tion which is being provided for the grand review in Hyde-
park by her Majesty on Friday is of the most extensive
character, and is tepidly approaching completion. Large
numbers of workmen have been employed in the erection
of the galleries since the latter part of last week, and their
work being now completed, a staff of upholsterers has
been set to work to finish them, and use such decorations
u will be appropriate to the occasion. The galleries, of
which there are about ten, those provided for the general
public being the largest, stretch from near the Marble-
arch to a length of 1,780 feet, and accommodation is
provided iu them for about 1:1,000 persons, including the
members of both branches of the legislature. The centre
gallery, which is intended for the use of her Majesty, the
royal family, and such members of the court as may be
present, will be splendidly fitted up. All the +eats are

peeved for the members of the House of Lords, and that

THE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION NEAR WARRING-
YON.—AB inquest was held at Warrington yestenlay morn-
lag before Mr. Driffield, coroner, upon the bodies of Eliza-
beth Partridge and Thomas Jones, who died from injuries
received at the accident at Walton Junction on Saturday,
the former after removal to theXatten Arms Hotel, and
the Latter at the Convalescent Hospital. Mr. Biunroft,
one of the directors of the London and North Western
Railway Company, wee present• together with Mr. George
Findlay, general manager. The company were profes-
sionally represented by Mr. Roberts, from the office of
Mr. Blenkluisop, London. On the jury being sworn, Mr.
Roberts, addressing the coroner, said he was instructed
by the London and North Western Railway Company to
say that they were desirous of affording every facility to
the progress of the inquiry, by producing any of their ser-
vants who might be required as witnesses. They were also
anxious to accommodate, in the fullest possible manner,
the friends of the deceased in the matter of the removal
and burial of the dead bodies. It is only fair to
add that these intentions have hitherto been very
liberally carried out. Mr. Sylvanus Reynolds, of Latch-
ford, near Warrington, then identified the body of his
aunt, Elizabeth Partridge. She was the wife of Mr.
Sylvania Partridge. of Oakford-honse, near Exeter. She
was sixty years of age. Mr. John Jones, 3, Commercial-
street, Shoreditch, London, identified the body of his
brother, Thomas Jones. He was agent at Wolverhamp-
ton to the Victoria Legal Friendly Society, and was re-
turning home from Liverpool when he met with the acci-
dent that caused his death. Mr. Spinka, surgeon, of
Warrington, having given evidence as to the nature of the
injuries from which the deceased died, the inquest was ad-
journed until Tuesday next. In the course of a conversa-
tion among the jurymen as to the necessity of requiring
the presence of a Board of Trade officer at the inquest, Mr.
Bancroft rose and maid he assured them that the directors
of the London and North Western Railway Company
courted the fullest inquiry into the cause of the accident.
He himself was there to express on the part of the board
their deep regret at the occurrence of the accident, and
their sympathy with the sufferers.
THE BUSINESS AT THE THAMES POLICE COURT.
—At S o'clock yesterday evening after a very busy day at
the Thames Police-court, a solicitor's clerk wished the
magistrate to take soother ease. a peace summons, which
he said would not hurt many minutes. Mr. Paget said he
was exhausted, and there had been a constant strain on
hie attention for 10 hours. The clerks had executed an
enormous amount of work and they could do no more. If
it was attempted to hear any other cases the business
could not he performed satisfactorily. The clerks had
done more than enough for one day. At every police
court in the metropolis, except the Thames, all the
business terminated, at 5 o'clock, yet it was 6 o'clock the
previous evening before the last case was Timm], and even
then the clerks had not completed their labours. lie
thought the Thames Police Court was over-worked.
COLLISION IN THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR. —A
collision took place in the Straits neer Cabrita Point yes-
terday afternoon between the steamer Crimean, belonging
to the Mediterranean fleet of Memars. Bibby and Sons. of
Liverpool, and the Hercules, of this port. The Crimean
had just left the bay on her way to Liverpool, and the
Hercules was steaming to Gibraltar from Tangier. The
Crimean, an iron steamer, had one of her plates stove and
some rivets started, and put back to this port to effect
repairs before continuing her voyage. The Hercules, we
understand, has sustained damage in her port paddle-box
and paddle-wheel The weather was fine and clear, and it
seems difficult, under the circumstances, to account for two
steamers in broad daylight, and in the open sea, running
against each other. The facts will probably form the sub-
ject of legal investigation. —Gibraltar Chroniefe, June 24.
