The reserve of notes has been augmented by over a million sterling, while there is an addition to the stock of bullion by the receipt of silver from the Rank of France, amounting to about £336,000.

A t"ourable effect is produced by the Bank return, 4 ntd the increased easiness of money, but the up ` Y, kl4 tendency is checked by the exchange of li Peetie to America.

An official document just published gives the following details for the year 1859 :—The exporta tion of silks of all kinds. including ribbons, tulle, fjinges, and embroidery, amounted to the enormous figure of 499,888,855 f., or 121,290,162 f. more than in 1858. The importation of silks of all kinds Was only 6,705,478 f., a decline of 1,453,053 f. corn- Pared with 1858, and one of 3,672,594 f., compared with an average of five years. The exportation of fabrics of all kinds, wool , cotton, flax, or hemp Was 764 w as two-thirds The exp ort of silks conse quently two-thirds of that total. The exports productions u in cti , ps was, in from Franc e of all natural and manufactured " actual value , " 2,266,000,000 E, official value," 1,998,000,000 E It follows that the export of silks was very ne arl y one-fourth of all the exports united. On analysing the afore said_ sum of nearly 500,000,000 f. of silk e x p orts we find that pure plain silk fabrics are put down in "actual value" for 201,217,200 f. ; ornamented silks for 66,152,457 f. ; ribbons, 1 3 6 ,7 89 , 084 f. ; tulle, 9 ,943,650 f. ; crape, 2,650,760 f. ; goods of silk mixed with other materials, 41,648,106 f. ; printed hand kerchiefs, 6,996,220 1'. The countries to which the largest exports of French silks were made were England, 163,293,406 f.; the United States, 136 ,871,111 f. ; the Zollverein, 49,337,001 f.; Bel tura, 36,689,837 f. ; Spain, 17,956,422 f. ; Sardinian tates, 11,237,7391'.; Switzerland, 7,993, 101 E ; ~ urk e —, y 7 6238,235 f. ; and the Roman States, 612,827 f. It is probable that part of the ex- Parts put down for England were really destined fo r America. The usage is for the Board of Customs to regard at the " country of destinatio n " that to 'Lich vessels making exports proceed ; but a large by of silk goods intended for Am erica is sent Y vessels which put in at English ports, and the isequence iithat though England appears to be t he best market for French silks, the United States are so really. It must be remarked that the exports ... 11 f. 8 00,000,000fr. of silk g oods do not constitute the ^nole of the production of the silk trade, as the internal consumption must also be taken into renunt. This cannot be est imated at less than a rth of the exports, or , acc ordin g to some autho rities, a third. A sum therefore of 150,000,000 fr. Ill ast be a dded to the 500,000,000 fr. The produc tion of silk goods of al l kinds ma y therefore be set -- "n for 1859 at 650,000,000 fr. IKIND AND WEATHER REPORT.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius, after Term, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) KEMPE V. NEVILLE. This case was resumed this morning. Mr. Edwin James having replied on the part of the plaintiff, The Lord Chief Justice summed up. He said the duty of the jury was to administer the law as it stood, and by that law the Vice-Chancellor certainly had power to order the imprisonment of suspected immoral persons ; and fbe question for them to decide was, whether there were grounds for them to suspect the plaintiff was an immoral person. If not, then they would say so, and also state what damage she had sustained by her imprisonment. t The jury, after an absence of four hours, came into court, and stated that upon the question put by his lord ship whether. the Vice-Chancellor had used due inquiry and proper vigilance in inquring into the charge, they could not say either yes or no. A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff, with leave :o move. POLICE INTELL TGER CE--( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. DOUBTPUL CHARGE or ROBBERY.—Catherine Sulli van, 17, was charged with stealing a gold ring, the property of Mrs. Mary Myers, wife of a tailor, 12, Old Compton street. Mrs. Myers said that on Tuesday last she placed two rings in a cup on the mantel-shelf, the prisoner being engaged by her since Wednesday. The previous day (Friday) she took the prisoner part of the way with her to Ludgate -hill, having a large bundle of clothes to take home to Mr. Samuels, and then told her to go back as she had only left a sick child behind, and at the same time tell ing her to be careful of the rings. On reaching home she missed one of the rings, and the prisoner had not returned and did not. She therefore at night sought her, and gave her into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked when she last saw the rings safe, and how she knew no one else had not been in the room. Mrs. Myers said she last saw the rings safe on Tuesday last. She knew no one had been in the room. When she spoke to the prisoner about it she was frightened. Prisoner—Do I look frightened. (Here an interchange of words took place between the prosecutrix and the prisoner, which at length being terminated), Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the girl what she had to say to not going back again. The girl replied that she had lost her way, not being used to the west end of the town, and living at White chapel. Mr. Tyrwhitt said although it waS suspicious in the girl not going back, still there was not evidence enough to detain her, and discharged her. THAMES. STEALING TEA IN TIIE LONDON DiCK.—Robert Wood, an elderly man, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing 111bs. of black tea, the property of the London Dock Company. It appeared from the evidence of a deli very foreman, named Tilley, that his attention was called to the suspicious movements of the prisoner this morning, and he watched him and saw him go into a tea warehouse, from which he soon emerged with tea dropping from his person. The prisoner was soon captured and searched, and 111bs. of black tea was found in his pockets ; in fast, every pocket in his clothes was filled with tea. The prisoner was quite unknown in the dock. He had no business there, and refused to give any account of himself. The tea was valued at 2s. 9d. per lb. The prisoner said he was guilty, and Mr. Selfe sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. MILK STMALING.—Two Irish boys, named James and Thomas Barrett, were brought before Mr. Selfe on a charge of stealing milk. A cowkeeper and dairyman named Matthew George Sharpley said he supplied milk to people in Stepney, and he had lately sustained great losses by the depredations of boys, who drank the milk out of the cans he left at the doors of his customers. This morning he was on the look-out, and saw the prisoners drink the milk out of a can he bad left at acustomer's door, in Arbour-square, near the court. He gave them into custody. The witness added that he did not wish the boys to be severely punished —he only wanted to put a stop to the practice. Mr. Selfe—Then the only way to do that is to discon tinue the practice of leaving your milk cans at peoples' doors. Mr. Sharpley said he was obliged to leave the cans at the doors of his customers who did not rise early enough to receive the milk when he went his rounds. Mr. Selfe—Then you must go round a second time—this is not to be tolerated. You hold out a temptation to boys. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that he saw seven milk cans at the doors of as many houses in the Commer cial-road on Sunday morning last. Mr. Selfe said the milkmen might as well fasten apples to people's knockers. Mr. Sharpley—That is a different thing. Mr. Selfe—Not at all, the temptation of milk is as great as apples. Drinking fountains are placed in the streets for thirsty souls, and the boys might have supposed some exc3ssively philanthropic persons had placed the milk cans at people's doors for their benefit. The boys were then lectured and discharged. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Dec.

Reference was made yesterday morning to a rather serious fraud which has been committed by Mr. Inglis, the late secretary of the British Empire Assurance Company. The event occurred some time back, but has not yet been permitted to tran spire. The directors, however, have just autho rised the publication of the following correspon dence. Messrs. Cooper Brothers and Co. are the accountants who have been employed in the inves tigation. We are informed that the ultimate loss to the company will be small, as a considerable sum will be obtained from the securities and friends of the delinquent. 32, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, E.C., Nov. 30, 1860. Gentlemen, —Perceiving a paragraph in a daily paper of this day calculated to mislead the public as to the recent discovery of a loss sustained by the British Empire Mutual Life Assurance Company in consequence of the misconduct of our secretary, you have our permission to make any use you think proper of the official report prepared by you as the result of your late investigation ; at the same time it is due to the company to state that the directors have obtained available securities which will reduce the ultimate loss to a sum under £4,000, and this amount has been pro vided for by life assurance ; the actual loss, therefore, will only encroach to a small extent on the ample reserve fund now in hand to meet contingencies.—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfully, (Signed) JOHN COVER, Chairman. Messrs. Cooper Brothers and Co., 13, George street, Mansion-house. 13, George-street, Mansion-house, London, Oct. 10. To the Directors of the British Empire Mutual Life Assurance Company. Gentlemen, —In pursuance of your instructions we have examined the books and accounts of your company, to ascertain the amount of t he defalcations of your late secre tary. We find the amount unaccounted for by him to be £9,791 ss. 9d. There :appears to . have been no unsound ness in the system of book-keeping , which has been well and accurately maintained, and subject to a mode of check ing calculated to defeat any attempt at fraud ; but by a simple contrivance the auditors have been misled on each succeeding occasion when their services were required. The secretary, having entire control of the cash, has exhibited in the books an apparent balance invariably far in excess of the sum really in hand or at the bankers.—We remain, &c., COOPER BROTHERS and Co. IMPORTANT TO MEDICAL STUDENTS.—It is neces sary that gentlemen who may think of ente r i ng th e arm y or Indian medical service should know that the next exami nation of candidates will commence on the third Monday in February. The number of assistant-surgeons required will be about 50. There will be no separate examinations for the two services, the British and Indian being now united under one head. All successful candidates will be gazetted on the same day; their pay will commence at once, and those who go abroad will have a free passage found. The prospect is a fine one for young men of energy,--lifedical Tsmce and Gazette. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. THE ITALIAN NAVY. Prince Eugene of Savoy-Carignan, Lieutenant- General of the King at Turin, has issued a decree on"organisation of the Italian navy. This force is henceforth divided into three departments—viz., the North ern, the Southern, and that of the Adriatic. The former extends from the French frontier to the extreme southern point of Tuscany, including Sar dinia and the islands of the Tuscan Sea ; its head quarters are at Genoa. The Southern department ex tends frem the extreme northern point of the Neapo litan coast to Cape Santa Meria di Leuca, the ex treme point of Terra d'Otranto, and also comprises Sicily; its head-quarters are at Naples. The depart ment of the Adriatic extends from the above-men tioned cape to the mouth of the Po, and its head quarters are fixed at Ancona. Each department is under the command of a Vice or Rear-Admiral, with the title of Commandant-General of the de partment. The Commandants-General are inde pendent of each other, and depend directly from the Minister of Marine. There are to be Commis sariats-General of the Navy at Genoa and Naples ; at Ancona there is to be a Commissariat-office, all independent of each other, and receiving direct in structions from the Minister of Marine. IREL AND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. MISS AYLWARD AND THE QUEEN'S BENCH. Owing to the informality in the committal of this lady, for contempt, to Richmond Bridewell, where there was no accommodation for her, and her sub sequent removal to Grangegorman Penitentiary, where there was, but where, it is contended by her advocates at the bar and the press, she could not be legally incarcerated " for contempt of court," there is every probability that she will be shortly again at large, free to repeat the act of contempt which the Queen's Bench intended to visit with " condign punishment," but which bids fair to result in the triumph of the offence over the authority of the law. Indeed, the Morning News asserts boldly that Miss Aylward could walk out of gaol at anymoment, being rather the Governor's guest than his prisoner, but that she does not choose to complicate affairs any further by adopting that course. The Packet of last night, referring to this subject, says " It is not improbable that this person may escape from detention through the informality said to have occurred in her committal. The matter will be decided to-morrow. It is entirely a question of law. The allegation is that the Queen's Bench had no power to send this notable martyr for contempt to any prison except the Marshalsea. Although the advisers of Miss Aylward made up their minds to the course they have now pursued on the very day after her transfer to Grangegorman Prison, they delayed their application to the Common Pleas until the last day of term, in order that there might be no opportunity given to the Court of Queen's Bench to amend its procedure. This line of conduct has been made the subject of cen sure by Chief Justice Monahan and Judge Christian, and d:sentitles the applicants to any indulgence from the court." Upon which the Morning News remarks : " Now, this last is an unfortunate allusion for the Packet and its judicial proteges, since the reason why the application was not sooner made to the Common Pleas was simply because Miss Aylward's attorney was refused copies, or even a reading, of the sentence and committal until he had threatened to swear affidavits for a public application ; and when at length the documents wore seen, the dis covery was made of the important words which render her committal to Grangegorman clearly illegal, and which a judge on the bench had denied to be part of the sentence. It was then quite clear why there had been such huggermugger about the documents." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

PRINCE lIIURAT AND THE THRONE OP NAPLES. The Paris correspondent of the Times says : One feels some curiosity to know whether the fol lowing document, which circulates here, and which is regarded as an address from Prince Murat to the Neapolitans, is authentic, and, if it be authentic, whether a hand other than Murat's and more cunning in using words to conceal thoughts may not have produced it. The point of authenticity might be settled by the Moniteur if the Moniteur wished to do so. Be this as it may, the " unification' of Italy is the exclusion of Murat or of any Prince of the Bonaparte family from the throne of Naples. The "unification" of Italy was Daniel Mania's thought by day and his dream by night ; and those who supported the pretensions of Murat or of any one else, except Victor Emmanuel, the great patriot denounced as traitors to the independence of Naples, and to the cause of Italian liberty. The document I allude to is said to have been sent for circulation in every city, in every village, and in the remotest corners of the Peninsula. It is true that not very long ago the Emperor did not conceal the very poor opinion he bad of Prince Murat's capacity for government. Whether he really meant what he said does not much matter. The following is the document : "Dear Duke,—lt is not only by you, but by a great number of my friends, that I find myself engaged to assume an active position in the affairs of the kingdom of Naples. " By making my reply public I reply to you and to all. " My words are dictated by a feeling of patriotism and of duty. My mind revolts at the idea that my influence and that of my friends should create an obstacle to Italian unification. The recollection of my father is sufficient to prove that, far from being averse from that work, I desire to co-operate in it. It. is for this reason that, in replying to you, I declare• that I cannot raise any difficulty, and that in any case I will ever respect the supreme decree of the national will. " I confine myself to that assurance. I might say more did I listen to the presentiments which make me doubt of the success as of the loyalty of the means employed to attain the object. " The work of Italian unity rests on the principle of the sovereignty of the people, before which rises still menacing the principle of Divine right. The latter has prevailed for centuries ; it has created and maintained powerful Monarchies of which the history, it must be admitted, identifies itself glo riously with that of civilization and progress. It has reigned respected, and the universal veneration which so long surrounded it was the effect of the sagacity and virtue of great Kings. At present it is falling to pieces; but, in order to efface it from the world without violence and without danger, it is necessary that popular rights at its birth should labour to surpass it in sagacity and in virtue. " Such is my veneration for this new law that the cause of my keeping aloof was to avoid all pre text for dissensions, of which its enemies would not have failed to take advantage. But, as the life of progress springs from the pure source of science and of noble sentiments, I greatly deplore that the accession of the sovereignty of the people in Italy was not accompanied by the indispensable accom paniment of all the great civic virtues. I see, in deed, the ballot-box open in the public squares, but I am indignant at seeing corruption and violence prowling around it. It is truly painful to find that a traffic in places and of public interests, always revered by the fathers of Italian civilisation as sacred and inviolable, has taken place at Naples. " The events of 1848 are too recent for us not to take example and instruction from them. The French Republic fell because it menaced all, and attempted to destroy all, before it had learned how to create, or to reconstruct. " Let the coalition of parties who govern Italy at present not forget the lesson to be drawn from those events. They have as yet proved themselves to be more tyrannical than the governments they have overthrown. " Liberty cannot be inaugurated by suspicion and tyranny. What means the disarming of so many communes, the state of siege proclaimed in so many provinces ? Such measures are far from proving the spontaneous character of universal suffrage and the confidence of the new authorities. " May the genius of the nation preserve us from fresh calamities As for my part, as long as the future of Italy shall not appear under more favour able auspices I shall remain a spectator, confining myself to good wishes that those who have under taken the regeneration of a people, hitherto the model of glory and misfortunes, shall be inspired only by the virtues, the sagacity, and the patriotism of our ancestors. " I proposed a federation because I believe it to be more in conformity with the national traditions and the customs and interests of Italy. I proposed it particularly on account of my aversion to all tyranny. I know that these hurried attempts of violence have no duration, and the present attempt at Italian unification appears to me perfectly artifi cial and violent. I believe that the federation alone can produce the unity destined to reconcile liberties and local interests with the national authority. " When Italy shall have gained her liberty and her grandeur, the dearest wishes of my father and of myself shall be accomplished. " LUCIEN MURAT. " Chateau de Bouzenval, Nov. 25." FOREIGN MINES.

DR. LIVINGSTONE'S EXPEDITION. News has reached Cape Town from the Zambezi mission. Dr. Livingstone was pursuing his dis coveries with his usual success. He was about to proceed, without any stoppage, up to the Makalolo country. The Ma Robert was entirely disabled, and the party were about to proceed on an over land journey; on their return they expected to find a new steamer ready for them, with which they would try to reach the great lake Nyassi by the Rowara river, said to flow out of it, and to be navi gable 100 leagues in length. The follow letter from Dr. Livingstone reached Cape Town shortly before the Dane sailed : " Mazars, Zambezi, March 25, 1860. " Si—We came down again to the sea in the hopes of meeting a cruiser, but, none appearing, we return hither and find a passage down to Quilli maine for Mr. Rae, our engineer, who is sent home on duty connected with the expedition. 7 ‘ We now proceed without any stoppage up to the Makalolo country, and will, on the way, examine every inch of the river up to Victoria Falls. We shall be able to say definitely whether a good steamer may stem the rapids of Debra-Rasa. Our opinion, founded on what we already know, is that in all ordinary floods the passage would be easy for a powerful boat. The present flood is the highest we have witnessed, and our poor frail steamer, made of a material which quickly under goes chemical decomposition, and ought never to have been employed in an experiment of this nature, shows a decided leaning towards settling and being borne away to the Indian Ocean. If we get her up to Tete she will never go more. "We spent 23 days down in the Mangwoi swamps (which we believe to be the hot-beds of fever) in the most unhealthy p eriod of the year. We had touches of the complaint, but the mode of treatment we adopt renders the fever not more formidable than a common cold. This is one of t e benefits our expedition has to show, and_to Dr. Kirk and myself not a small one .-- I have, 8.7 c., "DAVID LIVINGSTONE."

As the Earl and C oun tess of Stamford and Warrington were proceeding down Belgrave Gate, Leicester, day m orning, on their wa y to the "meet" at Gad on Mn desby, othe carriage, drawn by four beautiful horses, came in contact h e f e e 2 1. horses y rd e with a milk cart and fish dray. One of was thrown down, and was dragged u war e d w s along the paved gutter by the force of tile other three. The horse was fearfully injured and bled profusely. Lord and Lady Stamford escaped without injury, and took refuge in a ne i g hbouring house for upwards of an hour, awaiting a change of horses. One or two of the bystanders received slight injuries, and were liberally recompensed by his lord ship. The cause of the accident is not clear.—Leicester Journal. DREADFUL MURDER IN FIFESHIRE.—On Wed nesday evening about six o'clock a brutal murder was per petrated in the village of Torryburn, Fifeshire. At the above hour an under gamekeeper named M C ann or M' Kenn, \ a_ n Irishman, employed on the estate of Oak le y , entered the house of a carrier named Dobbie, residing in Torryburn, and, taking a deliberate aim at him with his gun as he sat beside the fire, shot him in the head. The unfortunate man only survived a few minutes. M'Kenn was imnaediately apprehended and locked in the county prison on a charge of murder. It appears that a few days previollo to pae murder Dobbie and M'Kenn had some nusunderstanding in a publichouse in the village, but their quarrel was stopped by the intervoution 01 some persons present. 111 E ROAD MURDER. FROME, FRIDAY EVENING. A meeting of the Trowbridge magistrates, t o which the public were admitted, was hld this day, at the police-court, Trowbridge, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances connected with the mysterious stained garment which has lately attracted so much attention in connection with this shocking crime. W. Stancomb, Esq., was chair man, and there were also present Sir John Awdrv, H. G. G. Ludlow, Esq., and Rev. R. Crawley, Witnesses having been ordered out of court, The Chairman said the magistrates wished to make some inquiry relative to the stained garment which had been found. The first they had heard relative to its discovery was the statement made at Road by Police-constable Urch, which they had seen in the papers. They had found since that Dr. Stapleton had seen one nightdress, but not the one allud e d to b y Police-constable Urcht and Sergeant Watts. He therefore, with Mr. Clark, had gone to Frome and seen Sergeant Watts, and got certain evidence which he had taken down in waiting. He had then been to Mr. Parsons, at Beekington, but he knew nothing of the matter. Ile had then Icm to Road-hill house and seen the cook, whose gar ment it was said to be. She said she knew nothing whatever of the matt er . T he garment was not hers. He had seen in the kitchen there what had been called the boiler-hole, but it was not a boiler hole at all, but a hot•dresser. He had then con ferred with his brother magistrates, and had a the erat cook s. private meeting; after which he had semeangti again and had a conference with the He took this opportunity of informing the p u bli c that as yet the character of Elizabeth Gough had been untainted. Sergeant Watts was then called, and deposed to finding the shift in question in the "boiler-hole." His evidence was to the same effect as that which has before been given on the subject. Superintendent Foley was then called. He said —The last witness showed me a chemise on the 30th, the latter part of the day. I did not keep it a minute. I think I said to the others, " Do put that thing away ; you all see what it is." A little while after I gave it to Dalimore. The policemen wanted me to let them put it back into the boiler-hole at once, I can't say whether any medical man saw it or not, or whether I saw it again on the Mon day. If Dr. Stapleton saw it it must have been on the Saturday. I showed Dr. Stapleton a night gown in a cart on the Monday. lam sorry I did not keep the shift and show it to you, gentlemen. The one I saw on the Saturday was a chemise, and why I did not want it shown was simply on account of decency. I should have been ashamed to show it to you. lam sure that that dress had nothing to do with the murder. The Chairman—l have known you, Mr. Foley, for 30 years. You held the office of parish con stable before the county police was formed for many years, and then you were unanimously appointed the superintendent. I would say here the public do not know you, but we do, and have perfect confidence in you. Our faith is as firm in you as ever it was. We believe you have shown your usual tact and astuteness in not making this mat ter public. ' Mr. StapletA, surgeon, was then called. He said—l was shown a garment having stains of blood upon it, when at Road-hill house, but I saw a garment on three separate occasions. I was con sulted about the stains upon it. I believe it was the same garment I saw each time. I can't say what that garment was by the quality, make, or size. I only knew it by the stains of blood on it, and I was satisfied what those stains were. lam not able to say whether the dress I saw was the same that others have seen. The clerk then read Sergeant Watts' evidence to Mr. Stapleton, who said the garment shown to him had stains only on the back of it. Mr. Foley, in answer to Mr. Stancomb, said he had not seen any paper with the shift. P. C. Dalimore said he saw Sergeant Watts take out the chemise wrapped in brown paper. He described the shift in similar terms to Sergeant Watts ; he had it in his possession from Saturday till Monday. He put it in the box of the cart. He had on the Monday shown it to his wife ; they had looked for some initials but found none. He took it back to Road, and asked Mr. Fcley to show it to Dr. Stapleton. He (witness) showed it to Dr. Stapleton in Mr. Foley's presence; it was in brown paper. He put it back in the cart again, and afterwards he asked Mr. Foley what he should do with it, and he told him to put it back where it was found, and he did so when the cook was out of the kitchen. After some unimportant details, witness said on the Monday before the inquest Mr. Stapleton saw a night dress belonging to Miss Constance Kent. This made two dresses Mr. Stapleton saw on the same day, one before and the other after the inquest. Mr. Stapleton (recalled) said he saw a dress on the Saturday, and just as he was leaving Road, while his horse was being put to, he gave orders to have the shift kept in safe custody. Never saw this shift but once afterwards, and that was on Monday at ten o'clock. Would swear to this. Police-constable Urch, Somersetshire policeman, corroborated Sergeant Watts, as also did Mr. Fricker, of Road, and police•constable Heritage. Mrs. Dalimore, wife of P. C. Dalimore, said she saw a garment on the Monday after the murder. She was satisfied it was not a lady's garment. Sarah Kirslake, cook at Road-hill House, said she lit the scullery fire as usual on the morning of the murder. She knew it was not hcr's, and she did not put it there. She saw nothing in the boiler- hole, and the fire was lighted there every morning. Mr. Stapleton (recalled) said he was present at the post-mortem examination. He saw red marks of suffocation about the body, and did not believe the child died from suffocation. It was his film belief that the child died instantly from having its throat cut. He was at the post-mortem examina tion, and when they returned to Mr. Kent, both Mr. Parsons and himself condoled with Mr. Kent on the fact that the child died instantly, and witk little suffering. He was therefore very much surprised at the conclusion which Mr. Parsons afterwards came to, that the child died from suffocation or some pressure, and was sur prised that Mr. Parsons so soon changed his mind. He was of opinion that the knife was inserted in the left side of throat ; and that the child rose its right hand, and that accounted for the cut on its hand. Sarah Cox, the housemaid, denied all knowledge of the garment in question. Mrs. Holley, the washerwoman, was called, and in reply to Mr. Stancomb, stated that she had never seen the breast flannel before. She did not wash it. She did not think it was a poor person's flannel at all. Mr. Ludlow said they had now no oth er wit nesses to examine. They were egret that it was wrong, or rather culpable , in not to have brought the fact of the finding so he oniy use of this d shift before them; but in not doing in this, his own judgmentitlsteansulting them. DOUBLE COLLISN RA loN IL TP ON THE NORTII.

Engines, tend The cutting was literally choked up- Engines, and waggons were either wedged together or smashed to pieces, and goods of all kinds were_ scattered in confusion across the e ntire line. One engine was embedded wheel deep in the earth, a 30 and above it and around were piled some 20 or waggons and horse-boxes. In one horse-box, we understand, there were three horses and a groom. How they escaped destruction is miraculous. The groom is said to have fouud himself lying scathless on the battery. The horses lay under the debris for some time. It was fully expected they were killed, but they sustained little injury. How the enginemen escaped cannot be divined, so complete was the wreck, and so fearful the shock of the collision. . One of them was found lying on the top of the engine-boiler. The damage must be considerable. The up-mail, due at Darlington a little after eight o'clock, did not get awa— y until the morning, and then only by returning to Darling. ton, and proceeding by . the Stockton and Darling. ton line to Preston junction, and so towards Northallerton. Some scores of workmen were en gaged the whole of the night clearing the line, and. it was no t until six o'clock yesterday morning t h a t this was effected. It was only by the passer ,gers transferring themselves from one to the r t h a t they were enabled to proceed on their jour. ney. Some were det ained the half of the night.
