ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE.—On Wednesday last a
sad event occurred at S rear Wakefiel I, which has
cast a gloom over the village and will muse mach future
distress in two revectuule tau.alieb. From p.rticulees
gleaned on the spot, we find that a friendship has existed
for come 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 in Sandd, and provably young Fernandes
had made companions of the neighbouring servants, es
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
gun of his brother's, and went out shooting small birds.
Ho 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 Schorab, who cccasionally works there. Imme-
diately on entering the stable one barrel of the piece
went off, as is supposed from the hammer catching upon
some part of his clothes while in the act of shutting the
door after him. 'The charge of small shot entered the
felt breast of the groom Lynch, and passing near t. r
through the heart, killed him almost iestantanemsly.
The inonut was held by Mr. G. D. Barker, the ddputy-
coroner, at the Castle use, Sandal, on Thursday evening,
and the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of
" Accidentally Killed."

RAILWAY COLLISION.—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 P.M. It is not owing to any care or
precaution on the part t the officials of the company
that we have not to meld 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.
The night was fogey, and most fortunately the driver of
the train slackened his speed just before he ran into the
trucks, but notwithstanding the diminished impetus the
passengers 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 comae-
qu ?et es would have been inevitably disastrous. As it
is. tt-e c aril any ought to ascertain by whose culpable
indiffl.et ce, or worse, so many persons were placed iA
danger of their lives.
ROYAL ISLE OF WIGHT INFIRMARY.--The muni-
ficent contribution of 1,5004 stock, some time ago pro.
raised to the above institution through the Rev. W.
Spencer Phillips, of Ryde, has been invested in the
hands of trustees. The source of the benefaction is is
the will of the late Rev. George Atwick, M.A., and the
money has passed to the Isle of Wight Infirmary through
the kind in'ervention of the Ryde Castle family, and
with the c n,ent of Sir William Doraville, Bart., ind
Mr. lic tlry Denton, executors of the deceased, at whose
dipo;al the sum of 6,0001. Three-and-a• Quarter per
