In the discount market to-day the transactions n ave been rather less extensive, and the rates are Slightly easier.. The sum of £51,000 was taken to the Bank of E ngland yesterday afternoon. P ayment of the half yearly dividend, due on the per Ce n t . Chili an Government Loan o f 1866, has h announced by Messrs. J. Thompson, T. Bonar, and co. Iu the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been rather more animation. At the public sales of tea prices gene rally Wave been well supported. Sugar has been in Itederate request at steady prices, while an active demand has been experienced for rice at enhanced rat es• In tallow there has been little business, al though quotations for both present and forward 41 - I very remain steady. Letters from South Wales state that the iron trad e is improving under the influence of lower rates of discount, and a partial restoration of confidence. Several foreign orders have been received, large purchases are expected on American account, and a Considerable quantity of rails have been already s hipped for American ports, British North America, and the Baltic. Two o'CLoci. Nat The English Funds have been tolerably well sus n ' l ed, but there is a certain degree of dulness i l n ti ng to the quietude of business. Consols are I L 7 I for money, and 891 I for the account. Penulation is dull, and the public do not seem inclined to invest to any large extent.

The three first reside in Austria, the last in Switudand. The following year Francis IL was sent to increase the list of retired kings. In 1862 King OLho of Greece was driven from his throne. King George of Hanover, the Elector Frodetick William of Hesse, and Duke Adolph of Nassau have been just added to the list, which may further be augmented by the addi tion of Prince Couza, who now resides in Paris, and tho Prince of Augustenbur, who him in Bavaria. Share ' TIIE SUN, LorsvoN, TUESOAV EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1866. LAW INTELLIGENCE.— Sept• 5. ADMIRALTY COURT. (Before the Right Hon. Dr. Lushington.) His Lordship sat in chambers, and disposed of the fo . lowing important application : THE LATE SEIZURE OF VESSELS BY THE AMERICAN GOVERN MENT-THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. PRIOLEAU. This was an application by Mr. Prioleau, as owner of seven vessels at Liverpool and Birkenhead which had been seized by the marshal under a warrant of the Court, for the release of the same, on the ground that they belonged to him, and have been detained by the American Govern ment as having belonged to the Confederates in the late war. Mr. Milward, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Butt, appeared in support of the application for release, praying in each case that the vessels might be released without bail, and that the 'Government be condemned in cos's, on the ground that the affidaN :t on wh' eh the wa-rant of arrest bad been granted wa - ; defective and insufficient. The mltter was roost seri- orq to the defendant. There were seven vessels detained, an 1 the property was unde - .3t,00l to be worth £150,000. Mr.Veiaon Lushington, ou the pal:: of the United States, opposed the application, and characterised it as one of an unusual clorae . ,ar. The case could proceed to herring in the customarY . manner. His Lordship, after hearing a discussion on both sides, said he should require an order from Mr. Adam, the American Minister, or the Counsul General, before the case was allowed to proceed. The venerable judge intimated that, if necessary, he would hear the case during the long vacation. Order accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. immediately, and another mail struck her on the back of the head with a stone. She lost a good deal of blood. Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 405., and in default one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. Tremendous. Fire at Whitechapel. DESTRUCTION . OF THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY GOODS STATION. Thig morning, shortly after one o'clock, a most tremen dous fire broke out at the London and North Western Railway Goods Station, Haydon-square, Minories, which has laid in ruins property to the amount of many thousand pounds. The warehouses, seven stories in height, cover a large space of ground, and are surrounded by numerous small houses. The fire was discovered raging in the top floor of the goods department, which contained saltpetre, whisky, and many other inflammable goods. Conductor Wood shortly afterwards arrived with the fire-eseapa, when he found the flames 'travelling round the build ings, and aroused the inmates of the adjoining houses. The steam engines of Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co. also arrived in quick succession, as well as the Salvage Corps, with a large body of men, who got to work, under the direction of Mr. William Swanton, the superintendent, and Mr. 'William Withers, the foreman. The scene was most distressing at this moment, men, women, and children rushing out of their houses with anything they could place their hands upon. A good supply of water being obtained from the mains of the East London Water they set to work in first-rate style, the steam engines entirely surrounding the buildings, but at the time this report - was written it was far from being subdued. Mr. B. Langham, of the North British and Mercantile Fire-office, as well as Mr. Charles Reado, have made a most searching investigation as to the cause of the outbreak, but nothing at present can be ascertained. The loss will fall on the Sun, Plicenix, Western, North British and Mercantile, Hercules, and other fire-offices. A Desperate Battle with a serpent. (From the Bengal Ilurkara.) Sir,—My object in now addressing the following through your columns is to remove the doubt enter:ained by many, with regard to the subject it treats upon ; honc•o I request that you will bo pleased to aid in giving it an early venti lation. I have per used with some interest the correspondence which passed some time ago, between Major Macauly, of the 231 Rogt. L. 1., and Munora correspondent of the Sin diva, regarding the contest of the cobra and the mongoose. Major Macap'y asserted that the mongoose dies from the inflammation. caused by the bite of the cobra ; while on the other hand the Sindiaa maintained from the effects of the venom, and the sure remedy of the animal against it was the particular herb. 'I did not place any reliance upon the veracity of these statements (which had been the caL,3 with many of its readers, as some supposed that the mongoose had a prophylactic in its blood, and others hold different hypothesis) till of late, when I had the opportunity of witnessing the encounter of the two inveterate foes. The assertion of the Munora correspon dent, I obser Jed, was borax upon a fact. The particulars of the combat I briefly relate for public information. A large cobra was seen issuingout of a bramble-bush as if the animal was pp-sued by on enemy. Subsequently a full grown mongoose seemed to be the pp-suer. The snake ex hibited signs of great fear and alarm and hastened to on away as soon as possible ; the mongoose was eNidently un w.lling to let the pu-saed escape ; and in order to arrest the course of the cobra, it took a semi-ci-cle course and came upon it, whereupon the for.ner halted and raised itself with expanded hood hissing at its assailant. The mon goose, daunting nothing at his formidable adversais's threats, began to move in a ci ,- cle round the cobra, with a low purring as that of a cat. He made several ci-uits, the cobra twisting on all sides he moved, and within that time gradually raised itself to the full lengil, standing almost peyendicular, only the tip of the tail being on the ground, as if the cobra had great apprehension' of its head, which it held as high as possible beyond the reach of the mongoose. This scheme effected naught. The opponent now"shicte and making a mighty bound passed over the head of the cobra and came at its back. The cobra instantly faced him. Having repeated the feat two or three times, the mongoose stepped backward to the distance of newly 3ft., and then taking a proper aim, suddenly darted upon the cobra and illicted a severe bite on the necl - , both fall ing down. At the same time the mongoose,-still retaining the hold the cobra toa .sted over the mongoose veri tightly. This brought him to the upshot of yield; ig to the power of his enemy, as I plainly s..w that the mongoose could not move his limbs for him, but only kept his hold fast. In this position they struggled at interval., and at times lay motionless. The contest between these two wee'-known enemies began at nine a.m. end ended at about tan. I observed the above occurrerra from behind the stem of a large tree at a distance of 21 or 25 yards. Now curiosity drew me nearer, behind another one, which left only a space of 14 or 15 yards be tween me and the scene of the combat. Thence I had a clearer view as to what was going on. The mongoose out matched the cobra, though he was the longest I ever saw. The cobra grasped him so tightly that I believed the crea ture would die, and rot being able to retain his hold he gave in. The cobra, availing himself of the opportunity, inflicted a severe sting, I cannot say on which part of its antagonist's body, and instantly raised Es head angrily. The mongoose drew back and left the place apparently with symptoms of much distress, and got into an adjoining bush. The cobra moved not an inch from the spot, stood as before with expanded hood and looking in the direction the mongodSe had gone. Now I felt that the fight was over and intended to find my way from the place, but to my astonishment, before 15 minutes could pass, the mongoose returned with redoubled strength and activity, went direct to the cobra, masticating something. He then sprang at the cobra and hit the animal on the same pert he had first done. Both fell to the ground, and after a desperate struggle, which lasted for nearly 18 minutes, the cobra was totally conquered. It began to relax hold; ultimately stretching on the ground and quivering its tail, it expired. The mongoose devoured a small portion of his victim's flesh and left the residue on the spot for his comrades to feast upon, and finally quitted the field. The mongoose has no prophylactic gland to counteract the effect of the cobra's sting ; but the paracular herb is the only sure antidote against the venom. Vypean, April 25th. A. Woorcoes. HEAVY BETTING.—In an elaborate article on the evils of heavy betting, the " Gentleman in Black," in Rally's Magazine, gives the two following sketches :—The Duke of A— is a young man, who has had a long minority, and inherits, at one-and-twenty, a very hand some income even for a man in his exalted position of life. Ho has gone through the ordinary education of an English gentleman, and on bis accession to his property is not long in discovering that he has a taste beyond thin bread and butter and the organ. The inclinations of an English man make themselves conspicuous. He longs for the county hounds, and they are not vnwillingly surren dered by his predecessor, who has discovered that that bed of roses has its share of thorns. In procoss of time he feels that good may be done by giving a proper impetus to turf pursuits. He is quite acute enough to know that in doing it he may be done; that he make his debat to a crowd which admires his pocuniosity quite as much as himself. Still he has some faith in that common sense and highfeeling which has carried through some of his predecessors unscathed. He purchases a stud, not of such overwhelming magnitude that he scarcely knows what half of them are doing, or where half of them are kept. He takes care that the 'few he has shall be as good us his own judgment, aided by long experience of others,can procure. In this way he commences a racing stud ; a stud, be it re marked, not made up of third or fourth-rate horses, which are only worth keeping with the hope of a favourable handi cap, in which 20 losses shall be made up by one great win ; but one in which blood and symmetry unite, and from which his efforts may well be directed to the acquision of a Derby, a Leger, or an Oaks. Of course, so valuable a prey is not to be allowed to escape without some efforts to land him. Such efforts are vain. Why? Because, rich as be is, ho feels no anxiety to risk monkeys, when the nobler animal, a pony, will do. If he really were a neody man, who shall say what he might do ? Being a Duke, with a rent roll of some £60,000 a-year, who should he de sire to make it more by the loss of a neighbour? He is above the charge or suspicion of avarice, surely ; and his pony or two suffice to give him what is politely called "an interest in the race." This being the case, why should ho act any part but that of an openhanded and openhearted English gentleman ? Ho has no object to gain in immoderate gamb ling; he avoids the snares which would beinvariably set for himself; he maintains the dignity of his position free from damaging associates (for even dukes do not raise blacklegs to their own level); he has a sufficient excitement beyond the stakes, in backing his favourite for a pony or two ; he sets a good example to those few persons who are influenced by habits of high birth, and has the satisfaction of knowing that he is joining in the national amusements of his country, and improving the breed her horses, with out detriment to his reputation or fortune. If he loses his money he can afford to do so without letting his temper follow it ; if he wins, he sets at defiance the insinuation of sordid motives by the moderation of the stake. The Marquis of B- is a young man whose education, in like manner, has been attended with those advantages which accompany a well-cultivated taste for Greek iambics, cricket, rat hunting, a'nd the Christopher, and which has been further strengthened by the strong meats of the Uni versities or the Household Brigade. He starts in life with advantages equal to those of his friend and companion. He is as well-bred and as wealthy, and is not long in discovering he too will do well to participate in what is commonly that known as the national sport. But his mind is of a different caste to his friend. He is susceptible to flattery, which is discreetly administered by u discriminating press ; and to the calls of ambition, whose satisfaction will be attained only by an immediate notoriety. His early plunges are therefore void of the prudence which has marked the carper of his neighbour. He instructs his commissioners to spiNe no expense, to stop at no price, in the purchase of his horses,\ and to limit themselves neither in the number nor the extravagance of his bets. He becomes the talk of the town. Gentlemen of equal fortune and equal rank wonder how long it will last, and smile at the vulgarity of the ostenta tion. Those who would imitate a marquis at any price, end with the fable of the frog and the ox. The harpies rejoice, and silently chuckle over the feast which the fulfilment of their hopes is providing. The stud grows larger and less valuable, and heavy "coups" come off less frequently; what began by being a pleasure has now become a passion. The lawyer steps in and helps the money-lender. Bit by bit tho noble property is being shorn of its ancient glory. The Irish estates are gone ; there is a mortgage on Dunderhead, and Swampstead is in the hands of the Jews. Then comes a certainty at last. The Derby colt has had a surprising trial; he will not be brought out for the Two Thousand. Tho Marquis of B- stands to win one hundred and sew ny thousand to nothing; so says the "Penny Gaff," which knows all about marquises, and must be right. Then commence various manipulations about the horse. Now he is down at 10 to 1, again ho is up at 3 to 2 ; down he goes again, and then the public discover that he is a roarer. He takes his gallop between two known roarors, and again the "Gaff" and the public are at a loss. Two days before the Derby the horse is scratched, and the Marquis goes abroad. Tho world and the " Gaff" abuse him, and believe that he has'saved Swampstead by the lost Derby. The fact is, that he knows nothing about the business, but has boon swindled by trainer, jockey, tout, and commissioner, and finds that he can only save Dunderhead by four years of continental economy, during which time the tenants who regarded him, the friends and family who loved him, and all who know his good q ualities, are left to moralise on the termination of a career which collapsed under the pressure of "heavy betting." Of the unfortunate frogs who have endeavoured to imitate the bull. some are liviieg on their brothers and sisters in a dishonourable depend ence • others are unable to show their faces in this countr y , and feel ashamed of them in almost any other; ann no in considerable portion of them have returned to their natural condition of the gaol and the workhouse. The Marquis of B-- will begin life again upon a diminished income and . popularity in the course of eight or ten yeaas, but with a matured judgment and higher NUN el enjoyment. BOW-STREET. Absolom King was charged with stealing three glasses from the Prince of Wales publichouse, at the corner of Drury-lane and Great Queen-street. The barman stated that on the previous night the pri soner and two other men entered the house and called for a quartern of brandy, with which he served them in three glasses. They drank that and two other quarterns of brandy, and then they left together. They all appeared quite sober when they came in, but after drinking the brandy the prisoner appeared very drunk. After they lett ho missed the three glasses,, and went after them. He could not see the other two,.but he followed the prisoner until lie met a policeman, to whom the prosecutor pointed him Out, and charged him with stealing the glasses. The policeman asked him if he had any glasses belonging to the Prince of Wales. He said " Yes," and, taking a glass from his pocket, gave it to the policeman. The constable said, "Any more?" and tho prisoner took from another pocket a second glass. The constable said "Now have you got the other ?" and he then gave up the third glass. He was taken to the station-house. The constable said the prisoner seemed to be so drunk that he did not know what he was about. Mr. Abrams, for the defence, said that the prisoner was a man of excellent character, and he hoped to convince the magistrate that he was a man incapable of any wilful dishonesty. No doubt he was excessively drunk, and might have taken the glasses in a drunken blunder, or his companions who probably were as tipsy as himself might have put them in his pocket for what is vulgarly termed a " lark." Even if the magistrate thought the prisoner had taken the glasses, he would probably, under the circum stances, think himself justified in treating the case as one of unlawful possession. Several respectable witnesses proved that the prisoner had worked three years as a gauger of cement on the Thames Embankment works, and had borne an excellent character. The barman said that as the prisoner was a working man, and not a regular thief, he did not wish to press for a heavy punishment. Mr. Vaughan—Do you wish to withdraw tho charge ? Witness—l don't wish to withdraw it bearing against him. Mr. Vaughan said he could not treat it as a case of un lawful possession, nor could he accept the suggestion thrown out that it was the trick of the prisoner's com panions. if it were so they would have been called. The prisoner, by Mr. Abram's advice, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. MANSION-HOUSE. UTTERING BAD COlN.—William Scott was brought up on remand, charged with uttering two counterfeit half crowns, well-knowing them not to bo genuine. From the evidence of a young girl, waitress at a coffee shop kept by a widow named Cliff, at 113, Bishops gate-street, it appeared that about twelve o'clock on Friday night last, the prisoner came to the coffee shop and was served with refreshments, fur which he gave her what appeared to be a good half-crown, which she put into a till which had no other coin of that amount, and gave the prisoner 2s. change. He came shortly afterwards and tendered her another coin, which she at once detected as being bad. She called her mistress, who gave him into custody ; and on searching the till the other coin was found to be a bad one. Cliff proved to having emptied tho till a short time before the prisoner came to the shop. On being searched at the station, 4s. 6d. in good silver and 2d. were found on the prisoner. The prisoner, who denied his knowledge of the coin being spurious, was fully committed for trial at the Cen tral Criminal Court. ANOTHER CASE OF UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN.- - Charles Carter was charged with attempting to pass a bad half-crown under the following circumstances : Yesterday about three o'clock in the afternoon he went into the .Teruialem public-house, 48 and 49, Bishopsgate street Without, and called for a half-quartern of rum, When the barman served him he gave the coin in question, which the former at once detected as being counterfeit, and ho jumped over the counter and collared him, as he was about running away. The prisoner denied that he ever moved, and said that he had received it at a place called Club-row in the neigh bourhood, where he had sold a cage, and he was quite ignorant that it was bad. _ _ Police-constable 70, of the City force, said that when he took the prisoner into custody he denied being aware that the coin was not genuine, and he gave an address at a coffee shop in the City-road, where he was not known. He had no money on him when given in charge. Mr. Alderman Finnis remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—George Johnson, 130, Tachbrook-street, Pimlico, plumber, was charged with assaulting a police constable in the execution of his duty, and doing damage to his helmet to the amount of 15s. Jonathan Rickards, 70-B, said—l was on duty rt half past one this morning in Rochester-row, and saw four per sons (the prisoner one of them) at the corner of Wilton street. They were making a noise, and I ordered them on. The prisoner picked up a quart pot and threw it at me, striking me on the coat tail. I took no notice of it, and still ordered them on. The prisoner thou struck me violently in the eye, and one of his companions hit me in the back. My helmet was knocked off by the prisoner. I was knocked down and kicked about the body by all of them, the prisoner being ringleader. I held him on the ground, another constable and two gentlemen came- up, and we got him to the station. My helmet, value 155., is perfectly useless. Grant, 289 B, proved assisting. One of the prisoner's companions was smashing the helmet. Prisoner declared that Rickards was drunk and assaulted him that, and that the others attacked him. He was severely beaten. William Nicholls, 86 B, reserve man at the station, was present when the charge was taken. Prisoner was drunk, the constable quite sober. A gentleman said if he had not interfered the constable would have been killed. Prisoner had no witnesses to call. Mr. Daymom said the question was, who should he credit, these witnesses on oath, or the prisoner, who ac knowledgedhe was drunk ? li e p u t no f a i t h i n what the prisoner said. - Prisoner was fined 40s. for the assault, i3s. damage, or ono month's hard labour. THAMES. A TROUBLESOME CUSTOMER.—John Ryan, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Mr. Hayward, land lord of the Gun Tavern, High-street, opposite Gun dock, Wapping, and also assaulting Police-constable Palmer, No. 258 K. The prisoner went into the Gun last night. He was intoxicated, and demanded refreshment, which Mr. Hay ward, the landlord, a very respectable man, refused to - supply him with, and be made a great disturbance. Mr. Hayward desired him to leave tho houso, which he refused to do, and struck the landlord with his hat on the face. Mr. Hayward wished the prisoner to be forgiven, on the ground that he was a hard working man with a family— on which Mr. Partridge said—" I suppose he is in the habit of using your house." Mr. Hayward said that it was so, and that ho was generally very quiet. The constable, No. 258 K, said that when he was called upon to take the prisoner into custody, ho threw him on the ground, fell upon him and beat him. This was re peated several times. At last he drew his truncheon, and told the prisoner that he would use it if he did not desist. The prisoner then became comparatively quiet end was locked up. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 40s. or be imprisoned for one month. A Row IN PALMER'S FOLLY.—Edward Walsh, au Irish- American sailor, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting Mary Ann Morris, who appeared in court with a severe wound on the back of her.head and a black eye, which was much inflamed. There was a quarrel and fight in one of the infamous dens in Palmer's Folly, Ratcliff Highway, last night, and some Irish-American sailors used their fists and their boots too, and in the course of the row the prisoner struck the complainant on the left eye, from which the and streamed Dover and Cinque Ports Regatta. Yesterday' pened, for the third time, most inauspiciously for this annual event. Dark clouds lowered, and a strong S.W. wind with a rough sea prevailed up to 10 o'clock, when the threatening weather culminated in a copious fall of rain, which seemed almost to decide that another postponement must take place. Towards noon, however, the rain ceased, the sky cleared, the wind moderated, add the sea calmed to an extent that justified the committee making preparations for holding tkie regatta. By a happy metamorphosis the town in the Course of an hour or two changed its dull and dreary aspect for one of activity and liveliness. The regatta was under the patronage of Earl Granville, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports ; Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, Lord Sondes, the Mayor of Dover, Major Dickson, M.P. ; Mr. C. K. Freshfield, Sir Luke Smithett; Mr. J. Goodson, M.P. ; Capt. Jl P n ' er, BRi.rNB. W. Bridges, eEsllisM;PM. r ; . J, Penn E; Deri ng, Capt B M ru .P c:3, ; R.N. ; Mr. * J. 0. Ottaway, &c. Sir Luke Smithett ably officiated as judge Shortly before 1 o'clock the Dover Harbour Boaed's steamer Palmerston was moored in the bay abreast Clarence-lane as a committee boat ; but though as the tido went down the water became smoother in the bay, there were but few venturous enough to put off in rowing boats for pleasure. Without delay, however, the preparations were made for the first race, being a sailing match between yachts, over 30 tons, for a purse of 60 sous, open to all yacht clubs ; first prize, 50 sovs ; second prize, 10 sovs ; a quarter of a minute allowed for difference of ton nage. Only three yachts entered, viz., Vindex, 45 tons, A. Duncan, London, owner ; Sphynx, 47 tons, A. C. Mauds lay, London, owner; Christabel, 51 tons, A. C. Kennard, Loudon, owner. At 1.48 precisely the yachts started at the signal of a gun. The course was from the committee vessel round South Sand Head twice—a total distance of about 25 miles, and as by this time the wind had veered round more westerly the yachts had no difficulty in getting off. All three yachts got away smartly, the Sphinx in the van ; but when they rounded the committee vessel on the first return, about 4 o'clock, Christabel was first. The yachts came in at the conclusion of the race a few minutes before 6 o'clock, Christabel 14 minutes before the Sphinx, and the Sphinx 7 minutes before the Vindex. The second race— a sailing match for yachts unifier 30 tons, for a purse of 30 sous.—did not fill. The other races were of minor importance. The sports concluded with a dock hunt. The Dover lifeboat (the Royal Wiltshire) was launched and exercised in the bay during the afternoon. There was a numerous concourse of visitors and other spectators lining the promenades and beach, who were enlivened by the performances of the band of the 44th Regiment. A grand display of fireworks and a balloon ascent closed the out door amusements of the day. MARKETS.—;Thia Day. HAY.

Thomas Le Marchant, of Sea View, Isle of Wight, and Guernsey, and the widow of the late Captain Purcell, 13th Hussars, and daughter of Sir John Hesketh Lethbridge, Bart., of Sandhill Park, Somerset shire. , E R N RAILWA Y vAA E c , D E M N %ni p l A V Y A .— LE A S. RTH s e L E e Nf e l i v t e y : ment caused in thi s ne i ghbourhood by the fearful accident on the Carnarvonshi re R ailway last Thursday lessens, it becomes possible to ge t f uller and more accurate details of FA T ZI the circumstances attene'ng it. The line running between Carnarvon and Portmadoc, a distance of about twenty miles, is part of the Canab:!an system, and had just b3en finished by the contractor, Mr. Thomas Sav:n, and awaited the inspection of the government officer be:ore being for mally opened for traffic. , Yielding to a repeated solicita tion of the people at Portmadoc and other places along the line, Mr. Savin, however, u nfortunately permitted a-spe cial excursion train to inn to Oarnarvon on the occasion of the mooting of the Calvinistic Methodists' Association in that town, with the fatal result already recorded. A de rangement of the points near this station (where the ac cident occur ..ed) was undoubtedly the immediate cause of the catastrophe; and it is believed by those connected with the line that the points had been tampered with by some curious person passing over the crossing. It seems that when the engine and teader ran off the line the shock broke the coupling chain of the second carriage, and thus only two of the carriages followed the engine, and were smashed, the rest of the train keeping on the main line, and avoiding the collision. It is owing to the fact that the number of injured passengers in a train conveying about eight hundred is so remarkably slight in comparison with those killed on the spot. Mrs. Evans, one of the pas sengers in the Second carriage, died yesterday, this making tho number of deaths six. The names of several more passengers who have sustained injuries more or less seri ous, have been ascertained, but the list_ does not yet exceed ten. On Frlday an inquest was opened here before the coroner, in view of the bodies, which had been laid in the shed adjoining the station. No evidence beyond that necessary for the identification of tho bodies was taken, and the inquir j was then adjourned till to-morrow. THE YORKSIIICE HARVEST. —The state of the weather has now become a matter of very serious import to , the farmers of the two agricultural sections of this county. The Doncaster week has come—the period when the har vest-home suppers are usually held_ and fully one-half the crop is uncut, and but a very small portion of it secured. Tho floods have receded cortainlY, but the almost constant showers, with a warm te.nperature, render harvest work trying in the extreme. Corn in some parts has never been fairly dry for the last three weeks, and sprouting has in consequence been far too general. The farmers' hopes were all centred upon the new moon of Sunday, which period was generally looked to for a change of weather. Sunday, however, was wet, and up to noon yesterday rain still fell. There was, however, an improvement in the afternoon, when the sun broke forth, but the wind still kept d ue mal l . Aain, home; had quite ceased. THE AUTUMN HANDICAPS.

THE MARQUIS DE MOUSTIER.—The Avenir .Na tional says respecting the now Foreign Minister of France :—" The Marquis do Moustier is connected by mar riage with oce of the great clerical families of Belgium. He married the daughter of Count Werner de Mdrode, and is thus also allied to Count de Montalembert. It is supposed that M. de Moustier does not hold clerical opi nions, and he has never had any very intimate relations with M. de Alontalembert. By his marriage the Marquis do Moustier has ac piked large estates in Belgium. WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION.—Mr. F. H. Bacon, the newly-appointed revising barrister, has fixed Wednes day, the Mk October,. for the Westminster registration. The metropolitan districts, , as well as the county of Mid dlesex, have been placed in new hands for revision. PRINCE NAPOLEON.—According to the Journal de Havre Prince Napoleon was momentarily expected at that port, where his yacht lay in readiness to start. It was undersiood that his Imperial Highness would visit the coasts of England. PROLIFIC OATS.—On Friday last, on a stalk of oats cut from a field on Balckford, leased by Mr. Jack, were counted no less than 263 pickles of corn. The stalk Ins also this peculiarity, that from near the base sprung out a subordinate branch, with a distinct ear of corn upon it. The variety of oats was the Providence, first brought into notice by Mr. Steadman, Boghall.—Scotsman. CHINESE MODE OF MAKING CHANGE.—A novel way of making change recently occurred at Hong Kong, China. An American having complained to a native judge of a tailor who had cheated him, the official sentenced the culprit to fifty blows of the bastinado—a 'sentence which was at once executed, and the Ammican charged fifty cents costs. The judge, not being able to change the dollar given him by the . American, the latter humorously told him to take it out in the same manner. Accordingly the tailor was again tied down and received fifty more blows, thus making up in his own person the required change. ACCIDENT TO MIL J. C. DEANE. --Intelligence has just been received of an accident to Mr. J. C. Deane, the secretary of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. It appears that on the 15th of August he fell from the bridge of the Groat Eastern steamer and fractured his left arm. He remains on board the Great Eastern, and is progress ing favourably. DEEPENING OF THE SEINE. --The Journal de Rouen learns from Paris that the Government has just given orders to commence works for the deepening of the Seine between Paris and that city, so as to secure a uniform depth of about 2 metres (61 feet). The expense of these works i estimated at 6,500,000 fr. A FATHER ACCIDENTALLY SIIOT BY HIS SON.— On Friday morning considerable excitement was occasioned in the village of Gomshall, near Guildford, by the circulation of a report that Mr. Cole, a gentleman resid ing at Woodlands Farm, a short distance from Shore, had been shot by his son, and on inquiry it turned out that the rumour was well founded. It appears that on the morn ing in question Mr. Cole was out shooting with his son, who is a youth of 15 or 16 years of age, in a field belong ing to Mr. Killick, between the small village commonly called "The Hammer" and Sutton. Mr. Cole left his son, and went on to some high ground at a distance of abo 50 yards, in search of some partridges. Ho was partially con cealed from view, when a partridge rose in front of the son in a direct lino with his father. The youth immediately fired, but did not kill the bird, and the shots, which spread very much, struck his father in the hands, face, abdomen, and legs, and inflicted several wounds, which bled pro fusely, and, which at first sight amearecl .to; be of a very serious character. Assistance was at once procured, and the wounded gentleman was conveyed to his residence, where he was attended by Mr. T. J. Sells, surgeon, of Guildford, and subsequently by Dr. Capron, of Shore, and the shots were for the most part extracted. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the medical gentlemen re sults in stopping the haemorrhage, and it was feared thats e uently sults would be very serious ; but this was s ubsequently recovery. q checked, and the patient is now in a fair The poor boy, who was unwittingly the s i . author mis chief, was greatly horrified at the condit ion of his father. —West Surrey Times. rece ived at Chatham dockyard from the towtahyor of the o A notification has been it Admfirar a ission to the Naval m Y d examination of students annou ncing that the i tng depart- School of Architecture be held on the 24 th inst. and following day s.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE.--On Sun day evening a man named James Middleton, residing in Poplar, cut the throat of a widow, Elizabeth Patterson, at a house in Brunswick-street, Blackwell. The poor woman was found lying on the floor, a pool of blood at her side, and she apparently dying. The man, imme diately after attempting the murder, cut his own throat. He was taken to the Poplar Hospital, but it was thought ulladv:sable to move the woman in her then precarious state. It is said that the cause of the crime was jealousy, the man having "kept company" with the woman for some time past. An Austrian subjeet, J. Klautschnigg, has been condemned to six months' imprisonment at Trieste, for having sold 133 gineo ij Egypt.

ANGLO-SAXON ENGLISH I—Sir John Bowring, in a recent lecture of his down at Tavistock, took oc casion to remark that "in the Lord's Prayer of 69 words Gi were Auglo-Saxon. In Shakspere, taking the passage ''To be or not to be,' there wore, of 82 words, 70 Anglo- Saxon. In a passage from Swift of 88 words, Le found 78; of Dr. Johnson in 87 words, 66 Anglo-Saxon.
