having entered thecreek a large sailing barge narrowly escaped being destroyed ; as it was , one side of the vessel was extensively scorched .

At six o ' clock a fearful explosion of fire-damp occurred , doing great injury lo tho works , and endangering the lives of the whole body of colliers , some of whom , it was believed , will not survive the extensive injuries they have received from the binning gas .

A large number of witnesses were examined , from whose evidence it appeared tbat about sixty men were at work a quarter of a mile distant from the " opening gang" of five to which the deceased belonged * , and the safety of this body of workmen was insured by the attendance of a policeman , in addition to an overlooker , so that they might be duly warned when an engine appeared in view . It did nofc seem , however , to
be usual to use the same precaution in the case of the small " openinggangs ; " but ifc was proved thafc in this instance the whistle of the engine had been sounded in ample time to allow of the escape of the deceased , had the sound not been deadened by the noise of another passing train . The jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of "Accidental death , " accompanied with the following recommendation : —" That , in order to prevent the recurrence of any catastrophe of the kind , the directors Of the company , or tho contractors of any works upon this line of railway , should station a persan or superintendent over every gan _<' of men to give them sufficient intimation of the approach of the trains .

A large tract of woodland , abounding in underwood , gorse , and heath , here lies in almost unbroken continuity , and it was nearly in the centre ofthis vast range that the ' fire had its origin . For two or three hours the devouring element extended with fearful rapidity , spreading itself in all directions , and lighting up the heavens with its lurid _olaro
attracting thereby hundreds of spectators to the spot who afforded , at the same time , much valuable aid in arresting the _process of the flames , which Object was happily attained _afte" - great perseverance and labour , but not until something near twenty acres ofthe lower kinds of underwood had been consumed , and considerable damage done to that of larger growth .

She added thafc she eould not bear to leave the world without divulging her guilty knowledge of ' the murder of tho deceased , and the with tbe view of
place where the body had been ooncealed , bringing tho murderi * to justice . Since this statement was made _thewoman has recovered , and denies all knowledge of the matter , and s & ya she must have been unconscious when she made the-statement . The relatives of the deceased have , however , it is said , taken up the matter , and headings have been fixed to tbe pit mouth iuto which tbe body was said to be thrown , with the view of drawing off the water , wbich is several yards deep , and searching for the body . Should the body be found , identification will in all probability be impossible , from the long period it has been in tho pit , but the presence of any . remains of it might lead to a discovery of the mysterious occurrence . — Preston Pilot .

Disturbance at _Fulham Union-house , — On Sunday morning considerable dissatisfaction began to manifest itself amongst the abled bodied men in this house , so much so that it was thought advisable to send for a body of police to preserve order , and Mr . Superintendent Witherford promptly attended with six constables . About two o ' clock
it was found that some of the men were pulling some bricks down , when the officers interfered , whereupon a general melee ensued , some of the men pulled off the handle of the pump , with which the stools were broken . Police-constable Furzey , while attempting to use his staff , was pinioned behind , and struck a severe blow on the cheek with the pump handle . Mr . Mainey , the governor , exerted himself manfully , and with the officers dealt some telling blows upon some of thc ringleaders , and many of thorn , after being put down oncP , preferred lying on tho floor to running the risk ofa second encounter ; and after a short time order was restored . On Monday they were brought before the Revs . A . W . M . Hopper and George France , when three of the worst were sent to the Castle for two months , and two _othei-3 for six weeks , all with hard labour _; aud seven others were discharged after a sovcre reprimand .

Tab New Lord Lieutenant . —According to official announcement the Earl of Eglingfcon will hold a levee afc the Castle on the _ICfcli . The following evening their Excellencies the Earl and Countess of Eglington will hold a drawing-room , and on the 24 th they will give a ball at the Castle , in celebration of St . Patrick _' _s-day . Watereord . —Capital Conviction . —John Aheame was indicted at Waterford for conspiracy , with others , to murder James Troy . The substance of the evidence was , fchafc the prisoner has used threats against the deceased—that those who appeared friendly to the ill-fated man induced bim to drink with them—and induced him into a lonelv way at night , when all fell upon him , and murdered him . " The jury convicted the prisoner . The sentence was that ho should on the 22 nd of April be brought to the common place of execution and hanged by the neck until he was dead .
Progress of _Ribbanmsm . —The following alarming statement appeared in the " Belfast News Lotter " : — " It seems incredible , yet it is nevertheless true , that in tbat district especially which has been made lamentably notorious by the outrage upon Mr . Chambre , tbe leading gentry are Obliged , for tho protection of _thsir lives , not only to go out armed _themselTes , but to be accompanied by a strongly-armed force of constabulary . Travel in what direction you please along the roads in this district , or afc whatever hour , and you will be sure to meet these indications of a fearful struggle between civilisation and savage barb _irisra . The excellent Lord Clermont—a nobleman of liberal politics as well as of a liberal heart , whose whole time is occupied in doing good , and striving to ameliorate the moral and physical condition of the peasantry , as he goes to , or returns from , the of _taw
meetinga the Poor' hoard , or on any other business which calls him beyond the circle of his domestio hearth , is never seen wifchout an escort of policemen , armed to the teeth , and horsemen provided witb loaded blunderbusses , before and behind bis carriage . Few men of mark in the neighbourhood havo escaped the alarm and annoyance of being served witb threatening notices , warning them of sure and speedy vengeance if they do not comply with the most extravagant and insolent demands . WiU it be believed that poor Mr . Chambre , who has just been rescued from the jaws of death , and who still totters under tho savage injuries inflicted upon him by his dastardly enemies , has received a fresh notice , intimating tha "; _ _. might as well _eavehimself tbe trouble of going to Dublin , as he is still a doomed man , and will yet undergo the fate which was originally intended for him ! Will it further be believed that
vr . mronge , the medical practitioner who attended the -utortunate gentleman during bis painful and critical 111-j" _> ss , has also received a threatening notice , to the effect that he is marked for assassination because he contributed to the recovery of Mr . Chambre ? The Ribband reign of terror is extending in every direction and penetrating every rank of _aooioty . If a gentleman dismisses a servant on suspicion of his being tainted with the Ribband poison , forthwith the maBter receives the ' notice' of the conspirators ; and , if he refuses _compliance with the demand _thcroiu contained , he is one of the proscribed , and literally may \ prepare his coffin . ' This has already happened in some instances , and may happen ia many more ; for the truth is no servant in the neighbourhood can be trusted , unless hi 3 atfaohmentto the family has stood the test of long trial and faithful service .

Daring Housebreaking.—One Of Tbe Most Da...
Daring Housebreaking . —One of tbe most daring acts of housebreaking that has for some time come under our notice , was perpetrated between Sunday night and Monday morning , afc the mansion of W . M'Ewen , Esq . -, near _Cambuslang . The thieves appear , to have conducted their operations in a very skilful manner . With a brace and bit they cut out a hole in the panel of the front door , sufficiently large to admit of their withdrawing the bolt from the inside . This done , they had to pass a vestibule door , whioh was also locked from the inside , but by removing a pane of glass from the upper oortion ofthe _aasb , they appear to have opened it without difficulty . These obstacles surmounted , the depredators had the whole house afc tbeir command , but appear to have concentrated their attention to tho silver plate , a large portion of which they contrived to _disoover and appropriate to themselves . We believe the family were at home afc the time this nocturnal visit was paid to the house . —North British Mail .

Thc Court sentenced them to twelve months' imprisonment with bard labour . An Old Offender . —John Williams , 20 , was convicted on a charge of stealing a handkerchief from the person of a man whose name was not known . The _Assistant-Judge read a list , from wbich it appeared that he had been almost constantly in prison since 1846—having undergone no less than nine terms of imprisonment , varying from one to nine months each , He was sentenced to ten years ' transportation .
Extensive- Robbery . —Charles Cox , 43 , pleaded Guilty to a charge of stealing a cashbex containing six £ 10 notes , two £ 5 notes , thirty-seven half-sovereigns , a check for £ 16 , another for £ 14 2 s . Gd ., and some other articles , the property of William Harris , in bis dwellinghouse . He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with bard labour . Throwing Stones at a Railway Carriage . —William Hay and John _Wbitnell , two country lads of 13 and
12 , were indicted for feloniously casting stones at a railway carriage used on the London and North-Western Railway , with intent to endanger the safety of Charles Skelton and other persons , being on the same carriage . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty , " with a recommendation to mercy . The learned judge said , if they had been grown up meu he certainly should have imprisoned them for two years . He then sentenced them to one month ' s imprisonment and hard labour , and directed that they should be kept apart from the other felons .
Heartless Robbery . —Mary Ann Vaughan , 19 , and Sarah Pritchard , 23 , were charged with stealing , and George Holmes , 27 , with stealing and receiving , a great quantity of clothing and linen , the property of James Rouston . This appeared to be a most heartless robbery . Tbe prosecutor was a poor man , living at Alfred-cottage , Kensalgreen . His wife was taken ill , and eventually died on the 23 d of last month , leaving him with four children . Pritchard went some days before her death to assist iu the _hmise , and the other woman , Vaughan , came after that occurrence to help to clean up . They were observed from time to time taking bundles away , and continued this till the place was completely stripped . The policeman who searched Pritchard ' s lodgings found her there with Holmes , who
was living with her , a » i found on bim a shirt , pair of boots , and drawers , which were immediately identified by the prosecutor ; and in the other room a whole heap of things , also his property . At Vaughan _' _s lodgings a number of other things were found . Both the female prisoners , in their defence , declared the things bad been given them , Vaughan declaring that she was going to make clothes from them for one of the children ; but the prosecutor denied this , and said tbat , if anything had been given to makke up for the children , it was only a piece of black for mourning . Holmes protested bis innocence . He said Pritchard told him they were given her , and he believed her ; and then turning to her said , "Am I innocent or
guilty ? " Pritchard : You are innocent , and so ara I . They were given to me , and I gave them to you The jury found Pritchard and Vaughan Guilty of stealing , and Holmes of receiving . H olnies still vehementl y protested his innocence , and the learned Judge said , he only wished he could give him twice as much as the other prisoners . _Heonght to be ashamed of himself . Here he was living with this woman , and appealing to her whether he was innocent orgwlty . She would not betray him , but he was pretty sure that he would have betrayed her if he could have gained anything by it , No doubt he would have been too glad if his companion had got twelve months so long aa he escaped . He then sentenced all of them to six months ' imprisonment and bard labour .
