On Wednesday the coroner of Brietiol, J. B. Grindosi, te l ., held an inquest on the bodies of William and tirolintiAsuoilets, who died from suffocation. The One witness was Elizabeth Massa, a widow, residing* at No. 3, flarniltoueourt, Thouneetreet, who said that William Saunders was about 35 or 36, and his wife 38 years of age. They lived at No. 5, Haimilton.court. On the evening of the List day of the old year she met Mrs. &un den returning from Temple-street with three loaves. On Tuesday morning a person knocked at their door, and getting ' no answer, she (witnees) also knocked. That wee about half•pet sine. She opened the window, and observed that they were in lied. She became alarmed, and a policeman was sent for. John Harding, a young man, a coilier, stated that he was a son of the dammed woman. He wee at their house be tween tine and ten on Monday evening, and remained there about three-quarters of an hour. They both appeared in tFtr it usual health, and his mother said she was about to visit her sister at Bedminster on the following day. Policeconstahle '%M stated that he went into the de cement house on Tuesday morning. The dour was locked and bolted. lie opened tt and found the bedroom closed. On looking into the bedroom he anion something, which was marl, stronger when be entered the room. He thought it was in... The bodies were lying in bed, the nada night arm bung over the liOnlan's waist. The coroner and jury then proceeded to Hamilton-court to new the bodies. The public pavement underneath the window was found to have been broken up, and even at that time there ws, a strung smell of gas from the mateide, apparently tonnes from the disturbed pavement. The house itself a of only one story, and consists of two rooms. The room opening into the court was occupied as a sitting-worn, and also opened into the sleeping apartment. This room is exceedingly low, of small di menasow, and without a fireplace or chimney. The body of the man lay on a table in the sitting-room, where it had been placed for the purposes of a post-mor tem examination, and that of the woman remained on the bed, in precisely the same position as when it was tint discovered after death. On the return of the jury to the inn, Inspector Alexander said that he hail informed the ps company of the occurrence, and they had had the pavement opened. Mrs. Hazell, recalled, stated, in reply to Mr. A. Britten, who watched the ease on behalf of the Bristol United Gas Company, that she never heard of any escape el pa until Sunthy night. Mr. Walter Fiddes, engineer to the Bristol United Gas Company, stated that, In consequence of an application from a police-constable on Tuesday, he sent Ines to cpen the pavement. The neighbours told him that there was an es cape of gas, and he heard that this occurrence had happened through that. It hail not yet been ascertained whether there was any escape of pa. Inspector Alexander—iVe set fire to it outside before we sent for you. Mr. Fidiles—l was not aware of that. Police-constable Barnard, 242, said that thr earth was re moved on Tuesday night between 9 and 10. He found that the gas would light outside the window, close under the walls of the window; and when the stones were removed a lamp situated about 11 yards from the house went out. The window of the house was particularly weU closed, and a oork and linen had been placed in apertures of the window to exclude the smell or cold. Mr. Gardiner stated that he had made a port•mortem examination of the body of the man. He opened all the cavities. The lungs were perfectly collapsed, and the brain was congested. He believed be died from suffixation. The Coroner—Suffocation is generally effected by some poisonous air, I suppose. Witnesa—Yes. The Coroner—Do you consider that the party died from poisonous air! Witness—l do. Coroner—Assuming that a gas pips was broken in the immediate a icinity of the window, and that an 'nape of gas had taken place from it, do you consider that th►t of itself would be sufficient in a close room to occasion the death of William Saunders ? Wl:oda—Most certainly.

Yesterday forenoon an accident happened on the London and surtb Western Railway to the Scotch mail train, con sisting of first and second class carriages, which in the ordi nary course of things is due at Easton-square et 11 a.m. Like several other accidents of recent occurreoce it is al leged to have been owing to the frost, and although fortu nately it was unattended by any fatal consequences it might have led to the most disastrous results. The train left Glasgow as UMW at KIT on Wednesday evening, and pro ceeded safely as far as the Leighton Junction, where it was due at 9.17 yesterday morning. It arrived there pretty true to its time, and went on towards Layton, being timed to stop next at Watford, at MIS. It passed the Chid dington Junction and the Trips station m the usual way ; but immediately after, and before reaching Berk hampstead, the passengers in the third carriage behind the engine observed a peculiar unevenness in its motion which very much alarmed them. The carriage, a few minutes after, was found to be off the line and was dragged so for sane little distance, when it was ehrowe over, and am other carriage soil a pose-offics van were also thrown off the line, and into collision with that which was before them. The engine was palled up as soon as possible, and it was then discovered that the tire of one of the wheels belonging to the third carriage behind the engine was broken, and that this had thrown the carriage off the ram It was happily ascertained that only one person—a gentle. man travelling in that carriage which was first thrown off the railsti and which was first class—was at all seriously in led, and he was able to go oe to Watford, where he was lft at the hotel, and attended by a medical man, who was unable to say whether one of his ribs was broken or not ; otherwise be was supposed to be uninjured ; and the only other passenger who complained of being hart was a gentleman whose face was bruised, but not to mily:a: extent. A telegraphic menage was at once sent to ad square, and Mr. Broyeree, the superintendent of the southern division of the line, at once proceeded to Berk. hampatewl, between which station and Trine the accident had happened, for the purpose of Inquiring into the acci dent. The line was blocked foe nearly two hours, and the train did not arrive in Landes till sae o'clock instead of eleven. _ _ _ Tug LATE FATAL. BOILER EXPLOSION AT LELIA— The ad re d inquest on the body of Mrs. Langley was held on Wed nesda y before Mr. Blackburn, at the Town-hall It was stated that Mr. Langley wan not able to attend, and was too ill to be examined at his own bowie, and as the servant was riot present, the coroner suggested whether it would not he better to adjourn the inquiry spin without taking evidence, so that they might have those witnesses before them. The jury thought it better to take what evidence they could that day, and then adjourn if necessary, but Mr. Lord. one of the gentlemen appointed to examine the boiler, said it was material that the girl should be preeeut, as her evidence might affect the conclusion to which he should come as to the muse of the accident. There was a tap be low the level of the boiler, over the kitchen sink, and if the girl had turned this tap she might have exhausted the boiler, which would account for the explosion. Mr. He therington, the other gentleman appointed, did not think it necessary that the girl should be present, but the coroner thought otherwise, and the jury on reconsideration decided to adjourn far a fortnight, whim It is hoped that Mr. Long ley may be (=mimed. NO Mr. Langley and Mies Langley are doing well, bat the Etter is ad so far recovered as to justify the medical men in sett* the fractured leg. FATAL COLLIE&T ACCIDENT NEAR LZEDA.— Major Wand, of Manama, the colliery proprietor, has been for some time pest mimed in sinking a shaft on Brown Moor, near Vrhitkirk, lii, with the object of reaching the deep Beestau bed of eesl, which lies at a distance of 200 yards front the surface. At the bye-pit, which is already sunk 190 yards, and which goes by the name of the " New Odd," the minken have been very much inconvenienced by the stream of water which flows into the shaft, and renders expensive pumping-engines necessary. On Thee day morning, a little after seven o'clock, Robert Taylor, • man about 44) years of age, W. Ambler, a young man ri 9D, and the overman, Thomas Greenhow by name, were ea the cradle or half-moon of the bye-pit, on their way to their work at the bottom. The engine had only given • baltatroke when the crank broke, and the three men were precipitated ti the bottom of the shaft. The brake was on, and would probably have the effect of keeping the cr.ulle exactly perpendicular in its fearful descent, but it did not further act in the way of arresting the progress of the men. It is thought that the brake would not bite owing to the slipperier's!' of the machinery, caused by the frosty weather. As moon as possible after the accident, " crabbe," were got into requisition, and Greenhow, who was alive, and had sustained himself in the water, which was five yards in depth, by the aid of a piece of wood, was brought to the surface about eight o'clock. He was In a very exhausted condition, but will be fully recovered, having sustained no severe bruises, in the course it a day or two. At nine o'clock the bodies of Taylor and Ambler were also brought to bank, and as they were not disfigured by their fearful fall it is thought they must have been eu ffocated in the water. Taylor has lef t a family ; Ambler warn unmarried. _ _ PALACZ. - ONI SHILLING DAY. - Ts UIUIDAY, JAN. 3.—Admissions on payment. 3,54 ; ditto by 'saws tiasta, 1,10.5.—T0tal visitors. 4,640.

It appeared that Mr. Cox, the inholvent's landlonl, had distmined on considerable property, and the attendance of that gentleman was required. The cue was adjounied t.) Wednesday. THE POLICE COURTS. . . MAXSION•HOtSB A well dressed man, named Henry Bell, who was stated to be very respectahly connected, was Yesterday brought before the Lord Mat or, charged with fegniy, under the fol lowing rather peculiar circumstances. The prisonerappeared to be very faint and weak, awl he was allowed to be seated during the investigation. Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, appeared in support of the charge, and Mr. Beard attended on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Wootner briefly opened the came and said that the prosecutors were Messrs. Croesdell, linacksopp, and Co.. wholesale cheese dealers, in Miles - lane. and - they charged the defendant with having defrauded them of their pro. party in a very impudent manner. Having given a brief narrative of the facts the following evidence was adduced. Mr. Frederick ('roesdell de that he carried busi nem in partnership with Mr. ksopp, as wholesale cheese factors m Miles-lane, anal about two months ago the prisoner cs'led epos) him and purchased some goods, for which he pc. al. lie MUM: again and wanted more goods, but in con. tie 1111.,10e cf information witness had received he told him di -dual' , that he would not lot him have any goods unless In Fetid cash for them. The prisoner after this did purchase souse good'', but witness gave the carman instructions tot to leave them without the money, and es the prisoner •otild not pay for them the carman brou,ght them beck. The prisoner came again to the warehouse on Wednesday, and selected goods to the amount of 12/. 24.7 d. : and witness then told him distinctly that he would not let bim have the goods unless he paid cash for them, and the prisoner told him that lie would send the money back by the carman. At the time the goods were sent away he gave the carman an invoice upon which there was a stamp, and gave him strict injunctions not to leave the goods without the prisoner gave him the money. Mr. Beard asked the witness whether the first transaction that took place between him and the prisoner was not to the amount of and whether he did not received that sum from the prisoner, and he admitted that this was so. Richard Rowland, the prosecutor's carman, deposed that be took the goods to the prisoner's shop, in Clarence-place, Hackney, and found hint there and handed hint the invoice, and at the same time said that he had orders not to leave the goods without the money. The prisoner told hint that if he would bring the goods into the shop he would pay for them, and not without. He weed to take the goods into the shop upon that condition, and took them out of his cart and placed them where the prisoner directed him. He then again demanded the money, but the prisoner only laughed at him and mode use of very foul language, and said that now lie had got the goods he would see hint before he would pity hint for them. He then commenced cutting up the bacon he had taken to him, and asked him in a jeering manner whether he should not like to have the goods back again. He waited for about au hour and a half in the hope that the prisoner would pay hint, and at length the prisoner threat ened that if he did not go sway he would kick him out of the shop, and he then went Nick and told his muter what had taken place. Mr. Arthur Brocksopp, the partner of the first witness, stated that upon hearing from the carman what had taken place, he went in the evening to the prisoner's shop, and asked him to pay for the goods. The moment he did so the prisoner ordered him to leave his shop, and made a rush at him, and said that if he did not go he would stab him, and he was obliged to make the best of his way out of the shop. Having procured the assistance of a policeman he gave the prisoner into custody. The witness then stated that upon examining the things in the shop he found that the greater portion of the articles were dummies, and consisted of composition painted over to resemble cheeses and half firkins of butter. (A laugh.) Mr. Beard raked the witness whether it war not a very usual thing for persons in the chesseniongery trade to make use of these durniniesin their business! Mr. Brocksopp repliediCatro;eciessenstegers did so, but he did not like the practice, and his arm made it a rule not to trust persons who adopted the system referred to. Mr. Beard, at the close of the case for the prosecution, asked for a remand, as he said he should be able to prove that there was an miderstandi_ng that the geode were sold upon credit. He also reminded his lordship that it was admitted that goods to a very much larger amount had been paid for, and these would also have been if immediate pay ment had not been insisted upon. This annoyed the pri soner, and had led to his oertautly having acted with indis cretion, but he submitted that the charge of felony had not been supported. He asked for a remand, in order that be might have an opportunity of bringing witnesses forward who would prove that the goods were sold upon credit. The Lord Mayor, upon this representation, consented to remand the prisoner, and allowed him to go at large upon entering into his own recognisance in 80/., and two sureties in 401. each. Snit . °Lance.—The Lord Mayor requested the prom would acknowledge the receipt of 57. 5.. from Mr. George Gurney. LAMBETH. _ _ _ Maria Lang, a young woman, placed at the bar before the Hon. C. C. Norton, on a charge of ste►ling a quantity of wearing apparel and other property, of the joint value of from 10/. to 15/. It appeared that she had for some time a pauper at Lambeth Workhouse, and ob tained several respectable situations, but was too Ism to keep them, and omasionally resorted to prostitution. On Friday, the 3rd of November last, Mrs. Kelly, a lady of much respectability, took her into her service from Isimbeth Workhouse, and on the following day kindly pare her some money to get some of her things out of pled.ge, and also 3s. to purchase some necessaries for the house ; but instead of doing this she absconded, taking with her aa much property as she could conveniently carry. Information of the robbery was given to the police, and on the previous night the prisoner was found in the Princes-road, dressed out in fashionable style in the clothes she had stolen. It was then ascertained that for some weeks she bad been residing in one of the low brothels in Granbv.etreet, Waterloo-road; and on her room there being searched some more of the stolen property was found. Mr. Norton remarked that it was perfectly lamentable to see the state of prodigaoy at which the young women of the present time were arriving, and remanded the prisoner to a future day, to give the constable an opportunity of making further inquiries respecting the remaining portion of the missing property. THA.II.E.

SURPIWTED MCRDLR. AT MUM—At MI early hour on the morning of Wednesday last, the body of a man named William Buono, who resided at a locality chiefly in habited by brickmakers, and known as Botan Bay, about two miles from the village of Erith, foun d in • ditch near the brickfiekls under circumstances whitii kayo no doubt that death was caused by unfair means. The de ceased's bead and face were much cut and bruised, and it was evident that be either fell or was thrown into the ditch before the frost set in on Tuesday night, as be was found completely embedded in the ice. Within • few yards of the ditch the ground, which was frozen over, praisated ap pearances of a severs struggle having taken plies betimes two men, and • considerable quantity of blood and hair was found, the latter exactly corresponding with the hair on the bead of deceased. From inquiries made by the police, it was found that the deceased, who was • berm:man, had been in company with • man of the same clam named James Jeffries, on Tuesday night, at • public house named the Jolly Fermin. Both men left this house toge ther about 11 o'clock, and shortly afterwards they were heard to be quarrelling. Jeffries was yesterday apprehended on the charge, and placed at the bar before Mr. Maude, at the Woolwich police-court, when Poliareondable Corne lius Grainey deposed that he took the primer into custody, and told him that he was charged with the murder of William Moans, when the prisoner been to cry, and said, " Ah, it's • bad job, but I did not do it." The wife of the demand man also deposed that the prisoner resides next door to her house ; and on Tuesday night she heard him open his door between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock. Other evidence was taken proving that the prisoool. and the deceased had been quarrelling at the public-house on the night in ques tion ; and Mr. Maude then remanded theyriscaer fora week.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—DeLoroRD, JA*. 3. —There is a steady demand for wool, at remarkably firm prices ; perhaps there is rather more inquiry than last week. Maplers who have been into the country and trying to buy find it very diflicult to do so, except at prices which they cannot realise with profit in this market. In worsted yarns there does not appear to be any extended opemtionsamoogst the export Louses. They buy very little ordinary, though there to little more inquiry for two-folds. Amongst the home manufacturer., the consumption is much diminished, owing chiefly to the absence of demand for America, and a considerable quantity of machinery is idle in consequence, thus materially lessening the demand for yarns. There is great tirumess in price, as little or nothing is spun with out order. A more hopeful feeling pervades the piece market, and a fair business in passing at present rates amongst the home merchants. Manufacturers are seeking a slight advan c e in price. The fancy makers are to • alight extent employed, though not so Limy as usual at this sewn. Orders for MiteriCA are still withheld, and where not punc tually executed are frequently cancelled. Several circum stances—the Ain unsettled state of foreign politica, the close of the navigation to the north ports, and the rise in the Book rute of discount—have combined to act nnfavour ablJy :pm the market for the Continent.

HIDES AND LEATHER. The market for raw goods does not present any very marked feature during the peat year. The total import carresponds rather closely with that of 18W. The exports show a s lig ht deasase, but they by no means represent any diminished demand for exportation, the principal supplies being drawn more immediately from the producing coun tries. On the contrary, there is no doubt that the require ments of the Continent have greatly increased, and that all calculations for the future of the hide market must recast miss) this fact. The shipment& to the United States have been small throughout the year, cud should the existing depression in prices, which the political excitement has oc casioned, continue, we way expect, at least for a time, to receive hides from that country. Priors of raw goods were buoyant for the first three month., but in June an univer sally lower tendency prevailed. The failures of July doubt less accelerated their decline, but prices in general still afford little margin for profit to the manufacturer. We cannot dismiss our retrospect of the year 1860, without a more distinct reference to the disasters which it has witnessed, and whisk will long make it memorable in the trade. That so gigantic an amount of commercial rottenness should hive existed, and have carried so bold a front for so long a period, nay well have sur prised those unconnected with the leather and hide trades. and have obtained for these trades generally an unenviable notoriety, when to those within their sphere the disclosures excited the utmost ,astonishrneut. Since the publication of the proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy, the only won der is that the witestrophe did not occur earlier. It is, however, important to remember, as we stated in our cir cular of August last, that of the enormous aggregate of the liabilities of the firms that suspended payment, a very small proportion was due in the trade, and that the monied inte rest are the principal losers. We avail ourselves also of the present opportunity to contradict the evidence that has been given, more or less directly, stating that the custom of the trade in represented in the practices that the evidence in bankruptcy has disclosed. That the parties concerned may have had transactions, analogous to other leather factors, we do not dispute; but that the system that has been pur sued of propping up houses that have been brought to hopeless insolvency by a course of excessive overtrudisg, has any representative in any dealings in the leather and hide trade outside the circle of the firma that have failed. we most positively deny. We believe, on the contrary, that the trade in general is in is sound and healthy state, and that the relations of the manufacturers and factors are of an in dependent and legitimate nature. We hope, however, that the lemons which these disgraceful disclosures are calculated to teach will not be forgotten, and that a system which will give to capital and fair dealing their rightful position, will be scrupulously followed ; we may then anticipate great ad vantage from the removal of so much undue competition from all departments of the leather and hide trade.. These misfortunes could not, however, diminish the consumption of leather, which must have been, in consequence of the wet season, %mutually large during the past year. There is also no doubt that the production has been greatly lessened, and that dealers have to the utmost restricted their purchases. The stocks of leather are by no means excessive, and we are therefore of opinion that with restored confidence, the pros pect for the leather trade is more satisfactory than for some time paid.—(From the Circular of Messrs.

THE THREATILNED STRIKE OF COLLIERS IN THE Wesr Rmma.—Our readers will learn with satisfaction that the prospect of a strike of colliers in the Churwell and Gildersome district, which • few days ago appeared very imminent, has disappeared, and that au arrangement having been made, the men continue at work. As we hare already stated, the men asked for an advance of tee per cent., which would be equivalent to an increase of three half-pence per ton upon some varieties of coal, and two. pence or threepence per ton upon others ; in each case the advance being about sixpence per day ; inas much as less cad could be got of the qua lities entitled to the higher advance than of other descriptions. There were other concessions asked for by the men, the most important being that coal should be allowed them for domestic use on condition that they worked it themselves. Various efforts were made to pro cure some satisfactory adjustment of the dispute, but at the meeting of masters held last week, at which a deputation from the Miners' Association attended, the latter intimated that they were not prepared to consent to any moditimtions in their demands. A considerable majority of the masters were of opinion, therefore, that If the colliers would not meet them in • liberal spirit, they would not be justified in making the concessions asked for. The meeting was ad journed, however, until Monday last, and was then held at the King's Arms, Cildeneene. Mr. Thomas Akroyd pre sided, and there were about twenty gentlemen present, re presenting collieries in the Gildersome Drighlington, Mor ley. Churwell, and West Ardeley distriCas. The result of the discussion was, that the masters resolved to concede the advance of 10 per cent., but declined to introduce the practice, which they considered on many grounds objection able, of allowing the colliers to have coal for domestic use for the mere labour of working it. This decision was com municated to the representatives of the miners, and for some time it appeared exceedingly doubtful whether they would accept the offer, which, we understand, most probably would not have been made had not the severe frost which has prevailed for some days set in. Eventually, however, wise counsels prevailed, and the terms offered by the mas ters were accepted. The men continued at work, and the meeting, which had been adjourned to Tuesday, to consider the course to be adopted by them, was of course rendered unnecessary by this step. We believe that at their meet ing on Monday the masters resolved to increase still further the price of coal.—Leeds Mercury.
