FATAL ACCIDENT. The Oxford Chronicle ex-
presses its deep regret to state that on Tuesday last a most
distressing academic befit a young lady, Miss Wilson, an or-
phut and niece to Sir Charles Beaufort, baronet, residing
Incas Bath, win wee on • vigil to some Mends in this city, in
order to participate in the pleasures of the coumemoratioa
It appears that Miss Wilson, who was accompanied by lino.
they lady and several of her Uelversity friends, went for a
rids on horseback in the afternoon, and while proceeding
down the hill from Wytham her hone took fright, and
started off at • Scarf& rate. Miss Wilson retained her seat
until the hone, is jam*, over a ditch, threw her with
great violence on her head, a short distance on this side of
the Redman gate. She was immediately picked up, and
coaveyed to the lodge at the foot of tke hill. One of the
party (Mr. Seymour, of Balliol College) rode off immediately
to Oxford fur Dr. Aclaad, and nefortnnately ' when at the
top of Osirge-street, his ton* slipped and threw him, se-
verely injuring his knee. Ho was, however, enabled to re-
mouse, and secure the pinion of Dr. Misled, who, on pro.
ceeding to the ledge where the young lady lay, found her
perfectly unconscious, and suffering from severe concussion
or the brain. Mr. Hitchings also attended. and the services
of Mr Sherlock, of Ensnare, were also rendered. Messages
were immediately despatched to the relatives of the young
lady, acquainting them of the MI accident, bat we regret to
add that, after continuing is We same unconscious stare, she
expired on Friday morning.
CHARGE OF FOSSERT.—The usually quiet and
rival village of Hanworth, Middlesex, has been the scene
of much excitement for some days past in consequrnes of
a damnify beinjf.iniade that the pariah had been defrauded
to • supposed • amount by Mr. Hobert Toxeley, the
vicar's warden,an who had carried cc the basin's' of a
Gnawer for a very many yean. The circumstances that
led to the detention and subsequent apprehension of Mr.
Toseley on the serious charge of forgery were these :—A
vestry meeting wee called to examine and pen the church-
warden's accounts, when the vicar's warden did act present
himself, and it was then discovered that several entries of
accounts alleged to have been paid had not been discharged,
bat the receipt of the party to whom the money was due
had been forged. Mr. Toseley, although he had absconded,
wished to recover some property he had left at Hanworth,
end went there on Saturday night last, but his movemerds
Wire known to the parochial authorities, • warrant was ob.
tained, and he was apprehended. The prisoner has under-
gone a preliminary examination at Hampton belere Colonel
Wood and a full bench of magistrates, and one case was
established, in which Mr. John Till, collecting clerk to
Messrs. Downs, of Richmond, ova and coal merchants,
proved that a receipt purporting to be signed by him for
381. lie. was a forgery. On this evidence the prisoner was
remanded. _ _ _

Statics 07 COLLIEIIB.—The strike of colliers in

Monmouthshire sad South Wales has now become alarm-
ingly general, and the following *pillories have been obliged
in consequence of the workmen's refusing to receive the
wages which th• masters offered to cease working : Aber-
corn, Gwyther, Bwreells, Trgnant, Pennynn Old, Petty-
eleden, Havod Vane, Bluencuf6n, Bloassawm, Rae Park,
Wellington, Multitude, *birdie'', Argosd, °whey. Rock
Watailoo, Buttorynah, Place, Tyr Adam, Church, Gluedo,
Clinch and Caragethea. Letters received at Bristol from
Newport, Monmouthshire, represent the consequences to
the trade of that town as being most serious. There are
Ino coals in stock, except steaming coals, some works of
which are still in operation, sad vessels cannot obtain their
required cargoes, and as coal and iron are the staples upon
which Ike inhabitants of the neighbourhood depend much
pecuniary distress will necessarily result from the strike.
Serious apprehensions are also felt for the peace of the neigh
bonehead, as threatening notices are posted by the malcnn.
teats, orderiag colliers to Octal* Item entering the marked
collieries or to work in them at their peril. Some men
have been arrested by the polite and committed for trial,
and it is hoped that this will have a salutary effect, and
give confldenco to the better disposed men, so as to induce
them to return to their work. Only 700 tons of coal were
brought into Newport in the week ending Jugs Bth, issued
of abate 2,600 tam
Tun RAILWAY AUDIT Brix —1 he new Railway Audit

°faxen of this board or body, an to be interested in railway
property, and deck :slim of that fact is to be made. The
expense of the !'establishment is to be provided for by the
railway companies.
Boyne Wimas.—The preparations making to eelebrate
the opening of this railway are greaeral throughout the
district connected with it. At Swansea, Nesth, Cardiff,
Newport, Chepstow, sad other towns, there will be public
rejoicings, and at most places dinners will be hold. Oa
Timed", last an accident occurred at the railway bridge, at
Chepstow, which threatened serious eossequenses. A vessel
called the Dispatek came in contact with the cylinders cad
outer piling, and consequently grounded, and it was found
ay necessary to est sway some of the piling before she could be
ia Boated.

The steamer Neptune, which 1 this port to-
morrow (Sunday) for dt. Petersburg, bas on board
about 400,0001. in specie, being a remittance from
Messrs. Baring, Brother., and Co., on account of the
Hessian loan. The whole has been insured, four com-
panies taking 40,0001. each, and one underwriter at
Lloyd's, an eminent East India merchant, has taken'
a line for 100,0001., at 7.. 61 per cent. prem., the
largest amount ever known to have been taken in roe
line by a single individual.
The dealings in the railway share market this week
has been on a rather more considerable wale, and
emisprise a large number of speculative operations.
The dullness and retrograde movement of values no-
ticed in our last weekly review was succeeded by a
much firmer tone at the beginning of the week. and
prices have since steadily improved, the quotations of
taday's market showing an advance in all the lead-
ing stocks over last week's rates. On the whole, the
traffic returns for the last week are good. On the
London and North Western line the excess of traffic
over the corresponding week of last year has been
5,119!., and on the Midland line, 1,4651. The Great
Western and South Western returns show a falling
off of 2,1941. and 1,0871. respectively, but this is ac-
counted for from its being an ordinary week this
year against Epsom race week last year. The
I Caledonian return is 6,2931. against 6,8591. teat year;
Eastern Counties, 13,7381. against 15,4194 ; Lance-
shire and Yorkshire, 13,774 L against 12,7454; South
Eastern, 11.8311. against 9,2861.•' Newcastle and Ber-
wick, 14,6341. against 11,9571. On taking the aggre-
gate of the returns we find that 249,4831. was received
on 5,512 miles, being at the rate of 431. per mile per
week. For the corresponding week in last year,
224,1641. was received on 4,796 miler, or at the rate
of 481. 16s. per mile per week ; there is thus an in-
cream in the receipts of 23,3191., and an increase in
the mileage of 716, accompanied with a decrease in
the aggregate return of 11. IN. per mile per week.
As compared with last Satarday's prices, to-day's
closing figures show a rise of no less than 81. in
Great North of England., 11. 15s. in Great Western.,
2!. in North Westerns, 255. in Midlands, 11. in Bristol
and Exeter., Lancashire and Yorkshires' and Leeds
and Bradfords, 16s. in Berwick., 10.. in Aberdeen.,
Brighton., atd South Westerns, &c.
The following are the extreme prices at which
business has been done in railway shares during the
week:
