Only 19 months have elapsed since we recorded the loss of 91 persons by an explosion in the colliery called Brandling Main at Felling near Gateshead. At half past one o'clock in the morning of the 24th inst. this mine again exploded, and killed 22 persons and 12 horses. 21 Persons escaped alive, 13 of whom were severely burnt, but all are likely to recover. Only one horse was saved. The persons whose work laid up the south headways, from the upcast shaft were all destroyed. Those in the boards on the north and east were saved. Some suppose that the hydrogen took fire at the crane lamp, in the south headways, as the persons and the materials of the mine, on the outside of it were much shattered, but those on the inside of it had suffered little violence, the men having perished by the choak-damp.

This explosion was every way much less severe than the former, but as it happened when the morning shift of the men were relieving the night shift, it might have been more destructive in its effect than it has been. A group of fresh men were waiting to go down, and those who had just descended met the fatal whirlwind of fire in their way to the southern boards which lie under the village of High Felling. That part of the mine is intersected with several dykes, or fissures, which not unfrequently discharge great quantities of hydrogen gas through apertures called blowers, and which make the coals on the floor dance round their orifices, like gravel in a strong spring. Whether this accident is to be attributed to one of these foul discharges, or to the falling of some stoppings, which prevented the regular ventilation of the wastes, or to some neglect of standing orders at the rarifying furnace on the upcast shaft, it is perhaps now impossible to discover ; but this is certain, that so powerful was the stream of fresh air in all the working parts of the mine, that the candles could with difficulty be kept from being blown out, and the persons employed in it, were unanimous in declaring, that they never wrought in a pit so wholesome and pleasant; and that every means were provided, and most judiciously and actively employed to prevent its exploding.

Among the sufferers are the overmen, Mr. William Haswell, and Mr. Robert Morrow ; and their deputies, Mr. Martin Greener, and Mr. Robert Stoves. 10 of the bodies were got out on Friday, 6 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday, and 4 on Monday. They were all buried at Heworth (St Mary's Churchyard, Heworth) 8 widows, 15 children, and a helpless old woman, who depended on her son, have lost all their only means of support by this calamity; the interests of several others have been partially affected by the loss of sons ; but all of them have had great attention and humanity shewn them by the owners of the colliery. In the progress of procuring the bodies, no part of the mine appeared to have been set on fire: not a cinder or singed prop was seen in any part of it. On Tuesday the ventilation for the renewal of working, was commenced, and regularly carried on till yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, when the workmen were suddenly alarmed by finding the coal on fire in a part of the waste. From this circumstance it was immediately determined to close up the mouths of the shafts.
