The remains of tho bodies recovered from the calcined dibrie of the limited mail were buried this morning side by side in a long grave on the west aide of the churchyard in this parish. The Rev.

The scene was deeply affecting. A handsome monument is to be raised by the 11101.1111C71. S ÜBMARINE TELEGRAPH corrAxr (TIIIB DA r. The half yearly meeting of the shareholdere was held at I o'clock at the London Tavern ; Sir Ii (lea incrust. lo the chair. The report appeared in yesterday's Erpress. The CRAMMAN, in mewl{ the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the position et the company independently of any agreement with her Majeety'sgo comment. Although the receipts had not increased, they were enabled to declare the usual dividend after paying off 1,0004 of the debenture debt, and to add 2,6691. to the reserve fund, which now amounted to 33,000/. After speaking of the satisfactory manner in which the com pany's service had been performed, he alluded to the re cent reductions in the rates, and expressed his belief that they would be more than recouped by the future receippttxs A new cable was being laid down from Malta to Aluindria, and the charges would be reduced from 2/. 105. 6d. to 1/. lOs. He then referred to the bill for the purchase of the telegraphs, and traced the history of the government scheme in its bearing on the company, stating, among other things, that under the arrangement to be entered into the com pany would become partners with the government during the whole term of the concessions. Mr. A. BFATTIE. in seconding the motion, expressed his satisfaction with the contents of the report. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum declared, after which the agreement with the government was coa l:bused by special resolution. OREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The net balance as shown by the accounts of this company for dividend on ordinary stocks for the six months ending the 31st July last is 114,558/., admitting of the following divi dends :—On Great Western South Wales Ordinary stock at the rate of 3/. 10s. per cent. per annum ; ditto Original stock, 1/. ss. ditto; ditto (West Midland) Newport, 10a. ditto ; ditto (West Midland) Oxford, 58. ditto ; carrying forward a balance of about 17,80 W. PROGRESS OF LIBERAL OPINION IN FRANCE.-- It appears hom a statistical account in the Bpogne that liberal opinions have rapidly advanced amongst the elec toral body of France since the last general elections. Be tween December 13, 1863, and May 17, 1868, 52 deputies have been returned, and of these 16 belong to the opposi tion. The government have lost in these partial elections 182,608 votes, and the opposition gained 218,000. At the general elections in 1863 the government received 1,032,367, and the opposition 307,295 votes in electoral divisions which have since given only 842,759 votes for the govern ment, and 625,290 for the opposition. THE LATE BRUTAL ATTACK ON A LADY IN A RAILWAY CAIIRIAGIL—We understand (says the Northern Whig) that the person who is suspected as being the perpetrator of the outrage upon the young lady when travelling between Portadown and Lurgan on the morning of Thursday last, was in the employment of the railway company. Since the night of the occurrence the official has been missing, and search is being diligently made for him. THE TIPPERARY OUTRAGE. —A private letter received from Clonmel Mates that Mr. Scully's wounds have assumed an unfavourable aspect.. A second pellet or slug was extracted by the physician; in attendance on Sunday week, but one still remains, and is so deeply seated that it cannot at present be removed. It is feare d that it is workin g _ its way downwards in the direction of the left lung. Mr. Scully has sworn a lengthened in formation before one of the local magistrates. The Irish constabulary took into custody on Saturday, _in Ti p , on suspicion that the persons apprehended migt P t er h a a r ie had a connection with the Ballycohey outrage, three other farmers, J. Dwyer, Donobill ; E. Mullins, and P. Ber mingham. They alai arrested three daughters of Dwyer, the tenants of Mr. William Scully, from whose house the shots were Bred. All these, however, the magistrates either allowed to give bail, or to be liberated after al examina tion ; Dwyer, the owner of the farm, and hie son, are still in custody. The crown solicitor has been a the magistrates for some days in their inqu, an B = before them at a private meeting which lasted several hours, the various depositions that bad been taken. Sub constable Kelly, who received a wound in the thigh on the occasion, on searching his watchmiat which was strapped on hie back, bas found that six slugs pene trated the cloth. Mr. Scully was warned by the police some time since that a conspiracy existed to take his life, but is said to have made light of the information. SHOCKING BATHING ACCIDENT.—Amongst the unusually numerous deaths from drowning recorded during the present season, there have been few more sad than one which happened a day or two ago in the Severn, to the two only daughters of Mr. William Lewis Hodgson, grocer, of Chepstow, Clara and Mary, aged respectively 14 and 13 years, and Jane Treherne, aged 19, daughter of Mr. James Treherne, of Beachley. The Misses Hodgson bad been in ill-health for some time, and a fortnight ago Mr. Hodgson placed them in the care of Mr. Treherne and his wife, at Beachley, for change of air. A ft er breakfast on Frid ay morning they proceeded to bathe as usual, ac companied by the other young lady, who acted as their guardian. A heavy tide was running at the time, and instead of the young ladies keeping on the green shore, where there was a good bathing place, they went on hand-in-hand "ducking" into the water, until they appeared to lose their depth, and the youngest sister was immediately carried away by the force of the tide. Miss Treberne at once jumped into the water to save them, but as she approached them the eldest grasped her, rendered her helpless, and in a few seconds all were lad to sight. The body of the youngest sister was picked up near the spot where it sank, when the tide receded. The body of the elder sister was not recovered until six o'clock on Saturday morning, when it was found upon the old chapel cliff lying upon its side. A diligent search has been prosecuted for the body of Miss Treherne. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT LEICESTER.—A shocking affair happened in Leicester yesterday . morning. A young man, named John Scampton, twice an inmate of a lunatic asylum, has lately been under the care of a keeper, his wife and her little girl residing with her father, Mr. .Parr. During yesterday morning, having eluded the vigilance of his keeper, Scampton went to the house of Mr. Farr, and was refused admission. He went away, but returned again about half-past twelve, and knocked at the door, which Mr. Parr went to open ; but on perceiving who it was he attempted to close it again. Scampton, however, placed his foot against the door, and kept it a little way open, thrust his arm through the aper ture, having a au-barrelled revolver in his hand, and fired off five of the barrels in mid sucomion, One of the bullets took effect in Mr. Parr's left arm, which was broken in two places. Another struck Scamp ton's owe child, a little girl three years old, the charge passing completely through the skull, An twector and a policeman happening to be in the neighbourhood hastened to the spot, and found floamptou walking about in front of the house, muttering to himself that "be was prepared to meet his God and his judge." A neighbour named Manton informed the officers what had occurred, and Scampton then put his hand in his pocket, and was about apparently to draw the pistol, when the policeman rushed upon Scampton and drew his arms be hind him. The child is in imminent danger. At the time the pistol was fired, Mrs. Scampton and two other women were in the passage, and how they escaped injury is almost a miracle. jaiiROPOLITAN SITHWAYB.—An Act of Parlia ment was passed in the late session to make provision re specting the use of subways constructed by the Metropoli tan Board of Works. Subways have been authorised under seven acts of parliament, including the Thames Embankment, and the statute recites that in order to pre vent inconvenience to the public by the frequent breaking up of the streets and roads, it is expedient to enable the Board to require companies or persons, intending to place water, gas, and other pipes in the streets, to lay the same in the subways upon proper terms and conditions. There are several provisions working out the preamble of the statute. Too LATE.—The Spanish government, say the foreign journals, is stated to have authorised General Hulce to select some foreign country as his place of resi dence. The general is now beyond the reach of the Spanish authorities, for we learn b telegraph that be died in exile in one of the Canary Islan ds. STRIKES IN ROME.—A communication from Horne says :—" There has been a strike of the bakers, fol lowed by one of the fish vendors, and now troubles have broken out in the printing office of the Apostolic Chamber, where the workmen, hitherto proverbial for their loyslty, are said to entertain revolutionary sentiments. The authorities are uneasy, and the Roman police daily make arrests in the suburban oaterirm, or_,public-houses." AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS . —During last month neatly 30,000 immigrants landed at New York from Europe. About 23,000 of them landed from steamers; about 20,000 were from German and French ports, and upwards of 26,000 of them were steerage angers. They arrived in nearly 40 ships. There were 31 births on board the ships during the Atlantic passage. The bulk of the immigrants were from Germany and the north of Europe, which contain a population of 70,000,000, and from which tiler, is a perpetual exodus. The chief per- MAO engaged in this enormous passenger traffic are two German steam-packet companies called the "North Ger man Lloyd" and the "Hamburg and American" com panies, who will ere long have a fleet of 40 monster screw steamers, as large and as fast as any in the world. They are now rapidly building five gigantic steamers at a cost of upwards of 600,0004 This fleet will form a nursery for a German navy. They have now lines to New York and Baltimore, and they will soon have one to New Orleans. These companies wrU monopolise all the passenger traffic between the Weser, Elbe, and Solent, and the Hudson, Chesapeake Bay, and the Mississippi. What they get for carrying mails scarcely equals what they pay to the English Trinity Board. The German steerage passengers are persons possessed of a little money, who forsake Europe for the far west, where there is perfect religious and political freedom and a boundless territory and field for enterprise. The Germans form almost the whole mope lation of some towns and cities in the United States. They indulge in their social and religious customs in their new homs and only change their language for the English. They are the mast welcome immigrants that come to the United States. Nein' !

The traffic returns of the Oude and Rohilkund Railway (Lucknow and Cawnpore line) for the week ending July 12, were 3831., against 272/. in the corresponding period of last year. The liquidators of the London and Middlesex Bank have announced that they will make a final distribution of the assets among the shareholders immediately after the 30th September. The letter published by the Time,' yesterday, purporting to have been written by the Right Hon. James Stuart Wortley, late Governor of the Crklit Fonder, in which he professed to offer res titution to the shareholders of " imaginary and unrealised profits " to the extent of 18,0001., is this morning pronounced to be a forgery.

The engineers' report on the state of the works is subjoined. A great itspromment has been made in the position of the company, by the steps which have been taken to ensure the construction of the mil. vizail connect the docks with the London and Blackwell y, and thus open up a communication with the general railway system of the country. An act was passed in the lest session, by which this company was empowered to work this branch line, and the requisite measures have been adopted for the commencement of the works. The accounts of the enediture on account of capital during the half -year, and a statement of the revenue earned from the opening of the docks to the 30th June, are submitted.

TIIN BRITISH ASSOCIATION. NORWICH. MONDAY. The sections re-assembled at the usual places this morning. SECTION D.-1110LOOY DIPAITYENT OF ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY. This department met in the Friends' Meeting-house, the Rev. J. M. Baccarat, M.A., presiding. Professor HUXLEY read a paper on some organisms which live at the bottom of the North Atlantic, in depths of 6,000 feet to 16,000 feet. He said he had no doubt they were aU acquainted with the subject os the Atlantic cable, which lay over 1,700 miles of sea bottom, extending from the west coast of Ireland to Newfoundland. In 1857 a plan for laying that cable was first taking a thoroughly practical shape . Our government had at that time been moved by representations made to them to have the sea bottom throughout that extent carefully examined, forthe purpose of finding out whether there wore any impedi ments to the safe lodgment of the cable at the bottom of the sin. Very various opinions were held on the subject, and many persons maintained that there were great rocks which would catch or cut the cable. The Admiralty de tputehed the Bulldog steam-vessel, under the command of Captain Dayman, who was supplied with an inge nious apparatus, by means of which larger or smaller portions of the sea bottom could be brought bodily up from any depth at which soundings could be made. Captain Dayman made his sound ings, and brought back his specimens of the sea bottom, and the Admiralty sent the whole of the soundings to him (Professor Huxley) for examination. ' They wore ex tremely interesting, as they for the first time supplied the means of ascertaining what was the precise nature of the mud which covered the bottom of the sea. He should speak only of the soundings brought from a depth of from 1,000 to 2,400 or 2,500 fathoms, or from 6,000 to 15,000 feet. The depth of the Atlantic was such, that in the deepest part of it if Mont Blanc was sunk. the top would be covered, and he had specimens of the bottom from that depth. It became his business to report on these sound ings, and report of their nature ; and he stated in his report that the deposits consisted of minute round bodies, to all appearance consisting of several concretic layers, surrounding a clear centre. As these bodies were rapidly dissolved by dilute acids he thought at that time that they could not be organic. That, however, he found on more minute and careful investig ation to be an imperfect statement of the facts of the case. The largest of them was the 16-100 of an inch in diameter, and he had not examined them at first with a sufficient power. Three or four years afterwards Dr. Warwick printed his " Notes on the Existence of Organic Bodies at great Depths in the Sea." He discovered what he called cocoepheres, which he thought looked extremely like as if they were made up of a number of what he (Professor Huxley) . had called cooolites set side by side in a kind of mosa ic. In 1861 Dr. Warwick publishedanother paper, in which he stated that the cocolites were identical with minute bodies which had been discovered in chalk by Mr. Swaby, who was the first person to point out this in teresting circumstance. In the same year Mr. Swaby got a step further, and found that these bodies—which he (Professor Huxley) had called cocolites, from their being concretionary if they were turned round, no easy matter with so minute an object—were concave—such things as might be cut out of a hollow sphere of glass that they were, in fact, like thick watch glasses; and be showed that they could not be concretious—that is, that they could not be of animal nature. He (Professor Huxley) re-examined the specimens of deep sea soundings, by app-- b ad plying to them a muchdre g if power than he bad used before. He mi gh t ion that all persona who had been concerned inup Atlantic mud spoke of it as being a wond erfully tenacious and sticky substance. He found it to contain an immense number of minute shells, and of an enormous number of little, irregular pellets of jelly, dotted all over. It was to the dotted pellets he desired to draw attention. On applying a power of 1,200 diameters, they could be analysed and resolved pretty well. In each of the peUets would be found a great number of granules scattered about, each being the 40,000 th to the 20,000 th of an inch. These he found were all organic particle!, yielding, as they did, to all the changes to which organic bodies yielded when the materials were applied to them. The average proper of each heap of granules was the 12-100th of an inch, and each represented a mass actually living at the depth of the sea, and developed in its slime. So that, intermixed amongst the shell, there was an immense body of jelly, which contained the bodies of the simplest kinds of organisms, each representing a kind of spicule of primitive organism. The fact that those bodies existed at the depths he had stated was beyond dispute, so that the depths of the sea contained those living organisms from which old philosophers held that all things proceeded. And some persons were coming round to that opinion again. (Laughter.) For his part he expressed no opinion as to whether they, were plants or animals. They were, perhaps, the simplest representatives of that common ground between plants and animals as to which so much was said in the present day. (Applause.) A vote of thanks was passed to the learned professor for his paper. MEETING OF FRE GENERAL ComxrrrEE. The general committee St. Peter's Hall. In the absence of the president of the association, Professor Pniturs took the chair. _ _ .....—.., The CIiAIRMAN said the special purpose of the meeting was to receive invitations from different places in the United Kingdom to hold the next meeting of the associa tion in. Invitations were then read from Exeter, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Brighton, and Bradford. The meeting was then addressed by gentlemen from the various towns named, and ultimately the choice fell upon Exeter. An inquest was held on Friday at Athlone, on the bodies of the five artillerymen who were drowned on Monday in Lough Ree, by the upsetting of the boat in which they were. The first witness examined was a gun ner named Edward Quinlivan, one of the survivors, who made his escape by swimming a distance of half a mile to the shore. He stated to the jury that the only cause which led to the unfortunate occurrence was in hoisting a sail, and as the men did not properly understand how to manage the vessel when the sail was up, a side wind was blowing strong at the time, which caused her to go on her side and upset. ALLEGED MURDER BY A WlFE.—Michael Dur ham, a butcher, about 40 years of age, was killed on Saturday afternoon at his stall in Plymouth market under the folio ng circumstances:—The deceased was much given to drinking, and in the habit of frequently leaving his business to resort to public-houses. Anne Durham, his wife, 35 years of age, was a woman of very passionate temper, and frequent quarrels took place between the parties. During these quarrels the wife used to give way to violence, using frightful threats, and throwing 41b. weights, cleavers, knives, bones, or pieces of meat at her husband. On Saturday they had been quarrelling throughout the day at their stall in the market, and at half-past 5 o'clock in the afternoon both were inside the stall, the husband employed in dinning out the bones of a brisket, when suddenly the wife rushed out, exclaiming, " Michael is bleeding." Several butchers from the ad joining stalls ran to the man's assistance, among them two of his brothers. On being taken up he was found to be bleeding from a punctured would immediately over his heart. He feebly asked, " Who done it 'r" and expired in a few minutes. Two surgeons who were called in were of opinion that the wound was inflicted with a knife found by his side. The wife has been taken into custody on a charge of wilful murder. She admits having during the day threatened to stab the deceased, but declares that the wound was inflicted on himself by the deceased during a struggle that took place between them. The prisoner has three young children, one of 11 another of 9 years, and an infant of four mouths. The body of the deceased awaits a coroner's inquest. The woman was brought up before the magistrates yesterday. The medical evidence went to prove that the wound must have been indicted by the deceased himself, and the charge against the wife was dismissed. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN THE SOUTH. —The change of weather during the past ten days or so has been most beneficial so far as regards the roots, turnips, and pastures. A considerable quantity of rain has fallen in this southern district, and everywhere the meadows and pasture lands exhibit an immense imrove ment. Great efforts are being used to make up f or the falling off in roots and turnips. From the hop districts the accounts as to the effects of the late rains are various. Where the hops bad been much damaged by the continued drought, they had gone too far backward to recover, and no amount of moisture can be of more than slight service. On the contrary, where the gardens were in good heart and had been able to withstand the influence of the long drought the rain baa been of great service, and the im provement in such grounds has been considerable. The effect of the violent storm of Saturday morning and night has been very disastrous. The estimate of the yield has been considerably reduced, but there is yet a capital crop on the Dines, if there be but fine weather for the rest of the picking.—Swwer Adrertiser. tiOnn KresiwoTow Muarerm.—Viaitore during the week ending 22nd August, 1868 :—On Monday, Tues day. and Saturday, free, from 10 cm. to 10 p.m., 14,737; on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (admission 6d.), from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m., 2,366; national portrait exhibi tion, by payment, n,634; total, 25,736; average of cor responding week is former years, 11,332; total from the opening of the museum, 7,678,676.

The steamer Veotis left here at hall-past 7 this morning to follow the American and English racing yachts round the Isle of Wight. She embarked about 100 passengers at this port and 260 at the Isle of Wight. The yachts started at 10 o'clock this morning, and the Aline soon afterwards drew ahead the Cambria being second. The Sappho was some dis tance astern. The yachts went out by the eastern 'ken nel, and will have the tide against them all the way. Numerous steam yachts accompanied them. Crowds of persons are now leaving Southampton by the 11 o'clock boat for Cowes to see the yachts come in, and crowds are also expected to go down by the 2 o'clock boat in the hope of seeing the yachts approach Cowes through the west channel. The weather is magnificent, the wind west north-west, and there is a smart breeze outside. ENORMOUS INCREASE IN THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY RATE. In consequence of the proposed increase of the county rate for Middlesex, amounting in the aggregate to close upon three millions sterling, a deputation from the overseen and vestrymen of 29 parishes of the county of Middlesex waited yesterday (Monday) upon the members of the assessment committee of the county of of Middlesex at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell. Mr. Kemahead, chairman of the committee, Mr. Parnell, chairman of the Middlesex bench of magistrates, Mr. A. Robertson, and other magistrates were present. Mr. DAKOZIPIELD (vestry clerk), St. Martin's-in-the fields, said the proposed re-assessment of the county rate would act most prejudicially to the interest of the parishes in the metropolis. la this parish the total increase amounted to 35,0001. The ViseraT CLERK of St. Mary, Whitechapel, said the increase in that parish would be more than 21,6641. A very long discussion then enaued between the mem bers of the deputation and the committee, during which it was stated that the various parishes were determined to resist and oppose the proposed increase, and for that purpose had formed a committee. It was stated that the total amount of the last assess ment was 11,130,7 W. The proposed re-assessment Mounted to 14,101 0631. In two parishes—New Brant ford and Velfham--time was a decrease in the assessment to the extent of 3081. only, but the total increase in the assessment of the other parishes in the county amounts to 2,982,6271. A number of objections were entered against the rate. The Cuentmen of the committee said the magistrates had given no decision at present, but the suggestions which had been made would be seriously considered. WEATHER REPORT.-(I'DIEI DAY.) TuESDAY.
