Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the foll. - ,wing bankers :—Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton,.and Co.; Messrs.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Scc.

[PRICE SD. FEARFUL EXPLOSION AT ABERDARE This parish has been again the scene of a colliery explosion. It is scarcely 12 months since 52 lives were lost in one pit, and three years before that 28, and now 13 are severely burnt, three actually killed, and several of the wounded not expected to survive. All this, it is frightful to think of, has occurred in three neighbouring pits within a very few hundred yards of each other, and two of them belonging to the same owner. Had not the most strenuous exertions been made, every one of the survivors in the last ac cident must have been suffocated—that is, from 30 to 40 human beings. The character of the explosion was such, that the partition wall dividing the air• pit was shattered in every direction, and a large portion of the lower part fell in, thus choking up the mouth of the pit and falling on one of the carriages which convey the men up and dour), then at the bottom of the pit. The contractor by whom the pit was worked happened to be one of the unfortunate men below. The only responsible person at the mouth of the pit at this time was the engineer, that is, the man who works the engine. Thinking, most rashly, that he could lift the carriage at the bottom, with all the superincumbent weight of the fallen partition, in a pit of 167 yards deep, he set the engine at work ; and the natural consequence was, the engine was broken and totally disabled, thus cutting off from the poor men below the best hope they had of being extricated. The only remedy now was to send a bucket down the pumping pit. This bucket took nearly one hour to go down ; such was the character of the only machinery at hand after the reckless folly of the engineer. It was after midnight before the last man (a corpse) was got up. Two more are missing, but they will most probably be found to day. They are supposed to be lying under a portion of the roof which has fallen in. This pit had not been in work more than six months, which makes an investiga tion into the method of its working the more necessary, as all new pits are generally clean and free from gas. It is to be hoped the Government will lose no time in send ing down one of the three new inspectors, as that part of this parish has become now sadly notorious for these accidents. In a small way, more or less, men are continually being burnt in them. The public hear only of these more fearful explosions. The daring bravery of the poor men who risked their lives on behalf of their fellow-creatures can never be too highly praised. Such was the escape of gas from the mouth of the pit that no one durst go with a naked candle near it. It was to be seen issuing like smoke from a chimney ; yet it was through this perilous at mosphere, holding a Davy lamp, that they dared to descend, in the most dangerous manner even in the purest atmosphere, with the means of assistance and the word of comfort to the ill-fated sufferers below. The appearance of those burnt, when brought up to the mouth of the pit, was frightful to the last degree. Their skins were hanging in shreds about them. We have seen many burnt, but seldom any more fear fully. The wailing of the women and the shrieks of the children, as well as the whole scene, in the gleam ing fires lighted around, must be imagined as a pic ture of horror which can never be described. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past yeas'no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for MlL—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Pelicies, amounting to 52,963/.25. id.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on tho Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. 1 Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

At Ipswich the quotations of barley were reduced is for the best, and is 6d to 2s for lower qualities. At Woodbridge barley was Is cheaper; wheat scarcely supported its price. At Stowmarket on Thursday barley and wheat were each 63 to is per quarter cheaper, the latter much out of condition.

CORK, DEC. 13. We have to notice but a few arrivals of foreign grain, which consist principally of maize. The receipts of home grain continue moderate, the total for the week being only—Wheat, 735 barrels, at 16s to 20s 9d per barrel; barley, 2,005 barrels, at 10s. to 12s per barrel ; oats, 6,324 barrels, at 8s to 103 4d per barrel. The supply of wheat being small prices are maintained. Barley is in request, and black oats are 3d to 4d per barrel dearer. White maintaining the rates of last week. In prepared and foreign wheat the business done has been but trifling, and without any alteration from last week's prices. Some parcels of grinding barley have changed hands at prices varying from lls to Its 6d per barrel. Malting samples continue very scarce. A few lots of prepared oats (black) have been sold in the outports at 9s 6d per barrel, being an ad vance of 3d per barrel on the rates of last week. On the spot little business has been done, but prices manifest a decidedly upward tendency. The flour market con tinued exceedingly dull, and, with a mere retail business passing, prices manifest a downward tendency. The business passing in Indian corn is altogether confined to the supply of passing wants, and with a restricted sale the trade is dull and dragging, last week's prices being scarcely supported. India meal is almost without inquiry. Barrels.

Hides— THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION The coroner's inquest upon the bodies of the ten persons killed by the boiler explosion at Messrs. Firth's woollen manufactory, Lilly-lane Mill, Hali fax, which was recorded in The Sun at the period of the calamity, was brought to a close on Friday even ing last. A great mass of evidence was adduced, the general tenor of which was, that Mr. Samuel Firth, if not other of the partners, was aware that the ex ploded boiler was unsafe for use, and yet that it was kept working at intervals up to the time of the explo sion. Once or twice previous to the explosion the steam was turned off and the engine stopped while Firth and the engine-tenter tinkered at the boiler, which was constantly leaking; and on the day before the boiler burst Firth ordered the young people out of the engine-house (where they had been accustomed to warm themselves), telling them that " they were to get away as fast as they could, lest the boiler should burst." The young people naturally became alarmed, and one of them (Lavinia Carter) attempted to leave the mill, but was ordered back by Samuel Firth, and shortly after her resuming work the explo sion took place. This, however, was not the most serious part of the evidence against Samuel Firth. Mr. Thomas Wood, cotton•spinner, Sowerby- bridge, stated that two days before the explosion he met Sa muel Firth in Bradford Cloth-hall, when Samuel said —referring to the explosion at Messrs. Wand's Brad ford mill—" We had a good deal of bother about en gineering this week. Our old engine is poorly, and I have had to look after the man a good deal, lest he should get his pressure too strong on the boiler. I am afraid there will be a blow up at our place, but we must run on till Christmas." The most important evidence given during: the inquiry was that of Mr. William Fairburn, the eminent civil engineer and machinist, of Manchester, who had been sent for by the mayor and magistrates of Halifax to view Messrs. Firth's boilers and report thereon. His evidence is important, not only as showing how the accident occurred, but as suggesting a precaution against these ' dreadful catastrophes in future. Mr. Fairburn put in a written report of considerable length, of which the following are the chief points : " The comparative saving which is effected by the judicious application of high-pressure steam in its expansive action upon steam-engines, and when due care is taken that the vessels within which it is con fined are calculated to resist with perfect security the forces by which they may be assailed, does not admit of doubt. I think it is equally for the general benefit of the country and the extension of our manufactures that every facility should be given for its introduction, and I take this opportunity publicly to state that in my opinion it may be accomplished with perfect safety and with greatly-increased economy in the consumption and employment of the most valuable mineral production this country possesses. The dan ger does not consist in the intensity of pressure to which the steam may be raised, but entirely upon the charecter and construction of the vessel which contains the dangerous element, When contained within the narrow limits of a well-constructed locomotive boiler it is perfectly harmless; but if it be attempted to en close a volume of similar density in an ordinary boiler of extended capacity, you incur the almost certain result of a catastrophe such as we have so very recently been called upon to deplore. Such it appears to me was the position in which the public were placed with respect to the boilers of Lilly-lane Mill. They were worked (especially two of them) in a very unsafe condition; and I have no hesitation in stating that they were unequal to the pressure to which they were exposed. Insecure to begin with, they were rendered immeasurably more so from the absence of proper safety valves—an outlet of only three inches diameter, which was common to all the three, being scarcely worthy of the name. From every inquiry there is no evidence to show at what pressure the valve was weighted, or whether or not it was ever in a working condition. lam not aware what may be the practice in this or other parts of Yorkshire ; but I cannot sufficiently condemn a system of construction which limits the means of escape, and exposes both life and property to the most imminent peril. The boilers at Lilly-lane Mill were of such magnitude, and the plates of which they were composed so ex tremely thin, that I should have considered them at any time very precarious. Assuming all the parts to be perfect—which is, however, doubtful—we shall find that 121 b. on the square-inch was, although sufficient to distort the form, totally inadequate to effect the rupture of the boiler. Taking the tensile strength of the material, and the joints of which the boiler was composed, it was equal, under a more judi cious distribution, to ten times that pressure ; but un fortunately the extreme thinness of the plates, and the want of sufficient stays, caused the fiat ends to bulge outwards, which, under the influence of a variable force, created a slow but certain strain upon the angle-iron, which ultimately de stroyed its texture, and rupture ensued. The boilers were originally supplied with water by self acting jackheads or columns of water at the usual height of 12 or 14 feet. These, it appears, were taken down some years since, when the now end of the mill was built over the boilers, and valves or cocks worked by hand substituted for them. Now, the hand-feed, direct from the pump, in well-constructed cylindrical boilers, with double safety valves, may be perfectly safe ; but in this case, when the steam escape was so insufficient, they were very injudicious, and, in fact, the removal of the jackheads did away with almost the only security that the boilers originally possessed. Before the engine is again started I would earnestly recommend that the boiler next the engine house be discontinued and destroyed, and that the other boiler with hemispherical ends be removed from under the mill, if it is possible to do so. Having made these statements it now becomes my duty to state, for the information of the authorities of Halifax and the public generally, what I consider the most feasible means for averting, or at least diminishing the number of these frightful accidents arising from boiler explosions. It appears to me that a legislative interference in the construction of boilers or machi nery of any kind is exceedingly objectionable, and should not be resorted to but in cases of urgent neces sity; yet I do not clearly perceive how local regu lations, however good and judicious in them selves, would answer the purpose, unless under the control and sanction of the law. I appre hend the assistance of Parliament would be re- quired to carry out the principles I would suggest, as follow :-Ist. That after a certain date boilers should not be allowed to be placed under buildings where people are employed, and that those now in that posi tion be as speedily removed as possible. 2d. That boilers of a waggon shape should not be worked at a pressure exceeding 101 b. on the square ineh. 3d. That after a certain date every new boiler should be proved up to not more than one-third its bursting pressure, and to three times its intended working pressure. Lastly, That every boiler should be fitted with two safety valves, one to be self acting and be yond the reach of the engine -tenter, or any other person but one to whom the duty of examination should be expressly intrusted." After the evidence had been closed, the coroner (Mr. G. Dyson) having summed up, the jury re tired, and after being in consultation for upwards of three hours, returned with a verdict of " Man slaughter against Samuel Firth, one of the pro prietors of the mill, and Joseph Ilelliwell, the en gine-tenter," and the coroner proceeded to make out their committal to York Castle for trial at the assim S.

In consequence of the strong south-west gale yes terday, the Phaeton, 50, Captain George Elliot, is still at Spithead, and will not sail for Lisbon till the weather is more settled. The Hogue, 60, will, we understand, come into Portsmouth harbour again to-day, and probably ship another screw, and complete her coal. The Tiger appears a fine vessel ; she carries 14 guns—viz., on her quarter-deck, one 68-pounder solid shot gun, 91 feet, 86 cwt., pivot-gun, and four long 32-pounders, 50 cwt. ; forecastle, one 68. pou nder, 10 feet, solid shot, 86 cwt., and two 32-pounders. On her main deck, abaft engine, four 32. pounders, 9 feet, 50 cwt.; before engine, two 32-pounders, 50 cwt. She steamed round from Chatham at the rate of 11 knots per hour. Mr. Belem, the master in charge, and the men belonging to the Ocean, who navigated the Tiger to Portsmouth, will probably return by railway. PORTSMOUTLI, SUNDAY.—The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander G. S. Hand, arrived from Lisbon yester day with supernumeraries and invalids. Sbe sailed from the Tagus on the 9th as the Peninsular packet from Gibraltar was entering. She reports political affairs as in statu quo, and the community in some commotion in consequence of the recent arrival of a new Cardinal, whose installation took place on the 4th with grand eclat. A regal entertainment was given on the occasion, to which acout 400 of the elite of the country were invited, among whom were the British Minister and the officers of the British squadron, who, however, says our informant, de dined the honour to a man. Commodore Martin's uadr o n experienced very heavy weather during their late experimental trial, every ship prov ing herself an able sea-boat except the Dauntless, which is reported to have rolled terrifically, losing all topgallant-masts over the side in one of her heavy lurches ; in running she beat every ship, but on a wind was the leemost. The Arrogant is reported by far th• most efficient vessel, being able to steam (sails furled) 8.6 knots per hour, while the Dauntless can only keep up with her at that rate by the aid of her sails. The latter sits deep in the water, and com pared with the Leander, Arethusa, and Arrogant is low and ugly. The general appearance of these beautiful frigates is perfectly yacht-like. It is thought the Phaeton's sailing was unfair and spoilt by the disproportioned show of canvass, and Captain Gordon, of the Encounter, holds the opinion that it is impossible to determine the fastest rate of sailing in any frigate under the present system of allowing each captain to trim his ship in accordance with his own fancy. The Prince Regent is in admirable order. The Hecate experienced awful weather on her pas sage out (eight days from Plymouth), meeting a gale off Cape Finisterre, which washed away the captain's gig and a considerable portion of her port paddle box. She lay to three days under storm trysails and power of steam sufficient to keep steering way. She is replenishing fuel, of which she brought home half what she took out, although she did not coal at Lisbon, and will be ready for service again in a day or two. The Persian, 12, Commander Bulman, having suf fered much from sickness whilst at Grey-town, Mos quito, and lost several hands, it may be well to pub lish the names of those who have fallen victims to the pestilence, in order to allay the apprehensions of friends and relatives of survivors on board :—Assist ant-Surgeon Duncan ; quartermasters James Graham and John Quinn; blacksmith, Timothy Collins; captain of the mast, George Simmonds ; carpenter's crew, John Turner ; ordinary seaman, John Colter, first-class boy s, William Gill and Edward Storey ; private marine, Abel Skinner. The Amphitrite, 25, is ordered to be recommis sioned at this port by Captain Charles Frederick (1842). She will be ready to hoist the pendant on the 31st inst. The Havannah, 22, Captain Erskine, was at Auck land, New Zealand, on the 25th of July, having made the passage from Sydney in the extraordinary short space of six days and five hours. She was on the Ist of August on a cruise to the islands northward—New Hebrides, Loyalty, New Caledonia, and Soloman, for the protection of British traders. She would return to Sydney in November. All well. PLTMOUTII, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty's frigate Inde fatigable, 50, Captain R. Smart, entered the Sound yesterday afternoon, left Port Royal early in No vember, and touched at Bermuda on the 24th. Al though the yellow flag was flying at her mast head, there was no sickness on board, and she was quickly relieved from quarantine. The crew of the Indefatigable have, during her stay in the West Indies, suffered severely from yellow fever and cholera. When the fever appeared among the crew, at sea, the ship went to :Port Royal ; on arrival, they signalized their condition to the authori ties, and were answered that the cholera had just broken out among the inhabitants ashore. The full complement of the Indefatigable is 500 men, but she is now 127 short of that number. Of these, 36 in all have died, and about 80 are left in hospital at Port Royal. There bas been but one death since leaving Port Royal, and three occurred before reaching Ber muda, when she was under quarantine. All the best men have been attacked, and, it is said that she has not now more than 30 thorough-going seamen on board. With the exception of Captain Smart, First-Lieutenant R. J. Balfour, and one or two others, all the officers have been ill, but no deaths have oc curred among them. The chief boatswain's mate had his foot crushed when assisting in getting out the ship's boat at Port Royal; amputation was performed, and he is now on board on duty. The Indefatigable has experienced very wild weather for the last few days. The crew of her Majesty's ship Albion, 90, Captain \V. J. 11. Johnstone will be paid wages on the 16th, and on or about the ?oth she will leave the Sound and proceed to Queenstown, to relieve the Ajax, 60, Captain M'Quin, which screw steam-ship will then come to this port. On her return to Queenstown the Albion will sail for Lisbon. The Winchester, 50, is getting on very rapidly in her shipwright department. There are 462 men of different departments employed upon her, and sbe is to be out of h an d by th e 3 1st instant.

Penguin, 6, was commissioned on Tuesday, for Commander Thomas Etherridge, and is to have a complement of 76 officers and men. Her armament will be 4 32 -pounder carronades of 17 cwt., and 2 32 .pounder guns of 32 cwt., on Hardy's slides. She was taken into dock the following day to make good defects.—lbid. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, DEC. 14 . — Commander Byron Drury (1845), to the Pandora, 6, b r i g, commissioned this day at Devonport. The Hercules store-ship, Master. Commander Ro bert Fulton, has arrived at Greenhithe' towed by the Monkey and Jasp er s t eam • vesre l s, and has brought home a large quantity of old stores from Gibraltar and the Mediterranean. It is understood here that the seamen and Royal Marines of the Plover Discovery ship, commissioned on November 17, 1847, by Commander Thomas E. L. Moore, for the expedition to Bhering's Straits, will be sent home, their period of service having now expired, and their places will he supplied by volunteers from the ves , els on the Pacific station. The Plover will continue the duty for which she was commissioned, and this arrangement is certainly far preferable to commissioning another vessel to relieve the Plover. It is intended to commission a steam-vessel fur ser vice on the New Zealand station, and it is probable one of the iron war steamers will be selected for that purpose, as it is not likely that she will be en gaged in warfare, which would injure her in that part of the world. The iron steamers already built might be usefully employed on many of the distant stations, by employing one on each for general purposes until they are worn out, which they will be as soon, although unemployed, in home ports as they would be in active service in any part of the world. General Radowitz, recently Prime Minister to the King of Prussia, is at present on a visit to this country, and has obtained official permission to visit all her Majesty's dockyards. The Geni'ral visited the Rayal Arsenal here on Wednesday laA, and was accompanied over the foundry, the earriago and laboratory departments, and the extensive rang. of store rooms, by the heads of the various depart ments, who explained th e na t ure o f t h e works carried on in em, and the purposes for which the prepared stores are intended, giving information at the same time of the quantities that can be made ready in a limited period.

Tug GAS QUESTION.-It appears that a strong op position has been got up in the parish of St. James's, against an amalgamation of the Chartered, Equitable, and London Gas Companies, who have given notice to Parliament for a Bill to unite their interests. The object, as fully set forth in their public notices, is, by concentration to limit their ex penditure to the utmost possible extent, and thus put them selves in a position to supply gas at the lowest remunera tive price, and prevent the interminable inconvenience to which various portions of the metropolis are now put by the opening of the streets for pipes. It is stated that the companies will, by this proposed amalgamation, be enabled at once to reduce their price for gas at least 20 per cent. It cannot be doubted that existing companies, who have ex pended an enormous amount of capital in laying pipes and constructing works, must feel it their interest, as it must urr doubtedly be their conviction, that " half a loaf is better than no bread at all." And the quotation of gas shares in the market is perhaps the best evidence that the flourishing statements made by projectors of new schemes have their existence rather in the imagination than in the actual re venue of gas companies.—Heruld. with the CLIEAP LITERATURE.--In accordance g b e u i r i n er l a i l a d s e a m nn an ou d n f e o e r d cl t i h e e a Pepys' celebrated " Diary and Correspondence, pb°oks' publication we lthe tirst of which is monthly volumes, price Gs. each bound, i This edition will to appear on the Ist of January, 14 g latlely restored from the contain the whole of the c h eap in five oofbsaerveh thpatrnres. re-nears e o o l- f k the which has been pronounced cheap form this rerliarkabiet.weor, best bock of the kind in the by the Athemcwit to be b will doubtless meet with thousands of original manuscript, andpaallsaes additional notes.
