PRESENTATION OP A BUGLE TO THE SEVENTH
MIDDLESEX (ISLINGTON) VOLUN'TEERS.

Yesterday the ceremonial of presenting a eilver
bugle, the gift of the ladies of the district, to the Seventh
Midi!rex Rile (Islington) Volunteers, took place in the
beautiful and extensive ground@ of Thomas Hale, Eaq.,
Lawn-house, Holloway. The gates of the ground. ware
thrown *pen at 3 o'clock, and by half-pant 4 • numerous
company, principally ladies, but numbering among them
several members of the Artillery Company and other volun-
teer corps in uniform, assembled on • spacious lawn, in
the centre of the gardens, where, on • platform, the
bugle, • very handsome one, and of delicate work-
manship and to which was attached a rich
silver cord and tassels, was displayed. Shortly after
the company of Islington Volunteers, about one hundred
rfteng, marched in, heeded by the bead of the Enfieldßifles,
end formed in line in front of the miracle.
Mrs. HATA then briefly addressed the corps, aspersing
the sympathy with which the women of England regarded
Ur volunteer movement, on which they confidently relied
for protection and safety from soy enemy which might MI-
UM) to encounter the gnglishmen of the present etiy, when
they would find that they were as brave and enduring as
their forefathers.
Mrs. Hale then presented the bugle, which was received
by Captain Ehsworth, the officer in command, the men pre-
mint.t:iirnois and the band playing the National Authem.
EMWORTH returned thanks on behalf of the
oorpa, stating the warm gratitude they felt for the splendid
gift which they had received, and which they accepted as •
proof of the sympathy and kind feeling of the ladies of the
district. He assured them that that bugle should never
sound on the field of battle but as the signal of either vic-
tory or death. The present occasion warn pemliady gratify-
ing to the 7th Middlesex, because they had had many aus.il-
ties to encounter in the formation of the corps, and especially
from the conduct pursued by the Marquis of Salisbury, in
reference to the appointment of the officers, which ap-
peared to be dictated only by some feeling of spite. Again
be thanked the ladies who bad been the means of pre-
senting the testimonial to the corps, which would never
be found wanting when their mothers, wives, sisters and,
be would add, their sweethearts required protection.
The vohuiteeri again presented arms, and immediately
afterwards fired a fri de joie. They then filed off, and,
piling their anns, mixed with the company, who remained
for sense time in the grounds listening to • selection of musk
played by the toad.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR MANCHESTER.

On the jury re-assembling at the Town-hall, on
Monday, the first witness called was
Mr. AMISS Shaw, who avid—l am the presager superin-
tended of the Art lannuddre sectiou of the Laneerthire
and Yerkehire Railway. I remember Monday last, the 3rd
of September, when we had four excursion trains adver-
tised—two to Blackpool, one for Liverpool, and one for
Belle VW) Gardens. They all started from Coln..
I had an application from Mr. Jennison, the pro-
of the Belk Toe Gardens, to put on an excursion
Citecr, , and I acceded to it. I was led to expect
.about
thousand passengers for the Bells Vintedn, iudsprot from
my previous experieace. I had • list printed of the ex-
cursion trains, showing the probable number of passenger.,
which I produce. I provided • train of 24 carriages, one
engine and two guards, for the accommodation of the
thorned premien I expected for Belle Vue. This train
was intended to take up passenger. from Colne and the
intermediate stations up to Radcliffe. Before this train
arrived at Burnley, I received • telepapleic menage from
the statioa-meter there, stating that the Belle Vue train
had not arrived, that there were 380passsngen there, sad
that there were numbers waiting at Burnley Barracks and
at Nelson. Upon receiving that manage, I sent another
engine with • train of eighteen carriages. I afterwards
repaired another telegram, rating that Burnley station was
clear, but that Burnley Barracks station, Boss Grove,
and Huncoat, were full, and could not be takes
on, and was requested to send more carriage". This
moose arrived after the first train had arrived at
Accrington, and I found that the two first trains bad cleared
up all the passengers up to Accrington. At keerington we
booked 400 passengers fur Belle V.:plaid these got away in
the "road train, worsting of teen armor Just
before this train left Arencitea received another tele-
gram from Haslingden, containing this mirage " Four
hundred for Belle Vee ; send plenty of es." In con.
sequenes of this state of thing', I had to up, another
train, of "boat 23 carriages. To this third train I appointed
Chippendale aa the principal guard, and Tomlinson as his aie
idstant. This is the train that ultimately consisted of 31 car-
riages. Chippendale has been in the service of the company
for ten ere twelve years, and Tomlinson probably five years.
They are accustomed occasionally to work excursion traffic,
' and are wall acquainted with the line between Manchester
and Accringke. I afterwards ascertained that seven or
eight carriages were added to thin train at Ramsbottom.
Each train went down with one engine to Manchester. In
the COlllllO of the day, I arraapd with the locomotive super
interest (Mr. Lees) for two mar espnes, so as to increase
err power to berg the excumionisis Lome from Raiford.
I also assuaged with Mr. Ooopekthe station-muter, bow
the Isaias should be started oa the return journey. The
Met train was to emir of one engine and 14 carriages.
The tear of 18 carriages was to be reduced to 14 •
sad the four taken from it wane to be attached to the
train which arrived in Manchester, which would make that
train conedd of 28 carriages. The second train was to
have 31 carriages, and two rear to draw it, and the
third train had 24 carries 's, with two engi• berths Mr.
Cooper found that it was not necessary to add the four car-
riages which it bad been arranged should be added to it.
The object of this arrangement was to distribute the engine
power equally to the trains in proportion to the number of
I and Mr. Goodier, my inspector, went to
Inengcherter to assist in conducting these trains safely home,
and we went specially sod voluntarily. The first train left
about ten minutes to eleven o'clock, and I accompanied the
second train, which left at ten minutes past eleven o'clock.
On arriving at Ranabuttom • carriage was taken off the
second train by my directions, because I discovered on the
way that it had • detective draw-bar. We then started from
Ramsbottom and proceeded to the Helmshore station. 1
was in about the tenth carriage from the engine. The train
drew slowly up to Helniahore, and then came to a state of
red At that point it was the duty of the guards to get
off the train and assist the passengers. Before doing so it
was their duty to release the breaks, for if the breaks were
not released the engine could not start. The two engines
wen sufficient to hold the train without the
.breaks, sup-
posing the train kept together. After the train came to a
state of red I felt the rebonad of the buffers, and
I thought that the guard had released his break, which
had oared the buffers to rebound, and then I felt a
shock and heard a snap. I immediately looked out
to see what was the mattes., and Chippendale, the guard,
who was on the platform, nearly 'sprits the carriage in
which I was, said be thought a portion of the train had
broken loose, and was moving back. I jumped out of the
carriage instantly, sad ran to the engine, and ordered the fist
driver to detach his engine from the second one. I got upon
the engine, told him whet had occurred, and desired him
to make all the speed he could and cross upon the other line.
It was one hundred yards to the points, and when on the
other line we kept the whistle of the engine open all the
way down the line. I had two objects in view. I thought
that if I oouldget down to a crossing about half a mile below
the Helnishore station, and could get the train on the other
lire sad after an engine, we could have stopped them,
and brought them back to the remaining part of the train.
The second object was to atop the train which I expected
would be following us. We got 400 or No yards down
the line, when I saw the runaway carriage before us, and
I felt sure that my object was about to noosed ;
but as we got a little never I observed some
on the line, and I found that the detached tear hid
come to • staarl I called to the driver to "hold on," and
he ran to the break, and I reversed the engine myself, and
the engine stopped at once. I felt the engine go over some-
thing, which turned out to be the top of s carriage. Hooked
up the line, but could son nothing. I then sew what had
occurred, and sent people in every direction for medical
senstanoe. After some time I took my engine up the line,
and brought it down on the other line, and booked on two
or three carriag s , to bring the injured persons to Haim-
shore station. We made one trip, and on returning, push-
ing the carriages on before' I heard something rattling,
end as 1 was standing on the footboard, with a lamp in
my hand, and looking round the end of the cartage,
I saw that • side chain was dragging on the ballast,
but I did not ace it again, as I paid more attention
to the in nerd. When I formed this train at Accre
ma ton in the morning I w that it had two break
carriages and two guards. The third break carriage might
have been on or have been added at Ramsbottom. There
might have been six or seven break carriages on the train.
I consider that two guards and two breaks are sufficient
for that train. We never send more with passenger rajas.
The guards were sober and active, and I saw them at Bury
and at Hamsbottorn. There was sufficient room for every-
body, and as a proof, Mr. Cooper did not require the four
carriages I have alluded to. I have been fourteen yeses
in the service of the company, and rive been ten years
purser superintendent of this line. During that time the
excursion trams have been numerous, and I have bad the
entire management of them. This is the first accident that
has happened to any of our excursion trains.
The witness was afterwards cross-examined at consider-
able length, but his evidence in chief was not shaken in any
material point.
The inquest was further adjourned until this (Wader.
day) morning. 11-ere still remain a large number of the
witnesses to be examined. At the close of the day's pro-
ceedings, Mr. Shaw mentioned that he had received a com-
munication from Colonel Tolland, R.E., from the railway
department of the Board of Vide, who wouklgoover theirs
the following day (Tuesday), and probably assist in the in-
vestigation before the coroner to-day.
