A MAN SHOT.—Yesterday, a man named George
Buckingham, aged 47 y‘ars, who resided at No. 6, Bea'
nett's-place, golly Bush-hill, Hampstead, wag brought,
up by special train from Elstree, Hertfordshire, and
conveyed to St. George's Hospital, having sustained
serious gun-shot wounds, which it is feared may ter-
minate fatally, under the following circumstances. I;
appears that the unfortunate man is a haymaker, and
was lying to rest from labour in some long grass: when
Mr. Newman, who resides at Elstree, was out shocxtieg,
and observing something which he mistook for a bin& be
fired at it, when unfortunately the contents of the fowling"
piece lodged in the arms, legs, and body of the ma,l ag
he laid. His cries brought the assistanoe of his fell oW;
labourers, and Mr. Newman rendered every aid, and l'oA
the sufferer conveyed to a surgeon, who, finding the
wounds so very extensive, recommended his removal to
an hospital. He was then taken to a railway statiov,
and thence transferred by special train to London. 401
his arrival at the above institution he was instantly P4r‘
mitted to the Oxford ward. Some few of the shots haN°
been extracted by Mr. Cutler.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—REIGATE, Wednesday Evening'
—To-day Mr. William Carter, the coroner for SurreP
concluded an inquest, held at the King's Arms Inn'
near the railway station at Honey, on the body o.`s, Daniel Chart, nearly 80 years of age, who met with 3
most horrible death on the Brighton railway. The ac.
ceased it appeared was a labouring man living in 1`,1113
neighbourhood of Horley, and on the evening of the it it"'
inst. he was observed on the level crossing of the railwl
near the station. He had opened the wicket gate, a ElL`
proceeded to the middle of the rails without turning I rib
head, when, catching a glimpse of a train close upon
him, the old man sprang forward in a slanting direction
to get on the opposite side, but almost immediately after
he was struck down by the engine, and the whole of t2o°
train passed over his body. A more shocking spectacle
was never witnessed, the head and lower extremities ice_re,
detached, and mutilated to such an extent that it Nee'
difficult for his relations to identify him, a mark on one
of the hands being the only part that could satisfy there',
The train at the moment was travelling at the rate eb
thirty-five miles an hour. It was the six o'clock even'
ing passenger train to Brighton from London-bridge'
The driver saw the deceased attempt to cross, but the"
space between (not more than forty yards) rendered iti
impossible to stop the train in time. He sounded !ILL°
whistle to apprise him of the train approaching, whie"
was unheeded, and in a moment or two the buffer of the°
engine caught deceased on the right shoulder, and fell
him on to the metals. Some discussion arose as to the'
powers

A MAN CUT TO PIECES ON THE GREAT NORTHERNf
RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at
the Pocock Arms, Caledonian-road, Holloway, en
Joseph Porter, aged 22, a navvy in the employ of the'
Great Northern Railway Company. William Carter,
railway labourer stated that on Monday a train of 12'
waggons, laden with ballast, the break van containing%
a gang of workmen, arrived at the Holloway station, ble
before the train lost its momentum, the deceased, anxiety
to get to his work, jumped from the van, and attempted t' P
get on one of the waggons, when in stepping upon a con ;
netting rod his foot slipped, and he fell, and the whol 0
train passed over his body, cutting it to pieces. Tb
above facts having been corroborated, the coroner it
quired if there was no pecuniary penalty imposed on th 0
men for thus recklessly risking their lives ? The fore'
man of the gang replied in the negative. The corone r
observed that it was highly improper, not to have soul!!
such protection thrown around the lives of men, althoug'
they themselves appeared to put very little value upon:-
their own lives. He felt assured that, if some fine, silo-
as a shilling, was imposed in every case in which men ec''
heedlessly risked their lives, that habit would be sool?,
put down, and therefore he hoped his suggestion would
be acted upon. Verdict, " Accidental death."
DESTRUCTION OF THE ROSEMARY BRANCH CIRCUS.-
A destructive fire broke out shortly after two o'clock
yesterday morning, in the equestrian circus attached to
the grounds of the Rosemary Branch tea-gardens and
hotel, Islington-fields ; the whole of which and a void'
able troop of horses and trained dogs, were consumed.
The circus was opened the night previous, and soul°
equestrian performances were enacted ; and when the
inmates of the hotel retired to rest, the place was apPe-
rently perfectly safe. Some two hours after, the atteir
tion of the police was attracted to the moans of sore°
animals, which at the time the constables were unable
to discover, but which proved to have proceeded from
seven horses and some twelve dogs secured in stabled
round the base of the circus (a timber erection about
300 feet in circumference, built in the centre of the gar;
dens at the back of the hotel). The moaning noise ha'
scarcely ceased before the building moaning
perceived to be
on fire, and so fiercely did it sweep round the ampili"
theatre galleries as to defy all access to the poor animal
The moment the danger was ascertained, those connected
with the hotel directed every effort to rescue the ani-
mals, but it was too late, they had all perished. On th:
arrival of the engines, the fire had nearly spent its fur'
on the circus--it was completely destroyed, together
with its properties, &c. Some flakes of fire that bad
been wafted by the wind on to the roof of the adjoining
manufactory of Messrs. Campion and Hankey, wbite'
lead works, had ignited part of the premises, and which
being composed chiefly of timber, like the circus, some
apprehension was entertained for their safety. HOW'
ever, the firemen quickly checked the flames before any •
serious damage had occurred. The Rosemary Branca"
tavern escaped injury entirely. No insurance whatever
was effected on the circus or its properties. The loss n
the proprietor and to the sufferer owning the horses and
trained dogs must be very considerable. The cause ,
the fire cannot be elucidated.
