on sio an we of wo cal coi to o-n coi th < de tei __ The Boiler Explosion near Burt . —The inquest on the nine persons killed by the recent boiler explosion at the bleach and dye wrks of Messrs . Warburton and Holker , near Bury , was brought to a close on Friday week . The jury , after a consultation of three-quarters of an hour , found that the boiler was very defective , and working at a much higher pressure of steam , than it was calculated to bear ; that the plates of the boiler had been corroded by the dampness oftlie brickwork , and reduced to one-third of their original thickness ; and that the owners had not exercised sufficient caution . They recommended a Government inspection . The coroner told them that this amounted to a verdict of Accidental death ; and a verdict to that effect was accordingly entered in the inquisition . ¦
The Habvist.—-A Favourable Change Having...
The Habvist . — -A favourable change having taken place in the weather , a large breadth of corn and other cereal crops las been got in ; but the accounts from various Parts of England show that the recent rams have had a deteriorating effect . Wheat and barley hare in maty instances , begun to sprout ; but the chilliness of tie temperature has kept the evil in some check . Tbero has also leen some discoloration , and in several localities a degree of over-ripeness , owing to a scarcity of labour . For the same reason , labourers are commanding very higb -wages , there being less coni- petition than usual from Irish reapers . As ranch as thirty shillings an acre has been asked for getting in the crops . Prices have again gone up . Notwithstand- ing the damage done by the rains ( which has probably been exaggerated by the farmers ) , it is believed there will be an average yield ; and the moisture has brought the root crops forward admirably . Health of London . —The present return shows a continued improvement £ n the public health . In the three previous weeks , the deaths registered in London were 1232 , 1250 , and 1122 ; last week , they were 1081 . The present Tate of mortality is very near the average rate of corresponding weels in ten previous year 3 , if the excess of deaths produced by epidemic cholera in 1849 and 1854 is not admitted into the comparison . The deaths caused by diarrhoea , which in three preceding ¦ weeks were 211 , 253 , and 214 , declined last-week to 190 . This disease was fatal last week to 141 children -who were less than a year old . The cases referred to cholera , and which previously numbered more than 20 , were , last week only 11 , and 8 of these occurred to children . With regard to other diseases in the epidemic class , the return exhibits satisfactory results ; the num- lers are either less than or do not exceed the ordinary amount . There were no less than 8 fatal cases of carbuncle . Fourteen children are registered as having died from want of breast-milk or inanition , 42 from atrophy , 36 from debility , and 31 from convulsions . Mr . Wilson , a registrar 5 n MaryleboJie , makes some observations on this" waste of infant life , which his experience leads him to attribute , to a considerable extent , to the practice which prevails among domestic servants and others of putting put their children , to nurse . Three women died last week at'the respective ages of 90 , 96 , and 98 years , " Last week , the births of 909 boys and 869 girls—in all 1778 children—were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1846-55 , the average number was 1431 . — From the Registrar-General ' s Weekly Return . A Fatal . Practical Joke . —Mr . James Cooper , and Messrs . Edmund and Alfred Hoof , gentlemen of Brent- wood , lately hired a stable of a baker named John George , to keep their stud of horses in . They determined to celebrate the bargain by a 'jollification , ' and accordingly sent for several bottles of port , and made the baker excessively diunk . Rumour asserts that the wine was drugged ; but , be this as it may , George became insensible , and the ' gentlemen * smeared his face ] and parts of his body with red ochre , made a red mark round hia neck , to give the appearance of the throat being cut , placed him in a barrow with his head hanging down , and-wheeled him home . The result was that he died . An inquest has been opened , but is adjourned for a post-mortem examination , in order that it may be discovered whether anything deleterious was given to the man . Mr . Cooper made his appearance , and was held to bail ; but the Messrs- Hoof are not forthcoming . ¦ Reverend Disputants . —A correspondence between the Rev . Hugh M'Neile and the Re-v . W . J . Conybeare appears in the Times of Wednesday . It has reference to a statement published in the Edinburgh Review , as long ago as three years , in tlie course of an articlo written by Mr . Conybeare , to the effect that Dr . M'Neilo belongs to " the extreme section of the Evangelical party , " and that he , in common with his followers , preaches " the worthlessness of morality . " This , Dr . M'Neile indignantly denies , and states that he demanded , at the time ' the article was published , that the statements should bo proved or retracted ; but no answer was returned . To his second application to the same effect , Mr . Conybearo replies ( without alluding to the charge of disregarding morality ) that ho cannot retract what he said about Dr . M'Neilo leading the extreme section of the Evangelical party , " as it is unquestionably true . " A Strange Rumotjk . — We are officially authorized to declare ( says the Times , in its largest type ) that a report which has been circulated by some of the daily journals of this and other countries , to the effect that the Portuguese Government hnd applied to the British Government for a squadron on tho occasion of the recent bread riots at Lisbon , is totnlly destitute of foundation . Manohestku Mechanics' Exhibition . —The opening of this exhibition , on tho 9 th instant , is to take plnco with less ceremony than was intonded . In addition to tho excuse of Lord Palmerston , who is prevented from attending by tho death of his brother , tho committee of management have also received letters from other distinguished gentlemen on , whose assistance they hnd calculated , and have thorcforo given up their intention of holding an evening meeting at tho Thoatro Royal . Mr . Oliver Heywood , the President of tho Mechanics' Institution , will deliver nn address in tho morning , and it ia expected that a considerable numbor of the season ticket holders will bo present .

\ ! ? — ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ . . : ¦¦ London , Friday Evening , September 5 , 1856 . Fine weather , and excellent accounts from all parts of the country of tlie abundance of harvest , has not had . corresponding effect upon tho Funds : The monthly settling is now close at hand , and perhaps the closing of several Bull accounts lias been one of the causes that has depressed tho market . IBut , above all , there is languor and inactivity in the Stock Exchange ! half the members are away , and the amount of business transacted insignificantly small . Heavy shares arc flat , tho only line in which there has been a crumb of satisfaction being the North British . The accounts from Paris of the Money Market aro not cheering . The last liquidation has gone offvery lamoly , and prices in shares aud Rentes have not been maintained . The suspension of pav- * ments hy the Royal British Bank has had a glooniy effect in tho City . Tho bank in question has been suspected for some time , and the' shares were greatly depreciated . If the whole truth of good and bad debts , liabilities and assets , of every Joint-Stock Bank could be known , and the question raised as to whether the best of them are in a position to pay their shareholders such large dividends , how many could stand the ordeal ? The price of all the Joint-Stock Banks has been affected by this stoppage . East Indian shares aro still a favourite nvestment . Great Western of Canada has decline ! 12 s . 6 d . per share , owing to forced sales from the country , and the temporary dispute existing between thej English and Canadian directors . Grand Trunk of Canada are firmer . Ottoman and Egyptian Banks are flatter-Ceylon and Riga Railways stand at about 1 $ premium ; the other new lines show no improvement . A demand for a few ; shares in good Cprnish mines has been shown during the week . United Mexicans remain at 4 ? . per share . Consols for Money , 94 b , 95 ; for Account , 85 i , 95 f . We are desirous of directing tho attention of our readers to a Company which has just been formed for working one of those miues of wealth which have hitherto received but little att ention , though whether considered as an investment for capital , or as a means of cheapening and augmenting food , tho particular branch of industry alluded to may well demand consideration . Wo refer to the British Steam Fisheries Company—another result of tho Limited Liability Act . The capital is 100 . 000 Z ., in 10 , 000 shares of 101 . eacli : and Mr . Roebuck , M . P ., is the Chairman of tho Board of Directors . The Company truly remark in their Prospectus that " our Fisheries remain in tie same state in which they were two centuries ago ; " yet the employment of steam power would greatly increase and facilitate tho means of gathering iu the . great haivest of the deep . This journal called attention in its leading columns , ' about ayear ago , to the Irish Fisheries ; but the British Fisheries are surely still more important .
