MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUELTY TO HORSES.-Mr, Samuel Rogers, carrier, of Cresswell-crescent, Sydenbam, was summoned before Mr. Knox this morning, for working a horse totally unfit for nee, the summons being taken out at the instance of Mr. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Last nght the mail train o n this line which leaves the Victoria station at Bp.m. met with (at present) an unaccount able accident between Sittingbourne and Teynham stations, and at about a quarter of a mile from the latter place. It appears that the train in question passed through Sitting bourne at 29 minutes past 9 p.m., without letting off steam, contrary to the custom with mail or express trains passing through the smaller stations, and when it reached a spot about two miles from Sittingbourne, it ran off the metals, the engine tearing away part of the up line, then apparently bounding back to its own line, and finally rushing across, the tender with it, barricading the road. The second-class carriage which was next the tender was thrown off the rails, being completely detached from the tender, the other car riages also being more or less upset. The engine-driver, named William Reed, was thrown out, and was found with the fire-box of the engine resting on his breast. The body was dreadfully mutilated, the poor fellow's right leg being broken below the knee, his scalp almost torn off, and, it is supposed, his chest being broken in. The stoker, in a manner that seems miraculous, escaped with a contusion of the spine and the scraping of the skin from the left hand. Five cr six of the passengers received slight contusions, but beyond these, as far as we could gather, we are happy to state, nothing of a serious nature occurred. The defendant's Carman was first charged, but Mr. Knox ordered a summons to be made out at once and served on the master, who was in Court, and discharged the carman. John Jenkins, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in Pall-mall, proved seeing the defendant's carman driving the horse, attached to a carrier's cart, which was fully laden, in Ox ford-street, the previous afternoon, and observing that the poor animal was lame and very weak, he examined it, and found that it was badly spavined, and had a sore as large as the palm of the hand on one of its shoulders, and another large sore under the:collar. The horse was in a lamentable state, appeared to have been severely flogged, and was alto gether totally unfit for work. Drs. Rae and Fisher, of Sittingbourne, were speedily made aware of the catastrophe, and hastened to the scene. Thes had those persons who were hurt sent on to Sitting bourne—one of the medical gentlemen (Dr. Rae) remain ing to see the driver extricated. On information of the accident being received at Faversham and Sittingbourne junctions gangs of workmen, porters, So., were immediately despatched to the spot, being accompanied by the respective station-masters, Messrs. Breeze and Barnard. The defendant's carman having been examined as a witness, Mr. Knox, after viewing the horse, said he should inflict a fine of £5 on the defendant, but if he at once handed the horse over to the society's officer to be slaughtered, and paid the greenyard fees, he would only fine him 10s. and costs. It would seem that a goods train was passing the mail train just before the accident occurred, and, in fact, had cleared the down train by about three yards when the latter " jumped." Had the goods train been but half a minute behind, the loss of life would probably have been fearful. Fortunately also there was no embankment just there, or the train must inevitably have been cast down. The sight presented by the line at the place of the accident was most surprising. For nearly 100 yards it was torn up, both up and down lines being snatched from their sleepers as if but straw. Part of the engine's funnel was embedded in the earth, the other being thrown about ten yards further on, while the dome was precipitated about twenty yards on the other, or down side of the line, and of course was much indented. The body of Reed was extricated after nearly three hours' labour in raising the engine by the aid of jacks, &c., and conveyed on a trolley to Sittingboume for the coroner's in quest, which will probably have been held this day, when some evidence will doubtless have been given as to the cause of this lamentable accident. We should have men tioned that the line was blocked until probably a late hour to-day. wiliai WESTMINSTER. DARING PLUNDER BY WOMEN.—Mary Ann Ander son, a young and respectably-attired woman, was placed at the bar, charged with being concerned with another woman, not in custody, of robbing Mr. Belling, a gentleman resi ding in Abingdon-street, Westminster. Prosecutor said—At half-past 12 last night, this woman and another in her company robbed me of my watch in Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place. As I was passing Tat tersall's-yard, in Grosvenor-place, they spoke to me, and I told them I did not wish to have anything to say to them ; but I had not proceeded many yards down Grosvenor place when they followed me, and each taking one of my arms pulled me ten or a dozen yards down Chapel-street. They then got round me and I immediately missed my watch. I accused the other woman, who made off pretty quickly, and I detained the prisoner. Mr. Paynter—ls the watch found ? Policeman—No, it is not ; but the ring was picked up on the pavement near where the robbery was committed. Mr. Poynter—How long before had you seen your watch safe ? Prosecutor—The very moment before they accosted me I looked at the clock at the entrance of the Park, and com pared my watch with it as I passed. Mr. Paynter—ls the other woman known ? Policeman—l did not see her at all, and have only had a description of her given by the prosecutor. Mr. Poynter (to prosecutor)—l suppose you never saw either of them before last night ? Prosecutor —Never. Prisoner was remanded for a week. THAMES. STRANGE CASE.—Henry Pearcy, a tall young man, who described himself as a labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with attempting to commit suicide. Mr. John Brown, a manure dealer, of No. 38, Long fellow-road, Bow, stated that at 9 o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner on the bank of the Regent's Canal near the iron railway bridge, in the parish of Bethnal Green. The strange manner of the prisoner attracted his attention, and he saw him give one, two, and three, and deliberately throw himself into the canal. The prisoner went down and came up again, and he shoved a piece of board towards him, to which he clung, and was saved. Mr. Selfe—Did you pull him out of the water ? Witness—l did, sir. The prisoner, on being asked why he jumped into the canal, replied carelessly—T o have a cooler, sir. Mr. Selfe—A cooler I The prisoner—Yes, a cooler. Mr. Selfe—With your clothes on? The prisoner—Yes, with my clothes on. Mr. Selfe—What do you mean by it ? The prisoner —I meant this—to have a cooler, and I had one. Mr. Selfe—You have been drinking to excess, I fear. The prisoner -4 have been drinking heavily the last few weeks. Mr. Selfe—What are you ? The prisoner —A cabowner. Mr. Selfe—You would have been drowned if that good man, Bruwn, had not saved you. I shall remand you for a week to the Clerkenwell House of Detention. SHIPPING---THIS DAY. • LONDON, Oct. 1 4.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; a oderate breeze, and cloudy weather.

TRICE OF GOLD The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25 . 20 per £ 1 sterling: On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4251 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5} per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, at about the s 'me price in London and Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 132 per cent., and the premium on gold is 20i per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THANKSGIVING SERVICES FOR THE HARVEST. — Services for this purpose will be held in St. Paul's, Lorri ,' more-square, Walwortb, to-morrow, and collections made in aid of the distressed operatives of the cotton districts. The Holy Communion will be celebrated at 7.30 and 11 a.m,; in the evening, at 8 p.m., there will be full choral service. METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DEVONSHIRE SQUARE, CITY.—The aggregate number of patients relieved during the week ending Oct. 11 was—medical, 1,496 ; sur gical, 643—total, 2,139, of which 794 were new cases. DESPERATE ATTACK BY GAROTTERS.—Yester day morning, about one o'clock, Joseph Cheetham, who lives at No. 47, Milner-square, Islington, for the purpose of taking care of the house of his employers, Messrs. Dove Brothers, was aroused from his sleep by a violent noise at the street door. He partly dressed himself and went down to see what was wanted. The moment the door was opened a man who was in wait under the p orc h sprung upon an d p i n i on ed him, thbreby depr iving him of all means of resist ance, and a second man, who had been waiting near the lamppost, came up and struck him repeatedly in the face, breaking two of his teeth; then s e i zed him by the throat with one hand, and thrust his other hand intoCheetham's m outh. While in thi▪ s position one of the garotte rs sna t c hed from his wai▪ stcoat cket a gold guard chain —they th en tr i ed h i s pockets, and also a golf A lbert chain which, fortunately, were empty, After holding hi m i n thi s mann er until he was almost, ins ensible, they released hi m a nd decamped with their booty through th e square. Cheetham states tha t he severely bit the hand th a t was i n his mouth. He is now in a most pitiable s t a t e , hi s mout h and throat much sw ollen, bruised, a n d discoloured. Two neighbours in the sq uare, hearing his groans, went to his assist an ce, and found the p oor fellow With his Noe covered with blod, THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. The ordinary quarterly meeting of the members of the Conservative Land Society was held at Exeter Hall, this afternoon—Viscount Ranelagh in the chair. The SECRETARY (➢lr. Gruneisen), having read the ad vertisement convening the meeting, Lord Ranelagh read the following report : " The executive committee experience more than ordi nary gratification in submitting their 40th quarterly report to the members, as the tenth anniversary was completed on the 7th of September last, and the Conservative Land So ciety has now entered on its 11th year. Its permanent prosperity will be proved by the annual accounts closing the financial operations of the year ending the 30th of Sep tember last. " The committee have the pleasure to state that they re elected William Astbury, Esq., and Newnham Winstan ley, Esq., as their two auditors, under rule 30, and the members will this day have to nominate two auditors, under the same rule, to audit the accounts of the society for the past year. The candidates for the two auditors to be elected by the shareholders are the Rev. William George Good child, Mr. James Goad, and Mr, Harding. The balance sheet for 1861-62 will be submitted at the usual annual meeting next December. " At the special meeting, which will be held this day, a requisition, duly signed, will be taken into consideration, proposing certain alterations in the existing rules. These changes and additions do not interfere in any manner with the fundamental principles of the society, but the com mittee have deemed it expedient, for the efficient protec tion of the shareholders, as well as to increase the sphere of usefulness of the society, to avail themselves of the powers confeiied by the law relating to friendly and benefit build ing. societies.

The Putney Heath Estate, and the first portion of the Colchester Estate, were offered to the holders of rights of choice, on the 16th of August last. The sale of land has been quite satisfactory for the past quarter, as well as for the year. Various improvements are being carried out, both on the Roehampton and Putney Heath Estates, and the Executive Committee, considering the great importance of this property, and the large increase of population which will result from the development of building operations, have set apart a freehold site for the erection of a church, in a most eligible situation. " The annual report will contain details of the year's allotments of the works on the estates in various counties. " The caution exercised in the land purchases, and the prudence in making advances of money for building and other purposes, have again secured for the Conservative Land Society a prosperous progress, and the Executive com mittee have entered with confidence on the 11th year, satis fied that a like result will be produced by adherence to the same principles in carrying on the society's business.

(From the New York Tribune of Sept. 30.) Our naval reporter yesterday visited the yards in which iron-clad ships are building for the Government. In them all the utmost energy and industry were visible. The fol lowing is a rough estimate of the number of hands em ployed in the different places named Delameter Works l,OOO men. Greenpoint Jersey City Dry Dock (Whitney's ship) Mr. Webb's Total Besides these, in nearly all first-class foundries and smitheries contracts have been obtained, thus necessitating the employment of more hands, In the Navy-yard there are nearly 4,000 men, and, working on the wooden vessels in course of construction hereabout, there must be at least 5,000 ; so that it would hardly exaggerate the fact to state that nearly 20,000 men are now employed in the vicinity o f New York, whose wages th e Navy Department will pay ultimately. The Weehawken will probably be the next iron-clad ves sel launched. She is building at Colwell's foundry in Jersey City. Pl a nki ng h as a l rea d y b egun, and the deck-floor is iron plates laid. O n th e upper part of the hull the first plates were laid yesterday. They form, with the wooden portion of the bulwarks, a defence quite as wide, and far stronger, than the generality of " stone walls," so common in the suburbs. The lower part of the hull is being planed and prepared for the mail. It is expected that by the Ist proximo the Weehawken will be afloat. In the same yard with this vessel, the Comanche, in tended for California, is being built. She is all iron. Work on her is advancing rapidly. Greenpoint is like a human beehive. Ears are worthless when once you get inside the bounds of the Continental Works, The Montauk, Kaatskill, and Passaic, of the nine Monitor fleet, and the Onondaga and Puritan of special fleet, are in hand, The Passaic, launched and " engined," is preparing rapidly for sea. The Montauk and Kaatskill will be afloat in a month. They are very much like their sister ships. The Puritan is the Great Eastern of the lot, being nearly as large as the three eombined. She is only in frame. The Onondaga is further advanced. She is all iron, and will have two turrets. The Morgan Iron Works are getting up her machinery. The Dictator is going up at the Delameter Iron Works. Her ribs are ship shape, and the several parts of the mon ster begin to look recognisable. Mr. Whitney's iron ship is more advanced than any save the Weehawken. The Moodna is the name given to her by Mr. Welles. The hull is finished, and a good portion of the armour on. The entire shell of the vessel is complete, and, if it were of wood, would be in launching condition. The turrets are two in number, and are nearly ready. Be fore the expiration of October the Moodna will be ready for floating out. Mr. Webb's ram has just been commenced. She will be 7,000 tons burden. All other ships on the iron system will be mere catamarans to her. At present she looks too un like anything to be described. In two months she will be a great ram, able to go to sea, and accommodate a larger ship's company than the Niagara. Her name has not been mentioned yet, but people think it ought to be Washington, as we have no man-of-war of that name. LOVE AND SUICIDE. Last evening Dr. Lankester held an inquest concerning the death of a young woman named Mary Martin, aged 22 years, who was found dead in one of the Highgate ponds on Saturday last under the following somewhat extraordi nary circumstances :—Anne Hill, of Alpha-terrace, Kil burn, was examined, and stated that deceased was her sister, and had been living with her for nine months pre viously to her death. She left her home at six o'clock on Thursday evening, after which witness never saw her alive again. She had been in the habit of leaving home at night when a policeman with whom she was in love was on night duty. When he was on day duty the deceased never went out at night. The policeman and deceased quarrelled sometimes. Witness did not charge the policeman with hav ing thrown her sister into the pond where she was found. Michael Maddigan, a labourer, said he was going to his work at Hampstead on Saturday morning. On passing near one of the ponds in the direction of Highgate-rise he heard two or three loud screams. He looked and saw some person in the water. He gave the alarm to another man and to a police-constable. When he heard the screams he saw no ono near the pond. It was nearly 7 o'clock when he heard the screams. Police-constable 51 S stated that he was on duty at Highgate at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning. In consequence of information received from last witness he and some other constables went to one of the Highgate ponds, and after dragging it for about an hour and a half they re covered the body of Mary Martin. There were the footmarks of a woman at the water's edge, but there were no indications of a struggle. The centre of the pond in which the body was found is about 20 ft - et deep, and the body lay at a distance of 60 feet from the shore. There was a woman's mantle lying on the bank, Police -constable 'William George Bundy, 138 S, was the next witness. He stated that he had been acquainted with the deceased. He saw her during the greater part of Thursday night and the greater part of Fri day night last. It was ten minutes after six on Saturday morning when she parted with him. She did not then threaten to make away with herself, but he had often heard her threaten to do so, and she had often asked him to kill her. She wanted him to marry her, and he would have done so had she conducted herself properly. He had never approved her coming after him at night. He had taken her home when she did so. She had attempted to destroy herself four times before within the last 18 months. The last of these attempts took place about four months ago, and at the sane pond as that in which she was found on Saturday. She asked him some time on Friday night for the loan of a sovereign to buy clothes. He refused, but stated that he would give her one if she procured a situation and showed an inclination to earn her bread. She became so excited sometimes that she lost herself. He thought that was because she had been a long time out of employment. She had been a servant. When he refused her the sovereign she did not threaten to destroy herself. She said she would buy clothes and get a situa tion if he lent it to her, and he now thought she'wouhl have done so. He had rescued her from drowning on two occa sions, and he thought she supposed him to be near her when she threw herself into the pond on Saturday. He parted with her at the end of the Aland-road, Kentish-town, a considerable distance from the pond. Mr. W. D. Saul, ono of the medical officers of St. Pancras Workhouse, proved that the deceased had died from drowning. There were no wounds on her person, except a slight abrasion on the cheek, which might have been caused by a fall or by the face hav ing been rubbed against the bottom of the pond. This was the whole of the evidence. The jury found that the de ceased had committed suicide while in an unsound state of mind. FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIST. MAILS DUE.

SLIP - I DISASTROUS oAT A QUARRY.A few day s ago an a l arm i ng acc id en t occurred at the Easdale Sl a t e Quarries, in Argyleshire, be moat to property is the con- Breadalbane, and immense extensive of the quarries is sequence. One of : til io e , d of o about half a mile in circum ference, on a emu"' very mild and tempestuous sea. o f the quarry has been generally ference, and is exposeodutto a The rubbish waggonstaken out thrown over the side. This, how filled into not a ver y secure bulwark, and from the ever, of itself d is , . it does not consolidate, and, the natural nature of the between the sea and the quarry being slate rock, A piece of the boundary reat extent lost sight 01. was eas i ly to k e g fell in, impelled by the great force of water boundary roc r_ There was no breach, groat ever, ,„ithou made, but from - e tunnel or perforation 20 only a larg . or 30 feet below the The extensive steam apparatus used for drawing so / face. pumps, cranes, cranks pumping u p the slates, consisting . of with inclined plane and railroae for taking up the g ear, slates, and a great portion of other v a l a able machinery, were precipitated into the quarry, which was nearly 300 feet deep. The quarry was soon filled with water, but luckily there was no loss of life, no one being at work at the time. Means are now being taken to reach the point where the perforation in the rock has been made, and, having built a strong wall at the point, so keep out the inroad of the sea. The water already in the quarry will then be pumped out —an operation which will require months to be completed. The expens9 will be very great—indeed, such that it was at one time doubted whether the recovery of the slates and sunken property would repay the cost ; but the quarry is a valuable working. About 80 families were thrown out 1 of employment by this catastrophe, but they have been pro vided with work at the other quarries belonging to his lordship, From 20,000 to 30,000 slates were made per day, for which there was an increasing demand, an d th e va l ue o f the slates at the bottom is estimated at £15,000. A new town is to be erected in the county of Quillota, under the name of 'American. Union ; the streets are to be named after all th e S out h American republics and Principal cities, SINGULAR CASE OF EXHUMING. We learn from Galignani that the Court of eds. cation has just heard an appeal from a judgment of the Imperial Court of Orleans, given under the following circumstances :—ln 1838 Madame and Madlle. de Castro died at Menars (Lair-et-Cher), and were buried in leaden coffins in the cemetery of that commune, but without any purchase of the ground having been made by their relatives. In 1850 the Mayor of Menars wrote to M. de Castro, then in Portugal, requesting to know whether he wished to purchase the ground where his wife and daughter were interred. M. de Castro replied that he intended to have their remains conveyed to the island of Terceira, where he resided, and that he should come to France in the following year to fetch them, and would then pay all expenses arising from the delay. M. de Castro, however, did not fulfil his promise, end two letters addressed to him, the last in 1855, remained un answered. The ground where Madame and Madile. de Castro were b ur i ed had already been respected. twice, while that occupied by others near them had been resumed, when in September last M. Chapuy, the deputy-mayor, after taking the advice of a chef-de-bureau at the Prefecture of Loir-et- Cher, determined to disinter the bodies, and apply the leaden coffins in repairing the cross of the cemetery. The coffins Niue accordingly taken up, forced open with chisels, and the bodies, which were in a good state of preservation, thrown back into the grave It was also st a t e d th a t th e bodies were indecently unshrouded to see whether they had any jewellery on them. The lead of the coffin was employed as proposed. This proceeding caused no little ex citement in the country, and M. Chapuy was prosecuted, with the permission of the Council of State, on a charge of violation of sepulture. He was acquitted by the police tribunal of Blois, and that decision, when appealed against by the publics Prosecutor, was confirmed by the Imperial Court of Orleans. The Procureur-Imperial of the Court of Orleans now appealed to the Court of Cessa tion, which has quashed both the preceding judg ments, on the ground of misinterpretation of the law, which, while authorising municipal authori ties to resume unpurehased ground after five years, does not confer the right of exhuming bodies and opening coffins found entire, as such exhumation is only legal under other conditions and for other reasons than the mere resumption of the ground by the municipal authorities. The Court has furtb.er ordered a new trial before the Imperial Court of Angers. MEgIGO. (From the Money Market lieview.) The course of events in Mexico moves steadily , forward towards the consummation which all who take an interest in the welfare of that country now desire to see. The first instalment of the French reinforcements has landed at Vera Cruz. At this moment probably not less than 20,000 ad ditional troops have touched the Mexican shore. Will any attempt be made to resist this force ? What are the pro babilities suggested by the actual state of circumstances ? The French have some months past had, at the utmost, in Mexico not more than 5,000 men. The last encounter between them and the Mexicans took place on the 14th of June. Since that time the French (left to conduct the war single .handed) have been standing purely on the defensive. What has been, on the other hand, the position of the Mexicans ? 'With the whole resources of the country at their disposal, their antagonists shut up in a single town, why have they not assembled their forces and gone to chas tise their invaders ? What a glorious opportunity have they had. Cut off from the possibility cf receiving resources, until the sickly season should be past, what chance could 5,000 French soldiers have had against the force of the whole Mexican nation ? Does not this single fact render the whole truth trans sparent ? Is it not clear that there is no such thing as an army, or a Government in the country It is said that Puebla is to be fortified. Puebla is the principal city between Orizaba and Mexico. But if the Mexicans have not been able to do anything against the French in the isolated position of the latter, with only 5,000 troops, what can they hope to do when that number shall be increased sixfold. Juarez will doubtless attempt to make some demonstra tion, in order to induce the French commander to treat with Doblado, a member of the Government equal in im portance to Juarez himself, has left the capital for Gua naxuato, one of the largest cities in the interior—professedly to organise a military force of defence there ; but another account tells us that his mission is to pacify the Sierra Gonda, the inhabitants of which were in insurrection. General Forey, the new French Commander-in-Chief, was to land at Vera Cruz early in September. He has issued an excellent address to the army, from Martinique. This officer takes with him instructions from his Govern ment, prepared with a full connaissance des causes, which the intervening time has enabled the French Government to acquire. It will be in the capital of the country that we shall see the solution of this great undertaking —so important to British interests. Under the protection of the French flag, the sober-minded portion of the community will have the opportunity of declaring their sentiments, and whether it is really their desire to continue to see their country in the condition in which it was described in the representation made last year to Earl Russell, by the merchants and others connected with Mexico, in the following terms :• "The condition of Mexico has gone from bad to worse. It has become one now, not merely of political agitation, but of entire social disorganisation. For three years the country has been without a Government—that is to say, without anything possessing the reality of that title, while those who have assumed to exercise the powers of Government have been themselves foremost in acts of law lessness—suspending the performance of obligations so lemnly entered into towards creditors, seizing continually funds which had been specifically appropriated to those creditors ; 'dissipating the resources of the State ; and crowning their acts of violence by tearing the seal of the British Legation from the property of British subjects, and forcibly laying hold of the same for the use of the Govern ment. In Mexico there ,is no security for person or pro perty. Within the last twelve months, no less than 23 Englishmen have been murdered there." For the redress of these wrongs and protection for the future, we must in fairness acknowledge we shall be in debted to the perseverence of our French neighbours. The establishment of tranquility there will open out to us a fine extension of our commerce. The Mexican debt will become to us a reality. The customs duties solemnly mortgaged thereto will be honestly applied to it, and some just arrange - ment will be made for the liquidation of the arrears of in terest, now 25i per cent. on the capital. But the party most benefited by what is going forward will be the Mexi can nation itself —relieved from a thraldom as oppressive as it has been infamous, in the form of factious and mock governments, organised for nothing but corruption and plunder.

THE GARIBALDI AND POPE EXCITEMENT IN LIVERPOOL.—Though it was anticipated that the lectures and preachings of Gavazzi on Friday night and on Sunday might have caused some excitement and rioting in Liver pool, fortunately quiet was maintained. Had any outburst, however, occurred, the police had made the most comprew hensive arrangements to quell the disturbance at its outset. At Birkenhead on Sunday there were knots of people in half-dozens moving about the neighbourhood of Holy Trinity Church (the scene of the recent attack); but n o combined movement was attempted.
