MONEY 1)1211? - k.E7 41VD CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has been very little business transacted in the Foreign and Colo• nial Produce Markets. At the public sales of tea, however, rather more animation has prevailed, and the finer descriptions have realised fully late rates. Sugars were in limited request at about previous quotations. For coffee there was a moderate inquiry, and prices generally remain steady. In rice, spices, and saltpetre, the dealings have only been for im mediate requirements without any material change in values. The tallow market has been dull, and slightly, reduced rates have been current for pre sent delivery, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 59s 6d to 59s 9d, 59s 9d to 60s for March delivery, and 57s 6d for last three months. About £1,400,000 was paid yesterday in cash, stock, and Exchequer bills, to the credit of the Ac countant-General in Chancery at the Bank of Eng land, for deposits on account of the various rail ways, and the projects for which bills will be introduced to Parliament next session. There is a steady demand for money in the Dis count Market at previous rates ; but at the Stock Exchange loans rare in increased request, and the quotations range from 5 to 6 per cent. Increased animation prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were again a shade higher. The sales were 25,600 bales. About 60,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for transmission to America. The Bank of Belgium has advanced its rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent . To-day the final instalment of 10 per cent. is due on last Canadian 5 par Cent. Loan of £2,800,000. A call of £l2 per share, amounting to £840,000, 4s due to-day on the Royal Portuguese Railway, and of £l, or £46,154 on the London and Blackwall Railway, New Shares. The half-yearly meeting of the City Bank has been held this morning, when it was stated that the gross profits for the past six months amounted to £38,736 10s. 4d., of which it was agreed to appro priate £9,000 to the payment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, £24,548 to the liquidation of the current expenses, and a full allowance for bad and doubtful debts, £4,563 ss. for rebate on bills not yet due, leaving a balance of £625 5E 4d. to be carried to the credit of profit and loss account. The chairman, Sir K. W. Carden, stated that the loss incurred by the failure of Messrs. Streatfield, Laurence, and Co. amounted to £17,220, but it had been wholly written off, and the establishment was now in a very faysurable position and had gained great popularity with the general public. A meeting of the Commercial Bank of London has also taken place to-day. The available balance was £17,109 ; it was therefore resolved to pay a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent., free of income tax, leaving £4,592 for rebate on bills not yet due, and £517 for addition to the current half-year's Recount. The Market for Public Securities has been rather flatter to-day, the improving tendency noticed yes terday not having been maintained in the face of the continued flow of gold to America and the gene rally unfavourable position of monetary affairs. Consols are therefore rather lower, namely, 91.1 for money, and 91 92 for the account. The New Threes are flat at 911 4, the Reduced at 911 ; the New 21 per Cents. remain at 76 ; but Exchequer Bills have receded to Bs. to 7s. discount. India 5 per Cent. Loan is steady at 1009 8 ; but Bank Stock is heavy at 231. Very few dealings are recorded in Foreign Secu rities and prices show no change of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to 704 ; ditto, 1858, 86 to 561; and the 4 per Cents. are steady at 1011, ; Sardinian.at 824 ; Mexican at 219; and Brazilian 4} per Cents. at 851. ■ In the Railway Share Market the chief busi ness transacted has been in connection with the half -monthly settlement ; little variation of im portance has taken place in prices, but in some instances there is a slight improveulout. Lanca shire and Yorkshire, North-Western, North British, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South- Eastern have advanced ss. ; and Caledonian, and Bristol and Exeter, 10s. ; Great Western have de clined 58. ; and Midlands, 108. No buiiness of importance was entered into in the Foreign and Colonial undertakings. Great Luxemburg realised 61 ; Antwerp and Rotterdam, 51 ; East Indian are steady at 98. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continued very inactive, without any material change in values. Bank of New South Wales have improved ss. ; London Chartered of Australia ss. ; Crystal Palace Stock remained steady at 30. Bank Stock BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. 231 3 per Cent.

The old man is now better. The ma gistrates' court was well attended during the day by a large number of the respectable inhabitants of the neigh bourhood, by whom the aged pair were much esteemed. The woman Harriett Francis, at whose house the fellows stayed on the night after the murder, and with whom it seems some of the stolen property had been left, was appre hended on the charge of having it in her possession, but she has since been liberated. Evidence to the same effect as that which we have already published having ben given the prisoners were formally committed for trial. They are strong muscular fellows, and were apparenty insensible of ; _°.Peril in which they stand. They appeared supremely I.37.ifferent to the proceedings, and, although they were un (2_t.ended by a professional man, declined to ask any of the th e hearing any questions. They were at the conclusion of _hearing cautioned in the usual manner, and when asked 4 e7 had anythi ng t o sa y, res p ec ti ve ly replied in the 4. 3 o dative. They were comm itt e d on b o th c h arges . The '14 11 . 1 11 inquest will be resumed to-day at the Dundry re Bruges bu ried q, coroner for North Somerset.

RD ANDERSON-HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up one Anderson, who was formerly a slave in America, in order that he might be discharged. It will be recollected that Anderson, who was a fugitive slave, after killing the person who attempted to capture him, escaped into Canada. The Missouri Govern ment applied to have him given up under the extradition treaty, and he was arrested. He applied to the courts at Toronto for a writ of habeas, and it was refused, the courts holding that he must be given up. The application was now made in this court for a writ of habeas corpus, that he might be brought up and discharged, the learned counsel arguing that it had a concurrent juris diction with the Canadian courts, and could exercise its prerogative of the Crown for the purpose of liberating a British subject who was illegally confined. The learned counsel argued at great length, and quoted a number of authorities in support of his argument. The Lord Chief Justice said the Court had considered the matter, and they thought the writ ought to issue, although they felt the inconvenience that might be attached to such a course, and were fully sensible that it might be regarded as incompatible with the great liberty happily given to colonial courts and colonial legislatures ; but in extending that liberty the Crown had not abrogated the rights of the courts at Westminster to issue such writs as this, but that right had been exercised from the earliest to the latest times, and nothing short of a distinct enactment by the Legislature could prevent their issuing this writ. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT. — IsTORRIS V. CHAMBERS. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—This is a suit instituted by the personal representatives of the late John Sadleir, for the purpose Gf establishing a lien on a mine in Prussia, called the Maria Anna Mine. He regretted that he held an opinion contrary to that expressed by three eminent Englioh counacl. that the rPal and per sonal estate of a deceased felo-de-se do not fall as escheats to the Crown, but pass to his heir at law. In this case I can give no decree to the plaintiff. I simply dismiss the bill without costs. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BELLEW V. BELLEW AND EDEN. This was a petition for divorce presented by the Rev. J. C. M. Bellew, on the ground of adultery on the part of Eva Maria Bellew, the wife of the petitioner, with a gentle man named Ashley Eden. Mrs. Bellew made no answer to the petition, but Mr. Ashley, the co-respondent, had sent in his answer, which was to the effect that, as he had already paid a sum of 5,000 rupees, which had been awarded to the petitioner by the court in Calcutta, in which an action bad been brought against him by the petitioner for seduction, he ought not to be immersed in the costs of the present application. Dr. Travers Twiss, Q.C., in opening the case for the petitioner, said the present proceedings were insti tuted by John Chippendale Montesque Bellew against Eva Maria Bellew for a decree of divorce, on the ground of adultery, committed by her with the Hon. Ashley Eden. The petitioner married the lady, whose maiden name was Money, in the year 1847, at St. Saviour'e, Southwark. From that time till 1851 the parties lived happily together, when the petitioner obtained an appointment to a chap laincy in India. In the year 1853 Mr. Bellew, through intercepting a letter, discovered that his wife was carrying on an adulterous intercourse with Mr. Eden. An action was brought in the Civil Court at Bengal, by Mr. Bellew against Mr. Eden, who allowed judgment to go by de fault, and the Court set down the damages at 5,000 rupees. A divorce a mensa et there was afterwards obtained by Mr. Bellew in the Civil Court in India, and on the arrival of Mr. Bellew in England he commenced a suit for divorce in the House of Lords, but owing to the want of money the suit had to be abandoned. The learned gentleman also remarked that owing to the adul tery having been committed in India, he should have to put in certified copies of the evidence given by several par ties in the courts in India, and rely in a great measure upon them. Amongst them was that of a gentleman named Hume, who, although be had been in England since the occurrence, was now in India. The evidence of Mr. Hume was then read, which was to the effect that the respondent and co-respondent had lived together as man and wife. Mr. Charles Swinton Hogg, a barrister, said—l practiced at the bar at Calcutta from 1851 to 1853. I made Mr. Bellew's acquaintance in 1852. I visited bim at his house. My visits were not frequent after 1853. I saw Mrs. Bellew very often, and they appeared to live very affectionately till about the summer of 1853, when a coldness became appa rent on her part. lam on terms of friendship with Mr. Bellew at the present time. Mr. John Valiance—l am the petitioner's solicitor. I produce his marriage certificate. The certificate stated that the marriage was celebrated at St. Saviour's, Southwark, in 1848. My partner and myself took steps to procure a divorce in th, House of Lords, but owing to Mr. Bellew not having sufficient funds to carry on the suit it had to be dropped. Mr. William Malony, a clerk in the House of Lords, pro duced a certified copy of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Bengal, in the case of Bellew v. Bellew. The evidence of two witnesses, named Goolam Gosheim and Linton, given at the trial in Bengal, was also read, which left no doubt of the adultery having been committed. The Judge Ordinary asked if any person appeared for the respondents. Dr. Swaby said he appeared for Mr. Eden, and all he had to ask the Court was that his client might not be sad dled with the costs of the present application. He had already paid one set of costs. Dr. Twins said he would not press for costs. The Judge Ordinary granted a rule nisi. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Deputy Joyce.) MEED V. JONES.-MODERN CRITICISM. This was an action for an amount due for putting up a quantity of gas fittings. Plaintiff and his witness deposed to the work having been done as ordered, and defendant complained that it had not been properly carried out. He could prove this by a witness. Defendant then called his witness, and the following conversation ensued between that person and the Judge. Judge.—What are you ? Witness.—A compositor. Judge.—A. printer ? VG itness.—Yes. Judge.—And what do you know about gas fittings ? You work at times by gas or candle light. Witness—Yes, and I can tell if the gas acts properly or improperly. Judge—Supposing that any complaint was made as to the manner in which you set up type would you not feel very indignant if a bricklayer were called in to give an opinion upon it ? Witness—lndeed, I should. His Honour—l thought so. You would be very pro perly angry. Therefore you have no right to pass your opinion upon gas fittings. Defendant had no witness in the trade present, and his Honour found for plaintiff with costs. IBIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

POLICE IN7ELLIriENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FORBEARING PROSECUTOR.—CHARGE OF ASSAULT, ROBBERY, AND DAMAGE.—John Gleeson and John Kay, two shoemakers, were charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a quartern of rum, assaulting Mr. Pech, licensed victualler, of 356, Oxford -street, and also with breaking a plate of engraved glass, value 50s. Mr. Pech said two men came in the previous night and asked for a quartern of rum and hot water, but finding they had no money to pay it, he told them to leave the house, putting the glass inside the counter. As soon as his back was turned, Kay took up the glass and drank the contents. He then tried to put them out, and in the struggle Gleeson came behind him and seized him, and broke the pane of glass of the value of 50s. Mr. Beadon told the prisoners that after assaulting the landlord they had broken a plate of glass. Prosecutor said he did not wish to press the charge. Mr. Beadon asked why he brought the charge there then. Prosecutor said if they had the means of paying he would let them pay, but if they had not he should be sorry to lock them up for any time. He did not wish to press the charge. Mr. Beadon asked the prosecutor why he had giTen the police the trouble if he did not mean to press the charge. - Prosecutor asked if he might put a sovereign into the poor-box. Mr. Beadon said he could do so if he pleased, but the absurdity was the bringing the men there if he did not mean to press it. He would be served tie same way again, He should, as prosecutor wished it, discharge the men. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. — Henry Rushbrook, late town traveller in the employ of Mr. William Ward, drysalter, of West Bremwich, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money, amounting in the aggregate to about £3O. Mr. Beard, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and on the first examination produced evidence which made out that the prisoner had been employed by Mr. Ward since August las*, at a salary of three guineas per week, and that his sole duty was to obtain orders for goods, and not to receive any money. He had, however, asked for and received the accounts of aereu customers, and never ac coxnted for the same. Mr. Barton, of Fore-street, Cripple gate, the prosecutor's Lbndon manager, had not waited or all the customers, and was afraid more defalcations would be discovered. The prisoner had admitted receiving money of three customers, and said that he had lost it, and Mr. Yardley was of opinion these cases would fail if sent before a jury, but there were four others, and the amount received in those cases on which the prisoner was remanded amounted to about £l3. • Mr. Beard now said that, with the consent of the magis trate, the prosecutor would abandon the charge against the prisoner, who had forwarded to Mr. Ward a letter, of which the following is a copy • " House of Detention, Jan. 11, 1861. " Mr. W. Ward : Dear sir,—l take the liberty of writ ing to you, and to ask you to forego any further proceedings against me, in consequence of my poor wife and family. I acknowledge myself in the wrong, but it was no fault of mine in losirg the money, and this never would have happened had I not wrote to you about Mr. Barton, the letter you returned. Since that time he had made up his mind to get rid of me. Even Mrs. B. has not spoken to me. Had he paid me my last week's wages this would not have happened, and you would not have known it. If I should be able at any time after this to serve yeu in the London trade I will do so. I must conclude by leaving myself in your hands, and remain, your obedient servant, " RUSILBROOK." Mr. Beard—ln consideration of the man's wife and family, Mr. Ward will withdraw from the prosecution, if it meets with your worship"s concurrence. _ _ Mr. Yardley—Very well. The prisoner is discharged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'—(YESTERDAY.)

The following is the concluding portion of the evidence adduced at the Coroner's inquest yesterday : Henry Golding, the watchman, was next examined. He said—My duty is to look after the safety of the horses and building. We have no fires in the theatre. I was on duty as usual on Sunday night before the accident. Mr. James told me to go and look after the sick lion. I went, and then I did not notice anything the matter with either the large cage or cloth ; both were in the usual position. Reynolds the groom was with me. At about two o'clock I was called by Reynolds to help him, as one of the horses was kicking about. After that I went with him to look at the sick lion. The shutters were then quite safe, but the lions inside seemed rather restless, but nothing to create any alarm in my mind. I again saw the sick lion a little after four. All was secure then. The lions were then very quiet. By a Juror—No other person but myself was present at that time. Coroner—How many persons slept on the premises. . _ Witness—Two or three. The stud groom Reynolds was one. The last time I saw the lions was about half-past six on Monday morning. The shutters were up and all secure. Coroner—Before you left did you admit anybody uncon nected with the premises ? Witness—No. Coroner—Then how did the countrymen who came for the manure get in ? Witness—l had left before they arrived. Reynolds, I suppose, would let the men in, but I cannot say for certain that he did. I had no fear about the lions being properly secured. I visit them now nearly every half hour. I don't know that anybody saw the sick lion after I left. I have a comrade, but he was not at the theatre after twelve o'clock on Sunday. Mr. Batty—There are two watchmen on duty every evening except Sunday, and then there not being so much fear, one man gets a rest. Coroner—Have you, Mr. Batty, any evidence to give ? Mr. Batty—No, sir, none. I agree with Mr. Crockett in all he has said. I know the watchman had properly done his duty, as I have the ordinary tell-tale clock in different parts of the establishment. The father of the deceased was called, and said his son's name was Edward Smith. The Coroner then summed up the evidence, at the ter mination of which the room was cleared, for the purpose of enabling the jury to deliberate on their verdict. At the expiration of half an hour the public were again admitted, when The Coroner announced that the verdict of the jury was "accidental death." The jury, he stated, were of opinion that the cage containing the animals was not of sufficient strength. He need not make any observation on that part of the verdict, as he felt the opinion of the jury would be attended to as 711 the event of a second accident, if such was not the case, the verdict would amount perhaps to one of manslaughter. The jury, however, up to the present time were of opinion that the owners of the animals were exempt from all criminal consequences. Dr. M'Cann, of Parliament-street, was in attendance on the part of Mr. Batty, to give evidence as to the cause of death in case any doubt should arise in the minds of the THIS DAY'S MARRETS. HIE CULTIVATION OF COT2ON. A writer in a contemporary says : Having observed in your impression of yesterday a letter From Mr. Mackay, . Liverpool, advocating the growth of cotton in Queensland, I venture at this critical period in ' the history of our cotton trade to request space in your valuable paper for the following remarks : Cotton may be successfully cultivated iu temperate re gions where there is a mean summer beat of 73 deg to 75 i deg, that of winter being not less than 46 to 48 deg. I think there can be no doubt that these conditions exist in some parts of Australia in a very favourable degree. Even so far south on that continent as Melbourne, Vic toria, lat 37 deg 49 min, the lowest temperature recorded in the winter month of July, 1855, was 29.7 deg, and the high est 60 deg ; the adopted mean being 48.3 deg. In January, 1856 (summer month), the adopted mean temperature was 67'9 deg. Ihe highest temperature recorded in that month being 98 deg, and the lowest 49 deg. As we proceed north ward, however, towards New South Wales and Queensland these favourable conditions improve. In the United States, where the temperature of the winter months is very much lower, it has been observed as a gene ral rule that the magnitude of the crop depends upon the length or shortness of the period bet ween the spring and fall frosts. There the average time between the latest and earliest fro . sts is about seven months. In Australia it is fully 10 months--thus giving a season of three months' longer duration for the growth and development of the plant. It is admitted that the Australian cotton is the best in the world.' On the, 23d of January, 1854, Messrs. Hollinsbed, Zetley, and Co of 'Liverpool, reported on a sample of Australian cotton as follows : " It ranks with the highest class of Sea Island cotton ; and free from the few spots of stain, is worth 3s. per lb. in this market. " It is superior in fineness and evenness of sample, though a little infetior in strength of staple as compared with Sea Island. " We return to you the sample, as you may not have re • tained any, and send you a small bit of Sea Island, worth to-day 2s. 6d. per lb. ; another purchased to-day at 2s. 9d., lath infetior to your sample in our opinion, and in the opinion of the buyer of the 2s. 9d. lot. At a public meeting in Manchester on the 28th Septem ber, 1859, Mr. Bazley, M.P., speaking of Australian cotton, said : " The soil and climate of Australia were capable of pro ducing 600 lb. of this exquisitely fine cotton yearly per acre. He valued this cotton at ls. 3d. per lb., which would be equal to £4O per acre. This was no over-estimate, for he held Australian cotton for which he had given is. 7d. and ls. Bd. per lb. In May last Mr. Dunlop, eng:neer, of Manchester, the manufacturer of Dunlop's patent cotton gin, told me that the best cotton he had ever ginned was Australian. A few months ago a ft iend of mine, who devotes himself to the subject, received in this country a sample bale of cotton grown on his own lands a little to the north of Sydney. I know that this cotton had been neglected, and should haVe been gathered much earlier, yet it was valued by the brokers in Liverpool, and by Mr. Batley, M.P., at ]s. Ed. per lb. With such facts as these before us there is no reason why we should not very soon become independent of America for our supplies of raw cotton. Why, then, are our capi talists so apathetic on this subject? Capital , and labour properly directed would very soon make cotton the agricultural staple of Australia. That it will ultimately become so, I have no doubt; and I look for ward with confidence to .the time when cotton from the eastern sea-board of the Australian continent, between Sydney and Moreton Bay, will be as important an item of import into this country as Australian wool."

The Prussian Gazette publishes the following : "It will be a consolation to my people, in their just sorrow on account of the decease of the King my beloved brother, to know the good thoughts and desires which he wrote with his own hand, in contemplation of death. Accordingly I desire that these last wishes, dated the 6th of August, 1854, should be immediately made public. " WILLIAM." The Royal docxment which is referred to in the preceding note is as follows : " Charlottenburg, the day of the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ, August 6, 1854. "How I wish to be interred. "If God the Lord decree that I terminate my terrestrial career peaceably in my country, and if, which I fervently entreat of Him on my knees, my tender and belOved Elise shell surviNe me, this paper is to be delivered to her imme diately after my death. Whatever she shall change shall be executed as if that were written here ; her order shall be mine. Moreover, I w;sh one day to repose by her side, in the same tomb, as near to her as possible. "As soon as my decease shall have been certified by the physicians, I wish my body to be washed and opened. My heart, deposited a large heart formed of granite from the country of Marche, and placed at the entrance of the vault in the mausoleum of Charlottenburg (and consequently at the feet of my Royal parents), shall be enclosed in the ground and covered by it. My resting place shall be the Church of Peace, before the steps which lead to the holy table, between the marble pulpit and the commencement of tho seats, on the left (on the right of the.alts.r) of the line of the middle of the body of the church, in such a manner that one day the Queen may repose on my right. The space indicated in all its breadth from our church seat as far as those opposite, as well as the intervals between the public seats up to the pillars of the choir, shall be paved afresh in marble, from the funds which I shall leave, in the simplest manner, but in harmony with the floor and with the holy table. Immediately above my tomb shall be placed an ob long slab of white marble, flat, level with the pavement of the church, and similar to the two slabs of the mausoleum of Charlottenburg. There shall be engraven upon it the monogram of Christ, with the following inscription : " ' Here lies in God his Saviour, with the hope of a bliss ful resurrection and of a merciful judgment, depending solely on the merits of Jesus Christ our Divine Redeemer, the late, &c.' " At my interment there shall be observed the same cere mony as that used for the King my deceased father. The funeral shall take place at the cathedral of Berlin if I die in the neighbourhood of Berlin; but if I die in the vicinity of Potsdam it shall be solemnized in the Church of Peace,near Sans-Souci. " As soon as the termination of my life shall have been ascertained by the physicians,there shall be sent 150 thalers of gold to the poor of the cathedral, in accordance with my own custom every time that I receive the holy sacrament at Easter. The same sum shall also be placed at the disposal of the other churches where I have communicated, for their poor ; that is to say, the Church of Peace, the parish church of Errnansdorff, the cathedral church of Spandau, the Evangelical church of Fischbach, and the church of the Oratoire of Paris."

ADMIRALTY, JAN. 14. From the accounts received at the Admiralty by he last China mail, there seems to be little doubt that her Majesty's ship Camillamust have foundered at sea. It appears that she left Ilakcdadi on the ht of September, for lianagawa, the port of Yeddo, and. that between that day and the 9th of September the day on which the heavy gale passed over Yeddo, light southerly winds prevailed, so that she bed not probably made much progress to the south when lost. Her Majesty's steam vessel Berenice, of the Indian navy, "proceeded along the coast from liana gawa to Hak - edadi, and back, between the 24th of September and 11th of October, but failed in pro curing any intelligence of the Camilla from the numerous fishing -boats, or in discovering any por tion of the wreck. A report had reached Vice- Admiral Hope that the unfortunate vessel was seen from a Prussian xessel-of-war to strike on a rock in a fresh breeze and go down. This report would be traced to its source, but the Admiral is firmly con vinced that she foundered at sea in the typhoon which prevailed on the Japanese coast on the 9th of September. ANOTHER ACCID EN 7 ON THE LOYD() INT AND NORTH- WESTERN RAIL WA Y Yesterday morning at an early hour an accident of a very serious nature occurred near Harrow, by which several passengers were severely injured,and some of the rolling stock destroyed. The train to which the accident happened was the up limited mail from the north, due at the Euston square Station at 437 a.m. It would seem that when the train was within a short distance of Har row, on the Pinner side, from some cause or other at present unexplained, a compo-ite carriage was thrown off the line on its side. Fortunately it con tained o n ly f our passengers, of whom two were ladies and one a gentleman, and in the end com partment, which is a second-class, was one pas senger, a Mr. Craig, a gentleman from Glasgow. The train was stopp e d as spee di ly as poss ib le, and every assistance was at once given to the unfortu nate passengers, who . were ext r i ca t-d f rom their perilous position with all speed. and attended to. One of the lad:Es had-her arm fractured. Mr. Craig was in a very bad state, and was immediately sent up to town and removed to an hotel, where it was found that his left leg was seriously fractured, and that he was otherwise seriously injured. His case is considered a bad one. Fortunately the other passengers were not injured. The carriage is very much damaged, and although it is impossible to say positively, yet it is believed that the accident was caused by the breaking either of an axle or a tire. The wheels of one of the carriages were broken from the frame, and no doubt contributed to the serious consequences of the accident. During the day it was found necessary to amputate the injured ieg of Mr. Craig. The operation was performed by Dr. Ferguson, assisted by another eminent surgeon and by the medical officer of the company (Mr. Skeldin). The name of the lady who was so serious a sufferer has not been ascertained, but the gentle man who accompanied her is Mr. William Tait, engineer, of Glasgow. It is but justice to the company to state that the managers of the company have, since the frost set in, taken every possible precaution to prevent acci dent by increasing the number of stoppages, allow. ing additional time in the running of the more important of the through trains, and directing a more severe examination of the state of the rolling stock in its progress over the line. Extra carriage and waggon examiners have been appointed at various places on the railway, in order that minute and close inspection of the wheels, tires, springs, &c., of vehicles may be made, and a special order has been issued that station-masters at whose sta tions examiners are placed must Ere that the most careful examination is made, and that all possible exertion must be observed in avoiding any undue delay to the trains. With respect to th e ex t ra time allowed fo- mail and fest trains, it may be stated that the following down trains, Niz., 7.25 a.m. Irish day mail train from London; 8.25 p.m. Irish night mail, and 9 p.m. auxiliary night mail, have been allowed 15 minutes additional from Euston to Stafford, and 15 minutes additional from Stafford to Holyhead. The 9.0 a.m. Scotch day mail from London ; the 8.40 p.m. Scotch limited mail, and the 9.15 p.m. Scotch auxiliary mail. have 15 minutes additional from Euston to Stafford, and 25 minutes additional from Stafford to Carlisle. The 11.30 a.m. express from London has an additional 10 minutes from Euston to Rugby; and the 5.15 p.m. express from London, 16 minutes from Euston to Birmingham. The "2.45 p.m. express and the 5.0 p.m. express from London have 20 minutes additional from Euston to Stafford, and 10 minutes from Stafford to Liverpool and Manchester. The up mail and express trains have an equal additional allowance of time for the purpose of securing the utmost possible amount of safety. Appended to the instructions specially issued to ail the working officers of the line is that they are " to exercise the greatest vigilance and render all the assistance they can in taking the necessary precautions for the safe working of the line ;" and the particular " attention of platelayers is called to rule 341 in the book of rules and regu lations, which requires them closely to inspect the rails, keys, &c., and to see that the gauge is correct and the road in good condition." It is very evi dent that the London and North-Western execu tive are doing their utmost to prevent accident. SERIOUS CR A RGE AGAINST A BRITISR OFFICIAL IN JAPAN. (From the China Mail, Nov. 29, 1860.) Some of the foreign visitors to Kawasaki have probably been in the Seabonse Asia, or tea-house, which overlooks the river, and, if so, they will not fail to remember Outa -San, the daughter of the mistress of the house. She is sometimes called la petite, being little, and a pretty, modest, and gentle girl of 14, who bids the guests welcome in the kindest manner, who sees that they are attended to, and who comes down to them as they are going off on their ponies and wishes them a pleasant Jour ney. This tea-house is as respectable as any Eng glish hotel, and such was not the opinion of one of those English Consuls in Japan who affect to be so busily occupied in upholding treaty stipulations. This gentleman was proceeding to Yedo, on Satur day, the 16th June last, and unfortunately reached Kawasaki after the hour in the evening when all passage of the river is strictly prohibited by the Japanese authorities. He was in company with a naval officer, who we much fear has met a watery grave in the ill-fated brig Camilla. On the arrival of this gentleman at Yedo a letter was given to Mr. Aleock from the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs, complaining that when the Consul found he could not be allowed to pass the river on the night of the 16th June, he horse whipped some of the officials stationed at Kawasaki. He then went into a tea-house (the one we have referred to), which is not licensed for purposes of prostitution, and demanded that the daughter of the house should sleep with him; and when this was refused, as she was neither intended for a pros titute nor of fit age, he horsewhipped both her an d _ . her mother in order to enforce compliance to h is demand. We have seen a semi-official transla tion of this letter, and it goes on, with unexampled pApanese _p_hment moderation, to say that, while draw deulah atten tion of Mr, Alcock to the matter, t d ll t e_ the error that i gnoran t of the Japanese Go vernment does not formally of the Consul, as he was have fallen in to language, and must for prostitution. Thi s all tea houses are place s a paneseGovernment was statement of the _ cor roborated by the testimony of a foreign Consul, who arrived at Kawasaki before the English a nd ho, on inquiring for the daugh- Consul lea, t er o f the house, was told that she had fled from t h e violence with which she had been treated, and could not return to the house until the English Consul had left. Any visitor to Kawasaki will have no difficulty in finding out Outa-San, and inquiring for himself into this affair. We merely notice it here as illustrative of the very unsatisfactory state of matters in Japan at present. Has Mr. Alcock taken any action in this matter ? All the sins—real or alleged—committed by the foreign community at Yokohama are but dust in the balance compared with it. Let a British subject commit the harmless act of going to Yedo, or even let him commit the unpardonable crime of having been said to have gone to Yedo, and he is published to the world by Mr. Aleock as a misdemeanant fleeing from justice. Let a British Consul be officially accused of horsewhip ping Japanese officials, and of attempting, to all intents and purposes, to rape a child , and a silence, as of the grave, descends over the whole question. CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE LONDON AND NORTII WEsTERN.—At a special meeting of the directors of this company on Saturday, Rear-Admiral Moorsom, the deputy chairman, who has been a director of the line from its com mencement, was unanimously elected to fill the office of chairman, in the place of the Marquis of Chandos, resigned.
