LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day SHERIFFS , COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) RICHARDSON T. MURRELL-IMPORTANT TO BUYERS AT AUCTION SALES-SINGULAR DISPUTE. This was an action to recover a sum of money alleged to have been overpaid to the defendant or his servants on a certain lot of goods sold at a public auction, and over which the defendant, the well-known auctioneer, presided. Plaintiff stated that he bid for and bought a certain lot of goods, which came to £5 3s. He was applied to by one of the defendant's men for £5 95., and paid that sum. Sub sequently plaintiff obtained an account from defendant, and found that only £5 3s. had been due. His Honour called for the account, and found that de fendant only charged £5 35., and only gave credit for that sum paid. Defendant's clerk stated that Mr. Murrell had no know ledge of any payment of . .£5 Os. Ho (witness) produced the account of the sale, and his honour would find that £5 3s. only had been charged. His Honour (to plaintiff)—l see that defendant's book is all right. Plaintiff—l have nothing to do with that. I only know that defendant's man came up to me and demanded the money (X 5 95.) for my lot. His Honour—But how do you make defendant liable ? Plaintiff—lt is the custom at all auctions to pay the man who makes up the lots and applies for the deposit. Now, I do know that the man to whom I paid the money was in the employment of Mr. Murrell, and when I parted with the amount it was under that impression. His Honour—But if the man received the money with out the knowledge or sanction of the auctioneer, how would you make him liable ? Plaintiff—l paid him as the servant of defendant. Defendant's clerk—Both the men who were in the room on the day of the sale are present now. Two men came forward, and both swore that they had never received the money now sued for. Plaintiff challenged one of the men, but he swore in most positive terms, "I did not take the 65." Plaintiff—l swear I paid him. Defendant's clerk—l attended the sale as clerk to the auctioneer, and I alone am responsible for the amounts, and to me should they be paid. His Honour ruled that the auctioneer was not liable, and if plaintiff could make out a case he should sue the man. Plaintiff, as he left the box, turned to one of the men and said, " You are a - liar, and I'll have it out of your body if I don't have it out of your pocket." The verdict was then entered for defendant, with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) IN RE COLLINS.-A JOURNALIST BEFORE TILE COURT. This _bankrupt was described as of Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden, now a prisoner for debt, journalist, and. to day he applied to be released from custody. It appeal ed that the bankrupt had written a letter to the judgment creditor upon the subject of some writs, and in one pas sage he suggested that the various copies left with him would make excellent pipe lights. • There was some oppo sition to the order, but the Court granted it, and bank rupt was released. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. 0 MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—A well-dressed young woman, describing herself as a servant, and giving the name and address as Sophia Bruce, of Prince's-street, Edinburgh, was charged beforo Mr. Tyrwhitt, with steal ing a dressing-case and other articles, the property of Mr. Robert Rivett, lodging at No. 10, Down-street, Piccadilly, and some tablecloths and other articles, the property of Mr. Samuel Florence, the landlord. Mr. Rivett said he took the prisoner home with him, and went to bed at an early hour on Tuesday morning. On getting up he missed his dressing-case and other articles. He spoke to his landlord, and he also missed several ar ticles, and he then gave information to the police. An eye-glass found in the prisoner, but which had since been broken, was his property. The prisoner crying, said that the glass was her own property, that she brought it from Edinburgh with her, that she had never seen the prosecutor before, having only arrived in London yesterday morning. She said that she met a woman, went with her, had something to drink, and lost the carpet bag. The charge was quite false. Police-constable 143 C said that at two that morning (Saturday) he saw the prisoner near the Marble Arch, and as she answered the description given by the prosecutor he took her into custody. The prosecutor at first hesitated, but afterwards was positive as to the prisoner's identity. As she was going along Down-street, she took from her neck an eye-glass, and tried to make away with it, but ho took it from her, and the prosecutor identifidd it as his property. He should be able, if the prisoner were re manded, to bring forward a witness who saw her on Friday with a bundle. . The prisoner again denied all knowledge of the prose cutor or the robbery. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her. WESTMINSTER. BURGLARY )3Y A PRIVATE OF THE FUSILIER GUARDS. — George M'Nair, a private of the second battalion of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, was charged with breaking into the dwelling house of John B. Jackson, of 35, Upper Ebury street, and stealing an umbrella, two coats, and other articles. Benjamin Hawes, a lodger, said that about two o'clock that morning he was alarmed by hearing some one in his room. He struck a light, when he observed the prisoner, who had on the dress of a private of the Fusilier Guards. He asked the prisoner what he was up to. He replied, " All right." Witness called up a man and told him to go for a constable, as the prisoner had two coats on his arm, one of which was his (witness's) property.. (The articles were produced, as was a bar that had been broken from the area window). Mr. Arnold—Do you know the prisoner ? Witness—l never saw him before. Mr. J. R. Jackson, landlord of the house, said that he went out for a police-constable, but could not find one till he got to the station-house. A constable searched the prisoner at the station-house, and found a few articles on him which ho (witness) identified. Witness also examined the premises, and found that the prisoner had got admis sion by breaking the wooden bar that secured the area window. He had also broken four panes of glass, one of which was close by the latch which closed the window, and he got in by raising the window. Police-sergeant, B 26, supported the last witness's evi dence, and said that the prisoner was sober. Sergeant-Major Murray stated that the prisoner bore a very indifferent character in the regiment. Prisoner was remanded to Friday next. THAMES. FEMALE OUTRAGE.—Sarah Williams, aged 21, and Mary Smith, 21, two audacious and vulgar women, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a gold brooch and a gold chain from Mrs. Elizabeth Berry and assaulting her. The complainant, a very respectable and lady-like woman, is the wife of Mr. Berry, a master carpenter, of the White Cottage, Chadwell-heath, Essex, and who also collects the rents of houses in Stepney and Limehouse. Last night, at 11 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Berry were in Whitehouse-lane, Stepney, parting with a friend, when the prisoners and two other women, who are dwelling in some houses in North-street, Limehouse, where Mr. Berry calls weekly for rent, halloaed out to the husband, " Berry, are you not going to stand some gin ?" At the same time they pushed against Mrs. Berry, who said she did not know them, and begged of them to keep their own company. The prisoners and their companions instantly attacked Mrs. Berry in a savage manner. They struck her with their fists and knocked her down ; Wil liams fell upon her and tore the hair out of her head, and Smith knelt upon her and pummelled her unmercifully. Mrs. Berry, who acted with great courage, seized Smith by the throat, who bit Mrs. Berry's hand, kicked, plunged, and acted in a most desperate manner. Mr. Berry kept the other forces at bay, and was beaten, scratched, and kicked. His wife lost her brooch and chains, valued at £lO, in the struggle, but could not say whether the prisoners or their companions took them or not. Her parasol and hair-net were destroyed, and a valuable white straw hat torn in the struggle. The back of her right hand was lacerated with teeth marks, and her face and forehead contused and scratched. Mr. Berry, Mrs. Ann Levy, and other witnesses confirmed the account of Mrs. Berry, and added that when Mrs. Berry said " I don't know you, my good woman, and want to have nothing to do with you," Smith said, "You - dolly, I'll make you know me,' and struck her with her fist on the face, and tore her hat off. James Taylor, No. 359 K, said that when he came to the assistance of Mrs. Berry, she had hold of Smith ; her hands were bleeding, and her hair was in a disorderly state about her shoulders. The prisoners were much excited. They were bad characters. Mr. Partridge said the prisoners had committed a very gross assault on Mrs. Berry. They acted like cannibals in biting and scratching a respectable woman, who would not give them gin. He fined the prisoners £3 each, and in default six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. - - The market opens very firm. Sales probably about 10,000 bales. The Turkish 1858 Bondholders' Committee state that the Imperial Government, through the Turkish Ambassador, has undertaken that, for the future, the revenues of the Customs and octroi of Constan tinople, especially assigned for the service of this loan, shall be paid into a separate account at the Imperial Ottoman Bank. The letters of allotment in the London Bridge Land Company were issued this afternoon. Dreadful Railw4 , Accident at Staplehurst, TEN PERSONS KILLED-UPWARDS OF TWENTY WOUNDED. The two fatal accidents on the Great Western -Railway have been followed by one even more start ling on the South-Eastern line, and from the cha racter of the train to which the disaster occurred the intelligence will be read with unusually painful in terest. The fast tidal train, timed to leave Folke stone at 2 30 p.m. on the arrival of passengers from Boulogne, who quitted Paris yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, started, as usual, with about 110 passen gers, and proceeded nearly 30 miles on its journey, when, at a place called Staplehurst, the accident oc curred which has been productive of such lamentable consequences. It appears that at this point the railway crosses a stream which in winter is of for midable dimensions and of considerable depth, but in summer shrinks to the proportions of a rivulet. On the bridge itself a plate had been loosened by the platelayers, and the engine running over this was thrown off the rails. Though displaced from its proper track the locomotive adhered to the perma nent way, but the train broke into two parts, and seven or eight of the carriages plunged into or through the stream, a fall of several feet. These unhappy vehicles were so crushed and shattered to pieces that together they did not occupy the space of two whole carriages ; cushions and luggage were thrown out, into, and upon the mud in all directions ; and, as regards the occupants, the sad story was only too truthfully told in the telegram received in town shortly before 4 o'clock—" Several killed at Staple hurst ; many more injured." _ _ Mr. Eborall, the Manager, and Mr. Knight, the traffic superintendent, on recept of this information immediately left London-bridge, and proceeded to the spot in a special train, taking with them Mr. S. Jones, of Thomas's Hospital, Mr. Adams, of the London Hospital (surgeon to the company), Dr. Palfrey, Dr. M. Sutton, and such other medical aid as could be procured at the moment. Assistance was also summoned from Ashford and Tunbridge, so that before very long 20 medical men, at least, were on the spot. There was but too much need for the services of one and all. A glance at the condition of the train and a hasty recognition of the class to which its occupants belonged showed that it was no ordinary accident which had occurred. The carriages that went down into the water were so twisted, flat tened, and turned upon their sides that it was im possible to say whether the unfortunate travellers inside had been killed outright by the shock or suf focated as they lay in the water and mud. Those of the passengers who escaped injury in the first in stance behaved nobly towards their fellows in dis tress; there was no standing irresolute on the bank; everything that willing hands could do was done, and done at once ; but, in spite of every effort, ten and 20 is the lowest lives h a a t e d tbheaetn haslo s t b b e e e y n o n f o d r r m e c all, ed as to the wounded. Mr. Hoare, a resident in the district, placed his carriage at the disposal of the medical staff, and valu able assistance was rendered by this agency in deal ing with cases of the greatest emergency. In the confusion which prevailed, and owing to the mani fest reluctance of most of the sufferers to alarm their friends by disclosing their names, the greatest difficulty was experienced in collecting anything like accurate information as to the casualties. Several of the dead remain still without identification, all that is known of one party being that they were per sons of some position returning from India. In the course of the evening successive trains brought to London those of the party whose condi tion fitted them to- travel ; but frequently it was evident that they themselves were scarcely conscious of the extent of the shock they had undergone. One gentlemen had sustained serious injuries about the head. In two or three instances members of a party into which death bad intruded came sadly and un accompanied to town. One case of this kind was pe culiarly affecting. A gentleman, evidently in acute pain, but in still greater distress of mind, carried, half unconsciously, the bonnet worn by his wife on the journey that was so lamentably and, in her case, fatally interrupted. Among those brought to Lon don by their friends in the course of the evening were Mr. Graham, who proceeded to the St. James's Hotel, suffering from injuries to the leg and face ; Madame Gouverneur, of York-house, Twickenham, contused and shaken ; Mr. Blow, Tavistock Hotel, severely injured about the head ; Mr. J. P. Lord, of Bolton, Lancashire, and Mrs. Lord, taken to the Castle and Falcon, Aldersgate-street, Mrs. Lord having received severe injuries ; and Mrs. Hampson, who had received cuts on the head and face, this lady's husband being among the killed. Another lady, name unascertained, was taken to Guy's Hos pital. The friends of those known to have been in the train were scarcely less to be pitied than the suf ferers themselves. Both at London-bridge and Charing-cross stations large numbers of eager in quirers gathered, the news of the accident having attained immediate and almost universal circulation, owing doubtless to the circumstance that the rail way accidents occurring previously had prepared the public to watch for the next in the series of disasters that on these occasions follow each other with the fatal regularity of fires. Mr. Charles Dickens had a narrow escape. He was in the train, but, fortunately for himself and for the interests of literature, received no injuries whatever. The disaster, it is thought, would have been even greater had it not been for the unusual amount of break-power incorporated with the train. In addi tion to the ordinary leverage power exerted in the three guards' vans, there were patent breaks as well, of the kind k nown as Cremer's, an American inven tion, supposed t o possess properties of peculiar value in arresting th e progress of a train. Taking into ac count the cont ro l exercised over the engine, there were no less than seven breaks in all regulating the speed of the train. By the last of the special trains which reached town at or after 1 o'clock this morning two other gentlemen with injuries of a serious character reached town. These were Mr. Hunt, of Dalston, and a French gentleman, M. le Marchant whose hip was fractured. The family and friends of Mr. Moss, partner in the firm of Messrs. Defries, chan delier manufacturers of Houndsditch, were so uneasy on his account that, after the receipt of two or three telegrams fro m hi s medical attendants, they pro ceeded to Stapl e h urst by pia train. to in. un derstood, howe ver , th at in the case of this gentle manl the injurie s were pr i ncir The railway authoritiess e appear-a lly confined to the foot. recog nised and admitted fr om the first the very severe the character of the accid en t, and halvtewas necessity of affording full information to the public. Mr. Dyne, the superintendent of the London-bridge Terminus, in reply to eager and incessant inquiries, afforded all the information that was in his power ; and his superiors added, on their return to town, such further details as the result of their inquiries enabled them to furnish. The provision made for the relief of the sufferers was, as already stated, prompt and ample. With the exception of one of the guards, who received contusions, and of the engineer and fireman, who were shaken but not otherwise hurt, the company's servants escaped miraculously, so that in this case there will be no difficulties in the way of a searching inquiry, such as are commonly encountered when death has with drawn one of the witnesses whose evidence might be most material. The police have felt it right to take into custody the foreman of the gang of plate layers, responsible for the condition of the portion of the line at which the accident occurred. It will, of course, be matter for inquiry hereafter whether the plate was, in fact, improperly removed and the accident thereby occasioned ; whether the flag pro tecting the operations of the platelayers was sent back to a sufficient distance, and there placed so that it could be seen by the engine -driver. But it would be plainly premature, as well as unjust to wards the prisoner, to allude here to any of the rumours current on these points. Suffice it to say the causes leading to this most lamentable interruption of what, though a tidal and therefore it egular service, has hitherto been a sin gularly safe one, will need probing to the very bottom, if public donfidence in the present systen of maintaining the permanent way is, after two re- cent accidents so very similar in their nature, to be restored. The inquest upon the remains of the deceased will be opened formally this afternoon, but, pending complete identification, will probably be adjourned till Monday next. FURTHER PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY). The terrible accident to the tidal express train at present appears to have resulted from a cause for which the railway company cannot be blamed. It is now well known that repairs were going on at the spot where the accident occurred, and the plate layers, who were the parties engaged, were furnished with the particulars of the times at which the trains arrived from the Continent and other places. Ac cording to the June time table, the first tidal ex press on Tuesday left Dover at 8.45, and arrived in London at 10.55. On Wednesday, however, it left Dover at 2.30, and arrived in London at 4.40 ; the same on Thursday ; and on Friday it ought to have been at Charing-cross at the same hour ; but, through the inattention of the platelayers, such un fortunately was not the case, because they never, it would seem, referred to the time-table. If they did they must have mistaken the day and he ti, and removed the rails from the s p o t, thinking that the tidal express was not due until. 6 45, which was the time set for its arrival to-day, in consequence of the state of the tide at Folkstone. For the next six days the tidal train is due at Charing-cross at 6 45, and the great misfortune seems to have been incurred by the mistake the men made in removing the rails yesterday and not replacing them before 20 minutes to five. If such turns out to be the actual state of the case the charge against the platelayers will assume a very serious form, and a jury will have to give their opinion as to whether it does not amount to man slaughter. FROM A PASSENGER. When we crossed the channel for England in the afternoon, nothing could be more beautiful than the scene on board the passage-boat. All seemed happy and delighted, and although I have performed the journey on many occasions, I don't think I ever had a more delightful trip, as the sun shone out brilliantly the whole of the time we were afloat, and the sea was without a ripple. We entered the train in waiting at Folkestone, and in a few minutes we were on our road to the metro polis. Just as the train arrived at Staplehurst, and while I was reading the severe comments made in one of the morning papers on the railway accident at Shrewsbury, I and my fellow passengers were startled by a deep and heavy sounding noise ; then followed two terrible jolts or bumps, and, in an instant afterwards, from bright sun shine all became darkness, and, to me, chaos. In a second or two I found myself enveloped in moisture, and then, in the ter rible din, I became conscious that an accident had happened to the train in which I was a pas senger. I found myself afterwards up to my knees in water, in the middle of a heap of broken carriages, amidst which the whole of the party I had seen but a short time ago on board the steamer were lying. The carriages, with one exception, I now discovered had been thrown from the bridge over which the trains pass at Staplehurst into the water below, and death and destruction reigned around. The remains of the shattered carriages were projecting wheels upwards from the water, and the screams of the sufferers were heart rending. Immediately I could relieve myself from the perilous position, I, with some other gentlemen who fortunately escaped with a few bruises and a plunge in the water, endeavoured to extricate some of our less fortunate fellow-passengers. We suc ceeded after great difficulty in getting a female from the muddfbed of the river, all but dead, and as we were assisting another sufferer, Mr. Charles Dickens, the world-renowned novelist, who was a passenger, came upon the scene. He, it appeared, had occu pied a seat in the only carriage that did not go over the bridge, although the chance that it did not do so was the slightest in the world. This carriage, which was the first from the engine, had held firm by the coupling iron to the tender, and thus it was prevented sharing the fate of the others, although it literally hung half upon the line, half down bank, and high above the terrible confusion below. Mr. Dickens was most energetic in the assistance he rendered to his fellow passengers. I heard this gentleman call for brandy for some of the wounded persons, but unfortunately none was at hand, it being with the luggage, or else in the possession of those who were struggling In the river. As brandy was not to be had, Mr. Dickens took off his hat, and having filled it with water, I saw him running about with it and doing his best to revive and comfort every poor crea ture he met who had sustained serious injury. Another gentleman, who I afterwards dis covered to be Mr. Samuel Reed, a gentleman con nected with the Illustrated London News, acted in a praiseworthy manner, for although he had a narrow escape from a terrible death, he with great nerve assisted in extricating those imploring help from beneath the carriages. One lady whom I had particularly noticed on board the steamer as being a very fine and handsome person I saw taken from the water, she had been actually crushed to death, and, as she was laid on the bank, her husband, who had been previously frantically running about exclaiming "My wife, my wife," came up, and when he discovered that the mangled and disfigured corpse was that of her he was in search of, he sat down by the side of the body, a figure of utter despair. I can not dwell upon the terrible scene. It is too much for human nature. Nine or ten persons had been killed, and God knows how many wounded." A telegram kas been received to-day (12 o'clock) from Staplehurst, stating that no further deaths than those announced had become known. The persons whose injuries precluded their removal are all progressing in the most favourable manner. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

An adjourned special meeting of this company was held at Derby on Wednesday; Mr. W. H. Hutchinson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the only bill he had to submit was a bill to authorise the construction of the Skipton and Wharfdale Junction Railway. It started from the Little North-Western Railway near Broughton, and as originally brought in joined the North-Eastern line at Leyburn. The bill was, however, opposed by the North-Eastern Company, and the northern end of the line was not passed. Now it was merely a railway from the neighbourhood of Skipton to Linton, and to the neighbourhood of the valuable lead mines near Grassington. The powers given by the bill were strictly permissive, and they thought if the promoters were willing to construct the line at their own expense it might be worth while for the Midland Railway to work the traffic for them„' The motion for the approval of the bill was carried nem. con., and the meeting was then further adjourned to the loth inst. SOUTH-EASTERN. The adjourned special general meeting of this company were held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, London bridge, to receive the results of the polls demanded on Thursday ; the Hon. J. Byng in the chair. Mr. Smiles, the secretary, read the notice of adjourn ment, and the result of the poll taken in respect of a bill now before Parliament for making an extension line from Greenwich to Woolwich, and also an extension near Maid stone. From the report of the scrutineers, Messrs. Smith and Kerr, it appeared that 54 proprietors present, holding £331,510 stock in the company, and 54 proxies representing £103,050 stock, making together 108 persons in person and by proxylholding in the aggregate£434,s6o stock, recorded their approval of the bill. The number of proprietors pre sent who recorded their votes against the resolution, and in favour of Mr. Hamilton's amendment to postpone the further consideration of the bill was four, holding .43,620 stock, leaving a majority of 104 proprietors, representing £430,940 stock in favour of the bill. Mr. ADAMS said the cause of the minority being so small arose from Mr. Hamilton and his friends not voting on the question. Mr. Hamilton alone held £33,000 stock in the company. The CHAIRMAN declared the motion carried. He had, however, to inform the proprietors that he was not then in a position to declare the, poll on the question of appointing a committee of investigation, as the scrutineers (Mr. G. Smith and lifr. T. Adams) had not made their report. He would, therefore, adjourn the meeting till 12 o'clock on Monday next to receive the result of the poll. Mr. ADAMS said there were three very important points to be decided in respect of the proxies, and that it would be necessary to appoint a referee to decide the question. The CHAIRMAN said that if Mr. Adams would state his objections he would take a legal opinion upon them. Mr. G. SMITH saw no difficulty whatever in the matter. He had asked Mr. Adams to state his objections to the meeting, but he had declined to do so. ; Mr. WATRIN, M.P., deputy chairman, remarked that the object of parties honest in tho transaction was to obtain the immediate declaration of the poll, in order that the com mittee, if appointed, might proceed as soon as they thought fit with their labours. Any man who was honest in this matter would throw over technicalities with a view that the trial that had been challenged might come off at the earliest possible moment. They on the directors' side of the table had done all they could to expedite the investigation, and the objections raised did not come from them. He thought, without breach of confidence, he might state that there were serious objections to Mr. Hamilton's proxies, but the directors had not raised them, because they considered that if gentlemen sent their proxies, whether they were strictly legal or not, it was at all events an expression of their opinion, and that whatever the technicalities might be they had an equitable right to the votes. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceed ings, and the meeting adjourned till Monday. METROPOLITAN. The number of passengers conveyed on this company's railway during Whit Monday was 83,440, being the largest number conveyed in one day on this railway since the opening of the line. RAILWAY BILLS. In the Commons yesterday, in group 9, the consideration of the case of the promoters of the Midland (Barnsley to Kirkburton) Bill was continued ; in group 22 the committee were engaged all day with the clauses of the Caledonian and Scottish Central Amalgamation Bill, the preamble of which had been proved.

It so happens that the ministers of the Established and Free St. Clement's Churches, Footdoe, are both presently enjoying holiday out of town. Arrange ments had consequently been made with two young preachers to supply the respective pulpits ; and accord ingly, in fulfilment of promise, substitute No. 1 arrived at the Free Church vestry in good time to despatch the pre liminary adornments, get the manuscript into exact posi tion, &c. By the time these little needfuls were accom plished, substitute No. 2 came on the ground, when, of course, some conversation took place as to the minister of the church having bespoken two aids. However, guile less of wrong, and in the best humour, taking it for granted that the double supply was a bit of forgetfulness or mal-arrangement on the part of their friend, the parson proper, substitute No. 1 ascended to the pulpit, while No. 2 went and took his seat among the worshippers. The psalm being duly given out, the singing commenced— everything proceeding decently and in order. Meantime, the thought flashed across the mind of a shrewd elder, who had seen the two corners arrive, that possibly one of them might be intended for the Old Zion, whose clergyman, he happened to know, was from home. Forthwith the Free beadle was despatched to make inquiry as to how the land lay over the way, and happening to meet the Established brother of the pass, he learned in hot haste that with him all was barrenness—no help or aid having at ten minutes past 11, the hour of beginning the service, put in appear ance. The mischance was clear as light. Back hurried the Free Church beadle, who hastily informed the occu pant of the pulpit that he was in the wrong box, who thereupon, with all the necessary speed, quitted the place While tho singing was still going on.—Banishire Journal. 5831 THIRD EDITION.

The announcement of Sir Joseph Paxton's death will be received throughout the country with sincere regret. He rose from the ranks to be the greatest gardener of his time, the founder of a new style of architecture, and a man of genius, who devoted it to objects in the highest and noblest sense popular. England is the nursing mother of self-made men, and in this generation the numoer of them has been greater than in any former age. They bring them selves to the front by their natural force, often in spite of many obstacles due to defective early training and education. Society benefits enormously by their achievements, and would, perhaps, be grateful if it knew how; but as a class they are difficult to deal with, and there is something to be said for the indif ferent treatment which they too often receive at its hands. Paxton's great good fortune threw him among persons and engaged him upon objects which made his case from the commencement excepskonal in this respect. Though humbly born, he was still a young man, and in the employ of the Royal Horti cultural Society, when he attracted the attention of the late Duke of Devonshire; and it is a striking example of the opportunities which men of high rank possess of winning reputation that the house of Ca vendish should have had a sensible addition made to its lustre by the judicious selection of a gardener. Under the skill of Paxton the wild Derbyshire region in which Chatsworth stands became the wonderful place which drew visitors from far and near, and set the example of that princely development of grounds and pleasances which now marks the country homes of the great English families. Its fountains and Italian terraces ; its rich woods laid out with such marvellous care ; its hothouses, where the Victoria Regia was first compelled to blossom ; and the great conservatory, which was the precursor of the Crystal Palaces in Hyde Park and at Sydenham—all are now become familiar objects of admiration. But while Chatsworth attracted the loftiest personages as visitors, its grounds were still left freely open to the dense manufacturing popula tions close at hand, and Paxton used always to dwell proudly upon this trait in the character of " my . Duke," as he called him, who was willing to share with the humblest of his countrymen his own pas sion for flowers. It was as a gardener that Paxton first made a name for himself ; but it was in the large sense of the word, as one who by a kind of in stinct had the beautiful in nature at command to embellish the landscape, and without the ordinary processes of scientific study had practically all the laws of plant life at his call. In these delightful pursuits a vigorous, kindly, and sensitive disposition expanded congenially. He had many friends, but they belonged to no set, or party, or clique ; nor was there any thing narrow or sectarian about the man in his rela tions with other men. Friendship was a plant which he loved to cultivate wherever it would grow —among the nobly born if they sought him ; among literary men and artists, with whom he had close , and cherished relations ; among the great captains of in dustry, who appreciated and were proud of him ; but most of all among younger men than himself whom he could help or cheer on their path through life. When the scheme of the first Great Exhibition threatened to fall through for want of a suitable building, this was the man who stepped forward to solve the difficulty. The architects and the engi neers had brought matters to a dead lock, and a great national fiasco, the most humiliating thing that could happen to a practical people like ours, seemed imminent. Then Paxton came with his simple but comprehensive design, and all difficulty vanished. The genial gardener was so clearly and unmistakeably right in what he proposed, and he had so many backers in every direction, that, as if Pro spero's wand had waved, opposition vanished. The fairy structure was erected, and, as all the world well remembers, the greatest triumph of the Great Exhi bition was loudly proclaimed to be the building. So strongly was this felt at the time that a vigorous effort was made to retain it permanently where it stood, and in this Paxton, now Sir Joseph Paxton, strenu ously joined. But the effort failed. The House of Commons would have the Park restored to its pre vious state, and there can be no doubt now that the House decided wisely. While at Kensington the Commissioners of 1851 and the Horticultural Society are struggling with the almost hopeless difficulties of a garden no longer suburban and closely hedged in on every side with chimneys, the old Crystal Palace, removed to the first slope of the Surrey hills, and re constructed there amidst terraces and fountains, and a landscape of surpassing beauty and extent, is a thing by itself in the whole world. It has cost a mil lion and a half of money, but bit by bit its self-sup porting character becomes more firmly established. The railways are every day making it more and more accessible to the huge population of London. Music is getting reconciled to a glass and iron home there, and all this has been done with the money of the people, for their own instruction and recreation, mainly by Paxton. He had many fellow workers, and he was not the man to deny any of them their share, but he was the foremost among them, and we best show our estimate of his performance when we take foreigners there to see and wonder. This was Paxton's " magnum opus," and will now be hismonu ment. He built several great country houses; he was a director of the Midland Railway, and engaged in other commercial and industrial undertakings. Dur ing the Crimean War he organised a Navvy Corps, which did excellent service in road-making and other works for the army. He was also a Member of Parliament, having represented Coventry, as a Liberal, since 1854. But in none of these respects does his name claim more than a passing notice. His real title to the regrets of his contempararies and the regard of those who come after, is the work which he did as a gardener and garden arc hit ec t, the impulse which he has given to the love of th e beautiful in nature, especially among our great town populations ; above all, the English breadth and genuineness of his character, which made him the object of affectionate regard to so many friends. Sir Joseph died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at his house, close to the Crystal Palace. He had been ve ry ill there for some mouths past, but his end came suddenly at last. He was not more than 62 years of age, and was a native of Bedfordshire. A Paris correspondent of the Journal de Genbie says that within the last few days Prince Napoleon, according to the statements of his friends at the Palais Royal and Meudon, "has returned to better sentiments, and that, instead of wishing to brave the Emperor, he is prepared to recognise the fault he has committed. Ire persists nevertheless in his resignation of the vice-presi dency of the Privy Council (which assuredly no one will object to), but he will retain his functions as President of the Universal Exhibition. The resolution is all the more proper, inasmuch as the Prince of Wales, as president of the English Commission, would be forced to resign if Prince Napoleon did not again place himself at the head of the French Commission, the Prince of Wales being unable to act on terms of equality except with a member of the imperial family. A singular fact in natural history has just been observed on the manor of Lavesore, near Decize (Nievre). In the same nest were found eleven eggs of a grey partridge and three of a red one. The nest was closely watched, and after the 14 eggs had been hatched, the red partridge, the one with three young ones only, led the whole band. It is thought that the two mothers had fought for the possession of the brood. Tr.
