The formation of a Direct Main-Trunk Railway, for the im portant purpose of connecting the north of England and Scotland, by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon, after mature Investigation and conviction of the public advantages such a line of communication. The line will commence near King's-cross, in the New-road, the most central situation in the metropolis, both as regards the West_ end and th e Ci ty; it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, St. Neots, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by Stamford, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west of Sleaford, ani east of Newark, to Lin cola, and thence by Gainsborough, Thorne, Snaith, and Selby, to York. The distance by it between London and York wilt be lSe miles. will be about 20 miles shorter than by any other proposed line. t will reduce by 89 miles the present distance between London and York, and will consequently by the same distance bring New castle and Edi n b urgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance saved between L ondon and Hull will be no less than 43 miles. It will form the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, Bradford Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus commanding the traffic of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, 111 h. well as the traffic from. the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln. e ire, and the oth er agricultural districts through which it passes. Taking Its co urse through a highly productive country, it em braces all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin colnshire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis. Itopens an easy communication between Norfolk and Suffolk, and the West and North of England. The line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the drainage of the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important Markets and towns of that district. The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great rnagnitude on the line. The guage will be the same as the exist ing lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time In travelling will be avoided, as the line will be an integral trunk line under one management. The expense of construction being moderate, and the distance so much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample profit is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are prepared as evidence for Parliament. The capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4 ,000,000/., is a sum exceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above those of the present time. The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March last, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with Many other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully brought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to form an opinion on such matters, and finally the:prospectus, accom panied by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of April, 1844. This prospectus and map show the London terminus at King's-cross. At this date there was not before the public any other project for a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more than a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the Prospectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam. bridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to that time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York) Changed their title to that of the London and York Railway Com renr, and their stated capital, which previously had varied from 2,500,000/. to 1,600,0001., was then, for the first time, named at 4,000,000/. In their new prospectus the London and York Con. Pany also adopted King's-cross for their London terminus. Of the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro. rooters of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and London Company were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem her of their Committee on the 18th of May last, and signed by the Seer, tary, Major Amsinck. A trap of the London and York Railway was, however, pub. Ished in the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of the Promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to appropriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line of the Direct Northern Railway. Still the project of the London and York Railway Company falls very far short of a direct line from London to the north, as will be seen from the following data:— Fre* London to York the distance by the present lines of rail oray is 219 miles; by the proposed London and York line, stated to be 200 miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway. 180 Valles. During the progressof this undertaki ng , a very large proportion of the landowners on the line have been communicatedw t it a h t , and Consulted In reference to it, and the full concu rrence of h Portant int eres t is , with very few exceptions, co nfidentlyrelied on. Public attention having been lately drawn th awn at thtotehy ar ea e in a eon. P r inciple, the Committee wish to observe dition to take advantage of that principle, should it eventually be shows lobe for the benefit of the undertaking.

E very explanat i on, also, will be afforded with segar h d e te the traffic and other matters. __T ....tPi Parliamentary plans, c., are in course of preparation, and 1) !

LONDON and YORK RAILWAY. Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed " DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is not more than two miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 1851 miles. Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1836, and in that year carried into Parliament. That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis. sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted; were explained by him to Mr. Aeckett, Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties ; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub scribed, ana its shares has attained a high premium in the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter-project, and with the mis-statements here disposed of. All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com. mittee, be idle. Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public, is an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the Provisional Committee of the - London and York Company, pub lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

This new copper money, just coln'd at the Mint, Is something which furnishes many a hint. . When we look at a coin so remarkably small, We're rather surpris'd it was issued at all; But when we examine the facts of the case, We see how the new introduction took place. No doubt such a ihing was judiciously done, To accommodate dealers with MOSES and SON. You must know that vast thousands repair, ev'ry day, To purchase our clothes in such boundless display. And this is no wonder. For all will confess That we rival the kingdom in cheapness of dress. To the very " last farthing" our profits were brought, And if " that" were deducted, why we should have nought, But since the " half.farthing" is such it " good hit," E MOSES and SON will the difference split. And the public shall purchase of MOSES and SON, Choice snicks lower than ever they've done. • As soon as we saw the small coin from the Mint, We were not at all backward in taking the hint.

T HE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient in the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES ; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the Patent ones, or, that the imitators are infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman or other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. acid Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, widen they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are sow so WellknOwn to the Public, that it is hardly necessary to state here that they barn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so large an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may be had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom ; but purchasers must insist on being supplied with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to be deceived with Some of 'the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite."

BRIGHTON, OCT. 2.--At two o'clock to-day three of her Majesty's private carriages, containing the Prince of Wales, the Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, accom panied by Lady Lyttelton, and attended by the nurses, drove from the Pavilion to the railway terminus,. where the royal, party were received by the Hon. Mr. Murray, Master of the Household, and Mr. Thompson and Mr. Cooper, two of the Directors of the Railway Company. A carpet was laid from the carriages to the special train, across which the Prince of Wales walked very leisurely. The party . having taken their seats, and the private car riages having been placed upon trucks and attached to the rear of the train, the engine, which was driven by Mr. Cubitt, took the train in tow, and started from the terminus precisely at a quarter past two o'clock forNew cross, whence the royal party were to depart in the pri vate carriages :for the Paddington station of the Great Western special train to Slough, where the private carriages and th a ey werey, t o and resume by proceed to Windsor. The quarter to two up-train, which %vas somewhat behind its usual time of starting. was ordered to remain in the siding at Hayward's-heath, so as to leave the main line op,n for the uninterrupted progress of the special train. The train consisted, as on the arrival of the royal children three weeks ago, of the state carriage, which is magnificently fitted up. with a table in the centre compartment. and placed between two first-class carriages. The engine was decorated with the royal standard, and the train started amid the cheers:of the spectators. We are happy to add that the • royal children are enjoying excellent health. , THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT THE HAS - WELL COLLIERY. HASWELL, TUESDAY EVENING, SEVEN OCLOCK.— The inquest was resumed this morning at ten o:clock, and continued -all the day. The foll Owing evidence was taken. It creates immense interest in the dis- trict, .and numbers of people from all parts continue to flock to the place, to ascertain particulars on the spot. This is the most fatal colliery explosion that ever happened in the Durham coal-field. Mr. MARSHALL said he was instructed by the owners to state that they were anxious for the fullest inquiry, and after hearing the evidence produced, if the coroner and jury think it necessary that the pit should be viewed by impartial professional men, they will readily afford every facility for that purpose. Mr:Roberts said he would merely repeat the appli tion he had made last night, that persons approved by , the pitmen should make an examination as to the con dition of the mine. Robert Beaney lives at Haswell, and is a miner. He worked at that part of the mine where the acci dent Occurred. He was there on the morning the accident happened, and has worked there for six weeks previously. Was at work in the low headways on Saturday morning, and left it about ten o'clock in the morning ; the ventilation was then good. Has worked seven years and a half in the colliery. The whole part of the coal is worked with candles, which he considers safe; the broken is worked with lamps. Has always considered the pit one of the safest be has ever' been down. When he left work he met with about fifteen other men leaving their work, and not one of them expressed any fear of approaching danger. lie puties go down the pit with every fresh shift'of inen ; the duty of the deputies is to go round and timber the places where the men are at work, and to see that everything is safe, and. as a proof that they do this, one of the sufferers, George Hall, was in witness's place a little before he left work for the purpose of examining that place. Has not been further than the flat since the accident happened, and cannot speak as to its cause. Up to the time he left there' had been no want of ventilation, and where he worked he had a sufficiency of air. Has been in the habit of taking out juds and when falls of stone have frequently taken place, but cannot say that any inflammable gas es caped at those falls, because he never saw any such appearance on the lamp. If any came it was taken off by the current of air that was flying through the pit, at the time. The current of air in this pit has always been stronger than in any other pit in which he has worked. Has seen a Geordie lamp, but never saw it used. Has always considered the Davy lamp a safety to him if the indications it gives when gas is present are attended to—there is then time to get away. The Davy lamp is safe, so long as the gauze is uninjured, if it be properly attended to. When the lamp indicates gas their orders are to come out im mediately into the fresh air. Can attach blame to no one, neither individually nor collectively, for this sad occurrence. I have heard men working in the whole part' of...the mine complain of too much air, and when working:in narrow places the current of air was fre quently so great that the men had to request the de puty to leave the brattice back a little, which would have the effect of throwing less air into the workings. At that part he considered the ventilation too strong for a man to work. By Mr. Roberts—When he speaks of ventilation he speaks of the parts in which he has worked, but he has worked in various parts.at different times. IVas last in the pit about two A.M., on Sunday last, the air was then rather thick and coarse at the place where the accident occurred, but a strong current of fresh air was then travelling; the air was not so foul as to ignite at the lamp. Foul air may collect in a waste, and men working in other parts of the pit may be unaware of it. When a fall takes place, and any quantity of gas escapes, it is generally called a blower ; has seen gas come off at other collieries where there was no fall at all. Cannot say when the blows have come off that any previous indication was given. Re collects one coming off at Waldridge Fell pit, and no previous indication was given when the man left who was at work at the place. Has not been through every part of the pit where persons were killed since the accident. Has only been through a small part of the pit, as far as the Meadows flat and Brockley Whinns flat. It is possible the accident may have occurred in some part of the pit where he has not been since. In the part he has been, has seen no in dications of the accident having arisen there. Thinks the explosion has taken place in parts where he has not been. Only speaks as to the state of the ventila tion where he has worked. It is his opinion, when he left work there was a suffi2ient current passing to carry off any gas that might escape. There is a person appointed to examine the lamps when they go into the pit to work to see that they are safe, and this has always been done. The deputy locks the lamp if he considers it in a safe state. All the lamps he. has seen at the colliery have had locks upon them. I Boys who are plate cleaners have lamps, and boys of twelve or thirteen years of age, use them when they are employed as helpers up. It would not be safe for the boys to have candles. Way cleaners carry the lamp, but helpers up suspend the lamp on a prop. Boys under fifteen or sixteen years of age would do badly without a lamp ; it is necessary for them to have a light to work with, and a lamp is decidedly safer than a candle. The way cleaner's work lies from place to place, and it is necessary for him to move his lamp with him. Has seen way cleaners stick up a candle and work away till they were in the dark, and then shift it, and the same with the lamp ; he means the candle in the whole, and the lamp in the broken—this was in other collieries. Has never seen way cleaners do their work without lights. There were no inexperienced men working in the broken where the accident occurred—that is, men who were not pitmen previous to the strike. Has never heard any complaints from the men as to the boys having lamps. Has heard pitmen since the strike complain of men, not practical workmen, being employed in the waste. There were men to inspect them, and therefore no responsibility rested on the strange men, and, if any danger was there, these strange men were not aware of it. These complaints were made in the course of conversation. These persons did not express themselves as apprehensive of danger from the strange men working there. If they did apprehend danger, it would be their duty to complain to the master wasteman. The murmuring he has heard if there was danger, those men not being aware of it, they might hazard their own lives and the lives of all down. Never heard the master waterman say he had taken three strange men into the waste. If the hewers had any complaint to make they should have made it to the first deputy overseer they met with. If the men generally in the pit apprehended danger from the waste, it was their duty to complain to the first officer they saw. Does not know any man who would not have the courage to make a report of danger when he thought such was about to occur. Never knew Mr. Forster refuse to examine into the complaint of any man upon the col liery. If each of the three strangers in the waste had an old pitman with them, he would not consider any danger was then possible and is aware that there are experienced pitmen working with the three strangers in the waste. A great responsibility rests on keeping the waste clear. By Mr. MARSHALL—The place where the way cleaners are is the most unlikely part of the mine for gas to accumulate in. The way clearers have fre quently to nail the tram plates when they are loose, which would be difficult to do without a light. This witness, who was upwards of two hours under exami nation, gave his testimony in a very satisfactory man ner, and though subject to a very annoying cross examination, nothing material was elicited from him bearing on the facts. Joseph Short lives at Haswell, and is a pitman, and has been employed eight years and a half in this pit. Was last at work on Saturday morning, and came up about half-past eight o'clock. Was working the Brockley Whinns course, and had worked there six wesks previously. Had worked in the third wide board at the Brockley Whinns Flat. The state of the ventilation previously, and up to the time he left, was as good as it could be. Had not the slightest apprehension of danger from any cause. 'Worked with a candle in the whole part. There had not been the slightest indication on the candle of inflammable air. Has been down the pit since, about half-past four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Has been in the broken at the Meadows Flat. The distance from there to the place where candles are used is some hundred yards. There was no danger in working that part of the pit where'he was with candles. Had not worked in the broken since the strike. Has not been quite so far as the Meadows Way-end e si d nce o th n e explosion, and cannot s a y where it nne siders the Davy lamp a perfect safeguard coi'l i e fthe indi cations it gives are a ttended to. Wouldirather prefer the Davy lamp to an y other. Has carried his lamp from place to place through a strong current of air, and has never seen the flame forced through the gauze by the current. When he was down the pit he saw no indications where the explosion commenced. Has always found the ventilation good in those parts of the pit where he has worked. Has never heard during the eight and a half years he has worked in the pit any complaints made by others that the ventilation was bad. It was one of the safest pits he was ever in ; but has been in other pits where as little gas was given off as in Haswell pit. Mr. Roberts rose to say that he had no wish to hear any more evidence of the same character. Mr. Marshall was ready to gain all the evidence they could from the men who worked in the pit, particularly those who left it a few minutes before the explosion took place. Thomas Joplin—Lives at Haswell, and had been employed two years and a half on the llaswell pit previous to the explosion, and on Saturday last left the pit about twenty minutes before the explosion, Had been working in the Brockley Whinns flat, on the third board of the rise side, and has worked on that board for the last month. When he left work he saw no fault at all with the ventilation, and had no • fear of an explosion. Came out by the Brockley Whinns flat, and sat five minutes talking to the keeker, and took his low with him as he went along, and if there had been any gas it would have been indicated by the candle, but he did not see any such indication. The ventilation was as good as possible. When he came out from the Brockley Whinn's Flat, he met the current of air at the Meadows Way-end. The current was strong. Knows the rise side of the Meadows Flat, and thinks the current of air was sufficient for that flat. Has never had occasion to complain of want of ventilation in that part of the pit where he worked, and has never heard others complain. Went down to the pit again about four o'clock on Saturday, and has since been at the Meadows Flat, nod the Brockley Whinn's Flat, and saw twenty men lying dead there in the straight on headways of the flat. The bodies were not burnt at all. Nicholson, who was at the heed of the flat, was burnt on the head. Nicholson was putter in that flat. . Did not see any appearances in that part of the pit that the explosion had commenced there. Thinks the explosion had commenced at the Meadows, because all the stoppings had been blown in by over towards Brockley Whinns Flat. If the explosion had taken place in the Prockley Whinns Flat, the stoppings would have been blown the contrary way. Knew these stoppings before, and the purpose for which they were made, and never thought that they were not suffi ciently strong. Knows what a dam is, but never knew one put in for the purpose of a stopping; dams are only used to keep the water back. A dam put in would not be more effectual than a stopping. If the stoppings had not been blown down the lives of all the men in the Brockley Whinns Flat would have been saved on the dip side. Could not, from what he saw, judge where the explosion took place. Since he has worked in the pit, there has been no want of attention to the ventilation of the pit, and, as far as he has seen, every possible attention has been given to proper ventilation. From what he has seen, as far as he is able to judge, the explosion has been the result of accident, and not negligence. By Mr. Roberts—The stoppings were blown in wardly. The stoppings were sufficiently strong to ' keep the air right ; that is the only purpose for which they are made: By Mr. Marshall—lie is a hewer in the colliery, and had the misfortune to lose his brother by the ex plosion. By the CORONER—In his opinion blame was not attributable to any person. William Farish—Lives at Haswell Colliery, and has worked nearly three years at the colliery. Was at work on Saturday, and left at ten o'clock in the morning, and worked in the ninth headway, and two bodies were found in the same spot where he had been previously working—these persons followed him to work in the same jud. This is in the same place where Williamson was taking down the jud, and at the very same place where he had been working. When he left the place the ventilation was good. The air was usually good, and there was no deficiency. The pit, he thought, was one of the best ventilated pits he ever knew, and he is upwards of fifty-three years old, and has been a pitman about forty-four years. Has not been at the place since the explosion. When he left there was no appearance of gas. In his opinion the late explosion was purely accidental, and not caused by negligence. As far as he can judge, nothing could have prevented it. By Mr. Marshall—Has worked in his life for nine collieries, and never saw one better ventilated. Lost a son by the explosion. By the CORONER— Does not believe the explosion took place for want of ventilation. . By Mr. Marshall—When they were at work on Saturday morning, they heard a noise like thunder in the goaf, and had never before heard such a noise ; we thought it was above where we were working, and we left the place, and when it ceased we returned. The goaf is the place where all the coal has been re moved. At that time the Davy lamps did not indi cate the presence of gas. The same noise was heard shortly after again when they went in ; it was not so loud as the first noise. They told one of the charge men of the occurrence, and he said it was caused by the falling of one of the old boards, and that they saw themselves. The person to whom they told this was John Williamson, the deputy, who was killed. Ralph Errington—Has been employed nearly eight years in Haswell Colliery, and work with last wit ness, and left at ten o'clock on Saturday morning, when the ventilation was as good as possible. Can form no opinion as to the cause of the explosion, and cannot tell whether it was the result of accident or negligence. Nothing could have been done, in his opinion, by anticipation, to have prevented the acci dent. Where they were working the current of the air was so strong that they could scarcely keep their lamps burning. By Mr. Roberts—lf there had been a current of air going through the place where the accident oc curred it would not have happened. Where he was working is the place where the accident is generally supposed to have commenced. The evidence of this witness was generally a corroboration of that pre viously given. Thomas Scott—Lives at Haswell, and has been t pitman twenty-three years, eighteen of which he has been a hewer. Has been seven years and a half at Haswell pit, and has worked in the waste six years and a half. Was at work in the waste on Friday night, and left at two A.M. on Saturday. 'Was not at work at that time in the little pit. For a month previously had been working in the waste of the little pit—a month previously to Monday before the acci dent. Was through the whole of the waste during that time. The ventilation was always very good. No men have been working in that waste since he was in. Has been a little way into the waste since the explosion took place, and it was in a good state to day at twelve o'clock. Could see no indications where the explosion took place. The Haswell pit was con sidered the best ventilated pit on the river Wear. Has worked in all parts of the pit, and never found any want of ventilation. Has frequently heard the men complain that there was too great a current of air in all parts of the pit. The three strange work men in the waste are under the charge of three ex perienced pitmen, to whom they are only assistants, and in no way responsible for the work done ; the ex perienced pitmen are alone responsible, and if any thing happens they are accountable. The men that are with them have to take charge of both them and their Davy lamps. It was possible enough for the explosion to have taken place if there had been a cur rent of air into every part of the pit. If a heavier body of gas came off than there was air to overpower, an explosion might be the result, and it is his opinion that was the case in this accident. It was possible for a sufficient quantity of gas to have come off from the removal of the jud as would cause the explosion. Has never seen any gas in the course of six years and a half in Haswell waste. He has known in the Charlie pit, at Lambton, the air as clear as in a bell, and in half an hour the Davy lamps were rolling full of gas. Considers the Davy lamp very secure—as secure, or more so, than any other that he knows anything about. Is very certain every care is taken that is possible in the air courses in the waste. Edward Fenwick Boyd, colliery viewer at Urpeth, n ear Chester-le-street, is not connected with Haswell colliery, nor the owners. H as been down the Has ex. well pit since the explosion , a nd has examinedi the t te u r r n n al o p f art t s he o f th air; e 11 h 1 a e s a d f a o a w n s Flat d a g , a p a a d r t a i i c r u t a r a r l t l ihnegrein the wall direction sides and the t oftheretimber indicate anurndriftThemark marks upon the explosion; the marks were all in one direction, indicating the' force of the gas ; has also examined the stoppings, and air crossings in the rolley way, which are forced in a contrary direction from the working places. Part of the timber and sonic large stones in the rolley way had fallen down ; there were large falls of stone. The inferences to be formed from these appearances are, _that the explosion must have taken place near the highest headway course, of which he had no doubt, and near to the faces of the working places. Also examined a few boards of the Brockley Whinns Flat adjoining to that way, and found the indications of fire not so strong in that direction, but the blast had gone in that direction. The other observations are similar to what is already in evidence. As check viewer he has been in the habit half-Tearly of going down to view the pit, particularly the district where this misfortune has happened, and has had opportuni ties of travelling different portions of the waste, and also had opportunities of comparin g it with about twenty-five o th er co ll er i es which he in spects, and, except one, it exceeds all the others as to the quantity of air, and the direc tion and general attention to it. Considered the ventilation of the pit admirably good. In Wallsend colliery, 38,000 cubic feet or 40,000 cubic feet, is passed in a minute, and this may be compared with the ventilation of this pit already in evidence. There are no known better means of ventilation than what are in use in this pit. The temperature of this pit is as good as any other. On the 26th of January this year the temperature was taken by him on going into the pit. At the surface it was 46 deg., and at the bottom of the pit, 165 fathoms down, 53 deg. The return, just before going on to the furnace, 61 deg., end at the face of the workings where the men work, 58 deg. In one instance he found the temperature at the furnace cooler than when the air went in. It was on the back, on a warm day, 67 deg., and at the re turn 61 deg. Is of opinion that the explosion was caused by a light coming in contact with the foul air. A current of air will carry the flame through the wire of a Davy lamp when the wire is red hot. Has seen seven or eight lamps blown out by the fall of stone on drawing a jud. If the stoppings could have been built strong enough to have resisted the blast is f ,, arful the worst result might have taken place. The two shaft-doors between the downcast and the ur.csst shafts might have been thrown down, and the result would have been the losing of the whole of the men in the other pit as well as those who suffered. Haying space to spread in it consumed itself for want of a supply of gas and air. It was quite possible to hare done greater harm. The inquest was agreed to be adjourned till to morrow. BRITISH ASSOCIATION i 7 OR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. • (From Punch.) This Association having met at York, science is, o course, being advanced in that favoured city, and such is the determination of some of the more active members to keep science on the move, that they have resolved on pushing it to the very last extremities. Science has taken a very considerable round in the hands of this very able body, and we should not be as. tonished to hear of its eventually gcing to Jericho. What will become of the British, &c., for the advance ment, &c., it is not our business to inquire. What the British, &c., &c., &c., &c., is actually about at the pre sent moment, is the point to which We shall confine our selves. The Committee having met, Colonel Sabine— no relation, we believe, to the historical Sabines—came forward to read the report in his character of General- Secretary. It is worth while to observe that the Asso ciation for the Advancement of Science has advanced the secretary, by making a colonel into a general—for General-Secretary is the title which the Colonel goes by in his connexion with the Brit. Ass., as the sapient body occasionally calls itself. Colonel-General-Secretary SABINE, having cleared his throat, and sent for his spectacles from the President of the Optical Section, who had borrowed them in order to try - some experiments in reading books—Colonel-General- Secretary Sabine having, in a style worthy of the Archi tectural Section, placed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, began to read the report, of which the following is a summary : " Your Committee have great pleasure in stating that they have tried an experiment with a captive balloon—" Here the Secretary was interrupted by a new member , inquiring what was meant by a captive balloon. Was it a balloon that had caught on the railings of a house, as Mr. Hampton's generally did ? or was it a balloon seized and become captive on account of the damage done by its descent, which happened occasionally to Mrs. Graham and other intrepid aeronauts ? Colonel SABINE having paused for some time, and having looked out the words " captive" and " balloon" in Johnson's Dictionary, replied that he could not answer the question. He would, however, refer it to the Lexi cographical Section, if the Hon. Members desired it. The report was then proceeded with. " Your committee having had some naps, have drawn some lines showing some good spots for some canals, some Artesian wells, and some other advantages." The new member inquired whether the lines did not disfigure the maps ? Colonel SABlNE—Rather. NEW MEMBER—Then cui bone ? The PRESIDENT here interfered.—" If'," said he with much warmth, " the association is to have the cui bone test applied to its proceedings—if we are to be asked what is the good of this or that, we may as well dissolve the body."—(Much cheering.) Colonel SABINE then:proceeded—" Your Committee have sent out Professor Forbes with a dredging ma chine." NEW MEMBER—A what ? Colonel Sainfee (continuing)—" A dredging machine for the purpose of dredging the ./Egean Sea." NEW MEMBER—Oh ! that's too rich—lie, ha, ha ! The PRESIDENT—The Hon. Member is right. pe as the richness of the 2Egean Sea that induced this Associ ation to dredge it. Go on, Mr. Secretary ; what dues the report say as to the result of the dredging ? Colonel SABINE (reading)—" Your Committee f ee l much ecstacy in stating that Professor Forbes has dredged up several buckets of mixed stuff; whieia have been laid before the Analytic Section, and found to contain 110 ; species of animals, all new to science, NEW MEMBER-150 animals 1 Let's have their names. The PRESIDENT (interfering)—We should be glad to afford every information, but these interruptions are im proper. NEW MEMBER—WeII, let's have a few of the names of the 150 animals all new to science. The PRESIDENT—WeII—I don't know 1 Suppose we say the Cockleius Scollopceoculus, or " Cockle good fur scolloping." That's one ! I can't think of any more justnow. rteel e Ed g othoen (winkingG w o i t v h er t n h am e t ertnehpteot President)--" r,peCus publish ie . snShtViLer. Touret Committee of this dredging ; and Sir Robert Peel agreed to print 500 copies, if there were any means of getting rid of them. 100 were at once carried away by a celebrated professor." NEW MEMBER—What became of the remainder ? The PRESIDENT—That's an unfair question. I don't know. A CLERK—The cheesemonger— Colonel SABINE and the PRESIDENT (very vehemently to the clerk)—Silence, Sir ; silence. You are stopping far beyond your duty, Sir. hold your tongue, Sir. Colonel SABINE (continuing - to read)—" Your Com mittee have received 1,000/. from the Treasury for the publication of Lalande's catalogue of the stars." NEW MEMBER—What a rum catalogue! Lot one, Mr. Macready, I suppose. Eh ? Colonel SABINE (stuffing his pocket-handkerchief into his mouth, and coughing)—Shall I go on with the report or not ? The PRESIDENT—Pray qo on. Colonel SABINE (continuing)—" Your Committee, finding they could do no good with the collections illus trative of the railway sections, have given them all away." NfEMBER—AII ? Colonel SABINE—Every one. They were of no use to us. NEW MEMBER—What did they cost ? The PRESIDENT—That question must be referred to the mathematical section. NEW MEMBER—Yes, but which is the paying sec tion ?—(Loud cries of " Indecent !" amidst which the new member sat down.) Colonel SABINE—" Your Committee beg to say, in conclusion, they have got several invitations for next year, and amongst others Cambridge was anxious for the honour of taking them.in—and doing for them 1" The report having been read, a warm discussion took place on a Daddy Longlegs, the point of dispute being whether the Daddy should be referred to the zoological section, or whether an ethnological sub-section should be formed for the purpose of placing the Longlegs in the hands of a separate committee. It was ultimately agreed to look upon the Daddy Longlegs as a subject for the zoological section atpresent. The meeting they broke up. FRIDAY. The business to-day was quite of an abstanot nature. In section A, Professor Lora read a . paper os infinite series, &c., or series without end ; iu iinastration of which he read some observations, which seemeil u if they never would end, and, even when concluded, no end was come to. Section B.—Mr. WEST read a paper on mineral waters, founded on experiments with a bottle of soda water. Mr. Hum' read a paper on the influence of light on plants, which he proved to be deleterious. He had held a buttercup over a lighted candle, and, though the buttercup was not melted, the flower was considerably damaged. • Dr. BABINEUR read a paper on the mode of detecting the adulterations in tobacco. He had smoked several penny Cubas, and detected adulteration in every one of them. Professor FonnEs and Mr. llEersTosr jointly read a paper on the tertiary format ions of the Isle of Wight. i As they both read at once , it was to u s the most nter• esting paper we had heard at the meeting. Section E.—Medical Science.—Dr. RIMING described a peculiar disease of the tongue, attended with great constitutional disturbance. It was found a good deal among Ra di ca l Members of Parliament and Chartist demagogues. The tongue was generally very bad in these cases, but the constitutional disturbance generally insignificant. LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY. —On Tuesday evening a meeting of the friends of this Society (mem bers of the Church of Scotland) was held in the Tem perance Hall, York-street, Westminster, for the purpon of making a collection in aid of its funds ; George Wil son, Esq., in the chair. The meeting wus addressed by the chairman, the Rev. Messrs. Henderson, Shepherd, Drew (of Madras), Smith, Gaily, &c., who appealed very strongly to the feelings of th e i r h earers, i n support o f the Society, which they contended had wrought more benefit than any other human institution, and which, in conjunction with the Tract andßible Societies, which had sprung from it, would, if sustained, effect all that the most sanguine could expect. In the course of the even ing a letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Pritchard, stat ing that he was prevented from attending the meeting by severe indisposition, which confined him to his bed, but that on that day week, if sufficiently recovered, he would be present in the Hall and deliver an address on ' the subject of foreign missions. The announcement of the illness of the Rev. Gentleman drew forth the marked sorrow of the meeting, and a resolution conveying ilia strongest sympathy for his sufferings in the sacred cans", in which ho was engaged, was unanimously agreed to.
