A. few-minutes before the coneluBion of the meet.
Mr. Moore stated that intelligence had just
reached him of the death of another sufferer. The
name did not transpire. He also assured the
andionc-e that he (Mr. Moore) was the first who pro-
posed to Mr. Spurgeon to preach in the Surrey
Music Hall—against that gentleman's wishes from
the first. The money c3llected last night, amount-
ing to about 81., was intended to be devoted to the
families of the sufferers, and a further collection
was made after the service last evening. It was
announced that Mr. Spurgeon, as soon as he was
sufficiently recovered, would preach a sermon with
the same charitable object, and every means are to
be taken to alleviate, so far as it is now possible,
the distress of the surviving relatives of sufferers.

THE FLAX CROP.

The falling off of the cultivation of the flax crop of the
south this year, as compare i with the previous, is ac-
counted for in a report of the committee of the Royal
Society for dig Promotion and Improvement of Flax in
Ireland, by the practical instructor!, who attribute the
decrease to several causes :—" The chief reasons given
by them for this falling off were an insufficient supply of
seed for sowing in the spring of the present year, the
failure of many crops from. the use of bad kinds of seed,
in the previous year, and the fact that a larger quantity
„
had been grown of late years than there were facilities
for steeping
and scutching, from which cause
the straw still remained in the growers' hands.,,

THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT MIDDLESBOROUGH —On
Saturiay an inquest was opened before Mr. J. R.
Sowerby, coroner, on the four men killed by the explo-
sion of a locomotive engine at Messrs. Bolkow and
Vaughan's ironworks, Middlesborough-on-Tees. From
the evidence of John Hall, the foreman of the engineers
in the employ of Messrs. Bolkow and Vaughan, and
other witnesses, it appeared that the engine which burst
had only been completed a fortnight ago, and had not
been named. Mr. Williamson (killed) was the engineer-
ing drughtsman under whose directions the engine was
built, and it•wa3 his duty to attend to the testing of the
engine. One trial of its strength had been made on
`Tuesday week, the amount of pressure, according to the
erginen's statement, being about 130th. to one inch.
The engine worked on Tuesday week, moving coal, iron-
stone, &c., about the yard, but it was found that it
leaked at two seams iu two or three places. The heads
were also off some of the boiler's rivets, and the engine
was put into the shop again on Saturday, the 11th inst.,
to be set right. There was a seam along the top of the
boiler, which, in the opinion of the witness Hall, rather
wealcene:l it, the bolts with which the seam was closed
not holding so firmly as the solid iron. The seam was
described as Mr. Williamson's own invention. Hall
pointed out to Mr. Williamson that the seam would
weaken the boiler, but the latter replied that there waif
no danger. On Friday the fires were lit for the purpose
of again testing the engine, and shortly afterwards the
explosion took place. In addition to the seam referred
t ) by Hall, a witness said that he found the saddle of the
boiler sprung 1.16 th of an inch, and that the rivets must
have been forced off by high pressure in testing the
strength of the boiler en Tuesday week. The inquiry
was adjourned.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

There was a revival last night at this theatre of
O'Keefe's comedy of Wild Oats, Mr. Murdock appearing
for the first time in this country as Rover, a part every
way suited to his powers, and performed by him last
night with great spirit and success. In a certain line of
characters he seems the destined successor of Wallaok,
and, if so, will supply a want on the stage long felt. Of
the comedy itself it would be superfluous to say a word.
Though of a bygone school, it still attracts. The cast
last night was a strong one, and the applause was cone'
derable. In fact, nothing could be better than Mr.
Wmpton's Ephraim Smooth, Mr. Ruckstone's Sim, or
even in its humble walk, Mr. Clark's Lamp. Mr.
Chippendale was an excellent Sir George Thunder. Mr.
Rogers was hearty, bluff, and not over vigorous as John
Dory, and the Lady Amaranth of Miss Talbot was
faultless. The house was very well filled.

ROBBERY BY A FOREIGN WOIIAN AND HER PARA-
moun.—Godfrey Holman, alias firedericle. Rollin, alias
Horner, with several other aliases, and Maria !fuller,
alias Hansom, alias Ansell, were brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with stealing a variety of property of a
woman named Ansell, whose name the female prisoner
had adopted.
All the parties are Germane, and lived in the same
house, in Little Prescott-street, Whitechapel. A few
flays ago the presecutrix, who rented the house, went to
Hamburgh, leaving the prisoners in charge of her apart-
ments and furniture. On her return seven or eight days
afterwards, she found the house closed. On effecting an
entrance she discovered that the whole of her furniture
had been removed. There was not a single thing
belonging to her left in the house. A few days
afterwards the female prisoner was taken into
custody by Police-sergeant Foay, an intelli-
gent detective officer, 7 H, and he traced to her pos-
session two looking-glasses and five pictures belonging
to the prosecutrix, and which the prisoner had pawned
at the shop of Hales and Roche, in the Commercial-road.
George Dale, their assistant, positively swore to the
juvenile prisoner pawning the articles, although she
made an attempt to deny it. Foay subsequently appre-
hended the male prisoner, who had absconded when the
woman was taken into custody. He was found con-
cealed in a lodging-house in Spitalfields. The male pri-
soner had pawned a blanket and a quilt at the shop of
Mr. Cresswell, a pawnbroker, in High-street, White-
chapel. The officer had secured the whole of the
furniture and effects belonging to the prosecutrix.
The property was found in various places.
The prisoners on being called on for their defence be-
gan criminating each other. The woman said that
Horner told her to take the things out of the house, to
which he replied in German that she was the thief, and
that he had nothing to do with the robbery, except
pawning the goods at her request.

Foay, in answer to a question by the magistrate, said
the house where the parties lived was no better than a
brothel, and the object of the prosecutrix's journey to
Hamburg was a questionable one.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoners had undoubtedly appro-
priated to their own use property which was left in their
oare. He fined them 51. each, and in default of payment
sentenced them to one month's imprisonment for un-
lawful possession of the property.

-37PAPOLITAAT QUESTION.

The principal Paris correspondent of the Presse
Beige, who, up to the recent change in proprietor-
ship of the Independance of Brussels, had fulfilled
the same function in the latter journal, and whose
communications, distingushed by the letter Y, often
contained sound and reliable information, now
offers the following review of the Neapolitan
gut stion

"It is impossible not to remark the importanee of
the direct communication made by the Emperor of
Russia to the King of Naples. The advice given by the
Emperor Alexander to the King, to submit the settle-
meni; of the existing question to the wisdom and equity
of the Emperor Napoleon, has not alone for object to
free the Neapolitan question from all possibility of a
serious conflict ; it has a more general and a more ele-
vated character. It displays the sentiments entertained
by the Emperor Alexander for the Emperor Napoleon,
the confidence which is accorded to the sovereige, of
France, and the great authority obtained by him in
Europe since the conclusion of the treaty of Paris. With
respect to the Neapolan question itself, I must contra-
diet several rumours which have been propagated within
the last few days, and which tend to exaggerate its
gravity. An ultimatum addressed by France and
England to the King of Naples hoe been spoken
6f. Nothing in the communications of the Western
Powers has had in the slightest degree the character
of an ultimatum, nor even a 'comminatory form.
Likewise, a circular of Count Walewski, in
rep'y to that of the Prince Gortschakoff, has been
spoken of. This would lead to the conclusion that an
animated correspondence has commenced. Count Wa
lewski may certainly have written to certain represen
tatives of France in foreign courts on the subject of the
Russian sircular, at d may have ccaveyed to them the
ulterior communication received by him from St. Peters.
burg., in order that they might be cognisant of the in-
tentions of the Russian Cabinet, as likewise of the man-
ner in which these intentions have been appreciated by
the French Government ; and that they might be ac-
quainted with the relations which exist between the two
Cabinets. But the Foreign Minister of France has
never, I am informed, written a circular 'Mk...this subject
which possessed the character of a diplomatic document,
and intended to receive publicity similar to that which
an indiscretion alone gave to the Russian circular."

*ANAL AND RAILWAY AMALGAMATION.

In the reports of the directors and the proceedings at
the last half-yearly meetings of the Great Southern and
Western and Midland Great Western Railway Com-
panies it was announced that an agreement had been
entered into by those companies for the purchase of the
Grand Canal, in order to its being divided between them
in proportions having reference to its contiguity to the
stations on their respective lines of railway, and that an
application was then befisre the Board of Trade to ascer-
tain whether or not the flovernment would consent to the
prop,sed measure and sanction the bringing in of a bill
during the ensuing session to carry it into effect, To
that application it is now known that an answer was last
week returned distinctly refusing the consent of the
GJverninent to a pale of the canal.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.

Accounts from Limerick bring the following
account of a melancholy incident which abruptly
terminated a railway meeting held in that city on
Friday last :
" Yesterday a meeting assembled in Newcastle for the
purpose of promoting railway communication between
that town and Rathkeale. The attendance was large.
Tho Right Hon. Lord Monteagle was called upon to pre-
side. His Lordship then clearly and forcibly stated the
objects of tho misting. Just as the meeting was about
to go on with the business for which it was convened
Mr. Thomas E. Davenport, who was to have
taken a prominent part in the proceedings, and who
was in the court-house, was observed to become ex-
tremely weak and unable to articulate. He was at once
conveyed to a house in the neighbourhood of the court-
house, and those who were present nearly all left at the
same time. Restoratives and all the appliances of me-
dical skill were used, but in 20 minutes Mr. Davenport
breathed his last, to the evident dismay of many who
had assembled and of those who regretted his awfully
sudden demise. He was agent to the extensive estates of
the-Earl of Clare, of Mr. Pigott, of the Queen's County,
and of Mr. Caulaeld's. The meeting was not held in
conseqUence of this very lamentable event."
Dr Ambrose, coroner, held an inquest on the body of
Mr. Davenport. The only witness examined was Dr.
Persse, whose testimony was to the effect that after Mr.
Davenport had been removed from the court-house to the
grand jury room, he spoke to him, and said he bad a pain
in his heart; he asked for a drink, and was supplied with
wine and water. He then said the pain was gone, and
expired in a few minutes. He only survived 20 minutes
from the time he was attacked. The coroner thought be
died of an aff -etion of the heart. The jury found that
Thomas E. Davenport, Esq., late of Ballynacourty
House, coaoty Limerick, died by the visitation of God.
Thy body was then placed in a shell, and removed to
Ballynacourty House, the residence of deceased.

IRISH RAILWAYS.---IMPORTANT MEETINGS.

The success of nearly all the railways in this
country, the fair remuneration they return the
shareholders, with the vast advantages they supply
to the general public, have created a strong desire
amongst the people not favoured with this mode of
intercommunication to have it, and they profess a
readiness to bear a reasonable portion of the risk or
cost, in the form of additional taxation. The nobi-
lity, gentry, and farmers of Cent aught see the bene-
fits conferred on the districts traversed by railways,
and they are taking practical measures to have
lines constructed through their province. That por-
tion of the Midland Great Western which runs
from Athlone to Galway was constructed with
money borrowed from the Government at moderate
interest, which was secured on the rates of the
districts immediately traversed by this line. At
first it was supposed that the ratepayers were agree-
ing to something like a permanent tax upon them-
selves ; but a few years have elapsed, and the rail-
way is nearly able to meet all its expenses and pay
the interest on the loan without further call upon
the ratepayers. This agreeable result has operated
most beneficially, and other districts, as we have
remarked, are ready to accept railways on similar
conditions, hoping for equaly favourable results.
Enclosed is a report of a public meeting held at
Galway on Saturday. The Marquis of Clanricarde
presided. A large proportion of the nobility,
gentry, and landholders of the county were pre-
sent. The principle of the guarantee was unani-
mously adopted. There are other reports showing
the desire of railway extension in other parts of the
country, which will be found under the usual head-
ing of " Irish railways."

THAMES.

ROBBERY BY A FOREIGN WOMAN AND lIER FARA-
MOUR.—Godfrey Holman, alias lrederick Rollin, alias
Horner, with several other aliases, and Maria Muller,
alias Hansom, alias A nsell, were brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with stealing a variety of property of a
woman named Ansel], whose name the female prisoner
had adopted.

All the parties are Germans, and lived in the same
house, in Little Prescott-street, Wbitechapel. A few
Ways ago the prasecutrix, who rented the house, went to
liamburgh, leaving the prisoners in charge of her apart-
ments and furniture. On her return seven or eight days
afterwards, she found the house closed. On effecting an
entrance she discovered that the whole of her furniture
had been removed. There was not a single thing
belonging to her left in the house. A few days
afterwards the female prisoner was taken into
custody by Police-sergeant Foay, an intelli-
gent detective officer, 7 11, and he traced to her pos-
session two looking-glasses and five pictures belonging
to the prosecuLrix, and which the primer had pawned
at the shop of Hales and Roche, in the Commercial-road.
George Dale, their assistant, positively swore to the
juvenile prisoner pawning the articles, although she
made an attempt to deny it. Foay subsequently appre
hended the male prisoner, who had absconded when the
woman was taken into custody. He was found con-
cealed in a lodging-house in Spitalfields. The male pri-
soner had pawned a blanket and a quilt at the shop 01
Mr. Croswell, a plwnbrAer, in High-street, White-
chapel. The officer had secured the whole of the
furniture and effacts belonging to the proseoutrix.
The property was found in various places.
The prisoners on being called on for their defence be-
gan criminating each other. The woman said that
Horner told her to take the things out of the house, to
which he replied in German that she was the thieF, and
that he had nothing to do with the robbery, except
pawning the goods at her request.
Foay, in answer to a question by the magistrate, said
the house where the parties lived was no better than a
brothel, and the object of the prosecutrix's journey to
Hamburg was a questionable one.
Mr. Selfe said the prisoners bad undoubtedly appro-
priated to their own use property which was left in their
care. He fined them 51. each, and in default of payment
sentenced them to one month's imprisonment for un-
lawful possession of the property.

NEUCHATEL.

BERLIN, DEC. 11.

The Neuchatel affair progresses very slowly; and,
" like a wounded snake, drags its slow length
along." The facts that remain to be chronicled
connected with the matter are, that since the
Swiss Federal Council came to the resolution
Herr von Sydow, the representative of Prussia,
has received orders to withdraw to Sigmaring en,
where he occupies a post in connection with the ad-
ministration of the Principality of Hohenzollern.
This withdrawal of the Prussian Representative is,
however, not a diplomatic recall, but serves only to
showto Switzerland that as long as the prisoners are
not released Prussia cannot treat ; the personnel of
the Prussian mission at Berne are still there. About
a week back the Representatives of France and
Russia, in conformity with the exaonpl© of those of
Austria, Bavaria, and 13aden, made fresh represen-
tations to the Federal Government of the danger
and impolicy of the course it had adopted, and
renewed their remonstrances for the liberation of
the prisoners. The Federal Council refused again
to listen to these well-meant representations of th e
foreign Governments, and in so (*loin was backed
and encouraged by our diploma.#6ic representative
there.
The next step that this Government will take is
to present a report to tba German Bund, showing
what little effect its cumulative representations have
had in Berne, and this report, 'backed with similar
and corroborative reports from the Governments of
Austria, Bavaria, and Baden.; will then probably
be referred to a committee to consider what further
steps the Bund may find it expedient to take in
the matter.
