THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT
AT NOTTINGHAM.
ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR. W. VARNALLS.
NOTTINGHAM, NOV. 28.—This inquiry was resumed
yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, at Lenton, before
Mr. Swann, coroner, and the jury.
Mr. Patchitt, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the
railway company, and Mr. Campbell, solicitor, to watch
the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Lightfoot.
John Fisher, engine-man of the down train, was about
to be examined, when Mr. Greaves objected to Mr.
Lightfoot, being present while Fisher's evidence was taken.
Mr. Bliindstone remarked, that he saw no reason for
such a step ; adding, that he had been very sorry to
observe, on the part of several of the jury, throughout
this investigation, a determination to blame or criminate
Mr. Lightfoot as much as they could, which he thought
most improper.
Two or three other jurors intimated their concurrence
in Mr. Blundstone's observations ; Mr. Bayley and Mr.
Greaves rose, and an angry discussion seemed likely to
take place, but it was stopped by Mr. Campbell twho
appeared for Mr. Lightfoot) requesting his client to leave
the room, which he did immediately.
Fisher denied seeing any one speak to Mr. Lightfoot
at Beeston station, and that he never heard of a mes-
sage having been sent from Nottingham to stop any
trains. The witness had no rules until the morning
previous to the accident. In answer to Mr. Patchitt,
witness said he had had sufficient practical experience on
the Derby and Birmingham line to enable him to work
the Midland Counties line.
Mr. Robert Lightfoot was the next witness, and he
made the same statement we have already given.
Robert Cross, of Beeston, gardener, heard the acci-
dent, and was on the spot immediately. Assisted in re-
moving the injured passengers. Heard Fisher say to
Ur. Lightfoot, " If it had not been for you this accident
would net have occurred." Mr. Lightfoot made some
reply, but witness does not know what it was. At that
time Fisher appeared angry, and a good deal agitated.
Mr. John Wildey gave similar testimony to that we
have already reported.
Joseph Coulburne was the last witness examined ; his
testimony was similar to that he gave before the Coroner
for the town.
fAt eleven o'clock the inquest was adjourned to Mon-
day next, at half-past nine in the morning, at the
County Hall.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE

BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.--The adjourned
inquest on the body of William Murrowood, the stoker
employed by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway
Company, took place at the Navigation Inn, King's
Norton, this evening.
Mr. E. Moore, the Deputy Coroner for the county of
Worcester, presided ; and Mr. Charles Shaw, one of the
Directors of the Company, and Mr. M'Connell, the su-
perintendent engineer of the Company, were present at
the inquiry. The following is the principal evidence:—
Mr. J. M'Connell—l am the superintendent of loco-
motive engines on the Birmingham and Gloucester Rail-
way, and reside at Bromsgrove. I know nothing of
the death of the deceased, but what I have heard in evi-
dence. I knew him. He was employed by us, and
under my direction as superintendent of the locomotive
department. He was a very steady young man. I know
this particular bridge in question. It carries the high-
way over the railway to Ring's Norton.
CORONER—How long have you been employed upon
this railway ?—Three years and four months.
CORONER—Did you consider this bridge dangerous ?
—I did.

CORONER—Why ?—Because I considered there was
not sufficient room between the pillars and the rails on
each side.

CORONER—Ara there any other bridges similarly situ-
ated on the line?—No there are no other.

CORONER—Can you give us the dimensions ?—The
witness, who had previously been to the spot for the
purpose of measurement, stated that the height from the
railway to the centre of the arch of the bridge was 14
feet 3 inches, the width from one side of the bridge to
the other was 22 feet 6 inches, width over rails (one line
of train) 5 feet 11 inches, but the witness could not speak
as to the distance between the walls on each side, and
the train lines ; neither would he give an opinion as to
the distance between the carriages and the objectionable
pillars ; he thought it might be about 18 inches. The
witness said there was a difference of about 2 inches be-
tween the pillars of the north and south entrance of the
bridge, and that the accident occurred where the distance
was the widest.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The St. Vincent, 120,
Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, G.C.8., G.C.H., &c., re-
hoisted his flag (white at the main) on board this noble
ship yesterday morning, and Captain R. F. Rowley
resumed the command of her, the Right Hon. the Earl
of Ilardwicke having returned to town. This morning
lighters were towed alongside to take out her powder
and lower-deck guns, prior to her coming into harbour,
and taking up her old moorings as guard-ship, off Cold-
harbour, Gosport.
The Hornet, 6, Lieutenant-Commander C. Seaver,
arrived at Spithead about nine o'clock last evening.
She left Port Royal, Jamaica, on the sth of October,
called at Bermuda, and thence to Spithead in 20 days.
She will go to the eastward to be paid off. She had en-
countered awful weather from Bermuda home.
The Leviathan, convict hulk, is being stripped of all
useful stores, preparatory to being moored up the harbour
for shell practice from the Excellent.
The Falmouth navy lighter sailed yesterday, for
Sheerness and Chatham, with stores.
DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAY.—A Court-martial, com-
prising Admiral Sir David Milne, G.C.8., president ;
Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, superintendent of the
dockyard ; Capt. Milne, of the Caledonia; Capt. Dixon,
of the San Josef ; Commander Wriford, of the San
Josef ; and Mr. Eastlake, Judge-Advocate, assembled
yesterday morning on board the San Josef, in this
harbour, to try (as we are informed at his own request)
Lieutenant Henry Stokes, of the Tartarus steam-
surveying vessel, Captain Wolfe, on the charge of
indecently assaulting a boy, named Terry. of the said
ship Tartarus. The details, of course, are entirely unfit
for publication. The cross-examination of Terry elicited
facts and circumstances tending considerably to shake
the testimony he had given previously. His conduct
as a boy has been most riotous and improper on several
occasions, and it was not difficult to perceive much
malicious feeling lurking at the bottom of his accusation,
although he swore he had no ill-will towards the pri-
soner. It was elicited, however, that Lieutenant Stokes,
being a very " smart" officer, he was not liked by the
crew, who wished him out of the ship. Terry also ad-
mitted having received punishment for neglecting his
duty. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence,
protested his innocence, and believed the charge to be a
foul conspiracy to blast his character, because he was
strict in the discharge of his duty. Witnesses also
proved the bad conduct of Terry, whose propensity for
lying was notorious. The surgeon of the Tartarus also
proved the absence of appearances of a criminal assault
having been committed. The commanding mid other
officers of the Tartarus also gave Lieutenant Stokes an
admirable character for the possession of moral and reli-
gious principles. The Court being cleared, the members
duly deliberated upon the evidence adduced on both
sides, and the result communicated on the re-opening of
the Court was, " that the charge was fully proved, and
that Lieutenant Stokes was sentenced to be dismissed
from her Majesty's ship Tartarus." At this announce-
ment the prisoner seemed transfixed with horror.
The Snipe cutter, Lieutenant Raymond, left on Satur-
day for Cork.
The Penguin packet, Lieutenant Leslie, came into this
harbour on Friday to repair defects.
The Plymouth buoy-boat arrived from Portsmouth on
Saturday.
The Tartarus steam surveying-vessel, Captain Wolfe,
arrived on Saturday from Cork, and came into harbour
on Monday to repair defects.
The Caledonia, 120, Captain Milne, has re-hoisted the
flag (while at the main) of Admiral Sir David Milne,
G.C.8., and resumed the duties of the guard-ship at this
port. She fired the daylight and sun-set gun on Monday.
The Alban steam transport, Commander Lowe, was
paid advance on Monday, and sailed for Cork yesterday.
The Netley tender sailed this day with supernume-
raries for the ships fitting out to the eastward.
In the Sound—The Caledonia.

In Harbour—The San Josef, Sylph, Tartarus, and
Confiance steamers; the Penguin packet, and the Devon,
Camel, and Tortoise naval lighters.

CORONER—Now, Sir, do you think this space between
the carriage and the pillars is to be considered as con-
sistent with public safety ?—Certainly not, if passengers
lean out of the carriage windows with their bodies, which
they have no right to do.
CORONER—Then, to a certain extent, it is not safe?—
To a certain extent it is not safe.

CORONER—Have the public inspectors been over this
line of railway ?—I believe they have.
CORONER—Do you know who they were ?—I don't
know who they were, it was before I was in the service
of the Company. I have seen General Pasley on the
railway, but I don't know that his attention has been
particularly called to this line.
CORONER—Then there has been no public inspection
of this bridge ?—Not that I am aware of.
CORONER—To whom does the bridge belong ?
Mr. C. Shaw—Mr. Coroner, the highway is in the
possession of the surveyors of he highways.
CoaoNEß—But to whom do the bricks and mortar be-
long ?—To the Company.
CORONER— What do you consider the engine to be
worth ?-1,000/.
CORONER—And what the tender ?-1501.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death,"
with a deodand of ls. upon the engine.
Mr. C. Shaw, one of the Directors of the line, then
addressed the jury, and said, on behalf of himself and
his colleagues, that they sincerely regretted -the loss of
life which had occurred through the ill-construction of
the bridge in question. It was of Captain W. Moor-
som's construction, and no other engineer but he would
have put such a bridge upon the line. He and other
Directors had passed up the line hundreds of times with-
out being aware of the consequences which might result
from its construction ; but he could assure the jury and
the public that the Directors were most anxious to give
the public satisfaction, and that the bridge should be im-
mediately altered, and that there should be no further
cause of complaint.

Also, a most complete and beautiful collection of Chimney, Pier,
and Console Glasses, Decorative Painting, Paper-hangings, and
other Ornamental Embellishments, at the most moderate and rea-
sonable prices.

occasion to take such measures as were necessary to pro-
mote the design of affording to persons employed in
warehouses more leisure than they at present possess,
for the purposes of moral and intellectual improvement.
Mr. BENNOCU having taken the chair, acknowledged
at the outset the advantage that had been conferred upon
the cause by the public press ; particularly by the dif-
fusion among the trade of the reports of their former
proceedings. The cause, from having been deemed a
visionary project, was now recognised as a settled prin-
ciple. Finding the impossibility (principally owing to
the postal arrangements) of closing warehouses at one
o'clock on Saturdays, the Committee had decided that
the best course would be to recommend the closing at
six o'clock every evening, at least from November to
August (emitting the hour's vacation for tea), instead
of seven, with that relaxation. All the principal
firms in the City who had been consulted, had exhibited
a favourable disposition towards the proposed scheme.
On Monday last one eminent house had set the example
of closing at six o'clock instead of seven, which
had since :been partially followed, but which, it was
expected, would be universally adopted by the principal
wholesale warehouses from Monday next. The Chair-
man then read the report of the Committee, which, after
a detailed narrative of the steps taken to promote the
object above referred to, contained an appeal to the body
of the employed to prove themselves worthy of the boon
so honourably granted, and expressed the conviction of
the Committee, that in thus offering the means of moral
improvement to the few they were indirectly opening
channels of good to all.
The report was unanimously adopted, having been
supported by Mr. Richardson, the principal in a whole-
sale firm in the City, who bore testimony to the advan-
tageous results in a pecuniary sense to his firm, as well
as in moral effects upon the habits of the people them-
selves, to whom a similar relaxation had been some time
ago granted, at his works in Ireland.
Some other resolutions, in support of the common
object were recommended, in appropriate speeches, and
some judicious advice having been addressed to the
"young men" as to the use to be made of the indulgence
thus conferred upon them, with a view, not only to show
an adequate sense of the liberality of their employers,
but also to turn the concession to their own real advan-
tage, the resolutions were unanimously adopted, and
the meeeting broke up.

THE WINTER'S WREATH.
The winter's wreath Is a sparkling gem,
It glitters, it glitters so bright;
As crystals fair, the icicle there,
It beauty displayeth outright.
The mountain snow as it settles above,
The hail.storrn bounding beneath,
The flooding rains, and the whirlwind high,
Oh they fill up the winter's wreath
The winter's wreath is a sparkling gem,
But it chilleth the human heart ;
And mortals shrink from its Icy touch,
With a shivering throb and a start
The wrappers of HYAM, we must confess,
Alone can protect our frame;
For thousands acknowledge with heartfelt glee
How truly great Is his name!
For winter ,&rear his unbounded stock
Maintains the position he holds ;
Whilst countless supplies, in succession arise,
Each day with delight he unfolds.
Remember the shop, the number, the name,
Remember his bargains likewise;
L. HYAM ranks proudly the chief of the trade,
Though noted the lowest in price!

THE NATIONAL THEATRE.—There was a tre-
mendous house at the National last evening, on the occa-
sion of Mr. Anderson's benefit. The house was not oaly
crowded to excess, but the audience was composed, a
great portion of it, of the beauty and fashion of our city.
Mr. Anderson has, in fact, drawn large and respectable
audiences every night of his engagement, and has made
himself decidedly a favourite here. During the perform-
ance of the Lady of Lyons, so strong was the admiration
of the audience towards his fine acting, that several most
hearty cheers were given him, a thing which is very un-
usual in a theatre, and which nothing but a masterly
performance can call forth. His Duke Aranza, in the
Honeymoon, we cannot remember of ever having seen
played better ; in fact, it was one of the most interesting
and agreeable evenings that we have spent at the theatre
this season. At the close of the performance Mr. An-
derson was called for, and immediately appearing before
the audience, returned thanks for the honour.—Boston
Democrat of Nov. 2.
FIRE AT KILINIARNOCR.—We have just learned
that the print-works belonging to Mr. Bicket, situated in
Tichfield-street, Kilmarnock, were burned to the ground
early this morning. The loss sustained is considerable;
but we understand the property is pretty highly in-
sured.—Ayr Obsert•er of Tuesday.

HOTEL AND TAVERN-KETICERS'
PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.
The sixth annual meeting of the Hotel and Tavern-
keepers' Provident Institution, for the relief of neces-
sitous and aged members, was held yesterday evening
at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, Alderman
John Johnson in the chair. About one hundred gen-
tlemen were present on the occasion, and the proceed-
ings of the evening passed off with great eclat. No
effort was wanting on the part of the proprie-
tors to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of those
who attended, the dinner and wines bearing out the
reputation which this establishment has so deservedly
obtained.
After the cloth had been drawn, the usual loyal and
constitutional toasts were given, and received with
customary enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Prosperity to the
Institution." In proposing this toast he observed,
that the institution was founded in the year 1839, and
in that year the sum of 1,100/. was obtained in
support of the object for which it was
founded. In the second year of the So-
ciety's existence that sum had increased to
1,9531.; but in the third year he regretted to say
a falling off took place, and from that period until
the present time the progress had not been such as
the friends of the institution expected and desired.
It was not sufficient for them to meet in that room ;
the design of the institution required that they should
exert themselves in their several spheres after the
convivialities of that evening were concluded.—
(Hear, hear.) Every member should endeavour to
obtain the co-operation of the friends by whom he
was surrounded in his own neighbourhood. On look-
ing over the list of subscribers, he found the names
of persons of great wealth, occupying stations in
v‘hich they would be enabled, by proper exertion, to
secure adequate support for that excellent institution.
It was a fundamental rule of the society that they
should not commence distributing the funds to
their poorer brethren until the sum of five
thousand pounds had been obtained; and he
regretted, that although the institution was then
entering upon its sixth year, they were not 'et in a
condition to carry out its primary object. IN as that
a state of things which ought to continue ?—(Hear,
hear.) He trusted that their exertions would be
such as to gladden the hearts of their poorer brethren,
and such a result would, he was convinced, afford
permanent satisfaction to their own minds. With
these remarks, he begged to propose the toast which
he had announced, namely, " Prosperity to the In-
stitution."—Drank with three times three.
Mr. H. POW ALL said, on proposing the health of
the President of the day, it was customary to enlarge
on the excellent qualities for which he was con-
spicuous • but, knowing the feelings of their Presi-
dent, he should content himself with simply proposing
his health ; only adding that they must all fee
deeply indebted to him for consenting to occupy his
present position, and thus evincing the interest which
he felt in the prosperity and welfare of the institu-
tion.—(Cheers.) With regard to the object imme-
diately before them, he must say that there was no
class of the community who deserved more considera-
tion from their fellow-citizens than those who
laboriously toiled to promote the comfort of the pas-
senger, the traveller, and the sojourner at inns.
Every one who left his home to travel in different
parts of the country must be struck with the conve-
nience and comfort provided at an English inn,
where so much was done to provide a substitute for
the endearing attactions of home ; and those who had
experienced this, could not but sympathise with the
case of those who were left comfortless and dependent
in the decline of life. The pablic expected to find the
servants at inns immaculate, and they often became
irritable if they did not receive what they considered
sufficient attention. To submit to little petty annoy-
ances was a part of the daily occupation of such per-
sons. He trusted that that institution would, to a
great extent, supply a refuge for those who, at an ad-
vanced period of life, were unable to pursue their ac-
customed avocations.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed the
health of the contributors to the society, which was
drank with enthusiasm.

Mr. E. BREWSTER proposed " The Presidents and
Vice-Presidents of the Institution," which was duly
acknowledged.
Mr. CLARK (the Mayor of Windsor), as one of the
Vice-Presidents, briefly returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Honorary
Secretary, Mr. Tapster.
Mr. TAPSTER briefly returned thanks.
The Msvoa of WINDSOR proposed the health of
Mr. H. Pownall, who acknowledged the toast.
The CHAIRMAN then gave successively the health
of the Stewards of the day, which was warmly re-
sponded to.

n Mr. LOVEGROVE returned thanks on behalf of the
Stewards.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed " the Ladies," and
in doing so, took oecasion to announce a donation of
five guineas from Mrs. Johnson, which elicited con-
siderable applause.
The following donations were also announced :
The Chairman, 10/.105.; Mr. James Hunt, of Syden-
ham, 10/. 10s.; Mr. Cutler, 10/. 10s. ; Mr. R. R.
Wood, of Fulham, 101. 10s. ; Mr. Painter, 10/. les.;
Mr. Hammond, 10/. 10s.; the Licensed Victuallers'

Mr. Bennet, 5/. ss. ; Mr. Webb, Si. ss. ; Mr. Godfrey,; 51. 55.; besides other donations, making upwards
of 1501.
The festivities of the evening were promoted by
vocal performances from Messrs. Jolly, Shoubridge,
Bruton, and Smith, and two juvenile performers of
great merit.
