FATAL BOILER _EXPLOSION:

NEWCASTLE ON-TYN E,Wednesday.—A fatal boiler
explosion took place last night at the Byers' Moor
Colliery, situate at a place called Crookgate, about
eight miles west of this ' town. 'l'lle colliery is a
new one, the property of Messrs. Bowes, who have
several coalpits in that locality, and has only been
in operation a few months. The works and boilers
are all new. There were two of the latter, and these
were embedded in brickwork. To enable the reader
to understand the matter we shall designate these
Nos. 1 and 2. No. 1 was undergoing repair, and
No. 2 was in working order, driving the pit engine.
several men were engaged on No. 1 removing a
large plate and inserting a new one in its place,
when at about half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon
the other blew up. Two men were killed, one out-
right, and the second dying in the course of an hour
—a third man was blown into the air, carried a dis-
tance of 50 yards, and fell into an adjacent field.
Two other men were seriously scalded and bruised,
but hopes of their recovery are entertained. The
exploded boiler was shattered into four pieces, three
of these forming the sides, and the end, were carried
in westerly direction, the first dropping to the earth
about 60 yards' distance, a second about 80,and the
third a little further off still. At a distance of 140
or 150 yards from where the boiler exploded there
lies a massive iron ball, 601 b weight, which had
been attached to the boiler as "a damper," but
which in the first shock became detached and flew
through the air like a rocket. The fire-end, or
"egg-end" of the boiler (called by the latter name)
was propelled in another direction, alighting in a
field to the north-east of the engine house, a dis-
tance of 100 yards. The second boiler was dis-
placed by the concussion, and the shower of bricks,
stones, mortar, &c., which ascended with the boiler
in falling again covered the adjacent fields. The
medical officer of the colliery and two assistants
reached the scene of disaster with great prompti-
tude, and all that their skill could suggest was ex-
ecuted for the relief of the sufferers. The boilers
were 46ft long by sft 3in diameter, were built by
the well-known firm, Messrs. Palmer, of Jarrow,
and were of the ordinary thickness, 3-Bths of an
inch. They were brought into use on the 17th of
October last. The cause of the accident is quite a
mystery at present. The names of the killed are
James Hunter, residing at Burnopfleld, aged 40 ;
leaves a wife and four children ; John Robson, 23,
was only married a month ago. John Barrett is
the name of the man who was carried into the air,
and of whom no hopes of recovery are entertained.
The names of the other two men are Thos. Brown
and John Wheatley. We ascertained that the boiler
was all right to appearance only a few minutes be-
fore the explosion, and for that reason the officials
are unable to assign any cause for the explosion,

POLICE--7.THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER.

CAUTIOI,Z TO BiLitxtEN.—Margaret Sl:amain, a woman
about PAS, years of age, w•as charged with being drunk and
creating a disturbance at the Fulhtim Bridge Tavern,
Brompton-row.

A barman at the house named stated that the defendant
entered it last Saturday night and called for a glass of gin,
with which he served her. Shot tly she fell into conversa-
tion with a man who was there, and having quarrelled with
him slapped his face and created a great disturbance. She
was requested to leave, but refused, and Mr. Bell, the pro-
prietor, removed her from the house, but she had no sooner
been put out at one door than sbe entered by another, and
seizing a half pint pot threw it at the landlord, and it
broke four panes of glass. She was the worse for drink
when she came in.

Mr, Arnold—l have received a letter from Mr. Bell, in
which he wishes me to sharply reprimand the defendant,
and upon that expresses his desire to withdraw this
charge.
Barman—Yes, he does; he is unable to attend himsel
to request it, as he has to go to a funeral this morning.
Mr. Arnold--You say that she was the worse for liquor
when she came in, and yet you served her with some gin.
Mr. Bell's letter, requesting a lenient consideration of the
defendant's case, assigns as a reason that she has fc,ur
young children, and was the worse for drink. Surely the
conduct of the barman, who served this woman, seeing her
the worse for drink, was very reprehensible, and calculated
to get his employer into trouble, as a publican is liable to a
penalty for serving a person in such a condition, and added
to this the very misconduct complained of was probably
caused by her being improperly served with more drink.
Defendant—l am very sorry.
Mr. Arnold—You must enter into your own recogni.
zances to keep the peace for three months.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
- FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF

,1 FE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is tour weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
he medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Rioord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
gructioos for use, at lie., or four quantities in one for 335.,

MITE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
r FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
r.IFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is tour weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
he medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Pr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
gructions for use, at lls., or four quantities in one for 335.,
end will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,

♦isable to do so, or that good would grow out of it.
Mr. Dayton presumed that the expression of such
a wish would be but an offer of mediation in another
form.

M. Thouvenel said, if there were any word that
could express less than mediation, that word should
be used in its place.

Mr. Dayton then asked M..Thouvenel, if his offer
or suggestion were refused, what would be the con-
sequence ? _

M. Thouvenel replied—Nothing. America and
France would remain friends. He said the recog-
nition of the South would not follow the refusal by
America to accept mediation, but everything would
remain as before.

Mr. Dayton said that America would regard the
acknowledgment of the South as a form of inter-

vention.

M. Thouvenel assented, saying they did not
think of in any way intruding into American affairs,
or intervening in any form. Their intent would be
comprised in the expression of a wish to be useful,
if it could be done with the consent of both parties.
The Emperor was still disposed to act the part of
friend between North and South, if they should
mutually request, and nothing more, except that
the calamitous civil war had increased and
strengthened that wish on the Emperor's part.
Mr. Dayton, unofficially, informed M. Thouvenel
that such an offer, if ever made, would come to
nothing.

MEXICO.

NEW YORK, DEC. 11.

Advices received here from Vera Cruz to the Ist
instant state that a large number of towns had de-
clared in favour of the French intervention. It was
said that Juarez intended posting himself at Tlas-
calla, to oppose the French advance on the capital
by way of Piedras Negras. If the French succeed
in capturing Puebla, the sluices which now contain
the waters of the lakes round Mexico were to be
opened, in order to flood the city. Marquez had
occupied Galchinda in the name of the French. The
latter had occupied Jalapa and Alvarado. Juarez
had issued a proclamation declaring that the penalty
of death would be inflicted on all who carried des-
patches to or from the French army.

All communication with the interior and the coast
was virtually cut off,
An attempt to get up a demonstration at Tlas-
calla in favour of Juarez resulted in the inhabitants
crying, " Vive lee Frabgais."

Since the close of the public sales of colonial wool, the
demand for home-grown qualities has continued restricted,
nevertheless prices have been supported. In colonial and
foreign wool very little has been done, on former terms.

WESTMINSTER.

CAUTION TO B.A.nmEN.—Margaret Sharmain, a woman.
about :30 years- of age, was charged with being dzunk and
creating a disturbance at the Fulham Bridge Tavern,
Browptou-row.

A barman at the house named stated that the defendant
entered it last Saturilay night end called for a glass of gin,
with which he served her. Shortly she fell into conversa-
tion with a man who was there, and having quarrelled with
him slapped his face and created a great disturbance. She
was requested to leave, but refused, and Mr. Bell, the pro-
prietor, removed her from the house, but she had no sooner
been put out at one door than she entered by another, and
seizing a half pint pot threw it at the landlord, and it
broke four panes of glass. She was the worse tor drink
when she came in.

Mr. Arnold—l have received a letter from Mr. Bell, in
which he wishes me to sharply reprimand the defendant,
and upon that expresses his desire to withdraw this
charge.

Barman—Yes, he does; he is unable to attend himsel
to request it, as he has to go to a funeral this morning.
Mr. Arnold—You say that she was the worse for liquor
when she came in, and yet you ,erved her with some gin.
➢lr. Bell's letter, requesting a lenient consideration of the
defendant's case, assigns as a reason that she has four
young children, and was the worse for drink. Surely the
conduct of the barman, who served this woman, seeing her
the worse for drink, was very reprehensible, and calculate)
to gel; his employer into trouble, as -a pub:Lan is liable to a
penalty for serving a person in such a condition, and added
to this the very misconduct complained of was probably
caused by her being improperly served with more drink.
Defendant—l am very sorry.
Mr. Arnold—You must enter into your own recogni-
zances to keep the peace for three months.
