IN THZ COUNTY COURT.—In the County Court, at Whitby, on Friday, beforo Mr. G. J. W. Far syde, deputy-judge, Thomas Peirson, solicitor, of East Row, near Whitby, summoned Mr. Charles Magnall, M.P. for the borough of Whitby, for the sum of 151. 1 I s., for lissl and professional services rendered during the last election. The very peculiar circumstances of the last general election at Wlutby will be fresh In the recollection of every reader of our paper, the details appearing u regu larly as they occurred. It seems, however, that on the day that George Hudson, the ex Railway King, was taken to York Castle, that Mr. Charles Baguall was induced, by the influential deputation which waited upon him, to oome forward and step into his shoes as a candidate for the borough of Whitby. The following day was the day of nomination, and the succeeding day was the polling day. On the declaration of the poll being made by the returning Ulcer, Mr. &avail was declared the " Member for Whitby." On the termination of the election, the various claims were sent in to the representative of the new mem ber, some of which have been settled. The plaintiff in this ease, however, after applying on various occasions for the amount of his claim, was communicated with by the solicitors of Mr. Hainan, who offered him 10 guineas for his services. This Mr. Peirson refused to accept, and hence the present proceedings. After hearing the evidence, Lis honour briefly recapitulated, and said he should allow 5 guineas for the usual retaining fee, and M. 10s. per day for the two following days, or 12 guineas in all.—Mr. Peirson then asked his honour to allow the outs of the day, which was granted. The ease excited an unusual mount of interest.—Netecastle CAroniefe._ THE §WI;;;TERS .... gI: " EiOin.::II;is event is to come off to-night in the Lambeth Swimming Bath ; the race being for the captaincy of the London Swimming Club. The favourites, Henry Gurr, the Champion of England, and David Pamplin, swam a dead heat in each of their latest races. Both swim with marvellous dexterity, the little champion's celerity as he bores through the water with his peculiar screw-stroke having earned for him the sobriquet of " The Flying Fish," while Pamplin, from the remarkable combination of grace and swiftness in his beautiful side-stroke, is called the "Scudding Seal." Each is very young to have attained inch pre-eminence in swimming prowess, Garr being but 19, while his formidable nrwl is even two years younger. A few noted amateur swimmers are to contend with the= for mastery—Daniel 1. Hoias (champion of Coventry), William Adams, and Ben_ry Moore (the winner of Sir William Fraser's gold dal). There will likewise be several prises for public competition, and a contest for the captaincy of the new swimming club, started in connexion with the German gymnastic Society, whose amateur band will play • seleo- Ana from the best masters. In addition to the racing teen will be a diving competition, and • display of mien. tifie swimming by Prol os e or B ec kwith, Mr. B Newlands, and several other eminent masters of natation. The sports are to commence precisely at 8 o'clock, and a detailed programme will be presented to each visitor. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (zzurre's TBLIGWIL ) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SOT. 22. At the banquet given yesterday by the munici pality of this city in honour of the return of the army, the sing made a speech, of which the fol lowing were the concluding words :—" May peace be lasting, and be of equal benefit to the future of Prussia and Germany." Then raising his glass, his Majesty said, "Thanks to my faithful people and my glorious army. Hurrah far the army and the people in arms. Hurrah for the Fatherland." • The military representatives of England, France, Italy, and Russia were present at the banquet. The Zeidler Corrupondence of to-day declares the newspaper reports relative to the Prusso-Saxon peace negotiations to be without foundation, and adds that the preliminary conferences between the plenipotentiaries of the two countries have been entirely without result. The lams journal serials that at the resent moment no negotiations whatever are being carried on with Saxony. The Official Gazette publishes to-day the law for the union of Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau, and Frankfort with the Prussian monarchy. BERLIN, Brxr. 23. The King has addressed a letter of thanks to the civic authorities and population of Berlin for the brilliant reception which they have ac corded to the army. The letter concludes thus : " Such momenta as these unite more closely that which was already united, and place the aim which we pursue with an unanimous, persevering, and self-sacrificing spirit, namely, the good of the Fatherland, in an ever clearer light." Herr Haymerle, Councillor of Legation, who will represent Austria in this capital until the definitive appointment of an ambassador, arrived here this morning from Vienna, accompanied by secretary Count Zaluski. ITALY. MESSLNA, Sr.a 20, Evzsiso. Ten vessels, with troops, arrived at Palermo on Sunday last. They have disembarked and engaged the insur gents. The fighting continued to-day. The insurgents have formed a committee of direction. The royal troops are still in possession of the royal palace and bank. There are 16 million lire deposited in the latter building. It is believed here that the movement will shortly be suppressed. OFFICIAL. FLORENCE, Bzrr. 22. The royal troops entered Palermo yesterday without meeting with any serious resistance and without sustaining any losses. The insurrectionary movement is subdued. Tho ministry have decided to give full and im mediate effect in Sicily to the law on the suppres sion of religious corporations. The commission of investigation into the condi tion of the Italian navy is said to have reported that the escapist of the fleet is all that could be desired, and that its armament was perfect and complete even before the battle of Lima. The Opinions of to-day, in an article upon the conferences at Vienna, states that the question of the Venetian debt is now simplified. In conse quence of the declarations of the Prussian and French governments, Austria no longer insists that Italy should assume a portion of the general Aus trian debts incurred since 1859. It is therefore established in principle that Italy shall only assume the Lombardo-Venetian debt, and a portion of the debt incurred by the loan of 1854. The Opinions adds that peace will shortly be concluded. _ FLORENCE, Sv'r. 23, EVENUM. Official intelligence received here from Palermo announces that at noon yesterday the royal troops occupied the entire city. The bands had been dis persed, and several arrests had been made. The National Guard was again organized, and the troops patrolled the streets of the city. Last night Palermo was illuminated, and the houses were decorated with flags. ROME, Barr. 22. The Antibes Legion has arrived here. The O f ficial Gazette denies the news published by the Vienna Dthatte that Mgr. Hohenlohe had gone to England with a letter from the Pope to Queen Victoria. The official journal adds that Mr. Odo Russell has been in England for some time past. RUSSIA AND DENMARK. ST. PETERSBURG, San. 23. The Princeas Dagmar and the Prince of Den mark, on their arrival will land at St. Petersburg, where they will be received by the entire court, and will then immediately leave for Zarakue Selo. COPENHAGEN, S=PY. 22. The Princess Dagmar left at noon to-clay for Russia, accompanied by the Crown Prince of Den mark. Large crowds assembled to witness her royal highness's departure. Flowers were strewn along her path, and great enthusiasm prevailed. The Russian squadron is off Barnholm. THE NETHERLANDS. THE HAGUE, San. V. In to- day's sitting of the second Chamber the government brought forward the budget for 1867. - The revenue is estimated at 98,500,000, and the expenditure at 97,000,000 florins. The extraordi nary expenditure for the' navy is fixed at three millions. There will be no extraordinary redemp tion of the public debt. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SIPT. 22, Evzignia. The Court of Caseation has rejected the appeal of M. Gilliard, editor of the Grelot, andof M. Delimal, editor of the Espiegle. A meeting of the civic guards has been held here, at which it was resolved to petition the ministry to allow the riflemen already in Brussels to compete at once for the prizes to be awarded at the grand shooting match next month. THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. MESSINA, Srrr. 22. A private despatch received here from Corfu describes the recent engagement in Candle as a glorious victory for the Cretans. The battle is said to have taken place at Selino. Three thousand Egyptians were placed lore de combat, sad the Pacha in command, with the remainder of his forces, capitulated. The Cretans captured a con 'adorable quantity of munitions of war, several flags, and four guns. ARRIVAL OF THE MALTA. QUICENSTOWN, SEPT. 22. The Cunard extra steamship Malta, from New York, arrived here at 7.48 p.m. to-day, with 178 passengers and 38,735 dole. in specie for England. After landing 33 of the former she proceeded at 8 p.m. for Liverpool. All well. THE OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL. QIIKENSTOWN, Barr. 23. The Royal Mail steamship Persia arrived here at 7.30 a.m. to-day.

The Union Company's steamship Celt, from the Cape, hasarrived here . Her dates are—Table Bay, 20th August ; St. Helena, 28th ; Ascension, Ist i3eptembor ; 84, Madeira, nth. She brings 60 passengers, including Surveyor- General Bell, Staff-Surgeon Major and Mrs. Powell, and Mr. and Mrs. John Paterson. Se►eral led mace of suicide had occurred in the Cape colony : Mr. Henry Borgmann, • merchant at Allem! North, one of the referees of the Frontier Commercial and Agricultural Branch Bank, obtained access to the banking house, which adjoined his residence, and after business hours abstracted from the sate about 45,0001. Of this 40,0001. was in bills,l,lool. in gold,and the rest notes. On the police discovering that he had perpetratedthe robbery, end being about to take him into custody, he retired to his bedroom, ostensibly to change his coat, and there shot himself dead. His estate is said to be hopelessly in. solvent, principally from his having speculated beyond his means, through which he was unable to take up • quan tity of his paper, which was in the bank and spproaching maturity. Mr. A. J. Zeederberg, • wealthy corn factor, carrying on business in Cape Town, committed suicide by killing himself with • knife, near his country house at Mowbray. His mind bad been a good deal utast by • stormy meeting of shareholders of the Cape Commercial Bank, of which he was one of the directors, which had been held • few clays previously. Captain Stephan, late of the schooner Jon. quille, which was wrecked in Hondeklip Bay, six days after the wreck walked to the end of the jetty there, and having fastened one end of a rope to hie waist, and the other to the woodwork of the jetty, jumped into the water and drowned himself. He wrote • letter to his father informing him whet he was about to do. The loss of the schooner bad rendered him insane. The legisla ture of Natal had passed a measure with the view of es tablishing • reciprocity treaty between that colony and the Cape Colony, by which the trade between them was to be free and their produce mutually exempt from customs duties. In the event of such an arrangement being entered into, it was expected that the whole supply of sugar for the Cape colony would be drawn from Natal. In the Natal colony ecclesiastical matters were quiet. Dean Green had returned from Cape Town. Two series of services were held as heretofore in the cathedral. Bishop Colenso was systematically developing his theological views in the sermons which he was regu larly preaching. The colonial secretary bad formally stated in the Legislative Council that the government bad received no instructions from England to recognise Bishop Colenso. The Bishop of Cape Town was making every preparation to resist the law-suit brought against him to show cause why the title deeds of the cathedral should not be made over to Dr. Colenso. Her Majesty's ship Challenger arrived in Simon's Bay on July 31, from Rio, and left August 5, for Australia. Icarus left Simon's Bay July 12 for China. Swallow arrived in Simon's Bay from Batavia, left on July 21 for Spithead. Rapid was left in Simon's Bay. Valorous left Algoa Bay July 24, for St. Helena. Pearl arrived in Simon's Bay Aug. 20, from China. The United State frigate Junata, Capt. J. J. Alury, was lying at St. Helena, bound to Brasil. At Ascension were the Flora, Jaseur and Pioneer. The Bristol having broken down was de. 'patched on Aug. 28 to England for repairs, accompanied by the Leander, from the Pacific. The Union Company's steamship Saxon arrived out July 26, and the Roman Aug. 12. The Diamond Com pany's steamship Raffraria arrived out Aug. 5. Pt BLIC LIBRARIES TOR THE PEOPLE.—One of the last acts passed in the late session was to amend the law relating to the formation of public libraries in England and Scotland. Some alterations have been made which will facilitate this object, especially as by one of the provisions, where a library or museum has or may be established, a library or museum may be established in connexion with it under this act. The Town Improvement Clauses Act 1847, is not to apply to boroughs ; and it is provided that the expenses of carrying the Public Libraries Act into force in boroughs are to paid out of the borough fund. In boroughs a meeting is to be called at the request of the town council, or of 10 rate-payers. Another im provement is, that the parishes adjoining boroughs may unite to adopt the act. Instead of "two-thirds" at • meeting agreeing to adopt the act, • majority of " more than one-half " will be sufficient. Tho act may now be adopted, no matter the amount of population. The act is to be construed as one with the Public Libraries Act of 1855, and if adopted would raise the character of our working population. - - Tux Frame Ilse's/ans.—We have good reasons for anticipating that the revenue returns for the quarter which will terminate next Sunday, will show an increase of more than half a million as compared with those of the corresponding quarter of 1865. The fact is eminently satisfactory, foe though our present rate of taxation is nearly the same as it was last year, some of the income tax collected in the quarter referred to was upon the higher rate of duty in existence up to April of that year. No doubt the coming returns will show a dimi nution under this head, but it will not be as large as we might have expected. The item of stamps, of course, will be affected by the state of commercial affairs, and under this head we shall also find a falling off. But, as we may gather from the Board of Trade returns, the customs will exhibit • substantial increase, probably not far short of a Quarter of a million. The excise, not yet affected by the bad harvest, will also, no doubt, show en increased yield, quite neutralising the fall ing off in the income tax. The item of miscellaneous will, too, be much more than usually prolific, and, as we have said, the net increase will be substantially in excess of half • million. The state of the accounts for the half-year and year can scarcely he expected to be so favourable in proportion, as the) are affected by the reductions of taxa tion made in April, 1865, which, it will be recollected, Mr. Gladstone expected would have a material effect upon the yield of the present aa well as of the last financial year. — Sunday Gazette. CHARGE or FzNILNISM AND ROBBERY or Go vsasserrr Sroluis ix LIVERPOOL.—Great interest was evinced at the Liverpool Police-court, on Saturday last, in consequence of the examination of four men, named Michael O'Brien, William Careharles Campbell, and Patrick Healey. The formal c harge made against them was that of not accounting for certain property which had been found in their possession. This charge, however, was only made for the purpose of obtaining • remand to • graver one of being Fenian, and of having stolen arms from the government stores. It appeared that the Liver pool detectives got of some information which induced them to eep watch on a cellar in College lane. On Friday afternoon • cart was observed to be loaded by the prisoners with fire canes taken from a warehouse in College-lane. The cart, as soon as the eases were placed in it, was driven off to Grosvenor-street, off Scotland-road, followed by the detec tive officers. As soon as it was stopped, the for pri soners, and another man, not vet in custody, came up, when they were taken into custody. The five cases, on being examined, were found to contain 47 muskets, bayonets, do., and 30 tin eases of phosphorus. The prisoners refused to give any account whatever as to whom the property belonged, or to whom it was intended to be delivered. The, muskets, bore the government brand, and were identified as a portion of • lot that had been stolen from the head-quarters of the London Irish Volunteers, and from the Tower. At the request of Mr. Cobb, who appeared for the prisoners, a remand of seven days was granted by the magistrate. Two of the prisoners Carey and Camp bell, have already suffered incarcer ation in Mountjoy prison, Dublin. I CRYSTAL PALACI. •-•- Haas-A-CROWN DAT. I S ATURDAY,S fissr. 22.

When the sim rose this morning, it shed its rays for the first time on a forest of flagstaffs'and an ocean of flags that appear to have sprung up as if by magic during the night, and are now displayed from the roofs, the windows, and the balconies of, I believe, every house in the city, for the enthu siasm that prevails is universal. It has been often remarked already that the Prussian colours, being black and white, present in themselves anything but a gay appearance, and no amount of ingenuity displayed in the combination can relieve them from the decided. lugubrious look of mourning, or at least half-mourning, they wear. And indeed Prussia has cause to weep at the loss of the many brave hearts that beat no more, and the still greater number of wounded and maimed for We. According to an official statement, rather ostentatiously just published in the Steals-Anzeiger, of the total losses on both sides, as well as the guns, "Sandaled', and other trophies, the particulars are thus given :-1. Num ber of missing and captured : Prussia and her allies, 4 officers and 1,692 rank and file. Austria and her allies: a. Non-wounded prisoners of war, 528 officers and, 35,932 rank and file. b. Under treatment in Prussian military hospitals, 411 offi cers and 13,935 rank and file wounded captives ; total, 939 officers and 49,867 rank and Me ; alto gether, 50,806 men. 2. Number of killed and wounded : Prussian losses : Killed in action, 164 officers and 2,573 men ; died of their wounds, 148 officers and 5,454 men ; wounded, and either recovered or doing well, 562 officers and 14,630 men ; total, 864. officers and 22,657 men ; grand total of killed and wounded, 23,526 men. Austrian loses not yet made up, but Vienna journals con tain a list of 2,465 officers of the infantry and cavalry (in addition to the above losses by capture) amongst whom were 135 staff officers. 3. Losses of cannon and standards : Prussia, nil; Austria and her allies, 486 guns and 31 standards and regi mental flags. At a very early hour the city was teeming with life and bustle ; the workmen of the great Berlin manufactories having had places reserved for them on the Linden Promenade, met in holiday costume at the establishments of their employers, and marched to the appointed locality in procession of four abreast, headed by a band of music, and dis playing flags and banners, with, in many cases, models of the objects manufactured, and the tools employed by them for the purpose. These bands of working men numbered 19,000, and were posted on one side of the linden Promenade, whilst on the other the different guilds or trade corporations took up their position, leaving the centre free for the passage of the troops. These guilds had also collected at different places of rendezvous, and marched likewise in procession to the Linden, with music, flags, banners, and models. Among the most imposing and con spicuous guilds in the procession were the follow ing :—The butchers, the soap-boilers, the painters, the' bookbinders, the coppersmiths, the saddlers, the glovers, the carpenters, the tailors, the tin workers, the boatbuilders, the masons, and the clothworkers ; the whole number of guilds in the procession being 51, who took precedence by draw ing lots, and the number of men that marched to the rendezvous being fully equal to the working men of the great manufactories above mentioned. At half-past 10 a.m. the King, accompanied by the Crown Prince, Prince Friedrich Carl, and several other members of the royal family, rode out of the Brandenburg Gate, and found the regiments destined to enter the city to-day, between twenty-five and thirty thousand men— the rest will make their entrance to-morrow— drawn up on the ground assigned them in the pro gramme, and quite ready to receive him, which they did by long and loud cheering. His Majesty, after inspecting them, placed himself at their head, and led them in person into the city through the same gate. In a tribune close to the gate were the members of the municipal corporation, and when the King approached it, the Burgomaster presented him with an address of congratulation on the successful termination of the war, and the happy return of the victorious army. The next tribune the King had to pass was filled with a galaxy of young ladies, the elite of the beauty of I Berlin, one of whom presented the King with a wreath of laurel, tied with broad white satin ribbon, trimmed with gold, which his Majesty received with evident signs of satisfaction, and, as a proof of how highly he valued the gift, he gallantly attached it to his person, and wore it through the whole suc ceeding part of the pageant. I may here mention that when it was first proposed to appoint a depu tation of the young ladies of Berlin, it found ge- neral favour at once. On former occasions of a similar nature, the ladies were elected either for their rank or else the sotsialstanding of theirfathers, and it muss be confessed they were not conspicuous for their beauty. It was, therefore, resolved by the committee of management to select the deputation entirely for their beauty, and without any reference to their rank or social standing. But now an un foreseen difficulty arose, and that was to find a man bold enough to undertake to play the part of Paris, and decide the conflicting merits of the beauty of each young lady. The office was in vain offered to many gentlemen supposed to possess consummate taste on the subject of female beauty, but declined by them in succession, as no one was willing to load himself with the responsi bility of making such invidbus distinctions, and stirring np a hornet's nest—sit venia verbo—about his ears, from which there could be no escape. Under these circumstances the proposal, though considered by all as a sound one, was on the point of being laid aside as impracticable, when some learned Theban luckily hit upon the happy expe dient of appointing a committee of three, who would then divide the responsibility between them, so that any one member, if complaints were made of his want of impartiality in select ing Miss A. B. and rejecting Miss C. D., could with some semblance of plausibility repel the insinuation and maintain that he had been out voted. It was at first proposed to appoint twenty five of these beauties, but such an outcry was made that the committee of management were fain to give way and consent to an extension of the number, which was then fixed at fifty, and so it remained. But as soon as it was bruited about that the only qualification for a membership of the deputation was beauty, the committee were deluged with let ters from those who considered themselves eligible, enclosing their portraits in proof of their claims, and it became oettoini, no sinealse kaltayn to decide, even oonscientiotialy and impartially, between the respective claims and merits of 1,780 young ladies, that being the number of applications said to have been received by the committee. It was further elsoided that these fifty beauties should be dressed uniformly in plain white without any ornaments, on the principle that 1 0 woman unadorned 's adorned the most," and thee they have become to In Called the "white virgins." For the benefit of young lady readers I am enabled to give them a espy of the order regulating their costume on this eassaion of welcoming royalty, and subjecting them selves to criticism from a potentate who enjoys the amputation of being himself the best judge of beauty in Berlin. It runs as fellows :—" Low dresses of white muslin with short sleeves, white muslin petticoats, white satin shoes, a knot of white ribbons on the left shoulder ; round the waist a girdle of gold, and in the heir • wreath of green lames. The only ornament allowed, earrings, to the exclusion of rings, brooches, and necklaces." All persons who wished to see the pageant pass ware supposed to be in their places by nine o'clock a.m., for at that 'Mar all the approachliii to the Linden were cut off by the police, and many, no doubt, who had paid unconscionable prices for seats, were disappointed at being shut out, and having to try in another part of the line. Fortunately for your correspondent he was in one of the tribunes ' aloes to the Brandenburg Gate, saw the Burgo master present the corporation address to the King, and the "white virgins" crown him with their wreath of laurel leaves ; and then by a sudden exit and a rapid drive in a dusky through the Behren Straw, which runs parallel to the Linden, was able to enter the best tribune by an outer door, and saw the troops defile before the King immediately in front of the tribune. At half-peat eleven o'clock three open royal equipages of dark chocolate colour, with six horses each, drew up at the foot of the tribune. They contained the Queen Augusta and the Queen Dowager, as well as the Crown Princess and the royal children. This tribune was erected just or posit. the head guard-house and Royal Arsenal' and on the open ground between the King's palace and that of the Crown Prince. About noon the King, attended by a numerous suite, cantered up the front, and after paying hisde -mire to the illustrious ladies seatedin the carriages, took his station near them, thus allowing nearly the whole breadth of the square for the troops to march past, which the infantry did in companies three deep, the cavalry in squadrons, and the artillery in double lines ; the troops which took part in the pageant of to-day being chiefly the different regiments of the division of the Guards, the line regiments following to-morrow. When the signal was given to march past the King, the troops were headed by tho venerable Field-Marshal Count von Wrangel, a veteran of eighty years of age, who earned his spurs in the former French war, under Blucher, commanded the Prussians in the first Schleswig-Holstein war in 1849-1850, and the first part of the late war with Denmark, in cluding the redoubts on the heights of Duppel. This old soldier appears to , be a general favourite of the inhabitants of Berlin, by whom he is ge nerally known under the appellation of " Father Wrangel." Yesterday I met him in the street, closely accompanied by a motley group of the un washed workmen and gamins, all loudly cheering him, and the greeting accorded him to-day when riding up to the King at the head of the Guards was equally gratifying and vociferous. The first corps that marched past the King was the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards,in the same uni forms they had worn in the campaign, where they were in most of the battles in Bohemia, and suffered great losses, which, as they have not yet been filled up, showed very reduced ranks. After them were carried the flags and standards cap tured by the army in the different actions with the Austrians. These elicited great cheering from the assembled multitudes, as did also two little boys of 13 and 14 years of age, who had followed the regiment through the whole of the war, and now, by the King's special orders, are incorporated in the regiment, with the usual pay and emoluments. As the different regiments marched past, the King frequently beckoned one or two officers and privates to him, and shook them warmly by the hand, with a few words of thanks and encouragement, which always called forth shouts of applause from the surrounding civilians. Then the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg came up at the head of hie contingent, shook hands with the King, and remained by his side whilst his troops passed on. These Mecklenburg troops had left their helmets at home, and gone through the cam paign in their undress or foraging cape. Then came a troop of about 150 men belonging to all divisions and nearly all regiments ; they had been slightly wounded, and were about to join their re spective corps. Prince Albrecht, jun., of Prussia, now leads on the Garde du Corps and the Guard Cuirassiers, with uniforms that were originally white, but after going through the hardships of the campaign, and bivooacting in the mud for many nights, it is difficult to say of what colour they were when new. These are followed by one of the crack regiments in the Prussian army the Guard Hussars—with red jackets and blue trowsers. Then come representatives of other light cavalry regi ments, most of them cut to pieces, and consisting now of scarcely a squadron of each—light blue, green, brown, red, and dark blue hussars. Then oomes the Guard Artillery with their beautiful rifled bronze field pieces. This regiment is pre ceded by a goat, a general favourite of the soldiers, and reminding one of a similar animal at the head of one of our English regiments—if I mistake not it was the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers. Then more infantry of the Guard, cavalry and artillery, each regiment followed by the Meanditres in a sort of regimental uniform, the doctors and military sur geons, &c. The King was mounted on a beautiful black Arabian, and was looking remarkably well and in excellent spirits, as was also the drown Prince. Amidst the hest of general officers on the ground, Irecognised General von Moltke, the head of the staff; and the generals of division von Voigt ' Rbeets, von Melbe, von Boon (the Minister for War), and the Prince of Hohenzollern. The weather could not have been more favourable ; not a cloud obscured the rays of the sun, winch were tempered by a gentle zephyr.

The seams at this house being fairly opened, it may not be out of pleas to quota the promises given by the menage ment. Mina Helen Penni has been engaged for twelve representations, commencing Monday, Nov. 19, during which she will perform Imogen, Rosalind, Beatrice, Julia in the Hunchback, and Pauline in the Lady of Lyows.

Harrison, and there is some talk of ballad operas, in which Mr. Sims Beeves will appear. Atmastaaa. —A new nautical ballet luta been produced at this Thrifts of Varieties, called The Alhambra Blue Jaekde, which is an agreeable variation from the old oonventional ballet, and is remarkable for one of those realistic scenes which are now the fashion at all the theatres. Mr. Caleott has constructed and painted the deck of a man•of.war with the sea in the distanoe, and it is on the deck of this ship that the dunces, chiefly horn pipes, take place. The business of the scene is very life. like, and half ths young ladies, dressed as sailors, are se active as real tars in ascending and descending the rigging. Mr. Rivkin's band, now iaereased to AO, is ate of the greatest attractions of the Alhambra. RAILWAY AOcinniarr.—An accident of a Serious nature, but which fortunately involved little personal injury, occurred on Friday on the Torbay branch of the South Devon Railway. The Torquay Gas Company, whose works are situated midway between the Torquay and Prignton railway stations, have recently effected ex tensive alterations in their premises, and amongst other improvements have constructed a siding, branching off from the main line, for the purpose of receiving the coals consumed at their works, which come by rail from Dart mouth. Yesterday morning, when the 9.53 passenger train from Kingswear was off Frigate'', ono of the workmen, named Andrews, was at work at the points at the junction of the siding with the ordinal' , line. To facilitate the job about which he was engaged Andrews had closed the points, but on hearing the whistle of the train in the, distance he hastened to open them. A difficulty presented instill, however, that was not anticipated. A bar of iron connected with the mash; hail by some unaccountable means shifted from its proper place, and prevented the points from opening. Before he had time to remove the obstruction, the train had reached the signal post, not two 'hundred yards' distance from him. Perceiving 'het all was not right, the driver, Charles Marsh, thoughtfully and promptly reversed the engine and blew the break whistle. The speed of the train was thus considerably reduced, but there was still sufficient impetus to carry the train on to the siding, which from the fact of it not having been properly balasted, and that it had never rooeived so heavy • weight before, gave way, and the whole train was jolted off the line, a greaser pars of the off side of the engine being iried in the earth. At a distance of about a hundred yards from the abane of the accident, and at the end of the siding, there is a steep embankment, over which the tram—Lad it pared a few yards further on to the siding—must have been carried into the road beneath. The driver and stoker, William lierswell, anticipating such a catastrophe, held them selves in readiness to leap from the engine before reaching the brinkof the embankment. Fortunately the passengers, who were more numerous than usual , a large number of persons having conic overnight from the Channel Islands by the steamer Eclair, sustained no injuries except • severe jolting, and were conveyed from the scene of the accident bye train from Torquay. One of them jumped from the carriage in which lie was travelling . on finding that the train was off the line, and he was cut in the face. Singularly enough, he was ou his way to Totnes to see one of his cousins who had been very seriously injured by an accident on the line near Totnes, that morning. The damage to the plant in not extensive. The engine, the Meteor, was badly although not irreparably injured, but the carriages, four in number, and the luggage van escaped with little damage. The employes of the Torque* and Prignton stations, usisrd by a budy of men from Nowtm, were soon Nally engeged in removing the debris and. hoisting the engine, which appeared to be firmly imbedded in the soil. There being no engine below the ease of the occurrence the traffic from Torquay to Dartmouth was entirely suspended until the afternoon.— Western Morning Neer.
