And why should not it be f Why should we suppose that the Reformers in this town, or in the country, are opposed to Protestantism ?

The inference to be drawn from this is, of course, that Dr. M`Neile asks only, on behalf of the Con servative party, for one Protestant, whereas we apprehend nothing could be further from his wish. In another column we give a report of the lecture, containing our reporter's correct version of the passage in question, whici h we here repeat " If there be a large section of the town that wants a man to represent them, well, let us have fair play, and let us have peace and quietness. lam going to take upon me a g.reat proposal—that two respectable men varying in politics, but at one and determined for Protestantism shall be sent to Parliament, without a contest. Let our Reformers and our Conservatives, as they call themselves, wee in this matter. Let them each have a respectable, ingh-conditioned, and competent man to represent their .secular interests, but as far as Protestantism is concerned, both Conservatives indeed. And why not both Protestants ? Why should we suppose that the Reformers in this town or in this country, are opposed to Protest antism ? Why should we suppose they are such great fools as to be duped with an appearance of liberty of con science, which is only a prelude to universal persecution." The difference between the signification of the two versions will be seen at once; and the latter one certainly must be admitted to agree best with the context. THE Legislature will inevitably have shortly to take some steps to protect the lives of her Majesty's subjects who travel by railways. A fortnight ago, we had to record an accident, attended with a la- mentable loss of life, caused by the falling of a' bridge upon the river Dee, at Chester. To-day we have to record a still more disastrous occurrence at Wolverton, caused by a train of passenger carriages running into a train of lumber carriages placed in a siding. The one has occupied, for some time, the attention of a coroner's jury, and scientific men of all grades have given their testimony ; the other, doubtless, will do so forthwith, In'the first case, the evidence offered has been directed to the object of exonerating the Company from any blame, arising from the mal-construction of the fallen bridge ' • in the second, the cond uc t o f th e p ar ty, whose duty it was to see that the "point" was -properly adjusted, after the luggage waggons had been driven into the siding, will doubtless be the chief matter to consider. It really does strike us, however, that the time has come when something more satisfactory to the public than these inquiries, after the mischief has been done, must be attempted. What is the worth ment officers of railways about to be opened ? Positively nothing. General Pasley, or some other party, may come down from London ; be taken in a kind of triumphal procession along a line ; get out of his carriage and take a survey of a bridge or a viaduct, with an engineer and directors to tell him- everything about the span of this arch, the solid contents of this pier, the number of piles that have been driven for a foundation, the weight of girders, and the cost at which the whole has or any other government engineer, whose decision has to intimate to the public whether they may railway knnw Annt have alrea been exi erton acciden still a le OChUI ponsi- [,rd of an under official lecting that due attention to an important office, which they have a right to see paid.

Something might also be done to lighten the labours of the parties em ployed in this dangerous service. Their number might be increased, in order to allow time for healthy relaxation and exercise,—time to permit them to exchange the fevered 'atmosphere which they are hourly breathing for pure air. The autho rities of Liverpool, we trust, will look to this. They have already done and sacrificed muc' that much cheerfully, to aid the wretched strangers so unfairly cast upon their bounty; and they must not withhold their liberality from their own fellow townsmen, who are engaged in carrying out their benevolence. We understaud that one of the members of 24 lodge of the Protestant Association of loyal Orangemen will, this evening, deliver a lecture to the members, after the lodge has been closed. The subject of the lecture will be as important as seasonable. STEALING A WATCH.—A man, named John Jones, was yesterday charged, at the police court, with stealing, in a watch, worth 5, from a person name . . Beetham. The prisoner was in company with Ellen Rigby, and a man named Stewart, who were committed on Saturday for the same offence. The prisoner was also sent for trial at the sessions. We are authorised to contradict a report which has been industriously circulated, that the Rev. G. Cuthbert, minister of St. Mathew's, is about removing to a distant sphere of labour. The reverend gentleman's ministry, since its commencement, has been accompanied with every been con THE CROPS.—CANTERBURY, SATURDAY.—The last few days we have had cold, dry, easterly winds, which keep out the homeward-bound ships ; and the price of wheat has advanced from 3s. to ss. per quarter this day. There is really no reason for the advance. The crops never looked better, though the pasture lands are begin ning to call out for rain. I send you an ear of wheat in full bloom, and also one of oats.. I suppose you have none with you so forward. With the weather we had last week, we should be cutting in five weeks.—From a Cor respondent. THE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.—The first sailing match of the season will take place to-morrow, for three elegant pieces of plate, given by the club. The contend ing yachts, first, second, and third class, will sail from the Rock Ferry, shortly after ten o'clock, taking " the Egerton course," and will return to tae place of starting. Nine fine yachts have been entered. One of the City of Dublin Company's mail steam-ships will attend and fol low the match, for the accommodation of the officers, and the members, and their friends, leaving the Prince's Pier at ten o'clock. A good band of music will be on board, and the stewards will make ample provision for the com pany. The contest, it is expseted, will be highly interesting. We have much pleasure in stating that at the late exa mination for Gentlemen Cadets in the royal military aca demy, Woolwich, the first place was assigned to Mr. Charles Forbes Birch, of this town, son of the late Capt. Birch, of the 73rd regiment. There were eleven other successful candidates, the answering of all of whom was highly respectable, but Mr. Birch did not miss a single question during the whole of a rigid examination. In his special preparation he was unfavourably circumstanced, as he had only been ten days upon the spot instead of several months. • His success is creditable on the one hand to his own character and attainments ; and on the other to the Collegiate Institution, in which he was educated. HARVEST PROSPECTS.—In the Exchange Newsroom, on Saturday, a clump of wheat was exhibited from Mr. Neilson's farm, at Halewood.

Viewed generally as a mere painting, irre spective of its historical character, it is almost faultless in first o every respect. Its grouping is most skilfully managed and perfectly balanced, none of the figures introduced being obtruded upon us to the exchision of others. The coloring is splendid. yet suitable to the character of the scene; and the details and accessions are worked out most carefully. Every portion of the picture, indeed, will bear the closest examination with a powerful lens ; and the figures, in particular, are finished with the care if miniature painting As a historical picture, however, it is that its merits most striking and wonderful.

This gentleman pessesses a tine bass and barytone voice, and has evidently studied in a good school. Signora Corbari next sang a rondo, " I Lom bardi," by Cr. Verdi, in a very chaste manner ; and was followed by Madlle. Alboni, who gave a romanza. from " Lucretia Borgia," with that astonishing contralto voice for which she i; so eminent. Herr Joachim was the next on the programme, and gave a violin solo (Spohr's eighth concerto) with exquisite effect. A much finsr player than this young man it is _impossible to ...hear. Although he has not the power of De Beriot, Vieux temps, and some others, the quality of his tone is most beautiful. His left hand is surprising ; and his manage ment of the bow is both graceful and commanding. The introductory movement, which is full of cadenzas and embellishments, was beautifully played, as was the move ment in two four time. His octaves, tenths, double shakes, and aspeggios were perfect and masterly. The duet from La Gazza Ladra, by Signora Corbari and Mdlle. Alboni was finely sung, Mdlle.

The present candidates are, therefore, Lord Howard, Mr. Jackson, of Birkenhead, and. Mr..

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.—THE GREAT BRITAIN. — June 1. The paper read was an account of the iron barque Josephine, of Liverpool. Thecidelfea ture of the paper was that which treated of the local attraction of the compasses. It appeared that as long as the ship was on an even keel, and perfectly upright, the compasses acted correctly, but in proportion to the listing over, so was the derangement of th e magnet ; for, the local attraction being changed by the side frames and deck beams falling into new positions, this caused great el slia:nCßomi Sundayi o: variation in the ship's course, and it led to a conjecture whether this may not have been the cause of the loss of the Great Britain, as, if her compasses were acted upon as much as those of the Josephine, a deviation of six miles and a, half out of her emirs • might easily have occurred. THE RAILWAY BILL.—A letter on the subject of this bill, introduced by the chancellor of the exchequer, has been extensively circulated. It is signed by the respective chairmen of the following railway companies : the Mid land, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Caledonian, South Eastern, Great Western, London and South Western, North. Western. . The letter states that these gentlemen, " in'connection with a large body of railway directors and proprietors, have well considered the provisions of this second bill. In our view they tend so seriously to endan ger the security and to depreciate the value of railway' property, while, at the same time, they so interfere with that freedom of action which is indispensible to the effici ent management of railways, that we feel it to be our duty to invite you to assist us hi opposing it effectually." members Commons 0 f last (Monday) night, o f Theya tt s e o n v d:i attending SOUTH urge the Com mander a t o o nn idpienrrogt,eHcftr from n a t m h i e l tto g hn r e e , aptaaicrnirfiti arrived interests la having stake gF ah Falmouth sailedor i in ugt t fhF h r or e moo b ini i December 15, Valparaiso February 11, Port Famine ( d i : the straits of M age ll an ) M arch 22, an d from Ili n °- 00 Janeiro April 18 .

PRIESTLY ESTIMATE OF MR. O'CONNELL.—A most remarkable, if not extraordinary, letter appears in the Nation of Saturday. It is from the pen of the celebrated Father Kenyon, and is addressed to the editor as. one of the accredited leaders of the Young Ireltud party- The reverend gentleman opens his battery with a fierce denunciation of, and protest against, a resolution pro posed by Mr. Smith O'Brien, at a recent meeting of the council of the " Confederation," pledging the body to join in a national demonstration of honour to the remains of Mr. O'Connell—a course altogether repugnant to the feelings of the writer, for the reasons stated, with , ; out reserve or qualification, or " mincing of the matter. His reverence concludes his letter as follows:—" I deal not the good points of O'Connell's character; and, if I do not enumerate them, it is only because all his points -- good had _ , and indifferent—have been, extolled over-fre quently and overmuch. He was, all in all, en grand° homme n:wee; possessinc , great elements of greatness ,, but alloyed below the standard. He failed in his missioor and he deserved to fail in it.

MARKET, On Friday last, notwithstanding the splendid weather ith which we have been favoured, we had, in Liverpool, Is. per quarter upon Indian Corn ; the value of other articles remaining steady. Yesterday the feeling of the trade was still in favour of an advance in prices ; and Western Canal Flour was sold as high as 465. Wheat ,ort not being estimated was also higher, the stock in the the last thirty years. The stock of American Flour is only estimated at 80,000 barrels, which, with the if;reis sa n; ' adv;nee . tonoieinOlh;a j rtiCres7 iii;iraTle, however, were waiting for the prices at Mark-lane yesterday. quent rise in prices, is the disproportion of our exports to ters, against which we exported to foreign countries, to Ireland, and coastwise, 1,599 quarters. Our imports of flour were 495 barrels, against 9,283 barrels exported. Our imports of Indian corn were 3,031 quarters, against 10,628 quarters exported ; and of Indian meal, 99 quarters• imporueu against, Low uttrru. c.pyi.v‘f. Lcatues Luis, large supplies are going into the interior. Beyond the prospects of early foreign supplies, there appears nothing to prevent a further rise of prices. RE-APPEARANCE OF THE APHIS VASTATOR Our readers may probably remember that, some time ago, in reviewing one of the quarterly publications, we noticed particularly a work by Mr. Alfred Smee, in which the origin of the potato disease was attributed to the ra vages of an insect called the aphis vastator. Our opinion was given with tolerable distinctness, that there was, at least, a colorable ground for the conclusions arrived at by Mr. Smee. The potato fields, he showed, were affected with disease, and along with that disease the i nsec t ap peared. The mode, too, in which the plant and root were destroyed was consistent with the devastation which such an insect would cause. It is therefore with great regret _ . that we hear of its re-appearance in the country, as an nounced in the following letter addressed to the editor of the London Times;— " SAR,—I regret to announce that the aphis t'astator re ap peared last week upon the potato plant in every district round London. At present it may be found sparingly upon the under surface of the leaf, and though within the last few days it has multiplied twentyfold, several plants must be examined before it can be detected. The hot weather is highly favourable to the ra cation of t his pest, whit pid multi coupled with its_early attack, mast Finibu)y-eireue, June 4." Lension Elsewhere in our columns will be found notices of the alleged re-appearance of the disease itself in various parts of the country, and contradictions of that fact, the latter of which we incline to believe. The evidence, indeed, is in favour of the belief that the crop, as yet, is wound ; and Mr. Smee's announcement that the destroyer has just ap peared, does not militate against that evidence. But we must not be sanguine that disease may not yet be in course of growth. It would, perhaps, be worth the while of horticulturists to examine the leaves of their plants, and, should the insect be found upon them, to see whether any chemical appliances can be used for its destruction. ASSAULT.—Yesterday, at the Police-court, a young man named Nicholas Ellard, was fined 40s. and costs, for assaulting Mr. Inspector Chew. COMMITMENTS FOR TRIAL AT THE SESSlONS.—Yester day were committed Margaret Burns, (alias Ryley), for stealing a portable writing desk, the property of a person named Thurstville; and Ann Cahill, for stealing on Thurs day night 12 sovereigns and £l2 in silver, from Thomas German, by breaking open a trunk. __ INQUEST ON A CHILD UNKNOWN.—Yesterday an in quest was held on the body of a female child, unknown, which was found on board of the ship Yorkshire, at the Brunswick Dock on Saturday evening, by a police officer. Mr. Woods, surgeon, examined the body, and found that the cause of death was congestion of the lungs, the result of natural causes. THEFT FROM A SHOP.—At the police court yesterday a woman named Mary Gannow was charged with stealing three pieces of cotton and woollen plaid from the shop of Mr. Lewis, Great Gcorge - street. The quantity was 18 yards, and it was worth £2. The prisoner, who was taken into custody by a police-officer, on suspicion, had taken the goods from the shop-door, at which they were fixed by a chain. She was committed for trial at the sessions. THEFT BY A MAN AND A FEMALE SERVANT.—At the aged about '1 . 6, and a mail, were el A ..utrgaret. IJIIII/11, barged by the girl's in Paradise-street, with stealing £4O in mone gold and the remainder in silver. She-had left £33 i the town in Hollins Vale, near Bury. She had purchased a variety of articles of dashing wearing apparel, &c., which were produced in a new trunk. She had also taken -a watch and other articles. They were committed for trial. FATAL AccIDENT.—An inquest was held yesterday, before the borough coroner, on view of the body of John Ellison, aged forty-six, a labourer at Messrs. Fawcett and Preston's foundry, in York-street. On Saturday after noon deceased went to a lathe which is worked by steam power, for the purpose of wiping the " rest " of the ma chine. At the time there was a large piece of iron revolving on the lathe, and while deceased was in the act of wiping the rest, he placed his head too close to it_ and - . - was drawn in by the machinery, and got his head com pletely crushed. There was no blame attributable to any one. He was taken to the Southern Hospital, where he THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The weather for the past week has, in this quarter, been rather propitious, with strong sunshine generally through the day, and dew in the mornings.

Some rumours that the blight has seized breadths of, the potatoes, in this vicinity, have received no confirmation. Indeed,. we never saw the crops of this article generally look finer, and although it is possible that, where the best seed has not been employed, some future disease.may appear, we deem it quite improper to anticipate such an evil. There is, generally, a fine show for fruit, ant all kinds of garden stuffs. OBTAINTNG. NEWSPAPERS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. At the police-court yesterday, a boy who gave his name as Henry iOrari:adasge;prci, was brought before Mr. Rushton, charged by Mr. William Fell, clerk . at the Li- that on Saturday last prisoner went to the office, and ob tained four dozen of papers, by means of an order pur porting to be signed by Mr. Shephard, news-vender, Scot land-road. He returned in the course of the afternoon for another lot, and being suspected, was apprehended. Mr. Sheppard stated he was not acquainted wi snner. and that he had not signed the order, th the pri produced.) or authorised the boy to receive papers in his name. The prisoner said that his father's name was Shephard, and sold newspapers. This assertion did not extenuate the offence, and the prisoner, (who we believe has obtained papers in a similar manner from other offices,) was com mitted for trial at the sessions.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Stn,- 7 1Vith your permission, iyeoy!d follow up the observa- and - unwarrantable conduct of Dr. Cam the editor o le Christian Witne.s. Precisely the same course of unjust and disreputable pro „... ceeding, upon which "Nigel' very properly animadverts, has this man been pursuing in reference to the Wesleyan Methodists. In the January number of this Witness, his readers were treated with an elaborate essay on what he conceives the unscriptural ana aespotic cnaracter of our church government. This is only what might be looked for in a publication noted for its advo- rizfit of Dr. Cam emocratic principles. While we concede the ,)bell to hold opinions howsoever loose and destructive, we very much question his right, unprovokedly and wantonly, to attack another Christian community ? whose chief sin, in his estimation, seems to be the conservative cha racter of its government ; but this by the way. What we specially complain of is the course he afterwards pursues in courting and giving insertion to some couple of doze n anony mous letters, containing the vilest aspersions on. and accusa- tions against, the characters of our ministers; while, with one solitary exception, and that an amazing act of grace on his not by Controversy but by facts,"—which means, the editor's vagaries must be supported by such communications as any anonymous scribbler, or mischievous and quarrelsome soul might think fit to furnish him with. To say this is the way to elucidate truth is a burlesque on common sense; rather ►s it the direct way to spread falsehood and to promote strife and contention. Now suppose, Mr. Editor, you should feel disposed to take up the subject of "Independency," and show its unscriptural character and downward tendency, and how unfitted to carry out the design of the Saviour, in the salvation of sinners, as exemplified by the experience of dissenting churches in our own town ; and then, to support your position, seek for infor mation from those disaffected within its pale, as well as from parties who have left it in disgust, and not a few of such are to be found. What a hue and cry would be raised! flow lavishly would the charges of bigot►y and unfairness be rung in our ears, and by none more so than Dr. Campbell; and yet this is precisely his method of dealing with Wesleyans. It is high time that the respectable members of the "Con gregational Union," whose organ the Christian Witness pro fesses to be, should arise and rid themselves of such a deadly incubus, which, as at present conducted, is a standing disgrace to the Christian name. Many of those gentlemen profess to be zealous friends of the Evangelical Alliance. We call upon them to act consistently, and either withdraw from the Alliance, or discountenance a work the direct tendency of which is to pro .. mote disunion and strife. In this month's number, the learned Dr. is fairly rampant ith rage. Nothing but the entire disruption of the present either by the fate his bantling has met with down at liover, in being taken up as an unclean thing with the tongs and crammed into the fire ; or, that the excellent Sir Culling E. Smith should have had the daring to preside at our late missionary anniver sary, held in London, and at which meeting both clergymen and dissenting ministers were seen delightfully amalgamating. This was too much for our Witness man ; hence be is very wroth. The speakers, he says, contented themselves with lauding and praising one another, without saying one word about the nature of Christ's kingdom. Now, a great deal was said at the above meeting, by the different speakers, concerning the dissipation of darkness and the diffusion of Gospel light, on the destruction of sin, and the spread of Christian holiness; but these blessings seem not to enter into our editor's ideas of Christ's kingdom. No, the Church must be separated from the state, and Methodism must be rendered democratic in its con stitution ; and then we are to have the Saviour's kingdom in all its pristine glory set up on the earth. From such may we long be preserved, is the ardent wish of Yours truly, A WESLEYAN, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—Allow me space for a few remarks, elicited, on the spur of the moment, by reading a paragraph in the Mercury of this day, respecting Scotland Ward Election,—a paragraph of the most vicious and malignant tendency.

Is EMPLOYMENT WANTED ?—A crowd is besieging the Legislature with cries to provide occupation for the people. " Make a thousand miles of railway in Ireland. "Compel the bank to lend us all money to take up our acceptances, and keep our factories going and our warehouses full." " Lend us money fer cl;ainhig," " Send two millions of people across the Atlantic, and make a railroad from Ha lifax to Quebec." "At least half a million for one er two Irish railways, if you will not help them all." We will venture to say that never were demands more utterly unseasonable. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is worried tor employment. Employment ! There is too much already. There is much more employment undertaken than .there are wages to pay. Railway companies pledged to find employment, are obliged to break their promises to the people and the legislature. Factories are closing Machinery is be coming useless. Our difficulty is im mensely increased by our having " too many irons in the fire." Yet the Chancellor of the Exchequer is asked to put a few more in. Providing employment under present circumstances is sending coals to Newcastle. The Trish companies are finding employment beyond their means ; so are the Lancashire manufacturers ; and so are many other classes. The employment is too much for the means of reumeration..—London ion created by the first shock had somewhat subsided, all the energies of th pany's officers and the more fortunate of the pas: Were directed to the assistance of the sufferers, and b - ody after body, apparently in a lifeless condition, was removed from the line to one of the ante-rooms of the Wolverton station, where they were at once attended to by Mr. Rogers snrgeon, of Wolverton, in the employ of the company, and by the other medical gentleman who happened to be in 1 at the tim were found either in a dead or dying condition, scarcely half an hour having elapsed from he time a The most singular occurrence, however, connected with the deaths of these unfortunate persons is the appearance exception of a:few slight scratches and bruises, none of the Scarcely any blood is to he seen about them, and they are all believed to have died from the same cause, namely, concussion, resulting from the suddenness and violence of Amongst the passengers injured is a gentleman named xner, residing in Staffordshire, who received several severe cuts al it the heid but who was yester- Lblv. Another ffentlo_ others are stated to be more or less injured, but were enabled to proceed to their destinations as soon as the wns r,nt ready to forward them jived after having recc proper medical attention. As soon as possible after the sufferers had been attended to, and the broken carriages removed from the main line, an investigation was made into the circumstances which had led to so frightful and fatal a calamity. It was stated that at the Wolverton station the points are always kept straight with the main line, and they require to be altered to allow a train to enter the siding. It appears that the rom the bridge where he was stationed, to the points of the siding, a - bout forty or fifty yards, and held them back, so that the mail train passed on to the siding instead of passing onward down the main line. This was not discovered by the engine driver until he had passed the points a considerable tance, when seeing the danger he instantly applied the breaks, turned off his steam, and reversed his engine, arid then both he and the firemen jumped off onto the ern- bankment, and Sus in at ity save The train was at this moment going, it is stated, at a rate not exceeding ten miles an hour. On the constable', Fossey, being interrogated as to the causes which led him, after signalising the arrival of the mail train, to run down the line for the purpose of turning it on to the siding, the only explanation which he afforded was, that he after wards thought it was not the mail train, but the luggage train, and he did so for the purpose of securing its safety. _ man having been employed by the company at his present duty six months, the superintendent of the Wolverton station felt it his duty immediately to give him into custody. Immediately after the mail train, which was detained nearly two hours by the unfortunate occurrence, had been despatched on its'journey, a special engine was started off to London with the melancholy news to the directors, and other high officials connected with the railway, and Cap tain Huish, the general manager of the line. M. Bruyeres, the superintendent, and Mr. Creed, the secretary, and some of the directors, arrived at Wolverton yesterday by themM. train, for the purpose of pursuing the investiga tion and ascertaining who were the sufferers. This was found extremely difficult ; but from the cards and other evidence discovered on the persons of the deceased parties J. B. Ratteray, belonging to an iron foundry at Dun dee ; Miller, secretary of a London Ragged school ; James Clifton, supposed to be from Coventry ; T. Mac kinson, a collegian of Cambridge ; T. Shenott and Cooper, not known where belonging to. The seventh is the body of a respectably attired young man, but who had nothing upon him to lead to identity. All the deceased persons are attired in the most respectable manner The bodies w are removed to an outhouse at the Wol verton station, where they now lie awaiting the inquest of the coroner for Northamptonshire. The following official report is furnished to the reporter by Captain Huish, general manager of the line : OFFICIAL REPORT "It appears that the 8 . 45 p. m. down mail train on Saturday the sth of June, left London at its usual time, and passed safely till within sight of the Wolverton sta tion. At the bridge, which is distant from the entrance to the station about 600 yards, a siding commences, into which coal and merchandise trains are passed. The train arrived precisely at its proper time, the steam was shut off before reaching the bridge, and the guards were at their post. The policeman at the bridge gave the usual signal of the arrival of the mail, and the signal was acknowledged and repeated from the station. At this time the points were right, and everything in proper time for the entrance of the train into the station. " From some cause, yet to be explained, the signal man appears to have gone to the points, a distance of 40 or 50 paces, and to have turned the train into the sidin g . On finding himself off the main line, and going into a siding usually full of goods, the engine man reversed his engine, a nd worked the wheels bac kwards. The break of the tender which locks all the six wheels was applied, and the guards used their breaks. The train, which was composed of 16 carriages of various kinds, after running of coals, which with,four or five others was standing there. The engine-man and fireman were unhurt, and the buffer plank of the engine only damaged. The leading carriage was the Liverpool parcel van, and the second, the Manchester -cel van ; both are unit '•tred. he next was a second , class carriage, also uninjured, and the passengers unhurt. li•om the engine was a second-class also. This carriage appears to have been lightly loaded ; and from the mo mentum of the train, and re-action of the buffers of the leading carriages, was lifted up on its end, The next car riage was a. second-class also, being the sixth from the engine, and on this the lamentable effect of the concussion was felt in the deaths of seven male persons. The car riage was forced under the one which was lifted up, and the injuries appear to have resulted entirely from the iron work of the under framing. The carriage itself is broken to pieces, arid; although the leading carriages show marks of the collision, with the exception of the parcel vans, the whole mischief appears to have fallen on the sth and Gth carriages. " It would be improper to anticipate the evidence be fore it is officially giVen, but from all we can learn the ac cident arises entirely and solely from the pointman turning, the train off the main line. It is not an act of omission of duty, because the points are always right for the main line, and require holding . back to enable a train to enter the siding. The man is in custody. -- An a cu►usion attenuea. wito so fearful a loss of life it might be expected that many passengers would be injured, but we are happy to say this is not the case. One gentle man had a rib injured, and two others were much shaken, but with these exceptions we do not learn that any pas sengers were seriously hurt." SUNDAY NIGHT throughout the day, in conseeinenee of a rumour extensive y circa lated, that 4C lives hai upon the lin minus as to the truth of the rumour were most Incessant, and parties whose friends left last night by the mail train were solicitous as to their safety, awaiting the arrival of unfortunately injured in the collision were brought up from Wolverton by the York mail train, and were re moved to their residences suffering much from contusions and bruises. The guards of the train had a most miraculous escape, the chief guard, Haines, was actually sitting on a carriage that was destroyed, and on seeing that a collision was in evitable threw himself, at all risks, off the top down the embankment and escaped unhurt. The second guard also followed his example and was uninjured. Although every endeavour was made on Sunday night to get a more authentic description of the parties dead, it was unattended with success.
