COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND
BRIGHTON RAILWAY, NEAR REDHILL.

(ram • CUIIIIIMONDENV
Yesterday morning an accident o a serious na-
ture occurred at the Old Brighton Hallway Station at Red-
hill, occasioned by the ten o'clock express train from
Brighton running transversely into a " pick-up " train.
The pick up was being shunted from the down line to the
" up " prior to its being run into the siding, and by some
strange neglect at the time whon the earem train wee due.
The engine and tender of the latter were crippled, the tender
being torn from its bed end twisted round, end the solid
timber on which it rested rent into small particles. Four
of the carriages attached to the express train were much
shattered on the side which came into collision. The first
carriage, which was loaded with luggage, was greatly
broken up, and looked as if a battery of grape shot had
been poured into it. The debris of the pick-up
was scattered about on all sides, and the ground
between the rails of the up line was torn up
for several hundred yards. One of the carriages of the
pick-up was turned over and thrown off the line. Infor-
mation was forwarded by the telegraph to London, and Mr.
Edward Cock, head surgeon at Ony's Hospital, was sent
down by special train to render assistance. la the mean-
time despatches were sent for Mr. Ramis, Dr. Holman,
and Mr. Steele, surgeons, from Reigate, and they promptly
arrived. Considering the injuries sustained by the ear-
' riages, it seems extraordinary that no lives were lost.
Many of the passengers received cuts and contusions, chiefly
oa the head and farm, from the force by which they were
thrown one against the other ; but the may injury bestirred
of a 11•40,111 artan was by a I alba lllNiliell as SII.IIW.
as
Kure, Brighton, who sustained a compound fracture of
the leg, and was attended home by Dr. Holman. A large
body of men under Mr. Rigby, the contractor, were quickly
sot to work, and in the course of a short time rendered the
line fit for traffic.

Your of the men, is., James Clark, guard to the Goode
train ; Brewer, switchman at the goods station ; a.
Lamb, driver to the goods train; and Hallows, stoker
to the goode train, were apprehended and taken la custody
to Reigate, where they were brought before J. W. Fresh.
held, Esq., chairmen ; A. Fraser, Ent., sod Sir B. Brodie.
Mr. Slight, secretary of the railway ; Mr. Hawkins, super-
intendent of the goods department, and Mr. Acton, super-
intendent of the company's police, were in attendance ;
and the parties hating undergone a preliminary 01.11.01illa-
tion, were reinanded upon bail, themselves in Sof. each, and
two sureties each in W.

MINES.
MONDAY EVENING.
There has not been quite so much business in
mining shares to-day, owing to the absence of the
members of the Stock Exchange, but the appearance
of the market is still satisfactory.
Transactions are in some measure checked by the
want of shares, holders being at present very indisposed
to realise. The following sales have taken place :
Wheal Buller, 800 ; West Caradon, 190, 200; South
Frances, 183; Dolcoath, 571, 60, 631; Trefusis,
211, 221; Stray Park, 11; Alfred Consols, 131;
South Caradon, 140; Sidney Godolphin, 81; Men-
dip Hills, 31; Cubcrt, 275. Od.; East Russell, 5 ;
Caradon Wood, 21a., 235.
Owing to the Stock Exchange being closed, there
was no author ised price current of the goid mining and
other foreign shares.
At a meeting of adventurers in the Hallman-
ning and Croft Gothal mines held to-day, the ac-
counts presented showed a balance of 3,8001. against
the mine. A call of 71. 10a. per share was made.
At a meeting of adventurers in the Devon and
Cornwall United Mines, held on the 27th ult., an ao-
count of expenditure and receipts was presenterL
showing a balance of 2011. 4s. 9d. against the mine;
also an account of estimated receipts and payments
before the meeting to bo held in December next,
showing a balance of payments over receipts of
3021. 9s. 11d., and an account of outstanding liabili-
ties, amountisg to 861., were presented and pared.
The mine reports were considered very satisfactory.
At Cefn Cwm Brwyno, the lode in the deep edit
is improving: it is from 2 to 3 feet wide, yielding
25 wets. per fathom, and has a very promising ap-
pearance. In the drift, 10 fathoms above the deep
edit, it is 3 feet wide, producing some ore. In the
24-fathom level west of the engine-ahaft it is 3 feet
wide, orey throughout, and very promising. The
stripes over this level are yielding 1 ton 15 cwt. per
fathom. In the winze below the adit level west of
crosscut, it is 5 feet wide, worth 1 ton 15 cwt. per
fathom; east of crosscut it is worth 11 ton per
fathom. The stopes in the bottom of the level are
worth 11 ton per fathom. The dressing is going on
regularly.
The American Mining Company (United States)
have received advice. from Cuba of a very favour-
able character in regard to the "Buena Esperanza"
and " San Augustine" mines. In the former the
vein is large and rich, and the party is taking out
three tons per day instead of one ton, as by the pre-
vious accounts. In the San Augustine a rich lodo of
black copper is being worked with good results. A
letter from the Superintendent Trustee of the Great
Northern Lead Company at the mines to the Vice-
President gives very glowing accounts of the disco-
veries recently made.
