The first object of importance to be noticed is THE ANCIENT MANOR HALL, an abode of singular pretension, erected with due regard to dura bility, placed in the centre of the domain, and commanding from its front a quiet, picturesque, and lovely scene. It is a quaint and sin gular building in stone, of a very early period, containing aumerous lofty and well-proportioned chambers, many of them enriched with fine old carved oak, offering every accommodation for a large family, which, if assisted by a tasteful c‘nd judicious outlay for embellishment and furniture, in accordance with its character, a residence not only of the first importance but of extraordinary attraction would be obtained.

After some prelimi nar y remelts the investigation was commenced with the exam i n atioii.of: William Manners, w h o deposed as follows .—I reside at No. 4, Ferdinand -street, jiarapistead-road, and am an engine-driver in the service of the North-Western Rail way Company. I have been in tbe,zeompany's employ between two and three years. OrPeaturday, the sth inst., I drove the engine No. 153, attached to the Liver pool night mail train, which ought to peeve the Euston square station at 45 minutes past eight. It was about 54 minutes past eight when we left on the night in ques tion. Our train consisted of nineteen carriages, va riously composed of luggage vans and first and second class carriages. On the night of the accident we called at the Watford and Tring stations before arriving at Wolverton. At Tring we were three or four minutes behind our proper time. The lamps were put on my engine properly before leaving the Euston station. There were three lamps altogether—one white lamp on the buffer, one on the tender, showing a white light forward and a red light backward. The Foreman said he saw by Regulation No. 2 that the buffer lamps ought to be capable of showing three colours—white, red, and green. The witness said that was so, but the lamp on the buffer of his engine on the night in question was out of repair, and could not be made to show either a red or green surface. _ ConoNEß—You say the lamp was out of repair on the night in question. Let me ask you do they keep alight generally pretty well ? Witness—They some times go out. The buffer lamp, however, much less fre quently than the others. Examination resumed—On the night in question all went well until we arrived at Wolverton. The night was very dark and wet, but I saw the white signal a quarter of a mile before arriving at the bridge where the acci dent occurred. I had slackened speed about a mile be fore arriving at the bridge. A reference to the plans was here made, and a long discussion ensued between the coroner and jury, at the close of which— The wituess continued—l opened the whistle and shut the steam off about two hundred and forty yards before arriving at the bridge, when I saw the policeman's green hand signal, and immediately put the breaks both on the tender and the engine. The white light was on the signal post at this time, signifying that all was right ahead. 3, DUKE-STREET, ADELPIII.

Au important INVENTION connected with the formation of the permanent way of railway lines (which has been proved on one of the principal lines in Lancashire), is, for the satisfaction of the pa tentee, and for confirmation of its adaptation for the purposes pro posed, undergoing the severest test as to form of construction and that of strength for durability, which, when completed, a report will be published of the result of the test by a scientific gentleman of eminence. The invention will effect-1. A very considerable saving in the formation of the permanent way, by entirely superseding the use of wood Qleepers, loose chairs, treenails, and spikes. 2. The laying of the line can be accomplished a: a very diminished amount of labour and cost in comparison with the mode at present adopted. 3. The future maintenance of the permanent way may be reduced fully one-half of the present cost. A scientific report will be fur nished in a few days, and the patentee has considered it desirable to adopt this expedient to intimate to railway boards somewhat of the advantages of the invention, that railway companies about to contract for sleepers, chairs, &c., may defer such arrangements for a short period. • All communications to be addressed to Mr. Joseph Adshead, 35, George-street, Manchester. GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and. base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made. ROWL ANDS' 11ACASSAR OIL.

The witness exhibiting some doubt as to the nature of the breaks upon his engine, the Coroner expressed his surprise at the want of knowledge, whereupon the wit ness remarked that he had never driven the engine in question before, and was, therefore, not acquainted with its peculiarities. In reply to a juror, the witness said he had never driven a mail train before. He had driven passenger trains, but he could not say how many times he bad done so during the last six weeks or a month. He first heard that he was to drive the mail train at six o'clock on the Saturday night. The engine was differently constructed from that which he had before driven; it had outside cylinders instead of inside. CORONER—Did you know you were going into the siding instantly? Witness—Yes, the jerk nearly threw me off the engine. CORONER—Were you prepared, before you felt the jerk, to do all in your power to stop the train? Wit ness—Except reversing the engine; that I did within a very few yards after crossing the points—as soon, in fact, as I had recovered myself from the shock caused by the engine crossing the points. The distance from the points to the spot where the collision took place is, I believe, 547 yards. My engine was reversed before I had traversed twenty yards of this distance. CORONER—Then there was no means of stopping the train beyond those used? Witness—No. We were travelling about thirty miles an hour before I shut the steam off, and the rails being wet, there was unusual difficulty in stopping the train. CORONER—Did you communicate with the guards ? Witness—Yes; my whistle being open and my steam off was a signal for them to apply the breaks. them by the reflection e CORONER—When did you first see the coal waggons ? Witness—Not until I got close upon them. I first saw b hne f , w alone you otfo rawy unders t and o b u u l f i d r h l a a v m e p gone. CORONER — Are that h aodn rightthe two wt to points the station? Witness —W e should . CORONER—When the collision occurred, did you jump off the engine? Witness—No; but the stoker and my self retained our places. CORONER—Can you tell us what injury occurred when the collision took place? Witness—The buffer beam of the engine was broken off at both ends, and the third second-class carriage was broken up. CORONER—Did you ever have an accident occur to a traiu under your control before? Witness—Never. Edward Bradbury, fireman to the last witness on the night of the accident, deposed to having acted as stoker in the service of the North-Western Company for two years past. He had never acted as stoker to the last witness before the night in question. Manners shut off the steam and put on the whistle just before arriving at the bridge, and witness then put on the breaks. Wit ness saw the white light on the signal post, and also the green hand signal when the engine arrived close to the points. After the engine entered the siding the driver reversed the engine, and both himself and witness did all in their power to stop the train. The witness here described the effect of the collision; but his evidence on his point differed in no particular from that of the last witness. . . John William Cooper, chief guard in the service of the North-Western Company—Had been guard for seven years and nine months, and chief guard between tour and five years. Witness belonged to the Birming ham division, and took his turn in working the mail train. Left Euston station in charge of this train on Saturday the sth, at a few minutes after the stated time for departure. The train consisted of two parcel vans, four second class, five first class carriages, one mail, one post-office, two post office tenders, three parcels vans, and a guard's break-van; making in all nineteen car riages. Witness examined the train before starting, and round it all right. There were three red lights in the rear of the train, and one on the near side the post •oillice showing a white light to the rear of the train. Could not swear as to the lights on the engine and tender, as it was not part of his duty to look after them. The train left Euston-square at 8 55 r.m., arrived at Watford 9 23 rat., and Tring at ten o'clock, which was seven minutes behind time. First discovered a white light on the signal-post about a quarter of a mile on the London side of the bridge. Witness was in the break van at the rear of the train. The night was dark, and witness did not see the policeman. Witness put on the break as soon as he heard the whistle; the train was then about fifty yardsfrom the bridge. The under-guard sat on the roof of the first second-class carriage. That was ais proper position. When the train crossed the points witness thought they were travelling about 25 miles an hour. Had no doubt that had the train not been turned off into the siding, the driver would have been well able to pull up by the time he arrived at the station. Had the rails not have been wet on the night of the accident, believed the train might have been stopped before the collision took place. Every train had two guards; some times, when the trains were very heavy, three guards were attached to a train. Six guards would be able to stop the train before three guards, inasmuch as six pair of breaks must have a greater effect than three pair. The time lost at Tring had been made up before reach ing Wolverton. Witness was present when the deceased and injured parties were taken up. They were all in one carriage, which was broken up, and had, another car riage resting on it. The second carriage which mounted was lighter loaded than the 3d and 4th, and the buffers of the former might have been somewhat higher in con sequence. Had not noticed any particular variation in this respect on the night of the accident. Witness consi dered that the various lights on the mail train must have shown the policeman that it could not have been a goods train. William Frederick Smith, inspector of police for the district between Ble:chley and Roade stations, first knew Constable Fossey in December last. He had about a fortnight's tuition at the signal post before he was placed in charge of it. The signal was called the Blue-bridge signal. There were two posts, one on each side of the bridge, for up and down trains respectively. The duty of Fossey was, when he observed the mail train approach ing to signal it to the station by showing a green light on the down post, in order that the main line might be kept clear. If the signal was answered to the effect that all was right, then Fossey should go to the up signal and show a white light to the coming train, and after wards return to the down signal and show a correspond tug white light. On hearing the collision witness took up a lamp and ran towards the spot. Seeing that a dreadful accident had occurred, witness walked imme diately towards the bridge, where Fossey should have been, taking with him two other officers.

About eighty yards in the rear of the train he found Fossey. His signal lamp showed a white light at this time. Witness said to him " Good God, Fossey, what could have induced you to turn the train into the siding ?" He did not reply for an instant. Witness turned the light on his face, and he then said," I don't know ;my watch deceived me." Witness said, " What do you mean?" He replied, "She is twelve minutes before the mail" (alluding to his watch, as wit ness believed). Witness said, " Where is your watch?" He said, "In my pocket." Witness desired him to de liver it up to him, which he did. Witness then said, " Now, Fossey, you must consider yourself in my cus tody." He said, " Very well," and added, " Are there any lives lost?" Witness said, "I don't know, I hope not." He said, " Well, if no lives are lost, you may transport me as soon as you like ; send me out of the country at once, for that is just what I want." Witness said, " Whatever your feelings are, Fossey, keep them to yourself." Witness asked him whether, after the train had passed on to the siding, he had shown any signal to the guard? He said, " No, it would have been of no use." Witness then walked down the cutting with him towards the station, and just after passing the scene of the accident, he said, " I thought it was a goods train, for the lights deceived me." Witness knew that could not be the case, and said, " That is second thoughts." Fossey made no reply. Witness then gave him into custody of police-constable Millibar. Witness then went to the station clock with which he compared Fossey's watch, and found a variation of about four minutes from the station time. It was then a quarter past eleven o'clock by the station clock, and eleven minutes past by the watch. Witness subse quently assisted to bring the mail train into the station and render assistance to the injured parties. Fossey had turned on the red signal before leaving his post after the accident. Witness considered he well under stood his duty generally. On the Monday previous he had committed a mistake while on duty at the same post by turning a Liverpool excursion train into the siding. The siding was then clear of waggons, and the mistake having been observed by the man on duty at the second points, he. turned the train out on the main line again. It was then daylight. Mr. Bedford, one of our superin tendents, was in this train, and when it arrived at the station, he desired witness to go back immediately, and learn what excuse Fossey had to make for turning the train into the siding. On reaching the signal post, wit ness asked him how he came to turn the train into the siding, and he replied that he had forgotten the excur sion train. Witness asked him whether he had not got his written instructions on the subject? Ile said he had, but had forgotten them. He then went to his hut, and handed them to witness who remarked to him, " the chances are you will be reported." He said he was very sorry. Witness then left him, and subsequently in formed Mr. Bedford of what he had stated. Witness subsequently, by Mr. Bedford's direction, reported him for the neglect, and on an investigation he was ordered to be fined a shilling and severely cautioned. Notwith standing this occurrence witness still considered that Fossey knew his duty. On the night of the accident no luggage train was expected. Witness never knew a luggage train to arrive within three-quarters of an hour of the arrival of the mail train. PRICE SD. iron from Reid's father about six days before the mur der, and as to its being fetched from her husband's house by Reid the night before the murder. She added that her husband Ivid had the soldering iron for six weeks at a time, and she positively identified it from having seen it often, and also from having used it as a poker last winter. Witness met the prisoner's wife at the threshold of the door and asked her for the iron. She replied that she did not know where it was, and seemed in trouble. The prisoner was not there. About a week after the murder witness heard from Mrs. Hirst that a soldering iron had been found in a draw-well at Mirfield, and wit ness at once mentioned to Mrs. Hirst that which she had now stated to the jury. Witness did not know the pri. soner M'Cabe. Mr. Howarth, constable of Mirfield, in answer to I question from the Coroner, stated that he had no other evidence. The DEPUTY-CORONER having summed up very lu cidly and at great length, the room was cleared, and the jury remained in consultation about ten minutes. The DEPUTY-CORONER (addressing the jury) said— Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict? The Foreman (Mr. Wormald)—We have. The DEPUTY-CORONER—How do you say by your foreman that James Wraith came to his death ? The Foreman—We return a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Patrick Reid and Michael bi‘Cabe, and I think it right to state that we are unanimous. The DEPUTY-CORONER—DO you return the same verdict in the case of Ann Wraith and Caroline Ellis ? The Foreman—Yes, as to all three. The whole of the fifteen jurors then signed the three inquisitions, and the witnes s es were bound in recogni zances to appear to give evidence at the next Yorkshire assizes. Tae Deputy-Coroner subsequently delivered to Mr. Howarth, the constable, two warrants committing the prisoners to York Castle, and stated that be should also deliver a commitment to the keeper of the House of Correction at Wakefield, with whom Mr. Howarth might arrange as to the conveyance of the prisoners. The Jury were then discharged. FRII)AY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.? FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE 8, 1847.

CORONER—When did you receive this order ? Wit ness—On Friday. CORONER—Do you consider you did your duty in with holding the caution and knowledge of the fine from Fos sey? Witness—When a man is fined, wo generally stop it from his week's pay. CORONER—What is this man's weekly pay? Witness —Eighteen shillings per weeek. The men are paid on Friday mid-day. Mr. .1. M'Connell examined—l am superintendent of the locomotive department of the southern division of the London and North-Western Railway. My duty is to superintend the general management of the locomotive department, including the working of the engines. The engine to which the accident occurred is constructed on Mr. Stephenson's patent. The breaks are very easily applied to this description of engine and tender, the break being effected by two or three turns of the handle. I have examined the breaks of the tender since the accident, and find them in perfect order. We have no greater command of the engine than to apply the whole of the breaks on the tender and reverse the engine. The mode of communication between the guards and the engine-driver is by shutting off the steam and opening the whistle. This is well understood. Various inventions have been suggested to enable guards to com municate with the engine -driver, but some practical difficulty has arisen in all. The application of the break is the best mode of communication I know of at present. In fine weather it is infallible, though, when the rails are wet, it is not so secure. I do not think it would be safe to stop a train travelling at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour in a space of fifty yards, even if it were possible. Mr. M'Connell was further examined at great length. but his evidence was chiefly confined to a detail of the various means adopted to avoid accidents generally, and did not bear particularly on the case before the jury. At the close of his evidence Mr. M'Connell begged per mission to call the attention of the jury to the remark able courage displayed by the engine-driver and stoker of the train to which the accident occurred in retaining their positions on the engine even after they must have seen that a collision was inevitable. The jury unanimously expressed their high sense of the courage displayed by the individuals alluded to. Mr. Bruyeres was here called, and in explanation of the one shilling fine inflicted on Fossey, said that a few days previous to the late accident Fossey had turned an excursion train into the same siding. The circumstance was reported, but it being the first offence of which he had been guilty, and his previous character being very good, on the recommendation of Mr. Bedford, who was in the train, it was determined to reprimand him. How ever, as a record that he had been reported, in case of a second report, a nominal fine was inflicted. Had the train been a regular passenger train a different, course would have been pursued; but it was not unusual, when regular trains were coming, if an excursion came in at a walking pace, as this appeared to do, and signs were made by the driver. to turn them on to the sidings. It was therefore considered that Fossey might have made a mistake. lie was not aware until he heard it that day that the reprimand had not been communicated to Fossey, and he should certainly report this fact to the committee at their first meeting. Mr. Bruyeres here gave a lengthened description of various modes of com munication between the guards and drivers of trains, but nothing bearing on the present case came out. He agreed with with Mr. M . Connell, that the application of the break by the guard was the best method at present known. After some further proceedings of an unimportant character the inquiry was, at half-past seven o'clock, adjourned until Tuesday next. The bodies of the unfortunate deceased parties have all been removed by their respective friends for inter ment. Mr. Turner remains under the care of Mrs. Hibbert, and attended by his wife, at the Wolverton station. He is improving daily. THE TRIPLE MURDER AT MIRFIELD. COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. MIRFIELD, FalDAY.—Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the inquest on the bodies of Mr. James Wraith, Mrs. Wraith, and Caroline Ellis, their servant, who were so barbarously murdered on the 12th of May, was re sumed at the Wesleyan Methodist school-rooin, at this village, before Mr. G. D. Barker, deputy coroner. The evidence adduced was in a great measure the same as that given before the magistrates at the Dewsbury court-house on Saturday. Michael M'Cabe and Patrick Reid, the two men in custody charged with the murders, were not present. Mr. Richard Green, superintendent of the Dewsbury police, produced the razor found on the body of Mr. Wraith, a carving knife found in the same room, and a kitchen fire poker, all of which were marked with blood. He also produced the soldering iron found at the bottom of Mr. Wraith's well. Both the poker and soldering iron appeared to have been bend , td by force of blows \ against some hard substance. Mr. Green then stated that on Friday morning last week he first saw Thomas Kilty, of Daw-green, and asked him if he knew any thing about a soldering iron. He said he had been in the habit of borrowing a soldering iron at the house of the father of the prisoner, Patrick Reid, and that he believed the iron he used to borrow was Reid's father's property. Witness asked him to give a description of the iron, and he gave a correct description of it before he saw it. Witness then showed the iron to him, and he said ha was very sorry to see it again, as it was the same. Mr. Howarth was present at the time. Mr. John Howarth, constable of Mirfiell, corroborated Mr. Green's testimony as to the conversation with Kill and his identification of the soldering iron. Thomas Kitty, of Daw-green, hawker of spectacles, identified the soldering iron produced as the instrument he had frequently borrowed from the prisoner Reid's father. Witness's wife generally fetched the iron. The day before the murder the prisoner Reid took the iron away from witness's house, and witness never saw it again until it was shown to him by Mr. Green. In speak ing to various marks on the iron, the witness said he also knew it from having filed the copper end, where there was a small hole, using a fine file, six days before the prisoner Reid fetched it. By the aid of a small magnifying glass marks of a file could be seen on the end of the soldering iron. By the Jury—l have frequently been with Patrick Reid in company, and have been with him at Mirfield. On the day of the murder he came into my house and asked me where I was going that day, and I said I should not go out that day. I went hawking with him the day after the murder, and we had conversation, but nothing particular was said about the murder. I was, not with him more than half an hour in the morning of t hat day, but I saw him at Batley in the evening. He and I have always been friendly, and no one ever heard me give him a bad name before. Ido not know the pri soner WCe.bc. Katherine linty, wife of the last witness, corroborated her husband's testimony t%B to borrowing the soldering of Bankruptcy.
