FALL OE A RAILWAY BRIDOL—On Monday t three-
niched bridge on the Buckinghamshire Railway, and across
Bath-lane, Buckingham, fell with a loud emit. The abut-
ments only remain ; the rest became a heap of ruins. A rum.
Ming noise was at some distance heard, like thunder, which
was immediately followed by a dense cloud of duet, and on
this clewing ofi"the week of that which had been wondered
a specimen of good wnrsmanshio displayed itself. Fortu-
nately nn person was hurt. Ibis wis providential, as the
workmen bad b..en passing and repeating with loaded lip-
waggons during the previous part of the day. When the w”ric.
men returned from dinner it was observed that the bridge hail
sunk about a foot over one of the piers, and the precaution we
taken to place a min to watch and prevent persons fr'm
passing under it. The cause was the sinking of the founds
tion of ono of the piera.
