ROMAN SILVER COIN FOUND AT DONCASTER. — A. beautiful and well-preserved denarius has been found in a field at Doncaster belonging to the corporation. It was str uc k by the Roman Senate and people in honour of the l'roperor Trajan, A.D. 103. Obverse :—Laureated bust of Trojan. Legend :—IMP. TRAJANO AUG. GER. DAC. T.lt, P. (To the Emperor Trajanus, Augustus, Ger inanicus, ateicug, Chief Pontiff, invested with tribunitial Power.) Reverse :—A winged figure of Victory, advancing with a wreath in her out;tretched right hand, and a palm branch in her left, evidently for the purpose of crowning the Emperor for some great military achievement. Legend : V. P.P. OPTIMO PRINCI. (Consul for the fifth time father of his country, the Roman Senate and people to the excellent Prince.) The date of the coin Can be ascertained with perfect exactness, for the consular stanch prove that Trajan \ins elected Consul for the fifth t ime A.D. 103 ; and in the same year, according to ‘` hquenet's Chronology," he completed his conquest of Dacia, and made it a Roman province (hance the title "Daeicus"). The other title, " Germanicus," was conferred upon hi m b y hi s pre decesso r and adopted father, Nerva, fDr I ' lB eminent services in Germany. ,ANE , OUS. 18 19 2 3 27 28 41 51 29 32 18 20 9 11 114 117 2i all all 100 100 100 L o' ,icea ,ivX COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

Button said they had made a good day of it, and had got £5 a piece. Button told my husband to show me. He showed me £lO. He gave Button £5 and me £5. At his request I kept 10s., which was in silver. Button was badly off before the election, but after it ho was not sober for more than a week. Cross-examined by Sir F. Slade—Mr. Wintringham gave the money to come to London with. The £5 I got from my husband was the best haul I have had for a long time. I never saw Mr. Chapman's wife, nor have I asked for charity. The clerk of Mr. Wintringbam, the solicitor conducting the petition, and Mr. Colley, a painter, having been examined, A voter named Searby was called. He said—l had pro mised my vote for Mr. Heneage, but Mr. Daubeny came and asked me t) vote for Mr. Chapman. He held out the promise of a situation on the railway if I did so. My mother came in and told Chapman I was promised for Mr 1 Heneage. Daubeny then went away. I voted for Mr. Wintringham—(laughter)—l mean Mr. Heneage. After the electiou I met Mr. Chapman. I told him I had voted - nu Ma. rreno. F ., maX i oela, " More fool you." Cross-examined by kSir F. Slade—Mr. Bunco was in the room at the same time that Mr. Daubeny was talking to me. He spoke to me, but I could not understand him. I first told what I knew about the election to Mr. Wintring ham on the 11th of February. I took a few circulars out /or the blue party. I sent in my bill, it amounted to £6. I have not been paid. When I sent in my account I was tcld the bill was not paid. BY the Chairman—l don't recollect how many days I was employed. VEGETABLES.

For the fourth time within the space of five months we have to announce the total loss, by fire, of another Australian packet ship, well known in the passenger trade -between Liverpool and Aus tralia. To-day a telegram was received in Liver pool, by way of Alexandria (in anticipation of the Australian mail), to the effect that the ship Ocean Chief, belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s Black Ball line of Rackets, had been burnt at. nuruour, New Zealand. The telegram is necessarily brief, and the date of the burning of the vessel, to gether with other particulars, are consequently not to hand. The Ocean Chief sailed from Liverpool last year with emigrants from Melbourne, under the command of Capt. Wm. Brown, and made a very rapid run out, in fact one of the most successful passages of the season. When the Ocean Chief arrived at Melbourne, the " Atipodean Exodus" was at its height, and the Otago gold fields of New Zealand were the magnets which were then attract ing thousands from Melbourne and Sydney. The ill-fated Ocean Chief was engaged to convey live stock, &c., to Otago, and left Melbourne on the 3d of January last. She had 4,000 sheep on board, and 60 tons of fodder. The Ocean Chief was 1,026 tons burden, and classed A 1 at Lloyd's. The circumstance of the destruction of the ships Sovereign of the Seas, Prince of the Seas, Empress of the Seas, and Ocean Chief, all engaged in the emigration trade, will no doubt cause a most rigid investigation to be made into the cause of the fires, which have consumed so many fine ships—in fact people are beginning to think that there is something wrong. It is singulq that Bluff Harbour, where the Ocean Chief is stated to have been burnt, has been, according to the last mail, the scene of the loss of the steamship Oscar, on a sand bank, through the negligence of the pilot, as well as the loss of fife sailing vessels on the same spot in the course of a week, and representations were about to be made to the legislative council upon the absence of the ne cessary pilotage on such an intricate, dangerous, and heretofore comparatively unknown coast. ItEMABKABLE ESCAPE. A carriage ace:den: took place on Tuesday at the Dargle. Lady Laura Grattan, being desirous of viewing the new road formed on the eastern side of this picturesqle ravine by Lord Monck recently, proceeded to drive through it in a photon, drawn by a single horst, and driven by a careful servant named Gasaon. Feeling some apprehension that this road, which at some points runs above the ravine at an elevation of 200 feet, would not be quite secure, owing to the recent very heavy rains, Lady Grattan descended from the vehicle, at the same time desiring the driver to return. In doing so the earthwork of the road's edge gave way beneath the horse's forefeet, carriage, horse, and driver dis appearing in a moment town a terrible precipice of some 150 feet into the o oaming torrent beneath. Most singular to relate, although the horse was killed, and the vehicle smashed to pieces, the driver al v m eh os ic t le iul a sin moment when thegular, she having escaped with a deep cut on the head.

Tilt deceased left Notting ham about nino o'clock, for the Purose of joining his regi ment at Glossop. Shortly before u; arrival of the train at Mansfield ho closed his eyes and secued to fall asleep. The other passengers thought that he watin liquor, and took no notice of him, but a few minutes a terwar d s h e d roppe d from, his seat quite dead. Cross-examination continued—Mr. Smith made out my bill. I charged ss. a day. I was not engaged a month. I was engaged I should think about three days in deliver ing the circulars. I never told Mr. Smith that Chapman had convassed me. My mother was in the room about ten minutes while the conversation was going on. Daubeny/did not speak about the situation when she was there. She told them I had promised the blue party (Mr. Heneage). I was out of work at the time of the election. I have had work since for about a week. I have had no money since the election,'nor have I been promised any. Mr. Wintringham paid my fare to London. He did not give me any pocket money: , 'I don't know how many Grimsby people are in the houSeii), which I am stop ping. We all take our meals seParately. I never promised Mr. Chapman my. vote. He dittridt ask' me for it in the presence of Mr. Watmough. Mr. Chapman spoke to me about my vote near the lock at Grimsby before the election, but I cannot recollect what he said. Mr. Watmough was with him then. He asked me if I would Tote for him. I did not say yes or no. I said I would think about it. He said you will do all you can for me, and I said yes. I mean to adhere to the answer I gave, that Mr. Chapman never canvassed me for my vote. The Chairman—And the witness did not appear to un derstand the meaning of the term canvassed. The witness, wb o evidently did not understand the mean ing of the questions of the learned gentleman, proceeded— After I had promised my vote to Mr. Chapman, Wintring ham got my promise to Mr. Heneage. I gave him the promise because he asked me first. I will swear that when Mr. Chapman asked me for my vote I told him I had pro mised Heneage. I don't know whether my mother has got any money. Rev. G. M'Phinn—l saw Mr. Chapman the day before the election, and a week before Mr. Daubeny called on ►me. I had not seen Mr. Chapman at all, but I recollect before Mr. Daubeny and Mr. Bunco came I had to go about five miles into the country with the bills I had to deliver. I did not tell Smith what to put down when my bill was made out. By the Chairman-1 have not been at work for Mr. Barker during the last six months. By Mr. Liddell—lt was a about a week before the election that Mr. Daubeny asked me if I would like a situation on the railway. Mrs. Jane Sen.rbv, the mother of ilus next examined. She said she was anxims her son should vote for Mr. lieneage, because he had given his word to do so. She never had got, or had been promised any money by any one for her son's vote. The committee shortly afterwards adjourned. PRESTON ELECTION. PRESTON, FRIDAY EVENING. Although at the nomination yesterday the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Melly, and although the highest expectations of his success were enter tained in many quarters, the election to-day has ended in his signal defeat; indeed the defeat has been so absolute that even the friends of Sir T. G. Hesketh, the successful Conservative candidate, have been taken by surprise. Sir T. Hesketh took the lead in the first hour, and continued to do so. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon he was above 500 a-head of his antagonist, and when the poll closed at 4 o'clock he was at the head of the poll by a ma jority of 513 votes. The Liberals have sustained this defeat partly in consequence of a want of proper executive organisation, and it is alleged princi pally in consequence of extensive bribery on the other side, and a strong amalgamation on the part of the Roman Catholics with the Con servatives. In everything to-day the Liberals have been behind their opponents, in getting the voters together, in conveying them, and in keeping them out of the way of opposite canvassers. Nearly all the carriages in the town were secured several days by the Conservatives, and the Liberals were forced, through this fact, to go for vehicles to Blackburn and other neighbouring places. The Liberals never anticipated such dexterous strategy on the part of the Conservatives, and never dreamt of such a defeat. The final state of the poll was declared by the Mayor in the Corn Exchange at five o'clock, in the presence of between 7,000 and 8,000 persons. The numbers were— Sir T. G. Hesketh Mr. G. Melly Majority for Sir T. G. Hesketh 513 Sir T. G. HESKETH briefly returned thanks. Mr. Melly did not appear. This evening he has issued an address to the inhabitants, in which he states that, although defeated, he is not dishear tened, and if at any future time he is requested to fight the battle of freedom for them he will readily respond to the call. WAR NEWS FROM ARKANSAS AND KENTUCKY. (From the Morning Herald.) The following intelligence has been received by a respectable mercantile firm at Liverpool : " Louisville, Kentucky, March 12, 1862. " It is said here, and generally believed, that Price has captured Seigel and his command in Ar kansas, say 3,000 to 5,000 troops. This informa tion comes from various persons who saw prisoners arriving in Memphis. Of course, no news of this kind is published. Persons here who examine care fully into these things say it is true." " Lexington, Kentucky, March 10, 1862. " We have information this morning that may be relied on, that Humphrey Marshall has whipped the Federals at the Pound Gap badly. Rube Mun day and most of his cavalry are prisoners, and 275 Federals left dead on the field. The information comes from Munday's wife, who has a despatch direct from her husband."' 2HE THREE, BEARS. Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., yesterday as counsel for the plaintiff in the action of Walrond v. Long and another, while maintaining that he was cry deeply read in fables and s t or i es, " v " de clared himself to be totally ignorant of any nursery tale entitled "The Three Bears." Will the learned Queen's counsel permit us to extend his knowledge in this branch of literature, by informing him that the story of "The Three Bears" (deplorably mis quoted by the correspondent of the Morning post) was written by the late Robert Southey, Poet ILaureate. Charles George Croft, park-constable No. 44, said be charged the defendant with fishing yesterday afternoon, in the Long Water, in Kensington Gardens, with a rod and line. He had seen him fishing the day before and cau tioned him. Defendant—Did you caution me ? Constable—Yes, and told you to go away. Defendant—You never told me that fishing was not allowed. Constable—You knew it well enough. Mr. Knox—lt is not your duty, constable, to lecture hero. What are your orders? Constable—We have them from the Commissioners of the Board of Works. Mr. Knox—Have you any act of Parliament P I am glad to find that the Serpentine is in such a condition that fish can exist there. I shall remand the prisoner till Wed nesday, and you, constable, can speak to your authorities, and they can then come prepared with the instructions under which they act and give their orders. The prisoner was then remanded on his own recognizance.

They went out at half-past three, rowing a very excellent stroke.. Their action is still lofty, and the defect in time so apparent when they first appeared at PutneY is now cured, and they may fairly be said to be rowing well r : together. They draw their oars well through be and, for a very heavy crew, the stroke is more s h a rp th il o d u w ld a lively than at fast ; but it is suggested that ther h w eir crew. improved by laving a little weight taken later in every The Cambr=idge crew went up half an hour rivals.

Adam Dean said I am at present residing at Gregory's Hotel, being on a visit to London. Yesterday morning I was in the neighbourhood of Long-acre when I met two young women, and being very civil to me, I accompanied them to their lodgings, in a court somewhere about that neighbourhood. Mr. Corric—Wero you sober ? Witncss—Well, I eras a little elevated, but you could not call me drunk. Mr. Corrie—Well ? Witness—After being with them some time 1 began to put on my topcoat to go away, when two men came into the room and began striking at too right and left. I attempted to defend myself in the best way I could, but tho women also set on me. I got one man down, but the other kept out of reach, and while I was warding off the blows I heard one of the women say—" Jim, have you got it ?" I then found out what they were after, and I made up my mind to keep all my property as secure as I could, but I had four people to gfi ht against, and, of course, they succeeded in their object. Mr. Corrie—Well, what was that? Witness—Why, to take my gold watch and chain, which they did. Mr. Corrie—Anything else ? Witness—Well, yes ; there were two gold coins hanging to the chain, and, of course, they did not forget to take them. (Laughter.) I gat out of the house somehow with out my hat and scarf, and on meeting with a policeman I told him how I had been served, and I took him to the house, where we found all locked up. The Policeman says to me, " Are you sure this is the house ?" "Of course, I am," says I ; " you'll find my hat inside." When he got in, he found the hat just as I told him.

Considerable excitement has been manifested in Hull during the past day or two, in consequence of a report that a prostitute named Emma Twidle had been almost murdered by a youth of 19 or 20 years of age, and of respectable family. At midnight on Monday he was at the Florence Café, where he met the unfortunate young woman, and accompa nied her to her house. While there, a young woman with whom she resided told her to beware of - son, as he was not altogether straightforward. He questioned her as to what Sally (meaning the young woman) had been saying to her. She replied, " Oh, nothing." Having no money, he said he would leave his undercoat until the next day, when he would re deem it. She refusedto accept it and went out for the purpose of closing the shutters. On returning into the house Thompson became very excited, and asked her, in a threatening manner," if she intended to let him stay," but she replied in the negative. He grew more enraged, and said she should suffer for it. He thereupon took a shovel from under the fire gate and struck her a tremendous , blow over the head, which he repeated several times. Having lost hold of the shovel, which flew out of his hand, he seized the poker, and struck her most severely and unmercifully with it over the head and body, infiicing such wounds as to render it q uestionable whether she will recover from the effects. She soon became senseless, and the ru ffi an m ade his escape. The neighbours, bearing her screams, repaired to the spot, where a most horrifyingspectacle met then . gaze. The unfortun a t e g i r l was lying in a pool of blood, her hair being clotted and her clothes satu rated. They thought her dying, and sent for a sur geon. Dr. Usher attended and dressed her wounds.
