Accident at Ludgate-hill Station.

Yesterday afternoon an accident occurred at the pas-
senger station at Ludgate hill of the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway, which, though alarming,
_was hap-
pily unattended with serious consequences.
At that part of the line northward beyond the present
temporary station there were nine girders resting,upon the
walls which were to support the iron roof intended to be
placed there, but it being considered advisable to have' a
lighter roof, that [portion which had been fitted was re-
moved, and a substantial derrick had been put up to sup-
port the girdess in the unfinished state of the roof. An
iron band went the length of the roof, and the derrick sup-
ported that band which held the girders. It is supposed
that the high wind which prevailed must have acted in the
face of the girders, and shaken the derrick, which slipped
and fell, the band, of course, giving way, and the girders
coming down. The crash, as might bo supposed, was
alarming, and a large crowd immediately gathered. Hap-
pily there was no cause for fear, as the hoarding outside
the walls was sufficiently deep to prevent any portion fall-
ing into the roadway. As it was, the girders fell on to the
line, and no further damage ensued.
Mr. Bishop, the superintendent of the line, with Mr
Thomas, the principal assistant to Mr. Cubitt, the engineer
of the company, and the foreman to Mr. Lucas, the con-
tractor, were soon upon the spot, and went over the works.
But a very small portion of the scaffolding ]gave way, and
not a single brick was displaced from the external walls.
The portion of the line whore the accident happened was
beyond the traffic part of the station, and although the der-
rick fell somewhat near the carriages, no one was injured.

IS RE SIR R. R. ROBERTS, BART.

The bankrupt was described as of Bayswater, formerly
a prisoner for debt, and to-day was appointed for proof of
debts and choice of assignees. The bankrupt assigns the
following as the cause of his failure :—" To the attorney
formerly employed by me not having followed my instruc-
tions, whereby I was obliged to resign the commission then
held by me as paymaster in her Majesty's 12th Regiment
of Lancers, instead of exchanging into a regiment pro-
ceeding to India, by which exchange I should have re-
received £5OO in money, and an annual income of £9OO so
long as I remained in the service." Debts to the amount
of about £2,100 have been placed on the filo. Assignees
were chosen.

L(Befoie Mr. Registrar Winslow.)
IN RE ROBY.-FAILURE OF A COMBDIAN.

This bankrupt was described as a comedian, of Peckham,
and to-day he came up to pass his last examination. Ho
describes the cause of his failure to be illness and insuffi-
ciency of income.

about £lBB, and stated that the bankrupt had made an
offer of £25 per annum until his debts should be paid, and
the creditors were disposed to accept it.
His Honour granted the order of discharge upon the terms
proposed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—lt appears that the controversy between Mr. Cole-
man and Mr. Addison has created quite a furore in spiritual
circles. Mr. Coleman would wish the public to infer that
ho believes the Davenport Brothers receive material aid
from the spirits of immortality, and that Mr. Addison must
be in like favour with these ethereal beings, so as to enable
him to do what he has done (for Mr. Coleman agrees that
Mr. Addison has accomplished quite as extraordinary feats
as the Wonderful Brothers). This relationship Mr. Addi-
son strongly denies, and asserts that ho receives no material
aid except from his own strong muscles. We perfectly
agree with Mr. Addison, and shall, on Wednesday evening,
the sth of April, give a rope-tying tournament and dark
seance at the Horns Assembly Rooms, Kennington, which
we invite both Mr. Addison and Mr. Coleman to attend,
and shall be most happy to be tied up by either of these
gentlemen according to the recognised Davenport rules.
We have not the least fear that we shall be able to extri-
cate ourselves, and will show to the public how this mar-
vellous illusion is accomplished, so that they may in future
judge for themselves who to believe—Mr. Coleman or Mr.
Addison.
We are, sir, your obedient servants,
STACEY -AND KELLY.

EXECUTION AT LANCASTER.—Stephen Burke,
upon whom sentence of death was passed at the late
Lancashire Assizejs for the murder of his wife, at Preston,
on January 30, was hanged at Lancaster Castle, at noon on
Saturday. On Friday he was visited by fivo of his children
—the sixth; au infant, is at the Preston workhouse—four
of his brothers, and a nephew. The interview was of a
most affecting character. Burke traced his crime to
nothing but drink, and, in a letter he has written, he ad-
vises all his relatives never to touch intoxicating liquors
again.

THE CELEBRATED CHESTNUT-TREE OF THE
TUILERIES that bursts into leaf before its neigh-
bours, and generally enters an appearance by tile Ist of
March, is a laggard this year. Crowds stare up at it bald
crown in disappointment. The tradition which has given
the people faith in the precocity of this tree dates—neither
from the birth of the King of Rome, nor from Napoleon's
return from Elba. The date is the 201 h of March, 1746.
A celebrated painter was accused of having assassinated
his rival at the Royal Academy on that day. The painter's
name was Joseph Vien. He proved before the tribunal of
the Chatelet that at the moment of the murder he was
standing, gossiping with the Duchess do Roncevaux, under
a chestnut-tree. He said he could identify the tree, for it
was the only one in leaf. " This alibi," we are told, saved
Vien's head ; and from that time the people have watched
the precocious tree. It has seldom failed ; but the cold of
the present year has been too much for it.—Athenfewn.

WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool were brought to a close
to-day, and during their progress about 85,000 bales have
been disposed of. They have passed off with a fair amount
of activity, but only good and fine wools—owing to an ex-
tensive demand for shipment to the Continent—have com-.
manded more money. Prices close at an advance of id. to
ld. per lb. for good and fine Cape and Australia produce,
and at previous rates for inferior qualities. These prices
have boon current during the greater part of the series, the
chief exception to this remark being confined to Port
Philip produce, which, at the commencement of the sales,

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 27, 18G5.

Among the many deaths that yearly take place
among us from us from preventable causes few are
more painful and shocking in their nature than
those which arise from the accidental administra-
tion of poisons. The circumstances are so painful,
the death so rapid and terrible in its nature, and
frequently attended with such severe suffering, that
it forms one of the saddest pages in domestic tragedy.
It would appear at first sight as if such a disaster
ought to be of very rare occurrence, and as if the
commonest precaution would . serve to avert it ; but
experience provesto the contrary, and the Registrar-
General in the course of the year finds occasion to
include a great many such cases in his death list.
Sometimes the catastrophe occurs from domestic
carelessness. A child reaches down a cup or a bottle
containing some poisonous mixture used for house-
hold purposes. A change in the arrangement of a
cupboard entails the loss of a life, as in a recent
case where a girl, going to take a glass of her
sister's medicine, drank deadly poison instead, and
died in a few minutes. Sometimes the accident re-
sults from such culpable carelessness that the sur-
vivors are scarcely to be pitied for the sufferings
they have brought upon themselves. There was
one instance of this sort, in which some parents
strewed some poisoned bread for rats on a shelf on
which they were accustomed to put food for their
children. Such catastrophes cannot be provided
against by law. They can only be avoided by a
proper exercise of caution and reasonable care on
the part of all who have occasion to employ
poisons of any kind, and especially by the
heads of families discouraging the unnecessary use
of poisons of any kind in their households. In the
case of their use some one person should be made
responsible, and keep them under lock and key. A
few minutes time and trouble nay often save years
of sorrow and unavailing regret.
But there is another class of accidents, sadly too
common, over which there is more hope of obtaining
some control. 'We allude to the very frequent in-
stances in which the careless compounding of medi-
cines or the misreading of prescriptions causes fatal
results. The substitution of laudanum for some
less dangerous drug is the most common cause of
such disasters. A mother sending for Black
draught," a simple domestic remedy for an ailing
child, received in return " Black drop," one of the
strongest forms of opium. A lady, residing in
Liverpool, some short time since took some medicine
according to her doctor's prescription, went to sleep,
and never woke again. Instances might be multi-
plied ad infinitum of this kind of carelessness or
ignorance and its fatal consequences, and unhappily
they are such as no amount of prudence or watch-
fulness can certainly avert. It is easy to know
laudanum and a few other poisons by the smell or
taste, but there are many deadly drugs with little,
flivour and harmless appearance, while even those
most readily recognisable when pure may escape

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was on offer here, to-day, a full average supply
of beasts from Normandy, Portugal, Switzerland, Ger-
many, and Holland, in improved condition. The supply
of foreign sheep was good, of calves and pigs only mode-
rate. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Scotland, were tolerably good, and
mostly in prime condition. From inland the receipts were
limited. Primo brands were in steady request at full prices.
Otherwise, the beef trade was heavy, and the quotations
had a drooping tendency. The best Scots and Downs told
at ss. 2d. per lb. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire we received 2,100 Scots and crosses; from
other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland,
380 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland 120 oxen and
heifers.

With sheep we were but moderately supplied. Those in
the wool were taken off steadily at full prices. Prime shorn
sheep ruled steady, but inferior breeds declined 2d. per 81b.
The general top price of Downs and half-breeds, in the
wool, was 6s. Bd., out of the wool, ss. 4d. to ss. 6d. per 81b.
A few very prime half-bred tups, in the wool, sold as high
as 7s. per 81b.

Lambs were in fair supply and sluggish request, at from
6s. to 7s. per 81b.

We have to report a steady fall for calves, at full prices
viz., from 4s. 6d. to ss. Bd. per 81bs.

Pigs were quite as dear as last week with a fair inquiry.

THAMES.

ROBBERY ON BOARD SHIP.—Robert George, aged 19, and
described as a Frenchman, late of tho ship St. Paul, in the
West India Dock, was charged with stealing 10 sovereigns,
the moneys of Mr. Allen Brown Dunham, the mate of the
vessel.

The prisoner had been a seaman on board the St. Paul
for 20 months. On Thursday last he was left in charge of
the vessel at four o'clock in the afternoon. On the follow-
ing morning he was missing, and the mate at the same
time found his chest in the cabin open, and missed 10
sovereigns from it. He gave information to the police, and
on Saturday night the prisoner was captured in the City of
London Theatre by Robert Biddle, a police-constable. The
prisoner was seated between two loose women, with whom
he had expended a portion of the prosecutor's money. The
constable found 6 sovereigns and 3s. 6d. in silver upon him,
and ho admitted that it was part of the money he had
stolen from the mate's chest.

The prisoner was asked if he would plead now or prefer
being tried by a jury. He selected the latter alternative,
and was committed for trial.

A DRUNKEN MOTKER.—Frances Shepherd, a haggard,
pale-faced woman, half-palsied, and with a babe in her
arms, who gave the name of Day, was charged with being
drunk and incapable. She was found last night in the
snow with her child under her, and one would have
perished from cold and the other would have been suffo-
cated but for the prompt assistance of a police-constable,
who took mother and child to the station-house. It was
stated that the child was 10 weeks old, and that the pri
soner was in custody seven weeks ago for being drunk and
incapable, and then was in danger of perishing.
Mr. Paget—What is the woman ?
The prisoner—l am a cab-driver's wife.
Mr. Paget—And you are killing yourself as fast as you
can by indulging in this horrible vice, and you are endan-
gering the life of that helpless babe.
The prisoner—l don't often take much.

Mr. Paget—You were here seven weeks ago for being
drunk and incapable, and you were just out of your con-
finement. Your child was then three weeks old. Your
drunkenness has brought on premature old age. Your
appearance is quite shocking. I believe you are a con-
firmed drunkard. Go away.

The prisoner, who is a young woman, crept out of the
dock. She appeared to be labouring under delirium
tremens.
