We do not hear of any more gold having been taken from the Bank during the last day or two, the supplies brought by the Champion of the Seas and Asia having apparently satisfied the Continen tal requirements for the moment. Further arrivals of the precious metal are looked for with impatience, as otherwise it is feared that recourse will ere long be had to the stock at the Bank. The Directors of the Eastern Railway Company of France notify that the payment of interest on shares will take place in Paris on and after the Ist thu f November. As regards the old shares, k the interest u U ,: e T whole year, or 28f per share, - will be paid on tilt presentation of the coupon for the first six months. of 1856. The coupon for the second six months of the present year is not to be detached from the shiires, but to be reserved for payment of the dividend in May, 1857. The payment on the new shares will be 9f 90c per share, viz., 40e for 25 days' interest (to the 30th of April) upon 150 f; and 9f 50c as a half year's interest at the rate of 4 per cent. upon 475 f. This payment of Of 90c will be made upon present ation of the coupon for the second six months Of 1856.

PALM OIL, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, Sir,—As your publication is gaining ground, and is to be the leading journal of the day for commercial and mercantile information, I will tliank you, for the good of those persons it may interest, to correct an error which this day appears in the Liverpool Albion, edited by Mr. Charles Bean, in what they designate their " Monetary and Commercial Intelligence." They give an account of imports into Liverpool for the first nine months of 1855 and 1856, with the stocks in port 30th September, in each year. To a person of Mr. Charles Bean's deep penetration, this may be very accurate, and is quite in keeping with the untruthfulness he wishes to insinuate against me upon my commercial htkiness qualifications. I will show Mr. Charles Bean that the Liverpool Albion is only a fabri cation—that is, if he wants to impose upon the public with erroneous figures, in which he states— . . " Palm Oil, import into Liverpool from Ist January to 30th September was-1855: 45,270 tons. 1850: 38,290 casks. The import into the United Kingdom for 1855 was about 45,000 tons, out of which Liverpool had about 31,00 tons, the balame was into London and Bristol." If the Albion does not know the tons, not casks, imported in 1856, it is about 21,000 tons into Liverpool ; and the quantity imported since Ist to 20th October is about 5,000 tons ; and the quantity expected to arrive hero to 31st Dec. is about 6,000 tons, which, in the aggregate, will make the import into Liverpool, for 1856, about 32,000 tons. JOHN CLARE, JUN., Liverpool, 20th Oct., 1856. 21, Exchange Buildings. Sir Henry Barkly, the newly appointed Governor of Victoria, with Lady Barkly apd family, left Claridge's Hotel o❑ Saturday, for Southampton, where they embarked for Australia.

Lord Panmure, whose term of office in attendance on her Majesty has expired, returns to Glenmark for a short time to enjoy the sport of deer-stalking previous to resuming the active duties of his office as War Minister. Collisions between the garrison and the population are continually occurring at Malta. The local papers say that shops have been plundered, and police-officers ill-treated. One hundred and fifty notables have made a protest. There is a talk in Paris of a project for opening a monster cafe on the Boulevard St. Denis, which is to contain no less than eighty-six saloons, each of which will have a special decoration typical of one of the departments of France. His Excellency Count Kielmansegge,Hanoverian Minister at this Couit ; has arrived at Hanover, from his estates in Holstein. His l'_'Ncellency, accompadied by the Countess Helene Kielmansegge, is expected to arrive in town this week to resume his diplomaii9 duties. THE LATE MR. G. A.

QUICK PASSAGE,—The iron ship Don Diego has accom- I pushed an extraordinary short passage from Valparaiso to Swansea, occupying only 64 days, having left Valparaiso in the evening of the 10th of August, passed Cape Horn in 15 days, and from Valparaiso to the line in 35 days. During the remainder of the voyage she had light winds, &c., and anchored in Mumble Roads on the 14th inst. The Dm Diego has performed the voyage from England and back in six months and two days. A TAPSTER RAT.—The Normandie describes the follow ing incident, which it declares occurred in the cellar of a wine dealer of Caen :—" On Saturday morning as M --- was inspecting his stock as usual, he was much surprised to find the cellar flooded with brandy, which had escaped from a cask containing 100 litres. After a long examination into the cause of this mishap, he discovered the delinquent dead drunk in a corner. It was an immense rat, which had, it is supposed, become entangled in the cock of cask, and in its struggle had turned it and made a slight opening, through which the brandy had gradually escaped. The animal had also thrown down a bottle of liinor, which it probably partook of until it became quite overcome." On Friday the 17th, his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours, their Royal Highnesses the Counte d'Eu, and the Duke d'Alescon, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince Philip of Wurtemberg, by General Comte Dumas and suite, honoured with a visit Captain Lendy's military establishment at Sunbury.

After having visited the various field-works, batteries, &c., and partaken of some bread baked before them by the students in their field ovens, they inspected the collection of military models, the studies, dormitories, &c. His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours paid the minutest attention to all the details, pointing them out to his sons ; and after having spent upwards of thre e h ours on the grounds,the illustrious party took their d e p arture froni Captain Lendy , expres sing their entire Satisfaction, ' FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 1 FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING At a council of ministers held to-day at St. Cloud, the terms of the note on the Neapolitan question, which is to appear in the Monittur, were settled. This is the only fact of political interest that has come to my knowledge to-day. • From an article in the Constitutionnel, it appears that the Conference of Paris—that is, the second congress—which was nominated by the Peace Congress, is decidedly to assemble very shortly to come to an understanding on the question of Bol grad, and others affecting the Principalities. This journal declares that the French Government " demands energetically the categorical execution of all the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris." It refers also with some bitterness to the continued occupation of the Principalities by Austria. Touching this said Austrian occupation, it appears that the French Government really takes it much to heart. The Vienna papers say that it has addressed a note to the Austrian Cabinet, demanding the cessation of it. The Emperor to-day received the Birman Am bassadors. They and their suite went to St. Cloud in several carriages, and their attendants carried large parasols, or rather umbrellas, for such they were, as a sign of their dignity. The Emperor afterwards went to Satory, where he passed in review and manoeuvred the troops of the garrison of Versailles. His Majesty has lately been rnanceuvring the troops a good deal. In thus taking the actual command of them, he, no doubt, only indulges his taste for soldiering; but some gravely declare that he is learning how to command vast bodies of men preparatory to the " next war." A slight improvement has taken place on the Bourse to day. We learn by telegraph, via Vienna, that a saner . guinary conflict between th e gen d arxnene an d th e population, has taken place, at Moldolba, in the Roman States. 'No details are showing themselves as to the long-expected crash. A Madrid paper mentions a rumour that a large amnesty is to be granted, but we have received no confirmation of the fact. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING T have no news to communicate to-day. Atten tion continues to be fixed on the Neapolitan affair, and the greatest curiosity continues to be mani fested with respect to the note which is to be inserted in the Moniteur in a day or two. The Emperor and Empress have left to-day for Compiegne, where they intend to pass a fortnight. It is stated that the - Emperor, in a recent inter• view with Lord Howden, our minister in Spain, who has been for some time in this city, assured his lordship that it was his intention to continue to act in accordance with England in Spanish affairs. The weekly commercial report represents trade as very dull, not only in Paris, but in the provinces. We have accounts from Constantinople to the 9th. They confirm the strange fact mentioned in a telegraphic despatch the other day, of the Cir cassians having defeated the Russians, and taken from them 600 priGoners and a number (it is said 16) guns, This affair is said to have taken place near the Labs.. It is added, that in another affair near the Kouban, they were also defeated, with a loss of five guns. The accounts assert positively that a French fleet was to return to the Black Sea. Also, that the English had sent an expedition of 15,090 men into the Persian Gulf, but that Turkey had solicited the mediation of France. The Sultan had requested the new bast to advance £1,000,000 sterling, and to regulate the circulation of moneys. A 11r arpeilles despatch says, that Marshal Ran• don had published an order of the day, felicitating the troops on their recent :victories in Kabylia, and promising that they shall make the conquest of the whole of Kabylia in the spring. NAPLES AND THE WESTERN POWERS. The Moniteur of yesterday publj.shes the expected article on Naples. It says that the observations exchanged at the Congress on the condition of the different States were received in a spirit of cordial understanding, except by Naples, which alone haughtily rejected the councils of France and of England, although offered in the most amicable form. The measures of rigour adopted by the Neapolitan government would compromise order in Europe. The counsels of France and England have been discarded, and the King has thought fit to persevere in a fatal course. Hesitation was no longer warranted, and it became necessary to break off diplomatic relations with a court which had itself so considerably altered their form and character. This suspension is not an act of intervention nor of hostility. As the safety of the subjects of the Western Powers may ba compromised, the squadrons will be united, but not sent to the waters of Naples, so as not to offer encouragement or support to the discontented, who endeavour to upset the throne of the TWO Sicilies. If the King return to better sentiments, the two Powers will renew the same relations with him as formerly. .rreri ft ALGERIA There is news from Algiers of the Kith. Marshal Randon, before leaving the army, published an order of the day, in which, after congratulating the soldiers as having been victorious in twenty fights, he promised them that they should " conquer Kabylia in the spring." THE EAST The Presse d'Orient announces positively that a French naval division will return to the Black Sea. . . The Sultan has asked the new Bank to negotiate a loan of 25,000,000 f. It is announced that 16,000 English troops have made an expedition into the Persian Gulf in consequence of the taking of Herat, which is considered as a violation of the treaty of 1853. A letter from Bagdad of Sept. 21, states that Lord Murray was about to leave for Bombay. At the date of the oth corn was calm at Con stantinople. Vessels arrive in the Black Sea, but there is a scarcity of merchandise in the ports of the Sea of Azoff. PORTUGAL. By the arrival of the Minho screw steamer at this port, on Sunday night, from Lisbon, we have received advices from that city to the 14th inst. The Peninsular packet Madrid had arrived from Southampton on the 11th, and left next day for Cadiz and Gibraltar. The royal mail packet Tamar, with the outward mail for South America, coaled at Lisbon on the 13th, filled up all her spare passenger berths, and left in the afternoon for Madeira. Hertfajesty's ship Brunswick left Lisbon for ~Talta on the 12th, and on the same day the Dutch schooner Alberdina, Captain E• S. Scherpbier, arrived from Newcastle with the captain, Richard Sayton, and the crew of the brig Myth, of Hartlepool, which was lost in Ist 45.30 N, lon 6,10 W, while upon her voyage from Barcelona to Swansea in ballast. BURGLARIES IN BRISTOL,—Witbi❑ the last week severa daring burglaries have been perpetrated. On Saturday the office of the Bristol Gazette was entered, and the thieves having made their way into the counting house, rifted it at leisure, forcing open all the drawers, and tossing the books, papers, &c., about in every direction. The amount of booty obtained was but small, consisting of about £1 in silver and copper, taken from an iron safe, which was forced open, and about tho same amount in postage and receipt stamps; On the same night a burglary was committed on the premises of the Bristol - United Gas Company, in Lime kiln lane. The robbers with great labour drilled through an iron door leading to the book repository, having opened which they came to a second door, which they attempted to blow open with gunpowder, but failed in removing the bolts. The plunder obtained was consequently confined to a small number of postage stamps. On Thursday night the offices of Messrs. W. Bevan and Qirling, solicitors, Small street, were broken into, apprently by some person well acquainted with the premises, as the drawer in which the cash was kept was the cnly place which the thieves visited. This was forced open, and about £7O in cash abstracted. Several checks which were in the drawer were left. The police are on the alert, and there is good reason to believe that the perpetrators of the latter robbery will be detected. APPALLING ACCIDENT AT THE SURREY GARDENS. FLIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE. On Sunday night a deplorable calamity--resulting in the death of seven persons, and in personal injuries more or less serious to many others, of whom the exact number cannot at present be ascertained, though at least six have been taken to Guy's Hospital—happened at the Surrey Gardens, uni versally known as a place of popular recreation for the inhabitants of the metropolis. Of late additional interest has attached to these Gardens through the efforts of a com pany conducted on the limited liability principle, whose property it has become, and who have expended a consider able sum of money on the artistic arrangement of the grounds, and especially on the erection and decoration of a large Music-hall, capable of accommodating 10,000 persons. There, nightly, for some months past, at a charge so low as scarcely to exclude even the poorer classes of the metropolis, the public have had an opportunity of listening to some of the finest operatic music by Mario, Grisi, Alboni, and many others of kindred reputation, accompanied by an orchestra of great efficiency under the direction of M. Jullien. 'f here are many other objects of interest within the precincts of the place, but music has been the principal source of attrac tion. So much for the Gardens, and now for the cause of this deplorable calamity. During the last few years the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, a preacher belonging to one of the denominations of Dissenters, and a young man not more than 25, has by a style of oratory peculiar to himself become the object of great popu larity, chiefly among the humbler, but also among a consi derable number of the middle classes residing on the Surrey side of the river, which popularity has gone on increasing to such an extent that the chapel in which his religious services were conducted became wholly inadequate to accommodate the !Ambers who flocked to listen to him. In this emer gency he removed to Exeter-hall on Sunday evenings, a here he has lately been preaching to crowded audiences, while hundreds have gore Away from time to time unable to obtain admission. For an hour or two, indeed, before the doors were opened, large nu eibers of people were accustomed to assemble in the Strand in front of the building on a Sunday evening for the purpose of gaining access. The regular members of his congregation were previously admitted by a private door on the production of tickets, which gave them that right, and after they were comfortably seated the gene ral public were allowed to enter until the hall was densely crowded. The gates were then closed and a board hung outside intimating to all who came afterwards that the build ing was full. This arrangement continued for some time, and under it the popularity of Mr. Spurgeon went on augmenting. In the course of the service a collection was invariably made among the audience, the proceeds of which, after liquidating the expenses connected with the occupation of the hall, were partly destined, as he was accustomed to announce, to the erection of a new chapel for the especial use of his congregation, and which was intented to accommodate some alm st incredibly large number of people. At last, a week or two ago, his services were discontinued at Exeter-hall, and he sought for another locality into which to herd his flock. The result was that he entered into an arrangement with the directors of the Surrey Gardens for the use of their Music-hall for four Sunday nights at £l5 a night, and Sunday evening was the first on which he preached there. Unhappily the occasion, fraught as it was with so fearful a calamity, will not soon be forgotten. This fine building is oblong in shape, with two, if not three galleries, owe above the other, extending the a'hole length of the edifice, with various points of ingress and egress. It is lighted by windows of plate-glass and fitted up in all respects with great taste. It is capable, we believe, of hold : ing 10,000 persons ; but last night, while the service was being held, and when the accident now being related occurred, it is estimated that there could not have been less than 12,000 or 14,000 present, During the week it got noised about that Mr. Spurgeon intended to preach there, and the result was that an enormous number of people went to hear him. Besides the large crowd who obtained admission into the hall, there were at least 1,500 in the adjacent grounds for. souse s t , h o e oo en or tre d n ,O ee oO te m t o h r e e in n ho th m e there was streets abuttin g Gardens who were also excluded. They have now much reason to be thankful for what, doubtless, they regarded as as str n e o roo n anl up a misfortune at the moment. The regular members of the congregation were permitted to entee the edifice before the rest of the public, in conformity with the practice at Exeter-hall, and it was near 7 o'clock before all who were admitted were accommodated with seats or with standing room, and before the service began. Several police constables were stationed at the points of entrance, and others in plain clothes were sc atoned through he audience, among whom was S ergean t C opp i n, who afterwards did some service in mitigating the disaster. Mr. Superintendent Lund, of the metropolitan police, happened also to be there with his wife and daughter, and they occupied seats ime mediately in front of the pulpit on the basement floor. The service commenced by singing a hymn which was followed by a chapter read from the Scriptures by Mr. Spurgeon. This done, the minister stood up to pray, and had uttered a few words when an alarm of danger was given, and in a few moments the whole of the vast aseatubly was seized with a feeling of consternation. The accounts vary as to the exact words ' used to sound the alarm. Some say that it was a cry of " Fire," which proceeded from a person in the uppermost gallery ; others that the word used were, " The roof, the roof l" that they eman ted from some people on the basement story and were accompanied by the tinkling of a bell. But, whatever the cry, the people in all parts of the hall rose en masse in a state of the greatest terror, and made for every point of outlet from the place with the most frantic eagerness. The scene is said to ha ve been one of indeseria b ble agony and confusion. The despairing shrieks of women and children were heard above the roar of voices which proceeded from the platform and from the ground floor of the building, chiefly imploring the people to remain quiet ; but in vain as respects the great body of them, for they rushed terror-stricken towards the doors with the most fearful precipitation, and numbers, finding that a slow means of retreat, dashed themselves through the windows, made of plate glass, a quarter of an inch thick, and sustained more or lees injury in the attempt. One poor woman, especially, was seen to throw herself first through a window in one of the galleries, and then, alighting on the portico over the front of the building, to jump to the ground, a distance of between twenty and thirty feet. She was found fearfully cut in the face and with nearly all her front teeth knocked out. Many others leapt from the galle ries to the ground floor in their hot haste to escape. It was stated last night, by Mr. Superintendent Lund, that during some part of this scene of terror, Mr. Spurgeon continued his prayer. This was probably done with the view to allay the excit e m e nt, b u t it was a lt oge the r ineffectual. 'We have it also, on the same au th or ity, t h a t a ft er th e co nfusion had in some measure subsided the money boxes were sent round for a collection, but we cannot credit such an assertion. We need hardly add that the alarm resulting in all this deplora ble loss of life was altogether a false one, that there was no fire and no danger from the falling of the roof, The means of descent from the first gallery was by a circular stone stair case, which was protected by an iron balustrade, and in the overwhelming rush to escape by this outlet the balustrade gave way and many people were precipitated upon the stone floor beneath. There, it is supposed, some were killed by the fall, or afterwards trodden to death under foot. Five of the unfortunate persons who lost their lives were taken to the workhouse, at Newington, and on the visit of our reporter their mangled bodies had been decently composed and covered over, through the considerate instructions of Mr. Feist, the master of the establishment. They consisted of four women, only two of whom had then been identified, and one fine young man, 26 years of age, and about 6 feet high, who bad been identided by a cousin who accompanied him to the Surrey Gardens, as Samuel Heard, a labourer, residing somewhere in the borough. The two women, who have been recognised, were Harriet Barlow, aged 30, married ; and Harriet Johnson, the latter a single woman, who resided with h er f at h er at 6, Newnham terrace, Hercules-buildings. The poor woman Barlow has left a husband and two little children to lament her lose, and she was far advanced in pregnancy. Her husband, who came to the workhouse to identify her, remained there for some time in a state of distraction. The father and sister of the young woman Johnson also attended on the same melancholy errand, and we shall never forget their look of mute despair when they were shown their dead relative All these four hapless women were respectably dressed—two of them, not then identified, rather elegantly, and one of the latter wore a wedding ring. Mrs. Grace Skipper, a lady of great respectability, residing at 40, Dobson-terrace, Kennington, was also among the dead. She was removed to her own house. A very respectable boy, about 13, name unknown, was likewise killed in the crash, and carried away by his father, who accompanied him, and who was in a state of inconceivable grief. Again, it was ramoured that a woman residing in New-street, near the surrey Gardens, whose name could not be ascertained, had died, after being conveyed home, from the injuries she had sustained, ae had also a gentleman residing in Doddington . -groye, Bennington. Of the people who were crushed and injured in the struggle five were taken to Guy's Hospital—four men and a little girl about six years of age. Their names were Thomas Fewer, of 15, Grange-road, Bermondsey, who has sustained a simple fracture of the left thigh; George Lane, a married man with three children, living at 1, President-street, Goswell-road having a comminuted fracture of the right arm ; John Ark. wri ght , 100 , Long lane, Bermondsey, single, much crushed about the throat and abdomen • and E. Whitnall, 24,a leather dre sser, residing at• 3, iohn's place, Grange road, Bermondsey, some rather severe scalp wounds and injuries across the loins, The little girl . , beyond a slight wound in the mouth, was not otherwise hurt, but was much frightened. She is so young and so terrified as not to be able to articu late her name, but it sounds like Margaret Restpn. She is also unable to otata where she lives. bhe is dressed in a light drab frock, a gray squirrel victorine, and a pair of black cloth boots. Under the prompt and humane attention of Mr. Valentine, the house-surgeon at the hospital, and of Mr. R. Hicks, the dresser, they were all doing well at eleven o'clock on Sande) , night, and there was then no ap , prehensi on t h at any ease there wou ld prove fatal. An eye witness of th e scene in t h e c h a p e l w r it es th a t, among t h e wounded were t wo gent l eme n with their thighs b ro k e n, and women and m en were to b e see n stretch e d a l ong th e stone steps with th e raging and maddened crowd trampling over them,while oth ers droppe d th roug h th e ga p i n th e balustrades to the corridor below. One man was for some minutes in such a position that many thought he would have been hanged. He was only released by a lady, who had thrown herself off the staircase, coming i❑ contact with him in her descent. Our cotemporary, the Daily News, supplies the following additional particulars :—" The Music-hall was filled within a few minutes after the opening of the doors ; and by half past six from 200 to 300 people, who could not obtain standing or sitting room inside, had stationed themselves round the exterior of the hall, but within the gardens. Service commenced at the time appointed; and for some twenty minutes all went right. However, at a few minutes before seven o'clock, those two cries which have so often proved fatal in large assemblies were heard to issue, first from one and immediately afterwards from several parts of the building— the words " Fire," and " The gallery is falling," at first whispered, were in a second or two shouted in agonising accents by a thousand voices. Screaming and rushing, of the most confused and terrifying description, followed those false, and, as many think, malignant alarms. The staircases were at once chocked by a dense stream of people, all rushing, or rather tumbling, towards the places of exit; but this was not the only movement. Hundreds rushed towards the windows, and dashed through them out upon the iron balconies that surround the building. The alarm in the body of the hall was quite as great. The occupants of the benches on the ground floor imagined that they were about to be buried beneath the falling galleries, and there was an instantaneous movement to the doors and windows. Most of the latter open from top to bot tom, doorwise, but were barred across on this occasion. However, neither bolts nor bars stopped the panic stricken crowd, but they jumped —men, women, and children—through the closed casements, shivering sashes and glass to atoms, and presenting bleeding faces, arms, and hands. In a moment or two after the first alarm, a mass of people had reached the lower landings of the staircases, and the pressure on the ballustrades became so tremendous, that six er eight feet of the handrail and metal supporters on the east side of the hall gave way with a frightful crash, at a height of some twelve or fourteen feet from the basement. A number of persons were at once precipitated to the flagway of the passage, and in this fall some lives were lost. At nearly the same instant the balustrade of the staircase at the eastern side also gave way, but fortunately very near the ground —not higher than six feet up. Here there was, of course, also a fall of a number of people, but not to so serious an extent as at the other side. The cries of the frightened and wounded were now so loud and piercing, that they were not only beard all over the gardens, but for a considerable distance round the neighbourhood of `Val worth and Kenning ton. Many of the inhabitants' of these localities were them selves in the ball at the time, very many others had relatives or friends there, and, fearing the worst, their consternation was dreadful. Numbers rushed without hats or bonnets iuto the gardens, calling for their children, brothers, husbands, or wives, as the case might be, and were met by a confused mass of people, who thought that they would not be safe so long as they remained within the gardens, and were therefore flying at the top of their speed. The gardens, with the exception of the patch leading from the principal entrance, were in darkness ; for, though the interior of the hall was brilliantly lighted, the crowds inside prevented the lights from being any use to those outside. The consequence was, that the persons who rushed out through the lower windows ran in directions the most contrary to the one they wished to roach. Some of them ran into the lake situated in front of the panoramic view of Con stantinople. But the appearance of the gardens was melancholy in the extreme. Everywhere about were wounded or frightened individuals, some asking to be carried to the hos pital, others requesting to be allowed to, be where they were, and the greater number calling for water. Persons ran about crying " Police," and Are there any medical men hero ?' and anxious relatives went from place to place to see if those whom they sought were amongst the injured. The darkness, of course, added very considerably to the confusion, and it was some time before either dead or wounded could be remoyed t though the police on duty showed very great acti vity in procuring cabs for the removal of the victims. In the midst of this scene, several gen tlemen appeared on the balcony surrounding the ten storey of the building, and shouted to the police So look sharp after the pickpockets, adding that it was soma of those villains who had raised the false alarms and so caused all the mischief. About the same time some thousands had returned to the hall, which is said to hold 10 000, and the Bev. Mr. Spurgeon commenced his sermon by asking his auditory why they had run out when an alarm was raised, and following that interrogatory by an enquiry as to whether it was not their conscience--the fear of what would follow after a sudden death —that had induced them to do so. H 0 then proceeded to say that he could not, of csmrse, atter such an occurrence, preach to them as he would wish, but he would preach to thorn for the usual . time if they thought at to remain. gore another alarda and another rush took place, but not to anything like the same extent as the former. However, those who remained were evidently very ill at ease, and it is no wonder that they were so, for the cries that reached them from the outside were heartrending. Many had become separated from their friends in the first great rush, and ran frantically about the gardens calling them ky name, and asking every one they met had trey teen pollens who were quite unknown tt, the great number to whom these questions were addresSed. Under these circumstances Mr. Spurgeon brought the service to a conclusion, after a hymn bad been sung The remainder of the congregation then left the hall. A collection was made as they moved. out, and certainly the rattling of money-boxes sounded not a little strange on so very melancholy an occasion, when some hundreds were screaming and crying, and Corpses were being removed from tho scene of so fearful a catastrophe. Tho same paper supplias another account. Mr, 2..roirgestn made hie appearance i❑ the midst of his vast auditory at half-past six o'clock, and gave out a hymn, which was sung. He then proceeded with an " exposition" of a portion of St. Luke's Gospel, on which he delivered a most exciting harangue, which in some places was cheered by those who took an interest in the proceedings. The next business was a prayer, as exciting as the Scriptural corssusentary, and in the midst of this the terrible accident occurred. From the best information that could be gathered it appears that the catastrophe arose from a cry of 0 Fire,"- raised by a concerted movement on the part of a body of London thieves. At the western door, at the northern entrance, and in the so.utkern entrance to the bnildiog the cry was simultaneously raised, and it unhappily produced its effect in each direction. From the western door, which is the principal entrance, the people rushed in a body. Many of them wore knocked down, trampled upon, and their arms and legs brolch. Those in the first gallery who were alarmed by the rumour rushed down the northern staircase, which gave way, the result of which was, that five women and one man were killed on the spot. Of the woman killed one Was i♦lrs. Grace Skipper, of 40, Dobson terrace, Kennington, another Mrs, Harriet Johnson (address unknown). To the other persons there was up to a late hour last night no clue whatever. When the alarm was raised in the galleries that the building was on fire and was falling, the people, who were intimidated, broke the windojcs and jumped out. Of these some hundreds brel;o their arms and legs, and the shrieking and crying in the darkness, which by this time prevailed, was certainly most heart-rending It is but the most ordinary justice to Mr. Superintendent Lund, and the police under his control, to state, that if it had not been for their great exertions, some hundreds of persons must have been killed or maimed When the rush took place they planted themselves in a body before the door, and while large bodies of people were lying upon the floor, and running the risk of being trampled to death, resisted as long as they could the progress of the im petuous crowd. Until 11 o'clock on Sunday night, dead and , - dying were conveyed to Guy's Hospital, to which institution, by the proper directions of the superintendent of police, they were conveyed. Mr, Spurgeon continued his discourse after the terrible catastrophe, remarking that people would rush from danger to save their bodies, while they oared little about tho salvation of their souls. Mr. Cat ter, the coroner in whose district this lamentable accident occurred, will no doubt institute a strict investigation into the eircustances. Viewed from the orchestra, the body of the hall presented a scene of dire confusion and agonised excitement—the people tossed and tore each other in terror. Fortunately, from the floor being encumbered by seats, a moment's obstruction was given to the rush. That moment saved the lives of many who would have been overwhelmed in the trennenduoas pell mell hastening the furious onset towards the doors. This one instant gave time for more tranquil observation. The preacher recovered himself, implored silence, assured the people of safety, and then, while the shrieks and screams still resounded, and terrible groans were beginning to be heard, even at that moment lie set up a hymn, which, at first loudly ehaunted from the orchestra, soon spread itself over the troubled congregation in the body of the hall, who now seeing the roof still above them, pa the galleries still crowde,d ' with listeners, anxious and terror-stricken, yet eagerly hanging upon the preacher's words, thus encouraged, joined in the hymn of praise and faith, and thus uttering that poise and faith, found safety in that confidence. Not so in the galleries. There, a rush was made to the circular staircase stn the right aide, facing the entrance. Down this a streem of itightened men, women, and children poured, rushing on in terror, and impelled from behind by crowds in still greater alarm. Turning upon the stairs of the second gallery, a slight curve is made by the balustrades, Here, unfortunately from the overwhelming pressure, the mahogany hand-rail broke, and the balustrades, thus loosened, gave way ono after the other for about three yards. Urged on, driven, pushed down by the surging crowd above—those below came on, as it were, with certain death before their eyes—and ere they could restrain themselves, fell over the side, down the well staircase, on the stone floor beneath. The first that tumbled over was a woll-dressed woman, who strucli upon her head, and died without a groan ; the second, another respectably-dressed female, wh o with a child clasped in h er fell sc r eami ng i n an agony, arms ; then came another woman—then tw o men, clutchir.g eaerly ht each other, at the stones, at air, as they sack into the abyss; others followed, topplieg over each other; while above, a fight,a fierce fight, was furi ous l y rag i ng for life , between those from above and those below ; the first still sti iv ' big to come down, the others struggling to stand still, or go t upwards. Meanwhile the crowd from the end of the hall below, were rushing round th e passage, forcing their way I outwards over the dead and dying, The groans and screams l w ere such as might be f anc i e d of Pandemoniuni appeared a policeman, then anot h er then came ap;use i t n t a b s ; rush—and then a moment, if not of silence and order, of better disposition and less foal fu I selfishness. Yet, above all, arose the hymn of p raise.

As at trampled h urr i e dl y up t h e grand wa lk , the noise 1 theymade gave o ccas i on to a new panic, which Mr. Spurgeon vainly attempted to t ranqu ili se b y another hymn.. An attempt was aend outside, then made to resume the sermon, and it will hardly be believed that at this period the earnest entreaty of several gentlemen could not prevent many well-dressed ladies, young and old, from dragging in their husbands and brothers " to hear the sermon." At last, on the remonstrance of the inspector in attendance, that " he was hindered in removing the dead by the crowding of the people," a gentleman took upon himself to explain the actual position of affairs to Mr. Spurgeon, who immediately dismissed his congregation." To set them in motion, to clear first the galleries and then the hall, to break up the groups loi. teeing in the gardens and about the carriage road, to stop ingress and secure egress, was the work of much labour and time, facilitated, however, as it here was by the arrival of a strong body of police. The next point was to get out the linv, Mr. Spurgeon to secure him as well from the too eager care of his own " follow ing," as from the possible, and by no means improbable, indignation of the excited mob, who might perhaps have regarded him as the cause of a calamity, which, fearful as were its consequences, they had already greatly exaggerated. The rev. gentleman was found stretched upon the ground in a state of great mental prostration, and finally, by the assistance of one of the firemen of the gardens, was conveyed through the cooking department to a private exit, where a cab having been procured, he departed in safety for his residence. The publicans in the vicinity of the Gardens reaped a rich harvest from the excitement consequent upon Mr. Spurgeon's appearance, and there can be no doubt that the light fingered gentry did not lose the opportunity profittint by the occasion. LATEST PARTICULARS. Mr. Superintendent Lund reports that he was present in the hall from the commencement of the service, until the fatal occurrence took place. He occupied a position on the platform very near to Mr. Spurgeon, and had an uninterrupted view of the whole body of the hail. He asserts that about the time stated above, he distinctly saw three persons in the body of the hall suddenly rise, and lifting their arms towards the roof, shout, " Fire I. fire 1 " He is convinced they were not swell-mobsmen, as was first supposed, as he states thieves never occupy so prominent a position as the persons he saw, generally stationing themselves near the doors, to rob people as they make their exit. He believed, and is supported in his opinion by many other persons, that the alarm was raised by some opponents of Mr. Spurgeon who had repaired to the hall for the purpose of disturbing- the proceedings. It is to be regretted the vagabonds in question are not in custody ; but it is said some slight clue to their identity is in possession of the police. We sincerely trust such is the case, and that the wretches will speedily be in the hands of justice. Mr. Lund related that as soon as he perceived the immense audience making a desperate rush to leave the building, he sent one of his men to Mr. Spurgeon, who was continuing his prayer, notwithstanding the great confusion, and prayed him to desist. With apparent reluctance he did so, Mr. Lund's message being that it would be impossible to clear the hall if he continued. The terrific scene, described above, followed ; but during which we have the authority of Mr. Lund for stating that he saw at least a dozen men and boys hurrying about with money boxes in their hands, which they shook fu.rioualy about, and endeavoured to procure contributions from, the cangregation, who were struggling fraaticallv fcm liberty. The exact number of dead is not knows, but that seven were killed is certain, tho bodies having bean identified. They are as follows ;-.... BODIES IN NEWINGTON WORRHQUSE.—SaTHUE4 Heard, aged 30, labourer, 8, Alle-street, Bermondsey, New -road ; Mrs. Barlow, married woman, 19, Bath-street, London road; Harciat Johnson—address unknown, but supposed to he in the Westminster-road ; Eliza Mead, aged 43, 7, Love-lane, Stockwell, married woman. The identity of the. fourth woman in the above workhouse has not been clearly established. A young man viewed the body this morning s , and states his belief that it is that of his sister, named Harriet Mathews, of Newington. There is some doubt, however, that this is the case, as the deoeased's clothing was marked with the initials " M. H.," exactly the reverse of those for Harriet Matthews. DEAD AT THEIR OWN RESIDENCE.—Grace Skipper, Doh. son-terrace, Kennington, servant. This young woman, it seems, was accompanied by some of her friends, by whom she was conveyed home last night. She was quite dead svhen taken from the hall. LIST eF INJURED PERSONS AT GUY'S HOSPITAL.—ThaI tlaß Peachy, 15, Grange Road, Bermondsey, broken thigh, anti other serious injuries ; James Ark wright, James-street, Long Acre, contused wounds all over the body ; George. Lane, Gas well Road, arm broken, and other injuries;; Margaret Weston, 21, Cumming -street, general bruises; Edward Whitnall, 3, John's Place, general bruises. Besides these persons at Guy's hospital, there is a little girl who has not yet been ownel. She is very beautifully dressed, and, wo regret to state, somewhat seriously injured. INJURED PERSONS CONVEYED TO THEIR OWN TIOXICS.--ft John and Mary Aldis, man and wile, Mansion House_ street, K. , nnington. Ellen Stanton, 5, Penton (`trove..

Ellen Goddard, 1, James-street, single woman. ribs broken. Sarah Bridges, 4, St. David -street. All the above are more or less seriously injured, and it is feared death will supervene in some instances. The above list, forms only a moiety of those known to be lying in various houses suffering from wounds received during the rush, but whose names and addresses have not up to this time been clearly ascertained. As before stated, the exact number of killed is not known. It is rumoured that four other persons besides those already identified had been killed, and have either been conveyed to their own residences, or were lying in the neighbourhood. Ir. It is said M.

LORD PALMERSTON AND PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—It is believed in the best informed political circles th,4 Viscount Palmerston is availing himself of the le ;sure, afforded by the recess to mature and perfect a sci4me representative reform. Tile Premier may not go so far, as Lord John Russell, who in his reform bill of 1852 pro posed to reduce the borough franchise from a rating of to £5, and to abolish the property qualification ; but Lord Palmerston's govcrumcnt will, it is hoped, introduce, early in the next session, a reform bill which will satisfy the just expectations of the country, and be supported by the united and energetic action of the Liberal party. If the bill should be thrown out, Lord Palmerston can then appeal to the country, and the political life of the nation, which has somewhat languished of late through the war, and other causes, will again bo aroused by the appeals which will then be generally made to the friends o 4 progress and the opponents of legislative :imprOvement and reform. lrinaisrliseeidia., SU,PENHON OF THE IVORXS AT T HH LOUVRE.--We believe we may now safely s t a ` e , th at t h e wor k s o f t h e Louvre are to be suspended.

In the note alluded to, the American Government expresses a great desire to know the exact amount levied by Hanover by these tolls daring the last ten years. And, as they are paid at ,the Hanoverian office, the consul of the United States has received orders from his government to ask officially from the Senate how far it would support public force against American captains who might reinse to pay the tolls.
