fiie centre . Twelve of these were already tnrced , « &d from sis « f them the centres h&d keen removed , ] sod so eeccre were they deemed , that oa Friday morning , Mr . Combe , tbe architect , was over the j whole of them . Scarcely , however , bad be Uft tfetm « a hour , when three ef them eame dowa with » tres&ndoas crash , and we regret to say that two Ben were baried in the ruia»— one of whsm died « llD « st immediately , and the ether , haviag Wen iWMved to the Infirmary , died in aWuc an hvnr after the accident . Tour other mei were more fcrtonate , three ef them having escaped oat of a Triado * , without injury , and the oih ; r with only a few slight bruises . The three other arches , from Uhieh the centres bad been removed , fell at a sub-• e ^ nent period of the d » y , hat fortunately there was fio one near them . The whole affair has eaiisisd a
Wy strong excitement , and we therefore give the Whole of the material parts ef the evidence adduced , lad which are as follow : — . John Barn . —I aa a stonemason , and an em-£ yed ia the new erection betangisg to Messrs , irshalL I am doing tbe mason werri ; - Mr . Combe is the architect ; I work ender bis directions ; I know Richard HiggiM ; he was ^ i * of my l » n , and abent fifty . fire years of a * e ; I was in the field yesterday when the arches fell . ; tfeere were tlr » e fell * t that tiroe , sod-three nave fallen since . 5 be deceased was found Tinder tbe bricis , which had fallen cpan him ; he was covered with the bricks , xcept his head , and w as tlive at rhat time ; he was
» t eut 88 toon as possible , and removed to this JkMst , where he di « d . Mr . Ashfortb , a surgeon , was sent for . I can form no opinion as to the WBght of the materials which fell iipou him . There was another man injured , who was at wort aboat ftfteea yard * from Higgms ; be was Temared to the 5 afirnrary 3 amd , I believe , is since -dead - ; there w& « i ^ tother man also lamed , bat net seriously . ; * ii mei In all were under the arches that fell , but tbe other three e » eaped . The arches are . groined , and are . Gurty-six feet span ; I do not kaow the height of the arches j I never built any similar arches before ; the -arches settled a little when thecentres were stnek ; I
have nothing to do with the briek _ work ; I believe » temporary roof was erected to preserve the arches from wet . I should tkhik ritzy would have been perfectl y tmfehad it not been / or the reoent heavy ¦ rain / every ceee «* ary p .-ecao- ioc was taken to preheat the effects of the rain , aud 1 csnsot think t&ere has been any carelessness ; tiers might possibly be Tiere danger in the camber and extent of arches erected together here , than if there had only . " been on 5 . The arches were wedgrd , pre-riorw to the centre * beicjr strock ; the first arch was not considered strong , and after partly strikiog the centre * they were put up and again the groining was lemoTed , and fastened again with cement .
John Maw .- I am a labourer , employed at the » ew factory , and assisted in gettirg the body of Siggins out of tbe reins ; he died in about a quarter of an hour after be was TeHX > ved htre ; it was ibont eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . "Win . Muggrave . —I am a joiner , ia Mr . Marshall ' s employ ; I struck tie centres of tbe ¦ first and eeond arcbes , but hs . ve not been at tbe bci )< 3 : sgtegolirly gince tie uch . es kare wedged by the briekliyeTi ; it is nsual to wedge , in order t » / sisten th * ctowb of the an-h ; they were not wedged because they had given way . I -cenitvt account fer tktlr giving tcay except in coxsepcertce eftfte k */ vealAer . The temporary ro « f had only been coTered the day ¦ before tbe arches fell ; it would have been better , as » precaution for tbe foof to have been eorer e ^ earlier . I was only there wien the centres » f tbe 1 u > t and second arches were struck . The centres
were struck last wet-k for the first arches , and this week for tbe other ? ; the spaa of tbe arcb i * Urge ; the measurement from the diagonal comers is 48 feer . I considered the archts safe ap to tbe time tbtj fell ; L was afriid tbe rain woold injure tbe ar-cbe ? , » nil should not haTe liked to have been at werk mnder them on that day . Another joiner gave Mmtlar testimony . Geo . Taylor . —I am sasagerfor Me ? srs . Marshall , » fid superintend the erection of the new building , vnder Mr . Combe , the architect ; I was present whes the centres ef some of the arches were struck , bat I have not had any thing to co with them ; Mr . Combe had that under his own management . The
arche * gave way in my opinion more than onghtto Lave done , when the centres were struck ; tk ' u 1 mitriiuie to ike circumstance tit backing vp oj the arches not being sujficienl ; I mentioned this to Jir . Cembe , at different times . Tbe arche * that tavi fallen settled , respectively , 6 j . 6 , and 7 inches ; these were the three that fell ' firrt ; the ether three that fell afterwards gettled 4 ^ , 3 ^ , and 7 f inches ; it is always necessary to wedge arche * a little , but more has been done in this case , in conseqnence of their having settled so tnuctu I certainly did not think the arches woald have fallen , tut hive recommended Mr . Combe t « strengthen
the groinings ; I cannot say if my recommend an ob tad bren followed tkat this accident would have been prvTented . I coBsider that with the exception cf tl > e baekJBg up , ererj tiiag that was necKSaary kad been done . I never taw groined arckes ef this ¦ pan before , and think tbe backing is the prir ^ eip&l tiling ; the foundations are all secure . It . is three "weeks or a month since I first mentioned to Mr . Combe tbebicking up of the arches , and I have done it several times since . He basalvrays resisted it , and said he thought they were sufficient , 1 think the rain may have doxe to } ae injury bat that is not the principal cause .
James "Waite . —I am a jeiner , and am employed at the new erection ; I " lave bee 3 present at the striking of all the centres ; the last were struck on Tuesday . I do not know that tbe arches settled Bior * . than usual ; the centres to - the first two arches were pet up again after being pardaDy removed , anl the arches were wedged ; wedging is necessary on all ocea-sions . I am not able to form any opinion as to the cause of the accident ; on Monday , we raised tbe centres of one * reh four inches after they had been struck , and the arch head settled ; it settled rathtr core than the others .
James Combe . —I * m architect , aad am employed ia the erection of a aevr factory for Mestrs . Marshall ; I am responsible for tbe work , - all the ¦ workmen are uader me , I have been with Messrs-Marshall about two year * , as their architect , but was edncated as an engineer in London ; I never had anything to do with a similar erection to thin . The space of the arches is thirry- » ix feet ; the diagonal measurement nearly fifty Teat ; the foundation of the base of the pillars i . » seven feet pquare ; -we are bow going « n with the thirteenth arch ; the first * rch gave way when tbe c-eiitres were struck , rather more than I expeeted ; it was raided up again and wedged ; I attribute this to tbe
circumstance of the bricks not having . been laid clore enough side ways ; it settled seven or eight isebes ; the second time it settled abont five inches , which i « what such an arch might be expected to settle ; the n « of tbe arch is seTen feet six inches , wbieh I consider is sufficient ; none of the other arches settled more than they © ught to hare done . "We had thr « e centre * at first , and , not finding them sufficient , we gottfcree more . Tbe centres remained a week after the aicha . were tarned before they were removed ; it is necessary to wedge before striking the centre ? , asd there va » rather more wedging reqaired in thi * case than in commoa oem , on account of tbe arch pressing both ways in tbe groiricg . J thUk tht Mine being saflemd so suich by the ram at the im-Meiiaie cause 0 / the fall . Mr . Taylor hu sectioned to me that he considered there was cot
sufii-« eat backing to the arches , but I di 3 zn think * essential to their safety . Precaution * were taken to preTent the wet getting iB ; this was done by Taylors order *; I considered thU was an ad-? aatage , thoiigh I bad no idea that the raiu would iaye injirea tke Use > In ny opinias thi * has Keen as accident , aad is not attributable te any ea : el < rs * - Mss or aagligence on the part of any person , ir I kai the building to recommence , I would not alter &e form of the arch , or the Bize . of it . I have had prerieoi practical knowled ge of otter descri prioas of Poildings , but not of a buildiDg like this . I do not tkink that any blame whatever attaches to the bricklayer ; hi- work hasbeea well done . I was on the top of the arches an hour before they fell , and iii noteeasider there was any danger . When the arches were raised again by the centres , the inter-¦ ficei between the bricks were filled bv cement .

DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT BEDLIKGTON . { From a CorrcspoHoent . ) Despite the malice and virulence of the yiciocs and raropafit Wkigs and Tories of the village , agreeably to previous annonDc * ment , the true democraU ^ et on Friday tte 2 l « tinst .

A little before the time of meeting the evpeing cleared Tip—and the horizon looktd

No donbt bet the importation of those wretched imbecfles from Bow-street , greatiT contributed to ronse tbe spirit aod energies of the people . Th « London scamps with all th « ir pow ^ r ot " face , " did sot " plnck" en this occasion , deeming it no doubt more safe to keep at a respectable distance . It was well . On the ueotioB of Mr . H . Crosin , seconded by J . \ oujw , Mr . Henry Mnrrise 3 , an intelligent enfins'a ri ^ ht , was nuaiiimously called to the chair . The Chairman then rose , and was received with cheers . He said , if working men were trne to oue anctker , tyranny would spredily fail . It is for want of coBfi ien < y » in obo another that working men are trampled , kicked , and cuffed as they are . But let
working men once unite aad ibandon . for the present , all connexion with tbe unprincipled wilf-o ' - tbe-wwp Wkigs and rabid Tories , and tike their stand on the rock oi princi p le , and he promised them L ' lmental Suffrage would be the law of the land in a very short time . ( Hear , hear , and great cheering . ) The Chairman next adverted to an anonymous letter which had been sent to his employer , Mr . Lengridge , tbe object of which was to injure him and his shop-mates , bnt wLicb had been , for thft present , . frustrated—thaaks to the ma-ly courage of the enjjinewrigbt * , and thanks to Mr . Locgiicge jind bis sona for their co-operation with the men of the factory on V- is occasion . After a few More observations , the Chairman sat down
inr . dst great applause . Mr . Johs \\ iLKi . vsoM . joicer , moved the first resolution , in a few brief and appropriate sentence ;) : " That , in accordance with the recent mstiactions laid down in Lord John Russell ' s proclnmatioa to cagistrates ; and , in accordance with the privileges of the Bill of Right * of Sixteen Hundred and Eighty eight , we , hrr Majesty ' s loyal ana dutiful subjects , th ? members of tbs Radical * Reform Associaricn of Bediingtor , lc .-e n » time in petitioning oer SovereigH Lady tl e Queen , for at least aOO stand of arm « , accoutrempnt .-i , and &mmunition , in order to enable us more effectually to protect the Crown , our ancient Constitution , and the lives and property of h « r Maj »« y ' s liej ? e sabjects . "
Mr . I-L Ckonin tLep presented himself , and wa * heirtily greeted . He coiumeactd by saying tLatbe ro > a to M ; cond the resolution , which he heartily concurred in .

( Tremendous groaoicg . ) Once armed , he promised them they would on one of those fine

James II ., ( cr Jemmy the coward , as they call him in Ireland ) was very likel

Aye , a grievous abuse ef this right * when his eyes were dazzled with the glittering and drawn swords of his subjects , who reselutely seized him a » d brought him back prisoner to Whitehall .

( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) A brave people will n < ver be bullied out of their liberty , and surely the- time is come that the bravery of Eagliahmen should be shswn . Mr . Cronin sat down amid deafening cheers . The ChjurHan pat . the resolution , which was carried amid the most thundering applause .
Mr . C . B . Vodsq , of Cleeswell-hill , moved the next resolution aa follows : —w > Tbat thw meeting deem it absolutely nwcessary , that the General Convention of the industrious classes meet immediately to carry the wi * Hes of the people effrct , in order that tkty ( tbe people ) may know what remedies to apply " ; seeing that the patience of barest and industrious men i < completely exhausted and outraged by a banditti af middle-men emplayers , who coerce their wc-rkmeB , for their political principle . Their lite * are jeopardised by a host of Government upies now prowling aboat for prey ; and in our representatives , G . J . Harney , Dr . Taylor , and R- Lowry , we renew oor confidence and will support them . " Mr . Young then said , The sooner the Convention met
the better—and the sooner the people looked to themselves the safer . And let them , as in duty bonnd , rally round and protect every patriot who suffered in their cause , either at home or abroad ; he should at all times be found ready to contribute his mite , and seite , if called on , tie monster of corrap rioa by the boras . He deemed Mr . O'Connor ' s plan , for a National Defence Fond , absolutely nece&sary . 11 was a noble undertaking and worthy the name of at least one bonect and generous Irishman . Mr . John Brooke briefly seconded the resolution . The Chairman thtn introduced G . J . Hakney to the meeting . He was greeted with several rounds of applause . He congratulated them on th * noble display they bad made that evening , though he understood some had intimated that they shonld not ar dare not meet . ( A voice il We never shall ask

Cdstom ^ s perhaps the best legal index , and to it tbe men of Birmingham look for their present right to * me « t in \ ht Bull Ring . For several nights , tenifef thoHsands of the working men have paraded ' tbe streets , witH banners , and ultimately took up their station in the Bull Ring ; as the renegades mcreasefl in their determination to suppress tiose meetings , the resolution of the people to hold them became daily strengthened , until
Monday last , when their wonhips thbught of blocking up the way , with a limping , hoppin / r , hobbUng set of old pensioners , and special coiutables , to the number of 400 . At half-past' seven o ' clock , Mr . O'Connor , who was then m Birmingham , having heard of the determiaatioa of the magistrates , walk <> d alone to the Bull Ring , when he was instantly reeognised by the people and loudly cheered , he passed onto Moor-street , in order to witness the proceedings of the Fejaale Political Union , a report of whose interesting proceedings willbts found in our columns . Moor-street is close to tbe Bull King , and Mr . O'CoDnor requested that in the event of any appearance of tVe authorities h » should be sent tor . After he had addressed the
women , he was culled out and informed that the magistrates were in ene » f the upper rooBS in full conclave ; and had went for the military . Mr . O'Connor , accompanied by Mr . Frost , immediately proceeded te the Bull Rin ^ , when the former gentleman moumted the tempoporary hustirgs which was a Htep ladder , and wa < greeted with the most trem-ndoos cheering we ever beard . Ho said , Brother Radicals , I come not here to join in auy defiance , but I come to throw the shield of my protection over yon . ( Cheers . ) You have a right to meet her ? , I have not , and therefore , though there is protection for you , there is none for m ~ , * utnmger and therefore ah intruder ; but Leone h . ert because 1 understand aa armed Jorce is here ,
and where danger presents itself i » the n ' t and proper place for those who take part in this glerious cause . ( L > ud cheers . ) I fear no dangur , I defy the magistrates , God u over me , the cause is under me , and vou are around me . ( Renewed cleers . ) My friend acd yoar friend . Frost , is aUo here —( enthusiastic cheering)—and my request te you is that for tbe present you fellow me to Gosta Green , where we will discuss yoar rights , and J shall addre ?» you upon other subjects also . ( Loud cheers and waving of hats , and kl We'll follow you anywhere . ") Thea said Mr . O'Connor let os show oar strength and our union by going in procefsien . The procession was thf n formed , Mr . O'Conuor and Mr . Fiost walking at the head , and proceeded , cheeriEg enthusiastically , to the appointed place . The procession seemed to have n « end , and although Mr . O'Connor
cid not commence hi * addresj uatil unnuntable t ' ciouisandii were present , and though he spoke at great lecgth , yet so great was the excitement and to dense was the mass , that the end of the procession had not arrived till the meeting broke np ; however the rear was as important as the advance , b ? - cause display of courage , and not speeching was , the object . Mr . O'Connor addressed the meeting upon the necessity of perseverance , and the propriety of dispnting every inch of ground with the enemy . ( Loud cheers . ) He explained that during the anti-tithe meetings in Ireland , the strangers who left their own localities were punis&ed as _ intruders , while the inhabitants were admitted a greater latitude ; he had not read the act under which the worshipful reformers claimed the right oi tyranny , but he pledged himself
to do so on Tuesday , and to give the people his opinion . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Fkost was subsequently introduced , and was received with enthu > iastic cheering . He encosraged the men of Birmiegham to persevwe , assuring them tint within that week he had addressed 50 , 000 W elsbm'n , who were unanimous in looking to Birmingham as their great leader ; he observed that if we did aot now eucceed , tae insolence and presumption of the authorities would tenfold increase , and the people ' s misery would iacrease with it ; he , like Mr . O'Connor , never would desert the people , but the people also must work hard . Mr . Frost concluded amid loud and baarty cheers , and again the vast assemblage marshalled under their banners and followed Frost and O'Connor to their
desti-. Shortly after tbe party hadlaft the Bull Ring , the magistrates bethought themselves of a conquest , and accordingly they occupied the vacant space with 400 ruffians , who impeded the passage and became trespassers , committing nuisances which jost magistrates would have removed ; but that w * a not all , for just as O'Connor and his party were marnhalling the procession , a detachment of cavalry moved towards the ground , but on witnessing something or other , we know Lot what , they were countermanded , and thus by prudence and jndgment , were vampires once more baulked of their repast . Aftor the meeting on the Green , however , so determined are ihoet brave fellows to uphold a right , that . several thousand took possession of the Bull Rin * .
when many addressed the meeting , and remained in nouses ; sion of the ground till nearly eleven o ' clock , and hurling defiance at ail opposition , and then separated without the slightest damage to person or property , whereas , if the steam jmticen had put their resolution into effect of setting the military or any force upon the-people , they would hive shared the fate which their presumption and ignorance had prepared for other * .

Semocb Riotb . —About a fortnight , sinoe , Jn the night , a mob set fire to and destroyed nearly the whole of the Toll-house , at a place called Evelwen , near Llandissilio , in the county of Pembroke . -A short time after handbills appeared on many public doors , stating that a meeting would-be held- at a certain place ( fixing the day to meet , near Llandissilio , aforesaid ) , to take into consideration the propriety of a toll-gate , &c , at Evelwen . .. Information of the mating being given to the , magistrates of the neighbourhood , with a statement that it w » s expected the rietous mob would proceed ; from the same meeting to Evelwen , for the purpose of destroying the tollgate and toll-bouse , several special coustables were sworn inand sent te Evelwen . About ten o ' clock , on the evening expeeted , a mob of about 400 men , some dreaned in women ' s clothes , and OtherB with
their faces blackened , marched to the toll-gate , huazairg for free laws , and toll-gatea free to coalpir . 8 and kilns ; and after driving the constables from their stations , and pursuiug them to the fields adjoining , they returned to the gate , and most outrageously set to work in demolishing the toll-gate aad toll-house ; and in the course of three hours the house was torn down to within three . feet of the ground , the gate shattered to pieces with large sledge-hammers , aud the posts of the gates sawed off and carried away . On Saturday night last a third riotous mob marched on , armed with guns , &c . to a toll-gate , near St .

COAL PIT EXPLOSION AT SOUTH SHIELDS . GREAT LOSS OF LIFE . A most dreadful and lamentable explosion , attended witk n vast sacrifice of human life , occurred at tbe St . Hilda ' s Collh ry , the property of Messrs . Vf . and J . Brandling , ( from which are procured the coals kaown by the name af the ' St . Hilda ' s Wnllsend , ' ) yesterday week . The first notice oftheexpleskn given at the mouth of the pit was about a quarter to nine o ' clock , when the banksman was alarmed by seeing the smoke from the pit furnace , mixed with fragments of small coals , ascending the down cast sbait .
A short time after , the men and boys to the number of about a hundred were brought to the mouth of the pit j but the only thing they could tell wa < that an explosion had taken place , in what is called the west tforkinjj af the pit . Me . ny of these were nearly exhausted fiom the effects of the chokedamp , but those * ho were sufficiently well again , in n sh » r : time , descended the pit , accompanied by some otier of tbe men .. who had not been downi for the purpose of making what exertions they possibly could fur the rescue ot the men and boys who were left behind . However , none were found alivy ; and about eleven o ' clock the bodies of the sufferers began to be brought to the bank . One by oue the sufferers were brought out from
the shaft , presenting in their relaxed frames , dull eyeg and features in which life seomed perhaps still liagerine , object * of deep interest . As they were carried by their comrades down to the carts which were in waiting to convey them away , th ? y were recognised by a brother , a wife , or a child ; and the terribly agony that was exhibited it is impossible to describe . The most earnest and unremitting exertions were made by the medical men present , but generally ia vain ; not one instance having occurred , we believe , in wLich inflation of the lumgs was BUCcesBfttily resorted te . The judicious application of the proper remsiies , were , however , we have reason to believe , useful in somn coses which might otherwise have terminated fatally .
The bodies of the sufferers were Hot much burnt or mutilated , as is generally snpposed . Thjhair in many instances was sisgj-d and the skin here and there blackened ; but in other respect * the bodies presented no unusual appearance . The simultaneous natttre of the explosicn , and tho immediate exhaustion of the flaaa . iu fire-damp , usually prevent any expensive burns or deep injuries , except to those who may be caught in the midst of the flames ; and most of tho deaths which occurred in the present ca » e hi » ve doubtless resulted from the effects of tho carbonic acid g » s ( or choke-damp of the miners ) which is generated by the combustion of th » inflammable gas .
After two or thrae and twenty had been brought to the bank , however , in the state described , the bodies began to be shockingly mutilated , the skiu coming off at the touch , —so that a quantity of flanael was seat down in order to wrap tke mangled remains . Although there are said to have been only about sixty persons workieg in the neighbourhood of the explosioa , yet as there were upward * of 150 men down the pit , the general distress and anxiety were much increased . As the scene of the explosion was nearly two miles from the shait , and the choke damp must have extendod to a considerable distance from the point where it occurred , the difficulty of reaching the sufferers , and the danger and
srallintry of those who sought for them , will be in some measure evident to the common reader . It is true most 0 / those engaged in the arduous dut y were influenced by parental , fraternal , or filial affection in their dangerous task ; but many of the noble fellows were instigated only by common humanity and sympathy , and many of them , after having been brought almost lifeless to the pit mouth , and being revived a little by the fresh air , again d scended to tbe scene of death . Brothers , pale and quivering , staggered from the coif to the outside of tho crowd , for fresh air , and with a few brief and simple words of affection and agony , again , scarcely yet recovered , entered the vehicle , and retorsed in search of him they had lost . An old maa , whose three sons were
misstfcg , who had been twice brought up to the light of day almost dead , and who , in hU pale fea-Jure ? , feeble frame , and quivering Upsftdwplayed th ? effects of the poison he had be-n inhaling , and the insupportable grief that preyed upon him , again attempt-. d to rush to the fatal spot , whence , as from the tomb , he had just issued , bat wag detained by force . ' Bnt our pen fails in the attempt to convey some faint imagination of this deplorable calamity to onr readers . Carts containing three or four dead bodies left the yard from time to time , surrounded by groups of agonised mothers , sisters , wives , and daughter * , screaming , and blind wi-th grief . One poor woman , the wife of the poor man of whom we have just spoken , aa being detained from risking h «
life the third time down the pit , attracted particular atteabon . Three of her children had been at the fatal spot , and one of them lay dead before her Her grief for a time over this poor little boy was terrible . But gradually she stole ap to the door near the pat mouth , throogh which the dead bodies were borne . She still had another boy , whose fate was doubtful , aad she left the dead toveaauire after him who might itill bo living . Hope was stronger than despair . It was , therefore , with feelings of exquisite distress , that those who saw het , beheld aer other little boy borne lifeless past her . The sight k- ^ k ^ , ** ? ' ? **» H vnmg ahnek which burst from her heart , few who htard will ovor forget . « - »« u . wm
