COLLISION ON THE GREAT WKSITERN RAILWAY.
—Early onSaturday, morning a serious accident fortunately
unattended by loss of life, happened on the Great Western
Railway between Shrewsbury and Chester. Shortly after
midnight an empty coal train bound for the adjacent tol-
Berke stopped at Roasett for the purpose of being shunted.
The train-being of great length it was divided in two parts,
and while the engine was awsy with the first portion the
tail end of the train was left standing on the main up.
line. At this moment a heavily laden goods train cans
:p front Chester, and the driver, t of the presence
f the waggons on the line beforetirnproceeded at full
weed, and before he could avert the collision the engine
struck the van of the and train with such force as to
drive it high over the hindermost waggons, which were
also heaped one on top of the other. The guard of the coal
train was fortunately in front with the other portion of his
train, and thus escaped all injury. Both lines were completely
blocked, and from the hour at which the accident hap-
pened very little could be done towards clearing a way ;
but at an early hour in the morning a large gang of men
arrived, and before nine o'clock the down line was cleared,
and the officials in a position to work the traffic by the
single line. This course was necessarily adopted all
throughout the day, up trains being shunted on to the
down line before reaching Roesett, and proceeding thereon
to the junction, where they were again shunted on to the
up line. Considerable delay was occasioned to the ordinary
traffic, Saturday's trains reaching London and the inter-
mediate stations on the up route from b.df.an-hour to
three-quarters of an hour behind time. It is stated as in-
dicating the canes of the accident that the night was dark
and densely foggy, so much so that the driver ci the
goods train could not see a yard before him.

THE CITY WAITERS.--On Saturday evening
well•attended meeting of waiters was held at Shaftesbury
Aldersgate•street, in furtherance of the object of the
City Waiters' Provident and Protection Society. Mr.
Richardson presided. The chairman said it was calculated
that there were 8,000 waiters in London ; and a few
months ago the society was started for the purpose of
establishing, on a broad and comprehensive ,ysteni, are-
vident and protection society, to make provision for waiters
in time of sickness, old age, and death ; to give counsel and
advice in time of difficulty ; to protect the members as
well as the employers; and to provide the public with a
respectable class of professional waiters. Mr. J. Bennett,
C.C., was the president of the society. Mr. J. Wilford,
the hon. secretary, said that since the last meeting the
code of rules decided upon had been submitted to Mr.
Tidd Pratt, who had certified them, and the society was
now duly enrolled. He was glad to say that the support
the movement had received was very gratifying; and,
although it had only been started three months, it had
already done some good. It was intended in a few days
to call another general meetingie of the body to ratify the
rules. A resolution was pledging the meeting to
support the society • an several members having been
enrolled, the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to
the chairman.
