Including the grand duo, Pauline Pviiuto THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1857 be written to the Speaker at the last moment, telling him that it is not the intention of the petitioner or petitioners to prosecute the pe- titiou I The matter thus falls to the ground, without the party who has occasioned all the vexatious proceedings, or who possibly may have received a considerable sum of money, or some other corrupt inducement, being liable to any de scription of punishment. Again, the system is often resorted to in the hope that the petition may be set off against one of greater importance on the other side, or as a makeweight in some bargain to be entered into. The Hon. Member for Bodmin pointed out an other use to which it might be and has been con verted—namely, a medium of advertisement for an ambitious boot and shoe-maker, who could not rest satisfied with the ordinary means of obtaining notoriety. Under any view of the subject the House of Commons should take care that the parties guilty of such gross contumely should not escape with impunity, and the manner in which Mr. ADDERLET'S Elec tion Petition Bill was advanced a stage last night in opposition to the Government, indicates that it will take care of its own privileges. Some guarantee should be enforced for the bona fide prosecution of the petition. It is not enough that recognisances are entered into, unless the amount be strictly enforced, and a severe penalty paid in the event of the petition proving " frivol ous and vexatious," not in the Parliamentary, but in the plain and obvious interpretation of the terms. We are by no means friendly to the multiplication of oaths, but there could be no o}jection to a statutory declaration that the party was advised and believed that he had good grounds for anticipating that he could establish the accuracy of his statements, and that in the event of failure, he should be subjected to such fine, pay able by his sureties, as the Committee should im pose. This course, and this alone, Would correct the evil, and it should be adopted before the piss ing or rejection of the promised Reform Bilt ren ders another "appeal t 3 the country" indispen sable. • ,ure. The Leviathan Stock Jobber stands revealed ! The Ursa Major is exhibited. in all his gigantic proportions. It appears that it is the Chancellor of the Exchequer who "operates" in Capel-court to the extent of millions, where ordinary " bulls" and " bears" are contented to risk thousands ! No wonder that there should be a con siderable deficiency—a hiatus valde deflen dus in the Savings' Bank funds. They constitute -the capital wherewith he " rigs the market " from time to time, selling in the cheapest and buying in the highest market. No wonder that the private secretary of a former financial Minister should try his chance at the tempting game, but very wonderful that while playing with " marked cards" and " cogged dice," he should be a serious loser to others, who were supposed to possess no such advantages.' It seems to have been a case of " Greek meeting Greek," when the tug of war became so terrific, or possibly the rashness of the official speculator, more than neutralising the advantages arising from early in formation. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY last night detailed the amount of operations in 1855 and 1856. They amounted, in round terms, to 10,036,0001. Ex chequer Bills purchased, and 5,414,0001. stock and 4,449,8001. Exchequer Bills sold. Why the mere turn of the market, as it is termed, on this amount, assumiag it at but WU; per cenT., LLIALau .1.141,5 autvuuvcu vv a_..,nnn7 and the fees to the Government broker, if he were as liberally remunerated as other brokers, would have amounted to a like sum —or, even at ls. per cent., would reach 50,000/. sterling! It is possible that the increased duties on tea, coffee, and sugar may only suffice to gratify the cervine propensities of the Financial Minister, and enable him "to make his game" to the satisfaction of the frequenters of Capel-court. From January to April, 1856, 2,491,0001. Exchequer-bills were bought, and 2,380,0301. s tock sold at low prices, averaging from 85 to 91. In July 287,600/. stock was purchased at from 95 to 96. The deficiency of more than a million in the Savings Bank funds is thus easily accounted for. Indeed it is only surprising that it is so little as it is. A "sporting financier " would knock down double the sum, even in a single year, whilst playing what the Governor of the Bank of Eugland terms " dummy," against the whole of the Stock Exchange. Taking into consideration " the turn of the market," brokers' fees, and the disadvantage of playing with his cards on the table, it may amount to a very serious aggregate in the long run. But it is not merely the amount of loss that renders the transactions objectionable. Such undue influence on the value of marketable secu rities should not be tolerated for a single moment. It is the creation of a fictitious market, calcu laced to deceive the public, and to induce money to be invested at prices that cannot be sustained when the abnormal action ceases. Be sides, it is utterly unconstitutional that any Mini ster of the Crown should exercise uncontrolled authority over so vast a sum as 35,000,0001. sterling. It creates a power that should not, under any circumstances, be entrusted to the Executive, and which might be used very injuri ously to the national freedom, should any colli sion unfortunately occur between the SOVEREIGN and the Parliament of Great Britain. As we intimated yesterday, the more energetic supporters of the Ballot without the walls of Par liament, prepared the way last night for the im portant work to be adventured upon this evening by its more resolute advocates within the walls of Parliament. Mr. BERKELEY has therefore been happily inspirited, at the last moment, as it were, prior to his bringing forward his annual motion in the House of Commons. " Happily," we say, not that the hon. member for Bristol required--but that he deserved—to be thus inspirited. And the occasion was in truth, in its way, to say the least of it, eminently encouraging. It was the occasion of the aggregate meeting of delegates (favourable to the Ballot) from all parts of the United Kingdom —an aggregate meeting held where ? At the King's Arms Hotel, New Palace yard, Westminster I—and when ? Upon the very eve of Mr. BERKELEY'S annual motion being sub mitted to the New Parlament, the Reform Par liament, the Ballot Parliament The character of the meeting, which took place yesterday " over against" the House of Commons, may be most readily and satisfactorily indicated by reference to the two principal resolutions passed by the as sembled delegates nemine contradicente. The first was simply to the effect :—" That this meeting, composed of the electors and other per sons who took part in the late general elections, looking to the accumulated evidence of the evils inherent in the open voting system afforded by the intimidation, bribery, treating, and other undue influences exercised at such elections, desire to record their conviction, that wit :out the vote by ballot a full, fair, and free represen. tation of the people in Parliamer:v can never be obtained." The abstract p r nc e was l ipl here, will be seen, sententiously and forcibly enunciated. The second resolution being of a more practical kind than its precursor, averred " That tbis meeting has heard with great satisfaction of the adoption of the Ballot in the British colonies of Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, and of its triumphant and undoubted success in these colonies, as well as in the kingdoms of Belgium, Holland, and Sardinia, and this meeting respect fully urges the liberal members of the newly elected House of Commons to use every influence to induce Lord PALMERSTON to make the vote by ballot part of his promised Reform Bill." It will be at once perceived from what we have here said, and especially from what we have here quoted, that the advocates of the Ballot " outside" the walls of Parliament have nobly done their duty. The responsibility now devolves upon the supporters of the Ballot " inside" the walls of the Legisla- LATEST NEW - PORTUGAL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING.

This morning at a past 10 o'c'ock, Mr. Charles Joseph Carttar, coroner for the western division of Kent, and ahighly respectable jury, assembledattbe Plough Inn, near the Railway Bridge, Lewisham, for the purpose of investigating the melancholy cir cumstancesconnected with the deaths r•f the unfor tun•tte persons who lost their lives by the frightful , 11i-ion which took place between two trains near the Lewisham station of the North Kent. Railway at about eleven o'clock on Sunday evening last, some particulars of which have appeared en 'this journal. ' The whole of the dead bodies have been recog nised, the last being that of Francis Drake—the complete list of those on whom the inquest was opened being as follows :—John Ballinger, aged 26 years, Elizabeth Ballinger, his wife, aged 29 years, and Edith Ballinger, his child, aged nine months ; Horatio Turner, aged 16 years, and Tho mas William Turner, his brother-in-law, aged 27 years, Mrs. Annie Wilcox, aged 33 Jears, and her sister, Mary Ann Howe, aged 22 years ; Thomas Nightingale, aged 26 years ; Thomas' Franklin, aged 21 years, and Francis Drake, agel 52 years. Of the injured parties, we have great pleasure in stating that the whole of the seven lying at St. Thomas's Hospital, are getting on favourably. Mrs. Boykett, the most serious of those cases who has received a severe compound fracture of the left leg, has passed a good night, and the symptoms are more favourable. Of the four lying at the Plough, we are sorry to say that the case of Hart is despaired of, and it is - not expected he will sur vive many hours. The greatest excitement prevailed in the neigh bourhood, and hundreds of persons flocked to the vicinity of the accident and the Plough Tavern. Mr. Coles Child, director, Mr. Smiles, secretary, appeared for the Company. Mr. Burgon appeared for the driver and stoker of the 9.30. Strood train. Mr. Solomon, for the husband of Mrs. Willcox and the friends of her sister, Miss Mary Anti Howe. Mr. Inspector Wilson, senior, R Division, at tended to watch the care for the police. The names of the jurors having been called over, and 17 answering to their names, Mr. Charles Alkins was chosen foreman, and the usual oath having been administered. The Coroner proceeded to address - the jury—He said it is-not necessary for me to make any length-. ened observations to you on this case, you have been so often before me as a jury that I need not say anything to you as to the discharge of your duty in this important investigation. This inves tigation is to inquire into the causes of the deaths contained in this long list . of personi who have been killed by this unfortunate ca lamity. You must, however, bear in mind that there is no one here under any charge. This is merely a court of inquiry, and if during the investigation there are any proofs of neglect against any person, then you will be en abled to say so in your verdict. It is not until the verdict is returned that any one will be in charge from this court. I say this to you, because I have just been informed by the officials that some person is in custody ; but we have nothing to do with that here. A magistrate c innot investigate any matter without having a person in custody before him ; but ours is merely a court of inquiry, and persons are only affected by the verdict which a jury returns. That is the difference between the accounts. I therefore pray of you not to come to any conclusion until you have heard the evidence that will be brought before you. In the course of this inquiry I feel sure that the police magistrates will assist us rather than clash with us. During all my experience, when we have had to act together in any investigation I have always found it so, and I am sure there will be no impe diment from that source now. We must, there fore gentlemen, go on with this enquiry; perfectly independent of any other, and just as if no- other Court was sitting to inves tigate the matter. It will not be for me to go into the merits of the case, but I under stand that on Sunday 'night last, at a late hour, a collision took place near this station, and the death of these unfortunate persons was the result. To day we will just commence the inquiry and get the bodies identified, so that they may be interred, therefore I shall not detain you longer than it is absolutely necessary. I cannot help remarking, that there is a vast amount of importance attached to the inquiry, and a great number of interests bound up in it. We shall have to do justice to the railway company, to the parties who are now in charge, to the friends and relations of the deceased parties, and also to the Public in treneral. I do not intend making any Ifurther remarks, but we will now proceed to vise the bodies. The coroner and jury then proceeded to view the bodies, which lay in a shed adjoining the Plough. It isneediess to attempt giving a detailed description of each of the bodies, suffice it to say that the whole of them were, more or less, mangled and mutilated ; broken skulls, fractured arms and legs, scattered brains, protruding bowels, met the eye at every point, rendering the sad spectacle sickening and painful in the extreme. Hundreds of persons bad assembled at the Plough, and many were the endeavours to catch a glimpse of the bodies, but only the jury and a person to identify each body were admitted. Upon the return of the jury, the following evi dence was proceeded with : Win. Ross, 11, Remington-street, City road, said—l am a steel-engraver. I have seen the bodies of the various parties down stairs. I identify the body of John Ballenger, aged 26, he was a carpet bag maker, and my brother-in-law. I know his wife, her name was Elizabeth, and was 29 years of age. The child's name was Edith, she was 9 months old. The Ballingers lived at 21, Shaftes bury-place, Aldersgate-street, City. Henry Turner, Kennington-lane, cook—l iden tify my brother. His name was Horatio. He was 16 years of age, and was a cook. I was with him in the carriage on Sunday last. Thomas Turner, who was killed, is my brother-in-law, but I cannot identify him. . Eliza Ann Turner, 71, Snow-hill, Smithfield, -a single woman—l Dave seen the body of Thomas William Turner. He was 27 last birthday. He was a hairdresser, and resided at No. 7, St. Mary-at-hill-street, Cheapside. Deceased was my brother. George Franklin—l live at 15, Great Maze pond, Borough. I am night porter at St. Thomas's hospital. I can identify the body of my son Thomas. He was 21 years of age, and employed as porter at a saddler's in Cannon-street. Thos. Willcox, 8, New-street, Borough-road, car riage broker—l identify the bodies of my wife and her sister. My wife's name was Annie Elizabeth Srandate Willcox. She was 33 years of age. I have been married 10 or 11. years. My sister-in law was named Mary Ann tlowe. She was a single woman, and aged 21 years. She resided at 23, William-street, Suffolk-street, Borough. I was in the same !carriage as the deceased on Sunday last. Wm. Nightingale, 7, Breams-buildings, Chan cery-lane--.I can identify the body of my son. His name was William Henry. He was 20 years of age, and was a pressman. James Dalton, residing at Madden's, British Museum, as servant—l identify the body of my brother. His name was Thomas. He was 20, and was a pianoforte maker. Thomas Drake, 79, St. John's-street, Smithfield, a mason—The body of Francis Drake I can iden tify as that of my father. He was 52, and was a joiner. He lived in West-street, Bermondsey. , The identification of the bodies having been corn pleted, the Coroner inquired whether he could issue his warrant for the burial of the bodies. The jury having acquiesced, it was arranged that the evidence of the persons connected with the line should be next taken ; and, upon the application of a gentleman named•Poindery who appeared for the prisoners, it was also decided that persons who were to be called as witnesses should not remain in the room during the examination. A gentleman here stated that Mr. Bodkin, who was instructed to appear for the Company, was not able to be present that day, and he therefore applied for au adjournment, and that he might be allowed to examine the witnesses with a view of putting Mr.. Bodkin in possession of the facts of the case. The Coroner, although he thought the applica tion was a very proper one, would not allow the witnesses to be tampered with, or a "case" made up. Mr. Solomon protested against the delay ; and, after some discussion, the inquiry was adjourned uni it Friday text. After the adjournment of the inquest the Coroner made out his warrant for the interment of the bodies, and during the afternoon they were removed in hearses for that purpose. The continual passing of so many vehicles of this description t hrou g h Lewisham had necessarily a tendency to increaseall the melancholy and gloom that has pervade classes since the lamentable occurrence. One singular feature connected with an i accident of this magnitude is the absence of any injury to the line. On walking over the spot this morning where the collision took place, and where so many met with their deaths, there is not the slightest thing to indicate what has happened. The rails are not at all disturbed nor is tire ground broken up near them, an d were it not for th e p resence of some of the officials between the P tati o n and the railway bridge who were engagedio endeavour if possible to come to a safsfac , oty conclusion when , the up-train must have firAt caught sight of the stati , inary train, and the possibility (1." , f its being stopped so as to have averted this frightful acci? dent, there is nothing, to attract the attention of strangers. Thousands of persons visited Lewisham through out the day from the adjoining towns as well as from London. The "Plough" was besieged by per sons anxious to gratify their morbid tt.stes in ob taining a sight of the mangled bodies of those un fortunate iudividual4, but we rejoice to say that they were disappointed, and in many cases grie vously so. That part of the line where the acci dent occurred was visit , d by almost every person who arrived at the station by the train. The exaraina•ion of the engine-driver and stoker will be resumed to morrow at Greenwich. _ EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE-DRIVE R AND STOKER. Yesterday afternoon, after the dispoal of the usual night charges, Thomas Perry, aged 29, of 3 ) Victoria-terrace, "Victoria-place, Old Kent-road engine-driver, and Edward Whiffen, 24, of 7, Swa n " place, Old Kent-road, fireman, were placed in the dock at the Greenwich police-court, charged before Mr. Traill, with " neglect of their duty in driving an engine and train of passengers past the danger signal at the Lewisham station on the North Kent Railway, whereby eleven persons were killed and several others seriously injured, in the parish of Lewisham." • Mr. Robinson, from the law office of the South.; Eastern Railway Company, attended to prosecute the case. and Mr. Durgon, solicitor, appeared for the prisoners. Mr. Traill suggested that all the witnesses to he examined should leave the court, and this having been complied with, Mr. Robinson, addressing the magistrate ' sat that in the absence of Mr. Rees, solicitor to the company, all he purposed doing was to lay ~bef ore his worship sufficient evidence to auta the prisoners' remand until the particulars con nected with the disastrous occurrence could be ac' curately gathered. The company was exceedinglY anxious that the fullest and strictest inquiry should be made as to the cause of the accident, and vial ready and willing, not only fox the purpose of ar" riving at a correct conclusion, but also for the ea' tisfaction of the public, to afford every facility i 4 its t power. He would not further address the court then, but felt satisfied that the evidence which b e would offer, and that which would hereafter be offered, would show that it was the negligence 11 the prisoners at the bar that the accident ana its melancholy consequences were to be attributed. The first witness called was— Wm. Wiley, of 14, Mornington-road, Dre lv i cross, who, on being sworn, deposed—l was gu ar t of the 9.15 train from Strood on the North K en a Railway last night. The other guard in cbarge„ ° ' the train with me was a man named Hughes. I arrived at the Blackheath station at 10.32, a n , stopped there to let out and take in passeng e ' , q The train was what is termed a " fast" train, nod calling at all the stations. Our right time for arri at v: ing at Blackheath was 10.17. We remaine d Blackheath st ation either three or four roinntesj and then went on towards London. We she ul not, in the ordinary course of running have bad te' stop at the Lewisham station. We pulled up the distant signal, about 200 yards from the Levr, lt , 5 ; barn station, which was also at " danger." " danger" signal is a red light. The other sig n i .;', are a green light for " caution," and a Iru l 41 , light for cc all clear." I was in the break-cardags at the tail-end of the train, which consisted of 2-3 carriages. The break-van was about 90 yard, lot side the distant signal towards the station. 3 -„ he I out of my carriage and Blood about 20 yards rr e it for about five or six minutes when I hear d l ° Beckenham train come in. then heard tof whistle, which I thought the whistle to our engine, and that we were s hout c i sb start.

I was about 100 Yaf, from the first bridge, but not - quite half - way '",„ 6 tween the two bridges, when the train passed wir at a speed of 20 miles an hour. I then turned t oe ' towards my own train, and before I got back tct the bridge I heard that a collision had taken Pla ce ; thcbt+ thoro Irma arlothor trairk nom; ~ g the line, I turned back again and ran to the .Blee'`; heath station, and told the station master not t 0 .7 anything pass up the line.

Q h" the Plough, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1857. Let these last insurrectionary atrocities in India mark the turning point in the system of our Oriental Government. Disastrous as the occasion is in itself, it may, if rightly used, be transformed into a golden opportunity. Foremost, of course, among the duties devolving upon us in conse quence of these most lamentable outrages, robbe• ries, and assassinations —foremost among those duties, we say, is obviously the one dictated by what may be termed the mere instinct of self-pre servation. We must suppress the mutiny imme diately and thoroughly. We Must inflict a summary and terrible punishment upon these in sensate and flagitious rebels, who have not only dared to raise their treasonous weapons against our authority, but have imbrued those weapons in the blood of unoffending women and chil dren. Prudence and Justice—nay, Humanity and Mercy, demand this at our hands : they de mand that the horde of traitors and assassins now sheltering themselves within the walls of Delhi should be visited at once with a very signal and a very terrible vengeance. That is our first step. The crimes these wretched men have perpetrated must be fully and forthwith expiated—and their expiation must be as rapid and as conspicuous as their perpetration. Otherwise the flames just kindled at Moorshedabad, spreading onwards to Meerut, and thence again to Delhi, would be manifestly liable to ignite, with frightful rapidity, all the combustible materials scattered far and wide over the surface of that inflammable commu nity, ending at last in one general, irrepressible, and appalling conflagration. The danger is so ap parent, that common sense alone dictates the course that ought to be pursued, and pursued, so to speak, instantaneously. It is no wonder, therefore, to learn that at a Court of Directors, held at the India House in Leadenhali-street, without a moment's unnecessary delay, an order has been already passed (within a few hours from the time at which we are writing), directing all military officers on furlough to return to their regiments immediately ! It is scarcely surprising to find that that same timely and judicious order goes even further than this—requiring those offi cers who are at home on sick certificate also to rejoin their regiments ; in the event, that is to say, of the state of their health permitting them to proceed at once to Hindostan. Allen's Indian Mail intimates, indeed, that in several instances the Order of the Court of Directors has been mag nanimously anticipated many officers having already hastened to offer their services in this extreme emergency to the Government. Such is the instinctive feeling awakened on all sides of the imminence of the extraordinary crisis in our Indian affairs, at which we have now abruptly arrived at. Extinguish the Mutiny, and then—why ob viously our labours will then only have commenced ! THEN—men - iures Luust, be taken in these Rebellions, with a view to the prevention of their periodical recurrence ! In other word , , the whole scheme of our Anglo-Indian Government requires revision and reorganisation. As at pre sent constituted, our Administration in Hiu dostan is manifestly provocative of these insurrec tionary outbreaks. We dig the mine ourselves, and lay the train, and apply the match, and then marvel at the explosion ! Recollect what somebody said so wittily of 'M. de LAMARTINE at Ilse time of the glorious Rising of February that he was an Incendiary turned Fireman ! It is precisely and literally thus, from time to time, with our Anglo-Indian Government. We are there alternately SWINGS and Fire-Annihilators ! It is a vacillation most destructive, most foolish, and most perilous in its possible consequences ! In HEAVEN'S name let us desist, at last, from this Monster Folly (which is worse than a Crime—being a Mistake) —and let the signal for our ultimate cessation from it prove 1 - ,0 have been the tocsin of revolt struck the other day almost simultaneously at Del hi, at Meerut, and at Moorshedabad ! Otherwise one of the most startling pamphleteers of his day will have raised his earnest voice in vain, utterly in vain, as the merest echo, in fact, of the de spairing accents of CASSANDRA. The pamphleteer we allude to being no other than Mr. MALCOLM LEWIN (a competent witness in regard to our Anglo-Indian Government), who in some two dozen pithy and sententious pages* has but just told us The Way to Lose India I Mr. LEWIN'S index finger-post to this disastrous road being emblazoned conspicuously with the too familiar and too ap propriate words Solitudinent faciunt pacem appellant! Alas, the Road is not so very diffi cult to find, after all—it is the Path we are now actually treading—it is the Way upon which we have already far advanced! Shall it be persisted in —the advance movement along that fatal course ? Shall we still go on doggedly, now that we see before us distinctly the abrupt close of that path way in a sheer precipice ? What says the last warning cry of the echo of CAssANDRA ? It asks—" Will the peoplo of England continue to Leadenhall-street a Govern ment whose duties they have so much ne glected—will they permit a rule to endure, which, shrouding its proceedings in secrecy, has kept the people (of India) in thraldom, and, at the end of two hundred years, exhibits nothing else as a re sult than anarchy, poverty, and disaffection ?" Will they ? We—" pause for a reply !" Re member (as we said at the close of our remarks upon this subject yesterday) that that Reply affects not merely the preservation of our Indian Empire, but the awful alternative of the happi ness or misery of 100,000,000 of our fellow creatures. * " The Way to Lose India ;" with Illustrations from Leadenhall-street. By Malcolm Lewin, Esq. Bvo. pp; 23 London : Ridgway. 1857. It is earnestly to be hoped that adequate means may be adopted to check the existing abuses in the system of election petitions. They are too fre quently presented without having the slightest foundation whereon to rest, for the purpose of collusion, annoyance, or extortion. A defeated candidat e , or voters on the losing side, may exhi bit their malevolence, by heaping the mcst un warrantabl© charges against the sitting member and his agents. He will be put to trouble and expense, in Preparing a defence when none could poss ibly be required—may receive offers of coat promise, in the vain h ope that he would be willing to pay black mail, to one who cou ld cause hi m xpenso and trouble. Should he have the steadiness to reject all overtures, a letter will FRANCE. By a decree in the Moniteur the two posts of Director-n-eneral of Public Security and of tele graphic lines have been suppressed, and the two services placed under the direct orders of the Mini ster of the Interior. Another decree nominates M. Collet-Meygret, Director-General of Public Secu rity, to succeed M. Besson as Prefect of the Nord, and appoints M. Besso to be Prefect of the Bouches du Rhone, vice M. de Crevecceur, placed on non-activite. The camp of Chalons, situated about 9 miles from the town of that name, will be inaugurated on the Ist Sept. It extends over a space of 12,500 hectares (31,250 acre:). The troops who are to take part in the manoeuvres are composed of 17,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. Gen. Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely is charged with the command. The Emperor has given orders for the construction of a railway to unite the camp and the town, and which can be cheaply made, •om the flat nature of the ground. His Majesty will be at the camp for the opening of the manoeuvres. A letter from Plombieres of the 27th gives some details of the Emperor's arrival, already briefly mentioned by electric telegraph : " The Emperor arrived last evening at a quarter to seven in a simple calecho with the ordinary postilions from the poste aux chevaux, having Generals Espinasse and Fleury, his aides-de-camp, and Captain Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, orderly officer, seated in the carriage with him. In fact, this important arrival differed from that of the veriest bourgeois only in the appearance half-an hour before of a courier, in the Imperial livery, who galloped in to announce the Emperor's coming. The crowd in the streets was immense, and the cries of Vive l'Empereur I' incessant. The car riage was obliged to proceed at a walking pace, so dense was the assemblage of people. His Ma jesty saluted repeatedly, and seemed much pleased at the animated scene before him. In that way the carriage arrived at the residence prepared for his Majesty, where Colonel Lepic, who, was here for a day or two beforehand, superintending the preparations, the prefect, the mayor, and the au thorities were ready to receive him. The mayor having made a short and appropriate speech, his Majesty replied that he had found so much benefit from the waters of Plombieres that he was glad to return to them. Affer dinner, when the town was illuminated, the Emperor, in spite of the fatigues of his journey, mixed with the crowd, and, amidst expressions of the liveliest sympathy, passed through the town. His Majesty expressed his per fect satisfaction at all he saw. I understand the Emperor, on his passage through Commercy, sum moned the subprefect, M. Chambeau, and ascer tained from him the amount of damage done in the neighbouring villages by a recent storm. His Ma jesty deigned to approve of the opening of a sub scription for the sufferers, and gave 2,000 f. towards it. M. Moequard, the Emperor's private secretary, has arrived here."

DEPUTATION TO SIR BENJAMIN HALL Dk7QPTOO'PTATa TI AIIIPSTEAD-HEATIT. Yesterday afternoon a numerous and influential deputation, composed of a number of representatives from various metropolitan parishes, including Marylebone, St. Pancras, Islington, Hampstead, 5.7 c., had an interview with the Minister of Public Works, at the right hon. baronet's official residence, Whitehall-place. The deputation was introduced by Mr. Cox, the member for Finsbury, who stated that they had come to ask his . advice and assistance respecting the long-talked-of and much-dreaded enclosure of Hampstead-heath, that table-land of health so dear to every Londoner. The hon. member pro ceeded to relate in detail the different plans that had been put forth to preserve the heath, and said that the Metropolitan Board of Works had called a special meeting that very day with reference to the subject. ' The time was a most anxious one, as the bill which had passed the first reading, under the paternity. of Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Malins, con tained clauses to relieve Sir Thomas Maryon Wil son from the effect of his f , ther's will as to building round the heath, and stood for a second reading iu the House of Commons this evening. The depu tation would be glad if the right hon. baronet could prevail upon the hon. members to postpone the second reading until the Board of Works could communicate officially with the landowner and also with the Government. Sir Benjamin Hall replied that the preservation of Hampstead-heath had always been with him a question of the very greatest moment. He had paid particular attention to it, and had, as they all knew, devoted a considerable amount of time and trouble on its behalf. As the representative of Marylebone he felt pleased in being able to do so, for he thought that places for healthful public recreation should always be secured when the op portunity offered. Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson was lord of the manor of Hampstead, and by his father's will could not grant lessee of the• heath estate for sufficiently long terms during his own life-time to make it profitable for parties to take plots for building purposes. But, in the event of anything happening to him, the succeeding heir could do as he pleased. He (Sir Benjamin) thought that there was no time to be lost, and he would at once proceed to the House of Commons, see Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Malins, and endeavour to pre vail upon them to postpone the second reading for ten days or a fortnight, in order to give the Metro politan Board of Works the time for further con sideration required ; at all events; the deputation might rest a3sured that he would do his beat upon this matter. The deputation warmly thanked the right hon baronet for his courtesy, and withdrew. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZgS AT BAILEY BURY COLLEGE. The ceremonial which took place at the East India College, at Haileybury, yesterday, derived additional interest from the fact that it was the last distribution of prizes that can take place before the final dissolution of the college as a training institu tion for the civil service of the East India Company. In September next the college will be handed over to the military cadets, for whose accommodation extensive alterations are contemplated, the plans having already been prepared by Mr. Digby Wyatt, architect to the honourable company. The prizes were delivered in the following order :- ColvinHighly distinguished, with medal in classics, medal in political economy and hi s t or y, medal in law, prize in Persian, prize in Hindustani, prize for the best English essay, and prize for general proficiency at the Easter exritnination.

Humphery, Kemble, Kays, and Saunders—Passed with great credit. At the conclusion of this interesting ceremony, the company adjourned to the hall, where an ele gant and abundant luncheon was served, [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] The Meeting last evening at the King's Arms, preparatory to the debate to-night on the Ballot, will not be without its weight with the friends of the movement, nor altogether insignificant to Lord PALMERSTON. It consisted chiefly of dele gates from all parts of the kingdom, persons, who for the most part had been hard workers at elec tions, and who could bear testimony, and did bear it most cordially, to the numberless corrupt influences under which the constituencies had to vote, and their determination not to let the sub ject rest till the Ballot was the law of the land. Each had some facts to tell of—some cases chiefly of undue influence, though examples of bribery were not wanting—which showed that in their boroughs, at least, the Ballot was a necessity. Mr. MILNER Gpsort introduced the most important practical view, in which he was sup ported by all the Members of Parliament present, and, of course, by the Meeting. He observed that as the time for argument was confessedly gone by, and the time for action come, they had now to consider how the point was to be carried. They had to compel Lord PALMERSTON to concede the ballot, and to make it a part of his new Re , form Bill. His doing so entirely depended on whether he could have the support of the liberal party without the concession. Every one knows that he would never yiell if he could help it ; they might be equally certain that he would yield rather than quit office. All, therefore, depends on the course adopted by the liberal members after the division of to-night. Suppose Mr. BERKELEY is in a minority, yet if that minority contains a large majority of the liberals, let that majority at once have a meeting and send a deputation to Lord PALMERSTON, assuring him that they will not support his Government unless he adopts the ballot. As the majority of his supporters they are entitled to have their policy carried out, or to leave the Premier to get his supporters among the Tories if he can. We quite agree with Mr. GiesoN, and could Wish that on this subject he could make his voice heard again in the House. Re is a practical man, and knows, as well as any Member of the House, how to put the screw on a Minister. However, the Manchester Tories, in voting for Mr. POTTER, have sent a very decided supporter of the Ballot to the House, and Manchester retains its votes for the Ballot ; if we cannot say that it will be supported with equal eloquence or parliamentary knowledge. There is no doubt that if Lord PAL MERSTON thinks the Liberal Members in earnest, he will yield. Will they be in earnest ? The Division list to-night will test that. Absentees and ?cu.., 11l *eV all vpeu uo more or less suspicion, and will by their conduct encourage the Minister to hold back. They must all, if men who have promised or pledged themselves, be dealt with rigorously by their constituencies, and a full account of their stewardship exacted from them. Something more, must, however, be now required than voting right this evening. Many will do that, who, we are sorry to think, would be thankful to be let off with a right vote. The next thing to the vote is the necessity of the hour ; the forming one of a deputation to compel the PREMIER tc obey the vote of his professed supporters. This will now become the test of a really liberal shember. We were glad to see Mr. BERKELEY in as good spirits as ever after his twenty years service, and to hear him avow his determination to be "obstinate" on the question, if they pleased to call it so. He intended to yield to no blandish ments, and no s Aggestions to put it off till next session, or to shirk a division, or to take his chance for another day; he intended "obstinately" to press the motion to a division to-morrow. We should add that Mr. NICHOLS O N'S s t a te men t s o f the conversions wrought in Australia by the suc cess of the first elections under the ballot, pro duced a strong and most hopeful impres- Individuals, communities, corpora tions, who had opposed it out and out till it had been tried, were now for ward not only to avow their chaugeof opinion, but to act upon it. The ballot is now all but univer sal in each of the colonies in the Great Maud of the South. The Sydney Legislature is not indeed yet elected by it ; all the other legislatures and corporations are, however, and the Government at Sydney has proposed it for the corporation there ! Can Englishmen at home be long denied the liberty conceded to Englishmen in the colo nies ? sion. DER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO MANORESTER. Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince Consort, the other members of the Royal Family, and the Prince of Prussia, arrived about ten o'clock last evening, at the Patricroft station of the London and North Western Railway, whence they immediately pro ceeded in the royal carriages to Worsley Hall. The royal party left London at five o'clock in the after noon. It was originally intended to start much earlier in the day, so as to arrive in the afternoon at the Earl of Ellesmere's residence, but the arrange ment was altered, owing to the extreme heat of the weather, which rendered it much more agreeable to travel in the evening, and a telegraphic message to this effect was received at Worsley Hall on Sunday. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour at which her Majesty arrived, there were a conside rable number of people assembled at the station, who welcomed her with much cheering. In prepa ration for the royal visit, a large pavilion, one hundred and twenty feet long, had been erected over the station platform by Mr. Rainford, of Liverpool. The interior was gaily adorned with different coloured tapestries, and with stands of flowering plants. Over the entrance to the stair case leading from the station was placed a crown of flowers, constructed by Mr. Noyes, nurseryman. The royal party passed under a triumphal arch near the station, past the Bridgewater Foundry and Morton-green, to the private carriage drive to Worsley. The road was kept by 100 men of the county police, under Captain Sheppard, the chief constable ; and in the private grounds a number of Lord Ellesmere's tenantry were engaged to assist in preserving order, but their services were not so much required as they might have been if the ar rival had taken place as early as was at first con templated.
