The Sun. — 1867-04-17 (London, England)

DAT—meaning John Tenniel's—might set the London Charivari up (if it wanted setting up, which it doesn't !) for a month to come. It is delicious ! The title of it is—" They're Saved ! They're Saved!" Derby and Disraeli—muffled up in furs against the unseasonable weather—the Earl driving helter-skelter the Sledge" Reform"—the member for Bucks sitting by him with the propitiatory bantlings by the sacrifice of which the hungry pack of wolves careering in the track are to to be got rid of little by little. Two of them have already been abandoned to fate—and you see in the perspective a cluster of wolves wrangling over the bones of each—here, the "Resolutions," there " Dual Voting !" Dizzy has still, cuddled up in his arms, two others of these sacrificial bantlings, ono labelled " Residence," the other " Personal Rating." Hungrily, still, upon the track pant, side by side with the flying Travelers, such leading wolves of the pack as Gladstone and Bright ! The world of comic significance thrown into the features of Dizzy and Derby being just simply indescribable. They must be looked at—and, looked at, they are safe to be roared over ! Bravo Punch! Vive la Bagatelle ! FRIGHTFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Volunteer Arms, Wantage-road, before Mr. W. D. Wasbrough, coroner for that division of Berkshire, on the body of Mr. William Ireson, a contractor, who met with a frightful death on Monday afternoon. For a considerable period the deceased bad held the post of " ganger" on the line, but relinquished it recently, and provided the company with the horse labour required .at the above station. On Monday afternoon ho had charge of one of his horses on the siding, and incautiously led it across the down line at the moment the express which leaves Paddington at 4.50 approached at full speed, the train not being timed to stop at Wantage-road. The unfortunate man and his horse wore both struck down with fearful force and instantly killed, and ono of the company's porters, being knocked down by the horse, was injured, but not seriously. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." HORRIBLE SCENE AT AN EXECUTlON.—Yesterday morning the young man, James Longhurst, who was recently convicted before Mr. Baron Bramwell, on the Home Circuit, of a most aggravated murder of a child named Harriet Sax, was hanged in front of Horsemongerlane Gaol, in which he had been confined since his conviction. Yesterday morning, the appointed hour having arrived, he was conducted from his cell to be pinioned, upon which a shocking scene occurred. At sight of the executioner he was terror-stricken and resisted violently. The chaplain addressed a few words to him, which for the moment appeared to pacify him, but when the executioner attempted to pinion him he struggled frightfully, and it took four or five warders to restrain him. He was at length thrown upon the ground, upon which another struggle ensued, and he kicked severely the warders who were Irving to gain the mastery over him. As he lay in that position, exhausted, his arms were strapped, and i.e was then raised to his feet. He walked towards the scaffold, attended by the chaplain, but at the sight of it he appeared to be again seized with a feeling of horror, and he struggled with all his might and main to release himself, but in vain. He was dragged up the steps by the warders, and held under the beam until the rope was adjusted. In that state of things the rest of the preparations were hastily made, the bolt was drawn, and the convict soon ceased to liva.
