LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING.

By the Em;:ia, arrived at this port this evening, we
have received advices from Rio de Janeiro to the sth of
April, with late accounts from the River Plate. Ex-
change at Rio, 2811. It was reported at Rio that Oribe
had invaded the Brazilian territory, at the head of 5,000
men.

The following was posted in the underwriters' room
morning : _

" Rto, APRIL s.—Advices from Monte Video state
that a detachment of Oribe's forces had taken forcible
possession of a fort -lying on the Brazilian territory.
" Although this aggre,sion had, it was supposed, only
been made for the purpose of further stopping supplies
from being taken t•• the enemy, yet it was greatly feared
that a rupture would take place between the Brazilian
Government and Rosas.
" The differences with the American authorities at
Rio had been settled.

THE TRIPLE MURDER AT MIR-

FIELD.

FRIDAY.-17htTttdjourned inquest on the
bodies et Mr James Wraith, his wife, and Caroline
Ellis, their servant, who were so brutally murdered at
this village on the 12th inst., was resumed here in the
Methodist school room yesterdsy, before Mr. G. D.
Barker, deputy-coroner. The cold-blooded tragedy is
still enveleped in a great deal of mystery, although facts
seem gradually coming to light the tendency of which
is to strengthen and supply links in the chain of circum•
stances which originally led to the apprehension of the
' two Irishmen, Michael M`Cabe and Patrick Reid, who
are now in custody on suspicion of being the perpetra-
tors of the horrid butchery. It has previously been
mentioned that the key belonging to the back door of the
late Mr. Wraith's house, together with an instrument
called a soldering iron, used by plumbers and tinners,
had been fund at the bottom of a draw-well, a few
yards distant from the back door, which it will be re-
collecsed was locked when the three unfortunate persons
were discovered weltering in their blood. The soldering,
iron has not) et been identified by any person, nor has
it been shown that either of the prisoners have been seen
in the possession of such an instrument at any time.
There is no doubt, however, that it has been used as e
weapon in the destruction of the three unfortunate per-
sons, from the marks on their bodies, and also from the fact
that Mr. Wi st, of Leeds, analytical chemist, has been able to
trace animal matter adhering to the instrument, upon which
there were spots, supposed to be blood. Mr. West,
morever, has proved the presence of blood upon the
prisoners' coats, though at present he will not under-
take to say that it is human blood. Ile is still pursu
ing his iesestigation with regard to the marks found
on the garments of the prisoners, and other articles be-
longing to them which have been submitted to him. Ths
most important part of the evidence, in addition to that
of Mr. West, is as to the situation in which the two pri-
soners were semi when approaching Mr. Wraith's house,
and the time at which they were seen. They both admit
having been at the house on the day of the murder, but
it is mow proved that they were going along a short pri-
vate road leading to the house, and towards it, about
half-past to elve o'clock at noon, and there is a certainty
from other circumstances that the three persons were
murder d about that time, the usual dinner-hour in
Mirfield, and therefore the period when there would be
the least number of persons outside their houses. There
is also evidence of a quarrel having taken place some
some time previous to the murders between the prisoner
Reid and Caroline Ellis, owing to the prisoner charging
her with having taken a tea-caddy out of his basket when
at Mr. Wraith's house, and it also was proved that
when he left the house after Mr. Wraith had sent for the
constable, he threatened to take revenge at some future
time. There seems little doubt that a rubbery was com-
mitted by the murderers, as Mr. Wraith was seen in pos-
session of money the day before he was murdered, and
no money was afterwards found in the house. The pri •
soners, however, have not been proved to have been in
possession of money after the murder, and it is a some-
what singular, circumstance that M'Cabe, in the after-
noon of the 12th, asked an acquaintance to lend him a
trifling sum of money in order to enable him to com-
plete an order which he had obtained for pots and
glasses. It would be rather difficult to reconcile this
circumstance with the idea that M'Cabe was one of the
guilty parties,could it be proved that a robbery of money
to any extent had been committed, unless, indeed, by
supposing that the attempt to obtain the loan was a part
of a scheme invented to disarm suspicion.

A man's shirt, covered with blood, was found in a
privy in a small wood near Ravenswharf, about two
miles from Mr. Wraith's house, by a woman, on the af-
ternoon of the day on which the murders were com-
mitted, and before news had reached so far. The breast
of the shirt was much bespattered, and the sleeves were
the same, while the wristbands appeared as if they had
been steeped. The body of the shirt also bore marks as
it bloody hands had been wiped upon it. This garment
the woman showed to her neighbours; and, unfortu-
nately fur the ends of justice, one of them, in ignorance
of what had happened, and believing the marks to have
been produc,d by a far different cause, burnt the gar-
ment and thus rendered inquiry fruitless as to whether
it could have belonged to either of the prisoners charged,
or to any other person.
The scene of the murders still continues to be•visited
by large numbers of persons, who have been allowed to
see the house, and otherwise gratify their curiosity
touching the dreadful tragedy. The house is at present
occupit,d by Mr. Bvajamin Wraith, a nephew of the late
Mr. Wraith.

The prisoners, who have been removed from the
Dewsbury lock-up to the Wakefield House of Correc-
tion, in order to their safe keeping, were not present at
the adjourned inquiry.
The evidence was much the same as that adduced be-
fore the magistrates at Dewsbury on Saturday last.
Two of the witnesses said, that one or two scissors'
grinders were in the neighbourhood in which Mr.
Wraith's house is situate about noon on the 12th instant,
but there is no reason whatever for supposing that they
were connected in any way with the dark deed with
which the two prisoners are charged, and that, after the
minute investigations which the police have made, the
prisoners are the only parties on whom suspicion rests.
As the inquiry is still further adjourned, and the princi-
pal new facts developed aro stated above, we shall not
give the examination of the witnesses, except those of
the two following:—
Mr. W. West, F.R.S., analytical chemist, of Leeds,
stated—On the 14th of May I received certain articles
from Mr. Green, superintendent of police. They were
a dark green coat, a pair of fustian trousers, a pair of
stockings, and a pair of shoes. I have subsequently
received other articles, namely, a brown coat, a basket, a
piece of paper, a sack, a soldering-iron, with a handle
and key. There were several marks on the dark green
coat which had to the eye more or less of the appearance
of dried blood. I cut out several portions, and sub-
mitted them to a variety of experiments. Some of the
marks showed no chemical signs of having arisen from
blood; others I am perfectly convinced were marks of
blood. (Mr. West here pointed out remaining portions
of some marks on the green coat which he had found to
be blood, and also portions of which he had found not to
be blood.) I think, upon the whole, I found five spots
which proved clearly to be blood. As far as I recollect,
they were all on the right lap of the coat. On the
left sleeve of the brown coat I found one spot which
I proved to be of blood. It was a small spot, but
I have no doubt of its nature. I have not found
satisfactory proof of blood upon any of the other
garments which I received from Mr. Green. On
tho key which I received I find clear proof,
by several experiments, of the presence of animal
matter. On the soldering iron I find proof of the pre-
sence of animal matter. and also on the handle; and I
have established to my own satisfaction that that animal
matter is fibrin. Fibrin is the principal portion of
muscle or flesh, and also of that portion of blood which
after coagulation resists solution in water. I wish to de-
cline at present to give an opinion as to whether
the blood un the garments is human blood, though I
may at a future day be able to decide positively on that
point. I consider the presence of blood upon both the
coats, and the animal matter upon the two instruments,
to be of the nature of a tact rather than of an opinion,
and I wish to avoid, if possible, mixing up in my own
mind what does not come further than an opinion with
a fact. There was a small speck on the handle of the
basket, which I proved to be blood. I wish to reserve
my opinion as to the paper at present, but I intend to
to pursue my investigations further. The blood spots
on the green coat in the state in which I received it did
show very clearly, and I think do so still, that they were
not from wipes or smears, but from splashes or jets. I
would not undertake to speak precisely as to the number
of days which the blood-marks had been upon the green
coat, but in my opinion the marks had been on only a
few days. I found no chemical proof of blood upon the
stockings.
Benjamin Morton, of Nab-lane, Mirfield, hawker,
stated—l have known Michael M'Cabe and Patrick Reid
about twelve mouths by sight, but only a few months
by name. On the 12th of May, on the day this murder
was committed, I saw Patrick Reid, about one o'clock,
near to Mr. Wraith's house. I was going down Water
Royd lane, and when I had got near Mr. Garside's
house, which is in the lane, I saw Patrick Reid at James

Ile looked to be walking. He had his basket on his
arm. I did not see where he went to, but lam quite
sure it was he, from the dress he had on. I saw
Michael M'Cabe first, and Petrick et the same time. I
saw them both at the same time. M'Cabe was on the
road leading to Mr. Wraith's house. He was about ten
yards from John Mainnell's garden, in the private road
leading towards Mr. Wraith's house. It would be half
way between Water Royd-lane and Mr. Wraith's house,
I should suppose, but 1 have never been that road.—
[llere, at the request of the coroner, the witness went,
in company with Mr. Clapham, surveyor, and Superin-
tendent Green, to point out the place where he saw
M'Cabe, and to ascertain the distance the prisoner had
gone from Water Royd-lane in the direction of Mr.
Wraith's house. On the witness's return he stated as
follows] :—M'Cabe, at the time I saw him, was going to-
wards Mr. Wraith's house. I have point, d out the place
to Mr. Clapham, the surveyor,where I saw M'Cabe at first.
It is about 58 yards from Water Royd-lane. M'Cabe had
a basket with some pots in it. There was a smart shower
of rain came within a few minutes after I saw the two
prisoners, and I went forward. I did not see them join
each other. I had not seen Reid and M'Cabe so nearly
together before that day. I knew them both well, and
Reid especially, because I had a strong argument with
him lag summer on the Roman Catholic system. I
know M'Cabe from having met him when hawking, and
I have several times spoken to him. I am sure they
were the two men I saw in this lane. I have shown Mr.
Clapham the place where I saw Reid. The usual dinner-
hour in Mirfield is from half-past twelve to one o'clock.
I did not see either M'Cabe or Reid in Water Royd-lane
on the 12th, nor did I see them before I saw them in the
private road.
Charles Flint, of Robert Town, Liversedge, labourer,

stated—l recollect the 12th of May. I got home about
three o'clock in the afternoon of that day. Michael
M'Cabe was in my house when I got home. I heard of
the murders at Mirfield as I was going home, and I
asked my housekeeper, Mary Scorey, if she had heard
anything about the murders at Mr. Wraith's house. She
said she had not heard anything about it. M'Cabe heard
this, and said there was nothing so sure, and that he had
been at the place. I asked him what he had seen? He
said he rapp.-d at the door, and heard a footstep on the
stairs; that there wai a good like young fellow came and
opened th•- door; that he (M'Cabe) asked him if he
wanted anything in the pot line? and that he said
" No, sir;" that he asked him again, and got
no answer, and that the man then shut the kitchen
door. I asked M•Cabe if he had seen nothing? and he
said, " Yes, lots of blood behind the kitchen door." I
asked him if he knew the person who came to the door?
and he said he did not, but that he could not tell the
person again. I said, " Was it not t'old master, think

ye ?" and he said "No, lam certain it was not." I
asked him if he had heard any groans, and he said
" Yes, some very heavy groans indeed." lie said he
left Mr. Wraith's house with his basket on his head,
called at John M'Kimpell's, and asked him if he wanted
some pots, and he said that he did not want any. I then
asked him if he came direct to Robert Town, and he
never spoke. I asked him if he had mentioned what he
had seen to any one ? and he said, " No, not to any
one." Nothing more Ras said except that he wanted to
borrow some money from me to buy some pots with.
William Sheard came to my house about four o'clock,
and between four and five M'Cahe and he talked to-
gether about this murder, but I did not hear the con-
versation. I afterwards got Sheard to come to Mirfield
and state what M'Cabe had said he had seen at Mr.
Wraith's house.

William Sheard, of Robert Town, Liversedge, kawker,
stated, on the 12th of May I went to the last witness's
house. It was about half-past four o'clock when I got
there, as near as I can tell. I saw Michael M'Cabe
there, and had some conversation with him after he
came down stairs. I told him I had been informed
that he had been at the place where the murder had
happened, and he said he had. I asked him which way
he went to the house, and he said, " Down the fields,
opposite Mr. Wraith's house." He said, " When I
got into the yard the shutters were closed and the
blinds were down." [The witness gave an account
of what M'Cabe told him he had seen, which did not
differ in the slightest degree from the conversation de-
tailed by Charles Flint.] The witness then proceeded:
—I asked M'Cabe where he thought the blood came
from which he had seen at the back of the door? and he
said, " I thought the old man had been killing a hen:"
I then asked him if he heard anything? and he said
" Yes, dreadful groans." I asked him what he thought
the groans came from ; and he said "I thought the old
woman was poorly." I asked him if the man who came
to the door was not old Mr. Wraith? and he replied.
" No." He then told me that after leaving Mr. Wraith's
he went to John Miiinnell's, then called at a cottage
house, where he gathered a few rags, and then he went
to Flint's. That is all M'Cabe said about the case, and
when he had said this I said to him, "If Mr. Ingham
knew what you have told me he would certainly send for
you, as they would want information." My brother-in-
law, Charles Flint, told me, in M'Cabe's hearing, to put
the saddle upon the galloway, and go to tell Mr. Ing-
ham. Al‘Cabe never spoke at that time, and I said, "I,
do not like to go, for it is a very serious job to go about.
M'Cabe then said, " Don't go, Bill ;
I am going down
to the Shoulder of Mutton, and I can declare it myself."
Without speaking again to him, I put the saddle on the
galloway, and came to Mirfield, where I gave informa-
tion to Mr. Howarth. I and M'Cabe never had any
dealings together. lam quite sure that M'Cabe men-
tioned both the shutters and the blinds.
At the conclusion of the last witness's examination,
the CORONER, addressing the jury, said—Gentlemen, I
believe we have now examined all the evidence that can
be adduced to-day, but it is very important that further
time should be given for inquiry, because the publicity
that has been given to-day to the situation in which the
prisoners have been seen will be very important and
very beneficial in inducing other parties to supply links
which are very desirable in the train of evidence which
we now have, and, therefore, I feel it my duty to ad-
journ the inquiry to a future day, and I propose to
adjourn it until this day fortnight ; and if any further
evidence can, as I hope it will, be procured within the
time, I have no doubt it will be produced, and then,
having all the evidence that in all probability can be
produced, it will be your duty to give it that serious at-
tention which the case requires, and to return a verdict
upon it. But I shall not feel justified in putting the
case to you at present, because I think it possible and
probable that other evidence will be adduced between
this time and the day I have mentioned for the ad-
journment. Therefore, gentlemen, I propose to adjourn
this inquiry until this day fortnight, which is the 10th of
June.

The inquest was; then formally adjourned to 11 o'clock
in the forenoon of the day menti,ined by the Coroner, to
be resumed at the same place, and the jury were bound
in recognizances to attend.

AWFUL AND COLD-BLOODED
MURDER.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
ROTHERHAM, FRIDAY.—The quiet town of Rother-
ham has to-day been thrown into a state of great excite-
ment by the perpetration of an atrocious murder, which
has been committed this forenoon, between ten and
eleven o'clock, on the turnpike-road leading from Ro-
therham to Rawmarsh, a village about two miles off, on
a woman who was passing on the road.
From inquiries made on the spot, it appears that
Samuel Linley, a joiner, left his lodgings at the Four-
lane-ends, near Rawmarsh, between ten and eleven, and
was proceeding to the Park-gate Iron Works, belonging
to Messrs. Scholefield and Co., to his work, about three
hundred yards off. He had not gone far before he met
tne deceased, Susannah Jagger, the wife of Benjamin
Jagger, of Alasborough-common, shopkeeper, who was
quite a stranger to him, going to Rawmarsh with some
groceries. Linley held out his hand to the deceased, and
asked her to shake hands; she refused, and passed him.
He turned round, followed her, and struck her with his
fist over the back of her head, knocked her down, and
got upon her, and when she attempted to rise he struck
her several severe blows on the head. He then got her
shoulders between his knees, and kept beating her. She
screamed out, and some persons who reside near and
were passing ran to her assistance ; but before they
could get to the place, Linley was seen to take a clasp
knife out of his waistcoat pocket, open it, and cut the
woman's throat on its right side.
Joshua Steward, of Rotherham, a co* keeper, who
was passing, and saw Linley commence his attack on the
woman, ran to them, and when he got up the ruffian was
cutting at the woman's throat with the knife; he did not
oven desist when Steward got there, but the latter pulled
him off the woman, and some other persons coming to
the place the marl was secured, and the knife taken from
him. The poor woman was bleeding profusely, the
assassin having separated the jugular vein. Medical aid
was immediately sent for, but long before any could
arrive the poor woman had breathed her last, she having
died a few minutes after receiving the injuries. Linley
on being asked why he did it, replied, " I have made a
bad job of it," and that drink had done it. He was not,
however, drunk at the time, but had been drinking for
some days previous.

The murder having

AWFUL ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
(
a7orlidniensaoryr• )aettsetemrpdtaY.
A shocking was made
yesterday (Thursday) morning, by an old woman in
flultne, to murder her son-in-law, while asleep in bed,
by cutting his throat. The name of the woman is Eliza
beth Jackson, and her daughter and son-in-law, Thomas
Royle, lived with her, at No. 43, Caton-street, Hulme.
Jackson is a married woman, but separated from her
husband. She slept in the same room with her son-in-
law and daughter, and at an early hour went to the bed-
side of the young couple, who have only been married
nine mo,,ths, and leaning over the body of the daughter,
with a large table knife cut the throat of Royle, who
lay next to the wall, and who, as well as his wife, was
fast asleep. Fortunately the knife was not very sharp,
and the young man was awoke by its passing across his
throat before a sufficiently deep incision had been effected
to prove fatal. Ile put out his hand to save himself,
when the end of one of his fingers was nearly cut off,
and he then sprang out of bed, and ran into an adjoining
house for help.
The prisoner, in the course of yesterday morning, was
brought up for examination at the Borough Court, when
the following evidence was given:—
Thomas Royle said he was the prisoner's son-in-law,
having married her daughter in October last. The
prisoner slept in the same room with him and his wife.
The prisoner went to bed first on Wednesday night,
about ten o'clock, and he mud ois wit, followed shortly
after. No ill-words or quarrel had taken place, but
they had all been comfortable; that (Thursday) morn-
ing, shortly before six o'clock, he was awoke by feeling
something drawn across his throat, and on looking up,
saw the prisoner leaning over the bed with the knife now
produced in Court in her grasp, which she was drawing
backwards and forwards across his throat. His wife
was asleep. He immediately seized hold of the prisoner's
hand, and called upon his wife, but the prisoner did not
desist. She struggled with him and cut one of his
fingers while he was attempting to keep the knife from
his throat. He then jumped out of bed, and escaped
from the house.
Ellen Thompson, the next witness, stated that she
lived at 55, Clarendon-street. She said Royle (the pro-
secutor) came running to their door, and asked if they
could find a policeman? He was bleeding profusely
from a wound in the neck, and stated that his mother-in-
law had been attempting to cut his throat.
William Court, a police officer, stated that he was
called in by the last witness, and went to the prisoner's
house, when he found her sitting by the bed-side. lle
told her what she was charged with, and took her into
custody. She accompanied him willingly, merely ob-
serving, " Very well, take your time, and I'll come with
you.
Superintendent Taylor said when he saw the prisoner
he cautioned her of the use that might be made of any
confession, and then asked if she had any voluntary
statement she wished to make. She answered, " I
hardly know what I'm doing, I'm sure, for all sides; for
gethe only wants to my property from me, and won't
wait till my death."
The knife produced in court was very blunt, but of
large size, and the wound inflicted on Royle's throat
was from two to three inches in length, but not very
deep. The surgeon, Mr. J. Foster, Medlack-street, who
had examined the wound, was not present, and ultimately
the case was remanded, that his evidence might be ob-
tained.

FALLING OF THE -DEE SUSPEN-

SION BRIDGE.

CHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING, FIVE O'CLOCK. This
morning, at ten o'clock, the inquest, opened on Tuesday
by Mr. Hostage, the city coroner, respecting the late
appalling accident on tbe Chester and Holyhead Rail-
way, was resumed at the Exchange, Sir E. S. Walker,
Knt., acting as foreman of the jury.
The unfortunate sufferers, the subject of the inquiry,
were John Matthews, a passenger, of Llangollen, Mr.
Charles Nevitt, passenger for Wrexham, Mr. Isaac
Jones, passenger, of Wrexham (who died in the in-
firmary on Wednesday afternoon, and since tbe last
meeting of the jury), George Roberts, guard, and
Thomas-Anderson, the stoker. Evidence descriptive of
the accident, but which offered nothing beyond what has
already appeared, having been given,
Mr. Thomas Alfred Garrow, who was selected by the
coroner and jury to examine the bridge, was next called
—I have been a civil engineer for the last twelve years.
I have held the appointment of Bridgemaster for Chester
for some time, and have no connexion at present with
any railway. I have made the construction of bridges
my entire study. I have made an examination of the
railway bridge over the Dee, and I now read my report
of the inspection. Upon examining the bridge I found
that the masonry and stonework, with the exception
of that part of each which has fallen, were in
an apparently sound state. The principle of the
bridge is that of trussed girders of cast metal, rest-
ing upon stone piers and abutments, which are parallel
to the course of the river, but askew to the railway
above. Each girder consists of three pieces, having ver-
tical flanges, with bolts at the joints, and in addition to
being bolted to the full depth of girder, each joint is sur-
mounted by a segmental piece, to receive which notches
have been cast in the upper surface of the girder. The
tension-rods descend in an oblique direction to each joint,
and are carried horizontally between them; they consist
of separate bars of wrought iron, which are secured to
each other laterally by clips. The portion of the bridge
which has fallen consists of one outside girder on the
Salteney side of the river, with the attached platform
and transverse tension-rods. The stones composing part
of the string course, and acting as a bed for the girder
on the Salteney abutment, have fallen, and also the
corner-stone at the acute angle of the oppcsite river
pier, upon which the broken girder rested. The
girder itself is broken, as shown on the accompanying
drawing, having two fractures in the length next to
the Salteney abutment, and one in its centre. Having
premised this short description of the construction
of the bridge and its present appearance, I may pro-
ceed to detail the facts and data which have arisen
during my investigation, and which have enabled me to
arrive at a confident conclusion as to the cause of the
accident. My attention was in the first instance directed
to an examinatien of the fractured ends of the girder, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether any defect had ex-
isted in the castings. The appearance of the broken
surface led me to conclude that the castings had been
sound, and the tension bars, as far as they have yet been
recovered from the water, are unbroken. From calcu-
lations which I have made of the strength of the girders,
taken from an actual measurement of the section at the
point of fracture, I find that independent of any addi-
tional strength that may be obtained from the tension
bars, the girders alone are capable of sustaining a much
greater weight than could, under any ordinary circum-
stances, be placed upon them. The breaking weight of
each girder I calculate as 74 tons, supposing the weight
to be concentrated over one point and both girders 148
tons. But it is an admitted principle that a beam will
carry twice the weight distributed over its whole surface
that it will bear upon one point. We can, therefore,
conclude, that twice the above weight, 148 multiplied
by 2, is equal to 296 tons, is the breaking weight of one
bay or opening of the bridge for one line of rails. The
weight of girders and platform is, at a rough calcu-
lation, about 90 tons, which must be deducted
from the foregoing quantity ; we have, therefore,
296 less 90 equal 206 tons, as the breaking
weight ; and this is altogether without reference
to the tension bars. From the above-facts I concluded
that the accident did not arise from the breaking of the
girdef as a primary cause • and I therefore directed my
attention to the state of the masonry, and to a considera-
tion of its sustaining power. Having carefully examined
all the displaced stones, and their respective beds, I
found that one previously named as forming the acute
angle of the river pier, and upon which one end of the
broken girder rested, to be totally inadequate in its form
and bearing surface to its important situation. This
stone had sustained nearly I of that portion of the flange
of the girder which rested upon the piece. The area of
its lower surface is 24 feet' 6 inches, of which 11 feet 6
inches only was bedded on the pier, leaving 13 feet to
overhang as a cornice. The stone was not connected by
cramps or ties with the adjoining. masonry of the pier.
The railway over the whole bridge is curved. The
broken girder supporting the outer side, and being sub-
ject to a greater lateral force than the girders forming
the inside radius of the curve, I consider that this lateral
force, acting during the passage of each train, must
have so far loosened the inefficient masonry as to cause
a displacement of the girder itself 'and its consequent
fracture.
By the CORONER—If I had had the management of
the bridge, I certainly should have had a greater strength
of masonry round the girder. Considerable vibration
would be likely to disturb the masonry. I tried the de-
flexion of the arch opposite the third. Had an engine
and loaded ballast waggons, in weight about fifty tons,
pass over it, and the deflexion was about an inch and a
third.

The jury put to him a number of scientific questions,
relating to the construction of the bridge, all of which
he answered in a very able manner. They fully bore out
his previous conclusion.
Mr. Robert Board, superintendent of the Mausley Iron
Works, was then sworn. The girders of the Chest&
Railway bridge, over the Dee, were manufactured at
those works. They were tested before sent to the rail-
way. Each girder was placed side by side, and tested
by fifty tons of iron being put on them in the centre;
Wo took the deflexion on every five tons. Had not got'
the particulars of those deflexions.
CORONER—Are you aware of the ordinary pressure on
the girders by a train passing over them? Witness—lt
would not exceed fifty tons.
Examination continued—After the girders had been
tested we found a flaw in one of them; it was a mere
honey cake, and it was rectified before it was sent away.
I have since examined the girder, and found that the
accident had not resulted from the flaw. The fractures
were in the sound metal. I superintended the fixing
of the girders. There are many railway bridges of the
same kind. On the Trent Valley line there are eight of
the kind ; it is not opened to the public as yet ; but on
the B:ackwall Railway there are several that have had
heavy trains passing over them for years. The one over
the Dee is the largest. Never heard of any of thorn
giving way. Had been on several lines to view the bridge
when trains were passing over it, and found the deflec--
tion very trivial, not much more than an inch. Had heard
that it was considerable.
Mr. Tyrell said, as there seemed to have been a feel-
ing to the Chester and Shrewsbury Rail way,and probably
the gentlemen who represented that company would
state whether they had received any communication to
that effect.
The CORONER remarked, most certainly that notions
had prevailed for some time that the bridge was unsafe.
He did not know from whence they emanated, but it was
a well-known fact that many had declined to cross it.
He had laboured under the impression, and had not
risked himself on it.

Sir E. Walker said he had also participated in the
feeling. On the opening day he had an invitation ticket
presented him, but many persons telling him not to trust
himself upon the bridge, as it was dangerous, he had not
dared to venture on it.

Mr. Lee, clerk of the works of the Chester and Holy-
herd Railway, said—l superintended the construction of
the bridge. The abutments on the Salteney side are
piled for a foundation. Upon the piles were placed a
strong flooring of timber, and upon that platform we
built the abutment of Ashlar-stono facings, ten feet in
thickness. The piers are built on hard clay. The wit-
ness then went into a lengthened detail of the construc-
tion of the bridge, and described the materials as of the
most sound description.
By the CORONER—Believes the accident had bees
caused by a lateral blow, such a blow as the tender
striking the girder might produce; but it is difficult to
say. The breaking of the girder would cause the fall of
masonry. Never had any complaint as to the insecurity
of the bridge. Believed it to have been perfectly safe.
Tested the deflexion of the bridge before and since the
accident, and found it to range from an inch to an inch
and three-eighths. Did not try it before the accident
in consequence of anything he had heard.
Mr. Tyrell—l believe you have seen three-coupled
engines pass over the bridge ? Witness—l have so.
The weight of which, with the tenders, exceeded 100
tons. It was about the-weight of any train that could
travel over it.

After some considerable discussion the jury agreed to
postpone the taking of Mr. Stephenson's evidence until
the Government officers had given their opinion as to
the cause of the accident.

At five o'clock the proceedings were adjourned, the
Coroner being directed to summon General Pasley and
the other inspectors.

LINCOLN, MAT 28.—The City Crier is just now
going round with his bell to announce to the inhabitants
that the price of wheat has fallen full 15e., 165., and 17s.
a quarter since last Friday, the market-day, and in
consequence flour will be cheaper. The writer of this
heard a farmer say he never saw such a market in his
life—all sellers, but no buyers. Samples of wheat—
white and red—in great abundance were shown ; the
weather hot and sunny.— A Correspondent, in haste.
GREAT FALL IN THE PRICE OF WHEAT.—At
Uxbridge market (one of the largest in the vicinity of
London), on Thursday last, the price of wheat fell 3/.
per load, taking the average prices which were obtained
at the previous market day. At this reduction not so
many sales were effected as might have been expected ;
the buyers holding back in the expectation that a con-
siderable further reduction will take place next week.
A great fall also took place at Maidenhead market on
the previous day. The present splendid weather has
had a very material effect in keeping down the prices.
The growing crops throughout the counties of Berks
and Bucks appear to be in a most flourishing state. A
most abundant harvest is generally predicted.
ANOTHER FALL IN TEE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yes-
terday evening the bakers throughout the metropolis
reduced the price of the 41bs. loaf fd. The best bread
at the west-end is now charged Is. Ofd., second rate 11d.
and 10fd.• in many parts it is only 10d.; and the League
bread 90'. per 4lbs. loaf, weighed on delivery, and good
wholesome quality.
At a Pension of the Hon. Society of Gray's Inn,
holden on Wednesday, the 26th instant, Mr. W. D.
Lewis was appointed to the Lectureship, established by
that society, on real property and conveyancing devises
and bequests.

ters of the same description of grain. It will be seen
that this list of two days' arrivals comprises a very con-
siderable quantity of grain and all sorts of provisions,
the influx of which at the press at time must have its due
weight in the markets and in assisting to reduce the
present price of food. Every privilege that it is possi-
ble to concede in order to land these provisions from .
the importing vessels, and bring them into consumption
without the least delay, is given by the revenue
authorities, who are evidently most desirous, as an im-
portant and executive portion of the Government, espe-
cially in relation to this particular subject, to render
every practicable assistance in the case, to which end,
as yesterday was a general holiday and business was
suspended, special permission was, at the request of the
Parties interested and concerned, granted for the re-
quisite attendance ef a portion of the officers of the
revenue, in order to facilitate the admission of these
articles of food.

EXPORTATION OF CORX.--The Commissioners of
the Customs have issued directions to the collectors and
comptrollers, and other principal officers cf the revenue
at the several ports throughout the kingdom, to prepare
and transmit to the Inspector• General of Imports and
Exports, immediately after the t•rmination of each week,
until further orders, commencing with the week ended
Wednesday, the 7th of April last, the undermentioned
accounts, according to an approved form, copy of which
is subjoined; so far as the same relates to their respec-
tive ports; viz., an account of the quantities of corn,
grain, meal, and flour exported in the week; it being
understood that the monthly return required by the
order issued by the Commissioners in the month of
March is still to be transmitted in the same form as
heretofore. The weekly return alluded to, which is to be
transmitted to the Inspector-General of Imports and Ex-
ports, immediately atter the termination of each week,
being " an account (from each port in the United King-
dom) of the qu ilities of corn, grain, meal, and flour
exported in the week ended Wednesday afternoon,
the —," and is to include the following parti-
culars:-Ist, the quantities of corn and grain,
viz., wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas, beans, Indian
corn, or maize, buck-wheat, bere or biggs, and malt;
and, 2d, meal and flour, viz., wheatmeal arid flour,
barleymeal, oatmeal, r)emeal, and flour, peameal, bean-
meal, Indian cornmeal, and buck-wheatmeal; the former
being returned according to measure of quarters and
bushels, and the latter by weight. The return is to
specify the quantities exported in the week to foreign
countries or British possessions; and is to comprise,
separately and distinctly-1. foreign, either from the
warehouse or otherwise; 2. British and Irish produce;
and 3, a compendium of the two, forming a total of the
quantity exported in each v‘e,,k. This return will be of
much interest and importance at the present time, as
showing the exact quantity of grain sent from the
country, either of home growth or of that which has
been p'-eviously imported from abroad, and purchased
by and reshipped to other of the foreign states, especially
when several Members of the Legislature are anxiously
advising the Prime Minister to follow the example of
some of the continental states—great producers, and
usually exporters of corn—and prohibit the exportation
of these articles of food until the autumn, or the return
