G. W. Brakenridjre, Esq., has munificer.t!^ given £ "500 towards buildinga church at Clever. and a further sum of 1:: 00,) towards an endowment for the eame. Sir A Elton, Bart., has civrn the ground for the si-te of tbe church, and i'O to the building fund.—Bath Chronicle. ASTES 1\ COLLlEhjES.)n Thursday morn- ing, says the Preston Chronicle, t- o inen-, named Bolton and Haiiwell, were einploved in removing- the pillars in the Bugh colliery, when the roof fell in and buried Bolton under a weight of' at least twentj-five tons; he was quite dead w hen dug out. The coal wastes or exhausted mines were foriiiei-ly left in this condition -the roof was supported at necessary distances by masses of coal like rugged pillars, left in removing the g-eneral body, The spirit of economy induced the owners to dispense with the columns, allying the roof to fall, and close up the vkorkin-s-a inferable spirit, to which may be traced the masses of small unused coal left in the strata to generate "fire-damp and choke- amp, ottei1. carried from these wastes into the mines under operation. Depression of the surface, (iften cracking and destroying houses and other buildings, may also be traced to the removal of the supporting pillars, especially w hen the *eum of coal lies 11 near the day." [They manage these matters better in the coal levels of South U ales. The quan- tity of pit-wood used as prlipsis enormous, and far beyond the point of necessity for safety.
