SUNDERLAND, AUGUST 11.-It is not easy to see where the numbers are to come from which can beat the Liberals litre. The numbers polled at Lord llowick's election, which were the greatest ever known, were 706 for Lard Howick, 462 for his Tcry competitor ; total polled, 1,168, majority fur Lord Howick, 244. An enor mous margin this on which to draw. Besides this, there are now 148 fewer names on the register than then. against which must be set off about half that number of removals, which were prevented from voting at Lord Howick's election by the then state of the law. So that on the whole, 1,100 may be stated as very near the probable number to poll ; and the public voice confirms the expectation. It is not likely twat the citernant should be greater than at Lord Howick's election, or that this should be the occaion on which the numbers polled should be greater than on any of the previous elections which have occurred ; if bettinv,-, men had it in hand, nobody would bet upon it. But the Liberals have promises enough to carry the election, under such circumstances by an overpowering majority ; and Sunderland Liberal promises are not bad, as was proved by Lard Howick baring had more votes than promises. Under these facts, nothing but experiment can prove that the Liberals can fail. Messrs. Cobden and John Bright arrived at four p.m. on Monday.

SUGAR—To-day West India Sugar of every sort was - purchased with eagerness by refiners and grocers, there was a good demand for the outports, and the rates paid • exhibit an advance on those of Friday of fully 6d per cwt ; the supply has become small, and merchants are sanguine in their expectations as to the future position of the market. At public sale 125 hhds 1 tierce of Barbadoes Sugar went briskly at a rise on the rates of the last auction of 6d to ls, good yellow fetched 52s to 535, middling 504 to 51s, and low 49s 6d ; 225 hhds 5 barrels of St Vincent's went at a similar rise, low strong grey fetching 47s to 46s 6d, middling 48s to 495, and good 50s. The total purchases amounted to the large quantity of 1,300 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—Today home trade goods were in excel lent request, and only a small quantity remained unsold, brown Lumps for the scale are selling at 67s to 68s, and standard Lumps 69s per cwt.

It will be seen, from our Parliamentary report, that the Bill to regulate the Scottish and Irish Joint Stock Banks has been withdrawn till next session. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer has, however, given nutic that it will be again introduced early next session, and that all bunks established after this date will be brought under its operation. This fact cannot be too strongly impressed upon the public mind, because it is virtually a prohibition of all new banks. The stock of any bank established after this date cannot be less than 100,0001., nor its shares less than 1001. each. The whole stock must be subscribed fur, the contract of co-partnery signed by all the partners, and the half of the whole stock paid, before the business can be begun. No new bank can therefore hold any reserved stock, and thus no profit can be made by it on its shares- It cannot repay any part of its stock, without the permission of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations—it cannot purchase any of its shares, and it cannot make any advances to a shareholder on the security of his shares. Its assets and liabilities must be published once a month. With these very stringent provisions, the prohibition against issuing- notes, and the aetive and energetic, though withal honourable, competition of existing banks with the right to issue, with what prospects of success can any bank be established hereafter? We do not know what may be the intention of the govern went in tilt it tainperings with the currency of the country. To us they are inexplicable. The po pulation of the empire is daily increasing, its means of subsistence is increasing, the trade and commerce of the empire is increasing—everything is moving onwards with the strides of a giant, yet the currency of the country must stand still, nay, must be diminished. Connected with this subject, there is one point in particular to which we would beg to direct public atten tion. If the Bill we have now been speaking of be really introduced next session of Parliament, can the companies called Exchange Companies, and Investment Companies, be brought under its operation ? The solution of this question will depend upon another—whether these companies are Banking Companies ? The parties im mediately interested should look to this in time, so that they may not be taken by surprise when the Bill is passed into law.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. ACCIDENT TO HER MAJESTY'S CROWN.—On the occasion of the ceremonial proceedings in the House of Lords, to open, prorogue, or dissolve the Parliament, her Majesty wears a tiara of diamonds, and is attended by an officer of state with the crown on a cushion. Every visitor of the jewel house in the Tower is aware of the novel arrangements and beauty of such crown, it having been, to a considerable extent, re-constructed for her Majesty. That crown, on Saturday, was borne on a rich cushion, from the robing-room to the throne in the House of Lords, by the Duke of Argyll. His Grace is an elderly gentleman, and frequently evinced his anxiety re garding his forthcoming duty by perambulating the Royal gal lery slung which her Majesty had to pass to the robing-room ( the Lords' library), whence the Queen proceeded into the House. His Grace duly appeared in the procession. Her Majesty having delivered the prorogation speech, preparations were made for her quitting the House. The Duke of Argyll had to bear the crown from the presence of the Queen, it still re maining on the ca.hion ; but, as the flooring of the throne chair is raised above that of the House, he had to descend two steps. Receding from the Queen's presence without turtling, his Grace appeared to have forgotten that there were two s e e a r n e d w n co r n e s l e l e i, d ue n a ff tl y tn e missing n t a h n e d n fi r n s a t t t e e s, s h e b e s h t i u n n d i b l e h d i m . t fall several diamonus were knocked out. The consternation occasioned among the state officers and others about the thron may be imagined, though not easily described. The Duke'e i m n at ins d el frop T o h s os e uiet Queen s t d n . e o n p o b ere t e v a e s d s t e h v e e r d e s t e e n r r agnhdfe with t b t h y treat readiness and calmness desired that the Duke would not concern himself on aacount of the accident, and hoped that his Grace was uninjured. As soon as search could be made, it was instituted; and the belief was, that all the diamonds that had been knocked off in the fall were secured. As soon as the Queen quitted the throne the housekeeper ap peared in front of it, thus taking charge of the position, and civilly preventing other parties from too nearly ap proaching it.. Officials connected with the House were also placed within its immediate vicinity, further to guard against any improper searchings for diamonds, &c. that might be lost. The Queen having quitted the House, the event be came the subject of still more earnest conversation. The Duke of Wellington remained in the long, or Royal gallery, by which the Queen had passed from the House of Lords, for some time explaining to various Peeresses as they passed the untoward event, and the consoling address of her Illajesty to the Duke of Argyll. The Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir A. Clifford (Black Rod), &c., were quite as much engaged in the body of the House in explaining the circumstances. MR. C. BULLER AT LISKEARD.—On Wednesday evening last Mr. Charles Buller met his constituents at Lis keard, for the purpose of addressing them, as is his annual custom, on the political topics of the session, and on the course that he had taken with regard to them. The Hon. Gentle man's appearance was very sudden, so that not more than twelve hours' public notice was given of his intention. Notwithstanding the shortness of the announcement the Guildhall was crowded to excess, and the greatest unanimity prevailed throughout the evening. Th. , . Learned Gentleman's address gave the highest satisfaction, particularly his explanation of the reasons for his vote in favour of the Maynooth education grant, on which it was known that he differed in opinion from a number of his oonstituents. 321 / ' . ; 97% 10 3% 21% 20 1 ,4 7% p 1% 10 3 / 4 5 1 4 - 54 22 268. 3d. 5 1 13 1 4 15 14 1 2 3 ..... 51 1 5 30 231 126 50 109 23 1 . 26 - 12% 15 2 1 4 12 1 4 141, 2 5 109% 1635. 9d, 1114 78% 6 % P 178 I91R• 3d. 200 140 6 1 4 5 [23. 6d, I 7 11-16 12 1/1 I%p 21% 3% 13s. p. 6% ..... 625. 79% 1535. 4d. 235. 6d 373. p _ 1.18.6 d, 56s 20% 21s. 57i 14% 2516 1214 14 15% 7% 79% 1227.6d.p , 71. 9s. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. INQUEST UPON THE GUARD. CAMBRIDGE, A uo. 11.—The inquest on the body of John Cauldwell, a guard in the service of the Eastern Counties Rail way Company, who died in Addenbrooke's Hospital, in this town, on Friday last, from the effects of injuries received on the Monday previous, when the accident occurred on this line in the neigh bourhood of Littlebury, was resumed yesterday at the Town hall, before Mr. C. H. Cooper, the borough Coroner, and a ro spectable jurj. The inquest was opened on Friday night, but the proceed ings on that occasion were confined to an identification of the remains of deceased. On the resumption of the inquiry this morning the first witness called was Willi - am Lawford, the resident engineer to the company between Bishop's Stortford and Cambridge, who deposed that he was on the train on Monday last, when the accident oc curred. He had examined his watch with the clock at Shore ditch, and they agreed. He noticed the time at the different stations, and at Stortford the train was from four to six minutes behind time. At Wendon they were to time, as spe cified in the bill—namely, fifty minutes past twelve ; and here they stopped about four or five minutes. Wendon is about three miles from the'gene of the accident. There is a curve there of two miles radius, or 140 chains. There is an inclina tion a'so of one in one hundred and fifty-one feet. The dis tance from Stortford to Wendon is about eleven miles, and during that space thee had to make up the lost time of from four to six minutes. The fail at this part of the line amounted to 104 feet in three miles. There were no posts put up to direct the engine-drivers as to where the inclination commenced. Witness saw the rail which is supposed to have caused the ac cident about two hours after the occurrence. It had then been taken up from its position and thrown aside. Mr. Fernihough, the superintendent of the locomotive de partment, who was upon the engine at the time of the accident, was next examined. He repeated his conviction that the train was not going at a greater speed than thirty miles an hour when the accident occurred, and as to the cause of the catas trophe, he stated it as his opinion that it could only be a matter of conjecture. Mr. Joseph Jackson, the superintendent of the line from Brandon to Cambridge, was next called. He repeated the testimony which he gave at the former inquiry, adding no fact of importance. Mr. R. S. Best, a student of Queen's College, said he was a passenger in the train to which the accident occurred. He noticed nothing particular before they arrived at Wendon. After leaving Wendon it nets the subject of conversation among the passengers that they were going faster than t-f.re. He did not notice it, however. He only thought they were not going quicker than ordinary quick trains. Immediately before the shock he felt an oscillation. Mr. Phepps, engineer of the line, deposed that he had ex amined the scene of the accident. He thought the immediate cause was the damage to the rail by a blow or jump of the wheel, and witness described the mode in which the same might occur, as in his former evidence. He thought that a slight curve was safer than a straight line, as it kept the engine to its work and prevented oscillatiom. Mr. John Randall, manager of Jackson's part of the line, deposed that, on the particular part of the line where the ac cident occurred, there were twenty men to the mile to look after the rails and keep them in order. The foreman went over the line at different times during the day to see that all was right. The iron supplied for the rail was frojn Messrs. Crawshay, of Merthyr Tydvil. Mr. H. Mitchell, house-surgeon to Addenbrooke's Hospital, deposed that John Caultiwell was brought to the hospital on the Alonday previous. He was suffering from a severe com pound fracture of the left leg. The right leg was slightly bruised, but not otherwise injured. He was sensible when be was first brought to the hospital. The next day he became insensible. There were occasional signs of sensibility, but not of intelligence ; and he remained in that way till he died on Friday night. There was a post marten: examination by the surgeons of the hospital, at which witness attended. It was discovered that the vessels of the brain were generally very much congested. The leg was set, but was not going on favourably. It must have been amputated. The deceased made a statement to witness, but not with the prospect of death before him. Witness did not tell him that he was likely to die. Witness thought that the contrary would be the case when deceased made his statement. The CORONER ruled that, under the circumstances described, the statement could not be received. Mr. Mitchell, in continuation—But for the injury to the brain, the deceased, in all probability, might have recovered. The injury might have been, and in all probability was, pro duced by a fall. Robert Scott, a labourer on the line, deposed that he looked after the railway for half a mile, near Littlebury. Ho had a foreman over him. He was at his dinner on the bank when the train was coming up. It was going very fast. He described the aecident as in his former evidence. He did not see John Caaldwell until they were taking him from among the carriages. He had looked over the line after the previous train had gone by, and found all was right. A brother of the deceased here expressed a wish that the statement made by the unfortunate man on his death-bed should be received ; but the Coroner, after some difficulty, satis fied him that he could not legally take it under the circum. stances described above. The jury having expressed a wish to examine Cox, the labourer, who at the Littlebury inquest deposed that the train was passing down the incline at the rate of fifty miles an hour, he was called. After some delay, however, it was ascertained that he was not present. The solicitor for the Company having informed the Coroner that he should be immediately sent for, that functionary determined to adjourn the proceedings until five o'clock, it being already past three. At five o'clock the jury reassembled. During the interval the damaged rail had been conveyed from the scene of the accident and placed in the large room of the town-hall, where the jury had an opportunity of inspecting it. During the exami nation, Mr. Anthony, one of the jurymen, had two of his fingers badly crushed, through those persons who held one end, dropping the rail unexpectedly. Thejury were, therefore, de tained nearly half an hour, while Mr. Anthony went to a sur geon to have his wound dressed. Mr. Hanson, the local director of the traffic department on the line, here said that he had made every exertion to obtain Cox's attendance to-day, He had sent three special engine_• after him. From the last mission they had received no intel• ligence. From the other two, information had been brought back that he had been bound to attend at some police-office in consequence of a drunken squabble in which he had been en gaged the day previous. He complained of persons having ill treated him. Several of the jury were of opinion that Cox's evidence was absolutely necessary to enable them to come to a just verdict. A considerable delay here took place. The CORONER at length said the jury would do well to re tire, and consider whether, as Cox could not be found, they would hear the evidence of Young, the driver. The Coroner's own private opinion was, that it would be as proper to take it at once as any other evidence offered during the day. This opi nion, however, should not bias the jury's, and they might do as they pleased on the matter. One or two of the jury expressed themselves as determined to have Cox's evidence, and to wait for it. The CORONER—You had better retire. Whilst the jury were discussing the point a messenger ar rived with news that the absentee had been found. Immediately afterwards Cos entered the room , and being sworn, repeated in great part the evidence he had before de posed to at Littlebury. Ile added that if any man said the train was going only at thirty-five miles an hour speed he did not speak the truth. _ _ In answer to a juryman, witness said he could distinctly see the jumping as high as six or seven inches at fifty yards' dis tance. Other men who were with him also saw it. He had seen trains go faster without any accident occurring ; and h e did not anticipate any accident on this occasion. If no acci dent bad taken place he should not have said that it was going toe fast. He only saw one wheel jump; it was the fore-wheel nearest to him. He was a ganger on the line over a gang of men. He saw the rails about once a day, and examined as to whether they were all right or not. Every man had a halt mile length to look after, and a foreman looked over a certain number. A juror said to the witness that it had been stated he was at a police-office to-day, to make a complaint against some onc who had assaulted him. Was it in consequence of the evidence he had given ?—Witness said it was not. In answer to another juryman, witness said he was of opinion that the fore-wheel jumped upon and split the rail, and that the hind-wheel followed and doubled it up. The CORONER said that there was a great discrepancy in the accounts as to the rate of speed. The witness now under examination stated it to be about fifty miles an hour. Whe ther he could be deemed as good and accurate a judge as Mr. Fernihough and others, who stated that it was not more than thirty-five miles an hour et the most, was for the jury to decide. The general opinion of the jury was, that the evidence of Cox, although given honestly, was yet erroneous with regard to time and speed. The engine -driver, John Young, was here called, and the oath having been administered by the Coroner, he was exa mined at length. He said the train was proceeding at the rate of from twenty-eight to thirty miles an hour, and added that he observed nothing uneasy or unusual in the motion till the engine was thrown on to the ballast. The reason for her getting off the rail, he thought, was that the road was not good in that part. Witness, in answer to a juryman, said that he had 465. Bd. a week, and other -advantages. After the reception of some other unimportant evidence, The CORONER summed up. He remarked that, by receiv ing Young's evidence the jury had acquitted him of all blame, and virtually declared he had not been going at an improper speed. Cox's evidence, it could not be doubted, was given honestly, although mistakenly. The only question now left for the consideration of the jury was that of a deodand. After some remarks on the present state of the law of deodands, the Coroner, addressing the jury, said he left the case i❑ their hands, with full confidence that they would do justice to all parties. The jury then retired, and after about half-an-hour's delibe ration, returned a verdict of " Accidental death, with a deo dand of ls. on the engine and Is. on the carriage." They also added a recommendation to the Company to have direction posts at all inclines on the line. • Mr. Hanson said he was happy to be enabled to Inform the jury that those posts had been already ordered.

The reason for this was that 'ooi .vere private matters contained in it, such as the by which they obtained information respecting the rist, and other information connected with the Prl'eobe dons, which he thought other parties ought not tcquainted with. fil d The Duke here endeavoured to obtain from the ybe less a statement of some perticn of the contents o ' e o ie bill that had been delivered, but Mr. Sergeant Sh , e . ecteci, and said the proper course was to produce tP" ,nd let it speak fur itself. , The CHIEF JUSTICE said the Learned Serges il L, Lb°, right, but he reminded the Duke that if he put,„Tb;ol bill if. would be his evidence, and would give a rig reply.
