BETWEEN TUIR litu'afpnrco FOE.
CANTERBURY.

Hon. G.' Smythe, M.P., and 'Colonel Romilly, Isf.P.."
are published by desire of Mr. Bernal Osborne, captain
Vivian, and Mr. Forteacne:—
Thursday, May 29, 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 rnpori litrAmythe, for the pnr-
pose of requesting an explanation of some expressions re-
flecting upon Colonel Romilly, in a speech of Mr. Smythe's,
as reported in the Morning Chronicle of May 19, 1852, such
expressions being considered by Colonel Romilly to exceed
the fair license of a political contest, was referred by Mr,
SmYtlie to the Hon. Captain Vivian, who, on the part of
Mr. Smythe; at once acknowledged the entire correctness.
of the report of Mr. Smythe'espeech in the Morning Chroni-
cle pf May 19.
Mr. Oaborne, On the part of Colonel Romilly, difklaimed
the allegation -that,Colonel Romilly' had entered into any
calla!, or made use of any-unfair means, for the parposo' of
dujuring Mr. Smythe in We opinions of the electors of Can-
terbury ;, and •thrthea4 denied that any coalition had ever
existed, between Mr. Smythe and C donel Romilly; or that
he made any-personal application soliciting Mr. Smythe for
support in the election of 1850. In accordance-with -this
statement, Mr. Osborne called upon Captain Vivian to with-
draw the offensive (xpresqions piestion. ,
Captain ViVian, on the part of. Mr." Smythe, declined to
acceprany such disclaimer of Colonel Th)tnilly's intentions
as not being, in Mr. Smythe's, view, borne out by the facts
of, the case; tad maintsined-that"Colonel Romilly not only
accepted liir.Sinythe's support at the election of 1850, • bat
personally thanked Mr. Smythe for his exertions and interest
is his behalf -

Captain Vivian, being • under the impression that Mr.
Smythe tad been treated with Systematic unfairness through
the entire proceeding, declined to withdraw the offensive ex-
nressfens complained of by Mr. Osberne.
In consequence of which, a hostile meeting took place be-
tween Mr. Smythe inlet Colonel ilomilly this morning, when,
after an interchange of 'shots, Colonel Itomilly having,
through his second, the• Hon. John FortEscue, ALP., cleclaied
himself satisfied, the parties left the ground.

• FEARFUL CGLLIERF EXPLOSION-.
TRIRTY-:TWO 'LIVES LOST.

PRESTON, THUMDAY EVENlN6.—lntelligence reached
this town at noon to-day, of a most disastrous colliery explo-
sion in the township of Ooppul, 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 Ohorley, 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,
is consequence of similar catastrophes, had received instruc-
tions from Mr. Hargreaves That in case of the slightest ap-
pearance 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
ferm-ed 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 to half lehfere that. tithe 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 hie rounds, 'Smith, *hose
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 examinetim ; and,. explaining
the position of the dangerous places, he told the colliers
that none were to go down that " shunt" with a nekede
light, but they were allowed to go into the top workings on
the " brow," where there was no cause for appiehension.
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 Coppul 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, bad he left the men, than one of them, named
Thomas Gregson, with a recklessness of consequences peculiar
to his ChM, passed through the air-door with a naked candle,
and was followed by four or five others; and after they had
prodeeded some distance down the brow, many of their com-
rades, encouraged by their assurance,lmitated their fool-hardy
example. One of the workmen, more cautious than the rest,
remonstrated with them on the peril they were incurring; but.,
being disregarded, he went to the pit shaft, and ieformed
John Ellis, elm. (who acted as superintendent in the absence
of his father) of what was taking place, upon which he
immediately hurried down the brow, where he overtcok
number of the men, whom he ordered to return, remark-
ing that every man who had disobeyed the fireman's orders
wouel be fined ss. Passing them he followed those who bad
gone 'first, and whilst the former were retracing their steps
to the pit mouth a tremendous explosion was heard, fol-
lowed by two others of less violence, which instantly dif-
fused the greatest consternation throughout the mine. Thete
who had beau commencing; work in the side levels hurried
on their clothes and nestled precipitately into the main
road or down -brow e but on reaebmk it they were almost
sufeocated by the clouds cf dust and slack which had.
,been raised
.by the explosion, iu consequence of' the dryness
of the mine'; and in the darkee,s and subsequent contusion
menv of them Mistook their way, and instead of going to-
wards the pure air at the pit's eye, they went in an- oppo-
site direction, and were met by the after-damp, which com-
pletely overpowered them. Nor did those who had taken
the right (Erection fare better than their companions, for
the deadly current pressed on them with. lightning speed,
and nearly, the whole of teem were thrown to the ground in
a state of all but insense)ility.
