      CORX EXCHANGE . JuLT 27 . The supplies of English wheat by land carriage samples this morning were exceedingly small , and our quotations of last week maintained ; free foreign met an improved demand , and , in many instances , at prices which were unobtainable on Friday last . There was a trifling inquiry for Black Sea wheat to export for Belgium . Flour is a slow sale at former rates . Odessa letters of the 10 th and 15 th inst ., inform us of an active business in Wheat there ; about 83 , 000 qrs . had been purchased , principall y for Italy , up to prices equal to 41 s . and 13 s . per qr here in bond . There were very few beans or peas , and little barley at market , and the value of each is unaltered from last Monday . Oats sell rather more freely than last week on the same terms . AVERAGE PRICES Of the last six weeks , which regulate the Duties from the 92 nd to the 29 th ef July .

      submit to rather lower prices . Sack flour was likewise but little sought after . The trivial supply of fresh quality at hand , howerer , caused the few parcels which came forward to betaken . off at nearly former rates . Oats , being more plentiful , were again the turn cheaper ; but oatmeal was in steady request , without change in value . An exceedingly limited amount of business occurred in wheat at our market this moririuK , and this article further receded 2 d to 3 d per 70 lbs . Barley flour moved oft' steadily at a decline of Is per 186 lbs . For really choice fresh English and Irish there was also a fair demand , such deseriptions commanding a tolerably ready sale at our quotations . Stale and inferior qualities , however , were quite neglected , and nominal in value . With a languid inquiry for oats , a reduction of Id per 45 lbs . must be noted . Oatmeal was taken at a moderate extent by consumers , without alteration in prices .

      Extraordinary Charge Of Detection And Crim. Con.

      EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF DETECTION AND CRIM . CON .

      Strand Sessions, Jolt 25.—Ellen Hughes, ...

      Strand Sessions , Jolt 25 . —Ellen Hughes , a good looking female , attended before the bench , to support a summons which bad been taken out against her busband , Mr . John Hughes , lately an engineer in the service of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company , by the guardians of the Strand Union , for allow , ing her to become chargeable to the parish of St . Giles . Mr . Ballantine , the barrister , was engaged for the complainant , and Mr . Bodkin for the defendant , who was present during the examination .

      Mr . Ballantine , in opening the case , said that he was sorry the defendant had allowed the present case to come before the court , as he would have to state cir . cumstances of a very unpleasant character . The defendent was well able to support his wife . The charge , be understood , that would be laid against the complainant wag , that since her separation from her husband , she had been living in a state of adultery ; but he believed he should be able to show that there was not a word of truth in the charge . At the time the complainant was married , the defendant know that she was living under the protection of a military officer of the name of O'Donnell . The circumstances were such as to leave no doubt on the mind of the defendant as to

      the nature of the connection , and lie married her . The defendant , after his marriage , went to Canada and resided there some years . On his return home he turned his mind to engineering , and took a situation as an engineer in the service of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway , at a salary of £ 600 a year . He engaged a lodging at Worcester , and there resided some months . While there , she was seized with a serious illness , in consequence of which they were ordered not to occupy the same bed . During this period , a servant girl was taken into the house , and it was found by tlie complainant , on her recovery , that the defendant had formed a criminal connection with this girl , who occupied her

      bed . She dismissed the servant . She left , but soon after the defendant also left ; showing thus the first desertion , He went to Birmingham , where , on being traced by the complainant , he and the servant were living together . It was thus clear that if any one was to blame it was the defendant . The complainant had latterly been receiving visits from Mr . O'Donnell , and from that circumstance it was intended to be shown that she had been aommitting acts of adultery . He would give the best possible testimony he could agiiinst such an assertion—namel y , the denial of the charge , upon oath , both by the complainant and Mr , O'Donnell . who he would bring before the court .

      The complainant , Ellen Hughes , was then sworn . She said that she was married at Belfast on the 1 st of January , 1830 . After alluding to the alleged intimacy of the defendant with the servant girl , whose name was Eliza Pikes , she said that , in 1812 , an arrangement was entered into at that bench , when she received £ 3 ; and she was to have had 10 s . a week , but which she only received for three weeks . She was two years and had no support . She then discovered that he was living at Dover , where another arrangement was entered into , but in that he also failed . She wa & then without means of support , except by pledging . She produced several pawnbrokers' duplicates . Mr . Ballantine—Have you at any period since your marriage with Mr . Hughes committed an act of adultery ! Complainant—Certainly not , sir . Mr , Ballantine here stated that his case was closed , when

      Mr . Bodkin said he regretted that his Learned Friend had introduced charges against his client for which no evidence had been offered , and he was instructed to say that there was not the slightest foundation for the charges . He should be able to produce such evidence as in ordinary minds would leave not the shadow of a doubt that adultery bad been committed by the complainant , and that she had been living with Captain O'Donnell after the separation from her husband . It was true arrangements had been agreed to , but then it was also proposed that the complainant sWldnot annoy her husband ; but she had done so , by calling upon him , by breaking the windows at houses where he lived , and other offensive ways . The defendant was obliged to be separated from Ms wife , as she was i „ the llabit of getting constantly intoxicated , and b y her habits of inebriety she had brought him nearly to ruin

      Three witnesses , living at No . C 2 , Casttcstreet , Leicester-square , werebrought forward to prove that Captain O'Donnell had called upon the complainant , who was living in the back parlour of the house , for five or six weeks past , and thathe had occasionally sleptinthe same bed with her . On one occasion Captain O'Donnell was refined , admission , when he scaled a wall , and got Into the room by getting over the shutters of the window . The lodgers tried to eject him , upon which he threatened to strike them with a poker , when they ran away . The Captain and the complainant had quarrels , Mrs . J . Corren , 6 , Chureh . street , Soho , said that for four or five months the complainant lod ged with her and that she was visited by a person named Jones , \ Ann Wilmot , a laundress , proved having washed for the complainant , when living in Monmouth-street , and Maiden-lane . She had seen her in bed with Jones . Captain O'Donnell was now called . He had been

      thirteen years in the army . He knew the defendant , who was Adjutant in the 92 nd . He married complainant from bis ( witness ' s ) introduction . She was then living with witness . She wai visited by him in Castle . street , but no criminal intercourse took place . He visited her from old acquaintance , and relieved her repeatedly . Captain Noland , formerly Adjutant of the 20 th Foot son-in-law to the Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne ! said that he had been in the habit of relieving the complainant who made shirts for him . He believed her conduct to be respectable . Mr . Ballantine replied , Mr . Bodkin having objected to put any quetions to the last two witneises , The bench then having consulted together , tho ordtr was reused .

      Strand Sessions, Jolt 25.—Ellen Hughes, ...

      ffilE lAtfB COLLISION VON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY- ' On Monday , at ten o ' clock , Mr . W . Baker , jnn ., deputy coronerfor the eastern division of Middlesex , and a jury of highl y respectable inhabitants of the parish of Hackney , ootnmenc : d an investigation at the Duke of Richmoud Tavern , Queen ' s-road , Dalston , touching the death of Mr-. W . H . nd , a gentleman lately , residing at No . 3 , Victoria Villas , Dalston , who died on the morning of Friday last , from the effect of injuries sustained by the recentcollision on the Eastern Counties Railway . The coroner and jury proceeded to view the body , which was enclosed in a leaden shell , and lying in the library of the deceased ' s late , residence . The remains were in an advanced state of decomposition . On return , ing to the inquest reom ttie proceedings were commenced by the examination of—. _' - !•• «• . i— L- —* . _ — 1 VI J _ „__— m inifinniT / iA * Tir

      Air . Francis Tomlinson , surgeon , of Hackney , who deposed as follows ;—! was first called on te- see the deceased about half-pst six o ' clock on the evening of Saturday week last . ' I found him suffering from great soreness about the lower parts of the chest and abdomen . He described to me the nature of the accident from tvb ich bis injuries had arisen . He said lie had been a passenger in a second class carriage on the Eastern Counties Railway from llford to London ; that a collision had occurred at the Stratford station ; that he had been thrown upon his face from the carriage in which he was seated , on to a

      wooden platform between the rails , and that a portion of the engine , or one of the carriages , had rested upon his back . I continued to attend the deceased till his death , which occurred on the morning of Friday , the 24 th hist . It was not until Monday that any symptoms of internal Injury appeared ; on that day symptoms of peritoneal inflatnmation exhibited themselves , for which I bled him and advised his friends to call in further advice . On my recommendation Mr , Bransby Cooper and Mr . Ashton Key were called in . I met Mr . Cooper on Tuesday last , at which time the deceased was so much worse that we

      considered his case hopeless . Everything was done which skill could suggest to recover the deceased , but without avail . Mr . Cooper and Mr . Key both saw deceased on the Tuesday and on the Wednesday . In conjunction with Mr . Cooper I have since made a p oscmorfcm examination the body of the deceased . The body presented a peculiar appearance , from the immense distension of the abdomen as well as from the yellow tinge of the skin , as if jaundiced , especially on the face . Some'few slight bruises were observable on different parts of the body , but all unimportant in extent , with the exception of a lacerated wound of the left leg , which was rather more severe . No mark of external violence being visible on the bead , the brain was not examined . The chest was opened and all its viscera were found remarkably healthy , On

      laying open the cavity of the abdomen extensive injury was lranifcsted' from the . generally diffused inflammation throughout the peritoneal covering of the intestines which were glued together with recent plastic effusion . Both the large and small intestines were equally distended , thrusting themselves from the abdominal cavity so soon as the parietes were cut through . The smaller intestines were carefully removed and ligatures applied to their truncated extremities . On tracing the ascending colon from its head to the right hypochondriac region , nothing peculiar beyond its unusual distention from flatus was observed until we reached the point where it comes in contact with the liver and commences its transversed course across the abdomen , and here it was found firmly adherent to the liver . On the adhesion being separated , a cavity was exposed in which was found a small quantity of extra .

      vasated blood . On the corresponding surface of the liver an abrasion of its peritoneal covering was discovered , but there was no lesion of its proper capsule , A large portion of the under surface of the right lobe of the liver had an ecchymosed appearance , which on being cut into presented a grumous mass , its natural structure being lost from the extravasation of blood into its interstitical tissues . The pancreas , spleen , and kidneys , were healthy and uninjured . The transverse part of the colon gave the appearance , through its attenuated coats , of ecchymosed' spots , but upon laying the intestine open it was found to be only small portions of feculent matter , presenting opaque spots through its translucent cavity . The urinary bladder was uninjured , Neither Mr , Cooper nor myself have any doubt as to the fact of Mr . Hind's death having been caused by the violent injuries he received on the 18 th instant .

      John Arch was then examined . —Ho said—I reside at Prospect-row , Stralford , and am a coach body-maker in the employ of the Eastern Counties Railway Company . On Saturday , the 18 th ins t ., about 4 o ' clock in the afternoon , I was passing along AngeMane , Stratford , on my way home , when I heard a loud crash , which appeared to proceed from the railway . I immediately ran back to the Stratford station , and there I saw the' deceased gentleman lying upon the wooden portion of tiie platform between the rails , with a portion of a second-class carriage resting upon him . 1 assisted to remove the carriage from off the deceased , and saw him carried into the first-class waiting-room .

      James Biackhouse was next called . He said , —Ireside in Angel-lane , Stratford , and am a carriage-springmaker in the service of the Eastern Counties Railway Company , I assisted the last witness John Arch , in removing the body of a gentleman from the platform between tho two lines of rail on the afternoon of Saturday week last . When I saw deceased part of a second-class carriage was resting u ;« on him . I think it was the last carriage in tho train . An engine which had run into the train was off the rails . It ivas the cross-bar and part of the hind seat of a second-class carriage which were lying upon tho deceased . The floor and sides of the carriage were completely smashed . Mr . Itawlings here ( -. vddtesriug the coroner ) said that Mr . Anderson , the governor of llford gaol , was now in attendance , and he believed wished to make some statement with respect to the prisoners Clare and Quintan .

      Tho Coroner ( addressing Mr . Anderson ) said—Have you brought the prisoners Clare and Quinlan with you ! Mr , Anderson said h « had not . ' 1 ' hcy were In hU custody at llford gaol ; but be believed that if an appH-< ation on the subject were made to the magistrates , ihere would be no difficulty in bringing them before the jury . The Coroner said on some former occasions he had made similar applications for the production of accused parties , and his applications had not been acceded to . If , therefore , there was a probability of a refusal on the part of the magistrates , he should be reluctant to make any such application . Mr . Rawlings said the reason he was anxious to have the accused parties present was that it appeared to be the object of the Eastern Counties Railway Company to exonerate themselves , and fix the guilt upon those two individuals .

      The Coroner said , nothing of the kind had appeared from anything which had transpired before the Court . Mr . Kawlings said it was nevertheless the fact . They have been committed to take their ti-ial at the quarter sessions at Chelmsford , on tlie prosecution of the company , and therefore I contend that I am justified in asserting that the company are desirous of making them the culpable parties . Under these circumstances he contended the accused parties ought to be present , The Coroner said , as tlie application came from such a quarter , he thought no objection ought to be offered by the jury , and he should therefore at ouce make the application as requested by Mr . Rawlings . The application having been reduced to form , was handed to Mr , Anderson , and Mr . Duncan having offered the use of a . special train , that gentleman at once proceeded to llford in order to procure the attendance ot the prisoners .

      Mr , Benjamin Richardson , the clerk and station-master of the Stratford station , was next called . He recapitulated at great length the evidence he had given before the magistrates at llford , on the 20 th instant , as to the arrival of the Ipswich train on the previous Saturday , a quarter of an hour after its proper time . It was due at 5 (! minutes past three o ' clock , and did not arrive until eight or ten minutes past four o ' clock . Immediately afterwards he saw a truck train ( driven by William Clare ] coming up the line at a rate , as far as he could guess , of from twelve to fourteen miles an hour , and in an instant after the collision took place , the Firefly engine , driven by Clare , running into the Ipswich train . He did not hear Clare sound his whistle as he approached the station . It was an imperative rule oi the company that

      all engines passing a station should , upon all occasions , sound the whistle , This was laid down in the 24 th rule of the regulations , intended for the guidance of engine drivers , which ran as follows : — " The engine man must always look out with great attention on approaching and passing stations at which they are not to stop , particularly if a train is stopping upon the opposite line , so as to be able to check the speed of their engine instantly if required , and they must give notice of their approach by sounding the whistle , " The witness described at length the mode in which the signal was worked , the nature of the collision , his having given Clare into custody , and other matters , all of which was detailed in the report of the evidence before the bench of miigistratest at llford , Mr . Hare inquired whether Clare had any deficiency of sight !

      Mr . Richardson replied that he was Mind of one eye . Tha Coroner here remarked , that on referring to the rules and regulations issued by the company , he found the first paragraph ran as follows : — » Every officer and engine-man before he shall be allowed to serve on toe line shall sign these regulations ; for disobedience to which he will be punishable as for an offence against Us cm . plovers and against the law . " Ho wished to ask Richard son if he was aware whether Clare or Quinlan had acouv of these rules ? *"

      Richardson said , he could not answer the question . The cross-examination of the witness Richardson was here commenced by Mr . Rawlings . The chief points wsre as follows J-Formerl y there were a clerk and station-master at Stratford , but I now fulfil the duties of both offices . The increase of the establishment Las been among the porters . The parties who perform double functions to my knowledge ai-e , myself , as statioB-milstor and clerk ; Greene as signal ' mon and pointsman ; Clare as cn gme-driver and fitter ; and Quinlan , as labourer and stoker . Formerl y fwo persons were employed to perforin tne dist . net duties of signal-man and pointsman at the junction in tho p-inted regulations put in there is a ruietothe effect that no one train is to follow another within ten minutes , but subasmjently to these rules hav , ng bc * n issued , an alteration hui bean made , by wnich the time has betn reduced to five minutes . It was r trmetfy my duty , as station-master , to keep the time oi the trains , but the time is now kept by the guard only . * ormerly u waB u ( me bj both mjgolf and the guard , the

      Strand Sessions, Jolt 25.—Ellen Hughes, ...

      object being to test the aceuracy of the guard's time . My return was forwarded to London daily . That practice has been discontinued fer nearly two years . Supposing the driver of thetruok train had seen only one red fam exposed , it wouM have been his duty to have stopped 100 yards on the Stratford side of the signal . It was not un . usual for truck trains to be without guards . Had a guard been with Clare ' s train , it is likely the train might have been stopped hefer * its arrival at the station , and the ucciuentprevented . In consequence of the dangerous situation of the Stratford station , its removal has been contemplated by the directors for upwards of a year and a half , The Colchester line has been open seven ' yeavg . I have been at ; Stratford six years . Since the collision another man has been appointed as signal-man below tho Maryland-point Bridge . Mr . Duncan heve suggested that the following regulations of the company should be here inserted in the depositions ; viz .: — .......

      " 21 . Th « engmeman and fireman must pay immediate attention to all signals , whether the cause of the signals is known to them or not . " 87 . A long-continued whistle must always be given oh approaching the Stratford-station , and the whistle must we sounded on approaching each crossing gate , unless the engineman can plainly see that the line is clear . " 42 , The engine-man must always keep a particularly good look out in approaching the Stratford and Broxbourn junctions , and must never exceed a speed of ten miles an hour in passing through the junction points and five miles an hour in fogs . " 45 . All engine-men , on approaching the Stratford junction , from whatever direction , and whether with or without a train , must invariably blow the steam-whistle as soon as they arrive within a quarter of a mile from the junction . "

      Mr . Rawlings submitted that the Coroner should also add to bis deposition the two folio . ving regulations of the company . " 61 . No engine or train is to be allowed to leave or pass a station within ten minutes of another train upon the fame line , except at the Broxbourn station . " 102 , Every man employed on this , railway is to be supplied with a copy of these regulations and a train time bill , and he is required to keep them constantly on his person when on duty , ancfto produce them whenever required , It being now half-past five o ' clock , and from the impertance of the evidence there-being no chance of concluding the inquiry that evening , ny unanimous consent of the jury the proceedings were adjourned . ¦ ....--. ¦

      THE ADJOURNED INQUEST Upon the body of Mr . Hind , was resumed on Tuesday at the Duke of Richmond Tavern , Dais ton . . Edward Unwin , the boy who acted as messenger at the Stratford station , and whose duty , on the day of the accident , was to look after the signals guiding the trains , was next examined . His evidence , for the most part was repetition . ' George Blatohford , the guard of the up-train , was then examiaed at length . He corroborated his former statements , but added no new fact , John Chester Craven , one of the men engaged in the works of the company , was called . He had not been in the service of the company more than ten weeks . He had seen and had the rules of the company in his hand , but a copy had never been given to him . Clare was a fitter , and sometimes went out with an engine . He had been out three times iu the week in which the accident occurred . Altogether be had been out eight times .

      Mr , Rawlins said that his instructions were that Clare , had never been down the Colchester line before the day in question . Craven stated that in this week Clare had been out on the Colchester line ,, He had been out once to Shoreditch , once to Colchester , and once to Romford works . Mr . Hunter , the superintendent of the line , appointed all the drivers , and they were not before their appointment subject to examination by any other person . He had never before known Quiulin to act as a stoker on the Coichester line . Mr . George William Brown , a gentleman engaged with Mr . Jackson , formerly contractor on the Eastern Counties line , for the conveyance of heavy goods from Shoreditch to Bishop's Stortford , gave evidence of having frequently travelled on engines driven by Clare , and that he believed Clare was perfectly acquainted with the signals at Stratford , as with those at all other points of the line . Nothing , however , was more calculated to distract . tlie attention of an engineer than the having five persons on the engine with him .

      Captain Coddington , assistant inspector general of railways , was called and examined . By the desire of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade I inspected on Monday and Tuesday last the Eastern Counties line between the llford and Stratford stations . The particular object I had in view was to ascertain whether , when the engine driver saw the signal , he could have stopped the engine in time . For this purpose I applied to the secretary , and obtained the use of the same engine , tender , and seven trucks which were driven by Clare . I made three experiments with this train . I first proceeded to llford in the down-line , and there changed tlie train to the up-line , and directed the engine driver to make the best of his way to Stratford . After going about a mile and abalf , and attaining a speed , as well as I can judge ,

      of about 25 miles an hour , I directed him , without previous warning , to stop the train . I marked the point where I gave the order , and after the engine stopped I measured the distance from that point to the engine ; the distance was 445 yards . The stoppage was effucted by the break alone , without having reversed the engine . I then again got on the engine and went on to Stratford , and on arriving opposite to a person whom he had stationed there with a flag , when we were going at about 30 miles an hour , I again gave the order to stop , and we stopped the train in 458 yards , and as before by the break . We went on again , I allowed the train to proceed at a very rapid pace , exceeding 30 miles an hour , the last half mile being done iu 58 seconds . I continued at the same

      speed until in sight of the signal at Stratford . I then told the dvivev to shut off the steam , and put on the break ; 30 yards further on the engine was reversed . The train came to a stand-still under the bridge before tlie platform of the station . The rails were at that time very wet with rain . In these three experiments the train was pulled up in less space than that in which Clare had to pull up in ; and it is quite clear that Clare might have stopped this train within that distance if he had really seen the signal . I have searched the records of our office , relative to all railway accidents , which extend over a period of five years , and I cannot trace any accident that can be effectually referred either to a defect in the signals themselves , or to the misunderstanding them .

      Mr . Duncan—If going at the rate of 15 miles an hour , svitV . in what distance could you have pulled up ? I cannot say exactly , but within a considerable shorter distance , certainly . I saw the signals worked up and down ; they worked well . There are no such signals used on any other line . Cross-examined—It would make no difference in the facility of stopping the train whether you were to see tho signal at the spot where it can first be seen , suddenly or not suddenly . I was looking out for it when I saw it .

      The men who were with » o were competent for their duty . I don't know thitt there is a station between llford and Stratford . I have presumed that the parties in the engine which caused theaccidcntwereconipetentpersons . It depends entirely upon the amount of work to be done at the station whether a pointsman should also be a signalman , I have never considered the peculiarity of the Stratford station as a station where there is a junction . I dontconsider there is any question of safety concerned in placing a passenger carriage behind horse boxes . I have seen horse boxes in different parts of a train . I don ' t see

      anything either correct or incorrect m the position of the horse boxes in the train which was run into . It is usual for goods trains to have a breaksman ; but I don't think it is imperative . Mr . Rawlins thought it was now the time for the company to put in the rules which it was alleged Clare had received and signed . Mr . Duncan had thought that Mr . Brown would have proved this , but he now understood that Mr . Marshall ( who is said to have originally engaged Clare ) was the party , and he would endeavour to have Mr . Marshall prestnt before the inquiry closed . The Coroner—K this is not proved , it wiU go to the jury that Clare never received the rules .

      Thomas Nicholson , one of the assistant foremen at the company ' s works , who was with Clare on the engine when the accident occurred , and who , it will be recollected , was taken into custody but afterwards discharged , was examined . The substance of the evidence which he gave has before appeared . CharlesTomlinson and George Ault . both in theservice of the company , who also were on the engine , corroborated Nicholson ' s evidence . In reply to aquestion put by a juror , Tomlinson stated , that he received two guineas a week , working sometimes 10 , and sometimes 12 hours a day , and ttat those wages wore secured to him even when in consequence of sickness he w .-is unable to work .

      Mr . Rawlins here expressed the great regret which he felt that his client had not been permitted to bo present , and handed in a letter from the governor of llford gaol , stating that , should a written request from the Coroner be sent to him , requiring the presence of the prisoners at the inquiry , he would consult his brother justices upon the propriety of acceding to it . John Hunter , superintendentof the Stratford and llford locomotive department , repeated tho evidence which he has before given . lie underwent a rigorous cross-examination by Mr . Rawlins and Mr . Hare . —He could not deny that it was his duty to have seen that Clare , being an occasional driver , should have been provided with the rules of the company , nnd that he had neglected to do so . He had been appointed to the situation which he held by Mr . Hudson , chairman ot the company ,

      Dy Air . Green ( foreman)—The highest rate at which we pay engine drhers is from 7 s . to 7 s . Cd . a day , the 7 s . Gd . being given to those who are the most competent men . The-engine drivers on other lines are paid at tha same Rate * Daniel Armstrong , John . Birch , servants of the company , and Mr , James Suuiuei , resident engineer , were examined in reference to the progress of the ttuck train from llford to Stratford . The usual signals had been shown , with the exception of tliOBe at the * Forest-gate station , one mile from Stratford , wh . ' ch had not been shown . There ought ( said Mr . Samuel ) Always to be signals exhibited at the passing of a trnht ; but if no signal was exhibited , then the driver of an en tfne would be justified in concluding the line to be ele V . The forest-gate had only been a station two month * . The

He ( Kitson ) spoke to-Clsre after «?* accident . He seemed greatly excited .

      Mr . Duncan said that he had no proof of this fact ready . He had sent for Mr . Marshall , but he did not wish that on this ground the inquest should be adjourned . The Coroner expressed a wish to bring the inquiry to a close that evening ; but 10 o ' clock having already struck , the proposition was strenuouily resisted by the majority of the jurors , ' and an adjournment to tea o ' clock the next morning was finally agreed upon .

      THE ADJOUKNED INQUEST , ( WEDNESDAY . ) On this investigation being- resumed , the Coroner addressed the Jury for some time , and then read ov « r the whole of the evidence to them , when several questions were put to him by the Jury , respecting the law in such eases , and which were explained to them by him . The Inquest room was cleared of strangers , and a deliberation lasting for about owe hour took place , when the Court was reopened , and The Foreman announced that the Jury bad unanimously agreed to return the following special verdict : — "The Jury are of opinion that the death of WilHaTn Hind was occasioned b y the reckless driving of William Clare , the driver of the Firefly engine , on the 18 th oi July instant , against whom , therefore , they return a verdict of' Manslaughter . '

      "The Jury desire also to record : their deliberate opinion that a degree of culpability attaches to the managers of the Eastern Counties Railway , in not taking due care that their own rules are most scrupulously observed , as regards the time of departure of one train after another from all the stations ; the exhibition of the signals at all the stations ; the keeping ef exact time in the arrival and departure of all the trains , and the ap . pointment of only thoroughly competent persons in all departments .
