The exports were valued at $11,360,826 and at $3,738,547 r e _ g l ge, 13pectively, so that a heavy balance of trade still 10 exists against our transatlantic neighbours.

PO/MEW7.-oclavius King, the young man who was brought befo re t h e L ord Mayor on S a t ur d ay i n custody of John F orres t er, was aga i n placed at the bar, c h arge d with uttering three forged acceptances for 1,5001., 1,5001., and 1,4501., with intent to defraud the Na tional Discount Company. He is described on the police-sheet as 21 years of age, merchant, of the Ter race, Newmarket. Tbs prisoner, who is very respect ably connected, appeared to feel acutely his degraded Position, and from his exhausted state he was accom modated with a seat. It appears there are several bills of a heavy amount now running supposed to have been uttered and forged by him. Since his incarcera tion he has been adjudicated a bankrupt. Mr. Ila Hams, of the firm of Martin and Hallama, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. Mr. Hallam said be should not offer any further evidence. He thought sufficient had been adduced to prove the charge. The Lord Mayor said he thought so also. Mr. Wontner did not object to the course proposed. The depaitions, the particulars of which have already been published, were read over, and the prisoner was committed for trial. MARLDOROUGH•STREET. A DISHONEST SERVANT.— Thomas Almond and ilfary Buck,thorne were placed at the bar before Mr. 'lngham, the former prisoner charged with stealing a quantity of tobacco, the property of Mr. Rogers, tobacco manufac turer, High-street, St. Giles ; and the latter with receiv ing the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. C. Lewis appeared for the female prisoner. Franklin, 72 F, stated that, from information he had received from the prosecutor, be was induced to watch the prisoner, who was in his employ, and who was sus pected of robbing him. On Tuesday night last he saw the prisoner leave prosecutor's shop, and he followed him to the corner of Fox-court, Gray's-inn-lane, where he (prisoner) was joined by another man, to whom he delivered a parcel. The prisoner and his compa nion then went into a public-house, and the other man shortly after left and took the parcel to No. 1, Fox -court. The prisoner left the public-house, but witness, in consequence of not having assistance at hand, did not then take him into custody. Last night he watched the prisoner again, and about half past 8 he saw him leave his work, and, after dodging him about for some time, he followed him to No. 1, Fox-court, a chandler's shop. The female prisoner was in the shop, and the prisoner gave her a parcel con taining tobacco, which she weighed and put away behind the counter. She gave the prisoner some money, and when he came out of the shop witness took him into custody. Holmes, 50 F, who was with witness at the time, took charge of the woman. The parcel of tobacco new produced was subsequently found behind the counter. David Fowkes, manager to the prosecutor, identified the tobacco as the property of his employer. The pri soner had been in their employ for about three years, and latterly he bad been given to drink and dishonest habits. which was locked when he saw it an hour before the , prisoner was missing. Whe❑ he saw it again it was broken to pieces, and the money was gone. From in formation he received he went to the station-house and found the prisoner there. Police constable Smith, No. 403 K, said that he found the prisoner last night in a place called Blue-gate-fields, Shadwell, with some drunken sailors and loose women. She was very much intoxicated and disorderly, and it appeared had been to a house of ill fame with a sailor before he took her into custody. Mr. Elliott expressed his surprise at so much immo rality in a girl so young, and asked her age. The prisoner replied that she was 15. Smith added that the prisoner confessed to him that morning that she broke open the money box and stole all the money, except a three-penny piece which she left in I the bottom of the box. A shop-keeper said the prisoner was formerly in his employ, and she robbed him of money and goods, but he overlooked it and allowed her to escape without punish- merit. The prisoner said she was guilty, and very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Elliott was afraid the prisoner was a most incorri• Bible thief. This was not the first time she had robbed her employer, and she appeared to indulge i❑ the mos , • • vicious propensities. He sentenced her to two months imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Bingham asked whether the woman was known Franklin said she was the wife of a porter in Gray's. 11D. Mr. Bingham—Then how came she in the shop in Fox-court Mr. Lewis said he could explain that. The fact was, the female who kept the shop was a friend of his client, and having occasion to go out for the day, she requested her (his client) to mind the shop for her, which she, out of kindness, did. Her husband wag a highly respectable man, and he (Mr. Lewis) could assure the court that his wife knew nothing whatever about the tobacco being stolen. The male prisoner pleaded guilty, and said drink was :he cause of his present disgrace. Mr. Bingham committed him for two months. As to the female there did not seem to be anything against her ; he should therefore discharge her. MR. DISRAELI 42' HOME. Oa Tuesday Mr. Disraeli made his appearance at the annual gathering of an agricultural society near his own estate, at Hughendon Manor, Bucks, k nown as the Amersham and Chesham Agricul:ural Association. The chair was taken by the senior member for the county, the Hon. C. C. Cavendish, and there was a large attendance of the local gentry, including Viscount Cur zon, W. Loundes, Esq., T. T. Drake, Esq., &c. After the usual toasts had been given, Mr. Disraeli rose to return thanks 84 one of " The Members for the County." After a few words of apology, he said - --Although I agree on these social occasions on almost every subject with my friend, Mr. Cavendish, there is one sentiment in which I cannot coincide with him —viz., that it would have been as well that the health of the county members had not been given. Gentlemen, I should have been unhappy and ashamed if I thought that the representative of this great, this undivided county could be considered, under any circumstances, as a mere political partisan. I look forward with the deepest inte rest and gratification to these occasions, when we meet together without reference to political principles, political passions, or political bodies, united together by our com mon sympathies, our common interests, our common county. I can say most sincerely—and it was not my intention to have referred in the most indirect manner to political subjects—that although Mr. Cavendish and myself sit on different sides of the House of Commons, still, whenever the interests of the county of Buckingham are at stake, there has never been the slightest difference of opinion between us, and on all such occasions I have received from him cordial and invariable support, and I have been guided and benefited by his advice and coun sel. Gentlemen, I would now with your -permission it down, but that a question was asked me down stairs, to which I said, perhaps rashly, that I would reply after dinner. I was asked just now, by one of the most in fluential members of your society what was my opinion on agricultural statistics I I have no desire to avoid an answer to that question, because this association being formed purely for the benefit of the agricultural interest, it is a question that was rightly asked, and which I ought not to avoid giving an answer to. I hope it will never be said of me or of any member representing you, that he or lam an enemy to information. I believe infor mation, and correct information, is the only solid basis of true and real legislation, and I am sure that neither the agricultural interest nor any other interest in this important county, would ever oppose the collection of information that is likely to prove a benefit to the com munity. But on this subject of agricultural statistics, oa which so much agitation exists, on which Ministers have been defeated, in which Parliament has been ap pealed to in vain, without being permitted to solve the difficulty, I believe that the Ministers of no country have the means of obtaining such sound and extensive information as to the agriculturarproducts of thecountry as the Minister of England. There is not a parish in the country of which the acreage is not known, and even the mode of cultivation of that acreage. This in. formation exists in the Commutation Acts, in the award under Inclosure Acts, and in the maps of parochial assessments. Ido not for a moment maintain that it may not be necessary to obtain more accu rate or wider information. But when I hear it main tained that we are absolutely in the dark as to this im portant article of produce, and the means by which it is produced, I hope it Will not be considered impertinent or irreverent on my part, as your member, to remind you that there are already existing in the country these remarkably fall means of ascertaining these results. It may be that fuller and more accurate information is required, but how is it to be obtained Suppose an inspector had been sent round, before last harvest, to ascertain the probable results of the harvest, and to for ward to the Government the fruits of his research, could anything be more deceptive than such reterns ? Would they not have required to be diminished by 25 per cent. on the crops promised ? The deduction I draw is, that on this subject only general results can be available to guide us in legislation, and in this country there exist at present means of obtaining these general results, which no Minister of any coun t ry possesses in an equal' degree with the Minister of England. Ido not say this in any way to encourage you in any blind, bigoted opposition to information, or to any measure by which it can be more accurately obtained. But we live in an age of sta tistical imposture, and many statements are made on these matters by men entirely unacquainted with rural life, and not possessed of that information which is ne cessary on subjects of such delicacy and importance. We have a great basis of information in the country to build upon, and I believe we may both increase that basis and go on to build upon it. But I will not encou rage that cry, which is the cry of ignorance, that this great civilised country is so deficient in the means of authentic and positive information as to the agricultural produce of England. We may—l trust we shall—im prove these means, and we cannot so improve them without the cordial support of the agricultural body. But that support will not, ought not, to be obtained, unless that body is treated with that deference and cour tesy on the subject which are its due, I trust you will pardon me for these observations, since, although we are assembled for pleasure, this is in some sense a business meeting. Let me again thank you for the honour you have paid me, and also to my absent colleague, Mr. Du Pre, to whom I shall not fail to mention when I meet him the kindness with which you havereceived him. lean assure you both for myselfand for all royaolleagues, that to be re membered with respect and regard in assemblies like the present is the greatest reward we can receive, and the inspiration of public life which never fails.—(Cheers.) Subsequently, in proposing prosperity to the Associa tion, Mr. DISRAELI said—l recollect —and I hope there are few present who can recollect-go far back (nearly a quarter of a century)—the institution of the first agri cultural association in this county, at which I assisted. I recollect the ridicule and the line of depreciation which was extended at that time, not only to assoc'ations of this nature, but to all bodies of men collected together in this somewhat desultory way, for any purposes. Even that great scientific socieey, which since has com manded the attention not only of England but of Europe, was treated not only with depreciation but with ridicule. It was said that Sir Isaac Newton did not discover the law of gravitation by the aid of a learned society, and, applying the same to agriculture, that the plough was not invented at an agricultural meeting, (Loud laughter.) Notwithstanding these attempts to bring men together, they have proved superior to ridicule, and they continue to benefit society and to prosper. It is with great satis faction that I behold, throughout this country, not one agricultural association only, but that their name is legion—that in every district and part of Buckingham shire men have felt the comfort and advantage of meet ing together—the benefit of the communication of ideas and the communion of sentiment—and that it is not in one town and one district alone, but in many towns and many districts, that we find the life and spirit of the county thus united, and that in that union men find advantage and strength. I know that there is some times some jealousy on the subject ; but so far from having any jealousy, the only feeling of regret I ex perience is, that I have not the pbysical means and occasion of meeting my friends and constituents at all these places and on all such occasions ; and I am doubly happy in meeting to-day those with whom lam most nearly connected by property and neighbourhood. I think the time has passed away when it is necessary to vindicate this toast, though it has often been my lot in past times to perform this then difficult and un gracious task. lam content to rest my vindication on the broad Around that it is good for men to meet together, and in agricultural counties especially, where we have not, so to speak, the machin'ery of great towns to assist the aggregation of men, we must have resource to sc cieties of this kind to bring them together, and in no in stance have they been otherwise than beneficial. The operations of your society must not be very consider able, but the objects are such as aim at the very best dis positions of man. I cannot look on the rewards distri buted to-night to various classes without feeling that they must have a most beneficial and beautiful effect on all parts of your agricultural system. It is absurd to pretend for a moment that the effect of the scenes of the day vanish as the sun descends and exercise no influence on the morrow that follows. The sturdy ploughman that may have obtained prizes to night, on his boy who has whistled at the plough, if to-morrow be meets the farmer who has gained the premium for his five acres of swedes, will feel a spirit of fraternity which all the laws artificially enacted by senates never could create. Well, then, I place it on the back ground that it is good for men to meet together—that man is never so weak as when he is isolated—on this I rest the vindication of these societies. And if there is any class on whom that truth ought to be more impressed thin another, it is the tiller of the soil. He fulfils the most important, the noblest, of all duties to society, but he fulfils it alone, and he of all others in the community should seek the society of his fellows, that there he may obtain the strength that is necessary for all men in this world of contest. And, gentlemen, always remember that emu lation is the parent of enterprise. It is impossible that men can meet together without feeling, however noble may be the rivalry, some degree of emulation, and it is that emulation which leads to improvement. Think what an important fact, in old times, the market day was to the farmer. It is market day that has kept the farmer alive. (Cheers.) He drives ioto the town, he meets his fellow, fie exchanges ideas, and hears that such a one has made such improvements, and has ob tained such advantages, and he is induced to enter into honourable and beneficial rivalry with his neighbours. But what else is the tendency of these associations which were founded twenty or thirty years ago, and w hi c h have since so much increased ? Their tendency is to multiply the influence of market day, to take the agriculturist out of his isolation, to make him fed how important is sympathy to success in all operations, to make him feel that it is only by union that these ope rations can be successfully conducted, and that he can obtain that fair play to which he is entitled. There is not a class of agriculturists whose position has not, in my !opinion, been advantaged by these associations. From the inhabitant of the cottage, who at this moment is communicating with pride to his family the achieve ments of the day, to the provident occupi.r of land who is now meditating the seeds of future scientific enter prise, I feel sure that an impulse has been given to every class. Ido not pretend that these societies should rest on a hi g h er b as i s ; it is on social considerations that support th em . B ut soc i al considerations lead to scien • tific research, and the more you keen together, the more you w ill fi nd energy of mind exhib i ted, scientific enter prise i ncrease d , an d a sense o f your own influence and import ance i n soc i e t y f os t ere d .

The following is the report the direct ors to be pre sented at the fourteenth half-y early gen shar e h o ld ers to b e h e ld on Mon day next seal meeting of:— " The board of directors ;las e again the pleisure of meetin g the shareholders with n satisfactory statement of the affairs of the company. The contractors engaged in the construction of the works' .between the foot of the Boors Gbaut and Sholapoor (220' miles) have made pro gress even beyond expectation, and it is already evident that this line will be opened considerably within the period fixed by t h e respective contra's for the comple- by works. This result will Lie obtained partly by the energy which the contractors themselves have displayed in their management, and partly by, reductions made in the works at the Gbaut through the skill of the less resident enginee than 100,000/. r, Whereb y a great saving in cost (not ), will be effected for the benefit of the company. The Brat section of the south-eastern aria of the railway, froar Callian to Campoolee, was opened for traffic in the month of May, as was promised in the last half-year's report of the directors. Th e l engt h of line in operation is therefe re now 83 miles, via., 32 miles from Bombay to Callian ; 17 miles ( diverging N.E ) from Callian to Wassind ; and 39 miles (diverging S.E.) from Callian to Campolee. The directors are fully satisfied with the traffic brought along this newly opened portion of railway. The following statement will enable the shareholders and the public to judge of the comparative growth of the traffic for the three past half-years, and the progressive decrease of working ex penses for the same period : FOB THE HALF-TEAILS zantros Jane 30, 1855.

In connection with the North-Esters Extension line, running throughout the Bera: field to Nagpore, the contract drawings and specifications have just been completed, and the works on this important and fertile section of the railway will be put to competition in the course of a month or two from this date. The Hon. East India Company have, since the last report, formally sanctioned a further portion of the main line in this direction up to Jubbulpore, where it will unite with the East Indian Railway, and form a continuous communication between Bombay and Calcutta. This further concession place's within the limits of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company the district of Oossungabad, on the Nerbudda, where there is known to be a most extensive field of coal and iron in conjunction ; and this company will thus have a cheap and abundant supply of fuel for the locomotive engines, the want of which is its grea t es t present disad vantage. Th e length of line now officially sanctioned is, in the aggregate, 1,103 miles. Since the last meeting of shareholders, a further amount of 1,000,000/. capital has been issued, guaranteed 5 per cent, interest; and the present capital of the company therefore amounts to 4,000,0001., in shares of 201. each ; and 333,8001. in loans upon debenture bonds at 4i per cent, interest, issued for a determinate period of five years. The state ment of accounts in relation to capital and rerenne, up to the termination of the half-year ending the 30th June, 1856, will be found appended to this report. These statements have been duly examined with the books of the company by the accountants of the Hon. East India Company, in addition to a minute audit by the company's auditors." The revenue account showed that during the half-year ended the 30th of June last, the receipts were 1 5,1911.95., or 165,724 rs, and the expenditure 7,115/. 9s. 4d., or 77,628 rs., leaving a balance of net profit 8,075/. 19s.

Lord Minto was long ago qualified by au Austrian paper as the " stormy petrel," and this soubriquet has been adopted by all the reac tionary papers which are published in Italy. The noble earl is known under the name of "Uccello della tempesta." It appears now that his lordship has been superseded by his son-in-law, Lord John Russell. The clerical papers of Turin have openly stated that Lord John Russell has come to Italy on a secret political mission, which, of course, is directed against the peace of Europe, and to blow to atoms all the thrones of Italy. I understand from Florence that the alarm of the Grand Duke and his Government is really excessive. It may be hoped, therefore, that the Earl of Malmesbury, who arrived here last night from Venice, will come in for his share of these absurd suspicions, and we shall find his lordship denounced as an " unbridled demagogue !"—Morning Post. THE LATE MURDERS AND PIRACY ON BOARD THE GLOBE, BAROE, IN THE BOS PHORUS. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. The prisoners were brought up again to-day before the bench of magistrates, but owing to the absence of the master of the vessel they were again remanded until Saturday, the 25th inst. The prosecutor for the Crown, Mr. Swainson, stated that owing to the orders that the barque Globe was bound or consigned to London, the master had been obliged to leave this port to navigate his vessel to the Thames from Falmouth, and that owing to the prevalence of easterly winds it might be some time before she could reach her destination. The prisoners desired the interpreter to state that they had been in gaol long enough, and had no ness to be detained. The Chevalier Pappalardo, who, as the Neapolitan consul, was in attendance on the bench with t h e magistrates to watch the case, rendered very yalipbie assistance. Th e c h eva li er explained to t h e prisone rs . until that they w ere i n custody on a charge of mur d er piracy, an d t h at t h ey were again to go b e l ow Saturday.

The cricket ground is about 350 yards round it, so that to accom plish the task he had to run over the course 55 times, and a distance every filth time round. The ground was heavy, consequently time was the favourite. Pudney wia , in excellent condition, and appeared to run as fast at the finigh as in any part of the race.

IMPORTANT QUESTION OF COMMERCIAL INTERNATIONAL LAW.-- HIRSCH, STROTIIER, AND CO., V. WONTERS. Mr. Montague Leverson appeared as attorney for the plaintiffs in this case, who are merchants at Brussels, to apply for an order for the appointment of " experts" or viewers of goods which had been transmitted from Cal cutta to London. Mr. Leverson applied on a former occasion, and pro duced a decree of the Tribunal of Commerce, at Brus sels, requesting as an act of repriority that the Court of Common Pleas or any other Court in England having cognisance over disputes between merchants should re port to the Tribunal of Commerce. the opinions of the " experts." His Honour on that occasion doubted his jurisdiction. Mr. Leverson submitted that his Honour, as judge of the Sheriffs' Court of London, had a jurisdiction to any amount by consent, but it was subsequently decided that the City Sheriffs' Court for the recovery of small debts had no authority in the matter, but under the old jurisdiction the Court had extensive jurisdiction, and a special Court was appointed for the purpose of rehearing the argument. Mr. Leverson now submitted the names of Mr. Gus tavus Dressler, of Idol-lane, seed merchant, and Mr. W. Grahame, of the firm of Wilson, Rose, and Grahame, as the ex parte or referees, which was assented to by the other side, and made declaration to make a return. The case is of a very peculiar nature. The Courts of Common Pleas and the Tribunal of Commerce both being in vacation, the only resort was to this Court to exercise a power so seldom 'exercised as to have been deemed almost obsolete. SOUTHWARK. AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS ON A FEMALE AND HER HUSBAND. —Arvin Stronincer, a sweep, was brought up n custody, charged with committing a cowardly and brutal assault on Mary Oliver, the wife of a mechanic residing in Gravel lane. He was also charged with assaulting the latter while attempting to protect his wife from his further violence. The female complainant, who appeared so weak from the injuries received that she could not stand, stated that on the previous night she went into the King of Prussia Tavern, at the corner of Union•street, with her husband, when she saw the prisoner there and two fe- males with whom they were acquainted. They drank together, and about twelve o'clock witness left the house to go home. As soon as she got into the street some one came behind her and struck her a heavy blow on the side of the head, which felled her to the earth. While on the ground she received several kicks on her body. She believed the prisoner to be the person who assaulted her, and he was given into custody. Ann Carter, the wife of Joseph Carter, said be was in the house with the complainant, aid they all drank together. They had no words or quarrelling, but Mrs. Oliver left them to go home. The prisoner followed her out and knocked her down, after which he kicked her, and he believed he would have murdered her bad not Mrs. Oliver and her husband come to her assistance. John Oliver, the husband of the complainant, who supported her during the examination, stated that when his wife left the public-house he was about to follow her when a friend called him back to speak to him. H e then beard a loud scream outside, and on proceeding to see what was the matter he perceived his wife lying on the pavement calling out for help, and the prisoner kicking her violently. He immediately seized hold of him and pulled him away, when he struck witness several times. A policeman came up at the time and he gave him into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that they had all been drinking together, and left the public house at the same time. He denied assaultin g the complain ant, who might have fell down and injured herself. He, however, was very drunk, and hardly knew what he was about. The Magistrate said it was a brutal assault, without any provocation ; and, as a caution to him for the future, he should commit him to the House of Correction for three months, with hard labour. THAMES. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND IMMORALITY.--Mary Ann Schneder, servant, 15, but who did not appear more than 12, and was in a sate of great agitation and trem bling, was brought before Mr. Elliott, of the Lambeth Police-court, who officiated for Mr. Selfe, charged, on her own confession, with stealing 4s. 6d., the moneys of her employer. Mr. James Samuels, a tobacconist, 11, Palmer's-folly, Ratcliffe•bighway, stated that the prisoner had been in his service about seven weeks only, and in the course of that time he had been robbed to a great extent, but he did not suspect the prisoner unil last night when she ab. scouded from his house, and directly afterwards he dis covered that a box was broken open -and 4s. 61 taken out, the hex in which be usually kept his silver, and TUE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE SURREY GA RDENS. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. From observations made on the spot it is now certain 'bat death in every case ensued upon the circular stone staircase leading from the first gallery to the ground floor, in the north-western tower of the building. It is also a fact that every one of the persons killed sat or stood during the service until the alarm was given in that first gallery ; and—what is perhaps more remark. able than all else—lthe very individuals who came by this violent end were precisely those nearest the place of exit, and who were the first to run for safety at the earliest manifestation of the panic. The man Samue Heard, the young woman named Johnson, liar riet Barlow, Mrs. Skepper, and probably Harriet Matthews also, all stood immediately within the door way leading on to the fatal staircase, and were, therefore, one would have thought, in the beat possible position for effecting a safe retreat. They were likewise the first to run. But, as the Event unhappily proved, it was far otherwise. They were all trodden to death on the stairs —even the strong man, Samuel Heard, of all men the most likely to be able to hold his own in a crowd. After the balustrade gave way to the pressure of the crowd there was an example of female heroism and the force of maternal love deserving a passing record. Susannah Heard, a young married woman, her husband, and their little boy, with many others, were jammed up on the stairs and unable to make any progress one way or the other. She stood nearest the balustrade, and to save her little boy from suffocation she held him a con siderable time over the hand-rail by the neck above the well of the stairs. At that time a man—probably Geo. Lane, now in Guy's Hospital with a comminuted frac ture of the right arm—was wedged so forcibly against an iron pillar which supported the stairs that she and her husband could distinctly hear the bones of his arm snap several times. When the balustrade gave way her husband put his arm round her and kept her from falling through the gap, she standing while he did so on only one leg, with the other banging over the edge of the stairs, and still holding her little boy over the gulf. By-and-by the pressure slackened, and she was relieved from this perilous position. The husband at this moment took hold of a woman standing near him in the crowd to prevent her from falling, and he found she was dead. It is remarkable, as showing how gregarious a crowd is, that though the means of exit from the building are so many, the greater part of the people in the first gal lery, where all the mischief was done, appear to have made for one door, there being at least three others equally convenient, and affording equal facilities o escape. The Hall on Tuesday remained as it appeared after he accident, with one exception--most of the articles of wearing apparel had been removed, but the broken glass and fractured portions of the staircase remained where they fell, in order that the coroner and jury might view the Hall, to satisfy their minds as to the exact cause of the numerous deaths. A further inspection by the officials of the company took place on Tuesday, several scientific gentlemen being present, but nothing transpired to alter the decision previously arrived at, that no cause for alarm existed before the cry of "Fire !" was raised. \Ve regret to state that the police authorities on Tues day received information of several other cases of persons being seriously if not fatally injured. In fact, the reporter was informed by Serjeant Coppin that another death had been reported to him. His statement is that a lady, the wife of a City tradesmen, residing in Fenchurch-street, was carried out of the dense crowd by some friends who had accompanied her to the gardens, and was placed by them in a cab. She was then insensible, and upon arriving at home, medical aid was obtained, but her in juries were so extensive that she expired on Tuesday morning. (James Clare, whose name has not until now transpired as a sufferer, lies at 17, Stamford-street, Blackfriars, with ribs broke n on both sides and also a broken collar bone. Superintende n t Lund also gave the reporter the parti culars of another very serious case. A lady, residing in the Dover road, had been in conversation with Mrs. Lund during the evening, and when the rush was made she was carried away with it, but Mrs. Lund maintained her position. The next that was seen of this poor woman was her lying on the floor, bleeding most profusely from the faoe. She was raised, and carried into Mr. Tyler's room, where it was found that, in addition to other in juries, the right cheek had been cut right through, the unfortunate individual having had her head thrust against the broken glass in one of the windows. One of the surgeons, who was rendering every assistance in his power, sewed up the wound as quickly as possible, and, having bound her head up in a towel, ordered her instant removal to the hospital or her own residence. Yester day she was still in a very precarious condition, the wound being of a fearful character. Another case reported to the police is rather singular. Mrs. Kelly, a nurse at Guy's Hospital, was seriously injured in the confusion. No one present could identify her, but when sbe was conveyed with the other sufferers to Guy's Hospital she was soon recognised as a nurse connected with that institution. The mystery surrounding the little girl in Guy's Hos pital has been cleared up. Her name is Keeton, and Nhe is the niece of the unfortunate Mrs. Mead, whose name appeared amongst the killed. The deceased took the child to the hall, and in the rush they got separated, and while the chill escaped with her life her protector perished. The child is not likely to die. She has sus tained only a slight scalp wound, hut suffers considerably from being so frightened. The death of her friend some what explains why she was not inquired for immediately after the accident became known. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)
