There i 3 reason to believe that the Parisian money market is in a very unsatisfactory state, the American panic having produced an exceedingly unfavourable influence in France as well as in this country. A quieter feeling is reported in our own market, the uneasiness occasioned yesterday by the proceed ings of the Bank directors having slightly abated. Full rates, however, are enforced, and the banks and discount houses, although disposed to charge rather less than 7 per cent. for first- class short dated bills, are still restricting their operations. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days, have been very dull, the operations in most of the principal staples having been checked by the advance in the value of money. Sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt., while the transactions in coffee, fruit, and spices have been on the most limited scale, at barely previous rates. The Tea Market has remained very quiet, but there has been a steady demand for rice, cocoa, and tallow, in the latter instance chiefly for consump tion, and prices have shown an upward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot being now quoted 60s. 6d. per cwt. ; June delivery, 595. ; and last three months, 575. 6d. per cwt. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England yesterday, but it was reported that the authorities had sold £200,000 of sibTr for exporta tion to the East. The bar silver, by the Seine, from the West Indies, has been disposed of at ss. lid. per oz. standard. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, busi ness was checked by the announcement of the advance in the rate of discount ; prices, however, Were fully supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 21st ultimo, exhibited an increase of £6l compared with the same period in 1859. Further indications of heaviness have been exhi bited in the English Stock Market to-day, the position of monetary affairs at home, and the rise in the rate of discount in Paris having stimulated sales on speculative account. Consols for the 10th have been 91/ Z, but they are now 91-1 1, and for the February settlement they are 91/ I. The New Threes have receded to 911 ; the Reduced to 911 1; India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1001 101 ; and Exche quer Bills have advanced to 2s. dis. and 2s. prem, Rather more activity prevails in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices show increased heavinessn. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 70; ditto New, 551- to 56 ; and the 4 per Cents. remain at 1021. Mexican have receded to 20i 21; Peruvian to 95; Sardinian to 82 ; Spanish to 471; ditto Deferred to 401 ; but Buenos Ayres are steady at 961. There has been rather more activity in the Rail 'Way Share Market, but a farther depression has Prevailed, the decline in some instances having amounted to fully/ to 1 per cent. Caledonian have receded ss. ; Great Western, South-Western, Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, North British, and South -Eastern, 10s. ; Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Eastern (Berwick), 15s. ; Midland, £1; and Great Northern, £1 10s. In the Foreign Market there was very little business recorded. Great Luxemburg realised 61, and Bahia and San Francisco 81. The Colonial lines continue heavy. Grand Trunk of Canada deClined to 22 and 221, Great Western of Canada to 101 I, East Indian receded to 98 and 98 1, and Cape Town and Dock to 31. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in very limited request. London and County declined 55.; London and South African, 65., and Royal Mail Steam, 10s.

Lord Palmerston arrived here from his seat at i troadlands about 12 o'clock. He was received by the mayor, corporation, borough magistrates, and O ther gentlemen. A procession was formed, which proceeded to the site of the building. The Volunteer Rifle Corps, hEaded by its band, accompanied the procession as a guard of honour. On reaching the site the Volunteers filed off in open column. An address was presented to Lord Palmerston, after Which. the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Coles, requested his Lordship to lay the corner stone of the building, presenting him with a silver trowel. J. B. Stebbing, Esq., one of the magistrates of the borough delivered a brief address, thanking the Goble Viscount for his attendance, detailing the leading feature of the Institution, which is to be dtvoted to literary and scientific purposes. The Rev. G. Bradshaw then pronounced the benediction, and the ceremony closed. The band Playing " God save the Queen," Nearly one thousand persons were on the platform erected for their accommodation, and the streets Were thronged with people. Lord Palmerston honours the Mayor with his presence to a clejeuner at the Audit House this afternoon, about one hundred invitations have been issued by hi s Worship. As long ago as July 31, 1807, the noble Viscount Nvos elected an honorary Burgess of this Cor poration. NAND AND TVEATHE.R REPORT. THIS J 8, 9 A.m.

(THIS DAY.) This morning the hearing of the appeal in this case was heard before the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth. His lordship was assisted by Lord Wensleydale and Dr. Travers Twiss. The appeal came before the Archbishop as Visitor of the College, by petition, from the Rev. Mr. A. G. Watson, B.C.L. ; the Rev. W. Freeman, M.A.; and Mr. G. Lushington, three of the Fellows of All Souls' Col lege, in reference to the election of Fellows in that estab lishment. The petitioners were represented by the Attorney-Gene ral and Mr. Coleridge, and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Kenyon, and Mr. Granville Somerset, appeared on behalf of the authorities of the College. The question at issue has been the subject of much dis cussion at Oxford during the last few years, and has been more than once before the courts of law. The points in dispute are—first, whether the election of Fellows at All Souls' College shall hereafter be determined by the actual merits of the candidates, by their proficiency in particular subjects of knowledge which have been prescribed by the University Commissioners ; secondly, whether the proceedings ought to be public, without secrecy or concealment. Hitherto the Wardens and Fel lows have examined the candidates, and then, from among those who satisfied them of their scholarship, elected those they pleased, and not necessarily those who stood htghest in the order of merit. It was contended by the pe titioners that the ordinances of the Commissioners suspended the statutes previously in existence, and that under the ordinance the examiners were bound to elect those who stood highest in the order of merit, with the single understanding that whatever might be a man's antecedents, they might be weighed down by a pro fane and irreligious life thrown into the opposite scale. In an election which took place in 1858, the Warder and Fellows violated the terms of the ordinance and secretly elected three candidates, and the petitioners contended that they were not properly elected. They appealed to the Arch bishop, as visitor of the College, and his grace gave a deci sion at once. Upon this the petitioners went into the Court of Queen's Bench for a rule calling upon the Archbishop to hear them, to which his grace consented, and the rule was not made absolute. In the arguing this morning the Attorney-General went very fully into the circumstances of the whole case on which the petitioners relied, quoting very copiously from the statutes of the college and the recent otatnances of the Commissioners as they bore upon the mode of electing can didates to fellowships. The proceedings, it is fully expected, will last two or :hree days. CRIMINAL COURT—Jam. 8. NEW COURT, (Before the Common Sergeant.) . John Dunn was sentenced to four years' penal servitude, for uttering counterfeit coin. John Jennings was ordered to be imprisoned for twelve months for the same offence. George Dash, a clerk. was indicted for stealing a quantity of books, the property of his employers, Messrs. Whittaker und Co., the extensive booksellers. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to four year* penal servitude. POLICE IN7E'LLIcENCE—(7'hi 3 Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Casey, a discharged soldier, wearing a uniform coat, and two medals on his breast, was charged before Mr• Beadon with begging. Sergeant Field, of the E Division , proved seeing the pri soner begging in Tottenham-court-road with a card round his neck, with the following printed on it : " Please buy of a poor unfortunate soldier. I lost my sight in India, and was discharged with a small pension for a short time. God and the soldiers at the time of war are thought of then. When the war is over and things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier alighted." Welsh, the gaoler of the Court, said the prisoner was at this Court four or five years ago, and he was then ordered by the magistrate to bring him some clothes and set him up, and ho did so. The medals he wore he had & right to, as was once proved at the War-office. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner why he begged, and why he did not go to the parish. Prisoner replied that he was blind, and had four poor ttle children at home. When his wife was last confined he applied to St. Giles's Workhouse, but they would do nothing for him. He had lived there 10 years. Mr. Boadon said they were bound to give him relief, and if he applitd at Bow•street they would soon see him I righted. Mr. Beadon then discharged the prisoner. _ _ Henry Johnson was charged with stealing a pair of boots, of the value of 12s. 6d., from the shop of Mr. Hen derson, bcotmaker, of Tottenham-court-road ; and, it having been proved that ho had been convicted of stealing a timepiece, in Bond-street, ho was committed for trial. .

ITIES. 1001 i THAMES. SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY.—Mr. Samuel Gluck stein, of the firm of Gluckstein and Co., extensive cigar im porters and manufacturers, applied to Mr. Selfe for a war rant to apprehend a man named Phillip Moses, late of No. 17 Little Alie-street, Goodman's-fields, Whitechapel, and supposed to be now in Ireland, who had defrauded the firm to the amount of £75 under the following remarkable cir cumstances : Mr. Gluckstein said that in the early part of last month, Moses, who gave his address in Alic 'street as above, and who was related to the head of a very wealthy firm in the City, waited upon him and his partner (now present), and represented himself as an export merchant and wholesale optician, and said that he was about to proceed to Glasgow on very important business, and that he had a customer who would buy any quantity of cigars. Moses also said that he wished a very particular article to be manufactured fur him, and gave an order for £75 worth of goods, which he directed to be forwarded to the railway station at Glasgow, and promised to forward the money to London on receipt of the goods. He despatched a portion of the cigars ordered to Glasgow on the 12th instant, and the remainder a week after wards, but instead of the money he had since received the following letter bearing theßelfast postmark, but with out either date or address : " Gentlemen,—l deeply regret that, owing to an ex tremely unfortunate speculation, I am unable to meet m' liabilities. Ere you receive this I shall be on my way to a foreign country. Believe me, you shall not lose a single penny by me. Sorry indeed I am that I cannot pay you, but believe me, that it I cannot soon send you all the account I will a portion.—Yours obediently, PHILLIP MOSES." Addressed—" Messrs. Gluckstein and Co., Cigar Manu facturers, 37, High-street, Whitechapel, London." Mr. Selfe—You have been defrauded by a man with whose whereabouts you are not acquainted. . Mr. Gluckstein—Yes, sir, that is so. We believe he is travelling in Ireland or Scotland. He is about five feet ten inches in height, of persuasive and gentlemanly man ner, high forehead, florid complexion, and bushy whiskers of a sandy colour. Mr. Selfe said it was a very gross swindle, but not a case in which he could interfere. He could not grant a warrant, and the only course open to Messrs. Gluckstein and Co. was to sue Mr. Moses in one of the civil courts whenever and wherever he could be found. TIIIS DAY'S SHIPPING, • LONDON, Jan.

FROZEN RATS.—As two gentlemen were skating on the river Wharfe, near Otley, on Saturday, they disco vered six dead rats partly imbedded in the ice. The heads of the animals were all pointed in one direction, and seemed to have been stopped in their course by the intense frost. They appear at the time of their stoppage to have been crossing from the Fernley to the Otley side of the river, and one of them, like a brave general, had taken the lead in the fatal Enterprise, and the second was a little in advance of the rest, which were following closely up in couples. TAXES UPON EVERYTHING.—In some official cor respondence respecting our colony of Natal, just published by the Colonial-office, a tax of 7s. a wife is alluded to as in operation in that colony, "so that a Caffre having six wives has 425. per annum to pay to Government." The tax was originally imposed by order of the Lieutenant- Governor " as paramount chief over tho natives," or father of his country, bitt was afterwards fixed by a law of the Legislature, :MBER.

The letters and newspapers from America received in the City yesterday reach only to the morning of the 22d of December, those by the Europa to the 26th not having yet been delivered. They con tinue to express great surprise and satisfaction at the absence of alarm on this side, since, although it was known that the American houses in London were never in a stronger position, owing to the low rate of exchange having stimulated all their correspondents to hurry forward remittances as fast , as possible, the impression was that every department of general business would be seriously affected. The arrivals of gold by the Atlantic and Persia having exceeded expectations, the market for exchange had become very firm, the leading bankers refusing for the moment to name a price ; 105 was ultimately adopted, and it was thought that a further advance would take place, such as would render shipments from this side unprofitable. l Orders for gold sent by a previous packet were therefore countermanded, and the confidence as to the maintenance of the rate was increased by the fact that shipments of grain were retarded by wet weather. In contradiction, however, to these anti cipations the telegram via Halifax to the 27th now announces that, although the City of Manchester and the Canada had arrived out with additional supplies of gold to the extent of £209,631, the quo tation of exchange had receded to 104, while stocks, on the other hand, continued to show a continued revival, Erie being quoted 351, New York Central 751, and Illinois Central 681 to 69. It is possible, but not probable, that the quotation of exchange may refer to mercantile, and not to bankers' bills, in which case the latter would stand at about 105 to 106. Supposing this not to be the explanation, the inference must be that, as the reports from New Orleans announce very large transactions at advanc ing prices in the cotton market, in consequence partly of the accounts from England and the fear of the occurrence of disturbances among the slaves, tele grams had reached New York that an unusually heavy supply of cotton bills on England was about to be forwarded for negotiation. A SC4NE IN THE CORE TOWN COUNCIL. We quote the following from the Cork Examiner's report of the proceedings in the Town Council of that city on Thursday : Mr. Hodder read the minutes of the improve ment department, which, he said, contained a reso lution of Mr. Sheehan, " That a crossing be placed in (blank) street. Mr. Franklin—l suppose he meant Duncan street. (Laughter.) Mr. Sheehan—George-street, sir, is the plane I wanted it for. Is it because I live in Duncan-street you put down lies, you pious attorney' (Oh, and laughter.) The Mayor (rising)—l will not submit one moment longer to this conduct. Mr. Sheehan must leave the reom. Mr. Sheehan—He mustn't, sir. (" Chair, chair !" and tumult.) The Mayor—l will have the chair supported. (" hear, hoar," and " Chair, chair.") Call in the Mayor's men. Mr. Sheehan must leave this room. (" Chair, chair," and great confusion.) Mr. Sheehan—l would see you all to the devil first! (Dreadful uproar, during which Mr. Sheehan advanced towards the Mayor, shaking his hands at him in a menacing manner.) Is it for to speak about that? Well, come on the whole of you. I'd kick you all out you set of --. (Continued uproar.) Mr. Hegarty—The chair should be maintained. The Mayors's sergeant (Rum) having entered the room, approached Mr. Sheehan, and, placing his hand on the councillor's shoulders, endeavoured to get him out without violence. Mr. Sheehan—What do you want, you? _ _ Rum—Come, Mr. Sheehan. Mr. Sheehan—l won't go out for you nor for any of ye. (Great tumult.) Mr. Maguire—Oh, Mr. Sheehan will apologise for what he has said. (Cries of " Apologise," and continued uproar.) The Mayer—Well, sir, do you apologise ? Do you apologise, sir, for your conduct ? Mr. Sheehan, who had been at this period forced to the door, cried out, " I apologise, Mr. Mayor ; I apologise." The Mayor—Do you apologise ? Mr. Maguire—He has done so. Mr. Sheehan—lf I said anything wrong Ido apologise ; hear Mr. Maguire. Mr. Macarthy—Mr. Sheehan has apologised, and I would submit that you need not, on the present occasion, follow out this matter further. Mr. Sheehan was then set at liberty, and order was restored.

Glory be to God wfio has granted to his servant his own safety, and the safety of the faith ! Salutation to the intimate friend, to the just Abd el-Kader ; may the palm of glory and of honour flourish on thy throne ! I have heard things which the ears and the entrails would reject. Horrible things have happened between the Mussulmans and the Christrians, who had formerly signed a treaty of peace with the Kalifs. My hair has stood on end, and the skin of my face, before smooth, has been wrinkled at the recital of the lamen table events of Damascus. I then said evil has taken possession of the sea and of the Continent. No, it is not for the interest of God. but for th eir own, that the Mussulmans of Damascus have done those things. What bands had the governors over their eyes ? Why have they swam in crimes ? Why have they forgotten those words of the Prophet: He who shall commit injustice towards a Monald (Christian); he who shall refuse him his rights; who shall compel him to do what is beyond his strength, and shall rob him of his pro perty, I,' says the Prophet, will be his accuser at the day of resurrection.' How rine is this expres sion. When I heard that you had spread out the wings of mercy and of kindness to protect the Christians, and that you had stopped those who sought to violate the Divine laws, I was not sur prised that you gained the victory in the arena of praises. I was content with you. May God be so also in the supreme day, when neither money nor children will avail you in any way. You have caused the revival of the words of the Prophet sent among mankind by the mercy of God, and you placed a bridle on those who violated his decrees. May God preserve us from him who crosses the limits which he has traced out! This is why I express to you my joy and my satisfaction in thi._ letter, a bouquet of flowers taken from the garden of the poor prisoner among the infidels, by the decree of the Almighty God. "SCHAMYL, the Stranger." The reply of Abd-el-Kader is as follows : " Glory to God ! Praisa and salutation to the Prophet Mahomet, and to all the prophets! The poor before the rich, Abd•el-Kader, son of Mouhi ed-Din-el-Hossaim, to the brother in God and dear Ulemar Schamyl ! May God protect us, him and me, in the time of repose and in the hour of departure. May peace and Divine mercy be given to you. I have received your letter and your amiable praises. What we have done for the Christians was a religious duty and one of huma nity. Our faith is the perfection of good qualities —it comprises all that is praiseworthy and all that ought to be done. All these good things must be with us like a collar round his neck. Injustice is blamed in all nations, and its dwelling is sullied. The poet has said, When the day of temptation comes man so loses his head that what is ugly he finds handsome.' We come from God, and we shall return to Him. We live in a time when few of the faithful cause justice to triumph, and people have believed that Islamism inculcates cruelty, injustice, and exclusiveness. May God grant as patience ! We know that you are with the Emperor of Russia, and that he gave you a reception worthy of you. We know that you requested him to allow you to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Let us pray God that he may grant it. The Emperor of Russia is a great king, and he merits all the praises which have been lavished on him. I hope that the Sultan of Russia will shower down his benefits on you as the Sultan of France has done on me. Let us hope in God, who is alone to be adored. "ABD EL-KADEI3.." TRE WRECK OF 711 E Que EN VICTORIA STEAM-SHIP. Yesterday the Board of Trade received the official report of the Receiver of Wrecks at Plymouth, containing the sworn deposition, as required by the Merchant Shipping Act, of Captain G. P. Lambert, commander of the Queen Victoria screw steam-ship, 1,430 tons, which was wrecked in leaving Plymouth Sound for Keyham. The Queen Victoria, laden with the Rtngoon and Singapore electric telegraph cable, left London on the 4th of last month, with 18 passengers on board. In accordance with the contract, she put into Plymouth and remained in the Sound until the the 2d inst., the weather fine, and the wind in the E., blowing a moderate breeze, when the ship weighed anchor from the usual merchant anchor age, for the purpose of proceeding to Keyham dockyard, according to orders received on the Ist inst. The ship was in charge of a first-class pilot of the port of Plymouth. On starting, the ship's head being to the eastward, she proceeded under steam round the shipping for the purpose of point ing her head fair for the II imotize Channel, when it appeared that the ship did not answer her helm quickly, on which he (the captain) said'to the pilot, " If you want the ship to answer her helm promptly, you must ease the engines." The pilot consented that they should be eased, and it was accordingly done, and the ship went round immediately. He then remarked, " You see now how she answers." He was himself ignorant of the Channel, and de pended entirely upon the pilot, but seeing the vessel was going at a fast speed, he asked the pilot if all was right, who replied that it could not be better. On the ship coming round the Vanguard buoy, having full speed on, he (the captain) being on the bridge with the pilot, suggested to him (the pilot) whether the engines had not better be stopped, to enable the ship to answer her helm, which was hard a-port. The pilot assented to the suggestion, which was immediately carried out; but observing her head was continuing to approach the shore, ha (the captain) proposed that the engines should be reversed at full speed, and the pilot having ac quiesced, it was almost immediately done, but before her way could be stopped she grounded on Wilderness Point, in Barnpool. The report then details the efforts made, but without success, to get the ship off, and adds, " the ship still remains fast, and is rapidly being cleared of all moveable stores and cargo. Captain Lambert considers that the casualty was caused through want of caution and judgment on the part of the pilot when navigating a vessel of such length and tonnage. The Receiver, in submitting the report to the Board of Trade, writes to the effect t hat the casu alty appears to have been caused by the vessel having been kept at full speed wh en a pp roachin g the Vanguard Buoy, which together with the great length, prevented her from rounding the buoy so closely as is necessary to avoid running aground on the opposite shore. The ship and cargo, it is stated, are insured at Lloyd's and other offices for upwards of £lOO,OOO. TILE ,PRIVATE OF THE BUFFS. Br SIR F. H. DOYLE. " Some Seiks, and a private of the Buffs, having re mained behind with the grog-carts, fell into the hands of the Chinese. On the next morning they were brought be fore the authorities, and commanded to perform the kotou. The Seiks obeyed ; but Moyse, the English soldier, declar ing that he would not prostrate himself before any China man alive, was immediately knocked upon the head, and his body thrown on a dunghill.—See China Correspondent of the Times. Last night, among his fellow roughs, He jested, quaffed, and swore; A drunken private of the Buffs, Who never looked before. To-day, beneath the foeman's frown, He stands in Elgin's place, Ambassador from Britain's crown, And type of all her race. Poor, reckless, rude, low-born, untaught, Bewildered, and alone, A heart, with English instinct fraught, lie yet can call his own. Ay, tear his body limb from limb, Bring cord, or axe, or flame : He only knows, that not through hint Shall England come to shame. Far Kentish* hop-fields round him seem'cly Like dreams, to come and go ; Bright leagues of cherry -blossomgleaned One sheet of living snow ; The smoke, above -his father's door, In grey soft eddyings hung Must he then watch it rise no more, D o om'd by hims elf, so young Yes, honour calls I— with strength like steel H e put the vi sion Let dus k y Indians whine and kneel; An English lad must die. And thus, with eyes that would not shrink, With knee to man unbent, Unfaltering on its dreadful brink To his red grave he went • 'Vain, mightiest fleets, of iron framed; 'Vain, those all-shattering guns; Unloss proud England keep, untamed, The ,strong heart of her sons.

FATAL ACCIDENT oiv THE LoN n0.21r, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. • TEI I .ILVAL JAN. 7. The appalling accident which occurred at a late hour on Saturday night, on the London, Chatham, and Dov er Railway, near this station, whereby two persons lost their lives under the circumstances detailed in 71te Sun of this day, has resulted in the death of another of the sufferers, the engine driver, William Matthewson (not. Mattison, as was previously stated), having expired last night from the fearful nature of the injuries he had received •, makiag the third person who has been killed through the unfortunate occurrence. All the three men are stated to have been excellent servants of the company, and well acquainted with their duties. It is, however, asserted that Matthewson, the driver of the engine, had only been in the em ploy of the company a few days, having recently re turned from India, on one of the railways in which country he had previously been employed. Wit( ther this statement is correct, and bis alleged want of knowledge of the line led to the acecident, doubtless form the subject of investigation by the coroner and jury. The fireman who was with him, and who is one of the men killed by the accident, had been in the company's employ some time, and. is stated to have been thoroughly acquainted with every portion of the line. The particulars already given of the accident convey but a faint idea of the frightful nature of the occurrence, the railway officials and other parties connected with the line, whose duties have brought them to the scene of the fatal calamity, one and all declaring that during the whole of their experience in railway accidents they had never witnessed one the results of which, in the destruction not only of life but also of valuable property, had been of such an appalling character. The only surprise appears to be that every person connected with the train was not killed, and that any of the passengers escaped with their lives ap pears altogether marvellous. On the engine giving the bound which caused it to leave the metals it ran for a short distance along the permanent way, when both it and the tender turned completely over, rolling down an embank ment, on which the line there runs, and falling into a field below. The line for some distance was torn. up, and the rails bent and twisted into the most fantastic shapes. The guard's break van, next the tender, and the carriages behind, were all thrown off the rails, and were huddled together in one mass and dashed to pieces ; indeed, so complete was the work oft demolition from the violence of the shock that scarcely any distinguishabl e portions of the carriages are left remaining, huge pieces of iron, wheels, splinters and b3ards having been scat tered about in all directions. During the whole of the night workmen were employed clearing the line, replacing the broken rails, and removing the wrecks of the carriages, and they lighted fires with the broken pieces of wood which formed portions of the first-class and other carriages. It is an exceedingly fortunate circumstance that there were only a very few passengers in the train at the time, this being the last station at which the down train stopped, or the number of lives sacrificed must have been very large. Most of the carriages were empty at the time, but of the pas sengers who were travelling not one escaped without injuries of a more or less serious charac ter. During the whole of Saturday_ night and yesterday relays of workmen were employed, under the direction of Mr. Finnigan, in clearing the line and getting the down rails ready for the traffic, all the trains passing over the up portion of the line. The work of getting the engine on the line was one of great difficulty. Although of a very large size, the manner in which it has been twisted. and bent is most astonishing. No satisfactory reason for the cause of the accident can yet be discovered, but this no doubt will form the subject of a searching inquiry by the coroner. There appears, however, every possibility that the late severe frosts might have been indirectly the cause, several remarkable instances having recently occurred which show the astonishing effects the frost has upon metals. All the bodies lie in the immediate vicinity of this station, and official intimation of the occurrence has been forwarded to Mr. T. Hills, the coroner for West Kent. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A CLERGY ILAN. A charge of a very painful character, in which the Rev. A. Seaton, rector of Colton, was the de fendant, and the Rev. John T. Harland, of Bella moor Lodge, the complainant, was brought before the magistrates at Rugeley on Thursday. The charge was one of assault, alleged to have been committed on the 27th of December at Colton Rectory. The case was opened for the complainant by Dr. Hill, of the Oxford :Circuit, who stated that some few years ago the rev. defendant became a widower, v. hen Miss Oldham, of Bellamour Lodge, the sister-in-law of the complainant, among many other kind offices, took charge of the eldest daughter of the defendant. Some short time ago the defendant was again married, and he sub sequently entertained an idea that Miss Oldham had alienated from himself and wife the affections of his daughter. On the 27th ult., the defendant wrote to Miss Oldham, expressing satisfaction that his wife and daughter were as fond of each other as he could wish, and that the latter had not wholly lost her reverence for him, "notwithstanding the miserable slanders which she had been doomed to listen to from the lips of herself and Mrs. Harland." The letter, which contained further similar excit able expressions, was briefly replied to by Miss Old ham, and on the return home of the complainant a note was written by him to the defendant, suggest ing that a meeting should immediately take place, with the view of ascertaining and inquiring into the allegations contained in the letter. With this suggestion the defendant immediately coin cided, and proposed that Mrs. Harland, Miss Oldham, and the complainant should at once confront his daughter at the rectory. The counsel then proceeded to detail the circum stances, which occurred during the interview at the rectory. These were subsequently borne out in evidence by Dr. Harland and Miss Old ham. The words "infernal liar" were said to have been used by the defendant, who also struck the complainant severely several times, and scratched and kicked him. The rev, defendant conducted his own case, assisted by a legal adviser. The language used was not denied ; but it was argued that the complainant was the first to take hold of defendant's coat collar. 'The daughter of Mr. Seaton, a young lady between fifteen and sixteen years of age, was also summoned as a witness for the defence. She stated that she did not see the defendant strike the complainant, and asserted that she herself struck the complainant's ear, thereby drawing blood. At the conclusion of the case the chairman of the magistrates said that everyone who had heard the case must regret that the rev. defendant had so far forgotten himself, and more especially would be pained at the defence which had been set up, and which had done more harm than anything else. The Bench had come to the unanimous decision that the five must be the highest allowed by law, which was £5, including costs, or in default two months' imprisonment.—Manchester Guardian. MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS. Mr. Bazalgette, the engineer to the Metropolitan Board of Works, has drawn up a report on the pro- • gress of the main drainage works on the north and south side of the Thames, of which the following is an abstract :—The bulk of the main drainage works has of necessity been stopped for a considerable portion of the past month on a ccount of the frost. The northern high level sewer works will probably The m iddle level sewer,which be recommended and rapidly finished off as soon as the weather permits. has been re-let to Messrs. a. Drassey and Co., also awaits a change in the weather, The arrangements for placing Mr. Furness in possession of the land along the whole completed, line of th and northern this work outfall sewer are now nearly commenced in t course of the present month. The Ranelagh Storm Overflow Sewer, across Hyde p ar k, progresses satisfactorily, works to the amount of £5,700 having been completed, in addition to the underpinning of the old sewer to the value of £2,688. On the south side of the river the southern high level sewer is now in progress at five different points, three on the main line and two on the Dul wich or Effra branch. The value of the work done is £5,800, and the total length completed is 3 miles 1,812 feet. The southern outfall sewer continues to be carried on in a very business like and satisfactory manner. The tunnel under Woolwich is about one mile in length, and varies from 45 to 75 feet in depth ; four shafts have been sunk, r.nd 2.253 feet of tunnel completed, the headings being lighted with gas, and the miners working day and night ; the tun nel will probably be completed next autumn. The rest of the work is, with trifling exceptions, being constructed in open cutting, and about 6,527' feet have been completed, making 8,510 feet in tunnel and open cutting. The value of the work done is about £BO,OOO. The works for the low level sewer under the Surrej Consumers Gas Com pany's property now progrYsses satisfactorily; the water having been subdued, the excavations are nearly completed. The Earl outlet was in a very dilapidated condition ; it is now being recon structed, and the sewage conveyed through pipes to low water, and this will form a storm overfloW . in connection with the low level sewer. th- A , as by for ,r's ) of !ed- ers ,nd is per ife. ity as tth- I in was eet "our bed ow- em, teed gne hula nign and city, 7orm VOID ther beloW • 10$ 71 48 i f ~ Li s
