MO KE HALLWAY ACCIDENTS . ywcnwr . 1 . Accidevt on ins Konnreiw A . VD Eisreus Uailwat . — U ' e have to perform the painful duty of giring the details of another railway aceident , " by which one man has been killed and several persons wounded . The . scene of the calamity is that poriion of the Xorthern and Eastern line which was opened only a few days ago , and which , had been steely inspected by General 1 ' asley . On Monday tji » express or morning mail train left tho terminus of the junction station at Shoreditch at half-past eleven o ' clock , the usual Jiour for Norwich .- It consisted of two second-class and three first-class car riages , between which and the tender ant engine were the luggage van and a horse-box , containing tiro horses , aud at the rear of the train wan a truck and another horse-box . The train proceeded at its tssnal rate , averaging about thirty miles an hour , making two stoppages , as far as Wendon , in Essex , a distance of fortv-three mites from town . It was
tnen about five minutes to one o ' clock , and the hinder truck and horse-box having been detached , the regular signals were given and the train renewed its Cbtuse . The line between this station and the next , Chesterford , is atighily on the decline—we are informed one foot in 150 , and , according to all accounts , the speed here maintained was greater than in the preceding part of the journey , so much so , indeed , as to produce a violent oscillation of the carnages . Suddenly , on the train entering a kind of cutting , near a village called Littleborou § h , half way between the Wendun and Chesterford stations , the pisscmrcrs sustained a slight shock , which was immediately followed hy one of a more tremendous character , accompanied hr an explosion . It was some
moments ere the passengers recovered from its effects , and on looking out of the carriages it was impossible , for a time , to discern what had really happened , on account of a torrent of fire intermingled with dust and dirt , while , at the same time , the steam literally enveloped the train , and even when it had subsided the roaring of the engine was of a character to terrify the passengers ; still mure the io » ii shrieks fit the females for assistance adding not a little to the horror of the scene . A frightful sight presented itself to such of the passengers as alighted . The engine , after breaking away from the tender , had crossed the upline rails , and wad lying bottom spwnnls on the side of tlie cutting , a complete wreck . The tender was some distance in advance of the
tram , doubled up , whilst the horse-box aud van were on tire . Tiie first effort made was to extricate the passengers from the carriages next to the horsebox , which were sadly broken , the bodies being taken completely off , and flames issuing from the roof of one of them . Many persons were carried out for dead ; others were much bruised . In another part of the train the General Post Ofh ' ce guard in charge of -die mails was found tying on bis back , having been apparently thrown from his seat on to the line , and the wheels passed over him , for one of his legs was found to be shockingly crushed . The dense body of smoke and steam that issued from the disabled engine , and the ground being strewn with heated coke , the search for a time could not he proceeded with .
in the meanwhile the guard of the train promptly sent two or three of the passengers to the neighbour ing village and Wcndon , for medical and other assistance , and on the disastrous occurrence being made known , hundreds of persons flocked to the spot . It is impossible to givean . vadcquatc description of the state of the rails . liothlines , to the extent of near 200 yards , were torn up , the rails twisted - in various tonus , and some of the carriages were capsized . The engineer was found alive , hut the stoker was lying suder the engine , one of his hands just being perceived . It was in vain to attempt to extricate him with the means then at hand ; it was evident to all , from the weight that rested upotr the body , aud the violent action of the lire and steam , that the poor
fpUow must havebcen killed instantaneously . The Wstanders having procured various vessels , proceeded to shower water on the blazing trucks and carriages , and eventually succeeded in subduing the flames ; by which time , however , the luggage van was partially consumed , aud much damage was also done t » the pa ' -sengers' luggage . In an hour or so afterwards a pilot engine from C . -unbricbje reached ibe spot , and was immediately set to work in dragging o « raj- the wreck—the Hue being impassable both up and down . ¦ That necessary work having been partially accomplished , men were enabled to get at the engine ; and , in the course of two or three hours , iueceeded in raising the engine , when the mutilated remains of the unfortunate stoker , Richard Peahe
, were dragged forth . The body was burnt » nd scalded to a frightful extent ; it was placed on a Sttw , and removed to the Falcon inn , Littleborough , io await the coroner' !) inquiry . The guard , after being ntteuuVd to by the surgeons who were brought to bis aid , was after . vanU taken on to the Cambridge llo * jiital , where he nowliesinastatcofgrcatsuffering . Sarin" these operations , those passengers who were injured were conveyed into the adjacent meadows and ijelds , aud bid down until the necessary means had arrived to remove them to the neighbouring towns . They received every attention front a large muster of medical gentlemen from Wcndon , Saffron Waldcn , etc ., and later in the day were posted to their homes . As to the cause of the acciient . that has not as vet been
satisfactorily explained . The rails appear to have been well secured , and the previous trains running up that day had not experienced any impediment . We are informed that it arose from to great a speed being kept up upon the incline , a & a the case of the accident that happened a few years ago on the Eastern Counties . Railway , near Urentwood , when » he engine "jumped" off tbe rails . This point , however , will doubtless be settled hy the evidence before the coroner . Mr . Yarnehough , the superintendent «> f the locomotive department of the line , was , as we are informed , on the engine at the time of the acci-« Sent , and providentially escaped injury , excepting a violent shock , lie states that he was thrown from the engine , and found himself but a few yards from tie ponderous mass ; his escape may , therefore , be deemed miractuW . The escape of the engineer was a ! so truly astonishing . He was standing between the
engine and tender , with his face forward , when the first shock threw him violently against the drum of the boiler ; the succeeding shock sent him , to use ihe expression of our inuirmant , " flying" over the hack of the train on to the side of the cutting . On the intelligence of the accident reaching Sboreditcli late in the evening , Mr . Hanson , the manager of the imftV
railway excavators , of whom there was a large number at work , were engaged in clearing away the wrecked train and replacing the rails : but it was not isntil five o ' clock that this was accomplished The lias was then thrown open , and the trains in waiting at each end proceeded t >» and fro . The non-arrival of the trains at the Shoreditch station caused considerable alarm , aud during the evening the company ' s offices were almost besieged hy the friends of passengers . It is right to mention that Mr . Dowlmg the newly-appointed superintendent of the line , afforded them every information that would tend to soothe their alarm . The extent of mischief done is great . Besides thedestructionoftheengineand tender Sic loegage van was destroyed by fire ; the horse-box
was nisi destroyed , though the horses were preserved , and two second class and a first class carriages were shattered . We have heard the damage estimated at - £ SWH »« T / ieftdloveing is the Official Report . —An accident occurred on Monday to the train leaving town for Xorwiea at half-past eleven o ' clock am ., by which ihe firemen on the train lost his life , and one of the guards was seriously injured . From some cause , which cannot at present be clearly ascertained , the engine was thrown off tbe rails when passimrover the embankment near Wcndon , about twelve miles below Cambridge . It is thought that one of the wedges
iavmg started from its position was the cause of the accident . The engine and tender were thrown over apon the np line of rails , aud the trucks , with the passengers'luggage , and some of the carriages , were rerv much broken . Most providentially , none of the passengers were injured . The fireman was thrown Under the engine and killed upon the spot . One of the guards had his leg broken , and the engine-driver and the superintendent of the engine department were much shaken by the concussion . The officers of the company are sedulously engaged in ascertaining the cause of the accident , which at present appears involved in considerable uncertainty .
Fcbthek PAnnccLAKs . —Chestekfoed , August 6 . —General l ' a , 4 cy \ feiwtl tha saenf t of the accident this day , accompanied hy Mr . Phcpps , engineer of ihe line : Mr . Anson , manager of the traffic ; Mr . Joseph Jackson , centraetorof the line from Brandon lo Cambridge ; Tpn « g , tte'i 3 rivcr on the unfortunate occasion ; one or feoetMer officials of the company , and the reportersitV . the London and local journals , who , with alf , Anson ' s consent , joined the party . After General ^ Paslcy had minutely examined the state of the carKa-es , & c ., he proceeded to view the spot of the accident . On measurement , it appeared ihat it was 103 yards from where the first jump was
felt , and the spot where the carriages were forced off the wiL Tbe point , then of consideration was -whether too great speed , causing such a violent oscillationa ? eventually thrasr the carriages off the line , r a tanking- up of one of the rails caused by the immediately preceding train , was the cause of the accident . ;; On this General Pasley offered no opinion . Thegeneral feeling in the neighbourhood is that the biva ^ was . going at considerably upwards of "thirty mile ^ an hour to make up a few minutes of lost time . ' TMeagwe & r declares , on the other hand , that the speed wis not more than . twenty-eight miles an hour ; general 1 'iulcr gave no o ? in : oa as to the cause of the

accident Indeed , he was particularly reserved , for even to his experience the point to arrive at must appear so far involved in considerable mystery . It appears miraculous how the passengers in the secondclass carriage , so dreadfully injured , as already described , could have escaped , not only without loss of life or limb in a single instance , but absolutely without a wound or a bruise worth speaking of ; yet such is the fact . In the first accounts which reached London , and flew up and down the line , it was stated that both theguards—the Post-officc'sand . thccompany ' shad their legs fractured . This is not the case . The Post-office guard was slightly stunned , and no more . The company ' s man had his leg broken . He is now lying in the Cambridge hospital , his life safe ,
and with every hope on the part of his medical attendant that his leg will be spared also . It was set by Mr . Hammond , one of the surgeons of Addenbrook ' s liospital . The seat on which he sat had the foot-board completely smashed . The poor stoker , Richard Peat , had taken this ids first trip on the North-east line as an experimental one , being a driver on the Midland counties . Ue was a fine young man , and , melancholy to relate , had only been married six months . He is now lying at the Falcon Inn , Littlebury , awaiting the inquest , which was held on Thursday , by Mr . Lewi ? , the coroner for Essex , at eleven o clock . The trunk and head present the most dreadful spectacle , being one mass of crushed and charred matter . The engine , which was viewed the last by General Pasley , was the least injured of
all ; the part of which was shattered , was the firebox , under which the poor stoker lull , and was crushed . It appears tliat he held on , unfortunately , for a moment or so . Dad ho been thrown off , like Young , the driver , and Mr . Furmough , the inspector of the locomotive department , on the instant , in all probabi l ity his life would have been saved . It is worthy of particular remark , and challenges tlie 'At tention of the directors of the various lines through England , that General Pasley observed to-day to Mr . Anson and the other officers of the company present , that if there had been an engine behind as well as before , " the whole train would have been settled . " These were his emphatic words , hy which , to those who may not sec their force , he meant that the ear tiftgea would have been driven on , and every human being in them smashed to atoms .
The Inquest . —fhe coroner ' s inquest on the remains of the stoker , Richard Peat , took place on Thursday , at the Falcon Inn , Littlebury . The proceedings commenced at eleven o ' clock , when , after the preliminaries of swearing the jury and viewing the body were gone through , the first witness called on was John Herbert , a labourer on the line , who deposed to having seen the deceased at Stortford on Monday morning in good health and spirits . He identified the deceased . William Fernihough , an engineer in the employment of the company , and superintendent of the locomotive department , deposed that he left London by tiie half-past eleven o ' clock train . John Young was driving . The engine was So . 54 . The deceased acted as fireman . Witness
rode upon the engine from London to the time of the accident . He had not the control of the engine . Saw nothing wrong till he saw the engine vfi the rail . He held fast hold of a cock on the left side of the engine . He did not lose his presence of mind , and thought he might be saved by holding fast if the engine went on straight . He was thrown off where it turned over , and was blinded aud confounded among the fragments . When he came to his senses he found himself under the back part of the engine , behind the lire-box . He supposed , front the concussions he received , that he was torn limb from limb , and almost killed . lie remained half a moment , and finding there was no steam or water flying about , he crept out . He did not see anything of the deceased for a quarter of an hour . WLen witness got free he shouted out the names of the driver and foreman . The former answered , and he saw him reeling about on the side of the road .
Witness was so exhausted that he was obliged to sit down for a short time . The doceascdwas found about a quarter of an hour afterwards under the engine , and then only his arm was seen . The engine was removed last . It is plain the deceased must have been killed immediately , for the whole weight of the engine was on him , and one or two of the fire bars having been broken , the enke came on to htm and burned him . When the engine was removed deceased was on his back on the inner rail of the up-Jinc . Witness had been down the line every day since the opening except the previous Saturday . He thought they were travelling at the rateof thirty miles an hour . " When they approached the inclined plane they slackened their speed , as is usual to do . The driver was only known to him about a month or two . He considered him as good a driver as any in their service . He had been on the Manchester and Leeds line , and was remarkable for his caution and carefulness . He was more
backward in his driving than otherwise . He had reason to suppose that there was something on the rail ; that something was wrong in the stationary affairs of the line . Itoccurred as if a bar had been lying across tlie line . A stone would not be likely to throw it off by catching the flange , for it would be instantly crushed . Several witnesses were examined , including Mr . Phipps , the engineer of the line , who deposed that the accident must have occurred from the rising of tbe fore part of the engine , which might result irom the depression of that particular part of the rail , or from prcccdins joints putting the engine in a state of oscillation . This he was inclined to hold to , in
preference to ihe opinion that the train went at too great a speed , which would have made no difference is such a slight inclination . Certainly an engine and train might travel dowa it with perfect safety at tltirty-fivc . miles an hour . The Coroner said that it was very much to be desired that General Pasley should be examined , as be had investigated the circumstances of the accident , and in all probability had come by this time to a conclusion as to how it originally occurred . Under all the circumstances , bethought it his duty to adjourn the inquest until General Pasley ' s evidence could be obtained .. After some consultation , it was agreed to adjourn the inquest to Wednesday next , at twelve o clock .
The Lxte Accidbst ox the Loxnox axd Birurscuui lluum . —Death of Mn . Dkax . —We regret to announce that Mr . Charles Dean , civil engineer , of Gundy-street , Exeter , who had his leg crushed by the collision which took place on the line of the London and Birmingham Railway , near Chalk Farm , on the morning of Tuesday , the 20 th ult ., expired on Tuesday morning , from the effects of that occurrence . The fortitude whicli the unfortunate gentleman exhibited at the time of the accident , when informed that amputation was necessary , and subsequent to so painful an operation , left no " doubt on the minds of his medical attendants , notwithstanding his full habit of body , that his ultimate recovery would be effected . The reports from day to day , up
to Monday last , were that Mr . Dean was progressing favourably , and it was anticipated by his friends that in the course of a few days he would have been sufficiently recovered to be removed to Exeter . On the afternoon of Monday , however , unfavourable symptoms set in , audit soon became evident that mortification had ensiled ; the patient gradually sank , and died at a few minutes before two o'cloek on Tuesday morning . Mr , Dean , ill addition to an extensive business as a civil engineer , was agent to the Farl of Devon , on whose business he is stated to have been travelling to London at the time of the collision . He was 48 years of age , and is understood to have left a widow and family . On Wednesday evening , at eight o ' clock , Mr . Wakley , M . P ., coroner for the -western
division of Middlesex , and a jury of fourteen gentlemen of the narish of St . Pancras , assembled in the board-room of University College Hospital , Gowcrstrect , New-road , to investigate the cause of Air . Dean ' s death . The jury-room was thronged by medical and scientific gentlemen . Mr . Barker , the superintendent of the Birmingham Railway , attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the company . Prior to the jury being impanelled , Mr . Perry having been chosen as foreman , the jury were sworn , and the coroner , addressing them , said the inquiry was of that importance to the public that an adjournment would be absolutely necessary . Indeed he had only convened the inquest for that evening in order to enable the relatives of the unfortunate gentleman , Mr . Dean , to remove the body , as they were anxious to do so . He did not purpose , therefore , that they should cuter upon any evidence , but that they should adjourn to some dav in the ensuing week , after
having viewed the body . The inquiry would in all probability be an exceedingly long one , probably last the entire day ; and it would also be necessary to view the spot where the accident which caused Mr Dean ' s death happened . It was impossible to eomcto a right conclusion in a case like the one they would have to investigate without doing so , as it was necessary where the lives of the public were involved , that the investigation should be as searching as the circumstances of the ease demanded . The jury , accompanied by the coroner , then proceeded to view the body , which is that of a remarkably fine mail , but it appeared in a shocking condition . On the return of the jury to the inquest-room they were bound over in the sum of £ iQ each to again appear on Tuesday morning next , at ten o ' clock , to which day the inquiry was adjourned . The body of Mr . Deat f , it was understood , was to be conveyed to Exeter forthwith .
BRUTAL MURDER IN MANCHESTER . Maschesteu , Tuesday Monxixo . —Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr . W . S . Ruttcr and a respectable jury , in one of the rooms of the New Bailey , on view of the body of William Clapham , who was a prisoner , but in the prison hospital . The name of iberaarderer is Abraham Twcedle , who was also a prisoner , having been confined for two months for neglect of his family .. It appeared from the evidence that , the prisoner , the deceased , and John Taylor Veal , were inmates of the same room , and that the prisoner had been from time to time troublesome , and had often been rebuked by his fellow prisoners . On Safardav , about twelve o ' clock , there having been no previous " quarreli the prisoner was observed on uis hne ^' as if engaged iu prayer . On a closer ihspectiojf it ' was found that he was in the act of removing onejQf the iron cross bars of his bed . Veal remonstrated with him , and told him he would report him .
Mo Ke Hallway Accidents. Ywcnwr.1. Accid...
whereupon the prisoner drew the bar from under the bed , and aimed a desperate blow at his head . The deceased , who was close by , caught hold of tllC prisoner , and prevented the blow from -taking effect . He immediately turned round and struck the deceased on the head , and felled him on the bed , and whilst in this position he struck him with the same weapon eight or nine times , completely shattering his head to pieces , and strewing his brains about the room , llavirg dispatched his victim , he turned to Veal , but fortunately he got out of the room without sustaining much injury ' . By the assistance of Veal and another prisoner , the turnkey succeeded in securing the murderer , who was locked up in a separate cell . He affected insanity , and at the suggestion of the coroner , the inquest was adjourned till Thursday . ' _
Sheffield. Mr. O'Connor Delivered An Int...
SHEFFIELD . Mr . O'Connor delivered an interesting and practical lecture on "Land and Co-operation , " in the large Ainpithcatre , on Monday last ; Mr . Briggs in the chair . At the conclusion of the lecture the following resolution was moved by Mr . Pryer , seconded by Mr . Goodfod , and earned unanimously : — "That this meeting , after hearing the Chartist ' Co-operate Land plan expounded by Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., is of opinion that the obtaining of tho Land is the only means of relieving the labour market of its present surplus hands , and thus placing the labourer in an independent position ; and this meeting likewise begs to return unqualified thanks to that gentleman for his honest and untiring exertions on behalf of the working classes . " Thanks having been given to the chairman , the meeting broke up . -
GLASGOW . I ' m Laxd Pus . —a meeting was held here on Monday evening in Nelson-street Chapel , for the purpose of considerinsr the propriety of joining the Chartist Co-operative Land Society . Tlie meeting migh t be considered a good one . After a lengthy conversation as to the details of the plan , the unanimous feeling of the meeting was in favour of its adoption . Mr . Smith was appointed district secretary , and Mr . John Cameron , boot and shoemaker , Crown-strcct , was appointed sub-treasuror . The secretary began fhe work of enrolment , and in a few minutes upwards of fifty had given in theirnames . mostof whom paid their first instalment . On the motion of Mr . Sherrington , seconded hy Mr . Mann , it was agreed that the meeting should be held weekly , for the purpose of enroling members and receiving instalments
the next meeting to be held on > Yeunesuay evening , August 13 th , in tho same place . On the motion ol Mr . Mann , it was agreed that each member pay a levy of one halfpenny per shilling per week , towards defraying local expenses . The Land question has made extensive progress in Glasgow , as far a « public opinion is concerned , and I have no doubt , notwithstanding tho subject lias been a little long in being formally taken up , but tliat , with perseverance on the part of those who have now joined , tlie time is not far distant when the roll-book shall present several hundred regular paying members . So far as my experience enables me to judge , I find hut one feeling as to the Lanil scheme : and all the opposition that has been urged by selfish parties , instead of doing harm , has been the means of stimulat ' intr the friends to greater devotion to the cause . This is as itoughttobe .

N . B . —The above work may still be procured in num . bers , price Gd . each . " I have , within the last few months , visited every part of France , and 1 declare that I have seen more misery in one street in Dublin than in all France ; the people are wett chvfl , well fed , and merry ; they are all employed on Small Farms of their own , or on equitable takings I "Vide Lord Cloaewry's Letter in Morning Oij-oniele , Oct ; ott , 1843 . Those persons desirous of bettering their condition and of becoming "Iwleptndent Labourers , " by entering the " Productive-labour" Market , will do well to read "A Practical Work on . Small Farms , " by Feakgus O'Consoe , Esq . It contains much useful information , invaluable to the parties for whom it was written ; and Old Farmers will find many useful lessons in the new system of husbandry , which they have yet to learn . The work displays great practical knowledge , and is written so that any one who reads may understand , . Mr . O'Connor seems not to haveused either the ' old or fnen ; nomenclature' in this work ; he has not buried his meaning in chemical techni . jalities , which very few understand , but which most writers on agriculture seem so desirous of using . Perhaps they do not understand the practice of Farming SO well as lhc theory ; and , therefore , mystify that which they cannot explain , by some long chemical term , which the plain reader may pass over as a " aard wort ' , " hard to pro . uoimce , and harder to understand when it is pronounced . The reader will find that Mr . O'Connor has avoided all those hard names , and suited the language to the toil , ing labourer , whose college is generally the workshop , or , at best ,, the Sunday School , Though the work is written for holders of Small Farms , yet no Allotment Tenant ought to be without it ; the valuable information it contains respecting tilling and cropping is alike useful to all . "—Extract from a Farmer ' s letter , . "This really useful little volume ought to be in tlie hands of every one at all connected with agricultural pursuits . "—Lloyd ' s Weekly London Kewspaper . " Although we feel no desire , in tho language of the proud Peruvian , in contemplating what we hope to rejoice in , the contentment , prosperity , and comfort of our fellow men , to exclaim— " This , this is my work ; " nor is our object , as Mr . O'Connor declares his to be , " that each man who is willing to work may be independent of every other man in the world for his daily bread , " yet we can with much pleasure recognise in the book before us a powerful instrument for aiding iu developing in man a \ nuch higher destiny than lie has hitherto attained , "Mr O'Connor shows clearly , what will soon be apparent t- ) all who reflect deeply , that ire are not left without the means of obtaining not only all that is physically requisite for man's progress , but also that we may readily pro . d . tco what is apparently desirable ; ibr none who carefully psruse this work can doubt that a system of small farms , held hy active and industrious labourers , would amply return , in exchange for healthful exertion , far more than is requisite to preserve physical strength . " He also shews that something more than this is requisite to ensure happiness , for he says in page 121 , " I fuel convinced that man can place no reliance whatever upon liis fellow man , or a community of men , when circum . stances operate upon his or their minds , the influence snd effect of which would be stronger than any abstract notions . of justice . For instance , if a community of labouring num purchase a quantity = land , and hire la . bous ios its cultivation , hr-vever just their intentions and pure their motives , they will nevertheless feel themselves justified in raising the price of the land , according to the improved value conferred upon it by the labour of the hired workman . This power of steadily trenching upon the rights of others is one of tho greatest disadvantages igainst which the labourer has to contend ; and thoac aired by a community , at the end of twenty years ivould be in no better condition than they were at starting , while the community of proprietors would have increased the value of their property twenty-fold ; that is , they would have robbed those labourers , by whose industry the value ( vas increased , of nineteen shillings in the pound . " " These remarks are powerful arguments in the sphere in which they are written , and if examined iu their relation to the universal , they confirm the testimony that " The earth is the Lord ' s , and all that therein is ; he round world and they that dwell therein ; " for , after partaking freely of what is good for each order of creation , any self-appropriation , by whatever parties indulged in , is from evil , and win produce its consequence , UUmcfy , vice , crime , and misery . " We can strongly recommend Mr . O'Connor ' s work to our readers , containing a great amount of practical information on agriculture , which should he most popularly diffused .

Ryan are cf surpassim ? interest . Of late that gentleman has taken fof his subject the very important one off / ti ; causes of explosioni in stcamJjototrs , and the prevention of those arising from incrustation . These lectures have been somewhat varied this week . On Tuesday last Dr . Ryan lectured on die recent experiments performed by Professor Routigny . at the mcetimr of the British Association at Cambridge These experiments , it will be remembered , related to the tpheroidal shape of bodies when tit liijrh tcmiieratures , anif
its application to steam-boilers , and to the frminj , ' ol water in red-hot vessels . In commencing bis lecture , l > r . ltj-an detailed the principal causes of explosions ih . stcanv boilers , commenting , on the . danger of allowing the Hues to become over-heated , and the accidents which proceeded from such neglect , lit then ; went oil to ' , slio ' w that the maximum point of evaporation was much below the red heat of iron , being , in fact , not higher than 400 deg . Falit ., proving that no explosion could take place until the metal cooled down . The . doctor illustrated this part of hi » lecture by the experiment of pouring water into a platinum eructlilo ut . i white heat . The water immediately assumed the spheroidal shape , and continued in a state of action until the platinum cooled down , when suddenly the water became converted into steam with great violence , anil in this way there could be no doubt that boilers had been injured even ' after the tires had been removed . Here tlie learned doctor observed that these cxueriiuents were erroneously supposed to belong to Mous . Boutigny . TluS were , however , of long standing , having been nurfoiw ™
in runs , tittccn years ago ; by Afons . I ' ouillet . Valso m America , especially with a view of accounting for steam explosions , and they had been since repeated in tliiJ country hy Professor Faraday and others . The leeWte was concluded by an experiment which .. excited K » uc 6 curiosity and interest amongst the audience . It was tl » production of ice in a vessel at a jflowhu ; red heat , in the following mariner : —A deep phitina enpstlla was broug ht to a glowins reil heat , at the same time liquid sulphureous acid , which had been preserved in a liquid state by * freezing mixture and some water , was poured into the vessel . The rapid evaporation of the volatile sulphureous acid , which boiled at the freezing point , produced such an intense degree of cold , that a largo lump of ice . waJ immediately formed , and being thrown out of the red-hot vessel , was handed round to the audience , who loudly expressed their approbation at the result . This , Dr . ltyan acknowledged to be a new experiment , and , with a fevf other observations , conckded a lecture which had afforded both amusement and instruction to a numerous anil respectable audience .
