THE FEARFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN

Lee ue.tiißZ.

The portion of the pit where the terrible explo-
.
don at St. Helen's occurred, of which we gave a brief
aooount yesterday, is considerably higher than any other
part of the mine, and is consequently more dangerous
as the gas rises to that pert from the other workings. At
the time of the accident fourteen men and boys were en-
gaged working in the top level, all of whom have perished ;
and it is • most providential circumstance that more lives
have not been lost, as at the time the miners were all at
work in the pit. The explosion was not heard in the pit
very far from where it occurred, but its serious nature wee
at once feared, and the whole of the works were imme-
diately stopped, and the men withdrawn from the mines
without delay. A volunteer exploring party was formed,
and, shortly after the explosion, they proceeded on their
teazel, and after hours of toil they snoceeded in re-
covering the whole of the fourteen dead bodies, which
were on beteg found removed to the bottom of the shaft,
and were not brought up to the pit mouth until night.
The scene on the brow of the pit was most painful, as
amongst the enormous crowds which collected around it
were the wives, children, relations, sad friends of the men
who were known to be miming. The tearful and anxious
looks and inquiries of some as they waited for the coming
of the bodies from the pit were harrowing. The following
are the names of those who have perished :—Joseph Top-
ping, fireman, of Haydock ; Thomas Anders, collier, of
Park-road, Parr; William Cheethans, jun., collier, of the
same place ; William Chestworth, collier, of Ilaydock ;
John Eden, son of Mrs. Mather, whose husband
was murdered near St. Helen's • few weeks ago;
Anthony Fillingham, collier, of Finger-post, Parr ; Henry
Winstanley, collier, of H•reaeach ; William Brown, col-
lier, of John-bill-brow, Parr ; William liders, driver, e(
Park-road, Parr ; William Barron, driver, of the same
place ; John Leadbetter, driver, of Highlands-brow,
Parr ; Henry Wright, pony driver, of Copperhouse-row,
Ashton ; Thomas Radcliffe, of Gerard's-bridge, st.
Helen's ; and Thomas Wilkinson, jigger, of Coa/pit.
lane, Parr. The scene when the bodies were brought to the
I pit mouth was dreadful as the agonised relations rushed
forward to recognise and claim the dead. Some of the
bodies were fearfully burnt and disfigured, and
could only be recognised by the clothing on them.
The whole of the bodies were removed to the
" Owl's Nest" public-house, which is situate near the col-
liery, and they will lie there until the coroner's inquest.
Mtortly after the explosion became known, crowds rushed
to the some, a great many of whom were colliers residing
In the neighbourhood, and numberless offers to assist in
the search were made, but firmly declined. The cause of
the explosion can never positively be known, but it is con-
jectured that it was calmed by the fireman (Topping) ex-
ploding a charge of gunpowder for Cheetworth, as it is
known he was to do so about the time of the accident.
Strange to say, the explosion in May, 1866, when 13 lives
were lost, was caused by Topping firing a charge. He then
escaped, but he is now one of those who have perished.

DitowierNo or Niw Excnisioiriirra.—A terrible
accident happened at Grimsby on Tuesday, by which nine
out of a party of ten excursionists were drowned. The
party, chiefly from Aahton-under•Lyne, went out in a
email boat. They left the Royal Dock basin soon after
10 o'clock, and proceeded down the Humber with
the ebb tide as far as Cleethorpes. They then re-
turned, but had to tack, and when about half-way
back to Grimsby, Irving (the owner of the boat)
was going to tack again, and went forward to alter
the sail, leaving the tiller in the bands of one of the pas-
sengers, who, not understanding it, turned it the
wrong way. The result was that the boat was thrown
on her Ode, the water poured over her quartet,
and in a few seconds she filled and sank. Irving
swam towards a small shrimping smack, which picked him
up. Only one of the passengers was saved, from whom
gathered the particulars of the sad catastrophe. Ile
could not swim, but throwing his arms out and keeping
his mouth shut, was able to float until an oar came near
him, which he seized and put under his chin, and was in
this way supported until the people on board the same
saw him, and be was saved. The following are the names
of those drowned : Thomas Platt, ego 21, of Ashtoa-
under-Lyne, overlooker in Messrs. As hall and Stone's
mill at Dukinfield-hall ; Thomas Bailey, 23, saddler, a
native of Middlevrich, but recently residing at Ashton ;
Elizabeth Stanley, 20, weaver, Old-street, Ashton • Maria
Cook, 20, weever, Old-street, Ashton ; Louisa Saxon, 21,
winder, Welbeck-strcet, Ashton ; Mr. and Mrs. Robinson,
visitors at Cleethorpes ; residence not known at time of
writing ; a woman, from 45 to 50 years of age, described as
a stout person ; and a boy, about 11 years ; names not at
present known. None of the bodies have yet been reco-
vered. The Royal Albion tugboat has gone to the spot to
search for them. The Lost is maid to have been very deep
in the water, and too small for so many persona. It is also
felt that at least two boatmen ought to have been on bused
instead of one.

INUNDATION or A COLLIERY.—An accident of a
very serious nature, which caused a considerable amount of
damage, placed the lives of a number of men and boys in
jeopardy, and put a stop to the working of the mine for
some days, occurred on Monday morning at the Pennywell.
road Colliery, Briethl. The pit was formerly worked by
the Pensywell-road Coal Company, but for twelve months
it has been in the possession of Mr. Brown, of Seymour.
villas, Stapleton-road, who has done everything in hie
power to render its workings safe and convenient to the
colliers. Amongst the improvements which he intro-
' duced was one at the suggestion of Mr. Lionel Brough,
the government inspector of mines, vim, the driving of a
" travelling way" from the great vein into the upcsst
shaft, whereby a dangerous portion of that shaft was
avoided ; and its importance was fully shown on Monday,
when, by means of the travelling way, a number of men
• were enabled to maps from what appeared to them
almost certain death. At the bottom of the downcast
shaft there is a " drift," 130 yards lung. leading to the
' " deep" workings. At the end of this " drift" there are
some old workings which had been stopped up before the
whole of the coal had been exhausted, end it was resolved
to attempt to again work them. Mr. George Britten, the
manager, a man of great experience in the working of coal
mines, took the necessary steps to break into the old
workings, but the presence of water being suspected,
"boring" was retorted to to aseertaiu if such really were
the mule. Between 10 and 11 o'clock this operation was
being performed, wheu some of the men present incau-
tiously removed a large block of coal by the aide of the
"born bole." Water immediately rushed out with great
force, and all attempts to plug up the orifice being in vain,
the alarm was given to the colliers in the mine, there being
about 70 men and boys in it at the tune. The Miller* made
their way as quickly as possible to the bottom of the down-
cast shaft. and the state of affairs having been coniiminicated
to those at the surface, immediate preparation., were wade
for bringing the men up. Load after load of the living
freight was drawn up to the pit's mouth, and as
the men made their appearance they were greeted with a
hearty cheer by the hundreds of persona who had assem-
bled in the neighbourhood of the mine. A number of men
unable to bear the suspense of waiting at the bottom of the
shaft until their tuns to be pulled up should arrive, made
their way along a " travelling way "to the bottom of the
upcsst shaft, where preparations had been wade for draw-
ing them up, and they were quickly raised to tho surface.
At length the whole of the men in the colliery were got
out, Mr. Britten, the manager, being the last to leave the
pit. The men soon recovered from their fright, and every
attention was bestowed upon them. The water continued
to flow down the "drift' until there were nine or ten feet
in the shaft above the landing.place, but the engine was
at work the whole of the day, rsising water at the rate of
200 gallons per minute. It is hoped that the water has
not got into the "deep" workings beyond the place
where the irruption took place, for if it bas, the damage
will be immense. As it is, a considerable loss must accrue
to the proprietor.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WroxEsnaYEvairixa:

While the Patrie continues to affirm that the in-
surrectionary movement in Spain was never serious
and is now completely put down, the Epoque gives
the following news :
The towns of Upper Arragon have made their prortioicia.
mentos. Already the inh►bitants of several of these loca-
lities have followed the liberal generals who are marching
without impediment towards the centre of action. The
agitation at Barcelona is such that a general rising
is momentarily expected, and the twelve battalions
lately sent to reinforce the garrison will not be
able to repress it. It is said, but we cannot
be certain of the fact, that at Vslentia and Alicante the
population is ready to rise on the first signal. We are
assured that a military pronunciamento has occurred in
Castille, and that another is expected in Andalusia. The
Carliat party in Spain is thoroughly resolved to support
General Prim, and this party is prepared to act vigorously
in the Basque provinces. The Unionist party represented
at Madrid by the " Braganca committee " ls said to have
opened negotiations with the King of Portugal. A depu-
tation from the committee is expected to go to Lisbon to
make proposals to the King.

There is a rumour this evening that the Czar is
seriously ill in the Crimea.
It is now taken to be quite certain that the
projected interview between the King of Prussia
and Napoleon 111., after the latter leaves Salzburg,
will not take place.
The election of a deputy for the Somme, where
the death of IL de Morgan caused a vacancy, has
terminated by the return of M. de Fourment by
13,684 votes against 10,237 given to M. de Beau-
ville. The peculiarity of this election is that for
the first time on record both the aspirants to
the suffrages of the electors were government
candidates ; that word in the plural was never seen
before in one district. The gentleman in the mino-
rity, however, is the one originally patronised by
authority, but when the prefect found he had no
chance, it was decided to say that both were looked
upon with equal favour.
The Si2ele says that, despite the efforts of the
semi-official prints to get up enthusiasm, the public
remains cold in regard to the Emperor's letter on
the cross roads. Public opinion, concentrated as
it is upon liberal reforms and the possible compli-
cations of foreign affairs, shows itself refractory.
The prospect of great public works would have
captivated attention some time ago ; but now
Germany, Italy, the East, and, above all, liberty
at home, take precedence. Apart from these con-
siderations, the project in itself amounts to very
little. There is to be an inquiry which can scarcely
assume form and body until a bill is presented to
the Corps Legislatif. It is very doubtful whether
the departments and communes are able to bear
new burdens, at a time when taxation is strained
to a great degree, and when the possibility of war
weighs upon every mind. The Liberti says that
want of confidence in the executive deprives the
imperial promise of any value.
A fire broke out last night in the great factory
of MM. Alfred Naegely and Co., of Mulhouse,
which contained 60,000 spindles. The damage is
estimated at two millions of francs. A thousand
men are thrown out of work by this catastrophe.
Most of the English papers have reproduced
from Galignanis Messenger the statement that, in
consequence of the excessive expenses occasioned
by the Exhibition, less money was spent on the fête
of August 15 than on previous occasions, and in
particular that only 40,000 fr. was allowed to M.
Ituggieri for the fireworks. M. Hausmann

resents this imputation, and a eontmuniqui to the
Avenir Nationait asserts that as large a sum as ever
was spent in the fireworks, and that the fate gene-
rally cost 4,10001. sterling more than usual.
At the Bourse Rente was considerably better ;
it rose 224 c. for cash and Inc. for acccount,
closing at 69fr. 80c., and 69fr. 72ic. In other
securities, however, there was little change.
