A melancholy accident took place in the bay of
Dungarvon on Saturday last. A schooner named
the Barry King, from Runcorn, with a cargo of
' coals, having struck on some reeks in the bay, a
party of nine men went out from the town to render
assistance, when, unfortunately, eight of the pooc
fellows were lost by the capsising of their boat in the
surf. The crew of the schooner were saved.
The subjoined account of the capture of a whole
Ribbon lodge, while sitting in full conclave, in the
county of Longford, is given by a correspondent of
the e lholotis Bspress :
dm tmuning ef the 14th inst., and soon after the ram
of Orator& had ended foe the day, Sub-inspector Heine-
worth, is charge of the coestabulary of the Onward dis-
trict, noting, we prawns, on private information, proceeded
to a small public-house in the tewe, end there found eight
fellows sitting, with all their Ribbon papers on the table
before them, the algae and pass-words for the previous
uarter, to., es also two threatening notices of a violent
, ens of than directed to • respected Protestant
dowse& of the neighbourhood, Ilea Other to a fanner who
had newly takes same land, while one of the party was
in the stet Cl writing a third threatening notice. The ap-
ples& of sews unarmed polies to the house, while an
armed one was placed in the immediate locality, was ea
discreetly managed by the police-officer, Mr. Hemsworth,
that the Ribbon party was completely surprised, and
resistance put out of the question. An active stipendiary
magistrate, Mr. Denby, being in attendance, the party
were fully tatuutitted, sad immediately dispatched to Long-
ford gaol on four jawing eon, with a sufficient escort, to
await their trial at the next rises.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.—On Monday last T.
C. Maynard, Beg., coroner for Easington Ward, in the
county of Durham. opened an inquest at the Colliery
Hotel, Helton village, near Houghton-le-Spring, on the
bodies of James Walker, aged 23, and Wm. Atkinson and
John Blakey, boys, wfie were killed by the explosion of a
boiler at Helton Colliery on Saturday last. It appears that
when the explosion took place the deceased were all engaged
in their respective duties at the boiler. Walter si.is tire-
Iran, and the two boys were assisting him in supplying the
fire with coals, when the boiler, which is a large tubular
' one, 8 feet by 24, gave way with a terrific explosion, tearing
away the brickwork, and displacing two other boilers,
one on either side. The fireman was overwhelmed
with boiling water, and scalded to death. The
boys were dreadfully crushed and disfigured. One
of them was caught by a portion of the boiler, and carried
with it a distance of nearly a hundred yards. The upper
and larger portion was thrown aloft into the air, over the
ehinsoey-top of the engine-house, and deposited upon the
coal heap, nearly a hundred yard. from the place where it
had lain. This large fragment caught the Isankman, who
was hurriedly attempting to escape, and wounded him
severely in the leg, so much so as to render amputation
neceuary to save his life. Several other persons were at
work on the pit-heap, and narrowly escaped injury. After
the jury had viewed the bodies, the inquest was adjourned
to Wednesday. We understand that the boiler had been a
long time in use, and was about to be replaced by a new
one. Nicholas Wood, Esq., and partners, are the owners
of the colliery.
