Explosion

Philadelphia, Nov. 9. Yesterday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, an explosion took place at the extensive establishment called the Nitre Hall Mills, by which the barrel mill and about 2,500 pounds of powder, in it at the time, were blown up. We are happy to learn that no lives were lost, or any persons injured, by the explosion. The shock and report were heard distinctly in this city. The mill was blown up on last New Year's day, and we understand had been rebuilt in a very superior manner.
