i''••-•"••• • r•R PREMIERS.—It is a remarkable
fact that two vessels, ehr;st.nnd re.s p With the
names of the late and present Premier, been placed
un the station between London and Holland for the pur-
puse of bringing supplies of cattle, provisions of various
kinds, and fruits from that most productive country, out
of compliment, it may be inferred, to those personages.
One, the Lord John Russell, on her passage from Leer
to London, a day or two since, brought 88 casks of
butter, 198 hams, 99 oxen and cows, and 40 sheep ; and
the other, the Sir Robert Peel (her first voyage, we be-
lieve, under that appellation), the large number of
12,862 cheeses, 27 casks of butter, 683 bags of lard, 49
cows, six oxen, and 244 sheep, with various other arti-
cies, the production of Holland.
CRUELTY TO AN INSANE PAUPER.—An adjourned
Coroner's inquest was held on Monday at Havenhill,
Suffolk, before Mr. Way man, on the body of John Webb,
an old imbecile inmate of the Risborough Union Work-
house, who had died in the infirmary, and it was alleged
that his death had been accelerated by cruelties practised
on him by Abraham Slater, who attended him in the in-
firmary. The inquiry excited a great sensation, bat the
result proved, that though the deceased had been treated
with great cruelly, he had died from natural causes. It
appeared that Slater is an old pauper aged seventy-six,
and that he was employed in the infirmary as nurse with-
out receiving any remuneration or gratuity for attending
the patients when living, but that he had a shilling for
" doing" every dead man. The Coroner summed up at
great length. The jury expressed a wish to retire, and
having been absent about half an hour, they returned
into Court, when the foreman declared the following to
be their verdict:—" The verdict of the jury is Natural
death,' but they cannot consider they have discharged
their duty without wishing to record their horror and
detestation of the cruel and inhuman treatment which it

has been proved the deceased received from the nurse
Slater ; that gross negligence has been exhibited by the
late master in allowing such treatment to pass unnoticed
and unreported to the board."
ACCIDENTS ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
—Since the serious collision on the Cambridge line of
the Eastern Counties Railway, noticed in this journal of
Monday, two aocid.Ht2 of a more serious character,
happening to a passenger and a truck train, occurred on
Monday and yesterday, near the Broxbourne Junction
of the Cambridge with the Hertford line. On Monday
he quarter-past two up train, which should arrive in
London at thirty-five minutes past three, started at its
proper time, being driven by engine No. 68. On getting
near the Broxbourne Junction, which has a sharp curve
into the main line, the driver of the engine felt that the
engine had gone off the line, and immediately, with the
stoker, jumped off. The engine, tender, and a carriage-
break, in which was the guard, turned over, and rolled
down the embankment into a pond, the guard being
-lightly injured in the fall. Fortunately, the coupling-
irons snapped when the engine went off the line, by the
suddenness of the shake, and the carriages containin,,
the passengers providentially were left standing on the line. After some delay another engine was sent down
from Stratford station, by means of the electric commu-
nication to that place, and the passengers were forwarded
to London. With regard to the other accident yester-
day, it appears that a ballast-engine, which preceded the
quarter-past two train from Hertford, on arriving between
Ware and St. Margaret's, ran into four trucks, which
we re standing on the line, and which had been used for
carrying materials for double rails, about to be laid down
between Hertford and Broxbourne. The trucks were
destroyed, and the line blocked up. The passengers,
however, were forwarded by means of flies to Brox-
bourne, and by a Cambridge train, which arrived Oppor
tunely, to their destinations. On Monday Colonel

log fire, which broke out on the premises of Mr. Pigott,
known as the* Red Lion public-house, in Great NV ild-
street; but by the speedy arrival of the engines, together
with a plentiful supply of water, the flames were princi-
pally confined to the premises in which the fire occurred.
The flames at one time reached an alarming height, and
threatened destruction to the surrounding crowded neigh-
bourhood.
