LIFE BOAT SERVICES. —During the Storms of the past year the National Lifeboat Institution con tributed to the saving of 1,086 lives from various ship wrecks and 36 vessels from destruction. The Institution also expended £31,845 in the same period on its Lifeboat Establishments, in addition to granting £3,189 for rewards. The Committee of the institution earnestly appeal to the public for assistance to enable them to meet the continued heavy demands on their 187 Lifeboat Establishments. Contributions will bo thankfully received by the London end country bankers, and by the Secretary, Richard Lewis, Esq., at the Institution, 14, John-street, Adelphi, London. , • ao, 7 3:0 1;‘ N NW Stilt 4 le“"' LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 5, 1868. After a lengthened inquiry the jury at Abergele have unanimously returned a verdict of man slaughter against the two breaksmen, who were concerned in the shunting of the goods train at the Llauddulas Station ; at the same time they "strongly censure" the conduct of the Landdulas station master for gross dereliction of duty in the non• ob servance of a rule of the Company, which requires that " all goods trains must be shunted at stations or sideways at least ten minutes before a passenger train is due." They also record their opinion that the unfortunate persons met their death by suffo cation who were killed on the sad occasion, and tender their perfect sympathy with the relatives and friends of the sufferers by the " frightful catastrophe." We believe that this verdict will meet with the approval of the public, and satisfy the requirements of the case, so far as such investigation ever can. Unfortunately, the evil is irremediable, and it is impossible to do any thing in the sad business, but to take carp that such a mischance shall not occur again. Regret for the lost, and sympathy with the survivors who mourn their fate, are fully felt by all who know of the affair, but the active measures to bo taken refer to the safety of passengers in general, and the management of railways throughout the kingdom. The conclusion to which the jury have come is a perfectly just one, and their recommendations are also good, and should meet with attention from all those they refer to. They advise that a longer tune should be given to a " pick-up" train to go through the process of " shunting" trains for a passenger train to pass, especially on an incline like that at Llanddulas, and that during the process of shunting the points should be opened into a siding behind the break-van, thereby preventing runaway trucks from travelling down inclines or main lines. It will afford a feeling of general relief to find that the jury believe that the doors of the carriages were not locked on the platform side of the Irish down mail on the day in question ; but it is to be hoped the railway companies will conform to the gene rally expressed wish on this subject, and give orders that the custom of locking carriage doors be given up altogether. It is always desirable to avoid any thing which can under adverse circumstances con duce to serious evil, and it is well known that much mischief can ensue from this practice. While there was doubtless no greater act of carelessness com mitted by the breaksmen than often passes un noticed, it is most important that due notice be taken of it; but it would be well if the ser vants of the railway companies in general pro fited by the misfottune at Abergele by be coming more attentive in the performance of their task. The slightest inattention and indifference may cause death to many and diread misery far and wide, yet how seldom is this truth reg xrded as it should be. At least let us hope that we have not gone through this painful affair for nothing, and that the results of the inquiries and researches that have taken placc will be to inaugurate a better system altogether in respect to the Management of goods trains, and the too rapid succession of pas- senger Mr. REVEnDY JoHNsoN appears to be reaping golden opinions from all men at 4 Sheff►eld, and two addresses have been presented to him from the Mayor and Town Council, and from the Master Warden and others of the Company of Cutlers. To these the Minister returned appropriate answers, but they were read by Mr. ABBOTT, that being a more convenient arrangement. In the re ply to the Mayor, the American Minister alluded to the admirable manner in which his predecessor had conducted affairs under very difficult circumstances, and expressed an earnest desire to emulate him in his efforts to promote peace, and secure the good will from the people of this country which had at tended him in his efforts. The answer to the Cut lers' Company was much longer, and entered more fully into the position of affairs than the preceding one had done. The address had expressed a hope that peace might flourish between the two coun tries, and thus each might be enabled to fulfil its mission of extending civilization through the world. Mr. JOHNSON intimated his perfect concurrence with the sentiments expressed on the subject, and said that difference of opinion must exist between nations as well as between men, but the mode of settling them by the sword was unsuitable. Finally, nego tiations and the aid of an unprejudiced arbitrator can always be resorted to, and will generally be found efficacious without proceeding to more violent extremities. From all this he draws the satisfac tory conclusion that any awkwardness that may exist between the two countries can easily be put straight by the good sense and good feeling which prevail. National honour is well appreciated by the two countries, and neither England nor America would ask from each other to grant terms that were not consistent with dignity and high standing. Coming fresh from the country he repre sents, the American Minister can speak with confidence as to the many causes of sympathy which prevail to cement the bond of union between the Anglo-Saxon races that are divided by the Atlantic, and he enumerated many, from the character of our Sovereign to the works of our artiz ins, which are to be found in almost every American household. " Sheffield is as well known in New York and Baltimore as in London or Liverpool." Mr. ROEBUCK in his speech the night before last made some allusions to the state of things existing in the United States in consequence of the mixed population it received from other lands ; and Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON remarks upon this, and in some degree sought to qualify the strictures of his friend. Ile could not be altogether silent on the subject, be said, more especially as the hon. member was called upon to bear witness to the accuracy of his statements. In all places, London, Sheffield, and elsewhere, specimens of degraded humanity were to be found ; but, adds Mr. JOHNSON, " these do not affect injuriously the general cha racter of the people of the locality, but generally the result of ignorance is never ti model for virtue and intelligence." It may be said in regard to this matter that the United States have more than their share of individuals of " shady character," and it is a mistake to allow them so many opportunities of doing mischief. But the less restricted nature of the Constitution which gives them facilities is at the same time a better check upon them than any we could place upon them in this country, as where there are fewer ruled to observe there must be less chance of infringing them. Mr. JOHNSON concluded his ad mirable remarks by alluding to the spread of edu cation in America, and so happy are its results that not only in the large, cities but in the hamlets even, the best works of English literature are to be found, and are valued even as they are among ourselves. This expression of interest to all people from the representative of the United States Government cannot fail to be interesting, and indeed it points to results of the happiest kind. The arrival of the China from New York on the 27th bring us news of varied character. We do not hear much about the great election struggle, but there is a good deal respecting the disturbed con dition of the Southern States. Whether the Radicals have really tried to foster the angry feelings between blacks and whites, or whether the extreme partiality with which they have arranged the registration courts has irritated the white men, and rendered the negrocs presumptuous, is matter for conjecture. At any rate it is unfortu nately too certain that a very disturbed state of feeling exists Southwards, and that there is ground for some uneasiness respecting its manifestations. It has been suggested that the Radical party in the North are making the most of the reports which reach them from the Southern States, in order to obtain an excuse for restoring the supremacy of the sword, and thus retaining their political ascend ancy. It is believed in some quarters that the Ra dicals court an outbreak in the South before the elections, in order that the disturbed States may be put under martial law, when they will employ the soldiers to keep Democratic voters from the polls. But, supposing them to be guilty of such delibe rate wickedness, since something more than mere political ascendancy is involved, it is by no means certain in the present state of affairs that the soldiers would be so employed. The district com manders are no longer what they were—some of the more violent are altogether removed ; others are transferred to different departments; others, again, have learned wisdom from the signs of the times. A few would like to obtain notoriety by illegal oppression of the Souther❑ whites, and even if they were reckless on the mattter, they would be controlled by their superiors. Until the Presidential contest is over Mr. JOHNNON is the constitutional head of the army, and Mr. JOHNSON will tolerate nothing like armed oppression. Then, again, the Secretary of War is most . unlikely to permit a renewal of the arbitrary conduct which disgraced too many of the military commanders in the early days of military occupation of the South. The bias of Congress has been very strongly shown in their exclusion of three principal States of the South from the Electoral College, on the plea of their not being reconstructed according to the Con gressional mode ; but happily the House of Repre sentatives is no longer all-powerful. If THADDEUS STEVENS had lived to witness the assembly of an other House he might have seen also the marked decadence of that Radical majority which has worked so much miichief on the American conti- nent. It is reported that the Democrats in Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee are following the example of their rivals, and are forming secret armed asso ciations. If this is true, they are no doubt actuated by fear of the negroes, whose movements in some quarters have excited considerable uneasiness. In Louisiana, it is said, they are arming, while the ci LiZ ns of Charleston are so alarmed by the various threats that they have peti tioned the PRESIDENT to provide protection for the city, as the civil authorities they affirm are power less to preserve order. The PRESIDENT has just now no very easy task in answering the several appeals made to him, and in discerning the bona fide petitions of those who see no reason to appre hend social daii,vrs from the pretended fears of alarmists who want to make political capital out of a threatened disturbance. He has given orders for the forcible expulsion of liciF tile Indians from Kansas, a wise precaution in the present disturbed state of affairs. We must hope that a little increased vigilance on the part of the civil and military authorities will be all that is necessary to preserve Eublic order in the disturbed States. This is likely to be the case if the influence of designing agitators can be kept aloof, and if the moderation of feeling which now certainly predominates in the majority of the Northern States can have any effect upon the Radicals of the South. The summer months are not usually those in which the dangers of a seafaring life are much thought of by the dwellers on land, but neverthe less the catalogue of wrecks and disasters is never absolutely blank. This year, notwithstanding the exceptional fineness of the weather, our coasts have been visited by some tremendous gales, which have occasioned great loss of life. The fearful railway catastrophe in North Wales, which occurred almost simultaneously with the gale, diverted public attention from the loss of life which took place at sea, but nevertheless there was a long list of casualties of various degrees during the past month. It is fortunate that we have an institution whose officers are always on the watch to en courage bravery, and to give directions for cases of especial difficulty and urgency. The National Lifeboat Institution never relaxes i's • vigi lance, but through the varying seasons keeps a vigilant supervision over the whole of its elaborate establishments. On Thursday a meeting of the committee was held in the Adelphi, Sir E. PERROTT in the chair, when rewards, amounting to £l6O, were voted to the crews of the association's life boats for services rendered during the month of August. That these rewards were not given for mere empty displays is easily shown by a reference to the official report. The libeboat at Tenby was launched twice on the 22d ult., when the gale was high, and succeeded in rescuing the crews of five vessels. The Padstow lifeboat on the same day brought off the crew of a French smack which had struck on the Doomed Bar sand and became a total wreck. Several other lifeboats were busy during the same week, and rendered good service round the coast from Eastbourne to Great Yarmouth. But the rewards of the Society are not confined to its own employes. Wherever there is a case of gallant rescue from the sea its re cognition is prompt and certain. Thus at Thurs day's meeting the silver medal of the institution was voted to ROBERT ROE, Esq., of Lynmouth, North Devon, and ten guineas to some boatmen and others, who had assisted in saving some lives from the ship home, of Bristol, which was wrecked in Lynmouth Bay on 22d August. The payments required on the various lifeboat establishments amounted to more than £5OO ; but we are glad to find the committee see no reason to relax their efforts. No doubt the support which they have already received and the growing reputation of their fleet encourages them to rely with confidence on the liberality of the public. They have an advantage over many benevolent associations, since they can point to results definitely accomplished,which without their aid could not pos sibly have been achieved. If a sick man dies no one can positively affirm that he woull have re covered with better treatment, but if a shipwrecked mariner is rescued by a lifeboat when no other vessel could venture out, we may safely claim the life as saved by the agency of the institution. It must be a source of deep gratification to those kindly donors who gave the funds for special lifeboats when the boats they ',lave given prove the means of saving many lives. 'this honourable pleasure awaits, we hope, the generous givers of the Cromer and Cleethorpes lifeboats. The cost of the whole establishment at Cromer has been defrayed by Mr. B. CAB BELL, M.P., while the Cleethorpes boat was presented by the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows, and is named the Manchester Unity. The launch of this boat was the occasion of a grand demonstration, more than 50,000 persons being present. Notwithstanding the number of boats already afloat there arc still some vacancies on our coasts, and we are not surprised after the disaster of the 22d to find that the necessity of stationing a lifeboat at Lynmouth, North Devon, was seriously discussed at the meeting on Thursday. As a proof that the committee do not act lightly we may mention that they have sent down an officer to inspect the locality before deciding on the point. Should it be found desirable to establish a station we have no doubt some generous friends will come forward to assist the undertaking. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) WIRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. il(rnot Ott OWN CORRESPONDENT.) =`,,Ce PARIS, FRIDAY, Septenib - er 4. M. Emile de Girardin must give his friends great cause for anxiety. He has been the advocate of peace, and more recently the prophet and the apostle of war. lie has recently taken to advocating an immediate campaign with Prussia for the "natural frontier" of France, and has published maps and sensational articles to shew the danger to which France is exposed so long as the Rhine is not directly interposed between the two countries. But the vagaries of his eccentric pen have produced nothing so singular as the article which appeared in the Liberte of yesterday. M. Girardin grows more imprudent as he grows older ; but surely ho might have remembered the very recent warning of M. Rochefort and La Lanterne. He says the Emperor, albeit the best - intentioned man in the world, does not know what he is doing ! He smokes too much ; and "to smoke is to dream awake." It is not the Empe rcr's fault that France is not great ; he desires her great ness, but the stupefaction of tobacco will not permit it. The Emperor deserves all praise ; the blame rests only with France. He possesses sweetness and goodness in the highest degree ; "if he were not endowed with these qualities we should have despotism and a tyrant, whereas now we have only tyranny without a tyrant." The Emperor dreams of greatness, and because France appears great to him be persuades himself that she is great. But it is all a delusion, which is kept up by the intoxication of tobacco, " and the moment it is dissipated France will become wholly free." The entire article exceeds in disrespect the effusions of the Lanterne. No cause can benefit by such writings : measured by the narrowest rules of taste, it is unjus tifiable. The news from the Var is more favourable to AL Dufaure. His candidature is making unexpected progress. lam told that he will probably gain several votes from those electors who are neither Liberals nor bound by the will of the authorities. M. Phillis, another Opposition candidate, has not only given place to M. Dufaure, but works actively in his favour, I hope the Opposition may carry the election, for, apart from political differences, M. Dufaure is au ablo ma., and will be a good representa tive. At the recent diplomatic reception of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday, M. Baudrillart was congra tulated on a peaceful article from his pen, which appeared in the Constitutionnel in answer to the Opposition jour nals. As this article was immediately replied to, and nobody's opinion appears in the least changed one way or the other, its value is not evident. It is no index to the policy of the Government, for though M. Baudril lart has been congratulated for writing in favour of peace, M. de Cassagnac has been decorated for writing against it. The Pays and the Constitutionnel keep up the see-saw. The talk of a customs union between France and Bet gium has languished lately. It does not appear that the project is new, for there is every reason to believe that it was brought forward immediately after the battle of Sadowa, at a Council of Ministers. No prcgress was made, however ; and I do not think that the project is in any respect more promising now. The ingenuity of the authorities increases so rapidly, ana is becoming so painfully acute, that there is much reason to fear it will defeat its own purpose. Your readers will remember that the Pays recently published a revolu- tionary manifesto purporting to come from the Committee of Paris. The Pays added some very disrespectful cen sure on Queen Victoria for allowing the revolutionists to assemble in Leicester-square. This contemptible publica tion was not noticed by the authorities, but a poor tailor has been fined £2B and sentenced to two months' impri sonment for reading aloud the self-same manifesto in a wine-shop;? The restaurateurs of Paris have decided that the price of oysters shall not be altered this season. There is no hope yet for you on the other side of the Channel. It is difficult to learn the real state of Count Bismarck's health. The official reports assert that there is no ground for anxiety, but it is clear that the Premier is yet far from convalescence. The accident—a fall from his horse which he recently sustained, resulted in sharp pains throughout the muscular system. These have not yet been overcome ; and complete relaxation from business has once more been prescribed. All the letters which are addressed to the Premier remain unopened. He must thus be accumulating a pile similar to that which was always found on the table of Napoleon I. What a re-opening there will be when the Count is readmitted to business, provided always that he does not adopt Bona parte's expedient, and shuffle the mass of correspondence like a pack of cards, choosing half a dozen missives at ran dom and leaving the rest to fate. Relaxation was previously found the most difficult prescription for the Premier, and it is hardly likely that it will prove more agreeable just now. The activity of French preparations on the north-east frontier is not likely to result in a surprise to Prussia. Whether peace be intended or not, both parties are repre sented as being equally prepared for war. The country all around is one vast camp. Rhenish Prussia is covered with troops, and all the fortresses are ready, or are being made ready, for a state of siege. Luxemburg,, which would very probably serve as the focus of a campaign, is jealously guarded by the Prussians—at the distance pre scribed by the treaty of last year. At the first telegraphic signal from Berlin, 40,000 men, says one authority, would occupy the debateable ground, seize the city, and restore its fortifications. As to French preparations, they are matter of even greater notoriety. A correspondent of the Times, writing from Athens, fur nishes some interesting and important facts relative to the insurrection in Crete. The origin and motive power of the insurrection is undoubtedly the Russian policy of agitation. The struggle is hopeless, and has already brought great calamities upon the island. One half of Crete has been desolated, the Christian and Mussulman Greeks of the island have been thrown into a state of social anarchy and chronic hostility, and all respect for law and legitimate authority, whether moral or political, has been destroyed. The ambition of the Greeks has prompted a revolt which they must have known could not be successful, and their incapacity has left the Cretans to shift for themselves. All who desired peace and prosperity left the island. Since the commencement of the revolt 10,000 Greek Mussulmans and 50,000 Greek Christians have emigrated. Crete is thus half depopulated, and has besides sustained infinite injury to its material resources. 50,000 starving inhabitants now constitute the entire population. The Times correspondent classes this revolt, the agitation in Greece, and the miserable attempts at insurrection on the banks of the Danube in the same cate gory ; they are prompted by Russia and Greece with the object of breaking up the Ottoman Empire. There can be no doubt that the writer is correct in his conclusion that the result of this policy has been to diminish the influence of Greece. Agitation abroad, whilst affairs at home were in the most wretched condition, has reduced the country below any State in Europe except Spain. Mr. Murphy is determined to persevere with his little joke, and has issued his address as a candidate for the city of Manchester. In imitation of Mr. Johnston, of Belfast, the Protestant martyr dates his address from a prison. His politics are of the vaguest possible description, and, so far as we can understand them, consist in an inten tion to enforce "an open bible" by Act of Parliament. The most amusing part of the address is a denunciation of " mob law." This, from the inciter of the riots at Binning , ham, Ashton, and a dozen other places, is very suggestive of the Gracchi. Of course Mr. Murphy does not expect to write M.P. after his name. He simply wants an oppor tunity for making fresh disturbance and gaining fresh notoriety. In that view of the case his candidature may prove no joke. It is stated that the new editor of the Saturday Review is to be Mr. Philip Harwood. This gentleman is one of the many literary men who has done much work in his day, but without being known by name to the public. Many years ago, when Mr. W. J. Fox, the Unitarian preacher and M.P., was preaching to crowded congregations in Finsbury, Mr. Harwood was his assistant. When Mr. Cook undertook the editorship of the Morning Chronicle he associated Mr. Harwood with him, and the coadjutorship was renewed when the first-named gentleman became editor of the Saturday Review. The London correspondent of the Elgin Courant says : " When his chief conceived the idea of creating a paper which should be devoid of the news element, which is so costly, and to many so cumbrous a feature in an ordinary paper, Mr. Harwood accompanied him to the house in Southampton street, and he has ever since been as efficient a working editor as Mr. Cook was a scheming, devising editor." The ssme writer mentions a rumour to the effect that the \ Tarquis of Salisbury, " disgusted at the compulsory ostracism from the arena of debate in the House of Commons, had deter mined to console himself by taking the helm of the Saturday Review, unscrewing it and twisting a few scorpions around it, and belabouring the British public in that peculiarly acid style of his which used to act on Mr. Disraeli like vitriol on a bit of stone." It will be remem bered that the Marquis is brother-in-law to Mr. Beresford Hope, who is chief proprietor of the Review. A well-known but very dreary place of entertainment in London will shortly disappear. The contents of the Colosseum in Regent's Park have just been sold by auction.

At the:Manchester City Police-court, on Friday, Mr. W. Bennet, on behalf of Mr. Smith, of Chorlton-upon- Medlock, applied to Mr. Fowler for a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Charles Bradlaugh, otherwise "Icono clast," who had been announced to lecture in the Free trade Hall to-morrow (Sunday). Mr. Bennett stated that Mr. Smith had every reason to fear that a breach of the peace would take place, and asked Mr. Fowler to act as the magistrates had done in the case of Murphy, and issue a warrant. Mr. Fowler said the circumstances of the case at present, were very different from those in Murphy's case, and asked Mr. Bennet to look into the law on the subject, and renew the application. FATAL BLASTING EXPERIMENTS NEAR W/Gil N. An inquest has been held at Pemberton, near Wigan, n the body of Mr. Thomas Barrass, who for some years oast has been surveyor at the colleries of Messrs. Blundell and Sons, Pemberton. If is death occurred on Wednesday evening last, and resulted from injuries received by an ex plosion of dynamite, a new patent blasting powder. .A short time ago the deceased was agent for the sale of nitro glycerine, and the large quantity of that material which exploded at Newcastle a few months back was sent through his hands, and recently he has become interested iu the sale of dynamite, the principal ingredient in which is nitro-glycerine, the strength of which, however, is so much reduced that it cannot be exploded without violent concussion. The material, which has been invented by the celebrated chemist Nobel, possesses a power seven times greater than that of gunpowder, and it is used in a similar manner to blasting powder, with the difference thatit cannot be exploded by a spark, but requires the use of the percussion cap. A quantity of dynamite had been purchased by the Wigan Coal and Iron Company, and Mr. Betley, analy tical chemist to the company, had charge of the opera tions in which the powder was used. On the 10th of August Mr. Barrass, accompanied by two young men, named Marsden and Grimshaw, went to the com pany's works in Ince, to witness the removal of a large quantity of slag, supposed to weigh about forty tons, from the bottom of one of the iron furnaces. Twenty or thirty holes were drilled into the slag, and into one of these ten ounces of dynamite were placed and exploded, but without the desired result, so it was deter mined to recharge the same hole. Eight ounces had been placed in it, and Mr. Betley was using the rammer when the charge exploded with a loud report. Mr. Barrass was standing immediately over the hole, and a portion of the rammer, which had been splintered into several pieces, struck him on the right arm, while a large quantity of grit was blown into his eyes, so that he was for some days 3eprived of sight. Mr. Grimshaw was holding a bag con taining dynamite, and it was forced into the air and ignited without doing much damage. Grimshaw, as well as Mr. Betley, was slightly hurt, while Mr. Marsden escaped without any injury whatever. Medical assistance was promptly obtained for Mr. Barrass, and it was for some time hoped that he would recover, but eventually gangrene set in from the wound on the arm, and after an exhausting illness, borne with much fortitude, the sufferer expired on Wednesday evening. It is supposed that the heat of the slag caused by the pre vious shot, together with the concussion caused by the use of the rammer, exploded the dynamite, and experiments since made seem to justify this mode of accounting for the sad accident. The deceased was 42 years of age. THE TVEATH.ER TABLE.-THIS DAY. GREECE: ATHENS, Sept. 3. The Prince Royal was baptised to-day. He re ceived the name of Constantine.

Nelaton's appointment to the Senate it has been made a question whether he will relinquish his profession. Some of our contemporaries have quietly settled the point by observing that the sacri fice has ro Emperor's science are of a doubtful and unsatisfactory nature. P seen compliments required f from him hie is simply a mistake ; our comments on a recent occasion upon M. Nela ton's appointment retain their full sense and value. There is nothing whatever to lessen the gracious character of the Emperor's determination. No condition has been pressed upo n Nelatou, and he is perfectly free to act as he chooses. The profession in France has, therefore, every reason to be proud that this distinction has been con ferred in such circumstances upon one of its most worthy members. Indeed, the very manner in which M. Nelaton's nomination was made known to him shows beyond a doubt the absence of any such intention from the mind of the Emperor. Be fore the 15th of August it was a current belief with the public that M. Nelaton would be called to the Senate, but the celebrated surgeon himself had per sonally no assurance on which he might ground any such ambition. On August 14 he was in his con sultation room, when a courier arrived and handed a letter from the Prince Imperial. The young Prince had written to say that he knew his doctor had just been named a Senator, and that he was glad to be the first to announce the event. The delicacy of such a proceeding needs no comment. M. Ne laton being thus free to act as he desires, it is not probable that he will of his own accord relinquish his profession. There are several reasons why he should not. It would, in the first place, be a sort of avowal that there is some reason in the absurd prejudice which had until now precluded the active members of his profes sion from enjoying any elevated political posi tion. It would, in the next place, unnecessarily deprive the public and the profession of the assist ance which may be derived from his , long ex perience and recognised ability• There is one more reason which the new-fledged Senator would doubtless weigh well before arriving at any such determination. Since the death of Velpeau, Jo bert, Trousseau, Michon, and Payer, his practice has taken an unlimited extension, and is now worth, it is said, upwards of 500,000 francs a year— half a million of French money. Really it would be asking too much of the cele brated surgeon to abandon so rich a field, even if it be for the sake of enjoying the vaunt cum dignitate of a seat in the Imperial Senate. We may therefore safely assert that M. Nelaton has not, as it was wittily remarked by a French con temporary, thrown his bistoury into the Seine on his way to the Senate, but that he will yet con tinue to handle it, much to his own benefit as also to that of his patients,—Pie Lancet,_ METEOROLOGICAL RETORTS.

REMARKS. Barometrical readings are greater at all stations than they were yesterday morning, and pressures are generally high and uniform. Since labt evening a slight diminution has occurred in the S.W. of Ireland. Temperature has risen considerably in the N. of Scotland and on the W. coast of France. During 3 estcrday moderate south westerly winds were prevalent, and continue so on our W. coast., but they are very light in the S. of England. On the W. coast of France a moderate easterly breeze has set in. In the S. the weather is fine. Fog and mist are repor:ed from the Channel coast and the W. of The I dixr:a/ I ee'e , c underst mds that Vie canonry :n Chester Cathedral, vacant by the preferment of Dr. M`Neile to the deanery of Ripon, will be conferred upon the Rev. T. Espin, examining chaplain to the Bishop of Chester. Mr. Espin took a first-class at Oxford in 1846, was made fellow and tutor of Lincoln College, was Denyer theological prize essayist in 1852 and 1853, was appointed by his college to the rectory of Iladleigh, Essex, worth £458, and was appointed in 1853, Professor of Theology at Queen's College, Birmingham. The canonry is worth £5OO a year, besides a residence. The John Bull mentions that the Dean of Westminster preached at Limerick Cathedral on Sunday, the 30th ult., and that Mr. Walpole, who has been staying at Alde burgh, Suffolk, will attend the Church Congress at Dublin. The aged Bishop of Chichester has inhibited the Rev. J. Knapp from officiating in his diocese. Mr. Knapp some tune ago preached at the opening of a Baptist Chapel in Brighton. He did this in spite of the remonstrance of Archdeacon Jacob. (Mr. Knapp belongs to the diocese of Winchester,) The Archdeacon has since this written a strongly but kindly worded letter, in which he expresses his deep regret that Mr. Knapp should have increased the difficulties which now impede the exercise of ecclesiastical discipline, and asserts that this contumacy has increased the illness under which the Bishop of Winchester is labouring. The Church Congress threatens to be very dull this year. Lest it should be too lively the question of the Irish Church disestablishment is prohibited. The consequence is, that the Congress is left to discuss such well-worn subjects as lay agency, hindrances to missions, Sunday schools, synods, and the like. It would seem that all parties had agreed to be present, the Low Church party having repented of their first decision to absent themselves. Anapng those who will take part in the proceedings are Dean Goulburn, Sir Joseph Napier, Mr. Ryle, Mr. Beresford Hope, Lord Nelson, Mr. Erskine Clarke, and Mr. George Williams, the traveller in the Holy Land. Not very wisely, the period of the Congress has been extended. In the earlier years it was only three days ; last year, at Wolverhampton, it was extended to four; and this year it will be five. Dr. Armitage writes to the Athenceuni criticising the proposal which has been made to raise a fund of £20,000 for the publication of books in embosssed Roman charac ters. He says that the blind have not been educated to read these characters ; that the system has been tried in France and Belgium, and abandoned for an arbitrary dotted system ; and he mentions that a committee has been formed in London for the purpose of consulting with those moat interested in the matter—the blind themselves. Mr. Edward Spender writes a letter to the Daily New_ containing a brief account of a five weeks' tour in Norway; He places that country in the foremost rank as a holiday resort. One reason for this is that the land is not yet overrun by tourists. There is an absence of conven tionalism, very delightful to travellers tired of the kursaa and the table d'ltdle. The Norwegian tourist is in e and independent, choosing his own costume, his dinner-hour, and the length of his journey. Mr. Spender gives a description of the beauties of the scenery, and the fjords he considers without auy parallel. "In some you pass through a sea dotted with islands, in others through asuccession of lakes, in others you find yourself shut in between cliffs rising abruptly 2,000 feet, cliffs which are the outworks of snow-clad mountains. The great snow and ice fields of Norway are the source of innumerable waterfalls. These waterfalls are, next to the fjords, the most distinctive feature of the country. Com pared with them the most famous Swiss falls are utterly insignificant."

HE ACCIDENT TO THE HUSH MAIL I RAM. ABERGELF, Friday Evening. The inquirybefore the Coroner's jury was brought to a conclusion to-day. After an ably summing up by the Coroner's Assessor the court was cleared/ tud the jury were left to consider their verdict. ['hey consulted together for four hours, and then .maniniously returned the following special ver' diet : "We find a verdict of manslaughter' a gainst Richard Williams, the senior breaksman, and Roht. Jones, the junior breaksman, for the death of Chas. Cripps, Joseph Priestley Edwards, Edward Oaten, and 30 other persons unknown ; and we further find that some evidence has been given before us from which we are satisfied that Lord Farnham, Lady Farnham, Eliza Stafford, Mary Ann Kellett, Job° Harrison Aylmer, Rosanna Louisa Aylmer, Arthur Aylmer, Rosalie Franks, Mary Ann Roe, Boa' Walter Berwick, Miss Elizabeth Mary Berwick, Miss LOUiSA Synaes, Jane Ingram, Rev.

We cannot refrain froul strongly censuring the conduct of the Llanddulas stationmaster for gross dereliction of duty in Dow observance of a rule of the company (No. 6, Pag e 110) which requires that all goods trains must be shunted at stations on sideways at least ten minut es before a passenger train is due.' We regret to fir lu how carelessly several of the company's rules ar e enforced by those having the supervision of t b° working of the company. We recommend that 11 longer time should be given to a pick-up train' t° go through the process of shunting trains for a Pa s ' senger train to pass, especially on an incline lik• ° , chat at Llanddulas, and that during the process °' shunting the points should be opened into a siding , , behind the break-van, thereby preventing runa way trucks from travelling down inclines on main lio es. We are satisfied that the doors of the carriages Fete not locked on the platform side of the Irish down mail on the day in question.

He had also expre sseu be wish that the jury should, if consistent wi th t , to evidence, express an opinion, out of regard to th e feelings of the survivors, that the death s Wo o , caused by suffocation from the instantaneous ev lution of gases from the oil rather than froul4e slower and more terrible effects of fire. 1- Assessor had pointed out that the evidence of Alr' Dicken was only corroborated by two woule"' while it was more or less entirely contradicted by the evidence of six male passengers and others' Whey also endorsed the remarks of the Asiess ° , i r in respect to the Coroner, who had detertulat:"o to obtain legal assistance as soon as he saw Wd, difficulties with which the inquiry was surro unded.
