THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT NOTTINGHAM. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MIL W. VARNALLS. NOTTINGUAM, Nov. 28.—This inquiry was resumed yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, at Lenton, before Mr. Swann, coroner, and the jury. Mr. Patchitt, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the railway company, and Mr. Campbell, solicitor, to watch the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Lightfoot. John Fisher, engine -man of the down train, was about to be examined, when Mr. Greaves objected to Mr. Lightfoot beingpresent while Fisher's evidence was taken. Mr. Blundstone remarked, that he siw no reason for such a step ; adding, that ho had been very sorry to observe, on the part of several of the jury, throughout this investigation, a determination to blame or criminate Mr. Lightfoot as much as they could, which he thought most improper. Two or three other jurors intimated their concurrence in Mr. Blundstone's observations ; Mr. Bayley and Mr. Greaves rose, and an angry discussion seemed likely to take place, but it was stopped by Mr. Campbell (who appeared Lir Mr. Lightfoot) requesting his client to leave the room, whieh he did immediately. Fisher denied seeing any ono speak to Mr. Lightfoot at Beeston station, and that he never heard of a mes sage having been sent from Nottingham to stop any trains. The witness had no rules until the morning previous to the accident. In answer to Mr. Patchitt, witness said he had had sufficient practical experience on the l)crby and Birmingham line to enable him to work the Midland Counties line. Mr. Robert Lightfoot was the next witness, and he made the same sta!ement we have already given. Robert Cross, of Beeston, gardener, heard the acci dent, and was on the spot immediately. Assisted in re moving the injured passengers. Heard Fisher say to Mr. Lightfoot, " If it had not been for you this accident would not have occurred." Mr. Lightfoot made some reply, but witness does not know what it was. At that time Fisher appeared angry, and a good deal agitated. Mr. John Wildey gave similar testimony to that we have already reported. Joseph Coulburne was the last witness examined ; his testimony was similar to that he gave before the Coroner for the town. At eleven o'clock the inquest was adjourned to Mon day next, at half-past nine in the morning, at the County hall.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The adjourned inquest on the body of William Murrowood, the stoker employed by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company, took place at the Navigation Inn, King's Norton, this evening. Mr. E. Moore, the Deputy Coroner for the county of Worcester, presided ; and. Mr. Charles Shaw, one of the Directors of the Company, and Mr. M'Connell, the su perintendent engineer of the Company, were present at the inquiry. The following is the principal evidence:— Mr. J. M'Connell—l am the superintendent of loco motive engines on the Birmingham and Gloucester Rail way, and reside at Bromsgrove. I know nothing of the death of the deceased, but what I have heard in evi dence. I knew him. He was employed by us, and under my direction as superintendent of the locomotive department. He was a very steady young man. I know this particular bridge in question. It carries the high way over the railway to King's Norton. CORONER—How long have you been employed upon this railway?—Three years and four months. CORONER—Did you consider this bridge dangerous ? —I did. CORONER —Why ?—Because I considered there was not sufficient room between the pillars 'and the rails on each side. ConoNEn—Aro there any other bridges similarly situ ated on the line?—No there are no other. NOTICE is hereby given that the ACHILLES LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION has been UNITED with the GREAT BRITAIN MUTUAL LINE ASSURANCE SOCIETT ; and the Holders of Policies effected with the said Achilles Life Assurance Association are hereby requested to pay the renewal Premiums on such Pond,* at the Office of the Great Britain Mutual Life Assurance Society, No. 14, Waterloo-pace, London. CORONER—Can you give us the dimensions ?—The witness, who had previously been to the spot for the purpose of measurement, stated that the height from the railway to the centre or the arch of the bridge was 14 feet 3 inches, the width from one side of the bridge to the other was 22 feet 6 inches, width over rails (one line of train) 5 feet 1 inches, but the witness could not speak as to the distance between the walls on each side, and the train lines ; neither would be give an opinion as to the distance between the carriages and the objectionable pillars ; he thought it might be about 18 inches. The witness said there was a difference of about 2 inches be tween the pillars of the north and south entrance of the bridge, and that the accident occurred where the distance was the widest. E.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The St. Vincent, 120, Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, G.C.8., G.C.H., &c., re heisted his flag (white at the main) on board this noble ship yesterday morning, and Captain R. F. Rowley resumed thn command of her, the Right Hon. the Earl of Hard wicke having returned to town. This morning lighters were towed alongside to take out her powder and lower-deck guns, prior to her coming into harbour, and taking up her old moorings as guard-ship, off Cold harbour, Gosport. The Hornet, 6, Lieutenant-Commander C. Seaver, arrived at Spithead about nine o'clock last evening. She left Port Royal, Jamaica, on the sth of October, called at Bermuda, and thence to Spithead in 20 days. She will go to the eastward to be paid off. She had en countered awful weather from Bermuda home. The Leviathan, convict hulk, is being stripped of all useful stores, preparatory to being moored up the harbour for shell practice from the Excedent. The Falmouth navy lighter sailed yesterday, for Sheerness and Chatham, with stores. DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAY.—A Court-martial, com prising Admiral Sir David Milne, G.C.8., president ; Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, superintendent of the dockyard ; Cart. Milne, of the Caledonia; Capt. Dixon, of the San Josef ; Commander Wriford, of the San Josef ; and Mr. Eastlake, Judge-Advocate, assembled yesterday morning on board the San Josef, in this harbour, to try (as we are informed at his own request) Lieutenant Henry Stokes, of the Tartarus steam surveying vessel, Captain 'Wolfe, on the charge of indecently assaulting a boy, named Terry. of the said ship Tartarus. The details, of course, are entirely unfit for publication. The cross-examination of Terry elicited facts and circumstances tending considerably to shake the testimony he had given previously. His conduct as a boy has been most riotous and improper on several occasions, and it was not difficult to perceive much malicious feeling lurking at the bottom of his accusation, although he swore he had no ill-will towards the pri soner. It was elicited, however, that Lieutenant Stokes, being a very '‘ smart" officer, ho was not liked by the crew, who wished him out of the ship. Terry also ad tnitted having received punishment for neglecting his duty. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, protested his innocence, and believed the charge to be a foul conspiracy to blast his character, because he was strict in the discharge of his duty. Witnesses also proved the bad conduct of Terry, whose propensity for lying was notorious. The surgeon of the Tartarus also proved the absence of appearances of a criminal assault having been committed. The commanding and other officers of the Tartarus also gave Lieutenant Stokes an admirable character for the possession of moral and reli gious principles. The Court being cleared, the members duly deliberated upon the evidence adduced on both sides, and the result communicated on the re-opening of the Court was, " that the charge was fully proved, and that Lieutenant Stokes was sentenced to be dismissed from her Majesty's ship Tartarus." At this announce ment the prisoner seemed transfixed with horror. The Snipe cutter, Lieutenant Raymond, left on Satur day for Cork. The Pen g uin packet, Lieutenant Leslie, came into thi s harbour on Friday to repair defects. The Plymouth buoy-boat arrived from Portsmouth on Saturday. The Tartarus steam surveying -vessel, Captain Wolfe, arrived on Saturday from Cork, and came into harbour on Monday to repair defects. The Caledonia, 120, Captain Milne, has re-hoisted the flag (while at the main) of Admiral Sir David Milne, G.C.8., and resumed the duties of the guard-ship at this port. She fired the daylight and sun-set gun on Monday. The Alban steam transport, Commander Lowe, was paid advance on Monday, and sailed fur Cork yesterday. The Netley tender sailed this day with supernume raries fur the ships fitting out to the eastward. In the Sound—The Caledonia.

IRVINE, Managing Director. EARLY CLOSING OF WARE HOUSES. CoRONER—And what the tender ?-1.50/. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with a deodand of ls. upon the engine. Mr. C. Shaw, one of the Directors of the line, then addressed the jury, and said, on behalf of himself and his colleagues, that they sincerely regretted the loss of life which had occurred through the ill-construction of the bridge in question. It was of Captain W. Moor som's construction, and no other engineer but he would have put such a bridge upon the line. He and other Directors had passed up the line hundreds of times with out being aware of the consequences which might result from its construction ; but he could assure the jury and the public that the Directors were most anxious to give the public satisfaction, and that the bridge should be im mediately altered, and that there should be no further cause of complaint A meeting was held last night, for the purpose of re ceiving the report of a Committee appointed on a former occasion to take such measures as were necessary to pro mote the design of affording to persons employed in warehouses more leisure than they at present possess, for the purposes of moral and intellectual improvement. Mr. BENNOCII having taken the chair, acknowledged at the outset the advantage that had been conferred upon the cause by the public press ; particularly by the dif fusion among the trade of the reports of their former proceedings. The cause, from having been deemed a visionary project, was now recognised as a settled prin ciple. Finding the impossibility (principally owing to the postal arrangements) of closing warehouses at one o'clock on Saturdays, the Committee had decided that the best course would be to recommend the closing at six o'clock every evening, at least from November to August (omitting the hour's vacation for tea), instead of seven, with that relaxation. All the principal firms i❑ the City who had been consulted, had exhibited a favourable disposition towards the proposed scheme. On M,,nday last one eminent house had set the example of closing at six o'clock instead of seven, which had since been partially followed, but which, it was expected, would be universally adopted by the principal wholesale warehouses from Monday next. 'The Chair man then read the report of the Committee, which, after a detailed narrative of the steps taken to promote the object above referred to, contained an appeal to the body of the employed to prove themselves worthy of the boon so honourably granted, and expressed the conviction of the Committee, that in thus offering the means of moral improvement to the few they were indirectly opening channels of good to all. The report was unanimously adopted, having been supported by Mr. Richardson, the principal in a whole sale firm in the City, who bore testimony to the advan tageous results in a pecuniary sense to his firm, as well as in moral effects upon the habits of the people them selves, to-Whom a similar relaxation had been some time ago granted, at his works in Ireland.

It i s stated to be " new and original," but there is not a scene which is not familiar to most play-goers. Here is the plot :—Lieutenant Leslie, RN. (Mr. F. Mathews), has two daughters, Sophy (Mrs. Keeley), .and Alice (Miss Fortescue). The latter is in love with Charles Bradshaw (Mr. Craven), who proceeds to India to mend his fortune. Her hand is sought for by Sq uire Dillon (Mr. F. Vinir.g), a man of wealth and a ass ion so f gambler. his His s n u a i t t u i r s e r e a j r e e c ted rousedb by A ; l a ice. having Allth e lent evil p money to the Lieutenant, who is not in a condition to p a y him, he makes use of the power which this cir cumstance affords to gain the daughter's hand. He has the Lieutenant taken to prison, and puts an exe cution into the house. The daughter consents to sign a contract of marriage for the sake of her father, whom Dillon, on this condition, consents to liberate from prison. The contract is not to be fulfilled till the end of a month. In the meantime, the father of Alice is liberated from prison by Ben Bradshaw (Mr. Keeley), who pays the debt due to Dillon. Leslie finds that all his property has been sold, and that the "Briery," his little cotta ge , h as been taken from him. He becomes insane. At the time appointed by Dillon for the fulfilment of the marriage contract with Alice he does not make his appearance ; but after the month has passed by he makes his appearance, hie person quite altered, and announces that he has been ruined ut the gaming table, and that the police are in pursuit of him for forgery. Villain to the last, however, he insists on the hand of Alice, and requires that she should fly with him. The police, however, are at hand, and he only escapes in consequence of the arrival of Charles Bradshaw, who aids his flight, and gives him money. The family are restored to the " Briery." They " come home" again. The Lieutenant recovers his mind, has his newspaper at breakfast as formerly, and is the centre of a happy group. Dillon, in dis guise, enters with wedding rings for sale. He avows his guilt, and makes the only reparation in his power for all the misery he has caused, by leaving his con tract of marriage with Alice. Such is the plot ; not possessing much novelty certainly. It is moreover much too melodramatic in its character and situations for the style of acting at command to work it out with effect. It was impossible not to feel that the lightness of Mrs. Keeley was quite out of place in the presence of a distracted father. This is surely not natural; and not less so is the cha racter of Dillon, who is possessed of the most despe rate love for Alice, and yet fails to come, at the end of the month, to fulfil his marriage contract. The piece was not, however, unfavourably received ; but how different was the feeling of the house when the Trip to Kissinger', in which the parts are admirably well suited to the actors, provoked the laughter of all. The acting of Mr. Mathews did him great credit. Some of the scenery is extremely well executed. Some other resolutions, in support of the common object were recommended, in appropriate speeches, and some judicious advice having been addressed to the "young men" as to the use to be made of the indulgence thus conferred upon them, with a view, not only to show an adequate sense of the liberality of their employers, but also to turn the concession to their own real advan tage, the resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the meeeting broke up.

The meet was at Mr. Aldridge's farm, near Upton. A fine hate was started, which afforded some sport with a cold scent, until his Royal Highness and party returned home to the Castle for a Privy Council. Later in the afternoon another hare was found in the Chalvey meadows, which, after running two rings, went off most gallantly, straight as an arrow, up to Burnham, where she was run into after a fine run of thirty-five minutes. His Royal High ness's pack is now in first-rate condition, the greatest attention having been paid to th e ir size and b ree d by Major-General IVemyss. 4r ~ •••4--1-1Z Zt-C,--€) ( .. ,Z /( t._.._-,--7, 4 ; _ 7 '6, , e. --c/ ' /,- ‘z ,‘--z , f- ..., . . . , r : - .

The sixth annual meeting of the Hotel and Tavern keepers' Provident Institution, for the relief of neces sitous and aged members, was hell yesterday evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, Alderman John Johnson in the chair. About one hundred gen tlemen were present on the occasion, and the pr... e: d ings of the evening passtd off with great eclat. .No effort was wanting on the part of the proprit.- - tors to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of those who attended, the dinner and wines bearing out the reputation which this establishment has so deservedly obtained. After the cloth had been drawn, the usual loyal and constitutional toasts were given, and received with customary enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " ProlperiV to the Institution." In proposing this toast he observed, that the institution was founded in the year 1839, and in that year the sum of 1,1001. was obtained in support of the object for which it was founded. In the second year of the So ciety's existence that sum had increased to 1,9581.; but in the third year he regretted to say a falling off took place, and from that period until the present time the progress had not teen such as the friends of the institution expected and desired. It was not sufficient for them to meet in that room ; the design of the institution required that they should exert themselves in their several spheres after the convivialities of that evening were concluded.— (Hear, hear.) Every member should endeavour to obtain the co-operation of the friends by vi horn he was surrounded in his own neighbourhood. On look ing over the list of subscribers, he found the names of persons of great wealth, occupying stations in hich they would be enabled, by proper exertion, to secure adequate support for that excellent institution. It was a fundamental rule of the society that they should not commence distributing the funds to their poorer brethren until the sum of five thousand pounds hail been obtained ; and he regretted, that although the institution was then entering upon its sixth year, they were not yet in a condition to carry out its primary object. Was that a state of things which ought to continue ?—(lNrir, hear.) He trusted that their exertions would be such as to gladden the hearts of their poorer brethren, and such a result would, he was convinced, afford permanent satisfaction to their own minds. With these remarks, he begged to propose the toast which he had announced, namely, " Prosperity to the In stitution."—Drank with three times three. Mr. H. POWNALL said, on proposing the health of the President of the day, it was customary to enlarge on the excellent qualities fur which he was con spicuous; but, knowing the feelings of their Presi dent, he should content himself with simply proposing his health ; .only adding that they must all feel deeply indebted to him for consentin g to occupy his present position, and thus evincing the interest which he felt in the prosperity and welfare of the institu tion.— (Cheers.) With regard to the object imme diately before them, he must say that there was no class of the community who deserved more considera tion from their fellow-citizens than those who laboriously toiled to promote the comfort of the pas senger, the traveller, and the sojourner at inns. Every one who left his home to travel in different parts of the country must be struck with the conve nience and comfort provided at an English inn, where so much was done to provide a substitute for the endearing attactions of home ; and those who had experienced this, could not but sytnpathise with the case of those who were left comfortless and dependent in the decline of life. The public expected to find the servants at inns immaculate, and they often became irritable if they did not receive what they considered sufficient attention. To submit to little petty annoy ances was a part of the daily occupation of such per sons. He trusted that that institution would, to a great extent, supply a refuge for those who, at an ad vanced period of life, were unable to pursue their ac customed avocations.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed the health of the contributors to the society, which was drank with enthusiasm. Mr. E. BREWSTER proposed " The Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Institution," which was duly acknowledged. Mr. CLARK (the Mayor of Windsor), as one of the Vice-Presidents, briefly returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Tapster. Mr. TAPSTER briefly returned thanks. The MAYOR of WINDSOR proposed the health of Mr. H. Pownall, who acknowledged the toast. The CHAIRMAN then gave successively the health of the Stewards of the day, which was warmly re sponded to. Mr. LOVEGROVE returned thanks on behalf of the Stewards. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " the Ladies," and in doing so, took occasion to announce a donation of five guineas from Mrs. Johnson, which elicited con siderable applause. The following donations were also announced The Chairman, 10/.105.; Mr. James Hunt, of Syden ham, 101. 10s.; Mr. Cutler, 101. 103.; Mr. H. It. Wood, of Fulham, 10/. 10s. ; Mr. Painter, 10/. les.; ' Mr. Hammond, 101. 10s.; the Licensed Victuallers' Fire and Life Insurance Office, in addition to fifty one guineas, Si. 55.; Mr. E. F.

The festivities of the evening were promoted by vocal performances from Messrs. Jolly, Shoubridge, Bruton, and Smith, and two juvenile performers of great merit. The company dispersed shortly after ten o'clOck. NORTH SHIELDS AND NEWCAS TLE AND BERWICK RAILWAYS. On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the Proprietors of the North Shields Railway was held at the office in Pil grim -street. Matthew Bell, Esq., M.P., presided. He called on Mr. Hodson Hinde, M.P., to address the meet - ing. Mr. 11. Hinde, in moving the first resolution, made a statement of the arrangements entered into by the Pro prietors of the two Companies, the union of which was contemplated. It was to the following effect : That, on the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, or any part of it, for traffic, the Newcastle and Berwick, and the Newcastle and North Shields Railways, shall be amalgamated, and every shareholder in the Newcastle and North Shields Railway shall hold shares to the same amount in the united Company as he pre viously held in the Newcastle and North Shields Com pany, unless he shall exercise the option hereby reserved to him of disposing of his shares, at par, to the united Company. The debts of the Newcastle and North Shields Railway Company shall be considered as the debts of the united Company, such debts being guaranteed not to exceed the sum of 150,0001., and no increase to be made to the present share capital of 150,000/. without the consent of the Newcastle and Berwick Company. The Newcastle and Berwick Company to have the option of calling upon the Newcastle and North Shields Railway Company to amalgamate with them at any time previous to the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, upon guaranteeing a dividend at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum until the opening of such line. The railway, stations, warehouses, and depots, with the working stock of the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, to become the property of the united Company, but the Newcastle and North Shields Railway Company to be at liberty to dispose of it to any party, all or any of their surplus lands and houses, in order to reduce their debt to 150,0001., except as regards the property between the Newcastle Station and Pilgrim-street, which must be offered to the Newcastle and Berwick Company at cost price, before it is offered for sale to any other party. The Newcastle and North Shields Company to apply to Parliament, in the next session, for an Act to form a line from their terminus at North Shields to Tynemouth, and to form a branch from the Conduit Head to New castle. Quay. After the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick line, the united Company shall have guaranteed to them 51. per cent. on the share capital for three years, such gua rantee to be given by the Newcastle and Darlington Railway Company, with the right to the united Company to require the Newcastle and Darlington Company to take a lease in perpetuity on the same terms, at the end of three years. Mr. SPOOR seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A series of resolutions for carrying out the views embodied in the foregoing agreement were then moved and carried. Mr. SPOOR, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. H. Ilinde, offered a high tribute to the exertions aqd talents which he had exhibited in the management of the Com pany's affairs. Mr. JoBLING seconded the motion, the sentiments of which were corroborated by the Chairman. It was cor dially carried. Mr. lIINDs returned thanks. Thanks having been successively voted to the Direc tors and to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. IMPROVEMENT IN THE IRON TRADE.—It will be seen by our Stourbridge police report, that the men in that district, instead of wanting work, have now more than they are inclined to execute. This and similar cases are the result of the improved condition of the iron trade, in every branch of which, with the exception of nailing, the greatest activity prevails ; employment is plentiful, the men are getting better wages, and, conga quen many of them are disposed to do less work, Webelieve ti) there is not an iron work in this district now standing, and the pries for iron, of almost every description, has advanced since the last quarter day, and has still a tendency upwards.-- Worce s t ers hir e ' Chronicle. — DEAI 11 OF PROFESSOR THOMAS END ERSOII.-- We regret to announce the death of Thomas Henderson, Esq., Professor of Practical AstronotPy iu the Uni versity of Edinburgh, which event took place on Satur day morning last.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 15.—A most interesting dis covery has been made in the secret repository of the Equestrian Order, viz., several chests full of docu ments which have not been examined for these thirty years ; among them are original documents concern ing the revolutions of 1719, 1772, and 1789. Most of the documents are written, and some elegantly bound, and several have silver clasps.

A rivalry at present exists among the colonies of Great Britain to forward to the mother country their varied products. The Australian, the Tasmanian, and other colonies, founded on the immense continent of New Holland, now supply the manufacturers of England with wools almost sufficient for our entire consumption. From British Honduras there has recently been imported pre served turtle, specimens of which were yesterday ex hibited to, and tasted by, several connoisseurs in this most important article for civic and other feasts. The best turtles are caught and cured on the spot, at Hon duras. The full flavour of the fish is thus entirely se cured, and the loss of weight, and the laxity of stamina, consequent upon a long voyage and want of proper food, are thus obviated. T o the preseverance of the proprietor of the Honduras Observer (Mr. Gunter), the British public are indebted to the introduction of pure turtle, at a rata that will permit numbers to have a treat not hitherto in their power. TROGLODYTES.—The Paris Globe states that M. Geoffrey de St. Hilaire, in his lectures at the Jardin des Plantes, lately, presented several individuals (not living) of the Pithesian race, known as Troglodytes. From their organisation, form, facial angle, and disposition of the eyes, he observes, they resemble men, and might seem to be negroes reduced to brutes, or the negroes would be but Troglodytes of a superior race. These Troglodytes are found, as their name imports, dwelling in caverns in the forests of Nigritia, or else in huts covered with leaves. The negroes ()all them men of the woods ; but men of science refer them to the monkey class.—Literary Gazette. DEATHS FROM TILE FRINCIFAL DICRASEB LNCLUDED UNDER THE ABON^E HEADS. Total.

The house was not ()illy crowded to excess, but the audience was composed, a great portion of it, of the beauty and fashion of our city. Mr. Anderson has, in fact, drawn large and respectable audiences every night of his engagement, and has made himself decidedly a favourite here. During the perform ance of the Lady of Lyons, so strong was the admiration of the audience towards his fine acting, that several most hearty cheers were given him, a thing which is very un usual in a theatre, and which nothing but a masterly performance can call forth. His Duke Aranza, in the Honeymoon, we cannot remember of ever having seen played better ; in fact, it was one of the most interesting and agreeable evenings that we have spent at the theatre this season. At the close of the performance Mr. An derson was called for, and immediately appearing before the audience, returned thanks for the honour.—Boston Democrat of Nov. 2.
