It occurred to hi m th a t if t h e proctors :ha° were superior to the mea nness o f pay i ng persons to. tout for business in the way described would apply to the judges of the courts in which the members of the profession practised, there would arise such as interposition as would speedily put an end to the practice.—(ilet:r,.hear.) It appeared to that tha judge alone bad the power of abating the nuisance. Certainly- the Court of Aldermen cou!cl do nothing in it. If the touters wished to walk quietly about the neighbourhood exercise end air, lie could not see why an alderman should interfere. with such harird en piscine.—(L*uAhh‘r.) Sir Perim LAURIE said it would be rather too great a liberty tai prevent peOple from walking shout, par ticularly when their livelihood ilpended upon their perambulations. It was, he considered, one of tie freaks of free trade.—(Laughter.) The great body of the proctors did not like to see all the pro fits of the clurts mr.nopolied by two or three, and the rm , aros e tho. struggle, which, however, ha be lieved wa s cati , d oa with as little obstruction as coo 11, - Alderm an SiDny said the presentment ktving been made by the inquest, the Court could do no otherwise (Mn re!er it to :1 committee. The Court ultimately referred the matter to Alder man Wilson (the R id er a n of the ward) to be dealt with according, t o I - ''s judgment. PRIVILEGES OF TUE ultra or ALDERMEN. Mr. Last, toe chairman * a --11 d several members, con stituting a deptafatl°n - roro the (Moen' and clerks' committee, were then introduced, for the . purpose of requesting a conference appointment of a minister for S. James's, Irket,h,-eplatc-e-. The court was immediately cleared- of strangers, and after a conference of nelry two hours, the Court of Aldermen came to the unanimous determination to p er req son t to the offi the ordce.

Mr. Whittemore, who has been latelayncf , fnciating ,to the gratification of the congregation, the Court con- Adjourned. firmed the nominatio n unanimously,._ THE LONDON COAL Durp • Sr. ALBAN'S, SATURDAY --A meetin g of thenla bitants of this town and neighb our h ood vras h e ld t i. o day, at the Town-hall, for the p ur p ose of taking into - consideration the best means of o bt a i n i ng relief from the coal tax lately imposed upon them for the benefit of the city of London. The Earl of Vernier?) was celled to the chair, and amongst those on the platform were the Mr. 11. Bernie, M.P., the Mayor of St Alban's, Rev. Dr. Nicholson, and all the most i n . fluential residents of the district. The noble chair mu), in opening the proceedings, said the duty had existed for some period within a certain distance of the metropolis, but by some means its limits bad been extended so as to include that borough, and therefore, for the first time, they were now called -upon to pay the Corporation of London a duty of 131. per ten. He for one protested against that charge, as unfair upon a people who did not participate in the im• provements of the city of London. Mr. Bennett, the Mayor of St. Alban's, propoled a re solution to the effect that a petition be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament, praying for relief from the coal-tax. lie computed that no less than 7001. would be obtained from the town by the duty, and against that amount 2501. would be bottle by the poor. The Rev. Dr. Nicholson seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Lowe then moved that the petition now prepared be adopted, and signatures obtained thereto. Mr. Par sons seconded the resolution. The petition was then read. It prayed that the petitioners might he relieved from the payment to the Corporation of London of any tax on coals brought into the county of Hert ford by canal or railway, &c. Mr. R. W. Gaussen• then moved that the Noble Earl be requested to present the petition to the House of Lords, that Mr. Halsey be requested to present it to the House of Commons, and that the other Members be soli cited to support it. After some discussion, Mr. H. Baillie, M.P., said the charge against the City of London was nothing more than swindling.—(Cheers.) They introduced a Bill last session of Parliament to consolidate their Acts of Parliament. Such a Bill was generally understood, it was an Act merely to consolidate other Acts, and excited but little notice. Now the charge against the City was that they intro duced a clause in the Bill to tax the people of St. Alban's, and extend the coal duty to a radius that had Lot existed before. Was not that an act of swindling ? —(Yes, yes, and applause ?) If a private individual hart committed the same sort of thing, what would have been the result ? He hoped that incialries might aria which would effect some reform in that city.— (Applause.) The Eirl of Verularn observed that the third reading of the Bill in the House to which he belonged tools place on the 7.h August. It was the last day of the session, and, to the best of his recollec tion, was almost ti - .e last Act that was rend. After some further discussion, the resolutiOn was approved of, and the usual thanks being voted to the Noble Earl in the chair, the meeting brake up. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER iN EAn TL ,I:PLE-BAR. Yesterday morning, at a quarter-past two o'cleck, the attention of police cenitables Short, No. 18 F, and Wright, 96 F, was attracted by the noise cf a brawl at the corner of Chair. court, Ship-yard, Temple-bar. They immediately proceeded to the spot, and found two men engaged in a desperate struggle, one of whom suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, exclaiming " Oh, my God, lam stabbed!' The policeman immediately to cured his antagonist, and the wounded man was raised from the ground and speedily conveyed to Kiog's Col lege Hospital, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, where ho was Examined by Mr. Davis, the house-surgeon. It was found that ho had sustained three severe wounds in the region of the heart, the nature of which prewudes the blightc.st hopes of his recovery, and he has since totally been unable to give any account of the transac tion. The instrument which Lad been used by the as sassin was found on the place of encounter and secured by the police. It is a Ltilctto with a white handle, and .the blade is ono foot in length. The point of it was boat, as if it had encountered some hard substance. The name of the weunded man is dames Quilled-, and he re sides at No. 1, Caroline-row, Coppice. row, ClerkEnwell. The accused, who is a person of gentlemanly appear ance, was conveyed to Bow street station-house, and on being searched another knife of a very formidable ap pearance was found secreted on his person. lie refused to give his name, or to furnish any account of himself whatever.

Dr. Callen has addressed a letter Ito the honorary secretaries of the Defence As sociation with a view of casting oil upon the leroubled waters, and of appeasing the wrath of the mutinous " Spat tans" who, by their recently• published pro test, b 'aye shaken all public confidence in the good faith of the association. Whether these objects are likely 'to be achieved by the doctor's coy avowal of his simpathy towards Mr. Wilberforce is doubtless best known to Messrs.

" Gentlemen,—The effects ef a severe illness de prived me of the advantage of. being present at the late meeting of the committee of the Catholic Defence Association. I regret this the, more, inasmuch as I lost by any absence an opportunity of expressing personally my sincere acknowledgments to you fer the zeal and ability with which .you have disc earged the duties of honorary secretaries during the past months. " While availing myself of. Ws occasion for ten dering te you the expression l ief my sentiments of thankfulness, I cannot conceal from you the thelings of deep disappointment which ,I have experienced at learning that a misunderstandigg has grown out of the proceedings of the committee, which tern rinnted in the election of Mr. Wilberforce to the office of se cretary.. From the first formatio of the society I understeod the'reding to be' univerikly entertained that all Catholics of the United Kingdtet wore to constitute one body, and to be in all reyptsi upon a perfect equality, without distinction of prowince or country. - This, as far as I coulti ju ige, was .deemed a vital principle, and the one best.aalculated to advance the interests of our holy religiooharity, and trutb, and union among all Catholics or;Xlie empire appeared to be the basis upon which our proceedings ,ar.d com bined efforts were to rest.. Bearing with sue the impression of this avowed prinewle, strengthened as it has been by an intercourse wige several members, both ley and clerical, of tbe association, I was not e P repared I must confess for the exception which has been taken to the selection of se e distinguislied a per son as Mr. Wilberforce to the offf.ce which was to be filled. Were the association founded for local or merely political purposes I 'woug, subscribe to the justness of the exception.

I need searcely tell you, who known my sentiments on matters of that nature so well, that I concur most heartily i n the course you have taken, and that if the signatu res a re extended beyond those who attended the c omm itt ee on Wed nesday, I beg you will attach my na me to the; docu ment. The Warder of this day states positively that the same company which has executed the submarine telegraph between the French and English shores, has actually submitted to the Government a proposal by which it guarantees the completion w ithi n a va ry limited period of a submarine telegr a ph, u pon the very same principle and construction, between Kings town and Holyhead. The sole condition required by the company is, that the Government will pay it for the exclutive use of the two wires which they propose placing at its disposal a yearly sum of 1,090/. SALES OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES. One of the Commissioners sat Yesterday in the Court at Henrietta street, for the sale of encumbered property. There were no less than twelve estates to be auctioned, comprising household, leasehold, and fee-simple property in the counties of Meath, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Dublin, Kilkenny, Mayo, Westmeath, and Tipperary, and in the cities of Dublin and Cork. The court was thronged to inconvenience with solicitors, bidders, and others, and the sales were in most instances completed with the usual dispatch ; in fact, before 4 o'clock, with the exception of two or three lots, the whole of this great mass of property had passed from the former owners into the possession of new hands. _ _ The properties were sit up in the following order: —The Kerry estates of Mr. Barry Collins, profit ren tal, 3131. per annum, sold for 3,5001., eq4al to 11i years' purchase. The Meath estates of Mr. Barclay Striven, rental, 6671., sold for 8,890/., c qual to nearly 131 years' purchase.

The Cork estates of Mr. Edward Byrne, annual rental, 195/, sold for 1,200/, very little over GA years' purchase. The. estate of Mr. P.

Toe estate of Jane Bryan, in the county of Dublin, annual rental 1021, sold for 9201.; or 9 years' purchase. The last sale was of fte Waterford end Cork estates of Mr. Henry Parker, the annual rental of which was 1381., and which realised 3,380/., or about, 241 years' purchase. The gross sum produced by the eale.s effected during the day was 36,580/., equal to 114 years' purchase on a net rental fif 3,110/. per annum. It is worthy of re mark, that the estate of Mr. Byrne, which was sold yesterday for 1,2001, might have been disposed of on two previous occasions for 1,8001.; a loss of just 600/. was therefore occasioned by iujudioious applications for adjournments. SATURDAY AFTERNOON.—It is our mournful duty to record another colliery explosion—one of the most awful and fatal that has ever taken place in this neigh bourhood. It has occurred et Warren Vale pit, atßaw marsh, two miles from Rotherham, the property ofEarl Fitzwilliam vr i and worked by Messrs. J. and J. Charlescrth, the lessees of many collieries in the Yorkshire coal district. It appears that about ten minutes before six this morning Mr. Silvester, the underground steward, went into the pit as usual to examine the state of the workings. Oae or two men went down with him, and he was followed shortly afterwards by the whole body of miners employed there. In what state he found the pit is not known, for he has not been seen again, and it is believed is among those who have pe rished. It appears, however, that he did not find the pit in such a condition as to induce him to stop the working, for the men and boys had generally gone down, and everything appeared to be proceeding in the usual mode. The precise number of men in the pit has not been ascertained. It is believed to be not less than 73. The number of men directly employed by Messrs. Charlesiorth was 32, but nearly all these had men and boys employed under them. To outward appearance everything went on as usual, until a few minutes before seven o'clock. At that time not only those near the pit, but the whole neighbourhood around, was astounded and horrified by an irruption like that of a volcano. Smoke and flames burst out of the mouth of the pit in an ap palling volume. Two corns which were being drawn out of the pit were projected upwards with volcanic force, and lodged in the gearing over the shaft. A quantity of coals, stones, and other matters which had been carried high into the air, descended all around the pit in a terrible shower. So fearful and perilous was it, that the persons employed near the pit mouth were compelled to take shelter under the platform of the tipplers for loading the carts; and it was only by this precaution that they escaped fatal injuries. The country all round the pit was blackened to a distance of three quarters of a mile by the descent of the dust and smoke. So great was this, that a man who was standing at his cottage door, two fields from the pit, found his face blackened as if he had been working in the pit itself. The report of the explosion was heard a distance of three miles. The whole country round was filled with conster nation, and crowds of persons hastened to the place. As soon as it was possible the damaged gearing of the shaft was repaired, so as to enable men to descend the pit, which is 127 yards deep. By'half-past nine fourteen persons had been got out alive, but all more or less injured. These had been enabled, after the explosion, to make their way to the bottom of the shaft and avail themselves of the first opportunity of ascending. Up to half-past three there had been extricated 24 persons alive, and 15 dead bodies. OF the living 15 had happily escaped sufficiently well to be able to render rusistenco and information. Nine were so severely injured that it is feared several of them =- not recover, as they have not only been dreadfully burned, but sustained fractures and other injuries of a dangerous character. Three of the injured men have been sent to the Sheffield Infirmary. Of those who are killed some of the bodies present a most shocking spectacle, being so dreadfully mutilated as to make identification almost impossible. Of the killed the following have been identified : James Purselove, aged 14; Henry Purselove, aged 12 ; John Hartley, John Walton, William Froggatt, John Whyke, alias Barstow, Abraham Thompson, George Sellars, John Hartley, Siddons, and Wil liam Barnes. Among the dangerously hurt are—Joieph Baynes, 'of Riwmarsb ; Bownes, of ditto; Timothy Tins ley, of ditto ; John Harrison, of ditto ; Jonathan Sel lars, of ditto; Abraham Auty, of ditto; James °ate?, of ditto; Eli Barker, of Rose-hill; a n d G eorge Lin ley, of Upper Haugh. The number still in the pit, there is too much reason to believe, is from 30 to 40, and the terrible conviction prevails that they cannot possibly have survived. ANOTHER EXPLOSION AT WOOD THORPE COLLIERY. At four o'clock in the afternoon measures were being taken, under the direction of Mr. Goodison, the N iewer of E trl Fitzwilliatn, Mr. &Mars, the manager, Mr. Cooper, underground steward of Earl Fitz william, and other experienced persons, to throw into the pit a current of fresh air, so as to make it possible further to explore the workings and search the places where the bodies of the unfortunate miners are believed to be. The scene in the neighbourhood is of the most heartrending description. " Mourning, lamentation, and woe " prevail among those who can give no help; while those who can give aid labour with a degree of zeal and self-devotion which merit far greater praise than words can convey. Men, who come out of the pit, sinking from exhaustion, the combined effect of the labour and the foul air, are eager, as soon as they are in some degree restored, again to descend, at the peril of their lives, to aid the less fortunate. The injured men have been conveyed to their own homes or more convenient places. The dead bodies have generally been conveyed to the neighbouring public- houses. At the Star Inn, no less than nine dead bodies lie. The supposed cause of the accident is the fall of a portion of the roof of the pit, stopping the usual cur rent of ventilation, liberating a large quantity of foul air, and forcing it into the parts were the miners were working with candles. It appears that this is a new pit, which has not been worked more than twelve months. the air-gates and other apparatus for directing the currents of air th roug h the pit had been destroyed by the force of the exp l os i on. Mr. John Ch ar l es worth was at Brorepten Bull Head, where the B a d sworth bounds met, when he heard of the explosi on , an d hastened to the pit, where he attended m os t ass id uously to the sufferers, and gave orders that no e x p ense should be spared in ren dering all possible aid. SUNDAY IGUT.—The s ea r c h for the b o di es o f t h e sufferers by this dreadful ealetnity Was continued last night anti to-day. The number of dead recovered from the pit now amounts to 49, and two or three others yet remain in. The search, has been carried throughout the workings, :red as their bodies have not been found, it is concluded that they are buried be neath a mass of the roof which had fallen in at the northern extremity of the working, end no doubt was the cause of the explosion. The men who were in the pit dt the time, but who escaped without injury, speak most confidently to the satisfactory ventilation of tie pit previous to the explosion. There are ten bodies so dreadfully mutilated es to render identity impossible. Mr. Morton, the Government Inspector, is eXpeeted to visit the place to-morrow. This colliery, which was the scene of the unfortunate accident last week, has again been visited by a similar occurrence, though happily unaccompanied with the same disastrous results. An accurate plan of the work ings being required for production at the assizes, on the occasion otld's trial, Messrs. John Wood and G. P. Wall, pupils of Mr. T. D. Jeffo:k, colliery viewer, deecended the shaft on Wcdceeday s e for the purpose of ?slaking the necessary surveys. They were accompanied by John Sellars, the fire-trier at the Soap-house pit, and throe other colliers in the employ of Mr. Rhodes, the lessee of the works. Sellars preceded the party with a Davy lamp, to test the state of the air, before the other ventured forward with candles, the light emitted by a safety lamp being insufficient for surve3ing purposes. Having completed the survey in the locality of the for mer explosion, in which direction the air was found tolerably good, they retraced their steps for a short dis tance, and proceeded along a wind-gate leading to the head of the " thro w ." T hey went cautiously forward until they came to a spot, of which mention was made by Mr. Morton, the Government inspector, in his evi dence at the inquest, where the roof had fallen in, and completely obstructed the ventilation of this mine in that locality. Since the inspection of Mr. Morton, the ven tilation had been partially restored, by the excavation of a passage through it, by means of which the party might with difficulty be enabled to pass. Iremedia'ely they approached the vicinity of this place, a perceptible change was observed in the sir, which bad never been abundant, and there began to fail. Sellars advanced a short distance, but finding no indication of the presence of sulphur, the rest of the party approached, and Mr. Wall proceeded with the survey. Whilst his attention. and that of Sellars, was thus occupied, Mr. Wood walked ferward into the break with a candle, followed by ore of the colliers named Potts. They had not proceeded fsr before the flame of the candle came in contact with a volume of sulphurous gas, which suddenly exploded with a loud noise. Mr. Wood was knocked down and severely burnt and bruised ; P o tt s a l so was thrown down, but escaped with a slight singeing; the others fortunately escaped unhurt. No after damp followed, or the consequences would have been most calamitous, as the place where the explosion occurred is situate about 140 yards from the pit shaft. Mr. Wood wee im mediately conveyed home, and attended by Mr. William Jackson, under whose care he is fast recovering. SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES. This highly important and interesting exhibition; on Thursday night consisted of bronze articles and implements, by the Hen. Mr. Neville, part of the fruits of excavations he has recently made at Wilbra ham, Cambridgeshire. Several fibiere of novel forms were among them, together with other ornaments of dress; but two situlm, or buckets, attracted most attention, because it is only recently ;het such utensils have been discovered in ancient tumuli. These were clearly of the 4t.n&t z Saran pariolcand one of them was in a most perfect tate; they were small, and must have been used as drinking vessels. They were composed of wooden staves, rimmed and hooped with bronze. The staves themselves were of yew, according to the opinion of competent judges, and in one instance every stave was perfect, but in, the other air or damp had occasioned considerable decay. There is no doubt that they must have been at least twelve hundred years old, and their state of _pre servation was therefore remarkable. The Hon. Mr. Neville was present, and kindly afforded every information in his power, promising that on a future evening (15th of January) he would accompany these relics by others exhumed at the same time, and pos sessing at least equal claims to notice. A paper was read upon tte skeletons in the graves with these relics, the most remarkable point regarding them being that not one of them was deficient of any limb, or seemed to have come to his end by any wound which had damaged a bone. A paper was read from Mr. Campkin on some , verses on Cowley, written on the back of one of the well known engravings of - him by Faitborne, but they did not add anything new to his personal his tory, or to the history of his poetry. The most inte resting com munication came last, and produced some discussion among the members ; it related to the transportation to the West Indies and other tropical climates of more than 800 persons who had been en gaged in the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion. It was wr itten by Mr. Roberts, the author of a life of Mon mouth, and it contained some highly curious disclo sures and speculations. Sir R. H.

James's, Duke's place. There was a full attendance of aldermen, as the subject upon whi c h th ey were summoned involved an important question of privilege, and there had been recently a very marked diff e rence of opinion ex pressed by several of the most active members of both courts. TUE COSTS OF A PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY. _ _ Alderman WiLsorf presented a petition from Joseph Softlaw, praying for the assistance of the court to enable him to pay the costs of a prosecution for con spiracy. - The' petition staled certain facts, all of which were detailed in the police reports of the Guildhall justice room on occasions when Aldermen Sslomons, as sisted by Alderman ilumphery; presided. The peti tioner had been charged by a diabolical wretch with having committed an indecent assault ; and the aldermen, after having beard the evidence, not only completely exonerated the petitioner from all offence or idea of offenco, hut recommended that the accusing party should be pros,cuted for wilful and corrupt perjury, A prosecution was accordingly un dertaken by the petitioner, and the guilty party was sentenced to transportation for seven years. The ex penses of the proceedings, however, amounted to 621. 23., and all the petitioner was allowed by the court towards the liquidation of that sum was 161. 7s. En cumbered with a family, and incapable, in conse quence of the loss of his situation, of incurring so heavy an expense, the petitioner's only alternative was by application to the Court of Aldermen, under the peculiar and afflicting circumstances of the case. Alderman WILSON moved that the petition be re ferred to the General P ur p oses C omm i ttee. Alderman SYDNEY as k e d w h et h er such a course was not calculated t o es t a bli s h a precedent, an d whe ther the Court had a r i g h t to apply the Ci ty the purpose of r e i m b urs i ng a man f or th e costs of a prosecution undert a k en by himself ? funds to Alderman WILSON said that, in a case of such pe culiar hardship, and in which two members of the Court strongly recommended the course that bad been subscquently adopted, it would be most proper at least to make inquiry. Alderman TN,MPSON thought the Court would not be justified in entertaining the petition, and that such a precedent would have the etlect of bringing down upon them a variety of cares, in the hope that the funds would be open to the discharge of all the atten dant expenses.—(Hear, hear.) The petitioner had been allowed the reasonable expenses upon the occa sion, but he had thought proper to employ counsel, and to incur a large amount of charges, which, if sanctioned, would impose on the Court the duty of reimbureement, which would swallow up the whole of the resources of the city of London.---(Hear.) He concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the petition lie on the table. - Sir PETER LAURIE said the probability was, that if he had sat when the case was brought on, he would have directed that a prosecution should be in stituted by the City solicitor, because the offence was of a most diabolical nature, and one to which any in nocent man might be subjected by a miscreant— (Hear, hear)—hut he agreed with Alderman Thomp son, that the Court would not be justified in paying expenses to Ns hich they bed not legally given their sanction. If they listened to such a course it would be very easy for attorneys and complainants to get up cases for their mutual benefit at the expense of the corporation.—(Hear, hear.) Under those circum stances he would second tue amendment, repeating, however, that if he had been the magistrate, he would in all probability have ordered the prosecution. Alderman HUMPRERT said he was present during the investigation, and it was considered to relate to a case of so simple a nature that it would be advisable in Mr. Softlaw himself to proceed. He thought the caso had a peculiar claim upon the society, and that, as it was in the power of any miscreant to bring for ward atrocious accusations of this kind, the magis tracy were bound to render all the necessary aid to enable those who might be unjustly charged to punish such delinquency.—(lleur, hear.) The amendment was then negatived, and the peti `ion was referred to the committee of general purposes. PROCTORS' TOUTERS. The inquest of the Ward of Castle Baynard handed in to the Court a present men t, comp l a i n i ng of what was considered by the inhabitants of the district of Doctors' Commons and its vicinity a most obnoeXolOrlltlis nuisance—the obstru c ti ons o f th e avenues to the u in Doctors' Commons by the touters for the proctors, ladies in black were wh T o h a e re p r e i t ria ti l o s n fo s r ta ti n t f a s t . parti cularly liable to annoyance from the , habit a h t o o p u ue t s e i r n s g ,. were, %hen intoxicated, in tliy, of : abusive language, and it expressed very who Court would proceed rip. - - -0 0 1 onsly to the correction or the evil. Alderman WILSON s a id had been very the question Matthew Wood frequently before the court, that the and that the late Sir their endeavours to abate the nuisance, but all they could do had proved ineffectual. The fact was the and he bad been very active in touters were paid by the proctors for catching hold of claimants under wills, and from the competition that excited sprung the annoyance so heavily com plained of. Alderman HuMPHERY said that originally there had been no more than one ticket porter stationed iu the neighbourhood to direct parties in black to the place of business. Two more were afterwards ap pointed ; but it was found by some of the principal proctors that their casual business was very much on the decrease. Irquiry was made, and it was ascer tained that the porters were converted into touters for other proctors, and the consequence was that several other gentlemen with white aprons and red faces were employed, sad they plied bard fur their FURTHER PARTICULARS. SATURDAY EVENING.—The colliery consists of two pits near together. The deeper pit, of 127 yards, works the nine foot seam. The other pit, ninety yards deep, works the five foot seam. These two pits are connected by a shaft through the five foot seam down to the nine foot—an air furnace being connected with the shaft of the five foot pit, so as to create an up-draught. The explosion took place in the northern part of the workings of the deeper seam, but communicated by the shaft with the upper seam. The force of the explosion may be judged from the fact that the corve ascending the deeper shaft, loaded with 16 cwt. \ of coal, was projected into the air, and the coal fell around on every side like the cinders from a vol cano. An empty descending corve in the other shaft was thrown out of the pit, and fell at a considerable distance. The fire cage at the mouth of the pit was knocked to pieces, and several men were thrown down, but happily were not seriously injured. Eli Barber, with a party of about 16, were work ing in the southern portion of the mine when the ex plosion took place. They were hastening to the pit shaft, when they encountered the after damp, from the effects of which they were found almost insen sible, when James Froggatt and some other colliers descended and rescued them in a very exhausted state. One of the number, named Joseph Cooper, had actually reached the pit shaft, and had climbed by the conductors a considerable distance up the shaft. Of the party thus rescued, two were so much injured that they have since died. Of those enumerated above as seriously injure elWilliem Barraclough, Timothy Tinsley, n Abra ham Thompson are Eicce dead. Three other dead bodies have been got out of the pit since our former ec eorge count, K viz , John Garni c k, G eorge Hague, and Gnapton: It is reported that on Friday th e working order, with satisfactory ventilation. Betw:en seven and eight o'clock the fire engines from Rotherham proceeded to the pit to pump in water, in order to aid in restoring the ventilation.
