'Twas pleasing to see, in a place so immense, The " gents of the long robe" with interest intense ; While the Judges appeared in their w,gs and their ermine, The Bishop of Hereford's case to determine. My opinion concerning title matter—but st p ; 'Tie a party affair, and the subject must drop. For a topic like this—a political one Is kept in the back -ground by MOSES and SON. Yet MOSE a nd SON your attention would call To a few scatter'd musings in Westminster-hall. There were certainly many things there to adnil: e, - While thousands assembled with faultless attire.

While I gazed on the ermine the Judges had on, thought of the Furs of E. MOSES and SON. The Boots and the Shoes, and the Prime Paris Hats, The Gloves tied the Kerchiefs, V:e Stocks and Cravats, Plainly proved that the concourse in Westminster-hall, sad given another great building a call. May they do so again—may the Mart be a " cramm'd 'ttn," And tima concludes MOSES, with Reim Dickson tlampded. LIST OF PRICES. 11ADT JUDI.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes am hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

FATAL STEAM-BOAT C OL LISION. NORTH SHIELDS, FEB. 10.—A most deplorable occurrence hap pened on the Tyne, early this morning, which involved the loss of four lives. It appears that between five and six o'clock six boiler makers in the employ of Marshall, at South Shields, put off in a boat to cross the river. The weather was rather hezy, and on the boat reaching about the middle of the river, two steamers were tio ticed coming down. They had their usual lights up, and the men in the boat believing that there was time for them to row over before them, proceeded to so with all their might, at the same time hailing the crews of the steamers to ease their engines. They had, however, been observed, and one of the steamers, the Alice, had her engines stopped and her helm put to the south. Unfortunately this happened to be the di rection the beat was going to get clear, and before it could succeed, the Alice came in contact with the craft, and ran it dawn. The whole of its unfortunate occu pants were instantly struggling in the water. Cries being raised for assistance, boats put off to assist in rescuing the poor fellows. Two of them managed to grasp the steamer's paddle, and were saved; while an other was picked up by a coble. The remainder, how ever, with the boatman, were not seen, and consequently perished.

PRICE OF SUGAR. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the returns made in the week ending February 8, 1848. is 26. i. C 34 (1. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE kFrom the London New Price Current of Feb. 11.). Steoen.—To-day there was a further &crease in the demand for all kinds of raw Sugar, both for home arid exportation ; and prices are further depressed. The demand was extremely limited fur West Llia, both for the scale and pan, only 70 hhds Sic finding buyers a t rather lower rates. Th e market closes with much heavi - ee,s for all sorts of S ugar . REFINED.—To•drty refined goods were operated in with much caution by the home trade, and prices are further depressed, standard lumps selling at 545 6d, and brown grocery 53s 6d. The tendency of prices is still downwards. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little wanted, and there is a desire to sell fine sort at 29s to 305 per cwt. EAST INDIA.— This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugar amounting to 5,643 bags were offered at public sale, the demand was limited and not above half found buyers, white sorts at a reduction of 6d to Is, but strong yellow fetched the full value. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon only a limited demand was experienced by private treaty, and of 1.315 bags at auction, a small part only sold, at a further fall of 6d per cwt. FORElGN.—Although the rates taken by private treaty exhibit a reduction on those previously current of 6d to Is pre cwt, ye) the hatle teride forthe most part re-e frained from operating, whilst the demand has been limited from our refiners working under bond. On the part of exporters little disposition was shown to purchase. COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 414 bags, 27 casks of Plantation Ceylon Coffee went off at very full rates, good middling bold, of a favourite mark, realising 60s to 65s 6d, middling 54s to 58s, low middling 51s to 535, fine fine ordinary 48s to 495, fine ordinary mixed 42s to 435, pea berry 55s to 63s 6d, and triage 275. Native is still required, and 850 bags sold at 6d to is per cwt advance. Mocha sells more readily, and 105 bales at auction went 3s to 6s above former prices. Of Costa Rica 1,554 bags fetched the full value. TEl.—At the public sales which concluded on Mon day last, the demand was extensive for all descriptions of Green. Black also met with a good sale, scented and Pekoe Teas were operated in with greater freedom. The total quantity submitted to public competition amounted to 26,540 pkgs, and the unusually large proportion of 16,000 pkgs found buyers at prices showing au advance on those current in the private market, Congou of id, Imperial and Gunpowder 2d to 4d, 'Tyson 2d, Young Hyson Id to lid, Twankay id to id, whereas other kinds of Tea fully obtained the former value. breces.—The supply of Pepper continues on the de crease, and none has been offered at public sale this week. By private treaty several parcels have been disposed of, and at fully former rates. White is much in request, and advanced id to -id. Pimento is in in. creased request, and realised a further advance of id to id per lb : at auction, 237 bags were all sold. Fur Nutmegs the demand is more active, and as there is a less plentiful supply, prices are on the advance. For Mace there is a brisk demand, and holders show firmness. Cloves cannot be called cheaper, but the sales made are of little moment. Although Cinnamon can be obtained upon the reduced terms of the last quarterly sales, still the purchases made have been of little interest. Of Cassia Lignea the supply of all kinds is scanty, and prices in consequence rule high, but not much inquiry has prevailed. For Ginger the market has an improving appearance, the demand is increasing, and prices are falling off. RICE.—For Madras and yellow Bengal there has been a much better demand for exportation this week, and full rates are obtained, but the market has been well supplied. White Bengal is however little required for home consumption or shipping, although merchants are willing to make a further concession in the value of ed per cwt, and the supply yet exceeds the demand: at public sale 3,140 bags Madras were disposed of. Cleaned Rice is not much required, and Town dressed Carolina can be easily purchased. INDIGO.—To-day 743 chests have passed the sale, of which 301 were in the East India Corepany'e hands. The biddings continue to be very animated. and the advance previously noticed is fully supported. COCHINEAL—The supply having materially increased this week, prices have suffered a depression of Id to 2.1 per lb for Honduras; the demand, however, has been good for all sorts. Of 231 bags offered ut auction the chief part was disposed of. EVIRITS.—The market has been in a very dull state for all kinds of Rum this week, and so trifling have been the purchases made by exporters and the home trade, that it is diff-cult to Trots prices wish aeesur: ey,, The tendency is, however, downwards, and the nearest rates are, proof East India Is 7d, Leeward Island Is 8.1 to is 9d, Jamaica 30 to 36 per cent over proof 3s 9d to 4s 2d, fine 4s 3d to 4s 7d, and Demerara 26 to 38 over 2s 10d to 3s 3d. For Brandy prices are net lower, but little has been done. Geneva is cheaper, shipping sort 2s 3:1 to 2s 4d. The quotation of British Corn-Spirit has been reduced to 10s, and Gin is 21 cheaper. TeLeow.—To-day prices declined for P. T. C. to 53s to 53s ed on the spot, and 46s for the last three months of the year; few buyers were to be met with. The public sales went off flatly, and upon lower terms. Ores.—This afternoon, at public sale, 90 packages Cocoa Nut Oil in part sold at 55s to 58s for good and fine; 170 casks Palm, good 36s 6d to 36s 9d ; and 30 tuns Sea Elephant Oil, at 281 to 311. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 11. 'Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Special Juries.) LONG V. RENNIB. In this case Mr. hi. Hill and Mr. Willes appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, with whom was Sir J. Bayley, represented the defendant. The action was brought for the purpose of recover ing from the defendant, Sir J. Rennie, the sum of 8001., being the balance of an account alleged to be due to the plaintiff for professional services, as a sur veyor, rendered to the defendant upon various pro jected lines of railway of which he was the engineer. The original claim of the plaintiff had been, it ap peared, reduced in the month of May to a sum of about 2,699/. 14s. 3d., at which time an arrange ment was entered into, through the mediation of Messrs. Freshfield, solicitors, by which the plaintiff was to receive 1,000/. down, and a bill, at one month, for 300/., and a further sum of SOO/. (the plaintiff having consented to reduce his claim to 2,300/.) was to be paid within a month from the time of the de fendant's receiving from the various companies by whom he was employed the balances due to him. The defence to the action was that as the defendant had not received payment from the company for which the work had been done, the plaintiff having entered into an agreement to receive the balance only in the event of his so receiving such paymea, he was not in a condition to sue the defendant. The case was before the Court yesterday, and oc cupied a considerable portion of time to-day. The jury finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff upon two of the counts, and for the defendant upon one of the counts in which the agreement was con cerned, leaving the damages to be assessed by the Court.

MANSIO2V-HOUSE. fumes Yates, a person of respectable appearance and family, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen a silver tankard, the property of the proprietor of the Spread Eagle, in Gracechurch street. The prisoner, it appeared from the evidence of the waiter and a gentleman who was sitting in the coffee room when the robbery was committed, walked in on Saturday last, and ordered luncheon, and requested to be served with some ale in a tankard. He paid the bill and sent the tray away, but retained the tankard under a newspaper on the table. About a quarter of an hour afterwards, he left the coffee-room having been first seen to pocket the tankard, and when he got to the end of the gateway was stopped by the waiter. The moment he found he was de tected, he said, " Oh, my God!" and appeared to be completely paralyzed. He neither attempted to get away, nor make any resistance. The policeman into whose custody he was given found in his pockets Ss. 7id., and a duplicate. The tankard is worth 31. 10s. The prisoner's solicitor, upon being asked whether he was desirous to say anything for the defence, re plied that he should wait for the trial, which he saw must take place. The prisoner—All I wish to say is, that I did not order the ale in the silver tankard ; I merely ordered it in a tankard.—Committed for trial. George Wooli3 was brought up for final examin ation, charged with having stolen a cheque for 501., the property of his employer, Mr. C. L. Mosley, gold pen-maker. He had been entrusted with the cheque by Mr. Mosley, and was to hare taken up a bill with the proceeds,liostead of doing which he ab sconded with the cash, and spent it all, when he suddenly repented. He assured the Lord Mayor that he was prompted by distress to commit the robbery, as his wages were not high enough to keep life in him.—Committed for trial. The LOAD Meroit acknowledged the receipt of ten guineus from the Drapers' Company for the poor box. He also acknowledged the receipt of the second half of a 5/. note for the poor-box, from a "Citizen and Liveryman." ment in this neighbourhood. The fact is, that they are of so frequent occurrence that little is known of or cared about them, beyond the immediate neigh bourhood in which they take place. HALF-PAST SEVEN.—Since the above has been written it has been ascertained that two others of the unfortunate sufferers are dead, and two more are not expected to live. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. -EIGHT LIVES LOST. A Manchester correspondent, writing yes' erday afternoon, informs us of a dreadful accident which has occurred in that town, from the bursting of a boiler at the manufactory of Mr. Thomas Riley, spindle and fly maker, Medlock-stn. et, Ardwick. The catastrophe occurred about half-past eight o'clock yehterday morning, and eight human beings, varying from twenty to thirty years of age, were sent to their last account without a moment's warning. Five of the unfortunates were workpeople in the employ of Riley. the owner of the boiler. Two children be longed to a butcher named \V ardsworth, resident in the neighbourhood, and another was the child of a blacksmith, whose f orge was in the same yard as Riley's manufactory, and which was also completely destroyed. There were others seriously hurt, and they lie at the Manchester Infirmary in a dangerous state. It was currently reported in the neighbour hood of the accident that the boiler has been consi dered in a dangerous state for some time past, and that people have refused to work at the manufactory in consequence. It was, therefore, thought proper to take Riley into custody. Another thing which tells against him is, that the person whom he employed to take charge of the engine was a boy only fifteen years of age. This boy's name was Joseph Atkinson, and he was killed. The accident has, of course, caused great excitement in Manchester ; and the inquest, which will doubtless be held this day (Saturday), is looked forward to with great anxiety. ELECTION COMMITTEES. GREAT YARMOUTH. The Select Committee appointed to try the allega• tions of the petition against the return of Lord A. Lennox and Mr. Coope, the Bitting members for the borough of Great Yarmouth, met again yesterday, at eleven o'clock, in Room 22. Present—Mr. H. Ker Seymer, chairman; Mr. Edward Ellice, Mr. W. H. C. Plowden, Mr. Charles Lushington, and Mr. .11. Stuart. The following evidence was adduced before the Committee : Samuel Carr Banks, a freeman of the borough .1 Yarmouth, said that at the last election he had voted for the " Blues," having on the nomination day re ceived from Mr. Shingles, a chymist, in the Red interest, two guineas as ack arrears." He had voted for Mr. Baring and Mr. Soames at the last election, and had then received a promise of two guineas from Mr. Lushington Preston. Having been asked by Mr. Costerton to vote for Lord A. Lennox and Mr. Coope, he had demanded his " back arrears"—had been referred by Mr. Preston to Mr. Green, by Mr. Green to Mr. Shingles, and after re peated applications, had at last got his two guineas from the last-named person. The money was not handed to him by the chemist, but put upon the table, and he took it up. This witness spoke in a tone of most virtuous indignation about his wrongs, and told, with an air of great self satisfaction, 'how early on the morning after receiving this money, be had voted for the Blue candidates. On his cross examination by Mr. O'Malley, it appeared that he had been convicted at Newcastle of obtaining money under false pretences, having taken his employer's ship to that port, and passed himself off as the cap tain. Ile confessed the fact with a most amusing in genuousness, adding, "I spoke the truth, and I suf fered for it." Having been re-examined with regard to an assault made by him on a:Mr. Shelly, at an election some time ago, he said, in explanation, "Mr. Shelly was a Blue, and I was strong in the Tory interest then. I have changed my principles since." Robert Nestling, also a freeman of Yarmouth, stated in evidence, that on the polling-day, the result of the election being then clear, he had applied to Mr. Stagg for a chairman's ticket, for his brother-in-law, and had received it. Sergeant Going had subsequently paid him 10s. on the production of that ticket, and he had given the money to his brother-in-law. Ancirews, a freeman, had received a chair man's ticket from Mr. Stagg on the nomination day, and had been paid 10i. on showing it to Sergeant Going at the Weavers' Arms. The Sergeant sat in an arbour distributing half-sovereigns to all who pro duced tickets. Edmond Conyers, doorkeeper of the Tory com mittee-room, said that he had seen there Mr. Green, Mr. Lushington Preston, Mr. Coble, Sergeant Going, Mr. Stagg, Mr. Corey, Mr. Boulby, and others. Mr. Coble, on the morning of the election, had desired him to keep the stairs clear. Mr. Corey was there with his clerk, as agent for the Red candidates. Sergeant Going, the last witness called, and who visibly gave his evidence with considerable reluctance, said that Mr. Corey had told him there was some money for him in his office to pay the flagmen, clerks, &c., with. He went there, and found behind the clerk's desk 2001. or 2501., he did not now re member which. He did not recollect whether the money was in Bank of England or Yarmouth notes, but he had them changed into gold—part at one bank, part at the other. He communicated to Mr. Stagg that he would settle with the flagmen, &c., at the Wearers' Arms, and that arrangement had been car ried out, he sending the tickets to Mr. Corey's office as vouchers. This witness was asked if Mr. Coble was in Yarmouth, and said he thought not. He did not know where he was to be found. Perhaps he was on the continent. The witness had known him take continental trips before. Mr. Sergeant KINGLALE was proceeding to examine the witness as to the conversation which passed be tween him and Mr. Corey with respect to the money in Mr. Corey's office, when Mr. ANDREWS objected on the ground that such evidence was inadmissible. A lengthened argument then ensued, which occu pied the remainder of the sitting, and was not con cluded when the Committee adjourned. The Committee meets again at eleven o'clock this day. CHELTENHAM. The Select Committee which, under the title of the Cheltenham Election Committee, has been appointed to inquire into the validity of the recognizances at tached to petitions against the return of the sitting Members for several different places in Parliament, met again to-day, at two o'clock, in Room No. 3. During the entire sitting they were occupied with closed doors in examining the agents for the various parties before them, and at their rising they adjourned till two o'clock on Tuesday next. Nonwren THBATRII.—On Monday evening, the performances were under the patronage of the gentle men of the Norfolk Harriers ; a tolerably good house was the result. The pieces were the " Love Chase," with Miss Davenport as Constance, and Mr. Montague as Wildrake ; and the romantic drama of " Der Freis chutz." In the course of the evening a hunting song was very tastefully sung by Mr. Thornle y , which was honoured with an encore. At the end of the comedy, it being the last evening before Easter, " God save the Queen was sung by the company.. Mr : Daven port has, it is said, made arrangements w ith Miss Rain forth and Mr. Stretton , for some operatic performances after Easter.

SERIOUS CIIA-RGII AGAINST A TRADESMAN.--r-MT 'Valiant Barnett, landlord of the Crooked Billet, in Johnson's-change, Rosemary-lane, surrendered to his hail to be further examined on a charge of conceal ing the birth of a child, of which Jane Davey, his bar-maid, had been delivered. Mr. Gaines appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Inspector Campbell informed the magistrate, Mr. Norton, that the coroner's jury that had been empannelled to inquire into the circumstances atten dant on! the death of the young moman, Jane Davy, had returned a verdict of natural death, and were of opinion--an (pinion founded on the medical evidence —that her raneval from Moclemary-laue to Camber well had not accelerated her death. It will be recollected that at the last examination Mr. Smith, a surgeon, had stated that about twelve months before he attended deceased at the house of Mrs. Chambers, the prisoner's sister, during her con finement, and that on the 19th January he was called in to attend her at the seine place, where he found her very ill. He continued to attend her regularly from that time up to the time of her death, on Sunday, the 30th, and he swore positively that though he had to operate upon her left breast he had not discovered anything to lead him to believe that she had recently been delivered of a child, and that it was not until after her death that such a thing had been hinted at. Yesterday Mr. Flower, a surgeon, residing in Camberwell-green, attended, and deposed that on Monday, the 31st of last month, he, at the request of Mr. Inspector Campbell, proceeded to the house of Mrs. Chambers, No. 4, Cork-street, Camberwell, and examined the body of Jane Davey. Perceiving that the breasts were large he placed his hand on one of them, and on slightly pressing it the milk spurted into his face. He subsequently made a• post mortem examination of the body, and found that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by an extensive abscess which had formed under the left breast. This caused a considerable constitutional disturbance and congestion of the brain, and led to her death. The abscess had been occasioned, he had no doubt, from the suppression of milk for on opening it he found that the pint of matter it contained was composed of a portion of milk. In reply to the questions of Mr. NORTON, Mr. Flower said that at the first examination he had made on the day after death, he was thoroughly satisfied that she had been recently delivered of a child. Ile also said that, had he been called in in the first instance, it was impossible he could have mistaken, or be de ceived in the fact of the young woman having been recently delivered of a child. Mr. Campbell was next questioned, and said that though the most minute search had been made on the premises belonging to the prisoner and elsewhere, for the body of the infant, it had not yet been found. Mr. Campbell also said that he thought the sister of the deceased, and to whom she had made some disclosures, would be able to attend on Thurs day next. Mr. NORTON thought the case one of a nature re quiring the strictest and most scrupulous investiga tion, and therefore adjourned it to a future day. On the application of Mr. Games, the prisoner was admitted to go at large on entering into his own surety .n 1001. to appear on the day named. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT BIRMINGUALM, FEB. 10.—The colliery at which the lamentable disaster occurred (alluded to briefly in The Sun of yesterday,) was - ,the,Heathfield Pits, the property of the Earl of Dartmouth, leased by Messrs. Salter and Raybould, and situated a short distance from West Bromwich. At six o'clock yesterday morning the men de scended the shaft of the pit (in relief of the night colliers) to commence their usual daily occupations. Before descending, as a matter of course, they had not the slightest suspicion (no intimation having been given to that effect) of the presence of sulphur in any of the sidings in which they were about to work. It appears that nine miners had been in the pit during the night, and that in all, at the hour mentioned, 27 colliers descended. Shortly after their descent a fearful explosion occurred, the flames issuing through the mouth of the pit, and creating, as might be ex pected in so densely a populated neighbourhood, the greatest consternation. Six or seven of the men escaped by means of a gateway leading to Lord Lewisham's pits, and were afterwards enabled, having ascended the shaft of those works, to state at the office of Messrs. Salter and Co. the fearful calamity which had occurred below. 1 ISo :soon as the conflagration occasioned by the ignition of the vapour had subsided, a descent was made with soms difficulty into the Heathfleld Pits. It had been previously discovered that the violence of the explosion had broken - the rope attached to the skip by which the men always dascended. On ar riving at the workings it was found that four men were dead, that two were so dangerously burnt that little hopes were entained of their recovery, and that about twelve other colliers are more or less injured. It is at present impossible to speak with accuracy of the cause of this distressing accident. Various rum ours are afloat. By some it is stated that before the men went down the " Doggy" never examined the workings, and that no Davy safety lamp was used in the pit. Upon these points it would be pre mature at present to pronounce an opinion. The coroner's inquiry, which will be held at the Dart mouth-hotel to-morrow, will more correctly disclose the blame, whether it may attach to the " Doggy," the " Butty," or the lessee, under the circumstances which have unhappily occurred. It will be deemed singular that an occurrence of so distressing a eharacter should create so little excite- ~~ N LATLTRIAL &R A.TIPION; TO TH' EDITOR OF THE BUN Sia,--I venture to suggest a topic for your ,p valua ble comment in the case of Goa}' Frederick Mid dlebrook, who was last week, at Central Criminal Court, sentenced to seven yeaikt, transportation for setting on fire his master's dwelling-house, &c., and as the untoward result of this prosecution has plunged an intelligent young man in suffering and disgrace, cast a cloud upon the , IYlidlb of his future life, and involved in the deepest sorrow a large ci rcle of respectable connexions, you would render an i essential service to the cause of humanity were you to direct your able pen towards facilitating the e.:Cfoyta to obtain at least a mitigation of the sentence, which his friends have already set on foot. In relating the trial you have remarked that the whole court was astonished at the verdict; and I doubt not that in examining the evidence you will join in that surprise. Is it not a fundamental principle recognised in British courts that the prisoner must have the benefit of any doubt that may exist ? Was not the evidence in this case all doubt ? What did the prosecution prove, except that the fire occurred—that Mr. Hannaford sail he missed some money, which has not yet been traced—that the prisoner was the only person in the house when the fire was discovered, but not the only person who had been in the house within a period brief enough for a fire to have existed unobserved ? I am informed that the prisoner still declfres his innocence, and that he has already enlisted the sym pathies of the chaplain and governor of the prison, who have expressed their belie f that he is not guilty. I have the honour to be, Sir, &c., THOMAS LOWTHER DOVE. Duchy Wharf, Strand, Feb. 10, 1848. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you permit me to inquire whether you do not think there ought to be some other qualifica tion for jurymen than the mere possession of house hold property—l mean some intellectual test ? My attention has been drawn to this subject by the consideration of the verdict returned by the jury on Saturday last, in the case of G. F. Middlebrook, charged with arson, against whom a verdict of guilty" :was pronounced, whether in accordance with the evidence or not, must of course be left to God and their own conscience ; but in alcase of such contradictory evidence, doubt, and manifest impro bability, methinks it would have been more consis tent with the importance of the case if the jury had retired to consider and properly weigh the evidence brought before them ; and, then, unless perfectly convinced of the prisoner's guilt, have given any doubt in his favour. More especially when cases have so recently been brought to public notice of parties who have been brought in as guilty by juries, and punished accordingly, having their innocence ulti milely clearly proved. You very correctly state that the verdict was to the surprise of a crowded court. 'A few remarks or this subject from your able pen will much oblige, fours, respectfully, AN ENGLISHMAN. Feb. 10, 1848. I enclose my card, which I believe is required by you. COURT CIRCULAR. The - Queen held a Court and Privy Council. at three o'clock ;yesterday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. —On Saturday a frightful accident occurred at the Midland Railway station Bir mingham, by which one of the guards came by his death. It appears that the sufferer (named Jackson) was to have a ccompanie • d the four o'clock train to Derby, and had ' made the necessary preparations for that purpose, but unfortunately be delayed a short time in taking his place upon the train. The usual signal having been given the train m oved, and just as it was set in motion Jackson at t e mpted to get on the carriage step. His foot, how ever, unfortunately slipped, and he fell under the wheels and was crushed. The train was stopped, and the guard taken up and conveyed to the General Hospital, where it was ascertained th a t b o th hi s l egs were all but severed from his body. H e exp i re d i n a bout an hour after. He was 26 years of age, and lived at Derby.

A man, named Evans, was engaged with two other porters moving some carriages, when he unfortunately got between the buffers, and was dreadfully bruised.
