THE CASE OF THE MADIAI.

The following letter, on a bubject which is exciting
an interest so general in England and on the Conti-
nent, hu been addressed to Lord Shaftesbury :

Hynes, France, Nov. 11, 1852.
Dear Lord Shaftesbnry,-1 am hippy to be able to tell

intense and increasing. It is within my knowledge, from
both conversation and correspondence, that the indignation

A strong desire has been expressed to me, which I hare
been requested to communicate, that nothing short of the
unconditional liberation of the prisoners should be roe' iced
by their friends in various countries with expressions of
satisfaction. The deputation to Florence though it
has produced the most excellent effect: upon the
Italia pordation, and has united the hearts of good
aces throughout Christendom in an unprecedented
degree, kee, as we know, failed in its imme-
diate object aa regards the suffesen. It is thought
possible, however, that the Grand Duke (or it were more
plainspoken perhaps to say, the priests) may commute
ere ling their imprissament for exile. Should this be
done we shall be gin of it for the sake of the indivi-
&tali; but it is Wm* sin justly urged, that so long as
they are either in Omen or in exile, the ems must be

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A COLLIML—James Fun-
worth, a collier, of Singing Clough, Bolton, has lost hi. life
by the careless use of a naked candle in the mins where he
was working. He was employed by Heists. Knowles and
Stott, on Wednesday last, and having had occaaion to leave
a part of the wino in which he had been working, he »-
timed with a asked candle. During his shuns.* a quan-
tity of isibumnable gas had accumulated, and the conse-
quence was an a:plosion, by which he was so muck burnt
that he died hat Friday. An inquest we. held on view of
the body yesterday, and a verdict of " Accidental Death"
reentssid, the jury mthrusing their conviction that the fa-
tality was entirely owing to the unfortunate man's own act.
