A Titans ON FlRE—Yesterday a train took fire
on the Midland Railway between Birmingham and Derby.
It appears that the body of one of the carriages in the
mid-day down train, either through being too heavily
freighted or in consequence of defective springs, sank
down on the wheels, and the friction set the wood on tire.
One of the passengers shouted out of the window, and his
cries being heard by the passengers in the adjoining car-
riages, at length the attention of the guard was attracted.
The train was brought to a stand near Tamwortb, and the
carriage, in which a considerable hole had been burnt,
was detached from it. Some luggage belonging to a lady
was burning, but the damage done was immateriaL
