Yesterday morning the annual garrison races came off on Woolwich-common, and from the peculiar fineness of the weather they were attended by an immense concourse of people. At 1 o'clock the bugles of the Artillery sta tioned near the grand stand gave a signal to commence booting and saddling. The ground was well kept by the riding-house establishment and the Royal Horse Artil lery, who were mainly assisted by about 200 of the town and dockyard police. Colonel Warde, Royal Horse Artillery ; Captain A. Williams, Royal Artillery ; and Lieut. Tillard were stewards ; and Captai❑ Connell, Royal Artillery, acted as the treasurer and clerk of the course. The first was a hurdle race of two miles, run - by five horses, for a sweepstakes of 3 sows each, with 301 added, 12st each, over six flights of hurdles. The horses were Lieut.-Colonel C. Morris's ch g the Emperor; Lieut. C. Stirling's br g Magpie; Dr. Bowen's b m Stella ; Veterinary-Surgeon VVilliamson's b g Gerard and Captain Brabazon's br g Flytrap. Emperor made the run until he came to the first hurdle, which he re fused ; Magpie immediately took up the run, and con tinued to keep the lead until he got to the straight line, when Gerard took the lead and won cleverly. The se cond race was the Gutter Stakes of 1 sow each, with 101 added ; catch weights of half a mile. Horses of this race were ridden by officers on full pay of the Royal Ar tillery, and were as follows :—Captain Drayson's br m The Duchess ; Captain Brabazon's b g Flytrap ; Veteri nary-Surgeon Harrison's b g Big Tom. Flytrap made the whole of the running, and won cleverly ; Big Torn refused to start, plunged violently, and was left behind. The third race was run for the Benefit Stakes, of 5 sows each, with 401 added ; and consisted of Lieut.-Colonel C. Morris's ch g The Emperor ; Captain Drayson's br rn The 'Duchess ; Captain Brabazon's br f Mrs. Seacole ; and Veterinary -Surgeon Harrison's Little Tom. Mrs. Seacole made steady running throughout, and won after a good race by half a length. Little. Tom's bridle snapped after sunning about half a mile, and be was consequently ridden with one rein only. rho fourth was a pony race, of 2 sovs each, with Si added, for ponies not exceeding 14 hands 2 inches, and the dis tance three quarters of a mile. The horses were Lieut.- Colonel C. Morris's b. p. Hussar, and Veterinary-Sur geon Skoulding's gr. p. Small Boy. This race was won cleverly by Small Boy, ridden by Veterinary-Surgeon Harrison, who lost his cap when about half the distance. This circumstance occasioned some doubt as to the legality of the race, in consequence of the reduction of the weight, minus the cap. On application to the scales, however, the legitimate weight was still very finely re tained. The fifth and last race was a Consolation Han dicap, of 2 sows. each, with 201. added, run by Little Tom, Mrs. Seacole, Emperor, and Stella. The distance w as one mile. This was very cleverly won a full length by Little Tom, ridden by Veterinary -Surgeon Harrison, who won no less than three of the races, and whose jockeyship was much admired. A foot race then came off for the non-commissiontd officers and men of the regiment, who ran a distance of 300 yards without boots, and stripped to their shirts and drawers. The first prize was 1/. 10s., and the second 1/. The next was a hurdle race for the non-commissioned officers and men of the regiment, the same distance as the former, but with the addition of having to leap over 12 hurdles, which caused much amusement. These two races were contested by 12 men, and were both won by a serjeant of the C bat tery. The first and second prizes were 1/. 104. and U. There were, besides, two other foot races, the last of which was for drummers and trumpeters of the regiment, the prizes Leing 7s. 6d. and ss.

THE PRINCE OF W ALES'S VISIT TO DEVONSHIRE.— During his soj ourn at Teignruouth the Young prince visited the justly- ce l e b rated establishment of Mr. Con!. man, madrepo re and marble mason, Teignmouth, on three different occasions, and expressed his admiration and approval of many of the ornaments p r oduced from the madrepores found on t h e beach, and made purchases of different articles fitted for presents, &c. The prince much admired an elegant and handsome madrepore table which was in the establishment, and w hi c h i s i n t en ded for presentation to Charles K e l son, Esq., magistrate, by the mercantile and shipping community of Teign mouth, and is being executed in an admirable manner by Mr. Coulman. It is believed by many in T e i gn mouth that the town is indebted in a great measure for the visit and residence of the prince to the representations of the Prince do Joinville, who resided here some few years since. LONDON, WED ,Ivt_SDA_ Y EVENING, OCTOBER 22, THE CASE OF ARCHDEACON DENISON. BATH, OCT. 21. The Court constituted to try the suit promoted by the Rev. J. Ditcher, vicar of South Brent, Somerset, against the Ven. G. A. Denison, Archdeacon of Taunton, for preaching and publishing doctrinesrelating to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper alleged to be repugnant to the Thirty nine Articles, sat to-day in the Guildhall, Bath, by ad journment from 12th August last. It will be recollected that at the last sitting Dr. Lushington, on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury, read a declaration containing the conclusions of his Grace and his assessors on the ques tions at issue. His Grace therein pronounced the doctrines of the Archdeacon to be contrary to the 28th and 29th Articles of the Church, and called upon him to revoke his errors before the Ist inst. on pain of deprivation. The Archdeacon having allowed the period of grace extended to him to expire without lodging the required retractation in the registry of Bath and Wells, the Court re-assembled to-day 'to deliver judgment. The Guildhall was densely crowded with spectators long before the proceedings com menced, the clerical element preponderating in the audi tory. The dimensions of the hall are extremely limited, and largo numbers of applicants were refused admission. In court we observed Bishop Carr, PrebendaryOmmanney, and Captain Scobell, M.P. The Archdeacon was again accompanied to court by the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, M.P. for Oxfordshire. Dr. R. Phillimore, M.P., acted as counsel for the Archdeacon of Taunton, and Dr. Bayford for the Rev. Mr. Ditcher, the promoter, who was also pre sent. His Grace the Archbishop, Dr. Lushington assessor) Dr. Travers Twiss Ohs Vicar-Gsnetal), and Mr. F. H Dyke (registrar) having taken their seats, Dr. Lnshington opened the proceedings by stating that two papers purporting to emanate from the Archdeacon of Taunton bad been delivered into the registry of Bath and Wells on the 30th of September. The one was a statement and the other a protest, and the Court now wished to know what course the Archdeacon wished to pursue. Dr. Phillimore said he thought it would save the time of the Court if he were permitted in the first instance to argue for the protest, which had for its object to show that the 29th article of the Church especially was not one to which the 13th of Eftabetb, chapter 12, applied. If he failed in sustaining that point, which he confidently hoped would not be the case, then he would endeavour to prove that the paper put in by his venerable client was such a practical compliance with the order of the Court as the statute of Elizabeth required. Dr. Lushing,ton said that the Court would first dispose of the protest; but if the objection it took was a valid one, the Court was at a loss to understand why it was not raised at the earliest stage of the proceedings, and would be glad if any satisfactory explanation could be afforded on that point. Dr. Phillimore should have have felt it his duty, even if such a demand.had not been Made on him by his Grace's learned assessor, to state at the outset why the, objection contained in the continued protest was not taken in, limine —an objection which, if valid, was certainly fatal to the condemnation of the doctrines of the Archdeacon. In the original criminal articles filed against the Archdeacon by the Rev. Mr. Ditcher his client was charged with offending against four of the 39 articles of the Church—viz., the 25th, 28th, 29th, and 35th. By the conclusions come to by his Grace and his assessors, and promulgated at the last sitting, his client was practically acquitted of any offence against the 25th and 35th articles, because the censures of his Grace were confined to the interpretation put by theArchtleacon in his sermon on the 28th and 29th articles. If, therefore, the objection as to the 29th article had been raised in. limine, and it had been sustained, his client would still have been left exposed as regarded the other articles, to which that objection did not extend. He had had great difficulties to contend with, owing to the indisposition of his client to allow him at an earlier stage to take objections in bar of any judicial inquiry at all. Those objections had been overruled by the Court, but there still remained the question whether an objection should not be taken founded on the fact that two of the articles mentioned in the charge against the Arehdeacon were not in the 13th of Elizabeth. His attention had indeed been drawn to the allegation in the present protest, that the 29th article was not comprised in the book referred to by that statute ; but the weight of the prima facie evidence against that proposition had in duced him at first to refrain from urging it. Since then, however, he had had an opportunity of examining cer tain authorities which led him to a different conclu sion. Among these authorities was a work recently published, which was very scarce, and a copy of which it was extremely difficult to procure, namely, " Dr. Lamb's History of the Thirty•nine Articles," taken from the records of the College over which that learned author presided,and including fac-simile copies of four or five different editions of the articles. That boOk had never before come under his notice, and its perusal had thrown an entirely new light upon the subject, to his mind, at least. And when it was considered that the Statute of Uniformity, the authority of Lord Coke, and the judgment of Lord Stowell, in Stone's case, all took for granted that the whole of the 39 articles were binding under the 13th of Elizabeth, tho oversight of which he had been guilty was, he could not but think, very pardonable. His Grace having acquitted the Archdeacon in respect of two of the articles, and condemned him on two others, it then became his duty, whatever might be the scru ples of his client, to prevent him, if possible, from falling under so * severe a penaltyas deprivation, being convinced, as he was, from a long and laborious investigation of books and documents to which few had access, that the 29th article did not come under the statute of Elizabeth. It was an acknowledged maxim that it was never too late to urge a plea in arrest of judgment, and he felt that he should hay been doing wrong if he had allowed sentence to be pro nounced and had kept this objection in reserve for a court of appeal. He was therefore now prepared to maintain the position set forth in the protest. Dr. Lushington—His Grace is anxious to hear all that can be reasonably urged in a case of this importance, and desires you to proceed. Dr. Phillimore said that the statute of Elizabeth, under which this proceeding was taken, required the clergy to declare their assent and to subscribe to all the articles of religion which concern the confession of the true faith and the doctrine of the sacraments as comprised in a book entitled, " Articles whereupon it was agreed by the Arch hishops and Bishops of the Provinces and the Convocation of the Clergy of the Year 1562." According to the law of the Church of England for avoiding diversities of opinion and the establishing of consent, if any priest taught any doctrines repugnant to the articles he was to be " con vented" before the bishop, and if he then refused to revoke his error he was to be deprived. The propositions which he (Dr. Phillimore) had to sustain therefore were-Ist, that a clergyman was required to subscribe the articles contained in a book; 2d, that it must be a printed book; 3d, that it must be a book with a particular title; 4th, it must be a book put forth with the Queen's authority ; and sth, it must be the book put forth with the Queen's authority in 1562. But for the strong current of authority the onus of proving that these articles were in that book would lie with the Rev. Mr. Ditcher. He (Dr. Phillimore) know of no other statute in this realm in which any person, civil or ecclesiastical, was threatened with penalties for an of fence not distinctly specified, but- merely referred to as in tended to be gathered from a book ; and he undertook to satisfy the Court that the 29th article, which his client was charged with contravening, was not in the book so imprinted and referred to by the statute of Elizabeth—he undertook to show that there was no such book in exist ence when that statute was passed on the 29th of May, 1571—n0 book answering the requisitions of the statute which contained the 29th article. When the facts came to be carefully examined he maintained that no judicial mind could arrive at any other conclusion save that this article and another that he would mention were not inserted with the 39 articles by the 13th of Elizabeth, chap. 12, but were placed there by an authority--whether that of the Crown or any other—totally deltors the statute, and after the sta tute had become the law of the land. If he succeeded in establishing these propositions ho was sure his grace would decide that the 29th article could not be included by any thing which took place subsequent to the act of the 13th of Elizabeth. No doubt, it was assumed in every ordinary work of thei r divines that the 29th article was included in that statute ; and there was also a recital iu the 17th of l s t i h a s e t S i ntatuvtiez tthe Uniformit y—to governors n f t b e e n l e l effect s that certain s halls, should subscribe the Thirty-nine Articles mentioned by the 13th of Elizabeth. This was, however, a misrecital, the act of Elizabeth not mentioning any Thirty-nine Articles, but referring to a book that might have contained 39 or any other number of articles. This showed how care lessly from an early period it was taken for granted that the 13th of Elizabeth had done what it really never did. He contended that even the Act of Uniformity, by a mis taken reference to another act, could not enforce the sign ing of articles not actually included within that other act. Lord Coke, 4th Institute, chap. 74, referred to the case of a clergyman who claimed a right to subscribe to the arti oles "so far forth" as they were warranted by Scripture. The case came before the Chief Justice of the King'sl3ench, and, it being held that the act was passed for the avoid ance of diversity of opinion, it was decided that the sub scription must be unconditional. The Thirty-nine Ar ticles, it was true, were there mentioned, but by reference on ly. The decision" was not that thirty-nine articles of religion were enacted by the 13th of Elizabeth, but s imply that that statute rendered an unconditional sub scription imperative; and no question was then raised a s to whether the 29th article was included in the statute of Elizabeth. Next, there was the judgment of Lord Stowell i i Stone's case ; but there the case was that of a clergyman advisedly holding doctrines at variance with the 39 Articles, and contending that he had a right to do so; and, although Lord Stowell defended the statute of Elizabeth and the articles, there was nothing in his deci sion to show that 39 articles were enforced liy that statute; and even if there had, it would have been nihil ad rein as far as the case was concerned. The only question was whe ther a clergyman might maintain doctrines contrary tothe Articles, and it was decided that he could not. These emi nent authorities, irdeed, believed that subscription to the ■sirty-nine Articles was binding, but the point as to the number of the articles was never raised before them. The learned counsel then entered at great length into the history of the articles of the Church, with particular reference to the introduction of the 29th article. The 42 articles of Edw. VI., he said, did not contain this one. The statute of Elizabeth referred to the, articles agreed upon in 1562. Archbishop Parker added the 2Jth to the other articles, making in all 42. They were introduced to convocation, which reduced them to 39. Whether these articles ever received the Royal assent might or might not be a matter of doubt;, but beyond all question the printed edition of 1562, put forth by Royal authority and purporting to con tain these articles, did not contain article 29. In suport of this assertion the learned counsel quoted from the works of Drs. Lambe, Cardwell, and Bennett, and continued— On the sth of December, 1566, a bill was brought into Parliament, with a little book, printed in 1562, appended to it, and which did net include the 29th article. Lambe's book, in a note, stated that there were no copies of this little book published till 1563. Its contents were the articles agreed upon by Convocation in 1562. The bill of 1566, with the book annexed; was progressing through v the Legislature, .but its course was then - arrested by Queen Elizabeth, on the ground that it encroached on her prerogative. The Puritan members of the Legislature resisted the clause in the 20th article, asserting the church's power to determine controversies as to ceremonies and doctrine; and as Quepn Elizabeth in 1566 stopped her Par liament for, as she alleged, denying her supremacy, so in 1571 she was not likely to scruple to add an article of her own accord, and without their authority. Dr. Lambe's work gave a fac-Pimile of the imprinted book referred to in the 13th of Elizabeth from a copy in the library of St. John's College, Cambridge, and which did not contain the 29th article or the first clause in the 20th. Convocation itself took no step in 1506 for framing articles of religion, but it petitioned the Sovereign to pass the bill of that year. This showed that that body - did not wish to press upon the clergy the 29th article or the beginning of the 20th. Then comes the year 1571. Parliament met in April, and on the 7th of that month the measure was introduced which eventually became the famous statute the 13thlof Eliza beth. This bill was invariably called the bill of last ses sion—that was of 1566. sir Simon Dewes, a high autho rity on the Parliamentary history of this period, exactly identified the bills of 1566 and 1571. If there was any evi dence of the existence of :a printed book containing the Thirty-nine Articles it ought to be found before the 29th of May, 1571, on which day Parliament was dissolved. Now; them was nothing to show that Convocation had ordered any work to be published in which the 29th article appeared. In support of this view the learned counsel quoted as authorities the works of Lambe and Bennett. He maintained, first, that there was no edition of th 3 ar- tides before 1571 which included the 29th .article ; and, second, that the first known edition which contaired it was a quarto edition, which could not have been published before the 4th June, but which was perhaps in type of that date. The uncertainty in which the whole point as to the 29th article was involved was made more apparent by the conduct of convocation, which, by its 36th canon, passed in 1604, and making the articles binding on the clergy, took no notice of the 13th of Elizabeth, but made the quarto copy the basis of its deliberation. The leaned coun sel then quoted from alcorrespondence between Archbishop Parker and Lord Eurleigh, with reference to the 29th ar ticle in connection with a marginal note (viz., Sip. Johan tractat., 26) front St. Augustine, to show that she article was still sub jut/ice on June 4, 1571. Archbishop Parker afterwards struck out this note, and the article was printed without it. This, point was the more imporAnt, as the Archdeacon of Taunton had all along maintained that his interpretation of this article was strictly coisistent with the authority of St. Augustine. If an imprinted book was made binding on the clergy by one of the severest acts which Parliament ever passed, inflicting deprivation on those who put an erroneous interpretation on the articles of the Church, it was most important to inquire whether this tremendous weapon was to be wielded against the clergy in respect of all the articles, or only in respect of a certain number of them. if this article had formed part of the statute of Elizabeth on the 29th of May, 1571, how could Archbishop Parker have canvassed the possi bility of altering it on the 4th of June, the date of his lett er re l a ti ve to - the ma - rginal note from St. Augustine ? Having referred to the authority of Hallam's Constitutional History as to the famous dispute . _ respecting the first clause of the 20th article, which Laud was accused by the Puritans of having forged and foisted into th• articles, and contended that that clause wanted confirmation of the Legislature, the learned counsel in sisted that the principal part of the 20th article must have been introduced by the Royal authority alone. In fact, the 20th and 29th articles, to use a common expression, ran in couples throughout the whole of Queen Elizabeth's reign, both being either omitted together or included to gether ; and nobody could suppose that the monarch who did not scruple to put in the important part of the 20th clause would have hesitated 'to insert a clause of such infe- rior significance as the 29th article vas in tkose times con• sidered to be. Bennett did not assert that there was, on ,he 29th of May, 1571, when Parliament dissolved, a book containing the 29th article. Whit that authority con tended for was that Parliament, when it separated, knew that the Convocation intended to print such a book, and that, therefore, the article had a binding authority. That position was, however, wholly untenable, and the only in ference could be that the article was put in by the Queen's authority. In windiag up kis elatorate and intricate ar gument the learned counsel observed that the penalty of the 13th of Elizabeth could not fairly be visited on his client for the misinterpretation of an article which the whole current of authority showed never to have belonged to that statute. He deliberately defied any judicial mind calmly to weigh the authorities on the subject and not admit—whichever way the balance of evidence might in cline—that there was the greatest possible doubt whether the 29th article was, or was not, in the book referred to by the,statute of Elizabeth. He might say it was demonstrable that that article was not in the book, but he would content himself with taking lower ground and saying that there was at least the greatest doubt upon the point; and he put it to the Court with confidence that this most severe penal sta tute ought not to be awakened from its sleep of ages—not against a clergymen claiming to hold doctrines opposed to the articles of the church, but against one who said he advisedly maintained and was ready to subscribe all those articles—against one who said, bona fide, " I think this a correct interpretation of the articles of the Church of Eng land ; and, if I err, I err in the company of the greatest divines of that church." To defy all the high authorities he had cited on this question, and to smite such a man with a sentence of deprivation, would be to act in contravention of the spirit, and, he humbly but boldly added, in contra vention also of the letter, of the statute. A short adjournment then took place. On the return of his Grace and the assessors into court, Dr. Lushington said—Dr. Bayford, his Grace will hear you. Dr. Bayford then rose, and, after expressing some sur prise that all the arguments had not been exhausted on the former occasions, observed that he now found an argument had been omitted which had been embodied in a protest, and which had now been elaborately brought before the Court Numerous references had been made to Bennett and to Dr. Lamb, but nothing had been advanced from Cardwell, who was an equally eminent authority. Without pretending to any of the research of his learned friend he had anticipated that the point now brought forward would be raised, and was prepared to have dealt with it on the last occasion. Before proceeding to answer the arguments which had been adduced he would refer to the protest of the venerable archdeacon, respecting which Dr. Phillimore had said very little. This was a proceeding under articles by authority of the 36th canon as well as under the 13th of Elizabeth, and that canon, it was admitted, embraced the 29th article. Objection was taken that the archdeacon had maintained doctrine contrary to the articles of the Church of England, agreed upon by the Convocation of 1662, and the words upon which the article was founded were taken from the 36th canon, and not from the statute of Elizabeth, which was only referred to in the next article of the suit, as pointing out the punishment to be inflicted if the case of the promoter were made out. This dis tinction prevailed throughout the articles which had been drawn up in the suit. It was true that it was a proceed ing under the statute of Elizabeth, but it also charged a breach of the articles as certified by the canon, about which there could bo no dispute. fauppesing it were made out, that the articles under which the offence was alleged were not the articles referred to by the statute of Elizabeth, his learned friend had not attempted to show what would be the result of establishing that fact. He totally ignored the articles recognised by the 36th canon. Supposing, again, that the 29th article was got rid of, no doubt the finding of the Court was that the archdeacon had preached doctrines contrary and repugnant to the 38th and 29th articles, and about the 28th article there was not a shadow of doubt that it was included iu the statute of Elizabeth. Th e pro. test blinked the real question, and made no reference to the fact that the Court had deliberately expressed an opi nion that the archdeacon' was guilty of preaching doctrine contrary to the 28th article; but if the case were exactly as Dr. Phillimore had argued it, it would only amount to this, that the archdeacon was guilty of preaching doctrine con trary to one instead of two articles. He Was, consequently, undoubtedly amenable to punishment, and the only effoot the protest could have would be to omit all reference to the 29th article in the sentence passed by the Court. The real, true matter at issue in the cause remained untouched by the seemedprotest t and o a amount ntth to e thi this, that,argument of Dr. Phillimore, under the Eliza beth,su there were only 31 articles. The matter thus seemed to be reduced to a rule of arithmetic. tatt of w hicli Dr. Phillimore said under the statute of Elizabeth the articles were not numbered. He would take this opportunity of asking whether the Court would now allow Dr. Bayford for the first time to say that this proceeding was founded upon the 36th canon as well as upon the 13th of Elizabeth ? Dr. Lushington could not advise his Grace to stop Dr. Bayford after Dr. Phillimore had been allowed to put in and argue his protest. Dr. Bayford resumed, and pointed out that in the little book referred to by Dr. Lambe, and which had been so much relied upon, there were only 37 articles enu merated ; and he asked what number of articles the clergy were required to subscribe in the time of Eliza beth so as to arrive at identification. He cited cases to show that the recognised number of articles in that time was 39, and he challenged his friend to point out any number which had been subscribed from 1571 to the present time. On the authority of " Comyn'a Digest " he argued that, under the statute of Elizabeth, 39 was the number of articlei, and if that were so it was clear that the little book referred to by Dr. Lambe, which con tained only 37 articles, was not the one which was an nexed to the statute. He produced copies of the Articles published in 1571, corresponding in every particular with those now in use with" the exception of the omission of that demi-semi article of which so much had been said by his learned friend. Dr. Lushington—What is the " demi•eemi article ?" Dr. Bayford—The first, sentence or paragraph of the 20th article. There was no pretence for saying that from the time the statute of Elizabeth came into operation the 29th article did not form one of the 39 which the clergy were required to subscribe. After going over the history of the Articles, and especially that of the 29th, as detailed in Dr. Lambe's book, Dr. Bayford argued that at the time the statute of Elizabeth was passing the Houses of Convo cation were engaged in drawing up those articles which it was understood upon all hands should be made binding by and annexed to the statute. Dr. Phillimore asked permission to reply on the new matter urged by Dr. Bayford. Dr. Lushington expressed the concurrence of the Arch bishop, and The Court adjourned till 10 this morning. THE LATE DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. THE INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was opened by Mr. Carter, the coronerof the district, and a respectable jury, taken from the most respectable inhabitants of the neigh bourhood, at the Board-room of the Newington Work house. The room was densely crowded,during the afternoon, and the workhouse was surrounded during the whole of the time by a dense crowd of persons, whom the fright ful nature of the accident had drawn to the spot. Every accommodation was rendered to the represen tatives of the press by Mr. Feist, the governor of the workhouse, and several of the members of the board of guardians were present, and were assiduous in their desire to afford every facility for conducting the inves tigation. Mr. Superintendent Lund readily afforded every infor mation respecting the unhappy affair. Mr. Chester, solicitor to the vestry, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the parish of St. Mary, Newington, with a view of ascertaining from the evi dence it the Music Hall has been erected in accordance with the provisions of the Metropolitan Building Act. Mr. Coppock, and other directors of the gardens, were in attendance, and also Mr. Ellis, the secretary. Before swearing the jury, The Coroner . said that it had been intimated to him that some gentlemen had been summoned on the jury who were connected with the Gardens, and he submit ted that if it were true, it would be better for them to retire. • Mr•. Oliver, a licensed victualler, residing in Penton. street, near the gardens, and Mr. Piggott, a gentleman of independent property, stated they were shareholders, and would, after what had been stated, withdraw. Mr. Piggott said he resided in the neighbourhood, and he had made - inquiries relative to the accident. Ile bad obtained some valuable information. The Coroner said it would be better for him to attend av a witness and give evidence. The two gentlemen then withdrew. The jury baying been sworn consisted of the following gentlemen :—Mr. Edward C. Denner, foreman ; Mr. John Moreland, Mr. Samuel Stevens, Mr. NVilliarn Agar, Mr. George Redfern, Mr. William Bayles, Mr. Wm. Holland, Mr. Sid❑ey Foster, Mr. George Shuttleworth, Mr. R. )bert Way, Mr. Richard Scot';, Mr. James Gar rett, Mr. W. E. Beal, Mr. T. R. Mulcock, and Mr. John Lock. The Coroner Paid that one of the bodies, into the cause of whose death they were to inquire, was lying at Dod dington-grove. By the act of Parliament it was necessary that all the bodies should be viewed by the jury on the first sitting, and he suggested that they should, after viewing the bodies at the dead-house, proceed to Doddington-grove and view the body of Grace Skepper. By so doing much time and trouble would be saved, otherwise a second inquiry must be held to in quire into the cause of her death. The Jury assented to this course of proceeding, and it was aloe arranged that they should view the Music. ball before they returned. The Coroner said that he hoped they would enter on the inquiry, divested of anything they had heard or read on the subject, and confine their attention to the evi• dence that would be adduced as to when, how, and by what means the unfortunate individuals came by their death. There were many rumours afloat as to the cause thereof, to which it would be improper for him to refer, and the object would be to ascertain the cause of the calamity, and if any person or persons were legally responsible for it, The jury then retired to view the bodies in the dead.hnuse. Their appearance was of the most appalling description, and an involuntary shudder of horror per vaded the jurors on seeing so many persons lying dead before them. Their faces were discoloured and swollen to an extraordinary size, and decomposition had set in in mai,y cases. The following is a list of the names of the killed Grace Skepper, 54 years of age, married woman, lying. dead at Doddington-grove. Harriet Johnson, 20 years of age, single woman. Harriett Barlow, 30 years of age, single woman. Elizlbeth Mead, 43 years of age, of Stockwell, mar ried woman. Harriett Matthew, 16 years of age, single woman. Samuel Herd, .24 years of age, of Alie-street, Ber mondsey New-rOad--all in the dead-house. They were absent about an hour and a half. On theit return the following evidence was adduced : John Heard, tanner, No. S, Allie-street, Bermondsey, identified the body of Samuel Heard, who, he stated, was his brother, and said—l went with him to the Surrey Gardens on Sunday evening to hear Mr. Spurgeon. We arrived there at 10 minutes before six, and went into the first gallery. Ten minutes or a quarter of an hour after the service began I heard a dreadful confusion, and on inquiring what. was the cause, some one about me said, " a supposed fire." We all made a rush to get to the staircase. I lost sight of my brother, and never saw him alive atter I first heard the confusion. He had been pre viously standing close to me. I saw no appearance of fire, and I do not know in what part of the building the alarm first took place. I fell do /in the stairs, not over them. The pressure was very great, and a number of people fell upon me. A. policeman pulled me out after wards, and pulled off my boot in doing so. We were almost close to the door when the alarm was raised. It was the pressure from behind that forced me down. The gallery was very full where we were, but there was room to pass between us and the wall. Police-constable Varney, P 333, said—l was on duty on Sunday night in Penton-place, at the main entrance to the Surrey Gardens. After the alarm I went into the Music-hall. When the hall was nearly cleared I went on the leads of an adjoining building, where I was in formed these were two or three bodies, and there saw the deceased man,Heard and two women. He was lying on his back and appeared be dead. With the assistance of others I removed him through the window to the bot tom of the staircase, and he was there examined by Dr. 0 sway. Susannah Heard—l am wife of William Heard, cousin of the deceased Samuel Heard. I accompanied him and John Heard, my husband, and my little boy, to the Surrey Gardens on Sunday evening. We all went into the first gallery and stood behind the back seats, about two yards from the door. About 20 minutes after Mr. Spurgeon came there was a rush made to the door by tbwe in the gallery. It appeared first to come from the gallery above us. We were pressed on. I did not see 6aluuel, the deceased, after the first rush. I and my husband and my little Loy got out of the window at the top of the stairs on to the leads of a portion of the build ing, and tried to get away that way, but could not, and we returned. My husband and my little boy were the first t get out of the window. There were no persons laid on the leads then. When we returned there were four or five persona lying on the leads apparently dead. I did not then see that Samuel Heard was one of those that were lying there. One of the men that were lying there C 9 .119 not quite dead. I thi n k th a t the persons who were lying there must have been put there by the policemen. When we were on the stairs we could not get up or d mil. Policemen were at the bottom and no one could get by. We could not move up or down, and the people were getting over our backs. The banisters were then broken. My cousin Samuel must have lost his life on the staircase below the window. My husband was tiruised, and has not worked since. When the bannisters broke one of my legs hung over; and I was near falling over, Thu people from the upper galleries kept jumping [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD. over us. They came over our shoulders. My shoulders are quite sire with people jumping over them. Albert Fullagar—l any a writer and grainer, and live in Great Carter lane, Doctors'-commons. I was one of the collectors at the south-east entrance of the Hall, opposite to the staircase where the banisters fell. I had just sent a gentleman, a reporter of the Chronicle, upstairs, and was looking up to see if he was going right, when he was driven back by a rush and pushed down, and, in his fall, he knocked me down. There was a rush from the body of the hall ; they came towards my entrance, and a gentleman smashed open the door. I was forced away. I got under the stairs and into the body of the hall, and made my way to the opposite stair case. I saw a boy fall from the banisters. I picked him up. I saw a number of people on the stairs. One of them was dead. I got over the people and passed up the stairs. I saw persons laid down on the first stone landing of the stairs. I picked up two females. They were both insensible, and were lying on their faces. One of them is Harriet Johnson, one of the deceased women, and the other was her sister. I took the one that is alive out and laid her on the grass outside. Harriet Johnson I left on the stairs. I saw a man lying on his back on the same landing, and his leg up the stairs. He was insensible. I raised him up and put him against the window, and some person took him of me, and laid him on the leads. The person I so raised was the man Samuel Heard. They were enabled to get him out of the window by the people ceasing to press forward when we told them the banisters had given way. They gave way while I was carrying one of the young women out. There were twelve or fourteen persons fallen down upon the landing one upon another, and the people behind could not get over them. The stairs below were clear. Persons were attempting to descend by the rails, and others were slid ing down the pillars. I did nos see any one fall ever after the banisters broke. I saw a woman hanging over, held only by a person who had hold of her round the waist. I have no knowledge of what gave rise to the rush. The newspapers have it that the boy who fell was dead, but be was not. He was taken home, and was not so much hurt as was thought. Mr. George Matthews, of 22, Bridge House-place, Newington-causeway, clerk in the office of the Poor Law Commissioners, identified Harriet Matthews, one of the deceased, as his sister, and stated that he last saw her alive at five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, at his resi dence. She said she was going to hear Mr. Spurgeon. She was to be accompanied by her sister and a friend.

I do not believe my sister had any motive in calling out that the pace was falling.

Went into the first gallery, and saw the deceased, Mrs. Skipper, wham I knew. The place was very full, and we stood. We were not more than two yards from the door. Had been there about a quarter of an hour when I heard a rush, and thought the galleries were falling. I was very much alarmed, and screamed. A great number of other persons also screamed. They were about me. Mrs. Skipper took me by the hand and led me to the staircase. When I got on the staircase, I heard the cry of fire and the smashing of glass. There were a great many persons de scending the stairs besides me, both before and behind. I lest sight of Mrs. Skipper, and did not see her again till I saw her laid dead on the grass outside the building. I was much bruised. I did not fall. As I descended, I did not see any persons who had fallen down. When I came into the staircase, I did not see any person coming from the upper gallery. I first screamed when I was on the stairs, from being pressed against the wall. I believe Mrs. Skipper lost her life by suffocation. A juryman said, before they adjourned he wished to ask whether it was true that after the alarm, and after these poor persons bad been killed, a collection was made! Mr. Woods said the collecting boxes were handed round by some persons, but not by the authority of any person belonging to the chapel. There was only about 81. collected, and that would be distributed among the sur viving sufferers. ..., A person said he W 29 one of the collectors, and held a collecting box at one of the doors, but he was not aware at the time that any one bad been killed. The inquest was then adjourned until Friday mornin, The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times :-- "Sir,—l have read your leading article as well as the additional particulars in the Times of to-day in reference to the 'accident at the Surrey Music -hall on Sunday evening. I was not only an eye-witness of what took place,but one of those knocked down and trampled upon, though fortunately without sustaining any parti cular irjury and as it appears to me that in both of the articles in the Times of to-day Mr. Spurgeon is unjustly blamed for attempting to continue the service after the occurrence of the accident, I venture to ask your inser tion of these few lines for the purpose cf exonerating the rev gentleman from blame in the matter. " When the alarm was given and the first rush took place I could not help being borne by the crawd towards the door ; but a number of people (men and womer) having fallen, I was knocked down over them, the crowd continuing to pass over us and over those who fell upon us. "I fortunately had a stout stick with me, which, having planted against the floor, close by the wall of the passage, enabled me w i t h my r i g h t arm , my l e ft res ti ng on the floor, to keep from pressing too closely against the faces of two women who were under me, and who appeared al ready almost suffocated. The door near where we had fallen having been got closed by the police, which stop ped the crowd from pressing over us, we were is a short time relieved from our unfortunate position, and enabled to get up. " I returned to within 30 feet of the platform, as I found that the clergyman and the congregation were en. kt• qf ' .

Another rush im mediately took place to the doom', and I took an oppor tunity of leaving the bu.ddin g by the nor th-east door, where a fewer number of peopl e were moving out, and felt thankful to get out to the gardens, and so to the street.

" I, therefore, think Mr. S,Durgeon acted for the best by attemptin ,, to preach, as Were man be no doubt that it gave confidence to many until a sufficient number were out to enable the others to disperse .more q u i etly. " I have no interest in defending Mr. Spurgeon be yond the cause of truth and justice. I had never seen him nor beard him, nor had I seen the Surrey Music. ball until Sunday evening.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, " Westminster, Oct. 21. 4 f w . s."

SILKS. — Tbe advanced prices of silks having become generally known through the medium of the press, and public atttntinn having furthermore been directed to the !ailnre of the French and Italian crops, we must neces sarily anticipate a still further and scarcely, ca l cu lable rise. There are tho se , i n d eed, who suggest our depen dence upon the supplies of Chinese silk, but it must be taken into consideration that such is only fitted for the manufacture of the coarser kind of corded and :Man chester silks. In the face of thin fearful augmentation in value, Messrs. Jay, of the London General Mourning Warehouses, Regent-street, by reason of the very large stocks they purchased some time prior to the late ad vance, and which was announced at the time, will !cer tainly ha ve an a d vantage over their lesi fortunate corn petitors, and will for Uomertittie at - least be enabled to . supply the public at the old prices.
