THE dr DERBY A 7 PRE'S' I ON.: ljhb North LanoAshi re Agricultural Show added to the attractions as thr Preston Guild festivities on fednesday. The d innd: of the association, at which ' Lord Derby presided, was held in the afternoon. y a rule of the association, politics are excluded nom all their meetings. Earl DERBY, 'n proposing the health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, observed that the prince had alree ay slen more of the world, more of distant countries, et - alied their habits, and laws, and institutions, than many men of double his age. During his tour in the North American pro vinces, 'in a position of the greatest possible diffi culty, 'he conducted himself with the tact and dis • creraon which would be rarely found in men of m( ,re advanced years. He had since then endea v oared to improve himself by diligent attendance at the learned universities, as well as by foreign travel and foreign observation ; and those who had had the best opportunity of seeing and knowing his royal highness in private life all speak of him as one eminently calculated to excite the most affec tionate regard, mixing the frankness and cordiality of an English young gentleman with all the 'dig nity which he never forgot was due to his royal birth and station. (Cheers.) It had been stated—he - might almost say it had been more than reported—. for it had been announced that, following the exam ple of his illustrious parents, his royal highness's marriage was likely to take place at an early period ; and, if repoec spoke truly, he was about to be united to a princess of a family and of a t country whic:a had many ties with ours, an d be tween wheal and ns there were many points of union—.a princess moreover who, if report spoke truly, Dot only could boast of great personal beauty but was of a c h aracter l i kely and aficompli s hments, to 'ender her worthy to share his future inherit nce of the British thron e . (C heers.) He (Lord ar Derby; Was sure their be s t w i shes would attend his Highness in every state of life, and if he (the President) might venture to offer an expres si on in favour of the prince's apparently approach i.ng marriage, it would be thel he might be destined to enjoy as complete happiness in that state as fell for two-and-twenty years to the lot of his illustrious parents ; bat that tb'a date of that happiness might be infinitely longer prolonged than, unfortunately, theirs was. (Loud applause.) He proposed " His Royal Tr —; .ghness the Prince of Wales and the rest of the r oyal family." T hP. , toast having been duly honoured, Tr ite noble lord again rose to propose a toast w } aich he said he was sure would call forth the warm Acknowledgment of every man who was a lover of 'the independence, the honour, and the glory of his native country. (Hear, hear.) He was about to propose the health of those who, by sea and land, in whatever difficulties, were prepared to maintain her glory and independence in every circumstance in which the valour, the steadiness, and discipline of troops should be called into action. (Applause.) Tie was not about to separate the navy from the ai'my, the army from the militia, nor the militia from the volunteers, but would propose them as one great united whole—one great arm, put toge ther with great skill for the accomplishment of one common object, the common object being the co-operation of each and all according to their several stations, and none encroaching upon the province of the other— in maintaining the independence and honour of the country. (Cheers.) Taking. this view of the subject, and in order to save time, he should call upon a distin guished offieer to answer them all, and he was happy that in so, doing he could unite the obligations of public; duty with the gratification of private per sonal friendship. It was exactly fifty-one years Mince first, as boys at Eton, Major-General Sir Jas. Scarlett and himself—(cheers)—precisely contem porary in age and boarding in the same house— were, in the language of Eton slang, "strong cons," - which interpreted meant firm and constant friends. (Laughter.) Their course in life, however, had been different ; and the duties they had been called upon to perform of a very different character, but he be lieved he could say for both of them that they had each watched with interest and with satisfaction 'the progress which the other had made in public life. (Hear.) Eor many years, like many equally distinguished, equally gallant and meritorious offi cers, his gallant friend had few opportunities of showing that he was more than a good, steady, and efficient officer, bat the trouble and difficulties of the Crimea brought out the stuff of which his gal lant friend was made—(cheers)—there he worthily - won those honours and earned that distinguished position which he now holds. (Applause.) With regard to the navy, he would cnly say that it must always be regarded in case of defensive warfare— and God forbid that the time should ever arrive when we should be engaged it any but defensive warfare—(cheers)—but if we are to be subject to the miseries of war at all, the navy of this coun try mast ever be, as it ever had been, the first line of defence, the main bulwark upon which they must rely for the repulse of the first attack of any invading foe. (Hear, hear.) God forbid that Any such invasion should take place ; if it should, they knew that trey had an army which, as it had carried our colours to victory in distant climes, would not be slow to maintain its own glory rep u l s i ng a ny enemy who should endeavour or should venture pon landing on our shores. (Cheers.) It w as a great satisfaction to know that that army, i n case of need, would be supported by bodies so numerous and efficient as those of the ancient constitutional militia of the ancient consti tutional militia of the country, and that noble force which had been in a comparatively short period organised and es t a b lished by the pu bli c s p iri t and patriotism of the country, and to which the country owed so much, for the security which it had against any foreign ins u lt, i n the knowledge w hich foreign k - ,ountries had of the spirit which had raised and supported the volunteers of the country. (Cheers.) He was satisfied that neither the militia nor the volunteers would fall into the mistake of suppos in g 'hat they were substitutes for the British army `They were an auxiliary, and a most valuable auxiliary to the army, and whenever the time of trial should come, he was sure they would not forget what was due to the sister services, and that they would, one and all, perform their duty to their Queen, their country, and their God. (Loud cheers.) He gave the " Army, Nevy, and Volun teers." Sir J. SCARLETT returned thanks. Lord STAN Ly.y, h a • The High Sheriff," Pr yi ng given " The CHAIRMAN the e os i ed the toast of the even lug—" Success to h Agricultural Society." His lordship North Lancashire ltolardship said : I have now to propose the t oast o f one of great importanc e . (A pp e i even ing, which is ) The experi ence which I had had duri ng the last forty years has enabled me to know how extreme ly t ra d ia itficalt it is to attract the attention of an assemblage subjects of personal interest to ono of r ri fro i ta business-like character. I am not so forgetful what I owe to your time and patience as to presumef upon keeping you with any array of figures or sta tistics on the subject of the toast which I am about to offer. I aat sure that those who are present, and those who have taken a deep interest for many years in the progress of agriculture in this country, will not be altogether indifferent to the "Pro sperity to the Royal North Lancashire Agricultural Society." (Applause.) I r egret greatly that ',:the state of the weather, from the effects of which we have not altogether been free even in this tent—(laughter)—should have been so unfavourable as to have prevented me from attending the society's show ; but I am gratified to learn from the secretary, and I trust you will hear the report affirmed by the judges, that in spite of a!1 the disadvantages, there has been no previous occasion on which a more decided success attended the opera tion3 of thy society than upon this occa sion. Of cours,e I cannot spat of what might have been the state of the society upon this day further than to refer to one important point, which is that our financial position is a very healthy one. We are not only altogether free from debt, which was not the ease a few years eg o, but have already a respec table bal ance in the bank. (Cheers.) Although I do not - "sv the precise number of implements and stock exhibited to-day, or the precise amount paid for admission, this I do know, that I am enabled to contrast safely enough the present meeting with the first meeting of the Royal North Lancashire Agricultural Society which I attended--I believe the first of its institution-15 years ago, in the year 1847. I will not trouble you with any detail of figures, but I would just mention the t - in the year 1847, the receipts of admission to the show yard were £63 18s. In 1861, the receipts were £375, and I am told that, notwithstanding the obstacles which were interposed by the state of the weather, the receipts to-day are expected to considerably ex ceed that amount. But when I say that the receipts of 1847 were only £63 18s. I am bound, as an old member of the society, to say that I think the show was very dear for the money. (Laughter.) I recol lect that upon that occasion the show was in a small field in the neighbourhood of Lancaster. The stock exhibited included a few very inferior brood mares, some very moderate hacks, and I doubt if there were any sheep. There was a very small and inconsiderable number of cattle, which belonged to the old l ong -h orne d and I may say long-haired breed—(laughter)—few s pecimens of that almost unknown description of cattle, respecting which there was then great con troversy, which is now known as the short-horn. That was the state with regard to the exhibition of stock in the year 1847, and I leave those who have had an opportunity of seeing the stock to-day to say how great is the progress which agriculture has made in this country. It is not in stock alone, but in every respect, that within the last 20 or 25 years agriculture has made a satisfactory progress which would vie with that made in any other description of free industry. It would be a very curious statistical problem to solve to ascertain how many more acres of land, by the removal of unnecessary fences, have been gained to the county of Lancaster during these last 20 years, and how much addition hasbeen made to the value of land by the comparatively small sums laid out in that all-essential A B C of agriculture, namely, thorough drainage. Within the last few days I have seen districts of country which certainly would have been very much improved by the ex penditure of a couple of hundred pounds in tile drainage. I must say the improvement is one highly creditable to the country generally, and I have no doubt highly remunerative both to the landlords and tenants of the county. (Applause.) While I speak of drainage and the improved value given to the land by it, let me also mention incidentally a matter which, perhaps, has not been so specially brought forward, but which is of the greatest importance. It is not only upon the arable lands of this country, but upon the pastures also that drainage must have a beneficial effect ; and more especially upon those pastures devoted to sheep, the cultivation of which is greatly increased during the last few years ; and it is found that the drainage of the land produces perhaps greater effect upon the feeding quality of grass for sheep than upon any other description of produce. Lancaster has been a county in which it has been supposed sheep could do no good. I have been assured, that there have been exhibi ted a number of Leicesters and Shropshire Downs, which for quality and value would be a credit to any county. If there is any point in which agriculture has made greater progress than in drainage, it is in the extended application of machinery and sciences. (Hear, hear.) I recollect not many years ago the late Sir Robert Peel was talking to me about the prejudices of farmers. He said he had announced upon one occasion, that, as an agricultural prize, he would give an iron plough. He was surprised there were not many competitors, and he called upon one of his own tenants for an explanation. He said, " Why, you see, Sir Robert, we farmers have a notion that iron ploughs breed weeds." (Laughter.) I am happy to say that, although agriculture in this country is not always spoken of in the complimentary terms, even in the year 1847 we were not in that state of primitive ignorance. I wish to call the attention of this great meeting to the subject of irrigating the land by the sewage of great towns. It is now about 20 years since I pressed the subject at Manchester upon the atten tion of the Liverpool and Manchester Agricultural Society, and I made perhaps not a very scientific but a lengthened statement, in which I dwelt upon the balance between production and consumption, and upon reproduction, compensation for waste, &c. When I sat down Mr. Mark Phillips rose and said, " What the noble lord has said is all very fine, and also very true, but all he has said amounts to this, ' Muck is money." (Great laughter.) If that be true, although no doubt their are many men who make ducks and drakes of their money, it is no reason why we should make ducks and drakes of our muck—why we should not merely waste what is for the benefit of our land, but abuse, for the deterioration of our streams and rivers, that which was intended materially to promote the' agricultural production of the land. (Applause.) It is a subject which is attended with very great difficulty, but it is beginning to attract a great amount of attention. I only wish to remind my friends that the subject was not overlooked by me twenty years ago; and if I should not be unduly trespassing on your time, I will venture to call your attention shortly to a practical exemplification of the benefit of attending to this subject which has come under my own observation. It may attach, perhaps, additional interest to the observations I am about to make when I tell you that the novelty, if novelty there is in the discovery and application of the means, belongs not to me, nor to any man now living, but exclusively to the practical know ledge and experimental observation of his late lamented Royal Highness the Prince Consort. He had applied his eminently practical mind to this subject, among others, and had made various expe • riments upon it, the result of one of which we have had the opportunity of seeing, and noticing the important effects produced by it upon the herbage at Osborne, in the Isle of Wight. That to which I am about to call your attention is an experiment which has been recently carried on according to the plan of his Royal Highness, on a small scale cer tainly, at Wellington College. I must first tell you that the population of the college is about 300 souls, and there is attached to it a very large laundry for doing the washing of the whole establishment. I mention this, not as an unimportant fact, because it is important to them. In this way a very large sup ply of water is o bt a i ne d , and those who know anything about it k now that for the production of veg etables and the cultivation of flowers the re good a s t h e application of soap the refuse of was hi ng. We have the s is ud n s °t a ll u i d ng usual cess pools at the c o ll ege ; and all we had to s l o i iqud manure fr om t h ose cesspools. „ n depend upon in our operations was t h e overflow ing of the Following the plan of the Prince C onsort, we con ducted this li q uid a short distanc e f rom the college through pipes ieg it. It has been found in all former exp er i ments in filtering that if the liquid is intr o d uce d at the top of the filtering bed the solid matter i n i t would in a short time form a cake and prevent the con tinuance of the process o f filtration. The novelty bottom of the ID, not at the top, but from th e introduced by the Prince Consort was that all came watery . part filter ing bed, and so, by its own the bed, leaving the \ made its way upwards through the solid part at the bottom. three separate f eac h covered to the Wooden frames depth of thr ee bed consisted of or four inches with bur ned The water force, The h e through the grade liy forced its way lowest frame to th e a that through second and then bogsoil_ to the upper on©, It then fell over a rating the larger filteri ng bed sm aller one, and dropped to the b ot tom from a bed, in which it rose through three of the second _ burned bogsoil, as in the first i n stance. fvames or trays 01 _ it As each of the trays absorbed the manure division saps rating collected awfbrich the was removed, and a fresh tray was substituted.

That, h ow _ ever, was an object attained by the way. o ur principal object was to obtain the liquid manure for the purpc , ,es of irrigation. To give you an idea of the soil at the college, when we purchased the land we gave £lO an acre for the fee simple of it, and were told that we had given twice ad much as it was worth. It is of the worst description of heath-- a thin layer of worthless sand above a mass of gravel, THE SIIN, LONDON, PRID EVENENI, SEPTEMBER 5, utterly impenetrable by water. This is varied with swamp, and some bogsoil, and the lower land is j a deep brick clay, which, when reclaimed, will be the more valuable portion. This land had never produced a blade of grass before we took it in hand. By means of the small tank I have men tioned we began an experiment last year by irri gating the land with the surplus water from the tank, We obtained in one year eight cuttings of the finest grass, beginning on April 7 to cut our first crop, and cutting it every six weeks for the next half year, and no crop that was cut was less than one foot in height. (Applause.) In addition to this from the soil I have described we supplied the college with potatoes and some of the finest vegetables I ever saw in my life. I ought to men tion that the only expenditure attending the burn ing of the bogsoil and the cleaning out of the tank amounted to about £l5, in return for which we are able to irrigate completely nine acres of land, with the results I have mentioned. Of the produce raised on soil which never in the memory of man produced anything but heath, moreover, so rich is the sewage we obtain that the tenant of the adjoin ing farm takes from us the waste which leaves our land and flows upon his, and applies it to his crops, and the owner in return allows us the use of a valu able spring of water. I hope I have not unneces sarily troubled you with these remarks. Although the experiment is but a small one I think it will show what may be done when circumstances are equally favourable on a large scale. I know enough of the genius, talent, and application of my coun trymen to believe that if men sedulously set to work to ascertain the means of solving this great national problem they will succeed to a great ex tent, and, except in very adverse circumstances, with very beneficial results. For the purpose of making use of this irrigation it is necessary—at all events it is a great saving of expense—to have such a level as that the water may be fed by its own gravity.. It is necessary to have a good sup ply of water ; and if the land is intended for arable purposes it should be well ploughed and pulverised. The irrigation has a much greater effect on light than on heavy lands, and, moreover, I believe it has a much greater effect on grass lands and vegetables than on arable land. To show you that I am not talking for the sake of talking, I will conclude my observations on this subject by saying that so firmly am I convinced of the importance of pushing this science (for such it will be) much further than it has been pushed hitherto, that I am ready to offer to give a premium of £lOO to the first person, or to the first company, which shall have successfully—by which I mean profitably to themselves, for otherwise it will not serve for an example—utilised the entire liquid sewage of a district comprising not less than 4,000 inhabitants in any districts within the North Lancashire or the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society, if I should live so long, and should be so happy as to see it. If both those societies in the same year produce the desired results, I should not hesitate to give £lOO to each. (Applause.) I thank you very gratefully for the patient attention with which you have favoured me, while I have been speaking on a subject which has nothing but its intrinsic importance to recommend it. I call on you now to drink, with the same cordiality with which I pro pose it, " Prosperity to the Royal North Lancashire Agricultural Society." (Applause.) Pardon me for adding what I had forgotten to mention, that I have by me a more detailed statement by the gen tleman who carried on this irrigating process, Mr. Menzies, the deputy surveyor of Windsor-park and Forest. I have two copies of the scheme and plans illustrating it, one of which I will place in the hands of the secretary of this society, for the in spection of any gentleman who may desire to see it, and to have a further explanation of the scheme, and the other copy I shall be happy to give to the gentlemen of the press. The noble lord resumed his seat amid hearty applause. A RADICAL MP. ON LAST SESSION AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. At a dinner given on Wednesday night, in the Music Saloon, Wakefield, in honour of the mayor, the toast of " The House of Commons," proposed by Mr. Tew, was acknowledged by Mr. Leatham, M.P. for Huddersfield, who said—ln attempting to re spond to the toast which you have just so kindly drunk, allow me to observe that even one of the most humble members of the House of Commons feels some degree of embarrassment. He thinks that he ought on this occasion to assume somewhat the tone of an apologist. There have been times when the House of Commons might come proudly and boldly before the country, conscious that it had discharged with fearless honesty its high and re sponsible functions ; conscious that it had not un worthily represented the best virtues and highest aspirations of one of the noblest peoples upon the face of the earth ; that it had, by its wise and bene ficial policy and legislation, immeasurably enhanced that people's prosperity ; and that, therefore, in receiving the admiration and respect, and the thanks of that people, it was but receiving that which was natural and deservedly its due. At such times, every member of that house, however unworthy he might personally feel of that respect and of those thanks, yet, clothed for a moment in the great re putation of that assembly, he might stand up upon occasions like this, and with a certain ease and con fidence respond to toasts of this description. Sir, I wish it was my fortunate lot upon this occasion so to stand up, and so to respond; but I feel that were I to do so, I should see a smile upon the faces of all , around me. It would be simply ridiculous for any member of this listless and lavish parliament to as sume for it the existence of virtues to which it does even seem to aspire. But while I deplore and deprecate this state of things, let us not forget the causes which have produced it. For the merits and demerits of the House of Commons we (and I speak now as a simple burgess), not they are mainly responsible. If the House of .Commons be not as we would have it to be, remember it is precisely as we have made it. The apathy, the indolence, the reckless extravagance, the helpless credulity, the shameful panic which we all condemn, find their faithful reflection in the credulity and the panic and the apathy of those classes upon whom devolves the choice of members of Parliament. Now, sir, I do not wish, upon a festive occasion like this, to in dulge in any unnecessary gloomy reflections ; and I may say that I am not one of those who see, either in the temper of Parliament or in the help less attitude of a people, grave cause for discourage ment, much less of despair. The man who would look forward must now and then look backward ; and, if he does so, he will find that it is just those periods in which the constitution has grown the most rapidly and flourished the most vigorously which are invariably preceded by periods of unac countable and unnatural quiescence. It is through just one of those periods that it is now our lot to struggle. We have lived to see many of those great questions to which, as politicians, we are warmly attached, go steadily backward under the fatal auspic es o f a Lib era l administration. (H ear , hear.) W e h ave li ve d to see re f orm ( an d I ma k e no apolo g y in an assembly and corporation of re formers for naming reform) flouted and tabooed by the leaders of the Liberal party. And, what is greater humiliation, we have lived to see the faith, the solemn pledges of our public men become like those of public men in Austria or France, a stand ing jest. I may have read history to very little purpose, and I may have studied the character of those around me to very little more, but altogether blind to the un less I am wholly ignorant of the teaching of the s i o v n e ce t more see them not merely onneiusanodf th u e nl :o e t ss her l , w all : shall some of us survive to genies parties, and the fate of seeassume gigantic proport , of t - nfinitety greater consequence, con tribute,t those great We e es s t h i a o l n l Ministries, course of their triumphant solution, in the and imperishable chapter to the a new and glorious, (Loud cheers.) history of British freedom. tdmictt,awtehtabteisfaoifl FIND FOR THE DISTRESSED OPERATIVES.—For several weeks central weeks the workmen and officials of the London and ° " 11- Western Railway Works, at Crewe, have contributed t s o u th bee fund for the relief of the Lancashire distress.

An audacious swindle has just come to light in Cork. A short time ago a distinguished traveller appeared in the city of Limerick, who called him self Captain Miller, of New Orleans. He was about 32 years of age, thin, and of a sallow complexion. He had large plantations in the South, and he was, of course, an enthusiastic Confederate. He had himself fought under Beauregard, and he showed some wounds that he received while fighting against the Northerners, of whom he spoke with the greatest contempt. He had a vessel in the Shannon, he said, with which he intended, to run the blockade, and he was negotiating the purchase of others for the same purpose. Among those who were specially interested in the distinguished stranger was Mr. Michael O'Loughlin, who met him at Moore's Hotel, and became the object of his particular regard. He was so well pleased with Mr. O'Loughlin's Southern sympathies and talents for business that he engaged him as his manager, and agreed to take him out with him to New Orleans at a salary of 300 dollars or £75 a month. Mr. O'Loughlin was delighted with this splendid offer, and charmed with the chivalrous bearing and generous spirit of his employer. He sold all he had, purchased an outfit, and prepared to cross the Atlantic. On Thursday last Captain Miller and his manager arrived in Cork, and put up at the Victoria Hotel, both occupying the same room with two beds. As their stay in Cork was to be short, the captain advised his companion to leave his lug gage at the railway terminus, taking the precaution to have it labelled in his own name. The conver sation turned upon the serious business in which he was engaged on the part of the Southern Con federation. He was to take out some 20 or 30 tons of gunpowder, and several thousand stand of arms, including as many Armstrong guns as he could manage to get. In the meantime he lived at the hotel in a style befitting a man of such property and engaged in such important trans actions. Everything went on smoothly till Tues day. On that morning O'Loughlin left the room to take a bath. When he returned he found that the captain had vanished, having taken with him his manager's purse, watch, and clothes, all but a great coat. Information was immediately given to the police, and the telegraph was put in motion. O'Loughlin's luggage had gone from the railway station, and some vehicle must have been employed to take it. Inquiries were set on foot among the cabmen, and with the aid of one of them the fugi tive was discovered in a house ia the town. He was arrested, and will be brought up to-day at the police-office. Notwithstanding the audacity with which he carried on his swindling operations, it is said that the moment he saw the police-constable he fainted. It appears that he never was in New Orleans, though he gave a graphic account of his plantations in that quarter. On Saturday a young woman, named Catherine Ryan, threw herself into the Nore, at Kilkenny. Several persons saw her struggling in the water, but nothing was done to rescue the unfortunate creature. Lance corporal M'Govan, hearing their cries, rushed out from his dinner, and plunged into the water just as she had risen the third time. He caught her by the hair, but with instinct of self preservation she seized him round the body, and dragged him under water. With a desperate effort he extricated him se lf, and succeeded in bringing her to land. She was soon restored to conscious ness. When brought before the magistrates ahe refused to give any account of her conduet, except that she was weary of life. The brave soldier will no doubt be rewarded by the citizens of Kilkenny, and probably by the Royal Humane Society. Lady Ormonde's tenantry assembled in large numbers and drew home her turf on Saturday, after which they were hospitably entertained by her Ladyship at Garryricken-house, when they enthu siastically drank her health and that of the young Marquis and the other members of the family. The Limerick Reporter says, with reference to the convict Walsh : " Several of our contemporaries are in error in stating that this wretched young man gave no information to the authorities. It is certain that he did, and hence it was be lieved that his life would be spared. But such was his anxiety he did not give himself time to make terms ; in deed, his statement appeared a volunteer one behind the back of his attorney, and some arrests were made in conse quence of his information." THE FA7AL COLLISION ON THE MID- LAND RAILWAY. MARKET HARBOROUGH, TITURSDAY. The inquest which had been adjourned from Friday was resumed this morning at the Town-hall, Mar • ket Harborough, before Mr. Gregory, of Leicester, one of the county coroners. Mr. Metcalfe, barrister, was in attendance to watch the inquiry on behalf of the London and North-Western Railway Company; and there were also present Mr. Bruyers, general superintendent of the London and North-Western Railway system ; Mr. Marygold, solicitor; Mr. E. J. Eliis, director of the Midland Company ; Mr. Allport, general manager of the Midland Railway Company ; and Air. Needham, superintendent of the Midland system. Mr. G. H. Rich was the first witness called. He stated that he was station master at Market Har borough. The station belonged to the London and North Western Railway Company, but the Midland Company had power to run trains over the line. Upon the night of the accident he was about to go to bed—the station was closed, and all the lamps, with one exception, were extinguished. He heard a train stop at the platform, and, hearing the voices of the passengers, concluded that it was a passenger train. He took up his lamp and went out upon the platform, and found that some of the doors of the carriages were open. He called to the passengers to get in, and when they did so he shut the doors. While engaged in that operation ho heard a con tinued whistle in the distance, proceeding from a train rapidly approaching. When he first heard it it appeared so far off that the idea of a collision never occurred to him. But a minute had scarcely elapsed, and in the meantime the first train had just commenced to move when he heard a concussion, and saw the glass fall from the windows of two of the carriages. At the time the collision occurred he was standing in the middle of the first train. He saw the train part violently in two, owing to the recoil of the carriages which had been struck. The first part of the train, co nsisting of the engine 12 c arriages, went on for a few yards. The passengers g ot out of the carriages in the latter part of t he train, and there were loud and tender and about screams and cries for assistance. He proceeded to the part of the train which had been struck until he came to the signal box. Leaning over the coup ling-chains he called the signalman, Hugger, by name, and asked him to bring the keys of the office. Hagger brought them and handed them to witness. While Hagger held the keys, and before witness took them, he asked Hagger how his signals were when the accident occurred, and he said they were at " danger," as was usual when a train was stand ing at the station. He then asked Hagger if he knew what was the cause of the accident, and he said that from what he had observed of the ap proaching train its speed was too great for the driver to be able to stop. Hagger stated that, in addition to the signals which were at danger, at the time he waved his lamp. Witness took the key and proceeded at once to open the station offices and waiting rooms. He also lit the gas. After having done FO he proceeded down to the train which had been run into, and found a great many people wounded. He also found that a fire had been lighted, and by its light, and that of his own lamp, he saw what appeared to be the roof of a carriage, which the passengers were all crowding round. Forcing his way through the crowd he saw that two or three passengers still remained beneath the broken part of the carriages. That must have been twenty minutes after the accident occurred. The passen gers seemed to be doing all they could to relieve those who were underneath the carriages. With ld the assistance o f t h e passengers h e o b ta i ned a screw jack . f rom t h e goods shed to move the broken fragments, and h e also sen t f or ass i stance into Market H ar b orough. He then instructed the Mid an guard t o t a k e the engine and part of th e fi rst train to Leicester and procure medical assistance . He was unabl e to give further evidence as to the 1862. accident itself, having been subsequently engaged in attending to the injured passengers. While he was engaged in preparing the goods shed for the reception of the wounded he saw tha body of the deceased, Thomas Stinston, brought in. The Coroner—Had you received any intimation that the train was about to stop for water ? Witness—No. It is not usual for such a train to stop at all, and I had received no intimation. A Juryman—ln whose service is the signalman ? Witness—ln the service of the London and IN orth- Western Company. He is not employed regularly through the night, but takes night duty on alter nate weeks. On the night of the accident he had been on duty from half-past 6 o'clock. A Juryman—This being a Midland train, was anyone connected with that company at the station at the time of the accident ? Witness—No. We had a notice that the train would pass this station at 10 o'clock, and I presume that the notice referred to the train to which the accident occurred. A Juryman—What indications did you have of the approach of the second train ? Witness—l heard one continuous whistle, such as is given when the engine driver finds a signal against him and attempts to whistle ►t off. The ordinary signal for this junction is two sharp, shrill whistles, but I did not hear them on this occasion. By the Jury—lf the signal gave a wrong indica tion, and showed that there was no danger, why would it be necessary to give the whistle ? ll'itness—l believe the driver would be bound to whistle under any circumstances. If the auxiliary signal showed a white light he would know that something was wrong, as the signal is always at danger until whistled off. Hagger has been in the employ of the company for about eight years, and five at this junction. I have never heard that he was guilty of any negligence ; but on several occa sions his attention to his duties has been the means of preventing accidents. By Mr. Marigold, on behalf of the Midland Company—l have known the auxiliary signal to be out of order. Joseph Greenwood examined—l am an engine driver in the service of the Midland Railway Com pany, and have been a driver for two years. On rhursday night I brought an excursion train from King's•cross. We left King's cross at 7.35. There were 25 passenger carriages, including two or three break vans. We were not to stop until we reached Despond, about eight miles from Leicester. We first stopped at Bedford to take in water, and we remained there eleven minutes. I knew that there was a train to follow, but we did not see anything of the second train until it reached us at Bedford. I stopped again at Market Harborough for watering. I knew that there were signals there which ought to have protected us. We reached Market Har borough at 10.52. As I approached the station I whistled in the ordinary way, and I stopped at the station. I was not aware of any collision until the train ran into us. I spoke to the engine-driver of the second train after the accident occurred, and he told me that the "signal was as white as any signal in this world ever was." Thomas Tapley, guard of the Burton train, cor roborated the statement of the driver. Mark Meadows, the under guard of the Burton train, stated that as the train approached the signals he looked out after he had heard the whistle, and saw a white light displayed. Witness pat on his break half a mile beyond the crossing. They had arrived at Market Harborough, and had completed taking in water when he heard the whistle of the second train. It was the usual whistle—two whistles for the signal. As the train approached Market Harborough he heard the driver whistle that the road was clear. Witness happened to be out of the van. Upon running up to the platform he saw that the second train had approached so near that the red lamp was shining upon the van of the first train. Ezra Stubbs, the driver of the train that caused the accident, was then examined, after having been cautioned by the coroner that the evidence he gave might criminate himself. He said—l have been an engine-driver for two years, but I had been for several years prior to that an engine -driver and firer. We left King's-cross at 7.46. I saw the Burton train start. It left King's-cross some six or seven minutes before we did. When we reached Bedford the train which had preceded us was standing at the station. I presume that it was taking in water. We did the same, and left Bedford at 9.48, having remained at Bedford 11 minutes. After leaving Bedford we received caution signals which indicated that a train was ahead. On approaching Market Harborough I told the fireman to apply the break. He did so, and I sounded the whistle twice at the junction signal. Upon approaching nearer to them I again whistled twice, until I saw that the distance signal stood at white, which signified " All right." I naturally presumed that the station was clear, and I told my fireman to take off his bre dr. I put on steam, and kept it on until I saw the train in front of us. Just as I passed the back signal I saw the red lights at the station, showing that a train was standing there. I also looked at the semaphore, and found that it stood at danger. I immediately reversed the engine and applied the breaks, but the distance was too short to prevent a collision. We ran into the train ahead of us, and at the time were going at the rate of about six miles an hour. By Mr. Metcalfe - 1 do not think the main sig nal could be seen only by a person standing still. I did not see it till I got to the back signal, and I tried to stop. The auxiliary showed a white light both ways. When I came up to the auxiliary gave one short whistle for the guards to release their breaks. If the auxiliary had stood at dan ger I should have given two short whistles for guards to put on their breaks. I should have stopped any train if I saw the auxiliary signal at danger. Had I seen the red lamps I should have stopped sooner. At Kettering, where I saw the red light, I gave a long protracted whistle. We gained some time in coming from Bedford to Kettering. By Mr. Marigold—The white light at the auxi liary signal gave me to understand the A:atm n was clear. If the auxiliary had shown a red light, I would have stopped my train within a few yards of it, and I could have p revented the collision. Walter Sowden, fireman to the last witness, gave corroborative testimony with regard to the signals. He said he saw the white light at the auxiliary sig nal, and the red light at the semaphore. He said he did not see the tail lights of the train until they ' reached Harborough, when the breaks were applied, but the collision could not be averted. James Taylor, the head guard of the second train, was next examined, and said that the train had pro•- i safely until it reached the auxiliary signal, which was white. By Mr. Metcalfe—The steam was shut off to let the train run down the Desborough bank, at about 29 miles an hour. He took off the breaks when he saw the white lights and applied them again w h en he saw the red lights at the other signal. He be lieved he told Mr. Rich that the collision was caused by the white light being shown at the auxiliary. He said to the driver and those around him after the accident had occurred, " How is it that that white signal is on ?" He saw the white s i gna l f or a great distance, and all the time he Wa s putting his break on. The incline the train ran down was great, but he did not know the gradients. By Mr. Marigold—Was quite positive he could see the white signal as plainly as th e d r i ver . He WiNS in the break next to the engine. By a Juror—l believe the break power was suffi cient to work the train ; but had there been a third break in the centre the train. might have been stopped. Wm. Goodman, the under guard of the second train, said he was in the van at the rear of the train, and when about two miles from Market Harborough he heard the whistle, a n d ho a pplied his break, keeping it on until he arrived at the junction crossirg. By Mr. Metcalfe—He saw the white light at the auxiliary signal, and kept it in sight from the first. He had not talked the tr aitter over with the other guard, althou g h his story might be exactly the same as leis mate's. lie had never talked the matter over with anybody, but on the previous day he had given hi s ev idence to Colonel Witted, the go vernment inspector. By a juror.—The signal will show white right .~,.~ . through. He was sure he saw the signal was white, but after the accident it was changed to green. At this stage of the proceecings the inquiry was adjourned. .ROMAIVTIC SUICIDE. Dr. Lankester, the coroner, held an inquest at the I Dudley Arms, Harrow-road, Paddington, yester day, on view of the body of Ellen Austin, aged 42, lodging at 4, Hall.plaee, Hall Park, Paddington. Mr. Austin, tradesman, of Hardington•street, Lisson -grove, deposed that deceased was his wife, with whom he did not live on account of her habits of intemperance, and which he believed had affected her mind. He last saw her alive on Saturday even ing, at the corner of Princess-street, under the in fluence of liquor. William Lindley said Mrs. Austin occupied a front room in his house. On Monday his wife called his attention to the unaccountable absence of the deceased, and he requested two policemen to accom pany him to her room. He found the door locked inside, and unlocked it by another key in his pos session, and found the deceased lying dead in bed. Mrs, Lindley saw deceased on Saturday night come home very much excited, but she did not ap pear to be tipsy. She accounted for the excitement by saying her husband would not give her any money. She assisted witness in her work up to half-paat four that day, and then went to meet her husband to get tome money from him to pay her rent. Two months ago she tried to make away with herself by poison, when witness knocked a phial of poison, which she had obtained for that purpose, out of her hand. At that time she had been to her husband for money, and had been re fused in a similar manner. She of late frequently assured witness of her intention to destroy herself. Witness had occasionally seen her the worse for drink, but she appeared to be in no way under its influence either on Saturday night or Sunday, when she last saw her alive. Other evidence elicited went to show that a phial containing a very small drop of laudanum, a packet of sugar of lead, and a glass tumbler smelling of beer and laudanum, were found on the dressing table, and some poetry was found on a slip of paper lying upon the mantel-piece, the handwriting of which was admitted by Mr. Austin to be that of his wife, and dedicated to him as follows " The treasure I have had and lost, Oh, could I but regain, Not for all the wealth the world might cost I would not act the same. " My Harry, to my arms once more, Oh, Gould I have you again. Then to my God I would implore For happiness to remain. " Oh, Harry, is your heart so hard That it can no more relent To the prayer of your penitent, When she says she does repent ?" The foregoing appeared to have been written just before her death, and other facts seemed to show that the deceased woman was of a romantic ten dency and of an unsound state of mind. Dr. J. S. Beale, of Paddington-green, attended and performed a post mortem examination of the body. He had no doubt that deceased died from a dose of laudanum, which she appeared to have swallowed after getting into bed, and some hours before she was found dead. The state of the brain indicated unsoundness of mind. Mr. Austin admitted that he refused her money on Saturday night, and declared that he was com pelled to part from her to save himself from being imprisoned for debt. Verdict—Suicide from poison whilst in an unsound state of mind. POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE.—Sept. 4. GUILDHALL.—Richard Edwards, the son of a highly respectable country attorney, and James Ferguson, a printer, were summoned before Alder man Carter, to answer a charge of unlawfully con spiring with a man named Cordner to defraud a youth of the name of Beavis of three sums of £5, £l5, and £2O, under the following circumstances. Mr. Lewis, jun,, defended the prisoners. The complainant stated that on the 12th of July last he saw an advertisement in a newspaper which induced him to call at 222, Strand, where he saw the defendant Ferguson. Shortly afterwards a man came in and Ferguson introduced him as Mr. Cordner, the proprietor of a paper called the Employes' Advocate. Ferguson represented that the paper had been in existence for three or four weeks, and Cordner said the paper was a genuine affair, and referred witness to the advertise ments, which he said brought in £3O p er . column. He then explained that he did not require the clerks he had advertised for, but it was only a money collector, and it was ultimately arranged that witness should atten d to that de partment at a salary of £2 per week,andthioatthhee should pay a sum of £5O fcr a fourth share profits of the paper. He paid £ 5 deposit at that thMatonhdeay wasa further sum i nte r o v e i w 2 , o a . n d o lt n w t a h s e a f r o r l a l o n w g i e n d g the other £25 in a month. He paid the £2O at 31, Whitefriars-street, where he saw the defendant Edwards. That was the publishing-office, and on Saturday, the 19th of July, he again saw Edwards in Whitefriars-street, and he then ' represented to witness that they had obtained another column of advertisements, which witness believed were genuine, and Cordner, who was also present, said the concern was prospering, and pro posed, as witness had to pay £25 in a month, that he should pay £l5 on the 21st of July instead, by which Le would save £lO. He agreed to do so, and paid the amount on the day named to Cordner, to whom he also paid the £5 deposit. The £2O he paid to Edwards, and at his request called on a number of advertisers, but during the whole of the time he was so occupied he only collected ls. 3d. The publication of the paper ceased at the end of a fortnight, and witness then discovered that many of the advertisements were fictitious. He parted with his money on the faith that the representations with regard to the value of the advertisements were bona fide. After all this money was expended, Edwards and Cordner went down to Greenwich, with a person named Brown, wit h whom they the pro posed establishing a new s p a p er, to be called .. a b s u i, kept d ig sa,t butthe Greenwich Birkbeck Bank, in A s n ou a t c h c a o m un p t to w n witness never received a farthing of his money back, or a fraction of the salary agreed upon for his ser vices. He afterwards saw Ferguson, who said he knew the advertisements were not genuine, and that he would come up as a witness if required, as he had only received £2O for printing out of witness's £4O. Some of the advertisements were given him, he said, by Cordner, and others he put in on his own autho rity, to fill up the paper. About 3,000 copies of the paper were printed during witness's fortnight, and they were afterwards sold for waste paper. The clerk from the Birkbeck Bank proved that an account was opened on the 7th of June, in the names of Edwards and Cordner, when a sum of £3O was paid in. That account was closed on the 12th of July, and a new account opened in the name of Edwards and Co. on the 14th, with a sum of £2O, and on the 24th of the same month a further sum of £l5 was paid in, and that account was closed on the 26th of July. Mr. Walters, an anatomical instrument maker, of Moot gate-street, said the advertisement of his busi ness in the _Employes' Advocate was a copy of one he had inserted in another newspaper, but he never authorised its insertion in the newspaper produced. Mr. Lewis said there was no pretence for charg ing the defendants with conspiracy or defraud. Alderman Carter said it looked very like a cheat, and he regretted that Cordner was not before the Court. Mr. Roe, the summoning officer, said he held a warrant for the apprehension of Cordner, but had not been able to find him. Mr. Lewis said ho should like to see Cordner here, as Lis clients were as much the victims of Cordner as the complainant had been. Edwards was introduced to Cordner through the medium of an advertisement, and the £3O paid into the Bank on the 7th of June was the money Edwards blought into the concern. With regard to the defendant Ferguson, he had a claim of about £2O against Cordner for printing. Several witnesses were called, who gave Edwards an excellent character, after which Thomas Blower, a printer, of Black Horse-alley, Fleet-street, stated he printed the Employes' Ad vocate for Ferguson. The early numbers were called the Exhibition Directory. Some of the ad vertisements were good, many were bad, and others were put in by Ferguson's directions, merely to fill up. He had known him 16 or 18 years, and had recently employed him as a canvasser for advertise ments, at 20 per cent. commission. Ferguson was his customer, and always paid him for the printing. Mr. Lewis put in an account to show that nearly the whole of the £4O advanced by Beavis had been fairly expended, and submitted that his clients were the dupes of Cordner, who appeared to have victi mised every one h e could. Alderman C a rter said according to Ed war d s ' s ac count he had l o st his money, and had afterwards lent himself to Cordner to inveigle the young man complaining ; but the conduct of Ferguson- was even worse, for he had an office where ht I held him self forth as a printer, and represented t o ft e com plainant that the paper in question was a g enuine thing when he knew that the advertisenit nts which were represented by Cordner as the profit :at) le part of the concern, were not genuine. The evidence did not justify him in detaining the defend an ts, and as the complainant h, td gone into the matt cr with out exercising a p ro per vigilance before tn . tering into a partnersh;p with such parties, he coil l d not assist him even by adjour, the inquiry. The defendants were the,. "efore discharged.. r ged. :P'ECTAB LE SOUTHWARK. CAUTIC "II TO REF F EMA LES IN SEARCH OF EM 'PLOYINIED .T.—A fair COET tplexion, re spectable -looking man , rather . no whiskers, and of short stature, N , vho b a ve the name of James Carter, alias Harding, b ut re, fused to give his address, was placed at the bar befo, re Mr, Bur cham, just before the rising of the Cot art, charged with obtaining by false pretences a gold watch worth £lO 10s., £1 16s. 6d. in money, an d between £3 and £4 in goods, the property of Caroline Fowkes. The prosecutrix, a genteel and ladylike looking female, said that in July last she advertised in the Times for the ,sit nation of companion to a la dy. or housekeeper to an elderly lady ,or gentleman. Two days after that she received a letter signenines Harding, requesting her to meet him in d the Old Kent-road. She went there accoi-Elingly, and a t tw the prisoner, who told her !hat he ha answered be r a dvertieement, and from her appeara nee he had rt. , doubt she would suit him. Ne ,said that he halt just taken a large hotel in ti'e Isllsle of Wight - , (Wooton, she thought), and he wan teo: a steady and ladylike female to take cha r g e of the household and it was duties. She saw him twice afterwards, arranged that she should ent er on her ch Mies in a ' thaenses t. fortnight's time and he would p a y all ex p down. At the first interview he borrower a silk umbrella, as it rained. He neve r returnee On a second occasion she showed him her wt. itch, and told him she ,had broken the glass. He tt 'ok it up and put it into his pocket, promising to g it repaired for her. A\t his request she purchas eu with her own monoy sundry goods to th value of about £4 f:or him, and lent him £1 16s. 6d. in cash, which be promised to return to her in two days. He went e tway, and she never saw anything more of him until that day, when he fell into his own trap in the fcllowing singular manner :—About a week ago she put another ad vertisement in the Times in a different name, and. on Wednesday she received an answer signed James Carter. Witness compared the handwt-iti.ng of that with the former correspondence from Jtinlt 98 H aiding, and found it to correspond exactly. Be ing liatis fied that it was the prisoner, she ansa Tered his letter in a feigned ha n d, appointing a place of meet ing In the meantime she communicated N vith the police, and prisoner was given into custody v He was struck by surprise when he found that it was witness who had inserted the second advertise merit, and said if she came with him he would get hot- her watch and money. She, however, refused to have anything to say to him, an,i they all went to station-house. The prisoner here said that he- was a man of pro as it might go into the nov‘ vs p a p ers and in jure him, but if the lady would perry, but be did not like to give . his real name a nd address, go with him alone he would restore her her watch ant; the money. When he borrowed the latter from he he went to Birmingham on business, and had only just returned. Mr. Burcham asked him whether he wished to give any account of himself, or the lady's watch. He replied that all he had to say was, he was a man of property, and would take the lady to where the property was. George Holmes, 252 M, a detective officer,, said that in consequence of information he received from the prosecutrix, he met her by appointment that morning, and took the prisoner into custody. He refused to give his name and address. On search ing him he found a worthless watch and chain on him, and some memorandums, apparently the ad dresses of servants. Mr. Burcham remanded the prisoner until Mon day, to enable the police to make further inquiries.
