ROYAL SURREY GARDE SS.

The announcement of the Zonave trumpeters drew an
immense attendance last night. M. Jullien has lately
been regaling the provinces with a taste of the music of
these picturesque foreigners, but until now they have
not been heard in London. During the early part of the
evening they walked about the grounds, and the gay
colours of their costume, as they dotted the promenades,
gave an agreeable variety and novelty to the scene.
When they appeared in the orchestra, and ranged them-
selves in a row at the back of it, the welcome shot forth
from the masses below was immense. The quadrille writ-
ten for them by M, Jullien describes "roll call, the revel!,
the march, the battle, and the victory"—all of which are
invented with a steady perception of the bold and vigor-
ous effects to he got out of 15 trumpets riding over a
large bodyot instrumentalists, who, notwithstanding their
numerical strength, must inevitably be subordinate as
regards volume and pungency. The trumpeters did not
perform any feats that were individually remarkable,
'wit the precision of their unison playing, the delicacy of
their diminuendo, and the skill with which the remotest
echoes were supplied to demonstrative foregrounds, de•
serve uncommon eulogy. The music is of course con-
trived solely for this sort of effects a►nd nothing could
possibly surpass the exhilarating brilliancy of the result.
The tone of the quadrille is military. throughout, as may
be supposed ; and M. Jullien has more than equalled
himself in delineating the wild impetuosity of a Zouave
charge, with which the quadrille terminates. The audi-
ence hardly knew what to wake of the trumpeters at the
outset of their performances, but they warmed up as
the music proceeded, and waxed uproariously enthusias-
tic as the blasts of " victory " approached. To the
quadrille succeeded "God save the Queen," which we
think was never given so broadly and so imposingly ;
and to this was appended the French National Air, at
the peremptory desire of everybody.
The remainder of the programme was similar in cha-
racter to what M. Jullien has been in the habit of giving
at his Drury-lane and Covent-garden promenade con-
certs. Quotations from Mendelssohn's symphony iu A
minor, and Beethoven's Symphony in D, were the prin-
cipal, or rather the choicest, instrumental performances ;
though the overture to " Egmont " should hardly be ex-
cluded from this category. Quadrille', valses, polkas,
galops, and operatic selections constituted the other mat-
ter ; besides vocalisms by Miss Kate Ranoe, Madame
Rudersdorff, Signor Ferrari, and Mdlle. Jessy Rolls ;
and a violoncello solo by M. Ernest Demunck.

BOW STREET.
ROBENRY BY SCAVENGEIIB.-Thii morning, two men,
named Joseph Collins and Henry Brewer, were placed
at the bar, charged with stealing two iron boilers, the
property of Mr. Jacques, iron merchant, Bloomsbury.
From the evidence of a gentleman named Snowden
it appeared that about.ten o'clock last night, the men
entered King's-head-yard for the purpose of removing
the refuse of the place, which was partly occupied by a
butcher, and after they had half filled their cart, he
distinctly saw Brewer lift one of the boilers into it and
cover it over with rubbish ; he immediately left the
window from which ho was looking and gave information
of the proceedit,gs, to the police. The men were taken
into custody this morning, but the property had not
been found.

a
sk

The foreman to Mr. Jacques said the missing pro-
perty was safe last Saturday evening. He saw the
boilers in the yard that day, they were then lying a few
yards from the spot where the prisoner's cart was ob-
served last night. The value of the missing property
was about 41. A kitchen racge had also been lost.

In answer to the charge Collins said he knew nothing
about the property, all he did kat night in the yard was
to remove the rubbish.

Mr. Henry—But 10 o'clock at night is an unreason.
able hour for so doing.

Collins—The residents about the place object to its
being done earlier on account of the offensive smell of
the manure. He had been for the last eight years
constantly in and out the yard, and had never before
been charged with dishonesty.

Mr. Henry—You could remove the manure by day-
light if you chose. There is nothing to prevent your
doing so early i❑ the morning. What have you got
to say- to the charge, Brewer I

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE.

On Monday evening last, a little after eight o'clock, a
fearful railway accident occurred at a place called How-
ler Bottom, between Stubbing and Ewood-bridge sta-
tions, on the East Lancashire Railway.
From information collected on the spot, it appears
that in consequence of the increased traffic on the Bacup
branch of the East Laucasbire Railway it has become
necessary to lay a double line of rails as far as Rawton-
stall, aed preparations. have for some time been in pro-
gress to accomplish this object. About a week ago a
temporary crossing of the line was made in order that
the ballast waggons might remove a quantity of eartb,
and on Monday evening last the Bacup train, consisting
of five carriages, was passing the spot at a rapid rate,
when the engine suddenly got off the rails, a cloud of dust
and steam completely enveloped all around, and indi-
cated to persons within sight of the place that a dreadful
accident was occurring. The fore wheels of the engine
stuck fast, and the hind portion mounted into the air,
making a complete summersault, and the entire engine,
weighing upwards of 20 tons, was thrown down the em-
bankment with the wheels uppermost. The carriages
became uncoupled from the ergine, but got off
the line, and as they kept bumping against the
sleepers a tremendous noise was made, which was
immediately followed by a deathlike silence. The
passengers were completely stunned, and, on some
of them recovering, an inspection was immediately
made. The engineer, John Fielding, was found lu
a most deplorable condition under the second carriage,
being bruised and scalded, and one arm fractured. He
died immediately. Joseph Mason, the stoker, was also
found under the second carriage, scalded and bruised,
and in a state of insensibility. When visited yesterday
afternoon he was still living, but his friends were ex-
pecting him to die.

Brewer—l know—nothing about the property.
Mr. Henry—The witness says he distinctly saw you
one of the boilers into the cart.

Brewer—l know nothing about it.
Mr. Henry ordered the men to be remanded for a
week, in order to afford time to the police to discover
the property.

- Mr. Enoch Morris, of Longho]me, near Rawtenstall,
was seriously injured. We understand that during tho
night he was only known to speak once.
Joseph Harrison, the guard of the train, was injured
on the thigh, but not seriously.
Mr. Richard Ashworth, printer and stationer, Bacup,
bad several ribs broken, and his face was bruised.
Mr. Lawrence Hargreaves, loom-jobber, Carr Mill,
near Haslingden, had his thigh broken and his face
injured.

Mr. Henry Howarth, foreman of a stone quarry, was
injured on one band, his chest, and his chin.
Other passengers were more or less injured.
The first carriage after the engine was smashed com-
pletely to atoms, and it was almost miraculous how the
passengers, about eight in number, could escape so well.
The second carriage, the first compartment of which
formed the guard's van, was broken to pieces, and it
was wonderful how the guard and others occupying that
carriage were not killed.

The cause of the accident has not yet bee* ascertained,
but will be the subject of inquiry at the coroner's inquest.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, AUG. 5.

The fine weather and the rapid fall of the corn mar
kets have been favourable to business here, experience
having shown that the sui plus set at liberty out of work-
men's wages through cheapness in provisions tells sooner
upon the market for cotton goods than most otbers.
Almost all &asses of fabrics for home consumption are
in good demand, and, as compared with the prices of
last Tuesday, manufacturers are asking Id. per piece
advance on printers, Madapollawe, and ehirtings. The
market is without excitement, but moderately active,
both for home and foreign demand. 149ng cloths and 1'
cloths are in request at full prices. Yarns are reported
dear, and prices are lookinf, up, sellers givinr, the gnota•
tions at id. per lb. above the rates of last Tuesday. The
demand for yarns is now pretty general from all marks,
home and foreign, and is pretty active. Messrs. John
Slagg and Co. report :—" There is but little change in
our market this week. The demand for certain kinds
of printing cloths continues on the same extensive scale;
but the amount of business is somewhat checked by the
hardening of prices. For long cloths, T cloths, Mada-
pollams, and shirtings we continue to have an active
general demand, and a steady isusiness is done in them
at full prices." .

LEEDS, Aua..s.

There was a fair attendance of buyers in the cloth-
halls this morning, and they purchased rather freely of
light fabrics, and moderately well of other kinds. Prices
are firm.

The report of this day's Huddersfield market is as fol-
lows : " The market shows an improvement. The fall
in corn has raised the spirits of buyers. Several foreign
purchasers are in the market. Bthiness was principally
in black doeskins, steels, Mixtures go fairly, but
in them there is not so much briskness as last week.
Wool firmer."

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day )

CORN EXCHANGE.

The greater portion of Monday's unsold supply of Eng-
lish wheat was on sale here to-day, but the fresh arrivals
were limited. Only a moderate business was transacted,
at Monday's decline in the quotations.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat. The de-
mand for all descriptions was heavy in the extreme, and
prices were almost nominal.
In floating cargoes next to nothing was doing. Tho
arrivals are moderate.
The few samples of barley on show were taken at full
currencies. Malt changed hands to a fair extent, at fully
Monday's prices.
We had a slow inquiry for oats, yet the quotations were
well supported.
Beaus, peas, and flour sold heavily, at Monday's decline.

DUNIIoW FLITCH OF BACON.—We are informed by
the local committee that, only one happy couple having
in 1855 sent in their claim to the flitch of bacon pro-
mised by W. H. Ainsworth, Esq., to those who prove
their title to the prize, it is not intended that the cere-
mony should take place at Dunmow this year, but to
defer the presentation to the summer of 1857, when it is
expected that the claimants will be more numerous.
GOOD CONDUCT MEDALS.—On paying off the Terrible
at Sheerness on Saturday, Capt. M'ClevErty, C. 8., dis-
tributed on the quarter deck the good conduct medals,
and announced that the Admiralty had granted the gra-
tuity to be given with the medals to the following
men :—To Busbridge, gunner's mate ; Grant, ship's cook
(lato boatswain's watts); and Bowden, quartermaster.
