Sir ARCHIBA LD might have added that the next is Hatred : and the third (and the most usual) the lust of Vengeance, or as we might otherwise almost venture to term it, the instinct of Retaliation. Combine those three terrible in- centives, and you have the utmost conceivable provocative to inhuman outrage and massacre. It is precisely in this combination of motives that we may dicover the true source of these frequent and bloody insurrections in Hindostan. Fear— Hatred—Vengeance : these are, in truth, the ac tuating emotions of all the Asiatic rebellions against our Inglo-Indian Government. It was SD at the very first rising against our authority. It is so at the very last—at the one now immediately contemporaneous. Fear of our might—Hatred of our rule—Vengeance for the long and grind ing aggravation of our Mis-Government. It is a terrible truth that it is so—but it is so neverthe less. The conquered races of the East have learnt alas ! from our erroneous system of admi nistration to dread what we ought to have taught them rather to look to with affectionate reliance— to abhor what we ought to have tutored them to love and reverence. And having done this, we have sown broadcast amongst them the seeds of a yearning for retaliation. This—remember— when the two boons we had to offer them, in the right hand and in the left, were Civilisation and Christianity. Additional intelligence in regard to this lest Indian mutiny happily mitigates, in a great mea sure, the anxiety not unnaturally awakened by the first brief announcement. Our Overland Correspondence, if it does bring an antidote for the bane of the evil-news flashed to us in the first instance by the Electric Telegraph —conveys to us, at any rate, a very appreciable anodyne or assuagement. It consoles us with the knowledge that the insurrectionary movement is, for the most part, restricted to Delhi and its immediate neigh bourhood ! Sir JOHDT LAWRENCE, we now learn, has adopted every available measure of a precau tionary character throughout the Punjaub—so that there at least the spirit of subordination will be sustained. At Meerut the rebels had met with the most signal discomfiture. And, so complete and thorough had been the military system of re pression already employed against the murderous insurgents that our troops were rapidly advancing (ahen the last advices left India) were rapidly ad vancing from all sides upon Delhi—the one sole remaining stronghold of the mutineers. Unfor tunately, it does still appear that at Meerut, while the rebels were for a while predominant, the mas sacre recorded in our impression of Saturday actu ally did take place—the 11th and 20th Regiments of Native Infantry and the 3d Cavalry murdering every officer they could lay their assassin-hands on ! While at Delhi—men women and children were indiscriminately butchered. However, at Meerut., as we have intimated, the mutineers have either been dispersed or exterminated ; while to Delhi and its vicinity the Rising is already almost entirely confined. And there it is manifestly fated to be very speedily avenged—and avenged thoroughly. Our forces were not only, as we have said, advancing upon Delhi from all directions, but their advance threatened, when the intelligence left, to be all the more terrible, from the fact of its being the result of a precencerted and syste matic combination. The Commander-in-Chief was hastening forward from Umballa with the Queen's 75th Regiment, with the Ist Fusileers, With the 9th Landers, with two Regiments of Native In fantry, and two troops of European Horse Artil lery. He would find considerable reinforcmnents awaiting his arrival at Meerut—and, thus rein forced, would advance directly, and without any further delay, upon the doomed city of the head and heart of the insurrectionary move ment ! Auxiliaries a'l the while pressing for ward to our aid farm Agra, where the Sepoy troops remained faithfully by the. Lieutenant-- Governor, and (besides other places) from the respective provinces presided over by the constant As of Gwalior, Bhurtpore, and Putteeallah. Everything, indeed, portended the easy and speedy suppression of a revolt as brief as it was at first alarming, and, as it has been un questionably, during its short-lived continu ance, sanguinary. But —this will surely no t be all ? The suppression of the revolt—will-- assuredly be only precursory. Something better than the punishment of a handful of assassins and traitors must follow. Prudence—Justice-- Common Sense—like demand that it should be as we are implying. These periodical risings show that there is "something rotten in the state of Hindostan !" Let us bethink ourselves at last how it may best be rid of the gangrene. The Duty devolving upon us is imperative. Let it be obeyed without further prevarication, promptly, energetically ) and ,thoroughly. Upon the manner in which it shall be obeyed depended the allegiance of 100,000,000 of the human race —and much more than their allegiance, their misery, or their happiness ! The Ballot—to-morrow evening —will be for 'many brought under the consideration of the new Parliament. It is the " Momentous Question " of the Session—the. Test of the recently-sleeted House of Commons. From the result of the Division upon Mr. BEKKELEY'A annual motion it will be seen how far the cause of Reform has really benefitt3d by the last General Election. Let all thorough-going Reformers in the House be true to their priaciples and to their promises, to them selves and t) their constituents, and we do believe that the supporters of this First and Foremost of all Reforms will be found to have been very considerably multiplied in numbers within the walls of the Legislature. Wit'iout those walls their name is Legion. Within them, we believe, as we have said, that their numbers have been recently very considerably extended. However this may be—" We shall see "—and that before many hours have elapsed. Of course, if some Hon. Members shirk the Question by Non-At enl ance, and others turn tail at the last moment, and give the lie to all their fair words when they stood upon the hustings in the beseeching attitude of candidates for suffrages then appearing to be dubious—of course, we say, should both these courses be pursued, the numbers we aro calcu lating upon will be very deplorably diminished. But the division list will afford proof positive how far, in this particular, our hopes and fears may have been realised. Again, therefore, we most strenuously urge the Reformers generally through out the country to look well to that di vi sion 'list—to examine it closely, scrutinisingly, microscopically Marking its deficiencies and its blots—the deficiencies of Non-attendance, and the blots of Recantation I Again, however, we would here reiterat3 our former appeal to our liberal provincial contemporaries —en treating them to reproduce in their columns, as conspicu ously as possible, that same Division list with the names of the local representatives, whether of b orough, city, county, claque port, or univer sity, marked wits an asterisk, in CAPITALS, or italici se d ! Accordingly as they shall have evaded the difficulty by Non-Attendance ! Fulfilled their promises, and stood firmly by their prin ciples ratted or remained obdu ratelt is — remember this—the solitary test of the Session. Th©Premier has cipl ; sl has postponed his pro mised Reform Bill until 1858 so that every thing else saving and excepting the Ballot (and for thatexception ) thanks to Mr. BERKELEY h as b een coolly given the go-by for 1857. Every- THE SUN, LOINEON, thing but the Ballot. And to-morrow that one test will be deliberately applied by the Hon. Member for Bristol to the New, and so far as fine Speeches—Hustings' Speeches—go, the Ballot Parliament. A preliminary meeting of the Ballot Association will be held this evening, in anticipa tion of what may occur to-morrow in the popular branch of the Imperial Legislature. It behoves those Hon. Members, who are heart-and-soul in the good cause to be in attendance to-night as well as to-morrow—Faithful to the Ballot to the last, Without as well as Within the walls of Parliament. The Educational Conference completed its task according to programme last week. Much was not expected of it of a practical kind ; it was chiefly intended to advertise the wants of educa tionists, leaving it to all whom it may concern to send in their tenders afterwards. Its object is, in a certain sense, a popular one, yet, if we are not mistaken, there is a feeling creeping upon us that National Education may become a bore ; that while the importance of having the people educated as well as possible, is now acknowledged by all, we may yet be over-talking the subject, or at least we may be wasting Parliamentary time upon it. Per haps discussions like those of last week may be the best plan for eliciting the knowledge and opinions of those who have given much attention to the sub ject. In the House of Commons, a great deal which is stated must be at second hand. Last week we had many practical educators telling us their plans and their difficulties. The Conference was a convocation of which no one is jealous ; arid, which though it had no legislative authority and could transact no business, yet will command the respect of Legislators, and guide the thoughts of those who can act. The presence of his Royal Highness was at once an indication of the acknowledged importance of the subject, and of the very limited field over which the discussion must range. The position of the Prince, his known interest in education in all its branches, and the good sense he has gene rally shown in his recommendations respecting higher class education, pointed. him out as the most fitting person to inaugurate the proceedings; and probably none who have perused the reports of the meetings will deny that he acquitted him self unusually well. His speech was indeed the most complete of all reported, but pro bably we have it reported most completely. Scarcely, however, had his Royal Highness adverted to tne vast increase of our population (how vast it must appear to the native of a small stagnant German Duchy!) before he ad verted also to the very narrow ground which the speakers must occupy; a restriction, but for which, he coal I not have presided. He enumerated not fewer than four pairs of hostile parties by whom " the common object has been contemplated from the most different points of view, and pursued often upon antagonistic principles." Oae party seeks the aid of Government, another that of the Church—a third demands that the State should provide elementary instruction, while its opposite holds that State interference checks spontaneous election—a fifth party asks for compulsory education based upon local self-government, but is balanced by another which advocates the volun tary system in its widest development —a seventh party strenuously demand the separation of secu lar and religious instruction, but is met by an eighth, which maintains that religion is the es sential in education, without which all the rest is valveless. It cannot be denied, therefore, that mere prudence required the prince to insist ou the limitation of the discussions to the neutral topic which had been previously selected. He could not, of course, preside over a conflict of political or religious parties. The fact of the little time spent at school by the vat majority of those who are counted as at tendants is, 'infer. .unately, bat too well established. The number of children in England and Wales between the ages of three and firt33ll is, in round numbers, nearly five millions; of these, rather more than two millions attend some school. Of the vast majority who are not at any school between those ages, nearly two millions and a quarter are absent from no assignable cause, and not more than about six hundred thousand from being at work. Proof enough that the indifference or po verty of the pareats, no doubt the former in the vast majority of cases, prevents the children from being kept at school. Here is a subject indeed for our educational phi lanthropists. Why do not the poor care for the education which is provided 16r them so much more largely than it is used by them ? In addi tion to this question, another, the question for this Conference, arises,—why are the children actually sent to school kept there so short a time ? Of the two millions who attend school, not more than six hundred thousand are above nine years of age ! Looking a little more at the details, it appears that 42 per cent, attend less than a year ! 22 per cent. during two years ; 15 per cent, only, complete two years ; but 9 per cent three years, and only four per cent, obtain a four years' edu cation. Thus nearly a half—between eight and nine hundred thousand—of those who go to school do not stay there a year, and about another half million do not complete two years ! This is certainly a rather humbling result for all the time, thought, lab Jar, and public and private funds expended on popular educa tion. It would seem to prove that there must be a serious mistake somewhere. Apparently, educa tion has made very great strides ; school houses strike our attention everywhere, and we all know that the clergyman or some of his active coadjutors, female or male, do not forget to request our subscriptions to his school. There is no lack of effort, yet if we believe the PRINCE and the Conference —and we do believe them —we give an education worth having to but a miserable fraction of the people. The schools and the teachers are there, but they are only half filled ; the people have the cup of knowledge brought to their lips, but refuse to drink, or to get their children to drink. What is to be done ? Compulsion is tolerably suc cessful, says the Right Honourable W. COWPER, in Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, and nearly all Germany. Children between the ages of three and fifteen must there be at school ; no one, however, over suggested that such an interference with liberty would be tolerated in England. We are thrown then upon purely moral means. Persua sion is the only method which can, here, be ap plied to the parents, unless, indeed, the very chil dren are to be bribed. Of all means, however, we think that of direct pecuniary inducements, whether to children or parents, the very worst imaginable ; even the material charity, which is sometimes worked in favour of the school 3, is of very questionable expediency. Interest large employers of labour, say Lord BROUGHAM and others ; and the value of their aid was admirably exemplified by the deeply-interesting statements of Mr. ACKROYD, Member for Halifax, and Mr. I. F. WINFIELD, of Birmingham, in the schools established by them in connexion with their works. Certificates of school attendance, which it was stated were highly valued by the parents, and a system of examination MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1857 and prizes were also suggested and recommended, and may have their use. These plank appear, however, to be but of partial lication. We incline to think, hoWeTor, that honest Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, though his audience of edu cationists apparently did not relish his observa tion, hit the mDst important point. He attributed " early . removals, and the general indifference of parents, to the teachers of the schools themselves" . . . "The indifference of the parents, of which so much has been said, was but another name for the insuffi ciencyof the education proffered to these children." Industrial schools, half-time schools, and evening schools, in certain cases, had been eminently suc cessful ; it is in the direction of making the edu• cation given a palpable advantage to the classes to whom it is offered, that there is the greatest field for improvement. The middle classes, now, universally educate their children, because it is impossible for them to succeed without some edu cation. Make the education such as will enable a working lad to earn better wages, and our schools will be full enough. LATEST NEWs'. HAMBURG, JUNE 27, 2.15 P.M. The Emperor of Russia 11a3 this moment arrived at the Hotel de l'Europe. He arrived this morning at 11. o'clock at Kiel, and leaves Hamburg to-morrow morning for Hanover. fact had been certified back to Blackheath, a re cord should appear in the Blackheath Look of the receipt of such a message, and in the Lewis ham book of its despatch. In pursuing his in quiries during the night Mr. Eberall, on examin ing the Blackheath book, found a written entry, to the effect that the 9.15 p.m. train 11 , d been telegraphed clear of Lewisham, which, if correctly entered, would have jintified the Blackheath station-master in "allowing the 9 30 p.m. trrin to proceed. On referring to the Lewisham b3ok, Mr. Eborall found that no entry of having for warded such a message appeared. The Lewisham station-mist:--r denied having telegraphed the line clear, and in corroboration of his statement directed attention to the index of his instrument, which, by an ingenious contrivance, points out on the face of the dial the last message trAnsmit`ed, and in this case it was—" Line blocked." In further proof of the correctness of the latter statement it miy be mentioned that it has been ascertained from the New Cross cltrk that at the time the accident oc curred he had not telegraphed Lewisham his own station clear of the 10.25 p.m. Mid Kent train from Beckenham, and that therefore Lewisham could not have been in a position to signal his station clear to Blackheath. The subject will of course form an important feature in the inquiry which must tike place as to the cause of the accident. The following terrible . ca - abgue describes the present result of this awful accident, which in the number of lives destroyed, exceeds in fatality any previous railway casualty on either of the lines having termini in London : KILLED. The dead consist of seven women, three men, and one child. Their bodies were all conveyed to the Plough Inn, at Lewisham, wt era they await recognition. The following are those who have been identified up to the hour of going to press : Mrs. Willcocke and her sister, both of Wal North. John Bellinger, 31, Shaftesbury-place, Al leregate• street, City. Mrs. Be linger and child ; wife and child of the above. Thomas Franklyn, 15, Great Mary's pond, Bankside. WOUNDED. - There are also lying at the same place the follow ing persons, all dangerously injured Jacob Hale, of North-street, East-street, Woolwich. Mary Lorth, of Hart-street, Bloomsbury. James Poland, of Travalo House, Gravesend. James Akers, of 7, Francis-st , Newtown, Deptford. The following were brought on to London, and are lying in St. Thomas's Hospital : Sarah Ann Boykett, widow, of 56, Brook-street, Lam beth. Very much contused about the head and face. This case is considered dangerous. Dinah Webb, of 9, Peter-street, Sun-street, Bishops gate. Fractured legs. Robert Collins, bootcloser, 36, Crown•street, Fins bury. Both legs injured, ribs broken, and bo(y bruised. Nathaniel Kettle, shoemaker, of War Wick-street, Pimlico. Very much hurt in abdomen. George H. Restell, of 4, Fenchurch-buildings, City. Leg and arm fractured. This is a bad case. Ferdinand Botcher, framemaker, of 22a, College street, Brompton. Head contused, and legs much hurt. William Robinson, oilman, of 4, Crown-place, Wal worth. Incised wound over the nose, and both knees injured. The following, who hal been brought on to St. Thomas's Hospital, after having their wounds dresse woro, by their own wish, conveyed home in cabs : Mary ReynoldF4, of 46, Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell Back of head injnred, and left leg hurt. Alfred Dawson, jun., of the George Inn, B,)rolgh. Severe cut over the eyebrow, contused hands, and le.;'s bruised. John Tims, of 19, Hinds-•traet, Dsptford. Injury across the loins, head and legs contused. Henry Bonnier, of 13, Canter bury-terrace, Dover-road. Bruised arms and cut fingers. George Coves, of 12, Southampton-street, Nine Elms. Injured in both legs. James Nood, bookkeeper, of Catherine Wheel Inn, Borough. Legs much injured. John Owen, of Dartford. Injury to ankle. Ada Keene, of 5, Little Mitchell-street, Ironmonger row, St. Luke's. Both legs injured. Charles Head, coaohpainter. of 1, Tennis-place, King street, Borough. Injury to chest and knees. William Pigeon, of King-street, Borough. Face much cut, bruised knee, and sprained ankle. George Collins, of 3, 'Friendly -court, 011 Ke:,t-road. Face much cut. A great many other persons with minor injuries remain at the Plough Lin, Lewisham, where they are receivingall neces4ary at ten _ion; and it is simply justice in this record to acknowledge the humane assistance which the proprietor of this house ren derad from the moment the accident occurred. Not only did ho readily receive the mangled remains of the dead under his roof, but all tire in jured persons brought to the house were without hesitation or reserve provided with that accommo dation their respective cases required. Carttar,corocer, for West Kent, has receives notice of the tragical occurrence, and will impanel a jury as soon as the var.ous deceased persons are identified. The greater part of the pasiengers Hid and wounded were in the last carriage of the 9.15 p.m. tr,.in, which, as already stated, was an open t nird class. :NZany persons in ..ther carriages were much bruised kncl shaken, but it is believed +ll9 fatal and serious cases occurred in the last carriage, of which, after the collision, merely the floor frame work remained entire. Comparatively few of tie carriages were broken, and not more than threw or four left the rails. As soda as intelligence of the accident reached St. Thomas's Hospital, Mr. John Simon, M9dical Officer of Health for the City of London, who also holds an appointment as one of the c'nief surgeons of that institution, arrived at the hospital,, and re mained iu close attendance on the injured persons during the night. This morning (9 o'clock) alt the cases appear to be going on favourably. MADAME SCHUMANN'S CONCEIT. Madame Clara Schumann deservedly bears a high reputation as one of the first pianistes in Europe. There are other great performers who shine in their respective schools—German, French, and English—but it may be said of this accom plished lady that she excels in all, and with a power of executive dexterity surpassed by few of her competitors. She possesses the true poetic feeling and justness of conception, which enable her to present the works of the various celebrated masters with such conscientiousness and fidelity, that we may fancy almost, during her performances, that we are listening to the vivid tones as they 'flow from the touches of their great origina tors ; and with this power of identifying herself with the composer whose work she is as it were re producing, she still possesses the charm of a perfect individuality. We need hardly say that Madame Schumann's " Matinee," on Saturday, at the Hanover-square Rooms, was attended by a brilliant audience, which she delighted by her admirable performances of many of the classical productions of Handal, Haydn, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, besides a characteristic specimen of Chopin. In Beethoven's "Sonata in C Minor," and Haydn's "Andante" and "Final e hl a ong roise" (both admirably played), Madame Schumann had the valuable aid of Herr Ernst 2 • and the en tertainment was varied by th e voca l abilities of Madame Clara Novello and Miss Stabbach, dis played in airs by Beethoven and Mozart. The concert, it will be seen, was of a kind to delight the love's of classical music; and our only regret was that Madame Schumann did not favour us with one of Beethoven's sonatas for the pianoforte alone. It would have been more wel come, we venture to think, than Bach's Fugue, or than the extracts from Handel's "Suites des Pieces," curious and characteristic as these were. Mozart's Andante, in A minor, and a "Nocturne," by Chopin, were played by Madame Schumann with equal grace and spirit. The Caprice, in E major, of Mendelssohn, was given with such feel ing and brilliancy as . to elicit continued plaudits. Altoe-ether, Madame Schumann may be congratu lated.on having gratified, in the most ample man ner, the varied tastes of her numerous admirers. A. Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. It was attended by all the Ministers. The glean has app doted his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge ranger of Richmond park. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by a numerous suite, will leave Buckingham Palace either on Saturday or Monday next for Germany.

According to a letter from the Hague, the Queen- Mother is shortly to proceed to London, a marriage, it is said, being projected between the Prince of Orange and the Princess Alice, the second daughter of her Bri tannic Majesty. The future wife of the King of Portugal is the Prin cess Elizabeth Amelia Eugenia, Duchess of Bavaria, born on the 24th Deoensber, 1837. She is the daughter of Duke Maximilian Joseph. The King of Portugal will thus become the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Austria. who married the eldest daughter of the Duke. The Russian Government has just extended to five years the permission granted to natives of Russia to re• side a':road, and which has been hitherto limited to two years. General Changarnier arrived two days ago at Ostend, where he has taken an apartment for the greater part of the summer. Captain Moorsois3, the well known engineer, who has been out to Ceyl3n with reference to ..,the construction of railways in the island, arrived in town last night, charged with despatches from Sir Henry Ward. to the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Labouchere.

Mr, Buckstone is too old a favourite with the public to require any special attraction for his benefit ; but he announces the production of a new and original three-act comedy by Mr. Tom Taylor, and a new farce. Both pieces bear promising names. " Vic tims" is the title of the comedy; "The First and Second Floor" that of the farce. Mr. W. S.

THE INDIAN MAIL.—DOVER, June 28.—Some idea of the enormous amount of correspondence carried on between England and her Indian empire may be ga thered from the fact that the Indian mail which arrived at Dover from London on Saturday night the 27th jut., consisted of no less than 133 boxes, each weighing on an average nearly 281 b. The overland mail from India arrived at Dover this evening, and was forwarded to London by the 7.30 p.m. train. THE MURDER AT STRATFORD —On Saturday after noon, Michael Crawley, aged 62 years, was broaght up again before the magistrates at Ilford, charged a ith the murder of Mary Crawley, his wife, 64 years of age, at the cottage in which she resided, at Wells-street, Strat ford, on Saturday week.

Government Bill with a view to make pro vision (which the preamble declares to be expedient) for obtaining the opinion of a superior court on ques tions of law arising in the exercise of summary jurisdic tion by common justices of the peace empowers such justices, on the application of either party to the pro ceeding before them (determinable by summary juris• diction), to state a case, after the hearing and de cision of the matter in question, for the opinion of a superior court of law at 'Westminster, the party re quiring this appeal being considered an appellant, who must give security. The justices may refuse frivolous applications, but it will then be lawful for the appel lant to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench fur a rule, calling on the justices to show cause for their decision. When a case is referred to the superior court, the latter tribunal will deliver a final decision, or send back the case for amendnent. The peeeers of the su perior court may be exercised by a judge sitting in chambere.

The Voice of Harmony in Creation. Selected and arranged by Mary Jana Est oot t. Longman and Co. This is a volume of excellent quotations, prose and poetic, illustrating music i n a ll it s me di ums, in its philosophy, power, effects, and varieties. The song of bards, the peal of the organ, the chime of the bells, and the choir of the angels, are set forth in the language of the finest arid purest authors ; from Job to Burns. Great taste and refined perception are exemplified in the selection, which constitutes, not only a valuable text refer ence, but also a charming and classical work to beguile a spare hour or two. It is worly of notice that the peculiarly pliable, yet firm, style of the binding of this velum?, is a great improvement on the ordinary method of ()covering the pages of our current literature. Job Morbid's Pilgrimage. A Burlesque, Dramatic Fragment, by D. R.M. Longman. and O.

We beg the author's par,lon if we under rate his production ; but we think he must have publiAied more for his own gratification than that of others. ,lINATICS IN SCOTLAND. —A. bill of the Lord-Advo cate and Sir G. Grey regulates the care and treatment of lunatics, and makes provision for the mainte nance and regulation of lunatic asylums in Scotland. It contains as many as 103 clauses. It constitutes a gene ral Board of Lunacy Commissioners in Scotland, to he nominated by her Majesty, 'one to be chairman of the hoard (unpaid), and two to be paid commissioners. This Board will administer the lunacy business of the country according to a mode of procedure described in detail. MISS MADELINE Sonva.—On Wednesday morning, I says the Scotsman, Miss Smith was transferred from Glasgow prison to the East Jail in Edinburgh. her in tended removal was kept strictly private, both here and in Glasgow ; and it was consequently effected without the slightest stir or excitement, She was conveyed by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway in a first-class car riage, aczompanied by Mr. Stirling, the governor, and by the matron of Glasgow Jail. At the Haymarket station a cab was in waiting, and she was quietly driven through the streets to the jail, no one excepting the prison officials having the slightest idea of her arrival. A MAN KILLED IN A QUAuREL.—Gteat excitement was occasioned in Reading yesterday by a man bein7, killed by a fellow-workman. Two or three gangs of mowers had been employed in the King's Meadows, and about 7 o'clock one gang charge i the other with having gone beyond the line laid down for them to work to, thereby depriving them of earning so much money as they would otherwise be able. A fierce quarrel took place, which ended in the death of a man named Law ranee. Three persons were taken into custody. INGENIOUs SANITARY A RRANGEMENT.—Near the Ob. aervatory of Washington there has existed, on the banks of the Potomac, a malarious swamp covered with parasi tic herbs, the exhalations of which have on many occa sions produced fever in the neighbourhood. It occurred to Lieut. Maury (whose name is honourably known in connection with numerous public services of great merit) to oppose to these noxious exhalations plants possessing a considerable power of absorption. He accordingly had planted a quantity of the helianthus grandifiorous, and these have been completely successful in absorbing the dangerou; gases, and altogether averting the fever visi tation from the spot where it had periodically oc curred for years.—Mechanics' Magazine. PUOILISM.—JAMES BROCKES AND DANIEL MORRIS, Fon 1001.—This affair, which was interrupted on Tues day last, was appointed for decision on Saturday. 0 " that day the men and their backers betook themselves to the Lower Hope, below Gravesend, where a game of cross-purposes came off, but no fight took place. Firstly, due notice not having been given, the commi— sary was not in attendance with the ropes and stakes and, secondly, the delay again occasioned the attend mace of the police—so that the second ineetiog wa 3 a , indecisive as the first, and bets are qancelled. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. In the Senate the debate on the bill on constitu tional reform was being slowly proceeded with. In the Chamber of Deputies the bill on the bases of public instruction had been adopted, as had also that on highways. On the 22d the chamber WAS occupied in discussing the bill relative to the treaty for fixing the frontiers between France and Spain. The bill on the press was about to he discussed, and the editors of the newspapers intended, in addition to the usual reports of it, to print the principal speeches separately, and make a dis tribution of them. The payment of the divi dend on the debt was to commence on the Ist of July, and it was said that the Government was able to meet all its engagements. According to the Hojas, a semi-official authority, the Government, convinced that M. Lafragna, the Mexican envoy, was not really desirous of arriving at a satisfactory settlement of the points in dipute with Mexico, was about to publish a formal decla ration of rupture with that country. A stran_4e present had been made t ) the little Princess of the Asturias :—Having some time ago been taken by the King, her father, to the inauguration of a hos pital, sue in spite of her extreme youth behaved so well that his Majesty promised to make her a pre sent of anything she might wish for. The Princess immediately replied that she would like to have a uniform of the riflemen of Madrid. The King in formed a battalion of the riflemen on duty at the palace of the wish of the Princess, and the officers immediately had a splendid uniform of their corps prepared and presented it to the Princess. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY. A fearful accident took place last night, about half-past ten o'clock, near the Lewisham station of the North Kent Railway. The particulars of this unfortunate accident, so far as we could learn, are these :—While an uptrain was stopping a short dis tance beyond the Lewisham station a train from Maidstone came up suddenly, and dashed into the stationary train. The break-van of the Maidstone train was forced on to the top of the last third-class carriage of the forward train, and was completely wedged into it. It was some time before the un fortunate passengers could be extricated. Dr. Roberts, of Sydenham, who happened to be the only surgeon in the train which caused the mischief, gave every possible assistance to the injured per sons. It could not be exactly ascertained how many persons were killed, but Dr. Roberts informed our reporter he saw three women and one man de Id. The number of persons more or less injured amounts probably to 30. Thera are 20 cases at St. Thomas's Hospital. A train which arrived about 1 o'clock this morning at the London-bridge station brought seven or eight persons, who wore taken to the hospital, and a succeeding train in about an hour brought several more. Some of these passengers were so much injured that they gave no sign of life. It was stated, but we do not know if the statement be correct, that the train which was run into did not exhibit a light, and that no signal had been made to denote that there was a train stopping between the Blackheath and Lewisbam stations. Another account of the accident which has been sent to us says : " The lives of no less than 11 passengers have been sacrificed, and nearly 40 persons are more or less injured." LATEST PARTIOULARS.—(THIS DAY.) The announcement of a terrible accident on the North Kent Railway last night, by which a num ber of persons have been killed and a great many others grievously wounded, may be thus briefly t:dd :—The Sunday traffic on the North Kent Railway is very heavy, and for the neces sary accommodation of persons returning from Gravesend, and other places of holiday resort, it is usual to run two late trains at short intervals -9.15, p.m. and 9.30 p.m.—from Strood to London. This line of rail way is worked on Tyer's electric signal syglem, the simple explanation of which is, that the station-master at one station must not allow a corn ing train to pass before the last departed train has been telegraphed clear of the next station. This system properly carried out would prevent the pos sibility of accident. How, therefore, the present disaster has occurred, we have now to explain. The 9.15 p.m. train from Strood left at its ap pointed hour, and passed through Blackheath with out anything occurring to arrest its progress ; but, on nearing the Lewisham station, which is only one mile from Blackheath, the driver found the signals against him, and pulled up the train just before coming to the platform. The signals were kept en, and the second guard was sent back with his red lamp to prevent the possibility of the expected 9.30 p.m. up-train coming upon them. Several passen gers alighted, but the large majority observing the precautions which had been taken, kept their seats in fancied security, until suddenly, and without more than a few seconds warning, the 9.30 p.m. train was heat d rushing towards them. Before any movement of the dead train could be effected by its own engine -driver, the coming train ran into violent collision with it. The effect was perfectly frightful. The engine of the 9.30 p.m. train struck the break van of the 9.15 p.m. train with a force so great that it lifted the ponderous machine off the rails to a level with the body of the next carriage —an open third class, filled with passengers—along which it swept, doubling up and crushing to death almost all the unhappy occupants, and seriously injuring those who escaped with the'r For a few moments the energies of all the persons near the station ware completely paralysed by the horrors of the scene before them. But as soon as the dreadful character of the accident was ascer tained assistance was sent for, and the best means at band were adopted to extricate the wounded and the dead. Mr. Eborall, the manager of the South- Eastern Railway, who re , i , les at Lee Park, was soon on the spot, personally directing the exertions of a large number of labourers and others, who had been pressed into the service at the moment the accident occurred. The sufferings of some of the injured persons are described to have been most excruciating, until death put an end to their pain. One man who is stated to have been nearly severed in twain sustained existence three hours. The medical men for miles around were summoned to the spot, and they gave all the relief in their. ower to the cases, recommending such as it seemed best should be sent on to St. Thomas's Hospital, and doing what was needful for others. As soon as the dead and injured were removed from off the line, Mr. Eborall with Mr. Knight, superintendent of the railway, proceeded to in quire into the cause of the accident, and after a careful investigation, Mr. Eborall felt it his duty man named give the driver of the 9.30 p.m. up-train, a named Perry, into custody, on a charge of having wilfully caused the accident by negligent driving. To what extent this man may be to blame it might at present be difficult to determine ; but, one thing is quite certain, viz., that the danger signals both at the Lewisham station and at the distant-post were dead against him, and that the guard of the previous train had gone back with his red lamp more than 200 yards. It is therefore clear he was acting in direct opposition to the company's printed rules in not having pulled up his train before he reached the Lewisham station, and this fact will be more palpable when it is ex plained that the Lewisham signals are distinctly visible from the Blackheath station, where Perry had last stopped his train. But apart from the blame which must attach to the engine-driver, there are, unfortunately, other officers of the company whose conduct will require the strictest investigation, and these are the clerks in charge of the telegraph signals at the Blackheath and Lewisham stations. Every clerk is bound to enter in a book kept by hint for the purpose the receipt and despatch of all messages referring to the working of the trains. Thus, if the 9.15 p.m. train had passed the Lcvisham station, and that MARKET NEWS.—(Mis Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The leading provincial markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, and the demand for most kinds ruled heavy, on rather easier terms. The few samples of barley on offer changed hands at extreme rates. There was a fair inquiry for oats, beans, and peas, but flour was neglected. Most of the continental markets have been steady for most kinds 6f produce, and fine wheats have realised rather more money. The American trades comes steady. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 10,445 quarters of wheat, 2,773 barley, 23,108 oats, 470 beans, 40 peas, 1,330 linseed, 1,270 rapeaeed, 10 mustard seed, 515 sundry seeds, 350 sacks, and 2,401 barrels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, a very limited supply of wheat was received from Essex ; but from Kent a fair average quan tity came to hand in tolerably good condition. Notwith standing that the show of samples of both red and white was very moderate, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was far from active. Iu prices, however, comparei with Mon , lay last, very little change took place in the quotations, if we except Kentish samples, which gave way quite is per qr. Most of the Essex supply was unsold at the close of business. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat in the market. Even the finest qualities met a dull sale, but we have no actual change to notice in prices, as holders gene• rally were tolerably firm. Floating cargoes of grain wera in but moderate request. Scarcely any English barley was in the market, and the supply of foreign was limited. The barley trade rulect firm, at very full quotations. Malt was in moderate supply and sluggish request, at late rates. We were well supplied with foreign oats, yet the trade ruled steady ; and prices were well supported. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady request, at very full prices. Most of the foreign supplies have gone direct into the hands of the buyers. There was very little inquiry for flour, and country markets were somewhat lower. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
