The Post says, the total number of Liberals at present is
319, the Conservatives 261, giving a majority of 58 to
opposition.
The Star remarks that, on the whale, the Tories have
'certainly gained by the general election, but this circum-
stance is likely to increase the zeal of the Liberal party for
a new Reform Bill.

The Daily News exposes a very striking case of inter-
ference with electoral freedom on . the estates of Lord
Brownlow, who is a minor.

FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY
ACCIDENT.
LOSS OF LIFE.

In a late edition of the NORTHERN TIMES on Saturday,
we announced that, on Friday night, about three miles west
of the new Royal Albert Bridge, on the Cornwall railway,
an engine and two railway carriages were precipitated from
a height of forty-five feet into about seven feet depth of
water. The driver, fireman, and guard were killed. At
that time it was not known wLether any , passengers were
in the two submerged carriages. One carriage and a truck
remained on the viaduct. Subsequent accounts state that
the first and second class train which left Plymouth at 7.25
p.m., on Friday evening, ran off the rails this side of the
Notter Viaduct, near St. German's. It is supposed that the
,engine, struck against tile-end of the viaduct, and was pre-.

ciiitated immediately into the water and mud below. the
train consisted of an engine, a second class carriage, a first
class carriage, a second class carriage, and a truck. The

water was, at, the time about seveirfeet deep. , The engine
is buried in the mud. The driver, Biscombe' and fireman,
liannaford, are killed ; and so is the guard, llosken, who
was in the leading second class carriage, which is under
water on its back on the engine. The xst class carriage
rests on the leading second class carriage. One passenger,
a woman, broke her arm. It is not yet known whether any
passengers were in the leading carriage or the first class
carriage. The other second class carriage, through the
dexterity of the guard, Paddon, remained on the line, with
the truck. The height from the water to the rails is about
forty-five feet.

- CURE FOR DEAR BREAD.
YELLOW BUTTER FOR EIGHTPENCE,

KELLY'S BUTTER PLACE,

HOW TO PRESERVE THE PEACE OF EUROPE
The aspect of the Continent
Now fills us with alarms,
When we behold Sardinia, France,
And Austria in arms.
Not that we tremble for ourselves,
Here in our honie sea-girt;
Yet still we would the scourge of war
From other lands avert.
The skilled n foreign politics
Their brains are racking now
Peace to preserve in Europe
By all means, noinatter how.
A General Congress they propose, -
By means of which they trust
The various points of difference
To speedily adjust.

With all respect for such wise heads.
I rather think I can
Propose a much more simple
And a much less tedious plan.
The self-same plan which I propose,
When India rebelled,•
Which plan was then adopted,
And behold the mutiny quelled.
Let every one who peace desired
To Kelly quickly hie,
And him beseech each army
With his butter to supply.
On tasting which all thoughts of war
Within each breast would cease,
And every voice break forth in praise
Of butter and of peace.
And tell me, would each hostile host
A whit more glory gain
By struggling like " Kilkenny eats."
Till tails alone remain ?

• The brilliant suggestion referred to appeared thus, in June,
1857 :

" /n re " greased cartridges—
" The Government should really send to Delhi,
" Some Butter from the celebrated Kelly,"
Aid we all know what fol:owed.

As some uneasiness was felt by the people of Liverpodl,
with respect to a continuation of this yellow Butter at Bd.,
we beg to inform them, we shall have quite enough to meet
the demand to the 12th May.
