Gunpowder and paraffin oil were found strewed about, and • dark lantern was discovered with a candle burning, also matches and other combustibles. A good silk hat and • very old carpet bag, smelling strongly of paraffin, were found on the premises. The property was sold about • fortnight ago for 4501. to • Mr. Robert Kingsford, of 17, Great Queen-street, London, and the insurance policy was handed over at the same time, the insurance being for 6001. In three days from • the time of the fire the policy would expire. On Monday night • man, who gave his name as William Cairns, was arrested by 8 • tendent Vanatone as he was about to leave Bideford by the last train. He immediately tele graphed to Mrs. Withers, of No. 17, Great Queen-street. London, apprising her that he was arrested on • charge of setting fire to a house, and asking to have money for warded. As he was walking over the bridge in custody to the police station, he threw • brown paper parcel be had in his possession into the river ; it has not yet been found. This parcel the accused had left at the Mimes Rowe's, Mill-street, in the morning of Monday, and called for it in the afternoon. On Tuesday the prisoner was brought before the mayor, Dr. Ackland, Mr. T. L and Mr. T. B. Chanter. He was respectably dressed in black clothes, about 22 years of age, and of very good ad dress. Mr. Chas. Small* smeared on behalf of the Weetel England Life and Fire Insurance Office for the peewit tion, and called Superintendent Vanstone, who deposed that • fire took place on Sunday night in a house lately occupied by Mr. Charles Veysey, and he had reason to believe that the prisoner, William Cairns, set the house on fire. Mr. Smile applied for eight day' remand. The pri soner said be was • stranger to Bideford, but he could give • pod account of why he came there. He had left his wife at Exeter, where she was to spend Christmas, and bad come on to Bideford against her wish to see • friend, • woman whom be had known in London. He objected to the remand unless some evidence was given to justify it ; observing that his detention was a serious matter to him, as he held • responsible situation. If they had a clear case, as they mid they had, they could now proceed. The Mayor said Mr. Sande must produce further evidence. Miss Ellen Balch said the accused came to her mother's house, the Terminus Inn, on Sunday evening, at nine o'clock, and took • little brandy and asked for a bed. lie asked it they went to bed early. Her mother said " but he could stay out until 11 o'clock." The prisoner had on a high hat, apparently a silk hat, and a dark carpet beg with him, and he took the bag out with him. He returned just before midnight. Cross-examined by the prisoner : The bag was not very small ; thought it was • high hat. The hat and carpet bag found in the house were produced; and the prisoner asked if witness could swear to them as being the ones in his 'on on Sun day night. The Mayor, however, said he had better re serve hie defence, as they had decided to remand him until Saturday next at eleven o'clock. Prisoner asked foe bail, and to be allowed writing materials to write to his friends. This was conceded, the letters written to be under the inspection of the superintendent of polka. Prisoner stated that he could get good bail from friends at Tiverton. The police, thinking that there must be other charges against the prisoner, took him in the after ipart of the day to Mr. Tedrake's photographic establish ment, and bad his portrait taken for the_purpom of being sent to various pollee -stations.— Western Morning News.

DESTRUCTION OF GRAIN AND SNUFF MILLS BY Fi RE. —A fire of • destructive character broke out on Tues day night at Boag's mills, near Slateford.

He said that, in a question such as was now before the Chamber, an understanding with the government was necessary. M.

I A Washington telegram says :—"The President sent to the Senate to-day a melange giving his reasons for the SOSFOnIiOn of the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War on the 12th of Angustlast. A copy of this menage can not now be procured for publication, nor wu the document read in open Senate ; but the following, it is believed, are the essential points of the document :—' It will be reool looted that the President, for considerations of a high character, requested Secretary Stanton to resign his office and that Mr. Stanton, in reply, quoting the phrase of the President, said that considerations of a higher character' alone had induced him to continue at the head of the de- ; pertinent, and constrained him not to resign the office of Secretary of War before the nextmesting of Congress. This, the President says, was not merely a declination of coin pliant* with the request for his resignation, but was a defiance. Whatever propriety there might be in the az- ' ;wombs of his opinions to others, one thing was certain— % mil offisial seiseendset, to say the least of it, to parade them before his superior officer, and showed a want of pro per respect and dignity for the President.' " Ia addition to the above-recited ground of the secretary why he did not resign, he denied the President's right to remove him. But the President says that under Mr. Stanton's sense of duty he could not refer to the law creating the war department, for that confers on the Dxsident the right to remove the head of the department. Th e wa y Other law under which Mr. Stanton could plead ex t enua ti on o f hi a &induct wu that in relation to the tenure of office. Nothing In that law compelled him to re in office. He was free at in time to resign The Tenure of Office Bill did not pass siltak: ut n°4°. • /Ever/member of the cabinet was consulted upon Lhe Sibs jut, and particularly the Attorney-Oeneral and Mr. Stanton, the litter formerly having held the office of Attorney- GeneraL Mr. Stanton's condemnation of the law, the Presi dent says, was most elaborate and emphatic. Some reference is made to the circumstances under which the President retained his predecessor's cabinet, including Mr. Stanton, and he remarks as to the proposed mode of re-construct . _ . ing, the Southern States, all the members were in perfect accord with himself. The President, after setting forth his view of the cue, assigns a special ground for the sus pension of Mr. Stanton. It will be recollected that during the summer of 1866, General Baird telegraphed from New Orleans to the fieenstary of We, that a oenvention was about to assemble, and that the Governor and City authori ties, thinking it was an unlawful assembly, would break it up. The general asked the Secretary for instructions to be telegraphed to him at once. Mr. Stanton did not, how ever, give General Band the desired order, nor did he communicate the fact of the reception of the despatch to the President, who knew nothing of its existence until ten days after it came into Mr. Stanton's hands, and not until after the riot had occurred. The President there fore takes the ground that Mr. Stanton was responsible for delinquency, and that if he (the President) had known that General Baird bad sought advice the riot might have been prevented. The President holds that, so far as the public interests are concerned, there is no cause to regret the removal of Mr. Stanton, for the present secretary ad interim has, by his manures of economy, Bartel millions of dollars to the government. " In the United States Senate, on the 13th,'the bill re gulating the selections of jurors in Utah was reported favourably by the committee, and its passage recom mended. It provides for marriages in that territory, and forbids polygamy or sealing of wives, mac:wi ll:72r the teachings of the Mormon church. The bill for the exemption from tax of cotton grown after 1867 was called up and postponed, after alight discussion, until Monday, the 16th.

Shortly after four o'clock this evening a light was observed proceeding from the letter-box of a post-office in Church-lane. On the box being opened it was found that the light came from a number of small packages about the size of pen boxes, which were addressed severally to gentle. men connected with the Vioeregal Court, to Colonel Lake, commissioner of police ; to Superintendent Ryan, of the detectives, ke. Two policemen were called in, and when constable Hi!las was handling the packages one of them exploded, burning him severely. No clue to the author of the outrage nas yet been discovered. THE FENT-ANS AND THE THEATRES.—Lest night, about nine o'clock, we understand, a message was sent to Mr. F. B. Chatterton, from the authorties at Scotland. yard, advising him to look after his money-boxes. What the police feared, or what "information they had received," was not exactly stated, but the lessee of Drury-lane immediately acted upon the hint. THE MURDER OF A GIRL IN SHROPSH IRE. SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY. The inquest on Catherine Lewis was held today. A verdict of " Wilful murder" against Mapp was returned. The popular feeling is very strong against the prisoner, who was greeted with loud yells and hisses on leaving the court. ARMING THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. —The ne cessity of arming at least some portion of the metropolitan police at the present crisis seems determined upon, as yes terday, in compliance with an order from Sootland-yard, • certain number of men from each division were ordered to ' assemble at given stations for instruction in the use of six chamber revolvers. Throughout the previous night and Christmas-day some anxiety wag experienced in conse quence of more than one communication having been re ceived by the police that there was a preooncerted arrange ment to blow up the South Metropolitan Company's Gas works, situate on the banks of tho Surrey Canal, near the Old Kent road. Every precaution was taken by the police authorities to guard against such suweeedintention,which, if it ever existed, was not attempted to be carried out. ACCIDENT ON CANNON-STREET BRIDGE. —The lines of rail, and the crossings upon them, on Cannon- street bridge are more numerous and complicated, and the traffic upon them greater, probably, than upon any rail- I way bridge in the world. The passengers who use the Charing-cross line have abundant occasions to admire the regularity and speed with which this difficult traffic is generally worked. Since the opening of the Cannon-street station the enormous traffic has been conducted with marvellous rapidity, regularity, and safety; but yester day's fog applied a severe test under which she system, as need not be wondered at, failed. The fog was dense throughout the whole day, and a liberal amount was ex pended upon detonating signals, the ordinary semaphores being perfectly useless except at a few yards' distance. A Greenwich train, due about half-past nine, had the signals against its entering Cannon-street, when a train from Willesden junction and Kensington, via Waterloo, ran up to it to enter upon the same line. A rather violent concussion resulted, and some of the pas sengers in the front part of the Greenwich train sustained contusions and flesh wounds, none of them, as we were informed, being very seriously injured. A pas senger by a following train informs our reporter, however, that in coming up about half an hour after the accident happened lie saw four persons removed upon stretchers, and these were probably a small portion of the injured. The utmost activity was manifested by the company's officers and servants, and in little more than an hour the injured carriage and broken materials were removed, and the line was cleared for traffic. In the evening the fog became much more dense, and the company's servants wisely sacrificed revenue rather than risk life, the Charing cross traffic being almost discontinued after dark. The Greenwich trains, which usually perform the journey in about twenty minutes, were an hour on the way, and pas senger had to wait for an hour at Cannon-street for a train for Charing-cross. The signal statics semaphore arms during the day, and the coloured lights at melt. were invisible at fi fty yards from the signal bons. THE LATE FENIAN OUTRAGE IN CLERKENWELL. --...--- DEPUTATION TO _THE EXCHEQUER. lit OF THE i Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the corn ; mates appointed to relieve the sufferers by the recent Fenian outrage at the House of Detention waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Downing-street for the ptuposs of ascertaining the views of the government as regards indemnification. The deputation was composed of, amongst others, the following :—The Rev. R. Medium, incumbent of Clerkenwell, the Bev. A. R. Herring, Mr. Churchwarden Wilicocks, Mr. Churchwarden Nunn, Mr. H. Prownall, chairman of the Middlesex magistrates ; Mr. B. J. Thompson, member of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; and Messrs. R. H. Jonas, E. D. Johnson, T. Dix, J. W. Franklin, G. Baywell, W. Gillingwater (vestry. men of the perish of Clerkenwell ; Mr. Overseer Chubb, Mr. Wortley, Mr. Ayers, he. The Rev. R. Magnum, in the absence of Mr. Torrens, M.P., introduced the deputation. He said it was felt by the relief committee to be the proper time to put them salvos into communication with the government on this important subject. All parties were desirous of asoer i taining what was best to be done in this painful emer gamy. The application to-day was on public grounds. It was not • local cause that had brought this toil upon Clark =well, although unhappily the results had been local- Med. One of her Majesty's prisons was situated in Clerk enwell, and as • notable prisoner was imprisoned there, an attempt at rescue had been made there, and the evil of which they were aware had occurred. Therefore it was that Clerkenwell had become the vicarious sacrifice for all England. The blow was intended, not for Clarkenwedl but for England, and the member of the body that received the blow was Clerkenwell. Therefore he thought the maxim ought to be " whether if one member stiffer, all the =em bus suffer with it." Hence the deputation. The com mittee represented a benevolent fund ' , Walt tit first did not contemplate any more than the supply of the ordinary necessities of the sufferers—that is, the provision of new abodes, furniture, help to theme thrown out of work, mare of the children of the sufferers, the purchase of tools, and the general reparation of shattered tenements. All this the committee had been doing, end would con tinue to do until their task wee complete. But besides all these things there was the much larger and greater question of the buildings, some of which were in rum; and many more in • shattered condition. He had himself personally taken account of the number of booms thus affected—in all 200, and containing Dome 600 families. The solicitor acting for the sufferers bad stated at the committee that already 50 of the householders bad claimed for damages under 30L each, and the claims of 50 more ranged from 301. to 2,0001. respectively. It was felt by many that the case was similar to that of • bombarded town, wherein inoffensive inhabitants suffered by reason of their vicinity to the place attacked. He felt that on • moderate calculation this destruction of property would involve an expense of 12,0001. to 15,0001. to repair and restore it. He was more anxious to state this because of his recent assertion that the total lees would be about 6,0001. That statement referred only to the ordinary needs created by the catas trophe, but would be far from covering the wholelosa, which would include dismantled houses, shattered furniture, homes in utter ruin , tools and wor king materials lost, 40 persons in hospital maimed and disfigured, some of them for life, and for many of whom annuities would have to be provided. And than, above all these, there war the matter of the buildings themselves, • matter which, unless amply provided for, would involve the owners in utter ruin. This was • national woe. It was a woe which had fallen on the particular locality of these people, and therefore it was that they now came to the government for advice, and help in proportion to the exigencies of their respective oases. Mr. Churchwarden WILLCOCKS said they had not at tended for the purpose of dictating any course which the government ought to pursue. They merely wished to in form the government what was now being done for the relief of the sufferers. Private benevolence had its limits, besides which many persons were of opinion that either the (oyes r ment or the county were liable for the amount of damage done, and that persons should not be allowed to suffer for the occurrence of a disaster over width they had no control. It was therefore thought that the government should come forward and assist the committee with funds if such assistance should be required. The Rev. T. E. THORISBY said it must be well known to the right hon. gentleman that many persons had been turned out of their houses and homes by the recent terrible out rage, and not only so, but that all their furniture, tool., and in many cases their stock in trade had been de stroyed, and it was generally felt that unless the govern ment came to the assistance of Clerkeuwell many of the greatest sufferers would not receive anything like an adequate compensation for the injuries they bad sus tabled. He might inform the right bon. gentleman that the committee had that morale, passed • resolution, which was as follows :—' ' The ob jects for which we apply to the government are, firstly, for an amount sufficient to meet the damage done to the buildings ; and, secondly, for an amount sufficient to grant annuities to those who have received permanent injury. The reasons which make it necessary to seek the help of the government are-1. The amount of subscrip tions received, and probably to be received, will not he more than equal to the relief of the sufferers who have been blown out of their houses, having their furniture and their tools destroyed, and their employment lost. 2. It is nearly certain that the comity is not liable for any of the damage done, and therefore no help can be expected from that source. It is feared therefore that unless the govern ment come to the assistance of Clerkenwell, the heaviest sufferers will be left to sink in utter ruin. Inasmuch as the suffering and loss were canted by an attack of the Fenian on one of her Majesty's gaols, the event is national, and one in which her Majesty's government may with greet propriety render assistance in this most deplorable and overwhelming outrage and emergency. Mr. B. J. THOMPauN said the committee wished to know whether, supposing the very generous private subscrip tions coming in should fall abort, they might rely upon obtaining from the government the implied promise that they would step in and enable them to place the sufferers in possession of those social and moral benefits which they enjoyed before the commission of the outrage. Whether the government or the county were liable was a legal question which would be shortly determined ; but it was perfectly clear that some one must pee. If they appealed to the country at large it was pro ba ble they might get a sufficient amount of money ; but the question was whether if such a resource fell short the government would come to the rescue. . A conversation then took place as to the tenure of the possession of the demolished and injured houses, :after which The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER have lis tened with very great interest to the statement you have made, and I cannot help expressing my opinion that you have all shown a great deal of public spirit in Clerken well by tho way in which you have come forward to re lieve the necessities of the sufferers by the late calamity. Your worthy incumbent also deserves a great deal of respect and praise from the country at large for his indefatigable efforts in this matter. I must say that, acting under the great excitement which naturally arose at the moment and the absorbing nature of the outrage, the government came forward in order to supply the more pressing necessities of the sufferers, but still I cannot help thinking that the question ; as to the necessity for funds has never yet been really put before the country, nor has any adequate idea yet been given of the actual amount of damage done. There is, as you are all aware, deep sympathy in the minds and hearts of the people of this great nation, and I doubt sot you will receive a ready response if those sympathies are only pro- Perir appealea to, but still, at the same time, I and others with whom I am associated have felt that we should like to know what amount you would be likely to require before we come forward with governmental assistance. So far as the government is concerned I way at once tell you that the sympathy of the Cabinet is as firth as ever, but I do not think your cause would be at all injured if you were now at once to appeal to the eympathiesof theeountry at large. I think sonic general statement of the effects of the calamity, of the various classes of su ff erers, and the several kinds of sufferers, would do you a vast deal of good and bring you all the assistance is the shape of funds you luny require. I have no doubt you will take some action in that direction, and I should think if you were to call another public meeting you would give the adjoining districts an opportunity of contributing towards the general fund. I say general fund, because I consider this a general thing, and as you will have doubt less to appeal to other districts it is just as well that you should take advantage of it at once. There are also other modes of accomplishing the same result, such as publish ing letters in the various leading journals signed on behalf of your oommittee, and I think the whole of your case should he at once laid before the public. That at least is my impression, for, as I told you, I do not think the case of the sufferers in the various branches of trade and =DU facture carriod on in Clerkenwell has yet been before the country in that complete form in which I think it might be. You should prepare a statement which would not only show the various classes of the sufferer., but at the same time a fair estimate of the complete for sustained and the amount necessary to supply every little necessity, and then I have not the slightest doubt you would find that ample funds would be pro vided to reach them. Again, I may frankly tell you that I know pumas—in hot, I myself bars wished to Mad la a subscription to the funds—who did not know where snob sums ss they might wish to have applied to the purpose ware to be met ; and beyond this, we have heard that the clam of people who have suffered would have all their leases made up out of the funds that hays already been subscribed. Now all you require may, I think, be s000m• pllshed by some of the means I have sonested, so as to pat the case oompletely and fairly before the country, which, as I have said, I believe has not yet been dons. And I think that would best be done by calling a public meeting outside ClirkenwelL A himisin of the deputation—Supposing that after doing all you have suggested there remains still a defi ciency, how is the loss to be made up to these poor people ! The CHANCELLOR of the Excuneuen—l would not con template such a state of things, for I am convinced if there is a fair appeal made there would be ample fonds forthcoming to meet every just rid= Of came, all rub scribers would look to the committee of management for the proper distribution of the fund& You know it is not desirable that government should always interfere in such cases, but this was one of a very peml kind, and I may tell you that the reason the government acted as they did was bemuse they thought that probably some days or even weeks might elapse before a committee mould be ap pointed and be in possession of an sdeqsate fond to relieve the sufferers, and as it was very &drab, that a sem esfil• Meat to meet their immediate necessities should be at ones distributed, we thought it incumbent upon us to take im mediate action. However, I may say this, if you appeal to society, and society tarns a deaf ea r t o that appeal, then we shall be in a position to deal with it ; but such action on our part does not appear to me to be at present necessary. You must all, I think, feel that the sympathy with tie =frames is very general, sad I eenaot help think ing that If yen adept the means I have isdiested yea will get ample funds to meet every rgency. After a brief conversation as t ow hat the committee have already done, the deputation thanked the right hon. gentleman, and withdrew. LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD EISTEDDFOD. There was a great gathering on Wednesday at the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, of the natives of the principality.

THE NORTH LONDON CONSUMPTION HOSPITAL. TO Tug IDITOI or THE MUM. slll,—Residing in Hampstead, I tind from recent visits at the Consumption Hospital of our locality that this most excellent institution is at the present moment compelled to refuse, not from want of room, but from want of funds, several persons in an advanced stage of consumption, who preseingly :sinew their entreaties foe admission to its wards. It is impossible to witness these distressing appeals and not feel deeply the pain ful necessity which prevents the hospital from re lieving them. The hospital was established in 1860, and already 17,000 patients have been relieved from its tunas. The strain upon he resources ham recently been very great, and the benefit a little timely and immediate help would confer upon many poor sufferers would be immense. Will you kindly make known this distressing Mate of things to your charitable readers ? The smallest contribution sent to the Secretary, Mr. W. Hornibrook, at the Hospital, Green-hill, Hampstead, or to the office, 216, Tottenham-court-road, would be gratefully acknowledged. So urgent is the want that I would myself most willingly contribute to the utmost of my power if my more wealthy neighbours at Hampstsad would iuitiate a subscription for the immediate admission of the sufferers. Patients are admitted from all parts of the kingdom. Bankers : Messrs. Hoare, Fleet-street ,• Messrs. Coons, Stt ; and London and County Bank, Hanover-square.--I sin. ke.. EDWARD TRACY TURNERELLI.

EDUCATION IN TRZLAND.—The cornmiesionetw, in their report for 1866, asy, "We trained during the year, and supported at the public expense,2Bs teachers, of wham 137 were males and 148 females. We also trained, for the office of teacher, 16 persons who supported themselves during their attendance at the model schools. The total number trained in 1866 was 301. Of the '..N5 teachers trained during the year 61 were of the established church, 137 were Roman cetholice, 75 were presbyteriena, and 12 were of other persuasions. The total number of male and female teachers trained from the commencement of our pro ceedings to Dec. 31, 1866, is 7,532. We do not include in this but number those teachers who, at the time of their training, were unconnected with national schools. Besides the teachers trained in the ordinary courses of literature, science, and school-keeping, during the past year, we caused an additional number of teachers to be instructedl in the principles of navigation and the use of nautical instruments. In admitting teachers to this department we select those only who ate possessed of the attainments necessary to profit by the special instruction given, and whose schoole are the most favourably situated for the introduction of this branch of education. The establishments in which the teachers, both male and female, attending at our training institution are boarded and lodged continue to be efficiently conducted. The inmates bee been dis tinguished as heretofore for the general correctness of their conduct, for the maintenance of order and discipline, for the exercise of kindly feeling towards each other, and for the careful observance of their religious duties. We had in our service at the end of the year 1866 5,972 prin. .ps.l teachers 1,8311 assistants, and 362 junior literary and industrial ' assistants, making, in the whole, 8,172, of whom 3,320 are trained. We also had in our service ' at the same period, 385 workinistresses and teachers of the higher industrial classes." COLLISION ON THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAIL WAY.—ShortIy before six o'clock on Monday evening, as the 4.15 p.m. up-train was being shunted back to the tem porary platform erected at Taunton station for the accom modation of passengers during the extensive alterations being carried on there, and whilst met* the down line, the engine of the 3.30 p.m. down train, which was some what late, and which was proceeding very slowly (having arrived in sight of the station), ran into a second-class carnage of the up-train with great violence, smashing in the side of it, and at once becom ing jammed. The suddenness and violence of the colli sion were such as to throw nearly all the passengers in the train off their seats, and not a few were severely shaken, but we could not ascertain that any of them sus tained injury of a more serious nature. Directly after the occurrence most of the passengers, alarmed for their rafety, being ignorant as to the nature of the accident, left the carriages and got upon the line when it was at once seen that the two trains bad bec ome completely locked together, and that if the down train had been pro ceeding faster the collision would have resulted dues trously. A body of working men, with the aid of an en gine, succeeded in clearing the line in a very short time. It was not possible to obtain information as to the exact cause of the accident.— Wafers Doily THE LOSS OF THE IVANHOE AND THE VIENNA or LEITIL—A letter was received on Tuesday by Mr. D. R. Macgregor, the owner of the Ivanhoe, from the receiver of wrecks at Scarborough, intimating that, on the 10th instant, two casks of paraffin oil, marked ou the heads " Eekhout and Co., merchants, Glasgow," hail been picked up about twenty miles to the north east of the Spurn Light by the crew of • smack belonging to that port. As the casks, each of which contained about thirty-cis galloon, corresponded in every particular with the description of those on board the Ivanhoe, as entered in the " manifest. book" of that vessel, the owner recognised them as his property. Information has also come to band that a life boat, similar in dimensious and in other respects to that carried by the Ivanhoe, but without a ileum, had been washed ashore at Whitby. As the lifeboat of the Ivanhoe had no name, this in all probability belonged to the ill. fated vessel. Besides the casks of butter late:y picked up off Spurn Head, bearing the same sparks with those shipped by the Vienna, a life-buoy, on which was painted " Vienna, of Leith," has been washed ashore at Raw, about twenty-eight miles to the north-east of Heligoland. DAMAGES AGAINST THE NORTH BRITISH RAIL. ' WAY Conrsur.—On Tuesday, in the Scootil Division of the Court of Scanlon, a jury awarded damages against the North British Railway Conspaby, as stomper'. sation to Mr. Romans, consulting gas engineer and con. tractor, Edinburgh, for injuries which be sustained in • collision which took place early on the morning of the 28th April, !sail, between the night .%press train from Edinburgh to London ands mineral waggen which bad run off a siding about five miles south of Berwick on-Tweed.
