Colonel Colville, who observed that it was his duty to speak his mind to them in the most unreserved manner, and he should do so. lie saw before him a body of men whose soldier-like appearance was very satisfactory, and who had performed some of the movements as well as could reasonably be expected. He was bound to say, however, that the whole of the movements had not been carried out in such an efficient manner as he could have wished, and this was more espe cially the case with regard to the battalion evolu tions. lie had been informed by their commandant, Colonel Thorold, that some of the battalion meet ings had not been attended by more than 150 men, and they certainly could not expect to learn the details and practice of battalion drill if they did not attend in larger numbers. Whilst engaged in the operations of that evening he found at one time they became much confused, although he was glad which would resu l t i n the loss o f ' hotiasokfreihnflies fingers, and h e b e li eved that would place had th e man been perfectly to see that they soon rec overed themselves again. One young man had me t with an accident by dis nocchononatervogheriransaNtg-Nenvt with his drill. It was probable that many of them who were workmen found it difficult to attend all the drills ; but it was of great impor tance that they should become efficient in this re spect.

The scene of this extraordinary occurrence is the Welwyn Tun ne l, 5 m il es b eyon d Hatfield, between Welwyn Junction and Stevenage, and the narrative of the circumstances collected on the spot is this : Shortly before 11 o'clock a train of goods' " empties" started on Saturday night from the King's-cross goods'station for Hitchin. On reach ing the centre of the Welwyn Tunnel, either from. the bursting of a tube, or some other cause, the engine broke down, and the train was brought to a stand. In this emergency it would have been the duty of Ray, the guard, who was in the brake in the rear of the train, to have gone back out of the tunnel, and given the stopping signal. This pre caution, from a cause not explained, and which, in all probability, never will be explained, as Ray, with his companion was subsequently found in the brake van dead, it is quite clear they did not take. This occurred about 12 30 a.m. ou this (Sunday) morning, and had scarcely taken place when the down Midland goods train, the dri ver n o o f signthael of en d g a i n n g e er o o f n twhrehiLchondhoand side, ran into the tunnel and dashed into the rear of the already broken down train of empties. The violence of the shock was such as to throw the Midland en gine and the heavy train of goods which it was drawing, and which, among other merchandise, was known to contain several waggons laden with casks of oil and other materials of a combustible charac ter, over on to the up line, piling them one upon the other in heaps reaching to the crown of the arch, and completely blocking the tunnel. Whether from consternation or from neglect, no signal of the mis hapgiveu Stevenage, to the andsignalman in alin a e t r e t d h i e b l n y o s r h t o h r e t r n s p e a n c d o toa w rds as of time the Scotch meat train can; up, bringing up the dead meat from the north for the supply of the Monday's Newgate-market, with other goods. This, which was a Great Northern train, entered the tunnel, and dashed into the ruins of the already capsized Midland goods. In a few moments it was discovered that the engine of the Great Northern train had turned over, and that the goods and wag gons of the Midland train had become ignited from the burning coal and cinders of the engine furnaces scattered about. Singular to relate, both drivers and firemen of all the engines had escaped either un hurt or with but slight injuries, and having signalled to the nearest stations, both up and down, what had happened, time first step taken was to look after the guard of the Northern train of empties, Ray, who was found in the midst of the ruins of his brake, frightfully crushed and quite dead, and with him another man, a fireman in the employ of the Metro politan Railway, whom it appears he was conveying surreptitiously down the line to his home, who, al though not quite dead, was in a dying condition and was not expected to survive many hours. The guard of the Northern up-train, Lacey, was also found lying on the line near his brake, most severely injured about the head. He was in the first instance removed to Welwyn, but subsequently was taken to town and placed under the care of Mr. J. T. Kirk wood, of the Euston-road, surgeon to the Great Northern and Midland Companies. Lacey, although suffering from a severe scalp wound and other head injuries, it is hoped, may recover. Information of the occurrence was at once telegraphed to Mr. S. Clarke, the general manager of the line, who resides at Hatfield, and also to the authorities on the northern side ; at Knebworth large bodies of men emplOy.l to got nnf Mint wnagnne tht - 7 but the suffocating character of the smoke and the heat of the fire from the ignited ruins of the car riages and merchandise prevented their efforts being very effective, with the exception of the Scotch train. Further telegrams having been forwarded to London, about two o'clock this morning Mr. Superintendent Williams, with a gang of some 200 men, reached the scene of the disaster. By this time, however, it was known that there were 36 carriages or trucks, 13 of which belonged to the down Midland, all in a blaze. The repeated explo sions rendered any attempt, even if the heat and smoke had not prevented it, to enter the tunnel abortive. From the air shaft smoke. and at inter vals flame, although some 50 or 60 feet in height from the roadway to the summit of the shaft, to gether with sounds resembling the roaring of a mighty cataract or river, indicated the character of the conflagration that was raging underneath. The authorities having taken counsel, in the absence of water and inability to approach the scat of con flagration, it was deemed advisable to let it expend I itself, and be prepared with aid to enter the tunnel and clear the line of the ruins so soon as it should have done so. The fire continued to rage through out the whole of the day, and it was not until 6 p.m. that it had become sufficiently reduced to enable any one to enter the tunnel. At this time a body of men arrived, under command of Mr. SuperintendentWil- Hams, with the Hatfield engine, lent to the company by the Marquis of Salisbury ; and a supply of water having been obtained the engine was set to work, but the ruins were still burning. Hundreds of navvies have arrived, and it is hoped during the night to get the line clear. In the meantime the whole of the traffic has been carried on along the Hertfordbrancb, via Royston and Hitchin, and the Cambridge branch of the Great Eastern Railway. It is a fortunate circumstance that the Great Northern Railway traffic on Sundays is trivial as compared with that on week days, otherwise it is doubtful if the Great Eastern could have taken it as well as the Midland, which is also stopped. Naval ani Minary tatellizaan. On Thursday a great review took place at Alder shott in presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Half-past 10 o'clock was the time fixed for the troops to be in'position, but it was 11 o'clock before the lines were formed. The ground chosen was that part of the common known as Eelmoor-hill, to the eastward of the Long Valley. Exactly at 12 o'clock the Royal visitors, who had travelled from London, appeared on the ground. They consisted of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince of Denmark, Prince Teck, his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, the Countess of Mac clesfield (Lady in Waiting to the Princess of Wales), Col.

The Royal party were escorted by a troop of the 15th Hussars. His Royal High ness was received with the usual military honours. After a brief inspection of the lines, position was taken up at the saluting point, and the division marched past, the cavalry and artillery in open column of squadrons at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand divisions in quick time : Lieut.-Col. Riley, C. 8., and B battery, B brigade, R.H.A. ; Lieut.-Col. J. Mitchell, and D battery B brigade, R.H.A. ; Col.

The cavalry and Royal Horse Artillery afterwards passed the salut ing-point at a trot, and again at a gallop. A sham fight followed, which terminated about 3 o'clock. Their royal highnesses and suite, after lunching with Lieut.-Gen. Sir James and Lady Scarlett, at Forest lodae Farnborough, returned to town by special train at a quarter-past 4 o'clock. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : —Capt. E. W. Tumour, to the Vic tory, additional, for service in the Royal Alfred ; Commander R. G.

On Friday afternoon St. Martin's Hall was densely crowded by a most fashionable auditory to witness the annual distribution of prizes to the pupils of the North London School. The Rev. Canon Champneys, vicar of St. Pancras, presided, and was supported on the platform by the Bishop of Peterborough, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Dartmouth, Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C., M.P., the Rev. Thomas Jackson, the Rev. William C. Williams, principal of the school ; Mr. S. Taylor, member of the Me tropolitan Board ; the churchwardens of St. Pan cras, and other clergymen and gentlemen of influ ence. The meeting having been, opened by prayer, the Rev. the PRINCIPAL made his report as to the satis factory progress of the school, which consisted of over 400 pupils, being an increase upon the num bers of the previous years. The senior pupils who had undergone the Oxford and Cambridge middle class examinations had been successful in carrying off a more than fair share of academical honours, and others who had commenced to graduate had obtained University scholarships. The Rev. CHAIRMAN expressed his high gratifi cation at witnessing the continued progress of the school and the advantages which resulted in affording a sound moral and religious, as well as scientific and commercial education to the middle classes. It was desirable they should be multiplied in every district. The vicar concluded by distributing his prizes for good conduct. The Marquis CAMDEN presented his own prize, the Camden medal f or m athematics, tocAj A. l ien V t but . H. Miller, and congratulated not only the recipient able the school on having turned out so mathematicians. The noble marquis also presented ysoll his prize for the Camden Essay to e T d his • prize to The Earl of DARTMOUTIIGperI scholar ; and Mr. s n t A. Newland as the Chambers, M.P.

The procektdiugs closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the rev. chairman. TO TUE EDITOR OF THE SUN. -- --- Sir,--A serious obstruction occurred on the Great Northern Railway on Saturday night, in the Welwyn tunnel, about 20 miles from London, under the following circumstances : A train of empty coal waggons was going north train had wards through the tunnel, when the engine burst a tube and was unable to proceed. A goods train was into collision following, and, by some mistake on the part of the empty waggons, signalman, had received the telegraphic message from the other end of it that the preceding second train off the line passed out. The second train came the first with the brake-van of the train of throwing the van and several The guard of the first train was train and the engine of the moment an up goods train reached killed. At this of the tunnel, and, as there was waggons hnothinge d catefnotrothend an obstruction of the ~ up" line, it was allowed to proceed. The engine of thi s t ra i n came i nto contact with theengine of the down train, and, with several waggons, was also thrown off the line. Before* any means could be taken to remove the broken waggons, the fire from one of the engines had caught the debris, and the wind blowing through the tunnel caused the fire to spread so rapidly that it was impossible to clear the line. Arrangements were therefore made to work the traffic over the Great Eastern Railway via Hertford, Cambridge, will be the case in the course of and Peterborough, and it will continue to be Ec , worked until the line through the tunnel is ag a i n dly necessary for me to mention fit for traffic.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1&30, and now ex• ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a rystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain. a specialitd t ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her 3lajesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the suPportlng, instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that.the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience.

'No connection with any °neer the same name. - Tha_raturft..._ It requires but to look at the map of the United States, in connection with a statement of compara tive advantages, to place Texas in a pre-eminent position as a new State. The great drift of emi gration from the old States has hitherto been mainly to the north-west. The extensive and fer tile region embraced in the States of Illinois, In diana, Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and other sections adjacent, are now being subjected to the embarrass ments incident to countries far in the interior, whenever emigration and home consumption are checked, and surpluses are compelled to seek markets at long distances from the place of produc tion. However multifarious the facilities for travel and transportation may be, the distances to be over come are unavoidably great. The farmer must pay the cost of transportation until his products reach the place of consumption. This eats out the price until he has little left, whilst the cost of transporta tion upon his supplies swells their prices to an in ordinate degree. This twofold cause of disadvantage is now operating with a severity in the south west which makes the condition of the country and people both discouraging and irremediable. An excessive emigration into those States, and its con sequent home consumption, might give temporary relief, only to be followed, however, by greater embarrassments when over-production again tran spires. Texas, like New York, Pennsylvania, or Loui siana, is differently situated. A few hundred miles, at most, from the sea-port town, reaches its productive regions, whilst in the great north-west it requires almost as many thousands. These causes of disparity will operate with increased force. Their result will be that the one country will be rich in its financial means, whilst the other will, to a certain degree, remain stationary. Manu facturing and its home consumption, if carried far enough, might change the condition of the North west. Agriculture alone cannot do it. Texas agriculture, on the other hand, will be too profit able to allow its enterprise or capital to take refuge in general manufacturing to much extent. The region in Texas, peculiarly adapted to the culture of cotton, is estimated to be adequate to the production of six millions of bales. The wheat region is much larger than the State of Illinois, and produces the heaviest wheat grown in the United States. Barley grows better than any other crop, and will yield from t h irty to sixty bushels to theacre. well, bOatsut is d y squashes, and other vegetables of that nature, can a any variety can be sfand rye subject, grow profusely. Corn grows be raised in almost fabu l ous abundance. Tobacco of a superior quality is also produced in many sec tions of the State. Nutritious grasses grow in all parts es of State, cultivated. a grow well in the N or th er n part, peaches on the South ern coas t, an d grapes everywhere. Sugar is: more unce r t a in—the successfully warm season not being of sufficient duration to nd almost Apples fully mature the crop. Nearly the whole of Texas is adapted to the pro duction of sheep, wool, and cattle. The wool busi ness is probably capable of being made more profit able than anywhere else in the Union ;that is, when the proper precautions shall have been taken to secure the flocks from those casual inclemencies of the weather which have sometimes proved destructive. The experience of Mr. Kendall and other lea ding sheep raisers of Texas justifies us in saying that the most superior grade of sheep can be raised upon the native grasses alone, without winter feeding, at a loss of less than two per cent. from disease and incidental causes. To sum up, the ag ricultural capacity of Texas, for variety and amount, may perhaps be said to be unequalled elsewhere. It only requires the care and skill necessary to bring it into requisition.

The annual cfficial inspection of the Queen's Westminster Rifle Volunteers, by Colonel Erskine, took place on Saturday evening in the Regent's Park, in the presence of Lord Dufferin, Lady Con stance Grosvenor, and a considerable number of the aristocracy, and several thousand spectators. The enrolled strength of the Queen's Westmin ster is somewhere between 1,300 and 1,400, and amounts to 17 companies, but the actual number cn the field (consisting of the two battalions) was 700, viz.-Ist battalion, 351; 2d battalion, 349. The regiment mustered at the Duke of York's column, and marched, headed by its band, to the Regent's Park; high t. rya 2 .„ about seven o'clock. Colonel Lord Grosididr , :-!: - -. 77.'ef command as brigadier, whilst Lord Fitzgera I commanded the first brigade, and Major Russell the second brigade, assisted by Major and Adjutant Charter and Cap tain and Adjutant Tyler. Each battalion consisted -of-gba:420131 PS of. 22. files, or 12 companies in the whole, and formed up in line to receive the inspect ing officer in the centre of the park fronting Hol ford House, facing to the east, where a large space was formed, the ground being admirably kept by the West Middlesex, under command of Major Bridg man, Capt. Dear, and Capt. and Adjutant Penny more. The march past took place first in open columns of companies at the quick, which was upon the whole very creditably performed, and having changed front, they subsequently returned to the double. Having formed up in close and contiguous columns of battalions, skirmishers were sent out from the right, and after some few discharges were recalled. Volley firing by companies in line then commenced, and the supposed volleys were so bad as to be in the first instance taken for file firing. The battalion volleys were better, the first greatly excelling. The next movement was to right about face and march in line to the rear, and then the formation of battalion squares to receive cavalry, which, although slowly, was creditably done: The battalion having fired from the right of faces, and subsequently in volleys, again formed into open column, and subsequently into line, facing to the east, and marched by companies in " echelon" across the plateau, and at sound of the bugle formed company squares in " echelon." This evolution was admirably performed. Having re formed column, and again taken up a new align ment by marching by companies to the rear, the whole regiment marched in line in review order, the band playing the Huntsman's Chorus from "Der Freischutz," and presenting arms, and thus brought the inspection to a close. Having been formed up in columns of battalions facing the saluting flag, which consisted of the colours of the Old West minster Volunteers. Colonel Erskine addressed the regiment to the following effect :—Queen's Westminster Rifie Volunteers,—Having closed the inspection of this corps, I am desirous of offering a few observations to you before you are dismissed this evening. Many of you no doubt are aware that you have been honoured by the presence of the Under-Secretary of State for War, Lord Dufferin. As that noble lord has the more immediate charge of the volunteer forces of this country, he has expressed a wish to see a volunteer corps go through the ordeal of its official inspection, wherein I informed him that if he would favour me with his company here this even ing I would show him something worth looking at. I think I have kept my word, and I think that you, gentlemen, by the manner in which you have ac quitted yourself have enabled me to keep my pro mise, and I may add that his lordship was very de lighted with what he saw. I may say for myself that I am exceedingly pleased to find that this fine corps keeps up its efficiency. They have shown themselves very steady under arms throughout, and the marching and movements were generally well performed. There was little, if anything, with which to find fault, except with the firing, especially the volley firing, and I have no doubt but in that respect your commanding officer will agree with me there is room for improvement, and I have no doubt it is a point which will in future engage your commanding officer's attention. Another point upon which I would remark, although I believe lam only repeating that which I have expressed before, and to other corps, and that is in respect to crowd ing in the ranks. Before you are dismissed I ven ture to crave your attention order to refer to a matter entirely personal to myself. Whilst inspect ing you last year it will be recollected that a painful, and as it might have been a serious accident, befel me. (The gallant colonel was thrown from his charger, which took fright at the volley firing, and was injured by some keys he had in his pocket.) 1 exceedingly regretted, as I informed you, the inter ruption it caused to your inspection. As I have had no opportunity of since seeing you, I have taken this means of thanking you for the very great sym pathy you expressed for me on that occasion, and I beg to assure you I shall never forget your kind feeling. Lord GROSVENOR then offered a few observations to the corps, thanking them for their muster, which he said was an improvement upon last year, and proposed three cheers for the Inspector-General, which was enthusiastically responded to. Three cheers were subsequently given for the commanding officers, and the West Middlesex for keeping the ground. The corps marched off, and were dismissed. REVIEW OF THE KENTISH VOLUNTEERS. On Saturday evening last at 6 o'clock the annual official review of the Ist Kent Administrative Bat talion of Volunteer Rifles took place in the grounds of Sir T. M. Wilson, Bart., Old Charlton, in the presence of a large number of spectators. At the hour named the reviewing officer, Lieut.-Col. the Hon. W. J. Colville, Assistant-Inspector of Volun teers, with Lieut.-Col. Thorold, commandant ; Ma jor Farnell, adjutant ; S. F. Jackson, and other bat talion officers took up a position at the flagstaff, and the force then assembled in review order com prised the following corps :-3rd Kent (Lee), Cap tain H. L. Barnett ; 4th Kent (Woolwich), Cap tain Carter ; 7th Kent (Kidbrook) Captain W. F. P. Dadson ; 9th Kent (Greenwich), Captain W. Bristow ; Bth Kent (Sydenham), Captain J. V. Drake ; 18th Kent (Bromley), Captain C. Satterth waite ; 25th Kent (Blackheath), Captain Rucker ; 27th Kent (Deptford Dockyard), Captain Wilkin son ; 28th Kent (Charlton), Captain G. 11. Gra ham ; 32nd Kent (Eltham), Captain R. Bloxham ; and 34th Kent (Deptford), Captain Mon tgomerie. The Colonel and staff were received by the usual salute, and the ranks having been inspected f ron t and rear, the entire force marched past in com panies at slow and quick time in excellent order. Under the direction of Major Farnell a series of manual and platoon exercise was then carried out and various field-day evolutions. Skirmishing par ties were sent out, a square was formed to resist an attack of cavalry with bayonets, and the usual tactics of attack, defence, and retreat were performed. A succession of company, file, and volley firing was kept up with spirit for about twenty minutes, and was executed by the Charlton and one or two other corps with much precision, proving that since the last annual review they had been unremitting in their attention to drill. The battalion then formed a square and fired a volley, when, after some other evolutions, the force formed in the usual order to ,se oo ; ITO.
