' THE PATRIOTIC FUND.— OXFORD, Oct. 17. -- W II have
s ouch pleasure in stating that the subscription for the
! :sick and wounded in the Crimea has rapidly increased
1 since we announced it yesterday. Nearly
1001. has been
, subscribed towards the relief of these gallant fellows.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—MEETING AT ST. JOHN'S-
' woos.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of St.
John's-wood was held on Monday in the great room of
the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's-wood, for the purpose
. 'of forming a local committee, in conformity with her
Majesty's waria.nt, to collect contributions in aid of the
:Patriotic Fund. The Rev. Henry Maddock, Rector of
::.All Saints, occupied the chair. Resolutions appointing
a local committee, and soliciting the ladies of the dis•
%net to join the same, were unanimously carried.
; THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—The gentlemen in the em-
ployment of Messrs. A. Guinness, Son, and Co., brewers,
.b.; we subscribed a day's pay each to the Patriotic Fund
to r the benefit of the widows and orphans of our brave
at I.diers who have fallen in the East. Oa the subject of
th e Patriotic Fund, the Dublin Evening Post says :
", We are moss anxious that Ireland should not be slow
or negligent at such an emergency, but we are confident
tit at it is only necessary to offer a suggestion on the
subject, in order to insure active measures, in co-opera-
ti on with these commenced in other parts of the United
11:ingdom."
NEW CONVICT PRISON BOARD:—The board of direc-
t;o r 3, under the Convict Prisons Act, has been appointed
`ay the Irish Government. It consists of three members.
'TI to name of the chairman has not transpired ; but the
ot her two members of the board are Captain Knight
(h eretofore connected with the convict department in
E agland) and Mr. John Lentaigne, a Roman Catholic
m agistrate, of the county of Dublin, who had been an
:4 tive member of the committee of the Irish National
1 :hibitiou, The salary of those gentlemen is 6001., to
increase to 8001. per annum.
THE LATE RAILWAY ATROCITY.--VERDICT OF WIT,
Fa L MURDER.--The investigation of the circumstances
co anected with the recent atrocious attempt to overturn
Ha'. 3 excursion railway train at Trillick has at length
isfi sn brought to a close. The greater part of Wednes-
da y last, on which day the inquiry was resumed, was
oc copied in receiving the evidence of the Earl of Ennis.
Id lien, and that of the locomotive manager and engineers
.sf the railway, the result of whose testimony was com-
pleaely to overturn :the statement that the train had
accidentally run off the line, and that the stones were
iela ced there subsequently. At a late hour on Thurs.
, lay evening the coroner's jury agreed to the following
er dict :—That the deceased, John Mitchell, came to
his death abont eight-o'clock. on the night of the 15th
of September, 1854, in the toWnla.nd of Gargadis, in the
p'axish of Kilskerry, in the county of Tyrone, in con-
sequence of having been crushed between two en-
gines, which were drawing an excursion train pro.
coeding from Londonderry to Enniskillen, and which
engines were thrown off the line at Gargadis afore-
seiel, by coming in contact with several large stones,
in aliciously placed upon the line for that purpose,
fold by which the said Jobn Mitchell was thereby in-
stantaneously killed and murdered. And the jurors
afo:resaid do further say, that Hugh Harkin, John
' Manran, William Flanaghan, Rody Murphy,
William
Harkin, and Francis M'Mahon, did feloniously, wilfully,
anti maliciously conspire together to place said stones on
thee line, with intent to upset the said engines and car-
riages, and thereby to kill and murder those proceeding
by said train ; and the jurors aforesaid do further say,

ocuurred in Bonhill. Some parties had been in the house
of Mr. Nelson, spirit dealer and grocer, either drinking
or in want of drink, and instead of getting a pint of
'water, as asked, they had by mistake been handed a
bottle of caustic lye. It appears that the person who
got it swallowed nearly half a glassful before he detected
his error, and, in the greatest state of alarm and pain,
ran to Mr. M`Farlane.e dispensary, where an antidote
was speedily administered, and with beneficial results.
Tho case is in the hands of the police, and it is to be
hoped will be investigated with spirit.—North, British.

SENDING PAUPERS BACK TO ENGLAND.—The city of
Bt+ston has entered into a new forwarding business.
Four paupers were on Saturday last arraigned before a
justice in that city on a joint charge of being " foneign
pa upers, receiving aid from the city of Boston, against
the peace of the commonwealth, and contrary to law in
such cases made and provided." The charge of pau-
perism was sustained. and the Court ordered the .pri-
souers to be returned to the Queen of Great Britain.
They will be forwarded in the ship Star of the Empire,.
which leaves Boston in a day or two for Liverpool.—
