In returning a verdict of "accidental death" the jury considered there was a degree of negligence on the part of the carter, but not to such an extent as to justify them in returning a verdict of manslaughter. Assault. Owen M'Inteer, a labouring man, was charged, on Monday last, at the Birkenhead police court with assaulting a boy named John Johnson and a man named Rehshaw, on the preceding day. It was stated that the risoner and about 20 other Irishmen were on the Woodohuroh-road, at Oxton, the whole of them being more or less under the influence of drink.

Bankruptcy Court. In re H. Trtiiram The bankrupt, a broker, formerly carrying on business in this town, passed his last examination on Monday, before Mr. Commissioner Perry, and a day was fixed for the certificate re S.

D. and Dalton This case came before Mr. Commissioner Perry yesterday, upon the last examination of the bankrupts, who traded under the firm of the Leeswood Iron Company. Owing to the complicated nature of the accounts, a further adjournment took place to the 6th of October. Mr.

Councillor Fbrnihouqh. A painful sensation was oreated in the town yesterday morning and especially in St. Peter's ward, where tho energetic oouneillor is so well known by a report, generally circulated and believed, that Mr. J. Fernihough had on the previous evening dropped down dead.

The rumour, which we are glad to state was not correct, had its foundation in the fact that the member for St. Peter's ward was suddenly seized with indisposition, from which, however, he speedily was yesterday morning much better in health than he had been for some days previously. The Zoological Gardens. A grand gala was given at these gardens on Monday evening, which attracted a large audience. In addition to the usual amusements a balloon ascent was announced, an event which generally proves a great source of attraction.

Unfortunately, from one of those mishaps which frequently accompany aerial voyaging, the company were doomed to disappointment. The balloon was filled at the works of the Liverpool Gas Company in Wavertreo-road, under the superintendence of Captain Chambers, R.N., a veteran aeronaut, well known for his numerous and successful balloon ascents in various parts of the kingdom. It was conveyed in safety to the outer wall of the gardens, but while being lifted over it unfortunately came into contaot with a tree. The effeot was to produce a large rout in the silk, through which the gas escaped so rapidly that in a short time the balloon collapsed, and all idea of effecting tho ascent was necessarily abandoned for that evening. The balloon, which belongs to Captain Bedey, is one of the largest in the kingdom.

It is 54 high, and measures 94 feet in oircumferenoe. Upwards of 22,000 feet of gas are required to inflate it, and on Monday evening it wrb sufficiently buoyant to have elevated two persons. Tho audience were necessarily somewhat disappointed in not witnessing the balloon asoont, but they found ample recreation in the other amusements with which the gardens abound. The balloon ascent is postponed to a future day, of which due notice will bs given. The "Blackball" Clipper Ship Lightning.

On Monday, a large number of the friends of Messrs. James BaineBand the proprietors of this noble ship, belonging to the "BlaokBall" line of dippers, and of the officers who are about to be passengers in her to India, were entertained at an elegant on board, at Qravesend. and had thus an opportunity of seeing the fastest clipper in the world decked out in her best colours preparatory to her long voyage. When the was concluded, and the usual loyal toasts had been proposed and drunk with enthusiasm, Captains Bnright and Lane, the past and present commanders of the Lightning, were successively toasted, and returned thanks the former receiving a nanaaome, onronomeier, voted to mm t)y grateiul passengers in voyajes under his command. On the nartv leaving in the steam-tug Resolute, on their return to town by rail, the yards of the Lightning were manned, and the crew gave three hearty cheers.

The appearance or ine vessel at toe moment, witn ber graoetui and tapering spars, was exceedingly beautiful. The owners are under contract that the vessel shall not exceed 70 days on the outward voyage. Not the least interesting episode in the proceedings of the day was the embarking of a regiment of the Dragoon Guards on board the screw steamer City of Manchester, which was moored alongside the Lightning. The troops oheered the visitors most heartily as they left the ship in the steam-tug for the railway station, whioh, it is needless to say, was as heartily responded to. Aa a sailing ship, the Lightning has made some of the smartest runs on record, on one occasion accomplishing the extraordioarv distance of 4R0 nautical miles in 24 hours, being an average speed of aooui io snots an nour.

in seven oonseoutive days she ram 2188 nautical miles, being about 327 miles a day an average speed of a little more than 14 knots an hour for the wnole time. At tne Beginning ot tbe present month the Lightning completed her fifth voyage, thoush onlv built three years. The duration of her voyages has varied from CS to 83 days, tho average being a little over u.

On Friday last, the European and Australian Company's screw steamship Australasian, recently launched from the shipbuilding yard of the Messrs. Thomson, started on her trial trip from tbe Broomielaw. On Hearing Govan, about two miles from Glasgow, tho Australasian, which is the largest screw steamer everbnilt in this quarter, grounded, and every effort of four steamtugs to get her off proved ineffectual. She floated with the evening tide, and was towed down the river about three miles farther, when she again grounded about a mile above Renfrew. 8trenuouB attempts were again made by the tugs to get her off, but they proved unsuccessful, and the ship, in the course of the last attempt, gradually wore round," and stuck right across the river.

On Saturday morning, several passenger steamers started from the Broomielaw. with betwixt air and seven thousand excursionists for the coast, but of course they were doomed to be disappointed, and were conveyed baok to the Broomielaw. The steamers from the coast were in a similar predicament, and during the whole of Saturday hundreds of persons in the city and from the country who, bent on their accustomed trip to the coast, hurried to the Broomielaw, but returned with disappointment depicted on their countenances. The steamers in connection with the Dumbartonshire railway conveyed their passengers from either end, and landed them near the Australasian, where they exchanged vessels. By this means, the people reached their destinations in safety.

About twenty steamers lay in the harbour during the day, and those bent on excursionising went by the Greenock Railway to Greenock. Oa Saturday afternoon, at high water, another attempt was made to get the Australasian off, but although lightened to some extent, this attempt also proved unsuccessful.

At the commencement of ti business, Mr. Holme stated that be had been informed by some of his brother magistrates that persons seeki.ig for licenses and transfers were in tho habit of procuring letters from private gentlemen for the purpose of influencing or biasing the minds of the magistrate-; in granting licenses. This was an unfair mode of and it was much more inexcusable when such letters were written oy attorneys, who were expected to know Detrer. ne (air. noimej uad received a letter from a person wno signed himself "John Godfrey, solicitor, York-buildings," which he had returned to tho writer and as his brother magistrate Mr.

Hamilton hod received afac simile, he would hand them to the reporters York-buildings, Dale-street, Aug. 22, 1857. TO THE LICENSING MAGISTRATES OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL. "GentlemeD, You will no doubt remember the circumstances under which you were induced, shortly before the last annual sessions, to grant tbe removal of a license, mo property oi a jars. uoDoam, irom xitneoarn-s treet or that neighbourhood to (as was then represented) Paddington, and that it was subsequently satisfactorily shown this grant had been obtained by misrepresentation in fact, fraud both as regards notices alleged to have been given, and the description of the premises, which are in Irvine-street, immediately opposite to my house, and at the corner of Wavertree-road, the back wall of the licensed house onfy being to Paddington.

And you will no doubt remember that a license had been previously refused to be granted to these premises when properly described. HencB the cause for the misrepresentation made when it was granted, and the complaints consequently made by myself and other owners and occupiers of the neighbouring property to the magistrates on that subject. Mrs. Cobham never, in fact, resided in' the her license was purchased by the owner of the premises in Irvine-street, and she never was intended as the tenant, although she, 1 believe, swore before that the removal was for her own use solely. Since this was done, the premises have been transferred twioe and made into a dram shop and within a few weeks post another communication into Irvine-street has been opened, whioh has become an intolerable nuisance to the neighbourhood, from the constant use made by persons frequentiog the place of the walls and corners close by the doors as urinals.

As I am given to understand that a distinct promise was made to you, on the license being lately transferred, that no other communication Bhould be opened into Irvine-street than the original entrance, this having been since made, in defiance of such promise I deem it necessary to call your attention to the matter, in the hope that something may be done at tbe forthcoming annual session to put a stop to the disgusting scenes continually occurring opposite the church and the residences of parties of respectability who have families growing up. Trusting, therefore, that on the application for a renewal of this license you will see the necessity of insisting upon a stoppago of the new communication made into Irvine-street, contrary to distinct promise, or refuse a renewal of this license, I am, gentlemen, your very obedient servant, "John Godfrey, solicitor. Francis A. Hamilton, 7, Chapel-street." The following letter was sent by Mr. Holme in reply to the foregoing 10, Benson-street, Liverpool, Aug.

22, 1857. Mr. Samuel Holme begs to return the enclosed letter to Mr. Godfrey, as he perceives from reading the first few lines that it has reference to a case which will come before the magistrates in their judicial capacity. Mr.

Godfrey must know that if any complaint is made it muBt be in open court, and when tbe party complained against will have an opportunity of replying to suoh complaint. Mr. Holme must also objeot to reoeive or read in his private capacity a letter which is addressed to "the licensing magistrates," but sent outwardly directed to him. If Mr. Godfrey wisheB to address the magistrates, the proper channel ib by enclosing his letter to the Mayor or through the magistrates' olerks.

Mr. Holme cannot recognise exparte statements; and he must express his surprise that such an unfair method of prejudicing the mind of any magistrate should be resorted to by a legal practitioner, who ought to be well aware of its impropriety." The only objection which was made was by Mr, Raffles, barrister, against some new premises attached to the Queen's Hotel, in Lime-street but that was overruled, and a license allowed. The ceurt resumed its sittings yesterday at the Se8sionB-house. Chapel-street. Messrs.

Jeffery, Turner, Haywood, Benn, and Romilly presided during the course of the day. In the case of the application by Mrs. Cobham for the renewal of a license, Mr. Godfrey appeared to oppose, but on objection taken by Mr. Bremner the magistrates decided that Mr.

Godfrey had no locus standi in the court, and the license was therefore renewed. The court adjourned until Monday next. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT. BEFORE J. S.

In this case, Mr. Segar, barriBter, instructed by MessrB, Fronois and Almond, appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr. Brett, barrister, instructed by Mr. Hoby, for the defence. In opening the case, Mr.

Segar said he believed that on a former occasion when thia nann famo hafaw. tli n.

The learned counsel then proceeded briefly to recapitulate the facts of the last application, when his Honour nonsuited the plaintiffs, as he was of opinion that as trustees only of the Bociety they hod no locus sumdt in that court.

The subject matter of the present aotion involved the legality of oertain acts of iC- Viu i Wi iT meeting tor the 5th of March last, at the Clarendon Rooms, the uui uoaiam mat explicit notice of the intended alterations that was required by law. It was alleged that the plaintiffs protested against such meeting and against aU acts of suoh meetinl, but that notwithstanding such protest the defendants did hold such, and did then and there make sundry alterations some and rescind Beveral other rules that thev did also expend certain large sums of the Bociety's money and were indebted other oonsiderable sums, on account advertising, and other expenses incidental thereto, the whole of which sums the pontiffs in the present case claimed to have refunded! the cou.rt t0 Pass "junction to restrict the defendants from paying any other Bums of money, and from acting upon the rules made and altered at the before- U1VUV1WUVU UIVEUIUi Mr. Rmft nmwi 4-lint ko Hiwwui. position ot tne case the Cfeuaty Conrt hwlnot i the jurisdiction to act: that the vuuti, ui vnancery nad. tne power to issue an injunction to restrain, but only to order an ant to ha Anna 1.

Was secretary of the Bocietv Jbn Bogan and 1 Henry 'Williams were also members of ti society, and with the previous witnesses were toTpresent to Mr. Tidd Pratt, with the rules as drawn up by the committee, and after their return a meeting was held at 'he Clarendon Rooms, at which there were present from IV a 150 Perons, and at which meeting the rules as altered were passed. According to Rule 106, any 50 of a of the society could call a meeting to oon-sider the rules, but no such meeting had been called sinoe Maroh the 5th.

The ordinary annual meeting was held in July, at the Concert Hall, at seven o'olock at night, at which the accounts were passed. Re-examined At the meeting at the Clarendon Rooms all the alterations and new rules were put and carried unauimously. They were all put together. The rules to be expunged were also put together, and not separate. There was a motioa that the rules should be put separate, but it did not pass.

He hS nil-Jr "luuu puree oi caning the meeting at the Clarendon Rooms were perfectly le5alj according to their own rules, and he did not think thV It equity would interfere in suoh a case, unless there waa shown some corrupt and wilfully perverse conduct on the part of the defendants in their altering and rescinding the rules at the meeting in question. The plaintiffs had totally failed to show any malpractices on the part of the defendants, who, indeed, had been appointed as the committee since that meeting, and therefore sinoe the alterations of the rules complained of. He contended that full and ample notice, with sufficient explanation of the proposed alterations, was given ia the advertisements and placards announcing such meeting, and that it was strictly accordbg to the rules drawn out for the guidance of the Bociety.

He also contended that the room at the Clarendon Rooms, where the meeting was held, was sufficiently large to accommodate all the members who felt so far interested as to attend, as was shown by their not removing to a larger room on the same premises, and as also shown by the limited numbers who attended the annual meeting at the Concert Hall. The learned gentle-man concluded by saying that these actions, which aU must regret, were only got up by an exceedingly smalt minority of the society, who wished to over-ride the majority and enforce their own views, though contrary to the interests of the greater number, and be trusted that his honour would their endeavours by eivinn a verdict for the defendants. fa His Honour observed that there were two points to which he had to direct his attention the first being the question as to tho urisdictiou of that court, and the other whether or not the meeting called for and held on the 5th of March was or wa9 not irregular and illegal. He should not then give his decision, but would do no at the earliest possible moment, perhaps on Thursday, but he would let the gentlemen know beforehand. This A.oa ml.i.1.

INDUSTBIAL schools The minutes of this committee having been read, Mr.

Bairatow moved their confirmation. Mr. Denton said that some six months ago he called the attention of the board to the question of continuing the piggeries at the Industrial Schools. He wished to know whether the committee hod taken any steps in the matter. He also asked whether those little hymns used as grace before and after meat at the schools were continued.

He thought the committee ought to abide by their regulations, and enforce their instructions, oc else abandon them at once. Mr, Bairstow replied, that as to the piggery the matter had been taken into consideration. If Mr. Denton had paid attention to the proceedings ho would hare known that the subject had been under the coDsideratioB of the oommittee, and they had resolved not to alter the present system. As to the chanting of the grace, the csmmitteo found from a resolution of the Poor-law Board that grace was to be said, and not chanted.

Tho committee therefore passed a resolution that it bo said, and that all the ohildren be present. The proceedings were then confirmed. FINANCE! COMMITTEE. The minutes of this committee, which included a variety of general details relating to parochial expenditure during the last fortnight, having been read, Mr. Woodruff moved their confirmation.

Rbpusihq to Proceed to Sea. At the Birkenhead Solice court, on Monday last, before W. Jaokson, Neal M'Pherson and John Davis, seamen, were brought up on a oharge of refusing to' proceed to sea in the ship Advance, after having signed articles and obtained advance notes. The ship, whioh was bound on a voyage to Quebeo, had been to sea for a few days but having met with an acoident. she was obliged to tint back, and hod been lying in one of the graving dockB of messTB.

Upon the vessel being again ready for sea, the prisoners left and would not perform their contract, alleging that the ship was short handed. This statement was denied by the captain. The prisoners were committed to gaol for 21 days, with hard labonr. Two "duffers," named Hugh Riley and Hugh Green, were charged with assisting the above prisoners to desert but the oase could not be sustained, and they were discharged with a oaution.

Malcolm Maodonald, of Glasgow, for improvements in washing, bleaching, cleansing, and preparing textile fabrios and materials.

Dated June 12, From Mr. John Davia's LUt, The Liverpool Failures. The failures announced from Liverpool show tbat tbe statements on tho subjeot circulated last week in various journals contained no exaggeration, although, owing apparently to the efforts made by the persons interested to suppress inquiry, they involve some errors of detail. The stoppage of Messrs. Buchanan, Brown, and with liabilities reported at 800,000, is believed to have been caused by tbat of Mr.

Davies, the share dealer, who has left deficiencies to a most serious amount. Buchanan. Brown, and On. produce brokers, with an excellent business, and their losses are inougnr. to ne attrioutaoie to snare speculations.

With regard to the liabilities of Mr. J. H. Hayes, who has suspended in the corn trade, nothing positive seems to have transpired. The forgeries committed by the merohant who is alleged to have disappeared, and who is a member of a most respectable firm, are now variously stated at from 25,000 to 100,000.

It seems a peculiarity of some portions of the Liverpool community that they always repel adverse statements with regard to the peouniary position of any members of their body with a zeal which shows a greater sensitiveness for the reckless speculator than for the legitimate trader. Although it is of the utmost importance to t.Vm straightforward oonduot of business that all instances of the abuse of credit should be exposed, eaoh reference to them is immediately met as a deliberate endeavour to cause misohief. The most extraordinary illustration of this tendency was in the notorious case of Mr. Oliver, where some of the leading merohants of the town affixed their signatures to a notice on 'Change, denouncing the publication of faots whioh they must have had reason to believe to be thoroughly true and soarcely any instancos of large failures have occurred in which the snmo system has not been to some extent pursued. Accordingly during the past week.complaints have been numerous of paragraphs having appeared in the London papers calculated to lead the publio to suppose that there has been in any quarter a difficulty worth mentioning.

Every one should, of course, be anxious to ohock vague alarms, and to keep baok all private information that might possibly interfere with pending efforts to prevent an extension of disaster, but to attempt to conoeal or to give a false colour to faots that have already occurred is not the best method of promoting that end. Times. Wesley an Methodist Tba Party. A tea party and public meeting were held on Monday evening lost, in the schoolroom of the Wesleyan Methodist chacel in Russell- street, to welcome the return to the Liverpool circuit of the Rev. John Peters, who nearly 20 years ago was pastor of that ohapel, and also to bid farewell to the Revds.

James Sayer and William Middleton, who were to take their departure yesterday (Tuesday), in the David G. Fleming, as missionaries to Australia, About 150 persons partook of tea, the proceeds of which are to be applied to the Scotland-road chapel trust fund. After the tables were cleared away, and the proceedings of the evening oommenced with singing and prayer, it was moved and seconded that tne ttev. John Peters take the cbair. Amongst other gentlemen present we observed the Rev.

J. Sayer, Rev. W. Middleton, Rev. D.

Gilbert, of Manchester, Rev. Mr. Buck, Independent minister, and Messrs. R. Lloyd, Thorp, Russell, Harley, Blakeley, Burrows, Quail, The Chairman observed that it gave him no little pleasure to be again appointed on that circuit, where he had been received with so much kindness in past years kindness which he did not doubt would be still extended to him now that time had left its traces indelibly impressed upon him, and though perhaps he might not be found more efficient than in former days.

He trusted that the officers and members of their little community would live together in union and harmony of Bpirit, and that, if they continued to love one another, they would find the path of duty a pleasant path and he hoped that by their mutual endeavours they would escape the rooks, shoals, and quioksands that had shipwrecked so many other religious communities. The Rev. Mr, Gilbert congratulated the members of the Wesleyan Association in Liverpool on the re-appointment of Mr. Peters, who, he doubted not, would be the means of helping many oh tne roao. salvation, jtie ox nor tea ms hearers to be constant in their attendance upon their religious services not to content themselves with going to chapel once a week, but to bear in mind that God was with them always, and that those who were faithful in their pursuit after grace would ultimately reap an eternal reward.

The Revds. Sayer and Middleton, who were warmly reoeived, also delivered feeling addresses. Great numbers of their people had gone before them to that distant land to which it had pleased God to send them, and they trusted with His aid to plant there the foundation or a future great and mighty ohuroh. It wag with feelings of the deepest sympathy that they bade farewell to the members of the United Methodist Free Churches, and thev felt Bure they would be followed by tbe prayers of the whole community. They hoped to be the means of drawing the attention of many from the pursuit after gold, whioh lasiea out lor mis lite, to the pursuit after righteousness, whioh lasted for life eternal.

Several members of the Rochdale community were going out in the same vessel, and they hoped to find many believers already there, waiting to hear the word of the Lord preached in the wilderness; to which end they trusted that, being in themselves weak and wanting in spiritual power, God would shower dawn upon them and all believers tho promised blessings of His word. Several other speakers followed, and the meeting separated after prayers hod been offered up for the safety and welfare of the departing missionaries, whom all wished God speed," English Cholera and Bowel Complaints.

The prisoner, who bad been at work on board ship in the West India Dock, was about to pass out with a basket of tools on Wednesday evening, when he was stopped at the principal entrance by Joseph Freeman, a dook constable, who found upon him three small bottles of brandy. He was taken back to the ship in whioh he had been employed, and the mate missed a large bottle of brandy, whioh the prisoner had poured into the smaller ones found upon him.

The prisoner said he was a teetotaller, and did not mean to drink the brandy. He did not knaw what made him touch it. He was very sorry for what he had done. The prisoner's employer, living at No. 28, Woodstock-road, the prisoner was a man of good charaoter, and he bad never known him to be guilty of dishonesty before.

Mr. Corrie said as he hod received a good character he would not treat him as a felon this time, but fine him 10s. for the unlawful possession of the brandy found upon him. The fine was paid. Funeral of Lady Stanley.

Yesterday morning, the funeral solemnities of the late Lady Stanley took plaoe at the ancient parish church of Eastham. Her ladyship died on Saturday last, at her residence, Haggerston Hall, in the county of Northumberland. She was the widow of the late Sir Thomas Stanley, of Hooton Hall, where the family resided for many generations, until it passed into the hands of its present possessor, R. C. Naylor, Esq.

The body was conveyed by railway from the residence of the deceased, and brought to the Sutton station. It was thence transferred to a hearse in waiting to reoeive it. Two mourning coaches were also in attendance. These were appropriated to the near relatives and friends of the deceased. Amongst those present were Mr.

Charles Stanley, of Denholl, and other members of the Stanley family. The funeral cm-ttge proceeded at a slow pnee to Eastham Church. The body was then removed to the churoh, and after the usual funeral service had been read it was deposited in the family vault.

The African Race, Lecture. Last night, at Hope Hall, a very interesting lecture was delivered by Professor William G. Allen, a coloured gentleman, from the Central College of New York, on The origin, hiBtory, characteristics, condition, and probable destiny of the African race." The chair was taken by John Cropper, and there was a limited but highly respectable audience. The Chairman, in introducing Mr, Allen to the meeting, said he was a man of education, who had suffered greatly in America from the prejudice against colour, and had been obliged, in consequence of that prejudice, to leave. Professor Allen then proceeded with his lecture, and from the eloquence and learning which he displayed-in dealing with tbe subject appeared to take the audience completely by surprise.

He took a Scriptural view of the origin of the Ethiopians, Egyptians, other races of ancient Africa, arguing that they were descended from tbe four sons of Ham and showed from classic authority the high civilisation to whioh they had attained when Greece was yet barbarous, and before Rome arose. Herodotus had spoken of the Ethiopians as remarkable for their stature, longevity, and physical beauty and although in the eyes of the white man they were not remarkable for the latter quality at present, the influence of adverse circumstances and of oenturies of oppression Bhould be taken into account. There was Boaroely a race, he showed, on the face of the earth, which had not declined in intellectual power aud physical beauty under-the same influences, and in the mediajval ages, when Englishmen were sold as slaves, they were described by their purchasers, the Irishmen and Romans, as ugly and stupid. The lecturer then dwelt more particularly upon the leading characteristics of the African race, their religious tendency, and the predominance of the moral over the intellectual in their character the affeetionateness of their disposition, their love of humour, Ho gave many weighty hits at Anglo-Saxon oivilisation, which told well with the audience, who appeared very much delighted. He was listened to with deep attention, and loudly applauded.

We believe it is his intention to deliver a second and more elaborate lecture on the same subject, when all who go may rely upon a really intellectual treat. Fatal Railway Acoident. On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Railway Hotel, South-gate, respecting the death of Mr. George Cox, aged 63 years, the well-known publisher, of Bedford-street, Covent-garden, who wag accidentally killed when alighting from a train at the Southgate station of the Great Northern Railway, on the evening of Thursday last.

After viewing the body, the usual evidence of identification was about to be taken, when an unexpected difficulty presented itself, as the unfortunate gentleman's head had been completely smashed. His clothes were, however, identified. It appeared from the statements made by several witnesses tbat Mr. Cox, in addition to his publishing business, was superintendent of the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. At the moment of his death he was in tbe enjoyment of excellent health, but rather hard of hearing.

a He left London for Southgate by the ten minutes to eight evening train, from King's-cross, arriving at the former station at about twenty minutes past the hour. The train had overshot the platform, and the deceased, bejjgving it to have Btopped, opened the carriage to get out. Unfortunately, however, as ho was standing on the step, the carriage began to move, and in his endeavours to leave it he fell on the rails with his head towards the wheels, several of which passed ever it. As the train was backing, the driver immediately stopped tbe engine, and two carriages being uncoupled, the deceased gentleman was extrioated, but life was quite extinct. The head was so shockingly crushed and broken that all his features were totally obliterated death must have been instantaneous.

Several witnesses spoke to the foot of tho train overshooting the station, and added that they did not hear any whistle, but npon cross-examination by Mr. Humphrey admitted that the whistle might have sounded without their hearing it. It was also stated that the passengers opened the carriage doors for themselves. None of the witnesses heard any caution about remaining in the carriages whilst the train was being backed to the platform. James Beaufort, the engine driver, said that having overshot the station he sounded the danger whistle for the guards to put on tho breaks, and he immediately reversed the working motion and having come to a stop, he again sounded the shrill whistle for the guards to take the breaks off the wheels again.

The train began to move backwards to the platform instantly. George Bailv, the fireman, and William Page, the head guard of the 'train, corroborated the engine driver's statement, the guard adding that he called out to tbe passengers to keep the doors shut, as the train was backing to the platform. The inquiry wan adjourned for the production of further evidence. Coughs and Consumption. Martin's excellent Balsam of Horehonnd and Aniseed la recommended by the first physicians in the kingdom.
