DESAYISHIPL
A FATAL ACCIDINT OCCO/AWID OW TIM MA:MHZ/ITU
•ND SHEFFIILD ILAILWAT yesterday, near the Glossop
Junction, on the confines of Derbyshire. Two engines had
left Newton, neer Manchester, at seven o'clock in the morn-
ing, and stopped at the Dieting Vale station to attach a
waggon. They then left the station to run along the down
line to Manchester, to clear itof the newly-Men snow which
impeded the progress of the trains. An empty passenger
train, on its way to Hadfield, to start for Manchester. fol-
lowed them about a quarter of an hour afterwards, and on
approaching them ;unfortunates was hidden from eight by
a curve of the line, and the engines being moving at a slow
pace were run into. The eagine-driver of the passenger
train, James Robinson, attempted to save himself by leaping
from his engine, but fell sawn the raft, and the tender and
carriages of his own train went over his body and killed him
on the spot The collision was so serious that several of the
carriages were crushed, and two of the engines were much
shattered. It is said that an attempt wee made to signal
the driver of the passenger train as he pawed one of the
stations, but owing to the weather the machinery was out
of order.

CORNWALL.
FOOD Burr& Delegates from other mines appealed
amongst the Par Consols Minas last week, and it wee ru-
moured that they and Poway 00010111 Mines would step
the shipment of corn at Par. On hearing this, Mr.
Treffry took natant measures to prevent any collision, ad
the rani left the harbour without molestation. On Baler-
day not a man was underground at Par Console, and Yr.
Treffry was sent for expires to &timed the setting at Fowey
Consols when he inquired if the minors had any grievants'
to complain of; stated to them his regret at the low-
ness of their wages, conaiderhtg the present price of corn ;
but satisfied them that, owing to the low standard of copper
ores, after the adventurers had paid the other envenom of the
mine, they had all its proceeds. Not a man complained of
his amount of wages. Mr. Trof.fry pointed out to them the
folly of taking the law into their own hands, whether by
stopping the shipment of own, or in any other way ; adding,
that if they misconducted themselves, they would be still
greeter sufferers ; but that if they behaved orderly and quiet,
he could not think that ministers would aggravate their pre-
sent distress, by complying with the petition of the Birmuist-
ham manufacturers, smelters, end others, which would ruin
Fowey Consols, and most other deep mines, and throw them
all out of work. After this addles', the Fowey Consols
miners freely took their pitches, and the Par Consols men
also went to work the same morning.—PlyinourA Journal.

REPRISENTATION or OLouoirrua.—lt has been ru-
moured that T. 0. Clayton, Esq., of Byerly Hill, Yorkshire,
has promised to come forward for this city at the next gene-
ral election, on Whig-radical principles. Whether Mr.
Clayton intends to oppose the aittieg members, or will offer
himself in the event of the reuguetson of either, is not yet
stated.

REralearrirrow or-Law'.—lt has for some time
put been generally understood in this borough, that Sir 11.
Elphinstree, bark, M.P., was about to retire from the re-
presentation of Lewes, and it has been rumoured that the
writ will be moved for in a few days. Yesterday morning
a placard appeared, announcing
.that W. Lyon, EA , was
in the field on the conservative interest. hfr. Lyon, it is
supposed, will find a powerful opponent in the Hon. H.
Brent, eon of the Hon. General Trevor, • popular landed
proprietor of liberal principle., residing in the neighbour-
hood of Lewes. Mr. Cubit*, C.E., sad, with much more
probability: John Villiers Shelley, Es., of Maresfield-
park, in this county, have been mentioned as liberal candi-
dates.

EASTON-LODOI DESTIOTID DT 1111J1.—Abridged from
the Essex Herald of this day.)—Easton-lodge, near Great
Dunmow, the residence of Viscount Maynard, which pow
messed • peculiar interest in this pert of the kingdom, not
only from its presenting a noble pile in the Elizabethan style
of architecture, modified by the Mate and the luxury of the
present day, but forming the residence of the Lord Lieuten-
ant of Essex, is now a heap of black rains, beneath which
lies buried much costly and valuable property. The calm
miry, which has laid the main body of the fine old house in
ruins, occurred at an early hour on Sunday morning,
and the first signs of the destruction that followed
appear to have been discovered by his lordship himself. It
seems that at three o'clock in the morning, while the noble
viscount was in bed, his attention was at.rected to a strange
crackling noise in some of the other apartment, and the first
thought that suggested itself being that thieves were sadea-
vouneg to effect an entrance, his lordship rose and proceeded
to his sire ing-room. There he found an enemy for more
formidable than human robber'. The whole apartment wee
filled with a dense amok', and the Manses were already cart-
ing up the walls of one aide of the room, though the imme-
diate cause of this ignition did sot appear, and it seems,
from all the accounts that have resehed tw, that even up
to this time it remains unknown. His lordship,
with great promptitrde and presume of mind,
endeavoured, in the arstinstanes, so to apply the carpet as to
smother the rising Barnes; and all the household being
aroused, the servants set vigorously to work with buckets of
water to endeavour to check the flat progress of the destroyer.
This it was soon found was vain. The older part of the
mansion was built chiefly with timber, and the flames laying
a stronger and deeper hold of the ponderous beam' of the
ancient architect, defied all efforts to arrest them. It was
then resolved to summon the aid of the neighbour-
hood, by means of the alarm-bell, when it was found
in this they were foiled; the rope of the bell had
become entangled, and thus rendered useless • but
the situation of the mansion was soon titer an-
nounced to the inhabitants of the district by the red glare
in the sky. Engines from Dummy and Thasted won ar-
rived. But in the mean time the flames had made fearful
progrem. The whole middle potties of the mansion was
one entire blue. Many perm= who reached the spot early
had directed their efforts to the saving of the books, psa
tares, and other valuable articles in the library and billiard-
room, in which they succeeded, so that the valuable paint-
ings, with few exceptions, were saved and placed in the
granary, and a large quantity of plate end costly furniture
stowed in the coach.bouse and other buildngs, about 20
horses having been turned into the park in order to make
room. While the work of denotation wee going on, the
noble viscount was busy directing the darts of the firemen
and assistants; and Lady Maynard nod the Hon. Kiss
Maynard, notwithstanding the Gehl dr els wintry morning,
maintained their plan apse theism% wasidag the destruc-
