v,...i.Thopands of pounds are expended very ridiculously in
present for you!h, and the greater part in articles not valued, be-
cause not adapted for display, and too frequently not for use ; how
much more gratifying would be an article that could be worn ? Give
a girl a new tippet, cloak, or muff, or a boy a new top-coat or a suit
of clothes, and there is somethin to gratify the g
pto lastride, somth etheming

boast of among their acquaintagnces, somethin
season, and do them a real service. Those, therefore, who make
presents, and particularly to their own children, should bear in mind
that they would be infinitely more delighted at an article of dress as
a Christmas present than with any toy, or book, or useless play-
thing, even if it only anticipated MOSESeriod at which they would have
bad it a few weeks. Messrs. E.

who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted Isis studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-

gains ground here that the arrangement proposed by
Mr. Wagstaff will be carried. out, ;and that a steam-

It also. oppeisrs to be the general' belief that the Go-
verammt of the :United Sates are favourable to the
project of a direct and regular line of packets be
New York and the West of Ireland. This
idea has been, in some 'degree, warranted by a pas-'
sage in. the report of -the Postnisster-General, sub
milted
.by President Fillmore to 'the favourable consi-
deration of Congress, respecting the proposal of some
American merchants to establish a lir;e of mail steamers
between New York and Galway, recommending
that line as calculated to " lessen the time now re-
quire(' fnr the transmission of the mails between the
United • States and England and Ireland ;" and
adding that "other cogent reasons, not directly con-
nected with its usefulness fur mail purposes, have
been strongly urged in favour of its establishment."

DUI3LIN, SATURDAY.—Notwithstanding the seve-
rity of the ill-timed (?) attack of sickness which de-
barred. Primate Cullen from taking any part in the
election of secretary on WedneAay last, " his Grace"
has recovered strength sufficient to enter the lists, and
take bis side in the fierce controversy now raging
with r aspect to the preference of the "Saxon." to the
aboriginal candidate. Dr. Callen has addressed a
letter Ito the honorary secretaries of the Defence As-
sociation with a view of casting oil upon the leroubled
waters, and of appeasing the wrath of the mutinous
" Spat tans" who, by their recently• published pro-
test, b 'aye shaken all public confidence in the good
faith of the association. Whether these objects are
likely 'to be achieved by the doctor's coy avowal of
his simpathy towards Mr. Wilberforce is doubtless
best known to Messrs. Keogh, Moore, and the other
confedeiested advocates of " purenationality." Sub-
joined is a copy of Primate Cullen's missive.
," Dublin, Dec. 19.
" Gentlemen,—The effects ef a severe illness de-
prived me of the advantage of. being present at the
late meeting of the committee of the Catholic Defence
Association. I regret this the, more, inasmuch as I
lost by any absence an opportunity of expressing
personally my sincere acknowledgments to you fer
the zeal and ability with which .you have disc earged
the duties of honorary secretaries during the past
months.
" While availing myself of. Ws occasion for ten-
dering te you the expression lief my sentiments of
thankfulness, I cannot conceal from you the thelings
of deep disappointment which ,I have experienced at
learning that a misunderstandigg has grown out of
the proceedings of the committee, which tern rinnted
in the election of Mr. Wilberforce to the office of se-
cretary.. From the first formatio of the society I
understeod the'reding to be' univerikly entertained
that all Catholics of the United Kingdtet wore to
constitute one body, and to be in all reyptsi upon a
perfect equality, without distinction of prowince or
country. - This, as far as I coulti ju ige, was .deemed
a vital principle, and the one best.aalculated to advance
the interests of our holy religiooharity, and trutb,
and union among all Catholics or;Xlie empire appeared
to be the basis upon which our proceedings ,ar.d com-
bined efforts were to rest.. Bearing with sue the
impression of this avowed prinewle, strengthened as
it has been by an intercourse wige several members,
both ley and clerical, of tbe association, I was not
e
Prepared I must confess for the exception which has
been taken to the selection of seedistinguislied a per-
son as Mr. Wilberforce to the offf.ce which was to be
filled. Were the association founded for local or
merely political purposes I 'woug, subscribe to the
justness of the exception. Virfien, however, it is •
borne in mind that its objects ern religions and Ca-
tholic, every question arising shouli be decided upon
religious and Catholic grounds. If au association
e‘'
were established for purely political purposes, I would
earnestly. desire for it the fullest,,pleasure, of success
in the pursuit of every legitinaat and
would not allow me time to take, any s° live

peruse the admirable address to tho Irish people in

brother members. I need searcely tell you, who
known my sentiments on matters of that nature so
well, that I concur most heartily in the course you
have taken, and that if the signatures are extended
beyond those who attended the committee on Wed-
nesday, I beg you will attach my name to the; docu-
ment.

The Warder of this day states positively that the
same company which has executed the submarine
telegraph between the French and English shores, has
actually submitted to the Government a
proposal by
which it guarantees the completion within a vary
limited period of a submarine telegraph, upon the
very same principle and construction, between Kings-
town and Holyhead. The sole condition required by
the company is, that the Government will pay it for
the exclutive use of the two wires which they propose
placing at its disposal a yearly sum of 1,090/.
SALES OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES.

One of the Commissioners sat Yesterday in the
Court at Henrietta street, for the sale of encumbered
property. There were no less than twelve estates
to be auctioned, comprising household, leasehold,
and fee-simple property in the counties of Meath,
Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Dublin, Kilkenny, Mayo,
Westmeath, and Tipperary, and in the cities of Dublin
and Cork. The court was thronged to inconvenience
with solicitors, bidders, and others, and the sales were
in most instances completed with the usual dispatch ;
in fact, before 4 o'clock, with the exception of two or
three lots, the whole of this great mass of property had
passed from the former owners into the possession of
new hands. _ _

The properties were sit up in the following order:
—The Kerry estates of Mr. Barry Collins, profit ren-
tal, 3131. per annum, sold for 3,5001., eq4al to 11i
years' purchase. The Meath estates of Mr. Barclay
Striven, rental, 6671., sold for 8,890/., c qual to nearly
131 years' purchase. The estates of Mr. Walter
John Carew, lying in the county of Cork and city of

tates of Mr. Thomas Walsh, situate in the counties of
Waterford and .Cerk, annual rental, 5741., sold for
5 0101., or 9 years'purohase. A smallestate in the county
of,Westmeatb, the property of Mr. E. Barron, rental
401. a year, produced 4901., or 111 years' purchase.
Another equally small property in the county of
Dublin, the "estate" of .Mr. Charles Shaw, rental,
431 per annum, sold for 260/., or .7 years' purchase.
The Cork estates of Mr. Edward Byrne, annual
rental, 195/, sold for 1,200/, very little over GA
years' purchase. The. estate of Mr. P. Dunne, in the
oeunty of Tipperary, annuel rental, 601, went for
5001., or 8 years' purchase. The Mayo estate of Mr.
James. Martin, lying in the county of Mayo, annual
profit rent, 413/., produced 6,4501., equal to nearly 16
years' purchase. Toe estate of Jane Bryan, in the
county of Dublin, annual rental 1021, sold for 9201.;
or 9 years' purchase. The last sale was of fte
Waterford end Cork estates of Mr. Henry Parker,
the annual rental of which was 1381., and which
realised 3,380/., or about, 241 years' purchase. The
gross sum produced by the eale.s effected during the
day was 36,580/., equal to 114 years' purchase on a
net rental fif 3,110/. per annum. It is worthy of re-
mark, that the estate of Mr. Byrne, which was sold
yesterday for 1,2001, might have been disposed of on
two previous occasions for 1,8001.; a loss of just 600/.
was therefore occasioned by iujudioious applications
for adjournments.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON.—It is our mournful duty
to record another colliery explosion—one of the most
awful and fatal that has ever taken place in this neigh-
bourhood. It has occurred et Warren Vale pit, atßaw-
marsh, two miles from Rotherham, the property ofEarl
Fitzwilliamvr i and worked by Messrs. J. and J.
Charlescrth, the lessees of many collieries in the
Yorkshire coal district.

It appears that about ten minutes before six this
morning Mr. Silvester, the underground steward,
went into the pit as usual to examine the state of
the workings. Oae or two men went down with him,
and he was followed shortly afterwards by the whole
body of miners employed there. In what state he
found the pit is not known, for he has not been seen
again, and it is believed is among those who have pe-
rished. It appears, however, that he did not find the
pit in such a condition as to induce him to stop the
working, for the men and boys had generally gone
down, and everything appeared to be proceeding in
the usual mode. The precise number of men in the
pit has not been ascertained. It is believed to be not
less than 73. The number of men directly employed
by Messrs. Charlesiorth was 32, but nearly all these
had men and boys employed under them.
To outward appearance everything went on as
usual, until a few minutes before seven o'clock. At
that time not only those near the pit, but the whole
neighbourhood around, was astounded and horrified
by an irruption like that of a volcano. Smoke and
flames burst out of the mouth of the pit in an ap-
palling volume. Two corns which were being
drawn out of the pit were projected upwards with
volcanic force, and lodged in the gearing over the
shaft. A quantity of coals, stones, and other matters
which had been carried high into the air, descended
all around the pit in a terrible shower. So fearful
and perilous was it, that the persons employed near
the pit mouth were compelled to take shelter under
the platform of the tipplers for loading the carts; and
it was only by this precaution that they escaped fatal
injuries. The country all round the pit was blackened
to a distance of three quarters of a mile by the descent
of the dust and smoke. So great was this, that a
man who was standing at his cottage door, two fields
from the pit, found his face blackened as if he had
been working in the pit itself. The report of the
explosion was heard a distance of three miles.
The whole country round was filled with conster-
nation, and crowds of persons hastened to the place.
As soon as it was possible the damaged gearing of
the shaft was repaired, so as to enable men to descend
the pit, which is 127 yards deep.
By'half-past nine fourteen persons had been got
out alive, but all more or less injured. These had
been enabled, after the explosion, to make their way
to the bottom of the shaft and avail themselves of the
first opportunity of ascending.
Up to half-past three there had been extricated 24
persons alive, and 15 dead bodies. OF the living 15
had happily escaped sufficiently well to be able to
render rusistenco and information. Nine were so
severely injured that it is feared several of them =-
not recover, as they have not only been dreadfully
burned, but sustained fractures and other injuries of
a dangerous character. Three of the injured men
have been sent to the Sheffield Infirmary. Of those
who are killed some of the bodies present a most
shocking spectacle, being so dreadfully mutilated as
to make identification almost impossible.
Of the killed the following have been identified :
James Purselove, aged 14; Henry Purselove, aged
12 ; John Hartley, John Walton, William Froggatt,
John Whyke, alias Barstow, Abraham Thompson,
George Sellars, John Hartley, Siddons, and Wil-
liam Barnes.

Among the dangerously hurt are—Joieph Baynes,
'of Riwmarsb ; Bownes, of ditto; Timothy Tins-
ley, of ditto ; John Harrison, of ditto ; Jonathan Sel-
lars, of ditto; Abraham Auty, of ditto; James °ate?,
of ditto; Eli Barker, of Rose-hill; and George Lin-
ley, of Upper Haugh.
The number still in the pit, there is too much
reason to believe, is from 30 to 40, and the terrible
conviction prevails that they cannot possibly have
survived.

ANOTHER EXPLOSION AT WOOD-
THORPE COLLIERY.

At four o'clock in the afternoon measures were
being taken, under the direction of Mr. Goodison,
the N iewer of E trl Fitzwilliatn, Mr. &Mars, the
manager, Mr. Cooper, underground steward of Earl
Fitz william, and other experienced persons, to throw
into the pit a current of fresh air, so as to make it
possible further to explore the workings and search
the places where the bodies of the unfortunate miners
are believed to be.

The scene in the neighbourhood is of the most
heartrending description. " Mourning, lamentation,
and woe " prevail among those who can give no help;
while those who can give aid labour with a degree of
zeal and self-devotion which merit far greater praise
than words can convey. Men, who come out of the
pit, sinking from exhaustion, the combined effect of
the labour and the foul air, are eager, as soon as they
are in some degree restored, again to descend, at the
peril of their lives, to aid the less fortunate.
The injured men have been conveyed to their own
homes or more convenient places. The dead bodies
have generally been conveyed to the neighbouring
public- houses. At the Star Inn, no less than nine
dead bodies lie.

The supposed cause of the accident is the fall of a
portion of the roof of the pit, stopping the usual cur-
rent of ventilation, liberating a large quantity of foul
air, and forcing it into the parts were the miners were
working with candles. It appears that this is a new
pit, which has not been worked more than twelve
months.

the air-gates and other apparatus for directing the
currents of air through the pit had been destroyed by
the force of the explosion.
Mr. John Charles worth
was at Brorepten Bull
Head, where the Badsworth bounds met, when he
heard of the explosion, and hastened to the
pit, where
he attended most assiduously to the sufferers, and
gave orders that no expense should be spared in ren-
dering all possible aid.
SUNDAY IGUT.—The search for the bodies of the
sufferers by this dreadful ealetnity Was continued
last night anti to-day. The number of dead recovered
from the pit now amounts to 49, and two or three
others yet remain in. The search, has been carried
throughout the workings, :red as their bodies have not
been found, it is concluded that they are buried be-
neath a mass of the roof which had fallen in at the
northern extremity of the working, end no doubt was
the cause of the explosion. The men who were in
the pit dt the time, but who escaped without injury,
speak most confidently to the satisfactory ventilation
of tie pit previous to the explosion. There are ten
bodies so dreadfully mutilated es to render identity
impossible. Mr. Morton, the Government Inspector,
is eXpeeted to visit the place to-morrow.

This colliery, which was the scene of the unfortunate
accident last week, has again been visited by a similar
occurrence, though happily unaccompanied with the
same disastrous results. An accurate plan of the work-
ings being required for production at the assizes, on
the occasion otld's trial, Messrs. John Wood and
G. P. Wall, pupils of Mr. T. D. Jeffo:k, colliery viewer,
deecended the shaft on Wcdceedayse for the purpose of
?slaking the necessary surveys. They were accompanied
by John Sellars, the fire-trier at the Soap-house pit, and
throe other colliers in the employ of Mr. Rhodes, the
lessee of the works. Sellars preceded the party with a
Davy lamp, to test the state of the air, before the other
ventured forward with candles, the light emitted by a
safety lamp being insufficient for surve3ing purposes.
Having completed the survey in the locality of the for-
mer explosion, in which direction the air was found
tolerably good, they retraced their steps for a short dis-
tance, and proceeded along a wind-gate leading to the
head of the " throw." They went cautiously forward
until they came to a spot, of which mention was made
by Mr. Morton, the Government inspector, in his evi-
dence at the inquest, where the roof had fallen in, and
completely obstructed the ventilation of this mine in that
locality. Since the inspection of Mr. Morton, the ven-
tilation had been partially restored, by the excavation of
a passage through it, by means of which the party
might with difficulty be enabled to pass. Iremedia'ely
they approached the vicinity of this place, a perceptible
change was observed in the sir, which bad never been
abundant, and there began to fail. Sellars advanced a
short distance, but finding no indication of the presence
of sulphur, the rest of the party approached, and Mr.
Wall proceeded with the survey. Whilst his attention.
and that of Sellars, was thus occupied, Mr. Wood walked
ferward into the break with a candle, followed by ore of
the colliers named Potts. They had not proceeded fsr
before the flame of the candle came in contact with a
volume of sulphurous gas, which suddenly exploded
with a loud noise. Mr. Wood was knocked down and
severely burnt and bruised; Potts also was thrown
down, but escaped with a slight singeing; the others
fortunately escaped unhurt. No after damp followed,
or the consequences would have been most calamitous,
as the place where the explosion occurred is situate
about 140 yards from the pit shaft. Mr. Wood wee im-
mediately conveyed home, and attended by Mr. William
Jackson, under whose care he is fast recovering.
