The reserve of notes shows a large addition, there being a corresponding decrease in the circulation. The public deposits, owing to the active revenue collections, have been considerably increased, while there is also a slight addition to the private depo sits.

THE LATE THOMAS 1100 D Dundee Ad vertiser says :—" It may not be generally known, b ut it ought to be that Thomas Hood, who so pathetically sung the Song of the Shirt,' spent two years thofe columnshut outh in Dundee, and began his literary career in of the Advertiser, the only newspaper then published in the town. It was in 1814, when Hood was 15 or 16 years of age, that he came to Dundee to live with his father's r_e_ai tives for the " benefit of his health, which was always del - cate. Here he found himself in the midst of aunts, uncles, and consin.s, of whose existence he had never preTiously heard, and whose language and manners were quite strange and .uncouth to one who had been born and bred in Co ckneedoni ; it was,' he observes, like coming among the Struldftrugs.' During these two years his amusements were w alks fishing, and boating, occasionally relieved by writing for the columns of the Advertiser, then under the editorship of the late Mr. Rintoul of the Spectator. He also centri bated a few trifles to the Dundee Magazine. On examin ing a file of the Advertiser, extending over the period of Hold's sojourn in Dundee, we cannot to a certainty iden tify any article, either in poetry or prose, as Hood's Own,' the contributions in general assuming fanciful names; yet We alight on an occasional whimsicality' which m ight have come from the pen which eketchecl s 0 b.uracr9u B lY Min Silmanpegg.'

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRITTAE ASSAULT.—Frederick Jones and Rebecca Good; two residents in Seven Dials, a place which of late has be come rather notorious for the number of violent assaults which hare been committed, were charged before Mr. Deaden with committing a ,savage assault on Briarly, 61 F, in Dudley-street, Seven Dials. The constable said he beard the woman making use of very gross language, and as he could not get rid of her, he took hold of her to remove her, when the male prisoner came and gave him a violent blow in the eye, knocking him down, and while on the ground one of his companions kicked him on the forehead, and the female prisoner struck him several severe blows in the face. The prisoners were two of the worst characters about Seven Dials, and their conduct was only a specimen of what took place almost nightly in the same place. Mr. Beadon committed the prisoners for a month each. The prisoners left the bar laughing. SHOCKING ACCIDENT FROM THE NOISE 07 A RAILWAY TRAIN. Yesterday afternoon an investigation took place before Mr. Wakley, coroner, and a respectable jury, at the Lord Wellington, Sussex-street, Tottenham court-road, into the circumstances attending the dreadful death of Mr. Joseph Dodd Burnett, aged 37, a timber-merchant, and extensive Government contractor, doing business in Tottenham-court-road, and residing at Wood-green, Tottenham. The de ceased was well known and highly respected, and much interest was attached to the proceedings. Mr. Joseph Jones, a nephew of the deceased, de posed that on Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, he went to the University Hospital, and found his uncle, who had met with a serious acci dent. He blamed no one, but exclaimed," Oh, Thompson, this would never have happened if it had not been for me." Mr. Thompson, of 9, Great Quebec-street, Marylebone, stated that on Monday evening, about six, he was driving a phaeton under the Camden town-bridge of the North-London Railway, accom panied by deceased and another gentleman, and the noise of a train passing at the time frightened the horse, which bolted, and having ran some dis tance witness then seemed to get the better of it. who""ron t" anoon-g.a. in his fright. snatched the reins, and pulled the animal from one side of the road to the other, causing all three to be thrown out, inflicting frightful injuries on deceased, and more or less injury to himself and the other gentle man, who was unable to attend on account of it. Decemod was removed to St. Mary's Hospital. By the Jury—The train was whistling on pass ing the bridge. The house-surgeon of University Hospital deposed that deceased was admitted about eight on the above evening, on account of various serious injuries. It was considered necessary to amputate one leg about one hour and a half afterwards, and he expired early on Wednesday morning. A juryman protested against a train whistling, as in this case, when passing a bridge over a metro politan thoroughfare, and that some means should be adopted, which could be easily done, to deaden the rumbling sonnd of a train passing over such a bridge, as numbers of serious and similar accidents had recently occurred. The Coroner concurred in the latter suggestion, and expressed his willingness to receive any re commendation to that effect. The jury, however, simply returned a verdict of Accidental death."

The Moniteur de la Flotte makes these observa tions : " Events have marched with incredible rapi dity. The expedition into Sicily was considered an act of folly ; few people believed in the suc cess of a descent on the mainland ; the In surrection in the Pontifical States appeared a wild dream ! And vet now Sicily is almost annexed to Piedmont ;the King of Naples has abandoned his throne; the Pontifical froops fall back before the victorious revolution, and Garibaldi keeps Austria on the alert in Venetia. To go to Venetia is for him a danger, or as some say it will be a fault ; but, whether fault or danger, we do not think that the Italian movement can be checked. If a defeat is probable at Venice, a victory is possible ; and it is Garibaldi's game to run the risk. By the side of this bold project there is the question of European peace which is incontestably at stake. Up to this moment it has been said and repeated in the diplo matic world that Austria would maintain an ex pectant attitude, and remain on the defensive, that she would not attack, and would confine herself to defending her positions and her Italian possessions. In the present state of things, however, it seems to us difficult for her long to continue this passive con duct; she will be obliged to abandon her reserve. We fear that ; but for the sake of European peace we do not wish it." TILE .FRENCH PRESS ON _ITALIAN Several of the Paris journals remark on the pro clamation of King Victor Emmanuel and the en entrance of the Piedmontese troops into the States of the Church. We subjoin a few extracts, coin menclng with the 4: iecle, which expresses itself in these terms : " The importance of this decision cannot escape the attention of any one; it is the commencement of ' a new phase of the Italian question. We offer up our ardent prayers that the intervention of Pied mont may not lead to any other. The plan of the Italian counter-revolution, as we have frequently pointed out, was precisely by its excesses to force Piedmont to assume a decided position, and with her usual chivalric feelings she has now done so. Between her and the adventurers of all nations who have placed themselves in the pay of Italian counter-revolution, the question cannot be doubtful. Many persons ask themselves whether it would not have been better to have al lowed the people to have effected their work of emancipation, and thus have not given any pretext for foreign intervention. Europe has, however, witnessed all the facts as they have taken place; she knows from which side tho provocations have come ; she is aware who has compared the revolu tion to Islamism, and who has preached up a cru sade against the enfranchisement of Italy. We hope that she will know how to make due allowance for the necessities which so many provocations have created for King Victor Emmanuel, and for the dangers which Italian order and Catholicism itself would have incurred if a regular Govern ment had not prevented the disorderly struggle which was necessarily about to break out. A rumour is generally current that certain Powers would not regard with displeasure the inter vention of the King, which would appear t• them of a nature to lead more speedily to a European understanding. It is true that the Petrie has given the most formal contradiction to the Independence of Brussels which gave this report, and affirms that all the Powers eoneiclor the entrance of Piedmont into the Papal States as a violation of the law of ' nations. Nevertheless, if it is so isolated as the Petrie says, no one can explain to himself why Piedmont had not waited patiently until the force of events had brought about a conflict between the troops of Gen. Garibaldi and those of General de Lamoriciere. She might, if she had only listened to the dictates of the narrow instinct of self-preser vation, have remained a spectator of that struggle, and profited by it at her ease. Very powerful mo ral interest must have decided her to interfere. Events will explain what those interests are. The motives which have determiaed the action of the Sardinian army in the Marches are pointed out by the proclamation of Victor Emmanuel to his sol diers, and particularly by the repetition of the scenes of Perugia at Fossombrone." The following is from the Debats : "As it was easy to foresee, the prophetic ab jurations of the Constitutionnel have been esti mated at their true value at Turin. If there still remained the least shadow of doubt as to Victor Emmanuel's designs,it is now dissipated. A despatch from Bologna, dated the 11th, announces that Ge neral Cialdini has passed the Roman frontier. We cannot yet fix the moment when this passage was effected, which will be in its consequences one of the gravest facts in contemporary history, if it should lead to Austrian intervention, and one of the most important in the history of the world, if it should ultimately lead to the ruin of the temporal power of the Popes. The revolt of the town of Fossombrone, and its repression by the Pontifical troops, appear to have determined General Cial dini's advance, after hesitating ,two or three days. If it should so turn out, Fossombrone, the forum sempronii of the Romans, one of the smallest towns in Italy, will have twice wit nessed in the course of centuries events of incalcu lable importance, since it was there that, more than 2,000 years ago, the defeat of Asdrubal secured the safety of Pagan Rome, and sealed the ruin of Car thage, as the fate of Catholic Rome may perhaps be decided there in our day. Before the Piedmon tese troops invaded the Papal territory, they must have had time to receive the decisive proclamation which Victor Emmanuel had addressed to his army, and which we have received by telegraph from Turin."

The 10 bat talions of the National Guard which have been called out will assume their duffel on the 15th. These battalions will be divided as follows :—Five at Alessandria ; three at Bologna; two at Pavia. The Official Gazette of this evening publishes the names of their officers. A strong corps d'artnee, the head-quarters of which are at Piacenza, is keep ing watch upon the movements of the Austrians. " Great attention is being paid to the navy. A portion of the Neapolitan fleet is ordered to Genoa, and the Government has just purchased several large transport steamers. It is not thought that Austria will move till Ver• etia is attacked ; but there must be no illusion on the subject. Sooner or later the struggle must come. This question of Venice will arouse the passions of Italy as soon as the other ques tions are settled. As regards France, the articles in the Constitutionnel and La Patrie have not the slightest effect. The idea that France cannot sepa rate herself from us, and will defend us if attacked., is deeply rooted, and a hostile fact only could dispel it. People may just possibly be wrong, but such is the opinion nevertheless. " The Marquis Pepoli is designated Governor of the Marches, and M: Valerio Governor of Umbria. "M. de Talleyrand, the French Ambassador, has left for Nice, to pay his respects to the Emperor. MM. Kossuth and Klapka are still here, and live very retired. The King has not yet left for the army. It is now said he will proceed to Naples as soon as Francis 11. shall have finally left the ter ritory. I cannot guarantee this report, which is, however, probably correct. It would be the best means of paralysing the influences that might act upon Garibaldi, who professes a sort of worship for the King. The Sicilian papers announce that MM. Bertani and Crispi are going to Naples. It is still feared they may induce Garibaldi to entrust the government to them, which would be seen here with extreme displeasure." The following is the order of the day issued by General Cialdini on taking the field : " Soldiers of the 4th Corps,—l am leading you against a band of foreign adventurers, whom the thirst for gold and the desire of pillage have brought into our country. "Attack and disperse these miserable Sicilians without mercy; let your hand smite them with the anger of a people which wishes its nationality and independence. " Soldiers 1 Perugia cries aloud for vengeance. Though late, she shall have it. " General Commanding the 4th Corps, " CIALDINI." La' Patric announces the departure of the ex- King of Naples from Gaeta, on board a Spanish frigate. The Debats, in giving the paragraph, states that it has not received any information of the an nouncement.

He was charged with having hired a horse for his own private use, and having bad- the expens e se t d own t o hi s employer. The second charge was, that he obtained from Mr. H. Strickland the sum of £3, money lodged by Mr. Pascoe as earnest on a bargain with Messrs. Brockman and Slade for the delivery of certain horses. It appears that, during the absence of Mr. Howell at Guildford, Rob son, without any author ity, wrote a letter to Messrs. Brockman and Slade, in Mr. Howell's name, advising them to compromise the matter of the horses by returning Pascoe the £3, and sending the sum of £2, Pascoe's expenses, and 15s. 6d., Mr. Howell's expense s . R o b son, in defence, stated that it was a private arrangement between Pascoe and himself. The magistrate acquitted him of the charge. There being other charges against Robson, he was re manded until the following day, when Mr. owell, having signified that he would not take further proceedings, the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the establishment for hiring a horse under ftibe prigoacos. —4ffsfro(iffit air Arew grizgef, TILE NEW _FRENCH - STEEL PLATED FRIGATE LA GLOIRE. If I am correctly informed, says a writer from Paris, a trial will be made at Algiers on the 19th inst. of the new steel-plated frigate La Gloire. The experiments, it is said, will show her rate of speed. and the effect of her batteries. The Paine has an article on the new invention. It considers the pro blem resolved and the success of steel-plated men of-war established by the trials that have already been made of the Gloire. With the whole of her iron sheathing upon her fully armed she is believed to have decisively proved her stability upon the water and her great speed. She went out fully stored and equipped, as if proceeding on a cruise, She had on board all her artillery, all her am , munition, at the rate of 150 rounds per gun, where as, according to regulation, line -of-battle ships carry only 110 rounds ; she had provision s for her crew of 570 men for 85 days, and 675 tons of coal, a quantity sufficient for seven or eight days under full steam. With all this weight, she sank less i n the water than her engineers had anticipated. The difference is small, only six centimetres, but it is a gain instead of a loss, and would permit, if neces sary, an additional weight of 66 tons.' After giving various details, the substance of which is to be found in the article recently sent to you from the Moniteur de la Flotte, the writer concludes as follows : " Henceforward the true ship-of-war exists in France. The sailing vessel was no longer one, for its locomotion was as uncertain and irre gular as the caprice of the elements. Neither is the steamer entirely composed of wood a true slf ip-of-war, for a single happily-directed projectile sufficed to tear its sides at the very first moment of the combat, and, in certain cases, to paralyse its engine, the organ essential to its life. Steel-plated steamers alone bear in themselves the principles of their movement and of their force, and are, so to say, enveloped by a l mos t com pl e t e invulfierAility. Our floating batteries already possessed that in vulnerability, but they lacked speed. The Gloire possesses both. England will follow us closely in the path we have just opened. In little less than a year hence she will, in her turn, have armed the Warrior. Our success obliges us to consider that of our neighbours as certain. Does it not, more over, satisfy the legitimate self-love, that we have effected twice in two years, without examples or models, a radical revolution in naval construction and in naval war P" IRO N- SED SHIPS. The Moniteur de la Flotte has taken up the sub ject of Iron-cased Ships, to which we adverted on Monday last, and has presented us with what we presume are the prevailing opinions on the other side of the Channel. Unfortunately, the French journal is totally silent on the points to which most interest attaches. We are told that the Gloire is a magnificent specimen of naval architecture, imposing to behold, and terrible to contemplate ; that she performs well both in smooth water and a heavy sea ; that her speed exceeds 13 knots an hour ; and that, in short, she is a complete success. It seems that the confidence of her architect in laying down several specimens of This class before assuring himself of the results by an experimental launch provoked some censure, but it is now affirmed that his auda city has received an entire justification in the per formance of the Gloire. We are then favoured with some reflections on this achievement. The Moniteur de la Flotte reminds us that twice within these ten years has England been surpassed by France in machines of maritime war. In 1850 the Napoleon gave us the first example of those screw ships of the line which eclipsed all other men-of war, and now, before we have well succeeded in fol lowing our leaders, a new element of infinitely greater power is introduced into the question, which must set us at work once more. The article before us, however, simply begs the whole question at issue: We want to know not what an invulnerable ship may be expected to do in naval warfare, but whether an invulnerable ship has been actually produced. We can perfectly un derstand that the Gloire is a fine specimen of her class, and vastly superior to any of the old floating batteries. We cm also imagine that the French have sacceeded very cleverly in combining great solidity of structure and heavy tonnage with un usual speed and real beauty of form. That is just the kind of problem which French naval architects would be likely to solve, for there are no more in genious shipwrights in the world than those across the Channel. But this is not a question of mere ingenuity, or even of shipbuilding. It is a question of iron manufacture combined with the manufacture of artillery. Tho point to be ascertained is whether a ship's side can be covered with armour impene trable to cannon shot, and of this we have no proof except in the evident satisfaction of the French th&moolvoo. As the Emperor Napoleon is building iron-cased frigates instead of ships of the line, we must, of course, presume that the French engineers have formed their conclusions, and that they have definitely reported in favour of the new system to the prejudice of the old. This, however, does not decide the question. We are not told, nor do we know, how the Gloire was tried ; nor to what tests she was subjected, nor with what kind of artillery the experiments were made. All we know is that our own experiments have sot, as far as their results have been published, warranted any similar decision. One description of armour alone has been hitherto found successful in pro tecting a ship from the effects of rifled cannon, and that is not the kind of armour in which the Gloire is sheathed. Even in this case the test is still imperfect, for it remains to be seen whether a concentrated broadside might not accomplish what single shots had failed to effect. Nevertheless, we are ready to admit that this very experiment shows how practicable the attempt may really be. When we read, as in our Naval Intelligence of yesterday, that a target has actually been manufactured with so protected a piece of woodwork representing a ship's side as to leave it " perfectly undisturbed by the severe firing to which it was subjected," we can no longer deny that an invulnerable ship may be a possi bility. Such a machine may perhaps be produced ; the question is whether the French have pro duced it. They themselves have no doubts about their success, but we cannot profess equal cer tainty in the matter. If our neighbours are right, and if their artillery is as powerful as ours, we can only conclude that they have excelled us in the manufacture of iron plates—a supposition which our engineers would not be very willing to accept. Indeed, on a balance of probabilities, we must needs think it more likely that the French cannon were inferior to the Armstrong gun than that British iron has been surpassed in strength by that of French manufacture. To be sure, there is one more .alternative open to us, and that is to sup pose that in the application or adjustment of these plates there is a trick essential to the success of the experiment which we have not discovered, but the hypothesis is not:very probable. On one point, however, the remarks of our French contemporary are certainly justifiable. The administration of our navy has been always .unhappily compounded of obstructiveness and precipitation. Our Boards of Admiralty either resist inventions to the utmost, as in the case of carronades and screw propellers, or plunge o head long into a new theory, as in the case ofthat steamers. We are not prepared to say they have been unduly cautious on the present occa sion, for we do not yet profess to se as so very e o ur way r clearly, but the precedent of 1850 appe ars -g e when the apropos that wo can . feel no surprise If the rp French journalist applies to 18 Admi ralty should at last decide that all ships-of-war must be s t e el -p late d, and promulgateit wouldf ohu t ar h v hbee i emuch i st conclusiongotor a y .fi vnet exactly at the time that the French of these vessels ready f or sea, accordance with form er p assages should then have t he alarm so in e arnest and after a couple of years' panic and tremendous exer tions, should find ourselves a match for our neigh bours just when they were striking out a new line onc e more. That is our system—perhaps our des tin We are less inventive, it is said, th an o th er y. people, but m . o . re capable of imp rov i ng upon inven tions. If this is the case things w ill come r i ght i n the and, provided only we are not left too far in the rear, and all we have to do is to keep ourselves open to reason, eschew prejudice, and waste no time. It may seem like a piece of ironical pleasantry on the part of the French journal to speak of all this rivalry as a " pacific contest," increasing rather than exhausting the wealth of nations. That is not exactly the reflection suggested by the study of our Navy Estimates, or likely to arise from a fresh " reconstruction" of our Fleet. There is really, however, a foendation of truth in the remark, and this last invention of iron-cased frigates goes far to bring it out. We have been for some time perfect ing the manufacture of artillery before which, as we flattered ourselves, no ship could stand. We shall now, if this new theory approves itself, begin elaborating the manufacture of ships against which all artillery will be useless. As a final result, there fore, presuming both nations to be equally success ful, France and England will have contrived at an enormous cost to construct two navies between which a combat will be impossible. If no ship of either nation can ever be taken, sunk, or damaged, it is rather difficult to see what form maritime war can take, and, as the same armour which renders ships invulnerable can be applied to fortifications on shore, the attack of land forts will clearly become a hopeless undertaking. If, in * short, the t h eor y of iron-eaped, frigate* can be egtAbiliShed, it IT111PrQ" ' nothing less than that the invention of artillery has been at length superseded exactly when it ap peared. to be approaching perfection. The science of defence will have become superior to the science of attack, and when that is brought to p ass war will have been shorn, not only of many of its hor rors, but of many of the prospects for the sake of which it is unc:ertaken.—'limes. ANOTHER TATAL DISASTER IX THE ALPS. We regret to have again to record a fatal disaster which happened in the Tyrol on the morning of the 31st of August last, and by which the Rev. W. a Watson, chaplain of Gray's-inn, and grandson of the celebrated Bishop of Llandaff, met with a simi lar fate to that which o tecently befell our three unfortunate countrymen in crossing the Col duGeant. At 2 o'clock on the morning of the above•men tioned day the unfortunate gentleman, with his friend, Mr. Frederick K. H. Cock, barrister, started from the chalets of the Mutterberg Alp, at the head of the Stubbayer Thal, where they had passed the previous night, for the purpose of cr oss i ng the wa had glacie r pass, which leads them to Solden in the Otzthal. Th ey were accompanied by Jakob Muller, a h gui de beenfrom b l i i g r b es ly sb r a e c e h m i m n en th d e ed S t t a ub t b be aLer by Thal, cure of l eustift, the last village in the valley. They proceeded in perfect safety the pass, having to the summit d of in the' further difficulty than wasir way up e e d nc b oun t t i ere no of the snow, which in parts presented stebnet steep ysl slopes state b which they ascended was knee deep. The P route y down from the Col into the Windacher Thal, a small lateral valley which runs into the Otzthal within a short distance of Solden, lay over the steep snow slopes of the Windacher Ferner or glacier (in the Tyrol " ferner " is the name by which glaciers are known), which in parts were intersected by ridges of rock, A l en _ g which it was impossible to pass. Upon reaching the second of these ridges Mr. Watson, who had Com plained of the excessive roughness and difficulty of the first, suggested to the guide to cross over the snow in preference. The guide yielding a ready assent, the party proceeded to " glissade" down two of the snow slopes in s uccess i o n. Upon reaching the end of the second a third presented itself, hemmed in on one side by a wall of rock, and on the other descending gradually to a lower elevation, where, as it was afterwards discovered, it terminatedin a. glacier stream, Here, as before, the guide, in an swer to an inquiry from Mr. Watson, whether they might cross by the snow, replied, " $y ail means.' Accordingly the three proceeded abreast, Mr. Cock being on the extreme right, Mr. Watson to his left at a distance of about two feet, and the guide to the left of Mr. Watson at about the same distance. They had gone about half way down when Mr. Cock suddenly felt his left leg sinking under him, and in an instant it went through the snow up to the hip. He threw himself forward on to the knee of his other leg, and drew the left leg after him, and so upon the firm snow beyond. He was in the act of rising and of remarking to his friend, " That was a nasty place," when, on looking towards Mr. Watson, he Leard the poor gentleman exclaim, " Hallo !" and saw him disappear downwards per pendicularly as if through a trap-door. A loud rumbling noise occasioned by his fall succeeded, at the end of which there was a momentary silence, broken by a faint moan which lasted for a few seconds, when all w as still. It was now 25 minutes past 6 a.m. Mr. Cock and the guide lay down upon the snow, and looked down the cavity which Mr. Watson had made, but they could discern nothing but an apparently fathomless abyss of ice. After waiting 10 minutes in vain for a response to their urgent entreaties to poor Mr. Watson to speak to them and let them know his position and the injuries which he had sustained, and after let ting down a rope, which the guide then for the first time in the day produced, Mr. Cock despatched the guide for assistance, he meanwhile remaining by the side of the fatal hole. After an absence of three hours and a quarter three men arrived from some chalets in the \Yandacher Thal with a rope, by which they let down one of their number. Mr. Cock had employed the intervening time in throw ing down the small stock of provisions that was left, and in letting down the guide's rope, length ened by Mr. Watson's plaid, which he cut in half and attached to it, and imploring his friend to speak to him, and fasten himself ; but all in vain. The man who descended reported that all was dark below him and he could see nothing. It was then reluctantly determined to leave the spot and pro ceed with all speed to Solden for a longer rope and more hands. Mr. Cock and the guide accordingly descended to Solden, where, with the aid of the kindhearted cure, ropes and men were procured, with whom Mr. Cock returned at once. It was past two o'clock when they left Solden, and it was not till about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon that they reached the scene of the disaster. Here a young man named Joseph Carlinger, of Kayser, near Solden, whose heroism we cannot too highly commend, was lowered into the abyss, and after he had descended, at the immin en t danger of his life, to a depth of about 90 feet English, he discovered the body of the unfortunate gentleman in a recumbent position, so far as he could judge by touching it with his hands, for the darkness was so great that he could see nothing. A cord was let down through the hole made by Mr. Cock's leg in the morning, and attached to the body. It required the united strength of the eight persons present to draw it up to the surface. With .the exception of the head, on which were visible severe wounds and contusions in rude contrast with the peaceful ex pression of the face, it was uninjured, but perfectly cold, and it was evident that life had long been extinct. A post mortem examination showed that most extensive extravasation of blood upon the brain had taken place in consequence of the violence of the shock, and there is no doubt that death must have been instantaneous. Exactly 12 hours elapsed between the time of the accident and the moment when the body emerged from the abyss. The unfor tunate gentleman was borne down to Solden, where the circumstance of the disaster underwent the most searching investigation at the hands of an official Commission, despatched for the purpose from Silz, the chief town of the district. It resulted from this inquiry that the guide was solely and grievously responsible for the fatal occurrence. In answer to explicit inquiries made before starting he had re peatedly assured both the travellers that there was not the slightest danger in the pass, but that it was merely a fatiguing walk owing to the depth the snow, knees. snow, which in places would be up to their it He never once produced the rope, which, hereas ap peared when too late, he had with C h o i l ra' and more the glaciers on both sides of the_ cult , on no ac especially on the Stubbayer side, la 11 s hould attempting count be crossed without tying I t of danger at any it together ; he threw out no l o a f , upon his reap part of the route, and, worst ra the chalets, he ab stained with the men f rom snow to join Mr. Cock, stained from recrossing the rocks at • some dis but remained in safety up _ tance. We learn that he b to e put upon his trial for his conduct. . A brother of the deceased, who had been sum monad by telegraph from England, arrived at Sol den on Saturday the Bth, and on the following morning read the funeral service over the grave. The body had been interred the previous Tuesday in the churchyard of Solden by the excellent cure, the R e v. Bernhard Schopf, who could with greater kindness or more affectionate sym pathy if the unfortunate gentleman had been at once of his own faith and his own kin. The whole population, indeed, vied with each other in render ing to Mr. Cock the greatest assistance throughout the very trying circumstances in which he was placed. The friends of the deceased have the con , solation of knowing that, through the de'rotion and energy of that gentleman, everything that human means could effect was tried, though, alas ! vain. It only remains to add that the two gentlemen were no inexperienced novices in Alpine travelling. Last year they had together achieved some of the most difficult heights and passes in Switzerland, of which it may suffice to mention Monte Rosa, the Col du Geant, and the Col d'Adler. LOST. LITERATURE.—In these days of cheap printing and toleration, book- burninF is looked upon as a puerile folly, upon a par with the Irish method of spiteing a banker by burning his notes. Still literature has suffered losses. As Wat Tyler's victorious rabble made firebrands of the ancient records of the City of London, so mad mobs destroyed invaluable treasures when they set fire to Lord Mansfield's and Dr Priestley's houses. The Vandal Mao' sena, in retreating from the lines of Torres Vedras, want o l destroyed the church and convent of Alcobaca, rich of the national literature of Portugal.
