After hearing counsel for • Souchet, the Tribunal decided that the telegraph was as much the agent of one party as of the other, and that the res ponsibility must fall on the person sending the message ; t herefore rejected the plaintiff's demand with costs.

HEREFORD, Friday Morning,—Yesterday mo rn i ng a fear ful accident occurred on the M er th yr and Brecon Railway, by which ono life was lost and seve ra l persons seriously in jured, some of whom are not expect e d to recover. It ap pears that some workmen h urr i e dl y got into some empty trucks at the commencement o f a steep i nc li ne w ith out at tending to the break. The wa,ggots started off down th e incline at terrific speed — the foremast was thrown off the rails, s a nd the other trucks comi ng a l ong , a concuss i on en sued, and the whole were s h a tt ere d t o pi eces , the occu pnthrown about in all directions. One of them, named Thomas Griffiths, was killed on the spot, and nine or ten were very seriously injured. One of them has been obliged to have his leg amputated, and there are but slight hopes of his recovery. An inquest was held this morning upon the body of Griffiths, when the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. LITERATURE.

In no respect has the progress of taste among us of late years been more apparent than in the atten tion n , 6 - 7.7 paid to flowers as means of decoration ; the recognition of the superiority of harmonic arrangement over mere rarity or costliness is daily gaining ground ; and among the most elegant of the volumes which have recently been published to en force this is the one before us, Nor is its utility inferior to its elegance. The directions given for the arrangement of fruit and flowers are clear and simple, and they are illustrated by numerous en gravings. As a material for the display of flowers the anther prefers glass. "To my mind," he says, " nothing is equal to glass for the display of flowers, ft uit, and lights, and for these reasons :—lf the flowers are good, they are like diamonds, the setting is almost superfluous; the simpler the vessel, the more beautiful they look; but a silver or plate epergne would be thrown away without carving and variety of form. Porcelain in the same way requires colour and exquisite painting, otherwise the manufacture's skill and the charm of the material are useless. Take a hand some centre-pioce of silver, a group of Cupids beauti fully modelled, a stag hunt, or a halt in the desert; these may be exquisite things in themselves, but they demand so much admiration for themselves that their modest tenants in the upper story are quite overlooked. To indulge the skill of the artist, the Cupids and scroll work occupy the whole of the ground floor and the drawing-room, while the unfortunate flowers are forced into the garrets, where they appear to the least advantage." Nor does the author confine himself to the question of arrangement merely. He also g'ves instructions as to where flowers should be purchased and the prices that should be paid for them; he gives a list of flowers of each colour which are available through out the year, and instructs such of his readers as possess town gardens how to lay them out. Alto gether the work is a very complete treatise on the subject, and to such among our readers as possess decorative taste we cordially commend it. Hymns for the Church of England. Longmans. .... _ _ . The favourable opinion we before expressed of this collection we are now happy to repeat. It has undergone careful revision, the type is excellent, and the volume is handsomely bound. Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Biblio• latry. Translated from the German of G. E. Leasing. By H. H. Bernard, Ph. Dr. Edited by Isaac Bernard. Trubner and Co., Paternoster row. The letters which are here translated were ad dressed by Leasing, in 1788, to the Rev. Mr. Goeze, in Hamburg, and the theological opinions they ex press are of a liberal nature, but their controversial character detracts somewhat from their present in terest. The work also contains an introductory notice respecting Bibliolatry, together with a pre face, in which is given some account of the life and theological views of Lessing. Bacon's Guide to American Politics. Sampson Low, Son, and Co., Ludgate-hill. At the present moment this little work is of pe culiar interest. It gives in a compact form all that need be known respecting the American Con stitution, laws, and statistics. It treats of the " Separate Powers of the National and State Governments," points out the differences between Federal and Confederate Constitutions, and contains a table of the comparative resources of North and South. It gives, in fact, an excellent idea of the relative positions of the belligerents, and, as a book of reference, It will b. found of great fiervicp. The following extract from the Declaration of Indepen dence of July 4, 1776, sufficiently justifies the South : RIGHT OF SECESSION. We hold these truths to be self-evident :—That all men are created equal; that they are andnwpd by tha;v with certain unalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving the just powers from the consent of the governed ; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organising its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to eff...ct their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves, by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursu ing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. 7he Nest Hunters. By W. Dalton. Arthur Hall and Co. In this work, which is of the same character as others that have preceded it by the same author, the object has been to describe foreign countries, to picture the manners, customs, and superstitions of races hitherto but little known in popUlar works ; and thus to convey, in an easy end popular mode, information to the juvenile portion of readers. These descriptions, obtained from various valuable books of travel, are blended with fact and fiction, and made interesting, while at the same time they are most instructive. The Roundabout Papers. By W. M. Thackeray. Smith, Elder, and Co. There are few of our readers who have not been amused with the light gossiping, diffusive papers, which appeared in the t-ornhal Magazine, under the title of "The Roundabout Papers." They will, we feel assured, be plcacoa to find that they are now collected together in one lively and entertain ing volume. There are several illustrations, which will add to the attractions of the work. The Mill on the Floss. By George Eliot. Fifth Edition. William Blackwood and Sons. The republication of the admirable tale of The Mill on the Floss in its present form, as one of the seies of the new issue of the works of the author of Adam Bede, will be heartily welcomed. Of the merits of The Mill on the Floss it is wholly un necessary to speak, and we have only to express our sincere gratification at seeing it now placed within the reach of a much larger circle of readers than that to which the work in its first form was accessible. Romantic Passages in English History. By May Beverley. Jas. Hogg and Sons. The younger portion of the reading public will find in this volume some pleasant and agreeable reading. Among other things they will hear how Rahere founded the hospital of St. Bartholomew; how the battle of Evesham was fought and won ; how Queen Anne loved her people ; the doings at Ludlow Castle, and some account of the last of the Lord High Constables. The New Forest ; its History and its Scenery. By John R. Wise. London : Smith, Elder, and Co. We have here a monogram of the New Forest which, in binding and illustration, and in beauty of paper and type, it would be difficult to surpass. Nor are the contents of the volume unworthy of their setting. The history of the Norman Conquest and of Norman rule is written in ineffaceable eh t racters upon the New Forest. It is a standing re cord in perpetuam memoriam. rei. Its glades and alleys are crowded with historical associations, which can never lose their charm to the mind of an Englishman, and which appeal with irresistible force to the hereditary sympathies of our Ameri can kinsmen. Mr. Wise includes in his history the whole district lying between Southampton Water and the Aron, which in the reign of award I. constituted the ambit of the New Forest. This gives him an opportunity of noticing the scenery on the Hampshire coast, and of contrasting it with that of the forest. We have first a graphic de scription of the scenery of the forest, with its an cestral oaks, many in a state of decrepitude, but all displaying the most_lordly proportions. The tree from which Walter Tyrrell's arrow glanced into the heart of the Red King has vanished, and its place is marked by a stone which suffered so much from the enthusiasm of visitors that it had to be covered with a case of iron. There are, however, withot r doubt, some trees still in the forest which resounded to the hunting horns of the Plautage nets. The history of the forest in general follows, and this is succeeded by special notices of the most interesting spots; we have then some very curious remarks upon the human frequenters of the forest, their folk lore, and dialects. The Roman antiqui ties, the geology, botany, and ornithology, are finally exhausted, and the volume is completed with appendices and a very full index. The in terest which such matter is sure to awaken will be enhanced by the engravings with which it is pro fusely illustrated. They have been all drawn on the spot by Walter Crane, and engraved by W. J. Linton, a sufficient guarantee of style and execu tion. We have received a copy of a pocket " French and English Dictionary," by Leon Conte useu (Long man and Co.), which we can commend to favourable notice on account of its completeness and accuracy, and of its consequent usefulness to the student of French, and to all who may have occasion for the use of a work of this description. • 1081 9 21 I 224 70i 70 i 1351 1201 THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. (From the 2 imes' Special Correspondent.) CULPEPPER COURT-HOUSE, VIRGINIA, Nov. 14. This little village is at this moment the centre of attraction for all to whom the Confederacy is dear, for in its immediate neighbourhood are situated the head quarters of General Lee, General Longstreet, and General J. E. B. Stuart. It is the nearest point to Washington reached by the trains running from the South along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad ; and the transportation which was for months laboriously sustained over 90 miles of road to supply General Lee's army when it was stationed beyond Winchester is now effected entirely by the railroad, upon which he has since fallen back. Culpepper Court-house—that is, the Court-house and country seat of the county of Culpepper—ought, strictly speaking, to be called Fairfax, but, in the common parlance of the country side, the name of Fairfax has dropped entirely out of use. The Court-house and the gaol, plentifully filled in general with escaped negroes, tell their own tale. Here, as in so many other places, the old con nexion between Virginia and England is again ap parent. A grant in Virginia was made by Charles 11. to an English nobleman, Lord Culpepper, and here, hundreds of years after all trace of Lord Cul pepper has passed away, and with the fact that such a man ever exist( d known to very few, the county still takes its name from him. It would be inte resting, if it were possible, to disinter the short and simple annals of some of these early Virginian set tlements, and to learn what manner of men com posed them. It would seem that two epochs during the last century were specially conspicuous as having furnished emigrants who settled north and south of the Potomac—the first, the days of good Queen Anne ; the second, the period during which Prince Frederick only son of George 11. was therising sun of England. We recognise the emigration under Queen Anne in such names as the Rapid Anne River, the North Anna River, Annapolis, and a dozen more; while fancy suggests that in the rude log settlements along the Potomac the echo of the great Duke of Marlborough's victories was loyally caught up, many months after they were gained, and his fame perpetuated in the still 'mist ing hamlets of Marlborough and Blenheim. The emigration under Prince Frederick seems to have been also considerable. Frederick County and City in Maryland, Frederick County and Fredericks burg lin Virginia, are among the evidences of it, and it is safe to assert that Virginia has done more than the mother country to keep alive the memory of a Prince who lives for Englishmen only as he is gibbetted in the memoirs of Lord Hervey. Culpepper Court-house lies half-way between the rivers siapietan an Rappahannock. In the woods around it lies the whole of General Longstreet's corps, which, with some slight additions, furnishes an army whose strength is not far from double the strength of that Confederate army which fought the battle of Sharpsburg. General T. E. B. Stuart is at hand, incessantly scouting, reconnoitring, making dashes, taking prisoners. Since he fell back hither from his former headquarters at the Bower he has been perpetually skirmishing with the enemy, impeding or delaying his advance, and harassing him by imposing the necessity of constant vigilance. in one of these recent skirmishes the lock of hair above his ear was clipped off by a bullet. So many similar escapes are narrated by nearly every officer to whom ono speaks that it seems almost absurd to repeat this one. What scents to be considered much more serious by the General is that several of his men's horses have been at_ tacked by lameness, arising from a kind of fancy, or grease in the heels. It is presumed that this is caused by their having been fed chiefly on green corn for many months past, and it is understood that a similar lameness prevails among the Federal horses. But where, in the meantime, is General Stonewall Jackson ? Who can say ! All that is known about him is that he has not crossed the Blue Ridge ; that he rarely sleeps twice in the same camp, and that if he can be said to have any head-quarters, they must lee loosely defined as being in the neighbourhood of Front Royal. But since General Longstreet's corps fell back to Culpepper, General Jackson has advanced to the extreme end of the valley, close to the Potomac ; and, appearing one morning in one of the Gaps of the Blue Ridge, impending over Loudoun County, he put his hand upon an outpost of 104 Federals, and retired with them in his grasp over the moun tains. From that moment up to the hour of the suspension of his command, Gen. M'Clellan seems to have known little rest or peace by reason of the Puritan general impending over his flank and rear. Even before Gen. M'Clellan was recalled to Wash ington he had commenced his retreat, which has been continued ever since, until the Federal army has put the Rappahannock between itself and its enemy. Indeed, so guarded and cautious has from the commencement been Gen. 111‘Clellan's advance, that many Confederate officers have always held that he had no real design of advancing in that direction upon Richmond, but that he was merely making feints and engaging attention, and satis fying the Nemesis of the Northern press, while a more formidable blow wasbein g prepared elsew here. How far this may be true it is imp ossible for us in the Confederate States to say. It is known he r e e o are s t, a that a large force is still at rumours of operations on the North Suffolk, Carolina and and of Weldon, or some ad j oinin g station, being t threatened from the South. There seems such universal expectation in the Confederacy that the next serious attack upon Richmond will be made to the south of the James River, be it through Suffolk or throuth North Carolina, that Geaeral M'Clel lan's recent advance has excited very little interest, because it was not believed to have been in earnest. Now that he has for several days been falling back, languid speculation is aroused as to whether he will drop down the Potomac.to Fredericksburg, or carry his men to the North Carolina coast; for I should add that in the Confederacy General M'Clellan's suspension is not for a moment believed in. This opinion I own that Ido not my self share, but there is hardly a Confederate officer but is aware how much more formidable a Federal army is commanded by General M' Clellan than it commanded by any other Federal General, and therefore the Confederates ca nnot be made to b elieve that this fact is not eq ually patent to the Federals. My own impression is that the day which deposes General M'Clellan and puts General Burnside in his place is the brightest for the Confederates since the commencement of this weary struggle. Dis likes, the Fede ra l s , as fi g hti ng ma terial, i l, a t wrenhoot to be compared to their opponents. No one has for months past been better advised of this than General M'Clellan, and it is generally believed here that since the battle of Sharpsburg he has said that he would not again fight General Lee unless he was certain he had four times Gene ral Lee's force. But if a brave and rash officer, without much head, like General Burnside, leads his faint-hearted troops into a great battle in tho heart of Virginia, it is safe to predict that we shall at la►st be in a fair way to see that " crowniag vic tory" gained by the Confederates which is prayel for night and morning by so many weary, earnest souls throughout the ConteL'eitey. Possibly the resumpilcu of supreme command by General Burn side may gratify the ardent longing entertained by the Confederates in favour o£ a large Federal advance through Virginia; but I can hardly bring myself to believe in it. A long scouting ride yesterday,iin company with General J. E. B. Stuart, in the direction of the little village of Jiffersontown, lying about 15 miles north of Culpepper Court-house, revealed to us the rear of the Yankee army rapidly falling back and fighting loosely es it retreated. The woods just be-. yond Jeffersontown were for some time filled with the enemy's sharpshooters, and it was difficult to force them from their cover. Seldom has so much powder been burnt with so little effect. On the Confederate side not a man was wounded ; the only animal that I saw touched was one horse, who got a buckshot above his nostril. It may be presumed that the Federals escaped with as little damage. It is scarcely necessary to add that the normal artillery duel in this instance, protracted for less than a quarter of an hour, was as barren of results as usual. One of the lessons of this war, in which field artillery has been employed to an unpre cedented degree, is that while the moral effect of artillery, especially upon undisciplined troops and among trees, is very great, the actual results at tained thereby may be stated as nil. Of course I am not speaking of artillery employed when the fighting is at close quarters, and grace and canister and shrapnel are used against masses of men. But these artillery duels, which point many a corres pondent's letter and fill many a reader with awe, seem usually to be as bloodless as though they were conducted with blank cartridge. It is doubtful s w o h h e i t g h h er a b n y a ever y g e t h a s o u thesa n d d e a d t i h s c o h f a o r g n e e s h f u r o m m a cannobeingn is attained. Some ingenious ar o i n t n li:e r ti u c p ian to may a 3 y 2 amuse himself by comp u ti ng, taking the price of each shot and shell from a s i,_ p pounder and determining the relative unravel: employed, what this life has cost. As evening fell, only a sraallFederal force remained to the south of the Rappahannock, and night saw them all encamped on its northward bank. This morning we passed some 20-pounder Parrott guns and one long Whitworth gun going to the front, with a view to shelling a Federal camp some two miles north of the river. The Whitworth gun is spoken of as a great success, and commanding a Far longer range than any othergun upon either side. THIRD EDI no N. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. SPOR7ING INTELLIGENCE.

RACE BETWEEN E. Mum, OF BETHNAL GrEEN, AND DEERFOOT (THE INDIAN).—The race between these pedes trians, who, it will be recollected, are old opponents, took place yesterday pursuant to announcement, on Mr. Baum's Ground, when so great was the public interest, that there could not have been less than 6,000 spectators. The dis tance to be run was six Miles, for £5O, and, as an additional inducement to the backer of Deerfoot to make the match, Mills agreed, if defeated, to give up the six-mile champion's belt, which had become his own property after winning the late race with J. White, of Gateshead. The present makes the third time the pedestrians have con tended, Mills, the first time they met, having de feated his man in a spin of six miles, and afterwards, in a race of eight, ran a dead heat with the Indian. The distance required the runners to pass the referee 41 times; and, in order that there should be no mistake in taking the sc re, the laps, as they were " worked off" by the pedestrians, were distinctly called out by the referee. The race had been fixed to be run at half-past three o'clock , and, with punctuality, W. Price, the M.C., had the men on the course at the time named. The Indian was attended by George Martin and J . White, of Gateshead ; while Sam Barker waited on Mills. Teddy looked in blooming condi tion, but we cannot say the same for his swarthy opponent, though his friends were extremely confident. The betting was 6t04 on Mills. The start was made from that portion of the course opposite the stand. The Indian, on this occa sion, wore the usual pedestrian outfit, presenting a very different appearance to the popular sporting photographs. Price having given the signal, the pedestrians went off at a rattling pace, the lead being taken by Deerfoot, who, al though he had the body and head inclined a little too for ward, was unquestionably running in better " form" than in the early part of his career. A finer or more graceful runner than Mills never donned flannel for a footrace, and the per fection of his style was soon seen by those who are judges of running. Deerfoot headed his little opponent by some two or three yards, and at a rattling pace the pedestrians ran to the finish of the first mile (4 minutes 41 seconds) without the least change in position. The first two miles were accomplished in gallant style, in 9 minutes 48 seconds, the lead being still in favour of the Indian, who as at start ing, headed his opponent by some three 3 ards. It was ap parent there was at present no disposition on the part of Mills to come to the front, he being contented thus far to merely " feel" his man. When the competitors came down the straight in the 20th lap, this being close on the finish of the third mile, Mills closed on his man, and on passing the referee for the commencement of the next round, was lead ing. On the completion of the third mile (14 minutes 55 seconds) Mills headed his man by some ten or a dozen yards. The astonishing style in which Teddy had opened when he passed his opponent had been quite sufficient to prove to his friends that he was all there, and had the race, even thus early, well in hand. Four miles were run in 20 minutes 15 seconds, five miles in 25 minutes 32 seconds ; Deerfoot, who was unmistakably in difficulties, being at this point, some 40 or 50 yards in the rear, Throughout the last mile the Indian (although the efforts he was making were hopeless) struggled on in the most determined manner. On the finish of the distance Mills went in a winner by full 100 yards ; Deerfoot, in the last two laps, being completely used up, and falling more and more in the rear at every stride. Mills made an astonishing spurt for the last lap to prove how little the pace had stung him, the six miles being run by the winner in 30 minutes 3 2 seconds. This is nearly 20 seconds slower than Mills ran the distance in the late splen did race between him and White of Gateshead. Deerfoot dis tance y e e i t n a an ra h ce ou p r e , n a d n in d g i nwi thist M s t i r l u l s g l o e r l u i n te t e h e Teddy greatest w ill be sorely tried, as the superior physique of the Indian will probably, in this long journey, tell in his favour. 7BIALS IN FRANC'. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine gave judgment yesterday in an action brought under the following circumstances :—Some years ago M. Renon, prin cipal tenant of the Hotel de Castillo, at the cor ner of the Rue Richelieu and the Boulevard des Italians, let on lease one of the shops on the boulevard to a Mlle. Maillard, a stationer, for 4,000 fr. a year, with a stipulation that she should not dispose of her lease without his consent, and that she should remain responsible for the rent with the new tenant. Subsequently, Mlle. Millard sold her lease with Renon's consent to a M. Gantry, who was restricted to carry on no other business than those of glover and perfumer. Not long after, M. Gautry ceded the remainder of the lease to M. Douval, a. jeweller, and on this occasion Renon intervened, and autho rised the latter to carry on his business in the shop, on con dition of an increase of 3,500 fr. in the rent, of which Renon was to receive 1,500 fr, and Gantry the rest. Mlle. Mail. lard. deeming this last cession an invasion of her rights, as being made without her consent, and contrary to the terms on which she had transferred her lease to Gantry, cited MM. Gautry, Duval, and Renon before the Tri bunal with a view to recovering possession of the shop. The advocate of M. Renon maintained that his client was fully entitled to act as he had done, and that, as lie now relinquished all claim on Mlle. Muiliard, as guarantee for the rent, the latter had no longer any interest in the matter. The Tribunal, considering that the release offered to the plaintiff by M. Renon put her entirely out of court, rejected her demand with costs. yV ---- - The Correctional Tribunal of the Seine was on Tuesday engaged in the trial of a female, named Pauline Lariviere, charged with victimising several tradespeople at Montmartre, by passing off new and bright Of-pieces. A baker deposed that the prisoner had procured the centime pieces from him by saying that she wanted them as play things for her children, and added that a few days after wards she again called, and, purchasing a loaf, paid for it with what he thought was a 5f piece, but which, after she had left, he discovered to be only one of the centimes. Several other tradespeople whom she had cheated in a simi lar manner appeared against her, and the court condenaned her to six months' imprisonment. • Share 100 atk 20 20i 10 100 I 103 100 stock stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 stock 'took 20i 20i 100 100 stock stock stock stock took St stock all all all all all 100 all all a.) all 71 k loi I 36i I
