SUNDAY BAND IN TEL PARK& —These bands
commenced their sixth season on Sunday last in the Regent's-
perk, aid played from 5 till half•past 7 o'clock, and in the
Victoria-park from half-psst S till 8. Both parks fortu-
nately escaped rain until the performances concluded. Con-
olden'' the uncertainty of the weather, the audiences were
large, and the purchasers of programmes fully as numerous
as on any previous occasion : 4,200 being sold in the
Regent's-part alone. This is the fist season the opponents
to Sunday bands have not waited in deputation on her
Majesty's Chief Commissioner, to endeavour to suppress

Fast, COLLIIRY ACCRDIMIT.—On Saturday an
accident occurred at Cowell Colliery, in the county of
Durham, resulting in the death of the overman, Thomas
and a awn named Ellison. The former was only
30, and the latter about 52 years of age. For several years
Ellison hut been employed as overman at Ox Close pit, and
both have left wine fetid children. The unfortunate men
were last seen alive about half.peat four o'clock on the
morning of the fatal occurrence, having at that time gone
down to inspect the waste or air.couree. In a aimilar
quarter of the pit were other two men, and those not coming
to haak till nearly four hours after their time, the question
was @eked, " all right with you?' The sad tidings were
them announced, and between twelve and one o'clock the
dammed men were treaght to the heap. It is supposed
that a fall or a change had taken place in the air, and that
the poor fellow!' had been choked by the after-damp, but
this will, no doubt, be cleared up at the inquest to-day. It
is somewhat slaguler that eleven years ago, on the sth of
the Prompt month, Gemaigne lad a brother killed in the
same colliery, of which Mr. Cozoa is viewer.—Newcaatte
