to do so by the medical men. for maltary reagne, would
have prevailed upon the widows to allow the anon mot to
be removed to their dwellings, but out of regard to the
feelings of the poor widows, they absolutely refused to in-
terfere. A long relay of colliery farm-oarta were kill in

dently • part of the division from the Iron Ida in
the gable. During daylight, with the esseption of
seer two or three, upon whom decomposition had rapidly
set ia, the aspect of the dead was far from repulsive. They
had evidently quietly slept away. Their clothes however
were drenched with wet, siting from being brought up the
abaft, down which the water seems to pour in a torrent.
The bodies as soon as they were brought to bulk were wrapt
in a cotton sheet, and if they were identified, their names
were inscribed upon a coffin auto which they were placed.
The cola was put on a roily and removed to or of the
carts in waiting, and from three immeditely hikes bathe
bereaved homes. Those not identified were coined, and
"unknown" written in chalk on the ooffio, which was ini-
meliately taken away to a storehouse, and from thence
removed as soon as identified to their homes. Of
course many pitiful and distressing scenes have been wit-
nessed to-day. The pit rows, on which are the
cottages of the pit-folk, are no great distance from
the mine—indeed a view of the shaft can almost be cow-
!needed front the cottage doors. Upon the discovery of the
bodies in the mine the " fountain of tears" bad been nearly
dried up. But to-day, u each poor wife began to put her
here in order to receive home the remains of her lost hus-
band, or a mother her child, the scene of misery in the
bereaved community cannot be described. And it is but
fair to state that while large crowds of persons have been
assembled round the pit all this day, bat few, led
away by vulgar cariosity, have obtruded themselves upon
the sorrows of those poor widows and fatherless children by
Wag about the rows. It is expected that fully or
hundred bodies will be got out of the pit by midnight, and
that the bodies of the larger portion of the lost men will be
brought to bank. No stoppage has arisen through gas or
"falls," or is likely to do so.
The funerals will most likely take place to-morrow after-
mom The place of interment is &Mon, about five miles
from here, the Duke of Northumberland having given a
piece of land for the purpose. Mr. Holland, the inspector
el graveyards, has been sent down here by the governmesit,
and has arrived to-day, to see that proper sanitary require-
ments are attended to in their interment.

Manchester has convened • meeting for Tesedey, the 4th

THE EMBANKMENT OF TUN TUAIiD4.—A copy of
the bill which Mr. Cowper, the First Commissioner of
Works, intends to introduce iota parliament, on the subject
of the Thames embankment, was forwarded on Friday
evening to the Metropolitan Board of Works. An
Mallon was given at the close of the lest session, that the
proceeds of the coal tan would he applied toward, the ex.
panes of the embankment recommended b the commis-
sioners, and that the work should be carried out under the
anpenutendetice of the Metropolitan Hoard of Works. The
101 l which has Dow been prepared, provides that the em-
bankment shall be confided to • commission to be specially
appointed for the purpose. Four members of the Metro-
politan Beard and two of the City Commission of Sewers
are to lie nominated as forming part of the commission ;

and one poor woman had no less than seven coffins
piled up in her cottage, containing the remains of

The meeting of friends was deeply afflicting. The
houses of the bereaved look models of cleanliness
and order. The coffins containing the remains are
laid upon the well-known pitmen's four-post bed-
reads, with white coverlets over there. Long
strings of carts arrived at 1 o'clock, and when the
coffins were brought to the doors previous to being
• lifted into them, the Methodist hymn, " 0 Ciotti

cadence amid the wailing of the widows and the
