FLORENCE, JAN. 31.
I write in haste a few lines sooner than I had in-
tended to do, to let you know that the Grand Duke has at
lut taken the not unimportant step of leaving his capital.
He started for Sienna late last night. I perceive from some
of the Loudon papers that it his been supposed there that
this event had taken place some time since. It is true that
it has been for the last week or two in contemplation.

CARLISLE, SUNDAY, Pan. 11.
A dreadful accident occurred on the Caledonian
Railway last night, by which firs lives have been lat.
The mail train left Carhele for the North at 9.16 p.m.
It consisted of an engine and tender, a firacleas carnage,
a mood-dam morisgs, a mixed airtime of firs soa
attestor Perth, three hone-boxes, containing nine hones • fur
Perth, a first-class and a second-class carriage for Edin-
burgh, and a home-box for Buttock.
It proceeded without interruption until it passed the
Ralik& station, about four miles north of Cubits., when
suddenly the engine and tender were diosevered from the
train, the latter getting off the rails. The fist-class carriage
for Glasgow also got off the rails. The second-class carriage
for Glasgow, the travelling post-office, three hone-hoxes, the
mixed carriage for Perth, and the Edinburgh first-clue
carriage were all precipitated down the embankment.
15 feet in height. The mould= carriage wu turned
on its side; the poet-office van ran right through it,
turning it topsy-turvy, and shivering it to stoma.
The greatest consternation prevailed among the passengers,
who were rather more numerous than usual. The night
being moonlight, the guard, the engine-driver, the stoker,
sad those who made a safe exit from the carriages, imme-
diately set to work to explore the extent of the disaster. A
rosseenger was despatched on foot to Carlisle, and on his
arrival Mr. Spies, the superintendent of the station, set out
to the spot with a special engine and a relay of workmen.
In a few hours four men were taken from under the se-
cond-clue carriage, quite deed, and a fifth seriously injured.
They were all placed in luggage-train which pseud from
the north soon afterwards, and, with those of the passengers
who cement= to return, taken to Carlisle. The injured
man had had kb foot cut completely off. When he was taken
to the infirmary, it was found mu nary to amputate his

Mr. Nixon, yeoman, of Ras Burn Hill, was pitched
out of the carriage in which he was sitting, and rolled
down the embankment into a ditch, were he was discovered
by the merest accident, just before the luggage train left the
mane of the catastrophe fur Carlisle.
Mr. Mackintosh, merchant of -Glasgow, and his son, were
a good deal bruised, and were taken to the house 'of their
Mend, Mr. T. Clarke, cunier, of the Crescent, Carlisle.
