The railway company's superintendent himself has stated, in the course of his evidence, that he does not con sider the stock of locomotives sufficient for their ordinary traffic, and yet, as the jury have already noticed, no in crease was made for she greatly increased traffic during the Chester race., and to this deficiency of locomotive power is to be mainly attributed the lamentable catastrophe that has happened. The jury are decidedly of opinion that the management or the railway in question is defective and M- I efficient, thereby endangering the safety of the public. In conclusion, the jury recommend that, in order to guard against the recurrence of a similar accident, there should be an authorised servant of the company stationed at each end of the Sutton Tunnel so as to signal the trains, and thereby prevent two trains being in the tunnel on the same line at one time. They consider also that the carriages of the railway company having to pas! through a tunnel of such a length u the Sutton Tunnel should be furnished with lights, and they desire also to call attention to the short ness of the intervals allowed for the trains following each other on the same line from the terminus and intermediate stations, which appears to them to be attended with risk, and to express their opinion that the intervals should there fore be increased." SPORTING. RAIL WA Y& MONEY MARKET. [THREEPENCE, _ justment of the English and domestic debt Mad* by the legislature has been accompanied by all the measures necessary to carry it into full effect, and to increase the produce of the maritime custom-houses, so that while 2.5 per cent. of their present produce of some 6,000,000d015, will about provide for the payment of the divi dends, the prospective increase of the revenue will not only provide amply for that purpose, but also leave a consider able surplus for the formation of a sinking fund. The supreme government of the republic has specially charged me to present to the bondholders, through the medium of their worthy committee, the vote of thanks which the ge neral Congress decreed to them in testimony of the sense entertained by the nation of the sacrifices which the bondholders have agreed to on former occasions as well as particula r ly i n accept i ng the decree of the 11th October, 1850. This commission has been very gratifying to me, and it is one by which I consider myself greatly honoured. For my own part I can assure the committee that the government and the whole nation appreciate the prudence, noble-mindedness, and generosity with which the bondholders have acted, and that the republic will con sider it a point of honour punctually to pay this debt, and at all times to make whatever sacrifices and efforts may be necessary for that purpose. I should have closed this note here, but that my attention hiui been drawn to a rumour that I sun come to negotiate a loan of 6,000,000 dol.'. to 8,000,000. doh. on the security of the revenues of the Mexican church. I have received no instructions whatever from the govern ment on this matter, neither has the government received any authority f or t hat purpose, nor has such a thing been broached in the Chambers up to the time of the departure of the last English packet. This rumour has, therefore, no foundation whatever, and I request you will inform the isommitttee accordingly. In order that no uncertainty as to the state of the matter may unfavourably affect the value of the hoods to the prejudice of the bondholders, I have to request pout° publish this note, as well as toacknowledgethe receipt of it, and of the enclosed document for 2,500,000 dollars, to me. You will also please to acknowledge that this docu ment having been banded to you, and the other amounts specified in the decree of the 14th of October last having already been paid, the other copies of the said document transmitted to you by the government and the agenci es re main of no elfcet. 1 have great satisfaction in expressing to you the assurance of my particular consideration, &c.

YORK, YORADAY APTIRNOON, 6 o'ctoew. Although the special train from town this morning was announced to arrive an hour and a half before the races commenced, the majority of the metropolitan specula tors left town on Monday, hence there was a numerous attendance at the Subscription-room in the evening, and enough said and done on th e ma t c h to s h ow t h at although the betting nominally was even, Voltigeur had the call; it was the prevailing opinion that the ground was strongly in his favour. Nothing quoteable was done on the Derby. Of the proceedings to.day, owing to the late hour at which the races were set, we can speak only up to 5 o'clock; the results of those yet remaining undecided will be for warded by electric telegraph. The day has, so far, gone off with the most unequivocal success. The weather, occa sionally threatening, has been fine • and the course is thronged to an extent that h as no t been witnessed at York in our time—in point of numbers we know of nothing in the north that will bear a comparison with it but the St. Leger day of last year. We were gratified to observe amongst the company in the Grand Stand • much better display of " rank, beauty, and fashion," than we have been accustomed to see of late yean at race meetings. The ex citement on the match, unequalled in importance by any similar event sinus the time of Sir Joshua and Filho-da- Puta, was kept upPo the present moment—the issue is known—the crack horses of their respective years have met on equal terms as to weight and condition, both parties were sanguine, and the gallant Dutchman has nobly re deemed the laurels he lust at Doncaster. That the best horse has won does not admit of a doubt. The cheering front the enormous masses of pea* congregated la and around the stand reminded w of the famous struggle for the Doncaster Cup—it might have been heard for miles. In conclusion we may safely smut that such a day of excite ment has never been, perhaps never will again be seen at York. We subjoin such particulars as time will permit.

This being "continuation" day in the share mar ket, the arrangements for the settlement of the past fortnight's account have formed a main feature of business, and have imparted a downward tendency to most stocks. Th e ra t es o f " continuation " to the next account, which is fixed for the 30th of May, generally range lighter than on the last occasion. The larger stocks are chiefly af fected, and a sensible decline is observable in Lan cashire and Yorkshires, York and North Mid lands, Berwicks, and Midlands. This last-named stock is particularly heave, and has fallen to 60, the comparison of the traific receipts with those of last year being unfavourable. The falling off, how ever, is accounted for by the circumstance that the traffic attendant upon the wool sales is included in last year's returns, whilst this year the sales are a fortnight later. Eastern Counties and East Lanca shire shares have fallen. • 'ISAACS AND AM= UNOO4IIANTLED. THIS DAY. M ENTOR LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 2, Old Brosid.street., Ratesribed MOW, 1L20,000.

He was sure they had rendered a great service by the in vestigation they had been engaged in, and he had no doubt their verdict would hare the desired weight on the mind of TgY all thejery could not separate without ex pressing their thanks to Captain Laffan, R.E., for the as sistance he had rendered to them in the inquiry. He felt that they could never have arrived at some of the most va luable information elicited but for the questions his expe rience suggested. The Coroner said the presence of a government inspector had no doubt been of great importance, and the manner in which Captain Laffan had discharged his duties, and ren dered hi. co-operation in this inquiry, was one reflecting great credit on himself, and demanding their most grateful remembrance. He most cordially joined in this expression of thanks to Captain Latfan. The jury added their thanks to the coroner, for the manner in which he had conducted the inquiry, and this closed rho proceedings. It was about a quarter past five o'clock in the evening when the jury retired, and they delivered their verdict a few minutes before half-past 10 o'clock, being locked up nearly five hours and a quarter. lastwArs. 19_411•.

Previous to the delivery of the verdict in this pro tracted case, which we guys in yesterday's Exprese, Mr. Monk expressed a wish to have Mr. Bragg,, engineer to the company, retailed : Mr. Brugge, having again been sworn, stated that since Capt. Wien had expressed his disaaiisfaction with the trial trip of Kstunlay, on account of the load being lighter than bad been agreed upon by 22 tons, he had made farther trial trips with the Druid engine, adopting tie hart tig basis of Calculation 111 to the nunaher and weight of panoneesn: Two tirst-cligs carriages, 18 each 26 Four secoud do., 24 „ Two large do., 32 „ Ten stand-ups Total pana.ngers leaving Choler la ads 986 Lees throe g•ttiug oat at fads= lOO Averaging these 886 passengers at 11 stone each (instead of 12 stone each, as formerly), this gave a total weight in the train of 61 tons. The weight of carriages, engine, and tender would be 83 tons 10 cwts., making the total weight of the train required 157 tons 6 cwt. The first trial was with a train of 138 tons (the carriages being 83 tons 6 cwt., aid the dead weight 3d tons), and the result we, as follows : —The train started from Frodsham at sb. 28 in. 30 sec. Let., reached the viaduct at 5.Z2, the canal bridge at 5.35, entrance to the tunnel at sh. 36m. 45wc., end far end of tunnel at 5.40. Total time occupied 11 min. 30see. Slipped a little in the tunnel. For the second trial he put on two loaded cad waggons, weighing 16 tons 16 cwt. The dis tance was performed with this load in 17 min. 30 sees., the train slipping badly at starting and in the tunnel. In a third trial with this additional load the train started at 10.6.30, reached viaduct at 10.12.30, canal 10.14, entrance to the tunnel at 10.16.15, and emerged at 10.19.45, making a total of 131 minutes, or at the rate of 20 miles per hour. The train slipped badly at the summit in the tunnel. It was understood that Captain Loftin flied the weight to be tried, but did not attempt personally to 'acer bic whether this weight was really put on. It will have been seen, however, by his examination of Mr. Bragge, on Monday, that the 10 borrowed stand up waggons were too weak in the springs, and resting on the tope of the wheels Would act as so many separate breaks. If this was the het, it is not surprising the Druid could not take her load sea the 30th of April, and only the proper watching of the tunnel and signalling of trains in it could have prevented the accident, after she had once been allowed to enter. The jury then delivered their verdict of " Accidental death,' it with the following observations: Althea& have not felt justified la any ethic wadi* that of sedimed duds. recording image, star that they are easaimsedy *Mon that limes allestee to the eileelable eellllliblee of the Mr- Leneublers, and amain Jamedge Railway Cosa- Imey, aid that thin was a meet et prldgese aid discretion immerally la this sundaes et the Massa and sensate of the mapen7 algae the Iles hem Chubs M tilsestemer, oa the day when the gesiseholy essenwess teshwiesk which m asked in the death of the parties (a Weieseday, Seth j Airil) as to width the jury have been *Wimp With M the lesemotive power of the amamay, it apposes OZ . ileargess whatever was made teethe ephemeral traffic ekes de line hem Cheater es daring*, Chester rase weak, eel that there was as eselherimi ewer. istgediat Odle asstess/md deportment sisei that lea v peat* sad as pregendams, agsgegmeents edged for the mighty at ths sides ht riginet• to the Been Ismael, where the samba task pins se the day above-mmilseed. ohs jay led that the day there was the plat- Mr. Thomas Alcock, surgeon, of Hyde, said he had made an inspection of the body since its disinterment. Ile was satisfied that the child was born prematurely, and therefore incapable of life. The sexton and his son spoke to the burial and disinter ment of the body. Barerolt had told the sexton that the child was still-born, and tho latter did not ask him any further gut %thins. The coroner briefly eummed up the evidence, remarking that the parents had practised an imposition on the sexton in representing the child as still-born, as he would not otherwise have buried it without a certificate. This pro bably proceeded from a desire to avoid the expense of a funeral. lie thought, however, that it was the sexton's duty to have made fuller inquiry than he app eare d t o h ave done. Abe jury immediately found a verdict in accordance with the surgeon's evidence, to the effcct that the child was born prematurely. The inquiry was then resumed into the deaths of Sarah Ann Barcroft, and Ellen Mills, the children who were poisoned. Jonathan Barcroft and Ruth Barcroft, the parents of one of the deceased, were present in custody. Mr. Ellison, attorney, appeared on behalf of the pri soners. Mr. George Bowdon examined—l am registrar of births and deaths for the Glossop district. On referring to my register of births, I find a register of a child of Jonathan Bareroft. It was registered on the 24th of June 18.10 by the female p:isoncr. The place of birth is stated to be Littlemore. That is a place within my district, but is in the parish of Whitfield, in Derby. (The birth was stated to have taken place on the Bth of June.] On the 29th ult. the male prisoner came to me between seven and eight o'clock at night, and said he wanted a certificate for the burial of • child. I got out my register of deaths and pre pared to make the entry. I asked him whether the child had had • doctor, and he said it had not. He said it had died of c hin cough or chinking cough, lam not sure which. I then asked him when the child died, and where. lie said the child died that day at Little more. lie said the child's name was Sarah Ann Bareroft. He said the age of the child was eleven months, and stated that his name was Jonathan Barcmft, and that he was a labourer. Ile said he was not present at the death. After registering the death I tilled him up a certificate, and gave it to him. I know there is a place called the Hague, in the township of Mottram, but do not know that ever I was in it. It is not in my district. By the Coroner—The suestions I put to the prisoner I made with the view of filling up the columns of the register of death. I filled up those columns as he gave the answers. I have no doubt I filled them up according to the answers be gave, except as to the chin-cough. Mr. Little, special high constable for the Hyde division, was next examined. He said—l received information of the deaths of Sarah Ann Bareroft and Ellen Mills. I corn munieated with you. I attended on the 3rd of May with two surgeons, Mr. Sidebottam and Mr. Alcock, at the post neortent examination. I accompanied them to the house of Jonathan Barcroft. Ruth Barcroft was there. I saw she body of • child. I had seen the body before. It was in a room upstairs. I was present when the surgeons made the examination. The stomach was removed, with the greatest portion of its contents. It was put into a small clean jar. A piece of white rag was tied over it in my pre sence. I wrote " Barcroft" on the rag. I removed the jar to this house. I gave it to Mr. Sidebottam and Mr. Alcock when I brought it here, tied up as I received it, and without having been opened. I saw a coffin in Barcroft's house, which had printed on it " Sarah Ann Barcroft." I saw a coffin at Charlesworth with this name on, when I had it disinterred. I believe it was the same coffin and the same body. I received from Mr. Alcock on the Bth inst. a small jar tied up. I delivered it the same day to Mr. Daniel Stone, of Oxford-road, Man chester, who is • professor of chemistry. It had not been untied or opeged while in my possession. I was present at the examination of Mills's child on the 3rd inst. I received two jars from Mr. Alcock, but I don't know what portion of the body they contained. They were tied up. I carried them to 13arcroft's house, and then delivered one to Mr. Alcock. The other I brought here. Mr. Alcock and I walked toge ther from the Hague to this house. lie carried the jar which I had delivered to him at Barcroft's house. I placed my two jars on the mantel-piece, and Mr. Alcock put his with them. They were afterwards taken possession of by Mr. Alcock and Mr. Sidebottam. The medical evidence was then gone into, and was pro ceeding when our report left. CALKDONIA24 AND RAILWAY.- A special meeting of the shareholders of this company, was held on Monday in Glasgow, to consider a proposal from the present lessees of the line, for the renunciation of the agreement. P. Blackburn, Esq., occupied the chair. A report from the directors was read, which stated that they had received a proposal from the Messrs. Burns, the lessees of the line, to renounce the working agreement. The reseals that had induced them to do so, were that they had parted with all their river steamers, and ceased to be connected with the West Highland trade. The lessees offered to give 8001. in addition to the rent up to the 15th, and to hand over to the company all the extra plant they had procured, wkieh was valued at 2371. The report unanimously recommended the acceptance of the peeperd ; the more so as the homes had power by tb u t=aest to give it up on January, 1852.

TWO SELECT ELEVENS OF THE MARYLEBONE CLUB, WITH TWO BOWLERS ON EACH SIDE. The first match for the season 18.51 of the Marylcbone Club commenced yesterday at Lord's. It will be found that during the twitch several good scores were made. Fur instance, Lord Guernsey obtained 32 in admirable style, in which number were a four, four threes, the like number of twos, and a balance of singles. Then came Mr. Cecil, who made twenty-eight by means of three threes, four twos, and eleven ones. The new member of the ground, Nixon, placed 11 runs on the score, comprising a couple of threes, a two, and a leash of singles. Mr. G.M. Barker presented 9 to his side—namely, two threes, a two, and a one. The total of this innings was 96. This was Lord Guernsey's side. The lion. It. Grimston's side then commenced operations, but when they had obtained 46, the game was put an end to, as the weather would not permit of any more play. Mr. Ilayearth was at the top of the score with 22 runs, of which all were singles, with the exception of a four and two twos. Pullet carried out his bat with a score of 13, in which were a three, a two, and a balance of singles. The final score presented the following appearance: . . - - .

Nearly the whole of these vessels have been bought while the repeal of the navigation laws was under agitation, or awe they 'erre repealed ; some of them very lately. And yet Mr. Dunbar is the leader among those who de clare that British shipping has been and is in a state of ruin during the whole of the period which he has been accumulating this enormous mercantile Beet, the largest ever owned by a single individual shipowner. THE CLOTH-LAPPERS' STRIKE IN OLASGOW.—On Monday-night a meeting of working men was held in Glas gow, to hear certain statements relative to the present dis pute between the cloth-lappers and their employers. The audience, which was composed of a numerous body of ap parently most respectable artisans, was addressed by various speakers, and resolutions expressive of sympathy with the journeymen in their present struggle, and regret at the proceedings of tne masters, unanimously adopted. The principal grievance brought under review was the conduct of two of the employers, who, as it was alleged, after taking in their men last week under a promise that their demands would be acceded to, had been compelled by the masters' association to draw back from their pledge, in consequence of which the men had all left a second time.—North British Mail. ----- TEE POOR-LAH BOARD A/4D TEE MASTER OF ST.

The English stock market has worn a flat appear ance to-day, and prices are now quoted at a decline of on the closing range of yesterday. Money rather tighter, the simultaneous occurrence of the settle rdent in the Consul, foreign stock, and railway share markets having, as is usually the case, given rise to a certain demand in the Stock Exchange; and sales of money stock and Exchequer Bills have been made in consequence : indeed, this latter description of security has been only saleable at a considerable reduction in price, a large amount having been brought forward for realisation. Consols opened 971 rather buyers fur account (the 10th of June), but have receded to 971 to 1, whilst for cash they are quoted 97 to 1. This shows a decline of / since yesterday. The government broker bought his usual quantity of Reduced Threes, but the Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have been sold rather more extensively than usual. The official re port of business is :—Three per Cent. Consols, 971, 97; ditto for account, 971; Three per Cent. Reduced, 961, 4; New Three-and-a-Quarter per , Cents., 971, a, a, a. Long Annuities, 1860, 7 3-16; ditto for 30 years, 1860, 7 3. South Sea Old Annuities, 9,11. Bank Stock, 2101. Exchequer Bills have fallen considerably, all sizes having been transacted at 315. and 46a. premium. India Bonds have been sold at 30s. prem. In the foreign stock market preparations for the settlement of the account have formed a portion of the day's business, but in only one or two in stances are these of the least importance, bu siness during the last fortnight - having been upon a very quiet scale, and the fluctuations in prices having been correspondingly unimportant. Very little other business is offering, and prices are quoted with scarcely the least alteration. The busi ness report comprises only : Mexican Bonds, 354; ditto for account, 30th May, 334. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1649, 811, 821. Portuguese Four per Cents., 331. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 100. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 191, I. A Mexican bondholder points out to us the dis crepancy, as he eonsiders it, in the wording of the communication of the Mexican committee published in our paper of yesterday. The explanations of Mr. I'uyno in our paper simply infer that no loan is to be negotiated in London, the word "here" being in troduced eller " Ile contradicts the rumour of any intention on the part of Mexico to negotiate another loan." This is the version given by the Daily News, the Times, and the Morosiny Post, but in the Morning Herald, Morning Chronicle, and 211orning Adrerlaser the word " here" is left out, thereby making Mr. Payno assert that no loan whatever is contemplated. As this question of a loan is one of so much importance, our correspondent wishes fur some explanation, and to know what can be the object of the committee in putting forward in some quarters an intimation that no loan is contemplated. Of this proceeding of the committee it is not our business to offer any explanation, but with regard to the loan we believe we may state that a loan is in contemplation, and that preliminary negotiations have been opened in Mexico. The aniount will depend on the exigencies of the government, but is not likely to be under six million dollars. The ad vance is to be temporary until the operation of the new tariff, and the clergy arc to guarantee and to provide fur the payment of the interest, which they have agreed to do. What the rate of interest may be will depend upon circumstances. A low rate has been named, but it is exceedingly unlikely that the Mexican government will be able to raise money now at a low rate when fir the advances on the tangible security of the indemnity money they had to pay 1 to 11 per cent. pet month. It will be some satisfaction to know that the interest will not weigh immediately on the finances of Mexico, though it must be ultimately provided for. The dollars by the Greet Westamwecesoli-yeste" day at 4s. 111 d. per ounce, being the late rates. The price of dollars keeps up, though uucoined silver has receded. The foreign exchanges underwent but slight altera tion yesterday, the business not being of an extensive character, in consequence of a rather limited supply of bills. Short Paris was done at 24.974 to 95, long being in greater demand at 23.1.5 to 20. For Frank fort there was more money than paper, but for bills on Hamburg sellers preponderated, and the quotation was a shade higher. St. I'etersburg was negotiated ut 374 to 4. Bills on Italy and on Spain and Portugal experienced no change, The only considerable al teration that occurred was in the quotation on Aus tria, which was much lower, paper being in demand, and which left off at 13 to 13.3 for Vicuna, and 13 to 13.6 for Trieste.

The following communication, addressed by Senor Payno to the Committee of Mexican Boudholders, has been forwarded to us for publication TRANSLATION. Sir,—l arrived here on Saturday, the 10th inst., in the afternoon, at three o'clock, charged by the Supreme Go vernment of the Republic of Mexico with the affairs of the legation at this court. At the same time, I have sufficient instructions to arrange everything needful fur the punctual payment of the dividend of the Ist July next, and for the speedy issue of the new bonds. In clue fulfilment of the decree of the general congress of the 14th October, 1850,, the government ordered the general treasury to issue an order on the government of the United States of North America for 2,500,000 dol., which, under the treaty of peace, will be payable in May, 1852. The duplicate of this order was previously to the departure of the packet, sent to Mr. F . P. Faloonnet in Mexico, and the original of which I am the bearer, I have now the pleasure to enclose to you for the committee of Mexican bond holders. The government could have negotiated this as it has done former instalments, and might have sent the money; it was, however, thought better to forward the document itself, considering that the bond holders might, perhaps, wish to await its maturity, and that if they should desire to negotiate it, they might eadly do so themselves either here or in Washington, New York, or Mexico. I have also to inform the committee that the Minister of Finance has given the requisite orders to ensure the proper separation of that portion of the revenue unsigned by the decree arise 14th October last, for the pay ment of the dividends and the formation of a sinking fund at the maritime and frontier custom-houses. The Board of Public Credit, instituted by the Congressional act, for the adjustment of the domestic debt of 30th of November last, is charged with the administration of the funds assigned to the bondholders, and as L oz rd will see by the enclosed set of forms that has given so precise orders, that the liquida tion and payment of the proceeds of the maritime custom houses will be regularly made every two or three months. The same board has also taken step*, which have already proved efficacious, to set bounds to the smuggling on the northern frontier along the Rio Bravo. The man ila* custom houses are already provided with (ACM of in telligence and probity, and second lines of custom-house cdleers have been established to prevent the smugghng through the port etas Pacific. If I take credit for all those arrangements ordered by the Mexican government, it is only that the bondholders may see that the ad- ............•..... the & 41 41s 41 31 tls 34 I de 14 14 bi 94 13 . 14 die 35 /is 1 115 2 i 27i 2 31 3 die 11 Ma 15 if die 3 4i lie 21 si I di. al a 2 Id d i. $ 16i i I Pia 224 24 27 U •i •1 pm 7 •pa 17i IS 41 Si HI Si sw I pea W !026 Su 34 13 731 RAILIVAV SHARE MARKETS.
