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.larg#
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 thp
poor on their estates.

the rato-of a guinea and a half per week, commences
from the day of embarkation, and in addition to their

DREADFCL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday morning
a report was current in Ashton, that a large number of
the workmen employed at the Victoria Coal Pita,
Dukinfield, had been burned to death on the previous
night. On our going to the colliery to ascertain the
partiolars, vae found that a most serious accident had
occurred, by which four men, who were employed at the
bottom cf the pit, had been most severely burned, bit
at that time they were a 1 living ; two of the number,
however, were not expected to exist many hours. It
appears that as the men at one particular point of tl.e
pit were driving :he foul air out of the jig• brows by
means of the ven Wag, r, it forced its wey :dung tho
of the pit, and there being a candle lighted near to
where. some. other seen were employed in getting coal,
•the air came in contact with the light; the result was rsi
explosir.n, and the poor fellows were must dreadfully
scorched, the skin hanging; in shreds from evary part
their bcdtes.—Another awful occurrence took place in
the same pit on Thursday morning. A boy named
Thomis _Jones, aged 15, one of the. drivers in the pit,
while standing at the bottom of one of the jig-brows,
took up a pick, with which he commenced to strike near
the top of the roof, when a large stone fell 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.--
