Terrific Explosion In English Coal
Mines,


4 irighlful sorics Of disasters occurred
IN tho mines ncar York and Slaliordshire,
Easiand, on the 8th instant, attended with
a terrible loss Of life. II s estimated that
no less than GOO persons have fallen victims
10 the fearful calamity. The excitement
among the people is most intense, and the
entire kingdom ia agitated in consequence.
In the York minos II is estimated thatover
three hundred aud fifty human beings have
lost lives. In this mino there were three
different explosions occurring at intervals
Of several hours. Under date Of the l35ll
tho account says a,.
The niue is now on fire. and hames have
burst from the mouth of tho main shaft
with great violence. Tho work of drawing
out the bodies OF the dead has been sus.
pended, and the mine is to be flooded with
water. The cause Of the explosion will
probably remain q perpetual npstory.
In reference to the calamity near Stat
lordshire, the account says:
There was fearful explosion at noon
to-day at Lalko Hill, near this town, in q
coal pit belonging 10 the North Stafford
shire Coal & Iron Company. Two hundred
men went down into tho mine this morning
of whom only thirteen have been taken out
alive and they are bndly injured. Up tc
the present moment forty dead bodies have
neen brought out of the pit. The excite
ment among the inhabitants is most in
tense. .
Tho following particulars Of tho expos
ion at Barnsby, near York, have beenre
ceived
The pit where the explosion occurred il
300 yards in depth, with lateral eXcava
tions for nearly two miles Sono three
huudrcd persons wore in the mine at the
time, nearly all Of whom were killed,
Forty dead bodies have been counted
within space of one hundred and seventy
foot. very few sufferers have beer
rescued in shocking state Of mutllation
but there is no hope that any moro can he
gotten out alive. The excitement in III,
vicinity Is OF most painful nature, Eighty
of the dead had beou taken out this morn
ing, when the second explosion occurred
aud portion of the rescuing parties who
were still in the pit arc thought to have
perished.

numbers. aud which the captain in his diary
says. "wcut roaring about the woods like
wild cattle. were their main dcpcudcnc,

After remaining in this place for more

in his diary, "ior moral suasion."
At last the captain determined 60 leave
the island. The nearest land was New Zca

craft was little dingy in which they had
escaped from the wreck. There was cx.
trcmc peril 10 crossing such tract ol
