The arrangements for the approaching gathering of the British Association in Newcastle may now be mid to be complete. Another meeting of the local committee was (says the Newcastle Chronicle) held on Saturday, under the presidency of the Mayor, when the programme of proposed engagements was sub mitted in s. detailed and convenient form. A most attractive and varied bill of fare it presents. Commencing on the 26th inst., the proceedings will extend to the 3rd of the following month, SOD in their endeavour to compress the largest amount of business, compatible with justice to the several subjects, within that period, the executive committee have succeeded to admiration. Not the least interesting feature of the occasion will be a series of gun experiments at Whitley, under the superintendence of the Presi dent. Sir William Armstrong, while among a host of excursions announced are included visits to the exten sive lead mines of W. B. Beaumont, Esq., at Allenhesds. and to the no less important mineral resourcesof the Cleve land-hills. For the reception of members ample pro vision has in all respect, been made. In tcwo there will be a grand eons:art, for which some of the highest musical talent of t h e metropolis has been secured; and apart from the hospitalities which it is expected will be dispensed by the president, Mr. Beaumont, M.P., sod Mr. logham, M.P., have intimated their desire to contribute to the entertainment of our distingtushed strangers. We regret that, owing to • recent domestic bereavement, our other representative, Mr. Headlam, will be prevented from taking that active part in the festivities be would otherwise have done. In say further maturation of the plans that may be necessary, the executive committee will have a useful coadjutor in the person of Mr. Griffith. who acted as assistant secretary at the last meeting of the association at Cambridge ; but the preparations already indicated have been pronounced by that podeman to be at so perfect and satisfactory a character that very little remains to,be accomplished in that direction. Unfortunately, the financial element is still slightly defec tive, bat this essential department will also, no doubt, soon be brought up to the requisite standard. The following is the official progr amme of proceedings : The Local Executive Committee beg to announce that the next meeting of the association will commence on Wednes day, August 26, under the presidency of Sir W.

The King of Prussia having summoned the Crown Prince by telegraph to Glutei% his Royal Highness left for that place on Saturday evening.

The Crown Prince of Prussia, who was tele graphed for to Gastein, arrived there to-day. FRANCE. PARIS, ATIOUBT 10. The Pafrie of this evening states that the Arch duke Maximilian has made his acceptance of the Mexican throne dependent upon the consent of his brother, the Emperor of Austria. _ _ . La France has no doubt that all the Mexican States will ratify the proclamation of the Archduke Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico, as 15 States out of the 18 have already pronounced in favour of French intervention. If the Archduke accepts the throne, France and England will recognise him im mediately, and the other Powers will not delay following their example. La France also declares that the French note, in reply to Prince Gortchakoff, firmly maintains the claims advanced by the three Powers in common, and insists upon the admission of the eight Powers to the Conference. The note is, however, drawn up in a spirit of moderation which allows the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to yield without disadvantage its dignity.. The Emperor is expected to return to St.. Cloud to-day. A PAPAL NUNCIO FOR MEXICO. PARIS, AUGUST 10. Letters received here from Rome state that the Archduke Maximilian has requested the Pope, in the event of his election as Emperor of Mexico, to send a nuncio to that country charged with organising religious affairs.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1863. THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Delta, Captain Week', with the above mails, arrived at Southampton ►t 7 p.m. yesterday evening. She brings 85 puseogers, 4 packages specie, value 4491., 1 hoz jewellery (1001.), 92 packages sundries, and 314 hales raw silk, value 30,0001. sterling. The Delta left Alexandria on the 29th ult., /delta god, and Gibraltar on the 6th inst. During her penises she spoke the following ships :—Tbe Peninsular and Oriental steamship Ripon, steaming to the S.F. ; Peninsular and Oriental steamship EUXiIIS, to the S.E. ; the British barque Elizabeth. standing to the N.W. ; the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Ceylon, steaming to the F. ; the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Poooah, S. ; and the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Cadiz, steaming N. The Lady Eglinton, screw ate:truer, sailors off Caps Trafal gar, got afloat at high tide. The American corvette St. Louis, 19 guns, sailed from Cadiz on the 2ect instant.

Gibraltar ez. changes and freights unaltered. PORTUGAL (nom OUR cnvx ooaanronnorr.) LISBON, Aoccsr L The Queen is fast approaching the time when the hopes of the nation may be realised in the birth of au heir to the throne. Her Majesty enjoys excel lent health, and the happy result is expected in September. The London and Brazilian Bank is now fairly established 113 a Portuguese institution, and, judg ing from the reputation of its manager, there is little doubt that in time it will draw to itself a large amount of business. Such a bank has long been wanted; the machinery of the Bauk of Por tugal is very cumbrous ; only two days a week are set apart for discounts, and the mer cantile community has always complained of the few facilities afforded them by the ample means of the bank. A great deal of safe business which in London would be done at low rates of interest has usually found its way into the bawls of money lenders, who have been in the habit of exact ing extreme rates of interest, to the general detri ment of trade, and sometimes the ruin of men of small capital. A bank trading on the terms of the London and Brazilian Bank supplies a want long felt in Lisbon, and it will give au impetus to business, and reader easy many transactions which under the old regime were almost impossible. PROGRESS OP THE PRESS IN NEW ZEALAND.— There ere now no less than six daily newspapers published in this colony, via, //cal.,/ Time*, the Teleeraph, and the Evening New* in Dunedin ; the Southern Crew cud New Zealander in Auckland ; and the Prey in Christchurch. We are not quiet oertain that, in addition to these, there is not a small daily paper published at the Dunstan diggings. Of these, several are old established journals, but their publication in a daily form is of quite recent date. The newspapers published in New Zealand now number twenty three, besides those published at the Otago diggings, con cerning which we have no accurate knowledge. Auckland has three papers—two daily and one weekly ; Taranaki. two weekly ; Hawke 's Bay, two weekly ; Wellington, two semi-weekly and one published three times a week ; and Wanganui, on. weekly. Nelson has two semi-weekly papers; Marlborough, one weekly ; Canterbury, one daily and two semi-weekly ; Otago, three daily and two weekly ; and Southland, two weekly.—Australian and New Zea land Gazette, August 8. ROYAL FREE ROePITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAM—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the weak ending August 8 was 3,742, of which 1,189 were new CAMS. MUSIC. MR. ALFRED MELLON'S CONCERTS. The interregnum between the close of the opera memos and the commencement of the autumn and winter musical performances will be pleasantly filled up by Mr. Mellon's promenade concerts, the first of which took pleas last night in the Royal Italian Opera-house. The large aegis of oovent-garden Theatre ia formed into one level platform, including the stage and the space formerly appro priated to pit and stalls—the orchestra being erected in the centre. Notwithstanding the extent of the room thus afforded, the audience was so numerous az somewhat to impede the free circulation of the promenade's. The band, consisting of nearly a hundred performers, selected from the orchestras of the Royal Italian Opera and the Musical Society, includes most of our finest solo instrumentalists; and under the spirited and steady conductorship of Mr. Mellon, the performances are all that could be wished. The chief orchestral pieced of last night's programme were Aubees " International March" and Meyerbeees " Exhibi. tics Overture," the Adagio and Scherzo from Beethoven's ninth symphony, Aubees overture to Pra Dascolo, and Weber's " Invitatioc to the Waltz," scored by M. Berlioz. Among the lighter performances were Mr. Mellon's " Dra ' matio College Quadrille," an orchestral selection from / Puriersisi, a violin solo admirably played by Mr. Carrodus, Ind solo ea the fiagsolat by M. Bouniumm, the mandolin by Signor Vailati, and the cornet by Mr. Levy. These pieces were varied by the vocal performances of Iddlle. Carlotta Patti, who sang three or four of those songs which she has been singing everywhere for the last three months, and which were received last night with as loud demonstration, of applause as greeted the first exhibitions of this artist's very peculiar • . ' vocalisation. It will be seen that the programme contained all those elements of variety, the mixture of the classical and the ad captandum, w hich have generally characterised concerts of the " promenade" class. While conceding, however, a large latitude to caterers for so mixed an I audience, we must protest against such an exhibition as that of the (so-called) "comic" fantasia, "Three blind mice," in which three admirable solo performers are placed in a position derogatory alike to themselves and their art. With the growth of musical intelligence which has resulted from the wide-spread facilities for hearing good mane, Mr. Mel lon will find it safer to keep a little in advance than to fall in arras: of the popular standard. It is true last evening's performance was one of the " miscellaneous " nights, but variety and contrast are easily and legitimately obtainable without involving such violent antagonism between the sublime and ridiculous as results from the juxtaposition in the same programme of Beethoven's ninth symphony and such a production as the "comic" fantasia referred to. A "Mozart " night is announced for Thursday, and on Fri day the Creation is to be performed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—MoxDAY.

A large and influential meeting of the agricni- Waste—both landowners and tenant-farmers—of Worms tenhire, was held at the Crown Hotel, Worcester, cc Siam. day afternoon, to consider the subject of steam cultivation. Among those present were Lord North wick, Sir E. A. H. Lechmere, Bart., the Hon. F. Lygon, M.P., E. Holland, Esq., H. F. Vernon, Esq., M.P., R. Padmore, Esq., M. 1., Captain Parker. 114 cr Norbury, Mews. T. G. Curt leo, A. H. Heyde, H. Allsopp, J. D. Onley, T. R. Hill, J. Pickernell, T. Chalk, R. Berkeley, jun , L Bearcroft, IL Lakin, A. Buck, W. Holland, W. Woodhouse, Trinder, lludfield, W. Essex, W. Bentley, Bullock,Wast, Amphlett, J. Turley, Randall, Rogers, Hudson, Creswell, the Rem 0. B. Grey, km On the motion of Sir E. A. H. LEDDHEBE, Bart., Mr. E. HOLLAND, M.P., WY voted to the chair, and having taken his place, he said he would be brief in his remarks, kit all must be so convinced of the advantages of steam cultivation that the only question to be considered in any county or district was, how is it to be applied' He had tried it him self four or five years, and would just as soot think of going back to the flail for thrashing as tu the old appliances for the cultivation of the soil. He hoped that the resolutions to be submitted to the meeting would he carried out, and that those who could not expend a large capital on • steam plough. engine, and machinery, might be enabled to use steam un plemeete through the establishment of a company under the Limited Liability Act, to hire or purchase the necemary ma chinery for use in the county of Worcester. They bad the experience of more than one such society—there was the experience of one at Gloucester, which had expired (or rather lapsed, for he hoped and believed that in course of time it would go on again), after a year and a half's Grier, once, and ita failure was to be attributed to the fact of its being established at • time when all the machinery was new and none perfected. Since that time, however, • very good company had been established at Wakefield; it bad just made a report for its first half year, which wee most satisfactory, in showing that if a society like that is well managed au enormous amount of work may be performed both in and out of the neighbourhood, or at many miles distance from the central depot. They (the Wake fi eld Society) had adopted that system, in which two engines were employed—such a, were seen at work during the late Worcester trials—and the consequence had been that instead of having one heavy engine to culti vate the land, which would have been too large, as far as horse-power is concerned, for application to other farm purposes, they had two engines of smaller horse-power, and were able to employ them in going about the land from farm to farm, thrashing and performing other kinds of work. It had been suggested amongst other things that the society proposed for Worcestershire should commence with two seta of implements, and should adopt the system of double engines. In the Gloucester society one source of failure had been that they had five set, of engines and ploughs, and scarcely ever had more thou two at work at the same time ; consequently they had a large amount of dormant capital, thaw machinery was very liable to fracture, and they had other elements of failure which their experience would enable the agriculturists of Worcestershire to avoid. As to the cost, there could be no doubt that a very great 'eels' took place in working by steam. In his own case, he had twenty working horses before he commenced steam culti vation ; now he had twelve, and was about dispensing with some of them, because he found that the land was hardest to work before the steam plough touched it. As au example of this, he mentioned that in working • field of his for the first time he had found it necessary to use 80The. of steam to the square inch, and now he did the same work on it with 5011.. to 551b5., through the land becoming thoroughly broken up. There was nothing, they all knew, for their stiff clay lend like autumn cultivation ; but he had found that when he attempted autumn cultivation with horses be was stopped by the climate. With the steam plough, however, he had accomplished in one fortnight what would have taken him two mouths without steam. lie did not care for sinuous, and he had been able to save a third the number of his horses. The cost of keeping a horse would, of course, vary with the number kept; but with nine horses it would amount, inclusive of food, value of horse, and wear and tear of gear, to not lees than 26/.1 year ; and if they could save three times that by only keeping six horses is. stead of nine, it would be equal to a saving of 784 or 801. a year. Besides, the nature of clay land was completely altered by the steam plough, so that it might be called • revolutionist. It seemed as if they were able to make the whole of their clay land into a kitchen garden, and realise a mine of wealth which bad never been discovered before. Those who made state ments to the public should, he said, be very careful, and it required adititiood experience from time to tame ; but speaking for himself—and not only for himself, because he had compared notes with Mr. Randall, who had expressed himself similarly—be might calculate that the effect upon such land in four years by steam cultivation would be to make it yield from six bushels to • quarter more per acre, while without steam cultivation, even with much better tillage, it would yield much less. The object the pro. motors of the meeting had io view was that similar advan tages to those which they had reaped should be brought within the reach of the agriculturists of the county ; taking into consideratini that it was almost impossible, generally speaking, to find a farmer with capital to work steam ploughs on his own responsibility, the next thing to coo older was how they should find the way of adopting steam cultivation. The society at Wakefield had answered this for their neighbourhood most successfully, and be believed the movement would meet with the same success in Wor cestershire. (Hear, hear.) At the preliminary meeting a series of resolutions had been agreed upon, and it would now depend upon their support whether the views embodied in them would be carried out. Lord NORTHWICK proposed the first resolution—" That the successful application of steam power in the cultivation of the soil le taw placed beyond doubt, and its great value universally admitted. Means should therefore be taken to secure its employmeut in this county." There was a society forming in London, called the General Steam Cultivation Society, and its secretary told him about ten days ago that he should be present at that meeting. The London so ciety, when two-thirds of the sum they proposed to rain had been obtained, would commence their operations io the various counties in England, and already several counties were waiting (or them to begin. Their object wee, by lot ting or selling steam implements, to promote the adoption of steam, and although it was much larger than theirs could ever hope to be, still it had the same end in view, His lordship quite tweed with what had fallen frog the chairman, sod thought the proposal to begin with two sets of implements only, wise, for all who knee anything of mochinery knew that engines mild not be need too mach, and the expense was going so almost es much when out of as when in use. He wished =cons to tho society. Mr. IL F. VERNON, M.P., seconded the motion, observ ing that he had attended that meeting rather to show his interest in the progress of agriculture in the county than to make a speech. He knew little of agriculture himself, but he sincerely hoped that the prospect held out by Mr. Holland—that ell the clay land in the county would be turned into good garden land—might be realised. He lived on some of the strongest clay land in the county, and he could not help thinking that the advantages to be gained by farmers in his neighbourhood, especially by the application of steam to cultivation, would be much greater than they imagined. He hoped the scheme would be carried out effectually, and would prove an advantage to the truant-farmer. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Sir E.A. H. LECHMERE quite agreed with the proposal fora society to further the iatneluctiou of steam imple ments to the agriculturists of this county. He coognitu lated the promoters of the meeting upon the large attend ance of landowners, especially of tenant-farmers, without whom the meeting would be incomplete. He believed that steam ploughing would be of the greatest benefit to all cottoerord in the cultivation of the lona, and onaecially so as a means of developtug deep drainage, sod bringing about an extension of fields, and he hoped that its adoption would begin a new era in farming in Worceatenhire. He moved a resolution, "That, insomuch as the cost of engines and tackle exceeds the means of must farmers, it is desir able to estabilmh a joint-stock roompiiuy to promote the use of than implements, and thereby • higher system of culti vation." Mr. 14 KIN seconded the motion, which was carried unani mously. Mr. T. G. CURTLER then proposed that a capital of 3,500/. should be raised, in the fist inatauce. in share. of I/. each, to provide two tots of implemeot.. He found that the cost of the implements used by the Wakefield &witty was about 1.2.501. each, with threshing machines. 'l'bey must employ proper piracies to manage the engines, from the west of which many failures had proceeded. They would also want some capital to bear the expense of carry ing them about, and to provide fur these items, and to buy implements, the sum of 3,500 f. was proposed. Tlx object of the society in London to which reference hail been mnde was to let out on hire or sell implements on fair terms, the annual payments being so arranged that the machinery will be paid for in three years. Mr. WFsi seconded the resolution. 11r. BA LDWIN i King's Norton), without wishing to oppose the proposition, thought there was nothing like double-digging the land, and that might be accomplished if a greater amount of attention were given to the !rich labourer—who now went to Amerks to grow corn therefor us—and to the employment of manual labour more gene rally. lf, however, it was desirable to use steam me. chinery, bethought its introduction would meet with more suceese if it were done by a private individual instead of a company. _ . . Mr. CURTLItit did not deplore the emigration to America of the Irish labourer. Ile thought it would be a capital thing if they would all go, and let Eeglishrnee cultivate the soil without being shot. (Laughter.) Ile did not think Mr. Baldwin was far from the mark when he said that a private individual was more likely than a company to make the scheme pay, but sa they could not tied that private individual. they must do the next beet thing, and oarry oat the plan with a company. [TWOPENCE Mr. GUILDLNG, having had some throe or four years at steam cultivation , and tour or bye at steam thrashing , felt perfectly satiation with the result of his experiment. (Hear hear.) As to digging ; whoever would think of go. mg hick to that! He never had any idea of being able to cultivate his Lind cheaper by steam than by horse power, bat be gained in speed, and time was now of the utmost value. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimonalr. Mr. A. H. ROTDR moved the appointment of &provisional °Dimities, theme a prospectus, allot shares, call another meeting, sod prepare rules for the company. Mr. BUCK wooded the motion. Mr. J. G. WATKINS asked if the company would be esta blished under the Limited Liability Act The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative, and said they proposed that it should be conducted oo commercial princi ples, and no shareholder would have precedence of one who was not a shareholder. The resolution ;athen carried unaohnounly. The proosedoge terminated with a vote of thsuike to the chairman. THE ACCIDENT ON THE LYNN AND lILIASTANTON RAILWAY. KING 0 LYNN, Amer!. 10. The inquest was resumed this morning at one o'clock. Valentine, recalled end examined by Mr. Pitcher, said—l have had no control over the lice so engineer to the Lynn and Hiustanton, so far as the permanent way and fences are concerned. It is the duty of the Great Eastern, the working company, to keep it in repair. The vend length of sleepers lead upon lines varies. Upon chair-reads the sleepers are nine feet, upon this road they are eight feet, which I think areemalto tboseon the chair-roads. [The idiom explained the difference between chair-roads and the rails laid on the Hunstanton line.] No aleepere on this line are made of Scotch fir which was a dead tree. They an se good sleepers ad need be pct into a line. He wished to &ire his unqualified denial to a report that any sleepers were laid down of dead wood. A great many trees were blown down in a storm, end many of them wen bought and used by the cootrecton, end he need not say that wood blown down was as good as wood out down. Ward—l complaioed to the contractor of the in sufficiency of the fences, sod upon that complaint the defects were remedied. I did not complain of the inenermiency of the fence at the field of Mr. Bloomfield. I never saw the ditches dry and had I supposed they would have ever I been dry should not have allowed a one rail fence. I. never supposed that iu a marshy country the ditches world De dry. By the Coroner—l never heard of Mr. Hammond having complained of the fence. _ JObn Thompson, of South Wootton, shepherd to Mr. Hammond, said—Mr. Hammond has • considerable quantity of laud next the railway. The fences in my judgment have been fences that would not stand against any kind of stock, either sheep, bullock; or horses. I wmy horses on, but I have the bullocks and sheep. The bullocks walked quite over the fence sod back apin, when I drove them back. I have seen Mr. Bloomfield's bullocks on the line ibis summer, within the last month. By Mr. Edwards--Tbe cattle walk over the ditch and fence aa if it were s daisy. (Laughter.) By the Jory—l have complained to the men at work on the lief% and they said they bad complained to their masters. By Mr . Edwards—They have always attended to anything that was wanted. By the Commer-1 could have pulled the fences down myself. . _ _ Captain Tyler then presented the following report:— . • I have inspected, in the coarse of Saturday evening and this morning, the fences on the Hunstantoo Railway, mid also the carriages which were fractured in the accident on the 3rd of August. I God that No. 51 is the third clam carriage, strutting in the yard at Lynn, which came into collision with • first-clam carriage immediately in front of it, and that this carriage does not appear to have any decayed wood about it, though it is of weak construe. taw. Its front end part of its left side ware Move in, aad many of the seats were displaced lied broken. No. 279, third clan carriage, which lies on its side at the site of the accident, was next behind it in the train, and contains some wood in an advanced state of decay at each end under the body tinting on the buffer plank& The statements differ as to which of thane carriages contained the greatest number of plenums, but I have avast( been more particularly struck with the condition of No. 51 carriage, and the way in which that carriage was broken up, with comparatively little injury to the stronger carriage in front of it with which is came in contact. The experience of railway accidents has amply shown that the moat perilous caws are constantly un attended with loss of life, when either from the strength of the carriages or their position the bodies of tibecerriageoare sot broken up ; end that on the other hand, it is when the bodies of carriages give way that the loss of life and serious injuries are caused to the passengers riding in them. The poorer chimes of passengers are more liable to suffer in such cases for two reasons—fiat, because they ride in carriages of weaker construction ; and secondly , because their carriages are not well padded. It is true that car riages are built to run upon the rails, and are not in tended to come into collision with one another ; but they may be called upon to mist ettraordinary strains at any . moment ; and when this test is brought to hem upon a train, the difference of strength in the carriages is fre quently one of life or death to the passengers who ride in them. It may be well to observe that the axles of No. 51 (the carriage which was first thrown off the line) are lower than those of the other carriages, and that this circunestence appears to have caused that carriage to leave the lime. The esgius mod tender penned over the bullock with no other injury than the fracture of one of the feed ! pipes and a bulge to the ash-pen, and it remained between the wheels of the three first carriages as they pined on it. The two axles of the fourth carriage appear (from the marks on them) to have struck it one after the other, and it afterwards got outside of the rails to the west of the line, sa is evident from the marks on the remaining carriages. The fencing at the aides of this lineconsiste, in parte, of a post-and-rail tepee, with four rails about three feet six inches high, sad with • small ditch to prevent cattle from rubbing against it ; in other parts, of a ditch from six feet six inches to 14 feet wide, from three feet to five feet six inches deep ; in some places dry, and in otters containing water from a few toches to three feet deep. The ditch usually bass low rail on the inside of it, but to some places there is no red, and in others there are two rails. The new fence which iv being constructed by the company consist' of seven wires, supported on iron strung posts and intermediate wood poets, and is an excel lent one. The lowest part of the fence opposite Mr. Bloom field's oocupetioo appear to be 11 feet wide at the top by three feet deep, with • rail nice and a half inches high on the inside. The sides of the ditch are not sufficiently clean and steep. The wire fence which the company are now putting up on this part of the line will make it perfectly safe. The gate referred to by Mr. Royston as that one which be mw • cow jump is 3 feet 5) Urchin high iu the lowest part measured oar the outside, and the cow jumped slightly uphill. As the cattle will jump such gates it would be well either to have them higher or to place • bar over them, so as to give them • minimum height of four feet. I consider myself, and it appear, to have been the opinion of Rime gentlemen who eccompanied me. that • ditch ten or twelve feet wide and four feet deep, with two feet of water in it, with steep sides and in good condition, is • sufficient fence to keep out sheep and cattle. But when the ditch is dry and the sides in bed order, one low rail on the inside is not sufficient protection. The ditches generally reptire cleaning out. mid in many places where the water is low, or the banks low or sloping, some extra protection is required. The present appears to be a very dry season. sod the fences may be considered to be even at their worst ; and 1 think that, taking the above dimes ion, as the minimum of what a sufficient fence ought to be, it would be dedrable to add a second rail on the inside of the ditches, or to afford other tipsily a:WO . ..troy protection is all comes in which these Ilimeusions are sot reached. The quirks which were put in during the construct:ou of the line are now nearly covered with grass and weeds, and should be properly cultivated. I observe that the rate fastenings require to be improved in some pieces, and it dorm sot appear that padlocks have yet Wee supplied to the farmers, though chides and hooks have been placed upon mitt of the pare. Mr. Edward. °indeed permission of the coronet to address the jury. lie went through the evidence, and express rd on leoh.,lf of the compel.) , the greatest regret at the accident and the most pr found commiseration with the sufferers. Ile called the attention of the jury more parti cularly to the fact that the directors of the llunstanton line were their ewe townsmen del neighbours, who had opened the line of railway and hail afforded healthy recreation to hundreds alai thousands. Monday last would be to them • fatal day for the rest of their lives, nod be implored the jury not to send them sway from the court with the iuipu tattoo of blood upon their beads. _ The coroner then summed up, and the jury retired at about • quarter to four o'clock. Ultiniately they re turned • verdict of accidental death of the five per sous, caused by • bullock straying on the line, through the grow negligenoe of the authorities of the Great Eudern ilall trey and their officers— find, by not putting the (mime into • state of safety ; secondly, by not putting the bullocks off the hue •here the socident occurred ; thirdly, by the disgraceful state of the carriages used for the conveyance of the unfortunete persons. The jury also consider that the government inspectors are deserving of integer., for pasting it line so inadequately fenced. The inquest before the borough coroner upon the body of Mr. Devinshas been adjourned until Wednesday. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office, from the Gowen:ion of the Cape of Good Hope, Gibraltar, Malta, Mauritius, Canada, and British Colombia. Despatches were moat to the Governors of Ceyloo, Hoag K•mg and Labor°.
