HORSEILL brought the Knight of Netherby to book, in
relation to the blockades, existing or non-existing, of the
Russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas. The answer
was distinct only on one point, viz., that no distinction
would be made, in the case of such blockades, in favour of
any foreign flags. Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a

YESTERDAY afternoon, a frightful accident happened a\
the station of the London and Northwestern Railway, in
Lime-street, by which a boy about fifteen years of age,
whose name we have not been able to learn, was dreadfully
mutilated and killed. At the moment that the four
o'clock train to St. Helens was being drawn from the
station, by horses, to the mouth of the tunnel, preparatory
to it being drawn up the tunnel to Edge Hill, by the
stationary engine there, two or three boys incautiously
jumped upon the steps of one of the carriages as the train
was in motion, the deceased being amongst them. He had
scarcely got upon the steps of the carriage, when his foot
slipped, and he was swung round, and fell longitudinally
between the carriage and the platform of the station,
along which he was dragged for some five or six yards
during the time the train was in motion, and before it
could possibly be stopped. He then fell across the rails
under the carriage, in an oblique position, when the
wheels passed over his head, one side of his body, and left
leg. The poor fellow's head was fearfully crushed, and on
the carriage being removed, a shocking spectacle presented
itself. The deceased's brains had been forced out,
and were lying scattered on the rails, along, with
a pool of blood, for a distance of some three or four yards.
He was, of course, quite dead. The body was imme-
diately removed to one of the company's rooms, adjacent
to the station, where it will remain until to-day, when an
inquest will be held.
It was stated by several of the porters, as soon as the
accident happened, that there is great difficulty in pre-
venting boys from jumping on to the carriages in this
manner when the trains are in motion, and there is reason
to believe that the unfortunate deceased lost his life whilst
incautiously pursuing this course.

To the surprise and indignation of every one who be-
came acquainted with the circumstance, the magistrates
interfered with the usual procession, as will be seen by
the following circular, which the Rev. Henry H. Higgins
addressed, on Saturday, to the clergy of this district:—
" Athenaeum, Saturday, June 17th, 1854.
" Reverend Sir,—On my application this afternoon for a
police.constable to assist me, on Tuesday next, in taking the
children of the choir at St. Peter's to the Cheshire side of the
Mersey, I learned, to my surprise and regret, the decision
of the mayor and magistrates of Liverpool, that the usual
procession of schools, on the anniversary, could not be
permitted to take place. The subject was brought under
consideration by a deputation from the teetotallers, com-
plaining of the injustice of allowing the church schools to
form a procession, whilst other processions have been pro-
hibited. The decision of the mayor and magistrates was
not known, nor, I believe, formed, till about one o'clock
this afternoon. The time of giving notice being so short,
Captain Greig availed himself of my offer to send the
requisite information to the clergy of Liverpool. I was
induced to make this offer in the hope that the clergy
might assemble on Monday-, to consider the best mode of
carrying out the design of the anniversary, either by
arranging for a meeting of the schools in Parliament-
street fields, which I have ascertained can be used on the
occasion, or by any other suitable plan. Some of the
clergy will meet on Monday morning, at eleven o'clock,
at the Savings Bank, Bold-street, for this purpose, when
your presence is earnestly requested.--I have the honour
to remain, reverend sir, your obedient servant, IizNAT
HIGGINS."
in iiMrdango with this, a meeting of clergy mu held

FATAL ACCIDENT, YESTERDAY.—Between nine and
ten o'clock yesterday morning, a man named John Lord
fell off his cart while loading deals on the side of the
Brunswick dock. He was conveyed without delay to the
Southern hospital, but on arriving there the surgeon pro-
nounced that he was dead. He was in the employ of Mr.
John Owens, of Grafton-street.

INVENTION OP THE GAS•BURNER.—A meeting of the
Liverpool Chemists' Association was held last night at the
Royal Institution, Colquitt-street, Mr. Rawle in the chair.
The principal business was the discussion of the knotty
question, whether Mr. Jones or Mr. Edwards was the in-
ventor of the sun burner gas-light, which was first used in
the theatre of the Collegiate Institution. No decision was
come to ; but according to the general tenour of the evi-
dence, it appeared that Mr. Edwards was the actual inven-
tor, though the idea of such an invention being desirable
was suggested to him by Mr. Jones.

ment it will be seen that this interesting diorama may be
