" Gcntlemen,—l have received with much satisfaction
the address with which you have honoured me, on my
assuming the Government of this country.
" The flattering expressions it contains, with respect
to my services in foreign countries, demand my warmest
acknowledgments ; and I am no less bound to state my
conviction, that her Majesty's Ministers will derive the
highest gratification from the assurance you convey to
me, that the Nonconformists of these countries con-
sider themselves largely indebted to them for the late
extension of the principles of justice and toleration, in
passing the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, and for the peace
and security in which they now enjoy those most valued
properties, transmitted to them by their ancestors, or
created by themselves.'

" As regards myself, Gentlemen, you may be assured
it is my earnest desire 'to administer existing laws with
scrupulous impartiality, and with a full intention to re-
commend such conciliatory changes and improvements as
wry tend at once to secure the peace and prosperity of
Irellnd, and to confirm the power and integrity of tht
United Kingdom.

" Happy,-indeed, shall I be at the close of my admi•
nistration to find, as you aro pleased to predict, confi-
dence superseding distrust, affection displacing aliena-
tion, and the confusion of religious and political strife
settling into social harmony and national prosperity.'
"Your patriotism, Gentlemen, has always been un-
doubted ; but I hail with gratitude the pledge you now
offer, of your continued determination to contribute, by
every means in your power, to promote loyalty to our
most gracious Sovereign, obedience to the laws, and the
extension of mutual forbearance and good-will amongst
all classes of your fellow-subjects.'

THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT THE
HAS WELL COLLIERY.

The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the sufferers
was resumed on Wednesday. The whole day was oc-
cupied in taking the evidence of Hobert Thompson, the
master wasteman of the pit, whose evidence corres-
ponded with that given on the previous day. He said—
The ventilation of the mine could not have been im-
proved, neither,. in his opinion, could anything more
have been done to prevent accident. And Thomas
Emerson Foster, the viewer of the colliery, having given
similar testimony, he said—" I have no ohjection to any
other viewer in the coal trade. Am not aware that Mr.
Mathias Dunn was ever in any way connected with this
pit."

Mr. Marshall said he might recal to the notice of the
Coroner that he had stated the owners had no objection
to any one the Coroner and jury might appoint.
Mr. Foster resumed—My reason fur objecting to Mr.
Dunn is an apprehension—not from a private pique he
has to me—he might do an injury to the owners. Thinks
Mr. Dunn could do me no injury by examining the pit,
as proposed, if he told the truth. Mr. Dunn has been a
viewer. lie is a practical viewer. If I might observe,
he has unfortunately had too many serious accidents in
the mines under his charge.
Mr. Roberts said, " a burnt child dreads the fire," on
which the Coroner remarked that he should allow of no
such observations. Mr. Roberts repeated the expression,
and persisted in making other improper remarks, on
which the Coroner ordered him out of court, but, on
promising to conduct himself properly, he was allowed
to continue the cross-examination.

Mr. Foster—Thinks it would be more satisfactory to
the living, and the friends of the dead, if persons chosen
by themselves, without reference to any pique of mine,
were allowed to examine every part of the pit. It is in
the hands of the coroner and jury whether they think it
necessary for Mr. Mathias Dunn to examine the pit or
not. If they say he should, I have no objection. Should
the Government determine to appoint inspectors of mines
as of factories, I should have no objection myself, but I
do not consider it desirable.

By Mr. Marshall—Am not of opinion that the in-
spectors appointed by Government could have done any-
thing to secure the safety of this mine that I have not
done. Have no reason to believe that there was any
neglect on the part of Williamson, the deputy, who was
killed, to cause this explosion ; on the contrary, I be-
lieve him to have been a very careful man.
At the conclusion of this evidence the room was cleared,
and the jury having consulted together, agreed to ad-
journ ,till :Wednesday, next week ; and it was deter-
mined that the coroner should request Mr. Nicholas
Wood and Mr. George Hunter to examine the mine in
the interval, and report to the jury at their next meeting.
Mr. Roberts applied for Mr. Mathias Dunn to be ap-
pointed, but the jury did not consider it necessary to in-
clude him. Mr. Roberts put it to the coroner several
times, who at last gave a positive refusal ; he intimated
at the same time that Mr. Dunn might, if he thought
proper, accompany the gentlemen appointed by the jury.
The inquest was then adjourned.

GLASS BEADS.—Application having been made to
the Customs' authorities for the delivery of a large parcel
of beads or bugles of glass, the same having been pierced
half way through for the purpose of being formed into
breast pins, brooches, and necklaces, of which articles
large quantities are
i now imported, and sold in the ar-
cades and bazaars n town and country, which had been
entered as 'glass beads" at the duty of 3d. per lb., but
which the examining officers had detained as being liable
to the duty on " flint and cut glass," orders have been
issued fur the goods to be delivered as "glass beads," as
entered, the Board considering that they had been cor-
rectly described by the importers, and directions have
been given to the officers to govern themselves in all fu-
ture importations of the article accordingly.
