Sewous Accidest with Detonating Powbeii . —On Tuesday afternoon , a most deplorable accident took place in the City , which was near causing the loss of several lives .

in King-street , Cheapside , had several charges of detonating powder for blasting purposes left with him as samples , and subsequently finding ttam lying about he directed one of his men to put them out of the way , and the man incautiously threw them into a rubbish bin in the cellar . The charges , which were exceedingly powerful , were made up iu the form of something like a needle-case , and when applied to the purpose of blasting were capable of dislodging many tons of stone . During the week a number o painters had been engaged about Mr- Crofts premises , anfl on Tuesday forenoon one of them ' named B irefield was in the cellar mix-ng some paint , when he eyed one of the charges which was lying in the rubbish . Picking it up , anJ supposing it to be a needle-ca « e , he put it inlo his pocket , and at the time previously mentioned , he went with the rest of the workmen to dinner , at the Fountain and Star public-house , Castie-court , Lawrence-lane , Cheapside . In the course of the meal , BareSeld took the charge out ofhis pocket , and a
discussion arose as to what it maiiy was . One of them cut it in half , and found it to contain a substance which they supposed to be brickdnst . With a view probably of ascertaining mare sausfactorily its character , another of the company , a man named John Caulfcild , a waiter , living in the Canalread , Cimden-towR , then t < ok up the pieces of the charge , and commenced rubbing them on the tap-room table , when almost immediately they , exploded with tremendous force . Six men who were in the room were tbrown down by the concussion , and more or less iujured . The man in whose hand the charge exploded presented a most shocking spec « tacle . Both his arms from the elbsw joint were shattered , and some idea may be formed of the poor fellow ' s mutulated condition from the circumstance that portions of his hands and fingers were picked up on the floor . He was at once placed in a cab and conveyed with all haste to St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and in the coarse o ? the evening it was deemed expedient to amputate both limbs above the elbow , lie continues in the most distressins state . The nnline Huh .
fiequently searched Mr . Croft ' s cellar , and found the remainder of the charges which had been thrown in the rubbish , and of which they took possession .

Sdspkcted Smuggling at Southampton . —A short time since it was stated that the officers belonging to a Southampton and Havre passage stenmer had been subjected to a rigid search on their arrival at the former port by a metropolitan custom-house officer , on suspioion of being con > cerned in smuggling . The captain of the steamer complained to the Board of Gutsoms of the treatment he had received . The board have acknowledged to him that their officer had acted with too much severity ; that there was no complaint against him ( the captain ) or his officers peraO ' nally ; and that the investigation at Southampton was only tbe oompletion of a general le&rch for smugglei goods at all ports which had a communication with France . It appears that the officers of some of the English and French pwaige stc&vnets have beea detected smuggling watcheB to a considerable extent into this country from Franco , by means of a belt round their waist inside their clothes . Hence the reason of the rigid search alluded to above .

In this instance a quarrel had ensued between them , and the deceased kicked him , which was the cause of his turning again upon his brother .

Nicholas Codling , a tradesman belonging to that village . At a hamlet called Itedwell Hills , near Leadgate , a public-house , called the Jolly Drovers Arms , is occupied by a person of the name of William Teasdtile . In the early part of last year this person made an assignment , and passed through tho Insolvent Debtors' Court at Durham . Before passing , however , he offered to give up his interest in the public-house , and in August last it was sold by auction to Mr . Codling . Teasdale got the usual notice to quit , but at the expiration of the notice he refused to relinquish the premises . On Monday week , Mr . Codling , his father , and Mr . Bruvis , a solicitor , attempted an ejectment , but meeting a powerful resistance from Teasdale and his friends
they were obliged to retreat . Next morning , reinforced by half a dozen labouring men , they again attempted to force their way on the premises vi et armis , but on approaching them they found them strongly barricaded . After some conversation with those within , the besiegers made a desperate effort to force their way in by the back part of the premises , when a dreadful conflict ensued . The besiegers broke open the back door , those from within rushing out upon them . A young man by the name of Wailes , son-in . law to Teasdale , was amongst them armed with a gun , and taking an aim &t those forcing an entrance , fired , the charge grazed the breast of the foremost man , and then lodged in the legs of Nicholas Codling who fell , and this put an end to the fray . He was taken to a neighbouring house , and a surgeon sent for ; some Blug 3 were taken out of the wounds , but he never rallied , and expired on Friday ni ght last . The inquest was adjourned .
FATAL Coixisws . —Bury . —A shocking collision on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway , which resulted in the loss of two lives , was the subject of a lengthened investigation on Monday before Mr . T . F . Deardon , the coroner lor the district . It appears that between one and two o clock on Saturday morning a goods train was in the a « t of being shifted from the siding or branch line connected with the goods warehouses of this station , when the Normanton luggage-train arrived from Bolton , and came in fearful collision with the one which was being moved on to the snjo line .

and the driver , Robert Dunkerley , bad one of his legs cut off . ajuLgas otherwise much hurt . He died shortly afterwarfls . The stoker , Benjamin Hewley , was killed on the spot . He was thrown under the tender , and his body was not extricated until between six and seven o ' olock . It would appear that the Bolton train had not to stop at Bury and that it had been going at the rate of twenty miles an hour but on approaching the Btation and descending the incline us speed was reduced .

Hxti&vto . Governmen t Prosecution of the Pbbss . —The " Dundalk Democrat" gives a long and circumstantial account of the arrest , on Thursday night last , of the propiietor of that journal , on a charge " of having published a wicked and malicious libel on her Majesty ' s government . in November last , dsc . " Among the writings of a'libellous tendenoy was sn article headed , " How the landlords get on , " besides extracts from a letter addressed to Lord Roden , on the 22 nd of November last . Mr . French , the stipendiary magistrate , after cautioning Mr . Carton in the usual terms , asked him whether he wished to say anything to the charge . In reply
Mr . Carton stated that he had merely to state that , iu writing on the land question , his great object was to assist in amending the relations between landlord and tenant , as he considered its present unsatisfactory condition injurious to the best interests of the country . With regard to the extracts from the letter to Lord Roden , relative to democratic freedom and democratic rule , he had no idea to upset the present system of government , but merely desired that the people should possess greater power-than they do in the management of the country . Mr . Carton was then bound , himself in a * penaltyof £ 200 , and two sureties of £ 100 each , to appear at the coming assizes for the county of Louth .
Death op ins Roman Catholic Bishop op AcnoNRT . — Dr . ; M ' jSicholas , the titular Bishop of Aebonry , died on Thunday last , at Ballaghaderreen , in the county Mayo . Evictions in Connemara . —According to the Galway " vindicator " the Law Life Assurance Company are resolved to show the peasantry on the Martin estates that they have not been much the gainers by a chnfige of masters . Four townlauds are specified , from which seventeen families , comprising sixty-eight persons , have recently been evicted ; in addition to which it is stated that the managers of the estates have ordered 3 , 000 notices to be printed , for service on the union relieving officers , preparatory to the " sweeping depopulation contemplated at the next quarter-sessions in April- " MoreFAiLURES . ~ The "Freeman ' s Journal" gives the following particulars respecting the failure of the house of
James Foxall and Co : — " Their liabilities , which have been rediculously exaggerated , so large a sum as £ 200 , 000 having been named , are moderate , considering the magnitude of the house , and the amount has been greatly reduced by the continuous pressure which has been made upon them for the last two months . The entire direct debts do not exceed £ 13 , 000 , to which may be added about £ 10 , 000 of doubtful endorsements . The assets , we fear , are not great , probably from £ 4 , 000 to £ 5 , 000 ; but the amount is greatly dependant on the realisation of produce to the extent of £ 25 , 000 , in the hands of third parties , who have made advances , and upon which there is , of course , a frightful depreciation ) Several failures have , of course , followed upon this leading one . Messrs . Foxall and Barrington have stopped with liabilities to the extent of about £ 12 , 000 , and the result will be very unfavourable . Messrs , Thomas Barrington and Co . about £ 5 , 000 . Th « e pnmes have had a meeting of their creditors , and met with a very favourable reception , a settlement of 12 b . in the pound , at three , six , nine , and twelve months ,
being agreed to . Mr . John Lyons , for about £ 5 , 000 , has also met his creditors , and his statement being considered satisfactory , a composition of 13 s . 4 d . in the pound has been agreed to at three , six , and nine months . Messrs . Evans , Cennedy , and , Co ., about £ 3 , 000 , dividend expected small ; Messrs . Francis Johnson and Co ., about £ 4 , 000 , dividend expected small ; Mr . J . Edmed , £ 3 , 800 , a dividend of 2 S . 6 d . agreed to ; Mr . George Mark , about £ 8 , 000 and Mr . William Pattison , about £ 10 , 000 , have both been made bankrupts , and the dividend in both cases will be a fractional one . " More Ribbonism . —Another Attempt to Murder . —A few nights ago an attempt was made to murder an inoffensive man named Little , within a short diatance of the town of Newry . A Rang often or twelve conspirators fired at him without effect , They then rushed upon him , inflicted a wound on his forehead with a dagger or knife , and were proceeding ! to oomplete their utrooious design , when a gentleman made his appearance on the road , and the villains decamped .

He arrived in Dublin on Tuesday by train from Dundalk . ^ Abouctiok prom Kilkenny . —On Monday evening , at eight o ' clock , the house of a widow named Butler , residing at Drakeland , near Kilkenny , was visited by three men , armed , with their faces blackened , who forcibly seized on one of the widow ' s three daughters , Ellen Butler , and carried her away in despite of all the opposition of her family . It appeared that the Butlers were a " comfortable ' family , and it was believed in the neighbourhood that each of the girls would have a fortune of £ 100 . Patrick Egan , a small farmer , residing at Castleblundea , was a rejected suitor of Ellen ' s , and suspicion naturally fell upon him as
principal in the outrage .

The three men then went away , and told the tenant in whose possession the field 18 of what had taken place . Information was immediately given to the police at the SkyehilUstation , and five men , found crossing the country , were soon after arrested on suspicion by Constable M'Cue , of that station , and his party , and brought into Dundalk Gael ; they were , however , liberated oh Tuesday after an examination by the local magistracy .

The neighbourhood of Marylebone has again h < . « soene of a most brutal murder of a wife by her S ^ soarcely less revolting in its character than that renc ^ committed by Thomas Bare . In this instance thn , * posed murderer is named William Stiles , a horsekeeno " ?' the Borvice of Mr . William Blore , an omnibus proS ' * belonging to the Paddington Conveyance Association Ot > who resided with his wife at No . 16 , Victoria-mews « : V " bury-street , Edgoware-road , adjacent to the stables nf v * employer . The first intimation that was received n /«! horrible event was from Stiles himself , who , about k o ' clock on Sunday morning , accosted police const u Hainson , who was on duty in Salisbury-street , tellinp w that he was a housekeeper , and that ho had just come hn and found his wife had been violently treated , and th « i . feared that she was dead . Upon this intelli gence the nnr e constable at once said he would go with him to wh o ™!? !!!?! ¦ ? J ! . toward ? . the P ' . . they met mC unester ,
sergeant , ana they all went to the house toi ^ tC Stiles appearing all the time in a state of great exoitenS On gaining admission to the plaoe , they proceeded to « T room over the stable which the man pointed out buu 5 no sooner entered it than a most horrible sight ' was nl sented . The floor was in several places marked with hCT as was also a pail that stood in tbe centre of the raZ ' which was marked and smeared in several places on t ?' bed lay his wife undressed , with blood disoharcinp Wu from her mouth and ears , from which the linen and W dress were saturated in suoh a manner as evidently BrovP 5 that some violent and deadly injuries had been infliclprf They saw no signs of life , but deemed it necessary at on / to send for medioal assistance , and in the course of a vef short period , Dr . Pavey , of Lion-terrace , Maida-hM attended , who examined the woman but declared that shi
, nfAB l \ A * TStnsl nit mniiixni a 1 **! I «* . *] V * . '_ l-. _ — * t . . Out } was beyond all medical skill , and he also gave it as his nni nion that she had been dead for some time . Stiles annealing much excited during ; this time , the sergeant had an od portunity of watching him very narrowly , when he observed marks of blood on his jacket , trowsers , and shirt , from which strong suspicion was excited in his mind that he wa « t the murderer , and he accordingly took him into cuBtody and conveyed him to the station-house in John-street Edgeware-road , where he denied all knowled ge how his wife had come to her death . He gave the name of William Stiles , and said his age was fifty , and that his wife was named Emma , and was aged forty-nine . The chargo having been duly entered , he was requested to strip off his clothes which he did , and others were given to him . His own
clothes being now found to be extensively marked wife blood , they were tied up together , and were produced before the magi strate . The only articles found upon hin » were 2 s . 6 d . in silver , 2 § d . in copper , and a knife . It appeared that Stiles and his wife called at the Carpenters' Arms , Carlisle-street , at about nine o ' clock , when they had a pinS of porter together , and appeared to be on very good terms ; and it has also been ascertained that he was close to his house , and took the horses from the omnibus shortly before twelve o ' clock , putting them into the s able close to his own house ; so that there is here a complete contradiction to his statement that he only reached home just before three o ' olock in the morning .
Un a later examination of the body of the deoeased woman , it appeared to be one mass of wounds and bruises from head to foot , and especially the legs—the blows appearing as the result of repeated kicks from a heavilynailed boot , such as worn by Stiles himself . A hayloft adjoins the room in which Stjles and his wife lived ; and , from the appearance the place presented , it was suppoBedi that the first part of the murderous attack was commenced there , the whole place appearing as if there had recently been a stvuggle , as a pail of water was upset , and the woman ' s bonnet was found lying amongst the hay . The poor woman was seen by a neighbour , shortly after nine o ' clock , to return to her house with her marketing for Sunday , but no ewes or noise whatever were heard
afterwards . The prisoner waa brought vp at the Mavylebtrae Policecourt for examination on Monday , when the above accoun waB given in evidence . It appeared that the deceased wa B aquiet , 8 ober woman , and that she has frequently complained of her husband ' s brutal conduct . One witness deposed that at nine o ' clock on Saturday night he was with the prisoner and his wife at the Carpenters' Arms , corner of Princes-street , Portman-market , and all that they had to drink was a pint of porter . Prisoner and deceased left , and to all appearance were good friends . The prisoner , however , denied being at the Carpenters' Arms , and adhered to his former statement . He was remanded for further examination on Monday next .
On Wednesday Mr . Wakley , M . P ., opened an inquest upon the body of Emma Styles . Mr . Pavey , surgeon , who had dissected the body , said that it was one mass of wounds ,, contusions , and bruises . There was a cut along the right hand , as if by a triangular instrument . The ear appeared to have been torn down with violence . On the spine there was a large wound , as if inflicted by a kick . Upon opening the body he found all the ribs broken into fragments of two and three pieces each , and he also found the liver and spleen ruptured , which caused a flow of blood into tbo cavity of the stomach , in which was some undigested food .
Death was caused by suffocation produced by a compression of the windpipe , and by the fraoture of the ribs , together with the shock which the whole system sustained . In his opinion the poor creature was dragged to the floor , and then jumped upon by her murderer until he broke her ribs , and then he completed his murderous object by stangulation . He had examined prisoner ' s dress , which was stained with blood , but without subjecting the blood to a proper test could not say whether it was human or horse ' s blood . The coroner adjourned the inquest for a fortnight that the blood on the prisoner ' s clothes and the contents of deceased ' s stomach might bo analysed ,

EUROPEAN FREEDOM AND OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES . A public meeting waa held on Monday evening at the Literary Institution , John-street , Tottenham-court-road , on the above subjects . The meeting was called by the Fraternal Democratic Society . Mr . D . W . Ruffy was called to tho chair , and in an energetic address supported fthe views propounded by the society . ' Mr . Pettie moved the following resolution : — _ That thls meeting , sympathising with the cruelly oppressed na tions of continental Europe , foels called on to repudiate the poliej and conduct of the British government , in relation to the European despots , and appeals to the British people to make common cause with their continental brethreu in the coming struggle for the eeta blishment of democratic institutions .
Mr . G . J . Harney seconded the resolution . The liberty and welfare of England waa inseparably connected with that of other oountries , and the great leaders of the democratic cause in Europe were objects of special interest to them . He had from hasty conclusions come to the opinion on Kossuth ' s first arrival in this country that he was only apartizanof the Cobden school ; but the longer he resided among them the more he knew them as a people , and the more democratic hisideaB became . At any rate , no man could deny that he was the chosen champion of Hungarian liberty . His recent speeches in America had shown that his ideas had become more enlarged , and that his exertions would henceforth be cosmopolitan , and not national . Englishmen should bo the last to complain or become the censors of the great Hungarian leader . Hud «
gary had endured the brunt of freedom ' B battle . England had been completely quiescent . Instead of affording them active support , she had been content with mei-o lip sympathy . If they could not give them physical aid they could at least have assisted them with a great moral movement , which would have been backed by the united moral feelings of the people of all Europe . Lord Palmerston , with mock sympath y on his lips , had quietly abandoned them to their fate . The British Bation had followed in tho wake of the notorious Castlereagh , who represented tho mad king of the day . The people of this land were not bound by his mad treaties ; and when the people of France , Poland , Austria , and Venice , protested against the treaty of 1815 , the voico of Britain , and not the voice of Lord Palmmton , should have been listened to . He did not
blame the people of those nations for the infractions of the treaty of 1815 , but the despotic rulers who governed them . The people of this country havving partial freedom of expression were equally to blame ^ yith their government . If they had spoken out on the subject , without doubt their sentiments would have been responded to by at least the Democratic portion of the press . Mr . Harney concluded by imploring the people of England to wash their hands from the policy of their government , and to give their sympathy—their whole heart and soul—to men who , like Mazziui , Kossuth , and others , struggled for the solidarity of tho peoples of Europe . The resolution was then put , and oarried unanimously . Mr . J . Bezer moved the following resolution : —
™ M-n n r ^ ° f w , ktfnfoa militia levy , under the pretest of providing for the better defence ef tbe country , this meetine appeals to the unrepresentedcUusses toprotect , and by uineKai means , ES ??? " ?* ' defcncB of inWitmions"S ^ ouot m , Sw P 0 UtlCal e - xl 8 tcnce of the 8 reat ^ y " » O » People . And £ t wJS & exPre 6 sei » 8 conviction that the system of defence best TS ^ r t w ? lfai ; and safet y Bri *>* i ia for the Legislature to enact a real reform bill , establishing universal and general representation , and for the government to % eSounce comphcity with the despots and substitute alliance with our friende and Di'otucra—the people . The speaker showed that the government were drilling the policemen , the Coast Guard , &o . They were also increasing the army . The aristocrats know bow to hunt and shoot . The Democrats were not allowed to do either , lest they should learn the use of am » . Those who received benefits from the institutions were those who had a right to defend them-not those who were treated by them as aliens .
Mr . Wood seconded the resolution , and insisted that th <> brst duty of the people was to defend -themselves from domestic tyrants , and when they had done that they would have but title to fear from foreign invaders . He believed tho intention of the government was to coerce the people »» g n n - more than t 0 ° PP ° 8 e the despot of France . Mr . OBnen-who arrived as the meeting was closingbriefly addressed the audience , and ridiculed the idea of the British nation sheltering and protecting the liberty of all nations , when they had not an iota of liberty to bestow on themselves or their own brethren . The people would be utterly dead to their own interests , if they did not speak out on the present Reform Bill now before tho House . The resolution was then carried . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting adjourned .
