Grand Military being marked for decision on this day. For
the Gol I Cup, out of twenty-eight nominations, probably
eighteen will be sent to the post, including those well,
known horses with the hounds, if not in regular steeple-
chasing,Anglesey, The Unlucky One, Buckjumper, Country
Squire, Hvxkeswortb, Oscar, Iron Duke, Fugleman. Johnny
Oakes, The Treasurer, and Miss Mowbray. Shinrone, whom I
should have selected to beat the lot, being e very uncertain
starter, I shall pounce upon Ilawkesworth, Buckjumper, Tire
Unlucky One, Oscar and Johnny Oakes, as the lot
likely to figure to most advantage; but when you tak, into
consideration that the weight is 12st or upwards, and gen-
tlemen riders, it is ti,,t very easy to select what is likely to
form the first flight, much les4 the winner, but I think the
latter will be found in HANYKESWORTH, OSCAR., or JOHNNY
OAKES There are two other steeplechases on the list for this
d .y, but not being of any consequence to the sporting
community generally, I shall pass them over. On
Friday the Grand Annual Steeplechase will probably attract
the following batch into the field:—Sir John, 12st; The
Victim, list 31b; Vain Hope, list 31h; British-Yeoman, list;
Fugitive, lOst 101 b; Rattrap, lOst 81b; Miss Collingwood,

Daley, 9st Glb; llendsburgh, 9st 51b; and Miss Mowbray,
9st 41b. Vain Hope, Fugitive, Rattrap, and Young-un seem
to me to be the best " in," but, after what has been going on
the whole of the season, I will not give a more decisive
opinion until I have ascertained which way the money's
going.

The Hurdle Race seems to be in favour of Psyche, 4 yrs,
9st 71b ; or Little Queen, 5 yrs, lOst 51b ; Fugitive, lOst 101 b,

the mark.

IRELAND.
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.—So far as the metropolis is con-
cerned, the admirers of. bigotry have every reason to boast
of the success yesterday of the simultaneous collection to-
wards the foundation of Primate Cullen's Catholic Univer-
sity. The sums already announced amount to nearly 1,3001.,
but it is anticipated that when the lists are completed the
figure will be swelled by 3001. additional, and this notwith-
standing that two of the most aristocratic parish chapels
in the city, directly under the control of Archbishop Mur-
ray, were hermetically sealed against the inroads of the col-
lectors. The Freeman boasts that the levy is about equal
to the sums contributed by the gulls of Dublin to the O'Con-
nell rent in the years in which the largest collections were
made for the Liberator's exchequer.
This the organ regards as " a great re.ult," considering
the " depression of the times," and " other circumstances of
discouragement"— to wit, Dr. Murray's obstinacy— " too
recent and too painful to make it either necessary or plea-
sant to dwell upon." The parish of St. Michan enjoys the
pre-eminence of being the heaviest mulcted in the diocese,
the collection there exceeding 300/. Times.

FATAL EXPLOSION IN THE VICTORIA
COAL-PIT.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
GLASGOW, MONDAY MORNING.—The operations still con-
tinued, and about six o'clock last night the miners were able
to bring up a large portion of the iron cage which had so
much obstructed their efforts during the greater part of
the day. They were only able to remove it by cutting
through the iron at the corners. Several additional de-
scents were made, and about nine o'clock it was definitely
announced that the workmen were now in communication
with the two men. whom they had a prospect of saving.
I'revious to this the refreshments which had been sent
down were acknowledged. About ten o'clock a supply
of blankets was sent down, as it was announced that the
poor fellows were almost in a sate of nudity. After
a lengthened period of anxiety and suspense, one of the
poor sufferers, named Joha Cochrane, was finally brought
to the surface. He was supported by two men into an
adjoining shed, and immediately attended by a medical
gentleman. Cochrane was in such a weak state
that he could not give any detailed account of the actual
occurrence of the calamity further than that two men who
were working with him at the time were instantaneously
struck down by the fire. During his long imprisonment of
nearly forty-five hours he says that he repeatedly groped
about for some of his neighbours, and often called on them
hut, with one exception, no one answered. The miners
were about to go down for the other men when our informant
left.

The Earl of Glasgow and Mr. Rodger, P.F., continued on
the ground till late at night, encouraging the workpeople by
every means in their power. A company of the 21st In-
fantry, which was brought to the spot by air. John Dun,
sheriff-depute, rendered essential service in restraining the
crowd.

MONDAY NlGHT.—Another man has been discovered alive,
and two dead bodies brought up. The living men have not
yet been able to give any connected account of the accident.
No more men can now be got out alive. There are still 59
dead bodies in the pit, making the total loss of life 61.

STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION

AT STOCKPORT.

TERRIFIC LOSS OF LIFE.
FROM OUR OWN RETORTZR.)

This town, which last summer was the scene of a frightful
accident resulting from the falling in of a cotton factory, has
again been the scene of a similar event, which from its terri-
ble extent and the great loss of life attending upon it, seems
almost unparalleled in the annals of such occurrences
Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, about half-past four, from
some cause or other, as yet unascertained, the steam-boiler
at the Park Mills, belonging to Mr. H. Marsland, formerly
M.P. for the borough, burst, carrying with it in its progress
the whole six stories, from the ground-floor to the roof.
The engine is a high-pressure, and the force of the explosion
may be conjectured from the fact that the whole of the roof
was carried away, and the mill became enveloped in flame
from top to bottom in an almost incredible short space of time.
Unfortunately, at that hour of the day the mill was in full
work, and filled with work-people, so that the consequences
of the accident become most terrific. A considerable number
were carried up into the air, by the boiler forcing its way
through the different stories, while others were precipitated
into the ruins beneath as the building tell in, and the rapid
spread of the flames subsequent to the explosion, in many
instances, prevented all escape. Our correspondent states
that he saw one man in desperation leap from the top story
of the building into the river which flows beneath at the
back of the mill, but whethor he escaped with life or not it
bad been impossible to ascertain. Several dead bodies had
been rescued at the time when our correspondent dispatched his
communication, and others still alive had been carried
to the infirmary, but, as the flames were still raging
violently, it was perfectly impossible to ascertain the
number of the sufferers. The whole town was in a state of
consternation, and thousands had assembled to view the
conflagration, not knowing when or where it would stop. A
detg
chment of military had been called in, and patrols had
been stationed at all the avenues leading to the mill, to keep
if the crowds, and to allow free room for the operations of
the firemen.

WINDSOR ROYAL DISPENSARY.—His Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, at the general annual meeting of the
subscribers to the Windsor Royal Dispensary, was appointed
president of the institution (in the room of the late Duke of
Cambridge), and has been graciously pleased to sanction
the wishes of the subscribers. The Great Western Railway
Company have presented a donation of ten guineas, and the
directors of the South-Western Railway have become annual
subscribers to the same amount.
