MONEY /ISIARKET AND COMMERCISI INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a little stronger tone in the Money Market to-day, but 2i to 3 per cent. continue to be the lowest quotations for the last bills of short date. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no gold operations. The report of the London Financial Association (Limited) for the past half-year states that after Payment of current expenses there remains a balance of £13,858 Is. 10d. at the credit of profit and loss, but the board regret their inability to recommend the payment of a dividend on the opera tions of the six months. The annual general meeting of the London and Westminster Bank was held to-day, when a divi dend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and by way of further dividend out of the profits a bonus of 13 per cent. on the paid-up capital. A meeting of the shareholders of the Ebbw Vale Company (Limited) has been held for the purpose of considering the question of reducing the nominal amount of the shares and the issue of preference shares. After consideration the meeting appointed, with the approval of the directors, a committee, consisting of four influential shareholders, viz.:— Mr. E. R. Langworthy, of Manchester; Mr. F. Phillips, of Lee Priory, Kent ; Mr. R. Longsdon, of London ; Mr. M. Curtis, of Manchester, to con fer with the board on the above-named points, as well as to report generally on the affairs of the company. On Thursday next the half-yearly meeting of the Consolidated Bank will take place, when a payment of interest to shareholders for the six months end ing the 31st December last, will be considered. It is understood that, at the same time, it will be stated that the Bank is preferred to cash, it,s out standing promissory notes less rebale of interest. A report has been published by the International Financial Company. It states that after valuing all the securities at the lowest market prices on the 31st December last, the accounts show that the pro fit of £30,693 brought forward from the last ac count has been absorbed, and, further that a loss of £23,934 has been incurred, and is written off against the reserve fund, now amounting to only £4,846. Two o'CLocK. Affairs at the Stock Exchange this morning pre sented a favourable aspect, but speculation having taken an adverse turn, there is now a little depres sion in instances 'where buoyancy previously pre vailed.

Account DEATH OF VICTOR COUSlN.—France has lost Victor Cousin, the eminent metaphysical philosopher. He was son of a watchmaker in Paris, and was born Nov. 28, 1792. Ho was for some time a tutor at the Ecole Norinale, where he was subsequently professor of philosophy. In 1812 he published a translation of Plato in French, and in 1815 was appointed by Royer Collard to deliver lectures on the history of philosophy in the Faculte des Lettres of the University. On the return of Napoleon from Elba he en rolled himself in the Royalist Volunteers, but broke with the Bourbons, and had to discontinue his lectures. He then applied himself to philosophical researches, and edited the unpublished works of Proclus, and a complete edition of Descartes, in nine volumes. He was tutor at this time also to the son of the Duke de Montebello, and travelled with him to Germany, where some free remarks of his caused him to be arrested in Dresden and carried to Berlin. His imprisonment was short, however, and in 1828 he was allowed to resume his lectures in Paris. As soon as Guizot became minister, Victor Cousin, who was his great friend, was appointed inspector-general of education, councillor of state, member of the Royal Council of Public Instruction, titular professor in the Sorbonne (on the retirement of Royer Collard), member of the French Academy and of the Academy of the Moral and Political Sciences, director of the Normal School, and a peer of France. Under Thiors Cousin was for six months Minister of Public Instruction. As a philosophical teacher, Cousin was an idealist and Platonist, then a follower of Kant and the critical school, then a follower successively of Proclus, the Scotch school, of Hegel and of Schelling. His chief works are "Philo- sophical Fragments" (1829), "A Course of Moral Philo- sophy" (6 vols., 1815-20), including the "History of Modern Philosophy," " The Sources of Ideas," and the Sensational, the Scotch, and the Critical schools; also "Studies of French Ladies and Society in the 17th Cen tury." Ho translated Tenneman's abridged "History of Philosophy," and edited the complete works of Abelard. DEATH OF INGRES.—The telegraph has an nounced the death, at the ripe age of 85, of Jean Domi nique Auguste Ingres, the illustrious French artist, born at Montauban, Sept. 15, 1781. For a short time he was a student of music in Toulouse, but was also permitted to take lessons in drawing and landscape painting. At last his father yielded to the importunities of the youth and sent bim to Paris, where he became a pupil of David. In 1800 he obtained the second prize from the Academie des Beaux Arts, and carried off the first for his picture of the Embassy to the Tent of Achilles." In 1802 he exhibited " A Woman in the Bath," and a " Portrait of a Lady ;" in 1804 a "Portrait of the First Consul," and in 1805 a "Por trait of the Emperor, which was purchased for the Hotel des Invalides. After this success Ingres went to Rome, and during the next five years ho exhibited " CEdipus and the Sphinx," "Jupiter and Thetis." "A Woman in the Bath,' , " Ossian's Sleep," " The Sistine Chapel," &c. The chef d'suvre of M. Ingres since that date is the " Vow of Louis XIII.," exhibited in Paris in 1824. This picture raised the reputation of Ingres to its height, and he returned to France to receive a triumphal welcome at the hands of his countrymen. Tho "Apotheosis of Homer," painted in 1827 for one of the ceilings of the Louvre, sustained his reputation, and in 1829 he became director of the French Academy in Rome, in the room of Horace Vernet. While in this position he painted " Stratonice," and portraits of the Duke of Orleans and Cherubini. The latter was sold in Paris in 1853 for 40,000 f. M. Ingres's style combines purity of outline with simplicity and gracefulness in con ception. In 1855 he had a special apartment for his works in the French Exhibition building. He was appointed Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1834, Commander in 1845, and Grand Officer in 1855. SHIELDS, Tuesday Afternoon.—We have had a severe snowstorm on the Northumberland coast, and more snow is on the ground than in any winter since 1860, and the storm is " feeding." The weather, how ever, has taken a favourable turn for shipping. The sea has gone down on the bar of the Tyne, and over 100 sail of laden ships have loft the river for most parts of the world. A fleet of 16 screw colliers, which had been de tained in Bridlington Bay by the bad weather, arrived this afternoon. But no sailing vessels have reached the Tyne from the south. A number of Tyne steamers were out at sea yesterday in search of a vessel which had been seen bottom up to:the northward of the harbour—but they have returned without discovering her, and it is thought she has sunk. The upper reaches of the Tyne and other north eastern rivers are again frozen over. The Collector of Customs at Sunderland has received a communication from the British Consul at Copenhagen, stating that a Norwe gian vessel had picked up two boys in a boat about 100 miles from Sunderland. The boys were apprentices on board the Robinson, of Blyth, and had been pleasuring in the ship's boat when they were driven out to sea. They had been rescued after three days' exposure. THE FRENCH CONSCRIPTION AND THE INDUS TRIAL CLASSES.—In a statement respecting the effect of the present plan of conscription, the Siecle enume rates as follows the trades from which the recruits form ing the annual contingent of 100,000 men are taken : Workmen in wood, carpenters, joiners, &c., furnish nearly 6,185 men to the army ; in iron —blacksmiths, locksmiths, founders, &c., 4,289 ; in loather, as tanners, skinners, &c., 4,333 ; tailors, 973 and more ; bargemen and watermen, 2,513; shoemakers, basketmakors, wheelwrights, bakers, house-painters, masons, &c., 20,507; clerks, 3,703; young men of no profession, whose parents in some cases only possess a small income, 3,273 ; finally, field labourers, 51,329; but the proportion of the latter is sometimes greater. Thus, the contingent of 1855 comprised 75,000 agricultural labourers. THE CHOLERA AT DEMERARA.-" A Victim," writing of the contemplated reliefs, asks: —" Why does not the Government send Indian troops, who would be unaf fected by the deadly climate of the West Indies, and why are not the European colonists made to organise Volunteer corps in their own defence, as has been done in the much more important place, New Zealand? In England, our Volunteers drill till late at night ; in the West Indies all business is over at four o'clock, so that the colonists have plenty of leisure to prepare for their own defence, and a drilled European would put to flight a hundred of blacks. Why, therefore, should our English soldiers be murderously sacrificed, while those who ought to defend themselves do nothing? The West India colonies were warned many years ego by the Home Government to provide for their own defence. What have they done ?" United Service Gazette. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT SCILLY.—SOI/leinCn were engaged on the island of Bryher, one of the Scilly group, excavating a pit on Thursday last, when the earth above them gave way and three persons were at once buried alive. After the lapse of a considerable time one man was got out badly injured but still alive, and subse quently the other two men were reached, but both were found to bo dead, their bodies being fearfully crushed. OYSTERS.-It may be interesting to our readers to know that the young oyster brood of the South of Eng land Oyster Company (Limited), spattel last June at Ilayling, have not been injured by the late severe weather, and are in perfect health. `~ ~ w ~~' THE U LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIN G, JANUARY 16, 1867. SN, 'his day. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. THE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT THE REGENT'S PARK. COURT OP QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) HORNSBY V. CLOSE. .4.- - - - - - ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS THIS DAY. Thousands of persons thronged the Regent's park this morning, and, despite the precautions taken to prevent the admission of other than those provided with keys and those engaged in the melan choly duty of recovering the bodies of those unfor tunate persons who have perished by the lamentable accident, au immense number of persons climbed over the park railings and proceeded at once to the mound in the cow-park to the north-east. The appearance presented was extraordinary—the rising ground was literally covered with human beings, who watched with the greatest anxiety the efforts of those engaged in the boats. The operation of dragging for the bodies was resumed at daylight this morning, but the work was of the greatest danger and diffi culty, as the frost during the night had refrozen the broken ice into one complete sheet, and before the drags could be put into operation the ice bad again to be broken up. The men of the Humane Society, the park keepers, and a number of other persons manned the ice boats, and commenced their work in right good earnest, but the means at their command were of the most primitive description. There seemed to have been little or no preparation for the work they engaged in, and beyond one or two men being pro vided with a pickaxe, and another or so with a mallet, no other means appeared to be at hand to make channels through the ice for the seven boats engaged in the work. Even this morning there was a deficient supply of rope, and, in some cases, work on board one or two of the boats was suspended for a time in consequence of the want of such a very common article. The result of the opera tions being carried on on so small a scale was that nearly as fast as the small space around the boats was cleared of the ice the water again froze, and the work had to a certain extent to be per formed over again. To many persons it did not appear to have been an impossibility to have con veyed a couple of empty barges from the Regent's Canal, and by means of boards being laid from one to the other some more powerful and effectual means could have been called into requisition to break up the frozen surface and allow the drags to be used with greater freedom. However such was not the mode of operation, and taking into consideration the nature of the work in which the men were engaged, and the hearty and will ing manner in which they performed their labo rious task, they each deserve commendation and praise. In a short time after the drags were in operation the bodies of two young men were brought to the surface, and when the fact became known to the thousands of persons who, by this time, had thronged the banks, a scene of the wildest excitement ensued; hundreds rushed from the different sides to the spot the boat containing the bodies was making for, with the desire of catching a glimpse of the unfortunate deceased. The police, however, the instant the bodies were landed, threw a blanket over each, and then, laying them on stretchers, carried them to the dead-house of St. Marylebone workhouse. In a short time after an other body—that of a lad about 16 years—was re covered; and, later on, five other bodies were found, making in all eight more, in addition to eight already identified. The names of two of those recovered this morn ing are William Parkinson, of Pheonix-place, Somers-town, and James Griffin, a vendor of oranges, Lincoln-court, Drury-lane. The others had not, at the time our reporter left the work. house, been identified. That the calamity is no worse than has been de scribed is more than doubtful, and it is to be hoped that the deaths will not amount to more than has been estimated, but we very much fear such will not be the case. At one spot, where it is known, for certainty, that five or six people went down not one has yet been recovered, the search being entirely confined to the broader portions of the water. A gentleman, an eye-witness of the dreadful scene, this morning said that the estimate of those who have perished must be very far be low the actual number. The moment after the ice broke the water seemed to him to be full of people, the heads of nearly all of whom he saw gradually disappear. Those in the middle of the ice had no means of getting off alive, and therefore until the ice is cleared away it will not be possible to tell whether the bodies of all those who have perished have been recovered. Of course there was no skating on any portion of the Ornamental Water to-day, yet a number of persons, amongst them being many ladies, attended evidently for that purpose, from the fact that they each carried a pair of skates. The scene at St. Marylebone Workhouse this morning was heartrending. Mothers and fathers were constantly arriving at the gate, begging for leave to see the bodies of those now lying in the dead house; and although Mr. Douglas, the master, whose conduct throughout has been above all praise, informed them that all the bodies had been identi fied, such was their anxiety—as some of their rela tives had been from home during the night, that refusal would have been unkindness ; and he, therefore, in the most humane manner, not only granted what they required, but did all that was possible to quiet their alarm. These inquiries were not confined to the humbler class, but in a variety of cases carriages, with rich armorial bearings emblazoned thereon, brought anxious inquirers after missing relatives. The scene within the dead-house is melancholy in the extreme. The bodies lie side by side, and as identification takes place, a blanket is thrown over the frozen corpse, and his name and address is pinned thereon. All the bodies present the same appearance—the features fixed in a most determined aspect, the lips compressed, and the hands firmly clenched. Around some of the unfortunates the parents stand in a desparing way, weeping in the most pitiable manner, As an addition to the number of the dead is made, hundreds pass through the place to identify, and when the body is recognised a piercing shriek is generally the only thing that for some time announces the fact that the body has been owned. In this case a question was raised as to whether the justices of the peace at Bradford were justified in refusing to convict a party who had been charged before them with fraud. Mr. Mellish, Q. 0., appeared in support of the appli cation calling on the magistrates to show cause why they had so refused to convict iu the case in question. It appeared that a society of iron shipbuilders vi as established at Bradford, and registered under thto Friendly Societies Act, according to the provisions 18 and 19 Vie., c. 43, sees. 9 and 44. That act permitted parties to orm friendly societies, if their objects included the en dowment of members, burial of deceased, and other pur poses common to such institutions. The secretary of the society was charged before the magistrates with fraud, and, though the facts wore proved, they refused to convict on the ground that the society was not a legal ono. The court refused to make any order in the case. NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL. Messrs. Schumberg, Prendergast, Harvey, Liddell, Pearson, Roberts, Clarke, Cochrane, Karslake (brother of the Solicitor-General), Drew, and Kay were called within the bar this morning, having been recently appointed Queen's counsel. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in 13anco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Channell an Pigott.) MATTHEWS Y. DOLBY. Mr. Pearce moved for tt - rnia to set aside a verdict for 428 15s. obtained by the plaintiff, or that the amount should be reduced 415. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Baron on the 22d December last. The plaintiff was a last and shoe manufacturer at Nottingham, and the defendant was a dealer in the same articles in Oxford street. The plaintiff alleged that ho had sold goods to the amount claimed to the defendant, but the latter pleaded that these wine merely forwarded to his place for a person named Marriott, who had previous dealings with and was indebted to the plain tiff. It appeared that Marriott had shut up his premises and gone away, and be stated that he lost the sale of the goods to a person named Sexton, by the plaintiff's delay in forwarding them. Only goods to the amount of .£5 had been disposed of by Marriott, but the defendant agreed to take the remainder from him, for which he gave him a cheque, which was forwarded to the plaintiff. When the latter found that Marriott had shut up his place of business, he demanded the whole amount from the defendant, and in his examination he swore positively that the goods had been forwarded direct to the defendant without any state ment as to their being for Marriott. On the other side, Marriott swore that he had given the order for the goods to the plaintiff. The Lord Chiof Baron said that, as unfortunately was too often the case, there was a great deal of hard swearing. There was one point which deserved notice, and that was that Marriott did not state in his letter to the plaintiff that the chequo was on account of any portion of the goods in question, and might have been put down to the credit of a precious account. He thought the matter was ono entirely for the jury, and he should Le sorry to disturb their verdict. The other learned judges concurred with his lordship, although admitting the hardship of the defendant having to pay twice. The rule was accordingly refused. POLICE INTELLIGERCE— This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. _ _ A FORGIVING WIFE.—John Manchester, of 6, Green street, Leicester-square, bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife Augusta. The complainant was not in attendance when the case was called on, and Mr. Tyrwhitt, carrying out his invari able rule of never discharging a man charged with assault ing a female until he has learned what the female has to say, ordered the complainant to be sent for. The complainant, on attending, said she did not wish to press the charge against her husband, taking into conside ration that she had children to provide for. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the complainant whether the black eye she had got was given to her by her husband. The complainant said it was, but that she did not wish to injure her husband. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he well knew by experience how it was women begged their husbands off after they had assaulted them, and the consequence was that they got ill used ten times worse. The complainant, no doubt, was afraid to press the charge for the sake of her children, and evidently only wished for peace. He (Mr. Tyrwhitt) must protect the complainant's life even against herself, and he should, therefore, order the defendant to find two bails in .£lO each to keep the peace towards his wife, and he thought if the defendant was locked up for a little time it would do him good. STEALING 31A1tKED MONEY.—"Mary Lerigan, s a milk carrier, in the employ of Mr. Sims, of Jermyn-street, dairyman, was charged with stealing marked money from her employer's till. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street, ap• peered for the prisoner. The case having been proved by Mr. Sims, and Mr. Lewis having stated that he believed it was the wish of the prosecutor thlt the prisoner should be dealt sum marily with, and Mr. Sims not objecting, Mr. Tyrwhitl committed the prisoner for 14 days' with hard labour. The most distressing appeals have been made to Mr. Douglas for permission to remove the bodies from the workhouse, but of course such cannot be done till the coroner, Dr. Lankester, has made his inquiry, and on Mr. Douglas informing that gen tleman of the great desire that existed amongst the relatives of those lying dead at the workhouse, he at once consented to open the inquest this evening, as far as the identification of the bodies, which will enable the friends to remove them to their own homes. The inquiry will embrace the case of all those who may be recovered from beneath the ice up to five o'clock this evening. We shall publish a full list of those identified up to that hour, with as much as possible of the pre liminary proceedings in our late edition. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.)

IADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.—Trying Tim es . ho wet, winds, ot• cold weather of the present season test the strength of the human constitution. Holloway's pills so completely purify the blood, so effectually perfect digestion, and so naturally regulate both secretions and excretions, that occasional doses can always be taken with the most decided advantage when disease from atmospheric influences threaten the health. Disorders of the body mainly arise from impurities introduced from without; expel them by this potent purifier and disease will rarely follow, a proposition abundantly clear to the commonest capacity. It must be borne in mind that the certainty and energy of action of these pills are much increased by at tention to diet and other rules explained in the " direc tions."

MARK LANE. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market to-day from Essex and Kent was very moderate and in but middling condition. Notwithstanding the limited supply offered, the few millers in attendance were but little disposed to operate, and no transactions of importance took place. As regards prices the trade ruled firm. The market was well, but not heavily supplied with foreign wheat. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly at the prices current on Monday. In floating cargoes of grain very little business was passing ; nevertheless prices were well supported. Fine barley was disposed of et very full prices Grind ing and distilling sorts were dull, but not cheaper. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. The oat trade ruled quiet, and the value of inferior par cels had a drooping tendency. Fine qualities were firm in price. Beans as well as peas were dull, on former terms. The flour trade was very firm, and the value of town• made qualities was advanced to 60s. per 2801bs. ERIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

VINCENT.—On Tuesday afternoon an accident, which terminated fatally, befel Caroline, second daughter of Viscount St. Vincent. Whilst skati ng on a pond in God mersham Park, with other members of th e f am il y, t h e w ye it u h ng tho la i d c yo. fell, the back of her h ea d coming in contact Miss St. Vincent was carried into tho man sion in an insensible state, and the medical adviser of the family was immediately sent for, who, on arrival, dis covered the patient had sustained a fracture of the skull. Everything was done for the young l a d y th at medical skill could devise, but she expired from the injuries early the following mornimg. The deceased was about 13 years of age. TILE CATASTROPHE OFF NORTHFLEET. —On Saturday and Sunday a rumour prevailed throughout Greenwich and the neighbourhood that one of the bodies of the unfortunate crew of the Ross Winans, who are sup posed to have all perished on Christmas night, had been washed on shore. The statement was to the effect that some fishermen off the coast, near Whitstable, had lighted upon the body of a drowned seaman, very much tallying to the description given of James Earl, and on whose linen there were the letters "J. E." The rumour was totally unfounded. The mother of Earl —who was suffering from ill health, and who had apparently, with a mother's love, hoped on when all hope was over —was so affected by this supposed confirmation of her son's death that she shortly afterwards expired. THE TESTIMONIAL FEVER IN A NEW LIGHT.--Un the occasion of the annual dinner to the inmates of the Metropolitan Benefit Societies Asylum, Balls-pond, given on New Year's-day, the Rev. T. Slater, chaplain of the almshouses, was presented with a testimonial consist ing of a purse of 10 guineas. The reverend gentleman has earned this extremely liberal mark of esteem by conduct ing the religious services in the chapel of the asylum for 14 years without foe or reward. The munificence of the gift cannot but strike home to the hearts of the present testimonial -loving generation. The reverend recipient considered the unexampled liberality of his friends and patrons Worthy to be recorded in an original poem, which he read to them on the auspicious occasion.---Hornsey Hornet.

FOREIGN RACING INTELLIGENCE. I 3 ADEN-BAD EN RACES. AUGUST 31, SEPTEMBER 2,4, AND 6, 1867. The programme for this popular meeting has just been issued, and manifests a considerable improvement on those of the previous years. Tho principal alteration is that the races, instead of being spread overzt considerable time, aro now confined to four good days' sport, with an interval only of ono day between each. Tho steeplechedse, which was the only event on the last day, will no longer now be run alone, as three other flat races will also take place on the same day, the selling steeplechase being now suppressed. This arrangement will ba much appreciated by the English division, many of whom could not wait for the last day with the Doncaster attractions so close at hand. Some useful alterations and additions have been made, to some of the stakes. The Continental St. Leger, with 400 sovs added, is now called the International St. Leger, and is open to horses of all countries, which will most probably greatly increase the number of entries and starters, as lat terly this race has only brought out small fields. A novelty this year in racing is advertised in the Prix du Rhin, which is aweight for ago race, with 200 sovs added, open to horses of all countries, the winner to be sold for 1,000 sovs; to be run in throe heats, in three separate days ; the winners of the two first heats can only start for the third, and a win ner of any heat to receive ono-thirdof the entries; distance the first heat, about one mile, the second two miles and a half, and the third about one mile and three furlongs. On the last day the Prix de Prememberg, open to all horses, two years old and upwards, about one mile and a quarter will form a useful trial stake for young horses. The amount of public money given at this meeting is about 3,500 sovs, which is rather more than 300 soya in excess of last year. The Produce Stakes for 1870 at Baden has closed with 60 subscriptions. Spinks, trainer to Count D'Evrv, arrived at Chantilly last week from Maison Lafitte, with the following horses, riz., Joli-Coeur, 5 yrs; St. Contest, 5 yrs; Silly, 6 yrs; Grenoble 5 yrs; and Testament, by Fandango, 3 yrs. Spinks has taken stables at 26, Grand Rue, Chantilly, and is at liberty to take horses as a public trainer, and from the long expe rience he has had in preparing horses for cross-country events gentlemen may rest satisfied that horses entrusted to his charge will have every attention. M. Dorlodot's horses, consisting of Monitor, Novateur, Caleb, Stoneham, and Little Black, have lately left Chan tilly under the care of Spreoty, his private trainer, and will now be trained in Belgium. M. H. Delamarre's Vermont (winner of the Grand Prix de Paris in 1864), by the Nabob—Vermeille, is advertised to cover at the ,Ilaras de Bois Roussel, near Aloncon, in Normandy, at 24 sovs each mare ; good accommodation for mares at three francs per day.

There have been up to the present hour 34 bodies reco vered, viz., 10 last evening and 24 to-day, but the above are those only who have been identified, and who are included in the coroner's inquiry. The Coroner said he proposed on that occasion merely to open the inquiry, in order that the friends of the deceased might remove the bodies and bury them. he should require the attendance of the jury on Monday, to which day he should adjourn the inquest, after the identification. It was suggested by one of the jurors that Satur day would be the better day, as there might be a great many more bodies brought in before that day. The Coroner thought under all the circumstances Monday would be the best day, and the inquiry would of necessity last a considerable time. Another juror urged that Saturday might be fixed, because, unfortunately, the number of bodies recovered to-day held out no well-grounded hope that the same number or more would not be re covered to-morrow. The Coroner hoped it would be so, and thought it would be for the ultimate convenience of every person that the inquiry should be resumed on Mon day. The jury then proceeded to the dead-houso to view the bodies, and a more melancholy spectacle cannot be conceived. The grief of the scene was heightened by the number of sorrowing relatives who now attended as witnesses to identify the bodies. On the return of the Coroner and the jury to the board-room a number of witnesses were called who spoke to the identification of the bodies, after which the inquiry was adjourned. TROTTING. GREAT MATCH AT NEWARK, FOR £2OO. Yesterday a trotting match came off at Newark, for £2OO, which created a great amount of interest. The names of the horses were Princess Alice, belonging to Mr. Bywater, of Leeds, and Mr. Edwards's Morning Star. The match took place on the Farndon-road, the start being made at the first mile-post out of Newark, and the stipu lations were that the horses should trot one hour in har ness. The start was fixed to take place at three o'clock, by which hour a large number of spectators had assembled, including many persons from London, Leeds, Notting ham, Sheffield, Mansfield, Worksop, Southwell, and other places. Shortly after the time named the horses were brought to the starting-post, Princess Alice being tooled by James Stephenson, and Morning Star by M'Cormick. Mr. Brocton acted as referee, and accompanied the horses throughout the match. The animals were driyen nine miles out and back, the condition being that the one which trotted the furthest distance within the hour should receive the stakes. Princess Alice, who performed in first-rate style, eventually won with a couple of minutes to spare. Both horses have previously run together at Edinburgh, when Princess Alice proved the winner. The animals were splendily handled, and the excellence of their condition was the theme of general admiration. COURSING. COURSING MEETINGS TO COME. JANUARY, 1867. Judge. Days of Running Name.

It was an alleged American vessel, and claimed by the United Statee as having been in the service of the Confederates. There was a claim for possession, and also for an equipment. The answers were not filed as ordered, and were rejected. Mr. E. C. Clarkson, who appeared for the American Govern ment, informed the court that the case was arranged. Pr. Lushington expressed his satisfaction on hearing the result. contains special SERIOUS n edition a c RAlLWAYeoofunhteo fNao lir tha ACClDENTcciaeßriti s hnt D attended Daily yn (L dled MailA with A o i f t I i o n n j d u a r y y to upwards of 20 persons, but, fortunately, with fatal con sequences to none, which occurred on Monday forenoon W the 10 30 a.m. train from Greenock when nearing the Bridge-street station, Glasgow. It appears that part of the spring of a carriage, the ono next the engine and tender, had snapped—the effect, as is presumed, of the severe frost and the broken piece having caught upon the iron beam of Cook-street bridge, the carriage was thrown off the rails, and after proceeding a short distance, went through the parapet wall and tumbled over the side of the railway, pas sengers and all. Happily the coupling between this and the second carriage broke, otherwise the results must have been snore serious. The shock of the fall was probably also lessened from the circumstance that in disconnecting itself from the train the position of the carriage became changed, so that on reaching the ground the ends were found to have been reversed. The carriage, which fell into the gravel depot of Messrs. George Miller and Co., Commerce-street, was a third-class one, without seats, and at the time is said to have contained 25 or 30 persons, the majority of whom were more or loss injured. A number were immediately taken to the Southern police-office, others were taken into rooms at the Bridge-street railway station, a _number were convoyed to the residence of Dr. Dunlop, Carlton -place, while two or three wore sent at onto to the infirmary. 17 21 29 25' I • _t om { i i
