a axplosion resulting tn iiijuries.to three or four men has occurred at the Eight Locks Colliery, Greets-g,-ef-n, West Bromwicb. About 16 men formingthe night shift were at work with naked andies when an explosion occurred, and on, of the men named Davis, who was engaged midway between the shaft and the pltc3 where the explo- sion occurred, was enveloped by the flames and leverely t.arnt. It is expected that he will re- cover. Two other men who were burnt at the place where the explosion occurred were removed to their homes at Tipton. The Timet understands that, in consequence of the turn recent events have taken in Tunis, the Porte has decided to deapatch a letter to the Bey requiring him to explain the sudden chansre in his demeanour towards the Sultan, and the apparent leaning of his Prime Minister towards French interests. The Bey will also be invited to state whether he still considers himself a vassal of the Ottoman Empir,, and whether he is prepared to abide by the provldions of the Finnan of 1871. If his answer is unsatisfactory Muhamed Sadik will be solemnly deposed, and the Hussanite family be deprived of the Vilayet of Tunis. In the Queen's Btnch Division a Mrs. Redford, who had been a public singer and a teacher of mu,ic and singing, has recovered £ 1,113 6e. 8d. from the London Tramways Company and their contractors as compensation for injuries. The company's line was under repair, and one of their vehicles got off the line, and a wheel getting into a hole that had been dug alongside, the car was thrown partly over. Mrs. Red. fold Was much hurt, the immediate consequences were unconsciousness, hinting*, and convulsions, and the was now badly paralysed on the left side, while on the right side sight, smell, and hearing were much mffected. A very singular defence was set up at Birming- ham in a case in which Henry French, a labourer, was summoned to shew cause why he should not contribute to the maintenance of a boy named Frederick Tiinms, an inmate of the Shustoke Industrial School. The boy was a son of Edward rimms, a chimney sweep,aud it appeared that Timms and French exchanged wives. French took Timms's wife, and Timms took French's wife. This was Timms's child, and French argued that he was not responsible for its maintenance at alL The summons was withdrawn, the poUce intimating their intention to proceed against Tim r s. # A correspondent reports an amusing incident which occurred at the inspection of the ftxmouth District Coastguards by the Duke of Edinburgh. The Duchess and Lady Seymour arrived somewhat before the Duke, and having alighted, were advancing to the inclosure, when a sentry inteiposed, assuring them that they must not pass, but pointing out a spot where he said they could get a good view of the Duke." The Duchess laughingly explained that that was not what they wanted, they wished to see the onastguardsmen but before the sentry could recover from his ast- -nish- ment at s«uch misplaced curiosity an officer ar lived and paised the ladie- through the barrier. A large and influential meeting of the pottery manu. facturers of the taff()l'fi.hÏrft Potteries has been held at Hanley, in reference to the proposed French tariff on pottery, which, it was stated, would add from 20 to 50 per cent, to the duty paid on English goods, while the conditions of sea transit will cause an ice ease of 50 per cent, in duty over that paid on German goods. It was decided to send a deputa- tion to the treaty commi.-sion to point out the objectionable features of the new treaty, and a memorial from the manufacturers and workpeople of the district. It was alao resolved that no treaty at all would be preferable to the one proposed. In emptying a mail bag at Gloucester post-office a letter-sorter turned out a anake about threefedt long, which had evidently escaped from one of the parcels. As it* destination could not be ascertained, It was destroyed. Speaking at the annual demonstration of the Cleve- land miners at Saltburn-by-tbe-Sea, Mr.Thomas Buit, M P., said he sympathised entirely with the struggle being made by Mr. Bradlaugh for his tight to a leat, and that he was unjustly and illegally exclud d from the House of Commcns. His being shut out was an unprecedented movement, aa coming from the Conservatives. The contest waa actually between the Connervativea of the country and the rtacht of free election in England. If the people were true to their right-a, very so, n the HoufC woulu rescind the resolution excluding Mr. Bradlaugh, as they did In the caae of Wilkes a hundred years ago.

If that girl recovers damages corresponding in size to her ear, which was "scattered alonf the track for half-a-mile," the railroad oompany will have to ap- point a receiver. At 7 o'clock in the morning two duellists, who are to fight to the death at a place in the suburbs, meet at the ticket-office of the railroad station; "Gimme a return ticket as usual," says the firat duellist to the clerk, in a terrible tone and with a ferocious twist of his moustache. "I-I say, do you always buy return tickets?" Btammers his opponent. "Always." "Then I apologise." A gentleman in New York met a rather "uncer- tain" acquaintance the other day, when the latter said.

The average of. human life is 33 years. One quarter die before the age of 7, one half before the age of 17. To every 1.000 persons, 1 only reaches 100 years. To every 100, only 6 reach 75 years and not more than 1 in 500 will reach 80 years. There are on the earth will reach 80 years. There are on the earth 1,000,000,000 of inhabitants. Of these 33,333,333 die every year; 91,824 die every day; 7,780 every hour; and 60 per minute, or 1 every second. These losses are about balanced by an equal number of births. The married are longer lived than the single; and, above all, thoae who observe a sober and in- dustrious conduct. Tall men live longer than short ones. Women have more ohances of life previous to the age of 50 years than men, but fewer after. The nnmber of marriages are in the proportion of 76 to 100. Marriages are more frequent after the equinoxes —that is, during the months of June and December. Those born in spring are generally more robust than others. Births and deaths are more frequent by night than by day. Number of men capable of bear- ing arms is one-fourth of the population. Actors have hard times as well as other folks, and the exDerience of the talented Mr. Masher proves it. It appears he wal playtng in a piece which required him, at a very thrilling point, to pull a handkerchief from the hip pocket of another actor, and present it to the heroine with some very. glowing words. The other actor, Mr. Snigg, was somewhat addicted to the use of liquor, and while dressing for the performance he got too full and went to sleep. some of the other actors removed the handkerchief from his pocket and, cutting a hole in his pocket, drew a comer of Mr. Snigg's shirt into it. It was a peculiarity of Mr. MMher that when he acted he got so dead in earnest that nothing could stop him, and when it came to the handkerchief scene, and he rushed up to the only half-awake Snigg, he grabbed for the handkerchief and found it didn't come, but he failed to notice the situation. The piece couldn't go on till he produced the handkerchief, so he gave another desperate tug. The only result was that a wild look came into Snigg's eye, and he tried to whisper to Masher that there was something wrong. But Masher didn t understand. The people were waiting for him; it was an awkward pause. Masher was a man of great strength, and he gave a last desperate tug at what he believed was the handkerchief. It came, but with a sound of tearing, and 8niggwas yanked right off his feet, and his eyea nearly burst from their sockets from the pressure on his throat before the neckband broke. Mallher got most of the garment except the sleeves, and the sudden disappearance of Snigg s shirt bosom created much excitement in the audience. Even then Masher didn't notice what he had done, and rushing forward tendered the garment to the heroine. But she screamed and fainted, and the a dience began to yell, and Snigg, having recovered hii breath, became terribly mad, and made a rush at Masher with a property sword, and chased him about, and the atagemanagen who was nearly wild, jumped In and declared that Masher had disgraced his h»use, and then the curtain Went down, and a little while after the manager came in front of it with a b ack eye and dismissed tbe audience.

WAR PREPARATIONS GHP THE NATIVES. THE BOERS AND THE QUEEN. The £ 66ial correspondent ofjthe Stan'itard in South Africa tolegraphs from Newcastle The committee of the loyal inhabitants of the Trans- vaal continue to lay before the Commission am- davit. detailing oppreaetve and illegal acta committed Kthe BoerS f since the concluaion of peace. One igliah,farmer ha* received notice that all his pro- perty has been confiscated, and will be seized itt the I termination of the six months of British rule. Upon the other hand, the Boer leaders complain of the action of the Engliah in the Transvaal, and assert that the same system of lying and misrepresentation which brought about the nnjust annexation of the country i« nowbeing directed to bring about further bloodshed. These accusation* are, however, general,and I am iiot aware that any of the affidavits laid before the Com. mission have been contradicted in any way. It is daily becoming clearer that peace, unless founded upon the reatoration of the Imperial au- thority, will be an infinitely greater blunder, and a more cruel injustice to the entire country of South Africa, than was the original annexation. Without meaus to enforce their decisions the present work of the Commission is practically useless. t Complaint* having been laid before them of inti- midation daed by the Boers to prevent witnesses com- Ing down to give evidence, the Commission has issued a proclamation promising protection to all desirous of giving evidence before it. Regarding the murder of Captain Elliott and others, it has been decided that the Attorney-General for the Transvaal shall lodge charges before the courts et Pretoria. The usual course of the law is that if sufficient proof be adduced in support of charges brought before it, the court orders warrants to be issued for the arreet of the culprits. The Boer leaders promise their co-operation to bring these men to trial; but they have practically no more power than have the Commission, no authority whatever being recog- nised by the great man of the population. Mr. Barter's murder occurred in the Orange Free State, and President Brand is taking measures to have a full inquiry made into the circumstances. From Heidelburgwe learii that the movement of resistance to the reimposition of Boer rule is making rapid way among the natives throughout the Transvaal. All natives in Boer employment have received orders from their chiefs to return at once to their kraala. Those in English employment have been warned to hold themselves in readiness to join their tribes when the war commeneee. This news is no mere rumour, but comes from the British officer com- manding at ileidelbursr. Instructions have been sent to him to verify the reports as far as possible. We have now definite news as to the Potchef- atroom cannon, Major Clarke writing to the effect that they passed through that place on the 21st in- stant, on their way to Standorton. „ „ On the 28th the column under General Buller will march for Potchefstroom. It will consist of four officer* and 150 men of the 94th Regiment, two aquadrona, each 80 atrong, of the Inniskillings, and a squadron of the 15th Hussars.

SATURDAY, MAY 28. FEARS FOR THE ZULU SETTLEMENT. Telegraphing from Newcastle on Friday, the Standard's special correapondent in Nstal says: Definite information has been received that many of the Boer* from the Utrecht district have trekked with their herds into Zululand for the winter grazing. This is not unlikely to cause fresh complications, as it was similar conduct on the part of the Boers which first caused the Zulus to assume a warlike attitude. John Dunn has arrived, and is at present having an interview with the commissioners. In a later despatch the correspondent adds:- I have just had an interview with John Dunn, and have heard the important matters which he has laid before the Commission. He haa represented, on behalf of the Zulus, that if independence is restored to the Boers, the British are bound either to afford protection to the Zulus, or to return to them the arms taken from them by Sir Garnet Wolseley. m Dunn ia aartain that if the British leave the Trans- vaal the Boers will recommence their aggression upon the unarmed Zulus, looting their cattle, and .a.L_ £'6. T- taking up locations arbitrarily in meir iBrnwj. j. that case his position and that of the other chiefs appointed by us would be very dangerous. He is of opinion, however, that a separating strip of territory under British rule might meet the case. The Boers have spread reports through Zululand that they have utterly defeated and eaten up the Bri. tish, and the Zulus believe that as a first condition of peace Oetewayo will be restored to his throne. There i* great excitement in Zululand, and all faith m Imperial promises and prestige is at an end. After the reversal of so many and repeated de- clarations that the annexation of the Transvaal was irrevocable, Dunn himself and the other chiefs now fear that the present Government will also upset the Zulu settlement, notwithatanding Sir Garnet Wolse- ley's solemn assurances that it was definite and final. Among the Zulus, as among other natives, all faith in British guarantee* is now lost. In a letter from Mont*uivs to General Wood, he that he has been obliged to take up arms owing to the Boers instigating his enemies to attack him because he was faithful to the English during the war. He wants to know what measures the Commission intend to take for his protection.. Definite information has been received that the Pot- chefstroom cannon have been hidden for several weeln near Lichtenburg. As it is now certain that they- will be delivered at Standerton in a day or two, the com- missioners have decided to go up the country. General Wood leave* on Monday, Sir Hercules Robinson on Tueaday. John Dunn return* to Zulu- land to-morrow.

MONDAY, MAY 30. THE POTCHEFSTROOM GUNS. COMPENSATION CLAIMS. The Standard's special correspondent in Natal telegraphed from Fort Amiel on Saturday the announcement that the guns taken at Potchef- stroom had arrived at Heidelburg, and on the evening of the following day he despatched from Newcastle the following telegram:— l The departure of Sir Evelyn Wood and his staff has been postponed by orders from England, pending the decision of tha Cabinet with reference to the com- plaint about the Boers grazing in Zululand. Mr. Kruger, in consequence of a conversation with General Wood, has written to the Boers, saying that under present circumstances they had better return home. General Wood intended to send the order himself; but in consequence of the repreaentations made to him by the Boers he allowed Mr. Kruger to arrange the matter. The Boer leaders inform me that they see no harm in the Boers grazing in Zululand during the winter months, which has been customary for 40 years. I believe that the present complaints are inati- gated by interested parties. From its Durban representative the same paper has the following, dated Saturday The Matibe chief before the Commission yesterday stated that he would not submit to Boer rule, and he asked why he had been deserted by England. No chiefs, he s&id, would robuit to Boer rule. The Commission explained that there would be a Resi- dent, but they objected to the interpreter using the word "protector." Matibe reiterated that he and all the chiefs would fight the Boers. Bir Evelyn Wood replied that the Commission were convinced the natives wanted British rule, and there waa no necessity for further evidence upon this point. Matibe returned home much dissatisfied. Large numbers of affidavits have been put in by tha Pretoria Committee, shewing that terror prevail* universally as a consequence of the unlawful acts ot the Boers. A deputation of loyalists has addressed an eloquent statement to the Commission in support of their claims for companaation. These are for goods and cattle taken for war purposes also for similar things plundered by the Boers for property destroyed and rendered useless; compensation for im- prisonment and indirect claims, principally for de- preciation of property, as a result of the retrocession of the country, xhey submit that the peace was made either because the Boera were the conquerors and the Government was afraid to carry on the war, or that in a spirit of magnanimity the Government gave the country back to the Boers. In the latter case they are also bound to -see that the chief sufferers from the war undergo no loss, seeing that they were induced to remain by the repeated declarations of Sir Bartle Frere, Sir Garnet Wolaeley, Mr. Gladstone, I and Lord Kimberley; that they continued faithful, and are now deprived without their consent of the status of British subjects. During four years they paid taxes for Briti*h protection^ which is now withdrawn. They say they are willing to sacrifice every penny, provided British rule is still maintained John Dunn ha* been unable to obtain a guarantee i -ib&Mwo isLno intention to reatore Cetewayo.
