destruction of human life. The explosion
was what is known as a" fire damp explo-

Between so aud 60 pit laborers and two
overscers had previously gone down. Three
men at the mouth Of the pit were instantly
kiled.-The fate of those who went down
Is not known; but it is supposed few.
II any, escaped death.-In a postscrip,
the Compiler says that a gentleman
from the PIT estimated the number
Mt from thirty tn forty only. Four Of
them had been got out, who, it was sup
posed, would rccover--two others were
seen dead; and cries and groans were dis
tinctly heard from some wis had not been
reached. So great was the CONSERVATION
and dnmsy tha, the accuracy Of det,ils
could not be relied on and so great was
the terrnr among all in The vicinity that the
proper efforts could not be promptly made
to get ont the unfortunate Iaborrrs.
