Doors open at half-past 6—Commence at 7. rains was one of the many causes that delayed the opening of the line from the proposed epoch, in May, 1862, to January, 1863. The compli ments paid to Mr. FOWLER, the indefatigable en gineer, and to Messrs. SMITH, KNIGHT, and JAY, the contractors, were well deserved, since they have been the first to prove that the long talked of seller was really a possibility, and to elevate it from a, scientific theory to a substantial fact. The unwonted liberality of the City of London was also of considerable assistance, since the ablest of men cannot work with out materials, and the demand on the capital of the company was undoubtedly very great. The arrangements which have been made for the com fort of the public are highly satisfactory, the only drawbacks being the absence of day%itt,:ehi;rheqcuouenldt hardly be avoided in Skitzland, a ought not e stoppages at the interveningesotatpiaorniss.on When remember, however, that the comparison to be made with or di n aryrailw th a e y re tr w av il e i llin b g e but no with omn ib us conveyance, room for complaint, since the journey from B 0 3 -road Station , near the Great Western iterminuslw to Farringdon-street will only occupy 18 minutcs—a pace certainly never accomplished by a London omnibus. We do not wonder that the company in.king the trial trip yesterday lingered to examine the stations and other arrangements along the line. It is certainly a subject for felicita tion, as was afterwards observed, that though tra avelling amidst drains and seu ers, and a soil in fested by gas, they experienced nothing that was op pressive or disagreeable in any way. It must have been a matter of regret to those assembled that Mr. PEARSON, the late Solicitor to the Corporation, did not live to witness the successful carrying out of the scheme that he was the first to originate in a practical form. Due honour was, however, paid to his memory amid the mutual congratula tions of men who felt justly proud of having triumphantly completed a task of public interest and importance, and laid the foundation of a widely extended scheme for metropolitan improvement.

It too often happens, through some flaw in the indictment, or some negligence of others, that the ends of justice are defeated, and the guilty escape their just retribution. There is something peculiar in this case which sets it apart from others, in the annals of crime. It is the first time that any of the Bank of England paper has been stolen. The inconvenience that has resulted from the occurrence has been very great, both at home and abroad. Sir FITZROY KELLY, on the part of the Bank of Eng land,announced the gratifying intelligence that such annoyance would henceforth be at an end. In the first place, the man who, for seventeen years, has forged the notes, has been convicted ; the plates by which they were forged have been seized, and many extra means have been adopted to avoid any more paper being stolen. The learned advocate remarked that the authorities at the Bank feel justified in de claring that "an end has been put to the illegal fabrication of these notes for a long time to come/ This is desirable information, but after such a catas trophe it behoves all in any way connected or con cerned in the conduct of these affairs, to consider the causes that led to such a violation of jus tice, and the safeguards to be subsequently applied. Since 1720, the Messrs. PORTAL have manufactured paper for the Bank of England, the duty has been handed down from father to son, the great grandfather of the present owner of the mills baying established them. It has been truly said that it redounds to the credit of the house that during this long period no similar occur rence ever took place. The fact is that thieves in these days are so expert that it seems almost im possible to keep up with the march of their progress, ( and to arrest in time the exploits of their auda cious cunning and consummate adroitness. Another curious circumstance in this complicated affair is, that the young man BROWN, who was Queen's evidence, is one of a family who have been for three generations in the employ of Messrs. PORTAL, both his father and grandfather having served before him. It is painful to reflect on such deliberate villany without the temptation of want, and with all the ties which should subsist between those long con nected together in business to weigh in the oppo site scale, The secrecy which has so long been maintained by GRIFFITHS is perhaps the most ex traordinary thing in the whole affair. By his own account, be has been engaged in this nefarious busi ness since 1846. He stated that he "had printed the whole of the forged notes on the Bank of Eng land for the last seventeen years, that he had printed on genuine paper stolen from the mills 180 £5 notes and twenty £lO notes for a person named BUNCHER, and twenty £5 notes for another person." Griffiths must certainly have exercised great caution to have escaped detection for so long a period, and it is also manifest that a great boon has been conferred on the public by the capture of so notorious a swindler. It is also noticeable that the man who took charge of the stolen paper in the first instance, and trans mitted it to others, was a ticket-of-leave man. The WEATHER.—Sun Office, Jan. 10, 1863.

To-day an event of no small importance taLes plaee in our busy metropolis. It will not be visible to the general public, the casual visitor may pass through many of our leading thoroughfares with out becoming conscious of it, yet the occurrence is one which concerns the comfort and convenience of the modern Babylon more closely than any other question of the day, not excepting the fashionable and formidable vice of garotting. We may hope that when, as our clever contemporary Punch suggests, a Home Secretary or Inspector of Prisons shall have been stopped in the Queen's highway by some short-sighted garotter, sharpened legisla tion and increased police may do something to mitigate the evil, and allow these interesting criminals to sink into insignificance. But the event of to-day will, we may hope, increase in im portance as the complicated network of our London streets is threaded in all directions by subterranean highways, and the opening of the first Metropo litan Railway becomes the precursor of many others. The idea has long been floating in the minds of men of science and enterprise, combated and ridi culed, as all new schemes and projects invariably are, by the cautions and the interested. Still, if a scheme has in it the ele ments of success, and has the right men to work it out, it can surmount these preliminary difficulties, and probably neither the idea nor its advocates are much the worse for undergoing the test of opposition and scepticism at the commence ment. It is often necessary to ballast the eager confidence of the projectors with the sober experi ence of unimaginative practical men, and in the present instance there was certainly much to consi der. The difficultieg, although, as events have proved, not insurmountable, were certainly very great, demanding not only a high degree of engi neering skill, but plenty of capital to support it. The conflicting interests were numerous, and, after all else was disposed of, it remained to be considered whether the scheme, when accomplished, would prove an actual success or only a splendid failure, like its amphibious counterpart the Thames Tunnel. All these obstacles are now happily conquered, and Londoners need no longer grumble at the inconvenient size of their unwieldy city when as they traverse its crowded streets they may send a message to any part of it by the wires that surmount their heads, and transport themselves and their goods to any other locality by means of the underground line. The principal advantage expected to arise from the subterranean passage is, of course, the relief of the densely-thronged tho roughfares of the upper world. Everyone has, at some time or other, suffered from one of the custo mary "dead-'oeks" in the heart of the city on a busy afternoon. We can fancy the idea of an underground road suggesting itself for the first time to some agonised traveller sit ting, watch in hand, in a hopelessly blockaded vehicle, while the minutes that were to bear him to the station were ebbing rapidly away. Now, when one train can take him to the other, the case will be very different ; but the full benefit is not yet reaped. The line, whose completion was celebrated yester day, and which is this day opened for public traffic, extends only from Paddington to Farringdon street, but it is the first step towards a general junc tion of the lines, and a much greater extension of the underground system. The terminus of the newly completed line is to be at Finsbury circus, which will thus carry its goods and pa s _ sengers into the centre of city life. Various projects are talked of, including a scheme for converting the now useless Tunnel into a rail way, and a plan which will benefit the western dis tricts by opening a line between Leicester-square and Kensington. Certainly no schemers need despair after the triumphant conclusion of the arduous undertaking just happily terminated. We refer our readers to another part of our impression for the interesting narrative of the difficulties to be surmounted. What with the inevitable burrowing under streets and houses, the working amid water pipes, gas pipes, mains, and sewers, and, above all, the obstacle of the great Fleet Ditch, which had to be crossed four times, we do not wonder that more than once the task was almost abandoned. To Mr. JAY belongs the glory of h av i n g sibjegated the most formidable foe—a success which, as Mr. L owE happily remarked, entitled him to Claim an office lately vacant—that of Admiral of the Fleet ! The bursting of the Fleet-ditch from the heavy ders: It now remains that no laxity in prison dis cipline shall subvert the decision which has been brought about by the zeal and assiduity of the police force, and the combined inteliigence of judge and jury, in fathoming the mysteries, and pro nouncing on the iniquities of this band of criminals. Some of onr contemporaries—monthly and weekly ones especially—are calling attention to the pro bable result of our doings in the far East. Our old friend Blackwood formally opened the subject re cently, though it has been, in part, even before the House of Commons. The facts in .Blackwood are evidently given us by one who is thoroughly con versant with them; and they show, what has al ways been suspected, that we are in a fair way to become, perhaps in the lifetime of this generation, almost as closely implicated with the Government of the vast empire of China as we were with that of India, while the Company, under British Acts of Parliament, governed it through native princes. In this case Parliament has been in no way con sulted as to the wish of the British people to be come involved in the responsibility of seeing that China is well governed. It cannot, however, be denied that we are but too likely to become as answerable to the inhabitants of China, as we con ceived ourselves to be to those of Oude and Scinde, to protect them against flagrant misgovernment. It is, indeed, but the acorn yet, but it is hardly political prophesying to foresee in it the future oak. Let us briefly, however, mention the facts from which many among us foresee a danger to be averted only by careful precautions in the earlier and subsequent stages of these semi-governmental proceedings. The first noticeable germ of the present position is to be traced back to the year 1856. The Econo mist thus sums up the story, which many of our readers may not yet have seen :—" In 1856, just before the outbreak at Canton, the Chinese Taoutai of Shanghai lodged £30,00u in Mr. LAY'S hands, requesting him to purchase a European war steamer for the Chinese Government with the amount. At such a crisis Mr. LAY declined, as it might have put a weapon into the hands of China against Eng land, and the Taoutai, recognising the prudence of his refusal, still requested him to keep the £30,000 till such time as be could prudently use it in the way requested. Mr. LAY lodged it in a bank, and in 1857 and 1858 often referred to this sum as existing to the credit of the Chinese Government but the Taoutai always requested him not to allude to it—intimating that he should never want it, that Mr. LAY had saved for them a much larger sum than this, and in fact gave many a hint that Mr. LAY should regard it as a gratification, which of course Mr. LAY declined to do. In 1858, when requested by Lord ELGIN to accompany him to Pekin, Mr. LAY insisted on returning this sum, and was then at length told that the whole thing had been a bait to test his honesty—that the money, and Mr. LAY'S proceedings with regard to it, had been sedulously watched by vigilant spies through out the whole of this time—and that Mr. LAY had at last fully acquired the confidence of the Chinese Government." The result was that Mr. LAY, one of our best servants in China, accepted office under the Chinese Government; the whole control of the Shanghai Customs was placed in his hands; in 1859 he was made Inspector-General of all the open Chinese ports ; in 1861 his inspectorate was constituted a special department of the Chinese Government, he being named the Chief Commissioner; he has a large staff of English and other European and American gentlemen under him ; and as he has been by far the most successful, because hcnest as well as able, tax-collector the Chinese Government ever had, the Chinese are likely to look up to him in all things connected with finance. That remarkable people has never shrunk from making use of foreigners when the latter have been able to serve them with practical knowledge evidently superior to their own. It was by such knowledge that the wonderful success of the Jesuit missionaries was initiated, but it is easy to see that no practical knowledge will longer or more firmly retain its bold on any Government than financial knowledge. British administration of finance is likely, also, to propitiate not only the rulers, but all the honestly trading public of China, and the Chinese are a nation of traders. With most Orientals the tax-collectors who fill the Government exchequer best, fleece its subjects in so. English financiers base their hopes, on the doing contrary, on inducing the people to trade. They do not make wealth afraid to show itself, but re gard it as the goose which lays the golden eggs— to be cherished, not suicidally appropriated ; and the duties they levy are arranged, as far as possible, so as neither to interfere with consumption nor to leave the smuggler a profit. Mr. LAY and his co adjutors are likely, therefore, to become favourites with the governed as well as with the Government He may well be so when he has raised the revenue of the port of Shanghai alone, and that by fair dealing, from £266,000 in 1853 to a million ster ling in 1862. Altogether, the Chinese Government is reported to have gained about two millions an nually by Mr. LAY'S able and upright administra tion of its customs. Shortly before he became acquainted with Brown In any European Government such a Minister he had been liberated, when only half his time had would become a power in the State; and he cannot expired. Had he fulfilled the term for which he fail to be so under the regency of Prince KUNG and i had been imprisoned he would have been in safe the Empresses; all of them being favourable to custody uitil 1867 . Surely, this is a case in point i foreigners. Already the Imperialists are begin n i ng kas to th e efficacy of th ese modifications of the penal I to avail themselves of the sinews of war provided system. BROWN declared that at first he refused I them by Mr. LAY, for the purpose of crushing their compliance with BURNETT'S suggestions, but that at I hitherto unconquerable enemies, the Taepings. last he acceded. Of course unqualified credence The latter seem to have degenerated into a cannot be given to his assertions, but his youth at vast horde of land pirates. If they began as wild the time referred to is certainly corroborative religious enthusiasts, they have lost that character testimony, as he could only have been nineteen now ; either by a bloodier change in their religious years of age when he first knew BURNETT.

While taking service under the Chi nese Government, and with the avowed sanction of our Government, Mr. LAY, Captain Ossoltrr, and others, do not denationalize themselves. Should Englishmen, in their position, after years of honourable service, be in any way maltreated by the higher Chinese authorities, will England take it patiently ? Considerable actual power will be in Anglo-European hands, and the temptation will be almost irresistible to make use of it. This is, it is true, a kind of theoretical or imaginary danger, but the image of it is furnished by our selves in India. We are thoroughly " intervening" in China, while we denounce " intervention" in Europe. We are, as a Government, lending the Imperial Government financial, naval, and military aid, even sending Indian native regiments thither to uphold our prestige and position. Evidently the danger is very great of going much too far, and of committing, by so questionable a policy, the English taxpayer to fresh burdens, by new Chinese wars. We have a right, therefore, to ask that this subject, and the kindred one, of our future Japanese policy, should be thoroughly sifted in the coming session. Her Majesty's Privy Council, &C.

REMOVAL OF NEIVGATE PRiso NERs.--Gardner, the man who was convicted at the October sessions of the Central Criminal Court for the murder of his wife, and ordered for execution, but whose sentence was after.• wards commuted to penal servitude for life, has, by an order from the Secretary of State, been removed from Newgate to Millbank Prison to undergo that sentence. The garotters convicted at the last sessions, and sentenced to various terms of penal servitude, have, by a similar order, been re moved to the same prison. . I REPRISALS.—The New Orleans correspondent of ' the New York Herald writes as follows:—" Your readers will probably remember that when General Weitzel 1 so successfully and thoroughly drove the rebel forces out of the Opelousas country, and restored the richest of sections to the national authority, he found in the camp at Bayou des Allernands the records of a court-martial, showing that seven of our soldiers had been tried for treason, con victed, obliged to dig thei r own graves, and then shot The men had been enlisted in New Orleans for the Eighth New Hampshire Regiment, and were stationed at Bayou des Allemande, our extreme outpost, where they were cut off from the main laxly, and surrendered to a con siderable force. The seven men who were shot were recog nised by the enemy as residents of New Orleans, and were at once charged with treason, with the result just men tioned. General Butler was greatly provoked, and resolved on retaliation. Two of the five officerwcornposing the court martial were caught, and 14 of the highest officers of the prisoners now in our handw are held as hostages for the future action of the rebel Government. This list of 14 is headed by Brigadier-General Clarke, who was taken priso ner at the battle of Baton Rouge. Gen. Butler then sent a fi g of truce to Gen. Pemberton, commanding Confede rate forces in Louisiana, stating that unless the rebel Go• vernment disavow the act, and give up the other three members of the court. marti a l, h e should certainly shoot the 11 officers held as hostages. The two members of the court• martial whom we have in cuwody are as sure to be hung as they can be certain of any human Probability." DEERFOOT AND HIS BACKER IN THE POLICE COURT.—On Tuesday last, at Worship -street, Mr. W. Preston appeared to answer a summons taken out against him by George Martin (Deerfoot's backer) for an unprovoked assault committed at Hac , ney Wick on the night of Monday, December 29. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beard for the defendant. The case lasted over an hour, during which three witnesses were examined for the plaintiff, and four for the defendant, the evidence being very conflicting. After a most patient hearing, his worship condemned the defendant in a fine of £3 and 10s. costs, which was at once paid, and Mr. Preston then applied for a summons against Deerfoot for an assault committed by him at Hackney Wick on the same occasion as the above, which was at once granted, and made return able yesterday (Friday). Accordingly, Deerfoot appeared to it, and, after hearing th e evidence, Mr. Leigh fined Deerfoot 42 and costs, to-day in the Congress. Senor Rivero censured the policy inaugurated by France and Spain in Mexico, and defended the policy of non-intervention. Nothing has yet been decided upon in reference to the resignation tendered by several functionaries. That of Senor Coello y Quesada has only been accepted unofficially. FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 10.

PRUSS I A. A letter from Berlin, dated Jan. 8, says :—ln a recent letter I referred to an interview reported to have taken place in Vienna between Count Rech berg and Baron Werther. According to a Frank fort paper the Prussian Envoy then read to the Austrian Minister a despatch of bitter and threat ening tone, comprising violent reproaches and exor bitant demands, menaces of the withdrawal of Prus sia from the Confederation, and of her armies and war material from the Federal fortresses. Prus sia, it was further alleged to have been said in this very vehement despatch, would offer no opposi tion should Germany be invaded ; but her army would watch her own territory, and, if necessary, occupy that of other States in North Germany, and as far as the Maine. As the alternative of such very serious proceedings, the cespatca was said to demand for Prussia the political and military leader ship of Germany. The paper which gave the above as the substance of the document added that Count Rechberg had asked if Baron Werther was autho rised to leave with him a copy, and, on receiving for answer an abrupt " No!" had said he should consider the communication as non avenze. The Berlin .11 7 ational Zeitung, which had copied the article from the Frankfort paper in question, yesterday published a communique from this Government, declaring the statements therein contained to be a tissue or malignant and odious inventions, interwoven with an insignificant amount of truth, It is true that Baron Werther read a despatch to Count Reohherg, who asked for a copy, which was refused, on the grounds that the despatch was intended only for the Baron's own guidance, and that he was not authorised to give a copy. True, also, that no copy had since been sent. The author of the article ia the Frankfort paper could have got this information only from the Vienna Foreign-office. So says M. von Bismark ; but it is to be borne in mind that at least two or three persons besides Count Rechberg had know ledge of what had passed, so that some here, who are not admirers of M. von Bismark, consider it open to a doubt through whom the secret got divulged. The communique, however, plainly charges the Austrian Foreign Minister with having revealed a confidential communication, and encouraged, at the same time, false and mischiev ous statements. It declares it to he untrue that a prospect was held cut nf a withdrawal of the Prus sian troops from the Federal fortresses, and a mere invention that in the despatch was declared that Prussia, in the event of a foreign attack on Ger many, would lay no hindrance in the way. In reality, it says, the despatch was an attempt clearly to define the muses of the estrangement of the twr! great German Powers, and, as much as Inssible, to smooth them away. But : ii confidential communications are to be handed over to the officious pens cf the Vienna Foreign-office as materials for irritating articles, the Prussian Government must, however, regretfully abandon all further attempts at taking the initiative in bringing about au understanding. and therefore, and on this ground only, the step will not be taken which the Berlin Cabinet had contemplated taking in satisfaction of Couut Rechberg's expressed wish for an official communication of the contents of the de spatch. It had been proposed to throw the confi dential instructions given to Baron Werther into the form of an official despatch, and to transmit it to Vienna, This will now not be done; and it will be for Austria to begin, if she desires, an improved understanding with Prussia. The communique con cludes by observing, that it would be most unjust if those who wish to see such an understanding come to were to impute the fault of its non-attainment to the Berlin Cabinet. A BOHEMIAN MARRIAGE. —The Ost Deutsche p a st mentions a strange euston3 which prevails in Nortbera Bohemia. Every betrothed bride, however rich she may be, is obliged to go and beg in the neighbouring , villages for the feathers necessary to make her bed. She goes on these peregrinations, which sometimes last several days, in full dress and accompanied by a poor woman. Every one gives her a friendly reception, and she always carries bank an ample provision of feathers. APOTHE CARIES -HALL.—The names of the gentle men who passed their examination in the science and prac tice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, January 8, 1863, were—Frederick Waghorn, 34, Soho-square, W.; Henry Beazeley Trimmer, Gloucester; William Thelwall, Farndon, near Chester; Allen Gnome Cheek Mann, Guy's. MURDER IN ANGLESEA.—At the secluded village of Pencarnisiog, nine miles from Holyhead, a fright ful murder has been perpetrated. It appears that a man named tiowland Owen, a member of the Anglesea county militia, was seen by a police-constable crossing a field with a gun under his arm. His strange gait and suspicious appearance caused the officer to walk up to him to make certain inquiries. Owen at once placed himself in a threatening attitude, and pointing the bore of his gun at the officer, remarked, that if the latter approached him within ten yards he would shoot him. The officer with drew, but still kept his eye on Owen. The same evening (Saturday), at ten o'clock, Owen went into a tailor's house, and, without any apology, walked upstairs and crept through a small hole to a confined attic, where he re mained until midnight. The family felt a little anxious about their unexpected and uninvited guest, and calling in a friend of theirs and of their lodger, named Hugh Jones, desired him to assist them in getting Owen out of their house. He declined to move. Hugh Jones, con trary to the wishes of the family, went up to Owen, and directly the report of a gun was heard. Jones came down, and immediately fell dead on the: floor, having been shot through the heart by Owen. At the inquest, held on Monday, it was proved that Owen and Hugh Jones were particular friends, and the prisoner stated that he had no ill-feeling towards the unfortunate deceased, and that the trigger was but accidentally puled by him. The jury re turned a verdict of" Wilful Murder," and Owen was re wove 4 t 9 Vq4umaris Gaol to await the spring assizes, THE PRINCE OP WALES. SANDRINGHAM, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Considerable annoyance was caused to his Royal Highness yesterday afternoon by a circumstance which led to the abrupt termination of the sport. His Royal Highness had been shooting with good success for about three hours, and when about to shoot in a wood where a large rise of game was an ticipated, it was found that one of his Royal High ness's tenants, a Mr. Sherringham, was rabbit dig ging just on the edge of the wood. This piece of bad taste caused his Royal Highness so much annoyance that he at once intimated his will to have no more shooting that day, and the Royal party at once returned to the hall. This morning his Royal Highness has been in consultation with his agent and solicitor on the subject. This morning the Mayor of Lynn, Mr. L. W. James, had the honour of an interview, and took luncheon with his Royal Highness. This afternoon his Royal Highness rode over the estate. Pheasant shooting will be resumed to.morrcw. FATAL COLLISION. SOU ['HAMPTON, FRIDAY. A frightful collision occurred this morning, at the entrance of the Southampton water, between the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Ceylon and the brig Ridesdale, causing the loss of o lives and serious injury to two other persons. The Ridesdale, Captain Reader, which was bound for the West Indies, laden with railway iron, put into this port a few days ago leaky, and, having completed her repairs, left early this morning to proceed on her voyage, being towed down the river by the steamtug Aid, Captain Greenway, which was lashed to her side. Two of the first-class pilots belonging to the port were on board the brig, one of them, W. Goodridge, being in charge of her, and the other, Nathaniel Roberton, going down to the Solent to look out for a vessel. When they ar rived abreast of Calshot Castle, the Ceylon, Captain Evans, which was just arrived from Alexandria, was rounding Calshot from the Solent into the river, when she came in collision with the brig, cutting her in two amidship, and she sank in a few minutes. The bowsprit of the Ceylon caught the funnel of the Aid, carrying it away, and in falling on the deck it struck the pilot Goodridge and killed him on the spot. Captain Greenway, master of the Aid, has made a statement, from which it appears that he saw the Ceylon before he saw her lights, outside Cal shot Castle. It was a beautiful bright morning, and there was so much daylight that he did not think the tug's lights were required. He conse quently ordered them to be taken down, and at the time of the accident the boy was removing the third light, which fell from his hand in the collision. The Aid was on the weather or Hamble shore, and not in mid channel, the wind E.S.E. at the time. She was so near the shore that the Ceylon could nut have passed inside of her on account of the shallow water, it being dead low water. When Captain Greenway first saw the Ceylon's lights they were in the usual form of a triangle, and immediately afterwards her port or rea light was shut in, show ing that the Ceylon had starboarded her helm to enter the river. The captain called the pilot Goodridge's attention to this, and he replied from the brig, " Yes, I see it," and immediately star boarded the brig's helm to keep out of the way of the steamer. The collision occurred iramediat-,4 afterwards. Captain Greenway says ,oat just before the collision took place he taw the Ceylon's port light, which showed that the steamer had altered her course, The captain and the others on board the brig, seeing a collision to be inevitable, then jumped on board the tug, and the collision im mediately took place. Fortunately, the two ropes by which the tug was lashed to the brig were broken, although they were respectively 6 inch and 54-inch hawsers, or the Aid must in all prob bility have gone down with the brig, and a much greater loss of life would have been the result. As stated above, poor Goodridge was killed by the falling funnel. The fireman of the Aid, named Frederick Gaston, was either knocked overboard or jumped over, and has not been. found. A boy belonging to the Aid jumped over board, but was picked up alive by a fisherman named Yard, and the b,,y states that while he was under water he felt the keel of one of the vessels pass over his back, Captain Reader, who was on the bridge of the tug at the time of the collision, was thrown on to the deck, and had his ribs fractured. Roberton, the second pilot, was afterwards found on the taffrail of the Aid, with his left leg hanging over, broken to pieces by the mainmast of the brig falling on him, and he was taken on board the Ceylon, where the poor fellow's leg has been amputated dur ing the afternoon, since her arrival in dock. Good ridge has left a widow and a grown up son and daughter; and Gaston the fireman has left a widow and two young children. The. Ceylon has suffered no damage from the col lision beyond the loss of her jibboom and a portion of the figure-head, but striking traces of the ace:,. dent are visible in the grazed and dirty appezreance of the paint on either side of the cut water. the Great presence o f m i n d was shown 3,-iy cap tain and engineer of the Aid, wbo, in the excite ment of the moment, took steps which in all proba bility prevented an explosion of the tug being added to the °than. horrors of the accident. The captain immediately propped up the safety valve, and the engineer went below and drew the fires, but for which such a calamity would most probably have occurred. The Ceylon was in charge of Geo. Tubbs, another first-class pilot of the port. With regard to the cause of the collision, or the blame that may attach to any party, that will, of course, be the subject of inquiry hereafter. At 4 o'clock this afternoon IVIr. E. Coxwell, the borough coroner, opened the inquest upon the body of Wm. Goodridge, at the Can ate Castle Hotel, stating that, after the jury had viewed the body,he should only partially examine one witness to enable him to issue his warrant for the burial, and then adjourn the inquiry to aff ;rd an opportunity for all persons concerned to he present. Mr. J. Sharp, jun., solicitor, attended on the part of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and said he was instructed to afford every facility for the prosecution of the inquiry in order that the truth might be fully ascertained. Mr.J. R. Stebbing,the chairman of the Steam Towing Company, and other gentlemen were also present. On the return of toe jury from viewing the body the coroner called— Francis Fred. Greenway, master of the steam-tug); Aid, who deposed as follows :—This morning, at 20 minutes past 5, I left Southampton•docks and went off to the brig Ridesdale, which was lying in the river. I had the captain and two pilots on board, of whom the deceased was one and Nathaniel Raberton the other. About 20 minutes before 6we weighed and proceeded down the river, with the brig lashed alongside. About 20 minutes to 7we were in collision with the steamship Ceylon, which was then coming up the river. Just before the col lision took place the master of the brig, the two pilots, and most of the crew jumped on board the Aid. At the same moment the Aid's funnel was carried away by the bowsprit of the Ceylon, and fell on the deck fore and aft. A minute or two afterwards I was called aft by my mate, when I saw Mr. Goodridge lying by the side of the fun nel, with his head close to it. His head was very much fractured, and he was quite dead, pulsation having ceased. I sat him up, and the doctor from the Ceylon came on board and pronounced him dead. At this stage of the proceedings the coroner said he had Etaken sufficient evidence for today, and then adjourned the inquiry till four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when the witness Greenway's evidence will be more fully gone into, and other Witnesses examined, Roberton, the pilot, died this evening, making he third life lost by this melancholy casualty. SUNDAY EXCURSIOA TRAINS.—On Thursday a memorial in opposition to that from the Archbishop and Bishops of the Church of England and other bodies against the running of excursion trains on Sundays, was circulated and extensively signed by persons who avail themselves of such trains, for presentation to the directors grailways9n which such excursion trains are run. INDECENT ASSAULT. At the Wilts quarter sessiors on Thursday, before Sir John A wdry and other justices, the Rev. Her bert Williams, curate of Tidcombe and Fosbury, was indicted for assaulting Maria Beckingham, a girl about 17 years of age, on the 26th of November last. The case has excited a great deal of interest in the town and county. Mr. Swayne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Herbert Saunders ap peared for the defendant. The defendant in this case is a married man, and prior to the alleged com mission of this offence has officiated as curate of the parishes of Tidcombe and Fosbury. The defendant lodged with a Mr. Barnes, who lived in the parish, and was waited on by the servants in the house. The prosecutrix, a respectable-looking girl, was a servant in the employ of Mr. Barnes, and from her statement it appeared that on the evening of the 26th Nov. she and the defendant were alone in the house. She took his tea to him in the parlour, and he then entered into conv:arsation with her about. going to America, asking her if she would like to go, to which she replied that she should not care about going alone. The girl was nursing the baby at the time, and the defendant put his hand round her, at tempted to kiss her, committed an indecent assault. upon her, and made a most improper request.. She resisted defendant's importunities, threatening also that she won:d tell her mistress. The defen dant begged that she would not do that, and pro mised her if she would not he would tal:,e her out to America with him. After this Mr. Williams left the house and proceeded to tte evening school. When. :ned she i n f orme d h er of the assault committedtressret upon tt her, and th e mis tress, as may be ; .Magined, b ecame very angry, ieD the girl's mistress and at once proceeded to the school, called the de fendant, and acquainted him with the nature of the charge made against him. The defendant denied. the truth of the statement, and alleged that it was a trumped-up charge by the girl. On the follow ing day the girl made a complaint to her father, who, during the dinner hour, had an baterview with the defendant, when the latter said if he had done wrong he was very sorry for it, and a man could do no more than that. He also said he hoped the father would forgive him and say no thing about it, as it would do him no good, and it would ruin him. He also held out his band, and wished to shake hands with the father, who, however said he must take time to consider whether he should take any proceedings against the de fendant. The Rev. Mr. Williams wished to know how long he would be in coming to a decision, and wished him to go to his lodgings that evening. The father did not go, and legal proceedings were th'ert. commenced. On the application of the prisoner's counsel he was allowed to sit at the table by the aide of his counsel, and not to appear in the dock. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the witnesses were ordered out of court. Mr. t 5 Wayne opened the case to the jury, and stated the facts as given in the above narrative. Evidence having been given at considerable length ; the chairman summed up, and said he thou.: ht the magistrates were fully jus ti#ed in sending the case for trial, and be was always inclined, in cases of this kind, to send thein for trial by a jury. He should be very reluctant to expose himself to the imputation of trying to suppress and keep quiet a matter of public scandal. The learned chairman then went through the evi dence, and left the case in the hands of the jury.. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the pri soner having been placed at the bar, the chairman addressed him, telling him he had bean convicted on evidence which lett no doubt o.t his guilt, and his sacred position would tend greatly to aggravate the punishment that the Court would feel it its ont,:! to inflict. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be imprisoned to hard labour in the House of Correction at Devizes for six calendar months. -- Western Daily Press. RACING FIXTU FEBRI [RES FOR 1863.

Kildare Hunt 15 The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has just given judgment in an action brought by Mr. Voignier, the master of a boarding-school Passy, against his landlord, M. Lenormand, under the following circumstances. The plaintiff is lessee of a house and garden in the Rue St,- Andre at Passy, adjoining a piece of ground at the corner of that street, and the Boulevard du Roi de Rome, belonging to aM. Philippon, The latter in April last began to dig the foundations for building a house fronting the boulevard, and as the boulevard is some metres below the level of the Rue St.-Andre he removed the soil near the foundations of Voignier's house to the depth of nine metres, so that it was found necessary to take down the party-wall and provisionally close in the end of the house with planks. Four of Voignier's rooms were consequently rendered uninhabitable, and he ap plied to the civil tribunal demanding that an architect should be appointed to make a report on the state of the premises and on the compensation to which he was entitled for being thus disturbed in the possession of his house. The architect reported accordingly, and, on the ' strength of his report, Voignier commenced proceedings against his landlord demanding that the premises should be put into a tenantable state at his expense, and that be (the landlord) should be condemned to pay plaintiff 3,000 fr, for the loss already incurred, and 600 fr. per month till the comi letion of the works. On the part of the plaintiff it was stated that sixty of his pupils had been taken away by their parents in consequence of the dangerous state of the house. The defendant's counsel argued that his client was not responsible for the damage, and that Philippon, wbo had cau•ed the prejudice, was alone responsible. The Tribunal, however, after hearing counsel fo, all parties. decided that the landlord was bound to secure his tenant peaceable possession of the premises against any third person, and, therefore, condemned him to put the house in a. tenantable state, and to pay the plaintiff 2,500 f. for the injury already suffered, reserving the right of the latter to recover for any future loss that might ensue. With re gard to Phillippon, the Tribunal condemed him to indem nify Lenormand for the above damages and all costs of the present proceedings. The funeral of the late Archbishop of Paris look place yesterday morning at Notre Dame, in con formity with the programme. The ceremony in the cathe dral was imposing in the extreme. The whole of the nave was hung with black cloth, and lighted by thousands of candles ; the clergy were in full canonicals, and the lay part of the congregation consisted, with very few exceptions, of officials in uniforms all over gold lace. Not less than three cardinals, 20 bishops, and 100 canons, were present. The outside part of the cortege was reme.rkable chiefly for its military display, Four regiments of infantry, four squad rons of lancers, and a battery of artillery followed the hearse ; but the ceremony, on the whole, lacked that one cle ment that makes such displays something more than a mere show for the eye—the deep feeling and emotion of the crowd. Far different was the case when one of Mgr. Mor lot's predecessors, Mgr. Afire, was taken to his last rrsting place at Notre Dame. He was killed, as you know, by ft chance ball at the barricade of the Faubourg St. Antoine, on the 16th of June, 1848 —and the population of Paris on the morrow of that fearful struggle, still under the impres sions caused by a street battle of five days' duration, re garded him as a martyr in the cause of order, and when the archbishop's corpse, clad in his canonical robes, and his face uncovered, was borne along, the crowd was swayed by emotions which this day's pageant wholly failed to elicit, though, as a pageant, it was splendid and imposing. General Count de Soren, formerly aide.-de•camp o the Duke d'Enghien, has just died in his 93d year. He was one of the last representatives of the Army of 1780. lie had been a fellow .student and even the corporal of Napoleon, at the; school of Brienne. .ITST, ceive c tomb ( GrenE Corp o Xl,OO issue 1 is not brou g Chang ration of an £ pect 1 POrts 4 in co' will b been shares The on the born, went, the or the co this lc arise highly iu shat Paid, a of p as , Th e e: bu s i nei tae be (e Zistin knol to be fi Of Lon Compa The co Out ar trader s connect Th e bro ug h Xl,OOO, being I] rnent DI de fi i gne ezahae i l ani an In Lon( 4 geneie , ( . 1 the e . - an( eriterpr a ril the 411111 er° The k C"npan A lit Euglish tot attic tit 93i New Th f ormer chequ er I)re tn ; Cents., cha thetveges;illfB:hao ier't(l C ents., ] 18 62, 67 are 95 1.
