FATAL OCCURRENCE ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN
RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning, at about half-past eight
o'clock, Mr. Donald M'Arthur, aged 45, a baker at
Wimbledon, died at that place from the effects of injuriFa
received by being run over by a train at the Wandsworth-
common station of the South-Western Railway on the
day of the thanksgiving. It appears that on Thursch!),
evening last the deceased, who had spent the day in
town, left Waterloo station by the seven o'clock down
train for Wimbledon. On the train reaching Wands-
worth-common station, which is in a deep cutting, the
deceased, and a gentleman named Buckley, took
advantage of the temporary stoppage of the train to
alight. Mr. Buckley first returned to the carriage, and
the train bad been set in motion, when ho observed the
deceased, who was a very portly man, endeavouring to
step on the foot board, and to enable him to do so, Mr.
Buckley held out his hand, which the deceased grasped,
and held so firmly that, on having effected his footing,
he dragged Mr. Buckley out of the carriage, and that
gentleman literally rolled over the deceased on to the
platform, at the same time releasing himself from the
deceased, who fell between the carriage and platform.
The carriage passed over the body, and so injured the
,pine as to produce instant paralysis, which continued
until death. Some portion of the carriage, probably the
iron step, caught the unfortunate man's head, both sides
of which were all but scalped. the skin and hair barely
being retained on the skull. The deceased was carried
into the station, and in a short time Mr. Howell, sen.,
sargeon at Wandsworth, attended, and dressed the de-
ceased's wounds. lie was then conveyed in a fly to
Wimbledon, and was seen :the same night Isy Dr. Fen-
nell, who continued to attend deceased until his death,
which Dr. Fennell believes to have arisen from the in-
fury done to the spine. He has left a widow, but no
family. Information has been sent to Mr. W. Carter.
the coroner for East Surrey, but the day of the inquest
has not yet been fixed.
NEWSPAPERS.—An invention of a novel character
has been made in Paris. By a simple yet ingenious
mechanism, the folding of newspapers, which has hitherto
been performed by the hand, is now effected by a pecu-
liar machine. With the assistance of one person to
attend to it this machine will fold 2,000 newspapers an
hour.—Brusar Herald.

TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sza,—lt is some gratification fur us old tars to see
occasionally some one take pity on us, and endeavour
to make those who have the puwer to do us justice.
There is not a man or officer in the navy but knows
that every word stated in your paper of the 13th, re-
lative to the navy, is most true, and even those that
have the power to remedy the existing evils must ac-
knowledge this.

But it is most extraordinary that it should be
supposed that the present system is either a cheap
or an economical one, when on a moment's reflection,
you perceive that the contrary must be the case.
For instance, when a ship is paid off the men are
"turned adrift," the consequence is that one-half of
them are lost to the service altogether, and when the
same ship, perhaps, is again commissioned, she has to
scrape together, as you observe, all the "long•shore"
vagabonds she can catch, and the ship takes three
years before she is again efficient.
This is not all; the officers get disgusted in finding
that with all their trouble of teaching and disciplining
a crew, that it is a hundred chances to one that they
or the service generally will, after that ship is paid
off, ever receive the benefit of their services, or ever
see those men again.
Another thing that disgusts a good seaman is his
being constantly drilled with all the scum collected
every fresh commission, because they don't know
their duty; thus you may see a seaman gunner, who
perhaps has a first-class certificate from the Excellent,
mixed up with a lot of greenhorns, learning and being
drilled at the cutlass or musket exercise, and perhaps
being taught the " duck-step" by a lance corporal of
marines, who has just come afloat for the first time,
and an old captain of a top being taught how to
haul out a " weather earing" by a young gentleman
fresh from school with his pockets full of lollypops.
Thus Jack, finding his proficiency saves him no
drills, takes it easy, and at last loses all regard to
smartness, or perhaps cuts a service where qualifica-
tion benefits him nothing, but rather begets him more
labour.

As for the reason we cannot get ships manned,
Jack, finding he has no home in England, and
perhaps no employment after his money is gone, he
goes to the Americans, Russians, or any foreigners,
where he gets double pay, and is always treated
with respect as a superior seaman, and is the last
man they put to drills except to teach others.
'Why should not there he barracks or guard-ships
at home or abroad for sailors, as well as soldiers, and
why not keep them on full pay always, the same as
the army ? Then their services could always be had ;
we then should always have able seamen to man our
ships, and our expenses would be less instead of
greater.

- For the last fifty years this evil has continued,
and will until the Commons of England will put up
with it no longer.
