No further intelligence has been received to con firm the statement relative to the release of the unfortunate prisoners of Abyssinia, and hence the Government is placed in a very awkward position. It will be the wisest thing for them to do to go on with their preparations, no matter what parties may say about the useless outlay of money, and so on. This is pre-eminently one of those political situa tions to which we may apply the rule, " When in doubt, learn the truth." It will never do to let precious moments slip by, and then find out that the good news was false when it is too late to follow the original course marked out, to deliver the victims of caprice and tyranny. Public opinion is sure to be on the side of continuing the preparations that have been begun with so much vigour and comprehensiveness; and we feel sure that Lord STANLEY will be too prudent to be led aside from his purpose by any supposition of useless expenditure. It is satisfactory to know that the intention of the authorities is to carry out the thing as fully and completely as possible. Sir ROBERT NAPIER has the entire control of the expedition, and the care and precision employed in the arrangements have anti cipated the suggestions made by several persons who have been anxious to impart information and warn them of perils. Concerning the news supposed to have been re ceived the other day, it is observed in a letter to the ?Imes to-day that it appears strange that this news should come to us by Constantinople, when the authorities of Aden and in Egypt seem to know nothing about it. It is also curious that THEODORE should have yielded to the request of an insignificant bishop of the Greek Church what he would not concede to the solicitations and demands of the British Embassy. It is said in intelligence received from Aden that the report of the death of two of these captives is not correct. Colonel MEREWETHER has received accounts of them up to the 12th of June, at which date all were well. 'While disap pointment is naturally felt at the idea of the cheer ing accounts lately given being false, we must remember that things are not worse than before, and that we may confidently expect before long to hear good tidings that will not be refuted. Since the above was written we have received in formation from the Foreign-office that up to 11 a.m. this morning no positive intelligence had yet ar rived announcing the liberation of the captives . Whilstthe gratifying intelligence announced is want ing the preparations for the Expedition will go forward with the utmost despatch and energy. French politics seem in vogue lately, and so soon as one topic of interest departs another springs up to engage attention. The Marquis de MOCSTIER, French Minister for Foreign Affairs, has addressed a circular to the diplomatic agents of France abroad relating to the meeting between the Emperor NAPOLEON and the Emperor FRANCIS JosErn. This circular will be sure to attract a good deal of notice just now on account of the excitement which prevailed concerning this affair, and the various speculations to which it gave rise. The Marquis commences his lengthened explanation by stating that he is actuated in this course solely on account of the interview in question having formed the " subject of interpretations which tend to distort the character it possessed." The EMPEROR and EMPRESS went to Salzburg, it is said, guided by a sentiment -which public opinion could not otherwise have mistaken, and it is here stated to have been a desire to bear an affectionate testimony of sympathy to the Imperial Family of Austria, which had just been cruelly afflicted by a great misfortune. After this rule is decidedly laid down, the Mar quis admits that these distinguished Sove reigns could not be together in " confiding intimacy " for several days without exchanging ideas on questions of great interest, and confiding their mutual impressions to each other. " But," he adds emphatically, and this assurance is doubt less the chief point of the circular, " neither the object nor the result of these interviews was the formation of combinations which there is nothing in the present state of Europe to justify." It must be admitted that there were no real grounds on which to form the opinion that the meeting at Salzburg contained a hidden meaning ; but, as we said before, it was the complicated state of things in Germany which gave rise to the surmises in question. "Conscience makes cowards of us all," and BISMARCK'S position is such that he can ill afford time for inter views and consultations, or even an exchange of ideas, to take place with his victims on the one hand, and his rivals on the other. Hence his fears give rise to hopes on the part of those who resent his interference, and dread to become the tools of his caprice. It was not the fault of the French E3l - R 0 R, nor that of the Austrian, that these rumours got about, but they arose from the jealousy and suspicion of the Berlin Government. Not content with having made this commotion, and proved to the world how unsettled they felt in the midst of all their boasting than they forthwith change their tactics, and declare that the attempt was made, and that it had proved a failure. The French Government could afford to laugh at the notion of the Emperors having met to under mine the security of nations, and to set Europe by the ears, but it will not do to let the sequel of the story go uncontradicted. Hence this circular, which has for cud and object to give a flat denial to the beginning of the tale, in order to show the falsity rat the several parts of it. ,The Marquis de MousTtEn to the langua ge b y th e E mperor point 3 L i n iti caut l y APot.EoN's Government on each occasion, when it has had to explain itself concerning the state of things created by the military events oi last sum - mer. This attitude was defined in various ways— by the Circular of last September, by the language of the EMPEROR at the opening of the Senate and the legislative body, and also by the speeches of the Minister of State during the course of the Parlia mentary debates of last session. After referring to these notable events the Marquis triumphantly adds that at " a recent conjuncture we have seen the Cabinets of Europe do justice to the straightforwardness of our policy, and lend their concurrence to our ideas of pacification." Certainly the turn which affairs took and the opinion gen , orally entertained at the time of the London Col iference were decidedly in favour of France rat her than Prussia ; and that overweening Power btu I to submit to arrangements and compromises wfn ich at first she stoutly refused to entertain. This i Circular concludes by asserting that the Salzburg interview is to be regarded in the light of a fresh security for the preservation of peace, in stead of the several Courts of Europe thinking s that they must see therein a subject of " pre-occu w.tion and anxiety." Thus the matter ends for flits present, and we must all wait for the next s ee) le of the drama to be enacted. All that is here put forth is no doubt strictly true so far as the ma tt k v goes, but the readers of history need hardly be told that the most peaceful assurances are the most rife, and the most serene state of things the most apparent, very often upon the eve of contro versy, and that the calm which precedes the storm may be mistaken for that which follows after it. The intelligence which reaches us from the United States, both by mail and telegraph, is very sugges tive. It is evident that the PRESIDENT intends to exercise his authority with vigour and determina tion, and that whatever new and mischievous legis lation may be in store for the country when Con gress re-assembles, the recess at least shall restore in some degree the semblance of law and order. A telegram, dated New York, Sept. 4th, 6 p.m., is to the effect that Mr. JOHNSON has issued a proclama tion warning persons not to obstruct the decrees of the Federal Courts, as was recently the case in Carolina, and ordering the military and civil officers to assist the enforcement of those decrees. The order is based upon constitutional law and common sense. There can be no possible reason why, in the- present condition of affairs, civil law should be subverted by military authority. No one is in arms against the Government, there are no plots or conspiracies afloat except those of Radical manufacture. Why then should one of the first and most important guarantees of the rights and liberties of a people be wilfully and recklessly abandoned ? It may make very little difference to the residents in New York or Washington just now that civil law is subverted in the Southern States, and an organised military despotism substituted ; but they may depend upon it that the precedent is a very dangerous one, and the example now set in Carolina and the vici nity may yet be turned against them in future days. It is not a little singular that the people who so long shrunk from maintaining a regular army should now be giving their tacit sanction to so extravagant an elevation of military authority. The PRESIDENT, who in spite of occasional mistakes and extrava gances always upholds the spirit of constitutional law, has from the first set his face against this scheme of the Congress. On the very face of it it is a contradiction in terms. How can there be a veritable " Reconstruction," a restoration of internal tranquillity, prosperity, and confidence under an irregular and despotic military system ? To make matters worse each district commander puts his own interpretation upon the law, so that there can be no kind of certainty as to the extent of his powers. If the South were still ripe for rebellion, or, more properly speaking, revo lution, if there were a formidable party advocating another outbreak and organising a secret force, if the orders from Washington were rejected or disobeyed, there might be some reason for stern repressive measures. But the Southern people have accepted their fate, however unwel come, and there has been no indication of any de sire to draw the sword anew, if indeed they could muster force enough to be formidable. The course adopted by General SHERIDAN could only be justified among a chronically disaffected people, whereal the great desire of the Southern whites now is to obtain representation in the National Assembly. SHERIDAN, we learn from the intelligence brought by the Java, has removed the city attorney and city surveyor of New Orleans, and ordered the jurors to be chosen from among the registered voters. As we know how the registration is conducted, we may guess what sort of persons are likely to be selected. It is rumoured all the members of the Cabinet have notified to the PRESIDENT their willingness to tender their resignations, if requested to do so ; but this is not confirmed, and we may accept it cum grano salis. The PRESIDENT, however, seems to have resolved upon a vigorous course of action, and we may hope before the autumn is over he will have as far as possible restored public confidence, and protected civil rights and constitutional liberty. The annual gathering of the members of the British Association is always an interestinr , event. It breaks the monot on y o f autumnal discussions, e by lifting us for a while into the higher and purer atmosphere of scientific inquiry. It forms a standing point from which to look back upon the achievements and advancement, the gains and losses of each year, and to look forward at the plans and hopes of the future. The assembly of this year is held at Dundee, and is presided over by the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, who has always taken a deepinterest scientific progress. His Grace delivered in the inaugural a dd ress on Wednesday evening, and, contrary to usual form, he delivered it extempore. With straight forward simplicity, he said that he had broken through the customary rule, for he had never been accustomed to prepare a written address, and had he attempted to do so he must have called in the aid of others. He preferred therefore to speak in his own words, which were certainly very much to the point. The Duke observed that none of his ancestors, the " bold BUCCLEUCEIS," of Border song and legend, had attempted so bold a deed as the acceptance of the Presidency offered him, but from the specimen he has given us there is very little doubt that, in true Border fashion, he will come .off victoriously from the charge. The DUKE summed up briefly the salient points of discussion, alluding more particu larly to the increase of scientific education in schools, and to the restoration of a system of storm signals. He had urged, he said, in common with others in terested in the subject, upon the Government of the day the importance of renewing the storm signals at different ports. His Grace urged very sensibly that without expecting the Board of Trade to turn into weather prophets, it is not unreasonable to ask them to give us the benefit of their supe rior information. "As they have the means to ascertain the strength and prevalence of winds by telegraphic communication over this country and over Europe and other distant parts, they can in form us whether there are any great disturbances of the elements prevailing. For instance, there may be a tremendous gale of wind on the south coast of Ireland and at the entrance to the Channel. Well, notice of that is telegraphed to Glasgow, Liverpool, and other ports upon the West coast, and com manders of vessels will hesitate to set sail when they hear of such a storm in the seas which they had expected in the course of a few hours to pass through." Such a system of signals, as the Duke observed, may save many lives and a vast amount of property, and the British. Association will do the public good service, if they can suceced in obtaining its renewal from the Government. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The evening Moniteur, in reviewing political facts, has the following : " King Charles XV. of Sweden returned to his capital on the 24th of August. On his arrival at Stockholm he immediately went to the chateau, where, in the presence of his Minister, he dissolved the Regency and resumed the reins of Government. The manoeuvres of the camp, which is formed every autumn, will this year be commanded by Prince Oscar, his Majesty's brother. " The plenipotentiaries who compose the Federal Council of Northern Germany began their labours by preparing a programme of the matters which will be submitted to the Confederate Parliament during the approaching session. The budget of the federal expenses has been arranged. They amount in round numbers to 270 millions of francs. The expenses of the army are estimated at 67 millions and a half of dollars. Taking the total budget, 54 millions of dollars will be derived from the receipts of the Zollverein, and the duties upon articles of consumption and the excess of receipts over the expenses of. the post office and telegraphs. Thus 21 millions of dollars will be demanded from the Confederate Govern ments pro rata according to their population. Prussia will have to pay rather more than 18 mil lions, Saxony 1 million, and the other States of Northern Germany collectively will contribute almost a million of dollars. " Numerous postal treaties have been concluded between Prussia and the various States of the new Confederation. Hesse Darmstadt, like all the coun tries where the family of Tour and Taxis continues to exercise its privilege, has confided the postal ser, vice of the Grand Duchy to Prussia. Royal Saxony, Brunswick, and the two Mecklenbourgs are now the only States of Northern Germany which have preserved an exclusive postal service for themselves. " The military arrangements concluded between Prussia and the Confederate Government are now in course of execution. The towns situated out of the kingdom in which the Prussian troops keep garrison under the title of Federal troops are Keenigstein, Hamburg, Lubeck, Sonderhausen, Detinold, and Buckebourg. " At the meeting of the last Council of Ministers of the kingdom of Hungary, it was decided that the Diet of Pesth should be again convoked towards the end of this month to vote the national loan of 40 millions of florins to hasten the completion of the Hungarian railways. " The hopes which we have several times ex pressed for the complete frustration of every attempt at disorder in the Pontifical States seem to be realised. The agitators who reckoned upon the co-operation of the Romans appear to be discou raged by the good sense of the population. The Italian Government continues to post numerous troops on the frontier to prevent any formation of revolutionary bands, and to cause the convention of the 15th of September last to be respected. Active watch is kept throughout the whole territory. By a privilege which dates from the times of Louis XLII., whenever the Pope is at Rome on the 25th of August he honours the Church of St. Louis des Francais with his presence, where be is received with solemnity by the representative of France. The ceremony was celebrated this year with the accustomed solemnity. The Iloly Father bad a con versation with the charge d'affaires of the Emperor, and at his arrival, as well as at his departure, Pius IX. was greeted with cordial acclamations from the crowd. The Italian Government is actively occupied in the preparation of all the measures re lative to the liquidation of ecclesiastical property. " M. Deno, who has arrived at New York from Mexico, will come direct to France, with all the tneml ers of his legate. _ "The Viceroy of Egypt, who has been at Con stantinople since the 17th of August, intends to stay a month longer in that city. The Egyptian Go vernment has recently declared that it is about to enter upon a course of reform and economy, which will enable it to provide for every want with the ordinary resources of the country, without having recourse to a loan. This system will be assisted by a good harvest, the rise of the Nile having this year taken place under circumstances favourable to agri culture. A direct service of boats between Alex andria and Venice is about to be established." Kossuth, it appears, is not satisfied with the new Germanati arrangements, e m e e l n e t ers of V a it zen h ave c h osen a tO and will not re t urn t o hi s n him to represent them , but he has written a letter in which he declines to accept th e m i ss i on. Kos v e land. ar ra suth in this letter exp l ains the reasons which induce him to prolong his exile. lie disapproves of the arrangemen ts concluded with the Hapsbourgs, and says he will not connect himself with the policy of the Government. Hungary, he adds, does not want the assistance of Austria ; Hungary is powerful enough to play a perfectly independent part in Europe. The Salzbourg reports and fabrications are re vived, but faintly. Various diplomatic notes are still talked of. The report of one from M. Beust to the diplomatic agents of Austria is formally con tradicted. hasOcc a u t Tarbes, which the law pied the Court of Assize of Athel terrible au te s case Pyrenees, in England would consider as murder, but in France this occurrence is not treated as such. A gentle man, named Arnaud Castaignet, his wife, and Anna Junca Cassagnet, the victim's mother, were indicted for having inflicted blows and wounds, on the 22d of March last, upon Colina Cassagnet, which blows and wounds were not inflicted with the intention of causing death, although death ensued from them. Colina Cassagnet, the deceased, a girl of 16, who was servant to M. Castaignet, died on the 29th of March last, and in consequence of rumours that her death was caused by violence the body was examined by surgeons, who found numerous serious wounds and bruises, which, i n their opinion, were the cause of death. It appeared, from the evidence, that the deceased left her master's house on the morning of the 23d of March, and went to stay with her aunt, a woman named Prehau, at Vie, not far from Tarbes. She was so ill that she was compelled to go to bed, from which she never rose, but died five days afterwards. During her illness she told her aunt that on the previous night her master and mistress had complained of her having stolen some eggs and a piece of pork, and bad locked her up all day and sent for her mother, who arrived in the evening. A scene of revolting violence and brutality ensu e d. Th e child's mother, and her master and mistress (the three prisoners) struck, beat, and kicked her, and, after using their fists, they knocked her about with a chair. The male prisoner stood upon her stomach and kicked her on the chest. The defence made by the husband and wife was that it was the mother of the de ceased who had inflicted the blows in her passion when told that she had been guilty of stealing, and that they tried to rescue her from her mother's violence. The woman Cassagnet, the mother, on the contrary, said that Madame Cas taignet seized the girl by the throat, and that both she and her husband beat and kicked her very brutally. According to other evidence the petty larceny was only the pretext for the vio lence, but that the real motive of the crime was the refusal of the poor girl to consent to improper ven tures made by her master. It was proved that the master is a man of very irritable temper and violent disposition. The trial is not over yet. On Tuesday there was a grand dinner at the Tuileries in honour of the Queen of Wurtemberg. The latest arrival of note in Paris is that of M. de Goltz, and of course all sorts of political combina tions are anticipated from the visit of the Minister. The weather continues heavy and stormy, with occasional rain. There is plenty of partridges in the market and shops, but they are rather dear. Two francs and a half are asked for a sma ll bi r d: They are, however, to be bad in the st ree t s a t a cheaper rate. Hares are not yet abundant, and are dear. Among the anecdotes of the day is one respecting two proyincials who have come to see the Exiaibi tion, one from Toulouse, the other from Marseilles. At a café they were discussing the attractions and wonders of their respective localities. The Gascon of course boasted largely about his native place. He said the Garonne was so full of fish that even a steamer could hardly get through the shoals. " Oh," rejoined the Marseilles visitor, " that is nothing ; we have a river near Marseilles where the fish come in such enormous abundance that they have driven all the water out of the river." The grave Moniteur records an anecdote of two Englishmen, which, if true, does not redound much to their politeness. The omnibus which takes pas sengers from Etretat to the station at Beuzeville was about to leave when two Englishmen jumped into places in the coupe which had been retained by ladies. Every plan was adopted with politeness to induce them to give up the places. Even the threat of sending for gendarmes had no effect. The coach man, however, hit upon a clever expedient. lie locked the doors of the coup 6 and brought out another carriage, to which all the baggage was re moved. In spite of the cries and menaces of the Englishmen they were kept locked up for two hours, and of course lost their places by the train. They went to the Mayor to complain, but he told them they were in the wrong, and said the best thing they could do, if they were in a hurry, would be to post it to their destination.

The overland mail brings despatches from Bombay to the 9th of August. The news is of little interest or importance. The following summary from the Bombay papers contains the principal items. The Gazette says : The Bombay Shipping Company's ship Defiance, Langlois master, which arrived out on Monday, the 22d July, from Liverpool, made the run in 74 days, which is the shortest passage this season. At a recent sale of jewellery belonging to the estate of Mr. Rustomjee Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, a necklace formed of a large number of splendid pearls brought the princely sum of 40,000 rs. ; a set of emerald beads, the stones being pierced through and uncut, was sold for no less than 7,300 rs.—the purchaser intending probably to use it as a kind of rosary; a single ear-ring, which has a large pendant diamond, brought 9,800 rs. ; a ruby ring was knocked down for 13,000 rs. ; and a pair of ruby bangles for 11,000 rs. The Shah c.: Persia is reported to have marched with a considerable force to Meshed, in preparation for an attack upon Herat. The Singapore papers state that terrible barbari ties have been perpetrated for years by the savages of the Nicobar Islands on the crews and passengers of such vessels as have been blown and wrecked upon their shores. A Belgian nutsicmaster named Desterberg has been condemned at the Hooglee sessions to ten months' imprisonment for the abduction of his pupil, a young lady under 16 years of age. An insurrection has broken out anew in Oman, headed by Synd Toorkee, brother of the late Sultan. The ship Zoroaster, from London, brought out another self-rightiug lifeboat, built by the National Lifeboat Institution, for use at the harbour of Bombay. The total amount of money subscribed for the re lief of sufferers by the famine now exceeds five lace of rupees. Peer Hisbolah Shah, the Mahommedan saint of Roree, in Scinde, accused of aiding and abetting a murder, is still under examination at Kurrachee. A sum of 4,000 rupees was sent by Mohammedans of Bombay for his defence. Omid Abe Choota, a Belooch chieftain, has been arrested by the authorities of Kurrachee, and claims 1,000 rupees for each day of his confinement. Professor E. B. Cowell has been charged by the late Bishop Cotton's widow with the editing of the lamented prelate's memoirs and correspondence. Like the barbers and tailors, the weavers, the shoemakers, the carpenters, the bricklayers, and milkmen have sent deputations to Mr. Dosabhoy Framjee, the special officer for the collection of the licence tax, to protest against their paying the same. At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Bombay, held on Monday, August 5, the directors' report announced that after paying lia bilities there would only remain "a balance of 5,149,000r5. in favour of the shareholders, to repre sent a capital estimated in February last at 10,450,000r5." On the same occasion it was pro posed by one of the Government directors, and concurred in by the whole board, to call upon Go vernment to institute a full inquiry with reference to the affairs of the bank. His Excellency the Governor intends to hold a Durbar of the Sirdars of the Deccan at the end of the month. A shroff in the Poona branch of the Bombay Bank has been lately taken up on a charge of embezzling enormous sums belonging to the bank. The Times of India publishes the following : At the suggestion of the directors of the Bank of Bombay, who were convinced that amalgamation with the Bank of Bengal was hopeless, the directors of the latter institution have broken off the negocia tions. Applications for over 1,500 shares in the new Bank of Bombay have been registered. The Bom bay Presidency Bank is to be wound up voluntarily. The Governor of Bombay has decided to present a gold watch, with a suitable inscription, to Mr. Shuttleworth for his gallant services at the wreck of the Terzah.

Dysart, her Majesty's 107th Regiment ; Mr. T. N. Wilson, Civil Service ; the Rev. Mr. Matthews. The state of affairs in Cabul is thus glanced at by the Bombay Gazette : The rival Ameers of Afghanistan go about the settlement of their quarrels in a leisurely way, but the symptoms are stronger that the final struggle as at hand. The contending foes occupy the three sides, as it were, of a triangle, of which Cabul is the apex, and they have pushed their lines in some places to within nine miles of each other. That side of the triangle which runs due north from Cabul to Chareekar is held by the Ameer Azful Khan, while the base and a portion of the third side are held by the forces of the Ameer Shere Ali. This has been the main feature of the position for many weeks, during which both sides have been collecting and concentrating their forces. The gist of the news in our Afghan letter is that the Atneer Afzul Khan has left Cabul for the head-quarters of his army at Cha reekar, in obedience to an appeal of his general, who had written him that the batteries of the enemy were ready to open upon him, and that he should lose the battle unless the Ameer pushed on his war stores and went to the camp in person. A n attempt was made by the Ameer before leaving to undermine the fidelity of Fyz Mahomed, the commander in chief of his rival, who indeed was formerly one of his own supporters. Fyz Mahomed's brother is a prisoner in Candahar, and the Ameer has issued instruc tions to Azim Khan, the Governor of Candahar, or we presume his representative (for Azim Khan is on his way to join the Ameer at Cabul) to set the prisoner at large. It is anticipated that the request will not be complied with, and Sirdar Fyz Mahomed is probably shrewd enough to see that the game, to all appearances, is now in his own hands. He has reserved for himself, in the present division of his troops, that position where the brunt of the battle will take place, leaving the Atneer for whom he fights to line the Ghorebund Valley, and the Ameer's son, who, however, is not a particularly brilliant gentleman, to hold the Bamian passes, and (were he brilliant) to spring upon Cabul when the engage ment takes place. A curious account of the marriage of a Hindoo girl to an idol is given by the Oude Gazette:— Some time ago a vernacular paper of the North Western Provinces announced the arrival of an old Deccan Brahmin with his family in the town of Muthra, where Rungacharee, the high priest of the Ramanoojee sect, greatly patronised him. The old Brahmin has two daughters, one a grown up girl, and the other only nine years old. Whilst residing at Muthra the younger girl gave out that K►ishnajee (one of the incarnations of Vishnu, the Hindoo god) appeared to her in a dream, and pro - posed a nuptial alliance with her. Next day the girl was with great pomp married to an idol wor shipped in a Hindoo temple.. The ignorant and superstitious people rejoiced at this absurd marriage, and began to venerate the girl as an inspired being. Both the girls have learned by heart 18,000 couplets of the " Bhagwut," a work in the Sanscrit language. They have now arrived in this city, and put up at a house in the vicinity of the " Gole Durwaza." Every morning Hindoos of all ages and sexes con gregate there to hear the melodious recitations of the two girls. Both the girls consider themselves as dedicated to the service of the god Krishna ; and after their daily recitations are concluded they make no hesitation in accepting such presents of money and sweetmeats as their hearers may choose to give them. We have little doubt that they have already reaped a rich harvest from their deluded votaries. THE COURT OF CHANCERY. —Mr. Edwards, the Chancery Chief Clerk, had more than 100 applications on Tuesday before him as vacation business. The summonses were principally for time to answer, and tholondon, Chat ham, and Dover Railway figured iu the list in several in stances. EXTRAORDINARY ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning a most extraordinary and alarming accident occurred in - Cow-cross-street. It appears that for some time past a large block of buildings has Leen in course of orecdou at tho cud of Cow-cross-street, near Smithfield, and that lately the large coping-stones on the roof have been added. Yest•rday morn at half-past 10 o'clock, I lie whole works were progressing as usual, and the customary string of vehicles was passing through the street, when just as one of the London General Omnibus Company's vehicles, pre ceded or followed by a cab, passed by, one portion of the coping gave way, and came with great violence upon the roof of the cab, crushing it in, and lacerating the foot of a gentleman named Jacobs, the cabman escaping. At the same time stones and mortar, and other portions of the roof, came down in a shower on those who were upon the roof of the omnibus, injuring most of them more or less. A workman was injured and removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, whither also the omnibus, with its injured occu p.ints, drove. On arriving every attention was paid to thorn by the house-surgeon and other medical gentlemen. The whole of the sufferers were enabled to return home. Staff Assist.-Sorg. F.
