Lovo, Sept. 13, 1878, The tertible calamity that happened In Wales on Wednesday has protoundly amected London, and already subscriptions are collecting in the City for the relief of the families of the dead miners. Its tuli extent is now kuown by telegraph, und the death list reaches 263, showing exactly 100 lives saved out of the “shitt”” of men employed -1 the mine during the afternoon and evening. Tlurteen additional bodies were recovered at about two o’clock yesterday morning, and four of the last twelve men brought out alive died from their burns during the night. It nad been evident throughout the afternoon that:the fire in the mine Was gaining headway, and a careful inspection made by the volunteer party that brought the last dead men to tire surface revealed the fact that the fire had reached a point within a few feet of the bottom of the main shaft, and all hope of turther Tescues had to be abandoned, A.council of the miners and other employés of the company was held, and, after careful deliberation, with tears im their eyes, these strong hearted men voted that the pit must be Qooded. This was the end of hope; the wt matum of despair. It was a pitiiul scene,and one ‘that cannot be described in words. Whenithis de- cision was announced to the relatives ofthe 6 men still in the pit, who with anxious faces were awaiting the resultof the deliberations, the scene Was one of the most dreadiul imaginable. It seemed as if the entire female population o! the district had gathered about:the mouth of the pit, Bnd every pulsation of the great pumps was answered by a cry of auguish so long and deep that the hills of Abercarne rang again. THEIR LAST HOCKS OF LIVE. The colliery employs upward of a thousand bends, of whom 373, taking their: turn or “snift,’’ went down at elevem o’clock in the morning. Twenty-one of this number came up:at noon, up to which time nothing had occurred to create suspicion of danger. Af ten minutes past twelve P.M. a lond, rumbling’ noise was heard, quickly Jollowed by @ flash of Same from the pit’stmouth and a column of smoke,.dust and débris ascemding Ingh in the air. Three detonations were succes- sively heard on the suriace. The framework, and Castings of the pit were thrown to a height of 300 ieet above the mouth . of the shatt. The explesion damaged the winding gear, thus destroying the only means of communi- cation with the men inthe pit As soon as the gearing couki be repaired working parties were sent down the shaft, aad eighty-two men and boys, working within afew hundrea yardd of the shalt, were rescued. But ittbecame evident, as attempts Were made to advancewinto the workings, that little hope could be entertamed of any men surviving. About four hundred yards from the bottom of the shaft are the stavies, and here, as before stated, fourteen horses were jound, all dead. Beyond this point the explorers could not.o, on account of the impurity of the air and the prevalence of choke-damp. Volunteer explorers succeeded in bringing out twelve men, Wery much burned, and also seven dead bodies. SCENE OF THE DISASTER, As stated yesterday, thecolery Is therproperty of the Evbw Vale Steel, fron-and Coal Conipany, one of the largest iron and coalproprietors in South Wales. [tis situated a ew humdred yards trom the Abercarne Raliway station, mM the Western Vai- ley section of the Monmouthshire, Railway. The valley is one of the most charming in the dis- trict and lies within sightof the-Crumiin Viaduc so weil known to traveliers. The pit, which is 430 yards deep and one of the largest and best worked tn the district, was yleiding 1,090 tans oi steam coal daily. The machinery tor winding, pumping and ventilating was of the best kind, and the taiely lamps in the mine was rigidly e The cause of the expiosion cannust be even sur- mised. ENGLAND AND HER. POLICY. Aside irom the terrible disueter in Monmouth- shire, dwelt upon above, there is considerabie news comes in from the various cities of Great Brita. The Nova Scotia cotton mills, at Blackburn, which are among = the largest in Lancashire, were partially destroyed by fre yesterday. The damage is estimated at §80),000. Three hundred poor laborers will have jo draw upon their savings. These are rot sup- posed to be sufficient however, and much distress Js predicted. The Standard, in @ semi-ofcial par- Agraph, admits that the Portuggese authorities at Delagoa Bay, South Airica, have been sounded as to its cession to England, but the statement that It is ceded is at least premature, HAVI'Y MEXICO Mexico has been honored by an opera from the pen of the eminent author of “Alda.” Verdi has completed his new five act opera entitied “Monte- fuma,” which is to ve Orst produced in Milan, Whether the author has taken advantage of the abundant opportunities to iatroduce so much of the knowledge of the habits and cos. tumes Of this race of kings as the rapacity and cruelty of the Spaniards permitted to descend to this generation is not known. What scope might have been jound, for instance, ina bullet called “The Moon Dance of the Aztecs." The dresses of the Aztec maidens need not be made at Worth’s or anywhere else to speak of. Whether, in this respect, Signor Verdi's supposititious dancers have any advantage over the original is a grave question. By the way, the proper spelling of the late King’s naine is “sloctezuma.? A SPRIGHTLY Tat. A characteristic row occurred in Belfust on W. day nigvt, where Mr. O'Donnell (home ruler) ber of Partiament for Daogarvan, het an appoint. out to lecture on ihe subject of “Home Rule and Tenant Right.” Mr. Biggar (bome rac), member ot Pariiamont for Cavan, was to preside. When they NEW YORK HERALD, _FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1878.—TRIPLE SHEET. appeared upon the platform a scene of wild confusion ensued. The furniture was amashed ; there was fierce fighting in all parts of the ball, and even on the platform, resulting in many bro beads, Finally the audieuce all went out and Mr. Biggar de- livered bis address and Mr. O’Dounell bis lecture to the reporters, The cause of the rivt was the aispleas- ure of the home ruiers at Mr. O'Donnell supporting she government on the Eustern question. THAT BEAUFWUL BLUB BERLIN, It is a good time to say something about the work- ings of the Berlin Treaty. Tbe Standard’s Vienna de- Spatch says Count Schouvalof, who is now tn Vienna, is charged to sound the Austrian government in regard to identical steps for enforcing the Berlin Treaty. Tne question is often asked whether or uot Austria does not wish the diplomats had kept Bosnia or given it to somo enemy that might weaken her re- sources in subjecting i, Constantinople despaicbes say that the Porte bas received infermation that the Avsirians have abandeuod all intention of advancing us far as Novi-Bagar this year. But then the Porte receives so much bad information, The Vienna Fremdenbiatt states, however, that Gei 1 Phittp- poviteh will withdraw his headquarters te Brod, on the River Save, on tho 28th inst. Per advices bave voon received to \be same effect, Vari- ous reagops are assigned, such as facility of communication with other corps and with Vie Laimost forgot to say thatthe Porte has also been informed that England will probsbly not adhere to Germavy’s proposal that the signatories of the Treaty of Berlin shall take a common siep with a view of bringing the Porte to executo the stipulations of the treaty. Apropos, 46,000 Russian troops bave embarked for home.

A Constantinople despatcn says the Convection be- tween Austria und Turkey relative to the Austrian occupation of the Provinces bas not yet becn signed. The Grand V.zier, Saivet Pacha, is endeavoring tu secure the concjusion of tho Convention. Tho bakers of Constantinople discuntinued the sale of bread, be- cause of the bigh price of whoat una the deprecia- tlon of the currency. The Sultan, thereupon, remitted the grain tax, and he bas appointed a com- mission to devise means for retiring the paper currency. The commission will recommend the cou- version of the currency iuto a four per cent loan‘ secured en specific revenue to be set apart for inat purpose. ‘The direct coiloction of rovenue to be set upart for the withdrawal of the paper currency will bo entrusted to a syndicate of bankers, The talk about ‘iurkish reforms 1s beard ugain, Satvet Pacha has verbally inlermea Minister Layard that the Porte adheres to the scheme of retorms tor Asia Minor drawn up by him. Satvet Pacha at the same time pointed out the neces- ily of obtaining the means for executing the re- forms, andasked an advance of £6,000,000 on the surplus revenue of Cyprus. Minister Layard replied that this was impossibie, as it would require a vote of Paritament, Midhat Pacha bas been forgiven, but he must keep away from the capital, He will be por- mitted to reside with bis family in a provincial Turk- ish town. The Pesther Livyd eatimates the number of armed men in tho northeast of Bosnia at 40,000, with mty-two field guns, The Times Vienne cor- respondent says it is believed combined activn of the Austrian torees, capecially against Zwernik and Tuzla, will commence at the beginning of next week.

A despatch from Sydacy, Now South Wales, dated yesterday, says thas the French troops in New Caiedonia have completely defeated the iusurgent natives, who lost 130 killed und wounded, including three chiels ‘killed. In speuking of New Culicdoula it seems up- propriate to announce that seveuty-cight more com- tmuoista bave been pardoned or had their sentences gemmuted. IN THE SWI3B REPUBLIC.
