CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there has been a slight improvement in the general trade of the manu facturing district.. At Leeds the woollen cloth trade remained steady but quiet. There has been rather more business done in light fabrics suitable for summer use. Both merchants and manufacturers, however, act with great caution, and are not desirous of incurring risk by entering into specu lative transactions. The worsted trade at Halifax has been dull, and holders of both yarns and piece goods have slightly given way in their demands. At Bradford light fancy goods, suitable to the ap proaching season, have been in moderate demand for the home market, but in other descrip tions of goods there is scarcely any business doing, with little or no demand for the export trade. The hosiery trade at Leicester continues in a very depressed condition. The demand for home con sumption being very contracted, and in wool there is no change to report. The lace trade at Notting -ham has exhibited slight symptoms of improve ment, and in the hosiery branch a decided improve ment may be noticed. The shipping trade, however, remains very quiet. Business at Manchester has been interfered with by the intervention of the Easter holidays. The late decline, however, brought several buyers in the market, and some business has been done both in long cloths and printers. There is no improvement to report in the general trade of Birmingham ; some few orders have been given out for general brass foundry, but most of the principal establishments continue slack, and the men are upon short time ; and in the hardware trades of Walsall and Wolverhamp ton there is no improvement whatever to report. The 4th of the month has not passed over so satisfactorily as was anticipated, two important failures having been announced. These are Messrs. Maitland, Ewing and Co., and Messrs. Newcomen, Noble and Co., both in the Ind a trade. The former was also largely connected with China ; the liabilities of that firm are estimated at between 200,0001, and 300,0001., but it is thought that they will be paid in full. With regard to the Latter, it is stated that the liabilities are limited ; but at the same time tLe assets do not promise a very satisfactory return. The money market continues in an exceedingly easy state, the supply being still largely in excess of the commercial demand. First-class bills are readily negotiated at 2i per cent. The last Bank return was rather unfavourable in its tendency, but the changes were chiefly attributable to the usual quarterly disbursements, and not to any adverse movement in financial affairs. The Vimiera, from New South Wales, has just arrived, but it is not yet known what amount of gold she has onboard. The Morning Light, from Mel bourne, is also announced with 17,329 ounces of gold, Valued at 69,4001. The receipts of specie from that quarter will, no doubt, insure a further increase in the bullion, as the export dem ind continues Very limited. To India the remittances have fal!en off, and even if consignments to some extent should be made to America, they are not likely to assume any serious proportions. Very little business is reported in the East India debentures, and they are quoted at 98. These securities are not likely to become very popu lar till after all the instalments are paid, the liability of " calls" always being a cheek to buoyancy. The Market for English Securities opened with a very unfavourable appearance, chiefly owing to a statement that some parcels of gold have been taken from the Bank for remittance to New York, Where the exchange has become unfavourable to this country. Now, however, quotations appear stronger, but there is very little business in progress, owing to the proximity of sett ling day. Consols are marked 96i for money and the Bth proximo, and the pre sent price is 964 ; for May they are 9CI. Exche quer Bills are 355. to 395. prem., the Bonds 99k, and India ditto 16s. to 19s. prem. Bank Stock is 226. Numerous transactions are reported in the Fo reign Stock Market. Tnrl:l4h F per Cents. have been 1001 101 f, and the 4 per Cents. 104. Sar dinian Bonds are marked 901 to 91k. Spanish 3 per Cents. 43 Russian 1091. Peruvian 4i per Cents. 83. Buenos Ayres 77k, and Chdian 104. The following are the nominal prices of foreign Stocks :—Mexican, 191 20 ; Peruvia❑ 4i per Cents., 82 84; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 99 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 44 44i ; ditto New Deferred, 26} A very limited business has been transacted this Morning in the Railway Share Market, and a slight downward tendency is apparent in most of the leading lines, prices having been influenced by the heaviness in the Consol Market. Eastern Counties, Lancahire and Yorkshire, Midland and North Eastern (York), declined ss. ; Great Wes tern, North Western, and North Eastern (Ber wick), 10s. ; and Great Northern, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines are very quiet. East Indian have declined 10s. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 15s. ; Paris and Lyons, ss. Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares are very inactive and show a downward tendency in prices. Bank of Egypt have receded ss. ; London and Westminster, ss. ; London General Omnibus Company, ss. ; and Royal Mail Steam, 11. lIRITISH FUNDS THIS DAT AT ONE ( From the O f ficial List:) Ansinem; dere 3 per Cent.

Another unusual, but important, article of shipment to the m other country h a s come t o b ar d i n th e same vessel, being a con s id era bl e quant i ty of b lack san d , con t a ining rich tin cre, besides a large admixture of gold. The tin ore yields, it is stated from seventy to eighty per *mat. of pure metal. The value o f th e san d in the Ovens district is about 401. per ton ; but being carried such a considerable distance up the Murray to the port of e mbarkation, the cost to the shipper is greatly io excess of the producing price mentioned. The quantity 'which can be obtained is said to be almost without limit a ndit is exp ec t e d that it will become a staple export to this eonntry,--,Mining hurnal, April 3. This Day). RAILWAY ts.

The supplies of wheat on offer in ihe conntry markets held on Saturday, were very moderato; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices were the turn in favour of buyers. Barley and all the other spring corn moved off steadily, at extreme quotations. Flour, however, was very dull. The continental markets continue fall, yet the fluctua tions in prices are trifling. Our American advices come very inactive. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown produce were very moderate. From abroad, we received 7,344 quarters of wheat, 2,65 bane?, 3,875 oats, 1,950 beans, 5 tares, 11,515 linseed, 5,230 rapeseed, S 5 sundry seeds, 1,506 sacks and 501 barrels of fbur. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise and br land carriage, was even smaller than on Monday last ; indeed, it scarcely amounted to 1,000 quarters. For allkinds, however, the demand was somewhat firm, and, in wine instances, prices were is per quarter higher than on Monday last. Thera was rather an extensive show of most kinds of foreign wheat. Even the finest samples were quite neglected, and so little business was thing that prices ruled nominally the same as last week. In floating cargoes of grain very few transactions took place. There was very little barley on die, aither English or foreign. The trade was decidedly firm at very full prices. For malt, there was a fair demand, at full quotations. We were scantily supplied with oats, which sold steadily at fully last week's currency to ls. per quarter advance. Beans changed hands ireely, at fel, prices. We had a good demand for peas, ai is. per quarter more money. In flour, very little was doing, at last week's decline in value. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with many previous weeks, the arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh up this morning, were very limited, and most breeds came to hand in but poor condition. Owing to the moderate supplies of moat on sale in the dead market, and to the favourable weather for slaughter ing, the beef trade ruled steady, at an advance in the quo tations realised on Monday last of fully 2d., in some in _ _ _ stances, 4d. per lb. The primest lots sold without diffi culty, at 4.. 6d., per elbs., and a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,800 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts o f England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 100 Scots, and from Ireland, 2W oxen. With sheop we were very moderately supplied for the time of year; but most breeds came to hand in fair con dition. There was a decided improvement in the general tone of the mutton trade ; and, in some cases, prices were the turn higher. The general top figure for Downs in the wool was 55., but some few pens realised ss. 2d. per 81bs. Downs out of the wool wont at 4s, 4d. to 4s. 6d. per 81133, The show of lambs was limited, and the demand for them ruled steady at from 6s. to 7s. per 8 lbs.

The April session of this C.turt commenced this morn ing at the Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor (Sir R. W. Carden, Kni., M.P.), Sir C. Marshall, AHertnan Fitrneo.ube, Al , ieriipsn Sir F. G. Moon, Bart., Alder man and Sheriff Allen, Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard, and Mr. Under-Sheriff Parker. The calendar contains the names of 143 prisoners for trial, embracing one charge of murder; one as accessory before the fact of murder ; one for bigamy, three for forgery ; thirteen for burglary, and three for malieiou , ly wounding. The remaining cases are of the ordinary character. The grand jury having been sworn, The learned Recorder charged them with reference to the cases in the calendar, He explained thelarge num ber of prisoners for trial as arising more from the lengthened period that elapsed between this and the last session, than from an increase of crime, and said the cases generally were not of a very serious cbaracter. He was, however, sorry to say there was one charge a wilful murder, viz., that of Giovanni Lani, for the wilful mu: der of Heloise Tauhin. The general evidence against him from the depositions that had been returned was that the woman was found dead in the evening and had not been seen by any one since the previous night. The prisoner spent that evening in her company, and was seen to leave the house about 7 o'clock in the morning of the day on which the woman was found dead. He was shortly after taken into custody, when property was found in his possession which the murdered woman hail in her possession immediately before she was seen in the prisoner's company, There were three charges of man slaughter, but by some accident or other he had only before him the deposition in one case—that of the man slaughter of a lad on board ship. There could be no doubt that the cause of death in point of law came under that of manslaughter, but he thought it would be found to be a case differing in degree to that which ordinarily ranked under that name. The next case of a serious description was a charge of arson with intent to defraud an insurance office. The evidence, as was usual in such cases, was of a circumstantial character, but it would be their duty narrowly to watch the evidence to see that it led to the conclusion that the pri soner set fire to the premises with the intention laid in the indictment. The next case to which he then directed their attention was one, happily, not of an ordinary description. Simon Bernard was charged with conspiracy with other persons to assassinate the Emperor of the French. It was not necessary for him to call their attention minutely to the facts of the case, and still less to call their attention to the law of the case. Supposing there should be any doubts as to whether the English law was applicable to cases of this kind, he could scarcely imagine they could reasonably entertain it, but leave it to be discussed at another time and before another tribunal. Their duty would be to ascertain whether the facts proved before them were sufficient, in their judgment, to call on the prisoner to answer the charge of conspiring with others to effect the object charged in the indictment. In such a case they must not expect to have direct evidence of the charge, because persons engaged in the pelfsrasance of wicked ' actions, did not openly engage in them or in the presence of good :nen, and therefore the only direct evidence they would obtain was that of an accomplice. Supposing such to be laid before them, it . would be their duty to ascertain whether there was any confirmatory evidence, from purer sources than that of the accomplice, so as to lead them to believe him, notwithstanding the suspicion his l i participation in the acts had cast on him. No such person was examined before the committing magistrate, and he (the recorder) was not aware if such would be produced before them. Supposing the same evidence was laid before them as was taken by the magistrate, it would appear that on the 14th January last, an attempt was made to assassinate the Emperor of the French, in which two persons named Orsini and Rudio were engaged, but they were unknown to many of the witnesses by those names, but Orsini as Allsop, and Rudio as Da Silva. The evidence would go to show that the attempt to assassinate the Emperor of the French was to be made by the use of grenades, and that the prisoner dealt with the particular ones used. Evidence would be adduced to show that the prisoner sent the grenades to Brussels, and was there in company with Orsini, and, i❑ connec tion with him, forwarded them by a person to Paris ; that he purchased materials for making fulminating powder, with which the grenades were charged ; and that one of the persons engaged in the attempt was em ployed by the prisoner, provided with money and clothes, and his wife maintained by the pri soner during her hetaband's absence in Paris, upon th prisoner's business. Most of the evidence would be given by foreigners, and as it was necessary they should have a knowledge of the case to elicit the necessary facts from the witnesses, if they wished it an officer of the court should attend, acquainted with the facts of the case, and assist them in examining the witnesses, and elioiting the necessary evidence. The other oases, to which he now called their attention, were those of True love and Tchersewski, charged with having published a defamatory and malicious libel, concerning the Emperor of the French, with intent to incite others to assassinate the Emperor of the French. There was no question that by the law of this country it was an indictable offence to publish a libel on the head of a foreign Government in amity with this country with intent to defame and vilify him, but, at the same time, in applying that law it was necessary to consider it with caution, lest in any way they interfered with the right of free discussion, which we in this country possessed, because the same law that applied to the bead of a foreign Government in amity with our own, applied to the heads of our own Government, whose conduct, and the character, tendency, and motives of their acts, we claim a right freely to discuss. It was ex ceedingly difficult to define the exact boundary between what constituted libel, and the right of exercising free discussion, and in all cases of the kind it was necessary to trust to the good sense and intelligence of grand juries, before whom such charges were preferred, to draw the boundary line, and it would be for them to say, looking at the whole character of the publication, and judging of the intention of the party by the tendency of the language used, whether the object of the writer was to vilify and defame, and go beyond that free discussion to which he bad alluded. In the present cases I the charges were not only for publishing false and defamatory libels, but with intent to incite persons to assassinate the Emperor of the French. In the indictment passages from the alleged libels were inserted, but it was not his intention to direct their at tention to them because the whole of the publication would be laid before them. It, no doubt, sometimes occurred that particular passages were greatly controlled by the context, and it would be for them to say, looking fairly at the whole of the publication, whether its natural tendency was to incite other parties to assassinate the individual he had named. Supposing they were of that opinion, they would be bound in law as well as common sense to presume it was the intention of the party by whom the language was used to retur❑ a true bill against the parties charged. By so doing they did not decide the case, the party charged could not offer an explanation of his conduct before them ; but if they thought the case required further investigation, an opportunity was then given to the parties charged of explaining their language and its tendency, and it was the duty of another tribunal to decide as to the guilt or innocence of the party charged in the indictment. The grand jury then retired. EABLI MARRIAGES. —There was much more chance of eaily marriages, and happy ones too, whin neigh bours of that large class who have children at their desire, but little eubstanca to leave them, met as neighbours : when personal intercourse was more unre strained ; when a lad could grow up in intimacy with another family, and learn to call the girls by their Christian names, without any fear of being asked his intentions ; when there were such things as fishing parties, and lounging in gardens, and country rides and rambles on long summer mornings, and family dinners and round games on winter's nights; not to speak of extempore dances, to which no one minded going ai,d returning eight or ten miles, packed into any kind of conveyance, six inside, or, well wrapped up, three in a gig—"the more the merrier." Those were the days, not exactly when we were young, for they were rather before our time, but of which our fathers have told us ; those were the days to live in ! when it was not con sidered " ungenteel''—that was the old ward—or incor rect to walk home, if need were, two or three miles on a clear frosty night ; or if the roads were muddy, it was only a splashed ankle ; there were ankles then ; flounces had not yet grown down to the toes. Men fell in love in those days—they couldn't help themselves ; walking into it deliberately, after debate duly held pro and con., is a much slower process. Suppose there was a stolen kiss now and then : bless ns, don't be shocked, my dear young ladies—it don't hurt nobody—it was not a whit more improper, and maoh more pleasant, you may take my word for it, than your present waltz and polka, which we, remember, not so many years ago either, felt our propriety shocked at.

Few horses have arrived, and the " special" brought only a small accession of visitors. The night is bright, but cold withal, and the fineness of the weather has induced the visitors to promenade the street, or to form themselves into little conversational knots under the shadow of the New Rooms. The latest rumours are the topics of dis cussion, and they are sifted and commented upon with a warmth and earnestness worthy of the Temple Forum. The hostility which has been arrayed against Mentmore for the Two Thousand occupies the attention of one small group, and some light is thrown on the subject by a new comer's stating that the horse was tried with New Brighton on Saturday morning, and found very much wanting indeed. This new corner states his conviction that Mentmore is not worth fourpence. From Mentmore the conversation is turned to the latest arrivals, and the antics of Anton at exercise this morning excite some curiosity. It appears that the horse reared, and popped the lad who was riding him on to the ground. Anton got loose, but quietly went up to Alfred Day, who was on a hack, and did no damage either to himself or to anything else. "Alfred" afterwards mounted him, and sent him merrily along. The horse seemed quiet enough, and did not display much of that temper which the hard work that he went through last year caused him to show. Before these desultory notes meet the reader's eye, the great match between Kent aed Anton will be decided. The appearance of Vedette and Ignoramus is next discussed. Vedette has not lost that " dot and go one" style of going which characterisd him last year. It iss even said that whilst walking he limps worse than ever, and that his old complaint, rheumatism in the feet, grows upon him. After a gallop, however, and when thoroughly warmed, he loses all his lameness and gees bowling along in that cricket hall style which distinguished him last year. Ignoramus is as big, lumbering. and ugly as ever, and his great club foot does not improve his appearance. " How about the handicap horses," suggests a," well informed party" in another throng. Then a budget of good and bad news is opened. Amsterdam has done no work for weeks. The French horse, Monarqwe, goes well and looks like staying. Brother to Bird•on-the- Wing appears soft, and does not seem to care for a dis tance. Fadladeen is a big and somewhat unfinished colt, requiring a good scope of ground. East Langton re much improved, and is greatly fancied ; he has grown and rounded into a remarkably compact colt. Pavilion is the pet of the Newmarket division. Since the Hough ton Meeting she has been scarcely stopped a fortnight in her work. " Can she stay I" Why, of course, she can —didn't her race for the Feather Plate, which she ought to have won easy, prove that I Wouvermans has only just come in; his party fancy him, and he has had no sash trial this time. Stapleton, too, is mentioned with favour ; the Dividend filly and others are classiad with the ragged let that could not win if they had only fourpenny bit and a railway ticket tied to their tail. In another quarter the spirit of inquiry is directed into a new channel. "Many men, many minds," and opinions different to those held by one group of loungers are exchanged and believed by another. Telegram is a three-cornered horse, and not much improved. Eclipse has not been seen, but people talk of him as if he were labouring under the Clydesdale epidemic. Star of the East has galloped several times, and is thought likely to win all his engagements, if Charles the Second do not corns which is deemed improbable and it the Cymba colt be not sent for from Danebury. Wrestler has not arrived, and Gunboat is scratched for all his engagements this week, so opinions agree that Fisherman will win the 100 Boys Plate on Wednesday. Such are the Sayings and Doings which have come to my knowledge since I have been located in this town. About a dozen starters are likely to sho-s for the Newmarket Handicap, a somewhat larger field than this event has of late years commanded. Monarque, with Ashmall "up," is deservedly fancied by his own party, and the remembrance of his success at Goodwood last year cause English tnrfites to regard his cbanca with some fondness. For that event he beat a good three-yr-old like Riseber, at 211bs, and he is now called upon to meet Fadladeen, Pavilion, and Wouvermans—horses certainly not of the Riseber stamp—on much worse terms. The question is, will he be capable of conceding lumps of ' weight, not only to the three-yr-olds, but to a four-yr• idd horse, moderate though he be, like Worcester / I must pause for a reply until after the race. I expect Monarque to obtain a very forward position, but I scarcely deem him good enough to win. Fadla deen, according to his running last year, should be a most dangerous competitor, and East Langton I bold in nigh estimation. Of the 3 yr-old horses, my partiality is for Pavilion ; if she be amongst the starters I shall expect her to compensate her party for the wentdisappoint which Eloquence occasioned them last year. Wouvermans will be again backed by his owner and friends, but he ran a bad horse at Northampton. Isbell place my hopes in WORCESTER Awn PAVILION; but should the mare be withdrawn, I shall couple EAST LANGITON with Mr. Hughes's horse. _ The 50 sous. Sweep,takes will add another item to the .virming score of Proud Preston Peg ; and Leontes wid secure the Tuesday's Riddlesworth. Lord of Lorn is not expected, and Eclipse will have only Eurydice to trouble him for the Sale Stakes, for in Telegram I have little faith. Star of the East is my choice for the Column Stakes, albeit it is expected that the Knight of Kars will be capable of making him bide his diminished head. The soarer Streamer will win his match, Fisherman the 100 Sove Plate. Rose de Florence will make Humming Bird sing small, and Ignoramus ought to beat Kent for The Claret Stakes. Arsenal may, however, be sent for to make up a show in the race. Costrel will win his engagement on Thurs day, and Leontes will come successfully through his ou Friday. I shall trust the lame'un, Vedette, for the Port. The Handicap Plate, has obtained a nu merically strong entry ; from the thirty-two nomina tions I shall select Monarque and Misty Morn. The chances for Catterick do not require calculation, and the meeting is too remote for me to indulge in a little guess work at the winners. A FRESH MAN. R AITIVA Y INrELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN. Eileen Stitiou, 3d April, 1858. The London and North-Western Board have to acknowledge and thank the deputations for their further minute dated 31st March, from which it would appear that the deputations consider the proposed agreement for equal rates proceeds on the assumption that it is to be " permanent ;" but the observance of such an agreement could not be en sured, even for a day, which is the only and sufi cient reason why the London and North-Western did not contend for a longer term than three months, when that term was proposed by the Shef field and Great Northern Companies. In reference to the following observation of the deputation as to the agreement of July, 1854--. "the only question upou which there is any sub. stantial difference between the parties," viz ; "The deputation repeats now, that nothing which it does is intended to interfere with the North-Western Company's rights to use that agreement before a parliamentary committee, in the same manner as if no thing had taken place on the part of the North-Western Company in deference to the wishes of this deputation. "The deputation has throughout conceived that while the agreement of 1854 may be ultra vires, yet, wh en considered'' as a question not of law, but of morality and party was jus good faith, a committee cf tue Hous e c f P ar l iament may which feel that it was a compact which neithe r t s te e d to on the tribunal ng w - of gent e f e submittin g any questi ons at h the agreement i had itself created for their determination ; and whether the suit be proceeded with or not to its fullest extent, the argument will still remain unimpaired, that any c orn ., pany receding from an agreement without sufficient jug. tification, is not entitled to legislative assistance towards forming fresh combinations which that agreement w as intended to prevent. "The deputation desires to reiterate that each in its view ait ke the Pitrliamentary position of theNorth-Wes tern Company in its opposition to any of the bills which the Sheffield Company is now promoting, or to which it is a party, as arising out of the severance, of its connec tion with tl e North-Western and its alliance with other companifel The London and North-Western directors are ad vised and believe, that any agreement or engagement on their part to limit the exercise of the company's legal rights, would prejudice, perhaps fatally, their case, both in the Courts and before Parliament, where they are compelled to appear, most unwillingly, in defence of their tiroperty against aggressive and wrongful acts. As evidence, however, that the London and North Western Directors do not con template needless litigation, they offer, without reservation, that, in the event of their taking any proceedings in relati in to the agreement of July, 1854, beyond those admitted by the Deputations to be necessary and proper ; then the otter party may at once deprive the London and North Western Company of any advantage which they may be supposed to derive from a cessation of the present reckle,vs competition. The Directors of the London and North Wistern Company are quite unable to perce.ve how the present ruinous rates can be necessary to, or can assist in, the judicial decision of the varoui matters at issue between the Companies which are all in c quite of determination—the continuance of those injurious rates cannot be justified on the plea that either Company can, by such means, extort con cessions greater than they can hope to obtain from the proper tribunals. Ihe London and North Western Directors have ordered the rates and fares between London and Peterborough to be restored to the rates fixed by the Great Northern (as the company possessing the shortest route), and they are willing, and offer, without any stipulation (except that the rates shall be the same by both routes), at once, and uncon ditionally, to restore the rates and fares at all other points where the companies are in competition, to those in operation prior to the present contest, or to such other scale, and for whatever period, the depu tations shall consider reasonable. The continu ance, therefore, or cessation, of the present feck less competition, rests with the Sheffield and Great Northern companies. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT ON THE MAN CHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY. An accident of an alarming,character occurred to the 6.30 p.m. train from Manchester on Thursday evening. The train, which consisted of seven carriages, with a break van in front and be hind, arrived at and left Penistono within a minute of its usual time. Only one of the carriages was of the first class. From an investigation made since, it is clear that the accident arose from the breaking of the tire of one of the hind wheels of this carriage which was filled with passengers for Sheffield: When the train had reached about two miles be yond Penistone, and was at full speed, the passen gers were thrown into a state of alarm by the fear ful jolting of the carriages. The first-class carriage had lost its bind wheels, which, having become twisted under the second-class carriage behind, threw it off the rail, but not till its fore wheels were also detached from the body. Tho coupling chain between the two carriages at tit's moment broke. The second.-class carriage, with the brake van behind crossed the space between the two seta of rails, and both were suddenly brought to a stand by being upset upon the opposite rails. The passengers, eight in number, were thrown upon one another, and se veral received severe contusions. The engine and the rest of the carriages continued their course. The firs'-class carriage was dragged at the tail of the others, minus its hind wheels, for a distance of about half a mile, the passengers in that and the ad joining carriages shouting and screaming, and one of them using a dog whistle, in the hope of making themselves heard by the engine -driver. The train at length was brought to a stand at the entrance of the Outhwatie teunuel. One of the pas- engers, Mr. Eadon, in his fear of being carried into the tunnel, jumped out of the train whilst it was in motion, and being thrown to the ground was rather seriously bruised and cut on the head and One leg. The driver of the engine (Sedgwick), it appears had not heard the alarm made by the pas sengers. He states he was first aware of something being wrong in the train by the coupling chain in the first van and tender snapping asunder. The line at this point is on a decline. He saw, there fore, that if he had checked his engine, it would have bsen run into by the carria ges briliind, and the collision must have resulted in tl.e death of some of the passengers. He, therefore, with great discretion, kept his en g ine ahead, until the momen tum of the carriages having become exhausted by the drag of the broken one at the tail, they were brought to a stand. Some of the passengers then ran back in search of Mr. Eadon, and assisted him to the train. It was not then known how far the other carriage and van had been dragged behind. The engine -driver, therefore, instead of searching for them, released himself of the broken first-class carriage, and hastened forward with the other por tion of he train, to give warning at th e W ort l ey station of the line being obstructed. The train then came forward to Sheffield, which place it reached about half an hour after its proper time. The guard left with the detached part of the train had, in the meantime, run back to the Penistone station, and telegraphed to Sheffield for assistance. The line was soon cleared of the two broken car riages and van, and some displaced rails restored. The passengers who had been left behind made their way to the Penistone station, and were brought forward to Sheffield by the next train, which arrived at half-past 11 o'clock. Many of the passengers in various parts of the train received severe bruises, but none of any serious injury. FATAL ACCIDENT IN NEW S. - OREHAM HARBOUR.-TWO LIVES LOST.

The helm was entrusted to Dinnage, who assumed the command with a firm determination to put the boat thoroughly through her paces. A stiff breeze was blowing at the mo ment of embarkation, and when the party had cleared the wharf and reached the opposite point at what is called the Saltings, Matthews cautioned Dinnage against straining the boat beyond her powers, and advised him to l u ff. Dinuage replied, " Oh, et her go, let her go," an d i n a few minutes afterwards a squall caught her and sent both the owner and helmsman to eternity. Matthews, who is noted for his obesity, and for the hair-breadth escapes he has had in the channel, swam, or rather rolled, to a shoal place in the river, where he ob tained a footing, and where he remained up to his arm-pits in the water until a boat came and brought him ashore. As the accident occurred close to and within sight of the wharf, a number of boats instantly put off, and after dredging for about half-an-hour, the body of Dinnage was picked up, but that of King was not discovered until more than an hour after the lAititreplie.
