MORE EXPLOSIONS AT THE OAKS COLLIERY

BARNSLEY, Nov. 5, 8.30 P.M.

About half-past five this afternoon there was a
violent explosion at the Oaks Colliery, the flames reaching
nearly to the head gearing. It was followed at intervals
by four others more or lees violent, all occurring
within an hour. It appears that the upcast shaft
bad on Tuesday become a downcast, and the men tried to
make the No. 1 perform that work, for wbich purpose the
doors at the bottom were opened. It is apparent that
there has been smouldering fire in the pit since the explo-
sion in December, and the removing of the soil from the
scaffold down the No. 2 evidently let in the air, and so
caused the ignition and explosion. Happily no persons
were injured. Up to eight o'clock no more explosions had
taken place. Every precaution has been taken to prevent
further accidents.

THE SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER AT WOOLWICH.
—Yesterday Mr. C. J. Cutter, coroter for West Kent,
held an adjourned inquiry, at the Royal Oak Tavern,
Kew-road, Woolwich, into the circumstances attending
the death of an infant named Mary Golden, who expired
recently at 11, Collingwood-atreet, and returned a verdict
" That the child died from the result of certain injuries,
but how such injuries were caused there was no evidence
to show."

THE PRICE OF MEAT IN LIVERPOOL—SeveraI of
the Liverpool butchers esterday came to the conclusion to
reduce the price of beefy and mutton about Id. to id. per
lb. This reduction will, they allege, " cause an awful loss
to them, but for the sake of the poor" they will lower their
prices. The prices of mutton and beef will still be from
fkl. to 100. per lb. One or two enterprising butchers are
driving a rattling profit—they say so themselves—by
selling mutton at t,rl. and beef at lid. per lb. Their
shops ere thronged, and the amount of meat oat up is
something great, while the quality is prime.

MORE SHIPPINti DlSASTERS.—lntelligence was
received in Liverpool yesterday to the effect that the
Eden, of Hartlepool, whilst on the voyage to Hamburg,
had been destroyed by fire near Heligoland. The steamer
Bede, which has arrived at Liverpool from Shields, was in
collision on the 4th November, off Morecambe Bay, with a
ship, and lost jibboom, bowsprit, head gear, and started
several planks. A large ship, painted black, was seen
ashore, on the 2t4 th October, ten miles west of Jupiter
River, Nuticasti, by the screw steamer Moravian, which
left Quebec on the 26th October.
