On reaching the entrant* to the Salisburrroed, the
band, with muffled drama, commenced the " Deed
March in Said," which was most solemnly and
bastitifully rendered. Ths whole of the road from
Albert-street to the cemetery was lined with people,

occurred, to add to the number taken in, it wog very
ably conducted, and was rather different from the

of the School of Art he thanked the committee of

in the room of Mr. W. T. Whetham, who ban l re-
signed, and that Messrs. Montagu and 11. N. C.,:

that in losing Messrs. Spooner and Watewright
they had lost two good members of the committee.
Mr. Stara proposed that Messrs Reynolds and

Mr. EDMUNDS amended the motion.
The Rev. R. L C•IIPENTER supported the motion
that the Telegram be taken in, and said he had sug-
gested that it should be taken last year when it had
only recently been started, and now that soothe'
year had elapsed he thought it desirable to take it in,
Mr. HOC/NULL also thought that the Telegram
should be taken in. He considered that where there
' were two papers published in • town, it was desi-
rable that in an institution like that both papers
should be taken in. Competition was good for the
public. He might mention that he had a copy of

directors broke up on Thursday without any alteration
being made in the rate of discount. A reduction to 4
per amt, was anticipated in many quarters owing to the
moderate applications for discount at the amok during
the week, and to the fact that LI( 1,(30 in gold had
lean aent in sines last return. It is conjectured that
the prospective soave demand for silver for the East,
as well as gold for France, prevented any alteration
being made.

have transpired respecting Mr. Welch, the Leeds
Bankruptcy Registrar, whose name, it will be re-
membered, occurred freely in connection with the

to five persons, occurred on Thursday near Bristol. While
tbe steamer Black Rade was towing • Norweigian
schooner to sea, her boiler exploded, jest as she was
passing Vincent's-parade, • row of houses fronting the
river. The whole of the crew, and all who happened to
be on ward the steamer, were instantly killed or
drowned. Such was the force of the es plo.ion that
large portions of the boiler were blown over the house-
tops, and one puce, weighing goose three or four tons,
stuck one or two chimneys in its flight. and then
lodged in • garden in the rear of the street. Fortunately
none of the occupant" of the houses were hurt, though
many had narrow escapes from the missiles projected

from the North of England, the scene of the catas-

Chester-le-Street. The men went down to work as
usual on Wednesday morning, end they had not been
long engaged before • terrific report was heard on the
south side of the colliery, where 28 men were employed.
assistance being immediately rendered, it wan ascer-
tained that the whole of this number, with the
exception of four, had been killed. The cause of the
calamity at present remains a mystery, for, supposing
that it was fire damp, there was nothing to cause en
explosion, as none but looked safety-lamps were used
from the bottom of the downcast shsft. It seems pro-
bable, however, that it might have been produced by
the blasting.

KION•TTRD POLTNIMIANS.—Tbe committee of this
society recently memorialised Lord Stanley on behalf of
numerous natives of Polynesia, who are still held as
slaves in the guano islands of Peru—where, ea the
committee state, the labour is "at once deadly,
loath' .me, and unintermittent." The •zpoeures of the
Polynesian slave trade which were made three years
ago induced the Governmetta of Ragland and France
to remonstrate with the Peruvian authorities, and the
latter promised not only to abandon the traffic, but to
send back the motives to their own country. This,
however, it appears, has only been partially done, nine
hundred persoos who weirs known to the London
Missionary Society's yenta being still miming. The
Aborigines Protection Society requested Lord Stanley
to addrees such friendly remonstrance* to the Peruvian
Government a. would induce it to carry out in go.,A

✓oiety that her Majesty'. Agthig Charge d'Affaires in
Peru will be instructed to report as to the existing state
of things in that country with regard to the condition
of the labourers imported from the Polynesian islands.
