Prof. A. NJ. Burbank, who has been identi-
fed with the musical interests of Sprincfe d
| for many years, and whose long connection
with the public schools has made his coun-
| tenance one OF the most familiar ones in
Springfield, has removed permanently to At
ltnta, Ga His place as superintendent of
music in tie public schools in this city, which
he has resigned, will be filed by Prof Stsnich.
OF Middletown, who WAS recently elected by
the board of education. Prof. Burbank
has secured position in the choir Of
one of the leading churches in At
lanta at a salary of $500 a year.
He has also secured very large
vocal class and will probably organize a
vocal society in Atlanta He writes that At
lants is splendid city of 10000 inhabitants,
and that there is the greatest interest in music
there, and only one vocal teacher besides
himself. Prot. Burbank leaves this city with
the kindest regards of an immense circle of
constituents and friends. His departure
leaves the Springfield vocal society without
head, and as the society will soon resume its
work for the fall and winter seasons there ia
much speculation as to what will be done for
director. Practice On the orstorio of
Elijah which the society has been prsctct-
| ing for some months, will be resumed. The
first business which will come before the So
| ciety will be the choice OF director. Several
gentlemen are named in connection with the
position. Prot. Blum Euscheiu, of DAYTON,
Arthur Mees, of Cincinnati, and Prof Eek
hart, OF Columbus, among Others. In view
OF the expense which the choice OF a nom
resident director would entail, it is very
probable that Mr.. Newt Sewer, organist of
the First Presbyterian church, will be elected
to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Sewer conducted
Aendelssohns Hymn OF Praise at concert
of the vocal society last winter and has ably
officiated as director on other occasions. The
members of The vocal society have not yet de-
Cded on giving fall concert

THE LONDON POLICE PREPARED TO RREAK

as one of the six men who arrived in New
York in the steamship st. Laurent from Havre
on the 18th of March, 1854, that he saw
Burton in the Wurtemberg house, hotel in
Greenwich street, New York city during two
days after the arrival of the ST. Laurent. Weeks
arrived in London, and identified Burton on
the 21st OF April.
NEW YORK, May 1.-Nothing was known at
No. 66 Exchange Place twhere the officers of

Weeks. At the Wurtemberg house neither
Burton nor Weeks could be traced, at least

the fact that the steamship st. Laurent arrived
