Three colliers met their death on Monday last, by an
explosion of foul air, at the Nan-y-glo iron works, Wales.
WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF THE CLERGY.—The an-
nual meeting of the society for the relief of the widow`
and orphans of the clergy for this archdeaconry will tales
place, in this town, on Thursdly.
The Watch Committee have ordered three of Mr.
Whitworth's sweeping machines; and we may expect to
see them in operation in Castle-street in the course of s
fortnight.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, while the mai
were at work in the slate-quarry at Delc bole, Cornwall, 8
cliff gave way, and buried the workmen underneath; four
men were killed, and two slightly injured.
A public dinner will take place at the Monks Ferri
Hotel to-morrow, which is given to the gentlemen vlb:11

Mn. ISAAC'S CONCERT AT THE AMPHITIIIVi".°-tlifl
It will be seen by an advertisement in our colon," ott
day, that a concert will be given at the Amphitheatr?
the 27th August, at which a phalanx of leading "lent
English and Foreign, will assist. The orchestra Will be
a full one ; and the lovers of music may confidently expect

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. BENJAMIN WEBSTER.-011
Saturdly night the gentlemen connected with the Hay-
market Theatre establishment, the comedians, authors,
&c., presented the lessee, Mr. B. Webster, with an ele-
gant epergne, weighing 85 ounces, manufactured by
Messrs. Ernanuels, of Hanover-square, as a mark of their
regard for his public and professional worth.

WARRINGTON REGATTA.—This regatta will take
place on Thursday next. A meeting connected with the
event was held last week, when it was proposed to post-
pone the regatta until next year, in consequence of the
melancholy event at Eastham ; but it was finally resolved
that it should take place the day after to-morrow, as ori-
ginally fixed upon.
CHEAP TRIP PER RAILWAY.—We have had dreg;
trips from Liverpool to London on various occasions, and
they have been highly approved of by the various travel-
lers thereby ; but the first cheap trip from London to Li-
verpool and back, will take place, we perceive, in the mid-
dle of August. The hotel and lodging-house keepers mat
look for a harvest if this fine weather continues, of which
there is every probability.

OLDHAM-STREET SCOTCH CHURCH.—A motion iS at
present before Vice-chancellor Wigram relating to th 6
power of certain trustees of a Scotch chapel in Oldham-
street, Liverpool, to restrain the minister and the rest of
the trcstees from acting in the exercise of their respective
duties connected with the chapel, in consequence of the
minister having had his licence withdrawn by the Presby-
terian Church of Scotland, upon the ground of his adhe-
sion to what is now known by the name of the "Free
Church of Scotland." Counsel are to be heard on the
subject to-day.

AMERICAN Ice.—We have visited Mr. Dean's ice-
cellars, in Baltic-buildings, Redcross-street, and were
much astonished at the quantity of the article, in large
and pellucid blocks, which he has imported, and the
manner of keeping it. His present stock is rapidly di-
minishing—not by melting from the warmth of the at-
mosphere, which has a very slight and almost impercep-
tible effect upon it,—but by selling, from the increasing
demands of customers. As we have, in another column,
given some interesting particulars of the getting of this
new and useful article of import, so acceptable at this
season,—not only for cooling and healthy drinks, but for
the preservation of meats,—we must defer some notice 9f
its uses and remedial qualities, and the mistake made in
the construction of our English ice-houses, until our next
day of publication ; recommending, in the meantime,
those who would enjoy a genuine luxury to make a trial
of the article, which they may readily do at a triflinS
expen e.

DISFRANCHISEMENT OF SUDBURY. —This boroughhaving been disfranchised, the question is now started so
to what district or town should have the right of electing
two members in lieu of the Sudbury representatives. The
Morning Herald speaks of the two following plans as pos-
sessing claims to attention :-1. To create another rse:
tropolitan borough. However improbable it may appear'
this proposition has, we are assured, been favourably en-
tertained in some quarters. The district to be thus en-
franchised is said to be formed of the parishes of Chelsea,
Kensington, Chiswick, and Hammersmith. 2. :rho
other plan is that of dividing Middlesex into two districts,
Eastmembers. and West,su chand alpropositionlow

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JULY 29.
The supply of Cattle at market to-day has been rather arniCer,
than last week, which met with brisk sale. Beef bid to ou'
Mutton "id to 6d; Lamb Sid to 6d.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 29.0
There has been a very fair extent of business transacted
Butters during the past week, at tolerably well supported price°
OAP
We must however remark that the importations more. •
counter-balance the consumption, and that there existreir
" leetle" more anxiety on the part of holders to lighten

stocks. Beef is not quite so easy to sell; but the value ()fa r, ot
is steadily supported, with a considerably decreased ques':: of
market. Neither in Ireland, the Channel markets, Lollue':0-
here, are heavy stocks of Bacon held ; the currency is co d
quently increased about Is per cwt. and with a brisk demo
