ACCIDENT ON HIF GKKAT WKSTEBN RAILWAY.— Considerable anxiety and alarm prevailed in this city on Friday evening, in consequence of the detention of the two o'clock down-train from London, theipassengars by which did not reach this city till nine o'clock." The delay was occasioned by an accident on the line between Twerton and Salt'ord, the fbilowing particu- lars of which have been given to U8 by the company's assistant superintendent, Mr. Martin. A carriage by one of the up timber trains (one of which is despatched every other day), ran off the up rail, in consequence of one of the wheels giving way, and rolled on to the down line. Almost at the same moment the down two o'clock train, drawn by the Maieppa engine, came along at its usual pace, and before there was time to get the drags properly on, ran into the timber carriages. The engine was thrown oil', and a second-class carriage damaged, but none of the other carriages were overturned or injured. The 6toker of the engine.was thrBwn off, and had his shoulder dislocated; and one gentleman, a passenger, received a slight cut over his eye but beyond a shaking, and the alarm which such an occurrence would naturally jvjve rise to, no injury, we are assured, was experienced by any of the passengers. On intelligence of the accident reaching this city, Mr. Martin took up a special train of carriages, and brought down the passenger*, who arrived at the hour above named. The five o'clock train, which should reach here at forty five minutes past nine, was delayed till a quarter past eleven o'clock. Considerable, and as we think, very just dis- satisfaction was ex pressed by many passengers, who had to proceed from the Bristol terminus westward, being detained here two or three hours. We know thu Bristol and Exeter is leased to the Great Western, but we were not aware there was that" close and intimate incorporation that one should be so dependent on the other. Is the "plant kept up on so niggardly a scale, that not a single engine nor a single train could be sent on from Bristol to Exeter whilst the other was being put to rights?—Bristol Gat<t«.—[A professional gentle- man of this county had a narrow escape from very serious in. jury by the above accident. It was reported that hia leg was broken, but we arc happy to say such is not the CASF.—ED. M.] J

HOUSE OF COMMONS. I THURSDAY, JULY 17. The Highway Rates Bill, the Militia Ballots Suspension Bill, the Loan Societies Bill, the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill, and the Uulawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill were read a third time and passed.„ The Common Inclosure Bill was read a third time, and a clause added to it providing remuneration to the poor for manure and growing crops. On the passing of the bill, Mr. Sharman Crawford divide, the house. There were, for the passing of the bill, 48 against it, 0; majority, 48. The Drainage of Lands Bill passed through committee with some verbal amendments. The Lunatic Asylums and Pauper Lunatics Bill was read a third time and passed, after the 6th clause, which exempted the parishes of Marylebone, St. Pancras, and St. George's, from the operation of the bill, had been withdrawn. The Fisheries (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. In answer to a question, Sir R Peel stated that there was no probability of the Landlord and Tenants (Ireland) Bill pass- ing this session; and that the government purposed to prepare a measure during the recess with a like intent. The second reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill was moved by Sir R. Peel, who, having stated the object of the bill to be to remove all impediments, of whatever kind, which stand in the way of the admission of Jews to municipal and magisterial offices, and places of trust and emolument connected with mu- nicipal corporations, eipressed his great gratification at having the honour of proposing it. Sir R. Inglis moved as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. Plumptre seconded the amendment. Lord J. Russell supported the bill, which he considered a step towards further measures, by which Jews would be admitted to all offices of state in this country. Mr. Trelawney and Mr. M. Milnes spoke in favour of the bill. On a division, there were, for the second reading, 91; against it, 11; majority for the second reading, 80. The house then went into committee on the Poor Law Amend- ment (Scotlanà) Bill, and agreed to the remaining clausca. Sir J. Graham moved the second reading of the Bills of Ex- change, &e. Bill. Mr. M. Gibson proposed the omission of that proviso in the bill which restricts the operation of the Act from transactions where real property constitutes the security. Sir R. Peel said that the relaxation of the usury laws in com- mercial transactions had been proved by experience to be most beneficial; and he had a strong opinion that the same result would follow t) ih3 landed interest should the usury laws be relaxed in like manner in respect to real property. He knew, however, that many apprehensions existed on the subject,which sho.uld not.be ^pnquered.by foree;aiid hasty laws. He contem- plated the>appointmeht of a committee to inquire into the work- ing of the relaxed usury laws on commercial transactions, and to consider the propriety of placing loans and forbearances on landed securities on the same footing, with regard to interest, as bills of exchange. The bill, which continues the existing act for five years longer, was read a third time and passed. The Jurors Books (Ireland) Bill, and the Taxing Masters Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill were read a second time. The Grand Jury Presentment (Dublin) Bill, and the Excise Duties on Spirits (Channel Islands) Bill passed through com- mittee. The Geological Survey Bill, the Unclaimed Stock and Divi- de nds Bill, and the Criminal Jurisdiction Assistant Barristers (Ireland) liill were read a third time and passed.—Adjourned. FRIDAY, JULY 18 Ecclesiastical Patronage (Ireland) Bill was read a third ti —' The Jurors Book (Ireland) Bill, the Highways Bill, and the Valuation (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. i )n the motion of the Solicitor Generitl, the Small Debts Bill was committed "pro forma," for the purpose of having several cliiuses added to it, and amendments made in it. SiT J. Graham, in reply to a question from Mr. T. Duncombe, and in reference to a late case which' had occurred in Stafford- shire, stated that he had written to the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, inclosing Mr. Rogers's report; and that he had-pointed out to the Lord-Lieutenant the reprohensibility of 'the practice of handcuffing and chaining prisoners committed on light charges, and the necessity of directing the magistrates to change the practice, which he regretted to say prevailed about Wolver- hampton. In reply to the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, the Home Secre- tary stated that the government intended to amend the Chari- table Bequests (Ireland) Bill.. In one point the Act had ope- rated differently from what the government had intended. Government had not intended that what were termed the regu- lar clergy should be affected one way or the other by the Act; but he feared that in its working it had placed them in a worse position than before. t Mr. E. Denison called attention to the mode of sale of church property adopted by the Irish ecclesiastical commissioners, and to the disposition made of the funds so acquired. He com- plained that by their conversion of leases into freehold, at the low rate of three years' purchase, a very large sum had been needlessly sacrificed, and that the sum actually obtained had been expended in annual charges and outgoings. Sir J. Graham said he could not concur with the honourable gentleman that the conversions had been made in a wasteful or extravagant manner, but he did concur with him that the commissioners had pursued a very imprudent course in em- ploying the capital of this property for the annual expenses of the commission. The Shve Trade (Brazil) Treaty Bill was read a second time. The Joint Stock Companies Bill, the Municipal Districts (Ire- land) Bill, the Land Revenues Act Amendment Bill. the Jewish Disabilities Removal Bill, the Drainage (Ireland) Bill, and the Merchant Seaman Bill were read a third time and passed. Adjourned. MONDAY, JULY 21. In reply to a question from Mr. Hawes, Sir Robert Peel stated that shortly after the presentation of the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the allegations of the SoutiuIiMtera Railway Company, Mr. Jioaham and Captain Boldero had signified to him their wish to tender their roaicna- tion of their several offices, and that it had been his painful duty to advise her Majesty to accept their resignation. With respect to Mr. Wray, Sir J. Graham had addressed a commu- nication to that gentleman, seriously animadverting upon his proceedings; and with respect to Mr. Hignet, the Master-Ge- neral of the Ordnance had dismissed him from his situation as solicitor to that board. Captain Boldero made a statement to the house, in which he contended that the committee, on the evidence before it, had given an entire exculpation both of Mr. Bonham and of himself. He then entered into an explanation of his motives in holding and selling his shares. He bowed to the decision of the com- mittee, and, though he complained of the extreme severity of one paragraph in its report, did not intend to reflect on any member of it. A long debate took place on the following resolution submit- ted by Mr. Buller :—" That this house regards with regret and apprehension the state of affairs in New Zealand; and that these feelings are greatly aggravated by the want of any suf- ficient evidence of a change in the policy which has led to such disastrous results."—The debate was adjourned. The Jewish Disabilities Bill and Heaviside's Divorce Bill, were each read a third time and passed.—Adjourned at two o'clock. TUESDAY, JULY 22. Mr Hume again brought forward the case of the Rajah of Sattara, and moved for an Address to the Queen, praying her Majesty to direct inquiry into the alleged charges against Per- taub Shean, late Rajah of Sattara, and whether he has been furnished with a copy of the charges and evidence against him on which he was deposed from his Raja, and now lives an exile and state prisoner at Benares. SMr. Emerson Tennent opposed the motion, on the'grounds at the case of the Rajah of Sattara had been decided by all the competent legal tribunals, and had been also reviewed by three successive governments of Bombay, by three successive governments of India, and by three successive Boards of Con- trol—all of which concurred in the justice accorded to him. Mr. Williams, Mr. Hogg, Sir E. Colebrook, Mr. Wakley, and Mr. B. Baring, took part in the discussion that followed. The motion was negatived without a division. Mr. Hawes withdrew, for this session, his motion touching the Danish claims. Mr. Ewart submitted his motion for going into committee to consider the propriety of abolishing the duties on butter and cheese. The Chancellor of the Exchequer protested against being called on to sacrifice £320,000, when the whole anticipated sur- plus of the current year was only f 120,000. He thought the government had been liberal enough in reducing taxation this year, and at all events could not entertain the question before next Budget day. Sir R. Peel resisted the motion on financial grounds only. He anticipated the most favourable results from the remissions which he had made in the sugar, auction, and other duties, this year, and would not discuss the propriety of removing any other restrictions on trade until next year. After a short debate, in which Mr. Gibson, Mr. Tollemache, Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Cobden, Mr. T. Egerton, and other hon. members, took part, the house divided— For the motion, 38 Against it" 136 Majority, —98 The Lord Advocate obtained leave to introduce a bill to alter and amend the law and practice in Scotland as to the Service of Heirs; and a bill to alter and amend the practice in Scotland with regard to Crown Charters and Precepts from Chancery. The Documentary Evidence Bill was read a second time. The Real Property Bill. the Assignment of Leases Bill, and the Granting of Leases Bill, were severally read a second time. The Fees (Criminal Courts) Bill was read a second time. The Unions (Ireland) Bill was committed, the Jurors Books (Ireland) Bill was recommitted with amendments, and passed, and the Taxing Master Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill was reported. The Attorney-General obtained leave to bring in a bill for the amendment of the law of real property. The house adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock. WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, On the motion that the report on the Smoke Prohibition Bill he brought up, several hon. members expressed their disappro- bation of the measure, and at length, at the suggestion of Lord John Russell, the bill was withdrawn hy Mr. Mackinnon, the hon. mf'mber having previously obtained from SirJ. Graham an assurance that the subject should undergo scientific inquiry. The Small Debes Bill passed through committee. Mr. Spooner moved the third reading of the Duddeston and Nechells Improvement Bill. The motion, which WIIS opposed by Mr. Muntz, was carried on a division, the numbers being—for the bill, 78 against it, 52. Mr. B. Denison moved that the London and York Railway Bill should be divided into two bills. Mr. Miles seconded the motion. Mr. Ward considered it unfair that the motion honld be made without notice, and on the suggestion of Mr. Brotherton it was postponed until to-morrow. Mr. F. Fremch rose, and, in allusion to what had taken place n reference to a speech of his delivered in that house on Mon- day, the accuracy of which, in the l imes, had been impugned, declared that he had tittered every word that had appeared in that report. Some further important business was transacted, and the house adjourned.

MONMOUTH AND HEREFORD RAILWAY. The Monmouth and Hereford Railway Bill was altered in committee of the House of Commons, so as that the ttnos to terminate at Westbury-on-Sevein. instead of being carried ovei the river at Fiamilode. The following is the official notification of the select committee to the house:— That the bill, as referred 10 the committee, contemplated the formation of a line connecting the cities of Hereford and Mon- mouth with the Cheltenham and Great Western Railway at Standi*h but in consequence of objections entertained hy the admiialty to the proposed mode of crossing the liver Severn, tbe committee have only sanctioned the formation of a line between Hereford and Monmouth and to the Forest of Dean and a place called \V est!>ury, w heie it will unite with a projected railway called the Gloucester and Forest cf Deau Railway, the purpose of which has been defeated in the present session by reason of non-compliance with tne standing orders; and the committee amended the preamble of the bill accordingly." MR. BRUNFL'S EVIDENCE. Isambard Kingdom Brunei, Esq., exam ned hy Mr. Talbot. The line, as now embodied in the preamble, may be described as a main line, may it not, from Heief'ord to Monmouth, by way of Ross, and by a branch to the Forest of Dean, and a branch also to \Vestbury1-Yes. This is the total in the direction proceeding from Ross, as near as may be. in a direct couise towards Gloucester ?—In that di- rection which the railway guingto Gloucester would take. To direct your attention at once to the leading point—Do fa- cilities exist for extension of what we may now call the branch to Weslbury, as a main line to Gloucester?—Yes. What is the distance from Wes-tbnry to Gloucester1-Tc the station at Gloucester, it will be, I think, about eight miles. You are aware ot that project which was in Parliament this session, and which the dincusjion of thestanding orders put an end to-How near does your proposed. terminus at Westbury approach that line,!—Within a few hundred chains. I should observe that that line crosses our proposed Monmouth and Here- ford line in thefaritih of Westbury, but ciossed it very nearly at right angles. I, therefore, propose to stop, anlj to cut off the Monmou'h and Hereford at a point a few hundred yards north of that p oposed crossing, so that it would join, by an easy curve, the projected Gloucester and Forest of Dean Railway. Th's is the course following by Ross by the proposed Hereford and Monmouth Railway, to that part in Westbury that runs by the Forest of Dean ^nd Gloucester Railway to Gloucester; that is the course which nas generally been tbe proposed one for a Monmouth and Gloucester Railway. Do you know that aiiangements have been made by the pro- moters of the present bill with the promoters of the now rejected, but to be tesuscitated.line from Gloucester to the Forest of Dean, for the purpose ot amalgamation with the Gloucester and Dean Forest—Ves. Are there any difficulties in the country there travelled which would pievent your so doing] No, their line is nearly ,level with ours at the point of crossing. Is the work of so light a chatacter as to admit of its being completed simultaneously with the Hereford and Monmouth, thoush the powers should not be obtained till next year?—Yes there would be about a year's difference in the making of the two.— [ I his auswer seems to us tu mean that though the (ilt u- ct'sler and Forest of Dean branch may not be commenced hit twelve months after the Monmcuth and Hereford line, yet both could be completed simultaneously.) What is the total mileage of the line as now proposed ?— Thirty-two miles and a fraction, exclusive of the Foiest of Dean Brunch from Monmouth to Hereford is twcty-two miles, about; and what is now called the branch from it to Westbury, is rather more Ihan twenty miles. And the bit ot the Forest of Dean? —That is four miles and v.enty-eigItt chains ? The terminus in the Forest of Dean reaches the commence- ment of ihe Forest of Dean Hadway.-Ye3. You unite with thai ? Yes. When that junction is made. can you effect an opening of the mineral field < f the Forest of Dean to Ross and Hereford ? Yell; it would bung a large part of the coal field of the Forest of Dean into communicatioh with Ross and Hereford and Mon- mouth. All :h< se place", with Gloucester, are supplied with coal, fiom the Forest of Dean, to a great extent ?—Yes. What is the cost of the line which you havejuit described ?— £550.000. Js it a line presenting serious engineering difficulties, or what is the characer of thefline ?—A ^reat part IS a rough country. involving sevu.il turned. Will re are ihe tunnels ?—They are scattered over the line -be- twi'eri Hereford and Monmouth. It is a rouijish country, is it not?—Yes; most of the tunnels will, I think, be thtough an easily-worked material—ledsand- s one. W hat is the length of your longest tunnel 1-1432 yaids. Mr. Talbot: One tunnel is 121 yards ?—Yes, and thtdongesl is 1432 yards. What is the sectional area of these tunnels?—28 feet by 25 What gradient do you obtain upon the line 1-The steepest graditnt is 1 in 81 on the main line. Is that to any considerable extent?—Yes, that is two mJes and 5i < hains. With that exception, what are the gradients?— Moderate I I cannot give any other definition of it; they are moderate. Committee That is the steepest ?—Yes- What is the smallest radius of a curve?—They would be steep gradients as compared with the gradients on the South Wales line, but they are good, considering the roughness of the country; the smallest radius of a curve is 18 chains. Is that close to the Ross station ?—Yes. And not obj, ationable in that position, at all events?—No, I think not. Is it proposed to cross any highway on a level ?—There are a few I have not got a list of them. They are mentioned in a clause in the bill, are they not?— Yet:, they are. What clause is that?—The 2nd. There is one in the paiish of Longhope, numbered 68 one in the parish of Dixton. num- bered 45; i.1 the parish of Walford, numbertd 61. and 75; and in the parish of Holme Lacey, numbered 22. The only reason for crossing them in that way is, that from the comparauvelevels of the country and the railway there, it will be an inconvenience rising or lowering the road to send them over or under. By the Committee: Tlieie are four altogether?—There is ano- ther. By Mr. Talbot;—There is one in East Dean is there not?— In the parish of Weston under-Penyard, and East Dean, 39a., that is on the branch. Will thepilblic convenience be best consulted from the posi- tion of those ruads, by crossing them in the mode you propose ? —I consider so that was the only reason for carrying them in that way. J Is there any plane to be worked by assistant engines?—No. j I would mention to the commit'ee that the line would be con- nected at Monmouth with the Monmouth, and, perhaps, part ot the South Wales railway and, therefore, form acommunicatio). between Hereford, Ross, and Monmouth, with South Wales and also bringing lip Monmouth, Usk, IInd Heielord towards Gloucester; that was the object of the railway in laying out f\ inconsequence of the difficulty of crossing the Severn, the ar- rangement was made for connecting it with the G1 cester and Forest of Dean branch to carry it to Gloucester; that was un- fortunately thrown out on standing orders. By th* Committee: Do you consider coat a desirable traffic on railwa'ys in general ?—We seek to get as much ooal as we can on all railroads. Is it a desirable species of traffic?—Yes there is nothing in coal itself that is undesirable theie might be circumstances con- nected with its coming on at awkward places that might render it more or less desirable, but as a traffic, it is a very good on*; dl the great railways cany great quantities of coal. "*■— i By Mr. Talbot- Will you give me the length of the several tunnels?—121, 1320, 715, 462, 726,1432,407, 275, yards, and the coal branch. Fir< What is the estimated cost of the working expenses of tht! su line ?-4'J per cent. of the gtoss receipts. m By the Committee Looking at this iioe from the point wherei your Forest of Dean Hailway'joins the railway coming froraf P. Monnoutn and Hereford, is it your opinion that, starting fromL^, that point, the be>t line lo get toGloucesrer would bu by West-i~ bury ?—Y es, it is that is the line which has always been laid_ out as the Ross and Gloucester line. Have you examined the country rather to the north of that? —Yes, The whole of that country I have had sections of some years ago, and again lately. Is it a more difficult country than the line you propose to pass: through? — Yes. There IS another summit as may be seen by S reference to the ordnance map, between the Longhope valley ? to Gloucester, aud this line is not taken because it is part of the*, Standish and Gloucester lint, and goes to Gloucester, but it is really the line which would be projected for a Ross and Glouces,-1, Standish and Gloucester lint, and goes to Gloucester, but it is really the line which would be projected for a Ross and Glouces,-1, ter line. 1 1 he witness withdrew. j, F

OPINION'S OF THE SHOW.—It seems to be generally admitted that the show of cattle was not so large, and some think it not, on the whole, so good in quality, as on some former occasions. On the other hand, it is the declared opinion of a nobleman, who is one of the most eminent agriculturists in the country, that there was more real merit and.fewer bad cattle in this than in any former exhibition. There was, we believe, less division of opinion with respect to the short horns than the others, these being generally esteemed as very good, The show of Herefords was highly creditable. The number was 71, and the quality generally excellent. Mr. Thomas Sheriff, of Coxall; Mr. E Gough. near Shrewsbury; Mr. E.jJJrwick, near Ludlow Mr" J. N. Carpenter, near Leominster; Mr. Thomas LochleyMeire* near Shrewsbury and Mr. J. Thomas, near Leominster, were the successful exhibitors. The show of Devons, as perhaps might have been expected from the great distance from that county, was very small, being limited to ten animals. The prizes were consequently obtained with little or no competition. The total absence of Welsh cattle at an exhibition so near to a es was much commented upon, and was the more remarkable- because the exhibition appears to have excited much interact there, asw^s ^marufes^ed by the presence of a great numbSt of gentiemen from all pAts of ttte Principality. We suspect tfte real reason to be want of pecuniary, mvans- the dej^^na year or two ago m all kinds of agricult„ral produce havi^f^rf £ with peculiar severity upon the poor Welsh farmers.—The show of sheep was ot an average kind, and opinions were much divided as to the relative merit, of the Southdowns and Leices- ters. Where practical agriculturists so much differed, we shall not attempt to decide, but content ourselves with saying that v.e have seen better shows of both .—Among the extra stock of horses was a grey Arabian cross pony, belonging to the Rev. R. T. Forester, near Droitwich v,mch was a perfect curiosity. It was so small and so exquisiteiy modelled, especially about the head, that had it but the horn, we should have thought it had just descended from a position in which alone we have seen its likeness, and that the twin supporter with the lion of the royal arms, was indeed a veritable animal. To-day the general meeting of the members was held at the Town-hall, when votes of thanks to the mayor and to other in- dividuals were agreed to. Other business was transacted, and Lord Portman was duly installed as president A meeting of the implement makers was held at the Raven and Bell inn, and it was resolved to form an association for the protection of their interests. The money taken altogether at the show; was about £1,600. Persons admitted, about 17,000. The council put on 26 coaches and omnibuses, and 60 horses, to convey passengers from Wol- verhampton. It deserves to be mentioned that a very handsome jug, of large size, has been presented to the Royal Agricultural Society, by the Coalport China Company, in Shropshire, composed of the Coalport feldspar porcelain. Afine oil painting, containing 120 full-length figures, every one of which is a portrait taken from life, is now on exhibition at the town-hall. It represents the members of the society inspecting the agricultural implements for trial. It is the work of a young artist, Mr. Ansdell, who evinces promise of future fame. The next meeting of the society takes place m the far north" at Newcastle. Mr. J. Doubleday, has completed his labours upon the Portv land vase, and the undertaking has been accomplished in so masterly a manner, that it is said to be impossible to discover where the vase was irjured. n -i HEREFORDSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES.—The Commission FOR the county will be opened'on Tuesday next, before Lord Den- man and Mr. Justice Patteson.
