SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE WARWICK MKETING. To TH.; LDITOE or THS JaPREHIL tins, — Everybody is now on the quivine for the slightest movements in coonexion with the St. Leger, and consequently the Warwick meeting will be fatly attended ea Tuesday and Wednesday next, for there we shall learn whether Caractacua, Johnny Armstrong, Old Calabar. ka., pre to remain "knocked one," or whether the Stockwell dolt and A rgonaut are to take the formidable position in the market they so loeg have threatened. The meeting is particularly fortunate in having no other to clash with it, and with sixteen tame in the programme, those attending an certain to find plenty to interest them. The Leamington Slakes Handicap, two miles, is the great feature, but does sot sustain its prestige when only nineteen accept fur it, and the lot, se a body, are so moderate that even the top-weight Atherstone might win. Shepherdem, the Bryn Gwyn, said Donne Canoe have too re molly been defeated for either to have any ap parent pretensions to win, and Mistake, Magnum Bonum, the Phemy filly, Victrix, My Mary, and Venerator, Using engaged in the great autumn handicaps at New asArket, it is dangerous to include one of these among the 'Pertain starters, Atherstoue, Bally . Edmond, Newstead, Master George, and Berkeley comprising the lot I presume will supply the winner. Athentoce is giving lamps of weight away, and over this distance of ground it seems hardly possible he can defeat BallT Edmoud, while Master George, that ran • good bone at Stockton, is in receipt of 20:1) more than he is entitled to on the weight for age scale. Berkeley I know nothing about, except that he was backed ewe fur the Derby at long shots, and has yet to earn a seputatimi in public. Newatead has been too long on the shelf for me to strictly follow his two last performances in public., which were just good enough to secure him this race, for be is not one of the soundest animals in training, and it may firit be possible to send him to the poet in first-rate eeullition. In his absence, Master George and Bally Ed mund would read like the most tniatworthy, and those who trust the three-yrold may def end on a " haunt ran" for their money. There are penalties and allowances attaching M the Castle Park Stakes, for two-yr-olds, six furlongs, which makes almost a handicap of the race, and Fontenoy, with • Mb allowance, appetite to have all the best of the weights, unless something can be found among Erin-go- Bragh, the Glenachty colt, Zara, Gipsy Girl, and Oak Apple, that is 41b or 71b better than Escape, one of the York winners. The Shorts Handicap, five furlongs, will gait the majority of the competitors, and Astarte, Redpole, Ilettr, and Voltella are particularly partial to • "short eat,' it being impossible to overlook the fact that Red pole and Voltella are leniently weighted. The Avon stakes, for two and three-year-olds, five furlongs, 1 should unhesitatingly award to The Perfect Cure but for the doubt ',bather his owner will risk parting with him for 101., which mount the winner is liable to be claimed for ; and Conster nation &paean an equally good thing for the match with Peeping Tom over a mile, for on public running the young are need be no better than the wretched Pot Pourri to win, while Tom must be the equal of Roekley to do so. On the , second day we have the County Handicap, one mile, wherein Oonqueror, 4 yrs, ist, Leonora, 3 yrs. Gat 41b, and Lord lit inley, 3 yni, Set 71b, are the most threatening on paper, more especially the List named, who ran a good horse at Ox ford- The Nursery Handicap, for two-year-olds, six furlongs, Tourist, list lllb, would look well for, on his running with Bolero at the latter meeting ; but seeing Avondale gave him a stone for the Nursery, where he could not obtain • place, it is quite on the cards for Odine, Tat 91b, tc. give him the weight, and if Mr. Mundy does not substitute the leathered Foie de Gras, fat 41b, the Frenchman might secure another race for me. The Warwick Cap, three miles, looks a big race on paper, but may not bring to the post anything superior to the rightou cracks, Athentone and Paste, whose positions should be reversed on this occasiou, as it was the general opinion Atherstone ought to have woo the Gem. There is a six furlong sweepstakes for two and three year-olds, subject to the previous running of several en gaged ; and yet nothing ' appears fit to contend with Soap stone, despite his 71b penalty, unless it is Atllll2oll/4111, she being penalised only 41b. The Welter Cap acceptances have wet yet been declared, and the other events are to be entered for the evening before running. The Leicester and Weymouth meetings take place simul taneously on Thursday said Friday, and the programme of the last-named exhibits • great improvement ; still neither is invested with any great importance. and the Warwick running will influence many of the events in the two pro grammes, all I can call attention to being Attaman, and Shepherdess in the Leicestershire handicap, Gipsey Girl in the l(srdgate Park Stakes, and Phantom in the Scurry Handicap at Leicester.—l am, &c., METEOR. LATEST LONDON BETTING.-SATURDAY. The large attendance at the club betokened the near ar Fetich of some interesting event in the sporting world, and from the increased influx of speculators rat was anticipated that a " demonstration" would be made in respect of the forthcoming contest at Doncaster. In this, however, all were disappointed, and for some time the market was languid. Business opened with a disposition to "lay," operators mostly choosing the names of Argonaut, Johnny Armstrong. and Caractacue, to invest against. Sir Joseph Mawley's bone, it was reported, was doing his work in "stockings," and an unfavourable gallop, it was rumoured, mused speculators to increase the odds against Argonaut. Offers of 20 to 1 failed to obtain any response, but there was, no doubt, a commimion in the market to accept 25 to I, which price could not be obtained. After long prices had been laid against Johnny Armstrong, his supporters eanse to the rescue and appeared anxious to. back their north country pet at 25 to 1. These odds, however, could not be got, and 20 to 1 being the highest offer, Mr. Fobert's animal remained nominally at previous quotations without any investment having been made. At one time even money was laid that " Johnny" did not roe, but 10 " ponies " to 1 having been taken about the two neighbours—Stockwell colt and Johnny Armstrong—seemed to question the accuracy of the pro moter of the report that Mr. Fobert's horse would be an ab sentee on Wednesday week. Caraetacus was again very mihealthy, and to arrive at the proper tone of the market regarding this horse required considerable tact. A sort of " holding together" 10 to 1 was accepted iu one part of the room ; in author 11 " monkeys" to 1, it was di dared, amid be taken, whilst further off lb to 1 could have been obtained "on the quiet." The three leading favourite. and the Stockwell colt were firm at their quotations. Closing prates GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP. 8 to 1 agat Dale*,lla (t and off) 10 to 1 any other ST.

A gentleman gave the following information in referents. to a most ingenious system of fraud, which, it is to be feared, has been but too successful in a great number of instances, and against which the public will in future do well to be upon their guard. For a considerable time put advertise ments have appeared in several London and provincial newspapers offering sums of money upon personal security, at 5 per cent. intereat, upon very advantageous terms. This advertisement was answered by one of the clients of the ap plicant, a farmer in Scotland, and after some oommunkation had passed between him and the parties referred to in the advertisement, he answered the following letter, dated August 21 : ' Dear Sir,—Yesterday, at a meeting of the directors, your application for an advance of 3001. was agreed to, and as the loans are payable in full, in aooordance with the usual custom, I herein enclose one part of order on the Bank of England for 3004 The interest for the first year will be 151., which please remit in Scotch notes by registered letter, together with the enclosed note for 3 001 ., duly signed, and by return of poet I will send a stamp receipt for the in terest, also the other part of the order on the Bank of Eng. land. For greater security I have crossed the order; there fore when you have pasted the two parts together, you must pay it to some banker, who will charge a small commission for getting the cash for you here. On account of the nume rous sums provided for different applicants, I must request your prompt attention. Meantime I am your o bed ient servant, ke." Enclosed in this letter was the half of a cheque on the Bank of England for 3001., and also the following document : " No. 8,00 1 . 300/. " August 22,1862. " I agree to pay the 'um et three hundred pounds by six yearly payments of fifty pounds each. I also agree to pay interest on the same each year in advance , at the rate of U. per cent. per annum." Upon the receipt • of these documents the gentleman ap plying for the loan wrote to a friend in London requesting him to procure some information about the parties, and the result was that the whole proceeding turned out to be neither more nor less than an ingenious swindle, none of the parties to the pretended loan being discovered, and arrangements were merely made to receive the letters that arrived. The cheque was a genuine form of the Bank of England, but one of a particular series that were in cir culation several yearn ago, and no clue bas been ob tained likely to show bow these parties became possessed of such cheques. The applicant was informed that as no legal offence had actually, been oommitted, the criminal law could not be put in motion, but as the application would, no doubt, be made public through the usual channels, this would in all probability have the effect of putting, the public on their guard against such proceedings in future. THE ROUPELL FORGERIES. Within the last few lays a notification has been made to Mr. ivory, the clerk and principal legal officer of the Central Criminal Court, by the solicitor to the Trea sury, that it is the intention of the government to take up the prosecution against Mr. Ronpell, and copies of the depo sitions taken by the magistrates at Guildford against the prisoner have been furnished to the Home-office. It is understood that two bills of indictment will be preferred, one charting the offence of forging the signature of the deceased Mr. Roupell to the deed of gift of the Kingston estate, which was the subject of the action of ejectment tried at the Guildford amine, and the other charging the same offence with reference to the supposed lost will of the deceased under which the prisoner came into the posses sion of the property. As the law at present @tends the offence involves the punishment of penal servitude for life or not less than four years, or imprisonment with bard labour, accompanied, if the court shall think fit, with solitary confinement for any term not exceeding four years. Since Mr. Roupell has been confined in Horsemonger-lane , Gaol he has not exhibited the slightest depression of spirits. Like all other prisoners before trial he is per mitted to provide provisions for himself, of course under certain restrictions, and he eats and drinks heartily, and does not seem at all affected by his position. He has not been visited by any of his relatives, neither has he received, or made, any communications to them. He has been visited by an attorney, with whom be has had se i vowel long consultations, the nature of which is, of course, strictly private. It is generally believed, however, that he will plead guilty, as he is (ally aware that it is only by persisting in his admission of forgery, and being convicted the penalty for that crime, that be can hope sad suffering to succeed in his object of causing the restitution of the property to the heir-at-law. Under ordinary circumstances I.coupell would be removed during the ensuing week from his present place of imprisonment to Newgate with the rest of the prisoners charged with the commission of offences in the county of Surrey, but as he is in the custody of the sheriff of that county under a detainer for debt, it will be necessary, before he can be removed, that • writ of habeas corpus should be applied for. The detainer is for the sum of 600 f., and sat the suit of • lady whose name it is needless to mention. In all probability the bills against the prisoner will be sent before the grand jury on the first or second day of the smiles, which will comments on the 22nd instant, and if true bills should be returned by the grand jury, a writ of babe's corpus will then be ob taioed, and he will be brought up for trial. The public are aware that at present the only evidence in support of the charges of forgery consists in the proof that while under 'examination upon the trial at Guildford. Mr. Roupell admitted that he had forged the name of his father to the deed of gilt and the pretended will, but in ad dition to this a great deal of evidence will be laid before the grand jury for the purpose of showing that those signa tures were, in point of fact, forgeries, and the admission made by Mr. Roupell himself that they were so will be given as confirmatory testimony, although some technical difficulties may arise that will render this statement brad miuible. Since the termination of the case at Guildford, it appear' that the advisers of the heir-at-law, Richard Roswell, have not adopted any active proceedings against other parties who bad purchased portions of the property from the prisoner, and it is said that no further steps will be taken until the charges of forgery shall have been disposed of. It would seem from in quiries that have since been made that in every case the different estates disposed of were absolutely alien ated by sale, and in almost every instance the purchasers appeared to have been satisfied with the title of William RoupelL In some of them, however, it appeared that the solicitors for the purchasers took the precaution of requiring that Mrs. Reopen, the mother of the prisoner, should be a party to the conveyance of the property, and that she should also guarantee the title, and in all those came, if the heir-at-law should recover possession, there will be a personal remedy against her. Some of the parties who have purchased portions of the property are placed in a very pain ful and unpleasant position in consequence of the discove ries that have taken place. In one instance where a • sum of 12,0001., that had been left by a professional gentleman, and which was the proceeds of a long course of ' honourable exertion, for the benefit of his family, the parties are now unable to obtain any rents, and are, of course, liable to be called upon at any moment to defend an action of ejectment. In several other cases, alio, where the London, Ciitham, and Dover Railway Company had made agreements to purchase the property, they required for their extension through the parish of Christ Church, they have refused to complete until they can obtain • more secure title than the one that could, under existing circumstances, be ranted by the present holders of the property, so that the greatest possible doubt and uncertainty exists in refer ence to the question among all the parties who are involved in this most extraordinary affair. THE FATAL COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY. The directors half-yearly report has just been I i issued. The receipts exceeded those of the corresponding , period of 1861 by 16,7671. 16e. Id. The expenses were 7,280/. 13s. 4d. lass thee the seine period of 1861. The net profit of the six meths was 24,2801. Oa. dd. The improved receipts are in some measure attributed to the increase of traffic in the mouths of May sod June, occasioned by the International Exhibition. and might therefore be thane- I terised as exceptional and as no evidence of substantial ha- provement. But the operations of the months of Jae/eery, February, March, and April, which were unaffected by the Exhibition, yielded a result superior to that of the corre sponding month, of 1861 by 13,6681. Os. 5d., thus indicating a permanent improvement of considerable extent. The Exhibition traffic naturally tended to an increase of the expenses, whereas on the contrary the figures above given exhibit a very sensible reduction, notwithatanding the in creased receipt and more extensive servioerendered. During the half-year the number of pariengers carried was 20,532,871 ; number of miles ran, 5,951,014 ; average earn- ' ings per mile, Is. Ojd. ; average fare per reasoner, 3/d. The number of horses forming the stock of the company on the .10th of June was 6,866. 1 The number of omnibuses being worked in the metropolis by the company on 30th June was 645. By way of expen- , meet, a "Parcels Expreas" was established on let J•nuary last, for conveyance of small parcels by the omnibuses of the company, and their collection and delivery by agent& throngbout the metropolis ; the receipts and expenses of • the service have been kept entirely distinct from the girienl business of the company, so that the result of the experiment might be more readily ascertsioed. There has been uo primary lass by the introduction of this business. ' The directors believe that the service is capable of advan tageous development, and they purpose, after the close of the Exhibition, to give it their snore particular attention. , A large sum was paid during the half-year for compensation I for injuries to passengers ; of this item the sum of 1,1471. 13e. Bd. was paid for the damages and coats in the action of "Collins v. the Company," which arose out of • colli sion between one of the company's omnibuses and • tramway car on the late Marble Arch street railway. The The contracts for the privilege of placing advertisements in the omnibuses of the company expired on 30th June. The directors invited new tenders for the privilege, but noes which they could consistently accept were received. An agreement was therefore entered into with Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith, Holmes and Co., the advertising agents, under which the business is now carried on. The proceed ings before the arbitrator in the snit of the We Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company against the company closed on 30th August, and the arbi trator has promised to deliver his award on 25th October. Messrs. Greenwood and Turner, of Manchester, having brought to London twenty large three-horse omnibuses of excellent character, with the requisite number of horses, harness, and other material, for the purpose of carrying passengers to and from the Exhibition, and being unwilling to incur the expense of removing them again to Manchester after its close, offered the stock to the company at • reasonable price. The directors, seeing that if left in other bands the stock was likely to form the nucleus of an opposition, considered it expedient to accept the offer, and they effected the purchase, and took possession of the property on the 30th August. They intend to continue the omnibuses on the route to the Exhibition until its cinee, --- rnd then to employ them, as they do those of a similar character which the company have had in use for some years pest, on roads where the traffic is best suited to omnibuses of their description. The outlay made for this purchase only temporarily affects the finances of the company, inasmuch as after the cessation of the extraordinary Exhibition service the stock will be ap plied to the ordinary use of the company. in lieu of new pur chases being made for maintaining the effective condition of the rolling stock. The revenue from the Exhibition traffic has fully realised expectations, and the directors anticipate the satisfaction of placing before the shareholders in March next al report and statement of mount which will con vince them that, whatever may have been the past diffi culties of the undertaking, it has at length reached a solid commercial basis, with every prospect of future prosperity.

We extract the following from an American newspaper: "The following is a telegram received this morning by Mr. Henry Grinnell : " On board the George Henry, St. John's, N. F.—Henry Grinnell, New York :—I am bound for the States, to renew my voyage. I have not prosecuted my mission to the extent proposed, on account of our craft, but thank God, He has empowered me to do something. I have de termined the fate of, probably, two boats' crews of Sir John Franklin--solved the mystery of 300 yeses relative to Sir Martin Frobisher's expedition under the auspices of Queen Elizabeth—have learned the fate of five men captured from Frobisher by the Esquimaux—found and identified the exact place of their landing and prior account of Warwick's Sound therefrom—Frobisher's attempt to plant the colony of 100 men—recovered a large number of relics of said expedition, and bays explored over 1.000 miles of coast,- including the so-called Frobisher's Strait, which I have discovered to be a deep bay, terminating in lat. 63 deg. 48 min. north and lon. 70 degrees west. " I have also discovered a great glazier and a mountain of fossils between Hudson Strait and Bay of Frobisher. " The Grunts Henry was about to depart for the States, 18th October, 1851, but thick ribbed ice kept her entombed until August 9, 1862. The ship's company subsisted mostly through the winter by the ' generous hospitality of the Esqui mans. I have with me a family of these people—man, wife, and child. " The records of my work north exceed 3,000 mei. Details of the expedition will be reported to you on my arrival. " O. F. Him.' ACCIDENT AND LOSS OP PITT LIT= AT MONEWEAIIMOUTIL SUNDERLAND, SATURDAY.—This morning, about ten minutes past midnight, a shocking accident occurred at Monkweannouth Colliery, by which five men lost their lives and two others were injured. Some time ago the A pit of the colliery was seriously damaged by the bunting of a feeder in the aide of • shaft, which ceased flooding of the working. Since that time the A pit has been laid in, and operations have been carried on for thoroughly securing the shaft for the purpose. Scaffolding bad been put up at the Mandskin seam, 210 feet below the surface, and another at the depth of 180 fathoms. In the upper scaffolding the stone at the side of the shaft had shown symptoms of giving way ; and in order to prevent danger, the shaft had been filled in with stones and debris foe eleven fathoms above where the scaffolding was placed. This morning • party of six men were employed in repairing the stone waling of the shaft, in a cradle fixed about ninety-four fathoms from the surface, when the scaffolding below them I suddenly gave way, with the eleven fathoms debris which had been placed above it. The whole mass fell down the pit, carrying with it the scaffolding at the Maodakin seam. The strong current of air caused by the falling body drew down the cradle, upon which five men were buried at the bottom of the pit by the rubbish which had fallen with them. Another man, who belonged to the party, was aheeet a few minutes at the time of the accident. The names of the men who were killed are—Robert Laing, aged 21, married, but without children ; Robert Hayden, aged 38, leaves • widow and three children ; David Macrae, 30, leaves a widow and child ; James Hall, 31, leaves a widow and four children ; and Charles Wright, who leaves • widow and seven children. The bodies have not yet been recovered ; and owing to the difficulty of reaching them from the debris with which they are envied, it is probable that they will not be extracted for some days. In addition to the loss of life, two other persons, Michael Quin and his son, were considerably burned by the flames from the fur nace in the Mandakiu seam, which is placed about 60 yards from the shaft, having been blown upon them by the cur. rent of air which was caused by the falling rubbish. Their injuries however, are not of a dangerous kind. The mouth of the pit has been clewed to prevent ventilation being dis arranged through the absence of the scaffolding by which the passage of air down the shaft was prevented. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON Tug LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOYEN RAILWAT.—The circumstances connected with the alarming accident on the London, Chatham, sad Dover Railway, near Beakabourne, on Thursday last, were inves tigated on Saturday before • full bench of county magic. tratea, at the St. Augustine's magistrates' clerk's of at Canterbury, under the chairmanship of Mr. William Plum mer, when the platelayer in the service of the company, Henry Haynes, was placed at the bar, charged with having, through negligence, caused a train. consisting of two engines, seven carriages, and • break van, to be thrown off the line. The evidence having been concluded, the prisoner made the following statement :—" I wish to say that my watch bad stopped. I looked at my watch at half-past seven, and I thought we should have time to do a little more before the train was doe. The train came on us all before we were aware of it. When I came up to the Beakshourne station I found that my watch was just &quarter of an hour late. The train was never • quarter of an hour before its time. We tried to get ' the jim-crow off, but it was fixed so fast, as it had not had any oil for two or three days, that we could not move it. We both tried to unscrew it, but could not for • moment, it was screwed so tight. The train was then so close, within 20 yards of us, that we were obliged to leave it, and junto out of the road. It is not very often that we put a flag out when we are straightening a rail—not once in ten times —for a small job like that. As to having a time table, I have not had one, but if I had I could not read it, as I am unable to reed." He was committed for trial at the next quarter sessions. GIEAT RANTERN RAILWAY.—The Wisbech branch of the East Anglian division of this systems, which was closed by the recent Middle Level doe& has been reopened for tra after undergoing the necawary mains Rudolph Volta ;L German:;;;charged with stealing eighteen engraver s ] diamonds ' value 121., from the Manse Town department in the Great Exhibition, the property of Ernst Winter, an exhibitor. The diamonds were missed from the case on the 20th ult., and they were afterwards found at a pawnbroker's in the Blackfruirs•road. The pawnbroker had advanced two guineas upon them to the prisoner, but, upon hearing that they were inquired for, he at once gave information to the pohoe. Committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. - - William Hodam, a young man about 19 years old, who was tried at the Old Bailey during the last sessions for de frauding various stable keepers and attempting to sell the horses he bad hired, was now charged with uttering several forged cheques on the Union Bank of London (Temple-bar branch),anddefmuding various tradesmen of money aW goods. The prisoner was taken into custody upon being acquitted at the Old Bailey. Mrs. Dodge, the wife of a coachbuilder in the Black friars-road, stated that the prisoner and another young man had hired n horse and chaise each from her in June ;last, and in payment for the hire the other man offered her a cheque upon the Union Bank for 12/., drawn in favour of Mr. Horrocks, and they asked her to hive them a few pounds till the Monday following, as it was then Saturday, and too late to get the money at the bank. She advanced them 10s. on the faith of the cheque, and they took away the chalice. At night the prisoner returned with his horse and chaise, and said his friend had got drunk and had left the chaise at a livery noble. He then asked her to advance him 10a. more upon the cheque to go off and get the chaise back, which she accordingly did. On Monday morning wit ness went to the bank to get the cheque cashed, when she was told it was a forgery, and was at tint taken into cus tody, but afterwards released. She heard nothing of the prisoner until she attended at the Old Bailey Sessions, and there recognised bias. The other young man calling himself Horrocks had not been heard of, and the horse and chaise were found at Vauxhall. A clerk from the Union Bank proved the cheque to be a forgery. The form in blank had been originally lamed to a customer named Kenmore, who was now deed. in 188. Mr. H. Languish, a tailor, said that on the 21st of June the prisoner and another young man came to his shop sad selected a waistcoat of the value of 7s. 6d. The other man banded him a cheque drawn on the Union Bank in favour of Mr. Horrocks for 5/. 17a. 6,1.„ and asked for the difference. The prisoner maid it was all right, and that his friend was clerk to a merchant in the City. In consequence of their apparent respectability he was taken off his guard and gave the other man 51. 10s., and they left the shop. The next morning, on presenting the cheque, it turned out to be a forgery. There were three other similar charges against the prisoner which were not gone into, and he was committed for triaL Evidence was given by the police that the prisoner had been tried in 1858 at the Mansion-house, under the Criminal Justice Act, for stealing a piece of 'ilk, and sentenced to six weeks' hard labour. Mary Marshall and Caroline Ward, two fashionably dressed women, who absconded from their Lail in April last, and were recaptured on Thursday, were finally examined, charged with stealing a purse containing 16e. from the per son of Martha Mason, in an omnibus, on the 25th of April. Upon the prisoners absconding their hail were wrehended, and in default of paying the required amount were com mitted for • month each to the House of Correction, which time they have served. Mr. Combo said it was a clear case, and unless the pri soners pleaded guilty he should send them for trial. After a short consultation they pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to six mouths' hard labour each. Tea MARRIAGE LAive.—The injustice of the pre sent marriage laws was proved in a remarkable manner in a use beard before the Comity Court judge at Boston, on Thursday. A man named Mark Gibbs, tea hawker, some few weeks since filed a petition of bankruptcy, and the officers of the Bankruptcy Court took poasermon of his goods and were proceeding to Pell them for the benefit of his cre ditor", but the man's wife claimed them as her own pro perty, alleging that though she was married to the bank rupt the wan not legally his wife, being the widow of his deceased brother, to whom the goods bad ori ginally belonged, and that they were therefore her property by right of inheritance. At the public in vestigation in the court on Thursday, this wife of two brothers attended, and proved that she was the widow of Georm Gibbs, brother of the bankrupt, and that though she had since married Mark Gibbs, and lived with him as his wife and bore him children, she wu in the eye of the law only his mistreu. She said the goods seized were formerly the property of her first husband, and that she bad not since his death sold or disposed of them to Mark Gibbs, although they bad continued to use them since their marriage. The judge said that a more remarkable case had never come under his notice. There was no doubt that the claimant, though twice married, was in the eye of the law a widow, and that her second marriage being illegal in no way invalidated her right to her first busbaW's goods. The second husband, in fact, acquired no rights by his marriage, and be might leave his wife and children any time, and they had not the slightest claim upon him. This was the law, and he was bound to administer the law aa he found it. The woman having sworn that the goods were left to her by • former husband, and there being no oviduct' to the con trary, it was his duty to declare the goods were her pro perty, and the creditors of her present husband (who legal was not her husband), had no claim on them. Ths goods must be restored to the woman.—Leeds Mercury. MARKET BARBOROUGH, SATURDAY. The inquest was resumed this morning. After healing additional evidence, the jury, accompanied by the railway officials of both companies, went to the station, where a train consisting of the same number of carriages as the second excursion train did was waiting for them, and they proceeded in it to a short distance beyond the auxiliary signal poet. The jury placed themselves in the ninth carriage from the en. gine, in order that they might be at the same distance from it as the witness Mr. Imp, who bad spoken to having seen the signal some 200 yards distant, and the spot was marked at which the signal could be perceived, bet it appeared to be only some 60 or 70 jards distant. The jury then re turned to the court, and The Coroner proceeded to run up the evidence. He said, the questions they had to determine were—first, by what means bad this unhappy man come to his death ; secondly, did it happen by any culpable neglect of any of the persons employed on the line ; and if so, who was the guilty party! As to the first point there was no doubt ;it was perfectly clear that the death was caused by the col lision. The second point was attended with some difficulty, but it lay within a narrow c •mpaia. The blame lay between the pointsinan at the signal station and the driver of the engine of the second train. It was the duty of the signalman to put on the signal at danger, according to the rides, and it was the duty of the engine-man to attend to that signal. l'hs learned coroner then read the evidence of the different witnesses bearing on this point, and impressed upon the jury that it was their duty to be guided by the evidence and the evidence alone, and that they sho uld not take a partisan view in favour of either the London and North Western or the Midland Railway Company. The jury then retired at a quarter to four o'clock, and re mained in deliberation till a quarter-past eight, when they returned into court, and . . The Coroner inquired if they bad agreed on their verdict? The foreman replied that thirteen of them (there were sixteen altogether) bad agreed to the following verdict : •' We find that the death of Thomas Stinson was caused b the collision of excursion trains at Market Harborough station, on August 2s, 1862. We find that the collision was occasioned by the culpable negligence of Ezra Stubbs, driver of the second, or Manton train. We consider t h e Midland Railway Company highly censurable in permitting two large trains of excursionists to start within so short a period without sufficient break power." The Coroner said that was a verdict of manslaughter against Ezr► Stubbs, and he forthwith issued his warrant for his apprehension. Stubbs, who was in the neighbourhood, was brought into court a minute or two afterwards, and formally committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes for the county of Leicester, but the coroner admitted him to bail on his own reoognisaoces of 1001., and two sureties of 501. each, the ' sureties being Mr. Needham. the superintendent of the Midland Company, and Mr. Marigold, the solicitor. An acknowledgment is due to the officials of both the rail. way companies for the facilities afforded by them to the re presentatives of the press ; and to Mr. Lowe, the clerk to the magistrates, and Mr. Riff, the superintendent of police, for the excellent arrangements made for the accommodation of the parties attending the inquiry. THE ATTILEFT TO MURDER A WIFE IN PADDING TON.—At a late hour on Saturday evening it was ascertained, from inquiries at St. Mary's Hospital, that the impiouswoman, womAn Honor& Barkley, who was shot by her husband, in the public thoroughfare, in front of her mother's residence in Stanley.street, Paddington, on Thursday last, was lying at the hospital in a moat precarious condition, with but faint hopes of ultimate recovery. It was at drat believed that the act of the husband, who is now on remand from the Marylebone police court, was simply one of attempted manslaughter arising out of a domestic quarrel; bat it now appears that it was a most determined sod deliberate attempt at murder, solely arising from the refusal of the victim to live any longer with him, or to give him any money, in con sequence of his cruel conduct towards her at various times. She had lately resided with her mother, who keeps a chandler's shop in Stanley-street, and was, at the time she was shot, standing in the street, superintending the closing of the shop. The nature of her injuries consists of a wound in the upper peg of the chest, of considerable depth, from which Mr. Smith, the house•surgeon, extracted a bullet, the collar bone broken and splintered close to the sternum. Mr. Smith has since taken out some of the splinters, and dressed the wound. The lungs are not injured. FATAL AFFRAY.—On Friday, a party of men, women and children, hop-pickers, in the employ of Mr. Coleman, arrived in a waggon at the village of Udimere, near Rye, Sussex, from Heathfield, and soon after were met by a party of Irish reapers. Some vulgar abuse was inter changed, and two of the Irishmen struck one of the hop pickers named Robbins, when a regular melee ensued. The Irishmen used their sickles, the hop-pickers defended themselves as best they could, the women hurling stones at their opponents. Henry Speen, the driver of the wag gon, had his arm nearly cut off. They even attacked the horses, and wounded them. The horses bolted, and two of the women was knocked down and run over. A number of the county constabulary at length arrived, and stopped the fray, when it was found that • woman, named Ellen Haloue, had been killed. One man, named Robert Lynch, who, it is stated, killed the woman, was apprehended, end lodged in Rye Gaol. Several of the persons stabbed are in dA NTSTAIs PALACZ:ONZ SHILLING DAY.-BArus- DAY, Som. 6.—Adointoos m psytount, 7,170; ditto by mom tido*, 1491 ; told, 8.461. COTTON GOODS.—MaNengureir, Swr. 6.—We bad a very excited market at the commencement of the week, and prices advanced 3d. and 4d. per lb. on yarns, and 2s. to 3s. per piece on cloths—an advance quite unprecedented in this trade. In both yarn and cloth there was a very large busi. ness done at these advances, but it was nearly all for specu lation. Ordinary merchants, like the more prudent manu facturers, have withdrawn from the market for the present, and regard the wild speculation which showed itself on Tuesday as little less than madness. Since Tuesday there has been a quieter feeling here in consequence of the tame. yeas of the Liverpool cotton market, and prices gave way a little in cloths on Thursday and yesterday morning, but there was; better feeling again at the close of business yes terday, and prices are firm again. some of the holders of cloth having, indeed, advanced their quotations. There is very little business offering, however, buyers showing an in disposition to increase their purchases for the present. Yarn, have been steadier than cloth, and for home trade yarns business has been done at Id. told. per lb. higher than Tuesday. The market for both yarn and cloth closes quiet. WOOLLEN CLOTII.—LkEna, Seer. 6.—The brilliant weather to-day has exercised an animating influence upon this morning's markets, which were well attended in both hallo. Several good parcels of 60. inch tweeds. meltons, diagonals, and other fancy coatings changed hand in the Coloured-hall. In the White market also a better tone of feeling prevailed. There was a spirited demand for witneys in va rious styles and other autumn fabrics, and also • greater inquiry for plain cloths. Rates remain firm. HARDWARE.—DIUMIGHAII, Seer. 6.—The trade of this town maintains the increased animation first apparent about a fortnight ago ; the factors' travellers report more favourably of the prospects of basilica after the harvest, and the order-sheets which they are sending home at this moment, though they are not quite up to the average, are better upon the whole than they have been at any former period of this year. Manufacturers generally admit that business has improved ; the exceptions to thin are some of the fancy trades, in which there is still a good deal of languor, but in most of the principal staple trades the men employed at the largest manufactories are making full time. The lamp and chandelier makers report an increased supply of orders; the tube makers and edge tool makers are tolerably busy, and the gun trade continues remarkably brisk, the rolling mills are also at work full time. In the adjoining district of South Staffordshire and East Worces tershire most of the manufacturing trades are more active ; such is the state of things at the foundries, and for railway fittings there is a better demand. In the neighbourhood of Dudley there are some complaints that trade is dull, but nowhere in th►t locality are there many men out of employ ment, ar.d certainly the labour market is healthier than it was a couple of months ago. At Bedditch the needle trade is brisk ; some of the manufacturers have more orders in than they have bad for a long time past.

Mitch cows were offering at 13!. to 141. The show of lambs was again large, it being considerably over that of last week. Twenty-seven lots on offer, comprising half brads, Cheviota, and crosses.

Half.breds from 14s. to 18e. Our market was well stocked with pigs, there being a conside rable increase in numbers as compared with late markets. Respecting quality the show was a mixed one, but the ma- Erity of the animals were decidedly poor, and sold slowly.
