BOROUGH HOP.
There is very little demand for any kind of hops, yet
prices, owing to the limited supply on offer, are steadily
maintained. New hops have sold at £lO 10s per awt ; and
the accounts from the plantations, on the whole, are fa-
vourable.

THE MIDDLE LEVEL COMMISSION.

An important meeting of the Middle-level Com-
missioners was held yesterday at the George Hotel,
Chateris, in the Isle of Ely, at which there was the
fullest attendance that was ever remembered in con-
nection with the Middle Level.

Edward Fellowes, Esq., of. Ramsay Abbey, was
elected chairman of the commission for the ensu-
ing year, on the motion of Mr. Chilvers, which was
seconded by Mr. Heathoote.

Mr. FELLOWES, M.P., accepted this appointment
with considerable gratitude as the decision of a large
meeting. On looking back at the occurrences of the
last few months, it was impossible but to feel that
the appointment had been and might be again at-
tended with considerable responsibility, but he
would not shrink from trouble and responsibility.
(Cheers.) Alluding to the works rendered neces-
sary by the late inundations, he said that a few
months ago considerable anxiety was felt with re-
ference to the possibility of getting shut off ,the
Middle-level water during the coming winter.
The engineers stated as their opinion that the
syphons might be got to work early enough to
relieve the district before the winter. This had
been accomplished to some extent, for a portion
of them were fixed and had been tried with
complete success. On the previous day the
committee went and saw the syphons at work, and
to their gratification they saw eleven at work ; and
from the way in which they discharged the water
he felt perfectly justified in believing that for the
coming winter the Middle Level was safe from in-
undation. They might therefore with perfect safety
pursue their agricultural avocations. He was led
to anticipate that in the course of another month
the whole of the syphons would be fixed in position,
and that all impediments which at present existed
would be removed out of the way, and they would
freely discharge the water. The hon. gentleman
went on to remark on the necessity of electing a
new board, under the act of Parliament of last ses-
sion, which board could not consist of more than 16
members. As they had done him the honour of
showing their appreciation of his efforts in the past
by re-electing him as their chairman, he hoped they
would give him as coadjutors some useful and prac-
tical men.

THE GREAT FORGR.RIES ON THE BAZI

OF ENO7AND.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS THIS DAY,

This afternoon the five men Buncher, Cummings, Bur-
nett; Brewer, and Griffiths, the men charged with the for-
geries on the Bank of England, on paper alleged to have
been stolen from the mills of Messrs. Portal, at Laverstoke,
were again placed at the bar. A sixth man, Williams, an
engraver, residing at Kennington, by whom the plates were
supposed to have been engraved, was also placed at the bar
with the others

Mr. FresMeld said the sixth prisoner was not in custody
at the last examination, but he had been an ested on a
charge of engraving the plate from which Griffiths printed
the notes. He was not sure that this might not become a
separate charge, but the particulars would develop them-
selves in due course.

Mr. Lewis said he should have to make minute inquiries
as to Brown's evidence, and it might appear at first sight
that it had little bearing on the case. Eventually, however,
it would be found of great importance, as_Brewer entirely
denied the statements which the approver had-made.
Henry Brown, whose evidence in chief has been fully re-
ported, was recalled, and Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk,
read through the whole of his evidence. He was then sub-
jected to cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, who appeared
for the prisoner Brewer.

FA7AL ACCIDENT oN THE HAM
MERSIIIITH EXTENSION RAIL WAY.

FURTHER PARTICULARS THIS DAY.
Up to one o'clock to-day the list of fatalities occasioned
by the falling of the arches of the Hammer: smith and City
Extension Railway can account of which will be found in
another column) had not been increased.
The scene in the immediate neighbourl Loa of the terrible
calamity this morning was one of perfect desolation, and
despite the swampy state of the ground and the coldness
of the day a great number of persons visited the spot. The
railway runs on an embankment until within. 150 or 200
yards of the Silchester-road, and then it is carried on by
means of arches. Owing to the long continued wet weather
the foundation of this immense amount of brickwork must
have become impaired, for, of the whole number of arches,
only a small portion of two adjoining the Silchester-road
remain standing, the remainder, as far as then embank-
ment, being now one immense heap of rubbish.
A number of workmen were engaged in placing timber
supports to the arches still standing, but ono or two of them
present a very dangerous appearance.
The coroner's inquiry, at which a full statement of the
causes that have led to such fatal results, will be held in a
day or two.

'I ATTERSALLS'-LAST EVENING.

As was anticipated, being an " off" day, scarcely a dozen
members looked in this afternoon, and but a feeble attempt
at speculation was made. sto 1 was freely offered on the
field for the Liverpool Cup, and 7 to 1 taken to some money
about Dulcibella. Nothing else mentioned.

ACCIDENT ON THE ULSTER RAILWAY.—On
Tuesday night,
abou, five minutes to nine o'clock, as the
express train from Dublin to
.Belfast was approaching Dun-
murry station, the stoker, William Fleming, slipped off the
engine, whisk passed over his right leg,
the limb being
completely smashed. He slipped off without the knowledge
of the driver, and was in a few minutes missed. The en-
gine was stopped and revers.ed, and, on coming up to where
he was, the nriver found bim in the care of a woman from
a neighbouring cottage, who was nursing him, and who
had been attracted to his pace by his calls. The injured
man was brought to Belfast. 1)r. Moore was speedily in
attendance upon him. He was taken to the General Hos-
pital, where his leg Rae SMPUtatedl-IVorthern Whig.

MARKETS-TIIIS DAY.

The' Supply of English 'Wheat on sale here to• day was
small. The demand, generally speaking, ruled far from
active ; nevertheless, selected samples changed hands
steadily, at about Monday's currency.
We were extensively supplied with foreign wheat. Good
and fine produce moved off slowly, at late rates ; otherwise
the trade was dull, on former terms.

__—
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
previous quotations.

The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, and prices
had a downward tendency. The supply on offer, however,
was small,

Malt was in moderate request, and prices ruled firm.
Oats—the import which has slightly increased—moved
off slowly, at Monday's currency..

Beans and peas were in moderate supply and steady
demand, at full quotations,

Only a mederate business was transacted-in flour, yet
prices were unaltered.

REPORT OF THE INUNDATION COMMITTEE.

The Clerk read the report of the special commit-
tee appointed to take steps to repair the mischief of
May last, from which it appeared that the engineers
estimated the expense of fixing 16 syphons atEl3,OOO
or £14,000 ; 11 of them were fixed, and five more
would be so by the end of the month. They had
been tested three times, viz., on Sept. 30, Oct. 18,
and Oct. 25. On the first occasion they lowered the
water 2 feet throughout the level.—Adopted.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated the 4th inst., says :
" Conservative, or rather feudal deputations con-
tinue to be received by the King. The sense of his
replies is always the same. The constitutional
struggle is spreading throughout the country. The
general opinion is, that, sooner or later, the Govern-
ment must make concessions on the capital ques-
tion of the Budget.
" Count Goltz is spoken of as the new ambas-
sador to Paris, and Count de Redern as likely to
succeed him at St. Petersburg.
" The King has gone to shoot at Letzlingeri, near
Magdeburg, where he will be joined by M. de
Bismark-Schonhausen, on his return from Paris.

LIGHTING OF MINES.

-,p. f
It is well known that, chiefly in consequenceg°
the negligence or imprudence of miners, Sir ---;
Davy's lamp is by no means a secure proteuti°.o
against the explosion of fire-damp. To obviate Oil
danger, MM. A. Dumas and Benoit have recellt'i
proposed an apparatus of theirs to the Academy of
Sciences. This apparatus consists of-1. An ele(i
ment of a voltaic pile. 2. A Ruhmkorff's coil, On
a glass tube of those blown by M. Geissler. T 137.
light produced is cold, or rather does not heat the
tube in which it is produced; gas or fire-damp call
obtain no access to it, since it is perfectly insulated;
it is quite as durable as the lamp, and it emits 11°
..
nauseous or injurious effluvia. It may be lighted 0;
extinguished at will. Its action will last at least 1'
hours at a time without any diminution of light, °
any necessity of trimming it; all the workman has to
do is to shake the charcoal pencil by means of a rod

WRECK OF TIIE FLYING MIST.—A telegram age
received in Glasgow on Wednesday antiouncing that t't
Flying Mist, which left the Clyde on the stb of June It°
for Otago, New Zealand, was lost at Bluff Bay, within;
short distance of her destination. The ill-fated vessel 11
chartered by Messrs. Cree, Skinner, and Co,, to carry Ota
flock of Leicester sheep, together with a general cargo, au
when she left the Clyde she had on board 1,760 sheep, bet
sides 18 passengers, principally shepherds. It appears till'
the crew and passengers, with 800 sheep, ware saved o°l
the wreck. The Flying Mist, a vessel of 1,184 tons, ''ca,
built in 1856 at Midford, and belonged to Messrs. 6'
Chase and Co., of Boston, United States.

THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

The Bishop of Oxford has published the follow-
ing letter to the Archdeacons of the diocess, recom-
mending a diocesan collection for the distressed
operatives in Lancashire : _

4, Cuddesden, Nov. 5.

" My dear Mr. Archdeacon,—May I request you to let the
clergy of your archdeaconry know that I recommend them
to bring the needs of our distressed brethren in the manufac-
turing districts before their parishioners, and to make collec-
tions for them in their churches ? In order to make the
appeal as simultaneous as possible, I would suggest to those
to whom it would not be inconvenient to make their collec-
tions on Christmas day—a day on which our thankfulness
for our blessed Lord's Nativity, and our own home and
family blessings, may w movo no to übciaittj towards
our brethren suffering, through no fault of their own, from
hunger, cold, and nakedness. To any to whom Christmas-
day might be an inconvenient time, I would suggest, in-
'stead of it, one of the Sundays in Advent.
The suing collected may be remitted to the Manchester
Relief Committee, either through a London banker or
through the Rural Dean; but in either case the amount
of the collection should be stated to the Rural Dean, that
the total amount collected through the, diocess may be
ascertained.

" I am, my dear Mr. Archdeacon, your faithful friend
and brother, " S. OXON."

THE MANSION-HOUSE COMMITTEE.

Yesterday and on Wednesday together a sum amounting
in the whole to £6,300 flowed into the Mansion-house for
the Relief Fund. Within the last few days there has been
a marked increase in the subscriptions, and for the present
the Long Parlour of the Lord Mayor's residence has been
converted into a kind of bank. On the other hand, large
quantities of cast-off garments, blankets, and flannel keep
pouring into the depot established by the
committee at
Bridewell Hospital, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, from day to
day. Yesterday 28 large bales of clothing, properly sorted
for men, women, and children, were despatched from the
depot to various places in the distressed districts, to which
they are conveyed, free of cost, by the London and North-
Western Railway Company—namely, to B lackburn, 7 bales ;
Wigan, 6 ; Stock, ort, 6; Heaton Norris, Stockport, 5; and
Glossop, 4.

ground. Several policemen came up, and the
fracas was put an end to. He (Mr. B ard) could
offer no evidence to corroborate the prosecutor ex-
cept from what he might term the enemy's camp.
He should call one of the gentlemen who accom-
panied the defendant. If that gentleman gave his
evidence candidly and fairly it would show that
there lit2cl been a conspiracy to commit this out-
rage on the
;.7 t
osecutor, but he (Mr. Beard) might
have some diffici Y
in eliciting that fact from Et
hostile witness. Shoi.7!
d he succeed in proving it,.
he would submit that this 7as not a case in which
a fine would meet the ends of justice, but he should
ask the magistrate either to commit the defendant
to prison without a fine, or send him to take his
trial at the sessions. Complainant was so much
disfigured that he was obliged to get his face
painted before he could appear to sing in public.
The complainant gave evidence in support of the
facts stated by Mr Beard, who then called
Mr. Wells, a friend of the defendant—This wit-
ness gave his evidence with obvious reluctance. He
denied that he was aware of any conspiracy to as-
sault Mr. West, hut admitted the assault itself. He
alleged that Mr. West struck or pushed defendant
after receiving the first blow.
Mr. Innes, in a very able defence, endeavoured to
show that the assault was of a trivial nature, and
not premeditated. He called as a witness Mr. Ninct.,
another of defendant's companions, who spoke verrr,
strongly in support of defendant's case—but in
cross-examination by Mr. Beard equivocated, va-
ried his statements and completely broke down.
Mr. Hall said that if it had been conclusively
shown that there had been a conspiracy to commit.
this outrage he should have sent the defendant to
prison for two months without the option of a fine.
But he could not say that the conspiracy was dis-
tinctly proved. One witness, though called for the
prosecution, was undoubtedly biassed in favour of
the defendant. Both witnesses evidently knew
more than they were d'sposed to confess. The man-
ner in which they had given their evidence was
most disgraceful to them. Yet, as the conspiracy
was not proved, he would not take the extreme
course of committing the defendant without a fine,
but he would impose the heaviest penalty which
the law empowered him to inflict—namely, a fine
of £5, including costs—not only the ordinary coats
cf the Court, but with £2 2s. for the costs of the
solicitor for the prosecution.

SCENE IN A _RAILWAY CARRIAGE.

As the down train of the Waterford and Limerick
Railway was passing between Tipperary and Cahit
on Monday evening, it was brought to a standstill
—The screams of two young females, piercingli
loud, and their efforts to fling themselves out o',
a second class carriage, caused this sudden stoppage'
The guard, Patrick Fitzgerald, hastened to the BO
of the train, where the terrified young creature
were seen with their bodies protruding from the
open window. The doors at that side of the train
were all locked, and the shrieks of the two young
girls, who belong to a respectable class in life, were
most painful. Earnestly they demanded to be re
moved from that to another carriage, and they clung
around the neck of the guard, whose protection they
sought, and who describes the scene and the .moo'
ment as being of a most trying character. Froa.v'
very unconnected tale it appeared that a young
man, " respectably dressed," and one of four male
passengers who occupied seats in the carriage it:
which the girls were, had taken from his pocket
suddenly a bottle, and had thrown its contents 0
their faces. Though thickly veiled the fluid fella'
their cheeks, which began to smart them, and 01'
most instantaneously they felt " a numbed Bens;
tion" and a feeling as if of unconsciousness creeping
over them. The windows of the carriage had Pre•
viously been closed by the man who had acted in
rude and mysterious a manner. Their " respect
ably-dressed" assailant handed the bottle be 136 a
,
used to the guard ; but incautiously Mr. Fitzgeriva
threw it away. By gentle persuasion the young
women were induced to re-enter the train, wide-
charge of Mrs. Whiteside, wife of the station-01%
ter at Clonmel, who states that ere they arrived $
Cahir the girls seemed to pass from the paroxfsl33.
of terror into another. In Cahir such was Wit
enfeebled state that both left the train, and to
mained there under the medical care of Pt;
Stokes. The bottle-holder was detained in C 631,
for the night, under the surveillance of the 01.
stabulary, and next day was brought before Des19
0
O'Brien, Esq., J.P. One of the young female;
who had her passage paid to New Zealaii;
recovering, was permitted to proceed by the
night mail to the steamer at Waterford' ;
The other remained to confront the accused. rile
court assembled, and the sworn depositions were
read in presence of a large force of police, uvcie
Mr. Fosberry, sub-inspector, the medical gentleroe!
and others, and the magistrate required the Pr°6l
duction of the bottle to have the contents analyset;
The guard and head constable were despatched iv
search for the missing phial, which was fortunate
discovered, and found to contain eau de Cologileo
The accused was allowed to return to Waterford

cashier he knew that the engagements of the bank
were very heavy
• but he
at that time. On the Tuesday he
saw the prisoner in the bank At 1 &mom;
did not remember seeing him before that time Ott
that day. Witness produced his bash-book. From
this it appeared that there were received on Tues-
day, October 21, two sums of £l6 4s. and £37
16s. before witness came to the bank. The prisoner
was debited on that day as having received £38155.
On the Wednesday there were five entries of pap
ments made on the prisoner's account, amounting
to £3O 16s. 6d. altogether.
By Mr. Richardson—l do not remember that
any cheques or bills presented on the Tuesday were
not duly paid, supposing the party drawing the
cheque had a cash balance at the bank.
By the Bench—On account of the cheques he
received on the Tuesday, £4BB 15s. ; and paid away
£545 14s. 4d. _ _

Mr. Richardson said that there were two or
three other cases, but he would prefer to have the
opinion of the Bench on the case now before them
at once, as that was as strong as any of the others.
Mr. Ross said that it was the opinion of the
Bench that Mr. Richardson had better proceed with
the other cases. _ _

Mr. Richardson said that the second charge
against the prisoner was for having fraudulently
misapplied the sum of £4O paid into the bank on
account of Mr. Thomas Parsons, silk mercer, in St.
Ann's-square. He should be able to show that on
the 10th of October, the sum of £4O was paid into
the City Bank, for the purpose of being remitted to
Mr. Parsons, who was in London at the time ; but
the remittance had never been made.
William Sutter, an apprentice to Mr. Parsons,
said that on the 10th of October, from six to half-
past six in the evening, he went to the City Bank
to get Bank of England notes for £4O. Whilst he
was there the prisoner came in. Witness was then
in conversation with Mr. Coulson, who said he
could not give him notes, bat that he would give a
draft. The prisoner said that was the safest way of
remitting money. Witness did not understand it,
and Mr. Coulson said in the presence of the prisoner
that Mr. Parsons would have the money paid to
him on the following morning by allowing a small
discount. Witness said that he was not quite sure
about it. The prisoner said that it would be quite
right ; that he knew Mr. Parsons; and that he had
had similar transactions with other persons in the
square.
After hearing some further evidence the magis-
trates decided that this case did not come within
the limits of the statute.

Additional evidence was then produced in the
case of Mr. Lyon, and after hearing Mr. Cobbett the
magistrates retired for consultation. After an ab-
sence of about three quarters of an hour,
Mr. Ross, the presiding magistrate, said—We
have very carefully and very patiently considered
this case, and we are unanimously of opinion—the
whole of the magistrates—after considering the evi-
dence in all its bearings, and considering what has
been advanced by Mr. Cobbett for the defence, that
it is our duty to send the case for trial at the assizes.

71-IE ARMY.

By the appointment of Major-General W. H.
Eden to the colonelcy of the 90th Light Infantry
Regiment a major-general's good service pension is
placed at the disposal of his Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief.
The colonelcy of the 76th Regiment of Foot has
become vacant by the death of Gen. Jervois, which
took place on Wednesday at Bath. The deceased,
who had reached the advanced age of 80, had been
in the service nearly 60 years. He received his
first commission early in 1804 as ensign in the 89th
Regiment, which he accompanied to Hanover in the
following year. In 1810 .he was appointed to the
staff of Lord Blayney, and accompanied him on the
expedition to Malaga. He was slightly wounded
in the attack on the fortress of Frangerola. In 1813
he was appointed to the staff of Sir G. Drummond,
with whom he embarked for Canada, where during
the operations of that and the following year he was
present at almost all the actions fought with the
American army. Gen. Jervois was appointed to
the colonelcy of the 76th Foot in 1853, and in recog.
nition of his services in the army had been created
a Knight of the Order of the Guelphs of Hanover.
The extensive range of buildings recently erected
for the married non-commissioned officers and
men attached to the first division of the Depot
Brigade, Royal Artillery, having been completed
by Messrs. Naylor and Son, the builders, and
handed over to the War Department, the married
men belonging to the division have taken possession
of their new quarters, in conformity with an order
to that effect issued by Major-Gen. Eyre. Each
married soldier is provided with a separate room,
and in certain cases two rooms are allotted to a
family. The entire building is fireproof, and con-
structed with a due regard to the health and comfort
of the inmates. Since its completion the erection
has been inspected by the officials connected with
the War Department, who have pronounced it to be
one of the best buildings of its kind yet erected.

A FRENCH. VISI7 TO GARIBALDI.

The Turin correspondent of our esteemed contemporary
Le Temps relates the following conversation which he had
with Garibaldi on the occasion of a recent visit to Spezzia,
as he says, word for word :—" I am thankful to you," said
Garibaldi, " for believing that there is no 0110 whose visit
I would at this moment receive with more delight than
that of a Frenchman. I should be strangely forgetful
the French people were Itoh
isse e an

may be. I would be sorry it should
that it is through a paltry be considered in France
feeling of national jealousy
I have grieved to find my native province a French depart-
ment. I believe—or rather, lam certain—that, in future,
we are to strive for mutual approximation ; frontiers are
nothing ; all mankind have one common country—liberty.
But to attain and secure universal liberty, every nationality
must individually acquire the full possession and the un-
restricted exercise of that liberty ; and it is on this account
that I have seen with sorrow the withdrawal of Nice from
Italian unity. I would not wish it should be believed in
France that, at any period of my life, I have desired to
come in collision with the soldiers of France. I wish France
could hear what I now say to you, and 1 ask of you to tell
it at least to your friends." I have already, I replied, told
it, actuated by an instinctive feeling which is founded on
the nobleness of your character. But I will now tell it
again still more authoritatively.
We then talked of his health. I told him how happy
I was that the fears entertained at Turin were exagge-
rated, or at least that his present state was so different from
that which had given rise to them. (It did not in the least
annoy him to speak of those fears. He either reads himself,
or listens to others reading, a great number of newspapers;
and hence he knows almost everything which is published
regarding him.) He smiled the happy smile of invalids who
catch the glimpse of a speedy cure. It is clear that he looks
forward to such a cure ; that he has some kind of priensei.it-
went that it will take place. I took leave of hanim, banr

ENGINEERS' REPORT.

The Engineers' report, which was dated Oct. 25,
stated that nine syphons were fixed, and when
tested on Oct. 18, on the three tides, they had low-
ered the water 7 feet 6 inches between the doors at
Wellcreek and the syphon dam. They hoped the
whole of them would be fixed by the latter end of
the month of November. The breach was filled up
and the banks were being repaired. They esti-
mated that whole expense that would have te..
be incurred to put the drainage on a safe footing at
£62,500. The engineers who signed the report
were Mr. John Hawkshaw and Mr. Thomas Harri-
son.,-=Adopted.

ELECTION OF THE NEW BOARD.
Various matters of a routine character having
been disposed of,
The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the meet-
ing to the necessity that existed for them now to
appoint a new board, under the act of last session.
As the boardcould only consist of 15 members, it
was advisable that there should be a fair division of
the level, so that all parts of the country should be
fairly represented. The Middle Level contained
113,126 acres, and therefore there would be one
member of the board to every 7,000 acres, and it
was therefore proposed to divide the level into six
divisions, with representatives for each division ac-
cording to acreage.
The following gentlemen were elected members
of the first board :—Messrs. Fellowes, Heathcote,
Wells, M. Lawrence, D. Martin, Major Fryer, C.
Tebbutt, A. Ruston, C. Sheppherson, I. Culledge,
J. Brown, T. Richards, C. Townley, H. Wooll, and
C. Wool.
