DECEMBER 12, 1844, The LEAGUE, whose death the monopolist journal* had announced with great joy and exultation, re appeared, in more than its pristine vigour, at Covent garden Theatre last evening. COBDEN, and WILSON, and VILLIeRS, and Brawn', are all alive, and, as the farmers' friends will find to their cost, kicking too. There is no appearance of mortality about them, or the army that supports them. Tt e house was crowded to excess—not with females who, at Exeter Hall and soma other place 4, are mustered to make a show— but wall men evdEntly intent on a purpose, intent to destroy every incubus on trade, and deprive the land owners of a tax raised on the rest of the community, which, as regards its oppression, and especial l ? the mode of levying it, has nothing like it in the Sta •tute-book. It stands alo:ie. To no other tax but the landlords' tax is the sliding-scale applied. When our misguided Con temporaries pronounced the League defunct, they mistook silence for death, and seemed more ignorant than cur Gallic neighbours, who coul.l always judge of the terrible onset which wits to follow the death-like silense of the brave! If the enemies of the corn-laws have been quiet, they have not been idle. They have been arranging plans for a new campaign, collecting statistical details of registrations and elections which will make an impression in higher quarters than Stowe or Goodwood, and realise in right earnest the memorable saying of Sir R. PEET, that the battle of the Con,titution is to be fought in the registration courts. On this subject the speech of Mr. Wir.soN is replete with important facts —facts as cheering for the present, as pregnant with promise for the future. Already ninety-eight boroughs, out of one hundred and eight, have been shaken to their foundations, and the Monopolis* are quaking in the terrors of corrup tion; and should a general election take place to morrow, thirty-two seats which now support the cord-laws would he changed into free traders, a difference of sixty-four votes ! This is a fair be ginning, and time and perseverance will work the rest. As with the boroughs, so will it he with the coun ties—the strongholds of the landlords. What the CUANDOS clause has done to fortify the aristocracy ill their domination over the counties, the forty-shihin4 freehold will speedily neutralise, and eventually destroy. The Monopolists have presumed so long co the patience of the people, that they fanciol the: might go on for ever. But the exertions of the League will soon convince them cf their error. As Mr. Vii.LPtuts truly observed, they will - find that the "enormous wrong" of the corn-laws has at length roused the country not only to think, but to act too. Endurance has had its limit, and nowoppression mus t give place to j us ti ce . The voice of reason ha i gone forth, and finds a ready ec h o . i n every unprejudiced mind is the true secret of the suv+ce-s of the League • and it is theiEconvicti on o f tha t truth which makes' the Monopolists tremble. We will not discuss the merits of the several speeches here—to be fully appreciated, they must e read. We never heard more soul- sti rr i ng eloquence, and the vast assemblage seemed to feel its I force by their mute attention for the moment—and TEE StJN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12 1344. their simultaneous bursts of hearty f nthusiasm when the chord of feeling was touched. It was altogether a scene to be witnessed—not described. Sir ROBERT PEEL will do wisely to take heed in time. Such meetings as that of last evening must eventually carry the purpose for which they assemble — that purpose being, not for the advantage of a class, but for the general good. How much better, then, would it be for him to yield, while conces sion were grace, rather than be com pelled to grant that emancipation to commerce which he formerly did to conscience 1 The very tendency of his acts points to free trade—why then does he hesitate—when a prompt avowal would so much redound to his own fame, and conduce to the permanent prosperity of the country ? A meeting of the Association for Promoting the Health of Towns was held yesterday in Exeter Hall. At this meeting men of all parties were present, ' Whigs, Tories, and Radicals ; and Sir R. INous and - Mr. SHELL, though wide as the poles asunder on most public questions, yet vied with each other in the heartiness with which they supported the impor tant objects which the Association has at heart. But indeed there was not an individual present who did not speak as if his heart were in the cause which he was advocating ; and we do hope and believe that this Exeter Bali meeting—far different in its tone from the falsely-styled religious ones so often held there !—will prove the commencement of a spirited and comprehensive practical movement for improving the condition of the humbler classes of society, that will at no remote period effect quite a revolutionary change in the thoughts, habits, and feelings of the classes in question. At present there is no gainsay ing the fact that vast masses of them are in the very lowest state of physical and moral degradation, and this abject state has for the last ten years and upwards been slowly and surely on the increase. While the commercial resources of the country have been more and more developed, and the comforts and luxuries of the upper and middle orders have been multiplied in proportion, no improvement has reached the lower classes, who have been left to carry on, from day to day, the painful and difficult struggle fur the bare necessaries of existence, with scarcely any aid from those who should have been their friends and guardians, and have devoted a portion of their own superfluous means to better their condition. The last returns of the Income-tax show a prodigious in crease in the pecuniary resources of the middle classes, but the published reports of the destitute state of the poor too plainly demonstrate that they have in no re spect been bettered thereby. Even the crumbs that fall from Divas' table have not yet fallen to the share of LAZARUS, But, thank Heaven, society seems at length to be roused to a full consciousness of the evils with which it is beset. A kindlier and more generous tone of feeling than has ever yet been exhibited towards the poor is now springing up in the hearts of their superiors in station; and the latter will benefit not less than the former by this improved state of feeling. The allotment system—the proposals for public walks and parks, and public bathing-houses, together with many other projected remedial measures that do not just now occur to us—all these are signs and tokens un equivocally that an excellent spirit is at work in the right direction. But, though individuals may do much, when formed into institutions and associations, towards ameliorating the condition of the destitute poor, yet the evil cannot be fully remedied with out the powerful aid of the Legislature. Govern ment must come promptly forward and testify by its acts that the humble operative and labourer are as much the objects of its - friendly and provident consideration as the wealthy manufacturer or the aristocratic landowner. One of its first efforts should be directed to furnishing the poor with the means of obtaining a cheap, rational, practical education, such as may in some degree—as education always does— compensate them for the want of fortune and con nexion, and enable them, by conduct and industry, to elevate themselves in the social scale. This will be at once laying the axe to the root of the evil, for nearly one-half the sufferings which the labouring poor experience —their uniform poverty, their pe riodically recurring seasons of absolute destitu tion, their dirt, their immorality, and the want of self-respect that too often marks their character ; all these evils may be traced to their exceeding ignorance, which prevails among them to an extent that no one would believe who had not read the recently published Parliamentary Re ports on the subject. From the speeches lately mar by Lord WHARNCLIFFE at Leeds and elsewhere, vie infer that Government will take an early opportunity, next session, of turning its attention to this important question of national education,which can no longer be postponed with safety to the interests of the community. Madrid journals of the 4th instant, announce that the discussion on the Reform Bill had closed, and the Bill passed by a majority of 124 to 46. The follow ing are the other Bills to be introduced during the present session :—A Bill for the maintenance of the clergy and public worship. Another respecting the support of nuns. A third respecting church property, which proposes that all which formerly belonged to the Church, and which remains unsold, shall be re stored to the Church. The sales:already made are not to be disturbed. A fourth Bill is for the con version of the Floating debt, contracts,i&c., into Three per Cent stock. Nothing certain was known respecting the retreat of ZURBANO. He was said, according to some reports, to be within a few leagues of the Portuguese frontier, and, according to others, concealed in Madrid. A letter from Herce, of the 28th ult., gives the follow ing particulars of the return of his wife and daughter in-law, from their fruitless visit to Madrid : "Yesterday, at seven in the evening, the wife of Zur bano and the wife of her son Benito entered the olive grove near Armedillo. They were accompanied by a riest. The wife of Zurbano was on foot, and her daughter-in-law, who is in tke last month of her preg nancy, was on an sts. During the preceding two nights, which had been dreadfully cold, these poor women crossed the mountains. The Alcalde of Armedillo, being ►nformed that the ladies desired to speak to him, went immediately to the grove, and being informed by them that they were anxious to proceed as rapidly as possible to Logrono, he hastened to place at their disposal two of the best mules of the town, and at the same time pro vided them with everything necessary. He also sent some of the inhabitants armed to protect them. At the little village of St. Vincent they were no longer able to bear up against the cold, and took shelter in a house, where a good fire was made for them, and refreshments ware I.rovidal, but they were in such a state of ex hausti,n that they could not partake of them. On the following day they arrived at Logrono. The wife of Don Benito had heard that her husband was taken near the inn of Tarnarices, and th , ,t he was to be shot at Lo grono. It appears that I)on Benito had been three days without food, and that in venturing forth to obtain some he was captured." MADRID BOURSE, DEC. 4.—Three per, Cents., for cash, 31 ; for account, 31f. Five per Cents., fur account, 21/. The new loan forms almost the only topic of dis cussion in the Paris papers ; and it is curious to see the different views taken of the subject by the Minh. terial and Opposition journals. The former express the utmost surprise and delight at the high price given by the ROTHSCIIILDS ; while the latter say there is nothing surprising in the matter, and the price is much below what might have been expected. There may be some truth in the remark, but the writers in these journals can claim nu merit fur this marked rise in the credit of the country. They have been eternally stirring up the French people against "perfidious Albion," and had their purposes been carried into effect, or France placed in the situation she was when M. TNIERS was Minister, we doubt much if the Three per Cents. would have stood even at 65f., or about 20r. lower than they are at present. Such has been the effect of the rational policy of the KING and his Minister. The Message r consequently may be allowed thus to boast of the result :—"'Phis is a new proof of the confidence inspired by the KING'S Government. It is shown, we think, not merely in the price at which the adjudication was made, but also in the offer of the other company which tendered, and which is alike composed of honourable_ men, whose experience and caution are well known. This is certainly a double proof of general confidence, and the progress of pub lic credit. The adjudication of the loan, under such conditions, is an important fact in the administration of M. LAPLAGNE, and the country which has long acknowledged his experience and prudent skill, will preserve the remembrance of "To form a clearer idea," says the Journal des Debats, " of the advantage resulting to the State from this , negotiation, its rate must be compared with that of the loan of 150 millions issued in 1841. That was effected at 78f. 5230., and there was besides almost the whole gain of a coupon of six months' intcre.q, or lf. 50c. It is therefore 77f. that ought to be placed in comparison with 84f. 86c. But this„ high quotation of French stock in no way surprises us. It is not alone on account of the prudence of the French Go vernment, and the excellent policy of order and peace to which it adheres more and more firmly, that it is to be attributed. French stock has not been, up to the present time, at its natural level. The difference of 18f., which existed even some days back, between the prices of French and English stock, is not justified. `When the English Threes are above par, the French Threes cannot remain about 80. The following extract from the Commerce will afford a fair specimen of the dissatisfaction expressed at the result by the Opposition press:— " We have been told that the Minister of Finances was quite elated when he proclaimed the price at vehich the loan vv as taken. Ile reminded the company present that the 150,000,000 f. last issued was only at 761. 75e., while the 200,000,0001. than called for had found takers at the real price of 82f. 45c., a profit to the public of sf. 70c., of which the present Government claimed the honour. It would have been quite enough to impose silence on the Ministerial vanity to have called to his recollection, that previous to 1840 the Three per Cents. of France were at 86, while the same stock of England was at 92 ; and that yesterday the French Stock was under 84, while in England the Three per Cents. had reached par, without the dividend. What could our statesman have answered to this comparison, 'ehich shows a difference in the prices of the French and Eng lish Funds to have been formerly GE per c( nt., and at the present day 14f, At all events, the duration of the Minister's satisfaction can have been only very transi tory, and he must have felt some shame on seeing the new loan immediately up at nearly three francs higher than he had obtained." According to the New Zurich Gazette of the 7th, great excitement prevailed among the rural popula tion of Basle against the Jesuits, and that the people have held a meeting, at which they resolved to march to Lucerne if the admisston of the Jesuits should be finally decided on. The authorities of Berne have marched a considerable force towards the frontier, a s a measure of precaution, in consequence of the excite ment at Lucerne. The French Three per Cents. closed on Tuesday at 851. 15c. for cash, and 851. 40c. for account. TLe new loan was quoted at 86f. 90c. THE BOURSE- 7 TuEsDIY, DEC. 10. First Highest Lowest Last Price.

The state of the Money Market is calculated to excite attention just now, capital continuing as abundant as ever, although there are to many new sources of em ployment constantly opening to it. Trade is certainly nut in a speculative sense absorbing much money, for ne one seems inclined to operate till after Christmas, but still the steady consumption going on must require a fair amount of capital. We perceive that among other pro jects there is one for forming railroads in British India, but we regret it did not come forward sooner, when the large amount—five millions sterling—stated to be requi site, would have been raised, in preference to that sub scribed for more doubtful projects. The English Securities have been rather flatter to-day, and there have been a few sales made.

HACKNEY HIGHWAY StssioNs.—Yesterlav above 1,000 defaulters were summoned for non-payment of the high way rate. Nearly the whole of them were excused on the score of poverty ; and many of the appellants were parties once moving in a respectable position in life, the detail of whose reverse of circumstances excited general commisera tion from the Bench. Mr. George Dunn, of Kingsland, ad dressed the Bench at some length, in appealing against pay ment. He raised several objections, but the Bench refused to entertain them, and recommended Mr. Dunn to appeal to the Quarter Sessions, a course which he declined to adopt. After hearing Many other appeal 3, the Court broke up. limpPlNo.--The second sale of the Hartlepool Shipping Company took place yesterday, which was numerously attended.

Martin Tupper, Esq., of New Burlington-street, a gentleman not less known for his eminence in the medical profession than he was be loved for the amiability of his manners, bad long been the medical attendant of the above noble family, and was accord ingly at Southhill Park when the late Earl expired, on Sa turday evening. Mr. Tupper retired to his apartment about 12 o'clock in apparently perfect health, but when his servant went to call him in the morning he was found dead in his bed.

The force of the explosion carried the ponderous machine still further, rebounding as she prcceeded, tearing away the timbers of the viaduct, and finally throwing her over the side, a depth of eighteen or twenty feet. The fire bars and part of the inner casing of the fire box were found at the bottom of the arches above mentioned. The front door of the smoke box was discovered about 100 yards dis tant, to which place it had been blown. The engine does not possess any peculiar construction, the form being similar to the others employed on the same line; and according to all accounts she had made several journeys before. The inner casing of the fire box, where there is little doubt the mischief originated, is of sheet copper nearly an inch in thickness; and although General Pasley's opinion was not publicly made known, we understand from good authority that he attri • butes the cause to a flaw in the copper, or a defect in ri vetting the casing. So far as regards any defect in the con struction of the viaduct, he has pronounced it to be perfectly safe and secure. Throughout yesterda7 workmen were busily employed re pairing the viaduct, which will occupy considerable time, as the damage is extensive. One line, however, is uninjured, and the trains continue to run as usual. Upon inquiry last night, we ascertained that the stoker. Aaron Wilkinson, was still alive, but in such a deplorable state as to be unable to give any history of the shockitg oc • curtence. His skull is fractured, his left arm broken, and other portions of his person dreadfully scalded. His unfor tunate companion was about thirty-two years of age; he was a single man, and resided at Ashford, near Dover, where his relations live. The Company give him a most excellent cha racter, and say he was one of the most experienced hands in their employ. The foreign mail, which was in the second-class carriage, was taken out, and, by order of Mr. George, the Secretary, forwarded by coach to the New-cross station, where a special engine was in readiness to convey the same on to Dover, and where it arrived about the usual time. The inquest upon the body, of the unfortunate driver has not as yet been appointed.

Mr. Albert Smith presided. Several extracts from the works of popular authors, and from the speeches of great orator; were given with very great effect by the mem bers of the Society. An address, written for the occa sion by Mr. Lawrence, was very well delivered by Mr. H. Sanders. The object of the Society is to cultivate among the younger inhabitants of the city that which is as much required of them as of any other persons in the metropolis, the art of speaking well ix public. which has hitherto been very much neglected, and the want of which has been felt by many of the citizens on their election to civic honours. Speak ing is abundant enough, but good speaking, which the Society is to encourage, very rare. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Moxhay for his kindness in allowing them to hold the meeting in the Hall of Commerce, an 4 to Mr. Albert Smith, the chairman. The meeting sepa rated at a late hour. NEW ECCLESIASTICAL DISTRICT AT WOOLWICH. —The whole of the arrangements for making the new ecclesiastical district at Woolwich has been completed, and will be submitted to the Queen at the first Council, and it is intended to designate it the district of St. Thomas, Woolwich. The appointment of the clergyman, who will be denominated perpet ua l cura t e , i n comp li ance with the Act of Parliament, will be made by the Prime Minister. Woolwich is rapidly increasing in population, the number of inhabitants being now about 28,000. Up wards of 1,000 new houses have been built during the present year, especially at the west end, and they are &west all occupied the moment they ure finished, and numerous others are in progress ; szql next seas( n is ex pected o be equally prolific in the erection of building.; to meet the demands of intended residents. The exten sive additions to Woolwich Dockyard and improvements requiring a great number of workmen, has given rise to a number of dwelling-houses at New Charlton, and the population has greatly increased in that quarter, con siderably enhancing the value of the property in the neighbourhood. DEATH AT A WEDDING.—A most dreadful acci dent occurred yesterday near the village of Llangeler. In the morning there had been a wedding, very nume rously attended, from the neighbourhood, by upwards of fifty or sixty horsemen,.among whom was James Evans, a groom, in the employ of W. P. Lewis, Esq., of Velindre. He was an excellent rider, and was mounted on a valu able chesnut mare belonging to his master. After the wedding the horsemen began racing against each other on the high road, and the mare ran ..away, galloping down the hill above Llangeler, at an awful pace, and in the village struck her head against a stone in the hank, and died instantly. Her rider was thrown off with fearful violence, fractured his skull, and within three hours after the accident was a corpse. The man with whom he was racing broke his leg.—Curmarthen Journal. DOMESTIC DRAINAGE.—It is impossible to make cesspools water-tight by building them with common mortar, for mortar becomes friable and rotten when im• pregnated with acid. The carbonate of lime contained in the mortar combines with the acid it meets with, and forms a lactate of lime, which, being soluble, is carried away. Therefore, while the lime is being gra dually removed, the silica, remains unacted upon, and thus the rotten and friable state of the mortar is easily accounted for: It is to be hoped that in future builders will pay more attention, and give their workmen stricter injunctions with respect to the proper construction of drains, for most assuredly the health of the whole community is somewhat dependent upon such construc tion. The, inefficiency of common brick drains, their improper forms, and the dilapidated and rotten state in which they are universally found, ought immediately to lead to their re-construction where practicable, by using the cylindrical tubular drains. With these the escape of deleterious effiuv:a would be prevented, and the at mosphere kept pure.— The Builder. NEW POOR-LAW.—The streets of Rochdale are poFted with bills, calling upon the rate-payers to come for ward with their contributions, in order to assist the guardians in every legal and constitutional struggle to prevent the introduction of this law into the parish of Rochdale. It is very currently reported in Rochdale, we have no means of knowing how far correctly, that there is to be a new batch of magistrates, who will give their aid f or the introduction of this law. The persons mentioned are the vicar, who is already in the commission of the peace for Yorkshire, and Mr. Joseph Butterworth, Belle-green. These two, it is stated, are to be assisted by the Rev. Mr. Mills, new incumbent for Littleborough, who lately used to sit at Oldham.— Manchester Guardian. THE LATE EARL OF LIMERICK.—NearIy all the more immediate relatives of the late Earl of Limerick were present with the Noble Lord at the time of his de cease on Saturday. Mr. and Lady Caroline Russell, Mr. and Lady Louisa Pole, Count J. and Lady Cocil Delafeld, Sir Henry and Lady Frances Calder. and the H n. Edmond Perry, continue at South•hill Park with the afflicted Countess. LYCEUM THEATRE.—Miss Walcot, who made a successful debut at this house a short time ago, appeared on Wednesday night as Rachael Ryland, in the Momentous Question. Miss Walcot sustained the character with her wonted taste andability. The performances were for the be nefit of a Jewish charity, and the house was well attended. it has the Ist Lifit Gwrds, and not thv let Dra gobas who formed the guard of h o n ou r a t the f unera l o f h er Royal highness the Princess Sophia Matilda ; and it was the first, and not the second, battalion of Fusilier Guards, which did duty at Windsor. • The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Wemyss, Lord Melville, Lord Ilowick, M.P., Lord Jeffrey, Lord Mackenzie, Lord Fuller ton, Lord Murray, Lord Wood, Lord Cuninghame, the Rev. Bishop Gilles, Sir G. S. Mackenzie, Bart., General Mayne, Sir W. Allan, the Lord Advocate, Sir A. Al. Gibson, and David Dundas, Esq., are among the subscribers who con tributed liberally towards establishing baths for the working classes of Edinburgh. THE OFFERTORY AND THE PARISH OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER- SQUARE.—On Sunday last the Bishop of London preached a sermon at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, on behalf of the Visiting Association of that parish, and ad vocated the claims of the charity with his usual earnestness and eloquence, when, to the surprise of the congregation, it was found, on leaving the church, that no collection was made. It appears that the bishop's intimation that the col lection should be made from pew to pew while the Offertory service was read from the communion-tablewas in opposition to the practice which had invariably been followed in that church; and, as the churchwardens did not feel justified in departing from the customs sanction by the congregation, the consequence was, that no collection was made, and the charity did not receive the slightes pecuniary advantage from his Lordship's advocacy.--Timer. A DOG KILLING 60 RATS WITHIN THREE MINUTES. —On Tuesday a match for 5/. a-side was decided at the George, Gravel-lane, Southwark, which was for a dog (of the bull-terrier breed) to kill 60 rats in the short space of three minutes. The number of rats were let loose, and the dog turned upon them and speedily commenced destr o yi ng t h em: He succeeded in killing the whole aatuber within' the stiri.. laced time, MEAT MARKETS.

FURTHER PARTICULARS. The accident happened on that part of the line known as the Wooden Viaduct, which runs over Blue Anchor-fields, 'Bermondsey, about three-quarters of a mile from the termi nus above named, to the original line of the Croydon Rail way, between New-cross and that of the Greenwich line. The viaduct is formed of massive fir timber, having upwards of two hundred arches, each with a span of full twenty feet, and supported by piles driven into the earth; the whole, as will be seen hereafter, was of great solidity. It appeared that the ill-fated train left the Bricklayers' Arms station for Dover at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock, the engine being driven by Robert Buckley, an ex perienced driver in the employ of the Company, attended by a fireman or stoker, named Aaron Wilkinson. It con sisted of eleven luggage waggons, a break, and a second-class carnage, in which was deposited the packages for the fo -reign mail, under- the charge of an officer of the General Post-office. There were in the break waggon the Com pany's guards, .as well as the servants belonging to the carriers—in all five or six persons. This carriage was the last on the train, and fortunately escaped uninjured. The whOleof the others, excepting the second-class carriage, were .more or less shattered by the force of the concussion. The engine, which is comparatively a new one, and of inure than ordinary power we understand, on qaitting the station proceeded along the line towards the viaduct, to use the ex pression of those who were present at the time, " as easily as if she had nothing behind her." It is the practice pursued by the engineers to have another locomotive engine in readi ness, to assist in driving all trains over the viaduct, which is rather upon the incline. As the train advanced towards that spot another engine followed in the rear, and, it is stated, had just reached the break, when a terrific explosion Oc curred, which was thus described by one of the guards to the Directors of the line, who met yesterday :—The first thing that occurred, he said, was a smart explosion, which, the next instant, was followed by another explosion of far greater force than the preceding one, and which, with a subsequent tremendous crash, almost stunned him. The concussion threw him forward, and the carriage in which he was was so violently shaken that he thought it was falling to pieces. He immediately jumped up, and got off the carriage to see what had happened, but could perceive nothing in conse quence of a cloud of steam, and large pieces of burning coke descending in a shower in every direction. For a moment or so he was completely bewildered, it being too apparent that some fearful accident had occurred. As soon, however, as the steam and smoke had in some measure cleared away, he discovered the line to be completely blocked up with the waggons, which were spread across the two lines of rails, and piled many of them upon one another. He, with the rest of the guards, called to the engine -driver, and also his companion, the stoker, but receiving no answer, they climbed over the pile of waggons in the direction in which they expected to find the engine, a work not accomplished without considerable difficulty, for they found that some of the waggons were shattered, and that, to all appearance, the viaduct had broken in. On arriving at the other end of the train, they discovered that the engine had burst, and had gone over the viaduct, and was partially buried in the earth beneath, whilst the tender was hanging over the side of the viaduct, torn and folded up, as if it had been made of mere pasteboard, its carriage having fallen to the ground about twenty yards from where the engine lay. It was evident that the explosion inust have been heard for a considerable distance, as numerous persons were to be seen hurrying to wards the spot, but to obtain efficient aid, the pilot engine, - which was to have propelled the train from the rear, was dispatched back to the station. In the meanwhile search was made for the engine -driver and the stoker, and shortly the for mer' Robert Buckley, was f oun d lying some 20 or 30 yards up the line where the engine went off, with one of the large waggons partly resting upon his body. From the dangerous position of the waggons, some time elapsed before it could be ascertained whether he was alive or dead. However, upon reaching him he wa s f oun d to b e dead, and even then the body could not be extricated fir upwards of an hour and a half. The stoker was found in the rear of the train, lying on the opposite rails, bleeding profusely, and apparently d e ad, w ith the whole of his jacket, except the cuffs, blown off his back. Immediately upon the arrival of assistance from the station, Mr. George, the secretary, who came with the eng i nes , h a d the poor fellow wrapped in blankets, placed in a second-class carriage and conveyed to the station, and from thence taken by a cab to Guy's Hospital, where it was found that he was still living. As soon as possible the line was cleared of all obstructions, so that the regular traffic might not be impeded, and at an early hour the Directors, who had assembled on the spot, with Mr. Cubitt, the locomotive engineer, and Mr. Gregory, of the Croydon line, considered it necessary to forward im mediate intelligence of what had happened to Colonel I'asley, the Inspector-General of Railroads, and who arrived soon after nine o'clock, when a strict examination was gone into, the result of which is as follows : The bursting of the locomotive being the supposed cause of the accident, their first object was to examine the engine, as it lay imbedded in the earth. After getting off the viaduct it had pitched head foremost into the earth, a depth of four feet, and then turned over. They found the fire box was 'blown out, as well as the whole of the fire bars ; and the inner casing, between which and the outer casing the steam generated, was also torn away. The next point was to examine what effect the explosion had had upon the viaduct, and the probable cause of her getting off the same. They found, upon inquiry, that there had been two explosions; the first apparently took place about eighty feet f r o m th e spot where th e engine was lying. The fire bars at the bottom of the fire box had been blown completely through the viaduct into arch No. 134, making a hole three or four feet square. The second explosion (the most severe of the two), not only blew the fire box through the arch No. 133, butsuch was the force of the steam, to use the phrase of our informant, that the engine jumped," and descended partly on thp SUMMARY OF NEWS A N fl ii - 4tllitc &pirttiay.
