The loss of life by explosions in coal-mines has been
of late so great, that the friends of humanity must hail
with pleasure every endeavour to remedy an evil pro-
ductive of so much suffering. These lamentable acci-
dents are occasioned by the inflammable gas, which
collects in coal-mines, coining into contact with the
lamps used by the miners. Sir HUNIPIIRY DAVY'S
safety-lamp has proved no protection, and we doubt
much whether any means which require caution to be
exerted by tlui miners themselves will ever be found
of much benefit. A plan for lighting coal-mines by
lamps supplied with atmospheric air and gas through
pipes passing down the shaft has been sent to us. It
is suggested by Mr. DAVID BOOTH, and seems to us
well worth the attention of coal-mine proprietors.
The sketch of his plan which Mr. BOOTH has given
is accompanied with an engraving, without which we
cannot expect to make the details intelligible to our
readers. The general principle is, as we have stated,
to supply stationary burners with air and gas from
above, by means of a FEEDING MAIN passing through
the downcast shaft, and along the bottom of the pit,
while the products of the combustion are carried
through the upcast shaft by another pipe, called the
EVACUATING MAIN, which passes along the roof
of the pit.
The quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and
assets of the Bank of England, from the 17111 of November,
1835, to the 9th of February, 1836, inclusive, as compared
with the like return of the 12th of January, exhibits the fol-
lowing results :—The circulation has increased in the sum of
185,000/. ; the deposits have decreased in the sum of 803,000/. ;
the securities have increased in the amount of 932,000/., and
the stock of bullion in the amount of 395,000/. ; and the pre-
sent stock of bullion has increased on the year in the amount of
778,000/. ; but the deposits, it should be remembered, are
nearly six millions and a quarter larger. The amount of the
rest is 2,700,0001., which is 201,000/. greater than on the last
return. By the return of the Joint Stock and Private Banks
of Issue, as compared with that of the 26th of September
last, it appears that their gross increase amounts to 713,791/.
The increase of the private bank circulation amounts to
422,276/, and that of joint stock banks to 291,515/.
PIRACY.--._A small steam tow-boat was lately esta-
blished on the Avon and Severn. This gave great offence to
the inhabitants of Pill, the male portion of whom are chiefly
employed in rowing tow-boats. On Monday last, about thirty
Pill men boarded the above steamer in Pottishead Bay, and
endeavoured to throw tho master overboard, but he escaped in
a small boat of the vessel, not, however, before three pistol-
shots had been fired at him. The assailants then took the
steam-boat out to sea, and, after damaging her As much as pos-
sible, abandoned her.
