COMIIIINTIAL TRAVELLERS SCHOOLS. Yesterday the annual festival in favour of the flammercial Travellers' Schools, the object of which is the &thing, amintesemee, sad education of the destitute impliansof deceased and the children of nesemitoras wanner mid travellers, was held at the Leedom Tavern ; the LORD Xnros is the chair, supportied by Sheriffs Oiliboue arid Usder-Sheriffelloolfitt sod Bertha, Sir Moses Illatedue, Alderman Gabriel, Rev. Daniel Moors, Maus. Mabee, Greater-ex, Holt, Staehdale, W. W. Fester, W. W. D a Asters, Tero,__B. W. Hearne, Ridley, ItsCallock, Ramat, %iota, C. Wooloton, and about L3O other sup porters of lac lamination. the umanutut, is pries the first toast, said that when be was a oocarometal treadles, 40 years_ego, it was the role of the road that the " oldest man in" was the president etas day, end his first duty was to the health of the Sovereign. Following t hat ent, he, as the oldest =se in" on this . 00lision, would give the " Health other Mar ty th e Q€lllolll. The " Health of the Prince of Wales , as gazes of the isetitutios, the " Princess of Wales," the " Duke at Cambridge," via patron, and the "Army, Navy, and Volunteers," acknowledged by Mr. Wilford Greatorem followed. At this point the children of the schools, in number 112, pawed through the room, and sang two part songs, " Heart of Oak," and " Come fairies trip it on the grass." The Cordotinfr„ in proposing " Prosperity to the Insti tution," said that he roes with some emotion to propose the next toast, but he was sure that the company would receive that toast with she cordiality and einthaiasm to which it was entitled. No one could have contemplated the teachine some which they had beheld in that group of happy. healthy, well.trathed children without feeling a deep inters it in their fortunes, and proud regard for their welfare and the prosperity of the institution. One of the most elegant of Fagieb poets had said that "Childhood shows the man as morning shows the day." Use, then he congratulated the govern.= of that noble charity on the sight which kind been brought before them. It was his duty, and he coosidered is a great honour to be allowed on this maiden to plead a cause which in an Laglish ssoiety needed little eloquence—that of charity. Not a charity which degenerated, but one which elevated, the mail, moral, intellectual , and religions condition of its recipients. The history of the institution might be simply told. Jo 1845, short twenty years ago, it was establishe d sad ha was proud to say that in that time it had received 505 children, 535 of whom had loft, and, by God's blessing, lie majority had bees prosperously plead in the world, lied at that menial the number in the schools was 170. My who had left the schools wore now weasore an and subscribers. Well, they had • noble imaitution, thirty eras of land, • handsome balance at their bankers, and notwithstanding all this, the commer cial body which be now represented bad yet more to do. They hod undertaken a responsibility, sad they must be prepared to carry it out. They must make out of small numbers large numbers, and out of a small school a large ens, and if they were short of mosey, that was the place to come to for it. (Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") He knew many men in that great city who had an aversion to public dinners, sod those of them who in early life had the temerity to plunge into public affairs found out when too late that they must oome to that place and plead the glo rious cause of charity, and advocate the noble institutions which were the glory of our country. He would ask if there was snyooe present who had added his mite to the subscriptions end whammed the glorious some of the day, whether be would not leave happier and more satis fied that he had discharged a great and holy obligation! He wee proud to recollect his early eixteerion with the commercial travellers, and he was proud that day to plead the cause of that charity. Be was delighted to find that gradually the commercial travellers were becoming its m ain and staple support, and be hoped he was stating the opinion of the commercial body at large, that es far as they were concerned the institution wee destined to flourish. Without troubling the company with a long speech it was his purpose to invite them to support this institution. It must be remembered that they had undertaken a special obligation, lad they were bound to fulfil it. He knew many that VON devoted to that object, and would wry it out. He might Le permitted to ay it wee • godlike object and it most be • *puree of happiness and congratu. lesion to all who felt that they were assisting to train children for the limonite of • happy and honourable life • relieving the naiads of the widow and the fatherless, and doing their duty as citizees. Be said emphatically, let lice who had given before give again, and he who had not given give twice. (Cheers.) The health of " The Lord Mayor, the chairman," was proposed by Mr. C. WoOLLOTON. who took *mules to bear testimony to the readiness of the members of the Hebrew persuasion to contribute to the cause of charity, and alluded in particular to the presence of Sir Moses Monte lore on the present occasion. The tout was acknowledged by both gentlemen. The touts of the Corporation and Sheriffs of London 126 ired. The Rev. Dag= Moose proposed "The President, Tier President; Treasurer, and Trustees of the Institu ties," and especially and feeling alluded to the absenos through ill health of Mr. George Moore, the treasurer, who always took no active and energetic and earnest a part is the preceedings of the festivals of the institutioa. Mr. J. HUGHES, partner of Mr. Moore, acknowledged the least, and said that moat of those present would be much splayed to see him rise to answer for his worthy partoer, Yr. Moore, and for his good deeds. It was true, as had been said of him, that he was amongst the first and most energetic movers for the institution. No one had worked Larder for it, and nothing except his immediate family was soarer to his heart than the Commerc ial Traveller s School'. Kr. Moore was prevented by ill-health from being present, sad had deputed him to have the high gratification of, his name, acknowledging the kindness with which his same had been received, and to say on his behalf that to the latest hour of his life be would give his earnest support to this and kindred institutions. Mr. Hughes proceeded to say that the income of the institution for the year ending 30th September, 1865, was 8,6771., while the expenditure bad been so careful, without sacrificing efficiency, that though 17 more children had been received into the school ranee last year yet only 50/. more had been spent. He urged that if proper means and opportanity were need the eoronitrcial travellers themselves would become its best sod mcat numerous supporters, and he was ioclined to take the hint of the Lord Mayor, that if moaey was wanted they should come to him and ask him ,to use his influence with the corporation for a contribution to their foods. The institution was well supported, but it required to be better supported. He mentioned, an a gratifying instance of the feeling of the children educated in the school, the fact that six of the Ble soherribers of ten guineas had been inmates of the hull tion. He expressed a firm belief in its prosperity and edema. The toasts of " The Board of Management," " The Medical and other Officers,' " The Commercial Travellers," " The ;Stewards and Btewardreelrest," followed. A sub seription close oa 1,0001. was outmanned. THE DISTRESSING SUICIDE AT HAMMER SMITH. Yesterday evening the deputy coroner for West I 'Kiddlnez held an inquest the on the body of Capta death in E. C. Symonds, aged 57 years, particalan of whose appeared in yesterday's Express. Henry Stock, an architect residing at No. 45, Bed. fonliardens, Kousingtoo, said that the deceased was his brother-in-law. He was a gentleman living on his pro perty, and up to 1839 bad bees a captain in the Bengal Artillery. Al tar he left the army lie joined the South Middlesex Volunteers. He became insane, in consequence of a suaatroke by which be was attacked at the siege of Illeoltan, and in 1852 he returned to England deranged. He then married without the knowledge of his family. Dr. Sutherland was called in by the family, and be pro. I nounced him insane, but said that it wee unseceesary to put him under restraint. as the beat attendant he could have would be his wife. Whoa the Indian mutiny broke an the deceased said, " I will go to India and do my duty," and the doctor thought he might recover if he went out. A commission was got for him, sod he went out to India. During the mutiny he matched 200 men 900 miles to Cawnpore. In 1859 he sold out and returned to England in a very de pressed state of mind, and was in the habit of saying—l "It is a burthen to me to live." He was very mad upon political and religions subjects. He showed witness an article written by a Jersey newspaper editor upon himself, in which it was said—" He is a jolly looking Tenon of about 60 years of ego ; a r egular . specimen of a John Bull." Deceased said to winless, 'Shall I go over to Jersey and Asa the man who wrote it?" William G. Brim a boy living at Nc. 2, Lower Vale . H a mmersmith, said that on Tuesday afternoon saw the demand walk up to a tree in the centre of Brook-green, Hammersmith. He leant his back up against Wand then placed a double barrelled pistol to his mouth. itness then heard a loud report. and saw the deceased fall on the gran, covered with blood. A doctor and the police came to the spot, and found the deceased dead. Dr. Barrett proved that the roof of doomed's skull had been blown off by the explosion. Inspector Sorrell said that he found a lead bullet in the bark of the tree near which the decease I shot hionelf. Just ;novices to the commission of the fatal act the Asesased had bees distributing tracts in the houses in the neighbourhood. The jury returned a verdict "That the deeeseed killed himself while in a state of chronic uneousdness of mind." ---- DEA7II FROM EXCESSIVE DRIICEINO.—Dr. LAD tinter held en inquest yesterday afternoon hit the P.oyal Free Hospitsl, Grey'e.ioo•road, on the body of Ann Frig. more, aged 38 years. John Prigmore, plumber, 43. Wake field•street, Grey's-ion-road, said he wan the husband of deceased, who was an habitual drunkard, and in a delicate state of health caused by bar intemperate habits. She became suddenl► ill on Friday morning, and died before medical maintance could be procured. The medical evi• deem proved that the death of deceased bad resulted from magestion of the brain produced by excessive drinking. The husband of the deceased said be attached great blame to • nubile= in Harriaos•street, who constantly supplied xi wife with drink, although be earnestly requested him sot to do no. He had also given drink to one of his &Urea. The women said nothing could be more repro lhatsible then the oonduet of some publicans in giving drink to motioned druekards. The jury, having oxprmod their wocurreace with the camases remarks, esteemed a verdict of "Death from drookonsook" I . 4 THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1865. BISHOP COLENSO AND NATAL. A correspondent of the Guardian writes from Durban, Nov. 1, 1885: Now that the Vauban is daily expeeted In part, it may be Interest to churchmen at home to hear what steps are being taken here by the various parties into which society it unhappily divided, with • view to Dr. Gotham's reception. Though he has not yet arrived, there is abundant evidence on all sides that much asperity of fettles will probably be excited when he does. There may be said to be tone parties here :-1. Avowed sympathiser , with Dr. Coleman. Some of these do not anthet to all Dr. Colathes views, though they think him a martyr to his search for truth. In this Dumber mu st be included the upwards of one hum died men of differing creeds who have joined in an address congratulating him on his return to the calmly. 2. People who have constantly before th eir eyee the fear of running counter to the m y of the Privy Council or the Queen's supremacy, though they do not sympathise in Dr. Colenth's views. This party io favour of absolute iliac- Sion, and leaving things to right themselves as beat they may. And this course they more readily advocate from their fear of throwing themselves into the arms of the Now of Capetown, whom they look upon as a deegeroua man, aiming to become a spiritual 3. Thoth who, itual despot. though they, do not pledge themselves to approval of e v e r y act of the Bishop of Capetown, yet unite with the Convo cation of the Province of Canterbury In heartily admiriog his noble stand in defence of Divioe truth against the assaults of • bishop who has demisted the colours under which he enlisted. Thew are therefore prepared, so far as they can, to ignore Dr. Colossi till the sentence of &poet tion pined upon himberevessed by competeet ecclesiastical authority. Class o. 1 will probably mike • dthuniatretion of wel- come on the arrival of Dr. Oolong°. Class No. 3 includes, I am hsppv to believe, the clergymen and churchwardens of St . Paul's Church, Durban, who, I sin informed, intend, on the doctor's arr ival to the colony, simply to igoore his presence and take no notice of him until he intimates his intention of officiating_in their church, or takes s ome other aggressive step. They then propose to present him with their respective written protests, and leave him to take his own course ; being guided in their subaequect action by his: their great object beim& whilst firmly protesting agaioet Dr. Colcitho'N resseumprio of the n of hie spiritual functions, to avoid the defamation church by any unseemly brawl. I am not sufficiently informed to be able to say what will be the course adopt by the Dean of llaritzberg and his churchwardens at the cathedral, or indeed by the custodians of the other churches in the colony, but I understand that an address of churchmen to Dr. Wens*, repudiating his authority acd objecting to him reassumption of spiritual function,. isms course of sigoature in the cathedral city. By neat mail we shall probably here to speak in the poet instead of the future tenth. ST. Austrsrizirs, HAGGIRSTONS. Yesterday the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a new church in the perish of liaggeretate took place on the site of the proposed building, which is in Little Cambridgeatreet, York street, Hackney-road.. At h a lf-past twelve o'clock a considerable numbs: of the nha bitant* of the locality, with • large section of the clergy of the district, anembled on the occasion. Amongst those mascot ware Mr. (leeches, M.P., who consented to lay t he foundation stone of the new chureh, Mra. Goschee, Mrs. Charles Goschen, Mrs. Dailey, and the following elefilynteo Rev. F. Lowder, and Rae. U. ARM, SR George ' s num= Rev. J. W. Paella, St. Bereallea, iioo; Rev. J. Going, St. Paul's, Wslworth ; Rev. T. S. &Yana, Vtcez of Shore ditch ; Rev. J. Rees. and Rev. W.

Jackson, Rector of St. Stoke Newington; Rev. F. B. Statham , Rev. Dr. L M i s t i ldale, Rev. L. B. &Word, St. John', Hackney. St. Augustioe's is the first of three churches which it is intended to erect in the parish of liaggerstone under the amnions of the Sharable& and Haggerstone Church Building Society. In the Shoreditch district one church has been already erected. and the second is that the fcnindatioo stone of which was laid yesterday. The new church will be built for the accommodation of about 900 persona, and will be in what is called the middle-pointed style of nrchitee ture. The cost of the building will be about 7,5001. Its architect is Mr. Woodyer, tad it is intended that it shall be opened for wo rship in the coursed twelve months if sufficient funds can be obtained to meet the current outgoiogs. The Rev. Mr. Hervey, the vide of St. Augustine's, conducted the relinioca newt of the oeremony of laying the foundation stone. Mr. Goechen having laid the foundation stone of the new church, • large portion of the company adjourned to the adjoining school rooms of St. Mary, Haggerstoce, where luncheon wax prepared, and at which Mr:llarrr, churchwarden, presided. The toasts of the "Church and Queen," end the "Prince and Prince's of Wales," having been drank, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Mr. and Mrs. Goschee, stating that Mr. Goschen had contributed 5001. to the work in had. In replying to the toast, which was received with peat oerdielity, Mr. GOSCHEN stated that he coolidered it a sacred duty on the part of the laity to do what they could to promote Christianity amoopt the poorer classes. There was this difference between the country and the metropolis, that in the metropolis the poor lived by themselves, and had toetru%e on without the assistauce of the upper end middle in the City of London and is the West end wee set in a dark frame in the north ad south, and it WAS the duty of their representatives and of the government itself in these large centres of population, as far as in them lay, to do everything to contribute to spread the blessings of Christianity amongst them. In the West-end they only keew from the dry de tails of statistics the condition of the locality, but here he was amongst those who saw from day to day the pale and sunken faces of the poor. A work like the present, therefore, appealed to their best feelings. Prosperity to the church meant prosperity to those who lived around that church, and especially to the poor. (Hoar, hear.) There were thase who thought that the laity were unable to work with the clergy, but he was one of those who considered that, even if there wen not tolbe entire unanimity of doctrine or complete concord of views, they might all unite in the practice of doing good and spreading the vital principles of Christianity amongst the poor. He did not make light of theological differences, but outside of those differences there was a common ground on which they could all meet to do good. In conclusion he proposed the prosperity of St. Augustine's, Ibiggerstone, and hoped that the other two churches would speedily follow. (Hear, bear.) In connection with this toast he proposed the health of the Rev. Mr. Hervey. Mr. Hervey returned thank". Other toasts followed, sad the company separated shortly after 4 o'clock. A RAILWAY PAESENGEB. KILLED. —On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was bald at the Commercial Inn, Saddleworth, before Mr. J. It. Ingram, coroner, on the body of Mr. Matthias Robson , who was killed by fa lling over a viaduct on alighting at the Saddleworth station. Mr. Jordan,barrister, appeared for the London andNorthWestern Railway Company ;and Mr. Littler, solicitor. on behalf of the relatives of Mr. Robson. Deceased was 28 years of age, and son of a respectable farmer living near York. He came to Saddleworth to spend Christmas, and was about to be married. He travelled on Saturday evening by the train which left Leeds at 5 miautes after 9, and reached Saddle , - worth at a little atter 12 at midnight. The train was nearly two hours late, being a very heavy one of 22 carriage., drawn by two engines. At the Saddleworth station 'the train extended far beyond the limits of the platform at both ends. The porter immediately ran forward to warn pas sengers not to get out until their carriages were backed to the platform • bat before he could reach the carriage in which Mr. R odeos travelled, that gentleman had stepped from it to the parapet of a viaduct, arid fallen over it, 63 feet, to the highway beneath. Mr. Albert Hurst, of Sad dleworth, medical assistant, had also stepped out on the parapet, but discovered his situation in time to get down between the pampas and the train. At the inquest it was stated by Thomas Griadale, a polies superintendent, that the height of the parapet from the level of the rails was three feet six inches, sod the distance from where deceased wont over to the nearest end of the platform was 48 yards. The ,length of the platform itself was 100 yards. Between the rails and the parapet wall was four Pest nine inches. Deceased ex. nired almost immediately he was found in the roadway, The jury returned the following verdict :—" We find that the deceased came to his death by accidentally falling over the parapet of the Brownhill Viaduct, mainly in consequence of traveling in a train too long for the platform at Saddle worth statics, and the unguarded state of the parapet wall. The jury strongly recommend the London and North Western Railway Company to fence parapet walls more securely ; they censure the practice of despatching too log trellis until the platforms lengthened ; and they strongly reco mmend that an additional porter should attend the trains at Saddleworth station." Hari.w_tv COLLISION.—A. serious accident oc curred on Tuesday °wooing at the Newton railway station, I by which several persons were injured. The usual number of carriages for the lost third class train to Torqnsy having been found insufficient for the passengers waiting to go by it, the driver of the engine that had previously brought up the train from Torquay was directed, after he had watered the engine, to fetch two of the carriages of the train he had just brought up for them to be attached to the train to Torquay. The guard of the Torquay train had meanwhile shifted many passengers into these two carriages, and he was still proceeding with his work when the driver of the engine referred to, haring put on too much steam, was un able to bring up in time i s on the engine corning ioto collision with the carriages on the centre line of mile. The buffers of the carriages IMO much bent, and some of the passengers received revs» shakings anal SOON MU and bruises, but, happily, there were no more severe casualties. —Bream diorning News.

An ides had got into circulation thst Christmas Roe, Cliristmas-day, or yeatesday (Tuesday) bad been fixed upon by the leaders of the conspiracy for the oommencemeat of their enterprise, and this notion pro bably obtained greater mentions than it otherwise would have done from the extensive and unusual precautions taken by the authorities. The arming of the police with out lames, the Jammed number of constables to be sera to the streets, the patrols of cavalry which were added to the usual force of mounted polies in the suburbs, and the keeping of the whole of the military is prises under orders to be ready at a moment's notice, caused some to believe that the government mast be in p c m i sseion of important information which induced them to take such precautionery meseares. Inseam parts of the country there is no questim that great alarm exists, and the state of the public mind is indicated by the absurd rumours which our Limerick cor respondent informs us agitated the geed people of that the cit on Christmae-day. We need hardly say that as regards y city of Dublin there is no foundation for the rumours which prevailed, and that there are no grounds for apprehension or fear of any kind. Ample providon has been made tor the preservation of the peace, but we feel assured that the last thing the Fenian, is Dahlia contemplate is say movemeet which will bring them into collision with the authorities. Their number, we believe, is small, sod their leaders if they have any left, must know that any attempt which they might make would be promptly and dude sue* pressed. The most nervous individual, therefore, need not be eau the slightest apprehension on the subject. Last (Tuesday) night the city was extremely quiet, awl the country everywhere appears to be in the same condition. The bursting of the bubble in America, where the leaders are sow qui:rolling about their plunder, should do much to cams the dissolution of the erganiaatioa is !reload. The seamen on board of the Boyd George are b spending a dull Christmas time of it. The feast on Tuesday wasbut , semblance of its former self, as nom were permitted on ' bard but the wives or sisters of the sailors and marines, and est even these ns, if they had failed to make application foeadmittance three days previously. Spirits of &a kind were not allowed on baud. Offesers and men were y confined to the ship ; nom were permitted on shore, net even to their place of worship. In addition to the marines and blue jackets, the cooks and stewards have had on side-arma gime Thursday last, and the officers servants were not allowed on shore to-day for the usual marketing, with mu in caption the captain's valet. They will all be compelled to r emain on hoard ship until Thursday evening. There were only fourteen females on board of the Royal George on Tuesday; on last Christmas -day there were upwsula of 150. It is reported the preseat state of things is not favourably received by the men. The several batteries on this coot have bees doubly manned by the Guest B4ide and a detachment of the 24th Foot. Sentinels are posted, who are relieved at stated times ; mounted policemen sightly patrol the rcade, and other precautionary measures have been taken for public safety. In the face of these precautions all is quiet. The following is the communication from Limerick re ferred to above: LIMERICK, TrlL9DAT.—Yesterday being Christmas -day, and while the officers and men of the 73rd Highlanders were attending Divine serene, an unexpected teleeram of was received by the colonel from Clonmel, requiring 150 that carps for immediate duty, and stating that a scial train had been provided for their conveyance. The bugles weeded the call mter in the rrack-square, much to the surprise of thw h ol e gerrisee, so the usual preparations had been made to celebrate the festival with becoming j y o and merriment. It is scarcely neceesary to add that a good deal of bustle ensued, and various rumours of an exciting character won spread through the city. Neither officers nor men were apprised of the nature of the duties the military were so promptly reqc , red to discharge in Clonmel, and, ea a consequence, all was surmise. Some alloyed that the gaol of Clonmel had been attacked, and the Fenian prisoners therein con fined liberated by their associates. Another report bad Mims the benk bad been plundered there, and the houses of several respectable protestant& pillaged while the families were at church, and that three hundred troops had gone from Buttevant and Templemore before the telegram was received in Limerick. That Clonmel was set on fire gained credence, and, though last not least, that the Fenno' had totally destroyed the telegraph wires is the district, and cut off ell communication, but that the latter was false I at once made iryself sure of. At half-past three o'clock the detachment of the 73rd with two officers, left the barrack square io toll heavy marching order, amidst cheers from their comrades. which were taken up sod resounded along the line of route to the railway station, where hundreds had then 'mumbled to witness the departure. By this time every resident had it as positive (?) that the true rumour was, that it wee the gaol of Clonmel was broken into, the officials maltreated, and the Fenian set at large—that the con stabulary and military there were inadequate to suppress the disturbances. In this state of excitement the general public here was lost in suspense until this MOrniDir, when intelligence reached that the military in Clonmel having been sent on to Carrick-on-Suir, where the authorities an - I prehended some disturbances last night, it was deemed advisable to augment Clonmel garrison by military from Limerick and Templemore. It is added that the 53rd 1, depot, at Clonmel, bad wine difference between them selves before leaving. However, I merely give the rumour as it has reached ma. The Cork Constitution sop:—"The ardent opiate amongst the lonians are apparently by no means discou raged by recent events, Their notions about the feasibility of surprising and capturing the gannets' are as firmly fixed ss ever. Camden Fort his recently been strengthened by a reinforcement of forty-five men. The sentries have been doubled, and the greatest vigilance is observed, no one being allowed to rioter without proper authorisation. Not withstanding this, on Sunday week before daybreak a cor poral stationed in the fort was found walking about it with a civilian who had no business there. They were brought before the captain in command, and the corporal having been interrogated, stated that the person with whom be was in company was a brother of his from the county of Meath. The captain sent for the police•constable of the district, in order to give the civilian in charge. The constable asked what the offence was, and on being told the circumstances under which he was found in the fort, hessid that that appeared to him to be a military offence, and he demurred taking him iota custody without borne specific charge. This the captain would not make, sod the MUM was let go. The corporal, however, was placed under arrest, and still remains so. It appears that at one side of the fort a ditch has been levelled and a trench filled in order to carry out some improvements, and at this poiut the man must have entered, as he did not paw the sentries. His design can easily be inferred. Special attention seems to have been paid to this fort lately by the Brotherhood. On the Sunday week previous to the occurrence mentioned, a car drove from Cork to Crossbaven containing three person two of whom were unmistakeably Yankees, and the third a member of the Brotherhood known to the police as residing in Blackpool, in this city. They left the car at Crushaveci, struck into the country, entered the fort by the some means as the corporal's • brother from heath, and were for a long time within, when they returned and drove back to Cork. The supposition is that the Yankees were military men, and that they were taken to the fort for the purpose of becom ing conversant with its construction and details, with view to its transfer to the Faaiens." THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS.—A meeting of the Coal Muter.' Association was held at the King's Head Hotel, Barnsley, on Tuesday afternoon, and wan very largely attended. It is understood that hominess of import ance was discussed, but the coal masters think it to their advantage to keep the result to themselves. A meeting of the council of the Minas' Association was held the same afternoon at Wombwell, when, it being stated that Mr. 14itabelL the managing proprietor of the Edmonds Main and Swaithe Main Collieries, had offered the men an advance of 5 per cent., with weekly pays, it was resolved that the same should be accepted. Mr. Mitchell, who is a member of the Coal Masters Association, is the only person con nected with that body who has offered the advance. At Darley Main the notices of the colliers would expire on Wednesday, but the room have agreed to work until Sato! , day, in the expectation that an arrangement would be come to. The only thing that could be gleaned was that the masters were willing is give as advance of 5 per cent. up to May next, when the present rates would be returned to.—Lecch Mercury. THE CONVICT ROBlNSON.—Yesterday memorials to Sir George Grey and Mr. Justice Keating were being prepared, with a view to the recoasideration of the evidence touching the state of mind of Robinson when he com• witted the murder for which he was condemned at the winter anises at Stafford on last Thursday. The opinion of two of the highest authorities in Staffordshire upon insanity has been obtained in support of the statement that at the time be committed the murder Robinson was inune. Dr. Reason in his examinatioa was not asked what, in his opinion, ins the state of the young man's mind when the murder was perpetrated, but only what was his condition when he examined him in gaol. A BoT KILLED BY • HORSE.—In Inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the Royal Free Hospital, Grey's-inn-road, by Dr. Lankester, relative to the death of I John Thomas Basher, aged 15, who died in that institu tion. The deceased was employed as potman at the King's I Head inn, Leather-lane, and while accompanying one of the barmen who was leading a horse to stable, struck the animal with his cap, and caused him to become restive. Although cautioned against repeating the stroke, the boy did so, when the horse suddenly kicked him on the bead inflicting injuries from which he died.

Mrs. Wood mid her husband said to them, " Mind where you are going." They wore assaulted with fool abuse and threats by the prisoners, and Foster struck Mrs. Wood a cowardly blow with his fiat on 1 the mouth which caused her to bleed profusely. The' woman's bustard attempted to secure the soldier, and was prevented doing se by Chriap and Kliooli, who pulled him away, and challenged Mr. Wood to fight them. He declined doing so, the police were called, a row and fight ensued, ' and Chrisp and 'Ulrich made an attempt to rescue Foster from the custody of the police. They were defeated and lodged in the station-bones. A ean: of the Cainadia Guards said that Fos' er was a man of good character in the regiment to which he be-' longed, and not • drunkard ; but he had been imprisoned i for one month for assaulting a military officer. Mr. Partridge said he would not admit druekennese eel any palliation for crime. The prisoners were all drunk, rod making themselves offensive to everyone. Foster was a cowardly fellow to strike a woman, sad then to run after her and attempt to hit her again. He wee sure all then pri- 1 Sonar's comrades in the Grenadier Guards would look with scorn and contempt on • man who struck • woman.

The coarse, which is ell grass, wee heavy, but still good "gulag." The following is a retina INCIDENT IN THE PRIEM TREATY. (From the Glasgow Herald.) We met daily in the curious old apartments in the Rue de Universite about 10 a.m. These were sneered at at the time for their meanness and obecurily, but it mattered not to Mr. Cobden where he wrought if he were allowed to work iu the great mission of his life. He, unless engaged with the gentlemen of the French commisaioe, was generally there before us. For some days we bad remarked that he seemed troubled and annoyed. At last he told us that all his trouble,' came from his own government, that his present annoyance was in connexion with the duties to be charged on the articles to be admitted on ad referent duties. He and the French commissioners had agreed that when articles were found to be invoiced 10 per cent. below their actual value, for the purpose of effecting a fraud on the revenue, they should be liable to confiscation. This agreement bad been communicated to oar govern ment, and of course in the order of circumlocution was re ferred to some men.ber or members of the Board of Customs or Board of Trade. The result was Mr. Cobden was in structed to insist that 15 per oent. of under valuation instead of 10 per cent, should be the point to warrant confis cation. Mr. Cobden told us that the French Commissioners, with that honourable and conciliatory spirit which had characterised all their dealings in this important matter, had agreed to give way, but one of their number, M. Rouher, of whom Mr. Cobden al w ay s s p oke in the highest terms, took him aside and said, "We give in on this point on your account, but 1 cannot help . maying your government are• committing a grave commercial blunder . " Poor Mr. Cobden felt humbled and asked what our opinion wee on the matter. We, one and all, stated our convictions that the lstitude of 10 per cent. was moat liberal, and to stipulate for 15 per cant. was to insist oo a premium for dishonesty. Strengthened with this opinion from the deputations, Mr. Cobden resolved to make another trial with our govern ment, when a flippant answer was returned that " no doubt when gentlemen from Manchester end Weeper got under the influence of French wine and French cookery, they would agree to anything." The "gentlemen from Man chester and Glasgow" were, of course, not very well pleased at this unmerited aspersion, but it fairly exhausted the patient spirit of Mr. Cobden, and he immediately wrote "that if this was the way in which the convictions of him self and the two gentlemen whom the government had asso ciated with him were to be treated, it would be better to recall them, and send over three clerks, who would no doubt carry out the wishes of the government or those whom they consulted." Two days after the pleasant cordial smile of Mr. Cobden had returned, and be informed us that an answer bad been received to his last communication prompt and decisive, "Let the limit be as Mr. Cobden recommends." Dear good man, his own convictions were all so honest, and has efforts all so fall of ardent desire for the good of hie country, and the brotherhood and well-being of the whole human race, it was no wonder that his honest spirit chafed at the annoyance of circumlocution and indifference. Working morning till evening in the inner of the three little apartments, the only respite was when, abiut midday, his dear, affectionate wife, quietly walking up-stairs sod entering hie private door, umed to him his sandwich and a little bottle of light French wine. The two enjoyed ashort chat together,whwe he immediately turned again to his work. It was a glorious sight to look upon him working earnestly and willingly, without fee or reward, at what he believed to be his peculiar mission, supported by earnest honourable Frenchmen, and enjoying the confidence of the French Emperor, of whose honourable conduct and sincere desire for the welfare and friendly progress of the two countries he always spoke in the warmest terms.
