This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of genergl principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member if society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining a way, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease , which , for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption,will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, find, that n n ine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, who disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con hceeaallethd and d cti liveso introduced ou hisd into pupils u schools, surew h t r e b y e the n h promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of ultimately eeoru t . h n e i this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequen ces w hi c h are sure to f o ll o w from them if not relinquished. _ . .

At the present time so many establishments exist, ♦icing with each other in the profession of benefits to the public, which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to many in dustrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages which have been realised by these Offices.

He noticed the Sonningeut ting, where the slip had taken place, at five o'clock the previous evening, when it was all safe. Witness at tended about a fortnight ago to a " slip" which had oc curred near that previously adverted to, and during the time it was undergoing the necessary repairs witness had watchmen night and 'day at the place to prevent the slightest possibility of injury arising, and also to see if any new slip had, or was likely, to take place. Was sure no new slip had occurred. Thomas Carpenter, of Gray-street, Blackfriars-road, and John Nurse, of Hannon; near Bristol, deposed that they were passengers by the train in question. Th ey also deposed to the tr a i n p rocee di ng in a very regul ar manner to Twyford, after stopping a t which place the train proceeded at a steady rate until it came to the place where the accident occurred. The engine having been stopped by the falling of the earth, the, carriages in the rear were forced over those that preceded them, and the shock was so great that they were thrown out of the car riage in which they were. It was extremely dark when the accident took place. This was all the evidence that was prteeeded with before the Coroner. Mr. Millard, the foreman Q t . the Jury, said it was cur rently reported that the parties connected with the rail way had received an intimation three weeks ago, that the earth was slipping at the very place where the fatal acci dent had occurred, and he therefore thought it the most desirable that the inquest should be adjourned, in order that the Jury might be enabled to come to a decision upon that very important view of the case. It was most desirable that the public mind should be set right on this point, and the Railway Co#►pany itself ought to be anxious that the fullest investigation should take place in respect to this statement. The gentlemen in attendance from the Railway Com pany denied that such a communication could be made to any party connected with the Company, as in fact there were no indications of the earth slipping previous to the moment when the fatal accident took place. Several of the Jury, however, concurring in the pro priety of an adjournment, the inquest was accordingly adjourned until Monday next (this day.) Of the seventeen persons who were taken to the hos pital injured, only twelve remained. The following is an account of these persons, who they are, and the nature of the injuries sustained by them. John Sainsbury, .aged 30, a navigator, from Lambeth =Severe contusions on various parts of the body. Thomas Wheeler, aged 30, newspaper reporter, resid ing at Mill's-building, Knightsbridge, London—Contu sions in the face. This patient, however, was so far re covered as to be able to leave the hospital by three o'clock on Saturday, and proceed to his friends, who live in the neighbobrhood of Reading, and to whom he was going to pay a visit. Ann Wheeler, aged 31, wife to Thomas Wheeler, the last-mentioned patient. Injury—Broken arm, and con tusions of the head and back. Thomas Hughes, aged 15, a painter, residing at Ham mersmith. Injury—Concussion of the brain, contusions on the face, and injury to the abdOmen. A bad case. The next patient on the list is supposed to be named Richard Wooley, but from the severe injuries which he has received he has not been able to say from whence he came, or where he was going to. He is suffering from a compound fracture of the skull. He is insensible, and his recovery is doubtful. Tlibmas Hawkins, aged 24, a stonemason, who was re turning home to a place called Fishponds, near Bristol, to spend the Christmas with his family. He is employed at the Woolwich-dock-yard. Injury—a dislocation of the great toe, part of which had to be amputated. Anthony Batten, aged 43, a saddler, residing in Man chester-mews,Marylebone. Injury—contusions in various parts of the body. James Stapleton, aged 31, a stonemason, was also re turning home to his family at Cheltenham. Injury—dis location of the shoulder. William Baldwin, aged 52, also a stonemason. He was likewise returning to his family at Cheltenham. Injury —a fracture of the ribs at the right side. Elizabeth Barnes, aged 20, a servant, residing in Ad dle-street in the City. Injury—a laceration of the scalp and a contusion of the back. Elizabeth Carpenter, aged 29, a servant, living in Charles-street, Blackfriars-road. Injury—contusion of the legs. Hannah Cooper, aged 40, a servant, living in Tho mas-street, Kennington Common. Injury—dislocation of the bones of the right foot. Of the eight men killed only two have been owned, namely Henry Williams, who has been recognised by his father, who was in the train with his son when the accident occurred, and who fortunately escaped unhurt, and John Ralph, a man about forty years of age ; he was recognised by his aged father, a farmer residing at Horwall, near Wnntage. It was really distressing to witness the grief of the poor old man as he gazed upon the mutilated corpse of his departed son. The following incident, connected with the accident, has been much spoken of :—" Amongst the passengers in the luggage train at the time of the occurrence was a female of most respectable appearance, who was going to Bath to spend the Christmas with her friends. She had with her a little girl, and on being extricated from the carriages, she was unable to find her for full ten minutes, when the girl was found lying between two of the deceased persons, under one of the carriages, appa rently unhurt. The female, who had received a contu sion on the eye, declined going to the hospital to have it dressed, and went on to Bath with the little girl." LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1841. PUBLICATION S.

EIGHT LIVES LOST. (From our Evening Edition of Saturday.) Yesterday morning one of the most frightful acci dents happened on the Great Western Railway that ever occurred in this country. It appears that the engine Hecla left Paddington station about four o'clock in the morning, with the luggage train, consisting of fourteen waggons, two trucks, and about twenty-seven passengers. On. ar riving at the cutting, near Sunning Hill, within about three miles of Reading, at a place called the Gullet, and about eighty yards east of the wooden bridge, the immense embankment had given way, and covered about thirty yards of the down line of rails. The engine got completely embedded in the earth, and the crash was so great as to throw the tender and moat of the trait on the opposite line ; indeed one waggon was, by the terrific concussion, actually forced on the top of another. The unfortunate passengers were thrown out in all directions, and some were crushed between the trucks, and others were buried beneath the fallen earth. The consternation was at this time of the most appalling nature, and the lamentable cries of a father who saw his son literally crushed between the tender ' and the truck was of the most heart-reading description. Information was immediately forwarded to Reading, and the most prompt measures were adopted to render effectual assistance in this dreadful affair. The unfortu nate sufferers were as speedily as possible conveyed to Reading in the first-class carriages, where they were met by Mr. F. A. Bulley, Mr. Morris, and Mr. May, surgeons of the Royal Berkshire Hospital, who lost no time in having them conveyed to the -hospital, in omnibuses, carriages, flys, ficc., It is somewhat remarkable that neither the driver of the engine nor his assistant sus tained any injury ; the conductor and the guard also escaped unhurt, although the former was thrown from his seat over the bank with great violence. The guard was thrown upon the opposite embankment, and other officers of the Company were saved by leaping from their places. The accident happened about half-past six o'clock in the morning, but many of the bodies of those who were killed were not extricated before half past eight o'clock, although every possible assistance was rendered. Most of the sufferers were mechanics, who had taken their places for Cheltenham or Gloucester. One was a Baptist preacher; he was respectably dressed, but no papers were found on him to identify his per son. Much credit is due to the engineer, who, with great presence of mind, shut off the steam before he leaped from the engine, by which an explosion was pre vented. The up and down trains were delayed be tween Twyford and Reading until the ground was cleared off one side of the rails, which was not effected until nearly one o'clock in the afternoon. The total number convey ed to the hospital was seventeen ; five, after having their wounds dressed, were able to proceed on their journey. Tnere were several others who had received injuries that were attended to by the surgeons in Reading, but lam happy to find they were not of a serious nature. Of the twelve sufferers who arc now left in the hospital one has a fracture of the skull, anti has been trepanned ; two are suffering from injuries of the bones of their feet, two with broken arms, one dis location of the arm, one fracture of the ribs, one lace ration of the scalp, one injury of the back, and three internal injuries. Although it was apprehended in the early part of the afternoon that many of the cases at the hospital would prove fatal, I am happy to learn from inquiry at a late hour (nine o'clock in the evening) that all the patients are going on favourably, and great hopes arc entertained of their recovery. It is but justice to state that nothing could exceed the care and attention rendered to the unfortunate suf ferers by the surgeons, and every one connected with this valuable institution. Mr. May, the Coroner, held an inquest on the bodies last evening, which was adjourned until Monday after noon, at the request of the foreman and one or two of the Jury, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the report was correct that the embankment had partially , given way a day or two previous and had not been at tended to by the officers of the Company. Mr. Saunders, on the part of the Railway Company, attended to watch the proceedings. (From the Times.) An accident, attended with more deplorable conse • quences than any we have yet had occasion 'to record, occurred yesterday morning on this railway, and has deprived no less than eight unfortunate beings of life, besides inflicting serious injuries on many others. Owing to the strict reserve on the part of all the Company's servants, we have had considerable trouble in collecting the following information respecting this fearful calamity, which may, however, be relied on as' substantially correct. It appears that the luggage train, which leaves Paddington at half-past four a.m., was proceeding downwards at the usual hour, with about thirty-eight passengers, chiefly of the poorer class, who were looking forward to a Christmas holiday in the country, w h en on reac hi n g th e m iddl e of the Sunning-hill cutt i ng, about two m il es an d a half from R ea di ng , i t suddenly came in contact w i th a mass of earth which had slipped from the slope above, and covered one of the rails to the depth of two or three feet. On meeting with this obstruction the engine was immediately forced off the rail, dragging the tender after it ; the next truck, which contained the passengers, was thrown athwart the line, and in an in stant was overwhelmed by the trucks behind, which were thrown up into the air by the violence of the col lision, and fell with fearful force upon it. The engi neer, and the guard, who was in the same truck with the passengers, had just tim e to perceive the danger, and springing from the carr i ages, escape d ; b ut o f the rest of th passengers, no less than eight, shocking to say, were killed on the spot, and seventeen others more or less severely wounded. These were conveyed, as soon as possible, to the Reading Hospital, where every attention which the dreadful circumstances of the case required was paid them. Pour were sufficiently reco vered to be enabled to proce e d on th e i r j ourney th e same day, and the rest, with the exception done or two who lie in a very precarious state, are reported to be going on favourably. Several persons, who arrived on the spot a few mi nutes after the accident happened, describe the sight as horrible in the extreme. The morning was dark and gloomy, but through the obscure light which was ob tained, were discerned the corpses of eight persons frightfully mutilated, and crushed amidst tie wreck of trucks which were heaped in confusion one upon an other. Of these unfortunate victims, one was stated to be a wotnan ; another, a son, whose sudden and de plorable fate bad been witnessed by fifs own father, who was his fellow-passenger, and who escaped with his life. The corpses of the deceased were conveyed to a neighbouring hut, where they remained during the day. An inquest was held by the Coroner upon the bo dies of the deceased, at a neighbouring public-house, at three o'clock in the afternoon, but we have not been aVe to ascertain the precise nature of the evi dence produced. An impression certainly prevails in the neighbourhood, that the embankments of the railway at that part of the road where the accident occurred are not in a secure condition. The cuttings are very deep and extensive, and the soil through which they are formed is stated to be of a loose springy nature, and therefore the more liable to fall. They are also considered to be too perpendicular, and their insecurity is supposed to have been greatly in creased by the succession of rains that has taken place, and by the change in the weather which has just oc curred. Previous to the occurrenc e of the accident, it would appear that the attention of the Company's servants was drawn to the state of the embankments in consequence of its having been observed that in some places the earth exhibited a tendency to slip. One of the Company's servants, whose duty it was to take charge of this portion of the road, stated, how ever, in his examination by the Coroner, that he carefully examined the condition of the embank ments so recently as a little before 5 o'clock on the preceding evening, that they were then per fectly secure, and that there was not the slightest appearance of there being any danger of a slip taking place. It is, nevertheless, the opinion of some persons that the obstruction must have existed some hours at least before the sad catastrophe oc curred. We can offer no opinion of our own as to the accuracy of this view of the matter, and we have no means of determining whether it is entitled to any con sideration. The inquest was still sitting at eight o'clock last night ; and if an adjournment of the inquiry should not take place, it is probable th at i t wou l d b e protracted to a very ate hour. We are informed that the passengers who travel by the luggage trains are placed in an open carriage immediately behind the engine, and between the trucks in which the luggage is conveyed. By this mode of arrangement, in case of any accident occur ring to impede the progress of the engine, the passen gers are placed in the most dangerous position. The impetus given to the luggage trucks by the speed at ' if any ob s t ruc ti on to the m o st f r i g h t f u l should t t a h k e e y p a la r c e e, pr b o r p in e g lle , t t e m m us in t fromng the passengers, those a co n l d lis m io u n si w a i l t m h o t s h t e in c e a v r i r ., i a z b g ly e c c o u n t t o a ff ini unfortu nate persons the slightest chance of escape. We have not been able to learn the names of any of those who have: perished in this lamentable catas trophe, nor have any, we believe, been recognised, but one, who is stated to be the waggoner of the van between Landon and Steventon. Of this, how ever, we can give no certain account, as, in conse quence of the secrecy evidently enjoined on the Company's se oants, we have had no direct means of obtaining &lotion, which to goo many people must be of the most important and painful interest. We have no doubt that in observing this extreme caution, the Directors of the Company have been actuated by the best motives ; but we would earnestly recommend all railway companies, in future, out of compassion to the feelings of the friends and relatives of the sufferers, to afford, every means in their power of satisfying the pub lic, and preventing undue exaggeration and alarm. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Last evening a feeling of intense excitement was cre ated throughout the metropolis by the circulation of a report that a most frightful accident had occurred in the course of the morning on the line of the Great Western Railway, by which a most dreadful sacrifice of human life had been occasioned. The accident was stated to have occurred to the day mail train in its outward progress, but from inquiries, our reporter had made at the Paddington terminus, it appears that this statement is not correct. From the information with which our reporter was kindly fur nished by Mr. S. Clark, the superintendent of the Rail way, it appears that the morning goods train left the Paddington terminus about the usual time, half-past four o'clock a.m., and made its usual stoppages at the different stations down the line, until it arrived at Twy ford, between Maidenhead and Reading. It was then about six o'clock, and still quite dark, when the train pursued its course until it reached the deep cutting about half-way between Twyford and Reading. Just as the train approached, an extensive slip of earth, the consequence of the late heavy and continued rains, took place from the embankment on the south side, large masses falling right across the line. Before the en gineer or guard could be aware of the danger, the engine had run upon this obstruction, by which it was turned off the rails, carrying the train with if, until it was comptptely buried in the earth. The scene which ensued at that moment it would be impossible for even an eye-witness to describe, but we understand that on lights and assistance arriving, it was found that four of the carriages, or trucks, in which were a number of passengers, were completely broken to pieces, while of the passengers eight were found to be lifeless, eight so severely injured as to require their being immediately removed to the Berkshire County Hospital at Reading, while the remainder, whose injuries we: e not so severe, were attended to by the medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood. Immediately on the intelligence of the melancholy occurrence being received at the Pad dington terminus, several of the officers of the Com pany, followed by some of the Directors, proceeded in special trains to the spot, for the purpose of rendering assistance to those of the unfortunate sufferers still sui: viving. Throughout the evening numberless applications were made by the friends of persons who had proceeded by the train, but they were unable to obtain any satisfac tory information as to their fate. All the in-coming trains were late during the day, and when our reporter left, the train which ought to have reached Paddington had not yet come in. FURTHER PARTICULARS. READING, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The trucks containing the passengers were crushed between the luggage wag gons and the tender, and scarcely one of the unfortu- nate travellers escaped without the most serious and dangerous injuries. Some of the carriages were upset, and others jammed between the hindermost waggons and the engine and tender. Tile cries of the maimed and wounded, and the shrieks of the dying, at this moment, it were impossible to describe. It was at once a scene of destruction and horror of the most lamentable and heart-rending cha racter. Despatches were instantly sent' to Reading for me dical aid, and several professional gentlemen were shortly on the spot. It may be considered most extraordinary that neither the engineer nor the stoker rec6rei the least injury. Considerable time elapsed before the whole of the unfortunate creatures could be extricated from the frag ments of the broken carriages. Eight were found dead, and the whole of the remainder more or less injured. Ti►e names of those who were killed, who were con veyed to a cottage bard by, were totally unknown when this account was despatched from Reading. An inquest upon the bodies was held this evening, before Mr. May, one of the Coroners for Berks, and adjourned till the afternoon of Monday next. We shall give the whole of the evidence at the termination of the proceedings. At present nothing has been pro duced in evidence in any way to attach blame to the Railway Company. Sixteen persons, consisting of eleven men and five women, were conveyed to the County Hospital, at j Reading, in various vehicles, which were despatched to the scene of the fearful calamity, where they were most humanely attended by Mr. F. A. Bulley, Mr. May, and Mr. Morris, surgeons to that institution. The folowing is a description of the injuries they have sustained : J. A man with his Anil dreadfully fractured, upon whom the operation of trepanning was immediately per formed. 2. Shoulder joint dislocated. 3. Foot dreadfully crushed. A portion of the bones were removed. 4. A man and woman with their arms broken. .5. Three cases of concussion of the spine. 6. Head severely injured. 7. Two men with broken ribs. At a late hour last evening the whole of the patients in the hospital were alive. One or two, however, who have experienced injuries of the spine, are not expected to survive. The sufferers are receiving every attention from the medical officers of the institution, and no pains are spared to alleviate their sufferings. Tile sufferers are chiefly composed of working men, principally:stone-masons,who were proceeding to Chelten ham, Gloucester, and Bridgewater. It is not expected that any will be able to leave the hospital for a month or six weeks. From a quarterly ticket found upon the person of one who is dead, he is supposed to be a Dissenting preacher, named Jabez Cler. The body of a respectably-dresse3 mechanic, which was crushed between one of the carriages and the ten der, was nearly severed. It appears that the engineer (who, along with his assistant, jumped off the engine the moment the catas trophe occurred) had the precaution to shut off the steam, thus preventing the explosion of the boiler, which, under the circumstances, must otherwise have inevitably taken place. Immediately upon the accident being known in town, Mr. Brunel, the engineer to the Company, Mr. Saunders, one of the secretaries, with Mr. Seymour Clark, left the Paddington terminus by a special train, with nearly 100 workmen, to clear away the obstruc tion upon the rail. The inquest was adjourned this evening, at the re cpzest of the Foreman of the Jury, who wished some evidence to be produced to prove the state of that por tion of the bank which slipped during the past fort night or three weeks. The inquiry excites the most intense interest through out the entire neighbourhood. Since the receipt of the above accounts we have learnt, from good authority, that the slip of embank ment took place between half-past four and seven o'clock yesterday morning. The up mail train passed the place where the accident occurred about half-past four o'clock, and there was at that time no impediment on the road. The train to which the unfortunate acci- dent occurred was a particularly heavy one : it con tained upwards of 800 barrels of oysters and baskets of fish. Indeed, throughout the week the Christmas cheer that has been forwarded by the railway has been immense. The inquest is adjourned till Monday. The line is now cleared, and the trains will proceed as usual. (From a Second Edition of the Reading Mercury.) It is with feelings of deep regret that we have to record one of the most lamentable railway accidents that, we believe, has ever occurred in this country, and which took place this morning on that part of the Great 'Western Line, called "the gullet,' the deepest part of the Sunning-hill cutting, rather more than two miles from Reading. It appears that during the interim that elapsed between the passing down of the goods train about midnight, and the arrival of a similar train at half past six this morning, the embankment of the south side of the gullet, and about one hundred yards east of the wooden bridge, gave way, completely covering about forty yards of the south or down line of rails. This un fortunate occurrence being unobserved by the police man at this district, no intimation of it could possibly be conveyed to the driver of the approaching train, con sequently, on the arrival of the luggage train, at about half-past 6 o'clock, a most terrific scene occurred. The train which was progressing at its accustomed pace, and con sisted of twelve or fourteen waggons, two trucks, and the engine and tender, was suddenly thrown off the rails, and partially shattered to atoms. The engine, which, was called the " Hecht," ran into the mass of earth, in which it was more than half buried, while the tender and passen ger trucks were turned over and jammed against the waggons immediately behind. The consternation at this moment, amid the expiring yells of some of the passengers, and the shrieks of others less injured , may be more easily co nceived than detailed. One of the most dist ress i ng features, perhaps, of this awful scene, was the lament able cries of an aged father, who saw his son, wh o h a d o nn his countenance redful was a n was sho d c i s k c i e n r g n l i y b lmutilated,efaccompanied him in this unhappy journey, li tera l ly crushed between the tender and the truck, and instanta neously killed. Another of the sufferers, appa ren tl y an age d m was conveyed to Reading as speedily as pos sible, and several medical gentlemen wer e s h or tly o n the spot. There were about thirty passengers, including s ome females, nearly the whole of wh om were more or catastrophe entirely or thatati Information of the d a less. injured ; about twenty were brought on v to Reading, in a carriage sent up for that purpose, and their appear- PRICE 5d ante, on their arrival at the station, was of the most de. pressing character. It is a remarkable fact, that neither the driver of the engine, nor his assistant, sustained any injury; the con ductor and the guard also escaped unhurt, although the former, we believe, was thrown from his seat over to the bank, upon which he fell with great force. The guard was thrown upon the opposite embankment, and the other officers were saved by leaping from their places. By about half-past eight o'clock a great number of persons had reached the spot, and the most active exer tions were made to extricate the poor fellows who were lying dead beneath the wheels and among the shattered fragments of the trucks. This, however, was a work of great difficulty as well as hazard ; and several hours elapsed before the heavy trucks were raised. The removal of each presented a spectacle too horrible to be described ; five of the unhappy men were extri cated without much delay, to the remaining three were so entangled with the whee and shattered trucks, that they were for a long time unapproachable. One of these, a decently dressed mechanic, was taken in the waist by the tender and the truck, in an upright posi tion, his back being nearly severed by the crash. They were all at length removed:to a small hut in the London road, where the eight bodies were deposited and covered with straw. One of them appeared about 18 years old, while the others, so far as we could judge, were from about 20 to 30 years of age, except one man, who, as we have before stated, though not recognisable, must have been somewhat older. The engineer, with great presence of mind, shut off the steam before leaping from the engine, by which an explosion was prevented. The whole of the up and down trains were delayed at Twyford and Reading, until a pas sage could be effected, which was not until nearly mid-day. The total number conveyed to the hospital is 17, being twelve men and five women ; thirteen were imme diately placed in bed, more or less seriously injured, combining fractures and dislocations ; 'but, with one exception, no amputation will be necessary : the most serious are two or three spinal cases, the inju ries being so severe, that there is little hope of their recovery. The other four, although much hurt and bruised, will shortly be enabled to proceed on their route to Bristol. Fortunately there were fewer pa tients in the Hospital than has been known for some weeks past, from whieh circumstance every accommoda tion and assistance was readily afforded the unfortunate sufferers. We would submit that the passenger trucks should be placed in a less dangerous situation than that in which they are generally (being attached to the engine); had they been placed behind the luggage waggons, this afflicting loss of life would, in all probability, have been avoided, as several of the last waggons retained their positions on the rails without receiving the slightest damage. The names of the deceased we have not yet learned ; but, from their appearance, they are principally mecha nics and labourers, and wer3 journeying towards Ciren cester and Bristol. The inquest, we believe, will be held this evening. _ _ The following is the account given by Mrs. Carpenter, one of the passengers : " The train left London at half-past four o'clock. There were three trucks containing passengers, about 40 or 50 in number. There was only one truck-load of goods, and those were packed between the passengers. The night was very clear, and we were going about the usual speed. All of a moment we felt a shock, and were tossed against each other, and up into the air and down again, and then the carriage Was broken all to pieces, and then we found ourselves among the luggage. I can not say how my husband got out, but after he got out he dragged me out, and also my sister-in-law, both of whom were insensible, but afterwards recovered. The persons who sat on the right and left of me were killed. We were assisted out by our friends, who were not so much injured, and laid upon the bank-side, but I saw no policeman at all. At the time the accident occured we were going at a fast-rate. I and my three relatives were the only persons who were so little injured as to be enabled to conic to Bristol. After the accident a mes senger was dispatched and brought persons. In about an hour afterwards some policemen and several surgeons arrived, and afterwards a train came and took us to the hospital at Reading. They took all the persons to Read ing. I saw myself ten dead bodies, and I heard that was the number killed. I believe that every one of the pas sengers had limbs broken or were otherwise seriously in jured, excepting I and my friends. When we came away there was a young woman expected to die every minute. I heard that she was a servant girl. Ido not know how many were taken into the hospital; but I heard the matron say that eighteen were taken in besides those dead. I heard the surgeon say that he was just going to take off one person's foot. I believe most of them were greatly injured. The engine was driven into the fallen earthwork to a considerable depth. There was one baby there belonging to a woman, which after the accident she was unable to find for a long while, at length she found it unhurt and asleep between two dead men." (LATEST PARTICULARS.) INQUEST ON THE BODIES. It appears that shortly after the melancholy accident had been communicated to Mr. Saunders, the Secretary to the Railway, that gentleman took steps to get the ne cessary parties together, in order that a Coroner's Jury might be empannelled to inquire into the cause.of the death of the eight unfortunate men in question. Accord ingly, Mr. May, the County Coroner, issued his warrant, and at three o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, a jury, consisting of twelve inhabitants of the parish of Sonning assembled at a small inn, on the London-road, about two miles from Reading, called, " The Shepherd's House." The jury, after being sworn, proceeded to view the mangled remains of the eight poor men, and after wit nessing the distressing spectacle, returned to the inn, and the inquiry was proceeded with. The jury room was crowded by some of the most re spectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mr. Saun ders, the Secretary to the Great 'Western Railway Com pany, Mr. Sadgrove, the Railway Superintendent, and other officers of the Company, were likewise present. The following statement ot what occurred before the Coroner's Jury may be relied on as being, in substance, a correct account of what took place : Mr. Edward May, surgeon, was the first witness called. He deposed that about eight o'clock on that morning he was sent for to the Reading Railway Station, and was in formed that an accident had occurred on that part of the line known as Sonning Cutting, and that several parties had been injured. He instantly repaired to the spot, which is situated about halfway between the Twyford and the Reading stations, and about two miles and a half from the latter town. Upon arriving there he found two dead bodies lying on the side of the train, and his atten tion was afterwards directed to three other bodies that were lying under a truck or carriage. He was also in formed that three bodies bad been previously removed to a hut on the London road, which was a short distance from the spot where the accident had occurred. He saw those bodies afterwards. Thus making in all eight per sons who had been killed by the accident. Examined the bodies and found that in respect to the first that he noticed both arms and legs were broken; the third exhi bited a similar injury; the fourth displayed a fractured skull; the fifth, fractured ribs ; the sixth, fractured ribs and broken collar-bone; the seventh, fractured ribs and pelvis; and the eighth, fractured chest and other injury. Of course he need not say that the injuries which were thus exhibited were the cause of death. Thomas Reynolds, the engineer, was next examined ; he deposed he left the Paddington station with the train to which the accident occurred, which is called the goods train, at twenty minutes to five o'clock on Friday morn ing, and got to Twyford about twenty minutes to seven o'clock. He proceeded onward and met no obstruction until he calve near to a wooden bridge which crosses the railway, and leads from Woodley to Sonning, and then the engine ran into a body of earth which had fallen upon the railway, and which was caused by the slipping of the embankment through which the railway was cut; the consequence was, that the engine was turned off the line, the carriages then turned over one ano ther, and thus the fatal occurrence that took place had arisen. At the time the accident occurred the train was going at the usual speed, namely from sixteen to eighteen miles an hour. This was the rate at which the goods train travelled. About half a mile before he got to the slip in question he saw a policeman who showed him a light that "all was right." Had noticed slips in the vicinity of the place where the accident happened, hut did not think them of any consequence.

George Hassam, the guard, who had th e care carriages, e a e of h truck for passengers' luggage, an d ol turned r n the ed sixteen luggage waggons. He also deposed to the fact of the train rr • ing about twenty minutes to se ven o'clock at Twyford. aiv- When about half way betw een t hi s station and Reading the engine was thrown off th e li ne in the way a lready described. This obstacl e to the progress of the train caused a dreadful collision, by which the carriages we re thrown off the line, Causing the melancholy accident in question. He was in the habit of travelling in the train by night, and usually observed a watchman on the line. He, however, missed him during the last week. The morning was extremely dark. The engine driver was perfectly sober, and there could be no ground for attach ing blame to him. Witness had reason to believe that the earth fell on the train as it was passing, for he was nearly smothered from the quantity ofearth that fell. It was however so dark that ho could not see. Mr. Thomas Bertram, assistant engineer to Mr. Bru nel], deposed that he had the care and superintendence of that part of the line which lay between Reading . a d tolled and examined the state dington. He constantly wa 1 e had t . d. of the works between the points i nd dovi m n e f n ion i e testdin did this daily by trar'r'llrnr up r a o s ra li " which to Paddington and back. inspected p had taken place a short time since in Sonning cutting, and had taken the necessary steps to prevent any evil rising from it.

In the event of any thing occurring in his absence that required prompt attention the foremen had power to employ per sons to do what was necessary. He was quite sure the " slip" which caused the accident was a new " slip"—for there had been no indication of danger in that quarter previously. If there had been, he should have seen to it.

It It ' S LIFE PILLS. Extract from the Third Series of Cures effected by this extraordinary Medicine. SECOND LETTER FROM MR. OSBORNE. " Gentlemen,—l write to inform you that I have returned on foot from Liverpool, and many of my old friends here are indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity. I must also inform you that my brother-in-law, Mr. W. J. Barres, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to life and sound health, made use of Parr's Life Pills, and their effects on him have, if possible, been even more miraculous than on myself. He had suffered from a most distressing asthma, cough, &c., for above seven years, but, after using one box at 2s. 91, is quite a new being. The most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails, wbich had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly, have been replaced by new and perfect ones. This has been considered by many who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part, I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr. I:continue to enjoy the best of health and spirits, and am yours very re spectfully, JOHN OSBORNE, " Late of her Majesty's 52d Regiment of Foot, dis charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors. " Hinckley, July 27, 1841." In no one instance has this in"aluable Medicine failed, when duty persevered in, to afford relief, even i n the oldest and most inveterate cases; if any, from want of confidence or fickleness, discontinue their use to, early, and thus leave unacconaplished what they desired, are they to attribute the f au l t to the medi cine? Cert a i n ly no t ; but to their own l ore of change and want of patience. Celsus has justly remarked, that " Diseases slow in their progress go off very slowly; and that time is ne cessary to remove the deeply-rooted evils whi c h time has occa sioned." This should be borne in mind by all suffering from disease deeply-rooted in the . system, to i mpart patience and per severance in the u.se of this medicine ; and where the disorder seems obstinate, they ma/ rest fully assured that time will effect a radical and perfect cure. * *: See directions given with every B ox .

Two men, - known hands of justice, being seen on Thursday last at St. Pierre, near Calais, were suspected to be those who on the night of the 29th ult. made the attempt to murder theiwidow Boulanger at Beau Marais, as we have related, from which she fortunately escaped. Gendarmes sent from Calais in search found and brought them into the pre sence of the poor old woman, who has clearly recognised them both. One is 31 years of age, nam e d Pi erre Gi ilot, and the other, Francois Grindal, is only 21. They are committed for trial, FROM TILE FRENCH PAPERS. A curious action is pending before the Juge-de-Paix of Bourbon Vendee. An aerolite fell in the commune of Rocheserviers a few weeks ago, and as it was of con siderable size became an object of high curiosity. The Mayor of the place claims it for his brother, on whose land it fell, and the actual possessor maintains his right to it from having purchased it of the peasants who saw it fall. On Sunday last, as the Presse de Seine et Oise states, the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours went to shoot in the plain of Chevreloup, near Versailles. Their Royal High nesses, on coming out of the Grand Trianon, met a wed ding party assembled at the keeper's lodge, in the Avenue St. Antoine, and, after conversing with some of the per sons composing it, kindly promised that they would send some game for the dinner. A few hours after, some of the Royal game-keepers brought in an abundant supply sent by the Princes. It is needless to add that their healths were drank in bumpers._ . _ _ Several journals having stated that the uniform of the whole of the French infantry was about to undergo a total change, the Moniteur Parisien says that the report is incorrect ; that the experiment will be made with five battalions from the Ist January, and that it will require several months' test of the new system before any general measure on the subject can be decided on. The Court of Cassation was yesterday engaged in hearing an appeal arising out of a suit instituted by the State against the Duchess de Berri as the guardian of her children, the Duke de Bordeaux and Mlle. de Rosny, for one-fourth of the value of forest lands inherited by them from their father the Duke de Berri, and their grandfather, Charles X. The claim of the State, which it is said amounts to several millions, is founded upon a law of 14 Ventose, An. VII., 4th March, 1799. O r i g i_ nally, five suits were instituted—viz., in the tribunals of the Cher, Marne, Haute Marne, Vosges, and Ardennes, the departments in which the forests are situated. By interlocutory proceedings the suit in the Cher was main tained at Bourges, and is still in progress, but the four other suits were consolidated, and referred to the Tribu nal of Vassy, in the Marne. This partition was, it ap pears, founded on the fact of the title of the Duke de Bordeaux and his sister being derived from different sources. The Duchess de Berri pleaded against the competency of the Tribunal of Vassy to decide upon the rights of property lying in other departments, and having gained her cause before the Tribunal of Vassy , an d assy, afterwards before the Cour Royale of Dijon, the Advo cate-General lodged an appeal before the Court of Cas sation, which at the hearing of yesterday ann ulled the decisions of the Courts below, Consequently the merits of the case remain to be tried in a process of first in stance before the Tribunal of Bourges and Vassy. The English residents at Wiesbaden had a grand din ner there on the 12th inst in honour of the birth of the Prince of Wales. The inhabitants of Guingssill:', the Cotes du Nord, were last week ast on i s h e d a t the ex hibition of a remark ably fine sheep, black as ebony, with five horns on the hid, three on one side, one on the other, and one in the middle. It h a d b e en purchase d b y a butcher at Pe dernec. The Chro mq * ue de Fouger es, in the Ille-et-Vilaine, re lates the follo - win , instance of fidelity and sagacity of a dog. A m ill e r Javene was returning toomuch wine, when, in attempting to pass home a few evenings ago rather unsteady from o ver a plank across the mill stream, ca he fell in, and w as e d down the current. His dog plunged in after bi ro, T aug ht him by the hair, and landed him safe, but sense l ess, .on the bank. The animal then went into the water again, and brought out his master's hat which had fallen off. Finding that he did not stir the animal ran off to the mill, and by his scratching and barking at the door, called out the family and guided them to where he had left his master in time to restore him to animation. A company has been formed in Russia for the manu facture of wine and brandy from whortle-berries, accord ing to the process introduced by General Count de Chassenon at St. Hubert, in Luxembourg, in 1837. The Russian Government is said to have granted the gratuit ous use of premises in Lithuania, and to have ordered that all the utensils, which are now making in Paris, shall be imported free of duty. As the whortle-berry plant grows abundantly in northern countries, it is supposed that the cultivation of it in Russia will materially injure the French trade there in brandy and wines. It is ex. pected by the Company that they will make 10,000 hec tolitres of wine and a proportionate quantity of brandy every year. A Report on this discovery will, it is said, be made at one of the early sittings of the Academy o f Sciences. A letter from Bamberg, in B Lvaria, announces th a t the Jeanne d'Arc steamboat. arrived there on the 15th inst., being the first that leas ever navigated the Maine and the Regnitz. She came to an anchor at the mouth of the Louis Canal, which is nearly completed, and will join the Maine with the Danube, amidst salvos of artil lery and the shouts of the assembled multitude. A gratid public dihner was given on the occasion., and in the even ing there were fireworks and a general illumination. The Rhine, the Maine, the Regnitz, and th e M oselle are now regularly traversed by steamboats, concentrating in the Louis Canal, at the point of junction of the Bavarian and Saxon Railroads. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 23.—The business during the past week has been so trifling that it is impossible to give quotations—in fact both buyers and sellers are waiting till after the Christmas holidays.
