B.—The in tile tir, k, jed iu Landon last week WAS rather ol ane c than "144 Week, being 562,6701 b. THE SUN, ADELPHI THEATRE. A romantic drama in three :sets, entitled The Queen's Secret; or, The Iron Mask, was produced here last evening with marked success. The hero of the piece is the celebrated and mysterious man in the iron mask, who is here represented to be the elder brother of Louis XIV. The plot is highly ingeni ous :—Roland (Madame Celeste), who, in the end, is doomed to wear the iron mask, has been deserted by his parents, and a reckless adventurer, called the Chevalier de R.:equates (Webster), is employed by the Cardinal Mazsrin to watch over his career. Roland is travelling through a distant part of the country of his birth, when he meets and falls in love with a peasant girl—Aline (Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam), and he is on the point of being married to her, when the nuptials are prevented through the instrumenta lity of the Countess de Chevreuse (Miss Woo!gar), who is aware that a mystery hangs about the his th of the young lover, and is accordingly deeply interested in his welfare. In order to favour the Countess's design the Chevalier (but unknown to her) sets fire to Roland's mansion, and in the confusion which ensues the marriage is suspended. Various incidents follow in rapid succession, and amongst other things it is discovered that the Chevalier had formerly seduced an innocent girl, who had since died, leav ing an only child. The name and history of this child forms another episode in the piece, and serves to increase the mystery which envelopes the character of the Chevalier. The progress of the plot also discloses the fact that Roland is the Queen's son and the brother of Louis XIV., and immediately after this discovery he is consigned to prison under the circumstances before mentioned. The fates, how ever, interpose, through the agency of the aforesaid Countess, whose influence over the destiny of the Chevalier is so povverful that she causes on interview to take place between him and Aline, which leads to the discovery that the girl is his own child. The denouement is felicitous and thoroughly melo-dra matic. In this juncture he is entreated to favour the escape of the imprisoned youth, and so completely is he overcome by compunctions of conscience that he resolves to atone for his conduct by wearing the iron mask in Roland's stead, and leaving the youth to fly from the prison accompanied by his betrothed, who having partaken of his sorrows, is now determined to share his joys in a distant land. Mr. Webster played ' the Chevalier de Rosarges with great judgment and effect. His " make up" was excellent. -Miss Wool gar personated .the Countess in her wonted style of , accomplished efficiency. A scene in the third act between these two excellent performers was most effectively given and loudly applauded. Miss Fitz william displayed much feeling as the peasant girl, Alma ; and Paul Bedford, as the stupid, cowardly Baron, afforded exceeding delight to the audience. Madame Celeste as Roland was admirable. As the peasant youth, the gallant cavalier, and the woe-worn prince, in each phase of the character iu which the hero of the drama is re presented, her picturesque appearance and combing , tion of energy and pathos, rendered the pat one of her most successful roles in melodrama. The play was announced amid giwat applause for repetition every evening until Csieste's departure for America, whence ihe frequenters of the Adelphi will ardently long for her happy return, crowned, if possiole, with additional laurels. 01 this most talented lady a morning contempory happily remarks—" As a dramatic artist she is, in her own particular line, unrivalled. For thorough picturesqueness and artistie grace of appearance, Madame Celeste, in many or the fantastic parts she loves best to play, is quite a phenomenon. Let the playgoer call to wind the di , ,guises in the Mysterious Stranger—tilt, wit by fanenul and thoroughly pic turesque bearing of Miami in ;he Green Bushes—or the very striking portraiture in The Flowers of the Forest In ' wake up' and bearing MaJalTle Celeste possesses, indeed, almost unequalli-d powers. As an actress she bas always )abound under the disadvan tal,e of speaking broken English, and she is far from being free from mannerism; but she has perfect in telligence—ner conception of a part is singularly vivid and acute—and she always plays with unflagging energy and genuine earnestness, her heart and her powers thoroughly in the work. Madame Celeste's management of the Adelphi has been deservedly pros perous. She has worked as hard in the arduous task of getting up' pieces as in performing her own part in them. Her taste and judgment in the prepara tion and arrangement of elaborate scenes and group ings are consummate ; and we may add tbat, per sonally, Madame Celeste is as much beloved by the establishment over which she presides as she is artis tically respected and appreciated by the public." The new piece is, we understand, adapted to the English stage by Mr. Webster, whom we congratulate on his twofold success, both as adaptor of, and actor in the Queen's Secret. LONDON, THE SPANISH ACCOUNT OF THE, IN VAS lON OF CUBA. (Frcm the Times.) We have been favoured by the Spanish Minister with the following description of the late events in Cuba : " The Spanish _Minister has read the leading article published in the Times of Saturday, upon the events that have taken place in the island of Cuba; and being convinced that the errors which it contains can only procesd from the want of a correct and authentic information and from the exaggerated ac counts :nf the American newspaper, he takes the liberty of sending to the Editor of the Times an exact report of what has happened in Cuba during the last invasion. " The following facts are taken from the official documents, and the Spanish Minister in becoming himself responsible for their veracity, sincerely hopes that they may give the Editor of the limes a true idea of the events to which they refer. " M. de Isturitz trusts also in the justice of this highly respected journal, in order to enlighten the public opinion of this country on questions of such magnitude and importance ; as nothing can so effi ciently serve this desirable end as to present the history of the facts, such as they took place, M. de Isturitz thinks it his duty to communicate them to the editor of a journal that, like the Times, has such powerful means of forming and correcting the opinion of one of the greatest nations of the world. " Before proceeding any further it is important to record some facts. The attempt at Round Island, and the - expedition of Cardenas, had clearly and frankly established the respective positions of the Spanish and American Governments. While the former announced in the most public and solemn manner its determination to apply with the utmost rigour the law of the rights of nations to the invaders of Cuba, the latter, through the proclamation of General Taylor, declared them outlaws, and excluded from all protection. Both Governments did re peatedly warn them that death as pirates should be the consequence of their crime; but this advice, per fectly unnecessary in any other country, was not, un fortunately, listened to in America. " The expedition of Cardenas took place, Spanish blood was spilt in that most unjustifiable aggression, and at last - the criminals fled. The Spanish Gover nor, who had in his power the prisoners taken at Contoy, carried' his generosity to the extent of im prudence; some of them were acquitted, the others forgiven, not a single victim fell ; in fact, it was im possible to carry further the effects of clemency. " Soon, however, were felt the results of such a generous conduct. 'die sedition of Puerto Principe, the rising in arms of ..lguero and his few adherents, stimulated by the expectation of a new expedition from the United States, and the final landing of Lopez and his 'parthans-on the northern coast, soon con vinced the Captain-General of Cuba of the fatal effects of former lenity, and of the necessity of the pre scriptions of the law being applied with the utmost severity. "Being therefore decided to act with energy, he received at 3 o'clock in the morning of the 12th a dispatch from the captain of her Majesty's frigate Esperanze, addressed to the Governor of Mariel, ad vising the approach of a steamer. The Captain-Ge ne, al, calculating the direction of the suspected vessel, did not hesitate one instant, and at 7 o'clock that same morning the war-steamer Pizarro, under the command of General Brutillos, sailed from Havannah, with seven companies of troops (about 700 men), having in tow a echooner with the horses belonging to the stuff officers, and a few soldiers of the Regi ment el Rey, all of them commanded by General Enna. " The Pizarro anchored the same day in Bahia Londa, four leagues distant from Playitas, where the pirates- had landed in the morning. Lopez had divided his forces. About 400 men were possessed of a village called Las Poses, and 100 more were placed in El Morillo, a small hill with a few houses that look upon the coast, with the probable intent of assisting the landing of new expeditions, or to secure a retreat in case of a defeat. " General Enna, impatient for fighting, and no doubt deceived by the many and contradictory reports consequent upon the hour and haste, divided also his small forces. Two companies attacked the hill El Morillo ; two more remained out of the seat of action ; and himself, with only three companies, attacked the main body of the invaders, consisting of at least 350 men, protected by the houses of the village, by some defensive works rapidly made, and by the difficulties of the ground. General Bona had, therefore, to fight against an enemy not only superior in force, but who had besides the advantage of being defended by strong parapets. "-The Spanish troops attacked with the bayonet, receiving the fire of the enemy, and they met with the most desperate resistance. The loss on both sides was very considerable, and both parties fought, man against man, in the streets of the villages. The Queen's forces had 120 men wounded, and a consi derable, but yet unknown, number of dead, among whom was the second major of the Leon regiment. General Enna, who had his horse killed under him, found himself obliged, in consequence of the position occupied by the enemy, to wait fur the artillery and to retreat with his small force. The pirates left the village to attack him, but the general charged them with his few men and compelled them to re-enter their shehered positions. He then halted at a short distance with his little force, which he bad yet to di vide by the necessity of transporting and escorting the wounded to Bahia Londa. " There he remained, without being at all mo lested, till the 15th, in the morning, when he was re inforced by four companies of infantry and 150 horses, that the Captain-General of Cuba had sent under the command of the colonel chief of the general staff, and on that same day he was also joined by another column of five companies and two mountain pieces under the orders of Brigadier-General Dun Martin Rosales. " The invaders, who had remained inactive since the encounter on the 13th, contrived to leave the vil lege of Las Poses; and by the latest news from the Havannah, dated the rich, at eight o'clock in the morning, it is known that Lopez had only with him 200 men out of the 500 he had at the time he landed. All the others had been killed in the affray of Las Poses, or had been dispersed and shot by the troops and by the country people, who had spontaneously set on their pursuit. " Ia this number are included the 50 adventurers made prisoners by the crew of the steamer Habanero. The following are the circumstances and particulars of the executions :—Tbey had been taken in four beats on the coast of Cuba in Spanish waters. They formed part of the expedition of Lopez, and they were all found armed, with a chief and five officers at their heed. They arrived at Havannah early in the morning of the 16th, and having been found guilty by their own evidence and declarations, they were shot at half-past eleven, near the Castle of Atates. More than 20,000 spectators were present at that melancholy scene, and raised their vivas for the Queen and for Spain. The troops had formed a square, the cavalry and the civil guard being on the sides. The colonel was shot alone, the five officers together, and the other individuals 10 by 10. All of them were immediately withdrawn from the place of execution to make room fur their unfortunate fellow-sufferers. Their mortal remains were, also, immediately placed in 10 hearses, furnished by the funeral undertakers, who, dressed all in black, carried them to be decently buried. The troops marched round after the execu tion, and then withdrew; not one single corpse remained in the square ; then, and only then, were the people allowed to enter the place where such a painful act of justice bad been performed. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A story, which has its place among Parisian legends, and which may be indifferently called the " Murderous Barber," or the Barbarous Murder," has been diluted down from cut-throat horror to broad farce, and has been produced at the Olympic under the title of 1 have Eaten my Friend. In the proper story a Parisian barber cut the throats of his customers, and they were conveyed by means of a subterranean communication to a pieman next door, who converted them into meat for pasties. In the farce these facts are so modified that a gentleman is only made to suppose the horrors, on the strength of a button found iu a pie,and his terrors give a good opportunity for Mr. Compton to display his admirable. humour. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Last night those clever American _children, the Batemans, appeared in some scenes from Macbeth. There was great ability, and a remarkable knowledge of stage effect ; but the physical powers of children, how ever clever they may be, are uneqii to the demands of such Shaksperian characters as the Thane of CAW dor and his mau-nearted wife. In comedy beyond doubt, their forte lies. Tnese children bring a freshness and liveliness into comedy, which really ,oust be seen to be appreciated. The archnes,—the mo dulated tones—the varying expression—the thorough child-like enjoyment of the characters they represent —the mock dignity—the by-play—the natural ex pression of humour—all are given in a manner which prevents the attention from flagging for a moment, mod would stamp as first-rate actors " children of a larger growth," who could at all convey the same natural expresaiun of enjoyment.

He wore the high conical cap of the Persian coun try. He was accompanied by a dragoman and a servant. His Excellency left Southampton fur Loudon by an early train. During his voyage he sat at table in the saloon with the other passengers, and was not more particular in his diet than liberal Mussnlmaus usually are. he drank his tea out of a glass tumbler, making it sweet and hot, without milk er cream.

Under simillr circumstances what country has ever acted in a different way ? "It is natural and easily understood that mankind will shudder at the blood spilt on the scaffold for poli tical crimes during a civil etrife. And yet how many more constant and numerous executions than that of Havannah have recently taken place in the presence of all Europe without one single newspaper raising its voice to accuse of cruelty the countries in which they wo re perpetrated ? "But when the victims, whatever degree of pity they may excite as unknown adventurers and merce nary foreigners, without a God, without a law, without a flag'—who, as the Times so sensibly says, are clearly as guilty of piracy as any felon who ever swung in chains on coast or headland, sailing to at tack the possessions of a Government at peace with their own, and to divide among themselves the plunder of the expedition'—can then appear unnatural the ap plication of the law, and can it be considered as a wanton act of cruelty ? Were they ignorant of the law ? Were they not aware long ego of what sort of punishment awaited them ? Did they not act with perfect knowledge and most deliberately ? O, does the cruelty consist in there being .500 invaders instead of 20 or 30 pirates ? This would be just a reason why it became more indisFensable and ne cessary to act with all severity; because the greater the number the greater was the danger, the more atrocious and deliberate the crime, the more impru dent.and pernicious the impunity of the pirates. Lenity and generosity would have been in such a case a proof of weakness and impotence which would have brought swarms of fresh adventurers to plunder and destroy the island of Cuba. " And if historical precedents are consulted, where is to be found a more lenient and clement Government then that of Spain ? The English annals themselves —do they not furnish us with many examples of more numerous and harsher punishments? What has England recently done with the pirates of the Chi nese seas ? Can the number of the adventurers that were shot in Havannah be compared with that of those so justly exterminated by the naval forces of Great Britain ? And yet those Chinese pirates went not in search of England within her own possessions; they did not go deliberately to spill the blood of her soldiers and her subjects; nor to rob them of their property: "Guided by these principles, Spain is determined to follow the same course. At peace with the Go vernment of the United States, and respecting as she does all the rights of American subjects, she will treat and punish as pirates those adventurers who may invade her territory, without inquiring whence they come from or what country they belong to. "If, in consequence of General Enna having di vided his forces, the expedition of Lopez has not been totally annihilated within the 24 hours, its ruin was nevertheless imminent and certain, according to the last accounts. Pursued by the Spanish troops in every direction, the 200 men that remained with him were marching on the 16th towards Artemisa, the only road that the well-concerted measures of the Captain-General had left him open ; and in order to meet Lopez there he had already sent a part of the garrison of Havannah, while three columns that were formerly in Las Posas harassed him in every direction. " Being now sure of the issu?, the Captain-General had ordered the troops commanded by General Enna, and those of Brigadier Rosales, to remain in observa tion from Marie' to the mouth of the Rio Blanco, while those under the orders of Colonel Elijalor were to return to Pinar del Rio with the purpose of oppos ing any new expeditions that might be sent from the United States. The next steamer will most probably bring the news of the total destruction of Lopez and his band, against whom the spirit and the feelings of the country have shown themselves mast decidedly hostile. Nowhere have they found the slightest sup port nor sympathy ; on the contrary, wherever they have arrived the inhabitants have abandoned their homes and their occupations to join the troops and fight them. " The Spani4h Minister has deemed it his duty to submit these observations, and to present en exact narrative of the facts to the Editor of the Times, and he sincerely trusts that in his impartiality and sense of justice he will bear them in mind, or will have the kindness to give them room in the columns of his well credited and widely circulated journal.

If paraffine be heated, it is con verted iato olefiant gas, the illuminating principle of the ordinary gas which lights our streets and houses. It may, therefore, be appropriately termed " solid gas." Tne oil produced is also paraffine in a different con dition, and thus Mr. Young, by distilling cosl at a low heat, has succeeded in producing solid and liquid gas. The importance of this discovery was pointed out by Baron Liebig in a recent work, wherein he describes the solidification of gas as one of the greatest wants of the age. Mr. Young has produced the de sired result by a process preliminary in its stage to that hinted at by the great chemist, and in weight the results obtained by him tally exactly with what they would be in the manufacture of common gas.

THE LATE DISASTER ON THE BUCK 11VGHAMSH1RE RAILWAY. This inquiry was commenced at the King's Head Inn, on Monday morning, before W. Brunner, Esq., and a jury. Inc bodies of the deceased Elizabeth Easley, Thomas Noon, Sarah Sheldon, William Sheldon (her child), Joseph Luckett, and William Carrier, having been viewea by the jury, the following evidence was taken : William Colliss, cabinetmaker at Oxford, identified the bodies of ElizAbeth Easley, aged 27, Sarah Shel don, and her child William. George Garden deposed—l reside at 5, Thomas street, Oxford-street, London, and am a porter. I was a passenger, and am fractured. I was on my evey to Oxford, and was in a second-class carriage. It was the last but one next the engine. We left Euston station at 4.30. I counted 15 carriages, in chiding the engine and tender, when we started. There were from 20 to 30 persons in the carriage I was in. At Bletchley the carriages were reversed. There was a soldier in the same carriage. We stopped twice on our way down. The engine was in front of me. At Winslow we stopped for water. We left for Bices ter. I found a rocking of the carriages, but I did not know where I was. Two of my fellow-passen gers by the rocking , fell against me , an d f orce d me against the side, and hurt my shoulder. They clung to me, and pulled me on my other side. I threw myself on the bottom of the carriage, and found my hat doubled up. The carriage turned over directly on to its side, and the bottom flew off. 1 then crept out. I do not know what became of the two persons who were by my side. I only saw the soldier's back, and should not know him. It was light enough to see the rails. I have travelled by rail many times, and have gone faster. We appeared to be going a moderate pace. On coming to Bicester I did not hear any whistle or cry of alarm. The rocking did not take place till the accident, which was momentary. At the time of the accident we were going at about the pace we had before travelled. William Bolton deposed—l live at 4, Olive-place, Amwell-street, London, and am a cheesemonger. I was a passenger by the train from London to Oxford on Saturday. I was in a second-class carriage, next to the engine. Joseph Luckett, who is my cousin, was in the same carriage. We were on our way to Oxford. A brother was with me. I did not perceive anything wrong till the jar. I thought we came very fast from Winslow to Bicester, but Ido not know the times. I am not in the habit of travelling much by rail. At the time of the accident there was a crash and cracking, and I became insensible by a crushing on me. There was a long signal whistle given, and I remarked it to my brother. I have beard signal whistles before. I did not hear any call to stop. The carriage I was in seemed to go over like a crash of thunder, and to come on me. lam told that I was sawed out, and that I was under the carriage three hours and a half. In the same carriage there was a soldier and a person with mustachios reading the paper. Yesterday I found that my brother was hurt, and that my cousin was dead. After I had lain a time under the carriage I came to myself. My face was to the ground, and I was across another person. We talked, and I managed to take his hand kerchief off. My face was to the ground, and the dirt got up my nostrils. I felt a pressure across my thighs and loins. We could not see each other. lie was taken out after me. We could not extricate ourselves. The lower part of my body appeared dead. I heard the groans of the sufferers, and a man laid hold of my foot from the outside, and talked to me. It was me who cried out that they were pulling my legs too close together. When I saw Joseph Luckett, my cousin, yesterday, he was not dead, but he was insensible. lie appeared to be dead. My cousin is a cheesemonger, and resided in Carburton street, Fitzroy-square. Ile is about twenty-eight or thirty years of age. Mr. Bolton, 4of Ferest.hill, is uncle to me. At this 3t; , ge of the inquiry a juryman remarked that the chairman of tha company and directors were present, and he put it to the coroner whether during the examination of their servants it would be best for them to witdraw ? The coroner and the jury thought it should be so. Sir Harry Verney acquiesced. John Mason identified the body of Thomas Noon, lance-corporal of the Royal Sappers and Miners. William Carrier deposed—l am an engine-driver on the Buckinghamshire branch of the London and North-Western Railway. The deceased Wm. Carrier is my son. John Scott deposed—l am a butcher at Bicester. When the train was coming in:l was near the station master's house, waiting to see the train come in. I saw the train corning. The engine left the carriages, and came on the Bicester side, and the carriages went on the other rails. When the engine came towards me, I ran into the porch of the house. Up to the points the line is single. It is then double by the Bicester station. From where I stood I could not see the points ; but I think it was light enough for me to see. Wilmott, the policeman, was at the points. I did not see him doing anything to them. I saw him waive the red flag before the engine came to him, and Harris, the policeman, who was near me, waived his red flag. I did not hear any whistle or alarm till the engine came up. I was alarmed and ran into the porch of the station master's house. The coke flew, and the steam came towards me, and I got off as soon as possible. Thomas Shaw deposed—l am a saddler at Bices ter. At about seven o'clock on Saturday evening I was by the side of the turnpike road, leaning on the rails by the Launton side, when the train came up. I had no reason to think it would stop at Bicester. I heard the whistle of the engine before I saw the train. It whistled up to the points. I saw Wilmott, the policeman, at the points. Harris, another police man, who has charge of the gates, was near me. Harris, when the train was near to the points, hallooed to Wilmott, " Put them on the straight road." Wil mott turned round and called for the signal to be put up at the station. He was at the place where the handles were. I do not know how the points were, nor do I know whether they were shifted. The straight line for Oxford appeared to be clear. I saw Wilmott waving the red flag before Harris called to him. I could see the train for about 200 yards from where I stood. There is a sharp curve on the Lxun ton side. The engine came on the straight line, and knocked the rails down. It seemed to take a leap towards where I stood, and went in the direction of the station-master's house. The leap appeared to commence about twenty yards from wher3 I stood. It knocked down the posts in front of the station-master's house, and went tear to it. The tender was not attached to the engine when it knocked down the posts. The tender was on the line a little askew. The engine was tearing the rails up. The carriages went on the down line towards Oxford. I saw the car riages turned over from the down line. They fell towards the road leading to Aylesbury. The car riages were detached from the tender. As soon as Wilmott called to Harris a signal was put up at the station. It was the red signal, and was put fully up. I cannot say how many of the carriages were over. turned. The engine had not come fully into sight at the time Harris called to Wilmott to put them on the straight road. James Smith deposed—l reside at 14, Priory street,, Camden-town, London, and am an acountant. I was a passenger in a second-class corriage by the excursion trade from Euston -station to Oxford last Saturday afternoon. When we left Bletchley-station the carriage I was in was next to the parcel carriage, which was next to the engine and tender. Before the train reached the station at Bicester, I heard the whistle of the engine blowing loudly. The whistles were not quite continuous, but two or three of them were very long and loud. I had no suspicion that the engine was off the line. The first intimation I had of anything being wrong was the jerking of the carriage in which I was. I was by the jerkiug thrown from my seat, and imme diately a mass of carriages came over me. It was more than three home before I was extricated. I spoke] to the poor soldier, but he did not answer me. I was thrown on my back, with an immense pres sure on the lower part of my body. It was quite dark around me. Before the accident occurred it was just becoming dark. As I lay otethe ground amongst the ruins, I had scarcely sufficient room to breathe. I could not move my hands, and scarcely my head. I never lost my recollection. I heard the soldier groan directly after the crash took place. The deceased mother and child (Sheldon) were in the same carriage as I was. I have viewed all the dead persons, and find they were all in the same carriage with me. The crash was so instantaneous that I have not the sligbest knowledge how I fell. There were two other persons in the same compartment as myself who were not kill e d, but were injured. I attributed my life to the boy (King) creeping with a wet handkerchief to me and kept me from fainting. Thomas Dawson deposed—l ern a surgeon at Bi cester. In conjunction with other surgeons I have seen the injured persons. I saw the bodies of Eliza beth Easley, Thomas Noon, Sarah Sheldon, William Sheldon, Joseph Luckett, and William Carrier, s oon after they were extricated. and, Easley, from appearances, died from pressure, fractures, and suffo cation. She has a fractured jaw, and injuries to the head. William Carrier's death Was probably from dislocation of the neck, but he has other injuries. His death was probably , instantaneou s . Th omas Noon had pressure on the caest, end has injuries on the head. From appearances I should say he died f ro m suffocation. Sarah Sheldon, I should-- from suffocation and injury to the skull.say,Y died —he child' s death must have been instantaneous, from its skull being fractured. Luckett, who survived some hours, died from fracture of the s k u ll and injury to the chest. Mr. Wyatt and Mr. Acton saw all the persons with me. Messrs. Wyatt and Acton were passengers by the train. Alfred Wyatt, of Oxford, medical student of Eines College, London, deposed—l was a second-class pas seger by the excursion train on Saturday. Before we reached Bicester I very distinctly heard a whistle. It appeared louder than I ever heard on that line before. The carriage I WAS in was partly off the line, but was not upset. I think it was the fourth. I felt a severe shock, which threw me back against the carriage. It ras from some impedi ment in front as I suppose. It was repeated five or six times, as if from shocks from carriages coming from behind against us. I saw the engine whisk to where it now is, and I did not know whether it was not another engine overtaking us. We appeared to be running parallel with it. One or two men r an into the porch of the station-masters house. I got out, and on so doing others jumped on me. I then saw a man running away with his head cut open. I went to him and told him to sit down, and I would sew his head up. I had my instruments with me. At the moment I found there was more serious work. Two carriages were over in splinters, from which there were piteous cries. Another carriage was on its side. I then got a sledge hammer and knocked the handles off a door, and let out persons. A person was carried by me on a board. I asked if he was dead. They said, "If you are a surgeon come and see, for we do not know." I went and found he was not dead, but in a hopeless state. It was Luckett. His skull was fractured and he was severely cut. I attended him afterwards, and took charge of his property. He had a gold ring, 145., and a pocket handkerchief. I then assisted others in the best manner I could, and went to the public-houses and ordered beds. I treated about 16, whom I have not seen since. They went off. There are now nine under medical treatment at Bicester. Some are not out of danger. Late at night other surgeons came, and Luckett was operated on. This house was used for the reception of the bodies. The carriage in which Mr. Acton was was a first-class one. It was turned over, but he was not hurt much. lam of opinion that the accident happened at the points, but how would, on my p ar t, b e only suppos i t i on. When the engine was running by the side it was off the line, as if for the station-master's house. It occurred to me that I would go and see if the men who ran to the porch were smashed. I did go, and there found that the engine had not reached the house. (Mr. M'Connell at this stage of the proceedings placed before the jury a map and plan of the locality.) After the accident I looked to the rails. Se veral on the line near to the station-master's house were with the chairs turned up. The near side guard of the engine is broken back near to the wheel, and it ought to be four inches in advance. All the rails torn up were on the Bicester side. One of the rails was in the engine-wheel. This, I be lieve, prevented the engine from knockin g the house down. I heard Mr. Dawson's evidence as to the cause of the death of the deceased parties, and quite concur in his opinion. It being now four o'clock, the Coroner said be would call no More witnesses that day, but adjourn the inquiry to ten o'clock the next morning. In obe dience to a suggestion of the Learned Gentleman, the jury now accompanied himself and the railway officials to the scene of the accident, where a very close in quiry took place as to the nature of the " points," and the extent of damage done to the line, in order to As sist the jury in their investigation.

The bal loon, when it had ascended some considerable height, took a south-westerly direction towards Fulham, still rising as it proceeded, but in a very few minutes an alteration suddenly appeared in the shape of the lower part of the balloon, and it was immediately evident that an accident bad happened, and that the top of the balloon had collapsed, and it was fast descending co .. the earth, which it fortunately reached in the market garden garden grounds of Mr. Gorge Bagley, 13 ishop's-walk, at Fulham, none of the e ns sudden car sustaining the slighest injury be- I:wn by the shock and alarm into which they were t thrown one of accident, and Alr.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The attendence at the Crystal Palace once more appears to be on the increase, and yesterday the receipts at the doors rose to 2,7671. Us. ; the number of visitors according to the police returns was 56,85 .) . Fer this increase several reasons may he assigned, a . mong . which may be mentioned the gradual diminu tion of harvest labour and the approaching close of the Exhibition. Another feature now becomes promi nent. The working classes appear upon the scene in great force, and seem determined to witness the spec tacle while it is still in their power to do so. We do not remember to have seen so many artisans and me chanics present in the interior as there were yester day. During the whole of the forenoon they might be observed in continuous streams from every avenue of approach flawing towards the centre of attracCon, and their attention was principally o ccupied by the machinery in motion, which during the day was almcst blocked up with visitors. A curious fact was mentioned to us as illustrative of the anxiety still felt in the provincial towns to inspect the wonders cf the Exhibition. On Saturday night, before the departure of the excursion train to Lond on , o ne pawnbroker in Leeds had received on deposit no less than a btinhel and a half of watches; and this sudden and extraor dinary accession of business he attributes entirely to the desire which those who are little able to aTord the treat have to visit the Crystal Palace. The baild ing in llyde-park is at last drawing towards it the humbler classes of the population. They find that a reduction of the existing admission fee is now hope less, and they make up their minds to gratify a long pent up curiosity at all hazards and regardless of expense. l'be unpacking of the recently arrived contributions from Sweden still continues, and is superintended by the commissioner from that country, M. Hjertsberg. Though late in the day, these exertions to make a worthy display in the great industrial gathering of all nations will no doubt be fairly appreciated by the public. It may be satisfactory to the shopkeepers and Utile of London generally to know th a t the Royal Com mission are fully determined to adhere strictly ta their early pledges, and that they will not land themselves, under the most pressing circumstances to any sales which might interfere with the ordinary course of business, and would certainly be foreign to the main objects of the Exhibition. Strong repre sentations have been made to them on this point by contributors from abroad, and especially from those whose Governments have come forward most liber ally in helping to defray their expenses. This is another example, if illuttrations of the point were wanted, of the advantages of a self -relying spirit, and of the evils consequent upon state support used to bolster up private enterprise. There is every rea -1 son to believe that France will benefit largely by the share which her manufacturers have taken in the Ex hibition ; extensive purchases have been made of the goods displayed in that cl:partment ; and we observe that M. Lacrosse, the president of the permanent i committee, at a recent meeting of that body in Paris, announced that two of the principal branches of French manufactures (jewellery and cabinet-making), which it was feared would be without employment during the winter, would be able to furnish work to their numerous hands by means of the large orders which they had received in consequence of the Ex- . hibition. Our neighbours undoubtedly occupy a prominent position in the industries s pecified, and ,we are glad to find that their merits are thus far recog nised and have led to such good practical results. The mean temperature in the building during , the day, according to the readings of Mr. Bennett 's ther mometers, was 60. There are few things which to one well acquainted with the collection of products in Hyde Park appear more striking than the remarkable aids which the science of chemistry is there see n lending to our manufactures. The process of the Chevalier Claussen for converting flax fibre into a substitute for raw cotton has already attracted great p uolic notice, and is likely to lead to most important and practical re sults. Mercer's discovery for improving the dyeing proper yeing properties of cotton fabrics, and giv in g to their tex ture the closeness and fineness of linen, another singular example of this kind. It was in making some experiments on water that he accidently hit upon the influence of soda on the great staple of our manufactures, and be patiently pursued his investiga. tions until they led him to the process which now bears his name. We have to add to the list of che mical contributions to our national industry de veloped in the Exhibition another striking and important discovery, made by Mr. Jam es Young, of Manchester ; but in order to un derstand its character it is necessary to give some explanation. It may be recol lected that some time ago a spring of mineral o il, like those in Persia and other countries, was timed in a mine in Derbyshire. O n distillation it was as certained to be an oil of great value fur the lubrica tion of machinery, and was much used for that pur pose in Manchester, but the supply ceased. M r . Young's attention was then directed to th e su bj ect. From its connexion with the coat district he be lieved that it might be produced therefrom by che mical means. Tne naphtha produced by the distil lation of coal differs entirely from that found in the atural spring referred to. Mr. Young, h owever, h as discover e d a process by which he entirety converts the volatile principle of coal into a liquid oil, an d i n t o a substance call e d paraffine . This substance had never ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITION. The following letter from Captain Parker, of the Truelove whale ship, giving an account of Captain Austin's expedition up to the 13th of September, 1850, has been brought by Captain Ord, of the Tyne, of Berwick•upon-Tweed, which ship arrived at that port on the 6th inst., from Davis Straits. From this letter it would appear that the searching expeditions were about to enter into winter quarters on the southern shore of Cornwallis Island, in Barrow Straits, and Captain Parker, of the Truelove, trans mits a letter from Mr. Kane, surgeon of the United States expedition, which will be read with the deepest interest by all concerned in Sir John Franklin's ex pedition. The traces of Sir John Franklin's expedition, which had been already reported by Captain For syth as having been discovered by Captain Omman ney and Lieutenant Bertie Cator, has been further followed up by Captain Ommanney, Captain Penny, and Captain De Haven, of the United States ex pedition, placing beyond a doubt the safety of Sir John Franklin's ships up to this point, which was their first winter quarters, and during their sojourn at which there is not the slightest ground for sup posing that any disastsr of any description bad oc curred beyond the ordinary casualties of life among such a number, three men having died of the two ships' companies up to April, 1846, about which period they would be preparing to push forward on the main object of the expedition. N.B. The persons whose graves are here reported formed part of the expedition. Mr. M'Donald is Assistant-Surgeon of the Terror. " Davis Straits, July 24, 1851. "My Lords,—May it please your Lordships to re ceive at my hands the enclosed testimony, received on the 12th of July, of the American searching ves sels of the account of their voyage in search of Sir John Franklin. "On the 13th of September, 1850, they left all the searching vessels at Cape Martyrs, Cornwallis Is land, they not being enabled to pursue any further westward direction from that date. " A harbour called the Assistant Harbour, dis covered by Captain Onlmanney, three miles south of Cape Martyrs, was the place i❑ selection by them to winter in. The bay ice was forming very strong at the time, yet the Advance and Rescue were deter mined to proceed homewards ; but unfortunately, however, a gale sprung up and drove them up Wel lington Channel, 50 miles, and afterwards they were frozen in. " I have not yet been enabled to get farther north wards than the Devil's Thumb; and the time being limited for my sojourn in that quarter, I cannot give you any more particulars excepting that the two American vessels and the Prince Albert were left by us near the Duck Islands, the wind being south west, and blowing strong at the time. _ _ " The American schooners have left some dis patches for the Admiralty at Sievely, which in due time I hope will be received. "At this date lam off Stolstinberg. The ice in my voyage northwards seemed to be very light, but I could not get through it in time. The American captain, De Haven, told me that the winter was very mild, and that he can give no further particulars re specting Sir John Franklin than the enclosed account. He said he was determined to go to the seat of search again, after having wintered ; and all the documents received from the Admiralty and others I gave to him. " I remain, my Lords, " Your Lordships' most obedient servant, " JOHN PARKER, Master. " P.S. Truelove, five whales-75 imperial tons. I intend proceeding westward from this date." [Memorandum from Captain Parker, of the Truelove.] (1.) " On the 26th of Auglist, 1850, traces were found to northward of Port Innis, Wellington Channel, con firming those previously found at Cape Riley by Captain Ommanney. These consisted of fragments of clothing, preserved meat tins, and scraps of papers, one of these bearing the name of M'Donald, medical officer of the expedition." (2.) " On the 27th Captaiu-Penny's parties reported graves. These were at once visited by Captain De Haven, Mr. Penny, and Dr. Kane. They bore re spectively the names of W. Braine, R.M., and John Hartnell, of the Erebus, and John Torrington, of the Terror, the date of the latest death being the 3d of April,lB46. " Added to these sad but unmistakable evidences were the remains of the observatory, carpenters' shop, and armourers' forge. Upon the hill side and beach were fragments of wood, metal, and clothing, with stacks of empty meat tins. Everythin g i n di ca t e d permanency an d organization. There can be no doubt that the cave between Cape riley and Beec.:hy Island, facing Lancaster Sound, was the first winter station of the missing vessels. 01 the Ist of September the impervious ice of the 11111ington Channel underwent a complete disrup tioi, and by the 6th several vessels penetrated to the Cornwallis side. Such, however, was the impenetrable character of the pack in Lancaster Sound, that by the 10th of September the entire searching squadron were again concentrated about eight miles south of Griffi ha Island. " was the furthest westing attained by the American expedition. The latest dates from Com modore Austin are of the 13th of September. They were thin in momentary expectation of making winter quarters, and it is probable that a small harbour dis covered by Captain Ornmanney about three miles east of Caps Martyrs will ba the haven selected. • " Thenm the American vessels, while proceeding homeward, were frozen in opposite Wellington Channel, drifting during the ensuing winter from a latitude of 75.25 throughout the channel aad sound into Baffin's Say. Their liberation, after much ex posure and trill, took place on the 10th of June, 1851, a point south of Cape Walsingham 65.30—a linear drift exceeding 1,050 miles. " The commotion of the ice with its attendant un certainty was their chief source of trial. Every officer and man lad marked scorbutic disease, but no deaths have occurred. The crews are now refreshed, and the expedition is endeavouring to regain the seat of search.—l have Sze., " E. K. KANE, Surgeon to the Expedition." SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
