To the other disappointments and abandonments of the session is to be added the following strange report from the Game-law Committee :--''The Select Corn mittie appointed to inquire into the operation of th.- game-laws, and to report their observations and opinit,o thert upon to the llout.e, have made certain progress in the matter to them referred, but, owing to the advanced period of the session, have not been able to bring the inquiry entrusted to them to a close, but recommend the re-appointment of the Committee next session." This Committee has sat from nearly the beginning of the ses sion—and the question is not so large but that, with the will to do so, the inquiry might have been brought to a close. The question, moreover, is divisible into portions ; there is the distinct head of injury to tenants' crops. another distinct head of injury as to the morals of the poor, and a third distinct head of the administration of game-laws by game-lo r d s . One, at least, of th ese dis tinct portions of the inquiry might have been completed, if there had been a will; or the Committee might have printed the evidence already taken, which would have been the m eans o f diffusing much information, and of setting . people a • t hi nking during the vacation. The minutes of the proceedings of the Committee, printed with the report, tell us that Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS moved the printing of the evidence, and that his motion was rejected by five to three. The names of the ma jority and the minority will satisfy the public that there were good public reasons for printing the evidence, and that class interests were concerned in withholdin g it. Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS was supported by Mr. BOUVERIE and Mr. ETWALL ; while the five who opposed him were Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, Lord G. BENTINCH, Mr. F. MACKENZIE, Mr. CRIPPS, and Lord CLkvz. On the first three of these five names we need offer no remark. Mr. CRIPPS and Lord CLIVE, of course, voted with their party. Mr. BRIGHT was in the chair. But we cannot help regretting thit more of the Liberal Members of the Committee should not have attended on this occasion. Where were Mr. MILNER Gissorr, Mr. CAVEIVDISH, and Mr. TEELAWNEY ? Somehow or other, the enemies of the public are never caught napping. It has been a general subject of conversation, during the sitting of this Committee, that some of the Tory Members of it, especially Lord G. BENTINCK and Mr. G. BERKELEY have pursued a course of systematic insult to the witnesses against the game-laws; and this being so, it is not difficult to conceive why these gen tlemen should have been anxious to keep back the evidence. No sooner did Mr. BRIGHT announce his intention of calling a witness, than inquiries were sent to his locality, with a view to find out everything which by any possibility could be made a means of annoyance to him, and he was subjected to a cross-examination by Lord G. BENTINCK with which no Old Bailey practice would compete. A respectable solicitor, who furnished the Committee with his experience of game•law con victions, was harassed with innumerable irrelevant questions about his professional practice, and then taunted with being a gaol-bird. Another witness was in plain terms told by Lord G. BENTINCK that his morality was very lax, because he could not view poaching with the full degree of horror which it kindles in Lord GEORGE'S most innocent mind. tenant of Lord FORESTER'S was subjected to a rigorous cross•examination under the eye and with the constant promptings of Lord FORESTER'S brother. Such pro ceedings as these are surely never contemplated in Committees of the House of Commons. If information is to be elicited by Committees, witnesses must be pro tected trom insult. No Iran can have read the statement which was made a f l aw nights ago, by Lord PALMERSTON, on the state of the capacity for defence of this country, in the event of ally hostile descent upon any part of its coasts, with out acknowledging that the Noble Viscount made out an undeniable case fer the adoption of some precautionary arrangements and preparations—by no means incompa tible with the maintenance of our amicable relations with all the Powers of Europe—but not to be longer delayed, in the face of certain aspects presented by the attitude of a neighbouring State. When Sir, ROBERT PEEL ventured to read the Noble Lord a lectare on the ill-considered timing of this speech, and put on one of the long faces of his official prudery, in order to rebuke his Lordship's imprudence at mooting a matter which might be deemed so disagreeable in the French Cabinet, the Right Hon. Baronet must have forgotten that it had been already much insisted upon at the close of last session, and recurred to at the commencement of the present one, by his own leader—the Noble and Gallant Duke, the Commander-in-Chief. It was quite consistent with the usual Parliamentary tactics of the Premier, to endeavour to turn off the attack on the policy of his Government, implied by the animadversions of Lord PALMERSTON on the neglect of such precautiOnary pro- visions as he directed the Right Hon. Baronet's atten tion to, by declaiming on the constitutional aversion of the eeople of England for a large standing army. But Lord PALMERSTON did not ask for its increase. It was all in the way of the Premier's manner, to call off the louse's attention from that which it should be directed to, by taking credit for the fact, that at no time had our navy been in a more efficient condition than it was at present. It formed no part of Lord PALMERSTON'S statement to declare that it had been. But Sir ROBERT PEEL gave no tangible assurances-- advanced no counter statements, either to meet the sug gestions or to disprove the averments of Lord PALMER STON. What was the nature of these averments ? That France now maintained a standing army of 340,000 men, fully equipped, with a large cavalry and artillery ; that in addition to these she had, in Paris, " nearly 1,000,000 of National Guards trained, disciplined, reviewed, equipped, clothed, and accustomed to all the fatigues and duties attendant upon a time of war." He reminded the House that the English Channel could now be crossed in a few hours, and that the navy of France was, (in the Noble Lord's opinion —we trust and believe an erroneous oae,) "in every respect superior to ours ; that she had a steam navy capable of transporting 290,000 men ; harbours inaccessible to any foreign powers for the safeguard and refuge of this fleet ;" and " immense bodies of disciplined men around these har bours regularly and always stationed." These are very grave facts undoubtedly ; facts to excite the most serious reflection. But we do not see that because they are such, therefore, the Noble Lord is justly amenable to the cen sure of Sir ROBERT PEEL, or the silly sarcasms of cer tain French journals, for alluding to them. It is one thing to create a danger, it is another boldly to look it in the face when created. Lord PALMERSTON can no more be justly taxed with a desire to excite, or keep up, feelings of hostility between this country and France, by reason of merely touching on these notorious statistics of foreign forces, than with being the father of the childish' boast in the journals in question, that a French com mander would not require more than 40,000 men, after making a successful descent, to move with upon London itself. The facts and the foolery.are equally beyond his control. Now, what were the suggestions that followed upon the statements of the Noble Lord ? Ile assumed that, notwithstanding the present amicable condition of our relations with France, questions of extreme delicacy and difficulty might, at any time, arise, in reference to which it was highly expedient that we should not be wholly unprepared for whatever emergency might arise. On the contrary, for the 'more unembarrassed discussion of these questions we ought to be in a state of efficient pre paration. We ought to have harbours of refuge ; we ought to have our naval arsenals put in the best condi tion of defen ce . I t was sa id those sereral works are in progress. If it was so, it was matter of just congratula tion ; and it was to be hoped that those preparations would be vigorously carried out to their full and efficient completion. But here were the discouraging truths to be most seriously taken to heart by our GoNiernment, and to be dealt with as they required to be :—First, That our own steam navy was still in a ♦ery deficient state ; we had no disciplined bodies of men, stationed near to the coast, as in France ; and, in case of an invasion being attempted, it would take at least three months to getour steam tieetintosuch a condition as to be available torepel the enemy. Secondly, That we had no disposable military force at hand, independent of that portion of our limited standing army which was at home, to cope with any military force that any enemy might once succeed in landing on our shore. Now, to remedy this deficiency, the Noble Lord proposed that we should have recourxe to the most constitutional of all the means of military armament in this country at all times —namely, the re embodiment of our militia. What adequate objection there can exist to this course we cannot imagine ? The expense of embodying one-half of that force, and of giving them the necessary training and equipment, would apply only to the soldiers and non-commissioned officers. There would be no lack of volunteers among the officers, and officers commanding, to provide their own equipments, if due encouragement were extended by the Government to gratuitous offers of that kind. The country we are sa tisfied would, on the one hand, be well content to bear the necessary charge of such a proceeding ; and on the other, be fully prepared to require that all existing branches of the public expenditure not indispensable to its service, should be required to contribute to defray the charge of this, which undoubtedly is of that nature. As for Sir Robert PEEL'S 50,000 able-bodied pensioners, so many of them as could be really asst mbled and orga. nized for such a purpose would form the best possible nucleus for a militia force, which they would so essen tially assist in bringing rapidly into good discipline and efficiency. Without some such a militia force—without some better guarantee for the immediate' construction of harbors of refuge, and the renovation of our batteries, arsen lis , &c., that we can accept Sir R ..OBERT'S vague pro mises for, we shall still conclude with . Lord PALMER sToN that we are utterly short of that condition of prepara tion and defence which the extraordinary attitude both of:military and naval organization that is now assumed by France at once justifies us in adopting, and most as-% suredly precludes her from complaining of. To the long catalogue of terrible catastrophes which from time to timedesolate our coal districts, and sweep off human victims by whol e h ecatombs, but under cir cumstances of aggravated horror unknown to the won ship even of the ancient Moloch himself—a new calamity has just been added. It occurred on the morn ing of Saturday last at a colliery situate in Crombacb, between Aberdare and Merthyr Tydvil. We have to direct attention to it, not, alas ! as some rare phe nomenon the impression of whose very terrors is alniost effaced by the absorbing astonishment and wonder with which we contemplate the novelty of their aspect s . These explosions of fire-damp have become, unhappily, rather the anticipated per-centage casualties, to be allowed for on the aggregate "lives" of a given district. They have assumed their regular place and number among the long array of columns and divisions and tables that are marshalled forth in the economic "returns" and " reports" annually printed by order of Parliament. They are a branch of the statistics of "premature mor tality," all the elements of which are calculatei with de liberation and certainty —save one : the specific periods of their recurrence. Were the fact, otherwise, were these appalling visitations so " few and far between" that they could be properly regarded only as violent and convulsive throes of nature, like devastating earthquakes, or inundations, we should not marvel that the last event of the kind had been no better prepared for by such means as human sagacity and prudence could devise, than its predecessor. Where the subterranean opera tions of nature that are to be most dreaded from their destructive influence on human life are elaborated on the vast scale of volcanic eruptions or widely-spread ing earthquakes, they cannot be , guarded against. For example—all that was known of the symp toms which preceded the destruction of Quito, in 1755, could not have enabled the inhabitants of the once devoted city to escape from the second and more terrible destruction of 1797, nor bad the fierce eruption of Etna, in 1830, enabled the inhabitants of its most peopled region to guard against the hideous combustion that rolled its lava flood over Bronte in 1832. But it is certain that the inflammation of that noxious gas which is so largely generated in coal mines, although the gas itself be in a process of perpetual elaboration. may be to a'very great extent prevented by precautionary means which prat_ tical science has long since applied to that salutary pur pose. The same labours which explore these mines extract their mineral fuel, construct the galleries, and maintain the shafts, edits, and drains necessary for thsir profitable working, have necessarily given to those en gaged in such occupations that which no man will ever be permitted to acquire with respect to earthquakes or volcanoes—that is to say, no incl'insiderable insight into the manner in which the gas is developed, and the indica tions by which the fact of its development is to be ascer tained. The " Davy" lamp (which never seems to have had a perfectly fair trial, owing in part to the avarice of mine owners and the carelessness of managers, and in part to the reckless apathy and obstinacy of the working miners), is one of these means, and a most salutary and remarkable one. But that system of ventilation—of clearing away rubbish and slate—of drainage, on a larger, more simplified, and economical scale than has hitherto been in practice—of bricking up the tireel aper tures that have been left marking the site of exhausted works and demolished passages—yvith the several other plans adapted to the attainment of similar objects that were submitted to, and favourably reported on, by the Select. Committee on " Accidents in Mines," which sate some two or three sessions ago ; that system and those plans, honestly and vigorously carried out into prac tical adoption, would reduce the number of these fearful disasters in the proportion of at least three-fourths of their present. amount. It is very certain that that dismal fate which, is a moment, entombed alive or blasted te death upwards of one hundred of our fellow-creatures, in the pits of the Haewell Colliery, little more (if we remember rightly) than twelve months ago, might have been averted, had the • parties charged with inspecting the condition Of the works at stated intervals, previously to setting on the men, properly discharged that duty. There can be no reasonable doubt that if the recommen dations of the Committee we have just ulluded to had been previously enforced by Government, this last coal mine explosion at Crombach, that has hurried nine-and twenty pour labourers in that colliery into eternity, might have been avoided, that the desolation which has overtaken the widows and the orphans, and the childless ones who are at this moment vainly wailing over their awful bereavements, might have been escaped. By an account we else where publish, it appears " that this pit has always been in bad repute on account of its deficient. ventilation." It really seems to us that a very onerous responsibility attaches to her MAJESTY'S Government— to that part of the Executive especially which is more immediately connected with the Home Department— for these arid similar disasters. It seems to be the re proach of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government to grant " commissions" and to slumber over their'reports. Thus a commission has pointedly reported on the expediency of surrounding all machinery in the interior of factories and mills in such a manner as to secure those who must pass by it while in action from being caught up and entangled iu its evolutions. Penalties, we believe, are attached to the neglect of these pre cautions. With so much laxity, however, are they enforced, that the provincial newspapers teem with narratives of the most hideous accidents resulting from unprotected shaft-wheels, &c. In like manner, the report on coal-mine accidents seems to have become utterly a dead letter. We doubt whether the casualties have not become m , re frequent since that report was made than they were previously ; and, in nine cases out of ten, they are palpably the result of the neglect of such precautionary measures as were recommended by the report in question. We have ourselv s a strong impression that the Government has done no more to carry out those recommendations than it has done, in fact, notwithstrnding the vague and slippery assurances of Sir ROBERT PEEL the other night to the contrary, in answer to Lord PALMERSTON, in giving effect to the earnest recommendations of the Com mittee on Harbours of Refuge, and the declared opinion - of - Parliameet in fairmir of them. The fact seems to be, that for the protection of property, of vested rights, as they are called, of monopolies, eren of game, the pre sent Government is all vigilant and all powerful. Hu man life, as such, seems to enjoy but secondary claims on its solicitude. Penal statutes for the punishment of debt and the multiplication of the wretched inmates of prisons are being re-enacted, after a short but hollow truce of two or three years with indignant humanity and outraged public opinion. Brave sailors continue to be cast away upon the coasts of their native land for want of har bours of refuge to run to in the extremity of their peril Able seamen are still compelled to quit the ungrateful service of their country, which turns them off at a mo ment's notice, without a home or a maintenance of any kind for their old age and its infirmities, and betake themselves to a foreign service, which they exalt and consolidate at the expense of our own. Children and women wear out a benighted and dreary existence near the surface of mines, where they perish by slow degrees by damp, paralysis, and disease. Men in the deepest recesses of those mines, where they toil from mouth's end to month's end for scanty wages with unwearied indastry, perish by the fatal fire damp in unknown numbers through catastrophes of dread ful frequency. But in all these cases the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Secretary for the Home Department look on apparently unmoved, so long as the effect of these accidents ope rates only on human life, not on property. They may decimate a coal district, provided they do not interfere with Sir ROBERT'S factitious surplus, or Mr. GouL BURN'S Ways and Means ; with the Premier's pa tronage, or Sir J. GRAHAM'S centralisation of official power. Parliament must instantly discharge those duties to humanity which the Government persist in neglecting. • --..--- A letter from Tripoli, 11(h July, says:— " A caravan, which . left this place for Gadaines, was at tacked and rubbed a few days after its departure, when crossing the mountain of Gebel, where fresh disturbances have broken out. There is a talk of an expedition to be fitted out against that part. The quantity of grain in the country has given a degree of activity to the corn trade ; but the only one who be nefits by it is his Excellency Mehemet Pacha, who has already received several cargoes from the Levant. There is a report that Mehemet Pacha is to be recalled, and it is a change which would be generally approved of, and particularly by European merchant." News has been received from. Tunis to the 18th July. The Tunisians feel no alarm from the presence of the Turkish troops in Tripoli. No attack is meditated either in Tunis or Gerlic. The landing of the Alba nians has been occasioned by changes in the garrison, for the purpose of making Tripoli more secure from the attacks of the mountaineers of Gebal. Swiss papers of the 30th ult. have been rec,ived. The Diet was sitting, but its •proCeedings related solely to matters of mere local interest. It was expected that a revolution, similar to the one which was so successful at Lausanne, six months ago, would tike place at Berne, and with similar success. A letter from Geneva, 30th ult., says:— " Our Council of State, anticipating that the Jesuits, when expelled from France, might be tempted to come and form establishments on our territory, has just reminded the public of an ordonnance which forbids any foreigner to undertake the duty of instruction in the Canton of Geneva without a special authorisation. It is still, however, feared that they may form an establishment in some Sardinian commune on our borders, which would for us be attended with the same dangers as if a college of Jesuits were established within our canton." Madrid journals of the 29th and 30th ult. have been L received. The application on the part of the inhabitants of Malaga for a suspension of the sentence on those found guilty ,of having taken part in the late plot has been refused by General SANZ, who says his orders are positive. lie'probably has the 'five of General OaIBE before his eyes, who was dismissed, for waiting for in structions before shooting the son of ZURBANO. The Tiempo states, that at one of the Cabinet Coun cils held at Saragossa, it had been decided that M. CAS- Tru.o Y AYENSA should quit Rowe immediately. The Ministers were expected at Madrid on the evening of the 29th. Letters from Saragossa mention that the QUEEN would take nine mineral baths at Santa Aguada, and as many sea baths. vier Majesty will repair thence to Bilboa, and, after sojourning three or four days in that city, she is to return to San Sebastian, to receive the Duke and . Duchess of NEDIoURS, who are to arrive 'there 'towards the end of August. It was not known how long the Princes of the Royal Family of France would remain at San Sebastian, but it was believed that their stay would not exceed two or three days. The QUEEN will afterwards visit Vit toria, Burgos, and Valladolid, and return to Madrid by La Granja, towards the middle of September The QUEEN'S departure from Saragossa has been de layed a day by the illmss of the Infanta Dona LUISA. Ministers have taken due precautions against the conse quences of the journey they so dread; for, besides the " The St. retersburgh Journal of the 22d July publishes a second bulletin from General Woronzoff, detailing his further operations in the Caucasus. From it we find that the Russian (;eneral, assuming as the basis of his operations the line of the Terek and the torn of Kisliar, has penetrated, by the north of the Daghesta n, _ . _ into the mountain s w hi c h b oun d t h at • country to the west. His object is to secure the communications between the capital Derbent and the line of the Terek by penetrating to the Mussulman mountaineers, commanded by the Emir Chamil, who lately invaded all the country below, and blockaded the town of Derbent. The general has not yet pushed his opera tions further than towards the sources of the Soulak, a river which falls into the Caspian Sea, at a short distance from the mouths of the Terek. Success appears to have hitherto crowned the Russian forces ; and Chamil appears to have adopted the tactics of avoiding coming to a regular engagement. The Russian general has disposed his army into two detachments, one at Kisliar and the other at Derbent, the combined move ments of which have compelled the enemy to evacuate his posi tions." Public Securities improved consiletably in the Paris Money Market on Monday, owing to the fact that the house of RoniscuiLD Brothers had placed itself at the head of the principal parties uho have announced their intention to bid for the northern line of railroad.

The Queen and her illustriou s consort are expected in town in the afternoon of Thursday next. Orders have been given for making the necessary preparations for her Majesty's pro roguing Parliament in person. A Cabinet Council will. be held at the Foreign -office to-morrow, when the royal speech on proroguing Parliament will be considered and arranged. PRICE or GOLD —The premium or. old at Paris is 10i per milk, which, at the English Mint Price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 23 41; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.55 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices front Hamburgh, the price of Strt,id is 436 p er mar k , which, at the English Mint price of i. 178.'100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13'10i ; and the, exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11i, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The will of Mr. Edward Coode, of St. Austell, Cornwall, was proved on the 4th instant by Edward Coode, the son and sole executor. The personal estate sworn under 12.3,0001.

Be queaths to his son Thomas his share in the East Cornwall Bank ; leaves annuities and legacies to his daughters and grandchildren; and the residue of his personal estate he be queaths to his son Edward. It was the deceased's wish to be buried privately and early in the morning. THE S UN, LON DON, THURSDAY MORN ING. AUG UST 7 I-45 additional garrisons established at all points, an expe ditionary division of 12,000 men has been organised at Vittoria. A complete revision of the officers of the army is spoken of. The principal proprietors of At ragon have petitioned against M. Mores new system of taxation. The Minister replied that he would not draw back, as he was fully determined to establish his new system of taxation. The correspondence between Lord 'ABERDEEN and the Duke of SOTOMAYOR is commented on in these papers. El Espanol,' however, says, that the Protec torate of France, weak and irresolute as she is, can never compensate Spain for any estrangement on the part of England towards the Spanish people. According to the Hera/do Ministers had decided on the dissolution of the Senate, and the nomination of certain senators. The meeting of the Cortes will take place on the 10th of October, the day her MAJESTY Will have attained her 15th year. Malaga had been declared under martial law. Generals SORIA and Fr cuErtas wrre to be named members of the Royal Council ; and Generals CONCHA, the Duke of Any- NADA. RONCALI, and CORD ,VA, were spoken of as candidates for the offices of Inspectors-General of Militia and Infantry: The expeditionary brigade was to re turn from Cuenca to Madrid, no further fears being en tertained of Valencia or Catatonia. The Three per Cents. rose on the 30th ult. more than half per cent. They were quoted at . 29% cash, and 30 1 / 4 at 60 days ; 32,800,000 done. Five s 21% at 60 da y s ; amount, 1,000.000. Passives, 7 7-16 fir the 19th of August; amount, 2,000,000. • We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They all contain remarks on the debates in the English Par liament on the affairs of Greece. The Commerce desig • Dates Lord ABERDEEN'S language as most insolent to• France, and the Debate complains that the British re presentative at Athens, instead of uniting with M. PISCATORY against Russia, sides with Russia against France. The Opposition papers again allude to Lord PALMER STON'S speech-on the national defences., and the National and &irk seem delighted with the idea that it may be possible for *eFrance to grapple with hcr ancient rival on her own soil." The Debuts has the following observations on the late Customs returns published in the Monileur : " The Board of Customs has just published an account of the imports for the first six months of the present year, which shows the following variations, viz., a considerable increase in sugars, coffees, wools, cottons, coal, and oleaginous seeds, an d an increase also, but not s o great , in copper, tallow, oils, and dye ing materials. These results are accounted for by the general increase in consumption, and by the activity of our several manufactories. The introduction of cottons deserves particu lar nitice, as they amount to 35,000,000 kilos., while the amount brought in during the same period of 1844 was no greater than 27,000,000 kilos. It will be oll , erved also that coals have reached 967,000 tons ' notwithstandin g th e cont i nual increase in the quantities raised from our own mines, which now amount to nearly 4,000,000 tons, an augmentation of cent. per cent. in ten years. As to the oleaginous seeds and sesame, the great object of recent Parliamentary contestation, it may well be conceived that the expecta , ion of an increased duty caused a forced provision to be made during the first months of the year; this increase must necessarily find its limit. On the other hand, silks and linens have remained stationary, and threads, cast iron, zinc, lead, and corn, have fallen off. With regard to silk, we may remark that oar native produce of this article naturally tends to limit the import of foreign silks. The diminution in the import of threads, and the stationary amount of the introduction of linen cloths, are the results of the increased duties imposed, which diminish those from Belgium and England. The metals brought in last year exceeded the demand for consumption. With regard to coin, the arrivals of which have been only 20,000,000 kilogrammes, instead of 102,000,000 kilogrammes, there is no other article in which the fluctuations arc so great; not that our consumption has any very great effect on the annual de. mand, for we purchase scarcely any for ourselves fro:n abroad, and the quantities imported are almost exclusively destined for re-exportation, after being ground, to supply the great dealings in flour from Marseilles. On the aggregate, there has been an improvement in nearly all the branches of merchandise; and the Customs' receipts, which during the first six months of 1844 amounted to a little more than 71,000,000 f., has in the same period of the present -year Parisvery for r ar th ly e reached hateau 76,000,000 f." The KING and Royal Family left d'Eu, on Monday. We should not he surprised to hear of the rs,cal of Marshal BUGEAUD from Algiers. The National says : " Marshal Bugeaud has taken such a tone in his corre spondence with Marshal Soult, and qualified in such harsh terms the decisions of the Cabinet relative to Algeria—he has manifested so firm a determination not to obey those decisions, that the Cabinet was obliged, at one of its last meetings, to examine the affair. It was on the eve of Marshal Soult's departure for his estate of St. Arnaud. The Mi nester of War placed before his colleagues several letters which he had received from M. Bugeaud, and written in so in sulting a style, that he deemed it. expedient to communicate them to the officers of the War Department. After read ing those letters, which showed that M. Bugeaud consi dered himself more competent to decide on the affairs of Algeria than all the romancers and talkers of Paris, and that he appeared :o have completely forgotten the principles of military discipline and of administrative hierarchy, the Council resolved that Marshal Soult should write to him in their name. The letter, which was drawn up at the same sitting, by one of the Alioisters present, gave M. Bugeaud to understand that the Government of the King compelled nobody to serve it, but that it required from those who ac cepted office, from the highest to the lowest functionary, that they should submit to the same rules of subordination towards the central Government. That letter was forwarded to ill. Bugeaud by one of the last packets for Algeria. We have not heard what effect that letter produced on the irascible Marshal, who fancies more the rigours of dictatorship than the prescrip tions of the Constitutional Government, which be reluctantly abeys." The Pr esse has an admirable article, denouncing, in energetic terms, the horrible cruelty of the system which Marshal BIIGEAUD i$ pursuing in Algeria. General PRIM, Count of Reuss, arrived on the 30th ult. at Marseilles, where he was to embark in the next packet for Barcelona. The Duke D'AIDIAIrE has left Paris for Bordeaux, where the troops which are to form the camp are already assembling. The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS are still continuing their progress through the south of France, where they are received with every distinction. The King of WIATEMBERG left Stutgard on the 30th ult. for the Tyrol. The QUEEN and Royal Family left the same day for Weisbaden, and will probably meet the Queen of ENGLAND on the Rhine. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. LATEST PARTICULARS. . It appears that on Monday last the express, or morning mail train, left the terminus of the juncti on s t a ti on at Shore ditch, at half-past eleven o'clock, the usual hour, for Nor wich. It was composed of two second-class and three first class carriages, between which and the tender and engine were the luggage van and a horse-box,, containing two horses, and at the rear of the train was a truck, together with another horse- box. The train proCeeded at its usual rate, averaging about 30 miles an hour, making two stoppages, as far as Wendon, in Essex, a distance of 43 miles from town. It was then about five minutes to one o'clock, and the hinder truck and horse-box having been detached, the regu lar signals were given, and the train renewed its course. The line between this station and the next, Chesterford, is slightly on the incline, we are informed 1 foot in 150, and, according to all accounts, the speed here maintained was greater than during the preceding part of the journey, so much so as to produce a violent oscillation of the carriages. Suddenly; on the train verging into a kind of cutting, situate near a village called Littleborough, half way between the Wendon and Chesterford stations, the passengers sustained a slight shock, which was immediately succeeded by one of a most violent character, accompanied by an explosion. It was some moments ere the passengers recovered from its effects, and on looking out of the carriages it was impossible for a time to discern what had really happened, on account of a complete torrent of fire, intermingled with dust. and dirt, while at the same time the steam literally enveloped the train, and even when it had subsided, the roaring of the en gine was of so frightful a character as to terrify the unfortu nate passengers. On, however, a few of the passengers, bolder than the remainder, alighting, a most frightful sight pre sented itself. The engine had crossed—after breaking away from the tender—the up-libe rails, and was lying bottom up wards on the side of the cutting, a complete wreck. The tender was some distance-in advance of the train, doubled up, whilst the horse-box and van were on fire. The first object was to extricate the pasSengers from the carriages next to the horse-box which were sadly broken, the bodie s b e i ng ta k en completely off, and flames issuing from the roof of one of them. Many passengers were carried out apparently dead, and others were much bruised. In another part of the 'train the General Post office guard, in charge of the mails, was found lying on his back, having seemingly been thrown from his seat on to the line, and the wheels having passed over him, for one o f hi s legs was found t o be shockingly crushed. The dense body of smoke and steam kept issuing from the disabled engine, and the ground being- strewn with heated coke, the search for a time could not be proceeded with. In the meanwhile the guard of the train very promptly dispatched two or three of the passengers to the neighbouring village of 'Wen don for medical and other assistance, and on the disastrous occurrence being made known hundreds flocked to the spot. It is utterly impossible to give any adequate description of the scene--one almost unparalleled in railway accidents. Both lines, to the extent of near 200 yards, were torn up. The engineer was found alive, very little injured; but his stoker was discovered to be lying under the engine, one of his hands being just visible. Any attempt to extricate him by the means then at hand was a matter of impossibility, and it was evident to all from the weight that rested upon the body, and the violent action of the fire and steam, that the' poor fellow must have been killed instantane- ously on the engine overturning. The fire still raging with considerable vigour, the bystanders having procured various vessels, 'proceeded to throw a quantity of water on the blazing trucks and carriages, and eventually succeeded in subduing the flames, by which time, however, the luggage-van was partially consumed, and much damage done to the passengers' baggage. In an hour or so afterwards a pilot engine from Cambridge reached th e scene, and was immediately set to work in dragging away the wrecks, the line being perfectly impassable both up and down. That having been partially accomplished, men were enabled to get at the engine, and in the course of two or three hours succeeded, by means of jacks, in raising it, when the mutilated remains of the unfortunate stoker; Richard Peake, were dragged forth ; recognition was impossible. The body was burnt and scalded to a frightful ex tent, and being placed on a litter, it was removed to the Falcon Inn, Littleborough, to await the coroner's 'inquiry. The guard, after being attended to by the surgeons who were brought to his aid, was afterwards taken on to the Cambridge Hospital, where he now lies in a most deplorable state of suffering. During these , operations those passengers who were injured were conveyed into the adjacent meadows and laid down until the necessary assistance had arrived to re move them to the neighbouring towns. They received every attention from a large muster of medical gentlemen from Wendon, Saffron Waldon, &c., and late in the day posted to their respective homes. Mr. Farnctiough, the superintendent of the locomotive de partment of the line, was, as we are informed, on the engine at the time of the accident, and providentially escaped injury. He states that he was thrown from the engine, and found himself but a few yards from the ponderous mass. His escape, therefore, may be deemed almost miraculous. The escape, also, of the engineer, was wonderful. He was stand ing between the engine and tender, with his face forward, when the force of the schock drove him violently against the drum of the boiler, and the succeeding shock sent him " flying" over the back of the train on to the side of the cutting. The intelligence of the accident did not reach Shoreditch until late in the evening, when Mr. Hanson, the manager of the traffic department, started off in a special train, to render any assistance that might be required, as also for the pur pose of ascertaining the extent of injury, in order to report the same to Major- General Pasley, which was done yesterday. The extent of mischief done is very great. Besides the destruction of the engine and tender, the luggage-van was destroyed by fire, as well as the horse- box, though the horses were pre.,erved two second-class and a first-class carriage were shattered, besides other damage, to the extent of about 6,000/. The following official statement has been banded to us for publication : An accident occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway, on Monday, to the train leaving town for Norwich, at halt past eleven o'clock, A.M., by which the fireman on the train lost his life and one of theguards wasseriously injured. From some cause which cannot at present be clearly ascertained the engine was thrown off the rails when passing over the embank went near Wendon, about 12 miles below Cambridge. It is thought that one of the wedges having started from its posi tion was the cause of the accident. The engine and tender were thrown over upon the up-line of rails, and the trucks, with the passengers' luggage, and some of the carriages were very much broken. Most providentially none of the passen gers were injured. The fireman was thrown under the engine and killed upon the spot. One of the guards had his leg broken, and the engine-driver, or superintendent of the engine department, was much shaken by the concussion. The officers of the coinpany were sedulously engaged in as certaining the cause of the accident, which at present appears involved in considerable uncertainty.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ABERDARE, NEAR MERTHYR TYDFIL, TUESDAY MORNING. —The Coroner for the upper division of the county of Gla morgan, William Davies, Esq., solicitor, Merthyr Tvdvil, having fixed yesterday for the inquest, very many of the most mipectable inhabitants of the place and its neighbour hood, and also a goad many workmen, met at the Boot Inn, in the village of Aberdare, where the inquest had been ap pointed to take place. The proceedings commenced by empannelling the follow ing perspns, constituting a most respectable jury :—William Thomas, Esq., J.P., foreman; Matthew Wayne, Esq., iron master; Thomas Wayne, Esq.,, ditto; Philip Taylor, Gen tleman; Messrs. Henry Kirkhousa, mineral agent; David Llewelyn, ditto; John Smith, ditto; Rees Hopkin Rhys, ditto ; Juhn Nixon, coal-merchant ; David Davies, ditto; David Williams, ditto; Joseph Priestly Evans, , innkeeper; Thomas Nicholas Jones, victualler; Robert Beadle, shop keeper; William Miles, collier; David Nicholas Jones, ditto; and Thomas Edwards, ditto. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to execute the melancholy task of viewing the bodies, and as the places at which they lived embraced a circuit of some miles the in spection occupied a considerable time Many of the bodies presented a shocking spectacle. Two or three seemed as if they had been literally roasted; whilst others were but slightly scorched, and at the same time the bruises were in considerable. By the time that the inspection was over the intelligence was brought that the whole of the bodies had been recovered from the pit; three or four had . been found in the morning and the rest in the evening. , This, as it must be supposed, gave great satisfaction not only to their relatives but to all other persons, as it was feared at one time that some of them would be irrecoverable for a considerable time. Where these serious colliery accidents have happened here before some of the bodies. have been irrecoverable for a con siderable time, arising from the foulness of the air, or the falls of rubbish, The little village, situated as it is so beautifully, was yes terdaya scene of universal lamentation. At one time six fUnerals were to be seen proceeding towards the church in succession, whilst several others were in the church-yard. The concourse of people was very great; and whilst contem plating the sad scene, the humble church, and church-yard, with its venerable yews, where " the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep," and listening to the impressive burial service, I thought within myself; that never were words more applicable than those of the Psalmist --"Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." The jury having re-assembled in the inquest room, it was deemed advisable, from the lateness of the hour, the number of witnesses to be examined, and in all probability the pro tractea nature of the inquiry, to adjourn the inquest until eleven o'clock to-day. The following are the names and ages of the sufferers : David jenkins, single man, aged 37 ; Richard Morris, ditto, aged 30; Howel William, ditto, aged 28, and Rees Williams, ditto, aged 24, brothers; Joseph Philips, ditto, aged 15; Thomas Evans, married, aged 35 i.
