ICHABOE.—Copies of documents from Captain Broke, of
H. M. steamer Thunderbolt have been forwareed to Lloyd's this
morning from the Admiralty. It relates to the report of the
Committee of Management for regulating the affairs at the
above island. be Committee was dissolved prior to February
19, owing to the speedy termination of the guano trace
of the island, the guano being all removed. Captain
Broke writes as follows to Admiral Percy : " I do not hear
that any other deposits of tile manure worthy of not,ce to
the northward; many vessels have returned here after
a fruitless search for such. Record Island in 20
deg. 6 min., being the only one I can hear of, and that
so small in dimensions as to render it impossible that there
can be more than two or three ships load on it. I purpose
leaving this as early as possible to proceed under steam t•
southward as far as 9.8 deg. S., to inspect the small islands
between that latitude and this (Ichaboe), where I hear a
few vessels are loading. There are now seventy vessels
here, many of which are on the point of leaving, and the re-
mainder waiting to complete their period of lay days."

FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Saturday last
four men, working in Mr. Strick's colliery, were seriously injured
by an explosion of inflammable air. One of them, William Thomas,
was most seriously hurt, and we regret to say he died yesterday
(Tuesday) morning, and the inquest on his body will be held this
day (Wednesday). We have heard that much blame is attributed
to the agent for not sufficiently ventilating the drift in which the
men were working, and we trust the Coroner will do his duty by
investigating the truth of this report—Swansea Paper.
