ELECTION INTELLIGENCE• AYLESBURY. It is definitely settled that the sitting members for this borough, Mr. T. T. Bernard and Mr. S. G. Smith, will seek re-election at the approaching ge neral election. They are both Conservatives, and possess considerable interest not only in the borough and hundreds of Aylesbury, but also throughout the entire district. As yet, however, they have not issued their addresses to the electors. They will, however, not be allowed to walk over the course, for there will be an opposition in the person of Mr. Nathanael Mayer de Rothschild, whose family con nections have also a great deal :of interest in the landed property of the town and neighbourhood. ASHBURTON. There will be three candidates for the representa tion of this borought The sitting member, Mr. J. H. Astell (Conservative), seeks re-election, and will be opposed by Mr. R. Jardine (Liberal), of the firm of Jardine, Magmack, and Co., London, merchants. Capt. T. E. Rogers, of Wayehouse, Ashburton, has also announced his intention of becoming a candi date, but on which sideis not definitely understood. BODMIN. Lord Ranelaghhas issued a characteristic address, declaring himself a warm supporter of Lord Derby. He is ready to march with the age in the matter of Reform, but it must be a well-timed and well-regu lated march, with my rifle handily at my shoulder. I am opposed to " sloping arms" and " doubling." BUCKINGHAM. The decision of Sir Harry Verney, to the effect that he does not intend to renounce his consti tuents so long as they wish him to represent them, gives much satisfaction to the electors. Since Sir Harry's last vote in favour of the Union Charge ability Bill, taken in conjunction with his other votes, his conduct in Parliament has been such as to further secure for him the fullest confidence and high and sincere respect of the voters gene rally, and when he appeals again to his consti tuents there can be no doubt as to his return at the head of the poll, as on former occasions. With re spect to the other sitting member—Mr. J. G. Hub bard—public feeling is very much divided. The hon. gentleman has given great umbrage to many of the agricultural electors in consequence of his views rela tive to the malt tax, he having more than once ex pressed himself against the remission of that impost; but more particularly his action on the Union Assess ment Committee has been criticised and condemned. CAMBRIDGE. Lieut.-Col. Torrens, one of the Liberal candidates for Cambridge, passed many years of his life in South Australia, where he held the highest offices of State, and took a prominent part in the Legislature. Among the measures initiated by him may be mentioned an act embodying what is called the Torrens's system of conveyancing upon the principle of registration of title to land. This measure, first introduced in South Australia, was, upon the evidence of its beneficial working, adopted in each of the colonies in the Aus tralian group in succession; and Lieut.-Col. Torrens received the thanks of Parliament in four colonies in recognition of these services. Lieut.-Col Torrens ob serves in a lengthy address which he has issued:— " I regard the colonial possessions of this country as con ducing largely to her wealth, power, and standing among the nations of the earth. Our policy in dealing with these possesions should be such as to strengthen the feelings which at present unite us in heartfelt loyalty under a com mon Sovereign. At the same time it is but reasonable that the colonies should be called on to contribute their quota to the external defences of the empire. CHATHAM. The Liberals in this borough are exerting them selves to the utmost to insure the return of Mr. Arthur J. Otway, who was defeated at the last general election by a very narrow majority by Gen. Sir J. M. F. Smith, the present member. From the complete organisation of the party, and the results of the canvass up to the present time, there is little doubt that Mr. Otway, who is exceedingly popular among the mass of the electors, will be re turned by a large majority. On Thursday evening Mr. Otway addressed a crowded meeting of his friends and supporters, and in the course of his speech he announced himself to be a Liberal in the broadest acceptation of the term, and a supporter of every measure which he believed would be for the benefit of the great mass of his fellow-countrymen. He should go into Parliament the firm supporter of a Government which had done so much to promote the comfort and well-being of the working classes, and which during the last few years had remitted some 12 millions of taxes, pressing, for the most part, on the industrious classes. CHELTENHAM. Mr. Chas. Schreiber has just issued an address to the electors of this borough, formally declaring his intention to offer himself as a candidate for its re presentation in the Conservative interest. Mr. Schreiber disclaims all sympathy with secret voting, is favourable to an equitable adjustment of church rates, but determined to resist their unconditional abolition, and is of opinion that a £lO county and £6 borough franchise, while involving serious organic changes, furnish no solution of the difficulty of Parliamentary Reform. COVENTRY. The immediate vacancy just created in the repre sentation of this city by the death of Sir Joseph Paxton has produced extraordinary excitement aknong the electors, who are looking forward to the contest with the deepest interest. Every , effort will be made to prevent the representation of this popular constituency from falling into the hands of the Tories. It has now been finally I decided that Mr. T. Mason Jones is to contest the vacant seat in the Liberal interest, against Mr. H. W. Eaton, the Tory candidate. Both of these gentlemen have just issued brief ad dresses announcing their intentions, and Mr. Jones has delivered a preliminary speech to the electors, in which, after paying an eloquent tribute to the memory of the late member, he declares his determination to sustain the double contest. His chance of success has greatly improved during the last few days ; the Liberals of all shades, find ing that the great body of the people are in his favour, having decided to unite in securing his return. DERBYSHIRE (SOUTH). On Saturday evening a crowded meeting of elec tors of the Melbourne division of South Derbyshire was held in the Athenaeum-room of that town for the purpose of presenting a requisition to Mr. C. R. Colvile, of Lullington, asking him to again come forward as one of the Liberal candidates for that division of the county. Mr. Colvile represented South Derbyshire for 18 years, but retired at the election of 1859 through ill health. The Hon. A. H. Vernon then became the Liberal candidate, but was defeated by Mr. Mundy (Conservative) by a majority of one, which was obtained by Mr. Mundy voting for himself. Th e p resen t mem b ers are M r . Mundy (Conservative) and Mr. Evans (Liberal), and the he a d s of each party have expressed a wish that the count— : shall not be disturbed. ESSEX. The Conservative candidates for North Essex, C. Du Majorßeresford and M r. Cane, are continu ing their canvass ve ry energetically. On Thursday they will address a meeting at Harwich, and on the following day they will be at Thorpe, Mr. 11. J. Selwin is expected to be returned unopposed in South Essex in the Conservative interest, together with Mr. R. B. Wingfield Baker (Liberal). Mr. Selw . ul has issued his addres s to the constit uency, in which he denounces the malt-tax, and states that he had hoped to see the Government bring forward Some solution of the much vexed question of church rates. EXETER. The Liberal Registration Society of this city have just decided that it would not be expedient to provoke a contest by bringing forward another candidate in conjunction with Mr, Coleridge. The only Con servative candidate at present in the field is Lord Courtenay, who defeated Mr. Coleridge at the recant election upon the death of Mr. Divett. Should the Conservatives, however, bring forward another candidate, the Liberals will, it is said, not shrink from contesting both seats. GREAT MARLOW. The present Conservative repre3 , iltzliives of this borough, Colonel T. 'Peers Williams and Colonel Brownlow W. Knox, will again solicit the suffrages of the electors at the approaching election ; but it is rumoured that opposition is to be offered to one of them by a resident possessing great local interest in the Liberal cause. GREAT YARMOUTH. A meeting of Liberal electors has invited Mr. A. Brogden and Mr. C. Marshman to contest this borough in opposition to Sir E. H. K. Lacon and Mr. J. Goodson. Mr. Brogden is a gentleman largely connected with the iron trade of Lancashire and South Wales. Mr. Marshman is brother-in-law of the late Sir H. Havelock, and is well known as a writer and speaker on Indian topics. GUILDFORD. The friends and supporters of Mr. G. M. E. On slow, the Libeial member for this borough, have resolved to support him as one of the Liberal can didates at the pending election. They will take him to the poll free of expense. HASTINGS. Addresses have been issued by Mr. F. North and the Hon. G. Waldegrave-Leslie, the present Libe ral members, intimating their intention to stand for re-election. On the part of the Conservatives Mr. J. E. Gorst—a returned colonist and a mem ber of the bar—has been brought forward as a colleague with Mr. P. F. Robertson, deputy-chairman of the London Assurance Corpo ration. Both parties are actively canvassing, and the Liberals have every reason to expect success. On Friday Messrs. North and Leslie addressed the electors in the Music-hall. Both gentlemen said that they had supported Mr. Baines's bill in the hope of being enabled to amend it in committee. Mr. North said he would like to see an extension of the suffrage in the direction of the educated artisan. A vote of confidence in the sitting members was una nimously passed. HIGH WYCOINIBE. As yet no intimation has been made that Mr. J. R. Mills and Mr. Martin Tucker Smith will not be allowed to resume their seats in the next Parliament without opposition. Mr. Mills is a Liberal, and his seat, at any rate, is said to be secure. IPSIVICII. Addresses have appeared in the Conservative in terest from Mr: J. C. Cobbold, one of the sitting members, and Mr. W. Tidmas, who solicits the honour of being returned as his colleague. Mr. Cobbold abstains from making any statement of his political principles, which he states are sufficiently known by his recorded votes. Mr. Tidmas states that he shall give a general though not a servile support to the Conservative party in the house. KNARESBOROUGH. Mr. Isaac Holden, manufacturer, of Oakworth house, Keighley, the Liberal candidate for the re presentation of this borough, has issued an address to the electors and non-electors, declaring his adhe sion to the party of progress. MERTHYR AND ABERDARE. An opposition is expected in these united towns at the general election. The present member is the Right Hon. Henry Austin Bruce, one of the Under Secretaries of State, and the new candidate is Mr. Edward E. Elderton, of the Temple. Mr. Elder ton has issued a preliminary address, in which he assures the electors he is still " the unflinching advo cate of civil and religious liberty in the largest ac ceptation of the term, and of peace, retrenchment, and reform, which are so essentially necssary for the welfare of the kingdom, and adapted to the age we live in." When Mr. Bruce was elected in 1855 he received an overwhelming majority, and there seems little prospect of any change in the opinions of the electors. The only matter of difference with Mr. Bruce and his constituents is his refusal to support the ballot, and we cnn hardly imagine that upon this matter alone Mr. Elderton can hope to be elected, as upon all other subjects there exists the greatest unanimity between Mr. Bruce and his supporters. NORTH DURHAM. Mr. Duneombe Shafto and Sir lledworth William son, the Liberal members for the northern division of Durham, issued addresses to the electors on Satur day. Mr. Shafto, after expressing his intention to ask a renewal of the trust so generously confided to him during the last 18 years, observes : " I can fearlessly say that I have strictly acted up to those professions of opinion which obtained me your con fidence in 1847, and which from that time up to the present have secured my election without a contest." Sir Hedworth Williamson says : "I have thought it my duty to give a general and inde pendent support to the present government, the wisdom of whose foreign policy has been proved by the successful maintenance of peace abroad under no ordinary difficulties, while contentment at home, a large reduction of expendi ture, and a considerable remission of taxation, without de triment to the efficiency of our establishments, have, in my judgment, shown that their domestic administration deserves the public confidence." The supporters of the Hon. G. W. Barrington, the Conservative candidate, have commenced an active canvass on his behalf. This, no doubt, will bring the sitting members into the field. NORTH SHROPSHIRE. Lord A. L. Gower, who has been requested by the Liberal party to become a candidate for the northern division of Shropshire, has issued an ad dress, in which he declares himself a supporter of the Ministry of Lord Palmerston. He advocates a reduction of the malt-tax, and an enlargement of the electoral franchise. NORWICH. On Friday evening Mr. E. Warner, M.P., met the advanced Liberal portion of his constituents. Mr. Warner answered the questions addressed to him to the satisfaction of the meeting,which adopted a vote of confidence in him. The Liberal party of Norwich may thus be again regarded as united in support of the sitting members, Mr. Warner and Sir W. Russell. OXFORD (CITY). Mr. Charles Neate has issued an address, which has closely followed that of his colleague, the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell. In it Mr. Neate says : "You are now, or shortly will be, called upon to bear your part in a general election which will be of more than usual importance in determining for some years, at any rate, by what party the country shall be governed, and in what way ; and in again soliciting the honour of your suffrages, I am bound to tell you more fully than I did on the last occasion what I think upon these points. As to the first, I.:need hardly say that I am still the constant follower of that great Liberal party which, with little interruption, during more than 30 years, has so ably administered the go vernment of the country, so wisely reformed its institutions, and which, whether we are to go on or stand still, is the best able to improve its own work, and the best entitled to maintain it. I hope that the different sections of that great party will continue in the next Parliament to maintain the same union which has been happily preserved between them during the Parliament now about to end. Should that union be unhappily suspended for a time I shall be found in the ranks of the most forward division. There will not be wanting in the new Parliament questions of a nature to test the principles and the reach of the different classes of Liberalism. Of those questions the first in import ance, if not in time, will be the reform of ourrepresontation of which the settlement, if not accomplished in the first session, can hardly be delayed beyond the second. Upon this point much difference of opinion exists even among Liberals. I have myself voted twice, and should vote again for the extension of the franchise to the £6 householder, but I am not prepared to commit myself irrevocably to that particular measure and manner of qualification, and should be prepared to acquiesce in any proposal which might be agreed on by the bulk of the Liberal party, and which, if adopted, would make any considerable addition to the re presentation of tho working class." SANDWICH. There is a probability that an opposition, will be got up to the re-election of Lord C. Paget and Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen, the sitting members for the united boroughs of Sandwich, Deal, and Walmer, The Conservatives have held several meetings, and it is said they intend bringing forward the chairman of the Downs Harbour and Dock Company. The Conservative Land Societyhas acquired considerable influence inDeal by the purchase of the naval yard, and allotting the land for building purposes, but the Liberals have little fear that the re-election of either of their members will be seriously jeopardised by any opposition that can be brought against them. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Champley has signified his intention of retir ing from the contest, his political connexion with the present sitting member, Sir John Johnstone, being such as might militate against Sir John John stone's position as a candidate. SOUTH DURHAM. The Liberal electors residing within the polling district of Stockton have met in that town and una nimously approved of Mr. Joseph Whitwell Pease as a Liberal candidate, in connexion with Capt. Beau mont, for the southern division of Durham. In con junction with the Darlington electors, they are get ting up a strong requisition to Mr. Pease, and there seems every certainty that if he accepts it, of which there is no doubt, the two Liberals will be elected. SOUTH WILTS. The addresses of Lord 11. Thynne and Lieut.-Col. Bathurst, who offer themselves for re-election, ap peared in our last impression. They are both now busily engaged in waiting on the electors, and Mr. T. Fraser Grove, who is to contest the division on independent (Liberal Conservative) principles, is likewise actively canvassing the constituency, and has pledged himself to go to the poll on the day of election. It is understood that his chances of suc cess are very favourable, and a close contest is anti cipated on all sidez. In his address to the electors, which was issued on Saturday, he says :-- "I believe that both the home and foreign policy which has hitherto been pursued by Lord Palmerston has generally been deserving of the approval of this country, and so long as such continues to be the case I shall certainly support his Government. Being myself the owner of landed pro perty in the county, and also the occupier of a considerable farm, I naturally am deeply concerned in all that relates to the agricultural interest, and the stake that I have in the matter will, I trust, be a sufficient gaarantee that I shall heartily support any measure likely to tend to its well doing." ST. IVES. It is stated that the Liberals of this small Cor nish borough will endeavour to gain this seat, now for many years past held by the Tories. There is no doubt that the Liberals have improved their position since the last election, and if they are able to get a good local candidate a close contest will certainly take place. No gentleman has yet been fixed upon. Mr. Paul will seek re-election. SUNDERLAND. Mr. Alderman Hartley, the Liberal Conservative candidate for this borough, has issued his address. Like Mr. Candlish's, it is a lengthy document. Mr. Hartley says : " My principles aro those of Conservative progress. It is no part of my political creed to rest and bo thankful ;' for to stand still is to retrograde. I shall, therefore, support • all measures of improvement and reform needed by the on ward progress of society and the advancing knowledge of the people. I deem the electoral franchise too much limited, and am prepared to add thereto numbers who are entitled to it from their intellectual capacity, moral worth, and social position. Any well-devised measure of reform having for its object the enfranchisement of the prudent and intel ligent of all classes, and also a re-distribution of seats, shall have my hearty support. That such small boroughs as Richmond, Thirsk, Northallerton, &c., should return mem bers to Parliament, while populous and wealthy hives of industry, like the Hartlepools, Middlesborough, Stockton, Darlington, &c., remain unrepresented, can no longer be justified. I am opposed to secret voting. The disadvantages attributed to open voting seem to my mind to be greatly exaggerated, and equally so the proportion of electors co erced to vote contrary to their conscience. I agree with the majority of the leading statesmen of all parties that the franchise is a trust to be exercised publicly in like manner as the vote of a legislator. As a member of the Established Church I shall advocate all reforms calculated to increase her efficiency in working out her high mission ; and to re lieve those who dissent from her doctrine or discipline, I am prepared to vote for the abolition of church rates, with the fullest confidence that the free contributions' of her members will more than fill up the void. Such an infusion of the voluntary element my experience gives me every confidence in believing will do her good service." Mr. H. W. Fenwick, the sitting member, has likewise issued an address. Mr. Fenwick observes : "I shall continue to give an independent support to Lord Palmerston's Government. In times of great difficulty, and I may add of great provocation, the adhesion on the part of this country to the principles of non-intervention has se cured to her the blessings of peace. During the Parliament about to close, while taxation has been reduced, the revenue has increased, and the efficiency of the public service has been maintained. While reducing the income tax for the benefit of the comparatively rich, the necessaries of life consumed by the sons of labour have not been forgotten. Hence we have increasing wealth, contentment, and happiness throughout the land. I desire that this state of things may continue and advance, and I believe that one means of securing it would be to invest with the privileges of the constitution many who are now without its pale. Any Government which would retain the confidence of the country must be prepared to deal with this question, and that, too, in a large, liberal, and confiding spirit." The contest is likely to be very close. THE AYR BOROUGHS. Ms. Oswald, of Auchencruive, has issued an ad dress, in which he says-- " I shall be prepared to support all measures which tend to increase the material prosperity of the country, in late years so largely extended by economical and fiscal changes, some of which caused great and even bitter differences of opinion, but on which there happily is now a nearly unanimous concurrence. The present House of Commons was summoned for the purpose of settling the question of a reform of that body. But although various bills have been brought in, both by the Government and private members, none have passed into law. It is needless now to inquire into the causes of what appears an anomaly. I shall content myself with saying that I shall be prepared to support a measure, moderately and wisely framed, which shall have the effect of adding to the con stituent body persons of intelligence, probity and indus trious habits, who aro now excluded from a voice in the choice of members of Parliament, provided that this in crease does not tend to a fundamental change in the Con stitution, which Ido not think desirable. I shall only add that I think Scotland entitled, should there be a re-distri bution of seats, to a larger number." TOTNES. Mr. P. C. Kennard, a banker, of London, has been announced as a Conservative candidate for this borough. Mr. Kennard and Mr. Pender are co-directors of the Consolidated Bank, and, though political foes, are personal friends. Mr. Kennard is brother of Mr. R. W. Kennard, M.P. for Newport, Isle of Wight, and brother-in-law of Lieut.-Colonel Edwards, M.P. for Beverley. TYNEMOUTH. Mr. G. 0. Trevelyan, the Liberal candidate for this borough, has published an address. Mr. Tre velyan says : " I am a frank and uncompromising advocate for the abolition of church rates. On the question of Parliamentary Reform, I think that the diffusion of education demands an extension of the franchise ; and a well-considered measure of Liberal tendency, such as a .£6 rental qualification, would have my zealous support. lam of opinion that the voter should have the protection of the ballot. Highly as I rate the blessing of temperance, I am too jealous of Govern ment interference with personal liberty and private judg ment to invoke it even in so good a cause. I have served a severe apprenticeship to public business under my father, the Financial Minister of India, and during a long resi dence at the first-class port of Calcutta I have obtained an intimate knowledge of the shipping relations between Eng land and the East—a knowledge which, if I find favour in your eyes, I shall lose no opportunity of approving and turning to your account. I am interested in observing the satisfactory progress made in the matter of the dock at the Low Lights. Every influence which I can bring to bear will be devoted to the further ance of this great project. Should it be your pleasure to elect me, you will have at your service an Independent Liberal, bound to no party ; asking nothing for himself ; trammelled by no professional ties ; ready and able to devote his time and energies to further the welfare of the nation, and to foster those local interests which his con nexion with your borough enables him fully and thoroughly to understand." The contest, as it has been on several previous elections, is certain to be extremely close, as Mr. Richard Hodgson, the sitting member, is supported by a considerable body of the shipowners. WEST NORFOLK. There is now every prospect of a severe contest in this constituency. Both parties have rallied their forces, the Conservatives in support of Mr. G. W. P. Bentinek, M.P., and the Hon. T. De Grey, and the Liberals on behalf of Mr. Brampton Gordon, M.P., and Sir Willoughby Jones. Mr. Bentinck's address is vague and brief. WIGTOWNSHIRE. Viscount Garlies has come forward to oppose Sir Andrew Agnew for the representation of this country. In his address, he says :-- "Standing pre-eminent among nations as this country. does, I should wish to see her time-tried Constitution re main fundamentally unimpaired. Therefore I declare myself a Conservative, —although quite prepared to sup port measures having for their object the progressive im provement of our institutions and the further prosperity and contentment of the people." WILTON. For this borough it is not anticipated that there will be any opposition to the re-election of the pre sent member. Mr. Antrobus in his address to the electors avows himself a constant but independent supporter of the policy of Lord Palmerston. The Catastrophe on the South• Eastern Railway. THE INQUEST. The inquest was held at four o'clock on Saturday, at the South-Eastern public-house, before Mr.W. J. Neve, coroner for East Kent. Mr. Eborall, the general manager ; Mr. Knight, the traffic superintendent ; and Mr. Harris, the deputy-superintendent, were present to watch the case on behalf of the company. Mr. Vining, of No. 4, Moorgate street-buildings, watched on behalf of Mr. Whitby, a mer chant of Lierpool, whose wife was killed. The jury having been sworn, with the Rev. Robert Moore as chairman, the coroner said : "Gentlemen,—You are summoned here to-day to make inquiry into the most lamentable accident which has ever happened on the main lino of this rail. You are about to inquire into the cause of the death of 10 persons who were in the tidal train yesterday on this line, and which ran off the line at a place not far from hero, which was under re pair at the time. In the course of the proceedings you will have to inquire who has been to blame. Whether the man who managed the repairs was making them at an improper time, or whether the signalman has cora mited a breach of duty in not giving proper notice, or whether the driver of the train was guilty of gross neglect in not giving his attention to signals. To day we had better confine ourselves to the simple identi fication of the bodies and the medical evidence as to the immediate cause of death, and then adjourn to some day which will be convenient to all parties, when the' more important question can be gone into. lam informed that ono of the directors is present, and the general manager also, and they aro willing to afford you every opportunity of going down to the spot, and all necessary information within their power as to the cause of this sad calamity. Mr. Beattie said that he had come down as a director of the railway company, and he need hardly speak of the very great and severe distress which the directors felt at such a most dreadful accident to a service which had been con ducted with amazing safety to the public, and the jury might well suppose what poignant distress it had caused them under the circumstances The directors were anxious the inquiry should be as deep and as searching as possible, to discover the cause of the calamity and to prevent its re currence. The jury then proceeded to view the bodies and the steno of the disaster, and on their return the following evidence was called:— Lloyd Rayner, of Liverpool, merchant, identified the body of his wife, Amelia Rayner. He had a letter from her the day before when she left Paris, on her way to Liverpool. He had six children. He last saw her alive nearly a month ago in Liverpool. She was 37 years of age. Frederick Bodenham, solicitor, of Hereford, identified the body of his wife. Her name was Anna. She was a passenger with witness in the tidal train. She has loft no family. She was 28 years of ago. Witness himself was not seriously injured. He last saw her alive at tho mo ment of the accident, and heard her speak then. It was one of the middle first-class railway carriages that fell into the water. Witness was thrown into the water. She died four or five minutes after he found her, when ho came to his own senses. Witness desired to add that the train was going at the same speed when it went off the line as before. By the Rev. Mr. Moore (the foreman of the jury)—The breaks were not on. The speed was the same as usual. It is a goods train. John Lomax, of Bolton-le-Moors, auctioneer, identified Adam Hampson, who lived at tho same place as witness did. Ho was a surgeon, about 41 years of age, and was on his way from Paris to London. George Whitby, of 24, St. James's-street, London, mer chant, identified the body of his wife, Lydia. She was 28 years of ago. Witness was not travelling with her, but he expected her by the tidal train. Rev. Arther Thompson, the British Chaplain at St. Petersburg, and of 3, Upper George-street, Bryanston square, identified Caroline Wyto, formerly of Regency square, Brighton, but now a traveller in various parts. She was coming to stop at witness's house. She was between 45 and 50, as witness believed. Richard Christopher Mansell, one of the officers of the South-Eastern Railway (carriage and waggon superinten dent at Ashford), deposed to his being on the scene of the disaster about four o'clock. He received notice by tele gram from the station-master at Ashford, and proceeded immediately with a train of carriages. He had seen the bodies of nine persons, and one had been sent away pre viously. Witness knew they were all taken from the wreck of the tidal train, and saw them laid together. All the bodies the jury had seen were taken from the wreck of that train. No doubt their deaths were caused by the falling of a train. Thero was a body removed which a Mr. Faithful identified as his wife, and that body the jury had not seen. She was lying dead on the railway, and her husband was by her side. Witness knew nothing of any of the deceased personally. David 0 venden, superintendent of the Kent County Police of the Cranbrook division, had searched the bodies, and found papers and other articles on them. There is one, a man, still unrecognised, with socks marked "H. M.," apparently from 35 to 40 years of ago. By the Jury—There were no papers or documents about him. By the Coroner—On searching the body of a young lady richly attired witness found an envelope, addressed " Miss Beaumont, 11, Rue de Chaillot, Champs Elys6es, Paris." Tho post mark was "Lincoln." Another lady had her linen marked "H. Cundliff," and there was reason to be lieve she was the wife of a gentleman now lying here in jured. By the Solicitor to the c ompany —Witness did not see her pocket handkerchief. John Hill Elder, of 333, City-road, Islington, accountant, identified James Dunn, who had resided at the same house as witness, and by business was a warehouseman at Messrs. Leaf and Co.'s, 39, Old Change. Witness ex p ec t e d hi m by the tidal train from Paris to go by a train the same eve ni ng to John Frederick He was 36 Williams, or3 surgeon at Staplehurst, 7, and a single m an . de posed—l was called by a railway porter to the scone of the accident about half-past three yesterday. I saw the nine bodies taken out which the jury have seen. I have examined some ; others did not require it, the cause of death being apparent. Some were quite dead, others were not. The deaths were all caused by injury from the accident or drowning. There wore seven females, one of whom the jury, I believe, have not seen. There were three males. I believe they were all dead before they were removed, but I left the train to attend to the injured, to whom I could do some good. The coroner said it would be necessary to view the sole remaining body, and further evidence was requisite as to the identification of three of the bodies, and they might also have the advantage of assistance from a Government inspector. gentleman said he could identify one of them. Sidney Samuel Simkin was then sworn, and deposed that ho was a schoolmaster at Staplehurst. He took care of a Mr. Cundliff, who had been injured, and he described the dress and the appearance of ono of the deceased, and it corresponded completely. Ho did not describe whore he was travelling from. He was suffering very much. At this stage of the inquiry the jury proceeded to the house of Mr. Reeves, to take evidence as to the identity of Mrs. Faithful, and then adjourned the inquiry till Mon day next at half-past two o'clock. LATEST PARTICULARS. STAPLEHURST, Sunday Night. The whole of the wreck of the train has now been raised, and we are happy to state that the forebodings that other bodies would be found underneath one of the carriages have not been realised. The total number of deaths is therefore no more than ten. Up to 6 o'clock this evening the remains of the gentleman whose linen was marked with the initials "H. M." h ave not been identified. This is the only case in which id en tif ic ation has not taken place. The injured who have survived are getting on favour ably; no further fatalities are expected. Master Rayner, the young son of Mrs. Amelia Rayner, of Liverpool, who was killed, is suffering from a broken leg. He is progress ing as well as can be expected, but he cannot at present bo removed home. Mr. Eborall, the manager, Mr. Harris, and other gentle men connected with the railway, have been down hero all day, and have ben unremitting in their exertions to pro cure aid for the unhappy sufferers. Every facility has been given to the relatives of those injured to visit them here. There is now no doubt whatever as to the exact cause of the accident. The platelayer Bengo admitted to Mr. Eborall that ho had imagined that tho statement in the time book referring to Saturday, that the tidal ti ain would be duo at five o'clock, had reference to Friday, and that he therefore removed the metals at the bridge at two o'clock, calculating that he would have ample time to replace them before the train was due. But it turned out that on Fri day (as the platelayer might have readin the book) the train was due at 3 o'clock, and it consequently came to a spot at a moment when there was a space of 10 feet without rails, and thus this terrible calamity took place. On inquiring at Guy's Hospital we were informed that Mr. Le Marchant, who was conveyed thither seriously in jured, is progressing satisfactorily. SPIRIT OF THE PITBLIO JOURNALS. " THE SATURDAY REVIEW" ON THE CONSERVA TIVES.—In personal merit the leaders of the Oppo sition compete with their antagonists on tolerably equal terms. Although no member of the Liberal party would think it right to vote for Mr. Disraeli, any caprice of the Buckinghamshire electors which should exclude him from the House of Commons would cause general regret. If Mr. Disraeli repre sents no opinion or conviction, he vindicates the claims of personal ability and vigour. lie forced himself on his party nearly twenty years ago, and he has since successfully defied internal jealousy and dissatisfaction. Although his judgment is often un sound, he baffles his opponents by the non-coinci dence of his own weak points with the characteristic defects of his party and his cause. It would be ab surd to taunt Mr. Disraeli with bigotry and preju dice, and on the other hand, his clients in the country house, the parsonage, and the farm are not open to the charge of Machiavellian insincerity. The gift of critical sarcasm is one of the most valuable qua lifications for the post of an Opposition leader, for a Minister who sees Mr. Disraeli watching him from the opposite bench has strong motives for abstain ing from any act of conspicuous absurdity. The minor accomplishment of skill and propriety in ceremonial observances is not to be altogether de spised. With the exception of Lord Palmerston, Mr. Disraeli is almost the only leading member of either house who can be trusted to deliver a formal eulogium on the dead. Many years ago he com mitted a strange blunder in his borrowed speech on the Duke of Wellington, but his stately and elabo rate tributes to Mr. Cobden and Mr. Lincoln con trasted favourably with the less felicitous addresses of his rivals. Lord Palmerston himself, though he never trangresses on such occasions the limits of good taste, is perhaps too elaborately and consciously commonplace. In the conduct of Parliamentary struggles the relative superiority is reversed. Mr. Disraeli has more of the nature of an artist, but Lord Palmerston is by far the more adroit tactician. Na tional instincts and popular sympathies of his own, carefully cultivated and sedulously displayed, are among the most useful possessions of a statesman. A politician who depends exclusively on intellectual speculation is as much at a loss as a weather-pro phet without a barometer. A competitor not less formidable than Lord Palmerston shares with Mr: Disraeli a certain incapacity to think or to feel with the world of Englishmen ; but Mr. Gladstone has greatly the advantage of his rival in eloquence and in knowledge of business. In finance, in statistics, in political economy, and in familiarity with admi nistration, Mr. Disraeli is only a brilliant amateur ; and when things rather than persons are under dis cussion, he is too often a tiresome speaker. Of his former colleagues and political allies, there are seve ral who could ill be spared from the House of Com mons. Mr. Henley has long since established his character as a sagacious humourist and a thorough man of business. General Peel is perhaps person ally the most popular leader of the party, which trusts him with a confidence scarcely accorded to his chief. Sir John Pakington, though he is the most wearisome of orators, serves his cause by a tendency to liberal opinions on questions of educa tion. Mr. Walpole, while he represents too faith fully the prejudices of his rural constituents, com mands respect and esteem by the cultivation and re finement which befit the member for a univer sity. Mr. Gathorne Hardy was born to be Home Secretary in a Conservative Government, and in the meantime to defend by plausible arguments every good orbad institution which happens to be attacked. Lord Stanley is a statesman of higher pretensions, and probably of loftier ambition, but it is evidently only by accident and family connection that he re mains in his present position. Although public expediency is the only legitimate test of institutions, the adherents of Church and State regard utilitarian advocates with involuntary suspicion. In some future combination or coalition Lord Stanley will find fitter occupation for his energy and untiring industry. On opposite grounds, the veterans of the party regard with hesitating approval the active and energetic consistency of Lord R. Cecil. Truth, perhaps, can not be too boldly asserted, nor error too resolutely denounced, but elderly politicians are accustomed to hold principles which they have no desire to push to their extreme logical results. Another times more timid Conservatives probably appreciate the vigour of a combatant who never spares his opponents ; and, as Lord R. Cecil is exempt from pedantry and fanaticism, he will certainly hold high rank in his party. If Lord Derby should either obtain a ma jority at the elections or find an opening through the dissensions of his antagonists, he will have no dif ficulty in forming a Cabinet, especially as he has, in Sir S. Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer who, having drifted into the party by accident, will sedulously adhere to the theory and practice of Mr. Gladstone. The most conspicuous errors of Conservative policy were gratuitously committed by Mr. Disraeli and Lord Derby himself, at a time when the whole country, including the great majo rity of the Conservatives themselves, was deeply in terested in the regeneration of Italy. The interest of foreign affairs has now receded into the back ground, and though Englishmen generally think that the Continent requires political changes, they are not hasty to alter their own institutions. The party which is supported by more than half the wealth and half the respectability of the country ought to possess a considerable share of political in fluence ; and though its functions are perhaps best discharged in opposition, it is desirable that, in case of need, it should be competent for office. On Lord Palmerston's retirement, it is possible that personal incompatibilities may shake the Liberal predomi nance which lasted so long. The Conservatives have, by lapse of time, shaken themselves free from many of the anomalies-with which they were for merly hampered; and if they are judiciously led, they may perhaps not only succeed to power, but retain it for a considerable time. "THE SPECTATOR" ON METROPOLITAN WORK HOUSE HOSPITALS.—The attention of the public having been directed to the treatment of the sick paupers in workhouse hospitals, particularly by the case of Daly at the Holborn and that of Gibson at the St. Giles's Workhouse, we are gratified to find that the Poor-Law Board are directing such in quiries to be made as will fully expose the defects of the present management, and suggest remedies for their removal. A report has just been printed for the House of Commons which shows the condi tion of these hospitals, particularly in respect to the amount and nature of the accommodation of the sanitary arrangements, the character of disorders admitted for treatment, and the kind of nursing provided for their care. With respect to the amount of accommodation, we find that of the male hospi tals in the 35 Unions of the Metropolitan district from which correct returns were made, 10 were full, 3 were overflowing, and 13 had spare beds not ex ceeding 10 in number ; so that in 26 workhouses the hospitals may be said to be quite full. The female hospitals are somewhat less crowded ; in 7 cases, however, they were quite full, in 1 overflowing ; and we have heard that it is the practice to make up beds upon the floor in order to supply the extra accommodation thus required. Two work houses alone appear to be provided with a large number of spare beds, and when we find that there are besides the sick in hospital 6,549 aged and in firm persons who require constant medical care, we cannot help thinking that many of these would be better in hospital, provided there was room for them. In the next place, we observe that the kind of accommodation is extremely defective. There are 461 wards, of which the cubic contents are given and the number of beds. In more than three-fourths the space allotted to each bed does not exceed 600 cubic feet, whilst in 33 instances it is less than 400 cubic feet. The regulation of the Poor-Law Board provides that each sick bed shall be provided with 500 cubic feet of space, but this regulation is evaded in 185 instances, showing the great necessity of placing these hospitals under competent medical in spection ; but it may be remarked that the provision of the Poor-Law Board is much too little. In the Army every hospital bed must have 1,200 cubic feet of space ; in the metropolitan charities, from 1,300 to 1,500 cubic feet is the very lowest estimate, whilst the wards of several contain 1,700 cubic feet, and one at least 2,000. There is no poison so subtle or depressing as the emanations from the sick, and no remedy so cheap or so effectual as a large space and unlimited supply of fresh air. Cure is all but im possible, and convalescence is always retarded in confined sick wards, and it is to be feared that the enormous amount of chronic disease which incum bers the workhouse hospitals must be greatly increased from this cause. There are at the present time no less than 6,400 sick in the workhouse hos pitals, of which not quite one-third are acute cases susceptible of cure. As the able-bodied inmates form a proportion of only 13 per cent., there is scarcely any of this class who can bo spared from the household duties which the large proportion of aged, infirm, and children necessarily entails. What, then, are the means provided for nursing the sick ? In 41 workhouses there are 71 paid nurses, but as 30 of them are employed at St. Pancras and Maryle bone, there remain 41 nurses for 39 Workhouses. 13 hospitals have no paid nurses, and 16 have only one each. In two of these the persons so returned act in the capacity of assistant-matrons, and have but little to do with the management of the sick, who are therefore committed to the care of paupers suffering from old age or infirmity of some kind. There are 859 pauper nurses—of 11 employed at - one place 6 are over 70 years of age, and only one is less than 50. Of 7 employed at another the majority are over 60, and they have charge of 83 beds, nearly all full, without any paid assistance whatever. Such a state of things surely cannot last in this civilised country. In Paris we cannot visit any quarter of the city without being struck with the palaces which have been converted into hospitals for the incurable and aged. We have so neglected a great duty. We have consigned the sick, aged, and infirm to workhouses, which were intended as a test to prevent imposition upon the poor-rates. They are no longer inhabited by the idle and dissolute, but by those whow age or mis fortunes should entitle them to better fare. We hear that the Workhouse Visiting Society, which has for so long a time past directed its attention to this important subject, has urged upon the Poor law Board the importance of placing those and similar hospitals under the inspection of competent medical men. Such inspectors are found necessary in the army and navy hospitals,and asylums for the insane. This department of the public medical service is the only one not subject to medical control, and we cordially hope that the recommendation of the society will be speedily attended to. THE " EXAMINER" - ON THE COTTON SUPPLY.— Kirby Smith has surrendered all the forces of the late Confederacy in the States beyond the Missis sippi, and the great American Civil War is by that act brought completely to an end. The Cotton Famine also, if it really deserved this name, has passed away, leaving us unscathed ; an ever memo rable proof of the strength and elasticity of the in dustry of these kingdoms. The country which had furnished us with the largest and the best part of the raw material of our chief manufacture, and on which its very existence was thought to depend, has been in the throes of a mighty civil war for four long years, and had nearly ceased to supply us alto gether, yet we have not only not been overwhelmed by this catastrophe, as many expected, but, on the contrary, our manufactures and our commerce have greatly increased. The cotton manufacture no doubt declined when it had to pay a three and four fold price for its raw material, but the sister manu factures of wool and flax and hemp sustained a great increase. Our exports to the belligerents of Ame rica fell off by at least one-fourth in value—a loss compensated by a two-fold increase in our exports to France. But what, it may be asked, will be the ultimate effect of the American Civil War on our own industry ? In so far as the contest of armies is concerned, the war is at an end. After heroic exertions on both sides, such as the history of man affords no example of, six millions of Anglo-Saxons have, after a four years' contest without a navy, been overpowered by three times the number of the same race with a powerful navy. The minority is ruined in its political position, in its liberty, and in it property, and to restore its chief industry, the growth of cotton, to what it was four years ago, when the servile labourers by whose means it was conducted have been emancipated by force and without remuneration, will not be possible for, at least, a generation. The victorious majority has, in four years, incurred a debt the interest of which will probably not fall short of that of our own debt, which it has taken near two centuries to incur. The bold proposal has been made, to pay off the whole debt by voluntary subscription. But if it be found labour enough to pay the interest upon it by the requisite taxation, to pay this interest and to sup port great fleets and armies, indispensable to main tenance of authority over a conquered people bred to freedom, and occupying a territory as great in extent as that of the conquerors themselves, burden some taxes must, of necessity, be imposed. We may very reasonably fear then, that to restore the Ame rican Union to the condition in which it was four years ago will be most difficult, an overpowering incongruity in its elements discouraging the hope of an harmonious Union. Let us glance, however, at our own prospects of a supply, in cotton, in so far as it depends on America. Before the Civil War, the value of our whole supply of cotton was, in round numbers, £38,000,000, of which the United States, that is the insurgent States, yielded £24,000,000 worth. The quantity imported from all countries has fallen off by not less than one-half, but the diminished quantity has increased in price, and for half a supply we have been paying at least £60,000,000. A bounty equal to three and four fold the normal price, continued for four years, has not enabled all the other cotton-producing countries in the world to supply the place of the Southern States of the American Union, such is their supe riority in climate, in fertility and abundance of land, in internal facilities of transport, and skill in culti vation. It is in vain that we have gone to China and Japan, to Turkey and Australia, for a supply, while India, to which we chiefly looked, has proved a virtual failure. We must not, then, expect that American cotton shall for years, if indeed ever, return to its normal price of 6d. a pound as before the war, or Indian to 4d. After the defeat and surrender of the Confederate armies we find the price of ordinary cotton still quoted at New York at about 2s. a pound. But, besides this, we may reckon with certainty that the American Govern ment will impose a permanent tax on the export of cotton, and their advantages for its production are so great that they may do so legitimately, thus making foreign nations contribute to the public re venue, in the same manner as we ourselves make the Malays and Chinese contribute through the juice of the opium poppy. No doubt the Americans will find means to compel the emancipated Africans to labour, but, from our experience of the race, that labour will not be the organised labour of the slave holder, while the skill and capital that directed it will have to be created, for they have been de stroyed. We cannot, then, look to the time when the Southern States of ilmerica shall produce four millions of bales of cotton, more than half of it for our own supply. Thus, in one shape or another, the producers of cotton in India and other countries will be still protected against the competition of American cotton by a considerable bounty. " THE LONDON REVIEW" ON SMOKING.—The smokers continue to increase in numbers and their opponents diminish, the smoking-room has become an institution of the country, and the cigar-case is a companion which few of the rising generation appear disposed to get rid of. Thus it becomes necessary to put the question seriously—ls tobacco, as used by the smoker, injurious or not? If it really possesses the dangerous properties which anti smokers attribute to it, then should we employ all means in our power to put a stop to smoking ; but if, on the contrary, it is only a gentle and harmless stimulant or sedative, we should not discourage its use. In any case it must be regarded as a luxury, but if it can be shown to exert no serious action on the body, then it must be considered a luxury of a very unobjectionable character. In order to ascer tain what the operation of tobacco on the system is, we must be first informed as to the nature of the substances which it contains, or rather which are developed from it during the process of smoking. If, as the recent researches of Dr. Richardson have shown us, a cigar is lighted and placed in the mouth of a pair of bellows so constructed as to draw in the air after the manner of a smoker, then the various components of tobacco smoke may be separately examined. What are these components ? Briefly, they are as follows :—Water, carbon or soot, am monia, carbonic acid, an empyreumatic oil, a bitter extractive matter, and nicotine. The simplest method, then, of discovering the action of a cigar upon the system will be to consider the effect of each of the foregoing compounds separately. The water can clearly have no action of any import, except, perhaps, that of presenting the other constituents in a more soluble condition ; we may therefore dismiss it from our consideration. It is the carbon that gives colour to the fumes which rise from the cigar; it exists—those portions at least which are taken into the mouth—in a state of ex tremely fine division, and though it attaches itself to the mucous membrane of the fauces, it can hardly be regarded as a very mischievous agent. No doubt the minute particles, whilst embedded in the sarco dous lining of the epithelium cells, tend to produce a feeling of thirst ; but the rapidity .with which the external mucous layer is secreted must prevent any lasting effect of an injurious nature. The ammonia is probably a product of the combustion of tobacco, which, when it gets into the blood, effects more marked alteration than any of the elements we have mentioned. Ammonia, though an alkali always pre sent in circulating blood in small quantity, is, when introduced into the vital fluid in more than the normal proportion, of an injurious character. Its action is twofold. It acts specially upon the nervous system, which it stimulates in some way at present unknown ; and it operates upon the blood corpuscles in such a manner as to cause them to shrivel, and lose their natural form and appearance. Such are the effects of the ammonia when introduced in toler ably large quantities. The amount of the substance, however, produced during the burning of a cigar is so exceedingly small that, with the exception of any action it may have in producing that parched feel ing of the throat to which smokers are liable, we may fairly disregard it altogether. Dr. Richardson conceives that the carbonic acid may have the power of stupifying the smoker, and of producing a feeling of lassitude, but we are not prepared to acquiesce in this opinion. If the carbonic acid and ammonia are both disengaged simultaneously —of which there appears to be very little doubt—the two meeting within the smoker's mouth must com bine, and form carbonate of ammonia, in which state they would be absorbed by the capillary blood vessels, or thrown out in the saliva. If the latter occurrence took place, then no injurious action whatever could eventuate ; whilst, if the salt pro duced by the union of the two gases were absorbed, the action, if any, could be attributed only to the ammonia. The empyreumatic oil, which comes next in the order of substances obtained by com bustion of tobacco, may be said to be innocuous. To it is due the smell of burning tobacco whether it be that of a cigar, or of Cavendish, bird's-eye , grass-cut, or Turkish tobacco. The two last sub stances are those to which tobacco-smote owes its best-known properties. It has hitherto been the custom of those who have written upon the chemistry of tobacco to confound together the bitter extractive matter and the true alkaloid und er the one term nicotine." This is a mistake, for the physiological action of each substance is peculiar. It is the extractive matter which gives to the de r of tobacco its characteristic flavour and hence it more abundant in what are called strong than wha", are known as mild tobaccos. Thus, " Cavend ish . ' and " Shag" contain a greater proportion of this principle than " Returns" or " Turkish," and shq us, too, what its special action is. The effect whic," the bitter extractive matter produces is best oclui bited in the young smoker whose system has il i e e become Inured to its use. In him it acts upon the pneumogastric nerve, and through it ul 3oll , t d . 1 stomach, producing, by this means, nausea, glu, b ; ness, and, finally, vomiting. The system of t. . confirmed smoker has acquired the p ow er of resis e ing the action of this extractive principle, and be nt he never suffers from nausea. The last substance' the alkaloid of tobacco, is really the onlyiniu r l a or poisonous compound of the entire series. J. bitter extractive may inconvenience the yo,t 111 : t smoker, but it does him no serious mischief. P",, d the nicotine, which gives least annoyance, produe': the most dangerous consequences. Nicotine, wh e ' absorbed into the blood in any considerable quantitYi acts upon the nervous system in a very vie, l , h lj e manner, and produces serious disturbance heart, respiratory organs, and muscular a Anti-tobacconists must not, therefore, assume 0 . 3 tobacco smoked in moderation produces the evil le" fluences to which we have referred. The quail% of nicotine produced during the combustion 0 enters single cigar amounts to very little, and, if it eli te \ the blood at all (which is exceedingly improbably; the impression it produces can hardly be aPP re t ; ciated. Hence it may be concluded that modera smoking does no great mischief to the systems generally. app at COUNTRY MARKETS NOTTINGHAM—SATURDAY. d During the past week the weather has been brilliant , the wheat plant is looking exceedingly well.
