NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

An accident, attended with fatal coniequencee to
two passengers and injuries to several *then, occurred yes-
terday morning riser he Hampton Janina station oa the
Landes end North Western Railway.
The 9.15 a.m. up train left Simi...haat at its usual hoar
yesterday morning, and proceeded is doe course about a
mile south of the Hampton Junction to • plan oalltd
Berkewell cutting, La passing through which the ash-pan
aad a portion of the ere-boa fell from the engine on to the
Ine,and coming is contact with the frame work of the
brake van, separated the latter from the eagle* and tender,
and thnw it off the up-line arrow the down rails. At the
same instant, and heron the carriages bad become ses-
tinas,. the 9.15 a.m. down-train from Leamington to Bir-
mingham met the cop-train, and Int cowing in contact
with the brake van on the down rails, nest stnck the
leading snood-class carriage end drove it on to the em-
bankment, detaching it from the other carriages and
creating a terrible wreck. Two of the passenger in the
second-clue carriage wen killed on the spot, and a third
was very seriously injured. Several others were more or
less shaken end hurt.
_

The driver of I;i.up-train finding his engine and tender
detached from the brake van, and obeerving the collision
which immediately followed, came on to Coventry—a
distance of four miles, as quickly la possible to obtain ma-
sirtance. From Coventry telegraphic intelligence of the
accident was transmitted to Bkmiaghani, and in a very
short time afterwards a large number of labourers ar-
rived from both these plum, and eamunenced clearing the
line, _ _

The eeeend class carriage, struck by the engine of the
down train, wu found to be driven up the embankment
several feet, and within its broken ..imbers were discovered
the bodies of two unfortunate peastogen quite dead,
and one other seriously hurt. The remaining passengen
I had escaped from the wreck, and were sitting on venous
parts of the line.
The names of the parties killed are Mr. Beddington,
an egdeiss, of Birmingham, and a youth named Floyd,
add to le es his way to college at (Word.
The hentamistame that could be afforded was rendered
by Mr. Mehiantsy the station master of Birmingham, by
whose dimmers the parties most injured were placed on
and ean=royCoventry. The worst cans wu
seat to de at the latter place.
The Nub* et the &Ewa train was not much injured by
the eailisia Though of the rails, and deeply embedded
in the peemseed way, it remained in an erect position,
aid the Mb were so little disturbed that it was soon re-
placed yen the line. The debris having been armed
away, the tulle was not materially interrupted, and
mural of the possougers came on to London shortly after
the aceident, _ _

It is hoped that beyond the casualties referred to nothiog
of a serious character remains to bs told.

The circumstances attending the accident went peculiarly
unfortunate. Had the Leamington train been a few
meads earder or later no scrims casualty would have
occurred.

The similarity of the catastrophe to that which occurred
to the Tidal 'apnea train, near the Ileadoorn Station of the
Bouth•Eastern Railway a few days since, cannot foil to be
remarked, and it is believed they are the only accidents of a
similar nature en record.

---61pt.iiruyeres,supetiatendent of the southern division
of the London and North-Western Railway, left town im-
mediately on receipt of the intelligence of the accident, to
render the miasma in his power to the Injured parties.

EXT6tritloN OP MONIST ORD/111 OrlICES.—The
following notice has been issued by the Postmaster-General.
Minor money order offices will be opened at the undermen-
tioned places on the respective dates named :—Crowland,

hue, earmiounted by a crown mg', by Singe, decorates the
heat.

THE ALLEGED “ WRECKING" ON THE
THAMES.

In reference to this affair (says the Ease Herold)
we are happy M being able to give a direst castadietioa to
much of the statement. The parties who have been the.
tradaced, and even compared with Borneo pirates, are the
boatmen of Southend, in this county, whose deals of
heroism have often been related in this journal. Two of
their vessels only last winter received praises end reward
for their gallantry in saving the lives of nine men from the
rigging of • easel sunk ow the Mouse sand; mad fur years,
through danger end fatigue, they have earned an honest
reputation aertainly far civility and good manner, they
have well earned the respect of the iababiteats sad of all
the visitors I. that wasting-plus. Bishop MAlao who has
always proved the friend of the fishermen of this district,
has lactated himself, with others, on behalf of the boat-
men, whole characters they oonaider have been in this
instance most vilely maligned. They have bad an inter-
, view with Admiral Piney, and explained to him the real
state of the case; but as the men art not likely to be
brought beton a public tribunal, where they might
ate their characters, they have adopted the uuly remedy in
their hands, by making a declaration of facts, which has
been attested Dr. }Wen as a justice of the peace fur
this meaty. The publication of this document, of which
the following is a copy, will, we here, set the public mind
at rest with regard to the real maitre of the transaction in
question, which it is said has been painted in the darkest
colours fur particular purposes by interested parties. In
fact, had aot the boatmen acted as they did, ao portion of
the wreck would have been saved.
The foUewiag is the declaration of the Southend boat-
er:

"That a• Sunday morning, the 26th inst., we discovered
the masts of a schemer shove water on the east end of the
Non sand, aad that u soon as our vessels amid get under
weigh, we pruseded to render assistance.
That when we approached the wreck, we discovered a
whale boat alongside, and three men unbending *ails in
the rigger/. One of the men informed as be was mate of
the vessel ; that she was inured • end that as Mr. Edge-
comb', of Sheerness, was going to sand off a vessel to save
the stoma, we were not to IA her. We replied, that, as
no vessel was in sight coming from Sheenier, and that it
was impossible to sue math in a whale boat, and that as
she was going down in the sand as fast as the tide ebbed,
he had better loot to work fee the benefit of the owners and
underwriters, mad come on board us and take account of
what we took in.

-"TtliWthe .ate than watt es board 050 of oar vessels,
the now Dart, when he gave us all the necessary directions,
sad ha also assisted to teed that easel himself. He
also told as when to dud sissy Wrap we hooked up from
below.

" That while we were ',employed, Mr. Edgecombe and
the septet!' emu off from Sheernem, is another whaleboat.
The latter said, ' What ate you tnth,' that stay he T. We
replied,' We are not; only the seizing'; we are seeding
everythiag down, so that it us go aloft again.' Mr. Zags-
comb. said, ' I want the luau of all these vessels.' We
said we would give them to hiss. He replied, ' No, I'll take
them myself.' He then returned to absentees, taking the
cousin sad crew with him, and neither did he nor the
ors of the vemel blame as or UAW us to
_proceed.
" That as the tide rue It obliged as to desist, and we left
to return home. We then maw a government steamer pro-
ceed towards the smelt, the boats frets which came to us,
and ordered us to take the thiap to Shunter. This we
refused to do, as we remembered similar sues of goods
placed in Mr. Edgeeembe's basis, for which we never re-
ceived any salvage remuneration. We Geld we were on the
way to report the to Mr. Hoy, the receiver, at South-
end and we ly went home, having soldiers put on
booed us by Mr. Edgesenibe's direction.
" That so reoeltig Southend we reported the goods to
the receiver, and delivered to him the milk rigging, and
lIS whims' of cargo, and reinested him to protect our
interests, ups whisk be called in the ocastinard officer at
Senthend, aid required Mr. Edgeconshe to leave the goods
in his maseedy.
" That the sent day, and not till then, we again pro-
ceeded to Me wreck at the proper time of tide, sad saved
46 more pasha's' aad • ten sad • half of iron, which we
also delivered to the receiver according so law.
" That en Toesday, on remelting to the wreck with
diving apparatus, we found a government steamer, who.e
orders were to prevent our ping to the wreck, and we
were in eanuiptesios unable to pave any mere cargo.
" That the stereo taken to Soothed have been most
carefully secured, so that the receiver state' that he never
had charge of any so little injured. Everything was nature'
Si far u pesdble, and not a thread or stay has been out.
The foremast, being unsafe, was cut away, and, in (Laing,
accidentally broke away the mainmast.
" That ao vessels came at all from Sheeran' to render
