TO OUR ItIADERS. --~ - BPOSTLXO INTELLIG ENCE. ♦ late edition of the Express im published every waning daring the racing season, containing the moults of the day's races. TM+ is certainly the era of great public loans. It was only the other day that the French nation subscribed to a nominal amount of more than 90,000,000!. on account of a loan of 6,000,000/. for railway purposes, the operation following closely upon one for a similar object, but of still larger amount. The Italians are at this moment putting down their names for 20,000,0001. of stock. The English public have just subscribed more than 21,000,0001. iu their eagerness to get 4,000,0001. of India Five per Cents. Almost before the ink of this contract is dry, the INDIAN thicarrmir intimates that he cannot get through the recess with any comfort of mind unless he has in his pocket parliamentary leave to issue 5,000,0001. more. At the same moment, the Colony of Victoria, having sent over Six per Cent. Bonds of the nominal value of 2,000,0001., created for railways, authorises her agents to put 1,000,0001. of the amount on the market, which they do in a bungling manner. The next transaction of the kind to which the public are requested to give their attention is quite as striking as any of these. The 'United States Congress votes, almost with unani mity, a loan of—not ten or twenty, but fifty infl ame sterling (250,000,000 dols.), for the purposes 4Ow war, and authoress the Executive to take immediate steps to refine any portion of it, up to 20,000,0001., in foreign countries, that is to say, chiefly in (heat Britain, whore the interest is made payable, and where an ample market for the new stock is to be constituted. This is to be, in fact, a United States Federal Loan in starling money. The magnitude and frequency of these applica tions to the European money market suggest some anxious reflection. When capitalists are asked to fling their accumulations thus by wholesale into the collecting plates of petitioning governments, the lint question that arias is—ls the money to be applied to useful or legitimate objects? Now, the French and Austra lian loans are for the construction of railways. So is also the Indian 5,000,0001. loan now asked for, whilst that for 4,000,0001. just placed was to bridge over the interval between the deficits left by the mutiny and the financial equilibrium pro- mised in the better time corning. The Italian loan represents in part the cost of the national independence and unity. Adhering to the standard usual in such matters, an observer cannot put his finger on any one of these great creations of public securities and say—" This is the offspring of waste " and recklmeneas : as • matter of principle, the " money ought not to be granted." Then, at the moment when the Americans, the most economical of people, are voting away in an hour sums of a magnitude sufficient to make any financier's hair stand on end, are we to say— have we the power to say—that they must them.. selves provide all the funds requisite in this lamentable emergency, and that they shall not have a stiver from us I Deeply as we may de plore this fratricidal strife, regretfully as we may contemplate the utter exhaustion which will in evitably follow its prolongation, we cannot pre tend to say that American unity is worth less than the unity of Italy. And if we could we should be enable to check the free current of capital it must and will flow where it list. It is rather remarkable to witness the calmness with which the Money Market regards these vast operations. America Italy, India, France, and Aus tralia have put out the particulars of an aggregate of 86,000,000 i. of new securities, yet the financial world is imperturbable ; money is declining in va lue; and the difficulty of finding employment for it forms at the moment the staple remark in City Articles. It might be imagined that the proposed diversion of so large a sum from the ordinary channels of commerce, either for investment in masonry and earthwork; or to fill up the gap occa siored by various causes between State revenues and State expenses, would lead to some com motion. But nothing of the kind is witnessed. Financial people here take • very practical view of these matters. They argue that we need not put ourselves out of the way in the least. Italy is herself raising the money elle wants—at least she has not yet put forward a notification of any kind here. What France has just done in the financial way seems to be a mere trifle to her. The amount of the Vic toria Railway loan is, at the most, a bagatelle. Half • dozen capitalists whose names few of our readers probably ever heard of would absorb the whole in • morning and think no more of it. As to the India Five per Cents., the 4,000,0001. just issued is such • driblet in comparison with the constant demand for it, that the holders, though only required to pay 700,0001. in cash up to the present tune, have preferred to pay nearly °sle ben of the entire loan, in order that they may get the stock into their psesse•ion without any further trouble. It is one of the immediate vexations of capitalists, that the additional loan of 6,000,000 L about to he authorised will probably be withheld from them for some months. The 'smug Seers• ?ARV would unquestionably add to his popularity in the City were he to give it out at once and have done with it. The whole would doubtless be ■wept off the market with almost as much avidity as on the last occasion. When the English public once make up their minds in favour of any particular kind of investment, there is proverbially no stopping them. For • long series of years THE EXPRESS, MONDAY : they were constant in their affection for theme tional Three per Cents., sod went on obstinately buying them at prices which were really quite out of proportion to the rate of interest yielded and to the prices of other securities. They are now altering their fancy, and taking to the India Five per Cents., seeing clearly enough that the differ ence, in point of safety, between an English and an Anglo-Indian government security, is far more than counterbalanced by the great difference in the return. The India loans, therefore, frequently though they recur, threaten no disturbance to the money market. We are disposed to think that, should the English public see fit to entertain to any impor tent extent the American loan proposals about to be submitted, that operation will have more effect on the market than any of the loans referred to above, and this because the exchange between England and America is just in that critical posi- tion in which our buying • large amount of Ame rican stock would entail a fresh efflux of gold. Apart from this, the exchange seems to be gra dually recovering to the point at which remit tances of specie to America will dwindle to • tilling amount or perhaps stop altogether, the more especially as we are now taking diminished quantities of grain and flour, and comparatively little cotton. ;Dc gourt.

PRIISSLA. t A letter from Berlin, dated 26th inst., says : " A few weeks will elapse before Count Berusterff will be installed as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He is actually at Carlsbad, and will first return to Lon don to hand over the embassy to his successor and take leave of her Majesty Queen Victoria. The foreign policy of Prussia will not undergo any change in consequence of Count Bernstorff assuming office. It is fully believed here that the King will visit the Camp of Chalons. It is said that the whole of the cavalry of the Imperial Guard and all the Cuirassier regiments actually at Versailles will be concentrated in the camp. The King will probably remain at Baden till the middle of August." ITALY. The Count de San Martino has written a long letter to Count Gallina on the affairs of Naples. The count thus explains his resignation of the government of that portion of Italy : I had no reason to doubt that the military authority would have acted on the requisition of the political. But it seems it was thought necessary that General Cialdini should be invested with power to act on his own authority, sod to annulall the plans of pacification which I had formed. Indeed, the Minister of the Interior, in sending me the forces which were intended to suppress the insurrectionary bands, directed me in the postscript of his letter to act in this and all other matters on the opinion of General Cial dini ; and in another letter he notidad that the general would act is accordance with the usages of war. I was too well versed in public He not to know what this meant. I knew that generals act according to the usages of war when they have absolute authority, and General Cialdini con. firmed me in this view when he wrote to me on the 10th of July that he exercised similar authority during the siege of Gaeta without the viceroy of that period feeling that his authority was interfered with. I re flected seriously on these arguments, and I can assure you that if in the late innovations it was merely question of per sons that was involved, I would have made that sacrifice to my king and country ; but it was clear to me that the measures adopted by the ministry, however well meant, coostituted a change of system, and, feeling that my mig ration was the only means of enabling the government to repair the fault which they had committed—because if General Cialdini were possessed of the entire powers of the government, it would take ►way from the repression of the bands that character of war which would have produced great evils—l resigned my charge.

At Valparaiso business remained without im provement. There was little demand for exports. Money was difficult to procure, and no discounts were made except on the very best paper. Thu elections were likely to pass off without excitement, and it was supposed that Perez would be elected without opposition. The federal forces and Mosquera's army had had an engagement near Bogota, in which both sides lost heavily. The government forces were com pletely routed, and fled back to Bogota. The field was covered with dead bodies, and the Cuartel was full of prisoners. It was reported that Mosquera had marched upon and occupied the city. _ . The news from Bolivia is unimportant.

(ram ova ow PARIS, SUNDAY EMILIIG. The Constitutiontwi, returning to the vexed sub ject of the 30,000 stand of arms in the Roman States, says : The Siiele and Opinion Nalionak have made a great deal of noise about a pretended transfer of arms by the Pontifical government to Francis IL, the which arms were taken from Neapolitan troops who took refuge in the Papal States after the siege of Gaeta. We have made precise inquiries on this subject, and we can affirm most positively that those arms are to this hour in the Roman arsenal where they were lint deposited. " Heaven be praised !" exclaims Le Temps, "there are yet semi-official journals in France. Uno avulse non deficit alter. The confident tone of the above note must be a consolation to minds unsettled by the recent disgrace of the Patric" The Opinion Nationale pertinently inquires how it happens that not only its own correspondence from Rome, but that of the Siiek, the Ami de (a Religion, the Monde, and several other journals and agencies have all spoken of the cession of arms above alluded to as a positive fact "If the Conetitutionnel now speaks on its own private authority, the correction of the news is little worth. If it speaks officially, let it say so ; for it is time that all uncertainty on such a subject should cease." For my own part, I believe that the Coustiter home/ equivocates, and that the truth of the matter is what I sent you yesterday. The arms are not "all" in the arsenal where they were depo sited, but General de Goyou has interfered and prevented Mgr. de Merode from taking any more of them away. The Journal de Cherbourg says it is intended to make a strategetical movement on the coast by means of which troops and munitions of war may be transported rapidly to any point on which an enemy might embark. The projected railway would be aided by the system of electric sema phores already very generally in use on the French coasts. M. Gautier, formerly a professor in the College of Sainte Barbe, and now tutor to the Duke de Nemours' children, was yesterday tried by the Seventh Correctional Chamber on a charge of having introduced into France three copies of the Duke d'Autnale's pamphlet entitled " Lettre stir l'Histoire de France." It appeared that the scholas tic education of the Duke de Nemours' two eons being finished, their father desired to place them at the artillery school at Segovia, in Spain, and inasmuch as they, being members of a proscribed family, could not pass through France, they were sent round by sea. But M. Gautier, who was requested to attend them in Spain, wished to take the oppor tunity of seeing his friend' in Fran°e and accord ingly landed at Boulogne with his luggage, among which there were a great many books and three numbers of the incriminated pamphlet. The court, presided by M. Rohault de Fleury, held, after hearing M. Dufaure for M. Gautier, that the intention to, show the books in France did not sufficiently appear, and it pronounced a verdict of acquittal, directing, however, the confiscation of the three copies seized. General Zabala, the Spanish Minister of Marine, has arrived in Paris. The Pays tells as " latest news" the following story, which does not Deem to me very probable :—" On arriving at Marseilles the Spanish Minister was asked for his passport, and after feeling for it in his pockets be found that be had left it at Baroelona. In order to set an example of respect for regulations, General Zabala went all the way back to Barcelona to fetch the document which he had forgotten !" On the same high authority (that of the Pays) we learn that nothing is yet decided with respect to the rumoured interview between Napoleon 111. and the Queen of Spain in the Basque provinces. General Prim, who was at Vichy, has come to Paris. M. Mon, the newly-appointed Spanish Minister to this court, is expected to leave Madrid for his post as soon as General O'Donnell joins the Queen at Santander. At Trouville, last Friday, a French gentleman named Verdier, who rushed into the sea to aid his wife and another lady who were carried away by the tide, was unfortunately drowned. The two ladies were saved. Henry Pering Pellew Crease, Req., barrister, of the Middle Temple, has been appointed Attorney-G*oml of British Columbia. A letter from Vienna nays:—" Although every day met satisfactoey telegraphic despatches respecting the Empress are received from Corfu, the Emperor has directed Count de Grunne, Grand Equerry, to proceed to that island that he may report to his Majeaty, from personal observa tion, the improvement which has taken place as the health of the Empresa." ••-•• -- - - - A letter from Rome in the Corriere deUe Marche of Ancona, states that the Maszinians have endeavoured to organise a committee in the Eternal City node• the ahalow of Garibaldi's name, which they use without authority ; but that the Roman people show them no favour, and that the National Roman ooinmittee has oven salsa' 400 of Mazz , M's bonds of five earlini each (the carlioo is 40 centimes), which were also being distributed in the name of Garibaldi. A letter from Lindau , in Bavaria , of the 22nD Met., states that two Munich apprentices had jut been ap prehended at the railway station on their way to Italy to awssicase Victor Emmanuel sod Garibaldi. They made no secret of their intention. Loaded revolvers sad 100 dories were found upon than. - - The Espero publishes a letter from Count Ponza di Sen Mortis° to Count Galina, giving the reasons for his resignation of the lieutenancy of the Nenpolitan provinces. They mainly resolve themselves into the government's not having supplied him promptly and in sufficient numbers with troops for the maintenance of order, and its having subsequently sent into the south Comma Cisidini with independent authority for the suppression of disturbances.

A NOVELTY IN MILITARY HYORLYR.—A great deal of scientific investigation as to the causes of the en. *saintly high rote of mortality in our troops, especially in India, has lately been going on amongst the military bygeiats, and the conclusion has been arrived at that it is the water drunk by the soldiers that does all the mischief. The remedy proposed is, that for the future, " John Sentry-box, who never, amongst all his &nits, was accused of excess in his libations of the pure element, is, in addition to its already too numerous and too heavy con tents, to carry a filter in his knapsack. A few marches wider the sultry son of India, thus loaded, is all that will be necemary topic for this bright idea all the popularity it deserves.—United &rake Gazette. _ _ INSPECTION OF THE 20TH MIDDLESEX RIFLE VOLUNTEERA.—Os Saturday erring, at hag= o'cl clock the members of the 20th (North-west) • Rifle Volunteers were inspected in the Regent's Park by Colonel Erskine, Assistant-Inspects of Volunteers.

During the dinner the Doke of Cambridge suggested t Lord Leigh the desirability of there being a review of the yeomanry cavalry of the midland counties at Warwick, or some other plane equally central ; such a suggestion would certainly have his sanction and approval, end he should be gratified to come down and review them if there was a sufficient force got together. His royal highnet - rid that he thought it a very essential thing that the yeomenT7 cavalry of the country should be bet up, and that their efficiency should be greatly increased. Tax RIFLE CONTEST AT WORMWOOD SCUM.— The third day's proceedings opened on Saturday with match No. 5, appointed to take place on Thursday, but which did not come off, fors Westley Richards' title to be shot for at 800 yards, 30 entree. The prim was well oompetcd for, sad the following meths principal scores :—Ensign Dunlop, bodes Scottish, 7 points ; Lieutenant Hawker, South Middlesex, 7 ; Dr. Ryan, ditto, 7; Captain Fenton, We -t Middlesex, 6 ; Sergeant Brooks, 12th Middlesex, 6 ; Captain Bridgman, West Middlesex, 6 points. The ties were shot off, and Dr. Ryan was the rinse . The second competition was for • Lasseter small bore as first prise, and London Armoury Company's rifle as second prize, for which the principal scores were : Mr. Siusdfonl, St. George's, 8 points ; Mr. Sirroue, South Middlesex, 7 ; Lieuteonat Mariner, West Middlesex, 6 ; Mr. Savory, St. George's, 6 ; Mr. Stewart, Inns of Court, 6 ; Mr. Lookysr, Royal Merino', 6 ; Sergeant Byrne, Soot.

These were the only prise competitions shot for duri ng the day, and at their conclusion it was srnoied that the prizes should be distributed on the ground. Captain Fenton, of the West Middlesex, in the absence of Colonel Lindsay, undertook this duty. He could not help congratulating the corps to which he was attached, the West Middlesex (although himself personally unsuccess ful), that one of the principal prizes had been won by • member of that corps, Lieut. Marriner. All, however, who had been engaged had made • good show, and he locked upon the present gathering, coming so min as it had after the great ride contest at Wimbledon, as • peqect sooner; indeed quite as much as could have been expected, although the state of the weather had no doubt oontribated to damage it to • great extent. He hai been reque-ted by Colonel Lindsay, of the St. George's, to present these prizes, and to express the regret of the gallant colonel that Lis absence on such an ammo was wholly unavoidable. THE BUILDIHLB' STRIKE The deputation from the masons. ' committee, who waited by request upon some of the employers on Friday last to discuss terms for an amicable settlement of the dispute, made their report to the committee on Saturday. They stated the interview lasted some hours. They in formed the employers they were instructed to make the terms of the compromise previously offered by the men, vii , 6e. per day of 10 hours for live days, with 3s. far Sa turday, commencing work at 6 sad leaving at 12, the basis of aay agreement. With respect to the terms for the first five days there was no difference of opinion ; but it was pc posed by the employers that the time for leaving work on Saturday should be extended to 1 o'clock, the extra hour being paid for as overtime, or that the hour of com mencing work should be seven o'clock instead of six, leay. ing off at one. The deputation replied that the terms of the compromise had been adopted by the men after mature deliberation ; that in its favour the men had unreservedly given up the demand for the nine hours, and met the employers half way, and that they were not prepared to extend their hours of working beyond 12 o'clock on Saturday, even though they were offered double pay for the extra hour. They also assured the employers the compromise was offered in good faith, and with the desire I to prevent any further disputes, so injurious to both parties, and that they might feel satisfied there was no ulterior object entertained by the men, provided the terms of the compromise were given and acted upon in their integrity, that Sil firms were now paying on the terms of the COMprOLTkillk and that it would therefore be unfair to those firms to make any alter ation in favour of the large employers. The statemente and arguments of the deputation were listened to attentively, and the whole subject discussed fully and calmly. An answer was promised in • few days. The Masters' Asso ciation will meet early this week at Messrs. Cubitt's, Gray's ' inn-reed, at which me.iting, it is understood, the ultimatum of the men will be taken into consideration, and if accepted, as in the opinion of the deputation it will be, the dispute will be brought to • speody conclusion. On Saturday last Mr. Higgs, the contractor for the Chel sea barrack, upon which the Sappers have been employed for the last few weeks, posted up notices on the works offt -- fog employment to 100 stonemasons on the hour system. This, it is believed, Is preparatory to the withdrawal o! the military artificers from the service of the contractor, leaving him to his legitimate meoureas. A Naw Hawn': as BLatimmtlaaa. —The Com mittee of the Corporation GI Lembo for the Bridge-bouse Lands have had under their consideration for some time the best mode of providing for the public convenience, which has been somewhat jeopardised by tho state of the present bridge. After much deliberation they det, -mined to call upon the principal engineers in England for designs for • new bridge, leaving them quite unfettered in their arrange ments and designs. The productions of these gentlemen, and of some rising engineers who were desirous of bringing forward their ideas voluntarily, have been under the con sideration of the committee, who, doubtless, have had enough to think of, since the designs submitted to them are not less than twelve in number, many of them most elaborately drawn, with details of construction. The en. Omen were Mr. Barlow, Mr. Brereton, Mr. C,oodcbild, Mr. Brunlees, Mr. Joseph Cabal, Messrs. E. Bidder and E. Clarke, Mr. It. W. Mylne (grandson of the architect of the present bridge), Mr. Fowler, Mr. Hawkshaw, Mr. G. Reouie, Sir John Rennie, and Mr. Page. Amid such a varie.y of highly creditable designs by men of ackeow ledged talent, the committee were called upon to exercise their best judgment, and on Saturday they finally decided to select the design of Mr. Page, and appointed him the imeneer for its construction. DasTßucrivz Fiat.—Ou Saturday morning, be tween one ud two o'clock,• the, attended with great loss of property, occurred at 211, Oxfordetreet, in the occupation of Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Freukell, fancy repository. The in mates escaped, chiefly by means of the firemaipes. The whole of the premises in which the fire originated are de stroyed, and the adjoining houses considerably damaged.— Another fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Stokes, Bee. borough-place, Harrow-road, Paddington, which it is feared will be attended with loss of life. Mr. and Mrs. Stokes were so severely burnt that tLey were conveyed to Mary's Hospital, when they now remain in a precarious situation.—A third fire happened at Mr. Richard Wil liams's, tailor, No. 21, William-street, Westminster, which was bit extinguished until the shop and contents were destroyed. CITY ELECTION-(TSLS LAY.) This day the nomination of candidates for the representation of the vacancy in the city of London, created by the elevation of Lord John Russell to the peer; age, took place at the Guildhall Shortly before twelve o'clock, which was the hour fixed for the nomination, the hall was opened G. the public, sad was soon occupied, When the two candidates appeared on the hustings sur rounded by their respective friends, they were cheered or otherwise by the peole in the body of the hall. Mr. Western Wood, the li beral candidate, seemed to be this favourite. Mr. Harker having read the writ, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff ARBORS asked for a fair and patient hearing for all. Mr. A. OMR proposed the Right Roo. Mr. Cubitt sa • fit and _proper person to represent them in whams,. (Cheers and hisses.) He was not proposing to them an an. tried man, and therefore he need not prove to them that be was • proper perron to represent the city of London. (Oh They knew bow admirably he supported the dignity of the chief magistrate of the City, and that he alwyse supported the rights and privileges of the City. (" What has that to do with the question!" " Politics only here.") He was well known to them all, and in sending him to jairliament they would put the right man in the right place. On the contrary, his opponent was unk nown and untried. His father was said to have been a good man, and his brother an excellent judge. He had no doubt of it ; but Mr. Wood must be judged of on this occasion by his own merit.. The Lord Mayor, on the contrary, stood oo his tried services and knows merits. (Cries of "Andover I and the 128 votes.") He was consistent in his political conduct and always promoted the commercial interests of the country. The speaker continued to address the hall for some time longer, but the noise was so great that nothing of what be said could be heard. He was sure the Lord Mayor would be at the head of the polL Mr. Osmium Witmer said be bad brown the Lord Mayor for many years sod be hoped his fellow citizens would take into account the great *emcee he rendered to the City, and to the metropolis generally. He regretted that there was so much fear of the Lord Mayor getting is. ("Be is • tory.") It would be found that he bad as liberal sentiments as his opponent.. He invited persons of all parties to the Mansms.house. (" Turtle soup.") He was sure the Lord Mayor would serve them well in the House of Maumee, and promote the interests of the City. Mr. Knaves Honolion, M.P., rose to propose to them as • candidate to represent them in par liament a gentle. man, who, he knew, carried with him the favourable sea. therelts of the inhabitants of London—Mr. Western Wood. (Hear.) He had not a word to say against the private dia. meter of the Lord Mayor, but he was a consistent old tory, and on public grounds he felt bound to oppose him. (Cheers.) Mr. Wood had hereditary claims on the adhere of the electors of London. Hie father represented the City for many years on liberal principles, and he trained that ha son would be returned to-morrow evening at the head of the poll to represent them on the same liberal priocipleh (Cheers.) Mr. W. J. Hatt seconded the nomination. He bad fought the battle of freedom with Mr. Wood's father for 50 years in the city of London, and be was glad that be was there to fight the same battle for his son. (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor . was a most worthy man in private, but he was • ttorry in principles, sad he did not believe that the city of London had changed it. political colours. (Hear.) There being acs other candidate, The Loan Maros came forward to address the meeting, but he was received with so much clamour that it was difficult to bear one word of what he said, He bad been invited to stand for the city of London on the retirement of Lord J. Russell, and the requisition presented to him was so res pectable and numerous, that he felt no h e . illation in resigning blithest for Andover. (Cries of " Wood.") It had been represented that he was hostile to liberal prin. Myles, but he was a supporter of free trade and of every measure which he believed calculated to advance the real isterests of the country. He believed he had done his duty in the past, and if it was their pleasure to return him to. morrow he should endeavour to dolt in the future. (Cheers and clamour.) . . Mr. WOOD then CMG forward, and wan received with great cheering mixed with some slight hiss= from his opponents, which were, however, drowned in the loud demon. aerations of his numerous friends. He thanked them for the kindand enthusiastic reception given to him on that 00. casion. He had already intimated sufficiently his political sentiments and be should not detain them by repeating them now. There was only one point on which he wished to say a word—namely, church rates. The time must soon come when this vexed question must be settled, and it he saw his way to a change of opinion he should ant hesitate to acknowledge his error as readily and as openly as he now avowed the principles he boa (Chem.) He hoped the liberal electors would come early to the poll on to-morrow morning, and assert those liberal principles which had heretofore distinguished the cities= of Lando°. (Cheers.) The show of hands was then taken. There was an over. whelming majority in favour of Mr. Wood. Mr. Alderman nod Sheriff Arises then declared the chow of hands to be in favour of Western Wood, Esq., which declaration was received with cheers and clapping of hand.. A poll was then demanded on behalf of the Lord Mayor, and the proceedings terminated. SMOCKING DEATH. An inquest was held on Saturday, at the reel. deuce of Dr. Headhunt, 20, Grarvenoratreet, by Mr. Lan ham, deputy coroner for Westminster, upon the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Brodhunt. Dr. Brodhurst said that deceased was his wife, and her age was thirty-tyro. Last Tuesday evening they both dined together, after which be went out to attend • meeting. On his eturn, about 10 at night, he found his wife in the drawing-room writing • letter. lie sat with her for a short time, when she told him the purport of the note, and was writing another to • friend, when he left her to go up to his own room to change his coat. Just as he was getting to his room be heard loud cries of " I'm on fire." He rushed dows, and found his wife in the middle of the drawing-room en. 'eloped in names. Her clothes were entirely consumed. and the furniture near her was on tire. She bad on • white muslin dress. She did not seem to have leek her presence of mind, for she requested the rug to be rolled round her and the bell to be rung for the servants, which he did, and extinguished the names about the ;mow part of her person. Immediately the bell was rang three servants rushed in, and he believed the reason of their being so near the door was because his wife had rung the bell be fore for prayers. Unfortunately she had on one of those crinolines made of steel hoops. Every moans were tried to extinguish the fire about and under the hoops with the sofa cushions and other things at head. He also knelt on and tried to compress and break them for the put , pose of putting the fire out, but all without &veil, and they had to be cut off before it could be extinguished. She had been writing with a candle by her aide which had burnt down in the socket, and he believed that she bad tried to reach an envelope from the ease, when the light canght her muslin sleeve. She died about 5 o'clock the following day. Thomas Glasgow, the butler, confirmed his master's evidence, as also did Ellen Fletcher, the nursemaid, who deposed to the difficulty in putting the fire out, owing to the hoops. Dr. Gull, of 25, Brook-street, Grosvenorsquare, deposed so seeing the deceased lady in her bedroom. She was conscious although suffering greatly. She was buret very much on the left arm, also on the right arm and about the beset, face ' and ba ck. She was must extensively burnt about the legs. The deceased Jody never rallied, as the shock to her system was so peat, and she died from the effects of the in juries received. lie wished to say one word with respect to the getting up of these light dresses. If the laundress in preparing those dreams would put a small portion of sulphate of salt or sulphate of soda into the march it would render them perfectly incombustible, at the cost of about one-tenth of a ferthiog per drier. He hoped the press would notice this. He had seen the experiment tried on two pieces of linen, ONO prepared with the sulphate and other not. The one that was prepared was held over a candle, and the flame had no aect" wc consumed. s u Med In th ese cur of the other a it: but directly aeieoce be considered it was shameful that something of this sort was not done tore pvent these arid occurrences. lie. c eand overu hsld it a Gull said, so sudden was the combustion that the figurer' of the muslin dress were left on the floor unhurnt. The Coroner, in summing up, said the suggestion made by the doc tor was • valuable one, and he, too, hoped it would be noticed by the press. He hoped there things would be noticed by laundresses ; for if. iu the present case, some thing of the sulphate had been put into the star ch,: the deceased lady's life might have been spared. If it bad rot beep for the crinoline, too, her life might have been saved. lie thought that she was another victim of the pre• railing costume among ladies. Tho jury returned a ye. diet • That deceased died from injuries received by sod' dental burning."
