ARC'HBISHOP'S recent effusion is doubtless an ample guarantee for the peace and quiet of Hyde park. It is at least as much as we have a right to look for from the spiritual master of legions of Shillelaghs. A Cardinal cannot without a certain sacrifice of dignity play second fiddle to Sir RICHARD MAYNE, and lower the prestige of his rank and order by preaching charity. As an eminent literary performer in the domestic pathos line, our CARDINAL may be congratulated upon having drawn tears to the eyes of many simple Protestant women by that moving apostrophe to the wives and daughters of the children of Sr. PATRICK, in which ho implores them to "cling to the arms of " their dear ones if they attempt to rush from " home to join in further disturbances, hang on " their necks, weep, and entreat, and caress them " into Catholic sentiments of meekness and gentle " nesa." This sort of thing is what actors call a " bit of fat." It never fails to bring the house down. With the British matron and damsel it has, we hear, achieved a positive succes de lannes. Cannot our Cisonial be tempted to repeat the effort ? We assume that the CJaDINAI.'s authority is in all ecclesiastical affairs acknowledged throughout these islands. We beg to call his attention, not only in the interests of public order and of social peace, but of that great cause of toleration and respect for the civil rights of religious minorities which our liberal forefathers upheld and won, to the conduct of his "dear chil dren" at Birkenhead. This is not a question of men condemned to nine years of penal servitude for reading the Bible. In countries where poor Protestants are in the power of Catholics, they do but stay at home and read their Bibles, and for this they suffer the punishment of felons. In countries where poor Catholics are in the minority, they sally out with bludgeons to smash Protestant skulls, and for this they are punished almost as severely as a hungry wretch who has broken a pane of glass to get a night's shelter and a crust. The contrast is instructive. At Birkenhead, for instance, where Cardinal WISEMAN'S dear children are found in large num bers, Catholic emancipation appears to mean the right of a Papist mob to put down Protestant meetings, to break the windows of Protestant churches, and to prevent by violence the utterance of any opinions but their own. A meeting is held at Birkenhead to express sympathy with GARIBALDI. That name is Ana thema Maranatha to Irish priests, because Gast- BALDI would fain bestow upon the Catholics at Rome the emancipation which a Protestant parlia ment bestowed upon the Catholics of Ireland. Therefore, this mob of Irish roughs, carefully in spired by their spiritual directors, proceeded to attack the meeting, and to break it up in darkness and disorder. This abominable outrage on the common right of Protestants and Catholics in • free country was, it appears, in stigated, advised, directed, and applauded by the local clergy, over whom, we presume, Cardinal WISEYAN exercises some sort of hierarchical authority. We make no random imputation or hasty conjecture. Father BRUNDRIT writes to the Liverpool Mercury to declare that a certain letter which Dr. BAYLES had read at an indignation meeting, professing to report a speech made by Father BRUNDRIT, was a calumny. The calumny consisted in affirming that Father BRUNDRIT had called GARIBALDI • viper, and congratulated the mob on their glorious victory. Father BR CRDHIT repudiates the calumnious report of his speech ; yet in his letter he avows that he "did call GARIBALDI & " blackguard. I may have called him a viper." He suggests that "viper" would be more applicable to " that ungrateful man," to wit, the Rev. Dr. BA YLZE. The Father takes credit for having " used his ut " most endeavours to quieten (sic) the justly excited " Catholics, and succeeded with Father GoLuis "in dispersing them." He wishes it to be per fectly understood that he does not by any means " lay the blame of this row upon the Catholics ; " that if misguided fanatics choose to hold a meet " ing they must take the consequences," and that if another such meeting is held, he and his col leagues will " not again act as policemen ;" in other words, that they will do nothing to prevent or to quell • riot. We thank Father BRUNDRIT for supplying the key to the CARDINAL'S enigma. Quoe ego, said the Cardinal, meaning the Garibal diens ; ud melius, he adds, meaning that he must beseech his dear children to be quiet. Father BRUNDRIT is a little " more Irish " and less nice." That is all the difference be tween them. So that Englishmen, whether Catholic or Protestant, are duly warned of the consequences of holding a public meeting in any town where a priest-driven mob of Sr. Pinnies bullies can be got together. It would be • disgrace to the cen tury, and au equal humiliation to those who granted and to those who obtained Catholic Eman cipation, if the cry of " No Popery" should be once more raised—not as a cry of proscription, but of self-defence—in • land where Catholics ass freer than at Rome.

STUTTGARD, Oer. 9. • The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia arrived at the little Wurtemburgian town of Rechingen yesterday morning. They were received by the town authorities and the clergy, near whom a large body of school children were drawn up. The chief public official welcomed their royal highnesses in a hearty speech. to which the Orown Prince replied. As their royal highnesses proceeded through the town a royal salute was fired, and the bells pealed forth a merry welcome long after the royal travellers had arrived at the Eageoia Villa. Soon after wards they visited the Hohenzollern Castle, and then pro ceeded to the pleasure palace of Lindlich. In the evening the inhabitants got up a torchlight procession in honour of their distinguished visitors, whom they also serenaded. THE PRINCE CO/MORT MILMORIAL.—The com mittee of the Memorial Fund met yesterday at the Mansion house ; the Lord Mayor presided ; and Colonel Wilson, Mr. Godwin, Mr. Gino, Mr. Charlie Hill, and Mr. Goodman were present. The amounts, audited by Meows.

Is. 5d., of which aura the committee directed 3,0001. to be invested. The total amount paid and promised up to yesterday was 53,0981. 9s. 10s. The warm thanks of the committee were tendered to the Lord Mayor for his con stant attention to the committee since the initiation of the fund. His lordship, it is understood, would continue his presidency after his mayoralty had ended. Some accounts were ordered to be paid, and, after some other routine busi ness, the committee adjourned. His Excellency the Ambassador of France and Madlle. Elphinstone de Flabeult come to town to-day from TuMailers Castle, Perthshire. The Countess de Flahaolt returns to town on Saturday. The Duke of Wellington is passing the season at hie seat in Norfolk. The duchess is staying at Dufferin Lodge, Highgate, on a Tint to her brother, the Earl of Gifford. The Duchess (Dowager) of Beaufort and Lady Edith Somerset have returned to Dripplin Castle, Perth shire, from a visit to Floors Castle, Kelso. The Marchioness Conyngham has left town on a visit to her ladyship's sister, the Dunham Dowager of Richmond, at Higheliffe, Hants.

The Earl and Countess of Vernlam left town yesterday for Gorbantbury Park, Herts. THE CITY 041RIBAILDI MEETING. The committee of management held a nume mealy-attended meeting last evening, at the Committee room, 30, Biala:legate-street. Mr. RICHARDSON, one of the hon. secretaries, brought op a report from the sub committee, which stated that a large number of letters had been received from members of parliament, merchants, and other influential gentlemen connected with the City, some ex pressing their intention and desire to take part in the meet ing, others regretting their absence from London, and many enclosing contributions towards the expenses. Amongst the absent is Mr. IL W. Crawford, M.P., who is at present inSpain. The report alsostated that certain parties in the City had been using every exertion, and bringing con siderable permute to bear. to induce Mr. Western Wood, M.P., not to preside at the meeting. Mr. Wood, had, however, waited upon Mr. Richardson, and assured him he would be found at his post. All necessary arrangements had been made with the police commissioner to ensure the peace able conduct of the meeting. There would be three resolu tions ; the first,expressing sympathy with Garib►ldi, and the cause he represents, in the complete unity of Italy under a constitutional monarchy ; the second,protesting against the continued occupatioo of Rome by the French troops, as insulting to Italy and dangerous to the peace of Europe ; and the third, embodying this protest in a memorial to Earl Ittuiseß. Mr. Samuel Morley 'and Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P. (both City men), the latter of whom has just returned from • visit to Garibaldi, will move and second the first resolution, which will be supported by the Rev. Dr. Lister, rector of one of the City parishes. The second resolution will bs moved and seconded by Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C. A great number of gentlemen had sent in their names u desirous of supporting the ram lations, from whom a selection would have to be made. Mr. Richardson this morning received a note from Sir James Duke, M.P., declining to attend. Baron Rothschild, M.P., up to 12 o'clock this day bad sent no reply. THE CENSUS OP ENGLAND AND WALES. This morning Volume I. of the population tables, setting forth the numbers and distribution of the people in England and Wales on April 8, 1861, was issued from Mews. Eyre and Spottiswoode's office. The volume comprises 750 perm The tables show the distribution of the people in the counties, hundreds, and other similar divisions, in titled and towns, poor•law unions, and registration districts, parishes, townships, • and ecclesiastical districts. The abstracts yet to be presented will exhibit the ages of the people, their occupations, birth-places, and condition as regards marriage, the numbers of the blind and deaf and dumb, and some other particulars. When the analysis of the whole of the returns is completed, a report on the general results of the census will be presented. The tables in the present return are printed so as to be complete for each of the eleven districts into which England has been divided for the convenience of statistical in vestigation. This will allow of the separate pub lication of divisional parts, which may be procured at a small expense. As the abstracts now in course of preparation involve the classification and tabula tion of many millions of separate facts, several months must still elapse before their publication. What may be termed the general results of the census have already been published. SUDDEN DEATH OF &a ANDREW L. HAY, UON YENZE OF THE COUNTY 01 , ABERDEEN.—Sir Andrew Leith Hay, K. 11., of Rennes, convener of the county of Aber deen, died rather suddenly at his seat. Leith Hall, neer Kinnethmont, on the afternoon of Monday last. Sir Andrew, who was son of Sir Alexander L. Hay, entered the army at an early age, and served on the staff of the Duke of Wellington during the whole of the Peale- Hinter war, of which be published au account. He was clerk of the ordnance under Lord Mal -1 beurne's government in 1834 and 1835 ; and li. P. for the Elgin burghs from 1832 to 1838 ; and again from 1841 to 1847. In this latter year, or about that time, he was appointed to the oMce of Governor of the Bermudas, receiving at the MOM time the honour of knight ! hood. Circumstances, however,prevented him entering upon . the duties. He unsucoessfullyoontested the representation of the city of Aberdeen in 1852 ; since which time be has con. fined his attention to an active share in the business of the county of Aberdeen, and was elected convener in April last. Sir Andrew wrote a work on the " Castellated Architecture of and wee a g ood orator, ;;I: man of taste. His son, Colonel Leith Hay, late of the 83rd High . lenders, succeeds to the estate of Leith Hall. Sir Andrew was about 78 years of age.—Edintturplt Courant. A WORKING MAN'S COLLEGE AT IPSWICIL—A public meeting was held at the Town-hall, Ipswich, on the •th inst., for the purpose of inaugurating a Wanking Mee 's Colle for which efficient preparations hay, been making.

ISS; THURSDAY E I tt•'iteyriorg urrigucafp • 'THE COV D'ETAT. IN AXIAL. folio . Isjaris• the most.iniporisat wawa The message lead ou Monday to the Prussia] Chambers by M. de Bismark, President of the Council of Ministers : ,~. ~;~. The government of his Majesty the King must regret that the deliberations oonoerning the budget of 1862 have not led to the legal settlement of that budget. It thinks that since the commencement of the Session it has shown its desire to secede to all the proposals of the national repre sentation which it could regard as capable of reali.ation without prejudice to the essential interests of the state. With this object, the budget for the present year has been presented, with a very extended specification of articles, at the same time as the budget of 1863, which allowed also the latter to be voted before the close of the year. In conse quence of the disappearanee of an itemise of taxation, the charges of the state have been brought back to their former condition, and this reduction of public receipts has been compensated for by a considerable reduction of military ex penses. . . ' ' But the government of his Majesty the King could not rally to the re solutions of the Chamber of Representatives, according to which the greater part at the outlays already made for the reorganisation of the army and for other in dispensable expertise, for the current year were to be sup pressed. It would render itself culpable of a serious for getfulness of its duties if, comformably to the resolution of the Chamber, at the price of abandoning the considerable sacrifices it has already made, and to the detriment of the power of Prussia, it were to retract the reform of the con stitution of the army, accomplished io conformity with former votes of the national representation. The budget for the year 18G2 as decreed by the Chamber of Representatives having been rejected by the Chamber of Lords on the ground of insufficiency, the government of his Majesty is under the necessity of wielding the Public affairs outside the conditions prescribed by the consti tution. It ia perfectly aware of the responsibility it incurs from this lamentable state of things, but it is also alive to the duties which it owes to the country, and therein it finds the authority to continue to meet the expenses which are necessary for the maintenance of the public institu tion', and for the development of the prosperity of the state, until such time as the budget can be legally decreed. It entertains the hope that these expenses will be finally sanctioned by the Diet. The government of the King is convinced that our constitutional system cannot prosper except on the condi tion that the branches of the legislative power should im pose upon themselves, each in the exercise of its powers, a reserve commanded by the respect due to the rights of others, and by the constitutional necessity of • free un derstanding between the crown and the two Chambers of the Diet. The government of his Majedy does not doubt that our constitutional existence will develop, itself in this path, thanks to the lessons of experience, and that the present conflicts will find their solution in the sentiments of a common self-denial in favour of the power sod of the dignity of the crown, and of the welfare of the country. In the name of the King I declare that the session of the two Chambers of the Diet is closed. At the concluaion of the reading of the message the members separated quietly, as if nothing par ticular had taken place. (uoria's riasowas.) FRANCE. PARIS, Oct. 16.

I find I was quite right in attributing the panic at the Bourse yesterday, not to rows from Prussia, but to the apprehension of a ministerial disloca tion in Paris. In the teeth of some matter-of course "enormous lying" on the part of semi official and officious journals, 1 now assert positively that there has been a meet serious ministerial crisis, and I believe it is not yet over. It is beyond all doubt that MM. Fould, Thouvenel, and de Per aigny have offered their resignations. There is a rumour this evening worth attention, that M. Fould, who, for financial reasons, is more important to the Emperor than any other minister, has been persuaded to withdraw his resignation ; but of this I am by no means sure, and indeed I greatly mistrust the statement. I have, at all events, good reason for thinking that nothing was settled this morning. M. de Per signy may possibly be induced to remain in office out of extreme devotedness to his old master ; but if lie does, his political principles, supposing him .to have any, must be sorely tried, for it is now certain that the evacuation of Rome, which he had brought himself to believe in, is a delusion. M. Thouvenel will certainly go, and if he should ultimately be the only sacrifice something will be said about the heglth of his wife. To show the way in which the crisis is repre sented —or, rather, misrepresented—to the French public, I subjoin textually the remarks of the Imperialist evening papers. The Pays says : It is difficult to follow the daily rumours spread at the Bourse and elsewhere. Yesterday there wan a talk of bar ricade* at Berlin ; but this, it seems, was not all, for some people must needs have a ministerial crisis in Paris. Let us once more my that these stories are mere rumours and suppositions without any serious foundation. It were to be wished that the French money market would lend a less uneasy ear to these Stock Exchange reports, and pay a more exclusive attention to the rand revival in business, the news of which crowds in upon us from all quarters. No thing whatever that we know of either abroad or, at fortiori, at home has occurred to justify want of confidenoe. The above paragraph may be dismissed as a mere unscrupulous assertion of the thing that is not in the simplest form. The Petrie admits the crisis, to a certain extent, and descants upon it as follows : The rumour of a change of ministry, which circulated in Paris yesterday, has given rise to very various in terpretations. We can announce positively that the only question agitated between the Emperor and his ministers is that concerning the elections, his Majesty having decided that they shall not be had till the expiration of the legal term fixed by the constitution. So that, according to the Patric, there is a question " agitated " between the Emperor and his ministers, but one only concerning the general elections. This statement is essentially untrue. The real and great subject of difference is the Roman question ; but it may well be that the postponement of the elections to the last possible moment is a collateral determination growing out of the main contention. The observations of the France are the most worthy of attention. This journal, through a transparent affectation of language, does in the main admit the crisis, and looks to its solution either from an unconditional recantation of their principles on the part of the present liberal ministers, or to a radical change of ministry. The Prance says : Yesterday sod to-day rumours of a ministerial modifica tion have circulated in Paris with a certain persistence. We do not think these rumours absolutely devoid of foundation, although nothing has yet occurred to confirm them. Various causes are assigned for the ministerial crisis now said to be at hand. Some pretend that difficulties have arisen in the council of ministers about the coming elections. Our opinion is that, although discussion may have taken place on this subject, the entire cabinet remained ultimately agreed that the elections should not take place this year, but that the Corps Legielatif should finish the full term of its constitu tional mandate. Others affirm that certain ministers will retire on account of serious dissensions on the Roman ques tion. We know not whether the report is true, bemuse hitherto nothing in any official despatch has revealed a di versity of opinion between the Emperor and his ministers on the subject of Italian affairs. If any such di versity has occurred recently, it may be confi dently believed that it is not the policy of the head of the state, ever so firm, so straightforward, so national, and so sincerely expressed, which has varied. This policy has never changed for a single instant ; there is not the least ground for supposing that will change. In any case if, as we will yet hope—{l very despairing sentence this for a writer who professes to have no knowledge on the subject]—the ministerial crisis, which public rumour pre sages, should not take place, we shall see in that fact a proof that the honourable ministers alluded to have never been in opposition to the imperial policy, and that after having faith fully served it in the peat, they remain ready and resolved to defend and ensure its triumph for the future. U, however, the contrary should be the case, there can be no doubt that the sovereign will appeal to the devotion of political men firmly attached to those principles of prudence, justice, national interest, and true liberalism, which he bas long strives, to enforce in the settlement of Italian affairs. But in this fact there would be no change in French policy, which, on the contrary, would only receives new and signal With reference to the supposition that M. Thouve nel will be immediately relieved from the ministry of foreign affairs, I may state that M. Drouyn de L'Huys has been at St. Cloud several times within the last few days. _ . The Temps, bitterly alluding to the insufficiency of the French press, in these times, to fulfil the office of public instructor, speaks of the reports of change of ministry as "rumours of which every body is talking except the journals." The France pretends to be informed from Turin that a strong party is forming in Italy for aban• doning all hope of obtaining Rome for a capital, and choosing Florence instead. M. Rattaszi being committed to the policy which the King has pro fessed hitherto, will, the Prance says, resign on the day when he shall be compelled to announce to parliament that France will not allow Italy to have Rome. _ _ The Bourne has but slightly recovered from the panic of yesterday ; and this, although the revenue returns in the Mora/ear, showing an increase of 75 millions in the produce of the indirect taxes for the last three months, were calculated to encourage a rise. It is to be presumed, therefore, that the causes for the depression still remain in full force. There was very violent oscillation in the Rente, which in the course of the day was quoted as low as 70fr. 60c., and ae high as 71fr. 20c.

The scene on the ground after the occurrence was fright ful, even atter the removal of the dead bodies bad with. drawn the more harrowing element of the disaster. Occasional pelting showers of rain had fallen during the night, which, however was on the whole clear; and the wind, which at times blew almost • gale, swept with a dull heavy rush through the trees of Hopetonn Wood, which overhang the fatal spot. The line itself being sheltered by the high banks of the kind of ravine in which it runs, was tolerably free from the gusts of wind ; but all through the dreadful search, the workmen and the many kind-hearted country-people who bad hurried to render assistance, beard above them the deep mournful sound of the gale, • solemn accompaniment to the more piercing sounds of human suffering around them. Descending on the line from the Craigtown-bridge, • gang of about one hundred surface men could be dimly seen by the light of the moon, which shone brightly out at interval', and of the fires kindled between the rails, busily striving to remove the debris, and disencumber the engines from the rubbish heaped about them, so as to admit of their with- ' drawal. The first object that presented itself on entering I from this point was • third-class carriage of the Edinburgh ' train completely upset, sod lying on the north line of rails. The strong timber framework on which the carriage rested was almost entire, but the body of the carriage had been smashed into small fragments, and was strewn along the line. One pair of wheels was still attached to the framework, and projected in the air, while the other pair had been torn altogether from the carriage, and lay at some distance, A little further along, between the north rails, were the weighty wheels, of the Edinburgh engine, still held together by their axle and standing upright on the line. Not far from them lay the driving-wheel of the Edinburgh engine, snapped from its fastenings, and lying flat on the ground in the "ox fest," with the connecting rod entire still attached. Cleft by were the wrecks of the two engines, which had been lowered on the rails, and which presented • terribly sumes ave spectacle. The massive iron-works of the platforms and of the furnaces were all smashed in ; the machinery twisted, broken, and mattered on the line ; and the cover ing-plates of the Glasgow engine, which had been greatly scorched is the conflagration of its coal and the wreck of the carriages, were blistered and broken up. Between the engines and the southern wall of the cutting • confused mass of rubbish lay, composed of what had been a strong new third-class carriage, part of a guard's van, and igen merable small objects resulting from the general destruction —such as buffers, coupling-chain; bolts, carriage-windows, beam; and brake-gearing. Through this masa it was diffi cult to force a way alongside the ruins of the engines ; and part of the timber of the demolished carriages lay upon the grassy projections of the rock, which here and there jut through the retaining wall. Close beside the Glasgow engine was found • small perchment bound book, such as the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company ranee for the guidance of its servants, and which had evidently belonged to one of the unfortunate four men who were on the engines. It was all torn and defaced ; and was charred through nearly half its pages, probably in the fire which so terribly disfigured the body of poor Cunningham, the Glasgow stoker. Still further west ward la 'part of the guard's van of the Glasgow train, with out the bottom, and all splintered and crushed. The whole debris was within a space of about eighty yards ; and its position supports the statement that the only carriage* seriously damaged were those immediately attached to the A telegram requesting the assistance of • strong force of surface men reached Edinburgh about seven on Monday night, and no time was lost in forwarding by special train a number of men, who at once set to work to extricate the sufferers and the dead bodies from the wreck. This having been accomplished shortly after midnight—with one ex ception, that of the body of Cunningham, mentioned above—the work of rendering the line available for traffic was energetically proceeded with. The en gines having been righted on the rails—the Edin burgh one on the hinder wheels only, the fore end driving wheels having been disabled—were strongly bound together by iron chains, and dragged along the line towards Linlithgow, about half.past six o'clock. and the debris, with the passengers' luggage brought by the Glasgow train. and which had been left piled on the ballast alongside the line last night, was loaded on a train of five waggons and removed to Winchburgh and Ratho stations. The line, as we have said, was quite cleared for the resump tion of the ordinary passenger traffic at seven this morning, although the night goods trains were not dispatched last night. One of the first duties of the superior officials of the line, en reaching the scene of the disaster, was to examine the handles and breaks of the two engines ; when it was found that both of the drivers had done all they possibly could in the circumstances, by reversing their en gines at once, and putting on the breaks, which were found quite " hard." They could mutely have had time to ae complish this before the crash came, in which three out of the four men on the amines perished ; but it is a melan choly satisfaction to know that even in that moment of terror they bad presence of mind to leave this sufficient testimony that they strove hard, though ineffectually, to avert the catastrophe. The damage to plant by the destruction of the two engines and of the carriages has been estimated at about 5,0001. The pointaman Newton, to whose overnight the terrible catastrophe is attributed, has been taker into custody by the Linlithgow police. It is rumoured that Newton was only appointed to the charge of the points at this part of the lice half an hour previous to the collision. About four o'clock on Tuesday morning the body of the stoker of the Glasgow train, John Cunningham, was brought to Edinburgh, tun • frightfully mutilated state, and laid beside the eleven bodies taken to the Police-office on the previous evening. Of the 24 persons taken to the Infirmary, four died front their injuries during the oight—ruaking 17 deaths in all up to the present time, including a commercial-traveller from Birmingham, named Bolton, whose body was conveyed on Monday night to Linlithgow, and theme to Glasgow on Tuesday. The Police-office on Tuesday morning was literally besieged by friends and relatives of missing persons, eager to obtain a sight of the bodies remaining to be identified, that they might, if possible, put an end to that state of painful suspense in which they had been placed by , the intelligence of the disaster. In the course of the forenoon one body after another was identified, until only two persons remained unknown. About noou, one of these was recognised as Mr. Alexander Hedderwick, writer, Falkirk, and the other, from his dress, is suctioned to be a porter on the Duablane, Demme" and Callender Railway. Among three identified early in the m ra e o rn .da in y g e waii venip th g e , act who w wo " h ree wa o s sn brougt to wd as Mrs , Gill, o os t: husband is employed in the Custom-house, London. The de ceased was a native of Halifax, Yorkshire, and hadforsorne time been living with her daughter, Mrs. Dempster, widow of the late James Dempster, tobacco manufacturer, Stirling. Mrs. Dempster and her daughter, a child between seven and eight years of age. were both in the train with the greed mother, Mrs. Gill, and are both severely injured. The three, it is said, bad been staying together at Portobello for some time, and they were on their way home to Stirling when the accident happened. Mrs. Dempster is at present lying in the Infirmary with one leg broken, suffering from a seversinjured, Her ntusiodsc daughter Mary bead, ra7 a rae nd . with per , ho u r , back ly.g seriously t iouy iLin lithgow, with both legs broken. The scene in the two rooms of the police-office where the twelve dead bodies were laid was one of the most solemn and impressive which could possibly be con ceived—a sight which could not be looked upon without • shudder, and the feeling that many days mast elapse before the spectacle could be banished from the mind. In one room lay seven bodies—six men and • woman—the men being placed side by side along the floor, and the woman an • table opposite. The latter, who was identified as Mrs. Gill, was above seventy years of age, dressed in black, aid her body preemie no marks of violent*, the face being pale and wearing • composed aspect No one from her appearance, in short, could Maurine that death had been the result of an accident. It was far otherwise with the bodies of the six stout, stalwart men lying oe the door. Four of i these—an engine -driver, a stoker, • railway clerk, sad a I railway porter—were much injured, chiefly on the head and limbs. Mr. Hedderwick, writer. Falkirk, who lay is the centre of the melancholy group, had also been severely injured on the bead and limbs, besides being much scalded. The only remaining body in the room— which 'was injured chiefly on the back and shoulder—was , that of Mr. Heide, manager of the Oakley Iron Works, • gentleman whose sad fate is rendered more affecting by the fact that he bas been only recently married. In the second room, five bodies lay ranged along the floor—two women and three men, one of the latter being the fearfully mangled body of Cunningham, the stoker of the Glasgow train. Next to him lay a shoemaker named Macfarlane, whose injuries were chiefly on the head. The only remaining male body was that of a gentleman who bad been crashed to death, and who is supposed to be a Mr. klaztoo, from Kirkintilloch, from the fact that on his person were found • considerable number of letters addressed to " Mr. G. H. Halton, Printing Company's office, Kirklotilloch." Next the door lay the two women clew together—the one being Mrs. lioneyman, the railway rd's wife, and the other a dome tic servant o Stevenson, who bad evidently been suffocated. She and Mrs. Eloneyman, who lay beside her, were the only two who do not appear to have died instantaneously. Stx out of the twelve bodies were severely scalds* ; but Dr. Littlejohn (who has been in almost contest attendance since the occurrence of the accident) is of "OM= that in every case, with the exception of the servant girl, the other injuries on th e bodies must hams eared instantaneous death.

We are still unable to give even an approximate statement of the total number injured, so many of the passeuceni baying been conveyed by their friends to their own flAi• domes of the extent of whose injuries it is impossible to give any correct account. With regard to those who were so seriously injured that it was deemed neosseary to have them attended to at once, twenty-four were taken to the Royal Infirmary ; of these, four have died, whose namee a r e given elsewhere in the complete list of dead. Groat numbers of the injured were sent to Linlithgow, to be attended to by medial gentlemen, who had been pro cured from Glasgow, Sic. The following is, as near Its can be ascertained , a full list of those who arrived at Linlith gow, with the nature cf their injuries : In Star and Garter Hotel.—Mr. J. Shaw, aged 21, writer, Falkirk--cootusion over CROWD of head, right ear much burned, left hand and right leg severely sodded—dangerously ill.

Body taken by friends to Glasgow. Mr. Alexander Mgrityre, Governor of Stirling Prism, severely injured about the head. Left for Stirling on Tuesday. In our list of injured, published yesterday, there were, u might have been expected, several inaccuracies, and we have been requested to correct the following Mr. and Mrs. Kerr, of India-place, Glasgow. were reported as severely burned. Mr. Loraine Kerr, of 24, Isdiaatreet, Glasgow, writes to inform us that there is no India-place in Glasgow, and Mrs. Kerr and himself were not in either train. Mr. Middlemess, of the Rainbow Dining-rooms, North. bridge, was also erroneously reported to have been injured. It turns out that Mr. Middleman was net a passenger in tither of the trains. A gentleman, writing to a friend in Edinburgh from the scene of the accident yesterday afternoon, says :—" The I skin of a man's hand was pointed out to me peeled off like a rag with the nails attached. I also noticed the sleeve of a lady's dress fastened to a part of the boiler. Two young children are left in a house here, the mother being killed and the father having boa his legs taken off." LATEST PARTICULARS. EDINBURGH, WZDNICSDAT Arnimoos. The fall extent of this earful calamity as far as re- I garde the injury to the persons in the train is nut even yet known, although we are happy to say that there has been np to this time no addition to the loss of seventeen lives already announced, many of the sufferers, however, remain in a very critical condition. The public excitement continues to be very great on the subject here, and all day the police station, the Infirmary, and the other buildings to which the dead aid wounded were conveyed, have been surrounded by crowds of people anxiously awaiting the removal of their friends. A hap number of the persona who were injured, and who were in the first instance taken to the hospital, have since been re• moved to their own homes ; but the removal of the dead has not yet commenced. About thirty is the number of those who are seriously injured, but almost every passenger in the train received slight hurt. Although there will be a • ' full investigation into the circumstances of the accident, both by the procurator fiscal, assisted by the sheriff substitute, and an inquiry also by the company, yet in ac inordance with the Scotch law, such examination will be in the strictest degree private, and will only be published in an official form after the conclusion of the whole inquiry. A short private investigation took place at Linlithgow yes terday, which resulted in the committal of the pointeman Newton, but the general feeling of the public here is, that there should be an open judicial inquiry insti tuted by the government into the mode of managing the railway on the part of the higher officials. It is alleged that the line has been for months in the most insecure state, and the wonder is that the accident did not occur before. Very little indeed can be added to the copious details given by the Scotch papers, either as respects the incidents of the accident or the causes which led to it. It is understood that steps are being taken by Mr. Dunlop, the deputy chairman of the line, with a view to institute a searching inquiry into the accident. The line was opened again for passengers though not for goods traffic last night, and today the regular trsins have been running as if nothing had happened. LINLITHGOW, WEDNUDAT Nicer. This afternoon the procurator fiscal opened a court for the investigation of the muses of the accident which took place on Monday night, and which resulted in the deaths of so many passengers. The proceedings before the procurator fiscal, who acts with full magisterial powers. were yesterday entirely confined to what is termed the precognition of the bodies, or what would answer in Eng land to identification. There were a large number of persons in attendance both as witnesses to the accident and to prove the identity of the bodies, but they were only admitted singly, all preliminary proceedings of I judicial character being quite private. The whole of the afternoon wee occupied in the business of precognition, after which the court adjourned ; and it is understood that it will meet daily, sifter a short adjournment, to examine the witnesses as to the cause of the accident. The prisoner Newton, who has been committed for hill to answer for his share in the accident, has been two years in the service of the company, and was reputed a very sober aod attentive man. He had been placed in charge of the portion of the line on which the accident took Owl two days previously, and not, as has been stated in some of I the newspapers, only six hours. In addition to the loss of life incurred, the for of property to the company is very great, and it is probable that the damages they will have to pay will be immense, on account of the well•to•do condition of the main body of those who were killed or wounded. Both engines are, it is said. so smashed as to prevent their ever being assailable again. and the ant of the engines alone is very large. The general opinion in Edinburgh among well-informed pm"ss is that this accident will not cost the company much less than from 50,0001. to 00,0001. ; but to a great extent this of arum must be matter of conjecture. Up to 10 o'clock to-night the reports from the mist] hospitals end places where 'the wounded were conveyed was that, with the exception of three very critical eaves, all the wounded were going on favourably, but of those throe two were not expected to survive the night No such railway accident as this has ever before occurred is Scotland.
