MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic The minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England remains at 31 per cent., the Directors at their meeting to-day not having deemed it expedient to make any alteration. In the general market, however, the charge for the negotiation of the best bills does not exceed 3 per cent., and the commer cial inquiry is exceedingly moderate. IR the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the demand for all descriptions continued very active, and prices tended upwards. The sales amounted to fully 30,000 bales. The City of Washington, which ]eft yesterday for New York, conveyed 903 bales of cotton. To-morrow a call of £5 per share, amounting to £41,750, becomes due on the Scinde Railway £2O Shares. A small amount of gold, viz., £7,000, was taken nto the Bank of England yesterday. The steamer Ellora, which leaves to morrow for Bombay, will take out £18,700 in gold and £91,680 in silver. Notice has been given that the half year's interest on Turkish 6 per Cent. Bonds of the Loan of 1854 will be payable on and after the 10th proximo, and it is also announced that the Bonds drawn for redemption, amounting to £40,150, will be paid off at par on that or any subsequent day. A call of £3 per share has been made by the Watford and Rickmansworth Railway payable, on or before the 10th proximo. An undertaking, entitled the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank, has just been introduced with a capital of £1,000,000 (with power to increase it to £2,000,000), in £lOO shares, of which it is proposed Lot to call up more than £25 per share. It is to be established under the Joint Stock Banking Companies Amendment Acts, which limit the liability of each shareholder to the amount of the shares held. The list of directors comprises gentlemen of unquestion able respectability, and, if properly managed, it will no doubt prove a very remunerative undertaking. There is rather more firmness in the market for Public Securities to-day, but business is very dull. Consols closed yesterday at 93, 938 for transfer, and 9381 for the account, but they are now 8 per cent. better, viz., 931 1, and 931 1 respectively, in conse quence of a few speculative purchases. The New Threes are steady at 908 91 k ; the Reduced at 90,1 91. Exchequer Bills, March, at Is. dis. to 2s. prem ; ditto, June, at ss. to Bs. prem. ; India 5 per Cent. Loan is flat at 1038 2; but 'the New Scrip is firm at 1031. A fair amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Market, but prices, in some instances, show less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 851 86 ; ditto, 1858, 69 to 691 ; Mexican have fluctuated from 251 261- to 251, being flatter ; Grenada are steady at 163 17; Brazilian at 911 ; Spanish at 501; ditto Deferred at 421; and Venezuelan at 201; Sardinian are firmer at 811. The transactions in American Securities during the past wet k have not been very extensive, and prices have not exhibited much variation. The following remarks are from the circular of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite :—" We have had a dull market in London for American Securities during the past week, but in the last few days there has sprung up a more active inquiry, especially for Virginia Six per Cent. Bonds, Illinois Shares, and Ede Shares. New York Central Shares are steady at 66, and Illinois ConstruPtion Bonds at 80." The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : , Great Western 1861. 1860. North-Western 87,819 £50,314 South-Western 2 Brighton Midland South-Eastern Great Northern 34,351 27,795 Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter 7,084 7,097 North-Eastern .

On the North Western there is a decrease of £460 ; on the Midland, of £390 ; on the South Eastern, of £966; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £291 ; on the North Eastern, of £1,593 ; on the Grand Trunk of Canada, of £1,720; and on the Great Western of Canada £1,398. The Great Northern however in consequence of Doncaster Races, shows an increase of £6,556 ; the Great Western an improvement of £1,505; the South Western 'of £1,234 ; the Brighton of £689 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £1,347. Business in the Railway Share Market continued moderately active, and a slight improvement was apparent in several of the principal undertakings. Eastern Counties advanced £1 ; Great North erns, 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Mid lands, ss. Caledonians, Great Westerns, and South Easterns declined 55.; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial lines the dealings were limited, without any material change in values. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian and San Paulo were a shade flatter, and Great Indian Peninsula declined ss. Bombay and Baroda and Madras 5 per Cents, declined 10s. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares . have shown a slight advance. Union of London have risen to 271 ; London Joint Stock to 315 ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam to 671.

Diss atisfaction with the views of the company in Scotland as to future manage.. ment of the English business, whieli is proposed to be car ried on upon principles unsuitable, in their opinion, for this country, is the alleged cause of the disruption.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day•) OLD, COURT. THE CASE OF DR. GRIFFITH JONES. David Griffith Jones, who pleaded guilty to a charge of perjury, was placed at the bar for judgment. Sergeant Parry, in mitigation of sentence, 'put in two affidavits. One made % the prisoner stating that he had passed his examination before the Royal College of Sur geons in Lincoln's •inn-fields, and received his diploma to practice as a surgeon. The other was that of Mr. Dethier, who stated the signature in the register was that of the defendant. Mr. Justice Byles said the perjury was that he:had stated he had a diploma from the college of Aberdeen to practice medicine, which was not the case. Mr. Sergeant Parry said his client made the statement in cross-examination, which he afterwards admitted was not true. The learned judge commented upon the position of the prisoner, who, as a person of education, well knew the ex tent of the offence. Under a'l the circumstances, he should sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE MURDER IN HOLBORN. William Cogan, described as a labourer, aged 35, was in dicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Mary Ann Cogan, aged 30, on the morning of the 3d of August last, in New ton-street, Holborn. The prisoner, echo was accommodated with a seat, pleaded not guilty, and during the progress of the trial paid anxious attention to the evidence. Mr. Clarke and Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. Mr. Ribton cross-examined the several witnesses who saw the prisoner on the night in question, mad particularly the police constables to whom the prisoner went up to, and to whom he made the admissions at the hospital, but nothing material was elicited to affect their previous evidence. Mr. Painter, the surgeon who first saw the deceased, and afterwards made' a post mortem examination of the body, repeated his previous evidence ; and, in cross-examination by Mr. Ribton, said it was just possible, • but altogether improbable, from the nature of the wounds on the deceased, that she could have done it herself; and, in his opinion they must have been inflicted by some other person. Mr. Fortescue, the surgeon of King's Collage Hospital, described the nature of the wound on the throat of the pri soner, and said there was nothing inconsistent that it might have been done by another person. Mead, the waiter at the Queen and Prince Albert, deposed to the fact of the prisoner about half-past one coming to the house and having a pint of beer, and stating, " By God, I'll do it," and said he lost some money. Mr. Clarke said that was the whole of the case for the prosecution. _ The Court then adjourned for a short time, and on their return, Mr. Ribton proceeded to address the jury for the pri soner. After half an hour's absence the jury returned into court with a verdict of Guilty. The Clerk of the Arraigns asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why sentence of de.ith should not be passed upon him. Cogan, raising his hand, said—l never done it; if I did I hope God may break my neck going down stairs. I never did it. Your are a wicked man (pointing to the medical witness) ; you've caused the death of an innocent man. It ought not to be left to the evidence of one man; it ought to be left to the evidence of two or three. I never did it. I never did it. Mr. Justice Byles then put on the black cap, and sen ence of death was passed in the usual form. The learned udge holding out no hope of mercy. THE RECENT RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT KENTISH-TOWN. Mr. Best, on the part of Rayner, against whom a ver dict of manslaughter had been returned, the indictment for which had been ignored by the grand jury, applied that the case might be taken to-morrow. Mr. Giffard hoped, under the circumstances, the case might be postponed till next session. Mr. Justice ylea said he - could not allow such a charge to remain suspended for such a period. It must come on in the ordinary course to-morrow. 3f NSLAIT G lITER John Spiller, the sailor who was yesterday acquitted of the wilful murder of William Dixon, but found guilty of manslaughter, was brought up for sentence. The learned Judge said it was a very bad case, and ho sentenced the prisoner to 10 years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CASE OF VINCENT COLLUCCI, THE ITALIAN ARTIST At the sitting of the Court the learned Judge said, since the application made to him yesterday he had been fur nished with copies of the letters of which the leaned coun sel had asked to take copies, and having carefully perused thorn, he found they were letters written by the prosecutrix to the prisoner; their cont3nts were of a general character, and did not, in his opinion, at all affect the case ; but, at the sametime, the charge against the prisoner was one of a very serious character, and he thought it would be expedient that the learned counsel for the prisoner should have an inspection of the letters so as to afford them an opportunity of judging whet her any of them, or any portion of them, were material for the purposes of the prisoner's defence ; but at the same time he should not make any order for leave to take copies, and he did not think the purposes of justice would be at all prejudiced by he course he proposed to adopt. The order he should make would be that the counsel and attorney for the prisoner—and they might be accompanied by an inter preter if they desired—should have an inspection of both the original letters, the translations and copies, and on the trial such of them as counsel might consider material might be produced. If counsel could satisfy the judge who tried the case they could be put in evidence, and to give effect to his order, he should direct that on the trial the ori ginal letters, with the copies and translations, should be in court. With regard to the application for the post ponement of the trial until the next session, he thought after the order he had made the prisoner was entitled to ask that indulgence, The trial would, therefore, be post poned until next session. Mr. Montague Chambers asked the learned judge to name a day when it should be taken. Mr. Justice Keating said it would be very inconvenient ;.) make any arrangement this session for the next. CIIARGE OF RAPE. A respectable man, named Hearne,surrendered to an in dictment charging him with unlawfully knowing Sarah _ _ Johnson. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Dickie prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. The facts of the case have already appeared at length in •The Sun. It will be recollected that the prosecutrix was the wife of a policeman occupying apartments in the house kept by the prisoner in Upper Ebury-street. The offence was alleged to have been committed on the night of the 23d of August, whgn the prisoner, during the absence of her husband on duty, entered the prosecutrix's sleeping apartment and committed the outrage. The prosecutrix, a very good looking young woman, having repeated the evidence she gave at the Westminster Police court,was submitted to a long and minute cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, with a view to show that she was labouring uneer a delusion, and that the charge made against the prisoner was altogether groundless. She said—l have cer tainly had medical advice lately, but certainly not for any mental delusion. My husband certainly has never, to my knowledge, been of opinion that I was subject to certain hallucinations. I have certainly never had medical advice on account of the state of my mind. I have been to Dr. Love, but then it was not that I laboured under delusion. I felt unwell, and accordingly, by my husband's direction, I went to see him. He told me I was not seriously unwell, but that a couple of bottles of medicine would put me all to rights. I never made charge s against absent parties in the presence of Dr. Love. I did not tell him that a Spaniard had been following me about for months. My husband told him so in my pre sence. I never told Dr. Love I was labouring under a spell put upon me by an old woman. I don't know the meaning of the term "spell." If Dr. Love said before the magistrate I was suffering under some sort of delusion he must have made a mistake. He never told me I waa labouring under any mental ailment. When I have con sulted Dr. Love he has alimys told me I was labouring under depression of spirits, but nothing further; I know a Mrs. Blanchard. She keeps a greengrocer's shop, but nothing more One night after I had some oysters at her shop. I had a conversation with her, but I never told her I had just drank half a pint of vinegar. She did not remon strate with me upon the subject. I never said my husband locked me up because lie could not trust me about alone. I never told Mrs. Blanchard that a Mr. Percival was con stantly following me ab , ut and kissing his hand to me. I never asked a person named Ward about lodgings. I am certain I never mentioned Mr. Percival's name to him. I never charged Mr. Percival with kissing me. I have never made charges against other persons which, on being heard by a magistrate, have been discharged. Before I was mar ried I once went to Dr. Peplers with a message. I never complained afterwards of an indecent assault being committed on me by his assistant. I never charged him with coming into my bed-room and kissing me. I know a Mrs. Anell. I lived in her house four years. She has always pretended to be my friend, but I know she has been bought to give evidence against me. Re-examined by Mr. Coopor—l never charged Dr. Pepler's assistant with assault. I once went to his house to tell his assistant to give him a message. He said " All right, my dear," in a kind of offhand manner—and as I w as leaving his shop he said something about my crinoline. Mrs. Hearn told me Dr. Love was a friend of theirs. By the Judge—The day before the occasion took place which has led to these proceedings I was going upstairs, when the prisoner said, " What a nice leg you've got. I did not let my husband know of that. Police -constable 39 B said—On the 23d of August I saw the prosecutrix standing at Mr. Hearn's street door. She appeared very much excited, and told me she had been very ill used. Her husband came up, and then Mr. Hearn was taken to the etatkn i When I first saw Mr. Ilea= he wag only partly dressed. The prosecutrix appeared as if she had been crying. By. Mr. Sleigh—After the Charge was made the prisoner was called out of hislbedroom by Mr. Johnston, her hus band. When he came het was but partly dressed. Hearn, when he was told of the cliztrge made against him, said the woman must be a liar. The medical testimony w& to the effect that recent inti inacy had occurred. Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury at some length for the prisoner. The prisoner having received the highest character for honour . and honesty from a number of ;witnesses, the learned counsel called Dr. Batchelor, who said—The prosecutrix was in my service about two months. I would not believe her upon her oath. By Mr. Cooper—l would not believe her because she generally fold falsehaods. She has often told me that the person who is now her husband. was not in the house when she knew he was. Mr. Lewis—l am manager of a linendraper's in Farring don-street. The prosecutrix is a:niece of mine. I would not believe her on her oath. By Mr. Cooper—There has been a quarrel between the prosecutrix and my wife. - Mrs. Anell—l live in Kenton-street, Brunswick-square. I have known the prosecutrix two years. I would not be lieve her on her oath. The jury, after nearly three hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of " Not guilty." THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Ernest Tilley Ward, 31, clerk, was indicted for stealing various large sums of money, the property of his employers. It will be recollected that the prisoner was cashier in a large mercantile firm in the City, known as Coster, Den nant, and Co., and that it was alleged against him that at various times he had abstracted money from the firm amounting to some thousands. The jury, after nearly three hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on the ground of long servitude, and condemned the way in which the books of the firm were kept. The Common Sergeant said he would not pass sentence until to-morrow, by which time it could be settled whether the other charges against the prisoner would be proceeded with.

CARRIAGE ROBBERY,--John Henderson, described as a porter, of 5, John-street, Edgware-road, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a black leather bag, con taining a pencil case and several other articles, the property of Miss Ellen Mary Ann Toiler, a young lidy residing at 14, St. John's-wood-park. William Cooper, the coachman, while the carriage was waiting in Oxford-street, saw the prisoner take the bag from the carriage and run away, upon which he pursued him, and John Webb, of 9, Portman-street, Portman square, and John Cooper, of 16, Spring-street, Manchester square, followed the prisoner, and saw him adroitly throw the bag into a passing omnibus, the door of which happened to be open at the time. John Cooper seized the prisoner and handed him over to Mott, 97 C, and the witness Webb found the bag in the omnibus, and gave it to the constable. At the station the prisoner said he had never seen the bag, but when before Mr. Tyrwhitt he pleaded guilty, and being known to the police, Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for two months, with hard labour, under the Criminal Justice A ct.

PUBLIC MEETING AT HANOVER, IN JAMAICA, The Jamaica Gi4a; dian, received by the last steamer, con tains an interes'ng report of the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Hanover Society of Industry, on . August 1, the H H. A. Whitelocke, custos of the parish, and now one of the executive gcvernment, in the chair. In the course of his opening speech, the Chairman made the follow ing important and interesting remarks :—A word as to the movement in regard to the cultivation of cotton in Jamaica. 1 may not be sanguine as some are as to the full and speedy success of this movement, but I am cat tainly quite disposed to encourage it, and I am persuaded that, if it should suc ceed, it would benefit the country incalculably. There is an immense amount of labour in the country which, on various accounts, we shall never get on the estates. Cotton-can be cultivated by people who are physically incapable of culti vating cane ; and how important it is that some kind of oc cupation should be provided for such, for which they may, by industrious effort; be able to gain a comfortable and civilised livelihood. 1 wish well, then, to the cotton movement. I hope it will succeed ; and I shall do everything in my power, both by precept and example, to encourage it. The hon. chairman then adverted to the fact that he was one of five who, long before emancipation, petitioned the House of Assembly that women might not be flogged, and for the compulsory manumission of slaves under certain regula tions. What did the House of Assembly do with that peti tion? They thruCv it out of the window, thus manifesting, in , the strongest manner, their disapprobation and contempt. I have been 40 years in Jamaida ; I was with my father, who was a magistrate, in 1812 on the hustings on the occa sion of the Manchester massacre, and deeply impressed with that scene. How different is the stito of matters now; the popular voice is the ruling power in England, and the higher classes tbere, the proprietary body, are, to a large extent, identified with the people. The highest in the land take the deepest interest in the lowest in the land, and, in ways innumerable, labour for their good. The people know this, acknowledge it, and are grateful for it. It is thus that the safety and stability and prosperity of England are secured. The Custos then called on William Bourne, Esq , to address the meeting on the cotton cultivation. Mr. BOURNE, after adverting to the state of America, and the improbability of England's obtaining an adequate supply of cotton from thence, spoke as follows :—The attention of the English public is directed to Jamaica, among other places, in the hope that, as our soil and climate are suit able, some part of their needful supply of cotton will be ob tained from this country. A Jamaica cotton company has been already established, and commenced operations. It is rumoured indeed that a similar corupany is to be established in this parish. Mr. Bourne then adverted to the movements which had already been made by the Hanover Society of In dustry, and the assistance they had derived from the Man chester Cotton Supply Association, and said—We have the hope then that cotton will speedily become an important article of cultivation and export in this parish. Indeed, either cotton or some other cultivation, in addition to what we now have, must be introduced, or it will be impossible for the population, rapidly increasing as it is, to procure money to purchase the necessaries which civilisation de- mends. It is well known that we cannot starve. Yams, and all kinds of ground provisions are plentiful, and are grown by everybody. But we want something else to export to other countries, so that we may procure iri return cloth ing., tools, and other articles, which we must have, but which we cannot ourselves manufacture. The censt:s of this parish, lately taken, presents us with some important facts, which prove conclusively the necessity for an additional staple—and to these facts I now call your attention. We have enumerated in the returns, under the head of "no occupation," 8,282 persons. If we deduct 5,937 children, under 12 years of age, we have 2,345 persons who are re turned as having nothing to do. Besides we have enume rathd 11,799 persons as labourers ; making, with the 2,345 already mentioned, 14,144 persons, besides 1,159 tradesmen and 764 domestic servants, with the planters, - merchants, and those of other occupation. Now, how do these 14,141 persons earn money ? This society last year, at the request of the Jamaica Society of Arts, procured a i variety of statis • tics relating to the parish, which were published in a small pamphlet, and circulated in the island and in Great Britain, and their correctness has never been called in question, and is undoubted. On referring to those statistics, I find that the 29 estates in the parish, producing 2,608 hogsheads of sugar, and 1,43:5 puncheons of rum, employ 2,760 persons ; and the ';0 pens or stock farms,with 6,838 heads of stock, em ploy 377 person, making together 3,137 labourers who are paid wages. Now, deduct this number from 14,144 able to work,and you find that 11,007 persons receive wages and de pend for their livsng on growing yams and making sugar for themselves. But there are only about 300 small sugar mills, producing about 1,100 barrels of sugar. It would be a very liberal allowance to count that 1,000 persons may be em ployed. Now this being the state of the case, can any one deny the necessity of some additional staple, for Hanover at least, to employ the surplus labour of the 10,000 persons in this parish, who are shown to have nothing else to do but cultivate provision grounds and small patches of arrowroot and ginger ? If these 10,000 persons could be induced and enabled to produce 20,000 bales of cotton every year—a sup position which is by no means extravagant or beyond their ability—would not the parish bo vastly benefited ? It is impossible to calculate the increase of prosperity and com fort which would be thus secured. (Applause.) And would the twenty-nine estates be injured by the employment of these 10,000 persons in cotton cultivation ? We sincerely believe that they would not be injured. They would still retain the 3,137 whom they employ —as it would doubtless be the interest of those located near the estates, and engaged in a kind of cultivation which they understand and like, and for which they are specially adapted, to continue at it, and to do so probably with greater regularity e. , xl persistence than many of them are now accustomed to do. Such, at all cvmts, is our desire and hope in the matter • (Applause,) Ido not know so much of the other parishes ; . , but generally speaking, I believe that their condition resem bles our own more or less. lam informed that in the whole island there. are only about 300 sugar estates, and about the same number ,of pens ; and they cannot employ more than thirty or forty thousand of the population, besides the immi grants whom we are constantly calling for, but whom many of our proprietors will not take the necessary measures to bring to the island. Then census returns, so far as I have ascertained, show an increase of at least 60,000 persons ; Jamaica must now, therefore, have upwards of 430,000 in habitants of all ages. Now, if 50,000 are provided for by the sugar cultivators, and 30,000 by the produce of coffee and other staples, what are the remaining 350,000 to do ? This is the first and most important question for present rulers of Jamaica. On its proper solution hanFs the fate of the island. If our rulers have sufficient enlightenment, courage, and patriotism to solve it properly, Jamaica 4 .-.0 years hence will exhibit the pleasing spectacle of an intel ligent, contented, and thriving population. If not, then how sad indeed will our condition become I The duty of every man Vho has an interest in this island—of every one who intends to make Jamaica his home—is, to ponder this mat ter seriously, and to assist in devising measures for pro moting the industry and proiperity of the island. Other speeches followed, and the paper from which this report has been abridged states that out of a population in this city of Kingston "of 27,005, with no Glass above the necessity of labour, there are fully 10,000 people without employment." "A city with starving multitudes who, when they rise in the morning, cannot tell how they will manage to get food for the day, although in the immediate neighbourhood there are large tracts of fertile land, inviting industry and promising ah ample reward." No one stirs in the matter of the application of this wasting power of . industry to a useful purpose. 21118 DAY'S SKIPPING.

The fun turns upon the players pitchic g into the figure as hard as they can. The Cardinal comes in for several hard blows, but no one has succeeded, as yet, in putting his pipe out.

Yet he lingered for some years—a shattered invalid. Again he visited. Rome, leaving his pupil Reinagle to complete his long list of Royal commissions. Reinagle's style was so admirably imitative of his master's that it was difficult to distinguish one from the other. The pupil was instructed to complete fifty pairs of kings and queens at ten guineas each! The task seemed endless, and was six years in hand. Midway, wearied to death with the undertaking, Reinagle wrote to complain that the price was not sufficient. Ram say trebled it ; but the pupil was wont to confess afterwards that he looked back with a sort of horror at his labours in connection with the royal portraits.—Once a Week. The Commercial Union Assurance Company have prepared a classified tariff, which is stated to have b e en very carefully considered, and the office will co mmence business on Saturday, THE BREA . DFUL RAILWAY CATAS -TROPIIE IN MISSOURI: FURTHER PARTICULARS. (From the St. Louis Republican, Sept. 7.) From Mr. A. M. Hager, baggage-master on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway, we learn very locomotiv e interesting additional particulars ,of the terrible comotive ni catastroph eT at little Platte Bridge, on that road on the California a g n h d t t l e a n s d t. er, Theone freighttrain e c a o r ns l i o s a te d d ed of w t i h th e large quanti ty r, oa mail , f as e exnpgraeers sbc matter,oaga c g h a e g s e mails and two 85 to 100 children o board, baggageear There w ander containinge f w ro a from n many of them being ladies and . The train reached the brid ge where the awful disaster occurred at fifteen minutes after 11 o'clock p.m., ru nning at the customary rate of speed. There was nothing unusual about the appearance of the bridge, and therefore not the least danger was apprehended. It was a very substantial work of the Howe patent, having a span of 169 feet—the largest on the road, except that which crosses Grand River. At Platte River the grade is about 35 feet above the bottom—a frightful chasm into which to precipitate a mass of humanity. Before narrating incidents of the accident, it may be here stated that the torch of the incendiary had been applied underneath the bridge, burning th e timbers below the track. After the fire had pro. gressed a certain degree, or sufficient to weaken the bridge, so that it could sustain little more than its own weight, the flames had been extinguished, thus making the work a mere shell and a trap of death. Upon this feeble span the train, lighted only by a calcium blaze upon the front of the engine, and such brightness as the stars emitted, plunged into the jaws of destruction. Scarcely had the locomotive measured its length upon the bridge when the structure gave way with a tremendous crash, opening for forty or fifty yards an abyss of darkness and desolation. The engine turned completely over, landing in the bottom of the river, and half burying itself in the quicksand, the water in the stream being about a foot and a half in depth. The freight car followed, thunder ing upon the upturned wheels of the engine. Then came the baggage car, which dropped with crush ing weight upon the freight car, flattening the latter completely out, and tearing it to splinters. In some way the baggage car retained its position, standing nearly or quite level, bound west. The top of the baggage car was thus left about 20 feet below the summit of the abutments. Rapidly the two passenger coaches rushed into the chasm, de scending at an inclination of about 45 degrees, amid the shattering of the cars and the piteous shrieks of the terrified passengers. All the seats were torn up and shoved in front, carrying men, women, and children in 'a promia cons heap down the declivity, and burying them among the crushed timbers, or throwing them out of the cars through the broken sides. Jagged pieces of flooring impaled some ; some were mangled by maclinery-tearing through' the timbers.; several were caught between planks pressing together like a vice ; others were struck by parts of the roof as it came down with mighty force ; still others were cut with pieces of glass, while wounds and blood and agony prevailed allover the frightful scene. Shrieks of pain were mingled with cries of terror, and prayers with oaths of despair. In this way the two last cars • of the train went down, pitching the passengers into the wreck, or throwing them into the water. An agonising catastrope like this cannot be de scribed. But few on, board escaped without severe injury. Only three 'persons—Mr. J. W. Parker, superintendent of the United States Express; Mr. Vfaus, mail agent ; and Mr. Hager—were able to afford assistance to the suffering, the remainder of those who were not killed outright being so dis abled as to be helpless. Besides these three there was not ene who had not some serious injury. After doing all that it was possible to accomplish for those requiring immediate attendance, Mr. Hager, at midnight, left the wreck to go to St. Joseph, a distance of nine miles, for medical and other assistance. Mr. Hager walked five miles of the way, when he found a hand car, upon whi c h h e • proceeded the remainder of the journey. Two hun dred yards west of the bridge he discovered a heavy oak railroad tie strongly strapped across the track, and two miles further on he found the trestlework over a small stream on fire, which, however, had not yet been so badly burned that trains could not pass over it, or could not be easily extinguished. Arrived at St. Joseph, Mr. Hager proceeded at once to the express and post-Offices, and saon the alarm was spread throughout the city. Although it was one o'clock at night, 75 men, including all the physicians in the neighbourhood, had quickly volunteered their services to go to the relief of the sufferers. A locomotive was promptly fired up, and at half-past 3 o'clock the train, comprising three flat cars and a passenger coach, was at the scene of the accident with blankets, sheets, and every other article that might be of use. The wounded had all emerged from the wreck, and were lying on the banks and upon a sandbar in the river. While the physicians moved around among the injured, attended by squads of the citizens of at. Joseph, such as were not thus engaged went to work to remove the dead bodies from the cars and the river. Seventeen dead bodies were recovered,, and it is believed that this number embraced all killed up to that time. Two were so badly wounded that it was not expected they would survive till morning, while many others were dangerously wounded, and would have to be well taken care of to recover. Many who will escape with their lives will be severely maimed and crippled. Mr. Hagar, our informant; did not remain to witness the embarkation of the wounded for St. Joseph, but wasdespaichelte' Brook field, which is eastward of the bridge, for another train to go to the wreck. When he left, the names of the wounded were being taken down, and also of such of the dead as had papers or other articles about them by which they could be identified. Mr. Hager took a horse and rode to Osburn, where he found a hand ; car, upon which he pro- ceeded farther. Between Osburn and Stewartsville, on Smith's branch, or 15 miles east of Platte River, he found that another bridge had been burned. All that part, from the abutment on the west end to the hank, some 35 feet, had been totally destroyed, the fire having been set after the train had passed which met the disaster at Platte River. So it was useless to go for the train at Brookfield, because it could not pass west until the bridge over Smith's branch could be repaired. LIFE IN PARIS, The Court of Assizes of the Seine on Saturday tried a young man named Thevenin, a book keeper, for robbery and embezzlement, to the prejudice df his employer, M. Bruneau, a dealer in trimmings, residing in the Rue de la Fidelite, at Paris. The court was crowded to bear this trial, as it was known that M. Bruneau had • discovered an adulterous intercourse between the accused and Madame Bruneau, and that the latter would be examined as a witness. It appeared from the evidence that Thevenin entered M. Bruneau's establishment in 1858, highly recommended as a good man of business and a skilful accountant, at a salary of 1,8001., which was afterwards increased. M. Bruneau, in November last, went to Lyons, and during his absence the business was managed by Lyons he received an anonymous ietter informing Madame Bruneau and th e prisoner. While at him of his wife's misconduct with Thevenin. He returned suddenly, and took measures for proving the fact of the adultery, but without success. M. Bruneau was nevertheless convinced that he had been correctly informed, and as his clerk had deceived hi m in one respect he beg e a m n p t l o o y d e o d u b a t r h e i r s s o fi n d e t o l i t e y x i a n . dmisincocheirseadc,cothuento-bb joeockts,oafn, o thers.

The ev'hdeince given on the trial was very contradictory, ar,et one of the prisoner's witnesses made a deposition. so dif ferent from what he had given before the examining magistrate that he was ordered into custody by the court on a charge of perjury.
