THE RAILWAY CATASTROPHE NEAR CLIFTON.  The sixth death which, on Wednesday last, was anticipated as likely to result from the railway accident near Clifton on the 4th inst., has occurred. Betsy Nfacartney, one of Nfr. Harbour's servants, expired in the Infirmary about half-past twelve o'clock on Wednesday morning last, in consequence of the injuries which she then received. The inquest upon her body was opened on Friday, at the same time that the adjourned inquest on the bodies of Mrs. Hone; and of Frederick Glass Sandeman Barbour, the second child of Mr. G. F. Barbour, was resumed. The jury met at the Royal Infirmary, where they viewed the body of Betsy Macartney. Upon their re-assembling after doing so, Mr. Herford, the coroner, said that the accommodation provided at the Infirmary for Inquiries of this nature was much too confined. He therefore deemed it to be his duty to adjourn the inquest to the Angel Hotel, where he believed a somewhat larger room could be obtained The inquiry was then adjoursed to the Angel Hotel, Market Street, where Captain 'Wynne, Mr. Blake, Mr. J. S. Stubbs, Mr. James Nasmyth,landicaptain Laws were examined, and gave substantid the stake evidence as she* which they gave at the inqr4ut held at Clifton. At the conclusion of the examinati n of the witnesses mentioned, the coroner said that he 4rought it,would be unnecessary for the jury to go into ,matters connected with the general management of this railway, as that had been investigated in the mine of another inquiry. He therefore thought that it Whuld be Sufficient for them to consider what had been tta cause of this accident, and whether there were any persons who might be charged with felony. The 'only persons who were presented to them as apparently at fall liable to such a charge were the engine-dried 6 and the guard; and it was for the jury to say whether either of these persons had bepn guilty of more than error of judgment in doing as they might have done—viz., having made for previous delay by going at an unusual speed. The jury retired at twenty minutes after fire o'clock, and in a quarter of an hour thee returned a verdict of 'Accidental death,' accompanied by the following remarks :—' The jury are of opinion that the cause of the injury and deaths of the parties upon which they are met to inquire, has been entirely in consequence of the bad state of the permanent way, and the excessive speed at which the engine was proceeding ; and the jury wish to express their very derailed opinion that the company are highly ' blameable in sakewhigalle line of railway to become in such a Mateo, to be unsafe for the public to travel upon ; and they find their verdict accordingly.' We are happy to learn that the remaining sufferers by this accident are doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Barbour are both going on very favourably, and are so far recovered as to be able to leave their rooms. Mrs. Barbour is able to walk, but Mr. Barbour has not yet gained sufficient strength. Mr. Caratti is going on favourably; and the other four sufferers at the Infirmary, Ellen Hogg, Mr. Richd. Martyn, Henry Kay, and Henry Pugh, are all doing well. It is hoped that the' twb first will soon be completely recovered.—Manchester Guardian.  Film—Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a one-storey brick tenement, occupied as a workshop by Mr J. Rochead, hatter, 134, Stockwell Street, caught fire, as is supposed, from overheating the stove used on the premises. The material used in the manufacture of hats being mostly of a very inflammable nature, the fire spread with such rapidity that before the engines arrived the roof was consumed, and the whole contents of the tenement in a blaze. As nothing was saved, the loss must be considerable, and we are sorry to hear that the property was not insured.
