The importance of the revolutionary outbreak in China can scarcely be over-rated. Whatever the result of the movement, it must at any rate waken from the torpor of centuries one-third of the earth's population. It must rouse nearly 400,000,000 of people to a consciousness of the benefits of civilisation, if not actually to a recog nition of the blessings of Christianity. In speak ing thus we are not guilty of any exaggeration. The magnitude of the insurrection is as indis putable as the territorial vastness of the Celestial Empire, or as the numerical strength of its in habitants. According to the statistical chart of the provinces it is estimated that there are, in China Proper alone, no less than 36 7,632,907 inhabitants : while in the surrounding dependen cies, such as Tibet, Turkestan, Mangolia, and Mantchooria, there are, at a moderate computa tion, 30,000,000 additional—constituting alto gether, as we have said, the enormous aggregate of 400,000,000 people hitherto owning obedience to one Government. A wonderful division has, within the last two years, started up in the midst of this gigantic multitude. An adventurer of surprising , energy, of indomitable resolution, and of irresis tible self-reliance, has within an incredibly short space of time collected together a vast army, and conducted them heretofore in a march of uninter rupted triumph against the forces of the Chinese SOVEREIGN. Already, it has been remarked, that one half of the ancient empire has fallen into the hands of this indomitable Leader of the Revolu tionists. It has been observed that he has so far cared for the sustenance of his armed adherents that he has even now accumulated in the " Holy City" of Nankin alone, 150,000 tons of rice for the purpose of future consumption. It has been seen, moreover, that while thus having regard to their bodily comfort, he has inflamed the hearts of his disciples to a surprising pitch of fana tical ardou r , by revealing to them the con solatory wisdom of Revelation and the ineffable loveliness of Christianity. Such, up to this moment, have been the proceedings of the Prince of Universal Peace, the redoubtable Ciroo, or 4i Lord," Humc-su-etium, better known among his followers as the great TAE-PING-WANG Such has been the direction of that extraordinary poliCy by which he has contrived thus rapidly to bring d o bring so . many millions und er hi s threaten the entire race of Mantchoos with n to a war of extermination. As indicative, in an unanswerable man, er of the scope of this revolutionary outbreak among of th e Chinese, the extent of the em • w h ich they are the inhabitants may be regarded at this time, we conceive, not altogether unprofitably. i t must beremembered that within littlemorethan two years, half of this same empire has been brought under subjection by theforces of TAE-PING-WANG ! And what are the dimensions of the territory thus speedily conquered ? It is an old tale to the geo graphers. But to a considerable portion of even the educated classes of the community, we doubt not, but that some few of the particulars connected with this inquiry may appear almost beyond the limits of credibility. It may seem scarcely credi ble, for example, though it is simply a matter of fact, that the empire, half of which has been already vanquished by TAE-PING-WANG, extends through ro ugh about thirty-five degrees of lat itude, and . .Y about sixty-five degrees of longitud e. A territ o --, in length about mile s, in breadth about 2,000 • 3,000 miles, in area about 5,000,000 s q uare miles l This, of course, including the several d e p en dencies —China Proper alone, how ever, covering some . 1_ the aggre ga t e . so 1,300,000 s q uare miles in extrao r dinary, indeed, is the extent of territory embraced unde r th e titl e o f the that it Celestial En4i re , has b een d escr ib e d as degree, diversified to such a ~4 both i n aspect an d c limate, that it comprises the livaady plains of e tracts similar t o Holland—othersa--t withfertile the he mou ntains and valleys of Switzeri n d ,idai iie n c so -f—t Lli e om d b re a a r i d y y---'- ste t p h p e es ch of am lasia----gne country of ,'.France- - the the san d y ,deserts of Africa—and the beautiful hills and ':lales, the . corn and wood lands of our own in comparable country." All these varieties of aspect, all these diversities of climate, in an empire inhabited by one race, having one history, speaking one language : a race, howbeit, no longer owning allegiance to one man, or acknow ledging belief in one religion. For, on this side, the northern moiety of China is under the autho rity of the Emperor, while on that the southern acknowledges obedience to the CHOO TAE-PING WANG. Here the believers in Buddhism—there the Asiatic neophytes of Christianity. Yonder the Idolater, and yonder again the Iconoclasts. Per haps a yet more startling indication of the size of China Proper may be discovered in a separate consideration of the extent of its various pro vinces. Let it be considered, for instance, that the single province of Chih-li, or Pe-chele, or as it was anciently called Yu and Yeu, is as large as Michigan, or Arkansas in the United States, or (to bring the matter nearer home) about the size of England and Wales together ! This, recollect, a single province. Shantung, again (another province), has been correctly described as about the size of Georgia in America, or of Wales in Great Britain. Keang-seo and Gan-hwuy—formerly united in the one province of Keang - nan —are estimated as about half as large as Sp ain ! Kiananother province, is described as comparable in extent to Virginia, U.S., or as twice the size of Portugal ! Through another province, that of Shan-se, the yellow river, or Hwang-ho, runs for 180 miles ! A n d so on with the rest of the divisions of China. A territory so vast and so populous, and yet one half of which has a l rea dy been subdued by the foes of Buddhism, the assailants of the Tartar dynasty, the extermi nators of the Mantchoos, the followers of TAE PING-WANG, the newly-enrolled believers in Chris tianity! Bearing facts like these in our remem brance, we cannot be regarded as extravagant in estimating the Chinese Revolutionists as the pioneers of Oriental civilisation. The Government of India Bill was, on Friday night, read the third time in the Upper House, and to-day the Lords' amendments will probably be taken into consideration by the House of Com mons. The most important of these alterations, indeed the only one of any consequence, or calcu lated to excite a discussion, is the omission of the 44th clause, which had been introduced on the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Droitwich, but which was negatived without a division, with scarcely the expression of an opi nion in its favour by their Lordships. It now remains to be seen whether the popular branch of the Legislature will yield on such a question to a body not one-fifth of which could, or would, be brought together in the month of August on even the most important question of the session. Whe ther those who, by an overwhelming majority, had affirmed the principle of " unrestricted compe tition," will stultify themselves by submitting to the maintenance of the most grinding and vexa tious monopoly ever enforced upon a suffering people. A monopoly under which the price of an article of primary necessity to more than one hun dred millions of human beings, is increased in a tenfold ratio, by which salt, the only condiment with which the miserable Ryot is enabled to fla vour the coarse and tasteless rice which consti tutes his food, and which is no less essential to his health than to his comfort, costs in the inte rior of India 201. to 251. per ton, although in England it can be sold at 75., and landed free in Calcutta at 40s. per ton. Astonished and grieved as we have been, at the subservience exhibited by the chosen representatives of the people, in relation to this very measure, we cannot suppose that they will be indifferent to their own dignity, their own independence, and their most cherished privilege. Yes ; we repeat "their most cherished privilege," for we contend that the Lords have no right to interfere in any measure relating to the taxation of any body of her Majesty's subjects, whether resident in Hindostan or in the United Kingdom ; and that such interference should be promptly and vigorously resented, and unless clearly ex plained and fully retracted, should insure the re jection of the entire bill. The House of Commons has invariably, from time immemorial, acted as the guardian of the public purse, as the protector of her Majesty's subjects from fiscal tyranny, and fiscal extortion- Without its consent no tax could be levied. And even if previously in existence, it decided that it should cease and terminate—it would not en dure the rejection of the proposition by the House of Lords. On financial subjects it claimed and exercised supreme authority, and exhibited a peculiarly sensitive feeling at any appearance of tampering with its Constitutional function. The tacking on of a money clause as a rider to any bill, was a significant hint that no tampering with, or mutilation of, the measure would be sanctioned. What, however, will be thought of the independ ence or spirit of its Members if they submit patiently to the striking out of the money clause and accept the measure as amended by the Upper House ? We should be loath to impute such a degeneracy to those who occupy the seats once filled by really determined and energetic men. What, after all, is the question to be decided ? The Charter of the East India Company will ter minate next year, and with it the right of taxing one hundred and fifty millions of her Majesty's subjects. It is necessary that there should be some renewal of that Charter, either with or with out modification, the substitution of some other governing body, or the assumption of the supreme power, by or in the name of her Majesty, without the intervention of any other authority whatso ever. The House of Commons decided in favour of granting a modified Charter to the East India Company, clogged with certain conditions, one of which especially related to fiscal matters, and might therefore be looked upon as peculiarly within I the province of the representative branch of the Legislature. This condition was, that the manufac ture and trade in salt, which had been carried on by the East India Company in violation and defiance of a clause contained in the existing charter should, after a certain time, be relinquished, and that the manufacture and sale of salt in India should be absolutely free, subject only to such Excise or other duties as may now, from time to time, be levied upon such salt so manufactured. It will be seen that the House did not go by any means as far as it might have done. It would have been justified in declaring that the iniquitous impost, by which the health and lives of so many of her MAJESTY'S subjects were sacrificed should cease ; that a tax as odious as one on potatoes in Ireland could or should be totally abolished. In place of so doing, it merely decreased ; the ter mination of the monopoly exercised by the Com pany giving a reasonable time for winding up its affairs. It alluded to the enactment passed twenty years ago, by which the Company provisi on sh ° 111 ( 1 " with all convenient speed close their com mercial business," and decided that the salu tary should decision Was Kingdom. To the former equally due to the people of Hindos- tan and of the United in order t o insu re unadulterated an adequate supply of a good article at as moderate a rat e as the local diff icu l t i es andlie enormous amount of the tax still sanctioned latter in order th a t the would permit ; to th e fory ehould not be deprived one of an important marketof th e i r ar ti c l es o f produce, whence a constant and large demand might be anticipated. But theliou t s h e e of sal L u o ta rd ry s have wantonly and wilfully abrogated provision. They have interfered on a fis ca l sub ject on which Hindoos a n d Englishmen wer e con cerned, and nothing now remains but that th e House of Commons s hould assert its undoubted privilege, and maintain its independence uniin_ paired—that it repel the unjustifiable and un warranted invasion of its rights. THE CAMP AT CIIODIIAM. —The public interest in the camp, instead of subsiding, appears to increase, now that its days are numbered. On Saturday;, although in paint of military manoeuvre , a n "off day, the ground was visited by many thousands of persons. The camp will finally break up on Saturday next. OFFICIAL A PPOIN TMENTS. —Thelion. Frederick Bruce, now Charge d'Affaires and Co nsul-General to the Oriental Republic of the Uraguay (Monte Video), is ap pointed her Majesty's Agent and Consul-General in Egypt.ten Mr. Richard Birnie, of the Inner Templ e, is 7, b - se cn rver d Advocate-General for Western Australia.— CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, (THIS DAY•) OLD COURT. The August sessions of the Central Criminal Court were opened this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Commissioner Gurney, Aldermen Moon and Carden, and the Sheriffs of Lon don and Middlesex. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 137 prisoners, of whom 56 are from London, 60 from Middlesex, 3 from Essex, 2 from the Admiralty, 7 from Kent, and 9 from Surrey. The grand jury having been sworn and empannelled, The Recorder proceeded to deliver his charge. He said he was happy to tell them that their labours would not be very protracted, as the calendar was, compara tively speaking, light. The numbe r o f p r i soners was c onsiderable, which was no doubt owing to the long in terval of time which had elapsed since the holding of the last session ; but the great majority of the cases were of the ordinary character, and involved no points of legal difficulty. There was no case of wilful murder, or of the graver description of offences ; and although there were two cases of manslaughter returned upon the coroner's inquisition, he thought that in one of them at least th ere was no t su ffi c i en t ev id ence to justify the finding of the coroner's jury. And so it seemed the coroner himself thought ; but coroners' juries were sometimes too prone to take the law into their own hands, and return verdicts which the evidence could not support. There was one case in the calendar which it was necessary that he should draw their especial attention to. It was the case of a person who was charged with having attempted to conspire with others to take away the life, or rather to murder a foreign So vereign. Our constitution took no notice of the political offences which foreigners might have been guilty of abroad, but readily afforded them asylum when they were compelled to fly from their native homes ; but while they were partaking of our hospitality it was re quired of them that they should conform to the laws in all respects, and in the same manner as the rest of her Majesty's subjects. Well, then, there could be no doubt that if a British subject conspired or attempted to conspire to take away the life of a foreign Sovereign he would be guilty of a misdemeanour, and there could be no doubt that same law applied to a foreigner while he was living under the British Constitution. Now, in the case in question, the prisoner was charged with having at tempted to get up a conspiracy to murder Louis Napo leon, the Emperor of France, and if the jury found that the evidence made out that he had attempted to induce others to conspire for that purpose, it would be their duty to return a true bill against him. There was no other case which called for any comment from him before dismissing the Grand Jury to their duties. The learned Recorder congratulated them upon there being a pro spect that betting-houses would shortly be suppressed, and explained the nature of the change that was about to take place in the law with regard to the punishment of transportable offences. The Grand Jury then retired. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1853. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. Leon Nathan, a Dutch Jew, was placed at the bar be fore Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing a purse con taining 431. in gold, and seven shillings in silver, the property of Mr. J. Solomon, of E 21, Poland-street. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that on Saturday morning last, the defendant, whom he looked upon as a friend, partook of breakfast at his (prosecutor's) residence, and, while there, prosecutor had occasion to take some silver from a purse which contained the sum named in the charge, and which he afterwards deposited in a table drawer in the room. The prisoner, having finished his breakfast, left the house, and directly he was gone he missed the purse and its contents. He immediately procured the assistance of King, an active officer of the C division, and they both went in pursuit of the prisoner, whom they traced to London-bridge Wharf, where he was taken into cus tody. A portion of the stolen money—amongst which was a cracked sovereign, which prosecutor identified— was found upon him. On the application of Police-constable King, Mr. Hardwick remanded prisoner for a week. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AUG. 13.

Her Majesty will be attended by the Duke of Newcastle, one of the principal Secreta taries of State, and by the Lord Chamberlain, the Mar quis of Breadalbane. The Queen will remain at the Viceregal Lodge till the end of the week, when she will proceed on her annual visit to the retirement of her Highland home.—Observer. COLLISION AND Loss OF A LARGE ►STEAM-BOAT, Last night (Sunday), about half-past eight o'clock, a fearful accident took place on the river Thames, near London-bridge, which has resulted in the sinking of the Niobe, London and Woolwich steam-boat, and serious injury to the Regent, trader from Maidstone to London. It appears that the Regent was proceeding up the river with a full cargo, being towed by the crew with the aid of their boat, when in passing under the bridge the men espied the steam-boat making way towards them. They therefore cried out to the people in the steamer to alter their course, but before that was done the Niobe and the Regent came into violent collision with each other, so much so that when they struck they made a noise like the discharge of a gun. It was soon seen that the steam-boat was the most injured of the two vessels, for almost immediately afterwards the waters rushed through the bottom of the boat, and fears were enter tained that she would sink before those en board would have time to reach the shore. She was at once run under Mr. Alderman Humphery's wharf; where she sank, those on board (fortunately consisting of the crew only) having barely sufficient time to get on land. The other vessel, it is stated, has also received consider able damage, but was able to proceed on her journey. It is exceedingly fortunate that the collision did not take place an hour sooner, when the steam-boat would have been crowded with passengers, for if such had been the case, the loss of l ife, in all probability, that would have occurred, would be fearful to contemplate. Which of the two vessels was the cause of the accident, is at present unknown. A DANGEROUS ANIMAL.—About 8 o'clock on Satur day evening last Mr. W. M. Axe, of Doncaster, was attacked in a most furious manner by a thorough-bred entire horse, and very seriously injured. It appears that Mr. Axe was about to send the horse out for exercise, and a boy had mounted the animal in the yard, when Mr. Axe proceeded to take up the stirrup-leathers. While so engaged the horse suddenly turned his head and seized Mr. Axe by the thigh with his teeth, and dragged him with great force to the ground. The infuriated animal then dropped with his knees upon Mr. Axe, and in doing so threw the boy over his head, who managed to scram ble out of the way. The horse then commenced worry ing Mr. Axe, and in an instant tore offhis trousers, coat, and shirt, when fortunately at this juncture Mr. Joseph Axe, who had heard his father cry out, came up the armed .t with a stable-fork, with which he struck the sa s, and vajm • to relinquish its hold. The blow, however, brought eh a rst a violent blow but even this did not compel the drop. anudecatrhreiendhimaout heldfour yards before r helethim is animal on to its legs, but he still Mr. Axe in 1 - 1 . hind leg teeth, turned round and struck out with his fortunately, he happened kicked Mr. Axe in the face ; but, that the blow onlyapiened to be at such a distance Axe then boldly took effect slightly. Mr. Joseph approached the animal,andsucceeded in securing him and taking him ou', his doing further injury, x l l 3ack to the stable with r.

Chronicle. MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 Ame rican were taken for export. The market was tame at previous rates. The sales comprised 6,000 Ame rican, 600 Pernam and Maranham chiefly at 711, 100 Bahia at 6d.., 500 Egyptian at eid to 9d., and 500 Surat at 30. to sd. per lb. Railway shares were flat. The Corn market has been very dull, and prices generally have been is. to 2s. per qr. lower. The accounts from Birmingham with respect to the iron trade are satisfactory. The works are well supplied with orders, all hands fully employed and the workmen satisfied. _The dearness and scarcity of fuel, however, is still felt. Various old works, for some time idle, are being repaired, and preparations are being made for extended operations. The intelligence by the Overland Mail concern ing the Indian markets is not very satisfactory in the matter of imports, and produce ruled compara tively high. The China trade, however, is in a still more critical position. Availing themselves of the existing political troubles, the native mer chants were exacting high rates for produce ; and owin g to the competition among the foreign houses, these they were enabled to maintain. A difficulty existed in bringing produce from the interior to the ports of shipment; for although the " patriots" were generally triumphant, there seem to be marauding bands, belonging probably neither to them nor the Imperialists, who robbed the waggons, dm., on their way down. Many parties seem yet doubtful of the result of the warfare carried on. As to imports, the purchases were very limited, and great caution seems requisite in sending out consignments. At Singapore the markets were dull, but con siderable animation was expected upon the return of the na Eive traders with produce from the various ports in the Archipelago. Produce was in good demand. Exchange on London, Oriental Bank, six months, 4s. 9i E d. Tonnage was in demand at 4/. to 4/. 10s. to ngland. _ _ _ _ Piracy was extensively carried on in the Gulf of Siam and the China Seas. Sir James Brooke had been seriously ill, but was recovering at the latest date. The Australian advices to May 31 from Sydney are very good, but the supply of merchandise was increasing. The Adelaide steamer would need re pairs before returning to England. Very few let ters have been received, and the bulk probably will come in a few days, via Southampton. The English funds are heavy this morning, prin cipally owing to the alleged greater demand for money. The bankers, however, are very full of cash this morning, and disinclined to give such high rates on " call." Consols have been at 98 to all the morning.

" 111. The capital of the bank shall be represented by 6,000 shares of $l,OOO -each. It is an obligation on the proprietors to keep open for the public for the space of six months the sale of half at least of these shares, in order that all who desire so to do may buy and become participators in the bank. During that period the shares cannot be sold to the public for more than the value they represent. "IV. The bank to have the legal title of Sociedad Anonima' Joint Stock Company ; consequently, the pro prietors and such persons as may at any time take shares are responsible for the operations of the estab lishment to the extent of the sums which their shares re present. This being done, their responsibilitymeases. "V. The operations of the bank with the commercial body and with private individuals are to be— "l. Exchange operations in money between one place and another on stipulated terms. " 2. To discount bills, promissory notes, &c., in the city of Mexico. "3.

To receive money on deposit at call, charging a commission. " 5. To receive extra judicial deposits which may be confided to them, of money, bars of gold or silver, and precious jewels. There can also be placed in the bank judicial deposits, always with the sanction of both con tending parties, each to pay a commission. "6. To make private loans on golden ornaments, sil ver, pearls, or precious stones, and upon bars of gold and silver, charging interest, which shall not exceed the rate charged by the Monte de Piedad' (Government pawnbrokers). "7. Likewise to make loans upon State paper and undertakings duly accredited, and upon articles of mer chandise of ready sale. "VI. The operations of the bank with the Govern ment are to be— " 1. To open a credit in its favour for $9,000,000 per annum as follows : —5500,000 each month for the gene ral wants of the Government ; 25,000 each month for the widows, invalids, and pensioners ; $16,666 each month for the judicial fund, if the Supreme Court agree to give up the revenue of the stamped paper; $BOO,OOO every six months for the dividend on the foreign debt ; $200,000 every six months for that on the home debt ; $250,000 every six months for the diplomatic conven tions.

The duty on tobacco ; 6. The duty on stamped paper, if the judicial power agree to give it up. " VII. In performance of the administration which is confided to them, the bank authorities will regulate the localities and salaries of the offices of the revenues which they have to manage,- will propose to the Govern ment the employes who have to serve in them, and will be able to remove these persons from their posts when ever they do not perform their duties. " VIII. The bank, in the account which it will have with the Government, will charge the latter with what is furnished it on the credit opened, and will credit the Government for the amount of the produce of the re venues ; and the Treasury and the bank shall mutually agree to a charge of A per cent. per month for the bal ance which the one may have against the other. The account of commission to be settled every six months. " IX. If the revenues under the administration of the bank should produce more than those which on an ave- rage they rendered net in any one year of the last five years, the excess shall be divided in equal parts between the said bank and the public Treasury. "X. The existence of the credit opened in favour of the Treasury and the administration of the revenues of the bank shall be for two years certain, binding on both sides, and may be continued for three years more at the option of the bank. Notwithstanding this, there shall not be altered during these periods the maritime duties, nor the original laws of the other revenues which it ad ministers. The bank has the exclusive power to issue notes 'payable to hearer.' At no time can it have in circulation notes whose amount shall exceed a third part of the amount of available funds* in its coffers. Said notes shall be always payable at sight and to bearer. Their admission in trade and commerce shall be at the free consent of the parties concerned ; but the foregoing of them shall be punished with the penalties which the law imposes upon the coiners of bad money.

ALARMING FIRE AT GOODHART'S SUGAR -HOUSE, LIMEHOUSE.—Last night (Sunday) some alarm was created in Limehouse, in consequence of the outbreak of a fire in the extensive premises of Messrs. Goodhart, sugar-refiners, situate at Limehouse. The flames com menced from some unknown cause in the rooms imme diately over the boiler-houses, which contained property valued at some hundred pounds. Information was immediately sent to the engine -stations, and forthwith several engines of the London Brigade, and that of the West of England Office, arrived in rapid succession ; and a plentiful supply of water having been obtained from the mains of the East London Company, the en gines were set to work, but the fire could not be sub dued until 'damage to the extent of at least 500/. was done, which will fall on the Sun and Pheenix fire-offices. THE CASE OF POOR DWYER, THE VICTIM OF THE RUFFIAN SWEEP, CANNON.—On Saturday, Mr. Frank lin, the landlord of the Rose Inn public-house, in Ed ward-street, Addington-square, Camberwell, attended before the Hon. G. C. Norton, at Lambeth police-court, and handed to that magistrate a document, headed, in large print, " Subscription List on behalf of Michael D wyer, the policeman, who, while in the execution of his duty, was cruelly beaten and disabled by the ruffian Cannon, in November last," with the following in mann script--viz., " Subscriptions from a few licensed vic tuallers and their friends, hoping those of our trade who are willing to give protection, as well as be protected, will follow our example, as the poor man is entirely dis abled for life ; and the intention of ourselves and those who will be kind enough to assist us to put him into some little business, that might be managed by his wife, to get himself and family a living. Persons desirous to have a printed list for subscriptions can have one sent through the post by a line addressed to Mr. Franklin, Rose Inn, Edward-street, Addington-square, Camber. well. List of subscriptions :—Mr. Stevens and friends, Bricklayers' Arms, Southampton-street, Camberwell, 61. 4s. 6d. ; Mr. Franklin and friends, Rose Inn, Ed ward-street, Addington-square, Camberwell, 21. 7s. 6d. ; Mr. Walter, Blue Posts, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, 15s. ; Mr. Rountree, Blue Coat Boy, Walworth-road, 15s. ; Mr. W. Hooker, Red Cap, Camberwell-green, 12s. 6d. ; and a Friend, is., making a total of 101. 15s. 6d." Mr. Norton cordially thanked Mr. Franklin and the other gentlemen for their humanity and generosity, and ex pressed a hope that others would, as they expressed it themselves, follow their example. Mr. Franklin thanked the worthy magistrate for the kind expression of his opinion, and, handing the 101. 15s. 6d. to the chief clerk, left the court. COLLISION ON THE NORFOLK RAILWAY.—A collision, but fortunately unattended with any serious results, oc curred on Friday morning at Reedham, by which seve ral persons were injured, mostly in a trifling manner, but in one or two cases rather seriously. From inquiries instituted immediately after the accident, it appears that the morning train from Lowestoft shopped on its arrival at Reedham to allow passengers to alight. The Yar mouth train, Which was behind, came up at the time, and entered the station at the rate of about ten miles per hour, and was unable to avoid coming in contact with the carriages at the end of the Lowestoft train. A pretty smart collision took place, and the pas sengers in the Yarmouth carriages were thrown vio lently forward, and several of them severely bruised. The cries of those who were hurt excited a great deal of alarm at first, as it was imagined that the accident was a more serious matter than it proved in reality to be. The carriage doors having been hastily opened, a cur sory examination was made, when it was found that 8 persons had sustained severe contusions about the head and face, and in one or two cases were bleeding pro fusely. A telegraphic message was forwarded to Norwich for the attendance of Drs. Ranking and Masters, but the sufferers preferred proceeding to Norwich at once, and accordingly were conveyed with all speed to their desti nation. The only persons who seemed to require any strict medical attention were a Mr. Thickett, his son, and daughter, who were at once removed to the Norfolk Hotel, under the care of Mr. Masters. They were found to have sustained severe contusions, and Mr. Thickett a slight concussion of the brain, but no danger is appre hended. A gentleman whose name did not transpire was also removed to the same place. His mouth was cut, but not seriously. The remainder of the passengers went without assistance to their own homes, none of the injuries being deemed serious enough to warrant their being detained for medical treatment. It is fortunate that the Lowestoft train had just been set in motion when the Yarmouth train came up, or the consequences might have been still more serious. The carriage next the tender of the Yarmouth train (second class) had the panels split and the frame a good deal shaken, and the lining of one of the compartments being only 1- inch deal—was driven through by the violent contact of the head of one of the passengers, who, however, escaped with a severe shock and a slight cut. Mr. Louth was on the spot as soon as possible after the accident. The patients at the Norfolk Hotel are going on favourably. —.lpswich , Mercury. A LIFE RISKED AND. LOST FOR SIXPENCE.—A few days ago a party of young , men were swimming some dogs in a pit, called Crowther s-dam, at Stockport, when one of the animals became entangled in some weeds. The owner offered 61 to any one who would release it , and a man named James Massy accordingly went in and swam to the spot, where he became entangled amongst the weeds, and sank beneath the surface before any assistance could be rendered him. The body was not recovered till 4 o'clock next morning. The pit was about 8 feet deep, and was so remarkably filled with a network of weeds that it was madness fo r a ny ono to enteric. A sailor, who was a good swimmer, had ven tured in before the deceased, and had only released him self from the entangling weeds by resolutely biting them in two when they croised his hands and arms so as to impede his escape. The deceased has left a wife and family. An inquest was held on the body before Mr. jury returned 0.

York will not be wanting in exciting and important encounters, although it is sorely wanted to c ompensate the backers of horses for their many rece nt disa p poin ments and misfortunes. Its sport is therefore nterest andel" pated with increasing eagerness and gro win g n Since Saturday the progress of specula tion has be marked by many significant, but in certain instances not unexpected, changes. This remark particularly Wiles to the Ebor Handicap, which promises to become what is technically called a good betting race. Of t he favour ites, Pantomime alone has retained his po sition in the i.' market with any degree of firmness. The latest quota tions show him to be the ruling favourite. Both Cats paw and King of Trumps are at the time I write quit e out of favour—the retrogression of the latter horse being perhaps attributable to the "introductio on n of the Sally Warfoot colt. The movements e" D ot nected with them are watched with interest unmingled with suspicion. Sufficient is known of the " Dawson division" and their tactics, to induce the betting fraternity to watch their doings narrowl9. Four horses belonging to the "dangerous stable figur e °f among the acceptances—namely, Red Lion, ling w ere Trumps, Galvanism, and Sally Warfoot colt, and the first-mentioned horse to be selected to do battle for g uni our the party, I should not be greatly surprised. asserts that his inglorious exhibition for the Northinn: berland Plate was not owing to his inability to sustain the contest! Lord Fauconberg has recently been supported With unequivocal determination. His running at Newcastle) with Honeywood and Vindex, must not be disregarded. He was then big and lusty, and appeared to be more adapted to the stud than the race-course. Still he comparative heaviness of his weight induces me to pltace slender hopes in his ability to achieve success. St, Andrew is another " importation" into the ra nks the favourites. He is handicapped at five stone, tn e e lightest weight in the list, a circum stanc which is, perhaps, calculated to render his chance some- what formidable. Report speaks favourably of t he fin' provement which his form displays since his Spring per formance, and the benefit which he has derived fro m t he training treatment of the Wizard of the North. lan therefore, induced to entertain some expectations of chance. Nabob has many supporters, but I must de ; dine to be numbered among his partisans on the p reseli " occasion. A report, which I am happy to state is ti n true, caused much regret. It was to the effect that gr. Drinkald, the owner of Nabob, was dead. ever, was taken dangerously ill at Brighton, but is In 9 ' fair way of recovery. The opinions which I expressed on Saturday as t° the probable result of the race have undergone no In ; terial change ; indeed, they have been rather confirmed by the "incidents of speculation." I then wrote $ 5 under— _ _ _ -.-- " The horses I shall select against the field are— " PANTOMIME, ADINE, and KING OF TRUMPS." " Lord Lieutenant and Cat'spaw are next entitled 1° „ consideration. For a cockboat I shall take RED LION•o. I still fancy the BEST of Dawson's lot will be amongthe foremost flight of competitors, but whether th at " best" will be King of Trumps, Sally Warfoot colt, or Galvanism, it is difficult to determine. The only alte S rs tion which I wish to make is the substitution of t' Andrew for Cat'spaw. To-morrow I will discuss the probable result o f the events to be decided on Wednesday. August 15.
