POLICY; INTELLIOBNCE .—( 77d8 Day.) BOW-STREET, EMBEZZLEMENT BY A. CLERK.—John William Nichols was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the preperty of his employers, Messrs, Firmin, button-makers, in the Strand. Mr. Dalton, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner had up to Monday last filled the office of collecting clerk to the Messrs. Firmin, the extensive button-makers. of the Shand. From circumstances that had transpired suspicion was entertained that something was wrong in his accounts. On being questioned by the manager of Messrs. Firmin, ho admitted that he was back in his accounts to a considerable sum, and at the same time he gave in an , leentint of th ,, money he had appropriated to his own use. The embezzlement appeared to have extended over the last 18 months. Mr. Blayney, tailor, of Charing-cross, said—l transact business with the Messrs. Firmin. In the last year there was an account due to them, and the prisoner called on me for payment in the month of October. I believe it to be so, as I find there is no date on the receipt he gave me. I paid him L 5 14s. in cash. I knew him to be in Messrs. Firmin's employ, from his having called upon me several times for them. Mr. Frederick Lach said—l am an outfitter, car rying on business at 90, Strand, and deal with Messrs. Firmin. In the month of January I owed an account to them, and the prisoner sailed upon me for it on the 30th of the same month. I paid him a lls. 4d. He gave me the receipt, which I produce. Mr. Samuel Clay—l am manager to the Messrs. Firmin, of the Strand. They are button manufacturers. The pri soner was in their service as collecting clerk at a salary of 7dutyHtsabk called a receipt b oo k. Th e money oo was, on receivi ng mone y ou t o f doors, to Oennnutey:lioltnd in ay last I h a d a conversation with him I said there had been a Mr. Blayne), and Mr. Lach has ne ver b een paid great neglect of duty on hi s p ar t in not collecting the accounts, and . also I expressed an opinion that some of them had b een p a id. Th e pr i soner said, "lam a defaulter." I asked hi m t o w h a t amount, 0 pern. annum. paidn bm. I‘' and he replied, "£104." Ho then gave me a list of the accounts he had received and never paid in. In answer to questions put by the prisoner's solicitor, Mr. Clay said—l do not re collect anythi ng e l se t h at occur red on the Monday. I did not give him into custody on that day, as I wished to see his father and acquaint him with the circumstances. Sergeant Holmes—l was instructed to take the prisoner into custody, but I was informed that I need not take any further trouble, as he would give himself up this morning. He did so. He said "I shall not oppose the case." His father was with him when he surrendered. Mr. Wilson—l should like to know what course your worship intends to adopt in this court. Mr. Henry said the last Act of Parliament passed pre vented him from dealing with cases of embezzlement; he could have done so had it been one of larceny. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO NIGHT-HOUSE BEEPERS.-Mr. Frederick Ernest, of the Bull's Head, Great Windmill -street, ap peared to answer a complaint made by I ns p ec t or Ch ar l es Bowles, of the C division , . of his permitting drunkenness in his house. The case was proved by Sergeant Appleton, who said that on visiting the defendant's house he found 11 prosti tutes and men drinking in front of the bar, some of them being drunk. He called the defendant's attention to the circumstance, and then left, and on again visiting the house, found the same conduct going on. The sergeant being asked for a definition of drunkenness, he had to hold the Inspector Bowles said the defendant s c a o iudn he e e r, , e o o n r s l i e d a e n r e against s i o t n t o d r k un e ep k :1 1 1 h m e s n e 1 f up. had kept the house two years, and it was very badly conducted. The defendant morning, and the p ersons t urne d had had his attention called to it over and over aga i n. He (Mr. Bowles) had visited the house, and seen prost i tutes and men of a low grade drinking there. Th e h ouse was kept out of open other till five houses theem admitted to th e d e f en d ant ' s. Though no previous conviction had taken pl ace, t h ere were in were many complaints from the inhabitants. lie wished also to state that two robberies had taken place in the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if the defendant kept a night-house for the sake of night. house profits, he must not be astonished at a case like this being brought against him.

D odsworth said that a little after two the defendants were in Oxford-street drunk and making a noise. He spoke to them and left, and directly after a dog came up to him and bit his trousers. He took out his truncheon to drive the dog away, when Eastcott struck him en the breast and Wilson poked at him with his umbrella, and at last the defendants were obliged to be taken into custody. One of the defendants said it was a little dog. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether he supposed because it was a little dog that it was to be allowed to bite people. Dodsworth having been corroborated, Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Eastcott 10s. or 14 days, and Wilson ss. or 7 days. TEE PROTECTOR ENDOIPMBET, LOAN, AND ANNUITY COMPANY. The ordinary annual general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday afternoon at the offices of the company, 34, King street,Cheapside-_-WilliamSmee, Esq., presided. The manager (Mr. Beadnell) having read the report (Which will be found in out advertising columns), the chairman lOW to MOW its adoption. He re marked upon the great benefits that had been accomplished through the instrumentality of the company, which held out to those who stood in need of immediate pecuniary assistance the greatest facility of having their 'wants supplied. The re payment of the money lent by the company was spread over one, two, and three years, and the interest paid for accommodation was as low as possible to afford remuneration to the shareholders. The company possessed the confi dence of the commercial world, and was then in a position to make immediate advances to those who required them. There was no expensive ma chinery to be set in motion previous to a borrower getting that which he required ; on the contrary, all he had to do was to lay his proposals on the counter of the company, and if the representations contained were true the money was immediately advanced. The report was unanimously adopted, the retiring officers re-elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman_ A FISH A WITNESS 'IN A COURT OF JUSTICE. A singular incident occurred at the Stafford Assizes, last Tuesday, in the cause " Timmins v. the Birmingham and Staffordshire Gas Company," in which the plaintiff sued the gas company for damages caused by them in allowing the tank gas water from their gasometer to flow into the plain tiff's well. Dr. Letheby, the analytical chemist, and officer of health of the City of London, being engaged as one of the scientific witnesses on the part of the gas company, he sought to prove that gas water could not have entered plaintiff's well because he found animalcules in the water. Mr. W. M. Williams and Mr. Bird, the chemical wit nesses for the plaintiff, suspecting that the learned doctor would advance the theory that animal life cannot exist in water tainted with gas, determined to give a flat contradiction by producing in court a live fish, swimming in a mixture of half an ounce of the gas task water with 25 ounces of pure water, having about the smell and taste of the water in plaintiff's well. Accordingly a fine healthy gud geon was caught in the river at Stafford, put into a basin, the basin filled with the above mixture, and slipped under a seat in court, ready for the doctor, should he advance his theory, which upon his examination he soon did, asserting most posi tively that the least taint of gas water would de stroy animal life, when, to his evident surprise, and amidst a general roar of laughter, in which the learned judge heartily joined, the basin with the fish swimming in it was lifted up and placed on the centre of the table, full in view of both judge and jury, and proving by his healthy movements that though the water was not agreeable, animal life was still possible in it. When the trial was over (which was in favour of the plaintiff), the fish was taken back to the river, and returned to his native element apparently none the worse for his short visit as a witness to the Stafford assizes. THIS DAY'S MAREBTS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very moderate ; nevertheless, owing to the bad condition of the samples, the trade was in a sluggish state, and late prices were with difficulty supported. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and all descriptions met a dull inquiry, at barely Monday's quota tions. Floating cargoes of grain were in heavy request, and the currencies had a drooping tendency. Malting barley was firm in price, otherwise the barley trade was dull, at about previous rates. In malt sales progressed slowly, on former terms. The show of oats was tolerably extensive, and the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, at rather lower currencies. Both beans and peas sold heavily, at fully tho late decline in their value. The flour trade was very drdl, and prices had a downward tendency. Brands sold heavily, at fully the late fall in the quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. Enz1i5h........ 660 ( 810 i :3,060 1 1,720' 490 saclu.

TIIE REVISED CODE. Lord ST. LEONARDS presented petitions against the revised code, Lord CRANWORTH presented several petitions against the revised code. Lord BELPER presented 26 petitions against the revised code. The Bishop of CHICHESTER also presented similar petitions. Petitions were also presented to a similar effect by the Earl of Derby, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Redesdale, the Bishop of London, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Colville, Lord liingsclown, the Arch• bishop of Canterbury, tho Marquis of Normanby,and seve ral other peers. THE INSOLVENCY COURT OFFICERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt obliged to mention a sulject which ho would willingly have let pass. The Bankruptcy Bill was read a second time in the House of Commons on the 14th of Feb. It went into committee on the 18th, and was fully discussed on the 21st and 25th, and the consideration of it was adjourned until the 18th of March. The bill was reported on the 22d, and the bill was finally read a third time on the Bth of April, so it was not the fact that the return moved for by Mr. Hunt was on the table at any time during which ;he bill was under discussion. The Earl of DERBY regretted that the noble lord should have referred to the subject. The retum cutainly was on the table, but that did not alter the case. It was moved for immediately after the i-itroduction of the bill, and it was produced before the bill was read a third time. It was well known that the return was to be made, so there had been plenty of time to remedy an error that might have been discovered in the bill. WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS INTO HER MAJESTY'S POSSESSIONS ABROAD. This bill went through committee. OFFICERS' COMMISSIONS BILL. On the motion of Earl DE GREY the house went into committee on this bill which was reported without amend ment. CONSOLIDATED FUND (£l8,000,000) BILL. This bill passed through committee. THE REVISED CODE. The Bishop of OXFORD having presented a number of petitions against the code, proceeded to put a question to the Lord President of the Council as to whether in the new minutes it was inteuded to provide that scholars in night schools were to be examined with the day scholars. The right reverend prelate dwelt with much earnestness on the advantages of the night schools to grown up youths which were calculated to draw forth the apparently forgotten, but only dormant know ledge formerly acquired in the day schools. He thought that it was a very hazardous arrangement to sub ject youths who came to these schools of their own accord to a strict examination. Earl GRAN VILLE expressed his full concurrence in the opinion expressed as to the value of night schools, and stated that when the Revised Code came into operation the Government would be bound to devise a plan providing for the examination of the children in those schools, which of course must take place at a later hour in the day.than the examination of the other scholars. The noble :earl then commented on and replied to some general criticisms on the Revised Code which had been made by the right rev. prelate. Lord OVERSTONE expressed his hope that their lord ships in dealing with that question would steadily bear in mind the value of annual examinations as the surest test of the excellency of the schools. He felt confident that the people of this country would take it as their simple guide in all the mystifications and complifications of this question that no system of instruction cou'd be safely relied Ivan as essentially sound which would not bear the test of indi vidual examination. Lord WODELIO USE cordially agreed with the remarks of Lord Overstone, and supported the principle of examina tion. After a few words from several noble lords the papers were ordered. Their lordships adjourned at half-past 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS._ The Great Northern Railway (No. 1) Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were consi dered and ordered for third reading :—Bollingthn (Prest bury) Improvement and Light;ng, &e., and the Faringdon Railway. THAMES. EXTENSIVE BURGLARIES.—IMPORTANT CASE. —Frede rick Wells White, late a labourer in the employ of the North London Railway Company, at their factory, in Bow, aged 40, and dwelling at the time of his apprehension at 4. 12, Violet-street, Bow-common, who has been in cus tody since the 4th instant, was brought up on remand and for final examination and committal, charged with the commission of several burglaries and robberies in Bow and Bromley, and with attempting to enter the premises of Mr. Sundley, a merchant, in the New-grove, Bow-road. Mrs. Abrahams, an elderly woman, and Charles Ben. jamin Abrahams, her son, late steward of the Earl of Auckland steamer, trading between Rotterdam and London, were charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the stolen property, they well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Win. Taylor, aged 60, a table cloth manufacturer of Croydon, was charged at this court, on the 10th inst.: with receiving four pieces of cloth which his wife had bought of her sister, Mrs. Abrahams, and three of which Mr. Taylor ordered to be burnt in his furnace on hearing that Mrs. Abrahams and her son were in custody. Mr. Taylor, who is a very respectable and wealthy manu facturer, was alarmed for the consequences of his wife's indiscretion when he heard his sister-in-law was in custody, was discharged, the magistrate remarking that he had acted very foolishly. John William Redway, a watch jeweller, of Rose-court, Tower-street, City, and formerly a police-constable, was arraigned with _Taylor on a charge of receiving some of the stolen property and remanded until Friday last. He was then admitted as a witness for the Crown, and gave evidence to-day implicating Mrs. Abrahams, to whose daughter he is married, and her son. White is also mar ried to another daughter of the woman Abrahams. Inspector Kerressey, of the K division, whose exertions in recovering the stolen property and establishing the case against the prisoners is deserving of great praise, said he had now 12 cases of burglary to prefer against White. They were all committed in Bow and Bromley, near the North London Railway line, which he often crossed and re-crossed in the night-time to effect his plans. Mr. Kerressey then produced a large quantity of valuable pro perty found at the lodgings of the prisoner White, in Violet-street, or traced to Mrs. Abrahams and her son . The Inspector also found 11 pawnbrokers' duplicates in the dwelling of White. They related to stolen property. Mr. Selfe decided on committing the prisoner White for trial, on the following four charges of burglary. The house of Mr. John Timberlake, of No. 3, Archibald-street, Bromley, was burglariously entered on the night of the 10th May last, and 10 pieces of cloth for table covers, value 52e. each, three coats, and three pairs of gloves, were stolen. 'The cloth was traced to Mrs. Abrahams and her sister, Mrs. Taylor, and Ridway, and ono piece, which had been dyed and converted into a cloak, was produced by Miss Redgrove, niece to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, shawl, and three of Croydon. The house of Mr. John Roger Watkins of The 8 u residence g r t g of } aMr. James Morton No. 1, Portland Villas, Bow-read, was entered on the night was broken into of the 10th of December last, and two silver pepper-castors, a ladies' companion, two coats, a F s r b an u c r i g s ia F ri a table Dunstan, silv e c r l o m t hi i s l o k , i‘j stolen.il l o g r silver n . on the night of the 27throoafdl), Bromley ,Fcember last, and a gold osciklveetrhsaungdakrertcohnigesf, and a small prayer book, carried away. silk brooch, p a of No. 1, K eness y produced nearly the whole of the pro pertyuournsi---n' y entered on the night of the 4th of February last, and two coats, a green cloth, a table cover, a silver watch guard, and £2 16s. ab stracted.

HIGH COURT OF lIIsTICIARY IN SCOTLAND.—The Edinburgh Courant learns that Lord Ivory hes resigned his gown as one of the Lords Commissioners of Justiciary, to which he was appointed in 1849, in room of Lord Medwyn, who at that date retired from the Justiciary Court.

"POET CLOSE" AGAIN.—The following letter was sent to the Secretary of State, in reference to Poet Close's " Christmas Book " :—" To Sir George Grey, Secretary of State.—Kirkby Stephen, March 12, 1862.—J. Close has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the presentation copy which Sir G. Grey declined to lay before the Queen, and begs leave respectfully to remark, that whereas Sir G. Grey has been pleased to keep the copy sent for himself, he might at least have had the courtesy to thank him I In the name of the gentry of this and other counties who have so kindly supported him, he declares that in preventing her Majesty seeing what must have pleased any feeling heart, viz., the poems in memoriam of the late Prince Consort (of which the Bishop of Carlisle, Lord Wensleydale, Sir G. Musgrave, Bart., the clergy, and others, have expressed their high approval), he must pronounce Sir G. Grey's conduct an act of petty tyranny, which will reflect dis grace on the Government, as being a display of narrow prejudice to the poet of Westmoreland, who, although not the ' Court Laureate,' has sung his best, and shown the emotion of a loyal heart; and the best can do no more. The above correspondence will shortly be published, when the world can judge between the Secretary of State and the poor, unjustly persecuted.—J. CLOSE, the poet." A CROWN CABINETMAKER. The Literary Gazette gives the following description of a caricature in a late number of the Kladderadatsch, or German Punch. It is entitled " A Crown Cabinetmaker," and the picture represents a workshop, in the middle of which the master (Napoleon III.) is busily engaged in polishing a new royal chair (Mexico). Many old broken chairs (Tuscany, Mo dena, Rome) are scattered here and there. His workman (Victor Emmanuel), pointing to a splendid chair (Italia), thus addresses his master :—" Now, master, I have almost finished the chair ; it requires only a bit of Venetian var nish and Roman antique for ornament." "My good fel low," replies the master, " pray don't bother me now. I have just received a pressing order from abroad; and before I have finished the chair you see yonder, I cannot attend 'to yours." PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Revised Code ;in favour of an amendment of the Poor-•law in Ire lpiad ; by Mr. WHALLEY against the Grant to May nooth, &c. SPIRITS AND WINES. Mr. THOMAS BARING moved returns of the quanti ties of British spirits used for home consumption hi the United Kingdom during each of the five years ending with 1861, and showing also the rates of duty on such spirit 3, and the amount of duty thereon in each year; of the quantities of brandy imported and entered for con sumption in the United Kingdom during each of the five years ending with 1861, and showing also the rates of duty on such brandy, and the amount of duty thereon in each year ; similar returns for rum end Geneva; and return of the different descriptions of wine imported and entered for consumption in the United King dom during each of the five years ending with 1861, and showing also the rates of duty on such wines, and the amount of duty thereon in each year.—Ordered. ARMY (COMMISSIONS). 9 different ret ur ns On the motion of Mr. CON I N GH AM of the names of candidates for commission who had passed their examination at Chelsea since June, 1860, and of the names of those candidates for commissions on the non-pur chase list, were ordered. FLOODS IN IRELAND. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the effects of the floods over the districts from Roscrea to the Shannon, and to the floods of the tributtu;es of the Barrow; and whether he intended to introduce any general drainage bill for Ireland ? Sir R. PEEL replied in the negative to both questions. ENTRANCE FROM PICCADILLY TO PARK-LANE Sir H. VERNEY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in consideration of the inconvenience and danger arising from the narrow entrance from Piccadilly to Park-lane, he would take measures to open the commu nication from Park-lane into Hamilton-place ? Mr. COWPER said that the communication in question had been recommended by a committee of the House of Commons in 1855, and the question was considered, when the difficulties in carrying out the recommendation were found to be so great that no steps had been taken in refer ence to the subject. When Hamilton-place was laid out in in 1849 it was intended that there should be no thoroughfare through it. If the communication proposed were carried out, it would necessitate passing through two gardens in Hamilton-place, belonging to persons who had taken them on a lease of 40 years. Under these circum stances he was not prepared to take any steps in reference to this communication, and he thought attention would be better directed to the widening of Park-lane. MEETING OF THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF ITALY. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he had received any official account of the meeting of the " Provisional Comraittzses of Italy," held at the Paganini Theatre at Genoa on Sunday the 9th March, and of the subsequent proceedings of those bodies, and whether he would lay copies of such despatches upon the table, or state their purport? Mr. LAYARD said her Majesty's Government had re ceived information on this subject in the way they had done in reference to other matters taking place abroad ; but he thought it would be most inconsistent and not due to the dignity of the Italian Government if the papers in question were laid on the table. DRAINAGE 1N IRELAND. Colonel DICKSON said that in consequence of what had fallen from the chief secretary for Ireland in reference to this subject, he gave notice that he would move for leave to bring a bill for the better drainage of Ireland. MARKETS AND FAIRS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BAGWELL moved certain instructions to the com mittee in order to render the bill more efficient, which, after some discussion, were agreed to. The house then went into committee on the bill, and after some discussion the various clauses were agreed to, and the house resumed. COPYRIGHT (WORKS OF ART) BILL, The house went into committee on this bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved to insert a great number of alterations in clauses Nos. 1 to 4, principally verbal ones, and they were agreed to. On clause 6, providing that a summary jurisdiction should be exercised by two or three justices where the party re- sided, Mr. HENLEY said he hoped that the summary jir r i, diction would be struck out of the bill. It was one of the most difficult things in the world to ascertain where these parties resided. Ile t hou g ht this jurisdiction ou ght to be e tr a n s ferred to the county courts. Tho S OLICITOR -GENERAL said the whole cl ause was taken from tw o acts in pari materia, respecting copyright in bo oks and designs. He uas not aware that the the diffi cu lty had arisen to which his right hon. friend had re f e rred. The co unt y court s had no jurisdicti on i n cr i m i na l matters. Mr. HENLEY said that the copyright in works of art was a very different thing from difficult to shop, wa s very ow , at was an infringement of a copyright in books. It it was r a th er a matter o f d amages. copyright in a picture. Besides this fine was not in the what n ature of a penalty, Mr. CONINGHAx gravings. wished to extend the penalty to en- Mr. C. BENTINCK hoped that the hon. and learned gentleman. WoUld give way on the question of referring de cisions in matters of art to the justices. At all events, it ought to be made optional. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL could not see why the same remedies which were applicable to copyright in books and designs should not be applied to copyright in pictures. He saw no objection to extending the penalties to a breach of copy right in engravings. Mr. HENLEY said he would move to strike out the words "by summary proceeding before two or three jus tices." The committee dirided, and the numbers were— For the clause For the amendment. 2l Majority —B The amendment was consequently lost. The other clauses were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. MUTINY BILL, This bill was read a second time. MARINE MUTINY BILL, This bill was read a second time. NETLEY HOSPITAL ESTATE. On the maion of Sir G. C. LEWD', leave was given to bring in a bill for extinguishing certain rights of wsy t hrough the Netley Hospital estate, in the parish of Bound, in the county of Southampton. MADRAS, &c., COMMUNICATION. On the motion of Sir J. ELPHINSTONE, a select com mittee was appointed to inquire into and report on the prac ticability of shortening the voyage to her Majesty's posses sions in Madras, Bengal. and Burrnah, by facilitating the passage through the obstruction known as Adam's Bridge and thereby avoiding the circumnavigation of Ceylon. The house then adjourned at 12 o'clock. 211 E CIVIL SERVICE .E,111.2114.T.E5. The Civil Service estimates 1,2, and 6, for the year ending March 1, 1863, were issued yesterday The sum required in class 1 f or public works and i sis lB l 6 B l- 9 2, 5,201f511b3e9,51 being 4a decrease, as com pared The c hi e f i tems p tild ea i buildings of increase are an increase of £54,519 for Holyhead and Portpatrick harbours, and of £29,158 for public buildings in Ireland, including Kingstown harbour. Oa almost every one of the other items there is a decrease ; for example, a decrease of £63,375 for new Westminster-bridge; of £50,500 for Westmin ster-bridge approaches; £22,045 for the new Houses of Parliament; £20,606 for lighthouses abroad; £15,000 for the new Foreign-office, &c. Class 2, salaries and expenses of public depart ments, shows an increase on the previous year of £24,563, which increase is spread over the whole of the items, the largest one being for poor-law com missions. The total sum required is £1,473,625. We observe a remarkable diminution in the esti mate for printing and stationery, the sum required for tie coming year being no less than £73,569 less than the amount voted last year. The saving effected through the remission of the paper duty has, however, been more than distributed in addi tional charges under other heads. The estimates in class 6, superannuations, retired allowances, gratuities, &c,, are £10,742 less than in. 1861-2, this reduction being caused by the non appearance in the present estimates of the item of £lO,OOO voted last year for Probate Act compensa tions. The total amount of this year's estimate is £338,896. THE 7AEPLYGS AT SHAIVGILAL The following extracts from a private letter from Shanghai have been communicated to us for publi cation : " At Hangkow, Nganking, liewkepg, and other places above Nanking, the people are returning to the cities. Houses are being built, and trade is returning. The Taepings leave a place, and imme diately Mandarin rule springs up again and confi dence is restored; the Taepings take a place--the people fly, houses are destroyed, and trade is at an end. From Woohoo (60 miles above Nanking) to Hangkow boats are seen along the river in numbers, fishing and carrying produce. Along the banks are people moving about and agriculturists at work. From Woohoo to Chinkeang there are no boats on the river, and the banks are deserted. So much for Taepingism versus Tung-che (the title recently given by the Regency to the present reign, which has been well translated union, in the cause of law and order'). A year's active and well-conducted operations on the part of the Imperialists would put down the rebellion and restore peace to the whole country; whereas, for the Taepings to be success ful, tens of years must elapse before they can make a step forward without abandoning places in their rear. If this rebellion is to go on, I foresee nothing but disorder for this country for 20 and more years to come. "Ningpo has been taken, and Hangchow fell after suffering all the horrors of a siege. So hard-pressed were the besieged that they had to eat the people taken from the prisons. On the capture of the city all the Mantchoos were put to the sword, and in the city about 400,000 people in all perished. The arms of the Taepings were bamboos, with iron nails for spearheads. But the Taepings were very numerous indeed. At Ningpo arms and munitions of war are pouring into their hands as fast as foreign. ships can carry them. Trade has been destroyed in all other respects. " The rebels also showed themselves at Shanghai two months ago, retired for a while, but during the last ten days they have returned, and they are steadily surrounding the place. The people from fhe country are rushing in here in thousands, and the villages around are in flames in every direction. Letters have come to the English and French Con suls, telling them the settlement will be safe if foreigners offer no opposition, and bidding them think twice before provoking the Heavenly wrath by aiding the Imperialists. The French are de termined to hold the city. The British idea would not of itself go beyond securing the safety of the settlement. But both must act together, and to Imperialist authorities the French will seem more friendly ;than the British. In fact, there, as at Pekin, appearances are deciding the Chinese in favour of the French. We have 500 French, 500 Sikhs, 60 Artillerymen, about 800 men-of-war's men, and 200 Volunteers to depend on.

TEADFUL ACCIDENT ON TILE NORTH lENT ROCHESTER, THURSDAY. A lamentable accident occurred on the North Kent Railway this afterneon, between Strood and Gravesend, attended, u nfortunately, with the death of one person and injury to several others. The train to which the accident occurred was the 3.10 I p.m., up train from S trood, which follows ilium. diately after the expr ess. The train was com posed o of seven carriages , consistin g of two of the large saloon first e class- ng ine. carriages,l,he traintw two left se Stroodeondsarid three n statithirds, togethe r with the g uard's break van directly attar w ithin a minute of i t s proper time , it s first stop page being at Higham. After leaving that. station it proceeded at a speed of between 20 and 30 miles an hour, when from some cause, which ca nnot be clearly asce r t a i ned, the at present metals, dragging ne ar l y the engine left the whole of the es,rriages after it. The engine driver , Richard Grant, imme diately used his endea vours to stop the train, but the engine, after running left the line a great number of yards, and, turned over on its left side, rolling down the bank into a deep ditch, dragging the guard's van and it. The fireman, nearly all the carriages after reman, Charles Grant, fortunately jumped from the engine before it turned over, and escaped 'with only some trifling hurts, Richard Grant, the driver, appeared to have remained on the engine until it turned over, and is very seriously injured. The head guard, an exceedingly steady man, named George Waller, who occupied the break next to the tender, was found beneath the wreck of the carriages, frightfully injured, and expired almost immediately afterwards. He had been in the service of the company al,Yreat number of years, and was a most valuable servant. The engine, a very large and powerful one, was buried in the ditch, and all the carriages which left the line were shattered to pieces. Fortunately, there were only a very few passengers in the train, or the lo ss of life must have been very great. Workmen had been engaged relaying the plates, and it is probable th e cause of the a ccident was that the workmen had omitted to properly secure the "keys" and nuts of the screws, Which being shaken by the express train passing over them, of their places on. the arrival of the dropped out next train.
