The Explosion. On- , ' Board The Cricket...
good o ^ iuiod any ptwoa employed company * Whereas witaea had * high opinion of Clarke , who was recommended to him as a superintendent engineer by Mr ^ Ciecham . j £ rHerae , a Juror : Has it come to your notice that the practice of tying down the valves has been continued ja your boats tinea the explosiont—Mr Smith : Certainly not . Such a thing cannot be imagined . JfrHerne : Then I declare to yon that on Saturday jast , I was on board of one of your boats , and on looking down , I distinctly saw the levers of the valves fattened down . ( Sensation . ) Mr Smith : Witb regard to the strings attached to the levers , there are two ways in which they may be usedone U to replace the valves after they are forced out of their places , and the other to close them .
The Ceroner : Did yon not s » y that yoa never » aw the strings at all !—Mr Smith : 1 do not deny having seen the strings hanging down , as they were necessary for replacing tho valves , but I never Imagined they would he used for fattening down the valves . The strings hung down the engine-room close to the fire , where th « nan stood . He might either fasten themloosely , or else let them bang down ; The Coroner : Did you ever see the strings used *—Ur Smith : Ko . hot I know the purpose for which they were employed . The Coroner : Perhaps it is better to leave the evidence on that point to the engineers or others employed!—Mr Smith : I wish merely , to describe to the jury the theory of their use . The Coroner : I drddedly think that all explanation on that subject ought to come from practical men .
Mr Smith : I am perfectly satisfied to let any engineer describe it , but I wished merely to give my reasons for letting the strings remain at all . I may irate that the effect of the four valves would be this , that it the lever valves were tied down , tbe steam woald escape by the two Salter ' s valves , which axe generally weighed ten pounds heavier than the others . By Ur Chambers : Did you , in making the contract with Mr Joyce , consider anything except the production of an efficient and safe vessel!—Mr Smith : Nothing whatever . Had yoa reason to be satisfied with the way in which Mr Joyce performed his contract ! Certainly . Hating a escalation ofthe probable earnings ot that vessel , do yon think a good and safe vessel can be maintained at halfpenny fares t—Certainly .
Hr Chambers here produced tbe contract between the -company and Hr Joyce for the building ofthe Cricket , -and read an extract from it to show that the vessel was to be fitted with a fair pair of engines of 16-horse power , -on the same principle as these on board the Ant and Bee , and with a much improved and very powerful boiler , and sSa cost of j 62 , 50 O . Tbo boiler was to bare a Salter's -safety valve at one end , and an ordinary safety valve at -the other end . Mr Smith stated , ia reply to 3 Tr Richardson , the sail--tor for Hr Joyce , that Edwards cad been formerly stoker to the brother of Hr Foletti , the company ' s superintendent and that on one occasion when that engineer went into one of tbe paddle wheels , he told Edwards to give the wheel half a turn , instead of which he gave it an
entire revolution , and was afterwards heard to say , ' I tooaght I had done it for him , ' at tbe seme time calling him . some names . There were nnfortanately some fllf . ferences between Skinner and Buttress , two of the engineers , and Clarke , bnt some of the other men agreed with Clarke very well . Clarke was not introduced to me in thefirst instance by MrMeecham , but when I mentioned his name Hr Meecham said I could not get a better man- The engines were made according to a patent which I took out for an application of Wolfe ' s principle to oscillating engines . Hy patent secured the . principle , bnt all the minor details were carried out by Hr Joyce . There is bnt one boiler mentioned in the contract , and Hr Joyce afterwards suggested that it vronldTbe safer and better to have two boilers .
ByHrM'Intyre : I did not think it necessary to examine the safety valves myself , after I heard the charge again- Clarke , as I knew they would not be left tied in my presence . Hr Smith was proceeding to detail again his conversat ion w'fh Clarke , when The Coroner asked if they bad not the facte already in evldmce . Hr H'Inryre said his object was to show that while casual passengers noticed tbe valves tied down , Hr Smith , though apprised ofthe charge , and though a frequent passenger on board the boat , did not institute any farther inquiry into it .
Joseph Christopher Buttress examined : He said , before giving his evidence he wished that the witness Wil--llams should leave the room , as it was probable he would have to call him to corroborate his evidence . He then proceeded : I reside at 8 , Thames-street , Greenwich , and am a fitter in Hr Joyce ' s employment I -occasionally drove the Cricket steamer when a hand was sick . I drove her on the 31 st of March , and again on Good Friday . Clarke joined the Company on faster Sanday . Became engineer of the Bee after Easter . About the end of April was sent on board the Cricket , while Clarke went to attend Hr Meecham , who was inspecting the Bee . I was an hoar on board before I noticed that the safety-valves were tied down , as I never thought that such a thing would be done .
They were tied to tha beam of the ship with fivethread spun-yarn . I unloosed the ropes at once below , and as well as I could see I think -they were tied at the ends ofthe levers abeve . fti the A . nt and Bee there is a rope passing over a sheave for raising the lever , bnt there was no such rope in the Cricket . When I first went on beard the Cricket I saw a small hit » f thin cord about a yard in length , which was osei to try if the valve was free . In a night or two af-erl accused Clarke of having his valves tied down , be denied it ; and because Williams would not bear him ant in the lie , he was dismissed on the Saturday after by -Clarke . Was oa hoard the Cricket again on the 3 rd cf August when the strings were hanging horn the valve untied .
By Hr Chambers : Tha Cricket went down to Hr -Joyce ' son the 3 rd of August in that state . Was an hour on board in April before I saw that the valves were tied . It w-s my duly on going aboard to see that the valves -were correct , but I did not do so , as Clarke had said to me that all was right . I was satisfied on seeing by the gauge that the steam was all tight . I looked repeatedly at the guage . I do not know whether the steam blew off or not that morning . It it a sign of danger when the steam dees not blow off , and it was ray duty to know -whether it did blow off crnot . It was not until Hr Meecham came into the eagin £ roem that I took notice * f the valves being tied . X then asked Williams , the stoker , what it was , and he
sail , 'Oh , Joe , don't touch that ; Hr Clarke has tied 4 o wn the valves . ' I fonnd the strings as tight as wire , i and east them off at once . HrMeechaadld not see -them tied , bat he told tbe stoker to run his knife through the strings . I unloosened tbem before that could be d » ne . I expected that Hr Meecham would send a note ia Clarke on the subjtct , and when he did not do sol accused Clarke ef the matter ; There It a repo rt hook to each boat , hat I made no report in it . There is no enmity between me and Clarke ; bnt I believe Clarke has a little enmity towards me . Iheard some idle talk that Clarke was anxious to get me turned away . That was ahent July . I left the company ' s service afterwards , and returned to Mr Joyce's employmint , where I still
Hr Richardson : I had no idea that the valves were tiei down , and would Just as soon think of opening the furnace door to try if there were any rats inside at going to try if the safety raises were tied down , because I never heard of such a thing being done before . When I first noticed tbe strings Hr Ueechamwas in my place working the engine , and had his back turned towards where the strings were . Hr M'Intyre : The reason I remember the circumstance sa well is because I thought at the time that it was done as a trick npon me . I often spoke to captains and mates about it , saying tbat the Company would some day or other repent allowing the valves to be tied , but I asid nothing of it in public . The witness , on retiring , begged tostatofbathis wages an engineer of the Bee were £ - 2 9 s . a-week , and set £ 2 lis . Si ,, as had been stated . The Coroner aaid be believed it was then too late to go into the evidence of any other witness that day .
A short disenssion ensued as to the adjournment of Yhainq . nny , inQie coarse of which Hr Lloyd ohssrved that he intended making an effort to burst the remaining oo ^ er on Thursday , and tbat on Friday some experiments would be tried on the strength of the metal of the ( battered boiler at Woolwich . The inquest was then farther adjourned to eleven o ' clock oa Wednesday . On Wednesday morning at 11 o ' clock the adjourned xnoair r was resumed . Bichard Pater , 13 , Bedfordbnry , stoker on board the Cricket : The valves were nat tied down at the time , of
tbs explosion . I was stoker on the day of the accident , and was on hoard at the time . I left tbe engineroom when the vessel was at Waterloo-bridge , an her last trip , and did not go down again before the accident . When we started from London-bridge the machinery was all ia order . I did not notice any escape of steam when we stood alongside the pier . I stood near the larboard sponson . We had been about five minutes or mora alongside , when the explosion took place . It might hare been ten minutes , or elate npon it . I have seen tbe mercury-gangs as high as 40 degrees , but never saw it above that since I was in the Cricket .
By the Coroner : I looked at the gauge when we were at Waterloo-bridge , and it was then at 25 degrees . That was just before we came alongside the pier . Qaftt appointed ma stoker . He paid me , and has the power of discharging me . A person on the deck could not tell whether the yarn attached to the lever was fastened below ; he might ascertain whether it was fastened by feeling it . The yarn was tied about the middle of tbe lever I never saw it fastened ; I have seen it pulledby Clarke and Hainan . I haro been left hy Clarke to drive the Cricket engine ; but not more than twice . I was left to manage the whole machinery . Before I went into the company ' s service I was porter at a seed warehouse . The pressure , per square inch , at which the steam of theCricket began to blow off , was 89 or 40 . I never taw the steam gauge higher than 35 when Clarke was driving the engines .
George Ball , 6 , BegenUtreet , Blaekwall , waterman : Was mats of Cricket for about seven months previoaslyto explosion . I know nothing about the power * of the engines . I can ' t say I knawwhata safety valve is . ( A laugh . ) Clarke and I are on good terms . I hare seen
The Explosion. On- , ' Board The Cricket...
t . m , this morning outside the room , but he said nothing to me about the explosion . The Coroner . —Then you know nothing about it ! Witness ( with some emphasis ) . —No , I don't . ( A laugh . ) I saw the steam Mowing off just before thV explosion , as I was going down the pier . -1 was about halfway down the . pier .. ; It made rather a great noise . I am tare it . was not smoke ( saw . ( Laughter ) By the Jury . —Tha Cricket never broke down : 1 don't rammber her taking fire . I den ' t know that she wat oat of repair . By Hr James—I am sure the steam wat Mowing off londly jast before the explosion . I am talking of the steam when the explosion took place . ( A laugh . ) Clarke , Haisman , the stoker , and the captain , have all been retained in active service since the accident ; none of them have been suspended by the company . I heard the steam blowing off as I was going up the pier just before the explosion .
This witness , who professed the most complete ignorance of the machinery of the vessel , gave very contradictory evidence upon the point whether the steam was blowing off at the time of the explosion , at first he stated that he saw the steam blowing off jast bsfore the explosion , and subseanently reasserted his statement , which he had . before denied , that the steam he saw was coming out of the funnel just before the explosion . Hr Hamilton and Mr Hockey , who were on board at tbe time ofthe explosion , distinctly swore , in contradiction to the last witness , tbat no steam was blowing off at the time of or previously to the explosion . Benjamin Nash , 5 , Acacia-place , Acacia-road , St Joha ' s-wood , secretary of the Ant and Bee Company . 1 keep a report book , for which tbe captains give me a statement of what bad occurred during the week .
By the Jury . —I did not see Edwards at the Urns this entry was made . He was dismissed soon after , A Juror . —And for making this complaint ! Witness . —So . Tho fact was , that Edwards ran upon deck , and stated this before all the passengers , while he ought to hare mads the communication to me , or some of the proprietors . From the manner in which Edwards was represented to have made the statement about tbe valves being tied , I should suppose most of the passengersmight have heard it . CI vke is in our employ now . I don ' t know what boat he drives . I think he has driven some vessel since the accident . Tbe captain does not report as to a single journey whether the boat is driven by a stoker or not . I have seen Clarke to-day . A
report was made to me by Edwards , the stoker , about the valves being tied down several months ago , bnt I can ' t speak , to tho exact time . I didnot look toseewhetherthe statement was true . I saw Hr Heeeham en board one j day , about a week or more afterjthat report was made , and a * be czme up tho steps ef the engine-room , 1 heard htm say , ' Do away with the strings altogether , ' The Coroner , addressing the witness , observed , that he wished other persons in the employment of tbe company had given their evidence in as straightforward a way as he had done . The conduct of the witness while nnder examination had been most satisfactory , and contrasted strongly witb the manner in which other persons had given their evidence .
The inquest was then adjourned to Saturday morning , at 10 , 0 ' clock , for the purpose of taking the evidence of several other witnesses who were on board tho Cricket , or in the immediate neighbourhood , at tbe time of the explosion . It was understood that the evidence of Hr Lloyd , the gentleman depnted to examine the engines on the part of the government , and of the other scientific gentlemen by whom the engines have been inspected , would be proceeded with on Monday .

Address Of The Chartists Of Mascubsikb T...
Address of the Chartists of Mascubsikb to Mr W . Dixon . ^ Sib . —We , tbe members of tho Charter Association ofthe Manchester locality , in conjunction with the members of tbe Land Company , respectfully tender yoa our sincere congratulations , on the proud position to which ' you have been raised by . ' the suffrages of friends , who hare long known , and appreciated your exertions in the great cause of human progression . But , sir , notwithstanding the sincerity of our congratulations , on your appointment to the important office of Director to the National Land Company , we are not ashamed to avow our sorrow in losing one who has so faithfully discharged the duties of
secretary to this branch , and whose accuracy of accounts , and alacrity at all times manifested for tbe interest of the members , bare procured for him feelings of respect and esteem , which nothing bnt a dereliction from principle or duty can depreciate er destroy . Permit us now , to remind you that the agitation for the Land is , and ought to be , secondary to the agitation for the enfranchisement of those who produce what others enjoy . You have often told us that the political evils under which we groan , spring from one source , namely , class legislation . You have often in strains of true and powerful eloquence , denounced that moHstrocity—you have also pointed
out the remedy , and . by arguments most convincing , clearly proved the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter , to be the effectual paifacea for all our national wrongs . We are proud in being able to bear testimony to tbe consistency which has marked your political career during a five years ' residence amongit us . Calumny would not move , persecution could not intimidate . The malignancy of a base press pouring forth tbe vilest slanders , the incarceration of your coadjutors and friends , tbe surveillance of tbe police , and the threats of prosecution , could never induce yoa to relinquish your post , or Bag . In yon has been verified the fact
that—The dungeon ' s gloom no terror gives To him who for his country href ; Finn as an adamantine reck , Serene hestands ' mid every shock , Supported hy thepatriots * God , He laughs to soorn the tyrant ' s rod . Go on , then , in tbe same noble course , denouncing tyranny—exposing injustice , recommending temperance , diffusing knowledge , defending your order , and whi ' e tbe major portion of your time is engrossed in the fulfilment of your duties as a director , let the principles of the People ' s Charter be paramount in your mind . Never shrink from their advocacy for a moment , nor forget that Chartism called the magnificent Land project into existence , and nursed and
fostered ' it till it became a stupendous reality , and still continues to watch over it with the anxiety and solicitude ofa fond parent . In conclusion , accept oar best wishes for tbe welfare of yourself and family , and when , at a distance , your thoughts revert to the scene of your former labours , you will be pleased to think that you are still remembered by the Chartists of Manchester , as a sincere friend of Democracy , a talented exponent of its principles , and a benefactor te the whole human family . Farewell , sir , and may health , peace , and happiness attend you . Signed on behalf of the meeting . W . Geocoit , Chairman .

Tiverton . —The first monthly meeting of the Chartist Association was held on Friday evening , the 10 th of September , at tbe White Ball Inn , and was very numerously attended . W . J . P . Wilkinson , Esq ., ex-Mayor of Exeter , was present . The chair was taken by our patriotic friend , Mr W , Rawcliffe , supported by Mr Francis Burgess . The secretary said he had received a letter from Barnstaple , urging the propriety of holding county delegate meeting . He was happy to find , by perusing that part of the Northern Star appropriated to the answer of correspondents , that there were several parties interesting themselves for the men of Tiverton . 20 new members had this evening been enrolled . Many books had
been contributed to the Working Man ' s Library , which were in the hands of their friend , Mr Harney . The rules of the library were in progress of being drawn up . The secretary of tbe Land Company then rose and said , that he was happy to inform them , tbat since the visit of tbe people ' s member ,: G . J . Harney , Esq ., to Tiverton , the members of the Land Company had increased from 30 to above 50 members . He proposed , 'The health of their noble friend , W . J . P . Wilkinson , Esq ., for his kindness in visiting Tiverton , to further the objects of themeeting , ' which was drank in a most enthuaiastio manner . The Chairman , Mr W . Rowcliffe , here made a few remarks oh the excellent character of Mr Wilkinson , and spoke at some length on tbe Charter and the
present condition of tbs people . He wished to know why the people should abide by laws they have no voice in making ? and spoke of the Whigs as being men of no principle . W . J . P . Wilkinson , Esq ., then rose and said : The people are the source of all power . It was said that the Chartists were people of no education , but they at least knew enough to teach the aristocracy , they would no longer quietly submit to be cheated of their rights . Lord Palmorston delighted in war , but with suoh an accession of new members , as there had been to-night enrolled , it was easy to predict that Lord Palmenton ' s reign in Tiverton was drawing to a close . Thevhad nlwnv »
fancied tbey bad a liberal press , but after this election , when he saw only the speech of my Lord palmer & ton in the Timet , he could be at no loss to estimate the liberality of such papers . He lately asked the editor of tha Western Times , the reason he did not report the speech of Mr Harney ? The editor paid he did not hear it . They were all alike corrupt . The people , howover , could bring them to what they wished them to be . A gentleman proposed , to-night , that they should call on the landlord of tho houao for the Nortiiem Star . Let them do so in every house they visited . He had that morning received a letter he would read to them : —
To Mr Wilkinson , Exeter , Sept . 9 th , 1847 ; Sie , —Ten years ago I differed with you on Chartism , respecting tbe Universal Suffrage on legislation six months after 21 years of age . My reason was , that I thought youth about 21 years , was not sufficiently well educated at that period , bad not then read eiough . Now the time is oome when the mechanic or handicraft man of 21 years ele « , is as well informed as a lordling of ( he same age , and l » as well qualified to give a vote , as the lordling is to be voted for . Many young lordlings have been put fortvavd

Total « 1 , 206 4 , 985 117 500 120 A largo number of the beasts reported in the above arrivals have come to hand in tolerably good condition , but the quality of the other kind of stock has proved very iu . ferior , especially tho pigs , many of which have been nea-ly covered w . th hair six inches in length , forming a remarkable contrast- to tbe English breeds . The sheep from Antigua have been sent hither for breeding purposes , and we may add that the import is a novel one . At the various outports , the arrivals of foreign boasts and other stock have been again extensive , viz , 800 oxen and cows , 2 , « 03 sheep and lambs , 12 o calves , and 200 pigs , mostly from Hamburg and Rotterdam . The quality Of those imports , however , has ' proved very in . f rior . * ¦ ¦
To-day we had on offer l , e 20 heasts , 3 , 029 sheep and lambs , 202 calves , and 20 pigs , chiefly from Holland . This large supply met a very dull sale , at a gent-nil decline in the quotations of from 2 d to 4 d per Sffis . Th- \ supply of home-fed beasts brought forward was the largest on record , the time of year considered : and the miserable condition in which the principal droves came to hand from the north fully proves the great searoity of pasture herbage iu the larger grazing districts . Notwithstanding the immense number of beasts brought forward , the primest Scots , Herefords , and Derons , from their extreme scarcity , sold at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday last , or from Is 2 d to 4 s gd per 81 bs ; but those of all other breeds suffered a decline of from 2 d to 4 d per SJbs , without a clearance being effected . Some of the most Inferior beasts were not worth more than 3 s per Slbs . From Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamptonshire , & c , wo received 2 , 300 short horns ; from the eastern , western , and midland counties , 900 Herefords , runts , Devous , Scots , and short horns ; from other parts of England , 7 Q 0 . of v & rfoui bmAs' ami from Scotland \ U horned and polled Scots ,

The quality of the sheep was again very indifferent . The number of Iambs was tolerably good , but as tbe season is now rapidly passing away , the amount of business doing in that description of stock was trifling , at almost nominal prices .
