These anthems are pure alai unadn'terated, void of " exhibitionary" harmony an d Si sensation" poly., —genuine Church music, in a word. Besides, if Mr. Goss can write for the festivals of the Sons of the Clergy, why not for the anniversary meetings of the children under the dom e of St. Pt:UN? It is tahnd and, ebeginnin g—t ' ae 100th Psalm— we may add, his duty. But thoi begins p r e r o g t. r a o t i m v e " that dear Old Hundredth," as Mr. Thackeray would have said (" All people that on earth do dwell")—was sung by the children, girls and boys, more glorious than ever. Such a sonorous, massive, living unison might well have astounded the placid genial Haydn, and brought tears from the eyes of that indefatigable searcher after overwhelming " effects,"M. Hector Ber lioz—Haydn's very anti. podes. It would—to speak with deference—have given poor Meyerbeer an idea for a new Benediciion of Swords. In its particular sphere there is nothing like it. The language of music never uttered so much with means so simple. What could more fittingly serve than this to prepare the mind for the earnest act of prayer ? The H un d re dth P sa l m could never be omitted fro m this festival, nor could solid, majestic, arid, at the same time, devotional, a hope be entertained of finding than the work of Thomas `!';;Ills --Elizabeth's com poseranything more ces and Responses —a solid rook of harmony, as has been justly said, against which the wavesof time and organist—for the P re may beat in vain for ever.

TEETH. —Mr. ESK RILL'S INVENTION in the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always useful, and will last a lifetime.

The Jurors' Report on Wax and Church Candles, in 1862, testifies to 'he excellence of the quality of Messrs. Tuckers' manufacture. A disti❑guished Dignitary, in a letter addressed to Francis Tucker and Co., on the subject of WAX CANDLES with PLATTED WICKS, says : " I have found them fully equal to the recommendation which you gave them, and can sincerely, in my Win, I com mend them to the clergy for the use of the altar."

The innovation suggested and carried out by Mr. Goss, which last year afforded such universal satisfaction —viz., that of substituting for the 113th Psalm (" Ye saints and servants of the Lord"), which was wont to precede the sermon, the superb and imaginative chorale which forms a climax to the impressive ,:cene of Saul's conversion, in the oratorio of "Sr. Paul," was happily repeated ; and it is to be hoped that, for a l ong t i me a t least, Men d e l ao h n ' s " Sleepers awake" may bo retained a part of the musical service on these highly interesting occa sions. It was, on the whole, perhaps, even more admirably performed than last year.

In short, it may be taken for granted that Men delssohn having once got into St. Paul's Cathedral, it will not be very advisable, or very easy, to turn him out again. Pity that ho did not live to do something expressly for the chfldres's union, in combination with the harmony of the choir and the nstruniental acccinpaninicras at disposal. After the sermon, preached by the Lord Bishop of Ripon, who took for his text c h ap, 17, verse 17, Gospel of Sr. John—" Sanctify them through Thy word ; Phy word is truth --ther e was, as usual, for the children, the Ist and 4th verses of the 104th Psalm (" My soul praise the Lord"), which— whether by Dr. Croft, or b y Handel, or by neither, is a very fine one. L ast, and greatest of all, came from the sublime "Hallelujah," the tune of om an oratorio which, founded on the sublimest of possible subjects, is all "Messi a h . " To the children, as on thelast ion, "issgned a more important sublimity—th e occa s Was share of this than used to be the case, which, it must be owned—although the time of the chorus is taken necessarily slower than would otherwise be the case—rendered the performance all the more impressive. To dwell on minor points would be superfluous; but it is i mpossible not to allude to the magnificent unison in "The Lord God omnipo tent reigneth" to th e fi nely subdued delivery of the phrase, " The ki ng d om of this world is become the kingdom of Our L ord and to the astonish ing effect of the slowly rieing; scale, from D to Dings; Lord o f L or d s ,"— w hi c h , a G— mid " r K ei i t n e g rate o d f shoute of resp ons i ve '' Hallelujahs," majesty.

A few minutes after 1 o'clock their Royal Highnesses the PrEce and Princess of Wales drove up to the Royal Stand in an open carriage and four, preceded by outriders in the Royal liveries. The suite in attendance followed in an open phaeton drawn by four greys. The reception ac• corded to the Prince and Princess was what may be called quietly hearty and respectful—a reception in which the enthusiasm for the Royal family never passed those bounds beyond which it would have been impossible for them to enjoy the races. The Princess, who now wears half mourn ing, took her place at the window of the Royal Stand, and with a little book of the races in her hand, gave herself up to the enjoyment of the scene with the most vivid interest —an interest apparently as great in its way as that of the Prince himself, who stood beside her. doubt, it arrangement hketne keeps ptihsse otherwise w n w iesy somelo 7 noblepatronise donations, that the anniversary meet ing of the children is freq ut . n , dy held on the Ascot Sons of the Clergy is measure e" dicial.

The advisability of restoring the rehear sals, at which the friends and relations of the chil dren were admitted for 6d ., when th e " humbler il e south-west amount contributedcn I. was a short service, without sermon, has also been suggested; and we think reasonably. The have who used to profit by these rehearsals ( which "ave been dis continued since 1850), received com pensation, and there is no impediment that we can see to their resumption. Last, not i least—when s the noble organ built by Messrs Hill to be furni s h ed with that long-wanted case, the design of which, we are informed, has been for some time completed, a nd which without it looks as ill as it sounds well ? We have again to acknowledge the polite atten tion of the gentlemen w h o act for the Committee of Patrons, and especially of Alr F. J. F uller, who superintends all matters rel a ting to the choir, and whose zeal is only equalled by his htfibi ity.— Times. In the Biennial Stakes, Mr Merry's horse Zambesi, which was so badly ridden for the Queen's Stand Plate on Tuesday, when he might have won with ease had he been called on earlier, was on this occasion better handled. The final appeal of the jockey was not delayed till the winning post was close a-head. The effort was made just as the Stand was near, and in spite of the long odds of the leaders Zambesi made a magnificent rush and won. The Sweepstakes only brought out three horses, so that all won places, the merit of first being gained by Mr Bowes's Hark Forward, who came in at the last with a spurt, and won, Before the race for the Cup the paddock was crowded, Lord Clifden proving the great centre of attraction, He is wonderfully altered and by no means improved since the Derby of '63, when Macaroni headed him at the distance and seemed to thrust his neck past him. Lord Clifden did his best on that occasion, and will never do so well again. It is a pity Macaroni could not have met him yesterday, but Macaroni, it is said, will never race again, nor, we venture to think, will Lord Clifden. He is a moat m agnificent-looking animal, but not a racer. To judge merely by his appearance among the other horses, he must rand over 16 hands, and all this height is in his legs, which seem overgrown, and look weedy and weak. It seemed almost incredible that Little Stag, a very under sized horse, which he was so meekly following round the paddock, was a better animal as a racer, for we believe Little Stag has a higher racing career before him than ever Lord - - - Clifden will attain. Scottish Chief was again the favourite in the paddock, and certainly his perfect good temper and exquisite condition, notwithstanding the race of the morn ing, justified the confidence of the public, who had seen him CURIOSITIES OF COMMERCE.—When free trade was still in the future we were often told how round about and costly were the waYs by which hostile tariffs sometimes compelled merchants to send goods to their desti nation. Free trade too seems to have its marvels. During the last ten days several cargoes of wheat,arriving atLiverpool from San Francisco, have been at once despatched to Mel bourne; that being, in the present state of the markets of the two countries the destinationmost likely to retw n a profit, and there is now lying at Now York a cargo of hemp which there sent to Liverpool, and on its arrival in Liverpool was ' was shipped from Manilla to New York was on its arrival sent back to New York, It is nosy under or d ers t o re turn to Liverpool, and it is quite within the range of possibility that a further change of prico may cause it to be again sent to New York. These aro not common cases, and ocean telegraphs will make them rarer than they are, but they are remarkable. win easily, and, in spite of the stride of Lord Clifden, be lieved he would wia again. Lord Zetland attracted a good deal of attention, though on the whole Wingrave seemed preferred to him, Unlike the race for the Biennial Stakes the start for the Cup was effected easily, and amid the cheers of thousands Scottish Chief for the second time that day came in an easy winner; Little Stag second, and Lord Zetland third, Before the race was run the rain, which had been imrni• nent during the latter part of the day and which had occa sionally come down in gentle showers, set in father heavily at last, and a general rush was made for town after the race for the Cup was over. The following aro the remarks of our sporting correspondent : Of course, the Cup is the be-all and end-all of an Ascot Thursday, though there were one or two events that claimed some attention from the rank and standing of the animals engaged. This was the case in the first event of the day, the New Biennial, in which Scottish Chief and Knight of Snowden, the third and fourth in the Derby, were to meet again.. The Chief commanded all the admiration he excited „ g e : tlfice ;:iti.is. .1 : ., • . ~.6- 1 2.., ,;Va.:-.,, .. , . 4. . %In' •4- . . . . i ,....,,,; ---4.1 c, , • ' • k. 5,..,............ . , _ * ?-.

A wet day does most materially seriously affect the Derby ; but, wet or dry, hot or cold, there is a certainty about both the quantity and quality of the Cup Day's audience at Ascot which as yet at least no other of our great national games has been able to command. If anything could have prejudicially in fluenced the attendance on this occasion, the calamitous railway accident, which so sadly marred the first day of this great meeting would have done so. Yet we are sure we are speaking within the limits when we say that the gathering of visitors yesterday was as much beyond the gathering of last year's Cup Day as that of Tuesday sur passed its predecessors. As a matter of course, every pos sible precaution was adopted by the railway company en this occasion, and such extra rules of caution had been im pressed upon the drivers of all the engines as to make the jonrney both down and up one of the slowest for its mileage by rail that could well be effected. The 26 miles from Wa terloo in moat instances took nearly two hours to accom plish, and, though by these precautions perfect safety was in a measure insured, yet, as a rule, the public seemed by no means gratified at this display of solicitude on their behalf, and rather resented than otherwise the practieal application of the maxim "slow and sure" when applied to themselves on a racing day. From these remarks it may be guessed that a considerable proportion of the visitors from town were late—not too late, indeed, to see the cup run for, but, in many instances, much too late to see at leisure the aspect of the course itself and its wondrous throng of sightseers. At Epsom every rank, from the very highest to the lowest, is blended in indiscernible gradations, and the crowd which assembles on the Downs is for the time being only a houselesa London, carrying with it all the extrava gance and squalor, all the vice, folly, and enjoyment, of the great metropolis. At Ascot it is not so any more than at Goodwood, where the line is broad and well defined which separates high and low. It is needless to enter here upon the thrice-told tale of the appearance of the course. Every one knows now how it has certain rural refinements, which even in their bois terous aspects differ from the wild saturnalia which mark the Epsom gathering. Viewed from its moral aspect, how ever, it may be remarked that the proportion of every grade of sharpers is three or four to one at Ascot as compared with the members of the same fraternity who honour Epsom. The men with the three cards, those of the three peas, even those who have to sell sovereigns and bank-notes, and who adjure the spectators in moving terms to enable them to get rid of a certain number before the clock strikes two, are getting rare at Epsom. London visitors form a most un profitable audience for such transparent sharpers, though among the Ascot rustics they thrive in such a rank luxu riance as leaves little else to see or hear upon the coarse between the races but their incessant bellowing and en treaties to bet on the cards. For the rest there is much the same role of acrobats and nigger minstrels, girls on stilts, and monkeys on round tables ; children scarcely able to walk upon their feet, yet earning a precarious subsistence by tottering on their hands, and, in short, what one sees always at all the races. Decidedly there is an utter want of novelty in the amusements which these Bedouins of the racecourse offer to their patrons. Is there no genius among these wild tribes who can start something new, something not on stilts, or with its face not blackened, or which has , not been pelted at before P It is not easy, we admit, to make the discovery, but, on the other hand, neither is the reward small or uncertain which awaits the fortunate in ventor. The improvements effected in the Grand Stand since last year make it now by far the finest, handsomest, and most commodious Stand in the kingdom. It is, in fact, a model of what such a Stand should be, just as that at Epsom may be said to be in the opposite category. Yesterday all parts of the Stand and its stalls were crowded. The en closure afforded scarcely more than standing-room, while the long slope at the opposite side was crowded, even down to the ccurse, both with carriages and with dense rows of spectators, in such numbers as we have never seen before. Another great im provement, which may be said to make this place of racing meeting perfect, is the formation of a saddling paddock, close in rear of the judge's chair, where the animals before starting can be carefully looked to by their trainers and owners, instead of being, as heretofore, saddled anywhere on the course in the midst of crowds so trying to horses of un«pral temper as the majority of racers generally arc. The new paddock, though not very spacious, is convenient and well kept, has a lofty stand from which the whole course can be viewed, and, above all, admission can only be gained by properly issued tickets, so that the large, rough, and very mixed crowd which fills the paddock at Epsom is here altogether done away with. It was well attended yesterday, and the les. fee was grudged by none when they found that they had really got what they had paid for—namely, a quiet view of a:1 the horses before starting. The first race brought a large field of competitors. Fore most in interest and favour was Mr 'Merry's Scottish Chief, who won his first honours on the Ascot Course, where there was nothing much to speak of after him who was beaten at Newmarket by Cambuscan, and afterwards at Goodwood by Fille de l'Air in a canter. Still he was the favourite, though a slight-looking horse, but perfect in condition and temper, with a deep chest, powerful forehand, and arched loins, and, above all, a light, easy, len; stride, that told of " going" when his jockey should call on him near the chair. The Knight of Snowdon and Young Rapid, the former a bleak colt, whose reputation fer staying is fast rising; the latter a light chestnut colt, of great power and endurance. and who in the two-mile race on Tuesday so easily defeated Little Stag, Birch Broom, and half a score of more Me braced antagonists than himself, were Scottish Chief's most formidable opponents. As it turned out, however, they had no chance. Scottish Chief won easily, and, by his subse quent still more easy victory over Lord Clifden for the Cup, vindicated the judgment of the public who lately made him first favourite for the Derby. The St. James's Palace Stakes was a most hollow affair, in which The Beadle had to canter, and the riders of Alpheus and Myrtilus spur hard to follow him at a modest distance. The race for the Plate was carried off by Mr Payne's Lemonade —the general feeling in the paddock seeming to be that Lord Westmoreland's Auditor stood the best chance. - , PRICE Ad, STAMPED ....sd. at Epsom, and certainly is as splendid and bloodlike a horse as this year has seen. They laid 11 to 10 on him, 10 to 1 agst the Knight, and these two were alone in the race. Singling themselves out at the Stand, they ran home together, Cap tain Cooper's horse not being able to quite reach the favour ri: ..ho won en exciting race by a neck. The Cup betting had been limited to the two favourites, Lord Clifden and the Chief, a small field being anticipated. After the above race, Mr Merry's colt took a decided lead, and was first favourite when the flag fell. The customary parade of the Cup orses took place in the royal enclosure. Lord Clifden looked short of work, and the Chief appeared not to have La - got ten his previous race. They were got dow: to the post after their preliminary canter, and the flag 611 t - -Ft.ut an hour and a half after the time ap pointed. It is sufficient here to say that Wingrave looked as well as anything until the turn into the straight; that Lord Clifden was never in the race ; and that the Chief, who had been lying well with his horses, came out at the Stand, and won very easily by six lengths.

The flag was lowered to a very unsatisfactory start, 'Va ' tuna, whose head was turned from her horses, being left hopelessly behind. The Little Gentleman was the first away, and made the running, closely attended by Master Richard and Glendusk, the three being followed nearly abreast by Scottish Chief, King George, and Knight of Snowdon, close in whose wake came Blue Mantle and Young Rapid, Bat taglia and Vacuna bringing up the rear. Approaching the bend Master Richard joined the leader, the pair coming into the straight together, when they were joined by the favou rite, who came up on the inside, and Knight of Snowdon and Glendusk in the centre of the course. They ran thus to half way up, where the Little Gentleman dropped back, and the favourite took a clear lead, but was caught at the enclosure by Knight of Snowdon—Blue Mantle at the same time headed Master Richard and joined issue with the leaders, who finished a fine race home, Scottish Chief, run ning the longest, winning very cleverly at last by a neck. Blue Mantle, who was stopped, finished four lengths in their rear and a neck in advance of Master Richard. King George was fourth, Glendusk fifth, the Little Gentleman sixth, and Young Rapid next. Battaglia and Vacuna trotted in last. The St. James's Palace Stakes of 100 sous each, h ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b, and fillies Bst 71b. Maidens allowed 71b. Old mile. 6 subs.

At last the signal was lowered, when the running was taken up by Lemonade in the centre of the course, followed on the left by the Nervous colt, and wide en the Stand side by Auditor and Le Mediante i the others being brought up under the command of sister to Tomato, 7 2,r.nuie Lass, Kathleen, Sequence, and Mail Train. They rim thus to the distance, w , en the two leaders drew and came on toge ther to the Stand, when Morgan brought up Auditor and joined the leaders, the three running from this point a close and exciting race home, Lemonade winning in the Lest stride by a head,. the Nervous colt defeating Auditor by a like distanco for second. La Mechante was fourth, close up; sister to Tomato fil,h; Kathleen sixth, and G , :dmersham next.

The fractiousness of Kcenig and Audax delayed the start some time, the former on several occasions breaking away and running to within two distances from home. When fairly in their places Mr M`George lowered his flag, when Mr Sutton's two, on the upper ground, were seen in advance of Convent and the favourite, Zambezi, with La Fortune, The Clown, and Goldylocks following next. On reaching the enclosure Jczabel and her stable companion gave way, and the lead was immediately taken up by Zambezi, who was challenged at the stand by Komig, but who failed to getup, and was beaten in a very easy manner by two lengths, a length and a half separating the second and third. The Clown was a bad fourth, Audax fifth, and Convent sixth; La Fortune and Quaker, side by side, were the next two. Goldylocks and Furze Chat were the last two.

Alabama rushed to the front immediately the signal was given and came on with a strong lead, followed by Win grave, Little Stag, Gibraltar, the favourite, and Lord Zetland in the order we have given, and at an interval of three lengths came Molly Carew, Ranger, and Lord Clifden nearly abreast. In these positions they came past the stand, but as they rounded the ton turn Little Stag rushed to the front and descended the hill three or four lengths in advance of Alabarra, Wingrave going on third, with Scottish Chief, and Lord Zetland, side by side, next, followed by Gibraltar and Ranger; the others still lying off. Half way along the Swinley bottom, Alabama gave way and speedily joined the rear division, which left the Baron's colt in attendance upon the leader, the pair being joined at the old mile post by the favourite, clone up with whom wore Lord Zetland and Ranger. As they approached the bend they got upon closer terms, and ran so into the straight, where Scottish Chief headed Win grave, and half way up took a decided load, and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths, anger fifth, Stagalld dLeofredateediiLfdoernd Zetland by three lengths for second.

This most interesting of festivals—all idea of abolishing which seems now, happily, at an end— . took place yesterday morning, as usual, under the dome of the Cathedral. The attendance was more enormous than even on proicus occasions. Often as the scene has been witnessed it is always new and always eecitin,-;. To enter into a fresh description of it, however, would be wholly superfluous. Enough that the general arrangements, superintended by Mr Arthur S. Newman, festival architect, to which inventive genius in a great measure London owes a sight to which no other city in the world can offer a parallel, were on the accustomed scale of grandeur and completeness—indeed, in almost Ey.. ry parti cular, the same as have elicited wonder and delight at former anniversaries. The 4,000 children were seated as coinfortably as though there had been only 400 to accommodate, and presented to the eye of the lookeraon a spectacle as orderly and unconfused as it was incomparably picturesque. That there was full Cathedral service with anthems, &c., accompanied not merely by the organ, but, in the full pieces, by brass instruments and drums (Messrs. P. Harper, Macfarlane, Irwin, Phasey, and Chipp), to aid in preserving the balance of sound— which where so vast and comparatively untutored a congregation of singers is engaged, might otherwise bo seriously imperilled—it is scarcely requisite to add. But when such an officer as Mr Goss, the able and respected organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, is at the head of affairs, and at his side Mr George Cooper (of St. Sepulchre's and Christ Church) his intelligent and talented deputy, it may be taken for granted that the musical part of the ceremony will leave nothing to desire. Mr Goss is generalissimo on this impos ing field-day ;Mr George Cooper—whose assistance ' in drilling the army of youthful vocalists for the annual grand display is so invaluable to Vicar- Choral H. Buckland (conductor)—the chief of his staff. Under their presiding care all is pretty sure to go wetl. These zealous gentlemen work together in advance, and share the post of organist—some. times playing separately, sometimes (as in the "Hallelujah") together —on the day. It would be very difficuit to replace them. Prayers were intoned by the Rev. B. M. Cowie, and Lessons were read by the Rev. J. V. Povah— minor canons in the cathedral. The choir—com posed of singers belonging to St. Paul's, with dele gates from St. George's Chapel (Windsor), Temple Church, Westminster Abbey, Chapel Royal (St. James's), &c.—was nearly 80 strong; and upon its component members, it may easily be understood, devolved important duties. Mr. H. Buckland was at his ordinary post, on an elevated rostrum within sight of all the children, and in direct and well prac tised communication with the organist. Again at this anniversary there was only one change in the musical part of the service, and this a change of little or no importance. That the chant to the Psalms (45 and 46—" My heart is inditing a good matter," and " God is our hope and strength") should be no longer "Jones in D," is under any circumstances a consolation. Not, however, that estrit,,upterd. foorroittchatinthoe,l,awsthaienhniwvaesrsuasreyd, oyresftoerrdthayat, much can be said f or ' D r. C rotch in C, " which was B o u t h b and by which the choir, to judge by its occasionally dragging, did not seem greatly inspired. To Dr. Crotch, though a good musician, a thought of genuine melody rarely occurred. We suppose that it is out of the question to expect anything new in this direction. The chant, however, is of tittle consequence when compared with the anthem—the " To Deum" to suc ceed the first and the "Jubilate" to follow the second Lesson. "' Te Deum' and Jubilate,' as com posed in the key of A with the greater third (A major) by William Boyce, Doctor in Musicklinight fairly be replaced by something else more modern, and (their merits not denied) more interesting. That Dr. Boyce bequeathed a valuable legacy to the library of Church music is unquestionable ; never theless his Te Deem). and Jubilate', written for the Coronation of George 111., are out of date. They have done good service ; but not being composed of the same imperishable stuff as the Coronation Anthem of Handel (for George II.), they have be come—to use a familiar expression—" aged," Why not, then, set them aside ? Mr. Goss —one of the most learned and accomplished musicians we pm sees—would surely find a pleasure in enriching, at one and the same time, his art and the resources of the Cathedral to which he belongs, with some com positions from his pen. His anthem for the funeral of the " Great Duke" is one of the most solemn and impressive pieces of Church music this age has pro- / - 1~ i ~~ ~i S PAPE i. gyp" ~~:~'' I Purity, Spioo, Harold, Advance, British ttk .....

We should be doing an injustice to one of the most effec tual aids to the success of these Ascot meetings if we failed to mention the skill and:care with which the A division o police under Mr Superintendent Walker discharged their duties. It is rarely that the police please everybody, bat at this meeting at Ascot they appear to have accomplished that most difficult result, and that they certainly tried hard to do so is deserving of every praise.

This afternoon at 3 o'clock, Mr Woods, the coroner for he western division of the county of Surrey, opened an investigation at the Railway Inn, in this town, into the circumstances attew.ling the death of Richard Wilkie, Edwin Hail, joseph Clegg,, William Winfield, and John Coppard, Nv la o were killed by the lamentable catastr , :phe which occurred on Tuesday evening du:lug the running of the return trains from the Ascot races. The investigation created a great amount of excitement, and in consequence of the vast number of persons who attended it wr.s found necessary to adjourn the inquiry to the Reading-rooms. • Mr L. Crombi3 and Mr L. Clark attended on behalf of the London en I South-Weaken ; and Mr Chubb (of the fittn of Dean, Chubb, and Saunders, of South-square, Gray's-inn), represented the widow ot . Mr Hall , Mr Robinson (Robinson and Tomlin), appeared for the relatives of Joseph Clegg; and Mr Ed ward Newman represented the widow and friends of Mr R. Wilkie. A jury of 15, having been sworn, proceeded to the coach house of the Railway Inn, where the remains of the unfor tunate deceased, Wilkie, Hall, Clegg, and Coppard, lay in coffins, while those of Winfield were uncoffined. The de ceased Hall had both his legs completely severed from his body, while the body itself was lacerated in a most fright ful manner; Joseph Clegg had his back broken, and his body fearfully cut about ; Richard Wilkie had frightful concussions on the head, concussion of the brain, and his right arm literally torn from the shoulder ; the arms of John Coppard were broken and his body severely contused. The principal injury to William Winfield was his right hand being torn off at the wrist. More or less the bodies pre- seated a sickening and ghastly appearance. The Coroner having severally sworn the jurymen, pro ceeded co say he was quite sure the jury would carefully investigate the cause of the fearful calamity which had hap.. pened, involving the deaths of no less than five individuals and serious injury to several others, two especially, one of t whom was lying in the neighbourhood in a very precarious state, and another in one of beforeoftheL them. H London hospitals. h ital a s d . belei told lo was quite sure they would feel with deep sorrow and regret th e t v h e e ry de p a a t i h n s fu h l a t d es as r kt u h l e t y had ed in consequence of a collision of tw o trains at the Egham station. Various rumours had reached him, which be of course discarded, and he attended as coroner quite unprejudiced and to act impartially to all, as he trusted they (the jury) would do. The railway company and their employes, on exceptional occasions, like those of the Ascot races, had necessarily imposed upon them most onerous, anxious, and responsible duties, and the public had a right on all occasions, exceptional or otherwise, to be satisfied that the most ample precautions were resorted to for insuring their safety. Upon the present occasion he did not purpose going into general evidence, but he thought it right to assemble the jury on the earliest possible opportu nity that the bodies might be delivered up to their friends for interment. As it would be necessary to adjourn the investigation, all he then proposed to do was to have the bodies identified, in order that he might issue his warrant for their removal. The jury having viewed the bodies, the first witness called was, Edward Booker, of Steward's-place, King's-road, Chelsea, corpenter and builder. He said—l have seen the dead bodies, and I identify amongst them that of Robert Wilkie, He was a publican, and resided at 25, Wellington-row, Chelsea, and kept the Globe Tavern. Tie was about 51 years of age. James Pattison said—l live in Stratford -mews. lam a jobmaster. I have seen the dead bodies, and I identify that of Edwin Hall, who is my brother-in-law. He was a cern merchant, residing in Duke street, Manchester-square. He was about 40 years old.
