HER MAJES I'Y'S v[sa AND THE
ILLUMINATION.
It Is impossible to describe she interest excited throughout the
whole line from the Palace to the Guildhall. Thousands of foreign.
ers thronged the Park and the streets, every window was crowded,
every voice seemed raised to show the visi, ors to the English nation
h,,w the people loved their Queen. The Illumination was worthy or
the occasion. Her Majesty conferred the highest honour to the ci•
tizens by attending the entertainment, and did immense service to
trade. Every one was anxious to dress well in honour of the day,
and this caused thousands to sport new garments. Messrs. E.
MOSES and SON were fairly run upon for their superior summer
dresses, but toe immense number of hands they ke, p to replenish the
stock as It goes off, enabled them to meet all the demands, though it
was perfectly unexampled. Messrs. E. MOS S and SON have now
established, by years of trial, the reputation of their clothing; they
have convinced the fashionable world, as well as the economist from
obligat.on, that their clothing is equal to any in the world for qua-
lity. and not more than halt ttie price. In honour of the Great Ex-
hibition, Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have thrown open heir gi-
gantic Mart in Aldgate to the public. whether purchase: 1i or not• that
they may inspect the unrivalled specimens of English embroidery,
executed by E. MONES and SON, and far surpassing any specimens
in the Crystal Palace, and the th ,usands of visitors who attend daily
express their astonishment at the magnificence of their •• dresses and
decorations," the order, system, activity, and capacity of their enor-
mous establishment, where hundreds are employed, and thousands
of dresses sold daily, without the slightest bustle or irregularity, and
Messrs. E. MOSES and SON request everybody to pay a visit and be
judge for himself.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SHEFFIELD BY THE ESCAPE
OF STEAM.—Yeaterday morning a most frightful and fatal
accident occurred os the premises of Mr. John Davenport,
saw-manufacturer. of Rockingham-street, Sheffield. The
firm has in use a steam-engine of about 30-horse power,
chiefly for the purpose of grin ling saws. This morning the
engineer discoverei something the matter with the safety-
valve. On his going to screw it down, to prevent an acci-
dent (the steam being then at its highest pressure), the
screw was suddenly forced away, when the steam began to
escape to such an extent as literally to parboil the men in
the room, Richard Robertshaw being decd before he could
be extricated; and a blade-grinder named Green, although
got out alive, was so dreadfully injured that he died at 20
minutes before three o'clock the same afte•noon at the In-
firmary. A file-grinder was also dreadfully scalded,
but the poor fellow is still alive, and slight hilies are ex-
pressed that his life may yet be spared. Others were more
or less injured A coroner's inquest on the bodies returned
a verdict of "Accidental death."

THE LATE COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT BRISTOL.—
Since the paragraph which appeared in yesterday's Sun
another death has occurred; the poor man Gavin or Gib-
bings having sunk under his sufferings N esterday atternoon.
The third lies in a very precarious state, and although he at
first proceeded favouta,,ly, great fears for his ultimate re-
covery are now entertained. The officers of the coroner have
taken the usual steps in such cases in regard to the machi-
nery, ,4c., of the pit, and it is expected that an mapectot
will be .ent down by the Government, to aid in the investi-
gation Which is abbot to take place.

HULL, JULY 15. •
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states linports
of all kinds of grain are well kept up, and untiarjunately come
on a dull market; the sales of the week hod' ",t.been at some
decline upon last Tuesday's prices. The •, Ober has been
rather broken the last few days, and more v i' , th is now de-
sirable: we continue to receive good acen :of the growing
crops. The unexpected depression on 11 . ke'llane yesterday
had its effect on this day's market ; the supply of English
wheat, it is true, was only m,,derate, and farmers shew some
firmness, but millers are very cautious buyers, and there is
s,,me pressure to sell foreign ; on the whole the market must
be quoted rather lower for foreign, but in English no alteration
can be reported. There is no material change in the value of
barley, grinding qualities of which meet fair sale. The oat
market is exceedingly dull, and all sorts are Is to 2s lower. A
parcel of archangel has arrived earlier than was expected, very
good quality, and held at lld per stone ; they weigh 40 to 41
lbs per bushel. Very little business, passing in beams or peas.
A parcel of nice Indian corn is now on the market, both white
and yellow, and is selling at 30s 480 lbs for the former, and
29s fcr the latter. The linseed market remains unaltered,
with a very small amount of business passing; a fair con-
sumptive sale for cake, both English and foreign. A sale of
rapeseed during the week at our quotations.. Cakes are with-
out alteration.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The second day of the meeting has passed off most
satisfactorily, and fully confirms those impressions as to
the excellence of the show which a hurried survey on
Monday evening enahled us to furor. There is not a
single important class which is not well up to the mark
in point of merit, and in several all former displays are
surpassed. The ceniral position of Windsor, combined
with the natural and praiseworthy ambi.ion to make the
best exhibition of stock possible while so many fo-
reigners ware amongst us, have no doubt c intributed to
this result. This favourite residence of the Royal Fa-
may is so well provided with railway communication,
and so c )nveniently placed with reference to the great
breeling districts, that it has peculiar facilities fur fur.
Dishing forth a good show of cattle. The Seuthdow
sheep, the North Davons, the Herefords, the Leicestersh
and the Cotswolds, are all within easy reach of,
it. Tee celebrated 11-irkshire pigs need nut fatigue
themselves by moving out of their own county
in order to display their merits; and for the rest,
eo one will wonder that under the many influ-
ences of 1851 the society has received extensive contri-
actions from every part of the United Kingdom and
prom the Channel Islands. Yesterday we drew attention
to the excellence of the Southdowns, the shorthorns, the
Elerefords, and the pigs. We have now to add to that
list the show of Devons and of horses. In the former, Mr.
Turner, of Barton, maintains his long-established pre-
eminence; and Mr. Quartly. of South Melton, is also
honourably distinguished. Here, as in the other breeds
of cattle, the female specimens produced are most con-
spicuous for their merits, the heifers being especially
beautiful. To all who are unacquainted with such mat-
ters, practically, and who visit the show-yard at Wind-
sor as strangers from motives of curiosity, we recom-
mend a caret ul and close study of the North Devous. For
symmetry of form and in an artistic point of view they
excel any other species of stock that we possess, and any
man who has a taste for animal beauty will find the ex-
amination of them a source of pleasure. As to the
horses, they form altogether a very superior display,
and the winner of the first prize in class 1 for agri- '
cultural purposes is a perfect prodigy in shape. He
is a pure Suffolk, five years old, bred by Mr. Catlin, of
Batley, and is as nearly as possible a faultless animal.
Die first prize in class 2 for agricultural purposes has
been awarded to a Leicestershire horse by a decision of
the judges, which good authorities on such matters think
open to considerable criticism. There is only one other
point worth noting with reference to this division of
the show-yard, though it is more a matter of general
than of agricultural interest. We allude to a hunter
numbered in the catalogue 444, and called " Fire
King," which has not received a prize from having, by
.nistake, been entered in a wrong class, but which,
yesterday, attracted an extraordinary amount of admi-
ration.

The show-yard contains few monstrosities, and the
same influence which has banished from its neighbour-
lood on this occasion calves with eight legs, tame ser-
aents, and giantesses, has left it with one miserable
Brahmin bull. Perhaps we ought to add to this unit
two enormous pigs, moving mountains of pendulous
Macon disgusting to look at, and we should
Way, when that time arrives, not very palat-
hie to eat. The size of these animals recalls
the fabulous dimensions of the Caledonian boar,
of whose nature they certainly appear to partake, for
they sometimes snap at the legs of visitors in a style suf-
tt▪
ciently alarming. The pig display generally is not
so strong in the Berkshire breed as might have been ex-
Pected—and perhaps we may say, desired. For the use
af farmers this breed is especially well adapted, and
there is some danger that the taste of exhibitors is run-
ning too much in favour of bare-skinned delicate descrip-
,ions of this stock. With reference to the long insisted
in tendency to overfatten, we regret to say that the so-
ciety's show is still by nb means free from reproach. A
Areat improvement has taken place, and this year it con-
tinues, but in several classes there is ample room for re-
form, and the habit appears so inveterate that something
,nust really be dune hereafter to stop effectually this tal-
low enthusiasm. Some of the Herefords that have won
srizes, for instance, are much too obese, and ought to
nave been disqualified on that very account. Fat,
which might be pardoned in the dead of winter at
t3aker-street Bazaar, should not be allowed to intrude
itself into a show of breeding stock, where symmetry
of shape is the only desideratum. Had the judges been
strict in this matter, the awards in several instances
night have been differently made, and with perfect pro-
?riety.
The veterinary surgeon of the society (Mr. Simonds)
henceforth to take an active share in the business of
•he show-yard, and it is a matter of great public im-
portance that his attention should be directed to this
subject. If he is qualified to pronounce a safe opinion
upon any pint, he can surely say whether an animal
'1,13 been subjected to an excessive and improper system
if feeding, and as ho communicates, not with the judges,
cut the stewards, hii views will only influence, and not
absolutely control and fetter, their decisions. He has,
ire understand, commenced his duties in connexion with
the awards, most vigorously pointing out Buy physical
or constitutional defects observed by him, and endeavour-
,ng to guard against the evils which arise from breeding
in and in. Perhaps by his assistance and by Wier
means some definite standards of merit in judging stock
may at last be obtained. This want is at present much
felt, and experienced persons going round the 3 and at
Windsor cannot fel to observe the inequality mud appa.
rent capriciousness of the rules under which many of the
priz:s have been determined.
Yesterday the show was visited by upwards of 3,000
persons, which at ss. each is regarded as a great fille•
OeSS. St. Swithin contributed a few showers in the even-
ing. To-day the Great Pavilion dinner takes place, and
about 2,000 guests are expected to be present. His
Royal Highness Prince Albert will be there, and will
take part in the proceedings, which are in consequence
expected to be unusually interesting. In the meantime
the town of Windsor is preparing itself to share in the
agricultural festivities of the day, and the main street,
and even the Castle itself, is gaily decorated with fisgs in
honour of the occasion.

DARING LEAP AND ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR
FROM A RAILWAY TRAIN.
A very powerful man, named George Fisher, and who
was until recently a member of the Cardiff police force,
from which he was discharged for misc:oiduct, made his
.scape on Monday from a carriage on the Birmingham
nd Bristol Railway, by leaping from it while the train
,vas in motion, and where he was in the custody'of an
ffieer upon a charge, or rather several charges of
mrglary. It having been discovered that Fisher was
ecnnected with some desperate characters, by whom
several burglaries have been committed, and in the per-
petration of which he wag ascertained to have taken a
most active part, warrants were granted for his apprehen-
iion. Having, however, gained some scent of what was
going on, before the warrants could be executed, he
absconded from Cardiff. He remained at large until the
lose of last week, when Mr. Superintendent Stockdale, of
he Cardiff police force, succeeded in apprehending him at
Holyhead. and, having handcuffed him, conveyed him
oy rail, via Liverpool and Birmingham, on the route to
Cardiff. Between Birmingham and Bristol the prisoner
complained of the handcuffs having, from their tightness
and the length of time which they had been on, cut the
.kin of his wrist. The police-superintendent, after as-
.!ertaining that the door of the carriage was locked, took
he handcuff off one wrist. W hen the train arrived
within about a mile from Bristol, at the junction of the
Gloucester and Bristol and Great Western lines, it
was, as usual, stopped for the purpose of the tickets being
:ollected. The railway guard having collected the two
.ackets from the policeman, was desired by him to again
lock the dour of the carriage; which, however, it appears
Jost he neglected to do; and upon tho train being again
.et in motion the prisoner suddenly opened the door and
'eaped out up in the line. The police-superintendent,
although at the imminent risk of his life, instantly
jumped out after him, but falling on the rail he severely
bruised his shoulder, and was unable to pursue Fisher,
who having run through the engine-house of the Great
Western works, succeeded in climbing the bank, and es-
caping into the wood at the No. 1, or Brislington tun-
nel. The police of Bristol, &c., were immediately sent
in search, but without success. The prisoner was last
seen lying in a dry ditch, as if exhausted (with the hand-
cuff on), between Bristol and Bath.

A MAN BOILED TO DEATH IN A VAPOUR BATH.
—On the 3d ult. M. Labadie, a wholesale wine-dealer of
Bercy, went to the Bains de la Samaritaine, on the river
at the foot of the Pont-Neuf, to take a vapour bath, as
prescribed by his physician. It was the first bath of
that kind he had ever taken, and the man charged with
the preparation of it neglected to attend him. The un-
fortunate man opened the valve by which the vapour en-
tered, but was unable to close it. The consequence was
that the steam rushed in with extraordinary violence, and
in a short time he was complete'y suffocated. When
touched the skin came off, and he was, according to the ex-
pression of a witness, " quite boiled." His widow brought
a. complaint before the Tribunal of Correctional Police
against the waiter of the baths, a man named Portimer ;
and as it clearly appeared that the acci•.tent had been
caused by his gross negligence, he was condemned to eight
days' imprisonmentland to the payment of Io,ooof. as damages.
His employer, M. Javal, was declared civilly responsible for

At the Manchester Borough Court, yesterday, two men,
named William Crank and Thomas Price, and a boy named
Moore, were charged with causing the death of an old man
named William Grounds. On Saturday evening, a little be-
fore midnight, deceased went out of a cellar where he lived,
in Cumberland-street, in a state of intoxication, upon which
the prisoner Crank, who is his step-son, comumced singing
and teazing him. Deceased immediately flew into a violent
passion, and exclaiming "I'll soon make you give over
singing," rushed upon his step-son, and they both tell down
together, the old man uppermost. A crowd was speedily as-
sembled.to witness the affray, and Crank cawed Price to help
him. Price, and the other man, kicked deceased several
times on the head and back. The boy Moore was seen by
several persons attempting to kick the old man on the head,
but his trot missing, he only kicked him on his *boulder as
be lay on the ground. Deceased groaned heavily, but did
not move, and was carried into the cellar by his wife and
some of the bystanders. He died in a few minutes, before
medical assistance could be procured. The magistrate com-
mitted the two men fol• trial, and remanded the boy for fur-
ther consideration.
