FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR. LUCAS,

M.P.

The funeral of this gentleman took place on Saturday,
at the Cemetery at Earl's Court. The body was brought
up from Staines on Friday evening, and deposited in the
chapel of the Oratory at Brompton. On its arrival there
it was received by a procession of priests, in white sur-
plices, and bearing lighted tapers, who preceded it up
the centre of the chapel. It was placed on a catafalque
i❑ front of the altar railings, and surrounded by 6
large candelabra, with lighted candles ; 6 others, of
larger dimensions, on pedestals covered with black cloth,
stood on the floor, at some distance on either side of the
coffin. The priests, ranged on both sides, cbaunted a
portion of the service, and then retired. Low mass was
performed in the chapel at 10 o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing. It was numerously attended, and many of those
present followed the procession to the cemetery, where it
was met Gy the Rev. Dr. Whitty, the Provost of West-
minster, who conducted the service, assisted by tour
other priests from the Oratory. The funeral was strictly
private, the hearse being followed by two mourning
coaches, containing only, in addition to the relatives,
Mr. Swift, M.P., who is one of the executors. Amongst
those present we noticed Mr. Devereux, M.P., and Mr.
M‘Mahon, M,P.

PROJECTED RAILWAY.—It is intended to connect the
Newcastle and Carlisle Railway with the Stockton and
Darlington and Wear Valley Railways by a short and
direct line from the Stocksfield station of the former line
to Consett.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CAR-
LISLE RAILWAY.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—A serious ac-
cident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway
last night, by which several persons were severely in-
jured, but fortunately no lives were lost. From all we
could gather it appears that the train bringing the
Scotch mail not arriving at its usual time this morning
at Preston a pilot engine was sent down the line, when
it was ascertained that between eight and nine o'clock
last night the train had run off the line, about three
quarters of a mile north of Eeasforth Station, and, sepa-
rating, broke into two divisions—one rolling down the
left and the other the right side of the embankment into
the open fields. It is said that a bale of goods had been
dropped by a preceding goods train, and that the engine
coming in contact with it caused the carriages to run off
the line. They were smashed to atoms, and the mail
bags scattered. The guard was severely injured—the
flesh of one of his arms being stripped off to the bone.
The following are also injured :—Mr. Gray, of the Pot-
teries, collar-bone broken, and bruised about the head ;
Mr. Chapman, cattle dealer, of Levay, head cut and
chest crushed ; Mr. Lorna 3, spirit merchant, of Frod-
sham, severely shaken ; Sir Charles Stewart, cut about
the head.
