WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD, Ocr. 24. A dull
morning brings avery dull and quiet market. There is a
very slow and dragging trade doing, and no animation shown
in any branch. Prices of good 'mob remain tolerably
firm, but generally there is a little more willingnem to
sell. Good wools fetch high prima in the markets. and
there is great firmness exhibited among the growers. Down
wools, however, are exceedingly sluggish. The demand is
chiefly for fancy goods. _

Tan LiczaroozLlYEßOAT Szawrca.—On the 10th
inst. a pleasure-boat was wrecked, mar Hoylake, between
the mouths of the Dee and the Mersey, but the passengers
were fortunately rescued by a small boat, from New
Brighton, under the command of a young gentleman named-
Norton. In connection with this affair, the Mersey Dock
Burnt have been investigating the conduct of the captain of
the No. 1 Liverpool Lifeboat, who, by mistaking the No. 47
on the chart (the scene of the wreck) fora sandbank, called
Taylor's Seek, got 14 miles out of hie course. After hear.

superseded.
SERIOUS COLLIERY E X PU3SION REAR BOLTON.-.
On Tuesday morning, between six and seven o'clock, an az-
plosion of fire damp occurred at the Fernside Colliery, Little
Lever near Boatels, belonging to Messrs. Addrew Knowles
and Soies. Two men, named Daniel Carney and John Settle,
and two boys, were seriously burned. It is not expected
that Carney and the boy who acted as his waggoner will
recover. Settle is badly hurt, being burned about his neck,
face, and hands, and on Wednesday he was quite blind. Al
soon after the accident as possible the sufferers were re-
moved to their homes. Settle's father is the underlooker of
the colliery. The accident is said to be owing to some want
of care on the part of the fireman.
THE COAL TR A —lll CVSIEL W. and H. Laird,
of Liverpool, have just issued their monthly statistics
relative to the coal trade, from which we extract the fol-
lowing interesting particulars :—During list month the
total exports of coal from the various ports in the United
Kingdom amounted to 601,211 tons, showing a decrease in
the exports, as compared with the corresponding month of
last year, of 56,170 tons. The decrease was represented
thus :—Northern porta, 60,920 tons ; Yorkshire ports,
9,343 ; and Severn ports, 21,157 tons. From Liverpool
there was an increase of 16,309 tons as oompared with the
corresponding period of year, and front the Scotch port/
an increase of 12,941 tons.

A WONIAN SMOTHERED tN SOOT.—On Wednea.
day morning, between four and five o'clock, a woman named
Anne King, aged 25, was found smothered in a cellar of
soot, at the house, No. 10, Parker.steeet, Drury-Loo, which
is in the occupation of • sweep. It appears that on the
previous day the deceased had visited another woman, and
the two drank somewhat freely. The deceased on leaving
promised to return to tea, and it Is supposed on coming back
she mistook the house, and walking into No. 10 pitched
headlong intothe cellar of soot. She bad been dead some
time when found. The remains were convoyed by Ser-
geant Aspinshaw, 2 F, and other constables, to St. Giles's
