There is a rumour in circulation, that Sir CHARLES'
STUART, our late Ambassador at Paris, is on the point
of proceeding to Lisbon, for a specials object of more
than common interest. We mean that he is to mega•
ciate with King JOHN VI. a recognition of the independ-
ence of Brazil. Mr. CANNING undoubtedly has made
a judicious choice of his negotiator on the occasion, in-
asmuch as Sir C. STUART was our Minister at Lisbon
during the greater portion of the war in the Peninsula,
when lie obtained a thorough knowledge of the leading
characters and parties among the Portuguese, rendered
important services to the Government, and had the good
foi tune to make himself generally esteemed.—Times.

ROBBERY BY A URBAN'''.
ap)%pefaarry
anclien,nwpft.:Vinticated"fnonrgrobbing her master, Mr;
J. Powell, of Great Coram-street, of various articlesi
his property. It appeared the prisoner had been in pro.
secutor's service about nine months, and left his harm;
in December last, without any suspicion being'attathed
to her, although the articles were missed before she
left, and it was not until the prisoner had been appre.
hended on another charge, that the property sv.rs traced
to have been stolen by her. Two pawnbrokers um.
duced the articles pledged at their house, but could not
swear to the prisoner's person. The officer who took
'her into custody said, on searching her bos, the key of
which she gave to him, he found the duplicates.
The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury instar,tir
pronounced her Guilty.
There was a second indictment against the inisfe,.,
which was not proceeded on, and the Court ordered
that inquiry should be made to get her into the Ilk fuge
for the Destitute.
John Cooksley, aged 43, was indicted for stealing
three turkeys, and three guinea fowls, on the 22J of
December last, from the parish of Teddington, the
property of Mr. Stephen Keene.
The prisoner was stopped by a watchman, in a lane,
at three o'clock in the morning, at which time be was
carrying a sack filled with the above property which he
threw over a paling ; they appeared to have recently
been killed, and was sworn to by Dawson, the bailiff%
belonging to Mr. $. Keene, as the property of that
Gentleman.

The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and the Jury
found him Guilty.
The RECORDER ordered the prisoner to be called up
for judgment, and sentenced 'him to be transported
for seven years.
Yesterday, James Macarthy was indicted for stealing
two'sheets, the property of Captain John Knight.
Mrs. Knight, a Lady of very prepossessing appear.
ante, stated that she saw the prisoner take the sheets,
which were hanging on a line in the garden.
John Badden proved that he heard an alarm, and
seized the prisoner, with one of the sheets under his arm,
in less than five minutes after the robbery.
The prisoner said that he was not guilty, but did not
give any account how he came by the sheet.— Acquitted.
Mary Eggington, a woman of most respectable air.
pearance, was indicted for child-stealing.
It will be in the recollection of our readers that this
Lady was charged with decoying a poor Irish woman,
named Burke, into the Sun public-house, in Gate. street,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, and making off with her child.—.
A full account of the transaction appeared a short time
since in our Bow-street Report. But it appearing
that all the witnesses had said that the prisoner was eat
the guilty person, though they appeared to swear that
she was so, Mr. ALLEY, who conducted the pro►ect-
tion, admitted that the charge could not be supported,
and the prisoner was Acquitted.
OLD COURT-YESTERDAY.

Cornelius Wood, aged 20, was indicted for 14°13611
Mary Lyle, spinster, in the parish of St. Mary, Islington.
Mr. LAW itated the case for the prosecution.
Mary E) re, a respectably dressed young woman, stated,
that on the 7th December last she lodged in Cleveland•
street, with a Mrs. Green, with whom she went to
Finchley on that day, from whence they were returns,
about. five o'clock the same evening, when Mrs. Green
was taken ill, and they atilt into the White Lion tow
quit* whether there were any stages passing ?‘ They
were told there was a cart going to town, and both
wept into it. The cart was driven by James Day, and
the prisoner was also in it. She did not know either of
them before. They stopped at the Crown, at Holloway,
and asked her to think, which she refused. They then
drove to the Cock, where, at their request, she timed
them to half a pint of gin. Day then said he lived
close by, and would go no farther. Witness complained
of the imposition, and she and Mrs. G. walked towards
London. Another cart overtook them, and they asked
the driver to take them to London ? A man from be.
hind them called to him not to take them, as they were
not 'going his way : upon which the cart drove on. She
recollected the voice to be that of one of the men who
drove them from Finchley. He soon after overtook
them, and said the man who brought them horn
Finchley had taken them out of their way ; but he would
take them over the fieldsto the Highgate-road, where
stages were always passing. She thanked him kindly,
And they went with him into the fields, and up a lane,
which was so dirty that they wanted to turn back, but
lie urged them to proceed, saying they would soon be
oat of it. They came to a gap and a bog ; the prisoner
helped her over, and left. Mrs. Green behind. The Pri-
soner then made an attempt on her person; she made
all the resistance in her power, and cried out for assist-
ance. He struck her violently on the forehead, knocked
her down, and accomplished his purpose. The witness
detailed the particulars of the assault, which we are
precluded from publishing. Heretofore she had given
her evidence with remarkable composure and consist-
ency,. but it was now with considerable difficulty for
tome time that her testimony could be extracted ; the
result was that she positively swore to the technicalities
required by law to constitute the capital offence. Mrs.
Green was unable to come to her assistance, but cried
out for help. The prisoner left her in a state of exhaus-
tion, and jumped over a hedge. She had a basket with
two handkerchiefs, half-a-sovereign, and six shillingsin
lite which the prisoner took with him. At length she
fat over the hedge, and the prisoner threw the basket
back and ran away. On examining the basket she
found her money was gone. She went to a mud cot-
tage, from which a man came with them and put thus
an the road, where they met a Gentleman, who, seeing
them crying, inquired what was the matter? and upon
hearing their story, conducted them home, but did not
go in. On her return home witness told everything
that had happened to Ann Fossard.
On her cross-examination, the witness was very con-
sistent, and said she would die in the certainty that the
prisoner was the person by whom she had been violated.
Jane Green, who was with the last witness, cot-
roborated her evidence in every particular; and Ann
Fossard corroborates that part of her testimony which
related to her having communicated what bad occurred
on her return home, and as to her state at that time.
Other witnesses were called, amongst whom were the
Officers, the proprietor of the White Lion, the ostlers at
the Inns on the road, the cottager who at last put them
in the road, and two persons who lodged in the house
with the presecutrix ; the whole of them corroborated
her statement, as far as they had any knowledge of the
transaction. Day, the carter, also proved that the pri-
soner parted from him and the femalei at the Plough'
All the witnesses underwent the most rigid crose-ess,

bREADPUL EIPLOVON AT MMDLETOk
COLLIERY, NEAR LEED&

FROM THE MUDS INTIILLIGENCIR.
LEEDS, JANUARY 13.
One of the m a tremendous explosions took place at
Middleton Colliery, near this town, the property, of C.
J. Brandling, Esq. M.P. about seven o'clock last even-
ing, that has ever been known to occur in this neigh-
bonrhood. The report was as loud as that of a cannon,
and produced such an effect upon the various parts of
the pit, seemingly, to one of the persons who was em-
ployed in it at the time, as though the whole was falling
in with a dreadful crash. 'Of course, as the whole of the
men who were employed in the immediate vicinity
where it happened, have fallen a prey to its violence,
except the few who were taken to our Infirmary about
two o'clock this morning (and they were in such a state
as not to give any precise account of the circumstance),
it cannot be ascertained, with any degree of absolute
certainty, how it was occasioned ; but we have collected
the following particulars from the spot, which develope
the only rational means that can be imagined as the
cause of its occurrence. It is customary, after excavating
a part of the pit, about fifteen yards in length, to prop
the roof by supporters till they perform the like opera-
tion on a similar quantity of coal adjoining ; then to re-
move the props from the first allotment, securing only
that! part of the pit nearest the place where labourers
are employed. In the spaceleft by the excavation the
foul air collects, and it is supposed that this old strata
bas fallen in, and driven the combustible element
with such force towards the spot where the men were
employed, as to cause it to take fire and explode.—
, Had this event taken place when the necessary pre-
caution of having the safety guards upon the lamps
was in operation, it would have produced no such effect;
but it was entirely owing to the imprudent conduct of
some of the unfortunate individuals themselves, in
keeping their lamps exposed to. the air, which was
known to be the case yesterday. The truth of this re-
mark is confirmed by the fact, that the lamps have
wince been used in the pit with the wire guards, and are
found perfectly secure. It is idjd that there were two
shocks, and that more injury was sustained from what
is called the black damp, or after damp, than was re-
ceived from the one which immediately preceded it.— I
The men were burnt by the. former, and by the latter
suffocated. The pit is one of those which is entered by
what is called a day-hole, and proceeds under a hill on
a level with the surface of the ground at its entrance,
for nearly a mile, where there is a perpendicular de-
scent of seventy-five yards; at the bottom of which the
pit branches off in different directions. In one of these
branch roads the accident happened, and some of the
men were found laid in groups of five or six, one upon
another ; and in other places more, ath 2-011 t forty yards
from the pit bottom, or the place Where they would
have to ascend to make their escape: some were 200,
and others 300 yards from this point. There were ten
men in more distant parts of the pit, who, though they
felt the effects of the shock, received no further injury
than that of being knocked down by the violence of the
explosion. The number of men who were killed on the.
occasion is twenty-four, and we have endeavoured to
collect their names and ages with as much precision as
the present confused state of things would permit. The
following a, e their names, and what other circumstances
we could learn respecting their families:
John Procktor (aged &V, wife and three children.
James Wood (23), his wife was brought to bed yesterday.
Benjamin Wood, jun. (13).
Benjamin Wood, sen. (45), father of tictwo former; wife and
three children.
Joshua Liversedge (45), wiiesand ten aildrcns
Samuel Ramsden (12).
Calita Ramsden (14).
John Ramsden (90).
William Heald (18).
William Wood (35), wife and child.
Joseph Dixon (8).
Sanderson Handford ; this young man would have completed
his eighteenth year to-morrow.
Samuel Crumack (10).
Benjamin Broadhead (40), wife and one child.
George Wright (27), wife and three children.
Luke Norminton (27), wife and two children.
James Drury (1s).
Richard Foster (5) ; this poor little fellow was taken out alive
in a mangled state, and expired at three o'clock this morning.
James Heald (14).
George Ambler (8).
Peter Hamel (33), wife.
James Foster (e).
Joseph Haigh (40), wife and child, and John Ramsden (20), are
yet in the pit, and supposed to be dead.
George Ambler (8), both his thighs broke ; John Liversedge (20),
muck burnt; Samuel Hewitt (15), skull fractured; and George
Hewitt (22), much bruised; were taken to the Infirmary about
two o'clock this morning, and there are some hopes entertained of
their recovery.
The distress that throughout the neighbour.
hood cannot be conceived, In some families two, and
in others three haie fallen, in the general wreck ; and
while the friends of the deceased were waiting at the
pit's mouth, with breathless anxiety, to know the fate,
of their relatives, the heart-rending cries of widows and
fatherless children, presented such a scene as beggars
all description. Nor has the appearance of things much
changed for the better ; sorrow appears depicted in
every countenance, and the whole neighbourhood seems
to join in the common grief.
The friends of Haigh and Ramsden, who are yet in
the pit, are labouring under the most poignant feelings
of despair, sometimes but slightly relieved by a faintly
glimmering ray of hope, that their destiny may possibly
not be eternally fixed. The utmost exertions were used
to rescue them ! and Mr. Blenkinsop, Mr. Nicholson,
and a number of others connected withlthe colliery, were
incessantly employed till five o'clock this morning,
when the fire reached such a pitch as to render it unsafe
to proceed any farther. since then, the pit has been,
in a great degree, in a halving state, and they are
adopting measures to put a stop to its progress, which
may be effected in a day or two, or may continue a
much longer time.
It is almost impossible to describe the appearance of ,
the unfbrtunate sufferers: several of them have broken I
limbs ; such as were most affected by the first blast,
have all the skin burnt off their faces, and the bodies
of others are perfectly black. One young man appears
to have been fighting against the flames upon his body,
as, at the time he was found, his hand was full of flesh.
Before we dismiss the lunation of this melancholy
event,'we venture to suggest the propriety of some of our
more opulent fellow-townsmen, immediately setting on
foot a subscription for the relief of the bereaved widows
and fatheiless children, of whom they are ten of the
former, and twenty-five of the latter.
The Wakefield Journal, received this morning, attri-
butes the fatal accident to one of the men having in-
cautiously taken off the top of his safety-lamp, when an
almost instantaneous explosion was the consequence.

By the death of C. M. Chee:e, Esq. a vacancy has
occurred in the representation of the borough of Cambridge.

. TILE DIORAMA.
. ,
When we first SAW the Diorimsi, we felt cciniinced
tb It it would become one of the mast popilail as it Wig
one of the most splendid exhibitions of the anetiopolis.
In this we have not been disappointed, and crowds of
holiday visitors, as well as the admiteis of the fine arts
daily visit the Diorama, to see the view of the interior
of Chartres Cathedral and Brest harbour; the picto-
rial illusion is almost magical, and the juvenile visitors
aye quite sceptical as to their being really pictures.
The view of Trinity Chapel, Canterbury, %% bleb at-
tracted such crowds last season, has, we find, been
tranterred to Edinburgh; and is- noticed in the follow-
ing just and appropriate terms in the Caledonian Met.
cum of Monday laste—g, The extraordinary effect of
this picture surpasses all description. It is the grandest
and most successful effort ever atte.npted to give form
and substance to the representation of the painter, and
the powers of perspective are so ally managed, and
the illusion so perfect, that the spectator imaAines he
is standing at the end of the Chapel, and that its ma,-
sive columns, illuminated windows, Gothic arches, and
1 the long aisle of 180 feet, with irs vaulted Joni, are'
Laetually before him, while the soft and solemn tones
lof a church organ is heard in the distance, and which
'most effectually renders the deception perfect. In fact,
this picture may- justly be considered t'A.e triumph of
art and pictorial illusion."

POLICE INTELLiGEACE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

estherine lifiCobJ,an old Irishwoman, who has been committed
about thirty times to prison during the last ten years, was charged
with having .deliberately walked up stairs to the second floor of a
:louse, and cleared away a great quantity of valuable clothes. Mrs.
M' Cabe was secured.
In the „Fastice-room she cried and swore, and spoke in the most
affectionate terms to the LORD Maros. who, notsvithstanding, com-
mitted her for three months to Bridewell.
GUILDHALL.
H. Killion, errand-boy to Mr. Pearson, upholsterer, in London-
wall, was charged with stealing some pieces of brass rod, the pro-
perty of his master. The boy confessed the fact, and said he had
sold them as old brass to Mr. Russell, of Bread-street-hill.
Yesterday, Mr. Russell and his daughter attended, when the for-
mer said he had been a stationer and vellum-binder for t►irty years,
and courted the strictest inquiry into his character. Me daughter
declared she purchased the metal, and inquired of the boy where he
came from. Her father was out all day.
Mr. Pearson being anxious that the receiver should be punished
as the worst offender of the two, the boy Wootton was admitted
as a witness, and swore that Mr. Russell was in the shop at the time
of the tale, and questioned him.
Mr. Russell and his daughter still persisted he was not at borne,
and that a fair price had been given, as be could only sell the metal
again at about Id. per lb. more than he had paid for it.
The worthy Alderman, however, committed him for trial, but
he was admitted to bail.
