    HULL , SERiors Accident on the Hull and Selby Railway . —On Monday , an accident of a very serions nature occurred en the Hull and Selby Railway , in the depot at Hull , on the arrival of the Leeds , and York half-past five o " clock train . The circumstances of this accident , as related to us by an eye-vritnes ? , were as follow : —On the arrival of the train at the gates opposite to the en 4 of Manor House-street , the engine , as is ufual , was detached from the carriages , and proj ceeded at a quiet rate to that part of the line where j the pointers are , and ¦ where the rails branch off on each | Bide , When it Was turned on to the northernmost line . The train , which -was almost immefiiately after the ! engine , was , by means of the pointers , turned on to tLe ¦

    ' second line , running parallel with , and on the south ! aide of the Une upon which the engine had gone . As . soon as the train had got upon the second line , it was : evident that the impetus which bad been given to iu speed prior to the engine being detached was much too i great , and that , unless it was immediate l y stopped , it would go with great force against the partition wall at , the end of the depot The guard , who wa 3 in cue of 1 the carriages , having no power to stro the train , ! it accordingly dashed with great violenc 9 against and : broke down the wall—the first carriage passing com-! pletely through , as far as the passare , on one side of

    | which the -waiting offices are situated- The only serious ' , injuries which Lave been receirrd from this concussion t are in those of three men , viz : —the guard of the train , a fireman named George Tiylor , in the employ of the i Hull and Selby Railway Company , and a passenger , named Morgan . Tbe injuries of the guard were prinj cipAlly confined to the kcee , which , from the violence ; of the shock , broke through the buffer of the carriage ! upon which he was seited . Taylor's thigh waa broken i in a serious manner , and three of the fingers were i taken oS the rigM hand of tr . e other person—Morgan . ' Soiue other passengers in the train Were also slightly ! braijeJ , by being thrown from one side of the carriage to

    I the otner , from the violence with which the train came ! in contact with the walL The guard and Morgan were : taken to their own residences , where medical attendance J was rendered . Taylor , the fireman , was conveyed to i the Infirmary , acd every attention given which the : serious nature of the injuries required . It is scarcely . uec > -&sary to state that the first carrwge was shattered ¦ to pift ^ ts , anil som ? of the others broken , though not ¦ so as co be unserviceable . There can be no doubt tha . t , : had the guard possessed the means of checking the spaed of . the train , by means of what are called

    •• breaks , " < which are generally attached to railway carriages , and subject to the control of the guard , ) this = cci-lent would not have occurred . Waetner , in this instance , there were any " breaks" affixed to the carri : ^ gr * , or tie guard ' s inability to step the train , arose from his being out of his proper place , we are unable » state . We learn that the three persons above stated to l < e senons . ' y injured are now out of danger , and in as fair a way of recovery as c-in be expected . We atao are iniormeii that there can bo no censure applied to the guara , as there were no "break , " on any of the carnages in the train .

    HAJJFAX . VESTRY . MEETING AT T 1 IE PARISH CHURCH . — The rate-payers of this town were noticed by placards last week that a meeting would be h « ld in tue Vestry of tho Parish Church , rtsptsting the introduction of the rural polioe into this district , in order to memorialise the magistrates to influence them , if possible , not to introduce the offensive force . It was called at twelve o ' clock at noon , on Thursday , the 3 rd instant , at which time it was moved that Mr . Hoyland take the chair , and on the usual ceremony beiDg passed , the business of the meeting was then entered into , and Mr . Johnson prefaced tLe resolution with a speech of marked moderation

    and respect with regard to the authorities , and ventured an opinion that they would hold in respect the deliberate opinions of the rate-payers If respectfully expressed ; and that , as a body , tuey would not be found introducing so unconstitutional a force into the town against the decision of a vestry meeting . He read the resolution , which expressed an opinion , that the present constabulary force of the town -was quite adequate for all the necessary purposes ofpreserv . ng the peace of the town , without incurring additional expenses , which the new force contemplated was sure to introduce , and concluded by meviug it Mr . Fawihrop presented himself to the meeting , and during his address , gave a number of details relative to

    the very serious amount of charges Wllicll Would be visited upon the rate-payers , should the rural police be introduced ; and he had made a calculation of the number of inhabited householders in the parish , taking the town ' s books for bis guide , and ho found , tuat it "would average two shillings per head upon every family , supposing them to consist of tlYd persons eauli , whicu would be an increase upon the rates of ten shillings ptr year for each huuseuolder to pay in addition to the other rates , in support of a force wliicu it was quite unnecessary to introduce , as Halifax was one of ihe must peaceable towns in the country . During tLe time Mr . Fawthrop was addressing them , the vestry became crowded , suid iui adjournment took place into the yard , when he again resumed his speech ,

    adverting in very strong terms on certain parties who had received public confidence , and had done nothiug but deceive them in return for it , thereby rendering themselves unfit to be trusted on any public emergency , and ought to be secured to prevent them fr 6 m doing mischief as they were sure to deceive them . He said the New Workhouse had cast . £ 12 . 000 , and the paupers were costing two shillings per head without keep , whereas they used to keep them for half-a-crown altogether ; and that now we were paying more for killing tteni , by some hundreds a year , than we formerly did for keeping them . The rates , tbongh nominally less , was raising more en the new valuation than th--y did on the old , by one-third or thtrt-abouts , whilst everything else was going on the wrong way . He would bet a vrager that the healthiest aud strongest man amongst the supporters ^ f the New Workhouse , if placed there and fed in the same way as the paupers , with tie idea of bt-ing confined there for life , would die

    in less than- twelve months . At the conclusion , he seconded the motion , which was carried' unanimously . A memorial to the magistrates was moved by K . Wilkinson , wtdch was founded on the resolution , and earned vrithjut a dissentient v ^ ice . In supporting the memorial , Mr . W . showed the evil consequences likely to attend the introducing of the police , independent ot ' the financial considerations which had been taken by the previous speakers , and said it was a question of must serious import to the rate-payers , for ii the magistrates introduced one hundred and twenty policemeu , it would require a certain number of the military to protect them , and that would also add to the expen > e ; but ha thought nothing of the sort was required .

On his return home he learnt that four men had come to the house , one ordered a mutton chop , another called for a particular paper , and the third sent the servant and landlady in various directions to distract their attentionwhile one of the thieves , it is supposed , proceeded to the bed-room and carried off the money . There were watches , plate , and other valuable property in the room , but , nothing else was carried off . The party . ono of whom took a glass of brandy before he left , shortly afterwards quitted the house , but the robbery

    was not discovered till Sunday morning . On examining the trunk , it was found that thu lock had been forced , the various articles tumbled about , aud the above large sum abstracted . Mr .

The notes have been all stopped at the Bank this morning .

Although their crime waa suspecred at tne time , they could not be brought to justice , because the witnesses had been afraid to depose aa to all they knew . They had at last , however , come forward , and delivered their evidence . One of them deposed that , being on the night of tao murdtT sea'ed under the heugo of the garden of the deceased while ' tending some horses at . pasture , he ov « rheard the brothers plotting the murder during which of them said

    one , " I could very well kill our father , but I should not have courage to kill our mother . ' To t his the other replied , "Well , for my part , I am ready to kill them both . " This testimony being corroborated by other circumstances , no donbt ot their guilt could be entertained , aud the jury returned a verdict accordingly , but with extenuating circumstances , and the parricides , instead of receiving capital punishment , were only sentenced to hard labour for life at the hulks . The latter part of the finding , no doubt , arose from the feeling so general in Franee against the infliction of the peualty of death in any case , however atrocious .
