Esa ^ oaroN a CoAi > Hrr . —Two men a boy have been killed by an . explosion at the quarry of Mr . Philip Williams , Bilston . Theexplosion is said to have been caused hy alighted candle dropping into the pit , which ignited fihe gas , or firedamp / A hundred men were in the pit at the time , and , besides the deaths , six or seven were burnt . ferpiA . —The Santal insurrection is nearly quelled j but the insurgents are still scattered about the country , and occasionally give a little trouble . The leader of the rebellion , however , has been captured , and ^ seven thousand of his followers have surrendered . It is said that ihe rest are endeavouring to emigrate . with , their families deeper into the mountains ; but it is thought not imbrobable that thev will be deported wholesale to
British Burmah . The north-west frontiers < are tolerably quiet . Tie Oude dissentients have Tbeoome suddenly reconciled since the Military Secw |» ry to the Governor-Creneral ' has appeared on a speciallihissidn—a fact which has excited apprehensions of annexation . 3 Trom Burmah we have reports of the cordial reception given to the ^ EngliBh embassy by jthe native monarchy and-there appears to be every prospect of peace in that direction . The Bombay markets report a dullness of trade , ; but . a favourable change has taken place in the prospects of the harvests , owing to the termination of the excessive drought . A famine is not now apprehended ; yet -a scarcity seems inevitable . The Kidderminster Railway Accident . — From the evidence taken at the inquest on the body of John Hart , the guard killed on the Oxford , Worcester , and Wolyerhampton line , it appears that the goods train was behind time ; that at the Churchill station , where the passenger train might have been delayed , the gatesm an
and signalman was a boy of fourteen years of age , who has been in the company ' s service two years ; that this youth * on the station-master ' s responsibility showed a green and red light } and that , when the passenger train came near to Kidderminster , a white signal , signifying " All right" was exhibited , which of course induced the train to go on faster , and thus rendered the collision Btill more violent . It was also stated by Mr . Dean , the station-master at Churchill , that he had not room to shunt the goods train into the siding at his station , and that he could not shunt on the other line of rails , because the " Worcester express was due four mi- > nutes afterwards . ' The jury returned a vexdict to the effect " that the accident arose from the very defective arrangements of the company more especially with regard to the want of sufficient sidings , the irregularity in the despatch of the goods , trains , and the youth and inexperience of the servants employed to curry out the rules of the company . "
Railway Accidents . —A mail-train on the North-We 8 te * n Railway near Stockport came into collision with a luggage-train , and one of the passengers was dangerously injured , and others much shaken . The luggage-train was stopping in order to be ahunted out of the way of the mail , but there nre contradictory statements as to whether tho proper danger signal was up at the time , or , not . —An old woman has been run down on the »« me line near Manchester , by a waggon whioh was being shunted at the time . Her right arm was bo much injured that amputation has been found necessary . —A gentleman was getting out of a carriage on the Lancashire and , Yorkshire Railway near Burnley , when he slipped , aqd tho train went over his right leg .
Amputation in this case also was resorted to , and the patient is considered in a precarious state . —A man named James Rose has been Beriouoly injured oa the Southwestern ' line at Guildford , owing to getting out of the train while in motion . He was taken to Giry ' a Hospital » but he lies -in a precarious state . At the same hospital on the same day , a fireman of the North Kent Hallway was brought in , who had . slipped in getting ontheeugine « a It waa moving off .

The deaths in the last week were . -870 , ox 225 -below the - corrected average deaths in London . At the « mvTt «* l rate of 17 deaths in 1000 living , the weekly deaths in London would amount now . to 836 ^ and th 4 * ekcess of 34 may be -referred to
causes which were in operation , destroying during the week nearly Jive lireB daily . The 836 deaths may be held for the present to be natural deaths , as they are the result of natural causes ; the 34 deaths may be considered unnatural deaths , as they are the results of extraneous causes that admit of removal . The steps that have been taien to supply the people of London with purer water than they received during the last cholera epidemic are already producing beneficial results ; and the next most effectual measure of sanitary improvement will be the purification of the London atmosphere by the complete removal from the houses and streets daily of the residue of the organic matter which is brought into them daily . —Last week , the births of 793 boys and 771 girls , in all 1564 children , were registered in London , In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 . the average number waa 1313 . —From ike Registrar-Genera ? s Weekly Return .
Treatment of Strahan , Paul , and Bates in Newgate . —At a general meeting of the magistracy -of Middlesex , held at Clerkenwell on Thursday , some extraordinary disclosures were made respecting the treatment of the prisoners Strahan , Paul , and Bates , while in Newgate . The Visiting Justices , having learnt that the regulations had been broken , ordered a searching investigation ; and the evidence taken during this inquiry was read before the Middlesex magistrates . Mr . Frederick William HiD , the Governor , who is , of course , the responsible person , made a statement which was in fact a confession of all the charges , and may be taken as a summary of them . He said : — " Having heard the evidence read , 1 admit the general correctness of it . I said to Sims on leaving , ' Go on quietly ; ' that -is all I
remember saying with respect to the three prisoners . Up to the time of my leaving visitors came at all times , as many as liked together , and stopped as long as they pleased , by my permission . There was no written order of the Visiting Justices to permit the prisoners to see visitors out of the appropriated places . No Visiting Justice gave directions that the rules should be relaxed . Ordinarily visitors are not admitted into the cells ; the visitors to Strahan , Paul , and Bates were . A gentleman from the Court of Bankruptcy came soon after they were admitted , and said it was necessary he should see them together , and I allowed him to see them together . After that they asked me to allow them to communicate and associate in each other ' s rooms , and I permitted them . I knew that
their cell doors were not locked ; but I never recollect giving orders that they should be left unlocked . I saw Strahan , Paul , and Bates exercising together . Although I don ' t recollect ordering the cell doors to be left unlocked , I certainly knew they were not locked . Silence was not maintained by these three prisoners , and they were not invariably attended by an officer . Rule 22 has not , I freely admit , been observed . Letters addressed to them came by post in the ordinary way , and were not opened . I admit the statement of the chaplain , that on leaving the prison I requested him to receive letters addressed to him under cover for the prisoners . Visitors were admitted on a Sunday . Although it is directly contrary to Rule 22 , it was with my authority . I gave no authority or permission for the chaplain taking Mr .
Strahan into my house . Sir John D . Paul had two glasses of wine a day by the written order of the surgeon . I gave permission , to the warder to go out and fetch wine for the other prisoners , Strahan and Bates , but I believe there was no written order for ^ thoso two having wine . " Notwithstanding these indulgences , Mr . Strahan said on the 2 nd of August that his treatment was getting more harsh every day ; that tho magistrates were a set of radicals , and no gentlemen : but that Captain Hill had been very kind , and should bo rewarded . Strahan had his money , watch , and other articles in his possession , although , by the rules , they should have been taken from him . One of the warders waa told by tho Governor to take no notice of Strahan and Paul being together ; and it appeared that Mrs . Strahan and other female relations were in the habit of
visiting Strahan , and that his wife once breakfasted and spent , tho day with him . Mr . George Jepson , the chaplain , was tnlxod up with these proceedings . He said that , when the Governor waa going away on leave of absence , ' that official expressed a hope that " these gentlemen , " Strahan , Paul , and Bates , would continue to havo the earao . indulgences . " One day , " said tho chaplain , " I wont to Mr . Strahan ' s cell ; he was ill . Hie wife was coming that day to see him , and I suggested he should see her in the Governor ' s house . Strahan
objected-to it'at Arstj but I urged it -onlwn , I'told Sims of 'it . There waa no 'officer left -with ; l € r . > Strahan and his wife all iday int the house . I told Sim ' s f-th ' oAgbJfc it would be a great indulgence . $ told & im £ -w'ould take the ( responsibility on myself . H > fo"m 2 && gr < tmtt &\ tied with them . I am quite sure "they ( were left ^ entirely alone . I stayed . a short time iwith < tfaem .

. r _ rT _ ^ - Oath of ¦ A ® arcfBA i TidNk—The ity of London has adopted a petition- to Parliament , praying tbat the Oath of Abjuration may I © repealed , since , as the Stuart family is now extinct , there is no longer amy necessity for it . An Insane IxcEtcDiAjnt . — Several incendiary fires have recently occurred in the neighbourhood -of Barnsley , West Laithes , & c . A man is in custody who -has confessed to being the gjuilly ^ person . He ia evidently insane , as be -entreated the magistrate 4 o set < him at liberty because he had . several other stacks to -fire , mentioning he names of their proprietors .
Ministers' Monet in Ireland . —The majority of the Irish corporations have refused to become the collectors of the ministers' money-tax as provided < by tfce bill of Sir John Young ; and , -with a view of bringing matters to a crisis , < a deputation from the repudiating bodies has waited upon the Irish Chief Secretary for the purpose of calling on the Government , through Mm , to bring in a bill 'early next session for the total abolition of the impost . Mr . Horsman said he would transmit the facts to the Government , but could not express any opinion aa to what course they would take in the matter , Matnooth . —The Roman Catholic prelates are now sitting in full conclave at Maynooth . The proceedings , are , 4 is usual , kept a tprofimnd secret * but it is said that the business has reference to the affairs of the Irish College at Paris .
A TOBAGEiDY IN 1 HEE FoKEIGN LEGION iAT GOSPOBT . — One of the standing orders of the foreign regiment now quartered at Gosport is to the effect tbat none of the men shall leave 'barracks till five o ' clock in the afternoon j but several of the mem have recently attempted to break the rule , and on Tuesday such symptoms of insubordination were manifested that the ^ guard were ordered to fix bayonets . -One of the malcontents , a Frenchman who seemed to act as leader , continued to advance , threatening a private of the guard with his stick , when he ran against the fixed bayonet , and fell mortally wounded , dying almost directly . Joseph Goltewaltz , the soldier who was the accidental cause of this tragedy , was placed under arrest ; but the jury at the coroner ' s inquest returned a verdict of Justifiable Homicide , add-, ing their opinion that the prisoner had only acted up to his duty as a soldier tinder the circumstances .
