RAILWAY ACCIDENTS,—From a Parliamentary paper
just printed, it appears that there were 100 persons
killed and 119 injured by accidents on all the rail-
ways in the United Kingdom during the half-year
ending June 30, 1854, there being 81 killed and
102 injured in England and Wales, 14 killed and 13
injured in Scotland, and 5 killed and 4 injured in
Ireland. Of those killed, 22 (3 passengers and 19
rail Way servants or contractors) met their death from
causes over which they' had no control, and 40 (4 pas-
sengers and 36 railway servants) in consequence of their
own misconduct or want of caution. In like-manner 72
passengers and 19 railway servants were injured from
causes over which they had no control, while 3 passen-
gers and 44 servants or contractors met with injuries
from their own carelessness or misconduct. 38 trespas-
sers or other persons, not passengers or servants, were
killed and 5 injured while crossing or walking on the
railway, There were no suicides. These accidents
occurred on 7,813 miles of railway, of which 5,964 are
open in England Wales, 996 in Scotland, and 853 in
Ireland. The number of accidents to trains was 47, 36
being to passenger and 11 to goods or mineral trains.
Of the 36 accidents to passenger trains 21 were collisions
between passenger and other trains or engines, and of
the 11 accidents to goods and mineral trains 5 were col-
lisions. The total number of deaths resulting from acci-
dents to trains was 11, and of injuries 85. Of these no
less than 9 deaths and 64 injuries were caused by colli-
sions alone, 2 deaths and 57 injuries being to passengers,
and the remainder to railway servants.

TREATMENT OF JUVENnE OFFENDERS.—A little inci-
dent occurred at the London and North-Western station,
in New-street, Birmingham, a few evenings ago, which
excited considerable interest and observation among the
passengers and others on the platforms. Three sharp,
hardy-looking, ready-tongued youths, dressed in cor-
duroy jackets and trousers, laced boots, &c., not un-
like healthy farmers' lads, were seated on one of the
benches in lively and earnest conversation with a gen-
tleman of Birmingham, who had previously regaled
them with a substantial repast in the second-class re-
freshment room. Thence they proceeded, accompanied
by their friend and benefactor, to the Liverpool platform,
and, much to the surprise of the spectators, entered
a first-class carriage of the express train, destined for
that port. The lads, upon entering it, appeared highly
delighted with their luxurious position, and caused
much amusement to the bystanders by their observa-
tions and gestures. Upon inquiry, after the train had
left, it was ascertained that the three youths were from
the Reformatory Institution at Kingswood, near Bristol,
in which Miss Carpenter takes so deep an interest,
and that they were on their way to the United States,
where suitable employment awaits them. The gentle-
man who attended them at the Birmingham station
had been requested to see to their arrival and depar-
ture, and similar care was taken with respect to their
reception at and departure from Liverpool. The boys
appeared to be in the highest spirits, and had with
them two boxes, besides bundles, containing wearing ap-
parel, books, &c., and were expected to sail from Liver-
pool immediately.
MORAL ELEVATION OF THE WORKING CLASSES.—
On Saturday a handsome and commodious building, in-
tended for the mechanics' institute, was opened in the
village of Levenshulme, near Manchester, situate in a dis-
trict which but a few years ago was looked upon as
hopelessly sunk in ignorance and vice. A short time
since a number of gentlemen residing in the neighbour-
hood determined to take steps to elevate the moral and
social position of the inhabitants. First a few concerts
were given—a mutual improvement class formed—gra-
tuitous lectures delivered—day school opened, and
evening classes, together with a circulating library and
reading-room, established. By these means a very marked
improvement has taken place in the general character of
the inhabitants, and they have now erected a building
for a mechanics' institution at a cost of 1,0001. One
part of the building will be used as a day and evening
school for 250 children, and another as a reading-room.
There is already a library of 600 volumes, and special
efforts are being made to increase the number to 1,000.
UTTER EXTINCTION OF OLD BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—
The last of anything connected with the long-since-de-
funct " Bartlemy Fair" has j ust expired. Saturday we s the
day upon which the Lord Mayor should have proceeded
to Smithfield and read the proclamation, which is part of
the charter for holding the market for the fair. The act
of Parliament for removing the market to Copenhagen-
fields has at length relieved the corporation of going
through the useless ceremony, and as the law of remcval
comes into operation next year, of course there was no
necessity for his lordship to attend and proclaim the fair
in compliance with the charter which sanctioned the
holding of the market.
