AOCIDINT TO 21111 COWL AND YOIJOHAL RAILWAY
Luts—At an early boor on Friday mornbag a severe gale
of wind from E.&E.. accompanied- by heavy rain, set in,
which continued until eight o'clock a.m. The sea was driven
by it op the river, and the low lands along its banks were
flooded. In the course of the morning the waves which rolled
up Loch Rehm beat furiously against the embankment on
which the rails of the Cork and 'roughs! Railway inlaid,
and the embankmentgave way in two places at the Cork side
of Dunkettls•bridge, opposite Blaokrock Castle Lighthouse.
Fearing the storm might have damaged the line before the
first up-train was started from Queenstown, which line
joins the Youghal to the east of Dunkettle, a pilot eosins,
with eleven men on it, was sent up, and when it arrived near
the first break in the line, to save their being engulfed in
the chasm, the driver ran the engine off the line, and lm.
bedded it in the earth. This caution on Iris part saved the
live, of all on the engine. The engine was shortly after
replaced on the rails, and a number of men have been at
work repairing the breaches. The traffic ass impeded for
some time, but it is now partially resumed, the
being conveyed to and from lloakettle by horse=
and between the latter plaos and Youghal and Queenstown
by locomotive trainee. —Bawaders' Nem.

A FUGITIVE ENGINE ON THE CALEDONIAN RAIL-
WAT.—An extraonlioary occurrence took place on the Cale-
donian Railway recently which bad very nearly been the
cause of a fearful accident. It appears that early en the
morning of that day an engine was detached from au up lug-
gage train et Beattock Station, and shunted on to the down
line for the purpose of taking in water. When this operatics
was completed, the driver, instead of going to the points and
returning to his proper line, put on stem sad started for
the south alone. The fireman, who was on the platform,
*seeing that if the engine kept on it would inevitably meet
the down limited mail face to face, lost no time in
getting ready another engine, which fortunately had the
steam up, and started in chaos on the proper or "lap"
line. After a race of 13 miles, he overtook the truant
engine near Lockerhy. end on getting alongside, leaped (roan
one engine to the other, both going at the rate of 15 or 20
miles an hour at the time. He had just time to reverse the
engine, wake up the driver, who was Weep, and then run
to the adjacent signal post, when the limited mail came
thundering along from Carlisle at 40 miles an hour. It was
fortunately stopped by the signal in time when within a
few yards of the runaway engine. Had the fireman hesi-
tated as to the proper course to pursue, even for one
minute, a very serious accident and loss of life must have
occurred. —Corliale Journal.

LOUIB NAPOLEON'S ANTIQUARIAN STUDIG9.—The
Em r, who for some years followed hie *ladies at the
of Ste. Anne at Augsburg, sent, some time ago,
as has been stated, • collection of valuable works to the
libraries of that establishment sad of the town. To a
letter of thanks addressed to him by Dr. Metzner, director
of the college, the Emperor sent the following reply:
" Palace of the Tuileries, Feb. Zl,—Monsieur le Recteur :
I have heard with pleasure that the choice of the works
which I sent has appeared satisfactory. Those who occupy
themselves with the study of antiquities may, I hope,
fled advantage in consulting them. As to the praima you
give me on the subject of the map of the Gauls, I manor
accept them, because I have had nothing whatever to do
with the inquiries and surveys on which it was draw. up.
Moreover, without in any way iiisputins the merit of its
authors, I do not give my entire approbation to their
work, and I am in award oo that point with the savants
of Germany who point out mottle errors In it. I have
Won delighted at this fresh opportunity of renewing the
remembrance of • country for which I shall never mass to
fed the most lively sympathy, and I offer you, Monsieur
le Recteur, the assurance of my moot friendly sentiments.
NAPOLEON."
