BACCP.--SEVERAL PER .OY4 IsA:arm—Yesterday morning • serious collision occurred on the East Lancashire section of the Lincashire and Yorkshire Railway, near Bacup. The line from Rawtenstall to Recur, a distance of four miles, is • single one, and contains many tunnels and curves. A passenger train from Manchester arrived at Licup at 8.55, and in five minutes was ag a i n d es p a tched to Manchester. It seems that in the meantime &goals train had been despatched from Rawtenstall to Bump, but was unable to reach the station before the passenger train started out, and the result was that just as the passenger train em,rged from Holt Tunnel the luggage train ran into it, and a collision ensued. The engine of the luggage train was smashed to pieces, and the tender of the passenger engine was completely destroyed. There were but few people in the passenger train, but several of them were Injured. LOGGING GAROTTERS AT THE LEEDS BOROUGH Coat—Yesterday the punishment of the lash was in flicted, at Armlet' gaol near Leeds, on those garotters who had been sentenced at the West Hiding midzes, held in August last. The criminals were William Casey, Henry Campbell, and Samuel Hint. The triangle was a new and strong structure, so framed as to prevent the writh ing' of the men under the blows disturbing its equili brium. Hint, a small slim man, did not flinch until the 13th stroke had been administered, and at the eighth stroke long weals disfigured his back. When the puninh ment, which in each instance occupied about two minutes, was over, Hint cried out, in a half sobbing manner, " Oh take me away, the first stroke was the hardest." Camay, when the eighth cut of the c a t fell across his naked shoulders, gave utterance to a prolonged " Oh," and at the fourteenth stroke this cry of pain was intermingled with a convulsive sob. Afterwards, he set his teeth firmly, st,i grimly observed, when released from the triangle, and in allusion to his trousers having become torn during his struggles, that " they bad spoiled his breeches, and would have to provide him with another pair." Camp bell, the third prisoner, was • vigorous-looking fellow, awl he is suspected of being • returned convict. He bore himself with almost Spartan equanimity, though the blood flowed from the weals on his right shoulder after the sixth stroke, and never uttered a cry or a word during his evidently severe punishment. INCENDIARISM BY A GIRL—A young girl named Jane Hales, a domestic servant in the fern) of Mr. John Naimoli, Shade Oak, Shropshire, has been committed for billet the county assizes upon a charge of anon. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Nielson since April, and was enaged up to Christmas, but her general conduct was so bad that her master had repeatedly offered to pay her wages and let her go, but she refused to leave ening her wages were paid for the full term of her engagement. About 8 o'clock in the evening of the lot instant the cow-house was discovered to be on fire, and in a abort time the principal farm-buildings, and the whole of the contents of the stack-yard, the produce of sixty acres, were destroyed. The prisoner's conduct, both previous and subsequent to the discovery of the fire was such that her master felt justified in giving her in charge to the police. When arrested she stated that about half an hour before the fire was discovered, she had gone into the cow-house to look for a pail, end, after striking a match, she threw it down near the straw, and this she supposed " woo the origin of the fire. Mr. Nickson's pro. lerty was uninsured, and much sympathy is felt with him in his misfortune. A committee of the leading &grind lutists of the neighbourhood has 'seen organised with a view to raising a subscription to cover his loss. THE HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON.—Yesterday at the Crystal Palace tbe Sunday scholars of the metropo lis gave what is called their " offering to the homeless boys of London," with whom now are associated as re cipients of the benefit the children of the Royal Albert Orphan Asylum. This has become a regularly recurring festival. Unfortunately the weather was far from pro pitious, but notwithstanding this drawback is large number of visitors made their way down to Sydenham ; indeed, the choristers themscl.es who were to take part in the concert constituted a contingent to which it needed the addition of but few to make the attendance considerable. The time pre vious to the musical performances was occupied by visits to the various courts of the building, and at 3 o'clock the conductor gave the signal to commence the concert. The aspect of the Handel orchestra at that time was as inter esting as it was picturesque, crowded as it was to its top most tier by • chorus numbering nearly 5,080 voices. In front stood the tiny tars of the training ship Chichester, attired in their miniature naval costume, and OD the right of the centre trarempt an appropriate rophy had been placed, conaistinz of • model of the Chichester, supported by two of the little sailors holding aloft in their hands our national naval flags. WEYHILL CELEBRATED FAlL—This great annual fair commences to-day (Thursday), and will be held exclu sively for the sale of sheep, and for several days past large droves have continued to arrive from all parts of the country, and large flocks are folded up. The horse show and fair will begin on Friday. and the great hop mart will formally opened on Saturday, but business will not actually commence till Monday next. At present very h.., loads of hops have arrived, and it is expected the aonply will be • short one. and that unprecodentedly high prima will be obtained. The cheese fair will open next week, and the fair will last six days. The Hants consta bulary have taken up their usual quarters. EARLY Wirfres.—On Friday morning all the Montgomeryshire, Denbighshire, and Merionethshire moun tain* were covered deep in snow, and there was ice on the lower hills to the thickness of a penny piece. The whole Ix ' u narr, except in the valleys, was covered with a white rn antle, and the snow remained on the ground up to In or 11 o'clock. The few swallows left appeared quite out of their element. Three days previously the weather in the genie district was delightfully balmy and summer like. REMARKS. Strong westerly winds have been blowing in Ireland and In the English Channel since yesterday ; and mach rain has fallen on these coasts—exceeding an Inch at Penzance. The baro metrical presence has Increased In the north, and decreased in the south, accompanied by light variable winds In the north, and fresh northerly winds in the south and east. At Yarmouth there is a gale from S.F., force Q Temperatures have generally risen, and are highest In the west. There have been fog and hail at Scarborough. Weather I now fine In Siadland. HER MAJESTY'S STAOHOUNDS. —On Tuee.lay next, the 13th instant, the hunting season with the royal pack commences, and during the present month the bunt ing, as is customary, will be confined to the Forest, for the purpose of getting the young bounds into perfect train. ing. The meets are fixed for Tuesdays and Fridays. On the 4th of November, being the first Monday in that month, the regular bunting season will commence ; the meet will be at Salt-hill. Since the death of Mr. Davis, the royal huntsman, Mr. Henry King has been appointed to succeed him. King is a man of great experience, both at the kennel and in the field, and he has long made him self a great favourite with the gentlemen who attend the hunt. We learn that both horses and hounds are in capital condition, and there is every prospect of • first rate season. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAM6B.—A match has been arranged between Harry Kelley and Joe Sadler, both of Putney, who will contend for stakes, in value 6001., and the chanspionshipof the Thames, at present held by Kelley. To this honour Sadler aspires. The men will row on the 27th proximo ; the course is to be with tide from Putney to Mortlake. The previous performances of both these re doubtable 'callers invest the present contest with parti cular interest. Kelley proved by his latest race that he is as good as ever. Sadler, • landsman, is • man of immense vigour and conspicuous skill, end the races he has already rowed against some of the best men have won him many partisans, who are particularly hopeful of him now. BETTING IN THE STREETS.—On the let proximo, the provision in the New Traffic Act against betting in the street will be enforced. Any " three" or more persons assembled together in • street for betting are to be deemed an obstruction, and may be taken into custody by • police. constable, on view of the same, in the City of London or in the metropolis, without a warrant, and to be liable to a fine of not exceeding Si. THROUGH • LUCIFER MATCH.—About 9 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday some straw lying to the windward of • barn at the north-end of the home farm in the occupation of Mr. George Goldumith, at Sepia ton, as well as that side of the barn itself, were found to be in flames, and, a strong wind blowing at the time, the imminent danger of a large amount of pro perty was at once apparent; and • measeuger wasdespa htc ed to Ixworth for the fire-engines, and to Mr. Goldsmith, who hadgone to Bury-market. Scarcely out of the direct line of the wind stood a granary well stored with corn and beyond it • large barn containing produce like that already in flames, while across the road were several thatched cottages, the inhabitants of which were for the most part absent at work. Assistance, how ever, was at once obtained, both on the spot and from the neighbouring villages, the Duke of Grafton, of whose estate the village of Sapiston forms a part, aml a nobleman staying at Easton Hall, being among the earliest and moat energetic of those who gave their help. The conflagration speedily reduced to ruined walls • barn, containing wheat, chaff, straw, and utensils, a cart-horse stable, and • row of piggeries, one of the I inmates of which also perished in the flames, and damaged part of the ritling.stable ; and passing ty the papery, which was happily rescued from damage beyond • slight charring of some of the external wood work, almost levelled with the ground another barn. containing • quantity of barley and straw, and a bullock shed. At the same time the burning masses bad been carried to the thatch of the nearest of the opposite cottages, which was occupied by • numerous family, and so rapidly devoured the roof and the clay walls that an infant sleeping in its cradle within was only rescued with great difficulty, and none of the possessions of its inmates could be saved from destruction. Five other cottages, the farthest being more than a quarter of a rrile distant, met with the some fate, and the poor people who inhabited them had barely time to carry out a por den of their goods and chatfels. Twenty-one persons were thus in a short time rendered homeless, and desti tute of almost everything they possessed except the clothes they stood in. Another farmstead, with a full rickyard, was also in great danger, but eventually escaped. Later in the day the engines had to be set to work again to extinguish some of the straw which had been carried from the ruins and spread over • neigh bourfng field, and bursting into flames threatened • second conflagration, and though rain fell heavily before seven o'clock, the work of extinguishing the embers lasted for an hour or two longer. The poor women and children, who lingered till dark over the ruins of their homes, found temporary shelter with relations or kind neighbours. The fire was caused by • little boy about five years old, who had picked up • match and set light t some loose straw, from which the flames were at once blown upon the barn. The buildings and their content+ were insured. —Bury and Norwich Post THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1867. SHARE LIST&-(THIS DAY.) OILDINAIIf BEAM £$D lITOOI6.

These were pleasant meetings—so thoroughly social : there was far more sociality among ac quaintances some forty years ago than now ; so, in no elaborate full-dress, or prepared to meet a full-dressed party with " Jeames ta e nnonnce the names," but as • weekly gathering of friends who all felt themselves at home, we met, taking tea together, and enjoying some three hours' conversation on a subject previously arranged, and sometimes introduced by a short essay. It was in the spring of 1820, at one of those meetings, at the house of an Islington friend, that a very young man, apparently in delicate health, first appeared among us. He was • neighbour, we were told, and very partial to lite rary pursuits ; but although he seemed to take a quiet interest in the discussion, he never joined in it ; indeed, we think he was silent the whole evening. When the notice of the next meeting was given the new visitor was invited to join it ; and very goon after, as • re gular member. Thomas flood took his place among us. "Thomas Hood" -that pale, solemn, earnest-looking young man, so quiet, so reticent—we bad almost said so shy—whoever could dream that the author of the "Comic Annual," of the world-famed " Song of the Shirt," of that unrivalled " Eugene Aram's Dream," was there among vs.—British Quarterly Retitle, new number. MONEY MARSET.-(THIS DAY.) On oViaca. The accounts from abroad continue favourable, and an increased amount of speculative business at firm quotations is reported in Mincing-lane, yet the stock markets are without the slightest ten dency towards animation. There is, in fact, an almost entire absence of transactions, and prices generally are quoted the fume as yesterday. It is thought, however, that rather more activity will be apparent later in the day, upon the receipt of quotations from the Paris Bourse. Consols, and nearly all the foreign bonds and home railway stocks, are without altera tion, but the latter are slightly firmer. Some of the colonial government securities, including Queensland, meet with inquiry, as well as Z-20 Bonds. Good paper is still taken in the discount market at If to le per cent., andloans on English Govern ment securities are übta , nable in the Stock Ex change at I. Consols are quoted 941 to 2 for money and 94 to 1 for the account (Nov. 7). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are unaltered, at 92 to 1 2 , ex div. Very few transactions have been recorded in British railway stocks, but prices are rather firm. London and North Western is in request, and has risen per cent., viz., to 114 to 4. Metropolitan and Brighton are better, at 1231 to 1241 and 531 to respectively. Great Western is quoted 47 4 to I; Midland, 120 to ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 127 to 4 ; Caledonian, 1044 to ; South Eastern, 681 to 2 ; Great Eastern, 322 to d ; Great Northern, 1091 i to 1104 ; ditto A,1167 to 117 ; Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, 191 to ; and North British, 33 to 4. As regards foreign stocks, Spanish Passive and Mexican are I per cent. lower, at 19k to / and 15 to I, respectively, but the other descriptions are unchanged. Turkish cf 1862 are at 62 to 63 ; ditto, 1865, 31f to ; Greek, 13f to I ; Spanish Certifi cates, 16f to ; Italian, 1861, 46f to f ; Chilian scrip, / dis. to / prem. ; and Egyptian, 1864, 82/ to 83i. American securities aro in request, at an ad vance. The 5-20 Bonds aro called 71/ to 72/, showing a rise off per cent. ; Erie Railway shares, 43/ to 44, being f higher ; and Illinois Central, 77/ to 78—an improvement of f. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are steady—the former at 17R to and the latter at 3} to I. Bank shares are steady, with a moderate amount of business. London and Westminster are quoted 68i to 69 ; Union of London, 37 to 38 ; Imperial Ottoman, II to 11 dia. ; Alliance, 1011 to 9} die. ; Oriental Corporation, 44} to ; and London and County, 55 to 56. Financial shares are without change, apart from a slight rise in General Credit, viz., to 2 3-16 to 2 1-16 dis. International Financial are 2k to 21 dis. ; London Financial, 22.1 to 21 dis. ; and Credit Foncier, 52 to 5 dis. The half-yearly meeting of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company will be held on the let of November, when the directors will ask for authority to convert into debenture stock as they fall due bonds and debentures of any portion of the borrowed capital of 4,000,0001., issued with the sanction of the council of India, and bearing a fixed half-yearly interest of five per cent. per annum. It will also he proposed that the board shall raise from time to time additional moneys by the issue of debenture stock. The half-yearly meeting of the West Flanders Railways Company will be held on the 31st inst.- in London, and at Bruges on the 4th of November. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Mediterranean Bank (Limited), which is now being wound up, will be held on the Ist of November, to receive a report from the liquidators. The demand for gold for exportation has in creased, and the whole of the 204,0001. Australian, by the Moravian, has been purchased for the con tinent. In addition, 32,0001. in bars was with drawn from the Bank yesterday for the same destina tion, but 9,0001. was sent in. Since the date of the last return, 135,0001. has been bought by the Bank, while 09,000/. has been taken out fur ex port. At the present season a great deal of coin is required in the provinces. The Cape mail steamer Celt has taken out 30,000 sovereigns. Further tenders were invited yesterday for the New Zealand Province of Auckland Government Loan, but the result was not announced. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5,8021. over :ast year, and the Midland an increase of 4,930/. With regard to the latter line, it is officially stated that " the additional 50 miles from Bedford to London are at present only partially used for goods traffic." . The traffic return of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 21st ult. shows an increase of 4821. compared with the correspond ing period of 1866. The annexed paragraph, relating to the San Paulo Railway, is from a trustworthy source : It is stated that the Brazilian government haveisrranged with the San Paulo P.ailway Company the question as to the funds to be provided to cover the guaranteed interest at the rate of 7 per cent., and that the requisite amount has already been paid. At the same time the development of the traffic continues highly favourable, and an effort will be made among the landed proprietors of the locality to extend the line as aeon as possible, at their own cost, 26 miles, to the coffee growing district of Campinas. The Ban Paulo Railway was opened on the loth of February, and the cash dividend to be declared will, therefore, it is presumed extend from that date to the 30th June. _ _ _ The eighth ordinary general meeting of the Stan dard Bank of British South Africa (Limited) will be held on the 25th instant, when a dividend will be declared. An extraordinary general meeting of the Singa pore Gas Company (Limited) is fixed for the 29th inst., when a dividend is to be declared. A general meeting of the Royal Portuguese Railways Company is convened for the 9th Decem ber, at Lisbon Creditors of the Continental Gas and Water Company (Limited) are required to send the parti culars of their claims to Mr. E. P. Rowsell, of Graceehurch-street, the liquidator, by the 20th instant. Creditors of Gale's Protected Gunpowder Com pany (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to Mr. C. F. Kemp and Mr. H. W. Petre, the liquidators, by the 31st instant. The subjoined report with reference to the market for American securities is from Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. : Since our last the London market for United States bonds has been entirely influenced by continental news, and during the week in sympathy with the panic on the Paris Bourse 5-20 Bonds were sold as low as 14, and the 1865 issue at 69k, but from this point there has been a rally, and the market to-day is steady at quotations. The chief feature in shares has been a rise in Erie. of 2 dole., while Illinois on good buying close nearly 1 dol. higher. Sujoined is a report of yesterday's indigo sale : 1 The sale has gone unevenly to-day, and prices were not quite so firm as yesterday for Bengal ; for Madras and Kurh there was no change. The quantity withdrawn was large. 1,710 chests passed to-day, of which 80$ chests were withdrawn, 152 chests bought in, and 750 chests sold. Total quantity passed 3,211 chests, of which 1,479 have I been sold, 1,163 withdrawn, and 569 bought in. The annexed is from Mr. Helmuth Schwartze's Wool Price Current dated yesterday : The fourth and last series of this year's Liverpool sales of East India wool has been fled to commence on Tues day, the 29th instant. The present arrivals comprise 10,160 bales, which quantity will probably be further in. U'. prim*.

Total, to4,pos bales, and about 10,400 b.,lee, principally Cape, are afloat. and expected to arrive in time. Little or nothing has been doing since the close of last sales. Fresh importa dons are offered in the market, but find no buyers. or manufacturers are well supplied, and looking at the very bad state of trade. and the large gum ' tit ? of Cape coming forward, we look for rather easier piton for that description. - _ - Messrs. Richatd Gibbs and Co.'s monthly tea circular, dated yesterday, contains the following : London, Oct. 0,184;7. The arrivals and departures since our last are as follow. rivals at ond o n Xusiaos, Series, Flying Spur, China man, Ziba, Taitsing, Black Prince, Deerfoot, Yang Tale, White Adder, Min. and Lord Collingwood. Departures from London—Avon and C'armai idienshira, for Hong Kong; Deana and Elizabeth A. Oliver, for Shanghai ; and Broad yr .er, for Kanagawa. Business for the past fortnight has been chiefly confined to ope-ations in the fine to finest de scriptions of the new Kelso is of which chimes the supply is most limited ; the medium kinds, comprising the bulk of the prescnt arrivals, are very difficult of sale, and the few transactio is reported show a decline on previous quota tions. The arrita's from Foo Chow have been large during the last four days, and, with few exceptions, the samples to hand confirm the previous opinions of the crop. New Honing. have met with some tuquiii, their quality having attracted attention ; but in the absence of any further arrivals the business has necessarily been limite d Scented teas have been in fair demand, the be.ter classes of caper meeting with ready buyers. In ()oolongs a moderate business is reported, desirable parcels commanding full prices. The public sales for the fortnight comprised 10,800 packages, of which 10,'..100 were sold " without reserve." A small quer tity of the new Kaisow, of medium descrip tion, was offered, and realised from Is. 41d. to Is. iid. per lb. The stork of tea in the United Kingdom we estimate at about 60,500,000 lbs., against 81,100,000 lbs., and the toantity afloat (including the arrivals not yet taken into stock) at about 48,000,000 lbs., against 44,000,000 lbs. at the corresponding period last year.

Indian government securities remain very steady. Exchequer Bills were quoted 255. to 30s. prem.
