*parting Entelat! 11Tte. THE DERBY WEEK AT EPSOM. TO THE EDITOR OP THE EIPRFRR. Ettit,—Derby dreams, Derby sweeps, Epsom hampers, D'hlstourriel's hock, the Rake's head, Van Am. burgh's whereabouts—these arc the national questions for the time being, John Bull having this week given himself up to the spirit of the turf, and for a few brief hours forgotten all his other pleasures or pains. To "horsey" England, the Derby of '67 has long been a source of trouble, use old favourite after another having " gone," till et last there was only The Rake and Mai keinan left to depend upon ; hence the fortner'eblool-letting, on the very eve of the nice, caused almost as much grief us though another St. 1: irtholotnew massacre had occurred, and no " Reuter" from across the seas could have created a grafter sensation than the tebetninis from Newmarket, announcing his heel:dug of a blood-vemeL But the great event might be reduced almost to a walk over—like the Oaks of h riday seat—without losing any of its interest in the eyes of the million who make the Derby day their carnival, and who care no more about the quality of the competitor, than do the patrons of the meeting on Moulsey Hunt. They would go to see The Rake, Hermit, Plaudit, Dragon, Teraina, and D'Estournel contest the Blue Riband against Vauban, Van Aniburgh, Julius (three most contemptible personages at the close of last year's running), Marks anti, and Grand Croce, if they were a hundred times e `safe ;" and have much less fear of the fatal " two days at Bath " than the skyey influences on the eventful morning. Critics, however, saw much to employ their faculties over on the Lanedown, where Van Amburgh, until lately stable companion to The Rake, made the Danebury lion look very mild by his defeating Wroughton fourteen lengths and three-quarters further than did Vauban at Newmarket, People could not believe 'their eyes when they saw the scarlet jacket beaten all the way ; but it is remarkable that Vauban has become a better favourite since, excuse as we may his apparent deteriora tion, and the bold auseburyite who took 6 to 4 about him Ea kindly on Saturday could hardly have thought there was such a hone as Van Amburgh in the Derby. Who Relight the latter is a query not yet clearly settled up, there being many who doubt whether Lord Durham has become his purchaser, or that ho has been sold at all. If he has, his new party must have sent a lot of money Into the market to back him, as he came with a rush :simulta neously with the reports of his transfer, in despite of the assertions of The Rake's that their pet was 12th the better home. How many more changes are to occur before 3 p.m. on Wednesday it is impossible to guess, and the Craven may bnn; about more than one flare-up, if Moulsey, Knight of the Crescent, SI atheonan and Sultan enter and start for it, the former baring tried Marksman so well as to make them take 7 to 1 about the yellow boy. This event will open the meeting on Tuesday, when we shall have a glorious afternoon's sport, the Woodoote being quite a juvenile Derby, and a very open rave, unites , . there is a " clipper " in the " dark " division, the b est of the thirty public hones among the eighty rube. being pretty well .together. They are Lady Hightliorn, Speculum, Balsam, Forest King, Lord Pal : mereton, Hatchniest, Cork Ja cket, and Liotor, and the Lord and the Lady stay so well, that it should be a fight between them, though the filly has done the best hitherto ; but if the money recently put upon Michael de Bane for the Derby of 1868 is not thrown away, he should beat all such form as this, and even in his absence the new lights may outshine the old, Baron Rothschild—whose good time is coming on—having two slashing colts already ' at Epson, called Restitution and King Alfred. The . Heathoote Plate is another extremely n event, some rare fl yers being in the list, includin g, Ormatiury, Ohtreger, Nike, and Queen of Trumps, who can fairly settle the point now which ought to have won the Badminton at Rath, had all got off on even terns. I have an (minion that Cranbury will bike some heating again, great as is my respect for - Xi • but little Griniston never had a better chance to distin guish himself, being just the sort of two - year - old to run old ones at weight for age. His bowling over all the above-named with Knight of • the Garter, Seam, Skipper, Icicle, Salliet, Mr. Pitt, Ninny, and Veda, will be no surprise ; and with Timaru ' out of the way, as intended at present, he may just about win. The Tattersall's Handicap will bring out a hot one from Newmarket, Sweet Anne being turned loose, as is also • Wadlow's Honeymoon, both of which four-year-old, how ever, might have to knock under to Knight of St. Michael, who can just get the course. There is a better class of hence in the Rona Handicap, oue mile, and hence Sweet Anne does not appear quite so threatening, even with a lighter wakdat, such ti.ings as Seringarestam, Bmdamante, and Lady Rosehill being more to my liking, the first-named only requiring to be in his best fonu to win. Several of the homes engaged in the events above enumerated are in the two plates that help to fill up the card fur the grand day, so that to deal with them now would be premature, and the two other minor affairs fur Wednesday have not closed yet. The Derby field, for all the accidents that have hap , paned to the cracks and the threatened hardness of the course, will be a large one, the umhrmentioned all being spoken of by their own parties as likely to perfonn : 11..rse Jockey.

Delsnistrre's. The jockey arrangements, too, may be altered. as Custance Is not certainto ride the Hermit, he having been spoken of as the pilot of The Rake until this unfortunate cams to grief, whilst until the rumours of Van Amburgit's sale went abroad Chsloner was to have tooled him. However, these are matters that will not be . . . definitely settled until'the morning of the race--even then the official card will not be correct—and they are not of primary importance, Dragon, D'Estournel, Fitz-Ivan, Grand Cross, Gipsy Ring, Hermit, Julius, Marksman, Plaudit,The Palmer,The Rake, Vauban, and Van Amburgh, requiring only to be good enough in themselves for their pilots to be quite capable of steering them home. This baker's dozen art carrying what is called the " best money," and to them the MOe will be mainly confined, the " dark " Beanstalk, Master llntterfly, and Thornapple giving no signs that they will follow in the footsteps of kiavemake or Blair Athol ; nor does the handiaip form of Roquefort and Tynrdale, respectable as it is, give them much chance of troubling the winner, whatever it might be ; nor may Taraban's alteration enable him to show Met yet the flint-chute qualities he was supposed -to postale before his disgrace at Newmarket. De►ling with the above-named thirteen, I will first take in hand the doubtful custamers—D'Estournel, Hermit, Plaudit, and the Rake. having come to such grief this spring that even their starting has been doubtful. D'Estournel and The Rake were set down as " dead settled" only forty sight hours ago ; but it appears that the lameness of Mr. Ravile's colt on Friday was only temporary, be having taken a good gallop on Saturday, wherein he showed so little of his al temper that his friends have greater • hopes than ever of seeing him run up to his two-year old form. The Rake, again, is not quite gone, and if he does not break out again (a mishap, however, that is but too probable) he may yet win the Derby, there being no question about his public form being the best in the race, whilst his great superiority to Van Amburgh when the two were together made the Mexican blues confident they had a " certainty" upon Hermit and Plaudit going out of favour, especially after the lion king's doings at Bath. Hermit may be eat down as done with, be having been stopped in his work for many day.. and being a great deal worse off than Plaudit, who since the Two Thousand has hail some good gallops on his new ground, and is even looked forward to in some quarters as a amend Daniel (O'Rourke). Dragon, Grand Cross, and The Palmer, whose in-and-out running last year was so perplexing, ere - said to have been beaten in their trials at last, and to be melees, the overthrow of the Lagrange pair in the French Derby being dead against Dragon ; nevertheless, the Cron atilt has its followers, and I must say no Derby of the past few years looked more like a eurnrise than the forthcoming, though whether we are to have one of The Wizard's staggerers is not quite as palpable. Fits-Ivan and Gipsy King we have never seen the best of no doubt. and whilst the latter has done all he was asked in a trial with the Chester Cup victims, the Irishman is mid to have shown all the improvement he gave signs of making when stripped after his second in the City and Suburban. Bqt any poor benighted " prophet " who looked beyond the four cracks—Vauban, Msrksman Julius, and Van Ainlourgh—for the winner would be called a maniac, and certainly it does not wear on paper that anything beyond the Rake's revival, or the chapter of accident., can jeopar dise their chances. The doings of the lot are too well known to require retapitulating.and the way the three first-named can home for the Two Thousand (in the oiler enumerated, with about two lengths between each) is fairly represented by the betting, albeit Marksman's good trial with Moulsey, and the mhsegnent running of Julius with Lord Lyon, have raised. hopes that the running on the Rowley Mile 'might be reversed. Van Amburgh finished even a long way behind the three, but no notice could be taken of this, his defeat of Rescue for the Dee ; next, his gallant win at atasot ; and, finally, the overthrow of Wronghton, quite putting it in the shade. The last-named perform ance made him read a much superior colt to Vauban, who, on the other hand, has been backed for so much money nines that his party must know better (Wrought= cm 'tainly looked light and bad last Tuesday) ; and not liking 'the mystery that surrounds Van Amhurgh, or caring to trust 111 two customers that have so often run shifty, I am compelled to fall lack upon the favourite for the winner, and tiegire fur VAUBAN. After the InsiCe and turmoil of the Derby-day, the sport on Thursday will be quite enjoyable, and the present promise of it is fair, two of the five items made up bang interesting, and the four to close pretty certain of good entries. For the Two Year•ohl Stakes quite a string of celebrities will join issue, Lady Slizabeth, Grimston, Blue Gown ! Ninny, Weather Isle, Idaho, Eleouura, King Al fred, Lady Highthorn, Balsam°, and Hatchment, being a nice lot to run half a mile ; and as only the four laijt named arc in the Woodcote, the contest is sure to be in teresting. My ideas at present point to Lady Elizabeth, she having given Blue Gown equal to Mb when they met at Buth, though Sir Joseph's magnificent colt will be all the better for the extriteight days' work, and was, withal, dis appointed on that mission. Tuesday'. and Wednesday's re sults hal better be awaited before the Grand Stand Cup is meddled with, tempting so Midwife may be now, for there are Rama, Sealskin, anti Knight of the Crescent or War to look after, and Dunaany is sure to like the Derby course. The Four-Year-Old and Shirley Stakes are re duced almost to walks over already, Artesian being the only one under orders to. the find named •, and Ailesbury is the best to back for the match. In Friday's list there is the He:alley Stakes waiting for Ninny, and the Oaks for Colonel Pearson's filly, apparently, the following being the lot that will probably oontest the ladies' race : vreFllb. Jockey. Tilly. Jockey. Achievement .... Cartence (rponax ll. Covey) Arapelle Sounceas ay .... Maim Romping Gld Bumbleklte FM...Men Seville Hlppta Mannrlta Mader Hail Taking last year's performances as s line, Hippie should be second, and Seville. blanuella, and Arapeile next to "The Wonder;" but Mr. Graham's horses seem so out of form that it will not do to trust Mannella, and the " iru proved" Bumblekite ain't take her plane, though Aen Er 'Naar may win so easily that after the second money is secured (by Hippie?) the best may not persevere. The dyer is in the Foal Stakes, but is pretty certain not to start, and Mr. Porter might pick up the hundred with Newland.—l am, Sc., METEOR. TATTERSALL'S-BArimpAy. The last day of what may he termed " Tattersall's week" wee signalised by a strong muster of members. The iinwnfall of The Rake, apart from monetary considerations, appeared to exorcise • depressing itithienre over speculation generally, and the sect deut. t gether with its COWWClllellrell, formed the theme of ge neral discussion. As regards the proceedings of today generally it was noticeable that wagering was chiefly contlnel to the three first maned horses in the quotations, and this narrowing of the range of speculation Is not to be wondered at, when it is remembered that some heir-dome candidates. once occupying a prominent position, have been sent to the risht about. Of the leading three Iwt bed this afternoon, Vauban maintained his exalted position with characteristic tenacity. At first hackers steel out for: too, imt as these odds were obtainable In rare in stances, the Rum:torten of the favourite subsequently waived all niceties of pints, and accepted 6 to 4, several hundads being invested at the figure. As much as 2to 1 was also laid on him for a place, and it Is beyond a question that the confidence re peal la the Donebury representative Is as hearty and unstinted is tt can well hs. In the early part of the afternoon Van Amburgh was In considerable request, and hacked for large sums at 6 to 1, but when this had ban accomplished he somehow hung tire, and his friends were aught but reassurod bye weU known speculator stepping forward and offering 7 to 1 against the " Lem-tamer." 7 his offer was accepted to £5O, and the hacker offered to take 700 to 100, hut the layer declined to go tm, and the horses quotation finally became 01 to 1, offered. Merles • man, who had " conic with a rattier at the clubs lie the morn ing. was also In stronstilemand here. At hest 8 to 1 was laid. then?}, sad ultimately?l to 1, the investments at each of these stage* being heavy and numerous, anti the total outlay could have fallen little short of £5,000. Julius was not wanting friends, but they did not seem to fancy the price offered ; 15 to 1 was now and then laid, but If 1000 to 00 could have been had, it would have been taken three or four times. As a matter of coarse The Rake afforded food for much epeculatlon, and all acrd of picas were laid and taken, commencing at 100 to 7, and extending to 180 to 4. At 20 to 1 a considerable aumiwt was in vested, hut as the odds were taken In the majority of instances by bookmakers, the transactions can scarcely he regarded as for any other than hedging purposes. The d o sing offer against Mr. Pryoes colt was 16 to 1, and he left off with a very unhealthy look. Grand trees anti Dragon were alike, friendlesa at their respective quotations, while D'Esiouniel and The Palmer occupied Identical positions at 1000 to 30 taken and offered. The two unfortunates, liermit and Plaudit, were laid against at 40 to 1 and 50 to 1. and WWI to lb was booked in favour of Roquefort and Fits Ivan. The two rernaiulng transactions ware the booking of tutu to 15 about Trneadero, and 1000 to 5 Owaln Gleudwyr. elates priers as follow: BETTING AT MANC: DS 7 to 4 apt Vauban ft& or, lx to 2 Van Arnburgb ( l i k en 10to 1 Mirlunsari (t, 10 to 1 The Bakctand off} 1.1u1,11 ~r d ff untAtaan TUILBUAT.

The fine morning tempted large numbers to visit Epsom yes terday, and there were more people present on the downs than have been known for many years on the "'nude) , previous to the Derby. The course Is in capital order, and well covered with balsam. The new enclosure between the Grand Stand and liar nani's Stand forms the great feature In the improvements on the aurae, and the thanks of the raring public, and in fact all w eas having business to transact at Kpsom Yarn, are due to Mr. Briscoe, M.P., the lord of the manor. for allowing the ground to be turned to so useful a purpose. lin this space a temporary building has been erected, comprising two rooms 20 feet loosen for weighing and lockers rooms, and in front of this, Insane down to the course, a spare 90 feet by 45 feet wW be avail able for an unsaddling paddock, into which the drat three horses In every race will be admitted, and thus relieved from the pressure of the crowd. The alterations have been inspected by Chief Superintendent Walker, of the A dlvi dun of Metrepolitan police, and he has reported thereon to Sir Iticliard Mayne, recommending an addition.' force, by reason of the larger area which will be under charge of the polies. It la needless to state that these suggestions will be acted upon, so that there shell be no hitch whatever in the business arrange ments. Conapicnous also among the improvements is a shed in Mr. Heathcae's paddock, to be used for =Ming In case of bad weather. There was very little iudication yesterday in the town itself of the near approach of the great week, but on the course all was life mid motion. Among the arrivals up to yesterday morning ware Master Butterfly, and Lord Hastings and Baron Itothschilde la of four, constitute of Hippie, Jasper, Restitu tion, and King Alfred. These were early out on the downs, end did some gentle exercise. Plaudit, Strathcouan, and Lozenge have also arrived. John Wooers lot of eight, including Grand Cross and Knight of the Crescent, reached their quarters at Leatherhead on Saturday . The indications of a brilliant meeting are more than usually encouraging, and floe weather alone will be required to render next Wednesday the great national holiday of the sport-loving people of Angland.

A letter to the President from Mr. B. Samuelson, M.P. for Banbury, was read : it was dated, " House of Commons, May 3," and said—" I thank you for your circular. You will no doubt have seen my amendments to the Factories Act Extension Bill, the effect of which was to bring all factories, by easy stages, under that bill, thus obviating the objection that at present there are not inspectors enough, nor persons having the requisite qualities for fill ing that position. The bi ll has, however, been referred to a select committee, which is probably equivalent to defer ring it till next session. I have always had great satisfac tion in promoting any measure which may give protection to young persons, and afford en opportunity to children of acquiring at least the rudiments of knowledge." The fol lowing resolution was paired That, in the opinion of this council, the action taken by the small section of ma nufacturers, requesting Mr. Bright to ask that the Fac tories Act and Workshops Bill may be referred to a Select Committee, has placed this town in an unfair position, and it is entire ty opposed to the interests of the people." The following letter was also read:—" 6, New York street, Ardwick, Manchester, May 11, 1867.—Mr. Bateson, —Sir, I have no doubt but that you are aware that a dis pute has occurred between the journeymen tailors of Lon don and their employers, over what is termed a time log, or time allowed for making garments, Sze.; but the masters have deserted the first cause of the dispute, and are now trying their utmost to break up our union, by sending de putations through the country to persuade employers to lock out their men, and break up the union. We have UM) men out at present in London alone, and our fellow tradesmen are out in Darlington, Middlesboro', Belden stall, Carlisle, Cowes, and Ryde, Isle of Wight, and Bud ' derafield. But our appeal is on behalf of the association in London; if, therefore, your association deems our case deserving of your attention, and by granting Mr. Wardell, of Birmingham, whatever sanction and assis tance you can on his mission, you will greatly oblige, and not only that. but by this act help to strengthen trades' unions generally; for at the present, when trades' unions are so prominently before the public, one union cannot suffer without affecting in some degree the whole. I may state the trades' councils of Manches ter, Sheffield, Derby, and other places, are favourable to our cause, and sympathetic meetings are being held. This will have • moral influence that will do us an amount of good in preventing the lock-out proposed by the masters. Any assistance that you may have it in yam power to give will be remembered by • grateful trade.—Yours, PETER SHORROCER, Secretary Amalgamated Society of Journeymen Tailors."

The greatest activity prevailed at the clubs to-day, comparing end speculating dividing the interest, result • yen' busy Morn lag. A lame *mount of money was again Invested on Vauban, and the highest offer at one time was 6to 4 ; subsequently, how ever, 7 to 4 was laid, and there odds were offered at the &dab. in the early part of the day Van Ambuogh found supporter@ at 5 to 1, but a point more was afterwards laid aod'offere‘L Marks man came with a decided rush, outlays succeeding each other in such quick succession that he soon reached ti to 1, and even at this price niet with ready supporters.

In previous years the Sunday immediately preceding the Derby has been productive of considerable speculation, and some startling and portentous doings have taken place on that day. The present anniversary, however, was iingnlarly devoid of any marked movements, and It was generally remarked that things , were unprecedentedly dull and slow. The exceeding firmness of the ' favourite was again made manifest,. 700 to 400 would haw been taken In ea* bet. end the same odds were asked for over and over again; layers, however, limited their offers to 65 to 40, at which' gone seine business revs transacted, while many objected to advance beyond oto 4. In further confirmation of the high favour with which the Duke of ileanforts cult is regarded, It ' may be noted that one noble speculator laid as much as 1000 to 410 en his being one of the first three. Van Amburghls opening pope war 6 to 1, at which odds a " pony" was invested : but very shortly afterwards 100 to 15 was offered, and this was taken several times. The only effect of this support wan to make the hone a worse favourite, for after • brief interval.? to 1 was offered, sod being but feebly responded to, theprice was proffered to 'mane. 1111.1 could have been had to lancet any amount. The strong feeling that prevailed in favour of Maziratnan lesterday appeared to have quite died mit to-day, for the repented offers of 7 to 1 were received with silence, and no attempt was made to back him. Janus had an Improving appearance, 1,500 to 100 was taken Ia one bet, and subsequently too to 7 was accepted several thus. Thereinto also a general desire to back him for • "situation," Ito 1 being readily accepted and asked for. The Rake was again at all sorts of prima, as much &sag to 1 was Lod in the first instance, then 2.5's and Kea were taken, and finally 100 to 6 was the highest offer. while 20 to 1 would have been accepted. Meanwhile • signal Blur was thrown on his pretensions by laying 500 to 100 against his being one of We first five. Perhaps the horse most baskod of any thing was The Palmer, who, at 25, ttl, and 20 to 1 wee supported to win some £B,OOO or £lO.OOO. Dragon met with an occulting Mead at Mtol, so did kraturnel at the same price : while Dlatournel and Roquefort coupled were backed at 1500 to CO. Grand Crum was twice laid agannt at 1000 to RD, and lire fifties were booked about him for a place, although he afterwards re ceded to 6to 1 offered. " Poor Pl►udit" had quite a refring time of It : 40 hundreds were hooked about Min to win, arid 10 hundred for a place. Subsequently, however, one speculator boldly laid ROO to 40, and the quotation thou became 50 to 1 offered. "The Squires" horse, Gipsy King, was backed at 1000 to te, and layers were desirous of going on at this price, there being at the aims time a counter proposition to accept 1000 to 15. Hermit took another step downward, offers of OS to 1 failing to end takers; whllethe onee.talked.of outsider, Pitt-Ivan, made no sign at 10115 to 14 offered. The last noteworthy transaction was the laying of 1000 even on Vauban getting 'a Diane for the Derby and Achievement winning the Oaks.

Attention is being called to this subject by its undoubted outbreak in London during the last few days. In answer to Mr. Mitford Lord It. Montagu stated that there were no less than nine infected places in the metro polis. The government baying received intelligence that the disease is rife in many parts of Germany, have been compelled again to resort to restrictive measures. By an order of the Lords of the Council, from and after Wednes day next " no cattle are to be brought to the metropolitan market, exposed for sale, or sold there without a license," or " moved out of it to any place within the metropolis, except with a pass." It will be very satisfactory if these measures prove efficacious; yet there are person. who more than question such a result. They hold that the disease being so prevalent in countries from which we are daily importing, the re-introduction of infected cattle is certain. " These," they maintain, " should not traverse a yard, much less " Wby not," say they, " slaughter and market them where they are disembarked?" But this, of course, necessitates the establishment of another market, and who is to provide one? CHARGE OF FORGING AND UTTERING BILLS OF EXCHANGE. At the Mansion-house, on Saturday, Adolph Goldstein. an elderly man of the Hebrew persuasion, de sinibed as being • commission agent, residing at Albert terrace, Tredegar-road, Bow, was brought up in custody, and charged before the Lord Mayor with feloniously forging and uttering, on the 17th February last, two bills of ex change for the payment respectively of 78!. 16e. and 78!. Its., one purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Leachkan and Co., of St. Mary-axe and Paris ; one upon and pur porting to be accepted by William Parkor and Co., of 83, Lower Thames-street; and the other by Henry Buedel and Co., of No. 150, Leadenhall-street. Mr. Mullens, solicitor to the London Bankers' Asso ciation, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Montagu Willi tins, the barrister, instructed by Messrs. Lewis, of Ely.place, attended on the part of the prisoner. Mr. Mullen', in opening the case, said that its circum stanoes were somewhat singular and peculiar. The bills in question had been remitted to Messrs. Roberta and Co. by the well-known bank of Stuckey and Co., at Sheptun Mallet, in the county of Worcester, and were presented for payment by the first-mentioned firm on the 15th May instant, the day they arrived at maturity. Both bills were dishonoured. They were each drawn in favour of J. E. Woods and Co., and on inquiries being instituted it was ascertained from the alleged drawers that their sig natures were forgeries, and the same reply was received from the acceptors, Parker and Co. and Ruedel and Co. The payee, Mr. J. E. Woods, was then applied so, and from him it was ascertained that, having an occasion for some bills, these and three others, amounting altogether to about 5001., had been procured for sad supplied to him by a Mr. John Robert Simpson, a gentleman well known in the City, to whom the payees paid a commission for his services, as would appear in evidence. This Mr. Simpson, when applied to, stated that he had received the bills in question tram the prisoner, whom, on the discovery of the forgeries, he had given into custody. After several witnesses bbd been examined, Mr. Mullens intimated that this was as far as he was Frepared at present to go with the evidence, and be there. ore now asked for a remand. Mr. M.Williarnsaaid that his case was that these bills bad Krinnocently into the prisoner's hands, as he should, It instructed, be able to show on a future occasion. The Lord Mayor remarked that as far a it had already gone the evidence threw a new light on oommercial trans actions in bills which was wholly unprecedented. Ths subject demanded the fullest investigatami, and with that view the prisoner must be remanded to Thursday nest. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAT.—DIFFORD, SATURDAY NICHT.— An alarming accident happened on Saturday on the above railway at the bridge which crosses the river Avon between Defford and Bckington stations. A goods train left Wm.. meter about nine o'clock for Gloucester, and when within about half a mile of this place the " journal " of a wheel of one of the trucks broke, the consequence of which was that the pair of wheels belonging to it were detached, and the body of the truck dropped on the line. The accident was unobserved by the driver, and the train was dragged in this state about half a mile when it came to the bridge over the river. This bridge is built entirely of iron, and the broken truck dashed against and broke the iron plates of the bridge flooring, and becoming jammed the train was suddenly stopped, some of the trucks were piled on others, and, running off the rails, broke the side parapet rails, and fell into the river. Moat fortunately, however, the engine, with the driver and stoker, had crossed the bridge, and the engine keeping the mile they were unhurt. At this juncture the up express train from Bristol was nearly due, sad as it does not stop between Cheltenham and Worcester., it was feared it would run into the debris of the broken down train, but by the promptitude of the officials the express was happily stopped in time to avert what must undoubtedly have been a most fearful calamity. There were only a few minutes to do this, but happily it was accomplished. Theexpress then returned to Ashehurat, and proceeded on its journey by • detour through Tewkesbury and Malvern, running into the Midland line again at Worcester, and occasioning a delay of two or three hours. In the meantime boats were provided and the trains as they arrived on each side of the river trans ferred their passengers across it, and thus the traffic was carried on until the evening, when the line was cleared, and the traffic over the bridge was re sumed, the night usual train being punctual to its time. The cause of the accident, of course, was the breaking of the " journal," which was literally cut through by friction. This, of course, must have been a work of time, and there appears to have been culp able neglect in per mitting such a truck to traveL e truck belonged to the London and North-Western Company. This portion of the Midland line lies hitherto been remarkably free from accidents, and the trains upon it are run with commenda ble regularity. SUPPOSED MURDER.-011 Friday morning the dead body of Benjamin Black, a gamekeeper in the senior of Sir Hanson Berney, at Barton Bendish, Norfolk, was found near a gate leading into Barton Laws plantation. The death of Black had evidently been caused by gunshot wounds, although when he left his home no gun was in his possession, while no gun was found near him at the spot where his remains were discovered. Under these circum stances there seems too much reason to fear that the de. ceased was wilfully murdered. On Saturdey the Norfolk police were engaged in making minute inquiries into the matter.

WOOLWICH, MAY 19.—1 t has been resolved by the governmeut, in consequence of the success of recent experiments, to form • torpedo corps for the purpose of firing vessels and blowing them up at • period of actual warfare. Several non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Navy are now under the instruction of Mr. Abel, professor of chemistry in the Royal Arsenal, in the art of manipulating, laying down, and firing torpedoed' with gun cotton, which is four times as powerful as powder, and the experiments carried out in the Medway, at Chatham, and the Thames at Woolwich, have been very successful. NAVAL COITIRTB-MAIITIAL.--A court-martial WB5 held at Devonport on Friday, on board the Royal Adelaide guard-ship, in Runtime, for the trial of Peter Donoghue. an able seaman, serving on board the Pallas, on the charges of having, on the 15th of February last, while on shore at ltathmullin, on the northwest coast of Ireland, attempted to leave • boat against the orders, and resisted Mr. Joa. John lil'Cance Colwill, midshipman who endeavoured to prevent priaouer so doing; and with having used highly mutinous and insubordinate language on the same occasion. The court adjudged the charges proved, end sentenced the prisoner to receive 48 lashes, and to be imprisoned for twelve months in the Royal Naval prison at Lewes. Another court-martial was held at Devonport, on Saturday, on board the Royal Ade laide, guardalup, in Haniesze, for the trial of William Thomson, a pnvate of the first class, in the Plymouth division of Royal Merinos Light Infantry, on a charge of having, on May 10, behaved in a highly insubordinate manner in striking his superior officer, Acting Corporal Samuel John Mingo, while in the execution of his duty. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the court sentenced him to be imprisoned foe fifteen months in the Royal Naval prison at Lewes. THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEEIDe Vial? TO ENGLAND. —The royal borough of Windsor is bestirring itself in order to give a proper reception to the Belgian volunteers upon the occasion of their anticipated visit to this coun try. In accordance with the suggestion of the central committee, it is proposed to entertain the Belgian volun teers when they visit Windsor, and • number of gentle men have already subscribed towards a fund for the pur pose of reciprocating the hospitality of the Belgians and their King to the English volunteers when they visited Brussels last year. A public meeting is to be held in the Town-hall in order to make arrangements and provide funds for the purpose. Mr. W. Mason, of Windsor, is the honorary secretary for the time being. Mr. Giovannelli, the proprietor of the Alexandra Theatre and the Highbury Born Gardens, an old member of the Hon. Artillery Com pany, has placed his theatre and gardens at the disposal of the Belgian Reception Committee, for the entertain ment of the Belgian volunteers, and has expressed his de sire to give a grand gala night, with a display of fire works, in honour of the visitors. lie has also contributed five guineas to the general expenses of the committee. THE POLICE COURT& BOW.STREET. Geome Edward gurney. formerly a constable of the R division of police, the keeper of a beer-shop, the Earl of Cardigan, Mar lborongh-road, Chelsea, was charged with having attempted to corrupt Mr. Robert Tubbs, chairman I of the Kensington bench of magistrates, by sending him • sum of 4W. Gurney's application for a spirit license has been repeatedly refused. He applied again this year, and the case was to have been beard on the 19th March. About eight days previously he wrote and delivered at Mr. Tubb.' house a letter containing four 10/. notes, which was to the following effect:—" Honoured 84,—Trusting that you will not feel offended, but pardon the very great liberty, having struggled very hard in my house for eleven years to main tain my family, and without any complaint from the police ; honoured air, if you will take my case into your very kind consideration, and be my friend, at the coming licensing day, and fur which will be ever most gratefully felt by your very obedient servant, G. E. Gurney, Earl of Cardigan, Marlborough-road, Chelsea." On the 10th April another letter by poet, of which the following is a ropy :—" April Bth, 1867. Honoured humble beg that you will pardon this liberty. The object I have in writing is to ask your honour whether you received my letter and the contents on the Bth March, that I left at your house. Honoured sir, I hope you will pardon this free dom. I am, honoured sir, your very obedient, humble servant, George E. Gurney, Earl of Cardigan. Marlborough road, Chelsea. To Robert Tubbs, Esq." This letter con tainedan envelope stamped and directed to the prisoner, with the view, as counsel for the prosecution coutentled, that the 41W. might be returned, the licence not having been granted. When apprehended Gurney admitted having written and sent the letters, but he did not con sider that he had done anything wrong. The magistrate remanded him for further examination.

COTTON GOOlYlL—MaNcimsTatt, MAY 18.—We have had quiet but steady market during the whole week. The large speintlatlons of cotton lc Liverpool have kept prices fully up to the quotatlous of bust week, and the firmness Were has reacted on this market. Buyers have not operated freely, but a fair business In the aggregate has teals effected during the week. Yarns are quoted at very full prices, and in some instances buyers have had to give a shade higher rates. The purchases have embraced most kinds ,if shipping as well as home trade yarns, and a larger business would probably have been done but for the check which full prices have interposed. Some fair offers were made yesterday for yarns suitable to China, timid T cloths were In demand yesterday, at full rates, and a fair busi ness wsa done. In tulle ehirtings sellers have a difficulty In operating at full quotations, though business could be done at a shade lens. The sides have consequently been limited, and to day we fad the market quiet, but steady.

Plain cloths and all-wool fancy coatings in dark shades have been chiefly inquired for, but the transfer has not been large ; other departments hare beep quiet, and nothing worthy of notice has transpired. The white market has also presented a general want of animation. flair lists continue to be but sparingly transferred, and the Inquiries for heavy goods hare not heen so extensive as should he expected at this period. Hates have been well sustained, though In some Instances sales bare been eagerly made. WOOL AND WOUSTED.—Baanroan, Mai 18.—The im provement noticed on Thursday continues to the end of the week.

There la a acarelty of enpply, and this causes much more inquiry of VaTi..WI dealers than would otherwise be the came, end consequently tends to give an ap pearance of a greater demand than there actually Is. The heat evidence that there Is little difference in quotations recently current is the fact that aphiners can buy at last week's rates. In some special VIM.. where a sort Is difacult to meet with, a rather better price may be obtained. Deep grown wools, with quality. loth hog and wetter, continue chiefly In demand. There has been a slight Improvement in worsted yarns, chiefly on foreign account. The sorts most In demand have been 30's and 40's, geuappe two--folds 40a, and low primal super 30's.
