Ai EXIO AN BON DB OLD IC RN_

The following is from the Committee of Mexican
Bondholders :

The committee are in receipt of advice from Mr.
Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 24 ult. The President
still remained at Cuernavaca, hut Mr. Whitehead had
had a first interview with the Minister of Finance, Senor
D.o) Guillermo Prieto, who assured him that the Govern-
ment was most anxious to act justly and honourably
towards the bonlholdels. Mr. \Vhitehead left a memo-
rial with him as regards the principal points connected
with the foreign debt which would require his Excel-
lency's attention. The election of members of Congress
was appointed to take place on the 16th inst., and their
first session was to open on the 14th of February next
at Dolores Hidalgo. In the meantime Vidaurri still
kept aloof at the bead of his followers in the north, and
was endeavouring to prevail on Tampico to adopt his
plan (which includes the disbanding of the army), and
not that of Ayutla. The remittance for the dividend
fund from Vera Cruz is only 12,000 dols., but the agents
of the bondholders write that the next packet will bring
mere. This packet [.rings nothing from Tampico, but
the agents of the bondholders there had got 6,000 dols.
in small money and an order on the Custom-house for
9,597,1015. in their Lands on account of the dividend
fund."

DREADFUL CATASTROPIIE AT OW M-
AYON, ABERDARE.

We much regret that it is our duty to announce one of
the most melancholy occurrences which have happened
is this neighbourhood for a long time past. It appears
that Messrs. Carr and Morrison Lava a pit in work at
Cwmavon, which is about 250 yards deep. The men are
conveyed to and from their work by an engine at the top
of the shaft, which lifts and lets down a large box or
tram for this purpose. The sa.mo shaft and c engine_
used for bringing up the minerals, horses, 0

leaving work, was in a moment hurled against the pulley
at the top, and the enext minute it was, with its living
freight, falling with frightful velocity down the shaft
they bad just ascended. The chain which lifted the tram
coming in contact with the pulley had snapped, and the
consequence was as we have related. The scene presented
at the bottom of the pit, a few minutes afterwards, was
of the most harro wing description. The tram had dashed
itself against the edge of a deep bank at the bottom of
the pit, knocking the fame-work into pieces; and in the
immediate neighbourhood were the remains of five muti-
lated bodies. The other three must bare fallen into the
water, as they have not yet been found. Solomon. Lloyd
was brought before the magistrates on Thursday, but no
evidence was gone into, and he was remanded. The
unfortunate roan appeared to feel very much the awfel
havoc of human life which had been caused. The coro•
ner's inquest was expected to be held yesterday (Friday).

Yesterday evening, Mr. W. Williams, M.P. for Lam-
beth, met a numerous body of his constituency at the
Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of explain-
ing his political conduct during the last session. The
large room of the tavern was filled, and the hon. gentle-
man met with a very warm reception. Mr. John
Groves was called to the chair, and, after a few preli-
minary observations, introduced Mr. Williams to the
neeting.
Mr. WILLIAMS said he bad invited his constituents to
meet him that night, as he had done at the termination
of every session since he had had the honour of being
their representative-in Parliament, to give them an op-
portunityexplanation of his conduct
of demanding any
during the last session. He would now state what his
conduct had been. He hoped his constituents required
it, and that they looked sharp after him, as that was
the best means of keeping men honest and true to
their duty. In the first place, he would tell them
that he was to be found in his place in the House of
Commons every night during the past session, with the
exception of five only, when he was prevented by severe
illness, (Cheers.) He took part consequently in all the
proceedings of the session, and he could conscientiously
state that in every vote he gave, and in every opinion
he expressed, which he did upon some importent mea-
sures in the House of Commons, he had acted to the
best of his judgment, and in strict conformity to the
principles that he had upon former occasions laid before
his constituents, and which principles induced them to
place him in the position of their representative. (Cheers.)
In proof of what he stated he would mention a very im-
portant fact. The Administrative Reform Association
—of which they had doubtless heard a great deal, and
which association had effected some good, and would, he
dare say, do a great deal more—that association had
looked through the proceedings of thelast session, and bad
selected eight votes that most carried out the principles
of Admininistrative Reform. Of the 654 members which
constituted the House of Commons, only four voted for
those eight questions, and he was one of those four.
(Cheers.) The session was a very long one, but yet he
was sorry to say that not many important measures be-
came law. A great amount of time was wasted in con-
tests for place and power. Those that were in were
anxious to keep in, and those that were out were as
anxious to get in, and the time of the country was
wasted to an enormous extent between the contests of
these two parties. (Shame.) He would first call the
attention of his constituents to a matter in which they
had all taken some interest, namely, the Metropolitan
Local Management Bill. That was a most important
measure. Before the passing of the bill the: were 276
different public bodies carrying out the local manage-
ment of the affairs of the various parishes of the me-
tropolis. Many of those bodies were self nominative ;
others appointed by the Crown ; and all of them levying
very heavy rates upon the householders, which they ex-
pended, and to a very great extent squandered, without
any responsibility or accountability to any person what-
soever. Now this bill placed the election of the vestry
and the board of works in the hands of every rate-
payer. No person who paid a rate would have to do so
without having a voice in the appointment of the per-
sons who levied and expended that rate. The bill when
it came into operation would of course require several
alterations—few bills that passed the House of Commons
did not. If, however, that should be so, he should be
most happy to place any service he could render his con-
stituents at their disposal. (Cheers.) A bill was also
passed last session to abolish the duty upon newspapers.
That was a question in which the public had taken
great interest for several years, and was now accom-
plished. (Cheers.) There was another bill which created
some sensation—a. bill to regulate the closing of public-
houses on Sundays. (Hear, hear.) That bill had been
considerably ameliorated, and he hoped to such an extent
as would satisfy all parties. There was another bill which
had been deemed one of great importance, with reference
to limited liability in partnerships. That bill passed
the House of Commons ; but, as soon as it entered the
House of Lords., it was ruined, and he now attached but
little importance to it. There was also a bill upon which
he had expressed his opinion, and he should state the
r a-ion he did so. They had heard a great deal about the
Turkish loan. (Hear.) Now, be voted for that—and
he did so because, having, in the earlier part of his life,
been actively engaged in commercial pursuits, he had
visited Turkey, and could state that the Turks were as
honest and fair dealing a set of people as any in the
world. (Loud cheers.) Again, the advantage of the lean
had been seen in the glorious victory obtained by the
Turks over the army of that great despot the Czar of
Russa,. (Loud cheers.) There was another bill, called the
Foreign Enlistm nt Bill. Now, he bad a great objection
to introducing foreigners into the army, but, alter hear-
ing of the great hardships to which our army was ex-
posed in the Crimea—(hear, hear) —he thought there
could be no reasonable objection to it, and lie gave his
vote accordingly. (Cheers.) There were several other
rneamres of importance brought before Parliament. The
ballot—(hear, hear)— was another question which had
occupied the attention of Parliament. He had always
voted for the ballot, and he was glad that it had been in-
troduced into the new bill f ir the management of the me-
tropolis. The abolition of Church-rates had received a
great impetus in Parliament during the last session ; and
he believed enough had been done to lay a foundation for
the total abolition of those imposts at no distant day.
Another important question on which he had voted was
Mr. Roebucks committee to inquire into the state of the
army before Sebastopol. After that committee made
its report, there was so much ground proved for inculpa-
ting the Government of Lord Aberdeen that Mr. Roe-
buck proposed to censure the members of that Govern-
ment, and he had voted with much satisfaction for that
motion. They were aware that he had always made it a
point to canvass the votes in supply relating to the army
and navy; but as he believed that the best way to put
an end to the war was to make the army as efficient ns
possible, he had not opposed a single vote last session.
Some of the items of the civil service expenditure he re-
garded as monstrous and uncalled-for, and he had opposed
them. He bad opposed a vote of 150,0001. for royal pa-
laces and buildings, and also the annual vote for the sup-
port of the Presbyterian clergy in the North of Ireland
called the Regium, DOMtlit. He had opposed the latter
vote especially on the ground that the people of the
North of Ireland were quite as well able to support their
clergy as the people of either England cr Scotland. He
had opposed the vote, but, be regretted, without much
susses.- There was another important motion which he
bad brought forward, namely, to impose the same amount
of probate duty upon land as was paid upon all other de-
scriptions of property. By the law, as it at present stood,
a great landowner, who had an income of 100,0001. a-year
from land, paid nothing in the shape of probate duty,
while the labourer had to pay 2.1 per cant. upon the bed 611
which he died and the smock•frock he left after him. This
tax would yield 2,000,000/. a-year, which would be a ca-
pital thing to carry on the war with now. Mr. Gladstone,
who was the most honest Chancellor of the Exchequer lie
had ever known, had consented to tax legacies, and as long
as he (Mr. Williams) had a seat in the House of Caul- '
mons, he would support him in that object. Then, again,
corporations, such as universities, and deans and chap-
ters, paid no legacy duty, on the ground that a corpora-
tion never died • but Ile hail obtained a promise from
the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he would tax them
for the future. (Ilear.) Nov?, with regard to the subject
which, like Aaron's rod, swallowed up all others—the
war—he was bound to say, that. heretofore, it had been
conducted without thought and without feeling.
hear.) The bravo army which we Led

shores to invade the territory of the enemy was as fine
an army as ever left the country ; but it was despatchede
in a condition wholly inadequate fur the duty
e
of it. The Government hangera-on sahlitwadgenioti:etiol
be expected that everything could be efficient
the first year of a war ; but did they know that,, during
the last war, the people of Great Britain had expended
300,000,000/. on the army since the last general peace 3
A finer army never left the shores of England than
that which fought the battle of the Alma, and yet they
were left without shelter for three weeks. When they
got into the trenches they bad neither food, clothing, nor
shelter, but thanks to the correspondents of the London
newspapers—(hear)—their condition was made known,
and supplies were sent out. The supplies, however, were
stowed away in ships which were wrecked on a lee shore,
when they ought to have been in the open sea, and all
were lost. When he heard of what bad happened, and of
the state of the roads, ho said, " Good God ! is it possi-
ble there is no way of making a road from Balaklavn to
the camp 1" The anewerhe got was, the men are wanted
for the trenches. Why, at that very moment the Sultan
could have sent as many thousand Turks as were ,
wanted to work on the roads, and the Consul at
Bucharest could have sent thousands of Wallachians,
who were doing nothing, to assist the Turks. When
the condition of the army became known in Eng-
land, all classes united to send out clothes and sup-
plies to the army, but when they arrived in the
Crimea, they were flung in the mud at Baiaklava.
The Government of Lord Aberdeen denied the
truth of the statements of the newspaper correspondents,
and Mr. Roebuck that plucky little fellow—(hear)—
moved
nafar

The committee was appointed, and the result of its la-
bours was to ereveal a worse state of things thae even re-
port had stated t,3

Aberdeen admitted that he had never really ,

at least it could not be charged with leaving the army

STAFFORD, December 3.—This person, who has as-
sumed several aliases, and who has figured in various
parts of the country during the last few years, in bring-
ing false charges against individuals, and causing several
to be imprisoned, was, it will be recollected, recentlf
committed for trial, on a charge of perjury, having given
evidence against two boys, named Perry and Randle, at
the October sessions, at Stafford, in consequence of
which they were sentenced to twhlve calendar months'
imprisonment, on a charge of having robbed her. A
good deal of excitement had been occasioned in antici-
pation of the trial of this female. Mr. Huddleston and
Mr. Scotland were engaged to conduct the prosecution ;
and two learned gentlemen were also engaged for the
defence of the prisoner. In the evening the grand jury
entered the court, and, to the evident astonishment of
all present, the bill against Alice Grey declared by the
clerk of aF,siza to be ignored. Shortly afterwards, on
the grand jury being discharged, Mr. Scotland said be
bad the honour to appear as the representative of the
Attorney-General in the case of Alice Grey, in which
the grand jury had thrown out the bill. He had tele-
graphed to London to that effect, and it might be neces-
sary to frame another bill of indictment against her to
be sent before a grand jury of the county, and he begged
t• ask his lordship not to discharge her until the end of
the assizes, or at any rate that she should not be dis-
charged at present. His lordship, on looking over t!:e
depositions, would exercise his discretion in the matter.
He (Mr. Scotland) had carefully looked into the case,
and had directed the attorney to telegraph to town, and
if his opinion had any influence that course would be
taken.

Mr. Motteram, one of the counsel for the prisoner,
opposed this application, saying he saw no reason why
so unusual a course should be taken because his learned
friend appeared for the Attorney-General.
Mr. Scotland said be did not put it on that ground,
but the Government bad, after carefully considering the
case, take❑ up the prosecution, and he thought his lord-
ship, after locking at the depositions, would probably
think it a proper case to prefer another bill of indictment.
At any rate, he trusted the prisoner would not be dis•
charged until be had bad an opportunity of hearing from
town.

The Judge asked if Mr. Scotland could name any pre-
cedent?

Mr. Scotland said it was frequently done ; and, in re-
ply to Mr. Motteram, said a new indictment might Le
framed out of the same facts as those on which the pre-
sent charge rested.

Henry Pugh, porter at Plympton station, depose d
seeing the defendant in the summer, 1854, arrive by the
train and go to Mrs. Hawker's residence. He some
times cams by the 9 o'clock train. He had never seen
him go back by the train. He had carried a portmanteau
and other things for the defendant from the station to
Borrington Villas. He arrived by the 9 o'clock a.m.
train when he carried the portmanteau. He saw the
defendant and Mrs. Hawker in Wooiaford-lane ; they
were talking together and smoking. (Laughter.) Both
were smoking. (Renewed laughter.)
Cross-examined—That was about four or fire o'clock
in the afternoon ; there was the same entrance gat3 for
the two villas.

Mr. Hill, the junior counsel for the prisoner, sail the
prosecution had hal ample time to have prepared another
bill.

Re-examined—Mr. Norrington, an independent gen-
tleman, resided at the other house. He always took the
things for Sir H. Seale ; it was at Mrs. Hawker's.
Elizabeth Spurling, in October, 1854, lived at No. 6,
West Hoe-terrace, Plymouth, and let lodgings. She (wit-
ness) knew Mrs. Hawker; in the early part of October,
1854, she took the house, she was accompanied by
IMisPolkin gThorne, heillister, who remained about a week.
she continued to occupy the house until March of this
year. On the ground-floor was a dining-room and a
drawing-room ; on the first floor Mrs. Hawker's bed-
room, an upper drawing-room, and what we called Sir
Henry's dressing-room. There was a passage between
the upper drawing-room and the bed-room ; the dress-
ing room adjoined the drawing-room. Witness occupied
the attics. The dressing-room door was about seven feet
from Mrs. Hawker's bed-room door. The second floor
was occupied by Sarah Peen, Mrs. Hawker's ser-
vant, who waited upon her mistress the whole
time Mrs. Hawker resided there. Witness knew the
defendant who called the first day of Mrs. Hawker's ar-
rival at West Hoe Terrace. When she first came she
said in all probability a gentleman would call on her in
the afternoon, he would be a middle-aged gentleman.
Witness was to show him into the drawing-room. Sir
H. Seale was a middle-aged man. When the gen-
tleman called he asked if Mrs. Hawker had ar-
rived. Mrs. Hawker was in her bed-room at the
time ; witness showed him into the lower room. Mrs.
Hawker met him on the stairs. She said, " Do come
up, and see what beautiful apartments I have." He
went uo stairs. He remained in the house till ten or
halt-past la the evening. He arrived about four o'clock.
Sir Henry called almost every day. The dressing-room
was kept locked on the passage side, and ray
servant was forbidden to go into it. There
was a door that communicated with the upper
drawing-room and dressing-room. She did not know
if Sir Henry's clothes were kept there. Ske had seen a
cabinet box in the room with Sir Henry's name on it.
Sir Henry dined almost daily with Mrs. Hawker, and
remained until 10 o'clock, and sometimes 11 and past 12
o'clock at night. They used to dine in the dining-room.
She had seen Sir Henry on the landing at Mrs Hawker's
bed-room door, and in the bed-room she had seen hire
several times, and had heard him in the bed-room when
she had not seen him, the bed-room door being shut.
She bad seen him in the bed-room mornings and
evenings after the door of the house had been closed.
Witness went into the lower drawing-room where she
saw the defendant lying on the sofa asleep. Mrs. Hawker
had gone up to her bed-room. On one occasion she
saw Mrs. Hawker and the defendant quarrel. She or-
dered dinner and went out, leaving Dr. King in the
house, and did not return until nine or ten o'clock i❑
the evening. Sir Henry also went away, and returned
between six and seven o'clock. Seven o'clock was
the usual dinner hour. Mrs. Hawker had
❑ot returned, and he waited dinner for some time,
and then left. Mrs. Hawker's servant had also left the
house, returned, and left again. When Mrs. Hawker
returned, Sarah Kean had not returned. She afterwards
came in and was sent out, when she and Sir Henry
came back together. A. fly came up to the door, and
she believed it brought him. Ho remained that evening
about an hour. Witness had seen Sir Henry leave the
house one morning bet wean nine and ten o'clock.
He had been at the house the previous evening

Mr. Scotland said it was impossible to have antici-
pated what bad occurred. They were quite unprepared
for it.

The Attorney•General—How did it begin.
Sir F. Thesiger objected to this evidence, and it Wars
withdrawn.

Witness continued —After Mrs. Hawker came in, Sarah
Kean went out and brought back Sir Henry. Mrs.
Hawker was looking through the blind to see them when
they came. Mrs. Hawker's sister came with her, but
went away before Sarah Kean and S,r Henry came back.
I have subsequently identified Sir Henry Seale, when
Ambrose went with me. I had no doubt he was the
gentleman whs had visited Mrs. Hawker.
Cross-examined—l did not know it was Sir Henry
Seale until three m ,ntlis after Mrs. Hawker came. I
saw the sash upon the bed after I knew it was Sir
Henry Seale. It vim 11 o'clock in the morning, and
the :ash was hanging on the side of the bed. On the
night when Sir Henry was in regimentals, the bell rang
for Sarah Kean. I went on pretence t> lock the area
gate, and to look to seo if anybody went out. Nobody
went out. It was the same night that I saw the scene in
the bedroom. He was in regimentals. The door was
partly open. It was between 6 and 7 o'clock. Seeing him
standing by the fire-place, I stood at the door. Mrs.
Hawker went to the bed, and I looked on. I did not
cough or (1.) anything to annoy them, or smile as I do
now at the recollection of it. (A laugh.) I saw criminal
intercourse between them. I stayed till they came out
behind the closet door, and when I heard them exiling
out I went into the closet. My observation lasted a
quarter of an hour. I was dreadfully shocked. I was
ashamed to tell anybody of it. When I went down my mis-
tress found fault with me, and wanted to know where I
had been all the time, and said, To look at the fires."
The first person I told of it was my mistress, and she told
the detective. I never told anybody of it till last week. I
came up to Plumstead with Mr. Crook, the brother-in-law
of Mrs. Spurling. When I left Plymouth I went into ser-
vice at Devonport. I came up to Plumstead about three
months ago, on account of this business. Mr. Crook has
supported me since. I never told anybody I was to have
1001. ; but Mrs. Townsend, with whom I lived at Devon-
port, told me I was to have 1001. in this business. Before
that I had never told anybody what I had seen. I saw
the detective at Plumstead. When I saw Sir Henry
kiss Mrs. Hawker at the street door I was at the top
of the kitchen stairs. The hall was lighted with gas,
and I was not far from them. When I saw them kiss
in the drawing-room I was coming down the stairs, and
the door was open, so that I could see. What I had seen
in the bed-room I knew was improper for a married
lady.

The transactions with regard to Wentworth and El-
lington for the Derby indicated increased confidence.
The former was backed for various sums at 9 and 10 to
1, and the latter was supported for upwards of 1501. at
the odds quoted below.
15 to 1 was token to 601. about Coroner, and 20 to 1
to 251. about Rogerthorpe. 25 to 1 would have been
to 1001. about Artillery, but not a point more than 22
was obtainable. 25 to 1 was taken to 501. about West
Langton, who has evidently an advancing tendency. 30
to to 501. about Milton ; 1,000 to 35, 1,000 to 30, and
500 to 15 twice about Sugar Plum ; 1,000 to 20 twice
about the Prince ; 1,000 to 15 twice about Stanhope (by
The Hero) ; and 1,000 to 10 two or three times about
Newington (the Henrietta colt), said to be in the same
stable with The Prince.

His Lordship said that doubtless for some good reason
—though he must confess he did not know for which
reason—the grand jury, to his surprise, had thrown out
the bill. He had read the depositions, and was certainly
not prepared for such a result. He, however, saw no
sufficient reason why she should not be discharged—in
fact he did not see that he had any power to detain her.
If Mr. Scotland, however, could show hina any precedent
before the court rose, he would be ready to consider it.
The court had not rissn when our report was de,--
patched, and nothing further up to that time had trans-
pired.

THE JOTS OF AN ACTRESS.—Mademoiselle Julie,
who was so seriously injured a week ago at the Ply-
mouth Theatre, in consequence of her dress becoming
ignited while she was dancing on the stage, is in a fair
way of recovery, although very seriously injured. A
Plymouth paper says—" The case of the young lady is a
sad one. She was the prop and support of a widowed
mother and several young children, and at the time of
the accident, we are informed, she had a good engage-
ment coming on at the Dublin Theatre, where she is to
play Columbine ; and she took her engagement here pre-
vious to her going on to the Irish capital. Not only is
she a great public sufferer, but her family suffers se-
verely also.'
COURT OF SESSION.-0 wing to a severe domestic be-
reavement sustained by the Dean of Faculty and Lord
Wood, both of these learned and distinguished gentle.
men were absent from the court on Friday. In conse-
quence of Lord Wood's absence in the Second Division
(Lord Murray being at present indisposed), there was no
quorum of judges, and after the Lord Justice-Clerk and
Lord Cowan had, with the assistance of Lord Handy-
side from the Outer House, passed several bills, the
Division adjourned. In the First Division, and in the
Court generally, numerous cases were postponed in con-
sequence of the absence of the Dean. Among others
the Torhanehill case in the First Division, in which
Messrs. Russell's contract to lease the coal mines is

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—.A most interesting recovery from a vast
complication of diseases, such as indigestion (dyspepsia), fla-
tulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com-
plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility,
without the aid of medicine, by Du Barry's Reva-
leata Arabica Food, is recorded in the following let-
ter :—Cure 52,422.--" Bridgehouse, Friinley, 3d April,
1854. I have suffered these 33 years continually
from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement,
deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, debility, shortness
of breath, and cough, and during that period taken so much
medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a
thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was
in utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when 1
was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Reva-
lenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored me to
a state of health which I long since despaired of attaining.
My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right, my hear-
ing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my
acquaint-
ances.— I am, respectfully;;JAMES ROBERTS, wood-merchant.—

This was the plaintiff's case.
The Attorney• General, in summing ap the evidence,
urged upon the jury that it was clearly shown by Mrs.
Hawker's letter that the insinuation which had been
made, that she had been compelled to leave her
home through her husband's ill-treatment, was entirely
false. That letter, to which he had already referred, he
would now read fully ; it was as follows :

"My dear Johnnie, —lt is useless my saying I will
not write to you ; I cannot help writing to you to en-
treat you to live with you, I am so very wretched. I
hardly think you would persist in refusing my request if
you see my sorrow. Once you wrote to me to implore
that I would return to you, or you should go mad. Ido
say that, but I beg you to forgive me, and have mercy
on me, and come to me. Pa generous, dear Johnnie,
and forgive ; you shall never repent returning if you will
returti ; there shall never be any temper again on my
part, and I will do all I canto make you happy, and. to win
back the affection which seems gone from me. Do listen to
me, Johnnie, and believe mo lam ao miserable: Let 113
