The House of Representatives at Washington has Passed the Currency Bill by 98 votes against 81. The bill provides for the redemption of 45 million dollars of Three per Cent. Certificates, and for a more equal distri- bution of paper currency among the States. It authorises the issue of additional National Bank currency to the amount of 95 million dollars. THE DUTY ON GRAIN. M. Harjeirs has proposed the abolition of the import duty on grain from the Ist of July in the Corps Legislatif, and said the discussion ought to be urgent. M. Forcade de la Roq ue tt e an d M. Segris opposed the proposal, as likely to disturb trade. It was referred to a committee. THE FRENCH STAMP DUTY. The Government have agreed to abolish the stamp duty on newspapers, the bill being adopted by 165 against 9 votes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—THIS DAY. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—John Maloney, a remarkably L an and powerful man, aged 28 years, was brought before Lushington, at the Thames Police-court, charged With committing a savage and unprovoked assault, and wounding James Purcell, an equally powerful man. Both Persons were born of Irish parents in London. The com plainant said he lived at No. 3, Finch-court, High-street, p oplar. Th e pr i soner had been a l o d ger i n th e sam e house for two years, and in consequence of his irregular habits h ad given him no ti ce t o l eave . Last night the prisoner re had and wan t e d t o rema i n i n th e h ouse . He turned im °lit, and sometime afterwards the prisoner forced his w ay into the house, and while he was sitting at a table hall his heavy mutilated him in the face by kicking him with — eavY boots. The magistrate said it was a very sav age assault, and sentenced him to prison for four Months. 6, l : ° ; tj GrlS AND THE POLICE.—Wm. Jones, a rough-look was charged at Marlborough-street by W. J os ?_; with assaulting the uolice. Police-constable Oellecl to epa 131 111, 189 E, said that on the previous night he was 0 - ;;; . 1„ Cumberland-street, and saw the prisoner and hl -I 's fighting, and also some women. He took a woman o ) custody, when he was immediately surrounded by a herd.cl °f the about 200 roug hs, and the prisoner caught the woman and rescued her, and struck him ?l ow on the temple, and as well as others in the crowd, ehe was on the ground, most shamefully Mused him. k i , ‘.. t ° ol c the p r i soner i n t o a public-house so as to secure --4 i till other co ns t a bl es came , who then took him to the motionl havin g t o d raw th e i r t runc h eons to protect them ,:tves from the roughs. The evidence having been cor t7aborated, th e prisoner was comm i tte d f or 21 d ays ' Pti scninent with hard labour. lj, k., ASE DETENTION.—WiIIanI Harris, a Man Ox p o ° l t thirY years of age , was brought to the Westminster lien Felt by det ec ti ve Shaw, on a warrant for disobe ef cf a summons charging him with detaining a chest aers Georgetable, chairs, looking-glass, pictures, bed and la w din g , and other articles, the property of his father-in- Hughes. The complainant said he sent the rile to the defendant to take care of, and when he sent a t hem he re f used to give them up. Defendant admitted opNossession of the drawers, the bedstead, bed and two else vs, but declared that complainant gave everything ke ei , t° a girl who moved the things. He did not want to na s i - v all3rt „. ll ing, and the fact was his father-in-law was a not uis positious " old man, who got drunk and would cl ef —ee l ) a hom e . M r. A rno ld sa id it was odd that if keep did not want the t hi ngs h e did not give them the Ile had no right to keep them, and he should adjourn tzli case for a week to give him that opportunity.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS--THIS DAT. The Speaker took the chair at five minutes to four• o'clock. THIRD READINGS. The Birmingham and Staffordshire Tramways Bill Etna tile Glyn Valley Tramway Bill was read a third time. NEW MBMkE R. Mr. W. U. Hey-gate took the oath and the seat for South Leicestershire. THE EDUOATION BOARDS. Mr. TAYLOR asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether by the Use of the words " he" and "his " in the clauses of the Elementary Edu cation Bill relating to Local Boards, he intended to ex clude women from sitting on such boards. Mr. FORSTER said it was not proposed to exclude females from school boards. The expression used in the bill, it was thought, was the best way of preventing such a pro ceeding taking place. SEATS IN THE CENTRAL HALL. In reply to Mr. Stacpoole, Mr. ATRTON said the reason seats were not placed in the central hall for the use of persons excluded from the lobby, was because the Lord Great Chamberlain thought it would prove inconvenient to the prosecution of the business of Parliament, as they would most likely be occupied by loungers and others during the time the houses were sitting.

A new bank has been started at Frankfort under the title of the German-American Bank, and among the pro moters there are very good names. The Frankfort municipal authorities hare granted a concession to a company for extensive waterworks, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. interest on the amount of their shares, taking also a million and a half florins on their own account. At a meeting of delegates from the French and South German railway companies interested in the traffic between Franoe and Austria-Hungary at Prague, it has been resolved to reduce the freight for corn from Pesth to Paris via Cologne. The advices from Buenos Ayres by the present mail are to the 16th of May. An experienced engineer, sent out by M. Lesseps, had arrived to survey the port and report on the practicability of making a harbour. The Brazilian journals received on this occasion contain the Financial Budget, and confirm the favourable details with regard to it recently published. The Secretary of the Metropolitan Railway Company writes to say that no other bill has been filed by the Cor poration of London than that referred to and explained at the meeting of the proprietors in February last. The Board has, with a view of terminating all disputes, di rected an offer to be made to the Corporation of London to leave the matters in dispute to the Recorder of London, or any gentleman named by him.

THE ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL MUSIC HALL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SUH." SIR,—In the Telegraph of this morning there is an ac count of what is termed a very serious accident occurring to one of the celebrated trapeze performers (the Brothers Voltaire), one of them having fallen into the net while taking what is termed amid-air summersault. lam happy to say that he is not injured in any way, and instead of being removed amidst great excitement as reported, he coolly bowed to the audience and walked off the stage, and could have been seen about the hall for some con siderable time afterwards. The net suspended over the stage is of sufficient strength to prevent any injury should either of the performers miss or fall. Trusting you will insert this communication, as the report may cause some anxiety to their admirers and be prejudicial to their interests-1 am, &c., J. SWEASEY. ANIMAL INSTINCT.—The instinct of animals is sometimes really surprising. There was once in posses sion of a farmer in Clonmel a goose that, by accident, was left without mate or offspring, male or female. Now it chanced that the good wife had set a number of ducks' eggs under a hen, which in time were incubated, and of course the ducklings took' to water, seeing which, the motherly old hen was in a sad pucker—her maternity urging her to follow the brood, and her selfishness to re main on dry land. In the meantime, up sailed the goose with clack and clatter, which interpreted, meant " Let me take care of them." She swam up and down with the youngsters, and when they wearied of their aquatic excursions recommitted them to the guardianship of the hen. In the morning, down came the ducks, there was the goose, and the hen was in great flustration. On this occasion, we don't know if the goose invited the hen to a friendly sail, but it is a fact, being near the shore, the hen jumped upon her back, a - Ad in company they cruised up and down, conveying the feathered flotilla. Day after day the hen, on board the goose, might be seen in perfect content and good humour. Numbers of people came to witness this extraordinary occurrence, which happened day after day until the juve nile excursionists arrived at the age of discretion, and fully posted in maritime matters, no longer needed the service of " goose and hen pilots, instructors," &c. - THE PROTESTANT (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.—The programme of the Protestant Conference, to be held in New York in September next, has been published :—" All Evangelical Christians in sympathy with the object," who can make it convenient to attend, art 'Promised a cordial and fraternal welcome. As an inducement to the accept- ante of the invitation, it is announced on behalf of the Inman Royal Mail Steamship Company that persons proceeding to New York to attend the confer ence will be conveyed from Liverpool to New York and back by any of the company's steamers at greatly reduced rates. The proceedings will begin on Thursday evening, September 22, when an address of welcome to the visitors is to be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Adams, of New York, and the ,visitors are to reply. During the following week a great variety of subjects will be discussed, and several well-known divines and theo logians will speak. Among the names announced are those of Dr. Tholuck (of Halle), Professor Revel (of Florence), Senor Carrasco (of Madrid), Dr. Stoughton, Dr. Angus, and Mr. Allon (of London). The Re v . Pro - fessor M'Cosh, formerly of Belfast, will discuss " Mate rialism and Positivism ; " the Rev. Ernest Naville of Geneva, " The Gospel and Philosophy ; " Dr. Pressense, of Paris, " The Present Aspects of Romanism ; " and Mr. Henry Ward Beecher, War and its Prevention." As shewing the wide range of subjects to be embraced, it may be stated that Professor Kidder, of Chicago, is to read a paper on " False Theories of marriage, with special reference to Mormonism :" and after the conference an international congress will be held for the discussion and prcootion of the material, social, and spiritual welfare of emigrants, in which dele gates from Europe and America are to take part. Al though the invitations are not limited to members of the Evangelical Alliance, it is expressly stated that they do not go beyond those who subscribe to the creed of that body, which is set forth in nine articles onrthe programme From these it appears that no person will be welcome who, does not believe in the eternal punishment of the wicked, and the Quakers are excluded by the ninth article, which requires belief in " The divine 'institution of the Christian ministry, and the obligation and perpe tuity of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper." THIS MORNING'S NEWS. THE FRENCH EMPEROR. The Emperor of the French presided at a Council of Ministers yesterday. His health has improved ; the rheumatism from which he suffers is confined to the leg. THE LOSS OF THE CITY OF BOSTON. The Court of Common Pleas, to-day, refused to make absolute a rule setting aside an order of Mr. Justice Blackburn for a Mr. Jenkins to answer an interrogatory whether he wrote a letter to the Times asserting that the Inman Steamship Company sent the City of Boston to sea overladen, and with defective screw power. It was contended on behalf of Mr. Jenkins that the answer, if in the affirmative, would tend to criminate him, and, therefore, the Court was asked to disallow it; but it was held there were special circumstances in the case to warrant Mr. Jus tice Blackburn in making his order.- Mr. Jenkins had, irs an affidavit asking for a special commission to take evidence at Halifax, acknowledged that he had received the letter in question from a Halifax merchant. The rule was discharged. COMPENSATION FOR RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. The select committee appointed to inquire into the advisability of altering the law with regard to giving cora • pensation for injuries caused by railway accidents, resumed its sittings this morning, when _ Captain O'Brien, of the North-Eastern Railway Com pany, explained to the committee the character of the investigation made by the directors in the event of an accident. He thought that there were greater facilities for carrying out the block system On the Metropolitan Rail waythan on any other. It would be impossible to carryit out so completely on the North Eastern as in the Metropolitan line on account of the mixed character of the traffic, the necessity for shunting goods and mineral trains, and from the amount of business to be done at the various stations. In principle the block system was quite perfect, but the difficulty lay in the application of the principle. Almost all the accidents at stations took place from a disregard of the signals. There were many' stations in which the present system worked so well, that it was thought unnecessary to interfere with it. The possibility of making the system perfect assumed the whole case, but it brought with it its own dangers. In point of fact, if the danger signals were done away with on the line with which he was connected, he should not like to retain his situation, with the increased responsibility. He did not agree with Mr. Oakley, that the block system would prevent all accidents between stations, because in one case in which it existed there was an accident ; but his impression of what Mr. Oakley had said was that the block system would prevent one passenger train from running into another. By Mr. Price : He did not think that the fact of the block system being adopted on a line would in the least influence the jury in the amount of damages they would assess. He thought they simply acted on the principla that it was the case of a rich company and a poor man. By Mr. Lefevre : If a servant was injured and the man was fit for work, they tried to keep him in his employ ment. If it were a case of death, they assisted his family, but there was no legal claim on them, they looked upon it as a case of charity. He could not say that there was any specific improvement made in consequence of accidents, because they mostly arose from negligence. They were, however, always improving their line, and some of the most valuable inquiries had taken place in cases in which the accident bad been very slight, or had been altogether avoided, bur the system, if duly carried out, was quite sufficient to ensure the efficient working of the line with a mini. mum of accidents. In some cases the men were employed a great number of hours, but he could not give an average. in consequence of the variation in the nature of their duties. In some cases the duties were so slight that a man might go on for twenty-four hours, but in others, such, for instance, as the case of the men who had to attend to the points at the entrance of the King's-cross tunnel, he should think six hours would be long enough. Certainly fifteen hours would be too great a strain on him. Mr. R. T. Mansell, the manager of the North London Railway, stated that he had filled that situation for eight years, and that previously he had filled the situation of traffic superintendent on the Chester and Holyhead line, and the London and North Western Railway. Mr. Allport, manager of the Midland Railway Company, gave evidence of a similar character. All the witnesses men tioned individual cases in which enormous damages had been awarded to persons for supposed internal injuries, but which turned out to be nothing at all. The committee adjourned at four o'clock. THE PROSECUTION OF MR BENNETT. The case of " Sheppard v. Bennett," which involved the prosecution of the vicar of Frome for the propagation of tenets contrary to the laws of the Church of England, came on to-day in the Court of Arches. Dr. Stephens, Dr. Tristram, Mr. Archibald, and Mr. Shaw appeared for the promoter of the suit. The defendant was unrepresented. Dr. Stevens said before entering into this case he wished to make an observation in some degree of a personal cha:- racter. On the last two occasions, when this case was in troduced into court, during his absence some harsh observations were made by his lordship in reference to the delay which had taken place in t he prosecution of the suit. As leading counsel in this case, he took upon him self the exclusive responsibility of its management, The order in Council con t a i n i ng a re p or t of the Judicial Committee was made on the 31st March, 1867. During the first week in April, an appointment was made at his chambers for consultation, and he then understood that Mr. Bennett was selling a book which contained the following passage " the body and blood of Christ in its real presence is given to and received by all, both in respect of those who eat and drink unworthily, and in respect of those who eat and drink worthily." Concerning that, it would be necessary for the ends of justice to obtainfurther legislation, and as the best way, would be to have thei whole question in reference to the Real Presence argues in once case and at onetime, he advised that an application should be made to the Bishop of Bath and \V ei .* for permis sion to institute proceedings against Mr. Bennett undertho Church Discipline Act in reference to the book in ques tion. When he gave that advice, he did not conceive, but that the Bishop would have granted the application. It was made accordingly to his lordship on the 13th May,. and a letter was subsequently received from the bishop, in which he refused to allow any pro- ceedings to be instituted in reference to that publication. On the 28th May a remission was filed in the registry of the court, and there was only a delay of fifteen days, and an appeal could not have been heard by the Privy Council earlier had any other steps been taken. The apparitor of the court proved the service of the subpcena on the defendant, both to appear and to produce the manuscripts of certain articles of which it was alleged he was the author. —The Rev. Mr. Shipley, examined by Mr. Archibald, said he was a clergyman of the Church of England. He was editor of "The Church and the World.' The essay in question was sent to him by Mr. Bennett for publication, and forwarded by him to Messrs. Rivington for publication. Witnesses were called to prove the pub lication of books containing the objectionable teachings from Mr. Bennett's manuscripts. Dr. Stevens then opened the case. He said the promoter in this case was Mr. Sheppard, a gentleman holding an influential position in the parish of Frome. The question in reference to the Holy Eucharist, which had arisen between Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Bennett was of the gravest importance. The charges brough against the defendant were for having in his works dealing with the Tractarianism of 1833, and published in a book called " The Church of the World "in 1867. The other work containing objectionable matter was entitled " A Plea for Toleration in the Church of England," and both of these works contained tractarian views, it was contended, at variance with the laws ecclesiastic. In order to substantiate those charges he proposed to divide the arguments into two divisions. It would be necessary to inquire, therefore, what were the doctrines of the Church of - England as contained in the Thirty-nine Articles of religion and other formularies of the Church in relation to the matters which Mr. Bennetthadwritten and published. Secondly, what was a fair construction of the meaning ofMr. Bennett's publications. The first step in this inquiry would be to trace in detail the forms and statutes and other documents of the Church of England and the gradual steps by which the doctrines had been framed from the be ginning of the reign of Edward VI. until its final settlement in the reign of Charles the Second. When these doctrines had been ascertained it would be necessary to detail separately what the Church embodied in the articles against Mr. Bennett. Before, however, attention was directed to the precise state of the Eucharistic doctrine of the Church of England, at the cottre mencement of her Reformation, it would be im portant to ascertain what would be the constituted rules and to shew documents in, matters of doctrine. General riles had been very clearly laid down by the judges in answer to certain questions proposed to them by the House of Lords in the case of Shore and Wilson. :Vow the question in that case was respecting the legisla tive manner Of discovering the sense in which'Lady Hewlett had made use of the words, " The Godly preachers of Christ's Gospel." In that case, it was decreed that the words must be construed according to their general mean ing. Now, the charge against Mr. Bennett was that he had maintained doctrines contrary to the articles and formularies of the Church. The question could not be raised whether Mr. Bennett's doctrine is conformable with Scripture, be cause such question would involve the previous case, whether the Thirty-nine Articles or other formularies of the Church are conformable to the Scrip tures, which can be settled by no other tribunal, but Parliament could decide. The learned counsel then referred to the Twenty-eight and Twenty nine Articles of the Church. In reference to the taking and eating of the elements, the former, he said, went to'shew that the body was only given spiritually by God and not by the priest ; it was taken by faith, and not by hand. It was eaten by the soul, and not by the body, and that the only means by which the body was received was by faith. The views also laid down by tne doctrine of the 29th Article declared that the wicked were in no wise partakers of Christ, which was distinctly opposite to the teaching of Mr. Bennett, that the Body was received by all. The 29th Article was decisive therefore against any Real Presence in the elements on the Altar or in the holy places. At this period of the learned counsel's address the hearing was adjourned until to-morrow. TURNPIKES. Sir WATICIN WILLIAMS WYNN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department with reference to the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill, whether he was in a posi tion to state what were the intentions of the Government as to the introduction of a bill for dealing generally with Turnpike tolls in England and Wales. Mr. Bnucz said he was sorry he could not give a clear answer to the hon. gentleman. Owing to the press of business a great many matters that had been mentioned in the Royal Speech on the open ing of Parliament had not even been laid before Parliament, and others had been greatly delayed. All they could do under such circumstances was to select such as should be produced during the pre sent session, but that selection had not yet taken place. THE - EMBASSY HOUSE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. Mr. RYLANDS asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in the event of the rebuilding of the Embassy House at Constantinople being determined upon, he would lay upon the table of the House the estimates of the work proposed to be done before any contracts for the same are entered into or sanctioned by the Treasury. Mr. STANSFELD said that should it be determined to re build the Embassy house at Constantinople, he would undertake it should not be done until the estimate was laid before Parliament. THE CHINESE EMBASSY Colonel SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether Mr. M`Leavy Brown, ex- Chinese Secretary to the Legation at Pekin, and private secretary to the British Minister, and now in charge of the Chinese Embassy to Europe had resigned his office or was still in the service of the British Government; and if so, whether on the return of the Chinese Embassy to Pekin he would be permitted to resume his place in the British service.

TROOPS IN TIPPERARY. Mr. HERON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of the Government to comply with the request of the Board of Guardians of the Tip perary Union and to remove from the workhouse of Tip perary the troops now stationed there for more than three years, the continual occupation of the workhouse by ti • military being, in the opinion of the Board of Guar dians, injurious to the health of the inmates from over crowding, and prejudicial to.the discipline of the establish ment. Mr. C. FORTESCITE said he must admit that there was some reason for complaint, but it was absolutely necessary to keep the soldiers still in the house at Tipperary, He was not able to say when they would be withdrawn, or whether the War authorities had determined to build barracks in that part ofEreland. THE MURDERS IN GREECE. Mr. EASTWICK asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he would explain how it happened that Mr. Erskine was left for some time without the aid of any Secretary of Legation during late events in Greece ; how soon after the capture of Mr. Herbert was known Mr. Watson started for Athens from Constantinople ; and what measures were taken by the Turkish authorities to prevent Takos Arvanitakos from escaping into Turkish territory. - Mr. OTwAY circumstantially replied to the first part of the question, and in reference to the latter portion said, that immediately the Turkish authorities were informed of the events which had taken place in Greece, they gave strict orders that the frontiers should be watched, and orders were given with regard to the capture of the brigands should they be found on the Turkish territory. On the 9th inst. Mr. Erskine reported that Takos and his band had entered Turkish territory, and the Turkish authorities immediately sent down stringent erders for their pursuit and capture. THE RANK OF CORNET. Mr. DICKSON asked the Secretary of State for Wai whether it was his intention to abolish the rank of cornet and ensign, notwithstanding the promise made to the House on March 14th that this should not be done pend ing the report of the Royal Commission now sitting to consider the purchase system. Mr. CARDWELL replied in the negative. THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the First Lord of the Trea sury on what ground and under what authority Mr. Leonard Edmunds had been arrested, and was now con fined in Whitecross-street Prison, the Act 32 and 33 Vic. c. 62 declaring " That no person shall, after the com mencement of this Act, be arrested or imprisoned for making default in payment of a sum of money." Mr. GLADSTONE explained that Mr. Edmunds was in debted to the Crown in a sum of £7,904, and the autho rity under which he was taken was the authority of the law, which had not been altered in respect to Crown debts, by any recent legislation. He had been informed that Mr. Edmunds called in_ question the legality of the act, and had applied for his discharge. Consequently the motion of legality would be immediately determined.

CHARGE OF ISSUING A FALSE PROSPECTUS. On Wednesday two persons, Gibson and Yeomanr,were committed for trial at the next Manchester Assizes on a charge of conspiracy to defraud a shipowner at Hartlepool, who had sent the prisoners, who held a small office in Man chester, £2OO for four shares in the North Caradon Mining Company, on the faith of an assurance in the prospectus that there were extensive minerals to be worked. At a previous hearing of the case instructions were read which had been discovered in the prisoners' office from a co partner in Paris named Wadge to keep the thing going on in eight or ten newspapers at once, and promisng .to put £4,000 into "Gibson's pocket. —An inspector of police who has been in Cornwall proved that there was no such place as North Caradon, as described in the company's prospectus, but that on the estate of Rilla Mill, on which Gibson had got a license from the Duchy to search for minerals, there was an old pit, now filled up and overgrown with furze and ferns, which had been similarly licensed by Wadge four years ago. It was stated that the prisoners had received twelve hundred pounds in deposits since the prospectus was issued, and what was described as a bundle of letters was produced in court, which, within the last week, have been received by the police from indignant shareholders. Bail was taken for the prisoners in a thousand pounds each, and two sureties of five hundred pounds each.

At Jarrow-on-the-Tyne on Wednesday a new war vessel named the Swiftsure, built for her Majesty's Govern ment, was launched from the ship-building yard of C. M. Palmer and Co., making the fifth war frigate issued from this yard for the royal navy. The Swiftsure has been built from designs supplied by Mr. R J. Reid, C.E. Dimensions, length over all, 291 ft.; extreme breadth, 55ft.; extreme depth, 46ft. Her registered ton nage is about 3,893 tons. She is of immense strength, being heavily plated throughout, and will be able to attain an unusually swift speed. She is intended for a ram as well as a battery. She is plated below the water line with half-inch plating, and above the water line an armour plated belt, six and eight inches in thickness, runs round the vessel. The armour-plating is backed with teak wood, ten inches thick, covered with two thicknesses of five eighths inch plate, with a ten-inch frame behind, making the sides at this part two feet three and a quarter inc Les thick. All the decks are plated with five sixteenths sheet plates as a preventive against injury from liquid fire. Four longitudinals divide the vessel into about 130 water-tight compartments, so that in the event of her being struck she will still retain her buoyancy. Her weight far exceeds that of any ironclad launched in the north of England. She has accommodation for 320 men, exclusive of officers. Immediately after the launch shewent into the Tyne dock to receive her engiaes, a pair of surface condensing ones of 800 horse-power, made by Maudsley, Son, and Field, of London. A twin sister of the Swiftsure is being constructed, and will be launched soon, when it is expected that the Palos of Wales will take vart in the ceremony. A COTTON LADEN VESSEL BURNT.

The New York papers, just received, report a serious accident on the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western , Railroad about seven o'clock on the morning of the third instant, near Paterson, New Jersey. Twenty-five carpenters left Paterson on a car heavily loaded with timber for the new bridge over the Passaic river, near Rutherford Park. The track is down grade, and it is customary to send the cars down alone, without any locomotive, the gravity being sufficient for its propulsion. In attempt ing to apply the brake upon approaching a sharp curve leading to the trestle work carrying the road over the Paterson and Newark Railway the chain of the brake broke, and the car dashed around the curve at full speed, and free from all restraint. The car went partially round until, when a few feet upon the trestle, It jumped from the track, and precipitated its load of human beings and heavy bridge timber in one con. fused wreck some twenty feet below. The first impres• sion was that nearly all were killed, and for an instant ac one stirred. The uninjured, however, one by one jumped up and proceeded to extricate the wounded from the ruins. Twenty persons were killed and injured. Mr. Leonard Edmunds, who commenced an action for libel against the Treasury. Lords, has been arrested at the suit of the Crown for the award declared against Mm.

CHARLES DICKENS.—Sir John Bowring writes to the Daily News illustrating Charles's Dickens's accuracy of observation. Sir John wrote to Dickens pointing out that a passage in his description of opium smoking was incorrect. In reply Dickens said he had personally visited the docks and had only described the opium smoking as he had seen it practised there by Chinamen. UNANIMITY OF THE IRISH PEOPLE.—Some friends of the National Lifeboat Institution in Dublin are now organising a national bazaar in aid of the support of the twenty-eight lifeboats the institution has placed on the Irish coast at an expense of about £16,800. The appeal has met with an unanimous response—people of every grade, Protestant andßoman Catholic, appear to be anxi ous to promote this humane undertaking in every way in their power, and it is expected that the Irish Grand National Bazaar to be held in the course of the present year at Dublin will be a great success. The ladies of the different towns and counties have taken up the matter with great energy ; and, of course, upon their continued efforts depends in a great measure the success of the Irish Great Lifeboat Bazaar. FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE DEE.—Since Saturday two more fatal accidents have occurred on the Dee, near Chester. On Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock a horse breaker, named Henry Sidebotham, attempted to cross the river at shallow water, expecting that the horse would swim. A few yards from Flintshire both the man and the horse were drowned. An inquest was held on Wednes day, when a verdict of accidental death was given. On Wednesday, at noon, a party consisting of Mr. and Mr s . Alsopp, Mrs. Nicholson, her nurse, and children, left Chester in a pleasure boat to take a trip up the river. Having gone two miles, they went on shore to take re freshments. Mr. and Mrs. Alsopp got into the boat again; on Mrs. Nicholson getting in the boat capsized. Mrs. Nicholson was saved, but Mr. and Mrs. Alsopp were drowned. The nurse and children did not get into the boat. The bodies have been recovered. The deceased lived at Rock Ferry, near LiverpooL HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening an inquest was held at Biggleswade, Bedfordshire on the bodies of Thomas Bast on , car p en t er , an d A nn Larman, who were killed upon the Great Northern Railway on the previous night. The pair were attempting to cross the line near the station about midnight, but were checked by the passing of a local luggage train. They stood on the down line metals to wait until they could pass, and were caught by a fast Manchester luggage train which runs through without stopping. The driver's attention was attracted by some breken glass flying in his face ; the train was stopped, and one of the lamps was found smashed and covered with human hair and blood. The party who went in search found some fragments of female apparel, then a woman's hand, and further on her head, ghastly, and completely severed from the trunk. A little further on the mangled corpse of the man was found, with the skull stove in and the feet cut off. The remains of the woman's body were scattered in all direc tions, but were collected as nearly as possible and placed in the porter's room. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and advised precautions to make the level crossing less dangerous. The deceased woman lived in the locality; Baston's relatives reside at Oxford.
