The inquest ova the sufferers by the Great Northern Reel,
dent was opened on Wednesday. John Ward, foreman
of the platelayers, attributed the accident to the breaking
of a rail. He said, "I was standing about a yard and
a half from where the rail brake. I saw the rail break,
and it was caused by the leading or driving wheel of
.the engine. I eaw the ends of tie rail work about."
The inquest was adjourned for a week.
THE " CHAMPION."—The following certificate as to
the styes of Sayers's arm is from the surgeons of St.
Thomas's Hospital :--" Having examined Mr. Thomas
Sayers this day, we are of opinion, from the contused
state of the muscles, tendons, and inner bone of the tight
fore arm, that he will be' unable to use that arm for at
least a, couple of months, or probably more. (Signed),
S. Jones, F.R.C.S., M. 8., E. Clapton, M.D., M.8.C.P.,
ritt.s.—Sr. Thomas's Hospital, April 21, 1860."
On Friday night Tom and Mean met at' Owen Swift's.
Whilst at the latter place a r,eirtleman came in, and
veithowt speaking a word or taking anything to drink,
.put itito Tom's hand a new five-pound Dank of 'England
note, an 4 then walked out of the house. On the same
evening Lord Stamford requested Tom, when leaving
Epsom, to pay hint a visit, as Lady Stamford wished
particularly to see hike. as she had a handsome present
to make him.. The House. of Commons, on Friday,
collected nearly £2OO for him, all' grades of politicians
subscribing. Mr. Bennett and Air. Gideon intend
giving him £5O each; and a committee of gentlemen,
with two noblemen at their head, will be appointed to
invest the money for him, so that 'he can receive it in
weekly sums. At Geo. Bryer's, Black Horse, Oxenden-
street, on Saturday night, two gentlemen came into the
bar, and one gave George twenty, and the other ten
pounds for the brave Tom Sayers, as a reward for his
pluck and gallantry.—Sporting 10:fe.
FRENciv Mitzfuray.—The Empress was attired
*holly in black, not in mourning though, for the sacri-
fice to the style of the day was evident in the little
eolden stars which encircled the front of her bonnet,
and peeped out from amongst the folds of net Which
encircled the brim. It was imagined by many that
this sombre attire was meant as a homage to the seasrat
of Lent, by calculation, it was ascertained that the
space of time allotted for the obligatory mourning for
the Grand Duchess Stephanie had elapsed some little
while. The few generalities of fashion which struck
us we willingly give. Flounces to the waist, whether
broad or narrow, are wholly exploded; . they now
reach only to just below the knee, and are t nished
with a ruche. Silks of the most varied patterns ; for
instance, one of her Majesty's most brilliant ladies of
honour wore a white Bros des Indies, with enormous
hunches of roses embroidered in black floss silk thrown
all over the upper part of the skirt, while the border
was elaborately embroidered in a running pattern to the'
bight of nearly half a yard The flieuncelliiis worked
was looped at the Side with an enormous bow of 'black
velvet,' diselosing one of the benches of roses; the same
as on the top skirt, and emhroidered ploe. This dress,
however eccentric it may appear in the desCription,
appeared perfectly quiet and respectable amongst the
number of gaudy criardcostumes we could mention. One
of these wale worn by Madame de C--, the present glass
of fashion; a dress of moire espapole, made perfectly '
plain in front, 'and cut tight .one.;
.en even.:
tail. The pattern a check of tremendous' proportions,
the bars of light and dark green; in each square agigantic
rose, with buds, thorns,•and leaves, all in their natural
colours; 4la Pompadour. Large petnipons of silk, cam_
posed of the different shades of pink observed in the
rose, 'and looking, for all the world, like the paper lcche
flints placed in candlesticks, were placed down the front
of the dress, increasing in size from the chin to the feet.
The bonnet was of violate de panne, coloured crape,
with no other ornament than a broad ribbon of the same
colour embroidered in gold bees. The brides very long
and wide, reaching to the waist, and edged with-fine and
-brilliant gold fringe.—Court Journal.
