He , left the tap and raked the fire from the fur- The trucks were left therefore a perfect biotic • line. Not being provided with the electric elegrapb, some delay occurred in sending a message the London terminus and procuring a pilot -engine. - While this' was going on the station tnasteir appears to have acted with much promptitude in protecting the up line. A porter was dispatched to the long distance semaphore, and the man - from - the coal de.i pOt, not in the service of the coropavy, was sent further down the line to the extent; it was re presented, of 1,000 yards, with the red flag. A luggage train shortly afterwards came up and was duly stopped, and this was followed by an Exbibi. tion excursion train from Hull, which was brought safely to a halt at the rear of the luggage trucks. At length the pilot engine arrived, which tock the coal wag gons in tow, and the luggage followed in a short time. In order that the Hull train might have the fullest amount of protection, it wa , signalled to come up to the station, which it did. It was there detained until such time as the preceding coal and luggage trains could have been some distance on the road. It was then nearing seven o'clock, but clear daylight, and the red signal lamps, however, were not lighted. Ttie man who had been sent 1,000 yards along the line, stated that be kept to his post; that a train driven by two engines, and consisting of 35 carriages (which proved to he from Leeds, York, &e.) cams in sight; that he waved and held the red flag right over the line and in front of the engine, and that when it passed him—and this is perhaps the most remarkable part of the story—the driver waved his hand to him as if to imply that he understood him, and that be was to take it away. The train went on with the speed but little, if at all, reduced. A man who was ,at work at the coal depOt, perceiving the approach of the train, at once started up the train with his arms raised, with a view of stopping it. It is ;averred that he had gone two hundred yards when the train passed him, and the driver seeing hi m at once shut off the steam and adopted every mode of bringing it to a halt; but with a train of 35 car riages, all crowded with passengers, which, with the two engines, amounted to a weight of 300 tons and a momentum force of perhaps 1,000 tons, it was not so easily to be accomplished. The deplorable conse quences of the collision are known. Happily the Hull train was put in motion, and although it had not pro ceeded many yards it was sufficient to reduce the shock considerably. With respect to whether the danger signal was really placed at I,O(kC yardgokask the station, as mentioned, there seems to be consider able doubt. The drivers of the engines of the York train, as also the guards, spoke of not seeing the man with the flag, and they asserted that had he been there they must have seen him several yards before they came up to him. They added that the first intima tion they received of there being some obstruction on the line was observing the danger signal at the bridge and the man who had run up the line with his arms raised. They at once shut off the steam, reversed it, applied the breaks, and did everything that was possible to check the train ; and had it been lighter than it really was they were of opinion that they could easily have stopped it in time to have averted the collision. The greatest difficulty was its enormous weight, and it appears that it was that alone which prevented them bringing it up. There were other circumstances urged in confirmation of the representations of those in charge of the train ; but from the very private way in which the proceed ings altogether were conducted, and the strict injunc tions given the men not to render any information to the press, we are unable to afford them publicity. The inquiry did not terminate until late last even ing. Captain Leifer), as may be generally known, gives his opinion as to the cause of the accident in a report to the Board of Trade, and therefore we are not in a position to state what conclusion he came to in this unfortunate instance ; but we may mention that Mr. Leith expressed an opinion to the reporter that the collision was purely au accident and arose from the inability of the drivers of the York train, owing to its heavy character, to bring up in time to prevent coming in contact with the Hull carriages. On inquiry into the state of the Rev. Mr. Snell, who continues at the house of Mr. Rhodes, the Rail way Hotel, near the station, we learnt that he remains in a very bad state. He has not regained the use of his lower extremities. Most of the clergy in the dis trict have visited him and condoled with him as to his painful position. The other sufferers lying at the hospital are progressing favourably. THE LATE DISASTER ON THE BUCK INGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY. BICESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—Major Dews, one of the Buckinghamshire Railway directors, hes this day personally visited the sufferers from the late acci dent, with the view of seeing that every attention is paid them. The medical referee of the company is making terms with the various persons injured, and paying them compensation in cash for the injuries they have sustained. An impression exists that the disaster will lead to the adoption of a double line of rail instead of a single one, as at present, from Oxford to the Claydon junction. In consequence of the ca tastrophe a special meeting of the board cf directors is called for Wednesday next. The funeral of Corporal Noon took place yesterday afternoon at Oxford in the presence of a very large concourse of persons. It is understood that be was on his way to Oxford on a love errand, and that Elizabeth Easley was also on a similar mission.

The receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to 1,9001., and marvellous to relate, the sum of 61. was realised by the sale of season tickets. Accord ing to the 'Joliet returns the number of visitors was 17,959. Although, in compliance with the original design of its projectors, the Great Exhibition has itself only an ephemeral existence, it is satisfactory to think that the most ample and complete records will be preserved of its character and details. Few events have at tracted such an amount of contemporary publicity. The pen and the pencillave both been incessantly at work in perpetuating its industrial triumphs, and when all the,material vestiges of the display me removed from our eyes, it will still live in a form the most va luable and enduring. The reptrts of the juries in each class will obviously prove an important repertoire of facts and observations, and the information which has been collected in newspapers, in periodicals, and in other charinels of instruction, may also be turned to excellent account, but it is to the Illustrated Cata logue that we must look as capable of being made the most complete and satisfactory work of reference hereafter on the great industrial pageant of 1851. That publication now approaches its completion, fur three 'parts of it have already appeared, and the fourth will soon be ready. It is intended that it shall be is sued in three volumes, the first two of which will be dedicated to the products of Great Britain and her co lonies, while the last embraces the contributions of foreign eountries. As far as Our exhibitors are con cerned the work is complete, and from the portions that have already been given to the public we are en abled to form a pretty fair estimate of its character and the style of its execution. Of all literary labours that of getting up books of reference is, perhaps, the most tedious and the most thankless. The bare name of a catalogue kills the interest of the most indefati gable bookworm, after the collection of objects to which it was intended as a guide has ceased to be accessible. The present, however, is an exceptional case, and we predict for the Illustrated Catalogue of the Great Exhibition a standard reputation, and a large share of public patronage when the grass has once more grown over the site of the Crystal Palace, and the great event of this year has become a thing of the past. From un avoidable causes, the contractors, Messrs. Spicer and Cloves, are only completing the last pages of their work as the spectacle to which it relates is about to close; but they need be little alarmed at such a consideration. It has an enduring interest in the mass of valuable information of almost every descrip tion which it contains. To put the industrial pro ducts of the world under a glass case was a won derful feat to perform ; but here we have a still more extraordinary example of condensation, partly executed and in process of successful comple tion. The Great Exhibition is reduced within the compass of three not very unwieldy volumes, and to the intellect in all respects, and in most important respects to the eye its features and significance are preserved. Every object in the col lection will be found noted down ,and described with the amount of particularity due to it. The prompt ings of partiality and the infirmities of judgment are equally excluded from ithis unbiassed re cord. An extensive series of illustrations is made to embrace every object worthy of elucida tion by the artists' power, and in order that the in structive character of the work may be fully sus tained, annotations written by men of the highest qualifications are introduced to explain processes, point out the character and uses of objects, and deve lop in brief terms the rationale of the more remark or least understood branches of human industry ; with these features of interest the popularity of the Illustrated Catalogue when completed seems secure. It will prove a complete literary type of the original to which it refers, opening up sources of amusement or instruction to every class of taste, and proving equally at home on the drawing-room table, handled by fashionable dilettanti in the study, pored over by the scholar or the man of science, at the merchant's desk as a book of constant reference—in the factory, the foundery and theworkehop, as a repertoire for de signs, and as highly suggestive for future progress. A more pleasant work to dive into during an idle hour can hardly be insagiipd,, for wherever_it is taken, up there is something new striking, and worth i y! of attention. The necessity for condensation renders prosing impossible, and the classification of subjects secures an agreeable variety of subjects without monotony on the one hand, or a miscellaneous effect upon the other. Illustrations have been sparingly resorted to in the first portion, which re lates to raw materials, but, as a substitute for this, we have tables and statistics of great value, and a large mass of information entirely original in its cha racter. In the second part, which is devoted to ma chinery numerous diagrams and sketches are intro duced explanatory of the different objects exhibited. The chief interest of the Catalogue, however, in this respect lies in the third and fourth parts, the latter of which is still unfinished. The three volumes will contain, altogether, abcut 1,200 illustrations, and the greater number of them will be given in the last volume, which will be dedicated to the foreign half of the Exhibition. This is the proper course to pur sue, for the foreign contributions are those which it is most important to have sketched. ,We are informed that original information of much value and interest bas been commuicated to the com pilers of the catalogue, from the different countries which have taken part in the Exhibition, and that this will form a prominent feature of the work when completed. At present, while the public mind is saturated with the subject, the introductory posi tion of the book may not attract the notice to which it is entitled ; hut when we are able to look back upon the whole undertaking from a point in the future and proceed to take its exact measure as an historical event, we shall not fail to be duly impressed with the remarkable character of the information there con tained. Within the limits of 107 pages are com pressed Mr. Cole's account of the way in which the Exhibition was got up, Mr. Digby Wyatt's descrip tion of the Crystal Palace, Dr. Lyon Playfair's clas sification of the artificial world, the directory of the scheme, the list of jurors, and the preliminary notice of the catalogue by Mr. Robert Ellis, its editor. Mr. Cole's narrative is especially worthy of attention for the insight which it affords into the machinery, by which vast projects like the Exhibition can be suc cessfully carried out. Even in this country, where the principle of association is so thoroughly under stood, that machinery must be pronounced to be a masterpiece of skilful combinations. Let us recall for a moment its chief incidents. A small body of men, without any influence of rank or wealth, and forming the council of what bad previ ously been regarded as a useless society, conceived, as early as 1845, the idea of an Industrial Exhibition, national in its character. After one fruitless attempt, they engaged in a series of preparatory measures cal culated to render their scheme acceptable to the pub lic and secure of its support. Four years of indefati gable labour elapsed and they had gathered around their undertaking an amount of support which they conceived justified them in again bringing it forward. They had placed it under the direct patronage of the Crown, and had secured for it, as an appropriate head, the name and the personal exertions of the Prince Consort. A Royal Commission was appointed, in which men of all parties, irrespective of politics, were included. In the meantime , the views of the pro jectors had expanded and they resolved to give their scheme a cosmopolitan character. The great seats of our manufactures were successfully canvassed for aid, and foreign Governments responded to the invitations given to them and promised co operation. Yet even this powerful combination did not exempt the undertaking from perils that more than once threatened to be fatal. The question of ways and means was for some time a stumbling-block in the path, and the Commission long hesitated to as sume the pecuniary responsibilities which, in some way or other, it was necessary to provide for in con sequence of the determination of Messrs. Mundy's contract. At a most critical juncture Mr. Peto came forward, and, with a degree of public spirit and libe rality which cannot fail to be appreciated, pledged his name for a startling amount. Then, when other dif ficulties had been overcome, the question of a build ing presented almost insuperable obstacles. At the last moment Mr. Paxton and Messrs. Fox and Henderson rushed to the rescue of the perplexed Commission, and, after a succession of dangers, the scheme of the Exhibition was in safety. Had Mr. Cole's narrative been more detailed, it might have been rendered still more attractive, but the au th o r, no doubt, prudently preserved silence on points which it would perhaps have been indiscreet to touch upon, and the leading men in the council of the Society of Arts having gained their object, are seen quietly resigning to more exalted names the honour and the glory of an enterprise which they not only originated but rendered practicable by their ex igby Wyatt's account of the ertions. Of Ur. D THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. WOOL TRADE.--LONDON, SEPT. 11.—The quantity of wool imported into London during the week ending to-day has been only 117 bales, of which 87 were from Germany, and the rest from Italy, &c. The business doing privately is not large, but prices remain about the same. A novel course has been pursued by one or two brokers, viz., that of having public sales of East India and foreign, independent of the usual periodical auctions. ENGLISH WOOL.--LEEDS, SEPT. 12.—Sales of comb ing wools have been limited, and prices may be quoted stationary. In clothing wools wo have not any altera tion to report. FOREIGN WOOL.--LEEDS, SEPT. 12..—N0 great amount of business has been done in foreign wools this week, but prices are steadily maintained, and the pros pects of the trade are generally considered satisfactory. LIVERPOOL WOOL.---SEPT. 11.—The imports the past week consisted of 132 bales, say 50 Mohair, 20 Smyrna, 39 Maltese, 2 N a p les, 21 Mogadore. By p r ivate the market is quiet; buyers waiting for the sales to•mor row, when 1,400 bales East India, 600 Perus; and a few otb wools, will be offered at suction. improvement in DE OF LEEDS.—There has been no improvement in lea 'uess at the Cloth Halls this week; both Saturday fl itillill dull; sales are effected . with and T eiday were very difficul , and the manufacturers . complain heavily of prices a compared to the advance in wool. The stocks are not argo at this season of the year, and some of the mills ail rather curta ilin g their operations . . A moderate amount a business has bee n done in the warehouses during the week. Tne a rsx OF LEICESTER.—The country hosiers are , doing r it amount of busines s, but the London houses are extr ely flat for the seaso n of the year. Their purchase are small, and made with extreme caution; yarns 1941 wool continue without alteration. 4RAtIFORD, SEPT. 11.---WooLs.--There is no im provement in the demand for any kind of wool to-day, and throughout the week the business d one has been very limited; the staplers are anxious to sell, but cannot afford to offer at prices that will induce the spinners to buy.—Y . arns.—Yarns. is no new feature in th e y arn trade; it is as bad as it can be, and there is great loss on more cheeriul ieelinis among every sale made at present prices. Pieces.—There is a the merchants, no doubt owing to the fact of all being generally it tuiss exp busy in houses. The trade is decidedly later than former sea sons, and with the abundant harvest, home trade will keep busy. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, SEPT. 11.—We have again experienced great firmness in the market for cloths, and in yarns the a mount of business doin g is moderately large, though there has been no improvement in price; s ince Tuesday. In piece goods manufacturers are still for the most part untier contract to a considerable extent ,And. a re enr.:eq..irltt;y in a sr.ffijently independent posi ition to refuse ordure, unless at lull prices. In some few instances where they have been anxious to sell, business building, and of Dr. Lyon Playfair's classification it is unnecessary to speak, as the public is already well informed on these subjects, but to the directory of the Exhibition an d to the list of jurors some amount of attention is fairly due. In these names are comprised an extent and variety of practical and scientific talent, the union of which on any one occasion, and for any given purpose, is altogether unprecedented. As. the eye glances ovor the seemingly uninviting array it is imposible not to be struck with the curicua combinations of persons which they pre sent. Leading tradesmen and manufacturers rub shoulders with the most eminent philosophers of the day, and science, descending from her pedestal, min gles freely and unostentatiously with the followers of hard-banded industry. Not only so, but all the na tions of the civilised world send the most distin guished of their citizens in the peaceful arts to sit in judgment upon the comparative excellences of rival products, and to determine, at polyglot conferences, the stage of industrial progress which mankind have attained. The directory of the Exhibition and the list of jurors, taken together, form one of the most re markable organisations that the world has ever wit nessed—an organisation which, considering its ob jects, implies not only an act of homage to industry, but a guarantee to civilisation. The pages of the Illustrated Catalogue, which contain these names, are as instructive and reassuring as any within its following verdict :—" Accidental death, caused by the breaking of the iron ck rods which connected the cross and the bu et.

THE .FATAL ACCIDEIVT ON THE .RAILWAY. The coroner's inquest on the body of John Taylor, who was ki] led in a collision between a Derby pas senger train: and Codnor-park mineral train, within a mile of Nottingham, on Wednesday, was resumed at the Guildhall there, on Friday afternoon, at two o'clock. John Bower, of Mansfield, under-guard in the service o f the Midland Railway Company, deposed that on Woclnesday morning he was with a mineral train. He left the goods-shed at the Nottingham station at all out twenty-five minutes to seven o'clock. ,aou oughtt 2 5 It was nude up at the siding, and then put on the i: him main line.

It was the duty of witness to have gone down to have signalled the passenger train, but he could not, because without him the engineman could not have seen the points. John Royce, of Mansfield, employed sometimes as porter, sometimes as guard to a mineral train, deposed that on Wednesday morning he ought to have gone with a luggage train, at half-past six, for Codnor • park and Mlnsfield. He had overslept himself, and as he was going to the station the clock struck seven. He was told the train was waiting. He ran fast, and met Bower about ten yards from where the train was standing. :Bower was walking gently towards Not tingham, and was asking witness whether he had brought the waybill, when witness exclaimed, " John, there's a train coming," and they ran different roads, witness going to the goods train and Bower to the coming passenger train. When witness had got past about seven 'waggons he heard a crash of the other train coming into them. Witness had gone to bed the previous alight at twenty minutes past ten o'clock, and had only had one pint of ale to drink previously. Anthony Tomlinson, driver of the goods train, gave similar evidence to that of Bower, except that he thought Bower had plenty of time to stop the pas senger train. Robert Rigby deposed that he had told the guard he expected a train, when the guard replied, "My mate has not come yet ; he has locked the break and got the key, and I cannot get a signal." Witness told him if he went back he could stop a train without a signal. That was 16 or 17 minutes before the col lision, which occurred about eight minutes before 7 o'clock. The guard had plenty of time to have gone to the signalman at the Nottingham station. Charles Mitchell, fireman, deposed that during the first shunt he heard the pointsman tell the guard to go back and stop the coming train. Two or three shunts were effected after that, before the guard went back. Nathaniel Eckersley, superintendent of ways and works on the Midland Railway, deposed that the spot where the collision took place was about 550 yards from the signal at the W ilford-gate, and about 252 yards from the Mansfield Junction. If the guard bud walked from the luggage-train to the Wi!ford gate it would have taken him about five minutes. After a quarter of an hour's absence, the jury re turned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against John Bowers, and he was committed, upon the coroner's warrant, for trial at the next Nottingham Assizes. With regard to Royce, the jury recommended that he be immediately dismissed from the service of the company. limits. We hear with pleasure that Mr. Wallis, to whose care the arrangement of textile fabrics was committed by the Royal Commission, and who also discharged important duties in connexion with the jury system, has been appointed by the Board of Trade master of the School of Design at Birmingham. This•is not only a fair recognition of valuable services, but a just recompense to Mr. Wallis, who formerly held a similar situation at Manchester, which he resigned because he felt strongly the impropriety.of baring a course of instruction in anatomy thrust coniptilsorily upon his pupils, wha were being educated as designers for calico printing. When Mr. Wallis gave up his place he had about three hundred pupils, and there were ninety applicants waiting for admission, while a balance of 4001. to its credit testified to the financial prosperity of the school. In less than two years afterwards, from the absurd system of training enjoined by the central authorities, the at tendance had dwindled down to 70 pupils, and the school was 400/. in debt. At the present moment, when the deficiencies of our manufacturers in design have been so strongly brought out, such facts as we have stated are well worthy of publie attention. — Morning paper. THE LATE FATAL COLLIERY ACC! , DENT NEAR ABERDARE. The brief particulars of this dreadful calamity, by which 14 persons were hurried into eternity, have already appeared in The Sun. The inquest on the bodies has since been held by the coroner, Mr. Over ten. The investigation was a very lengthened one, but the following evidence will be found to contain all the material facts adduced. Mr. John Nixon, examined—l am one of the pro prietors of the Wyrfa Colliery. I have three partners —namely, Mr. James Evans, Mr. Thomas Edwards Heath, and Mr. David Williams. The pit was com menced in 1846. It has been in work, I think, about four years. It is worked by a water balance, the water being pumped up by a steam-engine. The di mensions of the pit are 13 feet broad by 20 feet long. It is an oval pit. The depth is about 66 yards to the bottom of the sump. There are two buckets used. They are each about 5 feet 9 inches in diameter, and are round. We have three guide rods to each bucket. They are made of wire rope, but they are called " rods" on account of iron having been originally used. A round chain is used for suspending the buckets, which chain is an inch and seven-sixteenths in diameter, and was made by Messrs. Brown, Lenox, and Co. It was proved before it left the manufactory at a strain of 37 tons. I did not see it proved, but I have the manufactu rer's certificate to that effect. The chains and buckets have been used since 1846, but we have had three sets of bucket rods. The chain has never broken. The first bucket rods were smaller, and we replaced them with larger ones. The first rods were 11 inch ; the second, 1i inch, were put in April, 1848. In September, 1848, we put two new rods and repaired the others. That was done in consequence of an acci dent. In April, 1849, four new screws and four new shoulders were put to the buckets. The shoulders connect the buckets with the screws, and the screws are fastened to the cross rods at top, which sustain the bucket. The bucket, which fell 15 yards, was unin ured. The quantity of coal worked at the pit is about 35,000 tons a year. Matthew Mills, of Cwmbacb, examined—l am a coal agent, and superintend the Wyrfa Colliery. I was at the colliery on the top of the pit on the Thurs day morning when the accident happened. One man had been let down before I got there in the morning. Sixteen trems of coal and four trains of rubbish were brought up after the men went down. A train and its load of coal weigh a ton and a half. Only one tram was brought up at a time. Eight horses were sent down—one at a time. About half-past seven there were more than twenty persons waiting to go down. At length the hitcher at the bottom of the pit intimated that they might descend, and on that being said several men jumped into the bucket. The breaksman asked them why they went in be fore the catch-bolt had been withdrawn. All left the bucket then and returned to it as soon as the bolt had been withdrawn. I told them not to go down that way—there were too many going down—as they overcrowded the platform on the bucket, and some of them then jumped back. I wanted to see that everything was right. I took hold of two—Edmund Williams and David Lewis—and two or three others came out of their own accord. I said to them, "Do not push in that manner, or else, some time or other, you will push one another down to the pit." 'When the bucket went down they were not too many; the balance was rather light. I was not angry with them because their weight would be too much, but because they were rushing on so in cautiously and would not go on in an orderly way. David Lewis, whom I pulled back, would go down and was killed. The bucket went down very slowly, as there was barely sufficient weight to balance it. I watched it for three yards, as I happened to be stand ing there. There were eleven persons in it. I then went from four to five yards back, and I heard a sound as if something was breaking. I turned my head back, and saw the chain by which the men were let down playing backwards and forwards, and the other chain made a stand for an instant. The descending chain returned back then, the cross struck the spring beams, the chain went up to the top of the sheave, fell upon the spring beam on the opposite side, which it broke, and then fell down into the pit. In two or three minutes I directed a man to call out to know if any of the descending men were alive, and the answer was that they were not—every one had been killed ; the eleven who were descending in one bucket and the three who were ascending in another; two of the three, Rees Morgan and John Rogers, had been work ing all night. They were all killed upon the spot, dying instantly. We prepared a rope and a crab, where with to communicate with the pit. About eleven that forenoon all the bodies had been brought up. We then proceeded to get the men up who were at work —about 50 or 60, and we got them all up before two o'clock. We afterwards found the three pieces of the bucket rods produced, and also the ends of two arms of the "cross." On Friday I went down to the pit and saw the end of the fourth bucket-rod. The four rods had broken in the same place—in the screw, about nine inches from the top. The chain was all perfect at the bottom, fastened on one side to the bucket and on the other to the centre piece of the cross. The breaksmau was at the break at the time the bucket coramenced its descent, and I saw him putting the break down. The bucket did not go down faster than usual ; it did not go so fast as it usually went. Nothing bad occurrod to damage the chains or the rods. I think the accident was occa sioned by the breaking of the rods, but that is only a surmise of mine. There was no weight whatever in the bucket except of those eleven persons. Iron is more likely to break in the screw than anywhere else. The pit was fitted up very well in every respect. John Evans, pit carpenter for the Do wlais Com pany, who had had about thirty years' experience in collieries, and who had put this pit up, was of opinion that one of the bucket-rods must have been broken, perhaps a week ago, and in the cross, and so have oc casioned the accident. Ten men could not have pushed the bucket against the side. John Snelling, of Merthyr, examined —I am a awls h. 1 made those rods, and am in the habit of making rods of this kind. I cannot see anything of any flaw in those screws to wage any account of ; but there is a slight appearance of a flaw in one. which appearance, I think, was caused recently by a blow. The iron is No. 3, and of the very best quality made at Mr. Anthony Hill's Plymouth forge. I cannot account for iron breaking short off in this wav without a jar; but when iron breaks in a screw it always breaks across, following the thread of the screw ; but if there be no screw it rips along, and does not break short off. After some further evidence of no great importance the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned the THE LATE COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY. THE OFFICIAL INQUIRY. Yesterday and throughout the whole of the pre ceding day Captain Laffan, R.E., one of the Govern ment Inspectors of Railways, was engaged at the liornsey station of the Great Northern Railway, in vestigating the circumstances attending the disastrous collision between the two Exhibition excursion trains on the above line on Monday evening, some particu lars of which have already appeared in our columns. The inspector was accompanied by Mr. Leith, who officiated for the superintendent of the line, and who, we believe, was the only representative of the company in attendance. In order that the facts of the occur rence might be as correctly laid before the public as possible, the reporter solicited permission of Captain Laffan to be present at the inquiry. The gallant officer courteously replied that he had no objection to the press being admitted and the public put in possession of the proceedings, and individually he should offer no obstacle, but there was a difficulty :in the way. The investigation took place upon the company's pre mises, over which he had no control ; and if the com pany, therefore, declined allowing the reporter to be present, he (the captain) had no authority to interfere. The reporter accordingly applied to Mr. Leith for the entree, but he at once declined acceding to the request, without giving any reason for the exclusion. In consequence of this proceeding, we of course cannot state precisely whet took place, but from various sources we gathered the subjoined details. The captain, on his arrival, proceeded to examine and survey that portion of the line which formed the scene of the collision. The site of the Hornsey sta tion, as regards security, is certainly not the most favourable. It is situated in a curve, and, particu larly with down trains, can only be seen some 200 yards distant. The signals also appear not to seem the most prominent. To the up line there are two semaphore signals. One is opposite the station, at the end, or rather at the beginning of the up platform, 4 feet high, while the other is about 200 yards down the line. By some awkward contrivance it is placed on the embankment rather than upon the permanent way, so that in fact it is only nine feet above the level of the road. It should also be mentioned that the latter is not worked by a man specially apointed to watch it, but by an ordinary wire and crank com municator from the station. The station is what is termed a third class one, and the servants employed there are represented to be the station master and a porter to attend to the signals, the passengers, lug gage, &c., with the occasional aid of a man from the coal depot near. It is situated on the main line, where all the express and &ow passenger trains pass, with innumerable coal, luggage, and cattle trains, and being so near the metropolis, it often happens that they are so close upon one another that they are obliged to be brought up at this station in order to secure their safe transit. Enough was elicited to show, it is said, that the ac cident was in a great measure attributable to the somewhat dangerous practice of running coal trains just in advance, it may be said, of heavy excursion trains. Perhaps no line running into the metropolis has bad so large an amount of Exhibition traffic as the Great Northern ; their trains have been enor mous, and not being protected, as most railways are, by the electric telegraph, it does seem extraordi nary that such a heavy block as a full train of coal laden trucks should be run upon the line just before the monster train from the North, and indeed the esses instead of afterwards. But we are informsd expr , ~ of a greater danger than even that existed. Although there was a stated time given for the passing of the Exhibition trains, they of late have been running so irregularly, as also the coal and luggage trains, that throughout the whole southern portion of the lire those engaged at the stations have been left in perfect mystery as to when to expect them. They have gone by at all hours, inconveniencing and delaying the ordinary traffic. As before noticed, shat is known as a full train of coal trucks brought up at the brassy station, and l __--s-- could proceed no further in consequence of the engi ne ' becoming disabled.
