The first meeting of the Queen ' s

      . ALARMING COLLIERY ACCIDENT NEAR BRISTOL .-SEARLY FIFTY MEN BURIED . AIjIV E . .. _ - The city of Bristol , and its neighbouring snburb Bedmmster , was throughout Friday nieht and Saturday last scenes of the most rainful and intern excitement and suspense , ia consequence ot its i ^ ommg known that a portion of the shaft of the . North Side Colliery at the latter place had given way , and from forty to fifty men and boys were buried alive m the pit ' ALARMING COLLIERY ACCIDENT NEAR BRISTOL .-SEARLY FIFTY un imHS

      . The accident is said to have been occasioned during the raising of a cart load of coal , which , when at above ninety fathoms from the surface of the shaft , swayed against the side , and carried away some of the timbers with which the wall was packed , thus loosening and throwing down a considerable portion of the side of the shaft , and doing nuscbM to so serious an extent , that for very many uoura little hope was entertained that any of ihe poor fellows below would ever be got out alive . to the of

      The men and boys ^ number between forty and fifty , had descended to their work at six o ' clock on Friday morning , and the accident occurred about four or five houra afterwards ; but its occurrence did not generally become known out of the pit yard for some considerable time afterwards , when the wives and relations of the missing colliers began to rush to the colliery , giving vent to their fears and grief in piercing shrieks and piteous cries , and producing a scene of the most painful kind which it has ever been our lot to witness .

      The fall of the shaft was distinctl y heard from above ground , and as soon aa the cart had been landed , men were sent down to examine the mischief , and they returned with heavy hearts and gloomy countenances , perceiving , as they did , that the work of repairing the shaft so as to enable persons with safety to descend to the bottom of the pit , a depth of 135 fathoms , wonld occupy a very lengthened period , as it could only be reached by men suspended in the bucket , only three of whom could be employed at a time . However , the reparation seemed to be the only effort that could be used , and it was set about heartily , the men working in relays , and evincing a readiness and unanimity to rescue the sufferers in the' pit whioh reflected honour on them . - ¦ • ¦

      From eleven in the day till nine on Friday night was consumed in this way , the mSn working incessantly , but without making any perceptible progress , with further portions of the shaft now and then giving way and falling to the bottom , and without any intelligence having been gained of the men below , whose fate was considered as being in a most precarious . state . At about half-past nine o'clock , Mr . Knight , proprietor of the Ashton Yale coal pit , volunteered his services to descend as far as the mischief , in order to see if he could ascertain anything to enable him to judge of the position of the men and boys below . The period of Mr . Knight ' s absence was , to the numbers gathered around the month of the pit , one of the most

      painful anxiety . Upon his return , however , he was enabled to announce the gratifying intelligence that two " of the hands , at all events , were alive . De stated that having got as far as it was safe to go , he listened and beard somebody below open and close the air hatch ; and , upon bia hailing them , - a man answered him and asked for lights and something to eat :- The men 'from above continued working to get the shaft repaired , and succeeded in passing some food to the two men in the top vein , - who made other efforts to make those below hear , hut could get no . answer ; so that the fate of the forty below seemed to be of the most hopeless kind . At . about three o ' clock on Saturday morning it becoming increasingly evident that to repair the

      shaft so as to admit of the usual pit bucket descending would be a work occupying a very long time , Mr . Rennold , of the Malago Vale colliery , made a proposition for attempting in some decided manner the rescue of the two poor fellows who were known to be alive . He- proposed that one or two extra shields or bonnets should be fixed above the' bucket chains , that some ropes with nooses , through which mi * ht pass their legs , should be suspended under them , and that this apparatus should be lowered to Braine and Phillips , so as to enable them to escape by its use . A small bucket was prepared , and a man named Sorth having in the most gallant manner volunteered to peril the descent , he was lowered to the

      first vein , and in a short time brought up the two men . Their accounts gave little hope of the Others . Phillips said he did not believe that there was a soul alive below , as he had himself crawled up to the month of the tip leading to the bottom vein , and had hammered and holloaed , but without having been able to evoke any answer . Braine also expressed his apprehensions , but considered it possible that the men might have got to a part of the vein remote from the tip , and thought that some efforts ought to be made to descend into the bottom vein , which he thought might be done by means' of a reel or windlass . Several men undertook to make this attempt ; and having cautiously descended in three parties to the upper veina bucket

      , was lowered to them , in which were a windlass prepared for erection , a canvass tube for an air shaft , and a piece of rope to Jo wer into the bottom vein . After waiting for some time below , the signal was given to haul up , and the men returned to the surface , having been unable to accomplish their purpose . They stated that the air was sdfoulthat it was impossible to burn any lights there , and thev did not think it possible to descend the tip-shaft . Xorth , -who accompanied them , stated that he crawled on his hands and knees to the mouth of the tip " , where he hammered for ten minutes , and that he called with all his might , and could obtain ho answer , from which he inferred that all the handB

      below had been suffocated by the foul air . The men concurred in stating that any further attempt at descent would be attended with the most imminent danger , and it now seemed that no chance remained open hut by passing a wind-sail down the pit and foreing air down by' means of a revolving fan , so as to afford the men a chance of surviving till the reparation could be sufficiently completed . This plan was at once " resolved upon , and the women and men around set to work with such extraordinary alacrity that in an honr and a quarter an air tube of canvass , eighty fathoms in length , was completed . This was lowered down the pit , and air forced in inthe manner described . The men

      went on with the work as rapidly a 8 possible , but it was necessarily so tedious , and threatened to occupy such a length of time , that it was thought some other attempt ought to be made for the deliverance , if alive , of the imprisoned men . The general feeling seemed to be that the descent would be too dangerous to undertake , but at length a man , named Francis Smith , who had been before down , consented to make another effort , and he was lowered into the lower vein . Others followed his example , and their courageous conduct was rewarded with success , for , after a time , they had the satisfaction of making themselves heard by some of the men below , and of learning from them that there were none of them dead , although some of them were sinking from despair , hunger , and exhaustion , ft was now felt that no lime was to be lost . The pumping down ot the fresh air had so improved the atmosphere that candles could be

      kopt alight , and the men , having first passed some food down below , ri gged a windlass and prepared to haul up the men . By half-past three o ' clock the first of them , a man named James Peddar , had been hoisted from the bottom vein to the top one ; aud efforts were being used to bring up a second , named James Wellon , when a fresh difficulty presented Uself . The poor fellows had to crawl throu « h a very small air shaft , and Wellon , being a fusty mnn , experienced the greatest difficulty in making the passage , whereby a great deal of time was exhausted , during which the imprisoned men in the bottom vein were kept in a state of the most anxious suspense . At- length he was got through , and the work of raising the poor fellows was commenced and carried on amidst considerable danger until seven o ' clock at night , by which hour the whole of them , forty-one in number , had been brought out of the pit—rescued from what at one time appeared to be the most certain death .

      Many of them , when got out , were in a tery exhausted state , and some of them had to be carried in men ' s arms but the proprietors of the colliery bad procured the presence of medical gentlemen to attend upon the poor fellows as they were brought up , and by the administration of suitable remedies they were sufficientl y recovered to admit of their being removed to their respective homes . They state that they heard the earth and stones fall , and felt themselves blocked in ; that the air at times became so foul that they could hardly exist , and « r * r £ * S- ^ P * risn ed had they not bucceeded , by dint of great labour , in twice " tannin * . " falling earth

      water br « , ? Bt ^ . ^^ o ^ l of and water brought a little air with it . They sav that bey worked tUl three o ' clock on SaSday morn ing , when their candles were all gone , and * themselves completel y exhausted , and they gave them to the earth alive Finding tint the best air was to the bottom of the pit , they took to that , where some of them went to sleep ; others betook themseives to prayer . Subsequently , two of them forced iheir way to the entrance to the tip ,, where they heard , and were heard by , their gallant deliverers who never desisted from their exertions until everv man and boy was got out . 1

      Itisbtated that an application will be made to the Secretary of State to send down an inspector of collieries te investigate the causes of theaccident which had nearly resulted in so awful a sacrifice of human life , and that that officer will also be requested to examine the state of some other of the west of England collieries to ascertain if they are being worked upon a safe principle .

      MEETING OF SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS . FREE TRADE . On the 20 th inst . a very large meeting of the handloom ailk-weivers of Spitalfields , , was held at the Coopers' Arms , ' Cheshire-street , Bethnal-green . for the purpose of taking into consideration the pre »> sent alarming conduipn of the silk trade , it being estimated that nearl y half the looms are uiiemployed . : ' ' ' The Chairman Tiaving opened the business by requesting an impartial and patient . hearing for speakers , called upon . MimTlTJr nv "pttatdiu ,.. „ MEET 1 NG 0 F JSH ™™ HAVERS . ,

      H . Holms , . who commenced by saying , that in consequence of the great want of , employment amongBt the operatives of the district , and the misery and destitution which contequefttty pwsvlefl , together with the many complaints which da'ly reached him relative to the general ' depression , and having for years past taken an active part in matter connected with the ailk trade , he had , in conjunction with a few others , felt it his . duty . to call 8 public meeting to inquire into the cause of such'depression , with a view of adopting measures for their common benefit . ( Hear . ) He had ' watched very closely the great commercial changes which , during the last few years , had been brought about by the

      party known through the country as Free Traders s and , notwithstanding the boast of that party , thai when their measures were matured by time , and practice , they would produce universal prosperity , he had found by bitter experience that want of employment , reduction of wages , and almost universal poverty were the only results . Some three years since , when the newly converted apostle of Free Trade had enunciated his theory , * his roost destructive principle relative to commerce and the landed interest— -wh ' en , after having brought ruin . upon many hundreds , of thousands of . English artisans , by reducing the protective duties , thus throning them into an unnatural competition' with foreign

      producers—when that matKwho . has been ' so much lauded added to his many inconsistencies that greatest of all inconsistencies , the betrayal of his party , and theprostration of the lahde ^ jnterest , ; the working men of this country , were . repeatedly toid that when we recovered from the dire eifecUot the failure of the , potato crop and the scarcity of food generally , employment would be . abundant , wages would rue , and that plenty and happiness would be diffused amongst all classes . ( Hear . ) And all this was to be brought about by cheapness , by reducing agricultural produce below its , proper , its natural vajue . How absurd was such reaming , how fallacious has time proved it to be ? ( Hear . ) Pould it '

      really be supposed that the manufacturinginterest could long enjoy prosperity while the agricultural interest is prostrated ? : Must if not be evident to every thinking person that if the farmer is unable to obtain a remunerative- price for his produce he is also unable to pay a fair rate of wages to his labourers ? Is ; it not also clear that if the income of the farmer is diminished and the wages of the labourer reduced , that the means of consumpturn , are also diminished ; and by . what class will this diminution of consumption * be first felt ? Most certainly b y the manufacturing interest ; . For if income and wages are reduced the means to purchase manufactured articles are reduced also . Cheap bread

      was the universal cry raised by a party who wished to push their goods into , every market of the world , at deteriorated prices , regardless of the ruinthey were bringing upon millions connected with the soil of England . ; " Reduce rents , ' said they to ' the landowner , while they , the millocracy , were gathering their thousands and hundreds of thousands of pounds , wrung from the sinews of their wretched operatives . Well , renis have been reduced ; ' but the farmer and the labourer are still in want , are still suffering from unwise legislation . And have the weavers of . S pitalfields benefited by . the changes which have taken place ?—( loud cries of "No , no" ) -have we been better employed , better fed , er

      better clothed ? - ( "No , no" ) -are wages higher than usual , has cheapness given you an additional loaf , a coat , or a shirt ? Most certainly not . Cheapness is brought about at the sacrifice ot labour , and the rate of wages is reduced by bringing us into competition with foreign produce ™ . Surely home consumption is sufficiently intense to keep down prices , withont glutting our markets with the produce of countries where wages are scarcely known , or only nominally so . Well , after a long and painful trial of the principles of Free Trade , we find ourselves surrounded by want and wretchedness , Cheapness has not increased the demand for labour , hundreds of our looms are idlewhile the import oi

      , foreign-wrought silks is . on the increase , and this is likely to be our unfortunate condition while the present administration is in power . There is no stability in the government likely to create confi . dence amongst persons engaged either in commerce or agriculture . No person will speculate while the Whig Cabinet holds its office by suffrance only . Let a Stanley administration he formed , and an immediate change would take place . Under present circumstances a high duty on corn would be impracticable . But some protection would be afforded , not only to the agricultural , but to the manufacturing and commercial interests also . Confidence would be revived . ( Hear , hear . ) Trade would

      improve ; for , after all , a Tory administration has ever proved of hig her value to , the trading world than all the Whig political economist Free Trade Cabinets put together . ( Hear , hear . ) But how 18 this to be brought about ? Simply by returning members to the House of Commons who will sup . port the line of policy pursued by Lord Stanley and his great party . Let us not witness again the degrad . ing spectacle of hundredsand " thousands drawing such a man aB George Thompson , to the hustings , simply because he was a Free Trader , a man who would never give a single vote for the English artisan or the English labourer , who deserted his

      constituency for some speculative undertaking in America . At the next election return only such men for the Tower Hamlets as will support the enlig htened policy of those great statesmen , Richmond , Stanley , and Disraeli . Then , and nof till then , may we hope for relief from the nyseries we are enduring . ( Hear . ) The speaker concluded bymoving the following resolution ~ " That the principles of Free Trade as far as they have progressed have not only proved , a fallacy , bat a decided injury to the best interests of the country ; and that nothing short of protection to the manufacturing and agricultural interests will restore happiness and prosperity to the people at large . "

      Mr . Hornsby commenced by observing that it was all very well for millocrats to lecture landowners on the necessity of reducing rents ; but how did it happen that the owners of houses in large manufacturing towns had . increased the rent of housea occupied by operatives during the last year or two ? ( Hear , hear . ) Some of the principal advocates of Free Trade in the districts of S pitalfields and Bethnal-green had during the last twelve months materially increased the rents of the weavers , —yes , of the veiy class wbose labqnr they have depreciated . ( Hear . ) Talk of the aristocracy 1 Why they are the best friends of the people . It is the aristocracy who patronise everything of value , and who expend their money liberally and usefully : not like the monied cotton lords , who hesitate not

      to work little children almost to death for the purpose of hoarding : up money . ( Loud cries of "hear . " ) None of the prophecies of Cobden , Peel , and others have been verified : all have been falsified . Under the system of Free , Trade the Spitalfields weavers are sinking lower and lower ; wretchedness and misery seem continually to hover round them ; the cheap loaf to them is very dear ; for they lack the means to purchase ; and while the blessing of plenty is ringing in their ears they suffer all the pangs of hunger ; On the other hand , agriculture , with the millions dependent thereon , are alike suffering from the competition to which they are subjected with the serf-grown corn of Sussiaandof Poland . To destroy the landlord interest is to destroy the best customers ihe-

      manufacturers can possibly have ; to lower the conditAn of the British farmer is to depreciate the means which supports the nation . He rejoiced that the time was not far distant when a Stanley administration would be again in power ; and he agreed with the last speaker , that there was no hope for the people until the present ministry were ejected from power . He then sat down amid loud cheers . . . The resolution was adopted .

      Upon a division ; aftev some discussion , the amendment was negativod by . 140 against 131 . < Mr .

      The Solicitor-General reminded the hon . and learned member for Midhurst 'toat'the exclusion of Roman Catholics from the civil offices to which he referred depended not upon reli gious / but upon political grounds : i ; ¦ - Mr . Hume considered the measure an act of justice already too long ; delayed , and which ho hoped the government would press through parliament . Air .

      Lord'J .

He regretted to hear the hon . and learned gentleman now speak' in so different a strain . ( Hear , hear , ) It appeared to him ( Lord John-Russell ) , that while they were perfectly right in doing all they could to promote the Chriatiair religion , and its diffusion throughout the globo , they should feelthat Christianity derived no force from any mode of

      extension which could in any way or degree be called civil persecution ( hear , hear ); and it certainl y appeared to him that , the exclusion upon any such grounds of persons'from office by the power of the Legislature ; they ' being loyal subjects of Her Majesty , was aspecies of persecution altogether , inconsistent with the high and pure spirit of Christianity ( Cheers . ) ••'• ' " Mr .

      Mr .

All the facts showed that the general feeling of England was in favour of the emancipation of the Jews . The immediate object of this very bill was to establish in his seat a gentleman who had been twice elected to that house by large bodies of men , quite as gooii Christians as any of the opponents of the measure . As to Ireland , the feotin " there was almost unanimous in favour of the Jews ; with one exception , every Roman Catholic member from Ireland in that house had su pported all the staeea of this measure . : , '

      acquitted of the charges brought against him . There could be no'question ' that Jotee Persaud had rendered great services to the British , ai my during the recent campaigns , arid it was the more to be regretted that the prosecivtion had been persisted in because a government ' offlcer , to whom the matter had been referred * in the first instance for investigation , had ; reported that the charges were trumped up and unworthy of credit .

      On a division there appeared—, For the resolution ... fio Against ... 65—15 Savings Banks Failures . —Mr . Herbert moved a resolution , pledging tiro house , on some future day to consider in committee an address to the , crown , praying that a similar measure of relief mi » ht be afforded to the depositors of the late Itoohdalo , Scarborough , Tralee , and Kiliarney Savings Banks as had been already extended to the sufferers by the failure of the savings bank io Cuffe-street , Du !> lin . Tho honourable mombcr

      defended his proposition on the score of justice , sinca the depositors in the defaulting banlis had relied upon the ostensible guarantee of the government ; and urged further , ' on the score of humanity and policy , that the loss had fallen upon a very large number of very poor depositors , and that " if they were not veimbuvsi-d , at all events partially , the principle of self-denial and providence amorle ; tha operative classes would suffer a very severe shock . l , h ° cost of providing a dividend equal to that paid to the Cuffe-street depositor ? , for tlm sufferers by the banks fet forth in this resolution , he estimated at something under £ 100 , 000 .

      After some remarks from Mr . S . Cbawfoiw and Mr . D . MoRHia , ^ 'Cu anckuor . of the Exchequer submitted that by passing tho proposed resolution , the house would affirm the principle that alllosses incurred by the failure , from any cause of any savings bunks , . must ne repaid from the public revenue . 'This principle he could not admit . Explaining in some detail tho respective functions performed by tho manager , the trustees , and the government , in respect of those banks , he declared that the only responsibility assumed by the latter was that of holding a certain portion of the invested balances , and to that extent the depositor * were perfectly safe . But here he limited the liability of the p ' overnment .

      Mr . Reynolds was so fully convinced of the moral liability of the government , that he intended to demand the remaining ten shillings in the pound on ' behalf of the defrauded Cuffe-strcct depositors , ' : ¦ " I Mr . BuionT feared that the resolution would offeu a premium upon delinquency , and would result in the annual application for a vote to cover niniilar defalcations . But as the law was defective , and tha government had so far interfered with the savings banks as to lead to an impression among tho depositors that their money was placed upon a national security , he suggested as a measure ot ; justice that a ; bill should be . brought in to regulate the future liability , and that the house should take a charitably view of the past .

      Mr . Hume declared that the nation was morally liable to the suffering depositors , and could not deny their resposibility so long as the law was left in its present state of uncertainty . '¦ - Mr . Henley regretted , but could not consent td make good with publio money the losses of the savings banks depositors . Ho hoped rather tlmn expectedthat the ministry would be able to overcoma the difficulties that stood in the way of satisfactory legislation on th ' e subject . . Mr . S&ANK ? remarked upon the hardship that fell upon the working classes , for whose small savingB all other investments were impossible , and that of the banks unsafe .

      Col . Thompson believed that the sufferers now itt question had an indefeasible claim in equity upon the public purse . . Mr . J . A . Smith repudiated the assertion that tha public had rendered itself responsible , now or heretofore , for the savings banks defalcations .
