BEAUFORT—Fourt Lives LOST.—Another of those
deplorable and lamentable occurrences which too fre-
quently accompany mining operations, and characterise
the critical and dangerous position of those class of in-
dividuals, who labour to gain their daily bread in this
section of national industry, happened at Beaufort Iron
Works, in one of the mine quarries, or patches, on Tues-
day afternoon, by which the lives of four persons were
sacrificed. The unfortunate party were at that time en-
gaged in pushing up the rubbish tram, for the purpose
of clearing the remains of a " fall," when a piece of
ground, from the strata, lying eight yards above, unex-
pectedly gave way, and fell directly on them, literally
crushing nearly every bone in their bodies, and, in a
moment, depriving them of life. A strict inquiry has
been made, so as to ascertain whether this serious event
was occasioned by any negligence on the part of the
master watchman, and from which it appears there is not
the slightest blame attributable to him, but that it has
been the result of pure accident. The ground was ap-
parently safe, and there was not the slightest indication
of danger. The names of the deceased are Isaac James,
aged 18, Cecilia James, 18 (brother and sister), Charles
Pensham, 21, and Margaret Davies, 18.—Monmouthshire

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 22.—Buyers have
not been so eager this week in their purchases, and the
total quantity disposed of since our last report is unim-
portant ; very full prices have, however, been obtained,
and importers are by no means anxious sellers. For rum
there is rather more inquiry, and former rates have been
paid for the purchases made.—Bristol Mercury.
Several of our herring boats have arrived during
the week from the North Foreland, after a successful
season, one having made 430 L by the voyage, and most
of them made from 200/. to 300/. They will soon pre-
pare for the mackerel season off Plymouth. Nothing
has been done with the small boats at home. The weather
hes been more favourable for trawl-fishing, and soles
have been retailed at from 7d. to 11d. per lb.—Brighton
Herald.
