WALES.

MORE LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE MINES near
Newport. On Tuesday an explosion of fire-damp took place
in the coal. pits of Messrs. J. Russell and Co., Ri.ca. Three lives
were lost. The miners were proceeding to their work when
a collier named J. James (the first to enter) was obseried
with his 'day-lamp uncovered, and was cautioned imme-
diately. He disregarded the caution, and proceeded to his
work, upon which he was not many moments engaged before
he so elevated his candle that it came in contact with the
fire-damp. An explosion took place, which killed James and
a boy on the spot. Four other men were alai mingly injured,
one of th, m, it is feared, fatally ; and but slight hopes ars
entertained of another.

NEWS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, THURSDAY, 10.30 A.m.
Reports continue to circulate of the approaching
dissolution of the executive committee. Dissension
between it and the Assembly is, it is said, likely to
ensue on the subject of the settlement of the mutual
relations between these bodies. I have already stated
that a committee of tie Assembly was appointed to
report on this question. The reporter of this commit-
tee, M. Martin (de Strasbourg), read his report yes-
terday, and announced that, if the committee
should decide to reject it he must resign, and he
added, that if such rejection were sanctioned by the
assembly, the executive power would also resign. The
committre came to a resolution that the members of
the executive commission should be required to attend
in the Assembly only, when explanations should be
demanded ; but it rejected unanimously the article of
the report, which deprived the President of the
Assembly of the power of ordering the rappel to be
beaten, with which he was previously invested by a
decree of the Assembly.
It is understood, however, that the Assembly will
not adopt this report without important modifica-
tions, and that several amendments will be moved.
In the present temper of the assembly and of the
executive commission it is extremely probable that
the issue of this may be the resignation of the latter.
In that case the assembly (as is understood) would
appoint a cabinet with a president without a port-
folio, without any other executive body, and the
name of M. Arago has been mentioned as this even-
tual President.
Gen. Courtais has been transferred to the Con-
ciergerie, and not, as was first stated, to Vincennes.

The Madrid mails of the 20th have arrived. On
the 19th the British arms were taken down from over
the door of the embassy. Some of the journals, to
quiet the more timorous, refer to the state of Ireland
as a quite sufficing reason for the impossibility of a
war resulting from the late measures of the Spanish
government.
Our correspondent states that Mr. Bulwer admitted
having given refuge on the night of the 26th of
March to 10 persons who feared being arrested by the
government, but ss ho were entirely unconnected with
the outbreak. Mr. Bulwer having stated that they were
all gone, the Duke of Sotomayor expressed himself
perfectly satisfied. An official notice in the Gazette
of the 19th state, that diplomatic relations had been
re-established between Spain and Prussia, and
that the Count It sezinski had been appointed
envoy extraordinsry and minister plenipotentiary at
the court of Madrid. Portal, the chief of the Seville
insurrectionists, was still in 'he field, and it was ex-
pected would await the coming up of the government
troops, which lattt r being separated seemed to stand
some chance of a defeat.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 25.—1 n the ease of Mr. Mitchel, the
court to-day decided that there were no grounds for
challenging the array. A jury was then sworn, and
the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Proceedings will be
resumed to-morrow.

TVESDAT NIGHT.

P.S.—The independent admirers of Mr. Mitchel
are playing the dtg.tructive game or sending threaten-
ing letters. One of the jurors received a note this
night, menacing him with assassination should Mr.
Mitchel be convicted. This folly is sure to produce
that very course which the menace would seek to
avert. he manliness of every independent mind must
revolt at such horror.
The insurrectionary placard to which I called your
attention ab:,ve, headed ' Armed opinion," has called
forth the acti v ity of the moral force Reoealers. Mr. Ray,
secretary to the Repeal Association, proceeded in the
course of the evening to Cellridge, whence the docu-
ment is supposed to have proceeded, and warned the
peek against yielding to such wicked advisers. The
person who distributed the placards is stated to have
a clerical appearance. lie fixed up some on the dead
walls of the village, but they were instantly torn
down by the peasantry. The curate of the parish
co-operated with Mr. Ray in denouncing the placard
and its object.
The high sheriff, Mr. French, has issued the fol-
lowing notification:
Sheriff's oMev, May 2t, 1848.—The panel of petit jurors
for the city of Dublin will be called over at tin o eines to-
morrow morning, in Breen-street, on heavy lines. Medical
tenifieat.s will not suffice as an excuse for non-attendance i
the physician must appear in court to he examined in cute of
HENRY S. FRENCH, Sheriff.
N.B.—Jurors are requested to bring their summonses.
The following printed notice has been extensively
circulated throughout the city. A more daring at-
tempt at intimidation has rarely been practised:
To the Jurors of Duhlin.—God's truth has been spoken
and written by John Mitchel. Re has praclaimed to the
world the labourer's right to live in the land of his birth by
the sweat of his brow; the farmer's right to the fruits of his
labour, his capital, and his skill. This is God's truth. Will
you, jurors. pronounce, by your verdict, God's truth to be a
seditious libel—a " felony ?" If you do (which God forbid),
then the blood of that innocent man of truth, John Mitchel,

ITALY.
The Ppodiern Italian of Genoa, of the Bth, states
that the Piedmontese ministry have given in their
resignation, collectively, on the gaieties whether the
war should be carried on to the last, or whether ►
temporising policy should be adopted. The ministry
professed the latter opinion. Geoja and Durini are
spoken of as lbrming part of the new ministry.
The Petrie of Florence, of the Gth, states that
Father Gavazzi having, during the latter days, paraded
the streets of Florence in a carriage, and afterwards
harangued from his balcony the crowds that used to
assemble there to hear him, a tumult named on the
sth between his partisans and those who thought his'.
proceedings and speeches dangerous. Later accounts
state that Father Gavazzi has been exiled from
Tuscany. Colonel Lemma, who capitulated at Tre-
viso, arrived at Leghorn on the 7th, where the rest
of his legion are expected, who unable, in conse-
quence of the capitulation, to bear arms against
Austria for three months to come, intend embarking
for Sicily, there to take part in the war.
The Milan Gazette of the 7th, says that a division
of Piedmontese, under the Duke of Savoy, is about
to march to the succour of Venice. The advanced
guard is arrived at Cerito.
L'.Areenire d'ltalia of the Bth, says that an assem-
bly will be convened at Piacenza, to settle the consti-
tution of the kingdom of Upper Italy.

THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE.

PARIS, SATURDAY Noox.
A meeting of the shareholders in Gouin's Bank,
convoked by the delegates appointed by the general
body, was held on Friday evening at the house of
M. Petit. The shareholders appointed MM. Besson,
Saponay, Chesnon, and Hennecart as a committee, to
treat with M. Gouin and the delegates, respecting the
proposed subscription fur 2,000 shares of 1,000 francs
each ; to be redeemed in three years, with the option
of the holder during the first year to exchange the
scrip for a 1,000 franc share at the current price of
730 francs. A large proportion of the scrip was sub-
scribed for before the meeting separated.
Professions of amity towards the republic have
been communicated to the foreign minister from the
following states through their respective ambassa-
dors ; Fribourg, Denmark, Sardinia, and Belgium.
The Belgian note contains the following passage—
The ambassador is instiucted to assure the government of
the republic that the militia has been called out under the
Belgic flag, not with any aggressive or hostile views against
the republic, but with the sole object of maintaining against
all the European powers the Belgic neutraliti. He also
will convey the assurance already given by the Belgian go-
vernment, that it will acknowledge the ref abbe as soon so
the national assembly shall have sanctioned it. Meanwhile

MANDAMTS.—RI/OSAL TO ELT CIItIRCITIAT/tS.—Mr.
Mellor moved for a mandamus to be directed to A. Wilkin-
son, Bin , and T. Byron, Esq., two justices of the peace for
the county of Surrey, commending tht to to lotus their war-
rant directing a Mr. John Ashby to pay the sum of 13e. 441.
for church-rates, for which he was liable as an inhabitant of
the perish of Bennington, in the same county. Thin applica-
tion woo made under the 53rd of Gen, 111., e. 127, which
provides for collecting church rates. The rate for this parish
had been properly made, and confirmed by the eceleaiastical
court. Mr. Ashby was summoned to the petty sessions at
Croydon to show cause why he refused to pay the
mentioned sum sum ; and upon that occasion Mr. Wil-
kinson and Mr. Byron took upon themselves to
raise a mot frivolous objection, which was, that the order
for making the rate had not been signed by h
ete church-
'milieus in their official character ; but be cent ded that
was not necessary, as the parties who made the order for
the rate did it as vestrymen. By the 531 George 111., cap.
127, to which he had already, referred, it was incumbent on
the justices where the sum in dispute was under 101., to issue
their warrant to Mr. Ashby, commanding him to show
cause against the rate, and he submitted that they wire

THE MOTE," SEAR MAIDSTONE, the meet of the
Earl of Romney, had a narrow escape from destruction by
firs on Sunday last. About noon on that day an extensive
quantity of smoke was seen to issue from one of the chim-
neys. It was supposed to be merely the soot on firs, and,
though an engine win obtained, the mischief was regarded
as slight—the burning masa was supposed to have been sup-
pressed, and the firemen and engines were witkdrasm. Ia
the course of an hour or so the smoke again made its ap-
pearance, and, from the effluvium, it was evident that some
of the timber had ignited. The firemen were again called
into operation, and it was then found that a block of wood
leading into the flue was on fire, and, being contiguous to the
skirting of a sleeping apartment, it was neoeassry to use the
most prompt means to prevent the fire extending. That
was, after some labour, fortunately effected.

CARLISLE ELECTION.—The nomination was ap-
pointed to take place yesterday. A correspondent says
" The division which has token place between the liberal
candidates here (Mr. J. Dixon, the unseated member, and
Mr. P. IL Howard, the old member for this city, who was
rejected at the last general election), has produced great
excitement, and at the present moment the utmost un
certainty prevails as to which of those two will be the suc-
cessful competitor. All seem to consider the return of the
recently unseated totopmember, Mr. W. H Hodson,
certain, nearly ail the freemen having promised him plum-
pers as before. There is a fourth candidate in the field, in
the person of fsPDotiall, the chartist orator, who states
in his address that he possesses the required property quail&
cation, and that he is determined to go to the poll. His
chance of success is considered very small indeed. He has
been addressing assemblies in the market place, his principal
theme being the charter, which he insists is the grand
panacea for every grievance. '

EXTRAORDINARY -
CIRCUMSTANCE.—The Cardiff
Guardian says: One of the most extraordinary preserva-
tions of human life, under circumstances of extreme peril,
lately occurred in the Bristol Channel, reminding us of the •
startling accident which many years ago occurred to an
aged woman by the breaking down of Caerleon wooden
bridge when ahe was crossing it, her subsequent voyage
down the Usk on a portion of the fabric, and her rescue
when on the point of being carried out to sea. At 12 o'clock,
on the night of Monda the 13th of December, a young
man named Lutton, of Cardiff, was engaged at work on the
Duncan Riehie, a vessel which lay at anchor in the channel
near the Flat Holmes, for the purpose of being repaired.
In order to prosecute the work with vtgoar, ship-
wrights and others were kept busily employed
day and night. A scaffold was hong along the
stern of the vessel, upon which the workmen stood while
following their occupation. This scaffold was not strongly
formed, and at night canvass was placed around to protect
fkom the wind the lights which the men wed. Lutton rod-
denly found the plank on which he stood split under him,
and he was precipitated into the water from a height of 16
feet. He sank to a considerable depth, and on rising to the
surface called loudly for assistance. He felt one end of the
piece of the plank in the water, the other end being attached
to the scaffold. This piece he got held of and pulled it'clown
still calling loudly for help. He soon got astride on the
piece of wood, which was nine inches wide, en inch thick,
and eighteen feet long. Upon this he was borne down
channel, continuing his cries for help. The mate of
the vessel, who was in bed, heard him, ran upon deck,
got the boat down from a suspended position with the
assistance of others, in which position it had been for
convenience placed, and with three other men fol-
lowed the poor fellow down channel, being guided by his
cries, which they occasionally heard. Lutton says that he
passed "scores of vessels" in his dangerous course, but mar
no appearance of any effort being made to waist him, al-
though he cried out as loudly as he could. In all probability
the sound of a human voice, proceeding from each a quarter,
in the dead hour of a dark night, frightened those who heard
it, and who were necessarily ignorant of the real cause. Sea-
men are naturally prone to be superstitious. However, after
a voyage of two hours and a quarter, the boat with the mate
and his courageous existents overtook Lutton, who was
taken on board in a dreadful state of exhaustion; and at
half-past live in the morning, the party succeeded in regain-
ing the vessel. It is supposed that Lutton was carried
down at least fourteen miles. The weather was exceedingly
boisterous.

rated to the earldom of Pawls in May, 1804. The late earl
succeeded his father on the 18th of May, 1839. He married,
in February, 1818, Lucy, third daughter of the Duke of Man-
tras, be whom tarries Edward Arthur Herbert (now Earl
of Paris), born 1818 ; four other eons and two .daughters.
The late ail, alter completing his education at the Uni-
versity of Cambridge, where he greatly mad him-
self, entered the House of Commons in 1.807, sal lea
the family borough of Ludlow in tea seceamtve esta,
when in May, 1999, he emended to the pew by the
death of his father. While in the Heine of 0111111.011, be al-
ways was oonsidered a consistent tithe hag partY,
voting spinet the Reform Bin, the linnielpd Bill, and
the Irish Tithe measure. He,-en all aeaselese, nee a warm
supporter of the established church. His untiring exertions
against the projected union of the bishoprics of Bangor and
St. Asaph in the House of Lords are familiar to most of our
readers ; and to his anions and persevering endeavours to
thwart the proposed measure, the preservation intact of
those sees must be imputed. The death of hia relative, the
Duke of Northumberland, in February last year, rendered the
Chancellorship of the University of Cambridge vacant. The
Harlot Powis was selected by many of the influential heads of
that university is the successor of the late Chancellor when his
Royal Highness Prince Albert was subsequently invited to
accept that honour, and was elected by a majority of sixteen
votes. In 184.5, on the death of the Duke of Grafton, the
earl was presented with the vacant garter by Sir R. Peel.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—We had a slight improvement in the
funds this morning upon the dosing prices of yester-
day, but the market is now k flatter, at 471 to for
Console, money and account. The winding up of
the liquidation is still the chief concern in
the Stock Exchange, this being pay-day for stocks
and differences upon balance of accounts. How far
the cheques which pass on such occasions will be
dilly honoured cannot of course be known until five
o'clock, after the operations of the cleating-house are
concluded. We have however two o: three small
failures reported this morning. Reduced Threes ere
87} to Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., sq to
ie. Exchequer Bills, 245. to 275. premium. Bank
Stook 1954 to 8.
We have scarcely a fluctuation to notice in foreign
stocks, in which business remains quite inert.

COMVERCIAL
_8( MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET 8: CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o' Clock—Our funds and other home securities
continue with a good market, and with a tendency
upwards of prices. Console have touched upon 86
for the opening, but are now 66; sellers, and 861 to
; for present transfer. It is evident that parties
who have been selling for the fall this account, or
who carried their former sales over upon continuation
to this account, are finding themselves with a very
indifferent look-out in respect to their bargains.
There is no doubt that several of the merely
jobbing speculators are, and have been, lat-
terly buying them in on the best terms they are able, '
under the apprehension that, as the dividends are
paid, no inconsiderable proportion of the proceeds
may come into the market for investment in govern-
ment stocks, as in ordinary times is always
the case. It must be observed, however,
that in anticipation of such a demand on the
part of the public, the more substantial dealers
are in the habit of purchasing • and providing
large quantities of Consols, and other securities, at
such lower rates previously as may be ruling in the
absence of circumstances likely unfavourably to
affect prices prospectively, for re-sale afterwards,
at profitable rates, to parties seeking employment for
surplus funds. Reduced Threes, 861 to t. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 87; to Exchequer Bills,
19s. to 225. pm. Bank Stock, 190 to 2.

EXECUTION OF THE CONVICT THOMAS

SALE.
This morning, at eight o'clock, this wretched mac
underwent the extreme penalty of the law in front of New.
gate, for the murder and highway robbery of Mr. Bell '
chambers, in the Broadway, Westminster, for which crime ,
he was tried at the last Old Batley Sessions, together with a
man named M'Coy, who, having assisted the prosecution
with information which led to the apprehension of the other
prisoners and the conviction of Sale, has been reprieved.
Since the attack upon M'Coy by Sale, the latter has appeared
fully alive to the awful situation in which he was placed
and, during the last two or three days, listened with
marked attention to the exhortations of the Rev. Mr. Davis,
the chaplain of Newgate. Long before the hour of six
o'clock, although the morning was dark std piercingly cold,
a number of persona had collected in the vicinity, consisting
principally of young boys, lads, costermongen, and girls of
the lowest description. The sheriffs arrived at the prison
shortly before seven, and after this time the crowd began
to pour in from all parts in shoals, and by eight o'clock
every avenue in the vicinity of the gaol where a sight could
be obtained was densely crowded. Precisely as the clock
of St. Sepulchre's struck eight, the bell commenced tolling,
and in lees than two minutes the Rev. Mr. Davis ascended
the scaffold, reading the burial service, followed by Sale, who
walked firmly up the steps. He looked boldly at the crowd,
and having made a low bow without uttering a word, took
his station under the fatal beeni. Calcmft, the executioner,
immediately placed the cap over his heed, and adjusted the
noose, and in another minute he was launched into
eternity.
Any anxiety which may have been felt as to the guilt of
the wretched man, Ins fortunately boss dispelled. At ten
s'alesk La loy the ssavist's rawasw, Pr. Psvis woo'
sent for. The reverend gentleman immedittely attended,
and the assassin then et once said" M'Coy's statement is true.
I struck the blow. Lloyd knew I did so, but M'Coy did
not. The agreement was that M'Coy should rob the man,
and that Lloyd and myself should remain with him. I
struck the blow, but I did not mean to murder the man."

THE ACCIDENT AT THE EUSTON-SQUARE

-----
STATION.
An inquest was held this morning before Mr. Mille,
the deputy coroner for Middlesex, on the body of John
Shea, who died on the 7th inst., in consequence of the falling
of a wall ►t the Euston-squore terminus of the North Wes-
tern Railway.
The evidence of the witnesses did not tend to:criminate any
person, nor could any defect in the construction of the wall
be proved. An open verdict was returned, stating the man-
ner in which the deceased lest his life, " but how the wall
came to fall there was not sufficient evidence to show."
London, England, 1848-03-22

appearance of detail by putting in the less essential.
Nevertheleiw, it is, so far as it goes, sufficient to en-
able one who knows the business to interpret the
statement To it we will now endeavour to annex
some of the values, so as to enable us to judge of the

remainder.
From this list we find that we possess only twenty-
two steam vessels of war of a size exceeding 500 tons
and under 1,000. We have placed a liberal value on
these ships, much greater than in a mercantile
estimate would be tolerated. We cannot find for
them a higher value than 899,0281. In this we have
given them credit for being in all respects good,
sound, sea-worthy, and serviceable, but we know
some of them to be far from this desirable condition.
Our statement is somewhat over the real value, but
we desire it to be as ample as the most liberal esti-
mate would allow.
The next class of steam-ships we have taken are
those of 1,000 tons to 1,300. They are, perhaps, the
most effective size of steam-ships we possess—of
them we have only 20. Their joint extreme value
does not exceed 1,080,6391.
The third class we have to enumerate is half-a-
dozen of steam frigates of the largest class. Their
highest value is under 570,3501.
Our steam fleet, for which in so many years we
have been voting so much money, consists, therefore,
of less than fifty steamers, which are worth unques-
tionably much lees than the aggregate sum of two
millions and a half. We have excluded from this es-
timate iron vessels not yet believed to be serviceable,
yachts, and packets. We have not included the
small craft, which can hardly be regarded as any-
thing more than tenders, tugs, or packets. For the
last twenty years the Admiralty has been producing a
steam fleet. At what cost in dockyards, estimates,
establishments, workshops, salaries, &c., let Mr.
HUME tell, or Mr. COBDEN inquire. We have shown
the extreme of their ralue.
In making this estimate of our stock in trade, in
the sea line of goods, we have supposed the articles to
be sound and suitable in quality to the purpose for
which they were designed. The quality of these war-
steamers we may inquire into another day.
