THE GENTLEMEN OP EN , ;LAND.—This match occupied two days at Oxford, viz., Mouday and Tuesday last, and ended in an easy victory for Oxford. Mr. B. B. Cooper, for England, played well both in the first and second innings ; and Messrs. Buller, D. D. Walker, and C. D. Marsham in the second innings. The Oxford play, with a few exceptions, was very good, and from what we can see their eleven for Lords will be unusually strong, albeit they have lost Mr. R. A. H. Mitchell, who has taken his degree. The following is the score :—Gentletnen of England, 72 and 192 ; Oxford University, 219 and 49—the latter win ning by ten wickets. ALL ENGLAND MAVEN V.

All Eng land, first innings, 112 ; second innings, three wickets down, 107—total, 219. The match will be resumed this Morning. THZ GRAND PRIZE Or PARIS.—This grand inter- , national race, which is to be decided at Longcluimps on Sunday next, promises to be more than usually interesting. Neither Lord Lyon, Rustic, Savernake, nor, in fact, any of the Derby " cmcics " are engaged, and the race looks a "goal thing" for Ceylon, who with his stable-com panion, King Hal, have already arrived in France for tlieir engagements. It is expected that Mu march of the (Ben, Mazeppa, The I'rimate, Bertie, and Lochiel will also cross the Channel and en deavour to avenge the Gladiateur triumph at Epsom. The French horses likely to run are Lesbos. Colombo, Stil ton, (Anna, Vents, Germanique. and Marevedis. Le Jocke.o, the French Turf paper, predicts the success of Cey lon, and considers that Lesbos, Colombo, and Stilton are the best of the French division. The latest betting in Paris is n. under :-41 to 4 apt Ceylon (t), 4 to I apt Mo narch of the Glen (off), 6 to I apt Mazeppa (t), 7 to I agst The Priorae (t). 8 to I apt Ischia (off), 19 to 1 apt Lochiel (t), 10 to 1 ~gat Bertie (off), and 6 to I apt any of the French lot (off). —.Sporting Life.

CLADhTONES SCHEME FOR REDUCING THE NATIONAL Darer.--A return, explanatory of Mr. Glad stone's scheme, chowing its effect, each half-year, till 1885, in all its various modes of operation, has just been prepared bj the Treasury, in obedience to an order of the House of Commons. It will be recollected that the arnaunt of the irredeemable annuity, into which Mr. GlAilgtune plopoeed to convert the savings bank debt, was 1,7'25,128/. per annum. The half-yearly payment, there fore, on lOth October next will be 862,5141. By means of this sum an equivalent 3 per cent. stock of 980,186/. can be purthasiNi and cancelled, at the price of 88 per cent. This stock being cancelled, it is proposed to com mute it at 31. its. per cent. the interest resulting from the above price into annuities expiring on the sth April, 1905. The annuity to be created for the first half-year will be 40,452/. per annum, and the first half-yearly moiety of this annuity for re-investment will be 20,226/. But the half year's interest on the stock cancelled will only be 14,703!.: so that to pay this new annuity there will lie a net increased charge in the half-year 0 f 5 ,.. 5 . 2 37. For the second half-year—viz., on the sth .April next—the half-yearly payment on the original annuity will be increased by 20,2261., the payment for the new annuity created ; and the sum available for can celling stock will thus be 8e3.2,7t.10/., instead of 862,5641. All the other results will be increased in proportion. 1,003,170/. stock will be cancelled ; 41,666/ new annuities will be created ; the half-year's interest on stock cancelled will be '29.7501. ; and the net increased charge in the half year will be 11,309/. On sth April, 1885, 62,514,8491. of stock will have been cancelled, and an annuity of 3.170.316/., terminating in 1905, will have been created, the increased annual charge being 647,4351. A similar table is made up showing the effect of the operation, be ginning with an annuity of 100,0001. SIR E. C. KERRY:M.I, M.P.—lt was stated on I Monday that Sir E. C. Kerrison, M.P. for Eye, had died. The lion. baronet has been very seriously indisposed, but yesterday it was announced that he was somewhat better. BOEOE - GM OF GREENWICH. —A public meeting is announced to be held at the Town-hall, Woolwich, for the adoption of measures to induce the government to divide the borough of Greenwich, and give one member to each division. REPitesErrATios OF DARLINGTON. —Strenuous efforts have been made by the inhabitants of Darlington to obtain direct parliamentary representation. A good deal of disappointment was felt at the town not having been included in the government Redistribution Bill, the steps taken to lay its claims before the government Laving been deemed imply sufficient to attain that end. According to statistics gathered by Mr. S.W. Pease, M.P., and laid before a public meeting some time since, the population of the town is not less than 26,000, which gives au increase of something like 10,000 since the census of 1861. These figures were duly submitted to the govern ment, but Mr. Gladstone having regard only to the census of 1861, when Darlington was below 18,000, dues not pro pose to give her a member. There are few towns in the whole country progressing more rapidly than the towns of South Durham, and from the commercial importance of Darlington it is felt to be a grievance that no proposition has been 'made by the government to enfranchise it. On Monday s meeting of the committee appointed to watch the matter in the interest' of the town was held in the lecture-room of the Central-hall, when it was determined to get a petition largely signed to parliament, embodying the claim, of Darlington, to be presented at an early day. A deputation from Stockton bad been expected, but a letter from Mr. Faber stated that the Stockton gentlemen could not attend that day. It was ultimately agreed to meet the Stockton deputation in London—it being in tended that a body of gentlemen shall proceed from both places next week to urge by personal interviews and other moans the claims of the two places on members of parlia ment to separate representation, but, failing to obtain that, to joint representation. The present population of Stockton is estimated at 23,000, that place having increased in the last five years in the same ratio as Darlington. It • was also agreed that a statement of the claims of Darling ton should be sent to every individual member of podia . anent.— Newcastle Cliromick. einibtrigtv 3Entetti2enct. CAMBRIDGE, KAY 221 - -- • Ttis COMMZ.Ncimeatcr. —This afternoon, at the time appointed for the recitation in congregation of the various exercises that have obtained the University prises, and also for the conferring of h onorar y degrees, there was a brilliant assembly in the Senate house. The Vice-Chancellor (the Bev. Dr. Cartmell, Master of gist's) presided, and the seats on the door were densely crowded by members of the Senate and their friends, the majority of the occupants being those of the fairer sex. The undergraduates availed themselves to the full of their time-honoured right of presence in the galle ries, and thence expressed their &ard or disapproval of all that was going on below, h they w ere some what less demonstrative than usual. The grand mark of their favour vaa afforded in the wecome given to the members for the University, Mr. Walpole and Mr. Selwyn, who were both present. The proceedings commenced with the usual formalities, and then the honorary degrees were conferred. it had been arranged, ea previously stated, that the de ee of Doctor in Law should have been conferred on M. Alphonse de Can dollet the Venerable Professor Sedgenck, Professor Phillips (Oxon), Mr. Hooker (Begin Soc. Load. Soc.), and Mr. Thomson, the eminent natural philosopher, of St. Peter's College. Of these, however, only Professor Phillips and Mr. Thomson presented themselves, and upon them the degree was conferred in the usual form, after their presentation, in a commendatory speech to the Vice-Chan cellor by the proctor. The recitation of the prize exercises then commenced amid the deepest attention of the company on the floor, but the criticisms favourable and adverse of the occupants of the galleries. The conduct of the undergraduates up to the close of the con gregation was, on the whole, exemplary, and one of them called for the approval of the Vice-Chancellor by asking, " Haven't we been good boys, Mr. Vice-Chan cellor ? " but on the retirement of the officials they got up • frolic on their own account, the egress from a certain window being the case. bell,. Those who were in wanted to get out by this partioular point of vantage, but when out their sympathies were immediately enlisted against the insiders, and a mimic war was carried on, in the midst of which a large Turk's head broom, with which charges were effected, came to grief amidst much fun and laughter. There was an almost total absence of political feeling. Tip , FR S, WEPESPAY ~~~ Pr MAY 1f366 7 i , L 'Ante. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—MAy 22. Bitting§ in Baneo.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Barons Martin, Bran:mall, and Channell.) FROM L. C.ABVILL V. HMI. It may be recollected that this case came before the court last term, and it raised a very otuioua point of law. The action was brought by the trustee of a marriage set tlement, whereby the defendant, who was the lady's father, contracted to pay to the husband an annuity of 200/. a year in consideration of his marrying the lady; and the plaintiff, who was the trustee and brother of the hus band, sought to recover one year's annuity under the deed. By the fourth plea the defendant alleged that the huand had proved to be impotent, and that therefore the contract was broken, the husband not being in a fit state to ooutract matrimony. On s demurrer to that plea, which was argued last term, the court held the plea to be bad, but as regarded the third plea, which was a plea on equitable grounds and simply stated that the defendant had been induced to enter into this covenant by fraud, but did not allege the particulars of the fraud, the co urt referred the matter to chambers, in order that the defendant should give the plaintiff the particulars of the alleged fraud. Yr. D. D. Keane now moved to set aside the plea and the particulars, on the ground that the particulars sup plied by the order of the Learned judge at chambers were substantially nothing more than a reiteration of the in competency alleged in the fourth plea, which had been held to be bad. The difference between the two pleas was, that one simply stated the fact, and the other set out that the defendant had been induced to enter into the contract by fraud, and then stating the fraud. The Court held that they could not decide a case of this kind off-hand, and that it must be argued; the Lord Chief Baron observing that in all human probability no evidence would be offered in support of the plea, and that therefore the court might safely order the issue in fact to be tried, leaving the matter of law to be argued hereafter. tlabat anZtr iffititary.

RAILWAY REVENUE THIS YEAR. --•-- There h as been great progress in the revenue acquired upon the railways of Great Britain and Ireland this year.

Making allowance for this fact, we find an increased revenue during the quarter of no less than 734,6271., established with about 500 additional miles at work. In the current quarter also it will be seen that affairs have moved on well, notwithstanding recent financial difficulties : 1866. 1865. Week end. Receipts. lilies. Receipts. Miles. Increase.

In 1856, when there were between 8,500 and 9,000 miles at work, the corresponding total was 23,165,4911. PEACE SOCIETY. —The fiftieth public anniversary of this society was held last evening in Finsbury Chapel, Moortields ; Mr. H. Pease in the chair. It appeared that the receipts of the society during the year, including 1,6421. in subscriptions, and a balance of 4081., amounted to 2,3001. 4s. 6d., while the expenditure had been 1,643/. 13s. rel., leaving a balance in hand of 656/. lls. Id. The report, after reviewing the labours of the agents of the society during the year, which had met with the greatest encouragement in every part of the kingdom stated that during the last six weeks the threatening aspect of affairs in Europe had made the proposal of gradual disarmament hopeless for the present, but it had awakened in the people a deeper feeling of the importance of adhering to the policy of strict non-intervention. Soon after the last annual meeting of the society a general election took place, and the committee thought they ought not to allow such an opportunity to pass without some effort to bring under the attention of both constituencies and candidates those prac tical questions bearing on peace and war which seemed to come fairly under the cognizance of the society. Accord ingly they had issued circulars to their agents in different parts of the country, suggesting certain in which they might put to candidates seeking the suffrages of the electors, in order to ascertain their opinions with regard to those questions calculated to disturb the public peace. These suggestions had been carried out in several places, and with the most encouraging results. It was much to be regretted that the electors generally did not more airs fully scrutinise the characters of those whom they elected with reference to these momentons questions. It was impossible not to feel that the present composition of the House of Commons was utterly unsatisfactory as regarded the interests of economy and peace. An analysis of the new parliament showed that muoh more than one-half probably three-fourths of the House of Commons were implicated by interest or sympathy in the maintenance of the war system. The 11ev. 11. Stowell Brown, of Liver pool, in an able speech, moved a resolution calling for pecuniary efforts to give wider scope and effect to the labours of the society. Mr. William Morgan proposed a resolution cordially approving the course taken by the Peace Society, in conjunction with other bodies, in calling attention to and demanding inquiry respecting the late de plorable events in Jamaica, and earnestly hoping that the result of the inquiry would be not only to vindicate the cause of justice, but to initiate a better system of rule in that unhappy island. TnE VICTORIA INsTITUTE. —This newly-formed society. founded to " defend revealed truth against the oppositions of science, falsely so called," and to associate together men of science and authors engaged in investi gating those questions of philosophy which bear on the Holy Scripture, holds its first general meeting to-morrow, I the Queen's birthday and the anniversary of the society's foundation, at Willie's Rooms. The Rev. Walter Mit chell, M.A., Vice President, will deliver an inaugural ad , dress, after which the members will dine together, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The association now numbers 200 members. THE CASH PAYMENT ASSOCIATION.—Under this title a society has been formed to secure to its mem bers certain definite advantages in their dealings with tradesmen in return for cash payment. This is done by arranging for the extension to retail transactions of the allowance of discount for ready money, which is so fami liar to commerce. At the same shop some persons buy on credit at a price supposed to cover the risk of loss as well as interest on the debt ; while others, who buy for ready money, are charged at the same rates. The inte rest of the trader would dispose him to increase the number of his ready money customers, by making a concession in price, if a definite understanding could be established with them. The Cash Payment Association undertakes to bring about an arrangement of this kind. Its members form a body of customers numerous enough to be important, and it makes terms on their behalf with tradesmen,of whom it issues lists, and who will supply goods to holders of the tickets of the association on advantageous terms. A ticket, not transferable, will be issued to every subscriber, which, if shown in the shop of any tradesman registered in the lists of the association, will entitle the holder to the rate of discount specified in the society's periodical circular. [Advertisement.l HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Liver Complaints and Disorders of the Bowels. —lt is Impossible to exaggerate the extraordinary value of this medicine in the treat ment of all affeetious of the liver or irregularities of the bowels. In cases of depraved or superabundant bile, these pills, taken freely, have never been known to fail. In bowel complaints they are smugly efficacious, but they should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every medicine in the form of an aperient re quires eaiition when the bowels are disordered, though a gentler or more g enial aperient than these pills in moderate doses has never vet been discovered.

Yesterday afternoon Victor Widmann, 35, was brought up by warrant, in the custody of Inspectr Williamson, of the detective police, and charged before Sir Thomas Henry, chief magistrate of Bow-street, with being a fraudu lent banker, and having absconded) from France with a large amount of money, securities, k.c., belonging to his cus tomers, the aggregate amount being upwards of 120,000 f. The prosecution was conducted by a French advocate (M. Albert, interpreter), and the prisoner (who was appre hended at Peckham) was represented by Mr. Montagu Williams, instructed by Mr. W. A. Kilby, Fenchurch- street. The present proceedings were rendered necesaary by the ' Act 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 120, which was passed for facilitat ing the execution of the extradition treaty signed between America, France, and England. The principal witness was Adolph Picard, who said he was manager to the Messrs. Schumberger, general merchant' and official assignees under the prisoner's bankruptcy. The prisoner was the manager of a bank at Guebwiller, Haute !thin, in France, and was responsible to the shareholders for the whole of the moneys invested therein. On the 17th of March he went to the bank, and found the prisoner had fled. The bank was an sesociation en rommandite. It was found that he had taken with him a large amount of money, and also bills and commercial securities, amounting in the whole to nearly 100,000 f. Inspector Williamson and Sergeant Dunicovitch here produced a large number of commercial securities, which they found when they arrested the prisoner. The witness (looking at the documents) said he was sure some of them were securities that he knew were in the bank. The prisoner, after be had arrived in London, wrote the letter to witness (produced), asking him if pos sible to arrange matters for him with his creditors. He admitted taking with him securities to the value of about 90,000 francs, and not 150,000 francs, as had been repre sented. He further stated that he had not intended to appropriate the money to his own use, but that he in tended it for the most necessitous amongst his creditors. The prisoner was apprehended at Peckham, where he was living under the assumed name of Be:tujois. ' Sir T. Henry—The whole of the property found, viz., the 30,000 f. in Bank notes and the 31,000 f. in bills, belong to the creditors of the prisoner. Witness—Yes. Sir T. Henry—And there is still a large amount missing? Witness—Yes ; 50,000 f. (upwards of 2,000/. English). Mr. M. Williams, who appeared for the prisoner, said he had to ask that the prisoner might be remanded, in order that he might have an interview with his client with respect to the state of his affairs. lie had but recently been called upon to defend the prisoner, and he had not had time to make himself familiar with the intricate matters connected with the case. Sir T. Henry thought such an application but fair and reasonable, and therefore the prisoner was remanded until to-morrow tthis day). THAMES. Two well-known ruffians, named Thomas Dirnmid,aged 18, and John Driscoll, 17, were charged with being con cerned with another villain, also named John Driscoll, aged 18, and three others, with violently assaulting and robbing M. Karl Erlander, a surgeon, of Upper Berner street, St. George's-in-the-East. The prosecutor, a German, who gave his evidence through the medium of M. Wintjin, an interpreter, was passing along Leman-street, Whitechapel, near the police station, on the night of the 17th inst., when he was sud denly attacked by the three men in custody and three more. Diamond struck him in the face, another " bonneted " him by striking his hat over his face. He was knocked down and knelt upon, and the ruffians took his Porte-monnaie from his trousers' pocket, his specta cles from his lett waistcoat pocket, and his watch from his right waistcoat pocket. His purse contained St. 4s. in money when it was taken from him. His watch was cut off the guard. One of the thieves, John Driscoll, aged 18, was arrested immediately after the robbery by Benjamin Archer, No. 101 H, and brought before Mr. Partridge on Friday, and remanded for a week. The police believed if time was given they should be able to appre hend the others concerned in the outrage and robbery. The prosecutor was able to identify the prisoners as taking part in the attack upon him. Diamo nd was the first to begin the attack. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners until Friday next. HAMMERSMITH. On the arrival of the police van from the House of De tention with prisoners on remand, it was stated that the clergyman who was committed on Saturday in default of finding bail for his good behaviour on account of his drunken habits, had died in prison. The name of the de ceased had been incorrectly entered by the police, his pro per name and address being, the Rev. George Evezard, 12, Blandford-square, and not the Rev. George Heavyside. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. —lt appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, May 19, the births rzgistered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,232 ; the deaths registered, 3,0. The annual rate of mortality was 28 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 970 boys and 949 girls, in all 1,919 children, were registered m the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1856.65 the average number, corrected for increase of popula tion, was 1,976. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,467. It was the twentieth week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week I was, with a correction for increase of population, 1,271. THE LONDON GUARDIANS AND THE SICK POOR. — . Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the St. Pancras guardians, a letter signed by a member of the guardian board of St. George's, Hanover-square, with respect to a conference of Loudon guardians, was read. The object of the meeting was thus met forth :—" With a view to pro cure the fullest information necessary to determine the proper action to be taken in relation to the resolutions submitted to the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, the President of the Poor-law Board, by Lord Carnarvon and others, members of an Association for the Improvement of Work house Infirmaries, you are invited to attend the public meeting of metropolitan guardians and those of their friends who are interested in this important subject." The resolution to be submitted to the meeting was also read. It is to the following effect :—" That the removal of paupers from the control of parochial management, and placing them under a central or imperial authority, would be subversive of the principles of local self-government, and that the collecting together of sick paupers in large hospital. containing 1,000 beds each would not be con ducive either tothe cure or the well-being of the inmates." OPENING OF THE CRIEFF AND METHVEN Jursc nos RAILWAT.—The Crieff and Methven Junction Rail way was opened for traffic on Monday. The weather was fine, and the day was observed as a holiday in Crieff and neighbourhood. The several special and excursion trains which were run to Perth carried upwards of 1,000 passen gers. The line, which passes through the fertile valley of the Pow, is nearly twelve miles in length, and joins the Methven, Almond Valley, and Perth Railway about a mile east from the hiethven terminus. There are neat and commodious stations at Inner 'Jeffrey, Abercairney, Madderty, and Belgowan. The whole route from Crieff to Perth is famous for its varied and beautiful scenery. The first sod of the railway was cut on the 23rd May, 1865, and the con tractors, Messrs. Grainger, have completed the works in a most satisfactory manner. Mr. Buchanan was the engineer of the line. The Board of Trade gave orders for opening the railway under the conditions that the company should provide ample accommodation at the Crieff end of the line independent of the Crieff Junction terminus, and build a sufficient bridge over the Duchla-rcad. The directors of the Scottish North Eastern and Crieff and Methven Junc tion Railways, along with the principal shareholders, dined together yesterday afternoon in the County-hall, Perth, in honour of the opening of the railway ; end at Crieff the principal shops, banks, and all the public works were closed during the entire day. —Sccifseran.

Fulwood Barracks, near Preston, have narrowly escaped being the scene of another outrage similar in character almost to that which was perpetrated there • few year* air, when two officers of the garrison were brutally an deliberately murdered by • private soldier namedld`Kaffery. It seems that a few afternoons ago a private of the 21st Regiment, the depot of which is stationed at Fulwood Barracks, went into the canteen, got drunk, and was afterwards placed in the guard-room by direction of Sergeant Sweeney, of the 21st Regiment, who was on canteen duty. This oirramstance came to the knowledge of Private Hayes, of the 2nd battalion of the 21st Regiment, who was a companion of the man taken to the guard-room for being drunk, and who feeling vexed at the conduct of the sergeant, hit upon the diabo lical idea of shooting him for the exercise of his authority in the manner indicated. Knowing that the non-commie sioned officers would have staff parade in the large square of the barracks at half-past 9 o'clock the same night, Hayes appears to have made up his mind to then carry out his wicked intention. At the time named the non-com missioned officers paraded in the square, and by the lights from the different quarters of the garrison, which all shine in the direction of the partial reflection of the moon, their figures could be dammed with moderate distinctness, but it was impossible at any distance to recognise the fea tures of any of them. As soon as they made their appearance Hayes, with a loaded rifle in his hand, proceeded out of his quarters on the western side of the square,walked down one of the lobbies leading to the front, and then deliberately took aim at one of the men in the square , whom he too to be Sergeant Sweeney, but who was in reality Sergeant Roden', of the 2nd battalion of the 25th. Rodgers was standing alone, about 20 yards from Hayes, whilst the general body of non-commissioned officers were about as far again from him. When Hayes discharged the rifle he was heard to say something to the effect that he had " done it for the now." The bullet with which the rifle was loaded passed just over Sergeant Rodgers' head, and cleared the general body of non-commissioned officers by about a foot and a half. It was picked up next morning on the opposite side of the barracks yard, having been completely flattened by coming in contact with the wall there. The noise occasioned by the discharge of the rifle at that time of night naturally created great excitement in the garrison ; but there was no difficulty in learning who had been the cause of it. Hayes after firing the rifle stood still, and being at once seen was seized by Sergeant Sloan, who with sasistance conveyed him to the guard-room. Hayes, who appeared quite cool when ar rested, was taken before one of the captains next morning, and on being questioned as to why he fired at the non commissioned officers in the square, he deliberately inti mated that his intention was to shoot Sergeant Sweeney, and no one else. He is now under close surveillance, and will be either brought before a general court martial, or the county magistrates. Hayes is known as a coarse blackguardly fellow. He has been in the army about a dozen years. Once he was drummed out of the Marines for some offence, and he has also been guilty of desertion. After being arrested his rifle was examined, and it was found to be " sighted " for 400 yards. This accounts for the fortunate miss he made at yards. He appears to have aimed at the head of Rodgers, but the wrong sight of the rifle necessarily changed thelaltitude, and in accordance with the ratio of distance caused the bullet just to pass over the heads of the whole party in the square. If they mo r e st a greater distance the level would have beenrfect, and there can be no doubt that several of them would have shot. THE FATALLONDON COLLISION RAILWAY. ON THE NORTH Yesterday Mr. John Huinphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an investigation at the Green Man Tavern, Hoxton Old Town, into the circumstances of a collision between two trains at the Shoreditch station of the North London Railway, by which John Ellis, an engine -driver, was killed, and some of the passengers more or less in jured. The evidence with respect to the collision went to prove what has been already reported, that on last Satur day evening, at half-past seven o'clock, a passenger train from Bow to Broad-street was detained for some five or six minutes at Shoreditch station, and that the driver, John Ellis, got off the engine and stood in front of it to oil the machinery. A Chalk-farm train, coming along on the same metals, crashed into the Bow train behind, send ing it clear out of the station. The deceased was then found dead on the metals. The question then - arose as to the cause of the accident, and the evidence upon that point was singularly conflicting, and the examination of witnesses lasted nearly six hours. Edward Montague, the guard of the train which was run into, stated that the semaphore signal was at the danger point when his train approached the station, but the de ceased came up slowly on that account. The anger signal remained up the whole time the train remained in the station, and was certainly up at the time the Chalk-farm train came into the station. The danger signal, of course, should have caused it to stop. On the other hand, John Hines, driver of a train from Broad-street, deposed that as he was approaching the Shoredita station the semaphore stood at " danger" for up and down lines ; he whistled and the semaphore arms were both lowered. He went on to the station and saw the deceased's train there. The se maphore remained down. In a minute the Chalk-farm train was seen coming along. Witness jumped upon his engine and waved his arms for it to stop. It slackened speed, but the collision was then inevitable. Rolls, the driver of the Chalk-farm train, also swore that the semaphore was down, or " all right," and several witnesses corroborated his evidence. Richard Long, the signalman, was then cautioned, and he gave his evidence with great straightforwardness. He said that there were three signals, the distance signal, the semaphore, and the platform signal. He kept the plat form signal at " stop " to detain the deceased's train at the station till he received a telegram from Broad-street that that station was clear. He believed he then lowered the platform signal, and he imagined the train went on, for he heard the engine whistle. He knew it was that train whistled, but he did not see it leave, for he could nut always be looking out of his window, his duties were so numerous. He was certain that the semaphore remained until after the collision at "danger." He telegraphed to the block signal box near 'Alston that the station was clear, and that' allowed the Chalk-farm train to pass. Witness was nine months a signalman, and his hours were from six till six o'clock latterly in consequence of a man being sick. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Richard Long. The coroner accepted bail for Long's appearance. THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. Although a large number of persons were injured by the accident on the London and North Western Rail way, near the Watford tunnel, on Monday morning, no fatal consequences have as yet ensued. Most of the injured persons have been removed to their own homes, but there are two gentlemen who were so se riously hurt that they could not be brought up to London, and they are now at the Railway Hotel, opposite the sta tion, at Watford. They are attended by Dr. Brett, of that place, and are expected to recover. The bridge against which the train ran is named Hunton-bridge, and is about two miles from the Watford station. On the embankments by the bridge there were yesterday still ample evidences of the accident. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT. —An extra ordinary accident occurred to a little girl, named Bowyer, living at Sonthsea, on Tuesday afternoon. It appears that she had been sent out to a neighbouring public-house with a glass bottle for some stout, and on her return she fell and broke the neck off the bottle. In falling, however, her neck came upon the jagged ends of the broken glass, which penetrated one of the main arteries, and the flow of blood was so profuse that death ensued almost imme diately afterwards. THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN IRELAND. —Salt uders' News of yesterday says :—" No further case of rinderpest has occurred in the north of Ireland, and the stringency of the regulations which have been adopted to prevent the infection from spreading, and which our Belfast corres pondent informs us are strictly carried out, will, we trust, have the desired effect. Very strong doubts have been expressed, and are still entertained in some quarters, that the disease which has made its appearance in the north of Ireland is really rinderpest ; but the opinion of the expe rienced veterinary surgeons who have made post =orient examinations of some of the animals affected ought to be accepted as conclusive on this point. They are of opinion, also, that the disease in Ireland is of a milder type than that which caused such ravages among the cattle in Eng land." The Waterford Chronicle of Monday says :—" The disease has appeared in this vicinity. A cow, the property of Vilr. Thomas Fitzgerald, of Ballynakinsella, about three miles from Waterford, died this morning. Some of the symptoms correspond with those of rinderpest. The go vernment inspector has been telegraphed for, and will hold an examination on the carcase to-morrow." THE RI/CDERPEST IN NORTOLIL.—The Privy Council has consented that the cattle attacked with rinder pest in the herd of Mr. Hugh Aylmer, of West Dereham, Norfolk, shall be exempted front slaughter, in order that the effects of chloroform may be tried upon them. Pro fessor Symonds is ordered by the Privy Council to proceed to West Dereham to conduct the experiments. It appears that 22 beasts have been under treatment at Mr. Aylmer's,. two have died, three have been declared perfectly cured, and the others are considered to be in a fair way of recovery. STRANGE PHENOMENON. —A very CUTIOUE and strange phenomenon has appeared in the parish of Kil matey, five miles from this town, in the shape of a very large collection of caterpillars which " came up" suddenly on a field and across a road, being so thickly spread as to present the appearance of soot scattered from a cart pass ing over the place in a zigzag line. They are gathered usually in small heaps along the land, as if emptied out from bowls or breakfast cups. They are now beginning to decrease in number, but there must have been originally more than a couple of millions of them congregated there. Their colour is speckled black and white ; but to what 9enss of the moth they belong it is impossible to say. The Rev. Mr. Breakey, the incumbent of the parish, has se cured specimens of them, some of which he has forwarded to scientific authorities for information regarding them. Linder the microscope they present a very remarkable ap pearance, having branchy hairs of a most peculiar deacrip tion.—C7art Journal. UZETTE.

THE FASTEST STEAMER IN THE WORLD. —The Egyptian paddlewheel steam yacht Mailrooms, Captain Fredrigo Bey, built under the superintendence of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, by Mews, Satan& Brothers, of London, for the Viceroy of Egypt, arrived here on Saturday, 12th instant, at 6.:10 p.m., having per formed the voyage from Southampton in the unprece dented short time of 157 hours. 'When under full steam she consumes seven tons of coal an hour, and is, without exception, the fastest vessel afloat. At the measured mile in Stokes Bay, her average speed was upwards of 1$ 4-10 knots an hour, which is equal to about 20i statute miles. After replenishing fuel she proceeded on the 16th instant for Constantinople, to meet the Viceroy, who, it is re ported, intends paying a visit to England in her this sum mer. This splendid vessel is of 1,800 tons, and is fitted with machinery of 800 horse power. Her interior fittings are of extraordinary magnificence. Her cost is said to have been 106,0001.—M0/to Times, May 17. FIRE IN THE HIGHLANDS. —An extensive fire broke out on Monday in Rothiemnrelius Forest.

Prices are the same. There has been a fair inijuti7 t 0 44 for the Levant, but at priem too low to be m a i m * eitte. tamed by spinners. The demand for India, and more p i . ticularly for Germany, is emeedingly anal, and Me l h is gamely been any operations for those markets.
