LATE COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT INCE.

On Monday Mr. Drillield held an inquest upon the
bodies of seven of the men killed by this accident, at the
W:3l,usley Arms, Ince.
Roger Taylor, who was fireman at the pit when the
accident happened, gave it as his opiniou that the gas
had proceeded from a hidden fall in the roof of the
" g oaf," or old workings.
John Greenough, father of a boy will had died from
inj cries received by the explosion, said that his son told
him that a drawer had " set the gas off" by holding a
naked candle up to the roof.

John Nuttall, a collier, said that they were accustomed
to work with naked candled, and he considered them
perfectly safe. The mine was so well ventilated that the
men were accustomed to work with their shirts on. The
pit was very free from gag, and he could not tell how
the explosion happi2ned.
Mr. Lancaster, the managing partner of Kirkless-hall
Coal Company, stated that there did not appear to be
any damage done to the workings. The brattice cloth
at a place near where it was supposed that the explosion
occurred was not singed, and some candles were found
in their general state.
This witness and an underlooker both attributed the
accident to a fall of roof in the " goat."
The jury, after deliberating for about half an hour,
arrived at the unanimous verdict "That the deceased met
their deaths accidentally in a coal mine by an explosion
of gas, but how that explosion originated there was not
evidence to show," and recommended the 1130 of safety
lamps in place of candles in the Hindley mine in faturd

THE NEW ALDERMAN FOR FARRINGDON
It has already been announced that Mr Alderman
Eagleton proposes, at the next Court of Aldermen, ttt
resign his gown, on account of failing health. A very
large number of gentlemen resident in the ward have
united in signing a requisition to Benjamin S. Phillips,
Esq„ who for 11 years has represented Farringdon
Without in the Common Council, asking that gentleman
to allow himself to be nominated to fill the vacant office,
An opposition has been spoken of, and the name of a
gentleman distinguished for high church principles has
been mentioned as a candidate ; but the large measure
of support already secured to klr. Phillips leaves but
little chance for a rival.

COURT MABTIALAT SHEERNESS. —Yesterday the Watt r
100, 120, flag-ship, Captain Lord Frederick Kerr, fired
a gun and hoisted the union jack as a signal for a general
court-martial to assemble on board, to try a marine of
the name of Cooke, of the Wellesley for stealing a trunk
from the Winchester, lately paid off at Chatham. The
court sat till about 12.30 p.m., when we hear the sem.
te'rice was that the said Cook should lose his three good
counter-stripes and be imprisoned for six months. They
failed to prove that he had stolen the things, although
some were found on him. In defence, he stated that he
had picked them up on the lower deck. He hadee
in the service 19 years, and hitherto had, we believe
borne an unexceptionable character.
