THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY zVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1864.

Police-constable Clark, 318 R, said be was on duty at 1
o'clock on the night in question, near the prosecutor's home,
to which, on hearing the call of " Police !" he went,
He was let in at the front door by Mr. Oliver,
".and on going out at the back be saw a hat
and coat lying under the pantry window, which
was opened. Oa looking down the garden he saw two men
get over the fence and run across an adjoining field. He
pursued and captured the prisoner, who was without hat,
coat, and boots. After proceeding about 20 yards, the pri-
soner said he would not go any further until witness ob-
tained his boots, and on asking him where his boots were,
he merely said " up there."
Sergeant Beat, 21 R, said he was on duty at the station
when the prisoner was brought in, and he was detained
whi!e witness and the constable went to examine the prose-
cutor's premises. Near the larder window witness found a
hat and coat, in the pockets of which were four spoons,
a pair of sugar tongs, three tope of mots, a card case, a
• 'het book, and a purse containing money. A pair of
is were also found in the garden. Witness put the hat,
boots, and coat on the prisoner, and they all fitted him.
Toe prisoner asked the sergeant if he did not think the
coat was too large far him, but he replied that it fitted him
very well indeed.
Upset', a cook in the service of the prose-
cutor, proved securing the house at 11 o'clock. The
pocket-bank, purse, and mercy produced were her property,
and had been taken from a drawer in the kitchen.
Mr. Maude committed the prisoner for trial at the next
Old Bailey sessions.

COLLISION AT THE SLOUGH JUNCTION OP
THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY: - (THIS
DAY.)

This morning, about half-put 1 o'clock, a colli-
sion of a serious nature took place at the Slough Junction.
It seems that previous to the time mentioned a narrow gunge
goods train bad been shunted on to the off rails on the centre
of the line about midway between the up and down station.
Through some, at present, unaccountable mistake, the
points leading from the up main line to where the goods train
was standing wee, closed, so that when the up parcels train
which left Bristol at 9.25 last night, and should have run
clean through the station (it was travelling at the rate of
between 30 and 40 miles an hour), reached the points in
question, the broad gunge engine of the parcel
train, instead of entering on the main up line,
turned on toy the points through which the goads
train had paused, and after missing two or three car-
riages struck with fearful violence several of the trucks
and vans crashing into them with a drealful noise, sad
breaking several of them up. In the meantime the broad
gauge parcels train continued its course, although several of
the carriages composing it had sustained great damage—a
composite and second class ctirisge having Lad their aides
nearly smashed in, and the large break van being crashed in
like a bonnet box, and ultimately got off the rails into the
six foot,when it stopped, the works on its aide where it had
dragged against the tracks sod vans of the goods train,
being partially swept away, and the locomotive disablcd,
while several of the carriages, vans, and trucks of both
trains, were overthrown and the debris piled up, completely
blocking both up end down lines. Richard Cowell, the
driver of "The Lethe," the parcels train engine, and the
stoker escaped, as did the guard of the goods, whose
van was passed by the parcels train engine before it struck
hie train.

FURTHER CASUALTIES.
A few days ago we reported the flooding of a cord-
pit at Leeswood, war Mold, Flintabire, and the consequent
drowning of eight men from the flooding of water from
the old workings. The efforts to get at the place when
the bodies of the unfortunate men are supposed to have
been continued up to yesterday with unabated energy,
but without success. On Monday, one of the horses
in the pit at the time of the flood wan found alive in the
working. The poor animal was standing with only the
upper part of his neck out of the water, and in this position
we. fed with gruel by a miner, and was afterwards brought
to the surface. On Tuesday, two other horses were found
drowned. The pumping of the water is continued night
and day, and every exertion used to get at the bodies. At
the time of the flood a man named Lewis Lloyd was seen
by those who escaped to run before the rushing water
into an old driving, out of immediate danger, but beyond
hope of escape. On Tuesday night a noise of some one
knocking was heard in the pit, and the men believed this
noise to proceed from Lloyd. Another accident, however,
frustrated the endeavours of the men to get at the place
from which the knocking proceeded. This was caused by
the falling in of a portion of the roof. The portion which
fell crushed one man to death instantly, and injured °then.

LIFEBOAT SERYIcOI.—FILET, NEAR YORK, WED-
IeRsDAY NICHT.—At 4 o'clock this morning (reports Mr. R. '
White), four of the fishing coblen of this place went out to
fish. At 7 a.m. it came on a strong vile from the
E.S.E., with a heavy surf on the beach, and as
there wee great doubt of the cobles reaching the
shore safely, the Filey lifeboat belonging to the '
National Institution wee at otos launched and accom-
panied the cobles until they all got safely to the shore. On
such ciodurions the presence of the lifeboat gives toe fisher-
men fresh courage, and they accordingly work their craft
with reamed energy. Thus the lifeboat often contributes
to the saving of the lives of • large number of persons as
well as the preservation of property of • considerable
amonat to these poor men.
Trig " MONDE" REPROVED.—Tire Mood.' states
that, foe having published the facts relative to the removal
of the interdiction placed ea Mgr. de Seger, it has received
(doubtless from the archbishop's palace) the following
" communicated" note :—" It is not footrest that the Arch-
bishop of Paris, changing his decisions, had revoked the
measure commutes Mgr. de Sigur ; what is true is that '
Mgr. de Siitur spontaneonsly fulfilled the conditions which
alone wad put as end to it. U the feet wee calculated, as
has been mid, to cause 11041•11i114811 to sigholies, the reason is
that they have hastily formed opinions without full know-
ledge of circumstances • for the archbishop is the natural
judge of what the goorigoveroment of his diocese requires
The coffee crop of Costa Rica is estimated at

ket for bar silver was again flat, owing to the result
of the tendon yesterday for the government bills
on India.
