BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD).
IN RE TRNELL AND WATERHOUSE.
These bankruptsU
had csrried on buiness as builders,
&c., at Pimlico, and now came up to pass their last
examination.
The balance sheet shows a deficiency in July, 1818, of
5151, and the debts now due amount to 870/. There
are no assets, the bankrupts having assigned some
houses, which had cost 2,2001., to George Waterhouse,
a brother of one of the bankrupts, for a debt alleged to
be due to him. The solicitors to the assignees required
a further account as to this debt.

Mr. COOKE, for the bankrupts, contended that the
present accounts were quite sufficient, as the creditors
had got a copy of the schedule filed by the bankrupts in
the Court of insolvency. He could not understand why
the creditors did not Oppose the bankrupts there instead
of suing out a fiat.
The solicitor to the assignees said the creditors
thought they could do better in this court.
His HONOR said the creditors were entitled to further
accounts, and the examination must be adjourned.
Mr. COOKE then applied for some trade tools, which
had been allowed by the Insolvent Court, as excepted
articles, but which had been taken by the messenger.
Mr, Groom, the official assignee, said that the cre-
ditor's assignee would not consent to the property being
given up, as there were not assets sufficient to cover the
expenses.

AWFUL EXPLOSION AT ABER-
DARE.—SEVENTY LIVES LOST.
MERTHYR TYDVIL, AUGUST 12.—0 n Friday a
dreadful explosion of fire-damp, that dread and de.•
structive agent, occurred at Mr. William Thomas's
colliery, situated about two miles from the village of
Aberdare. The shock was felt for miles round. 80011
after the fatal event a most melancholy scene took
place—mothers hurrying in search of sons, wives in
search of their husbands, their cries rending the air
as corpse after corpse, blackened and mutilated,
was brought to sight; soon sixty disfigure. 4
corpses were brought from the pit, and then, it
having become fatal to descend to the pit, the brave
men who had, in such a praiseworthy manner res°
cued the few that escaped, gave over, though it was
believed that there were a great many others dovvil.r
living or dead. 105 men and boys were in the pi,t
.
at the time of the explosion, very few of whom have
r:
been brought out alive. Seven horses also we
killed. It is confidently asserted that the cause of
this most awful catastrophe was the negligence do
of the colliers in going to a dangerous heading without
a safety lamp. It is scarce tbree years ago sine:
twenty-eight human lives were destroyed by If
explosion of the same nature, and near the same pit.
