FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT

BOLTON, YESTERDAY.

In the last column of our present publication will be
found some notice of the bursting of a boiler at the linen
manufactory of Mr. John Brooks, in Bolton, by which
several lives were ascertained to be lost, and a greater
number of persons supposed to have immediately perished,
besides many seriously and some fatally injured. It is a
relief to state that, lamentable as the event has been, it
has not proved destructive to human life to the extent
at first apprehended.
We have seen a gentleman just arrived from Bolton,who
witnessed the scene shortly after the explosion, and has
furnished us with the following particulars' wbich, though
necessarily imperfect, may, in the main, be relied upon.
The factory, and extensive premises attached, are si-
tuated close to St. George's Church; and from 400 to
500, young and old, were employed within. Two engines
were at work, one (as before noticed,) stated to be of 50-
horse power, and the other of about 60. The boilers of
one of them burst about eleven o'clock yesterday fore-
noon, owing, it is said, to the carelessness of the tenter,
and an explosion of the other soon followed, though this
is not certain. These were each in an extensive well-
built out-house, on the north. west side of the factory, and
the destructive effects were instant there and on the con-
tiguous
part of the main building. The engine• house was
demolished ; the windows of tste factory in that direction
blown in; its interior frame work was much shot.
tered, and largo masses of building material scattered
far and wide. The boiler of the larger engine was
lifted into the air, and lighted in the street about fifty
yards from its original position. Several of the work-
people were found dead in the ruins, but the precise num-
ber otir informant could not ascertain : in the hurry of the
moment, there being various outlets by which they might
be removed. A large and very heavy balk of timber, that
had been fixed over the engine was blown clear over some
adjacent buildings, (which it would otherwise have crushed
in,) and lighted in a back passage or area, sixty or eighty
yards from where it had been fixed, and in a direction
from the factory. The materials of the ruins were chiefly
hurled into a street called Back-street, about fifty yards
from the point of explosion. The gl iss in the windows
of the house on the opposite side was nearly all
blown in by the shock. One woman who was picked out
of the ruins, and who had one of her hands crushed or
blown off, and was otherwise much hurt, died this morn-
ing about three o'clock ; and our ihformaht saw about
twelve other persons carried or led away, greatly injured
or shaken, and some of whom appeared to have little
chance of recovery. One lad was covered up in the ruins
up stairs, and when a spade used in clearing away acci-
dentally touched his head, the little fellow cried out,
" Oh, mother, mother!" and, on getting out, shook
hin.self, and added, " I'm worth two dead folks yet!"
It will he a long time before work can be rasumed in
in the mill, as the machinery and buildings will have to
undergo extensive repairs, in addition to the renewal of
the boilers. One of the large chimneys is also much
shattered that it must be pulled down and rebuilt.

THE BIBLE ON MAN'S EARTHLY CONDITION.—We
aver, that in God's Word, and that throughout its pages,
not in a few places, but in many—not dubiously, but with
the greatest clearness—there are given doctrines, and re-
proofs, and instructions in righteousness, for legislators,
for statesmen, and for num of wealth and influence; and
that the general tenour of these is directly opposed to
what a set of philosophers, falsely so-called, of our own
times, have conspired to dignify with the name of political
economy. And accordingly, and very naturally, as the
Bible and they are at variance, they agree to lay the Bible
on the shelf, and to assert that, however necessary and
supreme in its own department—the concerns of God and
the soul—yet in sublunary matters, the ft nagemertt of
nations, &c., it is either wholly silent, or, ads without
any divine authority, or any claim to our respect. Thus
it is that one of the best men and ablest divines in all
Scotland can write a treatise on political economy, in
which scarcely a single reference is found, from the first
line to the last, to the only infallible source of instruc-
tion—the word of God. But if by really great divines,
and eminent teachers of religion, the Bible is thus thrust
out of sight, who shall wonder, that the consequences to
the nation are of the fearful kind described by Mr. Bo-
sanquet. In his valuable work, he entitles a chapter.
" THERE IS No FAITH," and thus does he prove his
assertion :—" Want of faith is the very characteristic of
this generation. Concurrent and consistent with this. is
a WANT OF CHARITY. The Bible is boldly and practi-
cally denied in every particular. No class or body of men
believe and obey it. And strange as it may seem, it is by
no nation, or people, or churches, or sects of men, less
implicitly believed and followed, than by those very peo-
ple and sections of the church who talk so much about it.
There are no persons less obedient t,3 the plain sense and
mandates of the written word of God, than those who
most speak of and uphold it as the sole authority and
standard, and reject all assistance from the history of the
church, and what is spoken against as tradition. The
Bible is denied in every particular. Men do not believe
that we are really to be Christians ; that we are to imitate
our Lord. They do not believe that the world could pos.
sibly go on, if all men were to act upon pure Christian
motives, and up to a perfect Christian rule ; if they were
to forgive and forget injuries; if they were not to resent
an affront; if they were to give to people, because they
asked them ; if they were to lend money, without looking
far interest ; if we were all to give up luxuries, and style,
and costly furniture, and equipage ; if we, our cattle, and
servants, were strictly to observe the day of rest. How
many are there who appear to believe that it is not right
to be anxious about the future ; that riches are not a good
thing ; that the entrance into heaven is easier to a poor
man ; that we ought to return a tenth to God ; that it
would bring a blessing, to give freely and largely to the
poor; that children are a blessing and a gift from the
Lord, and that the man is happy who has his quiver full
of them ? It is evident that, in all these points, the Bible
is disbelieved, and is practically denied ; and does not
control or guide us in our habits and principles of life and
of society. Still less do we believe that the public mea-
sures, the laws and the government of the state, and the
intercourse with other nations, ought to be, or can be,
carried on, and conducted on Christian principles. What
number or classes of persons believe that righteousness
exalteth a nation ; that the conscience of the government
is the conscience of the people ; and that our rulers are
bound to take the first care for the pure religion
theirlnd
morals of the country ; and that, if they- _ct

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.)

We are still rather scantily supplied with any kind of
produce, either Coastwise or from Ireland, and from
abroad the imports this week are only moderate. Of
Wheat, Oatmeal, and Bean, however, we continue to
have a good display of samples from granary, but, with
these exceptions, the stocks here era comparatively small.
Having a good attend ince of town and country millers
at our market to-day, and the holders of Wheat submit-
ting to a decline of ld. to 2d. per 701bs. from th 3 rates of
this day se'nnight, sales, chiefly of the general runs of
foreign, were effected to a fair amount at that abatement.
English and Irish Flour was in moderate request, and
Canadian in good demand, each nearly supporting our

last quotations.
Barley and Malt were saleable upon a moderate scale
at late prices. Beans, on the contrary, attracting less
notice than for some time past, were Is. to 2s. per qr.
chewer; and Pease might have been purchased on rather
easier terms.

Oats, althouga taken off sparingly, maintained former
prices; wh,lst Oatmeal commanded a tolerably free sale
at a small decline from our last currency.

GUANO TRADE.—During the past week this port has
sent out three ships—the Integrity, Johnston, of 489 tons;
the James and Thomas, Forest, of 383 tons ; and La
Bonne Mere, Dove—for Ichaboe. The Atwick, of 341
tons, and the Indus, are preparing to follow. These will
make twelve hips from Hull, ten of which are gone to
load the precious manure.—Hull Herald.

LADIES IN THE STOCKS.—On Saturday, market-day
at Newport in this county, the attention of Her Msjesty's
lieges was attracted to the Town-hall, in consequence of
the stocks being occupied by two young ladies, Miss
Ann Bullock, and Miss Harris, who with a gentleman,
named Jones, alias Girdler, had the pleasure of rusticating
in the above enviable position for six hours.—Shrewsbury
Chronicle.

GIIANO.—The West India Islands do not appear to
offer a market for this now important article of commerce,
as the following fact affords sufficient proof:—" The brig
Lerwick, Captain Jones, arrived at Cork on the 23rd
instant, with a cargo of African guano, having been to
Barbadoes, and remained there four days, without being
able to dispose of it, at, it is presumed, remunerating
prices. "

Roe and Blatchford, the Isle of Wight bankers, passed
their final examination on Friday at the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, when the proof of the Isle of Wight Joint Stock
Bank f0r'.E63,000 was admitted against each of the sepa-
rate estates of the bankrupts; it appearing that when Sir
Richard Bassett died, the firm was insolvent, and was
nevertheless carried on by the bankrupts till they failed
with a deficiency of £60,000 or £70,000.
QUICK TRAVELLING—The splendid new coach, Quick-
silver, from Edinburgh to Newcastle, in uninterupted
communication with the Newcastle and London Railway
(just opened,) by Darlington, in one day, on Wednesday
performed her first journey from Newcastle to Edinburgh
in nine-and•a-half hours, with th 3 greatest ease, safety,
and comfort, and having a full complement of passengers,
thus anticipating the London mail by nearly four hours.—
Glasgow Courier•

STATISTICS OF CAB-DRIVERS, &c.—From some docu-
ments recently prepared for the Home Missionary So-
ciety, it appears that there are in the metropolis 347
watermen employed upon the various cab-stands, 1,793
omnibus conductors, 1,662 drivers of cabs, and 4,546
drivers of h.sckney-coaches and omnibusses, making a
total of 8,318 men, or, with their families, 20,000 persons
living by the conveyance of passengers in and around
London.

POST-OFFICE EMBEZZLEMENT.—On the morning of
Thursday, Miss Sarah Kay, late the receiver of letters at
the Glossop Road branch Post-office, in Sheffield, under-
went an examination at the Town-hall of that place, and
was fully committed to York Castle for trial on three
charges of stealing letters, one containing two marked half
sovereigns, another containing a silk handkerchief, and
the third a piece of bride-cake. The punishment for this
offence is transportation for life.
SIGNS OF THE TlMES.—Since the second reading of
the Dissenters' Chapels Bill in the House of Commons,
the trustees of Dean-row (Unitarian) Chapel have held a
meeting, which was attended by several very wealthy and
influential gentlemen of the neighbourhood. They have
determined on making a school-room from one end of
the chapel, altering the galleries, and thoroughly repair-
ing the building and premises throughout. They have
ample funds at their disposal.—Stockport paper.

EXTENSION OF THE COTTON TRADE.—We have now
almost weekly to report fresh extensions of the cotton
trade in this town. This week Messrs. W. Shaw & Co.,
corn-dealers, have p rchased about 5000 yards of land,
belonging to the Greenbank estate, on which to erect a
weaving shed, and, probably, hereafter a mill. Mr. J.
Paley is about taking down buildings adjoining the works,
and extending them considerably. We hear of another
party about erecting a new mill.—Preston Guardian,
Radical paper.
THE LOSS OF THE MANCHESTER.-137 the Vivid
steamer, which arrived on Tuesday evening from Hull,
we ascertained that the Transit steamer made that port
on Monday from the scene of the late heart-rending oc-
currence, and the additional particulars brought by her
confirm the melancholy fact that not a life was saved.
When the Transit left the Elbe on Saturday, the wreck
of the Manchester could be seen to the northward of the
harbour, but the crew were unable to gain any tidings of
any bodies being washed ashore.—Morning Chronicle.
MANCHESTER THEATRICAL RELIEF FUND.—The
fund for the relief of the sufferers by the destruction of
the Manchester Theatre-Royal amounted, on Thursday
last, to 1761. The salaries of the company were paid in
full from the time of the conflagration to the opening of
the Circus ; the artisans were paid for the loss of their
tools, and the orchestra for the loss of their instruments ;
after which a surplus of £370 remained, which was dis-
tributed, on Saturday, among the theatrical corps and
those necessary servants of the theatre who are wholly
dependant upon it.
CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—There are at all the sta-
tions of the Ayrshire Railway shifts or switches, placed
betwixt the two rails for the purpose of removing carriages
from one rail to the other. Under the shaft of Lsoic3holvlti a
noch station, a bird of the " wagtail "has

IMPORTS OF FRIIIT.—The Princess Victoria steamer
from Antwerp, on Monday morning, landed 542 baskets
of cherries, averaging 501bs. each, making a total of about
27,2001b5. • she also landed 20 baskets of fine white cur-
rants. The Emerald Isle, Rotterdam steamer, the same
morning landed 933 baskets of the same fruit, averaging
251bs. per basket, and making, with the Princess's supply,
upwards of 50,0001b5., which were immediately distributed
amongst the buyers from the West Riding and Lancashire.
This supply is ten times the amount of the preceding
week. The fruit is in extraordinary fine condition, and
appeared, on examination, to be entirely free from un-
soundness and waste. The Emerald Isle brought a fur-
ther consignment of 635 bushel-hampers of new potatoes.

MILITARY AFFRAY AT GATESHEAD.—Aeriousaffray
took place at Gateshead on Sunday week. It originated
in a common public-ht:use quarrt 1, which led to the ap-
prehension of a soldier belonging to tue 37th Regiment.
This proceeding had irritated a number of his canaradeS
who assembled in Gateshead at a subsequent period of the
day, and made an attack upon some of the police much in
t .e same way as the recent a't irk was made in Leeds.
The n.aiter was fully inv stigat.d by the magistrates at
the Gateshead Town-hall on Tuesday last, when SIX
soldiers, and a civilian named Weymss, were each con-
victed in a penalty of £5. In default of payment, to be
imprisoned two months in Durham Gaol.
ACCIDENT IN THE liIVER LEA.—On Wednesday three
inquests were ht ld before the Middlesex coroner 'on the
remains of three youths who were drowned in the Lea,
close to the Eastern Counties Railway. on H. Waldock,
aged 17, who had gone to bathe with his brother, and
having got out of his depth was drowned ; on G. S. Shaw,
aged 12, and Alfred Frear, aged 11, sons of respectable
tradesmen in Whitechapel. They had gone to walk 01
the banks, and when about to return home, Shaw slid
down the bank to wash his boots, in doing which be fell
in. Freer courageously jumped to his assistance, and
each grasped the other so firmly that they perish-d in each
other's arms. The drags were procured, hut the bodies
were not found for an hour Lnd a half. Verdict, "acci-
dental."
NUPTIAL. FESTIVITIES.—Tuesday last was a gay and
happy festival at Acton, and the whole district was one
scene of rejoicing, as on that morning Wilbraham Tolle-
mache, Esq., led to the hymeneal altar, Miss Tomkinsoar
of Dorfold Hall. On leaving the church the flower girls
preceded the bride and bridegroom, and scattered the
path with roses. The bells of the church rang out mart
peals, and the party returned to the llall amidst the same
demonstrations of enthusiasm as greeted their arrival.
The children of the National School. about 200 of both
sexes, were plentifully regaled in their school room with
buns, wines, &c. No demonstration which could in ant
way mark the respect in which the wo. thy pair are held,
was omitted ; and a general feeling of good will, and warm
expressions of esteem, were the distinguishing charac-
teristics of the joyous proceedings.
The Hampshire Independent has a strange memoir of
a hall-brother of Sir Edward Knatchbull, who was exe-
cuted in February last, for a murder, at Sydney, in New
South Wales. John Knatchbull, a son of the 'late Sit
Edward, by a second marriage was transported in 1824,
for a robbery at Vauxhall Gardens, under the assumed
name of John Fitch. He was always of violent temper;
and when he rose from the rank of midshipman, having
early entered the navy, to the commander of a ten-gun
brig, his conduct was so tyrannical that he was brought to
a court martial, cashiered, and declared incompetent to
hold any commission in the King's service. He then
associated with the most profligate. By a pretended
marriage he succeeded in seducing the daughter of a"city
merchant ; having previously made similar victims at
Bermuda. Halifax, and New York. In 1825 he arrived
at Sydney; and soon obtained a ticket of leave, having
apprehended several runaways, who, from information
subsequently received, no doubt, were instigated to the
crime by Knatchbull hims:df. In IE3I he was banished to
Norfolk Island for seven years, for forgery; after which
he returned to Sydney. He was ultimately executed for
the murder of Mrs. Jamieson ; the motive to his crime
having been a small amount of property which the unfor-
tunate woman possessed, and which was found on the
murderer's person.

The King of Saxony, after visiting Cambridge, arrived
at Chesterfield on Siturday week, and visited Hardwicke
Hall. proceeding on to Bakewell. On Sunday the King
and his suite attended service at the Earl of Newburgh'S
chapel, and afterwards visited Chatsworth, spending seven
hours in an inspection of the Duke of Devonshire's cele-
brated conservatory. They then proceeded to Haddon
Hall, and having viewed that beautiful and unique struc-
ture, returned to the Rutland Arms, at Bakewell, where
they again passed the night. On Monday the King of
Saxony visited Buxton and afterwards Castleton, and went
through the caverns and minutely inspected the wonders
of that extraordinary locality. His Majesty then pro-
ceeded on to Matlock, sleeping at the Old Bath Hotel.
On Tuesday the King visited the Museums at Matlock
Bath, and then passed on to the railwaj station at Derby,
proceeding by train to Birmingham, where horses were
ordered to be in readiness to take him to the Soho manu-
factory. From Birmingham his Majesty proceeded to
Warwick Castle. On Wednesday evening his Wiest?
arrived at Leamington, and on the following morning
viewed the town, soon after which his Majesty departed
for Oxford, via Stratford-on-Avon and Blenheim. His
Majesty arrived at Oxford on Friday, and was conducted
by the Vice•Chnncellor over the colleges, libraries, &C.
His Majesty took his departure from Oxford on Saturday.

THE MORALITY OF THE TURF.—In the Court of
Exchequer, on Tuesday last, an action for an assault was
tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe. Mr. Wood, a sporting
man, sought to recover damages for having been forcibly
ejected from the Grand Stand at Doncaster, during the
races last year. The action was brought against Lead-
bitter, the well known London police officer, but it was
defended with the sanction of the jockey club, by the
Earl of Eglintoun, the steward of the races, under whose
directions the ejection took place. It seems that the
plaintiff purchased for a guinea a ticket to the Grand
Stand, but shortly after he had been admitted he was de-
sired to withdraw by. Leadbitter, acting under• the direc-
tions of Lord Eglintoun, and on the plaintiff's refusal he
was gently handed out by the officer, which constituted
the alleged assault. It appeared that the plaintiff was
what is called a " defaulter" on the turf, and before the
Derby Race, in 1841, he had solicited authority from a
person named Harker to bet for him on commission.
That authority %as given, and before the races plaintiff
wrote to say that he had backed Coronation in several
heavy bets with some of the leading men on the turf; bat
when, contrary to his expectation, Coronation had woe
the race, he confessed that he had not made such bets.
If Coronation had lost, the plaintiff would have pocketed
a large sum without risk at the expense of Harker. The
jury found a verdict for the defendant, on the plea of jus-
tification.

SUICIDE OF A COURIER OF THE KING OF HANOVEI"
—Whilst the steam-ship Caledonia was on her last passage
to Hamhurgh, the greatest sensation was produced
amongst the passengers by the following melancholy oc-
currence :—On board was a Mr. T. lialphs, courier to his
Hanoverian Majesty, the bearer of despatches from her
Majesty to his royal master. He left St. James's Palace
on the night of last Friday week, and proceeded on board,
but owing to some unexplained cause he would never mitt
with the chief cabin passengers, but preferred living and
conversing with those in the forepart of the vessel. At
nine o'clock in the evening the steamer anchored at the
Stade, and shortly afterwards he partook of a glass of
brandy and water with the steward. Soon after :two
o'clock on the following morning the vessel got under
weigh, and proceeded up the river on her way to Ham-
burgh, when the man was missed. The mate then went
in search of him, and having gone to the door of the wa-
ter-closet, and finding it locked on the inside, and receiv-
ing no answer to his knocking, with the assistance of a
sailor, broke it open, and found Mr. lialphs a corpse, his
throat being frightfully cut in several places. The unhappl
man had evidently first cut himself with his right hand,
and finding the wound ineffectual, had infl cted another
gash on the other side of his throat, and death not follow-
ing so speedily as he desired, it was apparent that he had
sat down on the seat and bled to death. A piece of paper,
on which the following was written, was found in his
pockets :—" Take care of my child, for Thomas Italphs,

IN PARIS AND LONDON.—The style of doing
suppose the paid agitators of the League must get some-
thing else to agitate upon, we should recommend them to
look into this matter, if they are really solicitous, as they
profess to be, for the interests of the operatives and the
poorer classes of society. It would be new and about as
useful as their present object. What we allude to has
been repeatedly displayed in the reports from Paris of the
prices of corn, flour, and bread, relatively to the prices ie
this country. These tables are to this effect, that while
the price of wheat in London market may be ten per cent.
higher than that of Paris, the price of flour is twenty per
cent. higher, and of bread thirty per cent. higher in the
former than in the latter capital. And it would thus
appear, that to whatever causes the different relative prices
of bread in the two markets is to be attributed, the blame,
if blame there be, of the price being higher in England
than in France, is attributable but in a moderate degree
to the corn growers, while the profits of millers and bakers
the difference
in this country constitute the chief part of
complained of. If the gentlemen of the. League possess
they will surely
the investigation of this branch of the subject, as it ought
to be a matter of perfect indifference to them whether the

ARRIVALS OF GUANO.—Two cargoes of this fertiliser,
the property of Messrs. Banks of Haddinston have sr"
rived at the port of Berwick within the last 'few day"
one, per the Clifton, from Ichaboe. and the other, per the
Leo, from Claincha, or the Bug Islands. The captain 0,
the latter states that he loaded his vessel (about 420 tons"
in 48 hours, the guano lying as thick as 300 feet; flirt
that, had it not been for the trouble of stowing, it wig"'
have been done in four or five hours. The guano Aar
conveyed to the hold of the vessel by means of canvass
hose. The Bug Islands are three in number, about. l 5
miles off Piseo, in lat. 14 23 S., long. 76 13. There is
rock in the centre of the middle island, which is half II
mile in diameter. The rock stands as a sort of landr.oo
in the ocean. The rock appeared to be a kind of whiten.

a fragment of it. The captain visited only two of
islands, and states that the air was very strongly inno%,

that it took him two months to load. The island is only

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—It can scarcely be said that
mere is a change in any branch of the hosiery trade; if any-
thing, the wrought cotton hose trade hat a little retrograded In
Some of the eastern villages. which in some measure may be
accounted for by the extension of the cut-up system. The cot-
ton cut-up hose branch in almost all its departments (and they
are many) still keeps very brisk ; the quantity of hose made
cut-up nearly trebles those made full-fashioned; the wages,
though very low. are considerably improved by the efforts made
1 during the late turn-out, and the town is reaping the full ad-
vantage. The drawer branch may be said to have rallied a
shade, still there are a great number of frames standing, and,
In some instances, whole shops; tit's is heavily felt in many
Parts of the town. The cotton glov3 branch still keeps. in a
very improved state, the hands bein , fully employed. V% e are
sorry to state that the silk glove trade, as well in this neigh-
bourhood as in Derbyshire, where till lately it has been better
than in this county, has again retrograded. '1 he plain silk hose
branch still continues in the same deplorable state that it has
sbeentil still keeps very
such a considerable time. The bobbin net branch
Ps very dull, and many of the machine owners are much
dispirited in consequence. The warp lace trade still keeps in
a imProved state, the hands being folly employed.—Nottingham
