CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for export. The market closed heavily Without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 160 Perham and Maranham at 6:d. to Bd. ; 70 Bahia at 7d. ; 300 Egyptian at qd. to Bd., and 500 Surat at 3id. to lid. per lb. Rail way Shares were flat, and Lancashire and Yorkshire bad declined lid. per cent. The Produce Markets open buoyantly this morn ing._ The result of the Colonial Wool Sales may not prove altogether satisfactory to the shippers in Australia, because of the reduction of ld. to Lid. Per lb. compared with the May sales. English Wools, however, have, since the new clip, receded in the same proportion, say 11d. per lb.; and look ing at the political anxiety that prevailed during nearly the whole time of the sales, and the wet Weather, it is strong proof of the soundness of trade that prices keep up so well. =he arrivals of gold yesterday, reported up to the close of business hours, were large, viz., 51,972 ounces.

At Melbourne large supplies of flour had been received, and prices were lower. Brandy, wines, and spirits were cheaper, owing to increased imports. The funds are very heavy this morning, at the decline which occurred towards the close of busi ness yesterday, upon the rumour that the Bank of England will further advance its rate of discount next Thursday, and which is not improbable. Consols have been 971 The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 101 to 1, and the Three per Cents. 981 13. Bank Stock is quiet at 227 f, and India Stock at 2571. Exchequer Bills are Is. to 3s. discount. The =flexed paragraphs regarding the debt of Peru are from a circular just issued by Mr. Hasle wood : " Messrs. Anthony Gibbs and Sons have this day paid to Messrs. C. and F. Murrietta and Rodulfo the sum of 201,0001., being the balance, for the six months just ended, of the half of the profists set aside for the bond holders, after deducting 52,500/. paid last April fo r t he dividends. " It will be requisite to retain in the hands of trus tees— To pay the interest, due Ist September next, on the 2,600,0001. 41 per Cent.

Stock For Sinking Fund of the Deferred .... 25,500 8,000 .02,000 " A portion of the remaining balance of 100,009/. will have to be employed in the purchase and amortization of the Peruvian Stock. " Out of the proceeds of the last loan the agents of Peru paid to Messrs. Baring, as the agents of Chili, the sum of 391,6661. 13s. 4d., being in liquidation of 52,000,000 due to her, as stated in the prospectus of the Peruvian 41 per Cent. Loan. "Peru has yet to arrange her debt due to Old Colom bia, now represented by New Grenada, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Her representat've is at Bogota to settle the amounts due to these Republics, and thus remove the only unsettled question open between herself and these neighbours." The nature of the advices received by the Mexi can Committee, rid New York, is stated in the subjoined. paragraph : "The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have had a letter (vid United States) from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, the 17th July. He had, on the sth ult., had a formal interview with his Excellency the President, of the purport of which the Government had made a com munication to the journals, from which the account of it will be translated and forwarded for publication to morrow. Several schemes bad been on the tapis for making up the amount necessary to pay one dividend at once, but none of them had as yet met with the appro bation of the Minister of Finance." The foreign securities have been affected prin eiPally by the settlement. The Spanish Certificates are very firm at 6j per cent. Portuguese 4 per Cents. have been 431 to 44. Mexican Bonds have been. 27, and Grenada Deferred at 9 Buenos Ayres Stock is worth 67. The Swedish Loan is 1 premium. Dutch 2 per Cents. are 641 to 65. The railway market is feeble, and some lines have given way a little, including Caledonian, Great Northern, Great Western, and South Pastern. The London and North Western is quoted ex. dividend, as well as some two or three ?tilers. Foreign Shares are weaker. A good deal Is doing in East India Shares. The Joint Stock Bank Shares have been flatter, d the Mines are heavy as well as the Land companies. 13 ItITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

The rate of discount had declined to per cent., and securities of most kinds were advancing. At the same time the weather was very favourable for the harvest, and the corn market was extremely dull. WATER SUPPLY OF FRANCE. The issue of the pro spectus of the General Water Company of France was mentioned on the 11th inst., when it was also stated that two the r ival compa n i es were in the field. One of these— the Cit Great Wat er and Sewerage Company of Paris and yof France—has published its proposals.

The proceedings of the betting fraternity have mate rially confirmed the opinions which I yesterday ex pressed respecting the Ebor Handicap. To extend my observations to them would therefore be superfluous ; I have made my final selection, and am content to abide the issue. The minor events to be decided to-morrow now require consideration, and to them I shall direct attention. The Dundas Stakes is first on the list, and is likely to commence the proceedings with an interesting and im portant race. It numbers twenty-two nominations, the most favourably handicapped being, in my opinion, The Italian and Snowdon Dunhill. West Australian's absence from York is calculated upon with considerable/confidence ; the Ebor St. Leger will, therefore, be added to the catalogue of Sitting bourne's many easy triumphs. For the Yorkshires Oaks, The Queen is nominated by Mr. Woffenden ; nothing is, therefore, likely to occur to prevent her starting for that event. May Fair has incurred a 41b. penalty—an additional weight which may give the victory to the "roaring" Queen. The retrogression of Catspaw in the betting on the Ebor Handicap has induced many persons to regard his chance for the Chesterfield with much partiality. Not withstanding their heavy weights, however, I shall select Longbow and Hungerford against the field. Of the lightly penalised division, Broughton appears to be most formidable. Neville and Vixen are entitled to the precedence of the ninety-four horses nominated for the Convivial Stakes. - Adine and King of Trumps are old antagonists ; both are engaged in a 100 sovs. sweepstakes, and should they again meet an interesti ng rac e will be afforded. The distance—two miles—will militate against the success of the King of Trumps. With a start, I shall therefore g pay my addresses to Adin e . The Queen's Plate an d th e S e lling Stakes closed last night, but I have not y e t rece i ve d the nominations. Thursday's list has s t ron a tt rac tions, containing , in addition to its most prominent "feature " —the Ebor Handicap—other items t o w hi c h much interest atta ches. The County Plate I assign t o Longbow, and, in t he ver y probable absence of Ruby, I shall take Der vish and Weathercock to do battle for me for the Prince of Wales's Stakes. For the Hopeful Stakes, I shall hardly miss the mark with Grapeshot, and shall, perhaps, "bring down" the Eglinton Stakes with Barrel. Boiardo is likely to have little difficulty in defeatin g Tros for the Colt Sapling - Stakes. The recent movements relative to the St. Leger have occasioned mach interest and surprise. West Australian has received determined opposition, and at one time 6 to 4 was betted against him. His partisans are seem ingly little discouraged by this show of hostility, and so spirited was the support which he received on Monday, that his "downward tendency" was immediately ar rested. Money has been betted that Sittingbourne will be first favourite " on or before the day." August 16.

MUNICIPAL REFORM I N THE CITY OF LONDON. Last night an adjourned public meeting of the mem bers of the City of London Municipal Reform Associa tion was held at Farringdon-hall, ; Mr. Frederick Weightman in the chair . Mr. James Acland read the minutes of the original meeting, at which the career of the association was initiated for the purposes of attaining civil equality and the enjoyment of the full ad vantages of local self-government, by a modification of the existing corporate system and the extension of cor porats rights and privileges to all rated for municipal purposes, of representing and advocating the opinions and wishes of the members before the royal commission about to sit on the present state of the corporation, of collecting and arranging evidence in proof of the alleged unjust and onerous effects of the existing system, and of vigorously defending those who may be prosecuted by the municipal authorities for not taking up their freedom. The minutes having been confirmed, Mr. Acland in formed the meeting that in the interval which had elapsed since the last meeting, 265 occupiers had en rolled themselves as members, making an aggregate of 1,029 members. The present small body of mem bers was in part, he thought, owing to the season, as it was impossible to keep the more important merchants in town to attend evening meetings. Con sidering, then, the number of electors not freemen, and the number of freemen anxious for reform, and contrasting with them the paucity of the numbers of the association, he felt that they were not at present in a position to appoint a governing body. Under such circumstances he would suggest the propriety of their beating up for members by holding ward meetings and by electing ward committees—seed plots for the members of the general committee. In accordance with this sug gestion, it was moved, seconded, and agreed to, that it appearing from the report of the secretary that 265 oc cupiers had been enrolled as members since the preced ing meeting, making an aggregate of 1,029, and that a considerable increase to that number may reasonably be anticipated from the holding of ward meetings of occu p;ers, such course be recommended, with instructions for the election of local committees by the members of the re spective wards, in o r d er to an effective local or ganisation, and the consequent extension of members and the influence of the association ; and that, as it would be unjust to proceed t o the election of the central committee and officers of the association pending such proceeding, the definitive arrangements for the appoint ment of the governing body bs further postponed to the adjourned general meeting to be held on the 29th inst. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting, caution ing them against the formati o n of a me t r opolitan corpo ration in which the City would be merged, and giving details of the harsh treatment of the municipal autho rities in their own cases and the cases of their neigh bours. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. TROOPS FOR INDlA.—Yesterday the directors of the East India Company gave notice at Lloy d ' s that the ve ssels taken up for th e conve y an ce of the depot troop s and companies of the 12th Lancers and 43d and 74th Regiments of Foot to Madras would be required to em bark the same at Gravesend between the Ist and 10th of September, and that those fir Bombay would embark between the 15th and 30th of September. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. —yesterday a Par liamentary paper, contained an extract from the criminal code of „Malta, of the punishment of offences against religion. For offences against the worship of the Roman Catholic Church a person can bo imprisoned for two years, and for stealing f rom a church, from four to six years imprisonment, with solitary confinement, for not exceeding six terms. THE EFFECTS OF A STRESE.—On Saturday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London H ospital , on view of the body of Thomls Aersem, aged 49 years, a dock labourer, who committed suicide through t he recent s t r ike. Ann Deacon said the deceased lodged at No. 35, Tarling-street, St. George's-in-the-East, and had been thirty years in the London pocks, as a labourer on the east quay. On Monday week, the Ist instant, the deceased came home, and said he had left his work in consequence of the strike in the London Docks. De ceased did not join in any processidn, and seemed to be very dejected. Since the strike deceased had been in distressed circumstances, and the lodgers had given him food. On Wednesday last deceased came home quite exhausted, and told witness that he had applied to the dock officers for work, and they refused to take him on, as he had been connected with the men who struck for an increase of wages. Mary Ann Blakeway, a lodger, stated, that she saw the deceased on the Wednesday night, as he came in, and in answer to a question he ex claimed, " 0 my heart is broken, for I never shall get work again in the dock." He retired to his room, and on the following morning she took up a cup of tea and some bread and butter for the deceased, but could not open the door. Witness listened outside, and heard a loud gurgling noise, as if a person was choking. Wit ness became alarmed, and ran into the street and called a neighbour, who came in and forced the door open, when the deceased was discovered lying on the bed with his throat cut from ear to ear. The clothes were much saturated with blood, which had flowed from the wound a considerable time, and by the deceased's side were found a table knife and a long piece of stone, on which the deceased had evidently sharpened the weapon before he inflicted the injuries. The jury returned a verdict of insanity. S UDD EN DEATH ON THE . STAGE . — M. Jessiome, a singer belonging t o the Brest theatre, where he played parts suited to a bass voice, has j ust ex p ired in the per formance of his duty . He had been for some time suffering from an aff ection of the heart, but his conscien tious anxiety to be always at his post caused him to pay less attention to his state of health than he ought to have done. He had just finished singing on Monday evening his first song in the "Chalet," when the audience saw him all at once sink on the stage. MM. Vade and Philippe, two other actors who were standing near, heard him say, " Quick, some water ;" and when they r aised him up he was insensible. Medical aid was brought, but without effect, as he expired in a few hours after.—Galignani. DINNER TO THE EARL OF ZETLAND. —On Friday evening the Right Hon. the Earl of Zetland was enter: tained at dinner in the New Hall, Grangemouth, by a large number of his tenantry, feuars, and others, who, taking advantage of his lordship's annual visit to his es tates in that quarter, determined to follow the example which was so well set them a few weeks ago by the noble earl's tenantry i n Orkney. Thep rosi potion, in this case originating with the tenants and . feuars, was eagerly joined in by all classes in the neighbourhood and, accordingly, no fewer than 200 persons assembled in the New Hall to give expression to their feelings of respect and esteem for the noble lord. 'Mr. Forbes, of Callender, occupied the chair, supported on the right by cthiteorE.Garelnoefraf estlhaenridff, guest of the evening, the Soli tißeobertson, the Rev. Mr. Begg, left by Sir Alexander Maitland, Mr. Baird, M.P. Falkirk, Mr. Coubrough, and Mr. Mackay ; and on the for the Falkirk burghs, the Rev. Mr. Cochrane, Mr. H. G. Dideson, and Mr. B!own, of Newburgh.. Colonel o f carron-hall, discharged the duties of croupier, Dundas, supported by Colonel Forbes and Provost Adam. TEE CONFLAGRATION AT DOVER. The fire which broke out on Sunday evening, briefly noticed in this journal of yesterday, was far from being entirely extinguished at seven o'clock yesterday evening. The property destroyed by this calamitous event, we re gret to state, has proved far more extensive than was ex'ected. The loss that Messrs. Walker will sustain, it is "understood, will approximate to, if not exceed 40,0001. or 50,0001. The premises in whieh the disaster com menced were from forty to fifty feet in height, and each department was filled with seeds or oils roughly valued at nearly 60,0001., and it is very questionable whether the salvage will amount to 8,0001. The machinery used in the premises, consist;ng of two engines of from twenty-five to thirty horse power each, has also been reduced to a misshapen mass by the fury of the fire. From the inquiries made yesterday by the brigade au thorities it was understood that near the factory stood a school, and that during the afternoon of Sunday several of the children had their attention directed to a strong glare of light in the mills, which favours the supposition that the fire had been burning for hours before it broke out in flames. If such was the case, no doubt can be entertained that it was occasioned from a quantity of linseed overheating spontaneously. One very fortunate circumstance is, that when the fire was first seen, the authorities of the town, finding that the tide was fast ebbing, at once closed the gates of the basin, and kept plenty of water therein to supply the engines. Had it not been for this precaution, the loss of property would have been far more extensive than it really has been, for a stock of oil and other goods, stored in vaults dug out of the cliff, have thereby been saved. The engines belonging the barracks, the Royal Ar tillery, the Commissioners of Pavements, the South- Eastern Railway Company (from Dover and Folkestone), as well as the company's firemen from Ashford, the sol ; diers of the 67th Regiment, the Rifle Brigade, and two companies of the Royal Artillery, were all remarkably soon on soon on the spot, and nothing could exceed the admirable manner in which the men worked at the engines, under the command of their officers. The soldiers were regularly relieved every two hours ; twenty five were kept at each engine, and a similar number in reserve, ready to supply their places as they became ex hausted from pumping. Whilst the firemen were actively employed, a most fearful accident took place, which there is strong ground for supposing has been attended with the loss of several Mr. Birkbeck, a gentleman connected with the South- Eastern Railway Company, was busily engaged directing the men in charge of the railway engines, when suddenly a cry was raised that the cliff was falling. Mr. Birk beck and Mr. Burch, the chief clerk at the head station brigade, 'had barely sufficient time to run away when a portion of the cliff fell with a noise resembling the dis charge of a park of artillery, burying under it the hose of one of the engines, and, it is feared, several persons who were standing near. The mass of chalf that fell from the cliff is nearly 50 feet high, and is estimated at 1,500 tons weight. - Some considerable time must there fore elapse before it can be clearly ascertained whether any lives have been lost, and if so, how many. The accident was owing to the intense heat of the fire causing the chalk to swell. The soldiers, in their anxiety to prevent the fire from spreading, tore down several small buildings, which was exceedingly fortunate, for had not such been done, the flames would have travelled much further. Even with this precaution the materials of the buildings thus razed became ignited. The town of Dover will suffer materially by the diaster, as the mill destroyed was employed to furnish one por tion of the inhabita ns with their weekly supply of water for household purposes. Mr. Superintendent Braidwood reports the mills of Mr. Walker to be burned down, and the contents con sumed. Two engines and ten men are left to extinguish the remainder of the fire. The insurance offices interested in the loss are the Atlas. the Alliance, the Norwich Union, the Globe, and the West of England. The whole of the men employed at the mills must of necessity be thrown out of employment for a considerable time, as it will take several months to rebuild the exten sive range of premises. THE NATIONAL GALLERY REPORT. The report of the select committee "appointed to in quire into the management of the National Gallery ; also, to consider in what mode the collective monuments of antiquity and fine art possessed by the nation may be most securely preserved, judiciously augmented, and advantageously exhibited to the public," has been pub lished, together with the proceedings othat committee. The report concludes with the following : " In regard to the future management of the gallery, the site of the building, and the expediency of combining the national collection of monumental antiquity and fine art in one building or group of buildings, your committee have come to the following resolutions : "1. That it is the opinion of this committee that a sys tem of management by a board of trustees should be con tinued. "2. That no person should in future, in virtue of any office, become a trustee of the National Gallery. " 3. That the trustees be appointed by the Treasury. "4. That it is expedient that the number of trustees be diminished as vacancies occur. "5. That the office of keeper of the gallery should be abolished. " 6. That a salaried director should be appointed by the Treasury for a definite time, at the expiration of which he may be re-appointed. " 7. That every recommendation for the purchase of a picture should originate with the director, and be made in writing to the trustees. "8. That a fixed sum should be annually proposed to Parliament for the purchase of pictures, and placed at the disposal of the trustees. "9. That the site of the present National Gallery is not well adapted for the construction of a new gallery. " 10. That the estate at Kensington Gore, purchased by the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, and by them offered to the nation, presents many of the ad vantages recommended by the witnesses before your com mittee. The position which has been suggested at the extre mity of Kensington Gardens would afford a betterguarantee for the future protection of the works of art there col lected from the evils incident to a crowded neighbour hood, and would improve the s e pportunity of erecting are an e difi ce worthy of the purpo; but your committee fully aware that the acquisition of such a site is attended with difficulties they see no adequate means of removing ; and, in consequence, they are prepared to recommend the acceptance of the offer of the commissioners. " 11. That the committee are of opinion that the ques tion of combinng the various artistic and archaeological col lections in the British Museum with the National Gallery be referred to a Royal commission. "12. That no time should be lost in obtaining the deci sion upon the above question, in order that the new Na tional Gallery should be commenced with all convenient speed." The committee were by no means unanimous, for as many as 23 divisions took place, chiefly on the picture cleaning, the management, and the site. On the ques tion, " that a fixed sum should be annually proposed to Parliament for the purchase of pictures, itc.," proposed by Mr. Vernon, Lord Seymour moved the omission of the word " fixed." His lordship was supported by Sir W. Molesworth and Mr. Ewart, but he was defeated by a majority of two. THE SHIPPING OF THE NORTH-EAST PORTS.— SHIELDS, Saturday.—There is a great scarcity of merchant vessels in this district, and in consequence of the increased de mand for coals in the south of England, and the num ber of vessels that have gone to the Baltic, so much as 10s. per ton has been given to the masters of collier vessels to convey coals to London. 181. 10s. per keel has also been given to vessels to take coals to St. Peters burg, with a return cargo of 40s. per ton home with tallow. Seamen are as scarce as ships ; Si. 155., and in some instances 41. per month, has been paid to sea men going in vessels in the Baltic trade. The same high rates of freight have been given in the neigh bouring ports. During the past week vessels of large tonnage have taken in cargoes at Hartlepool for St. Thomas's at from 28s. to 345. per ton, being from 60 to 100 per cent. more than was obtainable for the same voyage this time last year. A Dutch vessel sailed from Hartlepool to Hong Kong with steam-coal, her freight being 661. per keel. The same vessel left Hartlepool this time last year for Australia, freighted at only one half the amount. From intelligence that has been re ceived here, there seems to be extensive desertions from British vessels in some of the North American ports. The embarrassment occasioned to captains by thus losing their crews will be, to some extent, obviated after the passing of the new act, by their being enabled to employ all foreign seamen, if they deem proper, instead of one-fourth, as heretofore. About a month ago the statistics of shipbuilding in the river Wear, during the first six months of this year were published, and similar returns for a corre sponding period of the year have been received in Sunderland from New York. Including four steam ships and 12 steam-boats, the number of merchant vessels launched at New York during the period mentioned is 34 ; aggregate tannage, 22,058 ; at Sunderland, 85 vessels ; aggregate tonnage,_ 38,000. d C e o lVi a x t , h lT E N w r e q C , n E o o N f t i T o L e B d o n E l d g a o u s n t E , s w a T o n s e d . :a T h n h a a e s t i b v l e e a ci t oue eat Richardie d s c t i t h y o , S f w a o w l h i o o r w e s Y e . ing sums to inst itutions in this city, f r ee of legacy duty To the Girls' Blue Coat School ...............

THE CAMP A M COMMON. The division assembled under arms yesterday morning 1 at nine o'clock, and proceeded f r om their parade-around ,. ' to Chobham Ridges. Here the enemy were rect by the cavalry, and discovered to be drawn up in a strong position on the ridge of hills opposite to the troops. The Bth Hussars immediately threw out their skirmishers, who, however, were quickly driven in and obliged to retire upon the Scots Greys, who had drawn up in line as their support. The Scots Greys and the Bth Hussars then advanced to the charge, retirin g again by alternate squadrons through the second line, which was formed by the Royal Horse Guards (the Blues), who also advanced, charged, and likewise retired by threes from the right. After this a splendid charge was made by the Scots Greys and the Bth Hussars. In the mean time, whilst this was the state of affairs on the left, the brigade of Guards on the right formed and attacked the enemy's left, supported by Colonel Loekyer's brigade, which also charged the enemy. These attacks on the left having been crowned with complete success, the 4th Light Dragoons and the artillery turned the enemy's left, and the 79th Highlanders, advancing under the cover of the artillery, formed line in the hollow and advanced to the attack. The enemy were completely surprised by this daring movement, and the Highlanders keeping up a close and well directed fire, they were obliged to retire. At this period the cavalry formed line in the centre of the infantrv, and nothing could be more magnificent than the appearance which the line presented at this time, the whole forming a beautiful and undulating crescent. The fire, howeve r, of the en e m y was in the meantime kept up with unrelaxed vigour, and the infantry charging front to the right, sent out skir mishers, who manceuvrei in most beautiful style. The cavalry were drawn up in two lines, the Greys and i the Bth Hussars compos'n the first, the Blues and th e 4th Light Dragoons the second. The enemy, hpwever f coetinued gradually to advance , and the division was finally compelled to retreat, which was accomplished in most admirable style, skirmishers being thrown out by both infantry and cavalry, in order to cover the retreat. With this manoeuvre the proceedings of the field-day were brought to a close. The infantry afterwards marched in close column at quick time, the cavalry also trot ting past by squadrons. The troops yesterday were under command of his Royal Highness Major-General the Duke of Cambridge, whose powers as a commander were exhibited to great advantage. Considerable inconvenience has begun to be felt at the camp in consequence of an insufficient supply of water. The horses of the cavalry have now to be taken a distance of a mile and a half to be watered, the pools in the neighbourhood of the camp being all ..but dried up, while the little water that remains in them is dis coloured and nauseous to the taste. Some of the Sap pers have been engaged for several days in boring for a well near Catlin's valley. They had on Saturday reached a depth of 40 feet, but had not been successful in ob taining water. As may well be supposed filters of all descriptions have latterly come into great request, and their merits have been sorely tested. A newly-invented filter, formed of a porous stone, made according to Ransome's patent, appears to have answered its pur pose admirably, and, unlike several of the ordinary ap paratuses of the kind, remained free from clogging with sedimentary matters, although in constant use, while the filtered liquid remainedmuch cooler and fresher than is usually the case with filtered water. On Wednesday there will be a grand field-day, and on Thursday the division is to be served with salt pro visions and biscuits, preparatory to marching on an expedition for exercise in pontooning operations. DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT AT THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE. A most appalling accident took place yesterday after noon at the works of the New Crystal Palace, at Sy denham. A correspondent states that no fewer than ten of the workmen were killed on the spot, two others have since died, and many more have been shockingly mutilated, and remain in a very precarious condition. The accident occurred shortly after two o'clock, in the north end of the great or middle transept of the build ing. As may be known, it is of great height, the scaf folding or platform used in fixing the beams of the roof being some 170 feet from the ground. It was con structed of wood and iron, and was so arranged as to admit of the workmen pushing it forward as the work proceeded. It would seem that at the time in question a number of men were engaged shifting the moveable portion of the scaffolding , whn the entire mass of ma chinery or woodwork gave way, and fell nearly the whole height of the building with a most tremendous crash. The workmen who were upon the structure were preci pitated headlong to the ground. When the scene of the ac cident was approached, it was found that ten men had been killed on the spot. Several of the other hands were discovered to be living, but in such a condition as to scarcely leave a hope for their entire recovery. One of the directors, Mr. F. Fuller and Mr. Belshaw, the superintendent of the building, happened to be near the transept at the moment of the accident. Encouraging the terrified hands to render assistance in extricating the wounded men from beneath the wreck of the scaffolding, the sufferers were quickly got out. Mr. Chamberlain, a surgeon of Wolverhampton, was by chance visiting the grounds at the time, and hearing of the terrible event at once volunteered his services. Exa mining the character of their injuries, he directed their immediate removal to one of the London hospitals, and the poor creatures being carried down to the train, they were conveyed to London-bridge, and thence to Guy's Hospital, where every attention was afforded them. On a further search being made beneath the woodwork, two horses were found quite dead. They were attached to a cart, which was used in conveying material from one part of the building to the other, and the scaffolding falling upon them, killed them upon the spot. The names of those lying dead at the Crystal Palace, as far as the police have been able to learn, are as follows : James Waller, carpenter's labourer. George Topham, smith. George Copping, labourer. William Middleton, mechanic. John Neale, labourer, Charles Hardy, labourer ; both "ormerly belonged to the P division of the metropolitan police. James - (a Welshman), supposed to be a labourer. Three other men, names unknown, features so shock ingly mutilated as almost to prevent identification. They were dressed as labourers. LIST OF THE SUFFERERS DEAD AND INJURED IN GUY'S HOSPITAL. Late last evening Sir Charles Fox, of the firm of Fox and Henderson, the contractors of the Crystal Palace, accompanied by Mr. Cobb, visited the unfortunate suf ferers at Guy's Hospital, and made minute inquiries of those who could converse as to the cause of the catas trophe. The following is a list : Henry Reading, carpenter's labourer, dead, aged 36, body and head crushed dreadfully. Expired almost im mediately on his admission into the ward. Left a widow and family. John Harris, labourer, dead ; fractured skull and other injuries. Died shortly after admission. Thos. Moore, aged 30, Putney ; severe injury to both legs and laceration of the back. Samuel Mayes, aged 26, legs fractured, and other severe injuries. Geo. Perry, aged 36, fractured skull and compound fracture of both legs. The operation of trepanning had been performed, and two pieces of bone had been ex tracted. Considered hopeless. Married, with a family of six children. Geo. Richards, 40, of S, Sutton-street, Soho. Frac tured ribs and other injuries. Progressing favourably. John Bems, aged 45, labourer, fractured legs and arms. Married, with six children. Several others were also admitted, but their injuries were not of so serious a character. Amongst the sufferers who were questioned by Sir Chas. Fox were Moone and Richards. They stated that they were in the upper part of the transept aiding with the rest in the adjustment of a rib, when suddenly, without the least warning, the whole mass gave way, and they were precipitated to the bottom.

A FOUR-OARED MATCH.—Yesterday avert' interesting and well-contested four-oared race came off among the members of the Alliance Rowing Club, held at the Red Lion, Mr. Cartar's, Fore-street, Lambeth, for a pair of silver oars and other prizes, which excited considerable interest among the admirers of aquatic sports on the Thames. The distance to be rowed was from Putney Bridge to Lambeth Pier, and there were four boats with the neces sary complement of competitors. The start took place at half -past three o'clock, when on the signal being given, they all went off together, green then got a little in ad vance of the lot, but yellow kept closely up, and was pressed hard by blue, pink being short astern. A change of positi on soon too k p l ace , as yellow, by dint of hard rowing, obtained the lead and passed green nearly a boat's length off Wandsworth Pier, blue also left green near the Swan at Battersea. A spirited struggle ensued, and yellow, in going through Battersea, Owing, vias a boat's length in advance of her opponent. n e however, to the bad management of th low lost the advantage as the boat was:tle g uxvirrnraeoidneo'fr m Y a o n ei d . the current of the tide in to still water, while co urse.

The Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta has ever stood so pre-eminent above all other clubs kilned for kindred objects, both from the fact of its being the oldest estab lished club and from the superior quality of the vessels of its members, that it would be superfluous to dilate upon them, unless it were merely to observe that the present meeting gives every promise of maintaining its well-known superiority and high reputation. The beau tiful waters of the Solent are now studded here and there with a numerous fleet of trim-looking yachts, with their sails of almost unapproachable whiteness, and their tiny barges distinguishing the various clubs to which they respectively belong. Amongst those represented at this great aquatic festival were the Eastern Yacht Club, the Royal Victoria, the St. George's, the Royal West ern, and last, not least, the Royal Yacht Club of New York. The town is now tolerably full of company, and great numbers are arriving by the steam-boats from Southamp ton, Portsmouth, &c., and everything wears a holiday appearance. The race on the card for this day was for his Royal Highness Prince Albert's cup, open to all cutters and yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron. Three to enter and start, or no race. The following yachts were en tered :—Lord Londesborough's Mosquito, 50 tons, white flag with Maltese cross ; Thos. Chamberlayne's Esq., Arrow, 102, blue flag with arrow ; Le Marchant Thomas's, Esq., Aurora, 60, white flag and red cross ; Col. Huey's Osprey, 59, blue and white flag chequered ; W. Peareth's, Esq., Julia, 111 red flag. At half-past 10 o'clock the starting gun was fired, the course being from the station vessel off Cowes Castle, to a boat moored off Yarmouth, back to the Nab Light ship, and returning to the starting boat, being a course of about 60 miles. On coming down the roads the yachts came abreast of West Cowes Castle in the follow ing order : h. m. s. Mosquito 2 30 0 Arrow 2 34 0 Aurora 2 35 40 Julia 2 39 0 Osprey 2 44 0 They then proceeded on the rest of the course towards the Nab Light, which has to be rounded, and then re turn to the starting-post, but as there is at the present time nearly a dead calm, it may resolve itself into a mere drifting match home. As the boating is starting for the last London train the result and further particulars of the race must be deferred until to-morrow. The inquest on the three unfortunate men, whose boat was run down by the Medina steamer, at the back of the Isle of Wight, on Monday last, after two adjourn ments, has ended in a verdict of " Manslaughter " being returned against Captain Corke, and the coroner made out his warrant for his committal to Winchester gaol, but bail has been accepted for his appearance to answer the charge at the next assizes. THE STRIKES IN SOUTH WALES. The state of affairs between the employers and em ployed at Dowlais continues in much the sames position as last week. The bulk of the colliers have moved away, and it is said there are not above 100 colliers in Dow lais altogether. Some 40 or thereabouts of petty agents and others have gone underground, but the rest of the colliers are still indisposed to submit, and, in deed, the submission of these few would still leave the dispute unsettled. In addition to the colliers' strike there is another arising from it. Having no coal to make Welch pig iron, the company have required the men to work Scotch pig at the same price —viz., 7s. 6d. per ton, whereas the price paid elsewhere is 2s. 6d. more. for Scotch than for Welch pig ; hence the pud dlers complain, and the case has come before the magis trates, though it still remains unsettled. The dis pute, however, will probably cease on having an adequate supply of coal. All the men in the employ of the Dowlais Company are under notice to leave, and that notice will shortly expire. The consequences of the dispute, like those of most strikes, are lamentable in the extreme, the trade of the whole district having suffered severely ; it is, however a matter of con gratulation that the men on st rike have conducted themselves so peaceably and calmly that hitherto there has been no breach of the peace. There was some bitterness of feeling in the early part of the wee , k has since subsided. The 16 furnaces which _ regard to the "turncoats," as they are ter w m e e re d b b l u o t it out, partly for the purpose of being c s i t eane d, main fireless and fia.meless. The last advance re h h that should eit er ave and the three masters who gave hould not withdraw 10 per cent. is the cause of all the unpleasa. ntness, refrained from giving it, or they be withdrawn, advance should not four agreed to give it they it now.

Plymouth,The nd atti tude of the men belonging Penydarra n is eminently pacific, and they ire determine h a il be no strike among them. They will probably there shall to work upon the reduced rates, though with a feel l e g of dissatisfaction, and a conviction that they ought to receive the advance which is now withheld. In the mean time the tide of emigration, which has never stopped, is likely to become still greater, for the walls are pla carded with offers of " Free emigration to Australia," and large numbers of working men are continually on the wing. The Ivor Works puddlers are at work, but those of the old works are not. They complain that they cannot get the usual supply of raw material to work with (that is of the same quality), and request to be paid off and have their regular discharges. We un derstand that 7s. 2d. per ton was the old price. Mr. Evans offered 7s. 6d. to work the Scotch refined iron ; the men asserted that 10s. was paid elsewhere ; but they would work it for Bs. 6d. during the time the furnaces were out. It is in contemplation to hold an aggregate meeting at Merthyr. 1131 103 i 1); 91 i 34 5 i ki
