In consequence of the crow, _ Ne wgate,
-1.30 convicts have been removed durizz the session to
elate Millbank Penitentiary, es a ttnaporary.dotnicile,
prepavatory to the final disposal of- them by Govern-
ment.-- It is not intended that those for seven sears
should be' sent beyond the sea, but to the different
hulks and other prisons, where they can be put to
beneficial employment. These for above that period
will, some of them, be drafted to the Model Prison,
Pentonville, where they will be taught a trade:; and
should their behaviour be of a Fatistgetory nature,
some of them will _ be sent to Australia or New Zea-
land as free convicts, where the Government will
provide means to place them on a level with the erL-
grants. Their names and periods of expatriation are

ALARINTING RIOT AT BEITH.
On Thursday morning a riot broke out among the
miners and colliers in this district, which at onetime
threatened very serious consequences, but which, we.
are glad to state, has been put down without loss of
life. It appears that the colliers in this district have
been standing still some time, in consequence of the
strike which took place a short time ago, on the
resolution of the masters to reduce the wages
from is. to 4s. a day. The masters, finding that
the men would not resume work except at the
old rates, have been engaging new hands in
their places, which caused much excitement and
indignation amongst their old hands. Eveiything
however, went on peaceably until Thursday morning,
when, on several of the " nobs,' as the new men are
termed'
by the strike hands, leaving Beith for the
Glengarnock coal-pits, where they were employed,
they were attacked at Langburn' near the incline
bridge, by about forty of the old hands, and after a
fight, which- lasted for a considerable time, were
compelled to ...betake themselves to flight, but not
oefore some of, them received serious injuries. One
young man, in retreating, fell, and was overtaken
oy the other party, who attacked him in the most
terocion; manner, breaking his arm in two places, and
leaving him for dead on the ground. Another
man, not satisfied with this, gave him a severe
blow on the head with a bludgeon, which cut his
head open, and left him senseless. The poor fellow
was afterwards taken home to his mother's house in
13eith, where he still lies in a very precarious con-
dition. Another young man had his arm severely
injured by a blow, as he says, of a hammer; and the
man by whom he was struck is known, and no doubt
will be apprehended, and receive the just punishment
for such conduct. The party afterwards dispersed
across the country. As soon as the news of the out-
break reached Mr. Jack, the manager at the Kil-
bernie Iron Works, he set off for Beith, accompanied
by Mr. Gray, the underground manager, and on
his arrival he had a consultation with the Sheriff
of Ayr, which resulted in a determination to call
out the yeomanry cavalry in support of the civil
authorities. As Mr. Jack and Mr. Gray were proceed-
ing from Beith to Dairy they were met by a strong
gang of the " turn-outs," who had previously as-
saulted and much ill-used Peter Hutchinson, the
Dairy policeman, and rescued a prisoner. Had they
not been mounted, there is little doubt but that they
would have fallen a sacrifice to the lawless mob,
but they put spurs to their horses and galloped
.off,
escaping without any serious injury. Greati deixsctrit excite-

FATAL COLLISION ON THE SOUTH-NV ISTERN
RAILWAY.-00 Saturday moaning, about four o'clock, sy
collision occurred between the up mail train and a pots.-
don of the goods train, which resulted in the destruction
of three or four of the trucks of the goods train, and the
loss of life of one of the guards of that train. The oc-
currence took place about 300 yardi on the London side
of the Wimbledon station. A. fog prevailed at the time,
and it appears that the up goods train, due at Nine Elms
terminus between three and four o'clock, had, when it
arrived at the above spot, been stopped by an accident.
The carriages came uncoupled, the engine proceeding
on with about three-fourths of the train, and leaving
nine or ten trucks or vans behind. It is said that the en-
gine-driver proceeded straight to Nine Elms before the
fact was noticed, while another statement is, that thosecar-
riages were necessarily left behind, the engine not
having sufficient power to propel the entire train. In
one of those left behind was one of the guards, named
W. Sawyer, who is supposed to have been asleep. At
nearly four o'clock, the Metropolitan police on duty
near the railway heard a loud crash in the direction of
the line, followed by shrieks and cries of human beings.
Sergeant Golding, 30 V, and a body of constables were
soon on the spot, and having roused up the station,
agent, policeman, and porter, who were in bed, they
hastened to the scene of the accident, when it vali
found that the up mail train, which consisted a nino
carriages, propelled by the Hornet, a very powerful en-
gine, had run in upon the vans and trucks with such
velocity and force, so as to almost double up and crush
in the end and two following ones, and strew the line
with fragments. Neither the Hornet engine; the driver,
the fireman, nor the guards and Passengers were, sin-
gular to state, injured; but on the vans and trucks being
searched by Mr. Bradford (tho agent), .the guard,
(William Sawyer) was found double against a chest,
with a load of goods bearing him down. The poor
fellow had evidently made desperate struggles to ex-
tricate himself, but was unable to do so, and was
crushed to death. The body was removed ,to the Dog
and Hare, Wimbledon, to await an inquest. The de-
ceased had been a guard about twelve months, and was
twenty years of age.
The Dowager Countess of Verulam and. the
Dowager Countess of Caledon arrived at Caledon-hill
last week. It is expected that Lord and Lady Caledon
will have a visit very shortly from their noble relatives,
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the
Countess of
Glaroutions—Vanner of //liter.
