THE MINERS ' UNION .
A Public Meeting Of The Earl Of Balcarre...
A public meeting of the Earl of Balcarres ' s men was held at Aspul Moor , near Wigan , on Monday morning lost , on acoeunt of Mr Poaree , his lordship ' s agent , reducing the colliers' wages ten per cent . This reduction in tho workmen ' s wages is very different treatment from what miwht have been expected after the great promises made in the speeches delivered a few weeks ago at tho festivities and re * joicing at Haigh Hall , so much paraded in the local papers in the neighbourhood . The men are beginnine to think they are to pay dear for the dinner his lordshi p gave them on Monday , July 31 st , as well as tbe smiles so graciously bestowed by tbe Earl , Lord
Lindsay , , and the ladies . « We were particularly struck with the kind and affable manner in which his lordship , and his family , treated the servants ; his lordship walked among tbe crowd , ever and anon recognising some old and faithful servant , who had entered <* n the employment of his noblo master in his childhood , and had grown grey in that service . Never did we see an employer who appeared to reign . -to completely in the hearts of his men , and well does he merit all the devotion they can show . Would that all onr nobles were like the Earl of Baloarres , England would then be a happy land , and all her ¦ ons would bo blest . The benevolence of this noble family is far beyond any of our humble attempts at praise . It may be truly said , that it is their
wish' That not a tear or aching heart Should in the land be found . ' Thus says the lickspittle who does the reporting for the Preston papers ? Previous to the present reduction there were colliers working for 1 « . 61 . or 2 i . per day . If the press of Lancashire was honest would not this act of tyranny and spoliation have been held up t > pnblio execration , as it richly deserve s ? It is not many months since the men were graciously treated to a reduction of fourteen percent .
Certainly England would be a happy coontry if every employer had done as this benevolent family has done , taksn twenty-four percent , off tbe poor halt starved colliers in their employ , but , however , the colliers are determined not to receive any more of this noble family ' s benevolence . It has had the ef feet of driving the men to their union again : on Saturday Isst three lodges were established , and a great number of members enrolled . The Miner * ' Association is spreading fast in al ' the principal districts in Lancashire .
A special delegate meeting of . miners was held at the Farmers' Arms , Daraside , Daroey Lever , near Boltoo . on Thursday last . Mr James Jcnkinson in the chair . Delegates were present from roost of tbe surrounding collieries . John Lyon , James Jenkinson , and George Lomax were appointed to wait upon all the masters in the impounding districts , to ascertain from them what plans they wieh to be adopted with the view oi benefitting both masters end men . Each delegate was requested to bring one penny per member to the next meeting , to be held on Thursday ,
On the same day , at six o ' clock ia tho evening , a public open air meeting was held ou the space of ground fronting the above Inn . Mr George Lomax , ft 0 "a Radcliffe brid ge , presided . Mr D . Swailc-ff spoke aft greit lengthen various subjects connected wi t h tbe Miners ' Association . The meeting was well attended , and much good has resulted from holding tho meeting . Every one of Mr Thomas Flit-her'Hrnen . tbirty-eiehi of the Lidyshore colliers , and some ot Mr Knowles' men have joined , in Little-lever ; also tho Cemnany ' s men ; besides numbers in Darcey-lever .

Snoat Rr Whams Is The Cromarty Firth.—On...
SnoAt rr Whams is the Cromarty Firth . —On the afternoon of Monday , the 28 . h ult , the peaceful village of Saitburn , near Invergorden , was thrown into considerable excitement by the sudden appearance of a large shoal of b > itlenosed whales performing their gambols at & short distance from tbe shore . One of the villagers , who was fortunate enough to have all his wits about him in this unlooked-for visit ation , having hurriedly mustered a strong force well armed with muskets , hatchets , and pitchforks , boldly rowed into the very heart of the assemblage , and in a few hours succeeded in bringing nineand-twentyof them to land . A few of the multitude of spectators , e timul a ted b y Joe ' s example , and" encoura g ed by hi e success , wisely judging the occasion no timo for idly
looKing on , ea g erl y joined in the sport , and after many ' hair-breadth ' scapes ' and a world of trouble , contrived to secure as much of the spoil as made the entire number captuied ferty-five . Some of them measured eighteen feet in length . On Tuetday morning , what with the tossing and heaving of the dying monsters , the bustling activity of the . blubbercutters , and the . crowds of visitors from the sur / oundiag country , the shore presented an unusual scene of animation . Being divested of all their fat , the carcases were carted off by the farmers in the neighbourhood for manure . About sixty large casks containing the blubber , are to be shipped for tho south , and it is hoped the i roceeds will be such as to remunerate the owners for their labour and risk . These whales do not contain much oil , but still the capture on this occasion is of considerable value . We understand that seven of them were left ashore on the
panda of Nug , but none on the Cromarty side of the firth . On the succeeding evening , several of these monsters passed up the firth , and were stranded on the bank of the south channel at Fowiis Point , when a numbsr of persons set to work , and seven were brought to land . On Wednesday evening , afiother lotcamouptoArdullio Point , and twelve were secured in the small haven to tbe westward , measuring from eleven to sixteen feat in length . This , the last of t he sh o al , occasioned a regular turn out of the people of Dingwoll and neighbourhood , who hied in alt modes of conveyance to see these wonders of the deep—a similar sight never having been wifcne ?« d in this quarter . The battle-nose whale is frequently 8 ; en at Cromarty , but never farther ud—o ? in such numbers as on the preienfcoccasion . Theshoal must have consisted of hundreds , for while about seventy were taken in al ) , large numbers escaped to their ns .

Emigration. 10 S, Waicott, Elq, London, ...
EMIGRATION . 10 S , WAICOTT , ElQ , London , July 31 « t , 1818 . Sib , — The object of tho present letter Vs ton quest of your kindness an answer In writing , to the fallowing questions . I h & ve beta aiked by a respectable gentlemanj tbe real cause why I have been refused a pass to Australia ; I never could ascertain the real causomyself , therefore I was unable to answer | k . hn , and he requeued me to make one more application , personal , or by letter . Is it because I am an Irishman , or is It because I am forty-elg bt sears of age , or is It because my wife Is Fr e nch , and thirly-six jears of age , or is i t b e cau s e I h av e five ch i ldren , t he old e s t seven and a ha l f ye a r s of
eye , tbe youngest fifteen months , or is it because my case is a special one , and a refugee of France ! When I came to London on tha 24 th of May last , with tbe full confidence of accomplishing this great object , T w a s told by one gentlemen that my case , being 6 special one , required special protection ; by another , t ha t I was too old ; by another , because I was an Irishman ; by another my wife being French , and my children under age ; by another to go to Ireland at being Irish myeel 1 ' , I would be more likely to succeed there . Now , Sir , I w e n t all the way to Dublin with my family , for no other purpose ar motive but the above object , and received the tame an s wer , so I got a memorial signed by the guardians of the Uni- 'U Poorbouse , the mayor and corporation , mem . hers of Dr og bed a , and thirty signatures of the ir . OBt
respectable gentlemen in tbe ceuntlos , of Louth and Meath , and I was recommended by the Lord Lieutenant's under secretary , to forward it to your respectable office , and thst It would suffice . I did so , and waited five dajsior an answ e r , but none cime , and my humble and limited me ma would not psrmit me to stop any longer , se I made an application to tbe British and Irish Steam Boat Company , for a free pass back to London ; it was granted and rations into the bargain . I lost no time in calling at tbe Emigration office , and hid an interview with the secretary . He acknowledged the receipt of the document fn question , but I am sorry to say ho give me no flattering hopes nor a complete refusal . I called next day at N > i . 15 , Park-street , and wat told that I was t oe old , and my family under age , and by another gentlenun , that all the Irish are tent from Dublin . Now , Sir , I beg leavi : to state that at the end of May , and the
beginning of June , I have seen and known hundreds of the refugees from . France teat to Australia , whose ages and families were far more foreign from the rules of emlgratton , than me or my family , and no later than last week there was a family of sixteen ia depot from Lisle , not one of whom came within tho bound of tha emigration rules , nor was their two out of tbe sixteen that bad any practical knowledge of any kind of industry whatever , that could be useful in the colony . Had I not seen and experienced all this , I sboald be very sorry to persevere or trespass' so long as I have done , I was told at the beginning of June , that tha £ 10 , 000 granted by tbe government , to tend the French refugees to Australia , were expended , and if to , may I take the liberty of ashing under what conditions did the above sixteen get a free passage ! Ci--uld not tho same be granted to me , oven on tbe following conditions ! l » t—I offer my service in the ship going .
2 nd , —I offer to pay back all expenses , and f i ve per cent ., if required , 3 rd , —I have testlmoalals and recommendations to most respectable gentlemen at Port Philip , Hanbourton , Sydney , & o ., bo . 4 th , —l understand the agriculture ! department , and am a butcher by trade ; consequently , I understand cattle well , and I have a general knowledge of many Other branches of industry that may be useful In tha colony . 5 th . —l have in contemplation a new system for cleansing ten * . I flitter myself that it would be useful , and save years of time and labour . Csb , —My growing np family is promising U colonise and populate tbe colony , & o , 7 th —I presume the above reasons quite sufficient to my claim for a free passage to South Australia .
Such was the rueanin ; of the publication , and euo ' e were my hopes in earning here . Was tbe government grant speeded only to be for Eogllch artizuia excluslvely ? Nj , it waa stated to bo for British subj « ts turned out of Franc ? . I applied In dua time , and made application the 26 th of May—not only cnjsctf , but three hem . getattetaea , and not being able to ascertain the real cnuie why I hive been refused a free pas * to Australia , sueais mysterious to me end others . Your last answer to me on tho Slat ult , wa « , that you could not spend the public money by ending us to Australia . This answer was very foreign to the question , and far from being satisfactory .
Purmlt me , sir , to inform you , that since I first made application I waa under an immense expense , with a email family ; and what it has cost us since the 26 . h of May would pay our expenses , or support ua above one year at horn ? . We have sold our furniture and our clothes to purchase bread ; wo arc without home , without tm . ploymout , and In debt where wc are lodging . I appeal to the government for dams gee , and to tho public far their opinion that it is a just claim , and an answer will bo thankfully received . I remain , sir , your very truly humble find obedient servant . Mattuiw Fitzf 4 TBIck . Stonoy-strcer , No . 12 , Borough inatket .
The Land Company. To Tbe Editob 07 Toe N...
THE LAND COMPANY . TO TBE EDITOB 07 TOE NOBTHEBN STAB . Sib ,--If tbe Directors of the National Land Company would permit me to suggest my ideas upon buying and selling rights of location or possession , without considering it an undue Interference , it would give me great pleasure ia suggesting them ; though I am confident interferences would be very unwelcome to mo were I placed in tha official department of the directory , and more particu l arly if the intimations were of a uaeloss description .
The enmity new in existence through the various ca . lumnice that have been hitherto levelled tgaiasttbeplan , with bints that it is unlawful , together with tha bad conduct of a forty of non-m titles , denominating tbe . nsclvi s Chartists , is more than sufficient to give power to its en' -mlcs , and to create an insurmountable obstacle , and , unless wise , persevering , and immediate caution be taken to Keltic , it will , unAcubud' . j , bocoeitracd into n faction detrimental to the State , the monopoly of the mar . u facturer , and the nitrrow-mlndtdcessof tho statesman or landowner .
There might be a case of security against unlawful Impediment , should objectionable counts be brought before Parliament . Ifow , a banking company io legal : therefore , could not the Laod Company ba obasged Into a banking company by tbo wisdom of F . O'Connor and his friends ? . E a ch m e mber of t h a Land Com pa n y c o uld become a shareholder in the bank , by depositing his thare la the lani for a sh « re In the bank , an-: ) to receive no Interest more than an advantage of purchasing land . In my opinion , it would increase the Company both in wealth , confidence , and independency . There is no doubt but the Lsnd Company could be changed into a bunking company , and , by means of trustees , F O'Connor would clear himself from a host ot calumniators in every town , and from the troth asO scurrility of editors .
la purchasing rights of possesion , I am confident 8 very great and usiful improver ™ nt could betffecttdby altering that prominent feutureof tho Land scheme is buying an ? selling possession . There ere very few of the roerabere of tho Lind Company but wished to live on tho portion of land that they took in the Gompa'ay , that tftey subscribed to obtaio , If it was two , three , or four acres . Therefore , it Is a great pity that dfprivations should re < ff ct < d by tbo fortunate members selling out of the Company for a large sum of , perhaps , £ 100 , £ 90 , £ 60 , and that even to the enemies of * he Company .

Solera, Its Prevention And Treatment. To...
Solera , its prevention and treatment . TO TUB EDITOB OF THE MOBBING HERAID . Sib , —The lanitary commissioners in their second report , as presented to both Houses of Parliament , having been pleased to speak highly of mj evidence relative to the successful treatment of cholera , I am induced , through the medium of your columns , to offer to the public , in the spirit of that evidence , a f-w remarks as instructions for the prevention and treatment of that disease ; and for sake of brevity I will make the following classification : —
x JFir $ t . — Pretention . —I recommend comfortable and nutritious animal food of the solid kind , warm clothing , an attention to regular hours , free ventilation and cleaalintst , also time uasWnjj the dwellings of tha poor . I advise abstinence from spirituous and ferment * d liquors , from all fruit and raw vegetables , from all salt fish and oysters , tbe latter especially , from ail excesses which debilitate the constitution , and above all things , I deprecate the use of s treng purgative medicines . Second —The Etrly or Premonitory Stage , and its Treatwent , — -So far as my observation txtcndtd in 1832 , I found that spasmodic cholera ( with few exceptions ) was preo .-ded by certain premonitory symptoms , of which dtarrhma or purging was the most prominent , but which symptom was too often overlooked by the person * labouring under the attack . It therefore becomes of vital importance , bow that we apprehend that cholera !• taking the same route towards this country that it did in 1892 , that every case of purging which may cccur in its
should without loss of time bo arrested progress ; fo r so ful ly coavlaced am I of the benefits resnlti 9 g from a proapt attention to bowel complaints , that I believe that tho actual choleric symptoms may in tho majority of cases bo thereby prevented . Tho purging is for the most part accompanied by n ausea and a deposition to vomit , followed by a sense of weight and beat in the stomach , slight cramps in the bowels and legs , great weak , ness , diminished action of tho heart , and coldness of tha surface of the body . It is most necessary to point out to the public , and especially to the poor , such remedies for this , the early stage , as are at their command , and at what prriod of the dlseaw they should be employed . When sickness with derangement of the bowsit is felt , the patient , if en adult , should mix a tablespoonful of saustard , or double that quanti'y of caramon salt , in half a pint of warm water , a third part of either to be taken every ton minutes until free vomiting be produced . After the stemach has been well cleared out with more
warm water , thirty drops of tincture of opium should be given in a giaos of brandy and water , to be followed up with a pill composed of five grains of calomel and two grains of opium for an adult—small doses of these to be taken at intervals of every two hours until bile is observsd to pass la the evacuations , But in the event of children belsg suddenly attacked with bowel complaints of this kind , I recommend one drop of tincture of opium for each year of their age , to be given in sugar and water . They are not to take tho pills alluded to , but if under twelve years of age , then one grain of calomel is t o b e g iven ev e ry t wo hour s , un t il t bo same eff e c t , the passing of bile , be visible in tbe evacuations . Families should also have in readiness a mixture of the following form : —Prepared chalk , half ounce ; white sugar , two
lumps ; cinnamon powder or aromatic confection , two drachms ; opiate confection , one drachm ; sal volatile , two drachms ; tincture of oateohu , one ounce ; cinnamon or peppermint water , half a pint—of which mixture an adultmay take throe table-spoonfuls after each ] dis » rdered motion , and children under twelve years of age one table-tpoonfol I also strongly advise the use of an em . brooation of heated turpentine to be rubbed over the bowels an 1 extremities , to which the addition of one . third part of laudanum would be a most important im . provement , Should the ingredients of this embrocation not be at band , then mustard position ought to be placed over the stomach and bowels ; common
winebottles , or stone-jate , filled wi h hot water end rolled in fhnncl , are also to bs applied to the stomach and feet . If the apartment be at all eligible the patient should not b i removed , but be kept in a perfectly horizontal position , 88 at-y attempt to sit upright might prove fatal . The psdent wilt experience a great relief from the cramps by having a bandage tightly tied around tbe seat of pain . Cramp being one of tho moss distressing symptoms in the diseass , if notresoved by tha preceding means , I can , from ncent experience , speak highly of tbe internal administration of from tsvo to fi'e dr ps of chloroform in a littlo ginger . tea , or any watm fluid , as one of the most efficient agents In amoving choleric
(• jnism . Tftird . — . 27 ie Collapse , or Blue Stage , audits 2 V « alment . —In this stage all tbe powers of life are apparently suspended , in consequence of the intensity of the liquid evacuations , the cramps increase in si-verity , and all lh ) symptoms beconw aggravated . The treatment in this is ns nearly cliiod as possible to that of the early stags , as tho rema ' dips there prescribed Bra now to be given moro frequently and in larger dests . Hero I must call « pon tho attendants to bo unremitting in rubbing in tho turpentine embrocation over the body and ex'mnitice , and to bi < prompt in giving the patien' stimulants , as brandy or whisky mixed in hot water , to which may be added a teaspoenful of tincture cf ginger or of tlnctnro of cap eicum ; and if these be not in readiness , they should glvo one tea-spoeuful of sal volatile instead , until reaction be produced .
Fourth — The Reeovery — It frequently happens that this stage is ushered in by an attcck of fever , when it will become necessary to avoid the use of stimulants , and to have recourse to the com man saline draught , cooling drinks , mild diet of the farinaceous kind , such as arrowroot , s » go , or tapioca mlxe-d with milk . Should the head bo effected and the face flushed , cold lotiens should be applied , nnd leeches to tbe temple ? . In these iantru alone I have endeavoured to adapt tho simplest mode of tspressio & to suit the understandings cf the poorer classes ; and , in conclusion , I again wish to lsoprees upon all persons the necessity of paying prompt attention to tbo slightest approach of diarrheal , as it may be tbo means of saving the lives of thousands , I have the honour to be , sir , Y . ur obedient servant , 50 , Parllamtnt-slreet , N , M Cakn ,
The Wages Of War . (F Rom Tbo Pittsburpl...
THE WAGES OF WAR . ( F rom tbo Pittsburpli Journal ) It was a few days after tho news of Bue-na Vista— 'he very day that tbo mall brought the oflhial list of tho killed and woundei—we were seated * n tho office reading over the names with a tad curiosity , seeking out ' . bote with which wo were of old familiar . M Gee wo remembered well—a dashing , daring , artillery e nicer ; he was in tho third when we knew him . But he married , left tho service , and engaged in business , and at the opening of the war resumed tbe epaulets as C iler . cl of a Kentucky Volunteer Uiglrcent , Btave fellow ! nuno braver fell on that bloody field .
We wire sorrowfully enough engaged by thesethoughtj ¦ when a youKg woman entered tbe office . When we say joung , wa menn under thirty . She had a small girl by tbe hand—a beautiful little creature , about three yetrs old . Both mother and child ( tor such no one could doubt to be their reiat ' . oneUip who observed their foaturc , ) were dressed with extreme neatness , though all the little elegancies of decoration were bestowed upon the eMld . We just looked over tho top ef the paper to noto these particulars , when , having b .-cn directed to us by the cU rk , she cmuo forward to cur desk . We handad her a chair , and , while we endeavoured at well as wo cou'd to sooiho her very apparent agitation , we were Btmjtvhat at a loss to account for lift existence .
Alter a few m ' nuteb' conservation , we die-covered the reason iu the fact that she was a relative cf a soldier in Captain ~—' t company ef artillery . This corps had beaa enjeged , and , we remembered , hid Buffered very sev rely . She had been informed that tho list oi killed and wounded bed arrived , and she hid called to hear some intelligence of bis fate . She wished us to rend over the names . Wo again took up the paper , and proceeded to comply with ber request . We shall never forget the expression of that womau's features as we read . Her egony was terrible . She was uot unUtmdsotr . o * . Vvt . her faco V . ecatne gkaitly pale , and her eye looked unutterable despair rb she find theta upon tho child , who was playhg with a newspaper , nnd laughing joyously in its heedless Innocence . Her lips were colourless , the perspiration started en her forehead , and , as she lifted her band to wipe the largo drops a way , we could see it trembliug ce though paUied .
Tbe presentiment of evil bad already almost broken her feeart , and wo knew that tho relative must be a very
noor on ; . She had avoidedglring usher name , and , so soon as wo found the list , app . tlllng long , which comprised the casualties of th » designated corps , we began to read . We did not know when wo won ! I reach the fatal naroo , if nt all , and at each individual wc lovked inquiringly In tha woman ' s face . She said nothii-g , however , for some timo , and we began to hope that the name was no ' , down , when wc rend—• John — , sergeant , kilied !' Such a scream ] It was the wall of a broken heart , Oaly one—and then as sllU as death . That cry was rli ging 1 b our ears icr a month . We immodiately ran tonard her , but she arose from her chair , motioned us h e r t hanks , and w ' thout a cord left tho office . We had read to her the onnoim « m « nt of her husband ' s death . We did not do much service in the office that day .
The next morning , happenieg down on the wharf , we saw tbe wonun and ber little girl going on board the Cicoinnati packet . Sho recognised us , and we spoke te « her . She was crushed completely . She Lad grown twenty years older in as many hours . She informed us that she had resided ni-. h ber husbnndin New York ; that she was originally from tho West , and , oa hie ctrps being ordered to Mexico , she determined to repair to her friends , and await tbe conclusion of the war . Sho ta 1 boerd of the battle , and knew that C / ptain * s bat . tory had been epgajed , and on ber srrlval at Pittsburgh had been directed to the JouBNit , office for fartl- er infor . mation ' . She arrived the very morning after tho receipt of the list of killed and wounded .
We bade her good byo . She continued her route to girlhood ' * home , bmv d-esslnte , as was nil the world tn her , and we to our daily business , n sadder man inde-. d , The Uttle incident reoordtd above wss recalled to cur mind , on Saturday , by reeding in a Western paper the notice of the death cf 'Esr-aSirnh . widow of John —• --, a soldier kille-din the'bm ' e of Buonn Vista .

Railway Accident . An Accident Of A Very...
RAILWAY ACCIDENT . An accident of a very ferious nature occurred ott Saturday night , near tha Newton road station , on t ha northern dH « ion of tbe London and tforth . Western Railway . In consiqience of the exprets train from Li . verpool being twenty minutes behind its time at Wolvcr . hempton , is left that town at a more than usually rapid speed . The train consisted of tho ' Co l onel' engine , which Is one of great power , a tendir , t h ree carriages , aad a luggage van , The rate at which it proceeded created a tremor and oscillation in the carriages se great that the passengers with difficulty were able to keep their seats , and , ultimately , about three hundred yards south of Newton bridge-, the engine ran off 'the rails , and dashed against tha embankment . Ttie carriages , by the eoncuisloa , wcro turned almost completely oyer , some of them being prevented falling to the ground- . ty the tele , graph and other potts . The luggage von ' was thrown
completely on to the down Hue of rails . The engine embedded itself three feet deep in tho embankment . It would be difficult to describe the scene which immediately followed . It is stated that iu the centre com . partmen . t . ef one of the carriages there was a party of five gentlemen who were pitched ogainat each other ia the greatest consternation . Thty tried in vain to lower the windows , ani It was net until a Mr Smith , a whipmaker commenced demolishing them , th it he and his com ! pinions extricated themselves from tho carrisg-s . Mr Sliuard , an architect residing at Paddlngton , asd ' who , with two ladies , occupied ono of the compartuu-nts of a crriate , narrowly escaped deatb , aad is much injured . When tho confusion bad somewhat subsided , and as . slstsnco hud arrived , Mr S »> uard was founa lying under one of the carriages , so completely wedged in between the broken pieces that It was f mnd impossible to extrl . cate him until the carriage was ra ' . tyJ .
Shortly after the express euglne ran off the lino , a pilot engine , which had been sent from B . rtniagham to usctr . tain the cause of dehy of the express , m » de its appear , anoa on the dowaliao , and theeMver , not being aware of tbe tccident , absolutely cut through the iuggsge van which lay on the line , and having run aloeg the earth upwatdsof one hundred yarSa , fell Into a ditch . Had the carrlsgea in tho express train , like the lugyaga van been thrown en the down line , the loss of life must have been ( rightful . J > yce , tbe driver of the pilot , nnJ Johnson , the stoker , were injured , and removed to their homes . The driver end stoker of the Colonel were also thrown from thslr engine , but were nots iriously hurt . j
S soon as tho accident became knows in the neigbm bourboodj prompt assistance was rendered by the Inhabitants . Messrs Dickinson and Abercrombie , surgeons of Wostbromwlcb , were indefatigable in their attentions , and the Earl of Dartmouth , who resides at SindrrelS Hall , in the neighbourhood of Newton bridge , on being informed of the accident , despatched a team ot horses to assist in removing the engine snd carriages , A train from Wa ' isall having arrived the pusengent w « re ecu . vcyeii to BirmingSam . Mr Shuard and C $ ' p : ain Beard , of Stirling , who it appeared had also been severely shaken , wcro conveyed eo the Qieeu ' e Hotel . Mr Rob ' n . son , the statisa-mnst > r , tv .: s unremitting ia his attention to the sufferers . Upon exam ' naliun , it was found that MrShunrd'alefilfgfaa broken in two places , and that he was suffering from internal injuries . None of tho other passeng- rs sustained any eerious injuries , although as a matter of course considerably frightened . The rails where the accident occurred are said to have been muoh damaged and broken up .
