Wo do not learn that there is any change in the
intention of the associated mechanics and engineers,—(the
millwrights, it seems, do not make common cause with
them) ; and we presume that ate r this day, and, with it,
the present year have expired, all the large machine making
and engineering establishments in this neighbourhood,
which sow present such interesting scenes of active industry,
great manual skill, and unrivalled mechanical invention,
will become silent and &sorted, at all events, for a short

period; aad the workmen emplojed in them, who are now
earn* headsoato wages, and generally maintaining their
families in eionsfeet and plenty, will be dependent upon the

demand are, eat a begs member of machine makers would

the use of medium in machine manufactories his created
a new dmommil he a @petite of unskilled labour which
did not previously exist; but it has not only not
diminish , bet actually increased, and that to •
great enlist, the demand for skilled mechanics. The
growth of our machine-making establishments is the
best proof of Nis; and the number of skilled artisans
now employed in our great manufactories, is a convincing
testimony that the saving of labour in one direction has
multiplied the demand for it in others. Is there • single
workshop in Maachester that would not amply verify this
statement? What right has the machine maker to demand
that somebody else should be deprived of work to provide
additional means of employment for himself ? le his indus-
try to be protected at the expense of men who have none of
his acquired advantages? He is paid for his skill as • ma-
chine maker; but if he chooses to descend to the level of the
unskilled labourer, the probability is that his services in
that capacity would always command a preference at the
market price. What he wants, however, IS a monopoly for
himself at • higher rate of wages than the work is worth.
He seeks to exclude for his own advantage one clue of
workmen from the workshops, and insists upon being paid
twin ma much into the bargain. Is this protecting
industry, or meeting the right of a privileged clue? lies
I not the man whose labour is worth a guinea a week quite
as good a claim to employment as the man who thinks he
should have two? When, therefore, machine-makers com-
bine to make their masters dispense with ono section of
their workmen for the exOnideo benefit of another, what is
this but an attempt on the part of one class of working
men to deprive some other class of the means of employ-
ment, and to compel their employers to become the instru-
ments of their tyranny? Machine-makers have a perfect
right to put their own price on their own labour, but they
have no right to insist that the labour of other people
shall be transferred to them, and that they shall
be paid what they please for doing it. There might have
been some show of plausible regard for the interests
of labour, if the machine-makers had demanded that
their own rate of wages should be given to the workmen
now employed in merely superintending certain machines ;
but no, they insist upon " the unconditional discharge of all
labourers, or such class of persons at present engaged in
working planing machines, or tools of similar character,
and the employment in their stead of mechanics, members
of the Union ' Here then we have a direct conspiracy of
a highly skilled and generally believed to be superiorly
intelligent body of working men to do what ?—to enforce
any just claim of their own upon their employers ?—no—
but to deprive another class of operatives of their present
means of livelihood, for their own exclusive advantage. Is
this justice or fair play ? Is there an aristocracy of working
men entitled to victimise their fellows, and demand that any
body of labourers shall be deprived of employment for their
special behoof ? Stripped of the gloss which an affected
defence of the rights of labour throws over the proceedings
of this Mechanies"rrades' Union, what is the naked truth
but stark tyranny, dictating terms at war with interests in
every shape u sacred as their own ?
The other propositions of the Union are quite as indefen-
sible, though not so monstrous, u the one wo have
commented upon. They have put forth claims utterly in-
compatible with the heed conditions of trade. They
have !sought not redress for reasonable wrongs,
but the most outrageous concession to terms which involve
absolute capitulation to atyranny as,destructive to the rights
of labour, as it would prove fatal to the security of capital.
We trust that the rash counsels which have precipitated
the crisis will not be suffered to prevail in face of the exi-
gency that has been provoked. We are glad to learn that
there is somo prospect of an adjustment, without the fearful
alternative determined upon by the masters in case of any
•ogle strike. The closing of all the machine manufactories
in I.saiem sad Lancashire would be a most costly experi-
Mat WI to men and masters. The inevitable result to
the ossisaiss would be lose of labour and sure defeat. The
bars se IMO he an appeal even to public opinion, much
less he a asalest in which all forces, moral and material,
would be arrayed against Nam. The grounds they have
take vender compromise impossible without a surrender
of all eentrol over their own establishtnents on the part of
their employers. Their legitimate grievances are within
reach of a legitimate remedy ; but when men assert • claim
to "role the destinies" of a trade by denying all free
agency to those who have their whole substance at stake
on its prosperity, society at large becomes at once im-
perilled by the mere possibility of success to such extrava-
gant demands, and nothing lem than their derisive and
complete discomfiture, at all hazards, would vindicate the
requirements of the occasion.

THE RAWMAItSH COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

The evidence of Mr. Morton, the government M-
ot mines, which was given in ortolan in yesterday's
sorty:wr ss, went to show the cause of the explosion and
the degree of blame attaching to the various managers and
servants connected with the colliery. Mr. Morton then
gave the followingsuggestions fur the future regulation of
the signet—lt will be needful in future, when a new beak
is opened out, to light it for souse time entirely with safety
lamps until the roof has become freely broken down. it Ls
reasonable to conclude that if the No. 3 beak, which was
comparatively a new one, had been worked with safety
lamps the recent calamity might have been avoided.
The trap-doom have hitherto been only single in this
pit; they ought to bo double so u to prevent leakage
of air. The oupply of fresh air at present is conveyed
around this pit in one current only, but it will be needful
ere long to divide it into two or mere separate streams by
which the total quantity of air will be greatly augmented ;
all obstructions in the airways and shafts, such as carves
and cages, should be removed at night, and cages with open
grating instead of solid bottoms are always preferable. It
is dargerous to continue the golds of that pit iu their pre-
sent stagnant condition, and in future it will Ms much safer
to allow a portion of fresh air to pew them, and thus pre-
vent them from being what they now are--extensive gas
holders. It is well known that several of the great explo-
sions during the lot few years at Haswell and around
Barnsley have been more or less augmented, if they have
not originated, with the pent-up fire-damp of the
goats. Any future emergency in this pit—and we
know not how soon it may come—must in my
judgment be met either by greatly increased ventila-
tion or by the exclusive use of the safety lamp. It is not
difficult if fairly attempted to treble the quantity of air now
passing through this mine by a modificatiou of tho existing
ventilating arrangements. fhe airways are et present suf-
ficiently huge, their sectional area being from thirty to fifty
square feet. The staple it which connects the thick coal
works with the ventilating furnace is too small in diameter,
its sectional area being less than that of the underground
air-roads. Thu smallest diameter of this staple pit is six
feet, and it should be increased to nine feet at least. The
furnace ought to be entirely removed tram the five feet
mine into the thick coal below, and the present downcast
shaft converted into an upcast, and glee reran. According
to existing arrangements, the upcast column is nut only
the smallest in diameter, but the shortest in length, and,
to make the ventilation effective, these cnuilitioua ahuutd
be completely reversed. At the same time it will be ad-
visable to sink a new air pit, which might hereafter be
used as a drawing shaft, from the surface down to the five
feet mine, at or near the face of the north-west levels in that
seam, (or the purpose of airing the five feet works sepa-
rately. Eventually the thick coal shaft, which is of ample
diameter, and about twice the depth of the other pit, would
become the upcast for the whole system. As the thick coal
is now known to disengage suddenly abundant feeders of
inflammable gas it will be rater in future to exclude ea
much as possible naked lights from the return air-ways, and
to avoid passing the return air over the furnace. The pro-
posed new furnace in the thick coal may be supplied with
fresh air only, and the vitiated and gaseous atmosphere of
the mine may be passed up an inclined drift into the upeast
shaft without coming in contact with the flames of the fur-
nace at all. I feel quite satisfied that these recommenda-
tions and suggestions if carried into effect would greatly
tend to improve the general condition and safety of that
mine, and I am equally satisfied that Messrs. Charlesworth,
with advantage to themselves as well as to the workmen,
will act wisely in adopting them.
By the Coroner-1 am clearly of opiuion that the ex-
plosion was caused accidentally by the fall of the roof in
the goat No. 3 beak, which fall drove out the gas upon the
workmen's lights.
By Mr. Smith—Supposing the ventilation to be trebled
might not a similar break in the roof produce a similar re-
salt ? _ .

Mr. Morton—Possibly it might, but it is not my opinion
that it would.

Mr. Benj. Byram, of Wentworth—l have been mineral
agent to Earl Fitzwilliam for nearly 20 years. I, along with
Mr. Morton and other gentlemen, inspected the new 111110 feet
pit at the Warren Vale Colliery, on Monday, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the origin of the explosion. We found
strong evidence that the tire had extended through nearly
the whole of the workings; and from the state of the third
beak, and from the direction which the blast appeared to
have taken from that point, I am decidedly of opinion
that the first ignition of the gas was in that third hank.
In all material points I concur with the evidence of Mr.
Morton. Wherever there is the least suspicion of explosive
air the pit ought to be examined by the fire-trier at least
two hours before the men go down, and the state of the
goals, as well as the general air passages, ought to be care-
fully examined. In this instance the gas was no doubt
fired by the fall of the root. I cannot impute criminal
blame to any one, but there seems to have been a laxity of
discipline in examining and reporting on the general state
of the pit, arising in my opinion from the belief that there
was no inflammable gas in the pit. Tho explosion proves
the contrary. If I nad been asked my opinion about the
Warren Vale pit a week before the accident I should have
said, judging from oar own pits in the neighbourhood, that
this pit was efficiently ventilated.
Mr. Jeficeek, general colliery viewer, Sheffield, and Mr.
C. Locke, mineral surveyor, stated their concurrence with
the evidence given by Messrs. Mcrton and Byram.
In he course of the inquiry a juror asked Mr. Morton
whether he had power to descend and examine all the coal-
pits in hit district ?
Mr. Morton said he had that power undoubtedly, but if
he was to begin now it would occupy him two or three
years unremittingly to make a personal inspection of all
those pia. Hit whole time was pretty nearly taken up by
occasions like this. . _

The Coroner remarked that under the act of parliament
of the session of 1549 there were only four inspectors of
mines appointed, and experience had proved that the num-
ber was decidedly too low. Mr. Morton, for instance, had
about 2,000 or 3,000 eoalpits in his district, which consisted
of the counties of York, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester,
and Warwick. The coroner further observed that it was
his intention to confer with government with a view to the
appointment of additional inspeeton, in order that there
might be an occasional anticipatory examination of mines,
without which it would be impossible to prevent these Esie.
mitosis accidents.

At the close of the evidence, Mr. Charlesworth rose and
said the jury would probably wish to know what part he
and his partners took in the management of the colliery.
The fact was that, having a number of collieries, some of
them situated at considerable distances from each other, •
personal superintendence was impracticable. That being
so, they gave their orders to Mr. Goodison (in whom they
reposed the greatest confidence), that the ventilation
should be well attended to, and that the safety of the mine
should be itedulopsly taken care of. He would now read a
notice that the, had already got printed : " Notice.—
' Itawmarsh Colliery.—The proprietors order that no person
be allowed to descend the pits until the bottom steward,
or • sae that he has confidence in, has been down and
examined the works, and reported them all safe. It is
likewise ordered that the engineman shall not allow any
Mu be go down until the bottom steward has reported
Him all ash.—By order, William Goodison " That regu-
lades wield be enforced at all their collieries. He felt
us 7 dialdthd for the suggestions made by Mr. Morton,
and hs begged to say that, as far as lay in their power,
NA se far as they were practicable and reasonable, they
skald be carried out.
There being no other witnesses for examination, the in-
quiet was then adjourned to Friday.
