It appears that two of the railway company's omni buses, conveying between seventy and eighty passeneers, vier, racing on the road, when me of the wheels of the first vthieli came off, and the coach behind, which was close up, galloped over ttie passengers of its broken-down competitor as they lay on the road. The poor passengers were most awfully cut up. They were cryvg out for help on all sides. Some had their legs broken, others their thighs, some their arms, and one poor woman, from Bramley, near Leeds, named Sarah Firth, bad her left arm broken, her left thigh, and the flesh of the left leg was parted from the bone. Medical aid Wks as promptly as possible procured. and; we arel ; glad to hear that the sufferers are doing as well as can be expected., The accident was the result of gross carelessness and reekle,s driving.

A better " first ail br' ensemble there has probably never been, end each sc,ile, made manifest the careful training end hearty good will of the various performers. Nor was this kindly feeling confined to _orre side of the t emps, for the audience generally testified. with considerable warmth, on every possible occasion, their earnest de sire to give the music of his Royal Highness a cordial reception. The music, though on the whole cleverly written, especially for the instruments, is deficient in decision of style. There is a patchiness throughout which frustrates our attempt to trace the author's in spirations to any one model. We remarked frequent reminiscences of Me3erbeer, of Donizatri, Flotow, ClsPisson, Auber, &c., &c., mixed up udoly enough with little tormenting snatches of fugal counterpart. Much of the concerted music, moreover, is badly voiced, and the orchestration occasionally confused, and overwhelming for the singers. Notwithstanding these defects, however, there is still a great deal of merit in his Royal Highness's work. It contains many agreeable phrases, ingenious harmonics, and frequently evidences a strong feeling for dramatic effect. We have heard worse operas by professional writers, even of celebrity ;, and amongst the theatrical compositions of amateurs, we assuredly know of nothing better. The " book" of Casilda is not bril• liant, but it acts pleasantly enough, and affords ample scope for scenic effect. The scene is laid in the pic turesque land of Spain ; and we have interesting old Moorish buildings, pretty costumes, characteristic dances, a sunny sky, luxuriant vegetation, and a band of gipsies, who play an important part in the action. The plot runs thus :—Alfonso, a young nobleman (Signor Catzolari), has fled in di-guise from Madrid, in cense quence of having (ss he imagines) killed his adversary in a duel. Arrived at Seville he joins a band of gipsiei, of whom Ca slide (Mdme. Charton), a beautiful young creature., gifted with extraordinary vocal and poetical powers, is the queen. Fascinated by her genius and loveli • ness, he offers her his hand, which she accepts, to the great dismay of Gomez, one of the gipsies (Sig• nor Susini), also her suitor, who vows vengeance against his rival. An opportunity soon presents itself for the execution of his malicious purpose; for Casilda being summoned by Don Luigi, Governor of Seville (Signor de Bassini), to sing at a fete which he gives at his palace in honour of the birth day of his betrothed, Donna Anna (Mdme. de la Grange), the discovery is made that Don Alfonso, who accompanies the gipsy, is a former lover of Donna Anna, and that it was in defence of her honour that he engaged in the supposed fatal duel. Gomez now works successfully upon the jealousy of Luigi and Casilda. Many unhappy contretemps and " hair-breadth '=capes " consequently take place, bUt everything is eventually set right by the arrival of news from Madrid that Alfonso s antagoniqi though severely wounded, was not killed; and that the gipsy's affianced husband has been pardoned by the King. Alfonso now declares publicly his determination to wed Casilda ; and Donna Anna, contented to see her ci•devant lover and chivalrous defendsr happy w i t h another, fulfils her engagement with Don Luigi, who possess • es the next claim to her affection. These are slender materials for a "grand opera," but the acts are short, and the piece is so judiciously eon structed, and many of the " situations" so interest ing and,effective, that we can remain to the end with. out ennui. Mdrne. Charton, as the heroine, never ap peared either as actre. sor singer to greater advantage The fair artist was warmly applauded in all her. efforts; but it was in the second act, where Casilda, smarting under the pangs of newly -awakened jea lousy, extemporises a song, in which she allegorically describes the feelings which rack her bosom, that Mdme. Charton was most admirable, and excited the greatest enthusiasm. Mdrne. de la Grange had but an insignificant " walking -lady" kind of part ; but she contrived to make it very prominent, and by her wonderful vocalisation to elicit a rapturous encore for an air which has but lisle merit in itself. Signori de Bassini and Celzolari are also entitled to high eulogy for the artistic man ner in which they supported their respective charac ters; and the bend, chorus, and corps de ballet, were even more than usually efficient. The raise en scene reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Harris, the clever stage director. It is replete with colour and cha racter, and nothing better of its kind has been seen in , any London theatre. The principal performers Were called for three times in the course of the opera, and a most enthusiastic encore was awarded to a lively chorus, excellently sung in the third act. Mr. Balfe conducted with his customary spirit and precision ; and the general perfcrmance was most honourable to the management. The entertainments concluded with the highly-popular ballet, entitled Zelie ; ou l' Amour et la Magie," in which the accomplished Caroline Rosati displayed her rare talent to the greatest possible advantage.

On Wednesday a public dinner took place in the As sembly Rooms at Totnes, to commemorate the victory recently obtained by the Reformers in this borough get ting the representation of both seats. There were about 150 gentlemen present. Mr. W. F. Windeatt presided, and Mr. J. R. Fogwill acted as vice.president. Mr. T. Mills, M.P., was present, but Lord Seymour, who was at Maiden Bradley, Warminster, had received the invi tation at so late a period as not to permit of his being present. Mr. G. Moffatt, M.P., and Mr. Lindsay, the recent candidate for Dartmouth, were also invited, but were unable to be present. The usual loyal toasts were drunk, after which the Chairman proposed the toast of the evening, the health of its Members. Mr. Mills, in replying, adverted with pleasure to the result of the contest. He said that after the Tories had had one seat for thirteen years, he had wrested it from them, and had obtained it by a larger mejority than all the majorities put together in all the contests that the Tories had had during that time. Mr. Mills promised that he would pay the electors en annual visit, to render them an account of his stewardship, and that if any of his votes were not satisfactory to a nahjority of his con•titnents he would resign. Mr. J. Neale, barrister, of the Oxford Circuit, replied to the toast of the electors of Dartmouth, by detailing some very gross cases V coercion that are now being put in force in that borough against persons who voted for the Liberal candidate, and loudly demanded the ballot, at which the whole company rose and gave three times three cheers. Mr. Neale also stated that it was his intention to immedi ately organ's) a reform association for South Devon, in order to wrest the representation of South Devon from the Tories. Mr. Latimer, of the Western Times, re sponded for the electors of Exeter, and followed up the remarks of Mr. Neale on coercion, by showing that the representation of South Devon, which was formerly in the bands of the yeomen, had .been wrested from them by the organization of the landlords and their intimi dating their tenantry. Some of the latter, who had dared to vote as they liked, had been turned out of their farms, and told to go and tell the reason why in the market places. Mr. Tucker, of Ashburton, Mr. Chalker, - of Dart mouth, and other gentlemen spoke, and the evening was passed in the most pleasant and agreeable manner.

Beltran a cleudle,J3 shy. amid the euthusias tic applause of a large and distingeishcd audience, was raised the first column ot a structure which, if it at all correspond in i e n ia fi y delity of execution to the conce p tio n of the world for teecllranialjeensgteycalmdPsbri:untywoitfhitasn'Ystihteing in ,and the grace, hghtnese, veriety, and utility of its fabric. I t is related in the touching narrative of the Jewish capti vity that those among the people who remernbcred the glory of the first temple wept when they saw the inferio rity of the second, but in this instance there is no reason to rear that the most • devoted admirer of the Crystal Pa , lace of 1851 will have cateie to sigh over the difference i between it and the Crystal Palace of 1853. Loftier in design, more varied in outline, with infinitely more of architectural beauty and pretension, it will form a land mark to which every eye will instinctively turd in one 1 Of the feirest districts in England, and, no longeni feneed,in by the streets and squares of a mighty city. it will occupy as prominent anti Conspicuous a position. I, `in the prospect, as it is ccstined to du in the history I of Loneor, and will stand forth from the horizon of than mighty city an object for ever recalling, amid the bum and hustle of every day life, the existence of truth, higher than three of the enjoyments which do not require wealth for their gratification. Unlike its predecessor, the creation of a few menthe, and the wonder of a few more, the mission orthe new Crystal Palace purports to be not of an age, but for all time. It is not a toy to be used for a single ' summer and then thrown aside, hut a permanent addition to the means of amusement and in. atruction possessed by England and the world. A fair constantly open, a bazaar of new and ever varying a t_ tractions, .an exhibition of all that is curious in art and beautiful in nature, the natural receptacle of every , new invencion, the natural laboratory for the construc tive intellect' of the country—such a building under takes to discharge functions, of which the brief and gle rieius e v e i m sio e n g o u f ees t , he former exhibition may enable us to form conception. 1 t i e but l pleasing gy to tvaiecwomapnleoteldoreaadth: cathedral, and to think that there , for hundreds ot years , the same worship h as been offered under the same roof; but the destinies of this edifice are, iii one respect, even more . striking, for it is destined to behold and to con ' a t a n i d n t t o h e b e r e t s h u e l ts firstef t w h i e t n g e r s a e d e u f a l e improvement of w h i e s c h i e m e c s e u , wins from th e hidd en an d reluctant laws o f na t ure . with are lowpunyalready obtained infantineandbtained compared and on what sp o t o f eart h canthehos e thattriumphsl. before e haveeus , than to be the appointed which th e h uman i nte ll ect shall bff ear o its victories in the field of knowledge? descend a n as o l b e t l r e o r e pfdho r eiestsincy does the new C rystal P alace differ in the old one, the principle of it s permßanuteereeet from and,as we foundation is of a di rectly opposite think, of a very superior character. The old Crystal Palace was an offering by tbe rich and the enlighteed, attaining financial results of a most brilliant nature, e but founded with other experiment on the taste pr a o nd t. views than thos© fe b e l l l t i ng w a o s f the na tion, subscribers the a ed credit projectors. or a great e r d ysta t l o Pal t a h c e e is a purely commercial speculatioe, and, on on that account, so much the better. iti in our opinion, im patier ce that we hear feeble and abort s iv w e it h"nedivest it of this its real and undoubted eharaet at te mpts so persuade the public that it is to be carried on e withnd to view to higher and more disinterested motives than usually actuate the directors and shareholders a io f ; 121.• stock company. We ri juice, on tbe other hand, that there is sufficient evidence of a refined and elegant tas.e among the working-classes, of a love of beauty arid a search for knowledge to justify a commercial association in exhausting every device which art and *kill can sug gest to gratify these tastes and prernsitiea. Other cities of Europe are rich in palaces, rased by hard earnings extorted from the hands of a starving people. Io London atone shall the people build a palace for themselves, not by compulsory tribute, but by free offerings, not to gra -1 tify the caprice of a tyrant, bat to obtain an honour able profit for money expended in promoting the im provement of mankind. It is a mistake to suppose that commercial associations can only be employed in grati fying low and material wants. This will undoubtedly be the case so long as the people have no higher or nobler craving to gratify, but in proportion as they be come elevated by education and enlightenment, the oh jects of such associations will rise also, and we shall find a joint-stock company just as powerful an instrument in the cultivation of tastes, and the promotion of science, when once the masses have come to desire these things, as in whirling us over the surface of the earth, or tear ing our path through the waves of the sea. The commercial principle - supersedes the necessity of an Augustan age ; literature needs no patron but the public; and philanthropy has nothing to ask from the great.se long as she can show an unexceptionable balance-sheet. Probably the least felicitous part of the proceedings of yesterday was the pompous enumeration of the great men who honoured the undertaking by their patronage. We confess that if its success de pended on the smiles of the great instead of the favour of the little, we should look forward to it with less confidence. The real charm of the undertaking is, that it is founded on a principle which dispenses with such things; and they but little know of what spirit they are of who seek to invest so noble a scheme with additional attractions, by the recital of an empty catalogue of distinguished names. We ate happy in the belief that the danger which menaced this excellent undertaking from the misdirected zeal of men who will not remember that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath, has passed away. To shut up the building and park on Sunday afternoon would be to the working classes of London an entire exclusion from the benefit intended; and Must almost, of necessity, be fatal to the scheme itself. The experiment is yet to be tried whether, by offering the working man innocent and wholesome enjoyment, h e may not be induced to spend in the work of Bell -improvement some of those few hours in which cessation from toil leaves him to feel the full weight of unoccupied existence. will .those who would shut the doors of the Crystal P a l ace on Sunday provide the poor with any entertainment equally innocent and equally attractive? If the poor man is to be called upon, in the name of religion, to sacrifice the afternoon of his weekly holiday, let us be quite sure that it is not in the interest of the tea-garden or the public. house that concession is demanded.. Ilfandscape e cannot but think that the contemplation of a glorious and of all the wonders ot crea t i o n which industry and r no , would be research - can collect under a single r c f ' t h ne any others influ ences more elevating and chastening afternoon of which are likely to preside over the Sunday the weary artisan. —......---el Tyne store-ship, Master-Ccmarricler Wellington, hi loading with stor©s at D?ptford, for Ascension and She will ba ready for sea by. the 15th.

(From the REgistrar-General's Report.) The health of Lend sn in the weE 1: ending Saturday, 31st July, has been distutbed by the prevalence of summer cholera and diarrhm4, yet the deaths have been 1,040, or 118 below the weekly average, which in the previous ten years was, when corrected for in crease of population, 1,158. 532 males and 508 fe males died in the week; the mortality bore most heavily on early life ; for of 1,040 who died, 586 were children under 15 years of age, 289 were in the middle stage of life extending from 15 to 60, and 165 were of the age of 60 and upwards. A woman at taived the advanced age of 96. One death in seven occurred in a public institution : namely, 92 in work houses, 39 in hospitals, 6 in lunatic asylums, 1 in prison, Bin Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals. The districts of Chelsea and Greenwich, as well as Ken sington and Wandsworth, experienced more than the usual mortality. During the week 18 deaths are assigned to small-poi; 2 cases are recorded as having occurred after vaccina tion. Fifteen children were left unprotected by their parent , , and died the victims of this negligence; 54 children died of scarlatina, which is prevalent ; 34 per sonsl4s or cons e u x m ce p p ti t on tw ; o, 4 a s du c i b t i ) ldr o e f n d o i. f 32 of pne umon i a; and 25 of of typhus; c sl e o 3a n s v oa u f 1 s o : ntteshr;eit3ihsle;aprlet4r;sl7 sod(tia.slebla,r beer chitin; e of f the liver; of violence.

It often approached in the severity of its symptoms to summer cholera, of Ni,hich 10 ctaldren, 4 adult:', and l persons ever the age of 60 died.

The beadle informs mo that the inhabitants complain bitterly of the landlord's neglect in not attend ing to the cesspools of the house, 5, Fair-street, and I can certify to the tenants making the same complaint in 1849 in this and in other houses in the same street, where cases of cholera occurred."
