The town and district of Newcastle-on-Tyse were sn astute of the wildest excitement on fuesday afternoon, it consequence of & terrific explosion which occured on the Town-moor.—ipspector Amos and Sub-ine- |pector Wallace, of the Newcastle police, |reeeived information that a quantity of nitro- glycerine was stored in a cellar in White Swan-yard, inthe Cloth-market, immediately They examined the plaee and found that.it was contained in nine square canisters, in baskets packed in straw, and they immediately sought the owner of it, in,order to bave it removed to a place of satety. They found him at his place of buisness, and represented the matter to him. He said he would have it sent back to the persun who consigned it to bim, and, in company with the officers, he tried the railway company, but they refused to carry it, An aplication was then made to Mr. Nacham, who bus a gunpowder store, to have it put into & magazine, but he aleo refused to take it. The ease was then represented to the magistrates, who, upon consultation, gave instructions tobave itdestroyed. The Sheriff of Newcastle (Mr. John Mawson) was a practical chemist, and the police applied to him as tothe best method of dealing with this deadly liquid ; he, after consulting with other chemists, advised that it should be buried in some of the creeps or crevices of some old pit workings in the neighbourhood ; but, while these discussions bad been going on, from some unexplained reason, the nitro-glycerine had been removed from the Swanyard to Mr. Spark's office in the Town-hall, just over the Council Chamber. Between 2 and 3 in the afternoon a cart was brought and the canisters were put into it and taken to the Town-room. The Sheriff and Mr. Bryson, the town surveyor, with Sub-Inspector Wallace and a policeman named Donald Bain, accompanied the cart to the Town-room. They found a crevice or creep near the Cholera Hospital, into which the liquid from the nine canisters was poured ; but after this was completed it was found that @ quantity of crystallized matter was adhering to the bottoms of three of the canisters. The sheriff then instructed Wallace to pat some earth over the liquid that had been poured into the crevice, and ordered the other mea to bury the three crystallized canisters in the earth at some distance off. was shovelling the earth tate the crevice he was startled by a idhaial copiers in the direction where the men gone, and, runn- ing to the scene, he found that a ead eatas- trophe had occurred.
