Bak « wav Acciukstt * . —An action to recover compensation for injuries received on the Great Northern Railway , has been tried at the York Assizes , the plaintiff * being Mr . Hall , the Recorder of Doncaater . Owing-, as it w * s alleged , to the imperfect action of a pair of selfaottDg " facing points , " used in transferring the train frprn one- line to another , the carriages ran off the line , and-that in which Mr . Hall was sitting broke down the parapet of a viaduct , and fell from a height of twenty-OTven feet . Mr . Hall was frightfully injured in almost every part of his body , and has lost a year's practice , hfff frlaq being put to very great expense for medical advice . It was contended that points such as were employed on this occasion are highly dangerous , as , without the constant guidance of a man , they may be prevented from , closing by the presence of a cinder or a
small atone ; and one of the witnesses fur the defence admitted that he had written a letter to the papers , mentioning such a circumstance as the only conceivable cause of the accident . The train , moreover , was propeBad from behind by an engine which was there placed ; and . this was also objected to as extremely perilous . After some deliberation , the jury returned a verdict fur Mr . Hull—damages , 4500 A TttE LaXCASTEK SlIOT MaHUFACTORT AT WoOLWIOM . —A report of Major General Harding to the Board of Ordnance condemns the workmanship and materials of toe Lancaster shell-foundry erected at the Woolwich ArsenuL Messrs .

Leader Office, Saturday, July 28. House ...
Leader Office , Saturday , July 28 . HOUSE OF LORDS . No business of any interest or importance occurred in their ltfrdshipa' House , the proceedings being chiefly confined to passing several bills a stage .
House Of Commons. The Tinkisii Loan*. Th...
HOUSE OF COMMONS . THE TinKISII LOAN * . Thk House had a morning sitting , and went into committee on the Turkish Loan . Mr . Gladstone renewed his objections to the bill , contending that the joint and . several liabilities between Franco and England did not carry with it equal rights . Ho admitted , however , that , notwithstanding all its objectionable features , it was better to accept the measure rather than run the 'risk of the consequences , which would follow its rejection . Lord PALMKitsTux said he had not expected a renewal of the discussion at that stag . " of the bill , and it was arranged that it should be received in the morning .
LIMITED LIABILITY . The discussion in committee on this bill va . s renewed , and tlie tirst clause taken , The result was that the provision relating to limitation of capital was omitted from the clause , and 10 / . shares wore substituted for 2 . V shares . OIII > KU OF aCEKIT . In auRwor to Lord Klcho , Lord Palmicukton suid it was intended as early as possible to issue a decoration as an Order of Merit ; Home delaj' had taken place , but it would soon bo issued .
. lu answer to Mr . V . Sci . xly , Lord I ' almkicston said that it bad been considered by the Government whether a regiment of Irish Guards should 1 m 5 established ; and while duly appreciating the Hen-ices of the Irish in tho army and nnvy , they yet thought it not desirable to extend tho number of privileged corps in tho army . 1 > KC 1 MAL COINAOK . A discussion arose with regard to the ConiniiHsioners to inijuire into the question of Decimal Coinage , in the course of which the Chanckllob . of the Exchequer and Mr . <} i . ai > htonk vindicaUnl tho impartiality of tho CiMinni ^ sioiiern , and denied that any of them had formed ojiiuiona on the aubjoot . OHAur . voiu . In rep ly U > Sir J . "Walsh , Lor . l r « u . u . iU &» TOM said
that Omar Pasha had gone to Constantinople for the purpose of making arrangements respecting some military equipments , but he had no intention of resigning his command .
THE TUBKI 3 H LOAN . Mr . Walpole renewed the discussion on this question , stating that the translation of the treaty was defective , as in the original there was no word corresponding with the term " several" in the English version . The Chancellob of the Exchequer ' explained aWay the inaccuracy , and proceeded to reply to Mr . Gladstone , and urged that the principle of the guarantee was even preferable to any loan which had been negotiated since the last war ; he denied that there was any difference between the rights and liabilities of the two nations who had entered into the guarantee .
Mr . Gladstone declared that his questions had not been answered , urging that the British Government was liable in the first instance to the creditors under the Loan , and they had no remedy either against France or Turkey . He strenuously protested against the right of Government to enter into such a treaty before obtaining the sanction of Parliament . The Lord Advocate declared the joint and several liabilities of the two powers to be complete , and capable of being enforced . Mr . M . Gibson denounced the attempt on the part of the Executive Government to make treaties involving the taxation of the people without the previous consent of Parliament , The debate then became general and desultory , embracing Mr . Wil « . in * o > i , the Soucitob-Gekeral , Mt-Hexi £ V , Mr- J . McGkegob , and other members . Mr . Di / Skakli denied the assertion that the refusal of
the House to sanction the convention would have endangered our alliance with France , and asserted the right of Parliament to review treaties of this nature , and mentioned the fact that in 1852 an arrangement come to between the Government of this country and France vras . put an end to Tvithout causing any disturbance in the amicable relations of the two countries . He should now and always oppose propositions of this kind , which were only subsidies in disguise . Mr . La bo cohere supported , and Mr . Caedwell opposed the treaty . Mr . Gladstone having again spoken , Lord Palmehstox closed the debate in . a very brief speech . The clauses were proceeded
witb-Hr . M . Gibsok moved as an amendment in one of them that a return of the payments made by Turkey should be punctually published . It was opposed by the Government , and * a division took place . The numbers were—For the amendment , 36 ; against it , 12-4 ; majority against it , 88 . The bill then passed through committee . The other orders were then disposed of .
