The alarm was givenWil;houtiMW;ichmen to Mr. Fries
the master of the Workhouse, but not before the suffocati.tg
cloud bed reached to the infirm wards,forming the test wing of
the oakum room, in which was contained filet class of its in-
mates whom Providence hal visited with the direst of a
human calamities—the loss of reason—but who, yet actuatel
by natural instinct, rushed into the yard watt the wil.lest sad
most heart rending cries. In this awful crisis. ft i t but common
justice to Mr. Friend, the Master. to say. that at the hazard of
his bre he rushed into the clouds of smoke, ■nd succeeded in
bringing out five unfortunate-individuals, and when nearly ex-
hausted by his efforts, ordered the outward wall to be beaten'
down, by which prompt effort the general mess was saved.--
The scene may be imagined, but cannot be descrihoo-70t1
persons were tinder the common roof. each striving for indivi-
dual safely. Every effort that human exertion could mike was
brought into action, and, we feel the liveliest sensations ilk
announcing, were successful in stemming the progress of de.-
struetion. Messrs. Deddine and Foulger, Churchwardens,
and who are also Trustees of the National Sshool, were on the
spot at the earliest possible moment, and with a degree of
feeling that reflects credit on humanity, opened the Schwa
house, had fires lit and cordials administered to the forlorn
sufferers; in this work of trme charity they were aided by tile ,
Churchwardens, Messrs. Beddlue and Driver, who sent in a.
provision of clothing, and from fifty to sixty beds were made
up at the time we left—seven o'clock.—Four bodies had been
taken out lifeless, a fifth with slight hopes.

DURRAM, Nov. 3.—ln consequence of an explosion of
foul air in a coal pit, called the Plain Pit, belonging to the
Marquess of Londonderry, situate near Rainton, about five
miles from this city, a another of unfortunate persons hare
lust their lives. f lie accident took place this morning
about five o'clock. There are a greet variety of rumours
afloat respecting the number of persons employed in the
I pit at the time, but from the best information I have been
able to acquire, I believe there were between 90 and 1(10;
the whole of whom it is supposed have perished. At the
time the latest accounts lett the scene of the catlittolAse,.
nearly 40 bodies had been brought up corpses.
We insertedia paragraph on Friday of an accident that be-
fel Mr. Edward Helices, of Chatham, from which, alumni*
his thigh was broken, be was doing well; we have since
learned with much concern that unfavourable symptoms ap-
peared which terminated in inortilkation, and she urforsonnis

CARLISILR, October 3:l.—The nine dais of delightful wea-
ther, accompanied by a sharp easterly wind, which entible4
the farmers in the low grounds of this district to clear thenr
fields of every species of grain, terminated on Saturday last,
Oa the day following, the wind having veered round front the
east to the south-west, the atmosphere assumed that dark and
lowering aspect which has been so long, prevalent, and on
Monday we bad a number of heavy showers, succeeded es
Tuesday by a deluge of constant rain, which continued with
little Intermission for two days. This unfortunate change in
the woollier has retarded the leading home of whatever corn
may yet be unhoused in the higher lands; but there is er ery
reason to believe that the quantity is very trifling.—Raising
of potatoes is now the principal object of the farmer's atten-
tion, and great exertion is making to secure that important
crop, which it is to be feared was injured by the keen (rat
which prevailed on Thursday. Yesterday was a most favour-
able day for field labour, the sky being unc onded. with a
strong piercing wind; a few days more equally propitious
would dispel every fear as to the safety of the crops in gene-
ral. anti enable 'the farmers to pursue those agricultural ope-
rations which have been obstructed by the lateness of the bar-
. vest.—(Carlisle Journal.)
