THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION IN SUTTOI.
TUNNEL.--PRESTON, MONDAY.--The seventh day of this
protracted inquiry was passed in taking additional evidence
from various persons present at the catastrophe, and from
Captain Laffan, the Government engineer. The coroner
at great length summed up the voluminous evidence, and
the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with
great blame to the executive committee, and a charge
of imprudebce and indiscretion against the officers; there
was deficiency of locomotive power; the management was
imperfect, endangering the safety of the public. Signals at
each end of the tunnel and lights in the carriages were re.
commended.

THE CAPE MOUNTED RIFLES.—Upon disbanding
a portion of this force, on the ground of disaffection, Sir H.
Smith paid the following tribue to the officers in command,
in a general order dated, "Head-quarters, King William's-
town, March 15, 18a1 :"-- "It is with the deepest regret
that the Commander-in-Chief has been compelled to deprive

Mounted Rifles have exerted themselves to the uto oat to
avert it; their conduct upon all occasions is of the highest

British officer and soldier in this command, sympathize in

would do well to look back a few years, to the time when
they wore ten or fifteen pounds of petticoat and bustle around
the body, and balloons on their arms, and then imagine
which cut the queerest figure—they or we. We care not for
the frowns of over-fastidious gentlemen ; we have those of
better taste and less questionable morals to sustain us. If
men think they would be comfortable in long, heavy ,kirts,
let them put them on ; we have no objection. We are mote
comfortable without them, and so have left them off. We
do not say that we shall wear this Mess and no other, but we,
shall wear it for a common &ells; and we hope it may be-
come so fashionable that we may wear it at all times and in
all places without being thought sirgular. We have already
