This forenoon Mr. Humphrey, the Middlesex mow, held an inquiry at the London Hospital touching the death of Mr. Erneline Cohen, who lost his life in con sequence of an explosion of Chinese fire paper taking place at No. 7, Mitre-square. Aldgate. It will be recollected that on last Tuesday morning three Cameos, cigarette manufacturers, were in an ogee on the second floor of the house No. 7, Mitre-square. One of them, Isaac Julius Heyman. lit a cigarette and then threw the paper which he lit it into a box of Chinese fire PePer. That paper instantly exploded, and the room was died with blue fire. Heyman and another dealer named Giestavus Jarvis were killed upon the spot, and Mr. Cohen rushed to the window, threw it up, and jumped out, and fell upon the stone pavement underneath. A mu named Lewis rushed to his assistance, and removed him in • cab to the hospital. Mrs. Syinons, the landlady of the deceased Cohen, said that Mr. Cohen never stated to her that Chinese paper woe dangerous. Witness caught fire in consequence of the explosion, had she not worn a woollen dress she would have been burnt to death. Mr. John Dawson, surgeon, said that the deceased was much burnt over the legs, arms, and chest. He died from shook to the system, on Friday. It was stated that Chinese fire paper w as common tissue paper steeped in an acid which gave it all the explosive pro perties of gun cotton when it came io contact with ire. It was sold by toy shopkeepers for the pupas* of amusing children by the beautiful Mae light which it gave forth when alight. The cigarette manufacturers bought a quantity of it last week, for the purpose of trading in during the Christmas holidays. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of That the deceased lost bis Ida through the accidental explosion of Chinese fire paper." SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) MERTHYR, 'EuussnaY. Since our last report several of the injured have died, and the list now represents the dead at 34 and the injured at 22. Four hones were also destroyed and considerable damage done to the working. This Is gene rally the ease at these explosions, • pit being sometimes rendered unworkable for • length of time. The explosion occurred in the meters working of the lase foot vela, a fiery measure, which in its development in the neighbouring valley of Aberdare has caused some great disasters from its being so abundantly stored with gas. The explosion took place at &5 in the morning. A collier working in the pit and at some distance from the spot laid that the first idea he had of it was oe feeling a puff against hie faces This showed a derangement of the ventilatios• In another moment another puff more violent came, sad directly after he was overpowered with the stifling sulphur and fell down.

One poor boy reached the lamp-room alive, aL bat there fell down and died. With the majority, bow- in. ever, there was no narrow escape. By the force of the ex. rt.. . plosion six men were badly burnt, and the rest fell sulfa- in. cited. In this portion of the works about 60 men were tt. employed, and the "choke damp" following the explo- at. sin took entire pmeassion of this part, and rendered is- 84 . possible the rescue of the men until the ventilation had et been restored. The manager of the Cyfariltfa Works told St um that thin was almost as difficult as tunnelling, so that two hours passed before the bodies could be ruched. at The pit is connected with Lower Gable, where the ILL fatal explosion occurred in 1862, causing the death of 49 r t : mere Both pits have but one epoist, and the coal in each at is very gaseous, necessitating the rigid use of the safety rt . lamp. In defiance, however, of rules the men win open their U. lamps to light their pipes, sad only last week two men t . were charged before the magistrate with having opened at, their lamps in this Identical pit. These were acquitted. A la correction of the emanation took place on Saturday, and 2,, since then the men have complained of its being dangerous WO to work in the pit. This will be • qustios for the jury. t A stall on the were heading was muted decorous several Is. days ago, and it was here that the greatest force of the 1t explosion is indicated- SS. On examining the bodies, matches and pipes, with bone U. of tobacco were found concealed, though carrying those t . things into the works la a punishable offence. Several of ea. the sufferers also had open lamps in their possession, and Li. one had • could of his look in his pocket. ass It is clear that these things point to most reprehensible S• rashness on the part of the men, and suggest that a bed t condition of the sir having arisen in the pit, they set the 8i torch to the mine by momentary rashness or neglect. st. The inquest woe opened yesterday, end formally ad- St joorned to the 3rd of January. After this the coroner, jury, t and Wales, Saq., the government haspector, proceeded to pt, view the dead. One boy hada line of scorched flesh from his to 84. chin to his navel. It was like the track of a lightning stroke, and he died in great agony. One man was so burst lip about 10 the face that he weld not readily be reeognined, and most to unfortunately he was taken to a house when a poor woman at. on the eve of her unthawed lay in tearless agony awaiting her dead husband. A poor Englishwoman unused to these scenes of death lost her child. She was • widow, sail the __ shock was frightful, causing her to fall into a suoession of r . swoons for hems. Three of the boys in the death list were 20 scholars at the church night school. In many instances to widows have to mourn for husband and son. 1100 METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. 131 (THIS DAY.) 11 --e The ordinary weekly meeting of the membe rs of sto the Board was held this morning, at the O ffi ces, Spring- st. gardens ; Sir JOHN THWARTS in the chair.

This day the adjourned meeting of the Vene zuelan bondholders wee held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of 000aideriog the resolutions proposed by the committee and the propositions promised to be submitted by Senor Guzman. The 'grooms's of Senor Gasman having been read, The CH/LIBMAN said that in substance it was the same proposition as bad been previously made, and which had been contemptuously rejected by them, namely. that instead of the 55 per cent. of the customs of the two Vene zuelan porta hypothecated by the contract for the payment of the dividends, there should be substituted per cent, on the general customs of Venezuela. In form the propoeition was somewhat different, but in substaece it was the same. What he proposed. therefore, was that the resolutions which had been suspended et the last meeting in consequence of the interference of Senor Guzman, and which appeared to have frightened him, should be affirmed. (Hear,lbear.) But it was desirable that a door should be left epee, because though they declared war they need not G 011111181145 1, it till they thought fit. He therefore thought it should be left to the committee to act when they thought it advisable. He recommended them by a formal resolution to say that the bondholders would csoosider say payment on account of dividend on the debt a proof of the honest intentions of the Venezuelan government.
