S. Driscoll was charged with assaulting T. Lchay, po-

The complainant, who appeared to he suffering from the
prisoner's violence, said that a little after twelve o'clock on
the night of the 7th instant he was on duty in Tooley-
street, when he heard a disturbance outside a public-house.
ne went to the spot, and saw the prisoner assaulting a
sailor. The latter had two black eyes, and called upon wit-
ness to take the prisoner into custody. Ile laid hold of
him for that purpose, when he struck witness be-
tween the eyes, knocking him down and rendering
him insensible for some time. While in that state
the prisoner must have either kicked him in the
head, or struck him with some instrument, as his face was
cut about in a shocking manner. Ile was assisted to the
policr.station, and attended to by a surgeon, and on his re-
covery he applied fur a warrant against the prisoner. Last
evening witness met him, seal :apprehended him, when he
again assaulted him, but assistance came up, and secured

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT NORTII-
Eng RAILWAY SCATI,/N —This morning Mr. Wukley held
an inquest in the board-room of the Royal Free Hospital,
Gray's-inn-road, as to the death of Jonas Foster, who was
killed on Monday last at the tie at Northern Railway sta-
tion, as stated in the Esvalsi of that day. The facts us
there recounted havi,t been given in evidence, the jury
returned a verdict of" Accident,! death."
ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND 11.111.w-AY.—About
two o'clock yesterday morning, a serious accident occurred
to a goods train, proceeding from Derby to Leeds, which, be-
sides occasioning a complete stoppage of the line for several
hours, will entail a con,iderable loss on the Midland Com-
pany. It appears that a goetts train, consisting of between
31) and 44.1 waggons, heavily laden, was proceeding between
Chesterfield and Stareley, when the axle of one of the trucks
near the engine suddenly broke, and threw it off the li.,e.
The impetus with which the train was then moving caused
the remainder of the waggon, to come into violent collision
with it. One atter another they were thrown off the line, and
soon formed a heterogeneous minis of goods and broken wag-
gons, which rendered completely impassable both the up cunt
down rails. The telegraph was immediately called into re.
quisition, and information of the accident forwarded to
Chesterfield and Eekinoton, with instructions to detain the
mail train from London, which leaves Derby for the north
at 2.1.1 a.m., and also the night mail from Leeds, until the
obstruSions were removed. Every exertion was made to
accomplish this object with all possible despatch, but not-
withstanding this, it was between seven and eight o'ciork
before the line was sufficiently cleared an as to enable the
trains to proceed. In addition to the injury which mam-
a the waggons sustained, a large proportion of the goods
with which they were freighted were more or less seriou-ly
damaged. Nu Ultimo is attached to any quarter in respect
to the accident.
