WORKMEN'S TREAT.—On Friday night last one of
those social gatherings which are no less creditable to
the promoters and originators, than to those who take
Hart in them, was celebrated by the workmen and others
in the employ of the Messrs. Cooke and Townsend,
drapers, Byrom-street, in their establishment. The
young men, assistants, and other employees of this firm,
met on the occasion referred to, and were entertained in
a most hospitable and sumptuous manner by the spirited
and enterprising gentlemen to whose services they devote
their time and energies. A dramatic performance, in
which the young men and assistants took past as dramatis
personce, brought the festive proceedings to a close.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BURY.—
On Friday, the young man, Lot Ivenson Leather,
charged with attempting to murder his sweetheart,
Jane Mooney, by shooting her with a pistol, and after-
wards attempting to shoot, hang, and drown himself,
and ultimately cut his own throat, was brought before
the magistrates at the Petty Sessions held at Bury, hav-
ing previously been remanded. Mr; Dliine, superinten-
dent of police, stated that from whet he had seen him-
self, and from information which he had received from
a medical man, the young woman was not in a fit con-
dition to attend the court, and therefore he applied that
the prisoner might be again remanded for a week. He
was remanded accordingly, and was then removed from
the dock. He was afterwards visited by his mother and
aunt, whom he encouraged to keep up their spirits,
assuring them that he should soon be back. We are
told that some of the members of the family have been
insane, and that an uncle is insane at the present time.
COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR DURHAM.--TWENTY
MEN KILLED.—SUNDERLAND, Friday, 4 p.in.—A fear-
ful explosion took place at Hetton Colliery, on Thursday
night, whereby several miners lost their lives, and which
has been the cause of great excitement arid sorrow in
that district. This colliery is the property of the Hetton
Coal Co., and is situated about nine miles south of
Sunderland. On Tuesday last the Lyons Pit, which is
150 fathoms in depth, was laid off work in consequence
of some necessary repairs in the shafts, and in the mean-
time one of the furnaces was extinguished. On Thurs-
day the pit was put into working order again, and
upwards of thirty-five miners went to work at nine p.m.
A fearful explosion of gas took place in the working of
the mine, whereby twenty miners were killed, the rest
having a providential escape. This morning, at ten
o'clock, nine of the miners dead bodies were found and
brought to the bank. The greatest efforts are now
being made, both by the viewers and the workmen iu
searching for the remainder. Several of these unfor-
tunate men have left widows and large families to lament
their lOss. Owing to this explosion the extensive
operations at this colliery have been suspended for the
present.

vigour, if a fair trial be given to these admirable pills. They
are like Medea's celebrated drug, which renewed to old CEson,
King of Thessaly, his youth and strength. They gently
stimulate the too enfeebled vital organs.

LATEST FASHIONS.—The bride's dress worn at a
recent fashionable wedding elicited general admi:eation.
It was at once rich and simple. The material was
white imperial satin. The skirt was made with a traief
and trimmed with five fluted flounces, each about two
inches broad, and the whole trimming ascending only
to the height of a quarter of a yard from the edge of
the dress. The corsage was fastened with buttons. The
sleeves were shaped to the elbow, and had revers trim-
med with a small fluted ruche of white satin. The
under sleeves were small puffs of tulle illusion, trimmed
with a ruche of tulle, and a similar ruche passed rounil
the upper edge of the corsage. No ornament of jewel-
lery was worn with the dress ; and instead of a bouquet
de corsage. a single spray of orange blossoms was placed
on one side near the shoulder. A spay of orange
blossoms was also placed above the bandeaux of hair in
front; and the back hair, which was fixed by a large
tortoiseshell comb, was dressed in plaits, descending low
at the nape of the neck. A wedding dress just com-
pleted in Paris for an English lady of fashion, is composed
of rich white silk, trimmed with magnificent flounces of
lace lined with stiff tulle. The corsage is pointed in front
and at the back, and the sleeves have trimmings of lace
fixed by a bow of ribbon ; the under sleeves are at the
wrists. Velvet is a favourite trimming for dresses. A
dress composed of grey silk has been very prettily trimmed
with three band of violet velvet disposed alternately
with two flounces of silk scalloped at the edge. The
bands of velvet are of graduated width, the broadest
being placed quite on the edge of the dress. A band of
medium width is placed between the two flounces, and
the narrowest band surmounts the whole trimming. The
corsage, high and plain, has revers and a ceinture
trimmed with rows of violet velvet ; the sleeves are, at
the upper part, formed of two full puffs, beneath which
is a deep loose cuff or fall of silk, open on the outer part
of the arm. and edged round with violet velvet. Under-
sleeves of white lace open at the ends, and a blonde cap
trimmed with flowers, are to be worn with the dross just
mentioned.--Lad, 8 Newspaper.
