SLZIOCR AOCIDENT ON THE NORTH DEVON
RAILWAY.—We regret to state that an accident, attended
with rather serious consequences, took place at the Copple-
stone station, on this line, on Tuesday morning. It
appears that the down train from Exeter, which leaves
at 7.45, meets the op train which leaves Bideford at
6.31. The up train was stationary, and it was the
duty of Easterbrook, the switchman, to turn the points,
in order to allow the down train to pass so as to take
the place of the up train when it had left. This he ne-
glected to do, and the consequence was that the trains
came into collision, the engines being somewhat seriously
damaged and some of the carriages splintered. The
first guard (Parkin) was uninjured, but the second guard
iFlanks), seeing that his train was on the wrong line,
put on the break, sod in doing so it is supposed be was
I struck by the handle. He received rather severe injuries
in the head, and several other passengers were also more or
less bruises{. Some remained behind at Copplestone, and
were attended by Mr. Warren, surgeon, of Bow. The others
were brought on to Exeter in the train, and on their arrival
they received every 'Assistance from Mr. Johnson Webb,'
surgeon, who had been telegraphed for to to in attendance.
The fireman was thrown off the engine, but remind no in-
jury, whilst the guards of the up train were thrown on the
platform, and a gentleman in • first class eompartment of
the down tilde was slightly injured ; but beyond this we
have heard of no other casualties. Banks is confined to his
bei, and is suffering rather seriously in the bead. The traffic
en the line has not been at all impeded.
The ferry boat, which plies just below Coblentz,
sank a few days ago, in consequence of being onr.loaded.
It had on board 40 persons and 2') head of cattle. Fourteen
of the passengers were drowsed. A peasant saved himself
by laying hold of one of the oxen, all of which swam safely
to the bunk.
