dred families were supplied with beef, bread, and coals, in
hoc our of the marriage of the Princess Royal. The in-
cumbent, aided by Mr. Alfred Hobday and others, was

heartily gratified with the bounty afforded them.

ROMAN RAILWAYS.—The Piceno of Ancona, of the
9th, announces that the Pio Central Railway is already
far advanced. The sections between Fano and Pesaro,
and between the latter and La Cattolica are completed.
The tunnel which is to be pierced through the mountain
at that place is already commenced, and is being actively
pushed on. La Cattolica, it will be remembered, is an
important strategical point, which has figured more or
less as a rallying point in all the troubles of Italy during
the last 27 years.
EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP. —A few days ago, a
dreadful accident occurred in the Brandy Colliery.
Rhosllanerchrugog, which ended in the burning of nine
men mad- barging two more. This accident, caused by
an explosion of fire-damp in a new pit, was brought
about by the rashness of the workmen, who, after the
blasting of some of the coal, went into the workings
with naked candles instead of making use of the lamps
which are provided for them by the company. The men
are doing well.—North Wales Chronicle.

THE WADSWORTH MOOR MURDER. The Halifax
Courier Bays—The deceased seems to have been induced
to leave his borne along with the prisoner on the under.
standing that a number of cattle were to be sold cheap
in the neighbourhood of Wadsworth. Shepherd and the
deceased were repeatedly seen together in the direction
of the scene of the murder. Mr. Spiers is said to be in
possession of infertnation accounting for the doings of
the prisoner for almost ever., hour from quitting Parkin-
son's bone to the period when the former surrender at
the police office on Saturday night. Already Mr. Spiers
has about 40 witnesses who will give evidence on the
subject.
THE CARLISLE WEAVERS.—The !cleat Journal says the
number of men daily employed by the relief committee
still remains the same. The funds, it is expected, will
last till the end of next (this) week. On Tuesday night
a resolution was passed by the committee that the men
be requested to work half an hour longer every day, in
order that the works in progress might be completed
before the funds at the disp isal of the committee were
exhausted. On Wednesday night this order was commu-
nicated to the men, when about 112 of them refused to
comply with the reasonable desire of the committee, and
resigned their tickets. A committee meeting was sum-
moned, the resolution was rescinded, and the malcon-
tents returned quietly to their work on Th ureday.
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AT HOLYHEAD
NEW HARBOUR.—The staging lately erected for the
construction of a round head on the north breakwater
has, during the late gale, been destroyed to a fearful
extent. The formidable mass of piles gave way to the
terrific fierceness of the gale, and about 70,000 feet •f
timber were carried away and are now strewn along the
coast below Ponrhos. Six out of the seven turn-tables,
and 33 of the strong iron waggons, laden with stone,
placed on the top for steadying the timber, were plunged
into the sea. The loss sustained must amount to many
thousands of pounds, and a great number of men have
been necessarily thrown out of employment. The crash
caused by the fall of the staging was tremendous. Many
casualties occurred to vessels, but none of an important
nature. _ _
