to announce, that a most DISTRESSING accident. bv
which two individuals have lost their lives, occurred
on Saturday week, about three O'Clock in the after
noon, at one Of the coal pits Of Derby, at Ecclc-
ston. near Prescott. IL appears that two men, named
Richard Hayes anu William Eddleston, were enpa-
ged in the sinking of new pit, which had already
been sunk TO the depth ofsixty- four yards, and hav-
ing prepared a mine at the bottom for blasting the
rock with g%uupowder, had assembled TO the mouth OF
the pit, for the purpose of igniting the train, which,
