THE LATE EXPLOSION AT LUNDHILL

SATURDAY EVENING.

Since yesterday 10 more bodies have been ex-
humed, making the tot al number now recovered 83.
The first of the 10 was recovered yesterday ev,n-
ing, after onr despatch left, and could not be iden-
tified. The remainder have been brought to bank
this afternoon. Eight have been identified as the
bodies of the following miners :—Richard Pullin,
of Wombwell • Edward G irbutt, of Lundhill, and
his two sons, William and John Garbutt ' • John
Grinashaw, of Wombwell, brother of Joseph Grim-
shaw, whose remains were recovered yesterday ;
John Russell, of Hemingfield ; William Maugham,
of Wath ; and Philip Dart, of Broomhill, "tram-
mer" to Maugham. The other body, making up
the ten, could not be identified ; it had been greatly
mutilated by the violence of the explosion.
Nearly the whole of the above-mentioned bodies
were found in the third boardgate, or main road
on the north side of the pie, and within a few yards
of each other. It is known that they were all
working within three or four yards of the place
where they were found.
At 3 o'clock yesterday there were 30 bodies lying
in the reception-shed ; 11 of these were interred
yesterday evening, and the remainder this afternoon.
The following 11—i.e., Jas. Edward Pollard, Win.
Illingworth, Edward Simmonds, Joseph Granshaw,
James and Charles Walker, Richard awl Thomas
Wilkinson, John Harper and Amos James, with
five others not known, were conveyed for inter-
ment to Darfield church this afternoon, followed
by a large number of their relatives and friends
and numerous spectators, many of them weeping
with great bitterness, and forming a very mournful
cortege. An incident occurred on the way which
created a very painful sensa ion. Among the
mourners was a young married woman named Ann
Brookes, sister to the widow of Amos James.
Brookes was taken suddenly ill on the road, and
died there before any assistance could be rendered
to her. Her body was removed to the house of
Mr. Hinchhold, publican, airfield, where it re-
mains to await the coroner's inquisition. It is be-
lieved (but not positively known) that she was
labouring under disease of the heart, but that death
was accelerated by grief and agitation on account
of the melancholy fate of her brother-in-law, Amos
James.

Though the work of clearing away the falls pro-
ceeds more slowly than it was at first hoped, we
understand tint the different relays of men work
with the greatest vigour and good-will, each relay
striving to outdo the other in the amount of work
and the number of bodies which it recovers.

Some few of the men, with the greatest desira to
continue at the work, have been compelled to re-
linquish it, from the effects of the impure attnos•
phere. The great majority, however, suffer but
little inconvenience, and stick to their disagreeable
and dangerous task with most praiseworthy zeal.
The further the work of clearance proceeds the
greater are the evidences of the almost unparalleled
violence of this explosion. On the north side of the
pit, more especially, the strata and working appa-
ratus are found to be torn and dashed to an almost
incredible degree, proving, if the violence of the
explosion is any criterion as to the quantity of gas
in the pit at the time of its occurrence, that the
influx or accumulation of gas, from whatever cause,
must have been very great.
The bodies present the appearance, when found,
of having died almost instantly, and the miners
who are engaged in the work of clearance ridicule
the idea that any of those who have perished were
alive when the shafts were closed, a few hours after
the explosion.
Messrs. Nicholas Wood, Woodhouse, and Elliott,
three of the superintending engineers, met at the
pit this morning, with Mr. C. Morton, the Govern-
ment inspector. Mr. Elliott descended and exa-
mined the pit as far as practicable. The engineers
approved the proceedings of the views, and gave
directions for the continuance of the work, after
which they adjourned until next Saturday.

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SHIP, DREADNOUGHT.—The
number of admissions last week was 39 ; out-patients,
25_; total, 64.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD.—A
very sad accident ocuurred in the dockyard on Saturday
morning. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, being
in dock, a party of six seamen belonging to her were en-
gaged in cleaning her copper, being on a temporary stage
on the side of the ship. Unfortunately, the supports of
the stage gave way, and the whole of the men were pre-
cipitated into the dock, from a height of 15 feet. Three
of the poor fellows received injuries which necessitated
their immediate removal to Haslar Hospital—they are
Frat,&s ltobinscn, whose thigh was broken and elbow
fractured ; P. Perry, ankle dislocated ; and f. Hayward,
small bone of leg broken. Toe other three men, who
riltbouqh they received very severe injuries, were G.
Merrett, J Jeffrey, and J. Boulder. Dr. Allen, staff-
surgeon of the dockyard, and Dr. Elliott, assistant-sur-
geon, rendered the moot prompt and efficient assistance to
the poor fellows.

extraordinarily efficacious in Curing Erysipelas.--Mr.

disorders for several years, and had recourse to every
known remedy for the cure of the same, but without
success ; as a dunk). sossort he tried Holloway's oint-
ment and pills, which were, as usual, signally beneficial,
for he was entirely cured itt five weeks, to the astonish-
ment of all who had beheld his sufferings, and to the
infinite delight of his family and friends. Sold by all
