An engine bad been shunted on to a side line not far from the elation. and the Fointsman having omitted to close the switch the train which left Oxford at 347 ran into the engine, and such was the force of the collision that several persons occupying third class carriages in the fore part of the train were thrown against each other from the opposite 'Wes of the carriages, receiving • very severe plinking, and some received cute about She head. ceasing the blood to flow freely.

OP LONDON.—An influential meeting of members of the committee of the Liberal Registration Association of the City was held at the offices of the society, in Bush-lane, on Wednesday. for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken in respect of the ensuing election of members to represent the City in par liament, and also to ascertain the views of the present sitting members. The meeting was, as preliminary meet ings generally are, of a strictly private character, and confined entirely to members of the committee of the society. There • was a conversation with reference to the registration of voters, after which it was announced that the present members—the Right Hon. O. J. %when, Baron Lionel de Rothschild, Mr. R. W. Crawford, and Mr. Mclennan Lawrence—intended to offer themselves for re-election at the ensuing election. The announce ment was received with cheers. Clientem.—Tbe conservatives intend bringing forward Vice-Admiral G. Elliot, late Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, to contest this borough with Mr. Arthur J. Otway, the present member. CoLcrli.srEß.—We learn by telegraph that a crowded meeting of liberals was held Let evening ; Mr. J. B. Harvey in the chair. It was proposed by Mr. J. S. Barnes, and seconded by Mr. E. Smith, that Mr. Rebow, the present member, be invited to stand again at the next election. It was then prod by Mr. F. B. Philbrick, and seconded by Mr. W. Barrett, president of the Work ing Men's Liberal Aesociation, that the second candidate be Dr. Brewer • and this was carried with enthusiasm. Both candida tes addressed the meeting, giving cordial adhesion to Mr. Gladstone's measures. EAST SUPFOLIC.X private meeting of the secretaries of the Association for the Liberal Election in East Suffolk (appointed subsequently to the last election for this division, in order to organise the party for the next contest), has been held at Ipswich, and it was agreed to send a deputation to ask Mr. George Tomline, of Orwell: park Nucton, to come forward in conjunction with Colonel Adair. Mr. Tomline has hitherto represented Shrewsbury, end was one of the "Adullamites.' GREENWICIL—Lest evening a numerously at tended meeting of the leading liberal electors of the borough of Greenwich was held at the Literary Institution of that town, for the purpose of securing the return of the R*lit Hon. W. E. Gladstone aa one of the representatives of the borough at the forthcoming general election. Mr. W. Angerstem, who presided, said he had great pleasure in allowing his name to appear as the chairman of the com mittee which had been formed for the bordugh of Green wich to support the return of Mr. Gladstone. By return ing Mr. Gladstone they would do honour to themselves, and also honour the right hon. gentleman whom they all desired to ret u rn, f or s h ou ld h e f a il f or S ou th Lancashire, then they could offer him a seat for Greenwich, and if elected for South Lancashire, as he believed Mr. Gladstone would be, they need not be ashamed of having elected him as one of their re presentatives, for Mr. Gladstone bad entered parliament as a conservative, had grown to a strong and stronger liberal, and was the best man to lead the great liberal party in the House of Co:Onions. Mr. Dickson, of Dept ford, and Mr.Jolle, of Woolwich, reported the results of meetings of the liberal party held in those towns, fully concurring in the object - of the meeting , Mr. Jolly adding that so astounded was a leading and well known conservative at the step the liberal party had thus taken, that he raid the only way to defeat it was to bring forward Mr. Disraeli as a candidate. Mr. W. C. lienoett moved the first resolution, accept ing the Eight Hon. W. E. Gladstone as one of the candi dates for the borough. He observed that at the meeting held at Woolwich on Tuesday evening, Mr. Baxter langley, who was before the constituency as a candidate for the representation, had stated that he was too good • liberal to stand in opposition, or to divide the liberal in terest against two such candidates as the Right Hoe. W. E. Gladstone and Mr. Alderman Salomon,,, and had pro mised to give every eupport in his power to secure their election. (Applause.) They had also heard that Sir W. Codrington, who had formerly represented the borough, was likely to become a candidate, but he held a communication in his hand, and which he was at liberty to read, in which Sir W. Codring ten said :—" Although there may be some doubt whether Mr. (Hailstone would separate himself from the great constituency he at present represents, it certainly would be injudicious for another liberal candidate to come into the field rending the reply of the right hon. gentle man to the invitation whieTt may bo conveyed to him." (Applause.) Sir William Codrington also "No second liberal candidate could afford to lose thesupport, from whatever came, of the body of gentlemen who are endeavouring to secure for the borough of Greenwich the distinction they are now seeking to obtain for it." Mr. NV hite reotsided the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. It was then determined to form local com mittees in the several towns in the borough, and a vote of thanks to the chair man closed the prooseisgA Admiral Farragut haa written to the Mayor of Poutbaroyton orpressing his regret at being unable to accept tU invitation of hie worship to a public 4ixter taiament. It would be difficult to find a more charming suburban retreat than Hurlingham-park, Fulham. " The New Red-house and River-side Club," as it has been recently dubbed, gives but an inadequate notion of its quiet retirement and sylvan beauty. " The Red-house ! "—coupled, too, with the " river-side"--auggests the dreadful tavern, now no more, which made Sunday hideous, which caused the steamboats to be crammed with cheap and noisy pleasure-takers, and made the old Bat tersea-fields the centre of the kind of jollity we associate with Bartlemy or Greenwich fair. Donkey boys from Hampstead-heath, pigeon fanciers from Spdalfields, Jew cigar vendors from Whitechapel, the " knock-'em-downs," three-card men, hawkers of cheap jewellery, Punch and Judy shows, the sharpers and "bonnets" of our raoe-courses, were all crowded together to shout and swear on Sunday evenings in the vicinity of the Red-house. The tavern itself was respectably conducted, but the grounds near it had the fortune to collect to gether as motley and boisterous a crew as London could furnish, and the Rod-house is a synonym with most people who remember it for coarse and turbulent enjoyment, and rough-and-ready deeds. But it had a smack of sporting too, and shooting matches were held to be its speciality. The new Red-house--or, as most people prefer still to call it, Hurlingham-house—is the reverse of all this, save that, like its departed namesake, it is sup ported by both sexes, us situated on the banks of, the Thames , and is devoted to the slaughter of pigeons. But these points of similarity admitted, the divergence is complete. The " red " of Hurl ingham, instead of being the blase of coarse colour appropriate to a public-house, is of the mellow respectable sort we all admire in ancient palaces and well-established country seats. It is quiet, secluded, aristocratic. No vulgar omnibus or fussy coach runs by its gates; no noisier thorough fare than " the silent highway" can be seen from its park or grounds. The plebeian who seeks to visit tt for the first time had better lose himself about Parson's-green, and then select the quietest and most retired lane he can find to take him to his destination. • Down this—not without a nursing sense of wonder at the green fields and fresh country on either side of him—and our represen tative stranger finds a lodge to his right, beyond which is a spacious avenue of grand old trees. But for the glimpse ho has had on his way of some new oak palings—suggesting in their un painted freshness a recently erected circus or show —through the thickset hedge, coupled with the sharp and continuous crack of gun-firing beyond them, he would havehesitated at stopping. As it is, he asks one of the policemen who are lounging near the lodge-gate whether this be the suburban club he is in search of ; and then showing hie credentials to the lodge-keeper, he passes through a handsome private garden up to an equally handsome, old-fashioned private house. Through this, again, and noting that it is only partially and temporarily furnished, and he is on a grassy and flower-bedecked bank, looking on to the Thames. Once admitted by the lodge-keeper, he is free of the place. The garden he is in now is full of rich and varied beauty. The river glides swiftly by the lawn and the sloping banks to the left, while, hidden by the umbrageous trees which bound the grounds by the west are Putney-bridge, Fulham Palace, and the modest little house still pointed out as the whilom residence of Theodore Hook. But turning from the water and looking into the grounds, the leafy splendour of the nthle trees—the one feature in landscape garden ing which money cannot buy ready-mad.e—the quiet calm of the shady vistas, and carefully-pro tected grassy ladle to right and left, extort-ad miration even from the least observant. The place is so calm, and still, and beautiful, that it is difficult to realise that it is only half an hour's drive from the most bustling parts of London; and one proceeds in the direction of the shooting ground with a vague sense of staying at a country-house with a mixed party to dinner in the evening. For here and there among the trees and shrubs may be seen a light and wavy robe or two, a bit of bright colour, or a gay head-dress ; and the soft sound of feminine laughter floats upon the air as we proceed. Through the gardens, and past more fine oaks and elms, greenhouses, retired paths, undulating grass-plots and flower-beds, and a park is reached, in the best part of which is a spacious enclosure separated from the rest by the oak palings previously seen. The house and gar dens and park, the retirement, the cultivation, the beauty, are all dependent upon what is now taking place here. These things are kept up that pigeon's may be killed. Here is a grand stand, which is unoccupied to-day, through the wind being, as we are told subsequently, in " the wrong quarter for killing from it" ; and those who would have filled it occupy a long line of chairs upon the grass. Youth and age, beauty, rank, fashion, culture, high names, and lofty lineage are all present. The ladies seated with their attendant cavaliers come first. Whatever Eng land has to show of refined and high-bred beauty is to be seen among them. The most ancient blood and the most graceful forms, the people, not who are admitted amongst but who themselves con stitute the eri4ne de la creme of modern society of both sexes, are here. The arrangements are admirably suited to their purpose, and every fair sitter has a full view of half a dozen little square boxes—like those for bon bona—which are stationed in a row from twenty to thirty yards from the line of chairs. Each box contains a pigeon, which it liberates by coming to pieces directly the string attached to its roof and aides is pulled. The instant the bird moves it is shot down. A little lower down, but in the game line with the ladies, the gentlemen are seated who have come un attached ; and from these the pigeon shooters principally come. The July Handicap of five sovereigns each, and confined to members of the Hurlingham Club, was shot for last Saturday afternoon. Among its competitors were peers of various ranks—peers of the future from the heir to a dukedom downwards; members of the House of Commons, baronets, officers in the army, including at lima one whose valour in the field has been rewarded by the Victoria Cross; and county gentlemen with historic names, and great London " swells" by the score. Each of these had been handicapped by Mr. Frank Heathcote, one of the leading authonties of the world on this particular phase of sport, and followed each other in rapid succession to the "firing place. The dis tance at which they stood from the pigeons varied according to skill and reputation, but in no case was the person firing more than twenty-eight or less than twenty-one yards from the bird he aimed at. It is superfluous to add that a general slaughter was the result. (At 21 yards, accord ing to Cunningham's " Handbook of London," the crack shots of the old Red-house would always back themselves to kill 19 pigeons out of 21.) Guns, ammunition, loaders, and at tendants behind the chairs ; a table with soorers and list-keepers in front; long strings run ning from the little boxes to the table-feet, and men to pull them when each shooter has taken his place and given the word ; a pile of hampers from which the pigeons were taken alive to the boxes, and to which they are brought back dead by an ugly hut sagacious black retriever, made up the properties of the scene. The proceedings lasted through the afternoon, and every bird shot et was wounded, and with few exceptions killed. It was laid that the pigeons supplied were less strong on the wing than usual, and were quiet and frightened—and that the wind impelled them to fly on to the guns. Whe ther this was so or not the betting men—without whom no English sport, however aristocratic, would be complete—made a harvest by laying three, three and a half, and even four to one that the bird would die. Those who backed the gan always won, and as fast as each man killed his pigeon another was carried out—from a hamper, through the chinks of which, by the way, those waiting their turn oould see their fellows shot down—and the box put together again to detain it. It was capital fun for everybody but the pigeons. The fair young girls and aristocratic matrons watched it eagerly, and sat with scoring card and pencil in hand, noting down the per formance of each of their male friends. To an uneducated eye the element of sport seemed wanting, for the simple reason that the - wretched birds had no chance of escape. Each gentleman was allowed to fire two barrels, and the sooond of these effectually accomplished what the first began. Now and again a wounded bird would essay to fly out of the deadly enclosure, and then all present watched its agonised struggles witk real anxiety, for if it got beyond the prescribed limits to die it was pronounced "No bird," and the gentleman shooting it lost the score. This set the betting men, both amateur and professional, on tenter-hooks, and fresh offers and new bets were made. Once a pigeon which had been hit, but not killed, sought shelter in the spreading branches of one of the trees under the shade of which the ladies sat. It was badly wounded, and gave a piteous little . cry as it alighted. A f ew seconds' suspense, during which the backers of gun or bird anxiously looked upwards while making and taking fresh bets as to whether it would die, and their suspense was ended by. a mangled mass of palpitating flesh and warm blood and feathers falling plump into a lady's lap, to the infinite detriment of the pale and delicate dress she wore. To seize the quivering little moribund, and with a dexterous wring of the neck to put it out of its misery, was of course but the work of a moment to the gentleman at her side; but blood does not harmonise somehow with lavender silk and pretty laces, and though the incident evoked mush laughter from both the ladies and gentlemen pre sent, it brought the nature of the spectacle they were enjoying rather forcibly home. The feathers of departed birds were floating in the air like moths on a summer's evening, a pile of large hampers was filled with the slain, one wounded bird which had got away was endeavour ing to balance its wearied body on the palings, the dog which picked up the fallen was almost beaten with fatigue, and the odds against the birds were going steadily up to the thee we left. But ladies were still flocking in, and every variety of fashionable vehicle and acrowd of liveried servants were in waiting at the doors. The grounds were lovely as ever, and hurrying through them to the killing place were the elegant figures to be seen on drawing-room days and at botanical felon. What ever else pigeon shooting may be, it is undoubtedly the aristocratic amusement of the hour. Yet it IS difficult to absolve it from cruelty, and cruelty to dumb animals waa once held to be the distinguish ing vice of the low and base. To torture these has been described as " the certain mark of ignorance and meanness—an intrinsic mark which all the external advantages of wealth, splendour, and nobility cannot obliterate." But different times have different manners, and to see hundreds of the birds universally regarded as the type of innocence mercilessly and painfully slaughtered from seats so conveniently placed that not a flutter of the ruffled plumage, not a gyration of the dying agony, not a helpless struggle to use again the pinions which have been destroyed, not a con fiding look when the poor wretch sits down and, without attempting to fly, looks its de stroyer piteously in the face, is minted—to see these things closely and minutely is a cherished amusement with the classes to whom all amusements are within reach, and whose station and advantages entitle them to be looked up to and emulated as examples. Two days after the experience recorded, we were present at a boors' shooting match in a Surrey field. Nothing could be more vulgar and common-place than the surroundings, nothing coarser or more essentially plebeian than the men. Sparrows were the birds here, the prize was beer instead of sovereigns, and the spectators were the roughest of the rough. But they gave their birds a chance, and they had left their womenfolk at home. Sometimes a whole cluster of sparrows escaped scot free, frequently only one or two out of a batch were killed, and no female was in sight. The significance of such pigeon-shooting as we saw at the exquisite Hur 'lngham grounds on Saturday lay in the mur derous certainty with which each aristocratic sportsman fell upon his poor little prey, and the keen relish and dose interest displayed by the de licate, refined, and exclusive crowd of ladies looking on.—Daily News. PROPOSED CLUB FOR WOMEN.—A new develop ment of the dub movement among the wage-paid classes of the community is proposed, with the view of providing facilities for recreation and improvement to the man young women who are shut out from the benefits of ail existing institutions by the exclusive religious character of their regulations. A meeting to consi der the subject will be held on the 20th instant, at the School of Art, in Newman-street. . A CHILD KILLED ON THE MID-KENT RAlL way.—Last evening Mr. Payne held an in Alfred quest at Guy's Hospital, on the body ofChance Hannam, an infant one year and five months old. George Hannam, station-master at Beckenham Station, said that he lived with his family at that station. The deceased was his son. On Monday last deceased got out to play With an elder brother. At five minutes to one o'clock witness was going in to dinner when, in psesingalong,he caught sight of his ohild lying across one of e "four foot" rails ne►r the station, and before he had time enough to get to deceased the five minutes to one train came along and passed over him. The child was picked up after the accident and was taken to the hospital where one arm was found to have been torn off, and it had received other injuries from which it died on Tuesday. The jury returned a verdict of "Aaoi dental death," and added that a fence should be put up to prevent children getting on the line. Tus TaAmEs.—The fishing this season is the best that has been known for years. The following return of a day's sport is an example :—A few days since Mr. Gray and Mr. Artus, two.of the best roach anglers on the river, took three barbel. twentydozen (Loa, and four damn roach, many of the latter exceeding lb. in weight. They fished in the deeps at Twickenham. An angler on chore close to the boat-house captured • bail:gel, weighing 4 lbs., the same afternoon. The sneers generally have had great success and there have been many instances of from twelve to fifteen dozen taken by one punt daily. There are plenty of barbel in the river this season. The Thames Angling Preservation Society have staked the river during past years, and it is owing to the exertions that have been made by them that the anglers are getting such good sport. The society is doing • very useful work. - TUE WEantri AND OBOES IN SCOTLAND.—The country is (observes the Ayr Advertiser), under the in fluence of one of the most searching droughts that boa been experienced within the memory of middle-aged men. We do not suppose that heavy land has been more rent since 1826. The pastures are very touch embrowned on light coast Lind; and on rocky or gravelly soils in the lute rice or of county ; oats are stinted ; green cavil are making no progress. Water is Karoo on many farms where such a want is seldom felt, The channels of Amman are dry, and farmers are looking wistfully for rain. Of the crops, wheat alone has not suffered during the week. ft has bad a choice blossoming season, and the earliest in • tilling with as sound an ear as we have ever seen. With the exception of deep rich land, the bulk of straw is much under an average. The oat crop se gtetag way rapidly on light and also on thin heavy land. The crop in general has run rapidly into ear when it is scarcely covering the ground. Mae must now be a great deficiency of straw, and oats in an early season are not likely to compensate for stinted growth by an extra pro. duoe of grain. The weather has been favourable for hay- • making, The general crop is light, arid there sem to be a sure prospect of another winter of scarce provender foe cattle. The reports of the early potato crop are the wont we Jam ewer had in the sewed week of July.
