Vottrp. TO ELIZA M. N. (For the Liverpool Standard.) I ride on the curl of the dancing spray ; I ride on the foam, where the waterfowl play ; I ride on the surge of the swelling sea ; And my home is the ocean—the home of the free! The laugh of the tempest, and roar of the gale, That sweep with destruction the bill and the dale, But serve to enhance with a holier zest The excitement that glows in the mariner's breast. Though short-lived and empty our pleasures may seem, As the waves of a lake 'neath the summer sun's beam ; Yet, sweet in existence. and rapt'rous in birth, They more than outbalance the pleasures of earth. When clouds with their blackness o'ershadow the sky, And nought but a wild foaming waste meets the eye ; When over the top of the storm-riven flood, Our bark with her airy wings chases the scud ; To stand 'mid the hurricane's roar on the deck, And calmly command 'mid the waters' white wreck ; 0 ! where upon earth is there any such bliss ? 0 ! where is the happiness equal to this? There is yet a joy beyond all I have told, Worth oceans of coral-groves, pearl-beds, and gold, In the kiss and the smile, and the glowing embrace, That welcome the rover's return from the chase. Then wake thee, Eliza! 0 wake thee, my love! And speed from your bow'r, dear, swift as the dove ; For e'en ere the morning dawn, courting the breeze, Your lover must hasten to roam o'er the seas. I woo not like landsmen, with words fair and sweet, Whose promises, light as the driving scud, fleet ; But I woo with that ardour a mariner knows, Whose soul with attachment and interest glows. Then awake thee, Eliza! and hasten with me, And to-morrow we'll roam o'er the boundless sea ; Where apart from this world, and apart from its guile, We'll live in affection and love's beaming smile. Liverpool, Nov. 12, 1840. A. M. N. LINES ADDRESSED TO THE REV. HUGH STOWELL (For the Liverpool Standard.) Courage, thou soldier of the cross! Not yet the work is done ; Fear not their close and dark'ning ranks, The field shall yet be won! Bind hope's bright helmet on thy brow, Gird on the Spirit's sword, And go, go forth to victory, Thou servant of the Lord ! Thy haughty fog shall fall, when they Behold thy girdle bright; Their blinded eyes can not endure Truths flashing, vivid light. Harmless behold their darts recoil From off thy polished shield ; To Him who nerves thy giant arm The proudest foe must yield. Yet rest not, for not yet to blood, Soldier hast thou striven ; Be thine the martyr's fiery zeal, And thine the martyr's Heaven. For sooner than our blessed land Should crouch 'neath Rome's dark reign, The stake shall flame, the life-blood flow From many a British vein. Oh ! many a prayer ascends For thy high cause and thee : Warrior, go forth! and may thy God Lead thee to victory ! G. E. M. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. ARREST FOR DEBT. (From.the Times.) Arrest for debt on mesne process having now been abolished by act of Parliament, we are not surprised to find the public expecting as a consequence the aboli tion of imprisonment in execution. The Commis sioners for inquiring into Bankruptcy and Insolvency recommend this abolition in their report (p. 26), and to such a measure (as part of their general plan, and particularly in connection with their proposal of a new and speedily enforceable act of bankruptcy by default of the debtor to pay or secure the deist on summons) we incline to assent, provided that all the debtor's means of every description, whether he be a trader or not, be made available to his creditors, without any ex emption of half-pay or pension, or debts owing to him, or property in Ireland, or in the colonies, and so reci procally. (See the evidence of Sir F. W. Myers, pp. 131 to 141.) The only property which the law could not be made to reach is what the debtor may possess in any foreign country ; and if, having foreign pro perty, he refuse to apply it to the payment of his debts here, his case may be very fitly left under the law of imprisonment in execution, on the same principle on which the general exemption from arrest on mesne process is withheld from a debtor attempting to go abroad. All that can be done for the creditors is to secure to them the whole of his remaining property : when this is effected (as in general it might be through the speedy act of bankruptcy proposed in lieu of the arrest on mesne process), there is no further fruit to be obtained from the imprisonment; but until the le gislature ensure justice by the introduction of an im mediately enforceable act of bankruptcy, and by the extension of the creditor's remedy to the whole of the debtor's property, it is plain that the law of imprison- Ment in execution cannot be abrogated with safety. Nor under any circumstances would we place the dis honest debtor, whether in or out of trade, beyond the reach of some penal power of imprisonment like that now exercised by the Court of Insolvency. Of this we shall have occasion to speak more precisely in its proper place, as being an imprisonment rather for pu nishment, which is example, than for debt. And the same principle will apply to a suggestion of Mr. S. Batchelor, solicitor (p. 503), for leaving the law of im prisonment to take effect " in cases of crim. con. and cases provided for by the new act for abolishing arrest on mesne process. —See 1 and 2 Victoria, c. 110, s. 78. On the whole, condemning as we do the paltry, po pularity-hunting policy, which abolished arrest on mesne process without providing any tantamount re medy to the creditor, we yet decidedly wish to see the abolition of imprisonment in execution. The late Mr. Raincock, an eminent barrister on the northern circuit, says neatly and truly, "arrests pay debts—gaols do not."—(P. 380.) The following passage too, of the evidence given by Mr. P. Johnson, one of the official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy, has great weight :—"The average number of insolvencies for the last three years is upwards of four thousand per an num; the debtors, on an average, spend more than 40s. a week in gaol, and, I suppose, 30s. for their fa milies. To raise these sums property belonging to the creditors, to more than double the amount, must be sacrificed; and if only six weeks are reckoned for each insolvent, the property thus sacrificed would amount to £42 each, or £168,000 per annum. If you add to this the lost wages of the debtor to society while in prison at 30s. a week, and the prison expenses to the county, the amount will be nearly £250,000 per an num."—(P. 194.) But this is not all. There must be added to the account the costs of the creditor in obtaining his judg ment, and the costs of the debtor in obtaining his dis charge from the Court of Insolvency. It appears, on a return made from that court (Report, p. 23), that the number of persons imprisoned in town and coun try during the 14 months which intervened from the Ist of October to the Ist of December in last year was 3,905. Out of this number of cases, dividends were paid in only 199. and 361 were remanded, " whilst in the remaining 3,345 cases the costs of proceeding to judgment, taken at the estimate of £2O for each action (which would be a low estimate for actions in the su perior courts), would have amounted to £66,900. It appears that the minimum expense attending the dis charge of an insolvent is five guineas, and if £6 be taken as a low average, £20,070 would have been ex pended by the 3,345 debtors above-mentioned in pro curing their discharge ; adding this to the £66,900 expended in putting them into prison, £86,970 would appear to have been unprofitably consumed in the above period of 14 months." If 14 months would have produced this loss, one year must have produced a loss of about £74,545, which, being added to the £250,000 computed by Mr. P. Johnson, gives a total damage to the country of almost £325,000 per annum. It is true that imprisonment in execution has some times the effect of inducing payment from the families and friends of the debtor; but it is scarcely possible to approve this pressure upon the feelings of persons not being the parties to whom the credit was given. Young people indeed, at college, and elsewhere, are sometimes supplied with goods on the credit of their friends ; but, except as relates to those necessaries for which the law makes parents liable, it is obvious that instead of protecting, at the expense of relatives, those ' tradesmen who lead young people into extravagance by facility of credit, the legislature should in every possible way discourage such creditors, for the pur pose of preventing such credits. "Where the debtor has arrived at an age at which he may fairly be pre sumed to be dealing upon his own means, and not merely relying upon the responsibility of his friends, we do not, we confess, entertain the hope that the abolition of the remedy of imprisonment will produce any very great increase of caution among the creditor classes. We do not apprehend that amidst the hot competition of trade so remote a consideration can ever have much force in withholding shopkeepers from executing orders. But certainly so long as im prisonment in execution be suffered to remain, we shall not have given to this check its fair trial. When the law shall have completely abrogated the power over the debtor's person, by abolishing the final as well as the original imprisonment, then it will be, if at all, that the caution of the creditor will be brought fairly into exercise. It has been objected, say the commissioners, that if the power of arrest in execution shall be taken away, the burden and risk of realizing the debtor's property will be thrown upon the creditor instead of the debtor himself. But to this they conclusively answer, that if it he desirable to leave the realization of his property to the debtor, he is likely to effect it more profitably when at liberty than within the walls of a prison. The effect of confinement, according to the evidence of the keepers of the prisons, as given before, thatthe Commission on the Courts of Common Law, is debtors speedily begin to feel the contaminating influ ence of the gaol. To that evidence the present rep ort refers, adding this cogent remark, with which we con elude our observations upon the question o f imprison. ment for debt ;—;`There are in tile prisons individuals connected with the law, who, having been disgraced and fallen from .their station, instantly tale pains to become acquainted with every new comer, with a view to teach him how to defraud his creditors. The result is, that debtors who really had the inclination, but wanted the means, to satisfy their debts, are led to form a determination not to pay even if they should be able, but rather to remain in prison for the number of days that the law affixes as the penalty. This contamina tion is one of the causes of the demoralization of the lower classes in the metropolis, and of preparing for crimes which swell our criminal calendar." (Page 25.) FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. [ln a fourth edition of the STANDARD of Friday we put our readers in possession of the occurrence of the above me lancholy accident, and we are now able to furnish the follow ing additional particulars.] (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) We regret to have to record the occurrence of an accident on the York and North Midland Railway, in the immediate vicinity of the village of Monk and Frystone, and about fif teen miles from Leeds. We announced last week that in consequence of the leasing of the Leeds and Selby line of railway to the York and North Midland Company, all the passenger trains from Leeds to Hull, as well as those to York, would be despatched from the North Midland Comjany's station in Hunslet-lane, on and after Monday last. This new arrangement led to several changes in the plan by which a continuous succession of en gines was kept up on different parts of the line. In conse quence of this the York and North Midland Company have projected a new station, about half a mile from the village of Monk Frystone, and nearly the same distance from South Milford, at the point where the branch which connects the York and North Midland line with the Leeds and Selby lino, on the south side, branches off in an easterly direction. At this point a general stoppage of all the trains takes place, the engine which draws the carriages from Leeds for York and Hull, for instance, leaving those for the latter place at this new station, to be taken forward by the engine which may bring the carriages from Hull from York and Leeds. It was at this point that the accident took place. It ap pears that the usual passenger train for York and Hull left Leeds on Wednesday evening at six o'clock, there being six carriages, or one of each description for each town, and that it was followed in about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour afterwards by a goods train for York. The passenger train arrived at the junction in due course, and the customary changes were in progress when the goods train from Leeds bore up, and for want of keeping a good look-out, came upon the passenger train from Hull with a most tremendous crash. Two of the three carriages for Hull, which had been detached from the engine and train that was about to proceed to York, were dreadfully shattered, and precipitated down a short de clivity of about six feet. The passengers were squandered in all directions. _ _ . One young man was killed on the spot, his head having been dreadfully crushed, and his brains dashed upon the ground. An elderly woman had her right arm and left hand nearly severed off, and she only lingered till the train reached Selby. Several persons had their legs or arms broken or were otherwise much injured, but we have been unable to ascertain the names of the sufferers or the nature of the injuries, in many cases. The name of the young man who was killed on the spot was Henry Pattinson, a printer, in Commercial-street, Leeds. He was about 22 years of age, and has left a widow with one child. He was immediately identified by some address cards found in his pocket, he having left home for Hull on busi ness. Immediately after the accident, his mutilated body was conveyed to the Blue Bell Inn, at Monk Prystone, kept by Mrs. Grace Ramsden. On Thursday afternoon, at two o'clock, an inquest was held on the body of Pattinson, at the Blue Bell, before Matthew Pearson, Esq., of Selby, the nearest coroner, and a respectable jury. The father of the deceased attended for the purpose of identifying his son's remains, and to receive the coroner's warrant for their interment. The head of the deceased pre sented a shocking spectacle, having been squeezed quite out of shape, and his face dreadfully shattered and elongated. His lower lip was severed by a deep gash, on the left side, quite down to the front of the chin. His eyes presented the appearance of having been crushed out, and there were marks on the forehead as if the bones of the skull had in several places protruded, the nose being turned to the right side. His left hand was broken, and also his right arm, near the shoulder. One of the persons employed on the line by the company then gave a brief statement of the circumstances connected with the death of the deceased ; and the inquiry, which was attended by several of the directors from York, and Mr. Richardson, one of the solicitors to the company, was ad journed to yesterday morning, at nine o'clock. The poor woman who was so much mutilated was named Sarah Cussans, and resided at Hambleton, about three miles from Selby, to which place she was. going with her son-in law. She was the widow of the late William Cussani, of that place, shoemaker, and was about 45 years of age. She died immediately after the arrival of the train at Selby, and an inquest was held on her remains in the forenoon of Thurs day, before Matthew Pearson, Esq., and was adjourned to Tuesday nest. A lady who had her right leg broken, just above the ancle, was brought back to Leeds, and has been since remaining at the Royal Hotel. Her name is Mrs. Atkinson, from Liver pool, and we understand she was travelling in the gold and silver lace and fringe trade. The accident, as we have stated, took place whilst the train was waiting for an engine to be attached to convey it to Selby. A young man, a gentleman named Stephenson, and another gentleman, were seated in a second class carriage. The young man having the curiosity to look out, remarked that an en gine was approaching upon the same line as that on which the carriages were standing ; whereupon Mr. S. and the other gentleman opened the door and got out ; but before the young man found time to follow them, the concussion took place. It was over in an instant, and the identical car riage of which we are speaking was crushed to pieces ; but the young man received no injuries worth naming . Upon alighting, which he did immediately, he found a lady lying at his feet, and instantly rendered her what assistance he could. It is believed that her injuries amounted to little more than the putting out of an uncle, and she was able to proceed to Sherburn. On the other side of the carriage lay the widow Cussans, bleeding profusely : she had lost a hand, and her head was much hurt. Another young gentleman was very dangerously hurt : he also was conveyed to, and left at Selby. The concussion was heard at a considerable distance. The greatest alacrity was displayed by the neighbours, some of whom, who stated they were half a mile off when it occur red, arrived on the spot almost as soon as the passengers themselves had time to look round them. The less serious cases were confided to the medical men in the village of Shel burn, those of greater consequence were removed to Selby. The occurrence took place very shortly "before seven o'clock : it was moonlight, and the moon was at full two days previously ; but we believe it was rather overcast at the time, the fog with which the evening set in not having then yielded to the frost which succeeded. It is probably to this circumstance that the accident is to be attributed ; and we understand that the usual coloured light was hung in the rear of the train, and ought to have been observed by the advancing engine driver. It is also stated, that when the engine driver did observe the lights, seeing that he was close upon them, he signalised the guard to apply the brake; but, unfortunately, too late to prevent the fatal mischief. The driver of the goods train is named Cuddy, or Cud worth Watkin : he is stated to be about sixty years of age, and to be a man of some experience, having been in the employ of the company from the commencement of their running. Immediately after the wounded persons had been provided for, a number of men were summoned from the neighbouring villages, to assist in raising the shattered carriages upon the tram road again. This was accomplished by about three o'clock, and at daylight there was no appearance of any thing particular having occurred. ANOTHER FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. DETENTION OF THE LONDON MAIL. [The following brief notice was inserted in a Second Edi tion of the STANDARD on Friday, to which is subjoined some additional particulars, from a Metropolitan contemporary.] An accident occurred last night on the London and Bir mingham Railway, at a place called Harrow, about 18 miles from the metropolis, which, we regret to say, terminated in the death of two men, and in the destruction of property to a very considerable value. It appears that a luggage train was on its way from Birmingham to London, about six o'clock, at a moderate speed, when it was overtaken by an engine without any accompanying train. The night being somewhat dark, it is supposed the engineers could not see the luggage train : a collision took place, which shivered se veral of the luggage waggons, and totally destroyed the en gine. The engine attached to the luggage train was so much damaged that it will scarcely be fit for use again. We lament to say, that two men, who had the care of the engine which caused the concussion, were killed on the spot. One of them was taken up immediately afterwards, but the other was buried beneath the ruins of the broken waggons and ongine, and some time elapsed before he could be extri cated. Information of this accident was conveyd to London, and the mail train, which should have left Euston-square at half past eight was detained till a quarter-past nine, in order to afford time for the line to be cleared. When the train, how ever, arrived at Harrow, it was again detained for an hour and three quarters, the clearing of the rails occupying that time. A gentleman who was a passenger by it, and from whom we have have received this information, states that whilst the train was waiting, .the second man, who had not been extricated before, was released, his body found crushed to such a degree that it was impossible to distinguish his features. In consequence of this accident the mail to this town was four hours beyond its ordinary time. (From the Morning Herald of Saturday.) ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Harrow, Friday night, Eight o'clock. The lamentable occurrence on the line of the London and Birmingham Railway, which was announced in this journal of yesterday, took place on Thursday evening, near Har row, has, it is to be regretted, turned out to be too true, and has involved a sacrifice of human life. The following, col lected on the spot, may be relied on as accurate, although they are not the official statements of the company. This morning, on our informant reaching Harrow by the nine o'clock train, he was allowed by the railroad autho rities, after making his business known, to go over the place where the accident on the previous evening occurred, and from some of the sufferers, and others who witnessed the accident, the subjoined particulars were elicited. About half-past two on Thursday afternoon, the fast luggage train which carries no passengers, with the excep tion of the guards and the engineer and stoker, arrived at the Harrow station, situate about a mile and a half from the town. It did not stop, but continued on its course towards London, at the rate of about 25 miles per hour. As it passed the station all appeared right, but on getting about two miles ie from the stati on , one o f t h e ax l e - trees b e l ong ing to one of waggons broke, an d th rew severa l o f them off the line, the luggage being strewed about in all directions on both lines of rails. A short di ( s No. tance ls f;ro m where this occurrence happened a pilot enginewas seen approaching. It was stopped, and the down line having been cleaved of the luggage it was harrow despatched to the station, the engine driver receiving , from u tir instructions to stop the three mingham, passenger trains nearly due one train, from Binning -viz. the twelve o clock from Aylesbury, and the half-past the two o'clock, thatha ni , purpose, until the a down adt b e trains do wn had tra i passed. aanscr asaise d as usual as well as fi A ve number x o men were then set and the The engine left for mlla r d o e k d en to fr w ag as ments passedthose coming up. after. The o'clock down trains o tof work the waggons , in removing while th t e h e luggage engine above t. r o a em ployed in conveying directions to and queen's and lL procure was the station. A few minutes after six o'clock a message Arms, near given to the engine driver to proceed to the Harrow station some refreshment from Mr. Seals, the the station, for the men at work in clearing the r l r ' n did so, and left the engine whilst he went to the tianveeFnliine charge of the stoker, named Pilkington. During the driver's absence Pilkington got off the engine, and whilst engaged in talkin g to a porter belonging to the railway a cry was raised that the 7 o'clock Birmingham luggage train was appoachin g It was expected, as will be seen from the fact, that a police man had been sent half a mile down the line to warn the dri vers of the engines, there being two, as the train was a heavy one ; but from the fog which prevailed at the time, or some other cause, no notice appeared to be taken, and on it came at its usual rate to the station. The stoker of the Pilot engine hearing the beating of those attached to the approaching train, set the former moving, but seeing the danger he jumped off, and escaped. Instantly after the fore most engine of the train dropped in upon the Pilot with frightful violence, and drove it under the Harrow-road bridge before it at a tremendous rate. The foremost engine of the train was numbered 1, and the second No. 82. strange as it may appear. the foremost engine escaped without injury, but the latter was thrown off the line, and coming in violent contact with the pier of the bridge above alluded to, was dashed completely over on to the other side, carrying away several feet of the brickwork, and dashing several of the carriages to atoms. For some time, owing to the escape of steam from the engine, the boiler having been broken in, it was impossible to ascertain the extent of damage and loss of life sustained, as the engine and carriages lay all of a heap across the line. Torches were procured, and on an examination, the body of the driver of No. 82 engine, Simpson, was found in a frightfully mutilated condition un der the train. The stoker of engine No. 1 was found em bedded in the earth under the wheels of that engine, and the stoker of No. 82 lying in the drain at the termination of the cutting, apparently lifeless. He was removed to the Queen's Arms Tavern, where Mr. Hewett, surgeon, of Harrow, at tended and pronounced such not to be the case, but his in juries are so severe as to preclude his recovery. The driver of the engine No. 1, who escaped, states he received no signal of danger until within a short distance of the station, when be saw the red light. He was then close upon the Pilot en gine, but did not observe it. He, however, shut his steam off and reversed his engine, but finding the driver of No. 82 did not do the same, he thought it expedient to jump off, thinking a collision inevitable, and had scarcely done so when it took place. His stoker also put on the brake, and must have perished whilst doing so. The line presented a most dilapidated appearance, the rails were torn up in some parts, and it was completely rendered impassable for several hours, which impeded the progress of five trains. That due at eight o'clock on Thursday evening, did not reach Euston-grove until half-past one yesterday morning, and the others followed in such succession as pre cautiondemanded. Yesderday afternoon, at half-past four, a special train ar rived at Harrow, containing several of the directors and Sir Frederick Smith, the engineer appointed by Government to inspect railways, in order to investigate the matter; when the above statements were made in presence of our reporter. Sir Frederick Smith made a minute inspection of the engine and line at the spot where the collision took place, and shortly after Mr. Wakley, the coroner, who had been holding an in quest at Harrow, also inspected the spot where the catastro phe took place. During the confusion of shifting the car riages from line to line we regret to state that one of the porters was also seriously injured by getting jammed in be tween them. The bodies of the two 'deceased men, who are natives of Worcester, lie at the Queen's Head, to await a coroner's in quest. The destruction of property is estimated at several thousand pounds. THE ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. (From the Morning Herald of yesterday.) ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE BODIEST_OF THE SUFFERERS. BIRMINGHAM, Saturday Night.—The adjourned inquest on the bodies of Rutherford and Scaife; the two unfortunate men who were killed at the Bromsgrove station of this rail way on Tuesday last, by the bursting of an engine boiler, particulars of which appeared in the Herald of Friday and, Saturday last, was resumed at the Golden Cross, Broms grove, on Friday evening. Mr. G. Whateley, solicitor, was in attendance on the part of the company, and Mr. J. Raw lins, of Temple-row, Birmingham, attended on the part of the proprietor of the engine. Mr. Creuze, the engineer of locomotives on the Birming ham and Gloucester Railway, was re-examined on some im portant points connected with the manufacture of engine boilers, and the practicability of ascertaining their soundness and strength after they had left the hands of the maker. He stated that in his opinion it was impossible for an engineer to determine the thickness of the plates of iron of which a boiler was made after it had been sent home, although men engaged in the manufacture of boilers might possibly be able to do so. He then produced several pieces of iron which he had cut out of the four plates of which the inner tube of the boiler was formed. One of these pieces was very nearly three-eighths of an inch in thickness ; two other pieces, cut from a second and third plate, measured about one-fourth of an inch ; and two other pieces of the iron which had been cut from the plate, the bursting of which had been the imme diate cause of the lamentable occurrence, measured only three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness. This plate, it ap pears, was situated farthest from the fire-door, and conse quently would have been much more difficult to examine than any of the other plates. The thickness of the several plates of which the boilers were formed might be tested by cutting out pieces of the iron, or by drilling holes in different parts. Such precautions were, however, never adopted, un less in cases where there existed some special cause to suspect defects in the manufacture ; but where the boiler was made by a respectable manufacturer much dependence would ne cessarily be placed upon him by the engineer, and no such precautions would be thought necessary, and in this case would have been useless as the parts where it could have been tested were of a proper thickness. Mr. Creuze then proceeded to state that a great quantity of rubbish, such as had been exhibited on the inquest the preceding day, had been since found to have been in the boiler at the time the explosion took place. It consisted of bits of iron screws, plugs, and boiler-makers tools, which he had no doubt had been left there by the workmen engaged in its manufacture. A portion of cement was also found, such as is used in caulking and filling up any imperfections in the jointing of the plates. In answer to a question by Mr. Rawlins the witness said that there existed no greater facility for ascertaining the thickness of the plates (unless by the method he had already mentioned) immediately after the manufacture of the boiler than immediately prior to the accident. It was impossible to ascertain the real thickness of the iron by examining the edges of the plates that overlapped each other, as it was the practise of some workmen to " champer off" the edges, while others " up-set " them, making them, by the latter process, appear thicker than they were in reality. Dr. Church, the manufacturer of the engine, was next ex amined, and described the peculiarities in which the engine differed from other locomotives. One peculiarity consisted in the construction of the fireplace, and another in the position of the tubes which were vertical. Coroner.—Did you conceive that the adoption of this prin ciple gave greater security to the boiler ? Dr. Church—Most decidedly, as the diameter of the fire box was less than in the ordinary locomotive boilers. Another important improvement, in his opinion, was, that the fire bars were so situated that they could be cleared without diffi culty of the " clinkers" that accumulated, which was not the case in the ordinary boilers. In consequence of this facility for clearing the bars they were placed much nearer to each other, and thus a considerable saving was effected in the con sumption of fuel. In reply to questions put by the Coroner and jury as to the thickness of the plates, Dr. Church said that, so far as his recollection served him, they were ordered to be made of 3-Bths of an inch, but on this point his memory did not enable him to speak positively, as it was three years since the boiler had been made. There could be no doubt that the plate that had given way was not of the proper thickness ; but the engine having been proved, as was his invariable practice, at a pressure three times greater than that at which it was intended to be worked at—namely, 1601bs to the circular inch, he could not for a moment sup pose that any defect existed in the strength of the plates, more particularly as the boiler had been made by a most re spectable manufacturer. He could not, under these circum stances, account for the explosion. Coroner.—Do you consider that the plate was sufficiently thick ? Witness.—Certainly not. If I had known its strength as well as I do now, I would not have trusted myself on it, as I have frequently done, when it was working at a much higher pressure than it had on when the accident occurred. He, however, trusted to Mr. Horton, knowing him to be an exceedingly respectable manufacturer, and he considered him so still. He believed that he himself was not aware of the fact of plates of 3-16ths of an inch having been put in the boiler. The inquest was again adjourned to Monday week, in order to afford Mr. Horton, of West Bromwich, near Bir mingham, an opportunity of explaining the facts in reference to the construction of the boiler. CIRCULATION OF BIBLES. (From the o.zford Herald.) Dr. Thomson, of Coldstream, and Mr. Campbell, are holding meetings in different towns of the north of England, for the purpose of creating a feeling hostile to the autho rised printers of the Bible, on the plea that the prices now paid for Bibles are extravagantly high. At a meeting recently held at Liverpool, Mr. Campbell is reported to have said that the monopolists' prices are— s. d.

The bulk of our daily newspapers, not withstanding the rapidity with which they are got up, arc much less incorrect than many of the patentee editions of the word of God." It would be highly presumptuous to suppose that any book so large as the Bible could be printed without errors ; but Mr. Campbell is referred to the Report on the King's Printer's Patent (Scotland), 1837, where he will find at page 50 that, in order to obtain as much accuracy as possible, the university of Oxford offers the following re wards :—a sovereign to any person pointing out an error affecting the sense, in any of the latest editions of the Bibles or Testaments printed at the university press, and lalf-a crown for a typographical error. Why is it that no claims have ever been made on the university printers by either Mr. Campbell or Dr. Thomson ? A pamphlet in defence of the Earl of Cardigan having been transmitted by its author to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the following reply was returned, dated " Windsor Castle, Nov. 10 am commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, enclosing a pamphlet which you have written in defence of Lord Cardigan. His royal highness, as colonel of the regi ment, not having been culled upon to express any opinion, and not having taken any part in this case, will not patronise any publication written either in defence of the one side or the other.—G. E. ANsoN." PORTSMouTir. — The Satellite, 18, Commander Robb, and Serpent, 16, Commander Gore, are shortly expect e d from the North el ie anAmericani Commander a nd Charleslnd i a Napier, st ati n, to t be tnog p c paid off.

The Bl aze r steamer, Lieutenant Steane, and Li Lieutenant Lunn, are hourly expected, the former on her way to the West Indies, and the latter to the Me diterranean. The Ferret, 10, Lieutenant W. S. Thomas, is to go to the wes t coast of Africa, from Plymo uth. She is ready for departure. The Madagascar, 44, has been masted, and is inevery respect ready for commission ; Capt ain P. Wallis, it is still said, will have the command of her. Rumour says she is to go to the West Indies, to relieve the Seringapatam, 46. The St. Vin cent, 120, and Vengeance, 84, are preparing here for the pendant with increased despatch, and in about a fortnight will be commissioned. The Salamander steam frigate, Com mander Henry, will proceed to the Mediterranean about the 18th instant.

The appeal of Madame Laffarge is to come on before the Court of Cassation next Friday week. The grounds of ap peal to be urged by her counsel are seventeen in number.— Galiguani. The Commerce states, that a few days after the installa tion of the present cabinet, Marshal Soult sent an officer to Alexandria for the purpose of impressing on the mind of the Pacha of Egypt the necessity of not exceeding the limits of simple defence, if he desires that France should interfere in his favour to induce the other four great powers to grant to him the hereditary government of Egypt; and, informing him, that in the event of his assuming the offensive, the French government will abandon him to his fate. The same officer, adds the Commerce, takes with him the letters of re call for Mr. WalewskY. We quote the following from the Echo of Luxemburg : " An able chemist of Luxemburg. who is at the same time a distinguished physician, with whom we have conversed on the affair of Madame Laffarge, has made us acquainted with a fact which we think it right to make public. He has sub mitted to chemical analysis different qualities of paper, and has found in pieces, not larger than the palm of the hand, a quantity of arsenic as great as that extracted from the body of M. Laffarge. Hence it results, that any person who has the habit of masticating paper, or one who may only chew a piece occasionally, must absorb a certain quantity of arsenic. The presence of arsenic in paper is thus accounted for. Nearly all kinds of paper are in part made of coloured rags, the dyes of which are, for the most part, produced by pre parations into which much arsenic is introduced, and a por tion of which must remain in the composition of the paper." ANOTHER TRAGEDY AT TULLE, THE RESIDENCE OF THE LATE LAFFARGE.—A letter from Tulle, of the Ist instant, has the following :—" Another horrible crime has been com mitted in our town. This district appears destined to 'be come celebrated in the annals of criminal justice. This morning, at nine o'clock, a man named Beronie cut his wife's tbroat, under the following circumstances of shocking atro city :—Beronie's wife went in the morning to mass, and upon her return found her husband in the act of shaving. No sooner had he perceived his wife than he shut the door, and threw himself upon her, razor in hand. The unfortunate woman, in her struggle to protect herself from his violence, received several wounds in her hands, and two of her ringers were completely severed. The rage of Beronie was not ex hausted by this first assault. He armed himself successively with a shoemaker's knife, and with a knife of still larger size, which he thrust into his wifes neck. The cries of the un fortunate woman drew the neighbours to the spot, but they found the door closed. One woman, having perceived blood through a chink in the door, cried out, " Brigand, what are you about? Justice is informed, and you will be imme diately arrested." This menace affrighted Beronie, and his wife was able to open the door and rush out into the street. A horrible spectacle then presented itself to the eyes of the public. She carried the knife still stuck in her throat, and the blood streamed copiously from the wound. After running a few yards she fell apparently lifeless in the street. That same evening the last sacraments were administered to her, and not the slightest hope is entertained of her recovery. Beronie, the moment his wife left the house, endeavoured to cut his throat with his razor. He inflicted a serious wound, but it is not thought it will be mortal. He lost a great deal of blood, and was transported to the hospital, where a strait waistcoat was put upon him to prevent any further attempt at suicide. His age is 35, and his wife's 27. They have four children, the eldest eight years of age. The crime was the result of furious jealousy, a passion by which Beronie has been tormented ever since the period of his marriage. His suspicions are said to be utterly unfounded, his wife being of the most retired and prudent character. Beronie's dispo sition was always dark and vicious. He voluntarily entered the institute of the Brothers of the Chtistian Doctrine, but the superiors of that body declined to intrust him with the education of youth. He then became a shoemaker, but being generally disliked he got little work. His jealousy amounted almost to downright madness. He was in the constant habit of beating his wife, and a few days since told his eldest son to mount guard with a cudgel, " for there were no fewer than four scoundrels at that moment with his mother." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAL WESTERN RAILWAY.—A circumstance occurred on Sunday last which strongly shows the vigilant superin tendence on this line. It appears that the engine driver who took the six o'clock train from hence to Bath had been drink ing in the course of the afternoon, but not to such an extent as to be perceivable from his conduct. Mr. Brunel, who was at the Keynsham station waiting the arrival of the up train to proceed to Bath, was surprised at its being half an hour beyond its proper time, and upon questioning the driver could get no satisfactory reply. When starting for Bath the man shut off half the steam, when, upon Mr. Brunel directing him to put the full steam on the engine, the man refused. Mr. B. immediately took charge of the train, and threw the driver into the tender, and upon arriving in Bath placed him in custody. He has since been discharged. A few rigorous examples of this kind will, we think, be suffi cient to deter the men employed from improperly indulging in liquor, and at the same time ensure the continued confi dence of the public in the safety of the line.—Bristo Standard. 1 GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—We have heard that Messrs Stothert and Co., the manufacturers of the Arrow locomotive, have received further very extensive orders from this com pany for engines ; the excellent working, beauty of finish, and power of this favourite engine having given great satis faction. Including the extensive works of Messrs. Acraman, Morgan and Co., our city can now boast of as complete en gineering establishments as any of the towns in the north, which have long monopolized this branch of manufacturing industry ; and we feel some regret that the Great Western Company should have fixed their engine station at Swindon ; at our end of the line they could have availed themselves on emergency of any amount of assistance from the neighbouring manufactories. The directors are, of course, more compe tent to decide in this matter than we can possibly be ; the necessary expenditure would be lost to Bristol, and that is our reason for referring to the subject. Swindon is, indeed, the most central station of the line, but we shouid think the distance not material where time and space are so nearly an nihilated as on railways.—lbid. EFFECTS OF RAILWAYS. — The Grand Junction Canal shares, which a few years since were selling at £346 per share, have fallen to £139 per share, and the dividend, which was then £l3, is now £8 per share. As there are 11,500 shares, the proprietors have lost £2,415,000 upon their capital, and their annual income is reduced £57,000 in this undertaking alone. _ _ ----- RAILWAYS IN ENGLAND.—The following results of calcu lations made on the subject of railways in England will be found interesting :—Opened, and to be opened within the year 1840, 1,268 miles ; to be opened within the year 1841, 160 miles ; to be opened subsequently, 330 miles ; total for which acts have been obtained, 1,758 ; of which the shares are now at a premium, 783 miles ; at a discount not exceed ing 20 per cent. on the amount of share, 461 miles ; total 1,244 ; at a discount exceeding 20 per cent. on the amount of share, 514: total, 1,758 miles. Of the share capital for the above, there is now uncalled for £7,029,000, of which there may be estimated to be called for by the end of 1841, about one-half. Of railways entirely opened exceeding 20 miles in length, there are still at a discount only 129 miles.—Railway Times. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—There has been a fair demand for heavy winter goods for domestic use during . the past wee k, b u t i n th e lighter descriptions, and 19 fabrics su it a bl e f or export t h e transactions have been limited. Some of the leading firms, instead of discharging a . number of their hands and running the remainder for full time, have adopted the much more considerate and salutary practice of retaining all their ser vants, but working only three or four days a week, according to their need. By this means much distress among the ope rative classes will be prevented. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a fair attendance of buyers at market on Thursday, but scarcely an average amount of business was done. Prices, however, continued very firm, the stocks of manufactured goods being low. The yarn market partook of the dulness which pervaded the Piece Hall. In the wool market there was of course ver y littl e done, but prices were not quite so firm as in the other branches of the trade. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, Nov. lo.—This was a fair ave rage November market day, a time of the year when there is not much business done ; but there is little to complain of generally. In some sorts of goods, prices have declined ; but heavy woollens and winter goods of all sorts are firm. Wools are not much in request ; prices, ho w e ve r, have not altered. In the warehouses business is dull. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Nov. 9.—We have had a more limited demand for flannels to-day, and con siderably less business has been done, at rather declining prices. In the wool market there has been b u t little change for some weeks past, either in prices or demand. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING. (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.) EAST INDIES, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, Sre.

Our Butter market continues in a very unsatisfactory state as to demand, but we do not quote prices any lowe r th an on Friday. Holders of pickled Butter permit the currency of that article still to remain nominally at 925. There are no transactions worthy of notice in Beef and Pork ; and if anything, we should say that Bacon is again the turn cheaper. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
