THE LATE ACCIDENT AT THE BLACKWALL PIER. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A FCLICEMAN.. Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, :yesterda . . l v resumed this inquiry at the Royal Mason, Poplar. .The de ceased met his death through being drowned. irr an attempt to get on board the Vesper, Grzvesend steamer, at Blackwall Pier, at about eight o'clocA on the evening of Monday, the 16th instant, and whi'eh,, it was alleged, was owing to the improper conduct of stationed F e lth am, b e l ong i ng to the company;• on the pier, in laying hold, of the tail of the coat of th e d eceased at the time he was going on board. The deceased, who was a waiter at the Terrace-pier Hotel, Gravesend, had been turned o ff the boat, b y t h e direction of the captain, owing to i his being in t ox i cated and insulting the and the boat being ab ou t to leav e th e p x i p e r r e ,on d r voyage to Gra vesen d , the deceased expre sse d his determination of again getting. on board, and ran to the stern of the vessel for that purpose, when the accident occurred. Mr. Heritage, a solicitor, ap peared on behalf of the friends of the deceased, 'and: Mr. Winkworth, on th e part o f t h e company, to watch the proceedings. The only additional evi dence that was adduced was that of John Gorstin, of Blackwell, butcher, who depo,ed to wttnes‘inz the . whole tratractirm, atir? he ,did not attact' an„ real blame to the policeman, w h o :appeared to hi m to be speaking quietly to the deceastxl, and endeavouring. to get him away. Affer be was turned off the boat a number of persons on the pier called to the deceased "Why don'tyoujump on bo:.irl?" The doceast d then ran ' to the stern of the vessel, a distance of about twenty feet, the policeman after him, and jumped towards the boat, his bands resting on the rails, his legs and body hanging down by the side of the vessel. The policeman laid hold of his coat to save him, but let go, and the deceased fell into the water and was drowned. The deceased did not appear to have a firm hold of the rail, no part of his body being over it.. One witness, at the former inquiry, deposed that the heaviest part of the body of the deceased was over the rail. By the Coroner—The deceased's hands ap. peered to yield by the pulling of his coat by the policeman. Scarcely a minute occurred throughout. The legs of the deceased were hanging down by the side of the vessel, and he appeared to be quite tipsy. The policeman seemed to lay hold of the deceased to prevent his getting on board, but no effort on his part to save him could have been available, as the boat was near six feet from the dummy. The de ceased might possibly have been saved if the police man bad not laid hold of him. Thomas Grudge, a waterman at the pier, gave similar testimony. The Coroner then read over the whole of the evidence, remarking on the whole case, which he was of opinion was attributable entirely to accident in the police constable in endeavouring to save the life of the de ceased. Several of the jury expressed themselves wholly dissatisfied with the contradictory nature of the evidence and the necessity for further :inquiry, and after a lengthened discussion the inquiry was ultimately adjourned to Monday next. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE...at a late hour hist evening, we received intelligence of the death of Mr. Joseph Marshall, of the firm of Thompson and Marshall, solicitors, of this town, while bathing at Hornsea. From the particulars which we were able to obtain, it appears that the deceased gentleman left Hull yesterday morning, with his wife and three children, to spend a few days in Hornsea. On their arrival the whole family went down to the sea shore, and Mr. and Mrs. Marshall bathed in separate machines. When Mr. Marshall had been in the water about a quarter of an hour, being a consider able distance out, he appeared to be labouring under the cramp, and was evidently powerless. By this time Mrs. Marshall had come out of the water. There were a great number of persons on the beach, amongst whom were Mr. Thomas Wing, the driver of the Hornsea mail, who, seeing Mr. Marshall was in danger, in the most courageous manner went to his assistance. On reaching him he found Mr. Marshall fioatii.g on the water, to all appearance dead. After a considerable struggle, Mr. Wing brought him within a short distance of tne shore, but, finding himself sinking, was obliged to let the body go. Several of the bystanders then waded and got Mr. Wing out. Alter a delay of about twenty minutes, during which time Mr. Marshall's body was carried out some distance by the tide (tl . wugh for the whole time visible), a boat was launched, and the body brought to the shore, where everything was done to re,to:•e anima tion, but without effect, lite being quite extinct. Mr. Marshall was a young man of much promise, and was much respected by the legal pr.f.s_ioti of this town.— Hull Packet. THE POLISH EXECUTIONS.—The Swabian Mercury has the following front Lemberg. dated the 9th:—" The people continue to make denii.nstrat ons of s 3 rnpathy over the graves of the ex.-cut.d Poles , and a so!emn ser vice on their b.-Ntlf has just be,r. p rformed in the Church of St. 11-maid. Last evenitz the crowd was evidently increasing so much, ar.d showed such a dispo sition to riot, that the police found it nrcessaty to inter fire. An officer of the police earnestly entreated the people to disperse, but the disorder continued through . - out the day, and threatening cries were uttered. In the evening torches were lighted, and illuminated transpa rencies prepared ; flags were displayed. and patriotic songs were sung. A second summons to disperse was read, but being equally ineffective as the first, it became necessary to employ more rigorous measures. Stones were thrown at the troops, upon which a detatchment of Hussars and a company of Infantry made a charge, cleared the place, and took twenty prisoners. Tran quillity was afterwards preserved by patrols." MELANCHOLY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A HIGHLY RESPECTABLE MARRIED FEMALE.—Yesterday morning, between the hours of nine and ten, the neighbourhood of Hungerford-market was thrown into a state of great alarm and excitement, in consequence of a most despe rate attempt at suicide by Mrs. Susannah Jackson, aged twenty-six, a highly respectable female. It apP,rs that at that hour the unfortunate creature, having alighted from a Paddington omnibus, proceeded towards the water side, and was observed to wander about the place in a somewhat singular manner, after which she hastene , do , n ,o the l r ag, m cl aspingercy7 Heaven hands,eo protect she ex claimedmychildren !" and then plunged into the river. The oc currenceaterman u was particularly noticed byt h difficulty, iffi y t wo Waterman t e, who w raised an s ins c t de a e n e t d in alarm, and, after som e saving her from a watery grave.

(IMPORTANT CURE of INFLAMMATION 1 of the EYES, by the use of DURKEE'S GREEN MOUN TAIN VEGETABLE OINTMENT. " Martha Day, of 94, High Holborn, states than she Is 14 years of age, and has been afflicted with sore eyes from her infancy, occa sioned by the measles ; and for the last three years has been unable to distinguish objects with one of her eyes, and has suffered much pain. She has been under the care of several occulists, particularly the principal one of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital ; yet the inflammation increased and extended down the side of the face, producing a hard swaling or tumour just below the jaw-bone. In this state of disease she was advised to apply Durkee's Green Mountain Vegetable Ointment; in a few days the swelling and in flammation entirely subsided, and she can now see to read ordinary print with that eye, the sight of which was consistered past restora tion." The distinguishing feature of this ointments is its power in reducing inflammation ; it is therefore highly beneficial in gout, rheumatism, erysipelas, bronchitis, ringworm, glandular swellings, and all scrofu lous affections. The proprietors have consigned the ointment to Messrs. H. Preston and Son, 94, Smithfield-bars, London. It is also sold by Barclay and Son, Farringdon-street ; Sanger, 150, Oxford street ; Howse, Tichbourne-street ; Taylor, Pall-mall ; Nash, Mary lebone-street ; Mack and Williams, 114, High Holborn ; and all re spectable Chemists and Medicine Venders throughout the kingdom, in pots, 2s. 9d. each. 31 One half the world are desolately desola l tely s and o A R ye e s o t i fno o er n mm ab ear l y y , sa c h o hi n de t lrr e d n Ah t s ed iemaiscerdl D fa r eal d e e hr n o ce tphe , es or e a in A gle, supposing tria t gt h th e et m r. married, lc determine h, solta q t r h u G the other worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret sensela i tt er th o e f but the truth lies deeper.

Iv; all • MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. On Sunday morning last, about 9 o'clock, the town ships of Heaton, Halliwell, and the surrounding neighbourhood, were alarmed by a report that a man, named Robert Pilkington, about 56 years of age, had murdered his wife by splitting her skull with a poker. The facts, so far as we have been able to ascertain them, are as follows : Some years ago the prisoner, who is a man of vio lent temper, resided at a farm in Halliwell, called Pool's-fold. At that time his wife had four cottages left by her father, three of them at Delf Hillock, in Halliwell, and one opposite the Duke of York public house, Spring-gardens, in Great Bolton. These cot tages which brought in a rental of 234 per annum, he prevailed upon her to convey to him. His dissi pated conduct, however, caused them to live very un comfortable together, and in July, 1835, he kicked and abused her so shamefully as nearly to cause her death. For this attack upon his wife, he would have been indicted, but on her account he was prevailed upon to sign a deed of separation, and to convey the dwelling-houses left by her father to trustees for her maintenance during the term of her natural life. After this Mrs. Pilkington went to reside with her sister, but about 10 years ago her son took a farm at Brownlow-fold, and the mother went there to be with him. There she remained until about three or four years ago, when her son removed to his present farm in Heaton, to which his mother accompanied him, and at which this frightful murder was perpetrated. On the 15th of March last John Pilkington, the son, who is thirty-four years of age, was apprehended on a charge of having wounded William Kershaw, of Belmont, at the Doffcocker public-house in Heaton, which nearly caused his death. For this offence he was tried at the Liverpool Assizes on the 14th inst., and on the 19th he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. When the father heard of the sentence passed upon his son he was at the Doffcocker public-house, and then declared that he would go and take possession of his farm. He generally lodged with a woman named Cooper, but although his son refused to allow him to go into the house, it is said that he frequently went into the barn and slept there. The young man was out on bail, but on going to the assizes to take his trial, the father went two or three times to the house, and extorted small sums from his mother. On Sunday morning he made his appearance at the farm, and the servant girl, apprehensive that he was bent upon mischief, prevailed upon her mistress to leave him, and go with her to Barrow-bridge, with the milk. She did so, and on their return, about nine o'clock, they found him in the kitchen. As soon as they entered, he got up from a chair at the kitchen fire, and said to his wife, " Are you going to take charge of this farm ?" She replied, " Yes, our John says I must." Thereupon he seized a large kitchen poker, and completely split her skull. The servant girl screamed and ran before him, to pre vent him repeating the blow, when the brute aimed a blow at her also, which cut the scalp, but did not in jure the skull. She was fortunately able to run out, and her screams brought some of the neighbours to the spot ; but when they came the prisoner had made his escape, and his wife was found dead upon the floor, and literally weltering in blood. The police were immediately sent for, parties went out in diffe rent directions in pursuit of the murderer, and he was apprehended by Police-constable Atkinson, near the four lane ends at Smithills Dean. When told that he was charged with the murder of his wife, he denied that he had touched her at all. On Monday afternoon the prisoner was brought up at the county sessions room Town-hall, Little Bolton, before the Rev. J. S. 'Birley and Mr. P. Ainsworth, on the charge o f cu t t i ng a nd maiming Bridget Dean, with intent t o d o h er some grievous bodily harm. Pilkington is a healthy -looking man, and, although there are no indications of ferocity in his countenance, he manifested the greatest indiffe rence during the investigation. Bridget Dean, an Irish girl, servant to John Pil kington, farmer, of Longshaw-fold, Eaton, gave the following evidence :—My ma s ter is at present from home, and on Sunday mor n i ng last his brother Wil liam, his mother, and my se lf we re in the house. About seven o'clock the pris on er came to the door, and said, if we would let him in to light his pipe, he would go away again directly. The door was opened by his son William, and he came in and lighted his pipe, but refused to go out again. In a while I went out with the old woman and William. I said 1 would not leave her with him. I took the milk to sell, and the old woman went with me. William and the old woman left me and went another way. I went round to the customers, and on my return ,I met the deceased at Mr. J. H. Ainsworth's bleach-works. We then went home together. It wanted ten minutes to nine o'clock as we went through the works. We had then about half-a-mile to walk. When we got home we found the prisoner sitting on a chair before the fire. He asked the old woman, "Is thee to be master ?" and she said, " Yes, our John left me in care of the place till he came back." He then took up the poker from the fire - place , a nd struck her twice on the head. I got hold of t he p oker, and he wrenched it out of my hand, and struck me on the left side of my head. The old woman had fallen on the floor, and I ran out for the neighbours. I called out that the old woman was killed, and a great many people came to the house. My head was a little cut, but not much.—(The poker was here produced. It is a piece of iron not quite two feet long, and half an inch square.) called in to visit Bridget Dean yesterday afternoon, nd her at Pilkington's about three o'clock. I fou Mr. George Wolstenh olme, surgeon, said—l was house. She had a wound on the scalp, on the left side of her head: It was about half an inch long, and as would be inflicted by the corner of the iron pro duced. It was not a dangerous wound. went quite through the scal p. It was such a wound John Lawton, police-constable, got the poker from c t Charles Hod gkinson,ounr turnpike road, tpaibue Pilkington's on Sunday morning, about ten o'clock. It was among the ashe s. There was blood u p on the iron, and a little hair u p on one end. It had been p ut of the himcounten the k in the ashes, and wa s all covered, except a p iece at the end. one lary force of the Bolton division, stated th y at, having received information of the murder, he went in search of the prisoner, and apprehended road, Smithills Dean, in thetownship of Little Bolton. He was proceeding towards Belmont, but seeing some men who were in pur suit a little higher up the hill, he turned back, when witness met him and took him into custody. This was about noon on Sunday. H e charged the prisoner with having. murdered his wif e , and he said " What, my wife Saying so will not make it so." The Rev. J. S. Birleyt having cautioned the pri soner asked him if he wished to sa y an ything ? The prisoner replied, "I have nothing to say that I know of; what can I say ?" Mr. Birley then told him he stood committed to Kirkdale Gaol for trial, for cutting and maiming Bridget Dean, but that he would be kept to meet a more serious charge before the Coroner.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. FREETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday, at the Town Hall, Preston ; Mr. Thomas B. Addison in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the Burnley and Collieries Branch Bill would be presented to the House of Lords on the meeting of Parliament, the directors having availed themselves of the general order, which allowed Bills suspended to be resumed on the meeting of Parlia ment. The ten per cent. deposit yet remains in the Bank of England. The first portion of the line from Fleetwood station to the Longridge Railway, which was expected to be the most difficult and expensive part of the undertaking, has been contracted for upon satisfactory terms, and is in progress of rapid com pletion. The Longridge line is being widened and altered so as to be adapted for the use of locomotive engines. Operations are to be immediately com menced on the second portion of the line, upon which are some heavy works, viz., from the Longridge line at Griwsargh to Milton. The Rev. W. BIBLET begged that the calls might be delayed as far as practicable. The report having been adopted, the meeting, after voting thanks to the directors and the chairman, se parated. SOUTH DEVON.—The directors of this railway do not intend to wait for the comple . tion of the line to Plymouth, before they give facilities to the inhabi tants of the three towns to use it. It it their inter.- tion to form a temporary terminus at. Laira Green, for which purpose about six acres of ground have been rented, and are now regularly staked out. The works in the neighbourhood of Pl3mouth are pro ceeded with rapidly. The road down towards King stree is rapidly progressing ; the walls are of a very substantial character, and are erected to within a few yards of the street, and the space between them filled up so as to be ready for the laying of the rails when ever that may be desirable.—Plymouth Times. BORDEAUX AND CETTE.—The company to whom this line was conceded have dismissed the engineers they had engaged, preparatory to the projected disso lution of the company. PRICE SD.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—The following intelligence was posted in the Underwriters' Room to-day : "A Colombo Times, extra, of the 15th July (Isle of Ceylon), contains a very alarming rumour with re gard to the relations of this country with China, and one which derives considerable probability from the recent conduct of Sir John Davis, the Governor of Hong -Kong. The report is, that the attack on the Bogue Forts had roused a desperate spirit of hostility against all foreigners, but especially the English, and had led to a general rising of the people of Canton against them. The report further states that the Con suls had been compelled to leave Canton, and that the Europeans were preparing to follow them. " The above news is said to have been brought to Colombo by the Haddington steamer, which received it from the captain of a vessel who had been dispatched to Calcutta for troops, to reinforce the garrison of Hong-Kong. " The details are too incomplete to enable us to judge whether this is a national movement, authorised by the Emperor, or a popular commotion, but either would be a very serious affair." It does not appear how this intelligence has reached England, but from the tenor of our previous advices from the Celestial Empire, it is no doubt authentic. ROYAL ORTHOPZEDIC INSTITLITION. The half yearly general court of the governor and subscribers of this institution was held yesterday, at the Hospital, 6, Bloomsbury-square. Quarles Harris, Esq., deputy chairman, presided, The report read and adopted stated that the total number of in and out-patients admitted during the past half-year, from the 24th of February to the 24th of August, 1847, amounted to 758, being an in crease during the last six months of 220. The total number of the patients admitted since the opening of the charity in December, 1840, was 570, and of out-patients 5,485, making a total of 6,055. The average daily at tendance of out-patients was now about 100; the cases presented weekly from 20 to 40. The committee had the highest satisfaction in mentioning that out of this large number who presented themselves with cases of club-foot, lateral curvature of the spine, and other con tortions and deformities, not one death had occurred, neither had there been any instance of permanent suffer ing or injury from the mode of treatment adopted. The list of subscribers was steadily increasing, but the feeds at the disposal of the committee were quite inadequate to the relief of the large number of applicants who came from every part of the United Kingdom. Recently six additional beds have been opened for the reception of patients, making 36 now in the establi,hment. The committee acknowleiged themselves indebted for liberal additions to their resources to the C , rporation of the city of London, who bountifully voted them a donation of Company,ig Ri g ht Hon. vlsoi Sir Fred. awarded. guineas. theMrcee T rs h ' The R Pollock and Lord Robert Grosvenor having been nomi na t e d to the vacant Vice-Presidentships, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. l 00/ . , them and t o 25 SHAKSPRRE'S ROUSE. - BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY EVENING.—Last night a meeting was held at the public office, convened by R. Martineau, Esq., Mayor, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of raising a fund for the purchase of Shakespere's house. The meeting was very respectably attended. Mr. Ed ward Flower attended, from Stratford, to give any infor mation required upon the subject. The Mayor opened the business by stating the object for which the meeting was convened, and concluded by urging upon all present the necessity of immediate exertions to secure the birth place of William Shakapere, the immortal bard of England, that the country might retain it as a national treasure. Mr. Flower said it was the desire of the Stratford com mittee to obtain the active co-operation of the various towns for the one object, rather than by having different subscriptions and different attempts at purchasing; any thing like competition would only very materially en hance the value of the property. In London, Manches ter, and other large towns, they were co-operating for one fund, and he hoped they would do the same in this town. The appointment of a committee, for the pur pose of carrying out the object of the meeting, was then moved by Francis Clarke, Esq., and seconded by Arthur Ryland, and carried; after which it was arranged that circulars should be immediately sent to the leading gen tlemen of the town, requesting their assistance, and to prepare for another meeting to be held on Thursday next. ALLEGED FRAUD BY A LETTER CARRIER. — Yesterday a charge of fraud of a singular character was investigated by the Post-office authorities. The charge arose from the circumstance of Goodwin, who was what is called " charge taker" of a division, and in that capa city had to receive and account for the moneys received by a number of letter carriers, finding his cash account frequently deficient, and having to make up the defi ciency from his private resources. This occurring fre quently, a police-constable was placed in the room be longing to the letter carrier's department, who shortly detected one of the men entering some time before the usual hour for business, and after opening Goodwin's drawer with a key, proceed to alter the entries in his charge book. The case has been ordered to be re ported to the Postmaster-General, for his Lordship's decision as to the course to be adopted towards the de linquent. ANOTHER IMPRISONMENT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF CHURCH-RATES.—Surely the members of the Establish ment must see with shame the incarceration of another victim to the unjust system of church-rates! A poor man, named Bedwell, has been sentenced at the Cam bridgeshire assizes to six months' imprisonment for not paying sixteen shillings to a church to which he did not belong! The facts are stated in an article taken from 'the Nonconformist Elector in our Supplement. We are told that the sufferer " felt a conscientious objection to the rate." When legal proceedings were adopted, the churchwardens might have distrained on his furniture, instead of indicting him. But they took the latter course: two years elapsed before the trial; costs of some hundreds of pounds were incurred; and the poor man— not having " a shilling in the world to bless himself with," but having a wife and five children earning only three shillings a week—is committed to gaol for half a year! Such events are a scandal to any church. They are clearly of the nature of persecution for conscience' sake. It is vain to say that the law was against the prisoner. The complaint is that the law itself is an uffence against conscience, by requiring a man to pay for the teaching of that which he does not believe to be true. It is idle to reproach the man with obstinacy, for not obeying the order of the justices: the same scruple which led him to refuse the rate, would lead him to refuse the order. Yet we mast admit that if compulsory taxation for religious teaching be just,—if it be right to make men pay for the teaching of that which they do not in their consciences believe,—the distraining of poor Bedwell's furniture might have been warranted, though not even in that case the imprisonment of his person. Such cases as the present ought to lead men to consider whether com pulsory taxation for the support of religion can be vindicated by reason or Christianity.—Leeds Mercury. ILLNESS OF AIR. LAW HODGES.—We deeply re gret to learn the serious illness of the newly-elected Member for West Kent, Thomas Law Hodges, Esq. We understand.that the Hon. Gentleman is suffering from a complication of ailments, attributable to over-excitement and exertion during the late contest, which he was en gaged in, we are told, contrary to the advice of his me dical attendant. The warmest opponents of Mr. Hodges will, we are sure, sincerely lament that his obedience to what he considered a call of public duty, should have sub jected him to personal suffering, and will earnestly hope that his maladies may soon yield to medical treatment. We understand that the proposed dinner in this town to celebrate the Hon. Gentleman's return has been indefi nitely postponed.—Maidstone Journal. BANICRUPTS.
