    RECORD OF THE WEEK . HOME AND COLONIAL . Consols left off last week at 92 } to 93 . The amount of bullion in the bank last week wa 9 307 , 403 / . less than the preceding week , being in all 14 , 127 , 873 / . The . news of events abroad , described in their respective places , caused a . rise in the funds as the week opened , Consols having got up to 93 to 93 £ , and a , corresponding improvement took place in the French funds : more gold left the bank at the commencement of the week , a sum of £ 20 , 000 having been withdrawn to send abroad . . / , The coroner ' s inquest on the deaths caxised by theKing ' s Cross explosion , was adjourned at the beginning of the present week , for a fortnight , the Government inspector not being present . According to two of the engineers , Messrs . Jay and England , the exp losion occurred through there not . having , been enoiigh water in the boile r ;¦; according to another , Mr . Anios , there must have been some original default in the boiler itself . We can easily understand that such an accident might occur through a cpmbina . 'tiion . of these causes . ¦ ; ... ' The latest accounts of the harvest tend to show that the yield has

    fallen short of the : average . The Road murder occupied prprninant attention as the week conv menced . Not only at home , but abroad , has the public mind been stirred by this terrible mystery . It is urged , on the one hand , that in such matters the routine coarse must be rigidly adhered , to ¦¦•¦ . on the other , that extreme cases require extreme proceedings . We certainly cannot see why ,, if the routine course is powerless to unfatlioin the qtnysteryi and discover the criminal , more efficacious measures of investigation should not be had recourse to . We think that the whole power of the state , ordinaryand extraordinary , may well bo brought to bear in clearing up such . a matter . : l £ i & e-0 ( overnment : h & r 0 ; theyqyre $ : . institute a moresearching ' ¦ ¦ ' inquiry , ' , they ought at once to exercise it ; and if they have not , they puglit to be invested , with ib by Parliament . Ii ' et it be remembered , that oil the efficacy -of pur police for bringing and

    criminals to justice , depends the safety of society--t ; he lives ; properties of the community .. Such a power as we indicate cannot be employed , for evil , because it is simply the power to inyestigatej . whatever inconvenionpe mayvatteiid it ^ can only weigh like dust in the balance against the good it must produce-in the long run / We shall ¦ watch , this subject narrowly , and return to it in ft more prominent article , accordingtothe coiirsia events may * a ^ P- ' , ' ¦ ' . ¦¦ „ ' Astheweek pponed > the qiiidnimes whoso mental pabulum is ..

    lordshi p then commanded the Usher of the Black Bod to summon her Majesty's Commons to the bar to hear her Majesty ' s commission for prorogation read . Colonel Clifford , the Yeoman Usher of the Black Bod , proceeded to the House of Commons , and summoned the House to the House of Peers to hear the Royal Commission read , and the House of Commons , represented by Mr . Ley and one or two clerks , proceeded to the House of Lords , when'it was announced to the Lord Chancellor that her Majesty ' s faithful Commons were at the bar . Sir J . Gc . Shaw Lefevre then advanced to _ the table , and read the Royal Commission , commanding the Boyal Commissioners present , in the name of her Majesty , to further prorogue Parliament to Thursday , January 3 , 1861 . The words " for the dispatch of divers and urgent affairs" being omitfced , the meeting of Parliament on that day will again be of a purely formal character . The Boyal Commission having been read , the Lord Chancellor , in the name of her Majesty the Queen , declared Parliament prorogued until Thursday , the 3 rd of January next . His lordship then declared the House adjourned .

    In the Berwick election scandal , the resumption of the inquiry into which was recorded in our last number , Mr . Disraeli has been this week examined , and explains away tlie charge made against him by Brodie , by stating that having received an application from that person to get justice done to him ( Brodie ) by the Government , he ( Mr . Disraeli ) gave him a note to Mr . Bose , a Conservative electioneering agent , requesting the latter to give the man a hearing . It seems that Mr . McGrall , the Berwick-on-Tweed man in the moon , has become non est t or , as Lord John Bussell would say , conspicuous by his absenpe , having written to say that he lias found it expedient to quit the country , as a sojoiu-n in JS " cwgale during the bmmal season would not ^ he bonsiders , be for the good of his health . Mr . Lpatham having applied for a new trial in reference to the Wakefield eiectipn , tlie Court of Queen ' s Bench has , after taking time to consider its judgment , decided in favour of granting the applicant a rule nisi . ¦'¦' . '¦ . ¦

    Another new trial has been applied for in an election case , Mi " . Edwin James haying moved for one on behalf of Bpyes , conyicted of bribery at Beverleyi The court took time , as in the preceding case , to consider its judgment , the . question raised being whether the uncorroborated evidence of one witness was sufficient to" convict of the offence charged . ¦"¦ .

He also , ir itrbducing '' Oriental laoli . ticSj " , observes that the late wivr with Russia , though it had cliecked the aggressions of that power , hiad riot R egenerated Turkey .
