_goodopimioa •( wf peraun employed by ths compan _;* _fhereu-ritae-s _hsda _hijh opinion ofClarke ] who was recommended to him as a superintendent engineer by Mr M _^ echam . _, . , _^// . _- ;; Mrnerne , aiaror : "* _Eto'itcoHie to your notice that tbe pwctiee of tjing do writhe valves has boen cen tinned in your boats since the explosion!—Mr Smith : Certainly riot . Such a thing cannot be imag ined . Mr Heme : _Thea I deei & _teto yoa that _onSatnrday last , I was on board of one of your hosts , and ontookiBg : down ; I distWUy saw tie levers of the valves fastened own . ( Sensation . ) " - ' Mr Smith : With regard to the strings attached to the levers , there are two ways in which they may be used—. one is . to replace the valves after they are _forced out of . their places , and the other to close them .
. the _Coroner : Did yon not ssy that yoa never saw the string- at all !—Mr Smith : I do riot deny having seen the strings hanging down , as they were necessary for replacing the valves , but I never imagined they would be u < _sed for fastening down the valves . " The strings bang down tbc engine-room close to the fire , where the man stood . He might either fasten themloosely , or else let them hang : down ; The Coroner : Did yon ever see tbe strings used f—Mr Smith : No . bat 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 f—Mr . Smith : I wish merely to describe to the jury the theory of their tue . . ; ' / . ' .-. - ' _-. : The Coroner : I decidedly 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 state that the effect of the four valves would be this , thatit the lever -valves were tied down , the steam woald escape bythe two Salter ' s valves , . which are generally weighed ten pounds heavier than the others . By Mr Chambers : Did yon , in making the contract with Sir 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 wbich Mr Joyce performed his contract ! Certainly . Making a calculation ofthe probable earnings ot that vessel , do yon think a good and safe vessel can be maintained at halfpenny fares f— -Certainly ,
Mr _cuamberstiere produced the contract between the company and Mr 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 _imprsved and very powerful boiler , and at a cost of £ 2 , S 00 . The boiler was to hare a Salter ' s safety valve at one end , and an ordinary safety valve at the other and . Mr Smith stated , ia reply to Mr Richardson , the solitor for Mr Jeyce , that Edwards had heen formerly stoker te the brother of Mr Poletti , the company ' s superintendent , and that on one occasion when that engineer went into on * of the 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 thought I bad done it for him , ' at the same time calling bim some names . There were unfortunately some dif . ferences between Skinner and Buttress , two of the engineers . and Clarke , but some of the other men agreed witb Clarke very well .. Clarke was not introduced to me in the first instance by Mr Meecham , but when I mentioned his name Mr Meecham ; said I could-not gets better-nan . The engines weremade , according to a patent which I took out for an application of Wolfe ' s _principle to oscillating engines . My patent secured tbe _princ-ple , but all tbe micor details were carried ont by Hr Joyce , Thero is but one boiler mentioned in tbe contract , aud Mr Joyce afterwards suggested that , it worid"ba safer and better to have two boilers .
ByMrM'Intyre : I did not think it necessary to examine the safety valves myself , after I heard the . charge against Clarke , as I knew they would not be left tied in my presence . Mr Smith was proceeding to detail again his conversation _w'th Clarke , when The Coroner , asked if they had not tbe facts already in evidence . _MrM'Intyre said bis object was to show tbat while casual passengers noticed tbe valves tied down , Mr Smith , though apprised ef the charge , and though a frequent passenger on board the boat , did not institute any further inquiry into it .
, Joseph Christopher Buttress examined : He said , before giving his evidence he wished tbat the witness Williams should leave the room , as it was probable he would have to call him to corroborate his _evidence . He then proceeded : I reside at 3 , Thames-street , Greenwic _*? , and am a fitter in Mr Joyce ' s employmenf . I occasionally drove the Cricket steamer when a hand was sick . I drove her on the Sist of March , and again on Good Friday . Clarke joined the Company on Easter S nnday . Became engineer of the Bee after Easter . Abont the end of April was sent on board the Cricket , while Clarke went to attend Mr Heecham , who was inspecting the Bee . I was an hour on board before I noticed that the safety-valves were tied . down , as 1 never thought that such a thing would be done .
They were tied to the beam of the ship with fivethread spun-yarn . 'I unloosed tbe ropes at once below , and as well as I conld see I think they were tied at the ends of the levers above . Ib the Ant and Bse there isa rope passing ova : a sheave for raising the _lero-, bnt there was no such rope in the Cricket . When I first went on board the Cricket I saw a small bit of thin cord abont a yard in length , which was use ! to try if the valve was free . In a night or two af er I accused Clarke of having' his valves tied down , be denied it ; and because Williams wonld not bear him ont is the lie , be was dismissed on the Saturday after by Clarke . Was on board the Cricket again on the Srd cf August , wben the strings were hanging from tbe valve untied .
By Mr Chambers : Th * Cricket went down to Mr Joyce ' s on the Srd of August in that state . Was an hour on board in April before I save tbat tbe valves were tied . It _w-is my duty on going aboard to see that the valves were correct , bnt I did not do so , as Clarke had said to me _ttat all was right . I was satisfied on seeing bythe gauge that the steam was all right . I looked repeatedly at the guage . I do not know whe . thtr the steam Hew off or not that morning . It is a sign of danger when the steam dots not blow off , andit was my duty to know whether it did blow off or not . It was not until Mr Meecham came into tbe _engine-rbo-a that I took notice -f the valves being tied . 1 then asked Williams , the stoker , whatit was , and be
sail , « Oh , Joe , don't touch that ; Mr Clarke has tied down the valves . ' I found the sttiags as tight as wire , and east them off at once . Mr Meechan did not see them tied , but he told the steker to runhis knife through the strings . 1 unloosened them before that conld be dane . I expected thas Mr Meecham would send a note to Clarke on the subjrct _, and whew he did not do so I accu-ed Clarke sf the matter : There is a repo rt . book to each boat , bnt I made no report iri it . There is no enmity between me and Clarke ; bnt I believe Clarke has a little enmity towards me . I heard some idle talk that Clarke was anxious to get me tamed away . That was about July . I ' left the company ' s service afterwards , and retained to Hr Joyce ' s _employment , where I still
Mr Richardson : I bad ho idea that tbe valves were tie ! down , and wonld just as soon thiok of opening the furnace door to try if tbere were any rats inside as going to try if the safety valves were tied down , because I never heard of such a thing being done before . When I first noticed the strings Mr Meecham was in my place working tbe engine , and bad his bark turned towards where the strings were . Mr M'Intyre : The reason I remember the eircnmstance 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 that the Company would some day or other repent allowing the valves to be tied , but I said nothing of it iu public . The witness * , on retiring , _Tkgged to state tbat hie wages an engineer of the Bee were £ 2 5 s . a-week , and net £ 2 Ws / 61 ., as had been atated . " ' Tbe Coroner said he believed it was then too late to go into the evidence of any other witness that day . '
A . short _disenssion ensued as to _tbs adjournment of the inquiry , in the course of which Mr Lloyd observed that he intended snaking an effort to burst the remaining " aol (; r on Thursday , and that on Friday same experiments wonld be tried on the strength of the metal of the shattered boiler at Woolwich . The inqnest was then further adjourned to eleven o ' clock oa Wednesday . On Wednesday morning at 11 o ' clock the adjourned inquiry was resumed . Richard Pater , 12 .. Bedfordbnry , stoker on board the Cricket : Tha valves were net tied down at ths time of
the explosion . I was stoker on the day of the accident , and was on board at the time . I left the engineroom wben the vessel was at Waterloo-bridge , en her last trip , and did not go down again before the accident . When we started from London-bridge the machinery was nil in order . I did not notice any escape of . steam wben we stood alongside the pier , I stood near the larboard sponson . We had been about five minntes er more alongside , when the explosion took place . It mighthave been ten minntes , or close npon it . I have seen tbe mercury-gauge as high as 40 degrees , hut never saw it abare tbat since I was in the Cricket ,
Bv the Coroner : I looked at the gange when we were _« - * Waterloo-bridge , and it was then at 25 degrees . That wa « just before we came alongside tbe pier . Clars appointed tne stoker . He paid me , and has ; the power of discharging me . A person on the deck conld not tell whether the yarn attached to the lever was fastened below ; he might ascertain whether it was fastened hy feelin * it . The yam wss tied about the middle of the lew . " I never saw it fastened ; I have seen it _pniledby CIa . keand _Hsisman . I have been left by Clarke to driFe the Cricket engine ; , bnt not more than twice . I was left to manage the whole machinery . Before 1 went into the company ' s service I was porter at a seed warehouse . The pressure , per square inch , at which the steam of the Cricket began to blow off , was 39 or 40 . I never saw the steam gange higher than 35 when Clarke was driving the engines .
George Ball , 6 , Regent-street , Blaekwall , waterman : Was mate of Cricket for abont seven months _previondyto explosion . I know nothing about the powers of the engine-. I can't say I knewwhata safety valve is . ( A laugh ) Clarke snd I are on good terms . I bave seen

him this morning outside ths room , but he tali nothing to _ino about the explosion . ¦' :. ¦ - . ¦ ¦ . _;> _ : ? .. _^ . _.-., ,. : : > The Coroner .---Then jou know nothing abont it ! . Witness ( with some emphasis ) . — . No , I . dos " t . ( A laugh . ) _f I saw the . steam blowing _. off just . before the _explosioa ' ag I was going down the pier . ; . I was about half way down the pier . It made rather a great noise . I am sure it was not smoke I saw . ( Laughter . ) ' ., By the Jury . —Tba Cricket never broke'down :. 1 don't remember her taking fire . . I dent know that she was out of repair . - ' v „ .,. ; , _i By Hr James . —I am sure the steam was blowing off loudly , just before the explosion . I am talking of the steam when the- explosion . took place . ( A . laugh . ) Clarke , Haisman , the stoker , and the captain , havo all been retained iri active service since the accident ; none of tbem have been suspended by the company . . 1 heard the steam Mowing off as I was going up the pier just before the explosion .. . .- : - - ¦ _-:
This witness , who professed the most comp lete 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 tbat he saw the steam blowing off just before the explosion ,- _~ and . subsequently reasserted his statement , which _hehad before denied , that the steam he saw wascoming out . of thefunnelJnst before the explosion . •; .: „ ¦ . -, _'v -. _"» _IMr Hamilton and Mc Hockey , who were on . hoard at the time of the explosion , distinctly swore , in contradiction to the last witness , that no steam . was , blowing off at the time of or previously tothe explosion .. Benjamin Hash , 5 , Acacia-place , Acacla-road , ; St Joha _' _s-wood _, secretary of the Ant and Bee Company .. I keep a report book , for which the captains give me a statement of what had occurred during the week .
By the Jury . —I did not see Edwards at the tuns this entry was made . He was dismissed soon after . A Juror . —And for making this complaint ! Witness . —Ho . The fact _wasj that Edwards ran upon deck , and stated this before all the passengers , while he ought to have made the communication to me , er some of the proprietors . From the manner in which Edwards was represented to have made the statement about the valves being tied , I should suppose -most ofthe _passerigers might have heard it . Clarke is in onr employ now . I don ' t know what boat he drives . I think he has driven some vessel since the accident . . The captain does not report ai to a single journey whether the boat is driven byastoktrornot . I bave seen Clarke , to-day .
Areport was made to me by Edwards , the stoker , about the valves being tied down sereral months ago , but I . can't speak to the exact time . I did riot look to see whether the statement was true . . I saw Mr Meecham on boar / done day , about a week or more after _| that report was made , and as he came np the steps af . the engine-room ,. I heard him say , Do away , with the strings altogether . ' The Coroner , ; addressing the witness , observed , that he wished other persons in the , employment ofthe company had given their evidence in as straightforward a way as he had done ... Tht . conduct of the witness while nndtr examination had been most satisfactory , and contrasted strongly with the mariner in which other persons had given their-evidence . .
The inquest was then adjourned to Saturday morning , at 10 o ' clock , for the purpose of taking the evidence of several other witnesses who were , on board the Cricket , or in the immediate neighbourhood , at tbe time of . the explosion . It was understood that tbe evidence of Mr Lloyd , the gentleman deputed 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 .

Addrbss of the Chartists of Makchestbr to MrW . DrxoH . Sib . —We , the members of the Charter Associa tion ofthe Manchester locality , in conjunction with the members ofthe Land Company , respectfully tender you our sincere congratulations , on the proud position to which you have _beenraisedby ' _. the suffrages of friends , who have 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 onr sorrowin losine one
who has so faithfully discharged the duties , of secretary to this brancb , and whose accuracy of accounts , and alacrity at all times manifested for ' tlie interest of the members , have procured for him feelings of respect and esteem , whieh nothing but a dereliction from principle or duty can depreciate er destroy . Permit ns how , to remind you that the agitation for the Land is , and onghtto be , secondary to the agitation for the enfranchisement of those , who produce what others enjoy . Tou have : often told us that the political evils under which we groan , spring from one source , namely , class legislation . Ton 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 paaacea for all oar national wrongs . , We are proud in being able to bear testimony to the consistency which has marked your political career during . a five years' residence amongst us . Calumny would not move , persecution could not intimidate . The malignancy of a base press pouring forth the vilest a landers , the incarceration of your coadjutors and friends , the surveillance of the police , and the threats of prosecution , could never induce you to relinquish your post , or flag . In yoa has beea verified the fact
that—. The dnrigtion ' s gloom no terror gives To him who for his country lives ; Firm as an adamantine reck , Serene _hestonds'mid every shock , Supported hy the patriots'Sod , He laughs to scorn the tyrant ' s rod . Go en , then , in the same noble course , denouncing tyranny—exposing injustice , recommending temperance , diffusing knowledge , defending your order , and whi ' e the major portion of your time is engrossed in the fulfilment of your duties as a director , let the principles of the People ' s Charter bs 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 aud fostered it till it became a stupendous reality ,. and still centiuues to watch over it with the anxiety and solicitude of a fond parent . In conclusion , accept _oitr best wishes for , the welfare bf yourself and family , arid when , at a distance , yorir thoughts . revert to the scene of your former labours , ybu 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 to the whole human family . . - ;• •' . _; . - _-A Farewell , sir , and may health , peace , and happiness attend you .

' Many books had been contributed to the Working Man ' s Library
, which were in the hands of their friend , Mr Ilarney . The rules of the library were , in progress of being drawn up .

It was said that the Chartists were people of no education , but they at . least knew enough to teach the ariatocracy , they would no longer quietly submit' to be . cheated of - their , ri ghts . Lord Palmerston delighted , . . m war , -but . with . . . such ., an accession of new members , as there had been to-nightenrolled , it was easy to predict that Lord Palmerston ' s reign in Tiverton was drawing to a close . _ThAvKoJ _oi _» a 1 , D

_ToMr Wilkinson , Exeter , Sept . 9 th _, 18 i 7 : , _Ssia , r-Ten years ago I differed witb you on Chartism , respecting the Universal Suffrage en _leglslatieu six months after 21 years of age . My reason was , tbat -1- thought youth about 21 years , was riot sufficiently well educated at tbat period , had not then read enough . Now the time is come whea the mechanic or handicraft man of 21 years Id , is as well informed as a lordling of the same age , and is as well quaK 6 ed to give a vote , as the lordling is to be voted for .
