INUNDATION OF A MINE,--A dreadful acvnided

viewer, ran to the place and called to the miners to Or of

the men proceeded up the incline to au old shaft on Woe

water rose immediately four or five feet in front of tiod
who remained in the bottom rake. Turton, who
nisto
in the water up to the armpits, called upon th.e'.ool6l
swim through it, but they replied that they en
not swim, and they were thus left in the pit. As W." to
the water was seen several miners rushed through it

their middle in water, and escaped through the
the top rake. A miner named Taylor stripped himself ,c)its•
clothes and.left them in the jenny gate, courageouslit3-01$

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Emirs° this day, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 66.35, Finn.
The market for the English Funds has continued
quiet, and very little variation has occurred. Owing,
however, to speculative purchases, a rise of I per
cent, has taken place, Consols being 91 a for
money, and 91' 1 fur the account. The downward
tendency of the rate of discount induces more con.
fidence, but operators are not disposed to enlarge
their engagements in this department of the House.
The New Threes and Reduc9d Annuities are 89 ZI
and India 5 per Cents.„ 1041 1.
The Foreign Market opened with a very firm
appearance, and a general rise took place in prices,
but a partial relapse has since occurred. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 74 71 ; ditto Consolides
536 54 ; Mexican, 45!s ; Greek, 241 ; Spanish
Passive, 366 ; ditto Certificates, 131 14

more animated, and prices have exhibited au
advance, Great Northern A Stock has improved

The Sheffield Telegraph of yesterday says the
coLduct of those in authority has been, during the
whole of this melancholy business, in the highest
degree satisfactory. Everything has been done to
assist in recovering the bodies of the missing and to
provide for the wants of those who have been left
in destitute circumstances. Some dissatisfaction
has been expressed in consequence of the coroner
not bolding the inquest on a large number of Indies,
but we understand that Sir George Grey has inti-
mated that be entirely approves of the course which
the coroner has taken. The Horne Secretary leaves
the inquiry entirely to tha coroner's discretion, and
expresses his hope that• it will be a fall and com-
plete one.

THE STEAM RAMS,

JUDGES' CHAMBERS—MARCH 16.
(Before Mr. Justice Mellor.)

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LAIRD AND OTHERS-THE

STEAM RAMS.

In this case a comuiir,si had been ordered tor the exa-
mination of witnesses in Egypt, including the Pacha of
Egypt, and the parties came before his lordship on the ques-
tion whether the evidence was to be taken viva voce or by
interrogatories.

Mr. T. Junes, on the part of the Attorney-General, said
the eviaence must be given viva voce, and not by interro-
gatories.

Mr. Justice Mellor said it was his intention that the evi-
dence should be given viva voce, or he should not have or-
dered a statement of facts to he given by the Crown to the
other side before the commission was sent.
Mr. Le Riche, from tLe office of Messrs. Gregory and
Rowcliffr, said if the commission was abandoned Messrs.
Laird would consent to the trial at Liverpool in the present
assizes.

Mr. Cottrell, for the French claimants, said the arrange••
ment was that interrogatories should be put to the witnesses.
His Lordship requested the parties to settle the terms of
the commission. As to the order to examine the Pasha of
Egypt, although his name appeared, one of his Ministers
could give the evidence.

The parties retired, but could not arrange. They went
before his lordship again, and interrogatories were insisted
upon.

His Lordship said he had never intended interrogatories,
and must by his original intention.
After some discussion it was settled that the evidence
would be viva vox, and that the Attoiney• General was to
give a statement of the facts in fire days from the present
time. The evidence to be closed by the 30th April.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL, vi whimsical little anec-
dote relates, recently entered the study of the Emperor,
and, putting on a grave face, said, " The Schleswig-Hol-
stein question is dangerous." The Emperor having ques-
tioned the boy as to how ho came to the conclusion, was
informed that he had just read it in a newspaper.
