Cm.msrois ON TILE YORK, NEWCAaTLE, AND BER-
WICK LINE.-0a Friday the coroner's inquest upon
caused the death this
accident, which afiprersvb
tithe
C of a clerk in the service of
the Electric
.Teleg.l Company, was brought to a concln-
found the follo •
sion,and the jury .
the deceased, Patrick Morton, met his death by the collision
of two trains on the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway,
and that the collision was owing to the. neglect of the com-
as officers in charge of .
Pan) • the first train to send hack fog
or lamp signal to the train following,a
and further to the
neglect of certain saucers of the company to supply fog
signals to the guard of the first train. We find the directors
and managers of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway
guilty of great blame and culpable neglect—first, in forward-
ing an enormous cattle train immediately preceding a pas-
senger train, which cattle
train passed Christon Bank when
the passenger • Secondly, efer train was within one minute of being due.
"' in appointing an unqualified guard to such a train.
Thirdly, in appointing only one guard to a double train (250
yards long). Also, we find that the production of the
printed instructions by the superintendent as a proof of the
general carelessness of the company's management, appears
to us only an attempt on the part of the company's managers
to get rid of the responsibility resting on them, and to throw
the blame on an unfortunate guard, whilst at the price of a
few paltry tracts they get rid of the expense of providing a
competent individual, whose sole duty ought to be to see
at least once daily, at some central station, that all parties
in charge of a train are provided with proper signals."
The jury then separated. The other parties who were in-
jured by the collision are said to be going on favourably.
TUE NATURAL GAS ON CHAT Moss.—The follow-
ing letter has been received by Mr. Thomas Baines, of this
town, accompanied by a specimen of wheat thrashed by an
engine, the steam of which was generated by natural gas,
not by coal :—" Barton-grange, 30th December, 1851.
Bir,—Last week I stated to you the circumstance of our
finding natural gas, while boring for water, on the farm of
Edward Evans and Ce., of Barton Moss Farm, Chat Moss.
We have it now conveyed in pipes to the farm-buildings,
with the intention of turning it to some useful purpose,
should the supply continue. The first experiment was with
a forty-gallon boiler, filled with potatoes, and so powerful
was the heat, that the water was boiling in twenty-five
minutes from the time the gas was lighted. I have now
applied it to the boiler of the steam-engine, and I herewith
send you a sample of the wheat thrashed by it.—lours re-
speettully, RICHARD BELL."—Liverpool Mercury.

THE
NEW BRIDGE ACROSS THE THAMES.—The
workmen engaged in sinking the foundation of the new
bridge ove the Tames between Ranelagh Wa and the
Red nouse,r Battersea, are making rapid progrehss.rf
Already
the Band the piers of the centre span have been nearly all
driven, the coffer dams completed. The waste ground co
the eastward of the garden belonging to Chelsea Hospital,
and which at one time formed a portion of the famed
Ranelagh Gardens, but which is now little better than a
morass, is being filled in and sub-drained by means of large
pipes and sewers. This process has been found necessary, in
order to form the approaches to the new bridge. The main
street leading from the bridge on the Middlesex side will
terminate in the vicinity of Eaton-square, and the buildings
to be erected along the-line of street are to be of the seccnd
class, and the exterior finished in a similar style to all those
lately built on the Marquis of Westminder's Property at
Chelfitft ittld ritulico.
