The East London Railway will complete the metro politansystem of railways, recommended by the joint l urnittee of both Houses of Parliament in the session of 1864 . The line as sanctioned by the act of this session will • clll, quinence with junctions with the Brighton, South Lon- South-Eastern, and North Kent Railways, near New es accommodating in its course the Surrey and Com •iiercial Docks, the London Docks, and the East of Lon don, and will terminate in the City, at a great terminal station in Liverpool-street. There will be a branch to the G reat - which connections will be formed With the the North London and London and North-Western 1, Railway s ; and the line will pass through and accommodate , L • e r important districts of New-cross, Deptford, Bother - 4,- "au, Wapping, St. George-in-the-East, Limehouse, Step 11P, Whitechapel, Bethnal-green, Biskopsgate , and Shore eel; and afford an outlet by the principal railways of the ' 3l lgdora to the most densely-populated parts of the metro polis. The terminus in Liverpool-street being in the centre of the business part of the City, situate close to the Bank and the exchange, must of necessity command for this line the largest metropolitan omnibus traffic within and out of London. It will effect an interchange of traffic with the metropolitan Railway, and through that line with the Great Northern, the Great Western, and the Midland railways, and it must become practically . the City termi nus of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. _ The extraordinary expansiveness of metropolitan rail way traffic has now been most abundantly demonstrated. The Metropolitan Railway, with only 31 miles opened, and the he ar t o f th e City as y e t unreached, carries more ttsserigers than the Great Eastern with 665 miles ; than ' l5 London and South-Western with 513 miles; or the 11 „ idh--,,nd with 641 miles opened ; and the receipts from ' a sseilgers per mile per week exceed, by more than 50 per . cent., the united receipts per mile per week for passengers tud goods of the seven great railways having ter mini in a- Mid. The cost of the property required for the line will be less per mile than that of any other metropolitan railway, and sufficiently provided for by the estimates. The leng th of th. y Vie, including junction branches, is between seven and 1 1 , Fht miles, of which the land for the terminal station at Cerpool-street, expensive early one mile of its course With °ugh the most district, is purchased jointly 1 the Great Eastern Railway, the one running at a high ; 44 and the other at a low level over the same property, Which arrangement fully a quarter of a million will be B pecl. On the southern side of the river, from the Thames uunel to the junctions of the Southern Railways, the cost t e r mile will be very moderate, whilst the tunnel itself has n en obtained without risk of construction at a little more The one-third of its original cost. 1 ,,,,,,he cost of construction is fixed beyond doubt by 'vr,l 2 ,gements concluded with Messrs. Brassey, Lucas and J,Lues, for a contract, at prices which will make the total ec's,r, of the works considerably less than the amount allowed the Parliamentary estimate. The revenue to be derived from this line can be esti -1/14,,e,d with equal certainty. ) ,,.,••'-ue ordinary receipts of the Metropolitan Railway are s n " - ',w' more than £740 per mile per week from passengers ,p3r ; and the expenses for the half-year ending December ' 186 4, were 41 per cent. on the then receipts. This enue is derived from a line connecting, at one end only, • t h e „„terminus of one great trunk line with the City, whilst e -East London will not only connect three great southern Il ea with the City, but will also connect them with the northern and eastern systems of railways. an The large population which this line will accommodate, the high through rates which it will receive for the raffle derived from the great lines with which it will be c o nnected, leave no doubt that its receipts per mile from h sengers alone will exceed those of the Metropolitan ilWay. But assuming the East London receipts to be, Per mile, not more than those on the Metropolitan in its Present incomplete and undeveloped state, and calculating "°receipts on six miles only of the East London Railway, far substantially to confine the calculation to the main 7", the in come from passengers will be £ 230 , 880 per to ofwhich must be added for merchandise and coal, of a low estimate, £100,000; making a total gross income . 30,880 ; which, after deduction of 41 per cent. for a iokog expenses, will leave a net income of £195,220, or b out 14 per ce n t. on the cost of the line. ~. investors, the rapidity with which this line can be fC, l locl for traffic, and its security from competition, are act s of great importance. The completion of the central t ion at Liverpool-street, and nearly a mile of the line, rill b e „ greatly expedited by•the arrangement (confirmed ra.rliament) . with the Great Eastern Company, which is br ° ' possession of part of the property, and is proceed ' g with the works ; the tunnel is also ready for immediate I,l3ilication to railway uses ; so that the line will certainly 0 fielding revenue in an unusually short space of time. t e t } ie shareholders of the Thames Tunnel Company agree of take the principal part of theirurch-mone in shares ibe. Railway C pa ompany, and other extensive property luired for the line will be paid for in like manner. C onsidering, then,— The position of this line as a connecting link between , ' l ' B great lines of railway communication north and „ south of the Thames ; `• The dense population through which it passes, to Which, for a few pence and in a few minutes of time, opportunity will be afforded of reaching the healthy 8 oistricts south of the river; ' The access afforded from the City and the eastern districts of London to Brighton, Ramsgate, Margate, and the South Coast generally, to the rural districts of e 'twat, Surrey, and Sussex, and to the Crystal Palace ; The large interchange traffic in merchandise and coals Which must pass over this line between north and t south . • "• The low cost per mile, as compared with other metro politan lines, and the certainty that it will be com pleted with great despatch ; and ~ The fact, clearly proved by the working of the Metro politan Railway, that the traffic on such a line can only th .„u? limit e d by its carr yi ng powers,— . i r :liirectors feel confident that the dividend to be derived • 33 1 this line will exceed that of any other metropolitan 1 4 , 1 , 1111 , e contract will provide for payment of interest half eZ,ll•37 during construction at the rate of fivcrper cent. per on calls, and six per cent. on shares fully paid up. allotting the shares preference will be given to appli for aid-u fully p shares. he holders of paid-u p p stock have the privilege of pay c„; up the balance of £BO per certificate at once, under dm t of six per cent. per annum, which will raise the first interest to upwards of seven per cent. ti,;4l registration of the scrip, of which due notice will be • eh a e n, the certificates for £lOO will be divided into five 4 1 be e of £2O each. b e 1 , the event of no allotment being made the deposits will an co eL urned in full.

The manufacture olOrdnance upon the principle patented by Captain Blakely has for upwards of five years been car ried on by private enterprise. The demand for this class of Ordnance has, however, so largely increased that the works established at Southwark by the present Blakely Ordnance Company have proved altogether inadequate, and it has been found necessary to establish a manufactory on a much larger scale. Extensive works are in course of construction at Greenwich, to which it is proposed to transfer the operations of the Company. Both in Europe and America, as well as at home, the Blakely Ordnance is daily coming into more extensive use, and during the last six years large orders have been exe cuted for Russia, Portugal, Italy, Egypt, Sweden, China and Japan, Morocco, Turkey, and several important States in North and South America, including the Confederate Government. As an evidence of the remunerative character of this de scription of manufacture, it may be stated that the net profits in the current year amount to nearly X 60,000. With the view of providing the increased capital which is requisite to carry on the manufacture on so large a scale, it is proposed to form a Limited Company, to be called the Blakely Ordnance Company (Limited). The services of Captain Blakely have been retained as Managing Director. The present efficient staff will also continue in office, as follows :—Josiah Vavasseur, Esq., C.E., Resident Engineer ; Mr. Campbell (late of the Royal Laboratory, Woolwich), Superintendent of Laboratory and Shell Factory; General Burnaby, Royal Artillery, Proof-master. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the purchase of the existing leases, plant, premises, and good will for the sum of £225,000, payable by instalments over two years, and £150,000 in debentures bearing £6 per cent. interest. In forming their estimate of the value of the plant, leases, fixtures, machinery, stock, and woodwill, the Directors have been guided by a valuation of the same by a competent Engineer. The goodwill has been rated at two and a half years' purchase. As an evidence of their confidence in the undertaking, the vendors have agreed to guarantee that the profits of the undertaking shall amount to a sum sufficient to pay a minimum dividend at the rate of £l5 per cent. per annum for three years on the paid-up capital for the time being of the present issue of shares. As it has been considered impossible to estimate equit ably the value of the patents, it has been agreed that they shall be transferred to the Company, the present Pro prietor receiving £2O per cent. of the net profits for the next seven years. The Company will enter into possession of the works in Southwark and Greenwich on the 30th of June instant, but will be entitled to the benefit of all contracts executed, and profits made, since the 30th June, 1864. The vendors re serve to themselves the right of subscribing for one-third of the present issue of shares. A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association can be inspected at the Offices of the solicitors, 43, Chan cery-lane. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained at the Offices of the Brokers of the Company, and of the Solicitors. As some applicants may desire to take full advantage of the guaranteed dividend, by paying up their shares in full, two Forms of Application are annexed, one for Ordinary Shares and the other for fully paid-up Shares.

TEMPORARY OFFICES. 6, Great Queen-street, Westminster. The Act of Parliament authorising the construction of a bridge over the River Thames from Chelsea to Battersea, with approaches thereto, received the Royal assent on the 25th July, 1864. The bridge will connect Chelsea and Battersea, starting from Cheyne-walk at its junction with Oakley-street, and terminate in the Prince Albert-road, Battersea, adjoining Battersea Park. It will be constructed on the most modern and improved form of the suspension principle, with cylinder foundations, and of a width of not less than 40 feet, giving a clear head way in the centre of 21 feet above Trinity high-water mark, the abutments forming a portion of the proposed embankments on the Surrey and Middlesex shores. A responsible Contractor has agreed to complete the bridge, ready for traffic, in eighteen months, for £82,000, taking part payment in paid-up shares of the Company. If required, the Contractor has agreed to collect the tolls of the new bridge and Battersea-bridge (which will become the property of the Albert-bridge Company), and keep the two bridges in repair for the space of twelve months after the opening of the Albert-bridge, and has authorised the Directors to retain the sum of £4,000 to guarantee the shareholders for the same period a minimum dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, after paying all costs, charges, &c. During the progress of the Bill in the House of Lords very satisfactory arrangements were entered into for the purchase of Battersea-bridge by the Albert-bridge Com pany : viz., the Albert-bridge Company agreed to purchase Battersea-bridge (the purchase to be completed on the opening of Albert-bridge) for a yearly rent-charge of £6,000 per annum. The tolls on Battersea-bridge are yearly increasing. For the year 1862 they amounted to no less than £6,153. The tolls on the new Chelsea-bridge (free on Sundays) for the year ending March, 1863, were upwards of £4,000, and have been increasing, taking the corresponding month of last year, at a rate exceeding £lOO a-month. The situation of the bridge is peculiarly favourable for traffic ; it provides for Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, and the West-end of London a shorter and better route to Battersea Park, Wandsworth, Clapham, Tooting, Mitcham, and other places south of the Thames. The Act of Parliament also authorises the Company to construct a new street from the King's-road, Chelsea (oppo site Oakley-street), to the Brompton and Fulham-road (opposite Sumner-place), and a short road from the Lower Wandsworth-road to the Queen's-road, Battersea, thus giving a direct thoroughfare from the Cromwell-road, Ken sington, to Clapham-common. The great advantage the Albert-bridge possesses over the other metropolitan bridges is— First,—The small sum for which the bridge will be com pleted : the approaches on both sides of the river being already made, the Company will not be called upon to pay compensation. Secondly,—The very satisfactory arrangements entered into with the proprietors of Battersea-bridge will give the Albert-bridge Company a clear profit of £3,000 per annum, after deducting a sum per annum sufficient for maintenance of bridge and expense of collecting of tolls. Presuming the tolls on Albert-bridge equal to the tolls on Battersea -bridge, the shareholders will have a clear income of 9 per cent. on their capital. Application for shares may be made in the annexed form, and must be accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share. If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned to the applicant without deduction. Prospectuses may be ob tained from Messrs. J. and A. Scrimgeour, the Brokers of the Company ; at the Union Bank of London ; from the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company ; from the Engi ' neers ; and from the Solicitors.

By Mr. Vining—The whole of the old timber had been taken out, and one new piece had to be put in. Mr. Neve, the foreman engineer at Ashford, sent me my book. I some times looked at my book when Benge was away, to sco what trains were due. I took my orders from Benge in that work, but Mr. Gallimore was the inspector. I saw him on the line an hour after the tidal train had gone over. The witness was examined at great length as to the details of the mode of doing the repairs and preparing the timbers. By Mr. Abrahams —We know the boat train by the car riages being all one height and one level. I believe that White, the signalman, stayed at his duty as signalman all the day after the accident. 8, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, LONDON, W. Observe the Red Seal, Pink Label, and Cork branded "Kinahan's LL Whisky.'• By Mr. Steele—l have been engaged in the engineering works on railways for about ten years. By Mr. Freeland—l should not have given orders for breaking up the road if Benge had not been there. I con alder myself under his orders as to that matter. If I had told him my timbers were not ready he would not havo broken up the road. I never had the rules or regulations as to breaking up the road. By Mr. Eborall—The shop rules have nothing to do with the trains, as far as I know. Captain Frederick Henry Rich said—l am one of the Government inspectors of railways to the Board of Trade, and examined the line on Monday last at a place known as the Beult Viaduct, about two miles from Headcorn, between that place and Staplehurst. It appears that some renewals were required to one of the beams. It was to be done between the time of the trains, and the ordinary precau tions on all repairs supposed to be adopted. Thirty-one out of the thirty-two balks of timber had been replaced. To renew the last balk it was necessary to take up two lengths of rail, and that was proposed to be done between the 2.50 and 4.15 all sight of the tidal train being lost. There was not time to do it safely between the tidal and the 2.50 train, the tidal train being due at Headcorn at 3.15, and no plate layer would have attempted to do it, nor could he have done so without great risk. A man was sent out with a signal, as stated, about 550 yards. I consider a flag would have been seen 800 or 1,000 yards on that line at that part a fog signal should have been put down at every 250 yards up to 1,000 yards, according to the regulations, and the signalman should then have put down two fog signals,and remained there with his flag. The work of making the alterations was done apparently in the best way. The breaking up of the line rests with the platelayer, and the carpenter should keep the road clear of tools and such things. I consider the girders were broken on the bridge by the engine, and were perfect before the train came up. I consider the speed would probably have been reduced to 30 miles an hour before coming to the bridge after passing the signalman. There was plenty of brake power, but I doubt the Cremer breaks having been brought to bear until just before getting to the bridge. The power they had would have stopped the train in 500 yards. It is the engine driver's duty to attend to all signals undoubtedly, but at the same time there are so many things he has to do that his eyes must for a time be taken off the line. There was nothing to prevent his seeing the signal' long before he got to it on the line that day. If a man was looking out he could see it 800 or 1,000 yards off, and in the event of seeing it, could have stopped the train before getting to the bridge. Fog signals are put at 1,000 yards, to at tract the engineer, whose attention may be devoted to the engine. That part of the line is favourable to set signals and for an engine to make running, and he would go 1,000 yards in less than a minute. The platelayer would have the fog signals in his possession for use, and if he had used them all he would have to make a requisition for more. There was only one beam removed at the time of the accident. SOLICITORS. Messrs. Newbon. Evans, and Co., Nicholas-lane, E.C. BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

The average time, as stated, would be correct; everything being fitted and prepared be fore. I have only heard the evidence given here as to the mistake about the tidal train. The regulations of the com pany specially apply to the platelayers, and the ganger is responsible for the rest. Mr. Eborall, the general manager, then put in the Rules and Regulations. Capt. Rich further said the carpenter would do his special work, but under the control of the foreman platelayer; but if the inspector was on the works he would take the com- mand.

A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent anJ noisome, who obtain money by false pretences. and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertisin; columns of low newspapers, amongst which too malty of gr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the info, mation that a nominal list of these iniscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in tee pamphl-t above referred to, which is entitled Revelathais of Quacks ant Quackery." and is to be had at the " Medical Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are sully set torch in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks a'e published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if' he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means boy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery."

Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the recent storms and loss f life at sea, and to enable them eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those Who may perish by war. Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers, Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre tary, at the Offices, No. 77, CornhilL R. SWEETTNG, Hon. Sac. CHARLES NASH. Sea By Mr. Abrahams—The inspector would give instructions as to the way in which the work was to be done, but not attend every day. He would visit it perhaps twice or three times a week. This inspector has 36 miles to inspect, and whore the line is so easy as this that would not be an extra distance. In the absence of the inspector Benge would be solely responsible. I think we have a right to expect that a man in Benge's position is capable of sending a man out with a flag to keep the line clear; and I think he is the best person to have the responsibility, or he might take up the rails at any time. If the responsibility was put on over him it would tend to increase the chances of accident. If he is not capable of sending out a man with a flag he is not capable of fixing a rail. A rail might be taken up at any time if proper preparations were adopted and the signals sent out.

By Mr. Steele—l do not think that the station master would, of necessity, become aware of the disregard of the regulations. I do know that White, the signalman, had. two of his fog-signals with him, but he did not use them. By Mr. Freeland—l have no doubt that the occurrence would not have happened had the regulations been ob served ; they were quite sufficient. By Mr. Abrahams—l think the engine-driver ought to have known of the repairs going on at the bridge. By the Coroner—l think that all drivers and guards ought to have had a notice of the repairs going on. I do not think it would be advisable to have it signalled at each station. The notice, if any, should go from the head office through the inspector. By Mr. Steele—Had the bridge been brick instead of corrugated iron the occurrence would still have happened. By Mr. Winter, jun.—Benge was clearly responsible that the signalman went the full 1,000 yards, and ought to have gone with him at the commencement of the job. John White, having been cautioned by the coroner, said —I have been a platelayer in the company's service for 20 years, and have been signalman during the repair of this bridge, except for two days. I have done all the signalling, except for two days. I was under the direction of Henry Benge. I have generally gone back ten telegraph posts, which was all I thought proper. He never told me how far to go. 1 went to the same place as the man did who sig nalled before me. His name is Eltham. I had two fog sig nals, which Eltham gave me. I had not any directions to put them down except in foggy weather. No one told me, but I thought so, as they were called fog signals. The 2.50 train was at Headcorn when I left the bridge to go back. I don't believe that I ever went a mile further than that. On Friday last I first saw the tidal train below Headcorn. I was standing in the sixfoot with the flag out over the up line. I waved it in every direction. I first heard the whistle as the train got just past me. There was then a double whistle. I could not tell whether the brakes were On. or the steam shut off as the train passed me. By the Rev. Mr. Moore (foreman of the jury)—l did not go out to warn the 2.50 train, but Benge told me they were going to put atimber in after it had gone up, so I went out with my flag. By Mr. Abrahams —I thought I could have stopped the train in that distance of ten telegraph posts. I have stopped trains before at that place since we have been on that job. I have done so four times with other trains—not a tidal train, but three ballast trains and a single engine. I think if the engine-driver had been keeping a look out they would have been able to see my flag and stop in time. By Mr. minter--Benge said to me, "Now, John, take your flag and go out." He did not say, "Mind you go far enough." I did all in my power to stop the train as Boort as I saw it, and I continued to do so till the train passed. After I saw an accident had happened I Went back towards Headcorn to stop the mail. By Mr. Freeland—l made a mark in the ground where X stood at the time, so that it should be known. David Ovenden, superintendent of the county police, re called, said—On Friday last, on the information I received, I went down to the place of the occurrence, and about 9 o'clock saw Mr. Eborall and Benge there. Mr. Eborall asked Benge how the accident had occurred, and Benge said in. reply, "Well, sir, I mislooked the time-book. I looked at the Saturday instead of Friday, and thought that I had plentyof time." After this conversation was over I returned to the prisoner and said to him, " I am about to apprehend you. You aro charged with the manslaughter of the per sons who have been killed by the accident this afternoon, and you must now consider yourself my prisoner." He said, " Very well ; it's a bad job." I searched him, and found ou. him the general service time-book for June, which I now produce. That book shows that the tidal train on Friday was due at Headcorn at 3 15, and at Staplehurst at 3 19. hOunraStaatut 5 24. H Saturday it waso had n due at o ok s h 2 o oat o Headcorn, rules. eadcona, and at Staple. Mr. Healey, manufacturing engineer, 108, Dorset-street, Fleet-street, said that he had been stopping at Staplehurst, and on going to the spot examined the brakes and fount; them on as far as concerned tbe carriages on the line. Tho engine seemed to have been reversed, from the position of the levels. The tender brakes could not have been put ou after the accident as the machinery was so much dis arranged. _ _ _ The inquiry was adjourned to Monday next at 12 o'clock. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. The Fatal Accident on the South Eastern Railway. STAPLEHURST, Friday. The adjouited inquiry into the deaths of the lb persons who were killed by the oversotting of the tidal train on Friday, the 9th inst., was resumed this day, at 12 o'clock, by Mr. W. T. geve, the coroner for West Kent, at the South-Eastern public-house. Mr. Eborall, the general manager ; Mr. Knight, the gene ral superintendent; Mr. John Harris, deputy-superinten dent; Mr. Cudworth, locomotive engineer; Mr. Freeland, the solicitor, and other officials of the company, represented their interests. Mr. Vining, solicitor, of 4, Moorgate street-buildings, appeared for the family of Mrs. Whitby ; Mr. Abrahams, solicitor, of Gresb am-street, for the relatives of Mr. Mercer (killed), and two of the injured; and other legal gentlemen were also present. Capt. Ruston, the chief of the county constabulary, was also in attendance ; Capt. Rich, from the Board of Trade, was also present. The prisoner was brought up in custody of Superinten dent Ovenden, from Cranbrook, and was defended by Mr. John Minter, jun., solicitor, or Cranbrook. The jury having answered to their names (with the Rev. Mr. Moore as foreman), the evidence was proceeded with as follows : Edward Coleman deposed—l am a carpenter, and live at Willsborough. I have been in the permanent employ of the South-Eastern Railway Company for nearly three fears. I have worked in a gang of four carpenters and one labourer. I know Henry Benge, who was foreman of the platelayers. We have lately been repairing the rails and works at the Stourbridge viaduct. Ido not know whether it is called Beult-bridge. I have seen the platelayers at work taking up the rails and putting in new ones after we had done the timbers. We assisted each other. The work had been going on about three weeks or a month ; but I cannot say exactly the time. The carpenters took out the old timbers and replaced them with new. Dawson was the leading man of the carpenters. We had nearly completed the work to the viaduct. The taking up of the two rails and the timber and putting in new wood would take sometimes half an hour, depending on how the work came out. On Friday afternoon the platelayers took up two of the rails on the up-line--the outside rail. One timber had been taken out. We were not supposed to break any road without Daw son's sanction ; and we therefore removed the timberunder his direction. We commenced taking up the rail on Friday, after the up-train due at Staplehurst at 2.50 had passed. I do not know whether the train was up to its time. Ido not know who took the rail up, but when they had done so the carpenters began taking the timbers out. We had got ono piece out outside the girders, but none inside. The rails were two 21ft. rails, and the timber we took out was about 13ft. We were in the act of taking out a piece of old timber inside the girder when the tidal train approached, but Ido not know anything about the time. My attention was drawn to the train by one of the men saying the train was coming. I cannot say who said that. I heard no whistle. We could hardly tell what it was at first, whether engine or train, at that distance, as near as I could judge a mile off. A signalman, John Whiles, had been sent back before the rails were taken up, in fact before the other train, the 2.50 came to us. Ido not know how far he had been ordered to go back. He had a red flag with him. I saw him wave the flag as he stood by the side of the four-foot, and Mr. Mansell, who has since measured the distance, said it was 554 yds. 6 in. Whiles appeared to me to be on the inner rail on the four-foot on the up-line. I will not swear as to the distance, but Whiles himself pointed out to me where he was standing. I saw him wave the flag in the front of the engine. I heard the whistle when the train was nearer to me than the signalman was. It was a continuous whistle after I first heard it. I should think the train was three or four telegraph post lengths past the signalman. I did not hear any fog signals, but there might have been some with out my hearing them. The train did not appear to slacken, as it came on very fast indeed ; but you could not tell in the confusion. We ran towards the train when we first hoard the whistle, making all the signs we could to stop the train. Did you hear Bongo say anything about having made a mistake ?—I cannot swear I did. Did you hear him say anything ?—He said, " Oh, dear ! here's the boat train—what shall we do ?" Did you hear him say anything as to the boat train being due that afternoon 2—l heardhim say—at breakfast time, I think—that it was due at 5 20. He was then looking at the general service time-book. John Dawson had another book, but it was no use, having been partially destroyed. Benge can read moderately well. I have several times heard him reading his Bible at dinner and other meal times. I cannot say whether any fog signals had been used. Mr. Gallimore the district inspector, frequently came, but I have not been present when he gave instructions as to the work to be done. By the Rev. Mr. Moore, foreman of the jury —It is no part of our work to know whether fog signalsare sent back in fine weather. It is always the practice to send back a signalman when the rails are interfered with. By another Juror—The foreman looked at his book beforo the rails were moved. lam accustomed to see the signal men sent back, and I think he went back about the usual distance. Whiles pointed out the spot where he was stand ing. I think we measured the distance on Monday. By Mr. Vining—The timber we removed was the support of the outer rail. It was necessary to take out the inner timber of the rail to replace the new one. The outer tim ber lay on the ballast, and beyond the girder. The next piece did not span the opening by eight or ten feet. We were not above ten minutes taking out the timber, and we had the new piece ready to put in, and it is there now. The signalman was sent back to signal anything that might come, but not for the boat train. He did not return before the boat train. By Mr. Abrahams—Benge spoke about the boat train being due at 5.20 at breakfast time on Friday morning be tween nine and ten. The men tere talking about the time different trains were duo, and spoke of the boat train as the chief one they had to look after. By Mr. Freeland—There is a crossing which enabled me to tell where the signalman was. It is called Sloman's crossing, and I believe it was beyond that. By a Juror—lt would take from ten minutes to half an hour to have the timber put in. Half an hour would be the extreme time. By the Coroner—l am speaking of making the line pass able again—replacing the timber and the rails. By Capt. Osborne (a juror)—l have not got any book of instructions. William Allen, a platelayer in the service of the com pany for nearly three years, deposed that he knew Benge, who was a very steady man. Witness thought they had been at work for some months at the two bridges—the Stanley viaduct and the big viaduct. The big viaduct was where the train was upset. They began to work at six o'clock, and kept on till breakfast time. He did not hear any consultation about the boat train at breakfast time. Coleman, the last witness, sat near—next but one on wit ness's right hand. Could not call to mind that Benge re ferred to the time-table, nor say whether any question was put as to when the boat train was due. Witness did not know when to expect the train. As soon as the train (2.50 up) passed they all commenced taking up the rails. Benge directed the operations. The signalman was started away before the 2.50 train, and went be low, and crossed at Mr. Sloman's farm. When witness first saw the train he should say it was a mile off. By Capt. Usbome (a juror)—l did not see any difference in the speed when the train came on to the bridge. It was the ordinary speed of the tidal train. By the Foreman of the Jury—A signalman is not sent back when they are taking out a key or anything of that sort. Witness heard Benge say something about " mistook the train" after the accident. By Mr. Abrahams—On that bridge the train is visible when it gets to Headoorn. By Mr. Vining—The men all ran towards the train, trying to warn them, but he (witness) did not think any of them got more than thirty yards before the train was up to them and over. By Mr. Steele (solicitor, of Bloomsbury-square, who ap peared for Major Francis)—The job they were about would have taken an hour and a quarter, perhaps; but some tim bers are got out much easier than others. Witness heard a long continuous whistle, which lasted till the train went over. By Mr. Freeland—Witness was not a carpenter, and could not tell how long the timber work would take to do. By a Juror—The line was sometimes broken twice or three times a day, and that day twice before the occurrence they were inquiring into. Ry Mr. Minter, jun. (who appeared for Benge and Mr. Gillamore, the district inspector of the line) —The train was up to them very soon. Witness did not hoar any one say " Good God, she's past the signal," as far as he could recollect. Ile could not say whether they began to run before the train passed the signal. By Capt. Usborne—When witness saw the train a mile off, he thought it would stop ; but it appeared almost di rectly to be "coming at such a stroke" that they were frightened, and got out of the road. It was hardlya minute before the train was on to them. John Dawson said—l am a carpenter in the engineer's department of the South-Eastern Railway Company, and leading hand of a gang. We have been working with Benge's gang for about ten we e ks , between Staplehurst and Headcorn. We have been new timbering the two viaducts during the whole of that time. It took about an hour to get an old timber out and make the rail good again. On Friday last we had broken the rail twice and made it good again. The first time after the 7.20 train from Dover, and the "pick-up" passed at 11. The line was broken 3 .14 I
