FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO TWO

CHILDREN.

- -
A shocking accident °mitred yesterday morn-
ing at the Park Farm, near (harshen?. occupied by
Mr. Robert Webster, one of his children being
killed and another very seriously inured. Mr.
Webster bad been engaged in thrashing with
one of the old-fashioned thrashing machines
usually fixed ander a shed at farm-heuses, two of his
children, aged Ave and three respectively, being fastened
by a sting to the upright timbers running from the re-
volving beam in the centre of the shed, in order to keep
them out of the way of the hones' feet. About eleven
o'clock Mr. Webster was alarmed by Leering screams pro-
ceeding from the shed, and on hie running there found his
youngest child completely crushed to death between the
revolving beam and the socket in which it works, the elder
child was alto fearfully crushed, bat not dead. It is sap.
pored the youngest child had fallen over the boarding
which is put round the beam, and that his brother, whilst
endeavouring to help bin, had also been dragged in.
Medical assistance was procured at once, but the youngest
child was past help, and the other lies in a very critical
state.

THE ITALIAN CHAMBER AND THE
EXECUTIONS IN ROME.

FLOREROI, Nov. 26, Beams.
Signor Mari was elected tay President of the
Chamber of Deputies by 188 votes against 90
given to Signor Orispi, candidate of the Left.
Signor Nordin, candidate of the Right, was
elected Vice-President. Several members gave
notice of their intention to interrogatethe govern-
ment relative to the execution of Monti and
Tognetti, the Pontifical debt, and the relations of
France and Italy. General Menabrea agreed
to reply to the questions relative to the
execution at Rome, but did not consider
the present an opportune moment to dis-
cuss the Pontifical debt, or the Franco-Italian
relations. Signor Curti then asked what course
the Italian government intended taking after this
fresh defiance given by the Papacy to Italy. To
this question General Menabrea replied that be
did not disguise the political significance of the
unjustifiable act of the Pontifical government, and
added : "The Italian government made every
possible effort to avert it, but for the present I
cannot reply or accept the discussion upon the
question raised by Signor Curti." General Bixio
said that one of the condemned men was an
Italian citizen, and that the execution should
have been prevented at any cost. A vigorous and
decided policy, he added, was necessary to reetrain
the Papacy and is compel F ance to
cease imposing her dominion at Rome.
General Menai:re*, while wholly sharing the
general indignation felt by the country and the
parliament, protested against the assertion that
Italy suffered humiliation from any foreign
power, and deprecated further discussion as inex-
pedient. A very warm debate followed, and
various orders of the day were proposed.
The speeches condemning the Papacy, and
protesting against the Fnaich intervention at
Rome, were loudly cheered by the members of the
Chamber and the public in the galleries. Signor
Cornnti proposed the following motion The
Chamber, fully concurring in the censure passed by
thc.government upon the act of the Papacy,
to the ordi rof the day." The first part of
this
motion was unanimously approved and the
Chonis r then passed to the order of the day, by
197 vats against 119.

Amply by Mr. YOLTPINUI and Colonel 11Lcitattara., and by
Mr. LET drima and the Hon. W. lisornucur, M.P.
Mr. F. I utentovoit. an advanced liberal, was then
'inflated by Mr. lanma Maack M.P., and moon ledi by
colonel AIUbTIN. and it was explained that he bed beau
broucht fora ant to conteA the county because Mr. Bcis-
toe bud not supported Mr. (Hailstone's Irish church
lad ry.
Ur. ARMCO? in addrosaing the electors, stated that
dui .net Lis lenglhened parliamentary career he had always
acted as en independeut member, and hail not bound
kanstlt to any party. He had advocated reform apart
Item revslution, and he considered it his duty to amiept
and support the nica.,ure they now 1 from those
who alone could have carried it, with the aid of a POrill
bend of incl. pendent members to whom the country, ho
arid, was deeply indebted.
Mr. Cri rrr, with reference to the assertion that he had
attended to public meetings, said he had &owl himself
to the bands of his supporters, who had decided it to be
anaccesmuy. It was stud that the Irish church was pad
1. r out of the pockets of the people. That was not en ;it
was sum,: teu by some state and more private endow-
ments. Tiny Paw a strange union. Thee saw the Roman
'Diabolic. of Ireland, the protestant.. of Scotland, and the
acncenfornige of England united with Mr. Gladstone to
destroy the church of Ireland.
Mr. PENNIPIOINII next addressed the electors, and was
warmly received. He cintested the election on great
atria principles. He had bad a political expo-
rienie of 20 or 30 years, and he was proud to
say that he bad enjoyed the friendship of some of
the greatest liberals the country had ever produced.
In that respect he believed he had had a much better
political education than his friend Mr. Cnbitt. (Oh.)
The bon. candidate then proceeded to refer to the ques-
tion of compulsory education and other tapies, but the
noise that prevailed during the latter part of his addrem
was so great that be could not be heard. Before sifting
down he said it now rested with the shockers to arrange
themselves under the banners of program and improve-
ment, or under thaw of blind obstruction. (Cheers.)
show of hands was thereafter taken for the respective
candidates, and the High Sheriff announced it to be in
favour of Mr. Cnbitt and Mr. Pennington, but remarked
that it was not quite so easy to decide on that occasion as
upon some others who had the majority.
A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff terminated the
preeeedings.
The poll will be taken on Saturday.

BAVAELL

Count Luxburg, president of Lower Franconia
—a statesman known to be in tho coufidenco of
the King of Bavaria—has just issued an address to
the members of tLo district council of that pro-
vince, which contains some curious revelations as
to the policy of Bavaria towards Prussia:

Ills iajcsiy (he says) has authorised me to tell you
that it is his unshaken resolve to maintain the indepen-
dence . . . . of Bavaria The govern-
ment has boon blamed for not strictly fulfilling its
duties to the country. You know that in poli-
ties it is necessary to consider facts. We cannot
conceal it from ourselves that we are not free to do as we
like. The war of 11466 has created, against our wishes, a
rolitical situation which the government has been com-
pelled to aca•pt. Its forces have not always enabled it to
maid certain domande, and hence it has been falsely con-
cluded that it has not done its duty in maintaining the
independence of the country. The worst of evils for a
rmall state is iiolation, for it it apt to contribute more
then anything else to the loss of that independence to
which we all attach such importance. Being convinced
of this truth, the government has endeavoured to prevent
such a misfortune by augmenting the military strength of
the country.

SPANISH POLITICIANS.

There are five well-defined shades of opinion is
Spain. Marshal Serrano and Admiral Top'te
bold finely to the ougagensents made with the
Duke de lionpeosier, and reject, d prisri. any
other solution. Marshal Prim has his candidate,
known by no one, and who, according to some,
would be no other than himself ; while certain
people think his project is the famous Iberian
union. The Moderadoes cleasly beset Marshal
de Nevalichee, trying to induce him to sup-
port the Prince of the Asturias. The army be
commanded is said to be very discontented,
and the friends of this Prime are very
rich. The departure of Count de Chaste for
Paris is raid to have for object an understanding
with the ex-Queen Isabella as to the means to be
employed to proclaim a regency with the Prince.
The choice of the regent is the Gordian knot of
this combination. The Cortist party was believed
to be dead, but it was only slumbering. There
seems to be all the difficulty in the world in re-
straining the chiefs of she guerillas, and precise
orders were obliged to be given by Don eirlos to
prevent, for the moment, an appeal to arms. As
to the republicans, they will fight their battle,
and much sooner than is expected. They
say they have been mystified by the rising of
Cadiz, and repeat in every tone that the decen-
tralisation and autonomy which the provinces re-
quire can only be achieved by the form of a
Commonwealth. At Marcia. Malaga, and in
Andalusia, there ideas have many warm partisans,
and the manufacturing population of Barcelona
will second them with all its strength.

CONSOLATION POl CONSEJITATMI&

The Herald observes that although the elections decided
yesterday were but kw in number, and their effect upon
the numerical strength of patties inconsiderable, it is
hardly possible to over-estimate their real importance or
regard the result of the days polling with too much satis-
faction. lhe importance of those decisions rests not in
the gain of two or three coroervative seats or in the de-
feat of Mr. Milner Gibson and Mr. Ma-soy, but in the
remarkable corroboration they furnish of the evidencr
given s n the first days polling of the predominant 1 of
conservative feeling and opinion in the great centres of
it thistly End intelligence. The radical party is pr t
be in a minority in those very constituencies of aim wh.ch
.t Lae claimed fur its own, and its triumph, if triumph
it should obtain, will be due entirely to the BUCii
Whilk its candidates have met with in those sal dl
boroughs, the dishauchirement of which has bzers the
gnat cry of the party.

I:REENICICH.

Tar borough of Greenwich will be soon in the
position of a well dowered widow who• is com-
p:e•lled to marry again, and who has several eligible
suitors for her band. Assuming 4r, Gp.tusruss's
success in Lancashire to be assured, Greenwich
will he called upon in a few days to chose a re-
pr•sentative in his steed. But this seat then
vacant will be infinitely more valuable than it was
before the elections of this week. • The honour of
succeeding the Liberal leader is something ; and
the number of well certificated politicians who are
unseated is something more. If the mon of
Greenwich had sought deliberately to raise the
status of their borough they could not have dons
it more effectually than by the patriotic and
public-spirited conduct they have pursued. Their
election of Mr. GbAnwrosra in his absence, and
their chivalrous readiness to keep the borough in
waiting for him in case of emergency mark them
as a constituency the suffrages of which any states-
man might be proud of ; and give them, over and
above the seat at their bestowal, such
an honorarium of prestige and popularity as
is in itself a dowry. The question is, upon whom
will this fair borough bestow its hand ? Already
there are many suitors in the field. Already are
the clubs pointing out their favourites, and pro-
nouncing dogmatically upon their several chances
of success. Mr. MILL, Mr. AUSTIN BRUCE, Mr.
MILNER GIBSON, and Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE are all
tinned ; while a trosp of legal dinconsolates con-
nected with the present Government, and lacking
mates are said to be studying the supposed
caprices and weaknesses of Greenwich with an
assiduity which betokens a meditated swoop upon
her liberties. Never was a borough more hun-
grily looked after. Never were wooers more varied
in character, in endowments, and in expectations.
The most refined and lofty philtgoplly of the age ;
a ministerial reputation and an official popu-
huity which make its owner intrinsically
valuable to the Liberal camp; Free trade
traditions and an advanced policy chastened,
but not chilled, by the late responsibilities
of office; a lively humour and a brisk wit
which rises superior to misfortune and laughs
heartily at defeat; and the keen, shrewd
,qualities which are the conventional attributes
of fortune hunters—all these are possible suitors
for the good graces of the fairest borough on the
Thames. We have no doubt that the choice of this
electors will be in harmony with their recent con-
duct ; and that it will be their first care to add an
additional grace to their graceful compliment to
Mr. Gesnwrossz by giving him a successor whose
principles and action will be modelled on his own.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(FROM OUR OWN

PARIS, WEDNIXDAT X VINING.

The obsequies of Baron James do Rothschild
took place to-day. Speaking in an undertsker's
point of view, it was an extremely simple one.
Tho public were astonished to find that the great
banker, who passed here for being the richest
man in the world, did not have a " first-elan "
funeral. There were but two horses to the
hearse, whereas many an obscure bourgeois is
taken to his last home by four. The train of
mourners, however, more than made up
for the studied want of magnificence in the parade
ordered by the family. At least 8,000 people fol-
lowed the corpse, and when the head of the cortege
was at the Bastille, on its way to Nre La Chalets,
the Boulevard des Italiens was still crowded by
the tuil. A great many foreign ministers sent their
carriages, and the members of the Jewish per-
suasion mustered in great strength. The funeral
service at the cemetery was performed by the Chief
Rabbi of Paris, M. Isidore. Several other rabbis
assisted. Tho will is to be opened to-morrow,
and its contents are looked forward to with great
interest. Baron James, although a very old resi-
dent in Paris, was not naturalised, or even domi-
ciled in Franco. His will, therefore, is that of a
foreigner, and the French oodo will only apply to

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

Sittings in Baneo.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron and
Buono Channell and Pigott.)
IN R 1 WINUAY.
Mr. C. Button moved, on the part of the Commie-ismer*
of Inland Revenue, under the provisions of an act pawed
in 11.10, fur a rule calling upon a solicitor's clerk named
Went em to show MINN, why he should not pay to them
2. W. of clown money, and rho why an attachment should
not issie twang him for withholding the money. In July
last a Mis. Apsey, the executrix of a gentleman who dial
somu time below then, handed over the money toWeubarn
in order that he might ley legacy duty on the de-
ceased's estate, but it had nnit reached the hands of the
cononiesioners. The learned counsel contended that he
was entitled to an attachment iu the first instance as the
money belonged the crown.
The court thought the course o:early pointed out by the
act was that in such • case as this the party should first
have en opportunity of appearing in court and 'hewing
why lie bed not paid over the money. If ho failed to give
any good reason for withholding the money, and did not
Pry it, the nowt would then issue en attachment, bat not
before. This was really au attempt to establish a new
and arbitrary practice. If a ride absolute for the pv-
-I:flint of the mousy was disobeyed Uwe payment might 03
enforced by an attachment or otherwise. They were now
asked to prejudge the matter upon en ex parte statement.
This would be a usurpation of the authority of the court
and oppreraive to the party proceeded against. The
Paused counsel might take • rule calling upon Wen-
ham to show gauss why he should nut pay over the
money.

day f'olonel Somerset, the junior conservative candidate,
attended a meeting at Abiasvehan, and gave a long a^-
count of an cneountor between himself and Colonel
Clifford, the liberal candidata, at Abergaverinv, on
Tuesday. He said that, having discovered that Colonel
Clifford did not support the Free Trade Bill in 1817,
and that most of his tenants voted for protection, he
'dated his belief that Colonel Clifford used coercion ; that
Colonel Clifford on that called him • "liar," while
the lion. Clifford 'hider (son-in-law to Colonel Clifford)
culled him a d - - liar; that this war several timos re-
peated, he refusing to retract what lie had said; Hi it the

TIIE SECOND DAY.

Or nearly seventy seats contested or uncon-
tested yesterday considerably more than half ac-
crued to the Liberals. Thu second day of a general
election is but moderately exciting compared with
the first, and its results are apt to be more evenly
balanced between the two parties. The ultimate
issue of this greet struggle was more than fore-
eliadowed on Tuesday. The closing figures of that
day's lx Ling lists might be taken as a tolerably
exact an icipatiun of the future House of Commons.
When we come to the counties, especially in the
west, there is not much novelty to be lo died for.
Those village householders of whom Mr. DL4RAELI
used to draw fancy pictures whim he was stating
the ease of the counties against the towns, appear
with scarcely any noticeable exceptions to be as
docile, or contented, or indifferent as their neigh-
bours the farmers, and to value very slightly their
new privilege of voting for other than territorial
candidates. When they do vote, it is generally on
the side their bread is buttered. Their political
predilections, if they own any, aro bounded by
the nearest horizon. The cantankerous radical
is almost a luau *ahem: in those communities.
Where the candidate is an advancing Whig they
take him for his local interests and not for his
strange principles. The representatives of squires
and tenants and general shopkeepers form the
solid substratum of an English parliament, and
their plates will not be vacant in the new House.
Alarmists who so gaily announced the coming
deluge and an ugly rush of democratic voters and
candidates through the constitutional breach are
beginning to be disappointed. The old names and
the old faces are reappearing as if nothing had hap-
pened, and the new ones bears strong family likeness
to the old. The dreaded working-man, who was to
Dave been everywhere is nowhere; the Reform
League has not so much as squeezed its head,
much has its tuil, into a metropolitan borough ;
and the " working man's friend " is a lawyer, or
a baronet, or a local plutocrat with all the old
familiar shibboleths in Lis mouth. Some wise
men, who see much fartherthan their neighbours,
have said that the character of the second, and
not of the first, Rouse of Commons will mark the
epoch, and that fur the present the effects of the

AND fIOUTII JUNCTION RAILWAY.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Mr. Serjeant Simon and Mr. Wheeler were for plaintiff,
and Mr. Bowler, Q.C., and Mr. Leresche were for the de-
fendants. The action was to recover compensation for
personal injury sustained through the negligence of the
servants of the defendants. Mr. Lilly is a merchant in
the Brazilian trade, from Manchester, and on the 3rd
January he and his wife and four young children tra-
velled by rail from Manchester to Sale. The train
stopped and plaintiff got out upon the step, when the
train again moved forward some yards, and he WWI
thrown down on the platform, and injured his right hand
ao badly that he was unable to follow his business for
three months. The defence was that the train had not
stopped, and that plaintiff getting out too boon, the ac-
cident wu the result of his own. and not the company's
negligence. Verdict for defendants.

SIXTEEN FIRM IN LONDON.

During the last forty-eight hours no fewer
than sixteen fires were attended by the officers
and firemen of the Metropolitan Brigade. The moat
,erious were the following :—One fire happened in
the premises of Mr. F. Stray, tailor, carrying on
ss busine at Noe. 39 and 40, Haymarket. The
flames were discovered whilst the inmates were in bed
asleep. Fortunately they were all alarmed in time, and
were able to effect their escapee; but the fire could not be
subdued until one building (No. 39), with the contents,
was nearly destroyed, and the adjoining one damaged.
A far more extensive fire happened in Burdett-road,
Limebouse. It commenced in an unoccupied building of
three floors, 61 feet wide and 31 feet deep, belonging to
Mr. Dunk, but standing in Dod-street. The flames ex-
tended with such fury, that in a few minuteethat building
presented a large mass of flame, and another one
two floors high, 20 feet by 60, shared the same fate, and
they were nearly destroyed before the engines arrived.
The Burdett Lecture Hall, a building 80 feet long and
nearly 60 feet deep, next became ignited. The fire
continued to spread, and at one time it was feared that
the extensive India robber manufactory of Messrs. An-I
dersou and Abbott would have been destroyed, but
through the perseverance of the brigade these works
were not much damaged. There was, however, a great
destruction of property. Another building, No. la,
is also extensively burned, and • warehouse of three
floors, belonging to Mr. W. V. Green, is damaged by
fire and water.

and it was his duty to pay over to persons who had In-
vested with the agency on races all moneys won on bets.
The prisoner was in the habit of receiving money from
perrona who betted, and it was his duty to give vouchers,
and the ono now produced was in his hand writing. The
voucher acknowledges the receipt from Mr. Lee of 251. on
abet. On the 7th May, the day after the Chester Cup,
the prisoner told him that Mr. Wood had payments to
make to 6504 to winners on that race, and he gave
him • cheque to that amount. The prisoner after-
wards told him that be had fret the cheque cashed
and had paid the London commissions, and had the money
for the country commissions. He took the prisoner's word
for the amount that was required to pay the bets. The
prisoner absconded on the 12th May, and he had nut seen
him till Tuesday, when he met him.
Jeremiah Murphy deposed that he was clerk in the Tart
Agency establishment, and was present when Mr. We stun
gave the prisoner a cheque for 6501. to pay on account of

LODGERS IN WESTMINSTER.

TnE occupants of unfurnished lodgings at four
shillings a week and upwards, and of furnished
lodgings which can be shown to be of the value
of four shillings a week if let unfurnished, have
all votes under the new Reform Act, and are being
carefully looked up in Westminster. To exercise
the franchise, an occupation of twelve months
previous to the 31st of July is necessary, but oc-
casional absences during that period do not dis-
qualify provided the rent continues to be paid by the
claimant. But the first consideration in proving
the right to a vote is the amount of rent actually
paid by a sole tenant. Partnership lodgings,
where one or more men with or without
families occupy the same apartments as joint
tenants, do not confer votes, even where the sum
per head exceeds the limit laid down. Each
man must have a separate room or sot of rooms,
for which he pays not less than four shillings a
week unfurnished, or such a sum furnished as
would fairly lead to the assumption they are worth
four shillings a week irrespective of their furniture.
Where this is the case the proceedings necessary
to insure a vote in the corning election are ex-
tremely simple. The claim has but to be delivered
' to one of the overseen of the pariah in which the
lodgings are situate, before the 25th of this month ;
and the thing is done. The Liberal lodgers
of Westminster are supplied gratuitously with
the necessary forms by Dr. Brawn, at 21,
George-street, Hanover-square, who, it is said, is
called upon to respond to some hundred applica-
tions daily. The Christian name and surname
of the man claiming the franchise ; his profession,
trade or calling; the description of his lodgings,
on what floor, how many rooms; the address
of the house in which they are ; and the
name, description, and residence of the person to
whom the rent is paid—are the only particulars
required. The remainder of the form is printed,
and the signature of the claimant duly wit-
nessed and the date are the only other
formalities required. These gone through, the
applicant's name should appear on the list of
lodger claims to be published by the overseers not
later than the Ist September ; and should it be
omitted the revising barrister can be appealed to.
Clailsaate are advised to keep a copy of their ap-

PIGEON SHOOTING.

By far one of the most successful seasons in almost every
point of view that the Gun Club has yet bad was brought to •
does at their ground, Wormbolt &rabbi, on Saturday, when,
though the attendance of shooters was not numerically large, the
wend public gathered somewhat strongly. E. E. C.
Nevill and Mr. William Gregory Moot three matches for Li • Me
each,at 7 birds each, the esartain wthning the that, bat his thendy
opponent bad the but of the two next. -Mr. Wiliam Spofforth
took the first sweepstakes, divided the second with Captain J. J.
W. Fredericks, and then annexed the whole of the third. Mr.
W. Gregory won the fourth, and Mr. W. Davies became entitled
to the fifth. The last named gentleman also won •
at three double rises, but in another Mr. W. Oregotygw=ti.e
'pyaiurr thrice, and no won the concluding -event being a match
between Mr. Davin; and Mr. W. Gregory at 7 birds for £lO a aide.
They killed 6 each, and shot off the tie, bird for bird,vrhen, after
4ehig five hence, Mr. Davies mimed his sixth bird, and Mr. W.
Gregory dropping hie, won the minis. In riming the reporta of
the present season, it may be mentioned that 14 handicaps have
bean shot, and penes to the amount of nearly £2,600 cootetukd
for, exclusive of. the Challenge Cup value £2OO.
