SERIOUS COLLSION ON THE LONDON AND
NORTHIWESTERN RAILWAY.

Yesterday morning the 6.15 a. tn. express train
was brought to & standstill between Road and Wolverton.
Upon examinetion by the ellgiOS driver, it was pereelvel
that one of the tubes leading from the boiler to the other
parts of the eosins was on; of repair. The train tau
and Ineek-ria
aisted of some twelve carriages, with guerd
in frost, and guard-van behind. Whilst standing at lode&
and while the engineer and stoker were busily employed in
aeoertsining the CAWS of the stoppage, the plunge,
meanwhile keeping their seats, the soiled of an app
preaching train was heard, and before any
emu mw
03IIld be atloptad for giving timely warning of nger a
impeding Re progress in any way, an engine and trek
came driving into the passenger train at • great Pace.
Fortunately no carriages were attached to the angina, a
the iscreued impetus which would have thus been green
to it must lave occasioned the most serious consequence'
The guards of both vane had a providential wane,
having left their vane and gone to the assistance of du
angle driver. The nu van of the passengertrain is
smashed in a fearful manner, as were also a first-claw
carriage and • seemed-ciass carriage in front of K. no
front guard and break vans were also considerably dammed,

rendered completely unfit for use until they have under
gone complete repair. The rear van IVY so badly crushed
es to be unfit to travel to the neat station, ad
was turned off the line and down the embankment. TY
force of the eolliaion would appear to have been chiefly fib
at the two estremitins of the train, tbe paeseegere in the
central portions escaping with a few bruises merely. Is
the first and mood class carriage referred to there were crlf
• few passengers, but three of these were rather seriously

second clue carriages complained of being badly injured,
and were sent back by the nest up train to Duda
The remainder of the passengers escaped with a sewn
jolting and sundry cuts of the face and body. It appals
that the engine that drove into the passenger train IA
been up to London with • train from Birmingham oe
previous night, and was working its way does
to Birmingham, and should in the ordinary course d
things have brought an iron stone train from Mislead!' b
Birmingham at 9.43 yesterday morning. The driest d

cautioned that there wu a passeoger train in front of •
