The Bulli Disaster.

The report of the Royal Commission ap rointed to inquire into the causes of the km colliery disaster was laid on the table of the Legislative Assembly on the 12th instant. The Commission find that Ik accident was caused by an explosion of at carburetted hydrogen pas that had at the face of No. 2 headings ontbeHlU Enddisti-icb; that the immediate orocitin* cause of the explosion was in all crobability the flanie from an overcharged hot that had apparently been fired by a m named Westwod, or his mate, T on tio top of the roll in the face of iSio. 2 leading; that the explosion was intensified by the°presence in the atmosphere of coal (4t in a minute state of division ; and tkt the cause of the disaster was, to all appearance, due to the carelessness, want ofjkill.and the loose and perfunctory manner jj which many of the operations in the nine were performed. A number of re crtmendations have been made, suggesting inoDgst other things fresh regulations for fa management of coal mines. The Go rcnment has not yet taken any action with tmrd to this report; bub as soon as it is muted and in the hands of the Minister of Sines, he will forward it to the Crown kd offices, with a view to action being lien. ,

It was *B to follow the doctrines of the old fwH, but the doctrines preached by Cob oea'abd Bright were preached in the belief that the example of England in adopting 3* fcute would be followed in ten years by the whole civilised world.
