a pawnbrokez's shop tells us something—a god

poverished gentility does not pledge the same kind of art,'
ties as vulgar poverty. The articles in the window, it ,
true, are not pledges, for they must not be ticketed for Sale
until they cease to be pledges altogether; but still WI
show on what sort of articles money has been lent, at 001:a
time and in some way or other. The gold watches, g°_
jewellery, articles of luxe and vertu, !cc., tell of monetary
difficulties which have befallen those who would dread t° 0

INUNDATION OF A MINE.--A dreadful accideo
took place on Tuesday at the Spitalwell Iranian!:
Mine, belonging to Ms. Barrow, near the Chestedle4
cemetery. About three o'clock in the afternoon of TO;
day the men in the bo, torn rake perceived water hretil/i.fit°
in near the bottom of the pit, anu John Turton, the ilud—;
viewer, ran to the place and called to the miners to 001110/
out. In consequence of the warning a great- number
the men proceeded up the incline to au old shaft on theop
to
of Hadyhill, where tuey got out and went home. /'OO
water rose immediately tour or five feet in front of til°,l
who remained in the bottom rake. Turton, who e/°°to
in the water up to the armpits, called upon theD3
swim through it, but they replied that they ee
not swim, and they were thus lett in the pit. As see° to
the water was seen several miners rushed through it °Pot
their middle in water, and escaped through the incline of
the top rake. A miner named Taylor stripped himself °t.
clothes and left them in the jenny gate, courageously 13scli,too
wing through the water, and very narrowly escaping 1/‘,O

telegraphed tor, and he arrived on the works to direct dito
rations for the removal of the water. It had risen ill to

which the men could be got out mas by lifting the w'loo
from the bottom of the shaft. As it S 1 as a drawing 81

in which the water could be lifted was by tubs. °De

adopt this method of saving their lives. The gibe
danger to be feared from the rising of the water
mine was that it should reach the roof of the foe
at the bottom of the shalt, and thus cut off the ventilaP
leaving the men nothing but impure air to breathe: 0i
rather only such a quantity of pure air might be coat° 00
in the level at the time the ventilation was cut off by
influx of the water. Up to 3 o'clock yesterday morn/t4OO
water continued to rise in the mine, but from 8 30 it be7ol,
