This opinion was founded on the ap pearance, discourse, and an extraordinary delusion of the prisoner, which was, as he said, that the " occasion required him to commit the two murders committed." Assuming all the facts de scribed by the witness Ellis to be true, it was the opinion of the witness that the prisoner was insane, especially the calmness of the prisoner after having committed such a hideous murder. The prisoner told this witness that he did not consider murder to be a crime. In answer to the learned Judge, the witness said it was his opinion that the insanity of the prisoner was accompanied with lucid intervals. The witness said he asked him how he came to com mit such horrible murders, and the prisoner an swered that " the o3casion required it." The wit ness said he believed the prisoner did not believe that the acts were crimes. Mr. Poland—He told you so?—Yes. And you believed him ?—Yes. And thought it a proof of delusion ?—Yes ; certainly. He said that they (his wife and child) were destitute, and that it was bet ter to rid them of life, and that it was right to do so. You thought his moral sense so blunted that he did not think that murder was a crime ?—Yes •, it so appeared to me. (The witness said he could dis tinguish between feigned and real insanity, having been frequently called in to decide. He admitted , however, that it might be difficult to do so, and that it might be necessary, in order to detect feigned insanity, to have several interviews. It was put to him whether the prisoner's observation that "if he - returned to London he should return under the sentence of death" did not indicate that he understood the punishment of murder to be death, upon which he hesitated a good deal, and at first said he thought it did not, but, the question being repeated by the learned judge, he at last said he thought it did at that time. He was then asked whether the telegram, " In prison ; my life is over ; have to justify myself from most terrible charges ; see my friend ; want his brother," &c., did not indicate sense and sanity ; upon which he said that he should think it did at that time, and that it showed that at that time the prisoner might be of sound mind ; but it was not inconsistent with either view, and was consistent with both.) The learned Judge—Should you say that he knows he is on his trial fcr murder ?—I do not think he does. You think he does not know what is passing in court?--I should doubt it. You so judge from all you have seen of him ?—Yes. (These answers seemed to excite some surprise in court.) Mr. Sutton, surgeon, of Sittingbourne, was next called, and said he had seen the prisoner once—yes terday—before the trial, conversed with him, noticed his demeanour, and came to the conclusion that he was subject to delusion, and consequently that at the time of the murder he was not in a sound state of mind ; and considering his actions at Ramsgate, as proved in court, only strengthened his opinion. The learned Judge—What particular facts, sir, strengthened your opinion?—His cool and collected manner, and his display of affection for the child before and after the murder. Mr. Poland—That is, the affection he showed for the child before he killed her strengthened your view that he was not in a sound state of mind ? Yes. That is, to kill a child he had previously kissed was a proof of insanity?—Not that alone, but it was confirmatory of the delusion. The learned Judge—What delusion ?—That he had committed no crime. g'ot a delusion as to any fact or person, but a moral delusion ?—A destruc tive tendency. Mr. Poland—He told you he considered it no crime, and you took his word for it ; that is, that he thought so 2—Yes ; it seemed to show delusion. When you spoke to him on Tuesday, did he seem to know that he was to b 3 tried for murder?—Yes, I think he did. You don't place much reliance, surely, on his being " cool and collected," do you ? You have surely known cases of criminals " cool and collected ?" (Witness admitted that he had. but upon the whole, he said, he thought the priL soner not of sound mind. If asked a question, he said, he could answer rationally, but his manner was confused and rambling ; he did not say in coherent.) The learned Judge—Do you say that he knows he is being tried for murder ?—Yes ; 1 think he does. And understands what is going on ?—Yes, I think so. And understands what you say ?—Yes, I think so. I believe him to be rational on most points ; only as to his destructive tendency, and these murders, I think he is insane and does not know them to be crimes. How far should you say this delusion or monomania extends ?—lt is, I think, a homicidal mania ; although it is difficult to define where insanity begins and ends. I think it is homicidal mania.—ls it, do you think, general or special—that is, a general tendency to homicide, or a special tendency to kill particular persons? — Not general. This closed the evidence for the defence, which had a good deal disturbed the gravity of the Court. and gone far to deprive it of the solemnity which usually attends a trial for murder. Mr. Poland then addressed the jury in reply on the part of the prosecution. The defence was, he said, that the prisoner was insane, and it really came to this, that he was to be considered insane on account of the greatness of the crime ; but, accord ing to his view, there was no single action of the prisoner previous to the murder that indicated insanity, The learned Judge summed up the case to the jury, at the conclusion of which the jury retired to consider their verdict. They were not long absent, and on their return they, amid the breathless silence of a crowded court, first pronounced their finding that he was now of sane mind, and then they returned the fatal verdict of " Guilty" upon the charge of murder. There was, upon this, not merely a murmur of satisfaction, but the commencement of a burst of applause, which was of course immediately checked. The prisoner was then called upon in the usual way to say anything he had to say against sentence of death. He said nothing, and, indeed, showed no feeling at all. Proclamation of silence was then made, and the learned judge having assumed the black cap, was about to pass the last dreadful sentence of the law, when the prisoner spoke, and, in the same affected tone of voice he bad assumed throughout, desired to address some observations to the Court, if he was entitled to do so. The learned Judge—Prisoner, you are at liberty to show anything in arrest of judgment ; or to show that from matter of law I cannot pass sentence upon you, but you are not at liberty to question the pro priety of the verdict, or to enter into any extraneous circumstances. The prisoner, still in the same affected tone, de sired to have the memoranda he had made in the course of the trial in order to enable him to make some observations on the case. The learned Judge—Prisoner, it would be vain. It would be vain to have these memoranda. It would be in vain to offer any observations, un r,ntehodedoubt that you less you are prepared to urge anything to show that in point of law I am precluded from passing sentence upon you. It would be vain to urge any thing else. Now is the time only to urge anything in point of law to show that I cannot now proceed to pass upon you the sentence of the law for the crime of wilful murder. The prisoner being now silent, seemingly im pressed with a sense of awe, The learned Judge proceeded to pass sentence on him. Prisoner at the bar, he said, you have been convicted after the fullest trial, upon the most care fulas is the crime of murder under any circumstances, the details of the present case are so horrible and der investigation, ti g a wilfulti o murder, o f the of awful your owni ne wife.of w Dreadfulf mur der---the r - impossiblednigyd are md seue a p te ty e k r f fsel have rt t vto l eyoi mercy able epi araranesiyyst to obligations eharg e yourof moral crimes duty, upon and cannotso to o lo longer indulged dwell nl ged a upon w ic them. ke d p a s s T o o n u , painfulhtachinaceddt so ciety. ev t isddl thatee cad endeavoured have url to appreciate what lam saying.

(That sentence was accordingly passed in the usual form.) The prisoner, who seemed at last awe-struck and spell-bound, was removed, and the vast audience dispersed. An engine driver on the Northern Railway, named Dint, and residing at Lesquien (Nord), has just killed his daughter by stabbing her with a knife, after which he blew out his own brains with a pistol. He was intoxicated at the time, but his motive for this double crime is believed to be his irritation, at learning that his daughter, who is unmarried, was likely soon to become a mother, The annual general meeting was held on the s e o v i e i even g ,e e f an p Tuesday, res D President en e ttc in the e 9 c t i b i a , Mr. ir. h o e hn re Iploorbtinof the council stated that the position which the insti tutiou had now attained was most satisfactory. In the charter of incorporation granted in the year 1828, and in the by-laws and regulations based upon that charter, the designation of" Civil Engi neer" was made to embrace every branch of engi neering except that devoted to the military art, as the founders seemed to have anticipated that a time would arrive when, as a matter of course, every one desire in ny o waylimitationbse belong nu gld connectedtboe the e withintroduced,i institution. sti the tu t professionor restrictions r eTsthr iicst, oi n would s vba es urged, should d s b l e o d u il tacitlydirected might o se lid w at h e ich all departmentsoperate to render the objects less comprehensive; but efforts sh under one corporation, and thus to add materially to the power, influence, and importance of the profession at large. There had been 24 ordinary general meetings during the past session, when 12 "papers" only had been read out of those submitted to the council, owing to the protracted and animated discussions to which they gave rise. For these Tel ford medals and premiums of books had been awarded to Capt. Tyler, R.E., Messrs. J. W. Bazal gette, C. Reilly, E. H. Clark, T. Hawthorn, E. Fletcher, E. Johnston, G. 0. Mann, W. J. W. Heath, and J. Taylor, and the Manby premium in books to Mr. H. B. Hederstedt. About 300 volumes ebteeoderotonotshtaceornlntil,siy borne in mind, and no had been added to the library during the year, and a portrait of the late Sir William Cubitt, past pre sident, by Mr. Boxall, R.A., had been received from his son, Mr. Cubitt. A tabular statement showed that in the twelve months the number of elections had been 142, of deceases 21, of resigna tions five, and of erasures eight, leaving an effective increase of 108, and making the total number of members of all classes 1,203, being an increase of nearly 10 per cent. since the last annual meeting. From the abstracts of the receipts and expenditure for the year ending the 30th of November, it ap peared that the receipts from fees alone bad been £3,950 as against disbursements of all kinds of £3,511; while the income account was further in creased by the dividends upOn trust funds, amount ing to £353, and upon investments (not being trust) of £4OO, as well as from other sources to the extent of £350. The income from subscriptions and fees had been more than doubled in the last 12 years, and that from dividends, &c., was upwards of seven times what it was at the same period. The realised property of the institution now comprised :-1, general funds, £12,510 ; 2, building fund, £2,503 ; and 3, trust funds, £9,970, making a total of £24,983, as against £22,541, at the date of the pre vious report. By the will of the late Mr. Appold, whose interest in the welfare of the society was un flagging, provision was made for a sum of £l,OOO being conveyed to the institution on the decease of Mrs. Appold. The Benevolent Fund established in connexion with the institution 12 months ago had since been fully organised, and the donations received had amounted to £22,782, and the annual subscrip tions for 1865 to £712, being a little in excess of and an increase of 30 per cent. upon the sums pro mised respectively. In conclusion, reference was made to a private bill to besubmitted toParliament in the ensuing session, for which plans had been de posited and the usual notices served, as it appeared calculated to affect very seriously the interests of the institution. The'project alluded to was entitled " Houses of Parliament Approaches," and part of it contemplated the compulsory purchase of all the property on the north side of Great George-street, including the house occupied by the institution. The council felt it to be their duty to direct attention to this subject, believing it to be one which demanded mature consideration. Thanks were then unani mously voted to the president and other members of the council, as well as to the officers. The ballot for the council for the ensuing year resulted in the election of—Mr. John Fowler, as president; Messrs. Joseph Cubitt, Charles H. Hutton Gregory, Thos. Hawksley, and John Scott Russell, as vice-presi dents; Messrs. James Abernethy, William Henry Barlow, John Frederic Bateman, Nathaniel Beard more, James Brunlees, Thomas Elliot Harrison, George Willoughby Hemans, John Murray, George Robert Stephenson, and Charles Vignoles, as mem bers ; and Messrs. Joseph Freeman and John Kelk, M.P., as associates. London Impi ovements• The contemplated improvements in the thorough 'ares of the metropolis will effect a great alteration in their appearance. Some of these works have long been pioposed, while others have grown out of other gigantic improvements. For instance, the demoli tion of Northumberland-house is called for by the construction of the Thames Embankment ; and although the price fixed for compensation (£150,000) is very heavy, there does not seem to be any possi bility of making suitable approaches at Charing , cross unless this building and its grounds are pur , chased. The total cost of making this new tho- roughfare is estimated ht £190,000 ; but it is believed that the ground rents of the new shops and other buildings to be erected will go far to repay the expense incurred. The roadway along the embankment will here be 80 feet wide, and a large clump of trees will be planted along the road. There are a number of other improve ments proposed by the Board of Works, who, it may be added, reserve to themselves the right of approving of the style in which the shops and houses will be built. Between Hungerford and Waterloo bridges about 400 feet,of slime is being reclaimed from the river by the embankment, and it is n g intended a ere se e t o n t s p h p a r p o e p d r i a :n e w t h n i s f wide sho p s s , p t a r c e e n s b f y in b r iilndg the foreground.

High-street, Thepark- Park lane difficulty is to be conquered by pulling down the buildings from Gloucester House, the residence of the Duke of Cambridge, to 1, Park-lane, so giv ing this thoroughfare an uniform width of 70 feet, which is the same width as Cannon-street. The noble duke is to receive £65,000 compensation for the de struction of his mansion. The widening of Mansion house-street is, of course, absolutely necessary for the safety of the public ; and we hope this part of the bill will be agreed to as soon as Parliament meets. Notices have already been served upon the tenants and landlords of the property required for this im provement. Two plans have been prepared by Mr. Horace Jones, the City architect, for the new meat market at Smithfield, the one for an open and the other for a covered market. The first design repre sents a dome at each end of the four corners of the building ; there are about 217 shops, about 14ft. by 34ft. in size, in each plan. The towers in the plan for the closed market are much loftier and more imposing. In both designs there is a wide central roadway for general traffic. Fresh progress in the work of demolition at Westminster is made every day ; and it is now proposed to pull down the west side of Parliament-street, an improvement urged about three years ago by Lord Redesdale as an imperative necessity when the new Foreign-offices were completed. —Building News, THE FIVE-FOLD MUP.DER. - MAIDSTONE, Thursday. The trial of Southey was resumed this morning. Mr. Poland and Mr. Philbrick, instructed by Mr.-Pollard, the solicitor to the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution. Mr E. T. Smith and Mr. Blake Ellis, instructed by Messrs. Gold and Son, solicitors, 1, Serjerents' Inn, Chancery-lane, repre sented the prisoner. - Miss Elizabeth Clifford, the daughter of the pro prietor of the coffee-house, proved that the prisoner inquired on the evening of the sth for a bed, and came again on the Monday and' paid for_ the bed, bringing the children with him afterwards about ten o'clock. The chambermaid at the coffee-house was also called, and then a woman to whom the prisoner ap plied for lodgings at Ramsgate. • Mr. Hills, the governor of the gaol at Sandwich, and Mr. Emmer son, the surgeon, testified to the sanity of the pri soner, the latter gentleman stating in reply to the Judge that Southey always demeaned himself as an ordinary, reasonable person. During the ex amination of Mr. Emmersou the prisoner set up a loud wail of grief, shedding tears, and exclaiming, when the fit had passed, that he felt as if he suffered from a galvanic shock, and that he was a murdered man. In cross-examina tion by Mr. Smith, the doctor said that the fact of a person disguising bitnis'Or was pot indicative of insanity. He (the witness) did not think that the coolness of an avowal of guilt showed mono mania. Mr. Emmerson, and Mr. Hills, the gover nor of Sandwich Prison, spoke to the fact of prisoner being subject to fits of hysteria. Major Bannister, the governor of Maidstone gaol, also deposed to the apparent sanity of the prisoner, who objected on Sunday to attend chapel, as his religious views were not " yet settled and defined." Mr. Joy, the surgeon, also gave evidence as to the prisoner's state of mind, expressing an opinion that he was perfectly sane. Though subject to fits of excitement and hysteria, his capabilities were strong when the fit passed away,' and he was thoroughly coherent, though excited. The statement made public by the prisoner on the 14th of April, 1864, was read by Mr. Reed, the deputy-clerk of the peace ; and Mr. Poland said that closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. E. T. Smith then addressed the jury on be half of the prisoner, urging the defence of insanity, and called the following witnesses : Dr. Dolney, described as a physician and genera practitioner at Brompton, Chatham, stated that he had seen the prisoner a night or two ago; and as the result of the interview arrived at the conviction that his mind was " quite unhinged." There was, he said, a " wildness about his eye," and his pulse was very quick, which denoted a good deal of irritability and excitement. He had observed his demeanour in court, and had arrived at the conclusion that he was insane. It was possible, generally, to distin guish between real and feigned insanity, and witness said he could distinguish between them, and he should say that the prisoner was not feigning or putting on insanity. Assuming all the facts in evidence— The learned Judge—What facts? You must put specific facts to him to raise a question of science— that is, whether such and such facts are symptoms of insanity. But you cannot put all the facts to the witness, that assuming (as has been proved) that the prisoner went to the house and made an appoint ment with his wife for next morning, and kept the appointment, and came to see her, a nd went up stairs with her, taking a pistol with him, and then after talking with her some time shot her, and upon being instantly seized seemed calm and did not deny the deed, whether these are symptoms of insanity, or the contrary. The witness said he should say " they were symp toms of insanity;" an answer which, not withstanding the solemnity of the occasion, seemed to cause some general amusement. The prisoner's counsel then asked whether there was not a partial delusion which might overcome the moral sense and self-control of the individual. The witness said there was. The witness was then cross-examined by the counsel for the prosecution, and admitted that the prisoner spoke on common subjects, but his manner was rambling and incoherent. He admitted, how ever, that persons were sometimes so who were quite sane, and also that persons who were irritable and ex citable were often sane (answers which appeared to cause considerable diversion); but, he said, the priso ner seemed to be suffering under a delusion. He was then pressed as to what was the delusion he appeared to labour under; and upon this the witness, after a little hesitation, said he seemed " under delusions upon religious subjects," and that there was "no sense in him in that way"—that is; he explained, that he had no faith, no religious creed, and went on about Mr. John Stuart Mill. (A laugh.) Mr. Poland—What ! is it a proof of insanity to talk about Mr. John Stuart Mill? (Laughter.) Witness—Well, I don't know anything about Mr. Mill. (Laughter.) Mr. Poland—You know he is member for West minster, I suppose ?—Yes. The learned Judge—You don't assent to his doc trines, I suppose ? The witness—l don't know what they are. The learned Judge—l only want to know, when you say that his talking about Mr. Mill was a proof of insanity, how far you really go. Do you really mean that you are so impressed against his opinions (of which, perhaps, I know a little more than you do), that you think talking of them a proof of in sanity ? Or, what is it you really mean ? By what standard do you arrive at the conclusion that on this account he was " under a delusion?" The witness appeared to hesitate how to answer. The learned Judge—You said he was " under a delusion" upon religious subjects. Is it because he was without faith, and without a creed, and talked about Mr. John Stuart Mill, that therefore he was under a delusion ? Witness —No, I don't put it upon that ground. The learned Judge—Then pray explain what you mean by " delusion." What delusion ? Witness said he seemed to think that he had killed these persons from a sense duty. The learned Judge—That is, he said so. He told you that he thought so. Witness--Yes. He said he had done it from a sense of duty. In answer to further questions witness said the man had told him he was destitute and could not support them, and that therefore it was better to kill them ; and putting everything together—his wildness of eye, his rambling manner, his excited demeanour, and the way in which he spoke—he should say he was insane ; and so he should judge from his conduct and demeanour in court, his wish ing to conduct his own defence, &c. (A laugh.) Mr. Poland—Oh! that you think a proof of in sanity ? (A laugh.) Witness said, taking all things together—that among the rest—he thought the man insane. He was asked whether he did not think the tele gram a proof of sanity ; and answered that it might have been written in a lucid interval. The learned Judge—Should you say that his in sanity was chronic ? Witness—Yes. Then was it the same insanity as existed on the day you saw him which had existed for a considerable time ? Yes ; I should say so. Did it appear to you that he knew that murder was a crime ? It did not strike me that he did. It is proved that shortly before the act of homicide he said " Mind I had reproaches enough last night; let me have not more of them to-day ;" did that indicate any insanity ? No, it did not ; at that time I should say he was of sound mind. He is proved to have said just after the deed that if he had gone up to town he should have gone under sentence of death. Was he then aware that the punishment of murder was death ? Yes, he was. Taking all the circumstances together, should you say that at that time he had the sense of right and wrong ?—Yes ; I should think he had then. You w ould not say that hysteria was a proof of insanity ?--No. It is rather a proof, is it not, of weakness of the nervous system, and excite ment?—Yes, it is. Should you say that when he said what I have just referred to he knew that murder was a crime ?—Yes, I should say so. The prisoner's counsel suggested that perhaps the witness had not understood the lati er questions, and he was accordingly recalled, and the questions being repeated by the learned Judge, he gave simi liar answers. Mr. Fry said he was for some time medical at tendant at the Union, and had seen.many cases of insanity there ; and also for 27 years at the West Kent Hospital, He had an interview with the pri- SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

As we announced Sun of yesterday a ter , rible accident occurred at Merthyr Tydfil on Wed nesday morning in the Upper Gethin Coal-pit, be longing to Mr. William Crawsbay, of Caversham Park, Reading, and proprietor of the Cyfarthfa Ironworks. It will be in the recollection of many readers that about four years ago a similar catas trophe, but still more frightful in extent, happened in this place, by which 47 men and. boys were killed. The scene of that calamity-was also the Gethin pit; but, in order to make it clear to persons unac quainted with the place, it will be necessary to state that the Gethin pit comprises two systems of coal workings connected by two drifts or headings, and to a certain extent they have one system of ventila tion common to both. They are situated one above the other on the side of the mountain, the shafts being about 600 yards apart, and thus go by the names Upper and Lower Gethin, being worked as two distinct pits. In the lower pit, which was the scene of the former accident, two seams of coal are worked respectively 4 feet and three feet in thick ness, while in the Upper Gethin, which is about 200 yards deep, 70 yards deeper than the Lower Gethin, the 9 feet coal is worked. • The Upper Gethin, the scene of the present deplorable disaster, is a much newer pit than the Lower Gethin—in fact, it was sunk for the purpose of securing a more efficient and perfect ventilation for the Lower Gethin----and the workings have not beenvery far extended yet. There is only one up-cast for the two pits. The explosion on Wednesday took place in a heading on the east level, in which were about 40 men at the time, and out of that number no less than 30 have been killed. All the rest, with two exceptions, are burnt and bruised frightfully. The force of the blast was so great that it extended to the whole level and injured many other men, so that no fewer than 22 were more or less seriously injured. Of these, four are terribly bad cases, expected to terminate fatally. The acci dent happened about 8 o'clock, about an hour after the " day turn" hands had gone in. Nobody knows where it broke out, but an old stall is mentioned several colliers as having been reported " on fire," and it is said that the overman had warned the col liers against entering it in consequence; but no thing positive can be said on this head. Out of the 30 men and boys killed only three met their death by the fire, but these were scorched almost to a cinder, and their features were so obliterated that they could be hardly recognised. David Beddoe, the overman, who was not the regular overman of this pit, was killed ; he was fearfully charred, but his brother, who happened to be on the spot when he was brought to the pit's mouth, and had no idea of his being in the mine, recognised him by his watch. Out of the whole number working in the heading at the time only two escaped unhurt. These are John Hall and Thomas Hall, his brother. The former states that he worked at the furthest end of the east level, and was made aware of the fact that something serious had happened by hearing a loud " puff." He immediately left his work and went to warn his brother, but he had hardly time to do that before he heard another " puff," and then the air became all at once so oppressively hot and dense with dust that he fell down in a state of stupor. However he, along with his brother, roused himself, and by a happy circumstance they were saved. The elder, John, had his can of tea with him, and he had sufficient presence of mind to dash their faces con tinually with this which kept them fresh. By this means they retained consciousness and strength enough to find their way out of the heading to the bottom of the shaft. As they came along they stumbled over their fallen and helpless comrades, and although they repeatedly called to them, in no • solitary instance did they obtain an answer. The force of the blast reached even to the bottom of the shaft, for there two workmen were blown violently into the sump and sustained severe injury. This cir cumstance, connected with the fact that the fire did not reach John Hall, at the end of the east level, which does not run more than about 400 yards from the shaft would tend to show that the focus of the ex plosion could not have been more than a couple of hundred yards from the bottom of the shaft. The excitement in Merthyr when the news came up was intense, and people ran down to the pit in large numbers ; but it was a remarkable feature of the multitude of men, women, and children assembled at the mouth that there was no manifestation of that vehement grief which so frequently characterises such scenes. The crowd was quiet and orderly, and the quiet was broken only now then by the sob of a woman or a child. On the roadway in front of the shaft a space was cleared, and a lot of straw spread out, upon which the poor fellows were laid as they were brought up, and the system of Dr. Marshall Hall for the restoration of asphyxiated persons was practised upon them by Dr. Thomas, chief of the medical staff at Cyfarthfa, Drs. Wills, Dyke, Probert, and Miles. At the same time powerful restoratives were applied, but all to no purpose—the fatal choke damp, as the colliers call it, had done its work only too well, and the lifeless bodies were then removed one after another and placed upon trucks, upon which they were afterwards conveyed by the engine to Cyfarthfa, where their friends, who were most demonstrative in their grief here, awaited them. A very touching incident is related in connexion with this part of the melancholy affair. One of the men who were burnt (we have already stated that their features were literally obli terated by the fire) was taken to the wrong house. The poor wife was on the eve of confinement, and the shock was so dreadful that the pangs of labour came on at once, and she had to go to bed iu woeful state. Meantime, her friends washed the body and laid it out, believing it was the man of the house, but they had scarcely completed their mournful task when the husband of the horror stricken wife walked into the house hale and well. The scene may be better imagined than described. We never heard of its parallel. The charred remains were shortly afterwards removed to another house, and this time to the proper one. When the in telligence was communicated to Mr. R. J. Craw shay, of Cyfarthfa, Castle, the resident proprietor of the works, he, accompanied by Mr. Jones, the manager, and many of the agents, repaired promptly to the spot and rendered such aid as they could. Mr. Moody, the viewer of the pits ; Mr. Kirkhouse, mine agent ; Mr. Carnew, the viewer of Plymouth Collieries, and the relays of workmen, exerted themselves heroically for the recovery of the bodies, and by 11 o'clock, three hours after the sad occur rence, the whole of the men had been brought up. Mr. Moody, the viewer of this pit, was also viewer of the Lower Gethin at the time of the accident there. As to the cause of the present catastrophe speculation is rife, but nothing positive can be stated until an investigation has taken place. It is worthy of note, however, so fa r as it may be attributable to carelessness on -the part of one or more of the workmen, that a very important case was tried in the Merthyr Police-court last week, in which two workmen were charged with tampering with their lamps in this very pit. The evidence against them was not conclusive to the satisfaction of the magis trate, and they Were dismissed. How far any such negligence may have had to do with the present ac cident it would be premature to say. An inquest will be held on the bodies, and no doubt facts will then be forthcoming upon which an opinion may be founded as to the cause of this lamentable affair. PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd.
