LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE

EUSTON STATION. _ ---
Yesterday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, Mr.
George J. Mills, Deputy Coroner for the western
parts of the county of Middlesex, instituted an in-
quiry at the University Hospital, touching the death
of John Shea, aged 47 years, labourer, who was
buried in the ruins caused by the fall of a wall at the
new works, Euston-square terminus of the London
and North-Western Railway.
The investigation took place in the commodious
board-room at the institution, Gower-street, Totten-
ham-court-road.

The jury having been empanelled,
Mrs. Charlotte Glass, principal nurse in the No. 1
ward, where the ideceased was taken upon being
carried into tke hospital, deposed that on Friday last,
about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, de-
ceased was admitted into the hospital. He died the
following morning.
Mr. Birk, the house surgeon on duty in the after-
noon of Thursday last, deposed to the injuries deceased
had received. They were very numerous, extraor-
dinarily severe, and undoubtedly caused death.
There never was any hope of his recovery after the
accident.

At this stage of the proceedings the jury proceeded
to view the body, which lay in the dissecting-room
of the establishment. The head presented a frightful
spectacle.

Upon the return of the jury to the Board-room,
John Hickman, a bricklayer, was called. Being
sworn, he stated that he was at work at the time of
the accident, upon a scaffold several feet from the
ground. He was just about laying the top row
upon a wall intended for the grand public vestibule
to the Euston station, when he suddenly observed
the wall to bulge in the centre, he sprung from the
scaffolding and escaped with a few bruises. He did
not see the deceased until he was dug out of the ruins
with others. He believed the whole of the work to
be sound and firm, both as it regarded the quality of
the materials and the excellence of the construction
of the whole work.

By the CORONER—How, then, do you account for
the accident ?—I am not able to account for it.
Edward Stanton, labourer, was next called—(This
poor fellow has suffered severely. He was wrapped
in a large flannel gown, provided by the hospital
authorities. He appears to have been much injured,
and evidently still suffers acutely.) He was with
Shea and others when the wall fell, and buried de-
ceased and himself, with several lads, in the ruins. He
knew nothing of the cause of the accident.
James Stephenson, foreman to the bricklayers at
the new works, Euston-square, being sworn, stated
that he had been in the employ of Mr. Cubit for 28
years. The work at the new building, which was in-
tended for a vestibule or public waiting-room, on a
very large scale, was of the best character, and the
proportions were very carefully adjusted. The bricks
were best " picked stock," and the cement and mortar
used was of the very best character. The pedestals
upon which the columns rested were commenced
upon the 21st of October last and finished upon the
30th. On the 10th of November the columns were
began, and on the 22d they were raised sufficiently
to receive the foundations of the superincumbent
arches. The pillars were about eighteen or twenty
inches apart.

.
CORONER—When were the arches begun ?—On the
11th of December last.

Why was not a solid wall raised instead of these
pillars of which you speak ?—I cannot say.
What was the thickness of the walls above the top
of the pillars—l mean those forming the basis and
crown of the arches ?—Five feet four inches at the
bottom, three feet in the middle, and two feet eight
inches at the top.
What do you give your men as wages? We get
the best men we can procure, and give them 6s. 6d.
per day, and we have the best kind of work put into
all our buildings.
Have you seen the ruins ? I have minutely
examined them; the walls appear rather "mashed,"
but the bricks are not crushed or broken.

Can you, from what you have seen, give any reason
for the accident ? I cannot, Sir, in the least.
Were you there when the occurrence took place ?
Not at the exact moment; I was there about a minute
before.

According to any opinion you may have formed,
whereabouts do you think the wall gave way ? I
cannot, of course, say positively, but I should think
it gave way about the centre ; why it should do so I
cannot tell.

Stanton, the injured man previously named, was
here recalled.

By the DaruTY CORONER—Do you wish to put
any question to Mr. Stephenson ? Ido not, sir.
Mr. John Butterwick, general foreman of the
works, being sworn, stated that it was his duty to
see that all the materials used were of the very best
quality, and that the workmanship was justly and
properly performed. lie believed that the whole of
the brick work and masonry in all the new erections
at the Euston• square station of the London and
North-western railway were of the most substantial
character. The best men were employed, the best
bricks were used, the best kind of cement was mixed
for the purpose of strengthening the work, and the
best wages were paid to all the workmen.

COROrVER —What then could have occasioned the
accident ?—I cannot tell.

Did you see any danger ?—No, I did not ; nor did
I apprehend any. The work went on very slowly.
What was the diameter of the columns ?—They
were two feet four inches in diameter, and twenty
feet high.
Some other evidence of a practical nature having
been taken,
The DEPUTY CORONER said that Mr. Cubitt had
expressed his willingness to be examined. If the
jury felt satisfied they might return a verdict to the
effect that they had no evidence as to the cause of the
accident, but if they desired to have the opinion of
any impartial scientific men, he was quite ready to
adjourn for that purpose..
The evidence of one or two witnesses, as to the
perfect stability of the scaffolding, having been taken,
The jury consulted together, and in a few moments
found " That John Shea died from injuries i❑ the
chest, caused by being crushed by the tall of a wall
and other parts of a building, at the station of the
London and North-Western Railway, but how the
said wall fell there is not sufficient evidence to prove."
The deceased has left a wife and six young chil-
dren. He was a steady man and an excellent hus-
band, and his wife is a most worthy object of public
sympathy.

THE HAMPDEN CONTROVERSY.

The following address, connected with the move-
ment respecting Dr. Hampden, has been presented to
the Archbishop of Dublin, to which his Grace re-
turned the subjoined reply :
" TO HIS GRACE, RICHARD, LORD ARCHBISHOP OF
DUBLIN, &C.

" My Lord,—The strong expression of feeling to
which a portion of the Church in England has given
utterance, respecting the elevation of the Rev. Dr.
Hampden to the see of Hereford, is calculated to
produce considerable anxiety in the minds of per-
sons not fully acquainted with the circumstances of
the case.

" As members of the Church, we cannot but feel
deeply interested in a manifestation so decided in its
character, and so unusual, at least in our times.
Being aware, therefore, that your Grace's former
connexion with the University of Oxford has afforded
you ample opportunity of being fully acquainted with
the sentiments of Dr. Hampden, and with the cir-
cumstances of the question generally, we respectfully i
beg leave to request (both for our own sakes and for
the sake of the laity of our several parishes) that you
will be so good as to favour us with your views on the
various bearings of this important question.
" CHARLES STRONG,
" Archdeacon of Glendalagh."
(Here follow the signatures of the clergy.)

" Palace, Jan. 5, 1848.
"Dear Mr. Archdeacon,—Under any ordinar
circumstances,tances, I am convinced that neither you, nor
the rest of the clergy who have signed the application
to me, would have thought, of making any inquiries
of me respecting the appointment of any one to a
bishopric, or to any other situation in the patronage
of the Crown.

;‘ But I cannot wonder at your doing so in the
present instance, for the occasion is no ordinary one.
he commotion connected with Dr. Hampden 's ap-
pointment is of a nature to affect very materially the
credit, the peace, and the'safety of the IJaited Church,
and the cause of the Christian religion altogether. I
shall be ready, therefore, to give you such informa-
tion as I am able on all points connected with the
present most extrraordinary and important move-
ment, and to offer such remarks thereon as may tend
to dispel the misapprehensions that are afloat.
" As it is probable that besides those of the clergy
whose signatures are before me, several others also
would have affixed their names to the application had
they known of it, I will in a few days lay before the
clergy generally of all my dioceses such a statement
and observations as the occasion seems to call for. "
I remain, dear Mr. Archdeacon, yours very faith ,
fully, " RICHARD DUBLIN.

RAND SPREADING or INFLUENZA.— Between the
years 1830 and 1834 the influenza twice traversed
Europe. This epidemic attracted the notice of medical
writers more than the eholers, both on account of its
speedy recurrence and because the cholera, which had
diverted their attention from the previous epidemic, had
then ceased. The chief difference between the two
epidemics consisted in the greater intensity of the disease
of 1830-32 compared with the greater extent of its suc-
cessor in 1833-34. There was but a few days' interval
between the appearance of the latter in St. retersburgb,
wow, Odme, lad rail.

IRELAND.
ROWS OF THE REPEALERS.

DUBLIN, JAN. B.—The Young Irelanders are now
at loggerheads. The war editor has retired from the
Nation citadel, and taken to the open country. The
commander-in-chief, deeming his lieutenant's plan of
operations against the Saxon enemy rather dangerous,
adopted certain measures which show that he is not
unmindful of the adage—that discretion is the better
part of valour. The following dispatch from the
retired warrior appears in the:A atzon of this morning,
it is addressed to the chief of the Young Ireland
brigade :

" 8, Ontario-terrace, Rathmines, Jan. 7, 1848.
" Dear Duffy,—lf the public has any curiosity (of
which I have seen no symptom) to know why I re-
nounced connexion with the Nation—or if you
desire on your own account that a statement of my
reasons and motives should appear—l will make
that statement shortly, and you can do as you please
with it.

" Our differences of opinion, as you well know,
are not a matter of yesterday. For some months
past I have found myself precluded from speaking to
the public through the Nation, with that full freedom
and boldness which I had formerly used, by
objections and remonstrances from you, to the effect,
that what I wrote was seditious,' or
This kind of restriction, slight and casual at
first, became gradually more constant and annoying;
and that, while the times demanded, in my opinion,
more and more unmitigated plain-speaking as to tho
actual relation of Ireland towards the English Go-
vernment, and the real designs of that Government
against the properties and lives of Irishmen.
"The failure of the Irish Council,' the hurried
calling together of the English Parliament, the Bill
for disarming the Irish people, and the horrid delight
with which that Bill was hailed by the landlords of
this country—these things rapidly brought our dif-
ferences to an issue. The effect wrought upon me
by all the events I saw passing was a thorough con-
viction that Irish landlords had finally taken their aide
against their own people, and for the foreign enemy
—that all the symptoms of landlord nationality
which had deluded us into the 'lrish Council,' and
had kept us so long vainly wooing the aristocracy
into the ranks of their countrymen, were a deliberate
fraud—were, in fact, a demonstration intended to act
upon the English ; and that the Disarming Bill was
the first fruit of a new and more strict alliance be-
tween traitors at home and foes abroad.
" I desired to say all this to the people plainly. I
desired to point out to them that this infamous Bill,
falsely entitled for the prevention of crime,' was
merely an engine to crush tenant-right, and all
other popular right, and to enable the landlords to
eject, distrain, and exterminate in peace and security.
I desired to preach to them, that every farmer in
Ireland has a right to his land in perpetuity (let' law'
say as it will) :—" that no landlord who denies that
right ought to receive any rent—that tenant-right,
however, though the universal right of all Irish
farmers, never had been, and never would be
recognised or secured by English law—that there
was and will be no other way of establishing and se-
curing that right except, as in Ulster, by successful in-
timidation, that is to say, by the determined public
opinion of armed men, that, therefore, the power calling
itself a Government' which called on the people of
Ireland to deliver up their arms, under any pretext,
must be the mortal enemy of that people, their rights,
their liberties, and their lives. I desired to warn my
countrymen accordingly, that if they should carry
their guns to the police-stations when ordered by Lord
Clarendon, they would be putting weapons into the
hands of their deadly foes, and committing virtual
suicide. I desired to preach to them that the coun-
try is actually in a state of war—a war of property'
against poverty—a war of ' law' against life ; and
that their safety lay, not in trusting to any laws or
legislation of the enemies' Parliament, but solely in
their determination to stand upon their own individual
rights, defend those to the last, and sell their lives and
lands as dear as they could.
" I desired also to show them that the new poor-
law, enacted under pretence of relieving the destitute,
was really intended and is calculated to increase and
thede farmersepenthepas wellr as theaupe eancdoluonrdtrsyb—ytodebgreraekesd, down
uproot them gradually from the soil, so as to make
ism of
f the
the lands of Ireland pass, unencumbered by excessive
population, into the hands of English capitalists, and
under the more absolute sway of English government.
In short, I wished to make them recognise in the poor-
law what it really is—an elaborate machinery for
making final conquest of Ireland by law.' I there-
fore urged from the first, that this law ought to be
resisted and defeated; that guardians ought not to act
under it, but in defiance of it; that ratepayers ought
to offer steady and deliberate passive resistance to it;
and that every district ought to organize some volun-
tary mode of relieving its own poor; and for this
purpose, as well as to stop the fatal traffic with
England, that the people should determine to suffer
no grnin or cattle to leave the country.
" With reference to the future direction which
should be given to the energies of the country and
of the Irish Confederation, I desired in the first
place, once for all, to turn men's minds away from
the English Parliament and from Parliamentary and
constitutional agitation of all kinds. I have made up
my mind that inasmuch as the mass of the people
have no franchises, and are not likely to get any, and
inasmuch as the constituencies being very small,
very poor, and growing smaller and poorer continu-
ally, are so easily gained over by corruption and
bribery, and inasmuch as any combination of the
gentry' with the people is now and henceforth im-
possible—that for all these reasons any organization
for parliamentary or constitutional action would
be merely throwing away time and strength, and
ensuring our own perpetual defeat. Therefore I de-
sired that the Nation and the Confederation should
rather employ themselves in promulgating sound in-
struction upon military affairs—upon the natural lines
of defence which make the island so strong, and the
method of making those avaLable— upon the construc-
tion and defence of field works, and especially upon
the use of proper arms—not with a view to any
immediate insurrection, but in order that the stupid
'legal and constitutional' shouting, voting, and agi-
tating that have made our country an abomination to
the whole earth, should be changed into a deliberate
study of the theory and practice of guerilla warfare;
and that the true and only method of regenerating
Ireland might in course of time recommend itself
to a nation so long abused and deluded legal'
humbug.

" These are my doctrines, and these were what I
wished to enforce in the Nation. I knew that it would
be illegal' to do so ; I knew that it would subject
modified

between
us
you, as proprietor of that paper, to prosecutions for
sedition,' &c. I knew, besides, that your own views
did not at all agree with mine ; and I could not as-
suredly expect you to incur legal risks for the sake of
promulgating another man's opinions. Therefore,

the Coercion Bill--that no one journal could possibly

difficulty,
more than two years.
I have not entered into any details of the difficul-
ties and disagreements that preceded this final step
but I cannot avoid mentioning the circumstance that;
during the very last week of my connexion with the
Nation you felt it necessary to suppress a portion of a
speech delivered by me in the Irish Confederation,
which you considered seditious and impolitic. I do
not impugn your motives for this, but if there had
been no other reason urging me to the course I have
taken, this alone would have been enough to make
me resolve on never writing another line in the
Nation. lam bound to add that I did not discover
the fact of this suppression until the next morning,
after I had finally closed my connexion with the
Nation; so that it did not actually influence me,
though it fully justified me in what I have done.
" In this letter you will observe that I have not
attempted to describe or characterise your opinions.
I leave that to yourself. You have the Nation at
your command, and have had five opportunities of
expounding your own policy since I had one. It is
enough to say that the present policy of the Nation
does not suit me. If you publish this letter, I hope
there will be no possibility of any future misrepre-
sentations and vague rumours about the causes of our
differences, such as you say are now current.
" I remain, faithfully yours,
joHN MITCHEL.

THE LATE ACCIDENT TO LADY ZETLAND.—We
are happy to learn that Lady Zetland has nearly reco-
vered the effect of her fright on the railway, and that
her maid is also in a fair way of recovery, and that,
instead of her hands having been cut off by the engine,
she has only lost two fingers, that were amputated. It
is now fully admitted that, had her ladyship and her at-
tendant remained in the carriage, no accident would have
occurred. Still we think that the melancholy occur-
rence should induce the managers of railways to adopt
some method to prevent fire escaping from the engine
to the carriages, and also to devise a mode of com-
munication between guards tad payeragers. York

i%IARKET INTELLIGENCE.

From the 'London New Price Current ut Jan. 11.)
Sucisa—To-day a decline in value took place for brown
and the lower sorts of grey and yellow, the better kinds,
however, sustained the former value. On the part of
exporters little desire was shown to operate, but the low
rates current induced the home trode to make pur-
r chases on a large scale. West India Muscovado was
in excellent request for grocery and refining
purposes, the sales privately amounting to 800 hbds, &c.,
and full rates were obtained, excepting for brown and
inferior sorts which declined 6d per cwt. At auction
104 hhds 2 trs of Barbadoes sold at rather low rates for
fine, other sorts, however, fetched full prices.
HEFINED.—To-day no variation took place in the
value of refined goods, but the home demand was not so
good, whilst the refiners were inclined to sell for forward
delivery. The tet.dency of pikes is evidently down-
wards. The market is quiet for bonded crushed Sugar,
but tull rates are insisted upon.
MAr RITIVS.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius, but privately some parcels were sold at
the former vslite, but nut above.
EAST IN lA.—This afternoon there was no public
'ale, several parcels were taken private') , still better
prices could not be obtained.
FOREION.—This afternoon at public sale 662 hhds 10
half tierce s of Cuba Muscovado, duty paid, were nearly
all taken in at 40s tor fir', and at 37s for low yellow,
the small part that sold fetched the former rates, good
yellow 39s Gd, mid 38s to 38s 6d, and low 37s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Plantation
Ceylon off red at public sale amounted to 96 casks,
550 bags, the whole sold—middling and good sorts
fetched stiff- r rates, but the lower kinds went ls. per
mot. cheaper ; good realised 58s to 58s 6d, middling

value, whilst Hyson sold Id, Gunpowder 3d, and Impe-
rial Id per lb above former rates--Congou, fair common

7-id; llyson, fair is 41 to is sd; Imperial, good and
tine Is 3d so is 9P; and Gunpowder, good 2s 3d to
2s Ild p r lb.
RICE.—To-day East India was in good demand pri-
vately, and former rates were well sustained. At public
sale 400 packets of Bengal were sold at 10. 6d to 113 for
low broken dusty white, and 8s 6d to 93 6ti fur sea
damaged. Of African Arrowroot Is tacks fetched 3id.
Motissze.—To•dey there is little passing in Wait

India privately, and the rates taken were rather under
thore that existed previously. At public sale 29 puns of
St. Lucia went at 16s for ordinary.
CocoA.—British plantation is more required,but holders
insisting upon an advance on previous rates of Is to 2s
per cwt, operated against business, and 425 bags of
Trinidad at auction were only in part disposed of, fine
red at 50s, good 46s 6d to 47's, and middling 45s per cwt.
Foreign met with little attention, and 35s to 37s per cwt
is the value.

SPICES.—To-day Pimento was less in demand, and
200 bags at auction went id per lb cheaper; good
middling and good selling at aid to 3d, middling rather
coarse and a little mixed 31d. 30 boxes Jamaica Ginger
realized the full value. 712 bags of African were taken
in rather above the value.

INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India is fixed for
the Bth of February, and the quantity declared is at
present 3,157 chests, but it will be increased to about
10,000 chests.

SPIRITS.—To-day there was only a limited business
eluded in Rum, although proof Leewards were obtain
able at is 6d to It 7d; East India is sd; Jamaica of
good quality 30 to 38 per cent. over proof at 3s 6d to
3s Bd, and fine at 3s 10d to 4a 4d per gallon. The market
has a dull appearance for all kinds, and there are further
arrivals. _ _

SALTPETRE.—To-day rough was only in limited de-
mand, and 700 bags of Calcutta at public sale were taken
in at the former value, viz —middling grey but rather
damp 9 to 91 per eent. refraction Sls to 31s 6d, but the
unrefracted sold at 30s per cwt.
SAGO.—Holders are anxious sellers, and submitted to
pi ices is 6d to 2s per cwt under those previously current.
At auction 749 boxes were disposed of. Privately there
has been little passing, and lower rates are expected to
prevail. Although Sago Flour is offered at a consider-
able reduction, yet few buyers are to be met with, and
at auction a small part only of 782 bags found buyers.
Ou.s.— For S. al there has been an excellent demand,
and a further rise in the value is apparent, whilst
on the part of I olders there is firmness, and they
have obtained 301 to 311 for pale; at auction 55
tuns were sold. Cod, however, has declined in value,
several parcels have been disposed of. Southern cannot
be obtained upon lower terms, but the supply is small
of all sorts, but the purchases made are of little conse-
quence ; at public sale 15 tuns realised 3115 s to 311 15s.
There has been an improved demand for Sperm, and the
parcels sold privately were at improved rates—
at public sale 50 tuns fetched 821 to 821 103 for
fine quality, and a few lots for export only 801.
The purchases made in Linseed Oil have been upon a
large scale by the home trade, and a fair demand pre-
vailed for exportation, whilst a rise in the value is appa-
rent. Holders of Olive are not disposed to submit to any
reduction in value, and the deliveries continue to exceed
the arrivals. Cocoa Nut is little required, the supply
is on the increase. The operation in Palm are to a
limited extent only. The consumption, however, is
better than of late, and prices have become moderate.
Rapeseed Oil has been dealt in with caution,
TALLow.—In consequence of further reduced rates
having been accepted for Russian on the spot, buyers
were induced to come into the market with more
freedom. A good business has been concluded both by
soap makers and chandlers, and 44s 6d to 44s 9d are the
prices accepted for P.Y. Candle. For forward delivery,
however, the operations are of little consequence. Home
made is not much required, and as the stock is accumu I
lating, there is a desire shown to sell at 46s 6d to 471
net cash. Other kinds are in large supply, and price
continue to recede.
