An accident, attended with fatal coniequencee to two passengers and injuries to several *then, occurred yes terday morning riser he Hampton Janina station oa the Landes end North Western Railway. The 9.15 a.m. up train left Simi...haat at its usual hoar yesterday morning, and proceeded is doe course about a mile south of the Hampton Junction to • plan oalltd Berkewell cutting, La passing through which the ash-pan aad a portion of the ere-boa fell from the engine on to the Ine,and coming is contact with the frame work of the brake van, separated the latter from the eagle* and tender, and thnw it off the up-line arrow the down rails. At the same instant, and heron the carriages bad become ses tinas,. the 9.15 a.m. down-train from Leamington to Bir mingham met the cop-train, and Int cowing in contact with the brake van on the down rails, nest stnck the leading snood-class carriage end drove it on to the em bankment, detaching it from the other carriages and creating a terrible wreck. Two of the passenger in the second-clue carriage wen killed on the spot, and a third was very seriously injured. Several others were more or less shaken end hurt. _ The driver of I;i.up-train finding his engine and tender detached from the brake van, and obeerving the collision which immediately followed, came on to Coventry—a distance of four miles, as quickly la possible to obtain ma sirtance. From Coventry telegraphic intelligence of the accident was transmitted to Bkmiaghani, and in a very short time afterwards a large number of labourers ar rived from both these plum, and eamunenced clearing the line, _ _ The eeeend class carriage, struck by the engine of the down train, wu found to be driven up the embankment several feet, and within its broken ..imbers were discovered the bodies of two unfortunate peastogen quite dead, and one other seriously hurt. The remaining passengen I had escaped from the wreck, and were sitting on venous parts of the line. The names of the parties killed are Mr. Beddington, an egdeiss, of Birmingham, and a youth named Floyd, add to le es his way to college at (Word. The hentamistame that could be afforded was rendered by Mr. Mehiantsy the station master of Birmingham, by whose dimmers the parties most injured were placed on and ean= r o y Coventry.

The Nub* et the &Ewa train was not much injured by the eailisia Though of the rails, and deeply embedded in the peemseed way, it remained in an erect position, aid the Mb were so little disturbed that it was soon re placed yen the line. The debris having been armed away, the tulle was not materially interrupted, and mural of the possougers came on to London shortly after the aceident, _ _ It is hoped that beyond the casualties referred to nothiog of a serious character remains to bs told. The circumstances attending the accident went peculiarly unfortunate. Had the Leamington train been a few meads earder or later no scrims casualty would have occurred. The similarity of the catastrophe to that which occurred to the Tidal 'apnea train, near the Ileadoorn Station of the Bouth•Eastern Railway a few days since, cannot foil to be remarked, and it is believed they are the only accidents of a similar nature en record. --- 61pt.iiruyeres,supetiatendent of the southern division of the London and North-Western Railway, left town im mediately on receipt of the intelligence of the accident, to render the miasma in his power to the Injured parties.

Minor money order offices will be opened at the undermen tioned places on the respective dates named :—Crowland, Lincolnshire, (post town) Peterborough, to be opened on the 2nd of August; Hooky, Yorkshire, (post town) Hud dersfield, to be upene ton t he 6th of August ; Lembourne, Berkshire, (post town) Ilungerford, to be opened on the 3rd of August. On the 2nd of August the major money tinier office at Brough, Westmoreland, will be reduced to a minor money order office. N.B. Postmostcre are informed that in the instructions, No. 27, 18.52, it was erroneously stated that the minor money order Mitre, at Upper Mill, is situated in Lancarliire inrotad of Yorkshire. The necessary correct lion must be made in the list. In the books of mosey order offices, recently &tainted, it was also incorrectly stated that Heywood is served from Bury, Lancashire, instead of Manchester. The necessary correction must be made ac cordingly. Tug MILITIA.

In reference to this affair (says the Ease Herold) we are happy M being able to give a direst castadietioa to much of the statement. The parties who have been the. tradaced, and even compared with Borneo pirates, are the boatmen of Southend, in this county, whose deals of heroism have often been related in this journal. Two of their vessels only last winter received praises end reward for their gallantry in saving the lives of nine men from the rigging of • easel sunk ow the Mouse sand; mad fur years, through danger end fatigue, they have earned an honest reputation aertainly far ci vility and good manner, they have well earned the respect of the iababiteats sad of all the visitors I. that wasting-plus. Bishop MAlao who has always proved the fri en d of th e fi s h ermen o f this district, has lactated himself, with others, on behalf of the boat men, whole characters they oonaider have been in this instance most vilely maligned. They have bad an inter , view with Admiral Piney, and explained to him the real state of the case; but as the men art not likely to be brought beton a public tribunal, where they might ate their characters, they have adopted the uuly remedy in their hands, by making a declaration of facts, which has been attested Dr. }Wen as a justice of the peace fur this meaty. T h e publica tion of this document, of which the following is a copy, will, we here, set the public mind at rest with regard to the real maitre of the transaction in question, which it is said has been painted in the darkest colours fur particular purposes by interested parties. In fact, had aot the boatmen acted as they did, ao portion of the wreck would have been saved. The foUewiag is the declaration of the Southend boat er: "That a• Sunday morning, the 26th inst., we discovered the masts of a schemer shove water on the east end of the Non sand, aad that u soon as our vessels amid get under weigh, we pruseded to render assistance. That when we approached the wreck, we discovered a whale boat alongside, and three men unbending *ails in the rigger/. One of the men informed as be was mate of the vessel ; that she was inured • end that as Mr. Edge comb', of Sheerness, was going to sand off a vessel to save the stoma, we were not to IA her. We replied, that, as no vessel was in sight coming from Sheenier, and that it was impossible to sue math in a whale boat, and that as she was going down in the sand as fast as the tide ebbed, he had better loot to work fee the benefit of the owners and underwriters, mad come on board us and take account of what we took in. - "TtliWthe .ate than watt es board 050 of oar vessels, the now Dart, when he gave us all the necessary directions, sad ha also assisted to teed that easel himself. He also told as when to dud sissy Wrap we hooked up from below. " That while we were ',employed, Mr. Edgecombe and the septet!' emu off from Sheernem, is another whaleboat. The latter said, ' What ate you tnth,' that stay he T . We replied,' We are not; only the seizing'; we are seeding everythiag down, so that it us go aloft again.' Mr. Zags comb. said, ' I want the luau of all these vessels.' We said we would give them to hiss. He replied, ' No, I'll take them myself.' He then returned to absentees, taking the cousin sad crew with him, and neither did he nor the ors of the vemel blame as or UAW us to _proceed. " That as the tide rue It obliged as to des ist, and we left to return home. We then maw a government steamer pro ceed towards the smelt, the boats frets which came to us, and ordered us to take the thiap to Shunter. This we refused to do, as we remembered similar sues of goods placed in Mr. Edgeeembe's basis, for which we never re ceived any salvage remuneration. We Geld we were on the way to report the to Mr. Hoy, the receiver, at South end and we ly went home, having soldiers put on booed us by Mr. Edgesenibe's direction. " That so reoeltig Southend we reported the goods to the receiver, and delivered to him the milk rigging, and lIS whims' of cargo, and reinested him to protect our interests, ups whisk be called in the ocastinard officer at Senthend, aid required Mr. Edgeconshe to leave the goods in his maseedy. " That the sent day, and not till then, we again pro ceeded to Me wreck at the proper time of tide, sad saved 46 more pasha's' aad • ten sad • half of iron, which we also delivered to the receiver according so law. " That en Toesday, on remelting to the wreck with diving apparatus, we found a government steamer, who.e orders were to prevent our ping to the wreck, and we were in eanuiptesios unable to pave any mere cargo. " That the stereo taken to Soothed have been most carefully secured, so that the receiver state' that he never had charge of any so little injured. Everything was nature' Si far u pesdble, and not a thread or stay has been out. The foremast, being unsafe, was cut away, and, in (Laing, accidentally broke away the mainmast. " That ao vessels came at all from Sheeran' to render any assist.-., air was Mr. Edgeoombe able to mean any, is the middle of Tuesday, two souls came up from Whitetabie, and even these were unable, from the state of the weather, to attempt to save any of the cargo until Friday.

MINISTERIAL INTIMIDATION. —The contest at Bury, between Mr. F. Peel and Lord Duncan, has been productive of meek political nmeour and spiteful retalia tion, • very extraordinary manifestation of which has just been brought to light. The Earl of Derby was possessed of three small houses in Newmarket, Bury, tenanted by an elector named Janne Radiant, butcher, and two non electors—John Burrows, • confectioner, and Thomas Entwiale. Daring the election the gut was guilty of call ing out " Duncan for ever; " the second hung up in his shop • list of voters distasteful to the Peel party ; and the third adorned his person with a Duncan rosette. Previous to and throughout the election, it is necessary to state that Lord Derby's agent ranged himself with the supporten of Mr. Peel, and on the 23rd of July, after ample time had been given—and, no doubt, use d communicate with Lord Derby, the elector and two non-electors above named wore each of them served with the usual notice by Thomas Stater, agent on behalf of the Earl of Derby, to quit their taninnenn at the end of the ensuing week. CLONING OP BUNIIILL-YIELDS BURIAL GROUND.— A notice has this week been issued that no further inter ments will take place in Bunhill-gelds Burial-ground, ex cept in family graves and vaults; which announcement has riven great satisfaction to the inhabitants of the immediate locality, who have long complained of the state of the I Would in question, which has for may years past been overcrowded. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Funx.—The wheat crop veriee exceedingly, u different deouriptious of soil and modes of cultivation pea rl!. Upon the whole, we shall undoubtedly have a full average croon , but no more; and slthough it is difficult to pronounce decidedly, we have no hesitation in stating that such is the fullest extent of our anticipations. Barley is extensive in breadth, and will undoubtedly be a most pro- ductive crop. The sample, as previously stated, will be ex ceedingly variable in quality ; some samplem of the automat sown have appeared, and are very line. The crop of oats will also be a productive one—greater, in all probability, than has happened for many years past. The com mon field tea differs greatly in productiveness. Those that were autumn sown are generally good, and in many instances will be a great crop. The later sown were more or leas affected with mildew and the limbic es singly or together, conoquently this crop will fall below an average one. The bean crop will also be deficient, the great breadth of winter beaus, for the most part, being long 11111/11 ploughed up ; and from this circumstance the depres sion in price upon barley, from its being an abundant crop, will not be so likely to follow, as a large portion will be re • spired for feeding purposes, and that description of Far must be substituted. Canary promises to be abundant but castaway has proved an indifferent crop. The crop of clover, as a hay crop, was deficient, nor does the aftermath promise to be large; but the disposition of this plant to produce seed is greatly as sisted by the hot weather that prevails, and will probably result in a good crop. The crop of gram was upon the whole quite equal to expectation ; the rapidity of growth that took place wr beyond precedent, aud, with the addi tion of fine weather for converting it into hay, we fairly conclude that this crop will be found eatisfactory both as to quantity and quality. The swedish turnips, as well as all the common varieties, promise abundantly. The hop grower is likely to be well remunerated; the grounds are Ira affected by blight than usual, and the weather is ex ceedingly propitious towards the realisation of an abundant crop ; and, us the old stock has become much reduced, it is expected that present prices will be nearly maintained.— Ears Slandard. WILLI) OF KlNT.—Binge Our last agricultural report the weather has been meat favourable fur all meta of &gra riaa noontime, sad has enabled the farm/ to secure a good crop of meadow hay, clover, seeds. Be., in fine condi tion. The barley and oat plantati..ns are looking well, and sager a more weighty and plentiful return than was at one time anticipated. We are sorry we are not justified in Ping the same language is describing the pea and bean Bads, • species of dolphin, acting in concert with a wide spread blight, having committed great and destructive mirages on the crop, which, however unwelcome the fact may be, forms good ground for the belief that both of these descriptions of grain will become scarce ere mother season enables the husbandman to try and proems a better crop. The wheat grounds now pre sent • most niagn•fiaent appearance ; nature, from her " wardrobe of clothing of various hues," has replaced the " beauteous livery of green " iawhich she first clothed the plant, with a "brown autumnal hue," and if any estimate of the yield can now be formed from en ocular survey, the welcome fact develops itself, that this year's growth of wheat wilt be unusually productive in quantity and rich in quality. The sickle will be put in in a few days. In some few places the potato plant has manifested • peteohial and livid appearance, which is indicatory of a return of dime.; should the weather, however, continue dry, we believe that a very large proportion of this valuable esculent will be se cured quite free from any imperfections. Other esculents are looking promising, and doing well. Plums are very 11 ratty. Peers will be scarce, but we are very much in epee that the apple (which is by far the most important of the three fruits IN much required by domestics) will not deny its golden contribution to the fruitery of the grower. In the aggregate the year 1852 promises to be plentiful in its earthly productions.—Maidarane Journal. SCOTLAND.—It would be difficult to convey an adequate idea of the weather we have enjoyed during the past month to those who have not witn msed it; and scarcely less diffi cult to describe the luxuriance with which the land is covered. Till within the last eight days we had frequent genial rains, always accompanied and followed by • bland and warm state of the atmosphere, the effect of which is a prospect of abundance In every district of the coun try, greater, perhaps, than has ever been witneased in Iketlaad. Wheat, barley, oats, beans, turnips, potatoes, sat pastures, are almost equally promising and luxu riant; and if the present crop be but safely housed, there will be no exaggeration in estimating its bulk as at least 16 per cent. grouter than was ever before produced in the northern pert of the kingdom. This abundant prospect has had its effect on our grain markets, which have under gone a serious amount of depreciation, and completely de pressed the spirit of speculation. Small patches of barley have been cut, and samples exhibited. This, however, is almost exclusively autumn sown, mil although of good colour, is small in the grain, and deficient in weight. The practice of sowiag barley in autumn, however, is so rare and exceptional as not to admit of its being included in the estimates of the general crop. If the present dry and bright weather continue, the sickle will be pretty generally, at work in the earlier districts et this country by the 9th. Wheat and barley, with a few exceptions, will come on pretty much together. Oats in various situations are also beginning to colour. Beery description of stock is in good health and condition.—Caledoisian Mercury. VICTORIA LONDON DOCK. Yesterday the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the above easpany was held at the Dips of Mews.

No section of the new Irish members hie yet ventured to suggest any system of combined salon in parliament except on the tenant-right question, relative to which some steps were taken at a meeting of the Tenant League Council yesterday. Mr. Ken nedy, the new M.P. for Louth, presided; and et the motion of Mr. Brady, M.P. for Leitrim, seconded by Dr. Gray, it was resolved : That it is essential to the due conduct end adveseement of the tenant cause that a conference of the leading friends of tenant right, in and out of parliament, be held prior to the assembling of the new parliament, and therefore that the said conference be held in Dublin, on Wednesday, the Bth day of September, and that all the members of the Council of the League, the leading friends of the cause throughout the country, and all the Irish mem b cre w ho hare expired themselves favourable to the principles of Sharman Cmwbrd's bill, be earnestly invited to attend. All those members who are in any way indebted foe their mats to the tenant-right pledgee which they gave on the hustings, are especially invited and ex pected to attend; and it is hoped that the occasion may be made available for healing the jealousies by which the Irish party in parliament has of late been divided. Accounts of the progress of the potato disease form, unfortunately, the most important items of Irish news at present. From the provincial journals received this morning I . gleari the following parti culars. The Oprk Examiner says : We regret to say that we have heard from quarters too various to admit the idea of an **founded apprehension, accounts of the oecurrence of the potato disease, In some places to a greater and in others to s less extent. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to show what degree of virulence or over what area the apparent symptoms effect the sound ness and produce of the crop, sod it must be remembered that in other years the former have been present without being attended with any very injurioits effect upon the latter. ' The Clare Journal contains the followinN: We regret to mention that the potato crops in different parte of the country have suffered very much from blight. The fogs that have prevailed very gearrally for the last fortnight have, it is said, contributed to the disease. In many parts the blight has been very rapid, and the effluvia from the gardens very offensive. It is to he regretted, too, that the people have entirely confined their towings to the potato and neglected the turnip crop altogether. The Newry Telegraph says : Unhappily the actual existeece of the plague is now so palpable that disbelief or doubt can no longer obtain. Be fore our eyes we have convincing evidence, and from every quarter we receive the one sad report as to the return of the visitation and the rapidity of its destructive operation. It is to be hoped that early planting having been so almost universal the disease may find somewhat of a counteraction in the state of maturity to which the potato has now reached. The Boyle Gazette says : We are concerned to say, end we do so with deep regret, that the potato generally, and particularly that kind known as the 't Lumper," appears much injured. 'file stalks in moat instances have the appearance of decay, and emit an offensive smell, which such, for the Met lew years, presented in eel latter end of August. We would not be meek alarmed at the appearance and indication of decay (know ing as we do that the potato was pat do w n muc h earlier then the people were in the habit of doing), were it not that our attention hes been, by observing persons, directed to it; and that we have met at table, within the lest tea days, unmistakeable proofs that the life.preeerving esculent is nut free from disease. The market in Boyle se at pre , sent well supplied with potatoes of every kind, from 34d. to sd. per stone of lithe. , and with few exceptions of good quality, but we have been enured that the large supply is owing to the fears apprehended !topsoils( the result.

FRENCH RESEARCHES AT NINZVEII.—The Minister of the Interior has received farther moments of the ex plorations, which are being carried on by M. Place, Consul of France at Nossul, in the ruins of Nineveh. In addition to large statues, ben-reliefs in lambi*, pottery, and articles of jewellery, which throw light es the habits and customs of the inhabitants of the ancient city, he has been able to examine the whole of the palace of libeliabad and its de pendents, sad in so doing has elucidated some doubtful point., and obtalaed proof that the Assyrians were not rat of any of the resources of architecture. He has discovered a large gate twelve feet high, which ap poses to have been One of the calmness to the city, several emistruatioos in marble, two sews of columns, apparently extending a considerable distance, the cellar of the palsies still containing regular rows of jars, which had evidently been flied with wine—and at the bottom of which jars then is still a sort of deposit of a violet colour. M. Place has, moreover, discovered the storehouse of pottery, containing sedans articles. In addi , owl to all this, he bin caused excavations to be made in the hills of Brieltiecha, Kansans, Tea Lethal, Rettig, Karakock, Digen, &c., on the left bank of the Tigris, within ten leagues from Kborsabed. In them he has found monuments, tombs, jewellery. sad some articles in gold and other metal and stone. At Dgigiran there is a monument, which. it is supposed, may turn out to be es large as that of Khonabad. At Miami, and at a place called Ilarrian, M. Place has found law:diets out in solid rock ; they consist of a number of colossal figures and of a series of tall-length portraits of the Kings of Ample. M. Place has taken copies of his discoveries by means of the photographic pro erne ; sad he announces that Colonel Rambling has autho rind him to make diggings near the *sees which the Eng lish are engaged inane/mining. EMIGRATION PROM THE WEST INDIES TO ADS TRAUA.—We have been favoured with the following ex tract from a private letter, written by the principal of an eminent mercantile firm in Bt. Vincent, to a commercial house in Liverpool :—" Hader the impression that the in formation may interest you, I may mention that the last news received from England, with reference to Mistrals, has created a good deal of excitement here ; and one of our best houses—the highly respectable and wealthy firm of Hughes and Todd—have advertised that their new barque ' the Despatch, Al, will leave this island on or about the 15th of September next for Port Philip or Sydney, provided Irmo eighty to a hundred passengers can be obtained, a$ 601. for cabin and' .5/. steerage. Several respectable people talk of going in the Despatch. Should an extensive emigre tion of our best people tate place, it must tend very con siderably to assist the retrograde movement which is taking Place in the West India colonies." LONDON AND Non= WESTERN EAILWAY.—The directors propose to create a certain amount of debent u re stock, to be issued in substitution of an equal amount of existing borrowed capital, under the set of parliament pared for the purpose last session, and to attach' thereto a Axed pattual_yearly dividend.
