to Consett.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CAR-
LISLE RAILWAT.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—A. serious ac-
cident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway
last night, by which several persons were severely in,
jured, but fortunately no lives were lost. From all we
could gather it appears that the train bringing the
Scotch mail not arriving at its usual time this morning
at Preston a pilot engine was sent down the line, when
it was ascertained that between eight and nine o'clock
last night the train had run off the line, about three
quarters of a mile north of Reasforth Station, and, sepa-
rating, broke into two divisions—one rolling down the
left and the other the right side of the embankment into
the open fields. It is said that a bale of goods had been
dropped by a preceding goods train, and that the engine
coming in contact with it caused the carriages to run off
the line. They were smashed to atoms, and the mail
bags scattered. The guard was severely
flesh of one of his arms being stripped off to the bone.
The following are also injured :—Mr. Gray, of the
Pot-
teries, collar-bone broken, and bruised about the head ,
Mr. Chapman, cattle dealer, of Levey, head cut and
injured—the
chest crushed ; Mr. Lomas, spirit merchant, of Prod-
sham, severely shaken ; Sir Charles Stewart, cut about
the head,

General Williams is one of the most distinguished
officers in the British service, and as a diplomatist, a
scientific engineer, or a milifary commander he is equally
pre-eminent. After the disastrous termination of ILIA
year's campaign in Anatolia, General Williams was
despatched to the seat of war in Asia, to lend his exist-
rience and energy to the baffled Turks. The choice
of government could not have been more satisfactory,
for not only was the general, then Colonel Williams,
perfectly acquainted with the language, the peculiar
views, and prejudices of the Turks, but likewise with
the ground where he was to acquire increased military
reputation. Some years ago Colonel Williams, assisted
by the Hon. Mr. Curzon, the talented author of " The
Monasteries of the Levant," was appointed by the British
Government to regulate the frontiers of Turkey and
Russia in Asia. For a considerable length of time Col.
Williams resided in Erzeroum and on the disputed terri-
tory where he acquired the insight into the Turkish cha-
racter which lie has since employed so advantageously.
The gallant officer, by his conciliatory disposition, earned
the respect and good-will of the Turkish authorities and
population ; it was, therefore, with unfeigned satisfaction
that his nomination to the responsible post ho uow occu-
pies was received by the inhabitants of Anatolia, to whom
his came and character were perfectly fivuiliar. On arriv-
ing at Erzeroum List autumn General Williams found the
army in the greatest disorder. The peculation of the native
authorities had reached a height perfectly unprecedented
even in venal Turkey, and thus the misery of the defeated
army was aggravated. The representations Of the go
neral were successful, and the effenti_r., were detected ,
and removed from the army. The command in chief
was entrusted to Vassif Pacha, who approved of all the
measures of reform in the army proposed by our coun-
tryman. In a short time, a little discipline was intro-
duced into the Anatolian corps, whilst Erzeroum was
surrounded by a series of earthworks' which placed it
beyond the danger of a coup-de-main,. General Williams
was assisted in this labour by a most intelligent Roman
officer, Colonel Callandrelli, whose death by cholera at
Erzeroum we had recently occasion to allude to. In the
spring the Ottoman army marched to Kars, which had
contained merely a small garrison during the severe win-
ter months. The fortifications of Kars were increased,
and the heights which surround it covered with earth-
works. When General Mouravieff advanced from Gumri
and encamped before Kars, General Williams adopted
every measure which could tend to increase the means
of resistance in the power of the garrison. He collected
supplies until the blockade of the Russians was com-
pletely established, and carefully avoided accepting an
engagement in the open field, where the superior discip-
line of the Russian army would have shown to advan-
tage. In vain did the general despatch messenger after
messenger to Constantinople, to awaken the Govern-
ment to a sense of the danger which menaced the Asiatic
possession of the Sultan. His representations were fruit-
less ; the eyes of Turkey and of the allies were directed
firmly on Sebastopol and Kars was sacrificed. Thus re-
duced to his own resources, General Williams calmly
awaited the day when approaching winter would com-
pel the enemy to attempt a decisive blow, or when star-
vation would necessitate an honourable capitulation.
The supplies of provisions had been long exhausted, the
troops had been reduced to consume the horses of the
cavalry, and the most horrible fate stared the garrison
in the face, when, animated by the bravery of their
leaders, the Turkish army, with one supreme effort,
dashed back the determined assault of General Mourn-
vieff. General Williams has been zealously assisted dur-
ing the trying events of the present siege by his young
aide-de-camp, Major Teesdale, by Col. Lake, an artil-
lery officer, who superintended the construction of the
more recent tabias raised by the garrison, and by Capt.
Thompson, of the East India Company's service.
General Kmeti (Ismail Pacha) was, according to all
accounts, the hero of the day in the late terrible struggle
before Kars. To him was confided the defence of the po-
sition which was the key to the place, and whose tall
would have sealed the fate of Anatolia. Three times
were the Russian columns in possession of the " Ingliz
table," and three successive times did Kmeti drive them
out at the point of the bayonet. To this brilliant ex-
ample, and, above all, to the confidence which his n ob_aloe
qualities inspired in the Turkish soldier, are mainly
the salvation of Kars. General Kmeti was on the
most distinguished, as he certainly was the most in

General Colmann, who planned the defensive works
of Kars, is one of the most talented engineering officers
alive. He is chief of the staff of the Anatolian army,
and fulfilled the same fuctions in the Hungarian war.
Colinann is much beloved by the Turks, over whom he
has acquired a singular influence. He is, like Kmeti,
in the vigour of manhood, having scarcely passed his
fortieth year.
In planning the attack of the 29th, Gen. aouravieff

The CHAIRMAN having expressed in a feeling manner
the deep regret he and his colleagues felt at the decease
of their late noble chairman, Lord Wharncliffe, who had
rendered valuable services to the company, he proceeded
to move the adoption of the report. He congratulated
the proprietors on the prospect now of a more rapid and
extensive progress of their undertaking. The report ia•
formed them that, in addition to the 51 miles in opera-
tion, there were 90 miles for which contracts had already
been entered into. The plans and sections for 165 miles
from Poonah to Sholapoor had been agreed upon and
approved. With regard to the extension to Shola•
poor in a south-east direction, it was not the one origi-
nally contemplated, as at that time the extension in
the north-east direction to the cotton fields of Berar
was considered of the first importance. There was
a feeling that a line to Poonah would not be
profitable, and it was thought impossible to carry
out the two lines, the preference being given to the
commercial line ; but it now appeared desirable to go on
with the other line as they had not yet got the sanction
of the Government to the ascent by the Thull Ghaut,
and until a decision was come to with respect to the
north-east extension they would proceed with the works
in the other direction. The traffic between Poonah and
Sholapoor was very considerable, and also from Bombay
to Poonah. In fact, Poonah was the Tunbridge-wells of
the district, and a considerable number of the wealthy
classes from Bombay visited it annually. The traffic on
the portion of line opened was chiefly a passenger traffic,
which, taken by itself, was perfectly satisfactory. In the
original calculations of income on the railway the pas-
senger traffic was entirely overlooked ; the chief depen-
dence was placed on the goods traffic. They had not yet
advanced to that point on their line which would enable
them to secure the goods traffic from the interior. He
was not so sanguine as some, who supposed when they
got to the foot of the Ghauts they would have the mer-
chandise traffic. They must overcome the difficulty of
ascending the hills before they could expect the goods
traffic, because when the native drivers who go from the
interior to Bombay have succeeded in descending the
Ghauts they are not disposed to give up the goods there,
and therefore go on the remainder of the distance to Bom•
bay. But when the ascent of the Ghauts has been accom-
plished by the railway, instead of going further the native
carriers will leave the goods at the top of the hills, to be
conveyed by the railway to Bombay. The result of work•
ing the railway was not so satisfactory as he could wish,
because out of a receipt of 7,9001. for the half-year
ending 30th of June last 6,4001. had been expended.
The working expenses in England usually ranged front
40 to 50 per cent, of the receipts, but in their case it
was considerably more, which was in some measure
caused by the increase in the expense for maintenance
of way and in the increased staff. The effects of the
monsoons on some of the embankments had caused in-
creased expense, which would diminish as they became
more consolidated. The committee of directors at Bom-
bay had specially alluded to a statement which appeared.
in the Railway Record and other papers with regard to
what he (tte chairman) had stated at the last meetng,
to the effect that he supposed that a great portion of the
expenses of maintaining the line, which was charged to
revenue, should have been charged to capital. The
committee in Bombay state that it was an error to sup-
pose anything of the kind, because nothing was charged
to the revenue account which did not belong to it, and
the same care was taken with respect to the capital ac-
count. The only ether matter he had to refer to was
that the experimental and extension capitals would bo
consolidated, which was a point urged by the sharehold-
ers some time ago when it was proposed to raise the
extension capital.

Mr. ANDICRTON, one of the auditors, seconded the
'notion for the adoption of the report,.and in doing so
adverted to the admirable way in which the accounts
were kept, and to the advantages of the strict control
kept over the expenditure of the railway by the East
India Company. No expenditure of money was sanc-
tioned without first knowing what it was for.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some observations of Mr.
FRANKLYN in respect to allowing a contractor to give up
the maintenance of the works to the company before the
expiration of the 12 months stipulated in the contract,
stated that the contractor had paid a sum of money for
that indulgence, and that it was not any part of those
works that had involved the extra expenses alluded to.
The interests of the East India Company, with regard
to charging the capital and revenue accounts correctly,
were identical with those of the railway company.
Mr. TIIORNTON thought the average cost of the line
ought to be less than 10,0001. per mile. It was entirely
owing to the ignorance of the engineers as o the value
of work that the railways in England had cost so much
money, and that was proved by the construction of
railways now for one half the price formerly paid for
them.
Mr. RICHMOND thought it was evidently the interest
of the East India Company to construct the railway as
cheaply as possible. With regard to the construction of
the railway on an average of 10,0001. per mile, it should
be borne in mind that the ascent of the Ghauts would
cost considerably more than the average mentioned.
Mr. NicHoLsoN said the ascent of the Ghauts would
cost eight times the average cost of the other parts of
the line.

The CHAIRMAN said that some portions of the lino
did not cost above 5,0001. per mile.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and
authorising the directors to consolidate the Si. shares as
they were paid up in full into 201. shares. _ .

Mr. NithioLsoN then entered into a statement with a

had as good a traffic on it as the
average in England, and allowing 50 per cent. for work-
ing expenses, they would pay a dividend of 101 per
cent. on the outlay. That would be 5i per cent. above
their guarantee. The sum of 15,000,0001. had been
subscribed for railways in India ; and if the traffic was
only at the rate of 201. per mile per week—which was
half that of the railways in the United Kingdom—and
the expenses 50 per cent. of the receipts, they would
pay more than the guarantee of 5 per cent., provided
the cast did not exceed 10,0001. per mile.
On the motion of Captain Barber, seconded by Mr.
Richmond, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman
and directors, and the meeting separated.

EXPLOSION OF GAS AT THE UNITED SERVICE INSTI-
TUTION.—Yesterday afternoon between two and three
o'clock a serious explosion of gas took place at the
United Service Institution, Middle Scotland-yard. It
appears that since Friday last a strong smell has been
observed on the premises. The fact having been corn.
municated at the Chartered Gas Fsctory, two men were
sent yesterday to examine the pipes. Finding that the
gas seemed to escape in the basement of the building,
they lit a candle for the purpose of going below to teat
the pipes, but before doing so they were both
eautioned
by the officials of the place. They had, however, scarcely
and
entered the underground department when an explosion
of a terrific character ensued, which set fire

ground the next morning on duty, a line of dead Russians,
like the trace that a wave leaves upon the sea-shore marked
the precise spot to which they had advanced. Immedi-
ately after this, winter set in with all its horrors. Living
in our tents without any means of making a fire, with
our clothes in rags, with hardly a boot to our feet, hav-
ing to sleep in the mud with nothing but a cloak and
blanket to protect us—such was our life. But all this
sank into insignificance when compared with the suffer-
ings of our infantry, who, in addition to these hardships,
bad to go, some of them every third day, and some of
them every other day, into the trenches. (Cheers.)
This description, however, only applies to the earlier
portion of the winter, for when the accounts of what we
were undergoing reached home, the Br.tish people, with
a sympathy for which I am sure every soldier out there
feels deeply and sincerely grateful, did all they could to
ameliorate our condition, and succeeded, for in the month
of February we were living in comparative luxury.
(Load and repeated cheers.) Since then we have suffered
little except sickness, under which many a poor fellow
sank who had escaped all the perils of the battle and all
the hardships of the winter. Through all this it has
pleased God to preserve me, and, in addition, to grant
me the blessings of almost uninterrupted good health and
a safe return home. (Cheers.) The latter is one which
only those who have felt can fully appreCiate. I have
endeavoured—l fear in vain—to speak my gratitude; but

MEETING AT ROTHERHITHE.
Last night, notwithstanding the unfavourable state o,
weather, a large number of persons assembled oppo-
se the Europa Tavern, Rotherhithe, fdr the purpose of
faring an address from Sir Charles Napier. The princi-
a room in the tavern was also crowded with the friends
ld partisans of the gallant Admiral. Mr. Chrystal was
lied to the chair, and introduced Sir C. Napier to the
eivd as a candidate for the representation of the
(rough.
Sir C. NAPIER then made his way to the window, and
a; received with great cheering by the assemblage be-
He said that in a short time they would be called
son to elect a member in the place of their late lamented
mesentative, Sir W. Molesworth, and it behoved them
11 tc, consider on whom their choice should fall. They

ell, it was not his intention, nor was it his practice,
canvass the qualifications of the gentlemen opposed to
t, and be thought the best and the fairest thing, in
ing to gain the favour of the electors, would be to act
'ards each other with the most perfect good-will. He

se was made a commander when very young ; he would
nAt say that he deserved it, but he got his appoihtrnent.
When he became a commander he had the ball at his
own feet ; it depended then upon himself and his own
eiertions, and in a short time he arrived at the rank of
captain. He had gone through the various grades of
the service since 1813, and if he had not done so with
distinction he trusted that he had done so in a creditable
manner. (Cheers.) His course was not all couleur de
rdse, for he had been wounded—not that he would put
that forth as a claim upon them, as that was one of the
incidentals of the service. (Cheers.) One objection had
been made to him by his opponents, and that was that
he was too old. He was sorry to say that he had ex-
.
1
sed at a very good old age, but he would show them
at he had got some stuff in him yet—(loud cheers)—
Cmd he thought he should be able to prove if they sent
m to Parliament that he was as able to work for them
some of the young ones. (Cheers.) Another objec-
on that had been made to him was that he was anxious
get into Parliament to avenge some private quarrel
th Sir James Graham ; it was a great public and con-
tntional question as to how far a Minister of State was
stifled in perverting the letters of an officer for the pur-
se of damaging his character in the opinion of the peo-
e of England and of the Government. Another ques-
bn, too, arose out of this, for the First Lord's coadju-
-1
Irs justified and adopted his language, without having
ad his (Sir C. Napier's) despatches—a thing which
o ten happened at the Admiralty, and one which he
t ought ought at once to be corrected. If, therefore,
he was returned to Parliament, he would state that
fact as strongly as possible. As to the existence of a
pfivate Quarrel with him and Sir James Graham, this
svlas too insignificant a charge to be worthy of notice,
far he had completely "smashed" Sir James already.
( reat cheering.) During the French war he had, under
t e Duke of Wellington, served in the Peninsula
t roughout an entire campaign, where he had an oppor-
t nity of learning the art of war ; and he trusted that
I
he had profited by the experience he there acquired. He
then served in Portugal, and first hoisted the flag of
liberty in that kingdom ; after which he served in Syria,
sshere he assisted in putting an end to one of the most
dPspotic Governments that ever existed. (Cheers.) From
these facts they would see that he had not only been a
sailor, but a soldier ; and he thought he had shown that
he was not devoid of a knowledge of diplomacy, as he
had signed a treaty with Mehemet Ali, and bad thus put
an end to a war which all their ambassadors had been
huugling at for four or five years. (Renewed cheering.)
Ite then came home, and was returned to Parliament for
the metropolitan borough of Marylebone, for which he
sat six years, and he was not afraid of any gentleman or
elector of that borough turning over the votes he had
given during that time, for they would find that he had
always voted well. (Cheers.) He had supported Sir
Itobert Peel in the whole of his free-trade measures, and
he had voted for an improvement in the naval service of
the country, which he would admit was far from being
iii a wholesome or healthy position. (Cheers.) If they
sent him to Parliament he would assist in a complete re-
form of that department, and, while saving them a good
ckal of money, would do his utmost to procure such a
vigorous prosecution of the war as would be likely to
load to peace, so that the people might 'gain enjoy cheap
hread, which, God knows, they bad not at present.
(Cheers.) There were many questions which might pro-
bably be asked of him, and he would endeavour to anti•
cipate them in his address. He was a Reformer when
he was in Parliament, and he was a Reformer still.
They had not at present got far enough in the way of
reform. He was not a wild reformer, bat still there were
many demands-of this kind that might be. granted with
safety to the country and satisfaction to the people at
large. (Cheers.) He would not, in order to obtain a seat,
attempt to deceive them with any claptrap as to univer-
sal suffrage. He did not think that the people were pre-
pared for universal suffrage, but as they advanced in
sound intelligence they would be fit for it, and then he
would be an advocate for its adoption. At present they
Must draw a line somewhere, and he thought the safest
line that could be drawn was by the tax-gatherer, and
that every man who paid his rates should have a vote,
They had lately heard that a society had been formed for
the promotion of administrative reform, but it was his
opinion that they had got the wrong sow by the ear ;
that they had begun at the wrong end, for before they
had administrative reform they must have Parliamentary
reform, and before they could have Parliamentary re-
form they must reform themselves. If a man stood as a
candidate for a borough it entailed upon him a large
expense—in expense which the aristocracy liked to keep
up, as the effect of it was to keep poor honest men out
of Parliament, and he way sorry to say that the habits
of the people did not lead them to go up unsolicited to
the hustings, but candidates were obliged to run after
them, and hat with the time consumed in talking to
them and the cost of the election it had the effect of
keeping out of Parliament many men who would honestly
represent them. He was opposed to that system, and,
having issued his address, he hoped that if the electors
preferred him they would go up early to the poll and sup-
port him as the right and proper man for the place.
As to the war he thought it had been badly carried on, for
people had beeniput in prominent places which they did
not understand ; it had cost a great deal of money, and
wore than all, he was sorry to say, a good deal of British

and brought it to a happy conclusion. Therefore, he
contended that the men who called themselves Peelites
were not worthy of the name. Ch ( eers.) Lord Palmer-

and he was firmly impressed that if the whole country
was polled, they would vote for ' his ' Y
lordship as Prime
Minister of this great nation. Since Lord Palmerston
had come into power they had had more energy infused
into the war, more troops sent out, and, with the excep-
tion of the Baltic, things had gone on more prosperously.
(Cheers.) In speaking of the Baltic he was going on to
his ground, and the reason of the failure there was be-
cause a sufficient force had not been sent out. He would
ask any one of those present, although they might know
nothing of nautical affairs, to say what would have been
the' consequences if, instead of sending to Sweaborg 16
mortar-vessels, they had gent 160, and those in a proper
manner? He did not believe that he had anything far-
ther to touch upon, unless it was church reform. He
wished to see a reform in the church, so that the bishops
should not be in the receipt of enormous salaries while
the working clergy had hardly any salary at all. If the
poor clergyman who visited his parishioners doled out

visit of the Emperor of the French to Guildhall one of
the leading members had told him (Mr. Jones) that they
had no wish to interfere with the corporation if they
would prepare a bill of their own.
Deputy BOWER said if the amendment had been car-
ried as originally proposed, in all probability the Court
would have approved of the first eight resolutions, but
it was upon resolution No. 9 that the argument turned.
It was known that the Court of Aldermen would never
be allowed to continue as it was. If the corporation let
matters remain in statu quo, then the bill to which allu-
sion had been made would be introduced into the House
of Commons, and all chance of successfully defeating its
provisions would be at an end.
Mr. GRESHAM thought the time had arrived when the
Court might, with advantage to themselves, say that
they were willing to co-operate with the Government for
the reform of the corporation.
Mr. BELL strongly recommended the Court to resist
the reduction of the number— a measure which, if car-
ried, would have the effect of excluding a good deal of
ability and talent. In his judgment, it would be an
act of folly to elect aldermen periodically, and nothing
would be more derogatory to justice than that an alder-
man, at the end of seven years, should be seen canvass-
ing for re-election.
Mr. T. PARKER said that the Commissioners of In.
quiry had investigated the subject of reform of the cor-
poration, and the Consolidated Committee had thereupon
made a report, against which he (Mr. Parker) had voted
with Mr. Fry. The commissioners recommended 32
things to be done. Of this number the Consolidated
Committee had conceded eighteen, many of the re-
mainder being inconsiderable and unimportant ; but to
some of these—such as the conservancy of the Thames,
and the taking away of the Chamberlain's accounts, and
a few things of that kind—they could not possibly agree
under any circumstances. It now appeared that the Go-
1/eminent bill had been prepared, and the corporation
might depend upon it that the gentlemen who made
these recommendations would support their opinion to
the last. The Cpurt'would stultify themselves by agreeing

CONVICTION OF A MILLER FOR USING ALV3l.—Mrs•
John Worsey, of Whitford-mill, Bromsgrove, a
charged at the Bromsgrove Petty Sessions with having
in his corn-mill 6001 b. of alum, for the purpose of being
used in adult( rating flour. Police-superintendent Bevan
having on the 10th inst. proceeded with a warrant to the
defendant's mill to search for ingredients for adulterating
flour found three bags of alum, which he seized. He
asked the miller if there was any alum or other ingre-
dient in the mill for the purpose of mixing with the flow-,
and the miller replied that there was some, and that he i
supposed it was for
gtinding with the wheat. The dt -
fence was that the alum was used for the purpose of
dressing the millstones, that is, stopping the holes on
the surface, but more especially for " hacking" the
stones, because ti ey were too light. The bench unani-
mously decided that the charge was made out, and they
fined the defendant 51., and 11, 17e, 6d, costs.

The Sampson, 6, paddle steam-frigate, was commis-
sioned at Portsmouth on Saturday, by Captain G. S.
Hand, for foreign service.

The letters from Paris state that the drain of gold has
diminished' during the past few days. At Amsterdam
much uncertainty seems to prevail as to the recent ar-
rangement between the Bank of Holland and the Bank
of France, and some persons state that the amount of
silver procured by the latter was but 420,0001. instead
of 1,600,0001. Possibly the agreement is for the larger
sum, but that thus far only a portion of it has been
taken.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
have Cured an Ulcerated Arm.—Mr. Robert Gregg,
jun., of Clerkeeland, Clowes, Ireland, was sorely afflicted
with a severe gathering in his armpit, which discharged
for nearly three years ; another wound
also broke out in his shoulder. His father felt alarmed,
having consulted the most eminent surgeons to no pur-
pose, while his son continued to waste away. At this
juncture a friend advised a trial of Holloway's pills and
ointment, which was made, and in six weeks they per-
fectly cured him. He is now getting fat and hale, and,
to use his own expression, as strong as a horse.—Sold
