THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1866. THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. • To the harrowing narrative of the loss of the Australian passenger steamer London given yesterday, a number of interesting details of the most melancholy event, taken from the lips of several of the survivors, are now to be added. Very considerable astoeishment has been expressed (says the Western Morning Nero) that no effort was made daring the two days that the ship was in Imminent danger of going down to prepare rafts and nee similar means to give an additional chance for the misty of the 289 souls on board. The testimony, however, of both the passengers and the rescued crew goes to show that Captain J. B. Martin—of whose skill as manifested daring the storm they speak in terms of the highest cow. imendation—did not order the construction of rafts because the wind blew with such severity, and the waves leaped over the steamer in etch quick succession and tremendous force that no men could have worked on the deck, and even if they had succeeded in building a raft there could be ao hope of any of the unfortunate people being enabled to cling to it alive for many miuutes in such a sea. So soon as it was determined to launch the lifeboat, plenty of assistance was at band to effect the launching but the passengers and crew, who bad beheld the starboard lifeboat washed away on the preceding day, were horrified at observing their only remaining lifeboat slip through the stern davit, break into two parts, and of course become utterly useless. It was then resolved that the iron 0111111 Ce, capable of carrying fifty persons, should be launched, and by the aid of the doakey imagine the pienate was raised and hung over the leeward rail. When let go, however, she foundered, one man, a Dutchman, being drowned, and three others, who were rescued, being cast into the surf to leeward. Two of the men who were overboard were John King, the able sea man to whose marvellous skill as ateerman the survivors all entirely and with gratitude attribute their preserv►tion, and Mr. Alunro, a passenger, who hung in the davit until brought io by Edward Gardner, the steward. King had one of his sides bruised, and his thigh cut by being beaten whist the steamer, and Gardner received injuries iu his back. Nothing then remained on board the ship but an ordi nary six-oared captain's gig and a still smaller boat on the top of th J cuddy or cookhouse. After considerable hesitation it was agreed that a boat should be launched for the second time, and an opportunity wee presented for passenger' to em bark in her, but only 3 massagers and 11 of the crew availed themselves of it, and if they had delayed three minutes longer than they did they would have perished is the ship. The precaution was take. that only three or four of the sixteen of the crew who committed themselves to the boat should be allowed to jump into her whilst she was being lowered, and by this means she reached the water without mishap, and the rest were enabled to follow. The crowd oa board were afraid to leave the ship, having naturally been frightened by the sinking of the iron boat, and those who put off in the second boat were shouted to not to make she atter.pt, as their chance was hopeless. Some h. r c esc•ificts were made. One of the passengers is the toot, Mr, John Wilson, a native of Montrose, went down into the cabin and endeavoured to persuade a friend, Mr. John Hickman, from Ballarat, and brother to Mr. Hickman, solicitor, of Southampton, to attempt to nave his life by going into the boat, but after being en• treated, lie ani.l—"No, I promised my wife and children to stay by them, and I will do so." The water was then a considerable depth on the lee side of the saloon, indeed over the top of the berths, and he asked Mr. Wilson to help Ina. removing his four children to the windward side, out of the water. This was done, ands then Le , shook Lads with Mr. Wilson, with "Good bye, Jack," and mated frrm his freed for ever. When last seen Mr. Hick man was standing in a row with his wife and children. This occ.rred about an hour before the boat put off, but probably they had perished by that time, as the water had before then poured into the steamer through her cabin windows, and when the boat left the sea was flush with the top of the poop deck, and the corpses of drowned , women and children were floating over the deck. When , the men were all in the boat, one of the seamen cried, "There may still be room; fetch a lady." Mr. Wilson then sprang over a portion of the deck in search of a lady , whom he knew, but not seeing her, and knowing that , every instant was precious, he said to a young girl, "Will you go She did not refuse, therefore lir. Wilson seized her and took her to the bulwarks ; but when she looked over the :ails and saw the distance which she roust spring, she said in despair, " Ob, I cannot do that!" There was no time for persuasion or parley, and Mr. Wilson was obliged to drop the girl and jump from the steamer to the boat, which he fell into safely. The ship was being washed over to the , boat, towards which it lunged heavily. The captain , who was walking calmly up and down the poop, had re- fused to leave his ship, but just before the boat put off he bad the consideration and presence of mind to give those , in the boat their "course." He told them that it lay E.N.E. to Brest, which was correct, and he is stated to have added that the distance was 90 miles, but the boat's company believe that King, the steersman, misunderstood the captain as to the distance, insomuch as they were ifs) miles from the French coast. Before the boat could be got off it was in great danger of being sucked down with the ship, which was rapidly settling beneath the water. The swirl of so Ater round the stern that preceded the foundering had already begun to be excessive, and the boat was there fore hastily cut away. At that moment those in the boat were piteously called upon by a lady about twenty three years of age, who with a face which was, it is stated, livid with horror, shrieked out an offer of " a thousand guineas if you'll take me in." But in that solemn hour millions of money would have been accounted valueless, and to return must have resulted in destruction to all. One of the seamen has stated that when the boat was pushed off, and the captain had wished those in her "God speed," the men resolved that no danger must be allowed to accrue to them from further crowding, and that some or them drew their knives with the determin►tion of cutting off the hands of those who might leap from the ship and endeavour to cling to the boat's gunwales. It is also stated that long before this, when it was first made known that the vessel must go down, a passenger brought on deck a carpet bag, and that on his doing so the captain gave a short melancholy laugh, and then smiled, as one of the pas. sengers expressed it, " at the preposterous idea of the man's thinking at such a time of his property." Down ate the waves with so many others has sunk G. V. Brooke, the famed tragedian, who was hound for the country which had been the sce:e of a reverse of fortune to him, but previously of many brilliant successes. fie will be well remembered as a tall man, of powerful build, and he is stated by the rescued passengers to have exerted his strength to the utmost in helping to keep the ship afloat. The Dutch portion of the crew, twenty-one in number, refused to work, and, according to the English sailors who were saved, these men went to their berths and remained there, so that the passengers had to work at the pumps worriedly for many hours with the English seamen. Mr. Brooke exerted himself incessantly. Attired only in a red Crimean shirt and trowaer,, with no hat on, and barefooted, be went backwards and forw►rds to the pumps until working at them was found to be useless ; and when last seen—about four hours before the steamer went down—he was leaning with grave composure upon one of the half-doors at the companion. His chin was resting upon both hands, and his arms were on the top of the door, which he 'gently swayed to and fro, whilst he calmly watched the scene. One of the passengers who saw him bas said— " He had worked wonderfully, and, in fact, more bravely than any man on board of that ship." To the steward, who made himself known, Mr. Brooke said—" If you succeed in saving yourself, give my farewel to the people of Melbourne." The rescued men remember with gratitude and respect the efforts put forth by ministers on board. The Rev. Dr. Woolley—said to be a bishop— encouraged the passengers to work at the pumps, in which he was seconded by the stewardess, who had a son on board, and cheered the passengers by her collected demeanour and constant attentions. Next must be mentioned a circumstance, the publication of which nay prove to be of great importance. Mr. Munro states that a passenger named Eastwood, with whom he bad been acquainted prior to the voyage, said to him, " Well, Jack, I think we are going to go." The answer was, "I think we are, Eastwood." The reply was, " We cannot help it. There's only one thing I regret about it ;of a draft for 500/, ea the Bank of Victoria, Ballarat. I only received 201, which f gave to the captain in the office of Money Wigram and Co. I should have liked my poor father to have got the balance." The speaker was amongst those who wished, but fortunately and singularly enough his comma. ideation was made to one of the three surviving passengers, and as the deceased Mr. Nestwood's father is known to live wear Liverpool, the probability is that Ws son's wish will be fallilled—a wish that was so fervent that Mr. Eastwood shed tears as he s:premed It, We hen endeavoured to obtain informatics from the survicora as to anyone whom they can recollect amongst the passenger; and as to any word or act that may tend to satisfy their friends of their state of mind. Mention was made yesterday of the Rev. Mr. Draper's exhortations to the unhappy people Ia the chief saloon. The women sat round him roadie( bibles with the ehildreo, and occasionally some man or woman would step up to Mr. Draper and say, " Pray with me, Mr. Draper, '—a re quest that was always complied with. Up to the time the ship went down the reverend gentleman ministered to those amongst whom he moved constantly. He was heard to say repeatedly, " Oh, God, may those that are not converted be converted sow—hundreds of them." About an hour before the vessel sunk Mr. Wilson snot Captain Martin under the main deck aft, and asked him if it would be of use to help in carrying out the water oa the second deck. He replied, " I will see," and walked to the engine room, into which he looked down, when he turned about, came back, and said, "You may do it, but I think it is of no use." He then walked on to the poop, and having declared that he should stay and sink with the passengers, he walked about and silently looked down upon what was going on. When the boat put off with the three passengers, fourteen men, and two boys—one being the youngest midshipman on his first voyage—many of the moaners, who, although expecting death, little knew how very very soon it was to come upon them, waved their handkerchiefs and cheered when the boat got about a dozen yards from the ship, being apparently anxious that some should live to tell their hapless tale. By the time the men had rowed the gig about eighty 1 yards the wind came down upon them from all quarters so boisterously that they could not hear each other when shouting, sad at this time they looked eagerly back, and saw their noble new vessel sink rapidly by the stern. The stem rthe so high that the keel wee observed for a moment to be completely out of the water as far as the foremast. The boatswain, Stedding, of Blackwell, who has left a wife sad five children ; the butcher, from Blackwell, who has left a wife and family ; Hann, the cook, a married man, and • very old servant of the owners ; the baker (name unknown), and the purser's mate, William Riley, had made up their minds to leave the steamer in the remaining small boat over the cuddy, and had provisioned and launched her ; hut no sooner were they ready to put off than the foundered ship quickly slid below the waves, and left for a moment an awful gulf, within whose walls of dark, whirling water they fell with every human being and every article around, and were soon swallowed up. Two passengers were seen with life belts, but probably none were alive when they came to the surface. The spectacle was only to be seen, for in the din of the tempest no cry from the sinking multitude could be heard, and soon not • vestige was visible. As the ship sank it was seen that all on deck were drives forward, not by water, bat by a tremendous and overpowering rush of air from below, whir*, as it escaped through the deck as well as the hatches, impelled all on deck forward with violence, and their dreadful struggle must have been soon ended. It was remarked that the third officer, who was named Angel, stood to the last to his post at the donkey engine, which was employed in working the pumps, and that his hands were oo the engine even as the vessel disappeared. The agony of suspense had been so long maintained that on the day the Loudon foundered the passengers were per fectly quiet and unexcited, and • surprising degree of re signation was exhibited throughout. Miss Marks, of Old Kent-road, London, was at first almost frantic ; yet, when the boat left, she stood calmly on deck bare-headed, and waved an adieu to Mr. Wilson. Mr. Grant, one of the officers, was lively throughout, and encouraged many to toil at the pumps—a work rendered by the wind highly dangerous and difficult. Mils Brooker, from Pimlico, was heard to say, as she wrung her hands, " Well, 1 have done all that I could, and can do no more." She then became outwardly calm. On Tuesday night, after the passengers had teen alarmed by the ship. ping of water, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Wood, who had with her her husband and five children, Miss Brooker, sod Miss Marks read the Bible by turns in the second cabin. It was on that night that after the sea had poured down the hatch the captain said, "Boys, you may say your prayers." At 12 o'clock on the following night Mr. Draper held • general prayer meeting in the saloon. An extraordinary fact deserves to be recorded. A poor old couple who had three children with them had tried in vain three times to go upon their voyage. First in a vessel uoknown, and which was wrecked ; next in the Duncan Dunbar, which also was recently wrecked ; and lastly, Gardner, the steward, saw the poor wife washed overboard from the London, to leeward, her husband following her presently beneath the billows. Amongst . the passengers were two stout old people, who had become j favourites on board, and who had been earth for by their only son. The poor creatures, on learning that they must drown, took a small quantity of brandy and went below to die together in their cabin. Mr. Bevan, • wealthy coach proprietor, and his wife, of Melbourne, who had been enjoying a trip in Europe ; Mr. Lemon, ironmonger Burke•street, Melbourne ; Mr. M'Lsan, owner of erten: sive baths, opposite the Albion Hotel, Melbourne, who bad brought his son to be educated in England, and Mr. Barnett, Ithrell-street, Melbourne, were amongst those who perished. The doctor on board had relatives iu Plymouth. It is authoritatively stated that the emi. grant steamer had no less that. 1,200 tons of iron in her, and that there were 50 tons of coal on deck, which was washed about and stopped up all the scupper holm. Tho masts of the ship were of iron, and therefore could not I be used for rafts. Several revolvers were seen in the hands of passengers who did not conceal their intention of shooting themselves when the last moment came, preferring to meet death, whet inevitable, by a bullet rather than by drowning. The steward indeed overheard an offer by the owner of a pistol to a friend that he would shoot him if he desired. The well-meant offer was at that time declined ; and whether these intentions were carried into execution is not known, but no reports of fire-arms were heard as the steamer foundered. Leaving the sad circumstances connected with those who have perished, there is something to narrate con cerning the adventures of the small remnant of the crew . and passengers who were saved. A compass had been given them by the captain, and, under the directions of King, the men agreed that whatever might happen they would sit immovable except when pulling at the oars, I Two worked at each oar, and they ran before the sea. Every nerve was exerted to make the boat withstand the tearful tossings and the strain as she mounted the waves, and became surrounded by the surge. Before daylight, and as the moon roes, the men were overjoyed at descrying a vessel close alongside. They bailed the ship and were heard, bet as they could present no light they could not heaven, although they could see the ship tacking about for an hour trying to find them. The search was fruitless, and the ship was lost sight of. The boat had not been rowed during the time the ship was sighted, but simply kept away before the wind until daylight, when no vessel was visible. The men adhered to their course, and at nine o'clock sighted two vessels, but were prevented from making for them by the cross seas. They rowed for one of them, however, for five hours. When at last they came up to her, they found her to be an Italian barque, the Marianople, Captain Caves's. Just as they were approaching the vessel they were struck by a heavy squall and shipped a sea, so that all in the boat gave themselves op for lost, but by only one of the men moving in the boat to bale her out, and no fresh sees striking her, they were enabled to bale her clear, and bring up alongside the barque. A line was thrown to them, and they were drawn up to the deck, where they found themselves completely benumbed by the exposure to which they had been subjected. Captain Canna, who could speak little English, to whom the men feel grateful to the extremest extent, used more means for their recovery and for their comfort than simple humanity would dictate. Be had the men stripped, rubbed, clad in fresh warm garments, and killed for them a turkey, besides providing tea and soup, and setting apart for them warm beds. At that time the ship was in 46'48 N. latitude and 7.13 W. longitude, and was bound for Cork or Falmouth. They were leaded at the latter port, and on Wednesday proceeded by train to London. THE REV. DE. WOOLLET..—RefOTHOCR is made in the journals of yesterday to the Rev. Dr. John Woolley, supposed to be the Bishop of Sydney, who was wrecked in the London, on his way to Aus tralia. The bishopric of Sydney is held by Dr. Barker, formerly of Jesus College, Cambridge, and the Rev. Dr. Woolley, whose untimely fate so many friends have to deplore, was an Oxford man, who was educated at Exeter College, in that usiveesity, graduating in 1836, sad taking a tint-Mau in classics in omnpany with Dr. Hussy, Mad muter of Merchant Taylors' School, and the Venerable J. S. Uttertoo, M.A. archdeacon of Sauey and vicar of Farn ham. Afterwards he became Fellow of University College, and principal of the Northers Church of England School. On the &medial= of the University of Sydney, about 12 years , ago Dr. Woolley was appointed its prionipal and discharged the duties of his MSc° with the greatest ability and zeal. Be had teen on a visit to his friends L &tend 1 COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL. A Conrt of Common Council was held yesterday, I ; and as it was the first that has taken place since the elec. , !ions on St. Thomases-day, • great many of the new mere- ' bees emu up to the table to be sworn. The Loan Maros presided. Deputy Far (the chairman of the Holborn Valley Im- prevenient Committee) brought forward a report from that ' committee in reference to the Holborn Valley improvement works, and for authority to engage such professional assist ance for carrying out the same as may be deemed advisable for the prompt and efficient execution of the works. The Towx CLY3R (Mr. Woodtborpe) read the report in question. It extended to very great length, but the mate rial points in it may be briefly stated. The committee re ported that in accordance with the directions they bad re- ' cerved from the court they had conferred with the City 'whited, under whose superintendence it was originally intended that the work should be carried out, and by his advice, and in accordance with his opinion that the works ' connected with the proposed viaduct should be commenced' on the south aide of Holborn, they had given notices to the owners and occupiers of the property on that side, and they had awarded compensation to such owners and occupiers, and the greater portion of the property was at the present time in their hand+. ' When this had been done they took steps to obtain tenders from some leading firms for the execution of the viaduct, and five such tenders were sent in, the lowest of which was 239,0001., and the highest 245,000/. It appeared that the original parliamentary estimate for the cost of the viaduct was only 53.0001, which was subsequently increased to 110,0001., and the committee, finding this enormous discre pancy between the amount proposed to be expended and the lowest tender sent in for the performance of the work, de clined to accept any of the tenders, and then proceeded to consider what was best to be done under the circumstances. The result of this was that they called in the assistance of Mr. Heywood, the engineer to the Commissioners of Sewers, and he had some communications with Mr. Horace Jones, the City architect. Mr. Heywood had originally been con sulted in reference to the proposed improvements at Hol born-hill, and he had prepared a plan for the viaduct, which he estimated would not cost more than 110,0001. After a good deal of conference, it appeared that these gentlemen could not agree upon the matter, and the committee, find ing themselves in this difficulty, resolved upon referring the two plans to some eminent engineer, in order that he might give them his opinion with regard to the plane for the via duct • proposed by Mr. Hey wood and the City architect, and Mr. Joseph Cubitt was the gentleman seleted for that purpose. Mr. Cubitt, it appeared, after a careful inquiry linto the matter, made a report to the committee, in which he appeared to give a decided preference to the plan pro- I posed by Mr. Heywood, as being more simple and much leis costly than that of the City architect, and he expressed Lis opinion that it could be erected for the sum mentioned by that gentleman, namely 110,3001. In the course of the ' subsequent proceedings it appeared that a 'ingestion was made that the City architect should be relieved from the special duty of superintending these improvements, but he declined to accede to the suggestion, and gave as one of his reasons for doing so that he considered it was due to bin position as City architect that he should have the superin tendence of such an important work as that which was proposed to be carried out. His own estimate for the COlll - of the work it appeared was 181,000/., and in a letter written by Mr. Jones to the committee it appeared • that he had expressed an opinion that his own plan for the execution of the viaduct and that of Mr. Heywood were nearly identical, and that if certain allowances and • deductions were made, the cost would not be much greater. In the course of the subsequent proceedings of the committee it appeared that a resolution was come to that, Mr. Heywood and the City architect should act together in reference to the contemplated work, with I power to call in Mr. Cubitt as cossulting engineer, but I Mr. Heywood positively declined to agree with this propo ' sition, on the grounds that the plan which had been agreed to sou precisely the same as one he had sent in for compe titien originally, but which he was induced to withdraw ; . that he wan well acquainted with it. details, and that he ' and the City architect differed so widely in their opinions as to the best mode of carrying out the work, that it was impossible they could act satisfactorily together. Mr. Hey wood bad also, it appeared, stated that he had obtained an • estimate from an eminent and wealthy firm, and one that had never failed to carry out any contract undertaken by I them, of the cast of the viaduct he proposed to erect, and the amount for which they had agreed to complete the work and keep the viaduct in repair for one year was 109,6241., and he undertook, if the work was entrusted solely to him, that it should be carried out upon this footing. Mr. 31'CEoitGit expressed his concurrence in the able statement made by the chairman of the Improvement Com mittee (Mr. Deputy Fry); but as a member of the com mittee he would move as an amendment to add the follow ing words to the report :—" That considering the reference to Joseph Cubitt, Esq., engineer, and his report on this subject, the Improvement Committee be instructed to make such an engagement as they may deem advisable with Mr. Heywood, architect of the Sewers Commission for the construction of the structural part of the viaduct.'' The amendment having been seconded, After considerable discussion the amendment was put to a show of hands, and was declared to be carried. The report, with the amendment added, sod that it be referred back to the committee for execution, was then put as a substantive motion and carried by a tarp majority. The court shortly afterwards adjourned. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. RErtntss.

THE SHROPSHIRE MURDER. - BRIDONORTIf, THURSDAY. —The prisoner James Childs was brought before Mr. Thomas W. W. Browne Wyldebtowne, county magis trate, and the evidence produced was more in his favour than against him. He was remanded to the petty sessional division of Cleobury Mortimer. The weapon with which there is every reason to conclude the murder was perpe tested has been found in the mill. It is • blacksmith's steel punch, about eight inches long, and of the diameter of a man's finger. With this the deceased was jobbed ou the head. some twenty times, as is shown by the post-mortem examination, and • portion of the skull, larger than a half crown, forced into the brain some four or five inches. The deceased's hands have as many wounds upon them, pro duced in all probability by the murderer when the poor fellow was putting up his hands to protect his head. Near to the body and not far from the punch a heavy stick was toned with much blood upon it and split at the top. This also was probably used in the murder, for there were injuries upon the face and head which were inflicted with • blunt instrument. A reward of 501. is now offered for the apprehension of the murderer, who is supposed to have taken from his victim a morocco leather came containing an account book and 31. 10e. in money. The deceased was buried this afternoon amidst I very wide expressions of regret. The excitement around Bridgnorth is very great, and great anxiety is displayed by large numbers of persons to see the accused. Other arrests are expected to be made. There is a blacksmith's shop attached to the mill, but it was found closed on Sunday. EPPS'S HOMMOPATHIC COCOA.—HOITIOSOpatbic Practitioners, and the Medical Profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was tin: introduced into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach: the oat was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manufac tured as to obtain little notice. J. Epee, of Loudon, homceo pethic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his atten tion to this subject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pare in its composition, and so relined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passea through, as to be most accept able to the delicate stomach. For general use, Epps's cocoa is distinguished as an Invigorating, gratefnl breakfast beverage, with a de li cious aroma. Dr %mak In hie work, " Food and Its Adulterations," says Cocoa contains a great variety of im portant nutritive principles : every ingredient necessary to the growth sad sustenance of the body."

SECOND COURT. Sittings at Nisi Prins.l(Before:iciaron Bramwell and Oonimcia Juries.) BRYANT r. RICHARDSON. Tbis was an action to recover 441. 141. for cigars, tobacco, and pipes, supplied to the defendant during the period of six months. The defendant pleaded infancy. Mr. Willoughby appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. H. T. Cole for the defendant. The plaintiff carried on business at 280, Regent-street, and the defendant was an ensign in the 7th Fusiliers an d the son of Major Richardson, who resided in Portland place. The goods supplied to the defendant oonaisted of 1,200 cigars, at sixpence a-pieee, a silver fusee box, at 2/. 10s., a cigar cue, at 11. 125., sod various other articles. In consequence of the nature of the defence, it was for the defendant first to make out his plea. Major Richardson deposed that he was a retired officer in • foreign service, and that the defendant, who was his third son, was born on the god of June, 1844. In August, 1864, when the defendant was residing with him, be saw in the ball a box of cigars, which had been supplied to the defend- ant by the plaintiff. Witness sent it back with a to the effect that he had given orders that no more from the plaintiff would be taken in at his house. At that time the defendant received all the necessaiOs which a young man in his position required. The defendant complained that the cigars bad been sent away, and left the house. He obtained his commission on the 29th September last year, and had since sailed for India. Cross-examined—He is on his passage now. I have myself a great objection to smoking. My son was educated at King's College and Bonn. lam afraid he learnt smoking at Bonn. The Germans are • nation of smoker. I never allowed him to smoke in my presence, and I told him that if he continued to smoke I would strike him out of my will. I was in the next room when he was barn. Counsel—Of course you did not thick it worth while to bring a certificate of his birth Witness—My solicitor told me that a certificate was not necessary, but I thought I would bring it, and here it is. rods certificate to counsel.) Counsel—This is a baptismal certificate. I want a certi ficate to birth. Witness—There is no other osrtificate. _ _ _ Counsel—Did you not register your children? Witness—The fact is I bad one or two of the children registered, but the mother objected to the names in which they were registered. The consequence was, they were re gistered in one name and christened in another. The plaintiff's case was that the defendant called at his ahop, and asked to be allowed to open an account with him. He pledged his word of honour that when he came of age he would have means of his own, and would pay what he owed. The plaintiff made inquiries respecting him, and ultimately consented to supply him with goods on credit. Mr. Baron Bramwell, is summing up, said—it being ad mitted that the defendant was miler age when the goods were supplied, the question was whether they were necessa ries for a young man in hie position of life. He considered the amount claimed large, but it wan for the jury to say whether, looking to his position and that of his father, any portion of the goods might be treated as necessaries. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 204 DEATH FROM THE ADMINISTRATION OF CHLOROPOitiI. Yesterday evening Dr. Lankeater held an inquest at the Bank of England, Cambridgibplaos, Paddington. on the body of Charles Cowdroy, of Ilarbieden-grove, who died under the administration of chloroform at the St. Mary's Hospital. It was alleged that the chloroform had been administered without the patient's permission having been previously obtained. Mr. George /if shoe, surgeon and administrator of chlo roform at St. Mary's Hospital, having been sworn ( witness was • young man), said he had administered chloroform some 300 or 400 times. At 10 minutes to 3 Jul Friday afternoon he was requested by the house surgeon to adminis ter chloroform to • patient whilst his toe nail wee re moved. Witness underthood that the patient (who was the deceased) was willing to take the chloroform, but did not himself hear him say so. It was DOS his business to question the patient on that point. After examining as to the con dition of the heart, witness considering it in a healthy con dition proceeded in administer the chloroform. The appli cation was continued for about three minutes. Every pre caution was taken. Just as the surgeon was going to open his box of iastrunieets doomed made • motion with his hand, when witness remarked to him, " All right, my man, we are not going to begin yet." At the moment the sur geon commenced cutting, deceased started, and seemed to have • kind of fit. The chloroform was immediately re- , moved from his face, and he gradually sank quietly down on the pillow. At that moment he ceased breathing. Arti ficial respiration was immediately commenced, and deceased took some deep inspiratioes and expirations. The galvanic 1 battery was then applied to him, and he yawned once or twice, but again relapsed and expired. Wright,Mr. one of the governors of the hospital, here made certain statements and asked questions, in answer to which witness said he did not know that decaued had previously (in December) had half his toe nail removed, and had then refused to take chloloform. Did not hoar demigod aay he had any wish to take chloroform. Mrs. Cowdroy, widow of demand, here interposed, and said that when her husband went last to undergo an opera tion, he told her he would not take chloroform ; he would rather suffer the pain. Mr. Wright said he sent deosased to the hospital, and he could give evidence that the latter told him he would not take chloroform. He (the speaker) did not think that chloroform should be administered to • man who had walked all the way from Harludeo-green just before. Mr. Mahon (continuing in sourer to questions)—Should not object to give a man chloroform after he had walked three or four miles if his heart were in &healthy condition. Deceased had been in the wai tin g room some time before the application, and bad rested. There were three persons present when the chloroform was administered. Mr. Major, the house surgeon at St. Mary's Hospital, said he had been attending dose as an oat-patient for a week, and told him he would have to have his toe nail off, but sa the operation would be painful chloroform would be given him. On Friday last witness saw deceased outside the waiting-room at the hcspital, when the latter asked him to take his nail off. Witness turned to Mr. and said " Will you administer the chloroform r' aadd did not say he would not have it, bat he was not asked whether he would or not. He was then taken into a room. The chloroform bad been administered three minutes when, as witness commenced the operation, his enaction was drawn to deceased's condition. Every effort was made, as described by the previous witness, to restore deceased, but without avail. Witness had made a post mortem examination, and found the body healthy. He could not account for death. It was very probable that the same result would have followed if the administration of chloro- form had been delayed to the next day. . . Mr. Mahon (milled) said he pie deceased not more than two drachma chloroform. lie had sometimes applied u much as one or two OnDOO/1. The jury having occupied a short time in deliberation, The Foreman said—The jury are of opinion that deceased died through the chloroform ; and tho jury are also unanimously of opinion that more experienced gentlemen ought to be employed at the hospital to administer chloro• form, and that the patient ought always to be asked if he were willing to take it. The Coroner said he was very sorry indeed to hoar that. He did not think they could oak the hospital authorities to employ gentleman who had applied chloroform more than 300 or 400 times. Mr. Wright hoped the jury would not return that verdict. The hospital authorities went apecially considering the matter, and would do what was necessary. The Coroner hoped the jury would record a verdict of "Accidental death," and if there was anything wrong, the hospital authorities would see into it. He did not wish to influence the jury though, and would record any verdict they chose. He would write in a verdict of " Accidental death," and it any of them chose they could object, and he would alter it. The coroner then recorded a verdict that deceased died of " Narcotissia, brought on by the administration of chloroform, and that the death was accidental," and then said, "Will that verdict do'" Several of the jury replied " Yes," and the verdict was accordingly allowed to stand. THE POLICE COURT& LAMBETH. William Harding, a labourer, aged 19, who him been in custody a week, on a charge of attempting to murder James Steven Petra), his illegitimate child of four months old, was again placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton. In reply to a question from the magistrate, Sergeant Stevens, 19 P.,who has charge of the cue, said that though it had been the opinion of the witnesses on the last ex amination, that they should not find the injured child alive on their return, it was still living, and was then in the arms of the mother, who wu in attendance to give evidence. Ellen Pearce, the young woman alluded to, who described her age as 19, and who bore the infant in her aims, here entered the witness-box, and on being sworn said, she had known the prisoner for about eighteen months, sod lived with him for the last three months as his wife. On Wed nesday week at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon she went out,leaving her illegitimate child, of which the prisoner was the father, in bed and asleep, and also the prisoner, in the same room. She returned in about half-an-hour, and hearing the infant making a strange noise she took it from under the blanket and found it quite black in the face. She screamed out loudly, believing the child to be dead, and took it to the room of a lodger, who felt its head and found it so soft that she was of opinion that the bones had been smashed in. She also took the child to a doctor, who on examining it told her its head had had a jam, and to take it back, and he still attended to it. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the witness said the child was well and hearty when she left it is the care of the prisoner, and the only account he gave of the state she found him in was that he had been sitting at the fire and the child fell from his lap. She further said that the prisoner seemed fond of the child up to the evening of Saturday week, but on that evening, on her (witting) re turning home she found the infant's mouth bleeding, and on examining the lip. she found a cut on the upper one which would &rennet for the bleeding. After that the prisoner slapped the child several times, saying it was ton artful, and he wanted to knock some sense into him. _ The prisoner, who seemed to feel the serious and awkward situation in which be wag placed, was remanded for another week. SOUTH WA RK. The Hoo. Herbert Bagge, of King's Lynn, Norfolk, at tended to support two charges against a cab•driver (No. 13,86) for refusing to accept a hiring by time, and neg lecting to give him aticket when required. Mr. Bagge maid he was staying with a friend in Paper buildings Temple, and on Tuesday afternoon, the 11th, he was at a gentleman's house in Lower Stamford-street. Requiring a cab to take them to several places, be went out to fetch one, and met the defendant with his horse and cab crossing the Blackfriars.road. He hailed him, and after jumping into his vehicle required him to drive to No. 3, Lower Starr.ford-street. He alighted there, and a minute or so after that, himself, another gentleman, and a lady got into the cab, when witness told the defendant he should hire him by time. The defendant said, " If you hire me by time I must charge you double." Witness told him be should do nothing of the kind, and requested him to drive to the Westminster police-court. They proceeded there, and after seeing the magistrate, they were recom mended to come to this court. The defendant denied saying that be must charge dcuble fare for time. He drove to the Westminster police-court, and told the gentleman that he could not drive him any distance or by time, u one of the shoes was off the bores. The gentleman detained him at the Westminster police court more than three hours. _ _ John Clew, 313 B, said be saw the cabman waiting with his horse and cab at the Westminster policocourt more than three hours. He inquired what the defendant was waiting for, and on being told he perceived that one of the shoes was off his horse. The Magistrate told the complainant that that portion of the charge must be dismissed, uiumnch as he did not hire the defendant by time when he first engaged him. Nothing WAS said about that until after the three persona got in in Stamford-street. The complainant then proceeded with the second charge, and said that when he asked defendant for his ticket he said he had none. The defendant said that was true. He had given them all away. . . . . . The Magistrate told him he was bound to have tickets, and to give one to every hirer at the time of the hiring without being asked for it. He fined him 6e. and coats. George Crane, an omnibus tout at London.bridge, was brought before Mr. Bonham for final examination, charged with the wilful murder of Ann Carr, a woman with whom be had for some time cohabited, at 33, George•etreet, Kent. street. The particulars of the can have already been given in our report of the inquest. For the &ammo the prisoner stated that the injuries the deceased had sustained were the result of a fall, and not of any violence he had used towards her. He wu fully cons. witted for trial on the charge of wilful murder. THAMES. .. . Mr. Healey, • medical practitioner, of No. 2, Devon's road, Bromley, waited o n M r . P ar t r idge, for the purpose of asking him to relieve him of • difficulty. The applicant said that • few days since a lady sad gentleman entered his house in a state of great alarm. The female had just been taken in labour, and both craved his assistance. The lady was put t o bed, and in a short time she gave birth to • female child. The mother remained in his house for a week, and during that time she was supplied with every necessary by the gentleman, who she said was her husband, and who gave the name of English. Last Saturday the lady went out for the first time since her accouchement, and said she was going to Bow to make some purclisles. She had never returned, and he had not seen or heard of ber or her husband since. Mr. Partridge—And the child ! Mr. Healey—Has been left with me. Mr. Partridge—How much have you been paid! Mr. Healey—Only 10s. for my professional attendance at the accouchement, and ss. for • week's rent. I have been to the relieving officer at Bow, and he has • directed me to come to you. I have no idea who the mother and father of the child are. They looked respectable, and I allowed the lady to stop in my home. She is about 20 year, of no, with aquiline nose, sharp features, and fair complexion. The man is about 25 or 213 years of age, with a round face. He changed his clothes very often. Mr. Partridge was surprised that any relieving officer should have sent the applicant to the Police-oourt of the district.. He could not interfere in the osee at all. The maintenance of the child if it was destitute, and the inhuman parents would sot come forward and support it, must fall on the parish where it was born. Bromley was in the Poplar Delon, and he should advise the applicant to apply to Mr. Jeffreys, the relieving officer, at the Poplar work. house, and consult him on the subje c t . If a full description of th e! parties was given to the relieving officer, it was very probable they would be traced and punished. He would advise Mr. Healey to be very careful how he acted in relation to strange ladies calling at his home in future. Mr. Healey—lbey appeared such respectable people, and the lady was very ill whoa she cants into my home. Mr. Partridge—You should have ascertained her name, address, sad coaaszioas. She was with you • weak. TRAFFIC RETURNS. Mlles Pas. Mee , Tots!, Total, lan.WaY3. open. stingers. chandlae. 1866. 1866. Week ending Nov. 11.

Mr. Webb, churchwarden of the parish of St. Andrew's, was called to the chair, and observed that, although the Mid London scheme might greatly facilitate the transit of traffic going east and west, it would yet prove a serious injury to the inhabitant" of the Holborn district, not only to those whose booms were to be pulled down on the south, but to these who would have to remain on the north. There was no public necessity for the line, and in sheer self-defaces it was their duty to oppose it. Mr. Mese& of the firm of Corbyn arid Co., moved a resolution con demning the project as an unjustifiable and onneceeeary terference with the rights of private property. He explained that the proposed line commenced at Shepherd's Buab, sod after reaching the Marble-arch, it by some means avoided Oxford.street, got into Bloomsbury, thence into Liecolo's. inn-fields near the Great Turnstile, where it entered Holborn, taking in the whole of the south aide, including Middle row, and then got lost somewhere in the neighbourhood of Field-lane. The project was one that would inflict 'sat injury upon the inhabitants without conferring any corre sponding good upon anyone, and therefore its opposition was demanded just as much upon public as private grounds. The resolution, having been seconded by Mr. Bumpoa, was unanimously assented to, and a second resolution was moved by Mr. Lloyd, and seconded by Mr. Brandon, declar ing it to be the opinion of the meeting that the line ought to be opposed to the utmost, the mover protesting that the public had had enough of London, Chatham, and Dover speculations. Mr. Hamann, one of the engineers of the line, endeavoured to show that the fears entertained upon the subject were greatly exaggerated. So far from injuring the neighbourhood, the work, by widening the top of Chancery-lane, would considerably improve it. Middle row was already condemned, and beyond that the street was 100 feet wide, the level of the line 20 feet below the surface, and it was proposed to tunnel in such a manner as to form no obstruction to the streets. The extent of the has was five miles from end to sod, sad the Holborn part could be made in boor or five months. This explanation, however, did not remove the apprehensions of the meeting, and on the motion of Mr. Lloyd, seconded by Mr. Mather, two members of the Holborn Board of Works, a memorial to both the Metropolitan Board and their own board was I agreed to, praying them to oppose the bill. • - -HE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BECIIMIAIL —The &In-is of the railway train and bridge, destroyed neer Beckenham, on Monday morning last, under the circum stance, reported in oarimpressioo of thelsth, have atletrigth been raised, and the body of the unfortunate man, John Matted, recovered. The remains of the poor fellow were found to be shockingly crushed, owing to the enor mous weight of the railway waggons, and fragments of the bridge, which were piled over him. It appear, that at the moment of the accident, when the engine had past got on to the bridge, the engine -driver noticed an oscillation, and said to the stoker " Masted , the bridge appears to sh.dre r The deseeial turned, apparently with the view of putting on more steam for the purpose of carrying the engine and train more quickly over the vibrating structure, when the whole mass was precipitated with amazing sud denness downwards into the river beneath. The precise morneot when this happened is indicated by the hands of the deceased's watch, which were found pointing to the hour " 4.5." The works of the watch were no doubt stopped instantly by the fearful concussion sad by the water of the river.
