At fair o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Bills, the district
coroner, opened an inquiry into the cause of the accident
at the Fountain Hotel, Sittangbourne. The company was
represented by Mr. Bishop, principal superintendent, Mr.
Medley, locomotive supenotendent, and Mr. Cobb, one of
the directors ; Sir Charles Fox, the company's engineer, was
sad pury.resent to give any necessary information to the coroner
j
The Coroner, after the jury had been sworn, stated that
it was not his intention to take evidence at great leinfth on
that occasion, as he intended adjourning the inquiry to
enable all the facts connected with the accident to be laid
before the' jury. It would be better for the jury to visit
the spot where the accident happened, which would pro-
bably suable tom to arrive at the awes of the accident.
Mr. Bishop, on rimciaLiart of the railway company, offered
=mar the ever, y he the prosecution of the inquiry.
John Christopher Barnard, station master at Sitting.
bourne, identided the body of deceased as that of William
Bead. Deceased was 46 yews of age, and had bees in the
company's service upwards of two rears. The whams maw
the train pees through flittiagbourne station at about 9.90
on the previous night at its usual speed. On bearingof the ac-
cident from the driver of the up goods train witness west to
thespot and found the eagles off the line and deceased lying
under it. He was then quite dead.
The Coroner remarked that he would not ask the witness
any more questions on that ocoasico, as the jury would go
and inspect the line.
Mr. Edward R. Bar, surgeon, deposed that immediately
on hearing of the accident he went to the spot, and found
deceased under the engine, and quite dead. The witness
remained there until deceased was removed at about two
that morning. The cause of death was the ribs being
forced in on the heart, and death must have been instan-
taneous.

The Coroner said that was the whole of the evidence he
intended taking that day. The jury would proceed to view
the spot where the accident occurred, after which the in-
quest would stand adjourned for one week.
The jury, accompanied by the coroner and the officials of
the company, then proceeded in omnibuses and cabs to the
scene of the accident, and spent some time in inspecting
the line at the spot. The huge engine still lay where it
fell over, but the tender and all the • but one
had been removed. The down line of rail had also been
relaid to enable the traffic to be carried over the line.
Superintendent Green, of the Kent county police, who
visited the spot immediately after the accident, pointed oat
to the jury the spot at which the engine first left the line,
which he clearly observed by the appearance of the mils
and permanent way. The lime, however, having been sauce
repaired, there was nothing in the appearance of the metals
to aasiat the jury in defining the caused the accident.
After spending about an hour in the examination of the
line, engine, and broken carriages, the jury returned to
Sittingbourne, and the inquest was then adjourned.

THE BIRKENHEAD RIOTS.

On Monday evening, about sixty of the principal
clergy and laity of the established church and dissenting
communions of Birkenhead, attended a meeting °pursued
by the Rev. Dr. Bayles, and held in the Park Hotel,
Birkenhead, for the purpose of expressing their indignation
at the late riotous proceedings of the Roman catholic mob
who attacked Dr. Baylee's church, and also the building in
which the Birkenhead Parliamentary Debating Society hold
their meetings.
The Rey. Dr. BATLED handed in a letter from a person
of respectability, in which the writer wade the following
statemeut, and challenged contradiction ;—" When the mob
left Holy Trinity Church on Wednesday evening last, they
followed the priest into Wateou-street, where be addressed
them. I distractly heard the following in his @peach :
'I And no fault with what you have done tonight. For
my owe part, I consider Garibaldi a viper, a blackguard. I
can call him aotbing else, because of his doings in our be.
loved Italy ; and therefore, as true catholic', it is our duty
to be against him, or against any movement which tends to
sympathise with him. Garibaldi demands not the slightest
sympathy from us. (Hear, hear.) You have prevented
their haring it meeting, because they were compelled to
put out the gas and close the doors. Thus you have gained
a glorious victory—(loud applause, and a voice, " Three
cheers for the Pope I" followed by deafening cheers)—and
all of you consider it u • victory and now go home to
your own bromides, and there talk it over with your wives
and children.'" (Great cheering.) After eourideirable
discussion as to the propriety of holding a pub-
lic meeting, the following motion, proposed by
the Rev. James Mann (Independent), was carried:—
" That in consequence of the riot of lest week the anthoei-
ties of the borough be called upon to protect the inhabitants
in the enjoyment of their civil rights." The majority of
those present were of opinion that as the Birkenhead police
face were Roman eatholice, they had hesitated in doing
their duty on the occasion of the recent riot? and would not
be an efficient protection to the inhabitants in case of such
disgraceful proceedings being repeated. The head constable
at Birkenhead is also a Roman catholic.

Tea HIAMMILY CAZZIAGE ACT. —A general meet-
ing of the hackney carriage masters of Loudon was held last
eveningg at Anderton's Hotel, for the purposeof forming a
union of the proprietors in the London districts, with
the view of obtaining a levities of the present Hackney
Carriage Act. Mr. Ayres, of South London, was called to
the chair. Mr. Pickering, the secretary of the Surrey
Hackney Carriage Proprietors!' Association, road a long nor.
respondence which had takeu place between Sir B. Maya.,
the commissioner of police, and himself, on behalf of
the proprietors, by which it appeared that the pro-
prietors complained of the want of accommodation
ro standing room on the ranks, and the inefficient supply
of water for the hones ; of the liability of proprietors being
summoned for inefficient tabs or hones without any Bolin ;
of the 6d. per mile only being allowed for the tint hiring ;
and of the regulations respecting luggage. No satisfactory
reply had yet bees received from Sir R. Mayne. Several
proprietors addressed the meeting, detailing the grievances
under which the trade was labouring, and resolltions were
adopted recommending a renewal union of the tnuie, with
the oli}ect of obtaining a select committee of the House of
Commons to inquire into the working of the present net,
and to furnish evidence to that committee showing the
necessity for a complete revision of the present act.
COMPLETION OF WINTMINISTER-BElDOE.—Althoogh
the entire roadway of the new bridge at Westminster has
been open for traffic sine the marriage of the Princess
Alice, yet it was only yesterday evening that the sound of
the hammer and trowel eased to be heard upon It, when
the tut tile of the western footway was laid. The piles,
which for the last 14 or 15 years blocked up the current of
the river, have been all drawn, and at that part of the
river the navigation is is free and unimpeded. Still
some of the clAris of the old bridge remains, and renderavi
portion of the new structure—the eastern side of the Mid.
dine: abutment—unsightly. It will be probably soon
removed to be need in the embankment of the Thames. On
