THE ACCIDENT IN A LEAD MINE.

From the time of the melancholy accident at the
Bryn Owing lead mines, near Mold, by which sixteen men
lost their lives, every exertion has been made to procure the
bodice of the miners. The engine in use at the mine has
been constantly at work getting the water out of it, and by
Sunday the efforts had been so far successful as to warrant
an endeavour to get at the bodies. The pit was surrounded
by thousands of people throughout the day, and the greatest
excitement prevailed . After considerable delay end diffi-
culty, one of the bodies van browlit to the pit mouth, and
was identified as that of William Williams, one of the
miners. Nu other bodies were recovered during the day,
but the water is so far cleared out of the mine, that it is
thought probable all the bodies will be brought up during
the week. An inquest was opened on view of the body of
Williams, on Monday, before Mr. Peter Parry, coroner.
at the Royal Oak, near Boni Percy, and was adjourned
to Tuesday next. Several ieflueutial gentlemen residing in
the neighbourhood have been unremitting in their elides-
Venn SO soothe and alleviate the sorrow awl grief of the

relief fund, and for setting on foot a subscription list for the
