SOUTHWARK. FTLACAi AT A H %UM %I' HTATTON. Th Iwo' Burr ~,-s, a respoctable-looking man, described as . au rchant. was plac.al at the bar before Mr. Burcham, ,r4vd with being drunk at the South London Railway :owns. Lon.lon-bridge, creating a disturbance, ssault ui of the officers, and refusing to leave when re iu,sted. Wakefield. a constable in the employ of the London, I:righton, soil South Coma Railway, said that ..bout lu minutes to 7 on the previous evening he was on duty at the gate leading to the South London Railway p!rtbdui. when lie saw the prisoner coming through the hooking tittles, pushing persons about in rather is rough manner. Ito came to the gate where witness stood, and endeavoured to force his way without showing his ticket, Witness stopped him and told him he could not pass, when witness saw that he was in to‘icated, and then be refused to allow bum to tr.,v,.1 in that state. The prisoner then became very nt, and struck him deliberately on the breast, nearly knocking 1 • loam. His conduct then became so bad that he was compelled to seek assistance to remove him from the station. He would then have allowed him to go had he not assaulted hiui again. He was compelled to give him into custody. tine of the ticket collectors mid that he was examining the tickets at the tiouth London side when he saw the pri• amer strike the complainant on the breast. His conduct was 5e uproarious that they bad some difficulty in remov ing him. s he pri,oner here said that he bad been dining with some friends in the Uity and had unfortunately drunk too much, but he thought that an they took his money at the booking-office they ought to have allowed him to travel. Tb. constable informed his worship that the defendant had a return ticket, consequently had no occasion to attend the booking-oflice, the clerks of which had strict orders not to issue tickets to anyone under the influence of 'bluer. Tl.e defendant said that he forgot all about that. How ear uc was very sorry fur what he had done, and regretted t,ry much having struck the company's officer. Mr. Burch:n told him his conduct was very disgraceful, and mulct' all the circumstances he mast pay a penalty of 74. and the costs. The money was immediately paid. THA3IO3. IMPORTANT Tu culthrMeßß of COAL. J , • carman, aged 47, was brought up on re nand before Mr. Partridge. charged with stealing three sacks and lslbs. weight of coals, the property of Mr. John Phr.le, coal merchant, of No. St. John's-road, Clerkentrell. The prisoner was for Some time in the service of Mr. Ceorge 'mkt, horse and cart contractor, of No. 19, Suffolk street, King's-cross, who was in the practice of deliveri ng coals to Mr. Plume's customers. A few days since the prisoner rewi veil two tons of coals at t he Great Northern Rad w.te station to be delivered to 31essra.Yearsley and Spooner, in hock-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner stopped his LOn . and waggon opposite the Red Lion public-house at the corner of Leman-strs.‘et and High-street, Vi bite chapel, took a lump of coal weighing 18Ibs. out of one of the sacks and gave it to a woman. Hudson, a police-constabl e , No. 'S 11, who saw the robbery com mitted, pursued the woman, who ran into the public house by one doorway, made her escape by another, and left the coal behind one of the doors. The prisoner was taken to the station.house. On Hudson's return to the wagon and horses he found three empty sacks on the top of the fill ones, of which there were only 17. The pri soner had .fu full sacks at the railway station. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, on the part of the prisoner, sd.l there was no proof that the three sacks of coals were stolen before th e prisoner's apprehension. The horses and waggon were left in the care of a young man, and caf..l bays Imes removed in the absence of the prisoner. Mr. P.lrtridge said there way no doubt the prisoner had bluitU the lump of coal produced. Mr. eleirles Young could not resist a conviction upon th...t. Tie prisoner, who would plead guilty, had given a Itent, of coal to a poor woman, and would admit he had in right to do so. The prisoner was a man of good ctaraett r. :aid re,:rette,l what he had done. M r. Tilley compl . .ined th;:t waggoner,' were in the practice of stealing coals in transit, by which coal merchants and cotartetois fell into undeserved odium. He gave the 111,..tter tart' goal wages. IHodson ,tel the prisoner was intrusted with two tons of ‘.....1. t o d e li ver to M r. t hiley in Church-street, Shore ditch. on the 111th of but month, and there was a de / ficiency of oi cwt. 2 qtr. and 17 Mr. Partridge—More than three sacks deficient out of twenty, and li. , re is another ease of a similar description.

COLLIsIoN 4)N THE METIZuPOLITAN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) This morning an accident took place at the Farrington-road station of the Metropolitan Railway, which oecadoued considerable alarm among the passengers of the tt.till due front Kensington at and a local train immediately following. It seems that the train from Kensington had stopped at the station for the pur pose of setting down passengers. While it was in that position a local train (iota King's-cross was nearing the junction. The fog was very thick at the time, and the driver of the last train was unable to distinguish the arm signal of the narrow gauge line which indicated danger. The cons, pieuce was that the " local " ran into the train stooling at the station, Hull many of the passengers were notch shaken, and the engine of the last train greatly in. jurml. Two gentlemen named respectively Barrage and Steel received severe cuts about the head and face ; but they were enabled to be removed to their homes after hav ing received medical assistance. The collision did not cause much delay, and the traffic between Paddington and Meorgateatrect was carried on as usual. The driver and fireman of the local train escaped unhurt. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO AN EXPRESS C.IIZLISLE, EMMY EVENING. This (Friday) afternoon, a serious accident occurred between Cal thwaite and Sonthwaite to the quick train tine in Carlisle from the south at 1.55 p.m., result ing in injury to several passengers. It appears that when the trait reached a point between the two stations re ferred to the axle of one of the carriages broke, the iron having doubtle , s been rendered brittle by the frost. The carriage was broken to pieces, anti the carriages behind it, consisting of two composites, a third class, two more com posites and van, were thrown olf the metals, and three of them completely overturned on the other line of rails, and smashed. The guard, who was riding in the van, was unable to communicate with the driver before he was overturned, stunned, and seriously injured. Fortu nately, however, the driver was apprised by the bump ing of the train that something had happened, and on turning round and finding that there were only two carriages now attached to the train, be shut off the steam, put on the breaks as quickly as possible, and sue ceeded in bringing the train to a stand about fifty yards from where the catastrophe occurred. The passengers were naturally in a state of great alarm, and sonic of them had miraculous escapes from dangerous injuries. The passengers who were in the carriages which were overturned were extricated from their perilous positions without delay, and all having been placed in the two carriages which remained on the line were con veyed to Carlisle. The passengers who had received injuries, or who were shaken, went into the County Hotel. Among the passengers injured or shaken were :—The Rev. J. T. Potts, Swedenborgian minister at Glosgow,who, with his wife and two young children, was travelling in the third class carriage of which the axle broke,and their escape with comparatively slight injuries is exceedingly wonderful, the carriage having been smashed to splinters ; Mr. Patey and Madame Patey-Whytock, who were on their way from Manchester to fulfil an engagement at Edinburgh to morrow night ; Mr. Ladynian, of London, who was on his way to visit his brother near Windermere, and who will probably continue his journey to-morrow; Mr. Ilarchant, wool-stapler, Hawick ; Mr. Hartley, Myrtle-street, Glasgow; Mr. Thompson, Kirkcud bright ; Mr. Hart, of Lord's Chambers, Manchester, agent for Messrs. Banks and Co., Keswick; Mr. James Piggott, Glasgow ; Mr. Robert Fellows, of Cant Bridge ; and Mrs. Met calf, of Marypor t, wife of Captain Metcalf, who was on her way to Blwyport, from Liverpool, accompanied by her servant. Many of these will be able to resume their journey to-night ; and all of them, it is expected, will be able to leave the County Hotel to-morrow. PAINFUL AFFAIR IN TIIR HACKNEY-ROAD. An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, Mid dlesex coroner, last night, at the King's Arms, Ann's place, Hackney-road, respecting the death of the illegiti mate male child of Alice Christmas, a young woman 20 years of age. Caroline Christmas, a nepeetable-looking young woman, said that she was 21 years old, and lived with her sister at her father's house in Ann's-place. They were gold beaters. On last Friday night .Vice complained of being ill and she was treated by witness and her father for a cold. No suspicion was entertained that anything was wrong. At 2 o'clock in the morning witness was awoke by her sister's groans, and was asked by her to sec what had hap pened. Witness found a child in the bed and said, " Oh, Alice ! it is a baby !" Witness was going to tell her father when Alice clung to her and implored her for Heaven's sake not to tell him at least so soon. Witness did not know what t o d o , for she had no mother to whom she could speak. She walked about the room distracted, and nearly went mad. She two or three times said that she was doing wrong in not telling her father, but Alice begged and prayed of her not to do so, and clung to her to prevent her. At last, at S in themorning, witness said Abe could stand it no longer, and she went to her father and told what had happened: A doctor was sent for ; the child was then found to be dead. The Coroner asked the witness if the child was alive when she saw it at first. The witness said that she thought it was then dead. When pressed upon the point she said that she had told the doctor that she had heard it breathing ; but she was not sure that it was the child that made tke noise ; it might have been the cat. The Coroner said that the cat was made responsible for a great many things in lodging-houses, but he had never beard of its being charged in a case of this kind before. The witness said that the at was in the room, and that she had hunted it off the bed before she went to sleep that night. She was positive that she did not hear the child cry. Her sister had never let her know anything about her condition, and witness never imagined that anything of the kind was to be expected. No preparation of any kind had been made for the child by her sister. Witness knew that her sister had a young man, but she thought that everything was quite proper. Mr. Talbot Kuig, surgeon, said that he was sent for to see the deceased child and its mother on Saturday morning last. The child was in the bed with the young woman, and was quite dead. He had made a post-mortemlexami nation since, and found that it was a fully developed male child, and that it had beau born alive, and had breathed. Death had resulted from suffocation, and from want of pro per attention at birth. There were no marks of violence on the body. The Coroner, in summing up, left it to the jury to say whether the neglect which resulted in the child 'a death had been wilful, or bad arisen through inexperience and the natural reluctance of the mother to permit her sister to make known her elingrace. The jury, after deliberating, stated that they did not believe that the neglect had been wilful, or that it was designed to produce the death of the child, and they re turned a verdict " That the deceased child died from suffocation, caused by want of proper attendance at birth." THE WEATH en. —(Tu Is DAY. )—The thermometer last night indicated '2O deg. below freezing. To-day there has been much fog, with a moderate breeze blowing in an easterly direction ; and, with the glass at freezing point, at 1 o'clock there was every appearance of a thaw setting in. There has been no resumption of omni bus traffic ; and the prices asked for vegetables this morn ing at Coveut.garden showed the severity of the frost as experienced by the market gardeners. During last year 351 1 inches of rain fell on Shir ley-common, Hampshire. The traffic on the Metropolitan Railway continues on a most extraordinary scale, and the facilities by the South Eastern line front Cannon-street to Charing-cross have been invaluable. FATHER Nr.WMAN AND THE PROPOSED ORATORY AT OX FORD. —Dr. Ullathorne, the Roman catholic bishop of Birmingham, writes to toe Westminster Gazette :—" It is quite true that Dr. Newman has purchased a piece of land at Oxford, but it is not true that be ever de cided on going there, or on doing anything there, al though he was not without hope that by some means the scheme of building a church there might be brought about. It is still less true that Dr. Newman has ever intended to leave the Birmingham Oratory with the view of taking up his own residence at Oxford. But it is true that Dr. Newman, encouraged by me, has had under deliberation the question of establishing a church and oratory at Oxford in connexion with the Birmingham oratory. As the plan, however, if carried out, involved amongst its elements one special privilege, the granting which was not within the power of the ordinary, but required a petition to the Holy See : believing in the reasonableness of the petition, I undertook to present it to the Holy See ; and thus it has happened that whatever correspondence there has been with Rome on the subject has passed through the hands of the present writer and not of Dr. Newman. The privi lege petitioned for was granted. And Dr. Newman has not only received no intimation of such an opinion, as asserted in your thin fie, from any Roman prelate, but is still, with the sanction of his undertaking implied in his petition being granted, in course of deliberation on the question. I have already mentioned as to whether he will ' establish a church and oratory at Oxford, or leave the work . of building a church to others." 100 In 14. 100 I* 10 10a all 1G ' all 11l 1100 11160001 60 10,0001 50 40,000,100 140,000 20 40,000 50 10,000 40 11,300 f 10 10,0001 40 1;5001 10 1%500; 10 10,000 16 15,0001 20 10,000 100 WON, 60 60,000 10 120,000 60 10,000 10 40,000 10 10,000 26 50,000 20 10,000'100 50,000 10 60,000 10 10,000 60 10,000 60 10,000 13 80,0001 30 10,0001 20 20,000; 60 10,000,100 202 0 ,600 26 1 10 000. 0,0001 15 100,000 20 6000000100 10,000 60 11,000 100 12,000 20 1 6,000 1001 20,000 26 4000 26 10,000 10 67,500 60 stool ao maxi so 10,000 100 15 , 50 - 60 60,000 100 10,000 100 6,000 100 60,000 j 60 17,166 100 2,000 100 16,0001 6 20,000 100 10.000 100 ocoool to otoool 60 60,000 10 K 000! to 00,000 27,110 1 6 16 0 26,000,100 10,0001 10 60 ,000 20 10,000 26 17,061 100 10,000100 60,000, 26 10.000 100 *MI /I/ 4 all G.

EXPLOSION OF A KITCHEN BOlLER.—Yesterday an inquest was held at Preston on the body of a woman named Jane Shaw. The deceased lived in Back Sidney street, and on the previous day she went to clean the cellar kitchen of an unoccupied house in Stanley-place. She set a fire in the grate, and some time afterwards the kitchen boiler exploded with a loud noise. She was badly scalded, and had one of her legs broken. A police officer and others conveyed her to the House of Recovery, where she died in a few hours. The boiler which exploded was constructed on the self-feeding principle, and it is sup posed that the pipes had got closed up through the frost. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.
