COLLIERY AcctostuT.-12 is again our painful duty to record another of those dreadiul calamities so com mon in this district. al Thursday last, the 20th inst. about three o'cl 'ck in the afternoon, the Eye Pit at Washingon exploded with tremendous violence. • Tire heavy frame work erected at the pit's mouth, with the ' large pulley wheels *niched to it, were thrown down ; in fact, the whole if the machinery was destroyed; corves and other missiles were projected from the b.it torn of the pit, and scattered iii the surrounding fields. An immense cloud of smoke issued from the shalt, ac companied with a report surpassing that of the largest piece of artillery, which was heard through all the sur rounding villages. The immediate assemblage of per sons inteiesied in the safety of the workmen was great ; wives anxiously looking for their husbands, parents for their children, sisters for their brothers, formed a heart rending spectacle. By this catastrophe. Leven boys and three men have been deprived of lite. There were 15 persons in the seam when the explosion took place, and only one min, Michael H ill, the onsetter, escaped l He is severely burnt. A Coroner's lnquost WAi held on the body ofJohn Halloo Saturday la•i. by MICHAEL HALL. Esq. and a verdict of Accidental D ath was returned. To what cause this melancholy occurrence is t's be at• tributed—what produced the explosion, is uncertain. JUSSUFF PACHA. The circumstances attending the entrance of the Rus sian army into Varna. and the honours rendered to Jussuff Pacha, leave no doubt upon the nature of the facts wbich hastened the capture a f that fortress.. The public, will, no doubt, teed with interest a few details respecting a person to whom history will attach a ques tionable celebrity. Jussuff was born about 1787 at Series, and was the eldest son of the famous Ismail Bey, Ay an of that city. He bore from his infancy the name of Bey, received a confined education, and gave signs earl in lite of strength of imaginati..n rathe , than intelligence. Toe power of his rather mended over ad Macedonia; his kflaence over the a•t tier Aysn., and his services in war e gave him great credit. He obtained from the Porte fir Jussuff, at the age cf 23 years, the govern., ment of Salonica, with the title of AI usselins. The port of Salonica was t'.e depot of immense com merce. It was one of those points at which• the .Eng lish spread their merchanJizes over Europe, in spite of the d. cites of Bonaparte, and from whence the French caravans crossed to Bosnia. In this new world Jussuff knew the French, and ap preciated the arts. Protecting equally the merchants of all nations, he (mind iri"the'effor mous amount of his customs and duties that which satisfied all his desires. Imp !tans st or ks were undertaken, and arsenals esta blished. A Toulonnais, n Ricard, became his engineer, architect, founder, and decorator. arms, instruments, and books of all sorts, arrived from Paris and London f r the Musselon. He not only drank Champagne, like Ibrahim, hht often drank too much. Never was Turk so ready tot In 1815 Ismail Bey died, 'equally tegrette4 by Chris tians and Mustuirnans: Jussuff was succeeded at S ilo nica, according to custom. by a Pachl, and.* eturned to Serres. There he continued the good done -by his father, and governed with :wisdom and humanity ;hut his luxury, country seas, and. harems cost immense HMS He hail no duties and customs from.the sea, and he • soon became confined in his resources. From that time his affairs grew worse, and war was his ruin. At the commencement of the Oreek war he accept. d the title of P•cha of Three Tails, which his father bad ten times reused. Jussuff Pacha bad raised .several corps, and filled a few offices with success, when, he weirieJ orders to proceed to Varna and join the Capitan Paella with his Albanians. That was the last effort of histpetri.tism, and everything proves that he will never more be teeu in his counts y.—Gazefie de France. e e RECORDERS REPOR C. • Monday the Recommit of London made his Report to his MAJMY, at Windsor, of the following prisoners, who were capitally convicted at the last S:pteniber Sessions at the Old Bailey—viz. George Jefferson, £O, Elizabeth Patterson, 12, William Junto, 19' and Mary Roy, 211, for stealing in a dwelling-house; John alias Michael Callaghan, 52, fot uttering counterfeit coin; Henry Bur gess, 15, and Peter Fenn, 55, for forgery.; James Harpure, 22, James Thompson, 23, Walcott Farrow, 18, William Cos, 20.

The consideration of the case of Menet and Farthing is postponed. There never was an occasion noon which the feelings of unfortunate convicts and their f iends were to cruelly harassed as on that of the 49 shoe cases vie 11•• corder of London went to Windsor, on Monday last, prepared: to report. It happened. that there was r.e more than the September Sessi .n reported, but although the Cc.uncil was concluded at half-past sift o'clock, the G , trt• vernor of Newgate did not receive the necessary ri.reu.t ment, or any into matron whatever, as to the result of 'the deiberations of the Council, until 20 minutes alter five yesterday, when the Recorder's Cierk arrived at Newgate with the warrant. The hopes of the poor wretches were of course ele vated by the time occupied in the transaction at Wind. sor, so that when the Veport arrived those fur whom the public sympathy was peculiarly alive were ready to drop down with emotion. Ti e Reverend Mr. C riven immediately went to the cells of the condemned, and informed those who have been ordered for execution that they must prepare them • selves for death. Fenn. who all along expected a corn. mutation of punishment, was greatly affected—he trembled from head to foot, and became almost frantic with grief. Harpure and Higgins seemed to be sensible of their situation, but were cheerful in comparison with Fenn, who gave himself up wholly to de spair. Mr. Wootner ordiled . that a turnkey should remain in the cell of each of those who were ordered for ezecotion until the morning on which they are to oie. Hunton appeared to be greatly relieved at hearing that his case was not yet reported. He had been dread fully dejected for the list few days, and on Sunday,. during the whole day,his eyes were streaming with tears. A report bas got into circulation within these few days back, that Captain the Hon. Frederick Spencer is to be appointed to the Southampton, shortly to be commissioned as the flag ship to Sir Edward Oxen; but we are informed such is not the fact, and that Captain Gorge F. Rich will be Flag Captain to the Admiral—Morning Herald. LORD REdTOR OF GLASGOW COLLEGE. We think it right to return to the subject of the late College Election, in order to do aviay N i h some misap. prehenMons, which are stated to prevail concetn;ng the reasons for the rrote.t meted by the Stu.lents, against the conduct of the Professors at the election alluded to. The Student: who protested have not, as has been insinuated, the ant:rest personal hostility or ill-will to the Professors. On the contrary, most of them are Gentlemen wOo have distinguished themselves in their various classer and carlied off high academic honours, and who are '8 n teems of rtivate Isiendsliip of which they are very proud, with many Members oithe Senate. But, on public grounds, they hesitate not to dissent born the kind of m onager:legit which the Piriesspr, have all along adopted, elsecially about the election of a Lord Rector; and they conceive it a duty to them. selves and their successors to struggle against this as alertly as possible, but in a way the most formal, and least likely to cause any animosity between Students and Professsors. Thes • views alone animated them in their proceed ings on Saturday last. When they protested in the Common flail, and afterwards in the Faculty Hall, they had not had time t" deliberate; they were taken by surprise; and as they were afterwards at a loss to know whether their protest wis formal or not, they thought it expedient to consult a profe.sional gehtle inan, who, on . considering all ciicum tances, was of opinion th..t : protest in the hands of a notary, in com mon f rm, was the safest interim step which could be taken. The protest pr , cee.lid on three different grounds -Ist. Ttiat the Vice Rector has not, by law, the casting vote, the Principal him elf having so read the law pre vious to the polling; and althottAh two instances have hern quoted ,as au bority 11 the practice, it is con ceived that these. not being objected to, can have no irfl tence on the question, w ••,put some special statute, particu!arly as there is a broad exception in the commis sionby Mr. Campbell this Vice," of all Millers a here, by lase, the duty especially devolves on the Rector," of which it is held this is one. 2J. That even alt , ough Dr. Gibb -might have held this power, he was not legally present at the meeting; and, therefore, both Rector and Vice being absent, the meeting should have been closed, and a communication sent to the Supetior.Officer, and his casting vote obtained.-3J. That there were no re gular minutes taken at the meeting, and as Counsel advised in the late case ci the Town Council of Glas gow, minutes made nut and signed subsequently, are not evidence of any thing done at the meeting; and, besides, that the proceedings were in themselves itre gular, in so far as the Intrnnts did not repint, nor ap point one < f their number to aimounce the result, in terms of the statutes and regulations regarding elections. The students have no err been relieved in part from their embarrassment, by the letter of Sir Waite r Scott, declin ing the Rectorship; and their affairs have since then still farther brightened up, by the initial; on T u sday last, of Mr. Campbell, who, on rioceivi.ig notice of the pro , ceedings at the election, instantly set fa* florin London, land travelled day and night until he reached Glasgow. On learning h:s arrival, a numerous body of students immediately proceeded arm in atm to his residence, to ply to him their respects, and bid him welcome, and on teaching Claremont Place, where they announced their presence by three cheers, they : were at once admitted, .and received by theit Rector with the greatest aff ction.

[. • The Cot poration Committee for the superintenJence of the Port of London have recently been occupied indefatigably. in firming better reguktions for the accommodation of its commercial traffic. They have filmed a 'new code cf port regulations, which only await the approval of the Lord Chancellor and some ..ther membe.s of the Government to be carried into execution. The former rules were enacted at various times, without plan or. consistency, and were often vague and conflicting. An endeavour has been made to remedy these ,defects by the coJe; in which ni thing is omitted that is nfimportance, and l tbe whole put into the form which is best adapted for easy remenibtance and ready appl cition. They have made preparations for the better regulatiOn of vie tier. of vessels, and their more commodious ingress and egress. The harbour dues will be better settled, and (it is promised) much reduced. Inc duties of the harbour-masters, who were previously each masters, and withoui much controul either from other, or from the 'Corporation, have been better de fined, The appointmeot of thtse officers is with the Lord Mayor fur the time being, and they were some what divested to questiOn the authority of the Coma mittee to isiterfere with them, until the Committee , evinced that it had the power of sliming int reducing their salaries. New regulations will be tried with respect to them. The Committee so far reduced the salary and various appointments of the previous port surveyor, that he resigned, and a new one has been elected to perform the duties, also under new regula tions, at less than one-sixth the former expense. The Committee have promised a saving of at, least 1,0001. tuthe public, and a .:much better general performance of the business, during the first year. FIRE E N GINES.
