    _•" - ssbi B _ . wo--. th , Star of Mope Lodge , Manchester , communicates the hifonnation that , "two more lodges _^^ jamely , the Farmers * Glory , nnd the Dnke of _Manf - _Qester—have joined those that demand the principle of fuU _represmtat ' um in the Odd Fellows A . M . C . ; making _eig hty oat of the eighty-foar which constituted tlte _jlancbester District . *** He also says , "Ton should have sent mere Stars last Saturday ; for as soon as it became known that you bad espoused onr cause , there —as a great demand , anil hundreds were disappointed ; _tarly on Saturday evening there -ivas not one to be _iKii" _Wes——tbeglaa to hear from 3 Ir . _Dalniforfli , as he intimates -. and also from anyone wha can communicate f acts in relation to tiie present dispute The important and powerful Institution of Odd Fellows ought to be placed on a basis that would secure it

    from the effects of shocks such as at present shake it to p ieces . Soman , or set of men , in that Institution , oug ht to be placed in a position where tlwir own _tcill is paramount to tlic opinions aud determinations of the body at large ; and ifit be true that the " _mana-^ 36 ° of the Order have so contrived it as to render theconsti'mion of the order _snbservient to their own indiridaal varooses , it is time tliat the members generally tool : the matter in hand , and applied thecorrectire wliere it is needed . Their _constitution once provided for direct lodge representation * , wnv lias that principle been departed frem t Has not that departure served to raise np an oligarchy , who not only imitate the _oligarchical rulers of the nation in their arbitrary and ttiannie— : mode of dealing irith their refractory " subjrcts , " but also imitate ft far worse feature of the

    government of our plundering " masters , —by _Smiljag among themselves the masses of wealth that "power" manages to absorb out of the hands of the producers . Is it not a burning shame , not only to the ' Governor- of the order" for having placed themselves in sneh a position , but also to the members at large / or having permitted it , that eight individuals , HATKLV CHiBGED WITH TBE ErEeOTtV _ asd _Govsesisc _toweb , late pocketed among thcmiclm in a short space of time no less a sum than £ 36 , 000 for " goods supplied" Is not this scandalous " Hoes it look entirely free from jobbing ! Is not the principle a monstrous one , that permits the manager ofa pnblic body to be once tihe ordtrer , the _boti-me _** , and the 3 _"C 1 > GB of * ' goods , "" _nsweutxsJVnGEoftUrcasoxxaUaiessof price ? If Sir "Robert Peel was a _iiaper-inaker , would it be borne that

    he sliould take a contract to supply the Government offices with stationary ! "Why , Sir Key , a member of Parliament only , was glad to escape with the vacation ofhis seat , when it was discovered that a contractmade "by his brother really belonged to him ; and that his son , a minor , had , through the father's influence , been _tnrustmtoa „ _tualioniv ' -ic _ _xaadeIiii-ii _* _' _^ -ofl _ egoods supplied under the surreptitious contract : he was glad , we say , to give up his seat , and escape the fine of £ 500 for every day that he sat in Par— -ment while a contractor under Government . And what reason is there that the " governors" of such an Institution as the Odd Fellows should be exempt from the operation of such a salutary rule against jobbery , bribery , and corruption t The rule applies to all pnblic bodies tinder the laws . If a member of a Common

    Cflunak or of a Board of High-ray Surveyors , or of a U „ i & of Guardians even , supply , or contract to sapply , any " goods , " or " materials , " he is liable to heavy f „ es , which any * body can enforce . Why should the » G . J _ " or the " Board of "Directors" of the Odd-Fel lows be allowed to do what these parties , elected by ( heir _Vnx & er rate-payers , asd f _osced to _sebvj- theu beskctive omcES _wiT-ocx _a- _ _tusE 9 __* nos , are not aHowedto do ! the more especially as the Stances for ¦ _Vw ( i- _*) in the Odd fellows' society are a thousand times greater than any of the cases ive hare named % The accounts of the Public Boards wa hare enumerated come before tiie _j-uUit _* . Any one of the public can object to them , and , on appeal , set aside Vie rate , if it appear fiat the _BKiaey entrusted to any of these public

    officers has becu wrongfully or corruptl- * applied . In _ e _« ase of Boards of _Gnar-Jjans . there are public auditors appointed , who have the power of dwaBoiciri any item , of the justice and propriety of which they see room to doubt , charging it to the Guardians themselves . _Theinhabi—ntsiu vestry , and the justices of the peace , _* ba-tea similar power over theacoountsof lUshway -urreyors ; and att of these accounts , whetlwr relating to thellig _h-ivajs _, to the _Itelief of the Voor , or to Corporations , canbe taken into the Superior Courts , aud set _aAJe , _Umroas or _joWfertf can be proved ? Tliiseannot be done with the accounts ofthe Odd Fellows I There are no such checks on reckless expenditure or _d-jt-rnright jobbery . The only check that could exist , under present arrangements , would be , that the " governors" of the order were free from all interest in thc

    supply of goods—free to see that the goods were ofthe ren _ red _qualify * and at a proper price—free to judge for ihe order—ami not for themselves . But even this Slender "IB- " mafepiatc cheek vanishes the znoraeut yon make the " governors '' into contractors . Every seccutv _againstitA & in . ' * is gone . There is at once an interest in over-reaching , in cheating , the order ; and there is no check to _prevent it . AVhen eight individuals , under such circumstances , divide among themselves £ _*> j , 000 iu a short space of time , they may well" suspend" not only individuals , and lodges , but even whole districts , that _aivafcen tol *_ conviction that " governors' * ' supplying their oivn goods is not a healthful principle—if by such " suspension" they can coerce _themalcont-mts into passive obedience . There needs nothiug more than tbe bare enunciation of the fact ,

    that eight " governors" of the order have sacked _ - } G , 0 OO fur goods tchicli they hate themselves _supped , to tell that the constitution and management ofthe order ef Odd Fellows is far from what it should be . It behoves , therefore , the members of the order to attend to liar business . These monstrous abuses cry aloud for mo-A _ —for rectification . To accomplish this , the _xKutUrs must late _TOAVEIt to alter , telterc alteration is ¦ undid . They must have _l'OAYElt to so arrange matters tbat their friends will not be exposed to the peculator , or the jobber . They must have TO AVER to impose the -accessary guards and checks . Tliey must i _ ve 1 * 0 WEU to-so order it that the patronage of the _eriler shall not be used as a means of bribery—as a means of attaching parties to a set of oligarchs , giving them an interest in defending the worst jobbery , the

    grossest abuse , and the most uuendurable tyrauny The members at large must havel'OWElt to do all this , t * r their order will stink in tie nostrils of sll _jusi _<_—ivfll " -s-ither _, and fade , and die . " To possess iii-1 * 0 WEU , at once necessary and just , tliey raust lave direct representation ; they must choose men not hitherto subjected to tho corrupting inliuenccs ; they •¦ inst send parties who will not be hood-winked with £ j _* eciyus generalities , but who will firmly grasp the true jiiuciples of public business , aud as _-Smily apply them , regardless of -whom it may grieve or whom it may ¦ ¦ l ease . The members of the order must do all thls - aail when they have doue it , they will never again hear of tight of their " governors" having pocketed -. . _ic-i _^ st them £ _S-i , QGl for goods "upi'lieu by tkeiu-¦ _Vivj-s _" ?

    As Olo OnD _Feilow promise- a _cosamunication for next week , which , if we are to judge from his syllabus , will be rather curious . He purposes to {{ ive a " history of _Katcliffc ' s piece of plato ; anecdotes of tha whole ten subscribers ; a peep into the Olympic Tavern , during the _sAtting of Ihe Board of Directors ; reasons why they meet tliere , and not at the Board room ; descr iption ofa tradesmen' - dinner at Old Gray's . *' G . Stooge , " _Vii-stmiv-steb . —If the body he represents had only bad to bear a tithe ofthe " denunciation " that we have had to endure for publishing far less "denunciatory '' resolutions tlian those we withheld , _«* - would not have been quite so _haety or so inconsiderate as Mr . Sturge ' s communication would seem to indicate . AVe know tbat one of the parties implicated is " as honest as the day is light , " and intends to do everything that a just man in his circumstances ought to do * , we know , too , tbat he is struggling , manfully stru 2 » liug , with difficulties brought oil by his efforts to

    serve the Chartist cause ; and we are not going to " _wr doira on such a' man , and help to crush him to the earth , to please any set of men wbattver . We have also reason to _belisve that the other party named in the said resolutions is incorrectly described . To save all turmoil and public quarrel w « suggested that the resolutions should be eommunicatcd by letter to tho parties interested , that they might have an opportunity of attending to the call made on them , or arrange privately about the matters in question . De . "Locock " - Pulmonic W & f _* 3 . s . —The advertisement for this " cure for asthma , consumption , coughs , and colds , " came too late for insertion this week . It shall appear in our next . "Meantime we may state that the rnlmonic AVafers can be had of Da Silva and Co ., 1 , Bride-lane , Fleet-street , London , axd of all medicine venders . _Anns-trx Misebs . —AVe are compelled to withhold their address till next week .

    Shocking Hailway Accidents. Colijfclo.V ...

    SHOCKING _HAILWAY ACCIDENTS . CoLIJfclO . V O . V THE Lo . VDO . V ASB lilRMlXGHAM _ILutw _ r . —On Tuesday morning last ( July 29 th ) , a frightful collision , attended witli the most serious consequences , took place on tlic line of tl \ e London and "Birmingham Railway , near Chalk-farm , and wifliin a short distance ofthe Camden-town station . During the day most painful rumours were anoat as to tfie loss of _lifo which had taken place by the occurrence , and that which gained the greatest prevalence was one that no less than sixteen persons had been lulled . On rnmute investigation , however , thc following , obtained from official and other sources , has been ascertained to he the true narrative ofthe affair : —The mail _tniirj-which leaves Birmingliani ( _havin-- nreviousr" arrivcil from Liverpool ) at 55

    minutes after twelve o ' clock , it appears is due at the London terminus at 32 minutes after five o ' clock . About a quarter past fire o ' clock the train arrived at the Chalk-farm end of the tuunel , and proceeded at full speed onward towards _tkeploAformattheCamden station . The train , which consisted of from 10 to IC carriages , including the trucks and _nostofSee vans , continued its progress until arriving oh the London side of the Chalk-fann-bridgc , where the down _lusgage train , which was some few minntes behind its time , was at the time crossing from the branch curve lines or " siding" leading to thc luggage storehouses on to the main down Tine . The fog or de « v was so thick that it is described as utterly impossible for any one to see beyond 20 or SO feet before _t-Jieffl _, and t \\ c result was , that before any measures could

    be taker-to stop the speed of the mail tram , then _ oing ata rate of upwards of 30 miles an hour , it ran fnto tlte _Iiv-jgats train , dashing three of the luggage vans and three of thc carriages ia tlw mail train Htcrallv to atoms . Thomniltrain contained , atthe time ofthe collision , from CO to 70 _passengers , and it is considered almost a miracle , that at least 20 or SO persons wcre uot killed , under the circumstances , on the spot . As soon as tlic confusion occasioned by the shock had iu some measure subsided , means were taken by the officers ofthe company and those who had effected their escape from stimcoftiicbiniler _ iost carriages to render assistance to those who had had the misfortune to bo in carriages ncavei' tha engine ami tender . The screams cf the women and the general scene which presented itself at this moment

    was appalling ia the extreme . Many were taken ont from amongst the fragments of thc carnages in a fainting state , whilst others wcresecn witli the blood strcauiins * down their faces , occasioned by the injuries ii . iikte . fon them by live broken g lass . Surgeons were sent form every direction , ami the attendance was most prompt . " The second carriage from thc engine was a first class _aivriagc , and jammed between tiie scats was discovered an elderly gentleman , who was _siibscqticntlv ascertained to le Mr . Dean , an r . _ucnt to lhc Earl of Devon , who was on his way to _l-basion upon some urgent busbies ? . After _consiiJcrable _dillieulty , the removal cf the unfortunate _1-eiiticman from the carriage was effected , and it was then ascertained that liis left leg was completely crushed , and the bones protruding through his

    tvftt \ -cvs . At his own rcqncit Mr . Dean was at once _l-kee-I oa a litter , aud conveyed io University College Ho-pital . The other sufferers liaving been attended ta were removed in cabs to tlieir various destinations . lour were ascertained to have been seriously injured , Gist although many wore very much bruised and cut with the glass , their injuries wcre by no means of an . . ! ari ! ii : i * rc ! iar . _teter . It-appears that , although itwas no _tow-va that _theiiowa _iusgaije irain was a little behind m iiuic i . 'i starling ; find that the mail train was near !' . - due , thc red signal was not _taist-d at the _Chalk-farm-bridge , fir ihe policeman statianed at the taimel would have stopped tlte r . n train on its arrival at tliat point . The _engiaeattaeSied to the mail train , Xo . iti , was a perfectly new one , o ; 'ir .. _nieiise power , •>* i . _-. It ihe collision was ahnast Lwken to _luecci .

    The _gs- _st _iiitiiiiaticii of _CiaV . _iicv dveu to UlSWOl'lh , the _tiriviT , wh ha * _boeii _scvciat years on the line , awl is considered a most _csserieaccd man , wns from his sokir , who _immetiiatc-jy oa passing the Chaikfarai-Orid' -ee-cdaimed , " Fer _C-cd ' s s . ik-0 , Jem , shut the steam off , or wc shall be intoiho _Ia-iffigc mun .

    proxiroate cause ot the accident apueaw to have been a too early arrival of the mail train and the late departure of the goods train , joined to the impossibility of seeing the usual signals _distinctly in eoiiseQuencc of a _Jog . -Tke concussion took place at about 100 yards Irom the bridge , and itis astonishing to observe that thc particular carriage which the engine first struck was scarcely _damajed , yet thc rest of the carnages on the train were _litcrallv smashed to pieces , and their contents distributed oil the line , ihe confu sion was very great ; every one struggling to get out , and iu many cases some few minutes elapsed before one person could leave a carriage , three or four having got jammed in the doorway , and those so situate not being willing to give way by going back .

    respecting the accident has been sent by the railwav authorities to thc Board of Trade : —Thc Lancashire mail train , whicli is timed to arrive at thcEuston station at 32 minutes past five a . m ., entered the Camden station at five a . u ,, as tke first goods train from London was crossing to the down line to proceed on its journey . Thc consequence was a collision whicli forecd the engine tender and parcel van in front of the mail train off the rails , injured some of the waggons and carriages , and caused the fracture of a le ff of onc ofthe passengers in a second-class carriage , and several severe cuts on the face and head . of another passenger , by the breaking of tllC glass oi'tllC coupe of a first-class carriage in which he was riding with his face to the engine . It does not appear that any more passengers were injured . In renortiug these

    occurrences tor the information of the Lords ot the Privy _Coincil for Trade , I would invite attention to the following facts : —! . That tho mail train arrived at tbe Camden town stati _* n 15 minutes before its time . —2 . That the goods train , on the other hand , was 50 minutes later than its regular time of departure , owing to tbe unusual number of trucks which were to be conveyed .- '" "" . That , although the policeman at Chalk-farm-bridge had turned on the red signal when the goods train began to move , there was so much fog that the driver of a train coming out of the tunnel could not well have seen the signal , and consequently that ia not going forward to communicate with the policeman at the south end of the tunnel , according to the orders provided for this especial case , the policeman at the bridge failed in

    the performance of lnsduty .--R . Creed . AxorHEB _ACCIDKNI O . V THE LOSDOS ASD _Blnmixgium RAiiw . tr . —Another accident of a very serious character took place on the line of the London aud Birmingham Hallway on Tuesday . It appearthat the ten o ' clock up _* train from Birmingham , and which is due at , " three ( o ' clock at thc Euston-grove terminus , proceeded at its usual speed up to the time of its arrival at Leyton . After passing the Ley tonstation , and between that place and Cheddington the engine got out of " gear , " or , in some measure , otherwise slightly deranged . The engine-driver , Newton , perceiving this was the case , slackened the speed and descended for the _purpose otjremcclyitlg tliO defect ; and tho engine ¦ >••_ again put in motion tuai he might see if he had done so - effectually . On attempting to ascend tbe engine whilst in progress , thc

    unfortunate drivers foot supped oil one of the steps , and his right leg being caught by one of the wheels , caused him ta fall , and the tender and carriage * passed over the ankle and lower part of the calf , crushing it in a shocking manner . The train was stopped , and the poor fellow having been placed in one ofthe carriages , was brought with all possible speed to the London terminus , where he was seen by Mr . Porter , the surgeon to the company , and at once accompanied by that gentleman to University College Hospital . At five o ' clock Mr . Liston was scut for , and a consultation of medical gentlemen took place , at which it was resolved , inconsequence ofthe dreadfully crushed condition of the limb , that amputation was necessary ; and tbe operation was at ence performed . Last evening the report was , that Newton was progressing favourably .

    Accidext os the Soum- _ AsrBB . v _Rahwat . — On Monday evening an accident occurred to the Dover up train on this line ; the following are the particulars ;—The train left Dover at half-past six , and reached the Tunbridge station about eight . Ilei'O the rearmost carriage had to be detached , and the man who performed thc operation neglected to place the red lights which wcre at the back ofthe detached carriage upon the last carriage of the train whieh proceeded onwards for Loudon . Thc error was , however , speedily discovered , and a spare engine which was standing at Tunbridge was dispatched to the next station with the necessary lights , the driver of which was made fully acajiaintedwitii all the circumstances of the case ; but it is considered he acted very incautiously , aud to liim . is to be attributed the

    accident _, lie states that thc evening was dark and misty , and that be was not able to see anything upon the _ ne ; and no signal having been made as he neared Penshurst , he continued his course at a rapid rate , in the hope of overtaking thc train . Upon arriving at the Penshurst 6 tation , without being able to % i \ e tbe slightest previous notice , he ran the engine into the _amUttluOSt part of thc train , tbe buffers taking the floor ofthe last carnage , which was raised upwards , and penetrating the bottom of the second and third in thc tier . The result was that the whole of the passengers of a full train were tin-own forward with great violence . The crash was dreadful , and their screams were terrific . Fortunately there wcre

    iathe train the resident engineer of the hue , Mr . P . W . Barlow , and Mr . Stephenson , tbe engineer , as well as three medical men . An indescribable scene of confusion ensued ; not less than twenty persons were bleeding from a variety of contusions , arid several who wcre considered to have been the most severely injured were taken into the station , and information ofthe occurrence was conveyed to Mr . Creasy , surgeon , of Edinbridge , Mr . Gregory , of Leigh , near Tunbridge , and Mr . Picking , of Penshurst , the latter of whom , with his assistant , promptly attended . Upon examining the wounded it was found thatonc gentleman had bis jaw broken and his teeth driven in ; another had his leg fractured , and another his ine Indeed

    sp materially injured . , there wcre six who were severely hurt , but no lives werc lost . A young lady , with ail infant child upon hei * knee , was considered some time in danger Irom syncope , occasioned by the injuries her father had received , but she ultimately recovered . All the parties were conveyed to London the same night ; Mr . Cubitt conducting thc trilling cases to town , and Mr . Barlow , with a special train , taking charge of the more seriously injured passengers : There is no apprehension of a fatal result in any case . The engine-driver , whose name is Walker , and whose careless conduct appears to have been the cause of the accident , has been given into custody , and was examined before thc magistrates at Tunbridge , on Tuesday evening . A writer in the Times of

    Wednesday has the following , m relation to this collision : — I remained at thc Penshurst station about an hour - . md a half , and gave my professional assistance to those who most required it ; but the many who were suffering from wounds and contusions wero obliged io wait for assistance from Tunbridge andHcigatc , there being no surgical applications obtainable at Penshurst . Though one gentleman-had a broken leg , and another a severe injury oi' thc back , and thirty or forty wcre much cut and bruised , I trust there will be no loss of life . We werc stationary , or nearly so when thc engine struck us , and experienced two ' distinct shocks , the second by far thc most severe . There were four carnages behind that in wiiich I was seated , all of- which wcre injured , the kind one , which received the blow , was smashed to pieces , it being au open second class carriage . Sonic ofthe _passengers were thrown out ofthe windows , to

    which they may in part , attribute their preservation , and the guards were thrown several yards . Two or three ladies , sitting in the _coitj-e of a first-class carriage next to mine , had their heads driven through the plate glass windows in front , and were much cut about thc face . Tho first efteefc of the shoek was an awful pause of a minute as if thc passengers wore bewildered ; aud then the null from thc carriages ol the frightened , thc fainting , the bruised , and tho bleeding , crying wildly for help , witliout any appearance of sympathy or assistance in the confusion which at _ih-sb ensued , _tonnc-i sueh a frightful picture as 1 hope never to icok upon again . Although in this case tliere will bo , I trust , no loss of life , as a medical man I must state that the consequences ot _iVl- _* iit upon nervous and delicate women , and concnssioii of the brain , wliich ail must more or _lets iiave felt , often leave behind them cilccts which -arc lung continuedsevereand even fatal .

Wc were all more or less frightened ; but , of course , people who « o by the third-class have nerves of a third-class qualitv , and so course that they cannot be affected by such occurrences as this . However , be that as it may , tho ' ponny-auiilers' seem to deserve no consideration IVom the legalised monopolist s , Wc went on for a minute and then stopped . I looked out and perceived that our carnage was left behind , and all the rest ofthe train was vapidly _procooding . I alighted with several others , and the driver coolly informed us that the connecting chain ( 1 forget the technical term he used ) which attached our vehicle to the next had broken

    aud we had been bumped up against the train . 1 am astonished our carriage was not overset ; and , when wc arrived at Brentwood , tho station-master , after be bad beard the particulars , conld scarcely believe that it had not been overturned . Most of the poor innocent uninitiated passengers thought tbe engine bad got foul of us by mistake ; but no such thing was the cose for it was sent from London to help us along , that wc might not be overtaken by tbe fast tram ; a dreadful name , particularly to people situated as we were . We were pwsuaded to remount the carriage ( all but two , who oreferred walking on to Brentwood ) , and the engine pushed us on to Brentwood , where we found thc rest of the train Thc shock extended along the whole train , and there were plenty of bn- iscs and several bats lost in thc

    other carnages . But ours had the worst of thc collision . Row , if the auxiliary engine had been "slackening , " as the driver stated , and not going faster than our train , and I tbink that it ought not to have been doing so , how was it ( supposing the chain _gtivo . way when the auxiliary was within 100 yards of us , a singular , avery singular coincidence , and was not broken or unfastened b y thc tremendous concussion , as many thought)—I ask how was it our carriage , the last , mind you , was violently driven against and shook all the rest of the train 1 When we had got a short distance from Brentwood thc auxiliary left , having afforded in the helping-on way no more aid to the whole train than a push , during that short space .

    Fatal Accidext ok the _GnuAT _Wusiebs Railway . —On Monday night the night guard atthe Hanwell station , wliile sitting on the platform , and close to the ladder whence passengers ascend and descend from the carriages , was struck by the iron steps of ono of the carriages attached to the ten o ' clock train and knocked down on the line , the train passing over bin . The body is represented as being a most frightful spectacle , and was ncarlv cut in two . It would seem from another report tbat tbe fatal accident occurred by a sudden oscillation or swerving of tbe train as it neared the station .

George lledfern , a porter , was assisting to " shunt" a truck , when . tbe catch on the turntable by some means did not act , and thc consequence was , the truck swung round much further than it ought to have done , and crushed the poor fellow to death . Much excitement and alarm were also occasioned at the station by th « non-arrival of thc mail train , due in Derby at

    twenty minutes to seven , but wluch did not make its appearance there till after eight o ' clock . It appeared that two mineral trains had come iuto collision at the Clay-cross tunnel , and occasioned each other much damage . A long time elapsed before tlicy could lie removed , and were it not for the very effective signalling along this " line very serious consequences might have resulted . A stoker , who jumped oil when hc saw that a collision was unavoidable , had one of his legs broken iu two places ; but be is now doing well .

    The late Party Riot at Liverpool . ~ At the Liverpool Borough Sessions on Saturday last Walter Greenwood , 21 , Patrick Kinalian , 25 , Lawrence O'Mallcy , 20 , Charles Managhan , 20 , Peter Ready , 27 , Wm .

There were nine counts in the indictment . The first charged that they struck Superintendent M'Donald ; the second , that they disturbed the peace and assaulted Inspector Bibby ; thc third , that they riotously assembled to

    disturb thc peace and assaulted Wm . Smith , a policeofficer , the . fourth , tbat tbey were armed with sticks and staves and making a great riot ; thc fifth , that they unlawfully assembled together for four hours and more ; the sixth , that they were arrayed in a warlike manner and made an affray ; thc seventh , eighth , and ninth counts charged the assaults with having been committed on the parties aforesaid . Mr . Blair conducted the case for tbe prosecution , Mr . James , with whom waa Mr . Mew , defended tbe whole of the prisoners . The evidence of the prosecution occupied a considerable portion of the day . Mr . James , in bis address to the jury , admitted that the _coiiductoWu _. constabulary was above all praise , and that tilt *** - " * _Msilfiot ; but he thought the evidence of _identifiiipon "had , in some respects , failed ; Witnesses were .

    tbe p ' _ris-5 s 6 ' rB guilty oi a riot . 1 he Recorder , in passing sentence , said that he was called upon , not in any vindictive spirit , buffer the sake of example , to endeavour to prevent the recurrence of scenes like those which bad occurred , and which might hereafter , unless an example wcre madc , be wovso than any which had hitherto taken place . lie was compelled to pass a sentence somewhat severe upon all of them ; and he did so with the view , if possible , of putting a stop to those collisions between conflicting parties and conflicting crowds , which , from time to time endangered the peace of thc town . He then sentenced eavh of tins prisoners , witli _t-Iic exception of Connor , to bo imprisoned and kept to hard labour for four calendar m * : itlis . Connor , who , it was proved , had thrown stones , and struck Inspector Bibby in the mouth and knocked out ono of his teeth , was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for six calendar months .

While stopping to' pay the toll at thc penny-toll bridge , which stands at an immense height over the river Lime , tbe horse suddenly became restive and ungovernable , and , to tho horror ef the party , backed the siiandry to the brink of an awful precipice . There was time for nothing bnt a sensation of an inconceivable horror before the horse , vehicle , and passengers were tumbled over tbe height to the depth of

    twenty-seven feet , lis falling tho ska ml it came in contact ivith a projection ofearVb which jutted eut at lhc depth of six feet , when thc whole of the partywere thrown out ofthe vehicle by the shock to tbe bottom , and the horse appeared to be flying in the air .

    Steam-boat Explosion of ? Ulackwall . —On Tuesday morning , between ten and eleven o ' clock , an explosion of steam ofa very fearful c & aracter occurred on board tho Isle of Thaiiet steam-boat , off Blackwall . It , appears that the vessel left Nieholson ' swharf with a good shave of passengers , for Deal , Dover , Sec , and on arriving ; oil' the _! ac _ rfa „ pier , those , on board were greatly alarmed by a sudden rush of steam from tbe engine-room and pipe , and a considerable fall of soot from tbe funnel produced by the shock . Thc next moment the poor fellows engaged about the machinery were to be seen scrambling up from the engine-room , and the excitement that ensued amongst the passengers may be well conceived . The captain very promptly brought thc steamer alomrside

    the Koyal IVcst India mail packet tbe Dee , and thc affair being noticed from the pier , several boats put oil' to tbe assistance of the affrighted passenger- * . Two men wcre much hurt by the action of tho steam . Ono of them , a coal-trimmer , was immediately removed in a _bsat to the Dreadnoug ht hospital ship oil ' Greenwich . As soon as the excitement liad somewhat subsided , she was taken back to Deptford to have ber damage made good . Murder , at _Easixowou ) . —On Monday last , the second adjourned inquest , on view of the body of Joseph Windsor , was held at the house of Mr . _Eavushstw , in - asingwold , before John Wood , Esq ., coroner of this city . Tlio investigation into the cause of the deceased ' s death was commenced on the 18 th July , and continued by adjournment on Mondavthc

    2 M , and again on tbe 28 th July . From the evidence adduced on these occasions it was elicited that the deceased was seven years of age , and on the morning of Thursday , the 17 th , hc appeared in ills usual state of health , lie was sent with his father ' s breakfast , and on returning home bis stepmother , Jane "Windsor , prepared his breakfast , and also placed before him some treacle and brimstome , alleging , as her reason for so doing , that the lad bad some eruptions on his body , and the mixture would do him good . Deceased refused to comply with the stepmother ' s request , upon which she obtained the assistance of bis schoolmistress , and the two succeeded ill forcing the treacle and brimstone into bis mouth . The youth was shortly afterwards seized with excessive sickness ,

    and was occasionally purged , which caused cousidev able alarm amongst thc . ncighbours , who werc induced to obtain the aid of Mr . Wiley , apothecary , the medical gentleman to whom application was first made ; being from home . Proper ' remedies were applied , " but tbey proved unavailing , and thc poor boy expired a little after twelve o ' clock . A post mortem examination of the body was afterwards made by Mr . Scaifc , a surgeon , who found the stomach anil intestines in a highly inflamed state ; he also detected _n . white powder in great quantity , whicli left no doubt upon his mind that death had been produced by poison . The contents of the stomaeh were subjected to a chemical analysis , the result ol ' which eonfirmed tbe opinion previously expressed by Mr . Seaife .

    —the jury ultimately found a verdict of "Wilful Murder against Jane Windsor , the deceased ' s stepmother , " and a warrant was made out for her oommittal te York Castle , for trial at the next assizes , to which prison she was removed on Tuesday . TfllA " . Off THE Cn * KJB OP _MimDEK . _—DcnilATM , _TuEsnAT , Jolt 2 ~ . —Tlie trial of Louis Henry Goule , for the murder of his wife , was _appointed for this morning . Itappeared from the evidence that the prisoner was the superintendent of tbe county police , and in thc performance ofhis duty some months ago , received a severe wound on the head with an iron weapon , which had added much to his natural irascibility of temper . lie had lived unhappily with his wife for some time , owing to bis suspecting that she had connected herself with other men . One person

    waa particularly pointed out in tbe cvidencc—a Mr . Scruton , as one of whom the husband was most jealous * , and it would appear by tbe manifestations of the """ populous , . that publie opinion condemns this pcreon as really criminal . The prisoner occasioned tke death of his wife by shooting ber with a pistol , the ball of which lodged in her arm , and produced lock-jaw , of wiiich sho died . Mv . Wilkins ably and eloquently defended the prisoner , and tlic jury , after an absence of thirty-five minutes , announced that they acquitted the prisoner of thc crime of murder , but found that be was of unsound mind at the time of committing thc act of which he had been arraigned . The Judge then pronounced sentence on the prisoner accordingly—that hc should bo confined duriug Iter Majesty ' s pleasure in such place as she shall think fit to appoint .

    The _Susdeulasd Election .--Wc announced last week therctirementof Mr . Bagsbaw , the Whig candidate , and the acceptance by Mr . Hudson , the great railway director , of the offer to be put in nomination as Conservative candidate . On Monday Mr . Hudson arrived from York , and made bis publie entry into the town . His friends having formed themselves into procession , proceeded from the railway to the George Hotel , accompanied by a band of instrumental music and a large crowd , who alternately hissed and cheered . Oti reaching the hotel , Mr . Hudson proceeded to address the electors aad others assembled , from the front window . He professed liimself a supporter of " our glorious constitution in Church and State , " - —and of the present Ministry ; he then adverted to his succcssiul speculations in railways—to bis not belonging to the aristocracy , and to bis elevation to 'his present position all of which , be argued , should recommend hiin to the

    lavour and support of tho electors . No sooner was Mr . Hudson ' s meeting * closed , than the Colonel ' friends held a -meeting in front of tbe Bridge Hotel , fronvthe window of whicli Mr .. . Moore , Mr . Bright , M . P .-, Col . Thompson , " Mr . A , " J , Moore , and Mr . Fain * , successively addressed an assembly of nearly a " thousand , chiefly working men and sii ~» _kecpcr ~ . The theme of the speakers was Mr .. Hudson ' s address and his importation of two hundred labourers from York . The state of tbe town , at tbis time , and , indeed , during the whole of Monday , was indescribable . —Thc agents of both parties were to be seen in every quarter , counselling " , entreating , persuading , and coercing the electors to vote for tbe respective eawlidatos , "who , sooth to say , , had uo enviable task , and must have suffered no ordinary fatigue nnd annoyance . On Tuesday thc proceedings werc much the same as on the previous day , both parties being counily assiduous in their canvass .

They replied , tbat tbey wcre not tlic members of tbe Association , and did not see whv

    he should interfere with tiiom . Mr .-J . _'O'Conui : !! , M .

    Mi ( . CLAKlv , _TU'JR , To nm Ciuansi' _Lyuv . —Friends , I am quite delighted at the _pvogres * which our Land phn is making , and thc zeal tiud spirit with which its _friii'ii _'* arc pushing it forward , _la-suva yon ' -bat yon can i ' linnno conception of tiio excitement which the _agitation of this question is can-in ;* among men who neve *' before paid the _slightc-t attention to our exclusively political movement ; these men now remdariy attend our meetings , and form the most attentive portion ot our audiences . Here let mc observe , tliat our "friends" need not alarm themselves about the

    " ' abandonment of the Charter , " and tlio "desertion * Of " lirst principles ; " as , so far from onr doing that , we bave now an opportunity of branching those principles , and enumerating tlte great truths of Chartism to persons who , could tlicy not sec some inuaedioie benefit to be derived irom the struggle , would not have anything to do with it , but who , in _conscqiicn- ' _-e of our propounding this Land scheme , listen to and applaud sentiment- * to wiiich tlicy wcre _ftancrly strangers , and in many instances oven enemies . On Tuesday _cvoiiing i _leeturod at a large village _abiiit three nii . es _fVenCDcwstiv . vy , called

    LITTLETOWN . And like Birstall the people fare all cn ; : a . ~ . y . , making cloths , but differ from their neighbi " . ; _*" . _* . inasmuch as they still cling to tbe "" good oh : ship , Charter , with consistency . I learned that t _•;• : " _.-. - . '• . repaid to the weavers would average about : kc ' ivc shillings per week , when fully employed , as i -..

I

    disposed ofa number ofrulcs and shares , i hnve no doubt bnt that we shall soon have a _siroiigl- > r :: \ iiv in this place , as tlicy all seem to bo _cotiveiyant -viU- ' ibo value of the soil , numbers of them _liavi _,- ; . ; ;• ' * - ' . . _ plots attached to their dwellings . 1 spti . l tlus greater part of the following day with a frk . \ A who took me round to several persons _tlutt posse-.. ; . . -- . yden . allotments : and really ] was astonished to k < av of the wonderful quantities of produce wlii _/ . i these parties obtain from their small plots of _iasd . I called on onc person who rents about an _xuva ami three quarters , more than one-third of whicli is umlcr grass , the remainder he has broken ,-p nnd cultivated with the spade , and sot thc wheat _stid potatoes on Mr . O'Connor ' s plan , and the rc _* a ! t _. has

    astonished every one that bas witnessed it-. The potatoes arc set in beds of three rows , somethin- * more than twelve inches apart . The _cr-ip ni'oduced is tlic most abundant ever _kitfiwa _** in that neighbourhood ; and yet , when Hit : . _* _'ec _ was planted , the wise men of the parish , ibe . farmers , and all who thought themselves . •'• to judge of the matter , declared thut the man -am- it- bo mad to pureue such a mode ot culture , and _j- ' iev unanimously decided tbat bo was a "d—a foul . " But now that they sec what be bas done , _ihav all say tbat they will follow his example . The _/" _TOliild has only been turncd-up tin ' s year . About X _*** , i _* e ! i last , tliis person set bis son , a young inn ?) about seventeen years old , to work to " -aire the land , that is , tocutoil ' thesod , as the land bad not been broken in within the memory of man , and to this young person was left thc task of cultivating it : which ,

    with the assistance of Mr . O'Connor ' s work upon Small Farms , be did . And how far lie was successful I will leave you to itlfcr from the fact , thnt lie haa made It produce at the _rateoftiuentj * tons of potatoes to the acre as a first crop , and that be bas new a second crop of cabbages on tbat land from which be has bad tho early potatoes . And . _supposiu _* _; * { be twenty tons to sell at £ 2 per ton , tbat is 10 s . less per ton than thc Mr . Bridge , tbe person aT .-- . deil to in Mr . O'Connor ' s letter of last week , sold Ms for , it would yield £ 10 per acre . And if the Cl'OP of cabbage produced from the same land in the same year showld only sell for £ 10 , one acre under litis mode of cultivation will be worth £ 50 , or tiro - . eves worth - £ 100 , * from which deduct for rent and expenses , say £ 22 , and you have left clear of cv - rything £ " 78 , or 30 s . per week for fifty-two wicks , which may be produced by less than ' six _iiu-iiibs ' labour in the year .

On Thursday evening 1 arrived at Ibis _WhiV-ndden place , and bad a famous out-door _meeting but was interrupted by somo well-dressed scamp ) ' who came drunk to the meeting , for tbe _purpose _' ei creating a disturbance ; but thanks to tbe good sense of those present , he failed in bis disgraceful . _Ucmufc , and was hooted from tho ground ; - after wliieli 1 proceeded with my address , which occupied il .- - * attention of thc audience until nearly eleven o ' clock , when I concluded , challenging discussion ; but ali _a-.: _* c- . ved to think as I bad spoken , and so we sepavnle ' _- ! ia peace .
