The Late Railway Accident.
THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT .
We stated last week that an accident had occurred to a North Midland train at the Barnsley station , by which a gentleman had lost his life . The deceased was Mr . Robert Harvey , a commercial traveller from Glasgow . An inquest was held on his body on Friday last , at the Barns-ley station , before Thos . Lee , Lsq ., and the following is a summary of the evidence adduced : — William Horbury , of Cudworth , watchman on the North Midland Railway , at the BarnEley station , said , —I saw the deceased lyine under the broken carriages befor « I went up the line . There was no whistle made or signal given by the luggage train as it was coming up . I should say it was coming at the rate of about twenty-five miles an hour . At that speed , and within abont 100 or 150 yards of the other train , the luggage train could not be stopped without a collision . The luggage train was four hours behind its time .
Jo ? eph Towndrow , of Royston—I am one of the porters at the Barnsley station . Immediately after the passenger train arrived I went out with the signal , and proceeded down to the Iron-bridge , a quarter of a mile from the station , and heard the luggage train coming . I heard the engine coming at a fast pace . The weather was foggy ; and I waved the signal , which was a red signal lamp , backward and forward . As the driver came nearly to me , I waved my hat and signal , thinking that as there was snow en the ground , he might see the contrast of colours .
To Mr . Homer—The tram , as near as I can tell , was going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour . It wa « much faster than he ought to hava gone on that part of the line , and faster than merchandise trains usually go . He ought to have had his steam off a mile 5 rom the station , considering the speed he was going at , and to have sounded a whistle before he came to the station . 1 did not see a guard or any oth ? r person on tfce train . W . Allen , engineman at the Barnsley station—1 heard the luggage train coming , and I should say it wa 3 commg at the rate of twenty-fiTe miles an hour , which is a speed too fast for a luggage train in ^ nch a fog as there was that morning . Joseph Beard , one of the guards of the North Midland Railway Company—Ifonr engineman had been accustomed to stop at the station , and acquainted with our custom , he would have placed the train in a different position , so that we should have got away
sooner . To the Foreman—There have been great irregularities since the new enginemencame . I have never brought a train in at itb propeT time since the change took place . W . Prime Marshall , of Derby , superintendent of the locomotive department , said—Edward Jenkins has been employed as engine-driver since the time of the change , nearly three wt' -ks ago . I Eelect the engine-drivers myself , and I considered Jenkins competent for the situation . In a case of fog ,
additional precaution is to bo taken , by checking the speed sooner and greater nse of the _ whistle . Twentyfive miles an hour ib not an excessive speed for a lug gage train for the main line , and , having run at that speed into the station , it is evident that Jenkins had mistaken the place he was at . It was his duty to look out , and he has been very negligent in this case . The luggage train was not obliged to stop at the Barnsley station ; but , it being in a fog , he ought to have whistled and gone through the station with caution .
Samuel Stocks—I was stoker to Jenkins yesterday morning . It was a very thick foggy morning . It appeared as if we could not see ten yards ; to my knowledge I never saw it worse . Jenkins did not make a whistle as we approached ^ the station . We do sometimes pass stations at 25 miles an hour . Edward Jenkins , after ha ring been cautioned , said —It was a very mi 3 tj merning , and as soon as I 88 w the signal Ireversed the engine . I sent the fireman to the tender-break to turn it . I held down the safety valves , on account of more pressure . The morning was so foggy , and the rails so slippery , that the engine took no hold of the rails . After an absence of a few minutes , the Jury roturned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Edw . Jenkins . Jenkins was accordingly committed for trial at the next York Assizes .
The Foreman of the Jury then addressing the Directors of the North Midland Railway Company , who were present in the room , said , We think the Roilroad Company are very highly to blame for employing such inefficient men , and not having a sufficient number to attend the stations . We think the accident might possibly have been prevented if there had been a sufficient number of men at the Barnsley station , to get off the passenger train in due time . " Mr . Hudson ( one of the Directors ) —Allow me to say that there are the same number as there have been for some months . The Foreman—There aTe not bo many as there have been since I have known the station . Mr . Hudson then intimated that the Directors would pay proper attention to the observations of the Jury . This concluded the inquest , and the Ourt separated at nine o ' clock .
Derby , Further Accidents , —Saturday Night —This evening a collision took place between two coke trains within a mile or two of Derby , which though not attended with loss of life , smashed one of the engines to pieces , and did considerable damage besides . It appears that the engine of the first coke train could not get along ( a common occurrecce since the change of the enginemen , owing to the reduction of wageB ) , and the consequence was that before reaching Derby , another coke train overtook it . The guard on the first train exhibited the signal light , which is a glaring red light , but still the train approached nearer and nearer without any abatement of the speed , and the guard had only jast time to jump off the first train , when a tremendous collision took place , and the engine of the second train was shattered . No lives were lost . Yesterday we had narrow escape of a dreadfnl
calamity . A passenger-train was leaving the Derby station for Nottingham , when a North Midland luggage train came up ; and had it not been fur the extraordinaiy presence of mind of the points-man , a collision must have taken place , and the passengertrain would undoubtedly have gone over the embaukmeut . The points-man turned the passengertrain into another line just in time to prevent the collision . Public feeling here is very strong against the Company ; and the writer of this has heard many people declare that until a better regulation takes place , and more experienced drivers are put on , they will not travel by the North Midland . Stoppages on the line are frequent . A number of engines have been totally spoilt for want of management . An incendiary fire took place at the station on Thursday night . Several carriages were destroyed .

Dron had given a faithful account of the proceedings at the said Conference , the following resolution was carried unanimously : — " That we highly approve of the conduct of our delegates at the Conference held at Birmingham , and consider , by the judicious exercise of the trust reposed in them , that they have given a decided proof that we will not for any party , or under any pretence , sacrifice principle for expediency ; and that we will u ? e our utmo .-t endeavours , by legal and peaceable means , to obtain our rights ; and that the certain mpans to obtain them , and ensure prosperity , contentment , and happiness universally , is by causing the People ' B Charter to become the law of the land . " It was also announced that a lecture would be given on Tnesday evening next to commence at eight o ' clock , and discussion invited .
Clebkenwell . —The Chartists of this district held their weekly meeting for the transaction of business on Monday evening last , when some new members took out their cards . This body , which was commenced a few weeks back , by one or two individuals , now promises to become as powerful as any locality in London . The members intend hiring a large room for the purposes of lectureB and public meetings , D 0 RK 1 NQ , Surrey . —Late on Saturday night a fire was discovered in a flour mill , called Westcott Mill , about a mile and a half from this town , the property of Mr . James Bravery , an extensive corndealer , miller and farmer . The person who first discovered the fire , upon entering the premises , found
that the door of the mill had been broken open , and the windows been thrown open , which leaves no doubt but that it had been entered and wilfully set on fire ; the windows , no doubt , were thrown open to give velocity to the flames , and the wind . blowing rather strong , the whole of the mill , together with its contents , which consisted of about 200 quarters of grain and meal , were completely destroyed before assistance could be procured . The property des'royed is estimated at £ 2000 , none of which was insured . This is the fourth incendiary fire that has occurred in the vicinity of Dorking within the last ten or twelve mouths , and not the slightest trace has yet been discovered of the perpetrators , although a reward of £ 470 has been offered for the apprehension of the offender or offenders .
HAWICK . —On Monday week , in Mr . Munro ' s Chapel the Rev . Patrick Brewsrer , according to announcement , gave an account of the proceedings of the Conference . His address lasted about two hours , and he took up most of that lime ^ attempting to jas'ify himself for the part he had acted at the Conference , and laboured -hard to make it appear that the delegates were bound by the terms of the invitation to give the preference to any document wHoh the Council pleased to lay before them . He declared himself a Chartist , he gloried in the name of Chartist , &c , but still ho felt that he was bound to act with the Complete Suffrage party ! Sheffield . —Mr . Parkes preached a sermon in the Fig Tree Lane Room , on Sunday evening last , the subject of his discourse being , ihe Church of Christ versus Church Establishments .
Mr . Samuel Kidd , of Glasgow , one of the delegates from that city to the late Conference , visited Sheffield on Monday last , and the same evening lectured m the Fig Tree-lane Room . Mr . Parkes was called to the chair , and introduced Mr . Kidd , who delivered an eloquent and soul-stirring address , which occupied two hours in the delivery . The room was crowded by an enthusiastic audience , who testified their approbation of the eloquent lecturer ' s discourse by ioud and repeated cheers . Mr . Con Murray , another of the delegates from Glasgow , should have lectured on Tuesday evening , but did not reach Sheffield in time . Mr . Murray accompanied by Mr . Harney , left Hull by the
Thome packet , at ten o'clock , on Tuesday morning , and ought to have reached Sheffield at nve o ' olock in the evening , but owing to the very unfavourable weather , the packet did not reach Thome till five o ' clock . As the night advanced , the storm increased , and the coach did not reach Sheffield till half-past nine o'clock . The meeting was of course ' disappointed in not hearing Mr . Murray , whose place was , however , ably supplied by Mr . Kidd , who delivered a second address replete with sound argument and sterling eloquence . Ou the motion of Mr . Cartledge , the thanks of the . meeting were voted to Mr . Kidd for his two able lectures . Mr . Kidd acknowledged the compliment , and the meeting dissolved . :

Leeds . —On Sunday afternoon and evening , Mr David Ross , from Manchester , delivered two very eloquent discourses , in the Room , Cheapside . Such was the desire of the people of this town to hear him , that the place was crowded to suffocation both times . He appeared to give universal satisfaction At the conclusion an unanimous vote of thanks was
given-to him . The Chairman then introduced the business of the Association . A motion was made " That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr . Brook , for his valuable services during ine past year as sub-Secretary to the Association . " The Chairman put it to the meeting , and declared it carried unanimously . It was then moved and seconded , "That Mr , Brook be requested to continue his services as sub-Secretary to the Association for the ensuing twelvemonths . " This was also carried unanimously . Mr .

persons have subscriptions for the same object , they are desired to bring them in as soon as possible to Mr . Brook , in order that all may go together . On Tuesday ni « ht , at the weekly meeting , the only business of importance was the nomination of five persons as a committee to examine the books uf the Executive , agreeable to a resolution passed at a meeting of Chartists at Birmingham . After a little discussion , the following were carried : —Mr . J . H . Pariy , London ; Mr . Christopher Doyle , Manchester ; Mr . Bernard M'Cartney , Liverpool ; Mr . N .

aeration at the time of bis conviction . It will not be necessary now to enter into any lengthened details of the circumstances which led to his transportation ; suffice it to say that he told the Judge on bis trial " that he was most innocent of the charges preferred , and that ho could have proved such to the satisfaction of the court , but being too poor to support his witnesses up to that time , they bad to leave town , and therefore he must suffer . " The present situation of bis wife and family is we understand most deplorable ; hence we hope this appeal will not be made in vain .
Englishmen , reflect on the situation of this unfortun&te family , who are now pining amidst want and misery ; whose home is made desolate by the myrmidons of tyranny and oppression—the husband banished from bis native land—his wife , his family , and all that is dear to man , to linger through a miserable existence in wretchedness and misery ! and for what ? Why , because ( as he stated to the judge ) he bod not the means of buying justice . Our object in thus addressing yon , is to raise a sufficient fund to purchase for his unfortunate wife a mangle , so that she may obtain a livelihood by her own industry , for herself and children , and thus render her independent of public subscriptions .
This bumble appeal , on her behalf , will we feel fully assured , meet with immediate and favourable consideration from every humane disposition . Her hua band , herself , and family , are victims for the cause of liberty—they claim our sympathy , and surely if a small sum will procure the above article , and render her and bev family comparatively comfortable , it is our solemn duty to see they do not starve .

Peddie ' s time commenced on the 5 tb of March , 1840 , and will expire on the 4 th of March , 1843 . Let his friends therefore look te it . TODMOBDEN" . —Magistrates' Room , Friday , Jan . 6 . —Three persons were brought before James Taylor , Esq ., whose names are John Crowther , Wm . Overeud , and Thomas Stunsfield , for cutting Mr . Joseph King ' s coat . It appeared from the evidence of William Crossley , that Crowther
and StansSeld kept the complainant in talk while Overend cut his coat . Mr . Bloomley , attorney , appeared for the prisoners ; he cross-examined Crossley but without shaking his evidence at all . He then called Richard Chaffer , Ashworth Earnshaw , and Thomas Smith , and they all swore that Overend was not in the room they were in that day , but his worship convicted Overend and Stansfield in Is . 6 d . each and expenses , and Crowther to find sureties , or in default thereof they were to go a month to prison , but eventually he liberated Crewther , and committed the other two fourteen days .
The League and the League ' s Fund . —On Wednesday week , placards appeared ou the walls of Todmorden , informing the people that an anti-Corn Law tea party would take place on Monday , in the Wesleyan Association School Room , after which they would adjourn to the Chapel , to hear addresses from R . R . R . Moore , and John Bright , of Rochdale . The charge to the tea party and lectures was one shilling , or sixpence to the lecture . When Mr . O'Connor came to Todmorden , the Council waited upon tho tho trustees , to try to take the School Room , and tho answer they got was that they could not let it for a political purpose ; they informed them that the League had had it once for fauch a purpose . They said , " Yes , but they
were not aware at the time that there was a rule upon their books strictly prohibiting all such meetings . " They distinctly stated that neither the League nor any other party should have it again . The Chartists , seeing that the League were for making money out of them , came to the conclusion to keep away . The Bill stated that no tickets would be issued after Saturday night , but when Saturday night came , they had only sold about 150 ; they , therefore , on Monday took a very good plan to get rid of the tickets ; they placed a quantity in the hands of their slave drivers , and sent them round tho mills , stating to the people that they might have a ticket without paying for it just then , and if any one refused U > have one they looked daggers at him .
They managed to get rid of about 408 with such proceedings as these . When the meeting commenced there was a tolerable good muster , to say it was called by the League . Mr . R . R . R . Moore had to take the begging department , and a right good cadger he is ; he told the natives that if they would only give largely they would receive a greater reward when the Corn Laws wore repealed . What struck me most at the time was the manner of collecting tho money . They had got cards printed and ciiculated ^ tnem in the meeting along with a pencil , and parties had to vmte what they intended to give upon the cards . This was a new move , and calculated to force the people to give contrary to their opinions ; for who durst refuse to give when their employers were staring them in the facet They might as
well have gone to each operative and said " You must either give something to the League fund or else you must take the bag and walk . " After they had collected tho cards , Mr . Moore got up and said , if there was any one that after giviug the thine consideration , thought he had not given enough , he requested them to speak up ; this was an arranged plan , for individuals rose from different parts of the room and altered their subscriptions , g ome doubling the amount ; thiB was done , no doubt , to show those who had not given up to tho mark . Thero never was in Todmorden such shameful conduct beforeeven their own friends cry shame on them , and with all they could do they only got that night £ 150 . Thfy put the subscription they had made before to it , to make the people think they had got more than they really had . —Correspondent .
lYIAKSDEN ' . —Mechanics' Institute . —The first anniversary of the above institute , which had been in existence little more than one year , was held in the large room of the Institute , on Friday night , the 6 th inst . Its founders ( three in number , ) have , during the last twelve mouths , been most incessant in their labours . Many and great were the obstacles they had to encounter , but perseverance overcame every difficulty . Whatever was considered by them as requisite for the well-being of the society , measures were immediately taken for its obtainment . In justice to Mr . Taylor , one of the founders , we
should eay that his individual efforts and sacntices , including time and money , are almost unparalleled . His general oharacter is an exemplification of the tendency of the acquirement of knowledge to ameliorate and elevate the dispositions of men These high and pleasureable attainments , stimulate within his generous soul , a desire to see them more generally diffused and appreciated ; and up to the present time his most sanguine expectations have been more than realised . About 200 of both sexes , sat down to tea ; after which the president and other speakers delivered appropriate addresses , and the business of the evening passed off most agreeably .
LEEDS . —Extensive Felony . —We last week stated that a clerk in the employ of Messrs . Ward and Son , solicitors , had absconded , with a considerable sum of money in his possession . He was apprehended at Bristol on Wednesday last , by Mr . Read , chief-constable of this borough , with two hundred sovereigns , two £ 20 Bank oF England notes , two £ 5 notes , and a large quantity of valuable jewellery in his possession . Ho had also a lady with him , whom he had taken from Sheffield ; he denies that he has been married to her . He was brought before the magistrates at the Court-house on Friday ( yesterday ) and the principal part of the depositions were taken against him , but in consequence of the absence of two material witnesses he was remanded until Wednesday next . The witnesses examined were bound over to prosecute at York . The prisoner has a wife and two children , whom he had left in Leeds . The amount he " bolted" with was £ 575 17 a . 3 d .
Stealing a Watch . —On Friday ( yesterday ) a private soldier in the 32 nd , named James Porter , wa 3 brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on a crarge of having stolen a silver watch , the property of Mr . Sowrey , pawnbroker , Commercial-street . The prisoner went into Mr . Sowrey ' s shop on Thursday evening , and asked to look at a watch , which he said he wanted to purchase . A hunting" watch was shown to him , for which he was asked £ 2 10 s . ; he offered £ 2 , and on its being refused , he darted out of the ghop and took the watch with him . He had a comrade named Jones , who was standing looking into Mr . Green ' s shop , and to " whom he called out when he ran away . They were both taken into custody , but Jones was discharged ; Porter was committed for trial , his identity being distinctly sworn to by three witnesses .
Supposed Child Murder *—Under this head , in our last , we stated that a child had been taken out of a mill dam , in Camp-road . The adjourned inquest was held on Thursday evening , when no additional evidence could be adduced , the police having made every enquiry after the mother without success . The Jury therefore returned a verdict , leaving the cause open for adjudication by the magistrates , should any evidence at a fnture period be produced to criminate any party . Bail . —On Thursday evening last , a ball was given in the Music Hall , Albion ^ street , by the LeedB SquadroD of Yorkshire Hussars . It was attended by Lieutenant Colonel Beckett , M . P ., the officers of tee 17 th Lancers- and the 32 nd Foot , and a large and fashionable assembly , including General Brotherton , Sir Clifford and Lady Constable , &o . &c . The band was ably led by Mr . George Spencer , and galopades , quadrilles , waltzes , and cohtre dances were kept up until six o ' clock next aoraing .

Verdict , " Accidental Death . " Stealing Silver Plate . —On Monday last , a bone-grubber , named James Griffia , was committed for trial at the next borough sessions , for having " walked off " with a small silver waiter and a pair of sugar nippers , from the house of Mr . Fenton , hosier , in York-place . These bone-grubbers are the greatest nuisances that infest the town ; there is nothing , except it is either too hot or too heavy , that they iwill not " bag . "

Butterfield and Robert Hardesty , who were apprehended at an early , hour on Saturday morning with a number of dead ] fowls , some keys , and a "jemmy" in their possession , were sent to Wakefieid House of Correction for three months each , as rogues and vagabonds , no owner having been found for the fowls , which are suspected to have been stolen .

They had defrauded a young " green horn , " named Henry Nicholson , out of a sum of money , but he did not think proper to make a public exhibition of himself . The constable and a witness , however , were able to prove the case , and being old hands , and well known to the Leeds police , they were sent to Wakefieid for three months , to perform on the treadmill , instead of with thimbles and peas .
Stealing from Employers . —Three men are in custody , and are remanded for further examination , on a charge of having robbed to a serious extent , Messrs Stead and Simpsons , curriers and shoemakers , Kirkgate , in whose employ they have been since April last . Their names are John Fearce , Wm . Sebrfdge , and W . Hastings ; they are all from Northampton , and were engaged by a foreman there , in Messrs . Stead and Simpsons' employ , against whom a warrant has been issued , on a charge of being concerned in the theft . The v < ilue of the property at present recovered is from . £ 25 to £ 30 , and consists of all descriptions of leather , cloth for men ' s and women ' s boots , linings , &c . The gTOss amount missing is very considerable . Pearce resided in Burmantofts , and the other two prisoners lodged with him . Hastings confessed that he had a suit of clothes made from cloth stolen from the prosecutors .
Death from Excessive Drinking . —On Monday an inquest was held at the Court-House , before John ! Blackburn , E ? q ., on the body of John Sharp , a milJer , twenty-nine years old , who residt-d at the bof . om of Kirkgate . The deceased , on Friday last , was drinking at the house of Mr . Terry , the Britannia Inn , Well'ngton-street , and -wheu he left there he was in such a state of intoxication as not to be able to stand , and on leaving the house , ho fell down some steps into the street . Two men afterwards took him home , and on the road he became so bad that they were obliged to get a coach . The man [ never spoke after he got home . The jury returned a verdict to the effect , that the man died from [ congestion of the brain , produced by intoxication . ?
Dreadful Accident on thk North Midland jRailway . —We regret to have to . record the occurrence of a very dreadful accident upon the North Midland Railway , which took place on Tnursday morning last ; and which occasioned the destruction of property of considerable value , and , what was of infinitely more importance , sacrificed the life of a human being . The circumstances under which this calamity occurred were as follows : —On Tharsday last , a passenger train from Leeds to Derby left tho station in this town as usual , at five o ' clock in the morning . There were only three passenger carriages , a first , second , and third class connected with it , and in front of these , betwixt them and the tender , were placed some waggons loaded with goods . Mr . Carey ,
the leader of the band of the 32 nd regiment of foot , now stationed in Leeds , and the unfortunate gentleman ( whose life has bean sacrificed , Mr . Harvey , a commercial traveller for the house of Findlay , Maclean and Co ., of Glasgow , were the only two passengers in the train . On arriving at Normanion , it wajs found that a luggage train , which , ought , in due eourse , to have left that station at four o ' clock in the morning , was still remaining there , in consequence ! as we understand , of some temporary defect in the engine ; aud as it was still not ready to proceed , jthe passenger train went ou and left it behind . It stopped at the Barnsley Slation to take in water , and jwbilst there , Mr . Carey , having just before got put of the train , and the engine-drivers being also busied outside in making arrangements , the luggage-train came in sight , and , notwithstanding that two men , with signal lamps , took their station at the usual and' proper time , to
warn ] the driver of the presence of the other train , the luggage train held on and did not stop until it came violentl y in contact with the passenger train , and shattered instantaneously the whole of the three passenger carriages to absolute splinters . Mr . Harvjpy , who was the only man in the earriage , had the upper part of his head completely taken off , from beneath the forehead , as was supposed by som <> projecting part of the engine , and his brains scattered ] in all directions , but the rest of his body escaped without a bruise . Of course he was instantly dead . The stoker of the luggage-engine had also his hand fractured , and it is probable , will be obliged to have it amputated . Tho ont { ine-drh er himself escaped uninjured . The name of the driver of the luggage engine is Jenkins ; who states that he did not see the signal lamps displayed ; but that they were displayed seems to be beyond doubt , and it appears difficult to ascribe the Occident to any othericause than his carelessness . We are told that
the luggage train was proceeding at a velocity of nearly thirty miles an hour . An inquest was to be held yesterday afternoon .

AMERICA . By the New York packet-fhip , " New York , " Captain Cropper , sailing from that city on the 20 th ult ., papers to that date , being four days later than thoselbrought by the "Acadia" steam-ship , have been received , The latest dates from Europe were London , Nov . 18 ; Liverpool , I 9 ih ; Havre , 17 th ; and from j Canton , Sept . 24 . The Royal mail-packet Britannia was due , aud hourly expected , with 15 days later news . The news brought by this arrival is not particularly Important . A bill was brought idto Congress to repeal the Bankrupt Law , and was expeoted to be carried .
A Message was received from the President of the United States , setting forth that the reason why up action was had by him on the Bill to repeal the distribution clause of the Laud Bill , and the Bill regulating the taking of testimony in cases of contested elections , was their presentation to him just as _ Congress ^ was on the point of adjourr ment , owing to which he had not time to examine them before the adjournment took place . The Secretary of the Treasury had made bis report . Since the election of the Members of the present Congress , ten deaths have occurred among them—a larger number than ever died from the Members of any preceding Congress . There is nothing decisive from either Mexico or Texas .
With regard to the health of Sir Charles Bagot , we have contradictory statements . The New York Sun of the 17 th says— " Private letters from Kingston , to the British Consul , state that Sir Charles Bagot is fast recovering ; indeed , his health is so far restored that he drives out ; " while in that of the Idch we find the following : — " From Messrs . Pomeroy and Co . ' s express we learn that the latest advie ' es from Kingston represent the health of the Governor-General , Sir Charles Bagofc , as much worse . Bat slight hopes are entertained of his tecoTery . .
