Mr. Howard: Tour mind may not be clear enough to

Mr. Howard: The babble of an advocate is not half so

Mr. Howard: Very well, sir; I did not choose to be

NENTOILT, Friday night.

thio terrible calamity. The parties of from 12 to 14. who
werked shit ts of eb.mt four hours each, soon came amens
evid.srice of the fearful extent of the explosion. Not
many yards from the bottom of the abaft were seen twe
groups of dead bAteis, three in each, which were to •great

In a very short interval live others *enrolled and carried
to the temporary mortutry which had been arranged at
the idle of the engine yard. The remains of the deceased
miners Presented • very pitiable spectacle, most of them
being perfectly block, while the hair in nearly every case
was singed from the bead. Its • rule, however, with the
exception of the colour there was nothing repulsive in the
appearanceof the corpse', and one was led to the belief
i
that death n nearly all cues must have been instentans•
nos. During the day several other bodies were sent to the
surface, and up ro tour o'clock nine had been recovered
to-day, making 12 in all.
It is proposed to start a fund for the relief of the
sufferers, and it may be mentioned that there is something
like Cl 400 only remaining over from the (nod of ID years
ago. Many of the men were members of the local friendly
societies, and, of course, their relatives will receive the
benefits derivable from sec's • connection, but there can
be no doubt that an appeal to the generosity M the public
will be imperatively necessary.
The Mem Collier, (says • Cardiff contemporary) has the
reputation of being well and liberally managed. In testi-
fying to this fact one of the workmen stated that he had
seen a ore gas in a neighbeiring colliery in three months
than be had seen in Rims iu fifteen years. This testimony
is the more important, as the Rises Pit is known to

be exceedingly fiery," and the gm which is given
off in large quantita z has hitherto been ?endued
innocuous by a regular and scientific system of venti-
lation. Surmises are nature ly rife as to the came of the
explosion. It is a wer.kroiwn fact that these eccidente
almost iavariably occur in the presence of serious atmos-
pheric disturbance. On Weineeday night the electrical
condi! ion of the atmosphere was evidenced by a severe
thunderstorm ; and no violent and continuous were the
electrical discearget during the time of the explosion that
some scientific men have hazarded the opinion that the
explosion was occasioned liy a flash of lightning, whieh,
striking the Guilhsl ventilating fan, descended the shaft
in which it works, and ignited the gas which it is the
province of this fan to extract from the workings.
Evan Evans, under manatee of the colliery, who was the
fimt to go down the shaft, with a gang of millers, after the
explosion, makes the following statement—' I descended
the pit, I believe between five and six o'clock, taking
down with me six other., namely, one overman, four fire-
men, and one pitmte. We first tried to make our way to
the upcast pit. We sneeeeded in going between five and
six hundred yards. There were muse very bad falls from
the roof, and we had to group our way on our heads and
knees. We found a fall near the epeeist pit, within ten or
fifteen yards of the abaft, and then we were seat for to
come up at once, because the ventilation fen was disabled.
As soon as we had the fan right, about half-past eight or
nine o'clock, we went down spin. Mr. Llewellyn, the
general manager, who had in the meantime arrived,
myself, and fourteen men made op the party. We found
some heavy falls in the intake in the east side of the pit
We sew some bodies behind (be fall, but did not interfere
with the dead bodies, hoping to find some still living, for
, which we suppose it would be necessary to make the pit
' safe. We went along the east side about 500 yards, and
then went into the east level of the North Pit, about MO
yards, but saw no living bodies. The falls in the west
level were not so heavy aa in the east. We found gas in
' both places, as well as after-damp, and could not proceed
any further with the exploration on that account. The
body of the hitcher, Thomas Bowden, which was found
near the bolt ,m of the downcast abaft, f rlghtiully muti-
lated, het roc-reliable, was sent to the =dace before the
gang returned.
