When he was about to be embarked , he , beinc relieTed for a niement from the binds which jjiil bound him to his two companions in misfortune , gadeaToured to throw himself into the basin , but a gendarme and a Nitional Guard were fortunately able to prevent the attempt .

The Mokitecr , of Monday , contains another long , long list of poor insurgents who were smuggled away in the dead of Sunday night .

      THE C 05 BTITCTI 0 N . In the National Assembly , on the 29 th nit ., M . VoiRHitK a = cended the tribune , and read the tmeuded draught of the Constitution , The first eight articles constitute a port of preamble to the whole . ; they deolare that France has constituted herself as a Republic , with a view to advance always to a hither degree of morality and civilisation ; the Republic is one and undivisible ; acknowledges the existence of , and declares that obedience is due to laws duly voted ; it recognises the respect doe to the church , to family ties , and property ; rejects all views of conquest , and undertakes no war nnless for legitimate defence , or to obtain satisfaction fur injuries done ; declares that every citizin ought to b :

      actuated by love for his country and by love fir his fellows—ought to procure for himself the means of exiitenee by foresight and labour . The Republic owes to all instruction suited to their . tation . and owes assistance to such as may require it . —[ It will he Ttmarked that the right of labour is not guaranteed in tiitpretantdraft ]—The greater number et the artides- ^ one hundred and twenty b all—are the eame as thoie in the original draft ; but 6 till there are some changes , most of which have been already made known according as the bureaux and committee decided on them . Thus there are to be only 750 representatives in the National Assembly ; one half , plus one , must vote , to pass a Mil . Tha President , who is to be elected by ballot and universal suffrage , is to present an annual message , giving an account of the situation of the Republic ; his period for remaining inoffieeis to be four years ; and after his time of erring has concluded , he cansot be again elected

      before four years have elapsed ; he is to have a readence provided for him at the expense of the State . » nd his salary is to be 600 , 000 f . [ A loud burst of exclamations took place here , but it was impossible to gay whether it was at the sum being too large or too smalij . _ No foreign forces are to ba introduced into the territory of the Republic without the permission of the National Assembly ; substitutes in the army are interdicted [ this provieicn , which waa found in the former draft , was received with loud marks of disapprobation ] . The new draft enters at great length into the mode of distributing justice , descending even to very minute particulars ; the pres 3 ia declared free , and a censorship cannot under any pretext be permitted . Immediately after the vote of the Constitution , the election of a President is to be proceeded to , without any delay being permitted to take place . And then again , without delay , the Assembly is to proceed to the discussion of the organic laws required to complete the Constitution .

      FacGBKsa or lire constEc-ntvoLCTios . On Wednesday the project of decree for the re-establishment of the duty on meat at the Bates of Paris was adopted after 6 ome -discussion . The Assemby next proceeded to diaen 3 s a proposition of M . Wolowfki , tending to abrogate the decree of the 2 adof ManA last , which had fxed the duration of labour at ten hours per day . M . Pzsbbb Lxbocx read alongaddres , expressive of his admiration of the decrea ia question . He declared that he should oppose the bill now brought forward , as putting an end to a bcon loudly called for by the vicious organisation of the present social condition of the people . In the course of his sddres ? , he referred to the services of LouiB Blanc , who , he said , had been driven from the A « semb ' y by a coup de mejoritc . ( Loud disapprobation ) The honouratle member was going on , declaring that Louis Blano had been the victim of his enemies , when

      res Phehdhst caUtd himno order , dec ' aring that heeoald not ' permit the honourable representative to state , without contradiction , that any act of the Assembly was the effect of % -tcwp de majorite . ( Hear , hear- * M . Pizkbe Lxbodx still continued his enlogiua of I / nris Blanc , declaring that that eminent citfea then shone by his ab * encafrom tha tribune . ( Oh ! eh 1 } Then , alluding to the-condition of the working classes , he maintained that they were ill-treated in Franse , in Eaglind . and re Selgium ; that the negleet-e-Tincad re ' ative to them sometimes amounted to brutality , and thateven massacres had been perpetrated against them . He then argued that to wcrfe more than ten hours per -day was most deleterious

      to health , and ought not to ba permitted . He then branched eut into an inquiry as to the position of the working classes—[ cries of ' -gstslion , question , ' matrix of iegj-aiienee )—and he came to the conclusion that sufficient time was net accorded , by the present state of things , to the working c ' awes , for their moral and intellectual improvement . Tfce Provisional Government had , he said , promised a number of measures for the amelioration of the position of the working population . The present was one of them ; and yet here was the present government consenting to hare the ehcrt hours accorded to then now revoked , and the old-system of servitude re-established . It was by association only , he sa d , that the immortal motto of their foiefathers—liberty , equality , and

      fraternitycould te realised . The Ststeras now the protector of all social order , which was threatened tote chanced by the individual efforts of each cf its members . The State should act the part of anintelligent gendarme . iGmer&llaughur . ) The decreewhich had been the subject of opposition could defend itself : tha laws ought to prevent any attack against the dignity of a man as agairst his existence , lie State was instituted , to interdict homicide , and what paople could tolerate each a crime ? A nation was so much the more civilised and the more esfiightened as it established degrees and distinctions of homicide . ( Ob ! oh !) The exponents of the decree attacked , asked what homiesde could be found in the proposed measure ? To that question the hooourable deputy

      replied by drawing a vivid picture of all the misfortunes which had been caused doing the last fifty years by the frightful massacre of what was called industry—{ laug hter}—and then proceeded to point out the excessive misery seA corruption of the work ing classes . ( A voice : That is calumny ); corruption and misery , which were , he said , the result of the excess of labour . The homicide being , he said , proved , where , be wcnld ask , were the delinquents ? They were to be found everywhere where there wei * men who encouraged this species of homicide , caused by the excess ef labour . The honoerable gentleman proceeded to further develops that idea , kisar gwatnu being repeaiediy met with load murmurs by the Astembly . Alter treating the question in a

      political and philosophical poiKt of view , lie declared his intention of next considering it in an economical one , bot , befoie doing so , begeed to be allowed to rest for a few minute ? . On again resuming , he went back to the state of society under the Roman empire , and cime gradually up to the present time , and reproduced his theory of net revenue . ( Murmurs ) He madeqnota'ions from the writings of modern economists—Ricardo , Malthus , Keeker , and C . Dopin—Md pointed out tke very low average waees of the workmen in France , asd tie expense of their living , lie afterwards passed on to thedefinition of property , aw thenee to that of capital , which he designated as the aboss of property . The interest which the capitalists drew from his tceney was that which was the

      oott revolting to every notion of morality aad if equity . ( Loud murmurs . ) Christianity was , he aid . on this point , ia accordance with the old laws of France , whkh applied the penalty of death for war * . He nniofained that , if the existing laws per-° "Uta sn interest to fce derived frtm money , it was a fc-wple censecsion cade by the State ; but it was that unfor tunate concession which was the cause of all the 'ufirriup under which the people laboured . The honourable deputy tavirg now arrived at hi * last * a « t , it was the signal of a bur it of satisfaction from the Assembly ; but when , on his concluding it , he dr «« - from beneath the tribune anather manuscript , mere voluraiaous thau the first , that satis"ctirn was changed into a general muimur of im-Pitenoe .

      The pEEfiDEST announced that the hononras . e deputy , feeling fatigued , had demanded that the T « nainder of his speech efcculd be deferred till the wowing day . . , Tne observation of the President was receired » itb a general exclamation of 'No , no , ' and the Cbarsb ; r beinz consulted , decided that the speech should be t « rminatcd before the Assembly rose .

      refusing U adjourn the discussion , he was compelled to withdraw . A . M . Doffby then spoke against tha Ten Hours decree . The debate was then adjourned . On Thsraday Baron G . Dcpis spoke at great length in opposition to Pierra Leroux . His speech conMBted of the UBpal Btring ef fallacies and false , hoods so often delivered by the rascally political economists of England . M . Skrabd , Minister of the Interier , said that M . Alciu had brought forward an amendment which he had previously submitted to the government , to limit working honra to twelve hours a day as a maximum . Out of fifty-eight prefecta consulted , fifty-two had sent replies that twelve houis would perfectly suit the cate < In cons quence , the government would acquiesce in the amendment allcded to .

      M . Leon Fatjchsb ( a friend of Cobden ' s , ) expressed his smpriss to see the Minister of the Interior following in the steps of M . P . Leronx . ( Great noise . ) Tes , he repeated it , in the steps of that honourable gentleman : for if M . P . Leroux supported a system of restriction in favour of the classes , M . Senard did the same , though in a less degree . ( Agitation ) M . Giuboh entered into a defence of the doctrines of M . Iauis Blanc . The debate was brought to a dose at the Bitting on Thursday .

      M . Pascal Ddpiut , the reporter , having rammed up the arguments brought forward en both sides during the discussion , concluded by declaring that thooeh he folly maintained the conclusions of his report he should * propose to send back to the Committee on Labour whatever amendments had been proposed , in order that the committee might examine them maturely and make them the object of a new report . The P&xsiBKST read the several amendments , and they we e all referred as proposed .

      On Friday the Assembly discussed tha project of decree for the re-establishment ef arrest for debt abolished by a decree of the ix-Provisional government on the 9 th of March last . M . Wolowski combated the measure , as opposed to morality and the interest of trade itself . M . Cremieox demanded the maintenance of the decree of the late government . M . Senard , the Minister of the Interior , supported the project of ita revival , contending that the maintenance of imprisonment for debt was indispensable in commercial matters , although it might in other respects ba abolished . In ctnclugion , he proposed that the Assembly should admit the principle , reject the abrogation of the decree of the 9 ; h of March , and refer for examination to the Committee of Legislation the numerous amendments to the decree . A division having been called for , the abrogation of the decree of the 9 th of March , 1848 was decreed by a majority of 456 to 237 votes . The Assemb ' y then adjourned .

      THE STATE OP SIEGS . M . Leichtenberger bsd proposed to have the state of siege ta \ en off before discussion on the constitution ; the committee on legislation recommended to put the proposition aside . On Saturday thfe question was discnised , when Lertru Rollin delivered an excellent speech . General Cavaignsc replied , and defended the state of siege as necessary . On a division , M . Lsichtenber ^ er ' s proposition was rejected by 529 votes against 140 .

      MILITARY BIVIEW . Paws , Sunday Evening . — The review , of troops and National Guards in the Champ de Mars is the event of the day . The number ef troops appeared extraordinary . It is said that there were from 70 000 to 80 0008 o ! diers on the ground . The weather was magnificent . There was no manifestation of enthusiasm , or of any particular feeling one way or the other . The Daily Nkw 3 of Wednesday contained thafollowing ; : —

      Mokdat . 6 30 p m . — Considerable agitation has prevailed to-day in the government , in consequence of a proceeding oa the part of the National Guard yesterday , whJch , it is now understood , was intended as a protestation , by a large majority of that body , against the head of the government . Although the National Guard was invited to attend the review in great force , it was found that not more than 300 men mustered for each battalios , inone battalion the number was under 250 . Thisrcbake , proceeding frost « uch afeody . hasbeeakeenly felt , and has given serious uceasines 3 to the head of the government . It is generally understood thai several causes of disiatisfac ^ tiro have led to this cpecies of negative demons * tration ; the first and principal is the offensive ex pressions used by General Cavaignac against the

      legitimist party , and particularly against some Iegirns of the Nations ! Guard , which he affirmed were conspiring against the government . The second cause was that the govermreat abstained from contradicting a report , which was generally circulated , of the arrest of two hi gh military functionaries , undcrstotd to be Gsn . Lunoriciere , Minister of War , and Gen . Chargamier , CommaEder of the National Guard . The third cause assigned , was the dissatis faction prrducei by the distribution of the crosses of the L ?? ioa of Honour among the legions of tbe Rational Guard . To whatever extent any or nil of these causes may have biea operative , it is certain that nothing so serious has occurred to disturb the serenity of the executive power since the interaction has been suppressed .

      • DISCUSSION OF TEE O 05 STITDTI 0 N—OBOAHIG iLAWB . On Monday the Assembly decided , by 586 to lied , that it would not separate until it had voted the organic laws . The general discussion en ths Constitution , properly so-called , then commenced , and was far from presenting anything of intere-t . The arguments brought forward on several of the principal points , such as theatility of one or two chambers , the election of the President by adrenal suffrage , £ c ., were mere repetition ot what had beea already said in the discussions before the committee and in tbe-bureanx .

      The discussion of the'Constitution was coaticued on Tuesday . Amongst < the speakers was Pierre Leroux . who at the dote of a long speech , said he rejected the constitution because it contained no principle , no trutCB , capable of disarming parties , andbtcapte it maintained monarchy under the name of a presidency . M . Lerons suggested that theeon-Btitution should be radically amended in its essential prescriptions , lest it should experience the fate of preceding constitutioni , and like them remain a sheet of waste paper .

      HUNGARY . Letters from Pesth of the 25 th ult ' , in the Basslaves Zkitdso , bear witness to the sad condition of the Hungarian affairs at Peath and on the soeue of war . Treason , anarchy , and cowardice seem to be the order of the day among the'Hungarian troops . They were twice beaten near . Lagerdorf by a body of insurgents of nearly half their number , and flad in a parcxysm of fri ght and anarchy . The commander of a Hungarian force in the vicinity refused to protect or to rally the fugitives . The insurgents have likewue driven the Hungarian troops from the town of Weisskirchen , bat the latter , being reinforced by some regiments , returned and reconquered the town , a'lthe Rairigh inhabitants of which were butchered by the Hungarians . In spite of all these cruelties , the insurgents have obtained signal advantages , and are daily gaining ground .

      POLAND . ADDRES 3 OF THE ^ POLISH EMIGRATION . [ The Central Committee of the Palish Demooratio Society , in France , having learned the decision of the German Assembly at Frankfort-on-the-Maine . in conseqaenoeof which decision the Grand Duchy of Posen is to be partitioned , has issued the following address to the German People . ] People of G :-rmany ! Juslieefor Poland , ! ' was the ory which resounded from your barricades ; and , Behold , your representatives pronounae the sentence of Another partition of this vast country 1 Will you suffer It ! No !

      For you would Ghrlnk frem beoomlng an executioner more cruel then the old hangmen of Poland ; from cutting into pieces what that robber-congress of Vienna sparedeven though te be the victim of their rapacity and ambltion—that in bo doing you m ' ght appropriate a part to yoarss-lvM , and throw the other parl for prey to the greedy Meteorite ! I * it beoauie your colonists have settled themselves on fte Polish toil , protected by the hospitality of its indigenous Inhabitant * , whom they afterwards repulsed , and took possession ot a p * rt of tfceir territory ; if it because German legions came to oppress the Poles with a foreign yoke : because German jrarnejmsi flicked togethsr from ritno'o countries to erect fortresses against the Polhh patriot *; is it because thoasanda of the bailiffs of an odious government , with their families , fell upon the fio'da delivered to their rspacity , and satiated themselves with the blood and the labour of the native r&ce ; i « it because they , themselves counting t ! ie rotea which were

      to decide upon tho . maJmtenanee of theirinjagtiop . falsifi . d their amount , compelled peoplo to vote according to their purpose , violating . thus their consciences ; is it on acoouat of such deeds that a provinoe , " acknowledged as Polish , tbat i » to joy , constituting an integral part of a vast empire ba « ely torn to pieces , and whlob , accerdiog to your own ftc&nowledgment , hat an indisputable right of reconstructing Its independence !—is it on that account tbat it is bo longer to belong to Poland ? And if , in virtu ? of yoor premise * , Poland were to rise to-morrow , must she iaotcde you among her plunderers andamangat her moit implacable enemies . ? Would joa , People of Q ermany , prefer to be our enemy —prefer to be confederated with our tyran ' s ?

      Would you consent that the guilt of the blood shed on the fie * d « of ^ jrfonj , JfOoslor , and Fsjeflmw , scarcely yet congealed , should , in consequence of that latt and most hHeoui partition ef Poland , fall upon the heads of your sent , jour wives . and your ^ cbildr . n ? le was net this that tbe real interpreters of the People ' s will promised n » when , penetrated b y the spirit of revo ntioa , they assembled and £ rst pronouiced on the new mount Tabor those words of peace , of justice , of brotherhood , and of progress , with which regsnerated Germany saluted the new youth of the world !

If Poland were alive , ebo would bav * remained deaf to his call ; she would have exposed her breast to the blows destined for you ; she would have turned ber brethren of German 6 Uvoniafrom

      the walls of Viennaand Berlin , and would have led them under tte rlig of mutual freedom against the Ciarlan despotism , cad tfcue die would have served as a link of that fraternal cbnin which sought to ' nnlte the East with the Weit of Earope In a common progress .

The metttn ^ s in co anexioawiththe Irish mo ve mantin America were going on with more iritenaity than ever , and tbe most exaggerated reports were in circulation respecting the successes ' of the Irish . A * a proof of this , the correspondent of the Tribdue has it ihit , at the affair of Stieveoamoo , ' the people had a ereat victory ' . General Macdonald was killed , and 6 , 009 of the British tioops were killed and wounded . Three miles of tbe road were said to have een covered with dead . Kilkenny and Limeriok were takes , by the people . The citizens of Dublin went in thousands to assist the patriots ! Dillon and Meagher were wounded , and it was expected that

      Dublin would rise and attack the gaols ori Sunday , August 6 th . ' Not only this , but the Tbibuke ' b cor . rei > pondent adds : — ' The 3 rd Baffs turned and fought with tbe people ; all the people on the railroad were cautioned and commanded not to tell the news , and the police drove away those who ' asked questions . ' It is no cause of wonder that , with Buch Btirring intelligence , an additional impetus' should have been given to the agitation . Large meetings have been held in Philadelphia , Joston , and New York . A t one meeting , held in thf last-named city , 'It is impossible . ' BayB the New York Herald , 'to describe the intense feelings ot hatred which eaoh donor breathed against England , as he handed in his tnrmev . '

      Mr Gweley , editor eftbe Tribune , is reported bj the Hirald to have said : — ' The humbler clasaea in particular are bound to contribute , aa this was a struggle carried on for the pour against the rich , not only in Ireland , bat in Scotland , England , and everywhere . ' Mr O . O'Oennor read lists of Bums received from different olaoea since the previous meeting , amounting to 4 , 027 dollars . Nearly 6 . 000 dollars weie raised at the close of the meeting . Mr E .

Utica , Albany , Canandaigua , & 3 ., and then east to Hartford , &a . The collections raised at al ! those meetings having been about 5 , 000 dollars .

      An immense . meeting was' held on Mondaj , AuguBt 21 st , in Vaoxhall Garden ' s , New York . Lou ? before the hour of meeting , which was fixed at eight o ' clock , the varions streets hading to the place ot meetioR were throDgtd with people , who werf hastening to givo exoreesion to their feelings on the late events which feave taken place in Ireland . On the motion of General Walbridge , Mr Bartholomew O'Connor was called to the chair . Tho speeches , which take np more than three closely printed columns of the Tribune , may be con deused as follows : —The language was violent as IaneuBRe cnuld be ; evn-y word against England was received with uproarious cheering , as also anything relating to tbe proposed invasion of Canada .

      Mr O Connor snnounoed that the following sums had been received : —Verphnolc , 111 dols . 60 cents ; Mill River . Mass .. 26 dols . ; Bangor , Me ., 320 dols . ; Bartford , Conn . 412 dote . ; aa Amerioan lady , from Providence , 5 dols . ; ( this amount was hailed with three cheers)—Newburg , 16 dols .: Emmetfc Club , New Orlean « , 350 dols . ; Auburn , N .

      At this stase of the meeting , William H . Mitche ) , brother of John Mitoael , appeared , when the deafening shouts of the people rang through the spacious hall , and thousands of voices called for ' Mitohel . Mitohel 1 ' He said— ' My friends , we have two very important accounts since the sailing of the last steamer . We are told by tbe English papers that the revolution had been subdued by a few police , while there is a censorship exercised over the Irish press . We are told that Smith O'Brien has tied ; but that is a lie , from the fact that he is represented to have fled in three different direotioni . By the news of tho last steamer it was stated that Meagher , Rile ? , and other ? , had fled , and the police were after them , for the reward whioh had been offered for their arrest . But that is not so , for they were organising clubs ,

      That a man could lie in ambush . for twenty-four hours in impossible , if there was nothing more to be done than to find hits . We are told that 40 . 000 men had been sent to Ireland to suppress the in-urreetion ; but if the people could be subdued by Inspector Trant it was a useless proceeding . Nolhicg iB said by the English papers about the whereabouts of Dillon and Meagher . With regard to the . letter received lest , I can tell you it was not written with a view to deceive , for the young man who wrote tbat letter would cot be guilty of such a thing , though , in tho excitement , while the reports were coming into Dublin , it might be less than there stated . I hope no one will discredit that matter , for it was truth ; while the statements in the English papers are a tissue of falsehoods Mr M . too ' * his Beat amid the vociferous shouts of the assembled multitude .

      Mr Milen then appeared , and presented 100 dollars from the Mitchel Club . The Irish Felen Club here entered with drum and fife , bearing a banner with the following inscription : —

      IRISH FELON CLUBS . Hereditary Bondsmen ! knew ye not , Was would ba free , tbunselvw must Btrike the blow •' and presented 200 dollars . A oontributioa of 100 dollars from the Tailors ' ( Mitchen Association . 7 , 600 dollars were collected before the meeting separated . EXCITEMENT IN COMMERCIAL CIROLBB . , Nbw York , Aug 20 , Six p , m —The past week has been one of considerable excitement in political circles , and it has not been without its effect upon financial affairs . A few days previous to the arrival ; of the steamer , the publiomind became very muob cxoitedinrelatioa . tothe anticipated revolution in Ireland , and bHsiness' operations were , in a great

      measure , suspended . Quotations for stocks of all kinds receded , and there waaa very general disposition exhibited to wait the receipt of further intelligence from the other aide . At an ewly hour yesterday the steamer was telegraphed , and immediately / after the receipt of papers , an Extra Herald spread tbe news into every section of the city . Politically , the accounts were considered by a portion of our population rather unfavourable , and many were evideislly disappointed .

      ALARMING ACCIDENT ON TflE NOR III WESTERN RAILWAY . Another very revere aloient , resulting in severe injury to several persons and in an immense destruction ef property , took place at an early hour on Tubs-? h £ i ?» T B- ? the Leighton BuBBdatation on this line ot railway . f iT " 0 oiro " m 3 l 8 n ? |' may be briefly described as i j 7 l ; 8 . *^ sf a « on is distant from London 40 } miles j within about five hundred yards north of the station , the Linslsde tunnel , a quarter of a mile in length , in entered , and about three hundred yards north of this tunnel is the Linslade ballaBt pit , whenoe a large portion of the gravel used in keeping up the touthern division of the line is obtained . Shortly after two o ' clock on Tuesday morning a train

      of ballast carriages , belonging to Mr Madman , the contractor for tho permanent way , left Wolverton , and proceeded up tV . o line as far as Leighton Btation . Having taken water here , the driver , Martin Cole , crossed from the up to the down line , and returned through the tunnel to the ballast pit for the purpose of taking in a load of gravel for oonveyaoco to Berkbampatead . There are two sidings running into Una pit , and in consequent of neither one of them being sufficiently long to contain the whole train , Cole detached some portions of the waggons , and placed them in the . siding , and then returned for the ether portion of the train , left meantime upon the main down line . He had just got back on to the main line , and was about to couple his engine to the

      remaining waggons , when the 12 30 a . m . luggage train , from Camden-station , oame through the Linsdale tunnel at a great speed , and the next instant ran into his train of empty waggon * , cruBhing the break van into a thousand piecesj and strewing the wajrgona about the line in every direction . The engine and tender ot the geods train were thrown off the rails and dnvea nearly on to the up line , while several of the goods waggons were entirely destroyed , and their contents strewed about the railway . At the same moment , soarcely allowing time for those few partieB present to recover themselves from the shock eccasioned by the accident , the York mail oame up at ita usual Bpeed , and no Bignal of the obstruction being displayed , tha driver , Daniel Ross , ran headlong into

      the debris occasioned by the previous collision . The effect ot this seoond collision was to throw the engine and tender of the mail train completely across the down line , and crush , more or less , leveral of the succeeding carriages . The escape of the driver and stoker was perfectly miraoulous . The former was , however , severely injured , and is now lying at Leighton , but the stoker appears to have been thrown by _ the force of the concussion completely over the ruins of the broken carriages and waggons—described by an eye witness to have been between twenty and thirty feet high—on te the embankment on the down line , where he alighted comparatively nnhnrt . The first carriage behind the tender in the York train was a Midland Company ' s break or parcel van , which consists of a compartment at either end for the conveyance of Ingeage , and a small box in the centre in which

      the guard sita . This break , aa well as tbe parcels van succeeding it , was crushed to pieces , and Tucker , the nnder guard , remained buried in the rui&B of the former fer more than two hours in Bpite of every effort made to extrioato him . HiB head and chest were fortunately at liberty , and therefore , although Buffering great pain , his strength was kept up by administering stimulants until his extrication was at length accomplished . The first compartment of the second class carriage which followed the parcels Van was entirely-destroyed . A man and woman , with two children , who were riding in it , were miraculously preserved . The passengers on the train of courBe all sufiered more or less , but no injuries beyond a few s-light cuts and bruises appear to have been sustained by any of them ; a fact which , when all the circumstances ot the accident are taken into censideration , ma ; be fairly considered miraculous .

      Fears are entertained that Rosb , the driver of the York traiD , has suffered some internal injury . Tucker , the nnder guard , is better than could have been expected , considering - the awful position in whioh he was so long plaoed . A valuable pointer dog , belonging to a gentleman iB the train , which was under Tucker ' s care in the break , had its hind leg completely out off by the collision . ¦ Among the ruins of the luggage there was discovered , shortly after the acoident , a barrel of gunpowderi the j , top of the cask having given way and dflsoloEed its dangerous contents It was described by the direction aa full of butter . The company have a olue to the party by whom it was sent , and it is to be hoped they will visit , him with the severest penalty the law allows . The bare contemplation of what might have been the consequence of this breach of the law is dreadful .

      Refusal of thb Jury io fikd a Vebdiot . —Yesterday the jury in this case reassembled at the Town-hall , Lancaster , ' when the foreman Baid they had considered the case duly and truly over , and could not come to a decision . It rested with the coroner , therefore , to exeroiso his prerogative of ordering their discharge , or directing them to be locked up without meat or drink till they agreed , which they hoped ho would not think of doing , as there was not the Blights probability of their coming to a verdict , hqwe 7 er long they might be detained . The coroner Baid ho was sorry he had no power to order their discharge . The jury were then given in charge

      to the bailiff of the court , with the' usual caution , After being incarcerated an hour and a half , they sent to say thafc they were as much divided in opinion as ever , and likelj to remain so . They were then bound over by the coroner , in the sum of £ 10 each , tb'appear when called upon at the next assizes . It is snid that fiva ivere for returning a verdict of ' Accidental death , ' and seven for finding Morris , the driver of the e 5 press train , ' Guilty of manslaughter , ' on the ground chat he had not used sufficient oution in approaching the station where the accident ocourred . The decision , or rather no decision , of the jury has excited a general feeling , of dissatisfaction .

      The report of Captain Laffan , the government inapeotor , as to the causes of the accident ( after a lengthy statement of the case ) , thuB concludes : — 'By this ODllision one third-class passenger , a woman , was killed on ths ' spot , and several persons were injured , Borne so severely that it is feared they may not recover . So many causes combined to produce this catastrophe that it is not easy to determine to whioh to give pieoedence .. 1 Bhonld say that those causes were —1 . Tke lateness of the express train and its starting . so soon after the slow looaltrain . 2 . The inefficiency of the ' sighals on the line- 3 The local train , not keeping its time ard taking bo precaution when they knew they were late , and that the express was . behind them . 4 . The uncertainty as to who is the rightful possessor

      of tbe line . 5 . The want of a proper understanding between the Lancaster and Carlisle , and the lessees of the Lancaster ar ) d Preston ' Railway . C The rule which allows an express train , whioh often runs at forty five miles ah hour , to pass a station only five minutes after a slow train . ?• The want of sufficient station accommodation at Preston , causing all the trains to the north to start late . I would suggest that ; tbe two companies should come to a good understanding , and that every effort should be made to determine the right ownership of this railway ; that the sunals be immediately replaced by others of a baiter description ; that tbe express be not allowed to piss till ten minti tea after , the starting of a preceding traii ^ andtlia ; . means be taken to ensure , as fir as possible , greater punctuality in the times of starting from the Preston station .

      Three Men anh Four Women Drowned off tiie Donegal Coast . —A fatal accident ( says a correspondent , writing from the Cross-roads near Denfanaghy ) took place at BaUinass Pierhead , within a mile of this , on Tuesday week last . A number of poor starving creatures went to the strand for the purpose of searching tbe sand for a kind of fish called snrfd eels , with which to appease the pangs of ravenous hunger . A small channel lay between these creatures and the sand bank in which they expected to get the fish . One of the hands of

      a craft tbat lay at the Pierhead took the ship ' s boat to ferry them over . It was blowing a heavy gale at the time . The boat being small , was not able to resist its violence . It sank , and the women so clung to the men that all in tbe boat with the exception of one litile boy , perished , including the kind-hearted sailor who volunteered his boat to carry these ill-fated v ' ctims within reach of food . All the bodies have not yet been found ; some of the women were the wives of poor inea who had-gone to England to' labour at the harvest . —Freeman ' s Journal . '

      Dover . —Whirlwind . — One of these violent and mysterious movements of th ' e atmosphere occurred at the , top of the CastlehiU here , about eleven o clock , a . m ., on Thursday last . Its appearance and effects were more immediately observed by some men who were stacking wheat on a farm in the neighbourhood . It arose with a low whizzing sound , though scaicely a breath of wind was stirring at the time . In appearance it resembled a white columnar-shaped , cloud , and approached with a revolving motion , taking up , in its course , whatever movcable material came in ita way . Straw , and

      even stones and brick-bats , were whirled about by it in all directions ; and a hedge with which it came in contact was considerably disturbed . Fortunately the stacks and shocks escaped without injuryt After continuing to sport about the hill for ' some ten minutes , the whirlwind traversed a clover field , passed over the South Foreland seaward , and like a narrow white cloud it rose hi gh in the air and disappeared . Contemporaneously with this phenomenon , theie , was observed near Deal , a water spout , ard a tremendous shower of rain fell imme diately after . —Maidstmie Gazette .

The Earl of De * a » t opposed the measure , as beteg a part of tho poiicy wbich , baring nnt attacked the agricultural interest , and the snipping interest , now assailed tbe mining Interest , without tbeir haying bad that satisfactory uui ( all txperltnco of tbe resnitsof that policy which would justify them in s-xtending the cirole of lt « eperution , He bIso strongly condemned the buBtu with which the measure had been pmseS forward .

      The Marquli of Lanbdowse prenusned ihat the noble lord was not present i n tbe preceding day , wken , It having been avktd if it were intended to renen the op * posltioa to the bili , no answer was given , and that silence led to the hftrenoe that further opposition waswaived . The Earl of Paiho dih thought th » t the hasty court * taken by the government wilh resp . c ! to tho measuro ttbb sufficient to justify his noble friaod in his oppo lition . Earl Oket stated that the understanding lasi evening was , that the farther progress of the bili was not to bo opposed , and after such an ucdeniandiiw it was not a very dignified course to recew the opposition , As to the late period of its introduction Into their lordships * home , that arose ftom the lengthened opposition the measure had met in the lower house . Lord Wihfobd had been no part ; to the understand , icg referred to by the noble earl .

      MONDAY , SzmxBEft 4 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Royal Asotnt was given bj commission to a great number of public and private bills . On the third reading of the City of Londen Sewers Bill , The Bail of RiDwos proposed a clause , limiting tht ) operation cf the bill io two years . After a short diiousiion the olause was negatived on a division by a majority of five to four . The bill was then read a third time and passed . On the third reading of the Copper and Lead Duties BIJ , The Earl of IIountoashel satd he shoutd obstruot tbe bill by ever ; means in bis power , as a measure in . jurlous to the national industry of Eogland and o lrthnd .

      The Eail of Falhouth moved as an ameodment that the bill bu read a third time that d * y six months . Their lordthlps divided , and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 25 to 11 . The bill was the * read a third time tnd passed . On the motion for the third reading of the Eichequer Bills Bill , Lo : d Monte agie said , the bill gave great powers to tbe Cbanoellor ef the Exchequer , whioh it behoved Parliament to watch with griat jealousy . He could , at the will and pleasure of tho . government , tbrow either Exchequer Bills or Stock into tbe Money Market , which would be thus most disadvantageous !; interfered with .

      The Marquia of Laosdowni admitted the bill to ba one of great importance , but fce believed that , undse existing circumstances , no obo could object to it . They had been compelled to adopt the present course by the great indUposltlen manife ^ ed , both within and with , out ths walls of Parliament , to submit to Increased taxa * tion . The bill was then read a third time and passed . The Marqsls of Lavbdowke thin informed their lord * ships that her Majesty would prorogue Parliament atont ( instead of two ) o ' chvk , to-morrow .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Sir W . Cut moved , —> That the evide&co taken before the Cheltenham election oommlttee be printed , and took that opportunity of de . fending the committee from the aaperaioua oast upoa it by Mr Craven Berkeley . In coneequtnee of that speeoh he had placed himself in thehands of friends , but oh mature consideration , and nfleoting that ho bed Deeix sitting as cbalrmsn of the committee in a judicial ctpa . oity , it was thought that he would not be justified ia taking notice of those aspersions otherwiio thernia that bouse , and in bis " character as a member of that heuse . He thought , however , that the house by Borne raolutioa s ' aouW oxpresB i ; & disapprobatUn ot the course taken by Mr Berkeley , or at all events , give tho committee tho consolation of bslieving that in the opinion of the housa they had conscientiously discharged the duties wtkhhad been confided to them .

      Lord J . Hay said he had betn consulted by the con , baronet , and bad no hesitation in deciding that hla hen , ftiend would not be justified in seeking private redress for , an indignity offered to him when iu the discharge of a publio duty . Lord PitMEBSTON believed the house would be of opi . nion that tbe conduct of his hon . friend required no ex . planation to prove tbat the attack made upon him by Mr Berkeley was wholly undeserved , , The motion was ih £ n agreed to . In reply to a question from Mr Heniet ,

      Mr Wilsom said he was unable to say whether the securities of Sir T . Torton , as Receiver of Intestate EttateB in Isdla were in a condition to make good the sum of £ 10 , 000 , for which they were responsible , but ho rather believed that some of thtm were not , Thesuna for which they were liable , however , would not be snffi . oient to cover the defalcations ef S r T . Turton , As th * law stood neither the government nor anybody else was liable for the defalcations , and the claimants must bo left to their discretion as to the coarse they would pursue . Some routine buniness was then disposed of , and th house adjourned .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuzsda , September 5 . —Thfr having been tbe day fixed on for tbe prorogation of par * liament by the Queen in person , great anxiety was manifested by the fortunate possessors of orders from the Lord Cbamberlain to obtain early admissien to the splendid edifice in which the grand cerenunial waa to be performed .

Long before that time , however , the galkrieB and seats in the body of the

      house were filled by a brilliant assemblage of ladies , whose beauty and elegance of attiro , together with ths gorgeous character of the building , presented a coup ( Tailof . surpassing magnificence . The day was remark , ably fine , and the splendid sunlight streaming through tho painted glass lighted up the eceno with additional grandeur . A considerable numbtr of the corps diplo . matique were present , and occupied seats reserved for them to thi right of the throne , immediately above the bench of bishops .

      Lord Monieaolg believed that as no personal Bervice > hod been effected , it would sot be legal te order that these persons be taken into custody . He would there , fore move that William Chadwiok and John Mariner be ordered to attend at the bar of their lordBhip ' s houie oa the first Monday after the commtnciment of the ntxt session , and he intended to follow tbat up by moving for the ptoductlon of all documeutB and accounts relating to tbe affairs of the North Wales Railway Company .
