At the More mentioned it appears that a ballast train was proceed ing at a slow pace on the up line. Soon afterwards a second (coal) train was approaching in the same direction, and the driver, seeing the danger, immediately turned off the steam of the engine to allow the first to advance. While the second traits was at • standstill a third "luggage" made its appearance and dashed with considerable violence into the one before it, completely throwing Revers' of the trucks on to the up passenger line. At this juncture, there having been no time to signal the danger, the passenger train from Birmingham came up sod a collision took place between that aired the shattered trucks lying across the line. The driver and stoker belonging to the passenger train escaped unhurt by jumping from their engine ; but Jacob Heine, the guard at the end of the train, was much shaken W ed injured, though enabled to proceed to his home. Walter Sharp, the guard in front of the train, escaped with slight braises. The moment the accident took place a tele gram was sent to London for assistance, and Mr. Meyers's, th e superintendent, and a sta f f of men from the locomotive I • department proceeded to the soene. The greatest alarm was felt • by the passengers, among whom only four cease of personal iojory are reported, and with the exception of one instance i —that of a lady travelling in a first-class compartment, who had most of her front teeth forced out—the injuries are not of a serious nature. Two gentlemen were taken to the Victoria Hotel, Euston-square, and remained there during the night. The other sufferer, a gentleman, wa s taken home ort his arrival in London. The delay caused by the collision to the down-train did not exceed more than an hour ; but some time elapsed ere the line was suffi ciently -dear to admit of the " up " traffic. in 17 04 8 6 bt 84 10111 10 4 211 1018 1024 101 102 --7--.--.--;-11P414,1.plioes._ I S es.

It is • paper which appears to have excited the envy of some indi viditals, who, under the shelter of 'non moue letteis, are redeavouring to cast ridicule upon it. These letters con isted of applications for the payment of advertisement asertions at ridiculously low charges, and also for peed eslars of the lives of members of the profession to whom tbsy were addressed, promising that on their being forwarded favourable notices would be given. In ems cases the approaching manage of ladies tad gentlemen well known in dramatic circles were announced, the statements being not only fic titious, but grotesquely improbable.
