SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIGHT.—This morning
shocking and fatal accident was discovered to have taken
place on board the Clipper, belonging to Falmouth, a
vessel, that after delivering a cargo of oil at Hull, from
the Mediterranean, came round here to load coals. Two
seamen and a boy, the foremast men, had filled a pan
full of burning coal, and placed it in the forecastle,
where they slept, to warm it. The master, for fear they
would set fire to the ship, ordered them to extinguish
it before they turned in, but they had neglected to do
so. When the hatch was closed there was no mode of
egress for the smoke from the fir©, and on the mate
this morning, about seven o'clock, proceeded to
knock the hands up, he got no answer, and,
fearing something was the matter, took off the
hatch and went below. He discovered the boy, John
Porter, dead, and the two men lying, he could not tell
whether alive or dead. He immediately gave the alarm,
and the master ascertaining what was the matter, sent off
for assistance, and the men were brought on deck. Two
medical gentlemen were soon on board, and every effort
was made to save the lives of the two poor fellows that
were alive. They were taken by the police boat to the.
station, and from thence to the Lord Nelson public-
house, where every attention was paid to them. Very
great doubts were expressed of their recovery, but this
evening the medical men were very sanguine of fetching
them about. The name of the master of the vessel is
Henry W i
hitburn; one of the seamen is named James
Dotley, the Christian name of the other is Stephen, but
his surname is not known. This is the second case of
suffocation on board ship in the Tyne, caused by burning
coals in the forecastle without a funnel to let away the
smoke.

solution : earnestly and
anxiously do we asses will exhibit mutual
forbearance And consideration. Modifications must come ;
but pending
the decision of them, let us all, whether work-
man or master, endeavour to di charge faithfully those obli-
gations which our present position obviously involves—those
obligations which reason, justice, kindliness, and charity,
make immutable. What we want is a movement for educa-
tional and social pr ogre6s—a union of masters and men for
mutual advantage, not the union of class against class.
