SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDRNT. —OU Monday
a singular accident occurred to the 3 40 express train
from London to Birmingham, between Leighton and
Bletchley. Tte following parti :nista are those which
were given by a gent'eman who was a passenger in the
train, and who, it will appear, but a very narrow
• EICIIm. Soon after the train had left Leighton station,
the il wring of the secon .1-class compartment, in wLi.iti
the passenger aiready ref, rred to was tiding, dropped
out. There was only one pasaenger in the compartment,
and he got upon one of the seats. He states that he,
endeavonred to pull t's cord—the means of com-
munication with the driver or the guard of the troin
- and that he heard the bell sound, but that the
train was Lot stoma d. During this time sparks
and splinters from the broken ILioring whPill came
in coutaat with the wheels were Plying about, and
be rays that he was himself, to use his own
words, " jerked about like a parched pea in a frying

feeling that he was in the most imminent peril, and
that of two (lingers it was better to cho we the lesser,
he determined to jump fri in the train. lie did so, awl
rolled down the embankment, and fortunately eacaped
without any lure ken hones. Soon after he had jump d
from the carriage the teain stopped, returned to the
awl where he had made his leap for life, and picked
him up again. Although, happily, the passenger es-
caped without personal injury, he lost his hat and his
luggage, and he will probably for the rest of hie life
have a nery vivid recollection of his ride from Leigitun
to lititchley. The arcident to the carriage caused a
delay of half an hour to the express.—Birenistyliom

CONFFE8:011 OF A MURDER.—On Saturday a
man named George Kingsland was brought hi fore the

TEM DEATH OF THE EARL OF ABERDEEN CON-
FIRMED.—The Overland Mail he brought news from
Ming Kong tc the 111th of December. —The China

from Hong Kong :
The young earl, who was of a roving and adventurous ells-

A COLLIERY ON FIRE.— A fire which seems
likely to be one of the met extensive that have occurred
in the coal district of South Lancashire has c memenced
at the collieries of the Tavid Vale Coal Ocmpany,
situate alxiut nine miles from Wigan. The seem in
which the fire has broken out is known as the tw, lie
feet or seven-feet, and is worked at these pits by means
of two shafts- an upcaet, sixty yards deep, and a
downcast, which has been carried to a depth of nearly
120 3 aide. Indications of smouldering were observed
some time ago, hut no immediate danger appears to
have been anticipated, and the ordinary working ef
the mine was proceeded with. Lost wick, however,
the fire broke into an open flume, whicb, with great
rapidity extended along, the main airways laud
it aeon became evident that the only way of dealing
with the flames was to clone both 'shafts., and try, if
possible' to shut off the supply of air. l'he upcaet pit
was filled with " metal" to within a short distance of
the surface. and across the mouth of the downcast was
constructed a strong ecatfold covered with c'ay. The
work of building the scaffold was carried on with
great difficulty in consequenee of the pressure of an
immense volnine of smoke, which reached far above the
head gear, and shut cif all possibility of descending.
The mine has b( on opened out shout ten years, and
the fire will have an immense area to work noon. The
seam is the thickest in the neighbonrhoo4, and the
average height of the places is ten feet. In addition
to the air in these workings, it is feared that the fl ernes
may be fed from EMTe old cuttings at an adjacent
colliery, and there is also a danger of airreaching the
fire from the surface, for the mine crops out only a
short distance from the scene of the conflagration.
The fire is attrihuted to spoutssneous combustion.
