ALARMING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

BIRMINGiIAIK, MONDAY, 10 r.m.

An accident, nearly attended with very serious
consequences, has occurred in the Loudon and North
Western Company's station in this town tonight. The
6 o'clock express from London, due here at 9 p.m.. arrived
punctually. The engine ►ad posed through the tunnel ea
to the lies in the station. At this point the eosins, tender,
sod guard's van, with one passenger carriage, passed on all
right, but the second and third carriages were thrown
off the rats, and the fourth carriage was overturned.
Fortunately there were in it only two passengers, who
almost by a miracle escaped without being much hurt. They
were extricated through the windows on the upper aids
The remaining portion of the train, consisting of three or
four first and second-class carriages, with the last guard's
van, remained on the rails. The train having been brought to
• stood, the carriage thrown its side was dragged aloe,
a few yards, and ultimately the end of it came is
canted with a portion of the platform, which it tore up. A
portion of one large flagstone, three feet in length, was
forced into the carriage which had been thrown over. The
passengers, it is hoped, have sustained no vary serious
injuries. Mr. Oliver Pemberton, the company's
surgeon, was, In a few minutes, on the spot
ready to theist those in the train, many of whom
were in a state of great excitement. Mr. Roberta,
the general agent, was also immediately at the ethos, and
every effort was made to clear the lies, which is just sow
much thronged. Thin was done as speedily as possible.
Major Dixon, of the Lt Royals, was standing on the plat-
form when the solidest mound. Hs was knocked down
and much shaken. Two canon have been assigned for the
accident. One is that the turn table over which the train
bad Whams, bad been left improperly fastened ; the other
is, that than was something wrong I. oceusexioa with the

ITALY AND MEXICO.

The organs of the Austrian cabinet seem greatly
annoyed at the despatch of a special ambassador
to the Italian court by the Emperor of Mexico. The
Oat-Deutsche Post thus expresses itself :
The Emperor of Mexico, who if an archduke of Austria.
and has been the Emperor's lieutenant at Milan, has saluted
the King of Italy by a special ambassador, on the occuion
of hie soorsion, no doubt. The Emperor of Mexico has no
European traditions. The Archduke Maximilian having
renounced, or almost renounced, his &goalie rights in order
to devote himself entirely to his new minion, it is natural
be should make Mexican interests the prime object of his
policy. It is likely enough that the Italians, who count
Romulus, Augustus, and Jastinian among their ancestors,
will not feel very highly flattered to see themselves repre-
sented as of the same race as the Indians of Montezuma and
the mongrels their descendants. On the other hand,
the loyal Altus, who are described as the most
zealous outlaw's of the new empire, will not be a little
utoniahed to learn that King Victor Emmanuel evidently
took into account only the race domieant in Mexico, and
entirely overlooked the primitive inhabitants of the country.
For our parts we will merely supreme the wish that his
Majesty the Emperor of Mexico, while accomplishing hw
new duties, may not contribute to increase the embarrass-
mute of his mother-ociontry, and may not too often
propound the theory of universal suffrage in his diplo-
matic acts.

GALE ox THE hum CoAsr.—A correspondent of

river is very much swollen, and several small boats have
been dove in on shore. At soon to-day it was said that

METHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS.
London, England, 1864-01-05

POLAND.

The Cologne Grt:rfte gives further particulars of
the extortion of addresses of loyalty to the Czar,
from the inhabitants of Warsaw. On the 27th
of December, while one of the usual wholesale
arrests of passers-by in the main streets was
going on, the leading Jewish merchants and
bankers were summoned to the office of
police, where an address was laid before them by
the director for signature. The director said that
he would not force any one to sign, hut at the 84111 e
time noted down the names of all who were present.
Some wished to make explanations, but they were
stopped by the director, who told them that the time
for explanations was past. Great indignation has
been created among the Jews in consequence of the
re-establishment of the regulations depriving tlicui
of several of the privileges enjoyed by Christians.
' The Chcrila remarks, with reference to General
Berg's last decrees, that he has now organised
three means of completely impoverishing the
country. First, by the general contribution which
is imposed on all the nobles, townsmen, clergy, and
small proprietors in Lithuania, Podolia, Vol-
hynia, and the Ukraine, and on the Warsaw popu-
lation, and the clergy in Congress Poland. Second,
the contribution on towns and villages, where the
insurgents have seized the government chest ; and
third, that on individuals who have in any way
shown their sympathy to the insurrection, or for
any reason remain abroad.

The Vienna Veld gives the following review ol
the state of the insurrection at the termination ol
the year which has just concluded :

Never were there so many bodies of insurgents in the
government of Lublin as now. Since the battle of Chelm,
in the middle of November, the corps of Waligovski,
Wierzbicki, Krysinski, Cwiek, Marecki, Szydlowski,
nie►ski, Ejtosanowicz, and many others, numbering 5,000
men in all, have been placed under the chief command of
General Kruk, who himself is at the head of a body of
hone. These numerous little bands do much damage to
the Russian garrisons, which, including those of Zamoac and
lwangrod, number upwards of 18,000 men. In the neigh-
bouring palatinate of Sandunor, in which General
Bonk is the chief commandant, the insurgent corps
under Iltrbsjlo, Rudcwski, and Eininowicr, num-
ber 3,000 men. The brilliant assault on the town
of Opatow, and Kruk's victories at Ooosien'zo
and Dzialosrece, prove that the insurgents are in this
palatinate more than • match for the Russians, although
the latter are upwards of 8,000 strong. In the other
palatinates the military forces of the insurrection have to
a great extent been absorbed by the civil organnation.
There are, however, still the little bands of Okuniewski,
Nowieki, Pongowski, Korytkowski, Putt Kammer,
firtimlanski, Synswin, Zychlinski, Gleba, and many others,
which Wage the Russians by constant skirmishing,. In
Samogitia the insurgents are again increasing in numbers.
They are led by Kolyaito, Wyelouch, and Kuszleyko. The
little bands amount in all to about 10,000 men, besides
10,000 in Samogitia, Sandomir, and Lublin.

SWEDEN.

The Aftonbiadet of Stockholm, which approved
a few days ago of the abstention of Sweden in
the Dano-German conflict, now chimes in with the
warlike tone that prevails at this moment. In
giving an account of the meeting at Christiana
and of the address of the University of Upeal, the
Swedish journal says that these demonstrations
would become more lively still, and would exer-
cise an irresistible pressure, at the first cannon shot
which should be heard on the Eider. "Sweden,"
says the Ajionbiadet, " will not hesitate to draw
the sword when the object is to defend the Scandi-
navian frontier."

EXPLOSION OF A BOILER AT BRADFORD.

About one o'clock yesterday, a terrific explosion
of a self-feeding boiler took place at the parsonage of St.
Andrew's Church, at Lister Hllls, Bradford, occupied by
the Itev. K. Gale. Two servants. named Elizabeth Taylor
and Elizabeth Mend:mil, were engaged in washing in
a room adjoining the kitchen when the explosion took
plain'. The boiler flew in pieces from its bed, knocking
down the wall, and the fireplaces on each side of it, there
being one in the kitchen and the other in the washhouse.
The kitchen was a complete wreck, the doors were torn
from their hinges, and broken to pieces ; the windows were
blown out, and the opposite walls were shattered and broken
by the missiles which had been hurled against them.
Scarcely au article of furniture remained whole. The
two servants were shockingly injured. Marsland visa
found lying crushed and mutil►ted beneath the heavy
stones which had fallen from ►bout the fireplace in the
washbouse, and was removed in a dangerous condition to
the Bradford Infirmary. Elizabeth Taylor was also severely
injured, and placed under medical treatment. The kitchen
was set on fire, but the fire was speedily extinguished by
some workmen who were near. The damage to the build-
ing is estimated at 50/. The explosion was caused by the
sudden liberation of the water which bad become frozen in
the feeding pipe.

SIX BOYS DROWNED.

On Sunday three boys were drowned in the
Bold Venture Lodge, Over Darwen, and two others
narrowly mowed a similar fate. It seems that a number of
boys and young men were sliding and skating on the ice,
and while several of them crowded upon one part the tea
broke. In the nob which followed five boys fell into
the water. Several of the bystander, immediately ren-
dered an the aid they could, but only two of the boys
were rescued. The other three very suddenly disappeared
under the ice, and the most vigilant efforts failing to rescue
their bodies, the police were communicated with, and a
large portion of the ice broken. The lodge was then
dragged, and after a search of nearly two hours the bodies
were recovered. The names of the boys are George Fish,
13 ; James Bennett, 11 ; and Eli Mather, 14.
A similar accident occurred at Macclesfield on the same
day. A number of boys ventured on the ice on a pool in
Park-lane, Macclesfield, which was nut au inch in thickness.
One of them, named Eli Atkins, a youth fourteen years of
age, slid on till some thirty yards from the side, fol-
lowed by two
,younger boys. John Edward Hilton, aged
thirteen, and William Burgess, Mid twelve. Suddenly
the lee at the spot which Atkins bad reached broke, end
the little fellow was plunged into the water. Hui two
playfellows went to his assistance, standing on either
side of the hole from which Atkins was struggling to ex-
tricate himself. But the ice was not strong enough to
sustain their weight, aed they too fell into the water and
disappeared immediately. Atkins still continued struggling,
hut was unable to get more than his elbows above the ice.
A rope was thrown to him, which he seized with his mouth i;
but he sank back exhausted, leaving some of his teeth
embedded in the rope which he had seized in the List
struggle for life.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE PROPOSED OCCUPATION OF
SCHLESWIG.

" During the last few days," says the Pays, "the
Ministers of England, Austria, and Prussia at
Paris have had several interviews with M. Drouyn
de Lhuya on the subject of the Dano-German ques-
tion. Couriers were afterwards despatched to
Copenhagen. Prussia and Austria are in accord
in their determination to occupy Schleswig as a
security, but only until the King of Denmark shall
have satisfied the engagements entered into in
MI with those two powers. In fine, the occupa-
tion of Schleswig is the means adopted by Austria
and Prussia not to appear to abandon the cause of
Germany, and to place themselves at the head of
the movement which is in progress throughout
the confederation, in order to restrain its excesses
and direct it in a pacific course."
London, England, 1864-09-30

and not the work of the directors. Tun &comb
were entered is a separate ledger, efitteh he (Mr. Aileen)
never saw until after the bank steeped. What the directors
had to do with was what wee abed the legitimate tossisete
of the bank. They had SCOOPS to the ledgers and to the ac-
counts of pumas doing business with, or owing money to,
the bank ; and whenever he got any Wormed= casting
doubt upon any of their customers he regularly brought it
to the special attention d Mr. Greenland. Thus were the
accounts spoken of by Mr. Simpson, which they west over
every half-year ; but, u he had said, the destruction of th
bank had arisen from the discount bonnets and the es-
champ of paper from London, which was done entirely
without their knowledge or consent.
Now, Mr. TI:III4CAND states that these transac-
tions were not consigned to a private record ; but
that every bill put into circulation appeared in the
books. And it will be observed that Mr. WILKON
does not deny this. Re does not state that he
had not access to the book which contained
the information that ought to have saved the bank,
but that he was not consulted, and that, as a
matter of fact, he did not see the ledger contain-
ing the register of these fatal bonds. But of course
all supervision and control is at an end if it. exer-
cise is to depend on the invitation of the person
going wrong. In this case it was Messrs. Sarni,
PAYNE, and Co. who performed for the shareholders
a duty which their nominal protectors failed to dis-
charge, and saved them from losses far greater
than they have already sustained.

TUE TIIAMEA EMBANKMENT AND TEM BANE OF EIGLAND.

The CHAIRMAN said they were all aware that the board
was compelled to keep th a Thames Embankment account at
the Bank of England. and that that bank would not allow
i were', on depoeits. The governors had always resisted any
attempt to get interest allowed on deposits. Well, the board
had recently received from the government the sum of
5.7,0..MV. on account of the construction of the Thames
Embankment, and he (the chairman) had applied to
the government permission to place the money at interest.
They would went about 156,000f.durieg the next six months,
which would leave about 200,000/. that they might place out
.t interest. He had that morning received a letter from the
governors of the Bank of Eagland,stating that it was against
their rules to give interest on deposits, hut under the
pee...La circumstances of the case they would make
to exception in the case of the Board of Works, and would
allow five per cent. per annum interest on the 200,000/.
for three months from the lit Oct. to the lit of Jan. next.
That would give them 2,500/. on their money.

The motion was carried unanimonaly.

EGYPTIAN COMMERCIAL AND TRADING COM-

This afternoon an extraordinary general meeting
of the shareholders in this company was held at the London
Tavern, to receive and consider the accounts and balance-
sheet of the company from the 30th of April to the 30th of
ruts list, and to declare, if the meeting shall so determine,
a dividend in respect of profits up to that date. Yr.
LARKING occupied the chair.
The report, which was taken as read, stated that the
balance-sheet for the twelve months ending June 30 showed
a profit of 47,459/. Is. 6d., of which 29,632 f. is. 6d.
was made up to the preceding 30th of A priL
Out of this an interim dividend of sa. 30. per share had ah-
em' ,ed 26,2501., which with 2,900/. placed formers' fund, left
a balance now to be dealt with of 1ii,309/. Is. 6d. From
this the directors recommended a dividend of 2s. 6d. per
share.

The Cusraxvi moved that the report bo adopted and
dividend of 2s. lid. per ►hare declared, remarking that the
profit was at the rate of 23 per cent. per annum.
A long discussion followed, in the course of which several
shareholders protested against a proposed &nudger:nation
with Briggs and Co., and complained that a call of 2t.
per sl,..re had been made at an inconvenient tame.
The CLUBMAN explained that the call was made to
prevent having to carry on the business of the com-
pany on credit at high rates of interest. Eventually' the
motion was carried unanimously ILA a vote of thanks given
to the chairman and directors.

before Mr. Tyrwhitt charneld with tbrea4a. a yoacg

- - •

The complainant said be was a witness on Wednesday in
a case in which two bakers were charged (and remanded)
with stabbing a woman. After the case was over he went
to the Marlborough Head public-house, opposite the court,
when the defendant's landlord said the defendant should
fight him for Si. for giving evidence against the men. He
told the men he did not want to fight, and the defendant
then said that the first time he met him out he would
settle him.

The defendant said the complainant first offered to fight
him, but this thecomplainant denied.
The complainant said the landlord of the Marlborough
Head beard what occurred.
Mr. Jobs Ellwood, of the Marlborough Head, was sent for
by Mr. Tyrwhitt, and he stated that he beard the defendant
say to the complainant, either he would pay him out, or
' settle him, and then some words ensued.
I Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant would have to find

WESTMINSTER.

Mr. LeICH, timber merchant, of Manor4trwet, Chokes,
was charged with wilfully and maliciously damaging a
fence at Chelsea.

Mr. John Semuel Phew, landed proprietor, at Chelsea,
said he bad been for a series of years subjected to a gnat
many lIIDDOJSZON respecting his pro He had remmtly
built • wall in a street jam f which wall had been
several times knocked down. He bad now erected a fence
to protect it, and that was wantonly pulled down by the de-
fendant at an early hour that morning.
Two policemen were celled in support of the charges.
They moved that defendant and two other men came out of
a tavern in the neighbourhood the previous night, when in
cousequence of the defeodant saying he would have the
fence down the polioe watched it, and saw bun return with
the men in a few minute. aad cut it down.

Mr. Smyth, solicitor for defendant, aces-examined the
oomplaioant to show that the boarding projected two or
three feet ow the footway, which war admitted.

The constables also, in Cross-examination, said there had
been complaints.
. .

Mr. Sniyth urged that this boarding was complained of
as both an obstruction and • nuisance. lo the present ful-
ness of ladies' dresser, they either had to walk out into the
dirty road or have their clothes damaged by this hoarding.
Defendant, acting upon the generally recognised principle
that a man bad a right to remove anything that obstructed
• right of way, had certainly been present, and bad at
least countenanced the pulling down of the fence.
' Mr. Arnold said that whatever might have been the old
notion about the right to remove, • recent decision in the
Court of Queen's Bench bad thrown a different light on the
matter, which would of coarse influence future decisions. It
was the practice in England when roads were mended to
pat up trowels on the highway in order to make the ear-
!laps roll down the new granite. A nobleman, consider-
ing she right of way impeded, broke down the trysails and
damaged them. He was fined before the justices for the
wilful damage, and his assertion of right was heard in the
Court of Queen's Bench, when it was decided that the jus-
' tines were right, and that the defendant was not justified in
the act he bad committed._

Mr. Smyth said it was for the imigistrate to say whether
this wu malicioux or wilful damage in the legal Neuss of
the words.

Zdr. Arnold said that thia must not be doe* again. If
there were auy rithta to dispute they meet be advocated io

EARL CLARENDON AT VIENNA.

11 The New Free Press of Vienna publishes an
article on the mission of the Earl of Clarendon to
the Austrian capital, the object of which is said
to be to induce Austria to change her policy with
regard to Italy. Lord Clarendon thinks, it de-
clares, that Austria cannot possibly remain passive,
and not do something towards the solution of the
Italian question. There are two roads to follow :
either a coalition with Prussia and Russia, which
England considers as disastrous, and in which
she would not join Austria, or an ad-
hesion to the Western policy—a course much
to be desired, and which, it affirms, would
have the support of England. The Vienna journal
states that the Duke de Crammont is to imme-
diately present to Count de Rechberg a despatch
notifying the Franco-Italian Convention, and that
Lord Clarendon remains at Vienna to await the
resolution which Austria may come to. The same
journal states that the Moniteur Universel is to
shortly publish a manifesto proposing a European
disarmament, and says on that subject :—" From
the first day of our appearance we pointed out the
necessity of Austria recognising what has been ac-
complished in Italy—a necessity which has now
become more urgent than ever. Austria will have
to decide on the interests of peace and of liberty ;
our desire is that her resolution may be in accord-
ance with the counsels of Lord Clarendon."

nist, and was 15 years and G months old. She resided with
'rime,s and her step-father. She was of good character,
but was very giddy, and used to go to • concert-hall. or
".sing-song shop," and remain out till 12 o'clock at night
Ilmeti:ues. She left home on Saturday morning, and wit-
tl:d not see her again alive.
. .

13::nj Creme; 3572 N, said that on Saturday morning

:3.°Al, near the Kingslaml•road, the crinoline, cloak, bonnet,
and hair pin of a young girl. As it was evident that some
one had committed suicide he caused the canal to be
:'.ruched and the deceased was brought up quite dead.

for the suicide of the deceased. She earned tls. a week, of
which sum she paid witness 51. for her board. She had not
been crossed in her affections. Witness did not know
whether abe had met a young man at the concert-hall.
No evidence as to the unfortunate cirl having been

The Opinions of to-day publishes an article upon
the state of the Italian finances. It expresses its
belief that the new ministry will not have recourse
to a fresh loan, but will carry into effect the mea-

The Opinione states the circulation of the Treasury
bonds to be 200 or 300 millions, "which," it con-
tinues, "ought not to cause any anxiety." By the
two measures above mentioned the Minister can
obtain 350 millions to meet the requirements of

The Opinion concludes by urging the new

CLERKENWELL.

Mary Sells, a milkwomau, was charged with committing
a murderous aassalt on Mrs. Hale Roach, of 8, Vine-West,
Leather-lane.

lir. Ricketts appeared for the prceecution ; and Mr. John
Wakiding for the defence.

The complaisant said that she contracted with Mr.
Osborn, of Bedford-street, Leather-lane, for the milk of
three cows. On Tuesday, the 27th of last mouth, she was
in the cow shed to milk her cows, and the prisoner black-
guard.d her, calling her a foul name. As she was about
to milk the third cow the prisoner got up and struck her
on the head with ► stool, eaying, •• Take that." The blow
was given with such forte that it produced a large wound,
sod blood flowed profusely. The prisoner followed this
up by again striking her on the shoulder with the shovel.
She was oohed that she had to be taken to the Royal
Free Hospital, where she was an is-pstieut for elevea days.
During that time she suffered great pin iu her head, and
her wounds had to be dressed twice s day. She is sow an
out-patient of the hospital, and was compelled to attend
at the hospital every day to have her wounds dreamed. In
cross-examination the prosecutriz admitted that she abused
the prisoner. sod witnesses were called who maid that as far
as bed language was concerned there were sit of one sod
half a doses of the other.

Mr. J. I). Hill, resident medical officer of the Royal Free
Hospital, said, that on the 27th of last month the com-
plaivant was brought to the hospital. She was very Paley
and was suffenon from the lose of • large quantity of
blood. He examined • large wound on her forehead. It
was about an inch and a half in extesit. It was • deanery&
wound, and the hone was exposed. The violence that pro-
duced that wound he considered might have prodooed in-
ternal hemorrhage. He considered that the blow was
&onerous, as it was liable to cause death of the hone and
produce Inflemenatioo of the bmio. _

Mr. Wakeling made an energetic defence, and Bald that,
ea both parties were to blame in the matter, be hoped the
magistrate would not think of seeding the case for trial,
but would inflict a flee.

The magistrate said it was a cam, after the evidence of
Yr. Hill, that he could not decide ; and he should there-
fore mend the case before a Jury. He would, however, take
the prisoser herself is MY., and two sureties in the
sun of U. each.

HER MAJWTY'S.

Novelties are plvutif ul in the Christman panto-
mime which Mr. W. Harrisoe provides. The very subject
is new. The legend of the waders between the two up-
porters of the royal crest before the ownership of the crown
was decided has never till now appeared In a panturniuuo
dress, and the very ineaAre accounts which traditml, sup-
plies of the nature and result of the contest leaves Hr.
H. J. Byroa ample scope for Iris inventive genius.
The usual hits upon the topics of the day are amusingly
introduced. amongst the more prominent of the allusions
being the suggestion of a now " Bsotiog" process, and some
rep. and closet tricks beyond anything the Davenports have
attempted.

This pantomime is smartly writteo, ably appointed, mad
well put upon the stage ; it is replete with attractive novel-
ties, arid, k. judge from the manner in which the tir.t rem-
imitation, with all it. imperfections, was received, it will
bold its place amongst the best of the prodtickuu. of the
present season.

HAYMARKEr.

Here the occasion was signalised in the first in-
stance by the se-appearance of Mr. Sothero, after en
absence from Loudon of SMUG mouths. lie played in two
pieces, namely, " D.trid Gsrrick," in which he seemed •
trite below his ordinary mark, as if suffering is some degree
from indisposition ; and afterwards in the eery materialistic
extravaganza of " Lord Dundreary Married," and the loud
welcome with which he was received when he entered in
the f►miliar " get up," doubtless raised his spirit., for be
was peculiarly happy asd genial in his efforts. The Christ-
mas piece succeeded, and consisted of • fairy turleimne
written by Mr. Henry Byron ; bele, founded,
as the authorities state, as the only tale of the
