FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morn-
ing, about 9 o'clock, an accident, resulting in the loss of
three lives, occurred at the Bear Moor Colliery, belonging
to the New British Iron COmpany's works, at Congreaves,
in the parish of Rowley Regis, South Staffordshire. The
accident, a fall of a great mass of coal from the roof of the
mine, took place while the men were at breakfast, and, what
is most singular, that portion of the pit was not then being
worked, the three unfortunate persons who were buried
beneath the debris, and killed instantaneously, having re-
moved to that part as a convenient spot to eat their meal.
Their names are Henry Smith, Joseph Siveten, and
Josiah Chivers, a lad aged 10. Smith leaves a widow and
one child. The news of the catastrophe, the pit being in the
midst of a dense population, caused great excitement and
consternation, and the wives, mothers, and children of the
colliers crowded the pit bank to avertain the fate of their
relatives. Rumours of 10 killed and many others shout
happily proved false, for except the three killed no 'fr.
person was injured. The workings of the pit hadedbeenfo
real;
sidered as safe, and as yet no cause can be assign
singular accident, Inputs will bo held,
