LEEDS . —Accidekt on thb Railway . —On Saturday evening , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on view of the body of John Redman , a stoker , employed on the York and North Midland Railway . The deceased was with the ** Fire Fly" engine , and on Friday morning , at five o ' clock , left Leeds for York with a load of goods ; the eqgine returned with another train to Leeds , at which place it arrived a little before ten o ' clock . It appeared , from the evidence of an old maB , who saw the train passing , that previous to passing under the fifth bridge from Leeds ,
the feceased climbed from the tender on to the top of the first waggon , on which he was standing upr ight when his bead came into forcible contact with the bridge . On being removed to toe Lnfirmary , his scull was found not to hare been fractured , but compression of tho brain bad produced & s'upcfaction which ended in death in a very short time . The evidence of Mr . Allison , house surgeon to the Infirmary , west to show thlat the injuries thns described were sufficient to have produced the appearances exhibited by the deceased when brought to the Infirmary . Verdict , " Accidentally killed . ' The deceased wft ? nineteen years of age , and a very
steady young ttiiD . D&ath FaoM Poisoji . —On Wednesday morning , an inquest in * held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq M coroner , ou view of the body of Frederick Hanway Abraham , of Woodhouse-Jane , fancy stationer and lithographer , who died on Monday sight from having taken poison . Mr . Mor ' . ey , surgeon , deposed that be was called in to see the d . ceased on Monday night , about eleven o ' clock , at which time ne found him in a state of insensibility ; he was told then that be had taken poison , and
applied the usual remedies without effect . From all the appearances he was convinced that he had imbibed a narcotic drug ; the extremities were not cold , but he was fast sinking , and died m about an hour . On a pott mortem examination he found the body healthy ; the lungs dark , and fall of coagelated bleod ; the stomach contained about half-a-pint of liquid , and a fair share of solids ; be could not detect the smell of opium , but there w * s a slight smell of spirits . The opium would have evaporated . From ail appearances , Ehould say that tome powerful narcotic had been the cause of death . Had attended the
deceased on two or three previous occasions within the last twelve months ; on one occasion he was iabouring under delirium tremcns t and on another when more marked symptoms of mental deraage-, ment exhibited themselves . He had been unfortunate ; in business , and he had seen him lately when he api peared dejected . Miss Mary Booth , a relative of the ! deceased , deposed that he hwd been for some t ' . me in S a desponding state of mind ; the conld not tay that j ho had been more so latterly . He relnmed home j about ten o ' clock , on Monday night , at which t . ae j he appeared in a state of intoxication ; there was a
youug man with him , who stayed in the house a shcr ; ; time , and who , on coming near the deceased , re-S mariB # 4 ' to h : m tba ; he had been taking laudanum , . ' to which deceased mid i no direct reply a ; first , but I on being pressed , admitted that he had taken sorr . e ; laudanum to make him siecp . He-was nearly a-j i hour before he fell into a state of stnpor , and without ' say suspicion tuat he- had a-n intention to destroy , himself , they tnou ^ bt it better to scud frr the assisti ance of a surgeon . Mrs . Abraham guve similar evi' ¦ iunce u > the above , acd tke oroner having summed [ up , the jury returned a verdict that he destrojeo . himself whilst labouriue uuUer temporary insanity .

Public Meeting . —A pnblic meeting wm flailed on Monday evening last , for the purpose of eoneidering the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of the unjast syeteu of prison disciplioe which prevails in her Majesty ' s prisons or gaols at the present tine . On the motion of Mr . A . Gardner , Mr . Jonw was called to the chair . Mr . Stonehoose moved the first resolution , which had for its object the entire abolition of the present unjust sod nefarious eyttem of prison discipline . He commented upon the system resorted to especially in the Wakfcfield . NorthaUerton , and BeTetlet Houses of Correction , both to political offenders ana a'l kind of criminals . Mr . T . B . Smith moved the adoption of the petition , and in doing so , offered a lew
remarks npon the subject whten had that night called them together . He said that their object was not that of promoting the welfare of the Chartists who were in prison particularly , but th&t of the whole society of criminals—however degraded , however lowered in the estimation of all good men , or however great their crimes might have been—still they were men , aud had a right to be looked after as well as any other men . For these reasons had he eeme there that night : to tell the Government , and through the Government , the People , of the wrongB endured by the criminals who were cent to prison to be punished , and who , instead of being made better , were , under the present system , made worse . He contended that if a person went into Wakefield
House of Correction , under the present -state of things , for stealing from his neighbourithat which he had so right to , he would , when * he came oat , very likely take and murder that neighbour . He ¦ went on at great length , delivering severe blows on the Whigs , and on their unjust legislation , aud eoneluded by saying that until the people had the power in their own hands , such a system as the one whioh was now in existence would continue as long as man continued to exist . The adoption of the petition was seconded and carried amid loud applause . - The petition has appeared in the Star . Mr . M'Kealey then rose , and commented in severe terms upon the conduct of both Whigs and Tories , both while they were in and out of office . Thanks were then voted to the chairman , and the meeting dispersed .
Impbovemekt Commissioners . —On Wednesday afternoon , a special meeting of this body was held , to take into consideration an application which ha 4 been addressed to them by the directors of the water compauy , on the subject of providing an . ad ^ ditional number of fire plugs , for the service of tbe town in cases of fire . By the Act of Parliament under which the Water Works aro formed , it appears the directors are compelled to put down one fire plug iu every street . Thi . * , the company were doingjbut in the opinion of the engineer , G . Lffcther , E > q ., it would be highly beneficial if an additional two or three hundred were put down . The fire
offices had been applied to , and stated that they would not be one penny towards the expense , as it would act against their interest—a good fire being more beneficial to them than a plentiful supply of water . Mr . Leather slated that the expence of each plug : would be about 12 i . 6 d . A long desultory conversation ensued , which ended in a resolution being agreed to , appointing Messrs . Musgrave and King a sub-committee , to confer with Mr . Leather , with power to lay out any sum not exceeding £ 200 in the putting down any number of additional plugs , not exceeding three hundred . The meeting then broko up .
ExTisGvisaiKG Street Lamps . —On Wednesday , Patrick Tyu-. n , of Burley , cloth-dresser , was finod in the mitigated penalty of 10 i . and costs , besides Is . 6 d ., the value of a broken lamp , for having been detected by the nightly watch , on Sunday morning , in the aot of extinguishing the public lamps on Wellington Road . BtGGiNG Impostors . —On Wednesday last , three men , out of a gang of nine who had been apprehended by the police , were sent to Wakefield for three months each , for having , by means of forged document ? , purporting to be the regulations of the New Zealand Companv , obtained a sovereign from Mr . William . Beckett , M . P . There is no doubt that these parties would have levied considerable con * tributions upon the public had they not been thus stopped in their career . Other names were in their books , but we believe Mr . Beckett was tbe only victim . The other six were discharged .
UjfwnoLESOME Meat . —On Wednesday last , Thos . Bedford , of Gildereoue , butcher , appeared before the Magistrates , at tho Court House , to answer the complaint of Mr . Horner and the Leet Jury ^ Jbr having offered for tale the almost putrid carca ^ ^ C a pig , en the previous Friday . Tbe pig was seiwd and burnt ; and it not being offence Ho . 1 , the defendant was brought up , in" order that he might be bound over to answer any indictment whioh might be preferred against him at the Sessions . The Magistrates , after bearing the case , bound the witnesses over to prosecute , and ordered Bedford to enter into his own sureties in £ 1 ( 0 , to answer the charge at the Sessions .

Makcubsteb Cobh Mabket , Saturday , Szp . im . —Until Fnday morning the weather continued fine throughout the week , siuoe which we have had some heavy reins . Our advices from the agricultural counties of England note considerable progress iu the corn harvest ; and the late fine weather has materially improved the appearance of the crops in Ireland . The business of the week has been confided to a few sales of Flour aud Oatmeal for immediate consumption , and former prioes were not supported . There are again large supplies of Oa ^ ts and Oatmeal from Ireland . Of Foreign Wheat the imports comprise 19 , 631 quarters , in addition to 1 , 70 $ quarters of Wheat , and 10 , 504 barrels of Flour from
Canada . The duty on Foreign Wheat is now € 3 . 84 . per quarter , and on Flour 4 s . per barrol . At our market this morning there was less disposition tp press sales of Wheat , but we must note a decline of Id . to 2 d . per TOlbs . on our previous quotations . Choice qualities of Bnglish Flour were in moderate request at Is . to 2 s . per 280103 . below tbe rates of this day ge ' nnight ; and for any thing-perfectly sweet in Canadia Flour there was some inquiry at a reduction of fully Is . per barrel . The dwnand for Oata and old Oatmeal was extremely limited , at a redaction of 2 \» . per bushel aud Is . per load ; new Irish Oatmeal was retailed at 31 s . to 32 * . per 249 lbs . No change in tho value of Malt or Beans .
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET . { BX EXPRESS . ) September 10 . —We have only to report aver small supply of all articles today ; there is a decidedly better feeling in the Wheat trade , and the rates of last week are in some instances exceeded . Beans slow sale . Oats and Shelling fully as deary A little- new Barley appeared from Lincolnshire , - quality coarse , fur whioh 28 i . was obtained . We note no variation in other article ^ The Weather during the past two days has beeu very close , with some raia , and it still looks unsettled .

ADJOUBNED GENERAL SESSIONS AT WAKEPIELB .
APPLICATION OP A CHARTIST . Ob Wednesday l&st ; at noon , * n Adjourned Sestk « M of the WestBttiBf ni held at Wakefield , H » Rbt , J . A . KhodM in the ehair , for the porpose « f agreeing upon a site for a new House of Correetjon / or of determining upon the eulxrgeuent of the M f mw f it one . ¦ At » former Sessions » Gommittee bad bee * apyoiated , and they now reported that they had examined come five or six utes , all of which were « tW indirtfeie on account of their great price , or
• one ether drawback . The site of the present one , therefore , with sn addition of some seven or eight seres , was recommended , provided the addition eenld be reasonably obtained' , and to pre time for fkrther * rran / fem « nt « , the question and the Sessions were adjourned till the 13 th of October next . This business having bora disposed of , The Chairman said be understood that one of the prisoners wished to make some application to them , aad , with Ike eonesrresee of tbe other magistrate ? ,
requested Mr . Shepherd , the governor of the gaol , to let him come before them . William Asnton , one of the Chartist prisoners , then Bade his appearance . He was dressed in the prison € ress of grej frieze . He was very stout , and with the exception of an affection of one of his eyes , which he said had begun on the previous night , he appeared to be very healthy . His deportment before the mtgisttates was firm and manly , bat at the same time not oneourteoas . The Chairman asked—How loag have you been in prbon ! Wm . Atiiton—I have been eighteen months in
prison and have six months to stay . I wish to be * H « wed the use of writing materials . I have not bees allowed their use since I came in , and hire SBStained a , peat injury in consequence-. I can aeltber improve mv mind in one way or another . Mr . Sbepierd—He has bees allowed pea , ink , and paper to write . to bis friends . The Chairman—He wants the use of these materials to pat down his thoughts as they ari ^ e , I suppose . How do yon zoean ^ 0 jxerciae mcca 2 Ashton—O ! as 1 thinkjattper . The Chairman—Yes : but at what times I mexn ?
Asatoa—Only when I h » ve a kisure moment . Tbe Chairman—You do not mean to forego your l&boar ! Ashton— O ! no . The Chairman ( addressing himself to the magistrates)—The difficult ? I feel is this . This person las been guilty of a miedemeasoor . There are &t preeeai a great number of other persons -in this prison convicted of misdemcaaoars , and without reference to the nature of his misdemeanonr , nnderxoiog similsT punishment , I do not know how w « S » alo be jnstified in granting this privilege to one ' , aod vithboidiag it from others . How far w % , should be justified in granting it to all . is matter of serious ¦ consideration . ( To Ashton)—If you have any other applications to make , you had better state them , and then we will determine what answer to give to
Ashton—I wish for the privilege of seeing my frieeds more than one &t a time . The rule says , that M prisoner may see his friends once a month , and I do not think , it says or implies anything about his enly seeing one at a time . However Mr . Shepherd restricts it to one . I wish one to be allowed to come with my wife . I bare a great many relations , onehalf of whom I shall not have- the pleasere of seeing during the term of my confinement . I think Has ia a hardship that you might rel&x in some degree . The Coalman—Yon hid better proceed if you luuw any farther applications to make .
Ashum—The chaplain has refused me a certain description of books , and thi ? , together with the mat of writing , makes my situation like that of a aua buried alive , I cannot occupy the whole of my time m rewiing religious bock ; , and these are nearly the only kind ^ f books I am permitted to Bee . i kave one ether remark to mike as to seeing my friends . I aa compelled to see them through grates I wish to see them in a room ; I io not csre if there be twenty officers present . You may think these frivolous things , but they are serious to a man who ^ as two years to serTe . Ihe ChakmiB—Certainly ; bnt these things are a sor t " of restraint thai are intended &s a kind of punishment .
Asktoa—I wish to have permission to havo any kind of books , whether political or not , so long its iey are not immoral . The Bot . W . T . Alderson , the Chaplain—Tt * principal reason why Ashton applies for books is , jb * & ? ther prisoners , in other prisons , have tho "privilege . Atatot—Men of my class of efc&deW . if I roust call myself sn offender , are treated in other prisons SO differently from wh&t they are here , that it seems invidious . Here we are aU under the same regulations as the felons . The Chairman—1 Btiould address rnysstf to the «« rnrt in this w * y . This person has been guilty cf a misdeame&aosr , -wiai ih&t misde&me&nour was , we should not permit ourselves to thick , but how 4 oes the law intend misdemeanants to be treated ? Ashton—Admitting tbat 1 tare committed &n effeaee , which I deny rayself , I tkick there ought % o be eertam proportions of punishment awarded to certain crimes , and not all to be classed
tose-The Ccarnmn—We are to enforce tho law . Ashton—My sentence was to be confined ia tbe gaol at Wak . eS . eld for two years . You then make inleshere , ^ The Chairman—Bat yom do not put the thiDg &s H real ] v is , as I dare say you desire to do . Ashton—Yt-s . . The Chairman—The Judge passes these rules , and therefore he knows to vrh&t poiashme&t he is sentencing yon , Ashton—I do not know , gentlemen , whether I am sufficiently p ' sin for yoa to oadersisad me . The Cha » rms > a—( Langhltz )—1 should say you are almost too much so .
ABhtop—I make another ipp-licalion . The visiting magistrates givens free permission to provide cox own food . I haTe not done so because I do not wish to be ender an oblisation to my friends . Latterly , there ha « been an ilreratica in the diet , which has affected me considerably . I feel a deal worse since tbe alteration , not from any deficiency of the food , bat from the way it affects ay stomach . I wish you to grant ine peraission to receive some assist ance frcia my friends , without beirg compelled to reeeira alL The food gives me the heart burn every day , a ^ id I hiv e been yery bad in the head . The doctor has given me piasters fcr it . The Chainaan—What- is ihe particular food oi which tou complain ?
Ashum—I thhik there has been too mnch vegetable food . I have had preity good health since ] have been in , cad I wish ; o keep in good heakh if 1 can . These were tha whole of the applications ivhicr Ashton hsd to xnake , and the Maxis ^ raJes desi / cc thai he wculd withdraw while they considered them A lo ^ g desultory conversation then took place hi tween the Mi ^ istrace ? , Mr . Sbephcrd , Mr . Dunn the s ^ Tgean , and Mr . Aidcrson , the chaplsia to tiv prison . Uiiiniiteiy , .
