place, and Wellington-place, towards the boundary of
the city royalty, at the junction of Holburn•street with
Cuparston-place. The royal progress through the city
will be attended by the Provost and Magistrates, the
Lord-Lieutenant and Sheriff of the county, the Members
of Parliament for the city and county, and a royal
guard of honour. The city portion of the royal route
will be lined with special constables, and it is probable
that the incorporated trades will also, in their united
capacity, take steps to manifest their loyalty, though the
precise manner in which they will do so does not yet ap-
pear. The workmen about the docks and harbour-works
have been sworn in as special constables."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The betting on all the minor events to come off at
Doncaster was on too small a scale to require one word
of observation. We may, therefore, pass at once to the
Great St. Leger, now, if we take our text from the quo-
tations, brought within a very narrow compass. Through-
out the day Canezou was backed freely at 2 to 1, and her
friends were anxious enough to go on. at the same figure;
the commission appeared to be unlimited. The three
next favourites averaged 4 to 1 each, until within half
an hour of the close; the Justice to Ireland party then
came out in earnest, and a large sum was invested at 4
to 1, 7 to 2, and 3 to:1, the latter odds being finally offered.
This move left Flateatcher and Surplice almost friendless,
the odds given underneath being offered currently; Sur-
plice, in fact, was only nominally in the betting. The
Cesarewitch transactions were few and unimportant.

THE GREAT ROWINGAQUATICS MATCH BETWEEN

WORCESTER AND MANCIIESTEI.
WORCESTER, TITURSDAY.—This event, which has been
the cause of considerable speculation of late in the aquatic
world, came off last evening on the river Severn, in the
neighbourhood of Worcester.
This match was got up shortly after the Worcester
Regatta, held about five weeks ago. The rivals ea ere the
Manchester Shakspere Club, and the Worcester Intrepid
Club. Both of these clubs having been victorious in
their own locality over all the local crews, the question
of their relative merits was canvassed, and each having
their friends, a match was got up for a four-oared race
between them, the conditions being a stake of 50/. a-
side, the course three miles down stream. No boat be-
ing allowed to cross into the other's water unless 50
feet clear ahead, the Worcester crow to give the Man-
chester 10/. to meet them at Worcester. The eve nt was
fixed for yesterday, and both crews went into severe
training. The Manchester four arrived in Worse iter on
this day week, and were at work on the river on the
evening of' their arrival. Both crews were t etched
narrowly, and each having their backers, a great deal of
money was laid out in'bets, though as the eventrul day
approached the Manchester men had the call.
The course was from a point below Bever°. Island
down to Worcester-bridge. At a quarter-pa st five
o'clock the rival boats took their stations, neat coned as
under:—
Shakspere (liatchester) Club—(Pink) I—Strolec, Mr.
Wood ;. 2, Mr. IL Ault; 3, Mr. •M`Cormack; b orw, Mr.
G. Collinge.
Intrepid (Worcester) Club—(Purple) 2—Stri filee, Mr.
Presder ; 2, Mr. Laurence; 3, Mr. Turley; bow, tv Er. Till.
The Manchester men were steered by a youeth, and
the Intrepid by Maynard, of London. Both ire Jived in
beautiful outrigger boats, and each appeared In good
trim, and confident-Of success. Betting, at sta sting, was
3 to 2 in favour of the Munehester, who were expected
to win, though a very close struggle was antic ipated.
After one false start, both boats were pr eety fiiirly
under way, arid it was at once perceptible that the Man-
chester men had the best of the start, the Int! fepid losing
ground before they got into their regular s wing. The
Manchester men rowed beautifully together, tut the In-
trepid seemed flurried in getting off. The Int/ •epid, being
goaded on by their frieeds, who accompanies', the race in
large numbers, set-to with a will, and mac( 'eded in bet-
tering their condition, though it was soon after evident
that they 'had already lost the race, their -efforts
tellin
fearfully upon them, while their rivals pt tiled steadily
and with uniform strength. At the end of two miles,
Manchester led by five heath' lengths; and they kept their
position to within 200 yards of the goal, wizen the In-
trepid crew gave in.
The distance, was accomplished in cirghtcen minutes,
with a slow current.

next. After the evidence of M'Culltim, the. deceased's 1/
valet, Mr. Titchburn, an accountant"at Wolierliwairkon;
who was a passenger by the express train,: deposed 44l 'p
velocity at which the train was goitigi at the tihit, a¢
aceident, and said the occurrence was expected before it .--
took place. The pace was tremendous, and he attributed . -
the upset to the speed, which was a thing of frequent
occurrence with that express. The following evidence
was then given :
Mr. Richard Stuart Norris, Warwick, resident engi. ,
neer and out-door superintendent of the northern divi- ..
sien of the London and North-Western Railway,
said he was called up between one and two o'clock on .'
Sunday morning. Got an engine, waggon, and tools,
and went to the scene of the accident, which he reached

shortly after four o'clock. lie proceeded to describe
the position in which he found the carriages and engines,
as remarked upon by former witnesses. After looking
after the engines and carriages, he examined
the rails. On the down line, thirty or forty feet
from the guard's van, three lengths of both rails were
bent and torn up. Followed the track for nearly 100
yards. About 140 feet from the guard's van, the west
rail of the up line was more or less torn and cut, just as
if it had been done with a pair of shears. They were
also displaced. Two or three lengths of rail then inter-
vened which were undisturbed and uninjured, and then
from that point three or four lengths of rail were torn
upland very much bent. The bent rails were lying
under the engine, as though they had been torn up by
the front part of it. From this point to a distance of
about thirty yards, perhaps, the rail was very little
dalna,ged. This referred to the west rail of the up line.
There was a mark in the ballast (which is the technical
nape for the gravel put between the rails), as of
carriage wheels, between the rails of the up line, and
also on the outside of the west rail. Commencing
atitbe engine, this track was about a foot from the
rail,, and went gradually nearer until it got close to

and on to a rail, along which it- proceeded
for about a length. From that 'point he examined
thil ' line very carefully for more than half a mile,
and could not find any disarrangement .or mark of
any kind. He was satisfied, from observation, that
it was at the south end of the rail last named, and so
marked that the vehicle first left the line. After bay-
ing; made that examination, he proceeded to assist in
clearing the road, and remained there till the line was
made cear and good. He then took the crippled en-
gines to Birmingham. On examining the engines and
carriages afterwards, he found the coach (No. 236) next
the guard's van, at the top of the leading end, broken in,
and the near hind wheel broken. It was also strongly
marked, as if by coming in contact with a stone. The
leading axle was also a little strained. The next coach
(No. 357) had the leading end completely knocked in,
and was otherwise slightly damaged. The next coach
(No. 18) had a small mark on the bottom panel of the
leading end, in which the deeds were, he believed. On
casual observation this appeared the only damage it had
sustained; but, on examining the under side of it, h©
found that in consequence of the floor of the coach com-
ing very near to the periphery of the wheels, it had be-
come necessary, to allow lull play to the springs of the
carriage, to cut away a portion of the floor of the coach
over each wheel. Sufficient had not been cut away to
anew free play to each or any one of these wheels, as,
on examination, the carriage exhibited marks of friction
and loss of substance at each end and side of each open-
ing. There were also deep marks on the frame of
the underside of the carriage, which had evidently
been made by the very severe thumping of it
upon the nuts of a strap which fastened the spring plate
together. The coupling . chain which connected the
guard's van with coach 236 was broken, and the safety
chain on the near leading end was also broken. The
marks on the " ballast" north of the pilot engine, as well
as those on the rail and chains, were evidently those of
a carriage, being too light to be made by an engine.
There was no doubt that some of the wheels of coach
No. 18, if not all of them, were scotched in the cuttings
under the floor, made for them, or at all events that their
motion was retarded. That coach belonged to the Scot-
tish Central Company. He considered this as a sufficient
reason to cause a carriage to run off the line; that is; if
the motion of the wheels were retarded by not having
sufficient play, a check would be given which would
throw it off the line. He had seen portions of carriages
cat out in a similar way, but never to such a small ex-
tent. He thought they were cut in an injudicious man-
ner. He could not say whether it was the engine or a
carriage that first went off the line, but he was inclined
to think it was a carriage, judging from the
marks on the rail. The carriage had come several hun-
dred miles that day, and had to take up many branch
streams of passengers, and it is the custom for the car-
riages of one company to run on the line of another.
In answer to a question from a juror, he said it was
evident to him that there had been considerable thump-
ing upon the wheels and the nuts of the spring plates
against the under side of the coach frame. In his opin-
ion the springs are weak. Under ordinary circumstances
he should consider it a safe carriage, if only with an or-
dinary load, he should say with not more than nine pas-
sengers. It was built for eighteen. He should have no
fear of that carriage at any speed, with nine passengers
and the ordinary quantity of luggage. He, as superin-
tendent, should have no hesitation in putting nine people
n it with the ordinary quantity of luggage; but know-

ing the springs to be -weak, he shoulddhesitate to put
more, because, if much loaded, the floor would come
down on the wheels and springs. The ordinary of lug-
gage for each passenger was 1001bs., but he could not
say how much there was on it on :this occasion. The
hind and front compartments were full, but be did not
know whether there were any in the centre. Each com-
partment holds six persons.
Captain finish, general manager of the line, explained
the manner in which the carriages of different com-
panies arriving at different junctions, and of different
construction, were amalgamated into one train. It was_
impossible with express trains to survey minutely their
fitness for the journey on their joining the train, but it
was presumed that their having been in a train before was
a sufficient proof of that, and they were generally per-
mitted to proceed with the passengers and luggage they
contained. There was a slight &viation in the build of
the carriages, the strength of the spring, &c. It was
the practice to censider a carriage professing to carry
eighteen passengers, sufficient to do so. He made men-
tion of a minute survey, but he might state that at all
the junctions and stations a partial survey is made, a per-
son being appointed to go round the train, examine the
axles, Sac., but it is not that minute examination which
would detect a flaw in the construction of a carriage. At
the place where the accident occurred the rails were in a
good state.
Mr. V. W. Blake, surgeon, 01d-square, said that at
eleven o'clock on Saturday night he was sent for to the
deceased, and found him suffering under a great hesita-
tion in his speech and manner, tremulous motion of the
right arm, a slight ',bruise on the external part of the
right knee, and also on the right mola bone. His whole
manner betokened a severe shock of the nervous sys-
tem. lie then proceeded to describe the medicines pre-
scribed by himself acting in concert with Dr. Evans, and
the results of a post mortem examination made by him in
presence of Dr. Galliers and Mr. Thomas Chavasse. The
result of the examination was that, in his opinion.
death was caused by the effusion of blood on the brain
He considered that the brain was in a diseased state for
some time prior to the accident, and decided that effu-
sion might in the state of the brain have occurred
