In addition to which we have the names of Mr. Nibet and Mr. Droaghet, which are probably incorrect. A despatch from Marseilles, published by the Morning Post, contains the following items : "Lord Canning had refused to comply with the request of "the people of Calcutta, that he would proclaim martial law. " Lieut. Howard Campbell, 78th Highlanders, had died at CaWnpore ; Lieut. Gowan, 18th Bengal NJ., who had been reported killed, was still alive. " The mutineers inside Delhi only numbered 17,000 men, of whom one-fourth were cavalry. 'ln the affair of the 25th, Lieut. Gabett died of his wounds, and Lieut. Elkington and Dr Ireland were dangerously wounded. On the 30th of August. before Delhi, some of the enemy's breastworks Were taken between the Sammy-house ar:d the town. All in the camp are elated at the prospect of offensive operations. "The waters of the Ganges and the Jumna are higher than ever. The exeessi rains render the march of the troops very .difieult. " The enemy was entrenched before C.iwnpore, on the banks of the river. " Cawnliore and Lueknow were provisioned for a month." FK&NCE PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING The mirk e favour shown by the Emperor Napoleon to Prince Joachim,.Murat—a very young mar, although said to be sensible. beyond his years, and a mere lieutenant in the army—bee .; seedling him to Berlin with the letter to the King of Prussia, could not fail to attract observation, and give rise to rumour~. One of these, which I did not consider. worth mentioning at the time, was, that Trine:, Joachim would be the French candidate for the throne of Moldo-Wallachia. Oilier names have also at different times been put forward as likely to have the support of thiS government if it should be finally decided to place a foreign prince over the Danubian Provinces. These reports may all be con sidered ns idle, and as set at rest by the fact that, should a foreigner be needed to rule over the country in question, the French Government will be an advocate for the choice being left to the Molds-Wallachians themselves In that case, and, if my information from the Principalities he correct, it is not probable that a member of the Bonaparte family would be selected. It seems a fixed idea with some persons that the Empeor Napoleon seeks opportunities of placiiig his relations on foreign thrones, but certainly up to this time there has been not.the least iedication of a desire on his part thus far to imitate his uncle's system. Up to late last night nothing had been decided at Madrid about the new Ministry. Nobody can understand the conduct of the - Queen, or what she is alining at ; and • some alarm seems to have been excited by the id - ea that had got abroad that Bravo Murillo was Considered by; her to be too liberal in his political views. Amid these unpleasant doubts and misgivings, general satisfaction 'appears tnbe felt at the fall of Narvaez and his colleagues, whose period of power, and especially its latter portion ,bas been marked by .every kind of illegality, jobbery, and oppression. Sanguine persons has entertained some hopes of Narvaez, whose programme was one of reconciliation and moderation, from which he quick!) , departed ; and lie committed the faultsof surrounding himself with persons whose unpopu larity infected him. His Minister of the Interior. M. Candid() Nocedal (eandil only in name), is probably the most unpopular 'man in Spain—a man whose recklessness of public opinion and neglect of common decency have earned him the moat odious reputation. It is well known that in Spain no great amount of talent is required to lift a men into a high place. Self-confidence, some aptness for intrigue, an abseucee of all scruples, and quickness in scezing au opportunity, have been the chief qualifications of nine out of ten of the ministers who, for more than 20 years, have misgoverned constitutional • Spain: All these requisites Nocedal possessed. Three or four years ago the notion •of his becoming a minister would have been scouted as a bad . jest. When once he had worked himself into office be commenced the mad gallop in which a beggar on hors:-back is proverbially said to indulge. His insolence astonished even those who knew him best. The manner in which he treated senators and deputies, men whose age and position at least 'entitled them to some consideration—leaving their letteA and applications for interviews unanswered, and in various ways slighting and offending them — raised np for him hosts of enemies. Alwayseies pised, he soon made himself detested. There can be no question that his presence by the side of Narvaez estranged from the Premier many who would otherwise have supported him, and contri buted hugely .to render impossible that un'oo among the Moderato party which the Duke of Va lencia, at.the op wing of the c9Ftes of 1857, empha- tinily declared to be his most earnest wish. To Nocedal was due the tyrannical law on the press, which has unquestionably been one promin nt cause of the fall of the Ministry. Moyano, the Minister of Public Works, although less bitterly disliked than Nocedal, brought discredit on the Government by his. notorious jobs. In short, there was no redeeming feature in the Cabinet, no one member of it to whom the Spanish public accorded its confidence or esteem. A long report by M. Faidherbe, Governor of Senegal, of his expedition against the Arabs of the upper country, has just been published. The chief exploit of the expedition was the capture of the town and fortress of Somsom. This fort was sur rounded by a wall 300 metres in circumference, five metres high, and about four feet think at the base. , The wall was made of stones. clay, chopped straw, and wood, and had eighteen towers serving as bastions. Within there was a smaller enclosure, defended by four towers,. The place was impregnaHe to native attacks, mountain howitzers were insufilcient to• make a breach, and it was necessary to bring up larger artillery. An at tack by a native chief in the French service WAS unsuccessful, but he continued -to blockade the place, pending the arrival of reinforcements. These, consisting of about 500 men, with 40 mules and three howitzers, • ascended the river Senegal, and landing on the 13th of August, commenced their march by getting into a swamp, where they had to wait the arrival of daylight. They then moved on through a most magnificent country, rich in wood an 1 water, and in a luxuriant vege tation, fig and tamarind trees rising to su:h a colossal height as.would render any one of them a wonder in Europe. The sight of the fort did not inspire the besiegers with great conadence of its capture, but it was resolved to sluing a mine and • try the assault by the baach thus made. The Arabs, however, intimidated by the arrival of fresh enemies evacuated the place in the night. There was some skirmishing, but with slight loss on either side. Somsom was sacked, the towers blown up, and part, of the wall knocked down. After this success a razzia was resolved upon against a chief who had first induced Al Hadji, the great saint and warrior of thatpart of Africa, to enter the district and attack the French fort of- Medina. The French were nearly 2,000 strong, including some native troops and volunteers. Their march was attended withall the difficulties to ba expected in that country and climate The troops had to cross numerous watercourses and to struggle through dense forests, which sudden cataracts of rain often convert into lakes. At last they came in sight of the village which was the object of their march, and which was protected by two large " tatas" or forte. A stream intervened, swollen by recent rains, and f among as it r tshed alcng its rocky channel. Two or three shells were thrown, and the infantry plunged, in a body, into the water. The razzia vas completely successful and the booty considerable,' consisting .of jewels. household utensils, 800 women and children, 500 cows, and a great number of sheep, asses, and other animals. The cattle served to revictual Medina, which had been block aded for three months. The unlucky Arabs fled, pet fectly ruined, and the expedition returned to St. Louiß, taking with them a great number of sick, but having lost few men by the enemy's fire. It is observable that the French have of late displayed great activity in all their African possessions, and are evidently determined to get rid of troublesome neighbours, and to give security to their colonies, if not to extend them. It would not be surprising if, at no distant period, measures were to be adapted to stimulate settlement in Algeria, by the concession of certain advantages to settlers. It might not be difficult to devise some plan of the kind, beyond what has been already done in that way. The Em peror seems to take a strong interest in the African possessions of France, and to be anxious to civilise and .Frenchify them. To this end it would, doubtless, be desirable to get persons of the better classes to establish themselves there, but to do this, notwithstanding, the proximity of Algeria to France, strong inducements must be held out. A. survey is now being made of the land bordering 'on the railways proposed to' be constructed in Algeria These lands will in time, dotibtle;s, become very valuable, and it is said that out'of them will,he„earved.gnajerats, to be bestowed on tlie great dignitaries of the empire. I am assured that the sentence of death passed . on Captain D3ineau has been commuted by the Emperor to perpetual imprisonment in a fortress. PRUSSIA: BERLIN, Oct. 13. The interest attached here to the varying state of the King's health is too absorbing. to admit of any ,other sul j let attaining any thinensions in men's minds. This , period . of the year is, under ordinary circumstances, of no par iCnlar interest ; the visit ing about of Royal or other influeneial personages has generally ceased by this time, with the return of short days and col weather, and nevertheless it is too early in the winter season for politics to have es yet resumed' their wonted place in the attention. of the coinmnnity. No wonder, then, that the presence of so important an event to the State of Prussia as the severe illness of the King , actually endangering his life, should exelud,! all , other topics, even if tney were interesting, which they . are not. In order to keep the population of Berlin correctly informed of • the state of the' Kula's health, copies of the offi !jai bulletins are exhibited in all the district police offices, together with tither reliable information on the subject. This, fore thought to prevent anything lika panic, has ex tended itself so - far as to cause one of the early bulls tins, although drawn up by his Majesty's own physicians, to be cancelled, because it mentioned that the King had been bled, and the s ime watch ful anxiety for other persons' equanimity, prevents any but the most guarded and favourable news being forwarded by the telegraph. The following is the latest bulleine of the King's health received by telegraph : "SANS SOUCI, Om 13, 7.30 flit "During the course_ of to day His Majesty the King has been free from further attacks of conges tion. On - the whole, however, there is - no marital change in the condition of His SCHONLEIN. '6 GItI xI,M. " WEISS." THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received files of papers from the Cape to the 17th August Her Majesty's steamer Penelope and troop-ship Belleisle left Simon's Bay for India on Wednesday, the 12th. The 0 jean Wave, with a portion of the 89th, was to leave on the 15th for India. Oa the 13th the ship Polonaise arrived, from Dublin. June 18. with a detach ment of Her Majesty's 9ith Regiment on hoard, consisting of 17 officers and 316 rank and file, under the command of Major Reines. The 95th was to have relieved the 19th in Cape Town, but, under present circumstances, the regiment proceeds to India. We take the following from the Cape Town Mail of the 15th August : The statement of the revenue of the colony for the year eliding the 30th June, 1857, shows a net increase over the revenue for the same period ending the 30th of June, 1856, of £91,319. Nearly the whole of this is due to the CUA toms, on which there has been an increase of £90,232. The total receipts for the year ending the 30th of Jane, 1857, were £376,990. The total expenditure for the same period £320,32J. Leaving a balance in favour of receipts of X 56,670 "In 1837 the revenue was £167,037 ; in 1847 it was £22.2.013; in the year ending the 30th of June, 7857, it was £376,999. As the revenue is &rived chiefly from customs, tracsfer, and auction dues. it affords a. pretty fair view of 'the nrogress of the colony in population, wealth, and mode of living. The value of the colony has thus been doubled in the last 20 years; is the last 10 years the progress has been more rapid, and if the powers now at work are vigorously applied and well directed, the increase in the next ten years will be.much greater. The increase in thelast 21. years has been generally ascribed to the introduction of fine-samelled sheep. That process is still going on and extending. But the addition of immi gration, new lines of road, and 'railroads, will effect a charge not less extensiTo In the total value of the colony.'' TOXTETII PARK BOARD OF GUATIDIANS. The usual weekly meeting of this board of guardians, wss held yesterday at the Public-offices, Park-plats. Mr. Horsfall, the chair man. presided. The other guardians present were—Messrs Robin son, Briscoe, Alpass, Leyland, Wilson, Batten, Mercer, Ewing. Pickup, Harrison, and Miller. The Clark read the minutes of the last meeting, which were con firmed. The Laster of the We►t Derby Workhouse reported that the number of paupers belonging to the Park then in the house, were 365 ; and the number in the hospital, 42. • Cheques to the amount of £iB, were voted for the maintenance of the out-door poor in the anion. ' The Clerk reported that t , ,e expenses of the deputations to Chorley, Wham and Manchester workhouses, had amoauted to £l4 8s sd, which was ord.rtd to be paid. A communiaa'ion was received from the West Derby Board of Guardian., in answer to au appl'cation ma 'o from that board, in referenceto the cost of the maintenance of the paupers, and declining to make any reduction. Mr. Alpass expressed it as his opinian tha' the West Derby Guatcrans were right in giving such an answer.

WALL- STREET. Re HARRISON, WATSON, AND CO. A meeting for the, choice' of assignees and proof of debts under this bankruptcy, was held on Wednesday, in the Bankruptcy Court, at, Hull, before Mr. Payne, the regisirar, officiating for Mr. Commissioner Ayrton. A. large body of creditors and so'icitors attended to take part in the proceedings. The principal suhjsct of discussion arose upon the tender of a proof by Mr. John Sco t. on behalf of the Union B ink of London, amounting to £26 000, upon certain bills of exchange drawn • by Burstall and Co., of Quebec, and accepted by the bank rupts. These bills were endorsed by Burstall and Co. to the Bank of Montreal, and by that bank endorsed and delivered to the Union &ink of Loudon, the consideration for the latter endorsement being the acceptance by the Union Bank of certain bills drawn on them by the Mon trival Bulk to a like amount. It was contended in opposition to the proOf that these mutual acceptances amoun ed to a mere exchange ofpaper, and that no money consideration having passed, the proof ought not to be admitted. In reply to this argument, it was alleged that the Union Bank were the bowt, fide holders of the bank rupts' dishonoured .acceptances, and that it was not imperatively necessury.that there shuald be a money con valuable one being quite sufficient. His honour assented to this view of the matter, and the proof was admitted. A long list of debts was proved, amounting in the whole to £3OB 031 lls 21; the a'oount of claims by creditors not yet proved is £13,000. Among the proofs were the Bank of Upper Canada for .€6,000 ; •Bank of British North America, £47,420 ; Union Bank of London, £21,000; City Bank of Mon•real, £5,000; Lo ;don Joint- Stock Bank, £23,450; Bink of England, £15,711 ; the executers of Mr. C. Bamford; jin , £23 312 ; and Mr. C. Bamford, £35,327. Tne assignees chosen are Messrs. J. B. Barkworth, of Cottingbain ;- Ur- Chap.nan, L-ntden hall-street, London; and Mr. Christopher Simpson, of Hull. TILE FATE OF T3E AM 811ICAN PACIFIC. (From the Paris Monitear.) The Maritime Prefect a' Brest has transmitted to the Minister Secretary of State for the Navy and the Colonies a note written with a pencil in English, and which was enclosed in a glass battle, found on the 14th of September, 1857, on the strand of Melon, in the , yndic ate of Porspoder (department of the F►nistere ) Great interest is attached to this note, which appears to have been written by a passenger on board the Ameri can steamer-Pacific, supposed to be wholly lost, with all hands, in 1856; and we think it our duty to publish its contents, verbatim : " Steam-ship Pacific, Eldridge, commander. Smith, passenger. Steam-ship P -wine run between two icebergs All hands lost. On the lat of April, 1356. Just going down, 2 p.m." The word " April" 13 written over a word effaced, fur the author of the note had first commenced with a capital M, as if about to write March.

THE BARRISTER Ali'D THE ACTOR. IMPORTANT TO THE LITERARY AND DRAMATIC PROFESSIONS., Fovßr.smatra v. BucasToltz.—This was an action hroufat in the Westminster County CJivt, oa Weine.sday, Vaintiff, Mr Albooy Faahlanqas, jun., against Mr. Buckstone the comedian, and the lessse of Vie The4tre Royal, Haymarket, to recover the sum of Itti ss, for wrongfully detaining a manuscript play, entit'ed " Hampstead Heath," and objecting to return the same, after a pram'ee to do so, under the following catraord nary circumstances : In litera - y and theat lest circles this case has excited a good deal of interest, and the coart was crowded with sdoctators. Mr. Buckstone was seatil by the aide of his solicitor, Mr. H. T. ilobert>, whilst th e plaintiff corriurtei his owa case. He said, in December last I sent Mr. Buckstone a written fans, entitled " Hampstead Heath," with hints and cats upn the times, for his approval and acceptation. It was at the racommendsticn of a matualThend that I sent the piece, it being considered to be psculiarly adapted for Mr. Puckstone's theatre, and meiving no answer in a fortnight, I wro e a letter, bat got ❑o reply. I wrote four or five letters upos the subject. re/nesting Mr. Bucksto,e to give his deesion, that I might know whether the piece was accepted or not. In aisver to a q iestbm from the court, Mr. Buckstone sail he hal not the letters in question. It was not his practic to keep such communications. Mr. Fonblanue: I directed theca misslf, :and posted them at Mduehester. Mr. Roberts: nava yon dastroyea them? Duzlistole: I Dir. ronbl nque: I wrote again, tailing him that I was much inconvenienced ; that the thing was of an ephemeral nature ; that it was spoiling, and would be of no value to me afterwards. I again wrote, with a cover directed to myself, with stamps, begg'ng him to return my farce, if he had not hal time to real it. I afterwards apprised him that I should come to town and see after it, my object being to obtain it, if he woala not accept it, and then to submit it to some other manager. Subsequently I came to London, and went to the Hayma.ket, but could not ace Mr. Backstone. Mr. Wyld, the treasurer, said Mr. Bucastone desired him to say that it should be left oat for me on the following day at the st age door. Daring the time I was in t)wn, I called five or six times in the week, then wrote on the 25. h of Mai, stating that I had been detained unnecessarily in London, tact I was exceedingly disappointed in having called so many tame., and that I should now have recourse to the last method of obtaining .t, and that nn ess it were returned by Monday, I & should issue a plaint. List Saturday the " Farce " was returned without a single word in apology for its lengthened detention. If Mr. Buckstone had written to me and stated that it was mislaid, I would have given him a year or two, but from the cavalier manner in which I was treated. I thought proper to adopt the present proceedings. In Gross-examination by Mr. Roberts, the plaintiff admitted that managers were almost in andatel with authors' productions, and ' ' that is was the custom to return them directly. Provincial theatres were not so troublzd, because they do not use pieces original. Original pieces generally appeared in London, - - In defence, Mr. Ro'serts stated that Mr. Bwkstone, in comin g before the ?labile is this me, did so upon principle. Metropolitan msn.ge 5 generally were inundated with the imaginary talented productions of authors, and the present wits one of those farces which, among many others, 'were left. at Bin Btackstone's door w,thout solicitation, whereas if he had asked for such a production no doubt he would be liable for its return ; but In the present instance it was left •o untarily, and the acme law would apply as in the case of a party leaving books at the door at his own risk. Mr, Fonb anque : But the farce was sta'el to have been lost. Mr. Roberts: The le mad plaintiff had drawn attention to what Mr. Wyld had &Ad, without anything to show that what that:gentle man may have said was in any way b ndiog upon Mr. Buckutone. He had also accused him of a want of courtesy, Whilst, but for pat wan t of courtesy, the defendant might have subjected himself to a hundred a - ,:.tiona in deteuue, inasmuch as Mr. Bnckstone would have had all the juvenile authors in England bringing actions against him, and be therefore very i.roperly did not reply to the communications so sent sod if he were to be held liab!e for all these documents, he might, instead of pleasing the public at night, have lost the whole of his time iu perusiali these communications. If, however, the Court ruled that the mannscrikts which were left voluntarily roust he returned, then it was clear that a new vursa must be adoptedi by the managers of theatres in future. Another question Mr. Et )berts submitted was that, even in the event of inability, had there been a sufficient demand ? Where were cens•ructive demands upon which the learned plaintiff evidently relied—aamely, the letters he had written—bat the precise contents sere nece,sary to constitute a legal demand, shich had not been given. And with respect to damage, he (Mr. Rolaerts submitted that there had n t been a gelatin , of evidence to prove that any was actually sustained. As to the travelling by railw , the plai,,tift — might as well have claimed his expenses from Jamaica, if he had at :sea to come from thence. (Laughter.) Most authors could put a good estimate upon their own productions; but as he had brought no one to spa is the value, would he take the opinion of Mr. Blackstone on the subject? —(roaewed lanahter)—who woald have been glad to mate "se of it had it been worth anything. The detention of the manuscript could have entailed 11, loss, when th• p aintiff admits th t, bat for want of courtesy, he would have all owed Mr.l3ue4 stone to r, tiin it for a couple of years. Mr. Fonblanquo repliel on a point of law, arguing that Mr. Roberts' admisdon, that had defendant replied to his letters he would have ranslered himself Pablo to actions in detenne, wet in iteel f snfii meat to ju.tify a claim fur damaged at the hands of the emit. The :earned judge intimated that there were diffic titles in the case, nd he would therefore take Pm, to coasider his j a 'ginatt, which he would give on Wedneslay next. Judgment deferral accordingly. Sr. CHRYSOS NM'S WOE" Iva MEN'S AVOCIATI,N. Last night, the Rev. J. hlacnaught delivete , l a lecture on the now all engrossing subject of India, to the members of the St. Chrysastora's Working bleu's Association. The chair Tlll3 occupied by Mr, Unwin, and there was a most numerous attendance. The keit a eccupicd fully two hours in its delivery, and was a spirited and graphic, though necessarily condensed, sketch of the h'story of India, from the earliest period down to the ptesent day, where the events that are no v pa , sing there have fixed the worked attentio• . The steps by wbioh we obtained poser and possessioas in India were well and clearly detailed, an.l the lecturer observed, that had F,,.x's Indian Bill heel passed in 1784, England would not now have to deplore the present mutinies Ile referred to the well-knowu tg.s of the ixtertninati in of the Itohilla tribe, by the Nabob of Gude, aided and abetted by the East India Cutup try, and urged that with sach an irtiqaito is act befo a us it was nit for us noeto complain that our rule in India had been al,byi one of jos'ine and purity.. He, in like manner, declared the recent annexation cf Oade a most ittiqaiteus act of aggre-sion, and asked how could we I e astonished at the few conversions to Christianity in India, when the lives of the Christian Europeans there, taken as a whole, had been anything bat the exemplifiaation of Christian morality and self-decial. Ile quoted frona the letter of General Jacob, to show that. the long disorganiie I sate of the Bengal army was a sufficient cause of the outbreak of the present mutiny, aria with him c indewned the practice of pampeting the high caste portion of the people, neglecting Ito in the nose of our - ar:ny to please them, the low-cast people, who, from tteir physical constitution, would mak better s and would be attached to oar power from motives of self-interest. He quoted film the speech ot the Earl of Albemarle in the House ot Lord', last Feb ruary, to allow that to:tures had bee practised on the nativee, ma a and female, for the, company's purse, by the company's native offilers, and with the company's sanction, since 1806, and asked if, having taught people to tottwe fir us, we had a right now to blame them for tor turing for themselves? Our fl a 5 no doubt would creep with horror at the late ern lties, and the perpetrators of them deserved pueishment, hut he regretted thit we had not long sines commenced the duty of ptu;ishing by hold ing up for Pxetr.tion end chasti , emalt the exterminators of the Iloh Ilas. In conclusion, the lcclurer spoke berm fully cf the prospect of the speedy termination i f the present troubb s, and exaressed whope that we would pr.,flt by the lesson which they taught us. At the conclusion cf his di course the lecturer was rewarded by a hear y burst of apilause. The young men employed in the R tilts ty C earing House Department, at the . London and North Wes ern Railway, have resoltei to form a brigade for military exercise, for the purpose of being duly (pal fled to do duty at home, if their services should be required, during the time , our aeldiera are engaged in quelling the mutiny abroad. They also urge upon all employers and managers of large public establishments to do the same. Mist of . the heads of the railway department have approved .the schetne. A committee is in course of formation to arrange the details and to communicate with Lord Panmure and the mi:itary aathori:ies to know how far they will be dis p,sad to as&st he project. We understand (says the Dumbarton, Herald) that a movement is on' foot in this burgh for the formation of a volunt.e: rifle c.r,P, bated led, we hmlieve,to ba composed chiefly of the working classes J. E. Gels, E•q., of Dumbuck, and several other gentlemen, are taking an active interest in the proposal, and several meetings have recently been held iu furtherance c f the object.

FRIGHTFUL COLLISION ON THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. Poser TALBOT, Oct. 14.—A fearful collision of two pas senger trains meeting each other on this railway took place on Wednesday about noon, between Pyle and Port Talbot. One child was fearfully mangled and killed on the spot, and broken limbs are unfortunately very numerous. The accident, if gross negligence can be so called, happened under the following circumstances : The d3O morning train from Cheltenham to Milford Haven had arrived in due course at Pyle, a small station next to Port Talbot, and was about ten minutes after its time. On arriving here a messenger brought the intel ligence from westward that. a truck in a goods train on the main line of rails—the Irish train proceeding to meet the packet at Milford—had broken down and blorked up the line. The messenger was accordingly sent back with instructions to return as soon as the line was clear, this not being a telegraph station. Before he had returned, however, another messenger arrived, and, having made a communication to the station-master at Pyle, the train returned back along its ewn line (the down line) about a mile, to a crossing at a place called stormy, where the Lirovi Valley Railway joins the South Wales. There the train crossed to the up line, and then continued its journey down upon the up line. Pyle was again passed, and the train had proceeded about a mile further towards Port Talbot, when the up-train, which left Milford at 7 5. and was overdue, was observed approaning at its natal speed on the same line of rai's round a curve. It, was too late, however, to avoid a collision, and the shock of the two engines was tremen dous. Bath engines, from their ponderosity, retained their position on the rails, but the tender of the up-train was thrown back upon the first carriage, a third class, which it mounted, crushir ' , in the roof and dreadfully mutilating the passengers. The tender of the down- train also was crushed back into the first carriage of that train, frightfully maiming its occupant 4. The scene of the catastrophe was frightful to look at, and to make it more fearful the up express train now became due, and its arrival was looked for every moment. The wounded passengers were, with some delay, got out, and laid upon the hank, and every assistance rendered them that could be afforded under the circumstances. Unfortunate:y, however, there was no medical man in either of the trains, but a young student resident near was quickly on the spot, and rendered valuable assistance until the arrival of surgeons from Port Talbot by a special engine in about an hour after the collision. One of the stokers was crushed in the wreck of the tender, and was with some difficulty extricated. The line was strewn with splinters of wood, broken iron, &o , and blood was sprinkled over the ground in several pearl s, rendering the spectacle (together with the groans of the injure) horiifying in the extreme. As far as we could learn in the confusion incident upon the accident, the following is a list of the dead and seriously injured : Robert Pa , mer, d aver of the up•train, broken leg ani severe cats on the head. .1. S. Lawson, fireman of the d ma-train, broken les and otb,r injuries. Mr. Ashman, pork botcher, Cardiff, a frightful!ys nashei leg and other ser:ous injuries abut the head aril faze.

She was removed bo Port Talbot, where her husband met her, and berms received prompt attention. Ann Harman, a young anmarriel woman from Nelth, internal itj cries Sarah Iltrman, aged four years, a fine little girl, who wad travel linkwlth her aunt, the list-named sufferer, was killed o the spo', her body lroing fearfully mangled, oat b ackened by the coils from the tender. Bidwell, severe injuries about the held and face. A woman, name unknown, bola lag+ br_ken. She was carried to a farm-home near. i An aged woman, name unknown, internal inkirie.. There wore also a great many other persons who hid received cuts about the heads and legs, and contusions on various parts of the body, and in fact two thirds of the passengers in the two trains were more or less injured. The above, however, are the most serious cases. As soon as a pilot engine had arrived from Port Talbot, the wounded passengers, who had been lying on the embankment close to the train, were carried into a goods vaa and a carriage, and conveyed to Yort Talbot, and thence the most serious cases proceeled on to the Swan. sea Infirmary, whore every attention was paid to them. Mr. Clarke, the general superintendent at Swansea, immedieely on hearing of the accident, proceeded to the spot, ant in ail !ncanticae all the traffic between Pot Talbot and Pyle was stopped. No doubt the most strict investigation will take place, and it is hoped that the person who ordered the down train to proceed on the 'Up line will be Droporly THE LIVERPOOL CLIR9TICLE AND Tab LEXINGTON. It is often amusing to think how some of our "best pub lic instructors" will commit the most egregious blunders in their anxiety to pick that which will pass amongst their readers r the news of the day. But that one of the leading organs of such a great mercantile and maritime commuAty, as Uverp )01, should so egregiously blunder, is quite as amusing as it is astonishing. The readers of the Daily Reporter of yesterday, were informed from authori tative sources—indeed from the log book, and from the personal narrative of the captain and chief officer of the Resolute to our reporter, of the total loss of the American ship Lexington, which sank in deep water with three of her orew off Puffin Island in Brandon. Bay, on the north west coast of Kerry, on Thursday last the Bth of October, and was seen no more. However, the necromatrer of the Chronicle of Saturday, October 10th, that is two days later, was enabled to snake the following announcement in his paper of that day The ship Lexington, of 1.000 tone burtho 1, remtly stranded in Dandram Bay, he , ban got ado it by the aid of thi steam pumping app,,ratn, belonging to the Now S earn Tug Company, and has arrived i.i the Mass/ in tow of the steamer .resolute. We hear so much of submarine doings now a days that we can only conjecture tho unfortunate L , xin,ron may have been transferred 'tinier au zter from V t.eacia to Liverpool in two days —cre tat Jadeas, or, is other words, it may be told to the marines; but we hlppeaed to see the Resolute steam out of Qtoenvown harbour at 5 p.m. on Monday, but she had no .Lexiilgton in tow or any other craft. Public journals are frequently subject to be m , bil'ormed as to facts, and we trust this announcement was only unintentionally inc•wrect, for if it w a wilful hoax, it was a cruel and hearCess one.—C,ork Reporter.
