The s-cnd wes served within the pregincts (f the commons, and is therefore void. It is probable, as the question must be decided, Bradlaugh will not oppose the first suit on its merits. TERRIFIC GAS EXPLOSION. The damage_done by the explosion of gas in Charlotte street, Toitenham Road, Mouday night, now proves, on Anvestigation, to be much more exten- sive than was at firs; believed. Whole blocks of houses are found to be so ‘badly shaken as to be rendered unin- habitable. The London Gas company and the city autherities ara working rapiily as possible to repair the dam- age, which will, however, require con- siderable time. It is thought further casualties " cecurred beyond the three or four reported. 1t is also thought that the Prince of Wales theatre is not injuced, although the shook was felt there, as tho gas was extinguished during tho performance. Examina- tlon by daylight yesterdsy morning in the district in which the explosion occurred shows great devastation; hundreds of valuable residences in'the neighborhood, iucluding many in Russell, Bedford, Warburn snd Euston squares cxhibit the . the effects of the explosion in a greater or less degree, while wany shops and stores in the vicinity will require extensive repairs, and pr.bably some will have 10 be taken down altcgether.

Quite & pumber of tho former attend- €d the opening exerciscs, which be- gan June 18th and continued until the 23d.
