South England. West to north-west, moderate. METEOROLOGIC .L REPORTS. The progress of business during the past week in the manufacturing districts has,, with one or two exceptions, been satisfactory. At Manchester the operations in both cloths and yarns have been re stricted, owing to the unfavourable state of the Cotton Market at Liverpool, but at Leeds, Hud dersfield, and Bradford the dealings have been to a moderate extent in seasonable goods, chiefly, how ever, for home requirements. The hosiery trade of Leceister has been steady, while the operations in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Shef field, and Wolverhampton, have been to an average extent, without producing any material change in prices. A fair amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices were well supported. 'Dip sales were 10,000 bales. A large supply of gold, viz., £192,000, was pur chased by the Bank of England authorities on Saturday. The steamer which left to-day for the Brazils took out £2,122 in gold, and £9,000 in silver. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues very moderate, owing to the quietness of trade in the metropolis and throughout the manu facturing districts, where the " short-time" system has now become general. For other purposes the demand is also too limited to create animation in monetary circles, and as the flow of gold into the Bank of England is still very active, increased faci lities, it is thought, will be speedily afforded the mercantile community. In the Stock Exchange the available supplies are exceedingly abundant, and loans on Government Securities are negotiable at merely nominal rates. There his not been much activity in the Eng lish Stock Market to-day, but continued buoyancy has been apparent, Consols having risen 7 1,- per cent., viz., to 931 for transfer, and to 931 for the account. The settlement, however, is the chief business attended to. The New Threes are firm at 91;1- II; the Reduced steady at 91- a; India 5 per Cent.

The dealings in Foreign Securities have been rather more active, and prices show increased firm ness.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and a slight advance has taken place in prices. Great Western and North British have improved ss. ; and Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and Midland, 10s. ; Brighton and North Eastern (Berwick) declined 55.; and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, 10s.

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—This asso ciation has now entered on its tenth year, and the anniver sary was celebrated on Saturday by a dinner at CI emorne Gardens of the entire establishment of the Central Offices, No. 33, Norfolk-street, Strand. The secretarial, legal, surveying, and financial departments were all represented. The chair was taken by C. L. Gruneisen, Esq., who, in proposing " Prosperity to the Society," cited the following facts as demonstrative of the social and commercial advan tages which the society had offered to all classes of the community. Forty-seven estates had been purchased in seventeen counties, securing for the purchasers of the land the freehold franchise, combined with a secure and profitable investment. Through the instrumen tality of the society thousands of persons in every grade of life had been enabled to obtain electoral privileges which otherwise they were not in possession of. Finan coif ga a l lly the soc i ety h a d ensured great facilities in the deposit and small sums o f money ; a goo d rate o f i nterest, varying,ar of course, according to the amount of business transacted by th e society, was paid both to shareholders and depositors. The same facility which enabled a shareholder with or depositor t o w - e draw his investment with prompti tude was also observable in the transfer of land,vast saving of expen se, the result of the society's a system. Up to the 7th of Se vternbertot fi e nn h iversary of the formation of the society in 1852, th e receipts had amounted to E 540,9 29 25., and the sale of la aa n had reached the large su m of . 2 , 74 ? 8 d 25 us g e same period b . e number of shares issued to the same date was 17;e0a3rgs; increasing, in vest ments took place every year in the department. k. Considerable capital had also been appropriated t advances to the holders of plots on the society's enstmata builders and to others, for the erection of villa s and houses. Every Every precaution had also been taken for the improvement of the properties which fell into the society's hands, covenants being introduced for mutual protection, so that a neighbour hood would be improved and not deteriorated. Thus th e society had afforded inestimable advantages to investors and persons desirous of living in their own freehold houses, an d the hardest working man, with the smallest income, h a d equal prospects -..f improving his condition with the larg es t investor. THE GREAT EASTERN.—In consequence of the New Y or k an d Phi ladelphia Steamship C ompan y requiring Captain Kennedy to resume his duties in tho Etna, the di rectors of the G rea t Shi p C ompany have appo i n t e d Captain James Walker to the command of the Great Eastern. Cap tain Walker is well known in the Transatlantic trade, having been nine years in the Cunard line, and subse quently in command of the Prince Albert and Adriatic, be tween Galway and New York, in the latter of which his Passages were shorter than any previously made by that skip. We therefore congratulate the company upon obtain ing the services of so able and popular a commander. VIARE ALARKET.-(7711 - 8 DAY). ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. ! Closing Business Share' Railways.

NO, - - THIS DA ' • ARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were very firm for wheat, and prices advanced quite is to 2s per qr. The demand for barley, oats, beans, and peas was by no means active ; nevertheless their value was fully supported. Flour realised enhanced rates. On the continent fine wheat has changed hands on higher terms, and other articles have ruled firm in price. The latest advicos from New York state that a good business was doing for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received' 15,004 quarters of wheat, 4,640 of barley, 29,672 oats, 1,800 beans, 31 peas, 275 tares, 6,032 linseed, 4,948 rapeseed, 3,340 sacks and 18,668 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were much restricted; but the qua lity of the samples was fine. For both ied and white de scriptions there was an active demand, and prices, com pared with Monday last, further advanced is to 2s per quarter. The greater portion of the supply was taken for home consumption. Several samples of Essex wheat, which were held at exorbitantly high prices, were left un sold at the close, The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. A steady business was doing on French account, and im porters were firm in their demands. The quotations may be considered is per quarter higher than on this day se'n night. Floating cargoes of grain were in good request, and prices had an upward tendency. With all kinds of barley we were very moderately sup plied, and the trade ruled firm, at extreme rates. Malt changed hands slowly, yet no change took place in its value. Good and fine oats moved off steadily; inferior kinds slowly, at last Monday's currency. A few samples of new peas were on offer, which were disposed of at full prices. For beans the trade was firm, at quite previous quota tions ; new foreign were worth 40s, and new Mazagan 36s per quarter. The flour trade was firm, and prices were fully supported.

With home-fed beasts we were seasonably well supplied, both as to number and quality, and the show of Irish stock was large. All prime breeds commanded a steady sale at full currencies ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The general top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs. _ The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 3,000 short-horns, &c, ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 40 Scots ; and from Ireland, 570 oxen and heifers. There was a moderate supply of sheep on offer, in for the most part middling condition. On the whole, the mutton trade was firm at very full prices, a few superior half-breds having realised 5s 4d per 81bs. Some small lambs changed hands steadily at from 5s 8d to 6s per Sibs. Inferior lambs were a dull inquiry tit barely late rates. The lamb season is now closing. The veal trade was much less active than on Thursday, and prices gave way 4d per Sibs. The top figure was 4s 8d per 81bs. The supply of calves was good. Pigs were a slow sale, yet prices were well supported. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS. —William Price James and Alexander Davidson, two very respectable lads and both apprentices to an engineer, were charged before Mr. Beadon with attempting to pick pockets in Piccadilly. _ Gordon, 336 A, said—At a quarter to eight on Saturday night, as a rifle corps was passing through Piccadilly, I saw the prisoners in company with another lad, who I knew as a thief, of the name of Ricketts. I watched them and saw them get behind thr©o gentlemen, and saw Ricketts take up the tail of one of the gentlemen's pcekets with his right hand and insert his left hand. I afterwards saw James make a snatch at a gentleman's watch. They then left and went to St. James's Church, in front of which there is a boarding, and I there saw James put his hand into a gentleman's pocket, and the gentleman struck the lads right and left with his cane. I tried to seize the prisoners, but they ran under the railing, and got among the crowd. I called " Stop thief," and caught James, who said he was only larking, and Davidson was taken by 79 C. On James I found a cigar-case and some cigars, and 2s. on Davidson. Mr. Beadon—Nothing suspicious ? Gordon—No; I cannot say James had his hand on the gentleman's chain or not. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, put several questions to the constable for the prisoners, in an swer to one of which, he said that James got his hand so entangled in the gentleman's pocket that he could hardly get it out. Mr. Beadon—Then why did you not seize him then ? Gordon—Because of the people. Mr. Beadon—Surely if you saw the gentleman striking the lad you could have then taken him and asked the gen tleman to assist you. Gordon—l went to the residence of the lads' parents and found them respectable people. The gentleman did not go to the station. I knew Ricketts as a thief, and he ran down Church-passage. Mr. Beaden—Why, as you knew him t) be a thief, did you not go after him ? You could have taken him there. You say the parents are respectable. Gordon—They are, your worship, and the prisoners are not known to the police. I told James three weeks ago he was in the company of a thief. Mr. Beadon—You said nothing was known of them, and then you tell me you had cautioned one of them. Why do you wish to prejudice the case? I shall discharge them after this, but they had better be careful. Mr. Lewis—l hope your worship will not adhere to that remark. They are highly respectable lads, as I can show. The officer must have made a mistake, as they tell me they never saw the officer before. Mr. Beadon—l only say to them what I would say to any other respectable lads—to be careful of the company they keep. THIS DAY'S SKIPPING.

TRIPLE BIRTH.—A few days since the wife of a labouring man at the village of Streatly, near Reading, named Charles Smith, gave birth to three fine boys, all of whom, with the mother, are doing well. ANOTHER DEATH FROM CHLOROFORM.—On Fri day afternoon last an inquest was held at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle, before Mr. Carrick, the county coroner, and a respectable jury, upon the body of a young man named Carruthers, who died in that institution on Thursday after noon from the effects of chloroform, under the following circumstances :—The young man had been a patient in the institution for about a fortnight, and it was found necessary to perform some surgical operation upon him. It was de cided, with his ready consent, that it should be performed while he was under the in fluence of chloroform. The chloroform was administered by the house surgeon, Mr. Devereux, in the presence of Mr. Page, the visiting sur geon. The patient was soon in a state of unconsciousness, and the operation was about to be performed, when alarm ing symptoms manifested themselves. The patient ceased to breathe, and animation seemed to be suspended. The surgeons took immediate steps to endeavour to revive him. Galvanism, and artificial inflation of the lungs were in turn resorted to, but they both failed to bring the patient round. It was now evident that he was quite dead. Evidence hav ing been given by the house surgeon and Mr. Page as to the circumstances under which the unfortunate young man died, the jury returned averelict that he died from the effects of chloroform, and that no blame was attached to the me dical officers. Although chloroform is much used in the infirmary, this is the first case in which its use has been at tended with any serious results. MEXICO.—The indignities and injuries inflicted or. British and French interests in Mexico have bean again brought prominently before the public, and it is quite im possible that either the Government of the Emperor or that of the Queen can any longer avoid taking action in reference to this gigantic nuisance, for such it has become. We have little doubt that a combined Anglo-French naval and mili tary expedition will be organised to bring matters to rights, and England might probably be expected to contribute a brigade to the land portion of the force.—zirmy and Navy Gazette. The speech of M. de Schmerling to the Chamber of Deputies of Vienna, on the subject of the disso lution of the Diet of Hungary, is the subject of very diversified comments in the journals on the other side of the Rhine, which agree in admitting the clearness of the explanations given by the Minister. The journals of the North, which are devoted to the idea of German unity, insist on the suc cess of the Austrian statesman and the defeat of Federalist opinions. In Hungary, as may be readily comprehended, the view taken of it is not the same, and the language of the Pesth journals regards the new state of Wails created by the dissolution in a different light. The tranquillity of the country, however, continues ; the Government has had re placed on the public buildings the eagles which had been removed, and the functionaries have received orders to lay aside the Hungarian costume, and re sume the Austrian uniform. A private despatch from Vienna states that the Cardinal Archbishop of Gran defends the resolutions of the Diet of Hun gary, and has declared himself against the dissolu tion. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT KEN TISH TOWN. CORONER'S INQUIRY.-(THIS DAY.) The inquiry w s resumed this morning before Mr. Humphrey. Mr. P -rke said a lady was on the Kentish-town platform when the signals were up, and as the man was unable to find her, he hoped the press would mention the fact, as she might then come forward. The Coroner said he did not intend to go to the Univer sity Hospital to view the body of the unfortunate person, Rushbrooke, who had died since they last met, as it would be uncertain whether they would not have to go again to morrow. Therefore he should proceed with the examina tion of witnesses in the cases they had already opened. He might also state that he had received intelligence that a man, woman, and child had been seen to get into the excur sion train at Kew, who have not since been heard of. If such a statement was made public it might lead to the clearing up of the circumstance. Mr. Metcalfe said there appeared to be somo sort of im pression about that some juggle was to be attempted in order to avoid the responsibility of the line. He was there on the port of the North..lVestern, the North London, and the North and South Western Junction, and there would be no attempt on the part of those companies to avoid any claims that might arise. The following evidence was then taken : Mr. Charles Fleke, gentleman--I live in Acacia-road. I was a passenger in the train from the Hampstead-road to Kentish-town on the evening of the accident by the or dinary train. I arrived at the Kentish-town station about four minutes past 7. I did not remain on the platform. There appeared a great desire to get the passengers out of the station at that time, in order to allow it to go on, so much :so, that he had great difficulty in getting a lady out without accident. The train was not indecently crowded. After arriving at the station I went down stairs, and when in Gordon House-lane I heard a single scream from an engine which came down to the coal sta tion, and I saw it attached closely to about 20 trucks. I was so struck at what was going on at the coal station as to mention the circumstance to some friends that were with me. I said, " This is an act of madness." A Juror—But the engine was on the siding. Witness—Yes. When I got to tho end of Gordon House-lane, I heard that the accident I had anticipated had occurred. Coroner—Did you notice the signals ? Witness—No. Mr. Parke (solicitor for the signal-man at Kentish. town) —May I ask if you are in any way engaged in the theatri cal profession, as your imagination appears so fertile ? Witness—No; and I consider your question very im pertinent. _ _ . The Rev. Mr. Allen, of St. Thomas's Church, Islington, said-1 was a passenger in the excursion train, with an or dinary ticket. I came from Kew. I noticed two or three violent jerks both going and coming, but I thought that might be from crossing the points. I did not see the sig nals at Kentish-town. We came through the tunnel at Finchley-road at very great speed. I shortly after felt a violent wrench, some crashes, and then the fourth carriage, in which I was, I found was suspended over the brickwork. With the aid of a young friend I climbed up to the window, but could see nothing for some time for the steam that was escaping. The Coroner—Can you tell us anything as to how the accident occurred ? Witness —No. I did not think my evidence would be of any importance, but I thought it my duty to attend and state what I knew. By a Juror —I did not hear the train whistle. By Mr. Lewis—l did not notice the signals. Mr. George Morse—l am station master at Kew. The ordinary train left at the usual time, 6.35. I started the excursion train just at the stroke of 7. It consisted of the engine and 12 carriages. Scott was the driver, Bolton fire man, and Bridges the guard. My instructions as to the excursion trains were sent to me in writing. ' I produce them. They stated, on the 2d of September special trains would leave Camden-town at uncertain times, but that the - first might be expected to start about 9 o'clock a.m., to return from Kew about 8 p.m. to 9.'0. I started the train from Kew at seven o'clock on account of the pressure of persons arriv ing at the station. There were three excursion parties that day. When I started the train in question I think I told the guard I was starting it earlier than my instructions, but I could not swear that. The Coroner—Did you telegraph to any of the up lines ? Witness—l have no telegraph. The Coroner—Did you communicate with the up lines ? "Witness—l have no communication. Examination continu ed—l knew•l Was perfectly safe as far as Willesden, but I know nothing of the line higher up. I have been in the employ of the company about eleven years. I have been four years at Kew. The next train I started was at 7.40. The next excursion train was started between 10.30 and 10.45. For that train a guard had brought down an engine and a number of empty carriages, and from him I heard of the accident. I did not take any means for securing the excursion train beyond the belief that I told the guard I was starting him earlier than tho instructions. By the Coroner—ls it usual for you to start trains con trary to your instructions ? Witness—That depends entirely on circumstances. The influx of the passengers on Sunday is very great, so I have to make arrangements to meat such emergencies. By Mr. Parke—l did not examine the break van before the train started. I don't think it would have taken more than three or four minutes to set down the passengers at Edgeware. I don't know what the ordinary speed of an ordinary train is, but I should think it is about 30 miles an hour. If the excursion train got from Kew to where the accident occurred in seven minutes, it would be very extra ordinary speed to travel. As a general rule Ido not place tailboards on special trains, but it was uncertain when I should have to start them. I did not notice whether the guard had persons in the break. Sometimes passengers are placed in the break. The guard might have had six or nine persons in the van, but he could not conveniently carry more. I have no telegraph at my station yet. I start trains at irregular times. By Mr. Lewis—l cleared out of my station by the 6.35 train. I then bad no intention of starting the excursion at 7. I do not give instructions as to the rate he is to travel, that is left to his discretion. A Juror—Did you see the guard when he left Kew? Witness—l did. Juror—Was he sober? Witness—Quite sober. By the Coroner—The first station the excursion would pass after leaving Kew would be Acton, next the Edgware road. Our line ends at the Willesden Junction. That is before you come to Edgware. I not only sent the train over our line without notice, but I sent it as far the Edgware-road, subject only to its being stopped at that station. There are signals at Willesden. By Mr. Metcalfe—lt is a set signal, one always set at danger. The guard has always to whistle it off before he is allowed to pass. Edward Puckil—l am porter at Euston-station. On the 2d Sept.ll was at the Hampstead station. The ordinary train from Kew (6.35) passed at a few minutes before seven. The excursion train, I think, came up about a quarter-past seven. I was on my road to light up the auxiliary up-signal lamp. She passed me as I was going up the bank. I had got very close to the signal post. She was going very fast—about 40 miles an hour. It was the first evening I had been on duty at that station, so I did not notice how the signals stood. I hal a lamp in my hand. It was not a signal lamp. I did not turn it facing the train. Of that lam certain. I lit the auxiliary signal lamp between Hampstead and Kentish Town, and then returned. I left the white light turned towards Hampstead. I did not notice what colour was to wards Kentish Town. I did not notice whether the danger arm was up. She did not whistle as she passed me. I did not notice whether the steam was off. I had nothing to do with the telegraph. By Mr. Parke—The night was not dark enough to allow my lamp to be taken for a signal lamp. By Mr. Lewis—l lit the lamp when Whiteman ordered. The train had passed when I had done so. I did not know anything about the excursion train arriving. I saw White man work the signal about an hour before the accident, but I don't know that I saw him do so afterwards. Juror—You say the train was going at 40 miles an hour. How do you judge the rate of speed ? Witness—l've drove horses. (Laughter.) Joseph Reid, in the employ of the North London Rail way Company—l am signalman at the points at the Kentish Town Junction. Our junction is between Kentish-town and the Camden-town station. I was on duty on the 2d of September in the evening. The ordinary 6.35 train from Kew passed me about 6 minutes past seven. She was some minutes late. She was telegraphed. I received the notice, and repeated the message, " Line clear" to Kentish town after she had passed. I received a telegram relative to the excursion train from Willesden. I did not notice the time. It is not my duty to book the times I receive tele grams. I repeated the message. I received the telegram relative to the special about a minute before the ordinary train passed. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

PAPER PROM WOOD.—It is said that a French lady has succeeded in manufacturing excellent paper from wood, and at a price much lower than that made from rags. Her method consists chiefly in the use of a new kind of machinery for reducing the wood to fine fibres, which are afterwards treated with the alkalis and acids necessary to reduce them to pulp, and the composition is finally bleached by the action of chlorine. It is the unanimous opinion of the engravers and lithographers who have used it that paper made according to this method, from wood, and which costs only 400 francs (£l6) per ton, is quite equal to the China paper, which costs 5,350 francs (L 214) per ton. It is confidently expected that experiments upon a larger scale will confirm the results already obtained.—Mechanice Magazine. As the three p.m. up train from Cork was ap proaching Balinmore Church, on Saturday, the driver of the engine observed a man crossing the rails, when he im mediately sounded the whistle, but the man was dea f and took no notice. The train could not be stopped tam li!ie passed over the poor fellow, severing the head ta body, and taking one leg ean off. THE IVEW CALCUTTA BUDGE?. (From tho Economist.) It is with pleasure that we observe that the In dian authorities, in Mr. Laing's absence, are relin quishing the most objectionable portions of his Policy. When Mr. Laing delivered his budget speech the License Bill proposed by Mr. Wilson was still passing through the Legislative Council ; and Mr.. Laing wished to delay it until he should be able to incorporate it in a new measure, which was like wise to supersede Mr. Wilson's income tax. Sir Bartle Frere now tells us, however, that the Go vernment is " pledged to the Income Tax Bill and the License Bill as they stand." He has, there fore, passed the License Bill, and is prepared to carry out the Income Tax Bill efficiently and with determination. IVe hope that these decla rations of policy will he adhered to consistently. If everything depended on Sir Bartle Frere him self, we should have great confidence in their being so. He has shown far greater financial intelligence than any other Indian statesman, and is likewise remarkable for that vigour and determination for which Anglo-Indian statesmen wed to he se cele brated. But these vicissitudes of financial policy are deeply to be lamented. We seem to have at Calcutta the defects of a despotism withont its con si3teney, and the vicissitudes of a free government without its intelligence. One circumstance, however, vices great confi dence in the permanence of the income tax. We believe that it will be necessary. The opium re venue, as we pointed out some weeks since, has fallen off rapidly : Mr. Laing estimated from opium.. £6,100,000 Sir Bartle Frere reduces it to .... 4,900,000 £1,200,000 Not only has the price fallen from 1,745 rupees a chest to 1,400 rupees, but the cost of production has augmented. The Government in this case does not levy a duty, but produces a commodity ; every in crease, therefore, on the necessary out goings diminishes the accruing revenue. It has been found necessary to augment the allowance to the ryots from four rupees to five rupees per seer, or 25 per cent. Some " items of expenditure were overlooked" by Mr. Laing amounting to £348,000. And alto gether the shadowy character of Calcutta figures, on which we have remarked so often, is again pressed on our attention. Mr. Laing, as our readers will remember, estimated that there would be a fair sur plus in the coming yeat ; Sir Bartle Frere estimates a deficit of a million and a half. Under these cir cumstances, it is not likely that the i ncome -t ax w ill be relinquished. As we have to place a permanent reliance upon the income tax, it is satisfactory to hear that its yield is likely to be much greater than Mr. Laing said that it would be. We observed at the time, that if the tax were vigorously and properly col lected, it must yield more. It was only in effec tive operation for six months, and even then we know that it was not collected with any vigour in very many parts of the country. In those six months it yielded upwards of £1,000,000. Mr. Laing's estimate of £1,250,000 for the whole year is therefore much under the mark. We hope the unfortuaate observations which have dropped from him may not have augmented the reluctance of cer tain officials to collect the tax, and thereby dimi nibhed its productiveness. MYSTERIOUS . MURDER NEAR GLASGOW. On Thursday evening last Mr. William Simpson, coalmaster, Larkhall, Lanarkshire, a young man of high respectability, and possessed of the most promising abilities, is supposed to have been murdered near the village of Motherwell. Mr. Simpson, it appears, had proceeded to Airdrie on Thursday, for the purpose of drawing some money from the bank, in order to pay his men at the col liery (which be does once a month), pay-day being Saturday. When he left Airdrie he had in his pos session £l3B in notes of the following banks : one £lOO-note of the National Bank, six Li-notes of ditto, one £2O-note of the Clydesdale Bank, two L. and two .E 1 notes of ditto, some silver, and a gold, watch. When Mr. Simpson had walked as fp: e as Motherwell, he went to Mr. Clark's Motherwell Inn, where he partook of a simple rtheshment. Rain having by this time begun to fall, he ordered a conveyance to take him home; but as the weather soon became fair he countermanded this order, and resolved to prosecute the remainder of his journey on foot. He accordingly left the inn wi, h that intention about half-past eight o'clock, and since then nothing has been seen of him. The road which he took was a narrow footpath on the bank of the Lesmahagow Branch Railway (a mineral line), and which is commonly used on the way to Larkhall. About half-past nine o'clock an engine man named Andrew Rankine, in passing up this footpath towards Motherwell, discovered about 200 yards from the village, the hat worn by Mr. Simp son. He also found a number of letters 'and a pocketbook lying about; and there have likewise been discovered several coins, amount ing in value to is., and some copper coins. Rankine immediately communicated with. the constable at Motherwell, who instantly despatched intelligence of the circumstance to head quarters at Hamilton. Mr. Dykes, Procurator Fiscal, Captain Mackay, chief constable, and Super intendent Dewar at once proceeded to the spot, where Superintendent Christison, of Wishaw, speedily arrived. The strictest investigation was immediately made, the line of railway was searched for some distance, as were also all the ditches in the neighbourhood, the old pits being also penetrated, but no trace whatever has been found of the body. A number of the county police and a good many colliers have aided in the search, bat their efforts have been unsuccessful. There remains, however, no doubt that a most foul murder has been com mitted. In the hat which was found there were two long irregular gashes, the one from seven to eight inches long, and the other from four to five inches ; still there was no appearance of blood about the hat. At the spot the ground was trampled apparently with many footsteps, and the silver and copper coins seemed as if they had been pressed to the ground by several feet. The ground altogether presented the appearance of a place where a struggle had taken place, but there is no evidence of any one having heard such a struggle. It is surmised that the body may have been thrown into the Clyde, and as a flood has since passed down the river, in consequence of the heavy rains, there is no saying where the body may be found, if it be found at all. Meantime the river is to be dragged, and the minutest search will continue to be made. The case, however, as yet seems likely to remain shrouded in the mystery in which it is at present enveloped. A. reward of £2OO has been offered for the apprehen sion of the murderer or murderers. Deceased was a young man of 23 or 24 years of age, and leaves a widow and child to mourn his untimely death. TILE CATASTROPHE ON THE HAMP STEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY. THREE PERSONS MISSING. Yesterday afternoon a singular circumstance transpired, which leads to the belief that there are c still uv e r o u t d h . e r During vict ims t whose heafternoon cas ss have th r e e not e respectable adbilse persons waited upon Mr. Murray, the coroner's if summoning officer, and inquiredhe had ascer tained, either amongst the dead or the wounded, if there were any persons of the n ame of Kent. H e replied ofsuch a that name as quite amongst certain th e that deceased,th ere as Were none all the bodies had been identified. They then informed him that they were relatives of a man named Kent, who resided at Bow, and wh o, together with his wife and ch ild , one of th em h ad seen get into the excursion train on Monday morning. They had a friend who had also seen them in Kew Gardens, but they . had never since b een h eard. The horrible possibility suggests itself, although it is scarcely feasible, whether, in the rush to pick up the shat tered fragments of carriages to make the bonfires, so as to afford light on t h e n i g h t o f M on d ay, t h e mutilated remains of these persons might not have been pl ace d w i th them on the burning piles. It is singular, however, to relate that a littl e child—a girl, some seven or eight months old—was found uninjured, and has not been owned; and we believe we are cor r e c t— a t l eas t rumour h as it so—in stat ing that the Rev. Mr. Calvert, of Kentish-town, has taken charge of it. SHOCKING COLLIERY ACCIDENT. ONE MAN KILLED AND THREE INJURED.—Yesterday morning an accident, attended with fatal results, took place at the Gidlow and Swinley Colliery, the property of John Cross, Esq.
