BURNYEAT, BROWN & CO.           (LIMITED)        The annual meeting of Messrs. BURNYEAT, BROWN, & Co., colliery proprietors, Cardiff, was held on Tuesday at Liverpool. Mr. William BURNYEAT, Whitehaven, presided.        The Chairman remarked on the prosperous nature of the undertaking.  At Sirhowy, he stated with the exception of deepening the east pit about 40 yards, the sinking of two pits were now completed. In the east pit at the depth of 312 yards, the big vein coal was reached in February last, and proved to be 9 ft. 5 in. thick, with an excellent thick top., which would produce very heavily immediately.        At the west pit the report had under estimated the output. Instead of 100 tons per day,  they had produced 200 tons during this past week.        The report was adopted, and Mr. William PEILE and Mr. John Allen McKIBBIN, were re-elected directors. ****** FORTHCOMING CLASSICAL CONCERT AT EGREMONT.        In our advertising columns will be found a notice of a Grand Concert which is being given in the Town Hall, Egremont, next Wednesday. Some of the most popular of London artistes make up a programme of high class order, and Mr. Claude GASCOIGNE , A.R.A.M., is to be the pianist. Mr. GASCOIGNE is a young pianist of promise, and his brilliant performances at the Crystal Palace, Queen's Hall, and St. James Hall, London, have been most successful.        Miss. Annabel M'DONALD is the soprano, Mr. J. Musgrave WRIGHT the tenor, Mr. S. H. BRAITHWAITE. L. R. A. M., solo clarinet, whilst Mr. Collingwood GEE, a London society entertainer, completes a splendid programme.        It is some time ago since such a classical concert was given in this district, and the London talent ought to prove a great attraction to lovers of music. ******
