Edict, stationed at the Arsenal, was in the Colonel's office, draw ing, at the time of the first explosion. It sounded like the firing of a cannon—three rapid reports. He ran towards the la boratory. On reaching the lower store house found great confusion there; the door was blOcked up by the girls, and per sons endeavoring to get them out. At this time the second explosion at the la-1 beratory occurred, and thinking many of the girls in the store-house would be in danger of being injured by attempting to crowd outkeep , stat hoenem lti te men he could find to in a u n til the arrival of ladders, when they were all taken out, Meantime the third explosion hail occur red, and the witness aided in pulling the fire engine up the hill to the pond, and fbrmed a line of buckets to the fire. After working here some time, a barrel of pow der was pointed out to the witness, cover ed up with rubbish, near the garden fence, where it had evidently rolled. It was nearly opposite No. 12, and about one yard from the fire. He assisted in taking the barrel out, and had it rolled into the pond. The barrel was uninjured. This witness had been in charge of the laboratory until about a month since; he never saw any powder on the porch or roadway, or he would have called atten tion to it. Lieut. Myers is now in charge. Here the jury adjourned for dinner, and reassembled at two o'clock, when the fol lowing additional testimony was elicited : Lieut. Jasper Myers was sitiing in the Arsenal a little before two °clock; heard an explosion : went up to the store house and. assisted in extricating the girls, who were endeavoring to get out. He then started for the upper building; met two or three men, who went with him back to the building; found the laboratory on tire and some half a dozen bodies lying around, one or two not quite dead. He then went around the building to the magazine. On examination thought it could be saved and sent for men to assist. Mr. Mcßride and s veral others came. There was a small building, filled with ammunition boxes,' between the laboratory and magazine, which they kept wet and threw the boxes into the pond. They also kept the fire from spreading along the fence and con fined it to the rear of the laboratory. Witness had general superintendence of the laboratory and shops. His duties were to visit them frequently, see that everything was right and also to attend to the shipment of ammunition. Mr. Thorpe has direct supervision of the receiving of powder at the laboratory. No one had special charge of the removal of empty cylinder boxes. He had not observed any powder on the roadway or porch; had seen loose powder on the benches where cartridges were charged, some weeks since, and bad a reform made in that particular by ordering more secure boxes for the cylinders. The stone road was laid before he went to the Arsenal, about two months since. He would consider it unsafe to sweep powder out upon the road. Rachel Dunlap—At time of explosion was standing in the door of room No. 12: saw shadow of a wagon; looked out and saw a blaze under the front wheel of the wagon near the home's foot; threw up my arm and screamed; turned to go to my sister at a table near by, when I heard the explosion, and something struck me and knocked me down, with aid of my sister, got up, and we both ran to the door and got out. There were several barrels of powder na the porch near this wagon don't know whether he had taken out all his load. The blaze which 1 saw at first was very near the barrels on the porch; and in a moment raised as high us the bed of the wagon; saw grains of powder swept out of the room at various times. Alexander M'ltride—sworn—H ave had charge of all works connected with the laboratory since 1$ It t. In connection with the laboratory all orders came through me, and from me to the different depart. merits connected with the manufacture of ammunition. Aty usual practice in the morning and after dinner is to visit the various departments to see if all hands are at work and to issue any order then ne cessary. On this day, after making these visits, I went to the laboratory, having re ceived an order for proof charges for a fifteen inch gun to be proved the next day. Passed to my own room, No. 8, where the books were kept, to place it on the book, After this was done, heard a noise appa rently on the porch, and rose to ascertain the cense: heard a scream a half minute afterwards; looking in the 'direction of the sound, noticed the wall falling in towards Inc into the room; suspected the cause of the explosion, which was the first thing which always struck me whenever any un usual noise aboutthe laboratory. trot on to the window of the end of the room; fell out, and having got out of the dust or flame, returned along the side of the lab oratory to room No. 6, to seek my daugh ter; got on the porch and met Jos. E. Boll man with n girl on his arm coming out.— At same time saw ceiling of room No. C; falling on the floor where the children were. The flames and dust forced me back. M. Bolin:ran let down the child he had upon tha porch, and got her out, got off the porch, and near the fence saw a girl bewildered, with her clothes burnt off. Returned on to the porch, entered room 12 for a bucket, which was always there, but found no water in it. Saw Mr. Gean in room No. 14; tried to get the windows and doors of 13 and 14 closed; succeeded partly; went down to the pond with the bucket to get water, hardly knowing for what I wanted it; got the water and returned through the fence. Met another girl in the same condition as the other, and threw the bucket of water upon her. Passed around a shanty near the pond where we kept empty boxes, and found Annie Shook and Anna Shibley, with their clothes burned, trying to crawl through the fence from the inside to the outside; told them to wait till I got the fence down; took down some palings, and they crawled through; told them to go to the stable and I would try to get clothes to Cover them. One of them said, "how can we go, and us naked." Went and begged some wo men to get some clothing and take to them! at the stable, where I supposed they had gone. Saw no effort to get them clothing, and turned back myself. When I reached the stable, Lieutenant Myers called to me j to have the fire buckets brought to pro tect the magazine. Knew there was little I danger of the magazine on account of the direction of the wind, but returned accord ing to ittstructions, and succeeded ' in getting some of the viten to work with the buckets at the pond.— Returned to the magazine and closed a little copper shutter in it from the outside; went to one of the other magazines and saw that that was secured, and then re- ! I I turned to the burning buildings. Re-1 ceived the order for the proof charges froml 15 to 20! minutes past 1, from Knap's & I Rudd's foundry, delivered by an orderly.! When I saw Mr. Geary most of the in mates were out of 12, 13 and 14. When I closed the window of 14 there was no ! one in that room. Don't remember to have seen the powder Frick delivered or to have seen him do it. The three maga zines are located about one hundred yards; another, two to three hundred yards, and a third six hundred yards from the labora tory. To police the rooms of the labora tory Robert Smith and Robert Dunlap were employed. They swept ont the rooms. Strict injunctions were given to them and all others to be careful, to leave no powder scattered upon the floors or on the porch, and to use every precaution to have all loose powder put in boxes which were kept un the porch and regularly ramoved. Cl ean powder was thus always gathered up. The finedust of dirtypowder wee swept off the porch to the pathway: Have reported to the o ff ice that powder was shippotkto us from Messrs.

The Arsenal Catastrophe CORONER'S INVESTIGATION The jury empanneled by the Coroner to itive , tigete the cause of the late disaster at -t t Arsenal assembled in Robinson's Hall, La.ereetteville, on Friday morning at ten o'clock, and proceeded to call and ex undue witnesses. The following is the testimony adduced : John A. Geary, foreman of room No. • 14, residing in Lawrenceville, testified that when the explosion occurred he was; standing is the door of No. 11, or on the perch in front. It occurred something atier two o'clock. 'There were two build ings etenneeted wail the laboratory on the hill. The rosin building, in the shape of a T, was separated from a small building in which were rooms 13 and 14; in the rear was the engine. LMr. Geary verified a diagram produced by Mr. Mcßride.] There were employed in No. 14, twenty fitur girls, one halt' "pinchers," the rest l •bundlete." Eleven piuchers had been called out to he paid; some of the others were in the building, some on the porch. He had charge of the rooms generally, and the packing of the ammunition. Paymas ter Bosworth was in the_wardrobe room, (between the twain and small building,) paying e off, and the girls were standing out eide, when witness heard the first ex plosion, which he was informed was at No. 1, main building. The space between the main and detached building is about fifty feet, and the wardrobe room is about mid way between the two. There were three dietiuet explosions, a few minutes .. . Apart. The second explosien seemed to take place in Nos. P and 11. extending to Nos. 1, 3 and 4. The third was in 13 and 14. Be t weeu the first and second explosions there n-as an interval of a few moments, end before the latter all the girls had es caped from No. 14. Another short inter val (recurred before the third explosion. 'The powder used in the laberatory was brought from the magazine, (a distance of 300 or 4011 yards) in barrels of 100 poueds, on wagons, by three drivers, named Frick, Irwin and Sweeney. Six to ten barrels were sometimes brought and- delivered, one barrel at. a titne, when needed. The Superintendeut of each room, and some times the boys, received the powder. itootn No 1 was in charge of John Rye r, who was iejured beethe explosion. There were printed rules for the several departments, furnished by the command. ant of the post, which were burned up. Powder was frequently spilled on the floor in taking it out of the barrel ; in policing the rooms the powder, if cleata was gath ered,up and returned to the barrels; if dir ty, it was thrown into the road. Joseph it. Prick, wagoner, employed in le ultng cylinders, powder, ammunition, &c., from place to place iii the arsenal grounds ; isf titled that, he used a two horse wagon, open bed. - Before the explosion he had been seta to the nutgezine for ten barrels of powder, which he brought down —unloaded titfee barrels musket powder at No 1; four of mortar powder at end of porch at No 12, and one barrel musket Lowder at the saute place; at No 13 one barrel musket poWder; at No. 14 another barrel of musket powder. He was then in the act of loathing some cylinder boxes at No 14, to like down to the storehouses when a young man named Robert Smith, from No 1, came around the corner and told hint to conteand haul away his boxes, es he had promised. When he came o posite No lovith his wagon, where he had p unloaded the first three barrels, Smith was jest stepping on the porch, over the barrels, and Frick saw on the ground, in the seace bei tcl-1.1/ his wagon and the porch. S. m • fuur feet, a flame of fire as from wder ;nxed wi h dirt; it made a fizzing m cw ise, it like dry powder. There is o email quantity spilled by the--chargers, in each of the cylinder boxes, which, when empty, are brought out and stacked on the porch. When the boxes are load ed on the wagoes, the powder is spilled upon the road, and small sweepings from the porch are brushed out; be noticed a good deal of powder scattered about the porch near No 1, three or four days be tore the accident, and thought there was enough to ignite. He believed that one of th e barrels he had unloaded upon the porch was unheeded when he returned; it was musket powder. It was customary, when the neouts were crowded, to open barrels on the porch and- serve the powder there. After he saw the burning of wet powder on ti, t ^ ground, almost in the same rao nu-nt, he thought he saw the powder in the unheatied barrel ignited, and was thrown, by the action of the air, out of the wagon. against the garden paling's. He lay with his head partly through the palings, and while here was sensible of the explosion of the other two barrels. He was covered up, to the depth of two feet, with ruins and rubbish. He scram bled out and through the palings, when he was again covered up with a portion of the roof of the laboratory. He made his escape and got to the garden walk. Smith WU blown to pieces—part of him was found above the magazine, four hundred yards from the building. Witness believed the powder was ignited by the front right wheel of his wagon. in the stone roadway, and communicated to the barrels on the porch. The instant he saw the Ore on the groigd, before he had time to wink, the open barrkl, on the porch exploded. The horse in the vq,,zo n was badly burned. After Frick escaped from the ruins he turned—around and saw the end of the charging room blown out by soiwathipz in it; saw a man thrown out almost milked; also a girl, towards Pike street. Then followed what seemed to be the third ex- D iosign, some three to five minutes after the second.

Some of the powder used there is very fine, and can hardly be kept front flying about. There are two sheds near the wall, above the limn!. mag azine, covered with rough boards, con tai uir.g fixed am munition ; there are some times 8,000,909 cartridges and 6,000 32. pound shells there; boys were sent to take powder out of the magazine; .boys were ordered by Col. Symington for work in the ammunition room; he didn't want men there. Major Symington, sworn—Kno w moth ing positive respecting the ause of the explosion. About 2 o'clock, c as I return ed to the office from my quarters, I heard the first explosion ; proceeded to the first gate of the upper packers; I entered; saw the explosion proceeding front the la boratory. As I entered the upper gate, a large number of women and others wore rushing out; some of these escaped from the lower store-house, situated upon But ler road near the gate: thia storehouse used for forming cylinders, and no powder is used there; some three hundred females are engaged there; the females who had been at work were endeavoring to get out of the windows over the platform of the stairway, and some at the rront windows of the second story. Many persons were endeavoring to assist them in getting down; others were leading them down the stairway out of. the large end door, but apparently few came out of the door. On inquiry, I- found that they had so crowded that they were piled one upon another upon the platform of the stairway. Whilst I was there the second explosion occurred! I endeavored to pacify the women, and urged others to do so; and told than to get others down by ladders at the second story windows; then proceed ed towards the laboiatory. On the way, the third explosion occurred. Whilst going up, the arsenal engine was in the way, and I called persons to assist in dragging it to the pond. During this time the sheds were bursting very frequently, some in the air, but they generally burst below, scattering the fragments above. The engine was soon placed in position: but had not force enough at the outer end of the pond, more distant from the labor atory, and the water had but little effect in patting out the -fire on it buildings. I was then sent to remove ifnearer to the laboratory, and an order' Was Sent for the hose. When the engine had got into the new position, the principal laboratory bnilding had fallen • in; and- the second laboratory building, adjoining the furnace, was in a full blaze. Soon after this, one Of the steam fire engines came kup end be gan to play upon the burning timber.— With the use of these two engines the fire was gradually slackened ; the bnildingthen baento fall in, and but few shells were then exploding.

Mrs. Gillespie, of the 7th ward, a widow with two children, who was injured by 1 Juniptng from a window in the storehouse at the Arsenal, is represented to us as being in a very destitute" condision. She had nothing to depend upon but the labor of one daughter, who is now obliged to re -1112111 at home and wait on her mother, whose ankles are broken. There are doubtless many cases equally as bad, all of which should be made known to the com mittee, who are now engaged in collecting funds for the relief of the distressed. It Mrs. Gillespie's situation was brought to thei? notice she would doubtless be reliev ed at craw Work Resumed.

Plaimer It Mika% • At a meeting of the Managers of the Western Theological Seminary, on Wed nesday, Rev. W. S. Plumer, of the Central Presbyterian Church, sent in his resigna tion as Professor in the Seminary, which was. unanimously accepted; after several addresses from members present. The letter was as follows : ALLEGHENY, Pa., Sept. 18, 184,2. To the Board of Directors of the Westere Theological Seminary: • Fathers and Brethren : • I hereby re• sign my Professorship in this institutiod. I take this sternot because I do not love my work here. On the contrary, it is tru ly pleasant to me. But my peace is de stroyed, my life is embittered, and my health is suffering from cruel calumnies, which I have borne as silently and as pa tiently as I could, and from the line of conduct pursued towards me by some of the Directors, and approved, as I fear, by others of your members. I am aware that the plan of the Seminary requires that any Professor intending to resign his office shall give six months' notice of stuh intention to the Board of Directors, but the Board can waive their right to such notice. Very respectfully yours, • Wm. S. PLUMEB. On Thursday evening, after recommend ing the continuance of Dr. P's. salary and the use of the house in which he lives until January lat, 1868, the Board passed the following: Resolved, That, in parting with Dr. Plumer, the Board do not hesitate to ex press a warm personal regard for him: their confidence in his piety, and their ap preciation and grateful sense of his labors for the benefit of the institution, and fo the'candidateslor the ministry. At a meeting of the Allegheny Presby. tery, held yesterday, the resignation of Dr. Plumer as pastor of the Central Pres byterian Church, was read. A remons trance from the congregation was also pre sented, and, after some argument, the re signation was accepted. A discussion then ensued upon the granting of a cer tificate and finally one was granted, by a considerable majority, to the presbytery of Burlington, New Jersey. The proceed ing were animated and interesting and characterized by a good deal of feeling Dr. Plumer will now, it is to be presnu.. ed. leave at an early day, a community in which he has, for some mouths, bet a made so conspicuous.
