LATEST PARTICULARS.--(THIS DAY.)
DEATH tW ANOTHER SUFFERER.

We have to record another death as & come-
pomace ut this terrible catastrophe, Clara Clameata, as
innate of the University Hospital, and who was yesterday
described as being in a danlerous state, h wing died at two
o'clock this morning. 8 Disex and Charles Co:, bOtil
lying is the same Inopital, are still in a precarious condi•
tam, but the other seq.:goers here are progressing favour-
ably. Tony, lying at the Middlesex Hospital, although
still in a daugeimis coutlition, is somewhat better than
yesterday, and the other persons lying here, il-4 well as those
at the ltoyal Free Hospital, are described as progressiug
favourably.

.tlthoogh the excitement in the neighbourhood of the
scene of the accidont ha. declined a little, Large crowds
of poople have hero ameisibled on the spit all the morning ;
awl beak tisitnrs cominue to arrive every minute. The
en,,ine. aa it fell, awaits the iospeetion of the pity, and the
wreck of the carriages which were destroyed is also there,
although they have been cleared from the run Tway, and put
conveniently :wale. The mime of the piece of open ground,
wsustioes called Church-held, which the line here CMIIIIIOI,
is more generally recognised as the (impel-oak Field ; it
is a spot of mum local mistiest'', cad will now, doubtless, be
better known than ever.

The up-lion of rail., which was closed yesterday, wu this
morning opened Tor traffic, and although many gentlenao
auk Ist:twos iuteresteil are continually visitiug the emlxmk•
meat, everything with regard to traffic goes on much as
'weal We ►tated yestenlay that the junction hue was the

North• Western l'orapomy fur the North London ; sad
'torn all we eon gather this appears to be caw, but as the
01701101111e0Cell of the collistoe in a pecuniary menu must be
serious to the company which may ultimately prove to be
reepossibk, there at an apparent desire on the lurk of each
iteespnay to shift the responsibility upon the shoulders of
the other. Bat any doubt which may at present exist ou
this point, must also appear very shortly.
Among the personal experiences of the collision, we may
Cite the following :

what I was doing, but I recollect that the
first thing I saw was the poor stoker, crawling on one knee
from the engine, all in a blase. I looked about a

insole coat pocket, I put in my hand and took nut a large
piece of plate-glue, which had got there during the shock.
I felt very queer thee, and I fool very queer now, and I
can't think how it was that I was not smashed,"

Unrot'SPED tnortsing a rumour
was pretty geoerstly correct that a railway accident took
plain at the Victoria Stenos, Pimlico, by which five persons
were killed. (In inquiry at the station, however, it wee
secertained that there was no foundation for the report,
which doubtless originated in the intaginatiou of some ie-
dividital excited by the recent rifest n.phes on other lines.
