SOUTH AUSTRALIA. received files of papers from South Aus middle of June. Native Council of New South Wales bas with the usual ceremonies and very con splay, and the session was likely to be an one. Mr. Boyd has imported sixty-five natives from the New Hebrides, and it a month of similar labourers might be 2m different islands of Polynesia, by the ..1 e r Juno, which Mr. Boyd was about to send. In Van Diemen's Land the anti-transportation excitement is strong, and the abolitionists seem likely to prevail. The commerce of Sydney is exhibiting new and enlarged features of health and prosperity. One in stance is remarkable :—The "Indian cargo " of the Centaur, lately arrived, contained, among numerous other products, 9,000 bags of sugar, 950 chests of tea, and 790 coils Manilla rope. A valuable discovery of coal has been made in the district of the Hunter, on Elands free from the coal monopoly. The salt of Australia Felix is pronounced equal in purity to any in the world. Public affairs and private interests are progressing satisfactorily in New Zealand; and the march of general improvement, though differing in degree and extent, is strongly marked in all the Australian colonies.

The suspension of the Bank of England could not have taken place so soon ; the sus pension of the house of Rothschilds was even more doubtful than that of the Bank, and no one anticipates the suspension of Baring, Brothers, and Co. Whatever failures take place will, without doubt, be of a similar character to those already reported. A few days will settle all doubts.

This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utterim possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Itamoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, tkereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turtling even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, haying also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every center, cleansing its roate most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in eontinuing their anneal con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of tke philanthropic views of the projectors.

ALLEGED POISONING. GRAVESEND, SATURDAY.—An inquiry, which has occupied Mr. Hinde, one of the Kent County Coro ners, and a jury, for several days, was brought to a close late last evening, at the Falstaff Inn, Gad's-hill. The deceased was a healthy woman, and on Tues day, the 19th of last month, she was delivered of a child, which is still living. Mr. Wiblin, a surgeon, residing at Stroud, attended her. He saw her on Wednesday and Thursday, and he neither saw nor heard of any, unfavourable symptoms. He considered her to be going on so well, that he did not deem it necessary to call and see her on the Friday. At this period the nurse, Ann Caush, noticed a remarkable change in her state. She retched violently, and threw off her stomach a slimy substance of different colours. Dur ing the day her mother, Mrs. Fisher, who is blind, and lives in Gravesend, visited her, and hearing the alarming turn her condition had taken, begged the husband to send for the doctor. She suffered conside rably during thenight in vomiting, and on Mr. Wiblin seeing her he found her in a state of collapse. She was apparently asleep • he touched her o n th e shoul der, and she woke. He inquired of her w h e th er s h e had any pain, and she immedi a t e ly f e ll i n t o a s t ate o f slumber. He ordered her such medicines as he deemed advisable, and saw her frequently during the day, when she appeared in the same state. Gruel seemed to have been her principal nourishment ; it was made either by the nurse or Mrs. Fisher, and it frequently happened that it was left on a hob in the adjoining room, with no one present, so that any person could mix anything in the gruel without the attendants knowing it. The nurse generally gave the unfortunate woman gruel when she required it, but the husband in the course of the night helped her to some, which she took. An hour or so afterwards, her state became more alarming. She was in a state of frenzy, and had jumped out of bed, and it required all in the house to prevent her injuring herself. Mr. Wiblin attended her. She was sensible to a cer tain extent. She complained of a burning sensa tion in the throat, thirst, sickness, and a pain in the region of the stomach. What was thought proper was given her, but she kept sinking v ery f ast during the following day, and on the next (Tuesday) morn ing she expired, at four o'clock. Previously to this, Mrs. Fisher had written to a Mr. Holmes, an ap praiser and undertaker, in the London-road Borough, London, who was uncle to the deceased, about her mysterious change, and begging that he would go down to advise her. On reaching Mrs. Fisher's re sidence at Gravesend, on Tuesday morning, Mr. Holmes found the husband of the deceased there, and heard that she was dead. Hearing the circumstance, he immediately proposed accompanying him to see the corpse. They accordingly went. As soon as the husband heard of the parish constable summoning a jury, he decamped, no one knows whither. The result of the post mortem examination of the body of the deceased Mr. Wiblin detailed at some length. Externally he saw nothing to cause death ; there was a large bruise on one hip, which was the only external mark of violence on the body, but it had nothing to do with death. Internally he found the throat much inflamed, discoloured and swollen • the stomach and int es ti nes we r e cons id e rably inflamed; there were recent ulcerations in the stomach. He took away the throat and stomach, and after ap• plying the different tests, he discovered the presence of oxalic acid. He was of opinion that deceased had died from oxalic acid. The CORONER then, at some length, summed u p the evidence, and alluded to the remarkable fact of the husband of the deceased leaving his family, his home, his business, his all, the moment an inquest was about being held. The jury consulted for a considerable time, and then found a verdict of " Wilful murder against William Brown, the husband." The Coroner having made out the usual documents, the inquiry closed. By subsequent inquiries the husband was last seen wending his way to London. The infant is still alive, but it is believed it will not live. Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S LECTURES AT DALKEITII.— On Monday evening last Mr. Buckingham delivered, in connextion with the Dalkeith Scientific Association, the first of a course of six lectures on Palestine, in the As sembly-room, White Hart -street. The lecture, which occupied nearly two hours, was listened to with deep interest, and afforded very high gratification to one of the largest audiences over assembled in connexion with the Scientific Association. Nothing could exceed the chasteness, felicity, and appropriateness of the language employed by Mr. Buckingham, the discriminating beauty of his pictures of scenery and manners, or the mellow, yet congenial and fervid, spirit of his allusions to the history of ancient Israel. Such is the interest ex cited by these lectures on 'Palestine, that it has been found necessary to look out for a larger room ; and the remainder of the course is, therefore, to be delivered in one of the chapels in Dalkeith. A subscription has been set on foot for the purpose of defraying the cost of a colossal marble statue of Nelson, which it is intended to erect in the city of Nor wich. We have been favoured with a sight of a statuette modelled by Mr. Mines, sculptor, from which the co lossal statue is to be executed; and the skill with which that gentleman has embodied the design gives us good reason to expect from the same hand a beautiful work of art worthy of England's first naval hero. The statue of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, for the new bar racks at the Tower of Lonion, is now being modelled by Mr. Milnes.—United Service Gazette. Her Majesty's brig Contest, Commander M'Murdo, has been fortunate in capturing a fine slave schooner, the Esperanza, of 120 tons (Brazilian), with 217 slaves on board. The prize has been sent to Sierra Leone. The Contest was at Loango on the 9th Aug. Five slavers had been captured in three weeks on the South Division, and three in the Bights of Benin.—United Ser vice Gazette'. The Duchess d'Aumale arrived at Toulon on the Bth with a numerous suite. She was desirous of em barking the same day, but it was believed she would pass the night on shore. The Albatros, which was to convey her to Algiers, was ready to start at a moment's notice. " The Court found the above-named prisoners severally guilty as charged, and sentenced each (two thirds of the members of the Court in every case con curring in the sentence) to be hanged by the neck until he is dead.' " The General-in-Chief approves the foregoing proceedings and sentences, with the following excep tions :—The cases of Thomas Riley, company 1,3 d infantry; James Mills, company 11, same regiment; and John Reilly, company K, sth infantry. " These three prisoners severally committed the crime of desertion as c h a rged, in the early p ar t o f April, 1846. At that date the United States were at peace with Mexico and all the world ; f or th e present war did not break out, in fact, till a later date, and was not recognised to exist by the Congress of the United States till the 13th of the following month. " No higher punishment can, therefore, be legally inflicted upon those atrocious offenders, T. Riley, J. Mills, and J. Reilly, than that prescribed for a state of peace, viz., 50 lashes with a raw hide whip well laid on the bare back of each, and their punishment is commuted accordingly, with the addition that each be branded on a cheek with the letter D, kept a close prisoner as long as this army remains in Mexico, and then be drummed out of the service. " So much of the punishment in the case of Henry Newer, company D, 4th artillery, as relates to hang ing, is, on the recommendation of many members of the Court, remitted ; and a like remission is made in the case of Edward WHeiTon, company G, same regiment, out of consideration for a son, private in the same company, who has remained faithful to his colours. " There being some slight circumstances of miti gation in the several cases of M Hezek ia.h3Aiiklllse,s,anJdohjn. Bartley, Alexander 'Kee, and John B owers , a ll of company 11, 3d artillery, their sentences ar e com - R m e u i t l e ly d aasboinve., , the cases of T. Riley, J. General Quitman had been appointed Governor of Mexico, and had received the contribution of 150,000 dollars levied upon the city. He is thus described by a correspondent of the New York Herald:— " To gallant Mississippi belongs the honour of giving to Mexico her first American Governor, and we may also add, her first wise Governor. General Scott displayed equal judgment and magnanimity in this appointment. General Quitman had the mis fortune to be excluded from the battle of Cerro Gordo and of Contreras. His brave spirit and ac knowledged military talents had met with disap pointments, which no doubt grieved his gallant soul. But in the closing scenes he availed himself of the long delayed opportunity, and covered himself with glory in the various difficult operations which preceded the occupation of the city. His admirable fitness for the Governorship of Mexico will occur to all who are acquainted with General Quitman. He is a profound jurist and elegant scholar, well read in history, and familiar with several of the modern lan guages, including, we believe, Spanish. He is, too, a cool, deliberative, firm, and most rigidly honest man. We predict that his administration will be more effec tive and successful than that of any other ruler Mexico has ever had." The new Governor occupied the palace of the late President. It seems, however, that the possession of their capital by the United States army was not quietly acquiesced in by the Mexicans, even after their army under Santa Anna had deserted it, and their own un disciplined efforts were found insufficient to resist their formidable invaders. The following general order by General Scott points to a system of covert assassination, by which we are assured that he had already lost many of his best men : " Head- quarters of the Army, Mexico, Sept. 22. " The General-in-Chief has received through many kind sources, Mexican and others, undoubted infor mation that an extensive conspiracy is on foot about us, to surprise (by means of an insurrection) our guards and quarters, and to murder our officers and men. "Mexican officers and soldiers in disguise, who had not the courage to defend their capital, are the leaders in this conspiracy, aided by some 1,500 thieves and murderers, who were turned loose for that purpose, and to prey upon the peace able inhabitants, the night before the triumphal entry of the American army into this city. " The conspirators have also the services of several false priests, who dishonour the holy religion which they only profess for the special occasion, "Until ready for the insurrection, the disguised villains hope to do us much harm in detail. Their plan is to assassinate stragglers, particularly drunken men ; to entice individuals or small parties into shops to drink, and to stab them when in their cups ; to entice our gallant Roman Catholic soldiers, who have done so much honour to our colours, to desert, under a promise of lands in California, which our arms have already conquered, and which for ever will remain a part of the United States. " Let all our soldiers, Protestant and Catholic, re member the fate of the deserters taken at Churubusco. These deluded wretches were also promised money and land; but the Mexican Government, by every sort of ill-usage, drove them to take up arms against the country and flag they had voluntarily sworn to support, and next placed them in front of the battle —in positions from which they could not possibly escape the conquering valour of our glorious ranks. After every effort of the General-in-Chief, to save, by judicious discrimination, as many of those mise rable convicts as possible, 50 of them have paid for their treachery by an ignominious death on the gallows. " Again the General-in-Chief calls on his brethren in arms, of all grades, to be constantly on the alert, by day as by night ; never to appear in the streets without side-arms •to walk out in p art i es of twos, threes, or more, and to avoid all obscu re places, par ticularly treacherous dram-shops and li quor stores.

The Mexican army, at the latest accounts, was slowly wending its way towards Queretaro. They numbered less than 3,000 men, under the command of General Herrera. Santa Anna, it was very gene rally believed, was making his way to the seaboard, for the purpose of embarking to a foreign country. Other accounts describe him as making another stand at Puebla, where, however, the American army was said to be so securely posted as to defy attack. According to the New York Herald, there was no prospect of peace. The Congress would meet at President, and it is Queretaro, with Pena y Pena as said that no s i ng l e M em ber of it would vote in fa vour of accedi ng t o th e t erms proposed by Mr. T r i s t. Th e cession of New Mexico at any rate was out of the SATURDAY, OCT. 23, 6 P.N. Quotations for all kinds of stocks are slowly but steadily settling down. There was a small panic in the street to-day, and the decline became general. At the first board Long Island fell off f per cent. ; Haarlem, ; Norwich and Worcester, j ; Canton, ; Reading Railroad, 1 ; Pennsylvania. s's, ; Illinois, 6's, ; In diana, s's, 1. Farmers' Loan and Treasury notes closed at prices current yesterday. The transactions at the decline were not very large, and there appears to be no disposition to force stocks upon the market at present prices. Many holders are under the impression that prices may go down ; but, as the decline would only be hastened and carried to a greater extent by filling the market with stock, they prefer holding on, and patiently wait for an improvement. At the second board prices rallied a little. Haarlem advanced per cent. ; Norwich and Worcester, ; Reading, 5-6 ; Farmers' Loan, I ; Long Island, if. The demand for exchange for remittance by the French steamer has been limited. The Missouri takes out a considerable amount of sil►er in five-franc pieces. Remittances of this coin are continually going on ; and the shipment of any amount is not calculated to create any fears in financial circles. It is a species of merchan dise in which there is considerable traffic. Sterling exchanges continue very quiet. Quotations have, dur ing the past week, been steadily settling down, and, as the season advances rates must rule much lower than those now current. FOREIGN EXCHANGES.

Bremen 79 —79 i Amsterdam 3n to 40 Domestic exchanges remain without any material alteration, and rates cannot be considered otherwise than nominal. It will be perceived that the balances on our domestic trade are generally in our favour. Uncurrent money is very abundant, and the brokers in the street have as much offered for redemption as the.) can conveniently take care of, and the rates eon tinue steady at our quotations. With the exception of a moderate movement in five franc pieces for shipment by the French steamer Mis souri, there is nothing of consequence doing in the precious metals. The small amounts passing to and t'rom Europe by the steamers are nothing unusual; these movements are continually going on, and have nothing to do with the regulation of exchanges. The damages to the public works of Pennsylvania from the recent freshets have been very great, and happening at this season of the year, exceedingly unfortunate. The Juniata Canal is swept from Hollidaysburg to Duncan's Island, and its embankments washed away in numerous places. Every bridge over the Juniata is carried away, and the new aqueduct above Newton Hamilton, rebuilt about two years since. In some places, it is said, that the canal is almost obliterated, and the damage such that it cannot be repaired this season. The Susquehanna division is not so seriously damaged, although there are, several heavy breaches at Duncan's Island and above it that will require some time to repair. It is expected that the repairs on this division will be made in time to allow a large amount of coal to be taken to market before the close of the navigation. The water in the Susquehanna at Harrisburg was 17 feet above low-water mark, about 4 feet lower than the great flood of March, 1846. The receipts of the Old Colony Railroad for the week ending Oct. 16th, were 3,623 dollars 63 cents, being 1,157 dollars 88 cents more than for the corresponding week in 1846. The directors of the Galena and Chicago Railroad ac knowledge subscriptions to the amount of 250,000 dolls. When the subscriptions shall amount to 400,000 dollars, we understand the operations will bo commenced. SUNDAY, OCT. 24, 6 r.st. Since the arrival of the steam-ship Cambria from Liverpool the stock market has been very unsettled ; prices for stocks bare been steadily settling down, and there appears to be no disposition to engage in 'any very extensive operations, either in stocks or merchandise. We do not expect to see any improvement in financial or commercial matters until more favourable intelligence is received from Europe, and we can hardly look for anything of that kind for some weeks, or perhaps months. The next arrival from England will, without doubt, give us another long list of failures, and the effect upon this market will be similar to that experi enced upon the arrival of the last packet. No fears are entertained that we shall be drawn much deeper into the difficulties which surround the commer cial classes of England ; but the relations. of the two countries are so intimate that we musts be indi rectly affected by the ruin which is spreading so rapidly over Great Britain. If the effect goes no furtiaer than the destruction of confidence in our own market e lit is of every serious nature, but it must go even beyond. that. There is no doubt but that we have been seriosts sufferers in a pecuniary point of view ; that we have lost millions of dollars and may lose more ; and that o ar trade with that country must for a time be seriously restricted, prices of our products seriously reduced, and the demand seriously reduced in extent. These things cannot but have a very important influence upon the commercial classes of the country, and must tend to the contraction of our foreign trade to a great extent. All these things may be rea lised to the extent many anticipate, but we do not look for such results, unless almost an univorrial state of bank ruptcy takes place in Europe ; unless the failures reach a different class of concerns to the so already reported, and the real interests and the most substantial portions of the people of that country bee otne affected by the financial embarrassments of the times. The suspension of a hundred or two of the mercantile firms of England, who have for so mian y years been in a state of bankruptcy, will not have any - :material influence upon this country, and the effect thy re cannot but be temporary, and the result will be exce edinely beneficial to the world at large. The artificial,, fictitious, rotten system of credit which has existed for so many years in London has given a position in the commercial world to many houses which has enabled tiler a to carry on an immense business, independent of asa:s actual capital, and to extend their operations into ev( my corner of crea tion, and involve themselves in imn tense speculations. depending entirely upon bank facil Ries to carry out their plans. The downfal of these concerns, and their extermination from the commercial world, must ulti mately ;have a very favourable infl .uence upon com mercial affairs generally. The first c fleet of these sus pensions could not be otherwise than r lisastrous; a com mercial revulsion to any extent, from , , :any cause, pro duces at first a panic, and for some tii no after a distrust and a loss of confidence, which for a. ti me exerts a de pressing influence upon all classes; bi it as soon as the shock has passed over--as soon as the, :rotten concerns have been cleared out, a healthy rea , stion takes place, and the recovery, although slow, is stir e nod steady. We look upon the revulsion in England, • which at the last accounts were in full blast, in this ligh •t, toad the result will be similar to that predicted. We have heretofore found the best markets for our most important staple productions in Gr ea t Britain, and whatever tends to cramp or cripple that demand is, of course, for the time, a great evil. Our co tton has been the most important raw material one c ow itry ever fur nished another. The industry of England , has depended upon it, and her wealth has been increaser 1 enormously by the addition of that industry to the first cost. It has given employment and subsistence to mit !ions of her people, and afforded an important item of t. ansportation to the commercial marine of that counts y. England has been such an important customer fel • this staple, that all others have been made subservient, and we have been, in a measure, controlled in prices by Li se will of her manufacturers. It therefore appears plain. t that whatever affects the demand for this staple in Fee l ;land affects prices in this country; and if the meintr ifacturers of Europe curtail their operations we mist reduce the supply of the raw material. It does not, has wever, follow that the consumption of cotton is reduced: fin proportion to the reduction in the demands from the x aanufacturers of Great Britain. A demand for the raw material springs up in other sections. and the markets of the world are supplied from ( ether sources. If the manufacturers of Great Britain w 'ark short time, and consume one third less cotton than t usual, the sup ply of manufactured goods from that source becomes reduced, and the consumption must b e supplied from other sources, or reduced to a corres ponding extent. Notwithstanding the deficiency in the harvests of Eu rope generally, the masses have been i n a very prospe rous condition, and have been in a position to consume these fabrics as largely as usual, and tl se demand in the aggregate has doubtless been as l arge , as usua l . I t i s , therefore, a very important question with those coun tries which have hitherto imported so , largely of British cotton manufactures, what increase there has been in their domestic supply, and what T mogress they have made in the establishment of manufi ic t or i es w ithi n their own limits. The United States ha re progressed won derfully in this element, and anytl Ling tending to de press the manufacturing industry of England gives a great impetus to it in this country. We have no returns showing the actual increase in this ' branch, but we have no doubt it has been a very lar so per cent. A few years will suffice, at the rate we hi. ive, adva nce d w ithi n the past few years, to place us in. 3e pendent of Great Britain, not only for supplies of m r,l mfactured goods, but for markets for the raw materiat Wall-street has for a day or two been considerably agitated by the announcement mad e that a letter had been received from a former Goveri for of the Bank of England, predicting a p an i c i n tb e commercial and financial circles of G rea t B r i ta i n, sr ion after the sailing of the packet of the sth inst., the) would ruin some of the most extensive houses in the V .ingdom.

By he Fanny, Captain Wheeler, arrived at Glo cester, we learn the particulars of a most distressing shipwreck with loss of life, off St. Ann's light. Cap tain Wheeler arrived at Glocester on Friday, and brought with him two men whom he had picked up, and who were part of the crew of the brigantine Dadden, of London. Captain Wheeler's attention was first excited when off Milford, by seeing several bundles of cork floating in the water. As it was evident that some vessel laden with that article of commerce had foundered, he kept a look out, and after a while saw the body of a man lashed to some of the bundles. He made towards him and picked him up alive, but in a dreadfully exhausted state. The poor fellow informed him that he was the mate of the Dadden, of London, from Faro, in Portugal, with a cargo of cork ; that the vessel had suffered severely from heavy gales, and for four or five days and nights the crew had been working hard to keep her afloat ; when at last, on Monday night, she foundered about 10 miles west of St. Ann's light, and the captain and his wife went to the bottom with the vessel ; that the crew,'five in number, finding the brigantine breaking up, got on the cork which was floating near the ship, and in a few minutes afterwards the bri gantine sunk ; that the poor fell ows th en l ashed themselves to he bundles of cork, and remained at the mercy of the waves during the night, being near enough to hear each other speak for some hours ; but after about two o'clock in the morning the mate heard no more of his miserable companions. He, however, requested Captain Wheeler to look out for them, and see if any of them were left alive. The search was in consequence continued, and in about half an hour he discovered another poor fellow about half a mile to the eastward, bore down to him, and took him on board. The poor fellow was in a deplo rable state, having no clothes on but his drawers and flannel shirt; his naked feet were bleeding as if from the bites of a fish, and he was nearly insensible from exhaustion. Both the sufferers had been floating in the water for sixteen hours. Captain Wheeler, with niuch humanity, continued to tack about among the cork during the whole day until night, but he saw nothing of the three other men, who, like the captain and his wife, no doubt perished. The two whom he bad taken on board he supplied with clothes from his own wardrobe, and by the administration of warm cordials succeeded in restoring them and bringing them safe to Gloucester. The two men saved belong, one to Liverpool and the other to Portsmouth. SINGULAR SUICIDE AT SEA. The master of the ship Confidence, just arrived at this port, has commun i ca t e d to us an account of an extraordinary and determined act of self-destruction, which occurred on board that vessel while on her voyage from Malta. The unhappy individual who committed the unfortunate deed was a young man, named James Rowell, who had hired a passage from that island to England. lie appeared to be a person of respectable rank, and was supposed to be on his return from foreign travel. On the second night at sea after leaving, it blew severely, and he came on deck to enjoy the cool air, where he continued walk ing and smoking excessively, against the advice of the captain, who warned him from indulging too freely in that, practice in so warm a temperature. Meanwhile he seemed observant of the sailors, and gave some directions about the trim of the vessel, which were not attended to. In the morning the captain asked him to take some coffee near the wheel, and he complied with the invitation ; but as they were seated he complained of the oppressive heat, and rose to put off his coat, which he placed near him, and then instantly jumped over the taffrail into the water. " I'm off," he was heard to cry in the act of making the leap. The helm was immediately put down, and the ship brought round, while he continued to swim away from her. It is stated that he possessed unusual ex pertness in the water, and did not seem in the least to suffer from exhaustion or fright. The mate ran to the rail and called out to him to come towards the vessel, but he did not appear to heed the voice, and after a few moments he clasped his hands above his head and sunk. The only cause that could be con jectured for this melancholy act is, that probably the stimulating effects of the smoking and coffee, in which he had indulged, aggravated by the heat of the cli mate, had,momentarily disturb e d hi s reason. The de ceased is described as about 21 years of age, fair haired, and of fine personal appearance. It may assist towards the discovery of his friends, to state that while on board the vessel he seemed to be familiar with the city of London. In reporting the occurrence, the master, whose name is Smith, desires it to be added, that his box has been left at the Custom-house of this city, in order that !his friends may be able to recover his personal property. Deceased had also informed him that more of his luggage had been shipped in the schooner Jane, from Corfu.—Cork Examiner. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE TEWKESBURY BRANCII RAILWAY.—TEWKESBUR Y , FRIDAY.—An inquest was held here yesterday, before the coroner for this borough, on the body of Thomas Price, a porter at the Tewkes bury Railway station, who came to his death under the following circumstances :—The deceased was in the act - of mounting the break just as a train was leaving the Tewkesbury station, when, from some cause or other, not clearly ascertained, he got jammed between one of the trucks and the stone archway opening into the street, and the space between the truck and the archway being not more than seven or eight inches in width, he was crushed so dreadfully that he died shortly after the occurrence. It should be explained that the Tewkes bury Railway is a single line of some two or three miles only in length, being a branch of the Bristol and Bir mingham line, which it joins at Ashchurch station. The line runs into the centre of the town of Tewkesbury, the station being on the east side of the main street, which fis crossed on a level by luggage waggons conveying goods to the river Severn. The station is approached front Ashchurch by an incline, which renders it highly dangerous, and not many months ago a train overshot the station, and ran across the street, though providen tially without injuring any person. The jury on the above inquiry returned a verdict of " Accidental death," but appended the following recommendation : " We are of opinion that the gateways of the station and yards, and of the archway next the high-street, which do not allow sufficient room for a man to walk between the carriages on the line and the wall, are much too narrow ; and that the safety of the public, as well as of the company' s e rvants, imperatively requiresth e rail that at t h t e h y o shouldstatstation beingbe widened. in W cl e in a e l i s s o at causehink that greatat danger, and should, if possible, be altere d.
