1821.] 
October, deeply lamented by an only sister 
who attended him, and by a brother who also 
survives, by several nieces, and a large circle 
of friends. 
His Grace was at Woburn during Mr. 
Salmon’s illness, on account of which he ma¬ 
nifested great anxiety, ottering repeatedly to 
send for any medical assistance which Mr. S. 
or his friends might think desirable; but Mr. 
S. was too sensible of his approaching efid, to 
which he was perfectly resigned,- to allow 
this to be done. By desire of his Grace, nearly 
all his servants in the Woburn establishment, 
471 
followed Mr. Salmon’s remains to the grave. 
He was interred in the same vault which, 
about ten years ago he provided in Woburn 
church-yard, to receive the remains of an affec¬ 
tionate wife ; and which, to his inexpressible 
grief, had three years after l>een opened again 
to receive the body of his only child, a very 
promising girl. It is conjectured, that his 
Grace means to cause a suitable monument 
to be erected over the grave of this misty and 
valuable servant of his noble family, and bene¬ 
factor to his country and species.

With all the Marriages and Deaths. 
NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
CT. 23, a tragical eatastrophe occurred 
at Carville colliery, near Newcastle. 
The workmen employed in it had been se¬ 
lected as the prime, from the whole of the 
extensive works, and the ventilation was 
considered as complete as that of any mine 
on the river. There is a band (i. e. a stra¬ 
tum of stone) in the coal, and it was ne¬ 
cessary to use candles in blasting it. At 
the time above-mentioned, when fifty-five 
persons were in the mine, an explosion of 
dydrogen gas took place, which killed 
fifty-two of them, dreadfully burnt two 
others, one of whom is since dead, and 
only one miraculously escaped unhurt. 
The explosion shook the ground like an 
earthquake. The body of one boy was 
blow n high out of the shaft, and fell again 
to the bottom. By this lamentable event 
twenty-six widows, and between eighty 
aud ninety children have been deprived of 
their support. Forty of the sufferers were 
under forty years of age. One of them 
told his wife on the fatal morning, that he 
had dreamt the pit was blown up, and she 
affectionately entreated him not to go, but 
he waved her advice. The man who es¬ 
caped, in the course of an hour, bravely 
ventured down again to the mine, to assist 
in bringing up his companions. An in¬ 
quest was held on the bodies, and the ver¬ 
dict was, that “ the sufferers accidentally 
came by their deaths by an explosion of 
hydrogen gas in the workings of the col¬ 
liery.” They were decently buried in 
Walls-end Church-yard, at the expense of 
the owners of the colliery, who presented 
each family with a guinea for present use, 
and will afford them houses, fuel, &c. as 
long as they may need them ; but we have 
little doubt but the benevolence of the pub¬ 
lic will, on this occasion, step forward to 
alleviate the anguish of this long train 
of mourners. 
Six men perished lately at Newbottle 
colliery, from inadvertently breaking down 
a stopping that led into an old waste, 
whence a suffocating gas issued.
