      ACCIDENTS AND CASUALTIES . Boiler Esplosiox at Oxford . —Great gloom was cast over this city on Monday in consequence of Vv . e bursting of the builer connected with the steam apparatus in the pubic batns and washous ? s , which were opened to the public for tbe first time . It has caused the death of one vsrsftn—a hoy about ten years of age and a cripple , and fWe or s-x Other persons are raore or lass severely injured ; one of them ( the stoker ) it is feared can hardly survive . At about ten minutes to twelve o ' clock on Monday morning the opening ceremony was concluded , au ; l the institution -was open to the public ; but whiis several gentlemen wf re still about tV . e premise ? , and the Mar or , Alderman Batler , and Alderman Browninsr , bad just gnna an the outside , the accident happened . The boiler burst « nh a rBT-bllag noise iike distant thunder , and immediately the tall brick chimney connected with the steam apparatus * fell with a fearful crash . On r < --coverins from the shock the aboveirentlemen ran to the door An / -tTr » r » XT «>^ .- — _ . .

      leading to tbe engine-house ; this could not be opened bfct by tbe aid of a crow-bar , and then the fearfnl nature of the accident wa 3 apparent . The boiler had burst almost to atoms . Measures wereimmediately taken to rescue the unfortuuate sufferers . The poor lad , G < wgs B rcUeil , already ment ' oned , son of a tailor living in Geoige-lane , was found buried und « r some fatten brickwork anil machinery , quite dead ; his less appeared to be broken , and bis face was Very black . The stoker , a young man nam d Wordsworth , wrs tal » en oat of the rubbish , very severely hurt ia Imlfg * . & " . A man named Hosier , employed at the time ckansinj one of the baths wass'rutkon the bead % some of the falling brick * , and ?> nrt ; snd two girls , who w ^ re near at the imp ; received injuries . Had thfi accident happened ten or twelve minutes before , the cons > -qnene ? s m ' . glit have been far raore fatal , as large pieces of th ? . brickwork feH through the ridge-and-furrow tod ? of the washbous ? , in which the open * inc ceremony took plac > » .

The whole of them , four in number , w-ra immersed ; two of them were gnt out ssfsly ; the two others rose once , dinging to e ch other , when they sm : k , an . ! were not seen again : every effort wa 3 made to recover the bodies , but without effect . Tremesdocs Conflagration- is LiMBETH . —On 'Wednesday morning , between two and three o ' clock , a fire , a t - tended with ins destruction of property valued at some thousand pounds , suddenly burst forth from a ion ;! range of premises situate between Bs ? imett-s ! reetand Staniford-street ,

      Biackfriars-road . The principal bui'ding was occupied by Mr . Saston , a t 5 mb ? r raerchaat , whose properly extends from Upptr Groujid-s r ? et almost as far as Stamford-street , but owing to the large number of h- uses that interscted the pr ' eaiises on either side , it was at one psriod fe .-. red that every house near would have fallen a prey to the fury of the destructive element—as it was in the space of a few minutes the flam ? s shet for Iv in such a body as to vhe high above the houses near , ard the reflection was so creat that the fiie could be seen for many miles distant . The RojrI Society ' s i 5 re-escape 3 and several engines of the London Briaade and West of England Compaiiy were prompt in their attendance . The premises in which the disaster commenctd were all but gulfed , acd a § reat number of tlwse adjoining were Eeriou-ly damaged .

Shortly after the engine arrived the masts fe'l by the vessel ' s side , and , notwithstanding an immense co ' umn of water was poured upoa the burn , ing vessel , it was not until four o ' clock in the morning that the fire was extinguished . The vessel was a totnl wreck . She " was 'h u Countess of Durham , belonging to Jlefsrs .

The moment this was done , all the tr . eu except two left the passenger carriage , and

      a mtssenger *; as despatched to signal an approaching luggage train , which wbs then due from Retford , and the steam whistle of tvLich was tliea distinctly heard , but which , in consequence of a sharp curve in the line , . was not tben visible .

The cholera , being a visitation of Providence , did not touch tho legislation or policy of this country ; but , irrespective of that visitation , De had always thought that the distress of the colonies must be tncpd j » lanse degree to tbe policy adopted by tots country in 1840 .

Mackihsos seconded the amendment . Lord H , Vase supported the third reading of theBill . Mr . Headlam and Mr . Ewari opposed the reading of the Bill . Mr . M'Geeoob protested against the measure as whollv uncalled for . Sir H . Vernet said , he thought it was a matter for consideration whether it might not be advisable to adopt other precautions for the defence of tho country ; and in his opinion a small increase of the army , especially of the rifle force , the artillery and the engineers , might bo made with advantage lie would also recommend that swivel guns should be remounted upon the martello towers on the southern coast , as those fortications would be able to offer an ( ffioient resistance to any enemy who attempted to effect a landing , ........

      2 ilr . Osbornk said , for the last five hours honourablo gentlemen had risen to record their opiiiiotia against the principle of tlte bill ; but they had been unsuccessful in obtaining anyresponse from the Governmentbonch ; and the honourable and gallant membor for Bedford ( Sir H . Verney ) seemed to have taken upon himself tbe defence of the bill and responsibility of passing it into law . ( A laugh . ) He mu » t say he never heard so warlike a speech as that of the honourable baronet , expressed in such bland tone ? . ( Laughter . ) The honourable baronet ' not only asked the house to pivo a third reading to this bill , but he called upon the government to put tho martello towers in order , to produce the swivels that had been laid ly sinco the war , and to laugh to acorri a French invasion . He ( Mr . Osborne ) must say that he believed no money had been moro

      completely thrown away than that expended in tho construction of the martello towers . His objections to this bill were not founded upon what were commonl y called the views and principles of the penco party , in or out of that house . ' At the same time , ho would never umlervaluo tho exertions or impeach tho motives of that truly benevolent bodj of men . Ho ( Mr . Osborne ) felt certain that any impartial student of the history of our past wars and taxation would come to tha samo conclusion with a celebrated writer—that taxes were not raised to carry on wars , bat that wars were ra ' sed to carry on taxes . He believed the largo majority of that house would not dispute the proposition that the " greatest glory of war was only an occasion of taxafron , and that the most expensive luxury of the day was a successful

      general . He drew , however , a material distinction between armies raised for foreign conquest and armies for home defence . Ho was aware that somo hon . members of that house were opposed even to any measures of defence ; but he mi « ht remind those hon . gentlemen that in Utopia , the inhabitants of which—according to tho pious and learned Sir T . More —\? evo living in a state of jwirosfival happiness , detesting war , despising glory , prohibiting alike lawyers and soldiers —( a laugh)—the people wero not debarred from the use of arms in case their liberties were attacked , but they were allowed to fight in defenco of their rights and institutions . ( Hear . ) lie could not , therefore , imagine that the . ro was any person iu that house more Utopian than the Utopians themselves who would seek to denude tho country of its natural defence against foreign invasion

      Ho certainly thought , looking at the state of tho continent , ) it the gigantic armies there assembled , and at the reactionary rulera who were at the head of thoso armies , that the parliament of this country were fully justified in reviewing the capabilities of the defences of the country , with the view of putting them in the most efficient state It might be very well for hon . gentlemen to say that they ' had great oonfidenco in Louis Napoleon . Ho ( Mr . Osborne ) did noi ; wish to say an thing that could trench in any way upon the prejudices of tho most fastidious Frenchman , but he could not say that ho shared in tho feolinjr of confidence that had been expressed in tho . prosent President of France . He thought it most natural that a man who had rais d himself by tho power of the military order Bhould act in accordance with military prejudices . There could be no

      doubti whatever might be Paul , that tho power dreaded b y this country was France . They had no confidence in Louis Napoleon , nor had they any reason to entertain suchconfi . dence . He thought they might with advantage take a lesson from the . French estimates . It was an old saying that ono Englishman was e ^ ual to two Frenchmen , and it seemed to lie true in this respect—that ono English soldier cost double a 3 much as nny French soldier ( Laughter . ) The . British military forco was 113 287 men ' whose cost was £ 9 . 337 , 000 , or £ 82 3 d . 4 d . per man . The French force in 1843 -was 338 , 653 men , whose cost was £ 12 , 183 , 000 , or + 41 123 . 8 i ) . per man . The number of generals in the British army was 117 ; while in tho French army there w « ro eight marshals and 143 general officers . In total cost of staff and regimontal officers in England ' was £ 1 , 207 , 000 , or a charge for effective services of £ 3 , 104 , 000 , being about 38 J per cent . ; whiis the cost of

      me s-rencn stnn wasw . 2 ou . uuu , on a charge of £ 12 , 000 000 or under nineteen per cent . Tho clothing by contract for 302 , 500 Fronrh soldiers coat £ 165 . 500 , while the clothin * lov 113 000 English Boldiers , including great-coats was £ 3 G 0 , 000 , or 12 s . a-head more than the cost of tho moat expensive uniforms in the French army—thoBe of the engineers . Tim change for military justico in the French estimate was £ 8 , 000 , whilo in this country it was £ 32 000 When it was shown that , the French army- was kept iri tho ' highest stato of disciplino and efficiency at one-half tho cost of Hie British army , ho thought it must be clear that there was something wrong in the conduct of our department ? . He would therefore suggest that the house should postpone this bill , and should institute an inquirv on the subject . Wl-. y , a fm-ei . snev would bo surprised to " see how matters of this kind were brought before the house . The Home Secretary , who was , no doubt , veryskilful in the conduct of a Chancery suit , came to the house askincr t . l . Am

      i o raise a militia of oO . OOO men . Now , what could » Chaitoery bnrnster , and the Home Secretary , know about the army ? '' rear , hear , " and a lau ? b . ) He ( Mr . Osborne ) did not attribute any blame to the right hon . guntleman , but tho fault was in the system ; and hia opinion wns , that such matters should he in tho hands of a War Minist r in that house , who should be responsible for the government ot the army . Hear , hear . ) Ho had seen in the papers of that day an address from the Chancellor of the Excheauer to his constituents in Baekinghamshire-the confidim ; farmers who believed in him ~( a laugh }—describing this bill as " a measure of internal defenco which , it is befteved wili soon prove both popular , economical , and efficient . ' Ho ( Mr . Osborne ) was not much inclined to indulge in prophecy , hut he believed that so far from proving a measure of internal defence , it would produce an internal complaint which would be neither economical , beneficial , nor desirahie . ( Hear , hoar . ) Hie bill was , in fact , a sDGoioa of « . ¦ ,,.

      Itamcntary patchwork , which was not intended for the defence of the country , but for tho political exigencies of a Mmiitvy ; and he called upon the house to reject the \\\\\ which was of no use as a measure of defenco . Everybody wou ' . d : u ! mit that her Majesty ' s Ministers , were a nimble and aolive troop . ( Laughter . ) The noble lord at tbe head ' of the government had been successful in executing a very difficult manoeuvre , namely , changing hia front in tho pre . sence of tho adversary . ( Great laughter . ) The Chancellor of the Exunequer was well versed in light infantry movements , and knew , veil how to advance and retire on a budget . ( Lnugnter . ) The Home Secretary was equally expert in avoiding the file-firing of questions . ( Lau <> liter . ) His neighbour the right hon . member for North ^ Essox ( tho ( Secretary-at-War ) was an experienced soUiev , and would avoid danger at any quarter ; dug the Attorney-General had not been able to get much farther than the rudiments of " goose step . " ( Laughter . ) But the force which was nro .

      posea to ne raised wouui uoa iarce—an " organised hvno crisy . " ( Laughter and cheers . ) The bill was not worth the paper , and would more probably tempt invasion than repel aggression . ( CtR-ers . ) At tho end of five years affcur 121 days drill , the men were to be dismissed to their homes . Why , such a force would bo nothing but an irregular horde , moro likely to be dangerous to the regular soldiers than to their foes . ( Cheers ) Ho was much surprised that a minister at tho eve of an election ' , and therefore anxious , he presumed ; to a . ouirea little popularity , and to consult the " genius of the epooh " - ( lauguter ) -shouId have proposed to exempt peers from i&N ' i ( C , " A h oft < 8 entlema « beside him had aped to the ml . ia in America ; but Washington had a ways spoken of it with the greatest contempt ?

      » ws cnan wey were enacted , it might harden that the fotr ^ H repeS ! edwlli ! t ! l ° oStff ^ maint . t force , and thus power might be obtained by France to arrest political offenders . They were now called on to deal with a number of offences which had not before beon dealt with in tins way ; ho did not know whether being concerned h « i iT . a 3 ^ . Vnel ^ Oa t ^ other stdetho Channel , ne found the bill was tn a very forward state ; and as the RKnTfh bad ^ work . ing majority of something ike 200 to three- ( laughterHt might bo taken for granted that that act would soon be law . It contained some most extraordinary provisions . Frenchmen might by it be tried for offences-including political offences-committed ia England ; their English accomplices mi ght also be tried there ; and even Englishmen themselves , without any com . pbcity with Frenchmen , might be tried in France for offences against the French government .

      Lord MALMESBURY-The noble lord is mistaken in that , aion- haspassed > and lt is now confined to Fienchmeu Lord Campbeli , said they were all anxious to see a measure of this kind established ; but he looked with considerable apprehension on the proposal that a party should be delivered up merel y on the production of a warrant and oathot identity . Let the extradition in Englanl be conducted on the same rule as it was in France . The noble unlearned lord , then referred at great length to tho existing state of the international law between this country and the United States , and cited a case in which he had been consulted , and had advised the government not to deliver up a slave who was sought to be proceeded against on the pretence of horse stealing in the state of Maine

      Ihe Lom > Uuxceuor said , it was understood that we should have the same f acility iu Franco as the French government had here , and by Section 11 power was given to the Secretary of State to suspend proceedings under the act when he saw fit . ¦ 6 The Duke of Anora , said it was provided that pets » a sliouwi notbe taken under this convention and tried for political otteiices . The noble and learned lord on the woolsack eaid they must trust to France to carry that out but what guarantee had they ? We bound ourselves by aa aot , of parliament , whereas the French government was not to bind itself . He thought they wore bound to see that tha French gOTwnmcnt bound itself equally as much as this government did . Considering the rapid chances

      continuaiiytaKing place in the French government he did nofc think that any act of tho French government would be a guarantee equal to that of their own . At the same time , they must take it . ' 1 here were no less than twenty offences described m this act , and some of them , it appeared , mi ° bt he classed as political offences in the time of commotion . These were points of detail , but still they involved a principle . If they were to bo bound to give up prisoners without proof of identity , and on mere accusation , they oueht , at least to take care that the number of offences should be as limited as possible . Lord CitAxnoHTii saiJ , if i , e could see his wav to any possible roenns of making this bill tolerable , his objections would be removed , but it seemed to bo a bill to cam- out a treaty , tho terms of which were inadmissible . Tiie Earl of Malmksbuhy said he had tho l * n imuM firo *

      into their lordships' house rather than in thollouse of Commons because thc greatest lawyers sat in that house , and he trusted to them to put the bill in a proper shape . He quite agreed with the noblo lord that if it was to be looked upon as an Uisuporablo o bjection that prisoners should not be given up without proof of the crime-Lord Campbell observed that that waa wot requited . A \ l that they required was reasonable evidence . The Earl of Malmesbuot said it struck her Majesty ' s government , that by giving discretion to the magistrates h re , that they irnaht by sufficient proof ; though not by direct proof ot identity , havo power to remand for a month . —a power that did not exist under the present convention —that would give time to investigate the-casc aa far as it

      waa poasiDio to do so . Ifc was his cdnvio : ion that if thev tried more than that , they would get into exactly the same diHcu ty they had before , that their convention would be a dead letter , that their criminals would escape , and that they would have a number of French rogues ill this Country whom they could not get rid of . The greatest political SmJ- ?« P erson 8 w . ho had committed treason to the sute , might get a friend to obarge them with some minor JnZ ' f ? ey m'sht be taken t 0 Fr ; inoe on tho ^ arge , and that would exempt them from the greater offence . The bill had been conaidered b y the Home-office for the last two months with the greatest attention , and he hoped their ordships would agree to the second reading , amending the bill in committee . . °

      Earl Grbt concurred in the opinion that this bill ought not to pass in its present shape . He was as anxious aslny one for a convention between the two countries , but a mere statement of a person being accused of a crime in Prance was not sufficient for apprehending him and taking him over to that country . Tho magistrate ought to have such an amount of evidence as was ordinarily thought sufficient to justify him in committing for trial , and if he was not nrntaken that principle . was acted on in the convention with Urn United States , and vm found to answer , and he did not see why the same princi ple should not be applied to Franco . ! .. - rr Lard Bnououu suggested that the difficulty miSht ba met by requiring tho depositions against a DriBOner tn lu » laid before the Secretary of State . ^ "so ntr to ba Lord Stanley , of Aidkhmt said there had been no diffl culty foun in carrying out the convention wS the Un S
