Nobody can doubt that every invention that performs the labour usually supplied by men is for the moment injurious to the labourers it displaces, but in the long run it leads to the employment of a larger number. Every Improvement temporarily injures a class. The railroads deprived thousands of coachmen, guards, and horse kepoers of employment, but there are now more drivers, conductors, and horse-keepers than ever there were in the good old times of four horse coaches, while there has been tens of thonsands of labourers employed in forming the railroads, and nearly as many permanently employed as porters, police, station-masters, and clerks, to say no thing of the engineers employed constantly in making engines, and afterwards driving them ; in short, it mast be borne in mind that all the millions expended on railroads was spent in labour. The very ironstone in the bowels of the earth, was worthless until raised by Labour, converted into iron by labour, formed into rail, ani wheels, and carriage springs by labour, and all in our own country. Look at the mills and machinery employed in making cloth. The effect was to make cloth better and cheaper than when it was all done by hand, and this very improvement in cloth caused thousands to be employed in making it up. Step into the gigantic establishment of E. MOSES and SON, and youwill see more good clothes than you would expect all London contained. Consider the hundreds that are constantly employed by that firm alone, and its vast importance will at once be apparent. By adopting a system of buying largely, by means of a large capital, and-keeping hundreds of the best hands constantly employed, they have accomplished one of the most important changes that was ever knowa. Adopting besides all this a plan of taking small profits, they have placed every man in a position to command, however limited his income, good clothing appropriate to his situation, while the higher classes may, by paying cash, save Nearly half of the amount which they used to be charged for ordi nary dress, and the more extravagant they are the more they save, whether it be in their own dress or that of their livery servants. The officers in the army, navy, and civil service can save forty per cent. in their outfits, and be better served ; in fact, every article of dress, from the most costly to the most economical, is equally cheap at the price charged, and their warehouses are at this moment heavily stocked with every variety of summer fashion, adapted for all classes, while the facilities they possess enable them to measure and make up any quantity of clothes in an incredibly short time.

The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that can be conferred by Life Assurance. On this Table the Assured is entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance, to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums, Without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by simple endorsement thereon ; or the half Premium may be with held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be returned by the Society. Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health and payment of arrears of Premium without interest. Notices of Assignment of Policies registered and acknowledged, so as to make them available as securities in the hands 01 third parties. No Entrance Fees or any other charge beyond the Policy Stamp.

Capital-500 0007 (Incorporated under 7 and 'S Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amemit of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has net hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the trae Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Ofce will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or flay per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clanse.

INSURANCE AGAINST RAILWAY ACCI DENTS.-GREAT EXHIBITION EXCURSION TRIPS. The Directors of the RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURAtiCE COMPANY have made arrangements for the issue of EXCURSION TICKETS, to cover the risk of the journey both ways, irrespective of distance, in Excursions to or from London. These tickets insure 2001., payable to the executors or next of kin in the event of death, with proportionate compensation in cases of personal injury by rail way accident, at a premium of Twopence, and are available for any class carriage. The Periodical Tickets of this Company cover the risk of Excursion Trips, as well as travelling by the ordinary Passenger Trains, asd insure 1,0001. at an annual premium of 20s. 2001. These tickets are all obtainable at the Company's Offices, 3, Old Broad-street, London ; and the Excursion Tickets will likewise be issued by the Company's Agents in the principal towns throughout the country, where Excursion Trips may be determined on. The distinctive features of this Company are :- 1. It is empowered by special Act of Parliament, 12 and 13 Vic toria, cap. 40. _ . 2. It has a subscribed capital of one million sterling, as a guarantee to the assured. _ _ _ _ _ _ 3. In the premium charged the stamp duty is included, which is paid to Government by the Company. In these respects it is peculiar, and distinguished from any existing Railway Assurance Company. ALEXANDER BEATTIE, Secretary. 3, Old Broad•etreet, April 22, 1851. ONE PAYMENT FOR THE WHOLE OF LI E.

The distinctie feature of this Company consists in the sufficiency of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Assurance for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newa of premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in - personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom. The Directors are now granting assurances upon the following terms, viz. : For every Policy of 100/. 0/. ss. I For every Policy of 1,00 01 . 21 . 2 s. f 5001. 11. ss. „ 2,0001. 41. 4s.

The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi sions to be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1854, will be allowed to share in the profits. At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, the reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one.half the profits amounted, en an average of the different saes, to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared on the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same isnow in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office; and also by the Agents in the Country Districts.

The engine of the passengQr train which left Derby for Leeds at 9 5 P.M. on Monday evening, having broken the pump-rod, near the Clay-cross station, the train stopped, and the driver having taken off the broken part, was in the act of starting, when a goods train came sud denly upon them and broke the two last carriages. Two passengers were killed and many others severely wounded. The inquest was to be held yesterday (Tuesday) at two o'clock: The following are the names of the sufferers: — Mr. Meynell, of Tapton—dead. Mr. Blake, of Sheffield—dead. Mr. Tennent, of the United States—bruised slightly: his wife—fractured thigh. Mr. Allan, of Derby—broken arm. Mr. Bennett, of Chesterfield—knee and leg injured. Mr. Broadbent, of Sheffield—bruised. Mr. Hardcastle, of Sheffield—bruised. Mr. Ashworth, of Sheffield—bruised. Mr. Ward, of the United States—head injured. Mr. Beebe, of the United States—bead injured. Mr. Blacklock, of Dumfries—head injured and leg fractured. Mr. John Todhunter, of Dublin—both legs broken. Mr. Joshua Todhunter, of Dublin—injury to the shoulder blade. Rev. Hathie, of Dublin—ankle and leg severely in jured. was called to the scene of the accident last night, about a quarter past eleven o'clock. A short distance this side of the Clay-cross tunnel I saw the body of Mr. Meynell, which was pointed out to me by one of the porters. The body was lying on the embankment on the right side of the line. He was quite dead. I have since examined his body, and find extensive effusion of blood from both ears, considerable ecchymosis and discolouration of the shoulders, extending to the loins, and very severe com pound fractures of both legs, that of the right extending to the knee-joint. The immediate cause of death was severe concussion of the brain. From the position and appearance of the body he had pitched upon his head. I saw Mr. Blake near where the accident occurred. lie was quite conscious, but had no power of moving the ' lower part of his body or legs! he was very much ex hausted and depressed, and complained of injury to the spine. We had him removed into a van, but he died on his way to Chesterfield. The immediate cause of his death was injury to the brain. By one of tbejury—l cannot say accurately how far the accid3rit occurred from the Clay-cross station, but I should think the bodies were about 100 yards from the station. Mr. Blake was quite sensible, and gave rational answers to the questions I asked. Mr. James Blake, of Sheffield, identified the body of his brother, Mr. John Blake, who, he stated, was 34 they eartimefeof age, th an e d ac sv c a id s e r n e t. turning home from a journey at Mr. Fox, of Chesterfield. Mrs. Meynell, slightly bruised on the head. CLAY-CROSS, TUESDAY MORNING. We regret to state that a most fearful accident oc curred at this place last night, by which the lives of two gentlemen have been sacrificed, and many other persons seriously injured. From personal inquiries made on the spot, and also from information obtained from Mr. Smith, one of the directors, and Mr. Mills, we have learnt the following particulars, which may be relied upon as correct: — It appears that the express train, which starts from London at 5 rat., leaves Derby at 9 5, P.M. About five minutes after the express left the Derby station it was followed by a goods train. The former pursued its rapid course until it had passed the Clay-cross tunnel, when, in consequence of the engine becoming disabled, it was brought to a stand. Meanwhile, the goods train continued its course, and about ten minutes after the ex press train had passed the Clay-cross station it followed at a speed of about twenty miles an hour, and directly afterwards ran with tremendous force into the passenger train, then stationary. A scene of indescribable confu sion ensued, for amidst the crashing of the carriages and the shrill whistle of the locomotives, rose the piercing cry of the affrighted passengers. As soon as possible attention was directed to the sufferers. Mr. J. Meynell, of Tapton-grove, near Chesterfield—an active and intel ligent magistrate, whose death will be greatly felt—and Mr. J. Blake, of the firm of Blake and Parkin, mer chants, Sheffield, were found to have received fatal inju ries; and most of the passengers were or more less se riously injured. The accident was immediately telegraphed to Derby, and about midnight several of the company's officials arrived on the spot. Those of the passengers whose bruises were not of a very serious character, were, after a few hours' delay, forwarded to their respective desti nations; but those whose injuries were more extensive and dangerous were accommodated at the station and in the immediate vicinity. The catastrophe soon became known in the neighbourhood, and the local surgeons, with others from Derby, to the number of seven or eight, attended and rendered valuable assistance in alleviating the pain of the injured passengers. The following is a correct list of the sufferers, toge ther with the nature and extent of their injuries:— Mr. John Meynell, of Tapton-grove, near Chester field, one of the magistrates for the county of Derby — dead. _ _ No other evidence was called to-day, and the inquiry was adjourned to Thursday next. A SECOND COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND LINE. DERBY, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. To-day a second collisiorr took place on the Midlands line, at the Long Eaton junction. A passenger train from Nottingham to Codnor Park came into collision with a coal train at the junction, owing to inatten tion to the signals. The engines were doubled up, but fortunately the passengers escaped with a few bruises only. THE LATE FATAL CONFLAGRATION. Last evening (Tuesday) Mr. W. Payne, the City co roner, held an inquest in th e C oa l-Exchange Tavern, St. Mary-at-Hill, Lower Thames -street. respecting the deaths of Richard Harvey, aged 36, Elizabeth Gray, aged 52, Abraham Clark, aged 22, and George Hare, aged 30, the four unfortunate persons who perished in the fire which occurred on Sunday morning last in the Rose and Crown Tavern, Love-lane. Some particulars of this distressing affair have already appeared in this journal on Monday and Tuesday last. The jury having been sworn, they proceeded, in com pany with the Coroner, to the dead-house, to view the bodies, and upon their return to the inquest-room the following evidence was adduced:— Police-constable Trinder, No. 566 of the City force, said that on Sunday morning last, while passing the Rose and Crown, he perceived a light shining through the bar windows; at first he imagined that some one was up, but, upon listening, he could not hear any person moving about. Having left for about a minute he re turned, and smelt something burning; he then knocked with his truncheon at the street-door, sprang his rattle, and rang the bell. The sergeant having arrived, another policeman went for the escapes and engines, and witness went for the turncock. Upon his return he found the fire raging furiously in the bar. The escapes soon ar rived, but the conductors could not use them on account of the flames coming from the second-floor window at the time. By a juror —He concluded that there must have been some persons in the house, but, notwithstanding his re peated knocking at the door, he never saw any one at the windows. Samuel Overall, of Lower Thames-street, said that Love-lane was not a public carriage-way. Posts were placed at each end, which prevented the fire-escapes from passing either up or down the court. The back part of his house was exactly opposite the Rose and Crown, end when he awoke he was nearly suffocated. Having dressed himself; he ran to Watling -street for the engines. He returned, but saw nothing of any of the persons in the house. Joel King said he lived at the White Hart, Botolph lane, and was awoke by cries of "Murder," and the cracking of glass. Shortly afterwards he hoard cries of " Fire," apparently proceeding from the Rose and Crown. Upon looking towards the houses in Love-lane, he per ceived smoke coming from the taproom, and the servant girl leaning, as well as she was able, against the wall of her master's house. He went into the taproom, and pulled the girl through a broken pane of glass. She then told him there were other persons in the house, but he was unable to get to them. James Bradley, sab-engineer, attached to the brigade in Jeffreys-square, said that he was called to the fire about halt-past two'clock on Sunday morning. He attended immediately with the engine, and found the house in flames Having worked for nearly two hours, the fire was extinguished, when, on hearing that some persons were in the place, he went in, and found a woman in the second floor quite dead, and in the third floor three other persons were discovered, also dead. They were all lying on their faces. The potman was lying on the bed, and the lodger was lying near the window. He could not tell how the fire began. Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the A district of the fire brigade, confirmed the evidence of Bradley, and said that the fire must have commenced near the staircase, and he should imagine about the first floor. Ho did not smell any escape of gas, but he sent to the company and had it cut off from the main in the street after the fire was extinguished. Mr. John Blake, of the firm of Blake and Parkin, railway spring, saw, file, and steel manufacturers, Meadow Works, Sheffield—dead. Mr. John Todhunter, Dublin—both legs broken. Mr. Joshua Todhunter, Dublin (brother of the above) —collar bone fractured. Mrs. Tennant, of Charlestown, United States—frac ture of the thigh bone. Mr. Tennant (husband of the above)— seriously bruised. Mr. Hallam, of Derby—broken arm. Mr. E. Broadbent, of Barrack -tavern, Sheffield — bruised. Mr. Horncastle, of the Royal Oak, Pond-street, Shef field—bruised. Mr. Ashforth, Weldon-streot, Sheffield—bruised. Mr. Ward, of Boston, United States—bruised. Mr. Beebe, of Boston, United States—braised. Mr. Blacklock, of Dumfries, fractured ankle. The [tev. W. Ather, of Dublin, both legs injured. • James Ainsworth, a porter, in the employ of the company, and who was in the guard's break of the express trai❑ at the time of the accident—seriously in jured. The officials of the company are extremely reluctant to give any information as to the cause of this unfortu nate affair, but it is alleged by the passengers to have arisen in consequence of the guard of the express train having neglected to signal the accident to the approach ing goods train. The inquest is appointed to be held to-day. Henry ifitchener, one of the conductors of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, arrived from the Royal Exchange station with the escape, and got the small ladders belonging to the machine to the house, but the building was then in a regular blaze. He there fore knew that the escape would be useless. He, how ever, carried the small laddder to the opposite house, but, owing to the progress made by the flames, it was perfectly useless. A juror said that the escapeman had done all he pos sibly could, but from the fact of the fire having ex tended so rapidly, his services were of no avail. Mr. Joseph ilarvey, of Poplar, identified the bodies of Mrs. Gray and Richard Harvey. He was, however, unable to throw the least light upon the cause of the fire. A long discussion ensued as to the time the escape was called, svhen Mr. Sampson Lowe, the Secretary of the Royal So ciety, suggested that in all cases of fire the escapes should be called first, as the loss of a few minutes might involve the destruction of many lives. Mr. James Mear, of 16, Love-lane, said that he was awoke by his son on the morning of Sunday last. He then hoard dreadful cries in the Rose and Crown. Be fore, however, be had time to get down the screaming had ceased. He heard the noise some time before the rattle was sprung. Thomas Cannon, a neighbour, proved hearing cries for help proceeding from the house, and added that his wife saw the hands of one of the men extended out of win dow, but ho soon disappeared. Mr. Clark, a relative of the unfortunate deceased of the same name, said that he was at the house at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and the place was closed as be left. There was no appearance of fire in the pro mises at that time. Several jurors said that the deceased had been in pos session of the premises only about 18 months, and they were bound to say the house had been during that time most respectably managed. The CORONER at this stage of the proceedings sug gested, that as the only person living who was in the house at the time of the tire was still an inmate of Guy's Hospital, and as there was every probability of her being able to appear in the course of a few days, it would be advisable to adjourn the further inquiry to such a period as to allow her to attend. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned to the 2d a June next. HORRIBLE OCCURENCE ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after one o'clock, a most painful degree of excitement pervaded the vicinity of the terminus of the London and North-Western Railway by a report that a gentleman had a few minutes before deli berately committed suicide by placing his neck across the rails a short distance up the line at the time when the Liverpool day mail was coming down the incline from Camden station into the terminus. Inquiry proved that the statement was, unfortunately, too true, and the fol. , lowing are the authentic particulars:—Shortly after one o'clock a lady named Norton, residing at No. 2, Gothic-, cottages, Park-village, Regent's-park, was standing on the Stanhope-street or No. 6 bridge, which crosses the railway near Mornington-crescent, looking at the Liver-. pool portion of the day mail coming in down the incline, when she suddenly observed an elderly gentleman cross from the up line and deliberately lay his neck across the down rail on which the incoming train was approaching, and which instantly passed over him. The screams of the lady, who fell faint ing, instantly brought several persons to the spot., and the body was then seen from the bridge decapi- 1 tated, and the head lying about two feet away from it, in the centre of the line, between the rails. The distance of this spot being scarcely a quarter of a mile from the! Euston terminus, not more than two or three minutes had elapsed before the railway authorities of the station were informed of what had happened by the guard of the Liverpool mail, who saw the unfortunate man crossi from the up line and commit the act at the same mo ment as the lady on the bridge, but the train was too close to render either the application of breaks or any other means effectual in stopping its progress. Imme diately on the receipt of the information, Inspector Sibsey, of the railway police, proceeded up the line, and the decapitated body was found as described. Th e unfortunate gentleman's cloak was torn off and carried by the wheels of the train, which consisted of t we l ve carriages, some distance, and the hat of the deceased was several yards from the body. On searching the pockets of the unfortunate man, a receipt for the payment of poor-rates for 11, 18s. from Mr. Murphy, the collector of the northern division of St. Pancras, was found in the name of Mr. Young. Applications to Mr. Murphy immediately led to the identity of the unfortunate gentleman, who turns out to be Mr. James Young. of 35, Augustus-street, Regent's park, a gentleman of fortune, and possessing a large c_ „ y 7 Z---te',."'---7e--..."- cl- -, -z-- —z., ' --- 2 f___- -- - -1 , • - , . „:,,„„ ~,. 4 , ..,..__.. c 'Air -115.._ • 1 \*: c ‘ i t qte: ' 8.. 1 1 6.4 U r r * ' --.1 . • f,--- 4* - 4 ‘ ('' ------- \ ---- 4 - . .- . - i‘ Aer -' st ', -•.- i , --• ' • 4.;,' , -- :4 , -& - :e . . *-_., i Jr --Cl4l I: - ..:,:-, i -•'. , 1 1 1 .t- ,'' '.1%, - ~e 4 , ---' i, ,•,> -; .---- -t?

You have already been informed of the occurrence of an accident of a most fearful and disastrous character on the Midland line, near to Clay-cross. As yet the immediate cause of the accident is enveloped in mystery. The officials of the company profess to know nothing of the cause of the accident, further than that the engine of the express train fell lame, and was run into by the goods train. They do not know, or at any rate will not state, whether the guard adopted the usual precautions against accident in the case of an engine falling lame. We learn from several of the gentlemen who were in the train at the time, and are sufferers from the accident, right" e A that the train had not proceed e d more t h an 400 yards past the Clay-cross station wh en th e eng i ne fel l lame, ry After o a w w stoppage,asspheeesdrd, not o a f naboutdmore theo r e the train came to a stand, an d t h ere was a no i se of m b t began to u e t thecy move eonf at l' g n a v trainfive ha minutes, m t ehreithen g a h than one-fourth of the rate at which it had proceeded prior to the stoppage. The train had not been in mo tion above a minute or two, when a loud crash suc ceeded; the passengers were thrown with frightful vio lence from their seats, the carriages nearest the tail of the train were shattered to pieces, and the cries of their inmates were most terrific. All was at once a scene of disaster and confusion. There were between twenty and thirty passengers in the train, scarcely one of whom es caped without injury. The night was very dark, and at the time of the accident a fierce storm raged impetu ously. The poor sufferers scrambled off the line as best they could, some supporting themselves in a dreadful condition against the walls of a bridge which crosses the line, and others lying quite helpless on the side of the rails. The description tho passengers give of their sufferings and the state of the line after tke accident is heart-rending. A telegraphic communication was instantly transmit ted from Clay-cross to Chesterfield, and the servants of the company ran and procured the assistance of the medical men of the town. Dr. Walker, and Messrs. Hall, Hollond, and: Black, surgeons, immediately re sponded to the summons, and were conveyed by special engine to the scene of the disaster. O n t h e i r arrival they found injured parties lying in all directions. Mr. Hall and the other gentlemen inquired of several per sons as to their injuries, but in a very magnanimous spirit they desired them to proceed further, as there were others who much more needed their services than themselves. Mr. Meynell was found quite dead, and on his back on the side of the line, between the carriages and the bridge. Mr. Blake was discovered leaning against the bridge, and his back supported by a piece of wood; he was quite conscious, and complained of great pain at his back, the spine having bsen severely injured. Mr. Bl a ke, with the other injured passengers, was placed in a train and conveyed to Chesterfield. Mr. Blake, however, died on the way. Mr. John in Tedding- ton, addition to • • both his legs being broken, had re ceived many external bruises about the head and body. His brother, Mr. Joshua Teddington, was cut on the head and injured about the ribs and shoulder-blade, and had also a slight fracture of the scapula. They at pre sent lie at the Commercial Inn in a precarious state. The persons who sustained the principal injuries were all in one carriage. THE INQUEST. The inquest on view of the bodies of Mr. Moynell and Mr. Blake was opened at the Commercial Inn, Chester field, this (Tuesday) afternoon, before Mr. Hutchinson, Coroner, and a highly respectable jury. Mr. Macauley, one of the solicitors to the Midland Company ; Mr. W. Smith, ono of the solicitors; and Mr. Saunders, the traffic manager, were present, representing th e com pany. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies, which lay at the railway station. They then returned to the inn, and the following statements were heard:— Mr. Macauley, solicitor, said —Perhaps before you commence taking the evidence in this melancholy case you will allow me to state that I attend here on behalf of the Midland Railway Company (being instructed by the directors so to do) fir the purpose of affording every information and facility in their power to the elucidation of the facts in this truly melancholy and unfortunate occurrence. The directors beg me to state that they desire that the case should receive the fullest and most minute investigation; that their best endeavours and best exer tions shall be used to attain that end; that all th e ser vants who were employed on both trains, and every one in their service who can give any information, shall be forthcoming in order to elicit the truth. At the present stage of the proceedings I will not say more than that the company desire as much as any one present that the matter should receive the fullest and fairest inves tigatiOn. Mr. Fretson, of Sheffield, solicitor, said he attended for the friends of Mr. Blake, and asked permission of the Coroner to put such questions as he thought requisite to the witnesses. The CORONER assented. _ Mi:ll:}lWelierwas the first witness--I am a sur geon at Chesterfield. I knew the late Mr. Meynell. I amount of house property in the neighbourhood. The spot where he committed the rash act is within a few yards of the rear of his own residence. He left home about eleven o'clock in the morning for a walk, and it appears called on Mr. Murphy and paid his poor-rates. The curious part of the business is how he came on this' portion of this line, which is in a deep cutting, bounded by a high wall of brickwork, as the gates at Camden eta tion have always policemen stationed at them, and no one recollects seeing anyone answering his description pass them. The unfortunate gentian:lan, who was 72 years of age, and an Irishman by birth, is well known in the parish of St. Pancras, having frequently taken an active part in local matters. He was eccentric, and some time ago had a fall, since which he had not bad good health, and exhibited a great dislike to being left alone. The mutilated remains were conveyed to the dead-house of St. Pancras workhouse, where they await a coroner's inquest. THE LONDON GAZETTE, May 20. DOWNING-STREET, MAY 20, 1851.

None arc genuine without Mechi's name, which imitators dare not put on the spurious strop; yet, strange to say, many perfumers call ing themselves respectable, endeavour to palm this rubbish (they cyst from 3d. to sd. each in Sheffield) on the public as Mechi's genuine strop, although they possess no sharpening properties whatever, but the very reverse. The well-known Magic Paste is an invaluable auxi liary to the Strop, and its renovating properties are truly astonish ing.
