SI - 01MM) INTSLLIGENCB. OXFORD RACKS. -Tm r ASP AT. Stewards : The Earl of Coventry, Sir H. Peyton, Hon. J. F. T. W. Famines, and Osage Payne, Esq. In delightful entreat with Wednesday at Derby, the im a ger was brilliant, and the fourth anniversary of the re suscitatice of Oxford races was better attended than upon soy of the late gatherings, and from the support awarded, coupled with the excellent management, this meeting upon the bank' of the leis bids fair to become one of the moat popular of the " Home Circuit" division. 0 u,,u.dly large dads contested each event, the principal race of tue meeting being won by Star of the West, who, in the hand- of the in imitable Foedham, defeated the immense favourite Lord Stanley by a head. The feature of the Selling Plate was, that the result proved in favour of beam who freely laid on Strawberry Hill, whose sale afterwards placed 1101. to the credit of the race fund. The course oe each aide of the Grand Stand was lined with equipages, " horsed " in a style which betokened that their owners were not of the plebeian order. Amongst the many thousands was a snagniticeet " four iu hand,' driven by Lord Abingdon, the Lord High Steward of the city of Oxford, who entertained a large party.

TRI• NottTIINKN Hammy) FtsnEßY.—This week, the last but one of the regular fishing season, closes very dis couragingly, and leaves so ground to hope that an average catch can now be vouchsafed. Contrary to expectations and indications, the daily return has beeu exceedingly poor, so touch so that bundre.ls of crews have muslin after morning returned without the slightest success. The wea ther has been exceedingly mild and the tides very strong, and now the indications which were presented off our shores in the early part of the week have in • ' great measure disappeared. The daily return Ism been as follows :—Tuesday, 2,240 crane : Wednesday, 5,600; Thursday, 1,120; Friday, 800; Saturday, 800 ; total for the week, 10,260; previous catch, 63,545—t0tal for the Meson. 71,1405 cram. The average for 1,122 boats is con• sentiently now brought to but 66 crane, the lowest at the sense date for many years, and 25,000 under an average. Many crews have not yet caught 10 crane, and there are curets who have sot yet so many herrings as some of those who purchase the daffy plunder from the boats and curing stations. We have still ono week of the season to depend on. Should the weather prove favourable, • fair quantity may yet be brought ashore. In the early part of the week the coast stations promised well. Scarlet and Clyth had two good days. Lybeter also received a help on Monday and Tuee&y, acid now hands its last year's entire ave rage by two crane. Latheronwheel end Form are very poorly fished. bat Dunbeeth is better. Helmsdele has done little this wash, and is now a good deal under the average of last veer. Altogether, from VVick to Helmsdale inclusive, the fishing is 5,000 crate under the catch of last year to • like date, 30,000 under that of 1860, 20,000 under 18.19, and 26.000 u nder 1858. At the Morayshire and Banff stations little hen bees done this week, so that, with one or two exptiocis, they are all under the average of last year. The Abeideenahire stations are far in wlvanee. Envier. burg. is now greatly in °teem of last year's fishing, having averaged 12. 14, acid 20 crane on the three tird days of this week, bringing its average to nearly 120 cram. The smaller stations in the neighbourhood have also dots' well. Peterhead, however, did little or nothing till Wednesday, when the average was 3i crane, on Thursday 14, and yesterday 10, average for the season about 110 cram. Full crown brands were selling at 275. fid. ; fresh fish, Ws. per eras, and at Fraserburgh somewhat lees. The fishing of 1862 must now be very defective, as the season is too feradvanced to admit of the existing deficiency being made up. Taking the averages up to the date of the last advioes from distant localities, and those of this coast to this day, we are satisfied that the catch is on the whole Scotch east coast 40,000 crane under that of last year to the enrrespooding date, and 60,000 under an average. Here there hoe mot beam much doing during the week, but former quotations have hese maintained. —Northern Nasign. OftYNTAL PATACIL-.-ONZ tqIILLISO DAY.—Tnuks- T, Seri. 4.—FLOWIN AND FRC!?

Yesterday Colonel Yolland commenced an in quiry on behalf of the Board of Trade into the circum stances connected with the accident, and was engaged the whole of the day examining witnesses at the railway station. . . The inquest was resumed at the Town-ball thi morning, before John Gregory, Esq., coroner. Mr. Metcalfe, barrister, instructed by Mr. Cleather, ap peared for the London and North• Western Company ; and Mr. Marigold, of the firm of Beale and Marigold, solicitors, for the Midland Railway company. Mr. Bunyers, superin tendent of the London and North-Western Railway, was also present ; as were bkewise Mr. E. J. Ellis, one of the directors of the Midland Company ; and Mr. Needham, soperintendant of the Midland Company; Mr. Carus Bennett, barrister of the midland circuit, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of four of the persona who were injured. The first witness called was Mr. Rich, station master at Market Harborough, who said-- The station belongs to the London and North Western Company. The Midland Com pany have power to run through it. On the night of the 26th August, about five minutes to eleven, I was about to go to bed. The station was closed, and the lamps, with the exception of one were all put out. I heard a train stop at the platform, and from the voices of the pueengen concluding it was a passenger train I took my lamp and went out on the platform. I found several persons on the platform, and some of the doors of the carriages open. I called to the passengers to get in, which they did, and I !hut the doors. During the time I was doing that I heard a continual whistle in the distance from another train ap proaching in the same direction. It appeared so far off that the idea of a collision never occurred to me, and in one minute or two just as the first train had commenced to move I heard a concussion and saw the glass fall from the windows of two of the carriages. I was at that time stand ing opposite to the middle of the first train. The train ' then violently parted in two from the recoil of the carriages which had been struck. The first part of the train consisting of the engine and about twelve carriages then went on for a few yards. The passengers in the latter part of the train then got out of the carriages. There were many calls for assistauce. I then proceeded along part of the train that bad been struck till I came opposite to the signal box.. I then reached over the coupling chains of two of the car. riages and called the signal man, Haggar by name, and asked him to bring the keys of the office. He brought them, and in a perfectly collected manner he handed them acmes to me. While he so held the keys, and before taking them, I asked him how his signals were when the accident occurred. He, answered they were at danger, as it is usual for them to be when a train is standing at the station. I then asked.him if be knew what was the cause of the accident. He said, from what he bad seen of the last train when be first perceived its approach he thought its speed was too great:for them to be able to stop, and that he thsu, in addition to the signals which were at danger at the time, waved his red signal lamp. I then took the keys out of his hand, and went sod opened the of and wait ing rooms and lit the gas. After having done so I proceeded down the train which had bees run into. I found a great many people wounded. I directed them up to the offices where the lights were. I then found that a fire had been lighted, and by its light and that of my own lamp I saw what appeared to be the roof of a carriage which the pas sengers were crowding round. As soon as I could get near I could distinguish two or three passengers underneath this broken part of a carriage. That must have been 20 mi. outage after the accident. The passengers seemed to be doing all they could to release those who were underneath the carriage. After having, with the assistance of two passengers, fetched a screw carnage out of the goods shed, I rent some of the passengers to the town to give the alarm and procure assistance. I meant to state that when I was coming down the train, before I arrived at the immediate place of the accident I met a Midland guard, and instructed him to take the engine and first train and proceed to Leicester and procure medical assist ance and spare carriages. After that I was variously occu pied amougst the wounded. I was preparing the goods shed for the reception of the wounded, and saw the body of one man brought in. It was that of the deceased Thomas Stinson. The Coroner—Were there any lights in the carriages' I observed some lights in the carriages, but I cannot say whether they were all lighted. Had you received any intimation that the train was about to stop for water?—No, it is not usual. There was no other person in the signal-box but Beggar at the time. When I spoke of the signals I alluded to his main signals and his auxiliary. The main signal is at the south end of the up platform ; the auxiliary is about 600 yards distant. Mi. Metcalfe—lt is 629 yards from signal to signal. Witness—As I stood on the platform I did not notice and 1 could not see the auxiliary signal. The auxiliary signal is worked by the man in the main signal box by means of a lever and a connecting wire. Hugger, the signalman, is • servant of the North Western Company. By • juror —How long has Hugger been with the com pany'—About eight years, sod live at that station. Since I Lave been at the station, now about three years, I have known him guilty of any negligence with regard to the signals. . . . . . 'ha - you speak to the engine -driver or the guard of the hut train •—No. Do you know of any particular instance where Huggar has Misplayed great presence of mind? Witness—l am not prepared to state it on oath. but I have known him to avert an accident by his presence of mind. Do you consider the station large enough for the traffic I do not ; but that would not affect the question as regards the signal. Cross-examined by Mr, Mangold—l do not attend to the signals. The auxiliary signal has never been known to fail to act, except when it was out of order. I can state no particular instances of its failing, but 1 have known it to be out of order. I have no recollection as to how many times it has been out of order. The last time it was out of order is about three mouths ago, and it was then repaired. By Mr. Metcalfe—With the exception of the instance I have just related I have never heard of the signal failing to act except on the occasion I spoke of three months ago, when it was out of order. The whistle. when 1 first heard it, was at such a distance as not to suggest to my mind any possibility of eny accident. I did not bear the guard or the driver complain at the time that the signal was I wrong. I beard of it next day. Joseph Greenwood—l am an engine driver in the service of the Midland Railway Company. I have been a driver two years. On Thunday night I brought an excursion train I from King's-crass. We left King scros at 7.35. There were 25 parenger carriages, itcluding two or three break vans. train was to go to Burton-upon-Treut. We were not to stop till we got to Disford, to let down passengers. Disford is about eight miles from Leicester. We first stopped at Bedford to take water. We stayed there eleven minutest As I started I saw the following train. 1 knew that there was another train to follow. The train had been divided into two parts. We did not see anything of the second train till it came to us at Bedford. We left Bedford at 9.32. 1 knew they would have to atop for water the same as I bad, and that it would take them just the name time. After leaving Bedford I came on to Market Harbo rough and stopped there again for water, as I found it necessary to do so. I knew there were signals there to protect our train. We got to Market Harborough at 10.52. 1 noticed the state of the signals as I approached the statian. I whistled in the usual way, the red signal being on at the main signal sta tion, and at the auxiliary, and it was changed for me in the usual way, and then they were both turned off. I had just completed taking in the water, which had occupied ten minutes. Just as I was getting ready to start, I blew the whistle as a signal to my . guard. I had takes the engine off the break, and the trine moved a little in conse quence, but the engine had not been put off gear when the second train raiiinto us. I bad not heard anything coming, my attention being taken up with taking io the water and trying to get off. I had not heard soy whistling of the second train. When the second train ran into us it caused my engine to move on a little—about 120 yards. When it stopped I got off, and found that the couplings of my train had been broken in two or three places. I went beck to the end of the train to see what had occurred, and I Saw that a break van and two carriages hail been broken up by the collision. I saw the engine driver of the second train, Ezra Stokes, and asked him how it occurred, and be said, " The back signal (the auxiliary signal) was as white as any signal in this world ever was." His fireman also Said the back signal was white. I said to one of the guards, " You lied better go hack and see what the signal is to protect the other trains." I assisted to put the passengers who were hurt into the carriages that were fit for running, and brought them to Leicester. I got off with them in about 25 minutes or half an hour. I saw no one at the station but the signal man, who was in his box as I entered the station. I told him I was going to take in water. He said, " All right. 7. Cioss.exanilned by Mr. Metcalf—When I spoke to the guard of the train the main signal was at red. I could not see the auxiliary signal. We can see the main signal for a coosiderable diatance from the station, at least half a.mile off. We always expect the red signal on at the distance signal and prepare to stop. We whistle, and if the red is taken off and the white is pet oo we go cm. I found it red when I came up, and it was turned off for me. We whistle before we come in sight of it. I expect the other driver had whistled the same as I did before he came in sight of it. Ido not know what speed he was running at when he run into can. He might run through the station at ten miles an hour with safety. In my train we had come at an average speed of about Ya miles an hour. The court then adjourned for an hour for refreshments. On its re-assembling, Mr. Tapley was examined. He am heed guard of the Borten train (the first train). I was in the break. van neat the engine. As I approached Harboeough the THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1862. iigoali were all tight. We stopped at Harborough to take in water, and I got out of the train. The signals were all right when we got to the station. Reparatory to the starting the engine break had been taken off, I having given the signal to the driver to do so. As soon as I got inside the break van I was knocked down by the Manton train (the second train) running into us. I got out. I saw the break van and the two carnage. next to it wen, destroyed. AU the passengers that I could get into the unbroken carriages I got in, and they were taken on to Leieester. I saw Taylor, the front guard of the Manton trail), who waisted me to get the passengers in. I know nothing of the cause of the Manton train running into us. I had not seen it on the way. I did not see it at Bedford. Mark Meadows—l was under-guard of the Burton train, and was stationed in the rear break van of the train. Al) we approached the back signal I noticed that the signal was white. I had heard the usual whistle on approaching the station. I looked out, as is the general custom, to see that all was right. The whistle is given before we can see the signal. I looked out and saw the white light. There was • green light at the semaphore (the main signal station). We always put on the breaks coming down the incline. I put on my break half a mile beyond the crossing (a distance of some half a mile on the London side of the auxiliary signal). Cross-examined—The Leicester train was coming at the rate of from four to six miles an hoer, to the best of my judgment, when the collision took place. The engine was reversed, and the steam put on against her. The end of my train extended two or three carriages beyond the main signal station. By a Juror—None of the passengers complained on the journey. The green light means caution. Ezra Stubbs, the - driver °Mho second train, was then called, and cautioned by the coroner (het he was not obliged to answer any questions that might criminate himself, end that his evidence might be put in against himself in case any charge were brought against him. He said—l have been an engine-driver two years, and was a firer four years, and was a cleaner two years previous to that. I was the driver of the wood, or Manton train, from King's-cross on Thursday list. We left King's-cross at 7.45. I did not count the carriages. I saw the Burton train start. It started some six or seven minutes before us. We came to Bedford. The first train was then standing at the station. I suppose they were taking in water. We did the same. We left Bedford at 9.48. We had been there 11 minutes. As we came on to Harborough we received caution signals at the stations that we passed. This is usual with a train a few minutes in advance. At Kettering there was a red light. I whistled, and it was changed to green. They showed me the green light, with the hand lamp as well, as ,I passed Ketter ing. that gave me to understand that the train in front had passed only about five minutes. I proceeded cau tiously forward, and on approaching the Market Harborough back s ig nal I told my firemen to apply his break, and he did. We were then coming down SD incline, and it is usual to apply a break there. I then sounded my whistle twice for the junction signals. I could not see them at that time. On approaching nearer to them, and still before I got in sight of them, I whistled for them twice again. On coming round by the level crowing I saw that the distance signal—the back signal—stood at white, signifying all right. I was then some 300 or 400 yards off the signal. I thought the station was clear, and I told my fireman to take his break off, which he did. My steam had been turned off half a mile before I came in sight of the level crowing. There are signals there also. There are two baclisignals there, and they showed a white light. After I had told the fireman to take his break off, I whistled to the guards to take their breaks off. I gave one whistle for that purpose. I then put on steam again, and kept it on till I saw the train in front of me. The back signal showed a light when I passed it. Just as I passed the back signal I saw the red lights at the station. I noticed the tail lights on the train standing at the station. I also looked at the semaphore ; it stood at danger, the red light. The moment I saw the tail lights I saw the red light at the semaphore. I then reversed the engine, and called oo the fireman to apply his break, and whistled to the guards to apply their breaks, and I opened the valves of the sandboxes to assist us in stopping, bat the distance was too short for us to atop. We ran into the train in trout of us, we being then going at the rate of about six miles an hour. I stayed on the engine till it came to a dead stand. We ran into the train before on, and broke a van and two carriages. The engine was damaged too at the chimney end. It ran off the road, but not the tender. By a Juror—When we observed the train, and applied the break the last time, we were at a distance of a little more than 400 yards. Looking at this plan it would be 444 yards. The main signal is a difficult signals to see. It is not square to the road, and trees hide it from us as well. We minuet see it well till we get to the back signal. By Mr. Metcalfe—l do not think we can see the main signal till we get about up to the back signal. Anyone standing still might see it. Before getting to the back signal was looking for the semaphore signal, and I did not see it till about the time I got to the back signal, and I then tried to stop. I turned round to the auxiliary, and it showed a white light both ways. There is a lamp on the Harborough side of the auxiliary signal, which is to protect the crossing. It is a revolving lamp. When I came up to the auxiliary I gave one short whistle to the guards, to release their breaks. if the auxiliary had stood at danger I should have given three short whistles to the guards to put on their breaks, in case they had not done so. Then 1 should have given two clear distinct whistles to the signal man. If the auxiliary signal had stood at red I should have bad my train under command, so as to have stopped at a short notice. I should not have gone to the junction if I could have helped it. _ . . . . By a .furor I did not know what orders the engine man of the fist train had got. If I had known he was going on to Burton I should have expected he would have gone on to Wigston or Burton for water. Walter Sowden, a fireman in the employ of the Midland Company—l have been so about eighteen months. I was fireman to the last witness, Ezra Stubbs, on Thursday night last. When we were coming down to flarborough my mate whistled, and told me to steady her down by applying the break. When we had got further down to the crowing he whistled again twice. We ran steadily down till we came in sight of the back signal. I saw that the back signal was off ; there was the white light. He then told me to take off the break and let her go. This was as soon as we could see the white light. We had been looking out for it, and we were somewhere about the level crossing. I saw that the back signal was at the white light when we were close to it. We then saw the tail lights and my mate raid, " Put the break on ; there is the other train." I put on the break, and Fulled open the sandbox, and my mate, es soon as lie saw the red light, reversed the engine, rod we whistled continually till we came up to the other train. I was on the foot platform the left hand aide of the engine when the collision took place. We were going I should think at about six miles an hour. James Taylor, passenger guard of the Manton excursion train, and Mr. Goodman, under-guard of the Manton train, were afterwards examined, but their evidence does not ap pear to have been very material. The court then adjourned until to-morrow morning. It is said that the injured pawners. are progressing fa vourably. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. BEMISBOURNE (M►a OARTRIBURY), THURSDAY. This morning, shortly before 8 o"clock, an acci dent of an alarming character, though fortunately un attended with any serious consequences to the passengers, occurred to the mixed 7.20 up train from Dover for London, in a cutting about half a mile from the Beaksbouroe Sta tion, and which is attributed to the culpable negligence of a plate-layer (Henry Haynes) in the service of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. The train con sisted of seven carriages and a break van, and was drawn by two engines, one of them being a retu r n engine. The train left Dover punctually at 7.20, with about 30 passengers, reaching Adisliam in good time. It then proceeded at the ordinary rate ; and when approaching the end of the Adi ahem cutting, rather more then half a mile from the Beaks bourne Station, the attention of the driver was drawn to the plate layers working on the line, and he perceived, as he approached them closer, something on the metals, but before he could materially stop the progress of the train, be felt the engin,' jarring, and the next moment the two engines and the whole of the carriages left the metals, and ran on the permanent way nearly 200 yards. One of the engines was forced on to the down line, but none of the carriages were damaged to airy extent, though the whole line of up-mils was torn up for upwards of 150 yards, and many of the sleepers displaced. The pas sengers were of course more or lees shaken, but only one person —a woman—was injured, and her injuries were represented by the company's officials as not being of a serious nature. Information of the occurrence was imme diately forwarded to Canterbury and Dover, and in less than an hour, Mr. Miles, the resident engineer, accom panied by Mr. Best and Mr. Claringbold, with a large staff if workmen, arrived at the spot and commenced removing the carriages and relaying the rats. Mr. Bishop, the traffic superintendent, and Mr. Squire, the locomotive foreman, soon after arrived, and directed the operations of the work men. The entire traffic, however, of both lines was stopped until noon, when the 'down line was cleared. Upon inquiry as to the cause of the accident, it was aacir tamed that an ir.strument, called a jim-crow, used for the purpose of straightening the rails, was screwed on to one of the metals of the up line, and that when the train was seen approaching one of the men attempted to unscrew it, while the plate-layer held up both his hands to stop the engine. Failing to unfasten the instrument, the man rushed off the line to save his life. The front engine struck the jim-crow, which slid along the metals until it reached a fish-plate joint, which impeded its progress, and the engine bounded over it. In doing so it got off the line, and dragged the other engine and carriages with it. As soon as these circum stances were discovered the plate-layer was given into custody and taken to Canterbury, the company's o ffi cials expressing their deep regret at the occurrence, and their de termination to punish their servant, whose dereliction of duty MA caused this accident. It appears that be was bound to have the line cleared ten minutes before the arrival of any train ; but he alleges as an excuse for his conduct that he was deceived as to the time, in consequence of his watch having At two o'clock this afternoon Henry Haynes, the ste XtVlayer. was placed at the bar of th e St. Augustine's Justices' Comt, is Watling.street, Canterbury, before Mr. William Plummer, one of the county justices. Some formal evidence having been taken be was remanded till Saturday next, when the company will be prepared with the requisite witnesses be bring home the charge of negligence against hi= THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. A respectably-dressed gentlemanly-looking young man, named Joseph Routlin, and described as a traveller, wee placed at the bar before tie Lard Mayor, who sat yretarday for the first time, after an alneoes of several weeks, charged with having embezzled moneys belonging to his employers, Messrs. Peek and Ca, tea merchants, 20 , Eastcheap. Frodk. North, 27, Hampstead-rued, stated that on the 10th July he paid the primmer the sum of 21. 19s. l ld., on the Bth August 51.135. Bd.. Nylon the 3rd September inst. 31. 13s. I Id., on account of Messrs. Peck, and he produced the receipts which the primmer pre him. Mr. James Henry Calling, a partner in the firm of Mears. Peck and Co., stated that the prisoner was in the employnient of the firm as clerk ►nd traveller, and was authorised to collect accounts from the customers, and to amount daily for the sums be received to thechief cashier, who entered them in the cash-book. The sums mentioned by the previous witness had not been accounted. for, neither were the amount, marked off in the ledger. He received some information on the previous day which led to the examination of the prisoner's accounts, and a con siderable deficiency was discovered ; and on that morning, when the prisoner went to business, he taxed him with having embezzled moneys belonging to the firm, upon which the prisoner admitted that such was the case, and mentioned a number of customers from whom be had re ceived money, amounting in all to about 150/., and for which he had not accounted. The accounts mentioned by Mr. North were in that list. Police-constable Anthony Wilson Mangle said he went to Mount. Pock's, and sawieiriponer King. He told him he was an officer, and c harged him with having embezzled various sums of money belonging to his employer, and asked him if he could give any explanation. The prisoner said he had lost the money by betting on horse racing. He searched him , and found a gold watch and chain, a ring, and a betticg book. The prisoner said that if he had been left alone for another month he should have been able to repay the whole. The prisoner, who had nothing at all to say, was re manded for a week. William Brack/is appeared before his lordship in answer to a summons taken out against him by John Thompson, • salesman in Lsodenhall-market, charging him with an samult. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Thompson stated that he was with a friend in Ald gate on the evening of the 29th August, and on paring a place where a mock auction is carried on he said to his friend. " Let's go in here and buy a cheap watch." The defendant, who was standing at the door, said they should not go in, and he said they would, as it was a public auc tion. The defendant, however, said it was not a public auction ; but a private one, and neither he nor his friend should enter. He had some alight altercation with the de fendant, and turned round to his friend, and said, " Mind i your pockets," and was about to walk sway, when the defendant struck him a violent blow on the mouth with his fist, and bad it not been for the crowd of people who had collected, be would have fallen from the blow. The blow was a very violent one, and be had been in great pain ever since, and was not then able properly to masti cate his food. A gentleman named Morris, the complainant's friend who was with him at the time of the anault, confirmed his state ment. The defendant said he certainly committed the assault, but he was intoxicated at the time, and the observation made by the complainant irritated him. The complainant said he made that observation ass cau tion to his friend, who at that time had property to a consi derable amount in his pockets, and he merely wished to re mind him of that fact. Mr. Goodman, chief clerk, mid the mock auction was becoming a very great nuisance in the City, and be read a petition addressed to his lordship, and signed by fifteen of the most respectable inhabitants of Aldgate, in the viciuity of Jewry-street, calling his lordship's attention to a great nuisance to which they were subjected by the frequent dis• turbanoes which take place at a mock auction carried on at 18, Aldgate, in the name of Peacock and others, it being the resort of all characters, who frequently, in the absence of the police, obstruct the footpath and otherwise injure the tradesmen in the neighbourhood. The petitioners stated that if it were in the power of the Lord Mayor to order the removal of the nuisance, they would be for ever grateful for his kiodoess. His lordship said be should be very glad if he had the power to put a stop to the nuisance complained of, bat that was not what be had then to adjudicate upon. The question before him was one of assault. The defendant had admitted it, and pleaded that he was intoshoted, but that was no excuse. The least he could do was to tine him 40s. The defendant wee then removed below, and the money wee shortly afterwards paid. BOW-STREET.

To-day I was going back to my mas teis shop, having been out on an errand, when I met the prisoner running across the road with the picture now pro duced. I bad seen it safe in my master's shop a few mi nutes before. I went to the shop and asked my master if he knew anything ►bout it. My master then ran after him and caught him. Mr. Henry—lt ma large picture, and must be very heavy for him to carry. Witness—lt te very heavy, air. He wes carrying it on his head. The picture is my master's property, and is worth 21.

Atkins being recalled, said There was no man near. When he first saw the prisoner be bad the picture under his arm. When he and his master went in pursuit of the prisoner he had it on his bead. He was remanded for further examination. HATES THE MURDERER.-.—A foolish rumour was in circulation on Wednesday (says the Freeman's Journal) that the day before one of the constabulary in pursuit of Hayes got intimation that he had returned to his old dwelling. He aid not believe it. The constable, however, coming into the neighbourhood of Hayes's house made a cauticus reoonnaiasauce, and justly regarded the intelligence which he received as a mere gossip, when to his horror— the story goes—Hayes stood before him with the tirm reso lution of a man who was prepared to meet all the conse quences of his position. According to the statement of the " gossips " the fugitive was frightful in his look of quiet, though terrible defiance. The man who was to arrest bun saw the power of Hayes, and be feared him. The alleged amassio, it is stated, cocked his pistol, and lcoked into the face of the constable, pending the issue. The day before yesterday, it is a ll eged Positively. Hayes was within two miles of Tipperary, known and recognised by a man who was aware that a large price bad been placed on the head of the alleged murderer, but be has again escaped. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT EASTERN BAIL WAY TERIHRUIL—An inqutirry was held yesterday at the Black Horse Tavern, KicplaW•rovid, by Mr. John Hum. phreys, one of the Middlesex coroners, respecting the death of Henry Sin:moods, aged 29, who was run over by a pas senger. train at the terminus of the Great Eastern Railway at Bishopsgate, on Saturday last. He bad been seen at work cleaning his points about 70 yards down the line only five minutes before the accident. but was not noticed scale till the train came up, when it ran over him. The driver and guard pulled up, and ap plied the breaks, but the train could not be stopped until all the carriages bad gone over deceased. Dr. Roper said that the deceased had died in stantaneously from the fearful injuries received, hie ab domen and limbs being moot shockingly mangled and lace rated. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." BARNET CATTLE AND HORSE FAlR.—This annual mart for cattle and horses commenced yesterday morning at an early hour. The number of bowie brought together upon the occasion was very large, consiatiog of venous breeds, but the majority of them were confined to the Devon, Hereford, short-born, Scotch, and Welsh classes. This faire appropriated for storelings alone, ranging from one to three years old, so that the fluctuation io the prices will not admit of any fixed standard in relation to the breeds in genemL At the opening of business there was manifested a reluctance on the part of buyers to operate on account of the extremely high figures at which the sellers proposed their stock, nor was it until nine o'clock (a.m.) that terms were made easier to purchaser., when the lota began to change hands in rapid successioo, and the droves (mostly Devon and Scotch beasts) moved off the grounds to dense masses. Up to ten o'clock a current business was observed in the Welsh cattle fields, and some large herds passed through the town of Barnet to be laid down in the Hertfordshire pastures. By 11 o'clock (a.m.) the crowded collection of beasts upon the brow of Barnet-bill evidenced a sensible diminution in numbers, whilst the Scotch horde on the common lands kept passing through the streets of the town iu continuous motiou. Up to this time a brisk business had been effected in the general stock of the bucolical offerings, whilst some thousands were held in hand, to meet after demands. Devon steers made from 12/. to 161. ; Herefords, 101. to 15/ ; shurthorne, 12/. to 18/. ; Scotch polls, 10/. ; long.horned ditto, 101. to 111. ; North Welsh, 71. to 81. ; south ditto, SI. to 101. ; whilst large Lincoln ruled at 18/. each. The sheep pens were upon a very limited smile, and operations on this aide of the fair appeared exceedingly slack ; a few Welsh ewes were taken up at 15/. per score. The horse fair was well stocked with a large variety of these useful animals. Among the rest were noticeable some very highly approved teamsters, which, for draught, sustained a high character.

We briefly reported a day or two since the shock ing murder of one farmer by another at the email village of Walditch, near Bridpert, in Dursetaiiire. We take the following additional particulars from the Sherbortas Journal of yesterday : " The place where this terrible occurrence took place is the little village of Walditch, situate a mile and a half from Bridport, towards Dorchester, and a little off lb* 1 highway to that town. It is a place of some 300 scree, and 24rti inhabitants. Two of the chief inhabitsieta of the village are Mr. Daniel Stone, the unfortunate decease d, and Mr. Charles Fooks, who now lies under theartrf charge of wilful murder. There is some sort of relation ship between the parties, the sister of Mr. Stone being married to Mr. Fooks, r.f Longbreedy, who is cousin to the prisoner. From some cause or perhaps causes, some of which may be suggested by what follows, there h as been for , some time no good blood between the parties. About eight o'clock on Friday morning lest Mr. Stone, in company with a young man named Parrett, was passing the house of Mr. Fooks, when the latter, who was sitting in the kitchen at , the time, reading a newspaper, jumped up, seized his leaded double-barrelled gun, opened the front door, and fired both , barrels, part of the contents of one or both of which en tared the tack of Mr. Stone's head, killing him instantly. The murderer, as soon as he saw the consummation of this fatal deed, shut to his door, fastened it, and rushed up stairs, from whence the sound of a third discharge was beard, and on Mr. Sheppard, a neighbour, looking into the house from the back, by means of a ladder, he found the miserable man extended on the Boor, his face covered with blood, and he apparently seriously injured. Mr. Shep pard got sssiatauce, and, with a crowbar, the bedroom door, , which had been fastened inside, was burst open, and the wretched man was lifted on to the bed. He remarked that this was not, the work of to-day, but of 15 years, and be hoped it would be a warning to the parish. The murderer ' must have re-loaded both barrel. of hi. gun, as one was found not discharged. It is surmised, as his powder and Bask were in the kitchen, that after he rushed up to his bed room be returned down stairs for ammunition, loaded both barrels, and then with his foot attempted to di scharge them. The wounds that he inflided are not of a fatal character. He was, of course, taken into custody immediately on the ar rival of the police, and, as his wounds rendered it advisable that, at least for the present, he should not be removed, ha was kept in custody in his own dwelling. When our re porter visited the place, on Saturday, he was in charge of three constables. He was arrested by Police-sergeant Lavender. The prisoner rent.' about eighty acres of Lnd in the perish, under Lord Wynford. He Ina property of We own, and is regarded to the village as wealthy. He is a tall, strong, dark.oomplexioned, " fiery" man, and not very well liked in the village, where be was born and bred. Two of his brothers, respectable men, live the one at Toner and the other at Chideoek. The unfortunate deceased was of short stature, light com plexioned, "a little, joking man," as he is described. He occupied about the same quantity of land as the prisoner, under Mr. Gundry, the present high-sheri ff of the county. His age was about thirty, and twenty years of his prem• toasty short life he had pained in the village. He was not married. At the inquest the following witnesses were called : Win. Parker said-1 live in Walditch, and am a labourer. This morning, about half-past seven o'clock, I was walking in the village of Walditch, and when near Charles looks house, I saw him standing in the doorway with a gun in his hand. He raised the gun to his shoulder, and pointed the muzzle of the gun towards Mr. D. J. Sto ne's heed. It was the back part of his head at which he pointed it. The gnu went off, and Hr. Stone fell in the road. I was only about' three or four yards from him. : saw blood bowing from his poll. I did not attempt to take him up, but went to call some other people. I very soon returned, when 1 saw I John Bishop and others carrying the body to Mr. Stone's house. I then left, and went for • doctor. 1 ani quite certain that I saw Charles books point the gun and fire at the heed of Daniel Joseph Stone. 1 John Bishop, sworn, said-1 live in Walditch, and am a labourer. This morning, whilst in the ga rden belonging to my own premises, about hall-past seven o 'clock, I heard the report of • gun, as if it was fired in the village, very near me. I ran out into the street at once, and saw Daniel Joseph Stone lying in the road on his face. It was about five yards from the door of Charles looks' house. Daniel Stone was covered with blood, which was flowing very freely from • wound in the back of the neck. I took hold of him immediately, then lifted him up, and spoke to him, bat he could not speak to me. lie breathed twice whilst I had hold of him, and then died. I, with assistance, car ried the body to the deceased's house, where it now bee. I did not see anything of Charles books. books' door was shut when I went out. I do not know who fired the gun. When I went into the street the only person I saw was a little boy about seven ur eight years old, carrying a small basket. The boy was about twelve or fourteen yawl off. I saw no person with a gun. By a juror—lt was about three minutes after the gun was fired that I went out. William Shepherd aid—l live in Walditch, and am a brushmaker. About ball-pat seven this rooming, whilst in my own garden, I heard the report of fire.arms, and beard some shots paean!' around we. In about two or three minutes afterwards I heard a second discharge, which had • very dead sound, as if fired within a confined apace or house. I went into the street, and tEero saw a men, named Henry Adams, who beckoned to me and said, " For God's sake come, for I believe master has killed himself." His master was Charles Fooks. I went at once, and after some difficulty I broke open the door of Charles Fuchs' bed room. I then saw Charles Fooks lying on the floor in • heap by the bedside. I lifted him up, and finding he was alive I sent for the medical man. Mr. Hay, the surgeon, arrived as soon as possible. There was a double-barrelled gun by the aide of Charles Fooks on therloor. One hemmer was down, as if the gut had recently been discharged. The other hammer was full-cocked, with a rap on the nipple, as if the gun was loaded. There was a ramrod on • box very near him. I also observed • powder-flask and • shot-pouch lying on the same box. From the tans I heard the prat report until I saw Charles Fooks lying in his bedroom, it could not have exceeded tea minutes. 1 sew nothing of Daniel Joseph Stone. I do not know who caused the report of the fire-arms. Mr. Fooks was frequently tiring off the gun, so I did not take much notice of it when I beard the report. Whiet Charles Fucks was lying on the bed, he repeated several times, "He has t ea sed me long enough," and he also said, " Is the other one dead? I hope be is." 1 have been with him' . the most part of the day, and have nut beard him mention the name of Daniel Joseph dtoue. 1 gave the gun to William Lavender, the sergeant of the police. By a Juror—l never saw him stand at his door arid fire off a gun. William Lavender said—l reside at Bridport, and am sergeant of the police. This morning, about 14 o'clock, from information I received, I went to Walditch. there saw the body of Daniel Joseph Stone lying dead in his own house. I then went to the house of Charles Fooks, and there saw Charles Rake lying on the bed, upstairs in his own bedroom. I saw be was suffering from • wound on the left aide of his forehead. He was sensible. I then searched the room, and in the ceiling I saw two boles, about 4 feet apart from each other, and each hole about 3 inches in cinurnference. They looked as if they were gun shots. I then received from . Shep herd, a double-barrelled gun, powder flask, and shot pouch. The right-hand barrel was discharged, and the other barrel baked as if it was loaded, as it had a cap on the nipple. The right-hand barrel a awed to have been re cently discharged. On trying the left-hand barrel, I found there were only • few grams of powder and a wad in it. I then went to the bedside of Charles Fooks, and informai him that Daniel Stone was dead. His answer to me was, " I suppose so." He was about to make some other remarks, when I cautioned him, and told him Lis words would be taken down, and might be used against him. He answered and said, " Very well, be has teased 11141 long enough." He did not mention who teased him. Ile also said he had been very nervous during the last month. I then searched him, and found in his pocket some gun caps and some wads, of the same description as the one I found in the gun. I then charged him with the wilful murder of Daniel Joseph Stone, and took him at once into custody. By the Foremen—Yt hen I had the gun peen me the hammer of the left-band barrel was down, but there was • cap still on it. Both holes could not have Leen made In the ceiling by one shot. William Henry Hay said—This morning, about 8 o'clock, I was summooed to Walditch , to see Mr. Daniel Joseph Stone, and in his own house I saw the deed body of Daniel Joseph Stone, lying on a sofa in his bed room. He was quite dead. There was an abrasion of the akin on the forehead, nose, and lip, as if from a &IL There were, apparently, wounds through the left ear. There were, also, longitudinal wounds on the left aide of the seek, also several wounds on the back of the neck, and the back of the head. All those wounds, I consider, were gunshot wounds. I have since made • pose 'torte= examination of the body. The soft parts of the neck were much contuaed. I found, also, several shots flattened against the occipital bone. On opening the spinal cartel, I found extravaaation of blood, end one shot at least wounding the spinal marrow, above the third cervical vertebra, and this was the cause of death. I am of cpinion that Daniel Joseph Stone CAM by his death from • gun-shot wound or wounds at the back of his neck, woundiog the spinal marrow, and causing extravasation of blood in the spinal canal. I produce some of the shots I have taken from the body. By a Juror—Death must have been instantaneous. In reply to some of the jury, Mr. Hay said that Charles Fooks would ant be able to be moved now, but Le did not think that his (Fooks') wound was likely to las fatal. The jury, after • very abort consultation, returned a nos. nfmous verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Charles Fe AL The witnesses were then bound over to appear at the next amazes, and the jury was dismissed. As to the wretched man Fooks, he is gradually recover- Mg from his wound, and just as our report left, it was ex pected be would be removed to the polioestation, Bea minster, preparatory to being taken before the magistrates. His demeanour, up to the present, is anything but penitent for his atrocious crime ; he supposes " be shall hang for it." He is strictly watched by three policemen. and doubtless this is neesseary to prevent another attempt on his own life. Oe elm ocemioe be asked them why they did not go down stairs and have plenty to eat and drink. they had no occa sion to fear leaving hem slope. He should not hurt himself. He does mot like the ides of being confined in prison till March, and hopes to be bailed out. The meeting botanist Mr. Thomas Stone (brother of the murdered man) aad Mr. Thomas Fooks (brother of the raw. direr) was quite soadantal at the upper sod of the village, on the afternoon of theday of the murder ; they caught • each other cerebrally by the baud, wept most bitterly, and, for upwards of a quarter of an hour, oi.itlier could speak. This truly affecting scene will o. ver be t:.. memory of these who witnessed MARKETS. TALLOW.—Tconanov EVZNING.-11343 market wall t to-day.
