This was the testimony of Hamilton, which was cm- Hamilton by the the evidence of the defendants themxelves. n stated that on Thursday, the ith of March, Carer was in a sinking state, but tranquil, until harassed by the conduct of the priest and Cooke. On this day Brown had called upon Hamilton and was about to leave when a knock was heanl at the door and upon being opened, tour perwaos appeared, Cooke, door, priest, Miss Clarke, sad Joseph Hay. liarniltuu communicated to them the instructions of t'arre that he should not be disturbed, at which Huldstoe k became very angry, saying "'tis • lie, it wwat do, I have had enough of you," pushed Hamil ton aside and rushed up stairs to the sick man's room. That llohlidock did enter the room in spite of the oppneition of , Hamilton and was admitted. Hamilton followed him up stairs remonstrating at kis conduct, and Brown at the request of Hamilton accompanied him. A planet the room and also a drawing showing her:feared were produced , and inspected by the court.

The priest talked to Carry in French, a language not under- Mood by the other persoris present. Hu spoke with great, vehemence, and seemed to urge Carr* to du something which he was reluctant to do. The priest at length turned round and said, " Ile will settle now ; fetch the other parties." Hamilton want fur the other persons who had I rim - with the priost, who then directed Brown to leave the room, but Cooke, in a soothing and deprecating tone, said, " 100 lo t hito stay." The use of French was ethanol.

The priest thereupon left the bedside of Cane, and with great vehemence of manner laid his hand up on Cooke, weal pulled him down so as Si resent him iu the chair, isayiiiir at the same time, " I insist upon the loonies. heistit boohoo' before I leave this room." The excuse which this aff.arded for the conduct of Cooke was that be was overtone• by the priest, and rotnpelled to allow the business to proceed. There was conflicting evidence on the question wle tier the whole of the deed was read, but from ! the situation& in which the persons were placed in the nom, , it could hardly he doubted that Caen , did not distinetly bear, and it was eleer he dial not dietineCy understand the ; astute of the alassl. The witness, Hamilton, stated t h at when Cooke ranee to that lent of the deed in which 40f. was to the pria-st, hr read it thus, " I give to the Rev.

Ili ttttt 'ton stated that he and Brown were surprised anal shocked at the eapreesion, and signified their feeling to earl' other by gestures. When the pen was placed in Cam , . haul, lie said, " I did nut know I should tease had so mue"i tnoulole." And after he had signed the , deed be said, " eippose it will remain just , the same. It will nut go from me, will it, until lum dead." Cooke , replied, "It will remain the same. It can't be touched till after your death ; you eau alter it at any time you like." This question and reply was not only proved by the evi• deuce of Hamilton and linown, hut was corroborated by the principal witness for the defendant, one Horton, who Was \ also introduced into the rasa. It was hie (the learned comieelh) painful duty to say this went beyond that tis. ti which he had been content to limit himself ' in deocribia: the conduct of these parties. The reply thus given was ini.eisistent with truth and honesty. The fund did not remain the scone. It trausferruil from the teetater ; it could be towhee' ; it was oily the dividends which could not be of in Carri'a lifetime. The deed could nut he altered at any time; for it required assistance, advice, and a copy of the deed :of all which he was deatitute. The wit s... Hamilton thought the &cements executed were a will in two parts and the lower attorney. Caere had evi dently believed that the documents would he left with him, sad that the power of attorney will the instrument he de signed for Ilamiltom to receive his dividends, and he asked that they Phonate" he left with hiss. Cooke said, "I ; cannot leave these two with you, but I can leave you this one. ;" and he presented to fohl up the dead soul the power of attorney, as if Moron Is take it away. This manifested to the old man that it could not be the power which he had de.in‘l. This again rowed Carr'siuilignatioa, and I be exclaimed, o W here is the power of attorney I &wired you to bring. to get Haruilem to fetch the money as 1 told you on Mouiliy." At this Cooke looked confuse), and said he hail sosieunderetemel him and would grt a power for Out porno... Caere then said, " I don't want you to re etive the money." Hamilton then observed that Carve had desired that he (Ilamiltoon) should he executor, and to have all the inawaey in the 'pew for his trouble. Cooke observed , to the testator, •• I opine.. you mean him to have the goods and not the ino ttt y." When Canoe replied, "Money and all, does he not tell you so!" the priest then suggested that this might be duo, by a codicil, and a codicil was pre pared lay the priest conotaining the bequest and also the legacy of ;AM. to Cooke, and was executed after Cooke had left the room. On leaving the house, Caoke &eked Hamilton lonorene from l'arni out of the divi dends when received lat., which he (Cooke) bad paid fur stamp., but which the prie-t afterwards hold Ilanielan he would settle. .Itle•r Cooke and the priest and the others hal left the. room Hamilton and Drown /Maine's!, anal Carry said, •• They have dime what they liked, hut i shall make • fresh will." .

The next arlidavat was that of Mr. Crompton, the stock broker ot Carr..., who, when instructed by Hamilton to prepare a power of attorney for the receipt of the divi dends on the Consols be the latter, thought it his duty, trims his knowledge of Carry's habits, to call m o d .eseertain his wishes from himself, =tly, wh , sei Carte told him that it was all right. 00l aseiteel went through the afftdant of Brown, which in its material particulars corroborated that of Hamilton, so far as Brown wee adverting to the evidence of Miss Clarke., where it tended to corroborate that of the other Witnesses. Miss Clarke testified to the desire ex pressed by Conkr to proceed no further, and to leave the papers with l'arre ; that Hamilton then seemed to wish that no delay should take place; that Cooke seemed annoyed. and continued to decline to proceed any further; that ,afterwards, at the request of the persons present, Cure iityearinit to irlfer no objection, Cooke proce'e'ded to mid the instruments. Mime Clarke stated that she gave particular attention to what took place, as it oectineel to her she might some day be called upon to give evidence in j a court of justice on the subject. It was now getting dark, I anal Cooke proceeded to read the deed by the glimmering light of the' candle on the table, and the deed was signed, sa was stated lov the' priest himself, he (the priest) holding i l'arre up by time left hand behind his back, and with hi.

The next MBank was that of Francois Metairie., describing the communications between Cooke and the others of the relatives, and the diffi culty, owing to their ignorance of the English language, and the carrying out of the design of concealing from Carry's Testate., the circumstances connected with this deed of trust, of sliscorering the particulars of the trims:n inon. Ile further stated that they lodged at the home of a Mr. Bpencer, at Camberwell, who discouraged them from linit, by saying that " the courts of justice in Eng idera• only hir the rich." 'Their pecuniary means were likewise 'mato hut, and they were recommended to an English nobleman, with whom they haul an interview, who saw their rights and introduced them to the solicitor who new meted for them.

This was an inquiry to wets damages in an action brought in the Court of Exchequer, to recover compensa tion for false imprisonment. The defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, and the damages were laid in the declaration at 5004 Mr. Pearson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. derjoant Chadwick Jones was for the defendant. Mr. Nonni, in Mating the case to the jury, amid his client was a )01.1,111( won do of very respectable character and con nexion., and the dasisdaat was the landlord of tho Omen Dragon public-home, in the Belvidere-rod, Lasalooth, and the eireinnoanees ander which the action was brought were of a very aggravated character.

Court of Chancery. This income sot being sufficient, to maintain the family in a proper degree of respectabßlM, the plaintiff came to London to learn the business °Ca dressmaker, being in posseraion of a little money; b ail s oon }hand that that mode of getting a livelihood was, at a very precarious nature, and she determined to sliaadati k. and, with the money she had in her possession, and a litffie she espected to receive from her friends, to enter lots business as a cuffse-shop keeper. Accordingly she ex amined the newspapers in the hope of ending advertised for sale some business of that kind, and at length she ascer tained that two or three coffee-shops were to be disposed of iu the neighbourhood of the Belvidere-road. On the 27th of January she was in that locality making inquiries with reference to the coffee-slops which were for sale, when she met the defendant, with whom she had been before ac quainted, and in the course of their conversation he ascer tained from her the object she had in view, and he professed to have great anxiety for the success of her undertak ing, assuring her that he would render her all the assistance his experience and his knowledge of the neighbourhood would enable him to do. The plaintiff thought this very kind of him, and at once assented to a proposition be made to accompany her to her lodgings, in order that he might see the advertisements t hat had in. duets! her to make the inquiries she was then prosecuting, and they went to 33, Sutton-street, where she occupied a first-floor apartment. Whilst there the plaintiff began to suspect his motives, from the fact of his appearing parti cularly desirous of knowing what amount of money she had in her possession and how much she expected to receive from her friends, and her suspicions were increased when he asked her to treat him to some wine or brandy-sad water. This she declined to do, and on the defendant looking at the advertisements she pointed out to him he said they were all fraudulent, and she had better have nothing to do with them. On leaving the house the de fendant induced her to go with him to • public-house, where they had brandy-and-water, and on leaving that house the defendant said to the plaintiff, " Give me back that diamond ring you have stolen from me." She , indignantly denied that she had stolen any ring from him, upon which, being then in the Lower Marsh, he called a policeman and gave her into custody. She was ! taken to the police-station in Tower-street, where the de (cadent formally made the charge against her, and signed the charge sheet. Her lodgings were searched, but no ring was found there, and the defendant having said he believed she had thrown it away at a particular spot, search was made there but without suteces. The plaintiff was sub mitted to the indignity of being stripped naked, and every article of her clothing searched, but with no better success, and she was locked up in a cell for the night. On the fol lowing morning she was conveyed before the lion. O. C. Norton, at the Lambeth Police-court, who discharged her, the defendant not amsairing to support the charge. The learned counsel said the ring had never existed but in the defendant's own imagination, and submitted that the amount of damages set forth in the declaration would scarcely be sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for the serious injury she bad sustained at the hands of the defend ant, though the main obji et of the plaintiff was the vindica tion of her chanuttr. The facts relative to the imprisonment of the plaintiff at the instigation of the defendant, and her subsequent di,- charge by the magistrate in consequence of the non-appear ance of the defendant, were then proved in evidence. The jury, after hull a minute's consideration, gave a ver dict for the plaintiff—damages 101. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YEfrrERDAY. RVP/IIIITSICIIIII7 Costinwireasas IN 14E EDWARD KENEAI.II.

HOME CIECUIT.-CHELMSFORD, MARCH 6. (sown silo -moose Lost, Cher herpes C,israst.t. THE PoI.,),:INGS AT CLAVEItINO. Sarah Chrthaoll, 41, widow, was indicted for the capital offence of feloniously administering to Richard Chesham, her husteind, a quantity of arsenic, with intent to murder lam. Thin ease created a good deal of interest on account of the terrible celebrity gained by the prisoner, and the re putation she had of being a professed poisoner. She was tried in 1847 at these assizes upon a charge of poisoning two of her children, hut although the evidence was most cogent, and left very little doubt of her guilt, she obtained a verdict of acquittal upon that occasion. She has since then been implicated in another charge of poisoning, when she again escaped justice and in 1819, a woman, named I May, who was convicted of poisoning her husband, and who was executed for that offence, admitted after her conviction that she had been instigated by the prisoner to the con mission of the dreadful act for which she suffered. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prosecution. The prisoner had no counsel, but one of the gentlemen of the bar, at the request of the court, put such question, to the witnesses as she suggested to be material, but which I elicited nothing of the least importance. Sarah Chesham deposed that she was the mother of the deceased, auil at the time of his death she occupied part et the same cottage with him and the prisoner at Clavering, In this county. She then proceeded to make the following statement. I remember my son being very ill in the winter of 1849. lie was first taken about that time, and he con tinued ill until the following May, and he died in that month. I was in the house with him shortly before his death. lle was nut able to feed himself for several days before he died, and the prisoner used to feed him with milk thickened with Hour or rice. I saw the prisoner give her husband something on the day before he died, hut I do not know what it was. The prisoner did not like anybody but herself to feed him, and she always did so. The deposition of Mr. Willing, who was at the time re lieving officer of the union, of which Clavering is a portion, and who has since died, was then put in and read. It was to the eff, et that the prisoner applied to him for an order for the doctor for her husband, and he gave her one, and he subsequently repeatedly visited the deceased at his cottage. He always complained of pain in the chest, of continual vomiting, and also that his body was swollen, and that [his bowels were constantly out of order, and that he always Mt sick. Upon one occasion he showed him his body, I which appeared swollen to nearly double its or dinary Pile, and his arms and legs appeared like those of a skeleton. The prisoner pulled down the bed clothes to let him see her husband, and while he was looking at him, she exclaimed, " Poor thing, be will not be a trouble to any one long." She also told him that the deceased was continually vomiting, and that if h e got better fur a day or two, he always relapsed again, and became worse than before. Mr. Ilawkes said—l am the medical officer to the Saffron Walden Union, and, by direction of the relieving officer, I attended upon the deceased during his illness. I first saw him about the 11th of February, and he complained of di,- tension of the bowels and violent pain in the abdomen and sickness, and all these symptoms continued for a period of 1 ~ix weeks,when he was somewhat better. The symptoms in- termitted constantly, and sometimes they returned with greater ' and sometimes with less violence. The case was 1 of such a nature, that I could not form any satisfactory i opinion as to the nature of the disease, or its cause. Ail ' the symptoms, however,were such as would be the result of 1 the administration of small doses of some irritant poison. The deceased also exhibited symptoms of a disease of the lungs, arid they continued until his death. A short time before the death of her husband, I told the prisoner that the nature of his disease was quite obscure, and that I thought she had better have further advice, but she declined, and said she was quite satisfied with me. About this time I had talacd in the 1 village of the necessity of having a post - mortem examina tion of the body in case death should ensue, and the pri soner came to me in a very angry manner and said that she , had been given to understand that I intended to cut her . husband's body open. I told her I hoped there would be ' nu occasion for it, and that her husband would get well. 1 had ',cut medicine to the prisoner and to her sun, but none of it contained arsenic or any preparation of arsenic. The symptoms 1 have mentioned continued until the death of the 1 deceased took place. I made a post-mortem examination of the body and ascertained that the immediate cause of death was disease of the lungs. I afterwards removed the stomach and the intestines and their contents, and they were carefully scaled up and subsequently submitted to Dr. Taylor for arialyzation. superintendent Clarke, re-called—On the Nth May I ' searched the prisoner's house. It contained three roam on the ground floor, in one of which the deceased died. The prisoner was at home at the time. I first searched the room in which the family lived, and in a kneading trough that was in it, I found a quantity of rice. Before this I had taken posses sion of some bottles and other thinr. The prisoner mails no objection to my doing so. I found the rice in a bag ' and when the prisoner saw me take it up, she 112 ill ihil " hoped I was not going to take that away, as it was her , father's, and she had used some of it for her husband : and she added, that if I took it away, she hoped I would tell , her father of it. I told her not tointerfere with me and I should take away just what I thought proper. 'two or , three timia after this she repeated that she hoped! should not take the rice away. I kept the bag and the nee in my case until the 30th Way, and I then delivered it to Dr. Taylor in the same Mate it was is when I took it from the proser's house. John l'elly, a police-constable, said—l accompanied Mr. Clarke to search the prisoner's house, and I saw hiss take the rice out of the kneading-trough. When the prisoner saw him take out the bag of rice she appeared very anxious, and exclaimed that she hoped we were not going to take the rice away. _ Dr. Taylor, professor of chemistry at Guy's Hospital, was then examined. Ile deposed that he examined the contents of the bladder handed to him by Mr. Lewis, and applied the usual tests to them, and the result was the discovery of the presence of arsenic. He also said that the intestines presented the appearances which usually accompanied the exhibition of arsenic. The whole quantity of arsenic found by him was about the twenty-fifth part of a grain, which be said was insufficient to occasion death. By the Court—The whole of the arsenic was expended by the various tests that were applied to it, but he could state positively that arsenictts t to n intestines, i tc n n t t h h e e fZ ' l l of the was By Mr. Bodkin—lt was possible that the arsenic be found was the remainder of a larger dose that bad been administered some days before, and he did not believe that it bad been administered very recently before death. If the poison had been taken seven or eight hours before death, he was of opinion that a larger quantity would have been found in the stomach itself than on the coats of that organ. The portion of the poison that was absorbed and deposited in the stomach might have been administered so long as twelve days before, but that which was contained in the fluid might have been administered much more re cently. The symptoms exhibited by the deceased would, in his opinion, be entirely explained by the adminis tration of small doses of arsenic. By the Lord Chief Justice.—Witness was of opinion that the arsenic must have been administered in small doses, not at all calculated to produce death at once, and when the administration of the poison was relinquished for a time the man got better. By Mr. Bodkin—The effect of the continual administra tion of small doses of arsenic would be to gradually cause the powers of the body to languish, and would thus tend to develop any constitutional malady—such as consumption —that might be in the system. Witness subsequently exa mined a quantity of rice that was handed to him by Clarke, the police-offleer, and he found that it was all over arsenic, and according to the calculations he had made he was of gpinion that in the rice, which was about a pound in quantity, there were about sixteen grains of arsenic. Every grain of rice was covered with a minute portion of the poison, and the whole appeared to have been carefully mixed up together so that every part of the rice was poisoned, and the interior of the bag isintaining the rice was likewise covered with arsenic. The poison consisted of the common white arsenic, which had the appearance of flour. Witness was examined upon the previous trial of the prisoner for poisoning her children, and he upon that occasion in her presence described the nature of arsenic and its toode of action. Mr. Bodkin then again proposed to put in the statement made by the prisoner upon her examination before the coroner. The Lord Chief Justice said that before he admitted the evidence, be would consult Mr. Baron l'arke upon the point of its admissibility. Upon his lordship's return be stated that his learned brother concurred with him that the statement was admis- sible. 'Cho statement was accordingly put in and read. It wa, to the effect that her husband had been in good health until about twelve months before when he was seised with pains in different parts of his body, and they eventually settled in the bottom of his body, and he then complained of suffering very great pain, and was almost mad for two or three days when Dr. llawkes neglected to visit him. She also stated that the deceased was repeatedly sick, and she thought the doctor had given him something in his physic to make him sick. The most material part of the statement was that the prisoner denied positively ever having given the deceased liuy rice. James Parker said—The prisoner is my daughter, and I lived in the same house with her and her husband at Cla. vering. I remember her husband dying. Before that hap pened I had purchased two pounds of rice, and had eaten a portion of it on two occasions, and it took no effect upon me whatever. I ate some of the rice the first night I bought it, and the second time was a week afterwards. I kept the rice in the kneading trough, and I never put any thing into it. Hannah Phillip., the wife of a labouring man at Cla vering, proved that she knew the prisoner before her former trial, and remembered her coming home after it was over. Witness was passing by her cottage some time afterwards, when she called her in, and began talking to her about her children being poisoned, and she said that she did not poison them, hut that some one else had done so. She mentioned the name of the person, and said that he had given the children a halfpenny a piece to take what he gave them. The prisoner then mentioned arsenic, and witness told her that she must wit talk to her about arsenic, for she did not know what it was, and the prisoner then said there was very little difference between the look of arsenic and a little Hour. She also said that the arsenic she had had before she was sent to Chelmsford for trial she had hid under a stump of a tree in a lane at Clavering, and when she came back she took it again, and she said that was the poison she had in tended to poison the woman with, but had not the opportunity, and that she poisoned the child first. She mentioned the name of the woman whom she' meant to poison. The prisoner did not tell her all this at one time, but upon several different occasions. Another time the prisoner told her that she had bought some liver and lights and made a mince pie of them fur leer husband, and she advised witness to make one too, and said that if she did not know how to " season " it, if she =hi it to her she would season it for her, and she that it would be no more harm to kill such a man as her own or witness's husband than it would be to kill a mouse. Witness hail had a quarrel with her husband a short time before, and had told the prisoner of it, sod she said that her hushaud would not dare to hit her, and if ever he did so, she would put him under the bricks. While the prisoner's husband was ill, she met her one day us she was coming from the doctor's, and asked her how her husband was. She replied that he was very ill, and she had toren for some medicine fur him, and that Mr. llawkes bad made a mistake, and put the bay's medicine into his father's bottle. The prisoner then said they hail taken the bay's allowance off, and wanted him to go into the union, and she then turned aide and cried, and said she had sent her soul t p hell all through him. Witness did not know who she meant by " him." On the Tuesday after the death of the deceased the prisoner tame to her, and said that her mother-in-law had heard what she had been saying about the poison, and she asked witness not to say any more about it, and she added that her trouble was great. Shortly after this request the prisoner came to her, and thanked her for what she had said before the coroner, and began to abuse her; she replied that she had not said so much hut what she could say a good deal more; and she then called the prisoner Sally Arsenic, and told her that she might have had her husband alive as well as other people, if she had treated him properly. The prisoner then told her that she might have gone in and poisoned him if she had liked, and witness called her a good for nothing wretch, and said that if she had gone in she (prisoner) would have mixed something up and given it her to give him,—and she also told the pri soner that if it had been her she should have been hung long ago. The prisoner replied to this that she did not care about the "under-set" so long as she had the good-will of the heads of the people. The prisoner also told her upon another occasion that when she wad at Chelmsford before, she did not intend to go home to her husband. but to go and live with another man, and she said this man was wait ing for her to take her away while she was being tried. Charles Clayden, a labourer of Cleverlng, deposed that in the harvest of 1849, he was at work with the deceased in the harvest field, and he saw him eat his dinner, which was a meat pasty. The deceased complained of pain in his stomach after he had eaten the pasty, and he frequently said that he had a gnawing and a sinking in his stomach, as though something was feeding on it. Dr. Taylor re-called—A sensation of gnawing and sink ing in the stomach would be one of the symptoms conse quent upon the administration of arsenic. Caroline Cole, a neighbour of the prisoner, deposed that while the deceased was ill, she had some conversation with the prisoner upon the state of her husband's illness, and she told her that he was very ill, and that his body was very much swelled, and she said she thought that Mr. liawkes had put something in his medicine. Witness told her that Mr. Ilawkes had doctored her and all her family, and he bad never done them any harm. The prisoner in reply to this said she knew what her character was, and if any poison had been put into the medicine, it was done in order to get rid of her. The prisoner afterwards said, "If I have poisoned my children, I have not poisoned my husband," and she Wen began to abuse the witness, Hannah Phillips, and said that if she had an opportunity, she should like to season $ pie for her, and make her a " croaker." This clo sed the ease for the prosecution. The prisoner, when called upon for her defence, made a long rambling statement, in the course of which she as serted that she was innocent, and declared that if her hus band had been poisoned, the poison must have been token in some of the thingswhieh pimple were continually sending to him while he was ill. The Lord Chief Justice then summed up the case with great minuteness, and the jury almost immediately re turned a verdict of Guilty. His lordship then put on the black cap, but his emotion was so great that some time elapsed before the learned judge could recover himself sufficiently to pass the mntenee. lie at length addressed the prisoner, and said she had been convicted by a jury of her country of the heinous offence of administering poison to her husbaiid with intent to murder him; and he must say that the evidence was altogether overpowering. He had not taken upon him self to intimate any opinion until after the verdict was delivered; but now that the jury had stated their opinion upon the case, he could not refrain from observing that he entirely concurred in the verdict they had given ; and he must add, that there would be no safety for man , kind if, when such guilt was clearly established, condign punishment did not follow. lie was afraid this was not the only crime of which she had been guilty. She had confessed to having murdered two of her children ; and, although she had escaped from that charge, justice had at last overtaken her, and she had now only a short time to live. He therefore entreated her to employ that time in repentant and prayer, to endeavour to obtain pardon for the many crimes she had committed. The learned Judge than passed sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner did not betray the least emotion during the learned Judge's address ; and, when he had concluded, she walked with a firm step from the dock. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Woactarza, MARCH 6. The commission was opened yesterday eretaing by Mr. Julien Talfriard.

The report which was read stated that the board had satisfaction in announcing that they had been able, iu the past year, to continue their exertions with undiminished vigour. The number of per sons benefited by the society during the year had been 1,982, of whom 2.51 were new cases. About 180 foreigners had been enabled by the funds furnished to them by the society to return to their native countries. The average weekly number of applications to the board fur assistance was 40, and the greater proportion of these persona were Europeans; Africans, Asians, and Americans had also, how ever, been among the recipients of the bounty of the society. The amount spent in affording casual relief was 8141. Itk. 6d., and for passage money 1441. lii. Sd. The total receipts on the year, including the balance of last year, was 3,4711.145. 7d. ; total expenditure, 3,0211.11 x. 9d.; leaving a balance, in favour of the society, of 4501. In the course of his remarks, in comment upon the report, Mr. Labouehere expressed a hope that the wealthy foreigners who would visit London during the period of the great exhibition, would not fail to admit the claims which this society was so well entitled to prefer upon them. Thu report was adopted, and the usual routine business was transacted. COLLISION ON TUE YORE, NEWCASTLE, AND BEE ! WICK RAILWAY.—On Tuesday morning last a serious col lision occurred near Darlington, ou the York, Newcastle, and Berwick line. The government train leaving New castle at 6.30 cm., and due at Darlington at 7.20 cm., had just passed the point of junction between that line and the Stockton and Darlington Railway, about a mile from the Darlington station of the former, when a coal engine, which had been "shunting" some waggons on to a siding, and was returning on to the main line, passing through the arch of a viaduct which crosses at a point where the line is slightly curved, met the passenger-train, and had arrived within a few yards of it before the drivers were aware of their proximity. The steam of both engines was instantly turned off and their motion reversed, but not in time to avert a collision, by the force of which they were both thrown of the line. The coal engine was driven by the heavy passenger-train a considerable distance along the line, and its tender smashed to pieces. The shuck sustained by the passengers was severe, and the injuries numerous and varied. Several persons arc now lying under medical care, but it is anticipated that none of the injuries will prove fatal. Both engines were considerably shattered, and • delay of two hones was caused to the government train. RAILWAY AccIDENT.—A serious accident occurred at the Kirkman station of the Leeds and Bradford Rail way, on Wednesday afternoon. A lady from Liverpool, sister-in-law of Mr. Nickels, of Kirkstall, whilst walking alongside the rails, was caught by the side of the buffer of the expreu train, which came up at the time. She was turned round, then caught over the head by the brake, knocked down, and dragged for twenty or thirty yards. Her right arm and thigh bone were both broken, and she was otherwise seriously injured; but hopes are entertained of her recovery. RIFLE SHOOTING AT A STEEPLE CHASE.—A man named Greases, from Manchester, set up a stand at the Oldham steeple chase on Wednesday for rifle shooting at targets, and although frequently warned of the danger at tendant upon practising the sport, but he stubbornly per sisted, and the result was that a young man, aged 17 years, son of Mr. Whitehead, of the firm of Whitehead and Wild, Stalyhridge, was shot in the right side, breaking a rib. Greaves was immediately apprehended, and the next day was remanded by the magistrate. Whitehead has been pro nounced out of danger. TILE DETECTIVE BLOODHOUNIL—The fruits of the' purchase of the bloodhound by the Lincoln Association are, that whilst seventy sheep were slaughtered in the neigh bourhood of the city during the first two months of lest year, not six have been slaughtered during the first two past months of the present year. The dog i• kept in goad training, and several persons have joined the association, foe the purpose of enabling them to avail themselves of its ler ! vices in ease of need.— Lincolnshire Times.
