DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT READING. In The Sint of yesterday there appeared a brief inti mation of the occurrence of a serious accident on the Reigate and Reading branch of the London and South- Eastern Railway. We regret to say that the results of the accident are even more distressing that we then anticipated ; the lives of four human beings have already been sacrificed—no hope is entertained with regard to a fifth, and there are even fears lest that number should be exceeded, while not fewer than seven others are suf fering from injuries more or less severe. It will be seen from the following particulars that, though the imme diate cause of the accident has been thoroughly ascer tained, the conduct of the person by whom it was di rectly produced was so unaccountable as to baffle all attempts to explain it, and, as the unfortunate man is himself among the dead, the origin of the extraordinary mistake under which he acted will probably for ever re main a mystery. It appears that on the evening of Wednesday, in con sequence of the receipt of a telegraphic message at Read ing, arrangements were made for sending a pilot or empty engine to Guildford, whence it was to take the 6,30 p.m. London train along the Reigate line to Read ing. The stationmaster gave directions that the engine should be driven by Jos. Crossley, an engineer of con siderable standing, and regarded as a man of unusual steadiness and sobriey. Crossley, from some unexplained cause, did not immediately obey the order, and, when be at length did appear at the station, he proceeded, with out communicating with the stationmaster, directly to the shed in which the engine was stationed. The a stoker who has regularly a ttended upon th e eng i ne not being present, Crossley told a man na me d Fer gusson, a clearer, ." to jump up. " He did so , an d Crossley, withou t further communication with any one—without inquiring after or giving an y orders for altering the points—which was necessary to enable the engine to get upon the up line—brought the engine out of the shed, an getting up the steam dashed along the down line. The man who was acting as stoker suggested that the lamps should be lighted before starting, according to the invariable rule, but he disre garded the suggestion, observing that the lamps could be lighted before they got to Wokiegham. This occurred about a quarter past 7 o'clock, though it was a matter, of perfect notoriety to everybody connected with the rail way that the 4.40 train from London was due at the station at 35 minutes past 7, and must, as a matter of course, be at hand on the down line of rails. Ferguson, the stoker, states that both he and Crossley were perfectly well aware that a down train was near due, but he had no idea that they were travelling along the down line, his attention being wholly engrossed with the duty of trimming the lamps. Whether Crossley was equally igno rant and thoughtless en the subject, or whether he was under the mistaken impression that he was travelling along the up line, cannot now be ascertained ; but the reader must already have anticipated the dreadful conse quences. About a mile and a quarter from Reading, at a place called Hathaway's Farm, the engine and the down train, which was running at the rate of 35 miles an hour, came in collision with each other. The latter consisted of a first-class carriage, a second-class, a compound car riage, including both first and second, and a luggage van. The two opposing engines were literally dashed to pieces, the luggage van, and the second-class carriage were entirely demolished, but the first-class carriage dire not sustain any material damage. Mr. Hathaway, the possessor of the farm already mentioned, and a farm labourer, saw the frightful collision, and both hastened to the spot, when a most shocking spectacle presented itself. Joseph Crossley, the engineer of the pilot en gine,, was found dead at the foot of the embankment, having an oil-can in his hand, with which, as Ferguson, the stoker, informs us, he had just been oili ng th e en gine. Under the ruins of the passenger train were found the mangled remains of Mr. Thomas Fyninore, a clerk in Simonds' bank. Reading, who was on his way home from a fortnight's holidays ; also a man, believed to be Francis Beart, agamekeeper at Hampstead Norris. Mr. Christopher Bilton, a young man who was proceed ing to Reading from London on a visit to his parents, was so dreadfully injured that he died yesterday morn ing at half-past nine o'clock. Among the persons se verely injured are Mrs. Norton, wife of the clerk at the Reading goods station, whose case was last night con sidered hopeless ; Jesse Ferguson, the man who act e d as stoker on the pilot engine, and who lies at the hes. pital in great distress ; H. Harrison, fireman of the pas senger train ; Miss Elizabeth Banning, and Mr. Skinner, of Bristol; Mr. Charles Sowden, of Reading, and Mr. W. Graham, driver of the passenger train, all much in jured, and one or two of them seriously mangled. The alarm was soon spread far and wide ; the farm labourers to whom reference has been made ran to the station and communicated the intelligence, and without a mo ment's delay conveyances were sent off for the removal of the wounded, and every assistance rendered that was possible under the circumstances. With the greatest care and promptitude most of the sufferers were taken to the hospital, where Dr. Williams, Mr. Maurice, Mr. Moxhay, and other medical men, were unremitting in their attentions in the exertions of their medical skill. The following is a list of the killed and wounded :—, KILLED. Joseph Crossley, Reading, the driver of the pilot engine. _ _ Mr. F. Fynmore, clerk to Messrs. Simonds' Bank, Itear:ipg. Christopher Bilton, 16 years of age, Castle-street, Reading. _ _ Francis Beart - , supposed to be a gamekeeper at Hamp stead Norris. INJURED. Mrs. Norton, wife of the clerk at the goods station— believed to be dying. Jesse Ferguson, fireman of the pilot engine—two scalp wounds, and bruises of the face and head and about the legs and body. Elizabeth Banning, of Wokingbam, bruises on the bead, face, and shoulders. Henry Harrison, stoker of the passenger train—frac tured ribs and injuries of the abdomen. Mrs. Skinner, of Hill-grove-street, Bristol— com p oun d fracture of the left leg and wound on the face. Miss Ilarnson of Guildford—injury in the back, an d otherwise bruised. All the above are in the hospital. Charles Sowden, son of Mr. Sowden, wine merchant, Reading (lying at home)—severe laceration and contu sion of the left thigh and a compound fracture of the left thigh. Hopes are entertained of saving the limb. Wm. Graham, driver of the passenger train (lying at home), brnised and cut about the face and head. As will be seen below, an inquiry into the cause of this distressing accident has already been commenced by the coroner. The inquiry, it is probable, will bring out facts not yet known ; but, in the meantime, there can be no difficulty in tracing the immediate cause of the accident to the conduct of Crossley, the unfortunate stoker of the pilot engine. Whether a switchman ought to have been at the place when the engine left the shed may be matter of question, but it is perfectly clear that Crossley him self ought to have seen to the alteration of the points before venturing upon the line. According to the testi mony of Ferguson, the stoker, given before the coroner, the engineer has the power, in the absence of the regular switchman, to order the fireman to alter the points when it is necessary to take out a pilot engine. This power Crossley neglected to exercise, and hence the engine went the down instead of the up line. How he should have persevered in travelling along the down line seems to be wholly unaccountable. It is but just to add that no blame whatever attaches to the driver of the passenger train. As no light was attached to the pilot engine (which was driven back wards), it was impossible it could be seen in a dark night ; and even if seen it would have been too late to prevent the dreadful consequences that happened. THE INQUEST. this occasion Crossley said nothing to me about the points. He merely asked me to jump up, and we went off rather fast. Crossley during our going up the line looked at the fire, and poured out the oil for oiling the engine and tender. I was aware, and so was Crossley, that a train was expected about that time. I cannot at all account for our being on the down line of rails. The lights approaching the down train were not lighted. I believe the signals at the siding going into the engine eked were standing at danger.' They generally stand so when a train is not expected. Some minutes before the concussion took place the cylinder cocks were shut, and we were blowing off steam from the dome. The approaching train could not hear our blowing off steam, and I think our engine could not be seen by them." On the return of the coroner and jury to the public offices, Francis Smith, who acted as guard to the 4.10 train from London, was called, and stated that Wm. Graham had acted as drive r t o th e eng i ne, an d t h at C ross l ey ' s engine was not seen w h en th e concuss i on t oo k p l ace . Benjamin Christer, th e or di nar y s t o k er o f th e eng i ne of which Crossl e y h a d c h arge , gave ev id ence i n identifi cation of the deceased. He state .l further that he was at home at 6 o'clock on the night of the accident, and did not hear of it till 9 o'clock. Instead of sending for him to go with the engine another person was appointed. When the regular stoker was not present, it was the duty of the cleaner to take his place. The duties of a stoker were to look out, the same as the engineman, to take care of the fires, and to light the lamps. The brake was also under his control. The cleaner of an engine was competent to discharge all these duties if he bad been any time on. When a switchman was away from his place the stoker lid his duty if the engineer asked him to do so. At the engine-shed an engine, on leaving it, did not require to cross the up line to get upon the down line. The down line was the first the engine came upon. The ordinary position of the points was such as to send an engine along the down line. If they were not specially set for another purpose an engine would necessarily go along the down line. Previous to leaving the station the driver of the engine on Wednes- day night ought to have had the points altered in order to be taken upon the up line. By a Juryman—The lamps should be trimmed before starting, and not afterwards, and it was usual to do so. Silas Cox, a police-officer, identified several articles found on the person whose name is supposed to be Fran cis Beart, among others a knife with the word "Beart" scratched upon the handle, and a game certificate bear ing the name of Francis Beart. The inquest was then adjourned till Monday at ten. THE MURDER AT CUDHA.II.-COMMIT TAL OF THE ACCUSED. BROMLEY, Thursday Evening.—Shortly after twelve o'clock to-day Robert Palin, charged with the murder of Jane Beagley, at Cudham, on the 25th ult., was brought up for re-examination before Colonel Cator and Mr. J. J. Wells, two of the magistrates for the county of Kent, at the Bell Tavern, in this town. Since his remand, on Thursday last, the prisoner has been con fined in Maidstone Gaol, whence he was brought here this morning, in the custody of Sergeant Handley, of the Kent constabulary, and a strong body of police. There was great excitement in the town, and the justice room wag crowded throughout the proceedings. The prisoner is a mere boy in appearance, though he is stated to be 23 years of age. He is about the middle size, and the expression of his face is exceedingly gentle, and not without a look of intelligence. George Beagley, the husband of the murdered woman, was recalled, and identified the tongs with which the murder was supposed to be committed. _ Eliza Jupp, a young woman, serrant to Mr. Lloyd, of South-street, Cudham, whose house is about a quarter of a mile distant from Beagley's Cottage, said—On the evening previous to the murder, between eight and nine o'c'ock, it being then moonlight, she saw a young man pass along the road in front of her master's house, with a stick in his hand. He was very like the prisoner, but she was not positive that ho was the same man. He was going towards \Vesterham. James Gibson, a carter in the employ of Mr. Christie, of Cuiham, identified a pair of black trousers fauna in the possession of the prisoner when he was taken. He knew them by a button on the back part of them. He (witness) borrowed them of George Beagley, the preced ing witness, a few weeks ago, to go to Sydenham in. There was a button off theta when they were lent to him, and he put one on of a different colour to the rest, and that button he now identified. That was before the murder. He returned the trousers to George Beagley after he bad done with them. _ _ Mr. Edwards, of Keaton, surgeon, described in detail the injuries which had been inflicted upon the deceased. The blows had been chiefly dealt on the head, and had been inflicted with a blunt instrument. There was a fracture of the skull, which would callos instantaneous death. There was al.o an incised wound on 64 cheek, which could not have been inflicted with a pair of tongs. Robert Jackson, a labourer at Cudhaw, said he was mowing in a field adjoinin g Beagley's cottage on th e morning of the murder, a n d about 20 minutes past six o'clock he saw a man running across the adjoining field. The prisoner was wonderfully like the man he saw run ning across the field. Superintendent Handley, of the Kent constabulary, said he went to Croydon on Sunday morning, theday after the murder, and about 7 o'clock in the morning, on his way, be met the prisoner in the Godstone and Croydon road. He carried a bundle. .The prisoner, at his request, untied the bundle, which contained a coat, waistcoat, and a pair of trousers. Witness believed the clothes since found in the possession of the prisoner when taken into custody were the same, though he did net look particu larly at them when he met him. Witness asked him where he had come from, and he said from Copthorne, where he bad been staying with his grandmother. Cup thorne was about 18 miles from the spot where witness stopped him. He asked him what time ho left Cop thorne, and he said two o'clock. Witness pulled out his watch and found that he had time to walk the dis tance. Mary Ann Mardon said she resided at Copthorne, in the same house with the grandmother of the prisoner, Sarah Harbour. She had seen the prisoner there, but never since he was transported, some years ago. He did not sleep in witness's house on the night of the murder, nor had he been there at all that night. Inspector Baxtor said when be charged the prisoner on his apprehensio❑ with the wilful murder of Jane Beag ley, he replied that he thought he had heard the name of Beagley before. Witness then gave him the usual cau tion, and after that he made no other observations. Last Thursday, after his examination, the prisoner told wit• ness at the police station that he slept at a public-house in the Gudatone-road called the Bell on the night of the murder ; that he was there from 9 o'clock at night till between 8 and 9 in the morning ; and that the landlady had cooked Lim a steak for breakfast. Ross Turner, 16 years of age, the potboy of the Bell, Oxted, recollected the evening of Aug. 24. He was about the house all that evening. The prisoner did not sleep there that night, nor did he see him there that evening at all. Witness cooked a steak for a man on the Satur day morning in the tap of the Bell, but he could not say that the prisoner was the man. Susan Cockerell, wife of Robert Cockerell, the land lord of the Bell Inn, gave similar evidence. W. King, a police sergeant, said, hot Thursday the prisoner made a statement to him to the effect, that if he went down to the other side of Tat-field he would see a public-house, which was shut up, and which bad a sign post on the opposite side of the road. He added that he had buried 3/. near the sign-post there before he was transported, and that he had come up from Gloucester shire to get it, Witness asked. him where he slept on the night of the 24th of August, and he said at the Bell. Police -constable Johnson, who first took the prisoner into custody in Gloucestershire, made a statement in ad dition to hie former evidence, to the effect that on Wed nesday morning the s'h of Sep ember, after the prisoner had dressed himself, and the waistcoat, trousers, and coat identified as bel .aging to the Beagleys, weie lying in the room, he asked the prisoner whose clothes they were, and he said they were bis ; that he told the pri soner they were the clothes of the Beagleys, and that the prisoner said he bought them of a man. Witness asked him what man, and he replied the man whom he n t-4 v uP T r Peh signed, e t P hre depositionsi e ds o e tn l h o e t r a h P n e oo d s he te e htnwhweaeaardSnseuwwnthhadeesannyl committed o t r m h o e the d i pr n no g oil invtc f goe o e : mm w ata o h nna dei the eth, Maidstone stopped apputere ditsuho oanhim.soethose f a o n r d tral at the next assizes for the county. .'s At 3 o'clock Mr. Blandy, the coroner, and a jury, m e t in the large room of the public offices at Reading, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances con netted with this unhappy accident. Captain Barlow general manager of the London and South-E as t ern Rail way, attended on behalf of that company, and intimated to the coroner that everything would be done on the part of the directors to promote the object of the in quiry, as they were anxious that the fullest investigation should take place. The Coroner said, the jury had been called together to inquire into the causes of the deplorable accident that had taken place in their neighbourhood, and which had created so deep a sensation in the public mind. He pro posed that, in the first instance, they should proceed to view the bodies of the unfortunate persons who had been killed, and that he should take the statement of Jesse Ferguson, the man who acted as stoker on the pilot en gine, and who was lying at the hospital. He believed ----___ that, in consequence of the condition in which Ferguson The sittings of the court for the Septeamtbtebreegannetirda.l was, it was not desi ra bl e that the jury should be p resen t sess i on s were r esumed yesterday morning, at the examination ; but he would of course su b m it it s; li ti a g l s i, ist W an es t li d n g st e e ) r ; i‘bierf.orwe Mithra.ntdaknidn a(prbeesnicleibngofforaratghies contents to them after w ards.

John Marshall, 54, a respectably-dressed man, de scribed as a clerk, was indicted for stealing a quantity of Sevres china, &c., value 1501., the property of John Harbottle. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Met calfe for the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Parry said he was instructed to say that this was not the first transaction of the kind the prisoner had been engaged in. He had done the same thing in Ber mondsey. The prisoner positively denied this. Mr. Bodkin said be was sure that those who instructed Mr. Parry to make that statement would not do so with out some ground, and, as it was denied by the prisoner, he should defer passing sentence, so that inquiry might be made. Charles Cooper Cleutte, dragoon, was indicted for hav ing embezzled three sums of mousy, amounting to nearly 401., which he had received and on account of Thomas Russell and others, his masters. Mr. Metcalfe was instructed on behalf of the prisoner. The prosecutors were woollendrapers in St. Martin's lane, and the prisoner had been their traveller, in which capacity he received the sums mentioned. He was dis chatged in June, and he then enlisted for a soldier. Con siderable deficiency was found in his accounts, and infor mation was given to the police, in consequence of which Sergeant Lockyer of the detective police proceeded to the cavalry barracks at Ddndalk, whither the prisoner had been sent, and there took him into custody. Sentenced to nine months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE.—Edward Pipe, a middle-aged man of respectable appearance, was charged with embezzling the sum of 251., and another sum of 1/. 10s. Mr. G. W. Nugent, upholsterer and house agent, Nos. 14 and 20, Upper• Berkeley-street East, said that in the month of May last ha engaged the prisoner as his clerk, and he remained in his employment several weeks. It was his duty to receive money on prosecutor's account, and to pay all that he received over to him. He had a salary of a guinea and a half a week. Mr. Long—Have you any reason to believe that he bas received any money which he has not paid over to you? Prosecutor—Yes, sir. There is a sum of 251. which was paid to him by Mrs. Boothby, No. 1, Clarendon place, Hyde-park-square. There is also another sum of N. 10s. which he had received from the Countess of Cla rendon: There are other sums which I have reason to believe be has received. The coachman of Mrs. Boothby will produce the receipt given by the prisoner. lam agent to Mrs. Spurling, Grove-house, Tunbridge, who is the owner of part of the Hyde-park estate. The pri soner wrote to that lady, stating that the money had been paid by Mrs. Boothby. (The letter and receipt were produced, and were both proved to have been writ ten by the prisoner.) James Shaw, coachman to Mrs. Boothby, said that the previous day he was applied to for the receipt by Mr. Nugent, and that he took it out of the desk of the butler, who paid the money. Mrs. Boothby was in Scotland. Charles Roberts, 107 D, stated that he took the pri soner into custody the previous evening, and that on being told the offence with which he was charged, he observed, "It cannot be helped," and that it was " a had job." The prisoner was remanded, bail being taken, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each. CLERKENWELL.—The Rev. Mr. Marvell, of Uppingham, Rutland, applied for advice and assistance under the following extraordinary circumstances. The reverend gentleman said that on Tuesday night last be arrived at Euston square station. It was half pa , t 10 o'clock, and being excessively fatigued he proceeded to a coffee-house kept by a Mr. John Ashdowne, 34, Seymour-street, Euston-square, for the purpose of re freshment and a bed. Ile was informed that he could have a bed in a double-bedded room for ls., and in a single-bedded room for is. 6d. He preferred the latter, and retired to rest ; but although so tired, he was awakened after be had been in bed about two hours by the biting of vermin, and he could get no rest. He got up, and requested to be shown into another apartment, which was done. On the following morning Mr. Ash downe charged him for two beds, which he objected to pay ; whereupon Mr. Aghdowne assaulted him, and de tained his carret bag, by which he had been put to great inconvenience Mr. Tyrwhitt issued a summons for the assault, which was served immediately, and Mr. Ashdowne made his appearance, but the evidence not being sufficient to prove an assault, the cause was dismissed, and the de fendant departed, taking with him the carpet bag. The rev, gentleman shortly afterwards returned to the court, and said he had been to Mr. Ashdowne's house, willing to make some payment, in order to get back his carpet bag, but Mr. Ashdowne demanded 33. more, in a peremptory manner, at which he felt indig nant, and he now applied to have a summons for ille gally detaining the carpet bag. Mr. Tyrwhitt instantly granted the summons, and ordered it to be immediately served. Just before Mr. Tyrwhitt left his seat Mr. Ashdowne again attended as a defendant. The Rev. Mr. Marvell reiterated his former evidence. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l have no reason to disbelieve the rev, gentleman's evidence. No one can doubt that be was bitten. He certainly must be the best judge of that fact. Defendant—l deny that he was bitten. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it had been decided that no con tract was binding if a houe was infested by bugs. He ordered defendant to deliver up the carpet-bag, on pay ment of 2s. 6d. Defendant left the court grumbling. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES.—WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAU PARTICULARS. This being the " St. Leger Day," large numbers of persons began to arrive at Doncaster early in the fore noon, and by mid-day the town was thronged by thou sands of eager visitors, anxious to witness the exciting contest for the St. Leger Stakes. The number of horse boxes and stalls engaged was larger than usual, the course was in good condition, and every exertion had been used to render the arrangements complete and worthy a great meeting like the one of Doncaster. The west end of the grand stand had been re-arranged, and was appropriated to the use of the stewards and their friends • and the Electri c T e l egrap h C ompany h a d erecte d a new Office adjoining the nobleman's stand. The bet ting rooms in High -street were crowded, and the roads to the course were thronged by thousands of pedestrians and!rnany vehicles, and they raised a dust that was any thing but pleasant. The day was beautifully fine—spe cial trains arrived from Manchester, Sheffield, &c., and the grand stand was crowded witls a fashionable com pany, among whom were a tolerable sprinkling of ladies. The card of the day contained seven events, the first being fixed for half-past one, and shortly afterwards the following came to the post for The Municipal Stakes of 200 soya each, It ft, for two-yr old colts, Bst 71b, fillies Bst 41b.

They got off at the first ttttempt, Lady Tatton cutting out the work, Saucebox lying second, Rotherham third, and the others in close attendance, with the exception of the Clementina colt, who lost three or four lengths at start. When passing the Red House Lady Tatton still held a strong lead, and Capucine and Oulston had crept up, the latter then holding third place, and all close. For a quarter of a mile it was exceedingly difficult to select the horse' that had the best chance of success. At the distance, Saucebox, who 'had gradually improved - his position . ; came up to Lady Tatton; Rifleman also joined issue, and then looked like a winner ; and from this point the race lay with the three • but Saucebox won easily by three-quar ters of a length, Rifleman defeating Lady Tatton for second place by half a length. Herald, we believe, was fourth, with Rotherham well up. Oul , ton was beaten off, and Grammlus Esuriens was last.

MICHAEL, Acting Registrar of Bank Returns, Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Sept. 8, 1855. [AnveerisextexT.]—lt is ever a pleasing duty of a journalist to introduce to his readers some new discovery calculated < o benefit that vast portion of our fellow-creatures which has the strongest claims upon our sympathies. It is with this feeling that we call the attention of invalids to the following extracts from T)u.Barry's interesting report of cures without medicine of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency, Constipation, Nervous, Bilious, and Liver Complaints, Cough, Asthma, Consumption and Debility, by Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food :—Cure No. 52 4 22 . - -Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854.—1 have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spit ting of blood, liver derangement, deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, and during that period Laken so much medicine that I can safely say I have Lid out upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was in utter despair and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough t become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restoredme to a state of health I long since despair. ed of attaining. My lungs, liver, stdmach, head, and ears are all right, my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaintances.—JAMES ROBERTS, Wood Merchant. — In canisters, 11b. 2s. 9d.; 21b. 4s. 6d.; Mb.
