The commercial public are awaiting in suspense the result of the weekly Court of Bank of England Directors, whose meeting is delayed from 12 o'clock, the usual hour, till 2 o'clock, in consequence of this being Ascension Day, and in order that the autho rities may attend Divine service. The probability of an advance in the rate of discount induces the brokers to refuse all negotiations of bills, provided an extra one per cent. be accepted should the up ward movement take place. Business, however, in the open market is merely nominal, and nearly all the commercial paper brought forward is, therefore, taken to the bank. The gold operations at the Bank yesterday con sisted of £16,000 sent in, and £ll,OOO withdrawn. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this date, are in round figures as 1866. 1865. under:- Great Western • £71,744 £69,397 Nort Western ...

THE WHIPPING OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS BT THE POLlCE.—OnTuesday a correspondence was issued, in which Major Penrhyn, chairman of the petty sessional division of Richmond, complains to Sir George Grey that a sergeant of the metropolitan police declined to whip a boy sentenced by the bench to twelve strokes of a birch rod for stealing wood, without imprisonment, the constable stating that it was contrary to the order of the Commis- Colter of Police. Sir George Grey replies that by the act whipping may be inflicted out of prison, and that a metro politan police constable cannot refuse to obey the orders Which the justices are empowered to give. In the mean time the Richmond bench should provide some suitable Place IYhtro l a luzi§4u2l9latfi Way No 411 93 95 24 20 1161 ) 91 03 59 60 124 ;25 2 Zip 1 1 Iti ) 92 95 122 1221 It 2 92 g 4 67 68 8 27 10'3 lon 71 72 109 1:0 36 3811 , 10 11 pi 120 124 1 2p 1 2p 74 76 108 112 149 151 66 68 48 60 73 74 8 9 140 143 1 3 100 103 52 54 iESSIONS. 64 56 103 104 i iP 4i 5 8 9 76 80 96 98 62 67 100 102 101 102 1031 1046 91 23 85 87 63 66 55 60 55 57 50 55 41 41 4k) 41 25 27 25 27 109 i 1 2 p 1 2 p 99 101 91 93 19 16 5 4id 9!

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE rRIEDLANDER AND BERGER. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) These bankrupts are described as clothiers of Addle street, Aldermanbury, and to-day they applied for an order of discharge. Mr. Treherne, of the firm of Treherne and Wolferstan, 75, Aldermanbury, on the part of the assignees, applied that there might be an adjournment. It was necessary that the assignees should make inquiries as to the £2,000 worth of consignments to foreign countries. The bank rupts owed over £5,000, the debts being contracted within a year, and the property in the bands of the assignee had only realised some £2O. Under these circumstances he (Mr. Treherne) applied that the case might be again adjourned. Mr. Reed, in support of the bankrupts, urged that his clients had been before the Court now twelve months, and ought to Lave their orders of discharge. The assignee had plenty of opportunity to make inquiries during the past ton months. The bankrupts were young men, who commenced with a capital of £5OO, and they bad lost every farthing of it. His Honour considered that the application made by the assignee was not unreasonable, and adjourned the case as requested, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. -0. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GANG OF SHOP-ROBBERS COMMITTED. - T homa Thorpe, Nathaniel Loder, John Daniels, and Thomas Rumley, lads, wero charged with cutting tho window of Mr. John Bolond, tobacconist, Old Compton-street, and with stealing a quantity of cigars. Only two of the prisoners were in custody when the case was brought before the magistrates. Cheney, 87 C, on the night of the Ist saw the prisoner near Mr. Belond's window. Thorpe went up to the win dow and cut the putty from a pane of glass, and broke the glass, and then Loder pulled the piece of glass out with something and took out a quantity of cigars—Rumley and Daniels standing round keeping a look out. The prisoners then all ran away, and ho followed them and took hold of all of them, but in consequence of one of them biting his thumb, ho was obliged to let them go, and they all got away but Thorpe, whom ho took to the station. lie subse quently took Loder, who, on his telling him the charge, said it was all right, and that ho was there. Shrives, 82 0, said that on taking Bromley into custody he admitted being with the others, but that he did not know what they were going to do. Ile found on Burnley £7 Gs. 61, and at his lodgings a life preserver (a novel kind of one, it being only about half the usual size, but evidently quite as formidable.) Mr. Beloud proved that his window was broken, and a quantity of cigars stolen. George Madgett, 74 S, said that Daniels had been three times convicted of felony, the last time at the Marylebono Police-court. The prisoners, who declined saying anything, were com. mitted for trial. THAMES. MENDICANCY.—DanieI Twobig and Johanna Twobig wore brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with soliciting alms. The male prisoner, about 50 years of ago, an Irish man, is quite blind. His child, a delicate-looking little creature by his side, is seven years of age. William Bur, 10G K, saw the prisoners last night stand ing against the London Dock wall, in Old Gravel-lane, Ratcliffe-highway. There was a large printed card on the man's breast, with the following inscription on it :—" Kind feeling for this poor man, who is blind through an acci dent." He saw a woman put something in the blind man's hat, which he took out and gave to the child. He found sd. upon her. Tho prisoners had been in custody in the City, and were not allowed to beg there. Mr. Partridge—Nor can it be permitted in the county of Middlesex. The elder prisoner, in a strong Munster brogue, said that he had five children to maintain, besides the little one by his side, and that his wife worked very hard for them all. He went out occasionally with matches and other things for sale. He could not help people giving him money. Mr. Partridge was reluctant to send a man who was deprived of his sight to prison, but he could not allow him to beg. The worst part of the case was the bringing up a child to vagrancy. The girl ought to be at school. He asked the male prisoner who his priest was, and whether he attended his chapel. The prisoner said that Father Kelly was his priest, and he went to chapel sometimes. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner should consult hif; priest and send his child to school. If ever the prisoner was brought before him again he would send him to prison and to hard labour. A blind man was entitled to parochial relief, and the prisoner must not take his children into the streets and make vagrants of them. He discharged the prisoners. Bur—What am I to do with the money ? Mr. Partridge—Give it to the blind man und destroy let begging card. STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, 9th.—The hosiery trade continues active in most departments. Cotton goods are in demand, as also are most sorts of regular goods. Manufacturers are well engaged in the ware houses with orders on hand, and the operatives are fully employed. In the rural districts business con- tinues in a satisfactory state. Worsted yarns are quiet, without material change in price. Cotton yarns are lower. The wool market is flat. NOTTINGHAM, 9th.—There is a shade of improve ment in the demand for lace goods. In the cotton branch there is rather more doing. Still the busi ness transacting is not an average. The plain trade continues quiet. In the silk department black laces remain in limited demand, while the plain mech]in trade remains active, future prospects being also good. Narrow edgings are dull. The hosiery trade is extremely brisk. The home demand keeps up to a full average. There are plenty of orders on hand, both for shipping and for the home market, and the workpeople are fully employed. Yarns are dull, and prices are receding. T 'RIAL FOR MURDER.—The Court of Assizes of the Haute -Marne has just tried a farm-servant named Pernot, aged 27, and a lad named Protoy, 16, charged with having murdered the father of the last-named prisoner, a woodman residing at Consigny. The murdered man's wife had also been arrested as an accomplice in the crime, but she committed suicide almost immediately after by taking poison. It appears from the indictment that Protoy and his wife had long lived very unhappily together, owing to the misconduct of the latter. In May last she formed an adulterous connection with Pernot, and kept him for some days concealed in the house unknown to her husband. The pre sence of her paramour was at last discovered, and he was obliged to leave, but he frequently returned, and at last the wife and ho determined to murder the hus band and then got married. The son was also induced by his mother to take part in the plot against his father's life, which was carried into execution on the 10th October. On that day Pernot went to the house and concealed him self in the cellar. Protoy had some suspicion of this, and was going down the steps to see, when his wife dealt him a blow on the head which caused him to fall to the bottom, and he was murdered there by Perrot and the son. During the night the three re moved the body from the cellar and threw it into a well. Pernot then left, intending to remain away for some weeks, but previously sent a letter to his mother in which he admitted having killed Protoy in a quarrel. This fact having come to the knowledge of the police the three were arrested, and, when pressed with questions, confessed the particulars of the crime as above given, but after the woman's death the other two pretended that she alone had struck the fatal blows. In Court they repeated their story, first tt confession;th e the j evidenceury consequentlyproved th e brought in a verdict of guilty against both, but with ex tenuatingttrhuisthoflast circumstances in favour of the younger prisoner, who was condemned to hard labour for life, while the other was sentenced to death. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—The third and final re port of the Cattle Plague Commission has just been issued. It considers scientifically the symptoms, nature, origin, method of propagation, and treatment of the disease. As was stated in their second report the commis sioners requested some of the most eminent physicians, veterinary surgeons, and chemists of the day to investi gate the cattle plague from various scientific points of view. The reports made by those gentlemen are printed in the Appendix to the Report of the Commissioners. So me o f them represent that their investigations might with advan tage be carried still further, and the commissioners recom mend these suggestions to the consideration of the Govern ment. But enough has already been ascertained to supply us with some valuable results. They renew the recom mendation for the slaughter or quarantine of cattle at the ports of disembarkation, and urge that advantage should be taken of the present opportunity to render permanent those alterations in the supply of meat to large towns which it has been proved could be effected with such little com parative inconvenience. From the opinions of the com missioners that the disease is purely contagious, and that no method of treatment or disinfection can be relied on, the conclusion is obvious that our measures must be almost entirely directed towards preventing contagion, and that such measures should be both stringent and continuous. A KIND CONTRIBUTION.—The scholars of Nichol street, Spitalfields, Ragged School have contributed, in pence and half-pence, the handsome sum of £4, in aid of the Lifeboat Fund now being raised in many of the Sun day Schools in London for the purchase of a lifeboat, to be pounted t 9 the Li49)?9At kl§titUtiOn. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. 'f he Cholera at Liverpool. We regret to state that notwithstanding the very effective measures which had been taken to prevent any further outbreak of cholera on board the hospi tal ships War Cloud and Jessie Munn, three more deaths have taken place on board thelast-named ship. As soon as it became known to the workhouse au thorities that there were three more deaths on board the Jessie Munn, the bodies were at once removed to shore, when they were placed in a hearse and con veyed to IValton Cemetery, where they were interred with all possible haste, On Tuesday evening three more of the people on board the same vessel in which the deaths occurred were attacked with cholera, and Dr. Trench, the medical officer of health for the borough, believes that additional medical aid will be required, and also states that the crew and officers on board the Jessie Munn are almost paralysed with fear. Several extra nurses and four men have been sent on board the infected vessel, to assist those already in attendance on the sick. The work of fumi gating the Helvetia is still proceeded with, and every thing is being done to clear the ship of the slightest taint of the disease. The healthy German passen gers which have been transferred to the Government Emigration Depot at Birkenhead continue compara tively well ; the use of " sauer-kraut" has been abo lished, and a better acquaintance with the wash-tub and skin-brush has been insisted on. Last night a body of about 200 emigrants, in charge of an in spector of lodging-houses, were taken to the work house, they having been removed from several Ger man lodging-houses, to prevent overcrowding. They were accommodated for the night, and went away early yesterday morning. About 10 o'clock • yesterday morning 20 additional beds were sent on board the Jessie Munn, so that she has now accom modation for 32 patients. Since the above was written we hear that another death has occurred on board the Jessie Munn, and that several other cases have broken out. In spite of every precaution the cholera has broken out amongst the Germans in the depot at Birkenead ; and yesterday afternoon three of the emigrants were attacked with cholera, and one of them, a female, is not expected to survive. Medical assist ance and nurses have been sent, and precautions taken to stop the spread of this dreadful disease. FURTHER DEATHS AMONG GERMAN EMIGRANTS. (Front the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) The news received from the Helvetia yesterday is, we regret to say, not of reassuring character. The frightful disease appears still to linger among the German emigrants, and seems to baffle the skill of the medical men to eradicate it. Late on Mon day night, Mr. Carr, the governor of the work house, received information that three more deaths had occurred among the emigrants on board the Jessie Munn, the ship lashed alongside the Helvetia for the reception of cholera patients, and that the bodies were required to be brought on shore. Mr. Carr at once directed that the hearse should be in readiness to meet the tender—and at two o'clock the bodies were brought on shore and transferred to Walton for interment. The three persons —a man, woman, and child—who have succumbed to the disease, are Germans. Yesterday afternoon information was given to the parochial authorities that another German emigrant had died on board the Jessie Munn. There are now three Germans on board the Jessie Munn suffering from cholera. They are in charge of the nurses sent from the workhouse ; but we understand that Dr. Trench has intimated that there is great want of additional me dical aid. The crew and officers seemed to be panic struck, and in consequence considerable difficulty is found in dealing with the cases under treat ment. In view of this state of affairs, Mr. Carr offered the assistance of eight men from the work house, who at once volunteered to go un board the Jessie Munn to render what assistance they could in carrying the sick, &c., and in helping to disin fect the Helvetia. These volunteers went on board last night. Arrangements have been made for the reception of those German emigrants who are well, and who were on board the Helvetia at the emigration depot at Birkenhead. The work of cleaning and fumi gating the Helvetia will be commenced to-day (Wednesday). A number of Germans still continue at the work house ; and we regret to say that, notwithstanding the precautions which have been taken, cholera has broken out amongst them. Several lodging-houses in the town resorted to by Germans are still very much crowded. The health officers are keeping a strict supervision over them, and in many cases where more than the proper number is located steps are being taken to clear the houses. Large numbers of German emigrants still con tinue to arrive in town. On Monday night 191 Germans arrived at Lime-street station from Ham burg, via Hull, and late same night about 200 arrived at Tithebarn-street station from the same place. BRISTOL AND EXETER. Yesterday a special meeting of this company was held at Bristol—Mr. M. Castle in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the meeting agreed to a bill for transferring the Brean Down Railway at Weston-super-Mare to the company ; to convert a horse tramway at Bridgwater into a loco motive line, in order to connect the Bristol and Exe ter Railway with the Corporation wharf; and to lay down the narrow gauge between Bridgwater and Yeovil, and to make a junction with the narrow gauge Central Somerset line at Highbridge; to raise £125,000 on shares and to borrow £41,500. Mr. ELLIS, on the part of the shareholders, ap proved the narrow gauge bQing laid down on one section of the system, and he hoped before long they would obtain powers to lay it down over the whole system. to the comp any The meetin g nex t approve d a bill f or th e t rans fe r of the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal for £64 , 00 0 4 per cent. preference stoc k ; an d also approved the Bristol Harbour Railway Bill to enable the city to contribute £50,000 towards the construction of a wharf ; and the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Companies to expend £115,000 in making a junction line between it and the Bristol terminus. The proceedings terminated with thanks to the chairman. BRISTOL AND PORTISHEAD. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at Bristol—Mr. J. Ford in the chair. The meeting agreed to a bill for the alteration o. their pier at Portishead. The CHAIRMAN, in~ reply to a shareholder, said that the railway would be finished and opened for traffic before the pier was completed. SUNNINGDALE AND CAMBRIDGE TOWN. In the account of the proceedings at the meeting of this company which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday it was stated " that some dissatisfaction was expressed at the delay in the commencement of the works," it should have been "at the delay in the completion of the works." SMYRNA AND CASSABA (LIMITED.) A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. J. W. Larking in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the object of the meeting was to confirm a certain resolution passed at the general meeting held on the 17th of last month authorising alterations in the Articles of Association. The alterations were in clauses 12, 33, 34, 41, 59, 61, and 62. He then read the verbal alterations in the clauses, the principal ones being in clause 83, which, after omitting certain words, the following were to stand in lieu thereof :-- " A director shall be deemed to have vacated his office if he ceases to hold at least 50 shares in the company. If he holds any other office or place of profit under the company, if he becomes bankrupt or insolvent, if he is concerned or participates in the profit of any contract with the company ; except that no director shall be deemed to have vacated his office by reason of his being a shareholder in any incorporated company which has entered into contracts with or done any work with this company, nevertheless he shall not vote as director of this company in respect of such contract or work." He concluded by moving a formal resolution con firming those and the other alterations embodied in the resolution passed at the general meeting on the 18th April last. The motion vas seconded and carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN said that the receipts on the line were progressing very satisfactorily. The four last weeks they had an account which amounted to £748, £906, £1,579, and £909 —together, £4,142, or above £l,OOO a week. Mr. &BUELL said that some objections had been made to his observations (at the last meeting re specting the security the company had to give the bondholders. They had a guarantee from the Turk ish Government of £40,000 a year ; but it was not upon that he relied so much as upon the chair man and directors, who received the money for the traffic every week, and, after paying the working expenses, placed the surplus at the bankers to pay the interest when due. The line had been opened throughout in March last, and they were now in receipt of £l,OOO a week on the average, so that they would have ample money in hand to meet the interest when due, and he could not understand any difference between the security of this company, although the railway was in Turkey, and that of an English railway of similar extent. He thought, therefore, that he was fully justified in the remarks he had made. He preferred the hard cash in the hands of the company every week to the guarantee of any foreign Government. Mr. PRICE said the railway had been opened throughout on March 15 last, and the passenger traffic had already exceeded their expectations. The line, rolling stock, and staff were as good as those of any company in England, and he was at present quite satisfied with the receipts, which he felt con fident would soon show a considerable increase. The proceedings then terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. gAILWAY BILLS.

The Sunday Trading Bill. Last evening a crowded meeting of the retail dealers and traders of Whitechapel and neighbour hood was held at the Exhibition Clothes Exchange, Houndsditch, "To protest" (as stated by the cir cular convening the meeting), " against the unjust and arbitrary bill now before the House of Lords as affecting trade and hawking." —Mr. Moss in the chair, The CHAIRMAN said the bill introduced by Lord Chelmsford was a most unfair measure, inasmuch as it did not at all affect the interest of the well-to do tradesman at the West-end, but extinguished the business of some hundreds of small tradesmen, who supplied thousands of the poorer classes with the necessaries of life. It was true that the Fran chise Bill of Mr. Gladstone proposed to give the working classes a vote, but he would ask them what was the use of giving them political advantages when they had no chance of providing for the neces sities of their own families by honest industry ? and no chance some thousands would have if the bill of Lord Chelmsford was carried. Political liberty under these circumstances was a farce, more than a farce, when a section, and not a small section, of the community was thrown into a state of starva tion by the action of its legislators. This was the first of a series of meetings, and he hoped that they would combine to defeat the measure, which he de nounced as unfair, one-sided, and partial. Mr. LEVY was sure that although the meeting was composed of representatives of the humbler classes, if it was made known that they would labour under an injustice Parliament would not refuse to listen to their prayer. (Hear.) He moved—" That the bill introduced into the House of Lords in refe rence to selling and hawking on Sundays is most unjust and arbitrary, favouring many tradesmen, oppressing others, and deeply affecting many thou sands of the poorer classes." Mr. ROHALL said this was not an honest bill. It was introduced for the purpose of getting the thin end of the wedge in, as the bill was one of excep tions, falling on the working classes only. If it was a question affecting the observance of the Sab bath equally throughout the metropolis they would not oppose it ; but it was not so. The West -end tradesmen could do without Sunday trading, and he was sure that the tradesmen of the East-end of the metropolis would not keep open their shops unless for the necessities of thousands of the very poorest of the working classes. Mr. MEDLEY supported the motion, and said the existing laws were quite sufficient to put down Sunday trading. On one occasion he was fined £2 for supplying a poor woman with bread, her husband at the time being almost dead. The motion was carried, as was also a petition to Parliament in opposition to the bill. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting, which had been of a very enthu siastic character, then terminated.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. CLERKS TO JUSTICES BILL. Mr. COLVILLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to prevent clerks to justices in courts undertaking the prosecution in cases sent to quarter sessions. M. r.

Mr. LEEMAN said his experience led him to believe that the bill, instead of being an improvement, would be an obstacle to the administration of justice. Mr. SCOUItFIELD and Mr. G. DENMAN opposed the bill. The bill was eventually negatived without A division, every member who addressed the house having expressed opinions against the measure. VETERINARY SURGEONS' BILL. Mr. HOLLAND moved the second reading of this bill, which was to prevent unqualified persons practising the profession of veterinary surgeon, or assuming the title without first having the diploma issued by the Royal Veterinary College. The bill inflicted certain penalties on all persons who infringed its provisions. Mr. NE ATE thought the bill a most useful one, and he Mr. BRU hoped the h ouse would assent to the proposal.

The second reading of this bill was c a ll ed in due course . but no person rising it was postponed until to-morrow. , COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for resuming the adjourned debate on this bill, Mr. WHITESIDE said he had just entered the house prepared to discuss the merits of the Common Law Courts (Ireland) Bill. He found that it bad been postponed, and he had not now the necessary documents with him to enable him to speak on the Court of Chancery (Ireland) bill. He hoped the Attorney-General for Ireland would not press the proceeding with the measure. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had informed his hon. and learned friend that the bill would be taken that day, and he could not now think it was reasonable to ask for further delay. Mr. WHITESIDE thought it was anything but cour teous to press the motion forward under such circum stances. The Attorney-General for Ireland refused to assent to further delay, and the hon. and learned gentle man (Mr. Whiteside) having availed himself of the tem porary absence of the Speaker for a few minutes to possess himself of the documents he required, the debate was resumed. The hon. and learned gentleman proceeded to discuss the merits of the bill, which contained 193 clauses, and condemned, in the first instance, the num ber of new a p po i ntments proposed in the Irish' Court of Chancery. No person in Ireland asked for the bill, and therefore he contended it was altogether unneces sary. That it was erroneous in abolishing the Masters in Chancery, aad creating two Vice-Chancellors, with staffs almost identical with those which at present existed in the Master's -office. He contended that the act was one of those kinds of measures which led to opinions very un favourable to those who originated such bills. He moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. S. B. MILLER seconded the amendment. Ho said it appeared to him that the Government intended to take the vote on the second reading without giving any ex planation further than the very meagre statement that was made ou the introduction of the bill. Such a course was most objectionable, and therefore he trusted the law officers of the Crown would afford the house some addi tional explanation relative to the motives that induced the introduction of the present bill. General DUNNE thought it was the duty of the Go vernment to afford the information, and in order to give them an opportunity, he moved that the debate be ad journed. Mr. HENLEY also thought that the Irish law officers ought to give the information required. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRLELAND said he was anxious to hear the opinions of hon. members before ho addressed the house. He contended that on the I introduction of the measure his right hon. friend the Attorney-General gave the most perfect and complete explanations of the provisions of the bill, and he was astonished to find that a bill which was based on the unanimous opinion of the legal profes sion in Ireland was so strenuously opposed. The general opinion of all parties in Ireland was that the course of procedure of the Court of Chancery in Ireland was bad, that that of England was good, and therefore the English system should bo extended to Ireland. The hon. and learned member was addressing the house at a quarter to six, at which time the debate ceased, in accord ance with the standing order. BANKRUPTCY BILL. In reply to Mr. AYRTON, Mr. CHILDERS said at present it was proposed to pro ceed with this bill to-morrow, but an application had been made to the Attorney-General for postponement. If it was not taken supply would be the first order. The house then adjourned. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning, as the 6.45 a.m. train from Liverpool was on its way to this city, and just after passing Astley, the guard saw a gentleman fall from one of the first-class carriages an strike against a telegraph post. On the arrival of the train at Ordsal-lane an engine and a truck were sent to search for him, and he was found lying insensible where he had f a llen. He was ta ken u p and brou g ht to th e Man chester 11;,yal Infirmary, whoro he remained insensible the whole of yesterday. It is said that he was on his way to Grimsby. There was only one other o ccupant of the compartment in which the unfortunate gentleman rode, a foreigner, whose name and address have, we believe, been taken by the railway authorities. Upon inquiring at the infirmary last evening we ascertained that the sufferer was Mr. Nathan Goldbaum, of Chestnut -street Liverpool, and that ho had sustained i n j ur i es to the back and head.

HODGSON, M.P.—While driving into Carlisle in a dogcart yesterday Mr. W. N. Hodgson, M.P., met with a serious accident through his horse taking fright on the steep hill to the north of Edenbridge, near the city. The animal ran away and dashed the vehicle against the para pet of the bridge. Mr. Hodgson was thrown out, and fell heavily on his head upon the edge of the flagged footway, sustaining an extensive scalp wound which bled profusely ; he also had a rib broken. lie remained insensible for more than an hour, but rallied a little at night. His condition is still dangerous.
