THE LATE EXPLOSION AT LuNDHILL.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

Since 12 o'clock yesterday no less than 24 bodies have
been recovered. Four of them were brought out during
Mr. Webster's shift, from 4 to 8 o'clock yesterday even-
ing ; eight more were sent to bank during the shift of
Mr. W. P. Maddison, from 8 to 12 p.m. yesterday ; six
at the conclu-ton of Mr. Potter's shift, at 8 o'clock this
morning ; and six more during Mr. Brown's shit, which
terminated at 12 o'clock. The total number now re-
covered is 73, and it is expected that many more will
be recovered during the next few days.
Of the 24 bodies recovered since 12 o'clock yesterday
16 have been identified by peculiarities of dress. Their
names are :—E Imund Knowles, of Hemingfield, aged
30 years ; Edward Trainer, of the same place, aged 23
years ; James Pollard, of Wombwell, aged 19 years ;
William Illingworth, of Lundhill, aged 32 vers (a
deputy, or fire-trier) ; Edward Simmonds, alias Fish-
man, of Lundhill, aged 11 yews ; Joseph Griwabaw, of
Wombwell ; John Hobson, cf Lundhill ; Edward Pol-
lard, of Wombwell ; James Walker, Richard Wilkin-
son, John Harper, and Thomas Wilkinson, of Lundhill;
Charles Walker, of Wombwell; John Phillips, George
Woofinden, and Amos James, of West Melton.
The remaining eight are in a very deoomposed and
mutilated state, and had no articles of dress upon them
by which they aould be identified.'
Near the body of Hobson, and in part of the trousers
which bad been torn from his body by the violence of
the explosion, was found his watch. It is a silver one,
and the exterior was completely blackened by lying in
aid water and filth, but it was otherwise in a perfect
state. The hands pointed to 12.17, from which it is sup-
posed to have stopp-d at the moment of the explosion.
The inner case of a silver watch which had belonged to
Joseph Griinshaw was found near his body. It was
identified by the initials. A search was made for the re-
mainder of the watch, but it could not be found. The
watch bad no doubt been broken by the explosion.

Nearly the whole of the bodies mentioned above have
been recovered from different parts of the boardgateß,
the falls preventing the banks or workplaces from being
penetrated as yet. Those brought out last were taken
up on the ends of the boardgates adjacent to the levels
on the north side.

There are at this time no less than 30 bodies lying io
the reception shed, but arrangements have been made
for interiiog a number of them this aftErnoon and the
remainder will be buried to-morrow.

The large falls around the shafts have now been so far
removed as to restore the currents to a great extent and
render the roads and boardgates quite passable. The
miners are working vigorously at the removal of the
falls in the north boardgates.
The engineers meet again to-morrow (Saturday).

ARTS TREASURES EXHIBITION.

MANCHESTER, MAY 8.

Though the weather is dull, cold, and generally unfa-
vourable to outdoor amusement, the attendance at the
Exhibition still sho .es a daily tendency to increase. On
Teursday about 3001. was taken at the doors in half-
crown admissions, and 300 season tickets were disposed
of, of which number about 50 were those at two guineas.
From all sources, therefore, the receipts again amounted
to within a few pounds of 8001. By the period fixed for
the termination of the half-crown days there is little
doubt but that nearly two-fifths of the whole outlay will
have been secured. Should that be the case the results
in a pecuniary point of view will be the most gratifying,
as the shilling days, of which there are 100 to come, are
expected to prove the main source of revenue. The at-
tendance yosterby showed no diminution ; on the con-
trary, as towards the afternoon the day cleared, there
was an immense influx of visitors, of whom about one-
third paid at the doors. As the exact numbers are not
ascertained till night, we cannot yet say what the pecu-
niary results of the day have been, but that they have
net fallen short of the day previous is most certain, and
we believe, with reg.ird to the sale of season tickets, the
proceeds have been even greater. Perhaps among other
items we may add that the sale of catalogues continues
to average daily about 1,800, which of itself leaves a fair
profit to the managers, and is one of the many little per-
nutrient sources of receipts which tell up considerably at
the end of each week.

THE CHANCERY-LANE AND FETTER-LANE IMPROVE-
MENTS.—Yetiterday, by direction of the City Commfs-
sioners of Sewers, Mes-re. Pullen and Son, auctioneers,
di-pesed, by public auction, of the building material-, and
fixtures of the last two ancient-looking houses, Nos.
114 and 115, Chancery-lane, near the Law Institu eon.
which remained to be pulled down, in order to com-
plete the improvements which have been so long in
progress in this thoroughfare. As soon as the mate-
rials are removed the site will be occupied by build-
ings of a first-class character, and set back in a line
with the other newly-erected building, in order that the
thoroughfare may be widened.
ALLEGED CHILD MIIRDER.—An inquest was held
on Thursday, at the Board room of Newington Work-
house, on the body of an infant, which Mary Read, the
mother, had taken to a police-office, in a bundle on
to
Tuesday, where she voluntarily delivred herself up
answer a robbery. She stated that the child was born
on board of the Holyhead packet, as she was coming
from Ireland, and that it was born dead. Sbe appeared
to take great care of the dead infant. The body of the
child, when examined, bore many marks of violence, and
the inquest was adjourned to allow of inquiries in
Ireland.
TIE GOVERNMENT DOCK AT CARDIFF.—It i 8 stated
to be the intention of the Government to form a dock at
Cardiff, for the exclusive use of the vessels of the British
navy. A surveyor has been engaged in inspecting a
portion of ground adjacent to the tidal harbour, for the
purpose above-named. It is said that the vast require-

of their own stores, rather than incur the extra ex ense
of transit either by sea or land. Cardiff is easy of ac-
.;ass, and men-of-war can coal there and proceed direct
• to foreign stations without loss of time.
