NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING
MEETING.

CIMUM MUMMY (YEBTERDAY).—Mr. Kidd
said, in order that the views of the assembly might be clearly
set oat to the people be had to propose the issuing of a ge-
net! address which he had drawn up. It was directed to
men of all elutes in Great Britain and Ireland. The address,
which embodied the views of the assembly, was then read.
and, after considerable discussion, was unanimcrisly agreed
to. Mr. Dixon (the chairman) said he had received a copy of
• resolution which wan agreed to at a public meeting, held at
Norwich, requesting him to resign his seat in the assembly as
• delegate for that city, and he wished to know whether it
was the wish of the amenably that he should resign or not ?
Mr. Shaw said if the chairman resigned he for one would
feel it necessary to vacate his seat as a delegate; for, if once
they lost their head, he thought there would be an end to
their proceedings. Ile, therefore wished to know, before
he gave his consent to Mr. Dixon's withdrawal, whether the
resolution requesting him to resign was passed at a full
public meeting? Mr. Dixon mid it was not so large a
meeting u the one at which he was elected. He was pre-
pared to run all risks, and would continue chairman if the
delegates wished it, but he would suggest the propriety of
the business committee communicating with his constituents.
It was then agreed that Mr. Dixon should remain chair-
man until his co atituents were communicated with.
Dr. M'Douall proposed a resolution that the assembly, as
a body, would not entertain any question affecting the
character of Mr. O'Connor or any other gentleman. He
repudiated all personalities. The resolution wan seconded
by Mr. Wild, and carried without dissent. The assembly
was occupied daring the remainder of the Fitting in disctu•-
ing the plea of organisation. It was agreed that the funds
of the association be deposited in the Land and Labour Bank
of Mr. O'Connor. Mr. Adams, the delegate for Glamp,w,
was the only one who opposed the motion. The manner in
which he held up his head, and the significant smile on his
eoentenanee, asbeed a good deal of emmeterneut.
MURIA:R.—On Tuesday morning two men, named
John Williams and Jenkin Evans, were murdered at a cot-
tage on the Loughor-road, about three miles from Swansea,
by Nome Irishmen during a drunken row. The murderers
Lace not been taken.

IVESTERN RAILWAY.

Since receipt of the accounts of this melancholy
occurrence, publiskesl in another page, the following particu-
lars have come to hand. The fo.lowing is an authentic list
of the sufferers :
VENIIAM, Thursday
DEAP.--The Rev. Mr. retail's., of Penzance; The Rev.
Mr. Sandy-, of Stroud; Mr. Wdshere, of ith ; • servant
(name unknown).
lax uttEit.—Captain Blair, ILN., of Penzance, injury of
spine (supposed fatal) ; Mr. Carlton, dislocates, aside (a bad
case); Mr. Conway, of the Temple, lacerah d legs, and much
cut in the knee ; Mr. Lindsay, of Cork, severely bruised ;

veodish.square, arm severely cut, and other injuri:s—ampu-
tation must follow; Mr. J. Ellis, head cut; Mr. Maehen,

much hurt; Mr. Pearce, both knees injured, but nut se-
vs rely •, Mr. Sergeant, of l'utney Heath, not much hurt ;
Hugh Hedge, head and face severely cut, and elbows much
injured (a bad rase.)
It appears that the melancholy accident occurred
thus; The up-express train was twenty.tiva minutes late,
and two of the porters at the Shrivecham station, supposing
that it had passed up the line, pushed two carriages from
the g oda' shed on to the main line, without either actoliut-
log the policeman or turning the signal on.
The striver of the express engine says it would have been
impossible to have avoided the accident, even with an ordi-
nary train.
