very position in which it had been upset ; and onward, on the. left-hand side, was.the body of the horse-box, with the pannels slightly injured on the sides, the back part burned, and the front broken completely away. The engine was removed, it appears, from the spot to the Cambridge side of the Chesterford station. En passant one may be permitted to observe, without attach ing the shadow of blame to any ene concerned, that it would appear ju-t and reasonable to leave the component parts of the wreik as near to the place of accident, and as they lay re speetieely, as the convenience of the public traffic admits of; for it is eelfseeident that such an observance would facilitate the • übsequeht investigation. After General Pasley had minutely examined the state of the carriages, &c., he proceeded to view the spot of the acci dent. On measurement, it appeared that it was 103 yards from where the first jump was felt and the spot where the car riages were forced off the rail. The point, then, of considers 'ion was, whether the accident was occasioned by excessive Speed causing such a violent oscillation as eventually to throw the carriages off the line, or a turning up of one of the rails, caused by the immediately-preceding train. On this General Pasley offered no opinion. The general feeling in the neigh bourhood is, that the train was going at considerably upwards of thirty miles an hour, to make up a few minutes of lost time. The engineer declares, on the other hand, that the speed was not more than twenty-eight miles an hour. General Pasley gave no opinion as to the,cause of the accident. It appears almost miraculous how the passengers in the second-class carriage, so dreadfully injured, as already described, could have escaped not only without loss of life, or limb, in a single instance, but absolutely without a wound or a bruise worth speaking of--yet such is the fact. Some of this resulted from the calmness and presence of mind displayed by Mr. Jackson, the contractor of the line from Brandon to Cambridge. This gentleman was in the coupe in front of the first-class car riages, with a lady, Mrs. Balfour, of Norwich. In the very first, instance of the shock he held her back in her seat by min force, and prevented her from being sent through the window in front. When the upset took place he got in stantly out, find having extricated his companiotwhe proceeded to assist the ether passengers, and each, who had anything like presence of mind, as they got free lent a hand in emanci pating their companions. As might be expected, a great many, especially of the female passengers, were dreadfully prostrated, and it took some time to bring them to a sense of the fact that they were far more fi ightened than hurt. it was a singular fact, that amongst the first to escape, and before Mr. Jackson could get tram the carriage in which he sat, were three children, who went through the window of one of the second-class carriages, one after another, as if they were shot out, and landed on the bank, perfectly unhurt. When it was perceived that the horse-box was on fire in the rear, the front was judiciously broken in, and the animals jumped out, and were thus saved, without hurt or blemish. The poor stoker, Richard Peat, bad taken this his first trip on the North-Eastern line as an experimental one, being a driver on the Midland Counties. He was a fine young man, and, melancholy to relate, had only been married six months. His body now lies a' the Falcon inn, Littlebury, awaiting the inquest, which will be held to-morrow (this day ), by Mr. Lewis, the coroner for Essex, at eleven o'clock. It is worthy of particular remark, and challenges the atten tion of the directors of the various lines through England, that General Pasley observed to-day to Mr. Anson, and the other officers of the company present, that if there had been any engine behind as well as before, " the whole train would have been settled." These were his emphatic words, by which, to those who may not see their force, he meant that the carriages would have been, with every human being in them, smashed to atoms. General Pasley and Mr. Phepps (the engineer of the line), after about an hour and three-quarters investigation, left for London in the two o'clock fast train, and arrived shortly before four o'clock at sshoreditch.

To the other disappointments and abandonments of the session is to be added the following strange report from the Game-law Committee :—" The Select Com mittee appointed to inquire into the operation of the game-laws, and to report their observations and opinion tii,,r,upon to the house, have made certain progress in the matter to them referred, but, owing to the advanced period of the session, have not been able to bring the inquiry entrusted to them to a close, but recommend the re-appointment of the Committee next session." This Committee has sat from nearly the beginning of the ses sion—and the question is not so laro but that, with the wilt to do so, the inquiry might have been brought to a (dose. The question, moreover, is divisible into portions ; 1 there is the distinct head of injury to tenants' crops, another distinct head of injury as to the morals of the poor, :and a third distinct head of the administration of game-laws by game-lords. One, at least, of these dis tinct portions of the inquiry might have been completed, thrie had been a will; or the Committee might have pri! , ted the evidence already taken, which world have I been the means of diffusing much information, and o f setting people a thinking during the vacation. Th e minutes of the proceedings of the Committee, printed with the report, tell us that Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS moved the printing of the evidence, and that his motion was rejected by five to three. The names of the ma jority and the minority will satisfy the public that there were good public reasons for printing the evidence, and that class interests were concerned in withholding it. Mr. CHARLES -VILLIERS was supported by Mr. BOUVERIE and .Mr. Drtve.m. ; while the five who opposed him were Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, Lord G. BENTINCK , Mr. F. MACKENZIE, Mr. CRIPPS, and Lord CLIVE. On the first three of these five names we need offer no remark. Mr. CRIPPS and Lord CLIVE, of course, voted 'with their party. Mr. BRIGHT was in the chair. But we cannot help regretting that more of the Liberal Members of the Committee should not have attended pn this occasion. Where were Mr. MILNER GIBSON, 2fr. CAVENDISH, and Mr. TRELAWNEY ? Somehow or other, the enemies of the public are never caught napping. - • It has been a general subject of conversation, during the sitting of this Committee, that some of the Tory THE SUN, LONDO Members of it, especially Lord G. BENTINCK and Mr. G. BERKELEY have pursued a course of sytematic insult to the witnesses against the game-laws; and this being so, it is not difficult to conceive why these gen tlemen should have been anxious to keep back the evidence. No sooner did Mr. BRIGHT announce his intention of calling a witness, than inquiries were sent to his locality, with a view t.) find out everything which by any possibility could be made a means of annoyance to him, and he was subjected to h cross-examination by Lord G. BENTINCK with which no Old Bailey practice would compete. A respectable solicitor, who furnished the Committee with his experience of game-law con victions, was harassed with innumerable irrelevant questions about his professional practice, and then taunted with being a gaol-bird. Another witness was in plain terms told by Lord G. BENTINCK that his morality was very lax, because he could not view poaching .with the full degree of horror Hhich it kindles in Lord GEORGE'S most innocent mind. A tenant of Lord FORESTER'S was subjected to a rigorous cross examination under the e 3 e and s%ith the constant promptings of Lord FORESTER'S brother. Such pro ceedings as these are surely never contemplated in Committees of_ the House of Commons. If information is to be ,licited by Committees, witnesses must be pro tected from insult. No man can have read the statement which was wale a few nights ago, by Lord PALBIERSTON, on the state ~f the. capacity for defence of this country, in the evezlL of any hostile descent upon any part of its coasts, with out acknowledging that the Noble Viscount made out an undeniable case f:dr the adoption of some precautionary arrangements and preparations—by no means incompa tible with the maintenance of our amicable relations with all the Powers of Europe—but not to be longer delayed, in the face of certain aspects presented by the attitude of a neighbouring State. When Sir ROBERT PEEL ventured to read the Noble Lord a lecture on the ill-considered timing of this speech, and put on (me of the long faces of his official prudery, in order to rebuke his Lordship's imprudence at mooting a matter which might be deemed so disagreeable in the French Cabinet, the Right Hon. Baronet must have forgotten that it had been already much insisted upon at the close of last ession, and , recurred to at the commencement of the present one, by his own leader—the Noble and Gallant Duke, the Commander-in-Chief. It was quite consistent _ . with the usual Parliamentary tactics of the Premier, to endeavour to turn off the attack on the policy of his Government, implied by the animadversions of Lord PALMERSTON on the neglect of such precautionary pro visions as he directed the Right Hon. Baronet's Eaten- Lion to, by declaiming on the constitutional aversion of the people of England for a large standing army. But Lord PALMERSTON did not ask for its increase. was all in the way of the Premier's manner, to call off the House's attention from that which it should be directed to, by taking credit for the fact, that at no time i had our navy been in a more efficient condition than , it was at present. It formed no part of Lord PALMERSTOWS statement to declare that it had been. But Sir ROBERT PEEL gave no tangible assurances — advanced no counter statements, either to meet the sug gestions or to disprove the averments of Lord PALMER.. STON. What was the nature of these averments ? That France now maintained a standing army of 340,000 men, fully equipped, with a large cavalry and artillery ; that in addition to these she had, in Paris, " nearly 1,000,000 of National Guards trained, disciplined, reviewed, equipped, clothed, and accustomed to all the fatigues and duties attendant upon a time of - war." He reminded the House that the English Channel could now be crossed in a few hours, and that the navy of France was, (in the Noble Lords opinion—we trust and believe an erroneous one,) "in every respect superior to ours ; that► she had a steam navy capable of transporting 290,000 men ; harbours inaccessible to any foreign powers for the safeguard and refuge of this fleet ;" and " immense bodies of disciplined men around these har bours regularly and always stationed." These are very grave facts undoubtedly ; facts to excite the most serious reflection. But we do not see that because they are such, therefore, the Noble Lord is justly amenable to the cen sure of Sir ROBERT PEEL, or the silly sarcasms of cer tain French journals, for alluding to them. It is one thing to create a danger, it is another boldly to look it in the face when created. Lord PALMERSTON can no more be justly taxed with a desire to excite, or keep up, feelings of hostility between this country and France, by reason of merely touching on these notorious statistics of ' foreign forces, than with being the father of the childish boast in the journals in question, that a French com mander would not require more than 40,000 men, after tasking a successful descent, to move with upon London itself. The facts and the foolery are equally beyond his control. Now, what were the suggestions' that followed upon the statements of the Noble Lord ? He assumed that, notwithstanding the present amicable condition of our relations with France, questions of extreme delicacy and difficulty might, at any time, arise, in reference to which it was highly expedient that we should not be wholly unprepared for whatever emergency, might arise. On the contrary, for the more unembarrassed discussion of these questions we ought to be in a state of efficient pre paration. We ought to have harbours of refuge ; we ought to have our naval arsenals put in the best condi tion of defence. It was said those several corks are in progress. If it was so, it was matter of just congratula tion ; and it. was to be hoped that those preparations would be vigorously carried out to their full and efficient completion. But here were the discouraging truths to be most seriously taken to heart by our Government, and to be dealt with as they required to be :—First, That our own steam navy was still in a very deficient state ; we had no disciplined bodies of men, stationed near to the coast, as in France ; and, in case of an invasion being attempted, it would take at least three months to get our steam fleetinto such a condition as to be available to repel the enemy. Secondly, That we had no disposable military force at band, independent of that portion of our limited standing army which was at home, to cope with any military force that any enemy might once succeed in landing on our shore. Now, to remedy this deficiency, the Noble Lord proposed that we should have recourse to the most constitutional of all the means of military armament in this country at all times—namely, the re embodiment of our militia. What adequate objection there can exist to this course we cannot imagine ? The expense of embodying one-half of that force, and of giving them the necessary training and equipment, Would apply only to the soldiers and non-commissioned officers. There would be no lack of volunteers among the officers, and officers commanding, to provide their own equipments, if due encouragement were extended by the Government to gratuitous offers of that kind. The country we are sa-‘ tisfied would, on the one hand, be well content to bear the necessary charge of such a proceeding ; and on the other, be fully prepared to require that all existing branches of the public expenditure not indispensable to its service, should be required to contribute to defray the charge of this, which undoubtedly is of that nature. As for Sir Robert PEEL'S 50,000 able-bodied pensioners, so many of them as could be really assembled and orga nized for such a purpose would form the best possible nucleus for a militia force, which they would so essen tially assist in bringing rapidly into good discipline and efficiency. Without - some such a militia force—without some better guarantee for the immediate construction of harbours of refuge, and the renovation of our batteries, arsenals, &c., that we can accept Sir ROBERT'S vague pro mises for, we shall still conclude with Lord PALSIERSTON that we are utterly short of that condition of prepara tion and defence which the extraordinary attitude both of military and naval organization that is now assumed by France at once justifies us in adopting, and most as suredly precludes her from complaining of. Madrid papers to the 30th ult. have arrived. According to the Postdata, several persw.s %verc arrested at Madrid on the night of the 29th. Among others an othcer named Luis SEGASTI is mentioned. The Espectudor states that the Government had gi% en orders to literate Messrs. ConRADI and CALXO, the editors of the Clamor I'ublico, who were confined in the chateau of St. Catherine, at Cadiz. The journals vary in the accounts they give of the objects of the Malaga conspiracy. According to some of them it was organised by General NouuLhas, who is at Gibraftar, and its object %%as to secure the re! urn of I: sPARTERo to power. According to others, it was int rely a com binatio❑ for smuggling on a large scale. The plot had extensive ramifications throughout Anda lusia, and couriers bad been dispatched to Jaen, Gre nada, and Seville, by the conspirator:, to announce the insurrection. It is stated that some of the leaders of the plot, including URA, a lieutenant, and the advocate CARDERo, brother of CAYETANO CARDERO, alto pro. moted the insurrection at ',Aadrid in 1833, have escaped to Gibraltar. Many persons connected with it I;ave been arrested, and a letter flow Grenada of the 26th states that the news of the execution, u, thirteen of them was hourly expected in that city. A telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne announces that the Queen of SPAIN and the Court had arrived, on the 2d instant, at St. Sebastian. She only stopped a few hours at Tolosa. Since the above was written, we have received the Madrid journals of the 31st ult., but their contents are unimportant. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.

The Duke and Duchess de NEMOURS arrived at Perigaux on the Ist instant, and were enthusiastically received. They spent the next day in visiting the prin cipal places in the neighbourhood of the town, and arrived on the 3d instant at Libourne. The Prince de JOINVILLE commemorated the anniver sary of July ou the 27th ult., at Randan, by giving a splendid fite. The Moniteur Parisien states that the inauguration of the Duke of ORLEANS' statue not having taken place at the time appointed, in consequence of the works not being finished, the ceremony is postponed to the month of October, for the anniversary of the expedition of . Biban. _ M. PARANDIER has been elected Deput' for Mon t elaTd (Doubs), in the room of M. TOURANGIN SILAS, resigned ; M. DE GOULARD, for Bygneres (Hautes Py rere2s) ; and M.

They are all of Conservative principles, According to the ConstituUdisnel, Admiral DE MACKAU is the only Minister who will tccompany the KING to Eu, but the other members of the Cabinet will succes sively visit the royal residence. There are to be unusual fetes at the Chateau d'Eu this year—balls, theatrical representations, and concerts. The pupils of the Con servatoire have already had notice to that effect. The Ville of Bordeaux steam-packet, which arrived at Marseilles on the Ist instant from Algiers, brings word that the Duke D'IsLY (BUGEAUD) had left the camp of Airo-el-Arba on the 25th ult., and proceeded against the trite of the Beni Ouagenouns, on whom he inflicted a severe chastisement. The harvest has pretty extensively commenced in the neighbourhood of Paris. 'I he rye is fur the most part cut ; the oats are in progress ; and it is probable that the wheat will be all down this week. The crops appear to be very good, both as regards graio and straw, and par ticularly the wheat and outs. Ths rye is less remark able, but the crop will be lather more than an average one. In some parts the corn has been laid by the rain, but the only mischief anticipated from it is a little more labour for the reaper. The journeyman carpenters, at a meeting which they held on Sunday, refused to accept the mediation of the Prefect of the Seine, which had been unanimously pro posed by the Council of the Syndical Chambers of the master-builders, in its sitting the preceding day. The Courtier Fraquis states that a preliminary in quiry is to be opened in Paris in a few days, to take into consideration the feasibility of a scheme for construct ing a railroad across the capital, to connect the termini of the Orleans, Lyons, Strasbourg, Northern, and Rouen Railroads. The extent of this line, which it is proposed to carry along some parts of the Inner Bottle yards, is estimated at 8,250 metres, and the cost at 5,362,0001.

The Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Besborough, Lord Beaumont, and a few other peers, met at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of swearing witnesses who are to be examined be fore the Select Committee on the London and York Bill. Having sworn about twenty witnesses their Lordships ad journed. There were only two Committees sitting to-day, and they are to inquire into the allegations contained in the petitions presented to both Houses in reference to the London and York Bill. Both are private. The Committee of the House of Lords sat at No. 2, at eleven o'clock. The following are the members of it:—The Marquis of Clanricarde, chairman ; Earl Bathurst, the Earl of Devon, Lord Beaumont, Lord Churchill, the Earl of St. Ger mans, the Marquis of Winchester, the Earl of. Auckland, the Earl of Ellenborough , Lord Ponsonby, Lord CalthOpe, Lord Redesdale, and Lord Monteagle. The Committee of the House of Commons, consisting of five members, Mr. Hawes, the Member fer Lambeth, in the chair, met at eleven o'clock. The avenues leading to both Committee-rooms are filled with anxious crowds of witnesses and persons interested in the inquiry. Among the witnesses examined before the House of Lords this morning, was Mr. Shackell, a half-pay officer, who was ensign in her Majesty's service, and who was examined before the Committee of the Dublin and Galway, or Irish Great Western Railway. What the nature of his evidence was the reporter cannot of course say, but before the Committee re ferred to he swore he had signed railway subscription deeds, during the last twelve months, to the amount of 50,0001., and being asked what his means were, he answered his half-pay 501. a-year, and 30/. as a pension from the Charter-house. He was asked where he served while in the army ?—He replied at home. On the subscription deed he appeared as of . 4 Ockwell House, Maidenhead, Berks." On cross-examination, it turned out that he lived at the Charter-house, and that Ockwell House was his brother's residence. He was asked what he did with the shares ?—He answered that he got rid of them as soon as possible, as he did not think it a prudent thing to keep them on ais hands. No public Committee sits to-day, at least none appears on she paper. The Standing Orders Committee does not meet. CORN AVERAGES.

OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT. --Her Muje.,ty and Prince Albert, desirous of having the estate in which the above house stands, and which coosi.ts of about 1,500 acres, thoroughly drained, had Mr. Webster's new patent hand-pipe and tile-machine exhibited and explained to them. After seeing its operation, they expressed their approval, and in structed Mr. Webster to carry out their wishes. attention paid to the works in this part of the country. Could see by the rubbish and damage that the force of the con cussion was like a charge from a cannon. Believes that the explosion came from some place not properly ventilated. The witness explained—perhaps some old workings. Said if he had the management - that he would adopt a different system, but could not make it safer under the present system of ventilation. Thinks Mr. Enoch Williams perfectly capa ble, as he had been under him at Dowlais for seven years, and was recommended to Mr. Powell by witness. In answer to a question by a juror—He did not consider that it is a proper thing to allow the return air to traverse the main headings. Considers that the pillars cannot be worked with safety without gas drifts. David Jenkins called in and examined—Has worked in the colliery, in John Owen's heading. Went in on Saturday morning at six o'clock, and did not hear of the explosion t e ill he had left his work, about two. Left earlier because of not seeing the hauler so long: Was about 600 yards from the explosion. The air was as good as usual with him ; never saw better air, and thinks the pit was properly ventilated. Jacob Thomas called in and examined—This witness's evidence merely went to elucidate the nature of the pump, its size, lift, size of the reds, the places they occupied within the pit, &c. This closed the whole of the evidence. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ABERDARE, NEAR MERTHYR TYDVIL, WEDNESDAY MORN LNG.—The jury assembled at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, and their names having been called over, they were sworn to inquire into the cause of the death of Howel David, aged 20, he being the first body found. Lewelyn Elias was the first witness called, who deposed as follows :—ls an underground agent, clerk, and cashier, and has been such for two years, to Thomas Powe ll, Es q ., of the Gaer, to whom the Crombach colliery belongs. Knew the deceased, who was a hauler, and saw him alive on Saturday morning last. The colliery had been at a stop about 21 months ago, in consequence of a slight explosion of gas. De ceased had been a hauler about two months, and was haul ing from the heading with one horse only. There was a door-boy going into the heading with deceased. Witness was going in to measure on that day. Saw the deceased in about two hours after the explosion. (The plan of the col liery was now produced.) Witness pointed out upon it the spot where the explosion took place, in a place called Thomas the Park's heading. Witness, at the time of the explosion, war in another place called the Dip heading. There were working at the time twenty-four colliers, two labourers, one hauler, and a door-boy, in eighteen stalls and two headings. The distance from•the bottom of the pit to the face of the headings is about 600 yards in a direct line. (Witness here pointed out by a reference to the map the ways that the air traversed through the workings. He also expressed a diffidence, and wished to call Mr. Thomas Williams another agent, but his examination was resumed.) The air is conveyed by the airways to the extreme points of the headings, and returned along the main level to the up gas pit. Witness could not explain any more relative to the airways, but all the bays were walled up. After the explo sion, consulted with Mr. Enoch Williams, and they pro ceeded on. In a short time met men and boys . crying out just where the explosion had taken place. In answer to a question by a juror, as to whether there would not be a greater security by sinking another pit on a higher point of the surface, the witness answered he did not think there would. In answer to another juror, whether there were any old stalls worked below those where the men were burnt, the witness answered in the affirmative, and their bays were all walled up with brick and mortar for fear of accidents. In answer to a juror, whether the air was sufficiently strong to clear off the gas in the old stalls, witness could nut say. 'f he distance front the headings to the first stall now being worked is about 150 yards. The stalls are driven to the west of the beading in consequence of a fault in the ground, and they do not run parallel with the cross headings. Thinks the gas is allowed to ooze inside the bays. There are airways driven to the fault. When the gas oozed out it would come to the main road. Examined the air on Saturday morning, and found it quite fresh. In answer to a juror, witness considered it quite safe to go to any part of the works. In answer to another juror, witness said he did not try the return air, but thought it good, from being enabled to use a naked candle, and the air also perfectly fresh at the bottom of the winding pit, about three hours before the accident. The main road for the coal is also that which conveys the main returns of air after traversing the pit. Never saw the main returns so bad with gas as to explode,except once, about twenty-one monihsago, and that was after an explosion. Cannot statewhat was the diameter of the down-cast pit. The size of the pi esent lift of pumps,is 14 inches diameter, and put in use in the course of the last month. The previous lilt was smaller. Does not know the quantity of water in the pit. The main air road is sto 6 square feet. Was not in the heading that exploded, as Enoch Williams, another agent, has the care of that. In answer to a juror, as to whether the stalls between the heading and the fault were full of gas, witness could not say. There have been no stalls drawn back in this colliery, except two or three. Thomas Williams called in and examined—ls a mineral agent to Thomas Powell, Esq., whose colliery exploded. The witness was requested to give, by a reference to the map, a full and accurate description of the air passages. Having done this, his examination was resumed. Witness went by a circuitous route to the heading where the explosion took place, and found six bodies blown by the force of the con cussion in a position from east to west. Saw that all the bays were blown out. All the bodies, save that' of Jobn Edwards were not where they were working. Howel David, the deceased, was found nearer the pit's mouth by about 300 yards than where he worked. Found six bodies in a stall leading to a little heading, and through which the air passed to air it. Considers those .were the most severe]) burnt of any. Is of opinion that the explosion took place either by a sudden change indicated by the baro meter, or by a fall in the old workings driving out the gas, which came thereby in contact with the naked lights or candles. No other parts of the workings show the least marks of an explosion. The extent of the explosion was about thirty square chains. In answer to a question by a juror, whether they worked by night ?—Could not say. The size of the down-cast pit is 9 feet by 7, that of the up-cast pit 14 feet by 9. The dis tance between botb, 22 yards. Depth, 93i yards. - - The-size of the fire-furnace, 4 feet in height ; from bar to arch, 5 feet by 4 feet wide. The air is allowed to escape by another way than that of the furnace. Distance of the furnace from the up -cast pit about 10 to 11 yards. The surface of the furnace is 20 square feet ; considers is sufficient for it purpose, and is attended to day and night by a proper person. Never knew the air to explode in returning from the workings. Knows the pit perfectly, as he superintended its siukaig. In answer to a question by a juror, as to whether Messrs. Wayne and Davis's pit would not be a safe ventilation for the Crombach pit ?—Thinks it would. Dues not consider that the colliery workings could be in a safer state on the present plan of ventilation than they were three hours before the explosion. In answer to a question by a juror—Does not think any other plan of working the colliery could be adopted with the present system of ventilation. Witness is =not practically acquainted with the system pursued in the north-of Eriglink; of taking the gas that escapes into a gas drift, and allowing it to rise to the surface without its coming in contact with flame of any kind. Does not consider it necessary here, or that we have need of it. The whole of the workmen used naked lights. The works were tried in the morning of the explosion by the two regular firemen, who do so every morning. He should sav the loss to Mr. Powell from the damage would be from 150 i. to 200/. David Edwards called in and examined—ls a collier at Cyfarthfa since he was six years old. Never worked in any other place. John Edwards, one of the killed, is a second cousin of his. Went down to the pit on Saturday to try to get him out, but could not find him. When down viewed the headings and stalls of Thomas the Park's heading ; they had fallen very much. Examined the, airways. Never saw better air ilt his life. Tried the fireedamp•by- the Davy lamp on Sunday evening after the accident, - Never saw if, so bad in any place ; could not possibly be worse. Would as soon work there as where he works now, except that there might be strangers there, who might be incautious. Re quired more caution than any place in Cyfarthfa owing to its being more inflammatory. Thinks the air was good till ten ()clock on Saturday. Could not say where it exploded. Thomas Howell called in and examined—ls a fireman at the Crombach colliery, and it is his duty to examine the works as to the state of the gas. Went in at twenty minutes to five on Saturday morning ; shortly after exa mined the heading where the explosion took place. There was another mart in the pit a little before him but not usually so, but the other man wanted to go to Merthyr. They were together, but he was a little before the witness at the bottom of the cross headings. Witness was the first person that went on Saturday morning up the heading that exploded. Went to the face of the heading, and found the air good in all the stalls, and also in the other headings. Perceived no difference that morning to any other morning. Went to breakfast, and came back about nine. Was in the colliery when the explosion took place at the end of the level. Had his candle blown out, and knew by that there was an explosion. Met a good deal of sulphur. Relighted his candle with a match, and kept it lighted, running as fast as he could until he reached one of the other headings. Has been an underground workman for six years. Was ap pointed to that employment because of being the workman longest in the colliery. In examining the stalls, marked every one that he considered dangerous. Marked several that morning by the usual mark which he used, that of plac ing a mandril across the road. Came in the morning after the examination out through the four-feet stall, with the Davy lamp covered. Perceived no danger. James Thomas, the man who was with him early, had a lamp unlit. James Thomas asked him how it was? He said as well as usual, and then uncased his Davy lamp to give James Thomas a light. After the examination of every place in Thomas the Park's bead ing he returned to the stall, and to James Back's heading ; there found James Thomas waiting at the separation of Thomas the Park's heading and James Back's heading. Witness went through the old stalls on Wednesday last; saw nothing unusual then. Cannot say what was the cause of the explosion. Enoch 'Williams called in and examined—ls an under ground agent, and has the care of Thomas the Park's head ing, and was through it on Friday morning before dinner. Went down into the pit on Saturday morning, and went thence to the cross measure drift, which runs across the mea sures to the vein called Ffosyfran coal. Was in the dip heading within three stalls of. its face, a distance of about 400 yards from Thomas the Park's heading, where the.ex plosion took place. (The witness, at the request of the Co roner, traced upon the map the direction of the air passages throughout the whole colliery, and this so clearly, as to satisfy the jury.) Saw nothing extraordinary about the air that morning, except being a little thicker than usual ; meant by that, the candle carrying more head than usual ; but had seen it much worse. Told Lewelyn Elias, who was with him, that they had better go back. Saw all the col liers running towards the pit's mouth, and he stayed until the whole had passed. Saw .on the main way two bodies, which he thought were dead, by which he stopped. After re-lighting the Davy-lamp. which was naked at the time of the explosion, he went back to the level, a distance of 250 yards. Told some of the collie rs to carr y the bodies out. They did so. Witness came back then from the pit's mouth, and fixed a temporary door to force the air forwards towards the headings. There are about 150 men in the colliery. There were about ten working on Friday night. Thinks the explosion took place owing to a fall in the old works. Thinks it would have been safer if there was a pit sunk in another place higher up. Several questions were put to this witness by a juror, as to the quantity of gas in the old works, and why it was there ; but there was nothing eluci dated as to the cause of the explosion. Thomas Seymour called in and examined—ls a mineral surveyor. Saw the colliery about three or four months ago. In answer to a juror as to his present occupation, he said that he had been surveying for several gentlemen lately. Wrote a lean to Mr. Powell stating that he wondered that he did not ventilate his colliery properly. Had been laying wagers with Mr. Enoch Williams about this colliery. After sending the letter, he heard that the air was changed in its manner of tra versing. The CORONER here interposed, and stated that he was most anxious to give every latitude in the examination of the wit nesses, but all the answers which had been had from the pre sent witness bore, in his opinion, no relation to the cause of the explosion. Mr. Seymour then referred to the map as to the ways of the air traversing, but The jury, after considerable desultory conversation, coin cided with the Learned Coroner as to his evidence being irre levant to the present inquiry. Thomas Heppel called in and examined—ls an agent at the Lantwit colliery for Mr. Powell. Has inspected the Crom bach colliery by his orders, and made a report to him about three months ago. Has also been in since the explosion. Went on to the upper part of the headings by- a circuitous route. Thinks the explosion had taken place to the east of Thomas the Park's heading. Believes that the gas oozed out nd stole upon the candles. Thinks there, is pot sufficient The Learned CORONER then addressed the jury, and alluded to the deplorable nature of the accident, and paid the highest tribute to their intelligence, and the care which they had taken to have a thorough investigation. He also briefly but very lucidly stated the law as applicable to these sort of matters, and then went on to recapitulate the evi dence, pointing out to them those portions bearing more im mediately on the case under their consideration. The jury retired, and were absent for about an hour. When they returned their names were called over, and asked were they unanimous, and the Foreman (Matthew Wayne, Esq., ironmastcr, not William Thomas, Esq., as mentioned iu my report yesterday), having answered in the affirmative, delivered in the following written verdict " That it is the opinion of this jury that the deceased, Ilowel David, came to his death from accidental circumstances, and that this jury are of opinion that the present system of ven tilation employed in the Dyffryn or Crombach Colliery, though as perfect as the said system will admit, is inade quate to ensure the safety of tle lives of the men employed in the said works, and they strongly recommend that a sys tem which will prevent the gas from oozing out of the old or abandoned workings into a tram road air-way, may be adopted in preference as soon as possible." Mr. Enoch Williams was called in and sworn as to the identity of the rest of the bodies, and, the same evidence being applicable, the same verdict was returned in each of the causes of their deaths. - Thus ended this important inquest. It lasted from about eleven in the morning till ten o'clock at night; and every thanks are due to the Learned Coroner and the superinten dent of the police ( Mr. Berner), and the policemen, for the facilities which they gave, and the accommodation given to the reporters for the public press. It was everythii:g that could be wished, and we have reason to believe that the mariner in which it. was conducted by the Learned Coroner, and the impartial and intelligent jury, met the unanimous approbation of all classes of persons. The rest of the bodies were buried yesterday, and the mournful catastrophe is now left only to be recollected by the relatives of the unfortunate persons, so prematurely cut off, making all, even the strongest and wisest, to bear in mind that " in the midst of life we are in death." ANOTHER ACCIDENT. A man, named John Williams, was killed in one of the Cyfarthfa pits yesterday evening, by a fall of stone from the top. MONEY and CO VILVIERCIAL NEWS C./TY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bags, including 1,000 for export and on speculation. The market was steady, and prices remained the same. Shares were very quiet, and lower. It will be observed, by a reference to our advertising co lumns, that a most, influential Company has been formed in the City for the formationof a project (provisionally regis tered), named as the City of Toronto and Lake Huron Railway." When we state that the Governor of the Canada Company is at the head of the concern—that John Easthope, Esq., is also an active member of the Direction, it is scarcely possible to doubt but that the immense advantages of rail way communication will, in a very short time, be enjoyed in the Upper Province of Canada. A clever little work, entitled " Commercial and Financial Legislation," has just been sent to us, and is well worthy of perusal. The introductory paragraph is as follows : " It has been asserted by some writers that it matters little the article taxed ; it is, they say, the amount that is to be considered. We, however, hold that the mode and manner of collecting may be rendered extremely obnoxious as well as injurious to the people, although the gross amount collected may be comparatively less. His (that is Mr. Mac g:-egor's) propositions are to, curtail the numberless trifling imports, and to trust to those articles that produce the large amounts. In the Customs he proposes to retain only eight articles in the rate book, and to abolish the Excise in the bargain. Mr. M. proposes also to abolish the assessed taxes, except the unredeemed land tax, and to revise the stamp duties. Incredible as this may appear to some persons, a perusal of the pamphlet will convince any one who will take the trouble to read it, that it is perfectly practicable. There exists in this country a number of petty annoyances —a host of surveyors, assessors, and collectors—who contri bute but little to the revenue, but prevent thousands of families from obtaining a livelihood. Mr. Macgregor and others have done much by their labours to benefit the com munity, and we look forward to the period when much more may be accomplislieds'l-,, The Market for Conscilsima been heavy to-day at a fall of from 1% to % per -grit.
