The causes of the accident are variously stated, . rumours iiimt therefore be taken with re .•,c until the arrival of detailed information. According to one statimtent a goods train was l atched only half an hour previously to the , 4 .11 Jean , of the mail, and was being shunted at Abtrgele, in order to allow the mail to pass, when 1 efore the shunting could be completed, the mail da.d.a. , l up, at the rate of fifty miles an hour, And the terrible calamity above described occurred i n less time. probably, than it has taken to write Clio account. Another rumour is that the coupling of the .roda train broke and the trucks which did the remained on tho line. ITp to a late hour last night the line remained !neked, great damage having been done to it. (av vaisoaara.) (Flex oui ow colauseownwer.) CHESTER, FRIDAY Moasceo.

The only person who °mild give an account of the transaction was the prisoner,und her mouth was closed. He did not complain of the law which was the cause of such a state of things existing, but it was an undoubted fact. The • prisoner could have given an account of the affair, but she was prevented from doing so. He hoped, however, that when they looked at the ease dis passionately, they would have no alternative but to come to the conclusion that there was no foundation for the charge. He then proceeded to remind the jury that these transactions were represented to have taken place in the year 1866, and yet, although all the facts were known to the friends and finial of Mrs. Borradaile, nothing in the shape of a charge was preferred against the prisoner until the present year. Several civil proceedin gs had been commenced against the defen dant by Mrs. Borradaile and her friends, but they were all abandoned, and no opportunity had ever been afforded to the defendant to give an answer upon her oath 'to the extraordinary statements that bad been made by Mrs. Borradaile. He complained that an enormous amount of prejudice had been cast upon the defendant, and that one point in particular— which was aaleulated to entirely prevent her from having a fair trial, namely, that she kept an establishment where persons who were debased enough to do so had an opportunity of seeing women while taking a bath had been brought forward, but for which he asserted, there was not the slightest foundation. He entreated the jury to dismiss from their minds any prejudice that might have been crested by s u ch statements as the one he had referred to, and be guided in their de cision solely by the evidence that had been laid before them by the prosecution. A giant many of the mints in the indictment might be dismissed altogether hem ' their coneifferation, and the substantial question ' Was whether the prosscutrix had been induced by the intr"`hat atte rata:rad to, fa part walk hoe I;%z c i;ie the 'prima:atria ? Was she h' woman, unacquainted with the world or, the artifice.• that were practised in it ? On the contrary, she was a widow, a mother, a woman who had travelled, who wee well acquainted with the ways of the world, who bad gone the overland routs to In dia , and who was acquainted, according to her own showing, with the overland route to the west. The learned counsel for the prosecution admitted that the prisoner was an illiterate woman, that she could not write, and, it was suggested, could not even read; and it was agreed that it was absurd to suppose that she could have dictated such letters as - had been produced in this case; and the only reasonable conclusion that could be arrived at was that these letters were the genuine effusions of Mrs. Borradaile herself, and that the state ment she made as to these letters having been dic tated by the prisoner was a falsehood. Again it was said that the prisoner had obtained large quantities of valuable pr . opert , jewel., and articles of that description, but not a single tradesmen had been called to show that there was the least foundation for that assertion. He asked them not to visit upon the defendant the sins of a generation, or to punish her for the frivolities of the vota ries of fashion of the present day. If it wee the fashion of the present day to change the colour of the hair, and women endeavoured still to exhibit the beauties and graces of youth, Madame Rachel was not to blame for endeavouring to gratify their desires; and as it appeared to him, there who employed her were infinitely more to blame than she was. The learned counsel next proceeded to refer to the statement of the proeecutrix that the 1.0.T.1.s and the bills of exchange that had been produced were all fictitious, and he submitted that it would be a monstrous conclusion to arrive at that the prosecu trix should have signed solemn documents of this description, admitting pecuniary liability to a very large amount, and that she should not have been aware of the nature of those instruments, or that she had incurred any liability in respect of them. He then referred to the story that was told by the proeecutrix, and said he was glad that both himself and his learned friend were agreed that not the slightest stain of dishonour or discredit rested upon Lord Randagli in reference to this transaction, and he had positively contradicted the story told by her with regard to the circumstances under which the first inter view took place between them. The story was in itself, as it appeared to him, both absurd and improbable. She represented that a door was opened, that the prisoner showed her Lord Ranelagh, and he presented her with his card, and - then the door was shut again without a word being uttered by either party. (A laugh.) Could the jury for one moment - believe that it was possible that a woman like Mrs. Borradaile could believe that she was the affianced wife of a nobleman living in the Name city with her and take no other steps than those the referred to to ascertain whether there was any ground for the suggestion that she represented had been made to her P He said that the only conclusion that could be arrived at was that the story had been concocted by the prosecutrix to conceal her own misconduct, and this was the only way in which she could account for the discreditable letters that had been produced. He asked the jury whether all Umbels el the case did not tend to show that Mrs. Bonedeile bed been carrying on an in with the man WSluiini although the datend=4: 2 l4l6. evelti t h at , there c idy muted ould be no douY;Znirs7Borradaile was intimately acquainted with such a person, and that she bad squandered her money upon him, and the present charge had been trumped up to screen herself in the estimation of her own family at the expense of the defendant. He then called the attention of the jury to the fact that the proeecutrix knew perfectly well that Lord Ranelagh's name was Thomas, and said it was impossible that her story could be true that she corres ponded with a person named William, believing him to be Lord Ranelagh.

ARRIVALS OF GRAIN lc., INTO LONDON BY WATER CARRIAGE FROM AUGUST 17 TO AUGUST SO, BOTH INCLUSIVE. TRIAL OF MADAME RACHEL CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The trial of the prisoner Madame Rachel was resumed this morning at 10 o'clock before the Recorder, and the evidence for the prosecution was proceeded with. James Minton, a lad, said—l know the prisoner. I first saw her in January, 1867, at her shop in Bond-street. I used to go in the evening to write letters for her. - She requested me to do so. Sometimes other persons were present, a young man, and the daughter of the prisoner. After I had written the letters I gave them to the pri soner. I copied one letter and gave it to the prisoner, and she handed it to the young gentleman, and he said he would make a better one, and folded it up and put it in his pocket, and Madame Rachel said that it was written like a schoolboy. I have heard Mrs. Borradaile's name men tioned, and they said they expected to see her there. ale witness here identinedsome of the love letters sent to Mrs. Borradaile as those which he had written or copied.) Cross-examined—l have seen these letters before. They were shown to me before the magietrate. • One of the letters was not shown to me at the polioe-court, but I saw it lad Saturday at Mr. larris's office. Ido not know any thing about the other letters that have been produced. lam a clerk to an auctioneer at this time, and I have never had any dispute with the prisoner. Mr. Joseph Baynes said—l am a solicitor, and am ac quainted with Madame Rachel, arid I am the mortgagee of the house she occupied in New Bond-street, I baba known her from 1866. In June of that y ear she came to my chambers with Mrs. Borradaale, and said that the half r , owed her 8001., and if I would ea out some Seek would pay me the rent that was owing -1851. In conse quence of this I went with Mrs: Borradaile to the Bank of England on the following day and sold out stook which realised 9631. odd. The cheque of the stockbroker was handed to me, and • I paid it into • my own bankers'. Mrs. Borradaile called again at my office on the 14th of June, and subsequently I acted for her in raising some money upon property belonging to her at Streatham. I rained 1,340/. for her upon that pro perty. Part of this money, between 800/. and 900/., was paid by me to Madame Rachel at once, and the remainder was also subsequently paid to her. I sent in an account . a ft erwards to Mrs. e, by which a balance RAJ made due from her of 5441., and she executed a mortgage deed to secure that amount The pro pmty was subsequently sold, and the sum realised I think, was 1,4001. This sum was devoted to paying on the mortgage, and other matters, and a sum of 7001 was handed by me to Madame Rachel. At the time I debited Mrs. Borradaile with 5441. I did not oweher 9001., because I had an order from her to pay Madame Rachel 1,4001., which she said she owed her. I know nothing about the bond for 1,6001. that was subsequently executed. Cross-examined—ln September, 1866, Madame Rachel had received about 7001., or half the amount to which she was said to be entitled. Mrs. Borradaile said she wanted money Madame pay her debts, and she also told me that she owed Madame Rachel 8001. for money that she had paid for her. Mrs. Borradaile told me she had given Madame Rachel bills and 1.0.U.s for the 1,400/., which were to bo given up when the account was paid. Iu July, 1866, Mrs. Borradaile told me she was going to be married to her cousin, Captain Edwardes, who was a relation of Lord Kensing ton. Madame Rachel &bind this time had a noisy scene with Mrs. Borradaile, and told her she was squandering her money upon her paramour, and to my surprise she was Went when the accusation was made. I had previously told Madame Rachel that she ought to be ashamed of herself for making such an accusation against Mrs. Borradaile. Both parties were very much excited and angry upon the occasion I refer to. I subsequently , received a letter from Madame Rachel in reference to this scene and I mentioned the suhject to M. Borradaile afterw a rds. Ite-examined--I was mistaken in saying that I had paid 700/. to Madame Rachel by the beginning of September. In point of fact, I only paid her 480/. I am not aware that about this time Mrs. Borradaile was arrested for 50/. and sent to prison. Madame Rachel told me that she had receipts and vouchers to account for all the money that she received from me on account of Mrs. Borradaile. . _ Mr. Haynes said he wished to contradict s statement that was made by Mrs. Borradaile on the previous day, that the receipt for "beautifying" the prosecutrix was signed in his office. He denied that this occurred. Lord Ranelagh was then called. He said—My name is Thomas Heron Jones. I am known as Viscount Ranelagh. I have been at Madame Rachel's shop, but I certainly never promised marriage to Mn. Borrada ile. I never bor rowed money of her. Serjeant Ballantine—Did you ever ask her for money Lord Ranelagh—Certainly not. Serjeant Batine—Lid you ever send her a letter with a coronet on the piper ? Lord Ranelagh—Certainly not. Ido not use paper with a coronet on it. (goes;:arnm -- ed--I am very glad to ezplain why I west to Madame Rachel's. I merely went from curiosity to see a person who had obtained a large sum of money from a lady some time before, and which was the subject of an action. I certainly did not go there to be enamelled. (Laughter.) I afterwards purchased some small articles of china. Mr. Digby Seymour—Did you ever hand her your card ? Lord Renelagh--Certainly not. I did see her once in the shop, but I had no communication whatever with her, and I certainly did not give her any card. Mr. Digby Seymour—Did you receive any letters from her f Lord Rantlagh—Mrs. Borradaile made a claim upon me in November, 1867, and I immediately communicated with my soli citor. I bad never received any letter pre viously from Mrs. Borradaile. I received several letters afterwards, and I produce all that I have. Re-examined—l am quite sure I never handed a card to Mrs. Borradaile. I have never seen Madame Rachel or her daughter, or any one connected with her, at any other place but her own sho . I say this emphatically. Colonel William Edwardes said—l am distantly con nected by relationship with Mrs. Borradaile, but I know nothing whatever of these transactions. lam anxious to make this statement. By Mr. D. Seymour—My great grandfather and Mrs. Borradaile's great grandfather were cousins—(laughter)— that is all the relationship between us. Mr. Smith, the landlord of the house in George-street, Hanover-square, where Mrs. Borradaile lived for three years, deposed that she was most regular in her habits, and was not visited by any male friends. Only one gentle man used occasionally to come and see her. Mr. Alexander Cope said—l am brother-in-low to Mrs. Borradaile, and in consequence of something I heard I came up to London to see her in Se ptem ber, 1866. She made a statement and I went to see Madame Rachel, and mid that my object was to ascertain what she had been receiving such large alma from Mrs. Borradaile for. She asked me to come again at 2 o'clock. My wife and Mrs. Borradailo were with me. I repeated my question and asked if there wee any truthin the statement relating to Lord Ranelagh? She denied having received the money, and I said we bad better leave the place and put the matter in the hands of a solicitor. Madame Rachel did not say a word about Mrs. Borradaile owing her money. Cross-examined—When I saw Mrs. Borradaile in the first instance I upbraided her with her folly. I was aware that her name bad been mentioned in connexion with Lord Ranelagh. Madame Rachel did not in my presence my anything about Mrs. Borradaile being extravagant, or my that the knew best how the money was spent. By the Recorder—l unilerWood Madame Rachel to say that she knew nothing either about the money or about the introduction to Lord Ranela&. • Mrs. Borradaile was then recalled at the request of Mr. Digby Seymour, and she was further cross-examined in reference to a statement she had made on a card and in a letter relative to the dates on which her two children were born, and which she said was dictated Madame Rachel. A number of envelopes ad to Captain William Edwardes, care of Mrs. Liney, were put into her hand, and she admitted that the ad dresses were written by her. Several other letters were also shown to her, and she admitted they were written by her. In one of these letters the prodecutrix stated that she felt compelled to sell her property, in order to pay her debts. In another she assured "Dear William," that she had never meutioued his name to Lewis and Lewis. The object of these letters was to show that the prusecutrix was really in correspondence with some strange man, and that her statement in relation to Lord Ranelagh was not the truth. A letter was written by the witness to Lord Ranelagh in which she called him " her own dear Tom," and said she knew he loved her, but he must remember that she was loved by another man. She also reminded him that he had men her in her bath in Daviee-street, and she was afraid he was •• a naughty old Tommy." (Laughter.) In another letter written by the witness to Lord Ranelagh she referred to another person as being "William," and requested Lord Ranelagh not to compromise her. She also said, " You know I love William dearly, but I have not been unkind to you, you donkey." (Laughter.) She likewise stated that William told her he should win all her money bark next year, if the horses ran that be had backed; and that the Marquis of had lost more money on one day than her poor William ever saw. One of the letters contained a recommenda tion to "dear Tommy" to take the cough mixture, and put flannel on his chest. (A roar of laughter.) Mrs. Borradaile—Every word contained in these letters was dictated by Madame Rachel. I knew nothing of any man named %%Ham. The only man I was introduced to was Lord Ranelagh. By Scrjcaut Bulhuitine—These letters were all written at Madame Rachel's shop, and sometimes she found the paper and at others I found it. It was Madame Rachel who told me that Lord Ranelagh had a cough and sore throat, and I thought flannel would do him good. (A laugh.) I frequently asked Madame Rachel what her object was iu inducing me to write such silly letters, and idie !gild I mist do as she told me, and it was the only way that I should be able to get on. (A laugh.) The Iteiorder asked the witness if she could give any expliiiiatiol for saying.

In the Stock Exchange there is very little dispq ' sition to enter into fresh operations, especially as that establishment will be closed to-morrow, , with a view to some internal repairs being effected. Consols are 1-16 per cent. • lower for money, but are unchanged for the account. As ;regards railway stocks, the principal feature is a ;fall of per cent. in London and North Western °sting to the announcement of a terrible laecident upon that line, and to consequent iticipations that the company will have pay • heavy damages to the relatives of some of the sufferers. Foreign bonds are flat, and have receded in a few cases. Italian of 1861 have been sold to a considerable extent, and have experienced a somewhat important fall. Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares are inactive.' There is a fair demand for money to-day, but &aloe three months' bills are taken at 14 per oent., or below the Bank minimum.

Annexed is an extract from a letter received from Paris in relation to the French Atlantic Telegraph Company : The subscription to the shares of the new Atlantic cable gem on here very slowly. Until the hot days it is very difficult to say how much will be subscribed. In our opinion it will hardly reach one half of the twenty five millions.

Although the increase in the clearing has chiefly arisen from the Stock Exchange settlements at they close of last week, the subsequent operations point to spine inciesse in the number of .ordimuy mer • cantile transactions. This is a satisfactory feature lit this season. • The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes (the exchange being taken at 25f. to the pound) : Coin and bullion Paula dneounted ;iota' in circulation Decrease 880,000 Private balanc e Treasur Increase 3,180,000 Advances The large increase in the Treasury balance it ' ascribable to the receipts on account of the new loan ; and to preparations for such payments rather than to any great improvement in trade, must be attributed the great addition to the dia. counts.

The bullion has fallen off, although 1,50,0001. gold was sent into the Bank during the week embraced by the return. The absorption has probably been caused by an in creased circulation of coin for harvest labour and tourists' purposes. On the other hand the reserve has gained an accession of resources that may be pronounced considerable. The languid character of the demand for money is indicated by the slight diminution in the private deposits, and the still smaller increase in the private securities.

The directors' report states the estimated profit on the operations for the six months ending December last at 2,939/., but which has been reduced to 2,0011. by an over estimate of the copper on hand on the 30th of June, 1867. The latter sum, it is stated, will be sufficient for the payment of an ad interim dividend of Gd. per share, after paying interest at the rate, of 5 per cent. to the reserve fund, which now stands at 11,9601. The Stannaries Court proposes, on the 2nd of September, to make a call of 11. a. per share on the contributories of the Penhale and Lomax Con solidated Silver Lead Mining Company (Limited).

ENGLISHWOMEN IN P,uue.—Yesterday (August 17), says a Parisian correspondent, persons stopped short in the middle of the Rue de la Pair to observe a group of Englishwomen who looked like a herd of boars about the jaw and like a troop of parrot* from the vivid and varied colours of their costumes. They must have gone in pairs to buy those pretty dresses of striped percale of which we have often spoken, and they generally wear thepetticoat of the one colour with the dress of the other, which enables them to have a blue dress on a red petticoat and a red dress on a blue petticoat. They discovered that petticoats of the same colour are not striking, and they therefore ary them. Not being able to get these odd dresses and petticoats made up singly at any establishment these ladies combine to purchase in pairs the bright colours with which they strut about the streets of Paris. The French Transatlantic Mail steamship Laurent arrived at New York from Brest on the 28th ult., in nine and a half days. The completion of the harvest in this neighbour hood (says the Seasaford Mercury) has been followed by some beneficial showers, which have given a wonderful impetus to vegetation ; and it is now hoped that, notwith standing the ravages of the long drought, the eerience of the year 1828 will be repeated, and that before . the autumn *lowa there will be sasbuliclaaos of foe - - stack meitheufr. the necessity . itmorting to --. me artificial food.
