COAL-PIT EXPLOSION AT WEDNESIWItY.—Osi
correspondent at Birmingham writes us that another
explosion took place yesterday mondny, in a coal mine
occupied by McEra. Russell and Son, at Wcdnesbury, the
consequence of which was that six men were very seriously
injured. It seems that the men had been down the pit about
two hours when the explosion took place. Previous, how-
ever, to their commencing work, some of them took the
seety-lamp and tried the pit with the doggy, the latter re-
marking that there were only about two or three inches of
fire-damp in the roof of an old working, and that " it would
not hurt." The men accordingly proceeded to their employ-
ment, About eight o'clock a quantity of rock accidentally
fell from the roof of the pit, carrying with it the combustible
matter, this was ignited by the candle which a man named
Meake was using, thereby causing the explosion. The
doggy, Thomas Doliman, is very much injured. John
Daman, T. Bellamy, J. Herrington, T. Walker, S. Good-
win, and J. Meake, are all very much burnt, some of them
not being expected to recover. The works are blown to
atoms, so that the proprietors must sustrin considerable
damage. As usual in these cases, which are becoming of
almost daily occurrence, no cause is assigned for the
accident.

DECLARATION OF WAR

BY RUSSIA.

We have just received letters from Cologne, dated
July the 3rd, afternoon. The Cologne Gu:etle had
received news from Berlin, stating that the Em-
peror of Russia had issued a manifesto of war against
Germany, on the pretended ground of the German
slaughter of Russian subjects, and of the continued
prosecution of the Danish war. The intelligence had
been received at Berlin with calmness and resolution ;
and it was the earnest hope and belief amongst the
more intelligent that the declaration would
unite all parties throughout Germany, and that
the war-cry would be " Freedom to the Poles !" The
Russian army, of 250,000 men, was in movement, and
immediately to enter Germany.
The constitution of the new cabinet at Berlin, and
its known hostility to Russia, had, it to believed
caused the Emperor to precipitate this declaration of
war.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 30.
THE reform party in parliament are resolved to do
their duty. At the urgent request of the members
who meet at the Free Trade Club, Sir WILLIAM
MOLESWORTII has waived his claim to priority for
his colonial motion on the 20th of June in favour of
Mr. Hume. A sacrifice of this kind, by one who
knows so well as Sir WILLIAM the necessity of
large and systematic colonial reforms, and who, by
many years' study of the subject, has so completely
mastered it, and acquired such an interest in it, is
as strong a proof as he could give of the preponder-
ating importance he attributes to the ques-
tion of parliamentary reform. That Mr. HOME
and his friends should have asked such a

ITALY.—The reports of the intentions of the go-
vernment of Venice in reference to the annexation to
Piedmont are contradictory.
It was stated that a resolution had been taken to
pursue the same course as had been resolved on in
Lombardy, and to ascertain by universal suffrage the
sense of the population on the question. We find,
however, the Libero Itoliano of the 20th announcing
that on the 19th a resolution had been takeo, that the
political condition of Venice: should not be flied fill
after the termination of the war.

Letters announce that the gallant Antonini, who
left Venice at the head of 1,200 men, had had a mur-
derous encounter with the Austrians, and that he had
lost an arm.

It was reported that the fort of Mendell& at Pea-
chiem had been taken by the Piedmontese, and that
the fort Salvi had sufferea much. It is thought that
Peachier& must shortly submit.

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, MAT 29.
Having quoted, on the authority of the Witness, that
several official persons connected with the free church
in Yarrow, had been removed from the Duke of Bac-
clench's property, it is but fair to mention that the
lewl agent of the duke has addressed a letter to the
paper in question, in which he describes the state-
inenta u " base, unfounded, and calumnious."
The General Assembly, as might have been ex-
pected, has condemned the Marriage and Registration
Bills, but it is rather remarksble that Professor Ito-
, hertsoa, of Edinburgh, one of the ablest and most in-
", fletential members of the court, made a long and clear
*fence of them, but, seeing that the feeling of the
OUIII3 was against him, be proposed no counter-motion,
and contented himself with simply entering his dis-
sent. Ilia exhibition in the matter is, however, a
moat vital flaw in the (+wind npposition.

The DANISH WAR IN LEITH.—On Friday the
Filmier' seamen in the t:cocks—who are very numerous at
present being afraid to return to their own country iu con-
arquenci of the Danish ships of war which are cruising on
tri seas and capturing many of the Prussian ships—in re-
venge, sweetubled in a strong body, tom.- of them carrying
sticks and bludgeons, and threatened to attack the Danish
acumen there, and defied them to come ashore. This stale of
matters continued, more or less, till Sunday afternoon, when
thi y again mustered and offered battle to the Danes, who
are the weaker party. One of the Danish seamen received a
severe beatire,, which caused the others to retreat and re-
main under deck for a while. By this time the police, who
were before ignorant of what was going on owing to the
difficulty the foreigners had of communicating the facts of
thecae., were at last made acquaintea with the circumstanced,

NEWS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY, II A.Y.
The journals of last night and this morning add
nothing of the slightest interest to the report of
the meeting of the assembly yesterday which I
sent you last evening. Paris this morning presents
the external aspect at least of the utmost tranquillity
and order. Nothing is seen or beard to disturb the
most ordinary routine of the capital.
The night before last the presidents, chiefs, and
official members of all the most ultra clubs held pri-
vate
meetings, from which the mass of the members
were excluded, the purpose of which was un-
derstood to be to decide upon the mea-
sures to bo taken according to the eventualities of
the succeeding days. The imposing military force
deployed yesterday ; the cordial good feeling mani-
fested between the national guard and the line, and
the unanimity and order exhibited in the assembly,
will no doubt cool down the ardour of these turbulent
spirits.
But independently of thews discouragement" for
them, indications have been made of the prevalence
of sentiments, cveu among the operative classes them-
eel% es, not over friendly to the instigators of numbers
against property and intelligence. A journal yester-
day gives the following report of the way in which
their incendiary placards have been in some cases
dealt with:
A great yellnw placard, containing Blanqui's manifesto,
was stuck up iu several paces in the Quaruer des Halles,
Roe de Is Monnaie, and Rue Boucher. Animated grouts
were foamed bef.,re a copy of the placard, which was
protected by too in,lividuals, who, sec irding to all ap-
pearaaces, were members of the Socieih Republicaine
Centrals. NotwithetaLding the piesence of these two men,
a mason atrempied to tear down the placard, express
rdi ing
his indignation in ens rgetic terms. The two guardians
of the placard announced their intention of arresting this
citizen, and ut conducting him to the offices of the club. But
he numerous defenders in the crowd assembled before
the placard. The crowd then saw, not without aurprse,
seven or eight inn armed with muskets, and probsbly be-
longing to the St/Clite ItCoublicaine Centrale, arrive. Not-
withstanding the arrival of these armed men, the placard
was torn sod covert d with dirt.
The editor of La Pressr, who, right or wrong, often
takes startling and original views, is of opinion that
the most unbridled freedom of disuuesion should be
allowed, and that individuals such as Blanqui or
Barb& should h.: permitted, without restraint, to post
the walls with the most inflammatory placards. The'
remedy of La Pressc is to neutralise them by posting
counter-intiammatory placards beside them.
The Notional Asai.m-ily to-day will again assemble
at noon in the bureaux, and will continue the verifi
cation of the titles of the members. At one o'clock
the public sverion will commence, when the returns
reported valid in the bureaux. will be ratified. The

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

We have Hamburg papers of the 2nd inst.
A letter from Elsinore, of the let, states that an
embargo was then being laid by the Danish authori-
ties upon all vessels, without exception, belonging to
the German Confederation. Amongst other, the ship
Hermann, Captain Huthro, from Bahia to Stettin, has
been stopped at that port.
The Copenhagen journals of May I, contain a
short address of the King of Denmark to the inhabi-
tants of Copenhagen, thanking them for the marks of
devotion and attachment which they had manifested
towards him since his return home ; assures them of
his love, and promises that he will go hand in hand
with them, and share their lot in weal or woe.—The
king arrived at Copenhagen on the 29th.

RUSSIA.

SUPPOSED REVOIiIii_ST, PETERSBURG

AND MOSCOW.
The Cologne Gazette of the 4th contains an article
from Warsaw, under date April 20, in which it is as-
serted that a military revolt has broken out amongst
the guards in St. Petersburg, and a popu-
lar one in Moscow. It is stated also that
there arc numerous cases of desertion from
the Russian army in Poland. It appears that
the provinces of Volbynia and Podolia are
only awaiting a favounible moment to raise
the standard of revolt, and that even the Jewish in-
habitants are very friendly to the cause of Polish
nationality.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.

MANCHESTER.
Answers to the circulars issued from Newkirk
Buildirgs, of which we gave a copy iii the Express of
Saturday last, have begun to flow in rapidly, and yesterday
morning's post brought several hundreds. In the whole,
shout 1.100 had come to hand yesterday, and without excep-
tion they give most explicit replies to the questions about
household suffrage, vote by ballot, equal electoral districts, and
triennial parliaments; and are generally favourable—indeed,
strongly approve and urge the movement. Among t them are
men or all professions known in the middle ranks of life, irecinit.
log bankers, merchants, manufacturers, ministers of religion,
b .rioters and attorneys, besides men of independent fortune
and magistrates. Of the whcic, about 90 per cent. are en-
tirely favourable to the movement ; and of the remainder
about 6 per cent. are unfavourable, and the other ii per tent.
only favourable to particular points. For intrAnce,.ome ap-
prove of household ouffiage, the ballot and triennial parlia-
ments, and some object to the ballot, or to electoral districts,
or triennial parliaments. On the other hand, am,osgst those
decidedly favourable, there aro more than .5 per cent. who
are willing to go with the present movement though favour-
able to universal suffrage. To show that there expressions of
assent are not merely derived from& district, or limited portion
of the country, it may be mentioned that amongst the im-
mense mass of correspondence which hu come to band are

PRUSSIA.—We have received our files of
papers from Berlin of the 28th, Vienna of the
and Cologne of the 29th. From Berlin we learn
Count Von Kanitz has been named Prussian Mini
at War; he left Coblentz on the evening of the
for Cologne, and left the latter place en route
Berlin. fhe appointment of M. von Patow as Minister
of Commerce and Public Works has occasioned
greatest dissatisfaction ; and this has been much
creased by the announcement that M. von Ronne,
of all others, would have been the man for that _
is again appointed by a cabinet order ambassador
North America.
The -Prussian Official Gazette of the 27th c.
tains a decree calling together a general evangeli-
cal synod for Prussia. Tue Ofyiend Ga.:elte of
28th contains a royal decree for raising 15,000,e'
thalers in the shape of a loan of the state.
A decree was published at Posen on the
by the president, dissolving the standing commit
inasmuch as it does not take cognisance of the
security. The commandant has also given noun
after the 21st inst. no person will be permit
enter the city after eight o'clock at night, or L

LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY, 6,30 r.x.
Considerable agitation has prevailed to-day is the
government, in consequence of a proceeding on the
I part of the National Guard yesterday,which,it is Low
understood, was intended as a protestation, by a large
majority of that body, against the head of the govern-
ment. Although the National Guard was invited to
attend the review in great forte, it was found that not
more than 300 men mastered for each battalion, and
in one battalion the number was under 230.
This rebuke, proceeding from such a body, has been
keenly felt, and has given serious uneasiness
to the head of the government. It is generally under-
stood that several causes of dissatisfaction have led
to this species of negative demonstration; the first
and principal is thee offensive expressions used by
Gen. eavougnac against the legitimist party, and
particularly against mane legions of the National
Guard, which he affirmed were oonepirieg agaitet the
government. The second cause was that the govern-
ment abstained from contradicting &report, wirch wax
generally circulated, of the arrest of two high mili-
tary functionaries, ucderstood to be Gen. Lamoriciere,
Minister of War, and Gem Changernier, Commander
of the National Guard. The third cause assigned
was the dissatisfaction produceu by the distribution
of the moms of the Legion of Honour among the
legions of the National Guard. To whatever extent
any or all of these causes may have been operative, it
is certain that. nothing so serious has ooeurred to dis-
turb the serenity of the executive power linos the
insurrection hes been euppreeee d. .
General Cevaignac wised an cpportunity ill the
Assembly to-day, to explain himself as to the
expressions he need in reference to the alleged
legitimist plots He said that his words did not
apply to any member of the Assembly ; he had
alluded to the feet that legitimist opinions had
been openly put forward in certain journals (referring
in particular to the Gazette de France), and that it „
had been declared that " France never could be happy
until the monarchy ,wua above and the republo
' below e' it was against each opinions that he had "
spoken. He concluded by declaring that he believed
that many legitimists were eh:array inclined iv' art

was then signified to all the world.
Soared by
_dimappoiatinent, vindictive bat impo-

blinded to all ousequstmes, rushed into an abortive
binurucion, ending in jeers and jokes, worthy of

weakens of the Arden whisk he terrified the
timid and dliterlsed the rapes of the emiatry. Then
was mien their erreambig. their Mamas threats,
their futile prgisels, their home polities. The Young
Ireland nuiselie was quietly sod rapidly mopped up
by a few policemen. The madam!. army, forsooth,
never appeared at all. The Alone ran away over the
hills, and at last, famished and way worn, one by one
surrendered themselves to authority. The end of
Young Ireland was ignominiously sudden. It melted
ander the hand of power.
Two things are very observable in the history of
that motion—First, its sudden failure was very math
owing to the abeam* of clerical support. The priests
alwa7s dreaded the growth of Young lrelandism, from
the time when Mr. Marxism at a meeting in the
Cork Theatre:leg autumn, declared " that the power
of the priesthood ought not to go further than the sanc-
tuary. They had ,at any period. been admirers
or approvers of these juvenile revolutionists. On the
other hand, the Young Ireland party, aiming at pro-
testant sympathies,feared to ally itself with the
hood, and recoiled from fanatisising the manes.
Hence the party remained nothing but a few de-
claimers, hall-a-dosen printing presses, and some
thousands of foolish sympathisers.

Secondly. ahe uthrr Want of able leaders—of man
of practice' talent—is worthy of notice. Mr. °liven
MITT had, unquestionably, literary talent, and was
• clever journalist ; nor have we any desire to deny
that there were men of accomplishments and intellect
in the party ; but, with the exception of DAVIS,
there was sever in the body ,uy man endowed with
capacity for affairs, with the power to govern others,
and mould them under a masculine will. It is
not a little strange that, with the exception of
DAVIS, the leaders of this pseudo-military faction
were men of excessively delicate aotistit.ution. One
lthder had not long returned from "'Kaden& ; another
was a martyr to dyspepsia • a third was unable to
ride outside on a coach, dreading a rain shower; and
Mr. MITCHEL himself was asthmatic. What men
for the peasantry of Ireland, who require to be
spirited on by bold and dashing loaders!
Yet, nevertheless, this bead of sputters and writers
have done enormous mischief to Ireland, wore than
could have been anticipated.

and upon emettiag the change, pretended to reckon it, con-
cealed a shilling, and then told the shopman that another

statement, and the shopman thought it possible that he
might have male • mistake, the a Minx was handed over.
