This important line of railway will commence near the Midland Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near itridgeford, Holm°, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bet teeford, Whattex, Elton, the nett and fertile Vale of lielvoir, to the town of Grantham, thence passing through er near Folkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton, Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joiningthe intended Lynn and East Dereham Railway, will form the 'nest direct line of connexion be tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, aid Staffordshire, by means of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and other lines north of Nottingham; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Easters and Western coasts of the Kingdom. The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts Of Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with some of the best markets in England. The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a sapply of Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District will be ren dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of Nottingham. Surveys are now in progress, and the mature of the country is known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of the Line will lee nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex teasioa of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wiabeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report of the Board of Trade en the Lines through Lincoln shire, says : " The total cost attending the transmissiox of a quarter of wheat from the laterlor of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Bostoa to London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and other charges, is stated to amount to very near Se. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge of 1 1 4 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Uncoil Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges aro calculated not to exceed 2s. ad., thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of as. 6d. per quarter, occasiened by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &e." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happins that owing to the delay and difficulty of transralvtlen, the Farmer is com pelled to sell his wheat at Le nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com munication." The same remarks apply to the whole of the great maauttokuring districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 ACM, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engiaeer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire. The traffic *pox the intended Nottingham and Mans field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great increase of traffic from this line of railway. Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per eent. in terest upon deposits and calls, until completion of the line. Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs.

THE COLOSSEUM, Regent's Park, is NOW OPEN, under th• patronage of her Most Graslons Majesty and his Royal I - Ugliness Prince Albert. A good start was accomplished at the fourth attempt Idas leading off, followed by Salopian, Fuzbos, Cobweb colt, Wood Pigeon, Kedger, and Doleful, Pantasa and Merry Monarch next, side by side, and behind them Mentor and Pam, Annandale, and Old England lying in the centre. In this formation they ran at a good bat to the top of the hill, where Kedger and Doleful went to the front, and jointly carried on the running at an im proved pace, Pantasa aid the Merry Monarch next, with Wood Pigeon, Idas, Mentor. Pam, Old England, and AR nandale in their wake. They came thus to the turn, in rounding which Pam, ow i ng , as i t i s a ll eged, to another horse hanging upon him, struck into Wood Pigeon's heels and fell ; Weatherbit, who was following, jumped over him, and, being put out of his stride, of course lost some ground. Dol e f u l an d K e d ger kept their places to the distance, where the Merry Monarch went in front, followed by Annandale, Pantasa lying third, and Old England in company with Doleful, Kedger, and Wood Pigeon. The run-ia was all in favour of the Merry Mo narch, Annandale, never getting nearer than his quar ters, and being finally defeated in clever style by a length. Old England came at the last, and beat Pantasa for third place by a neck, Annandale beating him by a length. Next to this lot were Wood Pigeon, Doleful, and Kedger, and b e hi n d hi m was t h e Crack (who was in trouble before he got to the road), and Adonis. How the next ruck came in we could not make out, but those who pinned their faith on the Stanton nag, The Libel, must have been not a little mortified to per ceive that he was the first horse beaten and the last at the winning -chair. The Laird o'Cockpen, the Corumba colt, Worthless, Young Eclipse, The Black Prince, Cabin Boy, and several others, were beaten early. The pace was good all the way. Value of the stakes, 3,9751.

Hitherto the journalist in describing the Derby day had considerable latitude, and from his varied descrip tions one would be induced to think him übiquitous. He was like the " French falconer, flying at all he met," and all he did not meet. He painted, drawing no doubt upon his fancy and a good deal upon his experience, the appearances sad the casualties of the different avenues leading to the course. He spoke of the crowds at the Elephant and Castle, the stoppages at Kennington -gate, the crash at Sutton, the multitudes that passed over the different London bridges,—he described four-in-hands, tandems, gigs, carts, vans, flies, go-carts, and all sorts of turn-outs, from the splendid equipages of the west, to the ricketty vehicles of the costermonger and knacker. He painted the long line of carriages and equestrians that moved along the old turnpike roads ; and he had to record the smashing of coach-pannels, the collision and locking in of wheels; splinter-bars splintered; the cut tings in and out of the line, upsets and runnings away, fractured bones, and the insolence and extortion of the keepers. He had to mention troops of boarding-school boys drawn up in front of the various academies by the road-side, or mounted upon the play-ground walls, and young school-girls at the windows of their seminaries, admiring the splendid drags of the aristocracy, and the gaudy livery of postilions and out-riders, and laugh ing at and quizzing the multitude that passed by them in worn out stage-coaches, greengrocers' vans, shabby carts, or on foot. These amusing pictures are fast fading away, for the rail-roads have already almost put an end to them, and by this time next year they will have re ceived a coup de grace from the completion of an atmos pheric railway from London to the town of Epsom. There can be no doubt that this great change will very much injure the inns, &c., on the old roads, but it must improve the Epsom races very much, making them more numerous, and yet more select. Many a tradesman, whom want of time has prevented from ever seeing the Derby run for, will, when the atmospheric railway shall have been completed, become a spectator of that event, particularly when he can do so, and be back to business in a couple of hours. The Derby speculations this year, though certainly materially affected by the growing importance of the Chester Cup, were heavy in legitimate betting ; and had it not been for the Old England and Weatherbit affair, recorded by us on Tuesday, there would have been little or no "nobbling" to complain of. Derby lotteries and sweeps were numerous, but assuredly not so m uc h so as they were last year ; f o r confidence in them was cooled by the Running Rein business, and by the dishonest and disgusting legal obstructions thrown last year in the way of payment of prizes. This year it is to be hoped the treasurers of the lotteries will feel that they have no excuse to make, and that they will pay, without demur, the drawers of the winning horse. Another sort of speculation —we might properly call it a mania —viz., that in railroads, has interfered with and diminished the Derby betting. We fancy it would be very difficult to decide which was the safer speculation. The meeting yesterday was a numerous one. Al though it rained—not very heavily, it is true—from dawn until a little before noon, the weather-wise pro phesied a fine day. They were right in their prediction —between eleven and twelve o'clock the rain ceased, and the sun shone pleasantly during the whole of the races, and, almost up to the very moment of the start ing, arrivals on the course continued to take place. When, at half-past two, the bell for saddling rang, the course presented an animated and thronged appearance, the coup d'ail from the Grand Stand might have chal lenged comparison with the best days of Epsom. The hill just in front of the Stand was crowned with booths, and its sides and base were covered with carriages crammed with occupants of either sex. Close by, on the eastern side of the winning stand, was a line of carriages twenty deep, and each side of the course, from its western extremity all round to, and beyond Tattenham-corner, and nearly up to the betting ring, was densely lined with all sorts of vehicles and every grade of spectator. We did not observe in any quarter symptoms of dread of dyspepsia. The Grand Stand was well filled with the rougher sex, but exhibited a la mentable minority of the fairer members of creation. No doubt the fatigues of the Drawing-room kept them away, and we hope to see them in health, beauty, and large numbers on Friday next, patronising by their pre sence the female equine contest for the Oaks. Our attention being so fully occupied with the racing occurrences of the day, we were unable to collect any thing like a tithe of the names of the distinguished persons present. A casual survey of the course, how ever, enabled us to select the following :—Duke of Beaufort, Lords Exeter, Normanby, Verulam, Wilton, Stradbroke, March, Chesterfield, Uxbridge, Cantilupe, Edward Russell, Macdonald, Lemon, Alfred Paget, Arthur Lennox, Duncannon, Spencer, G. Bentinck, G. Lennox, W. Powlett, Glasgow, Maidstone, Southamp ton, Miltoun, Glamis, Villiers, Rosalyn, Howth. Honourables, H. Pitt, G. Fitzroy, H. Roux, Col. Anson, H. Forester, Captain Spencer, E. M. Mostyn. Sirs, J. Graham, W. W. Wynne, G. ,Houston, W. M. Stanley, C. Cockerill, W. Codrington, G. Heathcote, M. Farquhar, Baron de Tessier ; General Grosvenor ; Colonel Peel, Colonel Knox ; Messrs. W. N. Johnstone, J. Stanley, S. Stanley, J. Mills, Shelley, Greville, J. Bayley, Bas tard, Jaques, Batson, Payne, Clive, S. Graham. The chief race was fixed for half-past two o'clock, but punctuality in such an event is so difficult that it has never been attained. The difficulty was increased yesterday by the unprecedented number of horses brought to the post, no fewer in fact than 31 I—Besides three false starts, an accident happened to Alarm and his jockey, which de layed the final start at least a quarter of a hour. The Libel reared up, and striking at Alarm, hit Nat upon the wrist; this caused Alarm to plunge, and his rider being dislodged, he ran against the chains, and feil over; but immediately jumping up, he broke away towards Tattenham-corner ; being headed about midway, he made for the road leading into the bottom below the weighing-stand ; and after narrowly escaping another fall, was caught, taken back, and remounted. His leg was cut, and the jockey's arm much bruised, but not to the extent to prevent their taking part in the race. At about half-past three a good start was effected, and in a few brief moments the hopes and fears of the thousands who had breathlessly awaited the commencement or the struggle were set at rest. The " crack" was beaten dis gracefully, and a horse that was not even mentioned in the betting proved to the satisfaction of the unlearned in racing matters that the " knowing ones were done again 1' Admittance, Three Shillings ; Children under Twelve, Half-price Admittance to the Stalactite Caverns, One Shilling extra. A splendid additional entrance in Albany-street. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza.—l was fully prepared to see an outsider, and that one of Forth's lot, bowl all the cracks over easily. I mentioned in my prophecy of Monday last that it wss very likely that an outsider, named but twice in the betting in the early part of the season, and who had lately been in some request at long odds, and which outsider was the Merry Monarch, would do the trick. The favourite, to my astonishment, went very badly; Old England and Pantasa finished in front, and the other fancy nags were tolerably well up. On Friday the Oaks Stakes will bring a pretty field of about seventeen to the post, which will be the following: —Longitude, Miss Elis, Heather Bell, Lady Wildair, Maid of Orleans, Agis, Sir Gilbert, Lancashire Witch, Hope, The Wreck, Glee, Fickle Will, Rose, Lcelia, Event, Stamp, Plaudit, aid Miss Sarah. Rose of Cashmere and Refraction are very doubtful. Of these the Lancashire Witch and Maid of Orleans have been the best performers in public ; the former is a splendid animal, well put together, and in beautiful condition at the present time. The Maid of Orleans likewise is a strong, well-made filly, and will doubtless be one of the first three. The little Lady Wildair, too, will be very near the mark, finishing in the front. Longitude is not to be despised; in my opinion this is the best of Kent's stable, who, by the by, is rather strong this year. To sum up in a few words, I expect to see the Lancashire Witch first, Lady Wildair second, Maid of Orleans or Longitude third. The Members' Plate will have either Seaweed or Bar ricade for winner; Montgomerie and Dalesman close up. The Derby and Oaks Stakes to either the Devil among-the-Tailors or Live-and-let• Live, with Wild Roe close up. I am. Sir, yours, &c., THE TT __E SPIRT Wednesday, Five P.N. OF THE TURF. COURT CIRCULAR. The The Royal dinner party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Buccleuch, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Viscount Templetown, Colonel and Lady Ca therine Vernon Harcourt, Lord and Lady Lyttelton, Hon. Captain Spencer, aid Sir George Cowper. The Lord Chamberlain had the honour of entertaining at dinner on Tuesday the following distinguished guests in cele bration of her Majesty's birth-day. The Marquis of Ormonde, the Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Morton, the Earl of Hard wicke, Viscount Sydney, Viscount Camlilupe, Lord Ernest Bruce, Lord Forester, Hon. and Rev. C. L.

The banquet was given at his Lordship's mansion in Upper Grosvenor-street, the exterior of which was brilliantly illuminated with the royal cypher, sur mounted by the imperial crown between two stars of the Order of the Garter. Yesterday her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited he Queen. Her Majesty bad a dinner party ye s t er day at Bu c ki ng h am Palace. The company included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glou cester, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, his Royal Highness Prince George, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duchess of Buecleuch, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, the Countess of Westmoreland, the Earl of Cawdor, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Lady Caro line Murray, Lady Augusta Cadogan, the Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay, Sir George Couper, Captain Francis Sey mour, and Mr. Edmond Mildway. The band of the First Regiment of Life Guards was in at tendanoo at the Palace during dinner, and performed the fol lowing pieces : Overture, " Oberon"—Weber. Walzer, " Bedford"—Labitzky. Potpourri, " Don Carlos"—Cesta, Selection from " La fille du Regiment"—Donizetti. Polka, " Pariser"—Strauss. At a quarter-past eight o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert left the Palace, accompanied by the Noble Directors of the Concert of Ancient Music, for the Hanover : square Rooms. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the Earl of Cawdor, were in the same carriage with the Prince. The Marquis of Granby, Colonel Wylde, Captain Francis Seymour, and Mr. E. Mildmay, occupied another carriage. The Queen left Buckingham Palace soon afterwards, for the Hanover-square Rooms, to honour the performance of the Concert of Ancient Music with her presence. The whole of the illustrious company accompanied her Majesty, and left the Palace in the following order:— Huu, they were dona—and the oftener they are done in this way the more they like it—the following details will show : BETTING AT STARTING. 3to 1 agst Idas (taken)-7 to 2 agst Woatherbit-6 to 1 agst The Libel (taken)-10 to 1 agst Alarm -20 to 1 each agst Pam, Doleful, and Fuzbos-22. to 1 agst Pantasu-22 to 1 agst Old England-30 to 1 agst Jinglepet-40 to 1 each agst Mentor and Worthless -50 to 1 each agst Columbus, Laird-o'-Cockpen, Cobweb colt, and Annandale-1000 to 15 each agst Miss Whip colt, and Wood Pigeon-2,000 to 10 agst Clear-the-Way. Just before starting 1,500 to 100 was laid agst Forth's lot : but singly the winner was not mentioned. Mr. Gully declared to win with Old England. While speak ing of the batting, we should mention that, in the course of the morning, the parties referred to on Monday as having laid so heavily against Old England were called upon to stake, and were prepared with securities to the amount of eighteen or twenty thousand pounds. These were objected to, and it was then required that the whole of the money laid on Mr. Gully's account should be hedged at 20 to I—some points above the market price. This was done, and the matter for tho present is at rest ; we hear, however, that it will shortly come be fore the Jockey Club.

" H IS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The cldth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may he marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing ♦ery singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imroye ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste is inevitable."—The Sun, April '3O. " Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat Is to be fonnd. The notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer tainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered Paletot, two guineas. 114, Regent-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is A summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. ' The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglig6 n 1 trop habilli, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderato light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till thomsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardeesus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, Is of some standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street, four doors north of Quadrant.

At five o'clock last evening Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for the city of Westminster, and a jury of thirteen householders of St. George's, Hanover-square, assembled at the Rising Sun, Charles. street, Grosvenor-square, to investigate the circumstances con. nected with the death of the four unfortunate persons whose bodies have been discovered, and who lost their lives at the dreadful fire at Raggett's Hotel, Dover-street, Piccadilly, on the night of Mon day last. The jury were impannelled on the bodies of Mr. William Raggett, aged d 2, Miss Anne Raggett, aged 37, Ann Jones, aged 28, and the body tri a female unknown (supposed to bethat of Mrs. Round). Lord Huntingdon and several other members of the aristocracy* were present during the proceedings, which excited an intense and painful degree of interest. The bodies lay in shells in the dead. house in the rear of St. George's Workhouse, Mount-street, and on being viewed by the jury presented a shocking spectacle. That of Mr. Raggett, sen., and the body supposed to be that of Mrs. Round, were literally burnt to cinders, whilst that of Lord Hunt. ingsion's nurse, Mrs. Jones, and Miss Raggett, were very much mutilated. Miss Elizabeth King was the first witness called, and appeared much affected whilst giving her evidence. Her left hand was bound up in silk, and she had evidently been greatly burned about the face. She said I reside at No. 2, Rateliffe-parade, Bristol. Shortly after twelve o'clock on Monday evening last I was staying at Raggett's Hotel, with my brother and sister-in-law. We had a drawing-room and two bed-rooms. My sister had just left me to retire for the night, and I went to my bed-room to obtain a little water to make some liquorice tea. I procured the water, and re turned to the drawing-room, where I placed the water on the fire. In about two or three minutes I heard a cracking noise, and I went to the drawinwroom door to see what it was, and I then saw the flames issuing from my bed-room door and over the door. I called " Fire, fire I" as loud as 1 was able, and one of the waiters, a man, came up the stairs and shouted fire also. My brother and sister then came up to the room. I ran into the bed-room to get a Wars. ket to throw on the fire. I found I could not, and I got mach burned. I ran back to the drawing-room, and ray brother and sister broke the window, and called out " flare," and " police." I persuaded them to come down the staircase, which the tire had not then reached. They had only their night clothes on, and were afraid to ge, but I ran to the staircase to show them it was safe. I thought there was plenty of time to get down the staircase, but when I descended a step or two, the flames caught me and burnt me in several places. Two men; I believe, rushed unstairs past me at that time. When I got down I begged the people to bring ladders to save my brother and sister, who were at the window. By the Conowzn—There was no fire In the bed-room. I took a candle with me sheen I went in there, and brought it back again. I was caught hold of by two er three men, and carried down stairs. I cannot exactly say the cause of the fire, but having been in the room so recently, and knowing there was no fire or candle there, I feared that it had been caused by my candle. My candle had no guard before it. To reach my bed-room I bad to pass through a narrow passage, and the bed-room was very small. I had no reason for believing that any one had entered my bed-room. There were some lucifer matches In the drawer of the washing stand. I had not used any of them at that time. The bed curtains were of dimity, and a spark from the candle might have ignited them, but I cannot say it did se. I cannot say in what part of the room the flames commenced. They must have burst through the door, or the door was open when I heard the cracking noise. By the jury —There is no circumstance which loads me to barns that a spark from my candle ignited the bed curtains. Frances Henry Earl of Huntingdon examined--I am residing at prettiest at No. IS, Hill.street. On Monday night last I and my family were staying at liaapett's Hotel. I had been on Motu day night to the French plays, and returned to the hotel, I think, about halLpast twelve o'clock. I went to the drawing-reom, and just put my hat on the table, and was taking a chamber light to go into my bed-room, when I heard cries of fire. Lady Hunt ingdon and her mother, Mrs. Power, had just preceded me, and was wishing Mrs. Power good night at the time. I think I can swear it was young Mr. Itaggett's voice I heard cry "fire," and " oh, my mother I" I then ran first up stairs to my child's room, and shook Mrs. Jones, the nurse, who was asleep, saying, " Jones, Jones, the house is on firel give me the child." She said, " Wait. my Lord, till I dress him ; the cold will be the death of him." 1 snatched the child from her and shook her again by the shoulder, exclaiming " Good God I woman, the house is in dames. Follow me." I then rushed with him down stairs, the whole of which were on fire. Sly eye-brows and the child's hair were singed off. I rushed into the street, and into Batt's Hotel, who kindly threw their doors open to every one. I then found Lady Huntingdon and her mother in the street. My apartments were the opposite drawing.rooms to Mr. and Mrs. King's. After my wife was in safety, I went back to see for Jones, and then saw the fire escape being put up, but it was being done in a very bungling manner. The room where my sen and Jones were was exactly over Mini King's bed-room, and when I tried to ems out with my son the flames had attached its dept, By the Foremaa-.4 will not undertake to RIF there was neglect on the part of those who bad charge of the fire-escape, but there appeared to be some difficulty in their getting it close enough to the house. The men appeared to be sober who had charge of the escape. Evidence resumed—About three o'clock a pollesraan informed ale that a body of a female had been found in the rear of the hotel, and I went to see it. I have seen the same body at the workhouse, and I believe it to be that of Ann Jones, from her having red hair, and being a married woman, and having a ring ea her finger. By the jury—l never saw a body of firemen and police do their duty on any occasion so effectively in any country in the world. Everything was don• to save life and property. I have no idea from what part the tames first came. Where Ann Jones's body was found was immediately under the window of the room in which I had let her on the second floor. It is my opinion she threw herself from the window, and was crushed by the fall rather than killed by the fire. Mr. Frederick William Raggett examined—l am the son of the deceased Mr. William Raggett, late proprietor of Riggett's Hotel, in Dover-street. I acted as head-waiter and manager of the hotel for nay father. I was at home when the fire broke out. My father and sister retired to rest at eleven o'clock, and I was sitting up with the head waiter and cook for the Earl of Hunting don and Mrs. Round, who had gone to the French plays ; the latter lady having ordered a roast fowl for supper at half-pkt twelve o'clerk. Mrs. Round occupied a sitting-room and two Wd-recnne on •e second floor, which are all connected with one another by doors. Mrs. Round and her daughter arrived borne at twelve o'clock, and I took up the urn for making tea, and the fowl. She then ordered some dry toast, and asked to have the things left up there to save us trouble, On my return down stairs I saw flames rushing out of Miss Ring's bed-room, on the drawing-room floor, and heard the cry of " Fire." I instantly rushed to my mother's bed room, she having been bed-ridden through a broken leg for three weeks. My mother slept on the second floor, and my brother fol.. lowed me and assisted her down the stairs, bat the flames were so overpowering that we both fell with her. I was assisted then by some men, and we carried my mother to Batt's Hotel. I then re. turned to see after the safety of my brother. I must here remark that when I saw the flames I called out " Fire, fire," loud enough to disturb every one in the house. On my going back to look for my brother, I found him on the ladder, bringing Miss Round down the escape. He went up again and brought down Miss Round's servant. My brother appeared mad, as he said he could Ind neither his father nor his sister. Had the fire.escape been there in proper time, and the conductor not been drunk, it would hare been properly placed, and I believe every soul might have been saved. Mr. Raggett here said, that although the house was insured en 2,0001., every vestige of property belonging to his father was de stroyed. The candles used were all patent candles, and a spark falling from them would not have ignited. Miss King's bed cur tains were of quilted dimity. He was of opinion, therefore, that the candle must, whilst Miss King was passing the bed, have come in contact with the curtains unknown to her. By the jury —It is my firm belief that the two bodies so much burned are those of my father and Mrs. Round, as they were seen together by Miss King, my father endeavouring to save her, on the staircase. There was a trap.door by which persons souk' escape to the roof. The housemaid, Mrs. Barnes, slept in a front room on the second floor, and, as I understand, these bodies were found in the back part of the premises, I should say that the female body is that of Mrs. Round. The CORONER, at this stage of the proceedings, remarked, that as there appeared to be considerable doubt as to the identity of the fourth body, whether it was that of the unfortunate lady, Mrs. Round, or Mrs. Barnes, the housemaid, perhaps it would be proper to adjourn the inquiry in order to set that matter at rest. Several persons who appeared to be interested in the Fire Escape Society here wished to tender evidence as to their effi ciency on the occasion, but the Coroner said it was irrelevant to the inquiry. A discussion then ensued amongst the jury as to taking further evidence. when, in answer to the Coroner, Mr. Inspector Agga stated that the hotel was being now shored up, and there was every probability of the other bodies beingidia. covered, if they were in the ruins, in the olurse of to-morrow (this day). The inquiry was then adjourned till Friday next. COAL ALEURIEET.

These, with its salutary and inconceivably re freshing effects on a shin rough, dry, and heated by travellin g , or otherwise, have obtained its selection by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, together with the whole " elite" of the aristocracy and haut ton."
