IMPORTANT DISCOVERY AT BABYLoN. ACCORD
ing to the Leeds Mercury, Colouel Rawlnson has
just discovered among the ruins of ancient Baby
lon an extensive library-not, indeed, printed on
paper, but IMPRESSED on baked bricks contain
ing many and voluminous treatieses on astrono-
my mathematics, ethnology, and several other
most important branches of knowledge, These
treatises contain facts and arguments. which, in
his opinion, will have no small effect on the
study of the sciences to which they relate, and
indeed on almost every branch Of science and
learning, and throw great light upon biblical
history and criticism, and the history Of our
race. As Pliny and Others have referred to the
existence of these treatises, or rather libraries
there can be no doubt of their genuinene,s, and
the Importance Of the discovery can scarcely be
overrated. nan

TrpprRE Coal Pr ExPLosIoN.-The Rich
u,1J Dcspatch contains the particulars of an
..,,Io,on at the Midlothian Coal Pits, in
chesterfield county, Va, on Monday. The
Dispatch says:
tbo earth, for miles around the pits to wave
and rock as twig in the wind. One gentle
man who was crossing the railroad, about a
mile from the pits at the time said he felt the
rails reel under him and another, who was
,sssing the road on horseback, declared that
his beast staggered and trembled, as if suddenly
shocked by tremendous galvanic battery
The centre boards around the shafts were
blown off as if they had been paper, and at
the western shaft two large cable chains were
broken in two as easily as if they had been
pipe stems
It is supposed the explosion was caused by
an accidental ignition of gas. Of so persons
in the pit at the time, "a were taken out dead
or in the agonies of death, of whom % were
slaves and white persons. The names of the
latter are Thos. Dunn, John Evans, Samuel
Gouldin. John Lester, j. Jewett and Jos.
Howe. Four whtes-John Howe, S. Hunt,
y Ham and Thos. kennedy-were badly
bgrned. as were also twelve slaves The dis
patch adds:
Some of the dead men, the flesh charred on
their bones, held their shovels in their hands
others were holding to their picks and drills ;
and Samuel Hunt, small boy, who had been
derived of reason for the time, by the con-
crlSson, was calling loudly to the mule he had
been driving to go along. Those who were
not dead, as soon as they heard the voices of
their friends, begged earnestly not to be left,
and then prayed loudly for a few drops of cold
water to quench their burning thirst
