Poor Mary is doomed to undergo a very sad fate. The folly of he,r father in giving her such a step mother,, and the carelessness of her husband , all play into the hand of the fearful Olivia and the designing Paul.

The Trials of the Tredgolds" is proceeded with, and furnishes some exciting scenes. Poor Bryer meets with a fearful accident, and his case is consi dered hopeless. There is an article on " William Lisle Bowles," which is interesting to peruse. It enters critically into his works, and says that his xrkission was to inaugurate anew era, and, to enable him to do this, he reverted to nature, and wrote from original observation. "Daughters of Eve " is an account of the career of Claudine Francoise, popularly called Marie Uliquot. Her ad ventures were most remarkable, and, as often happens in the fall of those who achieve great distinction, the end was as tranquil as the commence ment, for we learn that, " in the pious retirement of a Carmelite convent, the curtain at last descends on the lifeless and time-wasted form of the once lovely Claudine, who set out on her long and bravely. accomplished life-pilgrimage, in the wooden clogs of a Dauphine p e asant, to end it, without once swerving from the path of womanly purity, the widow of a king." The St. James's Magazine. \Ve have, as usual, further instalments of the two stories that are gradually proceeding in these pages. There is some similarity between them, inasmuch as we apprehend that both in " Aubrey Marston" and " Madeleine Graham" skilfully concealed fraud is a prominent agent. There are some points in the latter which will remind the reader of a cause celebre which was heard some years since. "Home Life in Algiers" is one of those papers on the French colony which are not uncommon in serials. It is founded on a recent French work. There are two papers of warning to credulous and impres sible mortals, each narrating the story of daring and successful tricks, which were too serious in their results to the victims to be alto gether laughable. The sufferers are very different specimens of the genus dupe, the one being the sharp, practical partner in a rich City firm ; the other a widow lady of " nerves" and " flusters." Tne gentleman falls a victim to the acts of a lady's maid, who passes herself off as an heiress, the heiress's uncle being a principal party to the scheme. The lady rashly draws a large sum of money from the bank alone. She is watched, followed, dragged from the railway carriage she enters, on a charge of shoplifting, by " Inspector" Marsh and his assis tant, taken in a cab to the station-house, and on the way relieved of money, watch, and jewellery, to discover at last that the station-house is a blacking warehouse, and the whole affair an artful and daring plot for the transfer of the hundred and forty-nine pounds from her cherished reticule to the pockets of Inspector Marsh. The fifth part of " Royal Favourites" tells the story of the rise and downfal of the Concini, the unworthy favourites of an un worthy mistress, Marie de Mediei, consort of Henry the Fourth, and Queen Regnant of France. London Society. London Society is, as Tana], bright and sparkling, and full of fascinations for the idle hour, the railway train, or the reader of any kind who shrinks from solid and perhaps tedious study. Tales and sketches, both of pen and pencil, abound; the latter, gene rally, of a very high order—witness the brilliant Amy and the discontented Lady Clare of the pre sent number. " London Society Abroad" is an agreeable chronicle of continental wanderings, not without a tinge of romance; "Paris at Easter" is another picture of foreign life. This time among the natives. " Out of Town in the Season" is a light and pretty domestic tale, while " A Dreadful Discovery" is a tragical farce. Part VII. of " Cricketana" relates the fortunes of recent matches, and a paper on "London Editors" gives us some ac count of the leaders of the Fourth Estate a century since. " The Flowers of the Season" is a pleasant essay, prettily illustrated; and an essay on "Kent and its Oysters" will delight the epicure. The National Magazine. The National Magazine, although not equal to many of its rivals, has improved of late. There is no lack of fiction, for we have three tales or in stalments of tales, one of them being from the pen of the well-known author, Captain Mayne Reid. The second possesses those elements of mystery and excitement so highly prized by some readers, while the third is a more simple story of the conflict be tween love and ambition. Its scene is laid in Ame rica. A paper on the customs of Calabar on the African coast recounts some of the singular super stitions and cruel practices of the natives. A criti cism on the Academy Exhibition, and a tribute to the memory of John Clare are among the remaining papers. Macmillan's Magazine. lincmtllan is more entertaining than usual this munth. It opens, of course, with that inevitable feature in its table of contents—the continuation of the story of " Vincenzo, or Sunken Rocks." The story is interesting, but painful ; turning princi pally upon the domestic wretchedness of its hero, whom it leaves in an awkward and invidious posi tion. Mr. Rossetti contributes a criticism on " Ani mal Design and Landscape," which treats of some of the di st i nctive features of those branches of art in our. d ay — according the fret place in the former to Sir Edwin Landseer. Artistic subjects are in favour this month, for a little further on we come to an interesting , Paper on 46 The Exercise ? t Taste in the Ar rangement of a House;' in which four friends, of very varied habit s and inclinations, hold discourse on the harrnony„ colours and oth er art- i nfluences com i ng into tu e sphere of d a il y li fe.

This we attention gives the k e y t o hi s di sco urse, but . fear that th e c l ass of readers he alludes to, who are generally ladies, are incurable offenders. No one who really cares much for what is being read, or understands much about it, would join a conver sation, take up knittings, or study the mysteries of the toilette par parentiv:'se. The practic contribu , tions are far above the average: There are some graceful and mournful verses by the Dean of Can terbury, in which, however, we must deprecate the rhyme of " gone " and " dawn," and a very charm ing poem by Mrs. Norton on " Helen's 'rower," recently erected by Lord Dufferin on the coast of his Irish estate, and so called in honour of his mother. It is, says the poetess, meant to chronicle— The love that dawns with dawning life, And lives till Life is done ; A watchtower in the weary strife, Where Fate's rough billows run , The changeless love, where change is rife — A Mother's for her Son I Oh ! whether gleaming from the hill, When stars the night adorn, Or reddening with the silver rill, Tinged by the rosy morn — Repeat the gracious legend still To children yet unborn ! Tell how the wisest and the best Have owned its holy power ; Tell how the worst—in wild unrest Of some repentant hour, — Its spell of comfort have confect, With tears in bitter shower. Like that great love—(whose strength hath mado The feeblest bosoms warm) Tam., givest only mortal aid, Thou cant not rule the storm; But eyes of souls that aro afraid Shall bless the steadfast form I When lurid lightning glimmering flecks The elemental war, Drenched sailors, treading slanting decks, Shall hail thee from afar I Even so, the drifting HUMAN wrecks Turn where their watch-towers are. BEETON'S PUBLICATIONS. Mr. Beeton's monthly budget adapts itself to the taste of a varied class of readers. We have first the continuation of the beautifully got up Illumi nated Bible, which is now approaching the conclu sion of the Old Testament. Then there is the Eng lishwoman's Domestic Magazine, a marvel of utility and cheapness; the Boy's Own Magazine, the Boy's Penny Magazine, and the Curzostties of Savage Life, for The denizens of the schoolroom or rather of the playground; the Dictionary of Universal Informa tion, and the Book of Home Games. All these vary ing serials are conducted with unflagging spirit, and will be welcomed by their several kinds of readers. Cardinal Wiseman on Roman Catholic Churches and Schools. One of our morning contemporaries gives the fol lowing pastoral as read in all the Catholic churches yesterday : " The many extraordinary occupations which press upon us at this moment, in addition to our usual unfailing duties, prevent our addressing you at such length as we should have desired on occasion of our usual Trinity Sunday col. lection. " Its object, as you well know, is the erection of churches and schools ; and it forms the almost exclusive resource in our arch diocese for this purpose. And the day appointed for it has been well selected, since thus we place under the divine patronage of the holy and undivided Trinity, one God, that which is directly intended for the preaching and the teaching of those sublime mysteries and those eternal truths which God the Father has revealed to us through His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, and confirmed by the grace of their co-equal Spirit, the divine Paraclete." After dwelling on the benefits which the early Roman Catholic Church had conferred on humanity, by extending civilisation, preserving the learning, arts, and science:; of the ancients, diffusing knowledge, and above all by maintaining in their pristine purity the great truths of primitive Chris tianity—the pastoral went on to insist on the necessity of a firm belief in the teachings of the Church, and the vainness of attempting to test or refute them by the light of mere human reason. It then proceeds to say : _ " The duty of the Catholic Church is the same in the in tellectual nineteenth century as it was in the third or the tenth. She must as faithfully preserve and as carefully transmit the treaeure of her traditions. And, therefore, if she have the same guarantees and safeguards now as ever, she must employ the same means. She must deliver to little ones the truths which she taught to their fathers ; she must nourish her flock, old and new, with the same bread of doctrine and the same food of grace. She must in other words, have schools for her education and churches for her worship and preaching. The lambs and the sheep of her fold must be assiduously and tenderly cared for. But then that flock increases in almost in every place, not only by conversion, but, so to speak, by discovery. There are re gions hidden from sight in this metropolis which have to be explored, and when they are explored they are found rich in souls, but unfortunately uncultivated ones, which require new attention, and consequently additional resources. " Thank God that it is so dearly beloved ; and be not dis mayed by the additional burdens which this His mercy in..- poses on you. For what shall we do ? Shall we abandon these thousands of poor creatures, redeemed by the most precious blood of our divine Redeemer, to certain perdition from want of timely succour ? God forbid I And you your selves would forbid it even to be thought. We know that you rejoice with us, when you hear of a new church being opened, an additional convent being created, a fresh mission undertaken. And you know that generally your joy will be taxed by new claims upon your charity, and still you rejoice and ask for more of this expensive luxury, and encourage us to do still more. " But, as the Apostle tells us that the husbandman shall taste the fruit of his labour to be so encouraged to further work, we will venture to place before you a few statistics of our material progress in the course of somewhat more than a twelvemonth, including last year and what is past of this. In 1809 we presented you a fuller retrospect of a longer period, but we will only refer back to it to remark that at least three missions which were there mentioned as depen dencies, or offshoots of others, have since been planted out, and are growing up alone. " 1. Within the short period, however, just mentioned, there have been built from their foundations, with one ex ception of purchase but subject to the necessity of almost re-construction, six entirely new churches —the German, the Italian, and those in Ogle-street, Great Ormond-street, Hendon, and at the Franciscan Convent in Bayswater. " 2. Four have been greatly enla r g ed ; an additional aisle has been added to the churches of Hackney and the Holy Family; the chapel of Walthamstow has been more than doubled ; that of Ingateston e is being considerably increased." After referring to the schools and convents that have been finished during the past year, the Cardinal goes on to say— " In all these wuks, to the enumeration of which it would be premature to add others existing yet only in promise or good intentions, we have to acknowledge gratefully the aid of most munificent benefactions. We feel that we should only be paining the delicacy, and perhaps restraining the charity of generous givers to God and His poor by attract theinm g individual attention towards them. May God reward ou, dear ly beloved children, pray as He only can. But do y earnestly for them that our merciful Lord will ' repay to all our benefactors, for His name's sake, eternal life.' Nor must we omit to recommend to your prayers and on support th a t magrificont inst itution, the French Propagati of the Faith, without whose repeated and generous benefactions we must candidly own that we should often have been re duced to great straits. " Our contributions last Trinity Sunday amounted to £395 19s. 2d. ti Alas ! what is this among so many that need help You will easily see bow far beyond this feeble aid have been the exigencies of the diocese. We fear that a false reputa tion of the wealth of the metropolis, and exaggerated reports o f its ecclesiastical resources, deprive us of much sympathy and assistance, which dig for themselves other channels. Now, though most sincerely rendering our hearty thanks to many who, having great obligations to discharge at home, kindly and munificently contribute to our charities here. let us remark that the number of resident rich is small in London compared with the immense crowd of its poor and destitute. Of these we have far beyond the proportion in other places, and we need, therefore, much exteinal aid. "Wherefore, in the name of Holy a nd undivided Trinity, we we exhort you—nay, we conjure y ou to contribute largelyinvite, and with good heart to the collection m ade on the Sunday especially dedicated to the commemoration of this divine y ro st ay . ery the God of all consolation first inspire you to do great things for His sake, and then reward you for your c harity as He only can . ‘, Given, and ord ere d to b chapels of the archdicceseoflev read in al eetminster, a e l churches n and Sunday, this 31st day of May, 1863 c e x a N n o n s ug ,L WISEMAN. " N. F. EARL; Seeretary.,, GREAT NORTHERN HOSPITAL, KING'S CROSS.- Number of patients for the week ending May 30, 1,046, of which 378 were new cases. HE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A FRENCH GENTLE MAN IN THE CITY.—Upon inquiry yesterday it Was found that Mons. Hypolite Linde, the French gentleman who attempted to commit suicide at Fiveash's Hotel some short time back, has sufficiently recovered as to allow of his removal from the hospital. He is still very weak, one of the bullets having passed through his lungs, rem:oring his recovery uncertain. On removal from the hospital, after some slight investigation, he was handed over to the care of his friends, who, it is stated, have had him conveyed to the Continent, THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND. (From the Correspondent of the Ti /las.) CRAcow, , May 24. Authentic news from Lithuania is not received here very regularly. By the last reliable accounts there were ten detachments in the province or " govern went" of Kovno. Among the names of the chiefs many of great distinction are mentioned. In seve ral districts proprietors, peasants, and persons of all classes had joined the insurrection. Jablonowski, finding himself at the head of a band of 2,000 strong, had divided it into three. The Abbe Mackiewicz, in a hand-to-hand engagement, in which the Rus sians lost 50 men and an ammunition waggon, had led the sithe company of his detachment in person. The gallant ecclesiastic afterwards " abolished the Russian Government" throughout one district. In the province of Grodno the insurrection was general, and all the marshals of the nobility and justices of the peace had resigned—according to some statements, in Grodno only ; according to others, of a later date, throughout Lith uan i a. Thus, all the independent officials, elected or nominated from among the landed proprietors, had abandoned the Government. Even the Russian civil functionaries were being replaced in some localities by military officers. In the province of Minsk each district was send ing a fixed number of men to join the insurrection. In Mohilew (or Mogileff) a general levy had like wise been ordered, and a considerable body of in surgents had beaten the Russians just outside Orsza, and pursued them and driven them from the town with great loss. Orsza was after wards occu pied by the Poles, and the National Government proclaimed. Let the reader unversed in the geography of Mohilew (or Mogileff) look at the map, and ne wil find Orsza on the Dnieper, at about an equal die tance from the capital of the province and from the Russian city of Smolensk, and not more than 30 or 40 miles from the boundary of the Smolensk pro- Vince. Mohilew was annexed to Russia at the first partition, in 1772. It is the most astern of the Lithuanian provinces, and if there is one town in ancient Poland which might have bean expected more than another to have become Russian (were such a chance possible at all) that town is certainly Orsza, situated as it is close to the frontiers of the Russian empire, and on the high road to Smolensk and Moscow. In several places between Orsza and Kieff the in surrection has appeared on the right bank of the Dnieper. Looking, however, not from north to south, bat from east to west, and from the Dnieper to the Baltic, we find that Orsza is connected by insurrection with Polanga, and between Orsza and Polanga and across the extensive provinces of Wilna and Kovno one insurrectionary chain ex tends.

MAY 25, A Government despatch has been received here , r i v i ng news of a for midable insurrection around r 5 Kaininiec-Poclolski, the capital of Podolia. Hitherto the existence of t he Podoiian insurrection has been positively denied by the Austrian official jour nal published at Lemberg. There are still no let ters of importance from either Volhynia, Podolia, or the Ukraine of a la ter date than the 17th, up to which time it may be fairly said that in Podolia no rising of any magnitude seemed to have taken place. it is squally certain that in the last-named province the Polish movement is now assuming considerable proportions. In the three provinces, together form ing one vast flat territory nearly twice as large as the Congress-kingdom, the Russians have scarcely 45,000 men. Whence will they draw the reinforce ments which they must certainly send to this most highly-prized portion of all the Polish soil subjected to their rule ? Not from the districts in the King dom which adjoin Galicia—for fresh expeditions are on the point of leaving Cracow to try the force of the Russians in those parts; not from Lithuania, where the insurrection goes on increasing, if not in intensity, at least in extent, and where large num bers of troops have to be kept near the coast to pre vent a landing, which, if the coast were quite clear, and the weather were rather foggy, might be effected at any time. Certainly not from Warsaw, where the garrison is already thought to be rather weak nor from the country around "Warsaw, where all classes, secretly or openly, are assisting the insurrec• tion, and where one large district (that of Rawa) has been for some time in the hands of the insurgents. Near Polanga, again, on the Baltic, the Russians are constantly threatened. On the Dnieper, up in the north, and in the vicini t y of Smolensk, they have lost the town of Orsza ; some 50 miles to the south-east of Warsaw they ha\ 3 lost t he town and district of Rawa. They have, moreover, bee n beaten and pursued eight miles o Within f the capital , a nd they h ave had the city of lie to iti fight a little battle ju st out side, which has belonged to the Russian empi re since 1683.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WEST MIDLAND. A Wharnelitle meeting of this company was held on Fri lay at Worcester—Mr. Fenton in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the object of the meeting was to consider certain bills now before Parliament, namely, a bill to enable the company to make a b ranc h i n t h e county of Glamorgan, and to relinquish the Stratford and More ton Railway ; a bill to authorise the Leominster and King ton Railway Company to enter into working arrangements with and to lease or sell their railway to the Great West ern and West Midland Companies; and a bill for autho rising the Stourbridge Railway Company to raise further moneys, and for other purposes. On the motion of the Chairman, formal resolutions approving the bills were adopted. WATERFORD AND K ILKENNY, The half .yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the Loudon Tavern ; Mr. T.

The traffic of the line for the past half-year ex ceeded that of the previous corresponding period by £742, although great depression in trade existed, owing to a suc cession of three bad harvests. The directors recommended that a dividend at the rate of 1/ per cent, per annum be paid on the preference stock of the company for the past half-year, leaving a balance of £204. The works on the portion of the extension line under contract, from Kilkenny to Abbeyleix, were being actively carried on, and it was ex pected they would be completed by the end of the year. The directors had reason to believe that efforts would be made by certain shareholders to put an end to the local manage ment, which,if successful, would be ruinous to the concern ; and the directors had therefore asked the shareholders gene rally for their support at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. The report entered at some length into expla nations and figures, refating the allegations which had been repeatedly made at meeting after meeting of the com pany to the effect that the local management had reduced the annual balance for dividend, increased the interest on the debt, and prevented the line being leased to advantage. The capital account shoved that £595,054 had been ex pended, leaving a balance of £602. The CHAIRMAN, having moved the adoption of the report, Mr. DELAIItiNTY seconded the motion, and in doing so stated that their line andanother were the only two lines in Ireland that had shown an increase in their receipts as com pared with the corresponding period of the preceding year. The receipts of all the other Irish lines for the past year were under those of 1860. The South-Eastern line, from Carlow to Kilkenny, which served an adjoining district to that of their line, had shown a falling off in the receipts of t 1 : 0 i me periplra preceding c c : c od : li tn.pgaarsi year,comparedsonshowed while hwith receiptsthe o n the corresponding lv a Waterford r period a and Kilkenny Railway showed an increase of 8 per cent, on a This, he thought, must be considered satisfactory, and showed that the local management had attended to the inte - ests of the company. The great mis fortune of the company was that the railway had cost £20,000 a mile, or about three times more than it ought to have cost. The oily mode of improving the condition of the 31 miles of old ',inc now in operation was by extending it into the interior cf the country. The local board had done their best to develole the traffic, but they had not received the support they hal expected. They had obtained an act authorising the construction of 42 miles of extension line, of which 19 miles had been contracted for and would be open for traffic before the end of the year, If all parties interested would unite and su)scribe the necessary funds the extension line would soon be completed, at a moderate cost, and a large amount of athitional traffic would be brought over the old line to Waterford and shipped to Milford Haven for South Wales and other places. A long and personal discussion ensued, in which Mr. Adams, Mr. Carder, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Radcliffe, the solicitor to the company, took part, after which the report was adopted ; a dividend at the rate of 11 per cent. per an num was declared for the past half-year on the preference stock ; the retiringdirectors, Mr. J. M. Tidmarsh, and Mr, C. Whetham, were re-elected , and also Mr. C. H. Robin son, the retiring atditor. A vote of thanksto the chairman concluded the proceed ings. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic receipts on this company's line for the month of April amounted, on 127 miles, to 11,234 dols for passen gers, mails, &c., and to 43,826 dole for freight ; total, 55,060 dols, against 10,394, on 50 miles, for the corresponding months of 1862, showing an increase of 67 miles and 44,666 in the receipts. Cn May IS the line from Salamanca to Akron, with branches to the oil wells, a length of 240 miles, was opened for traffic. VICTORIAN. The traffic receipts on the Victorian Government Rail ways, 196 miles in length, amounted for the week ending Feb. 26 last, to 11,075, against £4,045 on 92 miles open in the corresponding weeg of last year, showing an increase o 104 miles and of £7,020 in the receipts. The aggregate re ceipts from Jan. 1 to the above date amounted to £71,429 against £33,815 for the c orresponding period of 1862, show-, ing an increase of £37,614. DRAIERARA.

The works were progressing and some of them were r e t urning a profit, but not equ i va l en t t o th e ex penditure. Th o i nformation received f rom I n di a showed that the returns would amply repay them for the outlay. It was the duty of the Government to encourage works of irrigation, as they were of inestimable value to the country. Their company was the first of the sort, and had no gua rantee, and was consequently free from Government inter ference. The dire tors would not make any call upon the shareholders this year, nor until they had given satisfactory proof that there would be a profitable return for the outlay. Mr. BOUVEBIE, M.P.. seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. In answer to a question it was stated that the Government was entitled to receive half the profits arising from irriga tion, domestic purposes, mills, &c., but nothing else, and the company was entitled to the whole profit arising from navigation. The report was adopted unanimously, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Accident on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. The line was cleared and the rails properly relaid in sufficient time yesterday morning to enable the 655 a.m. train to proceed to its destination. The company's engineers and officers are making a strict investigation into all the circumstanees, but have as yet made no detailed statement of the result of their inquiry. It appears that Salmon, the engine -driver, was not killed upon the spot, but that after linger ing in great agony from the scalds and burns he had received, he died on Saturday afternoon at St. Thomas's Hospital, Surrey-gardens. Tribe, the fire man, who was fearfully scalded and burned, and who lies at the same hospital, under the superin tendence of Mr. Simon, was going on favourably up to last night, and hopes were entertained of his re covery. The guardsmen at the Grenadier Hospital in Rochester-row were at a late hour last night re ported to be doing well also, under the care of the medical officers of the establishment, Drs. Lane and Wardrop. There are 28 of them in all in the wards, and between eight and ten of them suffer from se vere fractures and contusions. No fatal cases are expected unless erysipelas sets in. There are about a dozen other soldiers at the Wellington and St. George's barracks, who are suffering from minor contusions. Besides the persons just mentioned, the passengers who have suffered the most severe inju ries are Dr. Cureton, rector of St. Margaret's, West minster, dreadfully injured about the face and legs, and his daughter, whose legs are fractured. Yesterday a special telegraphic message was re ceived by the commanding officers from her Ma jesty at Balmoral expressing her regret at the catastrophe, and her sympathy with the sufferers; and an answer was despatched in acknowledgment stating that the men were going on favourably. Special messengers were also despatched by the Prince of Wales during the day to inquire after the welfare of the wounded men. Among those who visited the hospital during Saturday and yesterday, and spoke to the wounded men personally, were the Duke of Cambridge, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Earl Howe, Lord Rokeby, Gen. Stanhope, Col. Lambert, Colonels Beppel, Burnaby, Hon. M. Stanley, and other officers of the battalion. The following communication was on Saturday received from Mr. Frederick Slight, the Secretary of the Company : " I have at present no more than a formal re port of the account, from which it would seem that the train leaving Brighton at 5 p.m. yesterday arrived at Croydon safely, and, that the Victoria portion of it, consisting of 16 vehicles, left Croydon four minutes late. Nothing occurred until its arrival within the distant signal at the Streatham-common station,when the engine began to oscillate consider ably,and immediately after left the line, turned over on its siC. c and then exploded,which of course dragged the carriages off the line, seriously injuring several of the passengers. Mrs. Chilver, of New Burling ton-street, was killed, and also two men of the Grenadier Guards; 20 other soldiers, and seven other passengers were also more or less injured. The driver and foreman of the train are both injured dangerously, but the two guards escaped. The matter is of course being investigated. At present the cause does not appear clear, as the permanent way is believed to have been in good order, and the engine was one of several constructed by this company in 1858 for running on this portion of the railway." The inquest on the bodies of Eliza Chilver, aged 53, Charles Stone, aged 40, and George Blundin, 29, privates in the Grenadier Guards, was opened on Saturday at the Pied Bull, Streatham, by Mr. Carter, the coroner. Mr. Harrison, of the firm of Mr. White, solicitors to the regiment of Grenadiers, attended to watch the case on behalf of the regi ment, and Mr. Faithfal on the part of the Brighton Railway Company. Emily Turner, servant in the employ of the de ceased Mrs. Chilver, identified the body of her mis tress; and John Mann, private of the Grenadier Guards, identified:the bodies of his two comrades, Stone and Blundin. The jury having seen the bodies and the spot where the accident occurred, and having returned to the jury room. John Mann was recalled, and said that he was in the next carriage to that in which the deceased sol diers were travelling. The deceased Blundin he knew to be In the train, as he had seen him put his head out of the carriage window at Hay ward's heath, and he saw Stone get into the same carriage with Blundin. Just before the accident took place the carriages sway very much to and fro, chiefly to the right, and in almost a moment the carriage in which he was sitting was shivered to pieces, He tried to get out of the window, hut before he could do so the bottom of the carriage slipped away, and he slid out on the ground. When he got out all the carriages were of a heap, some of them being capsized and turned over. Numbers of his comrades were calling for assistance, and witness went to their help. At least five minutes elapsed before he was able to extricate the deceased men. Blundin was lying on the ground wedged in between masses of wood and iron. With the help of some others he removed him from his position, but he was then quite dead. He saw Stone about the same time. He also was wedged in by iron and wood and a per fect wreck of broken carriages, and was near to Blundin. A piece of iron was resting on his head. When extricated he was dead. Mr. Chilver examined, said--I am a medical prac titioner, residing at 14, New Burlington -street. The deceased, Eliza Chilver, was my wife. We were on our return from St. Leonards to London, and travelling in a first-class carriage: After passing Hayward's-heath there was more shaking of the carriages than usual. I did not speak of it, as I thought it might create alarm. My opinion was that the carriages were not well braced up. The motion afterwards suddenly became very uneasy, the carriages rocked very much ; this increased to a great extent, and it seemed that we were tearing up the road, as if the carriages were off the line. The swinging increased very rapidly, and the car- riage fell over to the left side. I had hold of the arm band, and kept my seat; my wife was thrown on the floor. The carriage parted in several places. I had not much difficulty in removing the deceased. She was fearfully wounded in the face and head. I do not know at what rate the train was travelling. I can only say that it was going fast. Dr. Robert Stewart, physician, of Streatham (examined), said that about six o'clock on Friday something had occurred on the railway near the Streatham.common station. On reaching the spot he saw the deceased lady lying on the side of the bank. She was then living. She had sustained a fracture of the lower jaw on the left side, and a lace rated torn wound from the angle of the left lip down to the end of the jaw ; also a semi-circular scalp wound on the back part of the head, apparently about four or five inches in length. The injuries were no doubt caused by violence, and were sufficient to cause death. There was a quantity of gravel, or dirt, in the hair, as though the head had come in contact with the ground. She did not survive more than half an hour after he saw her. Witness also saw the two soldiers, one of whom (Blundin) bad apparently been suffocated by steam or gas, or great pressure. The other (Stone) received injuries to the spine and neck. The deaths in both cases were the result of violence. At this stage of the inquiry the proceedings were adjourned, in order to afford time for the attendance of professional witnesses, and an examination by the Government Inspector. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. SATURDAY REVIEW.—The difference which from the first was obser;hle in the style of the Presidents of the rival sections in America wean to extend in full force to their subordinates. if anything / the contrast is more violent in the Generals than in the Presidents. Mr. Lincoln's ;;Jused grammar and blundering metaphors compared unfavourably enough with the scholarlike ease of Mr. Davis's composition ; and in all his troubles, he has shown nothing of that calm imperturbable confidence in a holy cause which distinguished the address of the Southern President after the disasters which fol lowed the surrender of Fort Donnelson. Yet Mr. Lincoln's manifestoes were the composition of an honest man, endowed with at least a certain amount of self-respect. They are utterly unworthy to be mentioned in the same breath with the literary effort with which General Hooker has just astounded the world. Richly as the Northern armies are provided with professors in the art of impudent braggadocio, there is probably not one of them be sides " fighting Joe" who would have conceived the bright idea of complimenting his army, just halted from a secret midnight flight after three bloody de feats, upon " the celerity and secresy of their move ments," or who would have informed them that, by running back across the river to avoid another battle, " the army had given renewed evidence in itself." There is something inimitably fine in the bold language in which he announces the determi nation of his soldiers " to decline battle whenever their interest or honour may command it, as if that were the particular exercise of military discretion in regard to which Ge neral Lee was likely to make an attempt to force their inclinations. So long as declining battle means running away, it is probable that the Con federates will give them every facility for fulfilling their magnanimous resolution, and, lest they should falter, will even assist it by an extraneous impulse from behind. There is something, too, that is worthy of admiration in the " new laurels" which the Federal army is said to have added to its former renown. The achievements out of which theie lau- rels grow consist of " having made long marches, crossed rivers, surprised the enemy in his entrench ments, and wherever they fought, inflicted heavier blows than those they received." The last asser tion is strictly untrue, and if it had been true, would have ma - de their hasty flight only more inex _ . cusable still. The other acliieveinents;" of making long marches and crossing rivers," have probably never before in the history of the world been made the subjects of a commanding officer's felicitations, especially when they ended in a midnight flight. But the finest touch of all is the sentimental rehee tion—" The events of the last week may well cause the heart of every officer and soldier to swell with pride." To address such a congratulation to an army which, after having been told that the enemy's forces were its "legitimate property," was again and again beaten and cut to pieces by those forces, and was ultimately obliged to creep back across the Rappahannock in the darkness of a stormy night, strewing gesover which which was a i s t passed with twigs, lest th th e e re bid b r el army such its " property" should hear th e footste p s of its a tale to such owners running away—to tell an army betokens a Quixotism of impudence which leaves the imaginary creations of Fa l staff, Parolles,_ and Bobadil deep in the shade. To be the most reckless and shameless braggart on the American Continent is a great distinction, and General Hooker appears to have fully earned it. SPECTATOR.—Though Jackson had, at Washing ton, before the war, the reputation of a hypochon driac, and nialade imaginaire, he does not seem to have had any of the acerbity of the Puritan type of piety, An Englishman who recently visited him described him as a tall, handsome man, with-dark blue, searching eyes, and with simplicity and consi derateness written in his face as well as his act ions. A general in full work who would take real pain s, as General Jackson did, to dry a stranger's coat for him by a given hour is not of the gloomily spiritu al for type. A n d every one represents General Jack son thoughtfulness and gentleness to others as only less remarkable than his prompt military rigour. A general may be the idol of his men who sim p l y leads them uniformly to victory. But the man who pro mised not in vain for his soldiers that they should " stand like a stone wall" at Bull Run, who burst like a thunderbolt upon poor General Pope's rear when that commander thought him in his front or far away—who, after a rapid and hotly contested march through Maryland, struck successfully at Harper's Ferry before the relief could come—who, on his last battle-field, turned the enemy's menacing position and inflicted a severe defeat—needed no other power over his men than that of the military confidence he inspired. But it is well known that his real 'power over them was multiplied greatly, not only by his habit of praying with them per sonally before and after battle, as a pious soldier should, instead of abandoning them to a chaplain, but by the rare self denial with which he insisted on sharing their hardships, and the thoughtful solicitude he showed for their welfare. No doubt General Jackson has done as much to give an imaginative character of grandeur and holiness wholly undeserved (?) to the Confederate defence and cause, as President Davis has done to give it a tone of intellectual dignity and strength. LONDON REVIEW.—The great Duke of Welling ton declared that the presence of Napoleon with his army was worth 40,000 men; and since the begin ning of the century there is probably no officer of whom the same could be said until Stonewall Jack son appeared upon the field. It is not difficult to obtain the popular applause of an hour by some dashing exploit, however foolhardy. But when a soldier like General:Robert Lee confesses that if he could have ordered events he would rather have directed the fatal bullet against himself than against his favourite lieutenant, the merits of that lieu tenant must have been indeed remarkable. Opinions may differ as to the cause in which General Stone wall Jackson died, but this difference is only an additional reason for endeavouring to ascertain the real circumstances which gave the officer whose loss every Southerner deplores his singular ascendancy. And even the people on this side the Alantic, 'who keep neutral between both parties, may learn a les son which may stand them in good stead when the time of trial comes. Since the breaking out of the civil war in America, there is nothing which proves more conclusively the capacity of Jefferson Davis, than the wisdom he has displayed in choosing his instruments. When the Confederate army that advanced to the banks of the Potomac, Gen. Beau regard was in command. As he was an accomplished engineer, and the object at that time was to main tain an entrenched position, the meaning of the selection was obvious. But as soon as the army retreated towards Richmond, on the advance of M'Clellan from Fortress Monroe, Beauregard was replaced by Lee and Stonewall Jackson. And from that moment until the present it would be difficult to point out a single instance in which either the military plans of the Commander-in-Chief or their execution by Stonewall Jackson have practically failed. Having determined upon pursuing a policy of strict defence they have rigidiy adhered to it, but at the same time, whenever a blow could be struck, they have not failed to strike with all their might. In the first place it is abundantly clear that Jackson had his Division in a perfect state of discipline, and his officers in perfect subordination. It is said that when he filled the office of a military professor in one of the Southern States, he exercised the most singular power over the students. What ever qualities may be possessed by Southern lads, it will scarcely be said that subordination is one of their cardinal virtues. But the mere presence of Stone wall Jackson was sufficient to subdue them. He had only to make his appearance in a room, and all was still. And the same power which he exerted as a Military Professor, he evidently exercised at the head of a division. But Jackson was more than a martinet. Like most great commanders, his men were passionately attached to him, and were proud to endure any hardships to execute his commands. As the Duke said of his Peninsular veterans, " he could go anywhere and do anything with them." Ragged, footsore, and half-starved, Jackson's corps made the most surprising marches—would suddenly a a p ft p e e r ar de o s n tr t o h y e in fi g an su k pp a l n ie d s raenadr oboftaitnhinegenmeomsty avalu ablend intelligence would return in safety to their original quarters. In abort, he had enterprise. But perhaps his leading characteristic was extra ordinary vigour guided by unerring prudence. Throughout Jackson's career it would be difficult to mention an instance in which any movements which he undertook failed. He seems to have _known precisely wh a t hi s men could accompl i sh. Undoubtedly h e taxed his men to the utmost, but he never s eems to have called upon them to do more than they were able. If a workman has only a certain quantity of material, his merit consists in making the most of it. The shipwright must know how to cut his timber, so that the smallest quan tity will be required. And in like manner the ability of an officer may be measured by the pro portion which the men employed bears to the ex ploit which he achieves. There are few commanders who have been more successful in this respect than Jackson. When he had resolved to strike a blow he approached with such a 'cresy and rapidity that the enemy had scarcely time to prepare to meet his attack, and onc e on th e fi e ld , he launched his troop! against th e o pp os i ng force with a con centrated violence which proved irresistible. EXAMINER..—Issue has at length been joined be tween the King and Parliament of Prussia_ That it has been so l ong d e l ayed is matter neither of wonder nor regret to those who intelligently sym pathise with the cause of law -made liberty against the lawless pretensions of Divine Right. With fatuous obstinacy the Royal plotter against the freedom of the nation sticks to the text he took for himself on the day he was crowned at Konigsberg. He would govern on the paternal principle, demand ing allegiance from all and owning it to none, de riving his title to command from Heaven, and responsible to it alone. [his was the theory of the Stuarts and the Bourbons ; and where it landed them after protracted conflicts with the communities they were born to torment and thwart and tyrannise over, every one except their legitimate kinsman, the King of Prussia, knows. If example had the power to warn royal fools and offenders which it is sup posed to have in deterring ordinary mortals from suicidal crimes, the House of Hohenzollern might yet be saved from the fate the conduct of its princes in past times has seemed so often to provoke. But the experience of one dynasty appears of none effect in teaching another ; awd as it Ns as in the beginning of the seventeenth century, it is now, and we sup pose ever shall be, infatuation without end. It is but justice to the representatives of the Prussian people to declare that throughout they have shown in every respect a maturity of judgment and a self control in temper, worthy of men long used to the working of constitutional government. From first to last their course has never swerved from the practical and definite assertion of a plain matter of fact claim, to exact beforehand a strict account from the Minister of War, of the number and cost of the army which they were expected to pay out of the people's pockets. Re proved in stern but not discourteous language by the House of Representatives for his lamentable for getfulness of his duty as a constitutional sovereign, William I. has given way to the first impulse of anger by closing the session in a manner somewhat abrupt in terms, though not in point of time. Whether the madmen who are about him will bid him follow up the prorogation by a dissolution, or whether they dream that by the end of autumn a portion of the existing deputies may be induced to waver from their present resolution and become more amenable to the arbitrary caprices of the Court, we know not, and the incoherent specula tions of such men are not worth guessing at. But whatever they are, and whatever they may be, the political future of Northern Germany cannot be doubtful. An impulse has been given to men's practical ideas as to the guarantees and safeguards indispensable to the secure enjoyment of liberty, which probably could not otherwise have been im parted to them. Many things not formally pro vided for by charter or statute would have been generously taken on trust twelve months ago, which men will never now be content to leave in the debateable land of matters-of course. Nothing, after what has happened, can be left henceforth to the ex officio wisdom of Ministers, or the hereditary wit of Kings. The wide neutral ground between prerogative and privilege through the lawless at tempt to appropriate it by dint of encroachment, has ceased to be common, and must now be rigor ously enclosed. It should be well for the Prussian people that their King has made so clear to them he course they must pursue. COURT JOURNAL.—The excitement concerning .he revelations made by Lord Henry Lennox as to he state of things in the Neapolitan prisons is far from abated at present, and the partisans of the Turin Cabinet are doing all that lies in their power to refute charges so damaging to their interests, as vs ell as disgraceful to their system of administration. But in this they fail egregiously, and Lord Henry is proved right in every essential matter. It is true he was mistaken as to La Perseveranza having been seized, but the Italian Ministers were obliged to ad mit that a large number of other papers had been suppressed by the police ; in fact, " suppression" seems to be the order of the day. It is not unnatu ral that Count Arrivabene should endeavour to vin dicate his cause from the charges so tellingly brought against it by Lord Henry Lennox, but_he wanders away from the subject altogether in a letter ad dressed to a sympathising daily paper. He answers Lord Henry by referring to Mr. Russell's Diary in India," as containing an account of the bad state of things in our prisons there, and considers it con clusive that the Italian Government may do wrong in Italy because the English Government (as he says) has badly-conducted prisons in India ! Count Arrivabene has shown himself a brave man, and a conscientious, though, perhaps, mistaken, lover of freedom ; but really it is but a bad return for Eng lish hospitality, and the way in which, owing to his nationality, and, of course, for no other reason whatever, he has been received into the best circles here, that he should turn round and accuse England of mismanagement as an excuse for the oppression , tyranny, and ill-government of his own country.
