TEA NUNEATON RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

we yesterday published a short amount of the
serious accident which occurred to the 9 S.M. down train
from Euston-square station, es it wear peeing &mg the
Trent Valley Railway near Nuneaton. We are now Informed
that the train consisted oht carriages, and we made up
as follows . —The bed-guards break van, an Edinburgh
fire-clans, a Glasgow ret-daes, a mond-class break car-
riage, two Manchester composites, a Huddersfield eompoidte,
and the second guard's break-van. The engine and tender
did not leave the rails, but ran on a few hundred yanla, end
then pulled up. The head-guard's van was the fiat to break
away, and this rolled over several times in its passage into
• field below where it received the shock of the succeeding
first-clue carriage, which fell upon It, and was oompletely
broken up. All the other carriages were more or Ism shat-
tered, except the Huddersfield coropodte and the emend
guard's van, which cause to a standstill within a short dis-
tance of the scene of the accident.
_

There were neatly one hundred passengers in the train,
sad of this number only a very small proportion indeed seem
to have been injured. The catastrophe was witneeeed by a
greet many persons, and assistance wee soon upon the spot.
The extent of the disaster was not at era readily mosetaiseri,
but as soon as the debris could be removed, it was hand that
three fatal casualties had occurred, sad that several other
were more or less injured. The authorities from
!IrtinZ ton station were early in attendance. and Mr. Naomi
end Mr. Boerne, medical g oilmen resident at that place,
were immediately summoned to give the aid of their _ pro-
fessional skill. The best means at hand were at once taken
for the relief of them who were hurt, and, under the are of
the medical men, the cases which would bear removal
were at once sent on to the hotel at Nuneaton. One gentle-
men, who was more severely injured than the rest, it was
deemed prudent to detain at a small inn in the village of
Attleborough, where he still remains.
The wires of the electric telegraph were broken by the
falling over the embankment, sad the time name-
cessZleCt in their repair occasioned some delay in sending
inieliigenee to London. It was about half-past eleven when
the saident occurred, and no news of it reached Huston
until nearly four o'clock. As soon as the catastrophe was
known in London a telegraphic mealtime was sent to Man-
chester, directing Dr. Harrison and other eminent medical
men of that city to repair at once to the scene of the sccident,
for the purpose of rendering every assistancein their power
to the local medical men. Dr. Harrieon arrived at Attle-
borough shortly after eight o'clock, and joined Mesas. Nason
and Bourne in consultation.
Our Manchester correspondent writes:

It amen that the cow, the oaths of this accident, had
recently lost its calf, sad was pastured in a narrow debt
by the side of the railway, together with a horse ; and than
are witnesses who, shortly before the accident, saw the laths
animal chasing the cow up sod down the meadow. The pre.
gumption is that the cow, becoming excited, jumped over •
wide ditch and strong fence which separate the held from the
railway and thus got upon the line. A gatekeeper on duty
near to the spot saw the animal immediately after she was
upon the railway and chased her for some distance, but
while in the act of Kling so he heard the sound of the sp-
poaching down express train, when be suddenly halted end
exhibited his danger signal. The cow along the
"six feet" towards Rugby, sad when she saw. the Main
approaching she calmly turned round sad stood Wli
between the metal. of the down train with bar beck towards
the engine. In this position she was observed by emend
pythons to be knocked down and run over. It would appear,
however, that while a portion of her caroms theme en-
tangled with the gear of the engine and tender thent=
bones remained upon the line, and presented an o
to the guard's break immediately behind the tender,
which was thus thrown off the rails, and the coupling
irons snapping by the shock the whole of the carriages, save
the two lest, toppled over. and fell in one indismizeinale math
down the embankment, which at this point of the railway is
about ten feet high.
The coroner ter the district having received information of
the accident and its fetal result, caused a highly respectable
jury to be empannell,d yesterday afternoon, at the Bull's
Head Inn, Attleborougb, for the purpose of investigating
the cause of the catastrophe. There ere two magistrates end
one clergyman upon the panel, and all the circumstances of
the are will be hilly inquired into, though at premed it ap-
pears impossible to attribute blame to any person. The dunce
of the jury yesterday were confined to viewing and ident-
ing the bathes, and inspecting the scene of the accident, altar
which the inquiry was adjourned. While viewing the locale
of the accident, the attention of the jury was called to the
state of the hedge over which
the cow jumped on to the
railway, end it was unanimously pronounced to be a fence
capable of resisting any ordinary amount of prorate, Inds-
ixadently of the additional protection afforded bya deep ditch
on the field side.

THE ANUIRS OP MMIII. CULTIST.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of depositors in
the firm of Messrs. Calvert, the eminent brewers, convened
by circular and Advertisement, was hold at the London
avern, at which about 200 pima ware yeaeint, including
several females.

'ill.:W. SMALLIT, (Secretary to the Inoorperated Society
of Licensed Victuallers) read the advertisement convening
the meeting, four which it appeared that the object of the
meeting was " to consider the lest course to be adopted with
respect to the proposition of Mews. Felix Calvert and Co.,
to carry on the business of the brewery under inspectorship,
and with a view of avoiding litigation, and securing payment
of principal and interest. At the request of several of the
depositors, the chair will be taken by Mr. William Smalley,
Secretary to the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victualiers."
The meeting, he went on to say had been got up very and- '
denly, owing to a visit made by himself and some other gen-
tlemen to Mews. Calvert's on Saturday. They thought that
as the depositors were the largest creditors they had a right
to know how the firm proposed to meet the interest of 4 per
cent., and the amount due, in two or three years. From the
accounts fbrnithed by Messrs. Quilter and Ball it appeared 1
that the deposits amounted to 326,4361. 16s. 2d. ; and the
amount of secured claims wee 266,1311. ; makimo total
bao.atall
696,6661. Upon looking at the foot of the t
they would find that the private estates of the Messrs. Cal-
vert were completely exhausted, so that nothing oould be
derived from them for the depositors. The trade accounts
due amounted to 144,6011. 16s. 6d. • and altogether the an-
nual sum required to meet the interim at 4 per cent.. includ-
ing mortgages, would he 29,4421. When asked how they
meant to pay this interest, end at the same thee to pay off
claims in two or three yeses, Mews. Calvert said they peo7
posed to effect savings in the 'revery teats extent of 21.1,0001.
They proposed to save 6,0001. • year in malt;
1,0001 in isinglass ; 2,5001. in stable
1,0001. in annuities, 7,0001. in public-house 1111:=aild
2,6001. in salaries. He would not himself say whether these
sums would be saved or not, but the meeting could drew
their own conclusions. The object of the meeting wee to
avoid bankruptcy—(hear, bear)—and he hoped they bad all
come there prepared to deal fairly by each other. The affair
could only be driven into bankruptcy by mamma, and he
trusted they would all be willing to avert such a misfortune,
and to take share and share alike, for an enormous depreda-
tion must attend a eels, if one were forced on. The only
way to retrieve affairs appeared to him to be to put the
brewery into such a stele as to maks it worth while for
wealthy partners to come in and extinguish the debt. The
Chairman then read the following, upon which he commented
