Two COLLIERS KILLED BT THE BREAKING OF A ROPE.
—On Friday a shocking accident occurred at the colliery
of Mrs. Stanley, at Harpurhey, Lancashire. The engine
tenter, named Wm. Stopport, was lowering two colliers
down the shaft, when, within 40 yards of the bottom
and 270 from the top, the rope snapped asunder near
the pulley over the pit, and precipitated them into the
drainage water at the bottom. The unfortunate men
were taken out dead.

The new suspension-bridge at the Glasgow-green was
formally opened for traffic on Thursday forenoon. The
whole cost, including the Parliamentary expenses, is
6 5001, and. it is confidently hoped that the half-pence
of occasional passengers, and the twopence a week of
daily customers, will, at no very distant date, enable
the council to throw open the bridge to the public free
of any charge. The length of the bridge is 230 feet, the
width between the rails 15 feet, and the height of the
columns 24 feet. The work was commenced on the
29th September, 1854.
