      France. Royalist Buffooneries Of Thk Imp...

      FRANCE . ROYALIST BUFFOONERIES OF THK IMPBBIAL APB . n \" e fake the following from the correspondence of the 3 Vme « . ] Paris . Friday , Feb . 9 , 5 p . h . —The soiree at the Elysee Nationale last nig ht was one of the moat brilliant that has as yet been given by the President of the Republic , both as regards the number andrank of those invited . The salons of the palais are , as is well known , bat of moderate extent for the official residence of the Chief of the State . They are capable of conttuning about 600 persons—that is , not more than 600 can congregate at ease and without inconrenfenrinir each other . Last night ,

      however , there could not have been less than 800 and the result was that in more than one part of the rooms compact masses were formed without any possibility of moving about until the crowd began to thin . Those accustomed to the pomp and etiquette of Royal receptions could find no difference ¦ whatever in the state of this Republican display . The ladies who represented the beauty and rank of the aristocratic Faubourg of St . Germain , and of the wealth of the financial quarter of the Chaussee d'Antin , were splendidly dressed . The glitter of embroidery , the blaze of diamonds , the gloss of satin , and the rich softness of velvet , recalled some Of the best days of royal festivities . This is indeed

      a happy change ; and not the least merit of Prince Louis is his encouragement of the staple industry of France , and the promotion of taste by thus throwing open his saloons . One of the first things that struck all who had the honour of being present last night at the Elysee Nationale was the Imperial character of the scene , and if an old general or statesman of the Empire could for a moment forget the history of the last forty years , he might well imagine that he was assisting at one of those gorgeous receptions in the time of Napoleon . As yon entered the Salon cCAttente you at first encountered six tall grooms of the antichamber , dressed in the rich livery of the Emperor , motionless , silent , and stately

      as statues . Then your card was delivered , and your name written in a book , where a list had been previoualy made out , which served to check the cards presented . Yoar name was then pronounced in a loud solemn tone of voice , and you were forthwith ushered into a second saloon , where the President was standing in the centre , in the attitude that has become so classic in France , notwithstanding its nngracefnlness , namely , with his hands behind his hack . The Red Republic would , doubtless , see semething suspicious in the fact . After bowing to the President , you then moved about at your pleasure , from one group to another of the distinguished men and beautiful women you saw in aU directions .

      The ladies , whose names w « e announced , were invariably accompanied by aides-de-camp , who , with the exquisite grace and gallantry ( When Frenchmen choose to be graceful and gallant none are more sofew are so much , except perhaps the Spanish gentleman ) which distinguish the accomplished soldier , introduced them to the Chief of the state , who received them with a bow , and always had a few words to say to them . In an inner saloon there was music The whole of the apartments were furnished in the style of the Empire ; and the gardemeuble had been diligently searched for the objects of vertu and of art , which reminded the old of days and of scenes now long gone by . The productions of the great master adorned the walls ; lustres of antique and gorgeous fashion depended from the

      ceiling ; pendules of exquisite workmanship and of gigantic size glittered on every side , and carpets of the finest fabric , in the soft depths of which the foot buried itself , spread out their richness on the floor , and beautiful and transparent vases of Sevre porcelain gave forth the most exquisite odours from the rarest flowers . Some of the most distinguished characters of the day were present , and to none did the President manifest more attention — more respect , mingled with the fond familiarity of a son to a parent—than to Count Mole . He was occasionally seen to lean on his shoulder , and even once or twice folded his arm ronnd his waist . M . Thiers was also honoured in a marked manner , and the most perfect friendliness was exhibited to the Ministers , who were all , I believe , present .

      SHORT OF CASH . The President of the Republic has informed the presidents of the bureaux that , his salary being insufficient , be has been obliged to dismiss certain employes . [ He has only £ 24 , 000 a year ! A likely man this to promote the " Extinction of Pauperism ! " ] WOUSDEO OF SEBR . TJAB . Y . On Friday a petition was presented by M . Buchez , from the wounded of February , praying that the

      200 , 000 francs of the subscriptions raised on their behalf , and still remaining in the hands of the government , should be at once distributed . M . Buchez moved that the petition should be at once referred to the Minister of the Interior ; but the Assembly rejected the motion , and decided that it should be referred to the committee on petitions , in the ordinary way . The Assembly afterwards passed a credit demanded by the Minister of Marine for secret services .

      PERSECUTION OF CITIZEN PROUDHON . The committee appointed to consider the demand made by the Procureur-General for liberty to prosecute M . Prondhon , has resolved to-day in favour of the authorisation .

      COURSE . The Committee on the demand for an inquiry into the conduct of the government on the 29 th of Jan . have resolved , by a majority of nine to five , to reject the demand . ANTI-ROYAI . MANIFESTATIONS . Letters from Lyons of the 6 th instant state that much agitation was observed in those parts of the city that are usually the centres of insurrection . The clubs were particularly excited . A new cause for excitement was supplied by the term made use of in the despatch respecting ihe official residence of the President of the Republic , which was described as the Elysee Bourbon instead of the Elysee national ; and this was taken as a strong proof of the reactionary and monarchical intentions of the government . The placards containing the despatch were torn from the walls by the populace .

      On the 8 th , serious distuibances broke out at Cette . The occasion was the removal of a tionnet rouge which had been placed on a tree of liberty . The mairies , the Chamber of Commerce , and several houses were burnt . The Moniteur of Monday gave a report of the Minister of the Interior on the recent disturbances at Cette , and two decress ; by the first of which the National Guard of that place is dissolved , and by the second the Mayor is deprived of his functions . The Mayor af Gignac , in the department of the Heraalt , has been suspended by the Prefect for refusing to remove a bonnet rwge from a tree of liberty . The mayor had previously refused to find lod gings for the troops sent into Gignac to enforce the collection of the additional tax of forty-five centimes .

      MORE PERSECUTION OF THE REPUBLICANS . Bernard , the well-known club-leader , has been sentenced by the Court of Assize of the Seine to five years' imprisonment , and 2 , 000 f . fine , for having , in the clubs of Belleville and Batignolles , delivered speeches exciting the citizens to hatred oi each other , and of the Republican government ; for attacking the principles of property and family rights ; attacking the Constitution , outraging the religion legally recognised in France ; exciting to civil war , te disobedience of the law , to pillage , and incendiarism ; and , finally , for attacking the rights and authority of the National Assembly . ' The journal Le Peupk was seized yesterday for an article on the sentence passed by the court-martial on the murderers of General Urea .

      Mors Psrsecoiions . —The tnal of M . Delacluze , editor of the Revolution Damestigueet Sociale , for a seditious libel , which was to have commenced en Tuesday , was adjourned in consequence of the indisposition of M . Ledru Rollin , who was to have conducted the defence .

      THE JUNE INSURRECTION . The men charged with the ' murder' of General Brea and Captain Mangis have been sentenced to death by the Council of War of Paris—namely Daix , Vapreau , junior , Lohri Cfaapael , and Nouvrit . Three others were sentenced to hard labour for life , five to fifteen , ten , and five years of the same penalty ; nine to various yean of imprisonment , and three were acquitted .- ^[ When is General Cavaignac to be tried for the' murder' of the workmen slaughtered in the days of June ?] THE BUTCHER BUGXAT . D .

      In the National Assembly on idonday . M . Cjralli complained of the language used ; by Marshal Bngeaud in a recent speech at Lyon ? . M , OdiUm Barrotaaid'the authenticity of the words hgerl . was not proved , , and tha * , at all events , they merely meant that if . tbe civil disorders of France were not pat down h-r influence in Europe would suffer . After a debate , M . Coralli propoted the following

      motion : — ' The Assembly , considering the explanations of the President of the jEouncU as a disavowal of the language attributed to Marshal Bugeaud , passes to the order ef the day . * ;• ¦ ' .,. This motion was i ^^^ K" ^ day , pure and simple , adopted by 897 to 225 , thus leaving the Ministry a majority of HZ . tSb annitkrsart of the revolution . It has been decided that , the 25 th of February shall henceforth he kept as a hoHday ; that religious services will on that day be celebrated in all the churches of France ; that a credit of 500 , 000 francs will be granted to the Minister of the Interior , to be distributed among the poor ; and that the government be invited to seize upon that occasion to grant pardons and mitigations of punishment .

      THE LATE DISTURBANCES AT CETTE . About twenty arrests have been effected at Cette . Amongst the persons arrested is a man named Leprince , the head of a socialist club ; Grenier , an insurgent of June ; and Donadieu , who , it is said , wore a bonnet rouge during the whole of the riots .

      THE LATE GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY . Commandant Aldemze , who had been committed to the military prison of the Abbaye , by order of General Changarnier , on the 28 th of January , was released on Tuesday . He was informed at the same time that he would be permitted to retain the command of the 6 th battalion of the Garde Mobile . DOWN WITH LIBERTY ! ! 1 The Minister of the Interior has given orders that the bonnets rouges attached to . some of the trees of liberty planted in Paris shall be immediately removed . Two of those hideous objects were removed on Monday night from a tree in the Place Danphine . —Times . [ There are some' hideous objects' which we hope yet to see' removed , ' including something belonging to the Minister of the Interior . We do not mean his bonnet .

      ... GERMANY . " glorious victory . Dr . Schneider ( the newly-elected deputy for Cologne ) , Herr Marx , the chief editor of the . New Rheinische Zeitung , and Herr Schapper , who is also connected with that journal , were brought to trial < m the 8 th inst . in the Court of Assizes , on the charge of having incited to rebellion by publishing a circular urging the people hot to pay taxes in obedience to the orders issued by the late national assembly in Berlin . A verdict of ' Not Guilty' was retained amidst the enthusiastic applause of a densely crowded court . This is another important victory for the Democrats .

      More Persecutions . —About a dozen persons , implicated in the disturbances which took place at Halle , shortly after the decision of the National Assembly in Berlin respecting the non-payment of taxes , have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment , from two to eight years . Berlin , Feb . 11 . —Reports have it is affirmed , reached government that it was , or rather is , the intention of the Democratic party to avail themselves of the anniversary of . the 18 th-19 th March ,

      to get up a demonstration , not only at Berlin , but in other parts of the country where the Democratic adherents muster in strong force ; for instance , at Breslan , Cologne , Treves ,. Dusseldorf , Magdeburg , & c . This demonstration , they say , is to be prefaced by demands , on the part of Waldeck , Kirchmann , andtheultra-Radicals : first , for removing the state of siege ; secondly , for the granting of a certain sum of money for the solemn celebration of the ' March days ; ' and , thirdly , for a law fixing this celebration as a national holiday throughout the country .

      AUSTRIA . —The following two paragraphs , Nos . 11 and 12 , of the fundamental rights , have been adopted by the Austrian Diet : — 'Austrian citizens hare the right to assemble unarmed and peaceably . Nevertheless , popular meetings iu the open air are previously to be notified to the police authorities , but to be interdicted only in cases of urgent danger to the public peace and safety . No department of the national defences can draw up resolutions , or , as such , take part in politibal deliberations . ' Austrian citizens have the right of organising clubs irrespective of police authority , in so far as the means and end of such associations are not illegal and perilous ' to the Slate . The regulation of this right can only be determined by law . '

      NASSAU . —No Taxes . —Great difficulty is experienced in the collection of taxes—a considerable number of persons , and the inhabitants af entire village even refusing to pay them . "When the collectors attempt to enforce payment , they are driven away by the assembled crowds . This state of things has continued ever since the month of March last . The legislative chamber has unanimously passed a resolution in favour of a general amnesty for political offenders .

      BADEN . —Fraternity . —The Abend Zeitung oi Mannheim r . ets forth , in a long leading article , the necessity of a fraternal alliance between the German and French democrats , and denounces the attempts made by certain journals to excite the national jealousy of the former race . It may be added here , that the German democrats in general make no secret of their reliance upon the assistance of their 'brothers'in France . Revenge . —The firing upon the soldiers of the Vienna garrison continues . Several have lately been shot dead .

      SAXONY . —The second chamber appears determined not to allow the Robert Blum affair to remain quiet , having unanimously voted on the 8 th instant ( in express opposition to ministers ) for the immediate recall of the Saxon ambassador at the court of Vienna , or rather Olmutz .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The Austrian papers report that General Bern was defeated on the 21 st ult . by General Puchner , after a hard-fonght battle of seven hours duration . General Bern was forced to fall back upon Stolzenberg . The Imperialists , under command of General Puchner , were on the 22 d joined by General Gedeon ' s brigade , and the two corps made a joint attack upon Stolzenberg , but not a successful one as it would seem , for the bulletin does not state that they contrived to dislodge General Bern . The fortress of Leopolstadt has surrendered to the Imperialists .

      We learn by letters from Presburg , of the 2 d inst ., that the garrison of Comoro had taken advantage of the absence of the Imperial troops having left Njaras and Szerdahelly for Leopoldstadt , and made a sally , first plundering the peasants and traders in the neighbourhood , and then carrying them off prisoners to the fortress . At Pesth Count Wrbna , has issued a proclamation to the effect that any one who , whatever his age

      or rank may be , shall be taken wearing a cap with red feathers , or a hat with red and black bands , & c , in the streets , shall be sent off with the next military transport . The Magyars still possess four strong army corps ; one in Upper Hungary , under Gorgey ; another on the Theiss , under Kossuth ; a third in the Banat ( acting against the Servians ) ; and a fourth one in Siebenburgen , under General Bern .

      ITALY . FLIGHT OF THE GRAND DUKE OF TUSCANY . The Duke of Tuscany has bolted . ' On leaving Florence , he , in the first place , took refuge at Sienna , but a disturbance having taken place before his windows there , in which three persons were killed , and not finding himself safe , he was obliged to leave the place , and on the same evening he arrived at Piombino .

      The Duke quitted Sienna without , informing his Ministry of his intentions . The Ministry , it appeared , had previously expressed a wish to resign ; but the democratic party declared that if it did so they would proclaim a Republic . The Ducal family had been at Sienna tor some days before the flight of the Duke from Florence , and it was in consequence of a threatened attack on the palace that they left Sienna .

      Since the above was put into type , we have received news that the Duke has taken refuge in the island of Elba . ROME , Feb . 3 d . —An edict has come out this morning , signed by the whole cabinet , declaring General Zucchi a traitor to his cenntry , and order * ing him to be arrested if he make his appearance on any point of the Roman territory .- He is forthwith t o he broug ht before a court-martial if caught This day a great popular meeting took place in the Theatre Todirione , when cries of 'Vita' la republique' were uttered , the people demanding that the dethronement of the Pope should be proclaimed .

      OPENING OT THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY . On the 5 th the Chambers were opened with great solemnity . AU the streets passed by the cortegt were carpeted . The crowd was immense . Everything pasted in the most complete order . Abort ore o clock the representatives arrived from the Capitol at the ChaneeUerie , The oUr ^ iabar wia prepared

      France. Royalist Buffooneries Of Thk Imp...

      for the new assembly . The ministers , preceded ; , by Armellini , entered the hall , and were received , with enthusiastic cheers . Armellini made a speech in which he showed the incompatibility of the temporal and spiritual power of the Pope . He descended from the tribune amidst cries of Viva Italia eilpopolo . * The representatives amounted to 140 .

      DISTURBED STATE OP NAPLRS . Disturbances broke out at Naples , on the 1 st , at the opening of the Chambers . A violent excitement prevailed throughout the city . The , troops were under arms . When the regiment of hussars drew up in order of battle , the people cheered them . The hussars answered by cries of Long live the Italian Constituent . Assembly ! ' The regiment was then ordered back , and put under arrest . At the departure of the steamer the shops were closing and Na ples had a yery serious appearance . THE FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE ON ITALIAN

      AFFAIRS . The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle writes as follows : —One of the first difficulties which the Congress at ' . ' . Brussels will have to encounter is the question as to the representatives who have a right to take part in the conferences . I subjoin a list of those who claim seats : —Mediating Powers —Great Britain , Sir Henry Ellis ; France , M . de Lagrenee * . Austria , the . Count de Colloredo ; Sardinia , the Marquis -Ricci and Count Tofetti ; Tuscany , II Comraandatore Martinni .

      The rights of the first four are , of course , beyond a doubt ; and I believe the claim of Tuscany to a place in the Congress has also been admitted . The claim of Naples and the Pope to have their interests represented is also indubitable , but hitherto they are not known to have nominated representatives . But then come the more doubtful claims , of whieh the following is a list : —Venice has nominated M . Pasini ; the Consulto-Lombardo . M . Dnrini ; Venetian Provinces , M . Salvi ; Modena , M . Paltrineri ; Parma , M . Meistri ; Lombard Emigrants—Republicans , M- Frapolli ; Moderates , M . Visconti : the Roman Government , M . Canuti ; Sicily , M . ¦ - >

      In the above list , the Consulto-Lombardo consist of the representatives of Piedmont and Lombaidy , -nominated after the Austrians had been driven out ef Lombardy , and whose mission was to form the kingdom of Italy , of which Charles Albeit was to be King . M . Durini has been nominated to represent that body , with the consent and sanction of Charles Albert . The Venetian provinces are in a different position from Venice herself , and have appointed a separate representative ; but neither

      the Venetian Government nor the present Roman Government has fieen recognised by the ether European Powers ; and there is , therefore , a difficulty about receiving them . Sicily is in a still more doubtful position ; and as for the Lombard Emigrants , it will be seen that they are divided , the Republicans having deputed M . Frapolli , while the partisans of an Italian kingdom have deputed M . Viiconti . Modena is an independent duchy , and lis claims to be represented will probably be admitted .

      SPAIN . Reported Death cf Cabrera . —The French Government has received a telegraphic despatch from the Spanish frontier , announcing the death of the celebrated Carlist leader , General Cabrera . He died of his wounds . in a French village to which he had escaped , in compiny with his physician only . — [ This report requires confirmation . ] Later news from Spain , states the report of Cabrera ' s death to be unfounded .

      The Great Colliery Explosion, Worsbhouoh...

      THE GREAT COLLIERY EXPLOSION , Worsbhouoh Dale , TnunsnAT , Feb . 8 . —This important investigation , respecting the death of the seventy-five persons who perished by an explosion in the Darley Main Colliery , at this place , on Wednesday , the 24 th ult ., was resumed this forenoon at the Masons' Arms , before the district coroner , Mr . T . Badger . Mr . Trcmenheere , a commissioner under Lord Ashley ' s Act relative to mines , and Mr . W . Warrington Smyth , mineral geologist attached to the geological survey of the kingdom , the commissioners appointed by the government , on Wednesday week descended and examined the mines , accompanied by Mr . Nicholas Wood , of Newcastle , colliery viewer to Lord Ravensworth and others : Mr . B . Biram ,

      coal steward to Earl Fitzwilliam ; and Mr . Goodison , of Lofthouse , near Leeds , coal-viewer ; gentlemen who had been selected on account of then * eminent scientific and practical attainments . Joseph Thompson , the underground steward of the Darley Main Colliery , was tne first witness examined . As usual , he examined every part of the pit where the men had to work before they went down in the morning . All was quite-right . Came up about eight , and descended again ucfore ten , and visited all the workings with a naked candle . Was walking along the first dip-board when the explosion took place . Had not observed any change in the state of the air . Fell down insensible while making for the bottom of the shaft . Could not sav

      where the explosion took place , but believed it fired at the top end of the far dip-board , near the throw . The men were working there with naked candles . In some parts the men had lamps . Did not know what had caused the explosion . The owner of the pit found safety lamps when they were needed , but the men did not like to work with the lamps , and used to tatte the tops oif when they used them . None of the men complained of foul air before the accident . Witness believed the pit quite safe . The colliers prefer candles to lamps , because they give a better light . b James Dunk . —Was in the pit at the time of the explosion , working in the first dip-board gate with a naked candle . Never suspected any defective ventilation . Did not blame any one for what had occurred .

      Thomas Beevers , another collier , confirmed the last witness without giving any further information . The Coroner , for the information of those persons who were not present at the previous stage of the inquiry , read over all the evidence taken prior to this day . He then asked the jury whether they thought it necessary to hear any of the other colliers ; they deemed it preferable to proceed to < the scientific evidence . After James Hammond , the witness who was examined at the last sitting of the jury , and who attributed blame to Thompson , the underground steward , had been recalled , and asked if he had any addition or alteration to make in his evidence , who replied in tho negative ,

      Mr . Nicholas Wood was examined . He stated , — I have inspected the Darley Main Colliery with reference to the recent lamentable accident along with Mr . Biram , colliery agent to Earl Fitzwilliam , Mr . Goodison , of Lofthouse , agent to Messrs . Charlesworth , and Mr , J . T . Woodhouse , of Ovcrseat , in the county of Leicester , colliery-viewer , and also in company with Mr . W . ' TV . Smyth , of London , and Mr . Tremenheere , the commissioner appointed under Lord Ashley ' s Act . We inspected the mine yesterday ( Wednesday ) . I propose , first , to point' out on the map the part of the pit where I think the explosion began , and then endeavour to explain the cause . The downcast pit is 130 yards deep . —Mr . Wood proceeded to describe tho course of the air

      from the downcast board through the various workings . At the extreme dip-board the air was divided into two currents , one proceeding up the bank oh thefirst dip-board , and theothcr alongtheface ofthe bank ofthe second dip-boarding adjoining the slip . The currents meet at the extreme point ofthe north level . The air is there again split , one portion up the sixth board and the other up the banks and tho old workings next tho slip . The two currents then join , and pass across tho bank of the sixth board , and then at the back ofthe fifth and fourth board . The air again divides , and one portion goes along tho three old bank faces to the engine-board , and then direct to the furnace and the upcast shaft . The other portion proceeds to the northern

      extremity oi tne old working , on to the upcast shaft . ™ h ™ Aft t 0 ^ T - a 1 ) 0 ut three miles in the working . After a minute inspection ofthe workings of the mine with the gentlemen before named , ; I am of opinion that the inflammable air exploded in Jww ^ Sfcand W ?* the hank , next the throw m the second dip-board ; and the other explosion was in tho banks on the south level I think the cause of tho first explosion was an accu ^ mulation of inflammable air in the old breakfadjommgthe shps ofthe banks ofthe second dip-board The cause of the second explosion was , 2 «**» ' mulation of inflammable aifta ^ theSond S S bank on the south level , which ] "S was brouS in contact with the naked candles of the S working on those banks , and was caused by the concussionof the first explosion . I think there is

      a very trifling production of gas in the seam ofthe coal , and that generally the banks will . be pretty free from the accumulation of gas , and that the quantity of air passing through the pit was sufficient $ W ? £ ™ ?\ Wlfc \ oufc dan S ' & this instance there seems to have been two or three reasons for tho accumulation of gas . In the . first place , tho very strong wind , indicating a fall ofthe barometer , which induces an escape ofgas , if there is any in Srh ^ i . ? H ^ 1 would . ^ cumulate in those parts of the breaks where no , air passes to carry it off ; and th ? immediate effectof tne wind wouldalso be in some degree to dimmish the current of air bv its action on the up-cast shaft . * Thus there would be an mcreased production of gaa with a diminished current of air to carry it off . I ehould state also that the practice has been to draw water , by tubs ,

      The Great Colliery Explosion, Worsbhouoh...

      up the up-cast sha % „ and the . presence of this tub diminishes the current of airland although in general the current of air was sufficient to render the pit safe , a combination ;; of , all ^ the circumstances before alluded to would cause an accumulation of gas in the breaks , especially in the breaks next the throw , which would ooze out from those breaks upon the candles used by the men , and so produce an explosion . I cannot say that there has beeu culpable negligence on . the part of any one connected with the ? management of the mine ; for I believe they conceived that . tho . quantity of air passing through tho mine was sufficient to render it safe . The water is drawn at night when the men are not at work , but the effect of water falling from the tubs during the night is to cool the shaft , and on that account to impair the efficiency as an upcast shaft . I have stated my opinion that they conomvpA that the nuantitv of ati . passmg through the

      shaft was sufficient to render it safe ; but I think it ought to be added , that I think it necessary that a much larger quantity of air should ; bo carried throug h the workings of p its in this district than what is necessary to ensuretheir safety on ordinary occasions , so as to meet extraordinary occasions similar to this . I think the ventilation in this pit has been similar to the ventilation of pits in the neig hbourhood , and . such as seems sufficient for ordinary occasions ; and these men , I have no doubt , thought it was sufficient . . . Mr . Russele ( a juror ) . —I should like those gentlemen who have come such a long distance to state whether they think the Darley Mam pit is ventilated upon the best possible principles ? , , , Mr . Wood . —The princip le of ventilation 19 precisely the-same . -as ' in the north , namely , by a rarefaction ofthe air by an upcast shaft ; but it is not carried out to the extent to which it is carried in

      the north . ., By the Couoxer . —I think the means of ventilation in this colliery might be made use of to produce a much greater , quantity of air . Tliero appears to have been sufficient air , in common and ordinary purposes , to have carried off a small quantity of gas produced in this mine . . By a Juror . —It is a bad practice to draw water up the upcast shaft . By the CoRONER .- ~ The diameter of both the pits is about nine feet ' and'half . ' That is quite a sufficient shaft for ventilation , particularly if this drawing of water was hot adopted .

      Mr . Iras ( a juror ) . —If you had had tho working of the Darley Main colliery , would you have worked it with the same amount of ventilation ? Mr ; Wood . —I should have improved the ventilation ; and if f could not havedone so , I should have worked it with lamps in those parts of the mine where danger was to'he apprehended . Bt a Juror . —I think one downcast and ono upcast shaft sufficient to work the mine with the air courses properly laid out . T know it has been stated that they oug ht to have made use ofthe engine Shaft , but all other circumstances being the same I do not think it would have improved the ventilation . ~ "'

      Bv the Coroner . —I think , the p its in this neighbourhood should have from 25 , 000 to 30 , 000 feet of air perl minute . I give that opinion with some hesitation , because I have been accustomed to large quantities of air , in workings of this kind . I should say there were from 10 , 000 to 12 , 000 feet of air per mmute . when I was in the pit yesterday . I should say generally that in ' the . pits in this neighbourhood * men may-safely work with candles , with improved ventilation . I haye paid considerable attention to the desirableness and practicability of government appointing : underground inspectors of mines . I was appointed one of the committee of viewers from the north . to confer with Mr . Tremenheere on the subject , and although there

      appeared considerable difficulties attendant upon it we came to almost an arrangement for a plan for that purpose . I think now that it is very desirable that government should appoint underground inspectors . The great difficulty is in any measure that would throw the responsibility upon the government inspectors and relieve the minds , of the colliery owners ; but I think that difficulty mi g ht be overcome , and that , such inspectors being appointed would have a very beneficial effect . I would rather depend upon the rarefying power ofthe furnaces to ventilate coal mines than the application of steam ; for this reason—in theHetton . colliery we produce a current of air equal to from 150 , 000 to 200 , 000 feet per minute , and I cannot comprehend any

      action of steam that would produce that effect . Some questions were here put to the witness by Mr . Gurnet , which gave rise to a discussion as to the relative merits , ofthe two modes of ventilation ; and the coroner suggested the desirableness of a committee being formed for tho purpose ^ procuring a combination of talent and experience in order to endeavour to find out a system of ventilation which would prevent such lamentable occurrences as the one they were now inquiring into . Mr . Gurnet said , the South Shields Committee gave their opinion unequivocally that by tho use of the steam jet an unlimited , ventilation was produced . The system was acted upon as tho contingent , and the Housp of Lords > yas ventilated upon the same

      plan . He said it unequivocally , tbat every mine in this nei ghbourhood , however small the galleries , might be ventilated by this mode , so as to remove all danger from explosions such as this . Mr . Wood said , ho did not . wish to throw cold water upon this plan . There was considerable merit due to Ml " . Gurney for it ; but having the charge of a vast number of lives , he ( Mr . Wood ) must hesitate before he changed a system which he knew to be safe , and adopted one of which he was not certain . ' Mr . Benjamin Biram , colliery agent to Lord Fitzwilliam , who has been connected with collieries for thirty years ; Mr . Goodison , superintendent for Messrs . Charlesworth for their collieries at Wakefield , Leeds , and Kotherham , who has been

      employed in connexion with collieries for upwards of forty years ; and Mr . John Thomas Woodhouse , colliery viewer , from Leicestershire , who has been practically acquainted with collieries for upwards of twenty years , having heard the evidence given by Mr . Wood , and also his detail ofthe plan'befove the jury , entirely coincided with him with regard to the cause ofthe accident andthe state of the ventilation ofthe mines ; and after tho examination of another witness whose evidence was not very material , the inquiry was adjourned . The inquiry was resumed before Mi" . Badger , coroner , on Friday morning last . After hearing more evidence , the jury retired to consider their verdict at half-past three o ! clock , and remained in consultation until nearly five o ' clock ,

      when the foreman handed to the coroner the following verdict : — "We find a verdict of Accidental Death on the seventy-five bodies we have viewed , caused by one or more explosions of carburretted hydrogen gas , or inflammable air , which took place on tho 4 th of January last in the Darley Main Colliery ; and we most strongly recommend to the proprietors that a better mode of ventilation be adopted before they reeommonce working the mine , as a preventative against any future recurrence of a similar kind ; and we think , from the evidence given before us , that the removing ofthe machinery usedfor drawing water out of the upcast shaft , is essentially necessary , so as to allow the air passing out ofthe mine to have a better and freer outlet . And we also

      exdress our desire that Mr . Badger , tho coroner , be requested to report to Sir G . Grey , and that he make such report known to her Majesty ' s government , that we think it advisable that tney should appoint a scientific and practical person to occassionally inspect the collieries in this district , and see that there is proper ventilation , and hear any complaints by the workmen employedtherein . —Joseph Porter , Foreman . " The Coroner said , that he fully agreed in every word of that verdict , and he was quite sure that it was one at which no unprejudiced person could cavil . He thanked the jury tor their patient and intelligent attention to the circumstances disclosed during the long and painful examination which they

      had now brought to a close ; and ho assured them that he would take the earliest opportunity of apprising the government of their opinion , as expressed in their verdict . He also expressed the obligations the country were und « r to the scientific witnesses who had attended the inquiry . Tho jury then proceeded to sign tho inquisitions in the seventy-five cases ; and thus terminated the investigation of this most terrible accident . As has already been stated in'the 3 VW » , a subscription has been set on foot for the thirty-one widows and the fifty-five children who have been left in a state of great distress through this awfully fatal explosion . The Darley Main Company commenced the subscription with a donation of £ 200 , besides defraying all the expenses of the funerals of

      the seventy-five sufferers . Mr . J . Jcffcock , the owner of the coal field , has contributed £ 100 . On Friday , the Rev . J . Andrew , the incumbent of Worsborough received a check from the Queen Dowager for £ 25 , and one from the Archbishop of York for £ 20 , in aid of tho benevolent object . The Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday says : — . " Wo understand that three gentlemen of Barnsloy waited upon Jenny Lind a few days ago at Manchester , to solicit the exertions , of her talents at a concert for . tho relief of the families of the persons killed by the late colliery explosion at Worsborough Dale , and that , with her characteristic benevolence , she has expressed her readiness to give her services upon r 6 ceiving an invitation from any committee which may be appointed to carry out the truly charitable object .

      YOU MAY BE CURED YET ! HOLLOWArFoiNTMENT . CURE OF RHEUMATISM AND RHEUMATIC GOUT , Extract of a Letterfrom Mr . Thomas Brunton , Landlord of the Waterloo Tavern , Coatham , Yorkshire , late of the Life Guards , dated September 28 th , 1848 . Sib , —For a long time I was a martyr to Rheumatism and Rheumatic Gout , and for ten weeks previous to using your medicines I was so bad as not to be able to walk . I had tried doctoring and medicines of every kind , but all to no avail , indeed I daily got worse , and felt that I must shortly die . From seeing your remedies advertised in the paper I take in , I thought I would give them a trial . I did so . I rubbed the ointment in as directed , and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread with it , and took the Pills night and morning . In three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the day with a stick , and in seven weeks I could go anywhere without one . I am now , by the blessing of God and your medicines , quite well , and have been attending to my business for more than seven months without any symptoms of the return of my old complaint , Besides my case of Rheumatic Gout , I have lately had proof that your PiUs and . Ointment wiU heal any old wound or ulcer , as a married woman , living near me , had had a bad leg for four years , which no one could cure , and I gave her some of your Pills and Ointment , which soundly healed it when nothing else would do It . For yaur information I had the honour to serve my country for twenty-five years in the first regiment of Life Guards , ami was eighteen years a corporal . I was two years in the Peninsula War , and was at the Battle of Waterloo . I was discharged with a pension on the 2 nd of September , 1833 . The commanding officer at the time was Colonel Lvgon , who is now a General . I belonged to the troop of Captain the Hon . Henry Baring . —( Signed ) Thomas Brunton .-To Professor Hollowat .

AMPUTATION OF TWO TOES PREVENTED . Extract of a letter from Mr . Oliver Smith Jenkins , dated Falkirk , August 13 th , 1848 . Sni , —I was superintending , about six months ago , M erection of one of our railway bridges , and by the fall of » large stone my right foot was seriously bruised , which ultimately got so bad that I was advised to go to Edinburah to consult some of the eminent surgeons , which I did , iw * was told , that in order to save my foot , two of my toes uitt- 't be taken off . In despair , I returned home to impart the melantholy news to my wife , intending to submit to *' operation , it was then a thought struck me to try «* valuable Ointment and PiUs , which I did , and was by their means in three weeks enabled to resume my usual occupation , and at this time my toes are perfectly cured .
