—An accident ocaar.,•ed at the Camden Town station of the
London and North Western Railway C impeny, to
the down mail train leaving Euston-square this morn-
in t,: at 10 o'clock. The driver of a goods engine,
believing the mail had peasad, improperly crossed the
main line without receiving the signal of " ell light
from the pointsman, and the consequence was a slight
collision, which threw the mail train off the rails. The up
and doe, a lines were conreauently blocked up for a consider-
able time, but happily no injury was done to the majority
of the pessengers,nor was any inconvenience suffered by them
beyond the annoyance or the shock; and the mail train
having been remade up, it proceeded on its journey at 11
o'clock. One or two of the passengers were slighly bruised;
and one of the engine-drivers received a severe blow, which
rendered his removal to the hospital necessary.

very great versatility of talent and flexibility of voice and
feature in his impersonations of the various individuals pre-
sented. Tse illustrations are aided by some cleverly painted
pictures from Mr. Woodin's Sketch-Book, and diversified by
singing in character and costume,
