. CLOSE OF THE VISIT OF THE BRITISH ARMY TO THE CRIMEA. SEBASTOPOL, July Ist. —The post-office depart ment at head-quarters was broken up to day, and Mr. Angell and his assistants moved down to Balaklava. Notwithstanding a few " dodges," and many disappointments at the beginning of the war, for none of which were the post-office officers answerable, this department, one of the most difficult and ungracious in the world, has been worked with much success, to the satisfaction of the army. The head-quarters house will be deserted to morrow, but the lawful proprietors are represented as being very anxious to take possession as soon as possible. Colonel M`Murdo has left for Con stantinople to wind up the affairs of the Land Transport Corps ; and Colonel Evans, a very active and intelligent officer has succeeded to the com mand of the corps in the Crimea. "WEDNESDAY NIGHT, July 2.—The scene of desiraetiou is as complete as the desolation in the camp. Four huge piles of timber, shattered huts,' furniture, stools, benches, tables, stabling., and planks of all sorts are blazing fiercely in the Fourth Division ground, throwing columns of light into the eir, which illuminated the deserted plateau ” far and One of these, by the by, consists of a somewhat more valuable material than the rest. It is formed of about 500,000 lbs of charcoal, which was left on the ground near the central depot, and it is now a grand pyramid of oranee coloured flame, which' must have cost in one way or the other a very considerable sum of money. The calculations respecting the evacuation have been very faulty, or they have been falsified by changes in the principles and mode on which it was con ducted. The Commissariat officers are consequently left large quantities of stores which they are endeavouring to sell in the East wherever they can. The prices at which they propose to dis pose of these stores to all comers are moderate enough —e. g., per 100 lbs biscuit, 22s 10d; rice, 18s 10d ; sugar, 19s 11d; coffee, 668 8d ; tea, 95s 10d ; cocoa, 58s 4d; pepper, 87s 6d; rum, per gallon, 3s 2d ; spermaceti candles, per 100 lbs, 116 s 8d ; moulds, 655; compressed vegetables, 166 s 8,1 ; barley, with sacks, 14s ; hay, 14s 3d ; straw, 8s 9d; salt beef, per 304 lbs, 196 s 2d ; salt pork, per 320 lb., 2225. 11d. The quantity of stores which will be abandoned on the ground is neces sarily very considerable. The live stock and animals of the army will not cause any very great loss, the mules, for example, having been sold in most instances at prices very nearly approaching the original cost. The camels have turned out badly. Out of 2,000 fine-haired camels collected at Sinope only a few hundred survived the severity of last winter. There are about 2,000 bullocks in the Crimea beyond those required for the troops up to their departure, and the money represented by these animals is at least 16,000/. The Commis sary-General will be obliged to find transport for them if he cannot sell them to the Russians, and according to all accounts the Crimea is so full of cattle, there is little chance of doing so. As they cannot be left behind, they must he sent down to some market for sale, arid the result will be that the evacuation will not be completed so soon as was expected, should we be obliged to keep some one to see after their shipment. Major- General Garrett will hand over l3alaklava and this portion of the Crimea to the Russians, after which he will proceed to Gibraltar to command a brigade of the troops assembled there Already the Rus sians send in their guards with prisoners to the Provost Marshal of Balaklava. Once more the gray coats, flat caps, and long, polished, brass bound musket. barrels may be seen on the heights of Inkermann. The offences for which prisoners are made are generally trifling, and for the most part consist in having made attempts to cross the lines to Simpheropol or Ilakshi-serai without proper passes. On this point the Russians are very strict, and they have had it notified, moreover, at Constantinople that they will not permit any person to land in the Crimea hence forth except those who have formerly lived there, and are about to return permanently. The Empe ror sailed to-day with some of the Head-quarters Staff. FRIDAY, July 4.—The Calcutta steam transport cleared out of Balaklava with a full live cargo of Hussars and horses. As the Calcutta cleared out of the harbour the crews of the Leander and Sans pareil gave the gallant ship and her cargo three cheers spontaneously —an unusual compliment from men-of-war's men. TheHussarsreturned the cheers, and in a few moments the shores of the Crimea were fading from the view with the last rays of the setting sun lighting the frowning cliffs of Cape Aya, and burnishing up the copper-coloured rocks which lined the lugged coast. The men relapsed into silence. " How happy should I he, only I'm thinking of the poor fellows we leave behind." said a soldier, after a pause. " Yes! but they did th eir work, and we have no cause to be ashamed of them, thank God !" was the reply of his . neigh bour; "and so good bye to the Crimea l'—Times Correspondent. SUDDEN DE ATllS.—Yes!erday morning, Captain Jenkins, of the schooner Jane, was found dead in his berth on board his vessel. A girl named Mary M ugh went home from school on Friday fait, and complained that some one had beaten her on the head. She died of inflamation of the braii yesterday. Inquests will be held in the above cases this day. TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION.--Y sterday, the members of the several temperance societies held their usual pia day at the Z )ological Gardens. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather for the prece3ing two Mon lay's, the festival had been postponed. Yesterday the weather was all that could be desired, and a large number of the brotherhood enjoyed the various amusements pre pared for the occasiott, by Mr. Atkins, the spirited and enterprising proprietor of these gardens. TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR YORK.-011 Satur day morning, at an early hour, a fearful collision occurred at the Church Fenton station on the North Eastern railway, near York, A passenger train was standing at the station, on its return from an agricultural show, when it was run into by a luggage train, by which a great number of carriages were smashed. Two persons were killed on the spot, two more were mortally bruised, and some 14 others were more or less injur , d. The engine of the luggage train was smashed to PiPeeF• THE " WALL-STREET GAZETTE."—We received by the Canada a file of a new American paper, published at New York, under the above imposing title.

He states that the rate of ocean postage is about 9d a letter, and he fully expected, when he started his line, to be allowed that amount on such letters as the interest and convenience of parties might induce them to place on board his steamers. lie, however, found that he was only allowed one penny a • He says that he is constructing an ocean steamer of 5,000 tons burden, which will cost nearly £200,000, that he has a capital of nearly £400,000 embarked in shipping, end he offers to carry the mails to pod from Europe once a fortnight at about £3,400 the round, which is one half of the amount the United States government pays to Ceiling line for the same service, and he offers to relinquish such compensation wbenever Congress shall adopt the policy of withholding government patronage in all its forms from Etepniships traversing the Atlantic Ocean. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last, an accident occurred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire rail way, to a ma n w h o h a s been employ e d as a goods guard by e ‘ o?t o the railway company. A goods train, chiefly l a d en w i th n, left Liverpool on Saturday, and as there were not sheets sufficient to cover the cotton, a man was appointed to the cotton, and _neany the train, in order that he might give timely " C " u tlee of any spark that might fall upon vra l its firing.

The inquest was resumed before the Deputy Coroner, Mr. Statham, at ten o'clock, yesterday, in St. George's Hall. Before the examination of the witnesses commenced, Mr, Rawle, on behalf of the jury, expressed a hope that, as the enquiry had now lasted nine days, the gentlemen engaged in the case would only call such evidence as would bear directly upon the questions at issue before the jury, and not protract the enquiry by calling wit ness after witness to prove the same point, or introduc- ing testimony on questions wholly irrelevant. declared that the jury were ready to - sit as long as ever the hearing of important evidence miqht require, but urged that their time should not be wasted on super fluous and unnecessary enquiries. Much of the evidence he observed, had precisely the same character as that produced in a certain famous case of burglary, where one witness, having been called, who proved that he saw the prisoner commit the crime ; twenty were called by the defence to depose that they did not see him do it. Another juryman expressed a concurrence in the remarks of Mr. Rawle. The Coroner remarked that it must be evident to every one, the main question was, whether the Mail was properly lighted, and whether the Excelsior was properly managed. Sarriuel Ward, captain of the steamer Times was then called, and deposed that on the night in question, he left the Clarence Dock for Dublin about half-past twelve o'clock. Saw the Mail when lie got into the river. Saw the masthead light five minutes before he came to the steamer, it was a very good light. Saw her red light about two minutes after. To Mr. Aspinall : Saw the Mail's light about a mile _cr To Mr. Raffles: Met no obstruction in mid-channel. Did not find it necessary to go in close to the Cheshire shore. William Morris, master of the steam tug Lioness, stated that on the morning in question, he was lying at anchor off the magazines on the Cheshire shore. Came on deck about half-past one o'clock. Saw two steamers one coming up and the other going down. Toe one coming up was north east by east from him, and about 300 or 400 yards away. Could see her three lights, white, red, and green. They were pretty good lights. That vessel was the Mail. The vessel coming down was more eastward than the Mail. Both vessels were west— ward of the mid-channel, and about a steamer's length from each other when witness first saw them. There was an American ship at anchor lying to the eastward of them. Saw the collision. It took place in about a minute after he first saw them. Mr. Wilson Green, on: of the surve3ors to the Board of Trade, deposed that he bad taken a measure ment of the Mail steamer, regarding the position of her lights. The sidelights are distant about 48 feet from the ringlet-heads. The gunnel rail runs on each side in a parallel line about 14 feet from the lights, and then slightly diverges towards the stem : at the point where the lights are, the distance from gunnel to gunnel is 22 feet outside; the breadth of the vessel is the same for 14 feet from that point. The nearest stanchion to the lights is about 15 inches on the starboard side, and 18 inches on the port side. The port screen is about two feet two inches before the lamp, and the starboard two feet. The dis tance from centre to centre of lights is 21 feet, and the distance between the dead eye, measuring from the out side, is the same. The centre of the lamp above the dead eyes is about six. inches; the dead eyes would not interfere with the lamp. The gunnel at the stein is about four inches higher than the gunnel at the lamp. The vessel, when in dock, was drawing about five feet forward and ten aft. If a person stood in a right posi tion, the lights could be seen close to him—if an observer, on the lookout, standing in the right position on his own vessel, could see at least one of the lights of the Mail when quite close ; the lights could be seen simul taneously by a person in another vessel meeting them at two miles distance ; they might be seen at any distance from 200 yards to two miles, if the lights were properly placed and properly construct-d. As a surveyor of the Board of Trade, he would have classed these lights as sufficient. The lights would be clear a point and a half, and wholly open, clear of the stanchion. To Mr. Aspinall : He had passed lights on board this vessel, of the same position, for the Board of Trade, three or four years ago. The screens were not long enough, and he would not pass them as they now were. Was not prepared to say that near at hand the lamp would show an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of ten points of the compass—that is to say, from right ahead to two points ahaft the beam. He would pass them as they are now. because if he refused to do so, he would stop nearly all the steamers leaving the port. A person within 200 yards would probably not see the two lights simultaneously, unless be were elevated above the bow of the Mail ; but he might see the radiance of the lights. A person on board an ordinary ferry boat or tugboat would not see these lights at all within 200 yards, coming stein on ; the screens alone would pre vent it. _ _ To Mr. Blair : Has seen the Excelsior, and thinks there is more impediment to her lights being yen a-head than to those of the Mail. The fore topmast backstays almost cross the lamp. Her lower dead eyes are without the lamp, and her upper dead e y es within. The lanyards of the hackstay cross the light to a width of about the thickness of an arm. To Mr. Bremner : Made the observation, on seeing the Excelsior's lights, that if the Mail's were bad, the Excelsior's were worse. If witness saw a vessel star boarding its helm, when coming stem on to his vessel, he would endeavour to stop, and if he could clear her by also starboarding, he would do s'o, but only very peculiar circumstances could warrant him in thus doing what would be decidedly a violation of the rule. Would only be justified in doing so if he saw that a collision was otherwise unavoidable. It would in any case be a very dangerous departure from the rule. BOROUGH SESSIONS Mr. George Barber, Government Surveyor, examined: Is one of the Assistant Shipwright Surveyors to the Board of Trade at the port of Liverpool. Surveyed the Excelsior for the board on the 19th of July, so that a new certificate might be granted to her after the acci dent. Observed the lights. Had them placed in the p,sition in which they were placed when at sea, and also the screens. Saw them in the day time. Certified them as sufficient lights to the Board of Traci 3. Has seen the Mail steamer. Had been on board of her on the after. noon of the day of the collision. Did not see her lights, but saw the position in which her side lights would be. On the 25th inst., measured the position of the lamps with respect to their distance from the stem, and also the position of the lights athwart-ships. Considered the position as regarded the length from the stern of the vessel to be good, but considered they were not far enough aft from the middle line of the vessel. The screens were short, only two feet in length from where the lamp would be. Considered that the stanchions and rigging prevented the side lights from being seen clearly and distinctly. The light would be about from six to eight inches along the rail. Saw nothing to prevent the Excel sior's lights being clearly seen. (BEFORE O.'HENI)ERSON, ESQ., THE RECORDER.) These sessions were resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock, when the following prisoners were placed upon their trial, and received the undermentioned sentences for using the knife or other weapon, by which the parties attacked were more or less injured :—Elizabeth Jackson, aged 32, twelve months' imprisonment for malicious'y wounding Michael Pover ; Mary M'Kew twelve months, Ann Mullen fourteen months, Harriet Ledson ten months, Mary Cameron sixteen months, John Boardman nine months, and John Graham six months, Julia M'Dermott eleven months, James Thompson, nine months, William James Tassett eleven months . imprisonment for cutting and wounding. STREET NUISANCES TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—Your; subscribers may possibly be aware that a large gas-lamp has just been erected at the top of Mount pleasant, which seems destined to be a nuisance rather than a boon to the public. During the last two Sundays, about three o'clock, a crowd of persons has gathered round the aforesaid lamp, to listen to the incoherent harangue of an itim rant preacher. Yesterday, the crowd, composed of nursemaids, boys, and other idlers, probably amounted to two hundred persons, who were addressed in a peculiar strain by a party whose principal talent seemed to lie in the power of his lungs. Open air preaching seems a favourite amusement in this town, especially in the vicinity of the Custom-house. Whether such exhibitions, unseemly as they are, are lawful or not, is a point to he decided by the police authorities ; but surely the quieter districts of the town are not to be converted into the noisy gathering places for religious enthusiasts. The town of Liverpool supports a large body of police, and I conceive it to be the duty of the authorities of that force to prevent the repetition of such a scene as the new lamp of Mount pleasant witnessed yesterday. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood are singularly passive and easy-going not to remonstrate at the invasion of their Sunday quiet. The police have power to stop organ-grinding, and surely their power extends over such religious orators, who, not con tent with waking the echoes, collect a large crowd round them to the obstruction of the thoroughfare, and most assuredly to the annoyance of all quiet people. The insertion of these remarks in your widely circulated jour nal may probably induce the authorities to exercise their power of interference, and put an end to such gatherings for the future.—l am, sir, yours &c. QUIETUDE. Liverpool, July 2S, 1856. DR. LIVINGSTON, THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER The following letters, received at the Admiralty, make known the latest intelligence received of Dr. Livingston By Mr. Blair : Went to see the Mail under government directions, but had no special order to do so. The general instructions from the Poard of Trade, are to go on board any steamer at any time. Never went on board the Mail before the collision. Previous to going on board of the Mail had put himself, by order of the Board, in officlal communication with the agents for the Excelsior; it was not at their request that he examined the lights of the Mail ; the vessel was in the graving dock at the time, close to the wall, and could not attempt by experi ment at what point a-head the lights would be seen. Has been site months assistant•surveyor to the Board. By Mr. Aspinall : Came here from Woolwich dock yard, on this appointment; only the mast-head light of the Mail would be seen to a vessel coming stem on ; her lights were constructed but not placed as required by the act ; would not, as a surveyor, pass the Mail's lights as they are; should not consider it consistent with his duty to do so. TO a Juror : Does not agree with Mr. Greene, that if he were to act strictly according to the law, scarcely a steamer sailing from Liverpool would be allowed to leave the port ; at a mile distance, in a straight line, the three lights of the Mail would be partially seen ; could not see the s'anchion at a mile's distance. Mr. Thomas Stezzeker, dock master of the Clarence and Trafalgar docks, examined : Has known the Mail steamer four years from March last ; has often seen ir r coming in and going out at night time ; has frequently observed her lights; they were as good as in other screw boat ; they were quite sufficient to be seen if in good order. " Castor, Simon's Bay, May 26, 1856. " Sir,—ln reference to my letter to you of the 10th of January last, No. 10, reporting for the information of the Lords' Commissioners of the Admiralty that Commander Nolloth, of her Majesty's ship Frolic, had not succeeded in gaining any intelligence of the African traveller, Dr. Liv ingston, during his late visit to Quillimaine. I have now the honour to acquaint you that her Majesty's brig Dart, which arrived here yesterday, having been ordered to call at Quillimaine to make further enquiries, has suc ceeded in ascertaining that this gentleman reached Tette, .the furthest inland station of the Portuguese in Eastern Africa, on the 2nd of March last, in good health, and I enclose copy of a letter, dated the 3rd of March, from Tette, from Dr. Livingston, addressed to the comman der of any English vessel of war at Quillimaine, for warding s)me scientific papers for her Majesty's astro. nomer at the Cape, whi , h were received on the 4th instant by the officer in command of the Dart when at that port. On the death of Mr. M'Clune, Mr. Warr, master's assistant, the only remaining executive officer besides the gunner, being very ill of fever, and not acquainted with the exact orders under which the Mr. M'Clune had been acting, and being ignorant, therefore, of the discretionary orders which I had given to that officer in regard to waiting for Dr. Livingston, and know ing that the Dart had been already delayed seven weeks longer than under ordinary circumstances would have been justifiable, did net prolong his stay so long as he might have done, which is much to be regretted, as Dr. Livingston was so near at hand.—l have, &e.

THE NORTHERN TIMES.--LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER At the Exeter assizes, held before Mr. Baron Martin on Friday, George Mawson, a private in the 13th Light Dragoons, recently lying at Exeter, was charged with shooting at Corporal Frazer, of the same regiment, with intent to murder him. Mr. Coleridge prosecuted ; and Mr. Carter defended the prisoner. On the Bth of May the prosecutor was going round the stables, when he heard a shot, and on turning round the prisoner had his carbine in his hand. Smoke was issuing from the carbine. The prisoner said to the prosecutor, " That's for you," at the same moment attempting to strike p rosecu tor with his carbine. On examination, one round of ball cartridge was missing from hi s pou c h. The jury found the prisoner guilty of shooting, with intent to do grievous bodily harm ; but as the prosecutor appeared to have been on terms of improper intimacy with prisoner's wife, and, on the latter rem ons t ra ti ng , h a vi n g threatened to "drill him well," his Lordship, in passing sentence, said it was not to be tolerated that superiors in regiments should tyrannise over inferiors because they would not allow adulterous acts to be com mitted with their wives. He thought the facts should be represe , ted to the officers of the regiment. The prisoner, however, was not justified in taking the course he had, as there were other remedies open to him. He should, however, only require him to enter into his recognisances to appear and answer to the chaflge in case he committed any violent act in future. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES OF PERJURY On Friday last, at the Norwi,th assizes, two somewhat extraordinary cross-indictments for perjury, wising out of an application by a girl, named Maria Vassar, for an order of affiliation upon Charles Coe, came on before Lord Campbell. The first case called on was that of the Queen v. Charles Coe." Mr. Charles Cooper appeared for the prosecntian ; Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Evans were counsel for the defendant, Charles Coe. The defendant, who is aged 26, is the son of a respectable farmer living at Terrington, St. Cletnent's, and Maria Vassar, a girl of 18, is the daughter of parents in humble circumstances in the same village, situate about 41 miles from Lynn. Having been delivered of a bastard child in the union, Maria Vassar charged the defendant, Charles Coe, with being the father, and swore before the magistrates that site saw the defendant at Lynn on the 31st of July last, when he told her he would drive her home if she would call for him at the Rummer Inn ; that she missed him and walked home, and met him afterwards in the village, when they walked about together all the evening till past eleven. At that hour Coe took her to the house of Mrs. King, who lived near her father's, and knocking them up, made an arrangement for her board and lodging there, on the plea of her having been turned out by her father. The Kings having assented to this, they went to bed again, leaving the girl and Coe in the kitchen, where intercourse took place which led to the birth of the child in question. After this she said Coe visited her at Mrs. King's four or five nights every week for several months. In order to corroborate this tale, Mrs. King was called, but to the surprise of every one present, that person distinctly contra dicted the whole story of the girl in so far as Coe was concerned, whose interference and visits she totally repudiated, asserting that the girl had come alone, and was admitted on the ground that she had been kicked out by her father, on his discovering that she was in the familyway by a man named Wright. Upon this the order was about to be refused, when the defendant, unfortunately for himself, offered himself as a witness, and swore that he never had any connexion with the girl, and had never walked ten yards with her in his life. Upon this the magistrates not only refused the order, but directed the girl to be prosecuted f o r perjury. This sudden and unexpected result of the enquiry, created a great deal of talk in Terrington, and in a short time three or four you' hs came forward and stated that they had seen Coe walking in the fields and about the village during the night in question ; and two girls also stated that they had seen them "sating on the parson's wall," he having his arm round her waist. Upon this a second application was made by the girl to the magistrates, who thereupon reversed their former decision, for they adjudged Coe to be the father of the girl's child, and ordered him to be prose cuted for the perjury on the first application. Against this adjudicatiou Coe appealed, and called, in addition to John King and his wife, the midwife of the union, who proved that the child was a full-grown nine months' child, whereas it had been only born seven months and a half after the Ist of August, and a man named Dick Rietaby, who swore that he it was who was walking on that night with Maria Vassar, and that he was not surprised when she tfld him she was in the family way by him. This hint he swore induced him to enlist into the 11th Hussars, while a spirit of truthfulness and fair play to Coe induced him to come forward when lie heard she had fathered her child on that person. The effect of all the contradictory evidence was that the bench was equally divided, and the appeal was adjourned in order that the result of the two indictments might be ascertained. On the present occasion the charge against Coe was supported by Maria Vassar, who adhered to her original story, adding thereto that on one evening she and Coe were discovered by two girls in a situation which left no doubt of their criminal intimacy, and denying most resolutely that she had ever walked with Dick Rickaby on the evening of the Ist of August, or had ever had anything to do with him. She was corroborated by the two girls, who were now called for the first time, and also by the girls and young men who had supported her evidence on the second application and at the sessions. For the defendant, on the other hand, his sister was called to prove an alibi on the night of the Ist of August, and Mr. and Mrs. King repeated their former testimony, as did the midwife and Dick Rickaby, who appeared in his uniform, and said, " he stood in those clothes on account of Maria Vassar." In addition to these witnesses a girl, who was also confined in the union with Maria Vassar, swore that she was advised by that young lady to swear her child to a rich father, as she was going to do, rather than to a poor fellow who could not support it. The Chief Justice having summed up the whole case to the jury, they returned a verdict of " Guilty," and the defend ant was thereupon sentenced to two years imprisonment, with hard labour. Mr. Evans, who appeared with Mr, Power for the prosecution against Maria Vassar, then intimated his intention to withdraw from that charge, and a verdict of " Not Guilty ' was taken accordingly. RACE HORSE DUTY.— It appears from a return issued on Saturday that the amount of duty collected on race horses, in each of the last fire years, ended the sth day of April, was as follows : —1852, £4,452 ; 1353, 44,865 ; 1854, £4,483 ; 1855, £4,868 ; 1856, £5,451. GENERAL BEATSON.—Lord Panmure has caused a letter to be written to (funeral Beitson, acquitting him of any intention of disobeying lawfdl orders in handing over his force to General Vivian, although the preliminary enquiry showed there was some ground for questioning his readiness to do so. THE MUTINY AT NENAGII.—The trial of the militiamen for the sanguinary riot at Nenagh is fixed for this day. Mr. Justice Moore, in addressing the grand jury, briefly alluded to the subject. The town of Nenagh is filled with military, and regular patrols are kept up. It is considered very doubtful whether the crown will be able to get a conviction in the case. SON OF THE POET BU RNS. — Lieutenant -Colonel James Glancairn Burns, son of the immortal Scottish bard, spent two or three days last week in Sunderland, and was the guest of the Rev. Mr. Skipsey, in John -street. During his stay he had an opportunity of inspecting two unpublished letters of his father, of a very interesting character, the owner of which was greatly gratified by his testimony to their undoubted genuineness. After dining with a small party of the admirers of the poet, on Saturday, the gallant officer took his departure via the Newcastle steam-boat for London. NEW ROUTE TO IRELAND.—The new route established by the Great Western and South Wales Railway Companies, between Paddington and the South of Ireland via Milford and Waterford, is now completed, and opens on the 2nd of August, thus realising the priject made twelve ye ire since, which led to the fo,mation of the competing route by the Chester and Holyhead line. The Great Western's second route from Paddington via the Iron D;stricts and North Wales to Chester, and thence via Birkenhead or Holyhead to Ireland, is to receive numerous facilities from the Ist of next month, TIM EXr'LOSION IN TILE CYAIMER COLLIERY—A public meeting has been held at Newbridge, near the locality of the fearful explosion in the Cynarner Colliery, Glamorgan shire, on Tuesday week, to talca measures to alleviate the distress of the miners. It appears that the total number of deaths is 44, and that 35 wives have been made widows, and 92 children left fatherless. Mr. George Insole, the owner of the colliery, contributed the noble sum of £ 5 O O , and Mr. Edward Vaughan (the new candidate for the county), and Messrs. Powell and Co., of Newport, £lOO each. The engineers and drivers on the Taff-vale Railway contribute a day's pay, and the subscription announced at the close of the meeting amounted to £1,200. A similar meeting is to be held at Cardiff. VACANCIES IN PARLIAMENT.—In consequence of the Right Hon. Edward :strutt being called to the Upper House, a vacancy has occ urre d i n th e representa ti on o f t h e b orough of Nottingham. Accordingly on Friday evening a meeting of the liberal interest took place in the Exchange Hall. Several gentlemen were named as proper persons to become candidates ; b ut amongst the most li kely are Mr. Riviogton Mills, and Mr. Charles Paget, of Ruddington, near Notting ham On Saturday morning the writ authorising the election was received by the sheriff, end proclaimed. The election will take place to-morrow. Mr. Paget has declined coming for ward, and Mr. Mills has issued an address. Sir George Tyler having intimated his intention not again to offer him. self for Glamorganshire, Mr. Edwards Vaughan, of Rheola, has issu e d an a d dress to the electors as a candidate at the next election. Mr. Vaughan declares himself a con servative. THE CONVICT DOVE We understand that Mr. Baron Bramwell has corn municated the expression of sympathy which the jury appended to their verdict, to the Home Office; but, we believe, we are right in stating that the learned judge did not express to the Secretary of State his concurrence in the recommendation, and that, on the contrary, he considered and still considers that the conviction was right—that the verdict of `• Guilty" was fully justified by the evidence. It has been a matter of very earnest enquiry as to how the verdict and recommendation of the jury were arrived at. It is said that when the jury retired, it was proposed by one cr more of them, that they should engage in prayer to God to direct them to a righteous conclusion. The rest of the jury to whom the suggestion was made assented. The jury did engage in prayer, after which they proceeded to deliberate as to what should be their verdict. Ten of' them were prepared to return an unqualified verdict of " guilty," but two of them hesitated, which led to a discussion whether the evidence would justify them in returning a verdict of acquittal on the ground of ir sanity. The majority could not accede to such a suggestion, and eventually a compromise was effected, the minority admitting that the prisoner ought to be found guilty, and the majority consenting to accompAny that verdict with a recommendation to mercy, " on the ground of defective intellect." We hear that when the wretched man was removed to the condemned cell on Saturday night, he became very sensibly affected. He evinced con siderable excitement and anxiety of mind, which con tinued, more or less, during the night. On Sunday, Dove was visited by one of the trustees under his father's will. Dove was .•ecommended to prepare himself for the worst, when he replied, it is said, " Well, if it is to be so, it will he for my own good and the glory of God." On Wednesday, the unhappy man was visited by the Rev. W. M. Punshon, from Leeds, who had been specially requested to see him. We understand that the rev. gentleman succeeded in making an impression upon Dov. 's mind, which had probably been somewhat pre. pared for it by his having recently taken to reading books suggestive of thoughts adapted to a man placed in his fearful position. The effect produced upon his mind seems, however, to have quickly passed away, as he relapsed into his previous state of apparently callous indifference. 't he execution, if the recommendation of the jury be not attended to, will take place on Saturday, the 9th of August.—Leeds Mercury. THE BTJRNOPFIELD MURDER.—At the Durham Assizes, the trial of Rayne and Cam, the two men charged with the brutal murder of Mr. Sterling, the young surgeon, in the month of November last, came on before Mr. Justi ce Will es . After a patient investigation, which occupied the court two days, the jury after an absence cf nearly three h ours , returned into court with a verdict in blth cases of 4 ` not '!he verdict was not the unanimous decision of the jury. After an absence of some two hours and a half, they returned, stiting that eleven of their number decided for the acquittal of both prisoners, but that one juryman obstinately refused to how to the conviction of the majority. His lordship then directed that a verdict of " not guilty" should be given. SOUTH EASTERN RAlLWAY. —Consternation has been excited by the discovery of a large defalcation on the part of the chief officer at the Canterbury station, where he had been acting since the opening of the line. These frequent depredations on railway p ro p erty ca ll f or som e measures of punishment, and some surprise is felt at no reward for the arrest of such delinquents being offered. Surely the interest of the public, as well as the protection of the honest employe deserve such an expose o f rasca li ty, an d re fl ect i o n on the lax system of maragemeut which leads to such misconduct. Railway managers seem to be very deficient in checks on temptation, but if they were held responsible for deficiencies, the whole establishment would take care to watch and prevent them. POLICE couRL - E STE RDAY (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.) MORE STABBING.— John Birch, a plasterer, was charged with stabbing Mr. Holt, a house agent, on Saturday even ing last. The complainant stated that, for some years, the defendant had been employed by him to do all sort of odd jobs to houses from which he had to collect the rents ; but, from his being so much addicted to habits of intemperance, he had repeatedly to discharge him ; but, after punishing him for three or four days, he took him on again. On Friday last ho had to discharge him again ; and, on Satur day last, while he was sitting in a public-house, the Star. having a glass of grog, a person came and informed him that he was wanted. He went to the door, when he saw the defendant, and, after som t few observations of an angry description, the defendant struck him A blow on the side of the bead, when he called out, " Oh, I am stabbed," when some persons went to his assistance. The surgeon stated, that the wound in itself was not dangerous, but still there might perhaps be something intervene, by which the plain tiff might be injured for life. The policeman who appre hended the prisoner said, on taking him to jail he at once admitted that he had stabbed the person, and said that he intended to do it as he had injured him, and he was deter mined to do him an injury in return. The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next assizes. ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.—C itherine Harris, a decent look ing and respectably attired Scotch las, was charged by her master, Mr. Fellett, of No. 7, Seymour-street, with attempt ing to destroy herself on the previous afternoon. The master introduced the case to the magistrate by observing, that Catherine was a very excellent servant ; she was steady, honest, and industrious, and what could have possessed her on the previous day he could not imagine. He then went on to say, that all at once yes'erday, Catherine rushed into his room and then attempted to hang herself, having tied some pieces of rag together, which broke and she fell down. She next rushed into Miss Tellett's room, and there attempted to get a razor • and, in fact, her conduct w as such, that he was compelled to send for a policeman, and have her taken up in order that she might not injure her self. Several times in the course of the enquiry, Mr. Teilett expressed his total inability to account for such con duct. Catherine Harris was then asked whet she had to say to the charge, and her simple tale was, that on F, iday her master and mistress, and the young Misses, went to Bootle to spend the day, and left her in charge of the house. After they were gone, some servant—it did not appear of what gender the visitor was—called in, and they had tea, and after that they went oat, and did not return until after the master, who came home an hour earlier than he said he should. This caused the mas er to be angry, and, before the mistress, he called her a thief, and said she should leave. Being called a thief, hurt her feelings very much, so much so, that she was in such a state she did not know what she did. Mr. Mansfield told the girl to rest quiet, as her master gave her a very good character, and not excite herself any more. The girl was then dis charged. (BEFORE MR. BENN.). FXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF PERJURY.—TRYING TO OBTAIN A WIFE BY A FALSE AFFIDAVIT !—A well dressed Yankee, named George Waterman, who had the appearance of the master of a vessel, and was attended by about 20 of his messioates, was brought up by Inspector Kelsey on the following strange charge. The inspector said at half-past nine on Sunday morning he was called into St. Michael's Church, when the prisoner was given in charge by the Rev. C. Marrall, for having committed peliery, by which he had obtained a license to marry a young girl named Anne Jane Woods he being a married man at the time. When he took the prisoner into custody he said he had a wife in New York, but that he had not seen nor heard from her the last two years and a half, and he did not know whether she was living or dead. Mr Campbell, who attended for the pri soner, asked the inspector who gave him in charge ? and he replied the Rev. Mr. Morrell, who produced a licence which was given to him by the prisoner. The young worn an to whom he was about to be married, got so affected by it, that she had taken poison on Sunday night, and was in the hospital since and not able to attend. The Rev. C. Montan was then examined, and said he was the Incumbent of Saint Michael's Church. On Send ty morning, at the hour men tioned, the prisoner presented himself to him to be married to a young woman who accompaaind him. He asked the girl her age, and she replied twenty- one. From her appearance he certainly concluded she was not that age, and this excited bis suspicion. The father of the girl then came and said she was between 18 and 19. Witness then asked the prisoner if he were a married man ? and he did not deny it, nor did he deny that the girl was under age. Cross-examined by Mr. Campbell : I asked the girl how old she was and she said 21 years. Inspector - Kelsey said the prisoner admitted that he was married in New York, and the reason he left his wire was that he found a man in her bed. The Rev J. A. Stafford said he is a sur rogate in Liverpool. The prisoner applied to him for a licence to be married, and ho made the usual affidavit, in which he swots that be was 21 years of age, and a bachelor, and that the girl was 21 years o'd and a spinster. That affidavit was now in Chester. Mr. Campbell : I should like to know what the prisoner is charged with ? Mr. Wyberz: The charge, as it at pre ent stands, is for taking a false oatb. Mr. Campbell : There is not the least proof of that. Mr. Clough : Yes ; there is the father of the eirl here, who will prove that she is not 21 years of age. Mr. Campbell : But that will not do, for the girl herself stated that she was 21 years old. George Woods, the father of the girl was examined, and said she was close on 19 years of age. He was not aware until lately, of the .‘ carrying's on " between thorn. He went to the Surrogate, aid ascertained that the prisoner had made the affidavit, and got the certifi cate ; he then went to the church, as he beard the marriage was to take place on Sund y morning. He would not give his consent to the marriage. On Wednesday last, be dis covered that the prisoner was a married man, and that he was to marry his daughter on Sunday morning. He followed the parties to the vestry, and took his daughter home. He kept her at home, but in the evening she wanted to go out to a public-horse, to a friend of the prisoner, but he would not allow her to go. and then she took up a large piece of blue stone and swallowed it. He took her at once to the infirmary where she still remains ; he did not hear how she was this morning. He was told by a person on Sunday, that the wife of the prisoner was seen in Liverpool last week, and that he had a child five years old here. From his a - pearance, -he would conclude be was not only married, but the father of a family. (A laugh.) Mr. Campbell said there was no evi dence whatever to ahow the prisoner was a married man. As to the charge of perjury, the girl herself told the rev. gentleman that she was 21 years of age. Mr. Wybergh said the case now was not one of perjury, bat one of misdemeanour at common law. Mr. Bean (to the girl's father) : You see your daughter represented herself to the clergyman to be 21 years of age. I must discharge the prisoner. The prisoner was then set at liberty. and left with his friends, who seemed much pleased at his liberation. STRANGE CASE.—Two respectably-atired females (sisters in-law), named Margaret Grundy and Frances Dyer, were charged with stealing a pair of child's boats, value is 6d, the property of James Lloyd, of Whitechapel, The prisoners were described as highly respectable persons, the fist being the wife of the ming ir of Milner's Safe Works, and carrying on liminess for herself; and the other the wife of the chief engineer at the Wolverton station. Mr. Simon defended them. The short facts of the case were there : —About twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the prisoners went to the shop to purchase a pair of boots for a child, which Mrs. Dyer had in her arms. The allega tion of the prosecutor was, that they stole a pair of child's boots, which he found on the shop poor. Mr. Simon, in very strong language, denonnced the charge, and said it was an attempt to extort money on the part of Mr. Lloyd, This *as indignantly denied by Mr. Lloyd. It was shown that the prosecutor was not quit e so b er , although he pereisted in saying he was. He (the prosecutor) attempted to show that the prisoners were not sober, but the police p r oved th e contrary, and that Mrs. Grundy had £27 19s in her pocket when charged at the station house. Mr. Simon addressed the bench, and again designated the conduct of Mr. Lloyd to be of the vilest description, and declared the open det,r minat ion of his clients to bring an action against him for his abominable conduot. The prisoners were discharged. (BEFORE MR. GLADSTONE.)-SATURDAY SUSPICIOUS.—A woman, named Mary Smith, who kerpa disteputablo house in Mason's -court, was brought up by a police man, who stated that he was informed, the previous day, that she was purchasing some stolen property from some girls. He went to her place, and, in a certain portion of the premises, he found a roll of ribbon, and a gold watt) aid chain, which he suspected to be stolen, and he therefore asked for a remand, in order to make enquiry. The woman said the uatch, &c., were her own, and that she bought the guard in Landon-road, for £3 10F, and could bring the person from whom she purchased it. She was remanded. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.- Celia Berry was ()barged with attempting to destroy herself, by jumping into the Union-dock. A policeman rescued her. She was given up to her friends, who promised to take care of her. COUNTY COURT. -YESTERDAY -__ESTERDAT (BEFORE J. roLLoc, ESQ., JUDGE.) THE FEMALE ORDER OF UNITED RFCHABITES.---DiSSFR sions to some extent have, it would appear, sprung up among some of the branches of this body ; and yesterday the disput ing parties appeared in the County Court, to have their disease h , aled through the intervention of Joseph Pollock, E sq ., the County Court Judge. From the statements made, it appeared that one branch had, in February last, seceded from the main body ; the seceding party being lucky in retaining possession of the funds, £lO in all, belonging to the general body, and which they refused to give up. After hearing the case to some extent, the learned judge suggested that all the accounts and other documents, connected with the different branches of the society, should be su bmitted to him ; and out . o f these he should endeavour so to apportion r the fund in di spute as to meet the j ustice of t h e case . Aft some demurring a nd a lt erca ti on b etween the parties this course was ultimat e ly a d o pt e d—M r . P o ll oc k pledging him self to give hi s awar d a t th e ear li es t p oss ible moment. THE MELTON MOWBRAY MURDER EXECUTION OF TBE CONVICT The execution of William Brown for the atrocious double murder at the Thorpe toll-gate Melton Mowbray, took place on Friday morning in front of Leicester County Gaol. Thousands of individuals, of both sexes, congregated togethey long before the hour of execution ; wherever by any possibility a view of the scaffold could be obtained the crowd was most dense. Strange to say, amongst the spectators at the window of the Turk's Head; opposite the gaol entrance, was the prisoner's father! whose extra ordinary conduct in thus voluntarily appearing as the witness of his child's ignorninous exit from the world, was the subject of general reprobation with every one who was cognisant of the fact. At three minutes to eight, S. Berridge. Esq. (upder-sheriff), Mr. Musson (governor of the prf son), the chaplain, with several officials of the gaol, came on the plattbrm, followed by Brown, the culprit, and Caloraft, the executioner, who immediately proceeded to perform his duty by pulling .a cap over the prisoner's face, fixin , ' , the rope to the fatal beam, L Lis , while warder Hall proceeded to tie together the legs of the wretched man. This done, Calcraft shook the prisoner by the hand, then retired behind him, removed the bolt, the drop fell, and life became almost immediately extinct. The lifting up of one of the legs and slight convulsive movements indicated the prison ers 'sufferings. Calcraft was remarkably expeditious in the dis charge of his duty. The prisoner had an interview with his father on Wednesday, when he intimated that he intended to show a bold face on the scaffold, and that be should address the crowd. On the morning of the execution, at six o'clOck the chaplain visited him in his cell, and found him .on his knees. He then ate a hearty breakfAst, consuming a quantity of bread and butter and two eggs. He refused to make any confession, and spoke of himself as a martyr. He has all along expressed his conviction that when he died he should go to heaven, and the lather_was heard, when Brown was t urne d o ff , to He's now safe in Heaven !" exclaim, During his brief confinement he has frequently talked to the chaplain about the intense love he had for little children, but never alluded to the offence of which he was convicted. THE FRENCH FUNDS The Times of Friday contains the following article in explanation of the continued decline in the French Fends. The obligations of the French railways offer every induce ment to the public to invest in them, as they not only have the security of the lines which issue them, but are also guaranteed by the government, and as they can now be bought at prices to pay 5 to 51 per cent.. and are i❑ most instances redeemable at 10 to 20 per cent. premium, it is not likely that the French Funds can resume their ordinary buoyancy until the obligations ara absolved. Those or the South Eastern and Western of France, both under the guarantee of the French government, can be readily bought either on the Liverpool or London Stock Exchanges to pay 51 per cent:— " The prolonged depression of the French Funds, although partially to be accounted for as an inevitable reaction from the recent speculative mania, aggravated by anxieties about the harvest and such political uncertain ties as may be connected with the affairs of Spain, seems still to require some deeper explanation. Not only is there a difference of nearly 25 per cent bet ween Rentes and Consols, but the numerous purchases from this side which have been induced by that circumstance have failed to do more than prevent a further depreciation. The principal reason for this state of affahs is now pointed out to consist in the competition between the bonds of various railways and the ordinary Government funds. The French public, it is said, prefer to purchase railroad obligationr, of which some companies have lately made new and large issues. In comparison with Rentes these obligations are alleged to be much under their real value. Most of theta are guaranteed by the Governm .nt, and have besides the guarantee of a railway, the shares of which range, perhaps, between 60 to 180 per cent pre mium. They are, moreover, redeemable by yearly draw ings at £2O per obligation. Those of the Northern Line, which pay lg. or 120. per annum, are at about £l2, and those of the Western of France, the South Eastern, and the Lyons and Geneva, at about £ll 12s. 6d. Of these three the interest is guaranteed by the government, and as they yield 51 per cent., they are equal to Three per Cent. Rentes at 57i, or nearly 15 per cent. below their present price, while in 1853, Rentes being at t-0a and obligations at £l5. the relative difference was only about 51 nor cent. Not only are the French public. induced to sell Stocks in order to purchase these seourities,, but some large English investments have also lately been made on them." M. MAzzrnt.—Mazzni, it is said, has spent some days iu Switzer;and, and finding Italians averse to his projects, has ju-t returned to London. EXECUTION OF INV E.---Should the recommendation of the jury not be complied with, Dove will he executed, in all probability, on the second Saturday in August. Tli E NATOINAL VACC INE B OARD —The report of the National Vaccine Board shows that in the course of the past year 220,639 charges of lymph have been sant out. It is gratifying to report that the employment of the lymph in the variour military depots and hospitals at Scutari, and in the Baltic and Black Sea fleets has been mo s t successful as a prophylactic, and has effectually protected our forces against the spread and ravages of the loathsome pestilence of smallpox. 128,495 vaccinations are reported, of which. 8,637 were performed by the stationary vaccinators t,f the board in the metropolis. Tux NEW PEER.—Mr. Strutt issued an address to. the electors of Nottingham, on retiring from the represen. Wien, preparatory to his elevation to the peerage. In the course of it he states that in the communication informing him of the honour, it was stated that the " Qaeen was desirous of marking the interest which she takes in the great manufacturing industry (.f tha country, and her desire that this important element of our natirnrl we dth should be represented in the Upper House of Parliament It wil I be seen from our Parliamentary report that Lord Belper is. the title chosen by the right hon. gentleman. Tamar: July 25th.---Accounts from Constantinopl e of the 18th, announce that two thirds of the town of Thessalonioa had been destroyed by fire. European commerce is full of activity, and the Turkish govern ment is about to impose a dn'y on the productions of the country, and establish a new rate upon merchandise imported. The Russians have occupied the Isle of Serpents, of which Turkey claims possession by virtue of the treaty of peace. The Russians have refused to admit the English commissioners into Kars, declaring that they would not surren•ler the fortress until after the complete evacuation of Turkey by the allies.
