A MOTHER DROWNED WHILST BATHING HER CHIL-
DREN IN THE WHARFE.—A distressing event happened on
Thursday week, and one which excited more painful in-
terest in the town and neighbourhood where it occurred.
than any that has taken place there for some years. On the
evening just named, between six and seven o'clock, Mrs-
Eliza Ackroyd, wife of Mr. William Ackroyd, painter, went
with some others down to the river Whirfe, Otley, at the
bottom of Mr. William Dawson's garden, for the purpose
of bathing her own and some of her neighbours' children.
She and a young woman pulled off their shoes and stock-
ings, and went a short distance into the water, and having
bathed two of Mrs. Parkinson's children, she was attempt-
ing to dip an orphan girl, nine years old, of the name of
Wilson, who was too strong for her, and they both fell
head foremost into the river, which in that part is very
deep. The shrieks of the women and children who were near
arrested the attention of John Wilson, whitesinith, who had
been bathing near there, and he rushed into the water
up to the chin, eagerly attempting to lay hold of Mrs .Ackroyd ;
but, being no swimmer, he wasobliged to give up the attempt
of saving her. However, he fortunately caught the girl:by
the hair of her head, by which means she was rescued from a
watery grave. Mrs. Ackroyd appeared to struggle very
much, and after floating several yards she sunk to the bot-
tom. Mr. William Dawson, hearing of the accident, ran
immediately to the place, and rushed into the river, but find-
ing that his clothes bore him down so as to prevent his
swimming properly, be came out and undressed himself,
and then went -in again, and swam in various direc-
tions, but could not discover her. At last he was directed
to a place, where he saw her, and diving down, he attempted
to raise ber up, but was unable. Two other men then went
in to his assistance, and they all took hold of hands. He
then made another effbrt, and caught hold of her dress,' 'and
the three men pulled her out of the water_ on:to the batik.
Mr. Spence and Mr. Shaw, surgeons, were in attendance.
and bled her, and used ether means to restore animation, but
without effect, for the spark of life- was quite extinct. This
distressing event took place in the presence of her own three
little children.—Leeds Intelligencer.

COLLISION ON THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—OR
Sunday morning last, a collision took place on the Grand
Junction Railway, about four miles beyond Crewe, which
caused great consternation to a very long train of passengers,
and resulted in a great many severe contusions and bruises;
hat no life was lost, and we havo not heard of any fractures.
It seems that the cheap excursion train, which "left Man-
chester for London on Saturday the 30th May, wise returning
to Manchester on Sunday morning last, consisting of 39 first,
second,. and third-class carriages, drawn by one engine. It
was about six o'clock in the morning, the atmosphere very
thick and misty, when the train came suddenly upon four
or five stationary goods-trucks, some empty and some loaded,
and by the collision with these trucks, the passengers were
thrown violently against each other, or against the inside of
the carriages; many receiving severe bruises on the head,
face, shoulders, &c., and a number suffered from black eyes.
One lady received a severe cut across the forehead. 'and was
in a state of insensibility for some time. ThiS accident caused
a detention of about an hour and a quarter, and then the
train brought all the passengers forward to Manchester, the
carriages not being much injured. As to the cause of the
collision, it seems a goods' train from Birmingham, which
had preceded the excursion train some time, had, by some
accident, lost or left a part of its trucks on the line. The
stoker of. that train states that the waggons must have
become accidentally detached

He did not discover the loss
dis-
tance on his journey, and he then ran back in order to make

cor-
rect, it does not exculpate the parties having charge of the
goods' train, as it proves that it was running without the
necessary side chains being used to connect the trucks that
were found detached with each other and with other trucks
in the train.

or some wine, and the other
officer having lett him, he told them to come up to his room
and he would give them
some. Whilst they were there he
told them there was some ale in which he in-
vited them to partake ef', the cupboard,
the
corkscrew them they. would find the
corkscrew in the sideboard, where the plate was kept.
After they had partaken of strawberries, ale, and wine, they
left his quarters; he had never spoken to them before. The
next morning his servant, Alexander Laing, told him that
a tablespoon and a desert fork were missing from the
drawer in the sideboard to which the prisoners had been.
Laing identified the prisoners as the parties who were
in. his master's quartersp e
the night in question, and for
whom he provided wine-glasses. On Wenesday morning
the_prisoners went totli eshop. of Mr. Stigant, a pawnbroker,
in Chatham, to whom Sears presented a t bl • a e-spoon, and
asked him if be would lend her ss. on it, saying it was her
own, and that she was a housekeeper, living on the Brook.
Having given her a duplicate, they left the shop. She
pawned it in her own name. The next morning the prisoner
Sears offered the fork to Mr. Weekes, pawnbroker, for 4a.
In this instance, however, she was not quite eo fortunate;
foi he, having been apprised of the questioned
robbery,
her as to whom it belonged ; she replied,
of no consequence to him ; she then said it was
given to her by a young woman at Brompton. Howes,
the constable, was sent for, and she was then taken
into custody, when sbe said it was taken from an officer's
quarters in a " spree," and that the officer knew of it. Sears
was first taken into custody, and said that her cousin had
taken the property, and that Howes would most likely. find
her at Captain Parker's quarters in Chatham Barricks. She
afterwards expressed a wish to be taken'to Captain 'Burn's
quarters, saying it would be all right. The prisoners
throughout the investigation evinced a feeling of great in-
difference, but on being told -by .the Chair Man that they
were committed to take their trial at the next . Quarter Ses-
sions at Maidstone, they burst into tears, and Partis fell back
in a chair in a fainting fit, in which state she irt.g removed
from the dock.

A WELL-STOCKED LA.RDEIL—Mr. Thomas Pearson.,

Witeerslack, a bustard hawk, or, as it is locally termed, a buzzard.
In the nest of the voracious bird were found three rabbits, one hare.
one pheasant, three !nice, one rat, two hag worms, and a blackbird.
Both worms had their heads off.—Kendal Mercury.
