OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON
RAILWAY COMPANY. - Circumstances hays recently
occurred which strongly confirm a previously-existing
suspicion that it is the intention of the Great Western
directors (when circumstances favour the "move ") to
get rid, if they can, of their obligations in respect of the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton lease.—Railway
Record.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE RICHMOND RAlL-
WAY.—Yesterday morning as 6.40 A.M. goods train from
Nine Elms was nearing the Barnes station, on the Rich-
mond line, the engine driver perceived what he at first
conceived to be a stuffed figure to represent a man lean-
ing against the wooden fencing of the line. Upon
going to the spot it was found to be a human being,
surrounded by a pool of blood, and not only dead but
partly frozen. The blood was easily traced in a direct
line to the up rail, where it was evident the accident
had happened ; but that the unfortunate victim should,
after its occurrence, have crawled to the spot upon which
he was found would have been considered impossible
were it not that the grass and weeds which he had con-
vulsively grasped and torn up in his progress proved the
fact. The deceased, who was a man of upwards of fifty
years of age, had had his left foot all but severed—
a tendon only united it to the leg. Extraordinary as
it may appear, it is supposed that the deceased, who had.
his open pocket knife firmly grasped in his right hand,
and had cut away his leather gaiter, intended the entire
severance of the limb, when Must have sunk from
exhaustion, and died from losseirtklood. Ile was sub-
sequently ascertained to be John Sharp, a hawker of
crockerywaro, and living 'in the Hammersmith- brid ge-
road. He left Richmond by the seven o'clock up-train
on the previous evening, and should have got out at the
Barnes station. He had probably, however, fallen asleep,
and waking up after the train had got in motion, rashly
alighted. The carriage had probably no other passenger
save the deceased, as no person had made any statement
of a person leaving the train in such a manner. It being
the last train at night, the deceased was not discovered
till the passing of the goods train to Datchet on the fol-
lowing morning. The body was removed to the nearest
public-house to await an inquest.
THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE MONUMENT TO LORD
GEORGE BENTINCR.—The subscriptions already received
for the purpose of erecting a monument to perpetuate
the memory of the Noble Lord amount to upwards of
1,0001.
ESCAPE OF GAs.—On Thursday an accident of a
singular character occurred at the corner of the York-
road, in the Waterloo-road. Two men were engaged
making some alterations in the gas-pipes in the road, ,
and during their operations fractured the main service
pipe: in an instant the gas rushed ont in such a body
that the men were thrown down, the noxious vapour .
entering their stomachs and depriving them of their
senses. In this condition they lay until the smell of the
escaping gas drew the attention of the passers-by to the
spot, when the men were pulled out, both of them ap-
pearing dead, and removed to the York Hotel, where
every attention was paid to them. Several medical
gentlemen promptly attended, and owing to their unre-
mitting exertions one of the men rallied sufficiently as
to be able to walk homer but the other was obliged to be
removed on a stretcher to .the hospital.
CAUTION TO QUACRS.—Alatthew Symes, baker and
beer-housekeeper, of Burstock, Dorset, has just been
committed to Dorchester gaol to await his trial at the
assizes for the offence of manslaughter. Symes had
inoculated two of the children of John Mare, a dairyman,
though repeatedly admonished that he was acting ille.
gaily in inoculating children, which he appears to have
been in the habit of doing. Both the children died, and
it was proved on the inquest by a medical man that they
had died from small-pox, received through inoculation
and not naturally. The coroner, Mr. Cory, called the
attention of the jury to the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 99,
which makes inoculation illegal, and a jury of eighteen
respectable persons returned a verdict of "Manslaughter"
against Symes.
RECKLESS DRlVlNG.—Yesterday an inquest was
held at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of Thomas
Dulling, aged 84, who died from the injuries he sus-
tained from being knocked down upon London-bridge,
and run over by a cab, the driver of which made his
escape. The inquiry was adjourned, in order to affuld
time to the police to discover, if possible, the culprit.
