THURSDAY AFTERNOON;

Yesterday aft reoon sir funerals were desryttchod from
the nception-shel at Lundhill, and a most mouthful sceuo
they presented. Four started at short intervals to Dar-
field church, pr.], which is situated at a distance of two

miles, consist jog of a number of the relatives and fl ionds
of the deceased, a. well as a largo number of spectators,
and the whole formed a scene that will not easily be forgot-
._

ten. The first hearse contained the remains of Jas. Hunt
and Wm. Smith, who were followed by their respective re-
latives, while the bodies of seven more of the unfortunate
victims followed in three seprete funerals. A large number
of persons assembled round the general grave at Derfield,
many of whom seemed much affected while the funeral
ceremony was being read by Messrs. Meggison and Med-
calf°. The-bodies of John Frost and Thomas Logan were
interred at Wath and West Melton.
Up to yesterday at 5 o'clock 42 bogies bad been re-
coverel, and sinee that time up to this afternoon seven
more have been brought out, making a total of 49, or about
one-fourth of the number killed.
Two who were brought out a little alcr 6 o'clock last
evening were found in the second board in the south level,
and identified as Joseph Smith, of Lundbill, aged 53, and
his son, John Smith, aged 19.
Between S and 9 o'clock the men employed in the relay
of which Mr.- Webster had the superintendence f rund three
mare bodies, but they were in such a state as to wholly
defy recognition. They were foun I in the second board-
gate on the south side, where the blast seemed to have been
of the most terrific character—more so, it was thought,
than in any other part of the pit. The brattice board and
sheeting were blown to atoms and scattered in every direc-
tion; and this in some way accounted for these bodies
being so ouch mutilated. They were, however, believed,
judging Loom the working places in which they were found,
and front their general appearance, to be these of George
Shepherd, of Lundliill, aged 29 ; James Wilkinson, of
Wigan, aged 22, and that of a hurrier. •
About midnight a body which was identified as that of
James Tatter, all, of West Melton, aged 19, was discovered
in the first boardgate on the south side; and this morning,
a little after 8 o'clock, another corpse, which proved to be
that of Samuel Parkinson, of Wombwell, aged 21, was
brought out. The latter was identified by means of a silver
snuff-box which was found in his pocket.
One of the bodies which has been interred without being
identified was yesterday found to he that of John Halliday,
of Lundhill, aged 29, it having been identified by the boots
which had been kept in the shed and about which there
were some particular marks.
The voluuteers, many of whom have relatives in the pit
are working with unflagging energy, although the work is
of a most hazardous nature, and the effluvium from the
numerous corpses entombed is offensive in the extreme.
Great credit is due to Sergeant Merrick and Police-con-
stable Latham, to whom are entrusted the unpleasant task
of showing the bodies, for the manner in which they nave
discharged the painful duty devolving upon them—a duty
not altogether free from danger considering the effluvium
arising from the bodies close to which they are constantly
stations:).
