Accmsn es thr Geeit Wktsbh Railwat . —On Tuesday the greatest alarm prevailed at all the stations on this line , in consequence ef the delay of several train ? , occasioned by an accidental the Heading station in the morning , which although it placed the lives of passengers in great jeopardy , wa « most providentially anattended with any fatal
conea-[ sequences . The down train which , arrives at Readmgat 850 a . m . had duly reached there , and after the usual stoppage it started again . Within , however , a very short distance of the station a shiftfrom Ihe present main line on to the branch line of the Berks and Hants Railway , about to be opened , is being made ; in consequence a temporary crossing for the trains on the down line is placed between both railway ? , and while the train was returning from the branch on to the regalardown line the engine called the Lightning , owing to an incline which raised it on one side , and a sharp curve , with undue speed , got off the rails , and the wheels and fore-part « era embedded in the earth som e depth . Fbrttwately it did not ran down the embankment . or
tbe result must have proved most disastrous . The affrighted passengers were all greatly alaraed at the sudden stoppage of the train ; and soon ' retreated back to tbe station , when fortunately it was found that no one had sustained any material injury , bolh the engine-driver and Btoker escaping unhurt * An express was forwarded immedia ely np and down- 'he line with the intelligence . The engine and tender were completely in a 'fix , * andbloeked np all iCorammieation on the dewn line . Every effort was wed for a longwhile ^ to taisa both off the line , and at one time four engines were brought for the purpose , but all endeavours to remove them from their difficult situation , where they still remain , were unavailing . While this was going on , all the down trams en arriving at Readiag , a » well as at . the upper stations , were atopped .

The inhabitants were promptly on the spot , but , from the inadequate power of those present till the arrival of an engine from a parochial district nothing stayed the progress of the destructive elemerit . About one o ' clock several engines from London arrived , but , unfortunately , they could not be provided with the necessary sapply of water , having to rapily each other from a lareeditAsome distance
from the fltmes ; yet , such were the exertions of the firemen , they saved the dwelling house , as also the barn , bnt th « sheds for the reception of beasts , four stacks of hay , oufc-buildines , and considerable ether property were destroyed . " At three o ' clock the fire , men had succeeded in their efforts in allaying any further alarm , though it wasneeeissary to keep two engines working to preserve five staeksof hay left in jeopardy . It wa * ascertained that Mr Clarke is insured , in the Sun Firc-effice , so that the object of the ineendiary , in that respect will be thwarted . The loss cannot be estimated at less than £ 700 . or £ 600 . The hone and foot metropolitan police rendered every assistance .

Witness tried on soveral pairs , butnone would fit . He went up stairs into the wartroam , but could not find a pair that would do , and he camo down and told tbe prisoner he had none that would suit , but he would take his measure and sake a pair . The prisoner said he was in a hurry for the boots j and he requested witness again to go up stairs and see if he
conld not find a pair . Witness did as requested , but , being unsuccessful , he came down again and / took the prisoner ' s measure and also his nama and address , ; The next day the boots were sent to Curzon-street , and paid for . Shortly afterwards two embroidered Blippersjone red and the otheryellow , and both for the same foot , were missed from the window . The sl ' ppers were worth 12 s ; , and witness had leen them safe in the window when Lord Fowlett was in the shop , Witness also recollected that he saw a red slipper in Lord Fowlett ' s bands when he was coming down stairs from the wareroom , —William Allen , shopman , said that as soon as the slippers were missed , and s nsplo ' en had arisen against the prisoner ha was instructed to go to Carzon . street , and make inquiries .

to the footman , he received a message from his Lord * ship , that be had taken tho slippers , and they were then in the houae .

no inteajiwof stealing them .

It was a question , however , to bo decided b y a jury , if the prosecutor thought fit to proceed further . —The foreman said bis originaHmpressidn of the case was in some degree altered by the view taken by the magistrate of the whole affiir . la the absence of instructions - from- h ' U employer , he should not be disposed to go further .

¦' :. ¦ : ¦ : v v ? RULES , &o . .-. This society , composed of natives of Great Britain , France , Germany , Scandinavia , Poland , Italy , Switzerland , Hungary and other couatries , has for its I ¦ ¦ : ' , . - OBJECT . . the mutual enlightenment of its members ; and the propaganda of the ' great principle embodied in the society ' s motto : — . ' IK mm are brethren ' The members of this society agree to adopt the following . . DBCLiBATIOX O 7 TRi : iCIPLBa .
: In accordance with the above declaration of the brotherhood of the human race , we renounce , repudiate , and condemn all political hereditary inequalities and distinotions . of caste ; ' consequently , we regard kings , aristocracies ; and classes monopolising political privileges in virtue of tjbeir possession of property , as usurpers and violators " of the principle of human brotherhood . :: GovernmeBts elected by , and responsible to , the entire people ! is our political creed . " ' " , . : ' We declare that the earth with all its natural nro .
dhctions is the common property of all ; we therefore denounce all infractions of this evidently just and natural law , as robbery and usurpation . We declare that the present state of society , which permits idlers and schemers to monopolise the fruits of the earth . and the pri > £ nctions of industry , and compels the working classes to labour'for inadequate rewards , and even condemns them , to ' social slavery , destitution and degradation , is essentially , unjust . That labour and rewards should be equal ia our social creed . ;
We condemn the . 'national' hatreds which have hitherto divided mankind , as both foolish and wicked ; foolish ; because no , one can decide for himself the country he will be born in ; arid wicked , as proved by the feuds and bloody wars whioh . have desolated the earth , in consequence of these ' national vanities . Convinced , too , that national prejudices have been , in all ages , taken advantage of by tbe people ' s op . preaaors . 'to set ; them'tearing the thiroats ol each other , when they should have been working together for their oqmmon " good , this society repudiates the term 'Foreigner , ' no matter by , or to whom applied . Onr moral creed is to receive onr fellow men , withoat regard t 6 cbutatry , ' as . meraber 8 ot one . family , the human race ; arid citizens of one commonwealth—the world . ' 'Finally ; we recognise that great moral law , ' Do unto thy brother , as thou . wouldest thy brother should do unto thee , ' as the great safeguard of public and private happiness . ¦

vDuBouciii Attempts 10 Ovhbthbow RutwAT Tbaihs . —Some abominable , miscieants , who ; ' it is hoped , will be discovered , and visited with the severest penalties which the law can impose , have latterly made some attempts to overthrow the trains on the Taff Vale Railway , which , but for their most providential discovery ; would hare occasioned a large sacrifice of human life . Some short time since the villains turned the points on the . line , whereby they perilled the destruction of a train freighted with human beings ; fortunately for whom the attempt proved unsuccessful . This week they adopted still more nefanou * means , by breaking up two of the rails As a passengertrain-on'Wednesday afternoon had iuat emerged from the Merthyrside of the tunnel the engineer perceived something wrong with the rai ' ls ' at a point where the line passes along the rid <» e of a van
precipitous descent overhanging the river . He im mediately put on th * breaks and slacked the pace of tne . train , but was unable to atop its progress before it reached the point in question . The engine-driver was thrown off with a violent shock , but very nrovl ' dentially he was thrown off on the right side of the hne , where there were more extended Bide banks Had it goneonthe oppositeside , the whole train must have fallen into the river , and the sacrifice ot life must have been very considerable . Upon examining the spot it was found that rails had been taken off on either side , and as a train had passed but twenty minutes before , they must have been removed with considerable speed , and evidently by persons who understood iheir work . A searching inquiry will be instituted , and will , it is hoped , lead to the apprehension of the offenders ; In the meantime , a more active watoh will be kept over the line ¦ >

is no man more deservingoftbishigli trust ^ or better disposed to perform the duties of his station with honour and honesty , and impartiality ; * Oa Friday , the 10 th , the-frienda of Mr Reynolds met , according to requisition , in the RoyslEscbange , todevise measures for the support of their excellent representative ag . Vinst the machinations of his enemi » s . The m » etirig was large and highly respectable , and the utmBJt ' erithusiasm in tbe cause of tbe brave Reynolds and'Repeal was evinced by all present . The chair was taken by « ur patriotic townsman , Alderman John JCeshan , than whom a more worthy or respectable gentlemen ; in every relation of life , this city does not boast . : The resolutions entered into were worthv ofthe cause , and if Mr Reynolds should
unfortunately be busted from the proud position he occupies , he cannot lay it to his friends or constituents . There is an . man mere popular than he is in his native city , and everybody seems tohave implicit conGdenee in his virtue and manliness . Amongst the most ; remarkable occurrences of this Bleating , waif the appearance , of ,- the well-known ¦ Rev ; Thresliam Gre ' ser , He . sairieon tbe . platform . and claimed to be heard , which claiin-was politely , granted b ) theohairmatj .- / He appear « io 1 i < 'be said , ' riot , to oppose the proceedia ^ or ' cleftfe < j « ite the object of the mwUnst . ( He had so svwpathy ' whutever with those who ' gnught , to oust Mr : Revnoldsfromth 8 representati 6 n of Dublin . j . For MrtReyriolds , personally , be bad the greatest respeat , and felt folly confident of'his . honour and integrHy , . but still he equldaiot-conscientionsly refrain from expressine his . eonvictiontbatno Roman
Cathol ' e shnuid sit in parliament ; and , therefore , . . aa . Mr , Reyaolds was a member ofa chureh whosedoo ^ ines were anti-Christian : and idolatrous , he , was nbt a proper person to represent the ihleresls of tbe Protestants of Dublin in the Imperial Senate . Oil these groands , therefore , and on these alone , be appeared to dissent from ihe resolutions of the meeting ; arid would more that itdo adjourn jm «< fle . ' . This motion , which was reeeived in the best of good ; humour , was seconded by a person named Harper , but being put from the chair , was negatived , amidst a hurricane of cheers , laughter , and badinage . NoinjuU , however , was offered to that singular eccentric-minded gentleman , Mr Grege , who , finding himself foiled in hi « object , retired from the meeting , evidently on the best terms with himself and those who so kindly listened to his foolish and unmeaning rhodomontade . ... . ¦ .
Talking of Thresbam Gregg , reminds me of apainfultaskl have to perform—namely , to record the death of the world-renowned polemical champion of Catholicity , the Reverend Father Thomas Msguire , who , I regret tosay , on last Thursday week ,- the 2 nd instant , rendered his noble spirit to h ' iB Creator . I seed not say , that Father Msguire was one ofthe greatest men that Ireland , or perhaps Europe , produced in the present century . He was born in 1797 ! and after undergoing the usual preparatory studies , was ordained priest in Maynooth in 1833 . In 1827 , his famous discussion with the Rev . Mr Pops took place in Dublin , and n ? ain in 1838 he broke a lance with the celebrated Thresbam Gregg !! I nerd not now allude to the effects or consequences of these famous discussions . < . Mr Pope , bis earlier antagonist , was certainly a gentleman in his conduct and demeanour on the occasion , and is every respect
. , A foeman worthy of the steel ofthe immortal Father Tom ; but as for Thresbani , I will only say that what he lacked in theological or polemical skill jwaaaburi'dantly supplied by buffoonery , and bigotry , > ndvulgarity . The Rev . Mi Maguire died of gout in the stomach . He was but eleven days complaining , j His funeral took place on the 6 th , when hi * remain ? , amid the pompous ceremonies ofhischureb , and the sighs , and tears , and 'blessings , ' of thousands of all ranks and glasses , were laid in the lonely little churchyard of KHIedavit , in the same grave with the bones of hia venerated uncle , the late Roman Catholie Bishop of Kilraore .
Another bright ornament of Irish society , too , has bid adieu to this earthly ssene . Judge Burton . died athis , residence in this city on last Friday , the 10 th instant . Justice Burton was a native of England , and at the dose of , the last century travelled into Ireland , in the employment of an extensive mercantile firm of , I believe , Liverpool . Chance brought him into contact witk the celebrated Curran , then asqendiBjrto the zenith of hig glory in Ireland . He quickly discovered in the young Englishman talents ofa high order . He advised him to study the law . Mr Burton acquiesced , and in 1793 was ealled to the Irish bar . His career ever since was eminently fortunate . He . was universally admired , and his decisions never failed to give satisfaction . In proof of his fitness for bis high . functions , I need only remark , that Mr O'Connell need to say publicly that Judge Burton was the most honest lawyer of his day , and the brightest ornamentof the Irish judicial bench . Ho had just attained his ninetieth year . .
