The attention of the public is earnestly drawn to the
suffering consequent on the terrible calamity produced by
the recent colliery explosions.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are greatly needed to relieve the
numerous families made destitute thereby.
The amount required to meet the memorable Hartley
Colliery Accident in 1862 was £50,000 ; in that case 204
men and boys lost their lives ; in the present instance
double that number are believed to have perished, there-
fore w make a suitable provision for the families depen-
dent upon them, about £lOO,OOO will be needed. At the
final distribution of the surplus of the Hartley Fund,
£3,140 was allotted to the districts in which the present
accidents occurred, and this sum is now available towards
the fund now being raised.

ON SATURDAY, the 29th of Docemller, will
be published, at No. 112, Strand, "THE WEST-
MINSTER GAZETTE," a new Catholic Weekly Paper,
supported by it large number of known and approved
writers. Its two main objects are, first, the exposition of
Catholic principles on all those great questions—ecclesias-
tical, philosophical, and social —which are now agitating
the intellect and heart of the country ; and, second, a
truthful statement of facts as to the condition, political and
religious, of Catholicism in the various countries of Europe.
Foreign writers of note in France, Italy, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, and Spain aro engaged as contributors to
" The Westminster Gazette." The truo,interests of Ireland,
its struggles for its unquestionable rights as r Catholic
nation to a Catholic system of E lucation, shall be dis-
cussed always in a spirit free from the prejudice or passion
of mere political partisanship. An important feature of
the New Paper will be the largo space especially allotted
to reviews of books, both English and foreign, non-
Catholic as well as Catholic.
Orders received by all booksellers and news-agents, and
at the office, 112, Strand, London. Price 2Gs. per annum.
