SPIRIT OF THE PRESS—THIS MORNING, LORD DERBY ON PAUPERISM. Lord Derby, says the Times in discussing his speech at L iverpool, does not forget that physical disease and death are not the only losses sustained in the battle of commerce and the struggle for wealth. He contemplates the pros p e rt of a few churches and schools, but a great many pub lichouses in the new quarte r of Liverpool. When there is drunkenness there will be pauperism, and When there is p:tulierism th ere w i ll b e many things worse. It was beyond jinraediate purpose to enlarge on the means of ra t ev 'ng this ki n d o f su ff er i ng, but it is in its application ; such w an t s t h at charity is now so much suspected. It ;b Is here, we are told, that there is so much room for :Posture, and that you can never be sure that your ,?, 110 Y does not do more harm than good. We acknow -4.,,ge the difficulty, but we are inclined to suggest that %a n fault lies not so much in the applicants as in the , ; !L ors. If the only medicine administered in a hospital I ns a pleasant stimulant, it is probable should% Persons would apply for relief, and we soon all outcry against the demoralization produced. • l t is too much like the case of our moral hos- Many charitable persons and institutions ave only one remedy for the cure of the pauperism which d ° :fles before them—incessant administration of pecuniary a • l b ' i t ,,R l s• The disease, be it observed, is just . as unquestion.- „,' in the one case as in the other. If a man is a be or a drunkard, or improvident, he is as certainly „ from a moral malady as a man in a consumption an ague is physically diseased. Charity equally de- I Ms that you should take measures to relieve him of disease. But spiritual and moral practitioners are A ° g 'en as devoted to a few traditional drugs as the doctors da hundred years ago ; and when everything else fails ,Y are c on t ent to resort to t h e op i ate o f a pecun i ary je . rl le Stanclard thinks that the Earl of Derby has not onlyfo g iv en the site for a new hospital and laid the foundation stone, but he has placed society under -obli gations by delivering a short and sensible speech, i h 4l ng, succint and eloquent terms, with several a-eortant and pressing questions. In composition f in substance the speech may serve as a model Public oratory. It neither went beyond the occasion how ll Short of it. It was long enough to complete, and i,enough, as wall as good enough, not to be tedious. " is true that the world has never yet run short of SPeeches. But the world has suffered sorely from a toll ::dies unreasonably long and excessively stupid. As 01 a Pecinacn of what excellent things can be said comparatively ordinary occasion we turn to 3adlliirable address just given at Liverpool. t i l PPily there is charity as well as distress and suffering uroughout the length and breadth of England • but the 1 5 5 1. allisatio n which is chiefly wanted is that which will fr l ; l4 g the rich more in contact with the poor, so that ` e l l dlY counsel, good example, and neighbourly iIY, combined with judicious oversight, may make "aatever money is given of double worth. ITALY. B ,rhe Post declares that the two parties in Italy, the in tr4r4.ectionists in the Chamber and the insurrectionists in tcrwns and streets, play into each other's hands. The interpellationsi furnish a pretext for the i ti '.. llll B*---the risings furnish a pretext for parliamentary a‘ ' et Pellations. The double end is gained by throwing the the public time and disturbing the public peace tr. jurther aim is advanced of discrediting adminis ,iative. capacity and parliamentary vigour. And when it this to th can be done with a more special reference army, to the weakening and discrediting of that ti - . ) e e to which Italy owes so much, the gain, in a rev obi. sp j t l arY point of view, is so much the greater. That, in e pf such attempts, y should be unmistakably pro cssive, i s on l y another ltal and cheering proof of the re- Oi.erative power in political societies, of the readiness of or ° . l ctY itself to correct the mistakes of misguided patriots inefficient statesmen. Every day furnishes still stronger roofsL of this recuperative power in Italy, and to its ~ m r ,C,"-Inq the frie n ds of tke Italian people must look for fr Id with a di scr i m i na ti ng , b u t a t th e same time well 't'°llnded, confidence. COUNTY ELECTIONS. o f l‘ , 4 l le Daily News says that the.temporary political truce th:u i Whiisuntide holidays has been broken in upon by p to al skirmishes of two contested elections in two iin 4,4tant county divisions. Both South Leicestershire and " 1 .,(i Isle of Wight are, or might be, independent county eoastituencies. Of the candidates before theth they may e rurzi whom they choose. The Isle of Wight has a large 4,_lxlent in its constituency of independent persons, who aoge ther above any locl influenc. Te c2astitu lt enc of South Leicestershi a re contain s e a large th ""er of y wealthy and independent farmers, who have p ress r own political opinions, and who dare to ex -3,,f t them. W are now entering on some new () „ 1 1 11 ' Us• The nieTests Bill, the Parliamentary . stis the Education Bill, are three great mea d of which the character and fate wid be decided the next two months. The Liberal electors of the voti\\Tght will not, we trust, send a representative to t e; ' against these measures, nor will those of South I.,,,,; o sl.ershire. Let them regard the election I:at it co "V is, a deliberate expression of their opint , ,,, the e n glict of th e Government ; let them look upon , t that ve rY elector in these two constituencies is asked to say n W , ,heth er, so far as he is concerned, it shall be supported g„ ll °,t, and there will be no fear of the result. Both b.„'lltio Leicestershire and the Isle of Wight must be won by fidelity of the Liberal electors, and by their sell s 9. . er woe if need be. THE FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. The Telegraph, in referring to the disastrous fire Con stantino le says. one great aid to such a catastrophe of wae dryness which prevails in Stamboul at this time thin Year; the excessive heat parches every aotirg, and makes everything like tinder.

At Mark-lane to-day the show of English wheat has been very moderate. There has been a continuance of firmness in the trade, and the late advance has ,been well supported. The show of foreign wheat has been good. The demand has been steady, and full prices have been realised. With barley the market has been moderately supplied. The inquiry has been firm at full quotations. Wheat has been quiet on former terms. Oats have been in short supply. and steady request at improving rates. Beans have been firm, and quite as dear. Peas have been steady at extreme currencies. The flour market has continued firm, both as regards inquiry and values. THE TRIAL OF THE SUPPOSED FENIANS. It is probable that, owing to a suggestion made by the Law Officers of the Crown, the two suspected Fenians, Michael Davitt and John Wilson, who st a nd charged with treason-felony, will be tried at Leeds. There are many circumstances which render it desirable that the venue of the trial should be laid at that town. In the first place, it was there that Davitt is alleged to have committed the felonious acts of treason with which he is charged. There, also, according to the evidence of two witnesse.s, the other prisoner, Wilson, a gun and pistol maker of Birmingham, took from the par cel office a box of firearms which lie had forwarded from Birmingham, and sent it, in charge of Davitt's warehouse man, to the premises occupied by Davitt under the assumed name of Jackson. Another incidental advantage is the central position of the place, and, since a large majority of the witnesses reside in the midland and northern parts of the kingdom there will be a considerable saving of expense if these persons have only to travel to Leeds instead of London. The lodginghouse keeper with whom Davitt had been staying in London for the fortnight previous to his arrest, and the half-dozen detectives who assisted in the capture of the two prisoners, would at the Leeds Assizes meet half-way, as it were, the police of Glasgow who took possession of the cask of fire-arms sent from Bir mingham ; the Newcastle police, who are witnesses to the arrival of similar packages in that town ; the wit nesses in Manchester who saw Davitt apply at a parcel-• office for a box of ammunition, afterwards seized under very suspicious circumstanoes, and traced by the police from a cottage in Caroline-street Birmingham, which was occupied by a man named Rafferty, and used, it is believed, by Wilson as a depot for the storage of fire arms and ammunition ; and lastly, the numerous witnesses from the neighbouring town of Birmingham who saw many of the consignments of weapons which ultimately fell into the possession of the police, despatched from Rafferty's cottage under Wilson's direction. —Tines. In consequence of the decision of the Master of the Rolls, the rectory of Edgware is to be sold by auction on the 2nd of July. It is described as having an excel lent rectory-house, gardens, pleasure grounds, and park like paddock. The net annual income is about £463, irrespective of the value of the land and and rectory house. A PRAISEWORTHY EFFORT.—Between twenty and thirty colliers, chiefly married men, living in the vicinity of York-road, Leeds, whose education has been neglected in their youth, have (says the Yorkshire Post) for some months been spending a portion of their leisure hours in learning the rudiments of education in a room which is provided for the purpose at the house of Mr. Mulldooney, shopkeeper, who renders them what assist ance they need in prosecuting their studies. Mr. Louis Emanuel's annual concert will take place this evening at St. George's Hall, the vocalists being Miss Poole, Miss Ransford, Madlle. Florence Lancia, Miss Blanche Reeves, Messrs. G. Perren, Ransford, Frank Elmore. Amongst the instrumentalists are Chevaliers Kontski and Boscovitz, Signor Regondi, and J. P. Chatterton. Mr. D. D. Home will give his recitation, " The Death of th' Owd Squire," and from the excellence of the musical selections an entertainment of the highest order may be certainly anticipated. The correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says :—Among the incidental topics for debate I have rea son for believing that we have not yet heard the last of the affairs of Greece. Projects of concerted interference on the part of the protecting Powers are in course of cogi tation ; and whichever of them may be adopted, or in case none of them shall have been, there is likely to be a good deal of talk in both House, not perhaps of the pleasantest kind.

His illness is not of a dangerous character, but it is painful. He will return to Vienna by the end of the week. THE SPANISH THRONE. In yesterday's sitting of the Cortes the amendment of Senor Rojo Arias, which requires an absolute majority of the Deputies to vote on the election of a monarch, has been carried by 137 to 124. This was the second time the amendment was brought forward, having been previously voted on Friday, but requiring a second decision. It is considered greatly to affect Montpensier's chance, as he has only the promise of about 100 votes, which would not come up to the requisite standard. The Ministers voted in the minority. The following news appeared in our First Edition pub lished at Eight o'clock this morning:—] (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SEIZURE OF FENIAN ARMS AT CORK. Last night a party of police made a seizue of arms and ammunition in the store of Mrs. Covenay, whose husband was a suspected Fenian. 'They found eight hundred weight of gunpowder, a quantity of rifle cartridges' and cartridge cases, several gun barrels, a sword and scabbard, and flask, belonging to Captain Kay, Royal Engineers, stolen several months ago, and a box of the captain's, containing arms, maps, &e. ; Mrs. Covenay was arrested. EARTHQUAKES IN MEXICO. A violent earthquake has occurred in Mexico at the city of Oajrca, by which there has been great loss of life and damage to property. More than one hundred persons are said to have been killed, and a great number injured more or le-4 seriously. The shock was not confined to the city, as several towns in the State of Aajaca have suffered, and the eatth quake is said to have affected the miners. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Yesterday's news from the Peninsular shews us that both Spain and Portugal are in an unsettled condition. The Cortes at Lisbon has suspended its operations until the end of October. The new Ministry intend to do great things, if we are to judge from the circular addressed to the Prefects by the Minister of the Interior in which he promises a reform of the Chamber of Peers. of the educational system, freedom of public meeting, and ad ministrative economy. In Madrid the great Monarchy question has been ac tively discussed. The claims of the Prince of Asturias (eldest son of Isabella II.) have been strongly advocated by Senor Canova and as strongly opposed by Senor Rios Rosas, who denounced all partisans of the Restoration as enemies of the Constitution. A 'plebiscitory Monarchy would, he thought, degenerate into despotism. Senor Rivero declared himself strongly opposed to the restora tion of the Bourbons, and said the great majority of the Cortes would suffer anything rather than consent to it. HEALTH OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR. The health of the Emperor Napoleon has improved so much that he was able to join the party at the weekly reception of the Empress on Monday. THE FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. Great depression prevails throughout Constantinople in consequence of the fire. The shops are most of them closed- All French subjects who have suffered loss will be relieved at the embassy.

LORD DERBY AND CHESTER CATHEDRAL. The Earl of Derby presided yesterday at a large meet ing held in Liverpool in connection with the promotion of the restoration fund of the Chester Cathedral. There were also present the Bishops of Manchester, Peter borough, and New York, the Dean of Chester, Canon Kingsley, &c., &c. Lord Derby, in a speech of much force and eloquence, commented upon the importance of preserving from decay the ecclesiastical monuments of the middle ages, for as the world grew older there was a greater longing to penetrate'into the remote past, and as we could not re-create what had been destroyed, it was incum bent on us to preserve with the greatest care, and to restore as much of the noble and beautiful cathedral archi tecture of the past as remained.—The Dean of Chester gave an account of the progress of the fund, stating that up to the close of 1869 £31,500 had been subscribed. The Bishop of Manchester spoke in support of the movement. The Bishop of Peterborough having criticised occasion ally with caustic severity, and sometimes with good humour, a number of the customs and abuses of cathe drals, described the mode of restoration which had been adopted at Chester as being preferable to the system of pulling down buildings and erecting modern ones with sham antique architecture. In conclusion, his lordship alluded to the future influence and position of the Church of England in terms of confidence and hope, —The Bishop of New York alluded to the interest taken by the educated Americans in the venerable cathedrals of England, and expressed the disappointment that would be felt across the Atlantic should the spirit of the nine teenth century be not equal to their restoration.—Canon Kingsley proposed a vote of thanks to the noble chair man, and in bearing testimony to what the Bishop of New York had said, urged the meeting, by the furtherance of the object in view, to strengthen the tie of religious senti ment that linked England with America.—Mr. Aiken seconded the motion.--The noble chairman, in acknow ledgment, congratulated the promoters upon the success of the meeting. AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT TAUNTON. At the agricultural show at Taunton yesterday trials, or which no prizes are awarded, were made with the reap ing implements exhibited by Messrs. Samuelson, Howard, Bamlett, Burgess and Kay, Hellard, Picksley and Sims, Breuton, Hornsby, and the Reading and Beverley Iron Works. With single furrow ploughs Messrs. Davey, Ran some and Sims, and Woofe competed, Davey's " Excel sior" appearing to work the best. Messrs. Ransome and Sims, Howard, Fowler and Grey, exhibited in action their double-furrow ploughs. On two occasions only has the number of visitors to the show on the second day exceeded that of yesterday. AN ARCHDEACON ON THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The Venerable Archdeacon Grant held his annual visitation at Rochester Cathedral yesterday. Part of his charge was directed to the question of the present position of the Church of England. It was quite clear, he ob served, that the old theory which regarded every member of the nation, as also a member of the State Church, was no longer tenable ; it had no foundation now in fact. Our country was divided hopelessly ;no unity of Church fellowship existed. Under the altered condition of things great changes were being made in the organisation of the establishment. On the one hand attempts were being made to enter into closer communion with other bodies ; but those attempts were generaly repelled by the bodies them sel yes. Nevertheless construction must keep pace with destruction ; therefore he hailed as a good thing the in crease of diocesan conferences. In regard to the confer ence for the diocese of Rochester, to be held at Stratford next month, he announced that the questions to be dis cussed were-1. The duty of Churchmen with regard to national education. 2. Lay co-operation in Church matters. 3. The inability of churchwardens since the abolition of compulsory Church rates. SUICIDE OR MURDER AT WAKEFIELD. Yesterday evening the adjourned inquest on the body of the woman who was found on Tuesday evening in a back yard at Wakefield with her throat cut, supposed to be murdered, resulted in an open verdict. COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL. The schooner Margaret Jane, of Carnarvon, bound from Middlesborough to Briton Ferry with a cargo of pig iron, put into Penzance Harbour this morning ; having been run into last night, when off the North-West of Mount's Bay, by a brigantine whose name is unknown. The brigantine cut down the Margaret Jane amidship, and carried away her fore rigging. The crew were obliged to shift her cargo to keep her afloat. MURDER AT CARDIFF. An inquest was held yesterday at Cardiff on the body of Henry Elsted, a Glasgow seaman, who was fatally stabbed by another seaman, named Joseph Kelly. The wound was given in the course of a street disturbance, but it was proved that the deceased had given no provocation to his assailant. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against Kelly, FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT RAMSGATE. Yesterday afternoon seven persons, two men, four women, and a child, who had arrived in the morning by an excursion train, were out for a sail in a boat named the Prosperous, at Ramsgate, when, through the incautious ness of one of the men, the boat was suddenly capsized. Two persons were picked up by another pleasure boat which was cruising at a short distance, and the accident being witnessed from the shore the harbour tug Aid at once put off and succeeded in picking up others of the party, but three, it not more, lives have been lost. Ac cording to some reports there were ten persons in the boat. If so, the loss of life is still greater. An interesting breech-loading contest will probably take place at the next Wimbledon meeting. Ten members of the Berkshire battalion of Rifle Volunteers, of which his Royal Highness Prince Christian is hon. colonel, will fire with the Soper rifle. They challenge ten members of any other battalion, firing with any description of rifle. The lieutenant-colonel of the battalion, Colonel Lloyd Lind say, has kindly undertaken the captaincy of the Berk shire team, and gives a silver cup, value ten guineas, to the man who makes the highest score in the winning team. The Irish Times announces upon authority that the Government will not allocate the two seats in their hands by the disfranchisement of Cashel and Sligo.

A telegraphic message has been received from New York stating that nothing is known there of the reported loss of the Dacia steamer. As the first telegram came from New York, it is possible, therefore, that the whole affair is a hoax. ALLEGED THEFTS BY VOLUNTEERS. A fancy fair, opened by the Earl of Derby on Monday, is now being held in the new Stanley Park, at the north end of Liverpool. Several corps of volunteer's took part in the festivities, and a number of men were detailed to guard the tents of the bazaar department during the night. Yesterday, two of these men, named Thomas Laffan and Bernard Rice, were brought before the magis trates charged with stealing some of the goods entrusted to their care.—They were remanded. ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT THE ALHAMBRA. An alarming accident occurred on Tuesday on the stage of the great hall in Leicester-square. About half-past ten, when the ballet Les Fleurs du Jardin " was being acted, about a dozen of the girls engaged in it were stand ing on a section of the stage, while a number of others were dancing on the portions nearer the auditorium. The motion of those who were dancing affected all the other parts, and when the action was brought th bear on the particular section referred to, it was driven from its position and dropped literally downwards. Tho girls who stood on it when the accident took place fell into that part of I:.e building under the stage, and fortunately the fall was ',Token by some of the scenery, which is moved upwards N. - hen it is employed in producing scenic effects. Assistance was promptly rendered to the sufferers who had fallen through the bridge, being removed to their homes or the Charing-cross Hospital. One girl had her arm broken ; another had her ankle dislocated ; and a third had some of her ribs broken ' • and a fourth was found to be suffering from injuries in the back. About six or seven others were bruised, but were able to reach their homes without any difficulty. The accident appears to have taken place in consequence of one of the men to whom the arrangement of the bracing irons was entrusted having neglected his duty. The audience thought for a time that the lowering of the bridge was required for the purposes of the performai:;es ; otherwise a panic might have arisen attended with considerable danger, if not disaster. When, however, the shrieks of those Who had been in jured were heard, great excitement was aroused, and it was not until an explanation of the occurrence had been given that the feeling subsided. The news of the accident seems to have spread with the traditional rapidity of rumour, for at half-past eleven o'clock a large crowd had assembled at the stage door of the Alhambra, and only dispersed when the rain began to fall in heavy showers. The presence of mind exhibited by the ballet girls when they found that the accident was about to happen was efficacious in preventing far more serious consequences than those which were caused by it, .and the assistance rendered to the sufferers by their com panions did much to alleviate its immediate effects. Mr. Strange and the officers of his staff were assiduous in their exertions to secure the most speedy treatment of the in juries sustained. LATEST PARTICULARS—THIS DAY. Upon making inquiries at noon this day it was clearly ascertained that the whole of the unfortunate young ladies who met with injuries the previous night during the grand ballet entitled " Fleurs du Jardin," at the Alhambra Palace in Leicester-square, were progressing under the unremitting attention of Mr. S. S. Noakes, the house surgeon at Charing-cross Hospital, most favour ably. No fatal case had taken place, as had been. rumoured, and it is satisfactory to state that there is not the least apprehensions entertained by the medical staff of the hospital that any of the young pc:zons have sustained mortal mounds- The worst case of the whole is that of Miss Kate Graham who, besides having sustained a fractured arm, is severely bruised about the legs and lower part of the body. Miss Anne Sands, whose ribs were broken, have had the fractures reduced, and is going on as well as can be expected. Miss Fanny Abrahams, who was also taken to the same hospital, has been found not to be so severely injured as was at first considered. The other sufferers, from careful inquiries, are all going on well. From an investigation made the occurrence arose entirely through the cellermen having neglected to put up the regulating iron rods under the stage• The Right Hou. lhotnas O'Hagan, Lord Chancel lor of Ireland, has received a letter announcing his eleva tion to the peerage, under the title of Baron O'Hagan.

Walter Miller, 31, plasterer, was indicted for the wilful murder of Elias Huelin, in the parish of St. Luke's, Chelsea, on the 9th May. He was also charged with the wilful murder of Ann Boss. The prisoner, in a firm and distinct voice, pleaded not guilty to both chargeg. Mr. Collins, addressing the learned judge, said he was instructed to make an application to postpone the case till next session. Mr. Bury Hutchinson, the solicitor for the defence. at the request of some society, attended to watch the ease on the second remand before the magistrate, and when the examination was over, his duties ended. Last Saturday he recei - ved a telegram from some of the prisoner's friends, instructing him to appear for the defence, but he did not receive any remittance till yester day (Tuesday) evening. A statement had been made by 'he prisonct i and in consequence it was necessary to make certain inquiries of a complicated character, which he could not disclose at present. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he could not postpone a trial on materials the nature of which were not disclosed. He must know the nature of the facts that were to be in quired into. After some little delay, Mr. Collins said there were certain provisions in the will of the deceased gentleman by which the bulk of hiss property *as left to his nephew and his housekeeper, and it was possible that another member of the family, feeling aggrieved at this, had become connected with the matter, and it would be recollected that it was a man who spoke broken English that called at the hous e in Paulton square. Substantially, however, the pound on which he based his applieation was that Mr. Hutchinson was only instructed yesterday. The learned Judge said it was not sufficient to say that the prisoner was not guilty and that another person was, but he would let the matter stand over for a short time. The prisoner was subsequently again placed in the dock, and the application for a postponement was again made, Mr. Justice Blackburn said that if reasonable ground could be , shown that witnesses could be obtained, that would be a ground for postponing the trial. Affidavits, however, would have to be made. The case was then postponed until to-morrow, on the understanding that this should be done. KILLING B STEPFATHER. Charles Thompgou, a youth of about 16 or 17, was in dicted for killing George Reese, on the 16th of May, when, a quarrel ensued, during which the prisoner threw at the deceased, who was his stepfather, a siadt-seller, which re sulted in his death. A verdict of guilty was returned, and he urns sentenced to one month's imprifoument. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. A " GALLANT " SOLDIER.—HefITy Murfen, a private of the Coldstream Guards, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with brutally assaulting a young woman named Ann Slater. From the evidence of the complainant, whose head was bandaged, it appeared that on the previous night, while near St, George's Barracks, she heard an altercation going on and a female scream, and on going over to ascertain the cause the prisoner struck her in the face, walked away, and then afterwards returned, and gave her a vio lent blow in the mouth, cutting her lip, and causing her to fall to the ground, in consequence of which her head was so severely hurt that she vas rendered insensible, and compelled to be taken to the Charing cross Hospital to have her head dressed. The prisoner, who bore a bad character in the regiment, was sent to prison for two months' with hard labour. " A MAD AND WILD IRISHMAN."—DanieI Mulcahy, a sun-dried and weather-beaten mariner, with a large and bushy beard, was charged before Mr. Woolrych, at the Thames Police-court, with being drunk and disorderly. Richard Martin, police-constable, No. 46 K R, said that, at an early hour this morning, the prisoner rolled against him in High-street, Shadwell, and exclaimed, lam a mad and wild Irishman, take me if you dare." He begged of the prisoner to be quiet and go home, The prisoner said it was not time to turn in, and again ex claimed, " I am a mad and wild Irishman," and acted so noiSely and strangely tlat he took him into custody. The prisoner said he had recently come to England, was paid off two days ago, and being " three sheets in the wind," and a little more, set his " jawing tackle " at work, and he did sing out " I am a mad and wild Irishman." Mr. Woolrych—You are not an Irishman? The prisoner —My mother and my father are both Irishmen, and I was born in Australia—that makes an Irishman of me. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Woolrych —Very nearly so. How came you to make so much noise this morning? The prisoner—Well, it is the first time I have been in old England, aLd I was on the spree. Mr. Woolrych- 2 -You are not mad, but you were very wild this morning. You must pay 9s. for being drunk and disorderly. The pri soner—That I will do with pleasure. There's luck in odd numbers, says Rory O'More. ANOTHER SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT. An alarming accident happened on Tuesday morning to an excursion train containing about five hundred scholars and their friends, belonging to Providence-place Church, Cleckheaton. The train left that place for Blackpool, and had proceeded to Pleasington, about two miles beyond Black burn, when the tire came off the wheel of a carriage in the middle of the train. The carriage was dragged for about 300 yards down an incline, when it was turned completely over down an embankment, and landed into a field below. The carriage was entirely demolished, and it is difficult to understand how any of its occu pants—about twenty in number— escaped instant death. Efforts were at once set about to rescue the in jured. Of twenty persons who were got out, it was found that seven bad escaped almost unhurt, while thirteen were more or less seriously injured. Those who were the most injured were laid upon cushions in the field, and medical men were sent for from Blackurn. As soon as could be done, the injured people were conveyed to that town in an express from Preston. Those that could be removed farther were taken on to Cleckheaton in a special train, Dr. Buswell, of Accring ton, and five other medical men accompanying them. Two persons, husband and wife, were detained at the Black burn Infirmary. So far, however, no fatal result has accrued from the accident. RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR HUDDERS FIELD. About half-past seven last night a goods train of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company ran off the line at Fieldhouse, Huddersfield. The engine passed over the up line, and ran down the embankment. Both sets of rails were ploughed up extensively, and the traffic was suspended. The driver, the stoker, and the guard were slightly injured. A CHILD SHOT BY ITS BROTHER. A distressing accident occurred at Macclesfield yester day afternoon, by which a child named William Watkin aged two years, son of J. Watkin, lost its life. The child had been playing with its brother George, aged ten years, and another lad named Worth ington in their own yard in Derby-street. During the absence of their parents, who had gone to the cemetery to inter another child, the elder Watkin went up-stairs, and took from a box in the bedroom an old horse pistol, which he and the other lad commenced playing with. A fter some time, not knowing it to be loaded, Watkin got a lighted Lucifer, and put it to the nipple of the pistol, when it immediately exploded. The poor child, who happened to be standing just in front of the muzzle, was killed instantly, the charge entering its skull. The elder brother, who had been the cause of the mischief, had his fingers cut, and was stunned by the ex plosion. It appears that the pistol had been borrowed by a man named Goddard for a pigeon match, but he, after loading it, found it useless, there being no nipple on it, and returned it to the child's parents. THE CHARGE OF SWINDLING BY A LADY. The inquiry into the charges against Mrs. Emily Mac gregor, the wife of Major Macgregor, an invalided officer of the Indian army, was concluded yesterday afternoon at the Marlborough-street police-court. The accusations finally preferred were that the defendant had obtained, by false pretence, the sum of £2O from a person in the employ of Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, silk mercers, Regent-street ; £l5 from a.person in the employ of _Messrs. Howell and James, Regent street ; a sealskm jacket of the value of £lO 10s., and £l4 10s. in cash, from a person in the employ of Messrs. Hitchcock and Co., St. Paul's churchyard ; she was also charged with attempting to obtain money and goods from Messrs. Marshal and Snel groe, of Oxford-street; Mr. Peter Robinson, Oxford street; and Messrs. Swann and Edgar and Mr. Jay, of Regent-street. In all, three cases of fraud, four of at tempted fraud, and three of forgery. Mr. Humphreys, after some discussion, said, on the part of the prosecution, he would consent to bail being taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that this course did credit to the society and to Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, by whom the prosecution was originated. As they had given their consent, he would take bail in two sureties of £3,000 each, and the prisoner's own bail in £I,OOO. Mr. Humphreys asked that Dr. Smiles, the medical attendant at the house of Detention, who had Mrs. Mac gregor under his care, and who would be called at the trial, should be bound over. Dr. Smiles was bound over accordingly. The 'Sportsman announce 6 the death of Mr. Charles Fox, for several years past lessee of the West Drayton Racecourse. r 2
