commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders
incident to the Eyes and Hoed.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND
DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand
cures have been accomplished by its use, at a triaing expense, yet
certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the
sufferer to snake trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it.
The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Mo-
lesting, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim-

Dr. Andrews also recommends its use at a preventive. See his
reports in Nov. 1831. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the
membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that Grim-
stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must he of the greatest
heneit to the consumer; and, further, riecoransende its universal
adoption as a preventative.

THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY
ACCIDENT.

NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY, NooN.—After dispatch-
ing my letter to town yesterday, I proceeded over to
Beeston, for the purpose of personally examining that
portion of the railway where the accident occurred.
Passing through the village of Lenton I met the
funeral procession of one of the sufferers, Mr. Var-
nails, on its way to the burial-ground attached to the
handsome new church recently erected in this ancient
village. The body was conveyed in a hearse from the
residence of Mr. Lee, which is only a short distance
from the church—the mourners, nine in number,
chiefly consisting of personal friends of deceased, fol-

lowing on foot. The coffin was borne into the church

by six respectable inhabitants of the village—the
whole population of which, indeed, followed the pro-
cession at a respectful distance, and by their demea-
nour expressed the s_ympathy they felt at the melan-
choly occurrence. The service was performed by the
Rev. George Brown, the incumbent of the parish,
and when the coffin was lowered into the grave there
was scarcely one among the bystanders who did not
evince the sincerity of his feeling by shedding a tear
to the memory of deceased. No person connected
with the railway was present.
And here I may as well correct an error in my last
report. When referring to Mr. Varnalls, I repre-
sented him to have formerly held the situation of con-
fidential servant to Mr. Ichabod Wright, of Colwick
Hall. Mapperly is the name of Mr. Wright's seat,
and the substitution of Colwick Hall, the celebrated
mansion belonging to Mr. Musters, was an error
which I hasten to rectify.
Inquiring into the circumstances attending the
refusal on the part of Godfrey, the landlord of the
White Hart, Lenton, to admit poor Varnalls, when
brought to his door in a cart from the railway, has
satisfied me that the inhumanity complained of was
practised to a degree which will be scarcely credited
when detailed in the columns of a newspaper. The
evidence of those witnesses examined before Mr.

Swann, the effect of whose depositions was compressed
into a single sentence in my last report, read at
length, leaves no doubt, however, of the fact, that
when Yarnalls was brought to the door of Godfrey's
house, and implored those about him to remove him
from the cart, as he felt that he was dying, Godfrey
positively refused to allow him to enter his house.
The only excuse that Godfrey offers for such inhuman
conduct is, that Thursday was the half-yearly rent
day of the Lord of the Manor (Mr. Gregory), and
that he had a large party of that gentleman's tenants
in the house at the time. On the other hand, it
should be mentioned that Mr. Gregory's steward,
who was in the house, avows that he would have suf-
fered any inconvenience rather than that the deceased
should have been sent away, had he known anything
of the occurrence.
On reaching the spot where the accident took
place, I found a group of individuals congregated in
the vicinity. The catastrophe occurred on that por-
tion of the line which crosses the valley of the Leen
by a gentle embankment, about three quarters of a
mile from the Beeston station, and exactly three miles
from the Nottingham terminus. The railway is per-
fectly straight at this point for • distance of nearly
two miles, and upon any other than a very misty day
nothing Could prevent a train being observed at that
distance from the Beeston station. There was little
in the appearance of the spot yesterday to indicate its
having been the scene of so direful an accident so re-
cently. Workmen were employed during the whole
night succeeding the accident in removing all trace
of the same, so far as it was possible, but quite enough
remained even yesterday to give some idea of the
fearful character of the collision. The exact position
of the two locomotives at the moment they struck
each other was clearly marked by the discolouration
of the ground by the furnaces of the two engines,
and on the north side of the line, where the quickset
hedge had been broken and trampled down in every
direction, the bank was strewed with cinders and
small portions of the shattered carriages.
I inclose you a small piece of the wood picked up on
the spot. It was broken from a much larger piece,
which had evidently formed the bed or bottom of one
of the carriages. Ido not of course assert that the
carriages to which the accident occurred were wholly
built of wood of this description, but that any such
should be contained in them does appear extraordi-

nary.
I ou will at once observe that the portion inclosed
is perfectly rotten, and crumbles with a eery slight
touch.
The embankment for a distance of about 150 yards
has been repaired, and, beyond the appearances above
described, there is little worthy of remark. Only one
rail appears to have been broken loy the collision, and
that is replaced.
When the accident occurred, some labourers in the
employ of Mr. Chatham, an agriculturist, who farms
the land on either side the line, were at work in a
ploughed field close at hand with their carts spread-
ing manure. In these vehicles the unfortunate suf-
ferers were conveyed to Lenton (two miles distant)
and Nottingham, as previously described ; those who
were not too much injured to walk a few paces taking
shelter in the farm-houses near the spot, and some
proceeding to Beepton.
I was a little surprised, while making observations
yesterday, to find that the officials had not taken the
precaution to place an officer near the fatal spot. A
group of at leant thirty persons were at one period
upon the line, at the very time that a train passed
towards Nottingham. I am informed, however, that
since the amalgamation of the Midland lines, in July
last, policemen and all other officers are somewhat
scarce on each, and certainly my own observation in
traversing the line from Leicester to this place, on
Saturday, leads me to believe this a correct state-
ment. At two stations, before reaching Loughbo-
rough, at each of which no less than from twenty to
thirty passengers alighted, a single officer had charge
of the station, and performed the treble duty of an-
nouncing the name of the place, opening the carriage
doors, and receiving the tickets from the passengers.
It is worthy of remark and animadversion also, that
this latter duty was not performed in either case until
the train had departed—the other duties to which the
officer had to attend entirely precluding him from en-
tering upon this most essential one at an earlier
period. I must not forget to mention that, so far as
I could judge, there was a sort of locomotive 'porter
to attend to the passengers' luggage. This individual
travelled with the train, and was industriously em-
ployed at each station.
Without imputing the present melancholy catas-
trophe to causes arising from a system so evidently
bad as that above described, it is not too much to say
that, when the non-ability to remove a tender which
had accidentally slipped off the rail within a few
yards of a principal station, is the only assignable
reason for adopting a proceeding which did result in
so shocking an accident, the public mind will refer to
other circumstances in some degree coincident, and
imperatively demand that an improved system of
management should take place.
The probable result of the inquiry before thr Coro-
ners is, as I stated on Saturday, a subject of extreme
anxiety among all parties here. A great deal of per-
sonal feeling is, I fear, mixed up in the affair, and,
from what I can gather, I should not be surprised if
two verdicts, at total variance with each other, are
returned by the respective juries.
The evidence of Howitt and Cooper tells forcibly
against Mr. Lightfoot, and there has been nothing
brought forward up to the present time calculated to
rebut their testimony. It is reported to me, that
when Mr. Lightfoot insisted upon returning to Not-
tingham, the driver of the Derby train threw his cap
upon the ground, and positively refused to direct the
engine. Unfortunately, however, he ultimately
yielded to tie request of his superior officer, and thus
the collision took place. On all hands it is admitted
as somewhat extraordinary, that if Mr. Lightfoot felt
so confident he was incurring no risk, the train on
which he travelled should be proceeding at so slow a
rate, as sworn to in evidence.
Had it, however, been 'otherwise, and both trains
had met when it full speed, the consequences which
necessarily must have ensued are too awful to con-
template.
I am not aware that any accident similar to the
present has previously occurred on any of the English
railways. There can be no doubt that the circum-
stances require the fullest and most complete investi-
gation, and some satisfaction has been felt here at the
presence of the Government inspector, Major-General
Pasley. I regret to add, that this eeling has been
changed to one of disappointment, on learning that
the General left Nottingham this morning by an early
trail, and therefore cannot attend any inquiry before
either of the Coroners. Had the cause of the Ge-
neral's abience been publicly known, the case might
have been different; but as it is, all is left to conjecture.
The mutilated sufferers by the .accident remain in
much the same state as at the date of my last report.
Some, however, are lying at places so far distant from
hence, that I do not get ready information concern-
ing them.
Mr. Roberts was slightly better last night. The

operation he underwent was of a fearful character,
considering the low state to which his injuries had re-
duced him. His leg was broken in two places—the
one above and the other below the knee, the bone
being much crushed, and the large sinews greatly in-
jured. Amputation was commenced at a short d►s-
tance above the knee, but the surgeons discovered
that gangrene had already taken place in that portion
of the leg, and the limb was ultimately taken off close
to the body.
As affording a satisfactory contrast to the conduct
of the landlord of the White Hart, at Lenton, that of
Mr. Pick, of the Three Wheat Sheaves, may be men-
tioned. Among the sufferers conveyed to his house
was an old gentleman named Grenton, of Doorcliffe,
near Burton-on-Trent. He was much crushed, and
continued insensible for some time after he was got
to bed. By the application of stimulants and other
remedies, he was brought round during the evening
sufficiently to give his name and residence, when Mr.
Pick immediately dispatched a servant by his own
horse and gig to the place named, and although thirty
miles distant from Lenton, at four o'clock on Friday
morning the wife and child of the poor old gentle-
man were at his bed-side. Mr. Grenton is going on
favourably.
THE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR.

and the subsequent proceedings up to the point of
Howitt's arrival. He continued—l saw Mr. Raven
go out of the station to meet Howitt, and I heard
Howitt inform him that he had come from Nottingham
to stop anything from going on the down line until
the up train had arrived. Howitt then went into the
station, and subsequently into the Victoria Hotel. I
heard Mr. Lightfoot inform Mr. Raven that the train
which was to leave Nottingham for Derby at ten
minutes to three o'clock would come up on the right
or up line, and he would go down with the Derby
train, which was momentarily expected to arrive.
The train arrived in a few minutes, and Mr. Light-
foot did so, the train leaving the Beeston station at a
very slow pace. In about two minutes after the train
had left I heard a loud crash, and I informed Mr.
Raven of the circumstance, when he came on to the

platform, and we listened together for some minutes,
but heard nothing more. The London down mail
train was due about this time, and Mr. Raven sent
me up the line to stop it. I took a red flag, and went
about half a mile up the line, where I stopped the
train, and subsequently, by the direction of the guard,
proceeded towards Long Eaton, a distance of three
miles from Beeston, where I stopped an engine which
was coming down the line, and returned upon it to
the Beeston station. On reaching there I heard from
Mr. Raven that the trains had run into each other.
When I saw the policeman Howitt coming up to-
wards the Beeston station he was running very fast,
with his coat upon his arm. Mr. Lightfoot had ar-
rived previously. I was directed to turn a red ball
at the station, to stop any train from passing it.
About half an hour elapsed after Mr. Lightfoot's
arrival before I was directed to go up the line to stop
the trains. I left Beeston station before I knew
actually what had occured. I heard no conversation
between Mr. Lightfoot and the driver of the dowr
train before it started, nor did I hear Howitt speak to
Mr. Lightfoot. From the position I was in con-
versation might have passed without my hearing it.
I saw Howitt get on the last carriage of the down
train. I observed no hesitation en his part to do so.
I am positive I new nothing of what had happened
before I left Beeston. I saw several persons about
the station before the down train from Derby arrived,
but I observed neither of them particularly. I saw
some there after the train had left, but I observed
none particularly.
By_ Mr. Swann, a juror—I heard Mr. Lightfoot say
the Nottingham train would come up the right line,
and I am of opinion he thought it would do so.
By the Foreman—l have been to Derby since the
accident, and there examined as to the accident by
Mr. Clarke, the superintendent, and Mr. Bell, the
secretary.
Mr. Patchitt observed that measures were taken
immediately after the close of the inquest on Friday
night to prevent the witnesses from holding any
communication with Mr. Raven, the station-master,
and thus he had been sent to Derby.
The Foreman—What was the nature of the ex-
amination you were subjected to ?
Before the witness could reply to this question,
Mr. Patchitt rose, and said he had the whole taken
down in writing, which was entirely at the service of
the Coroner and jury if they required it.
This was declined, and the examination of the wit-
ness continued.

By a juror—I did not hear Howitt say to Raven,
that if he was station-master he would not let a
down train start from Beeston until the Nottington
train had arrived.

By another juror—The up train from Nottingham
to Derby was a few minutes over due when Mr.
Lightfoot started on the Derby train towards Not-
tingham. The London mail down train was also due
at that time. The only step taken to prevent the
mail train from going by the Beeston station was
turning the red signal board in the usual manner,
but the afternoon was so foggy that I do not think
the signal could have been seen by the driver of the
engine, and had it arrived before I went up the line
with the red flag, my opinion is it would have gone
right on towards Nottingham.
By the CORONER, at the suggestion of Mr. Patchitt
—No two trains are allowed to start within ten
minutes of each other from any station. The driver
of the mail train might have seen the signal board on
arriving close to it, and then he might have stopped
the train and backed.

By Mr. Patchitt—l have seen fog signals, and
know the manner in which they are used. There are
none at the Beeston station. They are carried by the
engine-driver generally.
By Mr. Cooper (on behalf of the widow of de-
ceased)—The Derby train started from the Beeston
station at an unusually slow speed. The fog was so
thick I could not see more than one hundred yard
before me. I did not observe any increase in the rate
of speed before the train got out of sight. Ido not
know who started the train. The trains are started by
a white flag now—a bell was formerly used. I never
heard so loud a crash as that when the accident oc-
curred. I told Mr. Raven of it, and he then said," He
would not let the London mail train go down until
the up train had arrived." I then went up the line
with a red flag to stop it.
The witness, who gives his evidence in a very
lucid manner, and answers the questions addressed
to him with a readiness which few in his station
could imitate, is again under examination by the
jury, and I am compelled at this point to break off
my report, as the last train is on the point of leaving
for town.]

THE "LEAGUE" and the COUNTY
of MIDDLESEX.
A very important meeting was held yesterday, in
the League Rooms, the object of which was to take
the necessary steps in reference to the county of Mid-
dlesex, so as to make the return of free-trade Mem-
bers in any coming election certain. The meeting,
which was a very crowded one, was composed of
highly influential gentlemen, well known as ardent
supporters of the Free trade movement. Amongst
others, were the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P.; J. L.
Ricardo, Esq., M.P. ; Messrs. W. A. Wilkinson,
Camberwell ; Thomas F. Gibson ; W. Leavers,
James Harker; W. Cumming, &c., &c.
G. WILSON, Esq., the Chairman of the Council of
the League, who presided, opened the proceedings by
detailing the plan already adopted with so much
success in Lancashire, and now in progress in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, with every prospect of
the same result, viz., of creating a majority of free-
trade voters by the increase of 40s. freeholders.
Several gentlemen delivered their sentiments,warmly
approving of the project, and promising their co-ope-
ration to achieve the desired end.
The object proposed was very warmly received,
and a most enthusiastic spirit pervaded the meeting.
A numerous and influential Committee was ap-
pointed, and after the necessary preliminary arrange-
ments were made the meeting was adjourned till to-
morrow, when active operations will commence.
Thanks were voted to the chairman and the meet-
ing separated.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF IN ABSCESS IN
THE KNEE, BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-

Henry Croft, residing at 18, Castle-street, Southwark,
was an in-patient at St. Thomas's Hospital, for an ab-
scessed knee, and came out as incurable on the Ist of
June last year, after being there three months. In July
last he left Guy's Hospital, where he had been four
weeks, and pronounced incurable—indeed, they recom-
mended his leg to be taken off—yet, however wonderful
it may appear, he has just been cured by the use of
Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—Sold at Professor Hol-
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may
be had gratis), and by almost all respectable venders of
medicine throughout the civilised world.
ISERfous ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon, a
rather dangerous accident occurred at the side of the
Calton llill, which is being bored for the tunnel of the
North British Railway. The charge, which if not too
strong, had at all events not been sufficiently covered, on
being fired exploded with tremendous force, some of the
stones, in many cases weighing several pounds, being
carried to a great distance in the direction of the north
back of the Canongate. A crowbar which was lying on
the brushwood, and weighing 11 cwt., was thrown to the
distance of 70 yards. Unfortunately, two men who were
standing in New-street were struck by pieces of the rock
—one of them, Alexander peppy, a brassfounder, had
his head, left knee, ankle, and hand, all more or less in-
jured, particularly his knee, the bone of which was
splintered. The other, Robert Simpson, mason, be-
longing to Leith, was wounded by a stone on the back of
the head. The person in charge of the blast was
ap-
prehended, and awaits the investigation of the authorauthorities.Whether proper warning was or was not given in this
stance, there can be but one opinion that the authorities
must take efficient steps to protect the lieges from the
recurrence of accidents of so dangerous a nature.—Scots-

man.
