COLLISION ON
WICK LING.- On Friday the coroner's inquest upon this
the senice Of
accident, which caused the death of a clerk in • .
the Electric Telegraph Company wa b , sbrought to a conclu-
sion,and the jury found the following spec 1 d. "
the deceased, Patrick Morton,
met
his
deathe ver ict : That
by the collision
of two trains on the York
, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway,
o
and that the collision was owing to the
neglect of the com-
pany's officers in charge of the first train to send back a fog
or lamp signal to the train following, and further to the
neglect of certain officers of
signals to the guard of
the first train. We find the directors
and managers of the l '
ork, Newcastle, and Berwick Railwayguilty
of greatculpable
neglect—first, blame and in
forward-
ing an enormous cattle train immediately preceding a pas-
senger train, which cattle train
passed Christon Bank when
the Q
p%senger train was within one minute of being due.
Secondly, _ 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.
THE 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
engiue, the steam of which was generated by natural gas,
not by coal :—" Barton-grange, 30th December, 1851.
Sir,—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--
Yours re-
spectfully, RICHARD BELL."—Liverpool MOTO".

To,
_NEW BRIDGE ACROSS THE THAMES.—Tbe
workmen engaged in sinking the foundation of the new
bridge over the Thames between Ranelagh Wharf and the
Red Rouse, Battersea, are making rapid progress. Already
the piles for the piers of the centre span have been nearly all
driven, and the coffer dams completed. The waste ground to
the eastward of the garden belonging to Chelsea Hospital,
and which at one time formed a portion of the famed
Ranelagh Gardens, bat 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 second
class, and the exterior finished in a similar style to all those
lately built on the Marquis of Westminster's property at
Chelfiesi and Pimlico.
