' Wekavft received the London journals of Thursday , the Sun ( evening paper ) inclusive . Owing to the tempestuous state of the weather no foreign jaafihad arrived ap to the hoar the San went to press , and we are consequently unable to add any iJiiag to the important intelligence from France stained in cor columns this week . We can give so farther particulars of the trial of Madame laforge for the same reason . We subjoin extracts from these journals : —
THE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MIDLAND ' RAILWAY . The following is to the present time the result of this unfortunate accident : — M . A- Deneux , killed . Mr . J . H . Wright , solicitor , London , spine injured , and bow lying in a very dangerous state , it beinK yery doubtful if he will recover . 3 ir . G . Jones , leg broken . Shaw , ( Guard ) , hip broken . A female , collar-bone broken .
( The two last earned are doing well . ) Immediately on the accident being made known at -fte station in Derby several gentleman connected -with , the railway visit ed the scene , in order to render . every assistance wkieh the Company had it ia their power to offer . The utmost attention is paid to the sofferers , and we believe , if we exoept Mr . Wright there is eTery reason to hope that the others injurec will speedily recover . An inquest was held on the body of M . Deneux yesterday ( Tuesday ) , before Mr . Mozley , jan ,, coroner , and a very respectable jury , at the Amber Gate Sttiion , when , after a patient and minute investigation , a verdict was returned of " Accidental Death , in consequence of the breaking of an axle . " No deodand was levied . —Derby Mercury .
Amhocgh "sns have no French mail or express from Paris as yet , the British funds continue buoyant , owing to a report late yesterday afternoon , ihat the French funds came much higher . The boisterens state of the weather during last" night , and more particularly so oa our coast , it is feared ' trill prevent us from receiving any intelligence from Paris this day . —Sun . No iccooTS have as y « t been received of the arrb-al of the President , from New York , and as it is now 17 d * ys sines she started for England , some anxiety has been excited among the merchants ueafine with the United States . —Sun ,
Repeal of the Umon . — " It is true , " says the Dab&n Evening Patkei , " that five of the twenty--five Dublin Aldermen—Whiteford , Baker , Perrin , Hyodman , and Hodges , have expressed themselves anxious for a Parliament in College Green—but what of that ? They will no : join DanieL If , howe-rer , a Roden , or a Verner , or anv other influential Protestant shall beeome a Repeal leaser , the fiye Aldermen may prove a host . " The fire Aldermen Bamed by the Evening Bucket , who are thus to form
a nucleus oi _ a repealing ' * ho&t , " are dir . inauished amongst their brethren by an uncompromising de-TOtedness to the old municipal gvstem , bow happiiv tottering on its last legs . They are at the head of the 2 * o Surrender men of the Corporauon—the friends ¦ of Professor Bntt and of Bishop PhiUpotts , the party , par excellence , who boast of themselves , and whose friends in Parliament and in the press are ¦ eternally crying them up , as the onlv sure and steadf&ss supporters of British connexion . —Chronicle .
The MraDE * at Wigax . —Recaitu £ b op A 5-D 2 BTOX . —We are able to announce the re-ca-pt \ iTe of Anderton , -who , h will be remembered , was in custody as the Town Hall , Wig&n , on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Mr . Coukcn , and -who ¦ escaped thence by fifing Ms irons , sa . an early hour in the morning of Friday , the 4 th in > t&ut . If seems that Heath , one of the Wigan police , having ascertained that a b « y , a nephew of the prisoner , knew his hiding place , induced the lad t # -accompany him thither . Accordingly they proceeded , accompanied hy two of the county constabulary , t « * farm-ion * " , at Hart Common , West Houghtonl about four mil&i -from Wig&iij « id close to the residence of Mr . John
Hamreavw , lessee of the goods tnffic on the Bolion * nd L « igb . Ra& » ray . Tire policeman , on entering the preoiaee , detained all the inmates in one place , whilst they prosecuted their search through the house and farm offices . After some time thus spent ¦ wiihoat success , they at lesgth proceeded to the hayloft , and found Anoerton concealed several feet under the hay , aSteall aperture having been made through it : o iis face , to enable him to breathe . He wore a night-cap , bat Lad neither coat nor f ^ hoes on ; 2 ad hk shoes were Sound near him - £ oite wet . Ill " nis pockets were found some turnips aad a file ( with which in all . probability he ha-i succeeded in freeing himself from iis irons ) . His beard was much grown
, and , to all appearance , he bad net been shaved since his escape . Whether he had been in concealment in the place where ha was discovered -during the tea days tba > n * ve elapsed since hi 3 escape we have net ascertained . He as stated to look much worse in every respect than he did ten da $ s ago . He was escorted to Wig&n in a cart , and reached that town about half-pass three o ' clock yesterday afternoon , pacing through a concourse of thousands of spectators , who evinced the greatest satisfaction to his ie-cap ; ure . He was conveyed ssa n xo the Town-Hali « where he remains in custody heaviiy ironed , ami under a strong guard . We understand that i farther examination of the prisoner will taie place Siiis morning , beforet&a magistrate ? . at Wi ? an .

Harper ' s return from Dublin , where he has gone for the . jmrpose of making further inquiries . It has been ascertained that Murray purchased a watch on the < laj after the murder , for 30 s , in Liverpool : also that ' on bis arrival in Dublin he spent about four posads in payment for a stock of hardware , which it was hi 3 intention to have carried about the country for sale .

fiXTENSITE ROBBERY OF THE FRENCH . i- TREASURY . o S ^ A ^ f *^^* " ^ ° ftheSieur Matheo with nearly ^ uwj . oao of franos , abstracted from the Treasury of i £ ance , gave rise to great public wandal in the year mzi . Matheo was in the same year condemned bv default to twenty years at the galleys , and to pay thesnmof 400 , t ) 00 francs , and enter into Becurity to the amount of 100 , W 9 francs . Matheo was rccentiy arrested at Wurtemberg , with the consent ortae Wurtemberg Government , and on Saturday Sein ^^ &iea &t the Coan of A 6 s 5 ks of tae Onbeing introdncedby the guard , he stated , in answer w the President , that he was born at Mayence , Uiat he was Eixty years of age ,-and resides at Stutgard as a professor of languages . The act of accusation was then read , from which it appeared , that in December , 1817 , Matheo was appointed cashier of the specie in the Royal Treasury in situation
ip a vas ; deal of specie passed through ms hands . Not content with this lucrative office , « J devoted himself to commercial speculations , ¦ recently he announced to hi 3 acquaintances that in taese he had been extremely successful ; and he commenced an excessive system of expenditure , which was maintiined by embezzlement upon an enormous scale . On the 21 st of November , 1820 , he received -from the Director-General of the Transfer Depart-? " ¦* **? order to P ^ into the Bank the sum of o 00 , 000 f . But the large sums which he had subtracted from the Treasury rendered this impossible . Un the 2 2 nd of November he presented himself at the lreasnry at nine o ' clock , according to custom . Before ten o'clock struck he left the office , leaving a letter behind him for M . Piscatory , central cashier , 0 y Which he excueed himself from attendance on the ground of ill health . Matheo did not anoaar 101 ™
f ™ jK »« < ky ; the key of his stroDg box had been lett by him in the possession of the porter of the lreasury . At three o ' clock , Matheo not appearing an examination was ordered to be made ; and the result of this was to discover that he kad embezzled /^ . v ?^ c faDds t 0 llie amount of I , 860 , 0 u 0 f ., ( £ < 4 , 000 rterlinjO . In this sum was include * jJ 33 , o 0 of . ( £ 3 , 000 ) subtracted by him on the day of uis disappearance . < After the prisoner had undergone a long examinationthe
, President described the style of magnificence in which the accused had lived ; in a splendid house with seven or eight horses in his stable , keeping no fewer than three mistresses , and having a splendid country house at Charonne . Upon this latter house alone he had laid out 100 , OC 0 f ., furnishing and . decorating it in a style of the utmost magnificence . Your luxury and monstrous expenditure ( add&d the President ) aft « r mining you , led you to ihe commission of the crime with which you staud chanied .
Prisoner—Speculations in the funds caused my rain . President—This did not make your guilt the less . Public functionaries cannot , without acting criminaily , n . ake use of the tuuds of the State to forward their speculations in the funds . The Prudent further mentioned the fact thai Matheo , while a . Wortemberq , had been condemned to two yca s and a half imprisonment , with hard labour , for forgery . Tv « -entj-seven witnesses were called to sustain the charge , but eleven of them were deceased ; two , in consequence of extreme age , were incapable of presenting themselves in Court ; eight could not be found ; Six only ware examined , and fully bore on ; the statements in the act of accusation .
- > jL&thoo was found guilty , and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment with hard labour , and to the payment of a sum of 200 , 000 francs .

SAB . NSLS-7 . State op Trass . —There is a partial revival of the drill trade at present , but the reduction in wages is from ten to tweiuy per cent , upon the wajfes of last season , and a still further reduction of fifty per cent , upon labour through the means of bad materials . The linen yarn now using in this town is of the very worst description , so much so , that the journeymen are leaving town dail y and going into the North and elsewhere to weave nop bEgjjing , or whatever they may get to do . If tie Cockneys would only get i&dian grass , and get some of their fancy mat-mikers to "sveave it into drill patterns , it would be a more durable ar . icle than the linens now manufactured in this wretched tovra ^ and if the
linen-drapers of Bread-street , and St . Paul ' * Yard , in London , were to know the stuff that is puffed out to them as a go&d article , they would turn our Barna-Iey _ Kentltin ^ Q from their doors as a k&uk of swindlers . We vriil instance one of the most respectable firms in the town . Last year , they ( : he weavers ) had two pounds a-cut for their work : this i ^ st-aso-a it is nartv-two Ehiliing ? , and will take pat leas ! five days lunger in the working of it than it ! wonld last season , through the badness of the mate-! rials ; and , when remonrtrate-d with , he in reply ' -seated he was forced to do so in Fclf-defe 5 . ee , otherj wise he ootld get no market for his goods , because Taylor was underselling him 25 per cent . Now , *; ood readers , mark ; this work will occupy a man I 16 or 1 " days ia the performance thereof , and each . day 16 honrs , so that a man '? wayes will not uvrrage i more than nine shiliiugs per week ( for the weaver ^' J shilling here ie oniy ten-pence ) and this in a town j where butter is 17 d . per lb ., beef mnaTd . to 8 d . per
lo ., and everything in proportion . O ' . what 1 ungrateful creatures rhese weavers are , that do not I tamely sit dovn and acquiesce in the wholesale j robbery of their labocr , and the swindling of the j public . Were you to see these wouhies on the loih of August of last year , hunting down poor-Chartists for daring to assert their rights , and protect theinj- selves , by due representation , from the foul asrgres-1 sions of these manufacturers , who with sabre in hand scoured the streets , and finally dragged poor I iudnstrious men from their homed , aad consign tnem ' to dismal dunged !? , for the = ake cf protecting pro-; t « cting property ., you would really imagine ihev j were truly hones :. But , ala «! it is * otherwise , anil > after this season the trade will be wholly out of ihi : town , for they will fi : d no purchaser f « r their rotten ; .-stuff .

Tarporley last night . The communication received was from . Major Tomkinson , a county magistrate , addressed to Mr . Burgess , the governor of Knutsford prison , requesting him to send aa speedily as possible the . person who had been engaged in the investigation of the late murder at Peover ; but Mr . Harper , ( he chief constable , being on the eve of setting put again for Ireland oa business of importance connected with the late murder at Peover , was prevented from proceeding thither . && .

Elopement . —The usual quietness enjoyed by the parish of Lindfieldhas been disturbed for the last few days by the unusual circumstance of an elopement . Tbe fair fugitive is a young lady named Ellcoat , whose parents reside in London , and wlu > had baen placed for her health as a parlour boarder with Miss Baker , the head of a ladies' establishment . Early in the morning of Wednesday week , it was discovered that Miss E . had quitted the house , in company with a female servant in Miss Baker ' s service . They proceeded in a fly , which was awaiting them , to the Blue Anchor , where it ia supposed they . met the gentleman , the captain of a trading vessel , and proceeded in the East Grimstead coach . No tidings have since been heard of them . The
intelligence was immediately communicated to the lady ' s parents , whose distress may be imagined . v \ hat makes the case the more distressing , is tha fact that the young lady was deformed , and doubtless the chief object of the seducer is the fortune ( about £ 1 , 500 ) to which she will be entitled oa becoming of age , in November next . The servant who accompanied her took away eereral articles of dresa belonging to Miss Baker , and also the gold ring of a young lady of the establishment . It is but justice to add , that not the least blame attaches to the lady with whom the imprudent runaway waa placed .-rBrighton Herald . Fatal Railway Accident . —On Sunday forenoon , the up-train on the North Midland Railway , which
is due at Derby at 11—45 morning , met withalamentablo accident upon approaching the Amber Gate station . Severalof the second class carriages were , either by the breaking of an axle , or , aa it is believed by sooie persons , in consequence of a projection of one of the plates at a joint , thrown off the rails just at the time the traiu was passing over a bridge , and a guard named Sbaw was precipitated over the parapet , a considerable distance , by which his hip was put out , and . great injury received across tho belly . Oae of the carriages contained three gentlemen , one of whom was a French merchant , ami he being at the time asleep , was unconscious of hia danger , and was pitched through the window , fell under the carriage , and was killed on the spot . The
other two escaped by clinging to the opposite sido of the carriage . Such was the force of the concussion , that the strong couplings to the engine were broken away . One of the bodies of the carriages was broken into chips . The wheels and axle guards of another carriage completely stripped off , aud th © wheels' of a third carriage carried away . Those would have been driven off the embankment , but from fchs circumstance of the third class carriages having been drawn across the line in such a manner as prevented it by acting as a drag upon - them ; the couplings in this case fortunately held good . Tne copiiigs of the parapet wall were likewise driven away . The train consisted of eleven carriages , but fortunately , they were lightly lbadened . othexwiw
the . Ioas of lite might nave been much more dre «; ifu ) . The engine received no injury , therefore proceeded onward , to Derby , from whence every possible assiatauce was immediately dispatched . Another Accident on the Eastern Cocntijss Railway . —Yesterday evening , between the hours of four and five o ' clock , an aocident occurred ou the above railway , by which four of the . passengers by one of the trains were thrown out , and received such injuries that two of them are in a state of tho greatest danger . . It appears that the Romford traiu left theterminii 8 in Shoreditch at about four o'clock in the afternoon , stopping on its way at the station in Devonshire-street , Mile-end , where having takeu in passengers it proceeded on its journey . Five or six
minutes after the above train left Shoreditch one of the Stratford trains started from the same place , and it appears on tbte £ ime line of rails . This ttaiu , it s stated , Was behind its time , and the engineer ia consequence pat on additional speed ; indeed , to auch an extent , that on its reaching Old Ford , near Bd \ v , Middlesex , it cstme up with the Romford train , which , as above stated , had left London a few minutes before , and was not proceeding at so fasta rate as . the one behind it . The engineer of the Stratford train beiDg unablo at the moment to check the power of the steam , or , at any rate , not iu time to prevent a collision : the engine ran with great violence against tho carriages of the Romford train , literally , dashing ono of the third class opou vehicles to atoms ¦
. Four of the passengers , who were seated in th 6 third clas 3 carriage , were thrown out with considerable force on the line , three of whom were found to bo in a senseless couditiou—the fourth was not so much hurt . The two who were seriously injured were conveyed to the London Hot ^ iuii , Mile-end-road , and the other two remained at oue of the railway stations for throe or four hours , but not being much hurt , at the end of that time were able to walk home . The names of the unfortunate sufferers who lie in the hospital arc—James Mason , a mechanic , living at No . 7 , Abbey-street , Bethnalgreen ; broken leg and dislocated shoulder . And John Perry , an elderly man , living at the Grapes public-House , Vine-court , Union-street , Spitalfieids ; head and face cut open , and right leg fractured .
