NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY. To-day all but the most predetermined scientific members and associates became tourists for awhile. Several of the sections did not sit, and some of them only gave themselves an hour or an hour and a half, to satisfy, perhaps, the conscientious scaujeles pinny who have resolved to have no break in the feast of science and the flow of abstruse dissertation. Excursions were the order of the day, and crowds of visitors and not a few of the townsfolk went away into regions more or less re mote. Most of the places that were to be examined were quasi-scientific ; the objects which were to be examined being mineral or mechanical. Thus there were to be seen coal-pits at Nuthall, collieries at Annealey, more coal-pita at Eastwood ironworks, and still mere coal-pits at Alfreton and Riddings, and the engineering works of the Midland Railway at Derby. In the midst of this rather " black " programme stood out in romantic relief an an nouncement that Newatead Abbey, " formerly the residence of Lord . Byron," was open to a visit on an invitation _from W. F. Webb, Esq. To this party one attached oneself, and in due time de ysarted • by train of the Midland Railway on a route' by which the most picturesque view of Nottingham (and it has more than one picturesque point of view) is to be seen, through pleasant meadows, studded with trees, which were taken to be relics of Sherwood Forest ; past neat villages, and all the softer features of • midland county ; until a new station, about a mile from the l gates of Newttead, was • reached.. There the company diaembarked, - and proceeding, along what was apparently a new road way bordered by young trees, which will form a ' magnificent avenue for the posterity of the writer of the demesne, through a wind ing and • undulating pathway, sometimes •ithisded with lofty and wide-spreading trees, .10w fringeil, with shrubberies, with here a water fall said there a gentle stream, with a certain suddenness the front of the Abbey of Newstead, standing on the margin of a lake of considerable size, came into view. It is hardly, if at all neces sary to describe the building, and it may suffioe to say that externally the character and peculiar features of the structure in all their detail are scrupulously preserved. Passing into the vesti bule which is studded, not only with Byronic relics, but plentifully laid about with animals, which have gone through the usual taxidermical process, which fell before the unerring gun of Vebb during that visit to Africa which has given him a place amongst the explorers of that region, the grand staircase was reached. This leads into one of the four corridors which pass round the whole quadrangle of the mansion ; and thence the grand saloon is reached. At the door way of this magnificent apartment the visitors were met and welcomed with a most gracious courtesy by Mr. and Mrs. Webb. It was in the nature of things a mixed assemblage, and of necessity the great bulk of those who availed themselves of the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Webb were personally unknown to them, but each individual was received with a kindly and genial greeting, such as might have been expected to have been bestowed only on intimate friends. Here were assembled the nu merous permanent guests at the Abbey, and many of the notabilities of the county. Amongst them were to be observed the Duke of St. Albans, Lord Helper, Lord Milton, M.P., Viscount and Vis countess Amberley, Lord and Lady Edward Clinton, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. B ernal Osborne, M.P. Sir Roderick Mur chison, Sir Samuel and Lady Baker, Professor Philips,Sir W. Armstrong, Sir J. Bowring, and Ds. Robertson (local secretary), under whose careful direeition the excursion was organised. The em r were then entertained on a spl • at luncheon in the noble hall. At a• conclusion of that which was literally a banquet, Sir Roderick Murchison in appropriate terms proposed the health of Mr. and Mrs. Webb; and this dutiful compliment was acknowledged by Mr. Webb in a speech of much aptitude for the occasion. The visitors then dis persed over the building, the full and' free range of every part of which was afforded to them. With a large party of guests staying in the house, of course many, and probably all, of the " Show " bedrooms were appropriated to ordinary uses • but those to which were attached any intere st, or . which contained specimens of antique fur loishing and garniture, were thrown open to inspection, and in several instances the tem porary occupants were so good as to do the honours in person of their mediaeval dormitories. The first of the bedrooms to which every one turned was that of Lord Byron, which, with the dressing-room attached, remains exactly in the same state as when he last occupied it. Here a learned professor, the president of one of the sections, had taken up his rest at nights, and some of his belongings which were lying about, if they somewhat diminished the abstract romance of the association of ideas, gave a realistic air of habitation to the room, which might have given the imagination a new turn. The same may be said of the Charles 11. Room, the Ed- ward 111. Room, and the Sussex Room, which were all in a state of pristine preservation, the antique features being toned down by the outward and visible signs of actual and present occupation. In a word, it may be said that, down to the minutest detail, the original character of the mansion—at least as Byron left it—has been religiously retained ; and where restoration has been absolutely neces sary, it has been carried out with a scrupulous ad herence to the pervading character of the place. As an instance of the care with which the Byronic relics are watched and tended, it may be mentioned that the branch of the tree on which Lord Byron inscribed his own name and that of his sister on his last visit to Newstead, the letters of which were becoming indistinct and poising away by lapse of time, has been felled, and the block enclosed in a glass case, which is placid conspicuously in a place of honour in one of the corridors. Again, with equal care are pre served the foils, single-sticks, and boxing-gloves which Byron last used in those athletic exercises of which he was a professor • and grouped with them is the sword with which his ancestor slew Mr. Chaworth in the duel with which everyone is familiar. When the Abbey had been exhausted from within, the guests spread themselves over the spacious and exquisitely arranged grounds and ter races. The tomb of the famous dog Boatswain (whose picture, by the bye, is in the Edward the Third bedroom) in the garden was of course duly visited •, and from a window looking to the terrace might have been seen a living relic of the bard of Newstead, in the person of a very aged man, named Potter, who was a dependent of Byron, and whose recolle ctions of him, though growing dim, are said to have been comprehensive. As the evening began to close the excursionists, with • "lingering steps and slow," wended their way back through the demesne, carrying away with them pleasant remembrances, combined with special associations with him who has made Newstead famous, and a grateful sense of the kindly and generous hospitalities of the present worthy pos sessors of that manaion. The following is an abstract of the work done by the " faithful " in the various sections : Sacrnow A.—MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCE. This section commenced business on Saturday at 11 o'clock—Mr. Bpottiswoode, M.A. F.R.S., in the chair. Professor Smith read hi s report " On the Theory of Num bers," and divided his subject into three heads for the sake of convenience—congruenees, mathematical theory of homogeneous focus, and all those forms of that theory of numbers which did not mine under other heath. The pro fessor gave an able and lengthy exposition of the subject, and was followed by remarks by Mr. Russell and Mr. • gash The President also remarked that no science illus trated the principle of continuity so much as the greatest of all sciences—mathematics. Professor Maninv read a paper " On Kchirnimusen's Method of Traarfermation of Algebra Equation., and some of its Modern Extensions." A blind man named Shelton, who stated that be came from Carlton, took part in the discussion, stating that he bad solved the fourth degree of equation. Another paper was read by Professor Harley "On Differential bessimmerr in which he stated ChMf Justice , ._.... , 8 4 THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION, 1 -...- , i (wOlll MI CAM 21,03113.)

There were present on, the platform Professor Ad C. Ramsay, the proddent, and Messrs. Pengelley, C. Le Neve Foster, J. W. King, S. R. Pattison, and J. Peacock. The business opened with the reading of a paper, written by Mr. J. F. Walker , "On the Lower Green Land of Bedfordshire." It was not of any great length, and con tained an account of the nature of the land, with an enu meration of the fossils and other substances contained in it..: A few remarks were made upon it by Mr. Le Neve Fester. It did not, however, lead to any further discus sion; A short description followed next "On a change of form and position of land at the south end of the Isle of Walney,"ly Mr. Peacock. SECTION E.—GEOGRAPHY, &c. . his ovation met again on Saturday under the presi dency of Sir Charles Nicholson. There was a considerable attendance. 'A paper by Colonel Goldsmid on Eastern Persia and Western Belooohistan was read by Mr. Markham, s secretarT to the Royal Geographical Society. Colonel Goldsmid is the first Englishman who traversed the country in question, the means of journey therein being, as he describes, scanty and most inconvenient.. Mr. MARKHAM read a paper by Colpnel Tremenheere on the " Physical Geography of the Lower Indus." Mr. J. Erroll read a paper on the various theories of man's past and present condition. He stated that there were three theories by which it was sought to account for the origin of man. The first—that which they had been taught from their infancy—namely, creation by God of men who were a little lower than angels, which he would call the religious 'theory;' the second, which was anta gonistic to the two others, was the Darwinian theory, that man descended from the ape ; and the third was the poly genous theory, which propounded that the primitive men were savages, but lower than any known race of savages, as they could not speak. There were many minor distinctions, but that classification would suffice for a tole rably completereview of the leading theories opposed to the Scriptural one, which differed nereatially from the others in this respect, that it not only held a special creation of man but also that man was not crested a low-cast, speechless savage, but created a man in perfection. All theories re. cognised the fact that there bad been some kind of deve lopment or change in the human family. The chief diffe rences between them related to the origin and character of the primitive man. In one essential particular Dar 'Animism differed from them all, for it began with a human infant which bad not human parents ; but, he would ask, how was the first young mammal nourished in its struggle through life byparents that were not mammals? How was the progeny trained and elevated into man, when we, with all our education, were scarcely able to prevent our masses falling back to a state rather akin to monkeys or brutes ? All that Darwin had proved in his work " On the Origin of Species " was that numer ous varieties of plants and animals were developed within the limits of each particular species. All beyond the pro bable (but not proved) origin of species was a proof in sup port of it. Raving enlarged at great length with great minuteness on these chief features of the paper, Mr. Reddie came to the conclusion that no theory about man or lan guage which we can devise—even with all our after-know ledge of the facts now existing with regard to both — will so well account for all the facts of the case as our old, religious, and time-honoured theory, of man's origin and the confusion of language at Babel. Professor HUXLEY was invited to speak on the subject, and said as president of section D he felt it his duty to say that it comprised a department for anthropology, which was the science embracing everything relating to the past and present condition of men, and if the paper should have been read at all it could have been in that section of which he was president ; he must, therefore, decline to discuss it in this section. In section D there was a whole some system of referring papers, and by which it was decided if there was anything in them new enough or good enough to entitle them to be read ; he could not pledge himself to say that would have been the fate of the paper if it bad been referred. Mr. NASH, president of the Ethnological Society, de fended the reading of the paper in this section, inasmuch as it was not only a geographical but an ethnological section. ~SirJ.Lraax► supported the Darwinian theory, and con tended that there was nothing in science opposed to reli gion, or in religion opposed to science. Mr. CRAWPORD, in one of hie characteristic humorous speeches, condemned the Darwinian theory. Mr. C. Bi.sia and Mr. Frmiows having briefly addressed the meeting, Mr. Ramos replied, and received a vote of thanks for his paper. Mr. F. WHTNTER contributed a paper " On the progress of the Russo-American telegraph expedition vil Behring's Straita." He said—This great enterprise is the work of the Western Union Company of America. In order to make it a success, a large amount of exploration had been found necessary, and this being almost entirely in new or little known countries, would of course add considerably to our knowledge of them. The first officials of the company reached Francisco late in 1864, and some of them at once proceeded to British Columbia to commence the pre liminary exploration. The line had previouslybeen carried through Oregon and Washington territory to New West minster, Fraser River, and the commencement of the new line is at this latter place, which is the embryo capital of British Columbia. and it terminates at the mouth of the Amoor river. The organisation of the first expedition wail not completed until the end of July, 1865. Five vessels, including a screw steamer, were employed to take up the exploring parties, and to leave them at their several destinations, with stores for their subsistence, &a. All returned to San Francisco before the Ist of December. The preparations for 1866 were oil a more extended scale. Seven vessels, one of which is a magnificent clipper ship, ' would be employed in transmitting principally to the coast of Asia men, supplies, and telegraph material. More than' 300 men would go to Kamschatka and Siberia, whilst the line is already constructed for about 700 miles north of New Westminster. By the end of this year about 1,500 miles of wire would be stretched northwards, and other sections of the line commenced. During the first halt of June three vessels left San Francisco. Colonel Bulkeley (an engineer of im mense experience, a colonel in the United States regular army in the corps of engineers, and who was during the late war principally engaged in military telegraphing) was accompanied by Count Ansoff, a Russian commissioner ap pointed by the imperial government to see that every facility was afforded to the expedition. The United States steamer Saginaw would convey a part of the expedi tion, and a Bossism man-of-war was ordered to report to Colonel Bulkeley at Petropauloski for the same purpose. On the deck of the clipper ship Nightingale, the largmt vessel ' of the expedition, two small stem-wheel steamers ' would be carried, which were intended for the navigation of shallow rivers on the coast of Siberia and Russian America. Early this year, in British Columbia. Major Pope explored the country from Lake Tatla to the head waters of Stekin River, and then de scended that giver to the sea, travelling more than 500 miles in snow shoes, and the remainder of the distance (from the bead of the navigation) in a boat. He was ac companied by one white man and two Indians for the greater part of the journey. He described the country north of Tatla Lake as lightly wooded, though there is much prairie and land which is very unlike the greater part of British Columbia. Every facility had been given to the expedition by both the British and Russian colonial governments, and all material for the company's use was everywhere admitted duty free. Samoa G.—MECHANICAL SCIENCE. This section commenced its proceedings at St. George's hall punctually at 11 o'clock, at which hour there was • numerous attendance. Lord Helper and Lord Wrottesley were present. Mr. Hawksley occupied the chair. Mr. Fleming Jenkin, F.R.S., read • paper explaining his " New Arrangement for picking up Submarine Cables." After giving a very lucid description of his apparatus, he remarked that the Telegraph Construction and Mainte nance Company had taken one of his machines on board the Great Eastern, but up to the present time they had not caught hold of the old cable, and he was doubtful whether the machine had been fixed in sufficient time to use this year. He also showed the applicability of parts of the break apparatus to ooal drawing and several other. purpoees.—Mr. Bramwell asked whether a weight or • spring was used, and if the former, whether it did not exercise an injurious effect on the pitch of the vesseL —Mr. Jenkin acid that the weight was adopted, and undoubt edly affected the pitch of the vessel, but it was found to be so alight, compared with the gross weight, that in prac tice it did not deteriorate from the useful of the appa ratus.—The thanks of the section was unanimously voted to Mr. Jenkin for his excellent paper.—Mr. R. Musket's paper on the " Treatment of Melton Iron and its Conver , MINI into Iron and Steel, by the pneumatic process," was read by the Secretary (Mr. P. Le ',./eve Foster), in the un avoidable absence of the author. PCPILIC RECANTATION.—The ordinary course of morning service at Burslem parish church was departed from on Sunday last for the purpose of enabling a convert from Roman catholicism to make a public recantation, and to afford an opportunity of re-baptizing a child of the convert, a the of the mime of Hollamby. In the middle of service Mr. HoUamby presented his child for baptism, when the questions prescribed in the Prayer•book in the case of • child supposed to have been previously baptised were put to him by the rector, the Rev. Dr. Armstrong. Dr. Armstrong baptized it in the usual form, he and his niece acting as sponsors. Mr. Hollamby then requested to be allowed publicly to read his recantation. The rector produced the form of recantation which was sanctioned by the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and used by the rector on numerous previous occasions. This was read aloud by Mr. Hollamby. During these ceremonies the most breathless attention pervaded the church. EXCURSION TRAIN ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. An accident, attended with fatal consequenCee, occurred on Saturday afternoon on the Peterborourh and Fly branch of the Great Eastern system, about a mile and three-quarters from Ely and a mile and a half from Chittisham- stations. Every Saturday an excursion traia leaves London for Imenouth and Lowestoft, and takes up passengers at very moderate fares at the whole of the principal natio:meat the line. This train is due In Ely at 3.25, and out at 3.35. To meet this, and to ►ccommodate residents oil the Peterborough branch, a train leases Peter borough aa2.30, mid on arrival at Ely between the above times, is coupled on to the main train. On Saturday last the train left Peterborough as usual, made up is the fol lowing order :—A powerful tank engine, which had under gone most thorough repair at Stratford within the last two months, - • guard's break (next the engine), • first-class smoking carriage, an ordinary first-class carriage, One second and three third-class carriages. William Brown, an old and experienced band was driving, and • guard named Fuller was in charge. The train passed Wbittlesea, March, and Chittisham stations in safety, and bad taken up about 130 passengers, who were distri buted through the various carriages except the "smoky, " whichwas empty at the time of the accident. All went well until reaching the spot mentioned, which is on • curve of about • mile radius, with a slight up gradient to Ely. On the Ely side, about half-a-mile, is the junction of the Lynn, Norwich, and Peterborough lines with the main line. About half a mile on the Peterborough side of the junc tion is an auxiliary signal, and this was against Brown as he approached, but he " whistled it off," and was proceed ing at the rate of about 25 miles an hour when the train left the metals at or about a spot known as the Adelaide crossing of the Peterborough turnpike road, and close to the auxiliary signal. The engine, break, " amoky," and first-class carriages ran down the bank (here about five feet high) and were heaped upon each other in the adjacent field, quickly changing the scene from one of enjoyment and hilarity into a moment of death, terror, and confusion. Tha,train had been observed rounding the curve by some bystanders, and one of them a moment or so before the •ecident took place, remarked how " beautifully " she was coming along. The alarm being raised, Mr. Barnes, the station-master at Ely, with all available assistance, hastened to the spot. The telegraph was put in requisition to summon some of the head officials, and Mr. Sproul, the district superin tendent, arrived with all speed, followed by Mr. Robertson, the general superintendent, by special train. The scene of the disaster directly after the accident presented an appalling spectacle. The engine lay upon its side partly embedded in the soft earth of the field ; upon this the break had partially mounted ; the " smoky " had shot out and lay upon its side at a short distance, and on the top, or nearly so, of the break and engine the ordinary first class carriage had mounted, and had turned itself com pletely topsy-turvy. The remaining carriages were off th e metals, the wheels embedded in the bank, and leaning towards the field, looked as though the slightest touch with the hand would topple them over after their fellows. The break was literally smashed to atoms. Such passenger. as had escaped from the carriages were grouped round in a state of the utmost consternation. The whole of the available medical assistance in Ely was freely rendered, Messrs. Muriel, Davis, and Cole, surgeons, being engaged in attending to the sufferers. It was soon discovered that the unfortunate driver was killed; he was found pinned down by the hand rail of the engine ; he bad one leg over the hand-rail of the engine, and the other round the pillar of the break ; so it would appear that he was iu the act of jumping off when be met his death ; his ribs were all broken, and portions bad pene trated the heart and lungs, and he had received other severe injuries, so that death must have been instaa. t•ucous. Had he not endeavoured to jump off, he would probably have escaped, for the fireman was found unin jured under and protected by the wind-guard of the engine. The escape of the guard was • miraculous one. He was literally hemmed in in all directions by the remains of hie break. He was with difficulty got out, when it was found one leg was slightly injured, and he was suffering from concussion. He speedily recovered from the latter, however, and pluckily set to work to render what assistance he could. So soon it it was known that the whole of the passengers were collected, the medical inspection resulted in the discovery of the following injured : Mr. and Mrs. Grounds, the landlord and landlady of th e Griffin, Commercial Inn, at March, were in the ordinary first class carriage. They wereremoved to the Lamb Hotel at Ely, under the care of Mr. Muriel. Mr. Grounds is much cut about the head, and severely injured on the back, so much so that on Saturday night paralysis, resulting from concussion of the spine, was feared. Mrs. Grounds is much shaken by the concussion, and bruised and scratched She was insensible for a considerable period, and great fears are entertained in ber case. Miss Coward was on her way from Barnsley to North Walsham. She is suffering severely from concussion, and was in estate of collapse for some con siderable time. She is out about the face, and it was at first feared that her jaw was broken, but such is happily not the case. This lady is likewise at the Lamb, under the care of Dr. Mural, and will be unable to be moved for some time. Mr. John Hills, jun., son of Mr. Hills, wine and spirit merchant of Ely, was returning home ; he was removed to his father's house ; is much bruised and cut, and has received a tremendous blow on the back of the head ; he is suffering in addition from intense nervous ex citement. Mr. John Legge, Jun., son of Mr. Legge, boot maker, of Ely, was returning home ; he was conveyed to his father's house much and severely cut about the head, with the branch of temporal artery severed, and severely bruised. Many of the other passengers were bruised or suffered temporarily from concussion, but not so severely as to prevent their return to their homes, to effect which every facility was afforded by the company. The remains of the driver were conveyed to an adjacent public-house to await an inquest. He was a married man with a family, and resided at Peterborough. He was a careful, frugal man, and reputed one of the best drivers on the line. The fireman was one of the steadiest. The most strict scrutiny has failed at present to reveal the cause of the accident, and it will probably never be known for • certainty. The appearance would lead to one of two conclusions. The first departure from the metals appears to have taken place opposite the auxiliary signal, where one of the rails (which are fish-tail jointed) is broken in four pieces. The sleepers were new twelve months ago, and the wheels of the engines are in perfect order. After the train left the metals it appears to have pro ceeded about 100 yards along the port ballast of the bank ploughing up this, and tearing up the outside rails as it progressed till the engine finally canted over into the field, dragging part of the train after it, and leasing the rest blocking the line up. It is a rule of the company that speed shall be reduced on approaching the junetion, and the guard seconded the driver's efforts in that respect by screwing down the break. Consequently either the rail was defec tive, or the break caused a wheel of the guard's van to " jump the metals:" the break would then leave the line and by side pressure force the engine off. The fact of some of the carriages remaining on the bank is accounted for by the providential breaking of the coupling chains between the guard's van and the " smoky." • So soon as the passengers bad been cared for, the next proceeding was to clear the line, and this by reason of the energetic action taken by Messrs. Robertson and Sproul was effected by an early hour yesterday morning, and the traffic, which in the meantime had been worked past the shattered train on the down line only resumed its ordinary course, the rails having been re-laid. The disabled engine and the carriages in the field are left for the inspection of the coroner and jury and the government inspector. The car riages left on the bank have been restored to their legiti mate uses. The engine is not much damaged, but lies very awkwardly for replacement on the rails. CAMBRIDGE, SENDAT EVENING. To-day some of the sufferers, Mr. and Mrs. Grounds more particabuiy, were reported worse, and additional professional aid being deemed necessary, Dr. Carver, of Cambridge, who is officiating for Dr. Humphry in the absence of the latter, was despatched from Cambridge, at the instance of the company, by special train, about mid day. Vicromax EMIORATION.—We understand that the Red Jacket, which is about to sail in the course of the present week from Liverpool for Victoria, will carry oat a party of a hundred female emigrants, under the su • - Matianoe of Miss Maria S.

THE ZIECUTION AT MANCEITATER. --•__ On Saturday we gave an account, which was necessarily very brief, of the execution of Bureau' at Manchester. We now furnish a more detailed state ment :—The numbers in front of the scaffold began visibly to increase so early as 4 o'clock. By 5 o'clock there were fully 6,000 people assembled, with a slight sprinkling of women amongst them, and the itam• ultimately could not be less than 30,000. It was sad to witness the light and frivolous conduct of mob an assemblage in presence of such an awful spectacle as they had come to winter. For hours the great majority of them behaved much as they would at a wake or fair. The laughter from time to time was of the most boisterous character, and their way of showing humour and droller 7 often took the form of practical jokes. Sometimes men s hats were rudely seised and thrown backwards sad for over the heads of others, till battered and rendered worthless. At each times the contagion for this kind of amusement would spread so rapidly that everyone was led to take off his owti covering in seltdefenee mad multitudes remained for a time bareheaded. At iat ervais some one or two men with switches would common . beating people back sa if to form a ring for prize-fighters, or for some exhibition, and these men would then go round, cap in hand, Io solicit halfpence. Oomionally these frolics nearly resulted in pugilistic encounters, bat such rough pleasantries to relieve the dull monotony of the hour were continually reca • , and the ham and noise of voices would rise at times almost to a roar. About six o'clock the first real relief to the impatience of the people wan afforded by the deer in the prison wall being opened, and the appearance of Calcraft and some work men on the scaffold to make preparation for the drama so many had come to see. The workmen had come, among other things, to enclose the scaffold and drop in a draper black Cloth, and as they commenced operations one man shouted that be wished every one of them might be struck dead " before th' mon was brought out." As the draping progressed„it soon became evident that the cloth would be -carried so high as to afford only a very limited view of what was to take place, and then wild cries of indignation burst forth, which again gave place to shouts of laughter at some slight mischance occurring through the nervousness or clumsiness of the workmen, Then followed an attempt to sing a chorus : .... Glory, glory, Hallelujah ! Zealand is a happy land ; We see all for unity, Old Beelzebub defy And we'll Join the hallelujah band ! This was followed by shouts and laughter because one of the crowd bad successfully bonnetted a policeman. As the time neared eight o'clock great impatience was mani fested, and cries of "hate off," and "time, time," followed. Precisely at eight o'clock the prison door opened and thexnurdarcr,the hangman, and severaloilicialsstepped upon the platform. The murderer was a pitiful object to look at ashe tremblingly stood with his hands raised, and hie eyes directed upwards. By those who stood within • hundred yards of the scaffold little more than his head could be seen above the drapery. All being in readiness, the white cap was drawn over his face, and, one end of the halter being already round his neck, Cslcraft had but to lift the other to a hook on the drop. Then the bolt was withdrawn, and the guilty criminal disappeared behind the drapery. Only the top of his head could then be seen even by people on a level with the scaffold. The whole ceremony in public barely lasted 30 seconds. And this was what people had waited to see through long and weary hours. The people appeared wholly unpre pared for its suddenness, and • shock appeared almost visibly to pass through the whole amens bled mass of people present. A slight scream burst from some of the women, and several people fainted. A man on the leads of the warehouse opposite the gaol sunk down in a fit, and blankets bad to be passed up to make abed for him till means could be adopted for his safe removal. The magistrates of the Manchester division of the county have tried unsuccessfully to induce the legislature to allow executions to take place privately, but practically they have nearly accomplished their object by the aid of drapery. Inside the gaol there was • procession, headed by the governor, after the unhappy man had been pinioned, and all the u sual forms were adopted. The murderer left the following statement in the hands of the chaplain for pub lication : "I, James Burrows, do acknowledge that I have, by suddenly cutting off the life of John Brennan, made his wife • widow and his children fatherless. May God help them. My sin is ever before me now ; and, rather than linger a miserable life on earth, I would wish to cut my self on the mercy of God. I acknowledge the righteousness of his law, and the law of this country. As Ido not wish to make a speech on the drop, I beg, through this paper, which I have asked the chaplain to write out for me to sign, to warn'all young people of both sexes to be obedient to their parents, not to neglect the Sabbath, the school, and the Bible, and against all profaneness, and debau chery, and especially against evil company, my ruin. M last word is, may God be ineroiful to me • sinner, through Jesus Christ sake. Amen. (Signed) JAMIA Buntows. From thecondemnedoell,August2s,lo66. Jam:lol=lms, awarder." MARKET& HARDWARE.—Bnungciew, ACOURT 25.—The re ports this week in reference to the state of trade in this town are more favourable: this is almost solelyattributable to the reduction of the Dank rate, so many orders having been withheld whilst the minimum stood at ten. Imme diately on the reduction to eight manufacturers received a good sprinkling of orders, and in many branches there has been more activity this week. At present the retail dealers* general hardware in connexion with the home trade are buying to a moderate extent only, but they have not yet begun to make their stocks on account of the autumn trade, and it is not unlikely that they will do that later than usual this year ; but the bulk of our manufacturers have now sufficient orders to keep their establishment, going the usual time. In the adjoin ing district of South Staffordshire and East Worcester shire business continues quiet. There are reports to that effect from Wolkoff, West Bromwich, end Wolverhampton, and that side of the district generally. In the neighbour hood of Dudley they are only partially employed at some of the works, and there is more unemployed labour than we have seen for some time. In the iron trade of this district a slight improvement is reported. COTTON.—LrrwarooL, Ammar 25.—We have had a fair demand to-day, but the market baa been very quiet, and yesterday's price. are barely maintained. The males are 10,000 balu, of which 3,000 are for export and speculation. COTTON GOODS.—MANCHIESTIM, Avaufrr 25.—The market has been dull all the week, and the further re duction of the Bank rate has failed to pruduoe anyfavour able impression. Yarns of nearly all descriptions are dif ficult of sale, and barely fetch the rates of last week. Some kinds of shipping yarns can only be sold by accept ing rather lower rates. Home trade yarns are nominally better, but the advance is not supported by buyers. Cloth is rather firmer than yarns, but offers at last week's rates are freely taken, and manufacturers cannot obtain any improvement. Shirt rags , printers, joiarotots, and heavy cloths, are all dull of CORN.--CANBAMON, AUGUST 26.-1 good supply of wheat, old and new, the latter 3s. to 41. cheaper.

GUILDFORD, AUGUST 25.—We had a fair supply of wheat to-day, the greater portion being new, and upon which a reduction of from la. to 2s. per qr. had to be submitted to in order to effect sales, old sorts, however, realised about late values.

NZWCANIIZ-17PON.T1111, AIJOVIPT 25.—At our market this morning we had a moderate show al wheat from the growers, the arrivals coastwise being equally so , whilst the main bulk of the foreign receipts have bean ordered to store ; fresh t h rashed samples sold quickly, at the ex treme rates of Tuesday, being a decline of ls. per qr. upon the prices paid last week, but at the decline the market closed strong.

This fact, however, has already been told to your readers ; and it is more my province to analyse the three days' racing, with a view to discover how it influenced the future. It was vastly important in many instances, especially as regarded the three-yeer-old doings, previous results being upset on several occasions. This Yorkshire Oaks, to start with, was a contradiction to that at Epsom, when Lady Vane disposed of Micelle so summarily ; but this she always promised to do, it must be admitted, when fit, which she was not on the OaksdL and as her ladyship is not in the St. Leger, little no was taken of the performance, especiall7 as Quick March ran her to a neck. The two-mile Biennial result was somewhat singular, seeing that Auguste and Ischia—both reputed " *oft 'uns," and the latter behind Mirella at Epsom—stayed the course almost as well as War, and quite as well as Sealskin, considering he was meeting them with 81b the worst of the weights. After Cecrops's overthrow, and by a two-year-old, for the Zetland mile, it might have been thought the Frenchmen, whose heart he almost broke when running him over a mile only at Brighton, was clean out of the fray ; but he ran surprisingly stout, although I cannot help thinking War ought have ran much further had Challoner come to the front with him sooner, for he is one of those gluttons that does not want waiting with. His companion black, Waldwick, made • fine example of his opponent, for the Ebor, as Covey judiciously (he is not the most patient of horses) gave him his way half a mile from home, and allowed him, still without leasing his head, to gallop his opponents fairly to a stand-still. As I surmised a week ago, the race was but a match between this Westwiek and Gomm, and the colt won even easier than antici pated, it being impossible to reconcile his performance with that in the Great Yorkshire Stakes on the following day. Here he was unable to make • struggle against Strathconan, whom he defeated " in • walk" at Stockton, when Snowden brought up the grey (" like aghast from the grave," as a plunger on Rustic remarked) at the distance; but the result of that race was altogether inexplicable, as even War looked bound to beat Strathconan over a long course, recollecting how they ran a mile at Epson, and in the Derby Rustic ran a good half a done the better horse, The latter is not quite so fit just now, it is true ; but it is probable the deed flat served the gallant grey, and that the different tactics adopted with him (for he invariably made his own running, a game few Newminstera ever played successfully, instead of waiting) allowed of his at last vin dicating the highopinion which his trainer, than whom there is hardly a better judge in all Yorkshire, always had of him. If the raze is to be taken as a true-run one, the complexion of the St. Leger is altered most materially, for Strathco nen beat Rustic quite as easily as Lord Lyon did in the Derby, and I am surprised there was not • greaterrevolution in the betting, for when Sabreur beat the Wizard he be came almost as good a St. Leger favourite as any thing, despite his indifferent performances previously, and when Blair Athol, with his 71b. penalty, suc cumbed to The Miner, they laid " 5 to 2 on the field," Klarinska's upset of only a moderate lot last year " shunting" the great Gladiatenr. However, it has seldom happened that the St. Leger has been a reflex of the Great Yorkshire Stakes, the two events having been but once carried off by the none horse, and even in recent years St. Leger Winners have been hasten over the Knaves mire mile.and.thiee-quarters. Gamester, as well as Blair Athol, to wit. But under any circumstances Lord Lyon, Bavernake, Rustic, and Btrathconan have only to reach Doncaster in good health and condition for the race to cause its wonteil excitement; and from the rumours abroad concerning Lord Glasgow's roan colt, and more than one of J. Scott's (we have not done with Westwick yet, I am certain, despite his ignominious defeat), it is not impos sible that another St. Leger surprise is in store for the world. Very few first-raters contested the two-year-old events ; and, sae a natural consequence. there were many cur 'prises, the meeting opening most inauspiciously for backers when the little Corporal won the &Maud a weight for age race, in which juveniles had to inn a mile. It was a hard task for them, especially against such a pay as Broemielaw and Cerope ; still, the former wee not an one of his winning humours, and as the mile appeared rather too much for the three year old, there was !nothing so very stuvrisinf in the Corporal winning, and after all he only boat 'Shire" two necks." The latter's stable com panion Rose, beaten by Vauban at Stockton, showed more decisive form when she upset Bumblekite, Sunnylock, Scour de Oharitd, and the Dean, for the Convivial, and sub sequently performed the like office for Lady Hester in the Filly Sapling Stakes, which we must look upon as a great improvement on the Stockton doings of the grey filly, or Vauban should never have been beaten for the Eleventh Biennial. Herein the Danebur7 people, who had been hit very hard by the defeats of Ischia, Lord Ronald, Crytheia, Lady Hester, Gomera, &c., made an awful blunder in " splitting " their interests, and stand ing both Ines and Vauban, as had the filly been reserved for the Nursery instead of the " good thing" being exposed, they might have netted ten or even twenty thousand pounds over her, if not all they lost on the week. As it was, both nag s were beaten, Wroughton having made such progress MCC he last ran that he was enabl to bowl them out pretty cleverly at the fi nish, and thereby make the Derby favourites look a little worse than they did a week ago. He is not entered for the race himself, unfortunately, but is in the Middle Park Plate—decidedly the great event of the month of October—nnd 011iver can pay him so much attention for that particular race that Plaudit, the Rake, Palmer, and others will have to look to their laurels, if AChievement is not in danger. The other items of the meeting were only of passing interest, and it certainly cannot he said that the Derby was influ enced so much as in other years by the three days' proceedings at York, which were mainly notice able, after all, for the many "surprises" that occured, and the facers administered to the public, more especially the " gentlemen," who were disappointed in nearly every grand coup attempted. How the little men suffered may be guessed when Kenyon did not have one successful journey, though be was nine times in the saddle, and Ford ham's three winning mounts out of thirteen were only accomplished when it was ruinous odds on him. They will both, perhaps, have some good mount, during the cur rent week, at Lichfield and Derby, which are the principal meetings to be held ; but as even they are too unimportant to enter into a discussion of, I am not called upon to anti cipate one of the hundred races that have to come off be tween now and Saturday next.—l am, ke., METEOR. BETTING IN LONDON.—BATuaDAy. The proceedings were to-day of a dull and tame character: there was an evident dearth et commissions in the market, and several of the most prominent members were not •' in their places." With the exception of a few stray shots on the Cesare. witch, the St. Leger monopolised specubiUon. For this event the partisans of Lord Lyon evinced unabated confidence, in the first part of the morning brat, g him freely at evens, and subse quently laying a shade of odds on. The recent doings on the Knavesmire have, as a matter of course, influenced the market considerably. The awkward tale told by Rustic has caused him to be driven back to double his former odds, while Strathconan has been advanced from the rear Into the front rank. The form displayed by Westwlek has also brought him Into make, and as a place investment he appears to be strongly fancied.
