SUBSCRIPTIONS are greatly needed to relieve the numerous families made destitute thereby. The amount required to meet the memorable Hartley Colliery Accident in 1862 was £50,000 ; in that case 204 men and boys lost their lives ; in the present instance double that number are known to have perished, there fore to make a suitable provision for the families depen dent upon them about £lOO,OOO will be needed. At the final distribution of the surplus of the Hartley Fund, £3,140 was allotted to the districts in which the present accidents occurred, and this sum is now available towards the fund now being raised.

A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £4OO for the best cartridge. The qua ities which will be principally taken into consideration in awarding this prize will be economy of manufacture, power of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration in various climates, and general serviceability. The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con sidered as those above-mentioned. It is clearlyto be understood that under no circumstances will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the service. 11/.: MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS.

The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment, and that the name of the individual with whom it' origi nates shall bewecorded in convection with it. if the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted Ato the service, it will bear the inventor's name.

DOM MIGUEL, KING OF PORTUGAL. (From the Westminster Gazette.) A tourist in Western Germany, passing through Heidelberg or Wurzburg, can easily make an interesting excursion to a charming wooded valley hidden deep in the solitude of an old German forest, where Dora Miguel, King of Portugal, found a hospitable reception while awaiting the close of a life full of vicissitudes. At Bischofs heim, lately devastated by the Prussians, the Wurzburgh and Heidelberg railway meets a lovely little river, the Tauber, and the traveller on de scending the valley of the river (a branch railway is now in course of construction there) will soon reach the ancient Cistercian abbey of Bronnbach, a town in which he will find a comfortable inn. It is four English miles above Wertheim, where the Tauber falls into the Main. The abbey came into the possession of its recent proprietor, Prince Charles von Lowenstein-Wertheim -Rosenberg, in consequence of political changes, and with the Papal sanction ; he resides himself on the lovely banks of the Main, at Henbach, near Aschaffen burg, and his now widowed sister, who was mar , ried to Dom. Miguel, at the old abbey of Bronn bach. The abbey is but little changed, and the interior arrangements that meet the eye of the stranger remind him more forcibly of the monas tery than of the Prince's palace. Here the illus trious pair dwelled long together with their many children, and with but few attendants. They were distinguished in the eyes of the world only by their piety, their charity, and their affability to all. Dora Miguel especially was remarkable for an almost excessive goodness of heart, at all times and under all circumstances, and to such a degree that his political adversaries were quite at a loss to reconcile his life and character, as manifested here during a long course of years with the preva lent myths of his government in Portugal. They unreservedly declare that, according to all human experience, it .is quite impossible that such a public character could ever turn out such a private character. " Who can believe," say they, " that this noble, modest, conscientious, and amiable man who has been living among us for years, and whose private life and character every one is forced to honour, should be the sanguinary despot of Portugal ?" The explanation is simple enough, and to the unprejudiced inquirer has long ceased to be an enigma. The works of political partisans honoured with the title Of historical annals are worthless productions, through which party prejudice succeeded formerly in England, and still more in Germany, in confusing and mis leading the public opinion of the day. Even now, when death has overtaken the aged but still hale and active prince, while engaged in manly field sports in the forest of the Spessart,—even at such a moment, when a sudden death (though, God be praised, not an unprovided one—for he never let the highest, the last ends of his life out of view) — had just released their noble victim from his earthly banishment, some harsh voices are raised to re-echo the old cry about the Portuguese tyrant. But the people here are still too uncorrupt, possess too much good and honest feeling, not to be stirred with the deepest indignation, at hearing such demoniacal outcries of party hate and party prejudice. Our simple-hearted townsfolk, though conscious of not being able to see their way through the mazes of politics, are not less in dignant at the impiety, as well as the indelicacy, at the present moment of such unw orthy attacks on the deceased Prince. " What do we know," do they exclaim to one another, " about revolu tionary struggles in a foreign country, where one party has succeeded in driving out the other ? Those who abuse the loudest have generally the worst conscience. As soon as the Prussians drove out the King of Hanover, see how the Prussian papers were filled with abuse of him. To us Dom Miguel came as a stranger, robbed of his kingdom and of his property ; where is there an individual in the country who can accuse him of ever having in the least injured or offended him? Who can say that Dorn Miguel ever let an opportunity of doing good pass by unnoticed ? How many have to thank him for benefits received, although he was far from wealthy ; in the late devastating war no poor wounded soldier lay in the neighbourhood of Bronnbach without receiving from thence help and comfort for soul and body !" This is the kind of dirge which our honest towns folk and country people sing in honour of the exiled Sovereign. And I believe that every right minded man, whether political adversary or not, must join in the simple expression of popular feeling. I am myself no political adversary of Dom Miguel, but am a friend of unprejudiced historical inquiry, and I believe that to such of your readers as have failed to obtain an exact and strictly historical account of the revolu tion, to which Dorn Miguel fell a victim, a few words of explanation will be useful. Those, to whom this history is not new, will pardon me for bringing forward facts, with which they are as well, if not better, acquainted than myself ; they know how difficult it is in these days for truth to withstand the flood of falsehood that pours down upon it on all sides from a thousand sources. True it was a party struggle to which Dom Miguel fell a victim. But we owe it to him above all to have these parties placed in their true light— to show that the parties engaged in this struggle were no other than that of right and of injustice, of legitimacy and of revolution, of Catholicism and of freemasonry, of national independence and of foreign intervention and preponderance. Dorn Miguel, the second son of Dorn John VI., was neither ignorant of nor disputed the ori ginal claims of his brother to the throne of Por tugal ; he only erred in having, through ignorance of his own rights, acknowledged the claims of his brother Dora Pedro when those claims no longer existed. According to an undisputed law of the kingdom of Portugal, the elder brother, in the year 1825, forfeited his right of inheritance to the kingdom of Portugal. Dorn Pedro had rebelled against his father in Brazil, but on the 15th of October, 1825, concluded a treaty with him, by virtue of which Brazil 'ceased to be united with Portugal, and became an entirely independent kingdom ; it was agreed upon that after the death of Dom John VI., Dom Pedro should ascend the throne of Brazil as Emperor. From this moment Dom Pedro ceased to have any right of inheritance in Portugal, by a fundamental law of the country when a King of Portugal dies leaving sons behind him, and bequeathing an independent Crown as an inheritance in the family, the Crown of Portugal falls to the second son, and he alone, as legitimate heir to the throne of Portugal, is entitled to claim an oath of allegiance. In March , 1826, King John died. But no one was less acquainted with what passed in Portugal and Brazil thanrt Dorn pointment is not to be wondered th e confident an was rendered all the m ore bitter by assurance with which they had awaited the suc cess of their fine-spun machinations. A prince, who in service of the revolution is willing to cast off the holiest obligations, and to tread under foot the faith of treaties , such a prince may, indeed, ga ther around him from a ll sides a crowd of par tizans, praising and exa ltin g him, the idol of the day, because, rising superior to prejudice, he has discerned his historic mission, and made the true welfare of the nation, the development of civiliza tion and political progrefo, the oole rule and guide NEW PATENT VLASTIC STOCKINGS , 4124 KNEE-CAPS, &c., for Varicose Veins and all cases of Weakness and Swelling of the Legs, Sprains, .tc.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 11.1—The market for ship ping yarns has again been quiet, and to make sales rather lower prices would have to be taken. There have been offers for very large quantities, but at prices too low to be accepted by spinners, who though easier to deal with are not yet in a position to be beaten down over much. The prices of Tues day implied in many cases a loss of 2d. to 3d. per lb. on yarns, and both spinners and manufacturers find that to sell they must submit to ruinous losses. In yarns there is a strong disposition to business. For home-trade yarns the market is very quiet. Business is to some extent kept in check by manu facturers not knowing what course their workpeople will take in reference to the proposed reductions of wages. The little business done has generally had to be effected at prices slightly in favour of buyers. In cloths there is exceedingly little doing, and there is almost a suspension of business. Buyers keep aloof from the market, and appear unwilling to make offers at rates which would be likely to be accepted. A feeling of uncertainty as to the extent of reported commercial disasters in China, following upon the failure of Dent and Co., has a bad effect on business. CARDIFF, 10M—In consequence of the late-se vere weather the quantity of steam coal exported for the foreign markets shows a slight falling off. There is, however, a good demand. Shippers com plain of the :scarcity of tonnage on offer, although the docks are well filled with vessels. This arises in consequence of the lowness of freights, and until they become more remunerative such a want will continue to be felt. There is a very large inland traffic carried on in Welsh steam by the railway companies, which would be still larger if there was a sufficiency of accommodation . House coal meets with an average inquiry, and a good business is being transacted on coasting account. In the ir3u trade there has been no change for the better, and many makers find it difficult to keep their mills and PILICE.... ld. STAMPED sd. Miguel ; he had no idea that the Crown of Por tugal fell to him by right. Long before, in the year 1824, the Infant Dom Miguel had been forced to quit his fatherland, in consequence of the unhappy party struggles that distracted Portugal. lie resided in Vienna, and the dominant party in Portugal took care that he should be kept in the hands of people who would never permit him to learn what they desired to keep concealed from him. And this advantage the party insidi- ously made use of to obtain from him a renunci ation of his rights to the Crown of Portugal. He fell into the snare laid for him, and solemnly pro- mised to fulfil what they desired ; he acknow ledged rights in the existence of which he undoubtedly believed, although their existence was illusory, and he failed to guard or claim rights (his own as well as those of his people) of whose existence he was not aware. The enemies of the young and inexperienced prince believed him to be inextricably entangled in the meshes of the net they had woven for him with wondrous subtlety, but the texture of it was not as strong as it was fine. He was required totally to renounce certain rights, and was to remain ignorant of those rights. His promises were grounded on a totally false basis, and yet promises 'so made were to be held binding on him !, The partisans of the revolution in Portugal had carefully prepared their schemes. The father of Dom Pedro had scarcely breathed his last when the thendominant revolutionary party proclaimed that prince King of Portugal. Ile _ _ overthrew the ancient constitution of the country, and set up a new revolutionary constitution in its stead. It is true the Portuguese people rose up and loudly protested against these changes, but revolutionists succeeded, with the assistance of England, in stifling their efforts to right themselves ; warned .by this opposition, and by the attachment they now perceived the nation cherished for their rightful prince, the exiled Dom Miguel, the party changed their tactics. Through the influence of England they induced Dom Pedro to renounce his pretensions to the Throne of Portugal in favour of his daughter. Their plan was as follows :—Dora Miguel was to return home to be betrothed to Donn'a Maria, and to be Regent during her minority. What ensued? On the 22d of February, 1828, the deluded Infant arrived in Lisbon, and scarcely had he assumed the Regency when a fresh popular insurrection broke out, and this time of a strength to overpower all resistance. The truth, that had been so long kept back from Dom Miguel, now burst upon him ; he saw how he had been duped in Vienna ; how he had acted without knowing what he was about, in acknowledging a claim which was founded only on usurpation ; how he had made promises which he ought not to make, which he ought not, could not, keep without violating the Constitution, without sacrificing the most sacred rights of the nation. He heard but one opinion from the mouths of all: the same was avouched by the bishops of the Church, was averred by the great nobles of the kingdom, was confirmed by the first lawyers of the land. In truth, all Portugal—the great majority, at least, of the nation—was decidedly in favour of the righteous cause of their legitimate prince ; the minority consisted but of a portion of the towns people, who, under English influence, had been corrupted by the machinations of the secret societies. As soon as Dom Miguel was con vinced of his claims, the nation was restored to its rights. In June of the same year the ancient Cortez assembled in great numbers, and declared that, according to the order of succession estab lished in Portugal, Dom Miguel was the legitimate successor of his father. Thus was law and order restored in Portugal. Dom Miguel reigned six years as a truly national prince. He governed as a Catholic prince of a Catholic people. He restored to the Church the possessions and the freedom of which the revolution had robbed her. No wonder, then, that the Church recognised in him her most faithful, her obedient He displayed on the throne of Portugal the same qualities which distinguished his character down to the latest period of his life, when we had the privilege of becoming personally acquainted with him. His character was one of unshaken, undaunted rectitude and of deep religious feeling. At all times modest and full of moderation, never provoking discussion, he only now and then revealed by a word, or an animated and expressive glance, the feelings with which he watched, from his distant rural retreat, in the bosom of his peaceful and happy home, the development of the mighty events which had agitated the world since his downf al. The clearer and the more indisputable the title of Dom Miguel according to the fundamental laws of the Portuguese constitution, the louder rose the clamour of his adversaries about the breach of the promises made in Vienna. Their bitter disap of his actions. But let a legitimate prince ensnared in the nets of a revolutionary faction, deceived and betrayed, succeed at length in freeing himself from their thraldom, let him, retracting invalid and un lawful promises as simply inoperative, retrieve as soon as possible the error he committed in making them, then, forsooth, against such a prince the cry of broken faith may rightly be raised and pro pagated far and wide. Upon falseness like this comment is needless. But there is another view we cannot leave en tirely unnoticed. Many a man of rectitude may exclaim, not without a feeling of uneasiness, " True it is, Dom Miguel was legitimate King of Portugal, the promises made at Vienna could not, ought not, to prevent him from acting as he did in Lisbon ; yet it was at least a proof of levity that he "allowed himself to be seduced into making such promises. This reproach will ever weigh heavily on him." Well, we acknowledge this to be pretty nearly our own opinion, although we are not per fectly informed on the subject, and have reason to believe that hereafter these transactions in Vienna will be placed in a clearer light. But, allowing that this prince had been guilty of an act of youthful indiscretion, this circumstance could not have the slightest influence on the question of right, which is the question now chiefly under con sideration. Neither do I believe will the image of this fine character be dimmed in our memories by the recollection of these transactions in Vienna. If a single individual among the many men of rectitude who may ever become acquainted with the history of the much -agitated and c hequered life, can say that his ow n y outh was entirely guilt less of a similar weakness, then I hope he will not make the remark without heartily thank almost ing un for a ;happiness so great, so rare, heard of. son. ---- -- ....—T2.- -- -- - - - THE SEARCH OF PASSENGERS' LUGGAGE.—The following memorial, numerously signed, has been presented to the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer:—" Sir, ---We beg to urge upon your considera tion the desirability of substituting Custom-house surveil lance, through detective or other officers, for the practice of individual and personal search of baggage at the ports and iu London, in the case of travellers by railway between London and Paris for the seven months of the Great In ternational Exhibition of 1867. The concession suggested involves the comfort and convenience of several hun dred thousands of her Majesty's subjects, and of Americans and other travellers from abroad passing through England on the interesting occasion offered by the Emperor for the assembly of people of all nations at Paris. It cannot mate rially affect the revenue or prejudice the future practice of the Custom-house, as the concession is to meet an excep tional case, in which the duty of co-operating to make the Exhibition in every sense a success must be admitted by her Majesty's Government. It is understood that the Go vernment of the Emperor, placed under far greater diffi culty than our own from the fact of their much larger number and heavier scale of customs duties, will mate rially modify their system of search during the Exhibition and are also ready to discuss the whole question with you on the principal of reciprocal action ; and we cannot doubt that you, on equally enlightened views, will sympathise with our object, and be led to deal with any technical or departmental difficulties which may present themselves." .~~t-r-~ The Dungarvan Riots. DUBLIN, Friday Morning. The inquiry into the catastrophes resulting from the above riots was resumed on Wednesday morn ing. A man named Curran, a shipmaster, was tfie first witness examined. His evidence was of the same character as that of the previous witnesses, quite exculpating the people and condemnatory of the soldiers. He stated that when the voters and their military escort came up, he saw AlajorWomb well, who was in command of the Lancers, attack two men, on whom he used hissword freely, but the witness could not say whether he used the edge, back, or flat of it. The men tried to force them- selves between the rails of an enclosure in order to escape from him, but did not succeed. Before that assault there was no attack, either on Major Womb- well, the voters, or the soldiers. Mr. Cornelius Redmond, proprietor of the Water ford News, was next examined. He described the entry of the voters, who, he said, passed on quietly through the crowd on the bridge, who left them ample space, and only shouted as they passed. The noise, he said, was rather a buzz than a shout. There was no attempt to take the voters from the escort. After they had passed the crowd closed in again, and then the Lancers turned round and plunged their horses among the people, sto3ping forward, and holding their lances in their hands. The people ran away, and the Lancers rushed after them "as if they were going into battle." The crowd was much smaller and quieter than he had ever seen at any election, and the witness had seen many contested ones within the last 20 years. In his opinion, the management of affairs should have been left to the police, of whom there were quite enough to preserve order without the military, and. who " understand the people better" than soldiers do. " The Lancers," said the witness, " looked fierce and determined. I never saw men look so fierce as they did when charging." Dr. Anthony, who attended :O'Brien ately after the receipt of his fatal injuries, describcd the nature of them. There was a circumscri:Ded swelling on the left side of the back of the 'head, over the occipital hone. On pressing that portion of the head he appeared to wince, as if lie felt. I infer from that that there must have been some ex ternal violence used to cause the injury. There was no abrasion of the skin at all ; it was only puffed, and it must have been caused by some round, hard. instrument. The butt end of a lance would do it,. Were there any other marks upon him ?—A xery slight abrasion or excoriation over one of the eye brows. That might be caused by a fall on the ground: Would the injuries that you saw on that man be sufficient to account for his death ?—I did not see sufficient external appearances to lead to the con elusion. Concussion may be caused without any external appearance at all. Do you believe that this man's death was caused by the blow on the head?—l do. I did not hold a post-mortem examination. Between fifteen and eighteen people had wounds dressed in my estab lishment during the day of the election. I only dressed four or five of them myself. The injuries that I dressed appeared to me to be lance wounds, piercing the hat and scalp, and stopped at the skull. In two or three instances the wounds, which were from a sharp-pointed instrument, pierced the hat and the scalp, and stopped at the skull. Those were instances of old people. The wounds did not go farther than the skull, fortu nately for them. They were all old people whose wounds I dressed, with the exception of one young man that got a blow inside my own door from the end of a lance. I did not see him get the wound, but I came up at the time, and he showed me the wound. It was on the side of the neck. He told me that he received the wound when he ran into my hall for shelter. Two of those people whose wounds I dressed had their hats pierced, and another had a scalp wound about 2iin. long. Dr. Anthony stated that the concussion of the brain might have been produced either by the man falling on his head when knocked down by the horse, or by a thrust with the butt of a lance. Some con troversy arose as to whether a lance-butt could inflict such injuries as the doctor described, and the jury desiring to examine the weapon for themselves, it was arranged that a lance should be sent for to Cork, where the regiment is stationed. Another witness named Connery stated that he was struck and knocked down by two lancers, each of whom cut him about the eyebrow. He sported a small bit of sticking-plaster on his forehead, but on examination, even with the aid of a candle, not the slightest abrasion could be discovered. He saw " girls and childs" shaking their hands at the soldiers, and saying, " Down with the Tories !" The evidence of the next witness contrasted in many particulars with the unvaried tale of military brutality and popular passiveness so often repeated. He was a very intelligent man, named John Martin, and was highly complimented by the agents on both sides, and by the coroner, for the candid and straightforward manner in which he gave his testimony. On the day of the election he was working as a carpenter at the new bank, where he had a view of the scene from one of the windows. There were about 500 people in the vicinity of the bridge, and when the voters approached the advanced guard of the lancers rode forward to drive the people back, and then stones were thrown at them. The lancers then rode among the crowd at a gallop, striking the people, some using the lances crosswise, and others the butt-ends. They drove the people into a timber yard, and then stones were thrown thickly for about a minute, but before they first essaye d to j drive back the people there was not a stone thrown. He calculated that at least 100 stones were thrown. (This statement caused great sensation in the court.) The stones were chiefly the size of those broken nn the road, but many of them were three times the size of a macadam paving-stone. After the lancers charged the stone-throwing continued for a short time. The persons within the timber yard threw stones at them until the police got in and drove them out to the strand. As the yard was being cleared the lancers broke the gate and got in, but even then the stone-throwing did not completely cease. About 20—what appeared to witness the last volley—were hurled afterwards. Four witnesses were examined yesterday. Dr. Hunt believed that the concussion which killed O'Brien was not caused by a lance. Mr. Greene, resident magistrate, Monaghan, deposed that stones were showered like hail, and that the troops acted with forbearance. Similar evidence was given by Mr. Maguire, magistrate. A labourer swore that the deceased threw a stone at the lancers immediately before he was knocked down. It was reported yesterday in Dungarvan that a m an named Maguire, another of those injured, had died. The Waterford Mail says that th e con duct of the stipendiary magistrates and the military during the late election riots is likely to be investi gated by a special commission. Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Evening. The great meeting of the ironmasters of this district was held here to-day; the floor of the Town-hall was crowded, and the trade in every department, including those who are connected with it in other iron producing districts, was well represented. There was not much business doing, for the reason that nobody knows what course to take, while a difficulty with the men is threatening, so that the impor tant business of quarter-day was almost reduced to no thingness on that account. There was, however, suffi cient inquiry ou the part of home customers and others to lead to the conclusion that if the mon accept the terms offered to them a moderate amount of business may be done. So fax as relates to this day's meeting, however, it was characterised by extreme quietude, but with much de sultory talk in reference to the future. The transactions in pig-iron were on a lhnited scale :it is at all times difficult to quote the price of that article, re gard being had to accuracy, because of the exceptional circumstances under which it is sold, and especially so at this moment ; but wo place the ordinary all-mine iron of South Staffordshire at 675. 6d. to 70s. per ton that is, from 2s. 6d. to ss. per ton below the price of last quarter day, and not taking into account cinder pigs, the extreme class ton. assof iron now referred to will be f r r a o n m ge 6 o 7s f . p 6 r d iee . to 82s. the B2s. per In reference to the threatened strike, it is thought to be not improbable that, as a preliminary measure, it will be attempted at some three or four works. If such should be the case, it will most likely bo met on the part of the mag., tars by a general lock-out, U
