The colliery is the property of Messrs. Vivian and Sons. Thursday evening last being the.day previous to Good Fri day, the colliery was comparatively deserted by its ordinary inmates, who were bent on enjoying the holiday. Instead, therefore, of the colliery being worked, as usual, by some 100 to 150 men, only ten persons were employed in the place at the time of the catastrophe. Five men and boys were engaged at one of the headings, and five men and boys at a second heading. A lad named Lewis, 16 years of age who was working in one heading, told his comrades he was going to an old heading, in which no one was working, for a shovel ; and he took a candle with bim. One of the colliers warned him that he must not take a candle to the place, as it was likely that the fatal gas might have accumu lated there, although the rest of the colliery appeared to have been exceedingly well ventilated. Lewis replied that he would take care not to take the candle there. It transpired that after this caution the ill-fated lad stuck the candle against one of the passages some distance from the heading ; and proceeded into it in quest of his shovel. Shortly after he had entered a loud explosion was heard, and the fatal gas swept towards the heading where the men were working. Two of the poor fellows were killed on the spot from the effects of the after damp, and the lad Lewis, the cause of the unfortunate accident, had his feet blown off, and he was so mutilated as not to be recognisable. The five men who were engaged in an adjoining heading were not injured by the explosion, and they rushed to the rescue of the others. ns offering DO ES NG, STAMPED bd. ion is now bable that and Trunk MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCI ATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament. 1859), 14, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, And 38, QUEEN'S-ROAD, BRIGHTON ADVANCES MONEY upon personal security, Bills of Sale, Free hold or Leasehold Property, for one, two, or three years, repay- Ible weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

WINDMILL STREET, PICCADILLY Musical Director and Conductor --Signor LUIGI CUETI THE LOM BARD EXCHANGE AND NEWS-ROOKS. At the Castle of Exeter, on Saturday, Charles Staddon, a joiner's apprentice, was brought before the county magistrates on the charge of manslaughter. John Western, labourer, aged 25, in the employ of Messrs. Dewdney, at the Paper Mills, Stoke Canon, a village about five miles from this city, was on Good Friday morning shot dead. Western, who was a steady young man and much respected by his neighbours, went to the parish church, but, finding on reaching the door that be was rather late, he retraced his steps. On passing the shop of Mr. Richards, who is a carpenter, and also sells provisions, he turned into a passage -leading to the joinering-shop, intending to get a pipe of tobacco from the son of Mr. Richards. Just as he approached the gate, which was partially closed, the melancholy event occurred—he was shot in the left eye and killed instantaneously. The shot came from the shop, which he was about to enter, and passed through the higher part of the gate. It was fired from a gun by Charles Staddon, apprentice to Mr. Richards, with whose son►e was at the time engaged in making a coffin. The :atter was the only witness of the occurrence. He stated to the magistrates that the gun belonged to his father, who is a bit of a sportsman, and the day previously vas preparing to shoot pigeons. Mr. Richards, senior, .oaded the gun, and in doing so unfortunately broke Dff the brass end of the ramrod, which with /the powder he left inside. Placing the weapon in a vice, he endea toured to get the broken ramrod out, but did not try the plan of applying a percussion cap, and firing off the contents. Young Staddon did this as an experiment, with the grievous mischief stated. Taking up the gun which Mr. Richards had hurriedly left standing against the wall, he remarked to the son that he should like to see whether t would go off. He then took a cap out of his waistcoat pocket, and fired in the direction of the gate, with the consequences above narrated. The bench remanded the zase, admitting the prisoner to bail.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cialls commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the pretnium, a fixed sumo in respect of every pentium paid, bearing © same r ßesides this important advantage, every policy will ex wthhoelennuummbeberroforpirgei-- nm t origi nally to s contracted actuallyt h t talptaaoinasboemu paid. amount da.s bearsu assured dt the e s t p h r e el s , l ie y s ca s os t ns a ut t i e rneu w da h nw a e ei t l o s t u f. h m ta sh c e a a al n ws s a au t ; s a n ny heme v. t i e m t h e e b o e p w t o i t u h d o r f a r w e t n a ionn h l ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly delined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, 1-ankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this el iss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assuranzes—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the poEcies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallertgoable on any N, Latoor. They may therefore be apt l y termed Absolute Beenrity P a iri , s. .• .

The directors dpaw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention'to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOT IN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary. London, March 18, 1869.

The masters shew no sign whatever of rescinding their proposition. On the 7th of next month, when the longest notices will (x2ire, about thirty mills will be closed and upwards of 16,000 hands on strike. On Saturday the operatives at another mill (Mr. Maynard's) struck. work, their fortnight's notice having terminated. The operative weavers, who are hy far the largest section of factory hands in the town, continue to express their willingness to submit to a reduction of 5 per cent„ which will bring them down to the standard list—a minimum scale of remuneration, agreed to nine li years since, and based upon the average wages paid throughout the town at that time. But they will strike rather than make a further concession. The entire num. ber of weavers an strike is about 1,500, exclusive of depen dents, who will swell the ranks into more than 2,000. Within the past few days meetings in support of the Preston weavers have been held at Chorley, Black burn, Darwen, Clitheroe, Clayton-le-Moors, Accring ton, ITaslineen, Ramsbottem, and Padiham. They have 1 eon addressed by deputies from Preston, who attended in acc.rdance with requests from the carious di-tricts mentioned, and at each of them resolutions in sup) opt of the Preston operatives were carried. Levie s amount:lm on the average to about 2d. per loom we're a L reed fled n at a 1 of them, and the money wir, in the course of the neat few days, Ue forwarded to - T'reston.,The I operatives persist in saying that the notice for a reduction has been withdrawn at the five mills of Messrs. Daw kins ; but that firm has not done so, and it is certain that the notice has been tom down. The spinners and minders, upon whose will depends the employment of the great majority of the operatives, will accept no seduction. They are being paid in accordance with the standard list, and insist upon either its strict :ecognition or an appeal to arbitration. They have good promises of support, and will be able to maintain their posi tion for a long time. The addition made to the bands on strike during the week has been about 200 ; the number of mills at which strikes have occurred is seven ; and there are now nearly 3,000 operatives out of work. The card room hands, who number about 2,000, are more strongly opposed to the 10 per cent. reduction than the spinners, for they allege that they are now being paid 20 per cent. below the generality of similar operatives in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire. The delegates • .out out by this body to lay their. case before the .peratives of surrounding districts returned on Saturday with very favourable reports as to the support which would be given to them if no arrangement is come to aefore the general notices expire. There are sixty of the card-room hands now on strike. These operatives have two associations and an " institute," and the women, who have a union among themEe:ves, are very fiercelyopposed to any reduction. The card-room bands on strike receive Ss. per week—a sum amounting to more than some of them got when working short time at the wages now paid. Throughout the entire operative community of Preston there is a determination to resist the 10 per cent. reduction. The masters, on the other hand, say that it must be submitted to, and some of them are prepared to keep their mills standing twelve months, presuming that there is no change in the markets, rather than give way to the claims of the operatives. Another large meeting of delegates from various towns in ~ancashire was held at the Weavers' Institute, Preston, ms Sunday. The early portion of the meeting was taken up with the reading of reports as to grants made in different places for the weavers on strike. The best reports—those announcing the most money in comparison with the number of operatives —came from Darwen, Chorley, Haslingden, and Padibans. It is stated that Blackburn has yet done nothing worth mentioning in the s matter of contributions, the political excitement there going the alleged rea son ; b u t the cotton trade of Black burn is very depressed, and if there were no " political excitement" many operatives would not be able to give money to aid the Preston hands. The delegates have resolved that 4s. per bead should be given this week to all operative weavers on strike, whether they be in or out of the Union. A meeting of delegates representing the card-room opera. tives has also been held in Preston. There were represen tatives from twenty districts present. At the commencement of the proceedings the local secretary made a statement explanatory of the present dispute, and contended that the Preston card-room hands were now, without auy further reduction, paid lower than operatives similarly em ployed in 107 places in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire. The delegates were very decided in their opinions as to the unfairness of the proposed reduction, and unanimously resolved "that all the districts in the association support by every legitimate means in their power the card-room hands of Preston when they come out on strike, by putting on levies and making subscriptions ; the card-rooms of all the mills in Lancashire." The practice of advertising by stencilling on the foot pavements and parish posts, &C., in 'Wandsworth and Clapham has become such a nuisance that the District Board of Works has found it necessary (says the South London Press) to undertake the prosecution of one person caught in the act, as a warning to others. THE SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION rETI TION.—The petition against the return of Mr. John Hardy, one of the Conservative members for South Warwickshire, will be tried at the Shire Hail, Warwick, on the sth May, and subsequent days. It is not yet known which of the judges will try the petition, but it is surmised it will be taken by Mr. Baron Martin, as Mr. Justice Blackburn will be engaged with the Stafford petitions. The petition, which is presented by four Lramington tradesmen, alleges that Mr. Hardy, by himself and others on his behalf, was guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence, whereby he is incapacitated to serve in Parliament, and therefore that the election its, null and void.
