GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL- WAY. At four o'clock yesterday morning a rather serious collision occurred at Banbury.

A fire broke out about a quarter to four o'clock yes- terday morning in a lodging-house in Wentworth-street, Whitechapel. Before the people in the upper part of the house were aroused, their escape by the staircase was cut off by the flames, and they had to jump from the windows. Two young men in doing so fell head foremost on the pavement, and were so seriously in- jured that they are not expected to live. At another fire in Houndsditch this morning, a fireman named Cbatterton rescued eight persons from the burning house, having in doing so to make four successive ascents of his fire-escape—to the first, second, and third floors, and to the attics.

The fourth tea anniversary of this church was held last even- ing, when a large number of members and friends partook of the cheering cup, and enjoyed the social meeting After tea, a meeting, equally pleasant, though of a more formal character, was held. Addresses were delivered, chiefly relating to the education of children. By arrangement these addresses followed each other in a sequential order, that dealing with the care and governance of the child at home being followed by another treat- ing of his school career and so on up the "ladder of life," until its end was reached. Appro- priate to the occasion, instructive in-' matter, and pregnant with lessons of the greatest value to those to whom they were addressed, these addresses formed an important and useful characteristic of the anniversary. Musical performances agreeably enlivened the proceed- ings. PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS. -At the police court, on Wednesday, before Messrs. R. 0. Jones and W. D. Bushell, David Williams, landlord of the London Tavern public-house, Crockherbtown, was charged with permitting drunkenness in his house, on the 24th ult.

He then left, after seeing things quiet. At five minutes to twelve he was again called in by defendant to stop the same parties, who were fighting 11 again. He went in company with Sergeant Lewis, and cleared the house. The landlord was present on both occasions. Mr. Stephens, who defended, called two wit- nesses. George Phillips said, at half-past eleven he was at the London tavern. He saw two men there having words about the singing of a song, but did not think they were drunk. James Davis said he saw two men wanting" to fiyht but saw no blows struck. Mr. Williams did his utmost to prevent a row. The defendant was fined 5s. and costs.

LOJNDOiSi CORN MARKET.—WEDNESDAY. WHEAT.—The depressed tone prevalent on Monday was apparent to-day, and tendency of value was towards further reduction. The show of English wkeat was scanty, and out of condition, while the arrivals from abroad were only moderate. Trade was inac'ive, and prices generally favoured buyers. BARLEY of all kinds was dull and drooping in value. MALT was quiet, at about late rates. OATS and MAIZE were taken off slowly at the reduced rates of Monday last. BEANS and PEAS were disposed off with difficulty, at previous quotations. The FLOUlt trade was slow, and priees were barely sup- ported ———

CARMARTHENSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES. His Lordship took his seat on Wednesday morning at half-past ten, when the first case taken up was the charge of SENDING THREATENING LETTERS.—James Phillips (on I r's bail) was charged with sending a letter to Mr T. H. Terrell, Judge of the Carmarthenshire County Court, in the month of June last, threatening to burn his house. The indictment also included a charge of sending other threatening letters, one to Mr. Mitchell of Cardigan, and another to Miss Lloyd, formerly his landlady. Mr. Giffard and Mr. Coleridge appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bowen and Mr. B. T. Williams for the defence. Among the witnesses called was Mr. Terrell, who stated that he had frequently had occasion te give judgment adverse to the prisoner; and Mr. Charles Chabot, the expert, who said he had compared the threatening letters with several other letters admitted to be in the prisoner's handwriting, and from various peculiarities in both sets, he had no 0 doubt they were all written by the same person. Of the other witnesses called, several said they believed the threatening letters to be in the prisoner's handwriting, whilst two or three of them could offer no opinion. Mr. Bowen, for the defence, called several respectable wit- nesses, who deposed that they were familiar with Phillips's handwriting, and, on examining the threatening letters, expressed their belief that they were not written by the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, which elicited some applause in court. Much interest was taken in the case, the court being crowded thoughout the day.

THE QUEEN AND HER SERVANTS. The Queen, who bad contemplated iiislituling a medal as a reward for long or faithful service among her Majesty's domestic servants, has inaugurated the institution by conferring on Mr. John Brown, her per- sonal attendant, a medal in gold, with an annuity of E25 attached to it, as a mark .of her appreciation of his presence of mind, and of his devotion on the occasion of the attack made upon her Majesty in Buckingham Palace Gardens on the 29th ult.

MR. BRIGHT ON THE INCOME TAX. A deputation from the Birmingham Anti-Income Tax Association had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to represent their views. Mr. Bright was invited with the other borough members to join the deputation, and in reply he has sent the following letter to the honorary secretary to the move- ment ;— Rochdale, March 4, 1872. Dear Sir,-I regret to say that I shall not be able to be in town on Wednesday, and therefore I cannot take part in the proposed deputation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. There is little real difference of opinion as to the odious and unfair character of the income tax but it is not easy to see where the money is to be obtained which now comes from that tax. I see no chance of its abolition except in lessened expenditure, and at present there seems no probability of the creation of a political party resolved to lessen the expenditure, and adopting that policy as the one great article of its creed. I do not believe in Governments that cannot govern without taking seventy millions every year from the industry of the nation, and I hope the time will come when no such Government will be permitted to exist. For myself, I should be ready to vote for such reduction of expenditure as would enable the Chancellor of the Exchequer to re- move the income tax or to abolish the taxes which add so greatly to the price of tea, coffee, and sugar.—I am, truly ^°TO'G. W. Plant, Esq. •*>„„ B™

THE DURHAM COI,LIERS AND THE WAGES QUESTION. The coal owners of the county of Durham have had a second conference with a deputation from the Durham Miners' Association to discuss the question of wages and other matters. The yearly bond is now abolished and after some discussion it was agreed that a fort- night's notice on either side should be sufficient to ter- minate to an agreement. With regard to wages, the men asked for an advance of 35 per cent. on the prices paid in April, 1871; or that an average should be struck between the rates of wages at present in force in South Lancashire and Northumberland, ani that an advance should be made in wages in Durham sufficient to place them on a footing with the rates of remuneration in those two counties. The masters, however, offered to make the advance 20 per cent. on all prices over and above the "consideration money" paid in April last. The mem- bers of the deputation informed the employers that they could not accept the offer made, their instructions from the body of the men they represented being only to accept an advance of 35 per cent. and nothing else. The question of wages not being settled, other subjects, including the hours of labour for boys, &c., were left over.
