IFE BOAT SERVICES.—During the Storms of ..1-41 the past year the National Lifeboat Institution con ributed 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 or 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 be thankfully received by the London and country bankers, and by the Secretary, Richard Lewis, Esq., at the Institution, 14, John-street, Adelphi, London. (01 . ; : gg, S LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1868. The sad accident at,Abergele continues to occupy attention, and to form the chief topic of conversa tion in all circles. Many lessons of the uncertainty of life, and the chances and changes of this mortal scene, may be learned from this sudden and striking calamity. On Sunday the Rev. Dr. TAYLOR, of Liverpool, preached in the church which contains the bodies a sermon most appropriate to the Oen sion. He took for his text the solemn words "Be ye also ready, for in such au hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." Of course, no better proof of the shortness and uncertainty of life could be given than was afforded by the awful spectacle of the bodies on waiting interment, but the eloquent language of the preacher was most impressive. This morning the sad ceremony was to take place, and the grave will contain the remains of those who were stricken down so suddenly, and shared the same frightful end together. The idea that sug gested itself to the rector, the Rev. J. MEREDITH, that they should be placed in one sepulchre, was a natural one, and it h well that it has been adopted, as it is the best thing to do under the circum stances of the case. A curious sight is that which the quiet precincts cf Abergele and its vicinity now present. They are crowded to excesa, and around the grave may be seen those of all conditions, for the most part strangers to each other, but united by a common interest in the dreadful scene before them, and the sad fate that has overtaken the de parted. Truth, it has been well said, i, stranger than fiction, and imagination could invent nothing so impressive, or fancy depict a more solemn scene than that which takes place in the distant scene of the accident. Thirty-three men, women, and children are to lie side by side, with no dis tinction of rank, and with nothing to distinguish the coffins that enclose them. It has truly been said— "Earth's highest title ends in here he lies, And dust to dust concludes her noblest song ;" But how seldom is this fully realized amid the cir cumstances that separate the various classes of so ciety, and seem to overstep the confines of the grave itself. Ilere, at least, is an exception to the rule, and as these unfortunate victims of the acci dent were suddenly called to their account at the same moment, they are fittingly placed together in that bourne from whence no traveller returns. The inquest was opened yesterday at twelve o'clock, and at first the proceedings took place in the hotel, but it was found necessary to adjourn to the Town-hall. Lord FARNHAM, and two other brothers of the late lord, with numerous friends and relatives of the deceased, appeared to watch the pro ceedings, and solicitors and others on behalf of the railway company and those interested in the affair were also present. In each case the description of the dead was that of the " body of a person un known." The Coroner, in an impressive address, declared that no jury had ever had to enter on a more " melancholy inquiry." He also added very truly that the interest of the public made their task one of great importance. The ceremony of inspecting the bodies was so painful that almost every one gave it up except the jury before the dis mal round had been got through. Some dissatisfaction was expressed at the notion of putting off the in terment until after Thursday, and a meeting of the relatives of the departed took place to protest against it. Their desire that the funeral should be performed to-day was ultimately agreed to, and this is better in every respect, as it could only be very painful to delay it longer, besides answering no definite end. Seldom, if ever, have survivors been called upon to perform the office of burying their dead under more heartrending circumstances than the mourners at the grave to-day, but they may feel assured that the sympathy of the whole country will be theirs. The attention of the public has been so completely engrossed during the last few days by the terrible disaster in North Wales that comparatively little notice has been taken of the gale which has been raging above us, even in our sheltered cities, giving warning of the mischief being wrought at sea ; yet the accounts which reach us from the coast are full of interest, telling of hairbreadth escapes and daring adventures ; telling, too, unfortunately, of many a mournful tragedy. At Tenby the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was launched twice on Saturday, and fortunately succeeded in saving the lives of 22 men. The crew of a brigantine, which was lying in a very dangerous position close to Monkstone, were rescued by it, as well as other distressed seamen. At Liverpool the storm was tremendous, and the whole of the sur rounding neighbourhood was swept by the pie. All along the coast, from Bootle to Formby, the beach is strewn with wrecks of all kinds. Unfor tunately there has been more serious loss than that of property, for two terrible shipwrecks occurred, one accompanied with the loss of twenty-three , lives, and another the amount of whose loss is not known, and possibly never may be, since it is feared that all hands mast have perished. The first wreck was that of the ship Tara, 1,017 tons, Captain ARMSTRONG. This vessel only sailed from the Mersey on Saturday afternoon, a fact which makes her loss the more melancholy. It was a great pity for any ship to have left port in such a gale as was raging over Liverpool on Saturday, as it is stated that it was the most severe storm that had swept over the neighbourhood since the wreck of the Royal Charter. It is said, however, that at the time the Tara sailed the weather was compara tively fine, and it was only towards night that the gale reached such exceptional violence. The vessel was carried on to Formby Spit, a dangerous bank, where she became a total wreck, and twenty-three persons, as we have said, were drowned. Strange to say, the commander, Captain ARMsTRONG, was the only one saved, having bee❑ picked up by a steamer, after being a long while in the water. The other total wreck was that of a large vessel, name unknown, which went down during the height of the storm off the Formby lightship, and all that remained of her was a few loose spars. Other ships ran great risks, but these were the two great catastrophes of Liverpool. From Portland comes similar intelligence. A large brig was seen labouring UD the Chan nel about 4 p.m., and soon after pa ss i ng the Bill of Portland all control over her seemed to be lest, and in a few motnents she sank with all hands. All round the coast the lifeboats have been busy, and have happily been instrumental, in many cases, in saving life and property. Although Saturday's gale was excep tionally violent, we cannot regard it at this season THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1868. of the year as the precursor of many tempests, and those who are anxious to mitigate the risks and losses entailed by them upon the seafaring community will do well to strengthen in every possible manner the hands of that admirable in stitution, whose fleet, like the stormy Petrel, is always busiest in the worst weather. We learn from Paris that the Minister of Finance has addressed a report to the EMPEROR respecting the " rinal results of the subscription to the new loan." It appears that the calculations he made in his first report have been not only confirmed, but actually surpassed. This is certainly encouraging, and will put a stop to the rumours about the credit of the French Government being on the decline and war. The total amount that has been subscribed represents a capital of more than fifteen mil liards. Various arrangements have been made in order to render the task of liquidation more expeditious. The Minister concludes his statement by reminding the EMPEROR that the re sults of this trial do not prove the resources of the country to be inexhaustible, but they show their "immense expansiveness;" and adds, that all good citizens should recognise in this state of affairs the most " effectual means of guaranteeing the main tenance of peace, and of rendering it a source of prosperity." Certainly no invidious commentator of events can undo the favourable impression that has been made by the financial report just delivered, and additional importance is attached to it by the time at which it appears. For some months past doubts and fears have prevailed as to the aspect of affairs between France and Prussia, and wars and rumours of wars were constantly coming before us. Happily, for the present, we may dismiss such unpleasant notices from our minds, and rest assured that so far as can be judged at present the peace of Europe will not be disturbed by any sinister influence of a hostile nature, a conjunction of affairs that would be greatly to be deplored after the many evils from which we have suffered of late, and the depression that has everywhere prevailed. Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts made by the Allies in South America to put the most favour able construction on the news from the seat of war, it is quite evident that their forces have made no real progress in the subjugation of Paraguay. The Nacion Argentina, one of the chief journals on the River Plate, after giving an account of the recent movements, declares that the fighting at the Chaco, considered as a military operation, must not be considered a catastrophe. " What makes this fight disastrous and painful are the in dividual losses we suffer. Even consider ing this reconnaissance as a defeat, we must remember that the fortunes of war are variable, and that nobody has ever gained victories alone in the different emergencies inseparable to wars." 'I his language, of itself, is sufficient to prove that in the Argentine Confederation the news from the seat of war is not thought to be favourable. It is affirmed that the attack of the Paraguayans upon the two Brazilian iron clads resulted in the total de struction of the Paraguayan canoes and crews ; but this we must receive with reserve, since it is part of the Brazilian programme to make everything appear in the worst possible colours for their adversaries. The Argentine jour nal we have quoted from is virtuously indignant with those " who are bound always to exaggerate our defeats, underrate our victories, and exalt those of the enemy;" but in point of fact this is the very course which has been from the outset alopted by the Allies themselves. We know that in the Ar gentine Republic disaffection is increasing, while at Monte Video the financial crisis still continues. The Italian Bank opened its offices on the 25th of June, but was compelled to shut them again. Such a state of affairs is not likely to propitiate the tax payers, and the war of aggression against Paraguay is beginning to be felt as a heavy and unnecessary burden. Of the Paraguayans themselves we can get little direct intelligence. The news which we receive in Europe comes for the most part through their enemies, and, therefore, we must always make liberal allowance for the colouring of circum. stances. But facts speak for themselves, and in spite of all the boasting of the Allies, month after mouth slips by and Paraguay is still unsubdued. If half the statements received from Brazil were true, the war should have been long since over. As it is, we may hope that the aggressors will get wearied out, and be forced to withdraw from the fruitless and dis creditable struggle. A letter from Rieti, in the Umbrian Gazette, states that the authorities of that place are about to proceed against Cardinal Reissac, appointed to the bishopric of Sabine, in the room of cardinal d'Audrea, deceased. The reason is that the new prelate has taken possession of his see without first applying for the exequatur of the Italian Govern ment. Information has been received from Lucerne that there is no truth in the story which appeared in the Gazette de France respecting a Fenian attempt against the Queen. The lunatic Wood, whose ec centricities seem to have given rise to the report, has been sent to England by the Berne Legation at his own request. His insanity had nothing to do with Fenianism. NORTH WOOLWICH GARDENS. -- Threatening clouds throughout the afternoon and evening not withstanding, the large attendance yesterday, the first day of the festival performances for Mr. Charles Morton's benefit, evinced his popularity as a manager, and the ex ceptionally attractive character of the thousand and one entertainments provided. These formed such an exhaus tive and varied list, that we can barely do more than re gister the fact of their performance and their success. The chief elements of amusement presented by the bene ficiare consisted, in the first place, of a grand sentimental and comic concert, in which, out of a brilliant array of professionals, Miss Rivers, Mr. Green, Mr. W. Hamilton, Mr. Husk, Mr. Robert Frazer, Mr. M‘Liaffie, Mr. Orville Parker, Mr. Vance, and Miss Annie Adams took part. To this succeeded "Oceans, the Child of the Air," on the invisible wire; R. W. Julian's " Photographs of Living Artists ;" The Brothers Gerard in their aerial performance ; and the veteran but juvenescent Charles Slornan in his improvisatorial enter tainment. The next divisions of the amusements com prised Herr Carlo's allegorical ballot d'Action "Le Damon in Pat adis ;" a successful balloon ascent by Mr. Youen in "The Queen," and the ascent of Farini, " the Champion of Niagara," with his son, on the Niagara wire, 500 feet long, and 50 feet from the ground. The prime novelty of the evening, however, was the performance of the "Beggar's Opera" in the theatre, and for which new scenery, dresses, and appointments were provided. Much interest and curiosity were excited with regard to this per formance, as Miss Fitzhenry was to, essay the character of the rakish and musical Captain Maeheath fot the first time. Her impressive stage rendering and striking musi cal interpretation of the part of Azucena in "11 Trova tore," at Drury-lane Theatre, showed :hat this lady pos sessed qualifications for the operatic stage, as well as for the concert room, but the faith entertained by the most sanguine of her admirers as to the versatility of her musi cal and histrionic talent was more than justified by her assumption of the volatile hero of Gay's opera. Whether in its musical or dramatic treatment, the character, in her hands, is ono which would cause no little amount of interest on the metropolitan boards, and Miss Fitzhenry's friends can safely urge her to make musical drama the future field of her successes. Miss Fitzhonry gave all the delicious songs scattered through the operetta with charming effect and naivete, and looked and acted like the most loveable of captains. She was ably supported by Miss Clara St. Casse, who made the plumpest and prettiest of Pollys, and sang with true feeling ; and the rest of the characters were competently filled, - 111 rs. Barrett, at a few hours' notice, undertaking, and well undertaking, the part of Mrs. Peachom, owing to the sudden indisposition of Mrs. Caul field. Illuminations and pyrotechnic displays wound up the amusements. The festival will be continued this afternoon and evening. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, August 25.

PARIS, MO:sIDAT, August 24. i• M. Magne has publi s h e d i n th e M on i teur a second report to the Emperor, stating the final result of the subscription for the new haat. The total sum differs from that pre viously announced by five millions of francs (£200,000). The total sum of money received in the Imperial Treasury in' the shape of deposits is, in round numbers, 665,600,000 f., oi £ 26 ,6'24,000. The total amount subscribed represents a 'capital of 15 milliards of francs, and the number of sub scrThers is 832,725. The subscriptions of five francs rente each reach a sum which is represented by the interest on 3,360,000 f. (£134,400). The ratio of allotment is to be 2f. 37c. for every hundred francs in rente applied for. The Minister of Finance, of course, winds up his report with congratulation at such a result. It is certainly some thing to boast of, notwithstanding the many consideration) such as speculation, applying for more than the applicant hoped to be granted, and employing agents to ensure the irreducible subscriptions by personal attendance, all of which go to reduce the sum really subscribed and the num ber of genuine subscribers. Making due allowance for all these considerations, a sum still remains which must be much larger than the amount required. The subscription proves, at least, that nothing can overcome the industry of the French peasant, and nothing shake his confidence in Rentes as an investment. The French peasant will save, in spite of every obstacle, poverty, anarchy, conscription, or famine, and he will prefer Rentes as the most eligible mode of securing a return for his savings. There seems to be no doubt that the election for the .Tura department has caused a great impression at head quarters, and that the mismanagement and imprudence of the prefect will result in his removal. Those who are entrusted with the important task of furnishing the Government with supporters in the Corps L6gislatif must ensure success. Failure in such a matter is fatal to Impe rial favour. The Government will take no account of good intentions ; the prefects must send up the right kind of men. Very difficult is this task often found. The chosen representative must possess some status and popu larity, or the result of the Jura election is inevitable. The electors will not vote for anybody. The choice of an ineligible candidate for the Jura department was very largely the cause of the success of the Opposition candi date and of the fall of the prefect. But though the Government candidate must possess some qualification to ensure the defeat of the Opposition, he must not be too clever. Too much talent on the Ministerial benches is found troublesome. , A pacific manifestation on the occasion of the Emperor's Fete is reported from Marseilles. The Prefect went to the Place Castellane to " assist " in the display of fireworks, when he was greeted by " Vac la Paix!" from a very largo crowd. Men and women alike took part in the cry, but beyond the fact that the crowd was large and the shouting loud, nothing of moment occurred. The resignation by the Duke of Magenta of his appoint ment as Governor-General of Algeria is again spoken of. The marshal alleges that he has need of rest. The return of such a distinguished general is said to afford much satis faction to the war party. A strange event is reported from Aix. A man who was bitten by a wolf in the environs of Mallemort, returned to his family at Aix to recover from the wound. Three days afterwards he died in great agony, having: exhibited all the symptoms of hydrophobia. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY.

Pensarn, the little watering-place in which the Abergele station is situate, and this little town itself, which is three-quarters of a mile distant from ' the station, are fuller than ever they have been in any period of their history ; but the great majority of the visitors have come in the discharge of an office the most melancholy that the mind can ima gine. Persons of all the various conditions in life, most of them hitherto strangers to each other, have come to assemble round one vast grave, in which thirty-three dead men, women, and children are to be placed side by side without any distinction of rank, without any difference in the coffins that en close them. Further attempts at identification of the remains have been abandoned in despair ; and as the dead now lying in one of the aisles of Aber gele church met their death at the same instant, and within the narrow boundaries of four carriages closely coupled together, their sorrowing relatives have approved the idea of the Rev. James Mere dith, the rector, that they should lie together in one commo❑ sepulchre. Yesterday the Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Liverpool, preached in the church where the bodies await in terment a sermon appropriate to the dreadful event. He took for his text the passage from St. Matthew, " Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." The rev. gentleman was eloquent, but there was an appeal from each of those coffins in the aisle which no lan guage could equal. From an early hour this morn ing grave-diggers have been employed in opening the grave, and the funerals will be solemnized to morrow morning. This town and Pansaen are so full that many of therelatives of the dead have been obliged to be put up at. Chester and Rhyl. This morning Mr. K. G. Salter, solicitor, and llr Roe reached here to make inquiries respecting the fate of Mr. Lovatt Farrell, of the Grange, Elles mere. This gentleman left Ellesmere and rode to Wrexham, where he took train to Cuester. He has been traced to that town. Two waiters state that they saw him there, and the booking-clerks at the rail. way station say they remember a gentleman answer ing the description given of Mr. Farrell making minute inquiries about the fares by the Irish mail. He had left his home with the intention of proceed ing to Dublin, telling Mrs. Farrell that he would write to her from that city. No letters have been received, nor has anything been heard of him since he left Chester. One of the keys picked up on the line opens a lock in a small box which Mr. Farrell left behind him at his residence. AMERICA. (Arrival of the City of Baltimore via Queenstown.)

It is reported that the negroes in the interior of South Carolina are incensed at the action of Go vernor Scott in vetoing certain Radical members of the Legislature. They are said to be arming, and to threaten violence against the Conservative whites and negroes. The funeral service was performed over the body of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens at Washington yester day. The body was taken to Lancaster, in Penn sylvania, for interment. Encke's comet was visible from Washington Ob servatory last night.

The Inman Royal Mail steamer City of Balti more arrived at Queenstown from New York at 7 a.m. to-day, with £5,000 in specie. Having landed mails and passengers she proceeded for L'verpool. All well. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. PLYMOUTH, Aug. 25. The Neva's dates are from Panama and Colon, August sth ; Jamaica, Bth ; and St. Thomas, August 13. In the States of Central America business of all kinds is reported dull. The alarm caused in Guatemala by rumours according to which yellow fever had broken out in the:capital and in some of the towns of the interior has abated, the report being contradicted on reli able authority. The rainy season had begun in Nicaragua, and the grain crops, which were suffering from drought, had much improved. Yellow fever had notably decreased at Rivas. Some opposition was being shown to the late decree of the Government of Costa Rica abolishing the duty on all coffee imported from the Repub lie. News from Chili states that Valparaiso had been visited with torrents of rain. A tremendous fire had occurred at Santiago. An Italian bark from Buenos Ayres, bound for Valparaiso, had been totally lost off the port of Albemarle. The crew were saved, and taken on board ship to Monte Video. The British bark Inez from Caldera, with a cargo of regulus for England, sprung a leak, and was obliged to put back. At Callao yellow fever had entirely disappeared, ported and e m d a i a l s le ft w rapidly as diminishing at the anniversary Lima. w as Th al e so da r y e of the Declaration of Independence of the Peruvian Republic. Congress was to meet on that day. Shortly afterwards ;the proclamation of Colonel Balta, who had been elected President by a large majority, was to come off. Reports from Jamaica state that a Lift Dock Company had been established. The negroes in the parishes of St. Thomas in the East and at Portland had again become de fiant in their behaviour towards the planters in consequence of sentiments uttered from the bench by Mr. Justice Masheder, the new district judge, who said the planters were thieves, and robbed the labourers. SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 25. The Royal Mail Steampacket Company's ship has arrived in d N o e c v k a, at fr t o h n i i s p tb o e rt. West Indies, &c., FIANCE. The marriage of the Duke of Alencon, son of the Duke of Nemours, with the Princess Sophia of Bavaria, sister to the Empress of Austria, will be celebrated on the 14th of September, at the Castle of Posenhoffen. It is said that the Emperor of Austria will assist at the ceremony. The citadel of Wurzburg is to be definitively razed. The Journal de la Savoie gives the following details of a new disaster which has occurred on the Mont Cenis route, from the overflowing of the river Arc :—" Several bridges have been carried away ; the rails and road between Saint Jean and Saint Michael have been destroyed along a space of 1,400 metres. At two kilo metres and a half above the last-named place a breach has been made of at least two hundred metres, the river having flowed even upon the line. Some way further on, the magnificent stone-bridge of the Adenise has been swept away. It cost 500,000 francs, and was quite new, having -been finished only a few months back ;. both the high road and the railway ran across it on the same level. Between Fresney and Modane, the route has been completely broken up by the torrents. Above the last-named place the two bridges over the stream which flows into the Arc are entirely brok en down. Finally, at Sol lieres the road is destroyed along a distance of 400 metres. All the masonry on which it rested will have to be rebuilt. In consequence of these mis haps the Mount Cenis Railway will be compelled to suspend its service for a certain length of time. So far we probably have been made ac quainted with only a portion of the ravages and losses which are to be deplored. No information has hitherto reached Chainbery as to what has occurred in the upper part of the valley between Saint-Michel and Moiane, as the telegraphic wires have met the same fate as the road and the railway. An ocular witaess has told us that above Saint-Jean the impetuous waters of the Arc were seen to carry down in confusion animals, trees, and debris of all sorts."

Atmospherical pressures are considerably greater at all stations than they were yesterday : the increase in Scotland has been upwards of three-tenths of an inch, but in the west and south-west the change has been somewhat less. The highest readings are in the south-west and the lowest In the north of Scotland. The difference between those at Brest and Nairn more than half an inch. Temperature is slightly less in the north. Fresh north-westerly winds blew yesterday in the N. and N.W. of our islands, increasing to a force 8 at Green castle : this morning moderate westerly and north-westerly winds prevail. At Cape Gris Nez a bighwind from the westward is reported The weather is generally cloudy. An approaching change in the general policy of Spain has long been spoken of. The Independence Beige announces that these rumours are assuming consistency, and that special information which it has received tends to confirm them. .mew Ministry is to be the head and front of the change, and it is to consist of the Moderate party. The names mentioned, however, are not very reassuring, and the Indepeqdance Beige thinks that public opinion will not be satisfied with such a change. Such a Cabinet might recall the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier, proclaim a complete amnesty, render the elections free and unbiassed, and give freedom to the press, without producing any good effect. The malady has gone too far for ordinary remedies. Even the partisans of the Crown are speaking of the abdication of the Que( n in favour of her son, but this will not satisfy the Belgian paper. It believes the dynasty to be doomed. The gatlier'ng at Rapperswyl, in Switzerland, to inaugurate a monument commemorative of the Polish struggle for indeFendence was not large. There were about two hundre I Polish emigrants present, and there was also the same number of sympathisers from other countries, but chiefly Swiss. Great efforts were made to secure a good attendance of visitors, but it was hardly to be expected that many would come a long distance for such a hopeless purpose. Inaugurating a monument to preserve the memory of a lost nation is but a gloomy ceremony ; besides, the various Governments of Germany interfered, and in some measure prevented many Germans or Hungarians from attending. The inaugural address was delivered by Count Plater, the most distinguished among the Polish emigrants in Switzerland. The monument itself consists of a column of black marble, surmounted by the white eagle of Poland. The four sides contain a melancholy catalogue of nine abortive attempts at independence, and the inscription—" The immortal genius of Poland, unsub dued after a struggle of a hundred years, on free Helvetian soil, appeals to the justice of God and man." It is a mournful and touching appeal. But why signalise the funeral of a nation by this Column of black marble, if, as the patriots say, the cause of Poland is not yet lost ? Society in St. Petersburg has been " occupied' for some time past by a scandal, in which no les 3 a personage than Prince Gortschakoff figures prominently. A Madame Akimfjew was the wife of a young lieutenant who had been expelled from his regiment for his profligate and dis reputable conduct. Madame Akimfjew attracted the attention of Prince Gortschakoff, to whom she is in some manner related, and the belief gained currency that as soon as a divorce could be arranged to separate the prcfrga‘e lieutenant, and his wife, the latter would become Princess Gortschakoff. Years, however, elapsed, and no judgment as to the divorce was pronounced, the delay being accredited to the Emperor himself. It ap t ,ears, however, that Madame Akimfjew entertained aspirations which soared even abo:e the great Russian diplomatist. She sought to become the wife of no other than the nephew of the Czar, the Duke of Leuch tenlerg, and in spite of the extreme opposition of the Emperor, both parties were secretly married by P. Rus sian pr'est at some unknown place, perhaps out of Russia. Of course the marriage is invalid, the divorce not being pronounced, and the profligate lieutenant still being the husband of the lady. It was through the influence of Prince Gortschakoff that the lady obtained her passport, and it is thought that Minister's complicity in this bigamy will affect his position. IntelliLYence from the Russian frontier announce - 3 that the Russian expeditionary force met with great losses before the conclusion of the negotiations with the Eulir of Bokhara. The Russian garrison in the citadel of Saar cand had detached four companies of infantry with two guns to attack the Bokharian cavalry, which surrounded the fortress and kept up a guerilla war in the neighbour hood. This small Russian force fell into an ambuscade, and was almost destroyed. The Bokharians were greatly encouraged by this success. They attacked the citadel with 10,000 men, and the place appears to have been in some peril, It was, however, saved after a defence of eight days by General Kauffman. By the treaty which has been concluded the Emir I,inclertak.pto to Rumia the El= d M300,40‘). - mon THE INQUEST. To-day, at 12 o'clock, the inquest was opened by Dr. Evan Pierce, the coroner of this division of Denbighshire. The proceedings were commenced in a large room of the Bell Hotel, but it having been found too small for the accommodation of all the parties in attendance, there was an adjourn ment to the Town-hall. For the London and North-Western Company there were present Mr. Roberts, of the solicitor's office, Euston Station ; Mr. Mason, the assistant manager of the company ; Mr. Binger, manager of the Chester and Holyhead portion of the line ; Mr. Lee, and other officials. Colonel Rich, one of the Government Inspectors of Rail ways, was also present. Mr. Edwards Ward, solicitor, of Birmingham, appeared for the relatives of William Smith, the guard, and Joseph Holmes, the stoker. Mr. R. D. Kane, solicitor, of Dublin, appeared for the relatives of Mr. Whitmore Scovell and Miss Scovell. Lord Farnham, the Hon. Richard Somerset Max well, and the Hon. William Maxwell, brothers of the late lord, watched the proceedings. Numerous other relatives and friends, whose names did not transpire, were also present. A jury of 18 having been called, the coroner asked each of them singly whether he had any shares or otherwise in the London and North- Western Railway Company. All replied in the negative. He then proceeded to swear them as a jury on each one of the 33 cases in respect of which the surgeons have reported. The cases were called by number, and in each the description was " the body of a person unknown." Mr. A. F. Watts, chairman of the town commissioners of Pensarn, was sworn as foreman. The Coroner, when he had duly formed his jury, addressed them in respect of the very solemn nature of the inquiry on which they were about to enter. He did not believe that any jury had ever had to enter on a more melancholy inquiry. In the interest of the public it was an extremely important one, and the public expected that the jury would do their duty. He might observe that his duty was one which they owed to their Maker as well as to their country. He need not say that they would have to inquire into circumstances the details of which could not be otherwise than most agonising to the relatives of the 33 human beings whose bodies were lying in the church. On Friday he bad been strongly urged to proceed at once with the inquest ; but he had made up his mind not to do so. There had been then not only no identifi cation, but there was no evidence to show the sex or age of any person whose remai ns were among the dead. He was at that time told that he might proceed on the assumption that the body near which Lord Farnham's watch was found was that of Lord Farnham ; but facts bad since transpired which showed that such an assumption would not have been at all warranted in a legal proceeding such as an inquest was. In fact, for all the evidence to the contrary, the jury might have been holding an in quest on the remains of some lower animal instead of those of a human being. He had determined that there should be a surgical examination of the re mains, and on Friday afternoon he entrusted to three medical gentlemen the duty of making that exami nation. They had done so to his satisfaction, and he now held that report; in their investigation it was discovered that these were the remains of 33 persons, though previously it had been supposed that there were only 23. He had made up his mind to go to the root of the whole matter, and in doing so he should avail himself of the inquiries which the Go vernment Inspector would feel it his duty to make, and of the observations of that gentleman. He would therefore adjourn after taking some formal evidence. As to the mode of conducting the in quiry, he proposed that in the first instance he should ask all the questions he should think neces sary. The professional gentlemen might then fol low in their examinations of the witnesses; and, finally, the jury might put any questions they thought proper, or ask explanations on points which they did not think sufficiently clear. The Coroner and jury then proceeded in a body to the church of St. Michael, in which the bodies were lying. The coffins were all removed from the church and spread in a double line on the grass and among the tombs. The peasantry surrounded the cemetery, and stared with amazement and horror as coffin after coffin was brought out and laid on the grass. In a few minutes the full number had been ranged in a double line, all, with two or three exceptions, covered in black cloth. The ex ceptions were, I presume, caused by the fact that all the coffin cloth in the Chester district had run out owing to the unlooked-for demand for it. All the coffins were uncovered when all had been placed. The remains were found to be decently imbedded in white wool, and covered with it also. The con trast between the snowy appearance of the wool and the charcoal appearance of the remains seemed to have a startling effect on all beholders ; and the inspection proved to be so painful that almost every one but the members of the jury gave it up before all the remains had been viewed. The coroner and jury subsequently reassembled in the Town-hall. Whcn the jury had reassembled the proceedings were extraordinary even for a coroner's inquest in Wales. They so annoyed the relatives of the killed that these gentlemen assembled in the, hotel, and, with Lord Farnham in the chair, protested against a delay of interment till after Thursday, which had been suggested by the coroner, and Lord Farnham and other relatives returned to the Town-hall and reported to the coroner the unanimous desire that the interment should be at ten o'clock to-morrow. 'Phis was agreed to. The relatives of Cripps, the footman, swore to his remains from a peculiarity in his chin. Lord Farnham, Sir Henry Edwardes, and all other rela tives present expressed their opinion that identi fication was impossible. After much vacillation and' irregularity the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday. The funerals will be to-morrow. The scene of the accident is to be inspected to morrow by the jury. The coroner first proposed adjournment for a month, next for a fortnight, then to Thursday, then to Wednesday week, and ulti mately to Wednesday next. Lord Farnham and all the other relatives protested against a distant adjournment. Much dissatisfaction is felt at the coroner's proceedings. Caroline Sternee is among the dead. The names of 32 of the dead are now known. f, " - • // v b TUntt HER MAJESTY. PENSION WALLIS, LUCERNE, August 22. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, and attended by the Marchioness of Ely, Sir Wm. Jenner, and Major-General Sir Thomas Biddulph, has left Lucerne for the Furka, near the St. Gothard Pass, where her Majesty will remain for two or three days. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(This Day). (Before Mr. Sergeant (;OX). COUNTRY THIEVES ON A VISIT TO LONDON. Henry Benson, Mary Benson, John Henry Wat son, and Margaret Watson, were indicted for stealing two walking-sticks, the property of Ed ward Bax, two bottles of scent, the property of Eugene Rimmell, four boxes of cigars, the pro perty of Alexander Archer, and three oil paintings, the property of Robert Dodson. The prisoners, who were all very fashionably attired, pleaded guilty to the whole of the four charges. The learned Judge asked how the robberies were committed, as he had not read the depositions. Mr. Besley said the art displayed on the occasion was very great, and altogether the system pursued entirely exceeded that of the usual London thieves. One of the Inspectors of the F division of police was present, and he would give an account of the prisoners. Inspector Brannan said, from inquiries he had made, he found that the prisoners left Manchester about a month ago, it having become too hot for them. It appeared that they then commenced their system of plundering the shopkeepers of London, which they had succeeded in doing with more than ordinary success. Their system was most perfect, and he had never known the art of secreting so cleverly applied. The women each wore a large white linen bag, made to fit around her as a petticoat into which property of all de scriptions was readily concealed. The tradesmen visited on the day the prisoners were apprehenled were those mentioned in the indictment, all of whom carried on business in the Strand. Having stolen the umbrelles from Mr. Bax, they then ap pearel desirous of a little perfume, and visited Mr. Rimmell's establishment, and whilst the two men succeeded in fixing the attention of those in the shop the " ladies" helped themselves to what they wanted off the counter, which was quickly slipped into their capacious pockets. After this they felt desirous of patronising the fine arts, and accordingly visited the shop of Mr. Dodson, and there inspected a variety of prints and oil paint ings, but nothing appeared to hit their fancy, and they accordingly left the place. The next shop visited was Mr. Archer's, all four of the prisoners entering at one time. Whilst the male pri soners were praising the quality of the small articles they had purchased, the ladies, it appeared. helped themselves to a quantity of the goods dis played on the counter. When they were taken into custody three large oil paintings, one measur ing 24in. by 18in., and three 11b. boxes of cigars were found in the pocket-petticoat of the woman Benson, and in that worn by Watson a quantity of perfumery which had been stolen from Mr. Rimtnell. The petticoats in each in' stance were so admirably constructed that not ' withstanding their capacity and miscellaneous con tents they appeared to be nothing but ordinary crinolines, formerly so fashionable. All these robberies were effected in one day. On ano ther occasion the prisoner Benson took 3 fancy to a bonnet in Regent -street. They all went into the shop of Mr. Clements to pur chase the fascinating article, which having been done they quitted the place, Watson having con trived to " pocket," or rather " sack," a roll of silk value £3O. (Laughter.) The learned Judge said it appeared to him that the whole of the party were systematic thieves and plunderers by profession. He was informed that none of them had been known to have been before convicted, but he thought the result of light punishments for first offences, such as that to which they had all pleaded guilty, only resulted in the thieves leaving prison more hardened than ever. He thought the best thing to do was to pass a severe sentence at once which would remove them for some time from their companions. Acting there fore on that he should sentence each o f the male prisoners to five years penal servitude, and th° women to two years imprisonment with bar d labour. The Haws Agency communicates the text of the final protocol for the distribution of the Pontifical Public Debt, in execution of the Convention of the 7th December, 1866. The document is conformable in every point to the summary of it already give ° by the Italian journals. Italy and France treat the question directly between themselves, and the Papal Government remains completely apart from th e arrangement which has been concluded; it will con' tiuue to pay the interest of its debt, and by th e instrumentality of France will receive for that pur pose the portion of the obligation assumed by th e Florence Government.
