THE LATH MURDER AT NAILSEA, SOMZIISETSHIRE. —BIRMINGHAM, WEDNEsDAY.—A young man named John Mansfield alias Jakenays, about IS years of age, was brought before John Leigh, IJsq., a magistrate at Wt et Bromwich, near this town, charged with having been concerned in the murder of John Wall, in Sumer setshire, in the month of December last. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Wall was sitting in his cottage, when he heard some persons break a pane of glass in the window of the room in which he was sit ting, and on turning round he received the contents of a , gun in his left thigh, of which he died. The prisoner and his brother were seen by the deceased at the win dow, and one of them (not the prisoner) fired the gun. The prisoner came to work at Oldbury, where he was apprehended a few days ago. When before the magis trate he admitted he was one of the three persons who wore at Wall's house, but denied having discharged the gun. Ile was remanded, and information forwarded to the authorities in Soniersetshiro.

CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. Commissioners of Sewers assembled nt the Gui?dhall on Tueqlav, for the purpose of accelerat ing the sanitary improvement of tho City. Deputy Peacock its the chair. The contractor for scavenging one of the districts ippeared to answer the complaint of an inspector of the commission for not having re4Sioved a quantity of rubbish which had been accumulated in an indigent neighbourhood. His excuse' was, that his prede- cessor in the contract had done his business so neg ligently that it required double work to clear away the nuisance. The CHAIRMAN said, it was the ,duty of the accused to luok narrowly into the bUlineser he had engaged to perform before he entered into the contract, and the Commissioners could not under any circumstances pArdon a deviation from the sanitary rules laid down for his observance. As the contractor's labours were only commencing, and as the persezi who preceded him no doubt acted upon the old system of procrasti nation, the penalty in the present case should not exceed 403., but the second q3ffenee ahould visited with a fine of 51., and that notice must siirifrfor all other persons amenable for neglect of duty, Who were to understand that in no case should there be a re mission of severe penalty. Mr. ll.tw, the chief clerk. to the Commissioners, read the following letter " City of London Gas Company Works, Dorset•street, Jan. 12, 1848. " Sir,--I am directed by the committee of manage ment of these works to acquaint you, for the infor mation of the Hon. the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London, that from and after the 25th of March next this company's price for gas to consumers by meter will be reduced from 7s. to 6s. per 1,000 cubic feet. "I am your obedient servant, "D. RENHAM, Secretary. ° The CIIAIRMAN—That is the first move made by the gas companies, and must lead to a further re duction in that most necessary article. We must consider it to be the result of the adoption of the sanitary system, connected with which gas is most essential. Mr. GODSON sail there appeared in the newspapers a brief statement of what had taken place in the com mittee last week relative to the exorbitant demand for the supply of gas in the City and to that ex posure he considered the public were indebted for the promised reduction of 16 per cent. lie had urged the necessity of making a stir last year upon the subject, but the suggestion, like all former ones to the same effect, fell unnoticed. The question *as most important to the City. They paid, he believed, upwards of 12,000/. a year for gas, and be 'sbould most willingly join in any attempt to break down the existing monopoly, and to invite some other company to come forward with a supply. Mr HARRISON thought highly of a sugiAtion made some time ago, to the effect that the ci4poia• tion should / endeavour to purchase all the' pipes by which gas was communicated through the city, as the only means of destroying the monopoly by which their fellow citizens suffered so much. Light and water were the two most essential things in the con sideration cf the sanitary question, and if the committee persisted, as he knew they would, in the vigorous prosecution of their labours, they would ac complish a reduction in the price of gas much more nearly approaching the price of the article in other For the present deter mination upon the part -it" the City of London Gas Company, • the" were indebted to the present chairman —(Hear, hear.) They lied not as yet had -ay intelligence on the subject of re duction f r ,..t the Chartered Gas Company, the only other _ornpany in the city. Such was the manage with respect to gas, that in many instances the price varied most essentially, houses on the borders of the city being charged infinitely more than the houses opposite to them in the county. The manner in which the other large corporations were supplied with gas was a reproach to the corporation of London. The City. paid nearly twice as much as it ought to pay, and ought to look to Nottingham and Liverpool as authority for the cheap terms upon which an abundant supply could be obtained. " . 'Mi. PRIOR said, he was an advocate for a reduction of price in gas ; but surely the London market could not be supplied upon the terms on which Nottingham and Liverpool—great coal districts—were accommo dated. All things considered, there was not much difference between the markets. Gentlemen, in the consideration of the ,aanitary question, seemed to over look one very "esl4ential thing. The fetid at mosphere generated by gas happened to 14 .giorp ; itj u ri..3 to the public health than au x tion of nuisance, and the preparation of it was indis pensable. Tie well knew that gas companies would . be delighted to cooperate with the Commissioners oi, Sewers in abating the existing evil ; but it was quite out of- the question that the charge for gas in London could be reduced to the price paid in coal districts. Mr. LAWRENCE said he saw no reason why gas should not be had in London upon terms as reasonable as those demanded elsewhere. With respect to the nuisance arising from it, rio public contract ought to be made for its supply without a strict specification as to its purity. The question of purity should be in every case raised. In all other trades the purity of the article to he supplied was looked to, and why it should be overlooked in the article of gas he could not comprehend. lle moved that the subject be re ferred to the Committee of General Purposes. Deputy STEVENS said there never was a chairman in the chair of !he sewers before the present one who was upon the side of the public on the gas question There was always some excuse ready the moment economical charges were spoken of as likely to result from letting other gas companies into the City. The citizens then heard of the calamity of a perpetual disturbance of pavements and a host of other miseries, and every suggestion for the purpose of obtaining a reasonable article met with the most decided negative from the jobbers. For -twenty years h a d some remedy been wished for in vain. He hoped that there would be little future cause of complaint, and that much practical benefit would arise from the pressure from without, the only power likely to operate in a case in which the divi dends paid by the only existing companies were in finitely beyond what they ought to be allowed to be. The CHAIRMAN said, it was true the civic commu nity Were completely at the mercy of the • two gas com panies. The subject w as then re f erre d to thei.ommittee for strict investigation. Memorials were presented from certain districts by the church wardens of the parish, complaining of the dirty state and the defective drainage of some of tho most crowded, populous, poor lanes and alleys. The CIIAIRMAN thanked the churchikardens, as sured them that immediate attention should be paid to their complaints. and expressed an anxious hope that similar activity and zeal in the cause of sanitary reform would be displayed by the authorities in other parishes. The several inspectors having received directions from the board as to future operations with respect to drainage, the removal of mud, &c., the committee adjourned. THE ROYAL SAPPERS AND M lNERS.—Within the last two years there were only 14 companies of this branch of the ordnance corps. Subsequently three companies were added at the same time as the tenth battalion of the Royal Artillery was form e d, and au ad ditional number of men attached to each of the former companies. In December last another company was formed at Chatham, and designated the 18th Company. Preparations are now making, in compliance with orders from the authorities of the Ordnance, to form five addi tional companies in April next, each company to consist of 5 sergeantS, 5 corporals, 5 second corporals, 90 pri vates, awl 2 buglers. This intended increase of a corps whose principal duties are to repair or construct fortifi• cations, renders it probable that next season will exhibit great activity in the construction of national defences for the protection of this country, and for. the protection of the most exposed colonial possession* of the United Kingdom. This corps is commanded by officers of the Royal Engineers. GIGANTIC Cssic.—The attention of those engaged in the wine trade has been this week attracted by an extraordinary importation into the St. Katharine's Dock, viz., an immense wine cask, the largest that ever at p entered the port of London. It arrived.by the Union, Captain Dodd, from Cadiz , and • the entrance of A 1) Il vault, filling the space be tween two large pillars. Its dimensions are most ex traordinary, and the workmanship is of a most superior quality. In a rou2h estimate it is •supposed to contain very close upon 500 gallons of the choicest sherry. The revenue authorities at the dock are somewhat puzzled how to gauge it, the rules constructed for daily use being too small for the purpose. Seen at a consider able distance, it towers above the other casks like Gul liver amongst the ,Lilliputians , and indeed forms the most prominent object in the entire dock. ALARMING Film—Between four and five yester day morning the most painful excitement prevailed for the lives of the family of Mr, Houghton, painter, Cannon street, St. George's in the East. A fire, which had obtained a firm hold, had been discovered raging among some oil in the shop. The family were with some difficulty aroused, and effected a retreat. When the engines arrived water was in good aipply, and the flames were arrested, but the stock was partially destroyed. Mr. Houghton is insured in the Sun. Apply to A. 8., kr.

JANI3 AR Y 0 fad 1 1848, ' DEATH OF MR. ISAAC DISRAELI Wherever the English language is spoken, or even made the subject of translation, the name of Disraeli is honourably knon n. The writings of faller and son have rendered both celebrated, and each, in earn ing distinction for hinis, , lf, has added to the fame of his relative. The matured reputation Glair. Disraeli, ten., and the great celebrity of his son, make it diffi cult to say whether the latter has snore reason to be proud of his descent than the former had to le joice that the object of his natural affections was also the source of one of his highest honours. A man well versed in the history of our species has said that " the chief glory of every country arises from its authors ;" and this be propounds, not as an axiom recommended by its novelty, but as a truth sanctioned by the uni• versa' consent of mankind. To the authorship of England Isaac and Benjamin Disraeli have been in their respective walks of literature extensive and distinguished contributors. The pure and honourable career of the former reached its close on Wednesday last. He had attained the advanced age of eighty two years; and a few weeks ago was in the full pos session of his usual health, and in the complete enjoyment of his intellectual powers. The prevailing epidemic, however, suddenly assailing a constitution enfeebled by age, soon assumed an aggravated form, and at length this venerable gentleman sank under the attack. Ile was born at Enfield in the month of May, 176(3, and was the only child of Benjamin Disraeli, a Venetian merchant, who had been many years settled in this country. He received some instruction at a school near the place of his nativity, but, his father conceiving that his education could be more advantageously conducted in Holland, a considerable portion of his boyhood was spent in that country. Before his departure • for the continent, however, he showed signs of a very precocious intellect, for he began to write verses at the age of ten, and in his sixteenth year addressed a poetical epistle to Dr. Johnson. After passing some time at Amsterdam and Leyden, where he acquired a knowledge of several modern languages, and where he applied himself to classical studies with some at tention, but with no very extraordinary success, he proceeded to the French metropolis. This visit to Paris took place in 1786, when the great revolution was impending, and when its doctrines seemed to have obtained entire possession of all men's minds ; but to this very general characteristic of the period Mr. Disraeli proved an exception. lie was then, and remained throughout his long life, a purely specula tive philosopher—one who never mingled in political broils, or for a single moment knew what it was to be connected with political or religious parties. While in France he read French books, examined the literary treasures accumulated in that country, investigated the genius of its language, and cultivated acquaintance with its living authors and learned men; at this period of his life, therefore, did he imbibe that fondness for French literature which always clung to him, but which is more evident in his criticism than in his style or sentiments, for he wrote his vernacular Bogitsh tongue with great purity, and identified himself in all things with the land in which he lived. On his return to England, after a course of continental travel, he published several poems, among which it is believed that " Lines on the Abuse of Satire" was one ; it appeared in the ti9th volume of the Gentleman's alagazine, and was di rected against Peter Pinder, who affected to believe that it was written by Hayley, and made it a pre text for his hostility to the author of " The Trials of Temper." But, whether he knew the real writer or not, there never was any hostility between Mr. Disraeli and Dr. Walcott. "The Defence of Poetry," by the Learned Gentleman just deceased—who cer tainly was learned not only by courtesy—appeared in 1791 ; but, after a few copies had been sold, he suppressed the whole edition, his motive for which was not very apparent, the literary merit of that production being beyond dispute. In his 24th year he gave to the world a volume consisting of his com mon-place book, with critical remarks, under the title of "Curiosities of Literature." This single volume attracted attention in an age when men of genius abounded. Yet it was then merely an elegant and critical compilation, though it eventually became the origin of that celebrated miscellany in which, at a later period of his life, and especially from the years 1817. to 1824, in successive volumes, he poured forth such a fund of original re search of philosophical, entertaining s[.eculation, expressed in so lively and agreeable a style, that the work has always remained one of the chief favourites ,of our literature. Mr. Disraeli's passion for literary history displayed itself at a very early period of life, and in his latest years it never deserted him. We ilea-anew. have " q i. 11,141 p; A •hwa. volumes, " Calamities of Authors, in two volumes, and his " Illustrations of the Literary Cha racter," in one volume. Ttie father of Mr. Disraeli being engaged in trade, the celebrated person whose death we now record naturally supposed, on his return from the continent, that his friends would expect him to engage in com mercial pursuits ; but, greatly to his satisfaction, they exonerated him from any such obligation, and, being placed in a position of pecuniary indepen dence, he was free to indulge the tastes and exercise the talents which have enabled him to build up a reputation that will not speedily be for gotten. his twelve volumes, illustrative of the literary character, constitute in themselves a goodly collection, and yet they are understood to have been only chapters in the great work which it was said he was always preparing in the manner of Bayle. Of that well known writer Mr. Disraeli was a warm admirer, and he certainly resembled him, nut only in his curious and varied reading, but in many other respects. To the early numbers of the " Quarterly Review" Mr. Disraeli was a contributor. His review of " Spence's Anecdotes," in 1820, and a vin dication both of the moral and poetical character of Pope, produced the famous Pope controversy, in which Mr. Bowles, Lord Byron, and others took part. But it was not in the criticism of English poetry — for the higher departments of which he seemed to have had no especial vocation—that Mr. Disraeli became' most eminent; it was rather as a man of great historical research, and most especially as a ;writer who completely understood the feelings and lisliosyncracy of literary men. He was the first 'author who commenced research on an extensive `scale amongst the manuscripts of the British Museum, and it must be acknowledged that his writings diffused a taste for historical inquiry and criticism beyond the limited sphere of mere literary men. Although this kind of investigation has been of late years carried to a very great extent, yet he who gave the example should be remembered with thanks and applause ; and, notwithstanding that by some of his successors it may have been pursued in a profounder spirit, yet its results never have been rendered more popular than in the writings of Mr. Disraeli. Whatever may have been his attainments in other departments of literature, there can be no doubt that in British history he was very learned, and most especially so as regarded the time of the elder Stuarts. Of this the best evidence may be found in his inquiry into the life of James 1., which takes a very different view of the character of that monarch from those in vogue thirty years ago. In the year 1828 his attention was diverted from his history of English literature—which he was always meditating--by the strong desire that he felt to publish his views re specting the all important age of Charles I. These, comprised in five volumes, he gave the world at in tervals in the course of seven years, under the title of "Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles I." It was in consequapce of the success of this great historical effort that the University of Oxford con ferred upon him the honourary degree of D.C.L., as a testimony of their respect—to use the language of their public orator—optiini regis optimo dejeusori. After the completion of his commentaries he returned with renewed zest to his lit?rary history, and, relying on his strong constitution, united with habits of un - broken study, he was sanguine enough, at the age of threescore and ten, to entertain a hope of completing this undertaking, which he had laid down on a scale of six volumes ; but he was stricken with blindness in the year 1839, and, although he submitted to the operation of couching, he could obtain no relief from a calamity most grievous to an historical author. Nevertheless, he soon took heart, and with the aid of his daughter, whose services he has eloquently re ferred to in his preface, he gave the world some notices of the aarlier period of our literary history, under Lthe title of the " Amenities of Literature. It unfortunately happened that in the progress of this work he did not arrive at that period of our history in which lay Mr. Disraeli's great strength—the life of Pope. It has been pretty generally understood that he long intended to write a life of Pope, his times, and his contemporaries. The lovers of literary history have no slight cause to regret that that undertaking has not been accomplished. There is every reason to be lieve that he had made great collections for that fa vourite subject; and, if his sight had been spared, he would probably have appeared before the world as an octogenarian author. Unfortunately, even if (like Milton) he drew more on his imagination than en the resources of his library, he still could not have carried on the work of composition to any great ex tent; for it is said that he ;lover used au amanueusis witted in a few minutes. iD. till he lost his sight ; and then, probably from want of practice, dictating the expression of his thoughts became laborious and even painful. Yet, at interv..ls, he contrived to minplete the revision of his work cn the reign of Charles 1., as well as to improve and greatly amend it. - The death of Air. Disraeli took place at his country seat, Bradenham- house, in Buckinghamshire ; and it •nay most truly be said, that few lives extending to upwards of eighty years, have been passed with less vicissitude. It has been said of him that "he seized a book in his cradle;" and, it may be added, that he deposited one on his tomb. Early in life he obtained considerable reputation, which ho con tinued to sustain and increase for more than sixty years, without violent effort, without quackery, and without the adventitious aid of social connexion Besides the publications already referred to, and others which we have perhaps omitted to notice, Mr. Disraeli was the author,. in his youth, of several works of fiction, some of which, published anony. mously, obtained considerable reputation. Among these the more remarkable was " Mejnoun and Leila" —the earliest Oriental story in our literature which was composed with any reference to the propriety of . costume. The author was in this production much assisted by Sir W. Ouseley, who first drew his attention to the riches of Persian poetry. The Rabelaisian ro tnance of "Flim Plains' and the novel of " Vaurien," written in all the lurid blaze of French conventions and corresponding societies, have both, we believe with authority, been attributed to him. He died a widower, having lost his wife, to whom he had been united for more than 40 years, in the spring, c f 1847. He has left one daughter and three sons, the eldest of whom is the member for Buckinghamshire. —Times. - < THE RECENT FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE EUSTON SQUARE STATION. INQUEST ON A SECOND SUFFERER. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wakley, M.P., corn menced an inquiry at the University College Hos pital, Gower•street, on the body of Charles Gedge, bricklayer, who died in that institution on the 15th inst. from the effects of injuries received on the Gth by the falling of a wall and scaffold near the above ter minus, upon which he was at work, and which wall formed part of a building in progress of erection after the designs of Mr. Uard wick, the architect, and by and under the superintendence of Mr. W. Cubit; the well-known builder. On Monday week last an inquest was held by Mr G. T. Mills, deputy-coroner, on the body of a man named Shea, and a report of the proceedings appeared in The Sun. It will be seen by the following report of what took place yesterday, that Mr. Wakley has resolved that the cause of the accident shall be thoroughly investigated. The inquest-room 'was crowded with architects, among whom we recognised Messrs. Tite, More, Shaw, Higgins, and llardwick, and others. The in quiry seemed to create great interest, if not anxiety, amongst them. The jury having been sworn . and viewed the body, which was identified by C. Gedge, a cousin of deceased's, The CORONER said that it had been represented in this case that a man had died in consequence of the fall of a certain wall, and inquiries of this nature in volved a twofold scrutiny—first, into the cause of the death; and, secondly, the cause of the injuries that led to the death. There was no difficulty in com pleting that day the inquiries touching the first point, but the inquir?r touching the second would occupy much time. the catastrophe was one of great mo ment, and the inquiry into its cause ought not to be slurred over or terminated without a searching in vestigation. Being very desirous of having so:ne builder or architect of eminence not con nected with the erection who should hear the whole of the evidence, and then upon it, and upon his own judgment and expe; ience, and upon examination of the locality, state to the jury his opi nion as to the cause of the accident, he had written to Mr. Pennythorne, an architect employed by the Government, and he had received late last night a note from that gentleman, in which he begged to be excused from attending the inquest on that day. Ile (Mr. Wakley) was not aware whether or not there was in the room any man unconnected with the par ties who had the responsible superintendence of the erection of the wall, &c., that had fallen. If there were, and the jury thought so, he was quite prepared to go on with the inquiry, and complete it that after noc,n ; but if no such person were present, he should certainly advise the adjourning of the inquest unt the morning of Monday, the 31st instant. Having ,sak at tali4, o o4/Apa.,0,14 xeison c9nnected with the man unconnected with it present who could state everything necessary to explain the cause of the accident? Mr. Cubitt—There are threw gentlemen present unconnected with the building, viz.—Messrs. Tite, Blore, and Shaw, all architects of great eminence. Mr. Hardwick (the architect of the North-Western Railway Company)—l am exceedingly anxious that the fullest inquiry should take place, and have thought that the best thing that could be done, after the evi dence given on the last occasion, was to bring before the jury persons of high reputation, unconnected with the erection, in order thal they might state their opinion on the unfortunate occurrence. Mr. Blurt., now engaged at Buckingham Palace, Mr. Tite, the architect of the. Royal Exchange, and Air. Shaw, of Christ's Hospital, are quite ready to give their evi dence, and state their opinions. The CORONER—If the jury say they would be quite satisfied with the opinion of those gentlemen, 1 see no objection to their being now examined. Mr. Hardwick—l am exceedingly desirous that the investigation should be as rigorous and complete as possible. The CORONER—I am quite sure you are. You must be as desirous as anybody else ; perhaps more so. If architects cannot discover the cause of the accident, I shall doubt whether architecture is a science or not. The jury expressed a wish to deliberate with closed doors, and strangers withdrew. Having been re-std- The CORONER said—The jury are unanimously of opinion that it would be desirable to make an appli cation to the Woods and Forests, in order that a pEr son might be sent by the Government to examine the locality, and report to them as to the cause of the accident. My opinion is not adverse to that of the jury; indeed, I approve of it. At the same time, it is to be understood that the opinions of the gentle men named by Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Hardwick are not to be shut out, for the jury are most anxious to hear them, so that in the end the evidence I hope will be as satisfactory as possible. I will now go into the inquiry as to the cause of death, and on the morning of the 31st, at the railway station, into the cause of the injuries, where the jury will have an opportunity of seeing the place, and forming some opinion of their own as to the cause of the accident; for sometimes common sense determines causes of accidents as surely as science; and I hope the professional gen tlemen now present will then attend, and if they can not aid in discovering the cause of the catastrophe, I do not know who can. Mr. Tite (for himself and brother architects)—We shall certainly be present. Mr. Park, house surgeon, said the immediate cause of death was erysipelas supervening on inflammation of the left lung, that had been punctured by a rib fractured by external injury. Deceased had not im puted blame to any one. Emma Gedge, the widow of deceased, said she saw him in less than an hour after the accident. lie was quite sensible, and she asked him how it had occurred. " It is no more th an w h at I expecte d, He replied, Emma.' He afterwards said he thought there was something wrong in the columns ; that there was not sufficient time allowed for the carrying up of the wall, and that he expected something wrong would happen before the job was done. He thought of leaving the job, and mentioned pis fears a week or two before the accident happened. In the Christmas week he said he had been at the job fourteen months, and that he feared he should stop at it too long, and said he did not know whether he shduld go back to it not. She did not know why he said that. By a juror —lie made no complaint against any one. By the CORONER—To a bricklayer named Harris, living in Little Camden-street, he said, in the Christ. Inas week, that he had been a good' bit now at the job, and it would not be long before something hap pened. (Harris was ordered to be summoned as tt witness on the next inquiry.) The CORONER—The cause of the death has been fully proved, and we will resume the second portion of the inquiry on the day already named, when I trust the investigation will lead to the discovery of the cause of the accident. If, however, we should fail in our object, in spite of all our efforts to do so, we shall have the satisfaction of feelut. tlia,t DO blame can be attached 0 any cif ns, The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday we l.;, " PLAIN AS A PIKESTAFF."—Q.

The adjourned inquest on the body of David Mark• land, , the engine driver, who was killed near Frimley on Friday last, was resumed yesterday, at the Rail way _Hotel, Woking, b e f ore Mr. C. J. Vtrot.ds, the coroner for West. Surrey. Among the parties present on the part of the company were Mr. Locke, M.P.; the chief engineer; Mr. Dalrymple, solicitor to the company; Mr. Godson, the superintendent of the line; Mr. Young, deputy superintendent; Mr. Taunton, assistant secretary, in consequence of the continued indi s p os iti on o f✓ Mr. Campbell, and the principal gentlemen who attended on hionday. Mr. Towne, a solicitor, attended to watch the pro ceedings for the widow of the unfortunate man. The jury having severally answered to their names, The Cozosen a aid that it would he recollected that on Aloodet3-, after he-aring t'ne evidence Of two passengers, Mr. Young, the deputy sw:erintendent of the line, was put under examit,atioe, r: hen it :T• peered that two men had been given into custody, and had been remanded to prison by Mr. Elliott, the magistrate of Lambeth Poiice-sour t. It being con sidered necessary that tkese Men should ba present at the present inquiry, he had attempted to obtain an order fur baying them brought before timn. In this had been unsuccessful, and therefore thought it would be necessary fur them again to adjourn before delivering their verdict, w hen he (the Coroner) could make an application to the &entity of State, who, there would be no question, had the power to allow the Men to be produced. Mr. Charles Smith Ward was then called—He de posed-that he came in the train to which the accident happened, fro.o Southampton, on Friday last. After the train came to a stop, he ascertained from Mr. Young that steps had been taken to stop the goods train, but afterwards, hearing it approach, Mr. Young said he thought it would be as well if he (Mr. Ward) were to run down the line, and endeavour to attract their attention. He did so for 200 or 800 yards, waving his hat and shouting. The shouting was answered from the engine, but seeing that a collision was inevitable, he looked the other way to avoid the sight, and saw the refh.ction of Brownsmith's red light a long vv;iky down the,line, he should think 500 or GOO yards farther than he was. Both tln_ driver mrai - the -stoicen;iterrertin•.the engine*switerrthe train passed him. On his return he saw the body of Markland lying between the rails, and Calvert, who appeared much hurt, supported at the side of the line. He could not say whether tEe engine was reversed at the time it passed him, but he had no doubt that an attempt was made to check its progress after he attracted the attention of the driver. lie saw Brownsinith after the accident, who told him that he went down the line three-quarters of a mile, waving his lamp and shouting, but he could not attract attention. lie did nut see any one on the engine. 13y Mr. Dalrymple—About an hour after the ac cident he saw Jones, the driver of the luggage train, %ho told him that he did not see Brownsmith's sig nal, but admitted he heard him (Mr. Vtrard) shout, and answered him, and, pointing to the passenger train, said there was but one light upon it ; the fact being, to the best of his (Mr. IVard's) Eche'', that the others had been knocked off by the collision. Ho afterwards saw Fleming, the stoker, who said that it was a bad job, and he supposed it would give him six months. It was not a foggy night, but just such a night by which a light might be seen at a considerable distance, more so than it could in a bright moonlight. Mr. Cornelius Stovin, general manager of traffic, was then examined relative to the rules of the com pany. He considered it imperative under rule 13 that in all cases of accident the second guard was not only bound to walk down the lane, and fix a signal at the distance of GOO yards, but it was imperative for hint to apply the fog or detonating signals, which burst with a report nearly as loud as a 9-pounder on a train running over them on the line at a distance €1 100 yards each. He considered that Brownsmith not having used his detonating signals was guilty of a breach of duty, and that was the reason why he gave him into custody. The detonating signals were of recent introduction, about twelve months, as was a red chemical light introduced by himself, and which in a case of fog was to be used, as giving a great glare. It was not necessary to use that signal on such a night as Friday was representei to hay been, but had he even used a doyen, Browusmit would not have been blamed, as it would only have been taking additional precaution to prevent an accident. Mr. John Barrett Gooch deposed that he was su perintendent of the locomotive department of the South- Western Railway. The rate at which the luggage train ought to proceed, at the place where the accident happened, was about twenty miles an hour, and it would consequently take about . ten minutes from the time when its light was first seen for it to arrive at the point where the collision took place. On a clear' dark night the light could be seen at a distance of five or six miles. Where the accident occurred was on a gradient of from 1 in 300 to 1 in 333, and trains could be easily brought to a stand still within the distance allowed by the rules of the company. vv,,Qtbar J'akt °S P';"o64. thkie-cv ati-nsafaciert-L-eirelexs to stop the engine, and that the detonating signals ought to have been used. The inquiry was then adjourned till the Ist of February, the Coroner intimating his intention of applying in the meantime to the Secretary of State for the men in custody to be present. NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 20. Rear-Admiral —Superin tendent Prescott, C. 8., we are happy to state, is much better to-day. We are informed that very much trouble exists in obtaining the money awarded by the Admiralty to the officers and crews of those ships and vessels last year employed in the " relief-service" in Ireland and Scotland. The half-pay of the wives and relatives of the sea men who have been lost in the Avenger having been stopped, it is hoped a subscription will be set on foot for the purpose of raising a fund, out of which the necessities of those thus suddenly and awfully de prived of the means of support may be temporarily relieved. The Admiralty will doubtlessly admit the claims of the relatives for lost clothes and service pro perty, but further we are not aware they can grant any compensation to the suffering relatives of the drowned crew ; it is, therefore, intrusted to the bene volent and philanthropic public to alleviate, by a volun tary act of charity, those distresses which no pen can adequately paint the poignancy of. We know of several families who were solely depen dent upon the trifle they periodically received from those suddenly thus snatched from them. Nor are these sorrowful cases confined to the lower deck, the gun room also contained officers who in more ways than we can describe contributed entirely to the support of fatherless families. Other frightful casualties have only had to be made public and the sufferers thereby have at once found friends in a charitable and hu mane public, and we trust a similar spontaneous feeling will be shown in the present distressing case, than which none can be possibly more deserving of relief, or better entitled to the exerci se o f t h e noblest senti ments of humanity. The Undine steam-vessel was docked yesterday for some extensive repairs to her boilers and ma chinery, her Master, Mr. G. Allen, and crew, having been turned over to the Fire Queen for the present. The Blenheim, 56, steam•guard•sbip, Captain W. A. Yates, and the Prince Regent, 90, Captain W. P. Martin, were removed from the basin to-day, the former having been placed alongside the Blake hulk, the latter alongside the jetty. The Britannia, 120, advanced ship, was brought from her moorings and placed alongside the Victorius hulk to-day. To-morrow she will be taken into the basin, where she is to be rigged by the dockyard rig gers—for what purpose is not at present known, but it is supposed as a " demonstration ship." Wind, N.E.; moderate breezes, and very dark hazy weather. _ WOOLWICH, Jan.2o.—An inquiry took place to-day before Commodore Sir G. Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., relative to the fire which occurred yesterday on board the Dee steam transport-ship, Master-Commander Thomas Driver, when it was elicited that a camp forge had been used for heating rivets within a few feet of the spot where the fire appeared to have origi nated, and that the fire in it was put out at a quarter before twelve o'clock. The mainmast of the vessel, made of the best New Zealand pine, and said to he worth 701., is so mOch_ charred that a new mast will have to be substituted. Tho Charon, formerly a Dover packet, and now attached as a tug to Chathain Dockyard, was tried down the river to-day, and on being again ready for service will proceed to that port ; in the mean time her crew will serve in the Fearless. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master- Commander William Bryant, is ordered to proceed to Limehouse to•morrow to tow Termagant steam-vessel from the City Canal to Woolwich.
