FATAL Acrmiorr ON THE LONDON AND NORM-
Wiwi= Rattwar.--An inquest was held yesterday even-
ing en Jean Hinckansan, Esq a gentleman of considerable
psePstpe residing in Queen Ann-street, London, who met
as the North-Western Railway, at Sudbury, on
Idemilay night lot. The inquest was held in one of the
teem of the Sudbury station, T. Wakley, Esq., coroner,
Presiding. The facts of the case appeared to be as follows
On Monday night the unfortunate gentleman having been
dining with some friends in the neighbourhood, proceeded
to the Wittier at Sudbury, for the purpose of returning to
town by the train which leaves Aylesbury at a quarter be-
fore seven in the evening, and should arrive at Sudbury at
twenty-three minutes past nine. It appeared, however,
that the eemed gentleman crossed from the up to the
rd Nei beeries a train approaching the up-line, he
pleesedled helitemmes to reach the platform, believing it
to be the Wit which he had been waitinr, and which
stopped Ise pegemigers at this station. Such was not, how.
ever, the ihst i it was the express train from Newcastle,
which tie dittoes at a very accelerated speed,
sad egmeliseabW behind the stated time, led to
the Mg here deeldbed. At the time of passing
the Seamy elation, the left was moving at the rate
of at laseitihrly ailed per been, the engine being driven
by a very steady man, who hes beet In the employ of
the company from its consmenessmel, named William
Howard, and the guard, Henry Resign The engine being
propelled at such a velocity, came in contact with the unfor-
tunate gentleman, the buffers of which struck hint and car-
ried his a dietanoe of at least sixty yards, and the greater
part of the wheels of the carriages passed over his body. As
soon as the engine-driver was aware of the accident the
engine was reversed, and the breaks applied to stop the train.
Having proceeded to the spot, they discovered the remains of
the body, which was mutilated in a manner almost too
shocking for description, portions of it lying in all directions,
his intestines crushed, and portions of his brains adhering to
the wheels of the engine. It would be sickening to enter
further into details of the dresdflat scene, but it may be suffi-
cient to state that it was inspowible to distingnish, from the
appearance of the body in its mangled state, as to whom it
belonged. No blame whatever was attributable to the rail-
way company or its servants, at it was the opinion of
all parties that the melancholy event was purely accidental,
and such as no human foresight could guard against. The
jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of
" Accidental death."

MAITNDAT THI7Ii9DAY AT ROME.—Sir,—lt ap-
pears, front your paper at Tuesday, August 31, that some
person has given as a reason for not assisting the Pop* in
his liberal reforms, that our Queen, with her protestant
clergy, nobles, and people are all annually excommunicated
and ansthematised for disobedience to the Roman Pontiff, ou
Maunday Thursday. The person who asserts this could
never have been present at the Roman ceremonies on 3laun-
day Thursday, or he must be completely ignorant of the
Latin language, to make such a false assertion ; for, in the
church service for that day there is nothing of the sort, as it
is almost entirely composed of psalms and other portions of
scripture, excepting a few of the words proper to the mar.
On Good Friday, the exhortation is—" Oremes et pro
hx.reticitt sehismaticis nt Deus et Dominus nester eruat ea
ab erroribus uoiversis, et ad sancta= matrem Eoclessiam
Catholicam atque Apostolicam revocare dignetur." Which.
in plain English means—" Let us pray also for heretics and
schismatics, that our Lord God would be pleased to deliver
them from all their errors and recall them to our holy mother
the catholic and apostolic church." There are other passages
to the same effect, which any one may see in the Roman
missal, which is used in England also. But "ex uno disc
omnes " the church that prays for heretics, as ours does, is
not likely to inculcate anything uncharitable or =scriptural.
—I am, sir, yours, A CATHOLIC.

SIR CLOUDESLET SHOVEL'S FLEET.—The Hamp-
shire Telegraph states that Sir Cloudesley Shovel's ships'
guns, about 30 in number, and several round and cross-bar
shots were seen on the 17th ult. near a rock called the Oil-
stone, to the westward of the Scilly Islands, by a diver be-
longing to the cutter Argyle, of Jersey. Two of the guns
could be raised with ease, but the remainder are covered
over by a rock apparently of about 30 tons weight, which
must have fallen upon t►em. Two round shots of about
241 b., and a cress-bar shot of some weight, have been
asked up.
