c.4urioN TO COLLIERS.

A fatal strident occurred at the irolverhampton Colliery
on Wednesday seek Wm. Ball, a miner, we% desreading
an ironstone pit in a skip, when, after having been lowered
only a few yards., the whimsey by some means turned. and he
was drawn up again with great rapidity. Upon coming In
the mouth of the pit, he jumped from the ►kip and clung
with his hand. to the pit frame, to save himself from
being drawn over the pulley; bet either the ship, or the
tackling chains by uhiels it WAS fastened, (might he■ leg,
and drew them tip wish it. After remaining a few seconds
with his heels uppermost, his feet became disentangled,
sod be was then compelled to let go his bold of the pit
frame, fell headlong dawn the shaft, a depth of nearly
eighty yards, sod wee instantaneously killed. Au inquest
has been held npun the body of the deceased before Plenty
Smith, Eaq. Curons r, and it appears by the evideuce,
that the engineer, William Dunning, whose ditty it was
to watch the descent of the skip, bad quilted his post to
supply the boiler with slack, during which tune the accident
happened. The Jury Rommel a verdict of Maislar,Ates
against Dunning, and be has been committed to gaol.

On the29th ult. the ship Lark, of South Shields,
JAMES ACM/STRONG muster, from St. Juln.'s New-
foundland, bound fur Leith, with a cargo of tim-
ber, sprung a leak iii 57 degrees nom. latitude ;
the crew, thirteen in number, with five passengers,
►emained upon the rigging eight eiys, during *hid)
four men died. They at length, in consiqtience sit
the vessel making no way, had reziiiirse to the long-
boat, and werconly able to secures few potatoes, with
a yowl; pointer dog; they remained six days at sea,
during which two men died ; the crew and passengeis
survived three days on the dog. Their provisions
being at length about expended they kept one of
the corpses in the boat, when providentially the
sloop Sea Gall, of Lerwick, picked them tin about
thirty miles west of Saliburgli Head, Shetland
(being nine of the crew and three passengers sur-
vivors), and brought them safe to Tobermurry, Isle
of Mull. It is much feared that some of them will
requite to have their limbs amputated, being
swollen and discoloured in • shocking manner.
‘V hen the crew and passengers left the ship she
was quite entire, and in ■ll probability she will
come ashore on the west side of the coast of Ireland.
