seriously injured ; this left 142 men remaining in

the pit was set on fire by the explosion, and tho

feared, to cut off all chance of reaching that part

Some idea of the fearful nature of the fire may be
gathered when we state that the flames ascending
up the air-shaft, 220 yards d'-,ep, reach more than
20 yards above the top, illuminating the country
for a distance around. Telegraphic messages have
been sent to Sheffield and this place for a number
of fire-engines, some of which have now arrived.
The cause of the explosion is as yet involved in
mystery. The overlooker states that when be went

Lord C. HAMILTON asked her Majesty's Govern-
ment whether any orders or instructions had been
issued to the British authorities at Hong Kong, or to
the admiral in command of the squadron in the Chinese
waters, suspendirg or superseding the directions given
by Earl Grey in November, 1847, whereby offensive
operations against the Chinese were peremptorily for-
bidden without previous sanction from this country ;

LATEST N E WS.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
(Second Edition) says :
" There is every reason to suppose Russia has
already offered assistanco to China. It is also
declared that a new secret treaty was signed be-
tween Russia and Persia within the last eight
weeks. It is known from despatches that have
reached Paris considerable forces have been de-
spatched lately towards the Chinese and Persian
frontiers."

The Paris correspondent of the Tiared (second
edition) says :

" The basis of the pending negotiations may be
modified by the last news from Teheran ; but,
notwithstanding the delay, it is hoped that an
arrangememt is still within the limits of pro-
bability."

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx,

Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed with a quiet aspect, and
Prices of all descriptions were id. per lb. dearer
than this day se'nnight. The sales were 6,000
bales. The Railway Share Market was steady, and
prices of all the leading stocks have advanced.
The operations of the London, Manchester, and
Foreign Warehousemans' Company, which was
established about twelve months ago, do not appear
to have been so successful as was anticipated, since
its managers have deemed it prudent to relinquish
all branches of trade except those connected with
cabinet and leather ware, glass goods and jewellery
--tbis department is the last into which they have
entered.

COUNTY OFFICERS' (IRELAND) FEES.

Capt. ARCHDALL asked the Attorney-General for
Ireland a question relating to fees received by county
officers in Ireland 1

• Mr. FITZGERALD said that this was a question
with which the Legislature bad nothing to do. It was
a question of law as to the legality of the fees. He was
inclined to believe that some of them were illegal, and
all parties requiring redress must apply to a court of
law.

CHINA.

Earl GREY said, in the debate that was about to take
place on this subject, it was important to know whether
the lorcha Arrow was legally entitled to carry British
colours. In conformity with the provisions of the Mer-
chant Shipping Act the Arrow certaiclyconid not be consi-
dered as so entitled. Ha also wished to know whether
any orders had been issued by her Majesty in council
sanctioning the two colonial ordinances declaring war,
which had been printed in the papers lately laid before
their lordships; and, if so, what was the date of the pro-
clamation of such order in the colony ?
Earl GRANVILLE said the colonial ordinances had
been confirmed, through the Secretary of State, by her
Majesty. The first was passed in the colony before the
Merchant Shipping Act came into force there. Cer-
tair ly it was necessary that in any act for altering the
provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act the colonial
ordinance should be confirmed by her Majesty in CJUII•
cil, and such amendment should be proclaimed in
the colony before it could be carried into effect ; but, in
the opinion of the legal advisers of the colonial office,
this particular ordinance was notUf that description, and
could not be looked upon as an amendment of the Mer-
chant Shipping Act. He did not deny that the Arrow
was not in the possession of British owners, but it was
in the possession of aliens who held long leases of land in
a British colony, and who had a right to protection. The
power of granting protection to aliens rested entirely
with the colonial legislature themselves, and nut with
the British Government.

The Earl of DERBY said the motion which he in-
tended to move on Tuesday next would express regret
that hostile measures bad been taken in China in conse-
quence of a dispute arising out of measures adopted by
her Maje_tsty's Government ; also that the present time was
exceedingly unfavourable for forcing upon the Chinese
measures of reparation, and that, in the opinion of this
house, hostile acts ought not to have been taken with-
out the express sanction of her Majesty, and that no
sufficient justification had been afforded for such hostile
proceedings.
London, England, 1857-02-20

PURTHER PARTICULARS.

The fire began to blaze from the air-shaft about
4, o'clock, and sent up an immense number of
sparks and pieces of burning wood, which had a
terr;ble appearance. About 7 o'clock the pro-
prietors and managers of the pit hgd ..nonference,
to cfnr up olio moults ofthe—arbrking
shafts with planks and (artb, as tbe-only way of
stopping the draught up the air-mine.and subduing
the fire. The plan was attended with partial suc-
cess, and about half-past 8 o'clock the flames ceased
to ascend above the surface of the ground.
Previous to this several miners had entered the
pit, and penetrated some distance alony, the main
tramway, but found the workings so full of sulphur
as to preclude all entrance into them. The stop-
pings by which the workings were ventilated had
been blown down, and the greatest havoc made
with the works generally, so that there is not the
slightest expectations of any of the miners who are
yet in the pit being rescued alive. Twelve or thir-
teen dead bodies were picked up in the main tram-
ways, and carried to the bottom of the shaft, but it
was found so urgent that the mouths of the pit
should be closed, that they were allowed to remain
there. Several of the miners taken out alive are
dangerously injured.
The pit has only been in work two years, and
was considered one of the best-ventilated mines for
miles around. It is supposed that a fall in some
part of the works has led to the explosion.
It is expected that some days will elapse before
the fire will be sufficiently extinguished to permit
the pit to be entered.

Trump, aged 29, a fever patient in St. Mary's Hospital,
of which she had formerly been a nurse, was found in
the closet covered with blood. She had eluded the vigi-
lance of the attendants, and, from her knowledge of the
establishment, procured a knife, with which she had in-
flicted several severe wounds on different parts of her
body, amongst others cutting out her tongue. The
medical officers did all they could to sustain life, but she
expired in the course of the afternoon from the excessive
hemorrhage.

"Dr. Tickford is known toEngiirsh refd6; by his frequent practi-

time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medt-
sal reader. We trust this may net be the last, if ho shttll detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,

plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, thou,,th it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the

PETITIONS.

Petitions were also presented in favour of the aboli•
tion of the paper duties ; against the Sale of Beer Bill;
from the medical officers of unions for redrass of their
grievances ; from Manchester, against the Literary and
Scientific Institution Bill, &c.

Sir E. Perry against givirg c ;rapensation to the Lon-
don proctors,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in supporting the bill,
excused himself Er not supporting Mr. Coliier's plan, as
he had done when out of office, on the plea that the
transfer of wills to the common law courts had met with
so little support from the house, that the prospect of
success was hopeless.
Mr. HEADLAM approved generally of the bill.
Mr. CAIRNS also approved of the principle, but he
could not see why disputed wills could not be tried by
the judge of the Wills Court, instead of being handed
over to a court of common law. He also objec'wd to tak-
ing appeals away from the 'committee of Privy Council
and giving it to the House of Lords.
Mr. AYRTON, Mr. ADAMS, and Mr. WALPOLE
severally made a few remarks on he propriety of dealing
liberally with the proctors, after which the bill was read
