ATIII9, DECEUREB 2, 1848.
We look upon this book as a national blegsing. Who has not
found the use of it? who.has not tormi.l the information it contains
to profitable account? It is 110,V is the jubilee rear of its existence,
and, if possible, is more comp °le in its details than any of its pre-
decessors. Its amplitude and correctness ire marvellous ; and that
they are duly appreciated we need no better proof than the fact of
the übiquity of its presence. Go'whero Yoa will you are sure to
meet it. It is impossible to live a week in London without feeling
the want of such-a work.

riII E TOWER GUNS;
OR. THE MOTION OF THE MONSTERS.
Again imagination leads her aid,
In kind sug_ estrous to the bard of trade ;
And um'er her instruct:ons I describe
A recant meeting of the cannon tribe.
You'll understand that at a certain hour,
I trode the purlieus of our ancient Tower;
is.' hen rerange to tell, the subjects of toy ditty,
Were holding a discussion in coa;mittee.- •
Vest numbers of the Guns were here assembled,
AIM as they spoke the f tr-titme I fortress trembled.
So down I sat, and down I took the speeches,
And underneath you'll understand what eachls.
" I rise," said Fulminator, "with a no.iou •
Of cant.; notice to a special motion ;
Nor will your mighty Guushirs take amiss
My well-meant proposition—which is this :
That Messrs. 110 s ES' Mart of wide repute
Be duly honoured with a grand salute.'
I'm sure," said he, " en looking at their
CLOTHES,
You'll acquiesce in what I now propose.
Yes, brother inmates of this noted garri,on,
MO:SES you know are far beyond corn.'arison.
All who beholl the articles admit
The beauty of their style, and make, and fit."
"Just so," said Tiv.nderbolt, "you've rightly roc' oned,
And willingly your motion Mill I second.
The Mart at which I m pointing with my muzzle,
To competitton is a downright euzzle.
THE HA rs OF MOSES
In the way they suit,
Are equally deserving a salute.
These valued tiles are such as no one shuns,
So get your touch-holes ready, brother Guns."
" I beg," said Fury," to support the motion, •
For I have °fun entertained the notion.
And when I see the worth of
MOSES' BOOTS,
I think they merit flf y -rand salutes.
The Boots and Shoes of MOSES, firmly wrought,
Cause, like the Tower Shins, a good report."
" That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow,
"The Mart of MOSES never had its fellow;
And this, you know, applies to
MOSES' FUR,
So, fire away, and make a glorious stir."
" Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your noses,
And don't for-TA
VIE HOSIERY OF MO :ES. •
You know the Hosiery is good and cheap,
Give it a sally, boys, let no one sleep."
The motion being put, at once was carried.
And I to see the-issue, gladly tarried.
The tiring soon commenced, when all around,
The City echoed with the moving sound ;
And while the Guns in grand salutes were firing,
Thousands at MO;ES' Warehouse were attiring ;
And often was the observation made—
That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.
E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
'heir low lists of outfits, commencing' (including every necessary) at

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of' mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how matey could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the erolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise prufessea to dilate,
productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology
•of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. it deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
so of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the Collie:, of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
,nedical man who can show by hie possession of the requisite legal
lualificatione that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
,ional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LL'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
tuarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE

COLLIERS KILLED NEAR BARNSLEY.

WORSD3O' DALE, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The ad-
journed inquest commenced at eleven o'clock this
(Saturday) morning. The first witness called was
Mr. Charles Locke, colliery agent (brother to Mr.
Locke, M.P. for lloniton), who said—On the 10th of
January instant I, along with Mr. T. D. Jeffcock, of
Sheffield, a colliery-viewer and engineer, went into
and examined the Darley Main Colliery. We ex -
amined the workings as we went along, and found them,
in my opinion, perfectly safe. The ventilation was
very good indeed. I went down into the pit again
on Thursday morning last, the morning after the
explosion, about three o'clock, accompanied by
George Porter Mad.dison, a colliery-engineer, and a
number of miners. I observed that several of the
stoppings and doors had been blown down. In the
explosion 75 persons, whose bodies had been identi-
fied, were killed. I considered the pit W. 1.5 well
ventilated. It was considered so sage that the men
worked with naked candles. In search of the holies
we used a Davy lamp. There may have been some
accumulations of gas in the old workings. In my
opinion, the recent high winds have checked the
ventilation of the mine, and thus caused the explo-
sion. I cannot blame any one. I consider it was
purely an accident, arising from circumstances un-
known. lam not aware that there has been the least
unpleasantness between the owner of the colliery, or
their superintendents, and the men.
James Beaumcnt, colliery agent to Messrs. Field,
Cooper, and Co, of Woodthorpe Colliery, detailed the
exertions made to rescue the sufferers, and the finding
of many alive or dead. lie thought the explosion
had been partly caused by the late prevalent high
winds. Had not heard any one blamed. Witness
made some suggestions as to the mode of improving
the ventilation of the pit. If this had been done
before, and the t xplosion had occurred, there would
not have been so many killed.

George Porter MAdison, coal agent fur Messrs.
Field, Cooper, and Co.—From what I have seen, I
think the explosion took place in the extreme east or
dip work, near to the throw. I think it has not been
a sudden explosion. The men are so severely burnt
along the whole workings that it must have been
more a hanging or slow spreading fire than a sudden
blast. It has not occurred in one portion of the pit
only, but in three distinct portions of the workings.
It has done extremely little damage to the pit, com-
pared with the severity of the burning on the men
and boys. I should say that the primary cause was
the prevalent high winds ; for I find in this district
that the thick bed coal generates a snore highly car-
buretted hydrogen than in other mines in the north
which I am acquainted with. The carbon being
much heavier than hydrogen, I have no doubt that
the carbon is in a measure separated from the hydro-
gen, thereby causing the carbon to be more in the
current of the air than the hydrogen. So soon as
the carbon leaves, the hydrogen will lodge in the
old breaks of the superincumbent strata. I cannot
say that the explosion was caused by any neglect. I
consider it has occurred from accidental circum-
stances. I could not blame any one.
James Hammond, of Logwood, Worsbro' Dale, a
collier employed at Dailey Main Colliery —I was
working in the pit at the bottom of the dip board-
gate, on Wednesday, when the explosion took place.
Thompson, the underground steward, went round
that morning into all the workings, to see that all
was right. When I got to my place to work that
(Wednesday) morning, there was a shovel put in the
hurry road. The shovel being put there was a sign
for us to keep our candles low. It was the duty of
Thompson to put the shovel there as a caution to us.
The sulphur had been lodging in some of the old
breaks for some time. Thompson knew as well as
the men that the sulphur had collected in the old
breaks and in the holes. Thompson was in power to
see that the places were right. I considered him a
competent man for his situation. He had been round
once that morning to examine the workings, and was
in our board-gate, going round a second time, when
it happened. I think he could not have apprehended
that there was any danger.
By the CORONER —Whom do you blame for the
explosion ? Witness—l blame both Thompson and
George Addey, the underground managers.
What for ?—For letting the men work in place,
which were not fit to work in. They were put in
power to see that the men did not work in places
which were not fit.

Do not you think that the fact of their both going
in these places themselves shows that they thought
they were fit for the men to work in ?—Yes, but it
has got so bad that it could not be fit fur us to work.
Some of the men would have spoke about it, but
they were afraid of losing their work.
Why did you not stop out of the pit if it was in this
state ?—Well, I have heard the men talk about it.
I cannot take as evidence anything that you
have heard. Did you ever apprehend any danger ?--
I did.

It does appear to me very odd that if you thought
there was danger to be apprehended, you should still
go to your work in the pir. What do you think was
the cause of the explosion ?—lt has been done through
taking away all the coal before them, and throwing
it all dead behind, so that the wind could not get
down behind them.

Do you mean to say that the late high winds have
not had to do with the accident ?—lt may have had
something to do with it, but it has been through sul-
phur lying in the works. _ _

_
What has made it lie there ?—Because no current
of air could get to it to carry it away.
Who do you think is to blame with regard to the
explosion ?—I blame no one in regard to it.
It seems very odd to me that you should first say
one thing and then another. Might not the explosion
have happened if there had been the greatest care,
and without anybody being to blame ?—Yes, it
might.

Do you think it had been wilfully or negligently
done ?—No.

Do you say it has been accident ?—Yes.
The witness, in answer to a juryman, said that the
men were getting pillars out of the old workings
with naked candles, when the explosion took place.
The CORONER then read a letter which had been
received from Sir Georgo Grey, the Home Secretary,
in answer to a communication from the magistrates
at Barnsley, in which Sir George Grey stated that
if it was their opinion that the presence of some
person on the part of the Government to watch the
proceedings was necessary, the Government would
send one.

After some conversation between the coroner and.
the jury, the conclusion was that the coroner should_
apply to the Government to send down an inspector.
John Harper, collier—l was working down the,
dip-hoard on Wednesday last, when the explosion:
took place. I was not hurt. None of the men are
to blame for the explosion. I was working when the
explosion took place. We were all working with
naked candles. We considered it safe where we
were. I think it was an accident. No man set it
on fire wilfully. Notwithstanding' I have lost A SOP).
