Nothing of importance had taken place since the departure of the last mail. . . . . At Cameroon' trade wee brisk, but the high prices de manded by the natives checked trade. The health of the place was good, and the rainy season bad commenced. At Bonny trade was dull, in consequence of a disturbance and fight amongst some of the natives. The health of the river was good. The Earl of Derby, Star of the Sea,Grand Bourg, Ellen Grant, Mosquito, and Constance were in port. The barque Irene sailed on the 14th June. The Masonic arrived at Lagos on the 18th, and the Susan Bayley ou the lfitti. The Ciacel. of Liverpool, and the Josephine. of Lisbon. The Minstrel crossed the bar, on the 18th, outward. The Lagos (s.s.), outward bound, was also peened. The Geraldine, Undine, and Emmeline were at Accra, on the 21st June. On the 24th June the Athenian fell in with and towed the Spanish gunboat Santa Theresa into Sierra Leone on the 29th. The Lady Douglas arrived at Sierra Leone on the nth June ; the Canada, on the 22nd ; Macgregor Laird, 24th ; Fanny Hilbury, 2fith ; Henry Emmett, 27th ; and Accra and Curlew, 28th. The Canada sailed on the 29th. The mail steamer Mandingo arrived at Tenerife on tho 2nd inst. all well, and left again for leeward. LIBERTY AS IN FRANCE. —Some of the inhabi tants of Norse, in the department of the Lot-et-Garonne, recently applied to the prefect of that depart ment for permission to open a popular library. The official acceded to their request, but imposed certain conditions that are stated in a letter, of which the following is a translation :—" When it is desired to form an association for the purpose of establish ing a library the same course must be adopted as in the case of opening • club. You will consequently send me the rules in triplicate, and annex a list of the founders. The government makes it a condition that the president should be appointed and approved by the prefect. As so the members of the administrative committee of the library they should bo proposed by you or with your ap proval. It would be desirable that the mayor should be appointed honorary president. The catalogue of the books in circulation should comprise useful profes sional works belonging to healthy literature and calculated to moralise or instruct the working classes. Novels, the reading of which might leave a lamentable impression, should be eliminated with just :severity ; care should also be taken to exclude books of social or religious contro versy, and those which, under the pretext of political economy, might serve to propagatedangerous or subversive theories. The catalogues must be submitted to the autho rities every year for examination. As to the general meetings of subscribers I have no objections to make, and I leave the drawing up of the conditions to you." The Miele asks, after publishing these regulations, " Is not the liberty of popular libraries the pendant of the liberty of the press as it was conceived in Madrid in the days of Figaro PLYMOUTH, JULY 17.—An American ship that arrived at Falmouth to-day reports having spoken, on July 10, in latitude 47 north 31 west, the life raft for the preservation of shipwrecked crews, that left New York on May 13 for Southampton.

BERLIN, JULY 17. In a few days the first number of the official gazette of the North German Confederation will be published, and will contain the text of the constitution and the appointment of the Federal Chancellor. Up to the present no reply has been received by the Prussian government to the note it last addressed to Denmark on the subject of Northern Schleswig. The Prussian Rear-Admiral Jaclunann will be present at the naval review which is to be held to-day at Spit head. The rumours of an approaching change of the French and Prussian diplomatic representa tives at Berlin and Paris are semi-officially denied. THE " STANDARD " AND MR. titOLDWIN SMITH. (From the Daily Irma) THE view of Unionism which Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH presented in the letter which we published on Saturday cannot be said to be flattering ; but we believe that those who have watched the growth of the movement with most impartiality .iiid intelligence will be the first to recognise its truth. And if Unionism is but one expression of the passion of our age for equality, if it is the expedient by which men born to labour, and powerless in presence of an employer while they remain in individual isolation, seek the strength which enables them to treat with the capitalist as power with power—we may see at once how inapt aro the methods by which the movement has hitherto been encountered by those who, perceiving the perversions of which it is capable, the practical errors by which it has been accompanied, and the misery which its half•in formed applications have produced, but failing to apprehend its full social significance and its vital connexion with the most powerful sentiment of our age, have vainly supposed it was to be " put down " by violent denunciation and strong appeals to class prejudice. In his letter of Satur• day Mr.flotnvriN SMITH felt compelled to acknow ledge that while - v(6'May hope that Unionism, like all the great social movements of history, is pregnant with good for all classes, in its beginning it is formidable and perplexing. The movement has taken place.in a class imper fectly educated, and on that account it was sure to be attended with many aberrations and some crimes. " The aberrations," it was observed, " must be corrected by knowledge, and the " crimes must be punished by justice." It was noticed as unfortunate that the Sheffield crimi nals hold certificates of indemnity, and are at large, with their infamy upon their heads, " to " the disgrace of justice and the pollution of the " community." Unionism itself, however, must be taken in hand by statesmanship, which, instead of vainly hoping to put it down, should guide it, enlighten it, bring it within the pale and under the influence of law, reconcile it with the claims of justice and with them of the country at large. This is the language of calm wisdom ; but, as nobody needs informing, calm wisdom is not now the thing most in season. Nothing surprises us in these days, but, as an illustration of the extremes to which the spirit of class will lead men, we may mention that this wise and temperate letter, every sentence of which has its undertone of grief for the excesses into which certain unionists have been betrayed, has been deliberately misinterpreted to the public as an extenuation of unionist crime, and even as an apology for murder. The Standard of Tuesday last con tained a leading article by some literary Owosso, in which Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH was stated to have " consoled himself" in this letter "for his " ill luck in not being the first utterer of the apology " for BROADHEAD ;" to have " thrown a shield " over the crimes of BROADHEAD ;" to have con sidered " the Sheffield murderer only a little too " rough in his mode of promoting the sacred " cause ;" to be unable to bear to see BROAD HEAD "borne upon too hardly ;" and, lastly, to have taught that there ought to be " no swami " nation except for liberal purposes." We have done our duty when we have called public attention to this new style of British jour nalism, the specialiti of the party which long affected to dread the Americanisation of our institutions. The whole use and value of such an article as this consists in its utter falsehood. If Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH had written anything to the effect imputed, the assertions of the Standard would have been superfluous ; it would have sufficed to reproduce his words ; as it is, he is charged with palliating crime, because it is seen that he de plores it. This is moral assassination, at least in the intention of the perpetrator. The CROOKES of the Standard takes down his air gun, dis charges his bullet in the security of his ambush, and then rejoins his companions, to rub his hands with glee, and exult over the feat with the BROAD HEAD of the concern. If anything could add to the malignity of such a crime, it would be its evident motive. Mr. Gotnwirr SMITH is represented as being the sympathetic apologist of the Sheffield malefactors for two reasons ; the first, because he has expressed satisfaction at finding it abundantly proved that Professor BEEFILY, far from having sympathised with unionist crime, has steadfastly contended against it ; and, secondly, because he predicts that unionism will free itself from crime, and arise and survive to develop the nobler elements of its nature. SHAM ANTIQUITIES.—Yesterday, at the Bucks Petty Session., held at Slough, before Mr. C. P. Stuart and the Rev. H. H. Way, county magistrates, two men, who gave the names of Charles Eaton and George Henry Smith, were charged with a long series of frauds by the sale of sham antiquities, represented to have been dug up at Windsor. The men represented that they had been employed at some excavations for an addition to the Vie torts Brewery, at Windsor, and that while so engaged they came upon, and broke with their tools, an urn, containing weapons, coins, spoons, and other articles of Roman or Saxon workmanship. They produced specimens of these " antiquities " to tradesmen in Eton, Hatchet, Slough, Ashford, Feltham, Staines, &c.—in fact a pocketbook found upon one of the men showed that they had started from London on their speculation, and taken the several towns on the South Western Railway all the way up to Windsor. At Hatchet, for instance, they sold two articles for 7s. to Mr. Dickman, an innkeeper, who purchases curiosities for an antiquarian friend. A second lot was purchased at 55., and • thi r d a t 6a. Next morning Mr. Dickman went to Windsor, and discovered, upon inquiring for the remains of the urn, that he had been swindled. Mr. William Sharp, of the White Hart Hotel, at Slough, bought four articles, including • ring, • dagger, and a SA-shaped medallion, for se. Mr. Sharp happened to know Mr. Purcell, the Secretary of the Archeological So ciety, and on g i t t ilig up to town he called with his purchase at Burlington- ens. Mr. Purcell could not reconcile the date with t e characters upon the supposed antiquarian relies, and Mr. Sharp left them for expert investigation. The men sold a sham coin for half-a-crown to • youth named Wyborn, the son of a chemist at Eton. Mr. Wy born took the coin to the Rev. J. Rawlins, an antiquary at Windsor, and the reverend gentleman at once pro nounced it • forgery. Mr. Rawlins then ascertained that a considerable quantity of these " antiquities " had been disposed of at Windsor, and as he suspected that an attempt would be made to dupe the Eton boys, he gave information to the police. The gang swindled $ broker named Knott, at Windsor, out of es.and Mr. Drake Lewis, of Eton, out ads. ; but at Mr. Lewis'sL the two men who were the ringleaders of the gang were ap prehended by Police-ceastable Crichton, of the Bucks Con stabulary, and they at once returned Mr. Lewis his money. The policeman conveyed his prisoners to the county police station at Slough. A large parosl of the " antiquities" was produced in court. On breaking speci mens, it was found that they were all modern cast brass, covered with • green oxidation to give them an antique appearance. Mr. Dunham, the sergeant of the Bucks Con stabulary, informed the magistrate that at least 20 cases, all precisely similar in the false representations made and the articles vended, could be proved against the prisoners in the district between Staines and Windsor. fhe ma gistrate committed the prisoner, for trial at the Ayles bury semis... The rest of the gang, and the mother and wife of oue of the men, precipitately left the oourt.

The chambers we are describing are I be so, . . . . . - to some of the old casual wards what Westminiter hall is to a fetid cellar in St. Giles's. Apart from sentiment and association, the moat refined and fastidious of our readers might take a bed at St. Marylebone without having their sense of fitness outraged in any one essential. There is no rough ing it, no dirt, no noise, and no contamination. The rooms are of considerable height, and have windows in the ceiling, which, opening at each side, are moved by a handle in the wall, which no one may touch but the superintendent, who is on active duty all night, and who is responsible for the discipline and condition of the wards. The place is brilliantly lit by gas until a cer tain hour, when lights are lowered and silence is enforced. The barrack beds slope down from the walls, and have lockers at their head for the clothes of such sleepers as are clean enough to need none of the forcible purification hinted at above. The sheets and beds are, however, " 'toyed " daily. The flooring under the beds is of red tiling, while an iron grating runs up the centre of the room, up 'Ouch hot air will come when the thermometer de clares artificial warmth desirable. A drinking foun tain will be placed at one end so as to face a well-lit ante-room at the other. Sacred texts are to be painted at the aides, and paid Scripture-readers come each night after the casuals are in bed and expound a portion of Holy Writ. The whole pro ceedings seem based upon the model afforded by the rules of the best refuges, but are more strictly and systematically carried out than at any refuge we have seen. The clean comfort of a hospital, with the stern discipline of a barrack, is the combination which conveys moat accurately the impression these new wards produce. Nothing can exceed their cleanliness and comfort, and the honseless wanderers who choose St. Maryleboue as a resting place have better and more considerate treatment than many a respectable school lad for whose lodging high sums are paid. So far, it would almost seem that St. Marylebone was foster ing pauperism, a sin of which many excellent per sons are grievously afraid ; but further inquiry shows us that the strictness of the labour test, and, the uniformity with which the recalcitrant are brought before the Marylebone magistrates and summarily punished, suffice to keep the num bers down. Talking in the ward after silence has been proclaimed by the super intendent is " disorderly conduct," and ib treated as such. A few days ago some able-bodied paupers lingered lazily over their morning's task work in the hope of being discharged as incorrigible —an offence for which they had a smart sentence of imprisonment with hard labour from the sitting magistrate. Small handbills, such as we see at railway stations respecting fraudulent passengers, stand prominently out in the ante-rooms, and warn Manners of the penalty attached to disobedience. Above all, the casuals are never left to themselves. The officer in charge of the males, and the female warder to whom the women are entrusted, keep in their several ward, all night, and receive comfortable salaries for this duty alone. Their places depend upon their preventing impropriety, and oaths, bad language, or even goasipping among the casuals would inevitably lead to dismissal. The object of this atrictnem— which reminds one of a model prison—is to make the place distasteful to all but the weary worn-out wanderer, to whom rest and shelter are all in all, and who but for the workhouse would be lying in the streets. The result has been an actual change in the quality of those applying. The certainty of labour, and the chance of punishment, are too much for the sturdy ne'er-do-weel, who accordingly extends his favours to workhouses where there is greater freedom and lesscomfort. On the other hand, the really unfortunate men and women who are in se...eh of work are glad enough to submit to regu lations which ensure them refreshing rest and food. The season of the year and the short time which these new wards have been open make it dangerous to generalise from statistics, but it seems probable that when winter comes round the course adopted will have a strikingly favourable effect upon the returns. The great problem of London destitution has been to succour the needy and distressed, while deterring the lazy and the vicious, and St. Marylebone is now attempting its solution with a heartiness and intelligence which are in themselves earnests of success.

In the event of the Sultan not being able Ito visit Manchester the address is to be presented by mdeapyuotar,tion: alderm an, ■ nd citizens e, 11aayit please the " c ur i ty of Majesty rk —We, c t t e he n lin the county palatine of Lancaster, hail with feelings a g reat satisfaction the presence of your Imperial Majesty in this country, and approach your Imperial Majesty for the purpose of offering our sincere congratulations upon the loccasion of the Trait of your Imperial Majesty to our be loved sovereign Queen Victoria. We regard the auspicious visit of your Imperial Majesty with interest, not only as affording concluaiveand satisfactory evidence of the sincerity of the alliance which MIS happily long existed between this country and Turkey, but also as an event of great interest and importance in the history of nations. As the muni cipal representatives of the capital of the manufacturing districts we venture to assure your Imperial Majesty that we have witnessed with gratitude the liberal and en lightened policy which has been adopted by your Imperial Majesty in relation especially to the growth said culti vation of cotton, by which your Imperial Majesty has wisely sought to secure that the vast capabilities of gm country under your Imperial Majesty's rule should he made available to the largest extent for the production of a staple so important to the manufacturing industry of this country. We pray that the alliance between Turkey and Eng land may long continue, that the same may be further strengthened by the extension of commercial relations, and that the personal intercourse now taking place between your Imperial Majesty and the rulers of other peoples may tend to perpetuate the peace of Europe, and to promote the pro gress and prosperity of all nations. Given under our com mon seal at Manchester this 17th day of July, 1867." The Mayor announced that, in anticipation of the Sultan's visit to Manchester, the Assize Courts Committee had placed the judges' lodgings and such portions of the Assize Courts as might be required at the disposal of the corporation for the accommodation of his Majesty. A similar address was voted to the Viceroy of Egypt, and entrusted to a deputation for presentation. ROYAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL. Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of the governors and friends of this institution was held at the hospital, King William-street, Charing-cross, the Marquis of Westminster occupying the chair. Mr. George G. Far rent, the secretary, read the report of the committee of management, which stated that since the foundation of this hospital in 1816, to the Ist of January, 1867, 189,409 poor persons had availed themselves of Its benefits. Of these, 3,359 had been operated upon for the removal o' cataract, and for the formation of an artificial pupil ; and the sight had been restored, as well as th e per sonal appearance improved, of 11,370 persons . by the operation for the removal of squinting. During the past year 8,220 new cases were treated, the number of operations performed on in-patients having been 262, and on out-patients 743. The expense of supporting the hospital for the year was 1,20 2 1. Bs. 24d.. and the receipts left a deficiency of 1401. 9s. 7d. The expenses had increased owing to the high prise of provisions, but by gross care and rigid economy the committee had been enabled to keep 32 beds continually occupied. The committee, upon the report of the surgeons as to its necessity, had commenced cleaning, painting, and repairing the hospital, which had been deferred for several years past solely for the want of funds. Extensive alterations for enlarging the building were also being carried out for the better accommodation of the in and out-patients. A more commodious die pensary had been fitted up, a new waiting-room for the out-patients made, and a darkened room for the use of the ophthalmoscope, an instrument which is now indispensable as an adjunct to the study and treatment of diseases of the eye. To meet the cost and expenses of these repairs and alterations, rendered necessary by the large and increasing number of patients, averaging 1,200 per week, the committee earnestly solicit the aid of the affluent and wealthy, and make a special appeal to the commercial and manufacturing firms of the 11 est-end, and the large employers of labour in the western suburbs, whose workshops and works furnish daily a great number of patients. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY WORK•4.—Yesterday Dr. Lankester held an inquest at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, relative to the death of Mary Kahangany,. aged 40, who fell down a cutting at the St. Pancras portion of the Midland Railway works, owing, as alleged, to improper light and insufficient pro tection. Mr. H. North attended on the part of Messrs. Waring Brothers, the contractors for the St. Pancras portion of the line. Johannah Ithech, of 13, Chenies street, Tottenham-court-road, identified the deceased as her sister, who was a very sober woman. She left her home at 7 o'clock on Saturday night last. Owing to her giving a wrong name at the hospital, witness did not hear of her death till yesterday. Police-constable Hogsden said that at a quarter to one o'clock on Sunday morning last he heard that a woman was being pulled out of the cutting in the St. Pancras-road, into which she bad fallen. He saw the woman brought to the surface of the hole. She was afterwards taken to the hospital. The lights were insufficient,and the protection to the public very imperfect. The coroner remarked that there had been many accidents lon those works; they had been very unfortunate. Mr. Richard Hewetaon, house surgeon at the hospital, deposed to deceased being admitted at a quarter to 2 in the morn ing of Sunday last. There was a wound on the left side ' of her head half an inch long. The skull was fractured from the front of the heads!! round the skull. She died on the following morning from the fracture and laceration of the brain. John M'Hutchins said he was employed on the Midland Railway works in the St. Pancras-road on 1 Saturday night last, and was about 18 yards from where the woman fell into the cutting, which was protected by bricks in piles and barricades. The cutting was about 1.2 feet deep, and was 13 yards from the pavement. Several of the jury knew the place well, and said it was in a most unprotected state, and highly dangerous. They returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and appended an expres sion of opinion that the cutting into which the deceased fell was left exposed in a dangerous and negligent manner, and called the attention of the vestry of St. Pancras and the contractors, Messrs. Waring, to the necessity of im mediately providing barriers to prevent the access of the public to the said cutting. Tut: REPRESENTATION OF WEST GLOUCESTER SHISE.—There are now two candidates in the field for the representation of West Gloucestershire. viz., the Hon. Charles Berkeley (liberal), second son of Earl Fitzhardinge, and Colonel Somerset (conservative), a cousin of the Duke of Beaufort. The contest will, it is expected, be a severe One.

Payne, the depub , eoroner, at an inquest held at the St. Magnus Vestry -ha, London-bridge, last night, re specting the death of Mary Ann e H ea th, aged 45 years. Anne Tittinsor No. 9, Swan-lane City, said that on last Saturday night, at 9 o'clock, she saw the deceased " run king "towards the first recess on the right hand of the City side of London-bridge. She then leaped over the parapet into the river. A man and a bey were stand ing near, and witness maid to the nun, " What's that T' and he replied, You may look if you like ; it's a woman." and he walked on. Captain Martin, muter of the Azalea steamer, said that on the night in question he heard a cry of "A woman overboard," and he ran to the stern of the steamer with a boat-hook, and got the deceased out of the water, and took her to the Swan pier. Polioe-constable Benlon, 616 City hue, said that when the deceased was lying on the pier, she exclaimed, " Oh, don't expose me, I am Mrs. Heath, of No. 1, Boundary row, Blackfriars." She then suddenly died. Mr. William Clayton, F.R.0.5., proved that the cause of death was inunanion in the water. Was. Kati„ an iron -worker, living at 1, Boundary-row, said that the deceased was his wife. She was in the habit of working at a Mr. Cork's, a collar manfacturer, in Ifiltoninceet, Crippleute, for Ufa. a week. On Saturday evening, at 6 o'clock, she returned h ome , an d said, " I have been discharged. I have done enough to get myself transported. I hue mode a niadalse sad brought &way • bundle of Mr. Cork's work instead of my own children's clothing." Wiillllol mid, " A good job too. We want you to stay at home to mind the children." They had six of them. lio own her back to the City in an omnibus with the work. Franca Heath, a daughter aged /9, said that her mother took the work to a public-house in the City, and left it there for Mr. Cork. She said, "Oh, my God, what shall Ido about it. My being discharged to-night makes it look so awkward." She had been discharged for not dressing some work properly. Mr. Cork intended to have sent for her on the following Monday morning. g She asked the public house people to remember the num ber of t►e omnibus by which she had returned to the City. She was a very sober woman and there was no other cause for her excitement besides the mistake about the bundle of work. -. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a ver dict, " That the deceased destroyed her own life by leap. ng from London-bridge, whilst in a state of temporary Tel BuvrAN's VISIT To THE ClTY.—This even ing the reception of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan by the Corporation of Imndon is appointed to take place at Guildhall.

CONNOLLY.—A special meeting of the delegates representing the London Trades Societies at the late conference at St. Martin's-hall was held last evening at the Sussex-hall, Bouverientreet, Fleet-street, for the purpose of taking' into consideration the course to be pursued by the trades towards the com a mission consequent upon the exclusion of the trades' repre sentative, Mr. Connolly, from the sittings of the 0011111ljg *ion, for having made certain remarks upon the public conduct of Mr. Roebuck, M.P., one of the comniissioncrs. Mr. George Potter occupied the chair. Mr. Packer (turner) moved the following resolution :--•• That in the opinion of this meeting of delegates of the London tree* reprenoted at the pate fit Martin'eamtgomferepse, the exclaims el their rtammaatattve, the Trades Union Commissioners from their sittings, en account of remarks made by him at a public meeting, on the public character of Mr. Roebuck, one of the members for Sheffield, is an act of tyranny calling for their strongest coutiemaatioe." Mr. Pariah (brushmaker) seconded the resolution, which hav ing been supported by several other delegates, was carried unanimously. Mr. Wilson (shipwright) said ho had been asked to move the following resolution:—"That the trades represented at the St. Martin's-hall confer% nee are of opinion that all intercourse between the trades and the Trades Union Conaulasion should cease until the resolution excluding Mr. Connolly, their representative, be re scinded." lie thought the resolution was one of too much importance to be adopted without taking the opinion of the provincial trades. He would therefore suggest that it should be taken as a notice of motion to be discussed at an adjourned meeting, and that in the meantime it be printed in a circular and sent to every trade represented at the conference, with a request that they either send a delegate to the meeting or communicate their opinion by letter. After some discussion the above suggestion was adopted, and the meeting adjourned accordingly. THE PEOPOSED Bottouon or CllZlNF.A.—Yester day evening, the first public meeting in connexion with the representation of the proposed borough of Chelsea was held in the Assembly-rooms, in the Fulham-road ; Mr. W. Cattle presiding. Sir Henry A. Hoare, Bart., one of the candidates, attended and delivered a long speech. He said he was a firm supporter of all those liberal measures which had been proposed during the last 20 or 30 years. all founded on the love of equality, which he believed to be • noble ambition. For himself he might say that he was not • reformer in the French sense, which sometimes meant revolution, for at all events in England we all had equality as far as the law was concerned, with some ex ceptions, however. In la 2 the Reform Bill brought into the exercise of the franchiac the middle classes of the com munity, but it left out the working classes, who were now to be provided for. He had the most perfect confidence in the people of England, and in Mr. Gladstone as their leader. He did not like to be called a radical ;be thought radi calism meant the uprooting of nU that was good in the con stitution, but he preferred to be placed in the rank, of the advanced liberals, who were really the soundest reformers. lie believed that Mr. Uladstone's bill was the most sincere and honest measure that was ever presented to parliament, because it said what it meant, and meant what it said ; but the bill now before parliament would require much revision before it would satisfy the wants of the people. The hon. baronet declared that he was in favour of the ballot, compulsory education, the equalisation of poor rates, awl the reform of municipal institutions. A re solution to the effect that Sir H. Hoare ought to be sup ported was eventually carried. Who is to be the second popular candidate for the proposed new constituency does not yet seem to have been definitely settled, although two or three influential gentlemen are said to be aspirants foe the honour. PRF.sERVATION or EPPING FORLST.—A public meeting, baring for its object the extension of the move. meet for the preservation of Epping Forest, was held on Saturday last at Chingford-green. Mr. G. S. Lefevre, M.P., and Mr. Lawrence attended on behalf of tbo ('om. nines Preservation Society, Parliament-street, and Mr. Duf field, of Mile-end, Mr. Delano, Tottenham, and Mr. Smith, of Buckbunt-hill, from the East London local coninattee of the same. Mr. Leferre, hiP, was called to the chair, and in the course of the meeting numerous instances were stated by gentlemen resident on the forest, and by the forest offm..rs, of the total disregard of public rights, and contempt for private interests, which were exhibited in many of the recent enclosures of the forest lands by private persons. Resolutions were peseta strongly condemning the enclosures which had taken plate, and expressing the determination of those present to aid the Commons Preservation Society in their resist ance of all future enclosures of the forest lands, and a local committee was formed to co-operate with the East London committee in their resistance to the said enclo sures. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the proceedings of a most satisfactory meeting, which promises to be followed by the best practical resells to the cause of forest preservation. Two MEN BURIED ALIVE NEAR BOLTON. —A shocking accident occurred at 1 o'clock on Tuesday morn ing, at Blackrod, near Bolton, by which two men, named Thomas Darbishire and William Lee. lost their lives. The deceased were employed at the brickyard of Messrs. Smethurst and Co., coal proprietors, and it seems had erected • cabin on the ground in which to sleep. The roof was constructed of sods, covered with a thick layer of earth, of between two and three tons weight ; and at Tuesday night, owing to the heavy rains, the material be came loosened and fell in upon the unfortunate meu while they were asleep. Another men, named Ralph Peters, was in the cabin at the time, and escaped uninjured, but he was unable to render assistance, and the deceased, when extricated, were found to be quite deed, having been literally buried alive. Darbishire was married, end leaves et widow and five children. Lee was single, and aged 20. Both men were from Wigan. 0144.
