deCIDANT ON MB STOUR VALLE' - RAILWAY.

Yesterday (Tuesday) evening a collision occurred
on the Stour Valley Railway, between Dudley Port and
Albion stations, which, though not producing fatal °owe-
gammen, was the ranee of severe bruises to several per-
sons. It appears that when the five p.m. train from Bir-
mingham, propelled by two engines, was approaching Dud-
ley Port, some men were engaged at a crossing near the
latter station in shunting a ballast train on to • siding.
The evening being very foggy, the engineer of the
pilot engine wan unable to see the signals hoisted
to prevent a collision, and the consequence wan that
the passenger and ballast trains came into contact.
The shock thus produced woo severe, and several of the pee-
ning= wee cut and bruised, whilst others ware etiakein.
The stoker alma of the engines to the passenger taste sus-
tained • dislocation of one at hie elbows, and • wedding
party, who wen travelling in a compartment of a first-class
carriage, partly composed of glass, suffered lacerations on
the Ism by the !making of the glass of a coupe on their
being forced against it. The pilot engine was damaged to
some aztant, but little injury in addition to this was caused to
railway ropey. Ths pasentger train which was due in Wol-
verhampton at about ha/I-past five, was delayed for the
specs of shoat two hour.; it did not reach this town until
forty minutes past seven. Information of the accident was
promptly conveyed by telegraph to the High Level
station, from whines en engine was speedily deepatched,
conveying Mr. Dean, Dr. Fraser, and Mr. Debase, jun., to
afford what aid was necessary to the injured persons. Mr.
Haines, engem, of Dudley Port, was also in attendance.
Fortunately all the sufferers, with the exception of a few
persona, were able to proceed on their journey. Those who
were delayed were taken to Mr. Hancock's inn, at Dudley
Pat. The following is • list of the casualties:—

MUSSCLIIANS AND CHRISTIANS IN ASIA MINOR.
—The dieerbery Gamete publishes the following probably
exaggerated accent of the sentiments entertained by the
Mnandmans of Asia Minor and Egypt towards the Chi an
inhabitants of those countries .—" It is not only in India that
the Mahanstan• are arming themselves, for the armourers
in all the cities end towns of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt
were never carrying on such an extensive trade a. they are at
present. All that is taking place at Calcutta wader the eyes
of the Governor-General of India, the European consuls see
repeated at Smyrna, at Acre, at Alexandria, and elsewhere.
The most pacific Orient's, those even who are not
accustomed to handle arms, are purchasing revol-
vers, and the Turk, the Syrian, and the Egyp-
tian roar no secret of the motive which leads them to
purchase theme weapon,. One of our friends who is on the
spot states that something is in mention among the Mussul-
man population—something which very closely resembles
the rising of the Mrsulmans in India. Europe deceives
itself in imagining that any gratitude is felt because the
Western Powers supported the crescent against the Greek
cross. It is quite the contrary. The hatred felt throughout
ell the Eon arinst Christians is unbounded. It is in the
etrongeet terms of indignation that the event. at Constan-
tinople are talked of, and the tansimat is a subject of derialoc.
Never b. et Christian obtained lees junks or been more
detested than since the Christian Mann have declared thein-
✓ives the protected of the Musenlman."
