this new branch of

an important trade is about being started, with credit to

presided. During the evening merry songs were sung and
good speeches made—speeches full of information as to the

progress of the trade in which all present were engaged; and
full also of acknowledgments of the courteous -a.nd liberal

eminent Greek firms in Liverpool
towards their employees. It is unnecessary that we should
dwell here on the importance of the Levant trade. It has long

attained to the rank of one of the staples of the commerce in
yet looking

at its rapid developement since the establishment of free•
trade, of which it may be taken to be one of the first fruits,
we consider that at present it is only In its infancy. In the
year 1835 the whole of the Mediterranean and Levant
trade was conveyed in sailing bottoms. Now steamers of
the largest class are employed in it, and sail almost

weekly. In 1815 there were just five cargoes from Gadatz to
Liverpool : at one period in this year there were 303 sail

SERIOUS COLLISION ON THE LONDON

AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY,

We briefly announced yesterday that another serious ac-
cident had happened on this line of rai:way, near to the
King's Langley station. ,The most violent exaggerations as
to the amount of personal injury suffered were freely circu-
lated during Monday night, and too easily. obtainei cur
rency is some of the papers yesterday. It appe,.re that
about twanty persons were more or less injured is the colli-
sion, but not more than three or four were sufficiently ince-
pieitated to prevent their going on to London, and, as far
as we cm ascertain, no bones have been. broken. Lord
Byron, lord in wai ieg to the Queen, was arci)lLt those most
reriously hart; but bad so far recovered yesterday morning
as to warrant his removal to London. The person supposed
to be most seriously injured is Mr. James Jukes, foreman
to an rngieeerinz firm at Derby, who is lying at the Rail-
way Tavern, at &Amor, in rather a critical condition.
The names of ti-e other persons injured will he found in
the annexed olficial account of the aecident, is which, as
after a very searching personal investigation upin the spot,
we are able to state tte cause of the collision is correctly
assigned. The precise scene of the aecident Was at a place
called Nash Mils, situate midway between King's Langley
and B .xmoor, the distance between these two stations being
about 31 miles. From Boxmoor about half a mile of the
road is level, and then commences a slight incline towards
Nash Mills of about 1 in 330---oidly enough precisely
the same gradient an upon that p‘irtion of the line
near Hauslope, where a collision occurred last week. The
two-mile " train telegraph" system is carried out here
by signal huts at Boxmoor, Nash Mills, and King's
Langley—the distance between each being nearly

two miles. Among t
