(From the 11 isnPngdot t,Gozettc.l
Another dreadful tire has spread dismay through oaf neigitbour-
hood. Scarcely had we ceased to dephne the enlernitl at Over,
when our sympathies are awakened ary a similar misfortune nearer
home ; winch. if nut attended with lilt extensive and ruinous con-
sequences which marked the conflagration at Over, took place under
circumstances more awful. On Wthoeiday, abota two o'clock, a
dreadful at; rm burst over the neighbourtood of Upton. The rain
I fell in torrents, the thunder was untiringly loud, and the lightning
most vivid ; considerable apprehensions were therefore entertained,
lest it should be attended with fatal donsequenees. The worst fears
were smtedily realized ; and th.e inhabitant* of this town thrown into
the greatest cmfusion by the arrival of a horseman, who galloped
into the north end, crying. " Fire, *el" &c. The engines were
instantly drawn out, and almost tie instantly arrived port horses (two
fours) from the Fountain and George Motels. which were put to.
and, with about eight or tea men to each engine, imretediately set
off at full speed to Monk's ‘Food Fare, near Aleonhury 091, the
residence of Mr. hloyse, where they attired in about twenty mi..
miter, hut not in time to preserve any part of the corn, haystacke,
or the buildings in the farm-yard. all of which were in one ender
blaze. It appears, that about two o'clock three or four very vivid
flashes of lightning were felt, and were instantly succeeded by a
tremendous clap of thunder. which a).peAred to strike the earth; at
that moment a large ball of fire was seen to fall upon a barn. which
was full of unthreshed corn, anti instantly the whole building war
I in flames. Two men were at the. time in the barn ; they ran out

their passage to England :—Thetis. from Rio Janeiro; Alligator,
Iron) the East Indies; Kumar, from the West Indies; Diamond,
from South America, Lisbon, and Madeira; Naiad. from the
I Mediterranean ; and Rifleman, from North America.
The Jasper, Captain Blackwood, will sail hence in a few days
with specie for Bermuda, Halifax, and Newfoundland, and thence
I to the Mediterranean.
The Galatea, Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart. is gone out of harbour;
the Philomel, Lord W. Paget, came in, to tit for tbreign
service; the Dispatch, Captain Parsons, sailed this afternoon for
I the Cork station: and the Arrow, Lieutenant Brooking, on 'cruise.

tiate, Pyramus, Pelican, Philomel, and Clinker.

in the Regulations este:dished by the King in Council, relating
to his Majesty's service at sea, and lately published by authority of

Coett.3l.artial that mat-teed some Tears ago in the Rat ladies,
we were astounded. On finite stations these Courts are deprived
of the necessary legal advice and assistance of a qualified Judge.
Advocate; for the pernon generally appointed, from nee:miry, to
officiate as Judge-Advocate, is totally incompetent to discharge the
functions attached to his important office. In Civil Courts, on trials
for murder. we often notice hair-breadth distinctions made between
the circumstances necessary to constitute that crime, and those than
constitute the crime of an inferior degree of homicide ; with these
nice distinctions every member of a Court-Martial should be well
acquainted. Under the impression that a knowledge of these facts
will produce on the Mind of every one that has a faithful regard to
the good of his Majesty's service, we did hope to see, in the regu.
Igloos lately published, the instructions relating to Naval Juris-
prudence considerably extended. About one hundred short and
explicit toles of evidence. strictly applicable to Naval eases, pre-
pared by the Law Officers of the Admiralty, and issued with the
General Printed laattuttione, would carry an authority with them
superior to that of any work that hal been published on the sub-
ject ; and would serve as a material guidance, HI regard to evidence,
to Courts Martial held on Foreign stations.
An Annuity Friendly society, Cinder in principle to that of' the
Royal Naval Annuitant Society, has been formed in this place, by
the Warrant Officers of the Navy. Forty members enrolled their
n ones, and paid their first quarter's advance, on the first sitting.
We are requested to insert the following :
At a General Meeting of the IVarrant Officers' Annuitant So-
ciety, held on board his Majesty's ship Coromandel, on Friday,
Scpteraher the Bth, 1026 ;
Resolved unanininusly.—" That the thanks of this Society be
given to Captains Claud, Dauber, and Harrison, of the Royal
Navy, and to Lieutenant Whylock, of the Royal Marines, for the
very handsome manner in which they have behaved towards the
Society, assisting it with advice and accommodation for Its firma.
non ; anti that the same be inserted in the Ilampthirc Telegraph,
as the most public manner of conveying the same."

strong wind was blowing rrom the 15.75 .. anti • -
minute,' the whole of the farm-yard was in a blaze. The efforts Of
those persons that had arrived, by this time anintinthig to some
hundreds, were directed to preserving the furniture and property
in the house, which were quickly removed into the garden. Upon
the arrival of the engines their attention was directed to a stable,
which was in a line with another that adjoins the outbuildings of
the dwelling-honker one of the engines was placed in a pond near,
and was kept playing upon it whilst the stable was pulled down
and completely carried away; there was then an open space of se-
veral yards from the tire to tits stable next the house, which it was
br contemplation also to remove., but the wind blowing the flames in
td opposite direction, and by tattering part of the building with
a Mtge cloth, and keeping hey/is:andy wet, it was though there
letpioot a necessity for it, which fortunately proved to be the case.
ltr. and Mrs. Mime were fixity home spending a few days With
smile hiemis in London, but wereexpeetedeo return that afternoon
by the Defiance coach, and upon its arrival at Huntingdon the me-
lancholy intelligence was communicated to them, when they im-
mediately got into a post-cludid, which in a few minutest carried
them to Monk's Wood House, whm re they. were met by several
friends to console them upon this unexpected loss.
This dreadful conflagration hit levelled with the ground two
barns (full of corn)• strides, cart hovels, cow sheds, &c., thirteen
stacks of corn and hay, a Og, and all the farming implements,
except three or four ploughs which were in the fields, and the two
carts and waggon Lefor‘e mentioned. The loss of these imple-
ments must be heavy, as Mr. Moyse has tor the last few years
been farming upon scientific peineiples; as great improvements
have taken place upon. his farm as on any woodland tutu in the
county. The estate belongs to Lord George Cavendi,h, and the
building! were not insured ; fortunately Mr. filoyse's property was
insured in the Norwich Union Oilice, but we fear to not much more
than half the loss he wIl ultimately sustain. When we left at
twelve o'clock. the danger was completely ever ; but the ravages of
the fire only left a small stable, a granazy, and, the dwellinrehouse,
a stack of faggots, and a small piece of brick-work, the corner of
a barn. The fences and plantation near the stark-yard vein con.
sumdd ; not even is piece of wood deny value it left. The engine,'
returned to Huntingdon on Thursday morning, and the rain which
fell during that day had nearly quenched the ashes. We cannot
conclude this account without bearing testimony to the indefati-
gable exertions of those gentlemen of the neighbourhood who were
present, and several others that went from Huirtingdon ; those also
conducted and worked the engniss, and executed their duty in Avery
praiseworthy manner; but the pipes'of the engine seemed to be a
great deal ousof repair. We are sorry to say a poor man from Alcon-
bury Weston fell from the top of the house, whilst enpged in pre-
' venting its taking fire; he wan taken borne by a gentleman in his
' I gig, but, as he was able to walk, we hope he is not seriously hurt.

vrii ERAS, I, the undersigned, JOHN GRIFFITHS,
late a Door-keeper at the Royal Coburg Theatre, am the
author of, and have been the cause of. circulating a gross Libel on
Mr. GEORGE BOIAVELL DAVIDGE, the present Proprietor
and Lessee of the said Theatre, contained in a handbill printed for me
by Mr. Thomas Ilttvisoa. of No. 10, Duke-street, West Smithfield,
purporting to be a friendly public caution to persons of small capital
to beware of being swindled at the Coburg Theatre, and stating the
contents to be the sentiments of the majority of the Door-keepers of
the mid Theatre, without their sanction or approbation, and having
subjected myself to legal proceedings on account thereof—l have
applied to Mr. Davidge, confessing my crime, and entreating hint
to stay such proceedings against me, which he has consented to do,
upon my inserting an apology and recantation in the public newt.
papers, for which I shall ever feel grateful. Ido therefore hereby
declare I had no just cause whatever to state what appears in the
printed Libel ; and I most humbly entreat Mr. Davidge to forgive
me for my intemperance and folly, and I look back with shame and
remorse at my unjustifiable conduct, having always experienced
friendship and kindness from him, and which has been increased
by his accepting this public apology from me.
As witn my hand this seventh day of September, 1826.

ACCIDENT AT RICH lIEWORTH COLLIERY.
On the Tuesday last, the sth inst...the inhabitants of High Ha-
worth and the neighbourhood were thrown into a state of great
alarm by an explosion taking place in the John Pit, at High He.
worth, about seven o'clock in the morning. Fortunately the loss
of human life on this occasion is mull, compared with preceding.
accidents; the destruction effected in the workings, however, is de-
scribed as being very considerable. As soon as ventilation could
be in some measure restored, prompt exertions were made in re.
covering the bodies of the dead, and assisting the living sufferers
to fresh air and surgical relief. The bodies of John Scott, of high
Felling. head wasteman at the colliery (who has left a wife and
4 children), Joseph hunter, and John southhall. of Wrekington,
were found death in the course of the forenoon. (leorge Bailey. of
Windy Nook, a boy, was so much injured that he died on Wed-
nesday. John Tulip, of high Felling, a boy, eight years of age.
was so desperately injured, that the surgeon declined, from motives
of humanity, to put him to the pain of the operations usually re.
sorted to, but which in his case could only have been additional
torment. Ile was not dead on Nfednestlay night, though suffering
under a fracture on the head, having his thigh broken, and being
much burnt in other parts of his body. Ahet't ten others are
more or less injured by the fire and after-damp, but all are likely to
recover in a fete days. On Wedneaday afternoon, an inquest was
held on the body of John Scott, before M. HALL. Esq. the Coro.
ner for Chester Ward, at the house of Robert Greener, sign of
Shakespear, High Felling, when the following evidence was ad-
duced.
Matthew Rodgers. of Holly Hill, waggon-way-Wright to the
colliery, stated that he was down the pit on the morning of the
accident. He was at the Machine Bank : he felt the wind from
the explosion, and escaped to Ft place of safety. Sometime after,
he went, with others, in search of the bodies which might be left.
He found Joseph hunter, who was dead, but not wounded. After.
wards found the deceased Scott; he was welt burnt. He went
down the pit at three that morning ; he was down the night before
at eight, and at both times the pit appeared to be in a good slate.
He cannot say how the accident happened. They always work
with candles and common lamps. They had no Davy's nor mills.
He supposed the accident took place wheys Scan was. Did not
consider that any one was ti blame.
George Arkless, of High Heworth, a viewer of the colliery,
stated that he wax down on the day before the accident happened :
that he examined the places near to where the accident happened,
and found them all perfectly well ventilated. The explosion took
place in the waste. lie was there on Thursday last. On Tuesday
morning he went down about half after six : he was withiu forty
yards of the part where the explosion took place, and did not ap-
prehend the least danger, that pan being in a very good working
state. The explosion took place whilst he was there :he sou hurt,
and went to get air. Ile then went in search of William Rodgers,
who was found alive and taken to get air. lie then ordered a
quantity of stoppings to be replaced which the explosion hail blown
away. in order to restore ventilation to the mine. and enable them
to search for the bodies'. Search was then made for Hunter; he
was found within about fifty yards of the spot where the accident
happened: he was nearly dead. Jolts Tulip, a boy, was then
found alive : and lastly, John Scott ; he was quite dead and much
burnt. No doubt the blast was the cause of his death. Has no
reason to suppose there was any neglect, unless it was in a boy.
named Tulip, not keeping a door which was to bear the air up.
Cannot say whether that door was open or not. They worked
with candles because there was no necessity for any other light.'
Every one in that part of the mine was hurt ntor tr less, and was
much thrown about.
Edward Rodgers, of High Heworth, overman to the pit, gave
similar testimony respecting the previous good state of the pit, the
explosion, and finding the bodies. lie then stated that they had
this morning (Wednesday) gone all round, and Mund no fault ex-
cept the neglect of an up-blowing door. He could not say who
neglected that door, whether some men coming through over-night,
or the boy who kept it t rather thought it was the neglect of little
John Tulip, who kept it. It was tudd in the room by some of the
persons connected with the colliery, that the door could not have
been left open by the men, as if that had been the case the pit
would have been tired as soon as John Tulip shut the door when he
went in the morning, which was some time before the accident
took place.] John Tttlip is about eight years of age ; be Is very
much burnt. No other person was to blame.
John Richardson and Christopher Lee spoke to the general good
state of the pit ; could not blame any one for the accident.
Mr. HALL here inquired of the Jury if they were satisfied with
the evidence given, as no more witnesses were in attendance. The
jurors explained themselves toddled, and Mr. Hall read over the
evidence, observing that if they should be of opinion that neglect
on the part of the boy Tulip had caused this accident, their verdict
would be one of manslaughter against him. On the contrary, if
they thought that not sufficiently established, land he confessed be
thought the evidence on that point very slight, but they were the
winos to judge of that), their verdict would be accidental death.
The Jury were unanimous in opinion that there was not sufficient
evidence to induce them to
give any verdict but that of Accidental
Death.
