It must be highly gratifying to the subscribers to the Bude Harbour and Canal, to learn that the works have been recently inspected by their noble chairman, Earl Stanhope, and that he has expressed himself much satisfied with the great progress which has been made in them, and with the manner in which they have been executed.

DEVONSHIRE.

The receiving house of the royal powder works at Kinterbury, about two miles up the Hamoaze, lately blew up with a dreadful explosion, by which an old man, named Carne, and a boy, called Matthewson, who were the only persons on the works, unfortunately perished. It appeared that a quantity of 3-pounder cartridges had lately been received, which the men in the establishment were employed in opening, and putting the powder and shot into separate barrels happily seven persons were that day sent to measure timber, about the distance of half a mile, so that only two remained on the premises. It is conjectured that in throwing the iron shot together, some sparks were elicited, and communicating with the loose powder which might accidentally have got into the barrel, caused the fatal occurrence. About forty barrels were in the house, headed up, which blowing up at the same time, spread great destruction, and violently shook the houses for several miles round. Nearly all the windows in Kinterbury House are injured; at Saltash, St Stephens, and even in Plymouth Dock, many panes of glass were broken by the shock; and some of the shot were picked up near St. Budeaux.

A short time ago, the horn of a fish was found sticking in the side of a vessel lately arrived at Liverpool from the West Indies, and now repairing in one of the graving docks. The astonishing impetus with which the fish must have struck the ship may he estimated from the fact, that the horn had actually pierced through

the planks and timbers of the ship, to the depth of nine inches!
