Tno conKquecce uaslhat acoUiiioa took place , and aa unfortunate

      man , balonging to the ballast train , and who was riding on the engine , wag so jammed among the workk that it was impossible to extricate him alive . Fortunately , however , the whole of the passengers escaped without a brokea limb , although , several Buffered , necwsarily , very severe contusions . Two ot the directois , Me Bead and Mr Lacy , M . P .. were passengers by the express tram . So fat as can at present be ascertained , the moving of the ballast engine from the siding appears to have b 3 en as act of the most extraordinary recklessness and incauiioa on the put of its driver , as the express train was at the time two or three minutes overdue , and its arrival must hwe been momentarily expected . Both the driver and the fireman of the ballast engine are in custody awaiting an inquiry , and the company are resolved to investigate this unfortunate occurrence ? in the fullest manner , in order to enable them to adopt the most effectual means far the prevention of inch accidents for the future .

Total new cues , 24-10 deaths . Gholera 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 , bat much mitigated in severity . A good deal of this is probably owing to the propitious state of the weather .

      On Monday only one case of ctolera in London was reported to the Board of Health . It occurred in Kensington , and was fatal . From tbe provinces reports were received of five cases at Blyth , of which two were fatal . In Scotland the disease is still a ; tive . The return is :-Edinburgh , 21 , 12 fatal ; L ° ith .

Total new oases , 30—16 deaths . Tuesday night ' s GizETiE contains a third notification from the Board of Health stating that it has appeared to them' desirable that tha

      epecut orders and regulations ( previously published ) should hereafter take effect , without farther notification , in all places forthwith , upon the actual occurrence of cases of cholera , and by these orders and regulations they do so provide . In all cues , however , if theseordersaresctedupon , immediatenoticeofthe fict must be sent to the General Board of Health , and the medical officers will be required to notify , frost time to time , for the information of the board , any progress which the epidemio may make in their respective districts .

      WEST RIDING ELECTION . BESISNA . TIOS OF MR FITZWILLIAM , Leeds , Wednesday . —Toe extremely unfavourable reception Mr Fitztrilliam met with at his canvassing debut in Leeds yesterday , has had the effect of inducing the Hon . Candidate ' s resignatien . This fact was this morning communicated to Mr Edward B&ines by Mr Thomas William Tottie , the legal agent at Leeds of the Fitzwilliam family , in a letter , of which the following is a copy : — Leeds , Nov . 22 . 18 ( 8 .

      Pear Sir , —I have this morning received a letter from Ue Georg « W . F . tz « illiam , authorising and requesting me to annonnce that after the hostility exhibited towards hit brother Caarles at Leeds , yesterday , he has come to the resolution tbat it is prudent for him to withdraw from a position which is so likely to provoke a contest and that he will therefore discontinue bis canvass . I hasten to communicate this intelligence to you with the vibw that you may make it known Immediately , and as extensively ai possible . Yours faithfully ,

      Edw . BataM , Esq . Thos , Wh . Totih . Something more than a probability exists that Mr Beckett Dsnison , who retired at tha general eleotion upon the nomination of Mr Cobden , will be brought forward by the Conservative party . The Liberal party held this morning a meeting of delegates from tb . B various polling districts of the Riding , at Normanton , for the purpose of considering the steps to ba taken in the present position of affiire , and of deriding whether or not J .

      A . Roebuck , Esq ., the ex-member for Bath , should be pat in nomination . Mr Francis Catbntt , late Mayor of Leeds , occupied the chair . The name of Mr ftoeWk was Tewived witn the utmost enthuBia « a 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 Smith was the a cdidate fixed upon .

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

      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 objectstrongly relieved by the brightness of the yellow sand—and surrounded at a little distance by a flock of sea-mews . Their first impression was that they had found a prize of a stranded bottlenose ; but a nearer 8 nr ? ey altered tlieir opinion , and the elder sportsman . 'determineato be prepared for all contingencjes , drew from his blunderbuss the small shot with which it was loaded , and having increased the charge of powder . substituted a musket ball

      and some slugs . Thus armed he proceeded stealthily along the beach , until nearing his game he discovered it to be a huge seal , which , soothed by the comfortable temperature of the sunny beach , and luxuriating in the grateful digestion of its late breakfast , and , mthal , anticipating Mure successful interception of salmon on their way to Chanonry Point , had fallen fast asleep . Facts are Btranger than fiotion , and in the scene which followed Captain Macintyre ' s encounter with the Phoca , so humorously described in the « AHtiqnary , ' is thrown into the shade . The musketeer , Simon , having dispatched a companion by a circuitous ronte to a mussel scalp , with instructions to cut off the retreat

      of the seal from his native element , should the pending assault prove scatheless , he , in concert with theftbird , formed Ks plans and cautiousl y advanced the second having attained his position—the mark * , man , excited by the prospect before him , proceeded with less caution , until observed by the gulls These snowy sentinels took to flight , and in their mazy whirls screamed bo loud that the seal awoke from his luckless slumber , and edged away . Click went the ponderous doghead , off went the overcharged musket , and backwards fell the sportsman into a thicket of whins . The third , seeing from the convulsive motions of the animal that he was wounded , rushed at him and seized him by one of

      the hmd pws . Onward bounded the seaL dragging the prostrate wight as a dog does an old kettle pattering and scattering showers of sand behind him ! The second , who started from his ambuscade on heariog the report of the musket , now confronted the phoca , armed with a cudgel hurriedly manufactured from a whin stalk , with which he harmlessl y belaboured the animal until the stick was wrested from him , he being upset in the struggle . The shooter , now somewhat recovered from the son . cussion and pain of his overthrow , came tardily to the rescue , and with all the emphasis of which he was master , inflicted on the 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 him . How long the warfare might have lasted , or what the result would have been , is uncertain , had not the shooter changed his mode of assault , and used a clasp-knife , with which he enlarged the gun-shot wound . The bleeding animal bellowed and straggled , but at last gave in . The conflict lasted fifteen minutes , and one of the party was dragged through the sands sixty or seventy yards , perseveringly kee ping hold of the seal till the last . The lads were so harkd and bespattered that an ardent geologist might have mistaken them for encrusted anlropolites or specimens of new red sandstones . The seal measured seven feet four inches in length , five feet ten inches m circumference , and yielded fourteen gallons of oil , °

Mr Henry Beresford , superintendent of the C division of police , said—I produce the report made by me to the Commusionera of Police , and the order of the Commiisioners to enter the house No . 17 , CaBtle Street , Leicester Square . In compliance with this order I went about a quarter-past nine last night to the house , accompanied by several constables . On arriving at the door , I found it secured by a strong chain . I knocked ie * veral times for ' admission , and not receiving any answer , 1 directed the oonstables to break the door open , which , after some difficulty , was done . I then went into a room oa the ground floOr , where I saw the defendants Hsrt , Mathews , Sey fort , and Holland .

      I directed tbe constables to secure them . I then forced an entranoe through a thin partition leading to the stairs . On arriving at the top of the staircase I found all further ingress scoured by a trap eoor which was Btrongly fastened . I directed it to be forced open by crowbars , and after sometime a hole sufficiently large was made , through which ff constable was out , who broke open the door with a crowbar . I then went into a room and found the other defendants sitting ronnd a table covered with green baize , f here wai a fire in the room , and I distinctly saw papers burning in the grate , and a quantity of metal in a state of fusion . I directed a constable to throw some water on the fire which extinguished it . I then saw one of the constables

      take the portion of the roulette wheel , produced from a sink in the room , I also fonnd an engraving , which fitted into the frame of the roulettee wheel ,, which , when hanging nphad alltheappearaGce of a picture . In another part of tbe room I found the bank boxes and the metal produced , which was taken from under tha grate . The whole of the prisoners were then secured and taken to the station . —Freeman , 178 C . said . —Onlthe previous evening , about five o ' clock , I commenced watching the house in Castle Street , and saw several of tbe defendants and others knock at the door .

      again immediately . —Police constable 6 O said—By the order of my superintendent Ieearched the ground floor of the house in Castle-street . In the back room I fonnd Howard sitting at tbe table , and Caldwell standing behind the door . I took them into custody , and conveyed them to the station . — Mr E , S . Edwin , solicitor , 85 , Lous Acre , and Mr Ballantine , the barrister , who appeared for the defendants , then addressed the magistrate at some length en behalf of their respective clients , contendin ? that sufficient proof had not been effered as to the house being a common gaming-house , and that their clients were entitled to their discharge . —Mr Bingham , after recapitulating the whole of the evi . dence adduced , said he was perfectly convinced that

      the house was a common gaming-house , and that the defendants were there for an unlawful purpese , As it had been proved that Havfc had acted as doorkeeper , lie ( Mr Bingham ) should convict him in the penalty of £ 100 , or , in default , to be imprisoned for six months . The others he fined 403 . each . —Mr Edwin Baid he should appeal against the sentence upon Hart at the sessions . THAMES . —Rivbb Thieves . —Thomas Johnson alias R'jbinson , with several other abases , and John Collins , better known along the river side by the cog . nomen' Jtcketty , ' were brought up as suspected person ' , charged with being found on the river Thames with intent to commit a felony , and also with assaulting and wounding Inspector FeH . of the River police .

      and Symons , one of his men . The prisoners , who are powerful young fellows , wlwa placed in the dock , though they had evidently Buffered considerable punishment . looked round with an air of defiance . Johnson ' s face was oovered with blood . —Inspeotor Fen stated that whilst on duty , on the south shore , near East Lane , he heard cries of ' Police ! ' He , and the two men ia his boat , instantly proceeded towards Downes ' s Upper Whatf , at Wapping , when a veiee cried out .

He seizsd the prisoner , Collins , wham he gave in charge to one of his men , whilst SjmonB , another constable , went in pursuit of his companion . Before a minnte

      elapsed the inspeotor heard Syraons cry out / Master , master , he ' s murdering me . He has some weapon , ' When the inspector got to the spot he saw SymoDB down , and the prisoner Johnson over him , paying him off about his head and b ) d y with a life preserver * The moment he saw the inspeotor he left Symons and struck witness about the head , inflicting eereral severe blows , whioh nearly rendered him inaenu . ble .

      GUILDHALL . —Imsa Paopebs . —( hero were no less thsn forty . nlno charges on Mondny , thlrty-eight consisting of Irish piuperi , for begging in tbe streets . The reason of so maay being taken up wag , the Importunity of the beggars i » every part of the City , mora particularly on the Sabbath , when they came from Se Giles ' s , White , cbapel , Moor Lane , and , to fact , ftom almost every Irish locality , to carry on their avocation . In consequence of the number tbat came , and the pltoh the system had arrived at , it at last induced the cemrolsiloner to issue an order dlreotiog all constables to take parties into custody found begging , If it was evident they were really destitute then they were to be taken to the work , home , but if known as impostors they were to be on . veyed before the magiitrates and dealt with accordingly . Oat of the whole batch yesterday , only two were dlaoharged , as they were going to Wales . The rest were sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from seven

      to fourteen days ; and one man , who found be could not suooeed in getting money from several gentlemea , commeaced trying their pockets , and for his paiai received two months . Tw » of the prisoners had just arrived In Louden , their fang ( 2 « . 61 ) by the steamer from Cork having been paid for them ia Ireland .

However , by the late aot , a stop will be put to this practice , as if tbay return a second time they oan be imprisoned as roguts and vagabonds ; and If « third time , they can either be whipped as incorrigible vagabonds , or be sent for trial to the sessions , where they will get six months .

I also own that the list of sub . acrlptlom is not a true one . The prisoner was remanded till Monday next .

      THE EDINBURGH CHARTIST TRIALS . H 0 RS WHIG BLUNDERS . —ABiSDONUEKT OPTHB FBOSXCUriON OF UB JAJIES CU 1 MIKG . Ewsbcbgh , Wkdkksday . —The High Court of Justiciary met to-day at tea o ' clock , ia order to proceed with the trial of James Camming , shoemaker . As toon as the judges had taken their teats en the bench , TbeLoBB At ) tocwk «» 9 , md Bald , that after due consideration , he had ooma to tha resolution to tbindon the cue against the prisoner , who was accordingly dtEmi&ed from the bar .

      It is understood that the Lord-Adt : caib wip redueed to the necessity of taking this course from the imperfect way in wfaish the case had been got np by some of the rffisiah . One of the principal diaries in taa indictment was , that Camnrine had taken the chair at a meeting held iu the Trades' Hall , Edinburgh , for the enrolling of a National Guard . it has now transpired that the Coaming who was ia the ohair ai this meeting , was not the prisoner , bnt a pear relative of his ; and the mistake of con * founding one with tho other , arote from the cirenmstance that the effichls had , by some singular oversight , omitted the important step of allowing the policemen to "djntify the prisoner . Seeing that , without this materiel point , it would be difficult to

      establish a case that would be sufficient to obtain a verdict against Che prisoner oa such an indictment , tha Lord Adrocate . with a wise'discretion . resolved to desert the diet altogether . This bangling mast have been rather disagreeable to his lordship , when it is considered that & severe legal discussion of two days * duration had previously been undergone by himodf and the otaer Grown counsel , in order to esta-Kah the relevancy of the indictment . The other ehiree against Camming was that he had written a letter io a tenon in Glasgow , which , by some mistake , had fallen into the hands of another party , gmng an account of the clubs in Edinburgh , the somber nf arms that they had got , and the warlike spirit which animated them .

      On Salniday last , the HJghCoartof Jash " oiary test for the purpose of passing sentence on Robert Hamilton and Henry Rankin , who , were found guilty on Tuesday last of' sedition in so far as they Ked words calculatedlfo promote populardisaffeotion , « nd resistance to lawful authority . ' The Judges present were the Lord Justice Clerk , and Lsrde Mackenzie , Medwyn , and Wood . _ Mr Moscrikff , for the prisoners , asked if the jury , za retorning their verdict , had not declared , on the question being put to them , that they had purposely left oat the word 'intended' in the verdict . The Lohd Justice Czebk replied in ins affirmative . The Lobd Advocate then moved the court for eentesee againBt the prisoners .

      Mr Logih , for the prisoners , opposed the motion in respect of tbe terms of the verdict , which he contended , did not amount to a verdict of guilty . The prisoners ware chsrged in the indictment with doing certain things which were 'intended aad calculated to excite popular disaffection , commotion and TiO fence , and resistance to Iawfal authority . ' The charge of ' intention' was therefore meant to override all the previous narrative in the indictment , but the jury had merely fonnd the prisoners guilty of ¦ edition in so far as they rued langnige' calculated ' toexcita dwsffection , < fej ., and they had purposely left the word 'intended * out of their verdict . He contended further that by the law of Scotland' intention * was the essence of the crime ofrseditionJand that tbe jury , by flu omissioa of that word , hsd arand a verdict , not for the Crown , bnt for the prinoers-Mr Miscrtxff followed on the same side .

      Mr Criwfokd . on the part of the Crown , contended that sedition was acrime well known to the law , and rae requiring no explanation , and that itcould never fie understood to mem an innocent or unintentional acu The verdict was , therefore , good , as a verdict SSJ ^ » , T ! f ? L _ " pp () rin S «» at Ue word ¦ ifl teafed had not been « the indictment at all , ndthat itsmply charged theo withdoing what was calculated to excite disaffection , &e ., still it would tave been a perfectly good indictment , and a verdict tf guilty founded npoa it would have been received . She learned gentleman supported his viewB of the ease by a variety of arguments and authorities . m Lord Abvocub followed oa the same side . To

      impeach successfully the verdict it was necessary for nis friends on the other aide to show that it was his duty tohaTo libelled 'intended , * as sametniuR different from •»!«<; ma meant by calculated ;* and also ftat it was his duty to have libelled specifically the intention . He had heard , however , no authority urged for this course . It wonld , indeed , be a strange vung , tf , after the prisoners had teen fouud guilty of sedition , any qualification with which the verdict was | accompanied Bhould have the absolute effect of nnUif ying it . Tfee jnry had used the word ' guilty ' —that was to say , that the prisoners had in their nind a seuitious intent , and therefore he held that they had fonnd all the criminal intent which , it was neceaaryfor them to infer .

      u . ^ T , * ° rts itoox ** Moscbuct in reply , their lordships retired to consider their judgment , aad reurned into court in about three-quarters of an hour , when the , LobdJumicb Cbsbk stated that they would eive : v their . decision on that day week . The Court then adjourned , and the prisoners were Best back to pruon .

      STATE OF TRADE . Makchiswb , Nev , 2 l , - Bujers have recently shewn , great willingness to operate at the quotations oflast w « ek . On such terms , orders of considerable extent have been offered . Both spinners and manufacturers , how . ever , have made an almost general demand for an advance upon those rates ; and this has had the effect of keeping the transactions under the amount to which it is evident they would otherwise have attained . Mer - chants look at tha cheeks to consempfon which must eome in to play with a rise of prices , and they naturally hesitate . Still a large and varied business has been done . Rochdalb , Nov 20 . — The flannel market continues brisk , and many pieces have baen sold at former prices . The wool market may be Baid to be a shade better there is a little more inquiry , and rather more sold , but little or no change of prices .

      H 0 DDBESFIELD , Nov . 2 I .-Trade continues very dulL both m the Cloth Hall and warehouses . More goods were shown to . day than for some weeks past , but the attend , anceof buyers was limited . The sales of wool , so far may be stated at an advance of Id to 'Jperlb . ; we have here a more steady demfttvd , at a Blight improvement in price . HALIFAX , Nov . 18 . —Very little business has been done today , either in plain or figured goods , and our Piece Uall has presented altogether a very blank appearance . In the warehouses the sale of goods is not mucli better than in the hall , and prices remain extremely low . Dcndsk . —For some time past our markets not having presented any new feature , we have not had occasion to report on them ; and they yet remain without changebusiness being still in alanguWiing state , and complaint ! of uoremunerating prices general .

      Teadb or thk PoTTERiBs .-This week is Martinmas , the potteries' new year . We wish we could say it opened with brightened prospects ; but we are unable to men . tlon any decided improvement of trade . The autumnal American orders have furninhed brisk empleyrnent fora ew firms , and some of the houses principally engaged in the home and' , continental tradeB show no symptoms of slackness . These , however , are but partial exceptions ; generally speaking , employment is scanty , andis likely to continue so through the winter . Some attempts have teen made to reduce wages , chiefly in the printers ' branch , and in a few instances the reduction has beea acquiesced in by the men .

The rate required to raise the necessary sum of £ 7 560 is 6 i per cent , on heritage and means and subitance , being the thud mode provided by the aot . Abou two-thirds of the schedules have already been returned by the ratepayers . From the above figures it would appear that the whole of the assessable vnonme in the burgh will not amount to more than £ 120 000 The population at last census , exclusive of the Ahhav

      parish , amounted to 32 229 individuals , so that the rateable income of the whole community does not amount to more than an average of £ 3 ! 5 i . on each individual of the population . Last week the plans for an addition to the Town ' s Ilospital were approved of by the board of supervision , and estimates for the completion ofthe building will be taken in immedutely . It is the utentien of this baard to give relief in prepared food to suoh of their ont-door poor as are suspected of misappropriating their allowances and also to supply the inmates of the hospital with Jk .
