DANUBIAN I:RINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, Sept. 29. —The telegraph has already
conveyed the results of the renewed Moldavian
elections. Of the 90 members of the Moldavian
Divan, 84 are pledged to vote for the Union of the
Principalities under a foreign Prince, while four
of the remaining six are reported to have given in
their adhe ion to the majority subsequent to their
election. From these data an idea of the feeling
of the country can belformed, but it is necessary to
examine the returns of the votes given to each can-
didate, in order fully to appreciate the unanimity
of votes by which the elections were carried. For
this purpose we extract the following from the offi-
cial Gazette of Moldavia :

Prince Stirbey contested Bucharest against two
nephews of the Caimacau, and was rejected—a con-
summation by no means desired or expected by the
ex-Hospodar, who has been obliged to contt.nt
himself with Crajova, for which town his brothel-
Blbesco has also been returned. The ex-Aga Prince
Demetri Ghika, one of the two members elected for
Bucharesr, only gained his election by openly
pledging his "parole cl'hor.neur" to vote for the
union of the Principalities under a foreign prince,
a circumstance pretty significant at Bucharest,
noted as it is for the moderation of its opinions.
At present we have the following fifteen returns
from the districts, which number seventcen in all :
Tergovischt—Predesco (national party), Costesco (Ghika
or Caiwacan's party).
Busco—Vornesco (national party), Pakleano (Ghika
party).

tional party).

pesco-vodavos (Stirbey party).

(national party).

play), Greg. Phillipesco (national party).
Crajova—Stirbey, ex-hospodar; Bibesco, ex-hospod.ir.

tional party.)

ANOTHE'? FEARFUL COLLIERY EXPLO-
SI{_►N NEAR BARNSLEY.

Another of those fearful explosions, which are
generally so destructive to human life, but not
accompaniedby such results intlie present instancce,
occurred in the main pit at Higham Common Col-
lieries, near Barnsley, the property of. Messrs.
Charle3worth, at five minutes past two o'clock on
Wednesday morning last. The retort. was hr and
for several miles around, and until noon hundreds
of people assembled from the neighbouring villager,
anxious to learn the result, naturally expecting it
to be attended by fearful loss of life. It soon be
came known there were but two persons in the pit,
who were engaged as " cupola" attendants, and
these were drawn out alive about 6 O'clock, for-
tunately being only slightly burnt. There Were ten
valuable horses inside, all of which were killedl

cation between tie pits. The explosion was s,
trenindons that it blew the plates and corves aw,,y
from the, immediate vicinity of the pit's mouth, a:10
partly destroyed the conductors. It is suppose]
that it will take three weeks or a month to com-
plete the repairs before work can again b 3 co:n-
menced. Mr. Ainsworth, the under steward, ques-
tioned the two men, after they were drawn out, as
to whether they had been out of their way or could
account for the explosion, but they eith, r could not
or would not say how it occurred. If this explo-
sion had occurred during midday, when all the
hwids were at wo:k, it would have been almost
as serious as the late calamity at Lundhill.—Don-
easter Gazette.
