Leicester train following so closely on the heels of the

(From the Leicester.Aire Mercury of this day.)
We have spoken to several persons who were passengers
in both the trains, end they agree that the Burton train
was throughout the journey very little a head of the excur-
sion train—but not at any time, as far as they could judge,
dangerously so. In fact, the Burton train bad time to com-
plete watering at the siding at Market Harborough, and
was actually drawing off to realme the journey when the
excursionists dashed into it. As to the proximate cause of
this collision there appears a painful unanimity of opinion,
and that is—it was owing to the fact that the "back
signal" had not been turned on, and consequently the
driver of the approaching train conceived the line all
clear into the station. It may be observed here that the
Harborough Station is the property of the London and
North Western Company, and worked by their °Moors and
servant.. The Midland Company have merely a superin-
tendent there to watch over their interests, but he has
nothing to do with the working of the bemieen—nothing to
do with the management of the tniiss or the traffic. At the
time of the collides the sky vas thisk—approachiag a state
