Dr. JELF, the principal, in moving a vote of thanks to
the chairman, complimented him for having, after serv-
ing his country for so many years as an officer of the
navy, devoted his time and attention in the afternoon of
his days . to the furthcranca of works of education,
charity, and religion., Adverting to the comparatively
recent division of the school into distinct departments
for classics and modern instruction, he pronounced it to
have been most successful, mad appealed to the recite-
lions which had been given as proofs of the progress of
the pupils under it, both in ancient and modern lan-
guages. He added that at no time had the college been
more efficient, that efficiency being due mainly to Dr.
Mt.jor, the head master, and his able assistants, but much
also to the good feeling, respectful conduct, attention,
and industry of the pupils themselves.
Dr. MAJOR seconded the vote, which was carried by
acclamation; and, after a brief acknowledgment from
Lord Radstock, the proceedings terminated.

Every provision is wade for economy of space and fuel;
ihe very framework of her engine contains the wattr,
which cost nothing, and is tax free. If any vessel can
compere with the railways she can; and if she does so, what
sailing vessel can compete with her? Another vessel by
the same builders, the Countess of Strathmore, is already
planned, i 0 feet longer, and of improved construction.

and other machinery. Our shipowners must not be dis-
couraged. The Government are fitting all the great line-
of-battle-ships with auxiliary engines. The shipowners
must do the tame, and take their share in deciding the
question of the sail, the screw, and the paddle.—/Veze-

FATAL COAL-PTT E±PLOSIVIV.
An inquest was held on Tuesday and Wednesday at
the Miners'-arms, Bighare, near Barugh, in the West
Biding of York, before Mr. T. Taylor, on view of the
body of John Foulding, who was burnt so severely by
an explosion of fire-damp in the Old Silkstone Main
Pit at Higham•commen as to result in his death,
which took place on Saturday last. It appeared
that deceased, along with William Houldsworth and
Benjamin Preston, was engaged in working the main
level in the pit. Preston had bad a naked candle
stuck all day in a slit between the two board-gates.
Deceased used a safety-lamp, Suddenly an explosion
took place, and on Houldsworth taming round he ob-
served a blaze come to the end of the level he was
working at. He waited until the sulphur had gone
out, and then ran to the back of the board-gate
in the main road, where he found the deceased
standing up. Deceased then said to Houldsworth,
"I'm done, Bill;" his cap or head was at that time on
fire, and Houldsworth had to put out the fumes with his
hands. Hastily catching him up, and putting him in a
corf, Houldsworth was about to run Foulding to the
shaft bottom, when he heard Preston also calling out for'
help. To release him from the coal round bum was
Houldsworth's next duty, and this being done, and
Preston deposited also in the corf, they were both
taken to the pit hill, and from thence conveyed home.
Preston, it is thought, may recover; but Foulding
was so severely burnt, that ha only survived until
Saturday, when death released him from his
sufferings. Sulphur must have accumulated between
the boardgate face and Preston's candle, for it was
here where the explosion took place. One of the
standing orders of the bottom steward was, that no men
should work except with lamps in the straight work, and
if he found auy persons working without tops to their
lamps, he ordered them out of the pit for the day. The
jury deliberated for nearly two hours, and then returned
a verdict of "Accidentally burnt ;" but they requested
the Coroner to reprimand the bottom steward, which
was accordingly done.
