THE DEATH OF 11USK1SSON.

At Parkside, about seventeen miles from Liverpool, the
engines stopped to take in water. Here a deplorable acci-
dent occurred to one of the illustrious visitors, which threw
a deep shadow over the subsequent proceedings of the day'
The " Northumbrian " engine, with the carriage con-
taining the Duke of Wellington, was drawn up on one line+
in order that the whole of the trains on the other line might
pass in review before him and his party. Mr. Huskisson
had alighted from the carriage, and was standing on the
opposite road, along which the " Rocket" was observed
rapidly coming up. At this moment the Duke of Welling'
ton, between whom and Mr. Huskisson some coolness had
existed, made a sign of recognition, and held out his hand'
A hurried but friendly grasp was given, and before it was
loosened there was a general cry from the bystanders of
" Get in, get in." Flurried and confused, Mr. Huskisson
endeavoured to get round the open door of the carriage,
which projected over the opposite rail ; but in so doin' he
was struck down by the Rocket, and falling with his let
doubled across the rail, the limb was instantly crushed. ,
first words, on being raised, were, " I have met my death,
e
which unhappily proved true, for he expired that same
evening in the parsonage of Eccles. It was cited at the
time as a remarkable fact, that the Northumbrian
gine, driven by George Stephenson himself, canveYe
the wounded body of the unfortunate gentleman
tanee of about 15 miles in 25 minutes, or at the rate of
miles an hour. This incredible speed burst upon the Werici
with the effect of a new and unlooked for phenomenon.
The accident threw a gloom over the rest of the day's pro'
,
ceedings. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Pee'
expressed a wish that the procession should return to Liver'
pool. It was, however, represented to them that a vast cot'
course of people had assembled at Manchester to witness I<he
arrival of the trains ; that report would exaggerate the roe'
chief, if they did not complete the journey; and that a fel°
panic on that day might seriously affect future rail
travelling, and the value of the company's property. lb:
party consented accordingly to proceed to Manchester, he
on the understanding that they should return as soon
possible, and refrain from further festivity. As the trail',
approached Manchester, crowds of people were found e°/er
e
ing the banks, the slopes of the cuttings, and even ,
railway itself. The multitude became impatient and
cited by the rumours which reached them, had outfleniteie
the military, and all order was at an end. The POP
clambered about the carriages, holding on by the air
handles, and many tumbled over; but, happily, no fel:,
accident occurred. At the Manchester station, the Ile'r",
pete
tical element began to display itself ; placards about "
loo," &c., were exhibited, and brickbats were thre.w!
at the carriage containing the Duke. On the car did
coming to a stand in the Manchester station the Dulte
t
not descend, but remained seated, shaking hands wtit,d.
women and children who were pushed forward by the nr"ei
Shortly after the trains returned to Liverpool, which tjt A
reached, after considerable interruptions in the dark,
late hour.
