BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. MISSISSIPPI BONDS.—The recent decision of the High Court of Errors and Appeals of the State of Mississippi, the Court of last resort, has doubtless been received with great satisfaction in England. This Court has decided that the repudiated bonds of Mississippi must be paid ; and the decision is of the very last importance for several reasons. 1. The amount involved is large. The Union Bank bonds due the Ist of June, 1854, are $9,000,000 ; the Planters' Bank bonds, due also in 1854,are $1,606,000, leaving a balancenotyetdueofabouts2,ooo,ooo more. 2. This decision ends repudiation in the United States. From it there is no appeal. The tribunal is composed of three judges, elected by the people, with absolute jurisdiction over the case. Each of the judges sub mitted a written opinion in perfect unanimity as to the law and equity. 3. Since the enactment of the law by virtue of which this high court was created, the Legis lature has come forward very promptly, and made im mediate provision for the payment of every debt declared to be binding or due from the State. 4. Mississippi thus emerges from the disgrace which has covered her name, and justifies her friends in standing by her in her d si a n r c k e, hour. This act of atonement (for she pays interest and pri nc ip a l) near ly ends the black chapter of American repudiation ; and I cite it with the more gratification, since, my correspondence from the beginning I hat e constantly asserted that every State bond would ' ulti mately be paid, even those of Mississippi.—New Y or k Correspondent of the Twines. LON DON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER RUSSIA AND TURKEY. We subjoin a translation of the note addressed to the Four Powers by Turkey : " Translation of an Official Note, addressed by his Excel lency Redschid Pacha, to the Representatives of Austria, France, Great Britain, and Prussia, dated August 19, 1853 : " The project of a note which had been recently , drawn up at Vienna and remitted to the Sublime Porte has been read and examined by the Council of Ministers. That which had been recently drawn up at Constantinople and sent to the great powers, in a form such as was expected to cause the differences which existed between the Sublime Porte and Russia to disappear, created the hope of a satis factory result; but the government of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan is much pained to see that this project has not been taken into consideration. Although the project of the note formerly drawn up by the Sublime Porte in order to be remitted to Prince Menschikoff had been taken as its basis, as far as regards the paragraph of the project re ceived from Vienna concerning the religious privileges, the question has not been confined within this circle. Certain paragraphs, superfluous and incompatible with the sacred rights of the government of his Majesty the Sultan having been introduced into it, the Sublime Porte finds itself under the obligation of making observations upon this subject. The Imperial Government has been long accus tomed to receive proofs of friendship from the great powers, its august allies. It is particularly grateful for the many benevolent efforts which they have not ceased to make since the commencement of the present differences. It is then evident it is unwilling, in consideration of its private feeling towards these powers, to hesitate upon a point which . has received their common approbation ; but the government of his Majesty the Sultan, which declared at the commencement of this affair that it was the sole corn- potent judge of its rights and its independence, not having been, unfortunately, consulted in the drawing up of the new project, is placed in a difficult position. " It may be said that neither was the Government of Russia consulted on the drawing up of the project, but the rights which are sought to be defended are those of the Porte, and it is she who ought to sign the note which will be agreed to upon in this affair. It belongs to the great powers to judge of their acknowledged equity, and it is just to treat the two parties on an equal footing touching this point. It has been, consequently, not considered con venient to enter into details on this matter. " The first of the points which caused the Sublime Porte to hesitate is the following paragraph : " ' If at all times the Emperors of Russia have evinced their active solicitude for the maintenance of the immuni ties and privileges of the orthodox Greek Church in the Ottoman empire, the Sultans have never refused to conse crate them anew by solemn acts; " That the Emperors of Russia should evince their soli citude for the prosperity of the Church and of their reli gion which they profess is natural, and nothing can be said against it ; but according to the above paragraph it is understood that the privileges of the Greek Church in the states of the Sublime Porte have been maintained solely by the active solicitude of the Emperors of Russia. " It is remarked, moreover, that the fact of putting in a note to be adopted by the Porte the above paragraph, such as it appears in the project, respecting religious privi leges which have been from the reign of the Sultan Mah moud the Conqueror, of glorious memory, until this day, granted and maintained without any participation what ever, would cause embarrassment, and offer pretexts to the Russian Government to attempt to interfere in such matters. _ . " No person should consent to draw down upon himself the blame of his contemporaries, as well as of posterity, in allowing a state of things as hurtful to the present as to the future to be established. "No servant of the august Imperial Ottoman family would dare to put, nor could be capable of putting, in writing words which would tend to affect the glory of the institutions which the Ottoman Emperors have founded from a spontaneous movement of their personal generosity and their innate clemency. " The second point to be objected to is the paragraph of the note relative the treaty of Kainardji. As no one can deny that this treaty exists, and that it is confirmed by that of Adrianople, it is capable of proof that its precise stipulations will be faithfully observed. " If in inserting the paragraph above-mentioned, it was intended to consider the religious privileges as the natural result and true spirit of the treaty of Kainardji, the real and precise disposition of this treaty is limited to the sole promise of the Sublime Porte herself to protect the Chris tian religion. The paragraphs which the Sublime Porte would, in regard to in what respects the religious pri vilegos, insert in the note which she would sign, as she has at all times declared, not only by writing but verbally, would be to express assurances of a nature to dissipate the doubts put forward by the Russian Government, and which have formed the subject of these dissensions. "But to fortify by new ties the religious identity exist ing between a great community of the subjects of the Sublime Porte and a foreign power—to give to the Govern ment of Russia motives for pretending to exercise the right of watching over and meddling with such matters—would be in some sort to give to another a share in the sovereign rights, and to place in danger the independence of the empire. Thus it is altogether impossible for the Govern ment of his Majesty the Sultan to give his consent to it without being forced thereto. "If, in shOrt, the object is only to cause a renewal of the engagemouto of 1,1 , e treaty el Kainardjl, the Sublime Porte could do this by n separate treaty. " Now the Imperial Government attaches the greatest importance to this :—Either the paragraph of the project sent relative to the treaty shall be suppressed ; or else, if it is maintained, the promise to protect contained in the treaty of Kainardji and the question of the religious privi leges may be separated in an explicit manner, because it will be seen at a glance that they are two different things. " And the third point makes the Greek rites partake of the advantages conceded to the other Christian rites. It cannot be doubted that the Imperial Government would not hesitate to grant to the Greek rites a participation, not only in the advantages which of its own free will it has granted to other communions of the Christian religion professed by communities of its subjects but also those which may be conceded in future. It is, then, super fluous to add that the Sublime Porte will be justified if she cannot admit the employment of expressions so equivocal as those of the convention, or particular dispo sitions in favour of the great community of so many mil lions of subjects who profess the Greek rites. " Such being the points which present difficulties to the Sublime Porte, she cannot, notwithstanding her great regard for the advice of the great powers her allies, and her sincere desire to renew her relations with the Imperial Government of Russia, her friend and neighbour—she cannot, I say, do otherwise than confide to the equity and justice of the great powers the considerations relative to her rights of sovereignty and to her independence. " If the last note proposed by the Sublime Porte be accepted, or if the Vienna note receive the desired modi fications, the Ottoman Cabinet will not delay to sign one or other of these two propositions, and to send imme diately an Ambassador Extrordinary upon the condition of the evacuation of the Principalities. _ " The government of the Sublime Porte alio expects a substantial guarantee on the part of the groat powers against all interference for the future, and all occupation from time to time of the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. And the aim of the Ottoman government in fortifying itself with precautions to this degree, consists in the wish to shun everything which could bring about a misunderstanding between the two empires after the Sub lime Porte shall have renewed relations with the Court of Russia. " The points of the project of Vienna relative to the affair of the Holy Places, and the construction of a church and an hospital at Jerusalem, have received the complete adhesion of the Sublime Porte. "A. copy of the note of Vienna, containing also some modifications which the Imperial Government hasdeemed it proper to make, has been transmitted to your excellency. " The Sublime Porte, with the intention of giving one more proof of her particular regard for the powers signa taries of the treaty of 1841—although she would naturally prefer the project which she herself previously drew up — is ready to accept the Vienna note with the modifications which she has made in it ; and she hopes that the powers who have not ceased to recognise from the beginning of this question the rights of the Imperial Government, and to give evidences of their good wishes, appreciating these modifications, will act accordingly. " His Majesty the Sultan having ordered me to commu nicate the preceding to your excellency as well as to the other representatives your colleagues, I acquit myself of this duty, praying your excellency to accept on this occa sion, &c. (Signed) " REDSCHID." (Front the Times.) The Note addressed by the Porte on the 19th of August to the Conference at Vienna, in return ing with objections and alterations the draught prepared for its acceptance, was already known to the public in its principal conditions ; but we have now laid the text of this document before our readers. It will be found to confirm our previous statement, that, in addition to the required altera tions, the Turkish Government made its proposal to send immediately an Ambassador to St. Peters burg conditional upon the evacuation of the Prin cipalities, and that it also expects a solid guaran tee from the Great Powers against future inter ference, and against the renewed occupation of the Moldo-Wallachian provinces. These additional stipulations are, of course, highly important, but they are addressed rather to the Conference than to the Russian Government, and it appears to have been thought at Vienna that the most pres sing matter for solution was the acceptance of the terms of the draught note. On this pa r t of the subject the Turkish answer is feeble both in style and argument. The critics In London, who have exercised their ingenuity in picking holes in this compromise, have made out ap by year which to ieh us m a far bett er case f or th e T ur k s th an th e y h ave done for th emse l ves ; an d th e a lt era ti ons i n th e document oreariengeeunpipoeurstetdh.an Thethe arguments they first paragraph which they criticise they appear to have misunderstood, for they complain reads as if the privileges of the Greek Church in the East were solely due to the active solicitude of the Emperor of Russia ; whereas the truth is, that the paragraph distinctly declares and recites, that if the Emperors of Russia have shown their active solicitude on behalf of those privileges, the Sultans have been no less ready to secure them. The Turkish Government is entitled to the full credit of the concessions which have been made to its Christian subjects "since the reign of Sultan " Mahmoud, the conqueror of glorious memory ;" but it is notorious to all the world th a t th ese privi leges have been powerfully assisted by the " active solicitude," not of Russia alone, but of all the Christian Powers. For instance, ten years have not elapsed since the influence of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe obtained from the Sultan, as a remark able concession, that Christians who relapsed to their first religion, after having embracedand sub sequently renounced Islamism, should not be put to death, as the Turkish law required ; and not a month passes in which the Christian Embassies at Constantinople are not actively engaged in protest ing against some acts of crue l ty of i n j us ti ce com mitted on Christians by th e T ur ki s h authorities in the provinces. That sort of interference is not based on any diplomatic compact, but is constantly and vigorously exercised, and by no one more than by the British Ambassador, who has powerfully contributed to render the condition of the Christian subjects of the Porte less oppressed' and humili ating than it would otherwise have deep. Yet we are told that every one of those benefits is a pure emanation of the person a l generos i t y an d i nna t e clemency of the house o f O sman, that i s, o f a race , which, till within the -last 25 years , h as t rea t e d everything Christian with systematic insolence and unqualified ferocity. It has been generally thought in the West of Eu rope that the best and most iniportant of the pro posed amendments is the last of the five, consisting chiefly in the limitation conveyed by the words " Ot toman subjects;" for it ca tvof reasonably be con tended or admitted that thereek 'Subjects of Tur key ought to be entitled, as of right, to all the pri vileges a which may be conceded t o th e c h ap l a i ns or religious rites of foreign sects in the empire such las a French convent or an American mission ary's school. This was unquestionably one of the points on which Prime Menschikofri Note laid a trap for the Porte, and the Conference of Vienna do not appear to have sufficiently guarded themselves against misconstruction on so essential an article. But, curiously enough, this argument is not to be found in Redschid Pasha's communication to the Conference at all. The alteration was made, but imperfectly explained, and the subject has been chiefly elucidated by subsequent discussion in London. In the first part of this Note the Porte complains that the draught communication prepared at Con stantinople was not eve n t a k en into consideration by the Conference at Vienna ; but, as this docu ment consisted only of a short Note, enclosing a protest, and leaving the questions in dispute un touched, it was not thought calculated to lead to any useful negotiation. A more tangible ground of complaint against the Vienna Conference is, that it adopted a proposal to be signed on behalf of the Sultan without consulting the Sultan's Am bassador at Vienna. We think it is to be regretted that this Envoy was not called upon to give his opinion, as he might have anticipated or precluded some of the objections subsequently raised, and a mark of deference would have been paid to the Ottoman Government. The Note of Redschld Pasha now before us is addressed to the Conference, and not to the Court of Russia, with which, indeed, the diplomatic rela tions of Turkey are suspended. But, if this expla natory paper has been transmitted to the Emperor Nicholas by the Conference, we fear that it is even less calculated than the alterations in the Note itself to bring about a pacific solution. It is, in fact, more peremptory on some of the points in dispute than the correspondence of Redschid Pasha at a much earlier pei iod of these negotiations ; and it bears stronger marks of the influence of a party determined onittr. That party has long existed in the Divan, and per haps it has been secretly excited by the agents of Russia, who would hurry on the Ottoman Empire to its destruction. But its enthusiasm has been increased and its hopes excited by the display of barbaric force which the Seraskier has been able to make. The arrival of the naval and military re inforcements from Egypt and of some of the martial tribes of Asia Minor has still further increased this rash confidence in the strength of the Turkish armaments, and the cry of the Mussulman popula tion inflames the combatants in the field and the passions of the Divan. Under these circumstances the Vienna Note arrived, and after a protracted deliberation the efforts of the Ambassadors of the Four Court* failed to procure its acceptance. On the other hand, we still wait with anxiety for intelligence from St. Petersburg of the accept ance or rejection of the alterations by the Emperor Nicholas. A telegraphic dispatch reached London yesterday, via. Berlin, stating merely that the Russian Government had come to no decision on the Turkish modifications, the details not having yet reached St. Petersburg, so that it is probable some few days more must elapse before the deter mination of the Emperor can be d e fi n iti ve ly known. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) After many so-called final solutions, the Eastern question has once more reached a point at which the next move may really be fi nal ; be wrong to disguise the fact that it may also be but the first step in a new ser i es of negot i a ti on s and difficulties. It is impossibl e to ant i c i pa t e w ith any confidence a result whi c h entirely depen d s on the thoughts and passions o f one human b e i ng ; and it is well to be prepared for all the possibilities which may be involved in the transmission of the modified Note for the acceptance of the Emperor. If he possesses—not the magnanimity which flat terers, from interest or from natural bias, are ever ready to attribute to an absolute Monarch—but the good sense for which he has generally o btained credit, the probability must b e strong l y in faTour of his immediate acceptance of the modifications. Whether the suggested alterations are important or trivial, it is at least open to the astute diplo matists who execute the Imperial will to assume that they are merely verbal. It is only necessary for them to say that the inserted phrases are mere explanations, fully covered by and contemplated in the original text of the Note ; that to communi cate is to represent, and that to represent is to communicate ; that he who grants concedes, and that he who concedes grants ; and that the provi sions relating to the privileges of the Greek Church, though couched in general terms, mean exactly that to which the proposed phras e , cc subjects of the Sultan," definitely limits their s ense . All this the Four Powers have, by their tra nsm i s sion of the proposed modifications, already s h ow n that they assume ; and Russia may, with per f ec t outward consistency, concur in the assumpti on . If this be the result, all will be w e ll—as well, at least, as it can be under the circumstances. All will then be finally settled, so far as the imme diate occasion is concerned. Fortunately, it will not be possible to forget either the spirit shown by Russia, or the peril to which both the Ottoman Empire and the peace of Europe have been exposed by an unprincipled attempt at aggrandisement. No permanent barrier may have been raised against Imperial encroachments ; but a serious and memorable check will have been sus tained. The vigilance of Western statesmen must still be directed, without relaxation, to the Eastern horizon, where the present generation may yet be destined to see more than one cloud—no bigger, it may be, than a man's hand, and appearing, per haps in the form of a diplomatic note—and rapidly darkening and spreading into a storm of European war. But, for the present, the tempest will have blown over. to Russia This will be the case if the Emperor accepts the note, and the result will be due to the sense and spirit of our statesmen, and to the union of France i as they and England. But what if the modifications are refused ? Technically speaking,. as . was observed reed by our correspondent "M. P.," it is open to reject them, on the ground that the note which was ten dered by the Four Powers has been accepted, and that the modifications constitute a distinct docu ment.vert to their ir the formerw o rst , position, however, remainingthings is not so stood befere the note was framed. .Neither party will have literally accepted the . advice to choose offered ; and some new solution must be found. The Emperor Nicholas will have added nothing the strength of his case ; whilst h . e has shown that his confidence in the justice of his pretensions, or rather in his power to maintain them, entire as to render him wholly averse to a - compro mise. d E A u b ro ov p e ea a u ll p , ohweersis. stHilleihnasprsetppsiller:ee c l ie nt crisis precipitate between peace and war—between passion and in terest—between an acquiescence which may be eussions which covered by plausible self-congratulations, and a g a r n e a t. increase The naceorcollision with opponents who are strongeorfthpae him self at every possible point of contact.

For the pre sent, it is only necessary to illustrate the possibility of further negotiations by . suggesting that the Emperor may, perhaps, reject the modifications, not as inadmissable, but as tautological and super fluous. Such a declaration, embodied in a formal shape, would become an authoritative gloss, not less binding than the text to which it would apply ; but it would be necessary once more to remit the . question to Constantinople for a final decision. The solution which we suggest is one of many which would still posiipone a definitive settlement. These delays-and difficulties are the worst results which can at present be regarded as probable. We state them strongly, for we feel no desire to underrate them ; but still they are the worst. And in themselves they fall far short of the evils which would be involved in a general war ; again, there tre worse evils e - ven than those. It cannot be doubted that all sides of the question have received, and will continue to receive, due appreciation from the statesmen to whose bands are entrusted the interests and the honour of Eng land. Whether the reward of their prudence is yet to be deferred, or whatever perilouwalterna fives may yet test their courage and thei r judg ment, we shall not be forward to embarrass their exertions, or to accept the belief or assertion of faction, that those who feel most deeply responsi bilities so tremendous are therefore most ready to shrink before them. DINNER TO OENERAL SIR JOSEPH THAOK WELL AT OLOCESTER. • On Tuesday a public dinner was given in the Shirt hall, at Glocester, to Sir Joseph Thackwell, G.C.8., in testimony of the eminent military services which he has rendered to his country. About 200 gentlemen con nected with the city and county met to do him this honour ; the Mayor (Mr. Washbourn) in the chair, Mr. A. H. Philpotts, vice-president. It had been announced that the Earl of Ellenborough would take part in the proceedings, but the noble lord was unable to be present, a circumstance which seemed to cause considerable dis appointment. Letters apologising for unavoidable ab seece were received from Lord Shelburne, Lord Ducie, Lord de Manley, Lord Bathurst, Admiral Berkeley, Sir C. W. Codrington, Sir H. Johnston, &c. Grace having been said by the Rev. Dr. Claxson, The MAYOR gave in succession "The Queen," " Prince Albert and the Royal Family," followed by the "Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese." The MAYOR then proposed " The Health of Sir J. Thackwell," which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Sir J. TRAMMELL, on rising, was received with re- 1 peated rounds of applause. He said—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, permit me to offer you my warmest thanks for the honour you have done me in inviting me to this public dinner. Allow me to express to you, sir, my grateful thanks for the very flattering manner in which you have proposed my health, and to you all for the handsome way in which you have received the toast. It is impossible that I can follow the mayor in all he has said, but I am proud to say that I may consider myself an inhabitant of this loyal city. I was a resident in it for three years, and during that time I had the happiness to make the acquaintance of many gentlemen connected with it ; but it was impossible I could calculate on the high and distinguished testimony of approbation of my military services which you have this evening bestowed on me. (Cheers.) I may say, indeed, that this is my na tive county, and I will ever cherish with grateful re membrance the period of my life which I 'vent here. And if on any future occasion my country should call me again to active service —(a tremendous burst of cheering presented the conclusion of the sentence being heard.) This I may regard as one of the proudest days of my life. I have always considered that after the ap probation of his gracious Sovereign, that of his fellow countrymen was the most distinguishing mark of favour that a soldier could receive, and, therefore, allow me again to express my grateful feelings for the kind ap proval of my military services you have been pleased to bestow on me. The illustrious Duke, now no more, the gallant Anglesey, and Lord E. Somerset were my early instructors in the art of war, and it was only by follow ing the wise plans and counsels of the chief now at the head of her Majesty's army, then in India, and of Lord Gough, the Commander-in-Chief, that under the blessing of Providence the discipline and valour of the officers and soldiers of the Indian army insured the successful issue of all military operations in the battle-field. (Cheers.) I must here be permitted to observe that I have been exceedingly gratified by the observations which fell, a short time ago, from the Rev. Dr. Claxson. (Hear, hear.) Allow me again to express my grateful thanks for the approbation you have manifested of my services, and to wish you and this city every degree of success and prosperity. (Cheers.) Sir M. C. BOVEY proposed " The health of Earl Fitz hardinge," after some observations laudatory of that nobleman. The toast was drunk with the usual honours. Earl FITZHAREINGE returned sincere thanks for the manner in which his health had been drunk, and like wise for the kind and flattering way in which it had been proposed. When he first saw an announcement in the newspapers that this dinner was to be given to Sir Joseph Thackwell, though he was not in very good health at the time, he lost not a moment in writing to request that his name might be put down as one of the company, being anxious to join in giving a cordial wel come to the gallant officer, and to express his gratifica tion that they could claim him not only as of this coun try, but of this town. (Cheers.) No man was more thankful for the blessings of peace than he was, and he was happy to say, and he hoped he could say with truth, that they were now at peace with all Europe, and that war had now ceased in all their colonies and dependen cies. (Cheers.) But as they prized the blessings of peace so were they bound to return thanks to those by whom, under Providence, such peace had been obtained—and pre-eminent among their brave countrymen stood their honoured guest. (Cheers.) The Peace Society and their supporters were pursuing the same object which he had at heart, but they differed very widely as to how that object was to be obtained. (Cheers.) His decided con viction was that if their counsels were adopted the pro bable, if not the positive consequence, would be war and invasion. (Hear.) The greatest practical Peace Society that lie knew of were the crews of the Wellington and the Agamemnon—(cheers)—and the best guarantee that they had for the peaceful possession of their lives and their properties was that which they had hitherto pos sessed, and which they could still command—the gallant services of such brave men as Sir Joseph Thackwell. (Cheers.) He was, to use the words of the old ballad, one of those "gentlemen of England " who " lived at home at ease." For that ease he was enough grateful, and therefore he had come there to tender his thanks to their honoured guest, and to reiterate, with his whole heart and soul, that which had been so feelingly ex pressed by the Mayor—that he might long enjoy health and prosperity among his countrymen and friends, who never could forget the debt of gratitude which they owed him. (Cheers.) Earl 'FrrzHit . RDINGE again rose, and said he had to pro pose the health of a nobleman who, he knew, deeply re gretted his absence on that occasion, and who was unfor tunately absent on a moat mournful duty—that of at tending the last obsequies and funeral rites of one of the most gallant men England had ever known—he meant the funeral of Sir Charles Napier. (Hear.) He had to propose " The Health of the Earl of Ellenborough." (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with all the honours. Sir J. TRAMMELL said, the mayor had permitted him to propose a toast, which he hoped would be drunk in respectful silence. The qualifications and the exploits of the great Duke whose loss they all deplored were so well known to them that it was needless for him to say, a single word on the subject. He would, therefore, without a word of comment, propose " The Memory of the great Duke of Wellington," to be drunk in solemn silence. The toast was accordingly drunk in solemn silence. Mr. S. BAKER gave " The Members for the County of Glocester ;" and Mr. C. HAYWARD gave "The Members for the City of Glocester," both of which were drunk with great cordiality. Mr. W. P. PRICE, M.P. for Gloucester, in acknow ledging the toast, said, he had been frequently called on of late to return thanks for himself and his gallant col league (Admiral Berkeley), but he especially regretted the absence of his colleague on the present occasion, because he knew he would have been delighted to give utterance to the admiration and respect with which one gallant man was always inspired in the presence of another. (Cheers.) None could appreciate more highly than his hon. colleague the distinguishedservices of their honoured guest, and had he been present he would have given expression to his sentiments with all the frankness that belonged to his noble profession, and with all the warmth and sincerity of his heart. He cordially re turned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon them. Sir J. THAOKWELL proposed " The Health of the Mayor," which was drunk with loud cheering, and duly acknowledged by his worship. Some other toasts were disposed of, and the company separated. THE YOUNG PRINCES AT THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. — On Friday, while the Queen and Prince Albert were giving kind and interested attention to the more im portant sections of the Dublin Exhibition, the young Princes were equally close in their inspection of the toys. They made several spirited purchases out of their pocket-money—horse soldiers, peg tops, &c., the Prince of Wales being evidently a connoisseur in the last-named article. Coming up to a stand upon which specimens of bog oak carvings are exhibited, his Royal Higness selected an elaborately carved ornament, asking the price in quite a manly off-hand sort of way. The boutiquer in attendance, quite overwhelmed with the unexpected honour, answered distractedly, "a shilling," the real price being about 15s. The Prince, with a promptitude, worthy the future ruler of a great commercial nation, closed with the bargain at once, laid down his shilling, and walked off with his prize. This little incident may make the exhibitor's fortune, who is constantly surrounded by groups of the curious, and preserves the shilling under a glass vase, only to be shown to the most favoured of the customers. Both the Princes exhibit a right royal anxiety to promote the important manufacture of comfits in this portion of her Majesty's dominions. They were early visitors at Mr. Leman's laboratory, and particu larly admired a model of the Exhibition building in hardbake, but were strongly of opinion that an early demolition would be the most satisfactory way of dis posing of it.—Dublin Paper. • ri)RIOE SD. THE COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. CLERKENWELL POLICE-COURT. This court was densely crowded at noon yesterday, in consequence of that hour having been appointed for the examination of Richard Pardington and Joseph Wood, the driver and stoker of the engine of the ex press train by which the alarming collision took place at Hornsey on the afternoon of yesterday week. The Great Northern Railway were represented by Mr. Clarkson ; whilst the two prisoners were defended by Mr. Rawlings. The principal officials of the com pany were also present. The prisoners were charged with negligence, in jeopar dising the lives of the passengers who were travelling with them on the day stated. Mr. Williams said he could see the station signal 1,071 yards, London side. The curves would not in terfere with the sight of the danger signal. The Lon don danger signal is on the opposite side of the up-line. The semaphore means the danger signal. The two fixed signals are both semaphores on the London side ; the first is called the distance signal. George Borlase Child said, he was the surgeon of the City Police, of 11, Finsbury -place South. His atten tion was called to the sufferers directly after the acci dent. With the exception of Mrs. Harrison, they are all doing well. Mrs. Harrison is in a most dangerous state at present. Edmund Couter—Was station -master at Hornsey. Remembered the shunting of the coal truck at five minutes to five. The tender got off the hne. The danger signals were all put up when the coal train ar rived. There were four signals —two up and two down —before we shunted across the main line. Radborne held the points as the train crossed, and put the coals on the siding. The down siding is a short siding sta tion, but can shunt 50 trucks on the up side. Observed the tender off the line as soon as the engine passed. The trucks and engines were all safe, but the tender lost a wheel. The shunting can be effected in two minutes. When the wheels of the tender were seen off the line, he told Radborne to take the red flag, and run up the line towards London, which he did as fast as possible ; that was before five. Told Hickey to run down the line. He went to the telegraph office, and sent a message to London ;it was about a minute past five. Every other message was stopped, because he gave S. P., which means a special message. Near that time, as the express came up, saw a red flag taken up and waved by a porter close to his office. Saw several persons hold up their hands, as denoting danger. The speed of the express train had not been taken off when he saw it, as it came round the curve. Saw the express train coming before it reached the distant signal, which was about half a mile on the London side. From that time until the col lision he perceived no alteration in the speed of the ex press train. Observed the driver shut off the steam, and reverse the engin e , w h en near l y oppos i te t h e d oor of the station, which was 100 or 150 yards from where the wheels were off the tender. The engine was coming at between 30 and 40 miles an hour when the collision took place. When a driver shuts off the steam, we see it does not pass upward from the funnel. When the en. gine was coming round the curve, saw the steam coming from the funnel, as it does always. He reversed the engine opposite the door of the station, which would have been of no use if the steam had then been shut off. Cross-exa,mined. by Mr. Rawlings—Had been in the company's service about three years—five months as porter, and about two years as foreman at St. Neot's ; lie then became station master at Offord, where he re mained five months. Then he went to Hornsey about three months since. Had never known Hornsey station before he was appointed master. The coal train arrived at five minutes before five, but was due at ten minutes past eleven. It was the duty of the porter to put up the signals. He was at the back of the station when the coal train arrived. Will swear that the whole of the signaLs were up before the coal train arrived. If Radborne had said otherwise he was wrong. [The porter, Radborne, here said, both the signals were put up before the coal train was shunted.] Cross-examination of Mr. Couter continued —The time occupied in shifting and putting the signals up occupied about three minutes altogether. He telegraphed about a minute past five. When the tender was off, directed Radborne to run with a flag, but did not provide him with fog signals. The rules enjoin that fog signals should be put down when accidents occur. The ordinary train is due at Hornsey at 12.36. There were 10 or 15 minutes to spare after shunting, before the express train arrived. Magistrate—What use is it asking questions about the 12.36 train ? Mr. Rawlings said he wanted to show that there were different tables for the use of the public and the servants of the company. Cross-examination continued—Was on the down side when the accident occurred, and saw the express train before it reached the distant signal on the London side —it might be about 20 yards. Never saw a train pass the danger signal when it was up, although Radborne had said it was sometimes done. (Radborne here said, that he had seen trains pass the danger signals about 20 yards when the rails were slippery, but not when they were dry.] Cannot tell the cause of the accident to the coal train. Sent the red flag down by way of extra precaution, according to the printed rules. By Mr. Clarkson—lt would have consumed more time and impeded the course of the porter, if he had de layed to put down the fog signals. Knew the time be telegraphed by the station clock. Mr. W. Baxter —Am clerk to the telegraph office at King's-cross. The telegraph was at work at five o'clock last Wednesday. Received a stop to the working by S. P.—signifying special--which stops everything else. Received that message at one minute past five from Hornsey. The message was to stop the express. Rushed out immediately to the inspector, and then re turned to finish the message. The express train had gone—it was 200 yards off, too late to stop it. Cross-examined—Keep a book, stating the time of arrival of every message. Produced an extract, but the book was not here. He would fetch it. Archibald Sturrock was locomotive engineer. Knows the distant signal between Hornsey and London. It is ditant from the station signal 534 yards exactly. Knows the position of the tender where the ac c id en t occurred —it was 130 yards from the station to the point of col lision. The distant signal can he seen 510 yards by an ordinary sized man standing on the plate of the engine. That would make the point of collision 1,174 yards. An engine-driver could bring his engine up, if he observed the signal, before getting to the station,' travelling at express rate. He would have had more time to do so if he had been upon the look-out when the fixed signal was first put up ; he had time then to stop his engine before reaching Hornsey, if the rails were dry. Last Wednesday was a fine day. Cross-examined —Had had considerable experience, and had driven the Queen over that part of the line. Had often seen trains pass while the danger signal was up ; they were put up sometimes when a passenger was to be taken up. There is an inclined little beyond the signal post of about 1 in 100 towards Hornsey, in that part of the line. The number of breaks make a diffe rence in the stopping of a train, also the number of guards, and whether they were inside or out. The guard should obey the signal of the whistle imme diately—three short whistles, which is known by the guard to be an alarm signal. He appointed the drivers and firemen. Knew the fireman of the express train— he had been a very short time on this line ; he had until recently been only employed in the sheds of the company. It is of consequence to the driver to have an experienced fireman. It is possible for a fireman not to make a fire if an inefficient map is on the engine. The fireman was not in a good position. He is subor dinate to the driver. If the fireman put coke too near the tubes instead of the corners he would not get so much steam. Firemen are always removed when they do not agree with the drivers ; engine-drivers are under penalties if behind time—sometimes lose a day's pay. The coal truck was due in the morning ; the cause of the accident was that the piston broke. Why the tender was off the line was unexplained to the present time, so far as he knew. Re-examined—Had never received a complaint from Paddington as to his fireman, nor any complaint from any other person. Never knew a person so absurd as not to throw the coke into the fireplace. The fireman was very competent, and had been long engaged on the London and North-Western line in the same capacity. Great care was taken in selecting them, in order to in sure safety. The telegraph book was then produced by the clerk, who read the copy of the message. Mr. Frederick Davis—Does not belong to the Tele graph Company, nor yet the Great Northern Railway Company. Am a loather-dresser living at Luton. Was a passenger in the express train. Before arriving at Hornsey he saw a man with a red flag. He thought it was rather less than a mile from the station. It was before we got to the distant signal. The man was waving the flag. Heard the man scream out. Ex pected a check in the speed when he saw the flag, but there was none —rather an increased speed. Saw the man as the train passed, who was between the bridge and the milestone. It was on the London side of the corn-field. The time when he felt the shock after he had seen the flag was about two minutes. Did not discover the least checking of the speed until the collision. Cross -examined—Was sitting with his face to the en gine on the left-hand side of the seat. Was quite sure he saw the red flag before the train reached the signal. Was quite clear that he heard a man screaming. John Fordham—Am a grocer's assistant at Totten ham. WAs at the Hornsey station at the time of the accident. Saw the engine and tender of the coal trucks get off the line. Knew Radborne. Heard the station. master give him directions, and he in consequence went up the line with a red flag. Saw the man out of sight. (Great laughter.) He went past the cutting. After wards he saw the express train coming. The danger signals were up before the shunting. He himself saw the steam ascending over the hill, and therefore seized a flag, and ran up the line and held it up -as high as he could. The driver appeared to see him, and he then stopped. They did not appear to slacken the speed, but there did appear to be an alteration of some kind. The express train appeared to be coming at its usual rate. Saw the train the moment it rounded the curve of the cutting. When the train passed it was going very fast. The wind of the train compelled him to move slightly backward. Saw the collision take place. It was a very er one , but never saw one before, and neve r wi s h e d t t os rhl ee c another. Cross-examined—Was waiting at the station to reeeive a parcel. Saw the shunting. The coal train had arrived a few minutes before the shunting. One of the pokei s put up the signal when the coal train arrived before the shunting, but put up his flag in a few minutes after; the porter ran with his flag. Mr. Clarkson said that, before the witness withd.row, he wished, on the part of the directors of the Great Northern Railway Company, and on his own part per sonally, publicly to thank him for the great energy he had displayed when he saw the probability of a (elision. In this sentiment he was sure the worthy magistrate would fully coincide, as also the public in general. Fordham—Thank you, sir, for the compliment. R. Strickland was head-guard of theft-pro's down train. Was aware of the rule that three sharp bests of • the whistle would denote that assistance was wanted to put on the breaks. Such a signal was not given to hiUl on the day of the accident --at least he did not hear them. There were three breaks to the trait that night. The train was going at the speed of SO or-40 miles an hour. If any signal had been given he would have en deavoured to stop the train. It was a fine cl.v. Brad shaw, my companion guard, was injured. He hiinself was injured by jumping off directly after the collision. Cross-examined—lt was his duty t o l oo k ou t at a t stations, but he did not look out at Hornsey, and did not see the signal. He was sorting his letters and per. cels, according to his duty, (and, therefore, could not look out ; if he had looked out he could not give any signal. Had applied the break. Left ,fling's-cross at one minute past five, by his own watch, glad been guard for several months on the express train, but only one journey during the last month. That train usually passes Hornsey station eight or ten minutes after five. Re-examined—Was sorting my letters and parcels. The break was within reach of his hand, and he could have put it en in half a minute if he had heard a signal. He saw the tender on the line, and he therefore jumped off in order to save himself. Bradshaw and Marsh were both injured. Do not think either of them applied the break, as he felt no check. He was taken by surprise when he saw the tender on the line, and immediately put on the break. Mr. Sturrock re-called, and examined by the magis trate—The fireman is always subordinate to the driver. Is required to look out for all fixed signals at the station or otherwise. If a fireman perceived a signal that the driver did not, he should inform the driver. All signals / must be obeyed. Mr. John Denniston, superintendent of the Great Northern Railway Company, said that he was the esi tpreain. Wasrintenden f t o a f m th il e ia li r w ne i . Could tell, w h en r i ding i n a tra i n, if a b re ak were put on. Wa s not sensible of any c h ec k un til th e t ra i n was thWtashe a operation treveller o byf the the breaks. Could s pulled up by the collision. Had there been the sharp beating of the whistle, he thinks he should have heard it, but h e did not till, the collision ; he had no doubt about it. Did not observe any skn. The rails were not slippery, for he had particularly examined them. Knew ' the sp o t w h ere it was said Radborne had run to with his red flag, and believed the train might have been stopped without difficulty if the driver had seen the red flag, and if he had been doing his duty. He knew the spot thoroughly. It was the driver's duty to give the three beats of the whistle, when it was his duty to shut off the steam, reverse his engine, and put on his own break, so that four breaks would have been put on altogether. Fordham said the train consisted of seven carriages and three break vans, besides th e eng i ne and tender. Mr. T. Owen, recalled, and in answer to Mr. Raw lings, said--That he was locomotive foreman at Peter. borough, and had been so ever since the opening of the railway. Was at Hornsey station on Thursday last. Knew the distant signals at that station. Observed the part where the distant signal could be first seen coming from London. Saw the place where they told him the flag-man had been. Looked at the place where the signal could be first seen by an engine -driver corn ing from London. The line goes through a curve in a cutting at this part. The incline is towards Hornsey. In his judgment the driver of the express train might have stopped, if he had seen the signal as early as he could ; there would, however, be some difficulty in his stopping at the station. Am acquainted with engine driving. Was a driver 10 years. He paid attention to the fires on all occasions, and for that purpose opened the door and closed it, and took notice whether the fireman put on the coke as he ought. On some occa sions it was necessary for him to stoop down and look into the fire-box. The glare did not affect his eyesight in the daylight, By Mr. Clarkson.—Knows the distance where the man with the flag could be first seen ; it might be half a mile; the driver could have seen him fully a quarter of a mile. If the whole distance had been 1430 yards, there could not be the least doubt that the driver might have stopped his engine, if he had done his duty. Had no doubt he could have stopped his engine within 1174 yards. If there had been three breaks in the train, there was considerable power in the train , to stop it whenever requi re d. Th e t ra i n cou ld have been stopped within 1000 yards. Could look into the fire in five moments. Mr. Clarkson said, that he would have produced Brad shaw and Marsh, the other two guards, but they were too ill. He had, however, produced all the other wit nesses in his power. He did not know what course the worthy magistrate might think proper to pavane ; but, before he pronounced his decision, he thought it to be his duty to inform the Court, that the young woman Mrs. Harrison was, he was sorry to say, in a very bad state ; if this lady should die, why then the inquiry must be resumed in a very different shape ; although he feared what might be the ultimate result as regarded the life of the young lady, he very much hoped that the necessity would not arise. Mr. Rawlings, on behalf of the driver and stoker, said that it was his intention to address the magistrate upon the point of jurisdiction ; but if he intended to postpone his decision on the case, he would reserve his remarks until a future occasion. Mr. Tyrwhitt was quite willing to hear any observa tions that Mr. Rawlings might wish to address to him on behalf of his clients ' • but, considering the present unfortunate condition of Mrs. Harrison, there could be no doubt that it would be better to postpone his decision until it was known whether that lady would ultimately recover or not. Under any circumstances, however, he did not think it would be proper for any magistrate to take upon himself to decide summarily upon a case of such importance to the public. It ought most certainly to be decided by a jury, and that a jury directed by one of the judges at the Central Criminal Court. Sufficient evidence bad already been produced by Mr. Clarkson to decide him upon sending the case to a jury ; he would not, however, under the circumstances, give his decision that day, but postpone it till Wednesday next, when Mr. Rawlings would have the opportunity of ad dressing him, if he thought proper to do so, on the point of jurisdiction ; but he had not himself the remotest in tention of deciding the case under a mere penalty clause —the case was far too important for that. After some conversation between Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Rawlings, it was agreed that the further considera tion of the inquiry should be formally postponed till Wednesday next ; but then to be further prorogued till Tuesday, the 20th instant. The magistrate then directed the bail of the prisoners to be enlarged till the 20th of the present month. LIVERPOOL, IV ednesday.—The United States mail steam-ship Artic, Luce. commander, took her departure hence to-day for New York, with about 140 passengers, a full cargo, and the usual mails on hoard. The clipper. ship Sovereign of the Seas, belonging to Messrs. Baines and Co.'s Black Ball line of packets, sailed hence for Melbourne, this afternoon, with the largest and most valuable cargo of merchandise ever shipped in one bot tom from any port in the world. The measured ton nage of her cargo was upwards of 2,700 tons, which gives her a freight list of nearly 15,0001. ; while its estimated value is over 200;000/. In addition to her cargo she had 21 first-cabin, and 40 second-cabin passengers on board. She was very deep, her keel being 22i feet be low water. TUE WORKS AT WESTMINSTER PALACE.
