 many new, scarce, and valuable works." The

 was an explosion in Jarrow Colliery. Eight of 

 the poor pitmen were soon taken out of the mine, 

 dreadfully burnt; six of them lifeless, and the 

 other two in a shocking condition, one of whom 

 expired in the course of Saturday. What ren- 

 ders this calamity greater is, that some of the 

 sufferers have left large families.

YORKSHIRE. 



A dreadful murder was committed on the 10th 

 of February at Bancroft, near Finningley. As 

 Mr. John Dyon, a respectable farmer, was re- 

 turning home from Doncaster market, he was shot 

 whilst in the act of opening a gate leading into 

 one of his fields, through which he must pass to 

 his home. There were two persons concerned, as 

 the marks of two guns were distinctly seen in the 

 snow. We regret to add, that William Dyon, a 

 respectable farmer, and John Dyon, his son, the 

 brother and nephew of the murdered man, were, 

 on the 13th of March, committed to York Castle, 

 on suspicion of committing this horrible offence. 



There is now living at Bishopton, nearRipon, 

 an old soldier, named Francis Wilkinson, in the 

 104th year of his age. 



The York Minster organ has been greatly en- 

 larged, and a number of new stops added; it is
