NAILSOW EACATZ OF • MAIL TRAIN. —The Lon-
doe and Manchester Mail express train, which left the
metropolis at 9 o'clock on daturday evening, and was due
Manchester at 2.45 on Sunday morning, had a narrow
escape in passing the Heaton Chapel station, four mike frees
Manchester. Three young honor had strayed upon the
down Hoe from an adjoining pagan ; and there is reason
to believe that one of them was lying between the rails,
when the express paned over it, disemoowelling and shock-
ingly mutilating it. The other bones were also in front of
the train, and the engine appears to have struck them with
such force, that their bodies were shattered to pieces.
Lep and portions of their bodice were found mattered
aboutthe bee to a considerable distance. The train pulled
up at the Levenshuln,o station, a mile further, when some
of the passengers stated that they had teen • good deal
shaken, though none of the carriage*, had gone off the line.
The line paws through a cutting at Heaton Chapel, and it
is probable the bones had leaped the sunk fence, to get
upon the railway for shelter from • very severe storm that
was ragbag at the time.
