lision on Sunday evening with a milk van near Wel- ford, doing great damage, and cutting up tho lino for somo distanco. It is customary to send tho break van with empty.milk cans by tho last train from Rugby'on Sunday nights to Wolford, whoro it is shunted across tho down lino into a siding, to bo loaded up with full cans tho next morning. Tho van was detached as usual, and whether it was not sent far enough or ran back‘ out ot tho siding was not when this report was prepared known, but by somo means it was standing across tho lino when tho mail leaving Peterborough at ten minutes past eight, duo at Rugby at forty-fivo minutes pastvnino, • dashed through tho station at 50 ’ miles nn hour, tho signals being all right for tho mail to pass. Wlicn tbo milk van was struck by tho engino tlio van was smashed to matchwood, and tho cans wero scattered over tho lino Ono of tho wheels of tlio van was broken, and, getting under tho mail engine, caused it to leave tho line. Tho carriages followed, and tho whole train ran 200 yards, ploughing up ballast and smashing tho permanent way beforo tlio foglno could bo brought to a. standstill.. Fortunately, there woro not many passengers. They woro principally Irish cattle dealers travelling to Dublin, and all of them es­ caped with nothing worse than a terrible shaking.


,Tlio engine-driver, John Stevens, of .PotorborougiL- and his fireman were jammed against tho ongino by tho coal from tho tender, which was thrown on to them by tho shock, but they too wero only slightly injured. Breakdown gangs from Rugby and Market Uarboro’ wero soon on tho spot, and were engaged during tho night In getting the train on the lino and repairing tho permanent way, which was seriously damaged. A special train sent from Rugby took tho passengers and mails to that station. Only two or threo persons complauied of' being hurt, but they went on on Sunday night, with tho exception of ono, who was able to proceed on Mond.ay morning. At fivo o’clock on ftlonday afternoon a train from


Bristol ran into a local train standing in Stockport aStation on tho London nnd North-Western RaUway. Tho engino of tho local train was seriously damaged. Tho passengers in botli trains experienced violent shocks, and seven or eight of them wero more or .leas severely injured.’ The most serious case was that of an elderly lady, Mrs. Sowthern, of Arbour-street, Stockport. She was conveyed homo after medical attendance.

Miss Bessio Bcllwood, music-hall singer, of 11, Gharlotte-strcct, Bcdford-squarc, has been summoned, foij assaulting a cab-driver named Willjam Shrlmptorf -King, on tbo 10th August. King, whose address'is'^ T3| Granby-streot, Hampstcad-road, was also sum­ moned for assaulting at tbo samo timo and place, Gcorgo Victor Drogo Montagu, commonly called Vj^ebunt Mandoville. Mr. W. H.’Armstrong; appeared for Miss'BoUwoqd


Bcllwood, who, on being sliown where sho was to stand, exclaimed, "What! in there?” and then took a seat, smiling round tho court. Mr. Bowker, in opening tho case, explained that


King had been a cab-proprictor, but ho was now a cab-driver, and for somo timo past bad been in tho habit of driving Lord Mandovillo. After a while hia lordship filed his petition in tbo Bankruptcy Court, but King continued to drive him, and proof of h!s claim was filed in tbo bankruptcy proceedings. -The matter was placed in tbo bands of a trustee, and at length it bccamo right and proper for IGng to SCO Lord Mandevillo and ascertain what was to bo dono about tho diirercnco of tho amount allowed by the trustee and tbo total claim. After


’somo difliculty bo discovered that bis lordship was residing with tho defendant at her .houso in Char: lotto-street.' Ho went tborei and after making* some inquiries of tho landlady was told th.at " Undo Kim,” supposed to bo ono of his lordship’s names, was in bed. Complainant waited, :and ultimately tho. de­ fendant camo out,'^folIowedby'Lord MandcVille, when tho scone detailed !n tho evidence was alleged to bavo taken placo. Kiog, in his evidence, deposed that on Aug. 1C bo


went to 11, Charlotte-street, where Lord Mandevillo and Miss Bcllwood lived and slept together. In con- scciucnco of what a Httio girl told him, ho avalted from about twelve till nine o’clock. ^ Ho then saw tho defendant como outand-go tbwar'ds’a. brougham,-fol-. lowed by Lord Mandovillo. Witness said, "My lord, I want to speak to you. What can you do about my debt, £59 15s. ? ” Lord Mandovillo replied, " I havo no money,” and nearly pushed him under the horso's head. Witness pushed him back, and tbo defendant then struck him in tho faco. Ho oxcIatmcd,,*fMi8s Bellwood, you havo assaulted m o ;’’ and her answer •was," Yes, and If you want any more you can havo it.” Tho next morning ho obtained a summons against her, and subsequently, received ono_. charging


, him with assaulting Lord Mandevillo...^'-' .; “ - *' By Mr. Armstrong: Tho trustee had allowed him


£18G 5s. Tbo balance ho claimed was for credit .given to Lord Mandovillo sinco. Ho thought it right


to go and wait outsldca houso when ho know that a 'man who owdd hlni money Was inside;; Ho took out tho summons fbr assault against'Miss'Botlwood him­ self. Ho knew then that Lord Mandovillo bad assaulted him, but did not deem It necessary to sum­ mon his lordship, who bad only pushed him. Miss Bellwood’s brougham was outside, waitiiig ior her, nnd tho coachman was on the box. Rc-examined: Miss Bollwood had frequently paid


liim sums on account of Lord Mandoyillo’s cab hire. Mr. Armstrong objected, and Miss' Bellwood ox-


claimed, " It’s cowardly; it’s villainous . can’t you stop that man ? ”


Mr. Bridge considered that the question arose out.


of cross-oxamination. Ro-oxamination continued: When bo applied for tho summons against Miss Bellwood ho did mention


that he had been assaulted by Lord lUandevillo; -1 l Robert Walls, a Btablcmao, said that on tho night


of Friday, Aug. 10, ho.bad just come out of his mows, in Charlotte-street, when ho saw King waiting. He observed Miss Bollwood and Lord Mandovillo como out. King stopped in between tliem and spoke to Lord Mandovillo. They pushed each other, and Miss' Bollwood wont up and struck King in tho face. -.King, had done nothing to Miss Bellwood. By Mr. Armstrong: Lord Mandovillo pushed King


first. King then pushed him against tho railings. * Willi.am Morrell, 31, Charlotto-strcot, Fitzroy-


squaro, a polish-maker, gave corroborative evidence, adding that Miss Bollwood went up and hit tho com­ plainant in tho faco—she punched him, literally punched him. (Laughter.) By Mr. Armstrong: Miss BeUwood did striko com­ plainant in the face, but Kiog afterwards s.aid it was


tho mouth. Mr. Armstrong: Oh, King afterwards said it was


tlio mouth ?—Witness ; Yes; but don’t you call tho


mouth part of tho l.aco ? (Laughter.) Airs. Sarah Cockram, 12, Charlotte-street,'Bedtord-


square, said on tho night in question .she allowed IGng to stand on her property. IIo was perfectly sober. After this occurrence sho saw blood on his faco. Mr. Armstrong: You aro not very good friends


with Miss BoUwood.your neighbour. ' You’ object to her dogs, don’t you ?—Witness: I object to a good many things. (Laughter.) Mr. Bowker: Among others, to dog fights on


Sunday, oh ? (Laughter.) Mr. Armstrong, for tho defence, said there was no doubt that King went to tins houso to levy black­


King had, perhaps, put himself in the wrong, but to call to collect a just debt was not levying black­


there was little doubt that' King, whoso claim was dented, thought that by his taking theso pro­ ceedings tho friends of Lord Mandevillo, who was the oldest SOD of tho Duko of Manchester, would bo in­ duced to come forward and square him. Mr. Bridge again interrupted, and deprecated tho


uso of tbo word ** square.” A man was not" squared” if a just dobt was paid him. Mr. Armstrong submitted that King’s action was


most illegal and improper, oven if moaoy wero owing to him. Miss Bollwood, if sho had committed an assault,.had only dono so-to protect her friend. Lord Mandeville.' ’ ' ^


. Mr. Bridge observed that it was tho first timo ho


had heard of a woman protecting her friend in this way. There wero two men together. Mr. Armstrong said there wero other friends of

Among tho remains .are a largo number of forms specifically identical with tho mammals from tho equivalent deposits of Pikonni in Attica, Baltavar in Hungary, and Maragha in Persia ; but thoro aro also somo now types, which aro of interest either from a distributional or a,purely zoological point of view. Among tbeso now-forms is a, species of ant- boar (Gryc^ero/H/.s)*‘^’hich is tho only roprosontativo of that genus yet known beyond tho Ethiopian region. A largo pangolin, which is estimated to havo been nearly three times tho size of tho West African A/ffzif's


is mado tho ,typo of . the now genus
