sailed from Liverpool Sept. II. We ar
indebted to the editors of the Journal II

of the tracks Of the Rail Road, fell and

Russia would do the same.
LIVERPOOL. Sept. 17-Mr. Huskis-

DEATII OF Mr.. HusKIsSoN
Several gentlemen descended from the
different carriages, and after walking on
the road for some moments were prcpar-
ing to return. Amongst the number was
our Right Hon. Representative; he APP
preached that part at which Mrs. llus-
kisson was sitting, when he caught the
eye of the Duke Of Wellington.
A recognition Immediately followed,
when the Duke extended his hand which
MIR. luskisson advanced to take. While
in the the act of shaking hands herald
sounds announced the approach of the
Rocket engine on the opposite rail; a cry
ofdanger was instantly raised ,and Prince
Esterhazy was helped into the carriage
by Mr.. Littleton the Member from Stat
lordshire.
Mr.. Huskisson remained outside, and
several voices exclaimed "comc in"
'take care Mr.. Husksson." The un-
fortunate gentlemen became hurried,
and rapidly caught hold of the door,
but unhappily in cndeavouring to ascend
he missed his footing, and either fell or
was thrown down by the door, and on
falling to the ground, part of his person
extending on the other rail, and the Roc
ket coming up at the instant, went over
his leg and thigh, and fractured them
in most dreadful manner. The entire
was the work of moment. An instant
previous he was in the full possession of
his health and spirits, he now lay bleed
ing and mangled before his friends! To
pourtray the scene that followed would
be impossible.
Mrs. Huskisson uttered scream Of
horror, and sunk apparently under her
aiilction. The sufferer was with diff
Guilty raised, and by DIR. Brandrcth and
another medical Gentlemcn's directions,
was placed in carriage, and the Nor
thumbrian being attached, they proceed
ed, accompanied by Mrs. Huskisson and
one or two friends, to the house of the
Rev. MIR. Blackburn, the Vicar of Ec-
clcs, where every assistance was render
cd him.
Mr.. Ransom, an eminent surgeon of
Manchester, was shortly afterwards in
attendance, but although amputation was
first thought of, it was afterwards dccid-
ed against, it being feared that the opcr-
alton would cause the immediate death of
the cnt.-Towards evening he be-
came more calm, and We understand
had sufficient strength to make some ad-
ditions to his will, and was also sufficient
ly composed to receive the Sacrament
