CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Kentish
Arms Tavern, Mabledon-place, Burton-crescent, before Mr.
STIRLING and a very respectable Jury, for the purpose of
investigating the circumstances attending the death of Don
Vincente Elizondo, aged twenty, a Spanish gentleman, of
highly respectable connections, who put a period to his
existence by cutting his throat. The details of this case
were given in the The Sun of yesterday.
After hearing several witnesses the Jury returned a ver-
dict, " That the deceased destroyed himself in a state of
temporary derangement."

Simon Holland, who was killed by the sudden falling of the
chimney shaft of the factory of Messrs. Christmas, Hart,

watch the proceedings on behalf of the firm, and Mr. Bad-
deley on the part of Mr. Bragg, the builder.

they deeply deplored the calamity, and would make every
possible reparation to the sufferers. The deceased would
be buried, and his widow and children had been assured of
permanent assistance. The wounded men would receive
every kindness, and Mr. Connell's premises would be re-
stored.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT HETTON COLLIERY.
A dreadful explosion occurred on Thursday afternoon, at
the Downs Pit, near Hetton. Sixteen men and bows have
fallen victims, and five others have been brought to bank,
dreadfully scorched, with scarcely any probability of their
surviving. It is impossible to assign any satisfactory reason
for such an event. Upwards of one hundred persons were
employed in the pit at the time it occurred, but owing to
the accident being confined to one of the workings, the num-
ber of the victims was less than might have been expected.
It is impossible to give an adequate description of the con-
sternation that spread like lightning through the dwellings
of the neighbouring population on hearing the melan-
choly tidings ; crowds were to be seen hurrying to the
pit mouth anxious to ascertain whether amongst those
that cast their eyes on their comrades and earnestly
asked for the cooling draught, were to be found some
relation, who, recognising the face they were about to

were found locked in each other's arms, and lying as if in a
profound sleep. A placid smile played upon their cheek,
and seemed as if lingering to soothe the conflict of mental
agony which agitated the breast of those they had left be-
hind them. These unfortunate individuals had always borne
an excellent character, aril had endeared themselves to a
wide circle of friends, by the most exemplary virtue. Ro-
binson Harland, the only Rapport of his mother, an aged
widow, is severely burnt a the back, the arms, and the up-
per part of the face. Nc blame, we understand, can be
attached to the overmen, though slight explosions have oc-
curred at intervals for sone time. We are really alarmed
at the many accidents bat have occurred lately in Coal
Mines of this neighbouihood, and we sincerely wish some
effective measures were adopted in order to ensure the
safety of the workmen.—Sunderland Herald.

Consul for Buenos Ares, 20, Mabledon-place, Burton-

indisposition, which afficted his mind, and latterly the dis-
order had turned to thesmall pox. Orders were given that
he should be narrowly vatched ; but he had by some means
