      Fatal Accrorars os in * South WisxEHH Rail ir ^ T . —On Friday morning , as the 6 . 40 a . m . goods train from Nine Elms was nesting ths Barnes station on the Richmond line , the engine-driver perceived what be atfirst conceived to be a stuffed figure tore * present a man leaning against ths wooden fencing of the line , and about 120 yards from the station , and painted it out to Waters , the guard , who ordered the immediate steppage ol the train . Upon going to tbe spat they wera horror struck at findin g a human being lying in a pool of blood , and not only dead bnt partly frozen . The blood was easily traced in a direct line to the np rail . The deceased was ascertained to bo Jehn Sharp , a hawker of cnckeryware , and living in the Hammer *

      smith Bridge Road . The body was removed to the nearest public-home to await an iagnesi . On Friday another accident attended with fatal consequences , took place on the South Western Railway , near the Richmond station . It appears . that a ballast engine had been improperly moved from a tiding to tbe main line just aa the 5 36 express train from London was approaching . The consequerice -was that acollision took place , and an unfortunate man , belonging to the ballast train , and who was riding on the engine , waa so jammed among the works that it was impossible to extricate him alive , fortunately , however , the whole of the passengers escaped without a broken limb , although several

      Buffered , necessarily , very severe contusions . Two of - £ ke directois , Mr Read and Mr Lacy , M . P ., were passengers by the express train . So far as can at present be ascertained , tbe moving of tbe ballast engine from the siding appears to have been an act of the most extraordinary recklessness and incaution on the put ofita driver , as the express train waa at the time two or thj ^ mintttei overdue , and its ar > rival must hive been momentarily expected . Both the driver and the fireman of the ballast engiee are - in custody awaiting an inquiry , and the company are resolved to investigate this unfortunate occurrenej in the fullest manner , in order to enable them to adopt tha most effectual means for the prevention of such accidents for tbe future .

      The Edinburgh Chartist Trials. On Saturd...

      THE EDINBURGH CHARTIST TRIALS . On Saturday last , the High Court of Justiciary met for the purpose of passing sentence on Robert Hamilton and Henry Rankin , wbo were found guilty on Tuesday last of ' sedition in so far as tbey used words ealcnlatedito promote popular disaffection , and resHtanoe to lawful authority . ' The Judges present were ihe Lord Justice Clerk , and Lords Mackenzie , Medwyn , and Wood . Mr Moscbikf , for ihe prisoners , asked if the jury in returning their Terdiot , had not declared , on the question being put to them , that they had purposely left out the word 'intended' in the verdict . The Loud Justice Clsbk replied in the affirmative . The Lord Advocate then moved the court for sentence against tbe prisoners .

      Mr Loam , for tha prisoners , opposed the motion in respect of the terms of the verdict , which he contended , did not amount to a verdict of guilty . The prisoners were charged in the indictment with doing certain things which were 'intended and calculated to excite popular disaffection , commotion and vio leaee , aad resistance to lawful authority . ' The charge of 'intention' wm therefore meant to override all the previous narrative in the indictment , bnt tbe jury bad merely found the prisoners guilty of sedition in so far as they used language ' calculated ' to excite disaffection , & s ., and they had purposely left tho word 'intended'ont of their verdict . He contended further that by tha law of Scotland' intention' waa tho essence of the crime of ' sedition , jand that the jury , by tin omission of tbat word , had found a verdict , not fer the Crown , but for the prisoners . Mr Moscbiot followed on the same side .

      Mr Cbawtohd , on tbe part of the Crown , contended that sedition was a crime well known to the law , and one requiring no explanation , and that it could never be understood to mean an innocent or unintentional ack The verdict was , therefore , good , aaa verdict against tbe prisoners . Supposing that tre word ' intended' bad sot been in the indictment at all , and that it simply charged them with doing what was calculated to excite disaffection , & c , still it would have been a perfectly good indictment , and a verdict of guilty founded npon it would have been received . The learned gentleman supported his views of the case by a variety of arguments and authorities . The Lord Advocate followed on the same side . To

      impeach successfully the verdict it was necessary for bis friends on the other aide to show that it was bis duty to have libelled 'intended , ' as something different from what was meant by ' calculated : ' and also that it was bia duty to have libelled specifically the intention . Ho had heard , however , no authority urged for this course . It would , indeed , be a strange thing , if , after the prisoners had been found guilty of sedition , any qualification with which the verdict was accompanied should have the absolute effect of nullifying it . Tke jury had used the word ' guilty ' —that was to say , that the prisoners had in their mind a seditions intent , and therefore he held that they had fraud all the criminal intent which it was necessary for them to infer .

      Altera few - words from Ms Mqscbxzs ? in reply , their lordships retired to consider their judgment , and returned into court in about three-quarters of an hour , when the Lord Justice Clsbk stated that they would give their decision en that day week . The Court then adjourned , and tye prisoners were i ; st back to prison .

      Thb Lara Fatm ; Colhsioh OH IHE Bichmosd tra Datchst Lub . — Thursday having been appointed for the re-examination of William Walking , the fireman of the "Vulture engine , who stood charged with driving that engine againstthe Hornet engine , and thereby causing the death of Richard Perry , ( full particulars of which will be found in our sixth page ) , the prisoner wag brought up before a full tench of the Richmond magistrates , ef which Mr Penryhn was chairman . Several witnesses were examined , and the bench agreed that the prisoner should stand committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court for the manslaughter of Richard Perry , but that he should be brought np again on Saturday next for the depositions to be completed . It was stated tbat the driver would not be able to undergo an examination for a fortnight or three weeks .

      ; Gkz * t Fibbih thb Khoslakd Roid . —An alarming fire breie ont on Thursday morning , in the Floor Cloth Manufactory of Mr Lawson , Watts Buildings , near the Canal Bridge , intheKingsland Road , and owing to the inflammable nature of the materials , the flames speedil y spread to a number of small tenements in Wilmer Gardens adjoining .

      The Cholera. On Friday, The New Cues Rep...

      THE CHOLERA . On Friday , the new cues repsrted to the Board of HeaHh were : —Lambeth 1 j Islington , 2 , fatal ; Camberwell , 1 , fatal . —Edinbargh , 9 , fatal i ; Leitb , 2 . fatal ; Glasgow , 1 , fatal ; Dumfries , l . fajal : toiftl fleweajw , l 7 ; fatsl , H . The new casea of eholera reported to the Board Of Health on Saturday were—Stepney , 1 ; Camberwell , 2 , fatal ; Peckham , 6 , 1 fatal ; Edinburgh , 12 , 7 fatal ; Leith , 3 . Total new cases , 2 i-10 deaths . Cholera has , it is said , entirely disappeared from the Penitentiary at Millbank . The official accounts from Woolwich are also of a much more favourable character , Indeed , the disease is not only limited in its extent , but ranch mitigated in severity . Agoeddeal of thu ia probably owing to the propitious state of the weather .

      On Monday only one case ef cholera in London was reported to the Board of Health . It occurred in Kensington , and was fatal . From the provinces reports were received of five cases at Blyth , of which two were fatal . In Scotland the disease is still active . The return is --Edinburgh , 21 , 12 fatal ; Leith , 1 ; Dyrart , 1 . Total new oases , 29—15 deaths . OnTueiday the following cases were reported to the Board of Health : Whiteohapel , 3 , 1 fatal ; Lambeth Workhouse , 1 fatal ; Kennington , 1 fatal ; Newington , 1 fatal ; Chelsea , 1 ; Bsrkingside , Essex , 1 ; Bljtb , 2 new cases . * 4 deaths ; Edinburgh , 11 , 2 fatal ; Leitb , 5 , 2 fatal ; Glasgow , i fatal . Total new oases , 30—16 death ? . Tuesday night's Gazette contains a third notification from the Board of Health stating that it has appeared to them' desirable that the

      special orders and regulations ( previously published ) ebonld hereafter tab * effect , without farther notification , in all places forthwith , npon the actual occurrence of cases of cholera , and by these orders andregalations they do so provide . In all cases , however , if these orders are acted upon , immediate notice of the fact must be sent to the General Board of Health , and tbe medical officers will be required to notify , from time to time , for the information of the board , any progress which the epidemic may make in their respective districts . ' —The total number of deaths in London during last week was 1 , 184 , the average being 1 , 154 . Scarlatina and typhus killed 189 persons during the seven days—cholera destroyed only 5 i This shows ones more that tho old tenants of the unwholesome parts of the metropolis are more destructive tban cholera .

      On Wednesday , only one case of cholera in London was reported to the Board of Health . That case occurred iu Bittersea fields , and was fatal . The disease , however , seems to have manifested itself with mach virulence in the parish of Chesbam , Buobb , where 20 case * and 8 deathsarereported . At Sunderland another fatal case has occurred . From Scotland the accounts specify in Edinbargh 9 sew oases , 5 deaths ; Leith , 2 cases , 1 death . Total new ca ° es , 33 ; 16 deaths . ~ On Thursday , the following were the only cases ot cholera reported to the Board of Health : —Haeknay Workhouse , 2 , fatal ; Great Grimsby , 2 , fatal ; Edinburgh , 7 , 3 fatal ; Leith , i , 2 fatal ; Total new cases , 15 , deaths 9 .

      West Riding Election. Besisxation 07 Hb....

      WEST RIDING ELECTION . BESISXATION 07 HB . P 1 TZWILLIAM . Lescs , Wednesday . —The extremely unfavourable reception Mr Fitzirilliam met with at his osnratsing debut in Leeds yesterday , has bad the effect of inducing the Hon . Candidate ' s resignation . This fact was this morning communicated to Mr Edward Baines by Mr Thomas- William Tottie , the legal agent at Leeds of the Fitzirilliam family , in a letter , of which the following is a copy : — Leeds , Nov . . 1818 .

      Dear Sir , —I hare this morning received s letter from Mr 8 eerg « TV . F ; tz » Mlam , authorising and reqnejting me to annonnce that after the hostility exhibited towards his brother Charles at Leeds , yesterday , he hat coma to the resolution that it is prudent for bin to withdraw from a position which is so likely to provoke a contest and that he will therefore discontinue his canvass . I hasten to communicate this intelligence to yoa with the view that you may make it known immediately , and as extensively aa possible- . Yenra falthfidly , ' Ein . Baines , Big . Thoi . Wk . Tomm .

      Seraetbing more tban a probability exists that Mr Beckett Denison , who retired at the general election ^ pon the nomination of Mr Cobden , will be brought forward by the Conservative party . The Liberal party held this morning a meeting of delegates from tbe various polling districts of the Riding , at Normanton , for the purpose of considering the steps to be taken in tha present position of affairs , and of deciding whether or not J . A . Roebuck , Esq ., the ex-member for Bath , should -be put in nomination . Mr Francis Carbutt , late Mayor oi Leeds , occupied the chair . The name of Mr Roebuck was received with ths utmost enthusiasm by nearly every delegate present . His , however , was not the only name mentioned ; but , as reporters were excluded , it was impossible to obtain the particulars in time for the express train . At the moment , however , at which the express left , it was reported that Sir Culling Eardley was the candidate fixed npon .

      Mr Edward Baines has written to the editor of the Sun , stating that Sir C . Eardley , Bart ., has accepted the invitation of becoming a candidate for tha representation of the West Riding ,

      Seal Fight.—As Three Lads From Cambeltow...

      Seal Fight . —As three lads from Cambeltown , in pursuit of sea-fowl , and one of them armed with an old musket , were sauntering along the north shore of Ardersier some days ago , they descried , at the edge Of the receding tide , a large dark objectstrongl y relieved by the brightness of the yellow sand—and surrounded at a littte distance by a flock of sea-mews . Their first impression was that they bad found a prize of a stranded bentenose ; but a nearer survey altered their opinion , and the elder-, sportsman , determined to be prepared for all con-, fingencies , drew from his blunderbuss the small shot with which it was loaded ,, and having increased the charge of powder . substituted a musket baU

      and some slugs . Thus arraed he-p £ oceeded stealthily along tbe beaclv until nearing bis game he disco--vereditto be rthuge seel , whicn , soothed by the comfortable temperature- of tbe sunny beacb ,. and luxuriating m the grateful digestion of its-late breakfast , -Aid , withal , anticipating future susoessful interceptitjBof salmon on their way to CflWWnty Point , far ii fallen fart asleep . Tacts are stranger tban fiction , aad in tbe scene which followed- Captain Miacintyre ' s encounter with the Bhoca , so humor jusly described in tbe ¦ Antiquary , " is thrown into t , he shade . Tbe musketeer , Simon , having dispa' iChed a companion by a circuitous route to a

      mus' iel scalp , with instructions to cut ofSthe retreat of t ie seal from bis native element , should the pendir , g assault prove scatheless , he , in concert with ft . •{ third , formed his plans and cautiously advanced :. * he second having attained his position—the maiksmau , excited by tbe prospect before-aim , proceeded with less caution , until observed by , the gulls . These snowy sentinels took to flight , and in their \ mazy whirls screamed go loud that the seal awoke - from his luckless slumber , and edged away . Click went the ponderous dogbead off went the overcharged musket , and backwards fell the sportsman into a thicket of 'whins . The third , seeing from ' the convulsive motions of tbe animal that be was

      wounded , rushed at him and seized him by one of , the bind paws . Onward bounded the seal , dragging tbe prostrate wight as a dog does an old kettle , pattering and scattering showers of sand behind him . i The second , who started from his ambuscade on ' hearing tbe report of tbe musket , now confronted ' the phoca , armed with a cudgel hurriedly manufac' tured from a whin stalk , with which he harmlessly 1 belaboured tbe animal until tbe stick was wrested J from him , he being upset in the struggle . The i shooter , now somewhat recovered from the soni cussion and pain of bis overthrow , came tardily to

      i the rescue , and with all the emphasis of which he ! was master , inflicted on tbe head of the poor seal several blows with the butt end of the musket . [ Still the goaded animal , actuated by a powerful ? instinct , and possessing wonderful tenacity of life , progressed towards the sea , dragging his adhering enemy after hi < n . How long the warfare might 1 have lasted , or what the result would have been , is " uncertain , bad not the shooter changed his mode J of assault , and used a clasp-knife , with which he enlarged the gun-shot wound . The bleeding anil mal bellowed and struggled , but at last gave in , t The conflict lasted fifteen minutes , and one of the

      party was dragged through the sands sixty or a seventy yards , perseveringly keeping hold ofi the - jseal till the last . The lads were so harled and ' ¦ " bespattered that an ardent geologist might have jj mistaken them , for encrusted •• antrqpoliies or spe-, cimens of new red sandstones . The seal measured i . seven feet four inches in leng ' . b , five feet ten inches > i in circumference , and yielded fourteen , gallons of oU .

On arriving at the door , I found it secured by a strong chain . I knocked « e « vera ! times for ^ admission , and not receiving any answer , 1 directed tho constables to break the door open , which , after some difficulty , was done . I then went into a room oa the ground floor , where I saw thedefendanteHart , Mathews , Sejfort , and Holland . I directed the constables to secure them . I then forced an entrance through a thin partition leading

      to the stairs . On arriving at the top of the stair ease I found all further ingress secured by a trap door which was strongly fastened .

I then went into a room and found the other defendant ? sitting round a table covered with green baise .

      Patjfbbbm in PAisxsY . —The borough parochial board of this town hasjuat completed tha asaessaaant for the- support of the poo ? for the current year . The rate required to raise th « necessary sum of £ f 300 is 6 i por oent . on heritage and means and substance , being the third modo , provided by the act About two-thirds of the schedules , have already been returned by the ratepayers . . From the atove figures it would appear that the whole of the assessable income in the burgh wili not amount to mote than £ 120 , 000 . The population at last census , exclusive of the Abbey parish , amounted to 32 220 individuals , so that the rateable income of the whole community does not amount to saorn than an average of £ 315 i . on each individual of the population . La « t week the plans for an addition to the Town ' o Hospital , were approved

      of by the board of supervision , and estimates for the completion ofthe tuilding will be taken inimmedi'itely . It is the intention of this bsard to give relief in prepared food to suoh of their out-door poor as are suspected of misappropriating their allowances , and also to supply the inmates of the hospital with work . The abbey parish is , at the same time , assessed to - very heavy amount i and they are alsa at present ena gaged in theowotioa . of a now hospital , to thosouth of the town , f . o * taertoeptum of paupers . The weight of local taxation has had the effect of lowering very con . siderayy the ; value ef property in this neighbourhood : and the inhabitants look for relief to on extended boundary , or national assessment , for the eupp rt ol the poor . There is more than one parish in the neighbourhood , and within a few miles of Paisley , which are unassessed for tho gunport of the poor .
