GERMANY.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.
The heavy fall' of snow during the last two or
three days have interrupted the regular communica-
tions, and there are no later news from Vienna
than of Wednesday.
From private Vienna letters which I have received
I learn that the police measures against parties sus-
pected of agiotage have not been suspended, but
were, on the contrary, daily increasing. When
your correspondent left Vienna, on Tuesday, nearly
four hundred persons had been forced to quit Vienna
and many of them the Austrian dominions.
From my former letters it may have been
assumed that the measures of the police were
confined to persons accustomed to visitthemonev and
corn markets for the purposes of speculation. They
certainly began with the brokers, but they have
since been extended to persons of other classes and
professions, and of both sexes. Bankers, merchants,
tradespeople, clerks, manufacturers, rail way labourers,
literary men, midwives, lawyers, and medical men—
in fact-hardly one of the classes which live by honest
industry is unrepresented in the small army of per-
sons expelled. Among them are born subjects of
Austria, citizens of Vienna in the full possession of
the civic rights and privileges ; others have acquired
the rights of citizenship by long residence. In most
cases the characters of the expelled will bear the
strictest scrutiny ; their business has been carried
on in a straightforward, honest manner ; they have
paid the heavy taxes imposed by the despotic go-
vernment without murmuring, and have submitted
to the degradation of the internal police system of
spying and watching without opposition. let these
individuals, many of them possessing only the means
of living in the most humble style, are expelled
because the officials of the police choose to suspect
them of improper speculations. Apart from the
ignorance of the most simple economical truths,
which almost every child in England knows, which
is displayed in these measures, the monstrous tyranny
towards honest individuals is beyond anything that
has ever before been perpetrated even by the Aus-
trian govern men t. Already have the necessary
economical results of such measures appeared. Silver
shows an increased tendency to rise, though the
business transacted is of no importance, and
corn of all kinds, with potatoes, has
risen full four and five per cent. Though
the supposed conspirators have been expelled,
the object they were accused of endeavouring to at-
tain remains not merely in the same, but actually in
a worse position. Chevalier Weiss cannot under-
stand that he is to blame ; he persists in attributing
the result to the existence of conspiracies, and pur-

sues his uprooting measures with increased fierceness.
The protests, which to my astonishment several
bankers have really ventured to make, are not
listened to; the protectors are even suspected of being
connected with the conspiracies. That more than
one banker has threatened to close his business—l
can name the well-known house of Stamctz and
Mcier—produces no impression on the wilful head of
the police, or on either of the ministers.
The commercial and exchange report, which is pub-
lished every day, and which merely mentioned
the fact of several bankers having protested,
, has been threatened with suspension, and its editor
and proprietor with imprisonment. In any other
country such a notice would be deemed likely to calm
the excitement and terror consequent upon such
wholesale police expulsions, and the party making it
would be thanked for his services. Other persons
who have had interviews with Chevalier Weiss on
the subject have been informed by him that his mea-
sures were necessary for the preservation of the
monarchy, and would be proceeded with at all risks.
Chevalier Weiss has, however, felt himself obliged to
make some attempt to calm the public, and accord-
ingly the official lithograph brings an article on the
subject. It informs the public that only unprin-
cipled speculators have been removed from the city.
(Ihm; your expelled correspondent belong to the un-
principled speculators?) For getting rid of these the
public ought to be grateful to the Chevalier Weir. It is
not intended, it says, to interfere with the limitsof Luna
fide transactions. The article concludes with a sonle•
what unintelligible hint of some plan for effectually
putting an end to the agiotuge and raising the credit
of the government. I can only interpret it into a 've-
rnal for changing the nature of the bank. This in-
terpretation is justified by articles in the Lloyd and
Presse, which advocate a reform of the bank, by the
removal of the management from the hands of the
great bankers, and by the establishment of joint
banks in the provinces. Both these journals are on
this subject inspired by Chevalier Weiss himself, who
having so successfully put a stop to the momentary
agiotage in corn and silver, aspires to the post of
finance minister, and contemplates re-establishing
the sunken credit of the empire by alterations in the
batik regulations.
While the Vienna press is thus discussing pro-
punts for new financial measures, the finance
minister himself appears to have suddenly decided
on very different plans. His agents have ceased to
operate on change for sonic days; he has not sold
any bills on London or Augmburg, but would seem,
on the contrary, to desire that these exchanges
should retain their present high figure. Speculation
is rife as to his intentions. Same time ago, it was
reported that ho intended to make a loan out
of Austria to be paid in silver; subse-
quently, that he was about to issue a
forced loan at home; silver ornaments and
household utensils of all kinds were to be seized for
the melting-pots and presses of the Austrian Mint.
Some foundation there certainly was for these reports.
Plans of the most absurd, complicated, and dangerous
character are daily proposed and considered in the
ministry of finance. r rem all that I have been able
to learn on the subject it appears certain that Baron
Krauss is at this moment engaged in deliberating on
a plan of a most pernicious character, and which, if
carried out, will be equivalent to an act of bank-
ruptcy. lie has for some time past been silently ac-
cumulating silver coin. This is the secret hoard to
which the Presse alluded some weeks ago, and his
agents have refrained from bearing the market, in
order that the store of government silver may bo
employed to more advantage. he premium on silver
is to be maintained at any risk. Possessing this
fund, Baron Krauss is contemplating paying the in-
terest due on the fifteen or sixteen hundred million
florins of national debt in silver, not at par, but at
the premium which it bears in the market. As silver
now stands, at 24 per cent. premium, he would pay
four silver florins for five of paper, disposing at one
sweep by this measure of one-fifth of the whole inte-
rest, and if the plan is carried out—if it succeed and
is continued—of the esule proportion of the whole
debt. It is the same kind of proceeding practised by
fraudulent tradesmen or merchants who desire
to get rid of their creditors at the loss
of their character. Such a measure would not
be so iniquitous as it really is if the
whole of the national debt were held in Austria.
The premium on silver w.aild, to a certain extent,
equalise the difference, but as nearly one-half is held
at Amsterdam, and a great portion in other cities of
the continent where silver is at par, the loss inflicted
by Baron Krauss on the holders of Austrian stock
would be fully what! have stated. Perhaps the pre-
mature publication of so dishonest a proceeding may
avert its consequences. If Baron Krauss contem-
plates carrying such measures into effect, it would be
infinitely more open to declare at once a national
bankruptcy. The machinery of the government,
especially of the police, is so extensive, that the mea-
sures which would be necessary after a declaration of
bankruptcy, to procure food for the people, might
easily be enforced. At this moment the government
is purchasing grain wherever it can. Perhaps these
purchases are forerunners of the bankruptcy. Sooner
or later, direct or indirect, the crash must come. It
can only be delayed, not averted.

HANOI ER.
THE NEW MINISTRY.
Our Berlin correspondent, writing on Nov. 24,
save—The news from Hanover is somewhat sur-
prising. A change of ministry there, at least so
immi • tely after the We King's death, and before
he is yet buried, was not expected. Yet on the 22nd
the Muuebaussen cabinet received their dismissal.
But a few days ago the new King declared in the
patent announcing his accession to the throne—" I
retain in their present posts all my civil servants,"
, and before a week elapses the chief of these servants
are dismissed. The royal pledge with respect to the
constitution, that he would maintain it in its inte-
grity from all violation, will probably have a dura-
tion equally limited. A Scheele ministry is (as you
know) already appointed, consisting of IL Scheele,

Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs; NI. Bowies
for the Interior ; Windthorst for Justice; Back•
meister for Worship ; General Brandin for the War
Department; the Finance Ministry remaining as yet
vacant. With the " new organisation," that is,
with a parliamentary representation not neutralised
by the simultaneous existence of " estates," it sisnas
now to be all over. The new ministry are known to
favour the Ritter party; and though the Diet may
have declared, as certain papers assert, on receiving
the remonstrances of the late King aga;nst their
"inhibitorium," that it tan no longer enkrtain
the complaints of the Ititterschaft, still that party
must triumph by this change of ministry.

THE FATAL COLLISION ON THE LONDON

AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

THE INQUE3T,.

WEEDON, Nov. 2.5.
To-day, at one o'clock, Mr. Peter Edward hicks,
coroner for the district of Northampton, held his court at
the Globe Inn, to inquire into the death of Mr. James
Currie, aged years, • market gardener and nurseryman,
lately residing at Upper Claptou. The jury having been
81101r11, proceisled to view the body of the deceased.
The body having been identified,
Mr. Charles Livock, station-master at Weedon, said, it is
my duty to attend to the dispatch of an train. stopping at
that station. On Saturday afternoon the cattle train arrived'
at Weeilun at 10 minutes after 3 o'clock, and stopped, in
consequence of the engine being unable to take it on. As
soon as 1 heard this I telegraphed back to Rugby for
another engine, which arrived in due course, but before that
engine arrived, a coal-train came up from Rugby; • very
few minutesafterathe'M arket Ilarborough train.sl ined tately
the new engine arrived it was attached, and the Market
Ilarborough train proceeded on its journey. I then
brought the coal train up to the top points, on the south
aide of the station, and was in the act of shunting this train
from the up to the down line when the collision took place.
The signals to atop had all been duly exhibit d. The dis-
tante from the main signal-post to the tail of the passenger
train was about 300 yards. There is an additional ►ignal,
galled the 11,11i11:11., signal, which the policeman at the main
signal has the management of by 111(.4115 of a wire, and he
tan turn it off or on while he is at the main sipwl. 'f he
distance between the signals is 467 yards. Coroner—What
is the duty of a station-master with regard to the starting
of trains? Witness—lt' a train leaving a station be •
heavy goods train, a station -master would not • e jaw,
tilled in starting another train in less than ten
minutes. But if the first train were a light passenger one,
another might follow in live minutes. Much is left to
the diseretion of the station.master in this matter. As •

general rule passenger trains are to take precedence of lug-
gage trains, and goods trains must not be started from any
station when passenger trains are due. This regulation,
however, is subject to modifications agreeably to the circum.
stances of the trains, the state of the weather, the weight
of the load, and the character of the engine. You will
thus sec that considerable discretion is left to station-
masters. The engine-driver of • luggage train has
also positive instructions not to approach • station at a
spsrd esceeding t. a miles en hour, and he is directed,
when within a quarter of Is mile of the station, to
blow his whistle twice, as • signal to the braltesman
to put on his brake. We never allow one train to fol-
low another closely without giving due precautions to the
engine-man. We give him the time the preceding train
left, and tell him to he cautious bow he proceed.. The
cattle train, which arrived at Weedon at 40 min. past 3,
was much later than usual on Saturday. It does not stop
at Weedon except to take in water. The usual tune of the
train passing Weedou is half-past 12. The 4 p.m. passen-
ger train from Rugby, was • few minutes late on Saturday.
la came into the station at 37 minutes past 4, the proper
time being 4.45 p.m. It had been outside the station some
few minutes owning to the stoppage of the other trains.
I do not know bow many persons were injured,
but as far as I can judge, there were sixteen or seventeen
who had braises and eats. It was about • quar-
ter past three when I telegraphed to Rugby fur an engine
for the Market Harborough train. Thu average time
for a cattle-train to some from Rugby to Weedon is about
three-quarter of an hear. We have no siding at Weedon
for trains, only a small slip for carriages and waggons to be
attached detached. By Mr. Martin, • solicitor of London,
prevent on behalf of deceased's relatives : Thirty passenger
trains pass Weedon daily, out of which 10 down and 12
tip trains stop at the station, and there are also about
13 luggage trains each way during the day and night.
This is irrespective of any special trains. Sme of the
Iste trains stop at Weeding, and some do not. If
we had • siding at Weedon, and anything were to happen
to a train we could place it there out of daager ; but we
have no siding. The cattle train which ran into the pas-
wager train, was a special train from Rugby to Thrap-
Men. We knew it was owing. It was 'swelled on the
coal train, and also on the 4 p.m. passenger train from
Rugby, by a signal board attached to the cad of the train.
The witness was subjected to a further croer-examination
by Mr. Martin, with a view to show that the quantity of
train at the Weedon station, ea Saturday, woe far too
many, and that the accident had the arises. The witness
denied this, and expressed his Weise that had ordinary
we been exhibited on the part of the driver of the last up
train no calamity would have happened—By Mr. Hayes,
Waiter of the company: The previous passenger train
peed the Weeslos statism at three o'clock. The next train
would be due at 6.13 p.m. So that although we have
twesty-two trains daily passing Weedon station we have
only one between 3 p.m. sad 0.16 p.m.—Mr. Hayes (to the
coroner) : I put thaw questions in because the witness
has been subjected to • erowexamination, apparently with
• view to show that the hoe was choked up with trains.
—Cower : We have it is evidence that there were throe
trains at the station when the accident oteurred.—Mr.
Mayes: Ti., that is true; bat the accident was quite inde-
pendent of them. To the Witness: Presuming that the
proper signals were up, If the driver of the extra cattle
train had paid attention to toss, do you think the acci-
dent could have happened?—Witness: Certainly not. I
&Maid have no fear of allowing • train to femme where
the 4 p.m. passenger train stood a whole day with the
*pals on as they were. It is a thing that frequently
occurs. The distance from where you get the first sight of
thewxiliary signal and the end of the train that was run
Into was 1,060 yards.
Charles l'assoes, guard to the train leaving Thyley on
Saturday last, at 4.23 p.m., said—We were stopped by sig-
nal below the station punctually at the time we were due.

scribed. The cattle train was out of sight when the acci-
dent occurred. The coal train might have been in motion,
but it was moving very slowly.
Medical evidence as to the cause of death having been
given,
George Bower, a policeman in the employ of the London
and North Western Company, said : I was fireman of an en-
gine convoying some cattle from Rugby to Thrapston, on
Saturday afternoon. We had 16 cattle trucks attached,
and the brake van made 17. The cattle trucks were all
idi. Ido not know exactly what time we left Rugby. I
dm not carry a watch, the engine driver does. We did not
Mop at any place between Rugby and Weedon station. I
ma sure I cannot tell you at what rate we were going, one
how long we were coming from Rugby to Weedon. We
did not slacken speed anywhere until we reached the As-
kew-bridge, about a mile from the Weedon station. The
driver then shut the regulator. That was before we
saw the signal. When we saw the signal the driver
whistled for the brakesman to put on his brake,
and I put on the tender brake at the seine time.
This did not appear to slacken our speed any, or
very little. As soon as we found our speed was not slack-
ened, and when we saw the men signal on, the driver di-
ectly reversed his engine. This slackened the train •
little, but just as we got to the main signal poet, the engine'
Sew into forward gear, and the train went on at full speed
again. The regulator was now open, anal the driver could
nut shut it again. This prevented the train being stopped.
Coroner—What was the cause of the engine going out of
gear?
Witness—l don't know. The engine-driver examined
the engine before he started on Saturday, and so did the
foreman of the locomotive department. I have worked
with the same engine before and consider she was in good
working condition on Saturday as far as I know.
Coroner—Do you usually travel with cattle trains at the
rate of 2.5 miles an hour. Witness-1 am sure I don't
know whether there is any specified time for special cattle
trains. I believe all cattle trains ore timed for about 22 or
23 miles an hour. By Mr. Haves—The regulator was shut
at the ';Askew-bridge by Brockhale and Pinney. There
are notches into which the reversing lever is put to keep
her from running out of gear. I believe that notch was in
order. The driver kept has hand on the handle. He opened
the regulator and then the tackle Hew into forward gear, the
handle flying out of his hand. I have tried this myself, and
frequently found the same result; the handle being
knocked out of my hand. This happens generally every
trip; and I always keep a small piece of suck to assist
me in keeping the tackle in props gear. The signals
into Weedon station were all on, denoting caution. We
saw them distinctly as we approached. We joined the train
at Rugby. The number of our engine was 67. I have
been on her before, and have never known the reversing
gear to fly out so that we could not bring it back into its
former place.
Thomas Robinson examined—l am a brakeman in the
employ of the London anal Nortn-Western Railway
Company, and was engaged in the train front Rugby
to Terapston. We had 16 cattle waggons attached aml
the brake made 17. The waggons were all full or cattle.
I don't know the weight of the train. We left Rugby at
4.10 p.m., and when the train came to a stand at Weedon
I looked at my time-piece and found that it was 4.39 p.m.
I think we travelled at about 25 miles at, hour. The driver
shut off the steam at the Askew bridge; that is before we
come in sight of the signals. I don't remember the speed
having been slackened in passing the Crick Station. 1 saw
a passenger train, that front Rugby, before we left. It was,
I think, about 9 or 10 minutes before we started.—Coroner .
It is, I scPPose, your duty to obey the driver's signal, and
put on the brake ? Witness : It is my duty to look out for
the auxiliary signal, and, if the green light is on, then the
real, or danger signal, is seen to be on at the station.—
Coroner: Was the green light on at the auxiliary post
when you approached the station on Saturday ?—‘ k-
nees : It was.—Coroner: What did you do ?—Witness :
As soon as I saw it I put on my brake, and at the
awe moment the driver blew his whistle twice to warn

me to do so.—Coroner: Did this 'Lawn the speed of the I
train? Witness: Yes, it did slightly.—Coroner: In what
state were the rails? Witness: Rather greasy, I think.—'
Coroner: I suppose you cannot see what the driver does to'
his engine where you are ? Witness : No, but I can see
whether the steam is shut off by looking at the chimney of
the engine. I saw it was shut off after we passed the Askew-
bridge.—Coroner: Can you ascertain when the driver re-
verses his engine ? Witness : Yes, we can feel the motion
when the engine is reversed.—Coroner: Did you feel
this motion on Saturday ? Witness : 1 did not, and be-
tween the auxiliary and the main signal post the
train started afresh. After we came to a stand still, I
went hack to protect the line, and afterwards proceeded with
my train to Blisworth. I did not see our engine examined.—
I kept my break on all the way front the Askew bridge up
to the time of the collision. Before we came to the Askew
bridge we were travelling, I should say, at about 25 miles
an hour. After we got through it, 1 found that the train
was going at such a speed that the driver could not possibly
atop at the station. I have a copy of the rules supplied to
all servants of the comany. itule 2- is as follows :
n Engines running alone, or taking luggage or empty wag-
gons, must not exceed the speed of ti miles an hour, without
distinct orders in each ease, or some urgent necessity."
Mr. Mayes—Well, were you sot aware of this rule ?
The witness made no answer.

The Coroner said it had been sworn that the extra cattle
train left Rugby at 4.10 p.m., and that it had arrived at
Weldon at 4.39 p.m. The distance was 131 mike, and, if
the time was correct, the rate of travelling must have been
considerably greater than 26 miles an hour, taking into
consideration the getting up and sacking the ;peed.
William Gordon, a policeman ia the employ of the
London and North Western Company, said—l remember
the engine of a cattle train breaking down on Saturday
afternoon. I put on the up signal to prevent other trains
running in at Weecon station. Kept it on until after the
cattle train ran into the passenger train. I could see from
my position about 200 yards in the direction of Rugby. I
saw the cattle train come in. I was at that time about 230
yards back from my signal, and could, from where I stood,
see the auxiliary signal, which is about 200 yards lower
down, nearer Rugby. I should say that the cattle
train was coming about five or six miles an hour
from the auxiliary signal. I think the brakes were on.
The rails were not very slippery. The passenger trains had
been at the station about fourteen minutes when the cattle
train ran into her. I was at my signed post at the time the
passenger train arrived, and I did not note the exact time.
Coroner—l have no more witnesses on my list. Is any
one else in attendance ? . .

Mr. Bedford, the chief of the company's police, said the
driver of the engine was in attendance.
The Coroner thought it better not to call him at present.
Ile should require some evidence as to the state of the
engine, and also as to the starting of the trains from
Rugby, and as it would be impossible to close the inquiry
that night, it would be, perhaps, better to adjourn at once
until k riday next.
Another of the sufferers is in a very dangerous state, and
fears are entertained that he will not recover. This is the
labourer who sustained such severe injuries on the legs and

thighs.
Captain Huish and Captain Bruyeres are both very se•
verely shaken, and neither of them were able to attend the
inquiry.
Colonel the Hon. Douglas Pennant, with his wife, Lady
Louisa Pennant, were travelling in their own carriage on
the train to which the accident occurred. The gallant
colonel had several of his front teeth loosened; and Lady
Louisa, who is in an interesting situation, has suffered meet
severely from the shock. Their servant, it is hoped, is gra.
dually recovering.
