Railway Accident.

BIRMINGIIA.3f, Monday night, 10 p.m.
An accident, nearly attended with very serious conse-
quences, occurred at the London and North-Western Com-
pany's station, in this town, to-night. The 6 o'clock express
from London, due here at 9 p.m., arrived punctually. The
engine had passed through the tunnel on to the line in the
station; at this point the engine, tender, and guard's van,
with one passenger carriage, passed on all right. The second,
and third carriages were thrown off the rails, and the fourth
carriage was thrown on its side. In it unfortunately there
were only two passengers, who almost by a miracle escaped
without being much hurt. They were extricated through
the windows on the upper side. The remaining portion of
the train, consisting of three or four second class carriages,
with the last guard's van, remained on the rails. The train
having been brought to a stand the carriage thrown on its
side was dragged along a few yards, and ultimately the end
of it came in contact with a portion of the platform, which
it tore up. A part of one large flagstone, three feet in length,
was forced into the carriage which had been thrown over.
The passengers above referred to were extricated, having it
is hoped, sustained no vary serious injuries, and Mr Oliver
Pemberton, the company's surgeon, was in a few minutes
on the spot, ready to assist the passengers, many of whorls
were in a state of great excitement. Mr Roberts, the
general superintendent, was also at the scene immediately,
and every effort was made to clear the line, which just now
is much thronged. This was done as speedily as possible.
Major Dixon, of the Ist Royals, was standing on the plat-
form when the accident occurred. He was knocked down
and much shaken. Two causes have been assigned for the
accident. One is, that the turn-table, over which the train
had to pass, had been left improperly fastened; the other
is, that there was something wrong in connection with the
points.

manager or other person having the care or management
of any theatre who shall make default in compliance with
