DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT JARROW.

The explosion took place in the Bensham .Seam
of Jarrow Colliery, and 23 men and 17 boys were
instantly destroyed, anil,evieml others more or less
hurt, some of whom so severely that recovery ii not
expected. The men generally are of the married
class, ome of. whom have left large families. On
Wednesday afternoon the Coroner proceeded 'to in-
vestigate the cause of this dreadful accident by
holding an inquest on' the body of William Hume.
was proved in further particulars of the evidence,
that when the inflammable air was discovered every
precaution was immediately resorted to for rendering
the works perfectly safe. Mr. Buddle visited them
regularly up to Monday week, after which he was
not in them again till after the accident, when on
getting to the face of the east drift, the cause of the
accident was quite manifest. The whole front of
the drift was detached from' the roof on the left
side, as if the block of coal forming the face of the
drift had been detached by ablest of gunpowder.
A ragged aperture of about nine inches wide was
left between the coal and the roof, and a fissure
about the same width torn out on the left hand
side. On probing theee apertures as far as they
could reach (about six feet at that time), they found
nothing but open space behind. It then became
quite clear that the miners had holed into 'an old
waste, and that the fracture was occasioned by the
elastic force of what they termed a bag of foulnesq,
which had been compressed in that species ofnaturiii
gasometer, and which had rushed off in an enormous
quantity, and fired at the first light with which it
came in contact, consuming all the vital air in the
small division beyond the stone drifts, and filling the
workings with a dense smoke and after-damp, and
deranging the ventilating apparatus so much as to
cause the suffocation of the people before the air
.course could be restored. The state of the mine
was so good that they worked with candles, and

HAMBURG MARKETS, Atm. 6.

Boum,: Hat.ot.--The market for Wheat has been in
a state of depression during the greater part of the week;
but during the last few days, holders having consented to
a reduction of price, several purchases were made for ex-
portation. Of best heavy Grain little has been left un-
sold. Front the interior our supplies are, for the moment
inconsiderable, there being but little water in the river.
Our own consumers continue to hold back. Rye conti-
nues heavy, and can be disposed of only to our own con-
sumers, and at redUced prices. Some parcels of this
year
's corn have already been brought into the market,
and have brought from 70 to 75 dollars, For best up_
land Barley, of which our supply is but moderate, there
continues to he a demand for exportation. To Oats the
same remarks apply.—The following table shows the
quantity of Grain imported and exported during the pre-
preceding week, as also the quantity supposed to remain
on hand for sale:—

The estafettes received here sines last Tuesday, particu•
larly from Berlin and Frankfort, brought orders to sell,
and thereby depressed our stock market greatly. Anglo-
Danish have. been alone as low as 62, Anglo-M:ssian at 99,
Polish at 107,' and Austrian Bank Shares at 1156.
The accounts received from Paris to-day and yesterday
induced our bears to cover themselves, and prices rose In
consequence. To-day prices are nearly the same as yes•
terday, with somewhat more of a tendency to a decline,
owing partly to the heavy, foreign accounts to be settled
in the middle and towards the end of this month. A
scarcity of money is also beginning to be felt. Discoun'

It is calculated that there will be at most not
more than nine or ten Roman Catholic Members in the
new parliament, and that of therm the majority will be
returned for places in England.

While the Clerk of the Peace was employed in
delivering the poll-books, an irregular altercation, of
which Mr. H. Sumner was the chief mover, took
place. He addressed Mr. Smallpiece and said, " I
understand you are an agent of Colonel Jolliffe ?"
Mr. Smalipiece answered in the affirmative. " Then
I charge you," said Mr. Sumner, " with having be-
trayed your trust. You have given rise to un-
founded rumours. It was through you that it has
been put about that Colonel Jolliffe has resigned
the contest. By what authority
.have you put about
such a rumour?"

Mr. SMALLPIECE—I did not put about that
rumour.

Mr. 11. SUMNER—But here, Mr. Briscoe's Com-
mittee have printed a handbill, stating, that Colonel
.lolliffe has resigned; and they say they did it on your
authority.
Mr. SMALLPIECE—I had authority for what I
have done.

Mr. 11. SUMNER—Who gave you that authority ?
Mr. SMALLPIECE—I had authority, hut I shall
nottell you whose it was.
Mr. SUMNER—Thin I say you have been false to
your employer. You don't deserve to be agent for
anybody; and I'll never give my vote for anybody
in future that employs you as an agent.
Several Freeho!ders exclaimed that the report
came from Mr. Briscoe's Committee, and that it
was all a tiick.

Mr. SMAILPIECE—I shall give this Court the in-
formation which I gave Mr. Briscoe's Committee—
I say it is not the intention of Colonel Jolliffe to
carry on this contest.
Mr. IL SUMNER—Answer me, Sir, by what
authority you say that?
Mr. SMALLPIECE—I will not answer you that
question.
Mr. H. SUMNER—Then I say you have betrayed
your trust. _ _ _

Mr. SMALLPIECE.-4 repel that imputation.
Mr. SUMNER—You may repel it or not, but you
shall be told the truth, which you are not much in
the habit of hearing.
Mr. DENISON wished distinctly to understand
what were the intentions of Colonel Jolliffe ?
A short conversation here ensued on the Bench,
and the lIIGII SHERIFF was understood to say that
he thought the poll ought to continue open if four,
or five, or some reasonable number of voters polled
every hour.

Mr. YOUNG said that he bad had sufficient au-
thority to announce to Mr. Denison that Colonel
Jollifl'e had resigned.
Mr. H. SumNER said that even Colonel Jo'Weis
authority would not bind him as a freeholder of the
county.

At this moment Mr. Briscoe entered the Court,
and was received with loud cheers.

Mr. [l. SUMNER again asserted, in the presence
of Mr. Briscoe, that there was no authority before
the Court, for the statement of the resignation of
Col. Jolliffe, except the band-bill published by Mr.
Briscoe's Committee.

Mr. H. DRtistmoNo, who had entered the Court
with Mr. Briscoe, and who was not aware of what
had previously taken place, said: Yes, there is au.
thority for it—Mr. Hockley, who is Mr.Briscoe's
agent, wrote to Mr. Briscoe, at Chertsey, last night,
to say that Mr. Smallpiece, who is Col. Jolliffe's
agent, had called on him to state that Col. Jolliffe
had withdrawn from the contest.

Mr. H. SUMNER—BM Mr. Smallpiece refuses to
give his authority for making that statement.
Mr. SMALLPIECH W4S not amenable to Mr. Sum.
ner, or to any other person in. that Court; but only
to Col. Jolliffe, for h►e conduct. He would not
stand there to be called to account by any man.
Mr. SUMNER said that there was no authority on
which the Court could act, and the poll must remain
open.
Some further conversation then ensued, at the end
of which— . _ _

Mr. 11. SUMNER observed, that though Mr. Small-
would not answer questions that were put to him,
perhaps Mr. Briscoe might not be so difficult. He
wished, now that Mr. Briscoe was in Court, to ask
him what was the qualification he possessed in point
of property to entitle him to come forward us a can-
didate to represent this county in Parliament.—(A
loud cry of disapprobation arose at this question.)
Mr. ButscoE was ready to state his qualification
to any freeholder who might demand it.
Mr. It SUMNER, with vehemence—Well, and am
I not a freeholder ?---(flisses, and yells.)
Mr. Iltuscol:—Certainly, I am ready to state my
qualification.
Mr. H. SUMNER—But you must state where it
is situated.—(Yells, and shouts of decision from
every part of the Hall.)
Mr. BiuscoE stated, that the qualification in
property to which he was ready to attest, consisted
of land situated at Chertsey, in this county, and at
Twickenham, in the county of Middlesex.--(Shouts
of triumph mixed with yells at Mr. H. Sumner,
and cries of " Turn out that Sumner." These
were repeated, when Mr. Briscoe, in a marked and
emphatic manner, took the oath prescribed by the
Statute.)
Mr. CARTER announced that Colonel Jolliffe, so
fur as his agents were concerned, had no intention
of further following up the contest.
The HIGH-SnsauFF then gave directions that the
usual proclamation should be made, and that the
poll should close at one o'clock, if the voters of
Colonel Jolliffe did not come up in sufficient numbers
to compel him to keep it open for a longer period.
At one &clock the Court assembled, and

The CLERK of the PEAce, in the name of the
High Simla, proclaimed that the votes for Mr.
Denison were 2,ls9—(Cheers, and cries of
" Bravo !")—for Mr. Briscoe, I,497—(Renewed
vehement cheering)—and for CoL Joilitle, 1,252
(Cheers, laughter, and hisses). He therefore de-
clared the majority of votes to be for Mr. Denison
and Mr. Briscoe, whom the High Sheriff undertook
to return as Members for the county.—(Cheer*.)
Mr. DENIsoN then addressed the freeholders. It
was to him a source of the highest gratification that
those principles, which he had supported when not
as popular and triumphant as at present, were gain.
ing strength in every succeeding year, and by each
suceeding event.—(Cheers.) He need hardly call
to their intention the state of things in a neighbour-
ing kingdom. What had taken place within the last
fortnight there must awaken the consideration of the
most thoughtless, and rouse the most torpid from
their indifference.—(Cheer9 They had seen that
great and gallant people rising as one man egninst
(he wished to speak of misfortune with gentleness)
their weak, infatuated—almost insane Mori:itch, who
vainly thought that at this time of day he could
forge those fetters which 40 years ago seemed to
have been broken fur ever.—(Applause.) He was
sure they would agree with him in paying this proper
testimony of respect to that Olson nation, whose
bravery, great as it was shown to be by an unarmed
population defeating regular troops, was fully
equalled, if not excelled by their moderation, in
victory.—(Cheers.) He hoped most sincerely, that
in future the two nations, not again contending in
arms, would only rival each other in attaining the
pinnacle of honour in this cause of toleration, free-
dom, and knawledge.--(Lond cheering.) He hail
been told that he ought to have said something of
his opinion of the present Ministers. He would do
so in a few words. The country owed a great debt

to the Duke of Wellington, as a military man, for
having broken the chains imposed on Europe by the
military genius of the greatest Captain of the age.
He thought too that the country were under deep
obligations to him for the repeal of the Test and
Corporation Acts, and for what he had done in re-
pealing some taxes and in diminishing the patronage
of the Crown; but he found fault with the Noble
Duke for not going far enough that way. He must
know, or if he did not he was unfit for his place,
that the people were suffering severely from distress,
and that it was his duty to repeal every tax that
pressed on the industry of the country. The friends
with whom he (Mr. Denison) acted adopted that as
their principle. They did not wish to dispossess
the Duke, but to obtain retrenchment, reform,
and economy. They wanted to march with the
spirit of the age. On that point they should find
him as he had ever been for the last twelve years.
—(Cheers.)—He wished for Reform, but not for
Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage; but that
the Septennial Act should be repealed and the 'lroise
of Commons chosen by the people.—(Cheers.) He
would now say a word or two on a subject on
which they were all interested—he meant the Corn
Laws.--(Hear, hear.)—He did not think the pre-
sent mode of taking the averages was good. The
agriculturalist requited - to he protected against the
effect of those taxes, which he paid in greater
amount than his neighbours, but it was not his intess
rest, any more than that of. the manufacturer, to
have corn at a high price.—(Applause.)—How hen
was he to be remunerated ? By the repeal of those
taxes, which disabled all classes from competing with
the foreigner.—(Hear, hear.)—With respect to the
currency, he wanted a circulating medium of firm-
ness and solidity which no alarm should shake, and
which should not fluctuate that no man could tell
whether he might not be a Prince to-day, and a beg-
gar to-morrow. He would do away with the East''
India Company's monopoly, but would not take the
patronage from them to give it to the Crown. It
was better where it was.—(Hear, hear.)—With re-
spect to the state of the law, he thought all men
must admit a reform was wanted there.—( Hear, and
No.)—He wished the gentleman who said " No,"
might enjoy the benefit of a Chancery suit, and he
would then be of a different opinion.—(Hear, hear.)
—He had been engaged in one, and his solicitor tuld
him, that as his opponent was an obstinate man, the
suit would not be finished in the life of either of
them.—(llear.)—He hoped his Hon, and Learned
Friend (Mr. Brougham) would carry forward his
plan for bringing justice home to every man's door.
---(Brougham for ever.)—lt was with these opinions
he was about again to enter Parliament. He sat
down amidst loud and continued cheering.
Mr. BntscoE, on presenting himself to the people,
was received with three rounds of huzzas. If he
had ever before laboured under any difficulty in
addressiog them at any period during his canvass,
his sense of obligation for these continued and re-
peated marks of their kindness and confidence, of
which he trusted he should always he proud, now
much increased it, and it would be no wonder if he
fulled at the present moment, when their kind ex-
ertions had been crowned by success, and when he
enjoyed the high and distinguished honour of being
returned as one of their representatives.—( Loud
cheering.)—He was little able, from the fatigue he
I had experienced, to express his gratitude as he ought,
'or his satisinction at the triumph of those principles
I of purity and independence which he had long and
fondly cherished, and which he would assert with-
out fear of contradiction, were equally felt and ap-
►preciated by the independent electors of Surrey.—
(Cheers.)—They had achieved a glorious victory.
• (" We have.")—They had added fresh dignity
to their own county, and met a noble example to
others.—(Cheers.)—He did not know how better
to evince the sincerity of his principles as to reform
I and retrenchment than by assuring them that he
would from that moment begin by reforming him-
.

self where he needed reform, and by retrenching

any errors and prejudices which needed retrench:
meat. As he had protested against every kind of
sinecure, he promised especially that he would not
regard the representation of the people in that light,
but would devote the best energies of his mind to

their service.—(Cheers.)—Till that moment he had
not been so fully acquainted with the opinions of
their old, tried, and consistent representative, Mr.
Denison ; but he wits happy to find that, though he
did not profess to be of the same party as his col-
league (for he was of nu party), they would be
found to agree most cordially in many vital questions
relating to the honour, prosperity, and happiness of
England.—(Cheers.)—lle did not know at that
moment how to detail his principles, and the lime of
conduct he should adopt, except by referring to his
declarations i❑ print on points which he had maturely
considered. Ile felt the deepest sense of obliga-
tion for their marks of attachment to him and to his
principles. To his latest breath he should remember
t heir►--

" Dum spiritus has regit artus."—(Cheers.)
The proudest day of his life would be that on
which be was so generously returned by the patriot
electors of surrey. They must perceive the state
of exhaustion in which he was, and must pardon
his want of the power of fully expressing his grati-
tude. The Hon. Gentleman retired, evidently much
affected, by the cordial cheers that were again and
again bestowed on him.
Mr. DENISON then, in a short speech, proposed a
vote of thanks of the freeholders to the High
Sheriff, for the strict impartiality, and the very ex-
cellent and dignified manner in which he had dis-
charged his duty, under the very delicate circum-
stances of this election.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Ilmscott said it was customary for the two
Representatives to move and second this vote ; but
if he could not have done so from the bottom of
his heart, he should not have contented himself
with merely formally seconding it ; but be assured
them that in the whole of his experience of public
life, he had never witnessed such an exhibition of
strict integrity, of most pure, honourable, and com-
plete impartiality, us had' been exhibited by the
High Sheriff 00 this occasion. He was indeed truly
entitled to this tribute of their respect.--(Cheers.)
The vote was carried amidst loud cheering.
The Hiatt SHERIFF (Sir W. Jolla', Bart.)

begged to assure them that he was deeply gratified
by their kind consideration, of him on this occasion.
He trusted that the business of the county election
had been conducted to the best of his ability.—
He returned them his sincere and grateful thanks.
The Court was broke up. The Members were
afterwards chaired, and the procession was as gay and
good-humoured us complete success could be ex-
pected to make those who joined in it.
