RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
ST. HELEN ,CANAL AND RAILWAY.
A special meeting of the proprietors was held at
Liverpool on Saturday, Mr. G. Greenall in the chair, at
which the copy of a Bill was submitted for the approval
of the shareholders, to make branch railways to War,
rington and Bla-krock, to make alterations in the main
line, and also to take a lease of the Rainford branch of
the London and North-Western Railway. The resolu-
tion approving of the Big was carried by a majority, two
dissentients having voted against it.
Mr. C. Tiou.AND stated that the present trade of the
company in coals amounted to 650,000 tons, and that it
was likely to increase to 800,000 or 1,000,000 tons, all
of which would be shipped at Garston. He thought it
was to be regretted that the London and North-Western
Company should have been induced to strenuously op-
pose their Bill, and incur so much expense, when the
whole cost of the extension would not exceed 50,0001.

DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY.
The annual meeting of the shareholders was held at
Dundee on Wednesday, Mr. W. Thorns in the chair.
The report recommended that a dividend of 4 per cent.
be declared for the past half-year.
The CHAIRMAN stated that as the lease of the line to a
neighbouring company at a guaranteed dividend of 8 per
cent. had been already sanctioned by the shareholders,
the report was necessarily brief ; that the revenue of
the past year, ending the 14 of May, 1847, amounted to
16,6711., which showed an increase over that of the pre-
ceding year (15,5490 of above 7 percent.; that on every
branch of traffic an increase had taken place, which still
continues; and that the business of the railway was car-
ried on in a satisfactory manner to the public. Resolu-
tions were passed, adopting the report, approving of tho
dividend payable in July free of income-tax, and adding
to the directors Lord Kinnaird and Mr. Small.

EDINBURGH, LEITH, & GRANTON RAILWAY.
A special meeting of this company was held at Edin-

which four Bills were unanimously approved—To make
a branch to the Upper Draw bridge in Leith; a branch
from Bonnington to Trinity-villa; a branch from the
Hay market Railway station to join the Union Canal at
Meagetland, and the Caledonian Railway at Gorgie
Mains; and also to amalgamate the above company with
the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company.
It was stated that the number of directors represent-
ing the former company in the amalgamated company
is three, and that of the latter company eight; the ca-
pital of the one being 310,0004; and that of the other
1,400,0001.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE
NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.
To relieve 'the anxiety which cannot fail to exist in
the minds of all parties who had friends passing over
the railway on Saturday, we proceed to give an accurate
list of the sufferers by the catastrophe ; the names given
yesterday being not only incomplete, but incorrect in
some important particulars. The number stated to have
been killed by the collision was correctly stated yester-
day as seven individuals ; besides these, there are four
others more or less seriously injured, who still remain
at the Wolverton station. Only two of the deceased
parties have as yet been owned by their friends. The
other five have been identified by marks and papers
found on their persons.
The following is a list of the
PASSENGERS KILLED.
Mr. John Simpson Sherratt, of Lichfield, formerly
secretary to the Lichfield and Birmingham Railway
Company.
Mr. T. Makinson, a graduate of Magdalen Hall,
Oxford.
Mr. J. Clifton, silk mercer, who was on his road to
Leamington.
Mr. J. B. Rattray, of the firm of Keay and Rattray,
of the Lily Bank Foundry, Dundee.
Mr. Miller, honorary secretary to the Ragged School,
held at 107, Breadwall, London.
Mr. Cope, a young gentleman, apparently about 20
years of age, who was on his way to Wolverhampton.
And a Mr. Henry Smith, a remarkably fine man,
who, from the ticket found in his pocket, is supposed to
have booked himself for Birmingham.
Of the above Mr. Sherratt and Mr. Makinson have
alone been recognised by their respective friends. Mr.
Girton was identified on Saturday night by a friend,
who was in the same train, but who went on shortly
after the accident, and has not since been heard of. Mr.
Rattray is known bYylettere and cards found on his
person. Mr. Miller 4-4r'A.:- :iith him a small pocket
Bible, having his name, as secretary to the Raggel School
above alluded to, inscribed therein. The identity of Mr.
Cope is proved by his name being legibly written in
each glove, and by subsequent inquiries which have been
made for him ; and that of Mr. Henry Smith rests on
the marks which appear on his linen, where the name
of " Henry Smith, No. 6, 1843," is inscribed at full
length. As the latter body is the only one as to which
there can be the slightest doubt, it may be as well to
mention that the unfortunate gentleman wore a very
handsome gold watch, the maker's initials being "W.
D.," and the number "12 275." Ms watch key is at-
tached to a ring, on which were three common keys, the
one belonging to a Bramah lock. In the centre of the
watch key is a green stone, on which is engraved, in
the form of a crest, a " heron's head and neck, having
a fish in its mouth." A blue purse, containing gold and
silver moneys, was also found on the deceased's

person.
The above are the only fatal cases. We subjoin a list
of those parties injured by the collision who still remain
at Wolverton:—
Mr. Turner, agent to Lord Begot. of Blythfield House,
Staffordshire.
A journeyman baker, named Elewee, in the service of
the proprietor of the Royal Hutt I, Lerveington.
A person named Shannon, resiling at \iancbester, and
A person named Finlin, a native of DuLlin.
These four were the only persons seriously injured,
several who sustained only slight contusions by the shock
having proceeded on their journeys shortly after the me-
lancholy occurrence. What may be the ultimate result
in the four cases it is impossible at present to say, owing
to the degree of inflammation existing about the injured
parts; but, as it has been ascertained that no serious
fractures exist in any case, great hopes are entertained
that all may recover.
It is unnecessary to repeat in detail the manner in
which the collision took place. The report furnished
by Captain Huish details, with all the exactness which
can at present be arrived at, the mode in which one car
riage rose from the rails, and forced itself completely
through the body of that immediately behind it, jam-
mieg together all the passengers so as to deprive seven
of their number of life almost instantaneously, and
severely injure several others. Any attempt further to
describe the collision would also be improper pend-
ing the investigation before the coroner, where evi-
dence of all the facts will be adduced Suffice it that
from all that has been ascertained there cannot be the
slightest doubt the accident has arisen entirely from the
carelessness—whether wilful or otherwise remains to be
proved—of the policeman who had charge of the signal
on the London side of Wolverton. This man, as al-
ready stated, has been given into custody, and it is
further stated 'that he has made such extraordinary ad-
missions since his apprehension as to justify the autho-
rities in entertaing some suspicion of his conduct having
been other than accidental. In brief, it is stated, that
when taken into custody, after having ascertained the
extent of mischief he had caused, he remarked, "
then, I hope I shall be transported, for that is what I
want." Against this admission, in justice to the sus-
pected party, it should be added, that the reporter was
yesterday informed by a constable who described himself
as having been one of the first to see the accused after
the accident, that on his remarking to him on the extent
of the catastrophe, he replied, "I know it well, and if I
had had a knife in my poket you would not have found
me a living man." The absence of all motive in the case
renders it very difficult to suppose that the man's conduct
could have been wilful. The general character given of
him by his superiors is highly favourable to his atten-
tion to duty. He has been stationed at the same signal
post three months, and only on one occasion has any
dereliction of duty been proved against him. This was
about ten days since, when he wrongfully passed an ex-
cursion train on to a siding, under the impression, as he
then stated to the officers, that it was a train of empty
carriages. The result of the investigation which took
place into this circumstance was the infliction of the
nominal fine of one shilling on the man, it being con-
sidered that extenuating circumstances had been proved
by him in his defence. This small fine appears to have
been felt as a disgrace by the man, and it is, perhaps,
not impossible that it may have bad the effect of render-
ing him nervous in the performance of his duty on
Saturday night. However, further speculation on this
subject would be useless pending the inquiry now com-
menced. The circumstances have been considered suffi-
ci:ntly suspicious tel retain the man in custody, and he
has been already 11.nded over by the railway company
to the civil authorities.
Information of the melancholy occurrence having been
forwarded to Mr. Cowley, the coroner for Buckingham-
shire, that gentleman arrived at Wolverton early on
Sunday morning, and after insnectin4 the scene of the
accident made arrangements I'otcommencing an investi-
gation yesterday.
A jury of twenty-five most respectable inhabitants of
the surrounding parishes accordingly met the learned
gentleman yesterday at twelve o'clock, in the workman's
reading-room attaened to the station.
Mr. Brugeres, the superintendent of the railway; Mr.
M'Connell, of the locomotive department; and Mr. Bed-
ford, of( the company's police, were present by arrange-
ment.
Mr. Barnewall, of the firm of Parker and Co., of Lin
coin's Inn, solicitors to the company, also attended to
watch the proceedings; but as it was understood the
inquiry would be carried no further than to identify the
bodies, none of the directors nor the secretary attended.
The Coroner and jury proceeded in the first instance
to view the bodies, which were lying in one of the prin-
cipal apartments of the station, and presented one of
the most deplorable sights which it is possible to ima-
gine. Their bodies were to all appearance scarcely
injured, and, so far as could be observed, not a bone was
fractured ; their blackened faces, however, but too
plainly showed the frightful nature of their death, viz.,
suffocation.
The jury retired as quickly as possible from the per-
formance of their painful duty, and proceeded to view
the locality where the accident occurred. Carriages
intended to represent the two trains had been placed on
the siding, in order to make the manner in which the
accident occurred more clearly intelligible, and every
explanation required was most readily afforded by the
railway officials.

having viewed the bodies, there would be no necessity
for keeping them above ground after they had been re-
spectively owned, and this had been one of his reasons
for calling them together so soon. The time had, how-
ever, been very short since the occurrence of the melan-
