SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday Evening.—A telegraphic
despatch nag received this afternoon by. Captain Engle-
due, Superintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany at this port, froni 'Messrs. Pox, Son, and Co., of
Plymouth, stating :—" Tagus just towed in the Martin
Luther, from Liverpool.for Quebec dismasted. No par-
ticulars yet." This accounts for the non-arrival of the
Tagus, which was due here with the Peninsular mails
on the 14th (yesterday). She is now expected here
during the night or early in the morning.
THE EXPLOSION AT LUNDHILL.—The pit was un-
roofed yePterday, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. On
Tuesday there had been a stoppage in the drawing out
of the water for 24 hours from the time of the chair being
raised, caused b 3 the repairing and lengthening of the
conductors. These repairs, were, however, completed a
little before 3 o'clock yesterday. When the operation
of drawing again fairly commenced it was continued
with great rapidity without interruption up to the time
of our parcel being despatched. During yesterday and
the previous night there had been several large escapes
of gag, but no indications of.fire had been observe& It
was stated that shoat 2 o'clook the depth of water in
the shaft had been lowered to about six feet, at which
time only one of the bui;kets could be brought out full,
as the other could not descend to the bottom on account
of some defect in the conductor. Since the operations
of drawing were again resumed on Tuesday afternoon
no persons have descended the shaft, as it was considered
dangerous to do so while the pit was in process of un-
roofing, as the escape of gas might have caused another
explosion. A- placard has been issued calling upoa
volunteers who may be willing to take part in the re-
covery of the bodies to attend or send in their names to
thicolliaiy by Monday next, on which day it is expected
theii services will be required.
