water from one Of the old workings, to
which the pitman had appropriated too
closely. By this calamity 80 men and
AZ boys, it is to be feared, have perish
led. On Wednesday evening, the depth
of the water at the shaft Of the pit was a
bout "a fathoms, and at that time it was
increasing, in defiance of all human eff

alive, although no exertions are spared
by the proprietors and their agents
lSince writing the above, we are sorry to
learn that the water has gained upon the

they discharge 1900 gallons per minute.
The water in the lowest shaft was
plundered early on Friday morning when
