N that as they were crossing the points the engine went on one line, and the tender on the other, which threw tl.e tender off the line. I cannot say how this happened, for the points had always worked properly before, There was no man there then, for the points being self-acting points, it was not necessary to have a man stationed there. Trains had passed over them two or ' three times that day. I have known the points to stick sometimes in winter and bad weather, but never to get wrong before in such weather as it was yester day. The man had oiled them on the day before in my presence. The engine and tender stuck fast, and we could not move them. I ran into the yard, and called the labourers and engine-:nen to assist, but we were unable to move them, as it required jacks and levers to get the tender on the line. Kearsley (an engineer, amongst those who came up), when he saw what I:ad occurred, told me to go off to Beeston, to stop any trains that might be coming down, because 1 -. . e said they should have to go on the down line with the next train. That was about two o'clock, and a train had to start at a quarter-past two. I immediately set off, and ran as hard as I could towards Beeston, but Kearsley's train caught me about 300 yards below the stati on , an d p asse d me th ere. I called to the engine as it passed, and could hear the whistle blowing behind me before they caught me. I kept running on as fast as I could, and when I got to the station, the train had got on the right line, and had gone forward. The station-master at Beeston was there, and I said to him, " Turn the red board up de line, until you see a train coming up. We have gat a train off at the bottom end, and one line is blocked up." The person who was with him went and turned the signal directly. I waited about there until three o'clock, exactly at which hour a train from Derby came down. The train stopped on seeing the signal. Mr. Lightfoot said, " You and I will go down by this train to Nottingham." I said, "We had better wa't until the train from Nottingham comes up, it may come on this line." He said, "Oh no, i t will come up on the right line; John Kearsley's there, and he will see all is right." The CORONER—Stop, I shall 120 t put that down.

Old broad Meet, London, Nov. 13,1844. THOMAS HARVEY, Sec. ORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. TO JAMES BRYDEN, Esq., LONDON, SE CRETARY to the PROMOTERS of the GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY from DUBLIN to GALWAY. Sir,—The interest which I feel in the construction of a Railway to the West of Ireland, induces me to ask you for an answer to the following questions, in order to enable myself and others to judge who are the parties most likely to accomplish this desirable object, and therefore most deserving of public support. First—Who are the promoters at present forming your Provi. atonal Committee, and upon what number of shares has each mem. bet of the Committee paid the deposit ? Second—What is the whole amount of deposits actually paid on the shares for your Company, and where is such mum now de. posited ? RAILWAY, arri four nity man was )rted At a highly respectable and influential public MEETING of the Inhabitants of Faltnouth and its vicinity, favourable to the construction of a direct Railway to Exeter, held in the Guildhall, Monday, Sept. 16, JAMES BULL, Esq., in the Chair. At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Bodmin and its neighbourhood, convened by the Mayer, on a requisition of the inhabitants, CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY, the following resolutions were unanimously passed : That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the projected coast line of Railway from Fal►nouth to Torpoint, "with a very doubtful passage across the II smoaze, on the lower part of the Tamar," and a distance of a mile and a half from the beach, to join the South Devon line, would be of little comparative advantage if effected, and is highly objectionable, as tending to prevent the formation of a central line of railway, which would alone be beneficial to the county of Cornwall, and that it does not comply with the principles laid down by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade as the basis for all future extensions of railway communication, viz., "The advantages to be obtained, in a national point of view, in completing or extending important lines of railway communication; the amount of local advantages afforded to the towns and districts more immediately affected; the engineer ing circumstances of the line, as far as may be necessary to form a general judgment of the character of the undertaking; the esti mates of cost of construction and of traffic and working expenses so far as may be necessary to judge of the probability of the line being completed and eff►ciently worked;" and by making Plymouth the real terminus of the Railway, must evidently prevent a more western port from reaping the advantages of its position in a corn. mercial point of view. JOHN WARD, Eq., Mayor, in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously carried : That, however much it may be to the private interest of also. ciated companies, or of individuals, to promote the formation of other railways through this county, and whatever may be the plausibility with which such undertakings are urged upon the at. tention of the public, this meeting sees no reason to doubt the cor. rectness of the recorded opinion of the county, that a central or direct line from Exeter to Falmouth is indispensable in a national point of view, and would afford the greatest amount of local ac commodation. rata Third—How many, and which of the persons who have signed the declaration published by you, and dated 11th instant, in favour of your project, have proved their confidence by taking shares in it, and paying the deposits thereon, and what is the aggregate num ber of shares so taken ?

Ted, 'That as affording the best line in a national, local, and engi neering point of ♦iew, the projected Central Railway may be as sured of the sanction of the Board of Trade, and as approved by the landowners through whose property it passes, it is placed beyond the reach of successful opposition in Parliament ; whilst, by run. ning through, or bordering on, and connected with, the principal towns and populous mining districts of the county, it will receive the support of the commercial and mining interest, and by offering, as shown by the estimate of traffic, a profitable investment for money, there is no longer reason to doubt that it will command the requisite capital for carrying it into effect, thus removing the only objection ever urged against a Central Railway, even by the promo. tern of the Southern Line. rpil" Directors of the South Western Railway Company. Fourth—Has any account of the traffic on your line been taken or any calculation made of its amount, and if so, what is the amount of revenue calculated on, distinguishing the amount ex pected to be received for each separate branch of such traffic ? The public have a right to expect a plain and full reply on these points, and If not given at once, I must only infer that they cannot be satisfactorily answered. -11. lish- idealssion, Is.: Schools, Half-Price.

Unexceptionable references wil be given on addressing (post paid) to L. l'., care of Mr. Broadwood, 17, Cadogan-place, Belgrave-square That by a direct line of Railway from Exeter, instead of a coast line by Plymouth, 'by which the Cornwall line will be a mere branch of the South Devon line, there will be a saving of up wards of twenty miles, which is of great importance both as re. garde time and expense, and, in the words of Captain Beaufort, the Hydrographer to the Admiralty, "There can be but little doubt that Falmouth will again have the mails, and, moreover, be come a port of far greater consequence than it has yet been." That, looking to the large and wealthy district on the north of Bodmin, to the increasing importance of the trade at Wadebridge, and to the fact that Padstow (the harbour of which has been lately placed, by Act of Parliament, under the superintendence of Corn. missioners with powers for its improvement) forms the most conve. nient port for embarkation to the south of Ireland, this Meeting trusts that an effort will be made to afford this part of the county a railway in communication with the metropolis, by bringing the main trunk of the Central Line of Railway into immediate con. nection with the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway, and that the Padstow Commissioners and the Directors of the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway will aid in forwarding so desirable a n obj ec t. . .

'ark; Sat., At a highly respectable and influential public MEETING of the inhabitants of Penryn and its vicinity, convened by the Mayor, and held at the Guildhall the 21st day of September, 1844, THOMAL GREY TRENERY, Esq., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously passed : That it is the decided conviction of this Meeting that a Central Railway from Falmouth to Exeter is the only line which combines all the requisites for such a mode of communication through the county of Cornwall, and is also entitled to support, as calculated to restore the packets to Falmouth Harbour, and to afford all those facilities for the transit of passengers and traffic which are required, both in a national and local point wf ♦iew, besides securing to the port of Falmouth all the advantages of its geographical position. That in the opinion of this Meeting the proposed railway to Tor. point, " with," in the words of Captain Moorsom, the engineer, " a very doubtful passage across Hamoase," on the lower part of the Tamar, is highly objectionable, and in no respect calculated to afford that amount of accommodation to the great mass of the population of Cornwall which they require, and none to that of the North of Devon, and by tending inevitably to transfer the , trade and commerce which would be concentrated at the most western port to it: rival Plymouth, would be most detrimental to the in. tercets of this county; and that this Meeting pledges itself to give such South Line its most determined opposition. That a memorial from this Meeting, in favour of the Central Line of Railway, be forwarded to the Board of Trade. That the Members for the county be requested to give their sup. port to the projected Central Line of Railway between Falmouth and Exeter, as being best calculated to promote the public interests of the county, and that the Mayor be requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the county Members. Thomas Cooper, James Howitt, and Jonathan Raven, were examined, and gave evidence very similar to that given at Lenton. Mr. Sibson, house-surgeon, attributed death, which took place before deceased reached the hospital, to internal injuries received by the sudden concussion of the carriages, which caused a doubling or sudden twisting, striking the body against a hard substance, had caused the liver to be nearly divided into two parts. Messrs. Wadsworth and Patchitt appeared on be half of the Directors, and Mr. Campbell for Mr. Lightfoot, superintendent of the railway. The inquiry was continued till a quarter past ten, and then adjourned till Monday, at two o'clock in the afternoon. SARACEN'S HEAD HOTEL, LINCOLN. TOHN STEPHENSON, in announc i ng his tity re tirement from the Saracen's Head, respectflilly returns thanks for the many years' patronage with which he has been favoured, from the nobility, gentry, commercial gentlemen, and the public In gene ral, begging at the same time to recommend to their notice Mr. J. Ileseltine, as his successor, who was his head-waiter seven years, and during the last three years proprietor of the Royal Motel, Hull, feeling confident he will give every attention, and endeavour to add to the comforts of his customers. ,obill That the town of Boc:min being the place at which the assizes, quarter sessions, and all the county meetings are held, requires a rapid and direct means of communication with all parts of Cornwall, and the adjoining county of Devon, as also with the metropolis. That the Members for the borough, be, therefore, requested to co operate in furtherance of the proposed undertaking, as tending to the prosperity of the town and borough, and that the Mayor be re. quested to forward a copy of this resolution to Sir T. S. Spry and J. D.

At a numerous and intlueutial public MEETING of the inhabit. ants of the town and neighbourhood of Penzance, held at the Guild hall, on Friday, the Bth of November, 1844, by requisition, JOHN BATTEN, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, the following resolutions were passed unanimously : That it is thedecided opinion of this Meeting that the Central Railway is the only one calculated to meet the requirements of this town and neighbourhood, and the county in general. , That this Meeting is quite convinced that in a national point of view the Central Line will insure greater facility of intercourse and certainly of communication than any line that. should depend on " the doubtful passage across Hamoaze."

That this Meeting cordially recognises the principles pro. pounded by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade for re. gulating their inquiries into all proposed schemes for the extension of existing:lines of railway, viz.:—" That regard should be had to the advantages to be obtained in a national point of view; to the amount of local advantage afforded to the towns and districts more Immediately affected ; and to the engineering circumstances of the line; and is decidedly of opinion that a central line of railway, in preference to a coast line from Falmouth to Exeter, completely em. braces these important objects. 2. That in a national point of ♦iew it is of the utmost import. ante that the connection of Falmouth harbour with the metropolis and the great manufacturing districts in the north of England and Scotland should be effzeted in the shortest possible space of time, and, therefore, with the view of securing to the country generally, as well as to the county of Cornwall, the full advantage of " the best port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic possessions," as well as to insure the convenience of pissengers, and the cheap transmission of merchandise, a central line of ►ailway from Falmouth to Exeter is pre-eminently entitled to the support of Cornishmen. 3. That in addition to affording the greatest accommodation to the greatest number, it is especially essential, in a local point of view, that a railway should secure the quickest and cheapest means of transit, not only to the London markets, but to those of the midland and northern districts, of those early and rare vegeta. bles and fruits for which the western part of Cornwall is so cele brated, and which would form so considerable a portion of traffic, as well as to ensure to our fishermen a profitable sale of that inimitable supply of the finest fish with which our coasts abound, and that a central line of railway can best effect those objects. 4. That, from the report of the Committee appointed at a county meeting convened by the High Sheriff, for the purpose of obtaining information as to the feasibility of constructing a railway through Cornwall to Exeter, it appears that a survey of the central line was made in 1840-41, by Captain Moorsom, C. E., in which he stater, " That a Central Line combines the greatest amount of accom. modation, both local and general, with the least drawback in respect to the works involved and the expense incurred in construction and working." 5. That from the said report it also appears that, from traffic returns actually made and carefully revised, such line would, after deducting 40 per ce►►t for working charges, yield a profit to the Shareholders of upwards of .71. rer cent. ; whereas it appears, from the prospectus of the projectors of the Plymouth and Falmouth Railway, that the estimated returns on the capital will be only " 61. per cent, and upwards," thereby clearly proving that, even as a speculation with a view to profitable investment only, the Central Line is best entitled to public support ; and that there are good grounds for believing that, if the Central Line to Exeter be properly brought before the country, it will at once obtain the sup. port of Cornishmen and capitalists generally. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a public MEETING, convened by the Mayor, on a requisi. lion signed by 160 inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity, held in the Guildhall, on Saturday, the litth of October, STEPHEN I3ROUGHAM, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, :he following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : That, from the the time that a Railway through Cornwall was first contemplated, a central or direct line from Exeter to Falmouth has ever been deemed the most advantageous, both in a national and local point of view, and from the report of Captain Moorsom, C.E., made in 1841, to the Committee appointed by a county meeting, it appears is that course which, with the least practical objection in its features, whether in construction or in reference to subsequent working, gives the greatest amount of accommodation to the county of Cornwall. That it is the decided conviction of this meeting that the pro. posed Railroad from Exeter to Falmouth. via Plymouth, would, !tom the acknowledged difficulties of its construction, the loss of time in effecting " a very doubtful passage across the Hamoaze, on the lower part of the river Tamar," and the expenses of travelling a distance of twenty miles more than by a direct line from Falmouth to Exeter, sacrifice all the advantages possessed by the port of Fal. mouth, from its geographical position, as "the best port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic possessions." That, as the interest of the Right Hon. Lady Bassett, and the Right Hon. Lord Wodehouse, and their respective tenantry, are deeply involved in the construction of the most advantageous line of railway through Cornwall, this meeting respectfully solicits the Right Honourable Lady and the Noble Lord will be pleased to give their support to the Committee for forming the Central Line of Railway from Exeter to Falmouth. That the representatives in Parliament for the county, and those for Penryn and Falmouth and the other boroughs of Cornwall, be also solicited to add their names to the Provisional Committee, for the purpose of securing to Cornwall a line of railway which fully complies with the requirements of the Railwa* Department of the Board of Trade, both as regards the advantages in a national point of view, and the advantages to the towns and districts more imme diately interested.

At a Public MEETING of the inhabitants of Wadebridge and its vicinity, held at the Molesworth Arms Hotel, on Tuesday, the 22d day of October, 1844, EDMUND HAMBLY, Esq., in the Chair, The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : That this meeting is decidedly of opinion that a central line of railway through Cornwall to Exeter would be found greatly to the advantage of the county, and in a public, local, and national point of view, superior to a communication based on a coast line. That by a central line the distance from the western ports of Falmouth and Penzance to the metropolis would be considerably shortened, the difficult and dangerous passage across the Ilamoaze avoided, and the requirements of the county best provided for. That the members of the county and the different boroughs be requested to give their utmost support to the Central Line, and per. mit their names to be added to the Provisional Committee of the Cornwall and Devon Railway. That a memorial be prepared and presented to the Board of Trade, pointing out the superior advantages of the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway, both in a national and local point of view. C ORN WALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY.

That the representatives in Parliament for the eastern division of he county of Cornwall be solicited to support a Central Line, for _he purpose of securing to the county a line of railroad which fully complies with the requirements of the Board of Trade, both as re gards the advantages in a national point el view, the county at large, and this important port in particular. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. At a public MEETING of the inhabitants of Helston, convened by the Mayor on a requisition of the inhabitants, THOMAS ROGERS, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously carried:— That this meeting is deeply impressed with the importance of a Central. pailway, and pledges itself to promote the success of such an undertaking. That this Meeting is satisfied of the superiority of a Central Line, and also that the requisite capital can be easily obtained. • That a memorial from this Meeting in favour of the Central Line be forwarded to the Board of Trade. That it is the opinion of this meeting that Cornishmen should forward the Central Line by applying for shares in the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway Company without delay. That the Mayor be requested to communicate the unanimous opinion of this Meeting in favour of a Central Line to the Member for this borough, with an urgent request that he promote the un. dertaking, and allow his name to appear in the list of Provisional Committee. That the M em b ers for the County be urgently mote the Centr a l R a il way, requested to pro. That the Members of the county be requested to promote by every means in their power, the Central Line, which is of such essential importance to the welfare of this county.

At a public MEETING held at St. Columb, on Wednesday, the 23d of October, 1844, HUMPHRY WILLYAMS, Esq., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : That the statement which has been made by Mr. Tilly to this meeting has fully satisfied it of the feasibility and superior advantage of a Central Line of Railway through the county of Cornwall, in a national and provincial point of view. That this meeting will promote a Central Railway by every means in its power, and call particularly on the members for the county to give it their best support in the House of Commons. riORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL J RAILWAY. At a numerous and highly respectable public MEETING of the inhabitants of the Borough of Truro, held at the Town-hall, on Monday, the 28th of October, 1844, NICHOLAS F. BASSI:I7, Esq., the Mayor, in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously passed That ihis meeting is convinced of the perfect practicability of the Central Line of Railway through Cornwall and Devon, and of its great superiority over the proposed Coast Line from Plymouth to Falmouth, both in a national and local point of view. That a railway with a single line, interrupted by "the very doubtful passage across the Hamoazo," is wholly unfitted to the wants and requirements of this county. That the following memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of the Central Line be adopted by this meeting, arid that the Mayor sign the same on behalf of th e mee ti ng; an d t h at h this Borough be reque s t e d t o present t h e same ttboeerte Members Boardhgeuestedto f o o f r Trade, and to give their strenuous support to the prayer of the memorial; and that a petition to. the House of Commons in favour of the Central Line, assimilated to the memorial, be prepared and taken from house to house for signatUre, and that the Members for the borough be requested to present the same at the proper time, and to support it i n th e H ouse o f Commons. To the Honourable the Commissioners of the Railway Depart. ment of the Board of Trade. My Lord and Gentlemen,—Your memorialists, the inhabitants of the borough of Truro, in the county of Cornwall, in public meet ing assembled, in the Town-hall, on the 28th day of October, 1844, respectfully show forth to your Hon. Board— " That it has been proposed to construct a line of railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, passing along the southern district of this county, and arriving at Plymouth by a passage across the Hamoize from Torpoi nt. " That it has also been proposed to construct a line of Railway frem Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance. passing through the centre of the counties of Devon and Cornwall, at about an equal distance from either sea coast. " That by the C en t ra l Li ne the distance of twenty miles would be saved betw een E xeter and Falmouth, no engineering obstacle exists on th e li ne, the land is of comparatively little value, the central highlands of b o th count i es are much less b ro k en or i n . tersected by deep v a ll eys t h an where the sea coast i s approac h ed, as on the proposed Southern line ; the cost of construction will be moderate, and owing to the superiority of the gradients the working expenses will be proportionably less than on the proposed Southern Line; the prospects of traffic accruing from the population of both counties, northward and southward of the line, are much greater than by a Southern line, as the Central line would accommodate in Cornwall alone, out of a population of 341,000, about 325,000 in a greater degree than the proposed South line; whereas, if the latter line were adopted, 16,000 only would be accommodated in a greater degree than by the Central line) and in regard to Devon, the benefit of the Central line would be extended to a population of 60,000, within six miles on each side of that line. " Another advantage which would result not only to Govern ment but to the commercial community, by the adoption of the Central line, would be its adaptation to the e'ectro.telegraph, which might be made the medium of instant communication be. tween the port of Falmouth and the metropolis. " That the Central line is proposed to be a double line, and to be worked by locomotive engines; whereas the Southern line is to be a: single line, and to be constructed on the at. mospheric principle. " Wherefore your memorialists pray your Honourable Board to report in favour of the Central Line of Railway from Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance, whenever the competing lines shall be presented to your consideration," That this Meeting will support the Central line by every means in its power, and earnestly solicits the Members for the county of Cornwall, and for this borough, to place their names on the Pro. visional Committee, and to give the Central Line their undivided support in Parliament and elsewhere. Edmund Turner, Esq., Kr., stated his determination to sup. port the Central line by every means in his power, and requested his name to be placed on the Provisional Committee. CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY. Exeter, Nov. 2, 1844.—At a public MEETING of the inha. bitants of this city and neighbourhood, held this day, in compliance with a requisition most numerously and respectaLly signed, The Right Worshipful the MAYOR in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : That the city of Exeter and its neighbourhood, from its popula. tion and geographical position, is entitled to the advantages of the railway systten on a more extended scale than it at present enjoys ; and that this meeting considers that the construction of a direct line of railway from London through Yeovil to Exeter, and its con. tinuation through the centre of Devon and Cornwall to Falmouth, would be an undertaking of great national importance, and highW advantageous to this city, and especially entitled to the support of all who feel interested in its prosperity. That this Meeting regards most favourably the construction of a railway to Barnstaple, through Crediton, which will open a corn. munication between the North of Devon and the various lines of railway which may be concentrated at Exeter. That this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to promote and carry out the objects e the foregoing resolutions.

We regard the work before us, "` The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of corn. plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victirn of p ast f o ll y, or suffer. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage stale, cannot fali to recommend it to a careful perusai."—Era.

A SIDE.-OR Wednes day, the match between a bald-faced horse, the property of Mr. Granger, of Tooting, and a brown mare belong ing to Mr. Skinner, of London, came off over two mea sured miles of road on Mitcham common. Tho terms of the agreement entered into between the owners were, to trot five miles in harness, and either horse breaking out into a gallop, to be pulled in and turned, and, in case of dispute, to be governed by the rules of trotting. Um pires were chosen, and the horses harnessed to match carts, brought to the starting mark, and from the en feebled and groggy appearance of the mare, the horse was in favour of betting at 6 to 4. At the start the horse took the lead and performed the first mile in three minutes, and being two hundred yards in advance of the mare; at the completion of three miles, which occupied ten minutes, the quadruped competitors were neck and neck; at the fourth mile the mare turned first, appearing competent to her task, and much to the surprise of the spectators, won the match, beating the horse by 150 yards. The five miles of road were trotted by the winner in eighteen minutes. The trotters were ably driven by their owners, and throughout the match neither broke. A good deal of money, was speculated, and the backers of th• mare were great winners. DR ADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. FURTHER PARTICULARS. (From a Second Edition of the Nottingham JourniL) LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED. Mr. D, an, Hounds'-gate, dead. Mr. John Neep, of middle age, of Retford, lies at the General Hospital, but hopes are entertained of his re covery. The extent of injury cannot at present be as certained, and besides being sadly bruised, it is feared some of his ribs are broken. r George Burley, about thirty years of age, stoker, seriously scalded and burnt, the fire and boiling water having fallen upon him from the engine, when forced upwards by the collision. We understand he was on the engine coming from Derby. Mr. John Bowlestridge, landlord of the Three Horse Shoes, Derby-road, and Miss Ann Gretton, of Dove Cliff, Staffordshire, were conveyed to the Three Horse Shoes, Derby-road. This young lady had been on a visit to Mr. Bowlestridge's, and was returning with her father, who is manager of some iron works at Stoke cliff ; all three were much bruised, but whether any bones were broken could not be told at the time we made our inquiries. The above parties were conveyed in a cart to the General Hospital and the Three Horse Shoes. LENTON. The following persons lie at Mr. Pick's, the Wheat Sheaf Inn : Mr. Gretton, Burton-on-Trent, severely crushed. Mr. Bradley, Southwell, farmer, leg broken. (At Mr. Lee's, gardener.) Mr. Varnalls, formerly butler at Colwick-hall, dead. The distressing news of his death was instantly dis patched to Mrs. Varnall's, who is housekeeper at Mr. Strutt's, Derby. BEESTON. Mr. Arnold, medical instrument-maker, seriously hurt. ;At Mr. Andrew's, Victoria Tavern.) Mr. Garrott, surgeon of London, extensively injured. ;At the same place.) Robert Thornhill, lace-manufacturer, slightly crushed. :At home.) David Fox, employed at Mr. Gill's silk-mill, arm broken. (At home.) Misses Ana and Maria Lewis, of Sneinton (seriously hurt), owing to the violence of the concussion, were thrown out of the carriage, and their dresses becoming entangled, they were nearly stripped. One of them had actually the sole of her shoe torn off. We regret to say that the conduct of the inhabitants of the village was characterised by anything rather than humanity ; the Misses Lewis, who were close to the un fortunate Mr. Dean in the railway carriage, were per mitted to remain in almost a state of nudity in a field for upwards of an hour before they were removed. At length they were taken in a baker's cart to Mr. Ham mond's, to whom they were paying a visit, and were afterwards conveyed to their home. Mr. Dean was also treated with similar neglect. Mr. Robinson, traveller—very much bruised. Mr. Thistlewood, of Lincoln—ditto. Mr. Nixon, Hounds'-gate—ditto, and tooth broken out. Mr. George Baker, Woolpack-lane—slightly bruised. Mr. John Wildey, Pelham -street—bruised. Mr. Tutin, sen., butcher, Nottingham—bruised. Miss Surplice, of Beeston, escaped injury by leaping out of the carriage. Mrs. Dean, sister-in-law to the deceased, and landlady of the Castle and Falcon, Nottingham, with her little daughter, was also severely bruised and crushed. The conduct of Mr. Lightfoot has not escaped censure, but it would be unjust to subject him to any animad versions until some more tangible data than mere rumour can be procured. The inquest will be held to-day. Another accident occurred on the same day, betwixt Leicester and Rugby. Two statements have reached us, but the one most generally credited is, that a luggage train could not get along, in consequence of the slippery state of the rails ; that the guard or stoker got off to scatter sand upon the rails, and that another train over took them, but was not observed, in consequence of the dense fog, and the poor fellow's brains were dashed out. These events have caused great excitement. INQUEST ON ONE OF THE BODIES. At eleven o'clock, on Friday morning, the coroner, Mr. Swann, and a jury, held an inquest on the body of William Varnalls, at the Three Wheat Sheaves, Old Lenton. William Gell identified the body. Thomas Cooper, of New Lepton, lace-maker, said, was at Beeston station at half-past two o'clock, in tending to come to Nottingham by the Derby train. The Derby train being delayed, I was standing at the Beeston station, and saw a train coming from Nottingham upon the down-line instead of the up line. That was the line nearest Beeston; I saw Mr. Lightfoot upon the tender of that lot of carriages. They whistled very much coming up. I saw it go past, and they shouted to a buy (Tom) to turn the point just above the station, so as to place them on the right line. Mr. Lightfoot there got off, and came back to the station-house ; he went into a little room, began to talk to a policeman, and I over heard Mr. Lightfoot say, that there was a tender off the line, and that was the reason they came on the down-line, and he had come to stop the Derby train. After they had been talking some time, the policeman fetched a red flag and gave it to the boy, and said, " Go full half a mile up the Derby line." In about ten minutes, the Derby train came down at a slow pace, as I thought, in consequence of the flag; it stopped at the station some time. Whilst the Derby train was standing, I saw a policeman running up the centre of the road as if he had come from Nottingham, and I heard him say to Mr. Light foot, " If I were you, I wouldn't start the train yet." This I heard him say above once or twice.—(The witness here minutely described the policeman, who was called into the room, and stated that his name was James Howitt.)—ln five or ten minutes after that, I heard Mr. Lightfoot say, " I think they have had time enough to get the tender off." Mr. Light foot then came out of the little room, and mounted the tender. I should have gone down by that train, but I was alarmed after what Howitt had said, and determined not to go. This I state upon my oath. I was very near Mr. Lightfoot when he got upon the tender, and I heard him tell the engine driver to go at a slow speed. The train then started at a slow pace. I stopped at Beeston station, and in a short time (it might be a couple of minutes) I heard a loud crash. I was listening to hear whether all was safe. There was a very thick fog, and I could not see the trains, nor half way to them. I thought there had been an accident on the line. I and two or three other persons ran down the line to see what was the matter. Before I could see the train I met the guard of the down-train running towards Beeston.— (Joseph Coleburn was then called, and identified by the witness. Coleburn is an engineer, who occasionally acts as guard, and was doing so on this particular occasion.) I said to him, "Is there as an accident ?" He raised up his hands and said, "Oh, yes, there is a serious accident, but I havn't seen what!" I ran forward, and he went on to Beeston. I came up to the trains ; they were, I should say, about three quarters of a mile:or a mile from Beeston. I saw two trains, both upon the same line, crushed into one another. Some of the passengers were still in the carriages, and I saw some lying on the ground, as if hurt. I saw some men car rying Mr. Dean into an adjoining field, and as sisted in lifting him into a cart. I also saw a stout elderly man in the same field as Mr. Dean ; he was bleeding very much from his head, or his eyes, or his ears. I saw nothing the matter with his leg. I helped to lift him into the cart, and he complained of his chest. lie said, " I feel very tizzy ; for God's sake, let me lie down." I never saw that his leg was broken after he had been placed in the cart. There was lane other person in the cart before the deceased. Mr. Dean was also lifted into the cart. Ile was alive, but I said to Stanton, " George, you may depend upon it, Mr. Dean is dying." I saw no more put into the cart, and I don't know who drove it away. I then went back to see if any other person. wanted assistance. I helped Mrs. Dean, (Mr Dean's brother's wife) to Beeston ; she was hurt, but not so much so as to be unable:to walk with my as sistance. I saw several other persons injured ; I shouldthink ten or twelve. I did not return again to the train. The engines and carriages were very much shattered, but I cannot give any description of the damage. I know none of them. William Murden, of Old Lenton, labourer, said, at the time of the accident I was working in Mr. Cheetham's field, which adjoins the railway, and I had a horse and cart there. I heard the crash, and immediately I and Mr. Cheethain, who was the only person with me, ran to see what was the matter. I saw two trains on the same line, and they appeared to have met each other. When I first saw them they had run one i n t o th e o th er ; one or two o f t h e carriages were broken. By a Juryman—l recollect no whistling; I was taking no notice. I was about a hundred yards distant from the rails, and could have seen the trains except on account of the fog. I did not see any engineer that was wounded. James Howitt, lodge-keeper at the Wilford-gate, said that a train arrived at Nottingham from Derby ,at a little before two o'clock in the afternoon of the same d a y, with coals and passengers. It left the latter in the station-3ard, and came back with jtshteacboots again, on the departing li ne , t o the pcoiNts u my gate, to cross, in order to come in on the arrival rag, rot too WWII the coals into the coal line. I saw On Saturday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Du Burgh Arms Tavern, West Drayton, on the bodies of Samuel Brooks and 'William Tuck well, two labourers in the employ of the Great 'Western Railway Company, who were killed near the West Drayton station on the morning of Thursday last. George Inglis deposed that he was an engine-driver, in the employ of the Great 'Western Railway Com pany. On the mor n i ng o f Th urs d ay last he left the Paddington terminus with the Bellona engine and train, which was the eight o'clock train from Pad dington. He was not aware of the accident at the time of its occurrence, but discovered it when he reached Slough, by seeing blood on the guard iron of the wheels. After witness arrived at the Swindon station, he, for the first time, learned the extent of the accident. The journey was foggy throughout. Witness's train had no lights. When witness was close to the West Drayton station he sounded the whistle, which it was customary for hint to do. That was when he was twenty or thirty yards distant from the station. Witness had sounded the whistle full a hundred times between Paddington and West Drayton. The fog was so dense that he was quite close to the station before he could see that the signal was right, and the policeman's arm up. Witness's train did not stop at West Drayton. It was a quick train. Did not notice any labourers on the line that morning, nor any getting out of the way. Patrick Hearn, a labourer on the railway, deposed that he was at the West Drayton station when the accident happened. He heard of it about eight or nine minutes afterwards. He immediately hastened to the spot, and found the body of Samuel Brooks about. 140 yards from the spot where the occurrence took place, lying on the middle of the line. Ilia body was knocked to pieces, and the head was bat tered. The two men had not left witness five minutes before. IVitnees was not on the line when the trains passed. Benjamin White deposed that he was stoker to the Bellona engine, and was with it on Thursday morn ing. It was very foggy, and the whistle was blown about every quarter of a mile. The engine -driver also whistled about ten yards from the bridge, and again as soon as they had passed West Drayton station. A lengthened and desultory discussion then ensued between the coroner, jury, witnesses, and officers of the Company, as to the best means of preventing the recurrence of such accidents in future. All the wit nesses and the officers of the Company agreed that they were quite satisfied with the present arrange. ments, and said that if the men would not themselves take the necessary precautions by getting off the line earlier, instead of waiting until a train is close to them, all the restrictions in the world would not pre vent such accidents; they could not, therefore, sug gest anything that would be an improvement. The CORONER said, that being the case, that the men who were the most interested in the matter did not see how it could be altered, and could not make any suggestion for its improvement, he did not see that the jury could go advantageously further into the case. It was clearly an accident, arising from the de ceased's negligence and incaution. The jury immediately said they were quite satisfied on that point, and returned a verdict of—Accidental death.
