A smuggling lugger, of considerable value, has
been captured off Ballylotta Head, by the boats
of the Sesniromis and Cyrus. Intelligence of the
vessel being seen from the land was communicated
to Lord COLVILLE, while he was engaged iu Di-
vine Service on Christmas-day. He sent his ad-
vices upon a slip of paper, and they were fulfilled
by those appointed to execute them. The boats
separated iu a thick haze, and only one, containing
*Sven men, fell in with the lugger, the officer in
which practised a stratagem with success. He gave
orders 'audibly, as if several boats were at hand—
Varying his tone of voice, in order to make it ap-
pear as if the officers commanding the different
boats were emulously inspiriting their crews. When
the crew of seven boarded the smuggler, she proved
to be manned with forty picked stamen, and well
armed. No resistance was made, and the remain-
ing boats' crews having rowed up when the fog
cleared off, the vessel was safely brought iuto Cove,

A remarkable occurrence took place a short time
ago at the Oldfield Colliery, near Fenton Park, in
this county : happeunig in the night of Sunday,
none of the men were at work, nor any person near
the place, excepting a young man unending the
viper to work the pump. who at the time hail lain
down aside the boiler, and was fallen astern, when
about two o'clock in the morning a tremendous
explosion of the hydrogen gas took place in the pit
underneath, which agitated the earth to the surface
to such a degree as to cause. the man to roll over.
and the concussion was se• great that it shook the
inhabitants in their beds to some distance, creat-
ing in them much alarm. and a fear that their
habitations would fall on their heads. It was
singularly providential that this explosion took
place on the night slave-named, for had it bap.
pened oil any other, must likely the lives of many
of the poor colliers would have Niko a sacrifice.—•
