KANAUTII TAGORE.

The mortal remains of this highly esteemed and dis-
tinguished foreigner was on Wednesday consigned to a vault
at Kensal-green.
In accordance with the wish of the son of the deceased,
the funeral was conducted in a strictly private manner.
The cortege left the late residence of the Baboo (St.
George's Hotel, Albemarle-street), at half-past ten o'clock
yesterday morning.
The hearse was succeeded by Major Henderson's private
carriage, in which rode the son of the deceased, Nogendra-
nath Tagore, Mohun Lal, and Nobin Chundro Mookiyse, a
young Indian of distinction, related to the Baboo. A mourn-
ing coach followed, in which rode Sir Edward Ryan (the
appointed guardian to deceased's son), Major Henderson
(the deceased's partner), Dr. Raleigh, and Mr. D. J. Mac-
killon. A second mourning coach contained the Hon. Captain
R. Gore, Captain Henderson, Mr. C. Plowden, and Dr.
Goodeve. A third contained Mr. Mordaunt Ricketts, Mr.
Prinsep, General Ventura, and Mr. Roberts, all intimate
personal friends of the Baboo. The mourning coaches were
succeeded by the private carriage of Mohun Lal, which con-
veyed three native students. The courier and domestic
establishment in the service of the Baboo closed the pro-
cession, these latter riding in the deceased's private carriage.
On arriving at the cemetery the cavalcade fled off into
the unconsecrated portion of the ground, where, nearly
opposite the entrance gate, a large brick vault had been
prepared.
Every portion of the ceremony was conducted in solemn
silence, broken only by the peals of thunder and tempest of
rain which burst over the cemetery just at the period of its
performance. The cfficiating chaplain to the cemetery, the
Rev. Mr. Twigger, was in attendance in his private capacity,
but no religious service of any kind was performed over the
body.
As the mourners were about to retire they were requested
by Nogendranath Tagore to remain until the vault was
closed, a desire which they of course at occe complied with.
This occupied some time. At length a huge stone having
been placed over ther cavity the parties retired to their car-
riages and left the ground.
The son of the deceased was attired in an Indian costume
composed wholly of black cloth. Mohun Lal and the other
Indians present wore the ordinary brilliant costume of their
country.
The coffin containing the deceased's remains had a very
magnificent appearance. It was covered with puce silk
velvet, and studded with silver ornaments. On the lid were
two silver plates—the one bearing the style and titles of the
deceased Baboo in the Hindostanee language, and the second
a translation of the same in English, as follows :
" BABOO DWARKANAVTII NAGORE, ZUMINDAR, DIED
IST AUGUST, 1846, AGM M TEARS."
It is stated that the tine face and features of the deceased
were so little changed by death, that the parties called on
to perform the usual offices on similar mournfal occasions
were with some difficulty persuaded that the spirit had fled.
While in this state a cast of the Baboo's face was taken.
The heart was subsequently removed from the body for
transmission to India, there to be dealt with in accordance
with the tenets of the sect to which the Baboo belonged.

FIRST PERFORMANCE OF BALFE'S OPERA. " THE
BOHEMIAN GINE." 4T VlENNA.—Balfe's opera of The Bohe-
mian Girl was produced at Vienna, on the 24th of July; the
overture and six pieces of music, were rapturously encored;
and as the public of Vienna are not so much inclined to
encore as in England, this must be considered an extraor-
dinary success. Balfe may now be considered the most
oplar composer in Vienna, as, independently of his
success, his opera, The Castle of Aymon, is nightly per-
formed at two theatres.

THP: LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY. —Since the recent accident on the Eastern
Counties Railway, a set of signals have been put at all the
stations, con,isting of upright posts, from twenty to thirty
feet in height, having two arms, which on the passing of a
train are rai-ed. The a!ms are painted red, and at night a
red light is affixed to them. Near the ;itrattbrd station
the signal is placed on the opposite side of the line to the
old signal, so that it can be seen at a much greater
distance. With respect to the sufferers by the accident,
the majority are progressing' favourably, but we regret to
state that Mr. W. Cotton, the Chairman of tie Ilford
Board of Magistrates, is still unable to resume bis magis-
terial duties, in consequence of the injuries he received on
Vie 18th ult.
