Shocking Accident at a Colliery,

On Thursday morning., about half-past 11, an
alarm was given that water had broken into the
alai), one of the Coleorton pits, the property of
Messrs. Worswick and Walker. The men ruled
to the pit's mouth, and many were drawn up. Un-
fortunately the rapid rush of the water prevented
all from reaching the spot, and six me❑ are known
to have perished. How many more are lest i• is at
the present impossible to tell, as the toll has not been
called over. it appears that about three o'clock in
the morning water was perceived coming through
a side of one of the stalls in the workings, and be-
tween six and seven it was increasing so that several
of the men refused to go to work, but upon an as-
surance being given that all was safe, and that, if
it increased, a❑ alarm would be immediately given
all went to work. One poor fellow, J. Rose, a car.
penter, of Belton, who has lost his life, was sent
down to plug the holes through which the water
was flowing, but about half past 11 the siding gave
way, and the water rushed in with the greatest im-
petuosity. Fortunately there was a reservoir which
received a large quantity of the water before reach-
ing the bottom of the shaft, which gave most of the
men time to ascend before it was upon them.
Six men, as far as can be ascertained, were un-
able to reach the coveted spot, and were over.
whelmed in the relentless torrent. Their names
are Jeremiah Rose, of Belton, carpenter, who
leaves a wife and six children ; Francis Doman,
of Coleorton Moor, leaves a wife and two
two children; Thomas Bird, foreman (or as he is
called corporal) over the boys, Sze., leaves a wife and
nine children; Thomas Bird, nephew to the above,
aged 20, single ; G. Marsden, aged 15 ; and H.
Clements, aged 12. All the horses, 26 in number,
were drowned. An alarm was immediately given
to the California pit, between which and this there
is a communication, and the men and boys were
immediately drawn up without further accident,
there being large reservoirs between the pits which
checked for a time the progress of the water. An
attempt was then made to get the horses oat of this
pit, which was partially successful, but the water
made such rapid progress that three horses were
obliged to be left, making in all 29 horses. When
the last was drawn up the water could be seen
down the shaft seething and foaming like a whirl-
pool. There were many narrow escapes among those
that escaped. One poor bruised fellow said that on
the alarm being given himself and son ran for their
lives ; his lamp went out directly, and they were
left in total darkness. They ran on, striking their
heads every now and then against projecting coal,
and hearing the:rushing of the water behind them,
which did not seem more than two yards off. They
ran on, and were all but exhausted before they got
to the shaft. He was pushed on by his son, whom
he repeatedly told it was no use, as he could go no
further. There were upwards of 200 men and boys
in the two pits at the time of the accident.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

-..---

The will of the Most Honourable Constantine
Henry Phipps, Marquis of Normanby K.G., G.C.B.
G.C.H., P.C., F.S.A., of Mulgrave Castle, York-
shire, and Hamilton Lodge, Queen's-gate, London,
was proved in her Majesty's Court of Pro-
bate on the 23d of September by his relict, the
Marchioness of Normanby, power being reserved to
the Hon. Adolphus Liddell, one of the executors,
the Hon. Edmund Phipps (the brother-in-law), also
an executor, having died previous to the testator.
The personal property was sworn under £25,000.
His lordship descended from Sir Constantine
Phipps, Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1710, and has
held the following appointments :—Governor of
Jamaica, 1832; Lord Privy Seal, 1834 ; Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Ireland, 1835-9; Secretary for the Colo-
nies, 1839 ; and for the Home Department,
1839 to 1841 ; Ambassador at Paris, 1846-51 ;
Minister at Florence, 1852-8. His lordship died
at the ago of sixty-six, having executed his will
in 1857, by which he confirms the settlement of the
jointure on the Marchioness, his relict, to whom
he leaves (with the exception of a legacy to his
executor) the whole of his property, real and
personal,over which he had the power of disposition.
He also by will confirms the settlement made on
the marriage of his son and only child, George
Augustus Constantine, heretofore Earl of Mulgrave,
now Marquis of .Normanby.—The will of Admiral
Sir John Louis, Bart., of the British navy, late of
Eaton-place, was proved in London by his son-in-
law, Rear-Admiral Robert Spencer Robinson,
Comptroller of the Navy, power being reserved to
Sir Edward Strachey, Bart., the executors and
trustees nominated in the will, which was executed
February sth, 1863, a month prior to the decease.
The gallant Admiral died possessed of both real and
personal property, and has devised to his daughter
his mansion, Cadwell-house, near Torquay, with the
land adjacent thereto, and has also bequeathed to
her all his personal estate for her own absolute use
and benefit. The will of William APlcab, Esq., of
Ware, Hertfordshire, surgeon, was proved in Lon-
don,underl23o,ooo personal property—the executors
and trustees appointed being his wife, Mrs. Harriet
MiNab ; his brother, Daniel Robert M'Nab, Esq.,
of Epping, surgeon ; Joseph Thomas Humphrey,
Esq., of New-square, Lincoln's-inn, barrister-at-

March,lB62; and a third codicil in January, 1863.
He bequeaths to his wife a life interest in the bulk 1
of his property, bequeathing to his daughter a
liberal annuity and the right of presentation to the
advowson of Great Amwell; and, upon the decease
of his relict, he leaves the whole of his property to
his said daughter Harriet, wife of the Rev. Richard
Parrott, 8.A., domestic chaplain to the Earl of
Lisburne.—lllustrated London News.

SELKIRK, the original of De Foe's
SELKIRK,
noble creation of " Robinson Crusoe."—A Scotch
warehouseman of the nano of Hutchinson, in Warwick-
street, Regent-street, has recently come into possession of
the two Selkirk relics, the cup and the chest. The former,
which is made of a cocoa-nut, rudely carved, was put upon
a stalk and mounted with silver by Sir Walter Scott, and
so almost loses its identity and interest ; but the latter is a
curiously-dovetailed piece of ingenious workmanship by the
monarch of all he surveyed." These relics, up to the
present time, have been in the possession of Selkirk's de-
scendants in Largo, Fifeshire, where ho was born.
THE VOLUNTEERS AS JURYMEN,—A novel point
was raised before the Kent county magistrates at
Bromley on Monday as to whether a person holding a com-
mission as an officer in a Volunteer Rifle Corps was exempt
from serving as a juryman at the county sessions and
assizes. It appears that the name of a lieutenant of one of
the local corps had been omitted from the jury list, and the
overseer, on being questioned, said that exception had been
claimed, and the omission made by him, on account of the
gentleman referred to holding a commission, as stated. On
referring to the list it was ascertained that the name of the
commanding officer of the same company was inserted, and
Colonel Lenuard, one of the bench of magistrate, baying
remarked that he, although colonel of a Militia regiment,
would not be exempt, the name of the lieutenant was
ordered to be placed on the list.
TRIAL OF NEW LlFEBOATS.—Yesterday some har-
bour trials were made in the Regent's Canal Dock,
Limehouse, with two new lifeboats belonging to the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution. 'There were present--Mr. T.
Chapman, F.R.S., Sir E. Perrott, Capt. De St. Croix, Mr.
R. Lewis, Mr. W. 11, Harton, Capt. D, Robertson, R.N.,
and several other gentlemen. Both boats underwent the
usual trials, of self-righting and self-ejecting the water, of
the craft of the National Lifeboat Institution. One of the
boats, which is 33 feet long and rows ten oars, double
banked, is intended for Teigninauch, Devon, to replace an
old and inferior boat there. She is an experimental boat,
