      gooft opinion « f « ny person employed bv tb » company , waereM witness had a high opinion of Clarke , vrbo wu ^ ommenaea to him as a superintendsnt engiawr by Mr Xaeeham . Mr Ilerne , a juror : Has it came to yncr notice that the practice of tying down the valves ha » beea continued in your boats rinca the explosiont— Mr Smith : Cer tainly not . Such a thing cannot be imagined . Mr Herns : Then I declare to yon that on Saturday last , I was on board of one of your boats , end on looking down , I distinct !; saw the levers of the valves fastened down . ( Sensation . ) Mr Smith : With regard to the strings attached to the levers , there a *« r two wajs in which they may be u&ed--onewtowplace the valves after they are forced out of their pVices , and the other to close them .

      The Oone : Did you not s » y thatyoa never saw toe siring at all!—Mr Smith : I do not deny having seen the strings hanging down , as they were necessary for rep ! adn ; the valves , bnt I never imagined they would be used for fastening dowa the valves . The strings cnng domi the engine-room close to the fire , where the wan stood . He might either fasten themloosely , or else let them hang down ; The Coroner : Sid yon ever see the striacs used !—3 Ir Smith : No . but 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 use . 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 , bnt I wished merel y to giva my reasons for letting the Strings remain at all . I may state that the effect of the four valves would be this , that it the lever valves wera tied down , the steam woald escape by the tiro Salter ' s valves , which ; are generally weighed ten , pounds heavier than the others . By Mr Chambers : Did you , in nuk ' rag the contract with Mr Joyce , consider anything except the production of an efficient and safe vessel !—Mr Smith : Nothing whatever . Had you reason to be satisfied with the way in which Mr Joyce performed his contract ! Certainly . Maldng . a calculation of the probable earnings ot that vessel , do you think a good and safe vessel can be maintained at halfpenny fares t—Cer tainly .

      Mr Chambers here produced the contract between the company and Hr JojccfOTthe building of the 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 at a cost of . £ 2 , 580 . The boiler was to have a Salter ' s safety valve « t one end , and an ordinary safety valve at the other end . Hr Smith stated , in reply to Mr Kichardron , the solitor for Hr Jayce , that Edwardx had beea formerly stoker te the brother of Mr Foletti , the company's superintendent , and that on one occasion when that engineer went into one of the peddle wheels , be told Edwards to give the wbsel half a turn , instead of which he cave it an

      entire revolution , and was afterwards beard to say , ' I thought I had done it for him . ' at the same time calling him some nines . There were anfortanately some differences between Skinner and Battregs , two of the engineers , and Clarke , but some of the other men agreed - with Clark ? very well . Clarke was not introduced to me in the first instance by Mr Meecham , Irat when I mentioned his name Mr Meecham eaU I could not getabetterman . The engtaes we made according to a patent which . I tookoutfor an Application of Wolfe's principle to oscillating engines . My patent secured the prinaple , but all the micor details were carried out by Mr Jojce . There is hut one boiler mentioned in the contract , and Mr Joyce Afterwards suggested that it would * ba safer and better to have two boilers .

      By Mr M'lntyre : I did not think it necessary to ex . amine the safety valves myself , after I heard tie charge again : Clarke , a * 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 the facts already in evidence . Mr M'lntyre said his object was to shoi ? that while casual passengers noticed the valves tied down , Mr Smith , though apprised of the charge , and though a freqneat passenger on board the boat , did not institute any further inquiry into it .

      Joseph Christopher Buttress examined : He said , before giving bis evidence he wished that the witness Williams should leave the room , as it was probable he wonld have to call htm to corroborate his evidence . He then proceeded : I reside at 3 . Thames . 6 treet , Greenw ' e % and am a fitter in Mr Joyce ' s employment I occasionally drove the Cricket steamer when a hand was sick . I drove her on the 81 st of March , and apain on Good Friday . Clarke joined the Company on Easter Sunday . Became engines * of the See star Easter , About the end of April was sent On board the Cricket , while Giarke went to attend Mr Meecham , who was inspecting the Bee . I was an hour 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 ta » beam of the snip with five , thread spnn-yarn . I unloosed the ropes at once below , and as well as I could see I think they were tied at the ends of the levers above . In the Atu and Bee there is a rope pagsiug over a sheave for raising the levtr , bnt there waa no such rope in the Cricket . When I first went on beard the Cricket I saw a small bit of thin cord about a yard in length , which wasnseito try if the valve was free . In a night or two aferl accused Clarke of having his valves tied down , he denied it ; and because Williams would not bear him nt in the He . -he was dismissed on the Saturday after by Clarke . Was on board the Cricket again on the 3 rd of August when the strings were hanging from the valve TJDtied .

      Bj Mr Chambers : Ths Cricket went down to Mr Joyce ' s on the 3 rd of August in that state . Was an hour on board in April before I saw that fta valves were tied . It w * my duty on going aboard to see that the valves weie correct , but I did do t doso , ks Clarke had said to me tkatall was right I was satisfied on seeing by the gauge that the steam was all tight . I looked repeatedly at the gaage . I do not know whether the swam Hew off or not that morhing . It is a sign cf danger wheH the steam does not blow o 3 r , aad it was my duty to know whethwit did blow off crnot . It was not until Mr Meechsm came ioto the engine-roan that I took notice « f the valves being tied I then asked Williams , the stoker , what it wasand he

      , said , 'Oh , Joe , don ' t touch that ; Mr Clarke has ti'd do wn the valees . ' I found the sttiags as tight as wire , and east them off at onee . Mr Heechata aid not see them tied , bnt he told the steker to run his knife through the strings . I unloosened them before that could be « ne . I expected thas Mr Meecham would send a note to Clarke on the snfcjjct . and nnea . be did n ot do sol accused Clarke tf the matter . Thereisa report book to each boat , but I mate no report in it . There is no enmi-. y between me and Ciarke ; bnt I believe Clarke has a little enmity towards me . Iheard some idle talk that Clarke * as anxious to get me turned away . That was about July . I left the company ' s service afterwards , and returned to Mr Joyce ' s employment , where I still

      «•» . ¦¦ . . : " -ivi- " - . - : ¦ V ; Mr , Bicfiard « ra : I hfd no idea that the valves were tie * dosra , and wouldjust as Boon think of opening the furnace door to try if ttere 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 the engine , and had nis back turned towards where the strings were . Mr M'lntyre : The reason I remember the rircurastance sa well is b .-eame I thought at the time that it was done as a trick upon me . I often spoke to captains aun matesaboutit , saying that the Company would some d 4 y nr other r « pent allowing the valves to be lied , but * wd nothing of it in public . The witness , on retiring Digged to state that hie wages an engineer of the Bee were £ 2 5 s . a-week , and aet £ 2 10 s . 6 j ., as had been

      The Coroner said he believed it was then too late to go into Jhe evidence of any other witness that day . A short discussion ensued as to tht adjournment of the inquiry , in the course of which Mr Lloyd obssrved that he intended making an effort to burst the remaining bo ler on Thursday , and that on Friday some experiments woul . l be tried on the strength of the metal of the bbatwed boiler at Woolwich . The ir . qoeat was tben further adjourned to eleven o ' clock os Wednesday . Ou Wednesday morning at 11 o ' clock tie adjonrnad inquiry was resumed .

      Richard Pater . 12 . Bedfordbury , stoker on board th « Crick * : The valves were not tied dorrs at the time of the < rp ' . otioa . I was stoker on the day of the accident and was on board at the time . I left the engineroom when th ? vessel was at Wetsrioo-brid ge , on her l « t trf ? . and did not go down again bifore the accident . When we started from London-brid ge the machinery was s 4 l in crdar . 1 did not notion any escape of steam when we etood aloB-side the pier . I stood near the larboard sponson . We had been about five minutes or psore alongside , when the explosion took place I t vJghtJiave been ten minutes , or close upon it . I have se n the merciry-gauge as higa as 40 decrees , but never •* w it above that since I was in the Cricket .

      B j die Coroner : I looked at the gauge wh en we were Waterloo-bridge , and it was then at 25 degrees . That Ma * just before we causa alongside the pier . Clark appointed me stoker , lie paM me , and has the powar of ei-chargms me . A person on the deck could not tell whether the yarn attached to the lever was fastened below ; he client ascertain whether it was fastened b y feellag it . The yarn was tied about the middle of the lever . I never saw it f « stsned ; I have teen it pulledby Claike and Uaisman . I bave been left by Clarke to drive the Cricket engine ; but not more than twice . I whs left to manage the whole machinery . Before I Treat into the eompany'd seriise I was porter at a seed war « bouB 8 . The pressure , per square inch , at which iJic steam of the Cricket began to blow off , was 89 or 40 . I never saw the steam gauge highir than 35 when Choke ivag driving the engines .

      Gesr .-e Bill , e . Bejtent-street , Blaekwall , waterman Was tn&te of Cricket for about seven months prevlos-lyto explosion I know nothing about the power * of the engiECi . I can ' t * aj I Jcuawnhat s safety velreis . ( A : a « gli . } Cjarke and I are on gooi terms . I hare tetn

      tins this morning outside the room , bat he said notbin to me about the explosion . The Coroner . —Then you know nothing abontit ! --Witness ( with some emphasis ) . —No , i don't . ( A laugh . ) I saw the steam blowing off justbWbrethe explosion , as I was going down the pier . I was about half way down the pier . It made rathrf a great noise . I am sure it was not smoke I saw . ( fciugfater . ) By tie Jury . —The Cricket ne'er broke down : I don't remember her taking fire . I den't know that she was out of repair . By Mr James . —I am sure the sttam was blowing off loudly ju « t before the exploilon . I am talking of the steam when the explosion took place . ( A laugh . ) Clarke , Haisroan , the stoker , and the captain , have all beea retained inactive service since the accident ; none of them nave been suspended by the company . I heard the steam blowing off as I was going up the pier just before the explesion .

      This witueBs , who professed the most complete ignorance of the machinery of the vessel , gave very contra , dietary 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 just before the explosion , and subsequently reasserted his statement , which he had before denied , that the steam he saw was coming out of the funnel just before the explosion . - Mr Hamilton and Mr Hockey , who were on board 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 to the explosion . Benjamin Nash , 5 , Acacia-place , Acacia-road , St Joka ' s-wood , secretary of the Ant and Bee Company . I keep a report book , for which the captains give me a statement of what bad occurred during the week . By the Jury . —I did not see Edwards at the tims this entry was made . He was dismissed soon after . A Jurer . —Andfor making this complaint !

      Witness . —No . The fact was , that Edwards ran npon deck , and stated this before all the passengers , while he ugat to have made the communication to me , er some of the proprietors . From the mannerin which Edwards was represented to have made the statement about the valves being tied , I should suppose most of the passen . gers might have heard it . Clarke is in our employ now . I don ' t know what boathe drives . I think be has driven some vessel since the accident . The captain does not report as to a single journey whether the boat is driven by a stoker or not . I bave seen Clarke to-day . A report was made to me by Edwards , the stoker , about the

      valves being tied down several months ago , but I caa't speak to the exact time . I didnot look toseewhether the statement was true . I saw Hr . lfeecbam on board one day , about a week or more after | that report was made , and as he came up the steps ef the engine-room , 1 beard him say , Da away with the strings altogether . The Coroner , addressing the witness , observed , that be wished other persons in the employment of the company bad given their evidence in as straightforward a way as be had done . The conduct of the witness while nadir examination had been most satisfactory , and contrasted strongly with the manner 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 the time of the explosion . It was understood that the 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 .

      Address of the Chartists or Maxchxsibb to MrW . DrxoN . Sib , —We , the members of the Charter Association of the Manchester locality , in conjunction with the members of the Land Company , respectfully ten * der you onr sincere congratulations , on the proud position to which you have been raised by [ 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 yonr appointment to the important office of Director to the National Land Company , we are not ashamed to avow onr sorrow in losing one who basso faithfully discharged the duties of

      secretary to this branch , and whose accuracy of accounts , and alacrity at all times manifested for the interest of ths members , have procured for him feelings of respect and esteem , which nothing bnt a dereliction from principle or duty can depreciate er destroy . Permit ns now , to remind yon that the agitation for the Land is , and ought to be , secondary to the agitation for tbe enfranchisement of those who produce what others enjoy . Yon have often told us that tbe political evils under which we eroan , spring from one source , namely , class legislation . Ton have often in strains of true and powerful eloquence , denouncsd that mcrastrocity—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 panacea for all onr natienal wrongs . We are proud in being able to bear testimony to the consistency which has marked jour 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 slanders , the incarceration of yonr coadjutors and friends , the surveillance of the police , and the threats of prosecution , could never induce yon to relinquish your post , or flag . In you has been verified the fact thai-.

      The dungeon ' s gloom no terror gives To him who for his country lives ; Firm as an adamantine reck , Serene hestands ' mid every shock , Supported by the patriots ' God , He laughs to scorn tbe tyrant ' s rod . Go on , 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 ba paramount in your mind . Never shrink from their advocacy for a naoment , nor forjget 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 of a fond parent .

      la conclusion , accept our best wishes for the welfare of yourself and family , and when , at a distance , your thoughts revert to the scene of your former labours , you will bi pleased to think that you are still remembered by the Chartists of Manchester , as a sincere friend of Democracy , talented exponent of its principles , and a benefactor to the whole human family .

The secretary said he had received a letter from Barnstaple , urging the propriety of holding county delegate meeti B " . He was happy to find , by perusing that part o ? the Northern Star appropriated to the answer of correspondents , that there were several parties interesting themselves for the men of Tiverton . 20 new membera had this evening bsen enrolled . Many books had

      been contributed to the Working Man ' s Library , which were in the hands of their friend , Mr Uarney . The rules of the library were in progress ; of baing drawn up . The secretaiy oi the Land Company then rose and said , that he was happy to inform them , that since the visit o f the peop ' le ' s member , G . J .
