PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per raffle premium, and the short exchange rates on London is 25.17} per £ ster lin g . On comparing e 'with the English mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 421/ per mark, and the short t pet £ sterling . Standard gold exchange on London is 13 . 4 at the English mint price is, therefore, not q uite 1-10th per cent, dearer in Hamburg t han in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty days' sight is quoted at various rates, from par to 105 per cent., but for good commercial bills may be considered to be about 103 per cent., which exchange is against this country, and admits of the exportation of gold to the United States. The late severe easterly winds baying gradually tur ne d round to the south have added greatly to the amount of shipping in the port of. Liverpool. On Sunday last the improvement in the wind to ok p lace, and up to yesterday (Tuesday) evening upwards of 120 full .rigged ships had entered the port. The majority of these vessels were from the cotton ports of the United States, thus adding immensely to the stocks of cotton in hand at Liverpool.

This case came before the Court on certain questions relating to the personal property of the late Samuel Swin fen, arising between that gentleman's next of kin and his devisee, Mrs. Patience Swinfen. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the sum of £60,000 merged into the testator's estate, and the devisee takes it. The bequest of £145 11s. sd. and all the furniture was not confined to all the furniture in the house, but furniture in general, including stock, &c., and that the money in his house not disposed of at his death passes to his legatees. Several sums of money (Ll6B 3s. 10d., £287 14s. 4d., and £l9O 7s. 11d.) wee allowed to Mrs. Swinfen, with interest and dividends due thereon. Costs to be paid out of the estate. His Honour is to make a decree on further consider- ation, POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( TBIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. THE NEW ACT ON REFRESHMENT HOUSES.—George Lines, a servant, was charged with being drunk and assault ing Mr. Benjamin Alexander, eating and refreshment-house keeper, 26, Tichborne street, Haymarket. Mr. Alexander said the prisoner and two others, one of whom was a soldier, came into his house and wanted re freshment, but seeing they were drunk he refused to serve them, and two cf them left, but the prisoner refused to do so ; and on his putting his hand on his shoulder to lead him out he struck a violent blow at his (Mr. Alexander's) face, but which he warded off on his hand, which was bruised in consequence. Brown, 304 A, having proved taking the prisoner into custody, and seeing Mr. Alexander's hand bruised, Mr. Beadon said people were not to go into houses and kick up a row. It was clear he was drunk and assaulted the complainant. This was one of the first cases that had come before him under the new act respecting refreshment houses, and he would tell him by that act, if a person was drunkand was ordered to leave by the landlord, and refused to do OS, he was liable to a penalty of 40s. He should, however, fine him 20s. or a month. The clause of the Act is as follows :—" Any person who shall be drunk, riotous, quarrelsome, or disorderly, in any shop, house, or place, licensed for the sale of beer, wine, or spirituous liquors by retail to be consumed on the premises, or for refreshment, resort, and entertainment, under the provisions of this act, and shall refuse or neglect to quit such premises, shop, or house, or place upon being requested so to do by the manager, or occupier, or agent, or servant, er by any constable, shall, on conviction thereof, be liable to a penalty not exceeding 405." • THAMES. JUVENILE DELINQUE;ICi.—A little Irish boy, named Thomas Bryant, whose rough head of hair could just be seen peeping above the felon's dock in which he was placed, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing two caps from the shop of Mr. William Williams, hatter, of High-street, Poplar. Mr. Yardley asked the prosecutor if he placed his goods inside or outside his shop. Mr. Williams—Outside, always outside, sir. Mr. Yardley—Then you ought not to do anything of the kind. Keep your goods inside your shop beyond the reach of temptation in future. Mr. Williams—l beg pardon, sir, I meant inside my shop. I never put my goods outside my shop. Mr. Yardley—l am very glad to hear it. Go on, sir. Mr. Williams—This boy came into my shop yesterday afternoon and 'stole two caps. He ran away with them and I pursued him, and he deliberately threw the caps into a shoemaker's shop. After he was taken he confessed he stole a cap last week. _ _ Mr. Yardley asked the boy where he lived, and if his parents were in attendance. After the question had been repeated several times he stammered out, No. 7, Sophia street, Poplar. Mr. Yardley—ls your father or your mother present ? The boy made no answer.- " You little goose," exclaimed a woman at the back o, the court, " sure I'm your mother." Mr. Yardley—Come this way. The woman, who was decently attired, and whose man ner indicated respectability and intelligence, said she was very poor, and had never heard of her boy doing wrong before. He never brought home anything, and she wished to discourage his bad habits. Mr. Yardley—ls your name Bryant ? Witness—No, sir ; my name is Kelly. Mr. Yardley—The boy gives the name of Bryant. The mother—That was his father's name. Bryant was my first husband, and Kelly is my second. Mr. Yardley-1% ell, I should save this boy if possible. Tell your husband to attend here en Monday next. The boy is remanded until that day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MA.NCIIESTER—YEsTr.RDAy. Thu affatt at Cruydou eteatud 'very little Interest here.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer in to-day's market, nevertheless the demand for all .kinds ruled heavy at Monday's currency. The general quality of the samples was inferior. Upwards of 30,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having come fresh to hand, sales were very difficult, and they could not be effected except at reduced quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry. Fine barley was held at full prices, but other descriptions were rather easier, with a dull market. • There was little doing in malt at late quotations. The oat trade was somewhat firmer than on Monday. In prices, however, no change took place. Beans and peas ruled about stationary; but American flour, owing to the arrival of 22,550 barrels, was rather cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whe it. Barley. )(alt. Oats. Flour.

THE CONDEMNED CULPRIT ANNE PADFIELD.— Several paragraphs having appealed' in reference to the case of Anne Padfield, the convictunder sentence of death in the gaol of Newgate for the murder of her child, in which it appears to be assumed that she now admits her guilt, we aro requested to state that, since her conviction, the convict has made a statement to the ordinary, solemnly declaring that she had nothing to do with tie murder, and incrimi nating- other persons. This statentnt has been submitted by the sheriffs to the Secretary of hate, and is now under investigation. THE EMP.RE SS OF THE HE QUEEN. FRENCH TO The Empress Eugenia arrived at Windsor yesterday afternoon, in one of the state carriages of the Great Wes tern Railway, for the purpose of paying a visit to her Majesty and the Prince Consort. In accordance with the wishes expressed by the Empress that her visit should be considered strictly of a private character, the guard of honour was dispensed with, and even the time that her Majesty might be expected to arrive was announced to the officials scarcely an hour previous to her arrival, conse quently a great crowd at the station was avoided. The Prince Consort, accompanied by Lord Charles Fitz roy and Major Du Plat, came to the station at one o'clock, and awaited in the royal saloon her Majesty's arrival; pre • cisely at ten minutes past one o'clock the Empress arrived, when the Prince Consort proceeded across the platform and cordially shook hands with her Majesty as she left the carriage. Her Majesty took the Prince's arm, and pass ing through the saloon entered one of the royal pony car riages, and proceeded with the Prince to the Castle ; two other carriages followed with the ladies and gentlemen of her suite. On the platform to receive the Empress were Mr. Henry Driver (mayor), Lady Grey, Lady Bruce, Col. Dalrymple, of the Scots Fusilier Guards in garrison here; Rev. the Vicar of Windsor, Mr. Henry Stevens, Captain Layard, Mr. Matthews, and the following magistrates of the borough :—Messrs. Blunt, Harris, Holderness, and Hanson, and Mr. Henry Darvill, town clerk. The Empress as she left the station, and along the whole line of route to the Castle, was loudly cheered, and during her stay the bells of St. John's Church sent forth merry peals. The Empress, after luncheon, took leave of the Queen, and at ten minutes pact three o'clock arrived at the station, and passed through the Queen's waiting-room to the State carriage, leaning on the arm of the Prince Consort. Her Majesty appeared in good health, but not so in spirits, and with an amiable though somewhat pensive smile, she gracefully bowed to the company as the train slowly pro ceeded from the station. The royal journeys were performed in 30 minutes each way by the company's powerful engine, the Iron Duke. Moorfields, for the repose of the soul of this our dearly bo loved son in Christ. " We should be especially gratified by seeing tbose chaxi ties or institutions with which their departed benefactor was habitually connected distinctly represented by a com mittee or deputation at this service. Of intention to do so and eihe number expected to attend timely notice should be given at the church. "And, finally, reverencing that veil which shrouds so sacredly and so tenderly the mystery of surviving sorrow, we ask your prayers to the God of all consolation for sup port, comfort, and peace to those whose own virtues were entwined around or sprung fiom his whom God has taken, rather than death has struck down. "And may the souls of all the departed Faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. "Given, in Westminster, this first Sunday of Advent, MDCCCLX. "N. CARD. WISEMAN." MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELEGRAPH. A Malta correspondent says:—Bs- a notice issued on the 28th of November from the office of the Medi terranean Extension Telegraph Company the public was informed that telegraphic communication had been re-established between Malta acd the Con tinent, via Sicily and Naples. Regarding the Corfu and Otranto line I have received the following in letters from Mr. Andrews, the engineer and superintendent of the company, who is at present at Corfu, for the purpose of superintending the construction of that. line : "Corfu, Oct. 26.—1 have selected Sidari, two miles east of Cape Drasti, as the landing place for the cable. The bottom near Cape Palacrum was rocky, and therefore un suitable. The land line is now complete to within eight miles of Corfu. The Lord High Commissioner has offered me the use of the lonian steamer to go to Otranto to see after the landing place there. I shall start in a few daye, and on my return, and after the completion of the land line, if no news reaches me of the cable coming at once, I shall avail myself of the first op portunity of returning to Malta. As regards the land . line I have had a good deal of difficulty with it, on account of the nature of the country on the other side of San Savadore, which is full of ravines and high hills. I find the country at the north end of the island as well cultivated as this end, if nut better, and the inhabitants more kind and obliging. " Corfu, Nov. 4.—1 have been prevented going to Otranto, but hope to start in a few days. I only require a few insulators to finish the line. There was no sign of the vessel with the cable leaving England on the 26th ult. The land line will be finished' after the new insulators arrive. All the poles are up, with the wire up to the place .where the new joins the old line." With reference to the above, I und ers t an d th at t h e insulators required by Mr. Andrews to finish the land line were sent up from Malta without loss of time by her 'Majesty's steam frigate Melpomene ; but, as a letter has been received from Corfu com plaining of their non-arrival, it is feared that they may have gone on to the East in the Melpomene, which, after touching at Corfu, left for Syria. If this be the ease it will probably cause a further delay of some weeks in the completion of the land portion of the Otranto and Corfu line. The Eng-, lish screw steamer Danube, which arrived yester day from Alexandria, had on board nearly all the Red Sea Telegraph Company's staff of telegraph clerks, who are returning homewards. From this it would appear that the Red Sea Telegraph Com pany intend abandoning the cable for the present. THE LATE DUKE OF NOEFOLK. The following pastoral letter of his Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster was read in all the churches and chapels of the archdiocese on Sunday last : " Nicholas, by the Divine Mercy, of the Holy Roman Church, of the title of St. Pudentiana Cardinal Priest, and 'Archbishop of Westminster. To our dearly Be loved Brethren and Children in Christ, the Clergy Secular and Regular, and the Faithful of the said diocese. Health and benediction in the Lord. " While death is daily engaged in its work of removing men from this earthly scene we seldom feel it our duty to call your atteni ion to this unceasing course of nature, or to claim it for what may seem a peculiar case in its operation. For it excepts not the great, nor the good, nor the learned, nor the dear from its unsparing action, but takes each in its turn, and keeps a stern proportion between these and the mass of its more secret victims. " But now we feel, dearly beloved in Christ, that it is incumbent on us to invoke your sympathies and summon you to participation in our grief, because an unsearchable decree of Providence has removed from us one to whom manifold ties of respect, gratitude, and affection bound this diocese. " Our well-beloved son in Jesus Christ, Henry, Duke of Norfolk, closed his edifying life, by a calm and holy end, on the night of Sunday last, the 2.5 th inst., leaving a void among us not easily to be filled up. It is not because the first of England's noblemen is lost to us, and years must pass before the inheritor of his title, and we may trust of his virtues, will be free to act, but because we have had taken from before us, and from among us, a model and a practiser of great Christian and Catholic virtue. "For, while placed in the very highest pinnacle of social and national position, while' surrounded by all the advan tages vilAich the world can give, endowed with manly and generous qualities, and even physically offering a choice type of English manhood, there was in this illustrious man a gentleness that sprung from true humility, and almost concealed by its external grace the firm root from which it grew. Whether in the form of considerateness for the lowest dependent, or of attentiveness to guest and friend, or of deference to counsellors, or of unostentatiousness in person and action, or of simplicity in the doing of great things, or of bashful shrinking sensibility as to public ap pearance, we have noted, with admiration, a far deeper and holier groundwork than these outward characteristics manifested to the world. For they were the result of a rare unselfishness, self-neglect, and almost self-contempt. If what is called Fortune was lavish of its gifts to him, Grace certainly was no less generous, and made him lowly and simple in heart and inmost thought ; so that he con sidered himself placed where he was only to dispense the earthly blessings in his hand, for the love of God and of his neighbours. ".It is for this singular humility of soul, which imparted .-kmuch gracious beauty to his character and conduct, that we have always most revered and honoured him. "And, at the same time, we must not omit to give him another praise, rare in our times of political intrigue, want of public principle, and social hypocrisy. Whatever the days of nricient chivalry may have loft on record of unsullied integrity and unspotted honour, of inflexibility in rectitude, and uffilinchingness in truth, was true and living in hire.. He sacrified the career of his public life, he refused the dis , tinction of Royal favour most coveted by those of his rank, because he feared the slightest compromise of his highest principles. He would struggle against his dearest wishes, when they were at variance with a conviction, perhaps even ,an unconsciously mistaken one, ' which commanded his action. • " But, as we have already observed, that humility which was so truly his characteristic was linked with a charity direeted by it. Indeed, the two virtues might be said to have a common root. " For what more closely allied than unselfishness and charity ? It is this virtue, indeed, so extensively, and so generously exercised, which mainly gives the deceased a claim to cur affection and to our suffrages. There is scarcely a charity in this diocess which has not, either permanently or on some more pressing occasion, experienced his benevo lence. There is not a form of want, or a peculiar application of alma, which has not received his relief or co-operation. The building of churches—the erection of schools—the in stitution of orphanage, alms-house, reformatory, training school, or hospital—the foundation of convents whether for contemplation or for active duties—the education of the clergy at home or abroad—any Catholic interest or cause, whether of the hierarchy or of the oppressed inmates of workhouses or prisons—whether, in fine, that required assistance for carrying out a good and holy work found ever in him a ready, an ungrudging, and a noble-hearted bene- HEALTH OF LONDON LURING THE WEEK. factor. "Nor did this diocese exhaust the measure of his libe rality. Wherever he had property he has loft behind him monuments of his religious munificence. Arundel and Sheffield, for instance, will perpetuate its memory, Yet it would be difficult, perhaps, to define the limits to which the exercise of this virtue was carried ; because the extent of private and domestic charity which he practised can never be known. Instances have, indeed, come casually to our knowledge, which migkt have been considered sufficient to satisfy all the obligations of a rich and virtuous man for a considerable period ; but where the left hand was not in tended to know what the right had done. There is no doubt that this truly excellent man has cast his bread largely upon the waters, which left no traps of his muni ficence inscribed on them ; but the seeds thus scattered have met him now, and he has found them kneaded into a food of eternal life. " Nor was his charitable generosity confined to the will ing distribution of ample means, but it manifested itself in a thousand other ways no less valuable. Influence is as im portant in this country as affluence, influence of rank, in fluence of power, influence of connexions, influence of character, of abilities, of virtue, of manner even, can bear much on the successful issue of great affairs. All these gifts the illustrious object of our regrets possessed, and more; and never did he hesitate or fail to bring them to the aid of any Catholic interest. His name, a name full of weight, was at the head of.any protest, petition, or declaration to which he assented; his voice, one heard ever with respect, was always raised, in spite of his natural retiring modesty, whenever a calumny had to be dispelled, or a sophism broken, in the high lists of the Senate ; his presence , at all times bland and yet encouraging, was never refused when a meeting, or a deputation on Catholic matters required it. " What wonder that God should have bestowed on one who so practised the first of virtues an abundance of other graces ; that his faith in life should have been truly living, manifested by the fulfilment of all other commandments, and, by the practice of every religious duty; that his hope in death should have been bright and firm. " The day may come when, without wounding the deli cacy of domestic affection, the thousand beautiful things which he said and did may be brought to edify the piety of the faithful. For the present, suffice it to say that so.peace ful, so sweet, so like a slumber in God's arms was . his pas sage from this world that no one who hears these lines may fear to hope that his own. ` transit may be su . ch.

The mortality of London has constantly increased during the last five weeks, and in the week that ended last Saturdiy the deaths were 1,275. The average number of deaths deduced from the re turns of weeks corresponding with last week in the ten years 1850.59, and for the purpose of com parison corrected for increase of population, is 1,397. Hence it will be seen that though the cold and damp air of November has swelled the weekly list, the deaths in the present return are still less by 122 than they would have been if the average rate of mortality had prevailed. In the correspond ing week of 1858 scarlatina, bronchitis, and pneu monia raised the deaths nearly 500 above the mortality of last week. Fatal cases of measles have risen from 41 in the previous week to 50 last week, scarlatina from 401 to 45. The latter disease appear* to be common in the west districts, where it carried off many more children than in the other metropolitan divisions. Four deaths from scarlatina occurred in the sub district of St Mary, Paddington, and four in Che Thea North-East, 4 in other parts of the Chelsea district, and 3 in St. John, Westminster. Three children died of measles in the sub district of St. Paul, Hammersmith, 4 in Fulham, 3 in St. Giles, South, 3 in Hoxton New Town, and 3 in Plumstead. The deaths from phthisis last week were 166; the same number from bronchitis, and 126 from pneumonia ; which numbers do not differ materially from the corrected averages. Five persons died in consequence cf their clothes taking fire—viz., the widow of an upholsterer aged 71 years, the daughter of a coal-porter aged lour years, the son of a dock labourer aged five years, the son of a piano forte key cutter aged five years, and the son of a sawyer aged three years. A girl was burnt in a house which took fire, and a child was burnt on the chest by a hot mussel falling inside her dress. Four infants were suffocated in bed, and 2 were murdered. A boy, aged 12 years, was killed by brandy. Two twin children of a shoemaker were, accord ing to the coroners return, "poisoned by effluvia from bad drainage of the house," 72, Boston street, Hackney-road, in which they lived. They both died on the 18th of November. The daughter of a blacksmith, aged 18 years, in New-park-road, Brixton, died from diphtheria, which was caused by bad drainage. All the members of the family have been ill, and two, including the daughter just mentioned, have died. Last week the birth of 870 boys and 826 girls, in all 1,696 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the Years 1850-59 the average number was 1,662. METROPOLITAN WATERS, NOVEMBER, 1860. The waters of London, according to the analyses of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., are rather more impure than in the previous month. Their variable compositions affords unfavourable contrast with that of the Glasgow and Manchester waters, which may be considered the types of a wholesome town supply, while it may be favourably compared with that of a city well containing sewage, which was originally sunk for the purpose of watering the streets, but has been too long used by the neigh bourhood for drinking purposes in consequence of the pump handles not beiug properly secured by the parochial authorities.

COLLIE_ EXPLOSION IN XEWPORT, TUESDAY. The coroner's inquest into the deaths of the unfortunate men who were killed by the explosion of the Black 'Vein Coal Mine, Monmouthshire, on Saturday last, was fornially commenced this morn ing before Mr. W. H. Brewer, deputy coroner, end a jury of fifteen, consisting of residents in the im mediate locality of Pontymister and Risca, of whom Mr. George * H. Banker of Poutymister, was th e foreman. As might have been expected, however, the proceedings before the : coroner were , purely formal, and consr,sted, in fact, of the swearing in of the jury, and visiting some of the dead bodies. Mr. Brough, the government inspector of mines, was on the spot at an early hour of the morning, and descended into the pit, where he has been for several hours. Mr. Thos. Phillpotts, the manager of the Risca Coal and Iron Company, has given up his authority over the mine to Mr. Brough, under whose orders "shifts" of men are actively engaged in searching for the men beneath. The following represents the actual state of things when the explosion took place, and the return of deaths up to Tuesday. a The number of nit n on the day shift on Saturday morning when the accident took place was 199. Of these there were 64 saved. 80 dead bodies have been taken out, and there are still missing and under ground 55. Supp os i ng all of those at pre• sent in the pit to be dead, and that sepia the gene ral impression, the number of deaths would amount to 135, Every exertion is being made to find the bodies that still remain under ground. Re lays of from 15 to 20 men, led by an experienced fireman, descend alternately; but as the whole ventilation of the mine has been blown to pieces, the work of exploration is necessarily very slow. Only eight bodies were recovered on Sunday, s i x on Monday. It appears that a descent into the mine is still attended with great danger, and none but steady and experienced men are admitted in. It is not expected that all the bodies will be out for another fortnight, and it is doubtful whethe r the mine will not continue *he " living tomb' for a good many, as the desolation and debris cuustal by the explosion is reported to be most extensive. - As to the cause of the explosion it would be premature to Irizard an opinion. That will be best ascertained by the result of the inquest. I may mention, however, that very contradictory . statements are given as to the cause. Mr. null potts, the general manager, was In London at the time of the accident, but he asserts that the state of the mine was, as far as it could be ascertained, excellent, that the 'ventilation was very good, and that the Black Vein Coal and Iron Company went to a good deal of cxpense in improving it. On the other hand, some of the men. have declared that the mine was in a very bati condition for some time, and that there was art apprehension amongst the men that some calamity would tak e place.. Conflicting rumours are of course always rife after an occurrence of this kind, but it is perhaps as well to give them. The friends of those who have relatives still underground are in the most anxious state of expectation, and their misery is even greater than that of these who have the certainty of death brought hone to them. In many instances this has been realised in multiplied form. One of the persons whom I met with this morning was a young man named West, who escaped from the mine by a back way when the explosion took place. His three brothers, however, were not so fortunate, for they were brought up dead. This is not a solitary instance: other famine-3 have quite as sad a tale to tell. The drawn blinds of numerous cottages around reveal how extensive has been the calamity, and for some miles around, the minors' houses have their corpse or corpses. The coroner's jury was to have been sworn at. half-past eleven, but it was nearly an hour later before the coroner and jury assembled. They were then sworn to inquire into the deaths of Henry Edwards, David Jenkins, and the other deceased persons, amounting to eighty, who lest their lives. Mr. Owen, solicitor, of Newport, appeared for some of the deceased ; Mr. Morgan Lleavellin appeared on behala: of the Black Vein Iron and Coal Company. Mr. Phiilpotts, manager, was also present, as well as the Rev. Dr. Williams, chancellor of the diocese. Mr. Owen hoped that no person connected with the works should be on the jury. The Coroner said lie had given instructions that no person connected with the works should be on the jury, and he did not believe that any person se connected was on the jury. The jurymen, as their names were called, could answer for themselves. The policeman who issued the summonses said that he summoned the jury under the instructions he received. He got a list of names from Inspector Towier, but he set aside some of the names given to him by the inspector. lie did SO of his own authority. Mr. Owen then applied to have two experienced persons on the part of the men to inspect the present state of the mine. Mr. Phillpetts said that he had no objection on the part of the company ; but he would advise that it should not be done, as it was certainly dangerous to do so. Any person going down should do so with the sanction of Mr. Brough, the Government inspector, who was then in the mine. _ _ Mr. Owen asked if the coroner would give ax order for the two men to go down. The Coroner said if they went down they must do so on their own responsibility. He would give no order of the kind. Mr. Owen then asked if the jury were in any way interested in the company or the works. • The jurymen replied that they were not. The Coroner then, addressing the jury, said that they were called together to inquire into one of the most painful and fatal explosions on record, by' which so many human beings had perished. He impressed on them the necessity of giving an im partial verdict, of not being biassed by anything they might have heard outside, but to return their verdict according to the evidence adduced before them. He should do everything in his power to bring satisfactory evidence before them, and he trusted they would give it a patient and attentive hearing. All that they could do that day was to view some of the bodies. He proposed that they should view them all, and as this would occupy some days , and as the bodies in the p it would not be found for some considerable time, he proposed to postpone the taking of evidence till the 18th of December. Mr. Llewellen said that he appeared for , the Risca Coal and Iron Company, in whose works the calamity, unprecedented in its results in that county, had occurred. As to the causes of the accident it would be premature to speculate. They would best be discovered by the inquiry ; but the company felt it incumbent on them to give every assistance in their power to promote the inquiry. The jury and coroner then proceeded, in the midst of a drizzling rain and paths thick with mud, to view the dead bodies, which lie scattered all about the district. In this work probably two or three days will be consumed. It was understood that Lord Tredegar, the lord of the soil, had given a piece of land for the burial of the unfortunate men, and that Chancellor Wil liamsnecessity stated, on the part of the bishop of the dio isslien should take dio cese, that he would dispense for the present with th ar e e y obliged to lis l e, and decom tthhaetcothneseebrtant.iiaoln.ofltsotaemaolfa.ettleyhrienobgf opidnreiets ipnl whichc ef o r t h t hnei quick position has set in.

A Knight rushed to the rescue, and King David lived to found an a bbey upon the site of his perilous adventure. This pretty tradition, redolent as with in cense from the censers of gratitude and piety, is borne out by the armorial device of the abbey and adjoining burgh of Canongate—a cross between tithe ereantlers of version of t a stag— although there is n ot wanting Fhe story, which ascribes the escape to miraculous agency. The monastery thus founded was called Holy Rood Abbey. on accoun t of the inc ident having occurred ou the festival day of the Holy Cross, and was held especially sanctified by virtue of the possession of a small black fragment of the ; true cross —a legacy bequeathed by Margaret, the grand . niece of Edward the Confessor, to her son, King David.
