The explosion. took place at three o'clock, in the morning, before the 'hewers had descended the pit, and from this circumstance about 169 lives have been preserved. Every exertion was made to render assistance to those in the mine ; and we regret to add, that two men fell a sacrifice to their humane endea vours, having been suffocated by the impure state of the air. The viewers and agents were extremely active; and had nearly shared the same fate.— Seven of the, bodies have already been brought to ;Ice hank.
