Last evening a numerous meeting of the electors of Lambeth took place at the Horns Tavern, Ken. nington, to hear Mr. Doulton, one of the members, make re statement of his views and opinions in re spect to the course which he had pursued during the last session of . Parliament. Amongst the gen _--- tlemen on the platform wo noticed Mr. Webber, a member of the Common Council of the city of Lon don; Mr. Potter, and other influential electors who take, an active part in the politics of Lambeth. Mr. lames Pew was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN having briefly stated the object of the meeting, Mr. DALTON presented himself to the meeting, and was received with loud cheers. He said that when be last appeared before them he told them it was his opinion that the days of Parliament were numbered, and that if they had not soon a new Parliament they must soon have a new Ministry. Neither of these events, however, had taken place, and the Ministry now seemed to be in a much stronger position than they had been in heretofore. (Hear, hear.) He also said on that occasion that it was of little consequence to the country whether it was the Earl of Derby or Lord Palmerston that was in power. He had, however, changed his opinion on that subject, and he was induced to do so in consequence of the conduct which the Conser vatives had pursued in the course of the last ses sion. (Hear, hear.) In considering the business of Parliament, they were to look as much to what had been wisely left un done as to what had been done, and he must say that if he looked to the session as a whole, he could not subscribe to the opinion—nor did he believe the people of this country were of that opinion—tliat it was a barren and unprofitable one. Nor was it the man that talked most that was to be considered the most ueeful member of the House of Commons, for they were to recollect that there was a great deal of the business of the, House of Commons that was per formed in committees of that house, and of which the public knew really nothing. Let them take, for instance, the private business of the house. Daring the last session there were 350 private acts of Parliament passed, all of which occupied the attention of members for many days in committee, and all members were obliged in their turn to serve on those committees. He might mention the fact in reference to this matter that Lord Stanley sat on one committee every day the house sat, until a shot while before the close of the session. (Hear.) He thought he saw some persons smile, and who seemed to say, " Oh, it's very well for you to talk about sit ting in committees, but then you are paid for doing so." Well, he had sat upon many committees. He never could find out the source from which such payments were made, and certainly if such things had occurred he thought he was likely to know something about them. (Laughter.) Ho had made these observations for the purpose of showing that the labour and duty of a' ember of Parliament were not always to be found in the columns of the daily journals. (Hear, hear.) But he would pass from the private to the public business of the House of Commons. In the course of the session of Parlia. merit they were in the habit of having a budget introduced in the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and cer tainly not one had been introduced of late years that had been so satisfactory as that brought for ward during the last session. (Hear, hear.) That budget was in itself sufficient to redeem the session from the charge of its being a barren and unpro fitable one. Until the last four or five years the ex penditure of the:country had gone on increasing, and indeed it was felt that as the country was increasing year by year in wealth, that we must expect to find the expenditure to increase also. (Hear, hear.) In the year 1859 the expenditure of the country had increased to £72,000,000 ; since that time it had decreased to £67,000,000 ; and during that time taxes had been remitted to the public to the extent of L 10,000,000 or £12,000,000. The budget of last session was based upon a diminished expend diture, while at the same time taxation was reduced consistent with the feelings and wishes of the public, for the duty on tea and the duty on sugar were lowered, and there was also a reduction of the income tax. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that the Government would con tinue to pursue this course, and the best security for their doing so was to keep the present Chancellor of the Exchequer in power. (Hear, hear.) Amongst the measures introduced by the Government for the benefit of the people was that relating to the Government power of in suring lives. He owned that when that measure was first introduced he looked upon it with great suspicion, but subsequent investigation of the sub ject induced him to come to the conclusion that it was a wise and prudent measure, and one well cal. culated to prove highly beneficial to those for whose advantage it had been introduced into Parliament. (Hear, hear.) But he must say that even if it did not operate advantageously in the way intended, it was still a good measure in another direction, for it stimulated the working classes of the country to look into the constitution and working of those in. stitutions with which they were connected in the form of benefit societies, and which, if properly con. ducted, were well calculated to promote the social welfare of those who subscribed to them. He did not mean to say for a moment that as a whole these institutions were not properly conducted—quite the contrary ; but when he saw frequently in the public papers applications made to magistrates on account of the defalcations of persons connected with the societies in question, he thought that any measure which induced the working classes to carefully consider the nature and character of these societies, and the laws relating to there, was one that well merited the approval of the public. (Hear.) In the course of the session they had three great party fights, and if in any one of them the Opposition had been successful the Government must have resigned. To be sure, the Opposition denied that they were party fights, but they were so notwithstanding this denial. (Hear, hoar.) These three fights were the Stausfeld case, the Cape Coast Islands disaster, and the war in Denmark. With regard to the Cape Coast disaster, the Opposition failed to show that the Government wore liable for that disaster, for it was proved to be one of those accidents which ree stilted from those little wars, which the Conserva tives would have carried on had they been in power, as well as the present Government. He called such a war as the Ashantee war a little one, as regards its issue, while it entailed great expenditure on the country and caused a great loss of life. (Hear.) if the policy of the Opposition had been to get rid of such wars, he would have supported that policy. But Lord Derby's Government, if it had been in power, would have done exactly as Lord Palmer ston's Government bad done in the matter, and if this were so, why should he (Mr Doulton) transfer the reins of power from. the hands of one noble lord to those of another, when no great principle of public policy was to be solved by it. (Hear.) But they had another party fight, and one in which he felt that nothing could be more humiliating to the House of Commons—he alluded to that which arose out of the Stansfeld case. (Hear.) When he saw the great aristocratic party of the House of Commons condescending to make a party fight of such a case, he must own he never felt so much ashamed of a party as he did on that oceasion. And why so? Be cause there were not 20 men in the House who had believed that Mazzini was an advocate for assassina tion, and there were not two in the House who felt that Mr Stansfeld was an advocate or a supporter of such a line of conduct. (Hear, hear.) .He (Mr Doul ton), knew well enough the Conservatives were hungering for office, for he saw it in their faces — (laughter)—but few thought these gentlemen would lend themselves to an attack upon Mr Stansfeld in the hope that by doing so they would turn out the Government. (Hear, hear.) But what led to this attack upon that hon. gentleman? Why, because he was not a member of that charmed circle from which men were selected to fill places in the Goa vernment—because in fact he was merely a middle class man—(hear) —for when he was referred to he was designated as Mr Stansfeld the brewer, as if he were less of a statesman from the fact of his being only a respectable tradesman. (Hear, hear.) They all knew the result of the party contest—the Go vernment were not beaten, but Mr Stansfeld, from a high and dignified sense of honour, retired from the position which he held in the Government. (Hear, hear,) The hon. gentleman then referred to the war in Denmark, and said he possibly might differ from many of his constituents in his views as regarded the conduct of the Government on this subject, If the British Government had in the first instanceknown how France proposed to act, or what was the line which Russia intended to pursue in the matter, then possibly it might have taken a dife ferent course from that which it had adopted. Ile did not mean to say the Government made no mis take in this matter. On the contrary he thought it did make a great mistake; but what was that mis take ? It was in trusting France upon the occasion. The mistake which England made was in believing that he who made his way to the thron3 of France by the grossest means—(a cry of No, a few hisses, and ultimately loud cheers)—would have come for ward to assist England to uphold Denmark against the Powers that joined to oppress her. (Hear, hear.) If the gentleman who said " No" would come upon the platform he would be glad to discuss the question at issue with him. (Hear, hear.) He said it was a mistake to trust such a man as the Emperor of the French to carry out a promise which he had made, unless indeed it was his interest to do so. (Hear, hear.) It was said that the Government first bullied the Powers opposed to Denmark, and that it then adopted a different mode of expression in subsequent despatches. It was true that this was so, but the fourth communication of the British Government to Prussia and Austria Ras based upon the assumption that all the parties to the Treaty of 1852 would have abided by that treaty. Such, how ever, turned out not to be the case, for France and Russia backed out of their engagements, and hence the altered tone in the despatches of the British Minister on the subject. (Hear, hear.) But what did the British Government next do ? Why, they proposed a Conference with the view of bringing about a peace. The Conference failed, but was the Government to blame for that ? Certainly not ; but a party fight took place on the subject- Well, what was the issue to be tried ? Not that the Govern ment had done wrong; but what would have been the policy of the Conservatives in the matter if they had been in power ? The Opposition, however, would not abide by that issue. Their answer to this question was in reality this—" Places first, policy afterwards." (Hear, hear, and laughter.) And here he would observe that a change of M inistr y was rather an expensive thing to the co untr y —for they had not only to pay the new me n w ho came in, but they had to pension many of those who went out. (Hear, hear.) Such was the case with Lord Chancellors and Secretaries of Stat e ; and he found that they were paying £50,000 a year for retiring Lord Chancellors, Secretaries of State, and the like. They had been blesse d or cursed —he could not say which—with a Lord C hancellor in the person of Lord Chelmsford. ( A lau g h.) Well, he did not know what measure that noble lord had passed in the Lords to entitle him to a pen sion of £5,000 a year, but he . at present enjoyed that sum. (Hear.) Then, again, he found that Mr Disraeli had a pension of £2,000 a year for his past services as Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear.) It was true that he deserved his pension very much better than Lord Chelmsford—(hear) --but still the fact was so, that a change of Ministry was a con siderable cost to the country. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman then referred to the debates which had taken place on the Ballot and on Reform—in the case of Mr Locke King's motion for a reform in the county franchise, and on that of Mr Baines's m otion for a reduction of the bo rou g h franchise . On the occasion o f the debate on the latter sub j ect they had a sp eech from the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, whic h was of a hi g hl y important chum ter, but which in effect sent the whole q uestion 01 reform the g in h t t o act uphoan it nds.o(fHtehaer.r He op would people, not , in order that f ur ther touch upon th is to p ic, as he intende d to give the electors of Lambeth an opportunity of consider ing the whole o f that question, There w as only one other question to which he would refer, namely, that relating to the preservation of the commons and open spaces in and around the metropolis. It was a most important social question, and he was gratified that the House of Commons affirmed the motion which he had made on that subject. He was not sanguine enough to hope that any immediate action would be taken by the house on the subject,but he hoped next year to get a committee to sit upon it, and he hoped to obtain a favourable result from that committee. He had now only to thank them for the kind sympathy which they had shown him when he was ill in the course of the last session, and to assure them that his great desire Was to perform his duty as their representative with zeal and fidelity in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Mr. FREEMAN then moved, and Mr. WALLACE seconded, the following resolution :—" That this meeting desires to express its thanks to Frederick Doulton, Esq., i s tp„ for his services during the past sessiou, and its unebated confidence in him as one of the representatives of the borough of Lam beth in the Commons House of Parliament." Both gentlemen expressed their admiration of the man ner in which Mr. Doulton had performed his duty as the representative of the borough in Parliament, and said that although they did not subscribe to all his views and opinions as expressed that evening, they yet felt that upon the whole he was the truthful exponent of the political opinions of the great body of the electors of that influential borough.- (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then unanimously adopted. Mr. G. M. MURPHY then proposed :—" That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby ten dered, to Frederick Doulten, Esq.,MY., for ob taining the opinion of the House of Commons on the 28th of June last—' That it is the duty of her Majesty's Government to provide for the preserva- Naval and Military Intelligence. The demand for silks in Paris has increased con siderably since the autumn set in. The raw material at the same time has become scarce in the south of France, and were it not for the large supply re ceived from the East many mills would have been closed. There was scarcely any raw silk offered for sale at the last markets of Romans and Valence. The little that was exhibited sold for from 68f to 72f the kilogramme. The millowners in the de partments of the Drome and the Ardeche are work ing chiefly with silk imported from Broussa-Bengal and Chine. Five hundred kilogrammes of cocoons from Calamat a were sold at Marseilles on Friday at 22f the kilogramme, and four bales of spun silk from Syria at 85f the kilogramme. The fall in the price of raw cotton, especially Egyptian, has produced an unfavourable effect ire the cotton manufacturing districts. There was scarcely any business transacted at Mulhausen last week in consequence of the unfavourable accounts received from abroad. Manufacturers ware prepared to make a large reduction in their prices, but they could find no buyers. The fell in the price of cotton cloth within the last six weeks may be estimated at 10c the yard. and at if the kilogramme on thread. The cotton market at Havre was quiet on Saturday and prices declining, with few buyers. Madras was quoted at 185 f; 1,400 bags were sold on Friday, of which 864 were for immediate delivery. Louisiana is quoted at 330 f; good ordinary Egyptian, 300 f; Peruvian, 324 f; Brazilian, 320 f; Tinevelly, 210 f ; Scinde and Kurrachee, 150 f; Bengal, 150 f; Chins, 185 f. The stock of cotton at Havre is 60,000 bags, of which 1,500 bags are American. Naplouse cots ton was quoted at Marseilles on Saturday at 190 f. The operative bookbinders of Paris have handed to their employers a petition, bearing 400 signa tures, praying t hat their day's work may be reduced from 12 to 10 hours, and that their wages should be fixed at the present pay. They also demand that overtime shall be paid at an increr se of 25 per cult. It was not easy to effect sales in the Paris corn market last week, in consequence of the d.fficulties millers find in disposing of their flour. The pro. vincial corn markets were likewise quiet, farmers being detained at home in sowing their winter crops and in completing the vintage. There was a large quantity of flour of the six marks sold in Paris last week for delivery in January, at 50f the sack of 157 kilogrammes. It is remarked that the difference between the price of flour for immediate delivery and for time does not exceed 2f the sack, which is not sufficient to defray the expense of storage. The official quotation on Saturday afternoon is 48f 23c the sack of 157 kilogrammes for delivery. The fac tors declared on Saturday 200 sacks of flour, sold for delivery within 30 days, at 48f. the sack. The demand for wine improved considerably last week, both at Bercy and at the enirepot on the Quai St. Bernard. The arrival of new wine is said to be the cause of this improvement. As soon as a boat laden with sweet wine arrived at Bercy the entire cargo was disposed of in less than an hour. Hackney coaches, cabs, and every description of vehicle were in demand, and it was a curiosity to see each buyer carry away his one or more barrels triumphantly, as if he had accomplished some won. derful feat of arms. There is no change in the price of brandy. Spie rite of wine were less firm on Saturday. beetroot spirit, good quality, 90 degrees, is quoted 77f. th e hectolitre. The Independant de Saintes states that the pro duce of the vintage in the Gironde is greater than any yet experienced. There are vineyards which have produced 150 hectolitres the hectaire (24 acres.) The proprietor finds it difficult to procure hands to gather the grapes. He labours under another difficulty—his supply of casks is not suffi cient for all his wine. The consequence is that an enormous quantity of wine has been lost this year. In the best establishment for making wine there is not time to press the grapes sufficiently, while in most others the residuum is thrown away with the juice still dropping from it. The vintage has been accomplished in the de partment of the Gera in excellent conditions. The produce, with the exception of vineyards damaged by hail, will be excellent, both in regard to quantity and quality. The Journal des Landes says that the vintage in that department has been more abundant than was generally expected, thanks to the mild rain which fell - for several days previous to the grapes being gathered. The Medoeain gives an excellent account of the vintage in the Medoc. It says that the favourable weather produced the best results. The produce is fully oneethird greater than that of last year, and the satisfaction of the wine growers is increased by the certainty that the quality will be excellent. A traveller in the Drome writes that there is every reason to expect a fall in the price of wine, inasmuch as grapes for pressing are being sold at from 6f. to 10f. the 100 kilogrammes. The pro■ duce in the Charente Inferienre will be much greater than was expected six weeks since. The wines have produced one-sixth more than last year. The quality of the wine will be good, perhaps a little less dry than that of last year in consequence of the last rain, but it will, nevertheless, be excel. lent and much sought for. The accounts from the Roussillon are not of so satisfactory a character. They state that the pro duce will not be more than half that of last year. The vintage in the department of the Basses Aipes is very productive, and grapes, which were sold lest year at 12f. and 13f. the 100 kilogrammes, are now selling for Bf. and 91' . The rain, which fell opportunely in the depart ment of the Dordogne previous to the vintage im. parted to the earth the moisture of which it was so long deprived. It was aided by gentle heat, so favourable to the growth of fruit. Toe temperature was precisely what vinedressers call vintage weather, a transition between the heat of departing summer and the cold of approaching winter. In fact, every change combined to give strength to the vine, and to give wine of excellent quality. A celebrated physician residing at Metz has written a treatise on the medicinal qualities of wine, in which he states that, considering wino in the point of view of the mineral salts, which it contains in a large quantity, such as potash, soda, lime, mag nesia, iron, manganese, chlorides, sulphates, cakbo- The extraordinary report relative to the turret ship Royal ;iovereign,referred to in the " Naysl and Military Intelligence" of the San of yesterday, proves to be correct in all its anticipations, an order having been received by the chief authorities of Portsmouth Dockpard to p sy the ship out of com mission, and place her in the first-class steam reserve at that pert. Parliament is not sitting, and the chief members of our political Board of Admiralty are away on their combined business and pleasure trip to Malts,and,comequently, no reasons can ba given officially for this seemingly inexplicable proceeding with regard to England's first turret-ship; but the facts remain, nevertheless, for public consideration and discussion. The Royal Sovereign has been bat a very short time in commission. She is a vessel of an entirely novel class, and one that from recent American naval operations we are deeply interested in testing in every respect. Her orew have not been together long enough yet to learn their turret gun exercise sufficiently to take the ship into action. The ship herself has not been tested either in her behaviour in a seaway or in the working of her turrets and guns further off the land than in Port. land-race. Her officers have been put each to some £5O expense in joining the ship for an ordinary term of commission ; and, in fact, there are a hun dred other cogent reasons against this inexplicable step of putting the ship out of commission. it is openly asserted in naval circles at Portsmouth—and that, too, without distinction of rank or position— that the success of the turret-ship has been so marked that the advocates of the broadside gun principle, now paramount at Whitehall, have caused this order to be issued for the Royal Sovereign to haul down her pennant. _ _ _ The following returns of the trials of the Channel fleet under sail on the Ist, 21st, and 23rd of Sep. tember have been forwarded to us from the fleet :- Sept. 1.-At 2 p.m., up screws and started on star board tack off Berry Head.

Thus the whole result showed the Enterprise gained on the Edgar 220 yards, though in each hour when they had bee❑ near ono another she lost. In the last tack the Edgar fell off three quar ters of a point, giving her on the opposite tack a corresponding gain. During the trials it was found that the Enter prise leaked considerably at the junction with her topsides and armour belt, and Mr Ladd, her builder, has visited the ship to examine and report upon the leak, which is believed by the officers of the squad ron to be very serious. A very strong feeling is expressed in the squadron against officers and men being sent on board quasi ironclads of the Enter prise class, which, they say, are neither watertight, nor shot proof against the despised 68-pounder, nor possessing the speed of a bona fide man-of.war. The screw corvette Cadmue, 21, 400-horse power, was undocked at spring tide at Chatham yesterday afternoon, during a high north-east wind, and safely berthed alonside the floating sheer-hulk Chatham in the harbour abreast the dockyard. During the time the Cadmus has been in dock, a period extending over several months, she has un. dergone a most complete repair, and she is now a first class vessel of the corvette description, ready in all respects for service in any part of the world. She has been furnished with new decks, and the decayed portions of her stern and rudder posts, as well as her stern timbers, have been made gaod ; in addition to this extra knees have been placed to strengthen her deck beams. She has also been fitted with a topgallant forecastle, for the protec tion of her crew in unfavourable weather, and this arrangement will add to the comfort of the men, the Cadmus, as well as most of the corvette class of vessels, being rather down by the head, and there fore very wet during a rough sea. Opportunity has been taken daring the time the Cadmus has been under repair to overhaul her engines and machinery which have been thoroughly repaired, and several defective parts of her boilers made good. She has also been fitted with a new screw propeller of the Griffiths pattern, and the oldeAdmiralty screw re moved. The Cadmus is complete in her rigging, and is now ready to hoist the pendant. The dock yard mechanics were at work on board up to within a few minutes of the corvette leaving the dock, and there is still a trifling amount of work to be executed iu the way of fittiegs to the cabins and painting up The Trade of France. Trade in general is good in Paris, particularly among dealers in articles of luxury. Goldsmiths and jewellers have more customers than they can supply at the moment, and many of them have to wait some time to have their orders executed. Manufacturers of articles de Paris never had a bet. ter season ; painters and gilders on porcelain were never more prosperous. The demand from England contributes to revive the trade in artificial flowers, and to give employment to many hands which were idle during the dead season, Wholesale shoemakers are carrying on a profitable export trade with Mexico, the American States, and China; hatters and shirtmakers are equally well employed. Dyers have sufficient orders on hand to employ their workmen 12 and 14 hours a day. The business transacted in this trade is said to amount to some millions of francs a year in Paris alone. There is a brisk demand for chemical produce from Germany and for perfumery from South America. Ot all trades, however, that of builder and of all branches connected with it appear to be most prosperous. New streets are being opened in every quarter both of old and new Paris, and houses are not finished before they are partly inhabited. just her compasses and to complete her coaling up, she will proceed to Plymouth for the purpose of being docked for the customary examination of her bottom and valves before proceeding to sea. It was originally intended for the Achilles to proceed to Portsmouth, but in consequence of the it being no dock at liberty at that port in whieh ehe can enter, the order has beet received at Chatham for Plymouth to be the port at which she is to cail. Ffoua the ex. ceedingly foul state of the bottom of the iron frigate, from her long stay in Chatham harbour, where the water appears to have more than an ordinary tact on iron ships' bottoms, the work of removing the acs cumulations below her watcr-iine will take some time. It is stated at Chatham that the Achilles will make her first cruise to the Mediterranean, locking in at Lisbon for a short time. No time, however, will be lost in despatching her to sea, Capt. Vansittart, as well as the officers generally, being anxious to fall in with the equinoctial gales in order to severely test her sailing and steaming qualities, which, it is confidently predicted, will surpass those of any other vessel composing the ironclad squadron. The 110. pounder Armstrong shot and shell were shipped on board from the Ordnance wharf yesterday. The steam storeship Supply, having undergone repairs at Woolwich, is again ready for sea. Her sides have been payed down with the anti-fouling composition of Mr Hay, the Admiralty chemist, who has attended from Portsmouth. This anti fouling and anti-corrosive composition, so effective on the sides of the Warrior, as recently reported on her arrival at Portsmouth, is now used on the whole of her Majesty's ships, with the single ex caption of the Himalaya. By consent of cot Percy, Commandant of the camp at Colchester, the First Essex Administrative Battalion of Volunteers will be brigaded with the regular troops of the garrison on Thursday, Oct. 27. It is proposed to entertain the battalion at dinner. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Major-Gen. Rumley, InspectoraGeneral of Infantry, made his yearly inspection of the 4th, 9th, and 10th depot bettalions at Colchester. The regimental and coma panies' books were examined, the troops executed various -evolutions, the officers and sergeants went through several exercises, &c. The 24th company of Royal Engineers has re• ceived orders to move from headquarters, Chatham, to Devonport to relieve the Ist company_ It was originally intended for the Bth company of Royal Engineers, now on passage from China, to relieve the Ist company at Davenport, but in coura-quenee of the strength of the Bth having been very con siderably reduced, it was ordered to proceed on its arrival in England to Chatham, where it will be augmented to its full complement of 120 men of all ranks. The North Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry have been assembled during the past week at Wells for the customary eight days' permanent duty. The entire strength of the regiment is something under 450. The review took place on Friday, the inspecting officer being Col. Clarke of the Scots Greys. The Earl of Cork, Lord• Lieutenant of the County, was present, and the ground was kept by the Samerton troop of the West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry. We regret to announce a fatal accident on board Her Majesty's ship Phaeton. Oa the 19th of August, on the passage from Fortress Monroe to Jamaica, Lieut. C. Peg,t, third son of Lord W. Paget, was officer of the first watch, when the maintopsail- tyo was carried away in making sail, and he was struck on the head by the fl; block. The blow fractured his skull and he fell insensible and died in ten minutes. He was buried next day with the titial hOnours, deeply deplored_ Dreadful Tragedy at Old Windsor. O Tho village of Old Windsor was the scene of a ilreadfal tragedy oa Sunday, a man, named Lhn Richard Cook, having poisoned four of his children, cut the throat of the filth, and inflicted similar violence on himself, terminating his own life. It appears that Cook was by trade a barber at Old Windsor, where he had lived for the past four years. Seven or eight months ago his wife died, leaving a family of five young children; and Cook, being in somewhat dis tressed circumstances, drew up a petition for assistance, which he presented to various parties in the locality, who afforded him relief. From Friday to Sunday last nothing was seen of the family, and the suspicions of the neighbours were aroused to such a degree that they communicated the fact to Police-constable Lovell, of the Berke constabulary, and at about 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon that officer gained access to the house by breaking open one of the windows. He first entered the parlour, where a sad and heartrending sight presented itself, Three of Cook's children, aged respectively 4 years, 21 years, and IS months, were lying upon a bed placed on the floor, all dead, and it was clear that a foul deed had been perpetrated. The con stable then went upstairs, and found additional horrorr, In one room Cook's eldest daughter, about 9 years of age, was lying on a bed, suffering from the effects of poison, and in another room he discovered another child, about 8 years of age, with its throat cut. but still alive, and lying on a bed was Cook himself with his throat cut, but also alive. The constable at once sent for Inspectorßeece,who quickly arrived, and medical aid was sought for without delay. In spector Reece spoke to Cook, who made no allusion what ever to the children, but he admitted he had taken poison himself, and on a chest of drawers in the room the inspector found a half-pint bottle, about half full of oil of vitriol. In. another room was discovered a basin containing tea, with poison in it, and the eldest girl stated that that was what her father gave her to drink on Friday. A razor, the blade of which was fastened to the handle with string, in order to keep it firm, was found in a room down stairs, and there was blood upon it ; and a pail nearly full of bleod was close by, leading to the conclusion that Cook must have cut his throat downstairs, and afterwards laid himself on the bed upstairs, and there is reason to believe he must have dressed the wound in the child's throat, as it was quite clean and free from blood. On instituting a further search the (Mears found in a cupboard upstairs the clothes of the child whose throat had been cut, and they were completely satu rated with blood. Drs Pearle and Gooch attended as soon as possible, and sewed up the wound in the child's throat, and Inspector Reece subsequently conveyed her in a cab to the Windsor Infirmary, where she somewhat rallied yester- day, and the eldest girl also survives. Tho blood had con gealed about the wound in Cook's throat, but the medical men did all they could to save life. He, however, sank rapidly, and died shortly after 7 o'clock on Sunday evening. After his death several letters addressed to different persons were found under his pillow. Their contents stated his intention to poison his children and destroy himself, and requested that a post mortem examination should not be made, and that the burials should not take place at the cost of the parish. No doubt therefore remains that he poisoned the children. A post mortcm examination of the bodies will be made, after which the inquest will take place before the county coroner. CURIOUS LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT.--At the Ban bury Petty Sessions last week, the district surveyor having summoned several persons whose cattle ho had impounded, with a view to recover the penalty of £5 in each case, it was discovered that the amended act of last session, while enact ing that the owner of stray cattle should be liable to fine, had entirely repealed the only clause in the old act which gave authority for impounding them, and had omitted to re-enact it. The cases were consequently dismissed. THE COLLISION ON TILE EASTERN.---The damage sustained in the late cotlision on the Great Eastern Railway, reported in ?he Sun of Wednesday, waff even more serious than was at first stated. instead of £5OO, the loss sustained by the company will bo at least £1,0;10. The engine which ran into the stationary train came ill contact with the engine, and both the locomotives were a good deal damaged, while several of th e trucks , &c., of the cattle train were, as already stated, mere or less shatterei. The driver of the up goods train, which ran into the other train, states that there was a thick fog at the time of the accident, which prevented his seeing the danger signals ; and the driver of the other train it appears was not aware that the train from Norwich was duo at Thetford, alterations having been recently made in the slow train time table. The cattle had been unloaded from the trucks, and the driver of the stationary, or nearly stationary train was shunting it when the accident occurred. It will be seen that the train run into was a down train, and was on the wrong line, while the up train from Norwich was on the right line. Several of the trucks shattered contained grain, and a great quantity was strewn about bath
