Mr . Princep there ded that Mr . Sombre was of sound mind at all bis life . —The Court ¦ was occupied the whole y , as well as Wednesday , with hearing the ; and the decision has not yet been come to . of Arch es at the Soitth Lambeth Waxee-The reservoirs of the South Lambeth Company been recently covered in , in obedience to an A « t of Parliamentwhich enioins that protection from
, the vitiated atmosphere of London . On Wednesday morning , the arches over one of the reservoirs being completed , the centres were removed , when the whole mass of brickwork of twelve or fourteen arches fell in , burying several of the workmen . Assistance was procured , nearly two hundred men commenced digging , and the sufferers were got out ; but four were already dead , and seven others were severely injured . Fatal Railway Accident osr the Derby Day . — Mr . George Trueman , a gentleman about forty-nine years of age , attempted to step into a railway carriage at the Epsom Station on the Derby Day , while the -train was in motion , when , being pushed upon by those behind , he missed his footing , and fell between two carriages . He then grasped the step of another carriage , and was dragged for some yards , when he let go his hold , and lay between the wheels and the platform until the train was stopped and he was extricated . Having "been taken up to London , he was conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital , where itwas found that he had sustained a laceration of the scalp extending from ear to ear , and laying the bone bare to a considerable extent , a fracture of the left collar-bone , and contusions of the left shoulder . He died on Saturday . An inquest was held on Tuesday , which resulted in a verdict of " Accidental Death . " Mysterious Death in Westminster . —An inquest was held at the Westminster Hospital on Tuesday , on the body of a female child . Prom the statement of Martha Klowles , a young woman living in Brewer ' sgreen , Westminster , it appeared that , out of compassion , she received into her lodging a young woman whom she met in Victoria-street carrying the child who has since died . The infant , almost immediately after their meeting , became very sick ; but some days passed without anything serious happening . At length , however , in the absence of the mother , the child was discovered
struggling , and black in the face . Klowles took it to the workhouse ; but no medical attendance was afforded for several hours , and death ensued . The medical man said he found the child in a stupor , as if from the effect of some narcotic , though a post mortem examination did not reveal the presence of poison . The mother returned after the child had been taken , to the workhouse ; on learning which fact she went away , and has not since been heard of . The jury found an open verdict , to the effect that there was no evidence to show whether the deceased was poisoned or not .
Riots and Loss of Life at South Shields . —Some races were held on Tuesday on the sands at South Shields , where an Irishman named Roe had a tent . M'Anelly , another Irishman , had also a tent there . Roe , it is stated , bore M'Anelly a grudge , and on Tuesday ho brought several Irishmen down from Newcastle , with a threat that they would clear the whole of the tents . About midnight a deaf and dumb young man , of the name of Johnson , an Englishman , and a most harmless character , wont with another man into Roe ' s tent , where they were attacked in a most furious manner , escaping at last with the blood streaming from their persons . Some Englishmen who saw tlieir deplorable condition sought out two policemen , and went to Roo ' s tent .
They were immediately attacked by the Irish party , who were armed , with bludgeons , and were driven outside , whore they were joined by two other policemen , and a fierce encounter took place . Two of the policemen were fearfully beaten about the head with bludgeons , and all four were left insensible . The Englishmen retreated , and the Irishmen made back to their tent , which they barricaded , and whence they filed guns upon the people outside , fortunately without doing any injury . The wounded policemen were removed in a cart from the sandy to a tnvern , and from thonco to their homes , where they wore immediately attended to by medical men . By tho advice of tho Mayor , reinforcements of policemen were sent for from tho River Tyno and Tyncmouth police stations , and , nsaiHtcd by a considerable
body of civilians , they marched down to the sanuw . This waa about three o ' clock in tho morning . Tho Irishmen wero still firing guns , and acting in a riotouH manner . Mr . Buglass , tho commander of tho police , demanded that they aliould desiat , but ho wan answered by a volley from a gun . Ho -went nearer , whoa aoino one thrust a sword through liiu le # . An order waa then given to attack tho tent , wJkju about fifty Irishmen , armed with pistolH , guns , and bludgeons loaded at tho tend , rushed out upon thorn . A desperate conflict ensued , which lasted for about twenty minutes ; but thirty-throo of' tho riotoro were eventually captured . Tho rewt fl « d . Many of tho rioters wore fearfully wounded about tho head , some of thorn seriously . Ono of thorn , Peter Campbell , a beerahop-keeper , died in tho station-hoimo . Maddlaon , a policeman , in in a . very precarious condition .
The Split in the Aberdeen Ministry : Private Correspondence . —The fourth Report of the Sebastopol Committee contains in an Appendix the letters which passed between Lord Aberdeen and Lord John Russell during November and December last , relative to the reconstruction of the War Ministry and the dismissal of the Duke of Newcastle . The documents were given in by Lord Aberdeen on his examination before the Committee ; but they do not throw any additional light upon the statements made at the time in Parliament , and by the late Premier before the Committee . Lord John Russell contends that the Duke should be superseded , and Lord Palmerston installed in his place ; Lord Aberdeen holds that he should be maintained . The argument of the former passes from one ground to another—as that the War Minister should be in the House of Commons , that he should be a man of vigour and energy , that the office of Secretary-at-War should be absorbed in that of Minister of War , &c , while the latter persists throughout in discrediting the efficacy of any of the proposed changes , and iiints that Lord Palmerston is too old for such onerous duties . Victimising Emigrants . —A case of reckless speculation without capital has been brought before the Court of Bankruptcy during the past week . The bankrupts , Griffiths , Newcombe , and Griffiths , entered into business as shipowners and insurance brokers without any money resources and entirely upon credit . Their ships were employed for carrying out emigrants , and were purchased with the money of the people , chiefly of the poorer classes , who were to sail in them . A " Temperance Line of Packets" was started ; but , as the commissioner observed , there are various kinds of intemperance , and the bankrupts were guilty of intemperate speculation . They speedily got into difficulties ; their ships were mortgaged to meet the pressure of debts ; and , although their bills were dishonoured in the April of last year , they still went on . A ship called the Jane Green was purchased by them ; and they continued to receive money from the emigrants nearly until the bankruptcy . In all , they received 3800 J . ; but not a farthing of this was applied towards victualling the ship , though the stores would not have cost more than 900 / . The emigrants have consequently lost all their money , and must pay over again . Mr . Commissioner Fonblanque , in giving judgment , said that the trading was reckless and improvident , and that the treatment of the emigrants was fraudulent ; but that , as the bankrupts are very young men , he thought the justice of the case would be met by sdspending the certificate for three years , by making it of the third class , and , when granted , by suspending protection for six months .

SURVEY OF THE WAR . The aspect of the campaign in the Crimea has greatly changed since we last reported progress . It is now nearly two months ago , and within that period there have occurred great events—the second bombardment and subsequent siege operations ; the vast augmentation of the Allied forces in the Crimea ; the seizure of the Straits of Teni-Kaleh ; and the advance across the Tchernaj ^ a : in other
words , renewed aggressive activity agauisfc the entrenched position of the Russians in Sebastopol , and the resumption of tlie initiative against the Russians without Sebastopol . 1 . As to the Siege . —Proceeding in the order of time , the progress of this remarkable siege must occupy our attention first . The second bombardment began on the Qth of April , was continued day and night with great vigour for ten days , and gradually grow less and less until about the 23 rd of that mouth , when it was suspended . The fire while it lasted proved the superiority of tho artillery of tho the
Allies . The powerful Flagstaff Battery , key of the southern line of defences , waa , by shot , shell , and mine , shaken and rent , more than half its guns were silenced , and by a daring movement tho French pushed forward , and occupied tho tronch formed by tho explosion of their mines , within a few yards oi tho salient angle of the battery . The Manic-Ion , tho Malakoff Tower , tho redoubts on Mount Sapoumo , were also silenced for a time , and the Mamelon was , indeed , rendered nearly untenable . But the bombardment , although it did great damage , and
inflicted immense loss on tho enemy , produced no docisivo result . Probably the Allied generals did not anticipate that it would . Their plan of attack has been evidently this , to take tho south side inch by inch , unless some totally unforeseen opportunity for storming arose . Consequently , when they suspended tho bombardment , they began to p . uah their approaches , on the JMigliah side against tho Malakoff and Kodauaccomplished gallantly by Colonel JSojsh'JON and some men of the Light Division , unlortunatoly with tho loss of that fino soldier , on tho ' French sido against tho Contra !
