ACCIDENTAL HomiclDE.—On Wednesday last a
sad event occurred at S ►ndal, near Wakefield, which has
cast a gloom over the village and will °ease snick fates•
distress in two respectable families. From particulars
gleaned on the spot, we find that a friendship has existed
fur some time between Charles Fernandes, a youth about
sixteen years of age, who is lame (having lost a leg by
accident) and the men-servants of Captain Wood. Both
families reside ir. Sandal, and probably young Fernandes
had made companions of the neighbouring servants, as
his bodily infirmity prevented him from participating in
' the sports of youths of his own class. On Wednesday
morning he obtained possession of a double-barrelled
gull of his brother's, and went out shooting small birds.
He returned to dinner, and again went out about two
o'clock. He called at Captain Wood's stable, where he
found the groom, Michael Lynch, and a young man
named Schorah, who cecasionally works there. lmme-
()lively on entering the stable one barrel of the piece
went off, as is supposed from the hammer catching upon
some part of bii clothes while in the act of shutting the
door after him. The charge of small shot entered the
r.e,ht breast of the groom Lynch, and passing near e r
thrcugh the heart, killed him almost irstantaneJuly.
The incinctt was bell by Mr. G. 11. Barker, the deputy-
coroner, at the Castle Inn, Sandal, on Thursday evening,
and the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of
" Accidentally Killed."

RAILWAY CoLuszoN.—The up•train which left
York for London at noon yesterday met with an acci-
dent on the Midland line, near Leicester, about twenty
minutes after five PAIL It is not owing to any care or
pr caution on the part of the officials of the company
that we have not to record a number of very serious
casualties. Close to the station at Leicester, at the very
moment when the York train was expected, and on th
very rails which it had to traverse, a number of goods
trucks were allowed to remain by the railway servants.
Tke night was foggy, and most fortunately the driver of
the train slackened his speed just before he ran into the
trucks, but notwithstanding the diminished impetus the
pasvngers were knocked from their seats, and some of
them very much shaken and frightened. The train
proceeded after a delay of twenty minutes. Had the
trucks been 100 yards higher up the line the cense-
qu .m es would have been inevitably disastrous. As it
is, thr coin; any ought to ascertain by whose culpable
indiff rei ce, or worse, so many person; were placed :n
danger of their lives.

ROYAL ISLE OF WIGHT INFIRMARY.—The muni-
ficent contribution of 1,5001. stock, some time ago pro-
