HORRIBLE SITUATION.—A young man, efl
ployed at a colliery about ten or eleven miles south, of
Edinburgh, happened, on a particular morning some thne
ago, to oversleep himself, and on his arrival at the Vit
mouth found that his fellow workmen had already ex
scended ; and as the gin-rope which convoyed them t°
the bottom was again at the top, he put his foot into, the
iron swivel attached to it, and directed a countryman
waiting for a cart-load of coals to lower him. He had
scarcely commenced his descent, however, when the idea
suddenly occurred to him that there was something
wrong with the tackle, and clutching with his hands to
the wooden platform which half-way covers and ovehr;
hangs the pit, he was instantly disengaged from t
rope, and hung sus ?ended by the hands over the dark
and horrid abyss which yawned beneath him. It hap-
pened on the dark of a winter morning, and the carter to
whom lie had intrusted the task of lowering him, saw
distinctly, by the light of a fire burning within a few feet
of the pit, the fearful situation of the lad, heard his terri-
fied shriek for help, and ran forward to relieve him. On
reaching the margin, however, he was suddenly over d
r-..
come with fear, and stood for several seconds paralp
fo
and terror-stricken, without the power even to call r
assistance. Providentially, the master of the coal-pit
was about a hundred yards off when he heard the shriek
of agony from the lad, and, flying to his'assistance, arrive
in time to hear him say, in a low and faint voice, "Catch
me, my hands are slipping:" when, seizing him by the
wrists, he drew him with difficulty to the platform, where
he instantly fainted ; the poor frightened carter all the
while looking on in an agony of speechless terror, and
without the power to move. Who can calculate the
mental suffering of the poor lad while lie clung to the
platform, feeling his fingers gradually losing their grasp'
till he sunk in a fainting fit after being placed in safety '

NEW IMPULSIVE POWER.—(From a Cot-
respondent.)—The proprietor of the Gazette of Cot-
tau
Baton-Rouge, in Louisiana, has succeeded in propelling
vessels without the agency of fire. A Company which
has obtained a knowledge of the method employed, is
constructing a ship upon the principles discovered, as it
is said, by Monsieur Langlume, but which proceed rather
on the exp eriments of Tillorier and of Faraday, since
the article used is carbonic acid gas, liquefied without
machine of compression. All the invention consists in
two large gas-producers, the same as Tillorier's, which
are supplied with bicarbonate of soda and sulphuric acid.
Some drops of carbonic acid, produced and liquefied by
this mixture, fall alternately before and behind the pis'
tons, and as this gas has a pressure of at least 93 atmos-
pheres, it undergoes a considerable expansion, which .gio4
impulsion to the machine. Instead of a cumbersonlo
load of coals, a scorching fire, andponderous machinery',
a few tons of carbonate of soda and of acid will suffice to
traverse the ocean and circumnavigate the globe in less
than three months.—Evening Paper. ,
