DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN DONEGAL.
The Daily Express reports that on the evening
of the Ist instant the land-steward of J. B. Hart,
Esq., of Rathmolton, was returning from Derry,
and when within 100 yards of his residence he was
attacked by a party of men armed with guns.
They beat him most unmercifully, and his escape
is owing to the fact of his being a powerful and
active man. The ruffians had a bulldog with them,
with which they worried the poor steward whilst
they were beating him.
The Derry Standard of yesterday says :—" There
have been several meetings of magistrates inwefer•
ence to the attempted murder of Mr. Nixon, and a
reward of £6OO for the discovery of the criminals
has been offered. _Several parties have been arrested
on suspicion, but if information has been conveyed
to the authorities it is still kept secret.. Mr. Nixon,
we are glad to say, is now considered out of
danger."

- RIBBONISM IN CORK COUNTY.
The following article from the Cork Constitution
-goes-to confirm the information already conveyed
respecting the extension of Ribbonism to the south-
ern counties :—" For some time past delegates from
the Ribbon Society have been actively engaged in
the west of this county, holding nightly meetings,
at which they are swearing in membeiT;,- in the
neighbourhood of Bantry, Skibbereen, and Clona-
kilty, and extending into Kerry. The proceedings
appear to be entirely confined to the class of la-
bourers and farm-servants, the farmers holding
aloof, and appearing not to be altogether at ease
with regard to them. Strenuous crofts, 'however,
are being made' to entrap farmers' sons into the
conspiracy. Some of the delegates are known to
the police, and the Government is fully aware of
their movements. The principal delegate arrived
in Cork yesterday (Wednesday),but his object here
is at present unknown."

head for the purpose of carrying on direct commu-
nication between Liverpool and Dublin. Hitherto

by Belfast and Portpatrick, on the Scottish coast.

THE REPRESENTATION OF BANBUBY.

On Saturday evening last information was re-
ceived in Banbury that our much-esteemed friend,
Mr. Tamed, who has for more than 25years faith-
fully represented this borough, had experienced a
severe attack of illness, by which he was so pros-
trated as to exclude all hope of .his being again
able to resume his Parliamentary duties. It was
already well known that there were several gentle-
men anxious to represent Banbury whenever a
vacancy might occur; indeed, the .number sug-
gested by rumour was ridiculously large, and the
painful intelligence we have referred to above was

likely to induce some of themaronceto present
themselves to the electors. This effect it has had.
At different periods in the spring of the year we were
authorised to announce that Mr. Sergeant Pigott,
the eminent counsel ; Mr. Samuelson, proprietor of
the Britannia Iron Worksrand a large employer of
labour in this place; and the Hon. J. F.V. W.
Fiennes, eldest son of the Lord Saye and Sele, of
Broughton Castle, would offer themselves as candi-
dates. Two of these gentlemen are now before the
electors. Sergeant Pigott arrived in Banbury on
Monday, and issued an address, which was followed
up an Tuesday morning by an anonymous handbill
calling upon the electors to reserve their votes for a
" real Reformer." The learned gentleman made a
few calls and left town on Tuesday, intending to
return in a day or two, when he will invite the
constituency to meet him at the Town-hall, to listen
to an explanation in detail of his political opinions.
On Tuesday placards were issued stating that Mr.
Samuelson would arrive in Banbury On Wednesday
and calling upon the electors to reserve their votes
until they had heard the opinions of the various
candidates. Mr. Samuelson reached Banbury about
midday on Wednesday. By Mr. Fiennes we are
authorised to say that he has abandoned the inten-
tion of offering himself as a candidate. On Wed-
nesday an address was issued by a Conservative
candidate, Mr. Hardy, a highly respectable gentle-
man of fortune, connected we believe with iron-
works in the north of England and whose residence
is at Dunstall-hall, Burton-upon-Trent, by whom an
active canvass was shortly afterwards commenced.
A handbill has been circulated to the effect that
either Mr. Cobden or Mr. Miall will be brought
forward. We have no knowledge of the authority
by which such a statement has been made.—Ban-
bury Guardian.

ANOTHER AWFUL COLLIERY ACCI-
DENT IN SOUTH WALES.

Thi

day it is our painful duty to record the loss
of 10 more lives through a colliery catastrophe in
South Wales. Thus, in less than three months,
have no less than 30 colliers fallen sacrifices to the
dangers attendant upon mining operations, and
that within a radius of 30 miles. The full particu-
lars of the distressing accident which we are now
called upon to record have not yet transpired, in
consequence of the colliery being situate in a some-
what backward district, so far at least as railway
communication is concerned. It occurred on Wed-
nesday evening last in the Cae Colliery, belonging
to Messrs. Davies, Francis, and Co., situate at Mar-
ble Hall, near Llannelly, Carmarthenshire, about 12
miles from Swansea. From the particulars which
have come to hand it appears that in the afternoon
of the day mentioned the men were engaged in their
daily avocations, when one of them suddenly struck
into an " old vein,' which had long since been closed,
and which must have become filled with water, for
no sooner was the entrance made than the pit in
which the men were engaged was filled with water,
and the ten men and boys who were known to be
working there have in all human probability
perished. Notwithstanding every effort the water
continued to rise the whole of the evening and the
succeeding night, and on Thursday morning there
were no less than three fathoms of water in the pit.
A large engine was with all promptitude put to
pump the water out of the pit, but failed to reduce
the depth mere than a few inches up to the time
our report was despatched.
We have been unable to ascertain the names of
the whole of the men whose lives have been thus
prematurely sacrificed, but two of them—Daniel
Thomas, of Caetyrgarn, and John Thomas, of La-
nerch—are married men, having several children
dependent upon them for support ; the remaining
eight are either unmarried men or boys.
The colliery has been visited by hundreds of per-
sons, and every means have been adopted to recover
the bodies, but up to a late hour on Thursday even-
ing they had been unsuccessful.
