would id on the table. A letter from the chair man of the Demerara Railway Company had been read at a meeting of the Court of Policy, stating that in consequence of pecuniary difficulties the directors I bad found it necessary to instruct the committee of ' m anagement in the colony to suspend the comple tion of the line at • point several miles short of Mahaica, the place where the directors originally agreed to run the trains. This announcement= grtst di s satisfaction in the colony, and the following resolution were arca to on the si ject Resolved, lst,—That this court is of opinion that after the assurances given in the sankinsd court whoa • pardon of the guaranteed loan was applied br the directors of 5,0001., of tkesaisfaat than Assisi lois an express condition, by ordiuman data like of Kw* WA and for the sole purpose se astilllng As compel, to continue the line halfway beevems Vide& and Mahaisa. --elm, the further payment to the local lssaull of manage ment of the remaining sum of 5,0001., in order to secure the completion of the railway to Mahaica, it would be a breach of faith towards the colony if the directors of the Dement= Railway Company should persist in their inten tion of suspending the construction of all works beyond Victoria for an indefinite period, instead 41 1 doing all in their power to complete the line to blahaica, as stipulated in the ordinance by the end of the present year. 2. That this court calls upon the local board of manage mut not to abdicate their functions nor consent to the appropriation of such part of the loan as may null remain unexpended to any other object than that of defraying the cost of construction of the line of railway between the vil lage of Victoria and the village of Mahaies. 3. That his excellency the governor be requested to for ward • ropy of these resolutions to the directors of the De merara Railway Company in London, and the secretary be requested to send a copy of the mine to the local board in Demerara. A vacancy had taken place in the College of Finan cial Representatives by the resignation of Mr. John Duly. The schooner yacht Ariel, with Sir George Douglas on board, had arrived at Demerara. The weather had been very rainy during the fortnight preceding the packet's departure. TRIN IDA D. The Governor had communicated to the council the intelligence that all the Coolies whose period of service had expired had accepted the colonial bounty of 30 dole. fur entering into new engagements of five years more. These people had all turned out ex ceedingly well. The IWza Stewart had arrived with a fresh supply of Coolies (173 in number) after a pas sage of 83 days. Lord Harris had issued a proclama tion, directing that two burial-grounds in the town el San Fernando should be forthwith closed, as they were reported to be dangerous to the public health. The Trinidadian states, however, that a large number of Coolies whose contracts had expired were about to leave the island, and were waiting till the Govern ment should provide a transport for their conveyance. The crop generally was proceeding well. The San Fernando fiecette complains that shipping was scarce, and that the wharfs were encumbered with produce, because there were no ships by which to send it to market. LEEWARD ISLANDS. Mr. D. It. Ross, the newly-appointed Lieutenant- Governor of Tobago, had arrived there in her Ma jesty's sloop Helena, and was duly installed in office. In Grenada some alight showers had fallen. The St. Vincent papers mention a rumour that the lieutenant-governor had received a despatch from the Colonial-office, notifying that his term of office would not be extended beyond the period for which he was appointed, and which will expire in October. The return of the census of the island of Antigua gives the population of that colony at 17,378 males and 19,011 females ; total, 38,389. The St. Lucia papers mention that Governor Dar ling, having obtained leave of absence, would shortly proceed to England. The St. Lucia Palladium, of April 25, gives a very gloomy description of the condition of the colony, on account of the long drought, but just before the sail ing of the packet a most favourable change in tho weather took place, and a few genial showers had fallen, to the great benefit of vegetation. A large sum of money in British silver h-ut been received in the island to replace cut money withdrawn from cir culation by the Colonial Bank. A French steamer arrived at St. Thomas on the 17th of May, and reported that an earthquake had continued with but little intermission at Guadaloupe for 24 hours; the inhabitants were in great conster nation. We have not learnt what damage had been done up to the time of the steamer leaving Sir John M•Gregor, Governor of Tortola, diedon that island on the 11th May. Her Majesty's sloop Helena being there at the time, the interment took place under a fire of minute guns from her, the offieersand crew attending at the funeral. The weather was favourable for the crops. The cholera still lingers in various parts of Jamaica, and in many places shows symptoms of a fresh outbreak. (For markets sot pegs 4.) THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. By the Tcviot we lssi that the screw mail steamer Sir Robert Peel, from the Cape of Good Hope, arrived at St. Vincent on the 26th ult., and left the same day for Plymouth; she had news on board from the Cape up to the 2nd ult. It appears that she left the Cape two or three days before her time, with important and urgent despatches for the government. Those on board the Sir Robert Peel refused to give any journals or mention the news they had from the Cape to parties on board the Teviot, which was then lying in St. Vincent harbour, although there was every probability that the Teviot would reach England first. Dunng the stay of the Sir Hobert Peel and Teviot at St. Vincent, per sons on board the latter obtained by much difficulty, and the observance of much secrecy, that the news from the Cape was of great importance—that Sir Harry Smith was just holding his own. He could not advance, and was merely sending out scouring parties. Ile was anxiously waiting reinbreements from England. The Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer, Singapore, with 300 troops, had ar rived at the Cape, but her Majesty's steamer Vulcan had not arrived when the Sir Robert Peel left. A Kaffir chief, on whose alliance the governor relied upon, had gone over to the enemy. Iho beers were taking the tield. In an engagement with the enemy 123 of the British troops, men and officers, had been slain. The Sir Robert Peel did not stop to coal at St. Vincent, her commander being anxious to reach Plymouth before the Tcviot reached Southampton. When the screw mail steamer left St. Vincent, she had a tremendous head wind to encounter, and it was hardly possible for her to make headway. It was expected that she could not reach Plymouth for two days or longer after the Teviot arrived at Southampton. Meanwhile, we have received files of papers from the Cape to the 16th of April, eight days later than ,those previously arrived. The following summary is from the South African, of the 12th of April: The intelligence received by Thursday's post is mars gloomy than ever. A feeling . of discouragement and alarm seems to pervade all communications from the frontier, and scarcely any of the writen find hope of relief from the genera anxiety in any prospect that the future offers. ' One correspondent writes from Graham's Town The war, I deem is not yet commenced.

This certainly is a valuable achievement." Such is the prement unhappy state of the whole interior. There seems no prospect of any aid from foreign sources, and, indeed, it is currently stated that the Governor will not undertake the responsibility of sending for troops elsewhere. The civilians of the immediate border are ex posed to ruin, from the continued s,!rvice required of them, and the continued state of uncertainty in which they live. And even the West feels the evils of the war most bitterly. The Cape Town Mail of the lath of April, saps: Report has reached town to the effect that the convoy of waggons, sent from herce to Fort Hare with supplies, to wards the end of last week, were attacked when near Mires deserted mission station (a few miles east of the Kat River) by a large body of Hottentots and Kaffirs—the officer in charge, Captain W. Ayliff, being thrown off his guard by a party of rebel Hottentots riding up in the uniform of the Cape Mounted Rifles. Captain Ayliff had his horse shot, and the Fingo escort, supposing him killed as well, retired, hut were speedily rallied, and so well led that they recaptured all the oxen which had been driven off by the assailants, and succeeded ultimately in reaching Fort Hare with the whole of their charge. In this affair it is said that an infant in the arias ot its mother (Mn. Williams), was shot by the rebels, she being herself severely wounded in the hand. The lull details of this affair have not reached us—the above putticulars resting upon a letter from Fort Hare, written hurriedly, just alter the convoy had got in, and as the express fur town was on the eve of starting. The Graham's Town Journal has the following latest intelligence from head-quarters: April s.—The intelligence from the front, King Wil liam's Town and Fort Hare received this morning, is upon the whole of an unfavourable character. From the former place we have the official account of the patrol into Seyolo's country, under the command of Major Wilmot. That duty appears to have been ably sod gallantly executed by that officer, whose report, as published to-day, is so fell and satisfactory as to make lengthened comment superfluous. The results were comparatively trivial, but still the move- Sent itself was not unimportant. Seyolo's country has now been completely traversed, and it is fully ascertained that the great body of his men and all their cattle are in the Anemia, where, it is said, Sandilli has with him a force of Ikea nen, well equipped, and prepared to dispute the perind with the British troops. Palivate letters, received from the front, corroborate fully antetuents made in the report of Major Wilmot, by which it appears that in the three days' movements, in a very difficult country, the enemy were completely baffled, and between thirty and forty of them killed in the several skirmishes. The Fingoes are said to have behaved remarkably well—the chief ot the fighting falling to the share of Lieut. Griffiths, with about 200 men, one-fourth of whom were Fineries. The second night the patrol bivouacked on a very lovely spot on the banks of the Kiesk unma, some twenty or thirty shots being tired on the picquets during the night, but without damage . Among the killed was Umlanjeui's ,can, who booted that he bore a charmed life, and that no bullet mould have effect upon him. lle was killed on the spot. An amusing little episode in this affair is the following: Numerous Kaffir* were said to be seen on a hill, and so con vineeil was Lieutenant C— of their identity, that he re- solved most manfully to charge them. Making, therefore, an oration to nix men to reserve their fire, &c., and having an assurance from all that they would stand by him " like bricks," he pushed forward, whealo!—Umlanjeni again!— the enemy were found to be aloes! standing, as it were, in mockery of the gallant spirits by whom they were about to be assailed. Some serious disclosures have just been made at King WA. liam's Town, which show that the conspiracy among the Hottentots is much deeper and more wide-spread than many are led to believe. It is said that the Cape Corps has sup plied Sandilii with large quantities of ammunition, and that on examination of the carbides of the disbanded men, all, with one or two exceptions, were found loaded with blank cartridge. This may account for the little execution done by these men, and may afford us a clue to the loss of Adju tant Gordon and the gAlaut men of the 91st, at an early period of the war. The following official notice has been published relative to this conspiracy, and is all, perhaps, that the commander-he chief thinks it prudent to publish at the present moment : " King William's Town, March 31, 1851. "On the evening of the 28th inst. two Hottentot women arrived front &whiles, where the deserters of the Cape Mounted Rifles are, for the purpose of tampering with this corps and the Albany Levy, bySandilli's desire. They were immediately invited by Serjeant Abercrombie, after haring been brought to him very properly by Platje tßoffel and Stoffel Bayer, of the disarmed Albany company. One of these women has turned Queen's evidence, which has led to important diselosurtsi and to the arrest of a Kaffir mule waggoner, called who alter some intimidation also turned Queen's evidence, acknowledging that he has been in constant communication with Sandilli. Upon this the Cape corps was immediately paraded, and several leading characters called out and made prisoners ; and thus the plot is discovered. "Jong GanvoeL, Lieutenant-Colonel, " Private Secretary. A good deal of excitement prevailed at King William's Town, at the date of the last *deices, in consequence of intelligence which had just come in from Krohe Country, kading to the full bAief that this chit f is deeply implicated in the war now wagin against the colony, with a view to the entire subversion of British authority in South Africa. It is affirmed, on the bat authority, that there am with Kreli shoat 200 Hottentot rebels ' many of them being deserters from the Cape Mounted Rifles, and that these miscreants have burnt down the trading station of Messrs. Crouch, on the Commama, not far from Kroli's kraal, and plundered it of all the property. It is supposed that the chief, with about half his tribe, are now openly engaged in hostilities. Kreli has also sent messages to Umbels and Pato to attack the English, the effect of which we have yet to learn. This information induced the governor to coun termand slam patrol, which was just on the eve of starting to scour a portion of the enemy's country. The Hottentots with Kroh were urging him to all kinds of mischief, and among the rest to attack Butterworth, in the event of which it would be probably expedient for the l.'ingoes to concen trate, who might then muster about 3,000 fighting men, and if well led by Europeans, would make a good and we doubt not a successful stand against the common enemy. The deduction we make from the intelligence which has come in to-day is, that until wo get a considerable addition • to our European force, no movement upon a general sc de can be made against the enemy. It is evident that the coloured Cl3l‘ei cannot be depended on, nor must the safety of the colony be risked by any dependence upon their fidelity. There may be good and honest men among them, hut the leaven of disaffection has been allowed so long to r work among them, that we know not were such are to be found. In the meantime, we discover some of them in the _ colony. persisting themeless as dastardly eneswins—way . laying travellers ad seemtitdng sennews whisk meet being upon them the vempeense et dm iew and et every Mame ma.

LOSS OF TUE NEPTUNE (LONDON AND ST. PETERS BURG) STEAII-11111P.—NLEROW ESCAPE OP TUE PASSIM -02114 AND CREW.—This first-class splendid steam-frig ate, has, we re gret to say, been wrecked on a formi d able reef of rocks in the Sound of Elsinore while pursuing a voyage from the Thames to the northern capital. It may be recollected she was specially selected to convey the numerous packages of Russian manufacture and produce for the Great Exhibition, which are now in the course of arrangement in the building, and, having taken on board almost as valuable a cargo, was on her return voyage when the unfortunate accident betel her. It appears that she left her moorings off Irongate Steam-wharf, St. Katherine's, on the morning of the 27th ult., having on beard about 40 passengers, a general cargo of marchan• dile, and some four or live carriages, which were plated as deck. She made the Elsinore Light about put 10 on Sunday night last, the wind blowing ne ther fresh from the N.N.W. but beyond that there was no unfavourable circumstance. Nothing occurred to create the least alarm until she had steamed some eight or' nine miles further, when suddenly she "bounced" into a dangerous reef of rocks off that part of tho coast called Swine Bottoms, off Logamas, and all was thrown into a state of consternation and dismay. The engines were backed, and every stratagem was resorted to to get her off, but without avail, the wind and rough sea act en the vessel so sa to drive her further into danger ; andl less than half an hour the water had burst *morn bee sem partmcnts (for she was an iron-built ship), asabse halves full up to within • foot of her main deck.

BANQUET TO THE COI OF MADRAS. On Saturday last the Fast India Company gave a congratulatory dinner to Lieut.-General Sir Richard Arm strong, on his appointment to the chief command of the company's forces at Madras. Tho scene of the entertain ment was the London Tavern, the whole of the resources of which were brought into requisition 011 the oceasion. The grand staircase and the approaches to the dining hall were adorned with draperies, relieved by mirrors and exotic plants. The hall itself pre anted a magnificent appear- l ance. The whole of the company's costly service of ploisl was displayed. At either end were becurfers on which were ' ranged massive salvers of gold and silver gilt. The dining and side tables almost groaned under the enormous load of the precious metals they were made to bear , . in vases, flagons, epergnes, candelabra, and other appropriate erne ments. The band of the Coldstream Guards was in at tendance, under the direction of Mr. Godfrey, and played at intervals during the evening a number of popular airs. Upwards of 200 noblemen and gentlemen sat down to dinner. At the principal table on the right of the chair- Man ((John Shepherd, Esq., the chairman of the company) eat Lieut.-General Sir H.

Brooke were also among the guests. %The routine toasts having been duly honoured, and Sir Richard Armstrong having returned thanks for hill health having been drunk (it was proposed in un eloquent and highly complimentary speech from the chair), The CHAIRMAN again rose and said they were honoured that day with the presence of several of the royal I commissioners appointed to promote the Great Exhibition of the works of the art and industry of the world. (Hear, hear.) All present must be aware of the persevering and indomitable exertions of Prince Albert and the noble lords and gentlemen who composed the commission, but he might without offence, he hoped, tell them that they were not so well acquainted with the formidable difficulties and obsta cles they had overcome in carrying out the project which had been so warmly patronised by her Majesty, and which had been originated by her royal consort. (Applause.) Ile need not now dwell on those difficulties and obstacles, for they had happily all been surmounted, and now there was only one feeling of satisfaction and surprise at the speedy and completely successful realisation of the project. (Applause.) Ile was sanguine in his belief that the e ff ect of the scheme in:bringing the people of different countries together to exhibit in peaceful rivalry the products of their industry, would tend to cement the ties of amity and goodwill amongst all nations, and that the Exhibition of 1851 would redound to the honour and credit of this coustry to the latest posterity. (Hear, hear.) lie was delighted to find that through the exertions of their officers abroad India had been able to make such a display of the valuable and rare productions of that part of her Majesty's dominions which was under the charge of the East India Company. (Hear, hear.) He was sure they would join cordially with him in drinking the health of his noble friend " Earl Gran ville and the Royal Commissioners." Earl GRAN VILLE returned thanks. Ile observed that there was no public body to whose aid the commissioners I were so much indebted for the means of carrying out the exhibition to a successful issue as the East India Com. puny. Last year the company joined in a guarantee for a considerable sum of money for the purpose, in order to en able the commissioners to raise money on easy terms. At the present moment such a guarantee might appear to Mat little value, and to entail but little risk; but he could aware them that the Royal Commissioners thought differently last I year, when, with little credit and less cash, they sent him (Lord Granville) as the trembling negotiator to the Bank parlour to negotiate a loan with the Bank of England. (Cheers.) The East India Company had also, by the exer tions of their civil and scientific servants, collected together a magnificent stual oriental, showing the resources and capabilities of that country, and which, 33 a school of indus try and art, must be invaluable throughout the whole civi lised world. One gentleman, who has shown so much kilow ledge of colour and e ff ect in the decoration of the building itself, had assured him that there were patterns in the Indian departinenc of the exhibition which no European artist could either design or copy, so as to preserve the same combina tion of colour and form. Much attention had been paid of late to the subject of education, and there could he no doubt that very ;important educational results must follow this great conception of Prince Albert (Hear, hear.) Ile believed that no one, who sought fur information of the products of foreign countries, but would find that unlimited means of increasing hie stock of knowledge and improving his mind at the exhibition. He believed that there was M sae so well informed, or so ill informed, whose store of knowledge would not be increased by a visit to Hyde Park. (Cheers.) Ile believed, too, the indirect beneficial effect of that exhibition would not be less conspicuous in another I way. If they reflected on the thousands of Smiting nice who for months past had been laying aside some portion of their weekly earnings, to the great annoyance of the publi eans,especially in the north of England, but to the intellectual advantage of themselves and their families in the visit to the Exhibition which their societies enabled them to make, they must allow that this was not the worst or least efficient agent in the education of the People. The CHAIRMAN then gave "The health of the Foreign HERR VON VIEBAIIN returned thanks. In his country, Germany, the exhibition of the works of art and industry of all nations met at first with great opposition among the manufacturers and merchants, but he mint con feu there never was a great nation that bad made a more noble and generous use of their resources than the English people or the English metropolis. (Hear, hear.) And ho heartily wished that the happiest results would flow from this great exhibition, which had been produced under the auspices of this country, at whose hospitable hearth they were now assembled. (Cheers.) Other toasts were followed by the " Health of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and the other distinguished visitor.." Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P., in returning thanks, said—We do not forget that for many long . years your army has been the rival, and the worthy rival, of the gallant army of England in their service in the field, and that the military glory of England would not suffer by comparison with that of any nation on the earth, even if it were tested only by the achievements our Indian sepoys have performed. (Applause.) We do not forget your civil service—that it is the pleasure and advantage of the advisers of the crown to draw, in circum stances of difficulty, upon the aid of those men who have, perhaps, been rarely equalled, certainly never surpassed. It is no small praise to the training you give, that it qualifies not only for the immediate service of the company, but for the higher and more important duties of the state. You send forth the high-spirited youth of England to undertake high offices where authority must necessarily be despotic ; but it is the highest praise that can be passed on the disci pline of the East India Company—the best and most unequi vocal proof of the effect of that discipline upon the mind is, that the government of the Queen has come to you on more than one occasion to draw from your service the fittest and most competent men, not to exercise despotic power over other race*, but to rule over the free men of En glish blood such as the colonists who were placed under the government of the late Lord Metcalfe (Loud cheers.) I cannot but rejoice at this opportunity of alluding to that distinguished man ; for I say that the fame of the East India Company would be well sustained if it had bred no other public servant than Lord Metcalfe. (Hear, bean) But this country abounds with men who are ready to devote their energies to its service; it abounds with men who are martyrs even in the labour of political life ; it abounds with men who whether he youth or wimmeed age have been ready to give up this seissimbi of hems, and the com forts which hams 'applies, hem mochas of unmixed patriotism. Them is so batter way of hewing what is the spirit of the East India Company, _red what it is capable of peritonea, he the bonsai of imilionol, than by referring to what bar metal tlooipiine and minim have done, whether in newest to tie your "my bas achieved for us, whitlow in revolt to the moirsiews additions you have made to the territories of the cows, or whether in to that which I think the highest posies—what yoU e L ard ve done for England be training for be sod adding to her character and hues by maturing kr her service virtues and abilities so ememoroate as Mom of the great Indian statesman to whom I base adsorbed.

COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION.-00 Saturday Lord Brougham's bill (No. 2), as amended in committee, was printed by order of the Howie of Lords. The object of this bill is to limit the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy, to abolish the Courts of Bankruptcy for the county dis tricts, and to give to the judges of the County Courts juris diction in matters of bankruptcy. The County Courts Bill (No. 1), which relates to the proceedings of the courts, is now in the House of Commons. The present outstare con tains 36 clauses, and it is proposed that it shall come into force en the 11th of (Mobs. The eventual annual saving under this bill and the Bankrupt Consolidation Let, 1649, is expected to be 66,170 L, and it is stated that 6,1001. a year has already been effected. By this bill commie loners, official assignees, assrmagers, and others of the Court of Bankruptcy are to be reduced in number. County Court judges in the country are to do all the work, with assist ance. Several alterations have been made in this bill whilst in committee of the Hpuse of Leeds. Nothing la said about additional Judges, or of inerening the salaries of the present. The judges of the County Courts are to reside within their respective districts, and not to pretties as bar risters. The commissioners are to be an oe judges, and are to sit at such times as the Lord Cbsnoe7lar shall appoint, or by goners' rule or order. The ant is to be called " The lint County Courts Extension Act, 1861."

In the account of this lamentable occurrcnc which appeared in the Erpreas of Saturday, and by which four persons lost their lives and a fifth is scarcely expected to recover from the injuries he has received, it was suggested that an obstruction had been placed on the rails with a malicious intention. It would now seem that it is likely to have been so placed through the thoughtless ness of some children, though even upon that point there is yet no evidence to lead to a po,itive opinion on the subject. The spot where the accident took place, which is known as Newmarket Bridge, is about two miles from Lewes. About 100 yards on the other aide of this bridge three sleepers were stacked ready for use, to replace others I whenever they might be wanted. These sleepers had been in the same situation for upwards of two months, and were not only found perfectly safe, at a distance of about six feet from the line, seams the gaugers examined it in the morning, according to usual custom, hut even as late as three-quarters of an hour previous to the accident, when the quarter past eleven a.m. train passed over tho line in perfect safety, Mr. Laing, the chairman of the company, and Mr. Braining, the inspector of the line, riding on the engine. In the immediate vicinity of this spot stands a labourer's cottage, with a garden abutting on the railway. In this cottage reside several children, and there are also other children living close by the railway, to which they can at all times obtain ready access, and it is supposed that some or other of these children had, unobserved, retuoviAl ono of the sle e per,., and placed one end of it on the railway, but without any malicious intention of causing injury. THE INQUEST.. At twelve o'clock on Satunlay the inquest was held at the County Hall, Lewes, before Mr. Gell and a jury of fifteen tradesmen. The jury having viewed the bodies of the four deceased persons, the names and ages of the de ceased were then given :—Mrs. Mary SiIIIMOIA Chatfield, a widow, aged 73; Miss Sarah Chatfield, aged 33; George Chase, fireman of the train, aged 19; and a man sinned Langhorne, Chri+tian name unknown, aged about 30. The ptoecedings were watched on the part of the com pany by Mr. Lang, the chairman; Mr. Nix, one of the di rectors ; Mr. Slight, the secretary ; Mr. Hawkins, the traffic supaintendent ; Mr. Craven, the locomotive super intendent; and Mr. Faithful, the solicitor, of Brighton. Mr. Somers Clarke attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the relations of the Chatfield'. The bodies of the deceased havin4 been identified, Mr. William Machin, station-master of the Brighton terruinee, was then called—At a quarter-past 11 o'clock yesterday morniug I despatched a train front Brighton station to Lewes, with which Mr. Laing, the chairman of the company, travelled. At five minutes past twelve I started another train to Lewes. It consisted of an engine and teuder, a first-clam carriage, two seconds, and a third. There were about eight or time passengers. In the first carriage, a second class, there was no passenger ; in the next, a third class, there were four or five ; in the next, a first class, one or two ; and the last, a break second, in which was the guard. The engine driver, Samuel Jaelisou, and George Chase, the fireman, were hot:. on the engine. The guard was in the last carriage. The second train which left Brighton had the tender fires, before the engine. It is usual with short trains un this liue. In many places we have no turn tables to turn the engine. By the Coroner : it never occurred to me that danger was to be apprehended in running the tender first. With light trains it matters but very little, but with heavy, or goods trains, it is necessary to send the engine first. Henry Earl—Was guard to the train which left Brighton at five minutes past 12 yesterday (Friday). We went ou safely until we ai rived at the spot of the accident, and I was in front of the last carriage. We stopped at Fulmer, and on re-starting travelled at from 20 to '2l miles an hour. 'the first I felt of the accident was a sudden jerk, and the moment I looked I saw the tender it. front of the engine go over the wall of the arch, as did the engine, and my car riage turned round and up a little. It kept to the road, and un arriving near the arch it stopped. I got down and looked over the arch and saw the engine. There wad a deal of steam, but I could not hen- any one. I then placed sig nals up and down the line. The gentleman in the first class, who was not hurt, let himself out. I assisted two passengers out of a second class carriage. I then went down to the arch and saw three dead bodies. Observed the driver, who spoke to me; he was in much pain and was crying deeply. Coroner—Now, dad you notice anthing of a sleeper on the line ? Witness—Yes; before [went down to the arch I saw a man, a plate-layer, whom I had sent towards Fainter with a signal, lilt a sleeper off the rails as he went along. I saw him take it off, and I said, "'That is what threw us off." I was following the man with a fog.signal, and that is why I noticed it particularly. One end of the sleeper rested on the north metal, and the other end on the sleepers of the road. There were fragments of the sleeper lying about. Mr. Superintendent Flannagan here produced the sleeper and fragments, and it was obvious that it had been split and shattered by something heavy passing over it, such as the wheels of a locomotive. Coroner—Did you see any persons near the spot ? Wit nes—l saw three men, plate-layers, about 300 yards front where the accident happened, and a man on the bank about 200 yards off. Samuel Falvey, a young agricultural labourer, who was in the third class carriage which was dragged over the bridge, and whose extraordinary escape excited much interest, was next examined. Hu seemed to be suffering from the effects of the fall, Ile said, I was a passenger by the third-class carriage. After we left lalmer a thick dust arose. I felt a shock, and I lay down at the bottom of the carriage under the seat. The carriage went over the bridge and fell on its end. The three passengers who were in the carriage with me were killed. They stood at the other end. Coroner—Then how did you escape ? Witness—Why, I held on under the seat, and then scrambled out ou to the embankment of the line. I did not think the train was going at too fast u rate. The proceedings were here adjourned for an hour and a half. Upon the reassembling of the jury at seven o'clock, Richard Chatfield, a plate layer, in the employ of Mr. Oli ver, a contractor of the line, was examined, and said—l have been employed five years and nine months on this line. There are three of us there employed. I had to go round my " length " about 100 yards over the arch. I ex amine the line twice a day. I examined it yesterday. I had been weeding the line. I did not at all disturb the sleepers, nor put down fresh rises. I was at work about 50 yards from the sleepers. I saw the sleepers on the north side of the line in the morning. I placed them there about three months ago. I have never moved them from that time. There were three sleepers. The last time I saw them was about half past *even yesterday morning. I did nut, while I was at wore, see anybody near the sleepers. By a Juror—We were too far from the sleepers while at work to see where they were removed. I was about half a mile from them. James Chatfield, brother of the last witness, said—l should think, when I last saw the sleepers, the nearest part of them to the rail was about six feet. I did nut see the broken sleeper until I saw it in this room to-day. By Mr. Clark—While I was at dinner my brother walked down the line towards the archway. I supposed my bro ther was going to his garden, which he has at the end of the cutting. That is about 150 yards from the place where the sleepers are deposited. Ilannula Boakes—l am the wife of Henry Boakes, a labourer. I live near the Newmarket archway. Ido not know whether there were any sleepers on the line. I did not see the accident, or hear the crash. I have five child ren ; three of them were in the house when the accident took place. My eldest son is about ten years old. lie was at work during the morning in the garden. I never knew my children to play on the railway. By Mr. Faithfull.—l never saw my boy for about an hour. The railway adjoins the garden. His little brother was also in the garden. They both came in together. I called them in about 12 o'clock, and they came in. When I told my eldest boy to go to Aid - immix!, he said he must first see the train go past. Ile appeared very anxious to See the train pans. When he came back he said, " Oh, mother, the train has gone over, what shall we do." Ho did not anxious to see whether there was any one hut. ?Irr a e r is a man and his wife, and four other children named Wicks also living in the house. Wicks's two boys wars both at school. My eldest girl is away from home, end the next girl at school; she don't come home till six in the evening. My second boy is five years old. It did not strike me as anything particular that my boy wanted to see the train. My children and Wicks's children often play together, but yesterday morning I know Wicks's boys were at school, and the girl in the house. My husband was not at home that day until after he heard of the accident. James Edward Boakes the child, ten years of age, was then examined as to his knowledge of the obligation of an oath. He stated that he went to school. He knew that there was a God, and he should be punished if he did not speak the truth. lie went to church and knew his cate chism. The jury, however, expressed an opinion that the child ought not to be examined, we believe because Do cried. The inquiry was then adjourned till 12 o'clock on Friday next. BRIGHTON, flonnmr. The unfortunate engine -driver, Jackson, died this morn ing at the Sussex County Hospital, at 12 o'clock, from the effects of his injuries. In the course of the day bills were posted in Brighton, offering a reward of 501. for the appre hension of the person or penes§ who had wilfully placed • wooden sleeper on the rails, by which means the train was thrown off. THE Haiwiem Eti.cnon.—The second election ! for the borough of Harwich, it appears, is not to pass by undisputed for on Friday evening a petition against the return of Mr. Crawford was presented to the House of Commons. The document alleges, as the foundation for , the petition, that the poll was closed on the day of voting before four ock prematurely and unlawfully by the re- turning officer, without any sufficient excuse for or notice of I such closing ; that • number of voters were then wading to vote for Mr. Henry Roby Prinsep, but were prevented from so doing by the premature closing of the poll ; that ings at the said election were, before the closing ' of trp eee dl, l interrupted and obstructed by open violence ; I that many persons not properly qualified had voted for Mr. Robert Wigrant Crawford, and that their votes ought to be streak off ; that divers persons had voted for Mr. Craw ford, who had asked, raised, and taken money or other re ward, and were therefore disqualified ; that the agents of Mr. Crawford had been guilty of bribery, treating, intimi dation, and other unlawful acts and practices in order to procure vette, and that the votes of properly qualified per sons had been refused for Mr. Prinsep ; that under all these eireamstanow, the election of Mr. Crawford ought to be laid null and void. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Juice 7. The Tipperary " aggregate" meeting of Thursday last was more remarkable for the refusal of the Roman catholic high sheriff, Mr. Ryan, of Inch, to comply with the requisition for convening it, than. for any other circumstance connected with it. The local Roman catholic organs describe it as having been a most important demonstration of popular feeling, but a correspondent of the Evening Mali gives the subjoined very different account of the proceedings : CLONDIEL, THURSDAY RVINING.—The long-talked-of aggregate meeting of the Roman catholic of this county came off to-day in the court-house of Cashel; and, notwith standing all the efforts of the clergy, secular and regular, secretaries, &c., &c , it has proved a most decided failure. The building, which is anything but large, was more than adequate to contain the assembly, which, tar the most part, consisted of the Cashel rabble. That portion of the court house which was used as a platform is raised some feet from the main floor, and was occupied by a host of P.U.'s and C.C.'s, while sonic of the better-dressed portion of the community were also allowed the genie privi lege, which prevented them from intermingling with the herd below. The chair was taken shortly before ten o'clock by a Mr. Scully, brother to one of the members of this county ; and as it would be anything but advisable to put the entire resolutions into the hands of clerical orators, i some of theta wire entrusted to the laity, who, in most nstances, contented themselves with merely moving and seconding those which fell to their respective lots, thereby demising . the enlightened auditory of the expected display of their rhetorical powers. Charles Bien coal, jun., of Longfield, I understand, was one of the excep tions, as be made his debut and maiden speech on the occasion. The proceedings were brought to a termination before three o'co.ct: p.m., and, although brief, what wan said was, as usual, fiery and to the purpose, interspersed with numerous threats of resistance to the bill by the priests, and protestations of willingness to march to the vary verge of the gallows for their religion, the exercise of which said religion nobody has the least intention of inter fering with, while poor Mr. Ryan, of Inch, for his meri torious conduct, came in, as might be expected from such a gathering, fur more than au average share of invective and abuse. Mr. Bagwell, although expected (as one of the requi,itionists) did not attend, an example followed by the mayor and nearly all the corporation of this town, though so contiguous. In fact, ono need not be surprise d at the paucity of the Clonmel contingent, when many of the in habitants of Cashel, although %Anil' a itone's-throw of the locality of the meeting, did not grace it with their presence.

Sir G. Grey immediately referred Lord D. Stuart to Lord Pairaes elan and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and as he wan going to see them he accidently met L ord John Russell 1 CZ d°wn made acquainted with oli.°f(hie John on almost immediately authorised Lord Dudley Stuart to send a telegraphic communication to the mayor of Southampton empowering his worship to provide temporary assistance for the refugees at the expense of the government.
