THE REPORTED LOSE or THE STEAMER SECRET.
—The rumour which was so painfully prevalent in Liver-
pool for the last few days regarding the loss of the Hull
and Hamburg steamer Secret has fortunately proved incor-
rect. Yesterday Mesas. George Lawson and Co., of Liver-
pool, officially contradicted the report of the Secret's loss.
Although the steamer had been missing for several days
her no n-apprazanos was caused by the breaking down of
her machinery, and early yesterday morning she put back
to Hull for repairs.
Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo •
nial-oerra from the Governor of Canada.

damp.
One man only has been recovered, and his mar-
vellous escape is one of the many strange incidents
that such a catastrophe as this brings in its wake.
During the night policemen kept guard around the
pit mouth, by the light of numerous blazing watch-
fires. One of the offioers,about four o'clockthis morn-
ing,was startled by hearing the bell at the bottom of
the pit ring. Hitherto the most intense silence
had prevailed, and the man wan not a little startled
at the unexpected summons from a place where
none but the dead were supposed to be. Shaking
off his terror the policeman gave the alarm, and
some workmen quickly ran to the spot. They
called down the black abyss ; but there was no
reply. They then lowered a bottle of brandy,
and upon drawing up the cord found that there
was nothing at the end of it. Convinced that
there was a fellow-creature needing succour, two
bystanders descended to the bottom, and their
labours were speedily rewarded by success, for they
rescued a poor fellow who had been a prisoner
amongst the dead for some eight hours. He was
very weak and terror-stricken, but not seriously
injured. Ho was one of the brave volunteers who
were overtaken by the second explosion yesterday,
and he alone was left to tell the fate of his com-
panions. So far as can be gathered from his story,
he crept into a recess (a " pick-hole") when he
heard the explosion, and the fatal blast passed him
by. He was afraid to move until a glimmer of
light from above revealed to him the bell-handle,
and he then lost no time in using it. He has been
attended to by the doctors to-day. His account
of the heaps of corpses he stumbled over, the
awful silence of the pit, and the general aspect of
desolation and destruction, fully bears out all the
imaginary horrors that have been indulged in.
Fur some unaccountable reason no one leas been
permitted to see him to-day. His own (laughter
has been refused admission until he has shaken off
the effects of the terrible ordeal through which he
has passed. Previous to re-ascending the two men
saw .several fires below. They shouted, but re-
ceived no answer.
With respect to the cause of the accident and
the number of men and lads killed, the public had
better defer judgment until something official is
known. At present nothing can be elicited from
the people about the colliery. Some attribute
the original explosion to an exposed Stephenson's
lamp, some to a reckless use of gunpowder,
some to gaslights used in the main road in the col-
liery. All are conjectures, and may probably ever
remain so. According to investigations made to-

Up to four o'clock yesterday afternoon the
searchers had recovered the corpses of fifty-eight men,
and it is believed that there are still over forty in the pit.
During the whole of Thursday night the searchers were
exploring the workings, and as they came ;to the top of
the shaft every half hour or so—for the pit is not yet
clear of gas—they announced in lowered tones that they
had " found another," and after having recovered from
the effects of the gsa would again descend, to proceed
with their mournful task. Mr. Thomas Wynne, the govern-
ment inspector of mines for North Staffordshire, was
down the pit the greater part of yesterday.
In order to avoid painful moues on the pit bank, the
proprietors of the colliery gave directions that no women
and children should be allowed to coldest there ; still, one
or two widows, the bodies of whose husbands had not
bren recovered, contrived to get on the bank amongst
the large crowds of persons who had collected there, and
as each corpse was brought up would eagerly scan it. If
it happened to be that of a husband, a loud wail of
agony, or a piercing shriek, would announce the fact, and
would cause a nervous tremble to run through the by
One very sad fact in connection with
this appalling accident is, that the majority of the
men whose bodies have been recovered are married.
and leave widows and large families. Up to the
time our correspondent wrote yesterday there were
1$ bodies not identified. The greater portion of
these were so severely burnt that their features were not
to be recognised, whilst others, being comparative strafe
gers, are known to only a few in the neighbourhood.
It is thought that about 200 men went down into the
pit yesterday morning, most of whom, as at present aseer•
Wiled, were provided with " Davy" lamps. The explo-
sion occurred at about a quarter-past 11, and was imme-
diately followed by a belching forth from the mouth of
the up-cast shaft of s vast quantity of smoke mingled
with flames. The men in the north workings, two or
three hundred yards from the south side of the pit, heard,
the explosion, and immediately ran to the bottom of the
shaft, where they stayed, almost suffocated by the
galas it escaped, untilthey were drawn to themouth of the
pit. As soon as a descent could be made a party of men,
accompanied by Mr. Wynne, went down, and continued
their exploration until yesterday, sending to the top fifty-
eight bodies. Mr. Wynne says that there arc about forty
more, who were to be brought up late last night. He has
gone through the whole of the workings within about thirty
yards. At present it has re,t been ascertained how many
more dead bodies there are in the pit, but it is thought
that they number, with those already found, about one
hundred. The cause of the explosion is yet a mystery.
The inquest was opened at the Swan Tavern, Top o' the
Hill, yesterday afternoon, before Mr. Harding, the ounnty
coroner. Mr. Wynne was also in attendance.
In opening the inquiry the coroner said that the jury
had been called together to make an investigation into the
circumstances attending the deaths of nearly 100 persons.
He (the coroner) had been in that district for 37 years,
and during that period bad never had to investigate so
serious an accident as the present.

and, like myself, he was at work there yesterday. The
work went on all right from half-past 5 until 11 o'clock in
the morning. I don't know where Fletcher was at that
time. At about the hour named Ih. aril an explosion, and

William Sownan deposed that he was
at the North Staffordshire Colliery. I went to work at
about 11.30 yesterday morning, and whilst at the bank,
about a quarter-past eleven, heard an explosion like the

down. I knew that it was an explosion of gas. The
depth of the shaft was 350 or 350 yule.

and staang that, in the opinion of the committee, it is
not expedient for the board to contribute thereto. Mr.
Freeman moved, and Mr. Brooker seconded, the adoption
of the report of the committee, winch led to considerable
discussion, but was eventually adopted by • large majority.
Mr. Collinson, pursuant to notice, moved " That, in con.

of the board in laying out and enclosing the said parks, in
order that they be prepared ready for the use of the pub-

motion, which, however, after a long discussion, was put
and lost. After some other business of no public interest
the board adjourned.
