A fearful accident happened on Monday , at the coalmines of John Ridgway and Co ., of Ubberley , near Hanley . Seven men and boys , who first descended the shaft , have lost their lives . They went down about halfpast six o'clock , and had not proceeded more tnan sixty yards along the level when the exp losion ol suir phur took place . It is supposed that one of them must have been some distance before the others , as they are not so much burnt as blown nearly to pieces ; one man's arm is blown off , and the others are very much disfigured . Near five hours elapsed before the could be eot out of the shaft , there being so mucn sulphur .
The men could not proceed along the level until alter having sent down the shaft a great quantity of water . They obtained the last bodies at half-past eleven o clock . The men must have neglected their instructions of not lighting candles when first going down the shaft ; they had lamps with them , and had they confined the light in them the accident would not have occured . Verdicts of accidental death have been returned in the case of the men killed at Ubberley . The inquest on the Washington explosion is still pending . There was a serious fire at Glasgow on Wednesday . An oil and spirit warehouse was consumed . Yitriol jars went off like rifles , and oil puncheons like heavy artillery , shaking the ground and spouting up jets of manycoloured flame . The fire , after doing immense damage , was extinguished by the spirited exertions of the fire brigades .

M . Guseppe Massari , a late member of the Neapolitan Parliament , has just published , at Turin , a letter to Mr . Gladstone , entitled " An expression of Gratitude to the Right HonourableW . E . Gladstone , " thanking that gentleman for his powerful and effective exposure of the iniquities and cruelties practised by the Neapolitan Government . From a translation of it which appears in the Morning Chronicle of today we quote the following passages : —
" Every word of your pamphlet is a truth , every sentence an axiom . The conduct of the Neapolitan Government towards supposed or real culprits , confined on accusations of political offences , you have said , is an outrage on religion , on humanity , on civilization , and on decency ; and with these terse and arrowy words you have given the most apt and exact definition which human language can give of the Neapolitan Government . From the 15 th of May , 1848 to this momentthe story of the acts of that
, , Government is the story of faithlessness , of ferocity , of frenzied passion ( dissennatezza ) , and barbarism ; from that memorably fatal day began the slow and no longer regarded martyrdom of my poor country . From that day , everything appeared to go on favourably for the designs and artifices of that Government ; the anarchy which raged in the rest of Italy , the defeat of the Piedmontese army the Parisian days of June , the terror of social war , the quarrel of Pius IX . with his people , and his flin-hr . to Gaeta . the jealousies of France against
England—all contributed to facilitate to the Neapolitan Government the means of success in its intent , which was no other than that of vexing a whole country with every sort of violence , and giving to its cruelties me aspect of legality and legitimate defence . ' < If Europe has hitherto believed that the Neapolitan Government was an orderly , energetic , strong , and stable Government , your words have dispelled the singular illusion , since they have demonstrated with the light of mathematical evidence , that instead of being so , tnac Government is the most anarchical , most feeble , ana
most tottering which exists in the world . . Of all the apostles of demagoguism , the JNeapolitan Government is the most efficacious and most formidable ; it is educating c ight millions of n >? « " ° J in the contempt of all authority , and is preaching t > y example irreverence for the laws ; it sows corruj mou everywhere , encourages and promotes informers , Uisin butcs crosses and pensions to soldiers who pillage , to ^ assassins who kill treacherously ; falsifies and sub ^ e a every conception of justice and equity ; by changing in magistrate into a butcher , perverts the m ^«« divine
the population ; and when the hour of the vengeance shall strike—when the moment of chastisement bna arrive—how will it be possible to renew , in a country t catcd in this fashion , a strong and honest 8 ° ™™"" " And who does not see the tremendous danger whicJi * ua state of things creates for Italy , for Europe , Ior whole of civilization ? You , a Conservator iro n ii Waonce and bv conviction , have well foreseen the cv tuality of the danger , and having with sagacious vihi ^ estimated its magnitude , you are justly * "" '[ ote , have denounced its contrivers . . - . - .,., . „ and illustrious Sir , you have deserved well of civilization of the cause of order , as much as of humanity anu

We understand that a meeting , with trie main drift of which we coincide , was held at 40 , Leicestersquare , on the 14 th , for the purpose of obtaining the entire abrogation of the Law of Settlement . Mr . Soden , of Marylebone , took the chair . The question , it was felt , was very wide and complicated , our Poor Laws requiring a thorough revision , both for the sake of the poor and the rate-payers . Mr . Galloway and Mr . Day addressed the meeting , which was ultimately adjourned . Mr . Galloway suggested the formation of a National Anti-Poor Law League . We shall recur to the subiect .

TO KEADEKS AND CORRESPONDENTS . Several letters have been received by our publisher compl aining of the non-receipt of papers , or the non-arrival of the Lead er until Monday . We have made inquiry , and find that the errors have not arisen in our office . The Country Edition of the Leader is published on Friday , and the Town Edition on the Saturday , and Subscribers should be careful to specify which edition they wish to receive . Complaints of irregularity should be made to the particular news-agent supplying the paper , and if any difficulty should occur again it will be set right on application direct to our office , 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , London . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive . Their insertion is often delayed , owing to a press of matter ; and when omitted it is frequently from reasons quite
independent of the merits of the communication . Communications should always be legibly written , and on one side of the paper only . If long , it increases the difficulty o finding space for them .
