FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY.
—Shortly after six o'clock on Tuesday morning a
frightful accident occurred at the Red Posts Works on
the above line, two miles from Andover, by whioh one
man lost his life. A number of men are employed in
cutting through a hill at this part of the line. The de-
eoased, whose name is Rogers, was driver of the team
waggons, and, whilst driving a horse drawing a waggon
filled with chalk, stumbled and fell against the rails, the
waggon passing over him and n.utilating him in a
frightful manner. Deceased was removed to the Black
Horse, Abbotsham, where an inquest was held before
Mr. Todd, and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned.
FIRE AT SIIALBOURNE.—Wednesday night last the
inhabitants of Newbury were much alarmed by the ap-
pearance of a fire which turned out to be at Shalbourne,
on the farm of Mr. Phillips, whose farm and buildings,
consisting of three barns, two of them full of corn, two
wheat ricks, four hay ricks, and all his farming imple-
ments in and about the barns and premises were de-
stroyed. It appeared that the fire originated in one of
the ricks, which was fired on the side next to the wind.
The act is no doubt that of an incendiary, and we under-
stand strong suspicion attaches to a person who, of all
others, should be the last to be guilty of its—Berkshire
Chronicle.
ATTEMPT TO POISON A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—
At midnight, on Monday, a female, named Eliza Mar-
shall, aged twenty-six years, was brought to Guy's Ilos-
pital
by several of the police of the L division, alleged
to have been poisoned by her husband, under very
shocking circumstances. It appears that the unfortunate
woman and her husband were drinking at an ale-house
in the Waterloo-road ; they had partaken of some ale,
and after a short time they commenced quarrelling,
when the husband, it is alleged, put some deleterious
fluid into a glass, which the female drunk off. She was
soon afterwards taken ill and was carried to a surgeon's
close by, who suggested her removal to the hospital,
where she was placed under the care of Mr. Bake, the
house-surgeon, who thought it necessary to use the
stomach-pump, after which she was placed in bed and
seemed to be progressing favourably. The man is in
custody, and has already undergone an examination at
Lambeth Police Court, and stands remanded to await an
analysis of the contents of the glass, which is in the
hands of the police.
A MAN CRUSHED TO DEATH.—Yesterday, Mr.
W. Carter held an inquest at the Prince 'William Henry,
Bermondsey-street, on the body of Isaac Galloway, aged
forty years, who lost his life under the following awful
circumstances :—The deceased was a labourer employed
on the premises of Messrs. Eason and Co., proprietors
of the bark mills, Grange road, Bermondsey. Yester-
day afternoon, about two o'clock, the deceased was
greasing the cog-wheels, when, by some accident his
right arm was drawn in between them. He shouted for
help, but before any one could reach him he was crushed
between the two wheels. The machine was stopped, but
his body was so entangled and mutilated that the engi-
neer had to unfasten the wheels before the deceased
could be released, which tcok a quarter of an hour, but
life was then quite extinct. The coroner and jury having
deprecated the practice of greasing the cog-wheels whilst
they were in motion, returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death."
SINGULAR DEATH.— A labourer named Storer Gibb,
aged 53, came to his death in the following extra-
ordinary manner, at East Grinstead. He had been
drinking on the 28th ult., and for two or three days
previously; he left the White Lion late on Saturday
night, and reached his cottage, distant about half a mile,
at about midnight. From the position in which he was
discovered on Sunday morning, it appears he had
endeavoured to find the gate, which opened into a little
court in front of his cottage, but without success; by
some means his head dropped over the palings, and
became fixed between two upright pieces, and from this
situation he was unable to extricate himself; he was
found early the following morning quite dead. An
inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, when a I
verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.—Sussex
Advertiser.
MEXICAN ROBBERS.—These light-fingered gents
are as polite and suave as bold and reckless in their
operations. A case occurred in illustration at the
National Bridge, the day before we passed that point, on
our way from Vera Cruz to the capital In the dili-
gence from Jalapa was a Mexican lady who had secreted
upon her person Jewels worth 20,000 dollars, and, as she
supposed, no other person, not even her confidential
servant, knew of it. As the diligence halted on the
bridge, a cavalier-looking horseman rode up to the
window and inquired if such a lady was within. Being
answered in the affirmative, he requested a moment's
conversation with her. She descended from the dili-
gence, and he from his horse, and taking her to a shrub-
bery some rods distant, he politely informed her that his
business was simply to relieve her of her jewels.
" Jewels!" exclaimed the senorita, "I have no jewels."
" 0," said the robber, " I have no time to waste in
words ; your jewels are secreted on your person, and if
you will not help me to them I shall be obliged to help
myself, only I don't like to be rude with a lady." See-
ing that all was hopeless, but wondering, no doubt, how
he learned her secret, she gave up the jewels. " Now,"
said the robber, I must gallant you to the diligence."
The lady remonstrated, preferring to go alone, but this
her bandit friend would not allow; he said it would look
scandalous, and perhaps sccasion talk; so, conducting
her to her seat, he mounted his horse, tipped his sombrero
to the astonished senorita, and gaily rode off in quest of
more plunder.—American Sun.
ACCIDENT TO ONE OF TIIE LANCASHIRE AND YORK-
SHIRE TRAINS.—An alarming accident, fortunately un-
attended with fatal results, occurred on the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Railway, on Monday morning last. The
Sowerby Bridge passenger train, which reached the
Normanton Station shortly after seven o'clock in the
morning, passed safely on by the Woodlesford Station
to Oulton-bridge, where the engine ran off the lines,
just at the point where the company is relaying the road.
The engine, which forced its way right across the lines
into the opposite low cutting, was much strained, and
some of the carriages were slightly damaged, but no
personal injury was sustained by either passengers or
servants. The up and down trains from Leeds and
York, and the Manchester express train, were delayed
an hour or more before the line was &wand. The cheap
excursion train to London, of 43 carriages, with nearly
GOO passengers, was detained at least an hour and a half.
The engineer, in accordance with the instructions of the
company, ?i. re the road is being relaid, was proceeding
at a very slow rate, or otherwise the loss of life must
have been great.—Manchester Guardian.
Sir John Jervis, her Majesty's Attorney-General,
Lady Jervis, and family ; Lady Disbrowe and suite ;
Count Schiminelpenninck, the Netherlands ambassador,
and son ; Captain Harvey-, R.N. ; and Baron Dretfurt
were among the passengers who embarked at Blackwall

gation Company's mail steam ship Rainbow, for Rot-

MAGAZINES-(CONTINUED.)

DOUGLAS JERROLD'S MAGAZINE.
The September number of Douglas Jerrold is
scarcely equal to its predecessors. " The Dreamer
and the 'Worker" is continued, but is somewhat
heavy ; and Paul Bell, in his dissertation on
" Found and Penny Bribery," is positively
dull. The article which follows, however, on
" Democracy in 1847," is excellent. The argu-
ment in favour of the repeal of the laws of pri-
mogeniture and entail is unanswerable. The exclu-
sive policy which is at once the cause and the effect
of these laws, which concentrate property into a few
hands—
" Gives to a nation the appearance of splendour and
prosperity without the solid foundation of either opu-
lence or internal peace—it is the policy of a slovenly
mother who washes her child's face and hands and leaves
the brat's body uncleaned. Indisputable facts demon-
strate most clearly that the concentration of wealth has
changed the relative strength of the different elements of
power, leaving the grand body of the people without any
other defence than the inevitable influence of a free
internal spirit. In 1815 the properties of 250,000 families
had, within the space of forty years, been concentrated
in the hands of 32,000 proprietors ; and so 218,000
families had in the above space of time lost their influ-
ence in the conduct of the State. This was aristocratic
policy worthy of its pro genitors—it was endured silently.
" The land of France belongs to fifteen or twenty
millions of peasants who cultivate it ; the soil of England
is the exclusive property of thirty-two thousand aristo-
crats who hire men to cultivate it."
But happier days are dawning for England :
" The aristocracy of this country have long made a
good harvest : they have wrung the honey from the
vast hive, leaving little fur the working bees ; but the
bees arc now wide awake, and the drones must beware.
There is a spirit abroad that will not be hushed : it cries
for justice to all classes ; it demands universal suffrage ;
it demands a tax on property ; it will no longer consent
to bear the burden of the State alone ; it will have reli-
gious liberty.
" Soon a new Parliament will be assembled—a Parlia-
ment, chosen, it is said, by the people of England. How
many of these picked men owe their seats to their
monetary influence or to aristocratic birth, we will not
here determine ; but this we know, democracy is abroad.
it is the active principle acknowledged throughout Eng-
land ; it is making giant progress in France ; it is vital
in the spirit of Germany ; in Italy the Pope acknow-
ledges the sovereignty of the people. There is an un-
conquerable demand for radical reform ; the people
have, in a measure, educated themselves; tey now fully
understand their position; they know right from wrong,
and they will have right ;—in short, you should con
this attentively, new Members of Parliament the
people of England will not be contented if you
only cure their warts : you must root out the
ulcers. There is a mighty spirit at work through-
out the land, that calls for the destruction of the
ulcers which disfigure the British constitution : give
heed unto the just askings of this giant spirit, for it has
right on its side and it will not be hushed."
The interesting narrative of the escape of young
Watson is continued, and in the present number we
have the history of his concealment at the house of
Mr. Holl, at Camden-town (to whom be all honour
for his humanity) during the earlier months of the
year 1817. The " Philosophy of Facts" might al-
most be entitled a dissertation on the mystic powers
of the number 3, intended as it is to illustrate " the
law of the succession of ternary rovolutions,
whether of worlds or of men, whether of prin-
ciples or of facts." We do not agree
with the writer in his conclusions, but " his cases in
point" are curious and interesting. There are some
other papers in the present number of average merit ;
but, alas ! we have no Juniper Hedgehog, neither
are their any signs of the novel, by the editor, which
was promised at the conclusion of the last volume.

THE BELLE ASSEMBLER
To a correspondent of Miss Camilla Toulmin, the
editress, we are indebted for a most interesting paper,
being " A French Estimate of Alfred Tennyson.'
It is pleasant to know the opinion entertained by our
neighbours of the first of our young poets—the most
popular of all the poets of the present age; but it is
particularly pleasant to learn that opinion from the
intelligent criticism of M. E. D. Forgues, in "La
llevve des Deux Mantles." Against the pert allusions
which marred the first edition of the " New Timon"
we may put the very significant sentence of the
French reviewer. " The charm," he says, "which is
owned by a whole generation, can do very
well without our homage." We cannot afford
space fur quotations from the criticisms of
M. Forgues, but must present to our readers two
specimens of his prose translations from the verse of
Alfred Tennyson. The first we transcribe is the
apostrophe to Lilian.
" Oh ! pleure, je t'en supplie, Lilian foldtre, Lilian de
mai. La gaiite sans eclipse est pour moi une fatigue. II
' arrive jusqu' <t mon caur, et le traverse come un stylet
aiqu, le rile au faussa argentin qui vibre entres les levres
minces et vermeilles. Lilian de 7nai, pleure, je t'en prie."
how all the bloom has been brushed off in the act
of translation ! It is like the apple passing through
the cider press—mere pulp and juice; not the ripe,
rosy fruit it was before. What an abortive piece
of literalness, that " et le traverse mime un stylet
dgit," instead of " through my very heart it thril-
leth !" And, then, how bald and inane is "le rire au
vausset argentin qui vibre entre les levres minces et
fermeilles'
" When from crimson-threaded lips
Silver-treble laughter trilleth
Take again this verson of a stanza from Mariana
jour durant, dans cate maison hantee par les
roves, les porter cragnaient sur leurs gouds. La mouche
bleue hourdoi.nait contre lea vitres ; le snarls criait derriere
les lambris a demi ronges' appliquant rt leers fentes son
(fit curieux. Des figures d'autrefois se laissient entrevoir
derriere les portt s entre' ouvertes, des pas d'autrefois fat-
saient craggier les paliers, des voix d'autrefois l'appelaient
au dehors. Le via Iheur est sur ma vie ! disait- elle toujours.
11 ne vient pas! disait-elle. Elle dissaiti aussi: Je suit
lasse, hien lasse, et voudrais etre morte."
Now read the original :
" All day within the dreamy house,
The doors upon their hinges creaked,
The blue-fly sung i' the pane; the mouse
Behind the mouldering wainscot shrieked,
Or from the crevice peered about.
Old faces glimmered through the doors,
Old footsteps trod the upper floors,
Old voices called her from without.
She only said, My life is dreary,
Ile cometh not,' she said;
She said, ' I am a-weary, a-weary,
I would that I were dead l'
What a difference ! It is the Venus de Medicis by
the side of a skeleton. Besides this article, there are
other things in the Belle Assemblie very readable.

HOW ITT'S JOUBNAL.
A likeness of Mademoiselle Rachel is the most
agreeable illustration in this number, and a memoir
of Henry Clarke Wright the most agreeable contri-
bution. With all deference, however, to Mrs. Howitt,
we conceive the latter to be of an unconscionable
length.

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE.
Kenny Meadows has a droll cut, which he has
christened "My Mistress's Bonnet." Both the
" Maiden Aunt" and " Frank Fairleigh" are con-
tinued.

THE LAND WE LIVE IN.
Mr. Knight selects the materials for this admirable
serial with the most judicious discrimination. Strat
ford•upon-Avon, for example, is happily timed as an
illustrated essay upon the birthplace of Shakspere.
Portsmouth, Manchester, and the Wye, are the three
other subjects, showing the beauties of English
scenery, the enterprise of English manufacturers, and
the seats of the maritime strength of Great Britain.
