On the morning of the 26th November. about 9 o'clock, a terrible explosion of tire damp oc curred in the Arley mine of the Hindleygreen collieries, about two and a half miles from Leigh and about fourteen from Manchester. The works belong to John Scowcroft & Co. (limited), and at the time , of the accident upwards of three hundred men were in the pit. The mine is about 320 yards deep, and Is worked with an up and down lhaft. The works are under the superintendence of Mr. Sonthworth, managing , director. Mr. Ellis Dreenan, the underground manager, was at the works at the time of the ex plosion, which occurred just after the men had breakfasted. In the immediate vicinity of the explosion itself the whole of the men and boys were killed or seriously injured. There was at once a rush for those uninjured to the pit-eyes, and forgo numbers were reseried, suffering .onl y. from fright, The injured, about twenty in nuat ber, were brought away andiat once attended to by Drs. Brayton and Ormerod. The task of , a re moving the bodies of the ki ll ed was necessarily very slow and painful one, as the workings took fire. By two,o'clock in the afternoon thirty eight bodies were brought to• the surface, and a large number, variously estimated at from forty to eighty, were missing. The origin of the ac cident is unknown, as the ventilation was said to be excellent. It is supposed that some workman mustltave removed the top from his lamp and that a sudden rush of gas caused the explosion. The atmosphere Has _ _ very heavy at the time. The bodies were in many cases fearfully disfig ured, rendering identification very difficult. It is remarkable that all the men brought out were yeung mon, the eldest not being apparently over-thirty years of age. A portion of the workings were onlfire,render log itdifficult to get at the whole' of the bodies. The number of those left in the pit this after noon was unknown. Fifty-seven persons, it is thought, were killed and ten others seriously burned by the explosion. At six o'clock in the afternoon the firemen made an inspection and re ported that all was safe. Both of the firemen were killed. -The workings extend east and west. On the east side 160 men worked and on the west' sixty or seventy. All on the east aide escaped; nearly all on the west were killed. Several escaped with barns. A few penetrated the choke damp and one was restored by artificial respiration; but fifty-six were suffo cated and one has died from his burns. The ex tremity of the workings was not reached until six hours after the explosion. Fifty-four bodies now lie in the workings near the pit. Mr. Big son, the government inspector, has been down the pit since noon. FRABUE. In Health of Napoleon The apprehensions entertained as to the health of the Emperor Napoleon seem to be well founded. "Not only," says a correspondent "did he not mount on horseback and follow the hounds at the grand hunt the other day at Compiegne, but contrary to his usual ftractice he accepted assistance while getting into and alighting from his carriage. At the shooting party one could see that he walked with great difficulty and seem ing lam en es s,,d raggin g his legs, which were epread rather wide apart, after him, as it were, and with his arms held out to steady his movemrnts. On the evening of the curee a chair was placed for him on the balcony of the chateau, on which he continued seated until the conclusion of the affair, although the Empress and Princess of Wales were both standing. At the performance at the theatre too, a night or two afterwards, he sat with his head bent forward on his chest the whole : time, seemingly perfectly inattentive to everything that was going on." Another Luxemburg Trouble. Luxemburg has become a "black spot" again. Very strange doings are reported from that but lately quieted spot. It appears that placards advocating French annexation abound anew throughout the country, are found affixed to all public buildings, and find their way into every house and hut. But mote significant and dan gerous is another symptom. It appears that, quite recently.the authorities have taken to sup plant the Ger Man schoolbooks by French ones. particularly in the classes of history and geo graphy. Nor have even such manuals been spared as were prepared by men living in Luxemburg Itself, and sanctioned and recommendeth by the educational board. Rusaitalt Cruelty in Poland. Russia perseveres with her Russiafication of Poland. The other day a smith, who had estab lished a new Gretna Green at Sofipol, marrying such couples as would not submit to the solemn ization of their union in Russian, was sent to Siberia, while the men he had married were en rolled into the army and the marriages were de-. Glared illegal. In like manner baptisms of children had to be enforced with armed authority since the peasants do not believe in the efficacy of the act when accompanied by Russian words. The Catholic inhabitants of the Grodno and Kovno districts are now escorted to church by the soldiery and the police; they refase to go of their own accord, objecting to the new language Introduced into the worship.

Craig was conveyed to the Pennsylvania Hospital. , She is in a critical conditibn, but the physicians have some hopes of her recovery. She states that for some , time past her'son Hugh has been acting in a strange manner. He is a coin poeiter by trade, and after his return from work in the evening he reads and studios until an early hour in :the morning. He has never behaved violently, but his actions lately have led to the supposition that his mind was affected by hia mode of living. Mrs. Craig went to bed at the usual hour last night, and was awakened this morning by the sudden and mar , derous attack "made upon her: She is about 65 years of ago. Fr heommuwo.—A male infant was found in an alley back of No. 1505 Perth street, last night.

Evening &Meth:o Wasirmarox, Dec. 9.—The Senate Military Committee will undoubtedly report in favor of Mr. Garfield's bill, transferring the Indian Bureau to the War Department. This measure has al ready been before the Senate, and been voted down several times, but its chances are consid ered better now. Fortieth Congress—Third Seemton. 18 EN ATE...--Conu.ueAttirouilThirit Edition.) Mr. Edmunds said that ho had objected to -the consideration of the bill on Monday, because he did not know then the facts upon which it was based, but he had since become entirely satisfied that Mr. Moses was daerving of the proposed clemency. and that the loyal peCtple of the coun try would be willing to extend it to him. and therefore he would make no objection to the passage of the bill. Mr.tßobertson said he desired the passage of the bill because it would only be doing justice to Mr. Moses, whose chief disability arose from his having been a State Senator before and during the war for twenty-five consecutive years. At the end of the war he had been elected a Judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, and in that position his decisions had given satisfaction to both parties. Mr, Davis ( - Ky.) moved to amend the bill so as to extend the same relief, to all other citizens of South Carolina laboring under political disa bility. The motion was lost;•all the members present 'voting in the negative except Messrs. Bayard, Davie, Dixon, Doolittle, Ferry, McCreery,Norton, Patterson (Tenn.) and Saulsbury. Mr. Davis remarked that the bill would be more acceptable to him if it was amended as lie had proposed, but that feven then he would vote against it,beeause he held that there was no 14th amendment to the Constitution, the proposition purporting to be such amendment not having been ratified by three-fourths of the States. The bill was then read a third time, and passed —yeas, 46; nays, 6. A message was received from the House of Representatives that they had passed the bill regulating the duties on imported copper and copper ores, and an net restoring the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the War Department. Laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the Senate teok a recess until one o'clock. On reassembling, the President's annual mes sage was received at the hands of his private Secretary, W. G. Moore, and was read at length by the Secretary of the Senate. The President's message was received at one o'clock. When about half had been read, Mr. Conners moved that the further reading be dis pensed-with, on the ground that it was offensive and untrue. Mr. Davis opposed the motion. Mr. Howe followed in its support. Mr. Whyte claimed that nil considerations of propriety demanded the reading. Mr. Wilson, while denouncing Mr. Johnson, thought the message should be read. Mr. Hendricks insisted that it was not only the President's right, but his duty, to state his objec lions to the Congressional policy. Mr. Cornices withdrew his motion; but Mr. Cameron renewed It. Mr. Morton-said: he was surprised at the mo tion, and declared that Its adoption would belit tle the Senate and indicate spitefulness. Mr. Drake suggested that as Congress had re ceived so many messages of a similar character, it might as well take one kick more. Mr. Howe argited that the President's duty was to communicate facts and not opinions, and the Senate was therefore not Pound to hear an argumentative and insulting message. Mr. Edmunds said the transaction of business would be facilitated by 'deferring the question until to-morrow, and moved an adjournment until to-morrow, which was earried,-yeas nays, 22. (lioure—continued from Third Edition.] Mr. Washburn° (ill.), from the Committee on Appropriations, made a statement to the House in reference to its business. Be said that the tlmates on which that committee would have to act would not reach the House until the close of this week or the beginning of next week not in season to allow the Committee to perfect and report any of the regular appropriation bills before the time when the Christmas recess is usual ly taken. There were ten regular applipriation bills to be considered by the Bons° ' The Legislative bill, the Army bill, - :the Navy bill, the Pension bill, the Post-office bill,, the :Military Academy bill, the Sundry Civil bill, the Indian bill, the De ficiency bill, and the Consular and Diplomatic bill. In case of a recess a majority of the members of . ' ' the Appropriation Committee would remain . In Washington and at tend- -to---business. Nothing would there fore be gained,by the Rouse continuing in st 11 sion, and was instructed to propose on 'Flair day-of-next week that on the following Monday, the 21st, Congress should adjourn till Tnesday,the bth of January. • • Several members—Make the motion now. Mr. Washburne—Gentlemen around me desire that the question shall be settled now. If that be the judgment of the House, I am willing to sub mit the concurrent resolution for a recess now. I do not, however, desire to do so until some other gentlemen shall have been heard on the 'part of the other Committees. " Mr. Schenck desirettto say something about the condition of• the busistess of the Committee of Ways and•Menne: Mr. Rigby called for the regular order of busi ness, and the subject was dropped for the pre sent. A bill for holding an election in Virginia on the 20th of July next was reported from the Com mittee on . Reconstruction, and gave rise to an animated discussion, particulfirly asto the time fixed,.

It May be reasonably expected that a etinal er able reduction of the Infantry of tee army may be maele_wltbin.the next year without detriment to the interests of the country. I 'recommend ; that such reduction be authorized by law to be made gradually by ordinary casualties, by dis charge of incompetent and unworthy , olaaqs, and by consolidation of regiments. I also re commend that tbefour regiments constituting the Veteran Reserve Corps be dlabanded,ollicers unfit for active Service to be retired, and ail others to be transferred toactive regiments.

During the past year the supplies for the army have been mainly purchased in the large inarkeU3 of the country, though the policy has been stead fastly adhered to of purchasing near to the points of consumption whenever and wherever the same could advantageously be done.

The appointment of assistant commissarlee of subsistence frota.lieutenante-of the line, with . - trlfiffig -- =lncrease of tray while — so acting, is again recommended. as Is also the appointment of post commissary sergeants.

While the '..ndian war continues I do not deem z any general 'legislation for the reduction of the army advisable. The troops on the plains are all neededvtroops are still needed in the. South ena States, and further reduction can be made in the *way already used and now in operation where it is safe, namely: 'by allowing companies to di minish by dischtirget,. 'without being strenzttr ened by recruits, and by stopping appointments of second lieutenants. If it Should be . deemed advisable, the veteran reserve regiments might be discontinued by ab sorption and retirement of ottleers and discharge of men without detriment to the servi-e. U. 8. GRANT, General. Gen. J. 31.8cuormtuy Secretary of War.• During the Ehoit time I have had charge of the War Department it has been my constant aim to Fyttematietilly reduce the expenses of the department; to improve the discipline and effi ciency of the army: to prosecute such experi ments in engiluee ring and ordnance, and to, corn. time such instruetion of - thti officers and men as are necessary to the perfection of our military establishment; to give all needful strength to the forces operating against hostile Indians; and to give the greatest practicable assistance to, the civil anthorilien in the Abates where recently or , ' ganizsd governments need military support. .The,diatipline of the army is believed to be better-than lawny previous time since the late war. The tficient action of courts-martial, with prouripVeXecutive confirmation; has, resulted •in oismissal from the service of a considerabl-i num ber of unworthy officeis arid exemplary punish ment ofothers. Provision' has also beet Mar under authority-of the acts of Congress approve Atignet 3, 1861, and,Jute 25, 186.1, for dropping fit iii tl.e rolls of the arms', upon the report of en es mining. board, such officers as may be found unfit for the service by reason of intemper ate or vicious habits. These measures, having the eartrest,stiliport of the great body of ,Offteors, have already produced beneficial results, and can not fail MAID to relieve the army of such officers as haw proved wholly'unworthy, and to refOrm such es have only temporarily yielded to tempta tion. From thorough' discipline and effieleocy among the officers the same essential qualities ameng the eulletedmen follow es a matter of course. , I refer to the report of Lieutenant General Sher man for an instructive statement ot „teas and valuable suggestions in respect to Indian affairs. I believe it manifest that an important vitalize Elionld be made in our mode of dealing with the Indians. While good faith; - and sound ; policy alike require us to f3trietlk observe existing trea ties so long as . the' Indians" Maintain" like good faith, when any tribe has violated its treaty it sh( uld to longer be regarded as a nation with which to treat, but as a when uncivili4ed peOple ; to be ctike4',.thr,fect;ivhett , , necessary, and. governed. It is martin et that any branch of the public service cannot be efficiently and economically manned ba two,departments of the government.
