Kt NG'S THEATRE.—Last night, Mademoiselle
Irma, a deserving actress of the Queen's Theatre, had a benefit
here. The attendance was more numerous and of a better
class than is usually seen on benefit nights. This is as maxi'
to be attributed to the quantity and variety of performances.
as to the claims which the beneficial! e has upon the support of
the Opera goers. The programme was multitudinous, and-
contained matter enough for two, instead of one evening's
performance. It commenced with I Puritani, in which, as
usual, the polacca, the duet in the second act, and the cava-
tina in the third, were enthusiastically encored—a fate which
" Tu Vedrai," sang by Rubini, after the opera, only escaped.
in consequence of his previous exertions. But the principal-
novelty of the evening was the French piece of Marie Mignots
brought forward to introduce Mademoiselle Irma to her Italian
audience. This was as well, if not better, played than usual;
and Laporte and Mademoiselle Irma imparted to the chief
characters an interest which rendered it attractive, notwith-
standing that it did not commence until half-past eleven. Ia
the second act, the menuet de la tour and the popular taren-
talla were danced. The first act of Benyouysky brought the
whole to a close about day. break this morning. _ _

The rain which has fallen so opportunely between
the hay and corn harvests cannot fail to have the most bene;
ficial effect upon cvery description of garden and agricultural
produce.
Another—a second accident of a fotal nature since
the short period of the commencement of the works—occurred
at Duke Pit, Mount Pleasant, near this town, on Thursdai
morning last. An engine-house is in the course of erection
near the shaft of this pit, and the foundation sunk at conside'
rable depth, the side walls being built up so far as to he even
with the surface of the ground. Over these walls w.as cast a
planking or scaffolding, for the convenience of the wo:krnell
in crossing. A stone of more than usual size was in the act
of being conveyed, on the above morning, by eight of the,
masons, across the scaffolding, when one of the " needles'
underneath snapped, and the stone, together with four of the
workmen, went down into a very narrow corner of the founds"
tion. of the building. Mr. Joseph Armstrong (an over-looker)
for a great number of years in the employ of the Earl of
Lonsdale, was killed on the spot, the stone having fallen cli.;
rectly upon him. Andrew Graham, Richard Wough,
Daniel Daffey (an Irish labourer), were all more or less in'
jured, Graham, we believe, severely. The four other indivi-
duals who were assisting escaped unhurt, being near the ski°
wall, to which they clung. It is somewhat singular, tha!,
about forty years ago, when this pit was at work, the loss 01
life, and the accidents from various causes, were to such all
extent, that it was ultimately abandoned. A new shaft is null
being sunk close by the old one, which latter is to be used for
the purpose of drawing water out, by means of an enginer
several acres of ground below, it is said, being covered with
one almost unbroken sheet.— Whitehaven Herald.
