Terrible Colliery Explosion in England. The explosion in the collieries of Messrs. Insole <fc Cos., at Cymnoer, four teen miles above Cardiff, has prodnced consequences hitherto unparalleled in the melancholy history of colliery acci dents in South Wales. It appears that on Tuesday morning llCorllT men and boys went down into the Cymmer pit, little anticipating the horrible catastrophe about to occur. The two firemen whose duty it was to examine the pit, to ascertain if there was any foul air or gas in it, re-ascended at about 6 o’clock, pronouncing the pit safe. In less than an hour after—in deed, before some had stripped of their clothes to commence work—the terrible gas exploded, and the affrighted people ran hither and thither for a few moments. Then one fell in the dark, and others staggering along stumbled on their dead companions and fell dead also. Here some were struggling amid the tortures of the fire; there a train full of boys all dead; and in other places,in sidlings or niches in tiie level, men sat down to await their fearful doom, and had died with their elbows resting on their knees and their faces buried in their hands.— Some had struggled forward, no doubt hoping te reach the airways and possibly escape. The screams of the wives and mothers at the mouth of the pit—those women congregated their to await and recognize the dead—as during the long interval that ensued between the period when the first intelligence of the explosion spread on Tuesday morning till the last body was brought out on the morning of Wednesday, were frightful and distress ing. Allday long the brave fellows who ventured down, almost in the face of death, to bring up the dead, sent up the bodies of the unfortunate men and boys who had perished, aud when these were brought to the surface the recognition of a beloved husband or darling child awoke harrowing cries. On Wednesday morning the 110th body was brought out, and it was left to conjecture wheth er any still lay in the pit of death. It was supposed, however, that all who had perished were now brought up. A Curious Claim. Mr. Samuel \V. Chambers, of Iloone county, Ky., is now in this i-itv, for the purpose of prosecuting a heavy claim for real estate. The estate is valued at over §20,000.000. It consists of twen ty acres of land in one of the best parts of this city. It was granted to hisgre-at great-grand father by Wm. Penn, in 16- 09. The deed was in possession of an ancestor at Chester when that town was taken by the BiitLli, aud carried to the State archives for safety aud is now in Harrisburg. Mr. Chambers seems to have worked at the ease with rare fidelity for many years. Ilia great difficulty has been to establish his ancestry by documentary evidence; in this he has finally succeed ed. He is now in possession of the mar riage certificate of his great-great-grand father, and also those of every one of his descendants down to his father. The certificate of 1G99 is one ,drawn in the style peculiar to the Quakers of those days. A copy of it is in his possession! which is written in a Bible bearing date 1631. This Bible was printed “by Ro bert Parker, printer to the king’s most excellent majesty.” The Chambers family removed from Philadelphia to Delaware, where many now reside. — Samuel Chambers is duly authorized to prosecute the claim for ail the descend ants. He lias employed J. W. Steven son, an eminent lawyer'of Covington, Kv., to supervise the business, and con sulted very eminent counsel here. There seems to be a very curious provision in the deed from Win. Penn, which, taken in connection with a still more curious statute of our State, passed during'the Revolution, in regard to proprietary .rights, which prevents the statute of lim itation from running against it. Mr. Chambers designs to prosecute for its re covery.—Philadelphia Times. Taken Ik. —The South Carolina Times, alluding to the late assault of Mr. Stan wood, of Massachusetts, by B. W. Vicks, of North Carolina, in New York, says; When Mr. Vicks was about to leave North Carolina in company with Mr. Haywood on a Northern pleasure tour, he was requested by the State authori ties to take with him a negro who had been sentenced to banishment from North Carolina for a glaring outrage upon the laws of that State. Mr. V. con sented, and on his arrival at the hotel in Philadelphia ho registered his name Vicks and servant. Soon after the Ab olitionists appeared and used every per suasion to induce the uegro to abscond ; and he informed Mr. Vicks that they had offered him §oo to run off. Mr. V. advised the boy to demand §IOO. — The amount was paid, and the banished negro, who w.is taken to the North to be left there, received aid unexpectedly, and is now residing among a class of peo ple altogether worthy his association. Yellow Fever at the New York Quarantine. At the meeting of the Commissioners of Emigration, yesterday afternoon, it was stated that the number of cases of yellow fever now in the Marine Uospi.- al of Staten Island is fouiteen, which is a decrease compand with the last week ly report. Up to Ihe time that was made, the whole number of patients ad mitted to the Hospital from this disease was thirty-six—all of whom were from on shipboard, with the exception of two or three, attacked after landing at the Quarantine station. It was also stated that two of the em ployees at the Hospital Were attacked, in each ease with a fatal result. One was the engineer attached to the Hospit al work-house, and the other an assist ant. In each instance the origin of the disease was traced to a cargo of rags from Leghorn, landed on the wharf at Quarantine. Yesterday the health ofli. cer, by order of the Board of Health, (in the absence of any action on the part of the owners) ordered the rags to be destroyed bv sinking them in the bay. The Commissioners, at their meeting yesterday, passed resolutions requiring the physician of the Marine Hospital, to make daily reports of the number and names of all persons admitted with this disease, the names of the vessels bring ing them, and the por(3 from whence they sailed. This is done with a view to correct the exaggerated reports which have gained circulation, in the absence of facts. Dr. James Harcourt, of Staten Island, who has been connected with the hospit al for the last twenty years, was appoint ed a special physician to aid the physi eian-in-chief, Dr. Harris. Dr. F. E. Martindale, deputy Health Officer, has been attacked with the yel low fever, but is now convalescent. From the prompt and efficient mea‘ sures adopted by the Health Officer, Dr. Thompson, together with the liberal pro visions of the Commissioners of Emi gration in the management of the Ma rine Hospital, it will be readily seen that there is no occasion for any alarm res pecting the health of the city. —JTew York Jour Hal of Commerce , July :11st- Brunswick and Florida Rail road. The friends of Brunswick and Tliomas ville, will be truly gratified to learn that this Road is now under contract from the Satilia to the Florida line, in the di rection of i’allahasse. The division, from Big Creek to the Alapaha, will bo constructed rapidly by the gentlemen who undertook the contract at Brunswick last May, and by citizens of Thomas, Lowndes, Clinch ami Ware who have subsequently signed with them. From the Alapaha to Thomasviile, the road has been let to three of the most responsible arid substantial citizens of this country, and from Thomasviile to the Florida line the work has been committed to the hands of a gentleman amply able to execute a much heavier contract AH these contractors engage to grade and furnish superstructure for the road, the company binding themselves to lay the iron upon every consecutive section of ten miles, as soon as tho same shall be completed. This arrangement secures to Thomasviile the Brunswick & Florida Railroad beyond the possibility of delay or failure, it has been entered into after mature deliberation, and with the earnest determination, on tho part of all parties interested to go about ft as their settled and permanent policy. We shall decline consequently, as we liavo previ ously intimated, to discuss with our co temporaries the now valueless questions of responsibility as regards tho delay in the organization of the Main Trunk Company, or whether “ tho stock in the Atlantic &Gulf Railway will pay sooner than stock in a single road from Thom Se ville to Brunswick.

C. Aver, who invented the Cherry Pec toral and Cathartic Pills. As these ar ticles (more particularly the Cherry Pectoral) are the most prevalent repre sentatives of American products, and as many thousands there as well as here, owe to them the recovery of their health from malignant diseases, it is not strange they should hold the inventor in esteem, but it is rather simple in them to suppose that the Doctor is the only man of mark we have among our twenty-five million of people,— Chistian Advocate, -Jfoftces. Hollow ay’s Pills, an unparrallel- Remedy for Female Complaints.—The Daughter oi Mrs. Henderson, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, was for a long time in a very peculiar and delicate state of health, the mother tried a variety of reme dies, but without the young lady deriving any oeuefit. Asa final recourse she tried Holloway’s 1 ills, which she three weeks; and found they considerably improved her; by continuing with these wonderful Fills for ten days more, all obstructions were quickly removed* and she has since enjoyed the best of health. yhe Great Restorative. ■FEVER AND AGUE (HIRED BY DR. >P LAXE’S LIVER PILLS. Mr. Jonathan iloughman, of West Union, Park County, Illinois, writes to the proprietors, Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, that he had suffered greatly from a severe and protracted attack of Fever and Ague and was completely restored to health by the use of the Liver Pills alone. These Pills unquestionably possess great tonic proper ties, and can be taken with decided advantage for many diseases requiring tho invigorating remedies; but the Liver Pills staud pre-eminent as a means ot restoring a disorganized Liver to healthy action; hence the 'great celebrity they have attended. The numerous formidable dis eases arising from a diseased Liver, which so long baflled the skill of the most eminent phy sicians of the United States are now rendered easy of cure, thanks to the study and persever ance of the distinguished physician whbsefname this great medicino bears—a namo which wii 1 descend to posterity as one deserving of grati tude. This invaluable medicine should always be kept within reach; and on the appearance of the earliest symptoms of diseased Liver, it can be safely and usefully administered. will be careful to ask for Dr. M’Lane’s CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, manu factured by FLEMING BROS, pf Pittsburg u> Pa.

C., writes, under date of May 1, as fol lows ; “ I have heard of many cases of decided beneficial effects from its use, especially in Asthma, rfnd Chronic Cough of spasmodic char acter. I havo used the Wild Cherry a great deal in practice, and with marked goods results. “ Every one knows the reputation of the Tur pentine and Balsam constituents in protracted cough. The combination of these principles in WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, is ingenious and judicious. “ Medical men are justly distrustful of Patent Medicines in general, but candor must discrimi nate between outrageous nostrums and humbugs and those medicines which have proved salutarv aud in many well-attested cases, curative.” None genuine unless signed 1.

A Certain Cure for this Disease may bo found in the use of Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer. Dubuque , lowa, May 5, 1850. Gentleman: —l feel under obligations to you for the benefit I have received from you invalu able Pain Killer. A few days since I assisted in laying out and burying one of our citizens who was supposed to have died with tho cholera. The next morning I was taken with severe vomit ing, accompanied with coldness of the extremi ties. Warm covering and hot applications failed to restore warmth. My wife’s family, who had used the Pain Killer with success during the cholera season in Buffalo, in 1840, advised me to take it. I took two doses at intervals of fifteen minutes; a fine perspiration ensued, and the next day, barring a little weagness, I was well, and have been since. Since my recovery I find that several of our citizens have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for cholera, pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure in recommend ing it to a still more extensive notice. Aug. 2. W. M. Cuozier, Att’y at Law. A Word for the Little Ones. tfW* The comfort and health of their children is the legitimate source of much anxiety to those parents who wish to perform faithfully their duties to their offspring, and yet this very anxiety prompts them often to seek the aid of medical men, '{who of course must give something to the child to gratify the parent,) while, in nine cases out of ten, all that the child requires is a gentle and skilful friction, so as to arouse to ac tiou the M minute superficial vessels so apt to become torpid in infancy;” for this reason the most experienced nurses and physicians have never ceased, since its great virtues were uni versally known and acknowledged, to recom mend the “ Balm of Thousand Flowers,” which creates great elasticity aud strength of limb, general health of body, and beauty of complex ion: all which is remarkably apparent in those children who have been judiciously subjected to the benign and sanitary influence of tho “Balm.’ For sale in Madison at the Book Store by Benj.
