CHARGE OF MURDER.—A person of the name of
John Carnegie, a crofter at &ruhall, in the parish of Mary-
kirk, has been committed to prison at Stonehaven, under a
sharp of murder. The victim is said to have been his
hotherfa-law, who is thought, from the doctor's report, to
have bees bled to death. There was a severe wound in the
11 bask of the deceased's head, and his skull was fractured.
Tk• body was for a abort time buried before any suspicionwere entertained, and, when taken up, it was found to be
destitute of a drop of blood. The cause of the murder is
not known. It is said that, in consequence of one of the
medical men being about to leave this country for Aus-
tralia, Carnegie is to be tried in Edinburgh in a few weeks.

TER ELSECAE COLLIERY EEPLOSIOIL-REPORT
OF TEI OOVERNMINT INOPECTOR,—ELSECAR. SATUR.
DAY.—At the adjourned investigation by the coroner into
the cause of this lamentable explosion, by which eight per-
sons were suddenly hurried into eternity, and another has
since died, several of the workmen were examined, and
their evidence disclosed a laxity of discipline and disobe-
dience of orders in the management which it is most im-
portant should be immediately remedied. Every precau-
tion appears to bare been taken by Mr. Biram, Earl Fits-
william's manager, in providing for the safe working of the
pit; but for want of some official supervision of those
entrusted with the execution of those orders and regula-
tions, many of the most important had become a dead letter.
This was the ease with respect to the safety lamps which
the men were required to use, and any tampering with
which was visited with an immediate discharge. All the
men knew this; but as the pit was frequently left without
overlookers, some of the men embraced these opportunities
to remove the top from their lamps, and work with the
naked flame. To this cause the explosion was attributable ;
for after it had taken place, three lamps were found
In the banks where it was the most severe,
which had been tampered with in this manner.
Mr. Charles Morton, one of her Majesty's inspectors of
mines, having on Thursday gone through the workings in
' company with Mr. Biram and other colliery managers,
stated in his evidence before the coroner his opinion that
the explosion was caused by the leaving open of a trap-
door in the long south hoard-gate, by which • quantity of
gas was allowed to accumulate, and when the door was
afterwards closed this gas was carried forward along the
north side of the board-gate into a bank, where a man,
named Stanton, who was killed by the explosion, was im-
properly working with his lamp top off, and at the flame of
whose lamp the gas fired. Mr. John T. Woodhouse, of
Overlord, Leicestershire; Mr. T. D. Jeffeock, of Sheffield ;
and Mr. E. C. Webster, of 'Ryland, colliery-viewers, who
accompanied Mr. Morton in the examination of the pit,
concurred with him as to the cause of the explosion, and in
various suggestions he had made in respect to the manage-
meta. As the boy Linley, on whom the blame rests of
having left open the trap-door, was stated by the surgeon
to be unfit to be brought before the jury for examination,
the inquest was further adjourned until Thursday next,
when it is expected to close.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—Another fatal ac-
cident, we regret to say, took place on Thursday, at the
Upper Soundwell Colliery, about four miles from Bristol,
by which an unfortunate man, named Green, lost his life.
It appears that on the day in question the unfortunate col-
lier, John Green, was at work clearing rubbish from the
crock under the coalhouse. He had loaded the bucket
with rubbish, and it had ascended a short distance up the
shaft, when the rope—a three cord flat one—broke at the
upper end, near the engine. The rope, in its descent down
the shaft, coiled round and fell upon the unfortunate man's
head, in which position he remained for a short time alive,
as another man, named Cook, who was also in that part of
the pit, conversed with him, and said, " I wish I hail •
light ;" upon which Green replied, " It would be no use to
hue a light to a dead man." Cook fortunately escaped,
but his unhappy companion perished. He remained under
the rope, the weight of which was upwards of two tons, for
upward,' of eight hours before he could be extricated, but
his death must have ensued very shortly after the accident.
