Distressing A ccidewt at Moskweabmobth Colxiest . —On Thursday evening a consideraole sensation was occasioned in teanderiaud by & rep rt that two pitmen engaged at Monkwrarmouth Colliery , the property of Messrs . Pemberions , had lost their lives whilst prosecuting iheir dangerous calling . It was at firel reported that an explosion bad taken place , but thiB , it Sras speedily ascertained , was not tfce case . It appears that two men , named John Coxon , and John Nesham , were on this evening proceeding down the back shaft , which is separated from tbe principal and working portion of the pit by a brattice , in which is the pump for clearing out the water works , for the purpose of ascertaining that the spears of the pump and the Bhaf t generally were
in working order . Tney were equipped , as is uouai on pursning their avocations , with torches and the implements necessary for the performance of their -duty . Their mode of descent is by a si ng or loop , in which a piece of wood is affixed for a seat . They had not on ihis occasion descend * d far , before one of the spears broke , and falling with great force upon then , they were precipiiavea down the shatt . Whether they were dashed to pieces on pome of the wood crossings , which support the pump , or had fallen into "the sumo" ( ihe collect ! - n of mod and water ai the bottom of the pit ) , 200 fathoms from the surface , "Sf as for a lengthened period doubtful . As soon aB the naoessary preparations conld be made ( it being requisite first to repair the broken epear ) , t « ro men proceeded down the shaft to discover , if possible , the
bodies of iheir nnfbrinnate companions . At a late hour at night the mutilated remains of one of the men were found in tbe " cistern hole , " about sixty fathoms from the bottom of tbe back shaft . The body of the other man was brought to bank on inursday morning . The most iniemse exoiiement prevailed in the immediate neighbourhood of the catastrophe , and the most active and praiseworthy exer&ons were made by-the pitmen to obtain the JJJ ' * . ° * - comrades , whoBe Lved have been thus Eau 2 S 3 ra ! rt - Co * m .- wl » has left * wife Colliery company ; and it is singular that he was lately heard to say that he would not £ there longmeaning some accident would probably overtake him-a presentiment which had been awfully r ^ lissd .
