EXPLOSION IN A COLLIERY.-41 dreadful explosion took
place on Monday, June JO. in one of Mr. Lainbton's col-
lieries, near Che.ter•h~street, by which between 3U and 40
persons lost theil lives ; this awful catastrophe was produced
by the foolliarditieid of a woi kman, who persisti.,l in using a
C.NOlle in a part of the mine where an explosive mix-
tore. of inflammable air existed.

Lord Amherst, we are sorry to find, has had to en- •
counter, on his voyage homewards, a severe niisthrtune,
in addition to his political failure at the Chinese Court. •
The Dawson, Captain M 4 Donald, from lieng•al, sailed the
Ist of February, left the Cape the Ist of May, and the
Island of Ascension the Latl of May. At the last men-
tioned place, Captain M‘Donald learned, that the
Alceste ftigate, having Lord Amherst on board, was
totally lost in the straits of Gaspar ; that Lord Amherst
had arrived at Ihdavia in the ship's cutter, and Lad
charged an American, hound tin. Holland, with his
dispatches, which may be expected every hour.—The
ere," of the Aleeste were all saved.

POETRY.

THE DIS111S1)E1) NEGRI) SAILOR.

Have yon not seen a wretched shivering for:n,
His eye sulfoial wits eie.ow's silent tear,
Faishelter'd tuidit the rude relentlesa stone,
IMknawn, unpitied, wipe /tea:tea here ?
Cold, craving hunger, long ha 1w endured,
Nor vet at noun or night his morsel Caine;
His tool, in vain, cor.tpession oft implored ;
And dread disease :tow femme! tot his frat..c.
A houaeless wanderer in a stranger's land,
Despised, neglected--hew severe his lot ;
No welcome labour fills his vacant hand;
And long LTC this by native scenes toTgot.
But why a wretched exile does he roam?
1/id he disgraces) tirrsake his native chore ?
Alt! no—but kidnapped from a pveicefail fave:e,
And dommal, ! to ‘i-it it no more.
Proud I' arope's luxuty demands a slave,
Anti drags the helpless .Xtrisan away ;
lie cries in v: in sweet pity's metal to crave,
polished tyrant deems hint legal pre;...
At length to Albion's happy island brought,
Where Slavery deist not show his hated Mira.
Ile mewled our fleet. he in our battles fought,
And braved o'er ocean's homan many a storm.
And when dismiss'il from war's terrific train,
No anxiine kindred hails his ;dud return,
No kind employer weleoines hint again,
For him with cheering blaze no embers burr..
But doonuel to drink of penury and woe,
'file detest dregs the bitter cup contains,
A waittlenne beggar still ommelied to go,
And drag existenze in att;!ction'a chains.
I saw him Lite, wit!: keenest anguish bent,
Seek for a pillow yonder cheerless stone;
Whilst heedless by, the listen
selfish vaci.t,
Nor female ear would hasten to his moan.
Inc him no kind Samaritan was found
To wipe the ears front Ins deieettal eye,
To raise Ins drooping head, to bind his wound,
Or breathe fur hint the sympathetic sigh.
The ILtmburgh Mail last received, contains an ar-
ticle professing to come from a Prussian Correspondent,
communicating a piece of information resptting Eng-
land, well calculated to excite our risibility. It states
that
" Letters from Finland convey the very joyful news of an
intended lottery of mama facllll ell goods, in which the tickets
mite, indeed, to be very deur, bait the purchasers may wit
