Accidents And Sudden Deaths. A Coal Mine...
who had fled by one of the air roads , and worked his Tray to a Mgher level , escaped without injury ; hat Tiinsley ( who rented tile mine ) was drowned , his ; body being discovered about an hour after the accident , and in precisely the same « pot where Brocklehnrst was first entangled . The persons in the wpper level escaped without injury . " . ; An explosion took place on Tuesday morning at the gunpowder nriHs of Messrs . Curtis and Harvey , on Hounslow-heath , near the village of Bedfont , in consequence of which the life of one man ( Greaves ) was sacrificed and two other men ( Walker and East ) were in imminent jeopardy . The accident was rather singular in its character . The machinery was at rest , and -was undergoing the process of cleaning and adjusting , when Walker saw fire raised by the implement in the hand of East . As no tools except copper or brass are allowed ¦ within these buildings , it is impossible to account for the catastrophe . The machinery , though displaced , is little injured , from the small quantity of powder which happened to be within the house . The building itself is , course , entirely destroyed . From Toronto , Canada , we learn the particulars of a shocking accident . The boiler of the Inkermann ( propeller ) , of Kingston , exploded as she was backing ont from Brown ' s wharf , almost destroy ing the vessel , and burying the hands , reported at from twenty to thirty , in the ruins . Nothing of the upper works beyond the wheelbouse is left , and the bay is strewn with pieces of the wrreck . James Stock , an old man of seventy-one , who had been for several years employed as an engine-cleaner on the London and liNorth Western Railway , was cleaning ons of the engines in the engine shed last Saturday , and a few yards behind him were two other engines . A man named Barkiss , who was on the hindmost engine , suddenly moved it forward , at the request of a man named Nicholls , and the three engines being set in motion , Stock was caught between the buffers of the middle and front engine , and so crushed that he d eil shortly afterwards . The coroner's jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death , but strongly blamed Barkiss and Nleholls , -who had acted m defiance of the rules .

State Of Trade. The Accounts Of The Stat...
STATE OF TRADE . The accounts of the state of trade in the man a factoring towns for the week ending last Saturday indicate increased steadiness . At Manchester there has been a moderate business , sufficient , with tiia present restrictions on production , to lighten , stocks and give firmness to prices . The Birmingham advices describe a tendency to impr ovement in the iron market , while fox the general manufactures of the town there is also a fair iome and foreign demand . In the woollen districts them iias been no material -chsnge , but the tone is favoura & le . At Ifotiingbxm , the hosiery and lace trades are both mactave ^ and the Irish linen-markets are without alteration . - ^ lUmes . In the general business of the port of London during the same week there has been diminished activity , chiefly owing to the « nfavourable state of the wind , winch , faas prevented the arrival of many vessels now due . The total Dumber -of ships reported inward was 174 , being 158 less than in tho previous week , Tfcese included five with cargoes of coffee , 27 sugar , 25 com , lice , & c , and one comprising -23 , W 5 packages of tea and £ 32 bales of silk . The total number of vessels cleared outward was 188 , including 17 in ballast , Bhowiag am increase of 1-9 . —Idem .

Mb . SaaxH O'Bjubn was recently invited to a public dinner at Rathkeale given to Archdeacon Fitzgerald , a very old member of tbe Young Ireland party . Tho exagitator wrote to excuse iimself from attending , because , -when he returned to bis own country , he formed a resolupon not to attend any political meetings or join any pplltfoal associations . Feeling himself , however , at liberty to express , txl « opinions on public affairs , he states las . Relief that tixo British Parliament will never give sufficient attention to Irish matters ; that it is therefore necessary to have a national legislation onco again : that , 4 a the meanwhile , Irish members of tho Imperial Parliament ought to attend simply to tho interests of Ireland , . and to sever themselves from all English pwcUe *; And that the bill in favour of tenant right , as now Amended , ought to bo passed by Lord Palmeraton ' s Government .

AMERICA . Washington has been the scene of a very serious riot . A municipal election was going on , and some of the ' rowdies , ' who were well armed , took possession of a piece of cannon , -with which they threatened their opponents . The President placed two companies of marines at the disposal of the Mayor ; and these fired on the mob , killing five or six , and -wounding several others . When tbe last news left , the marines were still in reserve at the City Hall ; and the town was in the wildest excitement . The President has appointed Mr .

Vivanco , at the last dates , was at Arequipa with a small force , but without means . On the 19 th ult ., tho Peruvian fleet at the Chinchas surrendered to the Government . A letter from Lima says : —" Business bere is becoming active , the buying season for the interior opens with good prospects , and , in Tacna and the south , large sales have been made for Bolivia , while copper ores find easy access to the coast since the opening of the Arica and Tacna Railway , which promises well .

Pernambuco is also free from tho same scourge . 11 The woman killed at Newburg sorao time since , " says the Times New York correspondent , " turnod out to have been tho -wife of a nogro in Massachusetts , who cam © to Now York for tho double purpose of intrigue and plunder , and who met Tier fnto while in pursuit of one or tho other object . Just as wo wore congratulating ourselves upon having a clue to one of tho many murders committed hero lately , tho deceased woman , whoso remains had been fully identified by her husband , walked into court with a paramour , and put in a protest against being considered doad .

Continental Notes. France. Titk Country ...
CONTINENTAL NOTES . FRANCE . Titk country is being more and more drawn into tie excitement of the elections . Notwithstanding the vigilance of the police , awkward opinions contrive to vent themselves in a manner that perplexes and somewhat alarms the authorities . Seditions placards appear in the morning on the wall ? , having evidently been posted there daring the night ; and it hns been found necessary to set police officers in plain clothes to watch for the persons who post up the objectionable announcements . . A circular from a well-known leader of the democratic party , urging the electors not to vote , has been circulate ! at Lyons and other places . The Government in the meanwhile is active ; and the ' Constittitionnel publishes the following list of its candidates for the city of Paris : —1 st electoral division , M . Guyard Delalain ; 2 nd , M . Devrnck ; 3 rd , M . Germain Tliibant ; 4 th , M .. Virvin ; 5 th , M . Monnin , Tapy ; Cth , M . Ferret ; 7 th , M . Lanqnetin ; 8 th , INI . Foucher Lepelletier ; 9 tli , _ M . Kcenigswarter ; 10 th , M . Teron . In opposition to five of the independent and Liberal candidates far the electoral divisions of Paris , whose names we gave last week , the following gentlemen hare put themselves forward : —MM . Jean Rpynaud , Garnier-Piicje * , Jnles Bastide , Jules Simon , and I ' elletan . Thus , there is a split in the Liberal party . Circulars signed by Ledrti liollin , and advocating abstention , have been distributed largely through the south of France . Some Socialist candidates have started ; in the departments , of the TJnme anil the Ar-.. deche , the names of Crc ' inieux , Gleizal , and Deaerle , are before the electors . " A commissary of police , last Saturday , says the Paris correspondent of the Daily News , " went into all the principal factories of Batignollus nnd asked the workmen whether they intended to vote or nut . I do not know how this functionary was received generally , but in one atelier he was told by about forty men that the } ' did not mean to vote . " Official enthusiasm is of course doing its best—and its Worst—for the triumph of the Government in tltf approaching elections ; bnt the utmost depth of fulsome flattery is reached by the Prefect of the Dordogne , who utters this blasphemous sentence in an address to tne electors : —• " The Government of the Emperor wishes for the triumph of its candidates , ns God wishes for good , while leaving to each the liberty of evil . " The Moniteur publishes several important decrees . One raises the following gentlemen to the dignity oi Senator :-M . Bo ill ay ( do la Mourthc ) , President of Section in the Council of State ; M . J ' uvro ,.
