On Thursday Miss Rye sailed from the Mersey, with ninety-five persons under her care, in the Montreal ocean steamship Hibernian (Captain Smith) for Quebec. Her charge consisted of nineteen adults, eight boys, and sixty eight little girls, all of whom, with the exception of ten, are orphans. Her intention is to take them to an esta blishment she has prepared in Canada, near Niagara, and there give them a course of training, end ultimately to send them out as domestic servants. Miss Rye herself, with twenty-six children from London,Wolvel bampton, Bath, &c., , arrived on board on Wednesday evening. The Liverpool contingent, consisting of fifty little girls from the Liver pool Industrial Schools, which form part of the parochial system, were taken on board on Thursday at noon. About a month ago Miss Rye explained her plan to the Liver pool select vestry, and obtained their consent to the expe riment at the rate of .£8 per head. The money was provided, £2OO out of the voluntary rate, and the remaining £2OO by subscription, Mr. Rathbone, M.P., being a principal subscriber. Eighty or ninety children were at first selected, all of them either orphans or those who had been deserted for a number of years ; but it was determined that no child whose relatives objected should be sent out, andas objections were made in several cases the number was at length reduced to fifty. The inmates of the schools were at once set to work, and an excellent kit was provided for each of the little travellers. A good substantial box, con taining twenty-eight articles of apparel, was given to each. Mr. and Mrs. Birchall, the master and matron of the schools, accompanied the little emigrants to the steamer. It was an interesting sight on board the tender. The fifty were all under 11 years of age, and twenty were under seven. They were all attired in warm woollen hoods, covering the ears and shoulders, substantial woollen frocks and cloaks, stout shoes, and woollen socks. Each little one was also pro vided with a nice picture-book and a plum bun. They were an exceedingly cheerful, merry, happy-looking assem blage. The arrangements made for their reception were admirable. Their berths were roomy, and the whole section was carefully partitioned oft from the other parts of the vessel, and would be strictly reserved to Miss Rye, her matron, and the children ander their charge. On their arrival on board, the children were at once taken down to their section of the vessel for dinner. All the children were provided with excel lent outfits. Before leaving the school the Liverpool children were carefully examined by the school doctor, and they, with the others, also passed the scrutiny of the emigration medical officer. As to their future, Miss Rye has already bought and prepared an ample home for them at Niagara, which she has aptly christened " Our Western Home." There the children will be kept in careful training until they are 15, when they will bo let out to service at fixed rates of wages, and still be to some extent under Miss Rye's supervision, until they are 13, when they become their own mistresses. Due care will be taken that the persons to whom the children are permitted to go out are of good character and position. There is, however, another very important and interesting element in the scheme.

The inquest on the bodies of William Moor, engine driver, and Robert Greaves, fireman, who were killed by the collision on the Bishop Auckland and Sunderland branch of the North-Eastern Railway on Friday night last, has been concluded at the Hunwick Railway Hotel. Colonel Hutchinson, the Government Inspector of Rail ways, was present. A good deal of evidence was taken, but the facts were very simple, and were as follows :—On Friday night last the train for Durham, Sunderland, and Newcastle departed from Bishop Auckland at the usual time, ten minutes past six o'clock, and after leaving Hunwick Station the guard, Thomas Fawcett, saw the signal on at Roughlee, and he put the break on. But when within about 150 yards of the back signals the train was run into by twelve heavily laden coal trucks from the opposite direction, and the result was that the engine of the passenger train was knocked over, and the engineman and fireman were killed, while several of the passengers were badly hurt. Hunwick station is not in telegraphic communication with the other stations, and the cause of the accident was that Brance peth Colliery sends its coals and coke down the Bishop Auckland line to Sunderland to ship, and in heavy trucks to the south, and is connected by an independent siding which is upon an incline, to the main line. On the night in question No. 474 engine, belonging to the North•- Eastern Railway Company, was pulling a load of trucks from the colliery on to the siding. The night was dark, and the engineman had drawn out some twenty-seven or twenty-eight loaded trucks, when the guard told the fire man, John Wanless, who had only been a month in the employ of the railway company, and who had not been at Brancepeth Colliery before, to go down and hold the points, as he (the guard) was about to uncouple some of the waggons. He did so, but Wanless, getting confused, had allowed some of the waggons to pass the points and to run down the incline on to the main line ; the passenger train met them as they were running at immense speed; the engine of the passenger train and several of the trucks were "smashed up,' , and all the mischief was done. There wore no means of stop ping the trucks, and the passenger train could not get out of the way. The Deputy Coroner said he was under the impression that there was telegraphic communication between all stations, and was of opinion that such com munications ought to exist. Colonel Hutchinson said it was very desirable that there should be telegraphic com munication between all stations, and there was at this time some agitation going forward in favour of such facility. There was generally communication between the large sta tions, but not between the smaller. On this subject of corn munication between all stations the Board of Trade felt very strongly, and were of opinion that all lines should be worked by a system of block-telegraphy, which was very simple and effective. Railway companies should issue orders that no shunting should go on at the top of inclines in making up a train, and for this purpose more siding accommodation should be provided. The accident was the result of gross negligence alone, and that had been shewn to be the case all along, notwithstanding other matters which had been mixed up with it. The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and left the matter ,for the consideration of the jury. After half an hour's consultation, the jury announced "That they found that the deceased William Moor and Robert Greaves were accidentally killed by certaln trucks running into the train in which deceased were. That the said trucks had been allowed to run away down the incline at Brancepeth Colliery by John Wanless, a fireman in the service of the North-Eastern Railway Company, mistaking the duties assigned to him at the points ; that the jury were of opinion the North-Eastern Railway Company had been guilty of gross negligence in sending John Wanless to perform duties at Brancepeth Colliery, which he had never previously performed, in the dark; and also in allowing trucks to be shunted up the main line at the top of an in cline so near the time when a train was due. The jury also recommended that telegraphic communication be made be tween all stations." A CHEAP AND BEAUTIFUL BED FOR THE WINTER.—This heading suggests wool and feathers, buO really refer to a suggestion in the Gardener's Magazine for the decoration of those damp, mouldy plots into which winter gardens in and about London are apt to degene rate :—" The bed has a centre of Cineraria maritima ; next, a broad band of the Chilian beet ; next a band of Golden feather, and, finally, a margin of Sempervivium Coliforni cum." The writer states that a bed planted in such manner has a charming appearance throughout the winter, and that the whole stock of plants can be raised without an inch of glass. A numerous popular meeting held at Malin, Bohemia, near Kuttenberg, separated after passing the two following resolutions That, instead of Latin, in comprehensible to the great majority of Bohemians, the language of the country should be employed in all religious ceremonies ; and, 2, that laymen shall in future take part in the government of the Church. A certain number of priests were present at the proceedings, and the majority voted in favour of the resolutions proposed by the com mittee. The object of the assembly was to proclaim, like the congress at Pesth, Catholic autonomy in opposition to Ultramontanism. Similar meetings are being organised in other parts of Bohemia. A. SNUFF-BOX FOR THE POPE.—Th© gold snuff box sent from San Francisco tojthe Pope contained about 600 dols. in gold. The box is three and a half inches long and two and a half inches wide. On the top, in a blue enamel setting, is a raised oval of rich gold-bearing quartz, remarkable for its purity of colour and the manner in which the streaks of gold ore aro interspersed throughout. The box bears the following inscription :—" To the Holy Father Pio NON 0, from the Vicar-General, San Francisco." EMBEZZLEMENT IN CORNWALL. - Mr. Josiah Ralph, manager and cashier of Perran Foundry, near Truro, on extensive works owned by Sir William Williams, Bart., and Co., has absconded, a defaulter, it is stated, to the extent of several thousands. The books are in a state of confusion, so that the exact amount of his defalcations cannot be ascertained, but it is said he has decamped with something like £2,000, which ho received a few days ago in Wales, in payment for engines supplied by the firm. Ho is believed to have left the country, his wife and children remaining at Perran. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. TrunSDAY. According to the Lit erte of this morning, we are not to have any attempt at a Parliamentary session until the 29th of November. All the efforts made to induce the Emperor to reopen the " petite session " so abruptly sus pended in July have proved unavailing, and as the interval between us and the 129th grows shorter and shorter, of course the change becomes more improbable. Another public question of great interest has been, however, more favourably decided in high quarters. It has been propcsed to restrain the liberty of the press in consequence of a very violent article which appeared last Tuesday in one of the journals. Fortunately, however, wiser counsels prevailed, and though one section of the Cabinet was very anxious to punish the offender, it was decided to leave matters as they are. The ConstitzJionnel and the Libertd both undertake the office of censor of the press, and are justly indignant at the reckless folly which :strengthens the hands of power, while it disgusts all moderate and right thinking men. It was yeAerday reported that the last number of the Refonne, containing a furious article advocating civil war, had been seized. This statement is, however, positively con tradicted. Five hundred of the workmen of Lyons have addressed a letter to M. Raspail, dated the 26th, in which they thank him for the lesson which he has given the democracy. The writers fear that in the excitement of political reforms the questions of the relations between capital and labour, which are most interesting to them, will be overlooked. M. Raspail, they believe, has recognised their importance, and has constituted himself the representative of the workmen's views and wishes. Their great international association will soon, they boast, be reckoned by mil!ions. The affair of the 26th is still the subject of conversation and discussion in the absence of more engrossing topics. The Journal des Debats satirically compares it to those battles at whose conclusion a Te Deus is sung in both camps. However, wo can hardly regard the present situa tion as anything but an armed truce between personal power and the people. Two measures of considerable social importance are being discussed by the Conseil d'Etat—a scheme for gra tuitous primary instruction, and the draft of a Senatus- Consultum for altering the form of nominating the mayors. I have already told you that the privilege of nomination is to be retained by the executive, so that this much-looked-for reform will be of a very partial and un satisfactory nature. There is little to say of the strike of the drapers' assistants. The Constitutionnel denies a rumour that has been circulated to the effect that the authorities had rendered assistance to the Magasin du Louvre in furnishing a hundred young girls from charitable institu tions. This would have been an intervention between employers and employed, and nothing of the kind has taken place. M. Jules Simon has left for Bordeaux, and M. Gambetta intends to follow him shortly. The two Deputies intend on leaving the Gironde to repair to St. Aubin in order to investigate the events of the strike. A report, which needs confirmation, declares that the Imperial Government has sent an official agent to the Spanish Ministry to intimate the displeasure that has been occasioned to it by the countenance afforded to the Duke of Montpensier in his candidature for the throne of Spain. Another duel has taken place. The combatants were M. Emault-Peltrie, a captain in the National Guard, and M. Escalier. The scene of the combat was the Bois de Vincennes, and the fight lasted several minutes. Escalier was very seriou3ly wounded. 105 107 9$ 100 96 99 1 W 113 63 72 THE SPAIs.ZISII INSURRECTION. The Unionists and Progressists have found a common subject of interest in the selection of a sovereign, and so the Ministerial crisis is for a time suspended. The claims of the various candidates for the throne will be discussed at a caucus meeting of the monarchical party, and the Unionists have decided to abide by the decision of the majority. Senor Zorilla has given up his project concerning the clergy, and accepted the proposition of the Finance Minister re specting a reduction in the religious charges. There have been some hints thrown out as to the probability of Marshal Serrano or General Prim being elected to the sovereignty, but the claim of the one interferes with the other, so that it would be difficult for either to succeed. A sentence of death has been recorded against the Republican deputy Caima by a Council of War. Some of the political prisoners taken at Barcelona have contrived to effect their escape and get off on board a foreign vessel. FUNERAL OF LORD DERBY. LIVERPOOL, Friday. The remains of the late Earl of Derby were con signed to-day to their last resting-place in Knows ley church. The funeral procession left the Hall at noon ; and, with rigid adherence to the ex pressed wish of the noble ear!, was marked by the absenso of all pomp and ceremony equal to the greatness of the deceased nobleman. The funeral cortege consisted only of the hearse, eight carriages containing the relatives, and some eighty of the principal servants. Inside the church the arrange ments were of the same simple character. The family chapel, the pulpit, communion table, and the pews had been draped in black. The body of the late earl was enclosed in three coffins ; that in which the body is placed is of oak ; this is enclosed in a strong leaden one, with the inscription, in letters of the same metal— The Fourteenth Earl of Derby, Born March 29, 1799, Died October 23, 1869. This is again enclosed in another oaken shell, covered with crimson satin, with gilt designs of the coronet and a reversed torch, and on which is a fuller inscription than that upon the leaden coffin. CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT—(7his Day)• SENDING A THREATENING LETTER. Arthur Brown was indicted for sending a threatening letter to Mr. Arnold, the magistrate at the Westminster Police-court. It will be recollected that the prisoner was placed before Mr. Arnald charged with being concerned in a disturbance that took place at Cremorue Gardens, and after a very lengthened examination the magistrate fined him £l5 and costs. Some time after this Mr. Arnold received a number of letters informing that he had been the cause of a young man losing a good situation, and that it was intended to have revenge for the severity of the sentence ha inflicted. One of the letters desired that some recompense might be made, otherwise his life would be en dangered. The prisoner was ultimately taken into custody, charged with the offence, and finally com mitted for trial. In his defence the prisoner denied that he was the writer of the letter. Robert Laing was indicted for embezzling two sums of money, the property of John Stuart Crosbie. The prisoner was a canvasser in the employ of the prosecutor, and the money in question was re ceived by him for Mr. Crosbie, but never properly paid over. The trial of the first indictment took place a day or two ago, and resulted in an acquit tal. In meeting the present indictment the prisoner made an able address to the jury, denying the charge made against him. In neither of the above cases had the jury re turned a verdict. An interesting trial of sewing machines lately took place at London, Canada, in the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur. The result was given in a de spatch to the London house of Elias Howe, 64, Regent street, by Mr. L. C. Mendon, the manager in Canada West. It appears that that house received the first prize at the provincial exhibition for family and manufacturing ma chines. The contest lasted eight hours, and the Howe machine proved victorious. Yesterday morning the Admiralty telegraphed to Chatham dockyard that the storm drum should be hoisted, to warn outward-bound vessels that wet weather was expected. During the day a strong wind blew from the north-west ; the day was very cold, though bright, and in the afternoon some snow fell. The Fisgard, late flagship of Admiral Dimon stone at Woolwich, is ordered to be paid off on the Ist of November, and tecommissioned the next day with a reduced complement of men. Ifer Marines will consist of one sergeant, two corporals, and 20 • light infantry. [ADYERTISEMENT.—HoIIoway's Pills.—Truthful expe rience.—The united testimony of thousands, extending over more than thirty years, most strongly recommends these pills as the best purifiers, the mildest aperients, and the surest restoratives. They never prove delusive, or merely give temporary relief, but attack all ailments of the stomach, lungs, heart, head, and bowels in the only safe and legitimate way, by depurating the blood, and reno vating those imperfections which are the foundation and support of almost every disease. Their medical efficacy is wonderful in renovating enfeebled constitutions. Their action embraces all that is desirable iu a household medi cine. They repel every noxious and effete matter, and thus the strength is nurtured and the energies stimulated SPORTING INTELLIGENCE-Ml 3 NEWMARKET HOUGIITON MEETING, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Oct. 29.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. The market firm PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and Vie short exchange on London is 25f. 15a. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 128.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION. In consequence of the great success of Miss Bouverie in the Shaksperian " Costume Recitals," which during the present month have comprised a wide range of character and severely tested the versatile powers of this accomplished actress, we are to have another week of the series, the selec tions comprising not only Lady Macbeth, Juliet, and Rosalind (the merits of which have been warmly acknowledged by crowded audiences) but the shrew Katherine, and Julia from Knowles' ever-welcome play of the " Hunchback." The " Costume Recitals" will be brought to a con clusion on Saturday next, November 6th, and we hope will be patronised as their merit deserves. THE HEALTH OF MR. PEABODY.
