MARKET HARBOROUGH, AUG. 3L The accident on the Midland Railway, on Thurs day night was not attended with quite such imme diate fearful results as was stated on Saturday. It was, however, of an appalling character, one man being killed on the spot, upwards of 20 others se verely injured—two or more of them there is too much reason to fear fatally so—and some 30 or 40 others sustained injuries of a less severe character. The train to which the accident occurred was a re turn excursion train fieeen Barton, Melton, Leices ter, and. Manton. It started from those places on Wednesday morning . for London, and was to return on Thursday evening; and was advertised to start on the return journey from King's-cross station at half-past 7in the evening. From the number of pas sengers, however—there were some I,soo—it was determined to divide,the train into two, both on the up journey and the Own. On the down journey there were 49 carriages altogether, and they were diVided as equally:esszentlgtee. be, 25 being allocated to one train and 24 to another. Besides the large number of carriages, another reason for making two trains of them was that a great proportion of the passengers came from Burton, and it was convenient to have them altogether, as the car riages containing them would have to leave the main line at Knighton Junction in order to get on the branch to Burton. The first train, consisting of 25 carriages, contained the Burton passengers, and the second, consisting of 24 carriages, contained the passengers to Leicester and Manton. Though ad vertised to start at half-past seven, the first train did not start till 10 minutes to eight, and the second started five minutes afterwards. The distance from London to Market Harborough is 81 miles, and the first train arrived at that station at seven minutes to eleven. Here it stopped for water. The tank from which the water is obtained for the engines of the down trains is at the north end of the station ; but the train extended to about 30 yards beyond the signal posts, which are to the south of the station. The second train, it appears, stopped for water at Bedford, which is 471 miles from London, and it is alleged that as it was going into the station at Bed ford the first train was just going out, and the red lights at the tail of the train could be distinctly seen. The operation of taking in water ordinarily occupies from seven to ten minutes; so that the first train had the start from Bedford by at least seven minutes, and this distance of time between the two trains seems to have been kept up till they got to Market Harborough, but the first train did stop there for water at seven minutes to eleven. The station was closed, there being no more trains expected to stop that night ; the lights were all put out, and the London and North Western station master (it is a joint station of the two companies) was going to bed. Hearing the train stop, how ever, he went out on the platform to render any as sistance that might be required. A number of the passengers alighted, and some of them expressed their anxiety with regard to the second train, which they knew was close behind them ; but the majority appeared to he merry, and many were the tender inquiries " How's your poor feet," those who used that slang phrase being little aware how soon that same inquiry would be made of many of them in sad reality. They had all been got into the carriages, the doors were closed, and the train was just about to start, or rather had started, the engine having given one or two puffs, when the alarm whistle of the engine of the second train was heard sounding loud, long, and continuously. The guard of the first train seeing the second ap proaching, and that a collision was inevitable, jumped from the break-van, and called out " Pas sengers, jump for your lives." Those who heard his call—and indeed many who did not, for panic spread itself with wonderful celerity—instantly made most frantic efforts to get out of the carriages, and a few succeeded and got on the platform in safety, but the train came on and ran into the break van of ,the first train, smashing it to atoms, and throwing over and utterly destroying and breaking into spinters the carriage which was next to it. A composite carriage which was next to this was also thrown over and knocked to pieces. The first part of the train recoiled and broke the coupling chains and the train went on some 100 yards or so, and then stepped. The second train also stopped, the engine having been thrown off the line by the col lision, but it did not turn over, and it appears was not materially injured, nor was any damage done to the approaching train, nor were any of the pas sengers in it severely injured. But this was far from being the case with the unfortunate passen gers in the first train. Their screams were terrific. As soon as the trains were at a standstill or before, all who were not disabled from so doing were rush ing out of the carriages with all the haste they eould make. To add to the confusion the station was in total darkness, the lamps, as I have stated, having been, with one exception, all put out some time before. Some of the passengers had blood streaming down their faces, some of the women had their bonnets in their hands and their babes in their arms, and all except those who had been prostrated by the injuries they had received, were looking anxiously procured a around hand to la m p a ascertain nd what proceededh had be cohmeee end e of their fth atrain friends. an M a r f . ou ß n i d ch t , ha t t he th s r t e a e ti p o e n r - - per sons t ons were laid on the road, wedged under portions of of the carriages. It was impossible to extricate them at the moment, but with as much despatch as could be used a screw-jack was obtained, and several of the uninjured passengers set to work vigorously, and used their utmost efforts to extricate them. Three quarters of an hour elapsed before it was done. Thomas Stinson, a man from 40 and 50 years of age, a carrier. residing at Whitwich, was found to be dead. Another, Mr. Harrison, at Whitwich, had his arm broken ; and a third, had like wise sustained a severe injury to one eye. In the meanwhile a large bonfire was kindled with the debris of the broken carriages, in order to give light, and the station-master lighted the lamps up, opened the office, and directed some of the passen gers to go into the town, and get people to come to assist, and to bring as many medical men as they could find. At first, indeed, the policeman on duty mistook them for a number of drunken people, for they were naturally in an excited state, and he went to the police station for assistance, but Mr. Iliff, the superintendent of the county constabulary, soon ascertained the real state of things, and he hastened to the railway station. Mr. Ody, Mr. Heygate, and Mr. Francis, surgeons, and Mr. Gal loway, the assistant to the latter gentleman, who also quickly on the spot , andhad b g e re en at a n r n ou ni s b ed er , re a w a e f the inhabitants hastened to render assistance, taking with them water cans, glasses, sponges, linen, and other things which they thought might be useful to dress the wounds and assuage the sufferings of those who were in jured. Mr. Briswell, upholsterer, took up his fur niture van ; Mr. Mosey, the Midland superiaten dant, who lives in the town, also hurried to the station, and gave directions that he should be fol lowed by the horse and dray beLonging to the com et the station he tele pgraanpyliedOn arriving to Leicester for medical and other assistance, and also to prevent any other trains coming up in that direction. In the mean while, the booking-offices and Mr. Rich's house were converted into an hospital, and were filled with patients, who were furnished with such refreshments as his establishment furnished. About two o'clock from 40 to 50 of the passengers whose injuries did not prevent them being re moved were sent on to Leicester, and they were all attended to at the station by Drs. Lankester, Bol ton, Jackson, and Moore. Twenty-three others, whose injuries were of too severe a character to permit of their being sent further away, were car ried to hotels in Market Harborough. By this time a number of the passengers who had escaped injury had found their way to Market Harborough, and had roused the innkeepers there, for the purpose of obtaining refreshments. Many of them were much frightened, and they hired every available horse and vehicle in the place to convey them to their homes, rather than go in the train. Some 200 started for their homes in this manner. The remainder were despatched by train, and by five o'clock the line was clear, and the station re sumed its wonted appearance. The following is a list of the persons injured : Thomas Stinson, of Whitwich, dead Stinson, his brother, legs injured Thomas Price, of Coalville, broken leg, and otherwise seriously injured Mrs. Price, his wife, contused head and face, and other wise seriously injured Mr. Morley, jun., draper, Leicester, both legs much in jured, and Mrs. Morley also seriously injured and unable to proceed Mr. West, of Whittich, internally injured and bruised.

Richardson, post messenger, Thornton, hurt in the mouth Mary Anne Halliday and Sarah Moore, Victoria Inn, Coalville, bruised knees Dinatt, of Burton-upon-Trent, hurt about head and legs Bailey, of Ibstock, internal injuries, chest and ribs crushed in Some of the passengers seem to have had minim bons escapes. One stated that he was looking out of the window and suddenly felt himself lifted up, and that spreading his arms he alighted on the platform unhurt. Another said he found himself on the platform, but had no notion how he got there, but on looking at the carriage he had been in he found the top off, and he then lifted his wife out. The primary cause of the accident seems to have been the starting of the two trains within so short a time of each other, but a subsidiary cause is the peculiarity which attaches to the Market Har borough station. This station, as I have already mentioned, is a joint station of the London and North-Western and the Midland Companies, The Midland line runs into the North-Western line at Market Harborough, and the line for about three quarters of a mile from that place northwards is in fact part of the London and North-Western line. The station at Market Harborough is en tirely under the control of the London and North- Western Company, and the signal and pointsmen and other officers are their servants, the Midland having there only a superintendent of the traffic, who has no control over the business of the station. The blame rests between the engine-driver of the second train, who is in the employ of the Midland Com pany, and the signal-man, who is in the employ of the London and North-Western. On behalf of the latter, it is alleged that the signals were displayed to indicate danger, and that if the engine-driver had attended to these signals no collision could have occurred. In reference to the signal we should expliin that there is a large signal-post at the Mar ket Harborough-station, and about a third of a mile southwards there is what is termed an auxiliary signal, which is worked by the man at the main signal-post. , The signal-man, whose name is Hag gar, and who is represented to be a steady man, and who has been in the service of the company for several years, maintains that when the first train came in he put on the red light, which indicates danger, both on the main signal-post and on the auxiliary signal-post. On the other hand, the engine -driver, who is likewise highly spoken of, and who certainly seems to have been on the look out during the journey, avers that the light at the auxiliary signal-post was white, indicating that the line was clear. It is also alleged that when he saw the white light, which he could do at some dis tance before he approached it, he put on steam, so that when he arrived at the signal-post the train was in fall swing ; that he then saw the danger signal at the station, and immediately reversed his engine, and applied his break, and signalled to the guard to apply his break, but the road being on an incline, he was unable to stop the train, but that he th e e last night, had reduced the speed to some four or five miles an hour when the collision took place. The two startler; lin rhe auxiliaryperceived,down it the orthward of that signal post and from any point n , , but not southward as far a s e proc eaea.

Chapman, C. 8., Deputy Adjutant- General, has been issued from the Horse Guards by command of the Duke of Cambridge, which lays down the following regulations : " 1. Until further orders, the Engineer duties in India will be furnished as far as possible, by Engineer officers o the late Indian service, and by officers volunteering from the corps at large. But officers are liable to be ordered to India as at any other starion. "2. Officers cf the Royal Engineers desirous of serving in India wiil transmit their names to the Deputy Adjut.- General, Royal Engineers, Horse Guards, by whom a special roster of officers volunteering for Indian service will be kept. "3. Officers of the late Indian corps who may wish to serve permanently out of India must submit their applica tions, through their respective commanding officers, to the Adjt.-General of the army in India, by whom they will be forwarded, with such remarks as his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief may think proper, to the secretary to Go vernment in the Military Department. The application, if sanctioned by the Government of India, will be forwarded to the Secretary of State for India, and, if approved, will be communicated by him to the General Commanding-in- Chief. " 4. Officers of the late Indian Engineers, who have ob- tained such sanction, may apply to the Deputy Adjutant- General, Royal Engineers, at head-quarters, who, with the approval of the General Commanding-in-Chicf, will direct an exchange between the officers so applying, and any officers of similar rank serving out of India who may have recorded his name on the special roster for service in India; or officers of the late Indian Engineers who have obtained the necessary sanction may make arrangements with officers of equal rank serving in any part of the world, and submit their joint applications to the Adjutant-General for the - -- approval of his Royal Highness the General Commanding- in-Chief. " 5. Any officer of Royal Engineers proceeding to India under the above rules will be eligible for such employment as the local authorities may propose, bat will not necee sarily succeed to the appointment vacated by the officer whom he may replace. " The circumstances of officers serving in or out of India will not In any way affect their promotion, which will continue to run on in separate lists, as announced in the London Gazette of May 21, 18G1. " 7. Neither will it affect the claims of officers to full pay retirement, halfpao, or pensions under the regulations of the services to which they respectively and originally belonged. " 8. The payment of passages of officers to and from India will also be governed by the regulations of the ser • vice to which they heretofore respectively belonged. " 9. Officers of the late India Engineers will be allowed to count the whole of their services for pension whenever hey may be ordered to serve ; but if serving out of India, at their own request, they will be allowed to count only half of such service towards the period qualifying for pension. " 10. Officers originally belonging to the Royal Engineers who may serve India under thsse regulations will, subject to the approval of the General . ,Commanding-in-Chief, be allowed a tour of home duty, and will be admitted to the general roster when they return to England on leave, whe ther on medical certificate or on private affairs, after seven years' Indian service. But such officres may, if expedient, be permitted to return to India at the expiration of their leave of absence. " 11. Officers who have exchanged from the Indian to the general roster, or vice versa, may, with the sanction of the General Commanding-in-Chief, return again to their original service, under the provisions of paragraphs 2,3, and 4. " 12. Officers of the late Indian Engineers desirous of serving in the United Kingdom during the period of their leave of absence from India, will, with the approval of the General Commanding-in-Chief, be so temporarily employed on their making application to the Deputy Adjutant-Gene ral, Royal Engineers, at head quarters, if the requirements of the service permit ; and in this case it will not be neces- sary for officers to have obtained the sanction of the Govern ment of India, referred to in paragraph 3. " 13. All Engineer officers on leave from India will re ceive the rate of home pay fixed for officers of the late In dian corps, so long as they are unemployed. But they will revert to Imperial military pay and cease to receive any por. tion of India Staff pay when employed at the Imperial charges." A memorandum is referred to in the order which is of great length, and defines the establishment, administration, special and ordinary duties, appoint ments, and distribution of the officers specially em ployed. To it are attached tables showing the emoluments of officers on the seconded lists and staff appointments, also th e es t a bli s h ment an d d ut i es o f corps in Indic. A table is also appended giving the pay and allowances of Engineer officers, superin tendent, executive, and assistant officers. Col. Guy, C. 8., commandant of the camp at Col chester, has just made his annual inspectio n of the attached to 10th battalion . Captain Haye s, of the sth Drago on Guards, has arrived at the camp and is the 9th battalion for infantry drill. Eleven privates of the Ist battalion of the 6th Regi ment have been transferred from the service com panies of their regiment at Portsmouth to the depot at the camp, in consequence of their being in ill health. The detachments of the 9th and 10th bat talions stationed at Landguard Fort,'llarwich, have been relieved by 43 non-commissioned officers, 9th battalion, and 61 non-commissioned officers, 10th battalion, under the command of Brevet Major Vance, of the 38th. The departure of troops from Aldershott in the course of the present week will be numerous; but arrivals will doubtless shortly take place to supply the vacancies created by removal. To-day the I battery Royal Horse Artillery, Capt. W. B. Saun ders, will leave for Dublin via Bristol, and the K battery 4th Brigade Royal Artillery, Lieut.-Col. J. D. Shakespear, leave for Hilsea.

STAMPED is mentioued above as being oue Of the injured pas sengers, has addressed the following letter to the Leicester Mercury : " Sir,—l was a passenger by the Excursion train advertised to leave London on its return to Lake,_ t er a t half-past :even last cv,ning. On relehing the station, ten minutes before the time of starting, I foun 1 there were two trains nbout to lea 'e front opposite sides of the same platform, which 1 take to be some twelve feet in depth—one for Leicester, the other for Burton, via Leicester. At that time each of the Leicester carriages was quite full, fir, d there were then 50 to 60 persons waiting for seats. The number continued to increase. After a delay of nearly ten minutes, and when it was time to start, additional carriages, without light (as, indeed, were many others), were attached to the train. I, with my family, took seats in the compartment nearest the engine of the second carriage from it. " The Burton train left as near as I can recollect at twenty-five or twenty-six minutes to eight. We left the station about six minutes afterwards. We had scarcely passed through the tunnel when our speed was slackened, and the passenger who sat nearest the window, en looking out, said he saw the Burton train before us. Several times during our journey from London to Hitchin it was asserted that the Burton train was still in sight. On ap proaching Hitchin, and again at Bedford, I looked out for myself, and became so sensible of our danger that I scarcely resumed my seat, but continued my occasional watchings. We had not come at an un usually fast speed, but that speed, varied at different points. On approaching Harborough I noticed that the break was on, and scattering its fire—the whistle sounded, and the speed evidently slackened. Presently we had that peculiar note given on the approach of imminent danger. Tak ing my child from its mother, I cried out, " There is a concussion coming, take care." Instantly we felt the shock. On somewhat recovering I opened the door, and at our feet lay the wounded and the dying. There was some little confusion at first, owing to the darkness. There was no lack of will ing hands, but no one knew the extent of the catas trophe, or the danger yet to be incurred. A few minutes only had passed, when, from the material of the wrecked train, blazing fires were kindled, and a scene of appalling horror exhibited itself. The wounded and the dying were removed. There were to be seen those who themselves had suffered indifferent as to their own wounds, lending willing aid to those more injured than themselves, and those from whom the life blood was ebbing were seen patiently waiting till help could be afforded. You will have heard the result. It was not until one personal friend had been killed, and a second so much disfigured as scarcely to be recognised, and a third, himself injured, mourning a dead brother, that I left the outside to aid in consoling the suf fering ones. After waiting for two hours in the darkness (for most if not all the lamps had been put out by the concussion) there was no undue haste in filling the carriages which came to bear us home; nor did any one complain of having to wait two hours more, in a cold drizzling atmosphere, nor do I think any one would have complained if they had been expected to wait till morning, bad they been told so. But when four hours had elapsed, and the feverish excitement had somewhat cooled, men began to think of their wives, mothers of their children at home, and very eager were the inquiries to the driver of the pilot train for information, but neither he nor any of the officials could or would give in formation. It was then, and not till then, that we felt our feelings were being trifled with; and after waiting four hours and forty minutes in Harborough, on our 'arriving in Leicester we were not suffered to come in till nearly ten minutes had elapsed. No one can blame the authorities for the exercise of caution, but for ticket collectors to be found haggling about a ticket lost amid such excitement, detaining from 300 to 400 persons, whose friends were in fearful suspense, was indeed too bad. My impression—l may say my belief—is that the accident was caused by advertising two trains pass ing through the same district to start back at the same time. If such a large train had not been anti cipated when advertised, yet as the number of pas ' sengers who went was known, a fair idea could be formed of the numbers likely to return, and a bill at King's-cross station, postponing one division 'for half an hour, and directing it to start from another platform, might have prevented the accident. Again, when a number of persons, such as there were last night, are waiting to take their places, it seems to me that to keep them waiting till the last minute is to endanger life and limb. To send carriages on a night journey of 130 miles without light not only tended to produce inconvenience, but is unworthy of the Midland Company.—l am, sir, your obedient servaLt, WILLIAM WOODS. 74, New-walk, Leicester. THE BIRTH OF A PRINCESS IN TURKEY We have been favoured with the following par ticulars of the recent ceremony attendant upon the birth of a princess, which will doubtless be interest ing to our readers. When the ladies of distin guished personvges present themselves on the occa sion of the Sultan's confinement, the custom is for them to offer their congratulations to the Sultan. They appear before his Majesty unveiled, and dressed in the richest costumes, but they wear no jewels. On the recent occasion they were intro duced according to the rank and position of their husbands. First, the lady of the Grand Vizier, then the lady of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, afterwards the wife of Mustapha Pasha and of the Sheikh-ul-Islam, followed by the remainder. There were also some Christian ladies present; among others, Madame Guatelli, Madame Pecipio (the I mother of Marco Pasha), Madame Dadian, &c. 00 , the presentation of the ladies in the apart first w here his Majesty was awaiting them thel : fl s bowed on passing the door, then advanced, and trated themselves, kissed his Majesty 'f _ i hot' on rising up, again bowed. Upon th t s he whole jesty, who remained on foot duri iv eg and mad e . b 0 of the ceremony, replied by a as to them inquiries individually of the ladle' psing s evera l selves and their husbands. After as days at the Palace, the fa ir v i s itants returned to ying previously nt y in homes, each of the m M.ajesty's bouy n ce ived munificent tokens ! i f „ iih r n i: e richly embroidered the shape of a beautifulateoi; brilliants.

The ex quisite beauty of many of the ladies, the brilliancy and richness of their toilets, their animation and grace, was in every respect a most pleasing object to behold, aid cannot fail to have removed many prejudices which might have existed in the minds of their frank companions. The Sultan appeared delighted in the company of the ladies, and exhi bited a politeness not to be excelled by the most polished gentleman in Europe.—Levant 1 erald, Aug. 20. [ADVERTISEMENT:I—HoIIoway's Pills.-7he Perfect ion of Medicine. —Nothing can surpass this restorative of the invalid; let the malady be what it may, or be it seated where it will, these fine purifying Pills will address them selves to its removal, and steadily accomplish their pur pose. They cleanse the blood, and by that means not only prevent the deposit of unwholesome materials, but stimulate the absorbients to remove all corrupt or worn-out substances. Thus have Holloway's Pills won their way to public estimation, which is obtainable and retainable alone by what is intrinsically good. The significancy of th es e remarks will be appreciated by thousans who took these Pills as a last resource, and derived from them reno -1 vated health after hope was almost abandoned. r ~' t <t -ti IV Pit E S KIV :VA IiON Or u i l A 1111„ ~ d , i csk The resignation of Mr. Andrew Ste s s, s opo r ,. has been for scree time anticipated, r , , ,.. ?li v a 4alaW, Y x , tively announced. On Friday afternoon str' were received in Cambridge by the aunt .bill '--e -the Liberal and Conservative panic; from" Mr. fl. Steuart, stating that, in consequence of private mat ters, he had resolved to withdraw froth the repre sentation, and wit h. that view Had applied ie the proper quarter in order to resign his seat. Ia his letter to Mr. Cockerel' (clerk of the peace for the borough, and agent for the Liberals) Mr. Steuart sa3 s that he writes that gentleman, as well as Mr. Bedew (agent, for the Conservatives), "in a spit it. of fairness, in order to Rive neither aide an Ay:in t-age." Mr. Steuart adds that his regret at the nee.s.sity of this step is materially lessened by the feeling he has that, under no circumstances could he continue to represent the views, or in voting fulfil the, perhaps, just expectations of his warmest friends in a political sense. Ho most thoroughly and sincerely disapproves the extreme line on Church matters taken up by the Conservative party. He considers in this view the influence of Mr. Disraeli most pernicious, and the prevailing High Church opinions to which the bulk and action of the Conservative party are committed utterly at var i an ce with sound policy. In short, when the Pope and his adherents consider the most desirable object the overthrow of the present Government, it is, in his conscientious view, the duty of a sound Protestant Conservative to support it. He adds that he need hardly say, therefore, that he should be glad to hear of a gentleman of political views of the stamp of Colonel Adair or Mr. Twisleton, being his successor. Colonel Adair was formerly member for Cambridge, and both he and Mr- Twisleton con tested the seat with - Mr. Steuart in the Liberal in terest, so that Mr. Steuart's recommendation of these gentlemen has created no small surprise among his late supporters. Mr. Steuart was first returned for Cambridge in April, 1857, and again in 1859. On the first occasion he headed Col. Adair by six votes only, and a scrutiny was had on behalf of the colonel, which, however, left Mr. Steuart in possession of the seat. Mr. Steuart at various times expressed him self as a Liberal Conservative, opposed to Maynooth and the Ballot, but in favour of gradual Reform, education on a broad religious basis, and an adjust ment of the religious question. The retiring mem ber is a Deputy Lieutenant of Banffshire. On Satur day evening a meeting of the more influential mem bers of the various sections of the Liberal party was held at the Hoop Hotel, Mr. Patrick Beales in the chair, and it was then cordially agreed that all the differences lately existing, and to which the recent defeats of the party were attributed, should be merged in the common cause, and resolutions were unanimously passed to the effect that Colonel Adair should be invited to come forward. A reply in the affirmative from Mr. Adair (who is at present in Scotland) is confidently anticipated. Mr. Adair, who is an advanced Liberal, is colonel of the East Suffolk Artillery, and has his seat at Flixton-hall, Norfolk. Mr. Adair was first a candidate for Cam bridge in 1845, on the election of Sir Fitzroy Kelly (then member) to the Solicitor-Generalship, bat was defeated by 17 Notes, under circumstances now no torious. In 1847 Mr. Adair was returned at the head of the poll, his colleague being the Hon. W. F. Campbell (now Lord Stratheden), and their de feated opponent, the Hon. J. H. T. Manners Sutton. In 1852 Messrs. Adair and Mowatt were defeated by Messrs. Macaulay, Q.C. (present member), and Astell, the numbers being, Macaulay, 821 ; Astell, 803 ; Adair, 737; Mowatt, 672. In 1854 Messrs. Adair and Mowatt were successful, against Lord Maidstone and Mr. Slade, Q.C. ; the numbers were Adair, 757 ; Mowatt, 731; Maidstone, 711; Slade, 695. Mr. Adair sat till 1857, when, as before stated, he and Mr. Hibbert were defeated by Messrs. Macaulay and Steuart ; the numbers then were Ma caulay, 769 ; Steuart, 735 ; Adair, 729 ; Hibbert, 702 It will thus be seen that Mr. Adair's connexion with the borough is of long standing. Mr. Barlow, agent for the ConserFatires, announces that the battle will be fought on their side with every confidence of victory, and that a fitting candidate will be an nounced in due time, and adds that the only diffi culty on the Conservative side is not the want of a candidate, but of selection among the aspirants. Mr. Beresford Hope has for some time been looked upon as the favoured of the Conservatives on the withdrawal of Mr. Steuart, and the latter gentle man's retirement when Mr. Hope has Stoke-upon- Trent upon hie hands is looked upon as ill-timed. Rumour now mentions the name of Mr. Vansittart, of Trinity College. Be the candidates whom they may, there will be plenty of time for preparation, as the writ cannot be issued until the assembly of Parliament. Clause 4of the " Election of Members during the Recess Act, 1848" declares that the clause giving authority to Mr. Speaker to issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ shall not apply to vacancies caused by the acceptance by members of the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, or any Crown manor. The state of the register and other circumstances leave but little doubt of the success of the Liberals, and the manner of Mr. Steuart's retirement is looked upon as a severe blow to the Conservatives. SUICIDE OF THE COLNE MURDERER. At an early hour on Saturday morning Walker Moore, upon whom sentence of death was passed at the Lancaster assizes for th e murd er of his wife, at Colne, in April last, committed suicid e i n L ancaster Castle. The murder , it Will be recollected, was committed with great coolness an d d eterm i nat i on, and the prisoner, during hi s t r i a l and at the time sentence of death was passed upon him, showed no s i gns w hatever of compuncti on , an d h ear d hi s f ate with the ut most composure and hardi saturday was the d ay fi xe d f or hi s execu tion pronouncedhood. Calcraft. Aft er M oore rece i ve d hi s sentence and w hen removed f rom t h e court, h e did not seem t io b y to ca re the least about his impending fate; indeed, he laughed, and at times joked; and it was shought by many that the jealous passion to which he had given way when he cut his wife's throat would buoy him up and delude him to the end. At the beginning of last week, however, a consciousness of his sad career began to show itself, and Moore more than once regretted what he had done, and devoted his time to religion. On Monday last he was visited by some of his relatives. The interview was painfully affecting, and Moore was moved to tears. On Tuesday he was visited by the high sheriff of the county. Moore, it is said, was much affected by this interview. At times the criminal com plained of not being provided with counsel on his trial. On Friday night Calcraft arrived in Lan caster, and the gallows was erected at the north western sine of the Castle, ready for the business of the following day. One of the local newspapers in speaking of Moore at this time, says :—" As the last hours of this unhappy man draw near his mind has become more open to the soothing consolations of religion, and his demeanour more befitting the ter rible position in which he is placed." On Saturday morning at six o'clock Moore awoke, after pass ing a tolerable night. Shortly afterwards he went to the watercloset, where, strange to say, it seems he was allowed to go alone. As, however, he did not make his appearance again in a reasonable time, one of the turnkeys who had been in charge of him went to the closet, and there to his horror found Moore lying with his head in the pan, quite dead. He had evidently first inserted his head into the closet, and then with one hand opened the water valve. Moore up to the time had been regularly at tended by two gaol officials, and why they permitted him to go alone to the closet is a mystery. Their conduct will form the subject of, a magisterial in quiry. Moore, if he had not thus put an end to his life, would have received the sacrament at eight on Saturday morning and have been hanged at noon. A large number of persons had got to Lancaster in anticipation of the execution befor e the suicide became known, and in consequenc e of the eve nt , both they and Calcraft were dep rived of the foul and horrible scene of a public strangulation, and had to return home totally "disappointed."
