SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was
held by Mr. W. Edwards, coroner, at Deep' g St.
Nicholas, on the 9th inst., to inquire into the deathl of
John Stinson, an Irishman, who lost his life under verf
melancholy circumstances. On the 7th inst. the deceas-
ed and a companion named Thomas Jennings left Leeds
for Spalding by the Great Northern Railway, intending
to proceed to the Littleworth station for harvest work
in that neighbourhood. They had taken tickets as far
as Spalding, and on arriving at that station, where the
train only remains one minute, they applied for tickets
for Littleworth. In the hurry and impulse of the mo-
ment, the clerk gave them the required ticket, although,
had be been asked whether the train stopped at Little-
worth, the contrary would have occurred to him, and
the tickets would have been withheld. No sooner had
the train started than the clerk perceived his mistake,
but had no other means of rectifying it than by forward.

THE ATTACK ON BOMARSIIND.

DANTZIC, Friday Noon.—Two 'of the forts at
Bomarsund have been taken—one by the French
and one by the English. In the fort taken by the
French, the Russian loss consisted of 50 killed, 20
wounded, and 35 prisoners ; on the side of the
French, Lieutenant Noulfe and two Chasseurs
were killed, 115 of the Russians were made pri-
soners. The Russians buried their dead in casks.
The Hon. George Wrottesley, Lieutenant of the
Royal Engineers, was killed. Captain Ramsay, of
her Majesty's ship Hogue, was slightly wounded.
One of the English marines was also killed. Seve-
ral French soldiers were killed by mistake, in an
accidental encounter during the night. Two screw
guard-ships, the Hogue and the Edinburgh, and
steamers, bombarded the forts for five hours,
throwing their shot at a distance of 3,000 yards.
The Penelope, which had been on shore, has lost
all her guns.

Another despatch says the names of the forts
captured are, Fort Tzee and Fort Nottich. It
adds, the loss of the allies was small.
The following is dated Bomarsund, Aug. 17 :
Admiral Napier arrived here yesterday.
The French troops have attacked the .twelve
out-works of the fortress. They had six men
wounded, and took 30 Russian prisoners.
Fifteen ships of the line are assembled before
the place.

WAKEFIELD-AUGUST 18.

The wheat trade has assumed a firmer tone, and we have
experienced a steady consumptive demand for fresh quali-
ties at nearly the rates of last week. Other sorts must be
noted Is per qr. lower, and the sale is limited. In spring
corn there is no material change to note.

Bou Maza, who has obtained permission from
the French government to serve in the Turkish
army, arrivecUon the 4th at Constantinople in the
Ganges steamer.
The illoniteur says :—" The different reports
which have reached the Minister of Marine state
that the fete of the 15th was celebrated with the
greatest enthusiasm in our ports and naval esta-
blishments. Everywhere the devotedness and
attachment of our maritime population, of our
soldiers, our sailors, and our workmen cordially
united them in the official rejoicings."

GOOLE REGATTA.

More visitors by rail and by water helped to pack all
houses of entertainment, which were on the ?revious day
pretty well filled. Heaps of boiled and roast rapidly
vanished, and were washed down with floods of beer ;
whilst in the neighbourhood of "canvas tuwn" the music
of various qualities, good, bad, and indifferent, the clouds
of tobacco smoke, and the husky efforts of serenaders,
peripatetic showmen, and ginger-beer manufacturers,
were perfectly bewildering. Captain Collier, as usual,
was the presiding genius of the sports ; and one notice-
able feature was the removal of the committee-room to
jolly host Chattam's, to the great chagrin of his rival,
Cliffe.

The sports commenced yesterday with a prize of
8/. 10a. for yachts, for which there were three entries,
viz., Frolic, Pearl, and Flirt, which started at 2.15, the
Frolic taking the lead and keeping it throughout, and
arriving the winning boat at 4.9.20, the Pearl 4 13.12,
and the Flirt 4.20.35.

Prize of 41. for open boats, which was won by the
Chance, beating %Yonder, English Prize, Jessamine, Elf,
Industry, and surprise.
Rowing Match, 31., four oars and coxswain, won by
Mr. Fletcher's boat, beating Mr. Cliffe's and Mr. Pear.
eon's boats.

Minor matches and other miscellaneous sports con-
cluded the programme. The weather, though cloudy,
was fair, the wind keeping N.W. or thereabouts. It is
to be hoped this'. an endeavour will be made previous to
next regatta to liberalise the management, and to throw
open the competition to all England, by which means
better sport may be insured.

PRUSSIA.

Letters from Berlin, of the 15th, state that
Comte Arnim was to set out on the following day
for Vienna, with instructions according to the pre-
vailing belief, to take part in and sign a protocol,
having for its object to express in general terms the
necessity for new guarantees against any fresh
attempts on the side of Russia to endanger the
peace of Europe.
The Russian party displays the greatest activity,
though hitherto without success.

BELGIUM.

The Etoile Beige says :

" Several arrests, which seem connected with politics,
have just been effected at Brussels. M. Victor Consi-
derant, well known as the head of the Phalansterian
doctrine, has been locked up at the Petits-Carmes,
accused, it is said, of having purchased arms for the pur-
pose of organising a plot against the Government. An
arrest which surprises us still more is that of M.Van der
Elst, who fills a high post on the staff of the railway.
It is related of this latter that the police seized at his
office a package sent to him from Liege by a French
political refugee, and in which, it is said, an infernal
machine and a revolving pistol was found. We have to
add that M. Considerant declares that he purchased the
arms with a view to sending them to Texas, where it is
positive that he has organised a phalansterium, and M.
Van der Elst, on his side, affirms that he received the
package only to oblige the refugee who sent it, and who
informed him that it contained soap. On the other
hand, says the Independence, we are assured that the
person who sent the case to M. Van der Elet is not a
French refugee. But, beside M. Consid4rant, there is
another French refugee arrested, as well as the person
who sent the package, containing not an infernal ma-
chine, but about half a score of small bombs of a particu-
lar kind. The manufacturer of these bombs has also been
arrested."

In a subsequent number the Etoile Beige adds
to the above statement. "It is said that M. Bru-
net (de l'Argentiere) formerly an officer in the
French army, and whol has been living at Brussels
for several months, but who is not a political refu-
gee, had ordered from M. Sanders, a manufacturer
of arms, certain incendiary tubes. This order is
said to haie been given in a letter enclosing a re-
mittance of 60fr. on account. In this letter is
said to be the following phrase, As to M. Victor
Considerant, I prefer that you should speak to
him yourself.' This phrase, it appears, is the only
indication to connect M. Consideraut with the plot,
if plot there be."

DEATH OF LORD BEAUMONT.

We are enabled to correct a mis•etatement relative to
the death of the above lamented nobleman, which has
appeared in several of our morning contemporaries. His
lordship's death is stated to have been occasioned by
Asiatic cholera. Such is not the fact. His lordship
was attacked with a low fever, which terminated in his
death. The following is the certificate of the medical
gentlemen who attended his lordship down to the time
of his decease :

" We certify that Miles Thomas Lord Beaumont died
at No. 17, aßruton-street, Berkeley-square, at twelve
o'clock on the night of the 16th of August instant, and
that the disease of which he died was fever, terminating
in intestinal perforation.
(Signed) "A. TWEEDIE, M.D., F.R.R.
" Wm. POTTS, F.R.C.S."

Miles Thomas Stapleton Lord Beaumont was, in the
female line, the head of a very ancient Roman Catholic
family in Yorkshire, in which the Beaumont peerage
had for a great number of years been in abeyance. The
abeyance was terminated in 1840, in favour of the late
peer, as the sole representative of the elder co-heir,
Joan Lovell Lady Stapleton, elder daughter of Joane de
Beaumont Viscountess Lovell, dimahter of William
second Viscount and seventh Baron Beaumont, who
died in the reign of Henry VII. The late peer was
born in 1805, and married in 1844 Isabella Anne, eldest
daughter of Lord Kilmaine, by whom he leaves Henry,
now Lord Beaumont, born in 1843, and two other
children, a son and daughter.

juniors (Lieutenant Curais) complained against.
We do not then think there can be much doubt in
any unprejudiced mind but that Colonel GARRETT
had used the expressions referred to, and that a
letter to the General of the District had been
tendered to him.

As to the issue respecting Captain NICHOLAS,
the letter of Lieut. WALDEY to the prisoner,
stating the opprobious language used towards
Ensign COOTE, would have justified the assertion,
even if Captain NICHOLAS had come forward to
swear, like his superior officer, that "he had no
recollection of having ill-treated young officers, or
aided and abetted others in doing so." His ab-
sence, however, prevents the possibility of any
decision adverse to the prisoner on the charges in
which the Gallant Captain is concerned.
Major-General WETHERALL told the Court that
the questions for its decision were, whether the
matter had occurred as stated by the prisoner ;
for if not, "he must have stated what he knew
to be false !" Now this is a gross lion sequitur.
He might have verily believed them to be true,
and the common conversation iu the Regiment
would be sufficient to warrant the assumption—
and as the wilfulness of the falsehood, the know-
ledge of the untruth was essential, the Adjutant-
General laid down the issue very incorrectly in
tnat which, under the circumstances, was rather
the charge of a judge than the speech of a prose-
cutor. On the whole, we do not think that the
reply of Major-General WETHERALL will place
military tribunals in a more favourable light than
they bad previously been regarded ; and, in truth,
it was difficult to place them in a worse point of
vie w.

WOOLLEN T RADE.

(Prom the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, August 18.—There has been no change of
any importance in the state of the woollen market
this week ; a fair steady business has been done
in the cloth-halls ; but, perhaps, rather below what
has .been the a.vera:4-e during several preceding weeks,
for the stock of cloth in the market is so considerably
reduced that there are not goods of a marketable cha-
racter in the cloth-halls sufficient to supply the demands
of the merchants. The manufacturers are actively em-
p:oyed, and rsadily dispose of their goods as soon as they
are produced. Prices have a strong upward tendency.
There has been a fair seasonable trade done in the ware-
houses this week—quite as much as is usual at this
period of the year.

- HUDDERSFIELD, August 15.—The market to-day was
not much different in character from those of a few
weeks past. Blacks are not in quite so much request as.
they have been. There was an improved demand for
fancy woollens.

ROCHDALE, Monday, Aug. 14.—We have had a very
fair demand for flannels to-day, at prices much the same
as those of the preceding week.
BRADFORD, Thursday.—WooL.—There are con-
siderable arrivals of wool, but at prices beyond
the reach of the worsted spinner. Yarns.—The
prices of yarns are not commensurate with the
high rates of wool, and there is a hardening
tendency in the prices. Pieces.—The cost to produce
being in the ascendant, manufacturers are exceedingly
cautious. There is no disposition to increase the present
production, which is not 50 per cent. of what it was in
August, 1853.

HALIFAX MARKET, August 12.—We have found no
alteration in our piece-market to-day.
London, England, 1854-08-19

SPAIN.

The Mon iteur publishes the following telegraphic
despatch :

BAYONNE, 17m.—In consequence of a resolu-
tion come to by the Spanish Ministry, the arms
taken by private individuals are to be delivered
up to the Junta. The governor of Madrid inter-

SPORTING INTELhIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.

The Ebor HAndicap is at present the chief event
touched upon, Heapy being the most conspicuous in the
betting, but is anything but steady in the market. At
the commencement of the week 7 to 1 might have been
obtained with ease, but, mushroom-like, he sprang to 5
to 2 taken, which price was taken freely yesterday.
To-day, however, he was very tenderly dealt with, 3 to
1 was offered against him, and taken once to a tenner
only, 4 to 1 was afterwards asked for (as we thought by
way of a feeler), no one offering to back him for anything
like a sum. Grand Inquisitor and Dr. O'Toole were
both firm at their quotations. The Hermit was quite
friendless ; an even 100 was offered on Dawson's lot
against anything bar one ; 6 to 1 was offered on the field
for the St. Leger, and 10 to 1 on the field for the Lea-
mington Stakes, or to give soven against the field. The
following are the latest quotations :

TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH

TO THE

ADMIRAL TY.

ADMIRALTY, SATURDAY, AUG. 19.

A. Telegraphic Despatch has been received at

the Admiralty this day from the Flag Lieutenant

of Vice-Admiral Sir CaARLES NAPIER, announc-

ing that the Forts of Bomarsund surrendered to

the Allied Forces at 12.30 P.M. on the 16th

instant.

Upwards of 2,000 prisoners laid down their

arms, and were immediately embarked.

The loss on either side was inconsiderable.

The appetite for warlike news in England will
only be whetted by intelligence such as that just
received in reference to the sanguinary fight-
ing at the Aland Islands, followed (gloriously
for the Allies) by the surrender of Bomar-
sund. Naturally enough, people are becom-
ing solicitous iu earnest as to the result, this
year, of all our gigantic preparations for the
humbling of the pride of Russia, now that the
campaign, with a painful resemblance both to the
wounded snake and the alexandrine, is "dragging
its slow length along" to the very verge of Octo-
ber. A great beginning has yet to be made in the
labour of the subjugation of the pride and obsti-
nacy of the AUTOCRAT. Once seriously com-
menced, that task must be effected completely
without any interruption in the process of its
accomplishment, unless the Western Allies of
Turkey are really desirous of bringing glory to
their antagonist, and discredit upon themselves.
Let the war be at last commenced now vigor-
ously, and, we would ask, is there time left within
the limits of the present campaign for its decisive
termination ? Scarcely. Scarcely, even with the
mighty forces, both military and. maritime, col-
lected together in the Black Sea and in the Baltic
by the French and English Governments.
Why, according to all accounts from the Gulf
of Finland, it
would be little less than
the work of an entire campaign to destroy
the insular fortifications of Sweaborg, and to
effect the capture (by destroying those fortifica-
tions) of the powerful •
City of Helsingfors. Be-
yond which, of course, we all know but too well,
lies that mighty outpost of the empire
of the
CZAR—Cronstadt—with its terrible batteries,
batteries terrible in themselves, but doubly s°
because associated with all the perils and obstruc-
tions of shallow navigation. Turning again to
the Euxine we cannot overlook the formidable
besides the garrison of the
consideration that,
Crimea, especially that enormous portion of it
sheltered within the vast fortifications
of
Sebastopol, there are upon the shores
of the Black Sea to bo overcome
either in succession or simultaneously the Mus-
covite soldiers in Moldavia and those also in the
Caucasus. If the Russian army in Circassia has
been worsted, although with occasional successes
of its own by way of moderate, or at least seeming
compensation, the Allies are retarded in that
quarter by the decision with which the warrior
Prophet SCRAXYL demands preliminary guarantees
from the Ottoman Porte (as to the future) as
security for his active and •
goer:retie co-operation.

special correspondent of the Morning Post :--
CAMP OF THE FIRST DIVISION.—GEWLECKER,
August 4.—The absorbing topic hero is no longer
the discussion of ephemeral rumours about forth-
coming movements towards scenes of active war-
fare. Au enemy more terrible than Cossack lances
has attacked the allied force—fever, cholera, and
diarrhoea, and other complaints, are doing their
deadly work ; and when their ravages will cease,
human sagacity may vainly speculate. Every di-
vision of the army is more or less affected. As an
illustration of the state of things, and of the alarm-
ing progress of illness, take the following details,
set forth, de die in, diem, of sickness in the three

Scarcely any business has been transacted here this week,
owing to the poor assortment of samples in the market.

upward tendency. Refined is much wanted, but is in
short supply.

THE ATTACK ON BOMARSIIND.

DINTZIC, Friday Noon.—Two of the forts at
Bomarsund have been taken—one by the French
and one by the English. In the fort taken by the
French, the Russian loss consisted of 50 killed, 20
wounded, and 35 prisoners ; on the side of the
French, Lieutenant Noulfe and two Chasseurs
were killed, 115 of the Russians were made pri-
soners. The Russians buried their dead in casks.
The Hon. George Wrottesley, Lieutenant of the
Royal Engineers, was killed. Captain Ramsay, of
her Majesty's ship Hogue, was slightly wounded.
One of the English marines was also killed. Seve-
ral French soldiers were killed by mistake, in an
accidental encounter during the night. Two screw
guard-ships, the Hogue and the Edinburgh, and
steamers, bDmbarded the forts for five hours,
throwing their shot at a distance of 3,000 yards.
The Penelope, which had been on shore, has lost
all her guns.
Another despatch says the names of the forts
captured are, Fort Tzee and Fort Nottich. It
adds, the loss of the allies was small.
The following is dated Bomarsuud, Aug. 17 :
Admiral b.-spier arrived here yesterday.

The French troops have attacked the twelve
out-works of the fortress. They had six men
wounded, and took 30 Russian prisoners.

Fifteen slips of the line are assembled before
the place.

THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA.

We learn by telegraphic despatches from Vienna
last evening, that the expedition will not leave
for the Crimea before the 20th or 25th, but this
rumour is probably set afloat to deceive the
Russian spies

The army crnsists of 48,000 French and 24,000
English.

TILE PRINCIPALITIES.

The followiag has been received from Vienna :
" Orders hive just been issued for the Austrian
troops to enttr Wallachia.
" ORsovA, Aug. 18.—The Austrians have com-
menced crossing the frontier at Turnu-Severin.
" BUCIEAREiT, Aug. 14.—Omer Pacha has issued

" The Turkish outposts have advanced along the
Jalomnitza.

CZERNOW[TZ, Aug. 16.—The evacuation of the
Principalities by the Russians continues.
" The Russian head-quarters are at Ismael."
