to postpone the running, after the two events appeoded had
been disposed of, until Wednesday, at 2 o'clock. Gnat efforts
were made by the officials to dm the course of the snow, by
means of a largo ntuniihr of men, but their endeavours were only
partially sue ...mint As might 'icy:pm:4d the:it k nre was %vry
small, the bOOkinithuni preponderating, ami they found little
employment for their nu:milks. The match, i Wars Up, set as
the end event of the ilsy, fell through, and the two races that did
take place brought out fields of three runners each only, the
evergreen Saccharoweter winning the Trial Stakes in gallant
style.

ALLEGED MURDER BY A FENlAN.—Yestertlay, at
the New Bailey, Salford, an Irishman, named Daniel
Macarthy, was charged with the murder of Henry Willis.
The deceased was in the service of a coal-dealer in Levens-
hulme, and was returning home on Friday night, when
the prisoner, who was intoxicated, spoke to him, and im-
mediately afterwards stabbed him. Willis made this
statement at the Manchester Infirmary shortly before his
death on Sunday, adding that the prisoner, whom he re-
cognised although he had not previously known hisi,
asked hint if be was a Fenian, and on replying " No" the
prisoner said, " Then I am," and at nave dealt the fatal
stab. When the prisoner was arrested a knife stained
with blood was found in one of his pockets, and it was
stated that his first words to the constable who arrested
hire were—" All right, my boy ; are you a Fenian r In
reply to Mr. Trafford, the stipendiary magistrate, the pri-
soner saisl, " I 111111 innocent; I must have been drunk, and
ant sorry to hear it." Mr. Trafford committed him for
trial at the Liverpool assizes nest week, remarking that
the prisoner's position was a mast critical one, as he saw
nothing to mitigate the charge from murder to man-
slaughter.
ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAlLWAV.—Yesterday morning an accident took place at
Lichfield, on the Trent Valley branch of the London and
North-Western Railway, which narrowly escaped being
attended with the moat disastrous consequences. A goods
train, which left Stafford for Rugby at $.50 yesterday
morning, arrived safely at Lichfield, where it was shunted
and some additional trucks were put on. The train after-
wards started for its destination, but hardly had it cleared
Lichfield station ere one of the trucks got off the rails, the
consequence being that as the train proceeded along four-
teen or fif teen other waggons were dragged off the line, bring-
ing the whole train to a complete standstill. Most of
the waggons that were thrown off the rails were loaded
with barrels of Burton beer, which rolled about in all direc-
Sone, along the line and down the embankment. Con-
siderable damage was done to the permanent way by the
dragging of the trucks, which were very much knocked
about. At the time of the accident occurring the express
train from Manchester to London, which, after leaving
Crewe, only stops at Rugby during the entire journey, was
almost slue, but it was stopped by means of the telegraph
before arriving at the scene of the accident.
Boit.Lit EII•LoSIDN AND Lone Dr FIVE LIVE. 4.—
' A shocking accident took place yesterday within a few
hundred yards of the Watlington Ntathin on the Lynn and
Ely Railway. Some 15 or 16 persona were engaged in
threshing a wheat stuck upon a farm in the occupation
of Mr. Heater, and when they had left off work for dinner
the boiler of the engine burst, and five men were instan-
taneously killed, seven others being more or less in-
jured. Indeed two qilher lives are despaired of.
