FATAL OCCURRF.SCE AT ASCOT RACES.—At Ascot
races, on Thursday evening. a man loot his life by the hand
of a tradesman, Mr. John Dell, of Sonning, near Reading.
A party of the residents of Sonning went to the races on that
day among whom were Mr. Dell and a Mr. Arnold, surgeon,
late of Boni bag. Soon after the races it seems that Mr.
Arnold by some means or other left Mr. Dell, and was ob-

friend, Mr. Dell, hearing of the circumstance, and knowing
that ho had a sum of money about him, went to him, and not
thinking him safe in such society, wished him to leave his
comp►nion. This request was repeated. and Dell at leng'h
succeeded in getting his friend away. At this time a man
came up, and wanted to know of Dell what he had to do
with the matter, in interfering with Mr. Arnold; some
words took place between them, and the man placed himself
in lighting attitude. Whether he struck Mr. Dell er not is
uncertain, but the latter gave the man a violent blow on the
side of the neck, and he immediately fell senseless on the
ground and died. The body, however, was conveyed to Sun-
ninghill, where an inquest was held. Verdict, "Justifiable
homicide.

The train which left Dorchester for London at • quarter
before Mx list Saturday morning, on approaching a place
called St. Leonard's bridge, between Wimbartie and Ring-
wood, went with accelerated speed, according to usual prac-

St. Leonard's•bridge there is &siding, and after any waggon
has left or entered a self acting lever clears the moill
It appears that owing to the rain the lever became musty, or
from some other cause it did not clear the main after some-
thing had passed it. The consi queue. was, that the train
above.meutio ied ran into the siding for about 100 pugs,
against three waggons, laden with fir poles. Fortunately,
the waggons gave way, or the consequences would have been
most serious : as it was, the waggons were knocked to atom*,
the buffer planks of the engine were reduced to splinter*, all
the forepart of the engine was destroyed, the ea.gine-driver
was wounded (it is feared fatally), and the fireman was in-
jured. The paw ngera escaped unhurt. The train was de-
layed three or lout hours.
