STAFFORDSHIRE.

The undermined works of a coal-pit at Bradley, in which twelve men and boys were employed, feil in on Tuesday, August 10th, and buried under the fall eight of the men and two boys: the two others escaped with difficulty. Seven of the men had wives (four of them pregnant) and in the whole twenty-four children. Notwithstanding they were given over as lost, it was resolved to make a road to them, from an adjoining pit, by cutting through the solid coal nearly seventy yards, in an horizontal direction. The work was immediately begun, and continued night and day until about one o'clock on Monday, when it was completed. A great number were constantly employed at clearing away, but one man only at a time could work at cutting with the pike, and was relieved about every half hour. It providentially happened that a short time prior to the accident, there had been a fall of the roof in that part of the pit, which formed a kind of bank, upon which all of them, except one man, climbed, and secured themselves from the ill effects of the sand and water. Nearly from the time the work was begun, the striking of the pike was heard by the men who were enclosed in the pit, and this induced them to exert themselves, and endeavour to cleanse a head-way which was known to them in the direction which the miners were cutting, and they actually cleared six yards of sand with only a small board, about eight inches square, to carry it away upon; they also endeavoured, by thumping at intervals against the coal, to give a signal and direction to the workmen, but it was not heard until four o'clock on Monday morning, and at the same time a voice was distinctly heard to say, “Go to the left" This animated the workmen to, if possible, more vigorous exertion, and at the time before named the pike struck through. They were attended in a coach to their houses, after being enclosed nearly seven days, during which time the only sustenance they received, was a little water which dropped from the roof, and which they caught in a small iron pan. John Keeling, a man with a wife and six children, was not found; but on Wednesday evening, about eight o'clock, the dead body of John Keeling was dug out of the mine; the other nine being nearly recovered.
