ACCIDENT AT TILE OPENING:OP THE BRIGHTON
AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY.—The Brighton and Chichester
Railway was opened on Monday, as far as Worthing,
General Pasley having certified that the line, although only
one set of rails is as yet laid down between Shoreham
and Worthing, is fit for traffic. The first three trains
from Brighton, and the first two from Worthing, went
through, carrying a considerable number of passengers ;
but the third train from Worthing, which starts fifty-five
minutes after twelve o'clock, on arriving at Lanieng,
within a short distance of the residence of the late Sir
Thomas Lloyd, Bart., met with an accident which inter-
rupted the traffic for the rest of the day. At the spot in
question two horses wers drawing a train of earth-
waggons on a temporary line of rails, or rather on the
permanent rails which are laid down for about half a mile in
this locality; and the driver neglecting to observe the pre-
caution of holding the leading horses by the bridle, the animal
started off into the permanent line [rails just as the engine
was coming up, and the tender, which was in advance of the
engine, knocked down the horse and ran over it. The tender
was capsized off the rails, and falling over the horse when be-
tween the front and hind wheels, killed it on the spot. The
engine was also thrown over, but remained on one of the rails
so as to obstruct the passage. Fortunately, the pace of the
train being slow, none of the passengers were injured ; but in.
consequence of the accident they were detained for two hours,
when they were removed to another train and proceeded to
Brighton. All subsequent trains were more or less delayed,

bwayy the
report of a pistol from one of the deck cabins, the door of
which was fastened inside. On forcing it open, a young man
was found with his head and arms resting on the table, and
a pistol, just discharged, in one hand. He at first appeared to
be dead, but on being raised lie looked around him, and said
that he had committed the act himself ; that he had come
on board prepared and determined to put an end to his exist-
ence, and expressed a hope he had succeeded in giving him-
self a fatal wound ; that his friends had driven hint to it ;
and that he did not want any of them to know anything
about what he had done. Immediately on being landed at
the Terrace Pier, Gravesend, Mr. Hodges, the master of the
workhouse, was sent for, and, at the desire of the unfor-
tunate young man he had him removed there, and at
once attended by Mr. Saunders, surgeon to the establish-
ment. After a lengthened examination of the wound,
during which the patient, with great self possession, directed
the operators where to search for the ball, which he said he
felt in the back of his neck, the gentlemen declared it to
be their opinion that the ball, which penetrated at the upper
part of the bridge of the nose, pretty nearly as high as be-
tween the eyes, had either lodged in the neck or spinal
bone, or striking upon that bone, and being repelled by it,
had fallen into the msophagus, and bad been swallowed as it
passed into the stomach. With the probe, after various
trials by both gentlemen, the lodgment of the ball could not
be discovered; and, the external wound having been dressed;
the patient was put to bed in the sick ward, after repeatedly
refusifg to give his name, or state who is friends were. On
his shirt was marked the name of " IL J. Colebrooke," and
the -Same name within the leather lining in pencilling on his
hat. He is about twenty-two years of age, in person alight;
and about five feet five inches in height. In his coat-pocket
was found a pistol, powder-horn half-full of powder, and in
his waistcoat-lockets some percussion-caps and a silver pen-
cil-ease and metal pocket-comb. In his pantaloon pocket
there were la. 6d. in silver. •
