The new buildings erected at the Royal Engi neer establishment, Chatham, to be used as lecture rooms, schools, model rooms, and for other purposes connected with the instrnotion of officers and men of the Royal and India* Engineers, are approach ing completion, the Government contractor em ployed in their erection having received orders to complete therm with the utmost despatch. The new buildinTs form one complete side of the Royal Engineers' barracks at Brompton, and, being built on moll side of the handsome memorial arch erected to the officers and men of the Royal Engineers wtva fell in the Crimea, they have a very i mpos i ng appearance. The entire work has been carried out under the personal superintendence of Col. Twiss, commanding Royal En g i neers at Cha tham garrison, and every care is directed to be taken that all the apartments into which the build ings are divided are furnished with every requisite to enable the Engineer officers and men to prose cute the particul ar s t u di es to which the various portions-of the edifice will be appropriated. A succession o f l ec t ures to the troops at Wool wich has commenced for the season by authority of the General commanding the garrison, Sir R. J. acres, a lecture having been given by each of the following officers, viz. :—Col. E. N. Wilford, Royal Artillery, Governor of the Royal Military Academy, who lectured on the study of universal history illustrated by reference to Eng lish history ; the Rev. G. C. Williams, chaplain to the forces, on electric telegraph ; Mr. Wherry, Superintendent of the Royal Artillery Schools, on China and the Chinese ; Mr. W. Y. Dent, of the Arsenal, on the atmosphere and its relations to animal and vegetable life ; and also by first-class schoolmaster Kirk, on natural phenomena. The lectures have been severally attended by upwards of 2,000 persons, principally belonging to the corps of artillery, all of whom manifestly appreciated the efforts thus made for their intellectual advancement. The lectures were profusely illustrated by scientific as well as amusing experiments and diagrams. Mr. Dent's experiments elucidating his lecture on the atmosphere were loudly and deservedly applauded. It is due to the efforts of Mr. Dent to state that, although he is not immediately attached to the garrison, he has voluntarily rendered a similar ser vice to the'troops on various other occasions. The French class, recently instituted by Sir R. Dacres for the non-commissioned officers of the regiment, has likewise shown the importance and utility of the undertaking, as, from the favourable reports of the class which have been officially transmitted to Portsmouth, Plymouth, and other garrisons in which brigades of the Royal Artillery arc quar tered, communications have been received at Wool- NS jell in order to ascertain the system employed by M. Baron, for the purpose of introducing a like system with them. Capt. Mercer's 3d battery, 4th brigade field ar tillery, yesterday embarked at Woolwich, on board the tronpshin Norwood, Capt. Bristow, for Auck land, New Zealand. The battery consists of Capt. Mercer, in command; Second Capt. W. H. Wat son, who has proceeded by the overland route to prepare the horses for the use of the battery on their arrival ; Second Capt. A. S. Hunter, Lieut. 11. C. Magenis, Lieut. A. T. Pickard, and Assist.- Surg. W. Temple, M. 8., 256 non-commissioned officers and men, and 22 women and children. They were played to the place of embarcation in the Ar senal by the Artillery band, and were accompanied by Brigade Major Shaw, Major Reilly, C. 8., Aide de-Camp to the General, and Major Field, Deputy Assist.-Quartermaster-General. The Norwood re mained at her moorings for the night, and was to sail early this morning for her destination. TEE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. LONDON IRISH RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. The following regimental order, issued by Col. the Marquis of Donegal, was read on parade On Tuesday evening : " Orderly-room, Nov. 20. " In consequence of the strict regulations with regard to rifle practice issued by the War Depart ment, I am compelled to postpone the date of shoot ing for prizes, at present fixed for Dec. 26, until such time as the members of the corps shall have had the opportunity of qualifying themselves to eontend for them. " I trust that by Easter Monday all members will have passed through the requisite musketry in struction, comprising both ' preliminary drills' and ' target practice ;' and if so, the prizes offered for competition may then be shot for. " I avail myself of this opportunity of alluding to a printed paper signed ' Hibernia, which has been placed in my h an d s . Whil e deprecating ano nymous effusions, there is a great deal in the paper alluded to that meets with my approval. "I have much fault to find with some of the offi cers for non-attendance, and most sincerely hope they wilt be__ more regular in their duties for the futurseu. per ly z the officers of companies do not person ally cop i ntend the drill and instruction of those they as efficient aen t , h tbey cannot expect their men to be "The non-e.tteY should be. members of the battalion following a bad example, There c is always one officer present, the Adjutant, r willing to instruct them they ought therefoyretahnt e e d attend.

" In conclusion, I have only to assure the officers, non-commissioned-officers, and effectives, that my constant care shall be to watch over the interests of the corp 3 by every means in my power, to promote its prosperity and efficiency, and thereby add fresh laurels to the wreath that has ever crowned the brows of our fellow-countrymen in arms, " By order, F. DAITBNEY, Adjutant." Last evening a numerously-attended meeting was held in the Good Samaritan Temperance-hall, Little Saffron-hill, for the purpose of forming a rifle corps to be composed of Temperance young men ; Mr. Lidstone in the chair. The Chairman said they had heard a great deal about invasion, but where was it to come from ? Not from France, so long as the Em peror Napoleon remained on the throne of France. Novertheless, he would advise them to be prepared, and rely upon themselves alone. In the Temperance Rifl e Corps they would elect their own officers, and would have no lash in prospective. He felt quite sure they could form a rifle corps that would be second to none in the kingdom. Mr. Smith next addressed the meeting, and contended that TEM perance men were eminently qualified for Riflemen. After addresses from other speakers, it was stated that the subscription was 3d. per week, and that the dress would be paid for by weekly instal ments. Several names having been enrolled, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. A spirited effort has recently been made in Lambeth and Bermondsey to form an Artillery Volunteer Corps, and already, though the attempt was set on foot so recently as the middle of Sep tember, 200 men have enrolled themselves as mem bers, about a third of whom are artisans, and the rest belong to the trading and professional classes. It is designated the Ist Surrey Volunteer Com pany, and has been called into existence princi pally by the example and the exertions of two gen tlemen, brothers, named Greatrex. Two full com panies have been embodied, and a third is in course of formation. For one company the necessary com plement of arms has been issued by the War De partment, and an order has been received from the same quarter authorising the issue of the requisite number for the 2d company. The corps is being enrolled with the direct sanction of the Earl of Lovelace, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county ; and the officers, so far as they have yet been appointed, are Mr. J. H. Greatrex, first lieute nant; Messrs. Pearse, Smith, Jalfon, and Ward, four other lieutenants ; Mr. William Batchelour, honorary surgeon ; and Mr. G. W. G reatrex, acting quartermaster and secretary. The head quarters of the , :;orps are in Union-place, Lambeth road, where one of the arches of the South-Western Railway tuts been enclosed, adapted, and lighted as a placel for drill, and the men are drilled by Ser gerAnt Edis, who has been upwards of 20 years in the Royal Artillery, on several nights in the week. They wear a handsome uniform, which has been approved by the Lord-Lieutenant, resembling that of the Royal Artillery, except in the facings, and costing nearly £B. Each man finds his own uni form, the artisan portion of them paying the cost by instalments. Last night the corps was enter tained at dinner, provided by the officers, at their head- quarters, the First Lieutenant acting as chair man, and a salute of 21 guns was fired on the occa sion from a battery in the immediate neighbour hood. The oath of allegiance was afterwards administered to the members by the corn uanding officer. On the 6th ult. the presentation to the 7th Sus sex Rifle Volunteers of a silver bugle, given by the ladies of the town and district of Horsham, and also the distribution of prizes won at the late shooting, consisting of several very handsome silver cups and rifles, took place on the grounds of Mr. T. Sanc tuary, where a strong muster of the corps, amount. ing to about 90 men, and a large number of the principal families of the town and neighbourhood, assembled at 2.30. The Hon. Mrs. Pipon was de puted by the lady donors to represent them on the occasion, and, in a suitable speech, placed in the hands of the commandant of the corps (Capt. Pipon) a very elegantly chased silver bugle. The captain having replied to the compliment, proceeded to the distribution of the several prizes. The Captain was the winner of the Challenge Cup, presented by Mr. H. Padwick ; Ensign Padwiek won the medal for the best company shooting ; Lieut. Broadwood, of the Crawley corps, Sir H. Pelly's cup, open to all comers; Private Holmes was the winner of two cups, presented by Capt. Pipon, for the best score in the third-class shooting, and the other by Mr. R. Brander, for the best score at 200 and 300 yards ; Privates Mitchell and Greenfield a rifle each. The 12th Sussex (Westbourne) Volunteer Rifles, who are making considerable progress in drill and target practice, have received during the last week upwards of 20 eligible recruits, most of whom are from the parish of Funtingdon, so that the company now numbers upwards of 60 effectives. Lieut.-Col. Ibbetson, Assistant-Inspector of Vo lunteers, reviewed the Sudbury Corps on Monday. The corps, which was under the command of Capt. Sir William Parker, executed several manoeuvres with much steadiness, and at the close of the re view Lieut.-Col. Ibbetson expressed his satisfaction with the proficiency and precision attained. A company, 50 strong, has been organised at Brandon. Lord William Powlett has been chosen captain, the Baron de Bliss first lieutenant, Mr. J. Gates second lieutenant, and Mr. D. Garner ensign. Major-General Angerstein has presented 150 to the funds of the corps, and Lord William Powlett has added a similar donation ; and the Baron de Bliss has promised the use of his park for drill, prac tice, Sze. The 2d (Whitehaven) and 7th (Workington), the Bth (Cockermouth), and the 10th (Egremont) Rifle Volunteers, forming the western portion of the Cumberland Rifle Volunteer Battalion, were inspected during the past week at their respective localities by Lieut,-Col. Wake, the commanding officer, who was accompanied by the adjutant, Major Fairtlough. The lieut.-col. expressed him self well satisfied with the state of efficiency of the several corps. The remaining corps of the bat talion will be inspected next week. The 3d Cumberland Volunteer Rifles, or Skiddaw Greys, after being inspected by Lieut.-Col. Wake (who spoke well of them), had a rifle shooting match at Keswick a few days ago. The first prize was won by Private C. 0. Wodehouse, who scored 20 ; the second by Private T. Litt, who scored 15 ; the third by Private T. Wise, , ffho scored 14; the fourth by Corporal J. Gate, who scored 13 ; the fifth by Private W. Messenger, - who scored 12; the sixth by Private J. Postlethwai te, who scored 12. The next three prizes were obt wined by Sergeant Jonathan Gibson, Private John. Milburn, and Pri vate John Crosthwaite, each of - whom scored 11. The first recruits' prize was wort by Private Ed ward Cliirk, who scored 7, and the second by Pri vate Edward Fisher, who scored, 4. The result of the rifle contest at Bristol on Tues day was, by inadvertence, ina ecurately stated in The Sun of yesterday. The r ifle given by Sir J. T. Davis was some time since si kit for by the Bris tol and the 2d Glocestershire VOlvinteer Rifle Corps, and was won by the former regiment. The com petition on Tuesday for this rillo was confined to members of the Bristol Volunteer Rifle Corps, of whom 58 entered the lists. Seri ;cant Baker, of No. 10 company, who scored 17 points out of the five shots each at ranges of 300, 500, and 600 yards, was the vietor. The i noney prizes were won by Captain Lighton, N. 5 company, 16 points ; Private G. Sebry, Nro. 6 company, 16 points ; Sergeant Criddle, No. 7 company, 14 points, who scored the ea me number as Sergeant Bingham and Privates Cottle, but hav ing made them with a greater - number of hits, was adjudged the prize. Tho fifth prize was divided between the two latter ~gentlemen, who made the same number of points and hits. The Whitworth rifle, won by Sergeant Hansom, of the Artillery Corps, was the result of a sweepstakes of a sovereign each, for which 35 meal hers entered. It was of the value of £26 ; and the money prizes, which fell to the lot of Sergeant F, It Geary and Sergeant Baker, were the produce.o f the balance of the entries. On Tuesday night the Ist Corps of Lancashire Volunteer Engineers was sworn in i at St. George's hail, which was densely crowded of i th e occasion. Eight companies in all were sworn t in, under the immediate comman d o f Captain-Cora .mandant New lamas, the b oroug h eng i neer, under 1 whose auspices the c orps has been chi e fly organis( ‘d. After the oath had b een administered Colon el Wilbraham, C. 8., add ressed the it men, d o u i n n ior gso m. he ex pressedle his partiality for andth in the l f said his own feelings were in favo u: r of red for the whole Volunte er f orce; as in 1804. , He considered that a great deal too much .had been said about making our soldiers i • • ' nvis: Lble. No doubt, it was desirable that skirmishers s heuld be hidden from the enemy to some ,exteat, but ' • skirmishers formed a eery small portion of ti .00 ps in po s iti on , and, as General Sir George Weth , wall had sa id to , the Derby Volunteers, if ever th( sir services were required it would be shs troops in p osition. - tx —e had a !great belief in the wholesome efi lei', the sight of im nposing masses of red coats woule 1 ha ve upon any invading force; i And, if that force din' come near enough to distinguish between the Volunteers and the Line, he hoped they would find to their cost, that it was, as the old proverb had it, a distinction without a difference. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the un fortunate men who were killed by the recent acci dent on the Trent Valley Line was resumed by Mr. Alfred Carter, coroner, and the jury empannelled, at the Corn Exchange, Atherstone, yesterday morning. There were present, as on the former occasion, the Marquis of Stafford, a director of the company ; Mr. Cawkwell, ;traffic manager ; Mr. Motteram, barrister, of the Oxford Circuit, for friends of some of the deceased ; Mr. Cleather, solicitor ; Mr. D. Parsons, goods manager ; and Mr. Grew, district superintendent. Mr. Ormandy, manager of the cattle traffic (from Liverpool), was also in attend ance, together with Mr. M'Connell, superintendent of the locomotive department. Mr. Dudley Baxter again appeared for the friends of 'certain of the:deceased men, and also Mr. 0 verell, solicitor, of Leamington ; Mr. Gibson, of Dublin ; and Mr. L. Warren. The first witness examined was— Jonathan Jackson, who deposed—l am in the em ploy of the London and North-Western Railway, Company, as breaksman. I have been so employed for the last five years past. On Tuesday night last I joined at Chester a cattle train at 9 5 p.m. I stopped first at Crewe for water and coke. The train consisted of 23 waggons of cattle, break van and drovers' van, the drovers' van being before the break van ; the break van was at the extreme end of the train. I don't know how many were in the drovers' van; I knew only one of them, John Mac donald. I remained at Crewe about 20 minutes. I was directed, on leaving Crewe, to go on to Staf ford, after picking up a few more goods trucks ; the shunter gave me orders to go on. We left Stafford at 12.18 a.m. on Friday morning, having arrived here at 12 o'clock ; we then went to Tam orth, where we stopped to take in water ; having done so, the inspector (Moorcroft) gave us orders to proceed. We were delayed at Tamworth 10 mi nutes:to take in water. We left at 1.35 p.m. The rails were rather slippery after we left Stafford, but I heard nothing said about it at Stafford ; the sig nal to start the train at Tamworth was received from Moorcroft. As I passed, I said, " Are we to go on ?" He said, "Go on to Nuneaton, out of the road." By a Juryman—We had about 22 minutes to'get to Nuneaton before the mail was due. Witness proceede—After leaving Tamworth we slipped about a good bit. I should think for a couple of miles. After that the engine ran as usual. The signals were all right for us to pass on reach ing Atherstone. I mean the station signal was all right. I observed no light in the auxiliary signal, but I was not looking out for it. The main one showed a white light. We ran though the station, and then the driver pulled up the train for the purpose of shunting. I applied my break after passing the points. The signal was given for us to come back and shunt, but before we had left the main line the limited mail came round the curve into collision. I could not see whether the danger signal was up. I jumped on to the six-feet rails; before I could pick myself up I heard the crash. I got up as soon as possible, and scrambled over the fragments to the engineman, who said we had better block the down line. Another mail was shortly due. I helped to move the waggons to libe rate the sufferers. I am generally breaksman to the cattle trains in the winter time. The cattle trains do not start at any particular time ; they are special trains. By a Juryman—l am not aware that they travel at any particular speed. By the Foreman—l can't say what the genera; speed is, because we try to get on as soon as we can. The engine was not overloaded. By the Coroner--The time of the departure of the cattle trains depend on the arrival of the boat. By a Juryman—lf we are getting on'too slow it is my duty to ask the cause. I was so confused I never noticed the time it took to get from Tam worth to Athcrstone. There was no unusual delay at Tamworth. We were in motion at the time of the collision. It would, perhaps, take three minutes from the time of being in motion to getting com pletely on to the siding. By Mr. Baxter—None of the cattle were taken out Tamworth, nor did a bullock run out upon the line. Witness—Sometimes it takes five or six hours to get from Chester to Rugby, sometimes three or four; it depends on the time of the delays. I don't know what trains were behind or before us on this occa sion. The rules (produced) give no directions as to the speed of the special trains, or where to stop. There are no rules to that effect. When I left Tamworth the limited mail was due in 22 minr,tes. It would take from 30 to 3-5 minutes to get from Tamworth to Nuneaton with a train such as the cattle train. I can't say how long the delay would be in consequence of the slipping. It is about 13 miles from Tamworth to Nuneaton. It was not my business to below at what time the limited mail reached Nuneaton. It was my business to know, at what time it reached Tamworth. The limited mail does not stop at Nuneaton. I had orders to pro ceed to Nuneaton whether the limited mail over took us or not. Those orders were given verbally by Moorcroft. I lost my time-book in the collision, so that I could not tell at what time the limited mail passed Nuneaton or Atherstone. We have time-tables which sometimes denote the time at which trains leave stations, whether they stop or not ; the time-table I had only told the time they had stopped. I might have taken 20 minutes to run from Tamworth to Atherstone on the night of the accident ; the distance be ing seven miles. The mail train, the inspector said, was due in 22 minutes; I can't say the mail train was two minutes in advance when the accident occurred. I had nay watch, but I was too confused to look at it ; it took 20 minutes as near as I can guess. [A return of the time at which the goods train passed the different stations made by the witness was here produced. The witness allowed 40 minutes to get from Tamworth to Atherstone in this return.] It sometimes takes 40 minutes, sometimes 20 ;it depends on the weather. I can't say whether it took 20 or 40 minutes on Friday morning. I have to ask the engineman how much the engine will take. I did not ask him on this occasion. When we take on extra trucks at Crewe we have an additional engine to assist us to get up the bank at Whatmore. I believe I could see the auxiliary signal three-quarters of a mile before I reached it. It is my business to look for the auxi liary signal, but I did not see it. I coul_d see the main signal half a mile before reaching it ; it was a white signal. I applied the break when I found the engineman slackening speed. I can't say how long it would take to go from Atherstone to Nuneaton. The train is in my charge. We are told by the inspec tors on duty at the stations where to shunt. The discretion with regard to shunting lies between the engine driver and the inspector. We had a more powerful engine to Stafford than we had after we left. We changed engines at Stafford. With reference to the cattle trains we act in accordance with the instructions given at the stations at which we stop. The book I lost would not tell whether it took 20 minutes or 40 minutes to get from Tam worth to Atherstone. The return (produced) is a correct copy of what appeared in the book, so far as I can guess. I made up the return on Saturday, after the collision, from my recollection of the en tries in the book. Henry Meakin deposed—l have charge of the auxiliary and main signals at Atherstone station, as gatesnian and signalman. I was on duty there on Friday morning last. I went on duty at 6 p.m. Thursday, when I examined the state of both the signals ; they were lighted. The auxiliary signal is lighted by oil, the main by gas. I did not look to see whether there was a supply of oil at the auxiliary signal, becau se it i s no t my p l ace t o t r i m them. The signals were in working order when I examined them. It is the duty of Evans, the por ter, to attend to the light in the auxiliary signal. It was the duty of Woodward, the gateman, to look after the light at the main signal. I signalled the different trains as they came up. The last I sig nalled before the cattle train arrived. I can't ex actly say at what time. I noticed the ca ttl e t ra i n approaching at 5 or 6 minutes after 2 o'clock, at a distance of about 800 yards; as soon as th e eng i ne and tender passed the auxiliary signal I put on the danger (red) light. Up to that time white lights were at both of the signals. As soon as the engine got opposite me I heard the driver say something which I could not catch; I then put down my hand lamp, and the main signal on to danger. When the train had run through the station I said to the pointsman, " Tho mail's coming ;" he replied, " They are going to shunt" (meaning the cattle train). I heard the mail train coming; I waved my white light to the pointsman, and said, " All right, the line is blocked." The mail then appeared in sight, about five minutes after the cattle train had passed ; the pointsman was more than 100 yards off when I spoke to him. About five minutes elapsed between the time I heard the mail train and saw it. The mail train passed the auxiliary signal with the steam on. I then passed to the up-line and waved my lamp with a red light. The steam was on till the train was within about 20 yards. If he had reversed the engine the steam would be off. When he passed me I shouted to the driver of the mail, " You'll be into them! " He appeared not to notice me. He was going when he I passed me at the ordinary speed, I should think— 40 or 45 miles an hoar. The collision then took place. I received verbal notice soon after I went on duty that a cattle train would leave Stafford at 11.30. After the collision I stood on the crossing till the pointsman came down to me and said, "The mail's run into them—full speed!" I said, " Has anyone gone to block the down line ?" He replied in the affirmative. I went and blocked the up line at Merivale-crossing, and the pointsman went for assistance. I passed the auxiliary signal on my way, and the danger signal was on then. I called up Stevens, the policeman at Merivale-crossing, and told him to stop all trains up ; at W hitlington crossing, to which I then proceeded, I also called up the policeman and put on the danger signal. I then returned to my post at the station. By Mr. Gibson—We generally reckon the limited mail would pass us at 2 10 a.m. ; it was therefore accurate in point of time. It was not my duty to put on the danger signal because the mail train was due five minutes after the cattle train passed. The driver of the mail train might see the auxiliary signal half a mile More he reached it; if he had applied the break at that distance the speed at which the train was going when it passed me would not have been so great. By Mr. Baxter—l can't say I have ever known the mail train so close upon another train before. By the Foreman—The main signal is, I should think, as high again as the auxiliary one ; the main signal could be seen two miles off. By the Coroner—The driver of the mail would see the main signal if it were turned on a long way before he would see the auxiliary. By a Juryman—The auxiliary is to protect the station when trains are in. By Mr. Gibson—The driver of the mail train might have stopped the train altogether, if ho had seen the signal at the distance of two miles, which he might have done, for it was a clear night. By Mr. Cleather--I was in court when the en gine-driver gave his evidence on Saturday. I could not tell whether he had the steam on at full speed when he passed me. He had at about 20 yards' distance. Mr. O'Connell here explained that if the engine was reversed the steam would not be turned off, but would be used to propel the engine in the op posite direction. Witness examined by Mr. Cleather—The main signal could be seen at two miles distance on the line. I have never had the opportunity of seeing it at that distance from an engine or any similar ele vation. Thomas Stevens gave evidence as to his being called up on Friday morning by the last witness. He :saw the auxiliary signal turned on red, and also the main signal. By Mr. Cleather—The auxiliary signal was on when I went to bed, at nine o'clock ; Meaken never told me it had gone out. Richard Evans deposed that he attended to the lamp of the auxiliary signal, to see it was properly supplied with oil and to light it. He trimmed it between 10 and 11 on Thursday morning last. He filled it with oil. By a Juryman—lt was supplied to burn for 18 or 24 hours. Thomas Jenkins said—l am pointsman at the Atherstone station of the London and North- Western Railway ; I was on duty on Friday morn ing last; about five orsix minutes past two the cattle train arrived from the north ; after it passed the sig nals at the north end of the station the driver sounded his whistle to tell me, as I understood, that he in tended to shunt ; I looked at my watch and saw the limited mail was due in four or five minutes. I showed my white light to the driver, by way of let ting him know that I understood what he intended to do; when the train had passed me I walked down between the two main lines. I heard Meakin at the north end say " The mail is coming." I re plied, "They (the cattle train) are going to shunt." He showed ma the white light to inform me the line was blocked and right for shunting. I did not hear him say anything to me when he did so. I then followed the cattle train till we got to the points. I could then hear the limited mail coming. I sig nalled the driver of the cattle train onto the siding. I believe the cattle train was stationary at the time; the driver began to.put back slowly; he could not do so last at first. I listened for the limited mail to whistle, but he did not. I thought it strange, as I heard him coming at what seemed to be full speed, and as I saw Meakin had put on the red light at the main signal before I left the station. I heard him coming at what seemed full speed through the station. I felt frightened, and I left my points. When about 100 or 130 yards off me I noticed sparks proceeding from the funnel of the engine, as if it were in lull speed. I then waved my hand light (red) backwards and forwards. He gave me no in timation that he saw me. I then turned on my white light to see how to run out of the way. By the Foreman—l have frequently heard the limited mail whistle on previous occasions on pass ing through the station. It depends on the way of the wind. At the time of the collision it was N. W. by W. Richard Pratt deposed—l am a porter in the em ploy of the London and North-Western Railway at the Atherstone station. On Thursday evening last I received notice that a special cattle train would leave Crewe at 11 30. The notice was brought by a guard, and stated that the cattle train in question would pass Atherstone about 11 47. I received it from the guard of the train which reached Ather stone at 550 p.m. I gave the notice to the police man Henry Meakin between 6 and 7 o'clock, when I went off duty. William Moorcroft deposed—l am foreman and night stationmaster in the employment of the Lon don and North-Western Railway Company at Ta m worth. lam on duty every alt ernate week. I was on duty in that capacity on Th ursday night. When I came on duty at 7 o'clock If( mud a written notice in the office to the effect that.% special cattle train would pass on the up line from Crewe, which might be expected to pass Tamworth. at 128 a.m. The train arrived at 1 20. When It arrived the engine was detached from the train anAl took in water ; this occupied about 10 minutes, the train leaving at 1 30. I noticed the time by Vac clock, and I made a memorandum of the time when the train left directly I got into the office. I: spoke to the breaks man just after the train stopped, and asked him how they had been coming from Stafford, meaning whe ther they had been running well or not. He said they had been coming very we 11. I.said, "Then you have come within the hour.. You will be able to get on to Nuneation." I the n went into the telegraph office to see if there was any notice of the limited mail. I found it had not been reported. I then went to the engine -driver, who had returned to his train. While I was going I heard the points man saying something about 'whether he would be able to get on, and he replied, ." Get on ! Aye," or words to that effect. I then asked the engine driver what sort of a train he: - was in, and he re plied, " Oh ! all right." By a Juryman—He:did not tell me;he had been slipping. It was a very dry might. . Witness continued—l said, You will be able to get on to Nuneaton, as you have 26 minutes' good start before the limited mail is in here." Before the started the fireman went and got a shovelful of sand. By a jury man—Every engine should travel with sand,l should say at all seasons of the year whether slippery or not. Witness proceeded—l called. out to the breaks. man as he passed me, " Make 'haste and get out of the way to Nuneaton." I have the sole manage ment of the starting of the trains when lam on duty at night. The driver said nothing to me about the slippery state of the mils, nor the breaks man either. All trains stop at Tamworth at night, excepting the Irish mail. N , Dthing was said by the servants employed, or either of them, about the slippery state .Df the rails. It was a bright starlight night. The limited mail was telegraphed to Tamworth as having left Stafford at 1.23. It arrived. at Tamworth at 1.55, and left 1.57 ; the right time for the limited mail to leave Tamworth is 1.56. I did not tell the driver of the limited mail that there was a cattle train before him, or the guard: I did not think it was requisite. The cattle train left 27 minutes before the limited mail ; the cattle train had 45 minutes to get to Nuneaton befor e the limited wail would be due; the mail was allowed 40 minutes to run to Rugby from Tamworth. It is 13 miles from Tamworth to Nuneaton. The instructions received were that in the event of a luggage train being in advance of the mail, the latter was to be allowed to proceed if there were 45 minutes for it to get to Rugby. _ _ _ Motteram—lt is my duty to order the trains to shunt if I think there is not sufficient time for them to get out of the way. I gave no instruc tions to the driver of the cattle train to shunt any where else but at Nuneaton. I estimated that the cattle train might get on to the siding at Nuneaton in 40 minutes, from the rate at which the train had been running from Stafford. I allowed the cattle train 45 minutes to get to Nuneaton. It would take the mail train 19 minutes to get to Nuneaton. I did not detain the cattle train at Tamworth because there was time to go on. By Mr. Warren—lf the driver of the mail train has stated I had some conversation with him about the slippery state of the rails, it is untrue. If the breaksman has sworn that I never spoke to him until the train was in motion, that is untrue. I saw the breaksman first in the porter's lodge. B y Mr. Motteram—The express fast goods train arrives at Tamworth at 1.20, and reaches Nuneaton at 2. The cattle trains are also fast trains, and would be as likely to get over the distance in 40 minutes as the express fast goods train. The inquiry was then further adjourned till Thursday. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. " SECRET LITERATURE OF ORANGEISM." Under this heading the Northern Whig analyzes a'curions document which appears to have obtained a " select" circulation in, that town, which is dig nified (although no one can tell why) with the title of the " Irish Athens''—l mean Belfast. The Whig says:— " A handbill has been placed in our hands pur porting to be an address To the erangemen of Ireland.' The address (which bears date ' Sandy row, September:2o, IMO,' and is signed ' A Mem ber of Gwynn's True Blues No. 728, and No Sur render') is printed on purple paper in golden ink, and surmounted by an equestrian statue of Wil liam 111. If reproduced at full length, it would probably occupy a column of the Whzg. We can employ our space to better purpose than in reprint ing it; but in view of the recent outrage at the Music-hall, with which it is possibly connected, a short analysis of its contents may be desirable. The address opens with an exhortation to all true Orangemen and Bible loving Protestants to prepare for action,' and suggests that ' district,' OT if pos sible county meetings of the Loyal Orangemen,. and every true-hearted Protestant who wishes to unite, should assemble immediately, not in hundreds, but in thousands, in every district and in every county (by all means without banners and music), and thus far obey Tuscan law, yes, worse than Tuscan law, which would commit a man for trial at the next assizes for no other reason than watching a procession passing by.' The object of these proposed gatherings is not clearly defined, but it seems to be to tell the Govern ment, fearlessly and firmly, that the fatherless Emblems' Act, which has just been smuggled through an unfaithful House of Commons, is a dis grace to the name of British statemen and a British Parliament. "The following passage will give some idea of the temper and language of the address : " Let us tell our beloved Queen, in respectful terms, that she, as a Protestant Sovereign, cannot stand justified before a Protestant nation should she be advised by her present Ministers to sign her name to such a Popish-pleasing, unconstitutional measure. The man that dare propose such a thing, let him be banished as a traitor and an enemy to the Crown and Protestant Constitution. Let us tell our Sovereign Lady, in the words of an old un flinching Protestant, Dr. Drew—removed from among us by the serpent-like beguilings of an anti- Protestant, Orange-insulting Bishop, when his good counsel is much wanted—let us, then, in his words, respectfully say, " Hear, 0 Queen of yet mighty England; hear, 0 Monarch of a Protestant and much honoured line; behold the increasing concessions made to Popery by successive Parlia ments, and know that these must end in woe to a Protestant nation." " After prophesying a time when, if she squander away the last remnant of Protestantism, filthy Rome' will displace her, and her posterity be driven from their present palaces to beg their bread, if they escape the fetters and tortures of a merciless inquisition,' the writer goes on to denounce the existing Government, as aiming at ' nothing short of a Popish monarchy,' on the ground that 'seven Popish judges disgrace the Irish bench, when Pro testant gentlemen of superior talents are left with- out either place or pension.' " The reference which will be noticed in the preceding extracts to the beguilings of an anti- Protestant, Orange-insulting bishop,' is repeated in a subsequent exhortation to Orangemen ' not to be discouraged by the conduct of Protestant-deceiving Orange-insulting bishops, nor Popish-insulting judges ;' to heed not, nor fear such men. . . . men who would stoop from such exalted positions to do any dirty work their employers might want done.' A significant sentence follows Our re spected Vicar and the Rev. Mr. Potter have done tioir part faithfully, and may they long be spared as faithful Protestant watchmen to fight manfully the battles of the Lord, and cry No peace with filthy Rome, _ fearing no man, however exalted his station.' While recommending his fellow-Orange men to assemble peaceably and orderly,' the writer of the address exhorts them to stand ready and if it must come to that, to march to the banks of the ever-memorable Boyne, and there plant the standard of Orange once more, and repeat the deed of our conquering forefathers.' We understand that this inflammatory document has during the last few weeks been extensively circulated among the Orangemen of this town and district. If this be the case, the late outbreak at the Music-hall is not a matter of surprise. The references to the Bishop of the diocess, and these to Dr. Miller and Mr Potter, were a fitting preparation for the disgraceful scene which has now formed a theme of comment through out the kingdom. Whether they were designed to prepare for it is a question of probabilities which may be left to our readers to decide. The intellec tual and moral qualities displayed in the above ad dress are just what we should expect to find iu the parties to that affair." EVICTION OF LORD PLUNRET'S TENANTRY. The following paragraph appears in the Evening Post of last night : " BALLINROBE, Nov, 19.—0 n Wednesday next the eviction of Lord Plunket's tenantry is to take place. A large police force (over 100 men) is to assemble in the district, also several horse police. There is much irritation and excitement among the wretched people who, at this inclement season, are to be evicted from their houses by the Lord Bishop of Tuam." In reference to the above the Freeman's Journal states : " A correspondent informs us that no less than 14 men were yesterday hired at the corner of Church-street and despatched by train at once to do the work of demolishers. We must candidly confess that we do not credit this statement ; and we are inclined to think our correspondent is him self, or is endeavouring to make us, the victim of a hoax." THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22. 1860. TIIE CLARE MURDER. The Clare Journal says : " There are nine persons now under lock and key in reference to the murder of Mr. Sheehy. The ploughman has not eaten anything since Thursday morning, declaring he will put' an end to his life by starvation." ANOTHER IRISH BRIGADE. The following suggestive announcement appears in the Morning News : " It will be seen by an advertisement which we publish to-day from the major commanding the Irish battalion, that all officers and non-commis sioned officers of that body are requested forth with to report themselves in writing to him. Our gallant and distinguished countryman was in Dublin yes terday, and one cf his first visits on reaching town was to see two soldiers of the battalion now lying in St. Vincent's Hospital, not yet recovered from their wounds and the effects of Piedmontese prisons. The sight of 11Iajor O'Reilly had a touching effect on the poor fellows, who seemed deeply moved at this evidence of his genuine interest in his men. He remained some time with them, chatting over the events of the campaign, and on coming away received their warmest expressions of gratitude. We may mention that Major O'Reilly met yester day, by appointment, several of the gentlemen who acted on behalf of the Brigade at its first formation, and was engaged with them for some time in refer ence to the affairs of the battalion. We are sin cerely happy to state that our gallant countryman is in the best health and spirits." Subjoined is the advertisement referred to in the foregoing " Pontifical Battalion of St. Patrick—Officers and non-commissioned officers of St. Patrick's Battalion are requested to communicate by letter (giving their address) with Major O'Reilly, Knockingin, Bal briggan, Ireland." In a long letter headed "Anglican Interme,ddling" the News labours to prove that certain agents of the Ultramontane faction in England are busy at Paris intriguing against the national character of the Irish Brigade ; in other words, endeavouring to have the body officered by Englishmen, in case it should be again called into existence, the proba bility of which contingency is more than hinted at. The News says : " We know that an urgent desire exists on the part of the Minister of Arms in Rome to have a large body of Irish troops. We know that—under influences which, with due respect, we believe to be, in this case at any rate, inju rious (in effect) to the interests of the Holy Father, he has manifested an objection to recogniiing the nationality of a brigade composed of Irish men. We have the best authority for stating the fact. We know that those English gentle men whose valour ambitioned the officering of mere Irishmen, but was not equal to the pinch of joining the brave Guides, have the desire and the pecuniary means of turning the generous enthu siasm of our people for the Holy Father to their own account in this way. We know that should Irishmen be induced to proceed to Rome under such auspices, and, finding themselves made mere implements of, fall into irregularities or miscon duct, all the odium and reproach would be cast on the name of Ireland—cast on us by the very per sons who lured our men to Italy without the assent of their natural guales, and without undertaking or guarantee as to their treatment or position, in dividual or collective." Waterford has done the thing handsomely by the Brigade, as appears by the following letter from Dr. Cullen to the Mayor of the Urbs intacta Dublin, Nov. 17. "My dear Mr. Mayor,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter enclosing a bill on the National Bank for £230, subscribed by the citizens of Waterford to the Irish Brigade fund. I shall hand the amount to the committee, and I am con fident that all will unite in awarding the highest praises to the generosity of the contributors. As to any arrangements you may have made in Water ford, undoubtedly the committee will approve them, as their only anxiety is to do honour to the Brigade, our brave countrymen who fought in de fence of justice and truth, of God and religion, against anarchy, sedition, perfidy, public robbery, and scandalous infidelity. Everything that we do to promote their interest is a declaration that we syminthise with the cause for which they fought, and that our feelings are with the Pope, and with the cause of God and the Church, which he so worthily represents. " Wishing you every happiness, I have the honour to be, with the greatest esteem, your obe dient servant, " t PAUL CULLEN. " To the Mayor of Waterford." LANDED ESTATES COURT. Judge Longfield yesterday disposed of certain estates in the county of Mayo, the owners and pe titioners being Messrs. J. W. Burmestei:, William Corry, and J. A. Durham. The total produce of the loth sold is £33,310. The owners and petitioners are trustees of the London and County Bank, the creditors of the late John Sadleir. Mr. V. Dillon purchaLled the greater portion in trust for Mr. Denis O'Connor, of Mount Druid, county of Ros common. THE IRISH BRIGADE. It appears from a letter in the Limerick, Reporter of last night that a grand banquet is to be given to the Limerick, Glare, and Tipperary contingents of the late Irish Brigade, on Monday evening, Dec. 3, in the theatre of that city, and that General Lame riciere, Major O'Reilly, Cardinal Wiseman, and Archbishop Cullen will attend. Preparations on an extensive scale, it is said, are being made for the event, which is expected to come off with unusual eclat, POLICE INTELLIGENCE--Nov. 21. BOW-STREET.—An elderly woman, named Bridget Kennedy, who has been several times com mitted for offences against the Excise laws, ap peared before Mr. Corrie, to answer a summons charging her with removing, or being concerned in removing, two gallons and one quart of illicit spirits. The case for the prosecution was conducted by Mr. Dwelly, and Mr. Beard appeared for the de fendant, who pleaded not guilty. An Excise officer, named Pargiter, deposed—On the 22d September, in consequence of information I had received, I went to the chief office of the Parcels Delivery Company, in Fetter-lane, where this box was shown to me. (The witness produced a small deal box, wrapped in coarse canvas.) I opened the box and found in it a tin case and a bladder, both full of spirits. I saw it packed up again, and directed that it should be forwarded to its destination. I saw it placed in a cart. It was addressed to " Mr. Kennedy, 2, Angel and Porter-court, Golden-lane, Barbican." I went with another officer, to Golden-lane, where I awaited the arrival of the Parcels Delivery Company's cart. When it drove up, the man in charge of it alighted, and taking the box out of the cart, went up Angel and Porter-court to the house No. 2, where the de -1 fendant lives. I have known her for years, and during nearly the whole of that time she has occu pied the same room on the ground-floor of that house. I followed the man up the court and con cealed myself behind a projection of the building. The man called out "Is the name Kennedy here ?" The defendant, whose voice I at once recognised, replied " Yes, all right." He said, " I have a parcel for the name of Kennedy." She again said it was " all right." The man then said, "Let me see, is it paid ?" Mrs. Kennedy said " Yes," took the box, and carried it to her own room. I followed her into the room, where I saw her daughter, Mrs. Tatham. There was also in the room another woman whom I did not know. I asked Mrs. Ken nedy what she had there. She dropped the box on the floor and said, " I don't know what it is." She knew me perfectly well. I said " You have spirits there. Have you any permit or certificate for it ?" She again said, " I don't know what it is." The daughter said "It must be a plot." I said, "It cannot be much of a plot, when you have been re ceiving it for the last six weeks, and we have this morning taken the still where it was made." She made no reply. I seized the box and found that it contained two gallons of spirits in the tin case and one quart in the bladder. They were of illicit manu facture, such as is only made in private stills, and were 12 over proof. The woman whom I did not know had with her two wine bottles, which are called "reputed quarts," holding about a pint and a half each. She had lately been "in trouble" for an offence against the Excise laws, and came out of prison in July. She is a widow, and there is no Mr. Kennedy. The portion of Mr. Pargiter's evidence relating to the delivery of the parcel was corroborated by George Peterkin, the driver of the Parcels Deli very Company's cart. A boy named Alfred Sparrel, conductor of one of the Parcels Delivery Company's carts, deposed —I know that box. I have delivered it about half a dozen times at Mrs. Kennedy's, in Angel and Porter-court. I sometimes gave it to defen dant herself, and sometimes left it for her with the woman at the next house. Cross-examined—lt was a box like that. There is not any mark by which I know it again. Edward Smith—l am a bootmaker, and live at Itopemaker's walk, Limehouse. I formerly lived at Hope-terrace, where I kept a branch office of the London Parcels Delivery Company. I used to re ceive parcels to be forwarded by the carts. I know that box. I have had it left at least a dozen times at my place in July and September. It was al ways left by the same man, and always directed to the same address, "Mr. Kennedy, 2, Angel and Por ter-court." I am sure it is the same box, as I often examined it particularly. I noticed the smell, which was very peculiar. When I shook it there was a splashing sound, showing that it contained some liquid. , 1 Mr. Beard contended that, though the defen -1 (lanes antecedents were such as might lead the Excise to keep a sharp eye on her, and though the facts of the present case were suspicious, there was no evidence to show that she knew the nature of I the contents of the box, which was not directed to her, but to " Mr," Kennedy. Mr. Corrie said that Mr. Beard had exhibited great ingenuity in rising and arguing the point, and there might be some doubt if the previous facts alluded to oily applied as showing her antece dents. But the evidence of the boy showed that he bad frequently delivered to her this box, or one like it; and there was no doubt that it was the same. When this fact was taken in connexion with the evidence of Mr. Smith, who was quite sure that the box so often booked at his office was the same now produced — when he took this circumstance, in connexion with the fact that she evidently knew the parcel was in tended for her, he was satisfied that the case w as made out beyond the possibility of reasonable doubt, and he should convict her of the offence. Mr. D welly pressed for the full penalty, as ehe had se frequently offended before. She was accordingly fined in the full penalty of £lOO. --- WESTMINSTER.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SKITTLE SHARPING.—Just before the rising of the court, two men named Gibbons and Thompson, were brought before Mr. Paynter, charged with defrauding a young man of £23 by skittle-sharping. Nathaniel Parsons, a young man between 25 and 30 years of age, said he had formerly been a ship's steward, and now lived at 3, W oron o z ,c o l w o - c r k oa i d n , t S h t e . John's-wood. On the 27 th of Oc tober he was walk ing along Parliament-street, at 11 morning, when he was accosted by a man, who en tered into conversat ion with h im , and asked himt o have a glass of ale. Re at first refused, but on being pressed, accompanied the man to a public house in Parliament-street. while there, another man, who seemed a stranger to prosecutor's com panion, came in, and after having something to drink, asked them if they had seen a lady there, better r a r s c h _ e They replied etween the two men in the negative, w h o m he described. an w ar ast g h u e m be e say ing he could hit a m ar k 10 shoe, the t e h s e o s u e t c second a a L a ci t to h w e h n o I m 2, an atso paces, and the other b • ettmg against his doing so. They then agreed to repairumpire; he did so, and all went to a publichouse in Orchard -street, Westminster. The men seemed very much surprised at there being no shooting gallery there ; but meeting the two pri soners, ,apparently er stran g s to them, all four had several games of skittles, and some pounds changed hands. Gibbons then asked prosecutor to play, tell ing him he . would be certain to win as much again as he staked • ,they were to put down £3 each, and not having the money, prosecutor went with Gibbons and pawned his watch and .chain for £2 15 5.) making up £3 from his pocket.. All but the prisoner Thompson staked £3 each, Thompson holding the money, and prosecutor lost. Mr. Paynter inquired whether he was drunk at the time. Prosecutor replied he was not, but he just took a couple of sips from some ale prisoners asked him to drink, which tasted very bitter and singular. After he had lost his £3, prisoners said he could not afford that, and had better get some more and win it back He said he could not afford to lose so much, as he had been paid off some time ago, and had been at home ill, the sea air not agreeing with him. Mr. Paynter—Nor that on land either seemingly. Prosecutor continued—They learnt from his con versation that he had £2O at home, and proposed that he should fetch it. Thompson accordingly went with him, and they brought the £2O back to the public-house. Gibbons had a number of notes and staked these against prosecutor's £2O in the hands of Thompson, the bet being that prosecutor did not knock the nine pins down in 10 times. He knocked them down in about four times, and of course won the money, but the prisoners then said that he was to have knocked the skittles down in three times, and had lost. Mr. Paynter—Then you did not recover your £2O ? Prosecutor—No, your worship. Mr. Paynter—What followed ? Prosecutor—Prisoners and their companions said they had better go. Gibbons accompanied me out to the corner of the street, and then said to me " Run down there as fast as you can." Mr. Payn ter—What were you to run for? Prosecutor—That's what I want to know; but they had worked upon my nerves in some way. Mr. Paynter—So it seems. Prosecutor—lt struck me then that there was something wrong. I went back to the house to see if the others were there, but some one pulled me down some stairs and bolted a door upon me while they escaped, and I did not see them again till to day. Mr. Paynter—Have you ever read the news papers ? - Prosecutor—Not often, sir. Mr. Paynter—Then I would advise you to for the future, as you will then know a good deal more than you seem to know. Sergeant William Hornsley, 14 F, said he was on duty in Drury-lane at 12 that day, when he saw the prisoners and two others pass him, and prose cutor said that they had robbed him of £23. He followed them into Russell-square, and should have taken them, but could not get assistance. At last Wm. Fish, 331 A, seized them, but one struck him, and all but Gibbons (who also resisted) escaped, and witness took Thompson. On searching Gibbons, he was wearing a sham massive gold chain, and he found upon him some false notes, which were com monly used in these transactions ; one purporting to be a £5 note, drawn upon the Commercial Bank ing Company of Sidney, New South Wales ; ano ther, a £lO note, on the Royal Bank of Australia, Hobart Town ; and :the third, which at first sight appeared to be a good note, turned out to be as follows : £lO Bank of Engraving. £lO I propose to engrave and print in letter-press and copper-plate cards, bills, circulars, &c., in the first style of elegance, with the greatest accuracy and despatch, or forfeit the sum of £lO. 1831, April 29. For SELF and Co. £lO. The note in other respects resembled a good one. If a remand were granted he thought he should apprehend the others. Prisoners were remanded for a week. COUNTRY MARKETS.
