"I AUGUST '2: &claws of the bloody sheets, his shirt, and the poker,- Ile betrayed the most afflicted emotion. The poker appeared particularly to shock him. He seems about twenty-six years of age. with no mark of any thing violent whatever in his countenance, which is rather remarkable for the expression of meekness. In fact, his look wholly baffles the calculations of the physiognomist, for we scarcely ever observed a face less expressive of any thing cruel or ferocious. His voice was quite guttural and indistinct, probably the effect of the wound in his throat. Nicholson is, it appears, a native of Chester, and the son of a pri vate soldier. The trial of Charles Masureaux, Francois Aime, and John Wa tigny followed. These men, who are French prisonersi stood charged, the first as principal, and the two latter as ;wee:Andes, in the murder of Win. King, on the 6th July last, on board the Samp son prison-ship, in the river Medway. Masureaux pleaded guilty, but, by the advice of the Judge, with drew the plea and took his trial. He was, however, found guilty ; and the two latter, who were accused of furnishing him with a knife, and advising him to commit the murder. were acquitted, and Alastneaux was ordered for execution on Monday next. • ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. Six powder mills at reversham, belonging to Mr. Hall, Dartford, Kent. blew up on Friday morning at one o'clock;with a terrible explosion. No lives were lost, but one man was severely bond. Patrick Whelan was senteoced, at the Lituerick Assizes, to be hanged on the 14th of next morth, for maiming one Timothy Leary with a seethe. this wretch hail been one of the insurgents during the rebellion, and conceiving a hatred towards Leary, he cut away and at two sweeps mowed down all the fingers of his right hand. Leary's inoffensive sister came likewise in for her share of the pri• soner's brutality; for, in her virtuous struggles to protect her brother, he released himself from her grasp by the summary pro cess of snapping and fracturing one cf her fingers. The followitig dreadful accident occurred on Tuesday se'nnight, at Bradford Colliery. near Wednesbnry, in the comity of Stafford. About ten o'clock in the morning, while twelve men and three boys were at work in a coal-pit, 54 yards in depth, a great body of water, sand, and gravel, 00 yards in circumference, suddenly sunk• in, and, shocking to relate, buried or inclosed in the titrther end of the pit nine men and one boy ! Three men and two boys, by being near to the mouth of the pit, were most providentially saved. The remainder of them were given over as lost, notwithstanding-which it was resolved to make a road to them, from an adjoinim.. , pit, by cutting through the solid coal nearly 70 yards, in an horizontal di rection. The work was immediately begun, and continued night and day until about one o'clock on Monday morning; having nearly driven through to the place in which they were, one of them was heard to call out " work more to the left," and, astonishing to re late, by one o'clock at noon, eight of the men, and the boy, were lm at alive ! 'As soon as a sufficient opening was. 'wide, a cup of gruel was, by direction of medical gentlemen present, administered to each, when they were removed towards the shaft of the pit, where beds were prepared, into which, after being rubbed, they were put for two hours. They were then attended in a coach to their houses, and, we are happy to say, are likely to do well, af.er being enclosed nearly seven days in the bowels of the earth, during which time the uuly sustenance they received was a little water , which dropped front the roof; awl which they caught in a small iron pan.--John Keeling, a man with a wife and six children, has not yet been found, but it is supposed lie has beed bilried Under the fall, in endeaveuring to escape.
