The crime charged was certainly one of the foulest order, for it was distinctly alleged that CLARKE had carried off a child who was walking with her sister to a green house where he was employed as a gardener, and in the attempt ►t or the act of committing an in decent sauna had put her to death. It is months ago since the poor child was missed by her parent", and since the father in his distress applied for advice to the magistrates. Indeed it was not until the skull and the whole skeleton were dis covered concealed behind the wall of the green house that any proceedings were instituted. The evidence of the mother, who was called to identify the clothes which were found about the skeleton with those worn by her lost child, was undoubtedly very cogent, and if the identity of CLARKE with the person who carried the child away could have been satisfactorily established he would probably have been committed. But the evidence of identity was extremely weak, and upon this ground the counsel for the Crown was justified in declining to pursue the cue further. But it now appears that this is not the only occasion on which the same man has been charged with indecent assaults upon young children, al though it is the only one in which the consequences PI such assaults have been alleged to be fatal. Indeed, there are no fewer than three distinctcharges against , the same person, and one of the cases is alleged to have occurred in the very same greenhouse near which the body of the poor child HUNTER was dis covered. This is said to have taken place in October, 1861 ; but the last of the three is said to have occurred during the month of May in the present year. The question naturally occurs, bow comes it that these charges have not been inves tigated long ago f According to the evidence pre duced before Mr. BARKER, the magistrate, the man CLARKE actually confessed his guilt to Mr. Rowe, his master, who took down his con fession, and yet no proceedings were taken against him, either by Mr. Rows or by the mother of th. child. Singularly enough, it was not without much reluctance that the Solicitor for the Treasury was prevailed upon to aid in the inquiry with re spect to the death of the child HUNTER. It is surely difficult to understand why the Government should display so much hesitation in such matters —and if Parliament were still sitting it would be interesting to hear from Sir Georgia Gary upon what principle the Government interferes in some criminal cases and not in others. In cona nental states tiler° is a public officer whose duty it is to put the criminal law into operation, bat in this country there is no such officer as a public prosecutor. The facts in the present case prove the defects of our present system. It is idle to suppose that unless the advisers of the Crown had entertained a very strong moral con viction that CLAILKE murdered the girl HUNTER they would have instituted proceedings for in decent assaults committed more than two years ago. And yet it is equally clear that if this con viction is well founded, and if the prisoner had been prosecuted and convicted of the minor offences, he would not have been in a position to commit the greater crime. It is perfectly true that the parents of the girls who were assaulted might have persisted in their accusation, and might have brought him before the magistrate. But people in the lower ranks of life cannot be expected to take so much trouble ; and even those in the higher ranks are too glad to relieve themselves from the nuisance of having to appear in a court of justice. The only remedy, therefore, for the present unsatisfactory state of things is the appointment of a public officer whose duty it should b 4 to insist upon charges being pressed against offenders. The chance of punishment should not be made to depend upon whether a complainant happens to be goodnatured and apa thetic or is inspired with a stern sense of public duty. If any such officer as this bad existed it is probable that -the poor girl If crisrer might still have been alive, and that no question would have arisen as to whether the man CLARKE committed the alleged crime. But as matters at present stand it is difficult to a•oertain the principles upon which the Govern ment interferes in such cases. It is scarcely pos sible to suppose that they have laid down the absurd rule that they will not interfere until the prisoner has been committed. For it is obvious that it is qnite as important for some competent person to fnrnish aid and counsel in the collection of evidence as in the conduct of tlis 1 trial before the grand and the petty jury. Again, it is scarcely possible to suppose that the Government are to wait until their attention is aroused by articles in the daily papers before they think it necessary to intervene. Those who have been wronged are entitled to the protection of the Government, and one of the best modes of furnishing protection is by inflicting punishment upon those wh o have violated the law. A n d t o this protection eve r y p erson is entitled who con- , lIIIMINNeem THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVEN ING, AUGUST 4, 1883. tributes toward the support of the Government. As has been already stated, the only way in which this result can be attained is by the appointment of a public prosecutor. But we are not sanguine that any such plan will be adopted. The present BUMS SiCRISTARY is too weak to carry any measure of reform, however moderate, and the pro bability is that he would vehemently oppose such a change, as he has already opposed all attempts to establish a Coui t of Criminal Appeal. It is difficult to determine which is the more im portant of the two. By the want of such a court • weak Minister is compelled to release the most atrocious criminals at the Ca of an excited rabble; by the want of • public prosecutor, men guilty of , the most atrocious crimes, instead of being at once placed in the dock, are permitted to continue un checked in their c..reer of vice and JAPAN. The Bombay Chuttie of July 4 says : The telegram received from Galls four days ago, giving the latest intelligence from Japan, mentions a rumour that& third indulgence of eighteen days had been granted to the Tycoon„ for complying with the ultim►tum presented by the British Charge d'Affaires—at all events the latest deices state that no ►ctive hostilities had been entered upon. On the other hand, it is rumoured that native preparation for war goes on briskly at Nagasaki. Whether all this delay bodes anything like a peaceful settlement of our differences with the Tycoon, it would be rather difficult to say, but all that has yet taken place only makes more evident the dislike of these barbarians to have intercourse with us, and that the treaty of Lord Elgin was a blunder and a mistake. Every item of accurate intelligenee from Japan shows reluctance on the pot of the people to have friendly relations with foreigners, and the wisdom of forcing ourselves upon the Japanese in such circumstances is not merely doubtful ; it has been too clearly proved to be disastrous. (atom's TILZOILLMIL) THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, AUGUST 4. The Polish leader Wierzbicki was attacked by an overwhelming force near Kaniawola on the 27th, but managed to retreat with the loss of six men. Wierzbicki himself was slightly wounded. Intelligence received here from Warsaw states that the ill-treatment of the Polish prisoners con fined in the citadel continues. Proudzyuski has become insane from flogging. Engagements between the insurgents and the Russians took place at Seyny, in the government of Augustowo, on the 25th tilt., ►nd at Radzymin, near Warsaw, on the 30th tilt., in both of which the insurgents were victorious. _ BERLIN, Auousr 4. . Intelligence received here from Warsaw to the 2nd Mat. says : "Rumours are current since yesterday that an insurrection will break out here on the 9th inst. " The town captain, in consequence, has warned the people not to be led away to make demonstra tions by the endeavours of Russian agents. "The National Government will inform the in habitants when the right time for 'insurrection shall have arrived." ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA AT GASTEIN. QASTEIN. Aucion 3. The Emperor of Austria reached this place yes terday evening. His Imperial Majesty was immediately visited by the King of Prussia, accompanied by General von ManteuffeL The two sovereigns had a abort interview. The Emperor, accompanied by the Archduke Ludwig, returned the King's visit in the course of the evening. IL GuEroult, of the opinion Nationale, pro nounces against the occupation in an article which derives additional authority from the fact of his being one of the new deputies for Paris. He says forcibly that if, as it seems, the army did not go to Mexico for the purpose of obtaining legiti mate redress for wrongs to French subjects, but with the further object of "establishing a regular government and a durable regime, nothing what ever is yet done ; everything is in perspective, and we have scarcely made the first step in a lung diffi cult path, studded with difficultiee, and possibly leading to great dangers which we have gratuitously gone in search of." To hold a country four times as large as France, atii accustomed to p►onun csamenfos, M. Guiroult eitimates that a permanent army of from 60,000 to 80,000 men will be requisite. Who is to furnish these men 1 Even admitting the possibility of a Mexican army with a French staff, the organisation of such a force must be a work of time. The provisional government now patched up cannot be perpetual. Some attempt must be made to constitute a definitive government, and that under the circumstances is a work of immense difficulty. M. Gudroult, who has been in Mexico, bears the curious testimony that " universal suffrage is not unknown there ; but its practice is remarkable." He has himself seen a general send his aide-de-camp to vote on behalf of a whole district of which he had constituted himself the - representative. This is a great simplification of the system which has been long practised in France. Whether an Austrian Archduke, or any other can didate utterly unknown to and utterly indifferent to the populations, shall be elected under French protection, it is clear that his authority will re quire, for a very long time at least, the aid of the power which created him. He comments with felicity on the contradiction between Marshal Forey'a proclamation declaring in favour of reli gious liberty and the fact that the Archbishop of Mexico is one of his triumvirate. The clergy in Mexico are notoriously intolerant. Even in France, where for seventy-four years equality of worship has been the law, the bishops have never recog nised the principle of religious liberty. The Pope himself protests against it, and it is not to be expected that the Mexican clergy will admit the principle to please the French Emperor. Hence arises an inextricable di iemma. The French government in Mexico must either repudiate the clerical party, which is the only one from whom it derives support, or it must create and countenance a government altogether repugnant to one of the most essential principles of 'B9. In short, as M. Gudroult says, in a compendious sentence which will make its mark—" We have reproduced the Roman question on the other side of the Atlantic and 2,000 leagues off from our frontiers." An ag gravating feature of this disastrous enterprise is that the Mexican clergy is by many degrees less moral and enlightened than the French clergy. M. Gudroult ridicules the idea of the occupation being over in " five " years, and says that, seeing how little France has done in Algeria during thirty years, it is likely that it will do less to assimilate the Mexicans in "fifty." He proposes to return to the subject. The Bourse is better than it has been for some time. Rent. rose 15c. for cash and 25c. for account, closing at 66fr. 85c. and 67fr. Mobilier rose Bfr. 75c. In railways there was little change. MURDER OIL TRAVELLER IN SWITZERLAND. (zzoTzz's zxruse.) BERNE, JULY 31. A murder took place here last week, which, for tuoatsly, is to be reckoned among the rarities in our peace ful Swiss valleys. The occurrence of such an outrage, how ever, has filled men's minds with indignation and horror. A traveller from Hanover, Herm►nn Quangoll, coun cillor of the Tribunal at Hiliesheim, left Zinal, in the valley of Anniviere, on the morning of the 23rd. He was accompanied by the guide, Baptiste Petra, and intended to cross the Col de Torrent to Evolena. After they bad pawed the Col, about noon, Petra drew the attention of the traveller to • heap of stones, thrown up in the torte of • breast-work by the was side, which had not occupied that position • few days before. Some steps farther on lay • powder horn and some bul lets. The guide expressed apprehension, but the tra veller treated his fears with derision. At this moment a shot was fired from behind the atone-heap, The bullet struck the councillor io the arm and grazed Petre's breast, another bullet immediately after shattering the letter's arm. The traveller ran down the mountain to Erolena as fast as his wound would permit, followed, says the guide, by two or three move shots. One of the robbers then came up to the guide and took from him the traveller's knapsack, behaving, however, with some humanity to him self and doing him no further injury. The body of the no fortunate councillor wee found the next morning pierced by three bullets and robbed of all valuables. A general hunt after the robbers took place, resulting in the capture of four out of the six who, according to the guide, were concerned in the attack. The prisoners are natives of this canton. Five of the robbers belong to the same family, one of them having already served years in • convict chain gang, and subsequently tam to the moun tains as • poacher. The arrest of the other two malefactors is expected shortly. THE KING or Payeau.—Chistein, where the King of Prussia is now staying, is a small town in the ancient molt bishopric of Salzburg, situated on the frostier of the German Tyrol, at a short distarted from Ischl. The King will leave that place about the mid Ile of the month for Baden-Baden, sod return to Berlin on the 25th. The Prince Royal arrived at Berlin on the evening of the 30th ult., but returned to Puttbus the following evening. CONFISCATION IN ItOSSIA.—The Cologne Gazette bas the followieg :—"The following fact will show the manner in which the Russian authorities proceed in Lithuania. Count Komar, one of the richest landowners in that country, and formerly colonel in the Russian Guard, has long resided with his family at Nice. His son, aged 16, was pursuing his studies at the university of Wilna, under the guardianship of his uncle. In April last the lad left Wilma to join the insurgent., and at the end of a few weeks fell into the hands of the Russians. The father is now made to suffer for the conduct of his sou. All the estates of Count Komar, particularly his principal domain of Rogowek, hays been pillaged and put under sequestration." A letter from St. Petersburg of the 27th ult., in the Nurd, says :—" The Emperor Alexander left yesterday for Finland. He goes by sea direct to Helsingfora, whence he will proceed by the new railway to Tawaathua. His Mejr•ty, on returning, is to visit the fortifications of Bwea. berg, and will arrive here in about ten days. The men is still at Tmrskoe-Silo, not having removed to Peterboff on account of the state of health of the Empress, which esquires great care." A. communication from Ostend states that Count d'Hasina de Moerkirk, aide-de-camp and grand equerry to the King of the Belgians, had arrived there to prepare the palace for the reception of the royal family, who are ex pected on the Bth instant, and the King himself a few days later. AMEILICAN Naws.—The New York correspondent 4 the Tines, who is evidently ripening fast, actually wrote yesterday that • braggart artiste in the New York Herald, alleging " that the 300,000 fresh troops celled for under the present draught are not designed for service in the South, but are to be drilled and held in reserve against the , contingency of a war with Great Britain," was " semi- , official." There n not the arouse of ignoranee for this statement. As the Globe of last night remarks, "The statement that the New York Herald had announced 'semi. officially' that the 300,000 cooscripts were required for • war with England, is not worthy of Notice. The New York Herald is not • semi-official organ. The MIN journal on commends the patching up of the Uniou in order that war may be made on foreign enemies, L that semiofficial?" FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LYNN AND HUNSTANTON RAILWAY. LYNN. TUlteDeT IfOients,,. A fearful accident occurred last night on the above line of railway to a special excursion train, retorting to Wisbech rid Lynn, which ended fatally to at least five persons, besides a number of wounded. The accident took place only a few miles from the Norfolk sat of his loy a l Ilighaese the Prince of Wales. This is about the fires serious accident that has ooeurred on the Great Eldora Railway system, or at least this part of it. The greatest alarm, of course, prevailed throughout the night in Line ; but the following, particular', which weee gleaned on the spot, may be relied on : The train numbered about fifteen carriages, oontaining about five or gig hundred persons, ►nd it left the now rising watering.place, Hanstanton, at about eight o'clock, soother train of about the same size having left about II minutes before, The train, it is said, was going at a steady p a p not more than 20 miles an hour, and nothing happeo g g till it wee within three miles or so of Lynn, when a bullock, said to belong to Mr. Bloomfield, of Wootton, got over the fence on to the line. It is presumed that the engine -driver either w it, or else had Dot aufficieet time to tarn off the steam. The engine knocked it does, sod to use the graphic words of one of the men, " jumped over" the carcase, alighting on the lice again. How the rest of the terrible accident occurred can hardly be described. A gentleman, who wae riding in the first carriage that got off the line, is brother-ia.law to the Lynn utatioo•master, and he says that he remarked to a lady " We are off the line, I know by these bumps—don't be alarmed." He then felt the carriage going over and a terrible crash. The end of the next, a thirdclam carriage, was completely smashed in, the hindermost part of the first-class carriage enteriog it ; the next carriage was thrown right on to is ride and the following two appear to be completely smashed. The shrieks and cries were most heart rending. Those of the passengers who were not hurt assisted in the most praiseworthy manner to recover the bodies of the wouodcd and dead from the debra of the broken carriages, whilst the engine immediately went on to Lynn for medical aid. Dn. Black, Smyth, Kendall, and Woodward were soon in attendance, and on their arrival at the wen* of the disaster a fearful sight met their view. The wounded, more or less number. iag about 20, were placed in the carriages and conveyed to Lynn at once, where some of them were seat on stretchers to the Lynn and West Norfolk Hospital, the others being taken to their homes. The most serious of the wounded came was that of Mrs. Laird, the wife at Richard Laird, builder of this town. She was found to have received a severe fracture of the skull, and, it was feared, concussion of the brain. Ooe of the medical gentle. men Informed the reporter this morning that there was bat little hope of her surviving. Several others had to have some of their limbs amputated at once. Fire dead bodies had been recovered from the ruins when the reporter left, only two of which bad been identified, riz., Mr. Richard Laird, builder, of Lynn, and a Mrs. Clark, of Brandon, Norfolk. The other bodies were those of females, two of them being young-looking createres, very respectably dressed. They were all five laid in a row 01) the green award, sodas the moonlight's soft rays fail es the distorted fetters and mangled remains it was indeed an awful sight, whilst the friends flocked round, and tried to recognise their features. As the accident occurred in the parish of Gaywood, the bodies were placed in the break, and conveyed to the L►ywood.gate house, and thence to the Ship Inn, to await a coroner's inquest. It is somewhat singular that the train had passed over the bullock some hundred yards before the catastrophe occurred, and the line appeared to be uninjured. An inquest will be opened before T. M. Wilkie, Esq., at the Ship lon this afternoon. Qourt. OSBORNE, AUGUST 3. The Queen and royal family walked in the groued. this morning. The Duke of Newcastle had an audience of the Queen and has left Osborne.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Colooial•offioe from the Governors of the North American provinces and Bermuda. Despatches were tent to the Governors of Gibraltar, Malta, Ceylon, Hong Kong, and Labuan. THE HEALTH OP THE PRINCESS OP WALES. Much, and indeed unnecesaary, importance (ob serves the Malting Post) has been given to the indispo sition of the Princes, of Wales in abandoning the intended visit with her husband to Halifax. The Princess of Wales is in the possession of good general health, and in recom mending her to abstain from visiting Halifax her royal higlineas's advisers have only sought to save her from over exertion, which it is now desirable for her not to incur. DITARTURI OF HIM bELJEFFY POE GRIMANY.— Arrangetnea's were yesterday commenced at Woolwich (says the Times) for the embarkation of the Queen front the Royal Arsenal Pier, Woolwich. The landing.place is ordered to be carpeted and arranged simply as on the embarkation of any personage of distinction, it being her Majesty's desire, as on the last occasion, to dispense with all ceremonial. The Nottingham Daily Guardian gives currency to s rumour that the Prince a Wiles bee purchased the noble mansion sad estates of Ilswsteed. His Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglio has left town for a few weeks' leave on the Continent. The Duke of Wellington and a select party of friends, including Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Lord Chief Justice of England, leave town shortly for Scotland. It is mid that the duke has taken, for a term of years, Glea borrodale Castle and the extensive shootings adjacent. The Duke of Devonshire and Lady Louisa Cavendish arrived at Holkar Hall, near Miloethorpe, a few days since from town. The mortal remains of the late Marquis of Nor miaby have been removed from Hamilton Lodge, Kensing toniove, to Ifulgrave Castle, near Whitby, Yorkshire. The funeral takes place to-morrow. The Marquis of Sligo left town at the close of the past week for Westport Home, his lordship's seat in Ireland. The Earl Russell, accompanied by the countess sad fatally, is expected to leave Pembroke Lodge, Rich mood Park, today, for the Countess de Flahsult's resi de/we ma the banks of the Tay, in &Allied, which residence the noble earl has taken for the autumn.

The Archimandrita Nike has, we bear, arrived in England. from Constantinople, and is accompanied by his chaplain and secretary. This eminent ecclesiastic of the Greek church is staying at the Coburg Hotel, Charles street, Grosvenor square. His excellency honoured the Bishop of London with his promos at a garden party at Fulham Palace on Saturday last, sad will, we believe, also bs entartaiasd by his lordship at dialler this week. TOILETTE SERVICES FOR THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OP WALES. Two porcelain toilette services, prepared at the special order of the Prince of Wales, and destined for the use of his Royal Highness sad his bride at Marlborough Home and Sandringham Hall respectively, are now on view at Mews. Daniell's. of New Boodetreet. The pattern is remarkably chaste sod simple—indeed, in the cam of the service nude for the Prince the design is chiefly charac terised by ea absence of ornament ; while in both, the ex - colleen* of workmanship for which Mr. Draiell's good' bane obtained • world-wide repute is strikingly evident. The jugs sad Maim and dishes and et ceterer almost innumerable of which the Prince's service is com posed consist of pure white porcelain were, with a series of gold borders, the only decoration upon each piece being the nomogram "A.

CAPTURE OF NANA SABIB We have already published a telegraphic sum mary of news from Bombay to July 9, and Calcutta July 29. The following details respecting the capture of a man at Ajmere, who is generally believed to be Nana Sahib, will be read with interest. Major A. G. Davidson, deputy-commissioner of Ajmere, thus officially reports the capture : TO ERZ CHIEF SECRETARY TOGOVEREMENT, BOMBAY. Dated *junta, Juin 25, 1863. . _ have the honour to inform you that on the 22nd instant a native officer of the Bth Bombay Native Infantry, by name Dwarka Tewarie, brought me your letter, No. 113. of April 27, 1863, to the address of the Political Agent, Jyepoor, and gave me such information regarding the object with which it had been written, that I thought myself justi fied in opening it, ,and having satisfied myself that he was acting under Mr. Forjett'e orders sad with your sanction, I rendered all the assistance in my power, and had the satisfaction of capturing the persons indicated by the in formers, Dwarka Tewarie and Gyapershad ; and from their statements, which have been confirmed by Mr. Forfeit's detectives, who accompanied them, as also from comparison with the descriptive roll furnished by government, and a statement made by • sergeant-major of the Royal Artillery, stationed at Noweerabad, who was formerly in the 11th Dragoons, and constantly raw the Nana at Meerut, I have not the slightest doubt whatever that the prisoner now in the Ajmer* Magazine, under • European guard of her Majesty's 28th Regiment, is the Nana Dhooodoo Punt. One of his companions is stated by the informers to be Naroo Pant Bhalla Bhut, also entered in the descriptive roll. The third parson is a blind Brahmin, made use of by the Nana to conceal his real, and to confirm him in his assumed, character. There are two striking marks on the person of the pri soner supposed to be the Nana, one of which is not entered in his descriptive roll : this is a grooved soar under the hole pierced in his right ear, and the other is a scar of (as the civil surgeon certifies) either a lancet cut, or a cot of a very fine sharp-pointed bistoury, about an inch and a half in length, and slightly oblique ; and, indeed, the prisoner cor responds in nearly every particular with the description given in the roll, except that his hair is white, he has loot two front teeth, and his cheeks are not so full as they were six yearn ago.— I have, &c., A. G. Gammon, Commissioner. The correspondent of the Times of India, writing from Nusaeerabad on the 26th of June, says : I send you a piece of news, which will afford unmitigated pleasure to all your readers. The infamous Nana Sahib is a prisoner at Ajmere. The story, as Ihear it, is this :—The part, consisted of five. Two are said to be spies, who were sent by your Mr. Forjett from Bombay two months ago, and who have steadily stuck to their man ever since, but never have had the oppor tunity of being near an English station till now. The other two ere said to be menials, who knew nothing of whom they were attending. At first it was intended to surround the temple with troops, but it was feared that any move might create alarm, and too much praise cannot be given to the small and gallant band that executed their work so boldly and so well, and it will be • proud thought to Lieutenant Brodigan, whilst memory lives, that his *aa the avenging hand fated to lay hold of this fiend in human shape. A correspondent, writing from Neemuch on the 29th, says : The mark' be bears identify him in every respect. There is no doubt that it is the "genuine article" this time, and several people, both European and native, have recognised the scoundrel. He passers, friend. and sympathisers every where (according to his own statement), and had been pro. mimed aid through all the native states be had passed, in the event of another " rising," which be hoped to bring about in conjunction with Tantia Topee, who, he states is waiting for him near Barnes: ; Saloon,ber (the bole of operations) and its environs already controing 5,000 men, including many Bengal sepoys, ready to turn on Noaseershad and Nesmuch. A full company of the 28th has been specially sent from Nusseerabad to "attend" upon the Nana. Regarding Tantia Topee, be declares that the wrong man was hung! Although the Nana had no time to tamper with Rajpootana, life and property are anything bat safe, and the Bombay letter poet was quietly looted on the 9th instant, five miles from this, with perfect impunity. When wig this disgraceful state of thinp be put an end to? A telegram dated Neemuch, Juue 30, says : " Nana Sahib was captured at Ajmere by Major Davidson. A wide-apread conspiracy is indicated by his papers. An impostor, calling himself Tantia Topee, is at Salumba, with 5,000 Bengal sepoys." The following are the particulars of the fall of Herat, as given by the Cabool correspondent of the Delhi Gazette : Herat was stormed and taken by the Ameer on the 6th Zilbij (28th May). As the water of the ditch of Herat bad ►lready been drained out and two mines bad been prepared by Share Allee Khan's troops near the walls of the city, early in the morn ing of the above date the men of Share Attu Khan went and fired the mine ; the moment the mines had taken fire Sirdar Shere Albs Khan, as previously arranged, ordered the bugle to be sounded. On thin, two battalions with grass loads marched up and filled up the ditch.

The Ameer, seeing fthaeawas Khan coming with Shen Altai Khan. got up from We place, embraced bim and kissed him, and then spoke to him thus :—" Do not be afraid of anything ; you are welcome to have either (Au nun or Jellalabad. I am proud to have such a brave son as you under me." A telegram from Lahore, dated 4th July, Mateo that authentic intelligence has been received of Dodd Mahomed's death. The most favourable accounts are received from every part of the country regarding the fall of rain and the progress of agricultural labours. The general health of the country is not at present good. His Highness the Imaum of Muscat has sent an agent to Bombay to complete the arrangements proposed by Mr. Mansfield, commissioner of SLinde, for extending telegraphic communication on the Persian Gulf. Major-General J. A. Bristow died at Murree on the 9th June, in consequence of a fall from his horse on the 6th idem. The following intelligence is from the Calcutta Eng/Why/inn, under date June 29 : We are glad to state that the steamship Siml►, about which some fears were being entertained, maul ber moorings at Garden Reach this day at noon (eight days from Madras!.

(nom oas owl ooaaasroirourr.) PARK MONDAY EVENING. The following paragraph in the France, if true, is of first rate importance : Our London correspondent informs us that the Eoglisli cabinet, which had at first adhered to the project of an identical note in anew, r to Russia, now hesitates to commit itself to that coons. The Queen's government thinks that in the present state of circumstances it is desirable to give Russia time to reflect without forcing her to give ► new answer immediately. U this news should be confirmed, it would give an entirely new aspect to the Polish question ; and the consequence might be that an entire stop would be put to the diplomatic conversation between the three powers and Russia. Here we have shadowed forth the prospect of a sudden rupture of the famous understanding be tween the three powers which we have been so long assured was being drawn closer and closer every day. I am disposed to think that there is some foundation for the news, and for this reason, that it is stated in other quarters that the Emperor Napoleon, not satisfied with the wonderful unani mity of the three powers as to the requisitions to be made to Russia, wanted to come to a prelimi nary understanding as to what was to be doue if perchance Russia should refuse to comply with them. There is the true and logical touchstone of the unanimity, and that test it will not bear. The diplomatists who represent the three powers in the paper war are quite agreed in their desire to succeed ; but if paper pellets fail, as they will do in all probability, the issues at stake are so tre mendous that harmonious action would become impossible without an infinitely more complete un derstanding than prevails at present. The Temps mentions • circumstance which strengthens the inference deducible from the quo tation in yesterday's Moniker of the article in the Deutschland—viz., that the supposition prevalent in these latter days of Prussia having become a convert to the views of the three powers with regard to Poland was altogether • mistake. This rumour, you may remember, had its origin in the feudal organ the Kreuter Zeitung ; and it has since been contradicted by another journal under the especial patronage of M. de Bismark, which says, with fatuous haughtiness, that Prussia is the arbiter of Europe and a power which seeks no alliances but waits to be solicited. Now, accord ing to the information of the Temps, the article in the Kreuter Zeitung was simply an intrigue of the feudal party, which feigned an approximation to wards England for the sole purpose of ousting Count de Bernstorff from the London embassy and replacing him by a man more devoted to the ooterie which now rules in Berlin. Count de Bernstorff, although not accounted • liberal, has acquired, from his long residence in London, con stitutional leanings which are abhorrent to M. de Bismark and his friends. If it were not for the fear of a war with Russia, which throws every other question into the shade, the French doings in Mexico would certainly occupy a front rank in political speculations. As it is, Mexican news, dressed up for parade purposes, and doled out, in its objectionable features, by instal ments does not altogether escape comment. A journal favourable to the occupation—the Nation— says : The French regimenta which are to remain in Mexico will be numbered in duplicate. There will be in that oouotry and io France two corps bearing the same number. The object of this measure is to prevent any diaorgaaisation of the army, and it moms to indicate that the occupation will be of long duration—it is said, five yews. The French re gimeota detached to serve in Mexico will be considered as being in the service of the Mexican government, and will be paid by it. For the formation of those regiments men will be taken now forming part of the expeditionary corps, and who may be disposed to contract an engagement for five years, so that those detached corps will be, as it were, oomposed of volunteers. The above paragraph draws forth the following observations from the Temps : We are greatly astonished to find such news accepted by the Nation. The French army is one essentially national, and numbers no mercenaries. It is an eesential rule of the French army that no orm of its members can be let out either gratuitously or for hire to any foreign government. After Ifel we had an army of occupation in Spain ; at this moment we have a similar army in Rome ; but it never entered into anyone's heed to say that either of these armies was in the service of Spain or of the Pope. What the /lotion might have gild is that there is an intention to inflict upon the Yezieens a war contribution to pay for our occupation. Such a project is, in fact, imputed to our goverameat. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The deed bodies have all been recognised, and are MI follows :—Mr. Richard Laird, builder, Lynn ; Mrs. Self, wife of Mr. Self, jun., Lynn ; Mrs. Brown, wife of Mr. W. Brown, builder, Lynn ; Mn. Clark. of Brenda' ; and Mrs. Palmer, of Walpole. Captain Dennis, of Unice. street, had died from injuries that he received, and little hopes are indulged that Mrs. Laird will survive. The sum. ber of those who have received injuries is greater than was at first supposed. SERIOUS PA ILWAY COLLISION AT BLACKPOOL. About half-put three o'clock yesterday afternoon, a collision of a very alarming nature took place on the branch line between the Poulton and Blackpool stations of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, and which, though not attended with • fatal result to anyone, oocasioned severe contusions to Revered passengers. The breach line is a single one, and it is customary when a train lessee either the Poulton or the Blackpool station to telegraph the departure of the trains from station to station.

The fora of the collision shattered the buffers of both engines, end did considerable damage to their machinery. Sev eral of the passengers in the fore part of each train wee thrown from their mate by the concussion, but the prin cipal injuries were received by the passengers in the excur sion train. Of these some eight or ten were more or Imo injured ; though fortunately the accident is Dot likely to be attended with • fatal reau:t in any case. A little boy was severely cut on the forehead, and two or three female, were contused about the heed, one of the women haring received • severe laceration of the left eye. The most serious injury was received by one of the male passengers. This person had several of his teeth knocked out, his upper lip severed in twain, and his lower jaw injured. Several other persons received minor injuries. As quickly as pos. Bible, the injured persons were removed from the train, and their injuries were promptly attended to. It is ex pected that all the nifferen will be able to return home in • few days. SUICIDE THROUGH BODILY AFFLICTION. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the Lendou Hospital respecting the death of Michael Long, aged 52 years, • brass finisher reeding at Upper Chapman street, St. George's-in-the-last, who committed suicide under the following painful circumstances.

From an early Dour the streets were full of them ; and bow so many of them were to get away, even in these days of facilities for travelling, appeared a mystery. The Loudon-bridge and Victoria sta.ions were literally taken by storm by the Odd Fellows—only "odd" in nue sense, for most of them had their wives and families with them, and so immense quantity of luggage in the shape of re freehnients to sustain them during the day. Judging from the appearance the Manchester Unity presented this morn ing. the prospect. of omi/rears highly favourable.
