MONEY MARK ET AND CITY IVEWS. CITY, Two o'CLooK. 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. In 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 left 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 not 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, 931 for transfer, and 936 for the account, but they are now t. per cent. better, viz., 931 I, and 931 Z- respectively, in conse quence of a few speculative purchases. The New Threes are steady at 90-: 91 1; the Reduced at 90/ 91. Exchequer Bills, March, at ls. dis. to 2s. prem ; ditto, June, at ss. to Bs. prem. ; India 5 per Cent. Loan is flat at 1031 i ; but the New Scrip is firm at 103/. 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 6911 Mexican have fluctuated from 25t- 261 to 251, being flatter ; Grenada are steady at 165 17; Brazilian at 911 ; Spanish at 501; ditto Deferred at 424; and Venezuelan at 201 ; Sardinian are firmer at 811. The transactions in American Securities during the past we(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 Erie Shares. New York Central Shares are steady at 66, and Illinois Construction Bonds at 80." The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1861. 1860.

Eastern Counties advanced £1 ; Great Northerns, 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Mid lands, ss. Caledonians, Great Westerns, and South Easterns declined os. ; 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 27f, ; London Joint Stock to 31f ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam to 67j.

Dissatisfaction with the views of the com p an y in Sc otland as to f u t ure manage ment of the Eng lish business, which is car ried on upon pri nci p les unsuitable, in thei r r oposed to be country, is the alleg ed cause of the disrupt i tnion, for this CAMBRIDGE, SEPT. 24.—Crumen R E , DTG.— The English Lecturer at Corpus Christi Colleg e the usual course of theor etical and practical instruction will give to candidates for holy orders, commencing Tuesday, Bth Oct.

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 1 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, v. ho 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, and 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. (We shall continue the report in our' late edition.) NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CASE OF VINCENT COLLUCC; 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 learned coun sel had asked to take copies, and having carefully perused them, he found they were letters written by the prosecutrix to the prisoner; their contents were of a general character, and did not, in his opinion, at all affect the case ; but, at the same - time, 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 whether 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 the 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, tb.e 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 t.) make any arrangement this session for the next. CHARGE OP 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, when the prisoner, during the absence of her husband on. duty, At. .r. , 1 r -- - rix's sleeping apartm - eht and committed the outrage. The prosecutrix, a very good looking young woman, having repeated the evidence she gave at the Westminster Police conrtovas submitted to a long and minute oross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, with a view to show that she was labouring under 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 charges 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 was labouring under any mental ailment. When I have con sulted Dr. Love he has always 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 he 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. ram 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. Cooper—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 off land manner—and as I was leaving his shop he said something about my crinolige. Mrs. Hearn told me Dr. Love *as 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 statien. When I first saw Mr. Hearn he was 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 his bedroom by Mr. Johnston, her hus- I band. When he came he was but partly dressed. Hearn, when he was told of the charge made against him, said the woman must be a liar. The medical testimony was to the effect that recent inti macy 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 told falsehoods. She has often told me that the person who is now her husband was not in the house when she knew ho 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 case was proceeding when we went to press. 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 primer was cashier in a large mercantile firm in tho 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 trial was proceedinb when we went to press. POLICE iNFELLIG - 'ENCE.—(TIais Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 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 yoang lady 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 18, Spring-street, Manchester square, followed the prisoner, and saw him adroitly throw the bag into a passing omnibus, the deer 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 et.

Calves —the supply of which was tolerably good—met a heavy sale, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs.

At the Bishop's Castle County Court, Salop, on Tuesday, a singular case was tried before Uvedale Corbett, Esq., the judge. The 'plaintiff, Edward Griffiths, brought an action to recover £5O damages from the defend ant Henry Coward, master of the Bishop's Castle National School, for having violently assaulted and beaten Charles Grif fiths, a pupil :in the school. Mr. Woosnam appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Weyman, of Ludlow, for the de fendant. Charles Griffiths, a little boy about 11 years of age, said—l was a scholar at the National School in Bishop's Castle, of which the defendant is the master. On the 24th of May last, when at prayers I spoke to a boy named Addis, but as I saw the master looking at me, I desisted. I did not speak to him again. After prayers myself and two other boys were directed to stay in school. The master then asked who spoke at prayers. I said I had ; he then told me to hold out my hand, and I did so, ami he cut me across with his cane. He told me to hold it out again I complied, but drew it back when he struck me. He then caught hold of me by the neck, and threw me backward across his knee, and beat me across the back with his cane. When the defendant loosed me I fell down insensible. On recovering myself I saw the master was at his desk, and he told me to "be off." I then cr twled along by the wall to the door, and went into the play-ground. I nearly fell down from exhaustion while getting up the steps, when two boys came and helped me up, and assisted me home. My back hurt me very much in walking. My mother took me next day to Mr. Brooks the surgeon, and my back got worse afterwards. Elizabeth Griffiths stated that on the day in question he son (the last witness) came home and told her the school master had been flogging him, that his thumb was out of joint, and he thought his back was broken. She stripped him, and found great weals all round his shoulders, down his back to his thighs, and all over him; he could not eat, and she put him to bed. Fie was afterwards taken to Mr. Brooks, who examined him, and had attended him ever since. For many weeks the boy had been quite disabled. Mr. H. Brooks, the surgeon, proved that he saw the boy the day after he was beaten, when he complained of his thumb ; but witness seeing there was not much the matter, he took very little notice of it. On the 18th of June he found the lad suffering from entire paralysis of the lower extremities. He complained of pain in his back and the lumbar regions and all round his thighs. In his opinion, a violent wrench of the back would so disturb the nervous system, and cause the effects produced. On cross-examina -1 ion, Mr. Brooks said the spinal chord was injured, but he believed mere flogging would not have caused the injury. The defendant was then examined. He stated that the plaintiff was talking and laughing during prayers, and caus ing other boys to do the same. He called him up aft erwa rds and taxed him with it, but he denied it. He asked the boy to hold his hand up and he did so, but flinched every time. He then got the plaintiff by the collar, and cut him a few times across the back with a small cane, but did not take the boy across his knees. Witness flogged the other boys as well. He saw the plaintiff and his mother in the street on the following day, when she complained to him of his having ill used her boy ; and witness then said he was carry, and if he had injured him he was willing to pay the doctor's bill. The Judge said the defendant was perfectly justified in punishing the lad ; and no doubt the unfortunate injury was caused by the wrench, done quite unintentionally. Ho thought the character of the schoolmaster was not in the least affected by the transaction, the injury having been in flicted by him conscientiously in the exercise of his duty. He must, nevertheless, give judgment for the plaintiff. Damages £2O.

In the course of his opening speech, the Chairman made the follow ing important and interesting remarks :—A ward 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 cm 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 Muse 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 threw it out of the window, thus manifesting, in the strongest manner, their disapprobation and contempt. I have been 40 years in Jamaica ; 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 state of matters now; the popular voice is the ruling power in England, and the higher classes tb ere, the proprietary body, are, to a large extent, identified with the people. The highest in the land take the d eepest i nterest 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. BOURN, after a d vert i ng to the state of America, and theimprobabilit y o f E ngland's obtaining an adequate supe - t i I y of cotton from th ence, spoke as follows :—The attention of the English public is directed to Jamaica, among other places, in the hop e th at, 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 company is to be established in this parish. Mr. Bourne then adverted to the movement* 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 palish. Indeed, either cotton or some other cultivation, in addition to what we now have, must be introduced, or it will bo impossible for the population, rapidly increasing,as it is, to procure money to purchase the necessaries which civilisation de mands. 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 ti) other countries, so that we may procure in return cloth ing, tools, and other articles, which we must have, but which we cannot ourselves manufacture. The census 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 rated 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 14,144 persons earn money ? This society last year, at the request of the Jamaica Society of Arts, procured a variety of statis • ties 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 1,435 puncheons of rum, employ 2,760 person- , and the ,0 pens or stock farms,with 6,838 heads of stoel , em ploy 377 person, making together 3,137 laboure* who are paid wages. Now, ded uc t thi s number from 4,144 able t o work,and you find th a t 11,007 persons me ~ve wages and de pend for their living on growing yam -dnd making sugar for themselves. But there a re o n ly „lout 300 small sugar mills, producing about 1,100 barrel, of sugar. It would be a very liberal allowance to tout , that 1,000 persons may be em ployed. Now this be;Lig 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 extr,,vagant or beyond their ability—would not the parish be 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 vvuail uvt be la junta. 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 and persistence than many of them are now accustomed to do. Such, at all events, is ourdesire and hope in the mattes. (Applause,) Ido not know so much of the other parishes ; but generally speaking, I believe that their condition resem bles our own more orless. 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 hangs the fate of the island. If our rulers have sufficient enlightenment, courage, and patriotism to solve it properly, Jamaica 'A 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 who 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 prosperity 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 class 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 an ample reward." No one stirs in the matter of the application of this wasting power of industry to a useful purpose. FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIS.7: MAILS DUE.

ALLAN RAMSAY THE PAINTER AND MS PUPIL.- The painter to King George 111. was evidently sinking. Yet be lingered for some years —a shattered invalid. Again he visited Rome, leaving his pupil P.,einagle to complete his long list of Royal commissions. Reinagle's style was so admirably imitative of his masterr'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 I 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 I.)REAnFUL ItAILIV A CAT AS TROPHE 114" MISSOURI: FURTHER PARTICULARS. (Froda the St. Louis Republican, Sept. 7.) From Mr. A M. Hager, baggage-master on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway, we learn vely interesting additional particulars of the'terrible catastrophe at little Platte Bridge, on that road on mlti T aohar u cegio e l em s s d aog a nto y i night last. The train consisted of the dva Californiane wt a i to n y oai t nsf e ae n eix d ni ,pegrrea,erso express oma e aga f : r tth e at ee i g g ere: h htcTaacia There l eog o ne a wt d eae e nri d nedi fn ey wr.g . oi way 85 to 100 persons' ladies T he and tra children.train reached on board, many of them being the bridge where th e aw f u l disaster occurred a t fifteen minutes after'll o'clock p.m., running 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 16') 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 info which to precipitate a mass of humanity. Before narrating incidents of the accident, it may he here stated that the torch of the incendiary had been applied underneath the bridge, burning the timbers below the track. After the fire had pro• greased 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 suchbrightness as th e s t ars 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 q u i c k san d, the water in the str eam being about a foot and a half in depth. The freight ear 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. Rhpidly 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 a"-1 shoved in front, carrying men, women , ,tnbs, o (laenrdettr thildrreonwiinngathpermomoiust of the cars the of e - cous heap down the .clivity, and b urying them echrelloseghehdth i e broken sides. .Tagged pi eces impaled some ; some were mangled amongt of flooring by maetinery 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 all over 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, threemai ndte there of e was not superintendent of the U n it e d St ates E xpress; Mr. Waus, mail agent ; and Mr. H ager — were able to afford assistance 0 ea t s h s. n e ot suffering, Bseosmi de s es these the remainder into j ur After y. those who were not killed outright being so dis abled as to be he cane g 7 . all that it we e eeere„l:ee for th , e requiring immediate attenuance, Mr. m u er, at midnight, left the wreck to go to St. . - emeph, 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 which ho 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 seen the alarm was spread throughout the city. Although it was one o'clock at night, 75 itten, including all the physicians in the neighbourhood, had quickly volunteered their se.vices to go to the relief of the sufferers. A locomotive was promptly filed up, and at half-past 3 o'clock the train, comprising three flat cars and a passenger coach, was at the scene of the occident with blankets, sheets, and every other article that might be of The wounded had all emerged from the wreck, and were lying on the banks and upon a sandbar in the river. wane the physicians moved around among the. injured, attended by squads of the citizens of St. 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 was despatched to 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. cecded farther. Between Osburn and Stewartsville, on Smith's branch, or 16 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 bank, 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 of his employer, M. Bruneau, a dealer in trimmings, residing in the Rue de la Fidelite, at Paris. The court was crow d e d to hear this trial, as it ,was known that M. Bruneau had discovered an adulterous interenurse between the accused and Madame Bruneau, ancl 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 1,800 f., whi c h w as a ft erw a r ds inc rease d. M. Bruneau, in November last, went to Lyons, and during his absence the business was managed by Madame Bruneau and the prisoner. While at Lyons he received an anonymous letter informing him of his wife's misconduct with Thevenin. He returned suddenly, and took measures for proviA n ig the fact of the adultery, but without succes s. had Bruneau was nevertheless convinced t hat he . his fidelity • him in one respect he began to doubt in been correctly informed, and as his clerk had deceived others. He accordingly employed a person to exa mine his account-books, and great irregularities were discovered, the object of which was to conceal speciaem bezzlements amounting to abo u t 20 , 0 00 f. On search ing the prisoner's lodging s many articles were found belonging t o to th oB uniformru nea u of an olffily a r ce , e National l onal be longing Guard, Whi c h h ad been taken from his iron chest of go l t d h e t by the aid of false keys. There were also several love-letters and a lock of hair marked " Marie Brune---," which left no doubt ad' to the prisoner's relations with Madame Bruneau. The evidence given on the trial was very contradictory, and 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. Madame Bruneau in giving her evidence admitted her guilty rela tions ~ with the accused. The prisoner, in his de, fence, declared that he had deposited 9,000 francs in the hands of Bruneau without taking anY receipt for the sum, thinking it sufficient to bl o v_e the deposit entered in the ledger. ' No mer.a of any suchsum could be, found in the books!, a, nu t bad the prisoner declared that the loaf containin , g f- ae l posed been torn out by Bruneau.
