During the whole of last night workmen wee
employed pritllng up the cloth brattice in the theft
at Hartley 4.3bMfty. They bare wertglit vary
vigorously add successfully. The brattice is now
completed, end the men are securing it by meting
of buttting. Pipes have also been fixed between
the engine furnace and the high seam, which is
improving the ventilation. The sides of the shaft
have now been made quite secure, and the pumps,
which were id a dangerous condition, have been
rendered safe by means of large chains brought from
Hanks and Crawehay'a works. From the report
of the last " shift" that has come to bank, it is
fully expected that the exploring parties will go
down to work their way, if possible, to the yard
seam this afternoon. This is mush earlier
than was expected, and people are a little
more calm. Mr. G. B. Falter and Mr. Dollish
have been down as far as tip high seam, and they
report very favourably of the work accomplished
by the sinkers during the night. The pitmen be-
longing to the different collieries who have been
about the pit heap all the night, are conducting
themselves very orderly. A report is made to them
every four hours. Lndependeatly of the fifty
volunteer workmen whose assistance has been eo
freely given, there are other volunteers with prac-
tical knowledge and scientific' attainments who
have divided themselves into two motions, under
the leadership of Mr. G. R Folder, of North
Seaton, and Mr. Hurst, of Baokworth. The fol-
lowing is a list of their sema, sad they will go
down as soon as the air in the shaft is in a proper
condition. The first notion, under the guideline
of Mr. Foster, comprises Mr. Coulson, master
sinker ; Mr. J. Todd, Mr. Sanderson, Mr. Telford,
Mr. Humble, Mr. J. Humble, and Mr. W. Cole,
viewers. Second section, under the guidance of
Mr. 8. G. Hurst, consists of Mr. S. Crone,
viewer ; Mr. Marshall, engineer ; Mr. Robson,
viewer ; Mr. W. K. Horsley, engineer ; Mr. G.
lolightly, engineer ; and Mr. R. Parker, overman.

NEWOASTLE, WIDMISDAT Arrazoos.
A special edition of the Newcastle Journal, pub- I
lished at 3.40 p.m., says —"A: communication
has been effected with the yard seam, and within
a short distance of the entrance thereto. Two
saws and an axe have been found belonging to
some of the poor fellows who are still con-
fined in their dismal abode. The noxious gas
prevents any further penetration, but increased
efforts are in progress to continue the search. Tim
appearance of the timber still sticking in the shaft
shows that attempts had been made by the pri-
soners to cut away, as far as they could reach, the
obstructions in the shaft. The tools found are
rusty, as though not recently used, and the head
of the axe has the appearance of having been
used for jowling.' The men have evidently bees
driven into the interior workings by the bad air,
and they may still be alive. In anticipation of
such • result, numerous medical men have been
sent for, and everything has been arranged to meet
any emergency. The greatest excitement prevails,
and it is expected that a few hours will decide the
agonisiug suspense which everywhere exists."
A later edition of the same journal says :—" By
an effort almost superhuman, and a display of
courage worthy of the greatest hero, Adams, a noble
volunteer, descended the shaft, entered the furnace-
draft and the yard seam, where he discovered
several bodies. Proceeding through a clack-door
more bodies were found ; and on entering another
door a similar result showed the fatal effects of the
gas. Adams was too much exhausted to remain
longer, and came to the bank.
" This distressing intelligence created a great
sensation, and was received by the large crowds
with deep gloom. Adams was again going down at
five o'clock. He will provide himself with a lamp
by which means he hopes to ascertain more particu-
lars."

Another accounts says :—" Nearly 100 bodies
have been found. The air is very bad near the
furnace, but is purer further in. There is a chance
that some of the entombed may survive."

WEDNESDAY EiILNINN, 10 P.N.
At last the working parties have penetrated the
obstruction in the shaft, and have got into the yard
seam. Not a man or boy is living ! An awful
spectacle presented itself to the explorers. Men
were lying dead in every direction—the bulk of them
near to the shaft. Most of them appear to have
slept away placidly, though some strong men have
struggled desperately for life within the workings of
the pit. Little buys were found in the arum of
their fathers, and brothers were lying dead in each
other's arms.

The corn bins are empty, although there is a
pony lying dead iu the yard seam untouched. The
air is very foul in the shaft and weak iu the work-
ing-4o much so that most of the volunteers who
have penetrated into the pit have been brought to
bank seriously ill from the effects of the gas.
The men have been prevented from going down
the shaft again until the ventilation is Unproved.
The village of New Hartley is a scene of misery,
desolation, and woe, as nearly the entire working
population have been stricken with death.
