LIVLOSION OF JAR/4.11,1MT' AT ST. HELEN'S.—
Shortly after five o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last, the •
floalipit ltd. 13, belotiging to Messrs. Turner and Evans, Hay-
dock, near St. Helen's, caught are, and a terrik explosion took
place, tearing up the gearing at the mouth of the pit. The night.
mea had all jOst arrived at the top of the pit, and a considerable
number of the dayman had descended : in fact, one or more of
them were suspended by the rope at the time the explosion oc-
clirted. Had it happened a few minutes later, about forty would
hate been in the pit. As aeon as they were enabled they went
down to see the extent of the mischief, when they discovered
dine dead bodies, amongst whom was that of a boy, who was
dreadfully Mutilated. 'ten others were got up alive, some
of whorti are shockingly btlrnt, and are not expected to re-
edier. The real tause of the casualty has not yet been ascertained,
bat it is strongly conjectured that a boy, who had only recently
becti employed in the pit, had carelesslY gone to some newly It/c-
-iliated part with an uncovere I light, thus causing the explosion.
The following ate the Pilules of those killed: Robert Valentine,
aged 20, single: Edward Valentine, 14 ; Richard Urmston, SI,
married, three children ; Richard Ilrmston, 11 John Harrison.
