and SCULLY, and
ANSTEY, and, in short, every one of the faithful children
of his Holiness PIO Noxo, has sworn to " die on the
floor" from pure exhaustion of eloquence, before
they permit the question to be put from the chair.
It is worse than useless, therefore, for Mr. SPOONER to
persist ;he has done his duty manfully—he has gained a
virtual victory—but let him leave to the unholy alliance
the shame and the unpopularity that their conduct merit.
Emigration has become a rage amongst us here : go
where you will, and in whatever society, you will hear of
Persons, the most likely and the most unlikely, the fittest
or the least fit, preparing to fly to the new Ophir—to the
Australian lands of golden dust, and richer than the
golden fleece. The auri sacra fames has seized the
young, the old, the strong, the delicate. Eastward, ho
is the cry of all who have the least portion of the spirit of
enterprise within them, and the means of setting off on
this pilgrimage in search of wealth.
" Come unto those yellow sands !"
is the invitation received in every private family from the
pioneers who have cleared the way to the diggings; and
it is an invitation that is being responded to in a way that
will astonish the world. The Exodus of the Irish to Ame-
rica was an extraordinary migration, and a great fact ; but
the Exodus of the British population to the Australian
gold fields will be a yet more extraordinary migration,
and
a much more important fact in the history of civiliza-
tion and of the human race. It is sad to say good by
e"
to
to our friends on the eve of their departure for such distant

lands. It is sad for the emigrant to leave the soil of his
birth, never to return—to be obliged to say,

"Adieu, adieu, my native shore
Fades o'er the waters blue;
The night-winds sigh, the breakers roar,
And shrieks the wild sea-mew.

Yon sun that sets unon the sea,
We follow in his flight ;
Farewell, farewell, to' him and thee,
My native land—Good night !"
But this tremendous emigration has been ordained by
Providence, and must not be stopped. Let us then cheer
and encourage those who go, and with all our heart v,ish
them good speed and happy fortunes in their adopted
home !

The poor unhappy Peace Society--one cannot help
laughing at it. The visazes of COBDEN and the other
preachers of universal brotherhood, must be ludicrously
lugubrious as they scan the morning papers, and see the
falsification of all their theories—tile demolition of all
their fond illusions. Wars in the Burman empire, wars
in Klffraria, wars in the north-west of India, prepara-
tions of wars everywhere ; increase of army and navy,
and enrolment of militia at home, threatenings and pre-
parations for hostilities abroad. Arms bristling, and
soldiers marching, and quarrels impending in the old
world and in the new. The temple of Janus shut, the
influence of Mars perceptible in every region. Verily these
prophets of universal peace have been most unlucky in their
predictions, and their late cry for general disarmaments
was the most malapropos advice ever volunteered since
the days of the famous " Wise Man of Goatum." It
reminds one of the sagacious moral reflection to be found
in the facetious " Cracker Bon-bon," viz. :
" How often in this troubled world,
Of sorrow and of sin,
Short-slit-Med man will buy his skates,
J ust as the thaw sets ill."
"Unhappy COBDEN would have us lay aside our weapons
just at the very moment when they are required for our
defence and preservation.
Tile exhibition of American plants and flowers at the
Botanical Gardens, on Saturday, was subject to most
unpropitious skyey influences, and was therefore not so
fine in quality, or so fashionably attended as it would
otherwise be. The cold, ungenial weather, has kept
everything horticultural backward, and until we get a

little of that almost mythical thing in the month of June
in England, sunshine, we cannot expect to see fruits and
flowers in their full perfection ; and more beautiful still,
groups of lovely women in their cheering summer gossamer
robes, fluttering like butterflies from blossom to blossom,
"extracting and giving odour." Nevertheless,thespecimens
of transatlantic rhododendrons and azaleas exhibited were
magnificent, and the great Berbice water-lily, Nymplieea,
was the observed of all observers. This gigantic beauty, with
its leaf large enough to protect an alderman from a showerof
rain, was not in flower, but it is the grandest specimen of
vegetation I have seen, and it is worth a journey to the
Botanical Gardens, Regent's Park, to examine its fine
form and noble dimensions. The Prince of Wales and
the Princess Royal accompanied her Majesty to the
German Plays, at St. James's Theatre, on Saturday.
This, I believe, is the first time the Prince of
Wales has gone to the theatre publicly, although
he has witnessed private performances at Astley's. Ile
has much grown and improved in looks lately, and now
seems strong and healthy. lie was not much amused by
the play, Schiller's tragedy of Don Carlos. I think it
would have been more judicious to have first brought him
to an English play—it would certainly have been more
flattering to national pride. The Princess Royal is a
beautiful child, and highly intelligent.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.

Our share market continues in much the same
inactive state in which we have described it to be
for the last two or three weeks, No resumption of
activity nor any considerable rally in prices is now
looked for, until after the elections are over. A
small amount of business for investment is at present
all that occupies the time of the gentlemen of our
stock exchange. The abundance of money, and
the few channels open to employ it, however,
promise a good harvest to come for them. Local
stocks, of every description, are much asked for,
and are bought at very high prices. We annex
this day's quotations :—Ambergate and East Junc-
tion, 11 d ; Late Chester and Birkenhead, 18;
Eastern Counties, 9; East Lancashire, 171; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 714 ; Ditto Fifths, 6-kd ;
London and North-Western, 1221 ; Ditto New
Quarters, sp; Midland, 66+ 4c 7; North British
Preference, 51; South-Eastern and Dover, 201 -;
Union Bank, 111._

The activity, which has for some weeks prevailed
in our principal markets, was not so apparent last
week, owing in part to the canvass going on through-
out the town, and the occurrence of the Whitsun-
tide holidays. The latter usual obstacle to business
will now be removed; but we can scarcely expect a
thorough revival until the elections throughout the
country are brought to a close, as most consumers
of produce, &c. will be engaged in their own
localities. The above remarks apply to nearly every
important article. With the present abundance of
money, and the prospect of continual accessions to
our stock of gold, the general impression is, that
in a few weeks we shall witness an appreciation of a
very striking character.
In SUGAR especially, of which the stocks have
become very much reduced, the demand both here
and in London seems to warrant shortly con-
siderably higher prices, although, for the present,
business is checked by the refusal of buyers to pay
those demanded. The transactions reported since
the publication of the Brokers' Circular, comprise
120 hhds. Barbadoes at 325. 6d. to 375., 140 hhds.
Antigua 345. to 375., 40 hhds. vacuum pan Deme-
rara at 325., 1700 bags Benares at 365. to 375. 6d.
and 1950 bags ditto at 36s to 375., 1700 bags brown
dates at 325., 600 mats Mauritius at 355. 3d. to 365.,
and 1800 bags brown Pernams at 17s. 3d. per cwt.
—No sales have taken place in MOLASSES or RUM.
—75 tierces Jamaica COFFEE have changed hands
at 425. to 50s. for good to fine ordinary, and SO bags
La Guayra at 50s.—The demand for all kinds of
TEA is limited. Further public sales are declared
for Thursday next.—Of RICE 400 bags Bengal
have been taken at 10s. per cwt.—There has been a
good inquiry for PIMENTO, and about 400 bags
have been sold at sd. to 51d. per lb.
COTTON.—The Cotton market during the week
has been quiet, yet the quantity sold up to Thursday
evening was 62,840 bales, of which the trade took
34,250—a fair week's consumption, speculators
20,580, and exporters 8,010, at prices slightly in
favour of the buyer. On Friday and Saturday an
increased firmness was perceptible; and 20,000
bales were sold, speculators and importers taking
9,000. The market to-day, acted upon by the
Canada's receipts, has been firm, and 12,000 bales
sold, of which 5,000 are set down for speculation
and export :
The following are the comparative prices of the

three descriptions of American " fair," as quoted

Stocks 532,190 . . 648,320 bales.
WooL.—We have been rather quiet in the Wool
market in consequence of the greater portion of the
Wool now here being held for public sales on the

9th instant. The sales closed in London on Satur-

day, and for all descriptions the advance established
at the commencement was fully maintained to the
end.

GRAIN AND FLOUR.—This article has been dull
of sale during the week, and prices generally show
a decline to the extent of id to 2d per 701bs on
Wheat, 3d to 6d per barrel on American Flour,
and 6d to 9d per 4801bs on Indian Corn. French
Flour is also dull of sale. The business was much
impeded by the circumstance of their being no
building to hold the market in, since the accident
of Tuesday.

ACCIDENT IN BIRKENHEAD PARK.— On Saturday
last, while a number of persons were passing over the
bridge across the Serpentine, Birkenhead Park, the struc-
ture fell, and the.consequence was an unexpected and
sudden immersi9n in the water, but, unr.ttended, we are
with any personal hurt.

bankrupt, who was a corn dealer in this town, applied to
the court for his certificate. After hearing Mr. Simon
for, and Mr. Townsend, solicitor, against, his honour
granted a third-class certificate, subject to two years' sus-
pension, without protection until further order.
NETHERLANDS AND HANOVER JUNCTION CANAL
COMPANY.—It is proposed, we learn, by a number of
capitalists, to form a company, the object of which is to
complete the chain of canal communication between the
Zuyderzee and Meppen, on the river Ems, in Hanover,
and to purebase about twelve thousand acres of valuable peat-field in Holland. By this project, when carried out,
more than two hundred miles of tedious and dangerous
navigation will be saved to the shipping of Hanover,

generally, but that the return of the capital invested will
be certain and more than usually profitable.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CORN-

EXCHANGE.

At about twenty minutes fu fWeiVe tt't:locis on Tuesday,
the Conservative candidates, Messrs. Turner and Mac-
kenzie, visited the Corn Exchange, and were introduced to
most of the members. They had proceeded slowly up
and down the several rows of brokers' stands, accom-
panied by Mr. T. Bold, Mr. Robert Woodward, and
occasionally a friend belonging to the trade, when, on
preparing to leave the building, the whole of the flooring
of the middle aisle gave way, carrying with it above one
hundred of the corn merchants, millers, &c., and with
them the two candidates and their friends. The con-
sternation created was immense ; and but for the cool-
ness manifested by several gentlemen, particularly by Mr.
Jonas Gleave—who were amongst those left in the two
sides of the building, a rush to get out would no doubt
have taken place, which would have produced most cala-
mitous results. At first the position of the parties thus
left appeared very precarious, the impression being na-
tural that the remainder of the arches might share the
fate of the centre ones ; and it was even feared that the
walls of the building itself might collapse, and the roof,
which is principally of iron and glass, come down upon
the parties present. A few minutes, however, removed
most of the alarm which had been felt, and the re•
appearance of the parties who had gone down with the
floor contributed to reassure all present. Shortly after-
wards a back door into the Old-ropery was opened, by
which an escape from the insecure building was provided.
Happily the floor, with its superincumbent mass, went
down easily, the whole going at once ; and after the first
alarm was over, the scene became more ludicrous than
otherwise, as the patties scrambled out, some without
hats, and all more or less betraying signs of having been
in too close proximity to the flour samples. We are
happy to say that, beyond a few bruises sustained in the
crush below or with the floor upon some of them, no
serious result occurred to any of the parties assembled in
the Corn Exchange. Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie,
who were near to the door when the accident occurred,
were amongst the first to emerge, and were uninjured.
The latter gentleman took the jokes of some of his fellow-
sufferers in great good humour. It was not known for
some minutes that any beyond the parties in the room
had suffered from the accident ; but it was at length
made known by a poor workman, who had extricated
himself with difficulty, that two others were under the
fallen arches below, having been at dinner at the time.
They were got out as quickly as possible ; but, we regret
to say, were both dead.
The first man whose body was recovered was named
Edmund Coleburn ; he was a labourer, and left a wire
and two children. The other was a joiner, named John
Stevens ; he had no family.
Oa Wednesday, an inquest was held on the bodies, be-
fore P. F. Currie, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable jury,
of which Mr. J. R. Jeffery was foreman. After the jury
had been sworn, the coroner referred to the serious na-
ture of the accident which had occurred, and pointed out
what he considered would be the moat important points
in the inquiry: He then suggested that the best course
to pursue would be to view the bodies, and then to in-
spect the premises ; the inquiry to be adjourned to a fu-
ture day. It had been suggested to him that Mr. Edward
Woods shou'd sit with him as amicus curicß, to suggest
what questions were necessary to be asked. He had is-
sued summonses to Mr. John Stewart, Mr. W'eightman,
and Mr. S. Holme, but as they could not all be got toge-
ther, the inquest should be adjourned. Mr. Roscoe, of
the firm of Lace, Rigge, and Roscoe, appeared on behalf
of the Corn.exchange Committee, and Mr. Blenkinson
appeared for Mr. Picton, the architect. The latter gen-
tleman intimated that, so far as Mr. Picton was con-
cerned, every assistance would be rendered to have the
ease fully investigated. The proceedings were then ad-
journed to Monay (yesterday). Mr. Joseph Naylor,
who was summoned on the jury, was fined NS. for re-
fusing to attend.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE INQUEST, YESTERDAY.
Yesterday forenoon, at 11 o'clock, the inquest was
resumed before the borough coroner at the Sessions'-
house.

Mr. Lace appeared for the proprietors of the Corn-
Exchange ; Mr. Blenkinsop for Mr. Piton ; Mr.. Yates
for Mr. P. Code, clerk to the works ; Mr. Harvey for the
assignees of Mr. Leader ; and Mr. Dodge for Mr.
Mackerel!.

Mr. William Hanson, jun., in the employ of Messrs.
Jupp and Sons, Castle-street, was the first witness. He
said :—I was in the Corn-exchange, on Tuesday last,
when it gave way ; it occurred about a quarter past 12
o'clock. I can form no idea of the number of persons
then in the Exchange ; there was a moderate attendance
only. I was standing near the door, in Brunswick-street,.
and first noticed the moving of the floor. It was a sud-
den movement ; there was no cracking or intimation
given in any way ;. it was down in a few seconds ; and
the flooring extending between the iron pillars, from
Brunswick-street to the Old Ropery, fell in. T should
think 15G people or upwards were precipitated into the
area below where the rubbish was ; they were thrown
amidst the bricks, the boards, and the stands. That part
of the building which fell in is entirely new, and has
been a few months in use for the purposes of the trade.
I don't know whether any sufficient survey was made of
the building before it was so used. I have been told
that a person named Leader had the contract for the
building. I had heard no rumours that it was not in a
fit state for use, before it was used. _ .

Frederick Elliott, appraiser and estate agent, No. 5,
Camden-street, Liverpool, said Tuesday last, a
little after twelve, I went into the Corn Exchange. I
have seen the building fuller than it was on that day ;_ it
was not unusually full. I went in about ten minutes past
twelve, and in about ten minutes afterwards the centre
part of the flooring gave way, and the persons standing
there were precipitated below. Two persons were killed,
but one had more the appearance of being killed rather by
suffocation than by any serious wounds.
By the Jury.—lt all occurred in a minute. Mr. Mac-
kenzie and Mr. Turner were there twenty minutes before.
saw and heard no stamping whilst I was there. Mr.
Turner was precipitated with the others below. Mr.
Mackenzie was on the opposite side.
By the Coroner.—There was no excitement whilst I
was in the building. The candidates were merely shaking
hands first with one gentleman and then another.
The jury, in reply to the Coroner, did 'not consider it
necessary to have the medical officer examined, as there
could be no doubt of the cause of death.

Mr. Hanson, recalled by the jury.—I was in the build.
ing from the opening of the market until the accident
and there was no stamping at all, or any excitement what.
ever, during the whole of that time.
James Pollock, joiner, in the employ of Mr. Mackerell,
builder, deposed : My employer has a contract to do the
carpenter's work connected with the Exchange. I was
underneath in the vaults when the accident occurred. I
was sitting near the two men who were killed ; they were
getting their dinners. Their names were Edmund Goul-
burn, a labourer, and John Stevens, a joiner, in the employ
of Mr. Mackerell. I was myself very much crushed, and
both the other parties were killed. Just before we went
to dinner, we had been removing the centres of the arches
supporting the flooring of the room above. Mr. Code,
the clerk of the works, gave me the directions as to the
removal of the arches ; I don't know in whose employ he
is. He appeared to have the direction of the work as it
was going on. I am not aware exactly how long those
arches had been made. Myself and the two men killed
had been about five weeks engaged in removing
the centres, under the direction of Mr. Code ;
we were the only parties engaged on the work.
I have observed Mr. Picton, the architect and builder,
about the works ; he gave no directions to me about it,
but was frequently there inspecting it as it went on. I
received my orders from Mr. Code. I did not take any
particular notice of the condition of the mortar in which
the arches were set, nor of the brick work itself. I have
never, when engaged in such work before, examined the
state of the brick work or mortar. I never noticed that
any part of it appeared to be green or fresh, After an
arch has been completed I am not aware that there is any
particular time allowed for it to stand before we proceed
to remove the centres. It depends on the state of the
work itself. One arch was removed before we commenced
by Mr. Leader, I believe ; but I don't know if there was
any survey made previously by any cne. I should
think a survey should have been made before we went
on with the work. lam not able to answer satisfactorily
who should have made that survey. Mr. Code or Mr.
Picton would have made it. lam not aware whether any
particular survey was made by Mr. Code, but he always
examined them after we had taken the timber out. He
examined the arches before the timber was taken out to a
certain extent, but I cannot say whether he made a
general survey. In removing the centres, we commenced
first to knock the supports out, having a shorter one to
put in. In that way we lowered the centre a few inches ;
then we got the sheathing off, and after that we took
down the skeletons (the sub-centres) ; this would be con-
tinuous work, without any interval between the different
processes. We took the sheathing off the moment we had
slackened it round. The short supports are merely put
in for the purpose of lowering it, and not to try the
strength of the arch. After we had lowered the centre
there was no appearance of weakness in the arch. The
first thing that alarmed me was, I saw the bricks giving
way under No. 3 arch, and that was the first indication of
weakness 1 noticed.

By the Foreman : The men proceeded with their work
by daylight. There was quite a sufficient llght for our
purpose.

By the Coroner: I have been engaged in this work for
16 years, under Mr. Mackerell.
By Mr. Yates : There are two vaults under the Corn
Exchange, and arches had been placed over both. The
workmen, at this time, were in course of constructing two
vaults to the front of the Corn Exchange. The front vaults
were being arched exactly in thesame manner as that which
gave way. I believe the centres had remained in all the
arches of the two vaults underneath the floor of the Corn
Exchange until the work was finished. One single centre was
removed from the arches of the lower vault, before we went
to work there. As the centres were removed, they were
brought into use in the front part of the vault ; and that
practice has continued throughout the work up to the
time of the accident occurring. We had no centres used
for the arches being formed other than those which had
been brought from under the arches completed. They
were removed one by one as they were wanted. Mr.
Mackerell found no centres at all. Mr. Picton was the
architect, and took Code, the clerk of the works. It was
well known that the same centres were being used for the
front as had been used for the back part of the vaults.
As the centres were put up in the new part of the build-
ing, they were perfectly visible. I don't know whether
the architect was there when they were removing the
centres. I don't think I ever saw Mr. Picton underneath
in the vaults at all, but I have about the works. I have
seen him standing on the front part of the building where
they were forming the arches.
By the Coroner.—l consider the centres were removed
in a proper and a workmanlike manner, under the circum-
stances. I mean by that, when proper wedges are under
we always slack them first; but through these being
nailed together we had to do as I described before,
knock the props out. In this case they had been wedged,
and then the wedges were nailed for the purpose of
making them more secure. We had taken two entire
centres from the upper vaults before the accident occurred.
I had known Mr. Code on other worke before this hap.
Pena& So far as my observation went, Mr. Code was
very careful, and particularly cautious as clerk of the
works,

By Mr. Blenkinsop ; We were not striking the cen-
treing of the vaults that tunlbled in at the time of the
accident ; they had not be,n touched in a fortnight
perhaps. I can't say whether there had been more than
one market since. I always like to slack the centreing
first, and then allow a short time to test the arch before
the centreing is entirely removed ; that will leave room for
the brick work to settle. There is no means of seeing the

brick work until the centres are taken away. The-cen7

treing to the eye, in both vaults, is all the same, so that
when once removed, it could Lot be known which of the

vaults it, came from.
By Mr. Yates : All the centres employed in the back
part of the lower vaults were not used up in the front
part of the same vaults ' • there had been better than one-
third, but not one half, of the centres used, from the
back of the lower vaults, in the front part since. By a
close inspection, an architect would be able to tell the

centres were. the same.
By the Coroner : I have not examined the foundation
of the building, but I have seen the ruins. I cannot !orm
any suggestion as to the cause of the accident. Every
thing, as far as it appeared to me, seemed to be done in
a proper manner.
The Coroner, in the course of the forenoon, repeated
his opinion given on the opening of the inquest, that it
was highly desirable to have the fullest and most searching
inquiry into all the circumstances of this ease, and he
threw out a suggestion that probably some of the gentle-
men belonging to thc Corn Exchange Committee might

wish to give evidence.
Mr. Lace replied that the committee were most desirous
that the fullest examination should be instituted. At the

same time, as ulterior proceedings would probably arise
out of this occurrence, and as some of those gentlemen
might stand in the position of plaintiffs, he thought it
would be quite as well that none of the committee should
be put into the witness box. After some unimportant dis-
cussion, it wai ultimately agreed, on the sugaestion of Mr.
Lace, that Mr. Picton should be examined after the ad-
journment of the court, as he could furnish the coroner
with every particular as to the contracts entered into and
the work done.
The court having adjourned far a short time, re-opened
at half-past two o'clock, and the investigation proceeded.
Mr. James Allison Picton said : I am an architect and
surveyor, in Liverpool, and have been 23 years in practice
on my own account. At the latter end of the year 1850,
I prepared plans and specifications for the rebuilding of the
Corn-exchange. The contracts were advertised for. Mr.
Leader was the successful competitor. He undertook the
erection for the sum of £8,415 ; he having, also, the old
materials. The engagement made with him was to com-
plete the building in several separate portions, it being
an essential point. The arrangement being that, as the
work was proceeding in one part, the corn-market should
be held in another. The property purchased for the Ex-
change consisted of a warehouse fronting the old Ropery,
a warehouse fronting Brunswick-street, and a yard be-
tween them. We got possession of the back warehouse,
but not of the front one. The arrangement then made
with Mr. Leader was, that the back part should be
commenced first; that, as soon as that was com-
pleted, the market should be held in that part,
and then we should proceed to one-half of the portion
fronting Brunswick-street, leaving the other fourth
to he completed when we could get possession. The
back part accordingly was carried forward to comple-
tion. As the building, although built in piece-meal,
formed one connected and compacted structure when
finished, it became necessary to take extra precautions for
the stability of that part which was first erected. Extra
iron tie-rods were therefore introduced into the arches to
resist the thrust,. which we had nothing else to abut
against, until all was completed. Cross-ties also were in-
troduced into the roof to keep all steady until the remain-
ing part should be finished. Up to the time of the back
portion being competed, Mr. Leader carried on his
works with vigour. About the time of the excavation
for the fourth part fronting Brunswick-street, in March
last, being proceeded with, Mr. Leader got into difficul-
ties. The work therefore slackened, and we did not get
on as we ought to have done. 1 gave him the regular no-
tices under the contract that if he did not proceed I would
employ another person. I should say at this time the
piers of the front portion facing,Brunswick - street, werebeilt
up for the purpose of turning the lower vaults. Mr.
Leader's foreman called upon me to ask if I would permit
them to take any of the centres out of the vaults already
turned, to use in the front part ; and I declined doing so.
The work accordingly stood still. Great complaints were
made at the time of the very slow progress of the works.
Mr. Leader was not in the way, but his foreman called
again, said they had no timber to go on with, and again
asked for permission to remove the lower centres. After
an examination and consultation with the clerk of the
works, Mr. Philip Code, T consented to such portions of
the lower centres as were necessary being removed ;
considering that as they had becen turned considerably
longer than the others—they had then been turned
nine or ten months; there could be no danger in
withdrawing them. A very small portion was ac-
cordingly withdrawn by Mr. Leader's men. Soon
after that Mr. Leader stopped altogether ; and I
then had to look out for another contractor to take his
place. Mr. Mackerell's was the next lowest tender to Mr.
Leader's, and to him I applied. He declined mixing him-
self up with the sub-contracts, bricks, masonry. &c., but
had no objection to go on with his own, the joiner and
carpenter's work. We then went into a calculation of the
amount he was receive for the remainder of the work.
That amount was settled between us. In the original
bill of quantities there is an item of 2,8571 yards of cen-
treing for the whole building, and the money placed oppo-
site is £825 15s. Od. 1 gave Mr. Leader credit for 1183'
yards of worlc done by him in centreing, leaving to be
found by Mr. Mackerel' 1674-. yards. It is usual at the end
of the contract that timber used for centreing should
belong to the contractor, and new timber for the whole of
the centreing was to he provided by Mr. Macicerell, except
for those arches which Mr. Leader had executed. Mr.
Code is in my employ to see the works are properly
executed, although he is paid his wages by the committee
of the Corn Exchange. In going to the works to an-
nounce the change of contractor, I told him thetimber in the
centreing already executed would belong to Mr. Mackerel].
With regard to Mr. Code, I had the utmost possible con-
fidence in him, as a steady, faithful servant, intelligent
and skilful; and I have still.. He has been in my em-
ploy 15 or 16 years, and has-superintended the erection
of arches on the same principle as the present arches of
the Corn-exchange are. The upper arches had been
turned Bor 9 months before the accident occurred. Un-
der ordinary circumstances, I think the mortar would be
fully set in that time in those arches. I find, on exami-
nation. since the occurrence, of the mortar of the arches
and the backing, that it is not sufficiently consolidated.
There was no means of testing this before, the arches be.
ing covered by the floor above, (which had a counter ceil-
ing under, to prevent the cold draughts up through the
boards,) and the centreing below. At the time of those
arches being constructed (it was at the latter end of the
year, and a time of great rain) the building lay open a
long time, waiting for the iron ribs, and the plate
glass of the roof. Of course, all the rain that fell
saturated the arches and the backing. The effect of
this on the mortar would prevent it from harden-
ing—it had not the same chance of evaporation. Un-
der these circumstances I think the clerk of the works
might have been easilyd'eceived as to the state of the mor-
tar; I think it very.liitely I might have been deceived
myself. I continued my official survey of the building, as
architect, as it progressed in all its stages, up to the time
of the accident ; I was not there of course every day, and
I gave all my orders and directions to Mr. Code, the clerk
of the works. I gave no specific directions to Mr. Code,
beyond what I have stated, for the removal of the centres.
I have heard the mode of the removal of the centres stated
by Mr. Pollock. Abstractedly, I do not consider that a
judicious mode. Had the same set of men been employed
to pull them down who set them up, I think it very pro-
bable a different mode would have been adapted. I have
carefully and closely examined the state of the building
since the occurrence. It appears to me the falling in of
the arches occurred from the want of consolidation in the
mortar, added to the circumstances that some of the cen-
tres were fixed and rigid, others removed, thus causing an
unequal pressure. Under those circumstances the slight-
est additional 'vibration in any part of the building would
cause a fracture, especially at any point of junction between
the fixed part and the loose part. I allowed the removal
of the centre front lower vaults, and therefore I hold
myself responsible for that sanction. Further than that,
I gave no directions at all, and that was given in Mr.
Leader's time. I did not give any specific directions to
Mr. Code as to the removal of the upper centres. I
gave him general directions, as I said before, that the
whole of the timber in the: upper centres was Mr. Muck-
erell's, having been measured up to him ; but as to the
mode of the removal of the middle centres, I gave no spe-
cific directions to Mr. Code ; it is not my place to do so.
CORONER.—Did not Mr. Code on one occasion point
out to you the danger of removing any of the centres in
the mode they were removed?
No ; never in any instance, or anything approaching to
it. In fact, we never had any conversation on the subject.
The CORONER said it was only fair to Mr.. Picton to
inform him that the reason he pressed this question was
because it was represented to him that Mr. Code had
pointed out great danger connected with these centres.
Mr. YATES, for Mr. Code, said it was no part of his
instructions that his client had ever made any such re-
presentation to Mr. Picton.
The CORONER mentioned that lie had received a written
communication to the effect that, referring to the removal
of the arches, Code had said, " he remonstrated with Mr.
Picton on the unsafety of such a proceeding." This com-
munication came from a source which had been made
known to him ; and he should have been doing an injus-
tice to Mr. Picton had he not asked the question publicly.
He did not say it would be necessary, but he might have
yet to call the person who had given the information before
the jury. He added that he was quite satisfied from Mr.
Piston's reply, there was no truth in the communication.
Mr. Picton was glad of the opportunity of replying to
the statement, and most ready to give every information
in his power with respect to this lamentable accident,
which no one regretted more sincerely than he did. But,
at the same time, lie respectfully submitted whether it
was fair that rumours of that sort should be allowed to
operate to his prejudice, in a case where his professional
reputation, and perhaps something more, might be at
stake.
By Mr. Wood .—T can mention Tower-buildings, Water-
street, and Fenwick-chambers, as arches constructed on
the same principle as these in question, and which are all
now standing perfect, and can be seen by the jury, if ne-
cessary. The centres have been removed many years
since, and the buildings, as is well known, filled with
goods. I have also other arches on the same plan, where
I was not assisted by Mr. Code.
By Mr. Harvey .—The centre taken out by Mr. Leader,
was by my sanction. I have nothing to complain of in the
workmanship or materials, as far as Mr. Leader is con-
cerned ; but may mention, as I did before, that 1 think
it unfortunate the centre was put up by one set of men
and taken down by another:

111 r. Philip Code was next sworn, and deposed : I am a
joiner by trade, and clerk of the works at the Corn Ex-
clianae, under Mr. Picton. I have had a great deal of
experience in the formation and striking of the centres of
arches ; and during the last sixteen years have been

I did not apprehend this particular accident as this tiri;

Picton that there was any danger in the mode of retest
