THE TRADE OF LIVERPOOL.—An idea may be
forted of the extent of the commerce of this pert from the
I feet, that according to the local *Moping list of Thursday
lest, there were on that day, in the duck.; and in the ever,
no Sewer the^ from 90) to 1,000 Treads —a circumata3ce,
we may v. Ste to say, unprecedented in the anneds of

musk, and party, consisting of his son, Captain Grant of the
4th Dragoons, and two other gentlemen, elks' partaking, at
breakfast on the 13th, of chicken pie, were suddenly seed
on the moon, three hours afterwards, with all the usual
syLptorns resulting from poison, and were with difficulty
eni.bled to reach their shooting quarters. Some of the party
who had not ate of it before, and who had divided and taken
soother beat, and not knowing the baneful effects produced,
consisting of two of the gamekeepers, consumed another
portion of the pie, and were, a few hours after luncheon,
attacked in the same way. Ftvtunntely medical aid was
quickly procured, and all the patty, seven in number, Imo
convalescent the following day. The professional men called
in are of opinion that the poison arose from some of the
kitchen utensils originally used.—Aberdens Herald.

NINE LIVES LOST IN A COAL PIT.—An explosion
of fire-damp took place at Mr. Wilson'. No. 6 Pit, ishaw
Colliery, on Monday week, by which nine lives were lost.
Some idea may be twined of the strength of the blast, when
we state that both cages, slides, part of the barring,a portion
of the mid wall, and one men, were blown up and out of the
pit, and earned to a great distance in the air, and fragments
of human flesh and bone have been gathered at four hundred
yards distanc- from the pit. From porions of clothing ga-
thered in the fields, the men blown up is supposed to be A.
WKimilin, a native et Tine, but as the body has bees
dashed to pieces, no one can tell. Immediately after the
blast, a boy named Thomas Hunter cried to be taken up ;
but saga and tackle of every description were blown away,
and before a rope could be
ret
_the pit wee filled with damp,
and his life gone. Hunter's body was recovered on Monday.
It was found wastage, to put in new barring before me.
