.;. An .explosion of jfire damp in a quartz mine'is an-occurrence which tew would expect. This gas, generated from oarbon ordecayed vegetable matter, is frequent enough in coal mines, where provision is ma'deto prevent loss of life by explosions, by the.use ofisafbty lamps faud other approved means, but an actual explosion of ifire damp.ftcqurredin the, Urown; Prince •mine; .:oa., the; night pf/Juae : .,4,~vvhieh time,. likeiy to ( pause gre t at destruction,and loss of life.'

for ten minutes, and finally died out. On Saturday, morning another attempt was made to stop up the hole by one of the workmen, but his candle again set the &e damp in a flame, which burst oat in his face and scorched his shirt and clothes considerably i i It'-jis 'difficult jfo' account 'for "the existence of" this "gas. Several theories have been started; one is that there is a seam of coal in the vicinity, but this seems improbable. The theory which is most reasonable ds that in driving to seaward the lode, has been followed to what was once the surface of the bed; rock, and that the slide, as it is called, is lying on the top of this rock; there has "been a quantity of vegetable matter lying on the rock, which has decayed, and that the gas generated from this has; been< confined nnfi) thg made^ah'aperture 1 fof-iHiito'thtf Croiwn Prince workings. Or perhaps.the vegetable matter is in the slide. This is by no means improbable, for in the slide in the Bright Smile mine, at a depth of 220, feet, charcoal was found, and in the Moanataiari slide at the" Kuranui Hill tunnel level, at a depth of 200 feet from the!surface, a portion of tho f tr.unk,oj,a large treff' w'as l: ' found* ; som'd 'time 'ago.' These slides must have been immense chasms at one time, which in course of .fcinib became filled up with all sorts of . stuff which washed into them. Since the explosion above menfioned/'.another has occprred, but effective means have now been taken to have the mine ventilated. There is no apprehension of fire damp in other mines on the field. . A serious accident occurred on the 24th ultimo in the Caledonian mine, by which a miner naiiiedjifo'orecFoft was/seycrely crushed by'failrag4ock?-' , He was engaged with another in removing a prop from underneath a large. rock in one of the workings, when it fell, upon him, breaking his ribs and inflicting othor injuries. is progressing as favourably'as the severity of his injuries will permit. John Boss had his collarbone broken whilst Matiukaui jHe is progressing favourably. A member of jthe Naval Brigade named Grasey sustained severe injuries by falling from the root of the Waval Hall, where ho had clipbed to adjust a .ropejpr gymnastic exercises. ■ . * :

The iron broke away the staging and fell into the pumpwell below, deceased falliug after it into the open column-below. The fall was 70 feet, into~'water and gas, and wlien the body was picked up by means of Jgrappling irons some time 'afterwards it was found that deceased had received fatp.l injuries before reaching,the water.

A subscription amounting to £9i 15s. has been made iu aid of the wilow ; and family of a miner named ACc Vuliffa, who was accidentally killed in a mine. The workmen of the Old Whaumine presented Mr John Borfchwick, their late manager, with an illuminated'address and a gold locket.
