This event, which for some time past has attracted the attention of the sporting world, came off yesterdayat La Marche, attended with most favourable weather, and drew together a considerable number, in carriages filled with well-dressed ladies, sporting gentlemen on horse hack, and a great concourse of pedestrians. A few mi nutes before, the day's proceedings commenced her Ma jesty the Empress, who looked exceedingly well, arrived in a carriage and four, with out-riders, attended by her ladies in waiting and the principal officers of her house hold. Her Majesty, on proceeding to the imperial stand, was greeted enthusiastically by the assembled crowds. The principal event of the day was The Nautical Steeplechase for 5,000 E., the amount of a Handicap of 5,000 f. each, and 2,000 f. added by the proprietors of La Marche. Distance about 1,800 yards, the principal feature of which was to cross the river, upwards of 50 yards in extent. (Six entries.) Mr. Byrne's F.)rester 1 Mr. Flood's The Tout The start was made from the hill, Forester and The Tout taking the lead, followed by the ruck to the sheet of water. which the whole took in gallant style, accom• panied by tremendous shouts of app'ause at this " novel racing." After sundry attempts to shake off their jockeys and enjoy a bath, the horses arrived at the opposite bank, but had some difficulty in getting once more on terra firma. Forester was the first to emerge, followed by The Tout ; the two continued their course to the winning stand, where Forester was hailed the victor with much applause. The rest dropped in in a dripping state one by one, but od course beyond the "ducking," nothing like racing was expected. At the weighing post the jockey of Forester coolly took his seat to be weighed as if he had ridden an ordinary course, when a general laugh occurred, and the weighing of the jockeys was taken as au fait accompli.—Galignani of yesterday. AQUATICS. GRAVESEND AND MILTON REGATTA. A very excellent regatta took place yesterday at Graves end, which it may readily be conceived, at such a crowded summer resort, was at the present period of the season very largely attended. The town and terrace piers were crowded with spectators, and the water was covered with pleasure-boats. The weather was very favourable for such sport up to half-past seven, when Gravesend was visited with a severe thunderstorm, which soon dispersed the visitors, and cleared the river of boats. The regatta was under the patronage of the Earl of Darnley, the mayor of the town, and other persons of consideration, and the prizes were very liberal. The sport commenced at about 11 in the morning with a scullers' race amongst free watermen for a new boat and various other prizes ; the second man having 51., the third 3/. 103., the fourth 31., the fifth 2/. 10s., and the sixth 21. There were six competitors in five heats. First heat. ds at Fontley, Fareham, and Gosport, valued, with td e stock and good-will of a lucrative trade, at 39,0001., ;era handed over to the son of a public defaulter in ' ,hat Treasurer's-office." Henry Corby Gree❑ 1 No account of these proceedings against Cort was ever clstained either before his death in 1800 or afterwards. Two or three years elapsed from the time that Henry Cort had disypeared from the scene, and Parliament appointed a Commission of Naval Inquiry to examine into the charges against the financial department of the navy. It appears, then, that the Treasurer and his con fidential deputy a few weeks before the sitting of the Commission indemnified each other by a juint release, and agreed to burn their accounts for something ap proaching a million and a half of the public money which had passed through their hands. In this general confla gration all the evidence by which Henry Cort's case could have been established perished, and the culprits refused to answer any questions which would have cri minated themselves. As far as we can make out the 'story, Henry Cort was involved in the ruin of a public defaulter with whose crimes he was not in any degree concerned. He, as the only solvent person connected with any transactions in which this person was involved, was made to pay to the extent of his last shilling. It is probable, indeed, that from his royalties, and receipts under his patents, Cort or his representatives could have satisfied all claims. Time, however, was denied him, and the simpler plan adopted of ruining him and his descendants outright, ai)d at once. The influence of the culprits and the exigencies of political life forbade all hope of raising the question in Parliament at any subse• quent period. Such is a brief outline of this remarkable case, and thus much we will venture to say :—lf the statements of Henry Cort's son turn out on in vestigation to be true, he and his sisters are well entitled to some mark of the public gratitude. We can not pretend to encumber our columns with the calcula tions which are inserted in the petition as to the amount to which the national wealth has been increased by Con's processes in the manufacture of iron. Let any one think of our iron fleet, iron gun-boats, iron mercan tile marine, iron railways, iron engines, iron cotton mills, iron suspension and tubular bridges, iron batteries, iron palaces, &c., and then ask himself what should be the measure of public gratitude to the descendants of a man who endowed his country with such an amount of wealth and power. While others have, upon the strength of Henry Cort's discoveries, been raised to the position of millionnaires, his children are almost starving. We should be ashamed for the honour of England to men tion the amount of the pension which has been conceded to them by the Crown and Parliament. It is about equal in amount to the wages of a domestic servant of the humblest description, and even this has been made subject to deductions. For the sake of our national credit, it behoves all persons of influence in the country to give the case of Henry Cort's children their immediate consideration. In bringing the subject under their no tice our duty is discharged.— Times. Haffell Coy Purple 0 Charles Brown Red 0 The heat extended the whole front of the town, twice round, finishing at the Town Pier. Green took the lead at starting, and kept it all the way. Purple and Red made a good race of it first time up and down, but after that Purple went away from the other. Second Heat. John Barker John Dixen William Hollingum Blue 0 A fine start was succeeded by an extraordinary race, in which they were all together up and down; after that Yellow drew in front, and kept it all the way, winning by two lengths. Third Heat. This consisted of the second and third man of the second heat, and second and third man of the first. Pur ple took the lead, and maintained it all the way, hard pressed by Palk. Won by two two boats' length. Fourth Heat. This was with the winner of the first heat and winner of the second with the two best of the third heat. It was a good rase—all off well together, but Green with a slight lead, Purple just up to him; and they came in : —Green, first; Purple, second. :Grand Heat. In starting Green took the lead, and maintained it all the way, winning easily. There were but two in the heat, consequently Purple was second. lle rowed very hard, but his opponent was much too good for him. MR. HF;NRY CURT, THE IRON quently was enabled to give a description of both the la Is to Deeble, a detective of the H division, who, after much inquiry, was enabled on Monday to obtain a clue to the hiding place of Arnold, and consequently repaired to a notorious lodging house at the rear of Shoreditch Church, where he demanded admission ; but it was an hour before the door was opened to him. After maki g a careful search through the sleeping apartments in vain, he was o❑ the point of leaving the premises when his attention was directed to a hatf•concealed closet. This he insisted on having opened, and found Arnold there concealed in an immense bundle of wet linen. The officer asked what he was, and he impudently replied, " Why, don't you see I—l'm a mummy ; I always sleep here." Bennett was taken at his father's lodging the same evening ; and the prosecutrix now identifying both the thieves, they were committed for trial at the Clerkenwell sessions. SOUTHWARK.—CharIes Thomson, a well-dressed young man, with large black moustachios, who stated that he was a native of Poughkeepsie, in the state of New York, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with uttering a forged 51. Bank of England note at the shop of Mr. Fillmer, pawnbroker, Old Kent-road. The note was shown to the magistrate. It appeared to have been printed from a coarse wood block. The female figure and the lettering were extremely coarse. The prisoner, who spoke in a strong German accent, said he had just come from New York, and he received the note there in change for American money. He had told Mr. liner's shoprnan he got it on the continent. A. gentleman connected with the Bank of England, who was in attendance, said he suspected that a large number of such notes were manufactured on the con- tinent, and extensively issued among the middle classes who were not well acquainted with tke genuine Bank of England note. However, it was folly to attempt to utter such a note in this country or to any foreign mer chant, as it was nothing like a Bank of England note. Mr. Combo said he understood that there were other parties to be brought up for passing forged notes on Wed nesday, therefore he should remand the prisoner until that day. LAMBETH.—Elizabeth, Wood, a middle•aged female, was charged with having intermarried with John Riley, her husband, John Wood, being still alive. John Riley, residing in Mill•street, Camberwell, said he was married to the prisoner on the 2d of June, at the parish chureh of St. Giles, Camber well. She was married as a single woman, in the name of Elizabeth Simmonds. Police constable A 464 said that the prisoner was given into his custody by Riley, who directed him to No. 26, Smyrk's-road, Old Kent-road, where he was informed she was living. She had gone back to her husband. He went there and took her into custody on a charge of bigamy. On her way there she admitted that she had been married to Riley. She said she was very foolish at the time r and did not know what she was doing. Inspector Morels, P division, stated that on the charge of bigamy being read over to her she observed that her husband, who was a sailor, had been abroad about a twelvemonth, and that she thought he was dead. She met Riley about the beginning of May in the Old Kent road, when be spoke to her. An acquaintance immedi• ately took place between them. The banns were put up directly, and they were married in less than three weeks afterwards. The inspector produced the certificates of both marriages, that of the first having been solemnised at the church of St. Mary, Newington, on the 14th of October, 1851. Mr. Elliott—ls there any proof that the husband is alive ? Inspector—He is here your worship. The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of the several attesting witnesses. THAMES.—Robert Buckle, a police constable, No. 44 H, who has been three years in the force, was charged with stealing a quartern of brandy, the property of the London Dock Company. It appeared that the prisoner was on Sunday stationed on duty on the south quay of the London Docks, where he was detected by Sergeant Egerton ailing a battle of brandy from one of the casks. He offered the sergeant some money to " look over " the offence. The prisoner said what the sergeant said was true ; he had no defence to make. Mr. Yardley—Do you wish me to decide this The prisoner—Yes, sir, by all means. Mr. Yardley—Then I sentence you to one mouth's ,inprisonment and bard labour. MANUFACTURER. It is somewhat a departure from our usual course to make the leading columns of this journal the medium for laying before the British public the claims and griev exces of individuals. To persons in the situation sug gested the deors of our law-courts are open ; there is the remedy to petition Parliament ; finally, there is the public press. The conductors of any res?ectable journal are at all times ready to give insertion in the-form of a letter to any well-authenticated complaint ; indeed, no inconsiderable share of our own daily labour consists in considering and disposing of applications of this descrip tion. When an aggrieved person is admitted to make his own story known in this firm, of course he, and be alone, is held answerable for the substantial truth of his statement. It is quite another matter when a case is "taken up," as the ordinary phrase runs, in the leading columns of a public journal, for such a step would no doubt imply, without special notice to the contrary, that the facts had been carefully investigated, the alleged grievances duly considered, and that the credit and cha racter of the journal were to a certain extent involved io the truth of the story. Now with reference to the case which we are about to bring under the notice of our rea ders, and which is the subject of an advertisement in our columns to-day, we would begin by disclaincing the faintest shadow of responsibility. We have not investi gated the truth of the allegations to which we are about to advert; nor, indeed, as they refer to scientific mat ters, end to secret passages of the scandalous history of England sixty years ago, do we esteem ourselves com petent to conduct an inquiry of that description. We wish merely that others should know, as we know, the story of Henry Curt, the father of the British iron trade —that is, that they should cast a glance over this brief abstract of a petition which his destitute family have presented to the House of Commons. This petition has been forwarded to us, and the allegations it contains are so completely of a national character, that, for once, we violate a general and necessary rule, and have deter mined to give them all the publicity in our power. Time was, some seventy years ago, that England was dependent upon Sweden and Russia for her supply of wrought iron. Henry .Cort, of Gosport, in the county of Southampton, an iron manufacturer, invented, and secured by patent, in the years 1783.1784, two procesies which relieved us from this commercial servitude, and liberated for the use of the English manufacturer the supplies of iron which are stored up so profusely under the surface of these islands. " The first process effected the cheap manufacture of wrought iron by the flame of pit coal in the puddling furnace ; the second process, which was rolling this cheap wrought iron through GROOVED ROLLERS, enabled the manufacturer to produce twenty tons of bar iron in the same time and with the same labour previously required to manipulate one ton of inferior quality by the tedious operation of forging under the hammer." This allegation is given in the words of the petition. Before the year 1785, when iron was, comparatively speak ing, but slightly used for commercial, maritime, or social purposes, we paid annually to Sweden something like 1,500,00/. for wrought iron. Then came the war, came commercial embarrassments, depreciated paper, foreign prohibitions, and an overpowering and increasing de mand for more and more iron. The inventions of Henry Cort carried us easily through this period of sharp trial, and, as his descendants allege, were the principal cause of our succese. It would indeed be impossible to exag gerate the advantages resultinz from an unlimited sup ply of " the precious metal." The only points for con sideration in this case are whether, first, to Henry Curt, and to biro alone, the credit is due of enabling us to draw bills upon Vulcan at sight ; and secondly, whether he did not obtain all the remuneration to which he was fairly entitled by Teceipts from his patents, and so forth. Now, upon the first point, we are bound to declare that Mr. Cort's son has succeeded in obtaining the signatures of the most eminent engineers and ironmasters in Eng land to the petition in which he sets forth his father's claims to be considered as the exclusive author of the improvements in the manufacture of iron, The point is oce upon which hostile criticism is very desirable, but until such very powerful attestation as we see incorpo rated in this petition is disproved, the re i s no d oubt a very violent presumption that Henry Cort, of Gosport, is entitled to be considered as the Tubal Cain of our century and of our country. The history of Henry Cort's ruin we cannot altogether disentangle form the allega tions of the petition. The most condensed account of it is to be found in the 58th paragraph, page 19, of the petition : " That for these unparalleled services Henry Cort derived no remuneration. He expended a private for tune exceeding 20,0001. in bringing his patent processes to complete perfection. When that was achieved, and the leading iron-masters of the kingdom had, as related, signed contracts to pay him 10s. per ton for their use, his patents were seized by a high officer of the Crown, holding the responsible and lucrative posts of Treasurer obtained taitheeeNdahvy h Navy the e d Secretary at War , and under an extent a perjury of a confidential deputy his frees rI3.E SUN, LONDON, PrESDA t VEk .r4tit UL , 1856.

Carden with begging. Mr. J. Grieve, clerk to a mercantile firm in St. Paul's Churchyard, stated—On Saturday afternoon 1 was stand ing at the door of my employer's premises when the pri soner approached me, and, after apologising for speak ing to me, said she was in very great distress, having only a short time before come from Penzance in search of a situation ; that she had been unsuccessful in obtain ing one, and all her means of subsistence were exhaust ed ; that for the last three nights she had had to walk the streets for want of money to procure a lodging, and that she had scarcely anything to eat for several days. She also said that if she did not shortly obtain relief she was fearful that she might be induced to take away her own life. I told her that any assistance I could render her must necessarily be of a temporary charabter, and recommended her to apply to the parochial authorities without delay. She replied that in that case she would be compelled to go to the workhouse, which would be most distasteful to her as she bad been well brought up, and that it would break her heart. She added that whilst walking the streets at night great insult and indignity had been offered by the opposite sex, which had particu larly distressed her mind, and wounded her feelings. I was so moved by her story and the apparently truthful manner in which it was told that I gave her a shilling. As she was leaving me a clerk in our establishment came up and asked me if I had relieved her, and on my reply. ing that LI had, he said the prisoner was an impostor, and that a short time previously she had obtained 6d, from him by narrating a similar tale of poverty and misery, Upon this I caused her to be taken into cus tody. She also told me that on the previous Sunda2, she bad attended Divine service three times. Mr. W. Barrett said that the prisoner came to him at the warehouse some weeks before, and told him the same story. It was stated that the prisoner had called upon a good many people, and made similar representations. She had also applied at this court two or three months ago, stating that she bad just come from Cornwall, and was in a destitute state. Sir R. W. Carden said he had no doubt she had been imposing on people for years. He should commit her to prison for a month, with bard labour. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. John Charles German, a horsehair weaver and sieve manufacturer, formerly of Old Ford, but at present carrying on business in York street, Bethnal-green, was charged with having grossly neglected and ill-treated five young girls, his apprentices, whose ages varied from 14 to 17 years. Mr. James, clerk to the board of guardians of the Holborn Union, attended to watch the case on behalf of the complainants, who bad been apprenticed to the defendant by the authorities of that parish. Mr. C. Christie, the relieving officer of the Bethnal green Union, stated that he proceeded, about tea days since, to the defendant's premises, which consisted only of three wretohedly-furnished rooms for the general ac commodation of himself and his wife, a female lodger, and the five apprentices. The defendant and his wife were both intoxicated at the time of his arrival ; but having ascertained that he would find the apprentices at the top of the house, he made his way to a small attic, which they used in common as their workshop and sleep ing and sitting apartment. There were two beds in the room, the coverings of which we-e begrimed with dirt, but scarcely any other furniture, and the whole place presented an appearance of squalid destitution. On ques tioning the poor girls with regard to their miserable personal appearance, they informed him that they had been compelled to part with the rest of their clothing to procure food, with which their master bad refused to provide them. Having elicited from them, atter some further conversation, that they had been shamefully neg lected and illtreated in other particulars, he felt it his duty to undertake their temporary charge, and trans ferred them to the workhouse. Bridget Dacey, the eldest of the complainants, stated that some years since she was apprenticed from Holborn Uuion to the defendant, who had subjected her to very harsh treatment, having occasionally beaten her with a le ►thorn strap, and that both her master and mistress were habitual drunkards. Witness and the other ap prentices were generally compelled to provide themselves with food and clothing, although their average earnings amounted to 3s. a week, in consequence of their mas ter's neglect in supplying them with the necessary ma terials for their work. The bedding accommodation was of the worst description, as they had slept without sheets for nearly two years, during which period the blankets had not once been washed. She ha,.11 , d a miserable life from the commencement of her apprentice ship, and she hoped the magistrates would cancel the indentures. _ _ In answer to the charge, the defendant said that he had recently fallen into adverse circumstances, which precluded him from discharging his duties towards his apprentices to the extent he had originally intended, but that he bad studied their comforts as far as his means allowed, and should he able to prove that the account they had given as to their alleged grievances was greatly exaggerated. Mary Anne Williams, who described herself as a married woman, was then called, and stated that she was a lodgerjin the florists, and she had never seen any thing in the conduct of the defendant towards his ap prentices which at all justified the present complaint. She had been given to understand that the defendant had engages to supply them with food, on the condition that they paid him Bd. a day out of their earnings, fail ing which they were expected to provide their own maintenance. She considered it to be their own fault if they wanted proper necessaries, as they were capable of earning about 101. a day. On being closely pressed by the magistrate, the wit ness stated that the bedding certainly was rather defec tive, and that the apprentices sometimes remained with out food from their early breakfast hour until six or seven in the evening. She aloe admitted that the defen dant aad his wife " took a drop sometimes," but that the lady, in that respect, was worse than her husband. It was only at intervals that witness lodged in the house, on which occasions she was in t'll3 habit of sleeping at the foot of the bed occupied by the defendant and his wife. In reply to a question from the magistrate, it was inti mated by Mr. James, from the Holborn Union, that the defendant had received a premium of 51. with each of the girls, who had been severally apprenticed to him at various times within the last five years, but as ho had manifestly failed to fulfil the conditions of his engage. ment, it was obviously desirable that the indentures should be at once cancelled. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that abundant evidence had been placed before him to show that the defendant bad been so scandalously wanting in his duty towards the unfor tunate children who had been placed under his care, that ho considered there was almost sufficient to justify his prosecution by indictment, and he should not only order the indentures to be cancelled, but reqtfre him to refund a portion of the premium amounting to 2/. in each of the cases which had been brought under his notice. With regard to the case of the fifth girl, who was not in at tendance, he should suspend the summons for investi gation on a future day. Tlumas Bennett and Henry Arnold, two youths, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with stealing a gold watch and medal from the person of a young lady named Davis, the wife of a commercial traveller, residing in Vaughan-terrace, City-road. The offence was committed on the 10th inst., while the complainant and a child were passing a somewhat secluded spot near Hackney. It was broad daylight, and the two prisoners, who had been gambling with several others within a few yards of the spot, walked directly in front of her. Bennett snatched the gold cbain, to which the watch and medal were attached, with such violence that it broke, letting the valuables fall to the ground ; he ran off with the medal, while Arnold threw the lady on her face as she stooped to recover the watch, and then followed his accom plice. Mrs. Davie fainted on the spot, but oboe THE LATE FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT IN GLAMORGANSHIRE. PONTYPRIDD, MONDAY, JULY 25. The inquest upon the bodies of the persons killed in the recent explosion at the colliery of Messrs. Insole and Co., at Cymmer, commenced this morsiog before Mr. Overton, the coroner for the Merthyr Tydvil district. The greatest interest was excited in the inquiry. A more disastrous explosion had never before occurred in the district, and the streets of Pontypridd, which is a few mites from the Cymmer colliery, were crowded with col liers anxious to be present at the inquest. Mr. T. Evans, the local inspector of mines, was pre sent during the proceedings, as also were Mr. Mackworth the late local inspector, and Mr. Dickenson, who were sent down specially by the Government ; Mr. Huddle stone, of the Oxford Circuit, attended on the part of the owners and managers of the Cymmer colliery ; and Mr. J. G. Owen, of Newport, attended on behalf of the sur viving c )lliers and the friends of the deceased. The inquest was held at the Butchers' Arms, the prin• cipal inn in the town, but as there was no room in the inn sufficiently large to accommodate the jury a shed was erected in the yard. The portion devoted to the public was crowded in every part immediately the pro ceedings were opened, and every available spot from which the proceedings could be viewed was speedily oc cupied. The jury having been sworn, The Coroner addressed them at some length, calling attention to the nature of the accident, and stating that at his request the Government had sent down Mr. Boder, a legal gentleman, to watch the proceedings, and act in conjunction with the Government inspectors. The recent explosion had been the most disastrous which had ever occurred in Smith Wales, or indeed in the whole of the kingdom. There had been numerous colliery accidents in the district in former times, but on no occasion had there been so large a sacrifice of human life. He entreated the jury to discard from their minds any rumours which they might have heard out of doors. The investigation would be of the most searching character, and all the evidence that could be brought upon the case, whether scientific or otherwise, would be laid before them. If they found that the explosion arose from the culpable carelessness or negligence of the persons in charge of the mine, or in consequence of a breach in the act for regulating collieries, it would be their duty to re turn such a verdict as would insure a further inquiry in another court. It was unfortunately the case that in some mines important rules for securing the safety of the men had been neglected, and since the act came into operation all the accidents which had occurred in this district had occurred in those collieries in which the rules were lax and in which the ventilation had nit been pro perly attended to. Mr. J. IL Insole, the chief proprietor of the Cymmer Collieries, was first called to prove the ownership of the mine in which the accident occurred. The collieries con sisted of two pits, called the old and new, in the former of which the explosion took place on July 15. He pro duced the rules by which the pits were regulated. They wire printed in Welch and English, and he had received the usual letter from Vie Government approving them. Personally lie took no part in the management of the colliery, but lie had given direction, for placing a copy of the rules in the bands of every collier. The persons re sponsible for the management of the colliery were Mr. J. Thomas, the general manager ; Mr. E. Hay, colliery agent ; Mr. D. Gray, colliery agent from Feb. until within a few days of the accident ; It. Rowlands, over man ; and three firemen, rained W. Thomas, M. Row land, and D. Jones. Mr. J. Thomas was responsible ma nager as deSned by the act, and had the entire control of the colliery. Witness had no communication whatever with any of the other officers, but it was desirable to state that he had never curtailed or impeded the expen diture of money in order to secure the safety of the lives of the men. On the contrary, he had always expressed a readiness to adopt any suggestions calculated to attain that objecb. By Mr. 0 wen—ln 1854 witness discharged two firemen on the representations of -Mr. Thomas. The colliers struck in consequence, but the new firemen were not now in his employment. The strike lasted for 22 weeks and the law was brought upon the men for riot. The colliers generally expressed a want of oonfidence in the men, and stood out for the reappointment of the old men. Considerable responsibility attached to the office of firemen, it being their duty to see that the mine was properly ventilated. By Mr. Huddlestone—Mr. Jabez Thomas, the gene ral manager, is a roan of great experience. He hai been 26 years under my father and myself in the management of collieries, and I have the greatest confidence in him. He is not a partner. By Mr. Evans—l have received no communication from the inspector of the district as to the working of the mine. By Mr. Mackworth—A serious explosion occurred at the Middle Dufferin Colliery some years ago. I have no recollection of having received a letter from you, shortly after that accident, calling my attention to the necessity of guarding against the occurrence of such an accident in my collieries. I have also no recollection of having received a copy of the inspector's printed report upon the Middle Dufferin explosion. I have no remem brance of ever having received a letter from you in re ference to my collieries. I have been in the habit of visiting the mines occasionally, but I never saw any plan showing the manner in which I recommended the ventilation to be carried out. Mr. Hay was under ground manager in 1854 when an accident occurred. There were rules in existence at that time, but they were not distributed among the men as they are at present. Mr. Mackworth here said that be proposed to show by Mr. Insole that in the rules adopted at the Cymmer Collieries the provisions of the act of Parliament had not been carried out. Mr. Insole sent cl copy of a set of rules to the Home-office in November last, in which the regulations with regard to safety lamps were entirely omits ed. The Coroner said it was not necessary to enter into any negotiations that had taken pace with respect to the rules. The jury already had the fact before them that the rules had been approved by the Government. The proceedings were then adjourned for an hour. Mr. Andrew, the chairman of the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, and Sir J. M`Neill, F.R.S., the en gineer in chief, had an interview yesterday with Lord Clarendon at the Foreign Office, regarding the Euphrates Railway. A &Intl. Not :,ng. Boat. I Ens tri. *innJt litrnaing.
