ALLEGEDFRAIID AND CONSPIRACY. — The Brighton bench of magistrates were occupied for some time yesterday with an examination of the bail offered in the case of Broome, Staden, and James, who stand committed on a charge of cor.spiring to cheat and defraud Mr. W. Hemp, of Becton Villa, Hereford, of three 1001. bills, and about 201. cash. Mr. Sill, of Tavistock-row, London, was in attendance for the prosecution. Mr. Henry Nottidge, who was offered as bail for Staden, stated that he was a cook and confectioner, re siding at 2, Allington-street, Pimlico, and had lived . there and next door for fourteen years, and w as worth the required sum of 1001. On further examination , be stated himself to be cook at the Argyle Larder, Panton-street, Hayroarket—a night house, which closes at two o'clock. He said he had offered 5001. for that house, but there was a difference about the painting. Before he (Nottidge) went to the Argyle Larder he was cook at the Argyle Rooms. He used to ex hibit in the poses plastiques in Windmill-street ; he repre sented " Mercury," and the " Dying Gladiator." Besides his lease, for which he gave 3001., and his furniture, he had 590/. in the Bank. The magistrates were disposed to accept him as bail, but the case eventually stood over. Another person offered as bail was Mr. H. Spark, 25, 0/tendon-street, Haymarket, carpenter, builder, and undertaker, but he be came somewhat excited in cross-examination, declaring that be would not submit to be questioned about the details of his affairs, and the magistrates said they had not the means of being satisfied of his sufficiency. Mr. Lewis tendered Mr. M'Laren as one of the bail f or Broome, but the magistrates declined 'having ,having any examination in the absence of the se cond bait TUE LILY AND THE BEE."—Such is the title of Mr. Warren's recently announced prologue or romance of the Crystal Palace—a title which has as greatly excited cu riosity, as the work itself has created expectation. We un derstand that the Continent has shown great anxiety for early copies for translation; and we ourselves are somewhat curious to see from what point of view such a writer will regard this marvel of the a What produced hiden under the name " Lily and Bee,' ha s e already speculation. We have heard it suggested that Mr. Warren is favourable to the conversion of the Crystal Palace into a garden, and symbolizes its present industrial character under the " Bee," and its proposed floral character under the " Lily." A few days, however, will set this matter at rest.—Dublin Daily Express. BALLOON ASCENT FROM CREMORNE-GARDENS.-- The host who drinks his own wine gives mute though elo quent testimony to its excellence, and when the director of Cremorne-gardens goes up in his own balloon, he proves that he has no wish for others to undergo a peril— or it should rather be said have an enjoyment —which he is un willing himself to share. Such an o ccurrence took place last night at Cremorne-gardens, when Mr . Simpson made one of a party, consisting of jthe celebrated Spanish aeronaut, Giu seppe Lunardini, and two ladies, said to be scions of an emi nent mercantile house in the city, who had resolved to try the freshness of mid air under such secure guardianship. The ascent was eminently beautiful and prosperous on this occasion, and after a delightful voyage, an easy descent was effected on Pluinpstead Marshes. The whole party re turned, in full enjoyment of their aerial excursion, to Crc morne-gardens at an early hour, when their presence was greeted with shouts of welcome from the many thousands of spectators who had witnessed the ascent only a short two hours previously. BRITISH ARCirmOLOGIC AL A ssocrATlorc—The first excursion of this society took glace on Tuesday, on which day a party of about ninety ladies and gentlemen lett Derby for Chesterfield, from whence they proceeded to Balsover Castle. After making a tour of the house and adjoining ruins, the p:rty were conveyed to Hardwick Hall, the resi dence of the Duke of Devonshire, where , h avin g made a minute inspection of all that was rich and curious, the visitors were ushered to the banquetting-room, in which an excellent cold lunch had been provided for them. The next place visited was the Manor-house of South Wingfield, the ruins of which are situated on a wooded emine nce. From the inspection of these remains the party proceede d to the railway station, and reached Derby about nine 00104 in the evening. cArraoLic DEFENCE ASSOCIATION. (From the Times.) The " great aggregate meeting," convened at Dub lin, has fairly come off; the " Catholic Defence As sociation" is formally constituted and established, and the world has learnt as much as it was thought advis able to disclose of the designs and resolutions of its members. Tue meeting was intended to have been politically as well as ecclesiastically " Catholic," and a Lancashire baronet stood forth with an Edinburgh divine to typify the union of the kingdoms in those halls which had been solemnly dedicated to the cause of Repeal. This attempt, however, was unsuccessful. The proceedings were emphatically Irish from first to last—lrish in their audacity, Irish in their illegality, Irish in their inconsequence, and Irish in their con tradictions. Dr. WHale moved a declaration that Ministers had forfeited a confidence which he admitted they never possessed, and betrayed a trust with which he acknowledged they had never been charged. One speaker defined the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill as an " atrocious and Algerine enactment ;" another de scribed it as an empty counterfeit, absolutely impotent for any object at all. The statute in qaeation was suc cessively represented as destructive and harmless, as ing every office of religion, and as doing more good than evil, as a piece of diabolical subtlety, and as a specimen of nonsensical folly. Mr. Moore chal lenged the entire audience to say whether there was the smallest reality in the grievance against which he was urging them to protest ; and his hearers, we are told, rose in a mass and declared, with the " most vehement cheering," that "no Government under heaven" could do that which they had just resolved Lord John Russell had done. In his brief speech the Hon. Gentleman embodied the logic and convic tions of his countrymen. lie said that the Bill against the Roman Catholic titles was wholly depen dent for effect on the " forbearance, moderation, and compassion" of Roman Catholic prelates. He said that it existed only by supposition, but that he never theless " defied, spat upon, and scorned it." In se conding a resolution that " Catholics were precluded from the enjoyment of their religion," he triumphantly affirmed that this religion stood just where it did before, " all statutes to the contrary notwithstanding ;" and, after re cording his own determined opposition to the measure at every stage, and testifying his still lively indignation by his conduct that day, he con cluded with a remark, that "on the whole he did not regret the passing of the Bill." Finally, a meeting as sembled to protest against the proscription of certain titles asserted their practical belief that no such titles were proscribed, and constituted twenty-eight prelates with territorial designations a committee for securing territorial designations to these very men. It needed only to complete the character of the proceeding that some one should have appeared on the platform and regretted his utter inability to be present. Irish resolutions, however, are seldom the less mis chievous for being contradictory, nor are our readers likely to be deceived respecting the true intent and meaning of these extraordinary transactions. Dr. Cullen, after violating the law in his own signature, and approving a systematic repetition of the offence throughout the proceedings of the day, was pleased to close the meeting with the characteristic remark that " What had taken place would make them all better subjects, better Christians, and better able for the ful filment of their duties." What, in Dr. Cullen's opinion, may be the obligations of a subject, we cannot at tempt to define; but the purport of the resolutions, which, " when properly understood, could cflaud no body," was to hurl defiance at the law, and compel the Imperial Legislature to rescind its most solemn acts under menace of intolerable agitation. It is quite true that, apart from the assumptions of illegal titles, there is little to distinguish the trans actions before us from the ordinary proceedings of Englishmen under similar circumstances. When we conceive objections to any particular law, we attend public meetings, we record protests, we pass resolutions, we nominate committees, and we sub scribe funds. We are not very squeamish, either, in the language we employ, and the offences of Her Majesty's Government" are often stigma tized in strong idiomatic phraseology. But we do not proclaim the duty of general disobedience to the law of the land in furtherance of our parti cular desires. High words have been used about the army estimates, about the franchise, about chicory, and about the malt. tax, but, until the law is altered, all parties concur in obeying it as it stands. If the agitators have a good case they are ultimately successful; if not, their clamour dies away. In Ireland the case differs altogether. The agitators of that country have been taught one method only of extorting compliance with the demands they are pleased to prefer on the Legislature of the empire, and this method is to make Ireland ungovernable till they are satisfied. By exerting the influence of an unscrupulous priesthood, and abusing the suscepti bilities of an ignorant and suffering peasantry they have heretofore succeeded at their will in producing such social disorganization and misery as half. scared and half seduced their opponents into surrender. They have now proclaimed the same tactics again. They have publicly asserted their intention of violating a law which was passed by larger majorities and dic tated by more powerful opinion than had ever been witnessed since the days of Pitt. In executing their resolutions they will stop at no excess of agitation or turbulence. Tney will thwart, oppose, and as far as in them lies, suspend the improvement of the land, the education of the people, and the pacification of the country. They will evoke all that Ireland contains of wretchedness, atrocity, and passion, and will marshal their millions of deluded followers in delibe rate defiance of authority and order. No good can be done by disguising these facts, and it is on many accounts desirable to look the matter steadily in the face. Ultimately these Irish tactics proceed on the assumption that under a certain amount of annoyance England must give way. We do not presume that even in the aggregate of bluster ing mountebanks collected in the Rotunda there was a single man who doubted the absolute power of the Imperial Legislature to enforce its decrees from the shores of Donegal to the coasts of Cork against any conceivable resistance. The strength of England, if once exerted in earnest, would crush these devices of insurgency fur many a long year to come. It is on our own indisposition to severity that the hopes of the agitators are built. But there must be a limit to these concessions, and Dr. Cullen and his colleagues should con sider whether this limit may not soon be reached. It is very troublesome, very costly, and very painful to be under the necessity of maintaining large forces in Ireland, and to be living from day to day under those conditions of discord, hatred, and col lision which the Pope's representatives know so well how to create ; but it is still more painful, and must, in the end, be still more costly, to leave in such hands as these a practical veto on the decrees of the Imperial Parliament. For, as all must see, the menace with which we are threatened, now is available for every occasion alike, and, if it is permitted to be effectual, it will vest the power of decision in the last appeal, not in the Queen, Lords, and Commons of our Con stitution, but in the priestly demagogues of the Irish Rotunda. It is not a mere question of titles or privileges, but a contest for supreme authority. If the " Catholic Defence Association" can dictate a recantation to the English people on such a point as this they can do so on any point which may be raised, and it will always be in the power of the Pope's nominees to compel the enactment or repeal of laws as they may think fit or expedient. In self defence, therefore, we must take our stand, and main tain our rights. We yielded in the case of Catholic Emancipation, for there was really a grievance which, for two generations, had been recognised by liberally minded statesmen. But the voice which spoke last autumn, throughout the length and breadth of Eng land, will not be silenced at the bidding of an Italian monk. We have our convictions, if Irishmen have theirs ; and, although we assented to what Irishmen asked for themselves, we are not likely to permit them to dictate to us. An agitation in Dublin to enforce the claims of the Pope in 'Westminster is a flight even above the natural impudence of the Rotunda, as it will assuredly prove beyond the well-tried patience of Englishmen. Dr. Cullen has thrown down the glove with a challenge in which the dissimulation of the hypccrite ill conceals the designs of the agitator. The people of the kingdom have expressed their will in a simple and most considerate law. They will see that this law is obeyed, and Dr. Cullen will soon find that he has calculated too far on the forbearance of those whose weakness is only a reluctance to exert heir strength. GOOD NEWS FOR NOVEL READERS....a new work, from the pen of the author of "The Wife's Sister; or, , the Forbidden Marriage," to be entitled " Life an d its Les sons," is, it seems, on the eve of publication, and there can be little doubt that the talented niece of the celebrated novelist, Miss Austen, will turn so fertile a theme to rare account. This new om new Work of Fiction is said to he founded on the fair writer's n experience of Men and Manners, and her main object to be, as in the writings of Miss Edgeworth, to hold out a timely warning to the young and inexperienced, in order to save them as far as possible from the trials, tempta tions, and disappointments which all are more or less likely to experience in their journey through life. MANSLAUGHTER.— Yesterday a carman, named Daniel Tubitt, was committed to Newgate, from the petty sessions at Twickenham, on the charge of manslaughter, having caused the death of a child named Cornelius Dono van, by leaving his horse and cart in a road unattended. It appeared that on the 19th instant, the prisoner left his horse and cart outside a public-house in Twickenham, having pre viously taken the bit out of the animal's mouth, for the purpose of his having a feed of corn and hay. Some time a f terwa rds the horse suddenly started on , and the deceased ' who was in the road near the kerb, was knocked down before he could get out of the way, and the wheel of the cart passed over his head. lie was picked up insensible and removed to a neighbouring surgeon's, where tie usual means were applied 1 ' for his restoration, but without success, and he soon sank . 1 under the injuries he had received. The prisoner ex- I pressed his regret at what had occurred, but the bench were i unable to look over the offence, as it was such a glaring caw iof negligence. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, HIJRSDAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FIFTY GUINEA CUP.-MATCH BETWEEN THE SECRET, THE PHANTOM, AND THE BLONDE. These tittle " uns" started this morning with a splendid breeze from the west by south, and the "Se cret" soon made her beating, the rest nc secret at all, the Phantom faded in the distance, the Blonde brought up the rear. The course was the old one, and the best one round the Bramble buoys. There is evsry appearance of a good day's sport to morrow ; there is a spanking breeze which is likely to continue; the Roadstead is a forest cf masts; we scarcely ever saw so many yachts here. We have the Royal yachts, the Royal Yacht Squadron yachts, and, to all appearance, the yachts of 611 the other yacht squadrons, not omitting that phantom ship the " America," on which the eyes of all the world are fixed, and will be to-morrow in the gratol match. BEE MAJESTY ' S CUP, GIVEN TO BE SAILED FOIL ON MONDAY NEXT BY YACHTS OF ALL NATIONS. This cup, which was by some mistake sent to Ryde, and is announced to be sailed for by the yachts of the Ityde Club, is to be sailed for by the yachts of all nations, round the isle of Wight, on Monday ne:at; this will give the America a second trial. Doubtless a whole fleet will start, as there are to be no restric tions as to size or rig. While the yachts are contending to-morrow there will be boat races, duck hunts, tize,, and fireworks on shore and afloat in the evening. A regular engage ment is to take place between the steamers and the yachts, and again on Wednesday next, being the town regatta. (From the Times.) COWES, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The challenge of the Americans has at last been accepted. Mr. Stephenson, M.P., has taken up their gage, and all that remains is to sail the match as soon as the re gatta to-morrow is over. The conditions of the race are not known, but the sum staked on the event by Mr. Stephenson is 1001. The vessel which is opposed to the America is an iron schooner of 100 tons called the Titania. She was built by Messrs. Robinson and Russell, and is said to be a fast vessel' in smooth water; but I must confess I share in the doubts expressed by most people here as to her being a fit rival for the America, and am inclined to think she will be beaten hand over hand, notwithstanding the high reputation of her builders. However, Mr. Stephenson will have the credit of taking up a challenge which could not have been permitted to lie before us much longer without some degree of discredit being attached to the spirit of our yachtsmen, which hitherto has been unquestioned. If he win, the America may pull down her stars and stripes as soon as she likes. If he be beaten, it will only be after a good race ; and no one can say he did not do his beat for the credit of the country, and that he did not lose 1001. with a becoming grace honoris masa. It is a characteristic trait that the Hon. Member puts his trust in iron, but wonderful as are the capabilities of that universal metal it is yet to be proved that it is a better material than wood for the hulls of yachts. Under the rays of a bright sun and a clear sky, scarcely freckled with light patches of cloud, the ap pearance of Cowes to-day is very animated and pic turesque. The moorings in front of the esplanade and before the Royal Yacht Squadron Clubhouse are studded with yachts, which it may be fairly said are innumerable, ihr the graceful confusion of hulls, sails, and spars, and the shifting about of the various vessels from place to place, render it impossible to count them. The waters of the Solent in every direction are studded with yachts careening over in a fine sail ing breeze, with every stitch set, leaving the roads and beatiug up towards the Needles, or running up to their anchorage from Southampton Water and the Nab. In the middle of them all lies the America, easily distinguished by the peculiar cut of her hull, her bows and entry so fine and acute, and her stern cocking up slightly at the end ; by her tall raking masts; but, above all, by a huge square ensign at her main, of blue bunting, dotted with a whole heaven of white stars and by her distinguishing flag at the peak—white with red stripes, a square blue patch in the upper quarter, with a circle of white stars round a foul anchor—the flag of the New York Yacht Club. Further out lies the trim little Fairy, with her fiery-coloured funnel, and the Royal yacht as bright as a new pin. Boats are pulling to and fro in all directions. Every steamer from Ryde, Southampton, and Portsmouth brings over a full freight of gentlemen in yachting costume, and of ladies in the peculiar attire devised at watering places to keep off the weather. Lucky is the man who has a berth afloat, and is not forced to run up and down the little mountainous streets of Cowes looking for a bed with a heavy carpet-bag and the thermometer at 90 degrees—and that, too, generally without success. On the beach and esplanade pretty little groups are strolling about and talking over the great event of to-morrow, or criticising the various yachts ; some of the ladies being greatly puzzled at that " ugly looking America without any clean nice ropes, or anything attractive like the vessels near her, being able to sail so well," and a tremendous traffic is going on in the transfer of hampers, bottle cases, ad joints of Meat, fowl, and such creature comforts from the shore to the men at sea. The club-house is crammed with members, and altogether there is more excitement than is usually visible on such occasions among the easy-going yachtsmen. It does one's heart good to see the Marquis of An glesey as full of life and fire as in his best days, with a jaunty tarpaulin hat and hi head, a pale bluejacket, flawing canvas trousers, and a dapper little walking about in front of the club, with a hearty shake of the hand for all his friends, and a word for all around, and then getting into his boat with a stout stiff stride, as though be never had left a leg behind at Waterloo. But that the old Pearl had no chance, I am certain that the Marquis would not have allowed the Americans to have it to say that it was weeks before any Englishman took up their chal lenge. Lord Jersey and a number of other members of both Houses are also here, looking much better, but very different as regards the outward man from what they were a few weeks ago in London. About one o'clock a fillip was given to the saunterers and idlers by the America showing signs that she was getting under weigh. She hoisted her mainsail, then her fore and aft foresail, and when ber prodigi ous foresail was up and filled, shot from her moorings like an arrow towards the Needles, greatly to the discomfiture of a little fleet of artists around, who wore busily engaged in taking her portrait. I had a good opportunity of seeing how she was handled, as I was close alongside at the time speaking to Mr. Stephens, and I must say that, though her men were smart, in that respect we have nothing to fear from her, the start being made only in a fair average way. This is no criterion, to be sure, of what she can do, as there was no occasion for haste, the Commodore merely wishing to have a sail in her; but it did not strike me that her crew, undoubtedly fine, able-bodied young men, were at all superior to our ordinary sailors. Her exterior is so finely smoothed — l might say polished —that it is difficult to believe till you touch her sides that she is not made of iron, and I again observed the curious way in which the water fizzed up from her bows—it was not raised up in foam breaking away before the prow as with our cutters, but started up in thin little jets, and fell away under the bows just in the same way that water spurts up before a knife blade moved rapidly through it. Another peculiarity, and one I think which it would be well if our yachts men copied, is that her sails are laced to the booms and masts, so that not the slightest particle of wind can escape the sails. Long as her masts seem she stands remarkably well under canvas. Judging from her course to-day she steers easily and is very manageable. With all sail set she is not so handsome to our eyes as our own craft, mainly on account of the cut of her main and fore and aftforesails, which are more in the shape of lengthened, obtuse-angled parallelograms than our own, and have not near so great a difference between the length at her boom and at the gaff. Just as I am writing this the people are running down to the piers and to the beach. It is nearly 3 o'clock, and the America is sailing back from the Needles, past Cowes, with a flotilla of yachts around her. She has foresail, fore and aft foresail, and mainsail set (her new jib not being used), and goes almost as softly, lightly, and quickly through the sea as a swallow skims over a meadow. About twenty cutters, schooners, and yawls are after her, most of them with every sail they can set, but she shoots away from them witlathe greatest ease. Several yachts which have been cruising about alter their course, and drop in before her, but the America gains on the best of them as if they were not moving at all, and before she had passed the point which shu ts out my view of the Solent, just off the entrance to Cowes from the i Ports mouth side, she had left them all hopelessly n the rear, the work of about ten minutes. -- ----------- SUPPRESSION OF DISORDERLY HOUSES IN THE PARISH OF ST. CLEMENT DANES. -At a vestry meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Clement Danes, held last night in the;Vestrv-room, Strand —Mr. N. M. Bates in the chair—Mr. Lewis Called the attention of the vestry to the statement made by Mr. Sergeant Adams on the bench, which appeared in the public prints of the 10th instant, that the authorities of this parish were unwilling and refused to institute proceedings against disreputable . houses, and in quired if such a statement was true, for a judge should not go out of his way, as Sergeant Adams had done, to asperse and throw odium on public bodies. The chairman said that the statement of Mr. Sergeant Adams was utterly unfounded, for the parochial authorities had never been un willing or refused to institute such prosecutions. Mr. Lewis strongly condemned the conduct of the Learned Judge in making extra-judicial statements from the bench, which were uncalled for and unfounde d, and did not come out in evidence. Several speakers having addressed the meeting to the same purport, the consideration of the question was ad journed for a fortnight. 1 TOLLS: FOR LIGHTHOUSES. —On Tuesday a return to Parliament was printed, from which it appears that in the i year 1849 the gross amount of tolls cn vessels for lighthouses was 195,824 t. ss. 4d.

DEVONPORT, AUGUST 20.—Commodore Lord John Hay passed a restless night, but we are happy to state his Lordship is better this afternoon, and may be considered much the same as he has been the past few days. This morning the Lords of the Admiralty trans acted business at Moorsheads's Hotel. Sir Baldwin Walker came into the yard early this morning, and was met by Messrs. Turner and Peake , m aster ship wright's assistants, and went on board all the ships building and repairing. On board the Sanspareil they stopped a long time, and minutely inspected the machinery now being erected on board of her. Sir Baldwin did not leave the yard till near four o'clock. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Rear-Admiral Pres cott, C. 8., superintendent of this dockyard, is pro moted to the red squadron of her Majesty's fl- et, and will shift his flag from white to red at the mizen of the Britannia, 120, Captain Yates, on Saturday morning. The Sprightly steam-tender, Master-ex - amender G. Allen, conveyed the Port Admiral and Rear-Ad miral Superintendent to Cowes this morning. Sir F. Barima, Admiral Dundas, Captain Milne, the lion. Mr. Cowper, Captain Hamilton, &c., went in two carriages to the Royal Hospital, and made an inspection of that department, the Royal William Victualling• yard, and the Marine Barracks. Their Lordships give a dinner to-night at Moorshead's Hotel. Myrmidon was paid advance this Efternoon, by Mr. Mills, master attendant.

The fine ship Herefordshire, 1,500 tons, Captain George Richardson, may be hourly expected at Leith from Quebec, with the 79th Highlanders on board. She sailed from Spithead for Gibraltar on the 25th of May last, with the 13th Regiment. and arrived there on the sth of June-11 days; sailed for Barbadoes, with the 54th Regiment, on the 13th of June, and arrived at that island on the 3d ofJuly-20 days ; sailed for Quebec, with the 56th Regiment, on the 10th of July, and reached that port on the 28th-18 days; sailed for Leith with the 72th Highlanders on the sth of August inst , and is expected hourly at that port, thus accomplishing the round in the unprecedented short period of three months. THE ÜBBERLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT On Wednesday morning the inquest on the suf ferers by the late catastrophe at the Übberley coal mines, Staffordshire, was opened at the Saracen's Head Inn, Crown Bank, Shelton, before William Harding, Esq., coroner. The Government, although apprised of the event, as directed by the statute 13 and 14 Vict., did not appoint any person to appear on behalf of the public. The jury having viewed the bodies of the deceased, Mr. John Ridgway, of Cauldon-place, was exa mined—He said : I am the proprietor of these works. They are called the Übberley Colliery. My orders are, that no man shall enter the mine in the morning unless a butty precede him with a safety-lamp, to see that all is right. Richard Edwards, of Broom-street, Upper Hanley, a collier, deposed—l am employed as a butty at the Übberley Colliery. Was at the work at half-past five o'clock on Monday morning. Mountford and three other parties came an hour afterwards. Thomas Jones did not descend with the first party— Edward Forrister, Ephraim Mountford, Joseph Knight, John Goodfellow, and Henry James, a boy, went down in a second lot shortly afterwards. From the second descent more than seven or eight minutes did not elapse before the explosion took place. A partner of mine and myself descended as soon as I knew what was amiss. At the time of the explosion, a great noise and stench came up the shaft, and I let the chain down first, then, after the chain came up again, John James got a waggon out and be and I got to the bottom of the pit, where we discovered four men and two boys uninjured. We then pro- ceeded to ascertain where the fire had taken place. At the south and in the ten feet mine, Ephraim Mountford had made a rash attempt to save his bro , ther, and finding him overpowered with the sul phur, I rescued him. We found Thomas Jones, Goodfellow, and Hopkins close together quite dead. I could get no further, and returned to the top of the pit, and advised that some water should be thrown down, which was done. I went down again after that, and proceeded to search for the rest of the men. Edward Forrister and George Sumner were found about an hour afterwards— they were quite dead. About two hours afterwards, two others, George Mountford and Ralph Hancock, were found. They were further in the workings. I discovered the furthermost man. I assisted in get ting the bodies taken up the shaft, but I remained down. I was in the pit on the Friday previous to the accident. By the CORONER—The men had worked for the last month with naked candles on the south side of the mine. I did not consider it dangerous. May found the lamp, which was driven in the direction of the shaft. By Mr. Pierce—l account for the accumulation of sulphur by the state of the weather. The air-ways were in good order. The CORONER remarked that at a previous inquiry Mr. Tremenheere had urged the necessity of keeping a fireman, whose duty it should be to enter the mine with a lamp daily, to ascertain if the mine was clear of sulphur, and it was to be regretted this was not done at Übberley. Ephraim Mountford, who was so weak that he was accommodated with a chair, was next examined. He said—l went down into the pit with the second lot of men, but went north two or three minutes before the explosion. I was about fifty or sixty yards from the deceased men when the explosion took place. I went to look after my brother, but the smoke prevented me. I saw one man dead and then went up the shaft. William Cooper, a collier employed at the works generally, corrobarated the evidence of the other witnesses, and swore that the south air-way was cleaned out about two months since. He said aWe made a good job of it. I should think that air-way was sufficiently large for the purpose." By Mr. Pierce—The north side, in which I worked, was generally considered the most dangerous. We —Forked with candles at times. The air came to us f ern the south. George Perrin, ground bailiff at Übberley, sworn, said that on Friday Hancock brought him all the o hl o s ou o l w d n hare He th t e td . lamps h i a n t u s n s e y by da y h iosrgaannyg hourexcept h On Saturday about eleven o'clock witness was down in the mine, and found it the same as usual. After about a quarter of an hours' deliberation, the jury gave a verdict, "That George Mountford, the deceased, came by his death at the Übberley Colliery accidentally," and accompanied that verdict by an expres9ion of regret that an inspector had not been sent down to investigate the cause of the accident. A similar verdict was taken in the cases of the six others, and the jury retired. THE 'WASHINGTON COLLIERY EXPLOSION. The inquest upon the bodies of the persons who perished in this dreadful calamity—no fewer than 34 in number—was commenced on Wednesday, although the Government Inspector of Mines in the district had not arrived. It was stated that Mr. Cruddace, the viewer, who was in London, had intrusted the management in his absence to an underviewer, John Bell, but that he was in a public house from five o'clock in the afternoon till ten at night, at which latter hour "he was the worse for liquor, but was able to walk." The night shift went down between four and five o'clock. About half-past six o'clock ono of the workmen, John Bird, observed, by his candle, that gas was aceutuulating ; he became alarmed, and told Hall he was afraid to stay. Hell replied thatthe gas was not so bad as it was on the previous Friday night, and Bird was quieted. A few hours after that two or three of the men, not including Bird, left the pit, because they considered it in a dangerous state to work in. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Bird became alarmed again, on noticing the gas at his candle elongating the ' flame. lie then determined to leave ; and while he was making his way out of the pit the explosion took place. Bird was thrown down, his legs were hurt, and he was very much cut by the force with which he was thrownl ag ainst the walls of the mine. He, however, es caped. The noise of the explosion was, of course, heard at the mouth of the pit, and an alarm was im mediately given. Bell was sent for, and he and several others, as soon as it was practicable, descended into the mine. Two of these resolute men perished in a noble attempt to save their comrades ; and of those in the pit when the explosion took place, thirty two were taken out dead ; makin g , with the other two, thirty.four who have perished by this calamity. It was nearly twenty-four hours after the explosion took place before all the bodies were recovered; and, during the whole of that period, the excitement at the pit's mouth and the neighbouring village was painful to witness. Most of the sufferers were killed by afterdamp ; but some of 'the bodies were much injured by fire and the force with which they were thrown against the sides of the pit. The evidence of the workmen, so far as taken before the coroner, showed that the pit had been for some time in a dangerous state ; but it is intimated that there will be satisfactory evidence of a contrary character, showing that the pit was quite safe, and the ventilation perfect. In the course of the inquiry it came out that the pit exploded about three months ago, when two lives were lost; and again only three weeks ego, when no one perished. An explosion took place in the same pit twenty-three years ago, when fourteen lives were lost. The following evidence was among that given on Wednesday : Mr. Cruddace pr o d uce d a plan of the underground s , oi kusgs, showin g th e course o f ventilation. The place where the pit fir e d on M on day night was the first cross pit of the Hutton seam. The upcaet and downcast shafts are from 200 to 300 yards apart. From 28,000 to 33,000 cubic feet of air per minute descends the downcast shaft, and is diffused over the workings. The ventilation is by furnace. The air splits at the bottom of the engiaa-bank, about 1,000 yards from the downcast , shaft. Pa r t o f t h e a i r goes direct into the part of, the workings wh ere th e ' pit fired, and returns by toe west side over an overcast, thence up some old wastes to a return staple, which leads into the low main seam to the furnace. The air travels at that part at the rate of three or four f ee t per secand. The air does not ventilate more than two acres of the workings. It travels in some places 4i yards wide, and in others only from 3 to 4 feet wide, but where the ways are so narrow there are several of them together, to keep up a uniform velocity. George Charlton, back overman, said, he left the pit o on Monday afternoon, between five and six clock. Had examined the pit in every working place, in cluding the part where she is supposed to have fired, and left, considering her quite safe. William Hall, who is killed, took charge of the next shift. Witness worked with candles, and candles were generally used in that part. Has had charge of that part about a year and a half. There has been gas there before, from falls. Has not known any blowers come off. Considered it safe to work them with candles, unless a fall should come off with the workings. Had never known gas come off so strong from a full as to fire the pit. sever heard a complaint of danger from work ing at that part with candles. Cannot account for the explosion. Thomas Todd, deputy, left the pit the same time as Charlton, and confirmed his testimony. He said there was no danger from a blower where lamps were used. If the explosion was caused by a blower, it must have been where a candle was used. The men prefer to use candles, because they give a better light. they find their own candles. If they use Davy lamps they are saved expense, as the owners provide lamps and oil. Witness has never heard the men ask to be allowed lamps in that part of the pit. SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER The neighbourhood of Tottenham has been in a state of the most painful excitement since Wednesday evening, in consequence of a desperate attempt to murder two respectable women, mother and daughter, by a German named Carl Ragelaek, who afterwards destroyed himself. The uu fortunate deceased, who is stated to be of highly respectable connexions in his own country, came to England some twelve months since with a recommendation to Mr. Broad, clerk in a bank in Lombard-street, and has since resided with that gentleman's family at Tottenham• hale. He is said to have had an attachment for Miss Broad, whose father, however, objected to their union, chiefly on account of the disparity of their age, the deceased being 35 years old and the young lady only about 20 ; added to which the deceased had on several occasions evinced symptoms of a disordered mind. About three months back he disappeared from home in an extra ordinary manner, and nothing was heard of him for a considerable time, until at length he wrote from Liverpool to Mr. Broad, who went to that place and brought him back. On Wednesday, after having been in London during the day, he returned about eight o'clock in the evening to Tottenham, and had scarcely entered the house when screams and cries of " Murder" were heard, and immediately afterwards the two women, who were alone in the house, ran out bleed ing from various wounds. Mr. Ryan, the railway station-master, having entered the place, found Carl Ragelaek lying dead in the parlour, and a dagger covered with blood lying beside him. it appeared that be had attacked Miss Broad with the dagger, in flicting a slight stab upon her body, and a more seri ous wound upon her hand, with which she bad endea voured to ward off the blow, and her mother on has tening to her assistance, hearing her cry out, was at tacked, and received a rather severe stab in the chest. The two women then ran out, as already stated, and fell fainting in the road, and the deceased, turning the weapon against himself, plunged the weapon into his abdomen five or six times, and terminated his exist ence in less than two minutes. Mrs. Broad and her daughter were placed under the care of Mr. May, a surgeon, who reported yesterday evening that they were progressing favourably. The deceased was con veyed to the White Hart, near the railway station, to await the inquest, and on stripping the body yes terday to place it in the coffin, a belt was found round the waist containing upwards ,of 1001. in German money, besides 71. 17s. English in the pockets of his clothes. The dagger with which he committed the crimes is eight or nine inches long, with black handle, apparently of foreign make, and it is stated that he had another instrument of the same kind, but more handsomely mounted, in his possession. AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. Our town was thrown into high excitement on Mon , day last by the arrival of a runaway couple from the county of Amherst. First came Dr. Williams and Miss Morriss (the affianced lover) with two brothers of Dr. W. and Mr. Hill. Soon afterwards, Mr. Richard Mor riss end his son Richard (the father and brother of Miss Morriss) and Mr. Shelton arrived in hot pursuit after the fugitives. The whole of Monday evening was con sumed in propositions from ono side to the other, Dr. Williams refusing to give up the young lady to her father. Counsel was called in, who decided that there ac no lave by which Mr. Morriss could recover posses sion of his daughter. Threats passed freely on both sides, and young Morriss being told that his sister would not be given up without a fight, drew a pistol upon one of Dr. Williems's brothers, who showed that he was fully prepared for such an emergency, and blood would haN e been shed had not the bystanders interfered to prevent it. The parties were then arrested, dis armed, and bound over to keep the peace. In the course of the evening Mr. Morriss obtained possession of his daughter, and thus ended the affair in Char lottesville. On Tuesday morning the Morriss party, with the daughter, set oat upon their return home, and a few moments afterwards the Williams party followed. The Williams party passed the others, and arrived at 14°vingstoll (Nelson C. H.) first, mid it so happened that both parties stopped et the same ho te l. when Youn so g Morriss and Mr. Hill met at the supper-tab,something Pff"ed that exasperated Morriss, and he threw his fi plate at Hill's head. Hill thereup on drew a pistol and red at Morriss, the shot taking effect in the region of his heart. Morriss then shot Hill in the abdomen, giving him a severe, and it is thought mortal wound. He also fired at Dr. Williams, the shot taking effect in the spine and the doctor expired in five minutes thereafter. Miss Morriss is a raving maniac, and threatens to put an end to her existence if her lover should not survive his wound. Mr. Morriss proceeded home with his daughter and the corpse of his son, expecting that th© dreadful calamities which had befallen them would cause the death of his wife. Thus has ended one of the most terrible tragedies that has ever occurred upon the soil of Virginia. Nothing is wanting to render it complete —love, misery, madness, and death, make up the scenes of the bloody drama. We trust that so awful a lesson will not be lost upon the community.—Charlottes ville Advertiser. M. Cretnieux, representative - of the people, cora• plained on Sunday to the commissary of police of the quarter Montholon, that an extensive robbery had been committed in his house, No. 8, Rue Riboute. His servant, Rosalie Klein, a Jewese, stated that at six o'clock in the morning she had gone as usual to seek the milk, leaving the apartment open by mistake. On returning she found a man dressed in black in the ante-room, and he knocked her down by a tre mendous blow on the head. Stunned by the blow, she could not, she said, cry out, and on recovering she perceived that the jewel box of her mistress had disappeared. M. and Ma dame Crinnieux placed full credit in her statement from the air of sincerity with which it was made. The commissary of police, however, suspected the girl, and made a minute search in her apartment, and all over the house, but without finding the jewels. A watch was, however, set on her, and yesterday morning she was observed to leave the houso at an early hour, with a basket on her arm. She walked rapidly to the Boulevards, and on reaching the Boulevard des Italiens, perceived that she was followed by a police inspector. She immediately took to her heels, but he caught chase, at the corner of the Rue Taitbou.t: her, after a sharp In her box was found the jewel box, containing two ge'a watches and chains, a gold lorgnon, a large gold chain, tin' e simple brooches, eleven pins, three brooches ornamented with brilliants, several rings, earrings, &c., the whole of. i and her of 10,000 k The inspector proceeded to take the gif over the booty to the Prefecture of Police.

Yesterday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a female of apparent respectability, genteelly attired and of ladylike address, called at the shop of Mr. C. A. More, manufacturing goldsmith and jeweller, 240, Shorcditch, nearly opposite the railway terminus, and desired to be shown some plain gold rings. The shopman complied with her request by pro ducing a large card containing a selection of nearly fifty. She forthwith entered into conversation, and at the same time appeared to be intently examining the rings; whilst os tensibly so engaged, she watched an opportunity and threw a handful of pepper, or some other powerful pungent powder, into the shopman's face, and inudediately darted out of the shop with the card of rings. Fortunately the shopman had at the moment turned his head to procure another card from the window, to show his customer, so that he received the discharge only on one side of his face, partially closing up his left eye, and causing a disagreeable smarting sensationon his cheek. Notwithstanding the excessive pairn he the w c ae ounter suf fering with his eye, he instantly and gave chase, calling . out . Stop t door, hearing the butcher, who was standing at his s h h i o s p shoo, until the ar e alarm, stopped her, and took her into taken to the station rival of a policeman, by whom she or jumped over Mr. Hatcher. Hatcher seized her she street this day. Immediately house, and will be brought up were secured by one of his but teymf r ewfamination orshthrew the rings down, journeymen. The shopman's eye is much better, although now rather inflamed. .—TIIIS LONDON AND N O RTH-WESTERN RAILWAY construct an extensive hotel at Bletch• ley, which for ns c ompany propos: t o the junction point of several lines and the stopp i ng place o f .
