NEWBURY. SEPT. 11.—At to-day's market we have
only a moderate supply of wheat, by far the larger por-
tion consisting of the new crop, the quality and condi-
tion of which are highly satisfactory. At the com-
mencement of the market a slight concession was de-
demanded, which holders refused to accede to, and ulti-
mately a fair clearance was effected, at fully the rates of
last week. Barley, but little in offer, and full rates
maintained. Beans, oats, and Peas, short supply, with
a fair demand, and late rates fully sepported.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 12.—The weather continues of
the most splendid character for the securing of our
northern harvest. At our Corn Exchange this morning
the business was only moderate. Old foreign wheat was
neglected, and a trifle easier, but American barrel flour
was fully as dear as on Tuesday, the late low sellers
having been pretty well relisved, and a largo quantity
has gone into very extended districts. Oats and oatmeal
were soarce. There was not much demand for Indian
corn, but no change in price.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 12.—The demand
has been but partial this week, and prices are only about
supported. Refined goods steady, both in demand and
value. Rum is only in moderate request, at the previous
currency.—Bristol Mercury.
EXETER, SEPT. 12.—Cattle—The supply of every
description of stock was very plentiful to-day. The at-
tendance of buyers was numerous, and sales wero
effected at prices lower than last week. Fat beef sold
at from 7s 6d to 7s 9d per score; barren heifers, 5s to
55 6d; cows and calves from 71 7s to 121 each; steers
from 141 to 181 per pair; butchers' calves, 4id to 5d per
lb. Sheep—wethers, 4id to sil; ewes, 4d to 43d; lamb,
scl to Sid per lb. There was a large number of pigs,

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
WOOL TRADE.—LONDON, SEPT. 11.—The quantity
of wool imported into London during the week ending
to-day has been only 117 bales, of which 87 were from
Germany, and the rest from Italy, &o. The business
doing privately is not large, but prices remain about the
same. A novel course has been pursued by one or two
brokers, viz., that of having public sales of East India
and foreign, independent of the usual periodical
auctions.
ENGLISH WOOL.—LEEDS, SEPT. 12.—Sales of comb-
ing wools have been limited, and prices may be quoted
stationary. In clothing wools we have not any altera-
tion to report.
FOREIGN WOOL.—LEEDS, SEPT. 12.—N0 great
amount of business has been done in foreign wools this
week, but prices aro steadily maintained, and the pros-
pects of the trade are generally considered satisfactory.
LIVERPOOL WOOL.—SEPT. 11.—The imports the past
week consisted of 132 bales, say 50 Mohair, 20 Smyrna,
39 Maltese, 2 Naples, 21 Mogadore. By private the
market is quiet; buyers waiting for the sales to-mor-
row,whoeolsnl, will b

TRADE OF LEEDS.—There has been no improvement
in business at the Cloth Halle this week; both Saturday
and Tuesday were very dull; sales are effected with
difficulty, and the manufacturers complain heavily of
prices as compared to the advance in wool. The stocks
are not large at this season of the year, and some of the
mills are rather curtailing their operations. A moderate
amount of business has been done in the warehouses
during the week.

more cheerful feeling among the merchants, no dolusbat
owing to the fact of all being generally busy in the ware
houses. The trade is decidedly later than former sea-
sons, and with the abundant harvest, it is expected the
home trade will keep busy.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, SEPT. 11.—We have again
experienced great firmness in the market for cloths, and
in yarns the amount of business doing is moderately
large, though there has been no improvement in price;
since Tuesday. Ia piece goods manufacturers are still
for the most part under contract to a considerable extent
and are consequently in a sufficiently independent posi-
tion to refuse orders, unless at full prices. In some few
instances where they have been anxious to sell, business

has been cone on rather easier terms. There has been
a good demand for seven-eighths printers. Madapolisms
are in moderato request, and stocks are very light. There
is also a good inquiry for nine-eighths printers. The
home trade are operating extensively in domestic. In
the lower numbers of water-twist, prices arc maintained
better than in mule yarns, and in some instances bd to
11 per lb. advance has been obtainer!.

building, and of Dr. Lyon Playfair's classification it
is unnecessary to speak, as the public is already well
informed on these subjects, but to the directory of the
Exhibition and to the list of jurors s9ma.amount of
attention is fairly due. In these names gra comprised
lik I.:n extent and variety of practical and sc. talent,
the union of which on any one occasion, any
given purpose, is altogether unpreceden . s the
eye glances over the seemingly uninviting
array it is impossible not to be struck with the
curious combinations of persons which they pre-
sent. Leading tradeotnen and mvitife.cturers rub
shoulders with the most eminent philosophers of the
day, and science, descending from her pedestal, min-
gles freely and unostentatiously with the followers of
hard-handed industry. Not only so, but all the na-
tions of the civilised world send the most distin-
guished of their citizens in the peaceful arts to sit in
judgment upon the comparative excellences of rival
products, and to determine, at polyglot conferences,
the stage of industrial progress which mankind have
attained. The directory of the Exhibition and the
list of jurors, taken together, form one of the most re-
markable organisations that the world has ever wit-
nessed—an organisation which, considering its ob-
jects, implies not only an act of homage to industry,
but a guarantee to civilisation. The pages of the
Illustrated Catalogue, which contain these names,
are as instructive and reassuring as any within its
limits.

.1:1 We hear with pleasure that Mr. Wallis, to whose
care the arrangement of textile fabrics was committed
by the Royal Commission, and who also discharged
important duties in connexion with the jury system,
as been appointed by the Board of Trade master of
the School of Design at Birmingham. This is not
only a fair recognition of valuable services, but a
just recompense to Mr. Wallis, who formerly held a
similar situation at Manchester, which he resigned
because he felt strongly the impropriety of having a
course of instruction in anatomy thrust compulsorily
upon his pupils, who were being educated as designers
for calico printing. When Mr. Wallis gave up
his place he bad about three hundred pupils, and there
were ninety applicants waiting for admission, while
a balance of 4001. to its credit testified to the
financial prosperity of the school. In less than
two years afterwards, from the absurd system of
training enjoined by the central authorities, the at-
tendance had dwindled down to 70 pupils, and the
school was 4001. in debt. At the present moment,
when the deficiencies of our manufacturers in design
have been so strongly brought out, such facts as we
have stated are well worthy of public attention.—

THE LATE FATAL COLLIERY ACCI-
DENT NEAR ABERDARE.
The brief particulars of this dreadful calamity, by
which 14 persons were hurried into eternity, have
already appeared in The Sun. The inquest on the
bodies has since been held by the coroner, Mr. Over-
ton. The investigation was a very lengthened one,
but the following evidence will be found to contain
all the material facts adduced.

Mr. John Nixon, examined—l am one of the pro-
prietors of the Wyrfa Colliery. I have three partners
—namely, Mr. James Evans, Mr. Thomas Edwards
Heath, and Mr. David Williams. The pit was com-
menced in 1846. It has been in work, I think, about
four years. It is worked by a water balance, the
water being pumped up by a steam-engine. The di-
tnensions of the pit are 13 feet broad by 20 feet long.
It is an oval pit. The depth is about 66 yards to the
bottom of the sump. There are two buckets used.
They are each about 5 feet 9 inches in diameter, and
are round. We have three guide rods to each bucket.
They are made of wire rope, but they are called
" rods" on account of iron having been originally
used. A round chain is used for suspending the
buckets, which chain is an inch and seven-sixteenths
in diameter, and was made by Messrs. Brown,
Lenox, and Co. It was proved before it
left the manufactory at a strain of 37 tons.
I did not see it proved, but I have the manufactu-
rer's certificate to that effect. The chains and buckets
have been used since 1846, but we have had three
sets of bucket rods. The chain has never broken.
The first bucket rods were smaller, and we replaced
them with larger ones. The first rods were 1 inch ;
the second, 1 inch, were put in April, 1848. In
September, 1848, we put two new rods and repaired
the others. That was done in consequence of an acci-
dent. In April, 1849, four new screws and four new
shoulders 'were put to the buckets. The shoulders
connect the buckets with the screws, and the screws
are fastened to the cross rods at top, which sustain the
bucket. The bucket, which fell 15 yards, was unin-
jured. The quantity of coal worked at the pit is about
35,000 tons a year.
Matthew Mills, of Cwmbach, examined—l am
coal agent, and superintend the Wyrfa Colliery. I
was at the colliery on the top of the pit on the Thurs-
day morning when the accident happened. One man
had been let down before I got there in the morning.
Sixteen trams of coal and four trains of rubbish were
brought up after the men went down. A tram and
its load of coal weigh a to❑ and a half. Only one
tram was brought up at a time. Eight horses were
sent down—one at a time. About half-past seven
there were more than twenty persons waiting to go
down. At length the hitcher at the bottom of the pit
intimated that they might descend, and on that
being said several men jumped into the bucket.
The breaksman asked them why they went in be-
fore the catch-bolt had been withdrawn. All
left the bucket then and returned to it as soon as
the bolt had been withdrawn. I told them
not to go down that way—there were too many going
down—as they overcrowded the platform on the
bucket, and some of them then jumped back. I
wanted to see that everything was right. I took hold
of two—Edmund Williams and David Lewis—and
two or three others came out of their own accord. I
said to them, "Do not push in that manner, or else,
some time or other, you will push cne another down
to the pit." When the bucket went down they were
not too many ; the balance was rather light. I was
not angry with them because their weight would be
too much, but because they were rushing on so in-
cautiously and would not go on in an orderly way.
David Lewis, whom I pulled back, would go down
and was killed. The bucket went down very slowly,
as there was barely sufficient weight to balance it. I
watched it for three yards, as I happened to be stand-
ing there. There were eleven persons in it. I then
went from four to five yards back, and I heard a
sound as if something was breaking. I turned my
head back, and saw the chain by which the men were
let down playing backwards and forwards, and the
other chain made a stand for an instant. The
descending chain returned back then, the
cross struck the spring beams, the chain
went up to the top of the sheave, fell upon the
spring beam on the opposite side, which it broke,
and then fell down into the pit. In two or three
minutes I directed a ma❑ to call out to know if any
of the descending men were alive, and the answer was
that they were not—every one had been killed ; the
eleven who were descending in one bucket and the
three who were ascending in another; two of the
three, Rees Morgan and John Rogers, had been work-
ing all night. They were all killed upon the spot, dying
instantly. We prepared a rope and a crab, where-
with to communicate with the pit. About eleven that
forenoon all the bodies had been brought up. We

then proceeded to get the men up who were at work
—about 50 or 60, and we got them all up before two
o'clock. We afterwards found the three pieces of the
bucket rods produced, and also the ends of two arms
of the "cross." Oa Friday I went down to the pit
arid saw the end of the fourth bucket-rod. The four
rods had broken in the same place—in the screw,
about nine inches from the top. The chain was all
perfect at the bottom, fastened on one side to the
bucket and on the other to the centre piece of the
cross. The breaksman was at the break at the time
the bucket commenced its descent, and I saw him
putting the break down. The bucket did not go
down faster than usual ; it did not go so fast as it
usually went. Nothing had occurrod to damage the
chains or the rods. I think the accident was occa-
sioned by the breaking of the rods, but that is only a
surmise of mine. There was no weight whatever in
the bucket except of those eleven persons. Iron is
more likely to break in the screw than anywhere else.
The pit was fitted up very well in every respect.
John Evans, pit carpenter for the Do wlais Com-
pany, who had had about thirty years' experience in
collieries, and who had put this pit up, was of opinion
that one of the bucket-rods must have been broken,
perhaps a week ago, and in the cross, and so have oo-
casioned the accident. Ten men could not
have
pushed the bucket against the side.

but there is a slight appeara
which appearance, I think, was caused recently by a
blow. The iron is No. 3, and of the very best quality
made at Mr. Anthony Hill's Plymouth forge. I
cannot account for iron breaking short off in this
wav without a jar ; but when iron breaks in a screw
it always breaks across, following the thread of the
screw ; but if there be no screw it rips along, and
does not break short off.
After some further evidence of no great importance
the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned the

[PRICE SD,

following verdict :—" Accidental death, caused by the
breaking of the iron rods which connected the cross
and the bucket. But the jury cannot separate with-
out expressing their disapproval of the present sys-
tem of letting workmen go down to their work in the
sanfer way as materials, are got
.up ; and they recom-
mend that drifts should be made in all similar works
so as to enable the workmen to go to work without
any dander."_

Humphrey, aged 29 years, married, and had two

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON
MIDLAND RAILWAY.
The coroner's inquest on the body of John Taylor,
who was killed in a collision between a Derby pas-
senger train and Codn or-park mineral train, within a
mile of Nottingham, on Wednesday, was resumed at
the Guildhall there, on Friday afternoon, at two
o'clock. John Bower, of Mansfield, under-guard in
the service of the Midland Railway Company, deposed
that on Wednesday morning he was with a mineral
train.the goods-shedsiding,
and at tthheenNpoutttinognhathme
trade il
wase left
u p a the
t
station at about twenty-five minutes to seven o'clock.
It
main line. Fog came on thick, and he ran down the
line to give a signal to the passenger train which left
Nottingham at seven. When he had got down about
40 yards he saw it about 25 yards before him.
The fog was so thick that he could not see it previ-
ously. The goods train ought to have been at the
siding near Lenton at half-past six o'clock. Nothing
was said to him about giving a signal to the passen-
ger train. The pointsman said, " One of you should
go out with a signal, for the Lincoln goods-train has
not gone to Derby." It was the duty of witness to
have gone down to have signalled the passenger train,
but he could not, because without him the engineman
could not have seen the points.
John Royce, of Mansfield, employed sometimes as
porter, sometimes as guard to a mineral train, deposed
that on Wednesday morning he ought to have gone
with a luggage train, at half-past six, for Codnur-
park and Mansfield. He had overslept himself, and
as he was going to the station the clock struck seven.
He was told the train was waiting. He ran fast, and
met Bower about ten yards from where the train was
standing. Bower was walking gently towards Not-
tingham, and was asking witness whether he had
brought the waybill, when witness exclaimed, " John,
there's a train coming," and they ran different roads,
witness going to the goods train and Bower to the
coming passenger train. When witness had got past
about seven waggons he heard a crash of the other
train coming into them. Witness had gone to bed
the previous night at twenty minutes past ten o'clock,
and had only had one pint of ale to drink previously.
Anthony Tomlinson, driver of the goods train, gave
similar evidence to that of Bower, except that he
thought Bower had plenty of time to stop the pas-
senger train.
Robert Rigby deposed that he had told the guard
he expected a train, when the guard replied, " My
mate has not come yet ; be has locked the break and
got the key, and I cannot get a signal." Witness
told him if he went back he could stop a train without
a signal. That was 16 or 17 minutes before the col-
lision, which occurred about eight minutes before 7
o'clock. The guard had plenty of time to have gone
to the signalman at the Nottingham station.
Charles Mitchell, fireman, deposed that during the
first shunt he heard the pointsman tell the guard to
go back and stop the coming train. Two or three
shunts were effected after that, before the guard went
back.

THE

Nathaniel Ickersley, superintendent of ways and
works on the Midland Railway, deposed that the spot
where the collisio❑ took place was about .550 yards
from the signal at the Wilford-gate, and about 252
yards from the Mansfield Junction. If the guard
had walked from the luggage-train to the Wilford-
Rate it would have taken nim about five minutes.

After a quarter of an hour's absence, the jury re-
turned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against Joh❑
Bowers, and he was committed, upon the coroner's
warrant, for trial at the next Nottingham Assizes.
\Vith regard to Royce, the jury recommended that
he be immediately dismissed from the service of the
company.

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY.

THE OFFICIAL INQUIRY.

Yesterday and throughout the whole of the pre-
ceding day Captain Laffan, R.E., one of the Govern-
ment Inspectors of Railways, was engaged at the
Hornsey station of the Great Northern Railway, in-
vestigating the circumstances attending the disastrous
collision between the two Exhibition excursion trains
on the above line on Monday evening, some particu-
lars of which have already appeared in our columns.
The inspector was accompanied by Mr. Leith, who
officiated for the superintendent of the line, and who,
we believe, was the only representative of the company
in attendance. In order that the facts of the occur-
rence might be as correctly laid before the public as
possible, the reporter solicited permission of Captain
Laffan to be present at the inquiry. The gallant officer
courteously replied that he had no objection to the
press being admitted and the public put in possession
of the proceedings, and individually he should offer
no obstacle, but there was a difficulty :in the way.
The investigation took place upon the company's pre-
mises, over which he had no control ; and if the com-
pany, therefore, declined allowing the reporter to be
present, he (the captain) had no authority to interfere.
The reporter accordingly applied to Mr. Leith for the
entrée, but he at once declined acceding to the request,
without giving any reason for the exclusion.
In consequence of this proceeding, we of course
cannot state precisely what took place, but from
various sources we gathered the subjoined details.
The captain, on his arrival, proceeded to examine
and survey that portion of the line which formed the
scene of the collision. The site of the Hornsey sta-
tion, as regards security, is certainly not the most
favourable. It is situated in a curve, and, particu-
larly with down trains, can only be seen some 200
yards distant. The signals also appear not to seem
the most prominent. To the up line there are two
semaphore signals. One is opposite the station, at the
and, or rather at the beginning of the up platform,
24 feet high, while the other is about 200 yards down
the line. By some awkward contrivance it is placed
on the embankment rather than upon the permanent
way, so that in fact it is only nine feet above the
level of the road. It should also be mentioned that
the latter is not worked by a man specially apointed
to watch it, but by an ordinary wire and crank com
municator from the station. The station is what is
termed a third class one, and the servants employed
there are represented to be the station master and a
porter to attend to the signals, the passengers, lug-
gage, &c., with the occasional aid of a man from
the coal depot near. It is situated on the main
line, where all the express and slow passenger
trains pass, with innumerable coal, luggage, and
cattle trains, and being so near the metropolis, it
often happens that they are so close upon one
another that they are obliged to be brought up at '
this station in order to secure their safe transit.
Enough was elicited to show, it is said, that the ac-
cident was in a great measure attributable to the
somewhat dangerous
practice of running coal trains
just in advance, it may
be said,
of heavy excursion
trains. Perhaps no line running into the metropolis
has had so large an amount of Exhibition traffic as
the Great Northern ;
moue, and their trains have been enor-
not being protected, as most railways are,
by the electric telegraph, it does seem extraordi-
nary that such a heavy block as a full train of coal-
laden trucks should be run upon the line just before
the monster train from the North, and indeed the
expresses, instead of afterwards. But we are informed
of a greater danger than even that existed. Although
there was a stated time given for the passing of the
Exhibition trains, they of late have been running so
irregularly, as also the coal and luggage trains, that
throughout the whole southern portion of the lire
those engaged at the stations have been left in perfect
mystery as to when to expect them. They have gone
by at all hours, inconveniencing and delaying
the ordinary traffic. As before noticed, what
is known as a full train of coal trucks
brought up at the Hornsay station, and
could proceed no further in consequence of the engine
becoming disabled. It seems that the steam being
generated too rapidly the driver turned the emptying
tap or stopcock of the boiler, intending. when a suffi-
cient quantity had run out to stop it. Upon at-
tempting to do so, however, he foundy himself unable
to stir the handle of the tap,
p artl
it fitted
to the
tight-
ness with which, being ai into itssocket,
oket
new,
and partly to the force with which the water rushed
out through the pressure f the its our-' e :Amu Mao -

T face. Finding th ~ap immovable, and that thew ater
Iwould all escape, he became apprehensive that the
boiler would become red hot, and so collapse. He
I therefore left the tap and raked the fire from the fur-
nec ,?. The trucks were left therefore a perfect lilock
upo,l the line. Not being provided with the ele ctrie
telegraph, some delay occurred in sending a meFziage
1 to the London terminus and procuring a pilot ere eine.
Whilte this was going on the station master appi, ars
to hav e acted with much promptitude in protec,,ing
the up line. A porter was dispatched to the long
distance semaphore, and the man from the COal: de.
pot, not in the service of the company, was sent
further down the line to the extent, it was re-
prese,3ted, of 1,000 yards, with the red flag.
A luggage train shortly afterwards came up and
( was duly stopped, and tlii: was followed by an Exhibi-
tion excursion train from Hull, which was brought
safely to a halt at the rear of the luggage trucks. At
length the pilot engine arrived, which took the coal an lig.
goes in tow, and the lugirage followed in a short tin ie.
In order that the Hull train might have the fullest
amount of protection, it was signalled to come up to
the station, which it did. It was there detained until
such time as the preceding coal and luggage tra ins
could have been some distance on the road. It was
then nearing seven o'clock, but clear daylight, and the
red signal lsmps, however, were not lighted. Tee
man who had been sent 1,000 yards along the line,
stated that he kept to his post; that a train driven ny
two engines, and consisting. of 35 carriages (which
prored to be from Leeds, York, &c.) came in sight;;
that he waved and held the red flag right over the lire,
and in front of the engine, and that when it panel'
him—and this is perhaps the most remarkable part of
the story the driver waved his hand to him as if 'to
imply that he understood him, and that he was to talie
it away. The train went on with the speed but
little, if at all, reduced. A. man who was ,at work
at the coal depot, perceiving the approach of the
train, at once started up the train with his arms
raised, with a view of stopping it. It is ,averred
that he had gone two hundred yards when the
train passed him, and the driver seeing him
at once shutoff the steam and adopted every mode
of bringing it to a halt; but with a train of 35 car-
riages, all crowded with passengers, which, with the
two engines, amounted to a weight of 300 tons and a
momentum force of perhaps 1,000 tons, it way not so
easily to be accomplished. The deplorable conse-
quences of the collision are known. Happily the Hull
train was put in motion, and although it had not pro-
ceeded many yards it was sufficient to reduce the
shock considerably. With respect to whether the
danger signal was really placed at 1,000 yards from
the station, as mentioned, there seems to be consider-
able doubt. The drivers of the engines of the York
train, as also the guards, spoke of not seeing the man
with the flag, and they asserted that had he been there
they must have seen him several yards before they
came up to him. They added that the firstintima-
tion they received of there being some obstruction on
the line was observing the danger signal at the
bridge and the man who bad run up the line with
his arms raised. They at once shut off the steam,
reversed it, applied the breaks, and did everything
that was possible to check the train; and had it been.
lighter than it really was they were of opinion that
they could easily have stopped it in time to have
averted the collision. The greatest difficulty
was its enormous weight, and it appears that it was
that alone which prevented them bringing it up.
There were other circumstances urged in confirmation
of the representations of those in charge of the train ;
but from the very private way in which the proosed-
ings altogether were conducted, and the strict injunc-
tions given the men not to render any information, to
the press, we are unable to afford them publicity.,
The inquiry did not terminate until late last own-
ing. Captain Laffan, as may be generally known,
gives his opinion as to the cause of the accident in a
report to the Board of Trade, and therefore we are
not in a position to state what conclusion he came to.
in this unfortunate instance ; but we may mention
that Mr. Leith expressed an opinion to the reporter
that the collision was purely an accident and arose,
from the inability of the drivers of the York trai-o,
owing to its heavy character, to bring up in time to
prevent coming in contact with the Hull carriagei,.
On inquiry into the state of the Rev. Mr. S nell,
who continues at the house of Mr. Rhodes, the Rail-
way Hotel, near the station, we learnt that he remains
in a very bad state. He has not regained the use of
his lower extremities. Most of the clergy in the dis-
trict have visited him and condoled with him as to his
painful position. The other sufferers lying at the
hospital are progressing favourably.

THE LATE DISASTER ON THE BUCK-

INGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY.

BICESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—Major Dews, one
of the Buckinghamshire Railway directors, has this
day personally visited the sufferers from the late acci-
dent, with the view of seeing that eery attention is
paid them. The medical referee of the company is
making terms with the v,lrious persons injured, and
paying them compensation in cash for the injuries
they have sustained. An impression exists that the
disaster will lead to the adoption of a double line of
rail instead of a single one, as at present, from Oxford
to the Claydon junction. In consequence of the ca-
tastrophe a special meeting of the board cf directors
is called for Wednesday next. Tbe funeral of
Corporal Noon took place yesterday afternoon
at Oxford in the presence of a very large concourse
of persons. It is understood that he was on h:s way
to Oxford on a love errand, and that Elizabeth Easley
was also on a similar mitsion. Mr. and Mrs. Bad-
dington, Mr. Bailey, Mrs. Jenkins and daughter, and
Mr. Smith, who were injured, have left Bicester. The
following persons remain under the care of Messrs.
Dawson and Woodward, resident medical gentlemen,
viz., Mrs. Susan Collis, of 53, Moorgate-street, with
collar-bone broken and severe bruises. Mrs. Mary
Terry, of Bull-street, Abbey-place, Friars, Oxford,
with shoulder bone dislocated and severe bruises.
John Wood, warehouseman to the Grand Junction
Canal Company, 1, Green Dragon-court, Fore-street,
Cripplegate, with lacerated scalp and severe bruises.
William Bolton, cheesemonger, 4, Olive-place, with
contusions ; Francis Davies, private of Life Guards, a
native of Kirtlington, Oxon, who was on furlough, is
suffering from pressure on the chest and severe con-
tusions ; John Nevill, coal merchant, 9, Beckford-
row, Walvvotth-road, London, contusion of the back ;
George Gurden, porter, 5, Thomas. street, Oxford-
