SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

The supply of Beasts bee considerably increased, conse-
quently trade is heavy, and pri:es are lower on the average.
Only the choicest Scots reach our top quotations. The
number of Sheep and Lambe is also much larger; there
are very few purchasers, and Monday's quotations cannot
be supported. Several remain unsold. We have fu
too many Calves for the demand. It must be a very
good one to make 3s. 4d., and a large proportion cannot be
disposed of. From Germany and Holland there are 205
Beats, 530 Sheep, and 152 Calves ; and 121 Mitch Cows
from the Home Counties.

COTTON MARKET.—HAVRE, Jura 13.
The Cotton market to-day has been extremely sluggish ;
few sales effected, but prices firmly held.

A COAL-PIT ON FIEF.—BARNSLEY, JUNE 13.—1 t
will be remembered that 75 persons lost their live, in Dailey
Hain colliery, near this town, in January, 1849. We have
again to notice a serious misfortune to the proprietors by the
coal-bed taking fire. George Whiteley, who attends the
cupola in this pit, while following his employment, at two
o'clock yesterday morning, noticed an unusually strong cur-
rent of air pass him, by which he became alarmed, thinking
some of the doors which conduct the current of air had been
left open, and caused the current to take a wrong direction.
He therefore lighted a safety lamp, and shined for the pur-
pose of making the doors right. He had not gone far before
he heard two other men running towards him, and shouting
to him to save himself, if possible, as an explosion had taken
place. He replied that could not be the cue, for the current
of sir was so strong that he could scarcely stand. They,
end continued for

they were drawn out, and the workings examined, when it
was ascertained that the bed of coal was on fire, and raging

its impetuosity increased to such an extent, that at night not
lees than from 600 to 700 yards of the fete of the coal was in
one continuous fire ; and such was its force, that at 9 o'clock
at night there was a continual blaze of great length fr)m
the top of the cupalo, which Game from the workings at a
I depth of above 109 yards. It was determined this morning to
clime all the roads and airliates which lead to the parts on
fire, and, if possible, prevent any air getting to it. On this
amount numbers of workpeople employed at them "titmice
works will be for some time thrown out of work.
EAST WHEAL GEORGE MINE.—The ordinary bi-
monthly meeting was held at the offices, 25, Fleet-start, on
Tuesday, he 11th inst., at five o'clock, W. Cumming,
in the chair. The accounts for the past two months, with '
vouchers, were submitted and passed. The report of Caps.
Carpenter, with that of Mr. W. Mansell, was read, from
which it appeared that, notwithstanding a slight accident
which had occurred, the shaft would be down 10 fathom by
the 24th inst. A communication was made to the meeting
of an accession to the sett, which was approved. A vote el
thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting sips-
rated.
