AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The Cunard steam ship Asia, Captain Shannon, has arrived, with the New York mails of the 23d ult. and 157,226 dole. On the day of sailing the Asia spoke the Persia, off Sandy Hook. In the Senate, on the 21st, a petition was pre sented from free coloured citizens of the United State's, praying for colonization in Central America if ?ossible. The petitioners say they appreciate to the full extent the humane actions which are now inau gurated to give freedom to their race, but they believe that this freedom will affect them injuriously unless there shall be opened to the coloured people a region to which they may emigrate —a country which is suited to their organization, and in which they may seek and secure by their own industry that mental and physical development which will allow them an honourable position in the families of God's great world. Though coloured people, and debarred from the rights of citizenship, their hearts, they say, none the less cling to the land of their birth. They desire to go to Central America, there to be tempo rarily protected, so that they may not be wholly excluded from the United States, and that they may aid in bringing to their native country that great commerce of the Pacific which will still further in crease the wealth and power of the United States. In the House of Representatives, on the 22d, a motion to lay all the Confiscation Bills-15 or 16 in number—on the table, was lost, by 65 to 39. The first of the series—to forfeit the property and slaves of those engaging in the rebellion —was debated at considerable length, when its further consideration waspostponed. The second, offered by Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, leaving confiscation discretionary with the President, was rejected; but Mr. Brig. ham's substitute for it, declaring that " all property ' of rebels, wherever found, shall be lawful indem nity to the Government," was adopted by 62 to 48, The question then came up on the passage of the bill as amended by the adoption of the substitute, but the House adjourned without a vote. The President had communicated to Congress the following corrrespondence respecting the arrest of Mr. Cameron : ma. BREWSTER TO MR, SEWARD. e No 706, Walnut-street, Philadelphia, April 16, 1862. et Sir,—By the direction of General Simon Came ron, I send you a summons issued out of the Su preme Court of this State, at the suit of ' Pierce Butler v. Simon Cameron,' July 1, 1862, No. 17. The writ is returnable on the first Monday in May, and is for tresspass vi et atas, assault and battery, and false imprisonment. The cause of the action is no doubt founded upon the supposed misconduct of Gen. Cameron in causing the arrest of the plaintiff, Mr. Pierce Butler, and placing him in Fort Warren, or some other public fortification, without authority of law, while he (Gen. Cameron) was Secretary of "War. Asl am instructed, the act was not the act of Gin. Cameron, and was done by those who com manded it to be done for just reasons and for the public good. You will please communicate the fact of this suit to the President and such other official persons as should properly be advised of it, and have such action taken as shall relieve the defen dant, Simon Cameron, from the burden, cost, and responsibility of defending this suit. By the direc tions of Gen. Cameron, I have, as his private coun sel, ordered my appearance for him, while I also invite and request the intervention of the proper authorities in his behalf and for his protection.— I am, sir, yours truly, &c., " BENJAMIN H. BREWSTER. " To Hon. W. H. Seward, Secretary of State." " MR. SEWARD TO MR. BREWSTER. " Department of State, Washington, April 18, 1862. " Sir,—l have received your letter of yesterday, stating that, by direction of Simon Cameron, you transmit to me a summons issnep out of the Su preme Court of the State of Pennsylvania, at the suit of Pierce Butler against Mr. Cameron for tres pass vi et armis, assault and battery, and false im prisonment, in causing the arrest of the plaintiff without authority of law. This communication has been submitted to the President, and I am directed by him to say, in reply, that he avows the proceed ing of Mr. Cameron referred to as one taken by him, when Secretary of War, under the President's direc tions, and deemed necessary for the prompt suppres sion of the existing Insurrection. The President will at once communicate by correspondence to the Attorney-General of the United States, and also to Congress.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " W. H. SEWARD. " To Benjamin F. Brewster, Esq., Philadelphia." The Washington correspondence of the New York Times contains the following statement respectinc the slave trade negotiations between the British and Federal Governments : " It is stated, upon high authority, that the treaty for the suppression of the African slave trade, re cently negotiated between. Secretary Seward and Lord Lyons, and transmitted to the Senate, is based upon an express desire communicated by Mr, Se ward to Lord Lyons. That the President is ani mated by a sincere desire for the complete suppres sion of the trade the correspondence shows. Since the date of the convention between Great Britain and the United States, dated Aug. 9, 1842, to slaves have been carried into any of the territoriesof Great Britain, and, with the exception of the case of. the barque Wanderer, none have been brought into the United States. The traffic has been mainly carried on under the fraudulent cover of the American flag by residents in other countries. Lord Lyons' re 'ense was prompt and hearty on behalf of his own Government, expressing the strongest wish of her - Majesty to act in concert with the President of the United States for the attainment of the objects de sired. Her Majesty's Government believes that it is on the co-operation of the United States that the success of their own persevering labours in the cause must mainly depend. His lordship gives assurance that his Government will be prompt to agree to any stipulations giving increased efficacy to that co-operation, and expresses his readiness to enter at once upon negotiations. To the draught of the treaty submitted to him, Lord Lyons made objections to but one cleuse—that limiting the duration of the treaty—which objection, it is said, was soon removed by Mr. Seward, who assumed that if the treaty was faithfully executed, the trade would be brought to an end within the term of ten years proposed, and that, should the traffic survive that period, it was easy to see that some new and probably different means from that which the treaty proposes, will have become neces eery for the vindication of the cause of humanity in common. The treaty, as originally drawn by Mr. Feward, was signed by the latter and Lord Lyons on the 7th day of April, and has been favourably reported upon by the Committee of Foreign Rela tions in the Senate." On the 19th, the President, accompanied by Se cretaries Chase and Stanton, Captain Dahlgren and P . D. Field, of New York, went down the Potomac in the revenue steamer Miami to Acquia Creek. Evidence had been received at the Treasury De partment that the work of mutilating Treasury , notes had become quite a busin ess , an d not an un profitable one. For instance, th e mut i lator takes a 10:dollar note, and tears off a tenth p ar t on ono corner, and passes offal° note for 10 dollars, nobody questioning him that it is perf ectl y good. He takes another note of the same denomination, and tears off a tenth part on another corner, and so on until he has secured four corners. Then he takes another note and tears out a piece from the upper side right —from another note a piece from the upper side left, next to the corners; f ro m two more notes a piece is extracted from the lower side right of one, and a piece from the lower aide left of the other. F ro m the ninth note he removes a piece from the right of the middle, and from the tenth and last the left middle. Th en he h as t en note a pier© from parts of what appears to be , a single 10 d el. Treasury note, which he ingeniously pastes together, and passes off under the plea that the note was acci dentally torn in pieces, but is nevertheless just as good as if it was whole. Letters from Yorktown of the 17th report that early that morning all the infantry were ordered under arms, and formed in line of battle at the rear of their re‘sptetive encampments. No assembly-roll was beat, but the alarm was spree.d in `whispered' tones, and in a few momc:',ls long lines of thousands of bayonets were glistening in the early morning moonirzams. It was expected a sortie would be made by the enemy at daybreak upo i the guns planted during the night; but as the u orning ad vanced, with no visible preparation by the enemy for sueh an event, the troops were finally dismissed and retired to their quarters. The fire of the siege batteries had began to be more regular and heavy. The Federals had planted two very heavy siege guns and opened on the right wing of the Confederate lines. At night a sortie in force was made, with the object of spiking those guns, but it failed. The heavy work at the Confederate guns was being done by negroes. The continuous fire of the Federal guns had caused the besieged to relinquish an attempt to throw up a line of intrenchments in front of their centre for tification. Up to the 18th nothing of importance bad occurred. The Confederates' right flank from Yorktown to the Warwick River, and along the river to the James, had been greatly strengthened. New earthworks had been thrown up and guns mounted upon the parapets. The banks in front of the earthworks were lined with rifle-pits, Pi ince de Joinville Lad pronounced the Confederate posi tion to be much stronger than that of Sebastopol. A body of troops under General Smith marched on the night of the 16th. The result is stated as fol lows ; A number of regiments, under General Smith, proceeded last night to attack a battery and in trenched position on the enemy's left, under cover of some of our field guns. The troops marched to the Warwick River, which, from the representa tions of a scout, was fordable for infantry, with a good bed for the wheels of artillery. Our forces arrived at the river late at night, and commenced crossing at a point where the rebels have o:instructed a dam, under a tremendous fire from the heavy guns and musketry of the enemy. There were but two feet of water at the time in this portion of the river. After the infantry had crossed the rebels turned on the water from the dam, swelling the stream so that it was three feet higher than before, making the depth of water at the crossing five feet. Of course it was impossible for the artillery to follow—so they took positions in the woods to protect the storming party. The troops attacked the enemy's intrench ments, when some sharp fighting took place on both sides. The enemy had an imposing force to meet our men, with guns of large calibre, well protected in embrasures. Our force with drew and recrossed the river. Here it was that we lost the most of our men. The great depth of water compelled the soldiers to hold their muskets up at arms'. length, to prevent them from getting wet. The large body of troops crossing the river in this way afforded the rebels a splendid op portunity to pick them off, and volley after volley was poured in upon them. The cannonading from our side was terrible, and caused great slaughter among the rebels. Our forces kept their positions on this side of the river all night, driving the enemy from their entrenchments. Late this morning our firing ceased, and the regiments engaged in the ac tion returned to their camps. Our loss in killed and wounded was about 100, that of the enemy more than 300, their forces having been exposed for a short time to the range of our batteries." The weather was fine, and the water over the swamps was fast drying up. The Federal riflemen were doing considerable execution on the gunners. From General Banks's command the following despatches had been received : " To TIIE HON. E. M, STANTON, SECRETARY AT WAR. " NEWMARKET, April 19. " I have been to the bridges on the south fork of the Shenandoah, in the Massanutten Valley, with a force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to pro tect the two important bridges that cross the rivers. We were within sight of Duray at the south bridge. A sharp skirmish occurred with the rebels, in which they lost several men taken prisoners. Their object was the destruction of the bridges. " One of the prisoners left the camp on the bank of the Rappahannock on Tuesday morning. There were no fortifications up to that time. " Other reports indicate a stronger force at Gor donsville, and a contest there—the whole resulting in a belief that they are concentrating at York town. I believe Jackson left this valley yesterday. He is reported to have left Harrisburg yesterday for Gordonsville, by the mountain road. He en camped last night at M‘Gangeytown, 11 miles from Harrisburg. " N. P. BANKS, Major-General Commanding." A LATER DESPATCH. ,‘ To TIIE HON. E. M. STANTON, SECRETARY AT WAR, NEWMARKET, April 20, 9 8113. " The flight of Jackson from the valley, by the way of the mountains, from Harrisburgh towards Leannardsville and Orange Court-house, on Gor donsville, is confirmed this morning by our scouts and prisoners. " N. P. BANKS, Major-General Commanding. " To THE HON. E. M. STANTON, SECRETARY AT WAR. " Newmarket, April 22. " Our advance is near Harrisonburg. We have troops across the mountains, protecting the bridges on the Shenandoah at Almy and on the Luray road. To day we pushed a force forward to Luray. The people were greatly alarmed at first, on account of the reports circulated by the rebels as to the treat ment they would receive from us, but in the course of a few hours they became quite reconciled to the presence of the troops. There is a good road to Warrenton, 25 miles, and a turnpike to Culpepper Court-house, the same distance. In several recent sharp skirmishes with the enemy we lost three men. Jackson has abandoned the valley of Virginia per manently, and is en route for Gordonsville, by the way of the mountains. Every day brings its pri soners and numerous deserters from the rebels. " N. P. BANKS, Major •Generel." General M'Dowell had occupied Fredericksburgb. The Federal troops left the vicinity of Warrenton Junction on the 17th, and, making a forced march across the country, encountered the enemy's out posts, which were driven in by the cavalry, who captured one of the Confederate camps. On the 18th, early, the march was resumed, Col. Bayard with the Ist Pennsylvania Cavalry being in the ad l'auca. He was attacked by a regiment of Confe derate infantry, a regiment of cavalry, and a bat tery of artillery, but the troops succeeded in driving the enemy 'before them across the Rappahannock at Fredeticksburgh. The bridge had been pre pared for burning, and was set on fire by the retreating enemy, and consumed. Falmouth oppo sitegh, was occupied by the Federal troops r a e d t e7r o'clock s l on the 18th. The Confederates in addition to the bridge, burnt the steamer St. Nicholas. From General Ft emont's command the following had been received : "To THE HON. E. M. STANTON, SECRETARY AT WAR. " Head -quarters, Wheeling, Virginia, Sunday, April 20. " Intelligence just received fr)m General Milroy states that the enemy, numbering about 3500, with two batteries, including two rifled guns, are con structing fortifications upon the crest of the Shen andoah. Reliefs of 500 men are constantly at work, day and night. The rebel encampment is on the eastern slope of the mountain, extending down five miles from the summit. A notorious guerilla, named Frederick W. Chenning, has been captured by a cavalry company under General Milroy. "J. C. FREMONT, Major-General." The advices from Fort Wright (Fort Pillow) are to the 18th, at which date the bombardment was proceeding slowly. It was believed that the Con• federates had partially abandoned Randolph and concentrated at Fort Wright. The Confederates had cut the river at the Arkansas shore, opposite the fort, and had inundated the district. Advices from Fort Monroe of the 21st report that a Confederate paper, the Petersburg Journal of that date, contained a report of the repulse of Et Federal force under General Burnside at Elizabeth City. It is stated the Federal troops, 5,000 strong, attempted to land there, but were repulsed, with a toss of 500 killed, by a Confederate force of 1,000, lincluding a Georgia Regiment. Letters from Newborn to the 17th and Hatteras TIM SUN LONDON, TITESDA.Y EVENING, MAY 6, 1862. to the 18th ult. report that on the 12th a force of 150 Confederates made a sortie from Fort Macon, driving in the Federal pickets, but were afterwards driven back. The Federal gunboats were shelling the place. It was reported that the garrison were short of provisions, their communications having been cut off. Advices from Fort Pickens to the 6th ult. report that nothing of importance had occurred there. It is asserted, however, that the Confederates were removing their guns from Pensacola, that all able bodied citizens had been forced into the ranks, and that martial law prevailed. The accounts from Corinth are very meagre. On the 16th several skirmishes took place. The Con federates were reported to be fortifying Lick Creek, halfway to Corinth, and strengthening their works at Corinth. They had received large reinforcements. It was reported at Cairo that General Grant had been placed under arrest at Pittsburgh, An Alabama paper states that the following despatch from General Beauregard to General Cooper, calling for reinforcements, was found in a telegraph-office:— " To GENERAL SAMUEL COOPER, RICHMOND, Yin- GINIA. " Corinth, April 9, 1862. " All present probabilities arc that whenever the enemy moves on this position he will do so with an overwhelming force of not less than 85,000 men. We can now muster only about 35,000 effectives. Van Dorn may postively join us in a few days with about 15,000 more. Can we not be reinforced from Pemberton's army ? If defeated here we lose the Mississippi Valley, and probably our cause, whereas we can even afford to lose, for a while, Charleston and Savannah for the purpose of defeating Buell's army, which would not only insure us the Valley of tho Mississippi, but our independence. " G. T. BEKUREGARD." General Johnston, who was killed at Pittsburg, issued the following address before the battle . " Head-quarters, Army of Mississippi, Corinth, Mississippi, April 3. " Soldiers of the Army of the Mississippi,—l have put you in motion to offer battle to the in vaders of your country, with the resolution and discipline and valour becoming men, fighting, as you are, for all worth living or dying for. You can but march to a decisive victory over agrarian mercenaries, sent to subjugate and dispoil you of your liberties, property, and honour. " Remember the precious stake involved, re member the dependence of your mothers, your wives, your sisters, and your children, on the result. Remember the fair, broad, abounding lands, the happy homes that will be desolated by your de feat, The eyes and hopes of 8,000,000 people rest upon you. You are expected to show yourselves worthy of of your valour and courage, worthy of the women of the South, whose noble devotion in this war has never been exceeded in any time. With such incentives to brave deeds, and with the trust that good is with us, your general will lead you confidently to the combat, assured of success. " A. S. JOHNSTON, General Commanding." colour with which they have been painted. No worse tint could have been chosen for setting off this - fine work to advantage. One has only to look at the Fal kirk gates and those of Colebrook dale to feel the advantage which a little artistic treatment in the way of colour confers on works of this kind, and the same may be said of the machinery in the Western Annexe,all of which, though at work,is always gaily, and sometimes even handsomely decorated. Some of the French and Swedish castings are very good, and the bronzes of the former especially. Yet, on the whole, there is scarcely any specimen of steel or iron work shown by foreign countries (always except ing Krupp's tremendous cast-steel ingot) of which it is not easy to find a dozen finer examples among the English exhibitors. In the cheaper forms of ornamental castings, such as for garden ornaments, our superiority is unquestioned. In the middle class of art the foreigners have generally the best in their designs, but in the highest class of all Elking ton has no superior among the French or any other country. Certainly, as far as the Exhibition has yet developed itself, the English manufacturers have no reason to fear any comparison. FATAL ACCIDENT ON 213 E NORTH BRITISH RAH WAY, NEAR ST. BOSW ELL' S. (from the Scotsman.) We regret to state that a fatal accident occurred on the North British Railway on Saturday after noon, near St. Boswell's. It appears that as the train leaving Edinburgh at 3.45 p.m. for Kelso was proceeding between Newton and Maxton, the car riages, eight in number, including the guard's break van, left the rails, and the last six broke their coup lings from the others, and were precipitated down the railway bank, about 14 feet in depth. The de struction of the carriages was serious, and one gen tleman, Mr. Easton, skinner, of Musselburgh, was killed on the instant ; his body was found under the carriages. Many of the passengers received serious injuries, amongst others a son of Mr. Easton, Mr. David Sherriff, of near Drem, and Mr. Hunter, teacher, Kelso. The injuries these parties have sus tained appears to be concussion of the brain. In ternal injuries were sustained by the Rev. Mr. Mackie and Mr. Storie, of Galashiels ; Mr. Grierson' commercial traveller, Hawick ; Mrs. Barton, of Hawick ; Mr. Nisbet, flesher, Hawick ; Mr. Mills, of Greenhead, East Lothian ; and 12 or 14 others. The reports late on Saturday night as to the first four named parties seriously injured were very unfavou rable, but during Sunday the reports were more favourable. Mr. Sherriff and Mr. Hunter were re moved to Melrose soon after the accident, and were attended to by Dr. Brown. Mr. Easton, jun., was taken to Newton. The body of Mr. Easton, senior, lies at Maxton Station. The chairman of the rail way, Mr, Hodgson, and Mr. Walter Wilson, also a director,: with the manager and other officials of the company, were early on the spot ; also the Fis cal, Mr. Stevenson, of Jedburgh. The sufferers received at the earliest moment the best medical assistance the district could afford, and on Sunday (yesterday) Professor Miller went out at the instance of some of the sufferers' friends. A large staff employed during Saturday night and Sunday morning in removing the debris;of the car riages, and restoring the line of rails, which had been considerably damaged. No doubt a strict investi gation into the cause of the accident, which we can • not at present explain, will be made by all parties. We understand that up to last night Mr. Easton, jun., and Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Sherriff, were pro gressing favourably. A correspondent who was on the spot gives the following account of the accident : The Edinburgh and Kelso passengers train due at Newtown Junction at 5.46 p.m. arrived at this place and left all right. It consisted of the engine and tender, with a truck behind, next a second-class carriage, then two first-class carriages, a second class, and another first, the van of the guard being last. It may be noticed that this was a rather larger train than usual in consequence of a special meeting of the :North British Railway - Company held that day in Edinburgh. The number of passengers in first and second carriages was about 26 or 30. On approaching the small station of Maxton, on the Kelso branch, three miles from Newtown, the pas sengers perceived an unusual and alarming oscilla tion of the carriages, which increased to a kind of jolting motion ; and as the train appreached a sharp curve close to the farm of Lairetburn, a sudden jerk was felt, and in a moment the whole five passenger carriages were wrenched off the rails and tumbled over the embankment, which was about 15 feet high. The engine and truck went forward, and, singularly enough, the guard's van also remained on the line. The passenger carriages, as appeared on an inspec tion of the dreadful scene of broken materials and other debris, had fallen partly on the top of each other. Undermost was a second-class carriage lite rally jammed to pieces, the axle of which was lying below it broken, and the wheels above it; while on the top of it rested a first-class carriage, which was also greatly damaged and broken. The scene of the catastrophe was considerably distant from any place where medical an could be obtained ; and at first the passengers, stunned, bleeding, and wounded, who were able to crawl out of the wreck of carriages, began to assist in helping their more seriously injured travellers from the ruins. It was found that one passenger, Mr. Easton, skinner, Alusselburgh, in the foremost second-class carriage, was killed instantaneously by fracture of the skull, a wheel hal ing been found resting on his chest, and and his body otherwise greatly injured. In this carriage also was his son, Mr. James Easton, who was taken out of the shattered remains of the car riage insensible, and badly cut over the forehead., The other passengers found to be terribly cut about the face and bruised in the body were Mr. Hunter, Rector of the Grammar School, -Kelso, severely cut above the right ear, on the right cheek, and upper lip severed. This gentleman was brought to Mel rose station by the Kelso-Edinburgh train, due at Maxton at the very time the accident occurred, and from whom the first assistance was obtained. Along with this gentleman there was taken to Melrose Mr. Sherriff, Muirtown, Drem, East-Lothian, who had been severely both outwardly and internally. Both of these gentlemen were placed on litters and mattresses in the waiting rooms at Melrose when they were at once attended to by Dr. James, assis tant to Dr. Brown, Melrose. These gentlemen had sustained a concussion of the brain, besides deep cuts all over the face and body, RITA severe internal uL ices. aar. blierrin's face was greatly abraded, and he suffered on Sunday night greatly from inter nal pain. Hopes are now entertained that both may ultimately recover. Their relations have been telegraphed for and are now in attendance upon them, and the medical gentlemen of the town have been most assiduous in the attentions. Professor Miller, of Edinburgh, was telegraphed for on Sun day morning, and after visiting the injured, reports favourably. The only other very serious case is that of Mr. Easton's son, who, as we write, is still in a very precarious state, but quite sensible. He is lying at Newtown Hotel, and being attended to by Drs. Chas. and Wm. Cowan. The other parties in jured are,so far as we can ascertain (Sunday 5 p.m.) the following :—Mr. Crosier, Hawick, brought to Melrose, and afterwards conveyed home by last train,injured in the spine. This person was:showieg more unfavourable symptoms yesterday. Alexander Storie, Galashiels, brought home, cut on the face, and left eye nearly out; also injured about the legs. He is an old man, and likely to be much the worse of his injuries, if he survives. The Rev. Mr. Mackay, assistant preacher at Caddonfoot, cut over bridge of nose and right cheek, also bruised. Mr. Mackay was conveyed to Galashiels Manse from Melrose in a carriage, and is doing well. Mr. Grimm), traveller for Messrs. Laing and Irvine, Hawick, was greatly hurt about the face, and also internally, was Conveyed to Hawick, Mr. Nisbet, flesher, Jedburgh, was cut severely on the forehead, and also went back to Hawick. These are the names of the principal sufferers, but a great many more were hurt, contused, or cut by the splinters of the carriages, who however were able to proceed on to their destinationu by the other trains, or by convey ances. The attendance of medical gentlemen was most prompt, and they distributed themselves in various directions, as at Maxton, Newtown, Melrose, Kelso, Rawick, and Galashiels. Those who rein dered special help and attendance were Drs. Samos, Brown, Charles and William Cowan, and Clarkson, Melrose; Anderson, Selkirk; and Brisbane, Gala shiels. The cause of the accident is as yet a mystery, but it evidently arose from the breaking of the coupling chains. The report that the axle of one of the car riages had broken cannot be substantiated, as it was quite impossible to ascertain the real cause after the carriages had been broken up. The telegraph wires were destroyed at the place of accident, and conse quently the messages had to be worked from the neighbouring station at Galashiels. A special train arrived at 11 p.m. on the spot of the disaster, con taining Mr. Hodgson, chairman of director, Mr. Rowbotham, Mr. Bell, Mr. Maclaren, Mr. Lingard, Mr. Hurst, and other officials, and a strong force of surfacemen and others being on the spot, the work of clearing the line was completed, by great exertions by Sunday morning, so that the regular passenger train to Edinburgh passed along all right. At the time wo write, the two injured men at Melrose Sta tion are still considered to be going on favourably although they cannot be said to be out of danger. Every attention has been paid to them by the medi cal men and also by the people of Melrose. Another correspondent sends us an account of the accident, from - which we extract the following additional particulars :—An old woman named Bar ton was found to have received serious injuries, and Mr. John Hilson, Jedburgh; Mr. Deans, seedsman ; Jedburgh; Baffle Young, Jedburgh; and Mr. Shortreed Fair, Gilliestongues, nth Jedburgb, re ceived bruises and contusions of a less serious cha racter. Mr. Hilson was injured about the head, and Bailie Young had his arm dislocated, but all the last named gentlemen were able to proceed home without assistance. The Rev. Mr. Blair, Galashiels, war so much hurt that he was placed under medical superintendence at Kelso. Several other persons sustained trifling injuries, and the exact number who suffered has not yet been ascer tained, but it cannot be much under twenty. Mr. Easton, who met his death in the catastrophe, was with his son proceeding to Old Ormiston Station on a visit to a relative. Mr. Sherriff and Mr. Hunter were taken by the train to Melrose, where they were immediately attended to by Drs. Brown and Cowan. The former was still insensible when he arrived at Melrose. Mr. Hunter, though speech less, was sensible, and made signals for writing materials, which being supplied him, he managed to transcribe his name and address. By the same train Mr. Grierson, Mrs. Barton, and a man named Nisbet, were taken to Hawick, and Dr. M'Leod was in prompt attendance on them. Mr. Grierson has sustained a severe bruise en the shoulder and some severe cuts on the head and face, but is doing well: Mrs. Barton is more seriously injured, but her case is not yet considered dangerous. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. In the New York money-market on the 22d there was scarcely any demand at any rate of interest, very little doing in the way of permanent investment, and few people in need of accommodation. The rates were therefore little more than nominal. Gold was quoted at 11 to 1 prem., and the rates of discount on Bank notes from to 65; United States 6 per cent. Treasury notes par to dis. The stock of cotton being gradually reduced prices had slightly advanced, middling uplands being quoted 29x; New Orleans and Texas, 301. The flour market, influenced by the advices per steamship City of New York, ruled firmer, and prices advanced 5c to 10c per barrel, closing buoyant and firm, at an advance compared with the previ ous Friday of 10c to 15c per brl, Canada flour was also ac tive and decidedly firmer. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Yesterday was the first of the five-shilling days, and the attendance of paying visitors was decidedly less than was expected. At most times the building was full, and in the afternoon especially; but out of all the crowd those who paid at the doors formed an exceedingly small percentage of the season ticket holders. In fact, there is no line of demarcation between the class that are willing to pay ss. a visit and those who can afford season tickets, and 'we think that those who paid yesterday were quite exceptional cases to the general rule—persons who for some reasons, such as leaving town and having only time for two or three visits, naturally preferred paying their ss. a-day to buying a three-guinea season ticket, which they may be unable after this week to use. But even those who have not these reasons can hardly be blamed for declining to pay ss. to see the Ex hibition in its present very unfinished state. No matter how select the audience may be, people don't care to pay to see the, as yet, very in complete display—to assemble in a building a very large part of which is still only filled with empty cases or crowded with exhibitors' assistants unpack. ing and arranging goods. In point of attraction these ought to be the shilling days, and the five shilling days should commence at the end of this month, when there will be a complete Exhibition, which now there most certainly is not. The indif ference now shown to completing the objects for exhibition appears all the more striking by contrast with the wonderful efforts made before the open ing. Then we spoke of what was done as one of the most gigantic illustrations of rapid work, but since -the Ist of May, in every place except the French Court, the utmost apathy seems to have taken possession of the exhibitors. some have either been granted or have taken the privilege of putting a bar across the entrance to their courts, and thus they have remained since Thursday, making scarcely any progress. Exhibitors complain that there is such difficulty in getting passes for their assistants that they can accomplish little or nothing. Whether this complaint is just or not, we mention it as the excuse which is given for ac knowledged shortcomings. But whoever is in fault, the fact remains the same, that both ground floor and galleries are almost as backward in their arrangements now as they were on the day of the opening, and as they seem likely to be a month hence, unless stringent measures are adopted to en fore immediate completion. If the fault is with the exhibitors, they will certainly be the sufferers, for they are losing the opportunity of effecting sales which are now being made in the various collec tions ready for inspection. Considering what a short time tho building has beeu vpcucO, large proportion of the things exhibited has been already sold, though of course they cannot be re moved until the Exhibition is over. Jewelry is going fast. Half the abjects in the beautiful collections of Berlin and Dresden china have found Purchasers. For almost every article shown by 'Minton and Copeland there are rival competitors, and yesterday the whole collection of Worcester enamels was taken by Phillips, of Bond-street. In the same way the finest specimens of engraved glass shown by Pellatt, Dobson and Pearce, and Cope land have all their claimants. The display made by the latter house has just been increased by the ex hibitionjewelled dessert service of the crystal. It is a s p ec i men o f th e hi g h es t brightestorder ofofa glass table glass. The trophies of ironwork in the nave, transepts, and hardware courts are now deservedly attracting admiration. Pre-eminent among them for design and finish is the screen for Hereford Cathedral, manu factured at Coventry by the Shadmore Art Co m p any , It is a most elaborate specimen of wrought-i ron , brass, and copper work. Unfortunately, the work of completingthis screen makes but slow progress, and like many other fine things yet to be finished, the shilling visitors only will see them at their best. The Colebrook-dale gates are fine specimens of cast ing, though not clearer or better than the gates ex hibited in the side courts by the Falkirk Ironworks. Close by these, in a little court in front, are a num ber of small groups of stags, dogs, &c., each of which was cast in iron at a single casting. When we remember that fluidity is, after all, only a pos sible condition of iron, it seemsmarvellous how such small and intricate castings could ever have been accomplished, and with as much clearness as if they been chased. Barnard and Bishop's wrought-iron gates are suffering from the dust as much as they have suffered throughout from the dull inartistic FRENCH CORRESPONDENTS AT THE OPENING OF 211 E EXHIBITION. The Paris journals of Saturday contain accounts of the opening of the Exhibition on Thursday last from the pen of their " own" correspondents. In the Debats the description is written by M. J. Lemoinne. The singular uniforms which were worn by different members of the procession seem to have mueh amused him; it is even irreverently hinted that the high authorities looked very much as though they had " left ,the collection at the Tower of London." M. Lemoinne strongly condemns the exterior of the building, and compares the domes to wire-gauze dish-covers. " Happily," he says, "the warbling is better than the plumage," and as an Industrial Exhibition, this one is far superior to that of 1851. "As to the English," he adds, " any one who had not seen them since the first Ex hibition would scarcely know them again ; one would think they had been changed at nurse— they have all beards and mustachios ! Where are old caricatures in which the traditional French man of Leicester-square used to figure with his uncultivated whiskers ? Now it is the English who have the aspect of gorillas. The English wemen, alone, have not changed. There they were, with flaming toilets at noon, always dazzling in freshness, and extravagant in colours — dressed lilies and roses at the Bell Jardiniere." The correspondent of the Presse characterises the building as heavy, massive, and without grace. " Ladies," he says, " were present in great numbers and beauty. Imagine two or three thousand Eng lish women in summer dresses, and a similar num ber of Englishmen, who are the best combed people in the creation, and you will have an idea of the spectacle. For the rest, a half-silence, very different from that confused buzz which is heard in all public assemblies at Paris; few words, few gestures, a grave demeanour, but without stiffness or awkwardness. Really I have never seen any thing more beautiful." The same correspondent is fully persuaded that the French industry will take the first rank, although the American war and the treaty of commerce have prevented French manu facturers from devoting much time to the under taking. The latter class, moreover, dislike a visit to London. "It is very costly, and still more ennuyeux." This, he thinks, is the last International Exhibition which will be held in London. "At heart the exhibitors of all nations, the English excepted, prefer Paris. They are better treated there; they are not overcharged; great pains are taken to attract them. At Lo,ndon this is all re versed. The English nation has great qualities; it is intelligent, brave, persevering, intrepid, but it is not hospitable." The ASiecle is more liberal in its praise and admi ration than any of its contemporaries. The writer, however, has slightly misunderstood a portion of the ceremony. He says," After Meyerbeer's Over ture, specially composed for the occasion—after the Grand March of Auber, which was hailed with frantic applause; after a cantata, which was equally well received ; after a sort of alleluia intoned by the Bishop of London—the Duke of Cambridge," &c. The performance of the " Hallelujah Chorus," and the reading of the prayer by the bishop, ap pear to have mystified our friend of the Siecle. The 2emps devotes nearly a page to a description of the scene. The unfurnished state of the different departments is a prominent theme of the writer, and some 'rumours are given of internal dissen sions of which we have heard nothing. The most imposing part of the ceremony was, it is stated, the music. The correspondent, however, notices an omission. "What bas been done with the diplomatic corns? Tf T _ .. , nll very satisfied with the neglect which, to say the least, is very extraordinary in an international assembly." GROSS CRUELTY TO A CHILD. On Friday evening an inquest was held at the Commercial Inn, Barnsley, on the body of a boy, named John Wm. Lincoln, aged four years. In con sequence of its having been stated that the child had been inhumanly treated by its stepmother, great excitement prevailed in the locality. It appeared the father of the boy had been married twice, his first wife having died rather less than four m3nths ago, and six weeks after he married his present wife. Mr. Blackburn, surgeon, said on Wednesday morning last he was called in to see deceased, who was then in a comatose state. He found his skull was fractured, both thighs were broken, the left having evidently been done some time; there were also bruises on the forehead, arms, back, and one ear. Death had arisen from the fracture of the skull and the effusion of blood on the brain. Several neighbours said the child and two others were badly treated, and that on Wednesday morn ing the stepmother ran out of the house, and took the child in her arms, crying out that its elder brother had let it fall down stairs. It died a few hours after. _ _ Ann Mattliewman, who resided next door to the Lincolns, said that on Saturday last she was at Mrs. Lincoln's, who complained of the dirty habits of the child. She laid it across her knee and gave it a violent stroke on the small of the back, and then threw it on the stone floor, the back part of the head going down with great force. The child never screamed, but lay with its eyes open where it fell. Mr. Blackburn said that it frequently happened that after the fracture of the skull the perso n so in jured lived for days and even weeks. The jury, after half an hour's consultation, unani mously agreed to a verdict of manslaughter against Mary Anne Lincoln; and the coroner made out a warrant for her committal to York, to take her trial at the next assizes. The accused is about 22 years of age.—Manchester Examiner. SPORTING MI ELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—MoNDNy. The first of eight races was run under a brilliant sun shine on the further side of the ditch, where a large con course of visitors were assembled at a quarter before ono o'clock. The success of Lord Glasgow on the occasion was also a success to the betting men, for only two of the run ners Were backed. Immediately after the race his lord ship's Stockwell colt received a fillip for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, but did not shake the favourites in the market. The next event had a somewhat similar effect upon Nottingham, one of whose trial horses, Rising Sun, won a match in a canter, although it defeated a very mo derate animal. A good day's sport was finished by a dead heat being run off before five o'clock. Between the different events the great race of the morrow occupied men's atten tion, and the betting upon it when we quitted the course was as quoted below. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas, for mares; 3-yr-olds, 7st 41b; 4-yr-olds, 9st 71b; 5 yr-olds, lOst 41b; 6 yr olds and aged, lOst 71b. Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah filly, 3 yrs, 7st 41b (3.

Night Revel made the runniug at a bad pace, followed by Roesia, the Anxiety filly, and Doglia, the others, headed by Paste, lying off until they neared the entrance into the Beacon Course, where Paste drew up, in company with Arcadia, and the Miss Sarah filly, end came on with a clear lead, which she held to the foot of the hill, where Lord Glasgow's filly obtained the second place, and waited upon Paste to half-way up, then quitted her without an effort, and won cleverly by a length. Arcadia, who stopped as if shot, was beaten four lengths for second, the Anxiety filly was fourth, and the others passed the post as placed by the judge. Match; D.I. 200, h ft. Sir J.

Immediately the flag was lowered Asteroid jumped away with a clear lead on the upper ground, followed by Cape Flyaway in the centre, and the Miss Whip colt. In this way they ran into the dip, when Aldcroft made his effort to reach the favourite, but failed, and was beaten cleverly by half a length; a bad third. Match: T.M.M.. 200, h. ft. Mr. R.

Shortly before starting Cowley became exceedingly res tiff, and after several attempts he threw Wells, who adroitly slipped on to his feet, and, retaining possession of the brible, was aeon remounted. The lot left the post in compact order, but immediately after Furious rushed to the front and made the running, followed on the upper ground by _Cowley, Confectioner. Cock Robin, and Dr. Pusey, the latter 'tinning extremely green, with the others lying up. On reaching the Bushes Hill, Cowley held a clear lead of several lengths, Confectioner going on second, with Furious, the Physalis colt, and Blackcock lying wide on the lower side next. In this way they ran into the bottom, where Lord Glasgow's colt and Furious passed Confec tioner, and went on in attendance upon Cowley, the three finishing a good race home, Cowley winning after some rousing by the neck; a length and a half between the second and third.

The following absurd and egotistical paragraph appears in several of this morning's papers. The writer evidently imagines that no gentleman in London knows anything about City betting but himself " BETTING IN LONDON. " Our usual reporter wishes it to be understood that he is in no way responsible for the quotations of " City Bet ting," which have been published in some of the papers without his sanction. Their inaccuracy is so absurd that this announcement is scarcely necessary." THE LATE MysT3IRIOUS DEATH 01 SOLICITOR. Yesterday morning Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner for the county of Middlesex, re sumed the adjourned inquest at the Town of Rams gate Tavern, High-street, Wapping, respecting the death of Mr. Edward Warren, aged '65 years, a solicitor, who was found dead in the River Thames under very mysterious circumstances. rue roiiowing aodittutio.: ovideuce was adduced James Hammond, the proprietor of the Oxford. Arms Inn, Warwick-lane, City, said that the de ceased occasionally lodged at his house, and the last time he engaged a room was on the Bth of April. He had known him about five years. He left wit ness's house on the 14th. He never knew what his profession was, and he only took two meals with the family. .de told witness that be had 200 acres of wheat under water through the late floods. The deceased expected his wife in London on the 13th. That day he sat at the coffee Teem window. She did not come, and he seemed much annoyed. On the next morning he left to get some snuff, and never returned; and witness never saw him again. A letter came afterwards directed to deceased, which was kept for three days ; and as he did not return, witness sent the letter by post to his (de ceased's) address at Sandwich. The deceased wan very strange in his manner, and would talk very much at times. A letter, of which the following is a verbatim copy, was produced : " Police-office, Sandwich, May 5. " Sir,--I enclose the original letter sent by Mr. Warren to M r . W es t. I h av e known Mr. Warren many years. H e was an itinerant sham lawyer, and I believe he was in London for the purpose of searching the registry at Doctors'-commons for the will of a gentleman named Morrice. Ire was very much addicted to drinking, and was hardly ever sober. Mr. Warren w ill attend the i nquest on Mon day. Warren was a member of one of the City com panies and, I think , either the Merchant Tailors' or the Goldsmiths' Company. He was a large watchmaker some years ago in the city of London, and occasionally did receive contributions from ono of the said companies by way of relief.— Yours obediently, "JOAN D. WARMAN, High Constable. gg To Inspector Cox, Thames Police." After some further evidence, The jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased was found dead in the river Thames, and died from drowning, caused by his own act, while in a state of temporary insanity, brought on by pecuniary difficultie." —., LAW INTELLIGENCE.--May 5. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cock burn and Justices Crompton,Blackburn, and Mellor.) THE QUEEN V. TRAIN AND OTHERS. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., said he was in structed to mention the case of the Queen v. Train and another,whieh was an indictment for a nuisance in laying down a tramway from Westminster-bridp to Kennington. Mr, Troia and his managing mart were found guilty, and with regard to the other defendants, certain vestryn.len of Lambeth, the ver dict was suspended, with a view of enabling them to make application to this court on certain points of law with reference to the liability. The Court had granted a rule in their favour, which had placed the prosecutor in a difficulty in bringing Mr. Train and. his managing man up for judgment:. His applica tion was that as the jury found this was a dangerous nuisance, and as every day accidents occurred, the. court would allow him to bring up Mr. Train for judgment and hear the rule obtaiued by the other defenants at the same time. Mr. Justice Crompton said he thought it would be both a troublesome and difficult thing to give two iudgments. Why had not the parties adopted the suggestion thrown out when the rule way' ob tained to enter a nolle prosequi, with the Attorney General's permission ? Mr. Chambers said he must meet it in this way, Mr. Train might not be in a position to pay the., costs be would have to pay. His instructions went to this, that the delinquent vestrymen ' if they would pardon him for using that term, had received £l,OOO to indemnify them against the costs they might have to pay. If however they could be induced to pay that amount over to the prosecutor it might alter the matter. The matter of the indict ment did not arise out of any dispute between the vestrymen, but it was preferred by a gentleman of position in consequence of the nuisance being so serious as to occasion nearly daily accidents. He asked to be allowed to give notice to the vestrymen to come up and support their rule At the same time that Mr. Train came up for judgment. The vestry men who made the contract with Mr. Train stipu lated that Mr. Train should remove the tramway on receiving three months' notice to do so. The majo rity will not give that notice, and if the prosecution were to enter a nolle prosequi there would be no means of getting rid of the nuisance. Mr. Justice Blackburn said Mr. Train was bou Ad to remove it without regard to that notice. Mr. Justice Crompton said it appeared to him it was a question of vestry triumph with regard to costs. Mr. Chambers said Mr. Train was an American, and might return to that country any day, in which case the prosecutor would lose his costs. The Lord Chief Justice said he thought the learned counsel must be under the necessity of bringing Mr. Train up for judgment irrespective of the rule referred to. Mr. Chambers said there was some doubt enter tained in the Crown-office that that coarse could be pursued. He thought it could. Application refused. 2'HE JIUBDER AT WORCESTER. WORCESTER, MONDAY. The inquest on the body of Emily Jones, who was found murdered in a pool near Perry Wood, within a mile of this city, on Wednesday last, under cir cumstances which could leave little doubt that her sweetheart, a man named Grundy, had killed her, was resumed and concluded before Mr. W. S. P. Hughes, county coroner, this afternoon. The evidence given on the former examiva tion had proved that the deceased had been nu company with the prisoner Grundy all Tuesday -- night, and they had then been seen walking together in the fields near Perry Wood early on Wednesday morning. When last seen together, about 9 o'clock that morning, they were walking across a field in the direction of the pool, and were seen to within 70 or 80 yards of it. Two witnesses were now examined. John Holder and George Smith were engaged on the Midland Railway, who saw the prisoner coming from the direction of the pool at about half-past 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Ho was walking very fast. Harriet Grundy, sister to the prisoner, deposed that when the prisoner came home, shortly before 10 on the Wednesday morning, he appeared agi tated, and continually exclaim( d, " I've done for her." He did not say whom he meant by " her." She judged from her brother's countenance that something serious had happened. He had been in an asylum from July to October last. He, had a quantity of laudanum in his possession oa the pre vious Monday, in consequence of which, her mother had given information to the police, and he had been - taken before the magistrates en 'Tuesday, but was discharged by them on his undertaking to ap p.-ac twin Liefore them next day. [ln the Metal time, however, the deed had been done.] Mr. Budd, surgeon, described the results of the post mortem examination. He found two severe wounds on the left and back side of the head, ap parently caused by some blunt instrument, possibly the hedge stake (produced) found in the pool by the side of the body. Death had resulted from the effect of these two blows, which had caused concus sion. It was not caused by drowning. There was no water in the windpipe or air tube. The stomach was healthy, and there were no symptoms of death by drowning. The jury, after a short deliberation, found a ver dict of wilful murder against Grundy. The prisoner was not present during the exami nation, the magistrate before whom he had been taken, and by whom he had been remanded, refus ing to allow him to be removed from the gaol. The coroner had, accordingly, applied to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who declined to interfere. CO UN2 .Itl MABKL 2b. .. ,bk--"--- COLCHESTER,-MAY 3.
