We have however , sufficient evidence before us to show that the portion of the line upon which the accident occurred is naturally defective , in respect of a soft stratum upon which the rails are laid , particularly after wet weather-This ought to be remedied .

There Were 10,205,787 Eggs Imported Into...
There were 10 , 205 , 787 eggs imported into this country in the month ending the 6 th of August . The returns would be interesting if they specified the number of addled eggs in this large importation . Official returns just issued show that in the month ending the 6 th of August , 1850 , the quantity of tea entered for home consumption was 4 , 376 , 249 lbs . ; in the like period of 1851 , 4 , 730 , 126 lbs . ; and in the month ended the 5 th ult ., 4 , 914 , 700 lbs . According to the trade and navigation returns just published , there has been an increase In the value of watches and clocks imported last month , as compared with the like period of the preceding year . Of clocks , the value imported in the month ended the 5 th of August , 1851 , was 5 , 2271 ., and in the month ended the 5 th ult ., 7 , 297 Z . ; while of watches , the value in August , 1851 , was 7 , 3691 ., and in August last , 9 , 998 ? .
Erom a Parliamentary paper just issued , it appears that the amount of Her Majesty ' s regular troops employed in the colonies in 1847-8 was 1 , 655 officers and 39 , 591 noncommissioned officers and men . The cost for pay was 1 , 404 , 8541 . In 1848-9 the amount was 1 , 712 officers , and 39 , 400 non-commissioned officers and men . The cost for pay was 1 , 390 , 769 ? . ; while in 1849-50 the amount was 1 , 675 officers , and 38 , 752 non-commissioned officers and men ; and the cost of pay was 1 , 329 , 656 ? .
Health Of London During The Week. Thr Pr...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . Thr present Return exhibits a further decline in the mortality . The deaths registered in the first week of August rose to 1124 ; in the week that ended last Saturday ( 11 th September ) they fell to 936 . The deaths among children under 16 years in the first week of August were 656 ; last week they were 485 . These numbers indicate an improved state of health in the infant part of the population , who suffer so much from the summer epidemic . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 1119 , which , with a correction for increased population , becomes 1231 . But this average is greatly augmented by the 2865 deaths , principally from cholera , that occurred in the corresponding week of 1849 , after the epidemic had attained its maximum and had begun to subside .
Last week small-pox was fatal in 10 cases , measles in only 4 ; the cases referred to typhus are 32 . Diarrhoea , dysentery , and cholera steadily decline ; they were most fatal in the first week of August , when the deaths caused b y the three diseases were collectively 241 ; their decrease since that week is shown by the following weekly numbers : —219 , 228 , 148 , 120 , and last week 101 . On tho other hand , scarlatina appears to be making some progress , and last week 58 children were its victims . Last week the births of 749 boys and 688 girls , in all 1437 children , were registered in London . Tbe average number in seven corresponding weeks of thc years 1845-51 was 1312 .
At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29-789 in . Thc mean temperature of the week was 607 de > g .. which is 1-8 dog . above the average of tho same week in ten years . The wind blew generally from tho north .

Thursday Will Be Memorable In The Rule O...
Thursday will be memorable in the rule of M . Bonaparte . It has been marked by the first unmistakable exercise of despotic power , which has occurred since the ostensible deposition of the dictatorship on the 29 th of March . The Paris newspaper Corsaire has been suppressed by a decree , signed Louis Napoleon . Austria ( says the Constitutionnel of yesterday ) has just made an additional step in her attempts to absorb all the petty States in a commercial and customs union . The Duchy of Parma , which had long repulsed the propositions of Austria , has at length acceded to them . A treaty has been signed , and Baron Ward has left Parma for Vienna to exchange ratifications . He was to have arrived there on the 6 th instant .
The Minister of the Interior has postponed the opening of the Provincial Diet of Posen from the 12 th to the 19 th inst ., on account of the prevalence of the cholera . The last returns are to the 3 rd , on which day there were 99 new cases , and SV deaths ; 434 remained under treatment . The Catholic Archbishop of the diocess had issued a pastoral letter to the clergy , directing them to exhort the people from the pulpit to contribute funds for the relief of the places in whieh the epidemic rages , and to form committees to assist the authorities
as much as possible in their sanitary measures . In Bromberg the disease lias _increasead ; in consequence of its progress , a telegraphic despatch from the War-office in Berlin of the 4 th countermanded the annual exercise of the Landwehr for the present season . Tho men who had assembled wt , re dismissed to their homes . The munomvres of the division of regular troops stationed in tiie district have also been suspended tbr tho same reason . The _disease had appeared in Ortelsburg and its vicinity . In _Ostrowa . the number of cases has been in all 428 , of whom 225 elied ; 191 have recovered .
In lhuit / . ie by the lust returns the ; disease was on the increase ; on the 30 th and 31 st ult ., GO ne ; w eases and 20 deaths were reported ; it nlso appeared in the villages of diva unel Oppot . Reports of the appenraiico of the ; epidemic in Bivshm bave been contradicted officially .

The Inquest On The Body Of Robinson, Who...
The inquest on the body of Robinson , who was mnr dered near Sheffield , was concluded on Thursday a " man , named Hinde , who saw - Barber near the snot gave the following characteristic evidence : - ' George Hinde—I live at Newfi ' eld-green , and rent small farm under Miss Browhell . On Thursday last I * coming from Newfield-green to Sheffield , aa near th _^ o'clock as I can tell . When I got at the bottom of M Pearson's clover-field , and just below Mr . Senton ' s hou _? I sat on the stone steps leading from , the road to the _fcfl ' path across the fields . While I was sitting there , smokin a bit o' bacco , two men came up . One of them ' carried _^
bunelle under his arm and a parcel in his hand . He w taller than the other man . I got up to let them pass ov * the steps along the footpath leading to Newfield-green and Gleadless . I said to them , " I will g ive you room , gentle men , to come over , " and the man without the bundle said " " What are you doing sitting here ? It ' s proper you were at some employment . " I told him I thought I had aa much right to sit there to smoke a bit of 'bacco as he had ( Laughter , in which the prisoner joined . ) He did not sav anything more . I turned myself round and looked after them , and I tell'd that young man that hugged ( carried ) the bundles to let that other young man " hug one . " ( Re . newed laughter , the prisoner joining . ) Him that had the
bundle turned round and smiled , but said nothing . I did not take particular notice , but I know that the one who carried the bundle was taller and slenderer than the other . Would you know him again ?—Well , I don't know . I didn't take particular notice of him . I didn ' t think it worth while . ( Laughter . ) The witness was here taken into an adjoining room , and from , four others he instantly selected the prisoner , exclaiming , " That ' s the man , ' and said to the prisoner , " Didn ' t you see me in my smock-frock on't steps ? " The prisoner replied , " Never . " On returning to the room this was reported to the jury , and the witness added , " I ' m sure it ' s the man that spoke to me on Thursday , and who was with the taller man that carried the bundle . "
The Deputy Coroner . —You have also heard the prisoner speak just now ; do you think his voice resembles that of the person who spoke to you ? Witness . —I am quite certain he is the man . Three boys who were near , heard pistol shots . At the close of the " inquiry , Barber was asked what he had to say ; and he replied in a firm voice , and repeating the words dictated by his solicitor , said , " I am not guilty of this supposed murder ; and , if sent for trial , I reserve my defence to the charge . " The prisoner signed his name to the statement " James Barbour , " though throughout the proceedings the name had been treated as Barber . The jury returned the following verdict : — " Wo unanimously agree in a verdict of Wilful Murder against James Barber . "
A truly " horrible" accident happened on Wednesday evening , on the Manchester , Sheffield , and Lincolnshire Railway . The train was one of the Great Northern Company , which leaves the Sheffield station at 9 . 10 p . m ., in order to arrive at Retford in time for the mail train from the north , which is due at the latter placo at 10 o ' clock . On arriving at thc embankment about three-quarters of a mile from the Woodhouse junction , and less than four miles from Sheffield , on Wednesday evening , the train from some cause or other got off the line ; the engine and carriages ran some distance ,
tearing up thc rails and earth , when the former fill over the south side of the embankment , which is here fifty feet high , and tho latter over the north side , the driver being crushed under the fire-box , where lie lay , with his legs burning , for upwards of an hour bolero he coulel be extricated . Tbe guard was killed on the spot , anil the other persons in the train more or less » _yu rcU _- The following statements , by the stoker and one oi Oio _pa-ssengerH , embody all tho material details ol _tlun shocking occurrence : — .
