7IIE NAVY. The "Agamemnon, 86, screw, Capt. Thos. Hope, arrivrid at Spithead yesterday from Port Royal, Jamaica, bringing home Capt. Shadwell, C.B. and th' T remainder of the officers and crew from her Ma- jesty's ship Aboukir, transferred as flagship to the officer commanding at Port Royal. The Agamem non sailed from Port Royal on Aug. 29, steaming through the windward passage. After clearing the windward passage she experienced a succession of calms and light variable winds. Bermuda was sighted on Sept. 8, and numbers were exchanged in the distance with the Jason, steam corvette, steam ing out at the time. The light winds and calms continued as far as the banks of Newfoundland, when favourable winds were fallen in with, which enabled the voyage to be completed in 37 days. The ship awaits orders at Spithead. The Resistance, 16, iron ram, Capt. Chamberlain, has sailed from Spithead for Lisbon. The Osborne, Royal paddle yacht, Master• Co mmander Bower, sailed from Portsmouth at 4 30 p.m. on Saturday for Lisbon, having on board Sir Arthur C. Magennis, K.C.8., her Majesty's Envoy at the Court of Lisbon. From Lisbon the Osborne proceeds to Genoa, where she will take on board the Prince of Wales and the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, and remain in attendance upon their Royal Highnesses during their stay in the Mediterranean. A solid piece of iron, weighing 22cwt., was on Saturday rivetted to the Adventure, in dock at Woolwich to replace that portion of her keel which was carried away at St. John's. On examination of her injuries it was found that upwards of six tons of iron were lost from the keel and fore part of the hull in striking on the rock. The damages ex tend six feet beyond the bulkhead. The repairs are expected to the terminated about the 20th inst., when the interior of the hull will be recoated with cement throughout. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, arrived from Canada, at Spithead, on Saturday afternoon, with passengers and troops, &c., having sailed from Quebec on the 17th of September, arrived at Halifax on the 20th, and sailed again on the 25th. At Halifax was lying the Nile, 90, screw, flagship of Sir A. Milne; the Hero, 90, screw, Capt. Ryder (about to resign command of his ship and return to England; the Immortalite, screw fri gate, Capt. Hancock ; the Ariadne, screw frigate, Capt. Vansittart ; and the Medea, the Nimble, the Cygnet, the Steady, the Landrail, the Petrel, and the Plover. The Petrel had cleared out to get rid of yellow fever, by which she had lost her surgeon, as sistant-surgeon, two assistant-engineers, and 11 men. The Melpomene also arrived on the 21st Sept. from Nassau, with yellow fever on board, by which she had lost nine men, and two days afterwards the Spiteful arrived, suffering from the same cause, and by which she had lost one master's assistant and seven men. The Bishop of Nassau and his niece were also reported to be dead, but the news had not been fully confirmed wnen the Himalaya left. On the 24th Sept. the Admiral, with the Nile, Hero, and the gunboats, were outside for a few days' tar get practice. From Halifax the Himalaya brought the following passengers and troops, &c. :—Capt. F. E. B. Beaumont, Royal Engineers, 84 rank and file, 20 women, and 26 children ; Lieut. H. Locock, Royal Engineers ; Lieut. A. F. Edge, 2d Westlndia Regiment; Lieut. F. Dwyer, 2d battalion 17th Re giment; Ensign J. Arnott, 39th Regiment; Capt. J. C. Childs, Royal Artillery, 10th Brigade; Mr. C. Moore, Purveyor's Clerk; Mr. John Dawe, acting gunner, from the Petrel, dismissed his ship by order of court-martial; Mr. C.D. Smith, naval cadet,from the Nile for the Britannia ; Mr. John T. Harding, acting gunner third-class, from the Plover, who is to undergo three months' imprisonment by sentence of court-martial ; Mr. A. H. Campbell and Mr. A. W. Gilbert, naval cadets, who were disrated from midshipmen and dismissed their ship by order of coart-martial, for desertion ; Mr. Lancaster, assist.- paymaster, dismissed with disgrace by court-mar tial; 35 invalids, pensioners, objectionable charac ters, and prisoners. From Quebec she has brought Col. F. M. Eardley Wilmot, commanding 7th Bri gade Royal Artillery (Masters "Konrad and Arthur Wilmot, sons of Col. Wilmot); Limit-Colonel A. P. S. Green, Royal Artillery, who has effected an exchange from the 10th Brigade to the 7th with Col. Bens, R. A. ; Capt. C. Carpenter, Capt. and Adjut. James Barton, Capt. M. Tweedie ; Lieuts. A. S. Macartney, C. Long, and T. C. Price, Quarter master John Morris, and Assist.-Surg. H. C. Miles, all of the 7th Brigade; Capt. W. Crossman, Royal Engineers ; Staff-Stirg. T. L. Blatherwiek ; Mr. G. M. Thorn, Military Store Department ; Lieut. Young, Royal Artillery, on leave; Major Armstrong, Ist battalion 16th Regiment, on leave; Lieut. F. Jefferson, lst battalion 16th Regiment, on leave ; Lieut. C. Ashbnrnham, 4th battalion 60th Rifles, on leave ; Capt.' Straton, 47th Regiment, on leave ; Staff-Surg. Duncan Rennie and Staff-Assist.-Surg. E. Low, M. 8., who went out in medical charge of women and children ; and the wives, children, and servants of various officers. The total numbers were —two batteries and head-quarters of the 7th Bri gode of Royal Artillery, 219 rank and file, 51 women, 76 children ; detachments and prisoners from various regiments in Canada, 22 rank and file, 5 women, 11 children. On the Himalaya arriving at Spithead orders were telegraphed to her to pro ceed to Woolwich with her freight, which she did immediately without dropping her anchor. The following appointments were made on :.-- Saturday at the Admiralty Walter P. J. Purcell, assist.-surgeon, to the Dasher ; and Gerald Molloy, assist.-surgeon, to the Nile. The name of Mr. Frederick P. Trench, nominated to a naval cadet ship, was erroneously printed "French" in The 'Sun of Saturday. THE ARMY. Major-General Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham district, completed his half-yearlyin spection of the Ist division depot brigade, Royal Artillery, on Saturday. Major-General Eyre, who was accompanied by Col. Nedham, commending the Royal Artillery in the Chatham district, first in spected the garrison hospital, which was found to be in excellent order. After leaving the hospital Major-General Eyre repaired to the garrison parade ground, where the officers and men composing the Ist division, numbering 700 men of all ranks, were drawn up in line, in heavy marching order, and re ceived the general with the usual salute. The arms and accoutrements of the non-commissioned officers and men having been inspected, the division marched past in open and close column, in slow and quick time, subsequently to which they were put through a variety of battalion evolutions by Lieut.- Col. Talbot, all of which were executed with great steadiness and precision. A fter an examination of the kits the division was for me d i nto a hollow square, w hen the usual invitation was given to any man who had a complaint to make to a so, but no re sponseA portion of the was given-bri gade was afterwards marched to the fortifications, w h en the officers and men were put through an extended course of gun drill with the 110-pounder Arna st , ongs and the 68-pounder smooth• bore guns. The target was laid out at a distance of 2,000 yards, the prac tice commencing with 68-pounder solid shot, which was afterwards extended to the conical and segment 110-pounder Armstrong shell. The practice was exceedingly good, and gave much satisfaction to the inspecting general. The inspection terminated with Gen. Eyre visiting the provost establishment and the range of buildings recently erected for mar ried troops, and inspected the official documents, books, and accounts of the brigade. The Prince-Jerome line-of-battle ship, on board t o f which a fire had b roken out whe n having from sonboard for Mexico , arrived at Toulon two days ago fm Gibraltar, a ft e r having remove d all her p assen g ers and h er stores on board the Drya d e frigate transport, which had been sentZ Gibraltar for that purpose, and which has proceeded with them to Mexico. A commission has been ordered to exa mine the Prince-Jerome in order to decide whether it will be necessary to disarm her, or whether she can be repaired without proceeding to that measure. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. —The past week has been the most unfavourable of all in its returns since the shilling admissions have commenced. The previ ews week, as compared with the same date in ISSI, showed a decrease of more than 60,000, or upwards of 10,000 a day. Ita:rsmt more than 2, the total falling off has been no less than 135,239, 000 a day, 7HE ACCIDENT TO THE PANTALOON. COURT MARTIAL ON HER OFFICERS. The late officers and crew of the Pantaloon, 11,1 screw-sloop, having recently arrived at Plymouth in the Exmouth, from the Mediterrane ,n, overland from Bombay, a court-martial was assembled on board the Royal Adelaide, guard-ship in Hamoaze, on Saturday last, to inquire into the circumstances under which the Pantaloon was grounded on a coral reef to the southward of Manhaire or Devil's Point of Pomba Bay, Mozambique, East Coast of Africa, at about 8.15 p.m., on the sth of February lest, Com. W. R. Hobson, Lieut. G. C. Sinclair, and C. J. Wise, and G. H. Dominy, Esq., Master, the four chief executive officers of the sloop, being put on their trial for their conduct on that occasion. The following officers composed the court :—Capt. A. C. Key, C.B. (Indus), President ; Capts. J. A. Payn ter (Exmouth), L. G. Heath, C.B. (Cambridge), T. D. A. Fortescue (Phcebe), C. Vesey (Royal Adelaide), and William Eastlake, Esq., Deputy- Judge-Advocate. The letters of Commander Hobson to his senior officers, and to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, informing them of the accident, and their lordships' directions for the holding of the inquiry having been read, the following officers and crew of the Pantaloon were examined by the Court, seriatim ; —Mr. A. A. Lyne (clerk), Mr. G. H. Dominy (master), Commander W. R. Hobson, Mr. G. F. Channon (engineer in charge), Lieutenant G. C. Sinclair, Lieutenant C. J. Wise, James Mark , ham (quartermaster), and William Lloyd (quar termaster). Mr. Chas. Gahan, master of the Royal Adelaide, also certified to his having examined and ' checked the Pantaloon's log up to four o'clock on the day she struck, the calculations of which he found perfectly correct. There were no course, he said, given beyond that time. From the evidence submitted it appeared that the Pantaloon on the occasion formed part of the Cape of Good Hope squadron, and was despatched into the Mozambique by the Admiral, Sir Baldwin Wal ker, for the suppression of the slave trade. She had visited Johanna, and was proceeding to Pomba Bay, where Commander Hobson expected to obtain some valuable information, upon which he intended to act by equipping some of his boats, despatching them to search inside some reefs, and then subsequently pick ing them up further along the coast. The Panta- loon had on board two Government chronometers, and a private one belonging to Commander Hobson, which were considered to be in very serviceable con dition, and were rated at Johanna on the previous 28th of January. She had not swung ship since leaving England to test her compasses at Simon's Bay and Johanna, where she had called, having been prevented by a variety of circumstances. Their variations had, however, been regularly corrected by amplitudes and azimuths, and an amplitude was taken on the day previous to that on which the ship struck: On the sth of February, about noon, the land was sighted from the mast-head, and about the same time her position was ascertained by a meridian altitude and by chronometer, when a current was found of about 15 miles N.W. from the previous 24 hours. She stood in towards the land till about 4 o'clock, on a course. After that she was steered by the land. Lieutenant Sinclair had charge of the two dog-watches, and from five o'clock the master was on deck. From six p.m. a hand was kept in the port chains trying for a sounding, and at 7 o'clock a quartermaster was put on in addition in the star board-quarter boat for the same purpose. At 8 o'clock Lieutenant Wise relieved the watch when he found Commander Hobson and the master on the bridge coursing the ship. It was a moonlight night, with hazy weather and very light wind. The ship's way had been reduced, and she was going between three and four knots, with her fore and aft sails set. The leadsmen were reporting 15 fathoms up, and no bottom. There were look-out on the catheads and on the life-buoy, but they made no special report, and the watch were in the netting passing the line for a cast of the deep-sea lead. Commander Hobson having just given notice to the engine room to stand by to stop the engines for that purpose, when the vessel suddenly grounded on the reef. Every exertion was immediately made to get the vessel off, but unfortunately without suc cess. It was at the height of the tide when the vessel struck, but a neap tide. After continuous strenuous efforts the ship was at length got off on the 12th of February, with the assistance of some na tive dhows that had been procured, and the Portu guese war steamer Marianne, which was promptly despatched by Don Joaz Tavares D'Alemeida, the Governor of Mozambique, to assist. During the time the Pantaloon was on the reef they were obliged to throw her guns out on the reef and to dismantle her, and a large quantity of her stores were destroyed and lost. Two of her crew were also lost on the upsetting of her boats, when getting the crew and stores ashore on her being dis mantled. The Pantaloon was then taken to Mozambique and temporarily repaired and refitted, from whence she proceeded to Bombay to complete. Commander Hobson read a long and eloquent ad dress in defence, in which he urged that his sailing orders, directing him to be at a certain place by a certain time, and that time growing short, together with the uncertainty of his whereabouts if he had laid off during the night, as he might have been taken considerably out of his way by the currents, and the additional expenditure of coal incurred, had induced Em to try to reach Pomba that night. He pointed out, also, the favourable state of the weather and the various cautions he had taken to prevent such an accident occurring; and concluded by sub mitting to the favourable consideration of the Court his subsequent exertions in the recovery of the vessel. He also warmly lauded the conduct of his officers and crew on the occasion. Dominey read a short defence to a similar effect. The Court decided that, after the examination of the witnesses, having very materially and delibe rately weighed and considered the evidence, as well as what had been offered in defence, they were of opinion that no blame was attached to Lieuts. Sin clair and Wise, and that the Pantaloon was grounded in consequence of an incorrect estimate that was made of the distance from the land,and from neglect in not the ship's way to endeavour to ob tainsstopping o u n di ngs . They therefore considered great blame was attributable to Commander Hobson and Mr. Dominy for their conduct on the occasion ; and further, that Commander Hobson exhibited a great want of caution in attempting to enter Pomba Bay after dark, considering the uncertain guides that Hobson on existed for that part of the coast, the service on which the Pantaloon w as em p lo y ed bein g also not so urgent as to authorisead dhietnd tcuram oincuurnsduecr llha and in consequence, jug and Mr. Dominy to be severely reprimanded. On the rising of the Court the President took oc casion to say to Commander Hobson and the officers 1 and crew of the Pantaloon, that notwithstanding the decision the Court had come to, they could not separate without expressing their high approbation of the meritorious conduct shown by all belonging to the ship in their exertions for her recovery, and. the Court's expressing their hope to see them again, ere long, in active service. - - A. murder was committed twc;"nights s ince be tween Ramilli es an d E wers (N or d) on the person of a farmer of th e l atter place, named Deneubourg. It appears that the d eceased was returning from Cambrai, where h e had bought a piece of land at an auction sale, having out bid one of his neighbours named Potiez, who had long wished to possess the piece of land in question. After the sale the two men started to return home in company, but by the way they entered a putlichouse at Ramillies, and there quarrel led about the land, but aft er dark resumed' their homeward journey, apparently on good terms.

GA.RIBALDIAN RIO7S IN HYDE-PARK. THE SYMPATHIES OF THE ARMY. Hyde-park yesterday was the scene of a riot far exceeding in magnitude and in its serious conse quences that which took place on the previous Sun day. In consequence of the interruption there was to the meeting of sympathy with Garibaldi by a body of Irish roughs, and who succeeded in thwart ing the object of its conveners, large bodies of work ing men had given notice to the committee that they intended being present in the park yesterday and supporting them at all hazards. The committee, not feeling justified in incurring the responsibility of calling a second meeting for yesterday, when a col lision was likely to ensue, determined to abandon their intention to hold the meeting, and during last week issued a notice to that effect. The publicity given through the press to last Sunday's proceed. ings, however, combined with the fact that the abandonment of the meeting had not become gene rally known, caused an immense assemblage in the park yesterday. Before 2 o'clock all the principal thoroughfares leading to Hyde-park were crowded with persons proceeding towards it, many of them carrying thick sticks, and by 3 o'clock the police on duty estimated that. 100,000 persons had passed through the park gates. As on the previous Sunday the mound of earth near the Marble arch was the centre of attraction, and at an early hour of the afternoon it was taken possession of by a body of about 200 Irish labourers, armed with bludgeons, who at once raised the cry of " Three cheers for the Pope, and down with Garibaldi." Immediately sur rounding this mound were stationed about 500 more of the same class similarly armed, and who openly expressed their intention to oppose by force any meeting being held in favonr of Garibaldi. It soon became rumoured through *e crowd that the com mittee did not intend holding any meeting, and while many approved of this decision, by far the greater number `expressed much disappointment. On this becoming known to the Irish party on and about the mound, they set up a loud shout, and began taunting the Garibaldian party for their cowardice. A working man who, unperceived by the Irish, had made his way on to the mound, here rushed to the front, and, waving his hat, and hold ing a board with the name of Garibaldi painted on it, called upon the vast mass of people in front and around the mound to give three cheers for the Ita lian patriot, which appeal was responded to by a tremendous burst of cheering from the assembled thousands. In an instant a dozen of the Irish blud geons rattled about the head of the Garibaldian champion, and he was hurled from the mound bleeding profusely. This was the first act of violence committed, and was followed by a desperate rush of the Garibaldians upon the Irishmen, who, from the advan tageous position they held, their determina tion, and the free use of their cudgels, succeeded in beating back their assailants, but few of whom had anything but nature's weapons at their com mand. Just at this time a body of powerful Irish labourers and others came upon the ground, all armed with sticks, and fought their way up to their countrymen, who, thus reinforced, and emboldened by their recent triumph, with loud hurrahs for the Pope made a desperate rush amidst the crowd, knocking down indiscriminately men, women, and children, amongst others two or three soldiers of the Guards, who seemed an especial object of dislike to the Irishmen. The Garibaldians, irritated at this cowardly and ruffianly attack, and headed by about 20 soldiers who had rushed to the aid of their com rades, then fought their way up to the mound, and after a severe struggle with the Irishmen ranged round its base, succeeded in obtaining a footing upon it. The scene now became one of great excitement. The soldiers, who were armed with sticks supplied them by the crowd, amid the cheering of the Gari baldians and the yells and shouting of the Irish, laid about them with unsparing vigour. The blows from the sticks resounded on all sides, and blood began to flow freely from the heads of both parties. Each soldier had at least a dozen assailants to con tend with, many of whom were evidently expert at the use of their weapons, and possessed of sufficient ferocity to make them most formidable opponents. At least a dozen men were lying at this time bleed ing and senseless on the top of the mound, and the soldiers were on the point of being overpowered by numbers, when about half-a-dozen of the Life Guards, about the same number of the 3d Buffs, followed by a body of at least 50 working men with sticks and umbrellas, rushed on to the mound and turned the tide of victory. After a terrific melee of about five minutes the Irish gave way, and made a precipitate retreat from their position. One soldier of the 3d Buffs, a short thickset man, armed with a piece of park rail, knocked down six of the Irishmen in succession, receiving in return a severe woundin the forehead. As the Irishmen were beaten from the mound, the people below seized upon those who had made themselves most conspicuous, and dragged them to the outskirts of the crowd, and gave them in charge to the police, several of whom were there stationed, but with orders not to inter fere unless under the personal orders of the com missioner. Those who were identified as having taken an active part in the first onslaught on the people were at once taken off to the station-house. The Garibaldians and the soldiers being now in possession of the mound, one of the soldiers was hoisted on the shoulders of his comrades, and said if any of the committee were present who had called the meeting last Sunday, and wished to propose a resolution in favour of Garibaldi, the soldiers woul form a circle around the mound, and guarantee them a hearing. No one, however, responded to this ap peal, but it gave rise to one of the greatest bursts of cheers that ever resounded in Hyde-park, fol • lowed by more cheers for the army. The Irish, now driven from the mound and rendered perfectly in furiate by their defeat in that quarter, formed themselves into several detached bodies of about 200 each, and forcing their way into the crowd in diffe rent directions, began striking at all within their reach. It was estimated that there were at this time 200,000 assembled, and the wishes of one por tion of the crowd to escape the blows of these ruf fians, the determined stand made against them by other portions, the shouts of the men, the shrieks of the women, and the cries of the juveniles, presented a scene of the most alarming description. Sticks were being used and stones were flying in all direc tions, and at least 2,000 people were battling in dif ferent parts of the park. In some cases knives were used, and several persons were taken off the ground who had been stabbed. About 500 soldiers were now mixed up in the crowd, great numbers of whom were fighting against the Irishmen, who at last were overpowered, and fled in all directions, many of them meeting with knots of Garibaidians, by whom they were severely maltreated. Sir It. Mayne and Captain Harris, the Commissioners of Police, now uue came upon the ground, and it getting dusk, and seeing the alarming state of affairs, despatched a constable to the W e llington Barracks forastrong tphieckceotmmofantdhe:uasniloieffirsc,era,bhouutt with out whom, under arms, speedily attended, one party taking pos session of the mound, and the other ordering the soldiers into barracks. A strong body of the D division of police, who had been kept in reserve in the Marble-arch, were also brought on the ground under the command f C • 0 Captain Harris. These mea sures, combined with the retreat of the Irishmen, and the approach of dusk, put a stop to the proceed ings, and the people gradually left the park, which became quite cleared byffi o'clock A large number of persons were severely injured during the after noon, and the various surgeries in the neighbour hood were crowded with parties waiting to have their wounds dressed. It is to be hoped the autho rities will take measures to prevent any repetition of these disgraceful doings next Sunday.

KING'S LYNN, SUNDAY AFTEROON. The series of misfortunes in the train of the Middle Level catastrophe seems almost endless. At about six o'clock on Saturday evening the out fall sluice of the Marshland Smeeth and Fen Drain, an important arterial drain running into the Ouse, about 200 or 300 yards northward of the ruined Middle Level Sluice, became the subject of an acci- dent precisly similar to that which destroyed the last-named work on the 4th of May last. The re- suit has been again to flood a portion of the Fen country, and the extent of the inundation will very probably be in a day or two as great as that of the celebrated " Middle Level deluge." It may be re collected that in consequence of that " deluge" a great quantity of water had to be discharged off the drowned lands through the Marshland Smeeth and Fen Drain, and the adjoining Marshland Sewer, both of which run parallel for a considerable dis tance to their outfall sluices—the one draining the Fens and the other the higher lands of Marshland proper. This unusual test of the two sluices caused some apprehension as to their safety; and in conse quence, shortly after the Middle Level inundation, both sluices were strengthened by an " apron" of clunch, held up by piles, being laid against the outer face, and the adjoining banks faggoted and further secured by walls of sheet piling. In the case of the Smeeth and Fen Drain these precautions have proved unavailing. Nothing peculiar was noticea about the work until about ten minutes be- fore the injury was fully developed. At that time the sluice-keeper, Smith, casually observed what he thought was a log of wood across the roadway over the sluice bridge, and going to the spot found it was a deep and extensive fissure. He had scarcely time to examine it when the bank against the south ern side of the sluice fell in with a crash, leaving a gap of 40 feet width in the roadway. The cause of this evidently was that the water rushing down the drain had undermined, and scoured away the earth behind the southern flank walls of the sluice exactly as in the case of the Middle Level sluice, but with this difference, that the sluice itself (which consists of one arch only)is at present left standing. It is, however, very much injured, the bank on the north side is cracking and crumbling in ; and in a tide or two, the sluice must inevitably fall into ruins. In the meantime the water runs through the gap it has made for itself ; and such is the force of this stream out and the tide inward, that the bed of the drain is partly filled for a hundred yards up wards with bricks, stone, earth, and other debris, washed away from the sluice. The occurrence took place about an hour and a half after high water ; and, of course, on the return of the tide, the sea water flowed up the drain, and though the springs have only just begun to " put in," the top of the tide was sufficiently high for the water to pour over the banks for a space of some 300 yards above the sluice into the adjoining Marshland drains, running up into the Marshland internal drains, and causing great apprehension. It also, at a distance of a mile or two up the drain, overflowed the opposite bank, and again flooded some of the identical lands in the occupation of Mr. Little, Mr, Robert Coe, and others, in Marshland Fen, which were drowned by the bursting of the Middle Level banks, and had only within the last few weeks been reclaimed and brought into cultivation. The flood has also run through the culverts under the Middle Level Drain, and again drowned some of the land in Broad and Short Fens, and threatens Bardolph and Stow Fens. Of course, immediately the misfortune became known, the Marshland, Smeeth, and Fen commis sioners took steps to prevent, as far as possible, its further extension. Mr. Wm. Wright, Mr. James Walker, Mr. Harry Little, and others, consulted as to the steps to be taken, and it was at first attemp ted to make a dam for the exclusion of the sea water at Thornton's Bridge, two miles above the sluice ; but this was soon abandoned, and, under the direction of Mr. N. D. Harding, C.E., about 200 navies were set to work to form a dam, with sacks of earth, close to the first bridge above the sluice, near St. Mary's Church, the parapet of the bridge being thrown down to facilitate the tipping of the sacks. The work was continued all Satur day night and Sunday, and considerable progress was made, but there was no reason to hope for its success that day, and the consequences of the after noon's tide it is feared must be very serious. Some men have been set to work "cradging" (i.e., making a small ridge of clay) along the banks of both the Smeeth and Fen Drain and the Marshland Sewer ; but the banks of both are so low in many places that the lands on both sides are in the greatest danger ; and, besides, great apprehensions are entertained that the Marshland Sewer sluice will ere long suc cumb to the unusual pressure upon it and follow the example of its neighbour. The opinion of all com petent judges and of the residents themselves is, that a large breadth of country must be inevitably drowned by the approaching spring tides, unless the success of the works in progress for excluding the sea water should be all but miraculous. The announcement of the occurrence in Lynn on Saturday night was at first received as one of those innumerable canards which have owed their birth to the Middle Level deluge, but on its truth being ascertained, hundreds of people flocked to the spot, L and all Sunday the scene has been similar to that which used to be witnessed at the celebrated dam. COLLISION ON THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. LOSS OF LIFE. A very serious accident occurred near Milford Junction, a few miles from York, on Friday evening last, which resulted fatally, and was attended with much destruction of property. It appears that a heavy goods train from Darlington, consisting of about 40 carriages, laden with pig iron, arrived at the Sherburn•branch end of the Old Junction (which runs and joins to the Hull main line) about 11.15 p.m. At the same moment a Hull goods train, grain laden, was passing along this loop line, which joins the main line in an oblique direction, near to the Sherburn station. Both trains were proceed ing with some degree of velocity; consequently when,through some misunderstanding or negligence in the signalling, the two trains unfortunately met, the shock must have been terrific. The left buffer of the Hull engine struck the right front of the approaching one from Darlington, and shattered a large portion of the latter to pieces. The sud den inertness of the front acting against the mo mentum of the latter portion of the Darlington train caused the waggons to burst asunder in the middle and take a sideways direction. Some of them struck the engine-tender and " crumpled" it to pieces like a piece of tissue paper. Some 20 to 30 yards of the main line was torn up, and the debris caused by this and other means had the effect of stopping the traffic for soma time. The driver of the northern train was jerked off his en gine a long distance on to some waggons, and was taken up very much shaken and bruised, but for tunately no bones were broken, and after a few hours he was enabled to depart home to Darlington. His companion, the:stoker, unfortunately met with a more melancholy fate. He seems to have been oiling the fore part of the engine, when he probably noticed the converging train, and jumped into the six foot-way to save himself. Here he must have been knocked down by the loose waggons, for his mutilated remains were found under ono of them, crushed to the most minute atoms. He was killed instantaneously. His name is Markham, and he has left a destitute wife and three children, who at present reside at Darling ton. The driver and fireman of the Hull train were also seriously shaken and bruised, but they sufficiently recovered to proceed to Hull by the next train. As to the cause of this unfortunate affair, nothing probably will be known, until the inquest takes place on the body of the deceased, but a knowledge of the locality, which may be described as particularly flat and unobscure. If blame attaches to any one, it will probably rest between the signal man and the driver of the Hull goods train. It can no t b e b e li eve d that the affair is purely. accidental, and consequently a searching investiga tion will no doubt result, 211 E CIRCASSIAN CHIEFS Al MACCLES FIELD. On Friday the two Circassian chiefs, who have visited this country for the purpose of presenting an address to the Queen, attended a meeting held at the Macclesfield Town Hall. The object of the address, which was presented during the month of September, was to obtain if possible protection from the Queen of England against the Russians. The Circassian chiefs came over to this country in the capacity of delegates, presented the address, and received a formal reply from the Foreign-office, intimating that England could not interfere in the matter. The Circassian chiefs have accordingly visited the north, apparently with the view of en listing sympathy in their behalf. On Thursday they attended a meeting at Preston ; and within a day or two they will visit Manchester. The meet ing on Friday was called by large placards of a somewhat sensational character, which quoted the opinions of Mr. Urquhart and Lord Ponsonby as to the treatment of the Circassian people. The an nouncement that the chiefs would appear in their native costume attracted a large audience, the hall being well filled. About half-past seven Mr. S. E. Rolland, the two Circassian chiefs, Colonel Lapin ski, commander of the Polish legion in Circassia, and:a few working men, ascended the platform. The chiefs were attired in long, loose, blue coats with red facings, and on their heads they wore hats com- bining the characteristics of the bearskin and the artilleryman's hat. They carried long swords, and daggers were also stuck in their girdles. They are tall, good-looking men, and one of them especially would pass for an Englishman. A look of deep seri ousness adds to the somewhat striking character of their appearance. They remained covered during the proceedings. Mr. Thos. Norbury, a working man, was voted to the chair, and the proceedings were opened with the usual formalities of placard reading. Mr. S. E. HOLLAND said it was no light matter that he had to introduce to the meeting. He was using no rhetorical flourish or oratorical trick when he told them that there never was an event of greater importance than that which was now taking place. Whom had they before them ? The placard had furnished the answer—apparently simple in itself, but still full of serious meaning. Was not Poland a dead nation, and was nat Circassia a na tion, all but dying with the sword and dagger in its grasp ? Grievous as might be the distress from which our operatives were suffering, and black as might be our future, what was all that as compared with the feelings of his friend Col. Lapinski, who belonged to a nation without a foot of soil to call their own, whose very language was proscribed, whose sons were forbidden to read their own tongue, whose daily food was stripes, whose daily drink was tears. Such was a Pole, and such was one of the gentlemen now present. At his side were two men of whom he could not trust himself to speak ; no words of his could convey the simple and child-like yet heroic words in which they had, in his hearing, recited the story of their lives, and their anticipa tions as to the future. One of those Circassian chiefs for 45 years had been engaged in struggling sword in hand against the Russians, and he had seen the blood of his compatriots quenching the blazing rafters of the village where they lived. He had told those chiefs that at the present time the people of England themselves wanted help, but that notwithstanding that, they would help the Circas sian people. That day their words to him were : " We are men devoted to death, and all we hope is that the Muscovite plough may not be driven over our sepulchres." At a meeting at Preston, on Thursday evening at which he (Mr. Rolland) was present, the chiefs expressed themselves thus : " We are as near despair as brave men can be, we are in the fire night and day. We have heard of the Epglish nation, and we have been told it pro tects the distressed ; and our wives, our children, our old men and our little ones said, with tears in their eyes, You must go to that nation and get us help.' They said that we must go to the English nation and tell them that, if they would not help us, we must be destroyed by Russia. For 40 years, every hour of the day and night, our houses and our villages have been in flames, our sons' throats have been cut, and our old men have been killed. Unless the English nation help us we must die, for there is no one to whom we look for help but to the people of England." Mr. Rolland then proceeded to read the address recently presented to the Queen, and the reply of the Foreign-office thereto. Respecting the latter he said they needed no comment of his upon this most infamous, most vile, and atrocious answer, which was but the logical consequences of the betrayal on the part, not of the people of Eng land, but of its Government, of these gallant moun taineers. After further pressing the claims of the Circassian people, and giving much interesting in formation respecting the country itself and its in habitants, Mr. Rolland introduced Colonel Lapinski and the Circassian chief to the meeting. Each made a short speech, which was interpreted to the au dience. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EAS7E.RN RAILWAY. NARROW ESCAPE OF MORE THAN ONE HUN- DRED LIVES. The passengers by the 10,30 train from Shore ditch station to Hertford were on Friday night last thrown into the utmost state of alarm on finding the carriages come to a standstill a moment or two after they left the departure platform. On looking out they found the danger signals flaming as far as the eye could reach, but were unable to learn from the railway officials the cause of their detention. The train having backed again, endeavoured to move forward, but with no better success than be fore_ The process of retrogression was again re peated, and the train having been shunted from the down to the up rails, at length commenced, but with extreme caution, to creep forward, and so the pas sengers, more than 100 in number, were able to as certain the cause of their detention, for they saw between the goods station at Brick-lane and the Mile-end platform a large body of men repairing the down line, which had been br oken up by the cir cumstance of some heavily laden trucks having got off the metals and ploughed up the perma nent way to some extent. It was fortunate that 1 the accident in question was so timely sig nalled, else the Hertford train would have continued its course on the down line, when probably a catastrophe not less appalling in less of life and limb than that which last year occurred at Kentish-town might have been the result. 2IIE STEPHENSON 1110NU3IEN7 IN NEWCASTLE. The monument to George Stephenson, erected by public subscription in Neville-street, opposite the central station in Newcastle-on-Tyne, was inaugu rated on Thursday with every demonstration cf po pular respect. It consists of a statue of the great engineer by his townsman, Mr. Lough, one of the eminent sculptors of the day, together with emble matical figures, representing a blacksmith, a plate layer, a pitman, and an engine -driver. The whole is extremely effective, and the likeness is considered extremely good. The day was set apart as a holiday in all the principal factories and places of business in the town and district, and the proceedings com menced at noon by the workmen employed in Messrs. R. Stephenson and Co.'s factory, in Messrs. Hawks, Crawshay, and Sons, Messrs. Thomson and Co., Messrs. Hawthorn, Elswick Engine and Ordnance Works ; Messrs. J. Abbott and Co., Messrs. Crowley, Millington, and Co., and the members of the An cient Order of Foresters and Odd Fellows, with the members of other friendly societies, marching in an immense procession through the principal streets to the Town-hall, where they joined the executive committee, the members of the Institution of Civil Engineers, of Mechanical Engineers, and of Mining Engineers, the president and committees of educa tional societies in the town and district, the members of Parliament for the district, and foreign consuls, the mayors of all the towns in the neighbourhood, with the chairmen and m embers of other corporate bodies, the chairme n and directors of the North- Eastern and other railways, the member of the Coal Trade Association , and proceeded to the inaugura .tion. Lord itavcnsworth delivered the inaugural address. faTICE INTELLIGENCE.-- Oct. 4. MANSION-HOUSE. —.-Stephen Keef, a blind man, who was broughi bef?re the . Lod r Mayor the a few days back charged wiwit'..hay.ing caused death of Eliza Keef by kicking her ..11 the abdomen, was brought up on Saturday upon remai..4, to un dergo a final examination upon that charge. The evidence given upon the last examination, it will be remembered, was that of a sister of the deceased, who lived in a room in the house next door to the one in which the prisoner and his wife lived, and who deposed to having been awoke on the morning of Saturday, the 27th September, by loud screaming and a heavy fall, upon which she went to see if it were her sister, and found her ly ing on the floor in the passage, against the door of her own room, and that she complained to her of the ill-usage of the prisoner. On Saturday one of the prisoner's children, a little girl about 12 years of age, was examined, and 1 said she went out with her father on the evening of Friday, the 26th September, and went home at about one in the morning. The prisoner had been playing and drinking at several public-houses. When he went home he gave her mother a shilling and told her to go and get him some supper. She went with her mother, and they were gone about a quarter of an hour. IS hen she went back she be gan to take the things she had bought out of her apron, when the prisoner got his stick, and after shutting the door, hit her with the stick, and knocked her down. He then put the stick down, and she (witness) put it away in the cupboard. He then hit her mother with his fist, and then kicked her in the side of the stomach. The pri soner had opened the door again, and her mother fell into the passage. Mrs. M'Sweeney, her aunt, heard the screams, and went to her mother, and the prisoner hit her on the arm with a stick. The pri soner went into the room and locked the door, and her aunt lifted her mother up, and set her on the stairs, where she was sitting all night. Her aunt went to her two or three times during the night, and at six in the morning, while her father was asleep, she got out of bed and unfastened the door and let her mother in. Mrs. M'Sweeney as there at the time, and either she or her mother w told her to light the fire, which she did. The prisoner, who had been interrupting the witness during the whole time she was giving liOr evidence, telling her she was telling lies, and to be careful what she said, &c., was asked if he wished to ask her any questions, and he said he did. The Prisoner said that what she had said was all lies, and she had been " put up to it" all by her aunt; and he asked her a number of questions with a view to shaking her testimony, but she adhered to all she had previously said. Sarah Trusty, a person living in the house ad joining the one occupied by the prisoner and his family, said she was awoke at about two o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 27th September, by the screams of the prisoner's wife and children. She heard a heavy fall, and heard the prisoner threaten to rip her up, and use other threatening language. She heard Mrs. M'Sweeney's voice, and she heard the prisoner say he would kill them both. She heard no more. The disturbances there were so frequent that she took little notice of them. Caroline Lewis, the midwife to the East London Union, said she was called to attend the prisoner's wife on Sunday evening, 28th September, at about eight o'clock. She was expected to give birth to a child every minute, and at the time she went to her she appeared to be progressing very favourably ; but shortly afterwards some very bad symptoms set in, and she sent for Dr. Fowler, and at about half past•eleven the child was born, but it was dead. Dr. Fowler was then examined, but it is impos sible to give the minute details of his evidence; the purport of it was, however, that he was called to attend the deceasei woman, and he found her in a complete state of collapse, and presenting the most serious symptoms that could possibly appear. The face was pale and anxious. The whole surface of her body was cold. Her tongue and breath were cold, and her pulse was scarcely if at all perceptible, all of which indicated internal hemorrhage, the re sult probably of some internal injury. Upon his arrival he found the progress of the birth such that it should have taken place very shortly, and he used stimulants and the necessary medicines, but with little or no effect. The birth took place at half , past eleven, but it was not a natural birth, and the child was still-born. In consequence of rumours which reached him he refused to give a certificate of death, and a post mortem examination was made at which he was present, and he was of opinion that death was caused by laceration of one of the abdominal organs, which caused a quantity of blood to flow into the cavity of the stomach. In answer to questions by the Lord Mayor, Dr. Fowler said he could see no trace of external violence from a stick or a kick, the body was too far decomposed. He could not say how long the child had been dead. It was dead before the birth, and might have been dead two days. An injury might have been inflicted by a kick, which during the progress would have been aggravated, and caused the hemorrhage. The prisoner received the usual caution, and was asked if he wished to say anything to the charge of having feloniously killed and slayed Eliza Keef. He said he did, and made a rambling statement, the purport of which was to show that his wife was in perfectly good health and spirits all day on Saturday and Sunday, and he said all that his little girl had said she had been " put u p to" by her aunt. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgafe for trial. A morose-looking man, a foreigner, who refused to give his name or any account of himself, was brought up, charged with attempting to stab Ora tio Farmer, steward of the vessel Concordia, lying off Fresh-wharf, with a penkife. The prisoner was first spoken to in English, but he appeared not to understand, and Dr. Rechurst, who was in court, addressed him in French, Italian, and German, all of which he affected not to under stand. At Mr. Goodman's request he was told by the interpreter that his remaining silent would avail him nothing, and he then said his name was Volaro Francesco, and he was a native of Savoy. The captain of the vessel said the prisoner was put on board at Bologne, about five minutes before the vessel started, by the French police, and he said he had no money. The Lord Mayor asked why they sent him to London. The captain said he had been expelled from that country before, and he arrived at Boulogne on the previous day from London in one of the company's boats, and he then had no money to pay his pas sage. The French police took charge of him and put him on board the vessel. His lordship asked if he was directed by the consul to do so. The captain said he was not. He was directed by the French police. When they got to London the prisoner said he had no money to pay his pas sage, and the ticket collector wanted him to leave his overcoat. This he at first refused, but ultimately he consented to do so. He was then told to go out of the cabin, and he refused to do so. Hanbrook, the constable of the wharf, was called to remove him, but he resisted ; and as the steward was ren dering assistance the prisoner struck at him with the penknife. When he was searched £1 ls. lad. in English money was found upon him. Oratio Farmer, the steward, said he went to as sist the officer, when the prisoner struck at him three times with an open penknife. He did not inflict any wound, however. The evidence was interpreted to the prisoner, and when asked what he had to say, he said they wanted to take his money and an over coat from him. His lordship told him through the interpreter that the captain was quitejustified in calling an officer to remove him from the vessel, and that he was not justified in resisting, and by using a knif law. e he had committed an offence against the English He then sentenced the prisoner to seven days impri sonment. The prisoner asked what would be done with his money ? His lordship said that would be given to him, together with his coat. The prisoner sai d they took a coat from him on board the o th e r boat at Boulogne. His lordship explained to him that they were quite justified in that instance in taking the coat. The difference between that case and the present was, that he went to Boulogne of his own free will, and having no money they were justified in taking his coat as an equivalent for his passage money, and whereas in the present instance he was put on board by the police against his will. MARYLEBONE.—M URDEROUS OUTRAGE UPON AN UNCLE.—DANGEROUS CONDITTON OF THE SUF FEREII.—A young man named John Deeks was placed at the bar on a warrant, which had been placed in the hands of sergeant Potter, on 2 D, charged with the following murderous ass ault up his uncle, Mr. Thomas Deeks, horse-dealer, residing at 71, Paddingdon-green, and also holding a farm at Crieklewood. Mr. Wilding, from the office of Mr.. Herring, Stafford-street, Lesson-grove, appeared to prosecute, and, in opening the case, informed his worship that Mr. Deeks was in such a bad state that he would not be able to attend at least for some time, if at all. The facts of the case that he should have to lay before his worship would be merely enough to justify a remand. From his instructions it appeared that on last Friday wee Mr. Deeks, in company with a man named Dale, went in his horse and trap to his farm at Cricklewood. On their arrival Mr. Decks made a Complaint to hie nephew (the prisoner) about neglecting his horses and his duty t that he would on the farm in general, and told him not employ him any more, and that he must leave the premises at once. After this the prisoner took one of the legs from the milking-stool on which he had been sitting and struck his uncle a fearful blow on the face with it, and the effect of it • was to ren der hi isensible. He wouid call a aedical gen tlemanm before his worship who would spoak as to ' the serious nat ure of the in j uries. afters, ix on Fri iles Dale deposed that sho r t l y day wee h e went into a field at Cris klem ' n od with the prosecutor, and heard him say somCth; ing about no t wateriiig m horses, and neglecting tl ie, and thinking the): e would be a fight he went to inter fete, but had scl;reelY done so when prison er p ulled of on which he had beet sitting A r a leg from the ste' oed with this he appreached milking a cow. his uncle, and struck him across the nose an t 1 fore thout he Was head. The bl ow was dealt with such tre 'men im stagger back and id Mr. Deeks was dons force that it made 1 1 fall senseless, and he (witn ess) ked hiro if he dead. The blood flew out, smothered with it. Witness wet 7t after pr isoner,. who had run across the field, and at knew what he had done, to which he replied, " that, he (Mr. Deeks) was always at him, and hat it was one he owed him." He (witness) th e n went back, a nd found the uncle still insensible, and fe wring that he would bleed w death got some water. car After washing his wounds be lifted him into the t, and after getting his weut:ds dressed at a surge OU ' S conveyed him home. Mr. Mansfield—When you took him up was; he sensible ? Witness—No, sir. Before I took him to the doc tor's he seemed so exhausted that I had to stop and give him some refreshment a t a public house—a , . little weak brandy and water. He had seen him two or three times since in his bed, and he appeared very bad. Mr Walton, surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital, said, Mr. Deeks had been a patient of hi 'n week. His injuries were of a very sin oes nature. ce Friday se The bones of the nose were broken, the bone under ' neath one of the eyes was also b ro ke n, and the bone of the forehead cracked. He certClinly now considered him in a dangerous state. At first he thought he would get over it, but now he xolst say he had his doubts about it. On Thursday -very ex tensive hemorrhage set in , whic h completelv pros trated him. Since then there was an accumulation of matter about the wound, and should this' con thine to go on, it would affect the brain, and dea tb. might ensue. The pfisoner was remanded for a week, and Mr, Mansfield observed that if Mr. Deeks was not abit then to attend he would trouble the medical gen tleman to come, but would take Mr. Walton's word to that effect. A KINGLY CUSTOIWER.—A respectable -looking middle-aged man, who, on being asked his name, said it was " Thomas Howell, one repentant sin ner," was charged as follows William Edmonds, barman to Mr. Rhodes, land lord of the King's Head, Hampstead-road, About nine last evening the' prisoner and a cabman came in and called for a bottle of champagne. I went into the cellar—(pri'soner—For a king)— (laughter)—and brought up two—(prisoner—To repentance)—(laughter). I °petted one of the bottles n, and filled a glass for the prisoer—(prisoneFer a king)—and one for the cabmai't, after which I walked away and left the second buttle him by the side of them. Directly after this I asked (prisoner) to pay, when he replied, "Kings never pay," and took the second bottle and ran out—(prisoner—You sbould,not interfere with a king). He jumped into the cab with the bottle, and a female told me she saw him hand it out of the opposite window. I did not get it back, and gave the prisoner in ellarge. Prisoner—How dared you take a king from the cab. He never comes out as a beggar. Prisoner was remanded for his friends to see him. COUN2.RY 11141 K.L:OS. NORWICH—SATURDAY.
