QUZIN'iI PRINTERS' PATENT.—The committee

printers' patent tor printing the It scriptures met mew-
day, Mr. Baines in the their. other members of the
committee are—Mr. Bright, Lord R. Cecil, Mr. Clive, Mr.
Crostiliir C. Douglas, Mr. W. Rear; Mr. 13. Ewing,

end explained some podium of the evidsaa given by him
darner the but melon, towels, ea improved styleand mode
of printing, end predated sa edition of Dr. Cotton's Fenn
Gospels as an example of what be meant. Mr. Watson, of
the firm of Nesbit and Co., publishers, Berners-Brest, solid
he believed that the non-renewal of the Quern's Festers'
patent would fectlitate the pabliestioa of the satkonsed ver-
sion of ttio &Me. He did not think such • change would
materially promote the eireulallen of Roman catholic or nal-
tarian versions. With proper precautions the probability
would be the insuring of extreme soeureq, which would
bettoese as much a matter of competition as beautiful paper
sad printing. If the Ire& should be thrown open be bad
no doubt tbst his own firm and acme other exteneve linos in
London would enter intocompedtke for the publiostloa of the

with which he was connected wee 17. Tb.. cheaper Widmer

opinion the. Qualm's printers' patent ought not to be renewed,
but the pubboenon of the scriptures ought to be thrown open
to compoltoo, subject to guarantees for socaniey. The ens-
mines then adjourned.

COUNTIgB RA IL WAY.
We have now the details of the above dineetree It
some that a fast train left Cambridge, se male at
wen o'clock yesterday morning. It ace bled, be-
sides engine, tender, and break via, of hut and
seeond OW. tardier* only, they being well filled. Revile
celled at the mimes Intermediate 'Micas between Cam-
bridge sad Ponder's-end, the train arrived at the latter place
da err as passible at he proper time, 9.10. Leaviag that
station, the
retrain aped upon its way, and not halving to
stop unto it reached Stratford. was, in nest-
ing the Tottenham station at about 10.20, proceeding at the
rate of between 96 and 40 miles an Lour. •At this period the
surviving panangers affirm the train to eradiatece in •
=raanaer, seed sheen a lend ash wee
followed ybyy shriske and peens. The greatest con-
ateneation prevailed • sad as scam ars the train had come to •
stand-still the unlajired pmengere rushed from their car-
riages. A shocidag sea presented itself : the engine, tender,
and some of the corrieges were breed upon each other, while
the most piteous greens emsmehd from the almost inde-
scribable mese of ruins, end the deem from the engine enve-
loped everything in • hew Wed.
Of poem' se secs se possible every sesistanoe was rem-
dewed, and the deed and wooded were taken from the
Mirk. This a lag visited; for the carriages bad
to be broken fade WWII the desired object coold in
num cans be ecoomplialied. Several of the injured were
eteiveyed hto the waiting room. at the Whoa, while others
ran :ups ke., sett carried to the
averse. The swime-thiTsi•—•

p,s wee eptertsEnaUthst he would survive the
firemen—a younet men named Barber (es we
onderatood)—was smashed to pieces; and upon being reco-
vered, his body wee taken to a room at the beck of the stalks,
to await the coroner's inquest.
All the passengers in the broken °whips ware neomearily
more or lees seriottely injured. Mr. Stokes, said to be a
miller from Saffron Walden, wee taken from the fragments
of • drat-clam carriage and conveyed to the White Hart Inn.
He was in as insensible state, and never rallied, dying
epparmtly without muchagony. Mr. Satehell, hatter, of
Fenohurch-strept, City (who some time ago lost his wife and
child by fire), was ales °mimed to the White Hart, where,
from the dresdfnl nature of his iejoriee, he also eaafred,
although every possible medical assistance was rendered. ,
Bees the above came which have terminated fatally,
there are others which occasion much anxiety. Professor
Elliott, of Itag's College, Cambridge, seutained • revere
fracture of the leg and other injuries. He was attended by
the 'lndies] men on the spot until about the middle of the
day, when, under the are of Mr. Wooleton, surgeon, of
Tottenham, be wee taken home in an invalid carriage. Mr.
Taylor, of Bishops Stortford, who had been very badly
injured in the knee and other parts of the body, was
sir sent home, neenspenied by • surgeon. Others
still remain at Tottenham. Amongst them is Mr. Hotchia,
solicitor, who has both leers broken. Mr. Mansion, • miller,
of Hoddeedon, lies at the Ship Tavern dresdfully injured, aid
yesterday afternoon underwent amputation of a leg. Mr.
Garrett, &leo • mifr,or Hoddeeden, has &thigh broken in two
please, sad he he. anstabeed serious internal injuries. The
other most serious case known up to the protest time is that
of Mr. BMW of Pseudo.; but it is supposed there are about
five very bail mess besides those above enumerated, the in-
jured peeks having been removed shortly after the accident.

Mr. J. B. Owen, the emmtary of the company, bee for-
warded to as the following report of the accident made by Mr.
A. Sincleir, the engineer of the company, to the board of
direeton

" As I happened to be en eye-witness of the Ismer:table
accident which occurred this morning at the Tottenham
statioe,! I think it right to inform you briefly of what fell
under my own obeervation. I was in the waiting-room of the
station, having jog had a few words of conversation with
the station-muter about the Enfield up-train, and was owing
on to the plea:tem on hearing • train approach, when
I bawd an exclamation from the station people, and
on looking towards the approaching train,
I should think, was running at about Its usual
speed, I distinctly observed a bright-sided carriage rolling
towards the up side of the line. I noticed also that theorise
was off the line towards the up aide. On reaching the plat-
form the engine struck it and turned completely over, the
tender hying clean over it. The carriage or van next to the
tender was thrown against the engine, and I saw the roof of
it broken off. The next carriage was thrown through the
platform wall on the up Ode ; the next carriage was off the
line and upright, and the mat of the train was on the rails. I
should motion that in turning over the weterand steam were
dinharged frau the boiler, and legend of steam enveloped the
&i►fs se soon as I had noticed what I have described.
On running along the platform I saw and heard the station-
meager giving orders to one of his men to put on both the
up and down signal., to stop trains in both directions ; and
this I think it right to mention in justice to the station-
master, biomass some gentlemen mentioned to me that ha
did not think this bad been done. What I too described
occurred almost momentarily, and before I reached the site
of the accident. Foe some little time I was unable to render
personal asetetanor, but I went toes* carriage, and saw
that, by the kind exertions of the uninjured passengers and
the asautance of the station people, the wounded passengers
were being got out. I saw seven persons la alt, helpless
and apparently serianely hurt; the unfortunate fireman,
evidently deed, lying under the engine. On look-
ing about for the cause of the accident, I ob-
served that the tire of one of the leading wheels
was off the wheel, broken in several places, and
with • which indicated a flaw of some extent.
The ry of the Iron where It had been severed appeared
to be of .tbe best descriptioe, and when further inquiry is
made I have no doubt it will be found to be of the beet
Yorkshire iron. Vutil the result of a complete investigation
I am alga to give you no MOWS Information, and I have to
apologise for this Imperfect coconut of an occurrence which
has much affected me, as it could not fail very much to affect
any eye witness."

LATEST PARTICULARB.-(THIS DAY.)

James Rowell, the driver of the engine, died last
evening at Tottenham, making the fourth sufferer
who has perished. On inquiry this morning as to
the state of the reveral injured pessengers we were
informed that they were going on as favourably as
their critical state could allow, but still their condition
wee very sad. A telegraphic message from Cambridge
steams th►t Professor Elliott, of King's Collage, was progress-
, tag r favourably as could be anticipated. As might be
expected, the calamity which has befallen him has created
the most painful feeling throughout the university. Rowell,
the engine-driver, was one of the oldest and most care-
ful men ereplo)ed on the line, and owing to his germs'
serious and steady way he was called the "sage" of Cam-
bridge, being attached to the locomotive depot at that town.
He has left a widow and a large timely to lament his melan-
choly loss.
• ' " .

A preliminary inquiry was instituted this morning at the
Bishopagste station before some of the directors and °dicers
of the company._ _ . .

Information of the occurrence has been forwarded to Mr,
Humphreys, the coroner, who it is expected will open the
Inquest at Tottenham to-morrow morning.
The government inspector has been apprised of the acci-
dent, sad h. will proomi with his official inspection in the
course off rinorrow.
