Amoria political men an opinion is becoming pre valent that we are within six months of a General Election. For members of Parliament who do not belong to that illustrious House where eminent Re formers can rest and be thankful, the practical question arises—What shall we say to the electors ? The party that has least reason to occupy itself with this inquiry is that of the Conservatives. Their leaders will be able to say that in the dis solved Parliament they honourably fulfilled all their pledges up to the moment when they were driven from power by a factious combination of office seekers ; that out of office they have borne them selves with dignity and moderation, and that they have known how to increase their influence so far that for some time past they have been able to im pose a Conservative policy upon a Ministry which calls itself LiberaL The Conservatives will thus go to the country with titles to the respect of those whose confidence they will not think of asking. But how are the great majority of Lord Psmuntsrox's fol lowers to secure re-election, when the party u • whole is justly reproached with aims abandoned, promises broken, and principles repudiated t This is the great difficulty which is weighing on so-called Liberal members having constituents who dare pre sume to independence. Thoughts of this kind were present amongst the gentlemen of the Liberal party who lately dined together at the Queen's Hotel at Leeds. There was a great deal of energetic stirring and blowing to get s little flicker of flame out of the dying em bers of liberalism on this occasion, but we doubt whether on the whole the result was satisfactory to those engaged. The assembly represented very fairly the variety of opinion and feeling included in the Liberal party. Lord Houctirox was there, with his mild epicurean discontent and dilettante earnestness, impatient to "ascend to still further "heights in the great march of progress;" Sir JOHN RAMSDEN, possibly to wonder whether he was wise in proclaiming so soon that " the great bubble of Democracy had burst ;" Mr. EDWARD BAINES, to compliment the Liberals who had helped to shelve his little Reform Bill ; and Sir F. CROSSLEY, to denounce, with a bitterness almost personal in tone, the two most eminent reformers of the day. Great pains were taken to show that Liberals are not Conser vatives, nor Couservatives Liberals, and the belief that " real liberalism is defunct, or at least ea " dormant as if it were not of any practical use," was recognised by Mr. H. S. Tuomrsos, the chair man, as needing his unqualified and official con tradiction. Certainly Mr. THOMPSON did all that could be done by words to remove that very general conviction, although doubtless no ono felt more keenly than lie of how little value are verbal professions when theylack theconfirmation of deeds. The great question uppermost in all minds—How shall the seats in the Riding be made safe at the next election f —led to the expression of a variety of opinions, but no speaker was able to mention a political programme with which the Liberal can didates might venture before the constituencies and offer it in the name of the party. The question of Parliamentary Reform was re vived at Leeds, as it is always revived when votes are likely to be wanted, but we are glad to observe that a certain feeling of delicacy, let us hope of honourable shame, restrained the speakers from abundant loud-mouthed professions such as we should have been sure to hear four years ago on that subject. Of course there were gentlemen pre sent, like Mr. Lasrsram and Mr. BAINES, whose consistency and fidelity gave them a right to speak boldly on the question of Reform, and no thing could be more friskily liberal than the convic tions expressed by Lord F. CAVENDISH. But on the whole it appeared to be acknowledged that the extension of the suffrage to any considerable number of the working classes was a measure which the Liberal party as at present constituted could not honestly promiso ; the differences of opinion among its members being too great. This appears to bo the simple fact ; and it is always best to know the facts even when they are the least flattering to self-love. As more than one speaker at Leeds remarked, the political power of the country is now in the hands of the Middle Classes, to whom it was transferred by the Reform Bill. Only the Middle Classes can confer the fran chise upon those classes below them who at pre sent are not entitled to vote. " Practical politicians" ask—Why should they do so Are they to be ex pected to confess that under a wider distribution of political power the country, and especially the classes at present unenfranchised, would be better governed ? If they could believe that any better l•rinciple of government were possible, that better laws could be made, or the present system be better administered, they would themselves at once adopt the improvement without waiting for organic change. Not believing this, they hesitate to confer on others a power which may be used dangerously. This appears to be the present feeling of the majority of the Middle Classes. It was hi-swiss the feeling of the classes from whom they themselves received a transfer of political power thirty years ago. The Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry, who then governed England, were thoroughly convinced that theirs was the best po•aible rule under which a community could live. They parted with power most unwillingly, and in the full conviction that the admission of the classes below them to political rights would prove fatal to the freedom and greatness of their country. But the process by which they were compelled to share their power with those below them is not one which can be repeated. The unenfranchised classes of 1863 cannot wrest power from the pri vileged minority who possess it, as was done in 1832. It follows, therefore, that if the Middle Classes have succeeded, not only to the position, but to the jealous spirit of their betters, no extension of the suffrage is possible. If the question of an extension of the suffrage were really before the country we should feel dis posed to address some serious considerations to the Middle Classes on the impolicy and danger of building up a wall of separation between them selves and the great body of the nation, ever increasing in intelligence and strength. All that is now said against an extension of the suffrage to the working-classes was as well said against ' the Reform Bill of 1832. The CROKEES and Wirrlizer.u.s of that day argued that "to " set abstract speculation above experience ; to " pull down what works well in order to set up " something in its place which may not work at " all; to create an agency of any kind, whether " political or commercial, not with a view to the " efficient discharge of the task it undertakes, but "to indulge a sentiment, or to reward good con " duct, or to gratify expectations previously raised, "or to satisfy a vague yearning for equality in " persons really unequal, has never been the foible "of the English people." Such was exactly the view taken, and such the language held by the governing classes of that day. If the Middle Classes of to-day think that promises should not be fulfilled, and that the loyalty and patience of the people ought not to be recognised as constituting a title to a share of political power, we can only regret that our age should have nourished a spirit so exclu sive and oligarchical, and remind them that most of the revolutions and wars of these days have been made because government& have been too slow to indulge "a sentiment." The question, however, is not before the country—it is only before aparty, and a party deceased. We are only at present concerned to protest against a repetition of the hypocrisy and fraud perpetrated in 1859. We do not know how far it is true, as some subordinate members of the Government have been permitted to suggest, that Lord PsomitsvoN is about to prop up his failing administration by appealing once more to those whom he has betrayed. We will only say that we do not believe that any such course will serve his purpose, but that it will be the duty of all honest men, and especially of honest Liberals, to prevent the enemas of any such mere hustings device. be Court. WINDSOR CASTLE. Drc. Is.

THE GERMAN FEDERAL TROOPS ON THEIR MARCH. (now oak owl( coazzarostaarr.) HAMBURG, D. 17. The federal troops have commenced their march, and are approaching the frontiers of Holstein and Laueuburg from all sides. The Hanoverian, after being reviewed by their King and exhorted by him to uphold their well-earned fame, are massed at Harburg and other places on the opposite side of the Elbe, and breathe nothing but war. The Saxons were to be furnished with the German (black, red, and gold) cockade, but King Johann has since thought proper to annul the order. They have passed Magdeburg, and will leave the railroad carriages in Mecklenburg and march into Lauenburg on foot. The march of the Austrians will be more quiet, as the Schleswig-Holstein agitation is by no means palatable at Vienna. For the present their force will be limited to a corps of 5,500 men ; but preparations have been made for forwarding a further reinforcement of 15,000 men should the Danes make any resistance. In order to be prepared for the arrival and due housing of troops in this city a commission has been appointed. Their first step was a public invitation to those inclined to remise troops in their houses to send in their addresses and the num ber of men they were prepared to accommodate, but the remuneration offered (12 schillings currency per man per diem) was deemed so unsatisfactory that but very few responded to the summons, so ' that it was found absolutely needful to raise the price offered from 12 to 16 whiffing& This hag succeeded better, and there are now quarters ready and disposable for 5,000 men, which will nearly cover the Austrians announced, and the rest will be billetted in the surrounding villages. The Prince of Augustenburg wanted very much to remove his head-quarters and provisional seat of government to this city—a proposal, however, that was fortunately overruled in a most decided manner by Austria and Prussia. He now talks of removing to Brunswick. General Fleury, Master of the Horse to the Em peror of the French, passed through this city yes terday on a special mission to the King of Den mark. I believe I am justified iu announcing that the Danish troops in Altona and other parts of Holstein have received orders to retreat, on the approach of the Federal troops, in a peaceable manner, and without any hostile demonstration.

(110* oui OWN coansposramer.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVIDII2IO.. I hear that the address has been voted by the Senate this afternoon without either Prince Napo leon, Count Walewaki, or any government commis sary saying a word about Poland. This &no:le nient will surprise many. It is evident that Prince Napoleon's mouth is stopped by superior order, and one vow understands why there was a rumour some time ago that there was a wish to have the address voted by acclamation without a debate. The debate in the Corps Legislatif will not begin till after New Year's-day. Lieut. Fleury, of the Voltigeurs of the Guard, who, it will be remembered, was lately sentenced to 20 years' hard labour for the murder of a laundress, his mistress, is to have a new trial. The Military Council of Revision has quashed the sentence of the court-martial upon a point of form—the evidence of a witness in Algeria not having been taken in the matter prescribed by one of the articles of war. The case will be tried de novo by the permanent court-martial of Paris. WEATHER B.ZPORT.-(THIS DAY.) B•TUIDAY, DICISIUM 10, 8 A.X. B. IIL, - D. .--1 Hare .... 4 - 21r4 -° Aberde .

DRAMA. ---•-- BEAUFORT-HOUSE PRIVATE THEATRICALS. The first amateur dramatic performance of this (the second) season of the South Middlesex and Westmin ster Volunteers took place at Beaufort-house, Walken green, Fulham, last evening. The long room built by the corps for regimental purposes at the back of the old hones, now the head-quarters of the division, was crowded by an elegant and enthusiastic audience, and the convenient little stage at the end presented some very good scenery, and a troop of actors who, considering that they were amateurs, acquitted themselves creditably, and in some respects excel lently. The performances consisted of the lively vaudeville, by Mr. Palma,. Simpson, called Court Cards, and an origi nal burlesque, by Messrs. Edward Draper and Ellis Rey. ' noble, of the Westminster Voblotters, entitled The Chinese Invasion of 1960. In the first of these pieces the ladies unquestionably won the chief honour, the gentlemen being rather awkward, as if unpleasantly conscious of their f►ncy costumes. The three female characters were played by ladies who evinced much tut and dramatic feeling. Miss A. B. (for the programme, as regards the actresses, only gives us initials) represented a dragonish old lady with genuine spiteful intensity. Mrs. T., as a lady of honour at the court of a little German principality, was agreeable and re filled ; and Mrs. J. H. 8., as the Primmer Amelia of Heiden hamen, displayed so much grace, point, and spirit, after she had conquered her first nervousness, as to draw forth frequent rounds of applause. This lady cer tainly looked the princess to perfection, and enlisted the will of the audience from the moment she made her In the burlesque the gentlemen had it all to themselves, and did much better than in the drama. The greater number appeared in their own dresses and their own proper characters, as Volunteer Riflemen ; and all acted, sang, and danced with admirable energy, skill, and humour. We have never seen better burlesque fooling on the regular stage than that of Messrs. Deane, Draper, Bird, Matthews, Peckover, and Reynolds. The two last gentlemen, as Miss Churn-choo, a Chinese belle, and Sar-res, her attendant (a sort of Celestial Mrs. Gamy), showed their possession of first-rate comic powers and the most complete self-poresion. The "make-up" of both was highly ludicrous, end the falsetto sipping and mock feminine ways of the former provoked roars of laugh ter, one song and grotesque dance being honoured by a vociferous encore. We must not fail, moreover, to accord a just meed of praise to the writing of the burlesque itself. It was extremely piquant and fussy, sad the puns were among the Lest for ingenious badmen that we have beard for a Hog while. CHRISTMAS NOVELTIES AT THE THEATRES. The Christmas pantomime at Covent Garden is entitled St. George and Me Dragon; or, the Seven Cham pions and the Beautiful Princess. It is written by Mr. Byron, who has adhered to the most important pointa of I the original slaty. Great attention has been bestowed upon the scenes, some of which are said to produce re makable comic effect" ; and in the transformatio;e= ' called the " Hall of Chivalry," Mr. Grieve has all his former efforts.—At Drury Lane the Christmas piece is entitled Sinbad the Sailor; or, the Great Roc of the Diamond Yalky, and the Seven Wonders of the World, by Mr. E. L. Blanchard. The scenic effects have ' been designed and executed by Mr. William Bentley. The barlequinsde will be supported by a double pantomime company, including Messrs. Harry Boleno and 0. Lauri as clowns, Mr. Barnes awl Mr. J. Morris as pantaloons, Mr. Cormack and Mr. Saville as harlequin', and Mdme. Boleno and the Misses Gunnies as columbines. King Arthur; or, the Days and Knights of the Round Table, is the title of the Christmas piece at the Haymarket. This extrava gauze, as the title implies. is founded upon the well-known tale on the same subject. Menus. Tilbury, Compton, Clarke, and Rogers, and Mesdames E. Romer, Louise Seeley, F. Wright, and Lindley are announced to take the principal characters in the piece. The Christmas piece for the St. James's Theatre is a dramatic squib, entitled Eighteen Hundred and Sixty Three ' • or, a Glance at Past Sensations, and Certain Connie Revelations of Lady Somebody's Secret. Our readers from this will tuirdand that Lady Audit?* Secret is freely alluded to. Mr. Toole will take the part of Lady Audley, Mr. Paul Bedford that of Wines, and Miss Aare Josephs that of Robert Audley. This piece is from the pen of Mr. H. J. Byron. The music is composed and arranged by Mr. Walleratein. At the Princess's the panto mime is entitled Harlequin Little Tun Teeter; or, the Fine Lady of Banbury Cross and the Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe, and had so many Children ate Didn't Know What to Du. Lady Belle Belle; or, libellant, and his Sertn Magic Men, is the title of Mr. H. J. Byron's new version of the Countess Maori celebrated fairy tsle ' which is to be produced at the idelphi on Boxing-night. In this piece Mr. Clarke, the old favourite at the Strand Theatre, will make his a ce. The scenery and dresses have been preps with great ave. At the Olympia the piece for Christmas is entitled Sense and Sensation; or, the Seven Sisters of Thule. At fiadler's Wells the Christmas opening is entitled The Prince of ' the Peaceful Islands; or, Harlequin, the Magic Pearl. the Centaur, and the Fairy Amason, the burlesque opening being written by Mr. F. G. Cheatham. At the Strand Mr. Byron has chosen the story of Orpheus and Eurydice; or, the Young (Milkman who Charmed the , Rocks, as the subject for a Christmas extravaganza. At the New Royalty, an extravagance by Mr. F. C. Bummed will be produced, entitled Madame Bartlot's Ball ; or, The Chalet in the Valley. At Astley's the pantomime, which is by Mr. Frost, is entitled Harlequin and Prier Bacon ; or, Great Grim John of Gaunt, and the Enchanted Lance of Robin Goodfellow. This piece refers to the love adventures of Geoffrey Chaucer, and military exploit, of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. At the Lyceum there will be &either pantomime nor burlesque. Bel Deninniu continues to excite sullicient attraction.—Press. THE MANCHESTER SHAKSPERE MEMORIAL. A general meeting of the Manchester Shakspere Committee was held on Wednesday afternoon in the Mayor's Parlour, at the Town-hall ; the Maros (Mr. J. M. Bennett) in the chair. Professor Greenwood read the report of the sub-committee, which recommended that sub scriptions should be obtained for the • foundation of two scholarships, to be called "Shakspere scholarships," for the promotion of the study of English literature, inconnec. lion with Owen's College and the Free Grammar School, and to secure a marble bust to be placed in the Tows ' hell ; and further, that • liberal contribution should be made towards the fund now reining for the erection of • monu mental memorial of Shakspere at Stratford-on-Avon. Oo the motion of the Rev. W. Waken, seconded by Mr. Stern, the report was received, and the recommendations contained therein adopted.—The Mayor then introduce) the Mayor of Stratford (Mr. Flower), who met the committee for the purpose of bringing before them the claims of the Stratford committee. Mr. Flower said &committee had been formed in Stratford prior to the formation of the London Shalimar. Committee, for the purpose of erecting a monu ment there to the memory of Shakspere ; sod it was thought by many that the most appropriate place for a memorial was in the town where Shakspere wee born and died. He and his fellow-townsmen had bean forced into • position which they would not willingly have taken. They had received letters from all puts of the kingdom urging on them • course which the town was utterly unable, by itself, to adopt. So far as the local committee was concerned, they bad resolved to obtain an exhibition for their school, where Shakspere was educated, and that being a local affair, they could scarcely expect strangers to subscribe. Theo they were urged on all sides to have • memorial such emwould be fitting to commemorate the 300th anniversary of their great poet ; and as strangers invariably visited Strat ford to see the !slice of Shakspere, there could be no more appropriate site for a monument chosen.

The following letter has been sent by Mr. Bright, LP., to the llarquis of Hartiegtoo " Rochdale, Deo. 17, 1863. "TO THE MARQUIS OF " In the Manchester Examiner and Tines of yesterday I read • letter from you to Mr. Cobden. Mr. Cobden bad pointed oat to you • gross blunder in your runt speech at Haslingden, and in your reply to him you admit the blunder, but make • ludicrous effort to escape by an assault on me. Your charge against Mr. Cobden was that he had said something which Mr. Secretary Seward is reported to have said, and which you, I presume, thought foolish and untrue. You now quote • passage from my speech which you say is ' exactly idea tiosl ' with the idea of Mr. Seward, and you say further that you are extremely glad that Mr. Cobden does not agree with Mr. Seward and with me. What are the facts? Mr. Seward is reported to have said—l know not whether he is correctly reported or not—' that no American citizen is poorer for the war.' What I said was this Notwith standing this terrible struggle, their agriculture, their manufactures, and commerce proceed with an uninterrupted success.' Now what did you say in your Haslingde• speech? You uid this :—' At this moment, I believe, nine tenths of the people of the Northern States are enjoying a greater amount of prosperity than ever they eojoyed before.' . " I think a vary little reflection will convince you that your language is much stronger than mine, and very much stronger than that attributed to Mr. Seward, and that, up to the present moment, you give more extravagant testi mony to the prosperous condition of the Northern States than say one of those whom you have thought proper to condemn. It is true that, afterwards, you enter the region of prophecy, and declare, with • confidence to which I make no pretension when speaking of American questions, that • catastrophe such as the world has never seen must overtake that once flourishing and prosperous country.' My object was to show that, up to this time, all the foretellinp of evil indulged in by the enemies of the United States had proved false. I might, after your Hea -1 lingdeo speech, call you as • strong witness in the case. Time will show the nature and extent of the ' catastrophe' to which you point; but I do not think the terror of an ap proaching commercial panic will shake the resolution of the American people to preserve the integrity of their govern. ment and country, and to make freedom universal over the continent committed to their rule.—l am, respectfully yours. " JOHN BRIGHT. " The Marquis of Martineau, M.P., Chatsworth, Derbyshire." A meeting of the committee for raising subscrip tions on behalf of the memorial to the late William Mul rtudy, R.A., met at Mr. Gambart's Gallery, on Tuesday last, when it was resolved to recommend the subscribers to awry out the memorial on the following plan :—Firstly, to erect a suitable monument over the grave of the artist at Hensel-green ; secondly, to offer a bust of him to the trustees of the National Gallery or of the National Portrait Gallery ; and thirdly, to devote any surplus to the cola blishment of a Maimed/ prize to students. . The Court season at Compiegne breaks up this week, and the imperial circle return to Paris. The Rus sian Ambassador and the Countess de Budberg have lately joined the guests of their Majesties, who appear to be pro. aided with endless amusement both in and out of doors. His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon and the Prince's Clothilde, it is remarked, have not been down to Compi4me this year. The Chevalier Nigra (the Italian Ambassador) is there, and on a late occasion caused a quantity of dowers to be sent from Italy, which, made into bouquets, were placed on the dining-table before each lady. The population of the city of New York was, in 1810, 313,000, and in 1860 it was 820,000 ; thus 500,000 was added to the population in 20 years. The mortality is 900 weekly, about 130 daily, or nearly 50,000 annually ; about two-thirds of whom are children under 5 yews of age. In 1&58, 15,736 children died in New Yak, 14,930 of whom were under 10 years of ago. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAT.—EDINROROH, SATURDAY Yotunuo.—(By Else trio Telegraph .)—A goods train and a ballast train came into collision last night, near Dunning Station, on the Scottish Central Railway. Two surfacemen were killed. The 10.15 train from Edinburgh was detained three hours waiting for the arrival of the northern train. LORD STAMFORD ' S SALE.—The unfortunate course adopted by the FAIL of Stamford at his late sale has brought up:id.himthe On ih rtsu i ltt L . w t hic i. ll we rs a . t least were not Tattersall :negro; t i tter from Mr. R. C. Naylor claiming of them the yearling filly Sloth, for which he had been outbidden by Mr. Ten Bruck, who acted for Lord Stamford Immediately upon re ceipt of this communication Klein. Tattersall forwarded Mr. Naylor's letter to Enville Hall, and on Monday Lord Stamford wrote to them to say that Mr. Naylor was perfectly welcome to the filly, and give an order for her to be delivered up. Messrs. Tatter's'''. difficulties were, however, not yet over, as on Thursday morning they were written to by Messrs. Graham, of Plowdembuildings, Temple, de mending of them, on the part of Viscount St. Vin ' cent, the two horses, Cambwican and Archimedes, at the respective prices of 4,900 and 2,900 guineas, which same were bidden for them by his lordship's agent., Kr. Edwin PUT, who, being the last bond fide bidder, was coasequeotly entitled to the animal'. The letter went on to state that, unless the homes in question were delivered op within four days, legal proceedicgs would be commenced against them for their recovery. Up to the present time Masan. Tatter sall have received no communication from Lord Stamford, and are of coarse ignorant as to what steps he will take in the matter. But as the law of vendor and purchaser is clearly against his lordship's retention of the animals, it is to be hoped, in the present disturbed state of the turf, that there will be no cause for litigation, and that the lota which are claimed will be delivered up to Lord St. Vincent, who will be able to boast of having paid more money on the turf for a two-year-old and • yearling than had ever been known in the annals of racing.—Fidd. YORK GREAT CHRISTMAS HORSE FAlR.—This great annual horse fair commenced on Monday, and will be brought to a close this day (Saturday). Many transactions were effected in the stables on the previous Saturday. There was fully an average supply of hones, but the attendance of buyers w as hardly so large as us ual. Some very good bunters were exhibited, and these met a bride sale at 2C3 to .100 gninau each ; the very beet animals made as much as 4C..) guineas. Of care e horses the show was toler able. Well-bred young with good action made SO s tltl e sititers ; grays or bays, 200 to 300 guineas per pair ; high-steppers, and broken in to double harness, 100 to 300 guineas; active bones suitable for broughams or light carriages, 70 to 120 guise.. and thick-set young bogus for hackney work made 50 to 60 guineas each. For dray horses the demand was only moderate, and prices favoured buyers. Roadsters sod hacks met a liniited de mand ; cobs made 40 to SO guineas each ; cart horses suitable for London work made 301. to 501. ' • nodal horses, for agricultural purposes and mac hine wor k, ranged from 151. to 301. ; two-year-old cart horses, 121. to 151. ; and yearlings, 1111. to 14/. each The fair may be considered over for =parkw classes of animals, but there are inferior lota yet to be disposed of. IRISH HORRE4.—A subject of general interest is mentioned in the report of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland Ireland was formerly famous for its breed of homes, and for the dash and daring of its horsemen. In this respect a marked deterioration has taken place. The subject was brought under the notice of the council at , Kilkenny by Sir Johu Power. The thoroughbred horses j competing for the Coker Challenge Cup were found to be so deficient is all the qualities required that not one of them was fully qualified for the prize. Sir John Power again brought forward the matter at a very full meeting of the council on the 24th of September, when he read letters from noblemen and gondolas°, fully concurring in his statement, that " the superior and useful clams of horses which formerly abounded in Ireland was now nearly extinct." The council appointed • com mittee, to which it was resolved to refer the entire subject, that they may make inquiries and suggest remedies. It has been stated that the deterioration in the breed of horses is beginning to be seriously felt in the cavalry. The French and Russian agents who visit this country to par ches° hones for their cavalry give a considerably higher price than what is allowed for the Queen's service, and coo senintly get the but of the hones. EXTRAORDINARY DOUBLE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN HAILWAY.—Luring the Vadar part of Yesterday the traffic on the Great Northern Railway wu impeded by an extraordinary double accident. About half past ten o'clock on Thursday evening • coal foie was travel hug on the up-line ; when two miles from Owby ths drawing up bar between two of the trucks broke, causing the train to part. The pia buried itself is a slanting po sition in a sleeper, and the hinder part of the train running upon it was thrown off on to the down line. Under the suparistendence of Mr. Dance and • staff from Peterborough, the lines were cleared, sod the traffic. resumed shout 7 o'clock yesterday morning. This had scarcely been effected, however, when another accident more serious than the first occurred. The traffic was being worked ou a single line, between Bythrun: end Corby. Six train bad been nuoceedully pared. and a cattle train was waiting its turn, when s sal tmio, maniog put all the sig sale, dashed into it. The shock was so bemire that many of the cattle were killed, and others jerked out of the truck. ; a drover was injured, and the driver of the real train was also hurt. The damage to the tracks, Le., was very great, sod this 'erica of disasters threw the traffic of the line into the utmost confutes, the trains from the North haring to be pared round by way of Sleafoed and Balton. GREAT FIRS AMONG THE MANCHESTER WAitEHOUSES IN THE CITY. LOSS OF UPWARDS OF 2100,000. The City (in the vicinity of Milk-street and Wood-street, Cheepride) was the scene of a terrible fire last night and this morning. It originated in the warehouse, No. 3, Fe►then-court, Milk-street, a very confined pump running through to Wood-street. The premises were occupied by three firms— basement by Messrs. Bunting and Co., flannel sad woollen merchants ; first floor warehouse rooms by Messrs. Henry and Co., woollen merchants, and the rest of the place by Messrs. Gibson and Co., agents. There appears to be little doubt but it commenced in the basement portions (Messrs. Bunting's) ; for the housekeeper and her servants, who occupy apartments at the top of the building, noticing a kind of smother in the place, went downstairs to ascertain the cease, and on reach ing the landing at the bottom, observed smoke issuing throuth the crevioee in the wainscoting of Masers. Bunting's warehouse. She instantly called the police who at ones saw that the place was on firs, and im mediately hastened to the chief depfit of the Fire Brigade in Watling-street, and called out the engines. Although they were almost immediately put into op.. ration the progress the fire made in the interim was won. derful. Bursting into the spacious warehouse of Messrs. Grant and Co., shirtmakers, and those of Messrs. Morley and Co., Manchester warehousemen, also in Feather's. court and adjoining, the flames spread from floor to floor with perfect lightning rapidity, and within half an hour the whole of these extensive buildings were on firs from the basement to the roof, lighting up the City, the cathedral, and the church spires to an imposing extent. Captain Shaw, the chief of the brigade (whom we ere happy to say is fast recovering from the effects of his late severe accident) on hearing of the devastating character of the fire, instructed his leading officer, Mr. Swanaton, to telegraph for all the available engines front the different stations in London, and very shortly there were from 16 to 18 engines at the fire, including seven powerful steamers, and one connected with Hodges's Distillery. Most of them had their steam up by the time they consequently there was no delay in getting them to work when a supply of water was obtained. The conflagration had by this time extended into five or six warehouses that adjoined. Meurs.Chartes and Thotnas,dealers in fancy goods; Means. Lindsey, Faithful, and Co.. merchants, in Milk street; Messrs. Conch and Ward, merchants ; Messrs. Barrow and Taylor, merchants ; another warehouse of Mean. Morleyaed Co., in Feathers-court; and Messrs. Harrison end Co., hoiden other buildings of a smaller class. B► one o'clock this morning the aspect of the fire was most formidable and the destruction of the whole pile of warehouses between Milk-street and Wood-street was apprehended, while the excitement in the district was immense. The greatest diffi culty which presented itself to the firemen was the intri cate position of the warehouses on fire stacked as it were all in a keap in courts and alleys and abutting on the warehouses in Milk and Woo-1 streets. To each steamer were attached several lengths of hose, and the engine being worked at its fall power, the men eventually got torrents of water to bear on every point of the fire, and after a most laborious task they succeeded in following the fire up till they accomplished its final extinction, and it was not till 8 o'clock this morning that all danger was at an end. The amount of property laid in ruins is sexy great, ex tending beyond 100.0001. The fire has caused a vast amount of sensation in con. mercial circles, and badness in Milk-street and Wood-dad is almost suspended. Fortunately no lives were lost. INCENDIARISN ON THE WOLDS. The crime of inceudiariam seems to have become • mania on the Yorkshire Wolds. Within the last few weeks we have to record no less than seven instances in which the stackvards of respectable farmer have been fired by the midnight prowler, and this week, we regret to add three more cases in which valuable property has been committed to the flames io a similar diabolical manner ; while • fourth stockyard very narrowly escaped by the timely discovery of the plot and the apprehension of the two would•be incendiaries. No wonder, then, that a state of great excitement, or we may even any panic, pre. voila throughout the Wold district, and every night the horizon is scanned with the view of ascertaining whether any lurid glare betokens another outbreak of fire. Many of the principal farmers, we understand, have appointed night watchers for the protection of their property, and some h►ve even gone as far as to discuss the propriety of keeping bloodhounds in every village in order to track the scoundrels who are guilty of these infamous deeds. A writer in our columns two or three weeks ago, in supporting a suggestion of this kind, stated that the employment of bloodhounds put an end to a peculiar species of sheep stealing which prevailed in the Midland counties • few peen ago. He also observed that " the knowledge that such dogs were kept for such a purpose would most probably put a stop to the crime by inspiring the mis creants with a just terror of discovery." The ale of these animate, however, is open to objection, inasmuch as they might seize the innocent just as well as the guilty, and none of us would like to be tackled in any such a manner.—York Hcrald. THE AMATEUR FIREMEN'S CLUIL—Have yon hard of the Amateur Firemen's Club? This is not a club. house wherein viands and politics, fashioas and scandal, are diecuesed. but a small knot of patricians who, presided over by a noble duke, don the fireman's drew and tura out regularly with Captain Shaw's brigade. Duly organised, and with head-quarters at Waling-street, the gentlemen member take their turn at any work prescribed for them, and are said to be most efficient members of the force. The next time von see au engine tearing through the streets, or chance to be present at a fi re, you mar therefore, without exaggeration, sasume one or more of the green-Bated, black-helmeted, busy men to be a swell in dieguise.—///a. leafed Times.
