SPORTING.

PARIS ACTUNIN RACES.
Notwithstanding the weather was rather gloomy,
and the streets and rush very dirty, large crowds of all i
classes wended their way to the Champ de Mars to witness i
the first of tire Paris autumn races. When the day's busi-
ness commenced the stands, though affording more exten-
sive accommodation than usual, were crowded, chiefly by
fashionably attired ladies. Within the ropes there was
a very numerous gathering of carriages, all fully oc-
cupied. Within the cords pedestrian spectators were
thickly clustered, and the attendance of members
of the Jockey Club, and of gentlemen interested
in racing, was extraordinarily great. The races, which ex-
cited great iatertst, were warmly contested, though the
atartings were not so well managed as they might have been.
The President of the republic arrived shortly after the
day's badness had commenced, and remained to the close,
occupying the stand specially prepared for him. The
prince, both on his arrival and departure, was received with
every mark of the most profound respect. Ile was obacrved
to converse gaily with some ladies an his trisune. The
President was attended by General Ito"u. et, his Aide-de-
camp, and by some of his ofticiers d'ordonnauce. Prince
Murat, the Ministers of Finance and Justice, the Prefects
of the Seine and Police were amongst the distinguished
rersonages present. The day' s proceedings were as fol-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON TIIE EAST LANCASHIRE
AILWAY.—An accident occurred on Monday on this
way, which greatly ri,clulded that which took place a few
weeks ago on the Buckinghamshire Railway. The acci-
dent occurred at a place called Clifton, about tire miles
from Manchester, where there are two junctions. The
tint, called the Mullyneux Junction, is where the London
and North Western l'atricroft Branch runs otf the East
Lancashire line, down a rather steep incline to the right.
The other is about three hundred yards nearer to Man-
chester, where the East Lancashire comes upon the
Lancashire and Yorkshire line from Bolton to Manchester,

and is called the Clifton Junction. The Mullyneux Junc-
tion is not much used, and there is no station, but merely
a pair of self-acting points. The train due in Manchester
at 3.4 i, p.m., from Colne, Darnley, Accrington, and Black-
burn, over the East Lancashire line, was passing the points
at the Mullyneux junction when the carriages passed on
to the Patricroft branch, whilst the engine and tender kept
the line towards Manchester. There were nine carriages,
including a composite following the engine, withLlstmage
van immediately belied it. All the carriages on
Ito the branch, and kept the rails for about 30 yards , where
they went off the line, and came to a stand in the
form of a semicircle. Thu first carriage had nearly
regained the East Lancashire line when they stopped, not-
withstanding the higher level of that line, which is there
about a yard above the branch. The engine was brought
up without getting off the line, or the driver and stoker re-
ceiving injury. Ihe carriages, however, came in collision'
at the corners, and the passengers were thrown about, and
a good deal bruised. The guard, a man named Tyson
from Colne, was found to have received a blow on the head,
which rendered him insensible, and up to yesterday morn- i
ing fears were entertained that he had sustained a con-
cuesion
of the brain which would prove fatal. There
were six passengers injured, but none fatally. Mrs.
Lennox and child, of Manchester, with a third
passenger, Mr. Holmes, of Bradford, were removed to
the Brunswick Hotel, Manchester, as soon after
the accident took place as possible, and were attended by
De. Harrison, the medical inspector of the line. Mrs. Len-
nox had received several rather severe contusions, the most
serious of whisk was one from a blow on the hip-bone.
Ohs was progressing favourably yesterday morning, but is
bkei to be confined to her bed fur sonic days. Mr. Holmes
was alas deovering yesterday, though one thigh was
severely bruised by coming in contact with one of the car-
riage doom. Mr. Robinson, licensed victualler, Man-
chester, was hurt by P blow on one of the ribs ; Mr. W. K.
Stock, Ifulnie, by a blow across the throat; and Mr.
Robert Slack, of Millgate, Manchester, by a blow
on one thigh ; but they were not severely hurt.
The carriages were a good deal broken at the cor-
ners, where they came in contact with each other, and the
luggage-van was thrown over. The train had to stop at
the Clifton junction, that the tickets might be collected, so
that it was probably not going at a speed exceeding 10 or
12 miles an hour when the accident happened, or the results
might have been more serious. The servants of the com-
pany got the lines cleared again in about two hours, so that
the traffic was not seriously interrupted. One of the mas-
sive rails used on this line was bent as though it had been a
twig, and the chairs on which it rested were broken. How
the accident was occasioned is not known, but it is supposed
that the points of the Patricroft branch had not acted
properly, and that though the engine and tender passed
safely, the carriage following struck against them.
THE LEEDS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.—On Monday,
the examination into the charges preferred against the
chaplain of this establishment was resumed and completed
before 11. B. Fantail, Esq., poor law inspector for the
Leeds district, and the board of guardians. For the bat
twelve months the board of guardians have had a vast
amouut of trouble with officers of this institution,
arising principally out of disputes between the chaplain
sad the master, one part of the officers taking the
aide of the chaplain, and the other part the side of the master.
In the first instance the chaplain made a series of charges
against the master and other officers, which were inquired
Into at the time by the guardians and disproved. The
Bev. Mr. Nicholls, the chaplain and head-schoolmaster, not
being satisfied with this decision, wrote to the Poor-law
Board on the subject, who ordered their inspector to hankie
Sato all the arrangements of the school ; and after the la-
(airy, there appeared some prospect of the chophia mil
the other of working together more harrawsinaly.
esbecvsently it became necessary to appoint a mad
seater in the place of the one damned. Mr. Dee
the gentleman so appoiated, lad no sooner entered
ems his duties than the kirear disputes were
fledged, and it was alms& emir* the chaplain that
be bed endemism& be lime the wind of Mr. Barr against
