This morning, from inquiries instituted as to the I
muse of the lamentable ace dent at the Nine-alms Goods
Depot (a brief amount of which has appeared in the daily
pappeers of this morning) it is supposed that the poinlarnan
Malthouse, who is a very old 'meant of the company,
after having Ist the good' train through the potpie
into the Wine Elms yard, had left them open for
the purpose of allowing ea engine sad train of empty
waggons to peas oat en to the main lime, is °ids/ to
take them to the workahops ea the other side of the lies to
be repaired. For the moment he mast kayo forgotten that
the 4.50 up Teriekeahom train was due, sad thus it
ran into the siding, crashing into the yard engine
with dreadful form. The Twiekeehare train eon-
dated of about eight or :Yee with an
average number of massagers, the drimar of its
wine being John Wilkinson, the firemen John Weak sad
the guard on the van next the locomotive, Dickman. All
these poor fellows stuck bravely at their poets, the driver
and fireman remaining on the engine till the awful crash
OW" when they were injured severely by the fearful ski)*
of the collision. The Portamouth direct up train was
running on the mein line aide by aide with the train to
which the accident occurred, aid the pa augers by this,
who were eye-mitosis« of the catastrophe,describe the
collides as on. of a very fearful nature.
The eagles of the train which ma into the Attica os

while the guard's van was crushed and the succeeding car-
rier:4 much knocked about, many of the passengers being
shakes sad injured.
A large number of ceased alleged injuries were received
by the railway offieioh in the conies ot bast night and this
morels& but it is understood that no optima of any really
serious OWN have been seat in.
All that could be dace for the peassegen was effected
by Mr. Godson and the officials, and the greatest are and
attention was shown to those who were injured in say way,

Ta•Caanutatt 'Roved the adoption of the report and
eremite. He said he was sorry the board had not more
satisfactory accounts to presoak to the proprietors. As
they were all swam, they had passed through
a very trying year, and the loser had bees heavy.
It had bees aeosseary to increase the reserves,
in order to be prepared for all einergeaeles, and
that had of coons diminished proportacathely the seeress of
profit. The looking up of a million and a half sterile,
far that purpose could at but diminish the dirt-
deed. The lessee in 1866, were, be was happy to say,
likely to be naafi. All losses which were known to
have occurred up to the 27th of April were
ieeloded is the last year's theocate. The lasses by
the failure of Bachman. Hamilton, and Co. would sot ex-
ceed 14,0001., sad the total expected loser of 1866 did not
nosed 16,0001. Eltriegeet rules bad bees laid down to pre-
vent loser is future se far as possible ; sad there was MOOG
to expect is the current year a fair average result, certainly
a better ass then last year had yielded.
