[Translated from the (Meeks Eztraordisaria, August 16.] The excellent Senor Captain-General has received from the excellent General a communication, written at Cere htto at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 15th instant, in which be says that the pirates had it in contemplation to direct themselves towards Cabanas or El Muriel, with the intention of re•embarking, on account of the dismay and the dispersions in which they found themselves after the actions of the 13th, and dispirited by the junction of the treops in that district. To save time, I send a comma nitetion to the general commander of the marine, in order to prevent, with his naval forces, the re-embarkation of the pirates, fur in a few days I am sure to exterminate them. The Captain General Governor has also received, from the Lieutenant Governor of Bahia Honda a communication, w emelt yesterday morning at six o'clock, stating that be was informed by a peasant that the pirates, pursued by our columns in the puddl e s of S a n Miguel, hdabandoned theirs p , eition, and ran into the mountains in the direction of hahia-llonda and San Diego de Nunez, where the inhabi tants, animated with the best spirit, were ready to repulse them. By a communication of the Lieutenant Governor of Ma rie' en Cabanas, dated the same as the preceding, he states: " We were acquainted with the movements of the pirates who were routed. Orders were given to the soldiers and commanders of the jurisdiction, to move with all their dis posable men to prevent the re-embarkation of the pirates, and at half-past twelve o'clock all the busts were destroyed and sank near the battery." The captain of infantry and commander of the troop of Gmuiajay has also sent a communication, of the same tiny, dated algal -past five o'clock in the evening, in which he lays, that se-cording to the orders received from the Lieut.- Geeernor of Mariel, and in concert with the Lieut.-Colonel Mayor, commander of the infantry regiment Bayles, he marched at the head of a column composed of a eompaa from Dareelona and about forty volunisese , well MatM r and arm e d with swor d s anal pistols, sad the pfliallit pat with guns, all under the command of the chief. At tea minutes past live o'clock they marched in the (fixed.* of calunas, by l'inilloe, where they received the n notices for pursuing the pirates; and, during the := volunteers, anxious to follow the column, were coming from all pans.

A letter re ceived at the New fork Express office states : Our island affairs, which usually present so few features of interest for strangers ' are just now more than ordinarily barren of importance. The lot of August, the 13th anni versary of the day of universal and unrestricted freedom to the sable subjects of her Britaanic Majesty, has here (in Jamaica) passed off without the occurrence of any circum stance commemorative of the great event. Feasting and merrymaking there was none—a little praying and psalm singing among the elder of the late slave population was all that served to distinguish the day from any other from Monday to Saturday. In fart, the greater number of re cipients of the great boon stem willing to forget that slavery ever; existed in the colony—that they were ever otherwise than they arc—the most independent race of beings, I believe, on the face of the earth. The trial of the persons implicated in the murder of a Mr. bPLean, at Essington, St. David's, on the occasion of an election for a member of Assembly to represent that parish, Las resulted in the acquittal of all the parties save two, who were convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Mr. Robert Jordon, a brother of Mr. Edward Jordon (representative of this city in the popular branch of the legislature, and member elect of the Honourable Board of Council), was among the numbers indicted and acquitted. The same par ties were subsequently placed on trial for riot and assault, arising out of the circumstance which led to the murder of Mr. M'Lean. Some ten of them, including Jordon, were fully convicted and sentenced to eighteen months' im prisonment in the county jail. These trials occasioned a great deal of excitement here ; and their results arc likely to be productive of very beneficial effects in the lower order who are but too easily incited by the unprincipled eke tioneering partisans and rabid demagogues who ,infest so• ciety, to commit seta of the most;barbarous and atrocious character. _ _ The sugar sad coffee crops have been nearly all gathered in sad exported. Our pimento crop is rather late, bat premises to be more than usually abundant. The re turns of the value of this year's exports have not yet bees published, but I am inclined to believe that they will to a considerable extent disappoint the expectations of the planters.

It may be interesting to some of, our readers to learn that the " rotten movement" is progressing steadily, though =- ostentatiously. One of our late homeward bound ships took away 28 bales of Jamaica cotton. Some eases of smallpox have made their appearance in the parish of Trelawny, and had occasioned a great deal of apprehension, the more especially as cholera has not entirely quitted our shores. The co-existence in our island of these two fearful scourges of the human race would, I fear, tend to annihilate the little spirit and energy which we have left among us ; at all events, any further reduction—l mean, of course, to the extent produced by the cholera— would altogether prostrate the planting interest. into arkets el . last pop. ] NEW GRANADA.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The Crystal Palo= continues to bo visited by tho class of persons who thronged its avenues and its courts in the first days of the week—namely, the well-to-lo portion of society in the provinces, and foreigners from all quarters, but more especially from France and Germany. In the ex citement of the early days of the Exhibition those who were nearest the busy scene were of course the first to participate in the enjoyment of its varied wonders ; and most of these having by this time deported to their several localities, we may well believe that it is the widening circle of its fame, thus extending more and more, which keeps up the daily flow of tens of thousands towards Hyde Park Corner. The daily course of hurrying to and fro was a little varied yesterday by the appearance, in the afternoon, of eighty artisans in a body, from the kingdom of Sardinia, who have been sent over to make observations, end to take note of the most recent improvement. in the several arts tied callings with which they are connected. Such a step might naturally be expected from a liberal government like that of Sardinia, and ou the part of a people who are every ' year making advances in spirit and intelligence. This body is composed of the most experienced craftsmen in the king dom, and they come chiefly from Turin and Genoa. It would certainly be difficult for any country to select a more intelligent-looking or a more respectable body of artisans. They manifested the utmost astonishment and admiration at the Crystal Palace, and soon dispersed themselves over the Italian courts. There was a contribution of 250 per sons, of all ages, from the workhouse of St. George-the- Martyr, Southwark. The number of visitors was 41,209. Season tickets Sept. is account, Sep4.

REPORT OP THE ARBITRATORS TO WHOM THE Bn,tMAu LOCK CONTROVERSY WAS staynuntur.-." Whereas for . . . . manears past a padlock has been exhibited in the win dow tithe Messrs. Brantah's shop in Piccadilly, to which was appended a label with these words, 'The artist who can make an instrument that will pick or open this lock will receive 200 guineas the moment it is produced ;' and Mr. Hobbs, of America, having obtained permission from the Meson. Bramah to make a trial of his skill in opening the said lock, Messrs. Bramah and Mr. Hobbs severally agreed that Mr. George Rennie, 1.R.5., Loudon, and Pro fessor Cowper, of King's College, London, and Dr. Black, of Kentucky, should le the arbitrators between the aaidl parties; that the trial should be conducted according to ' the rules laid down by the arbitrators, and the award of 1200 guineas decided by them on undertaking that they' should see fair play between the parties. On the 23rd of July it was agreed that the lock should be enclosed in a block of wood and screwed to a door, and the screws sealed, the keyhole and hasp only being accessible to Mr. Hobbs sad when he `was not operating, the keyhole to be co vered with a band of iron and sealed by Mr. Hobbs ; that no other person should have access to the keyhole. The key was also sealed up, and not to be used till Mr. Hobbs had finished his operations. If Mr. Robin succeeded in picking or opening the lock the key was to be tried, and if It locked and unlocked the padlock, it should be considered • proof that Mr. Hobbs had not injured the lock, but picked and opened it, and was entitled to the 200 guineas. On the same day, July 23, Messrs. Bramah gave notice to Mr. Hobbs that the lock was ready for his operations. On July 24 Mr. Hobbs commenced his operations, and on August 23 Mr. Hobbs exhibited the lock open to Dr. Black and Professor Cowper. Mr. Rennie being out of town, Dr. Black and Professor Cowper then called in Mr. Edward Bramah and Mr. Dualgette, and showed theirs the lock open. They then withdrew, and Mr. Hobbs locked and un locked the padlock in the presence of Dr. Black and Pro fessor Cowper. Between July 24 and August 23 Mr. Hobbs's operations were for a time suspended, so that the number et days occupied by him were 16, and the number of hours spent by him en the room with the lock was 61. On Friday, August 'AI, Mr. Hobbs again locked and unlocked the pad lock in the presence of Mr. George Rennie, Professor Cow per, Dr. Black, Mr. Edward Bramah, Mr. Basalgette, and Mr. Abrahart. On Saturday, August 30, the key was tried, and the padlock was locked and unlocked with the key by Professor Cowper, Mr. Rennie, and Mr. Gilbertson, thus proving that Mr. Hobbs had fairly opened the lock without injuring it. Mr. Hobbs then formally produced the instru ments with which he had opened the lock. We are, there fore, unanimously of opinion that Messrs. Bramah have given Mr. Hobbs a fair opportunity of trying his skill, and that Mr. Hobbs has fairly picked or opened the lock, and we award that Messrs.

Yesterday, some little amusement was afforded the pedestrians in Hyde-park by the exhibition of a small model steam-boat (10 feet long) on the Serpentine river, illustrat ing Mr. Henry Vint's now method of propelling vessels by means of submerged wheels. The invention is designed to afford a new application of the paddle-wheel in a form considered likely to promote increased speed, and at the same time to ensure a saving in expense. The paddle boxes are fixed in the lower part of the vessel towards the stern, and the wheels, which are submerged, are made to perform their revolutions through the agency of an ordi nary rotary engine. Tho wheels are completely out of sight, and appear to bo so constructed as to prevent any great commotion in the water. PENSION TO PROFESSOR WILSON.—We understand that Lord John Russell has intimated, by command of her Majesty, the bestowal of a pension of 3001. a-year on our distinguished townsman, Professor Wilson. The letter intimating this mark of the royal favour is dated " Holy rood," and sets forth, we believe, that it is in consider ation of the Professor's "literary merits." The trans action is exceedingly creditable to the minister at whose suggestion the gift Is bestowed. The active movers have been the Whigs, who have often felt the weight of the crutch of Christopher North ; and we doubt not that the compliment will be duly appreciated by him of the redoubtable Maga. Had his own political friends been the medium through which the royal bounty had flowed, it would have been imputed to party feeling and political predilection. No such imputation can rest on his political opponents. We could have wished that the health and spirits of our distinguished townsman had been such as bet ter to have enabled him to enjoy his fresh hououn.—Scoe tisk Press.

Berkeley, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and several witnesses were called to establish the charge; but it appeared that Griffith was a bookbinder, working for Mr. Dugdale ' and that he had given information to the Society for the Suppression of Vies which led to the seizure on Tuesday of Mr. Dugdale's property. Thomas and Macken zie were employed by the society in making the seizure, and Griffith handed over to them the books in question, which he had received from Mr. Dugdale to bind, and which had subsequent to the seizure been taken back to Dugdalo's $ The prisoner Griffith said it was all done for spite, because he had informed against llugdale. The magistrate, after commenting on the conduct of the police officer for taking the prisoners into custody under the circumstances without a warrant, said it was clear that no case of felony had been made out, and he should, therefore, discharge the prisoners. THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY ; 011, " CHARTIST CO-OPERATIVE LAND SOCIETY." Yesterday being the day appointed for the elec tion of an official manager, under the Act of Parliament 14 and 15 Vic., passed during the last session, and entitled " an Act to Dissolve the National Land Company, and to Dispose of the Lands and Property belonging to it, and to Wind-up the Uundertaking," an unusual number of per sons assembled at the chambers of the Master in Chancery, Ilumphery, the Master charged by the Court of Chancery with the winding-up of the company. The meeting was appointed for 12 o'clock, at which period there was a considerable crowd of the parties' coun sel, solicitors, and others present. The Master's offices being found insufficient, an adjournment to Vice-Chancel lor Turner's Court, in Lincoln's-inn, took place, but as the court-keeper could not be found, the lock of the door had to be picked, and the various parties took their places. The following gentlemen were proposed to fill the office of official manager by the following learned counsel : Mr. W. 11. Grey, government accountant, by Mr. Chichester ; Mr. Quitter, by Mr. Reed; Mr. Turgriand, by Mr. Bag sheave ; Mr. Goodchap, by Mr. Roxburgh ; Mr. Ernest, by Mr. Edda; Mr. Price, by Mr. J. M. James; Mr. Croys dill, by Mr. De Get; Mr. Fellows, by Mr. noggins ; Mr. Norris, by Mr. Rogers; Mr. A. Hill, for Mr. Hutton; and Mr. Swett, fur Mr. Ainger. The proceedings attracted considerable attention, as being rather novel in their nature, inasmuch as they actually con template the application of the principles of the Joint Stock Companies Winding-up Act to the settlement of, and investigation into, the failure of the affairs of a company that had for its hybrid-like object the promotion of the land allotment system in different districts of the empire on the professed principles of joint stock enterprise, combined with the dissemivation of seditious and treasonable prac tices, under the patronage of Mr. Feargus O'Connor and his co-chartist propagandists. The act under which the proceedings of yesterday formed the initiatory step before the tribunal of a court of equity, sets forth that in 1845 an association or society was pro jected and commenced under the title of the Chartist Co operative Land Society, for the purpose of purchasing land on which to locate such of its members as might be selected for that purpose, and the objects of the society, with the assent of the subscribers, declared to be to purchase lands, erect buildings, and allot them to its subscribers, upon such terms as should enable them, by moderate industry, to live in comparative comfort and independence. For some time it was part of the plan of the society that it should be com posed of different divisions or branches, with delegates and officers. On its being found that the undertaking could not be carried into effect under the provisions of the acts relating to friendly societies, the scheme and rules of the undertaking and society were altered to bring them within the Jointstock Companies Registration Act. On the first occasion the concern was registered as "The Chartist Co operative Land Company "; in the second as "The Nona Co-operative Land Company " ' and last, "The National Land Company." Ultimately a deed of settlement was prepared and executed for the purpose of defining the con stitution and rules of the company, and of obtaining com plete registration, bearing date Ist June, 1817, and ex pressed to be made between the several persons whose names and seals were subscribed thereto, and Thos. Slingsby Dun combe, of Spring-gardens. in the county of Middlesex, Esq.. a trustee, on behalf of the National Land Company, and which deed was executed by a large number of the sub scribers. In this deed the purpose of the company was de• dared to be "the purchasing of land in various parts of the United Kingdom, and erecting on such lands dwellings to be allotted to members of the company, and also the raising of a fund, out of which sums of money shall be paid to or applied for the benefit of members being allottees of land," the capital of the company to be 130,0001., in 100,000 shares of 11. Gs. Subsequently the capital was expressed to be 19.1,0001., in 150,000 of U. Gs. each, hut shares exceeding that number have been subscribed for. The perpetual yearly rent charge to be paid by the allottees of land was reduced from 5 to 4 per cent. on the cost price of the allot meats and advances made. The act of parliament states that the company has not been completely registered, and her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench had decided that the company was not established for any commercial purposes, or for any purpose of profit, or fur the purpose of insuranoe or assurance, within the meaning of the Joint-stock Companies Registration Act. With the assent of the subscribers Feargus O'Connor, now of Notting-hill-terrace, in the county of Middlesex, Esquire was appointed, or assumed to act as chairman of the board of directors and general manager of the association, with general powers, at his own discretion, to net in purchasing lands, making contracts, undertaking and executing works, and contracting debts on account of the undertaking. The said Feargue O'Connor had entered into various contracts and incurred various lia bilities for or on behalf of the subscribers to the said un dertaking, iu endeavouring to procure the same to be enrolled as a friendly society, or completely registered as a joint-stock company, or otherwise legally established ; and also in endeavouring to bring the same into operation, and to carry out and effect the objects thereof, and in and about the examination of titles and the purchase of lands on account of the undertaking and the improvements thereof, and the erection of buildings and in the sale of lands, and in defending actions brought against him in relation to the funds for cultivating, purchasing, and im proving various lands, and in making advances to allottees. Portions of the purchased lands have been eold by Feargus O'Connor for the benefit of the company, and have been conveyed to tho respective purchasers. Various allotments of the purchased lands, with the buildings and improve ments, have been made to different subscribers to the under taking by lot or otherwise, in accordance, or supposed ac cordance, with the rules of the company, and the allottees have been put into possession, and certain of them have alleged not only that tho allotments could not be properly cultivated, so as to yield the means of discharging the rent reserved on them, but also that tho allottees had sunk in the cultivation thereof labour and capital exceeding the advances so made to them and the value of their occuralem and some of such allottees had received advances of may, or of seed stock, tools, implements, or other goads ad a the funds of the company, and some of such 'Unmade Add been conveyed to the respective allottees. The me off me& Bement further recites that the act of parliament midi it MU composed, or intended to be composed, el dif ferent divisions or branches, may have been con trary to the provisions of an act passed in 39th George 111., intituled "An act for the more effectual sup pression of societies established for seditious and treasonable purposes, and for better preventing treasonable and sedi tious practices." Doubts were also entertained whether the undertaking wee not illegal as a lottery, either by the common law or wrier the several acts of parliament relat ing to unlawful lotteries and other games, and whether the promoters of the undertaking or subscribers were not in consequence liable to pains and penalties. It had been contended that the declaim of the Court of Queen's Bench was erroneous, and that if the cm y was within the provisions of the Joint-stock Registration Act the promoters may have incurred pains and penalties by taking subscrip tions for shares beyond the amount authorised by the act and by doing acts prohibited. Doubts were also to be entertained as to the power of Feargus O'Connor to Nell and convey the lands to the respective purchasers. The subscribers to the undertaking had commenced actions against Feargus O'Connor for return of their subscription. A committee of the Hoes of Common. in 1848, reported that, considering the great number of persons interested in the scheme, and the bona fides with which it appeared to have been carried on, powers might be granted to the parties concerned to wind up the undertaking, and to relieve them from the penalties to which they might have incautiously subjected themselves. On these grounds, amongst others, it was prayed that the company should be wound up. the various learned counsel proposing the official ma nagers proposed them respectively, in speeches of consider able length ; and ultimately the Master adjourned his de cision until Tuesday fortnight. BaNOOS AND CAMIAZVOII RALLWAT.—This im portant breach of railway, for the ecevenience of the southern and wester* part of Carnarvoashire, is fast pro gressing.

Bullock and the Fearless steam-vessel, of which he has the command, have been placed under orders to mist, in about a fortnight from this time, in laying the submarine telegraph from Dover to the most eligible place of communication on the coast of France. The Fearless being a vessel of only 78- horse power and 168 tons burthen, and the weight of the gutty perch* and lead covering of the electric wires being upwards of 180 tons, the Lords of the Admiralty intend placing another vessel at the disposal of the Electric Tele. graph Company, to facilitate their laying . down the line acme the c han nel, and the chain of communication boa been brought to such a state of perfection by the gutty parole covering and outer leaden covering, that then Is •v reason to believe ft will now be perfectly mo,"'"fal' :ETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday a meeting of Middlesex magistrates was held at the Sessions-house, on Clerkenwell-green, for the despatch of county bultacse. The chairman of the court, Mr. Powsia.t., presided ; and there were 3d magistrates present. The preceedings were opened by Mr. MACDIt, the de puty-clerk of the peace, reading over the minutes of the three preceding courts. Mr. Serjeant ADAMS called the attention of the court to the alterations required at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the reception and safe custody of prisoners, and for the better accommodation of the public in the court ; and upon his motion, seconded by Mr. Jostatt Wfiaseig. a committee was appointed to order and carry out the requisite alte rations. The report of the committee for accounts and general purposes stated that the accounts of the coroners had bees examined, and the committee recommended payment of them to be made as follows :—Mr. Baker, for taking 92 in quisitions from the 28th June to the 21st .lug., 291 f. 81. Id.; Mr. Bedford, for 41 inquests taken from June let to July 3114,1271. 14s. 4d., the coroner's fees in three cases being dis allowed on the ground that there was no necessity to hold inquests in those cases ; end Mr. Wakley, for 160 inquests taken between the 23rd Juno to 1 8 th August, 640/. Os. Bd., less the fees in two cases. With respect to a number of Mr. Wakley's inquests, the payment for which was deferred at the last court, for further information as to the necessity of holding them, the committee recommended that the fees for nine of them be paid, and five disallowed. The committee reported that they had made inquiry into a complaint made by a Miss Cailogan against Mr. George Pownall, the district surveyor of Si. Giles-in-the-Fields and St. George's, Bloomsbury, with respect to certain altera tions which were made at houses adjoining the one in which she lived, in Great Russell-street, those houses belonging to Sir 11. Mcux and Captain Smith, and after hearing Mr. ' Pownall's answer, the committee were quite satisfied that the conduct complained of was not improper. The report was received and adopted. THE COUNTY ythsoNs, ..... The reports from the visiting justices of the prisons were laid before the court. It appeared that the number of prisoners in the House of Correction, Cold Bath Fields, was 1,178; in the Westminster Bridewell, 629; and in the House of Detention, 198. The Cold Bath Fields report stated that a great number of prisoners had been attacked with diarrhoea since the 18th of August, but without any fatal results, and at the date of the report there were but two patients in the infirmary. From the report from West minster Bridewcll, it appeared that certain alterations which were being carried out there, on the principle adopted in the government establishment at Portland, had been stopped by the government inspector, end the matter had been laid before the Secretary of State. The general con dition of each of the establishments was spoken of as highly satisfactoi y. LIE LCNATIC ASYLUM AT COLNEY HAIM. The committee of visitors of the Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch brought up their report. It stated that since the committee made their last report, they had opened the asylum for the reception of patients. On the 17th of July last, the first of the patients were received into the asylum, andsince tliattime they have been coining in on every Tuesday and Friday, the reception day,. Arrangements were first made to receive from the private asylums the patients be longing to the parishes of the eastern division of the county (for the accommoitition of which division the asylum was placed in the locality it occupies), as patients in private asylums necessarily caused greater expense to the parishes than those kept in workhouses ; and application was at the same time made to the committee of visitors of the Ilan well Asylum, to send to the Colney Hatch Asylum such patients chargeable to parishes in the eastern division of the county confined there, as their medical officers might deem removable without detriment to their condition or feeling, hoping thereby immediately to create the long debited vacancies in that establishment, which would admit of recent and hopeful cases from the western district being taken in. The county patients still remaining in licensed houses next engaged the attention of the committee as an expensive class whose maintenance at Colney Hatch would fall lighter on the county than in private asylums, and the committee trusted that the numbers which it was supposed would he thus immediately secured would enable the com mittee to fix a moderate weekly rate to begin with. • • • They have now in the asylum 179 male and 331 female pa tients, and when the Hanwell Asylum shall have furnished the contingent which its medical officers have reported may be removed, they have reason to believe that the tint rate of nine shillings and eleven pence per week which they have found it necessary to make (being considerably less than what the parishes now pay at licensed houses), will be sufficient for the present purposes of the asylum. • * • • The committee find that there is no part of the acts of par liament for the regulation and management of county pauper lunatic asylums which specifically provides the pecuniary means fur meeting the expenditure which must necessarily be incurred for the mainten ance and care of the patients on the first filling of the asylum, and before a rate can be collected fur the purpose. Under these very peculiar and difficult circumstance', the committee hope the court will not object to authorise the county treasurer to make, from time to time, such advances fur th.., maintenance awl care of the patients, out of the moneys borrowed fur the purposes of the asylum, as may be necessary until the maintenance rates for the patients can be collected from the different parishes ; such advancer to be repaid to the county treasurer out of the maintenance rates when collected. This report was received and adopted • and on the mo tion of Mr. Itoreit, seconded by Mr. Joslett Witsos, it was ordered that the county treasurer do make the advances asked for by the committee. A mortgage for 20,000/. on the county rates, for the pur poses of the asylum, pursuant to a resolution passed on the last county day, was executed. Mr. MAUDE laid before the court a return of all monies paid by the county treasurer, on account of the asylum, ordered on the last county day, upon the motion of Mr. Armstrong. It appeared therefrom that the total cost of the asylum, including the 20,0001. granted on the last county day, and the sum of 21,0001. for which a motion stood in the paper for to-day, was 272,400/. Some discussion having taken place upon this return, Mr. ARMSTRONG moved that the return be printed and circulated amongst the magistrates and the parochial officers of the county. This having been seconded, a long discussion ensued, in which the motion was opposed on the ground that the re turn was not prepared perfectly, and that it would not give a correct notion of the expenditure of the money by the committee. An amendment was proposed that it be not printed, which amendment eventually was put as a sub stantive motion, and carried almost unanimously. Mr. ItO'fCII then moved, pursuant to notice, " That the sum of 21,0001., to be raised by way of mortgage on the county rates, be granted by the court, for the payment of the costs and expenses incurred and to be incurred by the committee of visitors of the Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch, and for the completion of the same." The hon. magistrate catered into a detailed statement of the purposes to which this sum was to he applied, Mr. JOSIAH WILSON seconded the motion. An amendment to this motion was put on the paper by Colonel Wood, but Mr. Devon, whom Colonel Wood had requested to move it, stated that he should exercise the dis .;retion the gallant colonel had given him, and not proceed with the amendment. The motion was then agreed to. Mrs. Ann Wilson was appointed keeper of the Guild hall, Westminster, as successor to her late husband. The Committee of Visiting Justices of the House of Cos , rection at Coldbath-fields were authorised to expend a eau not exceeding 1801. in erecting a new cooking-house at that prison. Mr. MAUDE laid before the court a letter from the Home- sffice, approving of the appointments of Mr. White and Ma . Jennings as surveyors of the north and south dis tricts of St. Mpylebone. After some routine matters had been disposed of tin court adjourned. THREE PERSONS BURIED IN A BURNING COAL PlT.—Buissixe, SEPT. 4.—A dreadful accident has well nigh occurred at Tingle-bridge colliery, the property of Earl Fitswilliam, and situated at Hemingfield, in the parish of Wombwell, about five miles south of Barnsley. Shortly I after the men had commenced working on Tuesday morn ' ing, one of the miners fired a shot for the purpose of felling some coal. Soon afterwards the fallen coal, ignited. The men endeavoured to extinguish the fi re in their usual me thod, that is, by waffing " their caps and smocks, which had the effect of driving the snlpburated air to the burning masa, which soon increased the fury of the fire so much that the men considered it dangerous to continue in the pit. They therefore amended the shaft ; and shortly after they arrived at the top the mass burned with such vehemence as soon to blue and roar like a furnace. They then made a stage at the mouth of the pit for tho purpose of extin plashing the fire, by preventing any air getting to it. I This business occupied the men near an hour. While thus meployed the signal-bell rang. This the men thought was °o utwitted by the material which they were putting down to close the mouth of the pit having fallen against the bell wire, being confident no one was in the pit. They again resumed their labours, and had been at them some time when the bell again rang. They then looked round the pit hill, and found that one man was not amongst them. Some were positive they had seen him on the hill with the rest of them ; others doubted it. It was then agreed that a messenger should be sent to his residence, to see if be was there. The man's residence being a mile and a quarter from the pit some time elapsed ere the messenger returned, during which time the men stopped putting more material down the shaft. However, the bell rang more violently than before, and by the advice of the engine -tenter the covering was taken up again and a corve put into the chair, end lowered to the bottom of the shaft, and when drawn up again it was found to contain the missing man and two beys, who had been buried In the burning pit above an hour, and brought out unhurt. Two horses and an ass perished. It appears the man and bon although present when the others were endeavouring to ex tinguish the fire, thought there was no danger, they there fore went to their work in another pert of the mine, end time.
