Some gentlemen have formed themselves into a special committee for rescuing , if possible , a library-which has not merely a readingroom "on the spot , but which lends out books to its subscribers , * -who are members of the working class , and who , though frequently availing themselves of the privilege , have never ouce abused it . "We trust that the efforts of
these gentlemen will succeed . EMBEZZiaEMEHT BT A . COKPOKAmOlT OFFICIAL . At a recent meeting of the Liverpool town-council , it was reported that defalcations had been discovered in the accounts of Mr . Beggs , collector of dock-rates , to the amount of 140 ? .

Wesx Haetuepooii agakt . — Another disgraceful scene has occurred at the notorious "West Hartlepool Church . A funeral was to take place in the grounds of the cemetery on Sunday last , and , as incumbent of West Hartlepool and chaplain of the cemetery , Mr . Burges of course " considered it his duty to officiate . He went to the cemetery , therefore , for the -purpose of exercising his proper ministerial office , when , just before reaching the place of burial , he saw Mr . Jackson and his son , Mr . WV Jackson , iastening to the spot . By these persons he was fastened into the keeper ' s lodge , and , when he endeavoured to force his way out , was dashed back . He was detained in the lodge about twenty minutes , when the people , bocoming excited ,
appeared determined to take out the window . They expressed themselves very indignant at his detention . He deaired that they would not take out the window ; and Mj . Jackson , fearing that probably some disturbance would arise , told Mr . Burges that , if he would take off his surplice , he would let him . out . Mr . Burges replied , that Mr . Jackson had no right whatever to detain him , and that he would not take off the surplice , as lie had put it on for the performance of the usual service of the Church . Shortly afterwards , the Rev . Mr . Ridley , "Vicar , of Stantoii , came up , and then Mr . Jackson , handing him a surplice out of the lodge , desired him to put it on and do duty . Mr . Burges again attempted to get out , but
was again pushed lack . At length , rather than continue so disgraceful a scene , Mr . Burges told Mr . Bidley he would give way , and that he might bury the child ; only he did not resign his right to do the dnty , and should protest in presence of the people . Ho was then let out of the lodge , . and when outside the door protested . Sir . Ridley and Mr . Jackson entered the cemetery , and Mr . Ridley got into the reading-desk , Mr . Jackson standing near Him . The father of the deceased child thereupon took up tuo coffin , and loft the church with it , greatly excited , and declared that a knifo should be put through his heart before ho allowed Mr . Ridley to do duty over his child . Mr . Burges having
taken off his surplice , was about turning away from the cemetery whonMr . Jackson called out to him to return , and Mr . Ridley said , " Mr . Burges , X will ' give you leave tojroad the service . " Mr . Burges said ho would not do s " Mr . Eidloy's permission ; if lie undertook the duty , he would do it as his own . Mr . Ridley then hurried him into'tho room , and told him to take the surplice ho ( Mr . Eidley ) then had , and also the book . Tho sexton of the church interfered , and brought Mr . Burges his own surplice ,-in-whicb . the rcy . gentleman wont to tho grave and buried the child . Mr . Jackson and Mr . Ridley turned away from tho cemetery , tho people hooting thorn a considerable distance .

THE BRITISH BANK . The excitement created by the closing of this bank continues . Crowds block up the approaches to the establishment , and it has been found necessary to place policemen on the spot , to keep a path clear for passengers . A large number of depositors and shareholders ( says the Times ) , who had met at the bank -without concert , endeavoured , with the aid « f the directors , to ascertain their real position , and it was agreed among some of the principal depositors thai they would themselves consent to wait six months , and would recommend their fellow claimants to do the same if any secivrity could be given that the shareholders
-would supply sufficient funds to reopen the establishment and to insure payment at the end of that period . Mr . Coleman , the accountant , has been called in , and a statement of affairs is immediately to be prepared , which will be submitted to a general meeting on the 20 th inst . It appears that the amount sunk in the Cefn iron and coal works , in Glamorganshire , exceeds 100 , 000 ? . ( the original loss having been 26 , 000 ? . ); that advances have been made to former directors and to the late manager which will probably involve deficiencies of more than 50 , 000 ? . ; and that bills of Mr . Edward Oliver , of Liverpool , and bonds of the "Westminster Improvement Commission , are still among the assets .

THE FALL OF A HOUSE . —INQUEST ON THE BODIES . An inquest on the bodies of the four persons killed by tho falling of a house in Little Swan-alley iras held yesterday ( Friday ) . The facts given in evidence were mainly the same as those which appear in another part of our , this day ' s , impression ; but some shocking particuH lars in tho testimony of James Frederick King must be added . He said : — " The first complaint ho had made since Mr . Crane had been the landlord was about a week before tho house fell . Tho -windows had frames , but most of the glass was gone . Crane said that if they wanted the glass put in they must do it themselves , as they took the rooms with tho glass out . Witness had a
largo family , and could not afford to put tho glass in , so that he was obliged to patch them up . When he took tho room the glass was out . The floor -was thoroughly oaten away ; tho worms crawled in and cut ; and last week ho fell in three times . Ho pointed that out to Crane , who said , ' Well , you must make the best of it . ' He did not hear any * cracking noise until just prior to the house falling down , and ho then thought it was a violent shower of hail . Crane came for the rent < oightcenpenco ) last Sunday morning , and witness , not having any work , could not pay him . -Crano said ' Well , if you don't pay , you know tho consequence , ' and wont away . "
Tho jury , after deliberating twenty minutes , returned a verdict of Accidental Death , accompanied by tho following recommendation : — " Tho jury earnestly recommend to the Commissioners of Sewers that they would anthoriso a special survey forthwith to bo made of all buildings in tho City of London , that from age , or other causes , may bo supposed to bo out of substantial repair , " Tho Inquiry lasted from cloven o ' clock till half-pnst four .

THE DEAD-LOCK IN AMERICA . Public business is at a dead-lock in the United States , and Englishmen- are railing at the Americans as if they enjoyed the fun of the fix in -which the republicans are placed . We have already stated the facts amongst our American news . The antecedent history of the affair may for our present purpose be told in very few words . Some years ago the leading statesmen of America agreed to pass a variety of measures which were intended to establish the status quo in matters of Slavery . The most conspicuous of these
measures were an agreement that no Slave state should "be established north of a particular line , the Slave states having the power of extending south of that line .. The purpose of this was to prevent either interest—the ]? ree-state interest or the Slave-state interest-r-from stealing the preponderance . Another law consisted of an agreement that if the slaves of one state should escape into another , the authorities of the former state should have power to pursue the slave and recapture him . This was again an endeavour to perpetuate the status quo . The leading men who assented to these measures were not all
of them warm either in favour of abolition or in favour of maintaining slavery . A number of them , we know , desired that the institution should be deliberately discussed and , if possible , gradually displaced . The most conspicuous man of this important party was Henuy Clay , who is well known to have suggested that a law should bo passed
by the several Slave states themselves , fixing the day after which all children bora should be free , and in the meanwhile making arrangements gradually to provide for the Blacks thus emancipated . Recently , however , the Slave Btates thought that they could obtain an advantage , and that they could establish a Slave state north of tho Missouri
compromise lino in Kansas . Ostensibly , Kansas was to choose whether she would or would not establish slavery , which is quite consistent with the genius of American institutions ; but endeavours were mado to people the new territory with men of tho Slave-holding classes . On the other hand , Free-soilers rushed in , and took up lands . Thero wcro in fact two rival "peoples—a free
peoploand a slave-owning people—established within tho same territory , with rival governments , rival militia , conflicts of laws , of acts . There Avere two states in ono territory . Positive fighting ensued ; and it was with that illustration , that the proposed Kansas ' constitution' camo before Congress for debate . Both parties tried to obtain such a form of
