DUEL bETWEEN THE MEMBERS FOR
•CANTERBURY. . •
The following " Minutes of a difference. betwpon the
'Hon. G. Smythe, M.P., and Cotono • Romilly, M.P.."
are published bpiesir&of Mn., Bernal Osborne, Captain
Viviazi, and Mr. .Forteseue:—
Thursday, May 2n, 1852.
Minutes of a difference between - the Hon. G. Smythe,
M.P.,. and Colonel Romilly, M.P. - •
Mr. Osborne having been deputed by Colonel Romilly
on the 19th May, to wait upon 'Mr. Smythe, for the pur-
pose of requesting an explanation of some expressions re-
fleeting-upon Colonel Romilly, in, a .speech of Mr. Smythe's,
as repotted in the Morning CLenicle of May 19, 1852, such
expressions being cbngidertd by Cblonel Romilly to exceed
the fair license of a political contest, was referred by Mr,
Smythe to the Hon. Captain Vivian, who, on the part of
Mr: Smythe, at once acknowledged the entire correctness
tot the report of Mr. Smythe's speech in the Morning Chroni-
cle of May 19.
Mr. Osborne, on the part of Colonel Romilly, disclaimed
the allegAtion that Colonel Romilly had • entered into any
cabal, or made use of any unfair means, for the purpose of
injuring Mr. Smythe in the opinions of the electors of Can-
terbury; and- further denied that any coalition had ever
existed between Mr...Smythe and Colonel Romilly, or that
he made any personal application sblicitmg Mr. Smythe for
b.upport in the election of 1850. In accordance with this
statement, Itr.--.ostiorne called upon Captain Vivian to with-
draw the offensive expressions in question.
Captain Vivian, on the part of Mr. Smythe, declined to
accept any such disclainlbe of Colonel Romilly's intentions
as not being, in Mr. Smythe's view, borne out by the facts
of the case, and maintained that Colonel ,Romil;.Y nor ouiy
accepted Mr. Smythe's support at the 'election Of 1850, but
personally than4ed Mr. Smythe fur his exertions and interest
in his behalf.

Captain Vivian, beirg under the impression that Mr.
Smythe bad been treated with systematic unfuirnaas through
,the entire proceeding, declined to withdraw the offensive ex-
pressions complained of by Mr. Osborne.
Inconsequence of which, a hostile meeting took place be-
tween Mr. Smythe and Colonel Rom illy this morning, when
after an interchange of shots, Colonel Roma!), having,
through his second, the Hon. John Fortescue, M.P., declared
himself satisfied, the parties left the ground.

FEARFUL -COLLIERY EXPLOSION..
THIRTY-TWO .LIVES LOST. ' • PRESTON, THURSDAY EvaraxG.a-Intelligence- reached
this town at noon to-day of a most disastrout colliery explo-
sion in the township of Coppul, about eight miles distant, by
which thirty-two lives have been lost. •
.. •
The pit in which'the accident occurred is situated about a
mile and a half from Chorley, and is leased from Mrs. Free-
man
by Mr. John Hargreaves. The colliery is under the
management of Mr. John Ellis, who, during the 'past week,
-in consequence of similar catastrophes, had received instruc-
tions from Mr. Hargreaves that in case of the slightest ap-
pearauce of danger the works should be stopped. This
caution was communicated to the firemen, Thomas Smith
,and John Watmough, whose duty it was to examine
the mine every morning previous to the commencement
of work ; the former taking the southern portion, in
which the explOsion occurred, and the latter taking the
northern part, more particularly to regulate the
current of pure air, 'there being comparatively little gas
formed in that direction. Altogether nearly 200 men were
employed in the colliery; and of these about 50 or 60 went
down this morning, about six o'clock, to commence work.
An hour and, a half before that time the two firemen had
descended, and proceeded •to their several departments, to
ascertain whether .or not there, was any dangerous ac-
cumulation of gas. On making his rounds, Smith, whose
duty it was, as already stated, to examine the, southern
workings, foUnd ' the air in the three bottom pillars to
be "in a very dangerous ' condition, upon which he re-
turned to one of- the main air-doors,. a little below
the .pit-eyes, where, the men were waiting for admission,
until he had concluded his examination ; and, explaining
the position °U tile dangerous places, he told the colliers
that none were to go _down that " shunt" with . a naked
light, but they were allowed to go ihto the top workings on
the " brow," where' there was no cause for apprehension.
Leaving his son at that door to warn any who might subse-
quently come down Smith proceeded in a northerly direc-
tion towards the " Old toppul Pits," in order to procure by
, ventilation a current of pure air, and to displace the noxious
vapour which had accumulated during the night. No sooner,
however, had he left the men, than of thein, named
Thomas Gregson, with a recklessnets of consequences peculiar
to his class, passed through the air-door with a naked -candle,
and was followed by four or five others; and after they had
proceeded-eon:re-dietaries downahe brow, many of their com-
rades' encouraged by their assurance, imitated their fool-hardy
example. pge of the workmen, more cautious than the rest,'
rembnstratdorwith them du the peril theywere incurring ; but,
being diaiegarded, he went to the pit shaft, and informed
John Ellis. jilt-3. (woo acted as superintendent in the absence
of his father) of what was taking place, upon which he
immediately hurried down the brdw, where he overtook a
nal:4er of the men,
,whom he ordered to return, .remark=
ing that every man who had disobeyed the fireman's orders
-wou!d be fined ss. Passing them he followed thole who had
gone fire, and whilst, the former were .retracing their steps
to the pit mouth a tremeudous „explosion was heard, fol-
lowed by two others of less violence, which instantly dif-
fused the greatest consternation throughout the mine. Those
who had been commencing work in the side levels hurried
on their clotheN and rtisheA precipitately into the main
road or down brow ; but on reLiching it they were almost:
suffocated by the clouds of dust, and slack which had
been raised by the explosion, in consequence a the dryness
of the mme ; and in the darkne,s and subsequent confusion

Siècle appeared yesterdaye There is nothing of in-
terest in their original columns. The Debate has no
leading article. The , Comtitzdionnel contains an ar-
ticle-on the Minister crisis in Piedmont, approving
of the course followed by t 1 a KING, in retaining Mar-
quis"D'AiEatto in office, 44 accepting the resigns..
tion of M. CAVOUR. The Sympathy expressed by the
latter in favour of M, Ree'reezzi, the leader cf the
Left Centre, now Preside& of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, was a sufficient cause eif alarm, according to the
Constitutionnel,' dor the Conservative party; and in
supportee this view, of tbe matter it quotes the opi-
nion expressed by Count AVIGDOR in a late sitting of
the Chenaher of D-puties, :ten the occasion of certain
queStione ailreest dto the Cebiriet by the Conservatives.
Nor does the financial po!icy of M. Cavoun
meet -withfavour from ..ehe Constitutionnel,
which complains of his freeeleelde tendencies, and
contends that be has done nothing to relieve the
finences'oe the country. e A man (says the Consti-
tutionnel) who cenent be suspected of hostility to the
Cabinet or to M. Cavoun, Count D'Avlnetoa, who
hoe so powerfully contributed to the approval of the
treaty with France. by the Chamber cf Deputies,
made no secret in a late speech of the sacrifices the
Conservative party had made in order to keep M.
CAvoux in office. Welave changed our system of
political economy. (said the (ergot), we have adopted
the free-trade system, and I must say that I, for one,
have supported that system, hate ardently desired
and wished for it. N everOeless, I must frankly avow
that, before we rushed into a ,path so perilous, so
obstructed with difficulties, the Minister ought to
have explained to us what would be the real situation
of the Treasury after all these diminutions of duties.' "
114 the -Constitutionnel concludes with another extract
froth Count D'AVIGDOR'S speech, which it considers a
severe condemnation of M. CAVOUR'S career as Minis-
ter of •Fivancts. The Siècle has no leading article of
the slightest importance. ``
