The Catastrophe on the South-Eastern Railway. THE INQUEST. The whole of the ten passengers who came to so un timely an end, near Staplehurst, on Friday, have now been identified. Those who lie injured in the town and its neighbourhood are getting on as favourably as could rea sonably be expected. The wreck of the train to which the accident occurred has been completely removed, and the ordinary course of traffic on the line has begun to be re newed. There remains scarcely anything that is new to tell of the sad event save that which is revealed in the evi dence given before the coroner yesterday. The adjourned inquest was held before Mr. W. T. Neve, at the South-Eastern Hotel, at which Major Francis, whose injuries are of a very severe character, Mr. Condliff, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph, who were injured to a less extent, aro still staying. The railway company were represented at the inquest by Mr. Freeland, their solicitor ; Mr. Eborall, the traffic ma nager ; Mr. Knight, the superintendent ; Mr. Harris, the assistant superintendent ; and Mr.Enwright, the engineer. Mr. Fowles (from Mr. Vining's, solicitor, of Moorgate buildings) appeared on behalf of Mr. Geo. Whitby, whose wife was killed, and of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Lord, who were injured. Captain Rich, Inspector of the Railway Depart ment of the Board of Trade, was also present to watch the case on behalf of the Government. Mr. George Beaumont, of Green-street, Park-lane, was the first witness called. He identified one of the bodies which stood over for identification since Saturday as that of Miss Emma Beaumont, of the Rue de Chaillot, Champs Elys6es. He was a distant relation of the deceased lady, whose arrival by the tidal train a friend of hers expected. Her age was 24. M. Leon Vanlangendrick, of 16, Caledonian-terrace, King's-road, Chelsea, cook at the Albion Hotel, Albemarle street, identified another of the bodies as that of Hippolyte Mercier, cook to Admiral Fremantle, of the Admiralty house, Devonport. Deceased was expected on Friday night from Paris. He was 33 years of age. The body of Mrs. Condliff, whose identity was all but formally ascertained on Saturday, was identified by James Tunstall, 31, London-road, Liverpool, as that of the wife of Mr. M. Condliff, of 1, Queen's Hotel, Waterloo, who is now lying injured in Staplehurst. The Coroner then said that he had been informed that this completed the evidence of identification. He added that he understood Captain Rich had come down to Staple hurst, and was at the moment engaged in examining the portion of the line at which the accident took place. He did not contemplate that much progress would be made that day in the inquiry beyond completing the evidence of identification, but until Captain Rich arrived he ,propesed to proceed with the evidence of the guard. The platelayer Henryßenge, who was taken into custody on Friday last, was at this stage of the proceedings brought into the room by Mr. D. Ovenden, superintendent of the Cranbrook division of police. Lawrence Mercer was then called and deposed as follows: —I am guard on the South Eastern Railway. 1 have acted in that capacity for 13 years. I was guard of the tidal train which left Folkestone at half-past two on Friday last. The train consisted of the engine, the break van, one second class carriage, seven first-class, two break vans, and one without a break. There were, I should say, about 100 pas sengers in the train, most of them having arrived by the steamboat from Boulogne, George Crombie was the driver, and William Beattie the fireman. Them were five breaks, independent of the tender. There were three guards. I was in the van next the tender. The train after leaving Folkestone had to pass all the stations up to Redhill. We passed the Headcorn station about 11 minutes past 3. The first notice of danger was the danger signal given by the engine -driver when we got about a mile and a half beyond Headcorn. The signal consisted of two sharp whistles. I did not before that see any danger flag. I did not look for the flag after I heard the signal, but I immediately put on the breaks, one ordinary and two patent breaks. I cannot say what distance the train travelled be fore the accident occurred. It might be half a mile. I was able to slacken speed considerably. We had been travel ling at the rate of from 45 to 50 miles an hour. I applied all the break power I could, and the rate of speed was pro bably reduced to 15 miles an hour when we reached the bridge. I did not see when approaching the bridge that any of the rails had been removed. The engine and break van, one second, and one first class carriage remained in the road, although off the rails. They hung over between the permanent way and the stream. Six of the first-class car riages fell over the bridge. They were very much broken. The depth from the top of the bridge to the surface beneath is about 7ft. ; it might be 10ft. I had no opportunity of visiting the spot before the accident, and as the carriages filled up the brook afterwards I cannot speak positively as to the ordinary depth, especially at this time of year. I did not at the time of the accident know the dead from the liv ing. I did not see the danger-flag at all. The line from Headcorn to Staplehurst is perfectly straight. The engine driver has, I believe, been in the service of the company 11 years, and is a careful and steady man. In my opinion, a train travelling at the rate of 45 miles an hour on such a line could not be stopped within at least half a mile. At Headcorn station the " All right" signal was exhibited. The distance at which a signal flag can be seen depends upon the atmos phere. A brilliant sun will sometimes prevent the colour of the flag from being seen more than a dull day, and there was at the time of the accident a very brilliant sun. I was not at all aware that repairs were going on on the bridge. By the Foreman—l did not look at my timepiece when I passed the Headcorn station. I was looking out, but I did not see any signal. Sometimes the steam blowing will pre vent our seeing the signals. We are expected to keep a general look-out, but not so much at places such as that where the accident occurred as when we are passing or near to stations. The longest distance, I should think, at which I could see a red flag signal would be half a mile, but I would not say for certain. A danger signal, when there is danger, should be waved in the air by the man who carries it. I saw the flag after the accident. The man appeared to be holding it in his hand behind the train. I cannot say how far behind, but I should say 150 yards, but that was after the accident. I cannot say whether the man had moved or not. When I saw the flag it was after I had got out of the train, some few moments after the accident. I applied the breaks on hearing the danger signal, instead of looking first what was the matter, as that would have been loss of time. By a Juryman—The remark about the difficulty of seeing the flag because of sunlight or steam does not apply to the driver so much as to the guard. When the accident occurred I jumped out of the train, leaving the breaks still on. I should not think when they were once on of taking them off in a case like the present. If all the five breaks, besides the tender and engine breaks, had been applied simultaneously, it is possible that the train might have been stopped in less than a mile, but never having made the ex periment I cannot say for certain. By the Coroner—l have a book and written instructions, but there is nothing in it with regard to platelayers. By a Juror—The rope communication between the driver and the guards was complete from end to end. That is for the purpose of enabling the guard to communicate with the driver. The driver can communicate with the guard only by means of the whistle. Mr. Winder then said he wished to ask the witness a question, but Mr. Freeland, the company's solicitor, interposed, observ ing that It might save time if he at once stated that the company did not intend to dispute their legal liability. Mercer stated, in reply to questions which were then put to him by this gentleman, that he first saw the signal man about the time of the occurrence of the accident or immediately afterwards. His attention was so taken up by the accident that he did not observe whether the man was running, walking, or standing, although he saw that he had a flag. He could see a mile or perhaps more along the line. He could not say at what distance ho could see whether a plate was off; certainly not at the distance of a mile or anything like it. He did not observe the plate layers at all until after the accident had taken place. He could command the breaks of the two first-class carriages besides his own and put them on. The breaks were Cremer's patent breaks, and worked with a spring. Henry Benge, the platelayer, being asked if he wished to put any question to the witness, replied in the negative, but observed that the train was much further away from the bridge when notice of danger was given than had been stated. The witness, in reply to one or two other questions, said that he generally had notice given him when repairs were going on on the line, but that he had no notice that repairs were being prosecuted where the accident occurred. The usual number of breaks to a train of 14 carriages was two. Examined by Captain Rich—My van was glazed in front. After we left the Headcorn station I was looking all through. I was not sorting parcels. We don't carry parcels by that train. I was on the lefthand side of the van, and, therefore, if a man was on the sixfoot showing a flag, the engine would o some extent have been between me and the sixfoot where ho would he standing. I cannot say whether there was anything in the shape of steam or otherwise to pre- Vont my seeing. I cannot say whether it would havo been possible for the man to have been then waving the flag without my seeing him. I should say it was decidedly nearer 200 than 500 yards from the bridge when I heard the signal. I did not see any beams or timbers lying on the bridge or near it when I passed over the previous day. By the Jury—l can't say whether it was possible for men to have been at work about the bridge for some days before without my noticing the circumstance. There is work go ing on on many parts of the line. At the close of the examination of this witness, Mr. A. White, of Clement-hall, came forward and said he identi fied the body of Miss Caroline White as that of his sister. She had been in the habit for the last 10 years of wintering at Pau, and had just returned to England when she met her death. He wished to give this evidence because in the official report issued by Mr. Eborall the name of the de ceased lady was given as Wise. At this stage of the proceedings the Coroner intimated that as the platelayers would have to be examined, as well as the superintendent and the signalman at Headcorn, the Government inspector, and other witnesses, it would be desirable to adjourn the inquiry. The inquiry was, after some discussion, accordingly adjourned to Friday next. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS—JuxE 12. ROMAN CATHOLIC OATH BILL.

Edward Montagu Woodford, residing at No. 39, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Yardley with wilfully destroying flowers in the enclosure of Kensington -gardens, the pro perty of the Commissioners of Public Works. T op p e , a park w ute defendant constable N damagingo. s d tohnaet of fn the e n r d o a e y e trees by he ' plucking off seven roses. He aft erwar d s saw t h e defendant pluck two pinks. The defendant attended the court yesterday on bail, but left before the case was called on. er m t u o c t h h e a n c h d a r i g t e g o t h t e i n defendant a s d, a i a d ri h d e h h e a d d id take no i t t Mr. Yardley said he saw th e d e f en d an t was d escr ib e d as what ntso he was doing. wo have acted as he had clone. The flowers were not grown a kanl g lio e tnwt n i t ea leman. It was not a gent l eman l y thi ng f or hi m to for only his (defendant's) gratification, but for millions of others. It was a mean, shabby thing for the defendant to pick the flowers planted for the public good. The park constable said the damage amounted to 2s. 6d. Mr. Yardley said it would serve the defendant right to send the defendant to gaol. As it was, he should order him to pay 2s. 6d. for the damage, and a fine of 405., or 14 days' imprisonment. TILE CHARGE AGAINST A MAGICIAN.—WiIIiam Frederick Albert, described as a magician, and who was formerly assistant to Herr Wiljalba Frikell, appeared on remand, charged with obtaining a box containing clothes, &c., the property of Alex. Hoffmann, by false pretences. On the case being. called on for hearing, Mr. S. Pittman stated to the court that he appeared for the defendant, and that from the statement made to him, and the evidence he had to call, it would appear there was no real case against the defendant, and subject to the ap proval of the court he (Mr. Pittman) had recommended that the box in dispute, which was then in court, should be given up to complainant and the defendant discharged. The constable said the box was in court and had been examined, and it now contained all the complainant claimed.being adopted, and h av i ng The magistrate s a id h e perfectly approved of this course inquired answ w er h e e d th in er th th e e afri de r f ra en at da iv n e t had been out on b ail, and been, immediately discharged him. CHOPPING AGAINST THAMES. CHOPPING --MATRIMO N IA L FEUD.— William Chopping, a very big man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with beating his wife, Mary Ann, whose face and forehead were covered with bruiser; and whose eyes were blackened. The wife, who carried a baby in her arms, said her husband came home last night and thrashed her. He gave her two black eyes and knocked her down, but she did not wish to punish him, only to bind him over to keep the peace. Mr. Paget—How long have you been married ? Witness—Six years. Mr. Paget ..gas he been a good husband ? Witness —A pretty good husband. Mr. Paget—l am very sorry he could so far have for gotten himself as to commit such an outrage as this and mark your face in that dreadful manner. It is very dis graceful indeed. He has been a pretty good husband for six years, and he has now broken out in this way, and given you two black eyes. I sup-pose he . was drunk. Witness—No, sir ; quite sober. Mr. Paget—Do you think you can take his word not to do this again ? The wife, with great unconcern said, " He can do as he likes, sir. He has himself to blame.' Mr. Paget asked the prisoner what he bad to say? The prisoner—l did not wish to hit her, but she gave me a swelled lip first. Mr. Paget—ls that true, woman ? The wife—Yes, I believe so. The husband—She knows it to be true. Mr. Paget—You have ill-used her, very badly indeed. The prisoner was then bound o ver in the sum of £2O, to keep the peace to his wife for six m onths. BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.--John Spice; rigger and stevedore, and William John Pan-y, general dealer, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with felo niously and burglariously breaking and entering a ware house , in Old Gravel-lane, St. Ge orge -in-the-East and stealing 35 bolts of canvas, valued at £lO5, the property of Rowland Gifford and Co., rope, twin© and canvas factors, of No. 72, Mark lane. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, defended Spicer. Messrs. Gifford's warehouse was broken open between half-past two o'clock on Friday aftern oon and the follow ing day at noon. The warehouse was plundered of 40 bolts of canvas, each valued at about 50 s. The prisoners hired a room on Saturday afternoon of M r. R obert Roger Rollo, the landlord of the White Swan, Wapping-wall, in which they deposited 35 bolts of canvas. The prisoners came to the White Swan yesterday evening, while a police constable named William Beckley, 344 K, was there, and were taken into custody. The 35 bolts of canvas were identified as the property of Messrs. Gifford. The other five have not been recovered. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners for a week. THE ENGLISHMAN IN THE HANDS OF ITALIAN BRIGANDS.—The unfortunate gentleman, who has been nearly' a month a prisoner, andlor whose ransom £lO,OOO is now demanded, is a member of the Stock Exchange, London—Mr. W. J. C. Moens—who has been, with his wife, travelling for the last six months in Sicily and Italy or the benefit of his health. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - PARIS SUMMER MEETING. The hope expressed twelve months ago that the Great Paris Prize would another year produce a better show of English horses has unfortunately not been realised, and a race, second in value only to the English Derby, with con siderable sums for both second and third horses, brought only one solitary competitor across the Channel. This result is greatly to be regretted, and every one would deplore to see fall to the ground the liberal efforts made by the French Jockey Club to establish a great international race in the capital of continental Europe. We readily admit that Gladiateur had proved in England so immeasur ably superior to anything of his year that the hope of beat ing him on a course three furlongs longer than that of the Derby was very remote. The case was almost similar last year, when Blair Athol was alone sent over, from the idea that no other would have any chance against him at even weights. The result, however, proved the contrary. Never theless it will perhaps eventually be found necessary to impose some penalty on the French and English Derby winners, in order to place them more on a par with the beaten horses. The effect of such a step can be foreseen by what occurred in 1863. Maccaroni, the English Derby winner, was not engaged in the Great Paris Prize ; conse quently, that horse, which otherwise would have been most feared, being out of the way, five others came over from England, and one amcng them proved the winner. Until the present year the race in question had generally proved unfortunate to the favourites ; Gladiateur, however, yes terday confirmed his previous running by winning his third great event this year, and so easily that a stone given to each of the starters would hardly have brought them up to his level. With these preliminary observations, we pro ceed to give an account of the two days' running. SUNDAY. The Great Paris Prize, although looked upon as a fore gone conclusion, nevertheless engrossed the entire atten tion. Little business was done on the races which preceded that event, and they passed almost unobserved. The at tendance was certainly the largest that ever assembled on any race course on the continent, and long before the hour for commencing not a place was to be had in any of the stands, and the whole ground within the rails was one thick mass of carriages and spectators. The Emperor and Empress arrived before the third race, and received an en thusiastic welcome, the shouts of "Hurrah !" quite drown ing the perhaps more numerous but less hearty cries o " Vive l'Empereur!" and showing how large was the Eng lish element in the throng. His Majesty looked remark ably well, although greatly browned by travel. The Em-f press wore a handsome gold brocaded Algerian burnous, apparently a souvenir of the Emperor's excursion. So much has been recently written of Gladiateur that we have little to say of the present race. For the last quarter of a mile the result was never for a moment in doubt. Vertugadin followed up his success of the previous day by coming in second, to the surprise of everyone, and beating both Gontran and Tourmalet. Gladiateur is a powerfully built but far from handsome horse. He is what is called " goose tamped," the backbone rising to a point behind the saddle and then drooping to the tail, which greatly detracts from his beauty. He stands high on his legs, has large shoulders, is deep in the girth, and is especially remarkable for the immense thickness and muscular appearance of his legs and forearms. The work of art given by the Emperor is a silver shield, the principal group of which represents a hunting party of the time of Louis XV., the border being filled by animals and attributes of the chase. The figures are in alto-relievo. The Prix d'Armenonville of 2,000 fr., for horses 3-yrs-old and upwards. Entry 50fr. The winner liable to be claimed for 1,500 fr. Distance 2,400 metres. Seven subs.

Picciola then drew forward and ran to the stands with Galimafre; the latter then recovered his lead and won easily by two lengths. The winner was bought by Doslodoff for 3,322 fr. The Prix de Pavilions of 6,000 fr., for horses 3-yrs-old and upwards. Entry 200 fr., h ft. The second to receive half the entries. Penalties and allowances. Distance 3,200 metres. 16 subs.

Betting-4 to 1 agst Clermont, sto 1 agst each Mathilde and Le Bearnais, and 6 to 1 agst Canotiere. After two false starts the lot got well away together, Mathilde and Lalla Roukh running to the front. The latter was soon beaten, and went back to the rear, while Cler mont with Tancrede went forward and joined Mathilde. Along the straight Clermont and Tancrede came away and finished the race between them, the former winning by a half length, and Le Bearnais coming in a bad third. THE GRAND PRIX DE PARIS of 100,000 fr., and a work of art presented by the Emperor, for 3-yr-olds of all coun tries. Entry I,ooofr. ; 600 fr. forfeit, or 500 fr. only if declared.

Tourmalet rushed to the front at starting, and in passing the stands Todleben, Gontran, and Vertugadin were run ning abreastbehind, Count de Lagrange's two horses com ing last of all. At the windmill Vertugadin took the second place, with Todleben third, and Gontran fourth, Tourmalet still running with a lead of about three lengths. At the plantation Todleben went to the rear, and on toppling the hill Vertugadin moved forward and drew nearer to Tour malet, and opposite Baron de Rothschild's chateau passed and took the lead. At that moment, and until when about to turn on the straight, Vertugadin and Tourmalet were running about three lengths in advance of Gontran, an in terval of two lengths separating the last named from the three others. Vertugadin now took a decided lead, and Gla diateur, moving forward, passed the other horses, and over took Vertugadin at the corner. The race was then really finished, as Gladiateur, full of running, came clean away, and ran in front up to the judge's chair, winning easily by about four lengths. Vertugadin finished second, three lengths before Tourmalet. Gontran fourth, a length be hind Tourmalet, Todleben and Le Mandarin coming in last together.

Won by a good length ; a length and a half between the second and the third. Mlle. Isabelle, the Jockey Club bouquetiere, sported her new costume of the French Derby winner's colours. The dress consists of a blue body with skirt looped up over a blue and white striped slip. Around the bottom of the latter is a white border on which are embroidered horse- shoe trimmings. Complete racing accessories of massive silver are also introduced with great ingenuity. A large bit serves as an epaulette; the body is studded with but tons of the shape of jockeys' caps ; stirrups hang from each side of the waistband, the clasp of which is a saddle, and a white feather in the hat is attached with a large horse shoe for a buckle.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, MONDAY NIGHT. An immense concourse of people were attracted to the banks of the Tyne above the High Level-bridge this even ing to witness a great one-mile skiff match between Robert Chambers, the champion oarsman of the world, and Robert Cooper, an equally famous Tyneside oarsman. Both men were in prime condition, and were considered to be equally matched for the distance. The betting, which was some somewhat slack, favoured Chambers. Chambers and Cooper went into their skiffs at 5 35 p.m. ; weather beautiful, river like a lake, and crowded with steamboats. Cooper won the toss, and took the north side of the river. The men started at 8 minutes to 6. Cooper led up to the Grindstone quay, being two lengths in advance. Chambers then drew up and took the lead amid tremendous cheering. He was half a length a head at the Gasworks and won by a length. Chambers rowed the mile in 7 min. 42 secs. The race was for £2OO. While the immense multitude was assembled a great sensation was caused by a man named Gascoigne jumping off the High Level-bridge into the Tyne for a wager. He appears to have landed in safety.

Tho LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack Lt five o'clock. Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a bill forbidding rail way companies to confine passengers to the carriages by locking the doors on both sides. It was proper, he thought, that carriages should be locked on one side that passengers might not improperly leave them. After some short discussion, the bill was read a first time. THE BIRTH OF A PRINCE. Earl GRANVILLE moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, congratulating her upon the fact that a prince had been born by her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and assuring her Majesty of the loyal attachment of their lordships. The Earl of MALMESBURY thought some expression should come from this side of tho house to show how deeply they sympathed with the sentiments expressed by the noble earl, and in the absence of the Earl of Derby he offered such sentiments to their lordships. The motion was then agreed to. Their lordships' shortly afterwards adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Bromley Gas; Enniskillen, Rundoran, and Sligo Railway; Furness and Lancaster and Carlisle Union Railway ; Old ham Borough Improvement ; Sirhowy Railway ; South Eastern Railway ; Stapenhill and Burton-upon-Trent Bridge ; Wigtownshire Roads ; and Worcester, Dean Forest, and Monmouth Railway. PRISONS BILL. Sir G. GREY moved the third reading of this bill. Mr. NEATE opposed the bill as one of undue severity. The continental Governments were doing all in their power to improve the prison discipline, while we were, on the contrary, acting in entirely the opposite direction. The bill was read a third time. RECORD OF TITLES (IRELAND.) In committee of the whole house, a resolution was agreed to for making provision for the payment of the stamp duty in connection with the records of titles in Ireland. GREENWICH HOSPITAL BILL. ,The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses up to 14 were agreed to. On clause 15, Mr. AYRTON moved the insertion of certain words to extend the benefits of the hospital to merchant seamen as well as those of the royal navy. After a few words from Mr. CHILDERS and Admiral WALCOT, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. Clause 21 to 43 were agreed to without discussion. On clause 44, Mr. LIDDELL took occasion to correct a misunder standing which had attached to some words which had fallen from him. He never meant to cast any imputation on the manner in which the naval chaplains were ap pointed. The clause was agreed to, as were the several clauses following. On clause 51 Mr. LIDDEhL moved an amendment which amounted to an entire remodelling of the clause. Mr. CIIILDERS defended the clause, remarking that it was the object of the bill to induce pensioners to leave the hospital. Sir L. PALK did not think it was right on the part of the Government to use the funds of the hospital as they proposed. The captains of the hospital had presented a petition praying that they might not be deprived of their position on the active list which they would have occupied had they not accepted the appointments they had in the hospital, and hoped their wishes would not be disre garded. _ _ _ - Mr. CORRY said he thought the present governor of the hospital ought to be restored to the list, in order that he might be enabled to fulfil the office of Admiral of the Fleet, if appointed. 11i . % CHILDERS said the Governor and Deputy-Gover nor of the Hospital, after the passing of the bill, retain their titles and the full pay appertaining to them, and also their residence, if they felt so disposed. The clause was then agreed to, as were the remaining clauses in tho bill. Mr. CHILDERS said he had now to move the insertion of an additional clause. There had been discussion on a former occasion, and the Government had felt it incumbent on them not altogether to disregard it. By the clause he now proposed the present governor would be retained in his office, but on his death the Government proposed to take power to appoint an officer who would be termed a visitor. The office would he worth £l,OOO per annum, and would be conferred when vacant as a reward for meritorious services. (Hear, hear.) A short discussion ensued, during w hich some members expressed their approval of the course of the Government, and Mr. Henley, on the contrary, thought it highly objec tionable that such a clause should have been brought for ward and carried at a morning sitting, without the slightest notice. The clause was then agreed to, the house resumed, and the chairman reported 'progress. NAVY AND MARINE BILLS. These two bills for amending the law with respect to wills and the property of deceased members of the two services, passed through committee. NAVAL AND MARINE PAY AND PENSIONS BILL. This bill passed through committee without amend ment. COLONIAL LAWS VALIDITY BILL. The house went into committee on this bill ; the whole of the clauses were agreed to without amendment, and the bill was reported. COLONIAL MARRIAGES VALIDITY BILL.

STEALING TILE LATE EDITION OF " TILE sus" NEWSPAPER. An auxiliary sorter, named Thompson, was indicted for stealing a newspaper (the late edition of The Sun), the pro perty of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Metcalf, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner was in the service of the Post-office authorities as an auxiliary sorter, and in the evening on which he stole the newspaper, he was engaged sorting the newspapers preparatory to the despatch of the evening mail. While he was performing his duty he was observed to place the paper in his pocket, and when he was taken into custody by the officer attached to the Post-office, ho said he had taken the paper merely to read the American news, as he had a son in that country. It however appeared that that explanation was not deemed necessary, es pecially as on searching him a gold watch and chain, a betting-book, and a large sum of money in gold. was found in his pocket. The inference was that he had taken the paper for the purpose of making himself acquainted with the latest betting, which is invariably published in the newspaper he selected. There was no desire to press severely against the prisoner, although such leniency would not be extended to other prisoners com mitting the same offence. All that was now required was a punishment sufficient to show that the Post-office authorities were desirous of making it known that the greatest care was taken of everything passing through that establishment. The counsel for the prisoner said his client had acted in a very imprudent manner in taking the paper but for a short time. He had a son in America, and being anxious about him he had taken the paper not with the intention of stealing it, but of reading the American news, and re turning it to its proper place before the mail left. _ . A number of witnesses gave the prisoner a very excel lent character for honesty. The Recorder said it was a very serious offence to inter fere with any letter or parcel in its process through the Post-office. Although it had been urged it was only a newspaper, yet that newspaper might have been of the greatest importance to the party to whom it was addressed, and it could not be two generally known that it was equally an offence to delay, as it was to appropriate a letter or newspaper. The statement of the prisoner's counsel was just possible, although the fact that the prisoner had a betting book upon him favoured the suspicion that the paper was taken to ascertain the state of betting, and not to read the common news. Under all the circumstances he should fine the prisoner £5, and order him to be detained in prison until the fine was paid. It, however, another case of a similar nature was brought before him, the person committing the offence would not escape with a fine. TAREATENING TO PUBLISH A LIBEL. Frederick Jacob Pillott was indicted for feloniously sending a certain letter, knowing the contents thereof, de manding of Rachel Chappuis, with menace, the sum of £35 15s. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the misdemeanour. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said the prisoner had pleaded guilty to a very serious and cowardly offence. From what the Court had heard, it appeared that the prosecutor and prisoner had been at one time good friends, but differences had occurred, and an action had been brought against the prisoner, which he improperly defended. It appeared that he had had an interview with Mrs. Chap puis without the knowledge of her husband, and from that he (the prisoner) had attempted to wring from her money to defend the action to which he was a party against her own husband. He had further threatened to publish certain statements imputing infidelity to her, but he was happy to say nothing to substantiate such a charge had been offered in court, and it was also gratifying to know the husband did not believe such a base insinuation. Mrs. Chappins had no doubt seen the prisoner without her husband's knowledge, for perhaps the best intention and purest reason—that of trying to end the legal proceedings between them, and it was most shameful that advantage of such an act should be taken for the basest purpose. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be kept in prison for 18 calendar months with hard labour. TILE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF POST-OFFICE MONEY-ORDER FORMS. Henry Charles Watson was indicted with stealing, forg ing, and uttering a number of Post-office money-orders, whereby the Post-office authorities had been defrauded to the extent of nearly £6OO. It will be recollected that a short time ago a very artful but ingenious fraud was per petrated upon a postmaster at Netherstowey, in Somerset shire, by a person who represented himself to be an in spector of the Post-office. The prisoner succeed in obtain ing possession of nearly 400 blank forms, with the letters of advice, and the money-orders the prisoner had presented for payment were made out on some of the forms stolen on that occasion. The postmaster at Netherstowey was examined at great length, and repeated the evidence he gave at Bow-street. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. Extraordinary Case of Suspended Animation (Front the Newcastle Chronicle) A mast remarkable case of suspended animation has occurred in Newcastle. On Tuesday night, a boy, named Batey, about 12 years of age, went to bed after partaking rather heartily of some rhubarb tart. Next morning about 6 o'clock he awoke in great pain, and his father used some simple remedies to remove the pain, but his efforts were of no avail, and shortly afterwards the boy apparently died. Preparations were made for the funeral,and the father went to the register office to obtain a certificate for the burial, but this the Registrar refused to give, as no medical man had seen the lad while he was ill, and there was nothing to show what had been the cause of death. The father was recommended to go to the Coroner and see if an in quest should be held, and thither he proceeded. Mr. Hoyle, after hearing the particulars of the death, ordered a post mortem examination to be made ; and Mr. W. S. Rayne, surgeon, was sent for on Thursday morning. Mr. Rayne was, however, out of town ; and as the case was repre sented to be urgent—" the body would not keep this hot weather"—Mr. Bush (Mr. Rayne's assistant) got Dr. Carr to undertake the duty of ascertaining the cause of death. Dr. Carr and Mr. Bush, with theirinaplemonts of dissection, and accompanied by the father of the" deceased," proceeded —two days after the lad "died"—to the house of mourn ing, where had been left the body of the deceased lad, with all the symbols of grief around it. But conceive the asto nishment of the father when he beheld his son, who had been dead, as he thought, two days, standing in the door way, as if nothing had happened. There was nothing ghastly about him. He did not look like one who had visited the other world, nor like ono risen from the dead ; but he stood with the utmost unconcern, and with every sign of health and life about him. The astonished parent could scarcely believe his eyes, and the doctors began to think that they were hoaxed. The lad, however, told his own tale He knew nothing about his narrow escape from being buried alive. All he know was that he had been asleep, and on awakening, as ho found no ono in tho house—his father was looking for the doctors, and his mother was out, probably making the arrangements for the funeral—he got up, and feeling very hungry, looked about for something to eat. Finding some eggs, he cooked them, a ft er w hi c h he went out, in happy i gnorance of his narro w escape from the grave and surgeon's knife. Mr. Bush told the lad it was a good thing that he had " come to life" when he did, as he might have been killed in the attempt to ascertain wliv he had ceased to exist. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market rather quiet. bales. Sales probably 8,000 THE LORD CHANCELLOR is, we hear, engaged in drawing up a bill to deal with an offence which has lately become alarmingly prevalent in the political world. It is to be entituled, "An Act for the better Prevention of Erabethelment."—Pall-mall Gazette. The satisfaction demanded by the Italian Go vernment from the Viceroy of Egypt for ill-treat ment inflicted on some Italian sailors at Alexandria was accorded on the 24th ult. Mustapha Bey, sub-Director of Police, has been dismissed. Several other superior police agents have also been discharged. The cavasses, or police men, who had struck the Italian sailors, are severely punished, and other offenders are exiled. The Prefect of Police went to the Italian Consulate to tender an apology, and a superior Egyptian officer went at the same time on board the Etna to offer a similar excuse to its commander ; likewise the Governor of Alexandria, officially informed the Consulate of the great dissatisfaction felt by the Vice roy in consequence of the outrage complained of. far all and at al ; of tain tshiP race uck d at 1 tho .yle. soli t 25, even NI of ;COtt , e of DOO, 'a do ,osit on Go unit also and by pro- Ren an's The of undo ;Jaen 0 or 1 re f the rs as iO o,ri o / ©Vi" LOS" 0115° ft° /.' v ft Sham 13.
