A Lite edition of thu Express is 'published every eveniag during the racing 1113310111, containing the results of Um lLty ' s moor. I r trade is to receive any stimulus during the closing months of the year, it will arise from two causer—Lilo nil:dimming of a harvest which, though probably below an average, is ex tremely satisfactory, and the important fall iu the value of money. It is gratifying to ob serve, as a partial compensation for the gene rally dull coneition of the export trade, that Ulu internal business of the country has begun to pre sent indica:io-is of revival. On this point the re ports from t.iu hardware, woollen, hosiery, lace, and linen districts concur. The prospects of what is termed the home trade, as distinguished from the foreign, are beginning to be regarded more hopefully. This is very natural, fur thedepression which has prevailed in the home trade originated mainly in thu straitened circumstances of the agri cultural interest, and will be relieved to sonic extent now that that interest is once more placed in funds. The country shopkeeper arms • bettor chance of getting his shelves cleared, and of being able to discharge his obliga tions to the wholesale dealer, and to get in • fresh stock. There is, we tsar, • large accumula tion of arming of this nature, testifying both to the embarrassments of the retailer and to the pressure upon the wholesale trader. The increase in the number of small insolvencies, and of small bills which are nut met at maturity, proves how seriously the adversity of the agricultural interest has ailectcd the community at large. The ne cesaity for economy, which has given the check to consumption, has not yet passed away, so that the home trade is not likely to experience a sudden rebound, but it is very encouraging to believe that the corner has been turned, and that • moderate revival will probably take place in this important department of business. We fear, however, that, both as regards the home and the foreign demand, the great cotton interest of the kingdom is likely to remain in an exceptionally anxious position, owing to the uncertainty respecting the supply of the raw material. With regard to the prospects of the money market, the hopes lately entertained have become stronger. The Bank rate of discount, which in February last reached 8 per cent., and which was still as high as 6up to the beginning of last month, has now fallen to 4 per cent., to the sur prise of many observers, who thought so rapid a movement too much to eapect so soon after a bad harvest. They have accordingly been looking apprehensively to the action upon the foreign ex changes, in the expectation that an unfavourable c►ange would occur, that gold would begin to flow out as soon as the pressure involved in a high rate of discount was removed, and that the Lank of England would soon be in a position to advance their rate again. Nothing of the kind, however, has taken place. Although the value of money in the general market remains' at the lowest point to which it has yet fallen, the exchanges are firm, and at a generally satisfactory level, so that gold is still accumulating here. There are two broad features which stand out pretty boldly at the present moment. The first concerns the import trade. It was very generally apprehended that the great in crease which has taken place in the imports this year would caner the balance of trade to remain largely against us foe • considerable time to come, leading to a sustained ran: of gold. The fact that, directly the imports have slackened (we need not recapitulate the figures given in former articles), nearly all the gold imported has been re tained here, indicates satisfactorily enough that the large ►mport& of the first six months of the year were paid for as fast as they came in, and that we are free from liability on that score. The second point to which we wish to call attention relates to the export trade. Were we to affirm boldly that the decline which is now taking place in the ex ports, and which amounted to nearly 20 per cent. in the month of July, is calculated to have a favourable effect on the exchanges, we should probably be suspected of unsoundness, for it is very natural to object that, as the foreign trade of a nation is adjusted upon the principle of payment I being made or received in specie according as the general balance lies upon the aide of imports or exports, any heavy decrease in the latter must throw the balance wrong, make the exchanges adverse, and carry gold out. Nevertheless, we ' commit ourselves to that position, and maintain that the decrease now witnessed in the export trade means not only relief to the discount market, from the decrease in the amount of bills' admit, but also a favourable effect, that is, for the time, upon the foreign exchanges. The improve ment in the latter arises from the fact that, directly I we begin to send out fewer exports, for which we give credit, we import less of the raw material of theme exports, for which, as a rule, we pay cash. l The result is that the exchanges, particularly wi.h near countries, such as the Continent, are moved in our favour by the diminution in our imports of raw material from them, whilst we continue at the same time to receive the returns for the large exports previously made. For example, in 1856 and 1857 we sent enormous consignments of goods to every quarter of the world, in great part, as usual, on credit. At the end of 1857 there was • commercial crisis, and all through 1858 the exports fell off greatly. It might be argued that this would put the balance of trade against us, yet the fact was that during 1858 gold accumulated in this country to an extent scarcely ever before known. Why was this t Simply because in 1858, this country, partially suspending fresh transactions with its fore "n customers, was content to receive the returns for the large consignments made in THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1861. 1856 and I t;:.;. Just in the same way, a decrease in our exports in the [fecund six months of the present year may be accompanied by an accumu lation of Ixilli in , in payment for the large exports made in 1860, and in the first six months of 1861. There is another consideration which has a good effect upon the money market at present, and that is the sldentlid condition in which the grain crops in England have been gathered iu. It will be recol loct s! that just before harvest time in 1800, that is to say before ono of the worst harvests on re cord, the 7':sits published a remarkable leader, in which, utterly deriding those whom it called this croakers, it comforted all hearts for the moment with the emphatic assurance, from its own ex clusive sources of information, that the harvest would be a very good one. This year, but under very different circumstances, our contemporary has delivered himself in a similar vein. Cautious people do not forget last year's grievous slip, and, fond as they are of forming their own conclusions from the sources of information which are open to every one, are distrustful of accepting im plicitly a journalist's hasty impressions upon so important and difficult a subject. The conviction of people of calm judgment is that the harvest thin year, taking Scotland and Ireland into the account, has been overrated as regards ymon d I;lit as regardieralii!i, it would appear that the advantage over last year is immense. Tho point iu favour of the money market is that this marked superiority in quality will enable us to fall at once upon the consumption of this year's crops, irrespective of foreign supplies, and that the payment for such extra quantity of grain as we may require will be driven off to a late period, perhaps until next year, when our stocks may get low. Tho straitened position of the agri cultural interest will operate in the same direc tion, for many farmers, after struggling through the last bad year, will be obliged to sell this year's produce early, and thus prices in the corn markets %sill be kept down, and imports from abroad discouraged. At a later period, as already observed, we may have to import more, and some of the gold which we are now receiving may be withdrawn in payment, but for the prevent there is a probability of a relieved money market.

The official flicearde di Roma of to-day, in its official part, declares the pussage relative to ROll3ll in Baron Itica.soli's note to be calumnious, and that it is unworthy of the dignity of the Holy Sue to make any reply demonstrating the falsity of the assertions contained therein. The Gionwle di Roma continues :—" The Pon tifical government ha. truule an appeal to the representatives of the foreign powers at Rome, and to the loyalty of the French army to testify to the falsity of the insinuations contained in Baron lticasolem note." TURIN, Scrr. S. The national fete at Naples yesterday was a splendid affair. Grunt numbers of citizens were present. Thu city was illuminated, and universal joy prevailed.

The Tfirial Gazette of to-day publishes an ad dress from the Central Venetian congregation to the Emperor of Austria, praying for the diminution of the insupportable burden of the military billet ing system, to which 700 communes bad been subjected instead of 36, as was originally ordered. The address also states that the demands of the military were very exorbitant, and that several communal authorities had beau compelled to tender their resignation. FLORENCE, /Um R.

To-day the Emperor received the deputation bearing the address of the Lower House ut the Reichsrath. His Majesty said in his reply : "The address to which I have just listened strengthens my glad conviction that you place confidence in me, who trivself am faithful to the constitution. "The Lower House, in entirely adopting my principle that the provinces should possess legal autonomy, but that they should be bound together in a natural unity, has likewise conceived that such an autonomy shall only be limited by a con scientiors fulfilment of the common duties toward, a powerful integral monarchy. "To carry out these principles against those who do not respect them is certainly a necessity which I hope, however, to confine within the narrowest possible limit!. " The result will prove the overpowering might of the truth and justice of the principle which I have dated." In conclusion, the Emperor thanked the deputa tion fur the loyal inaniketation of their sen timent& TRIESTE, Sen. 8 The elections to the Diet, which took place yes terday in the communes of the district of Istria, have resulted favourably to the government.

The Nord publishes the following reflections, from a Paris correspondent, in reference to the movement of the French fleet from Bourbon to Madagascar: •sassfloa which passes unnoticed at the present time ia that of Madagascar, and nevertheless ,it is one which ought to have great importance. Queen Ranavido is deau , her ma and legitimate teeeeesaa tr a Roman catholic, and the 441'614re party wis► to reject him and substitute in his place a prime who continues the old barbarous and anti. European traditions. France has so important part to per form in the matter. It appears that the French squadron has gone from Bourbon to Madagascar, and news may there. fore be shortly expected. Would not this be the time to strongly support the kgitimato King, to interfere in a direct manner, as we have a right to do, with the Malgaches and the Hodes, and to resume a strong position in that island which duly belongs to us? With the opening of the Isthmus ci finex, Madagascar will acquire an immense importance. ITALY. The Opinion of Turin explains that the Ave regiments of troops which have been sent to the Neapolitan provinces are to replace certain otker regiments that have boon doing duty up to this time, and which are recalled. Brigandage, it says, is now coseentrated in a very small number of locali ties, and is sure to be extirpated in a very short time. The brigands, now pent up in the fastnesses of the mountains, will soon, it declares, either fall by degrees into the hands of justice, from want of food, or be taken by force. A letter of Alexandria, of the 31st ult., says : " In obedience to repeated invitations, the last of which is said to have come in peremptory terms, Said Pubs has left for Constantinople, to pay the customary homage to the new Sultan. In his present mood for economy the Viceroy's unwillingness to undertake the journey may fairly be attri buted to its enormous espouse. He has been obliged to pro vide himself with a large amount of ready cash, cud it is believed that the wretched system of largess's which pre vails at the Turkish capital will subject him to rentritat tioas to as amount of little short of 200,0C3/., levied by all with whom be comes in contact, from the highest person ages down to the lowest servants of those whose hospitality he may have to accept. His highness sailed from Alexandria last week is the steam frigate Siagtoet-el-liabr, cud was expected to be absent some 20 or 25 days."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova own consomme.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. A correspondence from Turin, addreeaed to the Journal des Debate, asserts that M. Benedetti has asked for explanations from the Italian govern meat relative to the invasion of certain frontiers of the Roman States by Piedmontese troops, and that M. Iticasoli replied that he bad not authorised any commanding officer to cross the frontier. The Mats thinks the incident less important than has been supposed. It explains that the frontier line is so indistinctly marked between the enemies, both of whom perhaps have a lunging to oome to blows, that mistakes are almost napes 'able not to occur. According to this correspond ence, moreover, the court of Rouse has deliberately echeloned Pontifical soldiers in such a manner as to raise difficulties and create agitation in the Marches and the Umbria. The Papal reaction wishes to turn to the best account all the dibria of brigandage that remains, and will encourage the landing of reinforcements for the brigands wherever practicable. As a commentary on the above news, which occasions some sensation, I notice • telegram stating that General de Goyou has received orders to oppose any Piedmonten invasion by force. The Messayer de Bayonne says that Marshal Nar vacs has arrived in that city, " accompanied " by General Mareheei, on a complimentary mission from the Queen of Spain to their Imperial Majesties. As the Moniteur of this morning speaks of General Marchesi alone as being charged with the mission, the above news must be considered doubtful as far as Narvaez is concerned. It nay be trne, however, that ho is at Biarritz, and that fact alone may be not without importance. _ _ _ K Fabiani, the Corsican advocate and jour nalist, who is under a 'sentence of three mouths' imprisonment for a libel upon the imperial pro cureur of the island, has just arrived in Paris, intending, doubtless, to try his influence at head ouarters against that of the local functionary with a how he is at war. Before leaving Corsica ho re ceived all sorts of ovations. The Council-General, of which he is a member, would not assemble in sufficient numbers to make up a meeting as long as M. Fabiani was absent, and when he came they elected him reporter in a very important case, and although he is a young advocate, only twenty-nine years of age, they went out of their way to order that his report should be printed and distributed in all the communes of the department. His ap peal to the Imperial Court of Bastes will be argued by an eminent member of the Paris bar, specially retained, and the local excitement in his case is so great that the government cannot choose but con sider with considerable anxiety whether the system of riding rough-shod over private individuals can be prudently upheld in the present instants). Last night:, at half-past 11, a collision took place near Douai, at the point of junction with the Valenciennes line, between a passenger and a goods train. Happily the consequences were not serious; live people received contusions, but so slight that they were able to oentinue their journey to Paris. The Pays announces as " latest news" that a part of the French land forces in China will provision ally be sent to Cochin China, the marines in the latter place not being sufficiently strong for the duty required. The Pariscr Zeitlouj states that Mdlle. Laura Durand, a crowned pupil of the Conservatoire, is engaged at the Grand Opera, for the ensuing season. LIFE IN CAPRERA. Tho Mori/mato gives the foliowiug description of life in Camera, under date of Sept. 2: " Garibaldi is improving in health every day. On the morning of the 31st of August lie win able to leave his bed. His first business was to pay • visit to his little farm, and to dismiss, with many thanks, the two persons who kept guard over his person-s guard which he said be believed to be unnecessary, u he bad so many friends around him. Gel. Trecchi is with him os a visit, and with no official mission. Letters from the island enable us to give a strong denial to the report that a perfect understanding existed between gicaeoli and Garibaldi. The general is not at present engaged on political affairs. The island, since the arrival of his Teretita has become a very pleasant spot. Garibaldi is more gay than tonal, and be communicates his own joy to his guests. The day is 'peat in promenades, reading, baths, and boating. Is the evening the family assemble in the saloon. Speochi plays the piano ; Termite sings ; and the general calls for those airs which are most deeply im puted as his memory. As this quiet family life is deer to his heart, he intend+ sending for his second son, Ricciotti, wise is at present in Switaerised. At his father's request, Iffinetit, his eldest son, has just embarked on the postal boat far Geom. Garibaldi is much gratified at the long list of reward+ which have been conferred on the +dicers and soldiers of the volunteer army which he commanded." AUSTRIA. The Press of Vienna, in commenting on Baron Rioarooli's circular, after noticing the panang•es in Which the Italian minister states the moony.- niences attending the French occupation of Rome, asks that a national policy may be at length adopted towards the kingdom of Italy. It observes : la reality, the French occupation is not sufficiently jus tified by the necessity of proteming the Pope ; it as have no other motive than to obtain further territorial coucisesieos as the prise of consolidating the situation of Italy. Id. Iticasoli has not distinctly said so much in his despatch, but it is easy to see that be means it. If we had in Austria • foreign policy dictated by the real interests of the country and sot by pejo. dices, it would take advantage of o these dispositions of Italy, so favourable to the situation of Austria. Anxious only to obtain a solid peace, Austria would go to the aid of the ca binet of Turin, end renouncing all chimerical pretensions, would oscura the gratitude of the Italian 000stitutiowal party, which will guide the destinies of Italy so long as M. Ricasoli remelts a the had of affairs. Let it not he ob ' jotted that each • policy would not suit the reel interests of Austria. No doubt it would imply • complete nip ' tare with the traditions ot her It policy ; but no one is su blind as not to see that sootier or later that course must be adopted. Whilst with our present Italian policy, we should have no allies in case of a war, and have all liberal Germany agtr o s the armed reeistance of France, and perhaps of ' also, the polim we recommend would procure us the alliance of England, would aid Italy in escaping from the leading strings of France, and would thus give us solid guarantees for our position in Venetia, that is to say, for the permanence of the peace which we so much toed. Owe Italian policy is the sole obstacle to the noglo-Anatrian alliance, the only cause of our external insecurity. It keeps us in suspense between peace and war, between life and death, and is the cause why even the friends of Austria begin to doubt of the possibility of her existence, TEL MASONS STRIKE. —The following is a copy of the official circular lent out by the Executive Council of the Komi Pettily, calling th e man o ff from th e coun t ry works of the London hour-paying masters : "Bristol, Sept. 5, 1861.—T0 the masons in the employ of —, builder, of ' , endow—Fellow Workmen,—lt Dow becomes the duty of the Executive of the Operative Mamma' Society to call on yon to suspend labour, as recently decided by the society, on all works in the provincee under the cootrul of the metropolitan builders who am enforcing the pernicious system cf payment by the hour in their Loudon workshop,.

The following were reported to the London committee oo Satin , day even* . —64 rase and boys heal Mr. Myers' works, at Heller Hospital : about 50 from the works of the same firm, at tiox Somerset ; 1K men from a job of WAITE Trollope, at Warwick ; and 14 men from Mean. Holland and Nausea's job, at Bulstroda.park. These, it is said, commies all the mamas employed at these works. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. These gardens are rapidly approaching com pletion. The great cascade and the fountains at the ends of the canide are nearly finished. Several additions to the embellishments have recently been made. Four lovely allogorical statues, executed in terracotta, representing strength, temperance, justice, and truth, which were lately presented to the society by H.R.H. the Prince Consort, are being placed on pedestals at the sides of the eltrance and exit of the maze. They are designed in a sitting posture. Strength is emblematised by • female with • very charm ing expression of firmness on her countenance. She leans on a club, and is draped with • lion's skin. Temperance lours • bridle ; Truth • mirror ; and Justice rests her hand on the book of the law. It is understood that these figures were selected for his royal highness by H.R.H. the Crown Princess of Prussia. Two of Ranch's magnificent Victories, nine feet in height, exe cuted in bronze, have lately arrived; they were designed for hie Majesty the late King of Prussia, who, with charac teristic liberality, allowed the artist to repeat the work for others; these are now being pieced on their pedestals so as to be in position before the show on the 11th instant, when in addition to other attractions the bands of the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery are to per form. The society have given the public at their various shows and promenades during the past season the opportu nity of he.ineg and pronouncing upon the boat military bands stationed in Loudon ; the two which are now to per form are more rarely beard in Loudon from being stationed at some distance, Chatham and Woolwich—they are inferior to none in excellence, and in numbers greatly superior to any. An interesting addition to the cootenta of the conserva tory is a case for • large number of tree frogs, now arrived. These little creatures furnish the beat means that could be devised for keeping • conservatory or house free from insects. The merit of toads in this capacity is well known, but many people look upon them as unsightly and disagreeable, while the little tree frog is so pretty and delicate in its form, hue, and motions, that instead of being • disagreeable object it is an especial favourite wherever it can be procured. They are fueed in all quarter a of the world, and all bear • great resemblance to each other and the leaves of the trees among which they rest. The species now in the Horticultural Gardens is from the south of Europe. THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1862. All, eveu to our moat distant dependencies. are making such efforts to be well represented next year as almost apparently to aurpaw the interest taken in the, scheme at house. The Ca adian government has voted 4000/. towards the expenses of properly representing that grand colony •Ca Colony will give 5,000/. ; British Co. 'amide, ,• Queensland, 2,0001. ; Tasmania, 2,000/. ; 1 New South Wales, 40004, and 5,C30/. for m exhibition of gold • Victoria gives 10,0001. • New Itrusewick 1,600/. ,• dish Guiana, 1,0001., and proportionate sums will be voted by nearly all the other colonial legislatures throughout the world. For the lest time the English public will see a pro perly erranged sad classified exhibitioa of the various de posits d the precious metal, the discovery of which has is ten short years raised Australia from the position of nu out lying colony and convict depot to a series of powerful and wealthy stake. It is not to be a mere display of nuggets ; on the contrary, the nuggets that are to be sent as specimens are to be limited in weight to box. It is to be a display not only of the various forms in which the rich auriferous yield is found, but also of all the machines and implements by which it is worked at the diggings. Thus there will be gold earth and gold Nand, with the method of washing it, gold quartz of every grade of richness, from Sox. to the ton till the lumps of metal at last emerge in in erupt ion of pure nuggets upon the surface at the earth. Towards this display New South Wales gives 5.0001., and the settlement of Victoria 5,0001, with 5,000 i. more for the general purposes of exhibitors. Mr. Rutherford Al. cock is sending home a superb collection of specimens from Japan, principally of China lacquer ware, and textile fabric.,with scientific and agricultural implements, raw products, Sic. To this display her Majesty will contribute from the Windsor armoury the magnificent weapons and armour which were lately sent to her as a preaeut from the Tycoon. Our Indian empire was last time represented by the display put forth by the company. This ti me Dr. Forbes Watson is entrusted with gathering together Fraud collection of the staples of that great empire, sad It is said that the collection will be one of the meet valu able and most varied that has ever been brought together. The Indian empire does not come within the apace suiigned for the colonial display, but will, as in 1851, have a separate court to itself. In all, 12,000 feet of horizontal space has been given up to the colonies proper. Judging from present appliiatious st least twice that amount is demanded and expected, and the commissioners apparently will have to en large the area at first decided on. There is not one-fourth more space for exhibitors than in 1851, yet about ten times the amount is wasted. England sloes has sent in demands which amount to twice the contests of the whole structure, and Francs complains that she has about a tenth of the space ro:ad for what she roust exhibit. 12th of February next has been fixed on as the date when exhibitors may begin to rend is their objects, and the commissioners will receive them from that time till the 0011 of March. After March nothing whatever will be admitted either from home or abroad, no matter from what cause the delay may have arisen. There will thus be one clear mouth, during which those in charge of the building can proceed nointerruptedly in the proper arrangement and display of all the works of arts sad mawidactures. TIM FORTHCOMING CAD'? REVIEW.—On Satur day evening a strong muster of various of the Middlesex corps midst companies took place at the Regent's-park Barracks, Albanydrtreet, to go through battalion drill, this being the last time for that purpose previous to the grand review, in which they take part at the Crystal Palace at Sydenbam on Wednesday next. The novel and ante-eating sight of these juvenile volunteers attracted a large concourse of spectators, and the military style in which they executed their evolu tiros elicited much admiration. The cadets of the follow• ing corps will take part in this review :—The 33rd, the nod, the 20th (Melodist; the Metropolitan), the 2nd (South), the 29th (North), and the 7th and 40th Nkldlento ; the tad , the 4th, and the Gth Tower Hamlets ; the Douro Hones School (St. Joho'rwood); the lst &inv. the 3rd sod 13th Kent ; and the London Rine Brigade.

THE TERRIBLE RAILWAY COLLISION AT KE.VTISH TOWN.-ANOTHER DEATH. CORONER'S INQUEST. (THIS DAY). This morning, shortly after 10 o'clock, Mr. Humphrey% coroner for Red Mildlows (acting for Mr. Weeley, coroner for the western division), resumed the inquiry into the cause of this accident, at the St. Pancr.ts Vestry Hall, Camden Town. The summoning officer at once announced the death of Ruahbrook, who died yesterday afternoon at the Unieer. sty Respite]. Mr. Metcalfe again appeared on behalf of the London and North Western and the North London Railway Companies, instructed by Messsrs. J. Carter and G. W. Cleather, of Great (seorgc-street, Westminster, solicitors to the former company ; Mr. Brayeres, and other officials of the c•mt. panies being also present to watch the proceedings. Mr. Lewis jua. (Lewis and Lewis) again appeared on behalf of .Mr. English, injured, wife killed, and child in. jureth. Mr. C. Wilson, of West Hain, on behalf of the friends of Mrs. Allen, kill Pd. Mr. Hubert Wood, for Mr. and Mrs. Ramplin, injured. Mr. Wyatt, for the friends of the widow and friends of the deceased Hills. Mr. Weller, Philpot-lane, on behalf of Mrs. Ward. injured. Mr. Park also amain appeared on the part of Rayner, the KeLtish. town signalman. Colonel Tolland also again attendod from the Board of Trade. On the opening of the proceedings, " ' Mr. Park, addressing the coroner, ',aid he uodentood there was a Indy on the Kentish-town platform at the tim♦ when the collision occurred whose name was unknown, and he hoped the press would give publicity to the fact, so that she might be induced to come forward, u she could give evidence on behalf of his client. The Coroner said he had received information of another death, but ho did not intend to go into that today, as from the state of other sufferers there might be one or two wore deaths, so that it might be necessary to go to the bcepital tomorrow. [The additional death thus anummeed is that of Benjamin Rushbrook.] There was a statement that there are three persons missing ;and if the press would give publicity to this fact, it might be advantageous. Mr. Grout (who appeared for the Hewitts) said— This was a mistake. The parties were not missing, but one of them, Mrs. Kent. is seriously injured internally, and we cannot say how it may terminate. . . The Coroner—l am glad they are not miming, at all events. Mr. Metcalfe—You will allow me to make a remark. It has been stated that attempts have been made by the three companies to juggle the public and shirk responsibility I appear fur all three companies —the North Western, th l ; North London, and the North and South Wert Junction— and I am instructed on their part to say that there will be no attempt to evade responsibility. The companies will settle that among themselves, and there will be no evasion of any claims which anyone may have upon them. • The Corouer —I will take care of that as far ea this inquiry goes Chas. Freak, Acacia-road, St. John's-wood, gentleman, was the first witness called. He .aid--On the 2nd Sept. I was a passenger from the Hampstead-station to Kentish. town by the 6.30 train from Kew. I think we arrived at the Kentish-town station at seven minutes past 7. There was a very evident hurry to get us out of the train at Kendal-town station, and I had to lift a lady and soma children out of the train. I wish to add that that train was most indecently crowded. Coroner—We do not go into that. Did you notice any. thing about the shunting, Witness—When I got down from the station to Conlon hcnee-lano I saw an engine, alter giyieg one shriek, go to the opal station and attach itself to about 20 trucks, and I was so struck by this, as I had seen what bad been going on at that station, that I said to two young Ladies who were there, "This is perfect madness." The engine connected itself and I went on, and directly after I heard a cry that the engine had gone over the embankment. 1 ran to the scene dinctly, and found that the one ue had run into the ballast train. Corooer—l don't see that you have told us auything yet of importanc3 to the inquiry ; did you see anything of the gifluabl! Witness—No, I did not. Coroner—Then I will ask you no more questions. Rev. Ceo. Allen, incumbent of St. Thomas's, Heming. ford-road, Islington—l was a passenger in thu o:carrion train from Kew, with an ordinary ticket. We loft Kew, I should imagine, about • quarter to 7. I notioed two ar three violent jerks on the journey both ways, but thought that was only from crossing the points. We came through the tunnel apparently at very great speed. The Coroner—The tunnel is between the Hampstead and Finchley-road stations The Witness—Yes. At the time of the accident I felt • very great jerk, followed by a series of crashes, and when the carriage 1 was in, which was the fourth, rested, I found it was hanging over, and with a young friend I climbed out of the window, and got on to the corner of the bridge where I mew people standing about and how the carriages were. By the Coroner—l cannot state bow the accident hap. paned. By Mr. Perk—l wu sitting by the window, but did not notice anything as puling the station. By a Juror—l heard a whistle, but cannot say which engine it came from. Jamcs Morni—l am station mailer at Kew. On the 2nd ipteniber a regular train left our station at 6.81, its proper time. She did notcarry any extra tailboard or light. After that I started the excursion train at about half a minute to 7. It consisted of • tank engine, and twelve carriages— first and second clams mixed. Scott wee driver, Bolton fire. men (since dead), and Bridges guard. Scott, I have heard, is still confined to his bed ; Bolton is dead ; and Bridges still in the hospital. My instructions with regard to the excursion trains were in writing, and I now produce them. The Coroner read the paper handed in. It stated that excursion truism would leave Bow for Kew no Monday, the find inst., times uncertain, but that the lint might be ex- pected to leave at 9.30 a.m, and that the train., would re turn in the evening from 8 to 9.30, and might be expected to arrive (blank). It was signed, "flitch." Coroner—As the instruction stated that the trains would leave Kew from 8 to 9.30 p.m. wall you explain why you started one at 7! Witness—On amount of the pressure of people arriving. I gave instructions to the gnus' to stop at the Edgeware road to put down some excursionuna there, there being excursions front Filgeware•road and Kim/eland that day as well u from Bow ; and it was on the Ealgeware.road tickets that the train was to return at 7 o'clock. Covouer—Have you one of them tickets! Witnem—No. I have not. Corooer—Well, did you tell the guard he was starting before hie time? Witness—Yen; I think I told him be Inn an hour before Lis time. . . . I Coroner—Did you telegraph to the other stations! Witness-1 have no telegraph. Coroner—Did you communicate with the up lines? Witness—l have no communicatiou ; but I felt perfectly safe, as 1 knew there was nothing to follow till 1 started myself, and at that hour the line is always clear of ail other traffic between me and Willesileo. I knew nothing about the state of the line above Willesden. lam in the employ of the North and Su•tth West Junction. The first telegraph station is at the Willesden Junc tion. 1 have been in the employ of the two companies for 11 years, and have been four years at Kew. I started the next train at 7.40. It was an onlinstry and the next excursion train dial not start till 10.45, having got information of the accident about a quarter of an hour before from the driver of a special train of empties that came down for excursionist.. The guard of the excursion train which I started at 7 o'clock, I told, I believe, that he was an hour before his time ; but I took no other meetly of giving that information—it is not customary for me to do so. Coroner—ls it usual for you to start trams contrary to your instructions! Witueiei—That depend. upon circumstances—upon the influx of passengers ou Sundays and Mondays, our busiest days. by Mr. Park—lf the excursion train took only seven minute* to get to Kentish-town, it wail an extraordivary rate of speed. As a general rule, we do not affix tail boards. It is only done in cams of emergency, and 1 was not certain of starting an excursion train before the next ordinary train in this instance. The break vuu of the ex cursion train was open in front, but I did not notice that the guard had any friends iu the van with him. We sometimes put other people in the break-van when the train is over full. By Mr. Lewis—l gave the guard no instructions as to time. He saw the start of the regular train, as his train was in the ',Wing at the moment. I have no knowledge of trains on the line. I know that they hare paaienger trains, but ballast trains I know nothing about. The number of trains I had to start between eight and balf•pset line, according to my instructions, would depend upon the number of passengers, em the ex cursionista bad the privilege of returning by the ordinary trains from a ticket belonging to the Edgware-mad Excursion, which was called the " Drum and Fife Band," on which it Was stated. "To return at 7 o'clock," but we have no 7 o'clock train. The tickets wore issued, not by the oompaoT, lint by the parties who got up the excursion. Mr. Hitch is Hr. Chubb's assistant, Mr. Chubb being 'monthly to the North London. Be Mr. Grout—l think the distance front New to See• tisli . Town is right miles, and the train leering the former ! 130 Big tro It do
