the country :
EVICTIONS NRATI CaoossaoLlN.-- On MOZdilly last a
formidable array of police mustered seer Crommagles, from
the neighbouring statioas of Forkkill Newtownhaisilton
Glassdroatosid, Cadmium, sad Seedy. About 10 o'clock
t sub-sheriff arrived from Armagh, accompanied by four
mea, whose appearaaes was vary mark It keeping with the
sort of work they came to execute, namely, house levelling.
From the form of police collected it would seam as it
formidable neistases was appreheaded bet then was no
indisstioa of the breach of the peace. Nine families were
evicted as the resort/ of Mr. W. C. Quinn, two on the pro.
pert, of Mr. Reid of Ethan', and one on the property of Mr.
Tipping. poly one house wet thrown down ; the others
were spared possibly for west of time to perform the work of
demolition. It is mid that 120 *eases' notices wore evened
lately on the tenants of the Tipp estate !

It is even remarkable that the elessance system is
carried on extensively in higher quarters, and that
many landlords, influenced by what would appear
absolute infatuation, do not hesitate to take up the
land from wealthy tenants of the highest elms rather
than yield any abatement of the rent to meet the
altered circumstances of the country. This has taken

place in amoral instances in the Counties of Meads
and Dublin, and the uat*, is that large tracts
of country most remain partly unproductive, for want
of sufficient cultivation and stock.

At the last meeting of the Kilmallock board of
guardians it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Bolton
Massy, that a thousand emigrants should be sent to
America at the expense of the various divisions of the
union. A committee of ties members was appointed
to carry out the resolution.
Tre hard fought election for the Dublin county
coronership has resulted in a double return, and a
new election most take place.

SCOTLAND.
COLLISION AT THE NORTH BRITISH
RAILWAY STATION.

A collision Gls very alarming character, by which
the lives of about sixty persons were placed in extreme
jeverdy, occurred as Saturday forenoon at the Matins of
the North British Railway, below the North Bridge.

The passengers by the mail train for London, which tim-
idly leaves Edinburgh at 11 o'clock cas., having taken their
sun, and the signal having been given to the train to start,
the engine driver immediately turned on the steam, bet at
the fret revolution of the machinery the cr ink of the axle of
the driving-wheel of the scoriae snapped in two, by a hich
the locomotive was completely disabled. The superintend-
ent Immediately despatched a pilot engine to the company's
works at St. Margaret's for a frish engine; and in the mean
time ft was propose/ to remove lb* disabled engine by the
locomotive momentarily expected. This step, how-
ever, WAS not adopted, as being likely to occasion
the entire derangement of its machinery; and, in these
cireumstanees, to enable the new engine to be attached to the
train, the carriages were moved backwards to the turning
table, and 'hilted to the centre line of rails, leaving the dis-
abled ergine on the line, close to the platform. The opera.
don was effected in lees than 10 minutes , arid the train, as
then arranged, consisted of a cattle-track, filled with swine,
fee Leeds • • pmeragers• luggage van belonging to the York,
Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company ; a second-clam
carriage, a carriage of the first class, and two other second-
elan carriages.
Scarcely had the train been removed to the centre line,
when the engine expected was seen to emerge from the Cal-
ton-hill tunnel at a rapid speed. The brake seemed to have
been applied, but as the locomotive approached the station
with no diminution of steam, and at an apparent rata of
more than twenty miles an hour, the alarm of the
°facials, and each of the passecgers as saw its approach,
became excessive. The engine advanced on the some
line of rails which the train occupied, and dashed into it
with great tom. The concussion was tremendous, and
spread the greatest terror among the passenger., some of
whom, eirithe engine came up, seeing the danger, vainly
attempted to escape from the train. TOO cattle-track In
:root of the train, which experienced ,the full shock of the
collision, was nearly smashed in pieces, and the unfortunate
pigs were thrown high into the air. It doubled, ins man-
ner, over the luggage van, and separating into two parts,
the upper half fell over on the south line of rails, leaving the
wheels and axles on the line where the collision occurred,
deeply imbedded in the ground. The luggage van sustained
scarcely less injury, the roof and sides being dreadfully
shattered, but, singularly enough, the framework remained
upon the line, and (the couplings connecting it with the
truck having bean broken) with the train, which also es-
oared being thrown off the rails, receded backwards from
the severity of the shock twenty or thirty yards. The engine
was found to have remsiniel on the line, but the tender was
thrown off, when the wheels snot in the ground to some
depth. Tee guard plates and other parts of it sustained
some injury. The damage to the train extended no farther
than to the truck and the luggage-van.
The passengers, beyond the excessive alarm occasioned by
the collision, suffered comparatively trifling injury. One
lady in a first clan carri ge, a passenger for Inveresk, unfor-
tunately had her head out of the window, in the attempt, it
is stated to escape, and received a e wound on the
temple. She bled profusely, and was conveyed to the resi-
dence of a friend in Edinburgh, out she is proceeding
favourably. Meet of the other passengers sustained injuries
of some kind, principsily slight contusions, but there has
been no other serious casualty. Their escape is most pro-
vidential, and there is no doubt that they owe their safety to
the ciraunstases of the track wheels (which, AS
. .

ready stated, lay across the Use, partly esibeddea in the
ground), having interposed, and brought the cassia sad
tender to a stand. Some of the passengers left the train,
having declined to proceed further on their journey by the
railway ; but the carriages, upon examination, having bow
found to have sustained no damage, a third engine was pro-
cured, sad the train proceeded to Berwick, alter a delay et
an hour. The tender was easily dragged upon the line again,
and the &brie was removed in less than half an hour. It
is rather singular that only one pig was killed by the
collision.
