The wheat trade continues without much animation, and from the country the quotations were 2s lower on the week. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was small, and the demand generally quiet. English wheat in only light supply, but demand also being slow the sales were at is to 2s under those of Mon day last. Foreign wheat was not in large supply, nor even pressed, but in what were done prices ruled the turn in favour of buyers. Flour met a dull sale, and barely supported late rates. Barley of all kinds was dull of sale, and easier in prices. Beans moved off in retail without material change. IPeas in limited supply, with a dull demand. Oats, which were very plentiful, ruled Gd under last Monday for Russian ; other sorts unchanged. Seeds quiet at late quotations. CATTLE. The number of cattle at market was 4,310, including 59 from Scotland, 65 from Ireland, and 1,889 from various parts of England. There was a brisk sale, and rates ad- Tanced, especially for the primest qualities. The supply of sheep and lambs was 20,850, and for both stiffer rates were paid, sales progressing briskly. Of calves 75 came to hand, 65 being foreign, and all cleared off readily at advanced rates. Pork active and dearer. GO pigs at market. Quotations—Beef, 3s Gd to 5s Gd; mutton, 3s Gd to 5s ld; veal, 3s Gd to 5s 8d ; pork, 3s 4d to 4s 10d ; lamb, 4s .o 5s Gd per stone of Blbs sinking the offal. NENVGATE AND LEADENHALL. Meat—Supply short. Demand for beef and mutton brisk, and higher prices. Beef, prime, 4s 8d to 5s ; mid ling, 4s to 4s 4d; coarse, 3s 8d to 3s 10d ; mutton, prime, 4s 8d to 5s ; middling, 4s 2d to 4s 4d ; inferior, 3s 8d to 4s ; real, nominal, 4s to 4s 8d; pork, 4s 4d to 5s ; lamb dearer, 4s 4d to 4s Bd. lops—Messrs. Turnbull and Co. state that the planta tion accounts received this morning from Kent and Sussex are most disastrous from the heavy gale of Saturday last ; nevertheless, the market rules quiet for all sorts, the new hops that have arrived here being com paratively neglected. TALLOW. The market is quiet at Saturday's quotations. Y. 0. on the spot—old, 44s to 44s 3d ; new, 44s 9d ; last three months, 44s 9d to 45s ; December, 45s to 45s 3d.

LIVERPOOL, Aus. 24.—Sales probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales. Market steady. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—At the last meeting of the Council of this institution the resignation by Mr. John Flint South of the office of Examiner was received and accepted. This gentleman, who has twice filled the high office of President, was elected a member of the Council as long ago as 1841, and of the Court of Exa miners in 1849. The vacancy will not be filled up until the expiration of the vacation, when the choice of the Council will in all probability fall on Professor Busk, F.R.S., the next senior member of the Council. THE IRISH CHURCH COMMISSION.—We are in formed that the report of the Church Commission will be published within a fortnight. The voluminous schedules are not yet quite ready. A Commissioner attends each day at the Irish-office to revise them. ANOTHER ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM THE COUNTY GAOL.—On Saturday morning, a prisoner, who was awaiting his trial, from Rochdale, on the charge of housebreaking, escaped from the County Gao], Strange ways, by passing out with some workmen who had been engaged on the building. This is the second escape that has occurred during the last fortnight from the County Gaol. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT A THEATRE.---0n Saturday evening tho St. James's Theatre was the scene of a most extraordinary spectacle—one certainly not paid for by the audience. The " Groat Mexican Tragedian," it appears, did not "draw," and the "little people," taking alarm at the idea of not getting their money, would not work. The performances were stopped shortly after nine, the hissing at the "Great Tragedian" being "frightful,'' and the gallery portion of the audience at once proceeded to tear up the seats, in which they ware stopped by Mr. Roo and others of the einploy6s. The house was cleared before ten, and the audience saw only the "Great Mexi can Tragedian" to the second act of "Richard the Third.' —Observer. As Rear-Admiral Buckle was nominated to the naval command at Cork with the distinct understanding that he should resign the appointment on his attaining the age fixed for the retirement of officers of his rank, he will, as a matter of course, haul down his flag towards the close of the year, and it is confidently rumoured that ho will bo succeeded by Rear-Admiral F. Warden, C.B. There is thus a prospect at last, however slight, of a move on the captains' list, as the promotion of the. Director of Tran sports is, at all events, certain before the year runs out, if it does nut occur owing to other circumstances in the meanwhile.—Army and Navy Gazette.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. B 0 W-STREET. THE LIVERPOOL SUMMER Cu.—Joseph Smith again surrendered to a charge of stealing various letters containing orders for the payment of certain sums of money, prizes won by the " Lucky Bag" in the "Liverpool Cup Spec.", It will be recollected that the prisoner resided with his father, a newsvendor, in Graystoke-place, Shoe-lane, and the prosecutor was Mr. F. Farrah, newspaper publisher, 282, Strand. The prosecutor was the proprietor of the " Lucky Bag," and on the occa sion of the race for the Liverpool Cup a " spec" was arranged, and books containing some thousands of tickets were sent round to different parts of the kingdom to the agents appointed fur the disposal of them. After the races Mr. Farrah usually re ceived a great many tickets from persona who had won certain sums of money, which was remitted or paid personally to those entitled to receive it. On the 22d of July the prisoner presented a ticket or order (4,946) fur the payment of 545. to the priso ner, but for certain reasons the prosecutor refused to pay it. It was afterwards discovered that the ticket had been posted from Sheffield, but that by some means at present unknown it came into the posses sion of the prisoner. The evidence on the last occa sion was completed as to the ticket 4,946, and to day evidence was offered with respect to ticket No. 2,232. Mr. Thomas Onion said he resided at 36, Hors ley-fields, Wolverhampton, and recollected posting a letter himself, directed to Mr. Farrah, which con tained the ticket No. 2,232, with a request that he would return him tickets to the amount of 10s., the value he was entitled to receive according to the conditions of the " Liverpool Summer Cup Spec." By Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner —He sent the letter from Wolverhampton in the usual way. He directed it and posted it himself. Mr. Willis Clare, from the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, said he produced four post office orders purporting to be signed by Mr. Farrar, one was from Dudley for £1 195., another from Seaham, dated April 27, for £1 10s., another was from Burslem, April 27, for £2, and one from Ipswich, June 15, for £2. Three of them appear to have been paid regularly in the Strand, and one through the Union Bank. Mr. Farrah was recalled, and said the whole of the four signatures to the orders were forgeries. ihree of the letters ought to have come to him on the 28th of April, and the other June 16. He had compared the writing with that of the prisoner on one of the tickets presented by him, and it cor responded exactly. His mode of getting cash for post-office orders he received was to make a list of the whole he received on a certain day, and send that into the post-office is the Strand, where he used to get a cheque for the gross amount. He never sent a post-office order singly for cash. Mr. Flower wished to klow how that circum stance was to be made evidence in the present case? Mr. llyett said it showed that the prisoner had received the letters in an irregular way, as they ought to have come to Mr. Fatrah in the usual manner. The prosecutor said the circumstance that enabled him to identify the handwriting of the prisoner on the post-office orders was in comparing it with that on the yellow ticket which the prisoner admitted to be his, Mr. Farrah was again recalled, and said he did not offer an opposition to the discharge of Henry Broad on the former occasion, because he hoped that from him he should be able to learn bow the letters were got possession of. He received an enormous number of letters, and Broad was the only person who had access to them. He wished to discover whether the letters containing them were stolen from his place, or from the Post office. every possible attention. She produced two red handkerchiefs. Mr. Bension—Why do you proluce those? The Complainant,--They were white before I wiped the:blood off my face. I bled profnsely from the nose and mouth and my side was injured. The prisoner, in defence, said that the complain ant was exactly in the same condition and bleeding from the nose and mouth when he met her, and that she robbed another man of ss. Benjamin Bryant, No. 121 K, said that he found the young woman bleeding very much, and the prisoner near her. The people about the parties said the prisoner had kicked and beaten the female. Mr. Benson did not believe what the prisoner said. He remanded him. THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON 711 E LONDON AND NOI?7H-WESTERN. Up to the present time the names of 28 of the persons who perished have been ascertained, though the railway officials at Chester think that only from 23 to 25 passengers joined the train there. On Friday evening it was reported to Mr. Binger, the general manager of the Chester and Holyhead line, that Miss Roe, of Dublin, was amongst the killed ; but yesterday news was received here that, happily, that lady reached her home in safety. The follow ing list of the killed is taken from the last return made to Mr. Binger : Lord Farnham, Lady Farnham ; Eliza Strafford, their housekeeper; Edward Outen, his Lordship's valet ; Mary Ann Kellet, her Ladyship's maid.; and Charles Cripps, his Lordship's footman.

Mr. Whitmore Scovell, of Windsor Cottages, Croydon, and Miss Catherine Scovell, of Wycroft, near Bray. Joseph Holmes, stoker. Sir Nicholas Chbinery, Lady Chinnery, and Mr Chinnery. Mrs. Adkins and Miss Adkins, of Kidderminster, (Thirty-one in all.) The bodies are to be buried here on Tuesday. There can be little doubt that adJitional names will be discovered to-day or to-morrow, an], as already stated, there is reason to fear that the mortality is not confined to even so large a num ber as 33. Some small degree of melancholy com fort may arise to the bereaved from the belief that the death of their relatives was instantaneous. This is the opinion of the medical men who were on the spot soon after the occurrence; and the fact that not a single shout or scream was heard from any of the blazing carriages would seem to be strongly in support of that opinion. DUBLIN, Aug. 22. CARDIGANSHIRE.—As we predicted a few weeks ago, Mr. Evan M. Richards, of Swansea, has deter mined to come out in the Liberal interest in oppo sition to Mr. Edmund Vaughan, the Conservative candidate. He will have the support of the leading Liberals, and of the whole party. CIIELSEA.—The following requisition, addressed to Mr. George Odger, a working min, received up to Saturday close upon 1,000 signatures of electors and claimants for the franchise in the borough of Chelsea:—" We, the undersigned, desirous of seeing a working man returned to Parliament for Chelsea, and believing you to be possessed of talents and ability which qualify you for that important position ; and that you will, if elected, maintain the great principles of equal rights and liberties for all, request you to come forward as a candidate for the representation of the borough of Chelsea, in which case we pledge our selves to employ every honourable means to secure your return." A crowded meeting was held on Sa turday night at the Laurie Arms, Hammersmith, for the purpose of forming a branch of the Work ing Men's Electoral Association for the Hammer smith district, whose object will be to assist lodgers in placing their names on the register. Mr. Nieass took the chair, and the meeting was addressed by Messers. Mudge, Bickley, Harry, Winter, &c. ; and it was stated that in that district alone some thou sands of votes could be got for Mr. Odger, the working man's candidate. The new branch was opened, and a resolution passed in support of the candidature of Messrs. Dilke and Odger. DEVON (SOUTH) —on Friday afternoon Viscount Amberley addressed a crowded meeting at the New Hall, Tavistock, and afterwards a resolution in his favour was passed. HACKNEY.—A crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held last night at Peel Grove Hall, Bethnal green, for the purpose of hearing Lieut.-Colonel Dickson express his political opinions as candi date for the working men's suffrages. Mr. Edmond Beales, at considerable personal incon venience, having come from Cambridge pur posely to be present, was unanimously voted to the chair. He spoke at considerable length upon the services that Colonel Dickson had rendered the League. After Colonel Dickson had addressed the meeting, Mr. Markham moved—" That in the opinion of this meeting Colonel Dickson is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in the House of Commons." Mr. Bush seconded this motion, which was carried. Mr. Hayes moved " That this meeting pledges itself to use its utmost endeavours to secure the gallant colonel's return." An amend ment was moved to this by Mr. Webster, but the original resolution was carried by acclamation. HARWICH.—An influential deputation of the electors of Harwich waited upon Mr. C. H. Tur ner, the late chairman, and the present vice-chair man, of the Great Eastern Railway Company, to invite that gentleman to allow himself to be put in nomination on the Liberal interest at the next election. Mr. Turner, whilst carefully guarding himself from holding out hopes to the deputation, thanked them, and, through them, the Liberal elec tors of Harwich, most heartily for the honour they had done him, requesting a short time to con sider his reply, and promising that he would answer the deputation in writing at the earliest possible moment. In his reply Mr. Turner says :—" Most of you are doubtless aware that when I was called upon by the board of directors of the Great Eas tern Railway Company to preside as chairman of the board I felt and publicly expressed my conviction that it was the duty of myself and colleagues to inaugurate a new policy in the interests of the company. That policy, which I strongly insisted upon, in clu led as one of its moat important principles the renunciation on the part of the directors of any local influence which their pcsition on the board might give them, more especially any of a political character. Now alchoagh I fully believe that, in con sequence of the action then taken and since extended under the presidency of my noble successor, the present chairman, the company's affairs are being retrieved, yet I do not think the time has arrived when I could consistently allow myself to be no minated a candi late for an important borough, forming one principal terminus of the Great Eastern system. I feel that were I to do so I might lay myself open to the charge that I had broken my own rule for my own personal advantage. On these grounds, and these alone, gentlemen, I feel I must decline your invitation." The Derby Meeting will b 3 hold on Tuesday and Wed-. nesday, and although the first day comes into collision with the last thy at Scarborough, Mr. Brad&ld's gathering will be well attended, as Derby is a favourite place wah the "upper ten." Twelve horses have been left in in the Tradesmen's Plato (li miles), and Wild Briar and Annourer, the former of whom ran fast in the Ebor Handi cap, should hit the wiunin; mark. The Drakelow Stakes (I furlongs) I award to Pantaloon or Parma; the Chatsworth Stakes (11 miles) to Python or 31.1oonbeam; and the Chesterfield Stakes (6 furlongs) to Miss Foote or Amadou. Fur Wednesday three races have closed. To the Beaufort Cup (6 furlongs) there are fifteen subscriptions, and Leonie, although she has the comparatively heavy im post of Bst 121 b, will win, if she can beat Kettleholler. In the Nursery Plate (4 furlongs) seventeen horses stave been handicapped, and the pick of these are Rosecleer, 7e 41b; Saga; Get 121 b ; the colt by Dundee out of Black bird, Get 12lb; and Fenian, Est 101 b. The Blackbird colt,- if sent to Derby, will be successful; but in his absence Fenian or Rosecleer may win. The Rawdon Handicap (one mile) has twenty-one nominations, but although Victress and Adamanthea are well in, I prefer the Duke of Hamilton's pair, Clemenzo and Contempt. The Lichfield Meeting, on Thursday and Friday, will be strongly patronised by the Hodnesford trainers, and, considering the vast quantity of racing there is nowadays, Mr. Slaeldon has issued an average programme, which in cludes fourteen races. The acceptances for the Stafford shire Stakes (lf miles) aro not due till Tuesday, but; as the weights now stand, Success and Fidelia read best in, and I like the chance of the first named most. In the Cham pagne Stakes (four.furlongs) ten two-year olds have been nominated, and Lady Lavender, who is entitled to an al lowance of 31b, has only Lady of Croomo to beat to win. Fur the Tamworth Plato (six furlongs), Saunders's repre= sentativo, St. Valentine or Beaudesert, has nothing to fear, neither has Wallow's Purina or Catt na in the Flying Stakes (four furlongs). The Gold Cup (1 mile) has at tracted twenty-four nominations, and the weights range from Acta) 1, Set 121 b, to William, sst 71b. The candidates that appear most favourably weighted are Begum, 7st ; Rejoinder, Est 101 b ; Fidelia, (Ist 81b ; and Deceit, Get 71b. Ono of the Ibolywell pair, Deceit or Bogum, will be handy, aad should win if either can defeat Fidelia, whose forte is speed rather than staying. The Oxford Meeting will take place on Thursday and Friday, and Mr. Marshall has put forth a lengthy pro gramme. In the Oxfordshire Stakes (2 miles) eight horses stand from the original 21 entries. Romping Girl, Bst 121 b, would win, if sent to Oxford, but, as she is likely to be reserved for a more important engagement, Virginia Creeper should beat the remaining horses. For the Port Meadow Plate (5 furlongs) thirty-eight horses have been nominated, and Honesty or Miss Hayes will win. The County Members' Plate (6 furlongs), may be as signed to Ambition ; and the Freemen's Plate (1 mile) to Honestish. In the Prince of Wales's Stakes (4 far longs) there is no horse engaged capable of boating Chanoinosse, although amongst the entries are Antias, Carlotta, Dunbar, and Grand Turk. In the Stratton Audley Nursery Handicap (6 furlongs) thirty three candidates have been nominated. The best of them are La Belle Helene, 7st 101 b; Dunbar, 7st 81b; Lord of the Valley, 7st 51b ; King of the Rovers, 7st ; Engraver, 6st 101 b; anal Saga; 6st 71b. Dunbar, though beaten, ran well at Stockton, and I take this well-bred colt and La Belle Helene to be the most dangerous pair in the above Nursery. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1868. AUGUS T.

Ile could not say from whom it was received. Mr. Farrah's paper was the Sporting Times. lie, however, as a news -agent, took copies of the Chris tian lVorld. Mr. Farrah said he had lost over 200 letters, bui since the prisoner had been charged he had not lost a single one. The case was again remanded. MAR LBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING MUSIC BooKs.--William Myers, de scribed as of no home, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing some music books from the shop of Mr. Henry I)'Alcorn, music seller, No. 351, Oxford-street. William Pitcher, shopman to Mr. D'Alcorn, said that on Saturday evening, between eight and half past, the prisoner walked up to the window of the shop and stood in front of the show-board. He (witness) turned round for a minute to speak to a friend, and directly afterwards, on looking at the show-board, he missed some music books from the place wh ere h e had seen them b e f ore t h e prisoner walked up, and the prisoner was gone. He went after the prisoner and asked him what he had got about him, and he said nothing ; but on taking him back to the shop he found the music books under his coat, and gave him into custody, when he pleaded hard to be forgiven, stating that he had a wife and family. The prisoner denied stating that he had a wife and family. Police-constable Grenham, 132 C, said that on taking the prisoner into custody be said he 4 was hard up or he would not have done it. He found on the prisoner two duplicates relating to baga telle balls and to two inkstands. inspector Morgan asked for a remand, stating that the prisoner was known, Sergeant Hunter adding that the prisoner had only just come out of prison for stealing tools. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him. WESMILNSTER. MILITARY RUFFIANISM.—George Stevens, a pri vate in the Scots Fusilier Guards, wearing a good conduct stripe, was charged with assaulting John liallisee, of Paradise-walk, Chelsea. The prosecutor said—l was going down the King's-road, Chelsea, last night with a friend about about 20 minutes to 1 1 , when I met the prisoner and another soldier. The prisoner said, " Good night, chum ; are you Being to give us some beer ?" I said, " I do not know that you are any chum of mine." Prisoner turned round and said, " What do you mean, you -- ?" and struck me on the face several tiaies, and knocked me down. I held him until a constable came up, when I gave him into custody. The prisoner said that the prosecutor first as saulted him. The prisoner was remanded until to-morrow, and was removed:in the custody of a sergeant of his regiment. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Robert Shrubsoll, a tall young man of bad character, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with violently assaulting a girl of the town, name Sarah Sims, who appeared in court with her face bruised, one eye swollen and blackened, and her clothes saturated with gore. The facts were these. The prisoner and the girl met on Saturday night, and of ter they had been walking about some time, they went to a long and horrible court called John's-place, Baker-street, Stepney, where numerous robberies have been com mitted at intervals for many years. Before they had entered any of the dens in John's-place, the prisoner said, " You have brought me here to rob me, and struck her a severe blow on the face with his fist and knocked her down." She got up and called oat " Murder, and police," and he beat her in a brutal manner again, felled her to the ground and kicked her. She was raised by the bystanders weltering in blood, and taken to the London Hospital, where she received The number of Irish passengers who joined the train at Chester was comparatively few, but among them were some whose position and personal cha racter rendered the interest in their fate general and earnest. In addition to Lord and Lady Farnham, whose loss will be bitterly felt in their own county, the Hon. Walter Berwick, Judge of the Court of Bankruptcy, is now known to have been among the victims. He had been travelling in Switzerland for the benefit of his health and was on his way home. His sister and a Miss Finch travelled with him. He was seen speaking to Lord Farnham at the station iu Chester, and the first alarm respecting him was excited by the arrival of his luggage in Dublin. lle was highly respected by all classes, and much sym pathy is felt for his brothers—Mr. Edwd. Berwick, president of the Queen's College, Galway, and Dr. Berwick, a physician of this city. Judge Berwick iu early life, though not of late years, was au active politician, and rendered important service to the Liberal party. lie was one of the Commissioners who conducted the inquiry into the memorable affray at Dolly's Brae, which led to the removal of the n_►mes of Lord Roden and Mr. Beers from the roll of magistrates. Since his elevation to the bench the soundness and impartiality of his judgments commanded the confidence of the public. Fears were entertained that Judge Deasy, who had been ob served in conversation with him in Chester, shared his fate, but they have been set at rest by intelli gence of his safe return this morning. Mr. 11. Owen, another of those who it is believed have perished, was an organist connected with the New Church of St. Bartholomew's, and was returning home after spending a holyday with his friends at Chester, to be present at special services next week. The name of Miss Franks, daughter of a gentleman connected with the office of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, is also to be added to the dismal catalogue of the missing. She was returning with some friends who were about to visit a clergyman in Kingstown. It is rumoured that the Rev. Mr. Windle, of London, and Mrs. Windle, were in the train, and they have not since been heard of. Miss Vernon, a lady who resided in Kingstown, is also believed to have perished. The papers are filled with voluminous accounts of the calamity, and every form of language seems to be exhausted in attempting to describe its inde scribable horrors. It is probable that fullparti culars have been already published in London ; but as some of the passengers returned to Dublin and have given narratives of what they witnessed, it may be interesting to have their pictures of the scene. Some of the passengers lament that the thought of personal danger to those in the fore part of the train did not occur to them when they felt the con cussion and looked out. They saw, as they sup posed, only two vans on fire, and they hastened to remove the contents. The rest of the train in front was enveloped at the time in dark, pitchy smoke, as if coming from a funnel, and cast a veil over even the vivid flame which they after wards saw bursting forth like a stream of lava and dashing in fiery spray about the carriages. They saw, as they supposed, all the passengers out on the embankment, and 'never suspected the ter rible reality. It was only when the sides .of the carriage had been burnt, so that the interior be came visible, and they could see the imperfect out lines of human:figures in various positions within the burning mass that the awful truth was re vealed. It is believed that the death of the victims was instantaneous—that they were stifled by the poisonoes vapour ; but still the survivors deplore the fact that so long a time elapsed before their fate was discovered. The carriages kept burning for four hours. EVENING. The names of Captain and Mrs. Townsend, among the missing, were probably given in mis take for Mr. C. Uniacke Townsend and his sister-in-law, whose luggage was in the van, but who entered the London part of the train, and are safe. The salvage, it is said, is of great value. It includes diamonds of extraordinary size and singu lar brilliancy. There are a magnificent diamond necklace, a costly diamond ring, a centre ornament of a tiara having one large diamond, and 11 others not much smaller. There are rubies, opals, emeralds, gold tops of smelling-bottles, opera-glasses, 24 watches (all, with two or three exceptions, gold), chains, clasps of bags, and very many bunches of keys. diamonds stood the fire better than anything else ; the settings are nearly destroyed, but the stones remain unimpaired. The present Lord Farnham, his brother, the lion. Richard Max well, and some of the servants of the late lord made a lengthened inspection of these articles to- day, and they were able to give all but legal proof that some of the most valuable jewels, the diamonds especi ally, had been the property of the late Lord and Lady Farnham. One jewel Lord Farnham recog nised as the badge of the Order of St. Patrick. His late brother had worn it at the inauguration of the Fringe of Wales as a Knight of that Order. Then a pair of gold links were found, with a coronet and the initials "A. F. F.," her ladyship's Christian names having been " Anna- F ranc i sca. " A watch bearing his lordship's crest was in the collection. A Book of Common Prayer, one of the covers burnt off, but with the inscription on the title-page " Ed ward Oaten, from Lord Lyttelton," belonged to the late Lord Farnham's valet, who formerly lived with Lord Lytteltoa. As shortly before leaving Lou don Lady Farnham had her jewels cleaned at Hunt and Roskell's, application will be made to that firm with a view to the identification of those now lying at the Abergele station which may have be longed to her. In more than one instance bunches of keys have put the sad fate of particular persons beyond all doubt. A number of buttons with Lord Farnham's crest on them were found in the ashes on the line, and a few with the inscrip tion, " London and North-Western Railway Com pany." The former, no doubt, were ou the coat of Lord Farnham's footman, and the latter on that of William Smith, the guard. I believe that Inspec tor Owen and the police acting under him are en titled to every credit for their endeavours to re cover the property, but I am afraid that some of it has found its way into other hands—a circum stance which perhaps was inevitable. With the exception of one or two cases, the bag , gage of the passengers has been destroyed with them. This is accounted for by the fact that, as they entered the train at Chester, their luggage was put into the front van ; but some, at least, of the portmanteaus and boxes of Sir Nicholas and Lady Chinnery have arrived at Kingstown, though it has been ascertained that they got in at Chester, because in a telegram received by Sir Nicholas's sister on the morning of the day of the accident he stated that he had slept at Chester the previous night, and would be home that evening. His bag gage must have been put into the end van. Again, it must not be presumed that because the carriages which were destroyed had only been put on at Chester no one in them had come down from London. The express stays ten minutes at Chester, and it is a common occurrence for pas sengers to change carriages in order to join friends, or for some other reason. ELECTION IN7ELLIGENC.L. BANDON:-At a meeting of the Liberal electors of Bandon, on Tuesday, Mr. William Shaw was requested to contest the borough in the Liberal in terest at the coming election. Mr. Shaw acceded to the request. BODMlN.—'fhe Hon. F. Leveson-Gower, M.P. fJr Bodmin, addressed a large meeting of his constituents on Thursday evening in the Guild hall. The Mayor (Mr. G. P. Parkyn) occu pied the chair, and at the conclusion of the honourable gentleman's a ldress Mr. Hichiens then moved, and Mr. J. Oke seconded, this resolu tion :--" That having heard the straightforward and satisfactory address of the Hon. F. Leveson- Gower, M.P., on the leading questions of the dI y, we consider him entitled to the support and con fidence of the present and future electors of Bod min." This . was put to the meeting by the Mayor, and carried unanimously. BAR STAPLE.--The borough continues in A state of great excitement, owing to the large number of 'candidates who are on the field. Mr. Cave, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Evans are out on the Liberal side. Mr. Thomas is brought forward by the wolkiiig classes; there is a coalition between Mr. Cave and Mr. Evans. The Conservatives have made overtures to Mr. Howel Gwyn, of Brecon, but that gentleman declines to comp forward; the party has already two other candidates in the field. 104 (CO IGO tab 106 I(8 1(,6 4,3 lus 10d 1 8 uf 101 Seo 108 9J . 101 ON 98i 97 94 1,0 114 WA 1,1 101 103 10 1,3 105 108 105 106 106 110 111 113 Zvi 106 IC4i 10,4 113 1 5 114 113 t.

There are eight meetings this week, but Scarborough, Lichfield, Derby, and Oxford are the only programmes worth noticing. For the Scarborough Meeting, which takes place on Monday and Tuesday, Mr. Johnson has published a capital programme, and thousands of racing visitors will be attracted to this charming watering place. Six out of tho twelve races in the list are completed, and the main items in Monday's card are the Prince of Wales's Stakes, the Londesborough Cup, the Ganton Handicap, and the Visitors' Plate. To-morrow, in the Scarborough Handicap (1k miles), Chivalry, Gst 91b, Liberal, Est 21b, The Last Rose of Sum mer, Gst 21b, and Stella, sst 121 b, have been well placed Liberal is a most unlucky horse, but I shall nevertheless couple him with no Last Rose of Summer as the most trustworthy pair in this handic_►p. There are twenty en tries for the Nursery Plato (six furlongs), and those best in are Retort, 7st 101 b, Rattletrap, 7st 21b, Lord Bothwell, 7st, and Light Cloud, Est 121 b. The last-named is a very clever filly, but in this Nursery I prefer the chances of Retort and Rattletrap. STEEPLECHASES. 00TOBER. Bromley 1 Ealing DECEMBER: St. Albans Kingsbury a 1 DETENTION •OF A ROYAL PRESENT.—The Queen is just now experiencing the effect of the Cattle Plague Regulations. A splendid heifer, a present to her Majesty from the Duke of Saxo-Oobarg, arrived in Hull by steamer on the 14th inst. The orders of the Privy Council as to cattle direct that all foreign cattle landed in Hull shall, after a specified time, be slaughtered. The heifer from Saxe-Coburg, although consigned to the Queen, was there fore detained, - and is still in Hull, in the keeping of the Custom-house authorities. Fortunately for the life of the heifer one Order of Council has a clause allowing cattle to go seaward, so on Saturday next her Majesty's present will, under a bond of £lOO, be forwarded by steamer for London, and there she will be transhipped to Southampton, whence, after a quarantine of 28 days, she will, under a certificate, be taken to the Royal Farm at Windsor. Two NEW WAR Smrs.—The principal ship building firms in the kingdom having been called upon to send in their terms to the Admiralty for constructing two ships of the Audacious class, to be called the Triumph and S wiftsure, tenders were received in consequence at Whitehall la.,t week, but owing, we presume, to the ab sence of their lordships on their annual tour of inspection, no decision was arrived at until yesterday as to the par ties to whom the important weik should be entrusted, when it was resolved that Messrs. Palmer, of the Jarrow works, should be the builders of both vessels. The ships are each to mount 14 very heavy guns on the broadside system, they are to have double screws, are to be of 3,774 tons, and are to have a nominal power of 800 horses. Army and Nary Gazette. WOMEN'S HOUSEHOLD SUFFRAGE.—The overseers in the borough of Southwark have put the names of all the women householders of their borough on the iogister of voters. The overseers of Hillingdon, in West Middle sex, have done the same. Ste. Marie, concerned in the capture of Surratt, for which Congress appropriated $lO,OOO as a reward, re ceived'his money on Saturday, August 1. s• • TO° iii bi bare gat to 100 1 99i 1 105)
