BARNSLEY, FIRMLY Evasive. There is but little to add as yet to the tale of woe previously published. The poor people about here have settled down into an even sorrow, and the touching scenes of grief seen yesterday and the day before in the narrow streets are no more re peated. On every hand one meets with grim evidenoes of the appalling accident of Wednesday. In the 'immediate neighbourhood of the colliery there is scarcely a house that does not, by its drawn blinds, proclaim the unweloome visitor within. Passing knells from country churches come stealing e own from the rugged hills, continually telling of disfigured corpses identified and brought to their homes. The hammering of the coffin-makers is a sound that also smites upon the ear in the outskirts of the town. The trains to-day have brought in numerous visitors, who have proceeded to the colliery to whet their morbid curiosity. At the colliery nothing has been done of impor tance since yesterday. With one exception no attempt has been made to descend into the pit. Indeed the workmen have had quite enough to do to repair the machinery shattered by the explosions yesterday. To-night another attempt will be made, if the mining engineers and colliery proprietors, who have been holding a conference in one of the chief hotels, give their consent. In expectation of this, crowds of persons, chiefly colliers and their families, have been lingering about in the cold and pire no attempts shall be made to enter the pit. U they had given their consent there are numbers of volunteer colliers, although their chances of escape were of the slightest description, who would have stepped into the " imminent deadly breach " to leave no necessary exertion unmade. One man was said to have come from Dukinfleld, near Man chester, to be one of the forlorn hope. Subscription boxes have been posted at the vari ous colliery entrances to-day, with placards affixed inviting the visitor to contribute to the necessities of the destitute. Much will be needed before adequate relief is afforded, and with all the aid that they can expect there are hundreds to whom Christmastide will bring nothing but visions of want and misery. The announcement just made that the Queen has sent 2001. as the nucleus of a relief fund has created much satisfaction, and is ' the general topic of conversation. It is to be hoped an organised fund will be at once este , • Wished, and that subscriptions will flow in in no unstinted stream. STODARE'S THEATRE of MYSTERY, EGYPPIAN-HALL, PICCADILLY.

At the Mansion-house police court there was about 1001. reeAved yesterday, up to the closing of the court, in aid of the general fund for the relief of the survivors of the sufferers and those ot the volunteers who lost their lives in rendering assistance. When sufficient funds have been obtained it is very probable that two or three gentlemen well-known in the City will form them selves into a committee for the purpose of disbursing the money that may be received. It will be recollected that at the time of the Hartley Colliery Explosion, which took place a few years ago, a very large sum of money, more than 70,0001., was subscribed by the public towards the re lief of the families of the sufferers, but not more than 20,000/. of the amount was found to be required, and the balance was funded for the purpose of meeting any similar emergency. It is probable that this balance will, there fore, be brought into use for the purpose of alleviating the dreadful misery occasioned by the two recent sad explo sions. I market toich vim sr* 1,.

She brought a i large number of passengers, amongst whom is the , Bishop of Kingston. She left St. Thomas on the 30th ult. Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of a quarter of a million sterling. There have been nearly 100 cases of yellow fever on board, and 25 deaths ; seven persons are now ill on board, some of whom are dying. The surgeon of the ship, Dr. Hudson, died on the 4th inst. Dr. Axham, a passenger from Honduras, i mme di a tely undertook the surgeon's duties, and moat nobly performed them. Four of the deaths took place before the Tasmanian left St. Thomas, and 21 afterwards. Yellow fever, scarlet fever, smallpox, and cholera prevailed at St. Thomas; yet, singular to say, the thermometer there was only up to 80 ; 14 persons died in the Atrato, 10 in the Seine, four in the Tyne, and 25 in the Tasmanian ; upwt:rds of 50 persons in the whole, a n•unber of whom have left families unprovided for. The deaths on board the Tasmanian are all among the crew. If the Atlantic steamers went on to Jamaica, coaled, tool, in. the Colon and Gulf mails, and stopped there ten days, they would avoid in a great mea . sure that peat-house St. Thomas. The Tasmanian mails were fumigated, and landed here at 6 o'clock. Her specie will be landed to-morrow ; her passen gers will be put on board the Yarns, and remain • for some short time in quarantine.

THE REPORTED LOSE or THE STEAMER SECRET. —The rumour which was so painfully prevalent in Liver- pool for the last few days regarding the loss of the Hull and Hamburg steamer Secret has fortunately proved incor rect. Yesterday Mesas. George Lawson and Co., of Liver pool, officially contradicted the report of the Secret's loss. Although the steamer had been missing for several days her no n-apprazanos was caused by the breaking down of her m achinery, and early yesterday m orning she put back to Hull for repairs. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo • nial-oerra from the Governor of Canada. damp. One man only has been recovered, and his mar vellous escape is one of the many strange incidents that such a catastrophe as this brings in its wake. During the night policemen kept guard around the pit mouth, by the light of numerous blazing watch fires. One of the offioers,about four o'clockthis morn ing,was startled by hearing the bell at the bottom of the pit ring. Hitherto the most intense silence had prevailed, and the man wan not a little startled at the unexpected summons from a place where none but the dead were supposed to be. Shaking off his terror the policeman gave the alarm, and some workmen quickly ran to the spot. They called down the black abyss ; but there was no reply. They then lowered a bottle of brandy, and upon drawing up the cord found that there was nothing at the end of it. Convinced that there was a fellow-creature needing succour, two bystanders descended to the bottom, and their labours were speedily rewarded by success, for they rescued a poor fellow who had been a prisoner amongst the dead for some eight hours. He was very weak and terror-stricken, but not seriously injured. Ho was one of the brave volunteers who were overtaken by the second explosion yesterday, and he alone was left to tell the fate of his com panions. So far as can be gathered from his story, he crept into a recess (a " pick-hole") when he heard the explosion, and the fatal blast passed him by. He was afraid to move until a glimmer of light from above revealed to him the bell-handle, and he then lost no time in using it. He has been attended to by the doctors to-day. His account of the heaps of corpses he stumbled over, the awful silence of the pit, and the general aspect of desolation and destruction, fully bears out all the imaginary horrors that have been indulged in. Fur some unaccountable reason no one leas been permitted to see him to-day. His own (laughter has been refused admission until he has shaken off the effects of the terrible ordeal through which he has passed. Previous to re-ascending the two men saw .several fires below. They shouted, but re ceived no answer. With respect to the cause of the accident and the number of men and lads killed, the public had better defer judgment until something official is known. At present nothing can be elicited from the people about the colliery. Some attribute the original explosion to an exposed Stephenson's lamp, some to a reckless use of gunpowder, some to gaslights used in the main road in the col liery. All are conjectures, and may probably ever remain so.

Thomas sad Up to four o'clock yesterday afternoon the searchers had recovered the corpses of fifty-eight men, and it is believed that there are still over forty in the pit. During the whole of Thursday night the searchers were exploring the workings, and as they came ;to the top of the shaft every half hour or so—for the pit is not yet clear of gas—they announced in lowered tones that they had " found another," and after having recovered from the effects of the gsa would again descend, to proceed with their mournful task. Mr. Thomas Wynne, the govern ment inspector of mines for North Staffordshire, was down the pit the greater part of yesterday. In order to avoid painful moues on the pit bank, the proprietors of the colliery gave directions that no women and children should be allowed to coldest there ; still, one or two widows, the bodies of whose husbands had not bren recovered, contrived to get on the bank amongst the large crowds of persons who had collected there, and as each corpse was brought up would eagerly scan it. If it happened to be that of a husband, a loud wail of agony, or a piercing shriek, would announce the fact, and would cause a nervous tremble to run through the by One very sad fact in connection with this appalling accident is, that the majority of the men whose bodies have been recovered are married. and leave widows and large families. Up to the time our correspondent wrote yesterday there were 1$ bodies not identified. The greater portion of these were so severely burnt that their features were not to be recognised, whilst others, being comparative strafe gers, are known to only a few in the neighbourhood. It is thought that about 200 men went down into the pit yesterday morning, most of whom, as at present aseer• Wiled, were provided with " Davy" lamps. The explo sion occurred at about a quarter-past 11, and was imme diately followed by a belching forth from the mouth of the up-cast shaft of s vast quantity of smoke mingled with flames. The men in the north workings, two or three hundred yards from the south side of the pit, heard, the explosion, and immediately ran to the bottom of the shaft, where they stayed, almost suffocated by the galas it escaped, untilthey were drawn to themouth of the pit. As soon as a descent could be made a party of men, accompanied by Mr. Wynne, went down, and continued their exploration until yesterday, sending to the top fifty eight bodies. Mr. Wynne says that there arc about forty more, who were to be brought up late last night. He has gone through the whole of the workings within about thirty yards. At present it has re,t been ascertained how many more dead bodies there are in the pit, but it is thought that they number, with those already found, about one hundred. The cause of the explosion is yet a mystery. The inquest was opened at the Swan Tavern, Top o' the Hill, yesterday afternoon, before Mr. Harding, the ounnty coroner. Mr. Wynne was also in attendance. In opening the inquiry the coroner said that the jury had been called together to make an investigation into the circumstances attending the deaths of nearly 100 persons. He (the coroner) had been in that district for 37 years, and during that period bad never had to investigate so serious an accident as the present. Isaac Boulton, collier, of Talk, deposed—l work at the North ataffordsbne Colliery, and I knew Nich Fletcher, one of the deceased. He was a doggy at the o pi a t e , and, like myself, he was at work there yesterday. The work went on all right from half-past 5 until 11 o'clock in the morning. I don't know where Fletcher was at that time. At about the hour named Ih. aril an explosion, and was satisfied that something wrong had happened. I and others went off to the seven-foot seam, and came across one inj person, who we brought to the main pit. We then conic out of the pit as soon as we could. By a Juror — l saw t wo boys and a man dead as we passed. Ido not know how many men were in the pit. By the Coroner—l do not know how many yards I was from the place of the explosion at the time. By Mr. Wynne—l am satisfied that the deceased met their deaths by an explosion. a collier, working William Sownan deposed that he was at the North Staffordshire Colliery. I went to work at about 1 1.30 yesterday morning, and whilst at the bank, about a quarter-past eleven, heard an explosion like the bursting of a gun. The air coming up the shaft knocked me down. I knew that it was an explosion of gas. The depth of the shaft was 350 or 350 yule. By Mr. Wynne—l can't say how many me at the time of n there were, but, as far as I can guess, there were Is 4) in the explosion. The inq uest was then adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORK:4. —The weekly meeting of the koala was held yesterday at their offices, in Spring-gardens; Sir J. Thwaitee in the chair. Are port was brought up from the Works an 1 Ged neradeninl Fur popes Committee with respect to the propose wig of Mansion-holm-street , s , an estimated cost of 45,0001., and staang that, in the opinion of the committee, it is not expedient for the board to contribute thereto. Mr. Freeman moved, and Mr. Brooker seconded, the adoption of the report of the committee, winch led to considerable discussion, but was eventually adopted by • large majority. Mr. Collinson, pursuant to notice, moved " That, in con. sequence of the great delay which has taken place in mak ing the purchase and necessary arrangements for providing the Finsbury and Southwark parks, for the use and recrea tion of the public, a spesial committee of fifteen members be a-pointed for the purpose of carrying out the directions of the board in laying out and enclosing the said parks, in order that they be prepared ready for the use of the pub lic in the eying of next year." Mr. Savage seconded the motion, which, however, after a long discussion, was put and lost. After some other business of no public interest the board adjourned.
