Tut FENIAN Chl7l6Bll.—n. Laterpoot ife,rcary
of this day says that • letter received in that town from
the Isle of Islay states that as the lugger, were re-
turning from Ireland • few weeks ago one of
them was hailed by • strange vessel, which desired
the boatmen to convey two men and see them safe
on board the steamer at Port Ellen. Whilst on the
lugger, neither of the strangers uttered one word in Eng-
lieb,yet from their appair.usee the boatmen impacted that
they were Fenians. their pretended ignorance of English
being simply a " blind." It is not improbable that these
two men were landed from the Fenian cruiser which hag
hovered about the Irish coast for several weeks.
WORKING MEN IN PARLIAMENT.—The Norfolk
News states that " the working men of Norwich, or
certain of tho foremost of them, have en ' idea'
that they, being ten thousand strong, and being,
or likely to be, at keit two-thirds of the eleo-
torsi body for time to come, have, in these altered
circumstances, the right and the duty to choose for them-
selvet at least oar of the members for the city, a man of
their own elms possibly. And they are about to organise
with this particular view."
OPENING or A Nrw AND EXTENSIVE COAX.
FIELD. —The Barnsley seam of coal has just been reached
to an entirely new district, at • place called Denaby, about
eleven miles from Doncaster. The shaft, which is the
deepest in Yorkshire, is rather more than 422 yards deep.
and the coal, which averages nine feet in thickness, and as
of excellent quality, underlies the magnesian limestone.
In reaching the coal. a bed of tine cannel, rather mom
than a foot thick, as well as other seams, were passed. The
work of reaching the Barnsley bed occupied rather more
than four years, as a great deal of water had to be encoun-
tered. It may be stated that, not a great many years since,
I persons engaged in mining operations were of opinion that
the coal-field terminated where the line of the magnesia&
limestone commenced; but geologists contended that the
coal existed under the formation, dipping into the east to
an extent unexplored. This has been proved to be correct
by the opening of the colliery on the estate of the Duke of
'Newcastle, at Worksop, and further verified, as in the
present instance. The Denaby Colliery is the property of
Meters. Pope and Pearson, is well situated for carriage by
'canal and railway, and will give employment, when
opened out, to something like 500 persons.
WATKIN AND THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.
—Should Mr. Turner resign the chair of the Great Eastern
Railway Company. we hear that Mr. Watkin is likely to
occupy it, Mr. Turner retaining • seat at the board.—
