PARIS, TraSDAT EVININO.
The Prefect of Police has placarded in the streets
to-day an important notice respecting foreigners.
Every foreigner intending to reside or to exercise
any calling in Paris, is within three days of his ar-
rival to present himself personally to the authorities
to ask fur a permission to remain. A delay of 8 days
is allowed to those foreigners who are already hero.
Any neglect of this order will be followed by expul-
sion from the French territory. The order is not
applicable to foreigners travelling for bushiest or
Immure, and not intending to reside, who may be
furnished with passports from their governments,
regularly riatcd.
Vice Admiral do la Susse is appointed to the com-
mand of the squadron of evolutions, in the room of
Vice Admiral Parseval Desehensa, who is nominated
a member of the Admiralty Council, and President of
the Council of Marine Works.

The Assemble,. Nationale insists, with amusing
pertinacity, that fusion, so far from being dead and
buried, is more lively and vigorous than ever. It
fails to perceive that its own articles contribute every
day to sink fusion into a lower deep of impossibility,
for it has now become as purely legitimist as the
Gazette de Frenee itself. It admits nothing else but
traditional and hereditary monarchy, in the wake
of which not only the Orlean princes, but the na.
tional sovereignty of France may be permitted to
follow if they please. M. ()ingot thus preaching
divine right disguised under tho word fusion, is not
one of the least strange consequences of the revolu-
tion of February. To-day the Assemblage affects to
repudiate indignantly the imputation caoadaed in a
recent letter from Paris to the Times, that is eases-'
quence of the refusal at Claremont to Mean. the
Joinville candidature, the fusionist journal would
probably espouse the cause of Louis Napoleon. Its
argument, however turns chiefly upon a quibble upon
the word" cause," and it very plainly looks forward
to the possibility of becoming Bonapartist in certain
icontingencies, although for the present it sees fit to
compare Henry V. to a man-of-war, and. Louis Na-
poleon to a little skiff.
It is stated in the Ocean of Brest, that the most
positive instructions have been sent by the govern-
ment to the commandant of the French squadron at
the Antilles to assist the Cuban government in re-
pelling the egressions of the American pirates.
I The Valmy line-of-battle ship, one of the largest
Iships in the French navy, his been ordered to be
laid up in ordinary at Toulon, the repairs which she
recently underwent at Brest to improve her sailing
qiutlities having turned out perfectly unavailing.

THE GOLD IN NEW SOUTH

WALES.

(raoM OUR OW!

SOUTHAMPTON, WIRDSZSDAT MORNING.
Advice* have been received from Sydney up to
May 21), and from Bathurst up to May 24, by the
Teviot. They were obtained from the chip Thomas
Arbuthnot, which touched at Pernambuco on her
why from Sydney to England. Some of the crew of
her Majesty's steamer Acheron were sent home
in her to work her quickly in order to
convey to the English government the im-
portant intelligence that a gold mine had been
discovered at Bathurst. The utmost confusion and
excitement prevailed at Bathurst, and hundreds of
persons were going to the diggings. A thousand
pounds worth of gold had arrived in Sydney from
the gold mines within the last two or three days.
Provisions at the diggings had risen to an enormous
price. Great dissatisfaction prevailed amongst the
miners on account of government having overlooked
the claims of Mr. Ilargmves. The miners at present
at work at the diggings arc 1,500 in number. Many
are getting from 201. to 401. worth a week. In dig-
ging for the gold, rubies have been discovered in
the Manning ltiver.
The following extracts from the Empire, Sydney
paper, of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of May last, with
respect to the discovery, arc of interest:

The sum of the information contained in the letters from
Bathurst is, that there is gold, but great uncertainty and
difficulty in getting it. 'The following is an extract of a
letter from an extensire landholder in the Bathurst dis-
triet -

It is evident, from the lameness of this acantat, that the
Spaniards were not triumphant.

fort on the coast :

471frithiellent Seem General D. Jose Marie de Bus*,
kw* Illeineral Commander of the navy in that district, be
roday, at half-past one o'clock, a.m., the following
sonteennication to the Governor General :
" Your Excellency—l started yesterday froM Bahia-
Honda, in the steamer Habanero, with a view to recon-
noitre the coast of Playas, and Morino, in order to remove
all the means by which the pirates could possibly escape;
or, in case of more expeditions to these points, to remove
the means of disembarkation. At 7 o'clock in the morning,
I communicated with the inhabitants of Morillo, and was
informed by the propticton that, at ten o'clock on the pre-
ceding night, one pert of them embarked in four boats,
which were OR the shore, in order to go to New Orleans, by
taking the first vessel they could find. Having calculated the
hour of their sailing, and the distance probably made in ten
hours, and supposing they had taken the direction of New
Orleans, which was the cause of their having disappeared
from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, I proceeded in
that direction eighteen miles, with full steam; but, after
having accomplished that distance, I could not discover any
of those I pursued. Believing that the road they had fol-
lowed was within the rocks, I directed my steamer to that
point and made the greatest exertions to encounter the
fugitive pirates. At ten o'clock in the morning I found
myself in the proximity of the passage, and detected the
four boats navigating along the coast, but so near to it that
I was afraid of my inability to seize them. In order to take
them, I ordered the steam to be pressed as much as visible;
and I think myself correct in affirming to your Excellency
that the steamer was running thirteen miles. This was not
enough to overtake them. I could only seize one. Two
others were upon the rocks of the island, and the fourth
upon the rocks of Ca yo Levies.. When I seized the,
men of the first. boat, I armed the boats of the ship
in order to pursue the second and third, which
were on the rocks ' • but the officers of the army
who were in the boats, as well as the troops and
sailors, the commander of the boat, D. Ignacio de Arel-
hum, and the captain of the steamer Cantina., D. Francisco
Hatolt—who, stimulated by his patriotism, has taken a part
in all the service* tendered by this boat—threw themselves
in the water to pursue the pirates, of whom two only
escaped. Having left their arms, we did not pursue them,
in order to occupy ourselves with the boat in Cayo Levisa,
for it was one of the largest and contained more men. In
short, I armed the boats, and directed them to stop the
debarkation of the men who were looking for a landing,
and to pursue these fugitive pirates. These, twenty-four in
number, were hidden within a small creek, having the boat
drawn up among the rocks, and here the pirates were seized.
The number of the prisoners were fifty well armed men,
headed by a chief and five officers.
"This important result proves that the faction is dispirited,
and that the greater number have sought their safety by
flight, astonished at the bravery of our soldiers, and COII.
vinced that theft doctrines cannot find an echo in the coun-
try. At half-past 2 o'clock in the evening I returned to
Morino, as the inhabitants who informed me of the depar-
ture of the pirates told me also that some parties of the
fugitives were wandering in the neighbourhood, and that
the troops of her Majesty were at a small distance from
this place. I sent to the commander, by a faithful peasant,
this communication, with the names of the prisoners, whom

" We arc all in the greatest excitement here, some from
joy, some from despair, anticipating famine, discus and
death. lam glad to hear the military are coming up ; we
shall sadly want them. Went to the diggins, and in three
hours got one ounce of gold in one bright lump. Carriage is
so high I are afraid we shall not be able to get up supplies."
Another letter received by a Sydney merchant states that
rock salt has been discovered in the search for gold. A re-
gular company is at work under the auspices of a member of
council, whose daily operations average in their result a
full ounce per man.
The Masrland Mercury states that gold has been dis-
covered in the tract of country, situate between Summerbill
on the south, and Dubbo on the north, and known as the
Wellington district. The more authentic accounts warrant
us in believing that one large piece of nine ounces, and two
or t►rec small pieces of several ounces weight, and some
pounds of grain, and dust have already been found by the
partite engaged in digging there.
Three apprentices who ran away from Bathurst returned
ins few days with 17 ounces of gold, which sold for 51f.
Considerable quantities of gold and gold dust were wait-
ing at Bathurst when the Thomas Arbuthnot left Sydney,
until an escort should convoy it to the latter place.
The shove•mentioned ship has a piece of gold on board
weighing 4 Otis. ; it is from Bathurst, and is intended to be
placed in the Great Exhibition.

TILE CATASTROPHE ON THE BUCKINCiI-

HAMSRIRE RAILWAY.

BICESTER, TUESDAY.
The proceedings of the inquest had scarcely closed
yesterday, when Captain loam, R.E., one of the govern-
ment inspectors of railways, arrived here, for the purpose
el making an oMcial investigation into the circumstances
Mending the accident. He immediately commenced his
inspection, which was accompanied by experiments with
the eae and tender, and prolonged until dusk.
Thedica of Itit of the sufferers were removed from
Biomesr last evening. The remains of Elizabeth Eadey
are still lying at the King's Head. The sufferers confined
here are, it is hoped, going on wall, and two or three have
already proceeded to their homes.
ADJOURNED INQUEST. _ _

Tho,Coroner's inquiry was resumed ibis morning, at 10
o'clock.

'HE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The jury having answered to their names, accompanied
the Coroner to the line, there to meet Mr. M'Connell, who
had promised that at 10 o'clock this morning he would
have the engine to which the accident had occurred upon
the railway, in order that the jury might see its action over
the points.
It was mentioned yesterday that the " joint chair" near
the shoulder of the points leading front the main line into
the siding had been broken asunder longitudinally, as if by
lateral force. Such a fracture of a joint chair is precisely
the one which would in all probability occur if a locomotive
engine, in passing through or over points, should take one
line, and the tender and carriages another. To ascertain
whether this would explain the accident, the engine to
which it occurred was to-day taken to the points, which
were thrown open to allow the leading and centre wheels to
get upon the main or straight line. When the leading
wheel of the engine had been brought up to the shoulder of
the point, the handle was let loose, and they were allowed
to spring back as far as the leading wheel would
admit of. The engine was now propelled very gradu-
ally over the points, and it was found that the
trailing wheels did really take the siding while the leading
wheels were upon the main line, and it was at once seen
that had the engine been taken a few yards further she
must have gone off the rails. Another suggestion was, that
the points had been kept open until the engine had passed,
and that they were let louse at the moment the tender came
up to them. An engine and tender of the same class as
those employed to work the Oxford down excursion train
on Saturday were taken to the points, which were opened
to allow the engine to pass on to the main line. The
handle of the points was then let go, and the consequence
was that the tender, when drawn forward, went upou the
aiding, and had the engine been allowed to proceed the
tender must have been immediately forced off the rails.
On the return of the jury to the King's Head, the exa-
mination of witnesses was proceeded with.
A gentleman, who gave his name as Wagstaff, appeared
to-day to watch the case for the London and North
Wertern Company. Captain bill'an was present.
Anne Bowerman was on the down platform at the Bicester
station on Saturday evening shortly before seven o'clock. I
had inquired whether the excursion train would stop at
Bicester. I first asked Henry Harris, the policeman, and
afterwards of the swims master. They both told me,
Yes " The trains front Loudon always stop in the "sid-
ing" at Bicester. I waited until I saw the train approach.
I did not hear any whistle. I heard the station-master tell
Harris to hoist his red flog, and call to another man to put
on the signal to stop. That was after I saw the train ap-
proaching. I saw Harris hold up his red flag. I did not
see any man further up the line towards London with a
flag. I then saw the accident. I can't describe it at all. I
was too frightened to observe anything.
It being now proposed to examine the company's ser-
vants, Sir Harry Verney and the other gentlemen of the
line were requested to retire, and did so, with the excep-
tion of Mr. M'Connell, who also withdrew after some con-
versation. . . . . .

The return of fine weather, the completion of the
harvest, and the consequent increase of leisure .among the
people, are showing their results in the daily increasing
numbers of visitors (upwards of 58,000 yesterday), who now
flock to the Crystal Palace, indicating that before, its close
a higher return will probably be reached than has yet
appeared at the foot of the daily report. Yesterday
morning the thoroughfares leading thereto presented
all the crowd, noise, and confusion that distinguished
the height of the Midsummer season. The pupils
of the Bristol Deaf and Dumb Institution arrived
under the superintendence of their teachers, some
of whom were deaf and dumb also, and examined the vs-
ried contents of the palace with much interest and atten-
tion. The strong sympathy of these interesting children
with the beautiful was manifested by the articles they se-
lected for admiration, and the celerity with which they
conversed with their teachers by signs was quite wonder-
ful. They were all marshalled at four o'clock by a mute
standard-bearer, and marched away to the railway station
iu a most regular and orderly manner. Another party con-
sisted of about 30 of the aged inmates of the Richmond
workhouse, with the toaster at their head, and were the I
objects of much curiosity, in consequence of their decent
appearance and the advanced age of some of them.
One patriarch had reached the comfortable age of 101,
and he marched about attended by two squires of the body,
and minutely inspected every object of attraction. lie was
pleased to intimate that the Exhibition had nut, on the
whole, disappointed him, and received graciously the con-
tributions which many of the visitors premed on him.
'rho last, and we believe the most skilled detachment of
the Sardinian artisans, were also present, and were con-
ducted round the machinery department by . Messrs.
Newman and Biddle. '1 heir pertinent inquiries
sheered a high amount of intelligence, and their manners
were much more polished than is generally found to be
the case amongst men of the same class in this country.
A very ingenious machine for folding newspapers was
one of the inventions set iu motion fur their inspection.
It is patented by Messrs. Birchall, of Preston, and is
somewhat similar in its action to the Edinburgh ma-
chine which we noticed some time since. It will fold 30
papers in a minute, and would no doubt be of considerable
use if the system of aborinenteng were more general among
London newspapers. It works with great precision and
celerity, and the beautiful contrivances by which the impulse
of the steam is made to produce the various intricate evolu-
tions incident to the process of folding, reader it an object
well worthy ;of inspection. It may be attached to and fed
from an ordinary steam-printing machine, and acting in
that way would greatly exceed in despatch the present mode
of drawing and folding by manual labour. In the foreign
nave there were many anxious inquirers for Mr. Hobbs, but
that gentleman was absent, busily preparing his lock for
trial, an Englishman having at last been found hardy
enough to accept his challenge. The bold individual is
named Wm. Garbutt, a working smith, recently in the em-
ployment of Messrs. Fox and Henderson, and who has been
much engaged in keeping the metal check tables in order.
I lle is to have 30 days uninterrupted trial, and Mr. Hobbs
has offered him his own tools to work with. We may here
observe, that one of the most pleasing features in this interest.
I nig mechanical struggle is that all parties acknowledge to re-
eave the most perfect fair play from their opponents. Kr.
Hobbs has been loud in his acknowledgments of the eau-
dour of the Loudon press and public, and now William
Garbutt declares that Mr. Hobbs could not possibly be
oat:done in chivalric generosity. " May the best man
etre." seems to be the only sentiment in fashion amongst
the belligerents. The Swedish department matinees to
oaks tardy revelations, but the goods are as yet hardly
La a state to admit of fair and sufficient examination.
The great woe is fairly installed, and forms a very
striking allot in the nave. It is said to be the largest
article in porphyry that has been produced for some years,
and is deo tonuirkable for grace of form and beauty of
workmanship. There are several other articles of a more
Wisely and nodal kind, which we shill take another
[opportunity Of noticing in detail.
As the period for closing the Exhibition mere nearly

the Ogre named as the probable amount, and the last sag-
Citi4x4 supported by a high authority too, is that it should
devoted to die establishment of a central college of aria
, and manufactures, with affiliated schools in the great mar
factoring towns. It is urged that the superiority which we
have long enjoyed in the abundance of raw material
and fuel for the purposes of manufacturing industry is
rapidly disappearing before the increased means of toccata-
tion and transit, and that soon the greater skill and Weld-
genes of continental workmen, fostered as they are by this
state, will leave us behind if means be not takes to
put us on a heel with our competitors in these pardoning,. '
This view of the question, and the school project, is woody
espoused by the great towns. Sheffield and Biraingbart
have already " pronounced," end memorials are la nannent
signature at Hull, Manchester, and various ottrir giaort
Without giving any opinion on the plan, in its peassetwein
state, we think it only fair to lay it before the pal* aims
with its various rival projects, m order that when the time
for final decision arrives, the commissioners may have fall
elements for a wise and patriotic decision. The police num-
bers, yesterday, were 56,015.

Larneraud—l am an engine driver, and have been in the
service of the London and North Western Railway six
years, sod have driven engines on the Buckinghamshire
branchl only since the opening of that line in Oetober last.
I was driving the excursion train from Bletchley to Oxford
on Saturday evening. When we started from Bletchley
our train consisted of 12 or 14 carriages, including two vans
and a horse box. I received no instructions as to stoppages
between Bletchley and Oxford. I got uo instructions as to
the excursion train from the station master at Bletchley.
lam not sure that I saw him. I did not know that I
should have to bring the excursion train down to Oxford
until 1 gal to Bletchley. The ordinary train for me to
have brought back would have been the 7.20 p.m. from
Bletchley. The excursion train reached Bletchley about
twenty-one or twenty-two minutes past six. Afar
my arrival at Bletchley, I received instructions from
Mr. bleFedzen the foreman of the locomotive department,
that I should have to take the excursion train to Oxford.
lie did not tell me that I should have to stop at any station
between Bletchley and Oxford. With ordinary trains we
always know where to stop; but with excursion trains we
only stop where we want to take water, unless we receive
special orders from some one. The guard is the party to
whom 1 look for my instructions on this point. Benjamin
Hoed was one of the guards of the excursion train on Satur-
day night. There was a second guard whose MIMI, I don't
kuow. 1 received no directions dem either of these guards
to stop between Bletchley and Oxford. Rood, the guard,
asked me before I started whether I was going to run
through to Oxford? 1 told hint no, and that 1 should stop
at Winslow to take water. 1 did stop at Winslow tor about
three minutes. The distance from Winslow to Biceater is
about 123 miles. I started in an ordinary manner
from Winslow. The rate of speed afterwards varied
according to the gradients of the line, which ore:a
parts rather heavy. The maximum speed between Wins-
low and Bicester was not, I think, more than 35 miles an
hour. There is a curve for a very considerable distance
before you come into the Bicuster station. You cannot see
the station until you come round the curve—that is about a
quarter of a utile from the station. There is an auxiliary
signal plated ou the curve. I noticed that signal on Satur-
day evening. I could see it more than one hundred yards
distant. It is an upright post with arms, and by our rules,
if a driver is desired to sleeken speed, the semaphore arm
on the left hand side should be raised to au angle of 45
degrees. (The witness here produced a copy of the printed
rules, with which all drivers are provided, and called the
I aldermen of the coroner to the rule in question.)
Oa Saturday evening the signal was raised to au angle of
45 degrees, and I slackened speed iu consequence. When I
first saw o: signal I was going at about 25 miles an hour.
There is no other signal post before you get to Bicester.
There is one beyond tiie statieu' towards Oxford. A police-
Man is stationed at the points before you run into the sta-
tion. A man named Wilmot was at the points. When I
was very near hint I saw him wind his flag, to give me a
signal. lie bad no flag unrolled when 1 first saw him.
He was not then more than 20 yards from me. Atter un-
rolling it, I saw him wave it. The red flag is to signal us
to stop. At this time I was endeavouring to stop by re-
versing the engine. I had not reversed it when 1 passed
hint. My stoker was watching like myself, and expecting
to run through the station.
A Juror—ln the absence of any signal to the contrary,
should you have run through Bicester to Oxford?
Witness—Ye,, sir. As I passed the policeman I saw him
take hold of the points handle. Had he not touched the
points the rails in their natural way would have curried the
train into the aiding. In order to go straight through it is
necessary that the points should be moved and held fast un-
til the train was passed. My engine went upon the straight
line. After 1 had crossed the points I felt a sud-
den jerk on the foot plate where I was standing. I
had not reversed the engine at that time. I had my hand
upon the reversing lever, but was not able to use it in conse-
quence of the jerk. Atter I felt the jerk I looked back and
distinctly saw my tender too far to the left, and 1 then
hoard the grinding of the wheels against the rails. The
next moment the tender broke away altogether and jumped
about the line. My engine jumped at the same time and
went across the turnpike road. After the jerk I felt a mo-
tion as if I was in a boat upon a wave. 1 belt the engine
come in contact with the gate-post of the road gate. When
I got offsthe engine I ran up the line towards the broke&
carriages. I saw the guard's break vouch shattered and the
tender with four wheels off the line and two on the line.
the latter was lying nearly opposite where the engine was.
I think there were about live or six carriages left on the
rails. The guard's break was lying upon its side between
the aiding and the straight line. The carriages which were
overthrown were lying upon the left of the siding. I then
assisted in opening the doors of the carriages to let the pas-

...gen out-
Coroner—Did you know that you had a eon in the train?
Wituess (much affected)—Yes. I row him upon the plat-
form at Bletehley. lie had come up from Wolverton, and was
going to Orford by the 7.20 p.m. train. As I drove the ex-
cursion train he preferred to come by that, and he got into
one of the second-clan carriages before the train started. I
opened the doors of as many carriages as I could, and got
others to assist. When the steam had blown off the engine
I went back to that. I then found that a rail had become
entangled in the near driving wheel, and twisted nearly
double. I then took means to extinguish the tire. After
that I went hack to the carriages to assist. 1 thought of
my son, and of course I lookel for him. I got slime horses,
and drew back the tender a short iii.nuice, bat we foetid we
could do but little. I remained on the spot until the body
of my boy was found. When I got to Skeeter it was light
enough to see one hundred yards. It was about 7.
Coroner—Can you, being an engine-driver, form any
opinion as to what caused the deviation of the train ?
Winn:ma—My firm belief is, that at the time I mune to the
points they were open, and that. the engine passid on to the
straight line, and immediately afterwards, from some cause
which I cannot explain, the points became clused, which
' threw the carriages off the line. By so doing, at the speed
et which wu were coming, it would naturally draw the car-
riages off the siding towards the straight line. In coming
off the siding the axle buses would break by the wheels
coming in contact with the sleepers. That would put the
wheels out of order and cause the carriages to break, and by
one stopping, the others coining up behind would crush
upon it, and they would all ho overturned together. The
first intimation I had to stop at Bicester wail seeing the
man at the points unrol his mil flag.
Coroner—Did you notice any light at the Bie.iler station
on Saturday night ?
Witness—Yes, sir. I observed a white light on the
signal post beyond the station. That would indicate the
line being clear. I met Wilmot on the line shortly after-
wards, and I said to him " how is this ?" Ile moved hie
' hands up, and replied " I don't know."
henry Harris was next called and examined. lie said—
' lam a policeman on the Buckinghamshire hallway, and .
am the gatekeeper at the level crossiu4 of the Aylesbury
! turnpike road, which crosses the railway close to the
, station.maiter's house at Bioester. My duty there is to
open and shut the gates for infringes and cattle crossing
the line. I hays chayg. of two signal fiav: ono
