As however many of the voters in so largo a constituency were necessarily absent it is fit that, for their information, I should shortly state that those opinions comp Ise— Further Reform in Parliament by the abolition of the Property Qualification and removal of the Jewish Disabilities of Members; a more equal division of Electoral Districts ; Shortening the duration of Parliaments to three years ; Extension of ths Suffrage to resi dents paying rates ; and, to secUre Purity and Freedom of Election the Vote by Ballot. Reform in Church Government so as to gain to our Clergy and Established Church, of which I em an attached member, the re spect of all classes and communions, and this will involve such an appropriation of its revenues a , s will lead to the Entire Abolition of Church Rates. Legislative provision for the free Education of the humbler:and less fortunate classes of the community. Perfe& Freedom for all Creeds and Farms of Worship, but a dis continuance of the annual gra nt to Maynooth—the 'reasons upon which if was Originally founded having entirely ceased. Decided Opposition to the erroneous .policy of Protective Duties, and to every attempt to re-trnpose, in any form, a duty upon the importation of foreign corn. Amendment of the Law, so as to secure to all classes, at small 4 expense, and with little delay, its pure and sound administra tion in every department. Such careful econeny in the management of the Finances of the nation as shall diminish taxation, and at the same time maintain all the public Services in an efficient state. Upouthese im :ortant peintseas attached to the Liberal Party and a Constitutional Reformer, I submit my sentiments to the attention of the Electors. A competitor of Rank and Influence, professing somewhat similar opinions, has now opposed himself to me; reducing the contest to the question whether the borough shall be Indepen dently or Officially represented. Should the independent voters of the borough resolve to -return me as their Member it is in their power to do so, and they may rest satisfied that I will not betray their confidence or discredit their choice. .

In order to convince the public that this Company is not liable to the Joint Stock Companies Registration Act, and that, consequently, no deed is required, and no 'further liability can be incurred, the London Committee beg to state that they have obtained the OPINION of Sir FREDERIC TfIESIGER on the point, of which the 'following is a copy : "I am of opinion that the British Australian Gold Mining Com pany is exempt from the operation of the Joint Stock Companies Registration Act. This company was not established in any part of the United Kingdom in the sense of the Legislature, which sense ap pears to me to be clearly conveyed by the enactment that the Act is to apply to . every joint stock company established in Scotland, and having an office or placc'of business in any other part of the United Kingdom. From which expressions two things may be inferred : First, that the word ' established' is intended te point to the place where the company, was formed or founded; and, secondly, that but for this special provsion with respect to Scotland, merely having a S cott of business in the United Kingdom would not have brought a Scotch compNny within the operation of the Act. The company in questioa was formed or established at Sydney, and there is nothing in the Act which will make the formation of a branch or place of business here equivalent to establishments. • (Signed) " FREDERIC TIIESIGER.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effl: cacy of this medicine : "157,.New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1859. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the groat benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and REIRUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years sinoe I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th , se who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box,And before I had taken that quantity the pain hal eatirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Pratt, 229, Strand." _ _ For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica. Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neitber mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and far ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world. • Sold.by'Theinas Prout, 229, Strand, London; and all respectable Medicine Vendors. F'rice 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GU OT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe that "Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London," is impressed upon the Government Stain). A M. A few nights back, in health and spirits prime , I went to rest about my usual time, Nor did the clock a dozen minutes number, Before I sank into a peaceful slumber. s And while I thus reposed upon my bed, A sound of music floated round my head ; For, understand, although I was asleep, Some little consciousness I seemed to keep ; So, when I heard the music, soft and sweet, I knew the Christmas waits were in the street. I listened to their strains in various modes, , And f;ndly-thought of Pope's and Dryden's Odes, In which, by either poet,. we are told, Ot what the famed musicians did of old And while I heard the music of the waits, I pictured harpers at the castle gates, And many a fond romantic scene arose, - Till music steeped me in a deeper doze. A curious dream then came across my mind, Original and novel in its kind : Methought that RYAS! was desired to call On Father Christmas at his ancient hall; The object of the visit was not stated, And nothing in the least was intimated, Yet lIYASI, from his manner, seemed to guess . • Some special refrence with regard to dress, ‘n mind asan wl h tl e m a u p t p d a e h l i a t y ed , day. h s e tm rChristmas was a pile old baronial style ; mansion did it seem, ATI Preciselyhec c a noble abode English i makingan n f uC the F p l a t rI le t And much did it delight me in my dream. Thick one its lawn the holly bushes grew, The smiling mistletoe and myrtle, too, While verdant bays and laurel boughs were seen To vary pleasingly the winter green. lIYAM arrived precisely to his time, And found the "festive father" in his prime ; Ills eyes were bright, his cheeks were full of glow, Just as they were five hundred years ago. " Good morning, sir (said Christmas), how d'ye do " "Good morning, sir (said lIYAM), how are you ?" And thus the usual compliments were passed, Till business things were Introduced at last. " i sent for you (said Christmas), to enquire What stock you have of gentlemen's attire ? I'm rather anxious, Sir, for your reply, As Christmas time is now se very nigh, A few more days, and we shall find it here, With all its happiness and social cheer ; And I'm ambitious (said the good old sire) Of seeing all appear in good attire. A sumptuous feast is very well, I know, And glad I am my subjects find it so : I love the feast, the holly, and the log— Bat what are these without a change of tog ?' While we're attending to the inner man, We ought to mind the outward all wo can. And, therefore, Mr. HYANI, do I ask, How you, this season, have performed your task ? I scarcely have a doubt (continued ho), That what you've done will be approved by me ; But notwithstanding this, I wish to hear What you've performed in your extensive sphere ?" Here Christmas paused—nor need I tell you why, He merely paused, awaiting a reply. " Father (said EIYAM, with respectful bow), If I was ever honoured, it Is now; And I'm prepared, without one if or but,' To answer every question you have put. The preparations I have made (said lIYAM), Will satisfy the multitudes that try 'em. All kinds of Christmas dress—designed anew, At my Establishment are brought to view. I've winter wrappers, good in make and cloth, Fit to defy the winter's utmost wrath. Inch over-coats as those which I've in store id thing A.1,1.:1 which)), , , u vo t l ul t ,l e vde various roe s um t y k ni l s e s s o , vr Are better than were ever made before. I'ved HY dress : i r ss o( ( ts s ari a i And first-rate suits for youths and juveniles; An 1, At such a time of holidays as this That all my goods are s Id extremely low. Es'onomy has ever been my law, • And from this rule I never will withdraw." " Hear, hear (said Christmas, rising from his chair), That's famous, Mr. HYAM, I declare. I wish you much success, nor do I doubt That thousands will by you be well-rigg'd, out. • ra not unit to receminend your dress • To all my friends—l caul, in fact, do less. • I find that you adopt the very way To realise success—good day—good day." Here both shook hands, and bid a warm adieu, Well pleased, of course, wills such an interview. And finding matters come to this decision, I felt so happy that I lost my vision ; But, should I have another, you shall know it, For I'm a most communicative poet.

AT At the Manchester Borough Court, on Monday, the magistrates were called upon te investigate not fewer than three cases of this kind of violent personal attack and robbery. O n W e d nes d a y night, a man named Shore, a flymak er , w h o k eeps a provision shop in Hanover-street, Shute-hill, was re turning from a public-house in Oldham. road, where he had been at tending his club, and having occasion to stand for a brief space at the corner of Spear-street, he noticed a woman, three men, and two lads, in conversation. Almost immediately after, one of the men named Shackleton, went up to him, and seizing him by the throat with a powerful gripe, called to thereat to come on. They'did so, and shore wa s r o bbed of 30s. in gold, some copper money, and hi s watch. The vio lence used to his throat was very grea t, and he was some time before he recovered hi s speec h. He knew the woman , and on Friday, seei ng Shackleton going to her house, be gave information to th e p o li ce , w ho ap prehended both. They were rem an d e d till Saturday to allow a more complete investigation. William Copestick and Henry Thompson were charged with having been concerned in stealing 9/. from the person of Henry Compton, a young man, early on Saturday evening. The prosecutor had come from Glossop, and while passing along Bennett-street, Oldham-road, a fee male accosted him. He replied to her and passed on,but had advanced a very short distance before a man, whom he had not seen before, suddenly seized him by the throat, and a shawl was at the same time cast over his head. He was thrown down, and robbed of the amount named and a watch, the man still keeping hold of his throat, and so nearly suffocating him that he became insensible. When he came to Himself he called for assistance, but the shock to the nervous system and the violence had been so great that be wont into fits, and had to be taken to the iefirmary and attended to there. When recovered, information being communicated to the police, search was made, and the pris.oners were apprehended. They were. re manded till Friday, as the shawl which was thrown over Crompton's head was left behind, and it is ex pected that the owner will be found. On Saturday evening, e-baut a quarter to five o'clock, a young fac tory operative, named Hall, while passing al on g 13 eird•str,aet, Cherlton-upon-Medlock, on his way tome, ca:.oe up to a number of young men, some of whom he knew, and he had a few minutes' conversa tion. After he left two of the number, Bibby and Crawfield, followed him, the former to strangle him in the most approved garotte fashion, and the latter to rob him of 2a. 7d. They accomplished this before he got out of Baird-street, and in the presence of other parties, who did not assist him because the robber's had too strong a party. Both were subsequently ap prehended, and the charge being clearly proved against them, they were sent for trial at the assizes. THE ic ITY ELECTIONS. ST THOMAS'S DAY. BILLINGSGATE. This wardmote iirits held at the Hall of Fellowship, St. Mary-at-hill, Mr. Alderman Sidney, M.P. pre -1 idi n (Y. The election of the incpaest men being finished, The ALDERMAN made sogne remarks on the subject, stating that in bis opinion their duties were so light A that ho hoped by next St. homas's-day it would be done away with altogether. Hear, hear.) He felt assured that an important e h was about to occur in the city of London, an he hoped by this time next year many great and prabtical reforms would be worked out in their system. iThe corporation hal, without any outward aid or pressure, agreed to ex tend the suffrages of the citizens in three very im portant points. They had the privilege of laying certain fines on those who opened shops in the city of London, and werenot freemen ; by the new Bill this law would be completely abrogated. They had also the power of taxing all carts, &0., and this tax had produced them 6,0001. per annum. This tax would be annibi lated by the new Bill. They had also given power to all persons living in the City to send their children to the schools originally intended exclusively for the freemen. He felt confident that these changes would work beneficially to the interests of the citizens, and 'oe thought the Common Council of the city of Lon don (not only Billingsgate) were entitled to the thanks of the community at large.—(Hear.) The election of Common Councilmen was then pro ceeded with, and the names of Messrs. William Cur ling (Deputy), Benj min Bower, J. linill, James Roberts, R. l. Phillips, W. Williams,'W. Geotge Barnes, and J. Causton, were placed before the notice of the meeting. Mr. BOUSFIELD proposed Mr. George Graves, of Rood-lane, and Mr. STEVENSON seconded the nomi nation. Upon a show of hands there appeared to be a ma jority in favour of Mr. Graves over Mr. Curling, whereupon a poll was demanded f*Jr Mr. Curling, which takes place to-day, commencing at 10 and closing et 3. A. long irrelevant discussion ensued, and the ward mote was adjourned. _ BRIDGE WARD. This waramote was held in the vestry room of St. Magnus Church, London-bridge ; Sir Chapman Mar shall presided. Messrs. Thomas Pewtress, W. Knott, John Hill, Henry Matthew, James Low, Charles Whetham, and Joseph Arnold, the late Common Councilmen, offered themselves for re-election. Mr. Game retired, and for this vacancy two candidates appeared in Messrs. Johnson and Brown. Tho first seven gentlemen, with Mr. Brown, were elected by a show of hands, but a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Johnson, which will be taken to-morrow (this day). Bond, ThonOalein, -J:l3..se ilawkins El Mr. BROWNE proposed D iowse, and John Ir. Richard Rowe as a member of the Court of Common C ounce. Mr. Rown said he had on several. occasion at their wardmotes spoken of th e corporation of Loudon neither in terms o f p ra i se or admirati on , and the ex perience of the la s t y ear h a d not tendedh to change it opinion • and long before the subject was taken b the public journals he had spoken of them n i l) who believed themselves to be immaculate, ase a d thatßody their constitution was the perfection of and wisdom. They really, indeed, fanoied they could no wrong, and while they prided and plumed the: selves on their own self-sufficiency they were totally regardless of public opinio n , w hi c h l oo k e d upon them with ridicule and contempt, so much so that few persons would take up their freedom but brokers and others, who were positively compelled to do so before this supreme body would grant them licenses to pursue their honest calling. Nothing could ,how so much the character of any corporate body as an indisposition on the part of the public to become members. The corporation of London purported to represent the metropolis of the British empire, con taining 2i millions of inhabitants, with only 6,000 electors, being a decrease of 1,837 in the short space of seven years ; so that it did not admit to the fran chise on-twentieth part of its population. The incur. of the corporation for 1850 was 190,0001., exclusive of the Irish estates. The expence of the magistracy was 8,2311.; for the administration of justice, 9,0581. ; for the civil government of the city, 30,Q44/. ; for the magistracy of Southwark and the Borough Comp tor, 1,3571. • making together about 50,0001. But independently of these charges he found one charge among the items for a new entertaining robe for the Lord Mayor, 751.; gowns supplied for the use of the magistrates, 387/. ; uniforms and hats for the barge master and watermen, 212/. ; and uniforms for the trumpeters, 791. They might call this upholding the dignity of the city, but in all quarters it was spoken of with derision. The police magistrates did their duty at the metropolitan courts without any aldermen and in a far more satisfactory manner, for how could it be expected that gentlemen taken from a grocery or upholstery warehouse, from an auctioneer's\ office, or from any_ other professional or mercantile occupation, could suddenly acquire the duties of a magistrate by the accidental circumstance of becom ing an alderman ?—(Cheers.) He was aware that the clerk sat by to guide and direct both at the Guildhall and the Mansion-house. Then, what were those clerks and their assistants, to whom they gave about 2,000/. a year, but virtually the stipendiary magistrates of the city of London, and the 26 alder men but so many mouthpieces to those clerks ? (Leughter.) The sessions of the Old Bailey could not be opened but with the presence of two aldermen, while the judges opened the superior courts without iv such observance. After some observations re specting the proposed reform of the corporation of London, Mr. Rowe said he wished to ask a few questions about the Queen's late visit to the City, as he understood that 500 tickets had been issued for the use of the different wards on that occasion, and he was not aware of any firm that had been considered of sufficient eminence in that ward to be favoured with one, or any of the constituency sufficiently respectable to be entitled to this honour. Mr. DAMN (chairman of the Royal Entertainment Committee) said, the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill was passed as far as the Common Council were concerned, and he believed that it would be generally admitted that the present constitution was not now suited to the city of London. Residence at one time in the city was as common as it was now the excep tion, and therefore he believed that the requirement of a residence to give a qualification for the election of alderman, or any other civic officer, ought to be done away with. As regarded the tickets to the Royal entertainment, he thought that men who gave many months of their time to the public, and served them with zeal and fidelity, might be allowed to use this small amount of patronage, and that it might be enjoyed by their relatives and friends. The (Wier members having addressed the meeting, Sir G. C&RROLL put the question, and declared the election to have fallen upon Mr. Evans, Mr. Bond, Ur. Blades, Mr. Dakin, Mr. J. H. Elliott, and Mr. Rowe. A. poll was then demanded on the p;at of Mr. Towse, which will talia place this day. CHEAP.

Taylor, Mr. Richard Tress, and Mr. Anthony Clarke, ware elected Common Councilmen for the year ensuing. Mr. LAMazE wished to ask Mr. Taylor what had been done about Smithfield-market. Mr. TAYLOR replied, that after a determined strug gle with both Houses of Parliament they had at length been beaten. When the Government Bill was passed they had given the corporation six months to consider whether they would take charge of another market in the suburbs of London, and on that point they had not come to a conclusion. The question would remain in abeyance for two or three weeks be fore they would finally determine this queztion. CRIPYLEGATE WITHOUT. The annual wardmote was held at the Boye' School room, Red Cross-street; Mr. Thomas man of the ward, prodded. The following gentlemea nominated at the pre cincts were proposed :—Mr. R. Lambert Jones, Mr. G. Meadows, Mr. John Johnson, Mr. S. itQad, Mr. William King, Mr. Jobn Eyke, Mr. G. Cuthbert, and Mr. C. Watson (the last two were new candi dates, in the room of Mr. F. Sadler and Mr. T. Eldred, who have resigned). Mr. M. then proposed, and Mr. CHEW seconded, Mr. John Sewell., Several gentlemen having made allusions to the necessity of the adoption of the ballot, and observed that they wished to know the opinions of the candi dates on the subject, Mr. L. Jorms said, he had represented the ward 32 years, and that no question could have been more open than the ballot. It had been used when be was first in the Common Council, and had been continued within the last six years, but it had been found to work so badly that it was determined they should go to the poll.—(Hear.) The electors might depend en him that he would not vote for the ballot.—(" Bravo," and cheers.) Mr. MEADJWS remarked that he entirely con curred with the opinion of Mr. Jones, in reference to the ballot. Mr. JonNeoN remarked that if he thought the vote by ballot would do any good he would vote for it. Mr. S. READ was in favour of the ballot, as were Mr. Cuthbert, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Sewell. Mr. Km objected to giving a pledge.

At a wardmote of the Broad-street ward, held yesterday, Sir John Musgrove, the late Lord Mayor, who presided, gave an explanation of the imputations on his conduct during his mayoralty. After the general business was concluded, Mr. Deputy CORNEY addressed Sir John Musgrove, and said that his best friends were most anxious that some observations which.had been made at a Court of Aldermen should be explained by him, so as to give that satisfaction which the ward fully expected they would receive after any such explanations. He would advert in precise terms to what he considered the most pointed remark from Alderman Sidney, who said that of his own free will and private views he compromised the Corporation by an individual solicitation from some courtly lord in waiting, referring to the question of inviting her Mejesty. With regard to further things that had been said, he could say that cour tesy, after all, was but a speculative term—a man might be courteous and yet very distant; but he un derstood Alderman Copeland had written disclaiming the expressions attributed to him in the public re ports, He did not think, either, that these charges were of such great importance as the first, but he trusted the alderman would give some explanation, although it was a delicate subject. Sir J. MUSGROVE said that with reference to the statements made in the Court of Aldermen they were all ex parte statements. He knew the ward was very sensitive with regard to the character and integrity of their Alderman, and that induced him to give a full explanation of his conduct. He did not wish in so doing to revive any disausions. He could make all allowance fur any jealousy on account of unexpected honours, but should confine . himself to facts. He would first take the statement made by Alderman Sidney, which was certainly a very broad one. Al derman Sidney assumed a fact and then argued on the subject. His refutation to the charge would be that the assumption was wrong. He never invited her Majesty to the City at all; it would have been a piece of gross impertinence on hiS part. He never asked a courtly Lord in Waiting either to invite her Majesty. Sir John Musgrove then read the conclud ing part Of Alderman Sidney's speech in the Court of Aldermen on the 18th of November, and said that if he wanted a character he defied any man to give him a better than was contained in those words. He next referred to the circumstances connected with the visit to Paris. Nothing occurred with reference to that which ought to have made any disappointment. He considered the invitation perfectly a private one, and he did not even know at the time that any of the others were invited at all. He told them, when asked that he meant to go as a private individual. Alderman Wilson had said that he should move that the Lord Mayor go in state, and Alderman Sydney opposed it, and he himself had said that be did not intend to go in state, unless it was the desire of the corporation for him to do so, in which case he should sacrifice all personal feelings and do as. they required. It was wisdom not to havo.done so. As a reason for this assertion, he said that at first he always went about attended by three servants, and that on more then one occasion the people heal called out "aristocrat !" He spoke to the Prelet wh , a accompanied him about, it, and he advised him only to take two domestics. He then passed on to the charge made by Alderman Copeland, who accused him of a disregard of that courtesy which one gentleman should show to another. He put his whole characterr before the public. He had never been charged with discourtesy before. Sr,i John Musgrove entered into a detailed explanation of the complaints made by the alderman for not answer ing his . letter about the Paris invitation, and of the circumstances connected wittethe Exhibition, in whiob, he said, the corporation of Louden would not have been represented at all but for his. exertions, and read the thanks passed by the court for his services. He thought all these complaints might be called family quarrels. He had received the thanks of the Court of Aldermen on the 18th of November, evhich he read, and asked the ward whether they required more than that acknowledgment ? As regarded the point of courtesy, he should have, been thefirst to apologise if he th o u g ht he had been deficient in it. Alderman Copeland had said he was not easy of access. He then adverted to a circumstance mentioned in that gentleman's speech. Alderman Copelani, Sir Peter Laurie, and Alderman Humphery called on him, when sitting on an important case, and sent for him to know what was going to be done the next day. He told them he could not tell them until the morrow. , He did not say "call again to-morrow," but it was not his duty to divulge to one or two members beforehand what was to be told to the whole Court on the next day. The remaining things, he thought, were too peurile to notice. He might say be never did lose his bead, awl was then, as he was now, perfectly responsible for his actions. He had not made this refutation to the Court of Aldermen because some of his best friends told him it was not worth his while to do so. He had never shrunk, however, from making any statement of the facts. He had never compromised the ward by causing it to lose its dignity, and never would do so. He thought ho had upheld all the dignities of his office, and he might tell them of many a scene at the Mansion-house, the like of ,which was never before. He had sent out during his year of office 8,000 invitations. He had of these received 7,000 guests from the highest down to the industrious classes from Scotland and Ireland, and on one occasion he had received 700 foreigners. lie hoped he had explained all things to their satisfac tion'. He thought he stood as high not only in his own ward, but in the Court of Aldermen, as he did before ; and with regard to his private friends, he might state, without showing the letters he had re ceived from them, that they were of a most congra• tulatory character. / Mr. ARRITIAMS said teat the explanation they had heard was complete and setisfactery, and he thought it redounded much to the Alderman's credit. The explanation was as much as they could wish, and more than they required. He concluded by moving a resolution regarding the explanation in conformity with his speech. • This was seconded by Mr. BANNISTER, and uaani mously carried. CANDLE WICK. This wardmote Was held for the first time in the vestry-room of St. Clement's Church, Clement-lane (the old place of meeting City improvements) ; being pulled down for the Sir George Carroll presiding.

ROTHERHAM, MONDAT EVENING.—Up to the time of the telegraphic dispatch, yesterday, 49 bodies had been taken out of the pit, and it was thought that two or three others yet remained there. The search has been continued with the greatest care, and only one oCher body, that of Thomas Sylvester, the fire-trier, has since been found. The body of Sylvester was blown to pieces, and the fragments scattered about the pit. One of the men had a most singular escape. After the explosion he made his way for the bottom of the shaft, and, in a desperate effort to escape from the after-damp, by which he was then almost over come, climbed by the conductors several yards up the shaft to a small recess in the wall. He was then so much exhausted, and suffered so much from the after-damp, that it was only by placing his mouth to a crevice in the wall, through which the water oozed, that he was kept alive. IL had not been many mi nutes in this position before the rope and " chair" were lowered from the top of the shaft. This he seized, and was one of the first that were drawn up. In my yesterday's dispatch I informed you that ten of the bodies were so dreadfully mutilated that they had not then been identified. Tc•day the anxious relatives and friends of the parties have been engaged in examining the mutilated remains, and the names of the whole of the sufferers are now known. In some cases, the only means by which the bodies could be identified were the buttons on the clothes. In one case, the clothes and body were so much burnt that the identity was only established by the buckle of a leather belt worn round the waist. There were one or two inaccuracies in the names furnished yesterday ; appended is a complete list:— LIST OF THE KILLED. J. Purseglove, 41, Rawmarsh ; J. Purseglove, 14, and 11.
