> The Gunpowder Calamity at Wilmington, Belaware. @UR WILMINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Wriurmeron, Del., May 29, 1854. J have just returned from the ruins caused by the Gxplesion of some four hundred and fifty kegs of powder this morning. The scene is truly awful: teeee torn from their roots; others with not a leat to be seen upon them. For half amile before you weach the place, you can discover the eftects of the explosion on either side of the street; almost every house has more or Jess of the windows and window- sashes broken completely cut, and in many instances the houses will have to be torn down and rebuilt. ‘The scene immediately in the neighborhood is be- yond description—everything looks blackened and shattered. Bishop Lee’s house is a complete wreck. T ventured into it, and found inone room, situated in the front part of the house, the floor and wglls completely covered with blood; on inquiry I found it came from a girl about twenty-two years of pare, who was sitting at the window at the time of the accident. She is very much mangled; her eyes are both out—so I was informed by the person who was first on the spot and who carried her out of her pe- rilous situation. This same person, who at the time ef the explosion was at work about six hundred off'in his cooper shop, the roof of which was Hy torn off, and more or less of the workmen ) describes the sensation at the time ag crushed to the earth and then lifted, and the noise like the rolling of a dram. A little girl, three er four years of age, who was at the time in the ard back of the Bishop’s house, escaped with Bot a@ few cuts on the head, which are not = dangerous, supposed to be from splint- ers from @ tree, which no doubt saved her Hife, for there is not a iimb on it; still the tronk of it shows very plainly what it had to withstand. Not far from this tree there is another, without any bark upon it, and a rt of tie iron tire from the wheel driven almost through it. You cannot walk a without stepping on horse flesh and blood. are strewed in eyery direction, All the trees in peptincnnce haye, more or less, pieces of flesh hanging upon them. The exact spots where the wagon wheels stood can be easily perceived, as the ground is torn up to the depth of three feet ; and the very spot where the horses stdod can be plainly seen by the arge pools of bicod. It would seem as though they had been first crushed to the earth, and then scattered to the four winds of heaven. But the r, unfortunate drivers, only portions of them have been found, in such small fragments that they could not be identified. The hand and part of an arm of a woman have been found, but to whom oe belonged is not known, but supposed to be part of the remains of a German woman, who was seen to just before, with a amall child with her. She not been seen since, though some state that a woman was seen riding in one of the wagons, and sup) tobe part of her. A stable immediately in t of the first wagon—in which, at the time of the explosion was a negro man, who was instantly killed—took fire, and his body burned to a crisp. Fortunately for Bishop Lee, he and his family were at Trinity Church, the convention being in eession. The accident is sup; d to have occurred ait akeg ¢ powder o ve an Ayton leaking band ing on the ground, thereby laying a perfect train, and the horses attached to the” last train set fing it off by striking their shoes against some stones on which the powder was scattered, and so setting them all off at once.

TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY—NAMES OF THE KILLED—VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY. {From the Philadelphia Bulletin, June 1 The frightful explosion of gunpowder in the | streets of almington, yesterday morning, is with- out Reena in the histor, im that city, comparatively frequent as such events have been'there. The great explosion of 1818, al- though attended with a yreater loss of life, was not marked by as fearful cireumstances as this recent . The scene of the accident is doubtless | familiar to very many of our readers, as it is located in the most beautifi eed of the city.

The entire amount of powder in the three wagons was certainly not less than fonr hundred kege, or five tons, This is the exact amount as given us by one of the Mesers.

The team following was about mid- — between Market and Orange streetsat the time, the hindmost wagon was just at the junction of the last named street and Fourteenth et. The wagons were equi-distant apart, being separated from each other by a space of from thirty to fifty At twenty-five minutes past 10 o’clock, from some mysterious cause, the powder became ignited, and im an instant three explosions took place; the re- followed each other in such rapid euecession it was difficult to distinguish them from one Tiree di et tinct reports.

Citizens who lived at a greater distance from the first knew of the disaster by seeing the lurid , or by the rocking of their dwellings, the crashing of their window glass or the falling of the plaster, from their apartments, about their heats» After the momentary panic had subsided the mass of the alation hurried to the scene of devasta- tion, and witnessed what might be literally said to beggar description. The vicinity, which but a few moments before had been oue of the most beau’ "ul im the city, was nothing but a blasted waste, cad who were most familiar with the spot be ae bewildered, and found it difficult to tell where they .

Bishop Lee’s fine brick mansion stood on Four- teenth street, immediately opposite Orange. ‘The unds, which were beautifully laid out, extended bets Fourteenth street to “Brandywine Race.” The building was about forty feet in width, and fronted on Fourteenth street.’ It stood back about a hun- dred and fifty feet from the line of the street. The rear was delightfully located on the bank of the creck, The mansion Semeriy belonged to the Canby es- tate, and was purchased by the Bishop some years since. The effect of the explosion on this house was to literally burst it. A considerable portion of the front wall was thrown to the ground, and the Vl of the wal! which remain standing were rent m top to bottom in at least a score of places. The roof was broken up as though a battering ram had been applied to it from the inside. The doors and window frames were thrown pd out. Two young ladies, nieces of the Biehop, were in the building, but escaped unhurt. A young Irish girl, engaged as a nurse in the family, was thrown violently down , With an infant in her arms, She escaped with a few bruises, and the child was unhurt. Acolored woman employed as cook was very badly hurt. Jn fact, her life is despaired of. We are unable to give her name. The session of the State Convention of the Bpis- copal Church in Delaware commenced yesterday morning, and the body had just organized at the Trinity Chureh, when the explosion took place. Bishop Lee and his lady were present. Mr. Alexis Dupont was also in attendance. The church edifice was shaken by the Sapien ane many panes of | glass were broken. The anxiety and the anguish of the assemblage at the frightful event, may readi- ly be conceived. Many offers of a home were made the Bishop and his family, and they were temporarily domiciled with Dr. Thompson, The furniture of the reverend gentleman was part- | ly saved, and his library was also got out of the ruins in a damaged condition. The grounds about the Bishop’s house present a sickening scene of de- vastation. Many noble trees were stripped of their foliage, or had their limbs torn off, leaving nothing but a blackened stump; others again were torn up by their roots and blown to pieces. The garden was | literally strewed with fragments of horse flesh and | shreds and pieces from the wreck of the wagons and harness. In this garden a fine lilac hedge, of great beauty, was swept away, and nota trace of it can | now be found. The dwelling and grounds of Mr. James Canby, at the corner of Market and Fourteenth streets, adjoin- ed the property of Bishop Lee on the east. The garden here was also torn in pieces, and the building is much shattered. In Mr. Canby’s dwelling some | singular effects of the explosion are exhibited. It is a large double house, built in the most substantial manner. The rear wal! is bulged out; the roof is raised up and thrown out of its place, while the plas- ter throughout the house is blown from the ceilings. Every particle of glass and crockery ware was dash- ed to pieces; the furniture was broken up; but in the midst of all, an old-fashioned clock, which stood against the wall, continued to tick on as usual all through the explosion and the consequent confusion. There seem to have been two forces in operation to produce the mischief resulting from this disaster. The first was the direct force of the explosion which impelled objects in its immediate vicinity from its centre, The second was the rushing of the air from all directions to supply the yacuum caused by the rapid rarefaction of the air. This is exhibited in all the objects damaged which were not in the imme- diate proximity of the exploding powder. All tend to the locations of the wagons as to a common centre. This peculiarity is illustrated in the mansion of Mr Canby. Two large parlors, separated by fold- ing deors, arein the north wing of the building. | These parlors were closed at the time of the expl sion, and the heavy folding doors were shut. The latter were torn from their hinges and carried bodily | against the end of the building, next to the centre of the explosion. The shutters and sash In that end of the house were burst outwards, while in the oppp- | site end they were dashed inwards. This house will Prcbenl haye to be torn down. The only person art in Mr. Canby’s dwelling was a colored woman | employed as cook. She was somewhat bruised. Mr. C.’s stable was burnt, and the two carriages and a sleigh in it were blown to pieces. Several small houses on Orange street, between | Fourteenth street and the top of the hill were | shattered. The fine mansion of Mr. James E. Price, at the southwest corner of Market and Fourteenth streets, | was damaged to about the same extent as that of H a Canby. It also will probably baye to be taken own. | Adjoining this builéing on Market street, the dwelling of Mr. Plater stands. Its glass was all shattered, and the glass and crockery inside were dashed to pieces. | | The next house is John H. Price’s; this is much f Joseph Price next to the southward. | All the buildings in this neighborhood are more or Jess damaged, and a row of seven brick dwellings on Thirteenth street, known as B: a Row, suffered considerably. The stables of Elisha Hoxley and Jo- “i Price were nearly destroyed. jousands of lights of glass were demolished in different parts of the city, and the plaster was de- tached from ceilings more than a mile distant from the scene. We noticed two bulk windows, glazed with very large panes of glass, six squares from the scene. ey were dashed out bodily, saeh and all, although a hill intervened between them and the explosion. In Brandywine village, across the creek, a great deal of giass was broken, and doors and shutters were torn from their hinges. Some of the effects of the explosion were most astonishing; of the fifteen horses comprising the teams, most of them were blown to fragments, in rome cases pieces of heavy iron work were driven through their bodies. Heads, legs, hoofs, &c., were picked up hundreds of feet from the scene, and millions of small fragments of horse flesh covered the ground in every direction. [tis a curious cir- cumstance that in every case the iron shoes were torn from the hoofs of the animals by the force of the explosion. @ tires of the wagon wheels were of the heaviest description, being four inches in width and one und a quarter inch in thickness, found straightened out like a bar, and detached pieces were thrown to a great distance. On 2e of tire was driven into a brick wall at Market = and Twelfth street. Another piecetot tire"was driven a depth of --ve- ee OD Tt was driven in across the grain, and was wedged as firmly ae though it tad ral inches into the trunk of a bution-wood t: Fourteenth street. grown there. One of the mort wonderful, if not the most won- | derful result of this terrific explosion is the effert it where it took place. The spot | had upon the earth where each wagon stood is marked by a cavity in the ground not less than twenty inches in depth. The hard road is sunk down to that distance, and deep fissures around the edges of the hollows show where they were driven before their former leyel. At one point the water pipe, which lies four feet below the surface, was dashed in, An iron flre ping near the spot wae swept off level with the ea le At St. Mary's College, 600 lights of glass were broken; 40 out of 42 large lights upon the fi floor were demolished.

Several reliable sons, who were in quiet parte of the city at the ime, aseured us they heard the sound distinctly, The teams, wagons and powder were valued at $5,000. The total pecuniary loss will probably not fall short of $75, or $100,000. We understand that Mesars. Dupont & Co. have determined to pay all losses that can be covered with money. The cause of the explosion is a profound mystery. It is generally believed that some powder from one of the foremost wagons had escaped from a defeo- tive keg, and that it has been ignited by a spark struck by the hoof of one of the fin ler horses, A horse on this same road bad his tail singed in thie way a few days since, LIS?

Mr. Minuiken said the Fire Department would welcome every action having a tendency to restore it to its former high position. Mr. 1).

Barstow, J. P. Phoenix, and }). Millikin, was appointed. Mr, Curtis addressed the Chamber with regard to Senator Gwin’s proposed bill, concerning the New York assay office, by which depositors would re- ceive only bars in exchange for bullion, instead of acertificate of the net value of bullion deposited. Its passage, he said, would be equivalent to a repeal of many of the advantages contemplated in the es- tablishment of that ce. The great point in- volved was whether the government or depositors shall bear the expense and risk of ti rtlng bul- lion to Philadelphia for coinage. Under Senator Fish’s bill, the government transmits it on its own account ; under Gwin’s, the depositors must send it, and pay half of one per cent for coinage in addition, The latter compels all who want coin to send to Philadelphia, and pay seignorage—the former ena- bles them to get it here at the fall value of the bars, When bullion was wanted only for Cia the REO posed return of bars waa well enough ; but when Ate was wanted, the assay oflice would be of no avail.

At the firet board [linois Centra) Railroad bonds advanceé 4 por cent; New York Central bonds, Delaware and Hudson, }4; Pennsylvania Coal, ‘ Comberland, 144; Reading Railroad, 2(. Parker Vein fell off \{ per cent; Harlem, 1{. Holders and buyers of Cumberland are full of faith in the ultimate appreciation of that stock. The active demand exieting for coal of every description, and the advance in the market value in consequence of the inability of the different compa- nies to provide a sufficient supply, must make the baal. ness most profitable to miners, and place some cf the ooal companion in A strong position. The Delaware and Hudson, Pennsylvania Coal Company, and Cutnberland Company, are, it i¢ reported, literally coining money. ai The rise in the price of tho article within tho past few weeks is of itself sufficient to give a very large profit, it if our impression that compa nies engaged in the mining and transportation of coal must, as tho deinand for consumption increases, become moro prosperous and productive, The facilities for fernishing coal to consumers are y day becoming Jess in proportion to tho quantity required; and ay the works of transportation are already taved to their ut most capacity, the time is not far distant when coal } | must command more remyneyative pricen, solely from the dificuty of getting i. It requires an expenditure of many millions of dollars to construct « railroad or canal for the coal carrying trade, and we therefore can- ‘not expect any immediate addition to our present facili- ties. This year—1864—the demand for consumption ‘will be-eryua! to six and « half millions of tons, and {t will require the constant and uninterrupted operation of the transportation companies to bring down six millicns of tons. The deficiency will be’ made up by the stock on hand at the commencement of the season; and the pro- “ability is that at the close of this year, or upon the opening of another, dealers wil! be completely cleaned out. The difficulties next year are therefore likely to Decome greater than those realized thus far this; all of which must prove highly favorable for those engaged in | ¥ producing and marketing the raw material. In regard to the Cumberland Company, we learn that it is doing @ very large and very profitable business, not only im mining coal; but in transporting it to market. freights run so high, in consequence of the dificalty experienced in getting bottoms, that very great protits are made by the company in the transportation of its own coal to market. This last may be only » temporary | advantage, and must mot therefore be depended upon much for revenue, Coal at present prices pays well— well enough to enable the company to show, at the close of the year, anet income greater than has heretofore been anticipated. There probably is no article of general use the actual, bona side consumption of which is in- ‘@reasing so rapidly as coal, both anthracite and bitumi- nous. The disappearance of our Immense forests, and consequently the enhanced price of wood, must compel all railroad companies to use coal in thelr locomotives. This has already commenced, and as improvements are made in the construction of furnaces, it will become more general. The existence and extension of almost every branch of industry desends upon a proper supply of coal, and itis therefore important that every etfort should be made to provide the ways and means for keep- ing up large receipts. At the second board to-day nearly every fancy on the list fell off a fraction, and the market closed heavy.

It is now exactly three months since ground was first broken at the mine; but in consequence of th Weather and yarious other obstacles, no useful progress was made, and in fact no actual work begun until the Ist of April or thereabouts. At that time a force of miners set to work vigorously, and a/iditions have been constantly made to i minse At prosent. the xnnarin- tendent writee that he has from two to three thousand tone of quart: extracted, and thatan average of fifty men are kept constantly at the shafts and levels, itis of course impostitle to prodicate the value of this quartz with anything like accurasy, until ft is crushed in large quantities; it will be remembered, however, that the samples, (many of which wore parcels of several hun- dred pounda weight.) whose ervshing we have noticed from time {o time, have uniformly yielded a very high average of gold. 4 few days hence, the prospect of the company will rest on someihing more solid than samples. The machinery will be shIpped before the end of next week, and by the first of July it is conidently expected that the steam engine and crushers will be erected. Tools are being shipped to supply @ force of three hun- dred men, and it is the expectation of the managers of the company that they will from the o t crush one hundred tong of ore per day. Thi expectations seem to be shared by the peoplo © neighborhood of the mine and at Prederickeburg. We trust they may be realized. The following were the bide ai the Mining Board:— Bid. Asked, Bid.

At the last accounts ores were coming forward rapidly, and the appearance of the enormous copper veing of the district was never more promising. It would not, perhaps, be surprising if it wore found that the vtock wae being gradually concentrated into a few bani, like the Hiwassee, which, since it way first introtaced to the board, has never once receded, but always steadily ad vanced. If 60, the present figure would soon be passed. We havo receives the second annual report of the Hiwaseee Cowpany. Like everything emanating from that concern, it is business-tke and patisfactory. Vrom it we learn that from July, 1853, to May, 1854, 404 ton | of ore were sold and delivered by the company, producin £40,402.
