TITE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE SURREY

GARDENS.

The usual Thursday eyening assembly of Mr. Spurgeon's

congregation took place last evening, over which Dr.
Fletcher, of Finsbury Chapel, in the absence of the former
gentleman, presided. After the discourse, Mr. Moore, a
deacon, ascended the pulpit, and addressed the audience
in a speech, from which are taken the following state-
ments :

" Mr. Spurgeon, though better, is not sufficiently strong
to bear the excitement which his appearance before you
would occasion. After conversing with him this morning
for some time I plainly saw this. He still feels the shock
very severely, and his medical attendant has commanded
him to reply to no letters which may be sent him. His
wife and children are with him ; his wife is better, but
weak, and his children, notwithstanding the reports which
have appeared in the press of their death, are alive and
perfectly well. Dr. Fletcher has added to the list of obli-
gations we lay under to him by kindly consenting to oc-
cupy this pulpit next Sunday morning, though greatly to
his own inconvenience. I shall endeavour to obtain Dr.
Campbell for the evening, but this is doubtful. I am not
sure that Mr. Spurgeon will be here next Monday ; but if
he goes on as well as he is now doing I have a faint hope
that we shall see him next Thursday, though we must not
expect him to take any active part in the service. Sub-
scriptions have come in far beyond our expectations. Our
list already almost reaches the sum of 50/. I have made
application to several sources, from whence I hope to derive
considerable assistance. Collections have also been made
' in many of the churches on this side of the water for the
relief of the sufferers. The directors of the Surrey Gar-
dens sympathise with us deeply, and are net only willing,
but anxious, that we should resume our services there.
No blame whatever is attached to us. All that human
foresight or human prudence could provide for we did. I
have no doubt, however, that great good will eventually
result from this sad calamity, and that the Lord has a les-
son to teach us all in it. I am also enabled to inform you
that we are likely to bring at least one of the perpetrators
of the outrage last Sunday to justice. (Cheers.) No, my
friends, let us not harbour a feeling of revenge towards even
our enemies, although we have a right to ,a ish them legally
punished. We have received information this evening,
which it is our intention to follow up, and which we hope
will result in the apprehension of one or more of the of-
fenders. And I may express my desire that in a few weeks
we may have another large congregation at the Surrey
Gardens. (Here again cheers rose in various parts.) But
fear nothing, my friends, a very efficient body of police
will be in attendance to secure order. Those gentlemen
who assisted in the arrangement of last Sunday's service
will now please to repair to the vestry, when we hope to
elicit some further information."
London, England, 1856-10-24

EGYPT.

The contingent of the Egyptian army has just
been definitively fixed for the peace footing at
20,000 men. The infantry is composed of four
regiments of 8,000 men each, and a battalion of
riflemen of 1,000 men, armed with the, most re-
cently-invented arms. These troops are excellent,
and it is known that they distinguished themselves
in the campaign of the Danube. They are organ-
ised and managed in the French method, and with
admirable regularity. The Viceroy, by a recent
resolution which merits remark, has re-established
in his army the turban, the large trousers, and a
costume which, in its ensemble, much resembles
that of the old Mamelukes.

The Nord of Brussels publishes the text of the
memorandum addressed by the Prince of Monte-
negro to all the cabinets of Europe. This docu-
ment contains nothing more than what was sum-
marily stated some time ago, viz., that Montenegro
demands :-1. The recognition of the independence
of the principality in a diplomatic form. 2. The
extension of its frontiers on the side of Herzgowine
and Albania. 3. The precise demarcation of the
frontiers on the Turkish side, as it has been effected
on the Austrian side. 4. The annexation of Anti-
van to Montenegro.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 14th says :
" I have just board, but without detail, that the
Emperor was in great danger the day before yes-
terday at Cronstadt in consequence of a collision.
During a review, at which his Majesty was present,
of a small squadron which is to cruise in the North
Sea, a brig, from some mismanagement, ran into
the Imperial steamer with considerable violence.
Several persons of the Emperor's suite who were
standing close to him on the deck of the vessel, and
some of the crew, were injured by the concussion."

The " Correspondance Antrichienne" defends the
occupation of the Principalities against the French
journals ; it declares the occupation 'absolutely
necessary, until the important question of the Bes-
sarabian frontier is setticd. It affirms that Eng-
laud (?), the Porte, and Austria are all of opinion
that the evacuation should be delayed till that
object shall bo attained.

The " Bourse GAzette" of Berlin states that all
the Swiss officers in the Neapolitan service who are
now in Switzerland on leave of absence have re-
ceived orders to immediately join their regiments.

The General Diet of Sweden was opened at
Stockholm on the 15th, with the usual ceremonial.
The King has appointed to the post of Mirshal
of the Kingdom Count de Henning de Hamilton,
who occupied the same position in the preceding
session.
London, England, 1856-10-24

ROME.

We learn from good authority (says the Consti-
tutionnel) that, after a negotiation with the Cuurt
of Rome, the contingent of Austrian troops in the
marches and the legations is about to be diminished,
and the points of occupation reduced to only two.
Ancona and Bologna will be the only towns where
Austria will for the present have a garrison. In
every other place the Austrians will be replaced
by Pontifical troops. This important fact snows a
marked progress in the public mind, and announces
that the authority of the Holy See is becoming
strengthened in the portions the most distant and
the most turbulent of the Roman States. It, more-
over, shows that the organisation of the Papal
army is becoming more and more satisfactory ; and
lastly, it is a decisive step towards a pure and sim-
ple return to a normal state of things. This mea-
sure bas besides been adopted in consequenceustria, and
auc
an agreement between the Holy See, Austria,
France.
London, England, 1856-10-24

it out unless they got their sailors to patronise it. Mr.
Lindsay then urged the necessity of the shipowners
pressing the claims of the Home upon the men, and read
some conditions drawn up by himself with a view to the
benefit of the sailors, telling them that if they showed
an interest in Jack Jack would show an interest in
them. It bad once been said by a distinguished sol-
dier, " Woe betide the country which forgets its sol.
diers ;" and he might say "Woe betide England the day
that she forgets her sailors." (Loud cheers.) What
were we compared to the continent of Europe ? We
could not maintain large armies, it was useless to think
of it ; our power was in the navy,
"Britannia needs no bulwarks,
No tower along the steep.
Her path is on the mountain wave,
Her home is on the deep ;"
and the day they neglected their maritime interest Eng-
land would begin to move in a retrogressive character.
(Star.) It .was by means of our sailors that we were! to
maintain - our maritime supreancy ; it wait by their_
'beans that the flag which bad "braved a thousand years
the battle and the breeze " should continue to be the bar
binger of peace and civilisation throughout the world.
(Loud and prolonged applause.)
Mr. INGaam, M.P., having been loudly called on, also
made a few remarks in acknowledgment of the toast.
Alluding to the purely social and domestic habits of the
sailor, as evinced by his staying till destitute at the first
house he came to, he expressed a sanguine hope that the
honest tar would resort to the Sailors' Home as affording
him the least hurtful means of indulging his social die-
position.

Mr. HEADLAIS, M.P., then rose and expressed a hope
that all rivalry between the•neighbouring,towns would
speedily be brought to an end. He had recently returned
from the continent, and had witnessed the feelings of
admiration, approaching to reverence and worship, with
which the Germans looked upon their rivers. They all
knew how the classic nations of old taught the worship
of river gods, and though he did not wish to inculcate
Paganism, yet he had some feelings of enthusiasm to-
wards' Old Father Tyne, and they would unite one and
all, frotri the sea high up to the mountains from which it
sprung,- in an earnest and fervent wish for the prosperity
of all those who lived upon its banks. (Applause.)
The Hon. H. G. LIDDELL also responded to the toast,
and after "the vice-presidents," " the guests," and "the
ladies" had been duly honoured, the meeting separated.
During the afternoon about 100 seamen, many of
them old men-of-war's men, were entertained in an ante-
room of the Sailors' Home at the expense of his Grace
the noble founder of the institution. For the evening a
grand display of fireworks was announced, but the pro-
gramme was not carried out.
London, England, 1856-10-24

NEUCHATEL.

A letter from Berlin, in the Constitutionnel,
says :—" It has been announced that Switzerland
will, at its request, be represented in the Congress
of Paris for the affair of Neuchatel. This state-
ment is premature. France has, it is true, pro-
posed to admit Switzerland at the approaching
conferences for this special question, but no deci-
sion has yet been come to. It will doubtless only be
decided on at Compiegne, where the precise period
and duration of the conferences will be arranged.
Prussia will oppose the admission of a representa-
tive of Switzerland, unless the Helvetic Con-
federation shall make some significant advances
to her."

A letter from Neuchatel of the 18th, in the
Novelliste Vaudois, says : " On Saturday the
Fleche steamer brought to this place the deputa-
tions charged to deliver up to the Republicans of
Neuchatel the flags and cup offered them by their
confederates of the cantons of Geneva and Fri-
bourg. On passing before the town the steamer,
which was dressed out with flags, was saluted with
22 guns from the terrace of the Castle, which was
returned by a similar number from the steamer.
On her arrival alongside the quay, the deputations
were received by the Neuchatel committee under
a triumphal arch, the front of which bore the in-
scription, Friends and Confederates—Welcome.'
A cortege was then formed, and advanced to the
Hotel de Vine, preceded by a military baud. The
deputations were afterwards entertained at a grand
dinner."

LITERATURE.

Advanced Text-Book of ecology. By David Page,
F.G,S. Blackwood and Sons.
Geology is now a science of such popular and
established character that those who have not
acquired some knowledge of its elementary prin-
ciples must frequently have occasion to regret their
ignorance, and the readiest method to acquire cor-
rect and concise information on the subject would
be the studious perusal of such a volume as Mr.
Page's, which deals amply, yet briefly, with the
mysteries concealed in the emerald-mantled. earth.
Geology is an engrossing and enlightening pursuit.
It looks boldly into the mouths of the mountain
and the valley, with as much reliance and skill as
a Bedouin peers between the jaws of an Arab barb,
and as surely as the horse-tamer tells the data of
the animal up to the oblivious tooth which defies
all further reckoning, so the expert gauger of this
mighty globe numbers its epochs by its dental stra-
tification, until his computation is terminated by
the hard granitic molar. Rocks, minerals, organic
accumulations,
.marine depoits, volcanic, aqueous,
and atmospheric agencies, are all treated by Mr.
page with philosophic and intelligent clearness,
and the reader of this work will soon become im-
bued with an earnest spirit in tie endeavour to
fathom the secrets of his " mother earth."

NEW MUSIC.

Dunham Massey Waltz.
Bradgate Park Qaadrilles. By Theodor Herman.
_ -

Mitchell, Old Bona-street.
It is so unusual to meet with anything really
attractive among the heaps of new music issued
every week that we are somewhat refreshed by
this waltz. It carries a degree of original spirit
and pleasing melody, alike agreeable to player and
dancer, and, moreover, is not at all difficult. We
can warmly recommend it to those who unite fan-
taitic fingers to " fantastic toes." The " Qua-
dria
ps," though in our opinion, less inviting, will
pass muster in the average of such compositions.
They are well accented and easily executed—two
qualifiehations which will render them acceptable
additionsto the folio of dance music.
London, England, 1856-10-24

NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, of the 14th, in the Co-
logne Gazette, says t--" The official rupture with
the Western Powers is not considered in our diplo-
matic circles as a very serious affair. The King and
his Court regard the recall of the ambassadors, with-
out the appearance of the fleets, as a new delay ac-
corded by France and England, which will enable a
solution sparing the susceptibilities of all parties to
be arrived at. Our government appears to have
no other object than to prepare an honourable re-
treat. If my information be exa'ct, France will be
content with pardons to some, and with certain re-
forms which, however, the king will be allowed all
latitucte to carry into eilect. We know not to
what extent England will be satisfied with this
solution, but it is certain that the other powers
will content themselves with it. M. Brenier and
General Martini are much more in accord on the
affair of Naples than they appear to be. M. Ka-
koschine, the Russian minister, who at first com-
plained most energetically of the policy of the
Western Powers, now speaks much more mildly,
and is full of eulogiums on the moderation of the
Emperor of the French. The despatches of the
Marquis d'An tonini from Paris are also very favour-
able, and he says that the Cabinet of the Tuileries
displays a most conciliatory disposition."
London, England, 1856-10-24

PROSPECTS OF CHEAPEL; FOOD.

By the Canadian mail s,eanuer Indian, which
was to leave Quebec on the 15th inst., we
may expect to hear of the opening of the
western section of the Grand Trunk Railway from
Montreal to Toronto, which will establish the Ca-
nadian route frcm the Far West to Portland during
winter. According to the Milwaukie papers, the
exports from that port alone for the next 60 days
would amount to 1,500,000 bushels of grain per
week, affording employment to 120 vessels per
week during open water. These shipments will
be discharged either at Collingwood or at Windsor,
and find their way to the seaboard by the Grind
Trunk Railway of Canada at a cheaper rate than
by the United Railways. It is, therefore, quite
clear that henceforth Canada and the Western
States of America will furnish breadstuffs cheaper
than they can be brought from the countries bo.-
durina on the Black Sea. Large supplies have
already arrived at Quebec. According to the latest
advices 50 vessels could obtain cargoes if a mode-
rate rate were asked, but, unfortunately, ships
from Quebec cannot afford to carry at low rates
owing to the high rate of insurance on vessels na
vigating the St. Lawrence late/ in the season. This
will necessarily drive the trade to Portland in the
spring and fall of the year. According to the tariff
recently adopted by the American railway com-
panies, the charge for conveying a barrel of flour
from Cincinnati to New York is fixed at 6s. ster-
ling. Ten barrels go to the ton, consequently the
freight is 3/. sterling per ton for a haulage of 875
rniies_a, little under id. per ton per mile. A
Canadian farmer considers 4s. sterling per bushel
a good paying price. This is exchanged with the
miller at the rate of four and a half bushels for a
barrel of superfine flour—say 18s. sterling per
barrel. The carriage to
at 45. per barrel ; thence to Liverpool at 3s. ' • so

STATE OF ThADE.

IVL.A.N.O HESTER, OCT 23.
The market continues to advance in consequence of
the heavy purchases and excitement in the cotton-market
at Liverpool, but sellers are unable to do business. The
cotton movement is looked upon with distrust, and
buyers will not operate.

NOTTINGHAM, OCT. 23.
The lace trade is very quiet, but, a 4 the usual busy
season is coming on, we hope soon to be able to report
increasing activity, There is a fair amount of business
doing for the United States, and the home demand is
about an average one.
In hosiery there is a good trade doing,
many branches
being extremely active. The denearri for America is
go, d, and our home trade is tolerably brisk, The ope-
ratives are well employed, at good wages. The prices
of the raw material are less firm.

PROBPE,CTS OF CHEAPER F')OD.

By the Canadian mail s'eatner t
w.ei to leave Quebec on the Vita ins .2
may expect to liear of the opening of the
western section of the Grand Trunk Railway from
Montreal to Toronto, which will establish the C".
nadian route front the Far West to Portland during
winter. According to the Milwaukie papers, the
exports from that port alone for the next 60 days
would amount to 1,500,000 bushels of grain per
week, affording employment to 120 vessels per
week during open water. These shipments will
be discharged either at Collingwood or at Windsor,
and find their way to the seaboard by the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada at a cheaper rate than
by the United Railways. It is, therefore, quite
clear that henceforth Canada and the Western
States of America will furnish breadstuffs cheaper
than they can be brought from the countries bo:-
during/ on the Black Sea. Large supplies have
already arrived at Quebec. According to the latest
advices 50 vessels could obtain cargoes if a mode-
rate rate were asked, but, unfortunately, ships
from Quebec cannot afford to carry at low rates
owing to the high rate of insurance on vessels na
vigating the St. Lawrence late in the season. This
will necessarily drive the trade to Portland in the
spring and fall of the year. According to the tariff
recently adopted by the American railway
a colla-
r nies the charge for conveying a barrel of flour
fromr Cincinnati to New York is fixed at 6s. ster-
Eric,. Ten barrels go to the ton, consequently the
freight is 31. sterling per ton for a haulage of 875
miles—a little under qd. per ton per mile. A
Canadian farmer considers 4s. sterling per bushel
a good paying price. This is exchanged with the
miller at the rate of four and a half bushels for a
barrel of superfine flour say 18s. sterling per
barrel. The carriage to Portland may he estimated
at 4s. per barrel ; thenceof
1931 h. Canada. and the Liverpool at 35.; so
that at 28s. per barrel
Western States
always furnish flour in any
quantity, and thecfiannesgt wheats at 525. per quarter,

DISTINGUISHED BRAVERY.

A writer in the Times says :—Sir,—Permit me
to add my testimony to that of " An Eye Wit-
ne:is" in your impression of to-day to the coura-
geous act of the brave fellow who rescued the
woman from the house in Eldon-street, Finsbury,
on Tuesday evening last, while on fire. Nothing
can exceed the courage exhibited on that occasion,
for while the flames were issuing in large volumes
from the first floor, certain destruction seeming
inevitable to the poor woman, she being on the
second. Upon a ladder supported by men at its
base did this bold man ascend to the relief of the
distressed woman, and daunted by no obstacle,
finding the window sash a fixture, he, with his
bare fist, smashed the glass and tore away the sash,
and at length, with the greatest caution and cars
for her safety, but with the utmost difficult'',
dragged her out of her perilous situation, got her
upon the ladder, and triumphantly descended with
her amid the flames, greeted by hundreds who
witnessed this intrepid and generous act. In one
of the daily journals of yesterday it is stated that
the fire escape was the means of saving the poor
woman ; but this was not FO, as the fire-escape did
not arrive at the scene of the fire till some minutes
after the woman had been saved. This fearless and,
generous man, I find, is an iron safe-maker, name"
Malpas:, living in Long-alley, Moor-fields, near the,
scene of his courage. I have taken the liberty (4
troubling you with these particulars, in the hope
that such disinterested bravery may not go unre-
warded,

sion. He was induced to ask the question from a report

biguous language.

Plenipotentiaries.

FRANCE.
The following is the letter of the Times' Paris
correspondent, dated yesterday, 6 p.m.:—
The prospect of a settlement of the various points
under the consideration of the Plenipotentiaries was
gloomy enough last week, and I suspect that more
than one Plenipotentiary began to be seriously ap-
prehensive of the result. Had the members of the
Congress been at liberty to speak their thoughts some
six or seven days ago, I believe it would be found
that war rather than peace was by them regarded as
more likely to follow the expiration of the armis-
tice. Matters have now changed, and changed
much for the better. The three sittings of the
Congress last week were far from justifying the
hopes of a pacific arran4ement. The two sittings
of the present week are far more cheering so far as
they have gone. I have already told you that Tues-
day's Conferences ended more satisfactorily than the
previous ones ; and I think I can now inform you
that those of yesterday are still more so. Indeed,
so sanguine is the hope in certain quarters
(as I am informed) that the chances in favour of
peace are greatly augmented, that peace is looked
upon as all•but certain. There wore two modes of
arriving at peace ; one by large concessions on the
part of the Allies ; the other, by large concessions
on that of Russia. So far as can be ascertained in
matters where everything is against obtaining ac-
curate information, no concessions of any moment
have been made by us. The logical conclusion is
that it is Russia that is gradually yielding, while
England and France are stiil united and firm as
ever.

Rusaia calculates on the gradual loosening of the
bonds which unite England and France, if she
caauot cut the knot herself. She believes that two
conutries with a form of Government so opposed,
and with institutions so different, however they
may unite fur common safety in days of difficulty
and peril, must be dissevered when the danger is
gone by, and that there are a hundred chances,
any one of which may be advantageously made use
of to that end. Were the small extremity of the
wedge to be inserted, Russia would answer for the
speedy introduction of the whole.
The Moniteur contains an imperial decree call-
ing out for active service the 140,000 young sol-
diers of the class of 1855.

CHURCH RATES.

The Archbishop of CAN rERBUItY, in presenting a
petition against the abolition of Church rates, took the
opportunity of referring to the circumstances attending
the introduction of the bill upon this subject. He had
placed that bill last year on the table of the-house with
the full intention of proceeding with it ; but after it had
been read a first time he was informed that, inasmuch as
it involved a subject of taxation, such a measure
could not originate in that house. He therefore
had no alternative but to withdraw it. It was quite
impossible that he could support any measure which
would have the effect of depriving the Church of a re-
venue from time immemorial. But with the knowledge
that the collection of those rates had been virtually
abolished in many parts of the country, and that in
many places where they-were collected they gave rise:to
unseemly disputes and animositiesamongst religious sects,
he thought that those persons were the best friends of the
Church who would assent to some conciliatory measure.

Eight per cent. Preference Shares.
The Company is prepared to receive Appiications for Preference
Shares of 61. each, bearing Eight per Cent. interest, payable half-
yearly in London, Paris, or Franktot, at the option of the holders.
A first instalment of 21 rer share will be payable on allotment,
the second 21. on the 31st March next, and the remaining 21. on the
31st May next. The amount of these shares to be issued will not
exceed .00,0001., being the amount required to open the Rue to
Rudesheim, opposite to Bingen.
Applications may, until the Bth March next, be made in the sub-
joined form to the Company's brokers, A. A. Iloghton, Esq.. 11,
Angel-court, Throgmorton-street ; and Messrs. Bragg and Stock-
dale, 6, Throgmorton-street ; or to the secretary, at these offices.
This issue of preference shares was unanimously approved at a
meeting of English shareholders, held at Guildhall Coffte-house. on .
the 14th February last. The effect will be to complete and open the
line this spring, at a cost of lass than 13,0001. per mile ; and, as it is
a continuation of the. prosperous Taunus Railway from Frankfort,
and thence reaches a cenventent landing place opposite Bingen, at
the point where the difficulties of the Rhine navigation begin to be
most serWas. there can be no doubt as to its profitable traffic, or as
'to the security offered by the preference shareS., The Rhine Railway
has obtained the concession and form, d its capital for extending Its
line to Coblentz, and erecting a railway bridge across the Rhine at
that city. This Will !flake the vierbaden Railway the direct route
from Cologne to Frankfort, and it will thus become the connexion
between the existing trunk lines of North and South slermany, when
it is continued to Lahnstein. For the present the company has
thought it best, under the circumst races of fin metal pressure, to
limit its exertions to the first hiehly profitable section. The line is
already completed to fifosbach, Schierstein, Niederwallwf, Eltville,
and Erbech, and,the works on the remaining portion of the line are
so far a Iv .inced as to leeve "no doubt of its prompt completion for the
stun now sought to be raised.
