The Freshman class of this year is likely to be the
largest that has been in the University for many years;
the matriculations in Trinity College this year will, pro-
bably, number 400. This, in part, arises from the large
and increasing number of students from England.
The Provost and Senior Fellows of Trinity College
have contributed the sum of 1,5001. within the last year
out of the College revenues to relieve the distress of the
poor on their estates.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Th day. morning
a report was current in Ashton, that a large number of
the workmen employed at the Victoria Coal Pits,
Dukinfield, had been burned to death on the previous
night. On our going to the colliery 'to ascertain the•
particulars, we found that a most serious accident had
occurred, by which four men, who were employed at the
bottom of the pit, had been most severely burned, but
at that time they were all living ; two of the number,
however, were not expected to exist many hours. It
appears that as the men at one particular point of the
pit were driving the foul air out of the. jig brows by
means of the ventilator, it forced its wily 'along the level
of the pit, and there being a candle lighted near to
where some other men were employed in.. getting coal,
the air came in contact with the light; the result was an
explosion, and the poor fellows were most dreadfully
scorched, the skin hanging in shreds from every part of
their bedies.—Another awful occurrence took place in:
the same pit on Thursday morning. A boy named
Thomas Jones, aged 15, one of tke.drixers in the pit,
while standing at the bottom of one 0( the jig-brows,
took up a pick, with which he commenced to strike near
the top of the roof, when a large stonelell upon him and
killed him on the spot ; the boy had been previously
told it was dangerous to interfere with it. The father of
the deceased was suffocated in the pit some time ago.—

THE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE.—On Blaclifriars-
bridge, in the early part of Monday, a young child
named Elizabeth Drawbridge, whilst in the act of cross-
ing the carriage way, was knocked down by an ox pro-
ceeding towards-Smithfield, was trampled upon and
gored. §he Was conveyed in a hopeless condition to the
resi ence of her parents.—ln the market, between three-
air o'clock, a young married woman, residing at
o. 10, ' Green-street, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road,
. ...
named Tailor, was run against and knocked clOwn by
oxen. She sustained such injuries that her recovery is
not expected. She was taken to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital.—Shortly afterwards, in the Blackfriars-road,
a child named Wade, crossing the road, was tossed by
an ox coming from the market, endangering the child's
life.—Mary Ann Binical, a married woman, residing at
30, Goswell-street-road, while crossing Farringdon-
street, was run over by no less than four beasts, and
severely wounded.
THE FLORES EXPBDITION.—Yesterday and Satur-
day several hundred lads and men were collected near
the Angel public-house platform, B,otherhithe, for the
purpose of engaging themselves ill the. ab-ove expedition,
under the name of emigrants. An officer and a doctor
occupied a large room in the public house, where the
men and lads were examined by the doctor, and, after
being supplied with sixpennyworth of bread and cheese
and ale, they were shipped on board• a steam-tug, and
taken to Gravesend. Upwards of Ave hundred have en-
gaged themselves already. Inspector Hornsby, M divi-

A meeting of the Committee of Spanish American
Bondholders was held yesterday afternoon, on the sub-
j( et of the Mexican debt, and the withdrawal of the
agency from Messrs. Schneider and Co. Nothing im-
portant, however, transpired relative to the deliberations
of that body . further than the prompt acknowledg-
ment. of the receipt of correspondence both from
General Mendoza and Messrs. Schneider and Co. on
the question. From what we can learn, the Committee
appear extremely desirous of moving with great caution
in the affair.

the carriages damaged ; but we are happy to say that
none of the passengers suffered injury. The driver and
stoker were thrown off the engine, and escaped with
some slight bruises. The ten o'clock train from Edin-

at eight o'clock, a total interruption of the communica-
