trict, i, e., those which have given the parliamentary no tice of appellation, and which, for some cause or other, have not been enabled to deposit their sections and plans in time : Manchester and Southampton Extension— a proposed line from Wolverhampton, to join the Bristol and Glouces ter at Himbleton, in this county, and thus diminishing the present railway distance between Manchester and South ampton. Avon and Severn Valley—a line commencing at Evesham, and passing along the Avon and Severn to Gloucester, with branches to Pershore, &c. Birmingham and Worcester Direct Canal Railway—a line from Birmingham, along the site of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal to Stoke Prior, there proposed to con nect itself with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton Railway, and passing on to Worcester , wher e it unites with the Worcester, Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway. LINCOLNSHIRE LINES. The following is an enumeration of the various lines, six in number, affecting Lincolnshire, applications thinr are intended to he made next session. Those marked A, were before Parliament last year ; B, are new projects, advertised previously ; C, were unknown until notice of application. Group 1.-A 1.-The London and York, from London to York with a leop from Peterborough, through Spalding, Bos ton, Lincoln, and Gainsborough, joining the ad trunk line at Bawtry, with a branch line fro m Stamford to Spalding. A 2.-The Direct Northern. The course of this line is altered so as to use the Grantham ; it crosses the Nottingham and Newark Line, midway between Newark and Lincoln. A branch from this line at Clanborough runs south through Gainsborough to Lincoln. A 3. The Cambridge and Lincoln line, from Cambridge through Peterborough to Lincoln, with branches from Stam ford to Spalding, and from Sleaford to Boston. C 4. Eastern Counties. Extension from Cambridge to York. C 5. Eastern Counties. Extension from Lincoln to York. 86. Eastern Counties. Extension from March to Lincoln (known last year as the Ely and Lincoln line). Group 2.-B 7. The Lincoln and Hull line on the Cliff Ridge, through the villages by Brigg, taking the level of the Ancholme Navigation to Barton, thence across the Humber to Resale. B 8. The Hull and Lincoln line on the Valley of the Till to Kirton, thence to Barton. (A branch from Kirton to ore of the York lines would accomplish all that this line is in tended to do). B 9. Great Grimsby and Sheffield Extension from Market Rasen to Lincoln, completing the communication between Lincoln and Hull, and Lincoln and Grimsby. B 10. The Lincoln, Louth, Grimsby, and Midlands Junc tion, a direct line (over or under the Wolds), from Lincoln to Great Grimsby (known as Carrit's line.) Group 3.-A 11. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction from Sheffield, through Worksop and Retford to Lincoln, with a branch to Gainsborough, there to join the Grimsby and Sheffield. B 12. The Manchester and Lincoln Union, from Chester field to Worksop, with diverging lines from Retford to Gainsborough and Lincoln. Intended to furnish another mode of communication to Manchester, by the Buxton and Matlock line. This line is supported by the Midlands. B 13. The Direct Sheffield, East Retford, and Lincoln Junction. B 14. The Lincoln, Wainfteet, and Boston Harbour Rail way. This line will be required to complete the commuui • cation between the Atlantic and the German oceans, through Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln ; the three competing lines from Sheffield to Lincoln will have to offer terms for this line. At present, we believe, the Midlands and Man chester Union Companies are disposed is offer favourable terms. Group 4.-B. 14. The Northampton and Lincoln. B 16. The Hull, Lincoln, and Northampton. B 17. The Lincoln and Grantham. If the London and York line should be carried, this will be the nearest mode of communication between Lincoln and London. C 18. The Lincoln and Oakham. Group 5.-B 19. The Isle of Axholme, Gainsborough, and Goole (from Goole to Gainsborough, through the Isle). C 20. The Wakefield, Pontefract, and Grimsby Junction (from Pontefract to Brigg). B 21. The Cambridge and Lincoln Extension (known last year as the Lincoln, Leeds, and York ; from Lincoln to York direct, with a branch to the North Midland to Leeds. C 22. The Gainsborough, Epworth, and Leeds Railway. The remainder defy any attempts at grouping, and are, en masse, as follow 23. The St. Iva's, Wisbeach, and Spalding. 24. The Direct Birmingham, Leicester. and Boston (from Melton to Folkingham). 25. The Peterborough and Boston. 26. The Boston, Grantham, Leicester, and Midland Coun ties Junction (from Boston to Melton). 27. The Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction (from the Ambergate station of the Midlands, through Nottingham, and Grantham, to Boston and Spalding). 28. The East Coast Railway (from Lynn to Boston, with a branch line from Sutton to Wisbeach). 29. The Louth and Gainsborough. 30. The Grand Union (from Nottingham to Lynn). 31. The Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham (from Lei cester, by Stamford, to Boston and Wisbeach). 32. The Boston and Lincoln. 33. The Spalding and Lincoln. 34. The Spalding and Brandon. 35.

Morning .. 15 minutes after 4 I Evening .. 39 minutes after 4. of applying to Parliament, in which (allowing the ut most for bad management) a portion of the deposits must not be returned. Why, the London and York Company, after its Parliamentary battle of unex ampled length and Cost, has still enough of its five per cent. deposits left to fight again, and makes no fui ther call upon the shareholders for fighting the battle of next session. In schemes, then, which do not go to Parliament (and it is with reference to these that the Times has advised purchasers of scrip to go to law), a large portion of the deposit money must remain to be returned. If the scriphaler goes to law, judg ment in his favour will not console him for the swallow ing up of his recovered purchase-money in his lawyer's bill. We strongly advise, then, all scripholders to trouble themselves no further about KEMPSOM V. SALIN.. DERS,—if it be necessary to compel provisional com mittee-men to return deposits minus expenses, in cases of abandoned schemes, to do it through general meet ings of scripholders, or by the means which a free press affords of bringing public opinion to bear on unprin cipled directors ; out, by all means, if they want to get any of their money, to shy an attorney that would quote KEICPSON V. SAtNnEas and the Times, as they would shy; the The daily accounts from Ireland of the horrid system of assassination so prevalent in some districts of that unfortunate country, are of the most alarming character. No man considers his life secure from the murderer's bullet; the very peasants, who are witnesses in open day of deliberate assassinations, and who might be inclined to give evidence against the perpetrators of such atro cious crimes, are afraid to come forward from a well grounded dread of being subjected to the same fate. The Limerick Chronicle, of Saturday, says, " No rank or sta tion, from the humble cottier to the noble peer, is safe from outrage. In the county of Clare notices have been posted, signed Molly Maguire,' not to pay rents — th e tenants to keep the money in their pockets. and to have the fear of Molly before them." It appears also that similar notices had been served on several farmers in the same county. But horrible facts like these do not rest merely on newspaper reports, they are vouched for by the resident noblemen and gentlemen of the county, and representations of the strongest character have accordingly bsen made to the Irish Government on the subject. Finding that the LORD - LIEUTENANT can render them little additional protection, without he is empowered by Act of Parliament to adopt some more coercive system than that allowed by law, the magistrates of the North Riding of Tipperary, at a meeting of which Lord Di:NALLY was chairman, have issued an address to the British public, which paints in the most vivid colours the deplorable state of that country. " From August, 1844, to February, 1845," they state, " there occurred in this riding 16 murders, 16 attempted murders, and 52 cases of firing into houses, robberies of farms, grievous assaults, and threatening notices." They complain to the English public that they are without protection, that they have forwarded to succeeding Governments representations and recommendations on the subject, and answers received led them to the conclusion that the Government considered measures of coercion for Ireland could not be proposed to Parliament with any chance of success. We are and always have been opposed to any system of coercion till every legitimate means of pre serving life and property had failed, because such partial enactments are most invidious, and generally impose grievous hardships and sufferings on the industrious and innocent part of the population. Besides, they have rarely or never effected a radical cure ; the disease at Periods returns with renewed vigour, and the law less depredators and murderers recur with impunity to their dark deeds of cruelty. The whole system of government in Ireland is out of joint; law is neither respected nor feared; and till the magistrates, Catholic clergy-, and all the well-disposed portion of the com munity, combine together for mutual protection and the discovery of the criminals, we can hardly see any per manent cure that Government or Parliament can effect. In this respect the magistrates of Tipperary have set a good example; they have endeavoured to make the English people acquainted with their desperate condi tion, and have braved the bullets of the assassins in re commending means for the punishment of their erimes. But why is a labour so imperative left only to the laity, and to only a very small number of them? The Catholic clergy are not afraid to come forward ; they brave the terrors of death in visiting the huts of those afflicted with fatal and contagious dis tempers; they spare no labour in rendering comfort to the sick and the dying, and no class of men devote themselves more willingly to their religious duties. But these are only a portion of their labours, and by no means the most important, when such awful visi tations afflict their country—when life and property are totally unprotected, and a system is in full operation which must loosen the bonds of society, drive capital from Ireland, and obstruct the very means ye devised (we mean the construction of railroads) for furnishing emplo3 ment, and disseminating the blessings of civilisation among a half-barbarous race. Why do they not assemble and threaten, as they are bound by the precepts of Scripture, with the punishment of Heaven all those who commit such a flagrant breach of the commandment, " Thou shalt not commit murder?' Their injunctions and denunciations would have the best effect, and would contribute infinitely more to the abatement of crime than Coercion Bills, and prisons, and gibbets. It appears that there is a most culpable apathy displayed on their part in such dangerous times, and that they cannot remain longer silent without incurring the most awful re sponsibility. We here subjoin the measures recom mended by the Tipperary magistrates to the attention of the British public : " First, that a modified insurrection Act bs placed on the statute-book, to be resorted to by Government only in case o any particular barony of a county, which shall appear to the Lord-Lieutenant and Privy Council to require the same ; and secondly, the creation of a law imposing a fine on any district where a murder, or attempt to murder, shall have occurred, the proceeds to be paid over to the family of the injured party. The insurrection Act to which we refer would empower the authorities to enter all houses by night. Per sons absent from their homes, or strangers discovered in houses not their usual places of residence, would be obliged to account for themselves, and, failing to do so satisfactorily, might be brought before a military tribunal or a special com mission, and subjected to severe punishment. Such a mea sure would at least afford security during the night to the houses of the humbler classes, who might then be induced with less reluctance to come forward as witnesses in a court of justice. The bad characters, most of whom are well known to the police, would soon be expelled from the country, and detection would be more likely to follow the commission of the crime of murder, inasmuch as the perpetrators of such acts are usually strangers who come from a distance." TERN RAILWAY. In the course of Saturday night, and up to a late hour on Sunday evening, no less than ten express down trains left Paddington, and three up express traius arrived at that station, conveying parties connected with projected lines of railway, charged with the necessary plans to be deposited at the office of the Board of Trade, Whitehall. One of these express trains, consisting of only the engine, tender, and a first , class carriage (in the latter were two or or three gentle men proceeding to Exeter with railway plans, &c., to be de posited with the clerk of the peace for the county of Devon) left Paddington on Sunday afternoon at twenty minutes past five o'clock. As it passed by Slough, Mr. Howell, the superintendent at that station, observed the burning coke fall ing out, apparently through the bars of the furnace in con - siderable quantities, leading him to suppose that some of the bars had become displaced. Within ten minutes after this train had passed, another express train consisting, in addition to the engine and tender, of one first and one second-class carriage, was observed approaching Slough from Paddington. Mr. Howell immediately made the usual signals for this train to stop, fearing, from what he had witnessed of the former one, that it would not be enabled to proceed far beforeit came to a dead atop for the want of fuel. In this train were three or four gentlemen engaged upon a similar errand to those on the former one. Mr. Howell having informed the engine-driver and guard of the circumstances he had observed connected with the first train, and giving them strict instructions to ex ercise the greatest care, suffered them to proceed, after delay ing the train for a nearly quarter of an hour. The first train, having a disabled engine (it having been found that several of the bars of the furnace had dropped out), was only enabled to proceed about a mile beyond the Maidenhead station, a short distance over the bridge which crosses the Thames. At this time it was quite dark. The guard was then sent back towards Slough, for the purpose of signalising any train which might be proceeding down the line to stop. Observing the tram, which had been detained a short time at Slough, by Mr. Howell, proceeding towards him, and being unprovided with a light, an unaccountable omission, he pulled off his jacket, in the hop e th a t his white shirt sleeves might attract the a ttention of the driver, and made the usual signal, by holdingstop. Theboth his hands up , above his head for the trail ' to nistanee between the two trains at this time was nearly a mile. The engine -driver, however, passed the man unheeded, and in less than two 1 minutes afterwards a most fearful collision took place. The train ran into the one w hich was stationary a dreadful t crash, o nly first-class carria ge which shivering the was attached to it literally into a thoueand pieces, • scatterme. the fragments over the line. Fortunately, the engine-driver, the two or three passenger s had stoker, and guard, and left the train, and were standing by the aide of the bank when the crash occurred. Had the 'latter remained in the carriage, have been saved. As i t was , however, their lives could not escaped, as well as those who were with t e e t s: iier providentially train, with the exception of some slight bruises of but lit t tle importance. The engine which ran into the c arriage sustained no i e xcept to one, of the buff parties who were travelling by . both the special trains then proceeded with the sound engine (which, after some delay, wa, shifted by the moveable rails on to the other line, as soon a s i t was cleared of the wreck) to their places of destination. It i s stated that the engine attached to the first train was without a single light, and that it was the intention of those entrusted with it to {provide themselvee with lamps upon their arrival at the Reading station. It was not until nearly midnight that the down line was cleared of all obstruction, and open for traffic. Several of the trains, both up and down, were considerably delayed in consequence of the accident. The Oxford train, which started from Paddington at seven o'clock, did not reach that city until nearly an hour beyond its usual time; and the last up-train, instead of reaching Paddington at half-past ten o'clock, did not arrive till nearly midnight. The accident is solely attributed (independently of the neglected state of the bars of the furnace) to the guard pro ls hp the line to endeavour to cause the down-train to of any kind W h atever stop, without being provided, on a dark night, with a lamp In anticictio, Madrid journals of the 24th ult. have been received. The elections for supplying the vacancies caused by late appointments had commenced, and caused some excite ment, as a hope seemed to exist that the Opposition had displayed more vigour, and that several candidates of that party would be returned. The election for Barce lona began on the 23d, when three candidates on each side were proposed, and at the close of the first day's poll all the Opposition candidates had a majority. The city remained perfectly tranquil. At Cadiz the Govern ment candidate had been returned by a considerable majority. On the 24th the Three per Cents. clo3ed at 36 for 60 days. No other stock was quoted. The chief articles in the Paris papers relate principally to the operationsjagainst Buenos Ayres, the late decision of the Court of Cessation, so destructive to the influence and independence of the press, and the Oregon question. We, however, find little new ; but what is new is of an agreeable character. The Sark, with a degree of im partiality at list, which does honour to that journal, places the Oregon question in a fair light, very different indeed from that in which it is viewed by TYLER and PoLE. "The question," it says, "is no longer entire. America has recognised the rights of England, and England has recognised the rights of the United States. The whole world has been witness to these reciprocal engagements. Neither of the powers has now a right to withdraw from" them. Let them, then, negotiate be tween themselves an amicable division, or let them both submit to arbitration. For the one of the two who first draws the sword, and who thus wiil set at nought a half century of diplomatic arrangements, without reckoning the perils which it will, create, will draw upon it self the blame of civilised nations." The National, of Friday, stated that M. G UIZOT was in a very indifferent state of health, and that the duties of his office pressed heavily upon him. It appears, how ever, that the Minister is as vigorous and active as ever, and officiated publicly, and in good health, at the cere m'bny of layin; the first stone of the hotel for the Mi nistry of Foreign Affairs, which took place on Satur day. M. GUI7.OT, who was assisted by M. DUMON, in a suitable speech addressed the assembly, and congratu lated them that another monument was about to be added to those which bad already rendered Paris so ce lebrated among the capitals of Europe. The site is near the Chamber of Deputies, and the building will be com pleted in four years. It appears from the following article in the Govern ment paper, the Epoque, that the defections from the Anglican Church excite the liveliest hopes among the Catholics of France, and that devout prayers have been ordered by the Archbishop of,PARIS for success in such a holy cause : -on of th e ca lli ng out o f t h e Militi a th e Militia Clubs " for providing substitutes have commenced geskim ALIADVIVAIA to; Unix ro-organiaation. " Monsieur Wiseman, Bishop of Melipotama, in partibus, and co-adjutor to the apostolic vicar of the central district of England, has just addressed a letter to the Bishops of France, Luxembourg ... Madrid and Valencia... THE SUN, LONDO_Nr, WEDNESDA Y MORN'ING, DECEMBER 3, 1845 in which he expresses the hopes which the feeling now mani fested in England gives rise to. According to Monsieur Wiseman, the conversions to Catholicism on the other side of the Straits are not only becoming numerous and more bril liant,but the old prejudices are disappearing, and more people than ever are intent on the return to unity and anxious for it. The Catholics of England have learnt with gratitude the sympathy with which their Continental brethren watch their progress; Monsieur Wiseman demands that the Catho lics of France will continue to join in their prayers, and soli cits of the Archbishop of Paris a grand manifestation in behalf of the English Church. The reply has not been long awaited ; the Archbishop of Paris has addressed a letter to his clergy, wherein he urges the priests of his diocese, who may have due devotion, to offer up at once at least the holy sacrifice, and all pious souls to take the communion once or several times for this pious purpose." Some of the papers state that the Minister of Finance intends to present to the Chamber a Bill for the better regulation of business transacted in the stock and share market. A gcod deal of business was done on Sunday, at the Opera Passage, in the Three per Cents. Some sales took place at 81f. 70c. for the settlement. Nothing was &me in railway shares.

MaNironr, Nov. 19.—At this moment, ten o'clock in the morning, the city is all in a tumult, the drums are beating, and the military drawn up before the bar racks ; an assembly of the citizens is to be broken up. A short time a,go notice was given by the Municipal Council that an assembly of the citizens should be held, to deliberate on various subjects, among which were the censorship of the press, the violations of the rights of the citizens by the police, &c. This resolution being pub lished the Council received an intimation from higher authority that an assembly of the citizens, to discuss political matters, could not be held. They met notwith stamling• ; the hall was crowded ; about eight hundred citizens were present. The discussion begun, when the magistrate called the City Director ap peared, and declared the meeting to be dissolved. The discussion proceeded, and the Director left the Hall and went to the Goverment Director to consult him. He gave notice to the Commanding General, who immedi ately called out the troops, and with two companies of infantry and a squadron of cavalry repaired to the Hall. The three then entered the Hall with half a company of infantry, and declared in the name of the law the meeting dissolved, and called the attention of the persons com posing it to the consequences of resisting the armed force. The assembly then dispersed, but there is great excite ment in the city. HALF•PAsT 12.—A deputation of the citizens is just gone to Carlsruhe, to complain of this proceeding.

Mr. GLADSTONE'S Registration Act has made the sale of scrip illegal, says the Chronicle, and has thereby taken away from the buyer any right of action that be fore existed. But if this Act has done so much it has done more ; it has made the seller of scrip liable for any such sale to a penalty of ten pounds. The words of the Act which the Chronicle, wrongly, in our opinion, applies to railway companies, are these (7 and 8 VICT., C. 110, S. 26) : . _ " With regard to subscribers, and every person entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to any share in any joint-stock com pany, the formation of which shall be commenced after the Ist day of November, 1844, until such joint-stock company shall have obtained a certificate of complete registration, and until any such subscriber or person shall have been duly regis tered as a shareholder in the said registry- office, it shall not be lawful for such person to dispose, by sale or mortgage, of such share, or of any interest therein ; and that every con tract for, or sale, or disposal of such share or interest shall be void, and that every person entering into such contract shall forfeit a sum not exceeding ten pounds." If the Chronicle is right in applying this clause to railway companies, we think the Gallant Admiral to whom in his provisional-committee-man capacity the Times so pointedly addressed its gentle warnings, is not to be congratulated on his alternative. We suspect, indeed, he would gladly compound for the penalties by running the risk of the action. But we venture to think that the Chronicle is wrong, and for these reasons:— 1. Clause 2 of the Registration Act says—" Except as hereinafter specially provided, this Act shall not ex tend to any Company for executing any bridge, &c., &e., railway, &c. &c., which cannot be carried into execu tion without obtaining the authority of Parliament ;" and there is no special provision to bring such companies within the operation of the clause that makes sales of scrip illegal. _ _ 2. The words " until such joint-stock company shall have obtained a certificate of complete registration, and until any such subscriber or person shall have been duly registered as a shareholder in the said Registry-office," clearly limit the operation of the clause to companies which do not require the authority cf Parliament. Such companies do not acquire their powers till they get these Acts. Other companies acquire their powers on complete registration. It is true that clause 9of the Act provides for a complete registration of companies which require Acts of Parliament, and enables them to obtain a certificate of complete registration on depo siting their deeds at the Parliamentary offices, in com pliance with the standing orders of the two Houses, and returning a copy of the deeds to the Registry-office. But this complete registration is very different from the complete registration, which, in other cases incorporates companies ; and it is not to such complete registration as this that the words of the penal clause, " until any such subscriber, or person, shall have, been duly registered as a shareholder in the said Registry-office," apply. The " due registra tration" of shareholders in the Registry-office is de scribed in clauses 7 and 11 of the Act. Clause 11, provides for half-yearly returns of new shareholders to the Registry-office from "the directors of every joint stock company completely registered under this Act, except companies which shall have been incoyorated by Act of Parliament after complete registration." 3. The Chronicle quotes the words of the 7th clause of the Act, " That it shall not be lawful for any joint stock company hereafter to be formed for any purpose within the meaning of this Act, whether for executing any such work as aforesaid under the authority of Par liament, or for any other purpose, tr act otherwise than provisionally, in accordance with this Act, until such company shall have attained a cert'ficate of com plete registration, as hereixafter provided;" and then proceeds, " Now, sales of scrip certifi cates are beyond the provisional powers of joint- . stock companies by the 26th section." We believe the 26th section to have nothing to do with the words quoted from the 7th. The 26th section at most, if the ChroNick were right, would forbid a certain act on the part of subscribers to railway companies. The words of the 7th section refer to the powers of companies for car rying out their objects, with which sale and transfer of shares his nothing on earth to do. We submit, then, that the Chronicle is wrong in its reading of the Registration Act. Into the question raised by the Times, of the liabilities of parties who hold scrip to actions for the purchase-money, we w ill not now enter ; but we think no gallant Admiral's sea-side slum bers need be disturbed by any fear of such an action. What is any scripbolder to gain by suing his seller ? There will be no case of a company which stops short PRUSSIAN FUNDS.—BERLIN, Noc. 27. lloneY.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, the staple being freely offered. Soles 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were more lively, and better prices were generally ob tained. A correspondent has circulated some suggestions relative to potatoes, from which we take the following extracts : " With respect to soil," he says, " the potato delights in that which is moderately light and porous, which points out the necessity of draining all heavy and wet lands, if they are expected to grow potatoes. In the next place, the potato requires a frequent change of soil, and on this account heavy crops are usually produced on newly broken up lands. In kitchen gardens, and cottage allotments, where the root is grown year after year on the same spot, this necessity is in some measure provided for by the large quantity of fresh manure which is commonly used. Extremely favourable seasons will counteract to a great extent the disadvantages of the soil, but no man has a right to expect a large and healthy crop who plants his seed in land exhausted by fre quent cropping . , which has not been well worked by the spade or plough, or which is retentive of cold and excess of moisture." _ _ Upon the subject of seed the same party tell us, when re ferring to one of the most common practices, that " it ought to be whole. The practice of cutting potatoes into pieces for seed, leaving one or two eyes in a piece, cannot be too strongly deprecated. The result of repeated experiments has unanswerably proved that the plan has nothing to recommend it, but a penny wise and pound foolish eco nomy. It is true, that every eye• possesses the germ of a perfect plant, the same as the eye of a Dahlia; but every cultivator of this flower knows, that although he may get a well-firmed plant, and handsome flowers, from a single eye, or the cutting of a Dahlia, he only gets a good crop of roots from a perfect tuber." He further observes that it ought to be in a state of ma turity, of medium size, and well formed, it h av i ng b een f ou nd that . potatoes of the of hen's eggs have produced the heaviest crop out of a given weight of seed, the writer even giving the preference to sets much sm a ll er , if r i pe , w h o l e , and well formed, to pieces cut from large potatoes. The potato should likewise be frequently raised direct from the Mlle, and the seed ought may be injured by bad management b e a e h d nea g c w o ee n ml t l a epn i n rte e . s d e e d theas the t abt best s t a seed There are no late colonial arrivals in the City to-day.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDE.NT.--.TWO HousEs KILLED.- On Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, as Mr. John Lewis, of Malden, horse.dealer, was on his way on horseback from Tilbury Fort to Brentwood, a man riding a second horse belonging to him by his side, when near the Cock at Orsett they were overtoken by Mr. W m. Stephens, farmer, of Bulphan Fen, who was riding at a furious pace, and the horse, over which it was evident he had no control, came in contact with that upon which Mr. Lewis's man was mounted. Such was the violence of the collision that the man was thrown from his seat, but fortunately he escaped unhurt. Mr. Stephens was also precipitated to the ground, and his horse rolled over him. He was taken into Barrington's farm, and Inspector Smith, of the police force, who was near the spot, with the greatest promptitude obtained the assistance of Mr. Corbett., surgeon, when it was found that Mr. Stephens was much injured upon the hip, and greatly bruised. The poor animals fell a sacrifice to the casualty, the one rode by Mr. Lewis's man expiring from the effects of the shock in about five minutes; and Mr. Stephens's being so much injured that its sufferings were necessarily put an end to with the knife half an hour after the occurrence. The latter, it ap pears, from some cause took fright at Chadwell, near Grays, from which time Mr. S. lost all power over hlm, the animal, we are informed, actually clearing by a leap a donkey and cart, which were upon the road. Mr. Lewis's horse is said to have been worth about 12/., Mr. Stephens's 25/.—Essex Herald.
