UMTED STATES . The packet-sfcip Sheffield , Captain Allen , arrived on Friday morning at Liverpool from Isew York . She sailed on the 15 : h nit ,, and has made the passage in seventeen days . On trie 8 th ulf ., the House of Representative received from the President a special message . It related to the financial embarrassments of the country . It set forth ihe condition of it # Treasury ; thfi impossibility of meeting the densands wn it ; the pressing wants of the cavy , army , &c . ; and suggested ihe necessity , as the Exchequer Bill would cot pass , and as taa Government would h 3 re no means of anticipating ibe revenue or postponicg debt-, of Epcedy provision bting made bylaw for
the extension and increase of ihe loan , or for authority to issue Treascry notes io the extent of the emergency . The Secretary of ihe Treasury , in "his statement of the means of the Treasury ou ihe Is * of 2 Isrc& , accompanying the message , estimates the tc-nl expenditure for the current three moE ! h 5 n £ 9374 , 040 . 000 dollars , end the deficiency of estimated means at at 3 , 254 , 635 , 47 . After a brief conversation , the consideration of the subject was postponed . A second message was a : the same time received from the President , who had also sent a copy of it to ihr Senate . It related to the International relations of the United States wish Great Britain , and stated the fatt of the arrest of Hogan , in the state of Kew York , en the charge of aiding in burning ihe
Caroline , The President su ^ s -esied to Congress the adoption of somesuitable legislanve provision "for the removal , at their coEuneactmeni , and at the option of the party , of all such cases as might arise in S : ate conns involving national questions , or questions touching the faithful observance and discharge of the inK 3 » 2 tional obligations of the TJuiied Slates , from Fcch Stale tribunal to the Federal Justiciary . I am ET £ e 4 to repeal , at this time , this recommendation by ihe receipt of intelligence , upon which I can rely that a sabject of Greas Britain , residing in Upper Canada , has been arrested npon « ¦ charge of connection vmh the expedition , fined out ~ oy the Canadian
saihorities by -which ihe Caroli ^ o was destroyed , and will in all prcbab : liiy be subjected to tri ^ i in the State courts of New York . It is doubtful whethn ( adis the President ) in this state of thipgs , shoald his discharge be demanded by the British Government , ibis Government is invested with any contronl over the subject until the case shall have reached the court of final resort of the sists of New York , and he . a decided in that court ; and although such delay ought not , in a national poiat of view , to give cause of umbrage to Great Britain , yet the prompt and instant rendering of justice to foreign nations shou'd be placed among our highest duties . "
" Mr . Barnard ( chairman of the Juciciary Committee , ) said , that & bill ha . d already been Teported from that committee , to meet such cases , but that he had not yet seen the time darkg the session when te ecaid , with any chance of succes ? j have asked the House to take it up . He and the commiuefc were both aware , from information received from cficcrs of the Government , that there "was hazard thit jasi such a case as the President now informed tie House had arisen might shortly arise . He invved ihe reference of the papers to th-Judiciary Ccaaunee , and the printing thereof . The original morion of iir , Barnard was a motion of reference to the Committee of : h ? wh ^ le House on the stare Gf the ITi--z to whom had been referred the bill alluded to
by him ; bus he zuodifled it on the suggestion of ~ Sir . Dieting , tta * , by a reference to the Judiciary Comsintefc , the subject wonld again coaie within the jurisdiction of that committee , and thus give them an opponunity to report a resolution fixing a da . v vr ' nen tie res :-lu : ion would be considered . Mr . Pii / k-iis said a fsw words about States' righto and so- $ ere : g 2 ty , & . z ~ , when the papers were referred to the Judiciary Ccrnmittce , and the House aijo-meQ . " Vi ' v . h T ? = T ) 5 ct id Hogan . whose arrest had induced the President to bring his case by special message biiore Congress , it now appears that , he did not
e ; u ^ e josiiep , so to speas , by escaping from gaol , but thai after a losg argument before Judge Ransom , he was discharged on the ground of the insuSc ' sercy of ^ ifae warrant . The Niagara Conner says , that " there wa ? Etfikient evideLce to have detained him for trial , had it not been for the defect in the warrant . - " J 3 o .-2 n , His stated in tha Albany papers , made an tSiavir , which wa 3 read at the trial of i > i'Leod 3 thai he was ia oe-s of the boats engaged to cut cut the Caroline , and that M \ Lead was not .

The state of trade at New York is described in the journals as very bad . A complete stagnation prevailed ! and , though the spring wa 3 commencing , business showed none of the signs Gf improvement incidental to ihe season . English * Bd French manufa . i'oies had gone at the anction sales at rninons prices , Money could be obtained without difficulty 02 good personal security , but there was scarcely £ . - _<• demand for it , so limited had business transactions been for some time . . Little was doing in stocks . Th- exchange Oil ElujiE . 3 i < i remained trnahered . The Legislature cf Maryland had pas .-ed a bill , requiring the banks to resume cash payments on the Irt of May . Tbe b = r ; ks had , meanwhile , virtually commenced paying m coin and specie , and Bank-Dotes were at par .
The Legislature of Pennsylvania had also , at length , passed a siiailar biiL Several of the banks Of PMi&delphia had -partially- resniaed , but Others had refused comiulatee with the law .

CAKlilSLE . —Anothes Case op Aesox . —A few evenings ago an attempt wss made by some evil and wickedly disposed person or persons , to fire a weaving shop , the property of Mr . John Donald , in the Willow Halen . A pane of glass had be ^ n taken out of one of the windows , and lighted touch paper and oily waste throWl in amongst the yarn in one Of the looms , which of course had bten set on Sre ; but fortunately the progress # f the fiames had , by » ome miraciaous
means , been confined to one loom , though there were other th * ee in the place . A cut , the property of Messrs . Taf nson and Chambers , was completely destroyed , aloug with the braids and othei gearing belonging to the loom , and for Which the poor wearer , named William Spenw , will have to pay , or make good , and which will amount with loss of time to upwards of twenty shillings , a sum far beyond the means of a hand-loom weaver to pay . Are the party or parties committing this diabolical and malicious act , aware that they have subjected themselves to a very seriou 3 punishment ?

Dreadftl Murder xnd Suicide at Kingswood Hlii . —The neighbourhood of Kingswood Hill , near Bristol , was , on Tuesday morning thrown into a state of great excitement by the discovery that the heiaous crime of murder had been committed , and thai the horrid deed had been follovred by the suicide of the murderer , the victim bein ^ his own sister . Tri 8 scene of the murder was a couage , situate near Eingswood church . Here the brother and si 3 ier , Samuel and Edith Cook , had resided for several years , ai , d ihe same dwelling kzd been occupied by mL-mbers of the ? ama family for the last husdred years . The murderer , Samuel Cook , was about bo ye ^ rs of a ^ e , and hiss sister Edith ab : m * 46 or 48 . It appears rhat Cook formerly fulowed ttw trade of a
ritnber hewer , a description of work belonging to the collieries ; but having , tocher with his sister , been atracked W ; ih typhus fev-r , tome time ago , which left him in a siat . of grea : nervous depression , heiiaci declined his trade ior the las : five years ; and ha-siug some email houses of his own , which brought him in sufficient to maintain himself , his occupation during th \ t time has been a little work in the gardec . Is is-said thai his sister and himself lived very eomfonaWy together , and he was & man of religious habits , and a , very regular attendant at = the methodist chapel in the parish . —About hail ' - past C o ' clock , on Thursday morning , a Mr . Peacock , the next door neighbour being alarmed by the cry of murder proceeding from Cook ' s house , he immediately
entered it , and found the man , Samuel Cook , lying on the floor with his throat cut , ¦ vrdteriDg in his blood , bishe 3 d being towards the outer door , and the door of the staircase * leading towards the sleeping apartments standing wide open- Not seeing the sister , EJith Cook , Peacock was-very Hmch alarmed , and supposing that thieves nad broken open the house , and murdered both brother and sli ' . er , he ran away to give a faither alarm , but was met by a milkman , who had ateo beca alarmed , and on their -way buck to the premises , they discovered the body of tha sister , quite dead , her throat being cut completely tLrouch the £ : de , lying in the garden . They then a ^ ain entered the house , and finding Samuel Cook Btiil alive , they dispatched persons for medical assistance ,
and in the mean time Supported the body of the dying man in the best Tray tfaty could . They still imagined that the hotSi had been robbed , and that both parties bad been murdered ; but in placing Coyfc in a sitting position , Peacock discovered that he had hia razor , which was covered with blood , in his hand . Mr . Biggs , -the surgeon , arrived shortiy after , and » ewed up the ¦ wound in Cook ' s throat , when he was enabled , during . the sijort time he lived , to mutable out a few ¦ words , and once said , distinctly , " It wss I who did it ; I murdered her Jurat , and then myself . " Every effort irhich surgical skill could direct , was made to preserve the wretched man ' s life , but he continued sinking , and di » d- in about two hours .
A Point to bs Gaiited . —WoTkiDg men have been too long frightenea into silence regarding their own capabilities . This must be tolerated no longer . The numerical circle of our Chartist speakers is rar too limited . Every working man should Etu ^ y to acquire sufficient counMenca in his own ability to espress his opinions frcejy at all times , and in all places , and before all men . Let debating societies start into existence everywhere—let amity be the bond of union , biuding each to each —let all sorr iha . t all may reap the produce—tie"r ,
read , and study—encourage honest literature , but , hear " all sides "—let prices be given to the meritorious—let temperance be a symbol of good character—act towards C 2 ch other , at all tir / ies , a ^ if success in our movement depended on the individual exertions of every man claiming the Chahteb as his beacon and pilot—let this , and more , be done , until every hamlet , village , 3 nd town in Scotland can produce a Demosthenes aud a Cicero , and then a fig for opponuou , the greater the better . This will benefit the people as well after the Charter is law as before —Dundee Chronicle .
- -Execution of Williams , the Murdeheh . — John Williams , the murdtier of Emma Evans , paid the la = fc penalty of bis atrocious offence in front of the county gaol of Salop on Satnrday . At eleven o ' clock , the chaplain administered the sacrament to the culpr it , who received it in a manner that nr ' ght ha re been expected from his j-rericus rc-igncJ and penitent deportment . A few minutes before twelve , the funeral bell rang through the corridors of the prison , and immediateiy alter , the Uiider-Sheriff eame to the g-ated door , and demanded the body of Jfbn Williams for execution . The culprit ro = s to obey the summons , and , escorted by the chaplain , ascended the lodge leading to the gailow ? , on reaching which he averted his eyes from the thousand countenance ? that were beat upon him , and leaut
his head to the voice of Sir . Yoaug , the taskumter , to whose words of comfort he responded by exclaiming— " Lord have mercy on me !—Lore , have mercy on me '—Lord , have mercy on my soul ] " The rope was bow acjusted by the executioner , who , just before the cap was drawn on the eyes of " Williams , pressed his hand , and exclaimed , " Stand firm when 1 leave-ycu j" to wLica the other replied , " Yes , " aud again repeated Lord receive my soul , " incessantly till the bolt was diawn , when the drop fell , and he expired - with scarcely & struggle . Having hung for ! he usual time , the body was cut down , and , by permission of the sheriff , two artists from the CoalporfChina factory , proceeded to tako casts of the features .

Fbome . —Isfamous Odtiuge . —Four male brutes , in human shape , are in custody here , on the charga of baying nearly murdered one of the classo ' f uafortunate women , named EJizi Wheler , whom they enticed on Friday night . . March 25 th , to a field , called Vallis Leaze , adjoining this town , where the poor creature was found , on the following morning , in a dreadful state , having been nearly stripped naked by these unfeeling wretches , who also beat and kicked her in a dreadful manner , and then left her-as they supposed for dead . The female , whoBe life was at
fir . t dispaired of , has received the best medical attention , aud is now slowly recovering ; but , at present , is unable to make the necessary depositions . The names of the fellows , charged with thia cruel and unmanly act . are Coombs , Dowdy , IL ^ ins , and Williamson . The two former , we believe , are labourers , Higgins is a weaver , and Williamson , a butcher . They have been twice brought before the Frome magistrates during the present week , but in consequence of tho precarious state of the sufferer were remanded .
Disastboos Flood at Derby . —Great devastation of property has been occasioned at Derby by a . sudden and tremendous inundation which occurred on Friday morning , April the 1 st . Between one and two o ' clock the water of the brook which runs through the town , owing to the heavy fall of rain in the night , overflowed its boundary walls , and ran about one foot deep into the neighbouring streets ; an alarm was given by the night police , but the flood swelled so rapidly that they were soon driven from their stations . The ram came down a complete deluge , an aa the culverts of the brook course in Victoria-Street would not admit more than one-tbird
of the waters that rushed along them , all the lower streets were speedily inundated , and two rapid currents were soon formed by the flood : one running down Cheapside , the Ward wick . anJ Yicioria-sireer ., the other along Wil . ow row , Bold-lane , and Saddlergate ; th «« e streams met " fast and furious" in the Corn-market , . where by three o ' clock the inandation was at least six feet deep : it thence forced its way through Thori : tree-lane , and every yard and avenue which led to the river Derwent . About four the rain abated , and at sunrise the flood gradually lowered . As it wa 3 market-day and Easter-fair , it is impossible to describe the confusion which existed among the inhabitants and the [ country-people who were crowding to the town with all their various
wares . It is a melancholy circumstance that this disaster has been attended with a loss of human life a poor woman , named Ingham , fell into the flood , at the back ' of her re idence , in Upper Brook street , about six o ' clock ; and about half an hour afterwards she was found qaita dead by her husband . SeVcnil Other persons have been seriou ?] y , but not danger ously , ii ' jarod . Many hor .-es , cows , calves , and pigs , have beta urowuui ; and the gentlemen ami tradesmen residing in the streets visited by trie fljod ha ^ sustained great damage in their houses and furniture , &c . Great loss has atso been suffered by tho shopkeepers in the Corn-markpt , whose premises en the
ground floor wore inundated to the height of four feet . The druwiug-roona of Mr . Joseph Strutt ' s housa among othi-rs waa completely flooded . The solid stone bncp ; - ? . near St . John ' s church was partly -destroyed , ami ihc mosi compact masonry seemed unable in some pans of the town to resist the rush of waters . In the afternoon business was resumed , and tae principal streets which had been inundated were again passable . No accuruto estimate can yet ba formed of the djinasjo susiained , but the amount muse be something strious . It is supposed that , as the flood ruse ti > so fearful an < xtent in two or rhree hours , a water-spout , must have burst over the town .
The Fiiist op Apsil . —As lonp sgo as the days of Addison , the Briti .-h tseayista brgan to raise their voices ag 3 in ? t the vulgar and mischievous practical jokes of the First of April ; and yet the nuisance seems to be increasing instead of diminishing . The number of unfortuii ; re wights sent upnn " sleeveless errands" yesterday was . probably greater than had been witnessed on any First of April tince tho practice of " washing the lions at the Tower" was finally discontinued by tho transference of tho noble aninials to the Zjological-gardens . In Edinburgh . a £ ieit crowd was collected by an announcemeLt that a , public reconciiijtion aud inic-rcl ; a >! £ e of the kiss of peace was to take place between the e ! erc , 'ymeii and elders cf the Intrusion and Kan-iiitrusion
parties . In Dublin the whole of tb / 3 inmate ? of the Ca-t ! e drove to ihe Corn Ex { fhar 3 £ f > to heal" Mr . U ConnellV fii : al and irrevocable abjuraiion of Repeal . In Manchester the whole pepu-ation flov . ked to the raiiway-iernihius to see the member for Stockport briiij ? down the repeal of iho ^ Join Laws in "his pccki't . lu London tiie day of hoaxes was celebrated with more spiri ' -, it" possible , than in the provinces . A number of member 3 of thn Reform Club were drawn to pay their re .-pects at Downingstreet by a report that Lord Melbourne was again in office . A uimilar report had been sent to Lord PaJmerslon ; but his Lordship was too old a bird to be caught with chaff ; it was observed , however , that in the course of his forenoon ride he accidentally passed along Whitehall . An effort was made to tempt the present inmates abroad , by rumours of county meetings , but they found their new quarters
too snug to be persuaded to leave them . Lord John Husseli was induced ti » open a communication with " the farmers who attend R ' . aaio ^ market , " by an intimation sent him from some wag in the offico of the Morning Chronicle , that they had declared they preferred his 8 * . fixed duty to Sir Robert Peel ' s sliding scale . Mr . Hume was nearly takt-n in by an intimation from Montrose that the berths wished him to succeed Mr . Chalmers as'ih&ir representative . About five o ' clock the II . form aud Carkou clubs wLre crowded , owing to rumours which had been industriously circulated that two eminent members of Parliament had shaved that morning . One hundred and nineteen tradesmen were enticed to assemble in front of the Treasury to see the incometax : but this hoax seemed to give general offt'nee , ihe impression being that though not there yet it was sure to come , and that tLo subject was too serious for a juke . —Spectator .

THE BOBBIN NETT HANDS OF MESSRS BODEN AND . aiORLEY , DERBY . TO TIIE BOBBIN NETT HASDS 6 F THE COUNTRY AND PUBLIC IN GENJSHAL . An appeal to tur laY . ow workmen on behalf of a strike at this distressed time , may appear somewhat Birange , but "we think a little explanation of the tyrauny aud injustice about to be enacted by our masters , -wlil l > e . i sufficient apology for our intruding on a generous public Tbe tyranny of -which we complain is the tnormoua reduiticn offered , of 14 ^ per ctnt in our 7 rage 3 ; while at tho snnie time we were receiving less prices than the men of IVott : nt ; ham , Chesterfield , and thi west of England .

' . . . ¦;¦' . '¦ ..-¦¦ . . ¦ : Mr . Dempster , on the part of Captain Jf'Leod , denied that the ^ assault was properly characterised & 8 a Violent one , ana tnen expressed the gallant officer ' s regret at what bad occurred in a momient of gteat irtitation , and his readiness to apologia * to the defendant , and make him any remuneration which the case required . Mr . Dempster contended , however , that the case was not one which required the usual proceeding in caa-is of assault , cf adjudicating summarily , to bo departed from for the purpose or adopting tb . 9 harsh course of sending the case to the sessions .
[ The irritation alluded to arose principally from the circumstance which gave riBe to the action ; the m » ney sought to be Recovered by the suit being for the change of a £ 5 Wigney note given to the dfcfendanfc after the bank had closed not to open again ] At ths conclusion of Mr , Dampster ' s address , Mr . Bennett intimated that his client was satisfied -with the apology that hart been made , and would consent to the withdrawal of the information , if Captain M'Leod would pay £ 5 tethe ' Sussex County Hospital .. : Cp-ptain M'Leod immediately signified his assent to the proposition , and the case was accordingly settled on those terms .

VREAVFVL ACCIDENT ON THE SO ¥ TH Wl-STERN RAILWAY . ( OFFICIAL ACCOUNT . ) Considerable apprehensions were excited at the London terminus ef the South Western Hallway , on Satui " - day jaorningi by the non-arrival of the early trains from Southampton and Gosporfc , which we find on inquiry was OBcasioned by a fall of chalk in the shaft . » fth « tunnel near Winchester . We regret to sfote that it wji 3 attended by a loss of life to four men ; the fall into the tu . nr . el of some loose uhalk ( Uiimaletial in ^ iiajltityl has stopped the line , and it has become nectssary to convey passengers from W ' iacfaester to and from the next station of Andover-road .
It appeara that , from a peculiarity in the nature of th >» mittirial , it had not been deemed prudent to fill up this shaft beyond a certain hei , « hfc , tha upper portion being left open until the lower should have become consolidated . About a week ago a slip of chalk fell from off the sides cf this shaft , which was obsaryed by the inspector cf the district ; and , on Tuesday last , au txaniination totrk p ! ace by the engitieers of the line , and orders were giten to reopen the shaft ; and remove the material around it . This process was then commenced , and a very considerable portion of the superinctinibeat weiaUt had been removed . During this period ¦
no perceptible 'Change of the arch took plaea but , on Saturday morning early , the part of the arch immediately beneath tUe shaft gave symptoms of motion f anc-J , although the watchman balo-w communicated the fuCt to tee worSnien above , they still continued thtir operations , and in about an hour , wera unfortunately prtcipitatcd , with , a quantity of loose chalky into the tunael , uad six of the number buried : of these , two were taken out unhurt , the others met their death . Tho chalk which fell is being rapidly removed , and we are assured the use of the lii > e will be resuiued this morning .
Tae engineer of tho train , which arrived at half-past ten o ' clock laat night , reports that the first train this morning will pass through the tunnel .

Gamble , though tcey fell a considerable distance , escaped the fatling iiiass , and both the Watnsores . jun . j escaped with some bruioes , tut not of a very serions nature . Charles Knight states that be wasat work on the same platfornv -with James Batchelor at tb . ? time of the accident , aud must have : shared the sains fate' had h 8 not , in his fall , got into some ho . ' e reBenvbliiig an ftld wall , and by thi 3 msaDa he waS protected from thefalling material ; but he ultimately fell a" distance of forty f ^ tt , burthi 3 spine , and received several severs bruises : Gamble ,: too , . was preserved fr « m instant destruction
by his presecce of mind . He states that Wiitinprs : waa at . work over him , and he recollects the poor iuaia ' JalU ing ^ past him , and lie ( Gamble ) Was just in iLe act of falling too , -when be fortunately laid hold of a rope wnich hunsfrtm the : ecafFjldicg , and held f ; at by it until the chalk which buried his fello-w-wbrknien ' had done falling ; but , being unable to hold on aay longer , he was ofeliged to let go , and fell a deptk of a ' -oufc forty feet . He , too , received a sevire injury of tha spine ; had his hips , the right side of his face ' , and haKtis very much lacerated , by tie roughness of the thalkafcones . •' . ; V " ¦ r ¦'^¦ ' ' .- ' - '¦' /¦¦ ¦ . . ¦"¦• ¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ ' . - ¦• ¦¦
The tunnel where this unfortunate accWeEt occurred is situated midway between the Winchestcr and Andover-road stations , and nearJy . a mile arid a half from tha vinago of-Mittheidever ; and an alarm having been given , the workmen , portsra , and others , ¦; - ; cnijag « ed at both thesa stations , , wero shortljr on tbe spot to ; rendei iiH the assis ' tarice in their power to remove the unhappy sufferers . After tifeing up these 'Who Were comparatively on tae-surface of tnu fillen mass , they comnitjiced digging fur those who were un / terneata , and the . first they came to was \ Nyse ; whom they found crushed in a frightful manner , and quite tiead ; AH ^ rt vpa ?; tlio n « .-st » Watmore the third , arid it was up-vards of f-wr htmrs btf ' ore they , succeeded in finding the botiy of James Batchelor , whkU vras diseovertd neatly as far d-i ^ a r . s the railroad itself , and iu his fall be muet havo passed
tF . rougU the brickwork , of the arch or top or the lu : i ; ieL Whin taken up it presented a ihockinir spectacle ; tlis head and -almost every bone in the body bein ^ ciushed almost to a mummy . Mr . Walton , a turse-JD , rtsidiag jh tfce vilJ . ige of ; Mitebeldcver , was in attdnaance almost immediately alter-tha accident , ai > d rendered tlie moss prompt and huniEXie jsHbiition to tfce nnforiUtata Suffarers . By his directionsh * wes and Thpmaa Batchelor were removed to Winchester Hospital , where , they wo . e attended by Mr . Bradfoot , the . principal surgeon vt that infct . tution ; and Gamble and Kuighfc were taken to their own houses in tie village of iiicheidevar , wkre . Mr Walton was unremitting in his attentions t-6 them . The bodies of the four unfortiinate men -who ypois kiiisd were removed to a small hut pvei ? the tunnel , and nvav to where the accident , happened , to await the coroner ' s inqaost . ' . '' . '¦¦ : ' . ; "¦ ¦; . ¦ • , . . ¦•¦ ' ;
Frightful as : tbe melancholy accident has boen ,.. it was well high being of au hundredfold more serious consequence . The , seven o ' clock train left Southampton at that hour , aud had arrived ;> . t Winchester in duoc : urse , aud ' . at its proper time , with a great number of ps 33 eirgers . After stopping 'the . usual time there , it proceeded on its -way to Aiidover , but was fortunately st tpped . before it reached the tunnel by those Wha WCIU awara of the accident , and gave an aiar&i and intimation Of tU 8 occurreuce . Had the accident , token placeviwnen the men went to breakfast , and hot been perceived bj uuy one , a sacrifice of human life to an incalculaMu ex' . « rifc must have tak « n placs , as it was impossible for tho engiuo-drivers on approaching : the tunuel to observe that anyt ling was the matter , the brickwork at tho eutruuee , and to a depth o ithirty feet , . being stiil psi-fect Or had it taken plitce at a lats hcur of the evening Vr-hen the workmen ieft oft , and the- do-wn trains pass through it , it is even f ( ightfvii : to fancy the riilst-hisi that would have been doiie . aad the number of JiVfffl } . ; st .
During tb . » -whole \ i Saturday and jtscuvday iv number of workmen were employetl in removing ti .: o fallen materials , bus , as has been before stated , it will be some time before the tunnel is p . issabie . The f jllowing ata the names of the sufferers : — James ; Watmora , aged 58 , a married inaa with a family , dead . ; Charles Nyse , single , aged 20 , dead . James Aliert , single , aged 23 , dead .

> ANOXHER ACCOUNT . On Saturday morning last , nt fceu minutes before eight o ' clock , an accident of a . fright ful description topk-place at- 'Waller ' s Ash Tunnel ; by which four unfortunate men were crushed to death On the spot , and four others so dangerously injured that it ia very doubtful whether they will recover . Froin facts collected on tb « spot on Sunday morning , it appears that for some time past a dripping of a chalky appearance "was observed to fall from the archway or roof of the Waller ' s Ash Tunnel , and particularly within about thiity feet of the mouth at tha southern or VVincbester end . This dripiiiiaghad recently increased to such an extent that the attention of the engineer was called to it * and it -was found , upon
examination , that the e&tla over the tunnel was Brightly giving way , auu inclining to a centre from a diameter oi from twenty to thirty feet , and this was supposed to have been occasioned by boring made previous to the formation of the tunnel . This was done , it is said , to ascertain the natura of the soil , and its effect was to weaken the earth about it , and leave a fissure , through which the Substance before ' .-. mentioned rnarte its way , and ultimately loreed ' . itself . ' - through the brickwork or arch of the tunnel underneath . To prevent the fur ^ ther sinking , about a dozen men were set to work , about a fertnight ago , to remove the chaik frcm the surface to the extent oi the falling in , and they had succeeded in excavating to a depth of nesily fifty feet ; - "" - : - ; •" ' ¦ ' " ' ¦ . - ¦ - . .. : ' - ¦ ..
