Loudon, Deo. 13. To-day, at ttao hour of four o'clock la the afternoon, three men, accom panied by a woman, were observed by persons passing at the moment to roll a barrel against the wall of the Clerken well Green prison, where Colonel Burke, who was arrested a short time since charged with an active complicity in the Fenian riots in Manchester and other Feaian prisoners are confined; some under remand from a magisterial examination in the Polloe Court, and others awaiting transmission to dif ferent towns for trial. The barrel was placed at the wall bounding the side of tbe prison yard in Which persons confined In Clerkenwell are per mitted to take-exercise at the hour of 4 o'clock P. M. Boon afterlt was flxed,In what may be called its position, an awful explosion, fallowed by most disastrous consequences, took place. Tbe prison wall was blown down to a great extent, a gap almost one hundred feet wide having been made in its ruins. The dwelling houses situated on tbe line of street opposite to tbe prison were shattered, many of them being almost completely levelled to the earth. Two men, with a woman, who, it is supposed, are the parties who fixed the barrel, were imme diately arrested, but tbe third man, who was seen to light the fuse which was applied to It, made his escape. None of the prisoners confined . in the jail got out, as tbe term of their time of outdoor ex ercise had terminated, and they bad been marched from the yard and locked up in their cells Just before the explosion took place. The street opposite, which runs parallel to the prison, at the spot Is narrow and built with houses three stories high. They are for the most part rented out in apartments of one or two rooms each. Tbe inhabitants of the ex tensive suburban parish district of Clerkenwell are very poor. Twenty bouses were almost utterly demolished and rendered untenantable by tbe crash. The city firemen were immediately summoned to tbe 6 pot, and are now employed in digging in and under the ruins for dead bodies. Forty persons men, women, and children have been found to be wounded. Four of them have already died. A house which stood in the street Just directly opposite to where the breach bas been blown in the prison wall, has been suspected for some time as a Fenian head quarters or place of rendezvous for Fenians. Tbe police authorities had ordered that a strlot search should be made on tbe premises to morrow. The remainder of the injured persons bave been removed to the nearest hospitals. Tbe scene presented in the neighborhood during live aaraenmg evening anu sinoe night fall is exceedingly romantic and ploturesque. thousands of people being gathered in the vicinity, each one discussing the event, its origin and consequences, with his or her neigh bor, xue ruina ui iu u weuings anu tne prison wall are euarded by a stronit force of rjoiinn. The street highway has been ripped up to a considerable distance by the explosion, and the walls of tbe Jail bave fallen, to some extent, into the breach, revealing the Interior of the prison ard. No damage has been done to the prlhon buildings. The whole city of London is terribly excited by the fact of this sudden and daring attempt. Everybody ieels alarmed, forlheseriousreasou that no one can foretell where the next blow of this description may lull. Tbe Government is becoming exceedingly active. All the Fenian funeral processions projected in Ireland in memory of the Manchester convicts have been strictly prohibited. and measures of a still more stringent character are looked for on the part Ol IU executive. It Is leared. or at least deemed very probable. that some trouble will ensue from the Fenian movement in Liverpool. The polloe force la Liverpool, perhaps even in London, is utterly inadequate to deal with such a crisis. Colonel Burke, who Is confined in the Clerk enwell prUon (not the man lately sentenced to death in Ireland, and transferred to England after commutation of his sentence), is more than suspected of being a very active Feuian officer or agent. He is at present charged with having taken a prominent part uotn in orga nizing and direct ing tbe Manchester riot move ment, during which Policemen Brett was shot. Indeed, It is alleged that Burke had charge of the arms and served them out to Allen, Larkln, Gould, and the others Just before the tumult commenced. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. Accident os the IlUhmoad Railroad VII JCngtnecr Killed and Vlrtmsa Fatally Scalded Miraculous Bscape of Passengers. Tbe 4-30 P. M. accommodation and freight train which lull Itlunmond yesterday for ibis city, drawn by the looomotive lieurtco, Hichard Morris, engineer, and consisting- of one passen ger coach and several lrelgut cars and dais, was detained several hours at the half way station, eleven miles from either city, by one of the most terrible and astounding accidents which has ever, occurred upon the road. The train reached the station at quarter-past 6, and it is thought that the engineer, wishing to economizesteam whliewaltlng.MoreWed down bis safety valve.as is frequently uone.buton tats occasion, it would appear, injudiciously. There were about thirty-five passengers on board, the freight oais being in Hie tear. At the signal for starting, tbe engineer opened the throttle valve, it is tbougnt, too suddenly for tne pres sure of steam, when lusiaully au explosion was beard like the sound of a bursting bomb, and Immediately thereafter a shower of water and light debris was heard pattering and tattling on thereof of the coach, TheglaKS panes In the Iront door of the coach were shivered, and the lamp in the rear of the coach was ex tinguished, that in front being only shaken and for a secoud dimmed. A conouBSlon was felt, and it seemed, which was actually the case, that the eugiue had Jerked loose trout tbe train, drawing with It the coupling to tha coach. At the moment, there was a shock felt by tbe passengers forward and a rush was made for the rear of the coach, but no panic was Indicated. No person la fact realized, until the danger was over, that tbe boiler ot the looomotive bad exploded. The coach was then immediately emptied, and ttie anxious passengeis went forward to view the cause of tbe explosion and to behold the loco niollve torn to pieces, and the euglgeer and fireman lying back noon the wood of tue ten der surk and mutilated. A nearer examina tion discovered the engineer dead, with tbe entire top or bis head blown off, bis body and face dreadfully scalded, and bis clothing satu rated with boiling water. . , Tbe fireman, a colored man named James Mason, was terribly scalded from bead to foot, senseless, but upon being moved utterel a Lioau. lie was biud from the tender, and first kid out la Ut fttongsld, Ukf Lis, aud. then taken to the store at the station, where surgical assistance was e'ummoned; but be was considered beyond recoyery. The engineer was laid on the around 'uar tbe track, to await tbe mail train for Richmond. It was observed Im mediately aftor tbe accident that bis watch, which be kept in his vest pocket, bad been mown out, and, it being dark, oouid not do found.

J'etertbvrg Va.) Express. XUh. CHARLES 'DICKENS. The Story of Little Dombey and the Trial from Pickwick. Last night Stelnway Hall was thronged with eaiier llKteners to the best story teller alive. Mr. Dickens bad reserved for the last readiug of bis pi t sent course tbe pathello story of ''Little lJombey." which he relieved by a repetition of the mlrib provoking "i rial from Pickwick." How well this trial bears repetition! Mr. Pickwick stood up, when escorted into court. In as interesting "a state of agitation," and, when the finding of the Jury was declared, drew on his gloves with as great a nicety, and stared as intensely at the loreman, as on his first ap pearance. The same "pleasing and extensive variety of nose and whiskers for which tbe bar of England is Justly celebrated" was rendered as visible as ever to the mind's eye. Tbe short, fat and stupid Judge was heard as well as seen again. Bergeant Buzluz was as overwhelmingly eloquent, Mr. Winkle as nervous, and Susannah Handera as garrulous as ever. Bamlvel Weller was greeted with as great enthusiasm, and bis father's wheezy voloe was applauded as heartily as on the first even ing of the course. But although Mr. Dickens can complain of no lack of appreciation on the part of bis audience when be "tries to be as funny as he can," and bis witticisms as well as his own quiet enjoyment of their telling ellect, elicit morn demonstrative sympa thy than bis admirable scne painting and his exquisite pathos, which at times deepens into tragle power, yet his genius for description, and. above all, for inspiring tbe heart with the tenderest and most solemu emotions. Is fully recognized. Tbe death scene with wbloh "the story of Little Dombey" opens, and the death scene with which it closes, are both tragle to the highest degree. The ease with which the transitions are made by Mr. Dlekens from the most painful to tbe most amusing scenes Is likewise remarkably illustrative of tbe sway which genius alone wields over the whole gamut of human emotions. As a reader, Mr. Llckens has been praised for his natural man ner, but in order to have merited this praise he must bave acquired the cousu mmate art of con cealing art. In tone, emphasis, and almost all tte other qualities of an accomplished elocu tionist, his reading is a study for the actor and the preacher. His utterance of the two words that stand out so prominently in the story of Little Dombey, "death" and "immortality," bas never been surpnssed, either on the stage or in tbe ptilplt. Tbe gesticulation of Mr. yickens is surprisingly good, especially when we remember how averse Englishmen usually are to anything approximating expanslveness of continental pantomime. We need only Instance the Jingling of tbe watcb-cbaln by Mr. Dombey, and the waving of Lit tle Domboy's feeble band In the air when bidding "good bye" to ail who weep around bis dying bed, to Bbow how fitly Mr. Dickens "suits tbe action to tbe word." Throughout the read Inn of ib Is story Mr. Dickens displays til mar vellous faculty forelfaoltig himself in whatever character be is personating, whether it be the pompous Mr, Dombey, tbe equally pompous Dr. Bllmber, Mrs.' Chick, Mrs. Plpham, Miss Ulimber, Mr. Feeder, B. A. Brlsgs, or the laugh ing Tozer, the incomparable Toots, Little Dom bey himself, bis beloved sister Floy, the kind faced old Nnrse, or any other creation with which he bas peopled our memory, V. Y.

"There was not," he said, "room enough lor us all in the city. I dealt in English goods. One great trader came there who bad tbe market to hiuselt; he was quite the great man, and did us a favor if he sold us goods. Somehow I of fended him, and he refused to show us his pat terns.

As soon as I got to Manchester I laid out all my money, things were so cheap, and made good pro at. I soon found that there were three pi outs on the raw material, the dyeing, and tbe manufacturing. I said to the manuiactnrer. "I will supply you with material and dye, and you supply me with manufactured goods.' 6o I got thiee prohts instead ot one, ana I could sell goods cheaper thau anybody.

Another maxim on which be seemed to place great reli ance was never to have anything to do with an unlucky place or an unlucky man. "I bave seen," c aid be, "many clever men, very clever men, wbo bad not shoes to their feet ! I never act with them. Tlieir advice sounds very well, but late is against them; they cannot get on themselves; and if tbey cannot do geod to themselves, now can tney do good to raer" Bv aid ot these maiiuia he bat acquired three mil liotsof motey.

The Twelfth Anniversary of the Albion Boclaty at Angustln's, Last Rvanlng-.l It baa been, for years, the custom of our adopted citizens who are natives of the dif ferent sections of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to maintain among themselves permanent organisations for the promotion of social feeling, the remembrance of tbe days of their youth, and tbe assistance of their distressed countrymen. Once a year these associations are in the habit of coming together for social converse, adopting the surest means for promoting tbe best of good fellowship a banquet and a round of toasts.

Eq.. the President of the society, look the Chair, Titos. Klrtiey, Ksq., aotlng as Vice-PresideuL Tue banquet was preceded by an impressive invo cation of Divine favor by the Rev. Dr. Suddards. The table was elegantly and elaborately ar ranged, tbe effect being much heightened by tbe decorations of the room, on tue walls of which were displayed the flngs of the United Ktates and Great Britain, lu harmonious em- Drace. When the cloth was removed, the first toast, "The Queen of England," was responded to by the entire company, who rose to their feet and Joined in singing "God save tne Queen." "i ne president or tne uoueu states" was re sponded to in similar manner, by the singing of our national anthem of "The 8tar-tinaneled Banner." Tbe remaining toasts were as follows, in order: "The Donors and Benefactors of the Albion Society. We honor and hold them in grateful remembrance." "England, tbe land of our birth." Responded to by singing "The Fine Old English Gentle man.'' "The United States of America tbe land of onr adoption." Responded to by M. J.

In the absence ol Mr. Kortrlgbt, tbe Bri tish Consul, George Crump, Esq., Acting Con sul, responded, quaintly delineating the char acteristics of the representatives of different nationalities in our country. "Tbe Army and Navy." General Patterson not being present, as was anticipated. Colonel A. Louden Haowden responded. After express ing bis appreciation of tbe high compliment which bad accompanied his (-election to re spond to this toast, in the absence of such a veteran soldier as General Patterson, the speaker dwell at length upon the fore most position taken by the two na tions, America and Great Britain, in the ownward career of civilization. He paid a high tribute to tbe dauntless courage of the two great armies ao lately faolug euob other la our civil strife, and tuouuht that every soldier in their ranks bad shown himself a worthy descendant of those wbo fongbt in 1776. Tbe address throughout was earnest and eloquent, and we regret tbat tbe pressure upon our columns forbids a lengthier abstract. "Our Bister Societies." Responded to by James Allen, Esq., and Horatio Gates Jones, Esq. "The Clergy, the Bar, and the Press." Re sponded to by tbe Rev. Dr. Suddards, wbo ex pressed bis enjoy ment of the occasion, and the kindly feelings to wbloh It gave rise. He con tended tbat acts of benevolence in this world were a fitting prelude and preparation to a higher and better existence, snd concluded by reciting Longfellow's patbetlo lines entitled "Resignation," which begin as follows: There Is no flock, however watched and tended, ' But oue dead lamb la thsre!

These severe afflictions Not Irom ibe ground arise. But o fie utl met celestial beuedlcllous Assume this dark disguise. "Our Deceased Brethren .'Though lost to sight, to memory dear."' - The final toast of the evening, "Tbe Ladles," was responded to by William Massey, Esq., wbo was well qualified for this delloale duly by bis well-known gallantry-toward every member of tbe sex. But even then tbe amenities of the evening were not over, for a proposition or "The health of President Falrthorne" elicited three hearty cheers, and brought the gentleman In qnestlou to bis feet. He expressed bis bigh appreciation of the favor shown IJAm by bis fellow-members, wbo bad re-elected uin to the Presidency of the Society year alter year, when there were ao many others more deserving of the place. The evening's entertainment was then brought to a close by tbesloglng of "Auld Lame Syne." Indeed, the musio of i he occasion was not its least Interesting feature; and Messrs.

On Monday night, between 7 and 8 o'clook, a most brutal and outrageous murder was perpe trated ouUugarUlll in Newtown, by Edward Moore, who killed but wife, Joanna. It appears tbat Moore was a laborer in the navy sard, and on Monday afternoon did not return to work, but stayed at home. About 6 o'clock tbe attention of Mrs. McCarthy, wbo resides In the rear of Moore's house, on the same lot, beard. a noise as if a tcullle was tak ini place between Moore and bis wife. Mrs. McCarthy went over to the house, and found Mrs. Moore lying on the floor, badly beaten and bleeding coplouxly from tbe head.

At these threats Mrs. McCarthy left tbe room, and went to ber own premlaes in the yard. bhortly after, Mrs. McCarthy's husband re turned fiom the navy yard, and started logo Into Moore's bouse, when he wus met at the door bv Moore, with a knife in bis hand, wbo tbieatened to klil him if he entered tbe bouse. After this occurrence it is supposed that the tlend returned to his prostrate wife, whom he stamped and kicked to death. In her effort to eccape she struggled into tbe passage, where ber mangled body was subsequently found. Mr. McCarthy beoomlngalarmed, went for the ollce, and shortly returned with Ortloers ynob, lteed, and MoCoy, or tbe ntghtwaton. Tbey effected an entrance into the house, and Ibe first object which attracted tbeir attention was tbe corttse of Mrs. Moore lying npon the floor, with her bead towards tbe back door, and mangled and mutilated almost beyond recognition. Her face was kicked and bruited horribly, the back or ber bead cruhbed In, and the bones in ber breast broken, showing evidently that the btntal mouster, in bis blind rage and fury, had kicked and stamped her until lire was exilnot. Tbe officers proceeded to tbe front room, which E resented a ghastly and slukenlug sight, tbe oor being literally covered with blood, and re sembling a slaughter house. Upon the bed lav tbe murderer.

Yesterday, at 11 o'clock A. M., Coroner Mat thews summoned a jury, who repaired to tbe premises where the murder was perpetrated, and viewed the body of tbe victim. The body was a roai gled tnasH, and lnthefaos particu larly, tbe beelsof the boot and the nails therein, bad torn ibe flesh In a dreadful manner, while from the crown of ber head to tbe sole of ber foutt.be waa perfectly blue from tbe kicks she bad received.
