FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday after-
noon as a woman who was proceeding through the tunnel
in the vicinity of Paisley, on the Glasgow and South-Western
Railway, with the dinner of her husband, who is a plate-
layer on the line, a passenger train came up, Although the
usual precaution of solinding the whistle was taken, the un-
fortunate female was so panic-struck that, instead of stand-
ing still, she ran on to the rails, and was killed on the spot
by the buffers of the engine.
DEATHS OF PLAIN TIFFS AND DEFENDANTS.
Among the many alterations made by the Common Law
Procedure Act, which will take effect on the 24th of October,
is one to the effect that the death of a plaintiff or defendant
shall not cause an action to abate, but it may
as set forth. 41 the statute.

NOTTINGHAM, JULY 2t3.—Yesterday morning an act'
cident occurred at the Bedford Colliery, near this town►
the property of Lord Middleton, by which four men in
his Lordship's employ will be maimed for life, if, indeed►
they survive the melancholy catastrophe, which, at pre-
sent, in the case of one or two of them at least, is very
doubt! ul.

and boys were at work below, who rendered every
y
possible aesistauce to the sufferers, but of course without
being able to administer the surgical relief they re-
que •
leed In the meantime those engaged above were ex-
erting themselves to attach another rope to the engine,
in which they succeeded after the lapse of about half an
hour, and the sufferers acre then brought to the ear-
face. They are—William Banner, of Radford, agcd 40;
John Husbands, of Radford, aged 36; William Robinson,
of Wellaton, aged 25; and William Bonser, of Radford,
aged 60. Husbands is a siiaith, and had been
jute) the pit for the forpose of shoeing
the horses, mule e, and asses working therein, which
are seil•Zom brought out, except in ease of sickness or
death; t;eo other three are butty colliers, and hold the
contract fo: working that pit. Banner and Husbands
were removed to the General Hospital at Nottingham.
The former has sustained a compound fracture of the
left leg and a dielocetion of the right ankle, and the
latter is suffering from a contused wound of the scalp
and a sprained ankle. Robinson and Bonser were taken
to their own homes, wheee they are attended by Dr.
Williams and Mr. Thompson. Robinson has his right
hip badly contused, one toot dislocated, and he complains
of severe pain inside; he is believed to be in great dan-
ger. Bonier has several ribs on the left side and a bone
in his right ankle fractured. In the absence of en ()fa..
oiol iagutry IL is to bo feared that the accident is entirely
the result of reckless lust-too:ion. The rope, which had
been a year and a half in rtse, was worn out, and there-
fore could cot sustain weights any longer, even light
ones. Our reporter was informed in the village that
the collie-ea had for some time past suffered themselves
to be raised 4nd lowered by the elefective rope with fear
and trembling, and that they hallmore than once re-
monstrated agaioet its use, but without their remon-
strances being heeded. Only ono moment before it
snapped, and the poor fellow
if & were he laed s
toro the bottom,
ono of them exclaimed, Lipe should
break!" It is said that one of the engineers cut off a
piece
of the chafed cable after the accident, and destroyed
it, so that it may not be forthcoming when required by
the coroner or the Government inspector.

FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.
On Wednesday (Joliet; an accident happened on the
Thames, off Bermondsey, which created a painful feeling
of alarm and excitement among tae numerous persona
who witnessed it. A few minutes before six o'ciccie the
Herne Bay Company's steam-packet Father Thames,
from Margate and Herne Bay, was coming up the Pool
at full speed, on her way to Fresh Wharf, when she met
with a boat, containing five ballast getters and a lighter-
man, who were crossing the stream from the south to
the north side of the 'river. The people in the boat
seemed alarmed at the rapid approach cf the steamer,
and as they neared each other Captain Greenland, the
master of the Father Thames, called to them to pull
over, when a sadden panic arose among
the ballast boat, and two of the men in her stern jumped
up and caught hold of the oars rowed by the two others,
and pulled the boat a-stern, which brought her right
athwart the steamer's bow, the people in

It appears from inquiries made by the Thames police
that the occurrence was purely accidental, and that both
t, parties were doing their best to avoid it when it took
piece. Captain Greenland, the master of the Father
3 Thames, is an old and experienced conductor of river
steamers, and never mot with any material accident
before. -
