F. FERGUSON CAINIROUX, Secretary. N ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance ment of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body of the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to estabiish a Branch Office in connexion with those Societies and the Operative Classes generally, in which their services might he successfully en gaged, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open communication with the different Societies, with the view of more effectually disseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus trious classes, and a plan has been proposed with that object. ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of mortality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either Immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, which should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the •hannel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice ; while to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness Is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick ness-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. lint the same perfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment being in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a provision for old age :- Ist. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract , that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial bodiei. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amongst the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other part of the plan itself, without being fully satisfied that the convenience and safety of Friendly and Benefit Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious:iei m d number, for to classes f,h4oprete hutteincsii:i undersigned dgvii, general, resolutions have been entered into, con stitutinge d gtaht so:::rfit,ht eeebenefits Committee,ofthe h emc-1 contained power taf t t ni e ad st d oec t loeatinyt connected and which, without interfering with the numerous objects with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

Mr. Gr (+./' Holland, ~. . --.. ueorge Frederick Young's evidence was continued. By . Mr. Liddell —On my last examination I believe I restricted my statements to the relative costs of British w.rid foreign ships ; I did not go into the question of m at o e n s, t)h:, wages and provisions. In reference to the first of these matters,. I find that there is a very coil ,‘.‘ierable differenc e in favour of most foreign nations 1:1 the amount of wages psid in the narigniiOn of . th . eir ships as compared with the navigation of a of voy th ag e e. L of ni t te w d e. British ships. I have made out a statement showing the comparative expense of navigating British ships and L s found to amount SNeden, and Prussia. For a ship of 500 tons the ex lveSt the average of wages, insurance, interest on eapi tph the s e s h f l o p r s to 10 per cent. per . annum)—l find that the depreciation t Bremen,ak ineg t r a r l ope cc t a y lcu ( la %i t l ed ich at l t in p e er alvv ee a n y ex pense of a British ship for such a voyage, co a ti ng 8.750/., would be 2,623/. 10s. ; the expense of a United States' ship, costing 7,250/., would be 2,191/. 10s. ; the expense of a Bremen ship, costing 5,500 L, would be 1,626/. ; the expense,. :of a be i 5 0/ • Swedish ship, costing the same sum, would ~ 5 . ~ destin and that the expense of a Prussian . ship, g 4,750/., would be 1,329/.; makings difference in favour of American ships of , 432/. in favour of Dutch ships of 513/. 10s., in favour of Bremen ships of 997!. 10s., in fa vour of Swedi s h ships o f 1,073/. 10s., and in favour of Prussian ship s o f 1,294/. 10 s . Th e c omparative cost of victualling British and f ore i gn s hips I have found it diffi cult to ascertain, but I have a thorough knowledge of the dietary on board British ships, and I must say that the quantity of the expensive articles of food used greatly exceeds the quantity used on board all foreign vessels, except those of the United States. I have cal culated that the wages on board a British ship of 500 tons for a year would average 786/.; on board a United States' ship, 669/.; a Dutch shin, 6401.; a Bremen ship, 4711.; a Swedish ship, 395/.; and on board a Prussian ship, 331/. 10s. _ By Sir R. Peel—l stated when I was last examined that I had sold half of a cargo of oil that I expected shortly to arrive for 90/. per tun, and that that price was higher than usual, in consequence of the de crease in the amount of British shipping engaged in the whale trade. I admit, however, that on the average of the three years previous to 1842, when the duty on oil was taken off, that the average price of oil %, as higher. In 1839 the price was 95/. per tun ;in 1840 the price was 1041. per tun ; and in 1841 the price was 981. per tun. I am decidedly of opinion that want of confidence in the protection of the Government had led to the falling off in the whale fisheries. By Mr. Liddell—The rate of insurance on foreign vessels is the same as the rate on British ships, but the latter pay more because they cost more. Mr. Young was cross-examined at considerable length upon the evidence he gave at the previous sitting of the Committee, but no new facts were elicited. The Committee adjourned. •,vhich met with the accident on the day before the acci dent, and also on the same morning. In all the long engines there was a little vibration. CORONER—Did you consider the engine unsafe?—l can't say that I did. I think that if I bad been there the accident would not have happened. As soon as my en gine begins to rise I always shut off my steam, and then the engine becomes steady. Would you have any objection to drive the engine again?—l would not. I now drive one of the same construction. The examination of this witness was continued at considerable length. He stated, that while on the Hull and Selby Railway, an accident happened to a train pro , polled by two engines, and one of the engines went off the rail. Mr. Powell—What kind of engine ?—The same as his. And the one that remained on was not Stephenson's? —No; but I consider Stephenson's engines as safe as any on the Brighton line. Mr. Miller, surgeon of Emsworth, described techni cally the nature of the injuries which the deceased had sustained. Mr. F. Hitchins, resident engineer, stated that the line was in perfect working order. The surgeon having stated that there were slight hopes of the stoker's recovery, the inquest was adjourned for three weeks. CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM. Altogether, the most interesting case of somnambulism on record is that of a young ecclesiastic, the narrative of which, from the immediate communication of an Arch bishop of Bordeaux, is given under the head of Somnam bulism in the French Encyclopaedia. This young eccle siastic, when the archbishop was at the same seminary, used to rise every night, and write out either sermons or pieces of music. To study his condition the archbishop betook himself several nights to the chamber of the young man, where he made the following observations :—The young man used to rise, to take paper, and to write. Before he wrote music he would take a stick and rule the lines with it. He wrote the notes, together with the words corresponding with them, with perfect correctness. Or, when he had written the words too wide, he altered them. The notes that were to be black, he filled in after he had completed the whole. After completing a ser mon, he read it aloud from beginning to end. If any passage displeased him, he erased it, and wrote the amended passage correctly over the other ; on one occa sion he had to substit u t e th e word "adorable" for "diein," hut he did not omit to alter the preceding "ce" into "cet," by adding the letter " t" with exact precision to the word first written. To ascertain whether he used his eyes, the archbishop interposed a sheet of pasteboard between the writing and his face. He took not the least notice, but went on writing as before. The limits tion of his perceptions to what he was thinking about was very curious. A bit of aniseed cake that he had sought for he eat approvingly ; but when on another occasion, a piece of the same cake was put in his mouth, he spit it out without observation. The following in stance of the dependence of his perceptions upon, or rather their subordination to, his preconceived ideas, is truly wonderful. It is to be observed that he always knew when his pen had ink in it. Likewise, if they ol,•eitly changed his papers, when he was writing he know it, if the sheet substituted was of different size from the form, he appeared embarrassed in the case. But it' the fresh sheet of paper, which was substituted for that written on, was exactly of the same size with the ih t •r a r us , lhd h e e ad t continueop f p e p a a r p e e ( t l ro n ar o se t i t du o eobnffet y a h, ' as a s r c e wo o mh f ep t no h s e .t iht ch leo nm a n fa g r; e um . s c A rti n h : et it,elf lay before him; nay, more, he would continue his corrections and introduce the amended passage, writing it upon exactly the place on the blank sheet which it would have occupied on the written page.—Blacktrood's .11agazine.

The first of a series of lectures on the political and intellectual development and present condition of the Savonic nations, was delivered on Saturday, at Willis's Rooms, by Count Valerian Krasinski. The Slavonic nations (he said) constitute the most numerous race of Europe, and they occupy not only the largest portion of its territory, but the whole of Asia ,s,e3tward to the 52d degree of latitude. Although still intermingled with other nations, which are, however, radually absorbed by the Slavonic elements, the Slavonic tongue extends from the banks of the Oder, the upper parts of the Elbe, the borders of the Tyrol, and Italy (it is spoken in the vicinity of Udine), and the shores of the Adriatic eastward to the Black and Caspian S as, and even the Pacific Ocean ; from the frozen regions of the Northern Ocean to the Caucasian moun tains, and almost to the shores of the Mediterranean. The population of the Slavonic race amounts now to about 80 millions, and the lands which it occupies pre s- nts facilities for an indefinite increase of these num bers, whilst western Europe is comparatively over peopled, so that a very large increase of its inhabitants must be attended by all the disadvantages of over population. It is, therefore, evident that the Slavonic nal ions must exercise a decisive influence on the destinies i,f' Europe. This influence will entirely depend upon the nature of the political and intellectual development Of these nations, consequently it is only a knowledge of the history and of the present condition of the Slavonic nations which may enable a person to form a correct estimate of what Europe may hope or fear from them. T here is now an extraordinary intellectual movement anlmating all the nations belonging to the Slavonic race. Every branch of human knowledge is cultivated with more or less success, according to the degree of civilisa tion to which those nations have respectively arrived, but the subject which particularly engages the attention of Slavonic writers is the improvement of their national idioms, and the study of their national history and anti quities. Everything which relates to the past of those nations, historical documents, national songs, proverbs, &c., are carefully collected and published, and all these remnants of the olden times are the objects of an enthu siastic veneration. This reanimation of the national intellect amongst the Slavonians is accompanied by a 1 peculiar circumstance, a circumstance which may be productive of the most serious consequences to Europe— this is, a tendency which is now rapidly growing amongst all the Slavonic nations to unite into one whole. This tendency is generally known under the name of l'unslavism, a name which already creates much appre hension in Germany, and begins to produce a sensation in France, although it is, as yet, but little known in this country. The object of Panslavism is a mutual recon ciliation and approximation of all the Slavonic nations, in order finally to unite them ,into one , political body. This gigantic scheme is ardently promoted by the lead ing writers of the different Slavonic nations, although they greatly differ about the form in which it is to be accomplished. One party wishes for the establishment of a confederation, composed of all the Slavonic nations, each of them retaining its national independent organisa tion; the other party, and the most active of them, rejects the idea of a confederation as being impracticable, and advocates the establishment of one great Slavonic empire, or at least an aggregate of Slavonic states, under the protection of the most powerful of them. This last combination is, undoubtedly, the most feasible of the two, because it is much more easy to rally the sca:tered parts of the Slavonic race around the only now existing Slavonic state (Russia), and which already compre3ends two-thirds of the whole Slavonic race, than to firm a confederation of Slavonic nations which must previously acquire an independent political existence which taPy do not possess at present. The realisation of the idea of Panslavism, which ra pidly gains ground amongst all the Slavonians, ilight be traught with the greatest dangers to the rest of Europe, but particularly to Germany. A collision betweer the Slavonians and the Germans would become unavcidable, because a Slavonic empire composed of different branches belonging to that race would not be consolidated. ex cept by estranging as much as possible the Slavonians from other nations, which may be done in the most effectual manner by continually appealing to their na tional antipathies towards the German race, from which it has suffered innumerable wrongs, wrongs which Jaye been admitted by all the German historians, &c. The Count gave afterwards a sketch of the Slavonic history previously to their conversion to the Chritian religion, of their national idolatry, customs, and nan- ners, &c.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT CHESTER, CHESTER, MONDAY MORNING.—Since our last report a strict inquiry has been instituted by Captain Sim mons, the Government Inspector-General of Railways, into the circumstances attending the falling of the bridge, and the shocking catastrophe that followed. The gallant officer was assisted by Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer of the Chester and and Holyhead Rail way, who planned the bridge ; Captain C. W. A. Moorsom ; Mr. Lee, the resident engineer ; Mr. W. R. Collett, M.P., the chairman ; Mr. King, the Secretary ; Mr. Tyrell, the solicitor ; and several of the directors. The first objects that came under inspection were the girder that had given way, and the masonry of the piers and abutments. The bridge across the river by the race-course or Roode, its length being about three hundred feet, supported by two stone piers in the centre of the stream, and nearly thirty feet in height at low water. The abutments were built upon piles of great strength, and the piers were formed on hard blue clay, a coffer-dam having previously been made. The iron girders that support the permanent way are ninety eight feet long, each consisting of three pieces, having vertical flanges with bolts at the joists, and otherwise strongly secured. There are many bridges of a similar description on the Trent Valley, Blackwall, Great Western, and other railways. The masonry was minutely examined, and , from the observations th a t f e ll f rom Captain Si mmons, it is in ferred that, in his report to the Board of Trade of the disaster, he will not attrib u t e th e acc id ent to i ts defec tive state, or state that the, girder broke down f rom an y undulatory motion produc e d by the passing trains. The girder that gave way, the outsir e one of the down line, underwent a strict scrutiny. It was in three parts. The portion that had rested on the Salteney or Welsn side of the Dee, was torn from the masonry of the abutment, and was lying partly in the mud and water, buried by the falling stones and rails, &c., while about 50 feet of the remainder was still hanging from the masonry of the pier buttress. The fractures w,-re in the sound metal, and exhibited no appearances of having originated from any flaw or defect in the casting. One of the fractures, it was considered, caused the bridge to give way, and the other one was produced by the metal falling on the ground, or some heavy substance striking it in its descent. In other respects the girder was quite sound. Clayton, the driver of the engine attached to the train, who had so extraordinary an escape, made the same statement as he did before the Coroner, and persisted in his original story, that the speed of the train in passing over the bridge did not exceed 20 miles an hour. Mr. Robert Stephenson expressed an opinion, not pub licly announced, that the train was travelling faster than had been stated, and that the tender by some means got off the rails, and on passing over the bridge struck the girder a lateral blow and fractured it. This, we believe, was the general opinion amongst the many engineers and scientific gentlemen who were present. The Rev. Arthur Rigg, the Principal of Chester Training College, has given a totally different opinion as to the cause of the calamity. lle says there are three causes for the accident; Ist, the defect in the ma sonry; 2d, the peculiar vibration, brought about by ac cidental circumstances; the bridge, although not a sus pension bridge, was a structure that would vibrate in three ways—vertically, horizontally, and also with a slight and almost inappreciable longitudinal motion; 3d, the horizontal vibrations from the centrifugal force of the train passing over. Major Thomas Congreve Robe, R.A., stationed at Chester, believed the accident arose from the breaking of the girder, and not from the giving way of the ma sonry. The board of directors have come to the conclusion that no precaution or engineering skill could have Up o n inquiryinfirmary this morning, we were informed that the condition of several of the survivors guar was d very a gai unfavourable.n st the at theac d c accident.

William Crofton M ea t, surgeon, U pper Berkeley street, Bryanstone- s quare —A t h a l f - past five o'clock this morning I was call e d t o th e b ac k ki tchen o f t h e house No. 40, Adam -str ee t W est, an d there saw t h e body of an aged woman lyi ng on h er r i g h t s id e; one o f her legs was bent over h er b o d y, an d her neck was 1 3 i ng ac ross a fender. A small ro p e was passed s i x t i mes roun d her throat, but not tightl y . Th ere was a b ru i se un d e r the left jaw-bone. The body was quite cold, and the muscles rigid; the hands were begrimed with ashes, and the hair of the head was full of dust. A cap was lying by the side of the deceased, under whose head was a quantity of clotted blood, which had emanated from the mouth and nostrils.' Mr. Rawlinson—ln your opinion, sir, how long-,had the deceased been dead before you were called in? OW ness—l should think about eight hours. Mr. Rawlinson—Can you form any opinion as to how the death was caused? Witness—l have taken merely a cursory view, and, so far as that extends, death ensued from loss of blood. I have not as yet made any exami nation further than what I have mentioned. Mary Anne Porter, wife of a constable of the D divi sion, said—l was called to search the prisoner, and I found a great deal of blood upon her clothing; her bonnet strings had also marks of blood upon them. Mr. Rawlinson—Did anything more transpire respect i▪ ng the appearances you speak of? Witness—No; but, in addition to what I have stated, there was blood upon the prisoner's cloak. Mr. Itawlinson—Did anything more pass? Witness --While in the cell a ma❑ came to look at the prisoner, and she said, " That is a son in-law of the old lady, and there are some things in the bundles which I have given the old lady ss. for." Mr. Mills, 3, George-place, Carnaby-street, St. James's, said—l am porter to Mr. Barker, 170, Regent street, and son-in-law of deceased. I dined with her on Sunday last, and have not seen her since. The prisoner, who is a servant out of place, had been lodging with her 11 weeks, and a fortnight ago she received notice to quit, but she refused to do so. Last Sunday morning my mother (deceased) told her she was grieved at nut being able to get rid of her, and the prisoner had been heard to make an observation to the effect that she knew that the old lady had some money in a corner drawer. Jackson, 29 D, said—Between two and three o'clock this morning I was called by Battersby, my brother offi cer, who told me he suspected there was something wrong, and he gave the prisoner into my charge, saying that there was a very serious case inside. I asked the prisoner what she had been doing, and she replied " No thing." I asked her what made her leave the house so early, but she made no reply, and trembled very much; at this time Battersby came from the back part of the house and said, " This is a serious affair; take her to the station-house." I did so, and we went there in a cab. I took the bundles with me, and gave them to the in spector. On the way to the station the prisoner made no observation whatever. Susannah Nisbett—l lodge at 40, Adam-street, on the first floor. I knew Mrs. Stowell, the deceased, and saw her yesterday afternoon between three and four o'clock, Mr. Rawlinson—Did the prisoner lodge with her ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Hawlinson—When did you last see the prisoner ? Witness—At twenty minutes to nine o'clock I saw her come out. Mr. Rawlinson—Did you hear any noise or struggling in tha house ? Witness—None, sir. Mr. Rawlinson—llid you ever hear the prisoner threaten the deceased ? Witness—Yes ; the night be fore last I heard her call her an old wretch, and say she would do for her. The clothes contained in the bundles before referred to, and marked " M. 5.," were proved to belong to the murdered woman. The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say, and being duly cautioned by the magistrate, denied all knowledge of the way in which the old lady came by her death ; she said she knew nothing whatever about it. The ►Magistrate remanded her for further examina tion, and on her way from the Court, while being re moved at one o'clock to the prison van, she was hissed at and hooted by a large mob who had assembled. CHARGE of MURDER at BRISTOL. BRISTOL, JUNE I.—This morning the news was spread throughout the neighbourhood of Limekiln-lane, in this city, that the wife of a mechanic named Skinner had been murdered by her husband, who had thrown her out of a third story window, and dashed her brains out. Skinner, it appears, is a nailer, living with his wife and two small children at No. 4, Limekiln-lane. Yesterday, not being well, the husband lay down in bed during the greater part of the day. He and his family occupied an upper room in the house, the third window from the street. At half past seven o'clock last evening the wife's brother called in to see them, and noticing that the hearth-brush lay broken, asked the husband how it was done, to which he replied, " I broke it on Sally, beating her yesterday." The brother made some remarks, upon which the husband ordered the brother out of the room, but the wife begged him not to go, as her husband would murder her if he did. A struggle ensued, in the course of which they all three fell on the bed, the husband striking the wife, The husband then got up and ran to a shelf, from which he took a table knife, which he held in a threatening manner, and drove the brother out down two or three of the stairs, after which he returned into the room, and almost immediately a crash was heard, and persons in the street saw the wife falling from the window into the street. The neighbourhood being a crowded one, every assistance was rendered, but the poor woman shortly died without having i spoken, her skull having been severely fractured. The husband was immediately taken into custody, but alleged that his wife had fallen out of th e w i n d ow herself. To this, however , it is replied that a young man who was passing near the house at the moment, and who saw the body falling, on looking up, noticed the window closed immediately after the body fell, which, if true, renders it more probable that she was thrown out. A Coroner's inquest will ill be held this evening, when, no doubt, the true facts of the case will como out. MURDER AT KIDDERMINSTER. KIDDERMINSTER, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—Last even ing Mr. R. Docker, coroner for this district of Worces tershire, commenced an inquiry into the cause of the death of Phillpotts, who was killed by a brazier named Lloyd, on Sunday morning last. It appears that the deceased and his fellow-workmen had been drinking till a late hour on Saturday night, as also had the murderer, Lloyd. Soon after midnight the parties proceeded home wards, Lloyd and his friends forming one party, and Phillpotts and his friends another. They met at a street called Lion-hill, when they quarrelled and fought for a short time ; but Lloyd's party being in the minority sought refuge in the house of one of them —a brazier, ria.med - Lcrekley-- , and the door - vvii§ cl'Os'ed upon Phill potts and his friends. Some taunting expression, how. ever, was used towards Phillpotts, on which he attempted to follow Lloyd into the house, and had got half way through the door when Lloyd rushed from a back room to the door with a knife in his hand, which he drew across Phillpotts' throat, cutting the windpipe completely through. Phillpotts immediately cried out and fell back into the street deluged with his own blood. Persons who had witnessed the affray from their bed-room windows, on rushing to the.spot, found Phillpotts as already de scribed and apparently quito dead. Lloyd was then taken into custody, and the knife was found in the room where he had been sitting. The following is a summary of the principal points in the evidence given on the inquest:— Thomas Elves, weaver, of Kidderminster,, knew the deceased, and saw him quarrelling with Lloyd and others at the Lion-hill between ono and two o'clock on Sunday morning. They were walking side by side, and Lloyd said to Phillpotts, " If you go on f o ll ow i ng me I'll give you Brummagem." He said se vera l ti mes to Phill potts,rf " I'll give you that as shall sti c k t o y ou it you o h lliun w ptts were ome."Otherpersons accompanying - Lloyd and wrangling together, when witness left them and went home. _ _ Fanny Lockley, wife of cis Loctkoleir,oibdrtahzeietar,. stated that about half-past one o'clock it o nu ti :gin S p u t n ed da t y o mfoollronw was morn ing her husband came home, accompanied bybLultowyditnaensds Joseph Ilill. There were ten . or a dozen persons wrangling in the street at the time, and her husband theShandtro, attempted his yst husband acai fnttdeor atncompanionshde closeihrarrival f p rer p i ive e den a ol r dop e sr d .h be tp,oho ti the trying ht u se however,, in the door way, and at that moment Lloyd came for ward towards Phillpotts, and both raised their hands as if to strike each other, but witness did not see any weapon in their hands. Phillpotts struggled hard to ),get into the house , but witness h eld the door f ast, and not a word was said by either party. Each struck at the other at the same moment, a n d i mmediately a fterwards Phillpotts leaped back from the door w i t h an exclamation as if he was hurt, and witness imme diately shut the door, and saw no more o f hi m, Lloyd returning into the back part of the house. An alarm was given in the street shortly afterwards that Phillpotts was killed. Witness did not believe it, and refused ad mission to any one until the police arrived, when her husband opened the door. Lloyd was immediately taken into custody. He denied that he had used a knife. The knife, however, was found near him, the blade being covered with fresh blood. [The knife was produced and handed to the jury. It was a common pocket k n ife, but the blade (about five inches long) was sharp and pointed. It still bore the marks of blood upon it.] The witness went on to SON that she heard, Lloyd use the words " Brummagem,' or " Birming ham " several times, but she did not know what was meant. There was no light in her husband's house at this time. Francis Lockley, husband of the last witness, de posed, that while on his way home on Sunday morning, in company with Lloyd and others, he met Phillpotts, who appeared to have been waiting for them with two companions named Haycock and Pardoe. A little fighting took place, but the parties soon got separated, tts attempted to follow, and witness with Lloyd proceeded to war d s his (Lock• ley's) house, followed by Phillpotts and hi s f r i ends. At his door ha had a little sparring with P ar d oe, b ut t h ey Lloyd an d w it ness were went s i e n p t a o ra t t h ed e h by ou J se. Joseph Hill, and :old then came the rencontre already described in the evidence of Mrs. Lockley. The witness did not see the actual collision between Phillpotts and Lloyd at the door ; but heard the disturbance which took place out or doors, and it appeared to him as though some of the party were urging Phillpotts to follow them. After the collison, when his wife had shut the door, and returned into the house, she showed witness that her hand had been cut, and witness said to Lloyd, " You have not been using a knife, have you ?" to which Lloyd replied in the negative. Lloyd had lodged in wit ness's house for nearly two months, during which time he had been very quiet in his demeanour. Witness ad mitted that he was rather " fresh." They had all been drinking. _ _ Mr. W. Nixon, a baker, residing in Lion-street, Kid • derminster, who witnessed the affray from his bed-room. deposed that he was awakened between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning by a noise in the street. On looking through the window he saw Joseph Hill en deavouring to prevent the parties, who appeared quar relling, from fighting. Hill, Lockley, and Lloyd, went into Lockley's house, and on something being said about " Brummagem," Phillpotts stepped forward from the rest of the people in the street and attempted to push open Lockley's door; but he immediately rushed back into the street with his throat cut in a dreadful manner. lie cried out loudly, and after running a little way fell down in the street. Witness dressed himself imme diately, and found the unfortunate man lying in a pool of blood. He attempted to raise him, but he appeared quite dead. There was a severe cut under the ear, from which the blood gushed forth profusely, and the door was sprinkled with it. Witness, on gaining admittance into Lockley's house, saw the knife produced, which Lloyd denied to be his. Mrs. Lockley, however, identi fied it, having borrowed it of him repeatedly. There are other witnesses to be examined, but it is nut expected that their evidence will produce any new facts. It is expected that at the close of the inquiry, which cannot be concluded till a late hour to-night, the jury will return a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Lloyd, who is in the custody of the police. The prisoner appears fully sensible of the awful position in which his impetuosity has placed him. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. NUTBOURNE, JUNE 2.—This morning Mr. J. L. Ellis, coroner for West Sussex, held an inquest at the Bell and Anchor Inn, on the body of Gregory, the driver of the engine which ran off the line on Monday. Mr. Sher wood and Mr. Powell (of Chichester), and Mr. Smart (of Emsworth), solicitors, were in attendance to cross examine the witnesses, in consequence of some rumours that the engine in question was unfit for service. Having viewed the spot and the body of the deceased, the fol lowing evidence was adduced: — William Careless, a railway guard living at Havant, deposed—l was guard to a train which left Brighton at ten minutes past four o'clock on Monday. Deceased was the driver. Ido not know his name. Henry Peel was the stoker. The train consisted of a luggage box and six passenger carriages. I was on the last carriage. When passing through Doctor's Copse, Nutbourne, I was standing up and looking forward, when I saw the engine strike off the metals suddenly. The next I saw of the engine she was in the ditch. Directly I lost sight of the carriage I jumped off. I tried to get up but could not. I tried again, and succeeded. I was hurt. The first thing I saw was the stoker; he was lying to the left of the metals, the side opposite to that on which the engine had gone off. One of his arms (the left) was cut off as if a wheel had gone over it. He was also bleeding from the head. He was lying within six or seven yards of the last carriage. I then went forward and saw the en gine in the ditch. The irons connecting the engine and tender had broken, and the tender and luggage-box had just gone off the rails, and likewise the front wheels of the first passenger carriage. I was going to the en gine, and I saw deceased under the carriage, but I saw he was quite dead, and did not stop. I went on to see if any passengers were hurt. None of them were in jured. We then got up Peel and placed him on some boards, having done which we took out the body of de ceased. I saw that one of his legs was cut off, and he was very much cut about the head. I cannot give any notion of the cause of the engine going off. A stone on the rails would not throw it off. We were not going fast. The deceased had been down the line before, though not, I believe, as a driver. The driver drove from Brighton. An engineer rode on the engine from Chichester to Bosham. His name is Kirtley. The en gine had no particular quality of character. The speed was from 25 to 30 miles an hour. The engine had six wheels, the front and back having flanges, but not the middle pair. I have been in the company's service five years. The engine is sometimes; used on the London line for passengers. I never heard a driver named " Dick" speak against the engine. 1 never heard it re marked that the flanges of the wheel were worn. The driver and stoker were perfectly sober. If a stone were on the rail it would be knocked off by the iron protector which goes in front. Mr. Thomas Kirtley, of Brighton, locomotive engi neer to the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail way, deposed—l joined the train in question at Chi chester. The deceased had been in the employ of the company about a fortnight, as a driver. He had been a driver on the Midland Railway for a very considerable time—more than twelve months. They were exceed ingly unwilling to part with him. I rode on the engine as far as Bosham, when I left the engine and entered a carriage. The deceased was an excellent engineman. I am inspector of the engines, and every engine has been overhauled under my care within the present year. This engine was selected for this line on account of its being a particularly , easy and level line. The Foreman—Can you give any reason for the acci dent? Witness—l don't like to answer the question. The Government will send down an inspector, and I would rather not answer the question now. The Foreman thought the company had been rather too premature in taking the engine to pieces before the jury had inspected it. Witness—lt was taken to pieces in order to get to the boiler, and put it to rights. It is the custom of railway companies to do so. Mr. Sherwood—Yes, to clear off the appearance of the accident. I hope the coroner will insist on the wit ness answering the question put to him by the foreman. CORONER—Do you think the accident was caused by any obstruction on the line ? Witness—lt is clear there could be no obstruction, as the " protector" would knock cff anything larger than an inch high. Then how do you account for the accident? Acci dents of a similar character have happened on other lines. Engines have left the lines of the Eastern Coun ties, Royston, Torrington, and the York and Newcatle. Foreman—But they were accounted for? No. Mr. Sherwood—ls there any reason why you should reserve from the jury what you would state to the Go vernment inspector? Witness—l will give you all the facts. Mr. Sherwood—You are a scientific Man, and we want your opinion. , Jt. Witness—My own impression is that the engine left the line from an oscillation to which that class of engines is subject. Mr. Smart—You mean Stephenson's? Witness—This is a patent engine by Stephenson. Three axles went under the boiler. Mr. Smart—What is the particular thing which causes the particular oscillation ?—There are two causes. The cylinders are placed outside, which always gives an ad ditional oscillation. The next is that there is an over hanging weight at both ends, which causes a kind of undulating motion. Mr. Sherwood—Then you think those engines are not so safe as others?—They run on almost every lino in the country. Do you consider them so safe, air? The answer is " Yes or "No." Mr. Smart—Balancing the advantages with the disad vantages, are they so safe as engines of other construc tion? Witness—l think there is some objection to be raised, but I wish it to be understood that I do not con sider it an unsafe engine. The Newcastle and Darling ton have no others. Mr. Powell—ls Stephenson the engineer of that line? —He was the consulting engineer. And had an interest in the matter?—lthink so. F oreman—Are these the same engines that are used on the London line?—Not since I have been here. I find them on this particular line, and thought them par ticularly suitable to it. We had only four engines or that class. Foreman—And they are down here?—They are down here. Mr. Powell—You think this the easiest line for bad engines?—No, Ido not. We have two more of those engines ; one on the London line and one on the Hastings. Mr. Sherwood —Passengers' trains ?—No, goods. Foreman—Then Stephenson's engines are not fa- vourites of yours?—l do not say that. Mr. Smart —May I ask whether, when you left the engine for the train, you had any fellow. traveller?—Yes,' my wife and a lady. The speed was from 33 to 35 miles an hour. That is not a fast pace. Stephenson's en gines are 2001. or 3001. more expensive than the others. After leaving Bosham I heard a rumbling noise, and in a few seconds the train was brought up. I never heard that engine-drivers refused to drive this engine. In my experience there has been no accident of this kind on this line. Mr. Smart—Alter this occurrence, is it in your opinion safe to use these engines?—They are daily used on many lines without accident. But you think there is more danger in them than others?—There is more oscillation, but I cannot say it aounts tositive danger. The further you place the weight from the centre, the more the undulation and the oscillation. John Cox, gatekeeper at the Broadroad station, near the spot, had several times observed that particular en gine "sway" more than the rest. The other three lengines of the same make did not "sway quite so much. Thomas Scott, keeper of Ireland's gate, the next gate I to Broadroad, and on the other side of the site of the accident, saw the accident. The engine gave a kind of leap, and it appeared to him as if something gave way behind. The steam was shut off before the accident. Robert Peel, brother to the stoker, who was wounded, stated that he had been five years engaged—three years as a stoker, and two as an engine-driver, on the York and North Midland line. He had been in the employ of this company a fortnight, and had driven the engine No. 17,069. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING SU N, JUNE 3, 1847. PRICE SD.
