CHATHAM, JAN. 20. lu cori•equerice of the great increase which has lately taken place in the ber of soldiers belo*ging to this ganiain charged before the magistrates in the neigL• bouring city of Rochester, an inquiry into the circumstances wee instituted by the magistrates yesterday afternoon, at the clam; of the ordinary bildniss before the court. During the investigation it transpired that mutely a sitting of the magistnites passes without one or more soldiers being charged before the court for various offences, and only un &lanky there were uo leas than five soldiers placed before the magistrates, three of them for being concerned in two burglaries the same night, while auother of the soldiers, who is a returned convict, was apprehended within the city, where lie admitted he woo for the purpose of committing a robbery. la reply to the magistrates I. was stated that one great reason for the recent increase in the number of offences by the military was that the pickets had lately been withdraw* from Rochester, and confined aschnively to this town ; while soldiers of known bad character were too frequeutly granted to be about from the barracks all night is prone of wh ich ipase two of the soldiers apprehended forburglary had pusses in their posseellion, permitting them to be absent all night. The Mayor directed Superintendent /bulky, the chief constable, to lay the facts of the case before Major. General Eyre. in order that he might adopt means to prevent a recurrent* of the military offences within the city of Rochester, ' The memorandum issued a few days since by Major. General Eyre, in the shape of a garrison order, to the officers and troops of the district, inviting them to com mence a subscription towards the relief of the distressed pour, has been responded to by all make in the garrison in a most generous spirit, nearly the whole of the officers and men having subscribed, sad a rather considerable amount obtained up to the present time. The subscription his not ouly been confined to the troops in barraclui, but the invalids under treatment at Port Pitt Hospital have also subscribed among themselves towards the same object, upwards of 101. having been collected in that establishment elate. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 9D. The Bedfordshire regiment of light infantry, one of the finest militia regiments in the service, is ordered to be disembodied by the 7th proximo. Volunteering com menced yesterday, an allowance being granted to each volunteer of 14 days' pay am a gratuity, and a bounty of 21. It to Utlderfliooll that the 13eilfunlahire militia will be suc ceeded in Portsmouth by the 41st Regiment of the line. At the last Portsmouth tluarter Sammie the Recorder, J. D. Weridge, Fast, drew the attention of the grand jury to the fact that a large proportion of the criminala under his juridiction was composed of soldiers and sailors in her Majedy's service.

TN' 81711101 IN ST. PANCRAIL—OD Satunlay afternoon Mr. G. 8. Brent, deputy-caroler, held an inquest at the residence of the late Mr. John Evan nriflitha, in Oesußten-street, St. Pancras, on the body of that gentleman. The evidence showed that the d who was bat 38 years of age, had for sometime past :374 from en affection of the liver, but bad latterly materially improved. On the evening of Friday week, on returning from his farm in Fesex, whilst driving his depend through Calthorpeotreet, be accidentally drove over a man who, it was shown, was at the time under the influence of liquor, and who received injuries of which he died on the following Mooday. This had such a terrible effect upon Mr. Griffith.'. mind that his depression of spirits increased to a perfect melancholy, and which was aggravated by an interview with one of the summoning officers of St. Pancras relative to the inquest. On Thursday morning one of his servant. went up to deceased's bedroom for the keys and discovered his master suspended by a cord to 0011 of the bed-posts ; life was extinct. In one of his pockets was found a paper containing his own version of the accident which had led him to terminate his existence. It was as follows "On coming from Shoreditch.station on Friday night last, about the middle of Calthorpeotreet, came suddenly upon a man on the off aide of my horse, about ten feet from the Pavement. (My lamps were very bright, fixed to the dash woo, which must have deceived me.) I hallooed, but in giantanisously I saw him fall under the horse, and before I had tine to pall up the cart was over him. I immediately stopped, and sent Noble [his groom) to see him attended to, and - waited about tan minutes, and saw some miss drew up, and saw be had seaelenoe. One of the cabmen told me my man would see to it all right. He told me to go on, which I then did, sot suspects the man was hurt so much ea it afterwards turned out. The man appeared to reel. and I coocludel if be had not been in liquor the accident would nut have happened. Noble returniog from the hos pital the same night, saw my brother and me going there. I understood him to lay it wee the near wheel, but I find sow he says it was the off wheel, which was my first im pression." The coroner and jury expressed their conviction that the deceased war induced to commit the act from a feeling of remove at baying been the cause of death of a fellow creature, and while in an unsound state of mind, and is verdict was recorded to that effect. THE All LIMED sxcitoAcirmsrfr UPON - PIT If Jo - ill - I IITS :if Triiiiii OA fa. The alleged encroachment upon the right of the public is limmage's-walk, Highgate, is still agitating the northeru distracts of the metropolis, and the vestry of St. Pancras met again last week to consider the revolt of the highways and works committee,with the surveyors estimate for putting Bnanage'swalk, or Love-lane, in proper repair, and also to consider the memorials for and against the clos• iug of that walk. Mr. Churchwarden CART/Ili occupied the chair. There stated that Mr. Scott, the chief surveyor, esti mated the cost of putting the walk in a proper state of repair, with drainage, &c., to be 12111., and the committee recommended that it be referred hick to them to carry out. Mr. lionmitons Ttui'eo moved the adoption of the report, and said the committee were firmly convinced, the estimate was very high, that the parish would be d'" • 'din incurring such expense, rather than to permit this tight of way to be lost to the public. The motion having been seconded, sod the various memo rials which bad been presented for and against the closing referred to, Major WILKINISoN moved as an amendment, "That the whole question as to the steps nesemary to be taken as re gards Bromage's-walk, together with the several memorials and the notice requiring that a special meeting of vestry should he convened to consider the desire expressed in the notice that the walk should be stopped up, be referred to a special committee, consisting of the chairmen of the various atandiqg committees :old persons to be now nominated." He considered the subjects very important one, and thought It might to have thorough investigation before coming to • concluaion. The feeling was very stmog in Highp.te in &- voted dosing fidirwalk, chiefly on the ground of tea present disgraceful condition, and the siTO6l of vice and immorality practised there. Most of the gentry, and a large number of the county magistrates, had signed memorials requesting the vestry to close the path. Mr. ELDRIDGE, for the purpose of argument, seconded the amendment. Mr. Roes could not but look with some suspicion on thole who were anxious to close up this path mart the public. Why should all this influence be brought to bear upon that Imerd if there was not something behind which it was not wanted the public to see • (Hear, hear.) He dal not for one moment believe that Major Wilkinson wan , Limeelf personally acquainted with the immoralities and vice said to be practised in Love-lane, because he did nut suppose he ever ventured there at night—(laughter)—but ' he (Mr. Roes) thought that the gallant major bad beep im posed upon by individuals who wished to benefit themselves at the expense of the public. (Hear, hear.) Diverting a thoroughfare like Love-lane might be of immense value to the adjoining land, and the plea of vice and immorality had been trumped up to attain this object. He (Mr. Ross) had been up this lane—not at night--a good many times, sad he had never seen anything there to shock his modesty. (Laughter.) If the plea of vice and immorality were to be held as an argument, it would equally apply to the Re. geet's•park and other places after nightfall. Would any or vesture, however, to close up the Regent's-park upon such a plea. (Hear. hear.) The influence of forty-four ma literates was brought to bear upon them to close this right of way, but the bulk of the people of Highgate wersopposed to Ariang . up the walk. W Major ILIIIIMON said the number of s4mitures to the memorials in favour of closing were 133, and 42 against it. Mr. Blau-11 the promoters of thin closing movement were to call a public meeting of the inhabitants, they would find the votes ten to one against them. In concluaion, be hoped that the vestry would be careful how they suffered any eseroachment whatever upon public rights. Hr. J. It. CoLune said if t he n was one thing more than earlier which couvinced him that even in Highgate the attempt to close this right of way was unpopular, it was the fact that the gentry of the district could only muster some 110 name in favor of closing, out of a population of some 5,000. When they also knew that, in a place situated r Highgate was, the bulk of the inhabitants were more or less under the influence of the gentry, it was a marvel lous thing that they mild only muster the dumdum of 130 perms. It had been stated that the walk must be lighted; if it was nemerry, that had better be dose rather than chase the walk. kir. FARR= ;mid the ground upon which this path was sought to be closed was a myth. (Hear, bear.) All sort* of errs were described as resulting from keeping this path way open, and yet no one had ever seen the evils them selves, and the police denied the imputation. No evidence whatever had been adduced to justify that board in consent tog $o this path. warm/ion said all he required by his amendment was'a full inquiry. Op th i a ps i t uas on being put the amendment was negatived by • 4. t 4 ta 3. Mr. JAM - TATt.ea than moved asother anceadment. namely, " That prior to the adoption of the ph in the report relative to the drainage and repair of Bremner walk, the chief surveyor be directed to prepare a specifica tion of the intended works, and that the solicitor advise the vestry as to their liability to light the said walk." Mr. fistrrn o.ecooded the amendment. Yr. SILAS TAYLOR Mid there was no necessity for the motion, because it was a role that for every contract over 1001. tenders must be advertised for. After some discussion upon this subject, the second esnewaseat was carried by slurp majority. COLLISION ON_ THE LONDON AND NORTH *lsislie On Friday night another accident occurred on the London and North Western Railway. A collision took place between two trains, almost within sight of the Loo. don terminus, by which one gentleman, • first-class pas senger, sustained serious injury, others were slightly cut and bruised, and the guard of the auxiliary mail was also much hurt in one of the legs and otherwise injured. The auxiliary mail train, which leaves the Ruston ter minus at 9.15, started on Friday night at its proper time, and iu five minutes afterwards was followed by the 9.911 short mail train to Wolverton. It appears that on reaching what is tennedthe " bank,”that is, the incline upwards, Iran the outside of the northern end of the station to Oatndeo Town, the driver of the engine drawing the auxi liary mail found the rails so slippery that with all the steam he could put on his engine he could not advance, although the usual practice of throwing gravel and cinders on the rails was resorted to. He had reached that part of the line between the Hampstead-road.bridge, near Mora ington-rreacent, and the bridge which creases the line in the Moroingtotproad, facing the Victoria Tavern, into Park.% illage, when, notwithstanding the exertions of the driver, his engine was brought to a stand. Being also at this point between the two high walls which flank the line on either aide, the atmosphere was so heavy that it pre routed the steam from his engine dispersing, as it would do were the train in rapid motion. Where the Hampstead-road crosses the line the railway bridge I. a very long one, and on a carve and it was not until the driver of the Wolverton train had passed through this bridge that he was aware the auxiliary mail was immedi ately before Mar on the same line. The moment, how ever, that he made the discovery he shut off his steam and , reversed his engine, but tieing a light train of only three or four carriages, notwithstanding that he Was going up the incline, he was unable to check the impetus upon it in sufficient time to prevent a collision. His engine ran into the guard's break van, in which was the unfortu. nate guard Jones. In the next carriage, a first-class, were • commercial man named Solomons, ccnoected with the firm of Olucksteio and Co., wholesale cigar and tobacco importers, of Whitechapel, and other persona. Although the shock was not exceedingly violent most of the passen gers were thrown from their seata, and an alarm being immediately given at the terminus the officiate still re. mainiue on duty were quickly on the spot to render any assistance which might be required. Mr. Solomon', who appeared much hurt about the legs. Jones, the guard, and one or two other passengers, whose faces were cut with the broken glass, were immediately removed beck tothe Ruston Hotel, where they were seen by Mr. Skelding, of Ruston- aquare, the surgeon of the company, and one or two other I medical gentlemen who were sent for. With the exception I of the case of Mr. Solonions and the guard Junes, it was found that the injuries sustained were of a superficial cha racter, and the injured people were enabled to premed on their journey. With respect to Mr. Solomon', it was as certained that no bones were fractured, although one of hie legs was very severely contused, but he was so far recovered on Saturday as to be able to be removed to his residence. The guard still remainsat the Euston Hotel under medical treat ment, bet is described as going on very favourably, the prin cipal injury being to one of his knees, although it is stated that the knee-cap is not affected. None of the carriages were displaced from the line, and after • abort delay both the auxiliary mad and the Wolverton train were enable to proceed on their journey. A BULL IN Br. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD.—Yester day, shortly before COS o'clock, sad at the time that large numbers of persons were returning from the various places of religious worship in the City, so infuriated bull of the compact Scotch breed, and exceedingly lively, broke out of one of the lain in the neighbourhood of Smithfield, and rushed at full speed along Long-lane sad Aldersgate street, by the General Post-office, to the top of Cheapside, to the terror of several ladies sod children, who sought refuge in doorways and p ges from the mischief the wild. looking animal appeared ready in a moment to do. Having waited for a minute or so at the north-eeetern corner of St. Nara Churchyard be suddenly turned towards the northern estrasee to the cathedral, bolted in, and went towards the steps leading to the northern portico, but probably through perceiviug the gram within the euclosure„ be went up to the rails miring with heat and *north" violently. In a short time, however, hebecameoomparatively calm, and the police having turned back the mob (of whom there were several hundred persons), so as to prevent their following and ex citing the least, be was taken in baud Ly two drovers, who took him easily along to his old quarters, fortunately with out his having elected any material damage. (Stamped, id. Additional.) [TWOPENCE. AN IMPERIAL SKATING PARTY. Um. Paris correspondent writes, under date ~f Saturday evening : " Last night I had the luck to be present at a grand court skating match by torchlight. In Paris the streets were muddy ; it was supposed that a decided thaw had set iu, the ice on the lake in the Bois tie Boulogne was pronounced unsafe— it was, as I ascertained myself, watery on the sur face, and not a soul was to be seen upon it. But be yond the Longchamps racecourse, and on the banks of the Seine, near M. de Rothschild's splendid villa, and just epposite Sureene, there is a meadow studded with pretty clumps of high trees, which was overflowed during the late floods, and which, although the thermometer had risen to a shade above zero, still presented a smooth coating of solid ice, there being scarcely any water under neath. At this spot the Emperor, with as much secrecy as possible, had made a rendezvous for ten o'clock at night. The great Godillot, under taker of public rejoicings, hung the branches of the trees with hundreds of Chinese lanterns, and serving men, as numerous as those peasants wh o Brat walked .11 night long up and down the ponds about the royal palaces to prevent the frogs from waking the Kings of France, promenaded the frozen meadow with lanthorns fixed on their heads. Be sides; this constant illumination, there was an in termittent succession of Bengal fire and fizzing torches, which lighted up the scene a giorno. A body of men in white blouses—a special ice police—formed a cordon round the field of ope rations, and kept off those who were uninvited, but the crowd of spectators, though considerable, consisted mainly of the inhabitants of St. Cloud, Sureene, and the neighbouring villages. The popu lation of Paris knew nothing of the fête, and up to this hour neither the M oniteur nor any other jour nal has said a word about it. As soon as the Em peror and the court arrived the sport commenced in very business-like style. The Empress got into a sledge, and M. Hartogs, a German gentleman whose proficiency as a skater attracted the imperial notice two years ago, and who is now called at court the Emperors ilick-de.cantp de glace, bad the honour of pushing her Majesty on the Ice. He took her along at railroad speed, and was out of sight of shore in less than a minute. The Emperor then put on his skates, and conducted the sledge of a lady whose name I could not learn. The Countess de Murny, enveloped in velvet and white furs, essayed her prowess, but was supported by two gentlemen, who gave her a hand on each side. The Princess Pouiatowski went along very well by her self. In a abort space of tune, the ice was thickly studded with a host of chamberlains, genera e, aides-de-camp, and even judges who had come with the court party to join in the fashion able amusement of the hour.' The notion of coming to skate in a thaw was highly approved of, for the night was by no means cold. The Emperor and Empress remained on the ice till half-past eleven. "This afternoon, the frost in the meantime having returned with considerable intensity, the sport was resumed by the imperial party at the same spot. M. Hartogs gave the Empress a pro menade in a beautiful sledge, which was sent for by telegraph from Germany, and only arrived this morning. Afterwards her Majesty ventured to skate, but only with the assistance of two gentle men. She is not at her ease upon the ice, and, considering that she comes from sunny Spain, this is not to be wondered at. The Emperor is a eery good skater. He does not attempt any towns dc force, but he is perfectly master of his movements. His wont is to go along rather slowly, and he stops frequently to contemplate the animated scene around - Inm. Not the least etiquette is observed on the ice. No clear apace is kept about the Emperor or Empress. They go about just like anybody else, and to-day, unlike last evening, everybody without exception was allowed to skate at the game time with them. The Em peror had nothing whatever but his own adroitness to prevent him from being knocked over by the first tyro in the sport whose skates might run away with him. It was an interesting sight to see the master of so many legions, the mighty potentate upon whose mysterious breath the fate of so many na tions hangs, slipping about unpretentiously on the ice, no squire or even servant following him, and apparently as much on an equality with the people about him as a carter is with a ploughman on an English farm-yard pond. Once a young man, who saw the Emperor skating slowly along the middle of the lake, steered almost indiscreetly cline to him and gave him the go by, with the evident intention of getting credit with the spectators for being the best skater. The Emperor then, without any ap parent effort, increased his speed, gracefully dis tanced his opponent bye few yards, and, contented with his victory, resumed the steady pace which, as I said before, he seems to affect. The frost is severe to-night, and should it continue the rage for skating will attain extraordinary proportions. Happy the amateur who has a good pair of skates, for the manufacturers cannot make them fast enough. The lake in the Bois de Boulogne is again in capital order." IMPERIAL CHA RITY.—The Moniteur publialtes the following announcement :—'• The Emperor and Empress, always anxious about the coodition of the poor, have just assumed a noble initi►tive, which the rich and charitable will hasten to imitate. By order of their Majesties, a sum • 05,000 fr. has bees placed at the disposal of the prefect of police, who will distribute it to the necessitous classes in tickets for bread and firing. The dis tributions, which will comprise 200,000 tickets for the former, and 45,000 for the latter, were immediately corn - mewed through the commissaries of police of Paris. This example, proceeding from so elevated • position, will certainly be followed, and every ens will desire to aid in alleviating the sufferings of the poor by prompt and abuudant contributions."

MERCANTILE SUSPENSIONS. A painful impression has been produced by the announcement of a very heavy mercantile suspen sion. The house in question is old and respectable, being that of Mews. Francis Ede, Son, and Co. It appears that, although they were unable to meet their acceptances on Saturday, some relief has come forward at the eleventh hour, and it is regarded as still possible that arrangements may be effected by which the engagements of the house may be provided for. These engagements, however, are very extensive. It is understood that their direct acceptances amount to about 400,0001., and there is a rumour that the aggregate of their liabilities in every form will not fall short of 700,0001. or 800,000'. The firm were formerly in the silk trade, and are said to have accumulated in it a considerable amount of capital, but they have of late years associated themselves more closely ' with the Levant trade, particularly with financial transaction at Constantinople. The news of their stoppage will produce a disagreeable impression in that city, as well as at Marseilles, Genoa, and other places. It is naturally asked, how have they become committed to so heavy an amourt of lia bilities 1 The explanation appears to be that they have been engaged in farnainga portion of the Turkish revenue, and have bad much to do with pecuniary trausaions with Turkish dignitaries. It is under stood, however, that the business in which they are concerned promises lucrative results, and that the principal cause of their immediate difficulty is ina dequacy of capital for carrying it on. Should these impressions be confirmed on investiga tion, there would, perhaps, be little difficulty in inducing members of the Greek interest, or other creditors, to co-operate towards completing the transactions now pending. Such an arrangement would be the more satisfactory because this appears to be one of those cases wherein a forced liquida tion would be disastrous to all concerned whereas a continuation of the business may per haps enable it to be wound up with little or no loss. The affair has been placed in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., the accountants, and as much depends upon their re port, it is awaited with great interest. Megan. Henry Smith and Son, railway contrac tors, of Birmingham, have also stopped payment. It is stated that the liabilities amount to about 20,0001., and the assets to 8,0001. Subjoined is the circular which has'been issued : tipringhill Works, Birmingham, Jan. 19. We regret to inform you that, in consequence of a series of untoward circumstances attending some heavy contracts which we had entered into, we have been com pelled to suspend payment. We have placed our books in the bands of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Co., of London, who will lay the statement of our attain before our credi ton at the earliest possible moment.—We axe, HINNY SMITH AND SuN.

THE MYNTERIOUS CASE OF POIEONING IN NOR robe.--The poisoning case at Diu, Norfolk, of which a few hurried particulars were given on Saturday, is a very strange affair, and becomes more mysterious the more it is investigated. It is desirable to recapitulate very briefly the leading facto, as otherwise the additional particulars obtained will not be intelligible. A few days since, Albert, the youngest son of Mr. It. Aldrich, • tradesmen living in the town, was taken suddenly ill, and died in a few hours, after suffering painful convulsions. Two other members of Mr. Aldrich's family were attacked in a similar meaner, but recovered. The symptoms of the deceased were those of bilious diarrhea, and be was found by the surgeon fulled in, in • semi-comatose condition. The surgeon gave him • powder, and called spin in an hour or two, when he found that another medical man had been summoned to tbe bed side of the sufferer, arid that the symptoms were still more alarming, the child being convulsed, the pupils of the eyes 'very much dilated. and the thumbs curiously turned in. The poor boy died in the course of 24 hours after he was first attacked. A peel *orient examination was made of hie body, which presented a perfectly healthy appearance with the exception of a perfora tion in the stomach shout the size of a shilling, such as might have been caused by the action id a strong corrosive poison. The stomach did not present the appear. ance generally caused by the admioistration of arsenic or corrosive subliniate ; but the examining surgeon is of opinion that the death of the boy was occasioned by the presence of poison in his system, although he cannot indicate precisely what that poison was. On these facia being stated at an inquest held by Mr. E. S. Bigoold, deputy coroner for Nor ' folk, the jury requested that an adjournment might take place, in order that the stomach might undergo a per analysis. This the deputy coroner said he should not feel it his duty to orsler. Time jury then inquired the law on the subject, and finding that the coroner had the option of act ing as he pleased in the matter, they requested that • ropy of the depositions should be forwarded to the Home Secre tary. This course being also objected to by the deputy coroner, the jury unanimously declined to return a verdict. The inquiry was eventually adjourned, to enable the deputy coroner to consult the coroner for the county upon the course to be pursued. If further action is not taken in the matter, there will be Nome public dissatisfaction. EIPLOIIION OP GAM AT THE WBILLYAN SCHOO_I9, WEATMUIETEIL-An explosion of a fearful character, fend which was well nigh attended with serious consequences to life and property, happened on Saturday afternoon, in the immense pile of premises belonging to the Weele cow oexion, and termed the Wesleyaa Collegiate and Training Schools, situate in the Horeeferry.road, Westminster. The building is divided into sundry compartments, including dormitories, class rooms, lecture halls, Ac. From the parti culars obtained it appeared that a strong smell of gas escap ing had been experienced during the day in No. 1 Class room, but from what part could not be correctly ascer tained, when a man foolishly took a lighted candle to look for the spot where the leakage had occurred. The gas that bad escaped from the pipes having accumulated in the room, the moment the light was taken in the vapour be came ignited, and exploded with a noise resembling a clap of thunder. The concussion was so great that the man was prostrated, the maps aod other things in the room set on fire, and from 40 to 50 squares of glass blown from the windows. Several of the gentlemen connected with the establishment and ninny of the neighbours hastened to the building, as well as Mr. H. Campbell with the brigade en gine from the contiguous station, and owing to their joint exertions the fire was prevented from extending beyond that part of the establishment it. which the explosion hap pened, which was fortunate, for bad the Sines extended to the ether floors the loss of property would have been groat.
