POLICE IN TELL IGENCE.-SATURDAY. LIVERPOOL. DEFORM M. MANFFIELD. THE EFFECT OF A SPREE.—Lydia Radford, the wife of a carpenter, living in Christian-street, was charged with having stolen a gold watch, chain, and key, feom El;zabeth Lock, of the same street. "Mr. Cobb was for the presecu lion, and Mr. Black for the defence. The parties seemed respectable. Mr. Cobb opened the case by stating that on Tuesday last the prosecutrix, the prisoner and her husband, with a man named Ogden, were on a " spree." Mrs. Lock got tipsy, and the prisoner took off her watch, saying Fhe would take ears of it, by putting it under the pillow ; but, instead of doing so, the allegation was that she kept it. It had not since been found. He called the complainant, who said : I am a widow, and live at • 2 8, Christian-street. On Tuesday last I was drinking with the prisoner, her husband, and amen named Ogden, and at half past eleven, p.m., we went into my house; I was very ill, and the prisoner took off my watch and chain, saying she would put it safe under the pillow. I mis,ed it next morning at five o'clock. and never saw it since. Cr les-examined by Mr. Black : lam in business as a malemaker in Ch istian-street. I did not tell Mr. Clough that I gave her the watch to keep. Were you not very drunk? I was sick. I had at least two glasses. The prisoner had four glasses. Did you not fall down in an entry stupidly drunk, and did not a brick layer carry you in his arms into tle house ? Witness: Oh, dear me ! Mr. Black : I will prove all this, if necessary. Mr. Cobb : What was the value of the watch and chain ? Witness : About £l2. Mr. Bluck : Did the bricklayer kiss you. Witness (with a great start) : Oh, dear me ! dear me! Mr Bluck : I will prove it. Witness : Oh, no, no ! John Ogden said he was on the " spree" with the par ties, and saw the prisoner take the watch, saying she would put it up for safety. Mr, Bluck : Did y-n carry 11 ,, r in your arms ? No, I don't remember Mr. Block : Well, did you kiss her? (Laughter). Witness: Well, even suppose I did, there is no harm in that. (Great laughter.) Mr. Block: Are you married? Witness.: No; and what's more, I don't intend to be—at leest for some time, for I have had my share. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Black addressed the bench for the prisone-, and said he would not call any , witnesses, in consequence of the evidence. He dwelt on the respectability of the prisoner, and lashed the character of the prosecutrix in no measured terms. Thl prisoner was discharged. DISHONEST PORTER.—James Sinclair, a young man, a porter in the Liver Establishment, Church -street, was brought up by detective officer Patrick charged with embezzling 3s. 7Fel , belonging to the proprietors, Messrs. Allman and Carmichael. The prisoner was sent to Mrs. Gressier's fur the amount, and was paid, but instead of paying it over to the clerk, he used it for his own purpose. He was remanded for seven days. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—Ed ward O'Neill, a la bourer, was brought up charged with the manslaughter of John Dickens. The details of this case appeared in our reports of the Coroner's Court. The jury in the case at that mut fmnd a verdict of manslaughter against the prisoner. The evidence before his worship was the same as given at the Coroner's Court, but his worship did not think it sufficient and discharged him, but he was handed over to the police on the coroner's warrant POCKET PICKING UNDER THE GALLOWS --Thos. Griffiths, the young man who had been twice remanded on a charge of being concerned in picking pockets under the gallows, WES brought up. The details of this ewe were reported on two former oecaeions. Mr. Block was for the prisoner, and for the defence he produced a respectable kicking person, who gave his name as Ebeaezer Davie, who said—l am a tailor and draper, at 7G, Char lotte-street, Birminghem ; I know the prisoaer and his father and mother, who keep a public-house in Birmicg• ham, and his father has also a contract for ge.:ting sergeant armouries for Government. On the 10.1 Sep tember I got a message from the prisoner's mother to make him a suit of clothes, and on that day I measured him. The clothes were to be ready on 9a , u”day tie 12 h and on that day the prisoner coiled at my shop between twelve and one o'clock, to see if the clothes were ready. I told him they were not, but if he called at six they would be done He celled at six, and between eight and nine o'clock they were ready for him. I know him and his family. Mr. Black : Is he a thief ? Witness : A. thief ! no, and I was never more surprised in my life than to bear this charge. Officer 451 said he knew the prisoner tobe the compation of thieves, and to lodge with them The prisoner was remanded to this day again, Mr. Block kudly protesting against the course adopted. Rdward Tyrer, the keeper of an improper house, was sent to gaol for two months, for illegally pledging a watch, belonging to a sailor named Frederick liaison. Mr. Cobb was for the prosecution. DEFORM MkS RS BOLTON AND B. ITOLNIE. CRIMPING —Superintendent Murphy, of the Saiiors' some, summoned Wiliam Sinclair, of Litherl Ind-alley, for having obtained lOs esch front John Burn, Cornelius M'Namara, and Richard Mathews ; and for having acted as &shipping master without a license or authority. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the Local Marine Board. The de fendant did not attend. The evidence went to show that the men were induced to pay the defendant 103. each, on his promising to ship them in an Australian vessel; but it seemed the who'e affair was a crimping sham, and that he had no authority whatever to ship men f)r the vessel named, nor for any other. The penalty in each case, ender the act, is 15, or in default of payment, three months imprisonment; and the full amount, in mach case, -was inflicted ; the bench, at the same tims, complimenting Mr. Murphy for having turned his active attention to the 'hocking system of crimping carried on in this port. Soon after the above case was disposed or, no less than thirteen poor sailors came to Mr. Murphy, and stated, that the same person had obtained 103. from each of them ender similar false pretences. The advice of M'. Tyndall, the local solicitor, was taken on the point. It was said, the man had absconded ; and Mr. Murphy said, he would get a warrant for his arrest.

He bathed pith the other bathers like a common mortal. The Commis - iiary of Police, whose duty it was to inscribe the names of the b.ithers in his book, thus filled tip the blanks in his printed register :—" Christian and Surname," Count de Teck ; "Profession," King ; "Whence coming," Wurtenzburg; " Motive for Travelling," Health and Pleasure. A SMART WOMAN.—A Hartford riper (Connecticut) tells a story of a woman finning her huiband hanging by his neck to a beam is the house. She cut the rope, dragged him down stairs, held his herd in a pail of water until life was restored, and then larruped him soundly with a strap. Af,erwards hs went into her room and legan to show fight, when she attacked him with a rolling pin, drove him irons the next room, and locked him in. The n.xt day she gave birth to a fine boy, who weighe t sine pounds, and is doing well. SINGULAR SCENE IN & Criuncx.—At Bimenthwaite Church last Sunday morning, jut as the minister had eottchded prayer, an old women looked in at the window and whispered to the individual who was sitting close by, who immediat ly cried nut, "Isaac Thwaite's ti gas hyme ; his stack's o' fire." This surprised the congregation, who rose en masse and rushed out of church. The worthy minister threw oIP his su'plice and followed, but notwith standing their united efforts, the stack, which was a valuable one of wheat, was cansame I. There were several other stacks in the yard bat these escaped. The Ire is supposed to have originated with some children who. were playing in the yard with seine matches.—Cum berland Tacquet. CAPTURE OF AN EMBEZZLER. ON THE RAM UR511.-011 Friday information was received at the detective office ' in this city, that a man named J ose ph C app h a d absconded from Wiog, near Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, having in his possession £5BO, the property of the overseers of Wing, for worn he acted as collector of rates. A deectip lion of the delinquent was givLn ; and the information added, that he w is, well known , to the " horse betting community," that he was " reporter of sporting news for the London papers." and that it was supposd Le had gone to Manchester. Sergeant Sandford, of the detective polco, went to the race•grountl in the after oon, and there apprehended the prisoner on the grand stand.

At the weekly meeting of the cnuncil on Monday, the President in the chair, it was agreed that half the expenses attending the illness and funeral of the late Mr. Malachi Donohue, should be paid out of the funds, in the hope that the other moiety will be defrayed by the Reform Association, for which body also the deceased officiated as collector. The Secretary reportei that the private sub scription to enable Mrs. Donohue to maintain herself, and her two young chiliren had only, as yet, realised £26, towaris the £3O pr posed. As the deceased was so generally known and respected in the to vn, there are doubtless many of his friends and acquaintance willing to contribute to the rel'ef of his family, who have not been individually sDlicited to do so It may be as well, than fore, to intimate that persons thus unintentionally passed over, will render essential s rvice to the widow and orphans by paying their contributions to Mr. John Smith, the Treaqurer, 33, Dale-street, or at the office of the Association, 6, York-buildings. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. THE MURDER IN LEIGH WOOD. We stated, on Saturday. that,,Beale had been captured, and was brought into Bristol in custody of Norris, inspector of the Bath police. It appears that on quitting the train th 9 mob rushed on him, and with difficulty the life of the prisoner was preserved. He was at once taken before the magistrates at Burton Union Workhouse, where, after the evidence of Jones, superintendent of the Ashton notice, had been taken, he was remanded till Saturday. He volun teered a statement denying his guilt, admitting that he knew Charlotte Pugsley; she was a married woman, though passing under her maiden nime On Thursday, the 10th, after b-inging her from Freshford on the previous day, he handed her over to her hu4bend, whose christian name was George or Thomas ; he (lid not know the surname. They ware to have seen him on the next day, but as they did not come he returned to Daventry, taking with him de ceased's boxes, hoping they would be applied for. This statement varies from the one made to his fellow-servants at Daventry, whom ho told the boxes and contents belonged to a sister who was dead, and to attend whose funeral he obtained leave of absence "or a week. This is known to be false. The prisoner maintained his self-possession, and signed his statement with a firm hand. It• is supposed that Beale was in Bristol on the Monday previous to the murder, as he called at the shop of a tailor named Aplin, in Wine-street, early on Tuesday morning, and saw a cousin named Wood, a workman in - Mr. Aplin's employ. In the course of conversation he asked his cousin to mea sure him for a coat, and while Wood was so engaged he discovered that Beale had a small pistol in his breast pocket. On asking him why he carried such a weapon, Beale said that he had always carried a pistol since he was attacked near the lodge-ga'e of the house at which he was living, and that he always kept it loaded and capped. One of the workmen suggested that it was rather dangerous to have a loaded pistol about one's person, to which Beale replied, " Oh, no, a child could play with it." Woo - 1 saw him on Friday night, and again on Saturday morning at the workshop. In the course of conversation, the murder whi"h had been discovered on the previous evening was alluded to, and the workmen now recollect that, while talking about it, Beale turned pale and trembled. No notice was taken, however, at the time, as it was thought that Beale had been drinking rather freely. Beale was a married man, and lived with Pugsley at the Hon. Mrs. Hutchison's, at Dorset-house, Clifton. After that lady's establishment at Clifton was broken up, Pugeky went to live at Flora Cottage, Clifton, with Beale and his wife, and in consequence of some jealousy on the part of the wife, Pugsley left rather sud denly. Before taking his present situation, Beale lived at Park's College, near Bath, and took frequent opportunities of visiting Pugsley at Freshford. Mrs. Louisa Ford, housekeeper to Mrs. Bythesea, stated that a day or two before Pugsley left Freshford she withdrew her money from the Bath Savings' Bank, and that she also received £4 ss. on Pecount of her wages. It is believed the deceased had about £lO in her possesion at the time she left Freshford.

Rt.' war ACCIDENT.—Ou Fridsy ni7ht, about five o'clock, as the goode train from Liverpool was running into the junction, at P atieeft fur Clifton, the engine ran off the line, and cut up tha told fora short distance. The traffic was stopped for about two ho - urs, and then all went on as before the accident. No life was lost, and no ore saitained the slightest injury. The accident is suppos:d to have arisen from mismanagement of the paints. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR JOHN DOVETON —A leter from Vichy, of the 24th, eays—" An old distingaished Indian officer, General Sir John aiveton, K.C.8., aged 74, of the Madras army, formerly nide-de-camp to te e Marquis Welles!ey, died here yesterday. He was at th • taking of Seringapataro, and sPrved afterwards with dis tinction as a eavilry officor. His remains will he taken honce to-morrow nig'it, to be buried in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. at Paris." MUMS/ 'lt SEIZURE OF BRANDY.—A. beet containing 130 kegs of brandy was s:ized in the Beaulieu river on Thurs lay morning, by the coastguardsmen of he Lepa station. The smugglers had sunk the boat to await the first oppertnniiy chat usieht present its.if for them to "ran" the goods, but the booty was diacove-el at bow water, and taken possession of by the revenue officers. The spirits were depo ited in the a reen'a Warehouse in Southampton Docks the same afternoor. Dasezaous AND RrDICULOITS.— The Western Times states that at a South Doyen railway station, a gentleman, in getting out of a carriage, entangled his feet in a lat3'a dress. He was is greet danger of being dragged under the carriage, when the lady, reduce] to the I..st extremity, blushed, tied moved some machinery; a rash cf air was heard, the swollen garment collapsed, and the foot was reless d, hut at the dreadful cast of reducing the unlucky lady to a fourth of her former apparent size. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TUE LONDIN AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY.—We regret to have to announce the occur. nee of a frightful accident on the above line on Thursday evening last, by which Daniel Harvey Betts, a plate-layer, aged 56, lest his life. As the unrortunate deceased was returning fram his work about 6 p.m., and preceding up the line in the direction of the Shedwell station, he was overtaken when crossing the areh over Davonport-street, Commercial-road East, by the 5.30 up trimn from Wool wich. The buffer of the engine first struck him and pushed tim before it some dietaace al mg the line, until being caught by the ;guard-iron of Vie engine wheel, he was dragged under the train before the driver could stay its prog ess, and frialrfully mtVilated. His death wits instantaneous. We regret to aid the deceased has left a wife and MYbTERIOU'i DISAPPEARANCE OF AN ACTOR.—Some short time since, a young man from Loud .n, named Bow tell, was engaged by Mr. Blanshard, the lessee of the Wakefield theatre. On Saturday evening last he was taking a part in the pert rrnanca, when, in consequence of some impropriety in his costume, he was reprimanded by the manager. We believe the cause of the manager's anger was the appearance of Bowtell without a pair of glazed leggings, considered, it seems, necessary to the correct impersonation of the par , . Bowtall, remembering that a brother per'ormer had a pair of leggings like those in gees ion, went, in the middle of the performance, to his lodgingste fetch them. Strange to stay, he has net been seen or heard of since he left the theatre. Ths police have made inqui'ies in every direction but without sisecosF. He owed no debts, and has left all his clothes and a quantity of luggage, amongst which are seme valuable theatrical " properties," such as swords, pistols, dresses, Sao. The chief constable has for the present taken them under bis charge. Bowtell is described as being a very quiet. unassuming, gentlemanly young man. WOMEN AND PrtoyErins.—There is one thing that the student will be struck with, the universal want of gallantry manifested in the proverbs of all Languages towards the female sex, " Wuman'e beauty, the forest eche, end the rainbow soon pass away," say the ungallaat Germans; whe further uncivilly attest that " Women and maa'ens must be praised, whether truly or falsely." "Women are watches that keep bad time," and that " A woman's ven geance knows no blinds." The Italians are not so down right damnatory as this; but their hints are almost as strong as the Tentolic assertions. " Women's tears are a fountain of craft," and " Woman always speak the truth. but net the whole truth," says the Southern moralis's. addieg the. " Women know a point mere than the devil," ' ar.d that "Women: rouge feat thee may not blush." Then come the slandering Portuguese grinders of maxims, ae'elea they deliver according to this bad measure—" Your wife and sheep early at home," and " Women and glass are always in danger." The haughty Spaniard slates that " Women, wind, and fortune soon change." Jerrold, on the other hand, rather compliments the sex when he lays down his maxim, in "St. Cupid," that "To fan treason into a full blaze, always fan with a petticoat." Atheneum. INCENDIARISM IN THE COUNTY TYRONE.—We regret to state that malicious burnings, of late, have become very prevalent in the neighhourho dof Strabane, In all cases, the sufferers are Protestants, which is corroborative of the prevalent opinion, that the hurnings are the result of a Ribbon conspiracy; and. therefore, rendering it more im perative on the authorities to disc.,ver the atrocious m's creants, who are thus bringing disgrace on a hitherto peaceable neighbourhood. In adlition to former outrages noticed in our columns, we have now to report the burning of a stack of hay, the property of Mr. Creer, of Camus ; which took place on Thursday night week, and had it not been for the watchman of the Mem... Herdman, of Sion Mills, who discovered the fire, the destruction of property would have been immense. An attempt was also made to set fire to the byre, where a number of cattle were veiled. A lox tf lucifer matches wai found in the roof partly ignited. On Sunday night last, about nine o'clock, a fire was observed in the stackyard of Mrs. M'Farland, of Ballyaolinag The constabulary, under the command of Head constable Risk, and a great number of the inha bitants of Strabane, hurried to the place, but notwith standing their exertions to save the property, two stacks of straw and corn were consumed.—Derry Sentinel.

There was a short discussion on the jobbing, mismanage ment, and wasteful expenditure on the Irish Model Farms, under the Education Commissioners, arising out of a proffered exposure of the system by a gentleman possessed of documentary and personal information respecting its working and results. As a general principle, it was held that Government has no more business to teach farming at the public expense than it has to teach ship-buil , ling, cotton-spinning, or any other trade or profession. It was admitted that Ireland might once have been an exception to the rule, but contended that, inasmuch as Irish agricul ture is now quite as skilfully and prosperously conducted as either English or Se Ach farming, the circamstancia which rendered it one have passed away ; the costly and questionable experiment of training agricultural labourers and possible tenants, for the benefit cf Irish landowners, should be discontinued—the more especially as not one of these model farms has ever paid its own cost, or anything like ir. THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC MONEYS, A. letter from Mr. Henry Ll D d Morgan, of London, public accountant was read. The followiug is an extract : —"I have read the second report of the Public Moneys Committee, and have no doubt that it will lead to some good ; but you will observe that there has been a deferral naion to prevent the examination of any unofficial persons, so tha , .. I fear we shall have the accounts jumbled in the same way. However, if we get them to adopt your sug gestion of a Finance Committee of tie House of Commons, and if they carry out the responsibility of the Paymaster- General, as recommended, in addition to paying the gross revenue of the Crown lands into the Exchequer, we shall have made a long move in the right direction." RECRUITS AND VOLUNTEERS —ISDIAN MISGOVERNMENT. The recent offer from the Horse Guards of a commission in the army, to any gentleman possessing certain qualifi cations, who raises 100 recruit, was referred to as a beau tiful specimen of official management, since it is obvious that, by out Lidding the recruiting sergeant, ; nd probebly with his assistance, the military aspirant rosy procure the required number of men, and thin attain a cernmiesion for considerably less than the price which he would have to pay for it, if he purchased in the ordinary way. It was observed that there were great numbers of young men ready and anxious to env) • upon military service in India, who would not go as private soldiers, under the present ceneti ution of the army, which bars promotion against all who have not either interest or money. They would go as volunteer corps of gentlemen, on the understanding that, having served a cert-,in time, and hav ing distinguished themselves by pod cenduct and se vice, they should be entit:ld to commissions in the army, with the option of grants of land in India on condition of residing there, and cultivating heir allotments—in fact, such terms asiwere literally granted to German, Italian and other foreign mercenaries, during the lice war sv,th Russia, but never offered to British suhjscte, The feet that the East India Company throws all sorts of ob . dacles in the way of Englishmen desirous of settling in India, was mentioned as one reason for its present condition. With the exception of persons in the employ of the com pany, civil and mlitary, there were, according to a recent return; only a few hundred British in the whole of India. The bast thing that weld happen, both for India and this c metry, would be to sow the land bread cast with Earopeans. At present there were whole pr , vincee lying waste, an only half cultivated. The great difficulty in the way of settlers was the - want of satisfactory tenure. As a sample of this, a member stated that the house with which he was connected only succeeded lately in obtaining a thousand acres on leasehold, for the cultivation of the date tree. The East India Company granted no freeholds. A letter of Mr. John Bright, in which lie expressed his con viction, a year or two ago, that nwhing but some great calamity wen'd effectually rouse the parliament and people of England to the condition of India was (sited as a proof of that gentleman's political forecast, and a sample of ihe way in which the Home an: Indian Govamments have neglected the most emphatic warnings. The following extracts from a leading article in the Times of the 16th inst were read :—" There are people who go about dwellir g on Indian grievances, on taxer and tenures, and confiscation?; on neglected irrigation, costly law tardy justice, official corruption, and pe:iolical famines. * * The British nation have simply undertaken the office of keeper to a capricious and virulent animal, and for a moment forgotten the responsibility of the task Is has accordingly broken loose, and is now indulging its instinctive and habitual tastes. * * * • We have not made India what it is now showing itself. It is only doing now what it always did as losg as it could, and we happen, unfortunately, just now, to have let it have its own way." It was observed, with reference to the first pas• sage, that the evils enumerated by the Times, cf which it does not affect to deny the existence, are all proofs of the grossest misgovernment, forming, in the aggregate, an excuse if net a jurstiticaeion for revolt; and, as to the second, the plea that India is only a wild beast and Eng. land its keeper, was considered to be the most miserable pretext for neglecting all the duties of a government that was ever put forward on behalf of a Chitrian and civilised nation. MONOPOLY OF TDB HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. Extracts were read from the report of the proceedings of a public meeting of the inhabitants of Perth, Canada, published in the Bat hhurst Courier of the 14th inet. respecting the Hudson's Bay Company, at which several cf the speakers made honorable mention of the part taken by the association on this question. The Mayor presided. The first resolution—moved by Colonel Playfair, and seconded by George Karr, 14:sq., declared that the meeting highly approved of the sentiment, expressed and the reso lutions pissed by the Liverpool Financ:al Reform Associa tion, gladly availed itself cf the opportunity, publicly to acknowledge the services thus rendered by the association to the British North American Colonies, and pledged itself to carry oat by all constitional means, the views therein expressed. James Alen, E.q , said he frilly agreed eith the Liverpool Association, bat he thought they ought to have something more Canadian, and therefore proposed that the resolutions of the Toronto meeting should be adopted. On this point, there - was a good deal of dis cussion, in the course of which, one of the speakers, J. Deacon, Esq , said : He thought Colonel Playfair had gone to the hghest quarter •to get his resolutions, when he , adopted those of the Liverpool A er.tiation. The original I motion was carried. An address to the Queen and the Houses of Parliament, against the renewal of the license of the Hudson's Bay Company; and praying . that the claims of the company, under its charter, might be imme diately brought to legal issue and extingu'shed, was agreed to; and a resolution passed expressive of astonishment and indignation at the attempt of the Canadian Govern ment to make over, in fee simpl e , to t :, e H udson ' s Bay Company, for £5O, 46,000 acres of Canadian territory ; including the mouths of six of the principal rivers leading from the Canadian lakes, far into the interior ; and commanding the trade of the far north. This Trans-Atlantic appreciation, of the endeavour of the Association to arouse the nation to the evil conse quences of this gigantic monopoly, was considered highly gratifying. It was observed that amorgst the few English papers which have taken up the question, was the Illustrated London News, which had published two excellent articles on the subject, expressing precisely the same views as the association. The following is the concluding passage of one of them :—" Why then should not the British peop'e, interested in the extension and prosperity of Canada, hold meetings as they are being held in Canada, and combine their efforts and their means in an Anti-Hudson's Bay Monopoly League ? The question is one of the very highest importance ; and, as we Laid last week, if the British people and Parliament do not settle it in favour of British interests, it will be settled by the people of the United States, in a way damaging alike to the power and the pride of Great Britain As far as the people of Great Britain are concerned, it would seem to be their determination to allow the friends of the Hudson's Bay Company in the Colonial Office to renew its license, and eontinue the monopoly claimed tinder' its absolute and illegal charter, leaving the Osuadians to fight the battle unaided. If this apathy shoilld continue, the Americans, pursuing the same comae as in Oregon, will se tle with the country and the question, in the manner indicated in the tract of the association, and now by the Illustrated London News. At LEWIS & COMPANY'S, Ranelagh-street, HOTS are CLOTHED from tits Ages of Six to Twenty Years. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. On Friday, an inquest was held at the Newcastle Arms, Tuxford, on the four persons killed last Thursday. The jury viewed the bodies, which were laid on stretchers, in the large room of the inn. That of the Hon. W. W. Clive presented no marks of violence, except a supe-ficial cut on the face. The head of Miss L. Paget was a shapeless mass. The head of Mrs Heaton was crushed almost entirely flat. The body of Mrs. Pitman exhibi ed no out ward marks or injury, and her face wore quite a placid expression. The jury next proceeded in a special train to inspect the scene of accident., and other evidence was afterwards taken. Mr. James Smith, of Bury, Lancashire, a first-class passenger, deposed to th, exactness with which the time was kept. The speed was not such as to excite remark. He felt the accident all at once like a gun shot. The effect was as if a person had pat his foot into a bandbox and crushed it; did not remember any prayious oscillation of the carriage. Mr. Braithwaite Rayner, also of Bury, had not observed any jumping of the carriages previous to the accident, or anything indicative of an obstruction. John - Shaw, of Peterborough, the engine driver, ex amined—Was driving at the rate of fifty to fifty-five miles au hour ; did not put on any extra steam. The evidence of the fireman did not differ materially from that of the driver. Mr. Childs, surgeon of the Great Northern Company, described the appearances which the different bodies pre sented. In the cage of Mr Clive there is severe laceration of the left thumb, and a smaller wound over the right angle of the lower jaw ; no fracture of the skull ; the cause of death is uncertain, except that it arose from the accident; it may have been from concussion of the spine or brain. Kiss L. Pa:;et had a severe fracture of the Elan, and there was an escape of nearly the whole brain, also a fracture of all the bones of the lace. Mrs. Heaton has a fracture of the skull ; the top of the skull is completely gene from the base without any appearance of scalp wound. Mrs. Pit man had a simple fracture of the left leg, and some abra sions of the face; the immediate cause of death is uncer tain, and may have been fr.ms concussion of the brain or concussion of the spine . Childs stated that all the wounded persons were going on fey, urably, and that it was now hoped tho while of them would recover. The inquest. is adjourned to Tuesday next. The Observer, of yesterday. says: —The cause of the accident was stated in the first account that appeared to be occasioned by the breaking of one of the axlee, but this is not the case. for on examination, the whole of the axles of the carriages were found entire, and the tires of the wheels were quite perfect. It is the opinion of some who ere perfectly conversant with railway matters, that the acci dent originated in this way—The train, as befere stated, was one of those which the company term "special service trains," i e. one of the competing trains from Manchester with the London and North Western Railway; they sup pose that the speed -vihich was put upon the engine was too great for it, for at the time of the accident the velocity was between six y and seventy miles per hour, which exceeded the rate it should have proceeded; and that the driver finding on nearing Tuxford that he was in advance of his time, the breaks were suddenly applied, in order to slacken the cpeed, thereby causing a too precipitate check upon the engine, which had the effect of breaking the coupling irons, and separating the engine from the carriages. The impetus which the carriages had received caused them to jerk, and the parapet of the viaduct being too low, they were hurled beneath with most fe •rill violence, thus caus ing the deaths and injuries which the above list contains. IRON SHIP BUILDING. There are some people who will never allow any improvement to take place unless it is absolutely forced upon them. Such an one appears to be our correspondent of last week. It is futile to follow him seriatim into details—he is an alertnist ; and with these words we must dismiss him, as whatever premises 'he advances can only be taken quantum valent. In returning to the subject of iron ship building, we must again reiterate what we have previously enunciated—that it is a subject of paramount and national ireper:ance. We have no wish to propound either the theory of Mr. Brunell or that of Mr. John Clare, jun, of Liverpool. Their endeavours. though somewhat differing, are both tending to the right direc tion—that is, the extension of our mercantile marine, This accomplished, Government must follow in the wake, and we need not thsn fear competition with other powers. The question of wood and iron has been entered into so fully in other places, that it would be boet lees here to give rise-to a prolonged discussion on their merits. What Mr. Herring has confirmed of the perform tnces of the Himalaya we have previously sated. Wooden ships have done their duty in their time. Tnoee who have sailed on the ocean are perfectly aware of the superiority of iron. over wood as far as regards Sailing qualities. We are speaking now of earlier periods, when the compartments were net so arranged as they are at present ; and if an iron ship broke her back it became then a serious question—whereas the carpenter and a little tow could stop;;a leak in a wooden wall. There is no doubt but occasionally ships constructed of iron have been formed upon a false principle, and likewise that most defective material has been used. Mmy of these have been passed by the Board of Trade ; and if they have answered the requirements of the officials there it has been sufficient. The gentlemen there, we believe, have the requisite amount of talent for aGevernment office,aad no owner or contractor who is up to " red tape" stands any rick of being ques tioned by them. Another complaint has been made, that Lloyds' will insure:unseaworthy vessels. The gentlemen comprising the committee there have a high standing is society ; they are commercial men, and, like all other in surance companies. they take the risk at a corresponding premium. ()tie correspondent tells us that if Lloyds' did not insure vessels we should have most trustworthy ones. Indeed, he is prepared to build one to perform the voyage to Australia in 30 days. While another, although he believes irt, the efficacy of iron ships, yet conjures up " visions dark and drear" of great ships looming in the distance. We say at once, away with these alarmists. Merit should be accorded where it is due ; they who have struggled manfully in the battle should reap the reward ; this, however, in life, is not always the case, but sooner or later posterity does justice to those who hive achieved a great °Fleet. The subject is now fairly before the I British puttee; their common sense can judge between the relative merits of wood and iron, and it is not oar intention here to discuss their separate advantages and claims. The pretensions put forward by Mr. John Clare, jun., can now be tested, as he has constructed the model of a vessel which he states combines both severity aid speed. Thoso who have seen it observe that it is built according to natural laws ; and now that, as regards this gentleman, the question h is assumed a definite shape, we trust that ironenasters, merchants, and others interested, will calmly weigh, and dispassionat e l y j u d ge, the merits of Mr. Clare's invention. He has lab oure d t ong and hard in the cause, and it his improvement be what he avers, he ought in all justice to receive the reward. The corres pondence that has hitherto taken place must, however, have been conducive of great good; there are many en thusiasts, some wrong-headed gentlemen, and a few prac tical men, who have discussed this question, and civea the public the benefit of their lueuhrations. In presenting these to our readers, we shall feel satisfied if our eladea voure have but been instrumental in placing before the world "some grains of wheat" out of the many bushels of etiaff we have ilad,to 51:I.-3fining Journal. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. An vices from Palermo state that the electric telegraph between Malta and Sicily will be rea ly by the middle of October, and that the British Government will then only have to put dawn the cable between Alexandria and Malta to bring Bombay within 15 days of London. It is added that even if the submarine cable is not laid down between Cagliari and Malta. the admiral at the latter port can communicate the Indian news to the British government by sending a despatch boat to Reggio, in the Straits of Messina, where the electric wires are in com munication with Naples; so that the British vice-consul at Reggio could transmit the dispatch to the consul at Naples, who could send it on at once to Lord Clarendon, by which means some hours would be saved. The electric telegraph has been in full operation at Falmouth for about a month, and has proved to be a great boon to that port, and a great benefit to the numerous ships arriving at it, as it enables the masters of vessels to communicate at once with the owners. The harbour of Falmouth being the most westerly in the British Channel has . for many years been made a port of call for vessels proceeding to and arriving from foreign localities. It need hardly be asked of what importance such a harbour must be to the maritime interests of the country; situa ted at a critical point in the English Channel on the meridian of the termination of the coast of France west ward. It must be evident, that a few miles westing in the run across from that point, will carry a vessel clear of Ushant into the Bay of Biscay, and it must also be evi dent, that from any point of land, only eight or ten miles farther to the eastward, it could not be effected with the same course; and that every league farther eastward must increase the difficulty, until it becomes altogether hopeless to be accomplished with the same:wind by which it can be effected from the meridian of Falmouth: Thus it is clear that vessels might sail from Falmouth, while at Plymouth, about 50 miles to the eastward, they would not be able to leave the port. BOYS' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE, atjLEWIS and COMPANY'S, Ranolagh-street, LONDON AND EASTERN BANK. The majority of the shareholders in this unfortunate and sully mismanaged concern, are desirous that it shoald be wound up in. bankruptcy, as a full exposure of the proceedings of the directors would then take place. If Chancery were determined upon the board would escape this ordeal, ills expenses would be excessive, and the liquidation would be more protracted than in the case of an appeal to bankruptcy. Two shareholders (the proprie tors of two shares only) are attempting to secure the winding-up in the Court of Chancery, and the following circular has, consequently, been issued, signed by the chairman of the committee of shareholders, and a large number of the principal holders, to the effect that they cannot regard the application made to the Court of Chancery as calculated to produce any other than most mischevious results, impeding the realization of the assete, putting a stop to the collection of the voluntary contributions of the shareholders, creating an enormous amount of expenditure in the winding-up of a concern which is now in progress of liquidation at small expense, and the burden of which additional expenses must ultimately fall upon the general body of shareholders. The case is appointed to be heard at Ipswich to-d ay (Monday), befze the vacation judge of the Court of Chancery, when the petition will bs strongly opposed, in accordance with the wishes of the general body of sh %rah )lders. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. Wednesday last was another field day for the unfortunate creditors and shareholders of the British Bank, that day having been appointed for the last examination of the direc tors ; but as the balance sheet, extending over upwards of 800 folio pages, was only then filed, an adjournment was agreed to for two months, ai it will take quite that time for the different shareholders and creditors who intend to oppose, to make thermgelves masters of the details of this monster enormity. Mr Linkiater, however, improved the occasion to ht the shartholders and depositors know what ha 4 been done since the meeting in June last. It w'll be recollected that dividends to the amount of eight shillings in the pound have already been paid, and the assignees now hold out hopes that a farther div lend of two shillings will be realised out of the bankruptcy, but, that the remaining ten shillings, if it ever is paid, will have to come out of the pockets of the shareholders. No one, however, an'icipates such a result. T e utmost that is hoped for is a furthee dividend of 6e. 6d , and this ap pears to be very problematical. To nay this dividend a sum of £170,003 will be required. Where is this large sum to come from ? Mr. Linklater and the assignees rely upon the set which passed last session to facilitate a com premise, and which empowers the assignees to make terms with the shareholders and creditors, and to grant protection from process and ultimate release to the former body. These anticipations may be realised, but considerable doubt exists on the subject, and indeed the tone of Mr. Linklater's speech was not very sanguine. Numerous meetings have already been held at the Free masons' ravern and h.e, where, and a proposition to pay this additional Gs 61 was partly agreed to by a certain portion of the shareholders, and £lO,OOO was raised and placed in the hands of the assignee as a security that the £170,000 should be raised by the end of October. To this amount (e.P, l 0 030) Mr. Alderman Kennedy and the Hon. Mr. Stapleton lwgely contributed, but it does not seem as if much progress had been made in getting the larger amount in. Before this sort of compromise was entered into, most of the shareholders who had anything to pay with, were pounced upon by several of the more pressing creditors. Executions almost without number were issued, and those parties were7,eidier ruined or fled the country. The great body of the share holders are small tradesmen, ladies, and professional men, and these have lost their all, and have not sixpence to pay with, so diet it is hopeless to expect any' hing from there, and it is hardly to be anticipated that those vary, very few who have money will consent to be beggared. Most of those parties have fled the country, and although the official assignees have sent a circular to each, asking them to return and compromise their liabilities, is not very peobable that they will at present accept the polite invitation. As long as they are abroad they can set the assignees at d .fiance, and they doubtless feel they will be able to make much better terms when they are beyond the reach of the law than if they were at home. It is not, improbable, therefore, that they will prefer the tetupora-y inconven ence of a foreign residence to the wholesale loss of their property. At present, under the new act, all the shareholders are protected from process; at least no one can be proceeded against except by permission of the official manager, which permission, will be readily granted, at least so says Mr. Linklater, if the £170,000 is not forthcoming The objects of the act ace very excellent, as it permiis the official assignees to make such terms with individual share holders as each case admits of. For instance, a share holder may, perhaps, be eble to pay a shilling per share, but who could not pay a larger sum. To proceed against him for the full amount would only thud to involve him in irratrievat le ruin, and the estate would not be benefited. It would, therefore, be better to get a little rather than none at all ; but on the other hand, the assignees are not united as to the demand they may make upon the shareholders who have money; they may call upon them to pay even £lOO per share, and they have no option, as their estates are liable to the utmost farthing. We fear, therefore, that a final settlement of this unfortunate concern is still far distant. The expenses already incurred in law proceedings are enormous. Mr. Harding, the official manager in Chanc6ry, was allowed to retain £20,000 to cover his costs. The little bills of Mr. Linklater, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Freshfisld, &c , will, in the aggregate, amount to no trifling sum. The accountant's charges will also be very large, and ell these will have to be paid out of the pockets of the unfortunate shareholders. Mr: Linklater farther remarked that some misappre hension existed as to the nature of the criminal proceed ings now pending over the heads of the directors. It was imagined by some that the ex officio information filed by the Attorney-General embraced all the points in Mr. Commissioner Ildlroyd's celebrated judgment; but this is not the case. There has been no information as to the manner in which the original charter was obtained from the Board of Trade, nor as to the representations 'bat were male to the Board of Trade to induce that body to grant the supplemental charter. The information embraced the point' on which all were interested —namely that these gentlemen conspired together with intent to defraud the shareholders and the public. Mr. Linklater further stated that it was under consideration whether an information 'should not be filed against another gentleman, who was a parry to obtaining the original charter, but his name did not transpire. These celebrated trials will come on in November, and already most of the leading members of the bar htld retainers for either one or other of the defendants. The interest excited is quite equal to, if not greater than, the trial of Paul, Strahan, and Bates. It is expected that Lord Campbell will be the presiding judge on the occasion. One very sad case was mentioned the other day with reference to the failure of the bank. Three ladies, past the prime of life, had quite sufficient to live comf wtably on for their lives. It was all invested in British Bank shares. Every penny is lost, and even their furniture has been taken, and they are tow in situations as governesses Observer.

THE INSURANCE COEPANIE9 OP NEW YORK.—We have received a e. , py of the special report of the Insurance Commissioners, appointed by the Comptr tiler to examine into the condition and affairs of the Fife Insuratic.e Com panies of New York and Brooklyn, in pursuance of instructions dated March 14th, 1856. It forms a volume of 446 pages, embracing the ,affairs of sixtv-Light com polies. Two companies, the Ilopo and New World, organized since the appointment of the Commissioners, are not included. The ageregate capital of the companies lacattd in the city of New York and Brooklyn, incorporated ender the laws of this State, and examined by the Corn missione,s has reached the sum of 13,606,000 dole. The bonds and mortgages held by them amount to 13,923,763 do's., which are in Fen upon real estate estimated to be worth 28,650,5.50 d ls: • The amount at risk on policies of insurance is 498,151,744 do's. With two exceptiorls, the companies examined were found to be in all respects son formed to the n quirements of the State Law. Additional enactments are recommended to prevent organization of fraudulent institutions, such as a law requiring au annual investigation, or a public registry of securities, and the Comptroller should be possess d of power to designate 'a bank of deposit until the capital is all investe 4 , in order to prevent the use of borrowed capital as evidence of a legal right to commence business. It is further recommended that all insurance companies, whether domestic or foreign agencies, should be limited in the amount of risk assumed at one time on a single building ; also that insurance com panies be encouraged to strengthen their position by enlarging their surplus and re-insurance fund, for which there is now no inducement.
