Thomas Saunders, driver of the pamenger train, said that the white lamp signal was meant for him, and not for the driver of the other engine. The danger signals were np, and Foron ought not to have come along. There was • printed role that an eagles must not go past a signal post when the signal of danger was up. The Coroner nit that It was certainly most improper, if the danger signal wan up, for an eogioe or train to go &leer the line. If that were to be done, signals would be of DO Dn. The Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," accompanied by a rewmroendation that the company should enforce the regulation, foe she guidance of the eogine•driver and other marmite to prevent s similar calamity.

The crew of the ship let go the rope by which the boat was then towing, thinking she would then easily right herself. In this, however, they were mistakes, for the boat bad shipped too much water, and almost immediately turned over. The poor fellows draggled to get • grasp of her ; Hughes and Reedy, being good swimmers, 'succeeded io doing so, though they ware frequently carried away from their hold by the strength el the waves ; but poor Kelly almost immediately seek, sad was seen no mote. The Holes Woodburn meanwhile sailed en, and made no attempt to rescue these poor fellowdfrom the yawning waves, which appeared so ready to swallow them up like grains of duet, Buffettiog the du, and grimly struggliog to bold on to the boat for dear life, these men kept themselves afloat for one hour and a half, until another boat of bobble,,, from which the sad affair had been witeessed, oould mime to their aid—such was the violence of the element.. Their rescuers made gallant effort', however, aid succeeded is dragging Hughes and Reedy into their boat, sod as soon as possible afterwards, lauded them at Newport. Kelly was a steady fellow, and hie loss is deeply felt. He was single, and was twenty-seven rats of age. We are requested to add, that he was domed in moleskin trousers and canvas smock, or " umper."

Mary Aon Donorau, aged 26 4 who described herself as • =t ried womau , residinilat 20, Pratt-attest, Camden-town, was charged before Mr. D'Ey noon rt with being drunk and wilfully damaging a quantity of plants at 10, Bethune-cottages, Own dee-street. St. Pancras, the property of Thomas Sayers. Thomas Sayers said that last night, about 11 o'clock, be saw the prisoner in hie garden. He found that all his p!auts, consieting of geraniums and other plants, had been pulled up, and damage to the amount of about 30s. had been done. The prisoner was a little tipsy. His garden had before been stripped of the plants, and therefore he bad determined to prosecute. The plants had been torn about eery • A witness, residing three doors from Mr. Sayers, said that I she rw the prisoner in the complainant's garden pulling up the planta. Some of the roots she had thrown into the surrounding gardens. The prieGner said that she knew nothing shoot it, and was never at all in the garden. There must be some mistake. Police-constable Richard Solley, 105 8, said be saw the prisoner standing outride the garden of the complainant. The garden then was all right. A short time afterwards he was sent for. and then the garden am stripped. She had thrown the flowers and the potty into the neighbouring gar dens. When he told her what she was charged with, the said she was not aware of what had occurred. The prisoner, in defence. said—l think they are mistaken in charging me. I never saw the man in my life, and do not know him. It is all wrong about me. The complainant said that his garden had before been served in the same way, and he thought it was done out of feeliap of spite. Mr. 12/Eynconrt said the prisoner had done a great deal of damage • and drunkenness was no excuse for such wanton mischief. 'He should floe her 20s. for doing the damage, and 20a. foe the damage ar in default of payment to be imprisoned and 4 , to hard labour in the House of Cor rection for one eale month. The primmer said shad no money, sad was locked up in default. SHOCKING DEATH OP A SIGNALMAN ON THE SONS LOA DON RAILWAY. INQIJRBT.—(THIS DAY.) This afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, Middle sex coroner, held an inquiry at the Three Cups Tavern. Bow, respecting the death of John Peaces, aged 56 years, a signalman on the North London Railway, who was killed under the following shocking circumstances : James Tibbe,a shunter on the North London Railway, maid that on Wednesday last he was on an engine with a passes. per train, at Devon's-road, Bromley. The tiain be I put down its passengers at Bow, at eleven o'clock, and was about being shunted into the carriage shed. DSOINIKI put up the aernaphore sigmi of " danger." The tmin stopped ac cordingly &ad &Gassed ran to turn the points. A signal should have been given t,r witness, who s ho uld bay. said, "All right" to the engine drives to go ou again, but deceased did not give it, and while it was being waited for another engine, driven by • man INIMCI Foxon, came along at the rate of six miles an hour, sad ran over deceased. The danger signals ware dill up, and the line was therefore blocked, but deceased had shown • whit* lamp to Saunders, to intimate that he might some along. Foxon came along, however, quicker than de ceased expected. The engine ran over him, and whom got down and foetid that his legs were lying outside the line. and his body i nside . The engine was 40 y ar d s o ff w h en deceased waved his lamp for it to continue to come up the line. Mr. Beecher's introduction surprised, though it did sot disconcert, that gentleman. He was evidently prepared for some opposition ; but be could hardly have expected that his appearance at the front of the platform would rouse one portion of the audience to • high state of entliusium and cause the other portion to approach almost • state of frenzy. For some time it was doubtful whether the celebrated abolitionist would be allowed to speak; but those who cat near the reverend gentleman and observed his firmly-composed lips and imperturbable demeanour saw at once that it would require something more than noise and spasmodic hisses to cense Mr. Beecher to lose heart. He stood calmly at the edge of the platform, • representation of " Patience smiling at grief," and • smile of sincerity bat tling tacitly but successfully with opposition. One of the two must sooner or later give way, and no one who scruti nised Mr. Beecher's features could imagine that be would be the first to become tired. At last there was a lull ; clergymen and ladies ceased to wave their um brellas and handkerchiefs, the torrent of hisses became less perceptible, and the chairman made another appeal to the meeting for fair.play to Mr. Beecher. His manna that an opportunity would be offered, after Mr. Beecher had concluded his address, to persona who wished to ask the re verend gentleman questions, was not very favourably received, and • series of disturbances ensued. Cries of " Turn him out" were heard in various parts of the hall, and efforts were made to eject some members of the unruly party. When the scuffling had partly subsided, the chairman expressed his determination to preserve order by calling in, if necessary, the aid of the police. This announcement produced something like order, and Mr. Beecher took up the advantage and com menced his address. To note the repeated inter ruptions made to the reverend gentleman would not only be tedious bat unnecessary, as they are mainly recorded in our extended report of the proceedings. These interruptions were incessant —en Irish gentleman (who stood near the platform) and • member of the legal profession being two of the chief actors. The native of the sister isle was exceedingly "inkshus" to know all about " Prisident Lakin's" policy and other matters ; but having • voice very unlike that which Stentor is reputed to have possee.d, his interrogatories did not cause mush annoyance. The came of the legal gentleman was lees ex cusable, and he produced much disturbance. Several "lovers of liberty and free speech" at last ejected this obnoxious individual, and when he reappeared at a later period of the evening be was again thrust out of the room, while • seen prevailed the equal of which has seldom been witnessed in Liverpool. "Three cheers for Jefferson Davis" wee a proposal which once more met with • hearty response from • portion of the audience ; and as the admirers of the Confederate President were loth to cease their expressions of approval, Mr. Beecher com posedly eat down on the low parapet of the platform and awaited • calm, at the same Una apologising to the re. porters for causing them to be so long detained. At one time about • wore of persons were speaking in various parte of the ball, and Mr. Beecher, as • last re source, said that if the meeting would not hear him he would address the reporters. From the gallery were sus pended placards on which the wade " Who is Huey Ward Beecher?" were conspicuous; and, takes all in all, the scene was one of complete disorder. Mr. Beecher repeatedly declared that it was not new to him ; but it was plain that towards the don of his address the rim gentleman was losing his self-possession, and he admitted that his struggle for an hour sad • halt against the prevailing disorder had caused his voice to faiL So far, indeed, had his voice suffered, that he was compelled, in concluding, to declare that he could not answer any questious unless perfect order prevailed. He did reply, in comparative peace, to one or two written interrogatories ; bet the disturbances being renewed, Mr. Beecher sat down. Amidst a continued uproar • vote of thanks was paned to Mr. Beecher, and the meeting broke up in a disorder quite as great as that which marked he commencement. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

In connexion with the collapse of the speculation in this stock there are rumours of a serious character affecting an operator outside the Stock Exchuge, whose transactions may perhaps cause more than one member of the house to be called upon for explana tions by the committee.

MINES.-alllB DAYJ Two o'CLoci. The mining market is rather firm to-day.

Foreign and colonial mining shares are with out variation. Yudanamutana are inquired for. We have received a copy of the prospectus of the Croiser Valley and Port Sladoc Freehold Slate Company (Limited). The activity of the demand for slate is well known, and the present project has the advantage of considerable facilities as regards transport, the quarry which the company proposes to purchase being only six hales distant from a shipping port, to which a railway is in course of construction. The property being extensive, arrange ments have been made to lease a portion of it to other parties. Of the proposed capital of 60,0001. in 6,000 shares of 101. each, with a first issue of 4,000 shares, it appears that three-fourths have already been applied for privately. The purchase money is 15,6001., of which 10,0001. is to be in paid-up shares ; but of these 8,0001. is not to be allotted until the shareholders shall have received a divi dend of 13 per cent. The list will be closed on Friday next. The snood call of 21., making 81. paid, is to be paid on the shares in the Cape Copper Mining Company by the2nd of November. With reference to Wheal Grylls the circular issued last evening by Mr. Peter Watson has the following : Wheal Urylls has not looked so well as now for the lad nips to twelve months.
