John Parker, the uointssass, • man who had been in the
employment of the company 'or a lung time and was well
acquainted witli the duties to be performed by him in thus
espacity, had arranged that the two excursion trains which
had gone out to York and Goole that day, should on their
return be run down a coutinuation of the main line to the
East Lancashire line, instead of running up to the usual
arrival and departure plath rm, which would have
been inconvenient, from the limited space there at
command. In order to pass t"e train down the
East Lancashire line, however, it was necessary
that a pair of points, known as the East Lan-
cashire points, situate about 100 yards from the station,
should be kept open, or the train would, of necessity,
ran up to the arrival platform, were it was not intended
to have it. Parker had himself made these arrangements
with respect to where the train was to go, sod was quite
gegnizant of what 11.16 requisite in order to carry them
est. As pointsman, it was his spetific duty to be at the
most important point., those for turning the train upon the
East Lancashire line, but, instead of being there, without
telling any one, he delegated the duty to amen named Crib.
tree, who, without being paid by the company, or receiving
any authority from any of thee superior ofikers, had been
appointed as a pointsnian for Sunday duty in the shames
of Parker or the guard. There was nothing to show
that he was not competent to manage the points, and pos-
sibly if he had remained where he was told to stand be
would have let the train in properly but he, without any
authority, told a man, nsmedißridge (a blacksmith, with
such a peneltaat for railway jobs that he was accustomed,
alter he had finished his smithy labours, to stroll to the sta-
tion to take a turn there at the points when luggage traius
were to be let in, or to assist the goods' porters), to do the
work, while he went up to see the train come in. Bridge's
statement, partly corroborated by ether evidence, is that the
engine which brought in the train required to be shunted by
the use of another pair of points (about five yards from the
East Lancashire points) into the engine-shed siding, and
that just after he had so shunted it, and before he could
get back to t floe Lancashire points, the carriages came
down, passed the points which should have been open, and
ran into the siding. The guard was quite umeble to control
it, and the fetal accident took place. Had be been at the
East Lancashire points, the train would have been sent in
the proper direction ; but he declares he had not time to
get back before the train was upon the's% The train con.
rated of 3S eairitges, and was laden with 1,070 persons.
There were five breaks upon it, but only two guards to work
them, and consequently only two wore on, as the guard in
charge alleged the' he hod calculated upon going down the
longer distance, and with his two breaks he could have
brought his train up. The engine had been taken off, so
that the reverse motion could not be applied to retard the
wed. The carriage in which the people were killed was a
third.class, without any compartments inside, and it was
argued by the solicitors who watched the case as against
the railway company that that wee • weak method of
onastrwetien. The heifer, too, of the carriage. appeared
W brie bees of unequal heights, and it was urged that
tie lag Waded to rear the carriage" up, and so lead to
the assibas. There was not a single extra man at the
SUM= W receive this large train, and those regularly
*era, whoa called on to give evidence, bandied the re-
sponsibility from one to the other in such • manlier that it
was impossible to discover on whom the responsibility
vested. They all declared that Parker aught to have been
at the pinta, but he replied that his duty was over at seven
*Week at night, and that really he need not have been at
▪ dres am on. On the part of the company it was replied
that the earrisees were all carefully examined and declared
sound by a competent person before they were sent on the
journey, and that the framework of the one broken was
uninjured in that part which would have to bear the shock
of the collision ; that the two breaks would have been suf-
ficient to take the train safely down, supposing the points
had been attended to, and that, in the presence of Captain
Wynne, the government inspector, a train of 981 tuna had
been brought to a standstill three times on the incline by
the action of one break, less powerful than that on the train,
which weighed 174 tons, and had two breaks. The irre-
gularity of employing such men as Bridge and Crabtree
was admitted; but Captain Binstead, the superintendent,
said he had not tl..c slightest conception of such a system
being carried on.
The jury retired at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock pm. and
returned with the following verdict at 11 We find that
the four deceased hot their lives at the Burnley station of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway accidentally, in con-
aequestie of the return of the 0 ode excursion train running
into the siding instead of the mai., line connected with the
East Lancashire Railway, and coming in contact
with the buffers fixed in the masonry of the
abutment of the bridge at the terminus of the
said siding, thereby causing a violent concussion
to those carriages at the head of the train, and the total
demolition of the body of the carriage in which the deceased
were found. The cause of the train being thus run on the
siding the jury attribute to the points on the wooden bridge
being closed when the train passed, which should otherwise
have been opened to shunt the train on to the main line. It
apps an to the jury, from the evidence produced, that there
were only two guards, each working • brake, for this train
consisting of 3i carriages, and containing upwards of 1,000
passenger, which they consider were quite inadequate to
cheek the impetus of such a train descending an incline;
and that had more guards accompanied the train to work
the brakes, or had the engines not been detached from the
train, but their action had been reversed in descending
the incline, the jury are decidedly of opinion this accident
would have been,if not entirely prevented,very much lass fatal
in itsconsequences. The jury are unanimously agreed that
the sole cause of this accident was owing to the deficiency
of guards and pointsmen to let the train safely down tbe
incline into the station, and to the employment of incompe-
tent and irresponsible men, and to the want of order and
discipline amongst the company's servants generally, and
the total absence of any responsible person to
direct and superintend the safe arrival and unloading
of the train ; and they feel bound to state that the greatest
negligence was displayed by the executive officials of the
railway company on this occasion. It is the opinion of the
jury.there is great blame to be attached to the selection of
carriages for this train—more particularly on account of
their inequality in size and difference in the height above
the rails to the centre of the buffers, as given in evidence.
At the same time, the jury wish to record that they
had no opportunity of forming an opinion of their
condition and construction, as the whole were re-
moved before they were called upon to visit the
station. Its conclusion the jury beg to submit to the dine-
tors of this railway that In their opinion the siding into
which the ordinary arrival trains run is fraught with
imager, in consequent* of being situated at the bottom of
an incline and terminating against a strong, dead buffer."
The Coroner—Then your verdict as to death is
accidental?"
Foreman—Yes.

RIGHT OP • CJICRCITWARDEN TO REMOVE A
TOVIC4TOIII.—At the Uttoseter County Court on the lith
instant, great intemt was excited by the ease of Baxter v.
Wilders. The matter in dispute was the removal of a head-
stone, placed in the churchyard of Uttouter, by the
plaintiff, to the memory of his father, and which was
removed therefrom by the defendant, oce of the church
wardens, and placed outside the church gate, where it has
remained for the last two months. The action now brought
was to recover damages for the loss occasioned te the plaintiff
by the removal of the stone. The stone was a cruciform one.
Yr. Simpson, on behalf of the defendant, argued that the
rose having been put 410 WEI without the consent of the
ehotreliwarden, it had been done illegally, and that he had a
eight to remove it it be thought it objectionable ; it
wee put of Ina diey to remove all nuisances, and
in removing this stone he bad not at all exceeded his
duty.—The Judge said this was. very simple state offsets,
and he could not deviate from the evidence before him,
which was, that the plaintiff, as eldeet son of his deceased
parents, had 'reeled a tombstone to their memory. lie
applied to defendant as church warden —gaeo Kim a copy .of
the inicription, at his request 14.1 W him again, and was told
to wait till Easter, which he did, and long alter that time.
Before erection, the engraver applied to the sexton and
war admitted; no force was used, and as far es appeared
la evidence, an dram had been expressed that they should
Rot er t it. Whether the churchwarden bad a right to
preen, the erection of a stone or not was not the quiration
before him, nor should he give any opinion thereon. Ike
clueviim was, whether when the stone, having bees erected
seder the present state of facts, the defendant
had any right to remove it. It was put down
valet cireametaasse which tended to show prised
Jmnr, that it was rightfully placed there • the communi-
cations between plaintiff and defendant, sod the delay of
time till after Easter, giving the defendant every opportu-
nity of taking legal camas to prevent it. erection, if he had
say right to do so. These means he had never used. Tee
ditarthwarden might have the custody of the churchyard,
bat the sexton was his agent. Application was therefore
Male to the rhurchwarden through that agent, and permis-
sion obtained ; and it appeared to his Honour that the
plaintiff had acted with strict prudence, propriety, andartiran
; hot it he had acted improperly in its erection, the
thurchwarden had nn right whatever to take the law into
his own hands. His Honour could not see anything ob-
jectionable in the stone. The churchwarden mast apply to
the ordinary, and proceed in a legal manner for the removal
of anything objectionable. His Honour, therefore, consi-
dered the defendant guilty of an illegal act, and that the
plaintiff was entitled to recover the value of the stone.—A
verdict was given accordingly with eats.—elepreisiiire

very of speeches by the boys took place aceonang to an-
nual custom. The usual banquet and regatta also took
place in the afternoon.

It was near midnight before the court closed, and
the jury, who had retired for refreshment only once during
the day, appeared to be much wearied and ezhausted. A
great number of persons, inclsding the principal servants
of the company, had awsited the conclusion, and otherwise
evinced great interest in the proceedings. Parker was, of

the
British ship Reciprocity, on the 28th of June, whilst on her
pump from Mobile to Liverpool. The vessel was in let.

made to subdue the fire, but at length the flames bunt
through the hatches, and in a monieut the ship was biasing
from stem to stern. The mate and eight of the crew es.'
capeil in the jolly boat, and alter being exposed (or three
days, without food or water, were picked up by • fish
vessel, and landed at St. John's. The tate of the master
and 17 other persons motorising the rest of the crew and
passengers, is at present uncertain; there is reason, how-
ever, to hope that they may have been picked uo by a
schooner that was seen to bear down. The fire is attributed
to the spontaneous combustion of the cotton cargo.
HEGIRA OF TIIE CHINESE.—It appears, says the
San Francisco Herald, that China, unable longer to sustain
its population, is sending out emigrants to all parts of the
world. With lle crowds that have poured into this country,
our people are a'readaequainted. We have published
statements showing they are emigrating in numbers to
South America. Manilla, Java, and many others of the
East India islands contain thousands of them. They have
commenced too an inroad into Australia, one vessel
heiriag arrived at Moreton Bay with 228 coolies on hoard.
Dissatisfaction had sprung up among the people of Chit
