OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Baron PLATT.) MANSLAUGHTER ON THE EASTERN COUN- TIES RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Brown resided at Tottenham, and was formerly in connexion with Mr. Jackson, the contractor. He knew the prisoner, who had entered their service in June, 1844, and after being a short time employed as fitter, he was subsequently made engine-driver, and drove on the line each day for about six months. He seemed to wit ness a careful, cautious man—in fact, extremely so, and was well acquainted with the signals. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He thought it in dispensably necessary that there should be a competent fireman sent with the driver. John Bennisch proved that Clare had been in the habit of driving engines. Cross-examined by Mr. CLAERSON — He knew nothing of an engine himself, but he supposed all was right as nothing went wrong when he had seen him driving. Thomas Scott, under-foreman of the locomotive de partment, went with the prisoner Clare and Quennell, the foreman, to Romford with a disabled carriage, and they afterwards returned with some trucks, and two other persons in the employment of the company. One of the men came up to him, but he did not give Lim per mission to get upon the engine. The other man was taken up on the road. After they got the trucks they waited at the Rumford station till the passenger train had passed. He could not say how long they had waited, but he should suppose some fifteen minutes. At Ilford the signal was down, and stopped the engine, because, as he said, " it was against them." When the signal was raised, they passed on at the rate of from twenty five to forty miles an hour. He could see the steam of the passenger train at Ilford. He started from that place some six or eight minutes before witness, and those with him stopped. When they left Ilford they started at the same rate as before. There was no train expected to follow them soon. He did not see the signal until he was at it, and th e n he saw red. The engine -driver was then blowing his wh i st l e . He noticed the train at the platform after they had passed the signal, and they then tried to stop by easing their breaks, but were unsuccessful. Cross-examined by Mr. CuemßEas—He; was ordered to send Clare with the engine to Romford, and he did partiay order Quennel t,o g o v ass fireman. Clare said g " Here is Bill , Bill can o. itness asked Quennel if H be had " fired" before ? e answered, " Yes." He might have read the notice in the engine-, that n o " fitter was $o drive an engine." lie bad room often seen it since. He dared not send a competent engineer, when his master ordered him to send Clare. The back of the signal was white, and any person looking at it from the bridge would nee no other colour. The average of an engineer's pay might be five shilling • or 6s. a day. A fitter could make 30s. a week. An engine driver had 6s a day. After leaving Ilford, and before they reached Forest Hill station, two miles from Stratford, Clare shut off the steam, so as to go slower. There was no signal at the Forest-gate, and he turned on the steam again. There was a man who put his head out of a box window on the hill, but he observed no signal. He knew that it was customary where there were no standing signals to have men stationed on the line. The most expeditious way to stop the engine would be to turn the steam the opposite way, and apply the breaks to the tender. If the valves were out of order the engine would not act so readily. He tried to make the breaks act, but they did not do so readily. The Fire-fly had since the accident been taken to pieces, but it would no doubt be brought into use when thoroughly repaired. The chimney of the en gine was somewhat damaged when Captain Cod dington tried it next day. He was not aware that it had been repaired before that time. Witness had been given into custody along with five others, but he was discharged after being before the magistrate. He saw the engine taken to pieces, but he did not ob serve that the reversing lever was out of order. He had no doubt that there was somethinc , to do with it. There was a piece of string on the top of the lever at the time of the accident, which was intended to supply some de fect. He did not see that the regulator was not in order. William Wenstead was employed to repair the engine. Mr. Samuels was the resident engineer. Neither Mr. Locke nor Mr. Braithwaite attended, to his knowledge. Charles Tomlinson was taken up on the engine on. the day of the accident. Clare was driving, and witness observed him trying to stop the engine at the second bridge from the station. He did not remember coming into the station. He believed be was on the tender after, but he was so frightened as to be utterly uncon scious of what was going on.—(Laughter.) William Kent, plate layer on the Eastern Counties Railway, was near the Ilford station, and saw the train passing and the engine following at a distance of less than a mile, and goirg mach faster than the train. George Birch, manager of the signal at the Ilford station. He remembered the arrival of the Ilford up train on the day of the accident. It was due there at 46 minutes past three; while the train remained at the station, and while the signal was down he saw an en gine and some trucks which stopped when the signal was seen. After the train had gone on five minutes he made the signal to come on slowly, which was attended to. He had known Clare drive engines before on the Cambridge line. Cross-examined by Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—The Ipswich train was fifteen minutes after the time it be came due. It was the duty of the station-master, when a:train departed and another was to come in immediately after, to hang out a red ball to the first train, in order to keep the line clear. They had not done so at IlfOrd, because they were not aware that there was another train approaching. - Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—Why, you say the two trains were at the station. Witness—The signal was considered sufficient. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—Then you don't think it necessary to attach the red ball ? Witness—Not to ordinary trains. Mr. Justice MAULE—But this was not an ordinary train ; it was an extra train? Witness—But we thought the signal sufficient. "'Mr. Justice MAULE—Then your not hanging out this red ball was contrary to your orders. Witness—We only do that when the train is a spe cial one. Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Then several trains are allowed to pass on without the red ball, although trains are ex pected to follow immediately. (Witness —Precisely ; the red ball is always placed in case of special trains. Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Then it is only for the benefit of the directors, when: they are on the line. You take especial care of them.—(Laughter.) Witness—l can't say how that is, sir. Mr. Justice MAULE—How far is Forest-gate from Il ford ? Witness—About a mile. Mr. Justice illAtiLE—Then if the red ball had been attached the man at the Forest-hill station would have been able to stop the train that followed. Cross-examination continued—The windlass that worked the fans was distant f.tom the latter about 150 yards. He did not know what the signal of one yellow fan meant.—(Laughter.) Mr. M. CHAMBERS—And yet you act as station master at Ilford. What do the other colours mean? Witness—The green meant caution ; one red below the green meant that there was something in advance ; two reds meant to stop altogether. In foggy weather a lamp was placed under the fans, but it did not always show them. Thomas Scott considered the prisoner a competent person to drive a train. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner ap plied to him to be allowed to drive a passenger train, which application was refused. He was allowed to drive a goods train, because the driver on the latter did not require to look out so sharply as on the first. John Thorpe, engine-driver—Knew Quennel, who was removed from the London and Birmingham Railway for incapacity. Mr. Samuels, resident engineer on the line, proved the distances of the signals from the different stations, and. in cross-examination, admitted that if the red board had been affixed to the preceeding train the collision might have been avoided. Captain Coddington, RE., attached to the railway department of the Board of Trade, went down to Strat ford, and examined the station and windlass. The signal could be seen from the platform, and on the other side for 200 yards. With the view of testing whether this was sufficient to enable a person of ordinary prudence to stop before entering the station, he got the Fire-fly and the same trucks, and going to Ilford, he same back to Sratford at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Without any previous concert with the driver, he ordered him to stop at a point 445 yards from the platform, and the engine was stcpped in time by the simple application of the breaks. He then went on, and when he came opposite a place where a man was placed with a red flag, he ordered the breaks to be applied again, and the engine, though going before at the rate of 30 miles an hour, stopped at the distance of 468 yards. He went to Ilford again, and although' he performed the half-mile before coming to Stratford in 58 seconds, he was enabled, by the application of the breaks, and reversing the engine, to stop short some 10 or 12 yards of the station. A shower of rain came on at the time, which rendered the action of the breaks less perfect. When he applied the break, he observed that four wheels out of the six were locked, and the remain ing two revolved very slowly. When the engine was re versed, he found it to act very well. In his opinion, the means at the disposal of an engine-driver of skill and care would be sufficient to prevent any collision with a train at the Stratford station, if he adopted the proper precautions when he came in sight of the signal. Cross examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He did not drive the engine himself, but he did not require to stoop in order to see the signal. If the driver of an engine were not well acquainted with a line he should have the as sistance of a competent fireman. He should not be afraid to drive over a length of 25 miles if he had gone over the line thrice before, but he could not be expected to remember the points on a line of 100 miles. It there were no permanent signal it would be the duty of the company to have persons between the intermediate stations to show a signal to prevent a succeeding train from following that which had passed immediately before. If the person at Forest-hill had shown a signal of danger it might have prevented the collision. The case was here adjourned for a short time. THE C.►DIDEN-TOWN RIOT.—The prisoners (seventeen in number) who yesterday pleaded guilty of riotous con duct and assault, were respectively sentenced to periods of three, four, six, and nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.] Mr. iIIoNTAGUE CHA3IBERs, in his address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, complained of the extreme un fairness with which the case had been opened by the Learned Attorney-General. His Learned Friend acted under the instructions of the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, who endeavoured to screen the mis management which was notoriously knosn to exist on their line by crushing one of the very meanest of their servants. This trial he (Mr. Chambers) contended was not instituted for the purpose of eliciting facts, but for the nominal purpose of exhibiting to the world the desire the ostentatious desire of the Eastern Counties Company, to attend to the public safety, while really it was intended for the sole purpose of fixing upon a humble, a prudent, a sober, but poor man, the onus of errors which were attributable solely to themselves. This man, incompe tent to the task of conducting an engine—this man, im paired in his vision—this man, who was paid 255. a week by the company—this man, assisted by another man to act as fireman, a person who had been already discharged from another situation of a similar kind for unfitness—was sent with an imperfect engine, which had been before that time declared unfit for passenger traffic to Romford. He left that place to return to Stratford—and here, if the company really sought to fix the guilt on the proper parties, they should have shown that the signals on the line were properly managed, and that their instructions had been fully attended to. The Learned Counsel having concluded, Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and finished at six o'clock. I'he jury briefly considered, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner, of course, was immediately discharged. CAPTAIN RICIIARDSON.—We understand that Captain Richardson was this day discharged from custody. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the friends of Alderman Wood was held this day, at the Crown Tavern, Bow-lane, Cheap side, for the purpose of adopting the means necessary to secure his election to the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. Mr. Deputy MUDDLE was voted to the chair, and ex plained the object of the meeting, and stated also that some difference of opinion existed between the friends of Alderman Wood, with respect to his standing for the Mayoralty this year, but that the majority •were of opinion that he should do so. Alderman Wobn here entered, and was unani mou,ly applauded. The worthy Alderman en tered into a detail of the events connected with his private character, and alluded to the manner in which ho had discharged the functions that had been vested in him by his brother liverymen of the ward, dwelling particularly on the way in which he distri buted the charities placed at his disposal by virtue of his office. Mr. Deputy LAKE then proposed, and Mr. WILSON seconded, a resolution to the effect that every person present should exert himself to the best of his ability to secure the election of Alderman Wood to the civic chair. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. GLOUCESTER, ABERYST WITH, AND CENTRAL WALES RAILWAY COM- PANY.—(TIIIS DAY.) An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this company took place to-day at the London Tavern. None of the officers of the company being present, neither the chairman (the Hon. H. Berkley), or any of the direc tors, solicitor, or secretary. Shortly before two o'clock, Mr. Kriox was unanimously called to the chair ; upon taking which, he animadverted in most severe terms upon the conduct of the chairman, the directors, and officers of the company, in the course they had pursued, and unhesitatingly declared that the directors bad been guilty of a breach of trust in the appropriation of the funds of the company. From the results of the accounts submitted to the last meeting, it would appear that the , solicitors and agents of the company had been paid 8,2731., and that there was still due to them 9,5141., mak ing a total of 17,7871.—(Cries of" Oh, oh.") The en gineers and surveyors had been paid 6,0841., and there remained due 4,0211., making a total of 10,105/.—(oh.) there had been paid for printing, stationary, and adver tising, 2.484/. Tradesmen's accounts, to the amount of 1,3371. bad been paid, and 8721. was still due. For secretary's superintendence, office - and house ex penses, 2,1641. had been paid, and 3061. remained due.— (Cries of •' Oh, oh.") The assetts nominally of the Company were 22,4341. of thia sum they had been told 16,0971. had been applied to the purchase of shares, about 4,0001. hud been attached in a law suit, 1641. was due from another railway company, 1,8001. was named as the value of the lease and fixtures, and only 374/. was in their bankers' hands to meet claims amouting to 14,716/.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Shame, shame.") In the circular addressed to all the original allottees the directors stated that they were prepared in February last to pay the necessary deposits into the office of the Accountant-General, although they stated that they had invested 16,0001. Mr. John Bentley, Mr. G. D. Clark, and Mr. John Clark, having been appointed scrutineers, one of those appointed at the last meeting having discovered he was not a shareholder, Mr. G. D. CLARKE read the report of the committee of investigation appointed. at the last meeting, from which it appeared, that all information by the directors, the solicitor, and the secretary. was refused to be given to the committee appointed by the shareholders, and that that committee was treated with contempt and defiance by all the officers of the company. The report concluded by stating that the Committee regretted that they were unable, in consequence of the course that had been adopted, to throw any light on the affairs of the company. The Committee were, however, of opinion that every exertion should be made to ob tain a dissolution of the company, and to prosecute the strictest investigation into its affairs, as ,well as into the conduct of the promoters and managing committee. —(Hear, hear.) But, after mature deliberation, the committee were not prepared to recommend that the dissolution should be taken to be an act of bankauptcy. They w ere, however, of opinion that out of the disas trous state of the company this consolation might be extracted, that the transaction of the so-called invest ment of 16,0001., and other circumstances, would enable the shareholders to recover the whole of the deposits (Hear, hear) and they would have the power to take measures to compel the directors to do them justice. The committee, in conclusion, ex pressed their unmitigated indignation at the culpable in difference, or premeditated defiance, to their wishes on the part of the managing committee, which they con sidered alike insulting to them, and the large body of the shareholders. A long discussion then took place with reference to the question of dissolution, in the course of which the eenduct of the directors and all the officers of the com pany was most severely animadverted upon, and a de termination expressed to use every means to bring them to account for their disgraceful conduct in the affairs of the company. The Scrutineers then proceeded to take the votes of the shareholders, and at five o'clock they reported thal the number of votes they had taken was 7,763, that of that number 7,528 had voted for the dissolution, and 235 against it; that 1,833 voted for the dissolution being an act of bankruptcy, and 5,730 against its being so. The CHAIRMAN declared that there was not a sufficient number of voters present to constitute a meeting under the Act that could declare the Company dissolved, and the meeting broke up, thanks having been voted to the Chairman. A meeting of shareholders was then held for the pur pose of considering what course should be adopted in order to compel the Directors and Committee of Manage ment to account to the proprietors for the manner in which they had conducted the affairs of the Company. Mr. Knox was called to the chair, and a resolution was unanimously passed that the committee of share holders shonid call a public meeting for the purpose of considering what measures should be taken to pro mote the interest of the shareholders, and obtain justice from the directors. The meeting did not break up till nearly six o'clock. SALES OF RAILWAY SHARES BY AUCTION.---(THIS DAY.) The sale of railway shares this day, at Messrs.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBEIt 26, 1846 MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of September 25.) SuoAn.—To-day no further advance occurred in the value of West India Sugar, but at previous rates, a fair business was transacted for the scale and pan, 350 hhCs and trcs finding buyers, including a public sale of 102 hhds and trcs of Barhadoes which went briskly at full prices. Rzuman.—To-day Refined goods were much sought after by the home trade, but few parcels were to be had, and prices are still rising, brown Lumps, according to quality, selling at 63s to 64s bd, and Standard Lumps at 65s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar in much better demand at 33s 6d for the best. Mauftmers--This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted to 11,255 bags, but the demand was active and the whole sold at full rates, especially for the bright grocery and strong re fining sot ts. EAST INDIA—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with much attention, and 2,777 begs at auction were all sold at an ad vance on former rates of 6d. per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day at auction 216 bags of Savanilla Sugar were sold at i,'Bs for white syrupy and at 49s for yellow. Privately 30 chests 2,000 bags of brown and yellow Pernam buco were soli at 41s to 44s per cwt. MonassEs.—lmporters have refused to further reduce their prices this week, and several parcels have been sold, in all 200 puns of West India, and the rates have been on a par with those that existed previously. Bengal Treacle has met with attention at 20s, and Bally Khal at 21s 6d to 225, at which large parcels have been sold. CorFEE —This afternoon %Vest India Coffee met with more attention, and 117 casks at auction were told at rather better prices, Jamaica fine fine ord bringing 51s to 565, fine ord 46s to 495, good ord 40s to 445, ord and low ord 35s to 39s 6d, triage 13s 6d to 32s 6d ; 222 bags of Ceylon went at 22s Gd to 333 for red, and at 15s to 16s for black; 54 bags Savanilla taken in at 28s 6d to 34s for pale, and country damaged 30s 6d ; 24 casks Rio at 38s for fine fine ordinary coloury ; and 24 bags of Penang at 32s for good ordinary pale. Privately Ceylon was in brisker request, and 39s to 40s paid for good ordinary pale Native; indeed, there are now not many sellers thereat. Taw.—There has been little business transacted in Congou by private contract, although holders are willing to make a further reduction in prices, common for cash being ob tainable at Bd, and good common at 9d per lb cash. Pouchong, however, has been sought after, and the supply not being large, holders have obtained some what better prices. For green the market has a dull appearanc, and prices are lowering for all sorts, the supply being large. Hyson of common quality has been sold at is 9d to is 10d ; Twankay, low to good yellowish leaf 9d to Is ; plain Orange Pekoe Od. to 10, scented Is 9d to 2s.

Of St. Vincents Arrow Root 250 tons at auction were taken in at 7d per lb. FRUIT.—The first cargo of new Patras Currants, per Parga, arrived on Tuesday, and although the quality was a mixed character, they were eagerly taken at 565. Of new Valentia Raisins there have been several arrivals, and taken freely at the opening price, 425. For new Muscatels there has been a good demand, also for old Red Smyrna Raisins at 30s to 325, at which large sales have been made; the principal holder is now demanding a further advance. SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon rather lower terms, still no increase has taken place iu the demand : shippers and the home trade buying all deaeripl tions with caution. For Leeward Island the market has a flat appearance, and prices are lowering. Calcutta has met with little attention, and has further declined in value. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in and prices are looking down. No further advance has taken place in the value of Brandy, but the demand has been active for all descriptions. Holders evince firmness, and the stock is on the decrease, prict s are firm at present. Geneva has been in excellent demand for exportation and prices are still on the advance, as tl e stock is on the decrease, common has been ailing at 2s 5d to 2a Gd, indeed in some cases 2s 7d per gall(' has been paid.

The business transacted has been larger than for some time; merchants manifested much firmness. Cod has been only in limited request, and there are sellers at 271 lOs ; the tendency of prices is down wards.: Southern of all qualities is wanted, chiefly by the home trade, but the supply at market is small at the present time. Sperm Oil has not risen in value, but the demand has been brisker privately. There is, however, a fair supply of all qualities at market. The arrivals of Fish Oil have been upon rather a more extended scale, and several parcels are near at hand. Cocoa Nut is still much in request, and, owing to the small supply at market, buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates. No further advance in prices can be quoted for Palm, but the demand has been brisk. TALLow.—Russian has been much in demand on the spot, and in consequence of the arrivals being small for the period of the year, buyers have been compelled to pay further ad vanced rates, numerous purchases having been made at 43s 3d to 43s 6d for fine new Petersburg yelluw Candle, and at 42s 6d to 43s fur old, even at which prices there are not free sellers, as stocks in the hands of soap makers and chandlers are small. For forward delivery a good business has been transacted, 43a to 43s 3d paid for new for the last three months of the year, and 43s 6d to 43s 9d for the three first months of next year. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE HAMMERSMITH JEWEL CASE. - Archibald M'Areill, 22, chemist, was indicted for stealing two chains and other articles of jewellery, value 10/., the property of Ann Church. Mr. Doane prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. The circumstances under which this charge was made against the prisoner, will be fresh in the recollection of the public, as they have been recently given very fully in the repeated extminations of the prisoner, with a person named Kennedy, before the magistrates at Hammer smith Police-court. It will be recollected that a lady, named Riley, lodged in the house of Kennedy, who carried on the profession of a surgeon at Hammersmith, the prisoner acting as his assistant, and shortly before her death, which took place on last Easter Sunday, she gave a number of valuable articles of jewellery to a lady named Church, who placed them in a drawer, and shortly afterwards she discovered that they had all been stolen. The prisoner was proved to have dealt with a portion of the stolen articles by pawn ing them some time afterwards ; but it appeared that he had, from the commencement of the transaction, all along declared that he had merely acted as the agent of Kennedy in so pawning them, and that he was innocent of the robbery. Mr. Kennedy was called es a witness, but he did not appear. _ _ - baron PLATT intimated his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner, lie had al ways stated that Kennedy gave him the things to pawn, and certainly Kennedy had as good an opportunity to take them as he had. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the Learned Judge ordered the prisoner to be imme diately discharged. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Iluaw.tsir, SEPT. 20.—As the picking of the hops advances, the plarters become more disappointed with the weight of their produce. Light weights at the com mencement did not much surprise them. They thought, however, that as the picking should proceed, and the hops acquire more condition, they would necessarily weigh heavier. In very few instances have these ex pectations been realised. Some good samples have gone from this neighbourhood to the metropolis. Not many sales have, however, been made, except by necessitous people, most of the planters looking with confidence to the obtaining of higher prices. Btu:DE, WESTFIELD, AND SEDLESCO3ID.—The hop picking in these parishes will soon be brought to a close, and indeed it is time, as they look very brown, and in picking drop entirely to pieces. They . weigh better than at first, seventy bushels to the cwt. is about the average. Hop pole stacks now rear their winterly head in every direction, and nature has been robbed of her richest ornament. Many of our growers do not think of selling under 41. per cwt. Duty estimated at 200,0001. I3ECKLEY, SEPT. 20.—About four days more will bring the hep-pickinc, to a close in this and the neigh bouring parishes ; there is not any of the planters will grow so many as last year, therefore they think the duty estimated too high. and some of our 'f a r mers w ill fi n i s h the l a tter part of SEPT. 20.—Hop-picking goes on rapidily, iIDIMORE, this week. The hops are getting very brown, and re quire from 70 to 80 bushels to the cwt. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. FA tiniNGboN-ROAD, SEPT. 24.—The jury re-assembled this morning and resumed the inquiry, ellen The Coneseen said—Gentlemen, as our last inquiry we thought it necessary to summon an eminent engineer from Bristol, with a view to his examination of the broken iron of the luggage van, to ascertain the cause of the accident, which the witnesses have hitherto been unable to state. The Coroner then briefly detailed the nature of the accident, and the jury proceeded to view the broken second-class carriage, whioh had been brought down from I)i 'cot for the purpose. The whole of the first body of the carriage was broken to pieces, and presented the appearance of a complete wreck. and had still the marks of blood, &c., about it, from which it became evident that Mr. Sargent's head had been severed while the unfortunate gentleman was standing up. The following witnesses were then called:— Henry Stevens sworn—l am superintendent of the Farringdon-road station. On Monday evening I was on the the platform of the down line when the train was coming in. I was sufficiently near to see what happened. I was standing back on the platform, and I heard a crash just as the train got to the bridge. I im mediately ran forward to the edge of the platform, and saw the fire flying out from each side of the train, and the luggage van raised upon the first passenger car riage ; the engine parted away from the train, that is, I mean, went quite ahead, just as she approached the platform. I could not distinguish if the engine broke away at the first concussion, but I think there is no doubt of it. The luggage van had four wheels. The whole of the van, with the exception of the partitions, is composed of iron. The passenger carriage which gees next to the van is not different from the others—its body is wood. The luggage van contained from 10 c wt. to 15 cwt. of hellion and the passengers' luggage; it was pretty fall. I judge from the weight of one box which was left behind, and there were ten of those boxes. Im mediately after the accident I sent for Mr. Barker, the nearest surgeon, and he was very soon on the spot, at least within half an hour. One of the bodies (Bonner's) had been removed before he came. I heard the crash, and as the train came on near the platform, there was another check from the crossing at the platform, which arose from the van being partially off the line, and by which check the van was forced further on the passenger carriage. The crash was at the bridge. Richard Fuller sworn—l am clerk at the Farringdon road station. At the time when the accident happened on Monday night I was on the down platform, watching the train coining in. I saw something rise in the air under the bridge just as I heard the noise. It was the luggage van, as I afterwards ascertained upon the train reaching the platform. I afterwards examined the van; it had four wheels, and the off fore-wheel spring was broken. The effect of that would be, I should suppose, to tilt the hind part in the air. The other spring might have been broken. The ironwork was much torn away, and broken a good deal. I cannot account for the break ing of the spring. By the Foreman—l think Mr. Sargent was killed at the bridge instantaneously. By the ConoNER—I believe, from common observa tion, that the effect of breaking the spring was to raise the van up at the end. If I were told that if the spring broke it could only fall three inches, I should say it could not raise it as it was raised, which was five or six feet •, but I suppose the ironwork to have become detached, and that the axle slipped more to the middle, which would tilt it up more at the end. The height of the arch of the bridge is perhaps five feet above the carriage when the van is in its proper position. A juryman—Then it could not have fallen that dis tance, and yet that it struck the bridge is evident from the piece which is broken out of the arch. Mr. Bush, the engineer, thought that could easily be accounted for. By a juror—The buffers of the van were broken. They were broken off as it fell. I did not know what they struck against. The buffers of the tender were broken, but not much. By the ConoNEß—lf the buffers of the van were broken downwards, it could not be by striking the ground. I cannot say what was the cause of the break ing of the buffers. Robert Matthews, police-constable, No. 395, of the Great Western Railway Company, sworn—On Monday night, when the accident happened, I was passing under the bridge to go to the signal-post, which is just on the other side. I gave the usual signal for the train to come in, and I remained at the signal-post until the train had passed. While I was passing under the bridge there was a great shock, and I saw a quantity of fire flying from the luggage van. In conseqnence of the fire and smoke I was so stunned that I could not tell what it was. ConoNEß—Do you mean fire and smoke, or sparks and dust? Witness—l should say it was fire. I was so enveloped in smoke or dust that I was obliged to grope my way to the signal-post, and there I remained until the train passed me. I heard a great crash, but at the time I could not say what it was. I cannot say where the fire or sparks, or what it was, came from; but it came from some of the carriages. I became enveloped with a cloud of dust or smoke, but I believe it to have been smoke. Mr. Thomas Bush sworn—l am a partner in the firm of Bush and Beddoe, engineers, of Bristol. Having heard the evidence of the engine -driver read, Mr. Bush wished him to be recalled. Robert Patterson, the engine -driver re-examined— Preceding the accident I was looking for signals to the policeman, and not to the train behind me. Mr. Bush examined— I have examined the spot on the line where the accident ocurred. I observed the line • for souse distance between the bridge and the platform, and also beyond the bridge. I observed from the bridge to the platform, and for about 20 feet beyond the bridge, a slight indenture in the permanent timber, caused by two wheels being off the line. I have also seen the broken passenger luggage, the luggage van, the broken springs, the wheels, and the ironwork belonging to the luggage van, with the exception of one connexion, which more properly belongs to the tender. I have also examined the buffers of the tender. The luggage van is composed of an iron front and back, and wood sides ; it is as they are usually made of that class ; it is a class commonly in use on this railway; this is the common van for luggage; the generality of vans have four wheels. On examining the broken springs and the ironwork, I find every part was in a sound state previous to the accident, and there is no appearance of flaw or old fracture. I did not ob serve, any part that had been weakened by use. The springs are composed of spring steel. They are fastened in an iron box in the centre. Nothing that connects the spring together is broken. The boxes are cast iron, with brass bearings. The axles are wrought iron. The hangings which are connected with the springs, but which I call brackets, are of cast iron. That is usual in luggage vans and carriages not generally used for pas : senger traffic. A juror—l consider that they ought to be made of the best charcoal iron. Examination r,esumed—The only parts that are cast iron are these brackets or hangings and the axle-boxes; there are many of them used ; wrought iron is generally safer than cast in anything. By the Foreman—Then if these had been made of Wrought iron the accident might not have happened ? Witness—l do not attribute the accident to this at all ; for the duties which they have to perform they have generally succeeded well on the Western line ; but wrought iron is better ; if I were going to make a car riage of this description, throwing expense out of the question, I should use wrought iron certainly. By a juror —When they are of cast iron they are very liable to break, I should say, on a sudden stoppage? By Mr. Bush—The axle-guard ought to relieve that strain ; in the event of a cast iron bracket breaking, no serious injury would ensue from that breakage; the axle box would merely fall into the axle-guard, and thereby the carriage would run without springs, free from danger. From the examination I have made I attribute the cause of the accident to be that the engine broke away suddenly, unobserved momentarily by the engine -driver, and then the train running into the tender just under the bridge, the consequence would be the buckling up of the train by the carriages running over one another. My opinion is that the springs of the van did not give way in consequence of any weight placed in the van, but that from some cause, with which I am unacquainted, the screw connexion between the van and tender must have broken probably at or about the time when the steam was first let off, and that the tender and engine being loose and in advance of the train from some sudden check at the bridge, the train with the luggage van in front, by their own weight and im petus, ran into the tender and thus threw the luggage van up in the air against the bridge, causing a great con cussion and crash. Unless I saw the screw connexion I could not undertake to say that the accident could not have been guarded against. Mr. John Gibson, of Paddington, superintendent of the carriage department of the Great Western Railway, sworn—Every carriage, van, &c., is thoroughly exa mined, oiled, and screwed up before it starts, and they are also oiled and examined at every station by the men who go round with the grease-boxes. It is their duty. The screw connexion belongs to the tender; they hook it 'on, and they would examine it at Slough, Didcot, &c. I attribute the accident to the same cause as described by Mr. Bush. I think if anything had been wrong in the screw connexion while at Didcot it would have been noticed. It could not have then been broken or the train could not have started. In the vans and trucks, which have cast iron spring scroll brackets, the axle guard is so formed as to touch the box each side, and lead or drag the wheels, so that no lateral or longitudinal strain comes upon the cast iron brackets. Of course, they have all the vertical weight. All our carriages are of such a construction that if every spring under the various carriages were broken the train would go along safely, but not so easy. Mr. Seymour Clarke here explained that the examina tion of the carriages, screws, &c., at the various stations would be only a general one. Mr. Walter Barker, of %Vantage, surgeon, deposed to having been sent for on Monday night. to the railway, On my arrival I saw the body of Bonner, who was dead, but not cold ; the immediate cause of death was dislo cation of the neck. There were bruises also about the neck and upper part of the trunk. Immediately afterwards I saw the body of Sargent, it was in the broken carriage. The body was erect, the front part being towards the back of the carriage. It was retained in that position by the hand, which was through the roof, and there slightly confined. I observed that . the head had been severed from the body by a force acting from the front part of the body backwards and upwards, the slice of the bones showing that the force had been from below the wound, commencing slightly under the chin, and passing thr oug h t h e neck anti the upper part of th e oc cipital bone. The head was entirely removed, and was soma distance off on the roof of the carriage. Seeing the man was dead, we knew we could be of no assistance to him, and therefore we allowed the body to remain, watched by a policeman, until we had searched and be come certain that there were no other wounded persons in or under the carriages ; that wai the cause of the delay in its removal. The CORONER then summed up. His remarks would he very few, seeing the very great attention they had paid to the case, and from the fact of the great experience of their foreman as a county magistrate. The cause of death, it was perfectly clear, arose from the accident -on Monday night last. The Coroner then read the evidence of Tuesday. and said, that at the close of the day he had felt it a duty due to them, the public, and to himself, that the passenger carriage, which he thought had been improperly removed, should be brought back for their inspection, and that an eminent engineer, unconnected with the company, should be examined as to the cause; and with that view it was that Mr. Bush was summoned. They had seen the carriage, with the blood on it; and from it, it must be evident that the unfortunate man must have been standing up when his head was cut off by this sudden and violent concussion. They had heard that the ends of the van were of iron; and his own opinion was, though he confessed that he was unac qainted with railway matters—but his opinion was, that while the ends of the luggage van were composed of iron there should be some greater protection than mere wood to the end of the first carriage next to it. He however merely stated this as his own opinion. Mr. Bush had then given his evidence as to the cause of the accident —it was for them to take these matters into their con sideration, and to say whether they thought the accident arose from circumstances over which there was no control, or otherwise. The Coroner then alluded to the abolition of the law of deodand, and concluded by saying that he felt the fullest confidence that they would, as indeed they would under any circumstances, give a fearless and fin p: rtial verdict. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." WORCESTER GREAT HOP FAIR WORCESTER, SATURDAY NIGUT.—The annual Wor cester hop and cheese fair, which takes place on the 19th of September, has been held here to-day, and was one of the largest and most busy fairs which has been held for some years. • In consequence of the forwardness of the hopping, which has been wonderfully advanced by the glorious weather with which this part of the country has been blessed during the past three weeks, it was anticipated that there would be a large bulk of hops brought to market, and the result proved that the expectations of the most sanguine were exceeded by the reality. At the market day, on this day se'nnight, the unusual num ber of 3,000 pockets were " pitched," and the prices ranged from 755. to 90s. for very choice samples. To day, however, there have been no less than7,ooo pockets brought to the market, the two market-places being crammed to repletion, and the pavements of all the ad jacent street being piled up with this extraordinary in flux. Notwithstanding this large supply, prices have somewhat advanced on the rates of Saturday last, some of the choicest samples being quoted as high as 100 s. per cwt., but the general range being from 80s. to 90s. The Worcestershire and Herefordshire samples this year are unusually fine. There was a large attendance of merchants and buyers from London and other parts, and business was brisk throughout the day. The importance of this trade may be judged of from the results of the following calculations which have been made of the value of the new hops brought into Wor tester market within the last twelve days. A pocket of hops weigh on the average 1 cwt. 3qrs. The weight of hops offered in Worcester market on Saturday, the 12th instant, therefJre, was 5,250 cwt., and the average price wag, say 80s. per cwt. This would realise a sum of 21,0001. Add to this the value of the hops offered in Worcester-market to-day-7,000 pockets, weighing on an average 1 cwt. 3 qrs., would produce an aggregate weight of 12,250 cwt., which at the average price of to day, say 855., would realise 52,0621. 10s. PROTECTIONIST POLICY. (From the Morning Post.) We publish the following declaration, without, of course, at all declaring any coincidence of opinion with it : DECLARATION C.F CONSERVATIVE POLICY FOR THE ESTABLISEDIENT OF FAIR TRADE AND EQUITABLE TAXATION " The ab.lition of all Excise duties on domestic pro ductions and manufactures, and the consequent conso lidation of the Customs and Excise, together with the reduction of the coast guard. " The admission of colonial wheat, pulse, and flour, at a statistical duty of 6d. per quarter and 6d. per barrel. " The reduction of duty on tea_to Is. per lb. " The reduction of duty on tobacco to ls. per lb. " The reduction of duty on colonial sugar to ss. per cwt. " Ditto on foreign ditto to 10s. per cwt. " REVENUE COMPENSATION. " Fixtd duty on foreign wheat at ss. per quarter. " Fixed duty on other foreign grain and pulse, 2s. 6d. per quarter. " Fixed duty on foreign flour, 2s. 6d. per barrel. " Restoration of the duty on foreign cotton wool to 3s. per cwt., as an equivalent for the excise on soap. " The charge for postage to commence at Id. for a quarter of an ounce, instead of half an ounce, to make up for the loss of excise on paper, which has always been a tax on Education and literature." " REASONS FOR REMOVAL OF EXCISE DUTIES ON HOME PRODUCTIONS, AND ADJUSTMENT OF REVENUE DUTIES. " As long as an income and property tax is imposed, which, together with the burden of the poor-laws, falls principally on the landed proprietors and agriculturists, foreign imports, competing with our domcstic produc tions, cannot be admitted without paying a revenue duty. " The reduction of duty on tea, tobacco, and sugar would not eventually yield less revenue, owing to the increased consumption, whilst the comforts of the poor would be greatly enhanced, and our commerce ex tended, especially with China, and the inducement to smuggle put an end to. " The loss of revenne on the Excise duties would be compensated for by the duty on foreign wheat, pulse, flour, and cotton wool, together with an increase in the Post-uflice revenue, which would be equivalent to the loss of the Excise on paper, to which would be added the enormous saving in the expense of the collection of the Excise duties, as well as in the reduction of the coast guard establishment. " Since 1842 nearly five millions sterling of duties on foreign imports have been reduced for the chief benefit of the manufacturers, while the Excise duties have been retained and the income and property tax imposed. Five millions having been taken off and five millions laid on withont any benefit to the poor mall. " The proposed revenue duty on wheat would be about ten per cent. ; on colonial sugar about fifteen per cent. ; and on foreign thirty per cent. ; making an ave rage of twenty-two and a half per cent., whilst the pre sent duties are respectively about forty-five per cent. and seventy per cent. PORTRAITS WHICH DO NOT FLATTER. The Prefect of the Loir et Cher, as soon as he was in formed of the evasion of the Count de Alontemolin, ad dressad to the mayors of the department a circular, con taining a minute description of the person s of the Spa n i s h Pretender, as well as that of Cabrera. The Count is described as follows : " Age, 28 years ; height, 1 metre 65 centimetres (sft. qin. English) ; black hair and eyebrows, narrow and round forehead, brown eyes, large and long nose, a little bent on one aide, middle-sized mouth, black beard, worn en collier, round chin, oval face, and dark com plexion. The upper lip and the teeth slightly project, and which is more visible when talking ; speaks French with facility, but with a strong foreign accent ; the knees turned in, which is more particularly apparent when walking ; holds himself very erect ; a turn in the left eyeball, showing at times the whole of the white ; wears his hat inclined to the right side, and over the eyes." Ramon Cabrera is thus described : " Born at Tortosa (Catalonia) ; age, 38 years ; height, 1 metre 63 centimetres ; black Bair and eyebrows, or dinary forehead, greyish brown eyes, middle-Nizod nose, mouth rather large, beard black and rather thin, round chin, oval face, dark complexion. his eyebrows are bushy, and come close to each other ; has a small scar on the forehead, over the left eye ; legs slightly bent • never looks a person in th e f ace w h en a dd ress i n g him." CONTAGIOUS AND EPIDEMIC DISEASES.—By an Act of last session (9 and 10 Victoria, chap. 96), provi sion was made for the more speedy removal of certain nuisances, as well as to enable the Privy Council to make regulations for the prevention of contagious and epidemic diseases. According to the preamble of this statute it was considered expedient, for the purpose of preserving the health of divers of her Majesty's subjects, that better provision should be made for the removal of certain nuisances likely to promote or increase disease. On the receipt of the certificate of two medical men certain public officers, specified in the Act, can complain to justices of the existence of nuisances. The justices have power to summon the parties, and to make an order for the removal of the same, and in default the parties complaining may enter the premises and remove the nuisance. The costs and expenses incurred can be re covered from the owner or occupier of the premises. By the fifth section the Privy Council are empowered to issue order s a t an y ti me to prevent the spreading of con tagious and epimedic diseases. The Act contains twenty two sections, and three schedules of forms to be used. A NEW ROMAN NOYEL.—Mr. Herbert, the dis tinguished author of " Oliver Cromwell," after the ex ample of Bulwer and Lockhart, is, it appears, a b out , to test his powers as a delineator of the manners and cus toms of classic times, by the production of a work en titled " The Roman Traitor, a True Tale of the Re public." We hail this announcement with great pleasure. Mr. Herbert has already given sufficient evidence of his ability as a novelist, to leave not a doubt of success, ai far as the interest arising from the con struction of his story is concerned ; and we understand that almost all the characters are veritable and renowned personages of the Republic, and that they are depicted with a degree of skill and accuracy, displaying a great amount of classical learning on the part of this popular writer. [Au VERTI SEMENT. ] —HOLLOWAY 'l3 PILLS.—A CURE roa ALL FEMALE Commit:in.—Women from a variety of causes, are more often out of order than m en , and require a medicine pecu liarly suitable to their sex, to operate so searchingly upon the whole system as to produce the effect required. The maiden, the mother, and the middle-aged thus frequently stand in need of an effectual medicine, and there is certainly none that will bring about such wonders in the cure-of female complaints as Holloway's Pills. Those who have not been well for years might, in a few days, derive that benefit from theft use which perhaps had long been sought for in vain. These pills are sold at Professor Holloway's establishment 244, Strand, London, and by all druggists. SHIELDS ' •Stc7r. 24.—The Equity, Smith, of and for this port, from Rouen, in entering the harbour last night, got on the rocks near Tynemouth, and is considerably damaged. BRIDLINGTON, SEPT. 23.—The John and Ann, Seymour, which was on shore near the new pier this morning, has been got off with damage, after throwing part of Cargo over board, and brought into the harbour.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths o nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that wa should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the preSent and future race of mankind have to rely.
