On Thursday afternoon last an accident of an
unprecedented character occurred at East Wheal V ole
Silver-lead Mine, situated in the parish of Nes"blo
about eight miles north of Truro, Cornwall. At
one o'clock, dense thunder-clouds gathered over the!
mine from the north-west, and in a few wiguteaani,
poured down, amidst vivid lightning' and aPP dtV
thunder, such a flood of rain as very shortly cover s,,
surface of the mine to a depth of some feet. The 1eAe0,,,,
rushing onward through the mine, which deso
towards the north, on reaching a narrow got bet 00
the hills, attained a height of about eight feeL,ies
such was its force, that it bore onward large P'7l-sti
balk and of iron boiler plates, which were lodg,e"il!
height of several feet above the ground. 1-141hTtY
on being checked by the sudden narrowing °,0,4
land, the water rushed into one of the '0
or most northern shafts, and soon afterwards/ 5r
or lees, into the other shafts of the mine. The ,!.1.1.1,3,101
cumbent weight of water, about the same time, uh'pr.

and breaking in of the "country," instantly P"cov

The mine was being worked to the depth of neeArLt'i:
fathoms ; and was flooded by this dreadful aoc`,"d:
to some feet above the 50-fathom level.; this lasv-W
