LOWESTOFT DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT SEA On Saturday last, a most disastrous accident occurred on board the Tonning steamer, Captain George RIVERS, from Denmark for Lowestoft, with cattle. On arriving about forty miles off coast, nearing Winterton, she anchored to take a supply of fish from a smack, and on re-starting, and getting up steam, the boiler from extra pressure, burst, and the following casualties took place. KILLED: -- James CUMMINGS, J. LANGLEY, J.SPOONER, and 1 Danish cattleman. DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED:--J. WASP, first mate; J. F. REAY,sen., first engineer; E. PEAK; J.

Two smacks took the dead and wounded into Yarmouth; one other smack came to Lowestoft for the company's tugs, but before they arrived, two tugs from Yarmouth had her in tow, and brought her into Lowestoft Harbour, at 12 o'clock a.m. on Sunday. The most painful sensation was caused in Lowestoft to know the fate of the crew, and thousands were assembled at the noon hour in the vicinity of the fish market, anxious to learn all the particulars of so lamentable an accident.

BECCLES INQUEST--On Monday the 10th inst., an inquest was held at the Duke Inn, before B.L. GROSS, Esq., on the body of Mary Anne, the wife of John TYRELL, tailor, of this place, aged 47, who died suddenly on Friday evening the 7th inst. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was of consumptive habits, and previous to her marriage, which event took place only 12 weeks since, had an attack of hoemorrage [sic] on the lungs. On Friday evening she was in her usual state of health, but upon retiring to rest was seized with a fit of coughing, and asked her husband to get her some water, as she began to spit blood; and also requested him to fetch their next door neighbour, Mrs CAGIL. As he was complying with the latter request, he heard deceased fall, and upon re-entering the chamber with Mrs CAGIL, he found she had fallen on the floor, and was lying on her right side, and bleeding at the mouth. In about four minutes after this she expired. The jury returned a verdict, "Died by the Visitation of God from natural causes."
