DREADFUL VT.

On Tuesday se'anight,about 8 o'clock in the morn-
ing another in those awful catastrophes 'which, within
these few years, it has been too often our ineLmeholy
ditty to mentimi, occurred al CdrVllle colliery, near New-
castle. The pit had been re.opened for working, about
eiAlo weeks, by the owners of the adylii ll ill g colliery of
Walt's End. The workmen employed its it had been
selected as the very prime, from the whole of the exien•
sire works of the owners, and the vemillation was con-
sidered as complete as that of any other on the river.—
We understand that there is a band (i, e. a stratum of
some in the coal, and that it was iievcssary to use candles
in blasting a. However that may be, at the time men-
tioned, when 55 persons were iii the mine, an explosion
of hydrogen gas took plac., which killed 82 of them,
dreadfully burnt two others, one of whom is since dead,
and only one miraculously escaped unhurt. 'lite pb•
sioa shook the ground like an earthquake, and made the
liiruitore dance tit the sorroutoling houses The body
of one boy was blown high mit of the shaft, and fell
again to the bottom. By this lamentable event 26 wi-
dows, and between 80 and 90 children, have beeti de-
prived of support. Forty of the sulkrers were under 40
years of age. It is a must remarkable circumstance.,
that one or them told his wile, before setting out to work
on that fatal mornin..4 that he had dreamt the pit was
b:yr.vis up, and she affection itchy entreated him not to
but he said it was hot a dream, and waved her ad-
vice. The man who escaped, in the course of an hour
bravely ventured down agsin to the mine, to assist in
bringing up his unfortunate companions. An inquest
seas nn WCIIIR•XIiy held on the bodies, by S. Reed, Esq.
and the verdict was, that " the sufferers accidentally
cause by their deaths, by an explosion of hydrogen gas
in the working of the colliery." On Thursday terwson
they were decently buried in Wall's End church-yard, at
the expense of the owners of the colliery, who presented
cacti faintly with a guinea for present use, and will af-
ford them houses, Mel, &c. as long as they may need
the hut we have little doubt that the benevolence of
the public will on this, as on other occasions of a simi-
lar nature, step forward to alley late, as far as pecuniary
benevolence can alleviate, the anguish of this unhappy
and long train of mourners.

Shoals% Accidatl.—As Mr. Sorre, of Deatmtreet,
accompanied by his friend, a Mr. Itetaingi.mough, VVCfe
returning to London from Twickenham in a single horse
chaise. on Tuesday evening, the chaise was driven against
the wiled of a coal curt. in King's naiad, when travel-
ling at the rate of twvive miles au hour, and upset with
erash, which shattered it to pieces. Mr. Sorre, who
was driving, was Liken up in a seui;eless and hopeless
tate, and Mr. liciiinE,borougli had hia alai mid collar
hvue brului.

A French paper relates the following anecdote:—" A
diligence was on the point of rssing the French Iron.
tiers to enter a neighbouring kingdom, where several
articles of French manufacture are not admitted ; a
beautiful female who was one of the passengers, ex-
pressed her hopes that she should be enabled to smuggle
a fine lace veil, which was concealed very secretly about
her person. A taciturn gontlemati, who was one of the
passengers, and who appeared to be absorbed in reverie,
said nothing, but arriving at the Custom-house, he, on
some pretext, alighted. On the passengers entering the
ollice, the lady received a hint to retire into another
room, and divest herself of the lace veil which she had
about her, with which she, of course, found it neces-
sary to comply. On resuming their seats in the dill-
geuce, the lady who had lust her veil, broke out into a
torrent of inveuive against the taciturn gentleman,
whim' she accused of having been the iliformer, and the
other passengers joined her in heaping abuse upon hint.
On their reaching a considerable distance from the Iron-
tier' " Madame," said the taciturn gentleman, who
had hitherto said nothing in return for the invective
poured so profusely upon him, " you arc right, I am
the guilty trufividnal, but please to tell me what was the
value of the loss you so much regret ?" " It was worth
nearly 100 loins' monster that you are!" said the lady in
a groat patbaiout.attel visseetliog tears. "Well, Al ad a WV,
dry up your tears, and if you will accept one of 1,000
clowns, 1 ant ready to offer it in you at where
we ire to alight." " h it possible 1" "Do not iota.
give, however, that my oiler is the effect of remorse of
conscience; 1 have intordneed, by means nearly simile'
to those you employed, contraband goods of the same
kind, of the Value of nearly It/0,000 francs, into this
country. My denunciation against you turned aside all
the suspicions that might have been conceived against
me, and you see that only one of us has been c oight—
thanks to the trilling reparation which I owe you."—
This explanation had an immediate effect : the taciturn
gentleman was then pronounced one of the honest men
the world ; and the lair traveller, quite delighted, cried
out, in which she was joined by the other passengers,
" Clumnanl vulcur ! " _

DEATH THROUGH EXICESSIVE DRINK tirG.-.--On
Friday afternoon an inquest was held belOre Mr. Shelton,
the coroner for the city of London, at the Crown and
Anchor, Ncw•strect-hill, Shoe-lane, on the body of a❑
elderly gentleman of the name of Rink, who met his
death in the following manner :—Froin the witnesses
examined before the coroner and the jury, it appeared
Wednesday last was his birth-day; that hu had freely
indulged in finking on that day, and that he did not re-
turn home to his lodgings until early on Thursday morn.
ing. On the people of the house coming down in the
morning, Mr. Battle was found lying at the bottom of
the stair-case quite dead, and there appeared a wound os
contusion of the side of his head, which, front circum-
stances, it is supposed he received by falling backwards
down stairs.—Mr. Wray, a respectable surgeon in the
neighbourhood, examined the body, and expressed his
opution that the wound was not of so severe a nature as
to be fatal. but that lie believed that death was occa-
sioned by apoplexy, through excessive drinking.
Mysleriuus eireumaance.—ths the tfith instant, as Mr
Lawry, a farmer of the Barton of Place, in the parish
of St. Anthony, near St. Mawes, Cornwall, was digging
for manure on the beach near low water mark, he found
a human skelson, which lay under some Sand and rub.
hish, with the face downwards, and the arm turned un-
der the body ; a large stone was placed on the shoulders.
From the siitiai ion in which it was found, it is supposed
to be the remains of some person that hail been murder-
ed. Fr(((( the appearance of the remains, they are sup-
posed to have been those of a tall man. On the abm e
circumstance being known, a woman resident at S:.
NI awes stated, that about 20 years si nee, when she was
ill the seiviee of Admiral Spry, she had at one iime oc-
casion its pass the allow spot about midnight, when she
saw four sailors digging: on seeing her they immedi-
ately ran oil. Being snuck alarmed at their appealance,
she hastened back to the house; but the memo:lice was
passed oven. The flowing of the tide s.ton obliterated
all vestiges of the spot that had been disturbed.
aonnan Iris often mentioned the cheunistance, and tx-
pressed a wish to learn why the sailors were dining at
that time and place. The remains have been carefully
co!leeted and placed in a coffin, which has been depo-
sited in the church-yard of St. Anthony, and the large
stone found on the shoulders placed at the head.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—The Countess of Lau-
derdale departed this life on Wednesday evening lust,
about six o'clock, to the inexpressible grief of her noble
Eirl and surrounding relatives and friends. ller melan-
choly dissolution has, alas ! been attended with taut-
wham circumstances. The Countess had just taken
ditinsir. and had retired to her chamber for the purpose
si enjoying her custom of all hour's repose on her conch
by the fire side, when a coal suddenly emitted a spark on
her muslin frill, which, immediately igniting, dissemi-
listed its ravages throu jhout herdrers with overwhelming,
rapidity. Although every assistance was as prompt s•

EITR AOR in N RY Monday,Clearlotte Ii iggs
d young woman, was brought before Sir Richard Milne
charged with felony under circuital:nit:4.s of a ye'', bingo-
Jar and aggravated nature.

The prisoner was sat want in the family of Kensington
Lewis, Esq. of George-street, Adelphi, and hail been so
for inure than two years. Mr. Lewis has four children ;
two or three of his servants were occasionally left wills
the children at his country house. When this was the
case, the sole management of the children was left to the
prisoner. Notwithstanding all the care which the parents
themselves bestowed upon their children, they every day
grew more weak and sickly. At length the cause was
discovered.

About six weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Lewis took their
eldest daughter, about seven years old, to Pat is, and when
there a few days she grew more lively, and one day in-
formed her another, that as she was not afraid now of being
skinned alive," she would tell her something. The child
then said that she and the other children, when they were
at the country house, never had any milk, but were fed
upon bread and water,just a little coloured with milk, and
of that they had barely sufficient ; and that the prisoner
was constantly beating them—and the threat of the ser-
vants was, that they would "skin them (the children)
alive" if they ever told a word to their parents. Upon
this intelligence, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis hastened home, and
upon inquiry they learned that the paisimer had never
taken more than one quart of milk per day, though she
was ordeied to take three, and always charged in lea
hills hilt hit ec.

In the course of the inquiry, some suspicion arose that
the pi isinser had sobbed as well as defrauded them, and
Mr. Lewis procured a warrant to search her trunks,
where lie and the police officer found a valuable net silk
shawl, a gm itet ring, and a considerable quantity of lace
and oilier as steles, belonging to Mrs. Lewis, and they also
found a gold watch, several trinkets, and 3U sovereigns,
welch the prisoner said wes e her's.
s:ie now said, when quetioned by the Magistrate, that
Lr hold earned the sonniey. She also said, that the gas net
I tug was her own, and that the other things were given
her by Mrs. Lewis.
This was denied, and site was fully committed to New-
gate for %slat.

was recently brotigitt forward before tile Justice of Peace

bals Associated Friendly Society, snider the pretext 01

mein ; the Society gave hint two weeks bed-fast aliment,
but, it having come to their knowledge that the claim-

and questioned Min as to the truth of tile report they had

was resolved that lie had to claim, and, agreeably to the
articles, expelled him the society for hypos:lig upon

the Preses and Collector to the above Coign. When tic
ease came to be heard, the defenders brought forward six
wittiesses to prove their defence, but two only were ex-
The Justices declared themselves satisfied, ap-
Foy' il of the proceedings of the society, and, after a
very severe admonition to the claimant, dismissed the
action, and found him liable in all expences.
