RAILWAY AOCIDENT AT BARNES.

Yesterda afternoon, about four o'clock, as acci-
dent accursed at the Barn« jogai= of the Linden and
South Western Railway. It appears that • bola, canastag
et an engine and live carriages, bolo*" to the North
London Railway Company, left the new Kingston terminus
of the branch live at 3.30. p.m. The up North London
trains, in order to reach Kew, have to paw Mew the op
Richmond line at • point Dearly midway between the Rat-
like sod Barnes station, over a rather sharp curve, to the
down loop Hoe rails. The 330 train reached the junction
about five minutes to four o'clock in doe coarse, but the
angles bad so sooner pissed the points' than it gave a jump
acid left the rails of the aurve, dragging with it, to a sort
of zig-zag course, two of the foremost earrigro of the teals.
The engine, after quitting the rails, tore up the permuting
way with int wheels, and finally came to a dead atop, !arias
embeded itself so deeply in the ballast that the
driviog sad other wheels could meanly be seen.
Alarmed by the violent shooks of the a, which had
been dragged off the line by the engine (is • had sane
hall, turned over partly on its side), the terrified poseen-
gen baan to shriek loudly ; bat beyond the fright which the
accident nosed, and the natural alarm caused by the
carnage* Lanai the line, oo injuries were sustained or lives
lost. As soon as the accident was weaved from Barnes
station, which is nosily half a mils from the some of the
occurrence, /dr. Ryder, the station master, at cues took
means to intricate the affrighted passeogers from the dis-
abled amigos, and then telegraphed to Mr. Godson, the
trafila superintendent at Name Elms, sad to the locomotive
depot at Twickenham, from which two pines' mein-
sore in the shape of some fifty angiacias sad
platelayers was immediately despatched to / the
spot. At We time the up Richmond line was
blocked by the rimaisda of the train,which was opine the
main up wile., a portion of which bad been to up with Mr
meow force, while the North London wiree was wisp-
plead' blocked by the disabled and embedded ends*, seet
the only 800 open was the down Richmond and the lip
and doers loop-line rails. trader the saparintoodsoos of Mr.
Ryder the wee were ea to work tia remove the two airrii
nee from the curve, and repine the metals ea the tip Kirk-
wood line which bad been torn up. This having bean
effected, the throe trains which had been delayed were
enabled to proceed open their way. Mr. Hill, the divi-
sional iropsnateseisst of the liana maid shortly altorwarik
from Windsor, aod onsisted in restoring the
Waffle, which was effected by parting the up North •
Loodoo trains to the Runes station platform and then
sending them dews the loop Be., and ace term. The ilia
