We regret to learn that the ar rangements of the theatre will only permit this opera to be repeated once more for some weeks, viz., Thursday next. After the opera Medlle. Marie Taglioni made her rentrie for the season, in are ballet of the Sylnhide, and never have we observed so marked an improvement in any artiAe in so short a space of time as in Mademoiselle Taglioni since last season. She left us a . clever dancer ; she returns an ac complished artiste. Al wa y s a perfect mistress of the physical requisites of her art, she has now added to beauty, grace, and to power, poetry. She has adopted the" grand" style of art, and proved herself, by her performance on Saturday, worthy of the name she bears. The Taglioni style of choerogrsphy will not abate one jot of its msjestic grandeur whilst alarie faglioni remains on the stage She was greatly ap plauded throughout. Her Rept' Highness the Duchess of Kent honoured the performance with her presence. rue suite in attendance upon her Royal Highness con sisted of the Baroness de Spetb, Lady Agns s fit uce, and Lord James Murray. The Count Othu Stotherf and the Count Rudolph Stotherf bad the honour of accom pany iug her Roy al Highness. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Msj If the Hen. James Macdonald, also honoured the theatre with his presence. The queen's box was occupied by the Mar chioness of Breedalbane, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementine Villiers, and party. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals also present in the theatre on this occasion were the following :—His Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Marchioness cif Douro, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, his Excellency the Russian slinister and the Baroness Brunnow, the Duchess of Roxburghe, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, the Marquis of Donegal, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Marquis and Marchioness of Aylesbury, Marquis of Douglas, Marchioness of Conyngham, Mar quis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Falmouth, Earl of Lonsdale, Earl of Wilton, Countess of Hopetoun, Countess of Glengall, Earl of Mountcharles, Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Cardigan, Earl Bruce, Coun tess Brownlow, le Marquis de Plessis, Count de Berke, Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, Viscount Enfield, Viscount Dupplin, Viscount Torrington, Lard Keane, Lord Mountstewart Elphinstone, Lord George Paget, Lord Ernest Bruce, &c., &c. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The first representation this season of Le Prophele, and the centres of Madame Viardot Garcia, attracted au overflowing audience to the Royal Italian Opera on Sa turday. The Fides of Madame Viardot is one of the greatest pieces of acting on the lyric stage , and she proved on Saturday that . she had not abated one jot or tittle of her power. In the coronation scene the was finer than ever we have seen her; she seemed to act more impulsively than was formerly her wont, to forget her personal identity, to give herself up more completely to the part, and the consequence was, that we had an increase of intensity and force with a diminu ton of exaggeration, which produced an effect perfectly sublime. Never have we witnessed any thing more touchingly pathetic than her rendering of the beautiful Ab, .non fil6." Mario, who in the early part of the evening seemed sufferiug from indisposition, warmed with his part, and gave the superb finale of the second act end the Bacchanalian sung in the filth with infinite fire and spirit. He iairly shared with Madame Viardot the honours of the representation, and was, at the con clusion of the opera, called on with her. The cast of the opera was, with a few unimportaet exceptions, the same us last year, and it was consequently given with a completeness that left nothing to be desired. Her Ma. jetty and Prince Albert honoured the performance whh their presence. The Queen and the Prince were at tended by the Viscountess Canning, the Hon. Miss Paget, Lord Camoys, General Wemyss, and Colonel Bouvirie. The Duke of Bedford's box was occupied by Lord and Lady De Leila:, and Lady Foulis and part>.

Rachel r,peated on Saturday the character of Camille in Les Boraces, with all the wonderful power, pathos, and vitality with which she alone has known how to animate the lifeless forms of the heroines of French classical tragedy. We still adhere to the opinion which we expressed in noticing a few days since her perform ance of Camille, that taken as a whole it is the most per fect and greatest of her delineations of classical tragedy, and we therefore hope that sue will repeat it at least once more before she leaves us.

He proposed to compensate for the loss of the canal tolls by taking measures to increase im mensely the trade of the St. Lawrence. Every member who spoke, during a debate of several hours, was in favour of some form of retaliation, some proposing dif ferential duties in favour of the St. Lawrence, others, the abolition of Customs, &c.

The very short voyage made by the Pacific bas had a favourable effect on the Cotton market, for as the Pa cific brought no intelligence of a further decline, the market hat been rendered somewh steadier, though at a low figure; and this steadiness has produced renewed sales of about 1 000 bales pr day.

Last week these ex ports exceeded two and a half millions of dollars from New York alone, and it is probable that the outgoings from other ports are a quarter of a million more. Another failure has taken place in New York, that of a stockbroker, caused, as usual, by over speculation in minusg, railroad, and other shares, and having no effect upon, or relation with, the cotton or other commercial markets.

VIOLENT STORM AT NOrTINGLIAM.-011 Friday afternoon, at three o'clock, a storm of hail and rain, of un usual violence, broke immediately over this town, deluging the streets, and sweeping everything before it. A great mass of water accumulated in Upper Parliament-street, and swept with overpowering force down Sheep-lane into the market-place, at a time when there was the greatest throng of business, pots and pans, fruit, vegetables, and other things, being carried away, and a large stream flowed out of the market-place down Wheeler-gate, filling the low kit chens in its course. The lightning was extremely vivid, and one flash struck a chimney on the south west corner of Messrs. Hodgson, Gregory, and Co's. lace factory, Canal street, and the electric fluid, passing down the chimney shaft, set fire to a quantity of cotton fibre. The room was instantly in a blaze, but it was fortunately discovered by Mr. Hodgson, and put out in a few minutes. Some of the hailstones were three or four inches in circumference, and were in shape something like broadbeans. The storm, which was confined almost exclusively to Nottingham, lasted but ten minutes, and was followed bya brilliant evening. A large number of Tama were broken, and the low kitchens in the streets, where there was the slightest descent, were filled with water.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster, before the LORD CHIEF j!JSTICE and a Special Jury.) MILNER V. L ARtUSON, EXECUTOR. This was an action to try the right t. , a patent taken out in the year 1840 for an alleged improvement in the construction of iron safes and boxe. for the preserva tion of books and papers from destruction by fire. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the alleged in fringement that the invention was not new, or of public utility, and that the plaintiff was not the inventor. Mr. Chambers, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Webster, ap peared for the plaintiff, and the defendant was repre sented by Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Knowles, and Mr. Ilindmarsh. The boxes and safes made by the plaintiff are well known by the name of " Milner's patent," and their peculiarity consists in the introduction of water and sone other absorbent substance, which keep the docu toents deposited inside in a moist state when the boxes are surrounded by fire, and protect them from the in fluence of the devouring element. The evidence, which was of a purely scientific and technical character, promised to occupy the Court the Whole day. MARLBRO'-STREE f--(THIS DAY•) ATTEMPTYD SUlClDS.—Jernima, Rusted, a girl about 18 years of age, was brought before Mr. Bingham, • charged with attempting to coawait suicide by throwing herself into the Serpentine, Hyde-park. Inspector Brandstorci. M division, stated that about halt-past ten on Saturday night he was standing on the north bank of the Serpentine in company with a ser geant, when he saw some person'come by the waterside and sit on one of the benches. In about a minute after he saw that the person had disappeared. This excited his suspicions, and on going to the spot he found a shawl and bonnet lying on the seat, and on looking into the river he saw a dark mass floating on the top of the water. He rubbed into the river, and after considerable difficulty succeeded in getting hold of the prisoner and bore her to shore in a state of insensibility, and as he had no assist ance immediately at hand, he pulled out his knife and cut open her dress. A police-sergeant shortly came to his aid, and the prisoner was taken to the Humane So ciety's receiving house, where the usual remedies were resorted to, and atter a short time she was so far re covered as to be removed to the workhouse. The prisoner, who refused to assign any cause for attempting suicide, was remanded for the attendance of her parents, who reside in the country. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. The thousands who daily resort to L indon, and who wish to see something betides the Crystal Palace, will be glad to h.,ar of a sight wnich th , y ought nut to quit the metropolis without seeing—we mean the Surrey Z ,ological Gardens. This Exhibition is of the very highest merit. The magnificent tableau of Rome, in its ancient grandeur, speaks volumes in praise of Messrs. Dauson's skill es painters, and the Colosseum is without exception the finest sp,citnen of pictorial illusion that we have ever seen even at theme gardens. the music, conducted by Jullien, delights every one who hears it, and Suuthey's fireworks insietain the character a the artist. There is no exhibition in this metropolis with claims equal to the Surrey Gardens for the sight-seer, the admirer of scenic art, or the lover of excellent music and pyrotechnic display.

The tulloeing le a detailed narrative of this shucking octurrence:— It appears that the works; which belong to Messrs. Goulstone, Seaman, Garrett,- and Co., proceeded without anything unusual occurring until about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, when, iu ascending the shaft, a cart load of coal struck the side and carried away a portion of the timber, immediately upon which the parties in at tendance above heard a quantity of earthwork fall, and upon en attempt being made to lower the cart it was found that it could not page as the shaft had been blocked up. Of course apprehensions of fl must painful kind were at once excited for the safety of the unfortucate men below, and ail possible means were taken to repair the shaft so as to get at them, but unfortunately the nature of the works was such as only to admit of three men working at the tinie, do that it soon beoatne appaient that very many hours must elapse before a peesage down the shalt could be oh:Rifled. As nearly as could be observed from an examination of the injury, it seems that the first pieces of timber, in their fall, must have knocked away other sets. The theft is about 135 fathoms in depth, and the falling in took place at a deptie_of about 90 al thorns, and from this for stbout 30 fathoms more the cow neuuication was suspended. This would bring one to the bottom of the first vein, and beneath that attain, where it was discovered all the men but two were, was a depth of 15 fathoms. Immedietely that intelligence of this alarming accident found its way into the diserict4 - the wives, families, and relatives of the men gathered round the pit-yard, giving vent to the most frantic cries. Men were stationed at the entrance of .the yard to prevent the ingress of the crowd, and as the door was opened to let any one Foe out it was heartrending to witness the.eager anxiety with which every bit of information that could be gleaned was received. One pour woman, sitting on the ground, with an infant in her arms, informed our correspondent with piteous cries that her father, son, uncle, brother, and husband were all below. From eleven o'clock in the morning, the time the ac cident occurred, till about halt-past nine at night, the distressing anxiety as to the fate of the poor fellows con tinued unabated. Mr. Goulstone, one of the proprietors, remained the whole of the time on the spot, superintend ing the exertions made to deliver the poor men. He endeavoured to keep up the spirits of the anxious in • quirers by informing them that in all probability the places whore the men would be at work were at points remote from the shaft, branching in different directions from it; that the roads were good, and even supposing, as there was too much reason to fear, that the fall of the earthwork had displaced the two air trunks which passed down the shut t, the water which ran into the lower level of the colliery would carry with it sufficient air to pre serve life even for days, as the pit extends about a quarter of a mile round. At half -past nine o'clock at night the men first succeeded in makin g any persons hear, and Mr. Knight, of Ashton Yale Colliery, with a very praiseworthy feeling, volunteered to descend the pit and see how things were going on. Upon his return he stated that be had heard some one below open the air hatch and close it, and that he had conversed with a man named William Braine , who was below the stoppage, and who, in reply to his call to hire, said, " We want lights and something to eat." All efforts were now made to pass lights, and although the men above must have been almost tired out, they set to work with an alacrity which refiscted the utmost credit upon them; lines were procured, and they descended into the pit with about 31b. of candles. All wat now anxiety and attention, shouting was heard below, and strong hopes were entertained that the next hoist of the bucket would put an end to all fears. Unhappily, however, such was not the case. The men at a quarter past ten o'clock we re again pulled up, when they stated that they had conversed with two men, William Braine and Morgan Phillips, who e ere in the top vein, Ind had passed can. dies to them, but that these men had informed them that they could not get to the tip leading to the lower vein, nor could they mike anyone below hear them. Thus things remained till past midnight in a state of the most painful uncertainty and upprehension as re garded the men in the bottom of the level, their lives of course depending upon whether they had ser or not. The men who were now in the pit were the men who went to work at six o'clock in the morning, and the fellowiog list of their names was furnished by Mr. Goulstone: —James Peddar, James tVellor, Jos. Britton, Jas. Weller, jun.,John Tuvey, Henry Gibbiega, Thomas Boult, Benjamin Weaver, William Braine, jun., William Bryant, William Samson, George Smith, Joseph 'covey, John Britten, Henry Clark, Samuel Sansom, Aaron Britton, John Rennolds, Thomas Sims, sen., Henry Woodbridge, William Braine, Morgan Phillips, William Hoskins, Charles James, William Gibbings, George Cole, Edward Ash, James Ridler, James Hell, George Edwards, Thomas Iles, Joseph Denison, Edward Woodbridge, Eli Stair, Samuel Star, George Willen, sea., Daniel Jefferies, Edward Gibbins, George Vining, John Stilayan, and Robert Harris. From midnight till atter three o'clock this (Satur day) morning the exertions of the men above for the rescue of those below continued until) ited, when they h ap pily succeeded in rescuing the two men, William Brains and :'Morgan Phillips, from their perilous con dition. Vie should state that a large number of men from other collieries in the neighbourhood were em• ployed, and they worked with the utmost ardour in the hope of rescuing, or at least obtaining tidings of the buried men, the wives and relatives remaining the whole period by the side of the pit, their feelings alter nating between hope and fear. Load after load of tim ber was used in repairing the sides of' the shaft, so great was the mischief done ; and what made the matter worse was that fresh quantities of earth were falling from time to time, and some of the men below asserted that they heard the sound of falling stones below the first vein, which of course descended to that in which the poor fellows were buried. At three o'clock this morning Mr. Rennolds, son of one of the proprietors of the Malego Coal Mines, arrived, and urged the immediate adoption of measures to bring_ up the two men, Braine and Phillips. He proposed that in addi tion to the ordinary pit bonnet, which is .a kind of iron shield suspended above the bucket to prevent stones and rubbish falling on the men when engaged in the act of ascending or descending, a second one should be pro cured from his own works, that these bonnets should be fastened to the hauling chain, and that either a small bucket or some nooses of cord, in which the men could insert their legs, should be appended at the end, the whole then to be lowered to the first vein, so as to give the two men the opportunity of effecting t h e i r esc ape. Some objection was tor some time entertained to this, as it was thought that the danger arising from the shattered condition of the shaft walls was so great that till they were repaired the men would be safer where they were. It was also suggested that by bringing them up they would cut off all chance of commenica tion with those in the lower vein, and many feared that the men themselves would shrink from the risk incurred by an ascent under the circumstances. iir. Rennolds, however, persisted, urging that the two shields would resist the fall of a ton or more of stones and earth, and that the worst consequence likely to happen was the fracture of a limb or limbs, which would be better than a lingering death. It was at last resolved that a brother of Phillips should descend and communicate the propo sition, leaving the decision to the men themselves. Phillips accordingly descended, and when drawn up be stated that it was the wish of the men that the attempt should be made; accordingly the additional bonnet was obtained and fastened above a small bucket; but here a e difficulty arose. It was necessary that some ono should descend in the bucket, and the majority of the men not unnaturally shrank from the danger. Mr. Goulstone said, of course, he could no t compel any man to risk his life, but hr asked implo ringly, " Will no one try to save them?" At fifteen minutes past four o'clock a brave fellow, named James North, volunteered to descend the shaft. Mr. Goulstone said he would reward him for his heroism, and he en tered the bucket and descended. The strictest silence was now enjoined on those who were stationed at the mouth of the pit, in order that there might be no diffi culty in catching she " bottom signal," which was shortly afterwards given, and in a few minutes more the two poor men, Braine and Phillips, were landed with their brave deliverer Nerd'. The excitement at this time was most intense. Cries of " Noble North" burst from many of the spectators, and a number even of the rude colliers were melted to tears. The poor fellows, when drawn up, looked very pale and exhausted, having suffered a good deal from the foul air in the vein. Brandy and water was administered to them, and, as soon as they had somewhat collected themselves, inquiries were made of them as to the probable position of the other thirty eight men below. Phillips, who is a Welsh miner, was interrogated through an interpreter, and he expressed a strong opinion that there was not a soul alive in the lower vein, for the air was so bad that it would be impos sible to carry a candle or to reach them. He added that he had crawled on his hand whe s and knees to the " tip" leading to the low er mine, re he had called out as loudly as possible, and had also thrown pieces of rubble down the shaft, but he could not make any one hear, and he much feared that no oue survived. Braine putty corroborated this, and said he also used every means to to attract attention, but without effect; but then he thought some furteer effort should be made, as the men might very possibly be gathered together at some distance from the tip shaft in the hope that it might be cleared and themselves hauled up. lie thought the air was not so bad but that it was possible men might live in it, and he suggested that a windlass might be taken down, and, if a candle would not burn, be fixed in the dark, when some person might descend a rope into the bottom vein and call or grope for the missing men. The intrepid man North again volunteered for the work, rand it was at once resolved that the experiment thus suggested should at least be tried. His example was speedily followed by five other men—who declared themselves willing to share the danger—viz., Francis Smith, William Smith, Samuel Page, William Cooper, and Richard Pike. Francis Smith and W. Page de scended first, and after reaching the first vein the bucket was returned, and W. Smith and Cooper went down next, and after them North and Pike. The bucket was subseqaently lowered down to them, loaded with a windlass, canvas to make an air shaft, some tools, and a strong rope between forty and fifty fathoms in length. Strict silence was again rigidly en forced, awe from the great depth, much dfficulty was ex perienced in hearing the signal, and the lives of the men might depend upon its being instantly obeyed by the en gineer. The spectators, in order that no sound might arrsat the attention of the bank-man, withdrew to a distance from the month of the shaft, where iu silence they awaited the result. A lengthened period was now passed in susrnse, but at 1 - ai,,th the men return- - d, huvinK been unable to accarupiish their undercaktia,, Tivi stated that the air was so hail it "a' impossible for th-ea to cal m• tight, alth, , uga they weio en soled io crawl thr.iti a ,h it, and tarn might live in it for ten or twelve hours. I•liirth said he v. as sadly strait the; all the men and boys were dead. ft.r he had ma' aged to cc awl to the moutil of the tip, whete he had nallooed ws bud us p waly coed, and had also hauitneted oa a piec.• 01 e kick for ten inthutes, c.aviog any answer. It was possible, however, that the air iu tn. bottom vein might be purer than above, and That the men might still be imprisoned alive thorn. They ail concurred in stating that the condition of the wall was so exceedingly dangerous that they durst nut risk their lives again till it had been in some measure repaired. At the same time they said they were willing to do anything they could for the rescue of their comrades, and another attempt wail made by them, but they were compelled to return almost immediately. It was now determined that the only chance lay in the work of reparation being proceeded a ith as quickly as possible. A large air shaft of canvas was passed into the pit, and messenga rs were dispatched to borrow several hundred yards of hose from the insurance offices at Bristol, through which air could be pumped into the vein so as to give ttio imprisoned men a chance of sur viving till a communiea'ion could be opened with them. Several hours were thus employed, and at a quarter before eleven o'clock this (Saturday) niorning the men were communicated with, and to the joy and astonish ment of toe crowds of spectators, they were reported to be all alive. The pleasing intelligence was speedily con veyed to their relatives and redoubled efforts were made to get to;thetn, but it was not till nearly seven o'clock this evening that any of them were brought to the surface. The three first brought up were James Peddar, James Weller, sen., and Joseph Britton, and as rapidly as possible all the rest were extricated. Many of them were quite exhausted, and it was evident that a few more hours would have produced the most fatal and lamentable consequences. The poor fellows stated that on Friday night they had abandoned all hope, and had betaken themselves to prayer. The air at times was so bad that it was with the utmost difficulty they could breathe, and but for the falls of earth, -which brought some air with them, they could not have en dured it so long. A good deal of credit is due to a man named Francis Smith, who, after the descent was consi dered too dangerous to attempt, consented to risk.his life, and did not desist from the work till he had succeeded in lauding 28 of the men. The other men most pro minent in their exertions were named Davies, Bolt, Wat son, Bateen, Joy, Marston, and Page. Mr. smart, sur geon, was in attendance with galvanic apparatus to render his services if required. The meeting of the poor fellows with their wives and families was truly af fecting, and a hymn of thanksgiving for their providen tial deliverance was sung. It is owing to a communica tion shaft being sunk from the top seam to the great seam, at a distance of thirty yards from the main shaft, that their miraculous preservation is to be attributed, the outlet from the great seam being blocked up by the rub bish fallen from the sides of the mein shaft.

The racing commences at half-pact two; the races will be run in the order I have placed them, and as there will be an interval of half an hour between them, the above information will be published in time to secure the attention of some of the " late birds" in the market. The King of Trumps will secure the trick for the Tyro Stakes to-morrow, Paddy Bird or Themistocles second, with Sir Charles Napier and Agnes Wicklield close up. The Northumbe. land Plate, in all probability, will be contested by Uriel, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b; Testator, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b; The Eller, 4 yrs, 6it 6tb; Jenny Lind. 4 yrs, Est 4th; The Under, 3 yrs, 5.t bib; or Knock Knoll, 3 yes, sst; England's Glory, 3 yrs, sst 61h; Luis Napoleon, 3 yrs, 5 6th; Neasham. 3 yrs, Sat 41b (o); Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, 4st 10ib; and Cyclops, 3 yrs, 4st 810. Another or two may ran, but possess not the ghost of a chance of altering the result; which, I fancy, will be in favour of Uriel, Testator, or Jenny Lind; TESTATOR for choice; with England's Glory and Neasharn (if they fancy running him on such a hard' course) immediately in the rear of the winner. They :nay run past the post thus— TESTATOR or URIEL ENGLAND'S GLORY or } NEA SILVA 2 JENNY LIND 3 ASETH, I presume., will ditto his performance of last year by winning the Second Triennial Pro duce Stakes. PITsFoRD ought to win the Guineas. The Free Handicap on Wednesday will have some seven or eight runners, with NANCY or WAL LACE the winner. GULLIVER, however, is worth a trifling investment, for he will be there or thereabout. The Third Triennial Produce Stakes will go to Evadne or Young Hawthorn, former for choice. I shall decline selecting the winner of the North Derby to-day, some doubts existing as to the starting of several animals. The Corporation Plate will be influenced by previous events, but the winner, I calculate, will come out of Dawson's stable. On Thursday we shall have COLSTERDALE No. 1 for the Gateshead or Lottery Stakes, with Pandemus or the Cutler second. The Members' Plate Handicap I should award to on© of the followicg three:—Abdallah, 4 yrs, 6st 91b; OXFORD BLUE, 4 yrs, Est 91b; or, THu CUTLER, 3 yrs, sst 121 b; the last two for choice. The Gold Cup will have THE MAID OF MASHAM or URIEL first; with, perhaps, Jack Leeming third. THE FARMER'S BOY reads the best on paper for the Grand Stand Stakes.

On Saturday Mr. Waktey, M.P., held a lengthened inquiry in the Middlesex Hospital, on Enoch Masters, a pouce.constable of the D division, aged 21, who, it was alleged, was murdered under the following oircum stancest—John Allsop, 653 A, deposed that on the29th of May he arrested in Salisbury. street, Lisson-grove, a man named Bailey, who was rescued by a large mob at the time. That deceased, who had been only ten weeks in the force, was passing to his home. Witness called upon the deceased to assist him, which he did, when the mob assailed them with stones and every species of mis sile. A labouring .:.an knocked down the deceased with a blow on his mouth. A body of police arrived at this juncture, when the deceased and witness attempted to arrest the labouring man, whom the mob distended, ivriking deceased a blow on the back of hie neck, which felled him to the grunnd and quite stunnstd him. The po lice arrested two men, but the party who assaulted the deceased escaped. Mr. George Corfe, resident surgeon, said that deceased was brought to the hospital on Satur day, and was treated for apoplexy, produced by a blow or fall. Everything was done for him, but he gradually sank, until Thursday, when he died. Witness made a post-mortem examination. There was no external vio lence on the body. There was a large abscess on the lower part of the spine, which was wholly diseased, and had been so for at least twelve months. The spinal cord was inflamed, and the dis e ased state of the spinal marrow caused death, which was hastened by the violence deceased had endured. Mr. Wilson, assis tant-surgeon to the police, saw the decea.ed the morning after the violence was inflicted. His lips were bruised and sna 'shed, and he complained of pains in his head. He never before complained of illness. He was kept on reserved duty until the sth of June, when he got so bad that he was released from all duty, and on Saturday last was sent to the hospital. He (Ur. Wilson) assisted at ttiepost mortem examination, and agreed iu opinion with Mr. Corfe as to the cause of death. Inspector Porter gave deceased the highest character for discipline and humanity. The Coroner summed up, and the jury re turnedithe following verdict—" Deceased died from the mortal effects of infi4mmation of the spinal marrow, but how the said inflammation was caused there is no evi dence to prove. Deceased was to have been married the same week. -- ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The quarter-past ten o'clock train on Saturday from Euston-square, when on its way northwards, about two miles beyond Wolverton, met with an accident, fortunately unattended with serious injury to any one, but which tor a moment excited the most serious alarm. From some unex plained cause the luggage on the top of one of the carriages caught the, and the flames spread with great rapidity. In one of the compirtments of the next carriage behind it were seated Mr. Buxton, Mr. Bass, M.P., and Mr. Cochrane, the active supeatendent in the building of the Crystal Palace, and ➢lr. Crampton, the engineer of the Submarine Telegraph Company from Dover to Calais. These gentlemen were on their way to share in the dinner given to Mr. Fox, at Derby, and while chatting pleasantly together were suddenly startled by hearing shrieks and seeing flakes or fire drifted across the windows of their compartment. Mr. Cramp ton guessing what was the matter, and comprehending at once the danger, with a coolness and daring highly praiseworthy, opened the door, and leaping from carriage to carriage by the aid of the footbridge, made his way past that which was in flames, and was approaching the engine, when he was observed by the guard and driver, who, as soon as possible, stopped the train. In the meantime his compa nions had a narrow escape of it, for the flames found their way into the compartment which he had left open, and set the clothes of the inmates on fire in several places. They had the greatest difficulty in extinguishing the sparks and Sakes of fire that had found their way in, but beyond some singes and a blister or two no personal injury was suffered. Had it not been for Mr. Crampton's presence of mind, how ever, very melancholy consequences might have resulted. Perhaps, when the ingenious conceiver of the Crystal Palace had been reduced to ashes some measures might have been taken to secure the long-desiderated mesas of communica tion between driver and guard of which this is another ex ample. As it was, all the passengers were greatly fright ened and several had to deplore the destruction of their lug gage. - - HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.--The deco rations of the Guildhall are proceeding rapidly, under the direction of the City architect, Mr. Bunning, arid in a few days more this vast chamber will present one of the most magnificent scenes it is possible to conceive. Great interest has already been excited among the public, and applica tions to view the progress of the works have been so nume rous that the committee are compelled to give a uniform denial to all, in order that the progress of the workmen may not be impeded. The arrangements for the reception of the Queen and her Royal Consort have been completed. Her Majesty, instead of alighting at the front of the Guildhall, will pass through the entrance to the law courts. and thence by a handsomely-decorated corridor, to a chamber at the east end of the hall, which will be fitted up as her Ma jesty's robing room. The exact period at which her Ma jesty will arrive has not been determined upon at present; but a strong hope is entertained that the Royal visit will be made before the shades of evening have set in. The Queen will proceed in semi state—that is, in the same man ner in which her Majesty opened the Great Exhibition, troops of the Life Guards keeping the line of road. The Artillery Company will form the guard of honour at Guild hall. Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, who furnished the du'euner on the occasion of opening the Royal Exchange, have undertaken to supply the supper and refreshments. It is understood that about 2,500 invitations will be issued, and of that number it is said the members of the common council claim nearly 1; 00. It has been hinted that the jurors of the Great Exhibition are not likely to be included in the list of invitations. It is to be hoped that this deci sion, if really arrived at, will not be persevered in. It is fully expected that the route of the Royal cortigi will be iiunduated by the tradesmen along the line.—Jforning Paper.

GREENWICH ELECTION.—On Saturday Joshua Morris, Esq., the returning officer for the borough of Green wich, pursuant to precept from the High Sheriff for th e county of Kent, gave notice that the nomination of a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Greenwich in Par liament, in the room of the late Mr. Barnard, would take place at, ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the 26th inst., on the hustings, in front of St. Mary's Church, Greenwich. A numerous meeting of the supporters of Alderman Wire took place on Saturday evening, at the Greyhound Tavern; the friends of Alderman Salomons assembled at the Stags. The great and nearly complete agreement in the political prinei pies of the two aldermen almost reduces the electors to seek the grounds of their preference in the more personal qualifications of the candidates. A very large number who would have supported Alderman Salomons a year ago, in the present posture of affairs object to a candidate who would in feel himself precluded from supporting the Govern ment its endeavours to repress the attempts of the Burnish oefccl liberty. Othersesiasticstoestablish an arrogant desp ,tism in the name well disposed towards Alderman Salo mons, and giving him full credit for the intention he has expressed of claiming and takin his seat in the House of Commons if elected, look at th e actual state of the law, and fear that his return would a representative to Greenwich. Mr. Wire has the advan tage of living in the borough.

A RUNAWAY TOWN CLERH.—The greatest ex walolulgden consequence of ex citement prevails in Tunbridge 1% ells in Benjamin Sears, the town clerk, having absconded. It ap pears that he has obtained money to the amount of above 2,0001. by discounting very recently, and that many respect able inhabitants of the town who placed confidence i n hi m will be brought to the verge of ruin. He was collector of assessed taxes. town clerk, collector of the gas and water companies, and held other appointments. It is reported he is a defaulter in almost every instance, and a warrant h as been issued for his apprehension, and placed in the hands of i Mr. Superintendent Moreton. A search warrant, tie said, has also been . granted to enable the officer to examine the premises of a relative in London. Sears is suspected of being in the metropolis, and Superintendent Moreton speaks con fidently of finally bringing him to justice. His income ex ceeded COL, a year. A LADY POISONED BY MISTASE.--DOVER, SArVaDAY.—A feeling of much concern has prevailed in this town bylthe following painful occurrence :—For several weeks past Pars. Eliza Prickett, the lady of George Prickett, Eaq.• of Castle-street, in this town, had been suffering from some malady which required the application of liniment, the usual caution being given by the medical man who supplied it. On Wednesday the lady was additionally indisposed, and Mr. Sankey, surgeon, prescribed an anodyne mixture. He left directions that, on requiring the mixture, she should ring a bell which cirimunica , ed with Mr. Pricker is apart ment, and that he would then come and administer it. In ste :d of doing so, however, she ruse during the night and took in mistaiie a large portion uf the liniment. The stomach pump was applied, and various restoratives, but she died under the effects ot the dose. Toe coroner's jury returned a verdict "'That the deceased was poisoned by ivadvertently taking a liniment containing morphine." THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY DINNER.— The contract for supplying this dinner, which will be pro vided for 2,000 persons, aed take place about the 15th of July, in a pavilion now being erected in the Home Park, has been given to M. Soy er, whose;tender, in reply to the ad vertisement ot the society, has been accepted by the com mittee. This decision has occasioned no small disappoint ment to the good people of Windsor, some of whom had made offers to the committee, and who, on the ground of their liberal contribution in aid of the expenses incurred by the preparations for the cattle-show, conceived themselves entitled to reap all the incidental benefits of the display. They will, however, have small om for complaint, since they cannot fail to profit largely lite the crowds of visitors who will be attracted to Windsor and its vicinity on the oc casion.—Sunday Paper. AN AMERICAN CLOCK.—Some rascal has stolen a Connecticut cluck front the New Fork Mirror office. Where upon the editor remarks: " All we have to say iv, that the eiuek never went &fore, and but for the principle involved in the case we should say nothing about it." LACE.—We cannot report any improvement in any department of the multitudinous articles made under this head, except, perhaps, a little more mand for silk laces, for which we anticipate au improved business during the season, as they have become a : ecessery article of ornam ent to the dress ot all ladies who desire to be in the fashion. All descriptions of lace male of cotton are in very moderate re quest—a circumstance not at all unusual during the height of summer. - Nottingham Journal. MR. PAXTON, ARCHITECT OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE• —Some thirty years ago, a young man, a gardener, who worked. for 12s. a week at a garden near the Duke of Devonshire's villa at Chiswick, live miles west of Hyde park, said or did something which offended the master gardener, and was turned off. He was standing unem ployed one day near the Duke's garden gate. His Grace, in passing, spoke to him, entered into familiar conversation, ascertained that he was a journeyman gardener out of work, and walking into the garden, the young man with him, was pleased with his intelligence and manners; not the manners of a sycophant sneaking up to the side of a nobleman with sycophantish words, but the manners of an intelligent man who knew his profession, and could speak about it unembarrassed to another, no matter whom. The Duke asked him to call at Devonshire House the next day, and the young man did, and the call resulted in his being sent down to Chatsworth, in Derbyshire. There he soon made way, and reached, as a practical and scientific gar dener, the very head of his profession, which position he had long maintained before he was known to the world as Mr. Paxton, the designer of the Crystal Palace.
