THE GREAT EXHIBITION. BENTS FOR HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY. A very small company visited the Crystal Palace ea Saturday. The returns at 1 o'clock showed that 4,283, and at 2 that 6,843 persons had entered the building. Up to 6 o'clock the number prawn did not *send 12,000, 8,863 of whom paid the 6s. entrance money, the remainder being holders of season tickets. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Princess Alice, visited the Imbibition at half-put 9, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, the Duke of Brabant, the Count of Pleader, and the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. The royal party spent a considerable time Ia Tiowin: oak e n e tole : fur, and skint in the aglish department.

At the other end of the ball, under the window, i igeopmed to erect a magnificent throne for her Majesty end Me Royal Highness Prince Albert. Chairs of ' state will also bo placed near the throne for the other royal visitors, the Lord Mayor being allowed a position near. In addition to the Exchequer Chambers, the richly fitted op Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, and the numerous committee rooms and offices, being converted into retiring and supper apartments, it is contemplated to cover over the several court-yards which divide the present chambers, and erect an additional suite of rooms. The windows of the chambers will be removed, in order to give cspal wholesale manufacturers in the metropolis. Mims. G. Smith and Sons had the honour of showing her Majesty specimens of sable, chinchilla, squirrel, &c. ; also a very beautiful muff and boa, made from the skins of the Russian sable, estimated at a great value. Messrs. Robert Clarke and Sone also displayed a tastefully arranged selection of the regal for, ermine, the minx, musquash, grebe, &c. The royal patty afterwards 'elated the leather and saddlery department, and the boots, shoes, &c., the recent improve menb and inventions in all of which were described by the ezhibitors. After viewing the adjoining objects is the nave, including the model, in Ladyshere terracotta, of Lever bridge Church, Ova royal party proceeded to the cotton sad other fabrics near the western entrance, and examined some extraordinary specimens of fine spinning. Her Ma jesty expressed her admiration of the extraordinary mecha nical ingenuity displayed in drawing out cotton thread to the extent of 2,000 miles to the lb. ; and Mr. Seeley, one of the royal commissioners, an extensive Manchester manu facturer of cotton, had the honour of explaining to the royal party the machinery by which it is effected. The collection of carriages and other vehicles was then minutely inspected, and after two hours devoted to the examination of those different branches of manufacture, the royal party left. Another change has been made in the number and dis position of the jets of gas displaying the refractive qualities of the Koh-i-noor. All the minors placed around the cushion have been removed, and twelve gas lights now surround the gem. The new arrangements prove as •ia as those which preceded them, and this famous dimmed b becoming as troublesome as it is useless. Anions the presents sent to her Majesty from the Haw rajah of Travancore is a model of the great gun of BOA pore. made of the celebrated Atimudnugger brass, one at the historical idols of the Indians, who fur a long time be lieved it to be invincible. The original weighs 42 tons, and is worked by a circular racket wheel. The Italian com partment has been enriched by the arrival of several packages. In a glass case, in the interior, one of these re . access to the new building, and as they will all be fitted up with every splendour, they will present as magnificent a range of rooms as is rarely to be met with. Every availa ble apace in and about the hall is to be occupied, so that the greatest limit might be given to the amount of invitations. Possibly one of the chief attractions at the hall will be the crypt, which, after so many years' obscurity, has been recently renovated and thrown open to public view. If the present arrangements are carried out, it is not unlikely that in this antique chamber her Majesty and royal suite may be induced to partake of the supper prepared for them by her loyal citizens. The whole length of the ori ginal crypt, which is supposed to have been built in 1411, and of course escaped the great fire of London, will be thrown open and appropriately decorated. The walls are to be covered with looking-glass, and a style of illumination quite novel is to be introduced. As far as the arrangements have proceeded with regard to the reception of her Majesty, it is proposed that the Queen will alight at the entrance to the law courts, instead of at the usual front gate of the hall. A handsomely adorned passage will conduct her Majesty to the east end of the hall. There a door has been formed into the old cham ber called the Irish Room, on the basement floor, under the library. This will be fitted up as a robing room for her Majesty, and which she will no doubt occupy previous to proceeding to the throne in the hall. The time fixed for the arrival of her Majesty has not been determined on, but a strong hope is entertained in the City that the Queen will proceed to the hall in daylight; no difficult matter perhaps even with an evening entertain ment, as it is not dusk till half-past nine o'clock. Her Majesty will proceed in semi-state, in the same order as she opened the Great Exhibition, troops of the Life Guards keeping the line of road. Messrs. Staples, of the Albion Tavern, are engaged to furnish the tables. It is understood that 2,500 invitations will be issued, end of that number the common councilmen and their wives and daughters claim 798. Most of the tradespeople along the line of route in the City hare ar ranged to decorate and illuminate their houses.—Obserrer. . - cent importations has just beer. displayed.

The originals are to be exhibited in • structure to be fitted up in the nave fsr that purpose. The following notice has jug been issued by the execu tive, as to taking articles into or out of the - building: . . . • -. " 1.

No articles can be permitted, after this date, to he taken out of the building, or brought into it, without the express permiodon of the executive committee; and in order to luring this very important question us much as pm eible under control, the executive committee have em powered the following of their officers only to grant such permissions on their ochalf.—Captain Owen, WE., general superintendent; Mr. Iklshaw, assistant-general superin. tendant; Mr. Wylde and Mr. airman, superintendaute of districts 9 and 10 on the foreign side. " 3. In cow the removal of any foreign or colonial article be unavoidable, the enter must be countersigned by an offi cer of the C'u•tom house. " 4. The police are requested to aid tho officers of the executive committee in a rigid enforcement of this order. " L. The attention of visitors is earnestly called to this order, as persons currying packages of any description in or out of the building, which arc not strictly for personal use, may find themselves subjected to serious inconvenience and delay. " By order of the Executive Committee, "June 17, Mil." " M. Dicey WYATT, Sec. LN STEPNEY CHURCH. Yesterday afternoon the large and ancient parish church of St. Dunstan, Stepney, was the scene of a very disgraceful disturbance, arising out of the appointment of an afternoon lecturer, who was upon that occasion to preach for the first time. The parishioners of Stepney claim the right, which has been exercised ut least fur two centuries, of appointing au afternoon lecturer, and have recently elected the Rev. Samuel Oowcr Poole to the office, in oppo sition to the views of the Rev. Richard Lee, the rector of the parish. Mr. Poole had for some time officiated as curate, and had become very popular. In consequence of • representation made to the Bishop of London his lordship is the first instance refused to license him, and the rector openly avowed his intention of refusing him the use of his pulpit if he were licensed. The objections of the bishop were at length removed, and his lordship licensed Mr. Poole. The Rev. Mr. Lee, however, declined to give way, and persisted in refusing him the use of the pulpit. On Saturday morning a printed circular announced to the neighbourhood that Mr. Poole would enter on kis duties next day, and at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the church was crowded with a very re- I ,wctable congregation, every seat being occupied. ,The Rev. Mr. Poole read prayers in a very impressive manner, without interruption, and the congregation was most orderly. At the appointed time, the Rev. Mr. Poole left the reading desk, and proceeded into the vestry-room for the purpose of changing his surplice, and about the same time the Rev. Mr. Lee, who had remained close to the altar during the reading of the prayers, ascended the pulpit, to the great surprise of the congregation. A hymn was given out and sung, and the last tones of the powerful organ had scarcely ceased to vibrate, when the rector rose in the pulpit for the purpose of giving utterance to the usual prayer. The congregation imm e diately rose, and some gentleman in the gallery called out to those below, " Out, mil," and pointed to the western door. A gemel movement wee made in that direction, and a grist peaks of the mew gation had left amidst a sunreasni murmur, which was answered by a " Hush, hush" list Akers, until am foolish and wrong-headed indlianeft mar the weema ma of the chunk beim Wake and semis& The rector attempted Se *UM Sm. het wee met with a perfect storm of hides Gni gainnbg, In with cries of .No Paseptmar P. popish te =" Great confusion ensued, aid ills manicaler of the congre gation broke up into groups and began dimming the qua tioa at base and tamely nindlosimad the sesd net of the rooter who; ihedieg kiwi, IM MO el OWN • hearing, left Ile ma nod linnelf nek the lake, where he MO 1111111•61161 by a wambseg ic t gentlemen, tame and etbm questioning The en igma* de pre mien at four o'clock restored quiet.

Tot EXTEOTAINMENT TO MR. 0 Fox, THE CON TRACTOR, took place at Derby on Saturday, when numer ous and highly respectable party of gentlemen assembled at the Royal Hotel, todo honour to their townsman. Mr. Paxton and M r. I lenderson were invited as guests on the occasion; and we may here state that it is the intention of the town and county of Derby to pay a similar mark 01 respect to Mr. Pastor very shortly. About 140 gentlemen were present, including the mayor of the borough, who presided, Mr. C. Fox, Mr. Paxton, the ltight lion. Edward Strutt, Mr. J. Rtrutt, Mr. Bass, M.P., Mr. Heyworth, M.P., Mr. (leach, M.P., Mr. Alderman Mousley, Mr. Alderman Random, Mr. Aldermah Moss, Re., Ate. The usual toasts were well received, as °Peony.° was the " health of Mr. Fos," who responded. The health' of Mr. Paxton, the mayor, the members for the borough, the royal commissioners, better health to Mr. Ilenderson, and *evenl other toasts were given, and tie company separated at 11 o'clock. INSPECTIoN OP THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.—This morning has ing been appointed for an inspection, in Hyde park, of the household infantry stationed in London, a very large concourse of spectators was on the ground by an early hour, including many fashionable parties and a great num ber of foreigners. At eight o'clock the battalions of the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Fusilier Guards, under the command of their respective officers were marched on the ground, and formed into line. About nine Prince Albert and a brilliant staff arrived, and rode down the line, the band playing the National Anthem. The troops were then put through the usual evolutions and firing exercises. The review did not occupy above an hour and a half, and, at at its termination, his royal highness and staff left in the same order which was observed on their arrival, and they wen loudly cheered. QuEmes COLLEGES,IRELAND.—The following very important statement relative to the Queen's University in Ireland appears in the Ereniseg rust of Saturday evening "We are glad to announce that the entire system of amde aka instruction, comtemplated by the founders of the Queen's Colleges, is now completed by the fall establish ment of a university, endowed with all the VANS which the older and most hmoured institutions poem& The first meeting of the Queen's University was Iliad on Thursday lest in the Privy Council Chamber of the Castle, when the seaate was opened by his Eseellenetbe Lord Lieutenant, as Chancellor of the University.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1851. THE WAR MEDAL DINNER TO THE DUKE OF RICHMOND. On Saturday evening, the dinner given by the war officers, subscribers to the testimonial to be presented to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, in token of the high , and grateful sense entertained by them of his successful ex (Wiens on their behalf, took place at Willis's Room, King street, St. James's. The day was the 38th annivenary of the battle of Vittoria. The chair was taken by Lieut.- General the Right Hon. Lord Bauncle, K.C.8., G.C.H. ; and:the vice chair by Admiral Sir G. Eden Ramona, Bart., K.C.B. Among the company present were the guest of the evening, his Grace the Duke of Richmond, l. sat on the tight of the ettert=l:: ins zee' of Car t , gan, Sir Hugh Ross, Bowater,Mr. Guthrie, SirW.Burnett, Sir IL lialkett, Major-General Sir J.

Most of the guests wave d& end worn out veterans, and appeared in uniform, weeds( • number of crosses and decorations, indicating the length and variety of the services upon which they had been en gaged. After the cloth had been removed, and the routine toasts drunk, The CHAIRMAN rose, and after a highly eulogistie speech, said, turning to the Duke of Richmond , I have now the greatest satisfaction in presenting to your grace this testimonial of the affectionate esteem and respect of year fellow soldiers. (Enthusiastic cheering for some minutes). The testimonial, which is as yet unfinished, some of the figures in relief being at present represented by plaster models, was then displayed. It was placed on a triangular pedestal of ebony in a recess behind the chairman. The whole is to be completed by Messrs. Hunt and 'Waken is solid silver, the value of the plate being somewhere abase fifteen hundred guineas. Art apology was made by the flem for presenting it in an incomplete state, but it wassailed that it would be completed by the 4th of August. The following is the description of the testimonial:-O• the summit of a quadrangular pedestal is an allegorical group, representing his Grace the Duke of Richmond directing the attention of Britannia to the merits of her military and naval powers. His grace is represented in the centre in the costume of a peer of the realm, and has in his left hand the memorial to her Majesty, while with his right he directs the attention of Britannia to the figures of Mars andNeptune,the representatives of militiryand naval prowess, sad in the hand of Britannia is the war medal which she is about to distribute. At the angles of the pedestal are grouped military and naval trophies, between which are panels for the inscription, which is to be as follows : " Pre sented on the 38th anniversary of the Battle of Vittoria to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, K.G., by the recipients elthe war medal, in grateful remembrance of his long and unwearied exertions in their behalf, as a token of admira tion and esteem from his humbler brethren in arms, who auccessfuhy aided in defending their island home through out a long and arduous war, in which they gained a series of resplendent victories that led to an honourable and last ing peace." The second panel exhibits the interview of his grace with her Majesty in relief; and the third and fourth the names of the engagements in which the troops worn engaged to whom m ed als had been given. On the base are four groups—viz., two naval, consisting of marines, sailors, and boys, and two military, the fi rst consisting of 'a Light Dragoon dismounted, Light Infantryman, a Rifleman, a British Grenadier, and a Hussar mounted ; the second of a Royal Horse Artilleryman mounted, a Foot Artilleryman, a soldier of the line, a Highlander ' and a Heavy Dragoon dismounted, the attitudes selected in these compositions being those of applause for the action of the duke pot trayeil on the summit. Between each group are panels con taining the arms, and the lower base is empanelled with two ntilitary an d two naval subjects—viz., the battles of Vittoria and Orthes, and those of the Nile and Trafalgar, which arc placed beneath the appropriate eraups. The testimonial stands about four feet high, and will be exe cuted in dead and burnished silver, in the highly-finished style of art for which the firm of Hunt and Roskell is so distinguished. The Duke of RICHMOND rose, and was received with renewed cheering. In the course of his address he said—l never could understand the reason why the officers of her Ma jesty-a navy,who in aingle ehip action—in capturing privateer% at the hazard of their lives—in defending our convoys, or in their heroic and hazardous achievements of cutting out ye. eels in boats from the muzzles of well-trained and well manned guns in batteries, displaying a chivalry acid heroism, permit Inc to say, which few but British seamen colds' ever be found even endeavouring to attempt—l never could un derstand why these brave men, and the gallant spirits, the officers, non-commisioned officers, and privates, who in every part of the world maintain the glory of our arms, should be debarred from participating in the rewards they had so justly earned—l ask, why should any difference fie made between the advanced and the rear guards, between skirmishes usually preceding our greatest victories, when many were struck down by the bullets of the enemy and earned to the general hospital iu the rear, and thereby pre vented from sharing a few days afterwards in the glories of the general battle—l ask why should they not bear on theirbreasts the proof that they had been in personal conflict with the enemy, and cleared the way for their more fortunate fellows, thereby doing good service to their sovereign and their country. (Cheers.) I have made these remarks at the hazard of trespassing tee long upon you, because I feel that you will think the light infantry soldier should be my quick in his movements. (Great laughter.) Nevertheless, I do deeply regret, gentlemen, that it did not happen that these medals were given some 15 or 20 years since. (Hear.) There is not a single individual whom I have now the ho nour of addressing who cannot call to his mind some of the best and bravest men of all grades in the two professions, who now lie cold in their graves, hastened perhaps by pri vations, and their hearts not gladdened by wearing the tes timonial, to which they were entitled, of their sovereign's approbation and their country's gratitude. (Loud cheers.) In the name of the recipients of the war medal, and ou my own behalf, I can only say that I feel deeply grateful to her Majesty for the favour we have all received. (Great ap please.) I feel proud, gentlemen, in wearing this medal because it enableakne to address you as one of yourold com rades. (Applause.) I will not detain you further than to say that I beg you to receive the most heartfelt acknow ledgements of a grateful heart, and the best thanks of an eld veteran addict. (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the Duke of Wellington, and afterwards that of the Allies of the British anny. The toasts were drunk with enthusiastic cheering, and acknowledged by Sir Hugh Heiken and Sir John Wilson. The Duke of RICHMOND rose to give the health of one =Saltoun) who inherited the military reputation of a line of noble ancestors. He might have enjoyed the sports of Leicestenhire (which he liked very much indeed), bat he felt the time was one which called on everyone to do his duty, and he joined while yet very young one of the Highland regiments, with which he shared the dangers of the field. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in • brief and ener gde speech, and then gave, " The Memory of Lord Nelson, of R. Abercrombie, and all others who fell in the war which lb, medal commemorates." W. HARRY DILLON returned thanks for the navy, sad rr J. BALT for the army. The Duke of RIC HMOND proposed " The Medical Offi cers of Army and Navy, and the Civil Department of both aerials," sad in doing so paid a tribute to the commissa riat in connexion with the surgeons. Brave as was the British soldier, he could not fight on an empty belly and but for the care of the medical department, he would have often lost the number of his billet. No one who bad served could deny that better men never existed than the surgeons of the Bntiah army in the last war. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GUTHRIE returned thanks, and in doing so alluded to an occasion when, in the last war, one of our regiments faltered before a tremendous fire from the French, and the Prime of Grano, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and the Earl of , Hsieh (now Duke of Richmond), were sent to restore their confidence, _and brought them into action with the spirit. Mr. Guthrie concluded by drawing a flat- It cooetrut between the resent position of the medical men the service and that in which he stood during the war, when he was sneered at and despised. "The Warrant Officers of the Navy, with the Seamen and Marines, and the Non-commissioned Officers and Pri vates of the Army," was next given and acknowledged, and atat the gallant company separated soon after midnight. cold. ALLEGED MURDER OF A POLICE CONSTABLE.—OD Saturday Blr.Wakley, ALP., held a lengthened inquiry in the Middlesex Hospital, on Enoch Masters, a police-constable of the D division, aged 21, who, it was alleged, was murdered under the following circum stances:-John Allsop, 653 A, deposed that on the 29th of May he arrested in Salisbury street, Limon-grove, a man named Bailey, who was rescued by a large mob at the time. That deceased, who had been only ten weeks in the force, was passing to his home. Witness called upon the decea sed to assist him, which he did, when the mob assailed them with stones, and every species of missile. A labouring man knocked down the deceased with a blow on his mouth. A body of police arrived at this juncture, when the deceased and witness at tempted to arrest the labouring man, whom the mob de fended, striking deceased • blow on the back of his neck, which felled him to the ground and quite stunned him. The police arrested two men, but the party who assaulted the deceased escaped. Mr. George Corfe, resident-surgeon, I said that deceased was brought to the hospital on Satur day, and was treated for apoplexy, produced by a blow or tall. Everything was done for him, but he gradually sank, until Thursday, when he died. Witness made a post mortem examination. There was no external violence on the body. There was a large abscess on the lower part of the spine, which was wholly diseased, and had been so for at least twelve months. The spinal cord was inflamed. and the dimmed state of the spinal marrow caused death, which was hastened by the violence deceased bad endured.

The city of Bristol. nod its iesighbouring suburb Bedminster, were thesugheot Pelday night and Saturday scenes of the most were aid intense excitement and sus pense, in consequence of its becoming known that a portion of the shaft of the North Side Colliery at the latter place had given way, and that from forty to fifty men and boys were buried alive in the pit. The accident is stated to have been occasioned during the raising of a cart load of coal, which, when at above ninety fathoms from the surface of the shaft, swayed against the aide, and carried away some of the timbers with which the wall was packed, thus loosening and thro down a wing dointo considerable portion of the side of the shaft, and ' mis chief to so serious an extent, that for very many an little hope was entertained that any of the poor fellows below would ever be got out alive. The men and hays to the number of between 40 and 50 had descended to thew work 1 at 6 °lock on Friday morning, and the accident occurred about four or five hours afterwards; but its occurrence did not become generally known out of the pit-yard for some considerable time afterwards, when the wives and re lations of the missing colliers began to rush to the colliery, giving vent to their fears and grief in piercing shrieks and piteous cries, and producing a scene of the most painful kind which it has ever been our lot to witness. The full of the shaft was distinctly heard from above ground, and as soon as the cart had been la ded, men were sent down to examine the mischief, and they returned with heavy hearts and gloomy countenances, perceiving, as they did, that the work of repairing the shaft so as to enable persons with safety to descend to the bottom of the pit, a depth of 135 fathoms, would occupy a very lengthened pe riod, as it could only be reached by men suspended in the bucket, only three of whom could be employed at a time. However, the reparation seemed to be the only effort that could be used, and it was set about heartily, the men work ing in relays, and evincing a readiness and unanimity to rescue the sufferers in the pit which reflected honour on them. From eleven in the day, till nine on Friday night was consumed in this way, the men working incessantly, but without making any perceptible progress, with further por tions of the shaft occasionally giving way and falling to the bottom, and without any intelligence having been gained of the men below, whose fate was considered as being an a moat precarious mite. The only hope that could be in dulged in was that they at the time of the fall were in the roadways of the veins too remote from the shaft to have been struck by any of the detached matter, and that the water which was continually running into the pit would carry with it sufficient air to enable the poor fellows to hold out till they could be reached. At about half-past 9 o'clock, Mr. Knight, proprietor of the Ashton Vale coal-pit, volunteered his services to descend as far as the mischief, in order to ace if he could ascertain anything to enable him to judge of the position of the men and boys below. The period of Mr. Knight's absence was, to the numbers gathered around the mouth of the pit, one of the most painful anxiety. Upon his return, however, he was enabled to announce the gratifying intelligence that two of the hands, at all events, were alive. He stated that having got as far u it was safe to go, he listened and heard somebody below open and close the air hatch; suit, upon his hailing them, a man answered him and asked for lights and something to eat. Great efforts were now used, and candles were carried down and, being fastened to a wire, were passed below, and at 10 o'clock a conversation was held with the men, who stated themselves to be the only two in the upper vein, via., Bmine and Morgan Phillips, and accompanied their statement with the nielanchely in telligence that all their fellow colliers were in the bottom vein, and that they (Brune and Phillips) had been unable to approach the top, and could hear nothing of them. The mon team above continued working to get the shaft repaired and succeeded in passing some food to the two men in the top vein, who made other efforts to make those below hear, but could get no answer; so that the fate of the forty below seemed to be of the most hopeless kind. At about 3 o'clock on Saturday morning it becoming increasingly evident that to repair the shaft so as to admit of the usual pit bucket, descending would be a work occupying a very long time. Mr. Itennold, of the Malago Vale colliery, made a proposi tion for attempting in some decided manner the rescue of the two poor fellows who were known to bo alive. lie pro. posed that one or two extra shields or bonnets should be fixed above the bucket chains, that some ropes with nooses, through which might pass their legs, should be suspended under them, and that this apparatus should be lowered to Braiuc ,and Phillips, so 06 to enable them to escape by its use. The matter was discussed, and many thinking that the danger of passing up the shaft in its present state would be greater than that of remaining below for a time, it was resolved to send a messenger down to put it to the men whether they would risk the danger. They gladly ac cepted the offer, but it being feared that they might be in too exhausted a state to cling to the chains, it was de termined so far to alter the original plan as to append a small bucket, the diameter of which should only be about equal to that of the ,' bonnet."f his was prepared, and amen named North having in the most gallant manner volun teer,al to peril the descent, he was lowered to the first vein, and iu a short time brought up the two men. Their ac counts ipive little hope of the others. Phillips said he did nut believe that there was a soul alive below, as he had himself crawled to the mouth of the tip leading to the bot tom vein, and had hammered and holloaed, but without having been able to evoke any answer. Brains also ex pressed his apprehensions, but considered it possible that the men might have got to a part of the vein remote from the tip, and thought that some efforts ought to be made to descend into the bottom vein, which he thought might be done by means of a reel or windlass. Several men under took to make this attempt; and having cautiously de scended in three parties to the upper vein, a bucket was lowered to them, in which were a windlass prepared for erection, a canvas tube for an air shaft, and a piece of rope to lower into the tette= vein. After waiting for some time below, the signal was given to haul , up, and the men returned to the surface, having been un- I able to accomplish their purpose. They stated that the air was so foul that it was impossible to bum any lights there, , and they did not think it possible to descend the tip-shaft. North, who accompanied them, stated that he crawled on his hands and knees to the mouth of the tip, where ho , hammered for ten minutes, and that he called with all his might, and could obtain no answer from which he inferred that all the hands below had been suffocated by the foul air. The men concurred in stating that any further attempts at descent would be attended with the most imminent danger, and it now seemed that no chance remained open but by passing a wind-sail down the pit and forcing air down by means of a revolving fan, so as to afford the men a chance of surviving till the reparation could be sufficiently com pletcd. '1 his plan was at once resolved upon, and the women and men around set to work with such extraordinary alacrity that in an hour and a quarter an air tube of canvas, 80 fathoms in length, was completed. This was lowered down the pit, and air forced in in the manner de scribed. The men went on with the work as rapidly as pos sible, but it was necessarily so tedious, and threatened to occupy such a length of time, that it was thought some other attempt ought to be made for the deliverance, if alive, of the imprisoned men. The general feeling seemed to he that the descent would be too d ,ngerous to undertake, but at length a man named Francis Smith, who had been 1 before down, consen ted to make another effort, and he was I lowered into the lower vein. Others followed his example, and their c urageous conduct was rewarded with success, for, after a time, they had the satisfaction of making them selves heard by some of the men below, and of learning from them that there were none of them dead, although some of them were sinking front despair, hunger, and ex haustion. It was now felt that no time was to be lost. The pumping down of the fresh air had so improved the atmos phere that candles could be kept alight, and the men, having first passed some food down below, rigged a windlass and prepared to haul up the men. By half past three o'clock the first of them, • man named James l'eddar, had been hoisted from the bottom vein to the top one • and efforts were being used to bring up a second, married James Wellon , when • • fresh difficulty presented itself. The poor fellows had to crawl through a very small air shaft, and Welkin, being a lusty man, experienced the greatest difficulty in making the passage, whereby a great deal of time was exhausted, during which the imprisoned men in the bottom vein were kept m a state of the most anxious suspense. At length he was got through, and the work of raising the poor fellows was commenced and car ried on amidst considerable danger until seven o'clock at night, by which hour the whole of them, 41 in number, had been brought oat of the pit—rescued from what at one time appeared to be the moat certain death. Many of them, when got out, were in • v ery exhausted state, and some of them had to be carried in men's arms, but the proprietors of the colliery had procured the pre sence of m ed ial gentleman to attend upon the poor fellows as they were brought up, and by the a dm inistration of suit able remedies they were sufficiently recovered to admit of their being removed to their respective homes. They state that they heard the earth and stones fall, and felt themselves blocked in; that the air at times became so foul that they could hardly exist, and that they must have perished bad they not succeeded, by dint of great labour, in twice " tapping," and had not the occasional filling of earth and water brought a little air with it. They say that they worked till 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, when their candles were all gone, and themselves completely ex hausted, and they gave themselves up, and abandoned all hope of ever returning to the earth alive. Finding that the best air was in the bottom pit, they took to that, where some of them went to sleep ; others betook themselves to prayer. Subsequently, two of them forced their way to the entrance to the tip, where they heard, and were heard by, their gallant deliverers, who never desisted from their exertions until every man and boy was got out. It is stated that an application will be made to the Se cretary of State to send down an inspector of collieries to investigate the causes of an accident which had nearly re sulted in so awful a sacrifice of human life, and that that officer will also be requested to examine the state of some other of the west of hngland collieries to ascertain if they are being worked upon a safe principle. Tag Ron EXHIBITION.—Saturday had been named for the inauguration of the Rose Show of the Royal Botanic Society, in the Regent's Park, but on account of the backwardness of the Rowers the council allowed all tickets then preheated the right of admission to the grand peon the 2nd of July. The rose garden is laid out with undulating walks, and there is sulholent colour in the plants to titre a picturesque effect, but in no degree eam parable with the gorgeous profusion of the rhod,odeadrons and azaleas, though there are the varieties of red, white, yellow, and black roses.

LAWRENCP., EXETER. —At a vestry meeting of this parish, held on Saturday, to take into consideration the propriety of entering a protest against the " Synod," the warden in the chair, the follow ing resolutions were unanimously adopted : That this meeting, after an attentive consideration of the proposed objects of the synod, announced by the bishop of the dio• cise to be holden on the 25th of June next, deem it a pa remount duty of this and all other parishes of the city, to repudiate and protest against such contemplated assem blage as at once disloyal, illegal, and fraught with mischief to the best interests of the protestant church. 1. Because it is calculated, all covertly intended, to question the supre macy, "in all things civil and ecclesiastical, of our Sove reign Lady the Queen ;" the act of convening such PVIIOd, contrary to her authority, as required by the laws Of this realm, forming, with other indications, sufficient evidence. 2. Because its scarcely disguised object is to reflect on, and impugn the solemn decisions of our highest courts of judi cature, who have placed the seal of their condemnation on " the restless energy " of a prelate, who, regardless of pro testant principles, and the authoritydue to his ecclesiastical superior and venerated metropolitan, has dared to promul gate views utterly inconsistent with the cherished principles of our glorious reformation. 3. Inas:math as it regards the approaching meeting as a contination of that aggressive policy towards the laity, which , under the name of 'Cracta rianism," has of late years made such vigorous, but happily abortive, attempts to exalt the priesthood above the people, to whom, according to the langage of holy writ, they are " ministering servants." The careful exclusion of the laity front the so-called " synod," and the general disregard, by tractarian divines, of the feelings of their congregations, render it incumbent on all to stand fast by the primitive principles of our reformed faith. For these reasons, we earnestly protest against this renewed attempt to increase and perpetuate the unhappy dissensions which have been so recklessly introduced and fostered by a portion of the clergy, who, unmindful of the divine command to " preach peace on earth, and good-will among men," have, by the obtrusion of obsolete observances, and an undue enforce ment of the nonessentials of our creed, produced discord and confusion where unity should prevail. Resolved also, That the most cordial thanks of the meeting be given to our esteemed rector, the Rev. W. lleatham and his rev. brethren of the diocese who have signed the clerical protest. ACCIDENTS ON THE NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. —A serious accident occurred to the down mail train on Friday evening, near the Dutton viaduct, between Crewe and Warringtou. The line had been for a few days pre viously under repairs ' and on that afternoon the plate layershad been at wor k on the spot just before the train referred to was due. Whether any of the rails were left out of their places, or improperly secured, cannot as yet be ascertained, but from some cause or other the engine was carried off the line, drawing with it from ten to twelve car riages in the train, with such a degree of force that tho further progress of the engine was only finally stopped by the wheels becoming imbedded in the earth up to their axles. Most providentially the train had passed the pre cipitous embankment. Beyond a few contusions, and a considerable degree of fright sustained by the passengers, no great amount of injury has been sustained. A message was immediately forwarded to the Warrington station, whence Mr. Norris, the manager, promptly proceeded with a fresh engine and carriages, and the mails and passengers, after about three hours delay, were forwarded on to Liver , pool. We understand that a rigid investigation will be in stituted:by the company into the puss of this casualty, which, had it occurred but a minute or two sooner, must have been attended with more awful results than any of the numerous similar catastrophes that have been of late so abundant.—Another accident occurred on the same line to the quarter past 10 o'clock train on Saturday, from Ruston squase, when on its way northwards, about two miles beyond Wolverton. From some unexplained cause the luggage on the top of one of the carriages caught fire, and the flames spread with great rapidity. In one of the compartments of the next carriage behind it were seated Mr. Paxton, Mr. Bass M.P., and Mr. Cochrane, the superintendent in the buil ding of the Crystal relive, and Mr. Crampton, the engineer of the Submarine Tele graph Company from Dover to Calais. These gentlemen were on their way to share in the dinner given to Mr. Fox at Derby, and while chatting pleasantly together were suddenly startled by hearing shrieks and seeing flukes of fire drifted across the windows of their compartment. Mr. Crampton, guessing what was the matter, and comprehending at once the danger, opened the door, and leaping from carriage to carriage b the aid of the footbridge, made his way past that which was in flames, and was approaching the engine, when he was observed by the guard and driver, who, as soon as pos sible, stopped the tram. In the meantime his companions had a narrow escape, for the Hamm found their way into the compartment which he hail left open, and set the clothes of the inmates on fire in several places. They had the greatest difficulty in extinguishing the sparks and flakes of fire that had found their way in, but beyond some singes and a blister or two no personal injury was suffered. Had it not been for Mr. Crampton's presence of mind, however, very melancholy consequences might have resulted. As it was all the passengers were greatly frightened, and the luggage of several was destroyed. MEETINGS OP THE GUARANTEED INTERESTS CON NECTED wren THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. SCVCraI meetings were bald in Glasgow on Friday last, of the various railway companies which had been guarant eed divi dends by the Caledonian Railway Company. The meetings were held by the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston, the Wishaw and Colima, the Clydesdale Junction, and the Glasgow, Garukirk, cons idering ig Railway Companies, forte purpose of certain arrangements or agreements which had been come to by the representatives of these respective companies, relative to the dividends guaranteed to be paid by the Caledonian company. The draft of the agreement was submitted to the shareholders of each meeting, as also a bill at present before Parliament, by which it is intended that these conditions or regulations should be carried into effect. The drafts of the bill as read wore agreed to, and the several meetings then adjourned for a month, at which time they would fluidly approve of the bill, when it would be before the House of Lords. De putations were thea appointed to proceed to London, and urge forward the interests of the bill as approved of. REJECTION OP THE PROPOSED FROCK-COAT POE THE INPANTRY.—The United Service Gazette states, " Tbe hock-coat is not likely at present to be adopted. We hear that the clothing board have reported unfavourably of its merits, but upon what distinct ground rumour sayeth uot. We confess we should like to know the reasons for the re jection of what appears to be at mese convenient and hand some, for we do not doubt that a few words would suffice to remove them."
