against him.
The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said that
the only question for. the jury, was, whether
,the
hill of Buie was a bona-fide transaction, or whether
it was amen, trick and device to defeat the claim
of the plaintiff, and prevent him from getting his
money under the judgment of the court.
The jury almost immediately returned a verdict
for the defendant, and his lordship certified that
the case was a proper one to be tried by a special

,ng to approaching trains, in which latter-respect
they did godd service, as but for the alarm raised a
goods train would have run into the disabled pas-
senger train. It was about three hohrs before any
effective help could be rendered 'from the adjacent
stations, and in the meantime the passengers dis-
posed themselves as best they could on the car-
riages. As soon as a fresh train arrived the two
passengers who were most injured—a person named
Wyburn butler to a Mr. Prior, London, who had
sustained a compound fracture of his right leg, and
a commercial traveller. named Lowe, who also had
his leg broken, and suffered some injury to the
spine—were removed to the inn at Carlton. -The
rest of the passengers were forwarded to Retford,
where nine of them were taken to the Queen Inn,
adjoining the station, and the remainder pursued
their respective journeys. Mr. Davies, surgeon, of
East Retford,
immediately attended upon the
wounded people at the inn, some of whom were
seriously injured beyond being severely bruised and
much shaken, 'and nearly all of them were enabled
to proceed to their several destinations in the course
of yesterday (Friday). Among these was the Rev.
J. G. H. Hill, of. St. Katherine's, Regent's-nark,
London, who spoke in the highest terms of the at-
tention paid to the passengers by the servants of
the railway company and the landlord and land-
lady of the Queen. •
Throughout yeAerday the utmost exertions were
made to put the line in,working condition. Mr.
Leith, the general superintendent, and Mr.. Stur-
rock, the head of the locomotive department, were,
in attendance from an early hour in the morning
superintending the repairs. Such was the force of
ihe current under the rails, however, that it was
found necessary to Leave openings at frequent inter-
vals for its passage, and it was considered doubttui
whether the officials would be able to get one pair
of rails into working order before this morning.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon the passengers
still detained at Tuxford and Retford were going
on as well as could be desired. The Rev. A. Brook,
vicar of East Retford, in the course of the morning,
visited all the passengers left at the Queen Inn.
The through traffic between London and the
north is at present being worked by the loop line
from Retford to Peterborough, but the flood is so
great between Retford and Clareborough that only
one line of rails can be worked, and it is feared that
this will not be available much longer if the heavy
rains should continue.
The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line
is already blocked between Gainsborough and Clare-
borough from a similar cause, and that company are
working by the Saxilby branch of the Great North-
ern line.
About 7 o'clock on Thursday night a heavy thun-
derstorm, which came up suddenly from the south-
west, burst over Southampton, and raged with
tropical violence for nearly two hours. The lightning
was fearfully vivid and the thunder peals very loud,
while the rain fell in torrents, flooding the roadways
and streets. At Woolston the front windows of a
house were broken to fragments by the electric
fluid; and a flagstaff on the adjoining ground was
splintered to pieces. A woman is said to have
been killed by lightning at Shirley, but we under-
stand the fact that she died from disease of the
heart, probably accelerated by fright during the
storm. The heavens were brilliantly illuminated
with lightning the greater part of the night. Yes-
terday afternoon, about two o'clock, • there was
another thunderstorm, but by no meant so violent
in its character as that of the previous night. The
rain fell heavily for about an hour.

CIVIL COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.)
HADDOCK AND ANOTHER V. LEWIS AND ANOTHER.
Mr, Sergeant.Pigott, Mr. Dowdeswell, Mr. Cook
Evans, and Mr. H. James apppeared for the plain-
tiffs; and Mr. Wheateley, Q.C., Mr. Skinner,
Q.C., Mr. W. H. Cooke, and Mr. Powell for the
defendants.
Mr. Baron Martin, after an elaborate summing
up of the evidence in this case, left it to the jury to
say whether at the time the deceased signed the
paper of the 14th of April, 1855, she was in a sound
and disposing state of mind, and whether the paper
in qiiestion contained her will.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and
were absent several hours. At length they sent a
note to the learned judge, putting to him this ques-
tion, whether the following constituted a sound and
disposing mind,—viz., "If theiteatatrix knew that
she was signing the will, and giving away her pro-
perty."
His Lordship therefore sent for the jury into
court, ..a, after reading over the question sub—
mitted to him, said that abstractedly that would
be a sound and disposing state of mind ; but, look-
ing at the entirety of the evidence in this case, his
Lordship said the jury must be satisfied that the
disposition of the property was according to the
will and intention of Mrs. Higgins. The jury ought
to find their verdict for the defendants if they
thought Mrs. Hig.iins had signed the will in a
sound and disposing state of mind, and they were
satisfied upon the evidence that it was he will and
the intention of mind to dispose of her property as
was expressed in the will. But, his Lordship aided,
be was not aware that such a case the present had
ever occurred before ; and he then directed the jury
that if Mrs; Higgins was of a sound and disposing
mind, and meant Mrs. Lewis to have one moiety
of her property, but had no intention that the other
.moiety should go to Mrs. Elliott, the jury ought to
find a verdict for the plaintiff as to one moiety.
The jury, without hesitation, acted on this sug-
gestion, and found their verdict for the plaintiff
(the heir-at-law) as to one moiety of the property.

with Illustrations,

On Thursday night a very heavy storm passed
over the metropolis from the south-east to the north-
west, which was accompaisied with heavy thunder
and lightning, but it was not dearly so sevetc,....,,
destructive as the storm of yesterday. The ther-
mometer in the shade yesterday morning varied
considerably, the mercury rising from 60 deg. to
66 deg. Fahrenheit in the space of a few hours,
while at noon, although the rain was falling heavily
the glass rose as high as 70 deg. The barometer
indexed 29.77, and the wind veered round to a
westerly direction. About a quarter past 6 o'clock
p.m., the whole of London and its suburbs became
so darkened as to show that a fearful storm was'
coming on. Immense clouds passed rapidly along
from the west towards the east. A rapid succession
of flashes of forked lightning succeeded. In less
than two seconds afterwards peal after peal of
thunder followed, accompanied by beavy showers
of hail and rain. In the immediate noighbourhoo
of Farringdon-street and Holborn-bridge, as well
as on the Surrey side of the river, neat the Thames,
the damage done is very great. So great was the
rush of water down the sewers that in several
places they overflowed, and the persons living near
bad their basements' filled with the sewage matter.
The lightning continued•until nearly midnight, but
with less violence. About half-past 10 o'clock,
however, an occurrence took place at the Brick-
lane station of the Chartered Gas Company, St.
Luke's, which caused some alarm. It appears that
the lightning struck one of the iron columns which
supported one side of a gasometer, or gas-holder,
situate-on the right hand side of the yard. Owing
to the column having been thus struck the gas,
comprising many hundred thousand feet, became
ignited. Fortunately, the services of the firemen.
were not required, for, owing to the admirable di-
rections given by Mr. Upward, the superintendent
of the works, and the exertions of the men under
him, the flames were subdued in a comparatively
short period. Fortunately no person was injured,
and no damage was done to any of the surrounding
property.
On Thursday afternoon a storm of almost =-
equalled violence broke over the city of Lincoln
and the neighbourhood, and continued with una-
bated violence for 10 hours. A vivid flash of light-
ning illuminated the horizon, and was instantly
followed by a crash of Thunder. Flash after flash
of lightning and peal after peal of thunder followed
each other incessantly for four hours, and during
the whole of this time the rain descended in tor-
rents. The water rushed down from the steep
upon which a great portion of the city is built like
a mountain river, and in the lower part of the
town gathered to such a depth as in numerous
cases to enter the houses of the inhabitants and
cause them considerable loss and inconvenience.
The storm, with one or two brief cessations, raged
wish violence, until three o'clock yesterday morn-
ning, when it moderated and the rain ceased. It
returned, however, during the afternoon, and con-
tinued mire or ess throughout the day. The
damage as yet cannot be accurately ascertained,
but one thing is certain, the standing and out-
lying crops of cereals have suffered irretrievably.
Farmers attending the market yesterday brought
woful reports of the damage done to the crops, and
other casualties attendant upon the sterna; In
-the marshy districts between Lincoln and Boston
the corn sheaves may be seen floating on the water,
which, viewed from the neighbouring bills, has the
appearance of an estuary. During the whole of
yesterday the traffic on the various lines of railway
intersecting the county 'was much interrupted,' in
consequence of the damage done by the flood. On
the Midland Railway (Nottingham and Lincoln
branch), at Fisherton, near Southwelle a portion
of the line nearly a quarter of a-mile in length was
entirely swept away by the torrent of water which
rushed down from the contiguous hills, and the
traffic had to be worked by a double service of
trains. The mail- bags due at Lincoln at 5 a.m.
yesterday did not arrive until 11, and much alarm
was experienced in consequence of the telegraphic
communication being also interrupted. The main
line from Retford to Peterborough was blocked
during the whole of the day, the traffic being
worked by the Lin.colnshire loop line without any
serious inconvenience to the public. Altogether
the storm exceeds in violence anything remem-
bered. in Lincolnshire for many years past, and it
is to be feared the destruction of property
LS very
great.
An accident of a very serious character occurred
on the main line of the Great Northern Railway,
about a
.mile south of Carlton station, between
Newark and Retford, at about 12 o'clock"on Thurs-
day evening. The late heavy rains have had the
effect of flooding all the rivers and lowlands on
both sides of the Great Northern line, and a large
body of water having escaped over the banks of the
Trent, which runs between Carlton and Newark,
formed for itself a passage across the railway at the
point above mentioned, and speedily raised the
rails and sleepers out of their position. A goods
train and a passenger train passed over the place
between 10 and 11 o'clock, when the water was
observed to be rising. A fish train from the north
arrived at the spot about half-past 12 o'clock, when
the driver suddenly,found his engine sinking under
him and diverging from the rails, carrying several
of the trucks with it, and throwing the rest upon a
heap. Both the engineman and stoker escaped by
jumping in'o the water, and suffered no injury,
but the contents of the waggons were scattered on
the line or thrown into the water.. At this moment
a train was heard approaching in the opposite di-
rection; and before anything could be done to avert
the catastrophe this second train dashed into the
flood, the rails rose and fell once or twice, and
then the engine capsized, taking several of the
passenger carriages with it and plunging them into
the water. The driver and fireman were pitched
over with the engine, and were immersed in the
flood, but were not in any way wounded. The in-
mates of the carriages were, however, thrown
into the utmost confusion, and the scene at this
moment was truly appalling. The night was
pitch dark, save when illuminated by flashes
of lightning. Thunder was pealing incessantly,
the water was rushing and roaring through the
bed of the line with great fury, and above all were
heard the screams of women and children, strug-
gling, like the male passengers, to extricate thema
selves from the carriages. Those of the passengers
who were entirely unhurt immediately hastened to
the assistance of their less fortunate companions.
This, however, was no easy task. The line was
covered with water, and on one side of it was a
ditch, in which several persons were floundering,
some up to their waists and others up to their
necks. Two of the carriages were completely
smashed, and the people inside of them were
struggling and groaning fearfully. The tops of
thesevehicles ?were ripped off as soon as possible,
and the passengers were drawn out one after
another andlaid or seated on the upright carriages.
Some of the passengers happened to have stimu-
lants in the shape of brandy and sherry wih
t them,
which they promptly applied to those in need of
them, among whom were two or three female pas-
sengers in a fainting state. A widow named
Robson was found with her two children immersed
in the water, the youngest of them, an infant in
arms, being with difficulty saved from "drowning
by its mother, who bad to support it with one
arm while she held up ihe elder child with ihe
other. By the exertions of the enginemen, sto-
kers, and guards of the two trains, aided by such
of the passengers asascere- able to render. assistance,
the flooded portion of the line was bridged over with
the fragments of the broken carriages, so as to form
a roadway to the nearest dry land in the direction of
Carlton station,. Messengers were despatched up and
down the line in tie axon of further aid and to give warn

We published the other day in the column de.
voted to such topics the circular of an eminent
house of brokers of American securities established
in London, England, in which it was stated that
the late proceedings of certain prominent railway
companies here had not only shaken the faith of
British capitalists in that class of securities, but
had created a profound sensation in financial
circles on the continent of Europe. The state-
ment was the more remarkable as it was evidently
reluctantly extorted from the parties who made it,
their business being to invest British moneys in
American securities, and their interest, conse-
quently being directly in favour of the inflation—
not the depression—of the latter. The companies
to which reference was especially made in the
circular were the New York and Erie, and the
Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana ;
and the circumstances which led to the allusion
were the report of the former, in which it
was shown that three years' abstinence from
dividends had left that corporation more
deeply involved than ever, and the late
financial scheme of the Michigan Southern by
which the holders of stock were irreparably in-
jured—without their consent—by the creation of a
preferred 10 per cent. stock. The prudent reader
will thus learn that the system of misrepresenta-
tion and fraud which has been the mainstay
of our railway securities for so many years
has at last broken down, and that even the
English now see through it. So long as English-
men were eager to invest their money in our
bonds and stocks, railway building was not only
comparatively easy, but the natural decline in such
securities was checked, if not arrested, by a de-
mand for them from abroad. For several years
many of the leading capitalists of England have
made a rule of keeping a certain amount of
money in securities of this country ; they ob-
tained from 7 to 10 per cent. on their invest-
ment, and were satisfied that the gigantic growth
of their country would tend to increase rather
than diminish their dividends. They are now as-
certaining their error. They now learn—from the
report of the Erie, for instance—that a railroad
well built, well equipped, in a good situation,
and doing a good business, cannot always be
certain of earning money enough to pay its ex-
penses ; and they learn, as well from the report
of the Erie as from the creation of a preferred
stock in Michigan Southern, and when trouble
befalls these corporations the directors will ex-
tricate themselves if they can by the sacrifice of
the stockholders. It is not surprising that such
discoveries should teach them to wash their hands
of us and of our securities at any cost. We leave
to the "great financiers" and the poor creatures
in the press whom they hire to do their
puffing the whole responsibility of the shame
and disgrace thus brought upon our financial
community. Another Sidney Smith might well
be called into being to denounce the scandalous
dishonesty by which the foreigners who have
put their money in our railway securities have been
robbed and ruined. Such a case as that we pub-
lished the other day, where a poor German, having
invested all his savings, some 8,000 dols., in the
purchase of 106 shares of Michigan Southern
Stock, took ship for this countr
anyy, and.
found, on arrival, that without his knhaow-
ledge the directors of the comp
d
created a preferred stock, thus depreciating
his property from 50 to 70 per cent. and in all pro-
bability rendering it ultimately worthless, such
and a
case might well exercise the highest sarcasm
invective. For such things, under other names, me
is
n
wear particoloured suits in penitentiaries. Th
railroad system of ours, which has done so much for
this country, and helped indieectly to make so
many fortunes, will, in reality, prove the ruin,e
moral and financial, of all connecteci with it , sane
only the rogues who have the cunning; to escape
the final convulsion. Men are sick of tho old lies
and the old balderdash about the schemes of the
wicked "bears," and the unprincipled operations of
Wall-street. It needs but a very little common
sense to perceive that as between tue two sets
of speculators there is nothing to choose, but, if
anything, those are the most vile who try to swindle
other people, and especially foreigners, into placing
their money where they will lose it. It is not the
" Bears," or Wall-street, or this or that great
journal that is ruining the railways ;
it is
the simple, naked fact that the principle on which
they have been constructed and wrought is
a combination of ignorance and fraud. In some
cases they fall victims to an error in their
principle,
but in the vast majority of cases they are ruined by
the fraudulent management of their directors, who
knew when they started them, and persuaded people
to put their money inthem, and hawked them among
our friends in Europe, that they were worthlests,
and that a vendor of such commoditoniesey

iw.;hich have been made in the Imperial Liberary at St.
Petersburg, it appears that the first Russian journal was
publtslked in 1702. ukase of Peter the Great, dated
A.
the 16th December, 1702, authorised the publication of
the Moscow Gazette, the first numbar of which app
pos-
eared
the same day. No existing collection, however,
sesses a copy of any journal earlier than the 2d January,
1703. In France, the first journal, founded by itenatt•
dot, appeared in 1623.
