CUMBERLAND.

In the William Pitt (Colliery), near White. haven, by an explosion of fire-damp, thirty-two persons have been unfortunately killed-viz. fourteen men, sixteen boys, and two girls. Seventeen horses were also killed. The explosion was occasioned by an accumulation of fire-damp. The sufferers were employed in a division of the workings where the pillars were to be taken out: around these the ventilation was excellent, and regularly kept up, and there was not even an appearance of fire-damp, except in the fractured parts of the workings in those places where the pillars had been removed, and into which there was no necessity for any of the workmen to enter. Every precaution on the part of the overmen was regularly taken. The colliers were strictly enjoined to use the "Davy safety lamp ;" but familiarity with danger commonly engenders a contempt for it; and it appears that some individual had disregarded the injunctions which were repeatedly issued for the general benefit.

tended by E. B. Portman, Esq. the Rev, H. F.

The works of the Aire and Calder Navigation, at Goole, which are now in rapid progress, are of almost incredible extent.
