Created a

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Connected with the Mottram tunnel of the Man-
chester Corporation Waterworks, which tunnel is to
be the great conduit for the water through the hill,
several vertical shafts have been sunk, by which the
workmen in different carts of the tunnel descend and
ascend to and from their labour, and up which the
soil excavated is removed. ole of these shafts,
which has a depth of nearly 200 feet, was the scene of

an unfortunate accident, yesterday morning to two of
the inspectors of the tunnel. The inspectors, Messrs.
John Molyneux and Robert Taylor, were about to
inspect the progress of the works below, and for that
purpose got into the tub, which was suspended by a
.flat rope and lowered and raised by a steam-engine,
placed near the mouth of the faaft. The engineer,
who we understand has only recently been em•
ployed there, started the engine too quick, and
the inspectors, as they began to descend, called
ont to him to check its speed. Instead of
this with care an•i caution, he checked it abruptly
and at once, and the consequence was that the
sudden check broke the large cog-wheel, and the drum
on which the rope works having no longer any resisting
.power, the weight of the two inspectors caused the
tub to descend with great velocity all the. way to the
bottom of the shaft—nearly 200 feet. Of course the
concussion, when the tub struck against the bottom,
was most ♦iolent, and both the inspectors received
very serious injuries. They were placed in the tub
in a helpless and almost insensible condition, and the
tub was raised by means of a crab and windlass, and
the sufferers at once conveyed to their own homes,
where they were promptly attended by several sur-
geons of the neighbourhood, Messrs. Pomfret, Side-
bottom, and Ferneley. These gentlemen, on exa-
mining into the nature of the injuries inflicted, found
that Mr. Molyneux had one leg severely fracturei,
and that his whole frame was also suffering greatly
from the concussion. Mr. Taylor had three of his
ribs fractured, and he was also suffering internally
from the effects of the concussion upon the system.
We are glad to learn, however, that neither of the
sufferers was considered to be in any immediate
danger. The engineer has been apprehended. and
will be detained in custody to await inquiry.—Man-
cheater Guardian.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday even-
ing* last, a young man P moloyed on tho Buckingham-
shire Railway, named Blward Anrr, came by his death
in a shocking manner on the above line. The deceased
incautiously missed his f and f.,11 under one of the
carriages, to which, in his capacity as guardsman, he
was attached, bct'a wheels of which passed over his
stomach. He was immediately conveyed off the line in
a perfectly insensible state, and on a medical examina-
tion taking place it was found that he had sustained
severe injuries both externally and internally, the body
presenting dreadfully mutilated appearance, and not
the least hope was held out of his recovery. The poor
sufferer continued to linger for two hours af era ands,
when happily death terminated his existence. An in-
quest was held on the body the following day before Mr.
J. W. Cowley, one of the coroners for the county, whei,
after hearing the evidence, and no blame appearing to
be attached to any one, the jury returned a verdict cf
" Accidental death." e deceased, who had a wife and
one child, was much respected on the line as buing a
steady, civil, and obliging young man.
BELGIAN Hors.—The steam-ship Albatross, which
usually trades to and from Ha'nburgb, when the trade
with the Hanseatic States is opec, has arrived frcm
Antwerp at the port of Hull, having on board twenty-
-6 vs bales cf 130ps, as a portion of her cargo, the produce
of Belgium.
