Gro. G. DATES LEcruRE.--During the
last fifteen years VIC have many tinc+
listened to Mr.. BATES, at the bar, the
hastings and elsewhere, but on none Of
those occasions did he ever acqnit him
self so well, or, at all events, so much to
our satisfaction as did he in his lecture
before the Lyceum of this city last Fri
day evening. His subject was-Caiiior-
MIA subject upon which he is as well
informed as he is enthusiastic. His let
tiers to the the Detroit Adcytiscr while
en- route for that region and after his
arrival there-and some of them were
decidedly sound on the ''nirgcr," posi-
ton from which he has since somewhat
ycccded--werc by far the best, most read
able aud interesting Of any and all the
California correspondence" we have ever
met with.
Mr.. BATES elocution was very fine; his
manner that of an orator and n polished
gentleman, character which be has pcv-
er failed TO sustain; and his language rich,
cbaste and eloquent. Aside from too
apparent cxtravagauce Of style in his en-
loSy on BRoDERIcK, and the Saginaw Val
ley, there was nothing in the lecture to
which we would take exceptions, and the
earnest, enwrapt attention Of the largest
and most intelligent audience We have
yet seen assembled here, which was only
interrupted by their frequent denonstra.
tons Of applause, attcsted how well they
were pleased with both lecture and lee
turer. At the conclusion a unanimous
vote Of thanks was rendered TO Mr.. BATES.

The Explosion of Dupont's Mills.

WILMINoToN, Del. Saturday, Oct. %.
The explosion of DupoDts powder mills
on the Brandy wine, yesterday occurred
about l0a o'clock, p. N, while the men
in the lower or hagley yari we're employ
ed in LOADING powder dust (as it is called
when in a certain conjitiop) at the press
room. to be conveyed to one of the other
one horse cart stood opposite the press
room door, partly loaded. The press
room "blew up With terrible crash; the
composition room immediately followed; );
a minute or too later the glazing room
and the two rolling mills simultaneously
being FIVE in all.
Seven men were killed and another
had bis aru broken. The wind was
northwest aHd high at the time, which
deadened the sound so much in the i'm
mediate vicinity that the men iu the up
per yard did not cease work on the in
.tant, and Mr.. Henry Dupont, who was in
the basement Of a cotton mill not far dis
tant. did not think from the light report,
that it was necessary to hurry to the yard
to ascertain the damage, if any had been
done. Two of the men we're blown into
tree, aud the beadess trunk of another
was blown to the opposite side of the
creek. Of tue others nothing could be
ascertaiped.
A strange feature in the explosion l.
that the horse was not killed. although
standing in proximity to the press room
when it went off. The cart to which he
was attached, aud which was partly load
ed with powder-dust. was thrown about
in fragments; the bor.e was entirely strip
ped of his harness, his hair singed of
one eye put out. aud one leg broken; and
vet, after the smoke aDd dust cleared a.
way, he was found limping about the
yard, exhibiting all the signs of painful
agony which he suffered He was knock
ed in the head and killed to relieve hiu
of his agonies. The names of the killed
men we're Moran, Sweeney. Sebar, Jaco
be. John Welsh, Michael o Donnell, and
E. Dousberly. The Corouer visited tbt
scene Of the explosion to look after his in
terests, bat could learn nothing, all tbt
witnesses having been killed.
The loss of the mills to Mes.rs. Dupon
is nothing The loss of life is the only
thing which sinks deep into their hearts
from their inability to restore it.

Cider Making Without Pressing.

1t Is stated that man at Parkersburg,
Va, is successful in making cider by the
following process: He grinds the apples
and fills casks with one end open. the
bottom have some sticks and straw, like
a leach tub for ashes. On the popaes be
pours as much water as would yield Juice
by pressure, and that displases the juice,
aud sends it to the bottom, from which,
after two days, it is drawn by opening
the faucet, and as the cider ia heavier
than water, it runs of at first pure. The
pomacs. too, having an affinity for water
absorbs that, which displaces the natura
juice, and leaves the pomaca quite taste
less This process may be useful to per
sons who have few apples and no eide
press.
