ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Great consternation was occasioned this morning in Use
laighbourhood of Camden-town, io consequence of the re-
pot of so explosion resembling that of a roll of girth-
It was soon made known that the sound
pr...ceeded from the Camden-road station of the
N.krth London Railway, and thousand' of persons
ewe quickly on the spot. From inquiries made at the
nation it appears that the 9.45 up train from Chalk-farm
left there punctually at the time appointed, and arrived
st Camdeo-road at about 9.50. The train was
drawn to the extreme end of the platform, and
fer some purpose the "coupling-irons" were de-
ta,hed from the engine. No sooner was that done
Lan the boiler of the engine exploded with a fearful crash,
!ending terror among all who were near the spot. It should
ie inentiooed that at the time of the accident the head
cl the cosine WY towards the down line satiate,
and the force of the explosion completely ravened
its position—bearing away a portion of the platform and the
tide of the railway bridge, and precipitating the engine j
tato the roadway below in Randolph•street. The !
Porter was told by an eye-witores that the engine
turned completely over in its descent, and it is a
!makable fact that on reaching terra firma it fell
la it, proper position—the wheels underneath. Fortunately '1
there was no one passing under the bridge at the time,
ntlierwise the result would hare been fatal. Only a minute,
however, previously a horse and cart was driven by. The
weight of the engine is estimated at about 28
