THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM. GLA ND SU T t HE FRENCIIIkI BATTLE IGENERALSN THE PRESENCE OF - - • - CHOtittAh, Barcariar The attendance of civilians at camp to-day was ,rl ,,, stsses ,.. A. early as 9 o'clock splendid equipages randeal the roads from the Windsor and Chertsey station., had A while cavalcade of ladies and gentlemen were to be a r husg along fur the immediate locale of the encamp. malt. The general anticipation was that. the Queen and her gala! Caa,ort wool be present, and that the interest ores baud thereby would be considerably augmented by the eatend.uvi et several Fid etch generals of eminence deputed at I:emperor of the French to w itne s s the evolutions of h' trjo r. So far, however, as the general expectation of the Mune, of her Majesty and his Royal Highness ?rine Albert was concerned, it was doomed to dim,- rawest. At ll o'clock precisely a visible stir at he d quarters gave lat.rnitton of something about to be essayed, and a single big, sound from Lord Seaton's position, re.echotd fr,dn isailtian positiou . , brought till the infantry into line within a /word of five minutes. The same signal summoned the ess s:ry to saddle; and aluarsat simultaneously the whole s oy were ready fur action in light marching order. No gout 11.41 the troops been turned out, and the infantry hnited into line and the cavalry into squadrons, than a i a mb of trumpeu announced t h e a pp r oach of L ord date ad the two canceled Irt.nch generals, Count Monte ber,o and Vim:want Ital. His lordship, who was in the full eel ell Command,r-in•Chief of the British Army, was inland on a white charger, and the two distil'. m ,!, d gent tali of the French empire were also in the uniform of general efflcers, superbly mounted, sad attends.l by their sides-de-camp. The public ex iseetataia of the day's operations was running up** a such fitr V i raisia M Ater ; but a movement on the part of the mole!, led by the Carabineers, too plainly indicated that the tiAl of battle was to be in closer proximity to the sop. A series of interesting manceuvres having been ekil fay effected Lord llardinge, Lord Seaton, the Duke of Cs:standee, t tie Count de Montebello, and Viscount Thal, with a jtaf of commanding officers, took up a position in front of eris artillery camp, when they waited till the whole army Es s i put.

PORTSKOCTPI, JILT 2 Intimation has reached this port to-day to the effect that her Majesty and Prince Albert will review the face fleet at Spithead on Thursday next. Her Majesty is everted to be accompanied by the Prince and Princess 12yal of Prussia, and other royal personages now iu Lon de's. The spectacle will be one of unusual eff.ct : the Beet comprising 9 line-of-battle ships, and 9 heavy frigates and ether resole. Three or lone other ships are expected to joie the flat in the course of a few days. This morning the fleet got under weigh, for the purpose of anchoring in line of battle in three divisions. This eve. khan had a beautiful appearance from the shore, and occupied the greater part of the day before it was satisfac torily completed. The following were the final positions taken up by the respective ships, commencing each division horn the westward: Larboard Division.—Dake of Wellington, 131; London, 90; Blenheim, 60; Ajax, 60; Encounter, 14. Centre Division —Sidon, 22; Odin, 16; Leopard, 12 ; Amphin, 34; Banshee, 2; 11ightlyer, 22. Starboard Division.—Prince Regent, 90; Agamemnon, ; Bogue, 60; Nerbudda, 12 ; Edinburgh, 68; Imps. mese, 60. Whilst the fleet were going through the evolution, the Desperate, 8, screw sloop, Captain Chambers, arrived from Woolwich, and subsequently came into harbour to repair defects caused in towing the transports to the Arctic re. gioas with provisions for the discovery ships there. Tits Burnouts,: 6, stoma sloop, Commander Parker, which had accompanied the Desperate in the above service, also this Momuag made her number, as she passed up Channel to the esstward, to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, which had gone out to the back of the Isle of Wight to try a peculiar description of coal, which is nid to be free hem smoke, lc. The Barracouta did not communicate with the shore. The above fleet, with the .exception of the London, Prince Regent, and Nerbudda, are all steamers. The Sidon has sprung her mainmast, and will require a new one. MUSIC. ROYAL ACADEMY of MCSIC. The fourth Academic Concert, for the exhibition ef the students, on Saturday, contained a larger proportion of compositions by the students themselves than any former Mart that we remember. This is satisfactory; for it shows that the course of study punued in the Academy ie solid and useful. To whatever branch of the profession the student may afterwards turn, he will himself in it without • sound and comprehensive know ledge of the principles of his art; and this he can acquire rely by the study and practice of composition. It is not for the future composer only that such study and practice are amesaary—they are requisite also to form tie accomplished Hager or instrumental performer. Each part of Saturday's concert commenced with a M.S. evettare. The first, by Mr. Brinley Richards, a late mu llet. who has now attained professional eminence, is called "The Student's Dream ;" and though it reminded us rather he much, in phreseology and cometruction, of the manner SI Mendelsohn, yet it is a oospesition of much merit. The second, by Mr. W. G. Cosine, one of the present stu died+, gave us still greater pleasure, from its free and flow freg melodies, symmetry of form, and Nasky emahine bsas of instruments. We have already had sneak. to Ipeak favourably of this pounds' young artist, and an Neriseed that this overture is the read nesessfal elket he has yet geode. Among the new vocal Imposition we were especially pleased with • potty " Chorus of Nymphs," by Miss Charlotte bye, an associate of the academy, and • part -song, "Over hW and dale," by B. Gilbert, a former student. This last was loudly encored. A sacred Italian trio, with ohms% "Sao elan la deb] manta," by Mr. Lovell Phillips, • gem- Wmu eminent in his profession, is entitled to speelal once. It was nicely sung by Mies Bertha Street, Miss Freemen, and Mr. Blake (the most advanced veal samleats), mesa bed a wry charm., effect. A sieves song, " Bobs, when dwells. thou I" pleased very meek, net only from Go aegis, of Mir Marie, but from the fine Mae and met easentien wish which the elasiset oblirsto aosonspa limas was played by Mr. F. Godfrey, rtes noes of Mr Bsdhey, the master of the bead of th e Coldstream Guards,. There wen several ezaellent instrumental performers. The lan movement ot Hammen boasted pianoforte Cando is A flat was played by Miss Charlotte Fes, a Mpg of Mn. Asclenes, who did horn: both to her instruc ts.m wad herself. Mir Fox has already asquired Imam eked, • full tame, and considerable neentin power. Her" phrasing" (to use • technical word) was nand and graceful, and her whole performance betokened intoßi geeee and feeling. Mr. Arthur O'Leary, is playing • sonneant of Sebastian Beeh's Concerto in B flat, approved Ifinsalf &worthy pupil of an admirable teacher—Mr. Stern dale Bennett. In listening to this fine composition we Wald sot but be struck with the influence of the great old master ever as most modern school of the pianoforte. There is no truly great pianist, even of oar own day, who has not "given his days sad his eights" to the volumes of Bach. The Harp was wall represented ea this occasion by Mr. Cheshire, who played the Andean led Rondo in E flat of Parish /dears, the grossest water who has ever written for that instrument. The lest men. ant of this superb concerto was played, we remember, at a maim academy concert of this season, with great ewe ass, by Miss Vining, a pupil of Mr. Bakir Chattiness ; Sad Mr. Cheshire, who is also a pupil of the same able pro fel•nr, was not less successful in his performance of the remainder of the piece. Lastly, Mr. Clementi, a young violinist, did himself much honour by his brilliant execs- Lou of • concerto of Kalliwoda ; the playing, indeed, was better than the music, many parts of which are trivial and Masson. Such were the principal features of a concert of mot than usual interest. The concerts of the Academy have been very numerously attended this season ; and on this Commie's the room was literally overflowing. Frmarri. SUICIDE.—Mr. Frederick Cope, jun. the only son of Mr. Frederick Cope, of Oak Bank, Chorl ton-eumHardy, near Manchester, of the fi rm of R. and F. Cope, of Exchange-street, committed suicide by shooting under the moat lamentable circumstance., on Inday evening. On Wednesday the eldest sister of the deceased gentleman, Miss B. A. Cope, was reamed to Mr. Josiah hunt, of London, at the Cathedral, and amongst the guests invited to the ceremony was a young lady to whom the unfortunate gentleman was engaged. On Wednesday he was in excellent spirits, but surer that time he had been observiss to be very melancholy, in consequence of his fancying that he perceived a lack of affection on the part of the lady, although he was assured he was tuistaken. Aleut six o'clock he went up into kis bedroom, and shortly afterwards shot himself through the heart with a gun. Mr. Partington, surgeon, who had not left the house more than three minutes, was immediately sent for, but on L. return he found the unfortunate gentleman quite dead. •-•Vanciossier Cuarter.

Cunningham, Edwin Hough, In., and Alex. Anderson, Esq. The Logo blaeon, in opening the proceedings, said that his object in calling the gentlemen present together was to give some lasting effect to the geed beginning which had been made at the conversaxione. lie was desirous that their festive meeting, however pleasant in itself, should not pass away as an empty pageant, out that from the comma nity of sentiment and interchange of opinion which that meeting had promoted, some lasting good should arise for those classes in whose welfare and advancement they were all deeply interested. (Cheers.) The Board of Trade was fully alive to the necessity of infusing some true principles in art and science into the minds of our animas, and deeply convinced that without more mental cultivation, ear workmen, now so famous, must ultimately be passed in the great industrial race which was going on all over the civilised world. (Hear, hear.> The board had, in their anxiety to promote the advancement of science and art, given 6001. to Manchester, 4001. to Dublin, and I UMS to different towns, but had found that such aids bad only led to all sorts of jealousy and scrambling, and that the real and original purpose of the gift had been too often lost eight of. To counteract such feelings, he (the Lord Mayor) bad adopted the never felling English expedient of leaking them all to dinner, and had been quite successful, as they had all gone away happy and contented. (Cheers and laughter.) It had also a:ruck him that by calling the gen tleman he had the honour of addressing together in con ference, means might be adopted for establish ing departments for elementary teaching in art and science in their various schools, and that also in our metropolitan charity schools, with many of which he was connected, much might be done in im proving and expanding the system of education pursued. On Thursday evening he had bad the honour of receiving the representatives of 800 school., and he had a confident hope that with so much able assistance much might begone towards forwarding their important object. Now, there were four points to which he wished especially to nirect the attention of the meeting. The first was to ',certain from the science and art department of the Board of Trade what was the nature and what the amount of aid the varioue schools might expect. The second was, that they should know that various diagrams, boxes of colours, and scientific instruments bad been prepared under the inspection of Mr. Redgrsve, and were available for school purposes at half the cost pries. The third was, that where art educa tion was desired in rchools, the Board of Trade was prepared to send trained masters at an exceedingly moderate figure; and the fourth was, that pecuniary aid from government was to be consideted the exceptional MO, and only applicable to districts where, from poverty, there was a difficulty in getting the school together. Having made these observations, he hoped that the gen tlemen present would favour bum with their opinions, and that the result of their meeting would be the formation pia committee, far which he would willingly give • nom in the Mansion-house, and provide a clerk to carry on their busi ness and correspondence. (Cheers.) He knew that in making this request, he was applying to gentlemen, many of whom had their bands full of business, but he remem bered the amine of a detected friend, "If you wart any. thing of importance done, go to a man whose every moment is employed, as if he does it at all he must do it at once ; whereas if you go to the man who has nothing to do, he will pat it off from day to day, so that in the end you may not get it done at all . ' (Cheers and laughter.) His lord ship concluded by calling on Dr. Playfair to explain the intention' of the science and art department of the Board of Trade._ - - Dr. L. PLAITAIllsaid the meeting was no doubt aware that government had established a science and art depart. ment at the Board of Trade, for the ,purpose of diffusing a more general knowledge of both among the people than found to exist at present. Science had long since been generally introduced into the schools on the continent, hut in England as yet was of but limited application. The Board of Trade, in establishing this new department, did not expect that elementary schools would atone create a crop of philosophers, but they thought that a taste for science might be infused into the children, and that then, the oesendary institutions throughout the country (mecha nism sad literary) would be stimulated into activity and mealier, and serve to complete what the elementary schools bad begun. Those institutions were now laugniale nit bum, they had been established before their tine. siMpewegoosed a population already imbued with a taste IR 1111.0 ; but, if the proper taste were ones created in MO othoundary schools, these secondary institutions would 11011111 lummais mid and important. (Hear, hearjziz . limed dooterproceeded to dwell on the value of tie. as a aid to science, and on the importance of physissl geography distinguished from that geography which only taught the arti fi cial boundaries of nations, which too often were marked out in the blood of the people.

(Cheers.) There was one point to which be with to make a passing allusion. Much stress had bean NI ea the propriety of repudiating government aid, but he laseglit they should not as yet commit themselves on that salient. Seeing that 16 millions were spent annually on the army and navy, and only 200,00 W. on education, it could not be said that the people leant too hardly on the government in the matter of learning. (Hear, hear.) However, he wished to see the self-supporting system car ried out as much as possible, and thought that much might be done in that way in our metropolitan charity schools. He approved of all tho plans of the Board of Trade, and begat that they would receive general diffusion and co if emation. (Cheers.) Dr. Russets. (Head Master of the Charterhouse) se- ended the resolution, stating that ho had adopted the drawings and diagrams of the board at the great Educa tional Institution at Norwood. With reference to an ob servation which had fallen from Mr. Gurney, he hoped that as sa old Oxford man, and one who, for the last fiveand =peen, had been employed in teething the much Latin and Greek, he might he allowed to say • few Mei On behalf of the universities. (Hear, hear.) He lima In to remind Mr. Gurney that Latin and Greek were the feeds of much of our modern English, and that if a body of mss were not educated and brought up with the knowledge asomary to keep these sources of our language pare, our noble English tongue would soon, in the hurry and excitement of commerce, run away into a dialect at once barbarous and irregular, to the speakers of which our great literary works would be incomprehensible. (Loud cheers.) Another point to which he would direct Mr. Gurney's attention was, that • knowledge of Greek was essential to a knowledge of what Christians ought to believe and he was sure that if such knowledge were more general many differences of opinion would soon disappear. (Cheers.) Rev. Mr. CVNNINOHAM, Vicar of Harrow, also defended the universities, and reminded the meeting that but for the much despised Greek they would have known nothing of Euclid, and that their physicians were daily deriving know ledge from the Latin writers. The meeting would be glad to hear, however, that the necessity of a more extended system of education was forcing itself upon the con ductors of public schools, and that mathematical teaching THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1853 sad modem langusgeit west areaskigplemally introduced. Math was being done in this way at Barrow, where three neathema.ical teachers now found employment instead of ow, as formerly. The modern language+ were now also gamerally taught, es a proof of which he might mention that ea the occasion of a recent royal visit, one of tits boys dell need an address in 'scaliest German to his Royal High ness Prince Albert. (Cheers.) There was great difficulty. however, in getting the English boys to submit to the fo reign teachers, but he hoped that with time and persc ve- Dance all these diffieulths would disappear. He, himself, was most anxious that the scope of education should be ex tended, and had been recently much impressed with °beer seams made by the two highest personsges in the realm on the subject. One of thine distinguished personages had ex pressed his sease of the value of our public schools, in form ing that type character, an English gi gateman, but added 1, desire that the modern languages, and a more extended ac quaintance with science, might be inculcated. (Hear, hear.) Another personage, still more illustrious, whose name he felt a diffidence in even alluding to, had honoured him, on the same occasion, by observing that, having often the meet distinguished persons in the realm at hie table, along with equally distinguished foreigners, it was absolutely mortify lag to find that the former were not able to open thole mouths is conveisation during the whole evening. (Hear, bear, and cheers.) It waste be hoped, then, that such being the opinions of the first personages in the realm, the long standing complaints against our educational institutions would soon become matters of history. (Hear, hear.) He bad great pleasure in supporting the resolution. Mr. B. 11. GURNEY moved the second resolutior, calling on the science and art department to furnish a clear defini tion of their plans and intentions. He said he considered the present attempt et the Board of Trade an important step in the right direction. (Hear, hear.) He remembered a strong prejudice to exist in the middle classes to the educa tion of the poor ; but that was rapidly dying away, and now all classes were willing to assist in promoting the spread of knowledge. Rev. F. BLOOMFIELD seconded the revolution, and dwelt at some length on the imeortanee of education in com mercial communities, and the desire of mechanics gene rally to obt tin it. ?dr. FOSTER, who said he had devoted much time to the education of the labouring classes, bore testimony to the value of sonic knowledge of drawing to every working man. Ile wished also that some slight knowledge of botany "mid be communicated to labouring men. (Hoer, hear ) Kr. WATSON moved the tormaFieet or i emetimitteeto collect Node, &e. _ _ _ _, Mr. linnagrr seconded the resolution. After which thanks mere voted to the Lord Mayor and the proceedings terminated. NATIONAL ORPHAN HOME, HAM-COMMON. The first festival of this charity was held on Sa turday evening, at the Star and Outer, Richmond. Tke institution was culled into existence to meet the great need for such nn institution which had been occasioned by the ravages of cholera in 1849, for the existing orphan asylums had soon become full, or had been unable, from other cir cumstances, to make special provision for these cues of distress. The festival on Saturday was exceedingly well attended, for Lord John Russell had been announced to preside. In consequence, however, of his reccirinv the royal commands to attend at the palace, the company were disappointed of the noble lord's presence. Mr. Charles Cowan, the wen ber for Edinburgh, like another Curtius, consent. d to throw himself into the gap, and, at the close of the even ing, the hon. secretary was enabled to announce a liberal subscription. OWEN'S COLLEGE, MAXCIIESTER.-DIS IRI- 1117710. k OF PRIZES. The distribution of prizes to the students of this college for the session of 1862.3, took placu on Friday, in the Common•ball of the institution. The trustees present were Mr. Samuel Fletcher (who presided), Mr. Alderman Watkins, and Mr. George Felkner. Mr. J. F. Foster was prevented from attending by engagements in London. Amongst the gentlemen connected with the institution who attended were Professor Scott, the principal; Mr. Sande man, the Professor of Mathematics; Mr. Greenwood, Pro fessor of the Language and Literature of Greece and Rome ; Dr. Fr►nkland, Professor of Chemistry ; and Mr. William son, Professor of Natural History. Mr. SCOTT, the principal of the institution, read a report, which stated that in this new institution the total number of students last session was 62; for this session it has been 99; in the ordinary classes, 71; in the schoolmasters' class, 28. In the several classes: Comparative grammar and structure of the English language, 14 ; English literature, 14 ; logic—mental and moral philosophy, 9 ; languages end literature of Greece and home—senior, 17; extra senior, 4; junior, 20.

French language, senior, 9 ; junior, 4. German language, senior, 7; junior 8. Schoolmas ters' class, 28. All who take an interest in the college will rejoice with us in the intimation that by liberal well wishers two scholarships have been founded here, and will be competed for next session ; one of them on the aunt versary of her Mrjesty's visit to Manchester, to be called the Victoria scholarship, in classics; the other in New Testament biblical criticism, called the Wellington scholar ship. Particulars regarding these will be found in the prospectus for next session. Not least among the pros perous events of this session Lis one which will connect the name of Owen's College with the illustrious memory of John Dalton. At the meeting which determined on a public monument to that great chemical thinker, it was resolved to appropriate to scholarship, in chemistry and mathematics here, a considerable , portion of the subscrip tions. Although arrangements for carrying this resolution into effect are not yet completed, we may be forgiven for now congratulating ourselves on the purpose. The prises were then distributed by the chairman, u. stated by the professors in their ItlplfaiTO departments. Mr. Mucklow, who obtained the first pries and certificate in chemistry, received a flattering oestpliment from Dr. Frankland, who observed that he bad distinguished him self during the whole of the make by his meal in the °per. &trona of tho laboratory, and a einem lee Ise the science he was cultivating, which was net amp_ easy to excite in students in such an utilitarian dibbles lfismanter. Forty-one of the studentscarried of ;dos, and amongst them were the following:— J. A. Peden, first prise in the classics; John D. Mucklow, first piles la chemistry; Jo seph Henry Barr, first prize in natural history; Edward Van Cutlem first prize in mental sad moral philosophy ; and Percy Wm. Bunting, first pales k mathematics and natural philosophy. The proceedings cassiwiel with ma address from Pro fessor Scott, and a lsw sbeeeratises Seem the chairman, in which he espouse the siellpsdess Mt by the trustees for the exertion of the poetesses. sad their satisfaction at the gentlemaW da seldnet which had been uniformly displayed by the st TEE NEW BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES FOR LAMBETH.

Mandalay, Baker, Myers, Peto, Orient', Haward, Nixon , and others. The possession of good swimming baths is an advantage not usually en joyed by the frequentenof baths and wash-houses, and will doubtless tend much to the popularity of the Lambeth in stitution. Another excellent and thoughtful feature pecu liar to it is the establishment of an infant school in connec tion with the laundries, where children will be taken care of during the time the mothers are occupied in the wash houses; it having been found that the disinclination of the parents to leave young children at home unattsded has often prevented the poorer class' fres availing themselves of the facilities Abided by institutions like the present. The peculiar adaptation of the situation has enabled this public improvement to be carried out at a oat which, it is expected, will, considering the advantages attained, be much below that of any similar establishment. TEE HARROW ANNIVERSARY DINNER.—Lord Palmerston presided on Saturday at the Thatched House Tavern, at the Harrow Anniversary Dinner, which wee most numerously attended by noblemen and gentlemen Quested at Harrow. FIRE AND 81111 WRECK.—Letters brought by the Melbourne and other mail steamer., announce the loss of three English ships, two by fire, and the other, from Ade laide, on a reef of rocks some hundred miles westward of the Cape of Good Hope. The latter was attended with lamentably fatal results. The vessel was the Barbara Gordon, belonging to Swansea, bound to London, with a cargo, consisting of 181 bales of wool, 100 tons of copper, and other articles. She had on board the fullowinp passen gers ;—Mr. and Mrs. Radish, and son, of Liverpool ; Mrs. Hay, belonging to Yorkshire ; and Mr.. Dalton, of Wan.- worth. On the night of the 6th of April last she got upon • reef near Cape St. Agulhas, arising, it was °resumed, from a strong current carrying her ashore. Her boats were car ried away the same night, by seas which swept the decks. Some ten hours afterwards the Captain, finding the weather was moderating, had a raft formed, in order to reach the shore. In the first attempt, the mate and four of the crew succeeded in, gaining the land. On the second, however, when the passengers got on it the heavy sea cap sized it, and the whole of them perished, in view of the master and remainder of the crew, who were unable to render them the least possible aid. In the course of the succeeding day the vessel became • total wreck. She was fully insured. The other ships were the Alciope, Captain Lewis, master, in the Hist India trade, bound to Liverpool, and the Gondar. The former was from Calcutta, and when in lat. 11 N., long. 88 E., she was struck by lightning, which set fire to the cargo, and became quickly in flames. The crew escaped by means of the boats, which were picked up by the brig Geneva. The destruction of the Gondar took place at Charlestown, on the 18th of last month, while she was loading. She had on board at the time 1,800 bales of cotton, and 373 bomb •f resin. The crew all escaped. COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT OLDHAM. SEVENTEEN LIVES LOST. • - A dreadful explosion of fire damp occurred on Friday afternoon at • coal mine in Oldham, belonging to fI Mr. Butterworth, called the Bent Grange Colliery, by which 17 lien have been sacrificed. It will probably be recollected by many of the readers of the Ezras that we gave an account of en explosion in this same mice in October, 18.10, by . which 16 lives were sacrificed. Tara Bent Grange Colliery is situate in that part of Oldham known as Nur:h Moor. Up to the time of the explosion in October, 1850, it only consisted of one shaft, which served both for ventilation and the draught of coal, but since then a second has been sunk within tin yards of the other, as a venti lating shaft wale., the original shaft be ing used for raising the coal, and as the &ion-cast for air. The bed of coal, called the Riley Mine coal, is at a depth of 222 yards, and ventilation is promoted by a steam jet inserted into the downcast shah. The dip of Via coal is, we under stand, about 1 in 6, and the means of ventilation are the natural passages of air along the coupe a cut for it on the blunt, regulated by stoppages at proper places, and next an increased draught up the up -cast, caused by the jet of steam; and these means, so far as a e caa learn, were in foil operation when the explosion took place. The nutniwe of persons working in the mine was 61 at the time of the occurrence, of whom 42 were colliers and 19 waggoners. They had been at work from before six in the morning, and at half past four o'clock they would have left work for the day. No anal weak in the pit at night, except the labourers, who aro employeal in repairing the roads, and performing other duties necessary for the free progress of the colliers when they assemble in the morning. All pro ended fairly during the day, except that there was a slight delay for want of tubs nr eome.hing of the kind, a little after noon, and this will to some extent account for the small number of burnt:is kilted, for they had many of them left the places where tl.e coal was heing got. and were either on their road to the upcast shaft, or had gut there when the explosion occurred; and colliers were mostly in their "boles," and were exposed either to the actual blast, or to thee qually fatal effects of the choke damp, to which, anthill, most of them seem to have fallen victims. The underlooker of the mine, whose name is Robinson, nye he was on the " pit-brow " when the explosion tuck piece. Ile heard a loud report, and at first thought the boiler which works the engine connected with the colliery was blown out of its place. Shortly afterwards, however, he observed sparks and dust come up to the top of the downcast shaft, and at once concluded that an explosion had taken place. Directly afterwards be heard the bell ring from the bottom of the pit, and a cage of coal, which ass attached to the rope, was wound up. The cage was then let down again, and the men who had escaped were brought up, by thirteen or fourteen at a time. Those brought up were chiefly boys and young men, who had been working about the shaft and in the roads. Robinson, accompanied by William and J. Butterworth' and E. Davies, then went down the pit, but before they did so, their employer, who resides at Hsgate, Royton, was sent tor. On getting to the bottom of the pit, after Robin son had proceeded about 140 yards from the shaft, he found a waggoner named Nathaniel Gall, lying upon his back, badly burned, with a waggon on the top of him, but the man was not dead. After he had forwarded Oil to the shaft of the pit, he went forward 300 yards, and found Samuel Butterworth, of Roytonstreet, collier; and, after handing him over to assistants, thinking he heard groans from another man, he still prosecuted his search, and found Richard Crookson, who was lying about ten yards from the place where Butterworth had been found. On going still higher up, he found John Butterworth, of Edge-lane ' an old man, who was nearly exhausted, and whose life would doubtless have been lost had he not been found and con veyed out of the pit. In the course of his progress he passed over numerous dead bodice, but left them to assist the living, so long as there was the hope of finding any without risking too much the lives of his assistants, who, like himself, became much exhausted by . the stifling sulphur which always succeeds these explos ions. After this, the nun who had lost their lives by the sad accident were wound up to the top of the shaft, but the whole of the bodies were not recovered until about half-past 11 o'clock. On examining the pit, he found the stoppiegs were blown down very much, about two hundred yards from the shaft in a down-brow level, about 30 yards out of the main level, and from the evident marks of fire he discovered there, and observing that the body of Whew Wild, which was lying there, had every iota of clothing burned off him, he concluded that it was in this locality the explosion took place. He was only enabled to identify Wild by a gathering which he had on his heel, and which he had lent him • pin to prick. Oa Thursday some men were employed in mending the roads in this particular part of the pit, and he (Robinson) had warned William Jones, John Williamson, and a wag goner named Wild, who would have to work there the ' next morning, not to go into that place without the greatest care, as the sheet which directed the current of air had been down nearly the whole of the night. Jones and William son, singularly enough, escaped with their lives, although they were only about forty yards from the plain where the explosion is supposed to have taken plan, as the current of firedamp took the contrary direction to that in which they were standing. The air in the mine has generally been considered good, and the colliers often worked with their lamp tops off. A collier who escaped, states that at the time of the explosion he was working in a " place " about 600 yard' from the mouth of the pit, and along with him ware Emanuel Tomlinson, Jas. Orindwood, Sam.Chougb, Thos. Meadow croft and Joseph Williamson, and in the nest elan to them a man named Richard Lane was working. As soon as they I heard the report occasioned by the explosion they a ll I started to make the best of their way to the mouth of the pit. They were nearly suffocated in their passage, and had to pass over several bodies, and on getting to the shaft they gave the signal, and were all wound up. About six or eight yards from where they had been employed two drawers, aged 15 and 13 respectively, named Brierley and Samuel Wild, were working ; but, having been overcome, had fallen down, and were shortly afterwards rescued by an elder brother, named Abraham, who had been employed near to the shaft. There was no air stirring much that morning. They had • good main roof, and he only knew of one fault in the pit. He had had his own lamp top off that morning, but he had seen others with their lamp tops off. The overlooker aamethuss censured them for so doing ' • sometimes he did not, and sometimes he pulled his own off. Sergeant Parker, of the Oldham police, made provision for medical aid by calling in the assistance as tasty as possible of four surgeons. The following are the names of the person who were taken oat of the pit dead, and who have died since : William Fitton, aged 35, collier, Edge-lane ; left a wife and five children. .. ...-. ......---. Robert Mellor, aged 60, collier, Royton; wife, and two children. _ _ -- - --- - -- - - --- --- Robert Heaton, aged 34, collier, badly burned, Middle ton ; left a wife and three children.

George Whittaker, collier, single men, aged 21. Samuel Ogdea, collier, Higgicshaw, left a wife and the Luke Brierly, aged 18. Nathaniel Gill, 30, keying a widow and one child. The two last colliers were taken out alive, but died on Saturday morning. Besides these, nearly 20 colliers are more or less injured. Amongst the more serious cues are those of Robert Mellor, Joseph Rallsworth, Edward Butterworth, Samuel Wild, and Richard Crookson. It was about 11 o'clock at night before the whole of the bodies were taken out, from which it will be seen that the air righted itself sooner than is often the cue. On Saturday the ventilation was again in such good order that it was said a stranger would not hem supposed any thing to have been wrong. It is mid Wild had been cau tioned before the accident, but was seen approaching the plies where the explosion occurred with an uncovered lamp in his waggon shortly before the event took place. Au inquest was opened on Saturday, but only for the identification of the bodies. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.—We regret to re . cord two more accidents of a fatal character in coal mines. The more serious one was that which took place on Friday from an explosion of fire damp at th e Bowling company's work., Toftsbaw Bottoms, near Bradford. It appears that a number of men were at work as usual when some of them going into a part of the pit where there was a quantity of foul air, an explosion took place, attended with all its fear ful mosequences. On searching the pit the bodies of two boys coned respectively William Lee and Thomas °snide muse Mad dead, the one from having been so seriously dishes and burnt, and the other from exhaustion and suffocation. Three men who were working in that part of the pit where the explosion occurred were also seri ously injured, but under skilful medical treatment they are progressing favourably. Another casualty occurred at the I Park Pits, Worsbrough, within a abort time of that which took plus at Blamer on Thursday in this week. The de ceased, whom name is George Earrsbaw, was working in the pit as usual, when a quantity of coal fell upon him, and killed him on the spot. • MILFORD HAVEN FORTIFICATIONS.—The fort at the western extremity of the dockyard tsar undergone extensive alterations and repairs, preparatory to the mounting it with much heavier artillery than formerly. The embrasures have been widened in order to allow 32-pounders to be placed there in lieu of the old 21-pounders, many of which guns a short time ago were found to be utterly unfit for service. All these guns will be fitted with new traversing carriages, and at the angles 63-pounders are to be placed. The other fortifications in the haven are being proceeded with. Thorn Island, at the mouth, is being fortified under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Victor, lt.E., and, when completed, will be garrisoned with a company of artillery. A heavy battery is also to he erected at Dale Point, on the northern shore of the entrance, which will cross its fire with the other defences at the entrance. All the heavy artillery will be mounted on traversing carriages. IRELAND. Drzuw, JULY 2. THE CLARE ELECTION. The liberals of Clare have had a signal triumph— ' a triumph not the less to be prized for having been in some measure unexpected; for it must be confessed that the apathy evinced by the people up to the very eve of the election, and the number of split votes which it was feared that landlord intimidation would obtain fur the town candidate, offered but too much mason to anticipate a different result. The friends of Colonel Vandeleur surpassed all their former efforts in their canvass on this occasion, and the energy with which they laboured was exhibited in 1 the majority which they obtained, for their candi date the first day; but the popular electors isere aroused by those very exertions to a sense of their own duty, and they have certainly done their county ' honour by the lesson which they have given both to tory landlords and liberal electors over all Ireland. I take the following account of the final close of the poll last evening from tho correspondence of the Freeman : At nine o'clock this evening the final returns were re ceived from the polling districts, and nothing could well elect d the frantic joy of the people when the anticipations of victory were confirmed. The following is the gran pull: Fi-reerald 1,350 O'Brien 1,374 Vandeleur Majuri:y for O'Brien over Vendeleur 77 7.1 uority for Fitzgerald over Vandeleur 63 The mtsiority for O'Brien at the last election was hut two, and the result of the present is a practical answer toColoael Vandeleur's charges of priestly interference and intimida tion. The people were addressed from the platform by the Rev. Mr. Lynch, Rev. Mr. Quade, Sir John Fitzgerald, Mr. Carey, and other friends of the popular interest. At the hour I despatch the messenger (eleven o'clock), the excite ment and enthusiasm continued unabated. The hill tops' throughout the country are lighted up in rejoicings. The following account, from the same source, of some of the proceedings which characterised the election, may surprise English readers who entertain old constitutional notions about freedom of election : ENNIO, }allay EVIINIXII—This morning rather strange spectacle presented itself to those who have been ac customed to something in the shape of the constitutional privilege of freedom of election. At an early hour a cordon of police was drawn across the passages leading to the court house—some at a distance from the polling place of nearly a quarter of a mile—beyond which the populace were not allowed to pass; and even those whose business impera tively demanded an attendance at the court-house had to use persuasion, and in many cases threats, before permitted to pass the boundary. The restriction, however, extended only to those who were recognised as friends and support° , s of the liberal candidates, all others were allowed to pass freely. Remonstrances against the course adopted by the authorities wen made without effect, aad formal protests were handed to the High Sheriff, who said that he acted on the requisition of a number of magistrates; but in the course of the day the rigour of the military cordon was re laxed, and the people were allowed pretty freely to approach the polling booths, and with what result has just been seen. An adherent of colonel Vandeleur, while riding away from Six-mile-bridge, on Thu rsday evening, was hooted, and it appears pelted with mud, by some boys and women outside the village, when he unfor tunately fired a pistol among the group, and shot a boy in the mouth, breaking hie jaw bone, and inflict ing such a wound as is expected to prove fatal. This occurrence, in such a place, was unfortunate for the tory party, as it served to exasperate the peasantry the more effectually against them. SLIGO. The contest in Sligo will be a desperate one; and in such a neck and neck race as in all probability it will prove to be, it is impossible to speak with any certainty beforehand of the result. It is still uncertain whether Mr. Lalor will per severe in his opposition to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, in Tralee. That Mr. T. Fitzgerald will do so is pro-. bable enough, but he will scarcely find more than his proposer and seconder to support him. On the whole, Mr. O'Connell's return is regarded as certain UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. OXFORD, JULY 2.—TILE LADY MARGARET PRO- Fuson or DIVINITY.—A meeting of the graduates in divi nity was held this morning iu the Convocation House, pur suant to notice, for the purpose of electing a fit and proper person to the office of Lady Mi.rgaret Professor of Divinity, with a canonry of Christ Church annexed, in the room of the Leto Rev. Dr. Faussett, who had held the professorship nearly thirty yens. The numbers at the cline of the poll were u follows, for— Mr. Heurtley 53 Mr. Woodgate Mr. Hassell Mr. Foultes _ . _ 141 voters (out of 'kola 320) recorded their votes. AI PourflitENT.—The Lord Chancellor has pre sented the Be,. Peter A. L. Wood to the living of Stant field, near Clare, in the County of Suffolk. The Lord Chancellor has also appointed the Rev. John Blackburn to the living of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. NAVAL. PORTSMOUTH, JULY I.—A court martial was held to-day on board the Victory, flagship, to try Mr. John It. Richards, second master on board the Arrogant, 46, screw frigate, Captain Fremantle, on the charge of having, on the 25th of June, attempted to escape from arrest on board the Arrogant's bulk, the Camperdown. Rear-Admiral Corry presided; and the members of it were—Captains Cbads, H. B. Martin, Gain, Sir T. Maitland, E. H, Scott, Hen derson, Ramsey, J. Shepherd, Goldsmith, Watson, Hutton, and Giffard, and Mr. G. L. Greetham, deputy judge advo cate of the fleet. Captain Fremantle prosecuted. It ap pears that prisoner was under arrest at the time for the purpose of receiving a reprimand for intoxication, when he got out of one of the lower deck port-holes into a waterman's boat lying alongside the hulk; but being observed, he was ordered by the officer on duty, Mr. Howell, a midshipman, to return to the ship. This he did, and he was then taken before the esptain,who ordered him to be placed under close arrest. Whilst he was under the arrest of the master at arms he escaped from hlm, and made another effort to recaps by jumping over board. In this, however, he was also defeated. Several witnesses having been examined, the prisoner in his defence said that his object in getting into the boat was to pick up something he bad dropped into it from the port-hole, and that he did so with the assent of the sentry, and immedi ately returned on board without being ordered to do so. With regard to the jumping overboard he attributed it to excitement. The captain had told him be would try him by court martial, and then placed him under close arrest, disallowing all communication with him and all lights. This had greatly excited him, and caused him to jump over bard. The court found the ease fully proved, and ad judged him to be dismissed her Majesty's service. The Cyclops, steam sloop, arrived at this port to day from Woolwich, with a portion of the machinery of the Princess Royal, 90, just launched at this port. The Fire Queen, steam vessel, went out of harbour this afternoon with some foreigners of distinction, who went on board the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw ship, Captain H. B. Martin. The Nerbudda, 12, Commander Boyd, is ordered to remain at Spithead until further orders. The Victoria and Albert, royal yacht, proceeds on a cruise down Channel to-morrow to try a new description of coal. ESCAPE OF TWO CONVICTS FROM THE ROUSE OF CORRECTION. Soon after one o'clock on Saturday afternoon great commotion existed in the vicinity of the House of Correction, Coldbath-square, in consequence of the escape of two prisoners, by scaling the prison walls. The spot se lected was the west side of the prison, and the prisoners were seen descending on the outside by means of a rope. They were not interfered with by passengers who saw them, and when they reached the ground they walked delibe. rately away in different directions. Oa information being conveyed to Captain Chesterton, the governor, he ordered the warders to be despached in every direction in pursuit. The prisoners, only being sentenced to twelve months' impri sonment, were not under such strict surveillance as others sentenced to a longer period, and being bricklayers, they were employed at work about the building. It appeared on examination that they had con trived to put together several ladders, which they had found under the wheel of the treadmill, when at work, unobserved, and also • hook attached to a rope which they bad fixed into the wall, and then passed over to the other side On alighting, one of the men passed through Dunham's cow-yard, leading into Gough-street, and on to Gray's Inn-lane, and this one, on golng along Guildford ' street, was observed by a man in the service of Mr. Crick, butcher, of Warner-street, and who, serving the governor, I was acquainted with the prison dress. He told a policeman he saw directly after that, that there was a man going along who had escaped from the prison, but the constable paid no attention to him. It is the intention of the governor to report this man to the Chief Commissioner of Police. Notwithstanding that the news "of the escape was at once circulated to every police station throughout the metropolis, and the telegraphs of the various railways were set to work, up to last night no tidings of the fugitives had been ob tained. A prisoner made his escape at the same spot, about twelve months back, and it is stated that the governor is responsible, in the sum of 1001. for the safe custody of each prisoner. THE ARAEIA.—On Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Arabia, Captain C. H. E. Judkins, sailed from tbo Mersey for New York with the usual mails for the United States and British possessions is North Amerces, about eighty passengers, and a largo and valuable cargo.
