NARROW ESCAPE.—On Tuesday afternoon three
workmen were engaged blasting rock in the Whitlaw cut-
ting. They had completed a boring, and were in the act of
ramming home the charge of powder, when, it is supposed,
the iron with which they were packing the shot struck
against some substance which caused a spark to ignite the
gunpowder. A fearful explosion took place right in the
faces of the men, tossing them in all directions, ono poor
fellow being thrown nearly 30 feet, yet, strange to say, none
of them were hurt, with the exception of one man, who
sustained a slight cut on his left eyelid.
THE GAIN OF GODLINESS.—With that matrimo.
nial good fortune which very often attends members of the
clerical profession, we are informed that one of the curates
of the most fashionable and affluent parish in Bristol—a
gentleman much respected by his congregation and friends
—is about to marry an accomplished young heiress, whose
family reside in the district, and whose fortune on her mar-
riage day will be L 50,000, with fully twice that sum in re •
version.—• Western Daily Press.

Loss OF THE HENRY CLAY.—On Saturday par-
ticulars were received at Lloyd's of the loss of the well-
known Liverpool and New York line of packet ship Henry
Clay, Capt. Caulkins, which took place in a terrificsj 11e °n
