Yesterday, one of the most terrible acci-
dents on record, in the history of colleries,
took place at Telling, near Gateshead, Dur
ham, IN the mine. belonging to - Brand
ling, esq. the member for this place, which
was the admiration of the district for the
excellence of its ventilation and arrange
ments. Nearly the whole of the men were
below, the second let having gone down be-
fore the first came up, when a double blast
ot hydrogen gas took place, and set tho mine
on FIRE, forcing up such volume of smoke
as darkehed the air u considerable dis
lance, and scattered an immense quantity of
small coal from the upper shaft. In the
Calamity, ninety-three men and boys perish
ed, the remains of eighty six of whom are
still IN the mine, which continues unapproach-
able. Meetings are to be called at Newcas-
tie and the neighborhood, to raise s,lbscrip
tons for the widows and orphans of the suf-
fcrers.

TIE ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

TIE ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
1t viii be seen from our report of the de
bate IN the House of Commons last night
that Ministers have determined To rescind
the Orders in Council but they mean, most
wisely as we think, to make this measure
contingent on the repeal of the American
Non importation Act, and to hold out the
threat OF similar regula ions, if France he
permitted b. the Americans, with impuni-
ty, to Commit those disgraceful aepressions
upon - law of nature and nations. bv which
the conduct Of her ruler has been ever dis
tinguished. The Gazette Of Saturday will
Contain Proclamation to this effect.
The termination Of our disputes with A.
merica is thus at hand, and we trust there Is
not human being on either side of the Az
lantc, Who will not raise his hands in thank

position which the British Ministers have
manifested. Without entering at all into the
