EXTRAORDINARY FILE.—We have this week
had submitted to our inspection, a file of a very novel and
ingenious description, cut by a workman in the employ of
Messrs. John and Riley Carr. On one side is the name
of the firm, in Roman characters, remarkably well exe-
cuted ; on the reverse, the arms of her Majesty are cut,
surrounded by scroll work, conceived with great taste,
and very sk-lfully executed. The teeth as in a file cut
for use, are bearing to the point and single, not being
crossed in any part, except the quarterings of the Royal
Arms, which makes it the more surprising that so splendid
an effect should be produced by the different inclinations of
the chisel, technically called by the workmen in the trade
over cut and up cut." This ingenious production has
been pronounced by competent judges to be a clad d'ceztvre
of the art. It is intended for the exhibition at Leeds.

THE LATE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—In the
most recent colliery explosion—the calamity at South
Shields—as in many others, the cause is involved in doubt.
The system of ventilation, it appears, was so carefully
carried out in the workings, that the use of candles was
considered safe by both masters and men, and there scents
to have been so little difficulty in remedying the damage
done to the mine, and restoring confidence to the miners,
that operations have been already partially recommenced ;
and it is expected that it will be at full work this day, or
on Monday. The St. Hilda pit, we arc told, is one that
must be worked by blasting, or not at all. The precaution
of the Davy-lamp, therefore, or any safety-lamp, in the
parts where gunpowder is used, is out of the question.
The remedy against accident must be sought in other
means. These means. whatever some persons may think
to the contrary, remain, in our opinion, to be yet disco-
vered. It is easy to say, if a pit cannot be worked without
a peril to human life, let it be abandoned. Such a prin-
ciple of action would bring the world to a stand-still.—

The Berwick Advertiser says that " perhaps no
district in the kingdom of equal population and importance
is worse situated as to communication with the metropolis,
by means of the post, than Berwick and its neighbour-
hood."

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY s.—The
sugar trade is become as dull as we recollect to have seen it ;
all demand appears to have entirely subsided, and, although
our offices are now well supplied with an excellent assort.
ment, and amongst them some lots of very superior quality,
they attract but little attention. Notwithstanding, there is
no disposition on the part of the merchants to give way;
they feel satisfied that the deficiency in the produce of the
West Indies will cause prices to be maintained ; but one
material circumstance is operating to counteract the effect
of any such falling off in the imports : the consumption is
affected by the high prices to an extent that we think has
e.caped general observation ; it amounts in the port of
London alone, during the last three months, to the enor-
mous quantity of 11,200 hhds.—Bristol Mercury.
On Friday evening last, as Mr. K. B. Shawe
and his lady were returning from Henfield to Horsham,
when within not more than three miles of the latter place
they were stopped by three footpads, who took from Mr.
Shawe between twenty and thirty sovereigns and a gold
watch, and from his lady her gold watch and appendages,
and even carried off the cloaks and coats that were in the
phaeton in which Mr. and Mrs. Shawe were riding. A
large reward has been offered for their apprehension, and
it is hoped they will speedily be brought to justice.
