MORE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS . _FaiCHlTl . _ACCIDEM OX IHB _NOKTHEB-V ASH _Easily JJjiu . WAr .-We have to _perfonutnc painful dutv C-f fi _htas the details of ano her radi _^ y . _tident * hv which one man ias been killed and several _neJso _' _as wounded . The scene of the calamity is _thatTponion of Uie _Northern aud fcastera line which it / is opened onlv a few days ago , and which had been _tdoscly inspected by General 1 'as . ey . On Monday the express or inom _' _iiis-juail train left the terminus of the junction station at Shorcditeh at half-past vlevcn o clock , the usual hour for Norwich . It consisted of two second-class aud three Hrst-class carriages , b . _'twcen which and the tender and engine were the _luggage ran and a horse-box , containing
two horses , and at the rear of the tram wns a truck and another _burec-bex . Tlic train _pvecee-M ' atits usual Kile , averaging about thirty miles an hour , _uiakiug two stoppages , as _faraa Wendon , in Essex , a distance of forty-three miles from town . It was then _abaut live minutes to one o ' clock , and th * hinder truck and horse-box having been detached , ihe regular signals were given and the train renewed its course . The line between this station and the iiext _, Cliestciford , is slightly on the decline—we are Informed one fout in 151 ' , and , _acccrdin-j to all accounts , the speed here maintained was greater than in the preceding part of thejourney , so much s » indeed , as to produce a violent oscillation of the carriages . Suddenly , on the train _cntcrinir a kind of
cutting , near a village called _Littleboiouiih , halfway between the Weudou aud Chcsterford stations , the _pjisscngers sustained a _JsJight shock , which was imincttiaudy folKiwc . l by one of a more tremendous character , accompanied * by an explosion . It was some moments ere the passengers recovered from its _effects , aud on tanking out of the carriages it was impossible , for a time , to discern what had really happened , on Recount of a torrent of fire intermingled with dust aud dirt , while , at ths tame time , the steam literally enveloped the train , aud even when It had subsided , the roaring of the engine was of a character to terrif y the passengers ; stiil more the _ioud shriek * ol the females for assistance adding uot a little to the horror of the scene . A frightful sight presented itself to such ofthe passengers as alighted .
The engine , alter breaking away from the tender , Juul crossed thc _npiine rail : ; , and was lying bottom upwards on tlie _sidu of the cuttiu-. % a complete wreck . The tender was some distance in advance of the train , doubled up , whilst the horse-box aud van were on fire . Tiie first effort made was to extricate the passengcw from the carriages next to the horsebox , wliieli were sadly broken , tlie bodies being taken completely off , and flames issuing from the roof of one" of them . Many persons" were ? carried out for icad ; otliera were much bruised . Jn another part of thc train the General Post Oiiice guard in charge of the mails was found lying on his back , having been apparently thrown from his seat on to the line , and _siic wheels pamed over liim , for one of his legs was found to be shockingly crushed . The dense body of smoke aud steam that issued from the d . sabl « l
engine , and the ground being strewn with heated coke , zlie search fora time could not be proceeded with . In the meanwhile the guard of the train promptly sent two or three of the passengers to the neighbouring village and Ws-udoii _, for medical and other assistance , and on the disastrous occurrence being made known , hundreds of persons flocked to the spot . It is impossible to give _anjradequale description ol" thc state Of the rails . Botfi _' _liiies , to the extent of near 200 yards , were torn up , tlie rails twisted in various forms , and some of the carriages were capsized . The engineer was fonad alive , but the stoker was lying under thc engine , one of Lis hands just being peiv ceived . Jt was in vain to attempt to extricate him with the means then at hand ; it was evident to all , _jfrom the weight that rested upon tlic boiiy , and thc ' -iolcnt action of the lire and steam , that the poor ieltow must have ken killed instantaneous ! v . Tke
' . » y-staiidcrs Laving procured various vessels , proceeded to shower water on the blazing tracks and carriages , and eventually succeeded iu sabduiug tha _ilauies ; by * _arliieh tiuwj % however , the luggage van was partially consumed , and _nmcli damage wns also done to the _pa'aengers' luggage . In au hour or so afterwards a pilot engine from Cambridge reached the spot , and was immediately set to work in dragging away tli-: i wreck—the liuc being impa ? _s : _able birth up and down . That _necessary work having been partially accomplished , nien were enabled to get at the engine ; and " , in the couise of two or three hours , succeeded in raising tke engine , when the mutilated remains of the unfortunate stoker , Richard Peako , were dragged forth . The body wa 3 burnt and
scalded to a frightful extent ; it was plated on a litter , and removed to ihel'aiconlnn , L-. ttlcbor & iigh , to await the coroners inquiry . The guard , after being attended to by the surgeons wha were brought to lus aid , was afterwards taken en to the Cambridge _Ho- _^ _iital , where he _nowlk-sinastateofgreatsuifering _Dnringtliescoperalions , those passengers who * . verc injured were conveyed into the adjacent meadows and iiclds _. and laid down until theneccssary means had _artiTedtoremovetlieintotncneigkbaurhigtowns . They received every attention from a lai _^ e muster of medical gentlemen from Wendon , Saffron _VTalden , & c , and later in the day were posted to their homes .

accident . Indeed , he was particularly reserved , for even to his experience the point to arrive at must _appearso far involved in considerable niystciy . _Itappeaw _iniracnloiis how the passengers iu the secondclass carriage , so dreadfully injured , as already described , could liave escaped , not only without loss of life or limb in a single instance , but abiohucly without a wound or a bruise worth speaking of * , yet sr . eh is the fact . In the firet accounts which reached London , and flew up add down thc line , it was stated that boththegnards—the Post-office ' s and . the company ' shad their legs fractured . This is not the case . The I _' oat-oilice guard was slightly stunned , and no more . Tho company ' s msn had his leg broken . He is now lying in tlte Cambridge hospital , his life safe , and with every hope on the part of his medical
attendant that Jiis leg will be spared also . It was set by Mr . lh . mw . ond , oue of thc surgeons of Addenbrook ' s Hospital . The seat on which he sat had the foot-board completely smashed . The poor sicker , ltichard Peat ,-had' taken this his first trip on thc Xorth-east line as an experimental one , being a driver on the Midland coucties . He was a hue young man , and , melancholy to relate , had only been " married six montlis . lie is now lying at the i _' alcon Inn , Littlcbury , awaiting thc inquest , which waa held on Thursday , by Mr . Lewis , the coroner for Essex , at eleven o clock . The trunk and head present the 1110 . 4 dreadful spectacle , buiu <; oue _jnass of ' crushed and charred matter . The engine , which was viewed thc last by General Pushy , was the least injured ot all ; the partof which was shattered , was the
iircbox , under which the poor stoker fell , aud was crushed . It appears that he held on , unfortunately , for a moment or so . Had ho been thrown off , like Young , thc driver , and Mr . Furmough , the inspector oi thc locomotive department , on thc instant , in all probability his life would have been saved . It is worthy of particular remark , and challenges thc attention of the directors of the various Sines through England , that General _Pasley observed to-day to Mr . Anson and the otlier officers of the company preseut , that if there had been an-engine behind as well as before , " the whole train _ivoind have been settled . " These were his emphatic words , hy whieh , to those who may not see their force , he meant that the carriages would have been driven on , and every human being in them smashed to atoms .
[ The Ixqcest . —The coroner ' s inquest on the remains of thc stoker , Richard Peat , took place on Thursday , at the Falcon Inn , Littlcbury . The proceedings commenced at _clercn o ' clock , when , after the preliminaries of swearing thc jury and viewing the body were gone through , the first witness called on was John Herbert , a labourer on the line , who deposed to having seen the deceased at Stortford on Monday morning in good health and spirits , lie identified the deceased . William Fernihough , an engineer in the employment of the company , and superintendent of the locomotive department , - deposed that he left Londsn by the half-past eleven o ' clock train . John Young was driving . The engine was No . 51 . Thc deceased acted sis fireman . Witness rode upon thc engine tVom London to the time of the
_accident . He liad not the control of the engine . Saw nothing wrong til ! he saw the engine oft' the rail . He held fast hold of a cock on the left side oi thc engine . He did not lose his presence of mind , aud thought he might be saved by holding fast if the engine went en straight . lie was thrown oif where it turned- over , aud was blinded and confounded among tho fragments . When he came to his senses he found himself nnder the hick part of the engine , behind the lire-box . He supposed , from the concussions he received , flint he was torn limb from limb , and almost killed . He remained halt a moment , and finding there was no steam or water flying about , he crept out . He did not see anything of the deceased for a quarter of an hour _, _tt'tcn witness got free he shouted out the names of
the driver and foreman . Thc former answered , and he saw him reding about on the side of the road . Witness was so exhausted that he was obliged to sit down for a short time . The deceased was found about a quarter of an hour afterwards under the engine , and then only his arm was seen . The engine was removed last . It is plain the deceased mast have been killed immediately , for the whole weight of the engine was on him , and one or two of the fire bars having been broken , the coke came on to him and binned him . When the engine was removed deccascd was on his back on the inner rail bf the up-line . Witness had been down the line every day since the opening except the previous Saturday . He _tfeousht thcywere travelling at the rate of thirty miles an hour . * When thev approached
the inclined plane they slackened their speed , as is usual todo . The driver was only known to him about a month or two . He considered him as good a driver as any in their service . lie had been on the Manchester and Leeds line , and was remarkable for his caution and carefulness . He was more backward in his driving than otherwise . He had reason to suppose that there was something on the rail ; that sometliing was wrong in thc stationary afiairs ofthe line . It occurred as if a bar had been lying across the line . A stone would not be likely to throw it off hy catching thc flange , for it would be instantly crushed . Several witnesses were examined , * including . Mr . ' Phipps , fhe engineer of the line , who deposed that the accident mast have ocenrrtd from thc rising of the fore part of the _ensino , which might result from
the depression of that particular part of the rail , or from preceding joints putting the engine in a state of oscillation . T 1 » b he was inclined to hold to , in preference to the opinion that the train went at too great a speed , which would have made no difference ia such a _slight inclination . Certainly an engine and train might travel down it with perfect snfety at thirty-fire miles an hour . The Coroner said thatit was very much to be desired that General Pasley should be examined , as he had investigated the circumstances ofthe accident , and in all probability had come by this time to a conclusion as to how it originally occurred . Under all the circumstances , bethought it his duty to adjourn the inquest until _Gcnci-afPasiCy ' s evidence could be obtained . After some consultation , it was agreed to . uljourn the inquest to Wednesday next , at twelve o ' clock .
Tin : Late _Accioeni ox the _Loxnox As » _-Binni . _NGiiJLM Kjulwat . _—Death of Ma . Deax . —Wc regret to announce that Mr . Charles Dean , civil engineer _, of Gundy-street , Exeter , who had his leg crushed by the collision which took place on the line of the London and _liirminirham Railway , near Chalk Fann , on the morning of Tuesday , the 29 th ult ., expired on Tuesday morning , from the effects of that 0 ' c . currcnce . The fortitude which the unfortunate gentleman exhibited at the time of the accident , when-informed that amputation was necessary , and subsequent to so painful an operation , left no doubt ohthcmihihi ofhis mcdicalattendante , notwtthstandiri » _his full habit of body , that his ultimate recovery wonhl he effectcd . The reports from day today , up _tO'Moh'dffv'last , were that Mr . Dean was progressing
favourably , ai \ d it was anticipated by his _friendB that iii the ' _t-pm-sc of _a-few days he would have been _safScicrilly recovered to * -be removed to Exeter . On the afternoon ' of _/ _Moiidiiy ; -however , unfavourable _symptpins ' _sepinland _it- . soon became evident that mortification- had ' _ehsiieil ;' the patient gradually sunk , and died at _al-few minutes ' before two o ' clock on Tuesday morning .

whereupon the prisoner drew the bar from under the bed , and aimed a desperate blow at his head .

SHEFFIELD . Mr . O'Connor delivered an intensting and practical- ' lectnrc on "Land and Co-oncinlion , " in thc large Anipitlicatrc , on Monday Jnst ; ? . ! r . Briggs in the chair . At thc conclusion " of 'he lecture tlie following resolution was moved by'Mr . Fryer , seconded by Mr . Gaodlad _. and carried unanimously - . — " That . his meeting , after herring the Ghartist Go-operate Land plan expounded by Feargus O'Coimor , Esq . ; is of opinion that the obtaining of the Land is the only means of relieving the labour market of its present surplus hands , and thus placing the labourer in an independent position ; ami this meetin _g ' likewise begs to return unqualified thanks to that gentleman for his honrst and untiring exertions on behalf of the working classes . " Thanks having been given to the chairman , the meeting broke up .
GLASGOW . The Laxd Tux . —A . meeting . was held hero on Monday evening in Nelson-strcet ' Chapcl , for thc purpose of considering the propriety of joining the Chartist Co-operative Land Society . ' The meeting might lie considered a good one . After a lengthy conversation as to the details of tlic plan , the unanimous feeling of the-inecting ' was' in- favour of _itH * adoption . Mr . Smith w as appointed district secretary , and Mr . John Cameron , boot and shoemaker , Crown-strcct , was appointed sub-treasurer . The secretary began the work of enrolment , nnd in a few miniites upwards of fifty hnd given in their names , mostof whom paid their first instalment . On the motion of Mr . Sherrington ; seconded by Mr . Mann , it was agreed that the meeting should be held weekly , for the purpose of enroling members and receiving instalments _;
the next meeting to be held on Wednesday evening , August _13 t ! i , in the same place . On the motion of Mr . Mann . it was agreed that each member pay a levy of one halfpenny per shilling per week , towards defraying ' local expenses . The Land _qusstion has made extensive progress in Glasgow , as far < i « public " opinion is concerned , and I have no doubt , notwithstanding the subject has been a little long in being formally taken . up , but that , with perseverance on the part of those who have now Joined , tho time h not far distant when the roll-hook shall present several hundred regular ' paying-members . ' Solar as my experience enables me to judge , I find but ono fcclincj as to the Land scheme ; and all the opposition that has been urged by selfish parties , instead of doing harm , ha 3 been the means of stimulating thc friends to greater devotion to the cause . This is as it ought to be .

l _' . Y .. THE-NOTORIOUS MITCHELL OF . _TRHSTOX . ( From the Morning Herald , 'Augv . _st'ith . ) NORTH WALES _ClRCUlT-CiiEsTEU , August 7 .
( BeforeMr . Baron Parke . ) . actiox Foil unci .. _—MiTciii'u , v . o _' coxxois . Mr . TowNSEXP and MivDaviosiw appeared for thc plaintiff . __ The plaintiff is Mr . _Mifchell , of Preston , in tho adjoining county , a gentleman tolerably well known in the political circles of that district ; mid Mr . Feargus O'Connor is the proprietor of the northern Slur newspaper . Thc partiei had boon somewhat ' _coimcctiid in 1 ne political movements of the Chartist body , Tne plaintiff had attended a meeting at Manchester on lhe Ten Hours Bill , and made 11 speech upon it ; and it was for the * comments' on that ; meeting that the
plamtill complained . The article called Mitchell a "League tool , " ami a "despicable tool ; " and went on to report a speech ef Mr . liobson , the printer of the paper , who _iificribc-1 Mitchell as having introduced the miscreant' Ulivcr , the notorious spy , and had given him tlic passwords , which ' had led 10 three men being liaugcii at Derby , and others punished by transportation and imprisonment .- ' This was the libel complained of , and it was denounced by Mr . To . _vnsenil in most indignant hu : gmge , ' aciompanied _in ' jji an ciniiluitic denial that it . _ii-. m ilie slightest foundation ill " _iittt . Ic was stated that tlie phiiiuiff hud applied fir an apology , which had nob neen made .
ltichard lhonipson _proiliieoii a certilieato from the Stump Ulliee proving publication . The alleged libel was then read . Thc date of thc paper was April'ill , 1814 . _George lintion . —I was agent for the A \> rthem Star in April last year , in Prestun . 1 sold a copy of the paper to the plaintiff . The paragraphs _jniiide to him . Air . Jekvis and Mr . _Welshy appeared for the defendant . The former addressed the jury . at ' considerable length , and said . there was 110 uviuciicc of an apology having been applied for . lie _.-iiiiiuaifrciteil with conaideiuule tercii mi Ui _« tact that Mr . Mitchell had not sought reparation in the county where hewas known , ami where _the'iVw-tficnrA ' tor circulated ; but
h _,. d come here , where he was not kno . vn , and whero the Northern Star did not circulate , lie ridiculed the whole action as most trumpery ; and said that apoison like- 'Mitchell ; who dwelt- in a glass-house himself , , should not tnrow stones . There was 110 doubt that Mr . O'Connor was legally liable for what appeared in the _A ' _mhevri Star ; bub there was no pretence for saying that he had anything more to do with this matter than fa ; _i \ y representing what did take place at a public meeting ; . and -if that was done in a fair and proper spirit-,, although it might not confer thu same immunity as was enjoyed by the bar , yet tbat waa acirciimstaiice which the jury could not fail to take into account iii considering tlieir verdict . He said
that the only charge against Mitchell was that he was the introducer vf Oliver ;• but not that he was the spy and the corrupter , 'lhe simple effect ofthe paragraph was thntJm Jiail'dono that innocently no doubt -, but that he had- done it , _switb had thus led lo the catastrophe ofwhich Oliver , the spy , was the corrupt author . He contended that to call a man a tool was no libel ; nor did he think that- to mention with opprobrium- tho connection of the plaintiff with Oliver was libellous ; . but if the jury- snould 00 of opinion that the paragraph was libelous ; ample justice would bo done evou ior vindication , -by- taking a mitigated view of it , and sending _fiim-1 ' rom ' Chester , with a coin in his _pocfect , which would not much encumber him with the weight of it . ¦
The learned Judge said the _question was not one of character , but of vindication ; aiid-if ihe jury were of opinion that the ¦ paragraph amounted 10 a libel , then it was their province to say what damages would satisfy- the justice of the case , if newspapers only contained fair reports of occurrence * , tuen ' jurors were justified in ' taking , a _Jenient- view of whatever occurred damaging to character _j'bnt when they went beyond that , then juries should give exemplary damages . If what was spoken was libellous , and was
also reported ) it-was no protection to thb newspaper that the name ofthe speaker was given . There was no direct allegation -that the _pJa-iirtiil'Jcnowingly intlodu 2 ed OJivoi" as a spy ; but tlie-jury must judge of the general meaning and intent of . the paragraph . It was for thenvto say whether tlicuse of the phrase '¦ tool" did not convey the imputation of a guilty purpose . -: If the j ury were of opinion that a Jibel was coiiimitted ,, thenuiidoubtedly defendant , - as publisher of the paper , was liable . ¦ Yerdict for tlic plaintiff—Bamagci
ONE , FARTHING ! The _Juuge refused to certify , and consequently each party have to pay their own costs .

On the Wednesday I attended at the _iliiilSlon House , when the _Mays ' r _lii-dercd the case to further stand over till _Sutiirda „ .. On that day I again attended and produced my
receipt , when tlie Lord -Mayor _ssid my 3 rd of April rate was not paid , and he should order tbe rate to lis paid my paying the _wronjf rato _disqualified nie , I _tln > n asked for the collector to be sworn , as I should be able to prove from his lips I had paid the rate , ami tlia receipt was given in error . The _eoilet-tor then ac . knowhdged that I said I should pay the 3 rd of April rate ; he believed I paid it as such , hut the 3 rd of July receipt was given in error . I asked him if ever the latter rate had been applied for ? " Never , * said he . The _J-ord _M-iyor then , with seeming reluctance , dis . missed the two summonses issued against me . The
question on the Church llate summons was then gone into . I proved by the collector ' s own handwriting that the _Dth day of August was the time agreed on between ushoth , when the rate _sliouid be paid ; as that time l _.-fld liotyetanivei ) , I was no defaulter . The Wil _& 1 a _*> o _** tlien said under these _circunistanct'S he would fnrgive me the _sumnions . I told him it was not bis forgiveness ' but his justice I wanted : was it just 1 should be three times drugged from by business on three separate sumsnonses , and have the summonses to pay for without last eause ? This summons was then also dismissed . So ends this scnndalons business . Am V not entitled in asy way to claim compensation from this collector for my loss of time ?
