AND LOSS 07 LIPS.

On Monday last, the new suspension bridge at
Caerhowell, which spans the rivrr Severn, upon the rood
leading from Garthmill to Montgomery, and about four at
five miles from the latter town, suddenly fell, and in its fall
precipitated into the river two teams of four horses each, and
the waggoners, one of whom unfortunately lost his life.
Oa Monday morning two teams of four horses each, draw-
leg limey belonging to Mr. Groves of Dudslon and Mr. E.
Jones of Crsakerell, were" seeing over the bridge, the
berms about a dozen s in advisee of the latter, and
whet the first was near t centre of the way the structure
fell et both ends, precipitating horses, waggons, and Mr.
Groves' waggoner into the river. The boy driving Mr.
Jones's team, with admirable presence of mind, wh,ct be
saw the crash, leaped the left hand parapet and escaped
unhurt, . .

" ra midden°e wee procured, and the horses got out
alive and lloi 11k11011 hurt ; but the roan, named Gush, was
taken up gala, dead.
An inquest was opened before Dr. Slyman, coroner for
Mestgoroeryshire, when Mr. Wilding, surgeon, Mont-
gomery, said that be had been in the habit of parsing over
the suspension bridge, which was a light-looking structure,
a good deal, and for the last month, from the jingling of the
chains, he had a presentiment that it was not quite safe. On
the morning before the accident he passed over, and thought
the noise greater than usual.

VERDICT 07 MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST TWO

MIDIC4L ZAN.

MAIDSTONE, hi. 21.

The inquiry into the cause of the death of Betsy
Brooker, • you? married woman, wee resumed yesterday
before Mr. Hip ng, the coroner for the borough of Maid-
stone, at the 01 English Gentleman Ina, in that borough.
There have already been two previous inquiries beat the
coroner, and the use, from the cirmunitmitim imoneded
with it, and the supposition that was generally entertained
that the death of the deceased was owing to the unskilful
treatment of two medical gentlemen who attended her during
a premature confinement, has created a great deal of interest
in the neighbourhood of Maidstone' where one of the gentle-
men in question has carried on an extensive practice for •
great number of years.
We have received a full report of the inquest, which it
does not appear expedient to print. At its conclusion,
The jury deliberated for some time, and when the
court was opened they gave a unanimous verdict of " Man-
slaughter" against Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Aycoet, but at the
same time expressed their sympathy with the latter on ac-
count at his advanced age.
The coroner upon this made out his warrant of commit-
ment of the parties to take their trial at the ensuing spring
anises for the county of Kent.

about twenty passengers.

The wool market was dull, the reported fall in

great caution.
At Simon's Bay the Simoom arrived from Calcutta

Phoebe arrived on the 21st; and the Leopold, screw

THE ARREST OF MR. HODGE.

TO TIM SOTTO/ OP TIT =PUN.

Sre.„—A few days ago, a Telegraphic Despatch' was
received in London, from Turin, requesting the im-
mediate pressure of the uncle of Mr. Hodge, the
Englishman lately arrested at Genoa, as it was •
matter of life or death. Mr. Hodge's uncle has been
to Turin, and returned, but I believe without being
allowed to see his nephew.lt appears that the French
Government have demaaded that Mr. }lodge be
given up to them on the charge of being concerned
is the attestor of 14th January ; and that the Sar-
dinian Government, who had arrested Hodge at the
request of the French police, would have complied
with this further demand but for the vigorous in-
tervention of Brofferio, the liberal member of the
Sardinian Chamber of Deputise, and the interference
of our Envoy, Sir James Helms, who has written
over to Lord Melinesbury to state that there is not a
tittle of evidence even to justify the arrest of Mr.
Hodge.

Loed Malmesbury, it is said, has laid the papers
before the Attorney-General, for his opinion as to
whether the French Government have any right,
ender the ciicumstanoes, to claim Mr. Hodge. Mean-
while Mr. Hodge, who went to Nice for the winter
because he was suffering from a pulmonary disorder,

our forces at Cawnporc every scrap of news is valu-
able. The following brief extracts—written, as will
be seen, on the eve of going into action, and when
the artillery was roaring its hoarse prelude—though
brief, have this recommendation, that they are
written by one of the beet officers in the Indian
army, and by one whose position affords him access
to the best intelligence. The letter is dated
Camp, Cawnpore, Ike. 2:
" We have got back in time to save Cawnpore
from fall ug into the hands of the rebels. The
Owalior force, with the Baize lihaie (widow of the
late Maharajah) at their head, and that scoundrel
Nana Sahib, with all his forces, united and attacked
the cantonments five days ago, and are at the pre-
sent moment in possession of one-half. They have
just opened a cannonade, and we are under order
to move ; and ere long, in all probability, something
decisive will happen. We are strong in the hands
of HIM whom we serve, and who is able to give the
victory to the many or the few. It is a solemn.
m invent."

Of the previous operations of his force under Sir
Cohn, the writer merely says:
We have accomplished the relief of the garrison
of LaCILDOW, and brought off all the ladies, women,
and children to this place, leaving a strong force in
position near that city. We had some very hard
fighting; and Sir Colin allows that even Crimean
heroes will acknowledge it some of the very heaviest
tire they have ever been under. He is warm in his
praise of the !Bengal Artillery."
The following few words afford a glimpse into the
state of the Mob :

" My last intelligence from Kuaiowlee was dated
9th November; since that our communications with
the provinces above have been interrupted."

oonvening • misting to adopt measures for obtaining the en-
franchisement of Woolwich as • separate parliamentary
borough. The chair wee taken by J. R. Jolly, Bal., •
gentleman of great local indmince, who strongly advocated
the separation of Woolwich from Greenwich, on account of
tie haportance to point of population, &o.
Mr. W. Noses, solicitor, moved • resolution for the
adopUon of • memorial to the premier, request in him to
carry out such a plan, in the details of the expectedßeform

Mr. B. MVIRAT, = extensive contractor, seconded the
motion._ _ _

The Rev. T. TUFPIELD, in a long address, pointed out
that it was not for the interests of the people to divide exist-
ing oonatituencica, but to add to the number of electors. If
four members were given to Greenwich and Woolwich,
=, how many members ought to be given to -
the Tower Hamlets P They must not look at
question locally but nationally. Be moved as an amend-
mast, that a memorial be presented in favour of
the Introduction, as • part of the New Reform Bill, of
• large extension of the frond:dm, the vote by
ballot, an adjustment of electoral districts, so as to glee •
majority of members to a majority of electors, triennial par-
liaments, sal the abolition of the property validation for
member. of parliament. (Load cheers.)
Mr. FORDHAY seconded the motion, and expressed an
opinion, which was warmly received, that to creste a parlia-
mentary borough from the district of Woolwich would be
simply banding over such, borough to the will and pleasant

THE LEVIATHAN.

The launching operation would most likely have
terminated yesterday by placing the vessel at low water
mark, there to wait for the next spring tide, but through an
oversight of the foreman having charge of the after cradle,
due precaution was not tarn to provide for the influx of the
tide, and consequent tendency of the wood parking to float
and separate. The consequence wee that immediately the
pre/sure was applied, the vessel slipped some two
and a half inches, the strata of timber connect-
ing the rams went up with the cradle, and
all further operations necessarily ceased for the day. The
inconvenience will, however, be of the moat temporary cha-
racter, and se the tide ebbs all will be adjusted and made
secure again. Oper►tions are to be resumed today, and
there Is every reason to expect that the vessel will be launched
to low-water mark.

The proceedings attracted a considerable number of dis-
tinguished visitors. Amongst others, the Hon. Mr. Dallas,
Amesiaan minister, who was accompanied by a party of
ladies; Hon. J. B. Preston, late Secretary of the United
States Navy ; Earl of Liclitleld, Admiral Gordon, Rear-
Admiral Hamilton, Dr. Livingwone, Mayor of Gloucester,

round the works and ship by Mr. Yates, the indefatigable

ARRIVAL OF THE ANGLO-SAXON.

LIVERPOOL, TIVII/DaT.
The screw steamship Anglo-Saxon, Captain Mac-
Nlasters, belonging to the Montreal Ocean Steam-
ship Company, arrived here to-day, having left Port-
land, U.S., on the afternoon of the 13th imt. She
brought 38 paaseagers, but no specie. By this arrival
we have New York papers of the 12tit, three days
later than those received by the America on Monday
last.

The steamship Canada arrived at Boston on the
12th inst.

The steamer North Star would not leave New
York on the 20th, for Southampton, sa advertised.
A defalcation to the extent of 146,000 dollars had
been discovered in the Union Bank of New York.
The delinquent was, the book-keeper, named Bro-
thereon, who had made good his escape, and weed-
ing to the latest rumour, he sailed for Europe in the
steamship America. He had for a length of time
been addicted to gambling, drinking, and dissipa-
tion ; but the directors of the bank failed to take
notice of the warnings which they received. Mr.
Jacob H. Mott, a broker, had been arrested se an
accomplice, and it was expected that other parties
would be implicated. The stability of the bank
would not be affected, as it was pommeled of a good
...7itr fund.
proceedings in Conferees had been of little
importance. Kansas was still the prevailing theme.
A resolution had been offered in the Senate calling
on the President for the instructions sent to the
United States Marshal in Utah; and a MeMerill had
been presented in the same body in favour of the
establishment of a line of mail steamers between
Philadelphia and Brazil.
The bill authorising certain officers and men en-
gaged in the several United States expeditions in
search of Sir John Franklin to receive medals from
the British government had finally passed both
houses.

The House of Representatives had been consider-
ably agitated by the minority of the special com-
mittee on the affairs of Kansas carrying one of their
points against the decision of the Speaker.
A telegraphic despatch from St. Louis says a skir-
mish bad occurred between a party of Mormons and

latter were slain.

THE FRENCH PASSPORT SYSTEM.

(From yorterday'r Monisew r.)

Objections have been raised strained the measures
just taken by the government of the Emperor for re-
=47 the delivery of passports and visas. Never-
all that has been done was to bring again
into nes the regulations that go back to the years
1791, 1807, 1810, and 1818—a11 of which were re-
vised and reduced to one whole in 1833. These
regulations are summed up in the following arrange-
ments:
French diplomatic and consular agents are only to
deliver passports to their countrymen, when the
identity of the applicants is recognised and proved
by the presence of two witnesses. Thoee agents are
prohibited from delivering
.passports to foreigners.
This is a fundamental principle, which had been de-
Crtefrock in England. The British government,
vindg itself recognised the inconvenience of this
mode of procedure, has adopted measures, in order
that British subjects in future may no longer
have rasourse to foreign agents, and may be able to
procure their travelling permit from the English
authorities. . .

The French diplomatic and consular agents have re-
tained the authority of requiring the presence of the
bearers of the passports for which their visa is ne-
cessary. This authority evidently results from the
spirit of the laws now in force but the obligation it
imposes on travellers is not absolute, and fall lati-
tau to deal with exceptional cases is left to the
agents of the Emperor, who are, moreover, autho-
rised to Muse, without requiring the presents of the
parties, the passports delivered by the competent
authorities of foreign states to their own countrymen,
whenever such passports shall be addressed to these
agents by the governments of those states with a
speedal recommendation, and on their responsibility.
Lastly, and independently of these facilities, ow-
ing to the injunctions prohibiting our vice-consular
agents of foreign nationality, in countries adjacent

James BMA an attorney, residing at 31, Bedford-terrace,
Old Ford-bridge, appeared upon a stunimma before Alderman
Hale to show cause why he refused to pay a cabman his fare.
Alfred Able said—On Beturda the eth of March fait,
the defendant hired me, and said J I would welt half an hour
for him without charging it he would give me a job. I said I
would, and he then told me to wait for him at the stables in

Devonshire street Ear, Mile-end-road. I waited an hour
and a half, and then drove him to Staple-inn, when he
refused to pay me my fare, 4s. I asked him for his address,
which he ultimately gave me.
Mr. Elliott—Do you not know I am in the habit of riding
a good deal In cabs P
Complainant—Yee, and that you do not pay for them.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Elliott then questioned the cabman at some length,
eliciting from him that he (Mr. Elliott) had told him, when
he engaged his cab, that he was in the habit of paying two
shillings, but he did not ask his fare; that the cabman had
come to Ms house on Sunday, and agreed to take 2a. 6d., but
Mr. Elliott then said he did not pay debts on Sunday, but
would send round the money on the next day, which he
failed to do.
Alderman Hale said be bad never known a clearer cue.
The defendant must
Pay 4s. for the fare, 3e. for the summons,
and 4s. for two days for of time.
The money was paid In the course of the afternoon.
