FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

On Friday night Mr. Lewis Morgan, a gentleman of
property in the neighbourhood of Merthyr Tydvil, was
killed by a train passing over him while endeavouring to
cross the Taff Vale Railway on horseback-. It appears
that the deceased gentleman had been in Merthyr on
business, and meeting with several of his friends, had
drunk too much liquor before he left. About half-a-mile
below the Taff Vale station, at a place called Brandy-
bridge, is an old parish road crossing the railway much
used, but there are no gates on either side to prevent the
public crossing at all seasons. This road is about half-a-
mile nearer to the Graig, where the deceased resided,
than the usual road by Plymouth. The night was ex-
ceedingly dark, and the animal the deceased rode was a
very restive colt, which he had purchased about three
weeks before. A young lad who was standing close by
the spot when the accident occurred states that a few
minutes before S o'clock, just as the up train from
Cardiff came along, the deceased struck his horse and
endeavoured to cross the railway in front of the
engine, bit it seems that neither the engineer nor
stoker saw anything till after the animal had been
struck, nor even then could they tell what had
happened. The engine was, however, immediately re
versed and brought to a standstill, alter proceeding
about 150 yards further, when a horrifying spectacle
presented itself. All along the line and among the
wheels were fragments of the body of the deceased—a
leg was in one place, an arm in another, a hand in
another, the head and part of the trunk in another, and
the heart in another, while bits of flesh and bones were
scattered about in all directions, and some thrown a
considerable distance. The horse was also dreadfully
mutilated, and Mr. James, surgeon, was several times
appealed to decide what portion of the fragments
gathered up belonged to the horse, and what were parts
of the human body. In a pocketbook found in one of
the pockets were notes amounting to 2701., which the
deceased bad that day received at Brecon Old Bank,
and on the following morning Superintendent Wren
found attached to one of the wheels of the tender, a
pocket, torn from the trousers of the deceased, contain-
ing lls. 6d. in silver. From marks of the horse's
hoofs in the road, it would appear that the animal was
struck by the buffer about the middle, just as it was
er.ssing the outer rail, and carried a considerable distance
before it or its rider fell under the wheels. A jury was
summoned on Satur lay evening by Mr. J. Morgan,
deputy-coroner, to view the body, after which the in-
quiry was adjourned till ThurQday, the 25th inst.

OXFORD COMMISSIONERS REGULATIONS.

Mr. II EYWOOD moved an address to her Majesty,
praying that She will be pleased to withheld her approba-
tion from the regulations and ordinances recently sanc-
tioned by the Oxford Commissioners for the amendment of
the Statutes of Exeter, Lincoln, and Corpus Christi Col-
leges, in the University of Oxford, such regulations and
ordinances beinc, in many points inconsistent with the
spirit of the Oxford' University Act of 1. M.
Sir J. PAKINGTO N. complained of the omission in the
new statutes of any reference to aground preference, which
had hitherto prevailed in nearly all the Colleges of Oxford,
in elections to schelatships and fellowships—namely, the
pectud;iry position and means of the candidate. With the
view of calling the attention of the Government to the sub-
ject, and of putting his sentiments upon record, he moved
an amendment of the motion.

Sir G. GREY said that, doubts having arisen with re-
gard to these statutes, the Government had decided to
advise the Crown to refer them to the Privy Council,
assisted by the Attorney and Solicitor-General, as
assessors.

After a short discussion, the motion and the amendment
were both withdrawn.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 26th, in the
Debuts, says :
" The superior officers and commanders of regiments
whe during the winter have been on leave of absence
have now alt returned tc their posts, and the employ 6-
of the telegraph on the 03'4 of the Baltic have received
orders to proceed to their -different stations. The naval
department has taken all its measures in order to be on
the alert, as soon as 00 enemy should make their ap-
pearance. The University held its, grand annual sitting
two flays ago, at which several of the high dignitaries
of the State were preselt- A paper was read on the
state of the Russian army before Peter th'e great. The
Emperor has given a fly; to the nobility of Georgia, on
account of the part which the inhabitants took in the
two last campaigns, and another flag to the flotilla of
the Caspian Sa. Scarcely a week passes without some
condemnations of public f 3 netionaries of peculation being
published. A letter front Orenbourg states that an em-
ploye of the departuent of the foicea has been sent to
the army as a common soldier, for having disposed on his
own account of permissions to cut wood, and thus
pocketed some thou-lands of rmbles. If peace be Made,
it is exp,cted here that a loan to a couhidet able amount
will be negotiated."

RAILWAYS.

Mr. E. BALL asked the Vice-President of the Board
.of Trade whether it was the intention of the Government
to introduce a bill in the present session, giving power to
the Board of Trade, in case of any line of railway that may
be reported unsafe by their officers, to order all necessary
works to be done for the safety of the public, at the ex-
ruse of such railway company, and that the certificate
of the Board of Trade's Engineer shall entitle the party
having done such works to immediate payment for the
same, from such railway company
Mr. LOWE said it was not intended to introduce aoy
such bill.
LETTERS BY THE JAMES BAINES.
Mr. H. BR, tWN asked the Secretary to the Trea-
sury why the letters per James Baines, Australian
mail packet ship, arriving off the Mersey on Saturday
night, were not delivered in London before Wednesday?
Mr. LOWE —The letters by the James Baines arrived
at Liverpool at 3.55 a.m. on Tuesday. The first por-
tion was despatched from thence at 8.55. the same morn-
ing, and the remainder at 3.45, but both arrived too
late for delivery that day; the consequence was that the
whole of the letters were deivered on Wednesday.
ILLEGITIMATE SOLDIERS.
Major SIBTHORP asked the Under Secretary for
War whether a claim made for the pay and medal of a
soldier who fought at Alma, and who was believed to
have been present with his regiment at Inkerman, and
reported to have died before Sebastopol on the 7th day
of November, 1854, had been refused on the ground that
; the soldier was of illegitimate birth f
Mr. F. PEEL—No such ease could be found at the
War-office, but if the bon. member would give him the
particulars of the soldier he would cause inquiry to be
made.

THE LATE CONFLAGRATION.

Visit of H.R.H. Prince Alfred.

this afternoon, shortly before tour, his Royal High-
ness Prince Arthur and his attendants arrived in one of
the Royal carriages at the Queen's entrasce to the
theatre.

On leaving the carriage his Royal Highness was con-
ducted by Inspector Darkin and the chief engineer of
the Fire Brigade to the spot from whence her Majesty
yesterday viewed the scene of destruction.
On reaching the spot his Royal Highness exclaimed
" How dreadful !" and then put a number of questions
to Inspector Darkin as to the different points of the
building.

After gazing on the scene from the point mentioned
for about twenty minutes his Royal Highness was con-
ducted to the other parts of the ruins where it was con-
sidered safe to go, and made a number of inquiries re-
specting the state of the walls, the position of the royal
box, and other particulars. He there expressed his
thanks to Inspector Darkin for the kindness be had
shown him.

At the expiration of about an hour the royal party
returned to the carriage and drove back to Buckingham
Palace.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge Alto
visited the ruins this afternoon.

THE TIPPERARY BANK.

The docket was lodged in this case en Tuesday,
and the proceedings under the Winding-up Acts are
to take place in the office of Master Murphy. The
effects of the crash will be soon made apparent, Rnd
every day the belief grows stronger that the whole
weight of the responsibilities will devolve upon
some half-dozen or more wea!thy individuals
who hal the misfortune to be shareholders
iu the doomed concern. But a few day since Mr.
James Sadleir was an object of general sympathy,
as people charitably supposed that he was the vic-
tim of, 'rather than accessory to, his brother's
frauds. The revelations in the Rolls' Court on
Tuesday have, however, completely turned the
tide of popular feeling ; and fur years to c,)me
Sadleirs' Bank will be only remembered as one of
the plague spots is the Irish social system.

COMMISSARIAT CLASP FOR SEBASTOPOL.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Secretary of War
why the clasp for Sebastopol had been withheld from
the Commissariat ?

Mr. F. PEEL said he would answer the question to-
morrow. lie would take that opportunity _of saying
that with respect to the'promise he had given, regarding
the statement received from Mr. Filder, though he had
no objection to its productijn, he thought that, as a
committee of, general officers had been ap-
pointed to investigate the whole subject, it would
be better to let the statement be laid before them, when
the publicity that was required would be obtained. . .
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he certainly intended to
bring forward the subjectr as he originally intended ;
and he hoped the promise of the Secretary of War to lay
that letter on the table would not be receded from.
DISEMBODIED MILITIA.

In reply to a question,
Mr. F. PEEL said that the control of the disembodied
militia had been transferred to the War Department,
and the practice of that department with reference to
the calling out of the disembodied militia was to wait
until the lorie•lieutenant of counties had stated when it
was convenient for the officers and men to be called out.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the "266, in the
Debats says
•

•
`.`The superior officers anti commanders of regiments

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
To-day there has been a fifth sitting of the Con-
gress.

It is confidently stated that the Grand Master
of the Ceremonies has just drawn up the programme
of the ceremonial to be observed at the birth and
provisional baptism (ondoyement) of the children of
the Emperor.

The explanation of Lord Palmerston on Monday
night relative to the " preliminaries of peace," and
which was received here yesterday, disposes of the
blundering statements which appear to have
created such a sensation in London, Paris, and
Brussels. Lord Palmerston merely repeated at some
length on Monday, March 3, what was stated
more briefly on Tuesday, the 26th alt., that is, six
days previously. A private letter from Brussels
informs us that the Russian Minister there, who
is, we believe, a son-in law of Count Nesselrode,
went about repeating everywhere that peace was
concluded, that he announced the fact to King
Leopold, and that his Majesty warmly congratu-
lated him and others thereupon. It, was rumoured
here that a number of homes in Brussels were illu-
minated on the occasion. Evidently a trick has
been played off for stockjobbing purposes, and one
firm in particular in Paris is charged, justly or
otherwise, with having originally sent the news to
Brussels, London and ertlrer cities of the continent.
All that can be safely alrrned is, that matters are
going on, assez bien ; but it would be an error to
suppose that there is not yet a good deal of work
to be got through. France and England have not
been since the commencement more firmly united
than at this moment. Of Austria's firmness it is a
doubt whether so much can be sail ; at all events,
whisperings are heard about Count Buol not rea
lising all that was expected of him. It is positively
stated that no prolongation of the armistice or of
the negotiations beyond the 31st of March will be
listened to, and that, in fact, everything must be
arranged in 10 or 12 days from this date.
The members of the Legislative Body met
yesterday in the bureaux to name the presidents
and secretaries of the bureaux for the present
month. For the Ist bureau, Count de Morny was
chosen president, and Count Golly d'Arcy secre-
tary ; 2d, M. Leniaire (Oise) and Count Joachim

NEW -Ot*TH-- WALES.

We have received, 110 Valparaiso, files of Sydney
papers to the 10th of Dec. inclusive.
We extract the following from the Sydney Morn-
ing Herald of that date

"A review of the chief wiriness transaction of the
oast week is gratifying, As attording proofs that in alrnost
.svery aepartment of enterprise and industry, confidence,
lately shaken by various large insolvencies, is being re-
Aored. From our agricultural, pastoral, gold, copper,
iron, and coal mining districts, the latest advice's are of
the most favourable character, whilst the late consider-
able demand from Victoria for many of our leading
items of import has given a great impetus to our
Inost profitable markets. The reports as to the large
coming crops in every one of our wheat.;rowing
districts are highly satisfactory, and give every promise
to relieve the rates of breadstuff.' from those fluctuations
which will always arise when the colony is entirely de-
pendent on importations of &reign grain and flour.
Already, from the Hunter, some large parcels of very
line wheat have been received in Sydney, and obtained
10a.per-bushel, and there appears every prospect of the
wheat crop of this season escredingrin extebt- and qua-
lity,. that of any former. • • , •

MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.

The subjoined is from theCommitte3 of Mexican
Bondholders

"'The' committee of MeXican bondholders have re-.
ceived advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, 2d
ult., but the packet brings no remittances for the divi-
dend fond. The British . consul. in Vera Cruz writes
that, as regards. the $45,000 which could not be shipped
-by the preceding packet, and were then lodged with him
for safe cestody, he had met with unexpected difficulties
to obtain the permit required to send them by the pre-
Sent packet, and had referred to her Majesty's Minister
in Mexico on the subject. The agents in Tampico re-
port that they:were unable to make any remittance, be-
cauee the expected supply of hard dollars had not y, t
:reached that port, in consequence of the conducta havirg
.been delayed in
.San Luis Potosi. Affairs generally in
Mexico continued in a very unsatisfactory state, and the
difficulties which the Government had to contend with
were immense. The President had by decree of 21st
• January last abolished the tobacco monopoly, which
had of late produced $600.000 annually, and ordered the
Sale by public auction of the stock in hand. His
,Excel-
lency the Minister of Financl sends the committee (with-
Out comment) a copy of the new tariff of 31st Jan. last,-
which was to take effect from the day of its publication,
but which, at the date of Mr. Whiteheid's letters (2d alt.),
had not apparently been published yet in Mexico. -Art.
11 of this law contains the following paragraph :—"Tn
addition to these rates of. duty on imports, 25 per cent.
more are to be paid into the national treasury,' in bends
01 the public consolidated debt." It is net explained,
whether those bonds are'to be of the foreign as well as
of the,detnes.ic debt, hut the committee presume such to,
be the intention.; nor, if that be so, what proportion of
each is'.to be paid, and whether-at par or at what other

SLIGO BOROUGH ELECTION.

Letters from Sligo announce the formal with-
drawal of all the candidates from the hustings save
Mr. Wynne and Mr. Somers, in whom are respec-
tively personified the Derbyites and Palmerston
Administration. Great efforts, it is reported, were
made to induce 'Mr. Somers to give way to some.,,,
other Liberal more to the taste of the constituency,
but the ex-member was inexorable, and the con-
test, says the Freeman, "will be one between Pal-
merston s nominee and the nominee of the Carlton
Club." The odds are altogether in favour of. Mr.
Wynne. The Roman Catholic clergy keep aloof,
and many of the laity of the same persuasion will
probably vote for the kind Orange landlord in pre-
ference to their old representative.

MR. HEIDLAM'S MEDICAL REFORM BILL.

A numerous and highly respectable meeting of
the Associated General Medical Practitioners and
Licentiate Apothecaries took place last evening at
their hall, in Mary-street. Mr. Headlam's bill
formed the subject of discussion. Several gentle-
men addressed the meeting, after which a resolu-
tion strongly condemnatory of the bill iu its pre-
sent state was' passed nem. con. A petition founded
on this resolution is to be drawn up, and placed
for presentation -in the bands of Mr. Whiteside,
its prayer to be supported by the University and
city members. It is believed that the learned
bodies here—namely, the Colleges of Physicians
and Surgeons—are also strenuously opposed to the
measure.

COMMISSARIAT CLASP FOR SEBASTOPOL.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Secretary of War
why the clasp for Sebastopol had been withheld from
the Commissariat

Mr. F. PEEL said he would answer the question to-
morrow. Ile would take that opportunity of saying
that with respect to the promise he had given, regarding
the statement received from Mr. Filder, though he had
no objection to its productim, he thought that, as a
co•nmittee of general officers had been ap-
pointed to investigate the whole subject, it would
be better to let the statement be laid before them, when
the pulicity that wa4 required would be obtained.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he certainly intended to
bring forward the subject, ,as he originally intended ;
and he hoped the promie of the Secretary of War to lay
that letter on tire table would not be receded from.
DISEMBODIED MILITIA.
In reply to question,
Mr. F PEEL sand that the control of the disembodied
militia had been tran,ferred to the War Department,
and the practice of that department with reference to
the calling out of the disembodied militia was to wait
until the lonisdieutenatit of counties had stated when it
was convenient for the officers and men to be zalled out.
