SOUTH WALES.—Arrangements are in progress for
extending the electric telegraph over the whole of the
South Wales Railway, so as to connect all the ports and
places on the coast with: the west of England and the ma-
tropolis by telegraph.
EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPE TO PAD.
nreenToer.—During the last few days, permission having
been given by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
workmen have been busily engaged in laying under-
ground wires for the Electric Telegraph Company from
Albert-gate, where the wires communicate with Loth-
bury and the Strand, thrcugh Kensington-gardens and
Hyde Park, to Paddington, so as to complete the line of
communication between the metropolis and the wires on
the Great Western Railway to the West of England.
The wires that were laid down throughout the whole in-
terior of the late Crystal Palace have been worked in
for this purpose, and are continued

SERIOUS COLLIERY ACCIDENT.
NorrixtunAnx, JULY 28.—Yesterday morning an ac-
cident occurred at the Bedford Colliery, near this town,
the property of Lord Middleton, by which four men in
his Lordship's employ will be maimed for life, if, indeed,
they survive the melancholy catastrophe, which, at pre-
sent, in the case of one or two of them at least, is Very
doubtful. . .

We learn, upon inquiry on the spot, that at about
half Test nine o'clock the engine of No. 9 pit was draw-
ing up the men in question, when the rope broke after
they had been raised some fifteen or sixteen yards,
though no w6ght was attached thereto beyond the coal-
weggon and its living occupants, and all were precipi-
tated to the bottom. At the time of the accident many
men and boys were at work.below, who rendered every
possible assistance to he sufferers, but of course without
being able to administer the surgical relief they re-
quired. In the meantime. those engaged above were ex-
erting themselves to attach another rope to the engine,
in which they succeeded after the lapse of about half an
hour, and the sufferers were then brought to the sur-
face. They ere—William Banner, of Radford, aged 40;
John Husbands, of Radford, aged 36; William Robinson,
of VVollaton, aged 25; and William Bonier, of Redford,
aged 60. Husbands is a smith, and had been
into the pit !or the purpose of shoeing
the horses, males, and asses working therein, which
are seldom brought cut, except in case of sickness or
death; the other three are butty colliers, and hold the
contract for working that pit. Banner and Husbands
were removed to the Gcuer‘,l rioqital at Nottingham.
The former has sustained a campound fracture of the
left leg and a dislocation of the right ankle, and the
latter is suffering from a contused wound of the scalp
and a sprained ankle. Robinson and Banter were taken
to their OWII homes, where they are attended by Dr.
Williams and Mr. Thompson. Robinson has kis right
hip badly contused, one foot dislocated, and he complains
of severe pain inside; be is believed tb be in great dan-
ger. Bonier has several ribs on the left side ands bone
in his right ankle fractured. In the absence of an offi-
cial inquiry it is to be feared that the accident is entirely
the result of reckless inattention. The rope, which had
been a year and a half in use, was worn out, and there-
fore could not sustain weights any longer, even light
ones. Our reporter was informed in the village that
the colliers had for some time past suffered themselves
to be raised and lowered by the defective rope with fear
and trembling, and that they had more than once re-
monstrated against its use, but without their remon-
strances being heeded. Only one moment before it
snapped, and the poor fellows were hurled to the bottom,
one of them exclaimed, " Oh! if this rope should
break!" It is said that one of the engineers cut off a
piece of the chafed cable after the accident, and destroyed
it, to that it may not be forthcoming when required by
the coroner or the Government inspector.

FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.
On Wednesday evening an accident happened on the
s, off Bermondsey, which created a painful feeling
of alarm and excitement among the numerous persons
who witnessed it. A fl/4.w minutes before six o'clock the

Herne Bay Company's steam-packet Father Thames,
from Margate and Herne Bay, was coming np the Pool
at full speed, on her way to Fresh Wharf, when she met
with a boat, containing five ballast getters and a lighter-
man, who were crossing the stream from the south to
the north side of the *river. The people in the boat
seemed alarmed at the rapid approach of the steamer,
and as they neared each other Captain Greenland, the
master of the Father Thames, called to them to pull
over, when a sudden panic arose among the people it;
the ballast boat, and two of the men in her stern jumped
up and caught hold of the oars rowed by the two other!,
and pulled the boot a-stern, which brought her

and no time
police, who soon arrived with his assistant, and found
the patient in a hot bath, and the Thames police actively
engaged in endeavouring to restore animation, in which
they persevered for nearly two hours when the man began
to exhibit some signs of life. The exertions of Mr. Ross
and the Thames police were then redoubled, and at a
late hour the poor man was so far recovered as to al-
low of his being removed to the workhouse adjoining
Wapping Church. Yesterday he was going on favour-
ebly, but he is not entirely out of danger. His name is
John Mangen. The name of the person drowned is John
Sullivan. The following were saved; John Ogden,
'
James Caldon, Michael Hardigan, and George Harper.
It appears from inquiries made by the Thames police
that the occurrence was purely accidental, and that both
parties were doing their best to avoid it when it took
place. Captain Greenland, the master of the Father
Thames, is an old and experienced conductor of river
steamers, and never met with any material geoidn I
before. -
