LETTERS OF NAVAL OFFICERS.—GENERAL POST-
OFFICE, July, 1854.—The Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury having been pleased, to extend to
officers in the Royal Navy, serving 'abroad, the privilege
granted in 1850, to seamen employed on board her'Ma-
jesty'a ships on foreign stations, of pre-paying, by means
of postage stamps, letters forwarded by them to the
United Kingdom, all letters from naval officers which
may hereafter leach this country in bags made up on
board any of her Majesty's ships are to be delivered
free, provided the postage to which such letters are
liable for conveyance from the place where they may
originate to the United Kingdom, be duly paid by post-
age stamps of the proper value being affixed to them.
These instructions relate especially to postmasters at
the outports, to which mails are brought from abroad
by packet or by private ship.
THE STEAM-SHIP FRANKLIN.—Latest particulars re-
specting the situation of the steam-ship Franklin, are

sta ti within g fromthe heavy
buffeting buffeting which she had endured from the moment of the
disaster up to the hour at which our last accounts were
written, the machinery still held together, and was con-
sidered to be in good working order, although covered
with water. Mr. Kane, the purser, with about 35 of
the hands employed in various departments of the vessel,
reached Brooklyn by the Long Island Railroad at a
quarter-past 3 o clock yesterday afternoon. A number
of the crew were left behind, owing to having been
marched to a wrong station, and they suffered a good
deal from want both of food and fresh water. As the
Franklin is the first steamer which ever went aground
on the Long Island shore, the scene at the mainland, on
the bay, and even in the surf, was at once romantic and
affective. Mrs. Commodore Hull, Mr. and Mrs. Mor-.
ris, with some 6 or 8 more of the passengers, remained
at Bishop's Hotel, Morriches, yesterday morning. It
was then expected that the baggage and a portion of the
cargo would reach New York this evening, or to-mor-
row (Friday) afternoon, at least. The baggage has been
well cared for, and the Custom-house officials were dili-
gent in the execution of their duty.--New York Herald,
July 20.

COLLISION ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE
RAILWAY.—LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—Last night, a little
after six o'clock, an accident happened on the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire and East Lancashire Railway near
this town, by which a very large number of passengers
were placed in an exceedingly perilous position, and
several of them severely shaken and bruised. , About
five minutes past six o'clock an excursion train, consist-
ing of twenty-two carriages belonging to the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Company, with a number of passengers
from Manchester and Staleybridge, left the Exchange
station on its return to Manchester, and, on arriving
at Sandhills-bridge, about a mile and a-half from Liver-
pool, the train was compelled to stop while a luggage
train was being shunted from the main line on to a
siding. While the excursion train was thus at a stand
the East Lancashire Parliamentary train, from Liver-
pool to Preston and Blackburn, consisting of 14 car-
riages, which left the Exchange station five minutes after
the Manchester train, came up at a brisk pace, and ran
violently into the excursion train, knocking the passen-
gers from their seats, and severely bruising the heads,
faces, and limbs of several. It was fortunate that the
driver of the East Lancashire train, seeing the excursion
train on the line, had time to put the break on and
check the speed of his train, otherwise the collision would
doubtless have been attended with a fearful loss of
life. As it was, the injuries which the passengers re-
ceived were confined to bruises, but three persons were
driven violently against the opposite side of the carriage
in which they were sitting, and so shockingly cut on
the forehead and about the bead and face, that they
were unable to proceed on their journey, and were
conveyed back to Liverpool. The trains, after having
been delayed for about half an hour, proceeded on their
ourney.
THE CARDEN OUTRAGE.—Some fresh and curious
revelations in connection with the Carden abduction case
are made by the Clontuel correspondent of the Freeman's
Journal, who writes as follows :—" It is a curious fact
that, notwithstanding the energy and zeal with which
the Crown prosecuted Mr. Carden, they failed to deve-
lope the entire of the arrangements which he had made
for securing his intended victim. The trial having closed,
the arrangements which he had made are now very
freely spoken of by his friends and others to whom he
confided Lis plans. Mr. Carden had for some time pre-
idously been concerting measures for effect:ng his object,
and finally decided upon conveying Miss Arbuthnot to
Galway, where he had a steamer chartered 'for the ptir-
pose of taking her out to sea. Relays of horses were
placed along the entire route from Rathronan to Galway.
He intended, immediately on arriving at some pre-
arranged point off Galway Bay, to place his victim on
board the steamer, which, in order to avoid exciting sus-
picion, was lying off the coast at some considerable dis-
tsnce from the harbour, and it was then his intention to
have sailed direct for London. I understand that Mr.
Carden has stated since his imprisonment to his confiden-
tial friends and advisers that the preparations for his
atrocious crime cost him no less a sum than 6,500/."
Meanwhile
the authorities have lost no time in putting
the sentence passed on the culprit into practical effect.
011 Tuesday he was equipped in the gaol costume, and
at once set to work at " bard labour."
Viscount and Viscountess Dungannon and Miss
D'Arcy Irvine have left Grafton-street for their seat,
Brynkinalt, North \Vales, where they intend to receive
a sucooseiou of compasy during the autumn. •
