Railways , and the line will pass through and accommodate t jalrePortant districts of New-cross, Deptford , Rother „ - -e, Wapping, St. George-in-the-East, Limehouse, Step - Whitechapel, Bethnal-green, Bishopsgate, and Shore ditch, and afford an outlet by the principal railways of the 4 -ingdom to the most densely-populated parts of the metro- Polls. 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 )l etropolitan Railway, and throu g h that line with the Great N ort h ern, 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 The traffic has now been most abundantly demonstrated. Metropolitan Railway, with only 31 miles opened, and the heart of the City as yet unreached, carries more Itr Londonha the Great Eastern with 665 miles ; than Midl and and South-Western with 513 miles; or the hn 'and with 641 miles opened ; and the receipts from ' - eA s sengers per mile per week exceed, by more than 50 por 4 41 ,, t, the united receipts per mile per week for passengers igoods of the seven great railways having termini in ° Von. bA ' he cost the proerty required for the line will be less than of that of p any other metropolitan railway, and tliAsufficiently provided for by the estimates. The length of e6. l ,, il lelincluding . junction branches, is between seven and nnles, of which the land for the terminal station at th ver pool-street, and for nearly one mile of its course 149 h ligh the most expensive district, is purchased jointly l e , T, the Great Eastern Railway, the one running at a high and the other at a low level over the property, 4 , „Which arrangement• fully a quarter of a million will be T unnel On th e sou th ern s ide of the river, from the Thames bet to th e j unc ti ons o f the Southern Railways, the cost b e ' mile will be very moderate, whilst the tunnel itself has th:11 obtained without risk of construction at a little more r A one-third of its original cost. ne cost of construction is fixed beyond doubt by Wagerrients concluded with Messrs. Brassey, Lucas and n ues, for a contract, at prices which will make the total Z4,of the works considerably less than the amount allowed ,ne Parliamentary estimate. b an" , he revenue to be derived from this line can be esti „i`ed with equal certainty. ordinary receipts of the Metropolitan Railway are 17 ; a More than £740 per mile per week from passengers 3 nd the expenses for the half-year ending December r , 18 64, were 41 per cent. the then receipts. This t i l venue is derived from a line connecting, at one end only, I,e terminus of one great trunk line with the City, whilst i , te East London will not only connect three great southern t ia es with the City, but will also connect them with the 'Them and eastern systems of railways. 444 he large population which this line will accommodate, tr a c c , the high through rates which it will receive for the f ,„ 'te derived from the great lines with which it will be ected, leave no doubt that its receipts per mile from t a a „ BB ogers alone will exceed those of the Metropolitan Per 'way. But assuming the East London receipts to be, i)resTile, not more than those on the Metropolitan in its nt incomplete and undeveloped state, and calculating h o e , r eeeipts on six miles only of the East London Railway, lar substantially to confine the calculation to the main g ., to income from passengers will be £230,880 per at Tn., to which must be added for merchandise and coal, k 4 low estimat e , £100,000 ; m a king a total gross income 4,330,880 ; which, after deduction of 41 per cent. for 41 ) (3 _ 1 ' 41 1g expenses, will leave a net income of £195,220, or T O 14 per cent. on the cost of the line. or ° investors, the rapidity with which this line can be f a V l ed for traffic, and its security from competition, are ~,!; of great importance.

SECRETARY (PRO TEM.)--John Healy, Esq. TEMPORARY OFFICES. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London, E.C. PROSPECTUS The manufacture of Ordnance 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 £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. DEBENTURES ISSUED BY T HE CREDIT FONCIER AND MOBILIER OF ENGLAND (Limited), ISSUE OF £500,000 DEBENTURES WITH INTEREST PAYABLE QUARTE RLY. The Directors have decided to issue Debenture Bonds of the Company for the amounts and bearing interest as under, viz. : ..-•. In sums of LIO, £2O, £5O, £lOO, £250, £5OO, and £I,OOO, with coupons attached. INTEREST. For three years 6 per cent. per annum. For five years For seven years .. Interest payable quarterly—viz., on the 30th March, 30th June, 30th September, and 30th December in each year, at the Company's Bankers. The first payment of interest will be made on the 30th June next. The distinctive feature in the debentures issued by this Company is their perfect security ; the amount of the capital subscribed, paid-up, and uncalled, and the general invested assets of the Company, as well as the large reserve fund. affording the most ample security to the investor. These Debentures are issued payable to bearer, and can there'ore pass oy simple delivery from hand to hand, without endorsement, and are free from any further stamp duty. They are also issued—to meet the requirements of Trustees and others—transferrable by Deed only, to be duly registered in the Company's Books in the names of the Investors or their Assigns.

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 Cheype-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 les s 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 £3,000 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. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Directors of the Albert-bridge Company.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS Or LONDON. 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 " l'uoch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and 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 advertisiny. columns of low newspapers, amongst which too mauy of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in tie pamphi-t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks an .Quackery." and is to be had at the " Medici' 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 forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishes. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by con,ulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for 'hat of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

The adjourned inquiry into the deaths of the 10 persons who were killed by the oversetting of the tidal train on Friday, the 9th inst., was resumed this day, at 12 o'clock, by Mr. W. T. Neve, 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 Gresham-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 years. I have worked in a gang of four carpentere and one labourer. I know Henry Benge, who was foreman of the pl..+olvera. 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. Tho 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 one piece out outside the girders, but none inside. Tho 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 I do 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. Ho 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 heard 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 P—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 duo that afternoon ?—I heard him 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. Bengo 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 signals are 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 before 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 ho 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. lie 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 were talking about the time different trains were due, and spoke of the boat train as the chief one they had to look after. By Mr. Freeland—Thero 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 bo the extreme time. By the Coroner—l am speaking of making the line pais 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 Bongo 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. Bongo 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. Usborne (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 Headeorn. 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 wore inquiring into. Ry Mr. Minter, jun. (who appeared for Bongo and Mr. Gillamore, the district inspector of the line) —The train was up to them very soon. Witness did not hear any ono say " Good God, she's past the signal," as far as ho could recollect. Ho could not say whether they began to rim 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 harcllya 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 Bongo's gang for about ten weeks, between Staplehurst and Ileadcorn. 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 lino_ was broken pe to see whether there was time to finish a job. Benge and myself used to consult together sometimes as to the time at which they ought to take up the rails. By the Jury—My attention was called to the coming train when it was about four telegraph lengths off, and ono of my mates called out, " Look out, Jack; here's the boat train coming," and I got out of the way. Although I am called leading man, I have no more wages than anybody else. 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 see 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. By Mr. Steele--I 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 sider myself under his orders as to that matter: If I had told him my timbers were not ready he would not have 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 dono between the'time of the trains, and the ordinary preeau,- ttOtIS on all reptitissupposed 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 ho 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 nut 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 Cromer 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 big 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. By Mr. Vining—There was ample time to do the job be tween the ordinary trains. 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 ho would take the com mand. 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 throe* times a week. This inspector has 36 miles to inspect, and where the line is so easy as this that would not be an extra distance. In the absenco of the inspector Benge would be solely responsible. I think wo have a right to expect that a man in Bongo's position is capable of sending a man out with a flag to keep the line clear; and I think he is tho best person to have the responsibility, or he might take up the rails at any time. If the responsibility was put on ovine him it would tend to increase the chances of accident. It ho 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 Captain Usborne (a juror)—l do not say the regula-., tions were sufficient, but I do say that if the regulations had been carried out, it would have been sufficient. I have not any hesitation in saying that I know, from my own inquiry, that the regulations aro habitually disregarded ; but ray inquiry was not on oath. 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 oh served ; they were quite sufficient. By Mr. Abrahams—l think the engine-driver ought to have known of thh 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 bo 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 six foot 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 Igoing to put a timber in after it had gone up, so I went out with my flag. By Mr. Abrahams --I thought I could have stopped thek train in that distance of ten telegraph posts. I have stoppel 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, taka 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 soon 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 I 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 plenty of time." After this conversation was over I returned! to the prisoner and said to him, " I am about to apprehend you. You are 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 oa 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. On Saturday it was due at 5 20 at Headcorn, and at Staple hurst at 5 24. He had no book of rules. Mr. Healey, manufacturing engineer, 108, Dorset-street, Fleet-street, said that he had been stopping at Staplehurst, and on going to the spilt examined the brakes and found them on as far as concerned the carriages on the line. The engine seemed to have been reversed, from the position of the levels. The tender brakes could not have been put on after the accident as the machinery was so much dis. arranged. The inquiry was adjourned to Monday next at 12 o'clock. SAILORS' ORPHAN GIRLS' SCHOOL and HO 11E, Hampstead. Offices. 77, Cornhill. PATRON —The QUEEN. TRUSTEES. _ Capt. the lion.
