      A Colliery Explosion Has Taken Place Nea...

      A colliery explosion has taken place near Bilston , and five men and four horses have perished . A half-finished shell exploded at the laboratory of the A rtillery Corns near Portsmouth , just as Major-General Simpson was i nspecting the place . The Sergeant had his leg broken in two places , and three other men and two officers were hurt . The Honourable Miss Godolphih Osborne , daughter of lord Godolphin , was robbed near the seat of her father , in Cam bridgeshire , while walking in the fields . The highwayman appeared first as a beggar , and as money was

      denied him , he declared he would have moneys worthpointing to a bracelet on the lady ' s arm . Miss Osborne did not readily yield , but gradually unclasping it , looked steadily at the thief . He snatched it , and ran off . She , however , was able to describe him so well , that he was apprehended shortly after by the servants . Mr . George Thompson / an iron and coal master of Wrexham , in his 83 rd year , was riding over hia estate at Mineru ,. yesterday week ; as he was passing over a branch of the Shrewsbury and Chester railway , a train came up , the engine of which struck him and his poney to a considerable distance . He died in a few' hours .

      Mr . Thomas Ashton , a partner in a Manchester house , was driving from Manchester to Hyde on Thursday week , and on approaching a bridge over a brook at Gorton , his horse came to a stand-still . Mr . Ashton endeavoured to urge the horse on , but it made a sudden bolt to one side ^ and clearing the fence , rushed down a steep bank of great depth . Mr . Ashton suffered a compound fracture of one leg , from which however it is hoped he will recover without amputation . The horse managed to escape without injury . A vessel , called a " monkey , " named the Isabella , was

      lying off Caen ' s-wharf , near the Globe-stairs , Kotherhithe , on Tuesday , having on board Mrs . Whitlock , the captain ' s wife , with her ; inrant child , andr a friend named Mary Castle . About midnight a large steamer , passing down tho river at " a rapid : pace , produced ! a swell in the water sufficient to completely cover the sniall Vessel . Mrs . Whitlock was on deck at the time , and screaming out , " Save , oh save us ! " ran into the cabin , and as she was taking up her child the water poured in with such violence that none were able to escape . The vessel sank in a few minutes . On the tide running down , the three bodies

      were found . A fire was observed on Wednesday night about nine o ' clock , in some large premises belonging to Messrs . Hubback and Sons , wholesale oil and colourmen , in Upper East Smithfield . The building was filled with oil , turpentine , and saltpetre , and other inflammable articles used in the trade . Tho firemen were soon on the spot , but not before tho whole building was on fire . Tho spectacle is described as very splendid , tho different colours , as they burnt , giving a succession of hues to the flames . A groat supply of water was afforded , but it was no t till midnight that tho lire was brought under . clock

      A fire-broke out about four o ' on Tuesday morning in a house bolonging to Mr . Richard Lambert , in Union Mews , near thp Middlesex Hospital . The inmates escaped in tim e , but tho . fire extended to tho two adjoining houses . Tho firc-escapo from Portland-p laco was no sooner brought thnn two or threo persons wore seen at tho windows , whonco' volumes of smoke woro issuing . The conductor rapidly ascended to tho second floor window , while a policeman took the third floor , and two women ; and an infant wero brought down . It is said that they would soon have been suffocated had they remained . Tho firoonginos being brought tho firo was at length put out , after considerable damage had boon dono to tho throe houses .

      Mr . Honry Tommoy , tho man who was charged with uttering a throat to shoot tho Lord Chancellor , * was liberated on bail on Saturday . Two Irish labourers named Michael and Potor Scanlan , have boon sentenced to death in Edinburgh , for tho murder of an old woman in tho parish of Kottlo , in Fifoehiro . Th <> Honourablo Alfred Crofton , ono of tho Pagos of Honour to tho Quoon , and about eighteen years of ngo , compluinod to Mr . Hardwick that a girl named Kato Howard had , among other annoyances , broken his pipe , Ntio aeeostod him in tho Haymarkof ., on Tuesday night , "bout twolvo '' o ' clock , and considering that hor advances woro not ; mot with , tho duo dogroo of courtesy , she pushed him nbout , uud eventually knockod hia pipo out of his

      Health Of London Dtjring The Week. The M...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DTJRING THE WEEK . The mortality of the metropolitan districts , which in the previous week rose to 1000 , declined in the week that ended fast Saturday to 898 . In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1842-61 the average number of deaths was 872 , which ,. with a correction for increase of population , becomes 959 . ' The present return therefore exhibits an amount less than the estimated number' by 61 . In-the table of fatal causes it appears that the class of zymotic of epidemic diseases numbers 209 cases , which nearly coincides with the corrected average ; tubercular diseasesincluding pthisis , 181 cases ; diseases of the organs

      , of respiration , 110 , which is also near the usual amount of the season . In the week that ended May 15 , bronchitis was reported-as having been fatal to 79 persons ; thereafter it declined , and the uniformity of its rate of mortality during the four weeks that followed deserves notice . In the week ending 22 nd May , 50 deaths were referred to it , in the next week 49 ; and in each of the two following also 49 . Bneumonia exhibits a decrease , having been fatal in the last two w 6 # ks in 58 and 43 cases respectively . Last week the births of 692 boys and 622 girls , in all 1314 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of 1845-51 was ' ' 1282 .

      Saturday, June 12. Lioed Maxmesbimt Agai...

      Saturday , June 12 . liOED MAXMESBimT again brought forward his extraordinary bill respecting the surrender of Frenchmen charged with criminal acts , last night . Since the preceding ; discussion , he had somewhat modified its pro * visions , but they are still of a very suspicious nature . He had one arrangement to propose , which he hoped would ' meet-, the " jealous fear" of noble lords , " as to the liberty of the subject . "

      " At first , it was proposed to surrender a prisoner immediately after his arrest , if the magistrates were satisfied with his identity . Instead of this , he would propose that the Secretary of State should not issue . a warrant for deten---tion until there was reasonable cause to be satisfied of the identity of the accused , and that on no account should he be surrendered to the French Government without having first the pibce d ? accusation or mise en accusation with a certificate from the Juge d'Instruction—that officer being a judge independent of the executive . He -was promised by tho Trench Ambassador that a law exactly analogous to this sliould be passed in France ; ( Hear , hear O He

      saw a noble earl smile '; but , if they did not believe in the honour of a gentleman nothing could be done ^—they could make no convention at all . Governments must have faith in one another . At all events , Her Majesty ' Government had this hold over the Government with which it entered into a convention , that the convention could not be put in motion until both parties were agreed . If , therefore , the provisions and stipulations of the French Government were not fulfilled , the convention could not be put in force . "

      Lord CAMPBEXii thought the proposition less inconvenient than that originally proposed . "If the Juge d'Instruction were notremovable , that would mate the proposition less objectionable , but still he should feol some hesitation in giving entire credence to what that judge might say . He thought the convention would be unobjectionable , if it were required that reasonable proof should bo given to the Secretary of State that the person accused was really guilty and ought to be giren up ; but

      if Parliament agreed to what amounted to giving tho executive power to deliver up without such reasonable proof any French citizen in this country , then England would no longer be that asylum which it hitherto had been . ( Hear , hear . )" Lord Bbottgham : concurred in looking upon the mise en accusation with suspicion , until he knew its effect . If the Juge d'Instruction only looked at tho pieces d " accusation , and reported on them , then his certificate would be very unsatisfactory ground to proceed upon . Upon which Lord Malmesbttiiy observed that it was tho result of a judicial inquiry before judges of a superior order to the Jugo d'Instruction .

      Lord . Abeedeen renewed his opposition . Ho wanted to know what prevented the French government now from furnishing tho mise en accusation ? to which ho recoived no reply . " If tho production of tho mise en accusation wero sufficient proof , thon no change in tho terms of tho existing convention would bo required . Ho thought it would bo a dancerous proceeding to depart from tho principle of

      insistin g upon sufficiont proof of guilt being afforded as would warrant tho arrosj ; and trial of tho person accused , if tho offence had boon committed in this country . Hitherto tho laws of this country had afforded to foreigners the sumo protection ns to nativOB , and now it was proposed to mako an entirely now provision as rospoctod foreigners . If , howovor , the mise en accusation of tho Jugo d'Instruction afforded that sufficiont proof which was at present required , ho should have no objection to tho proposal of tho noblo earl . " Tho Loni ) CriANOittxon mentioned tlmt tho proposition now mndo had been approved of by tho lato Government ; but it was neither tho desiro of the present or of tho Into Government , to deliver up French subjects without proper causcv or to abnndon tho duty of hospitality to refugees of nH'iliiitions uniler proper rules and regulations . Lord Okanvilms supported the hill . With roMpeofc to the protection which ought to bo given to political rofngeos , there wuh a . clause in the convention providing l'or tlmt ; suul , if further Hccurity could l > o suggested , ho would willingly agreo to itn adoption .
