THE NIONMOUTHSHIP.E RAILWAY.—The colli-
sion which took place on this line on Thursday
resulted in severe injuries to five men, all of whom were
servants in the employ of the company, On Friday the
engine driver, named John Williams, died from the in-
juries received, and the lives of two others are despaired ot.
The directors held a priveoe investigation on Friday, at tha
company's offices, Newport, as to the cause of the accident,
and there is but little doubt entertained that some or the
officers neglected their duty or else the collision could not
have happened. The line is worked from 2‘...berbeeg to
Ebbw•vale by means of a telegraph pass, and it has already
transpired that there was some irregularity as to giving the
pa•s to the passenger train engine driver.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.-0a Friday a young gentleman named Jackson
accompanied his mother to meet his father at the Surbitca
railway station, who was expected to arrive by the 10 '2O
train from Waterloo. The father arrived by the down train
at the correct hour, when, as they wore about to leave the
station, the boy beheld a friend across the line on the oppo-
site platform, and dashed impetuously across behind rho
said down train, which was still waiting at the station, to
greet him, when horrible to relate, an express train going
up to London caught him on the line and smashed hits to
pieces, the only part of his body left nndestroyed being his
head, and this took place in the presence of his parents.
A CLERGY3IAN DROWNED IN AUSTRALIA.—The
Sydney Morning _Herald notes a painful circum-
stance which occurred on the 31st December last :—" Tho
Rev. G.W.Richardson was drowned whilst bathing in that
part of Cook's River which flows through Major Fanning's
grounds. Mr. Richardson was the incumbent of St. Mark's
Church, Darling Point, bat had lately removed to Canter-
bury, having exchanged duties for a few weeks, with the
Rev. Percy Smith. The deceased gentleman was visiting
at Major Fanning's, and after luncheon he, accompanied by
three hale boys (his son, Master Fanning, and Master
Houlding), went to bathe in the river. Mr, Richardson
was attacked with cramp before he had been long in the
water, and, being taus rendered helpless, was drowned.
The little boys were physically incapable of affording any
assistance, and were much alarmed at witnessing this cala-
mitous accident. The body was nut got out of the water
before life had fled. ' Mr. Richardson was a young man of
most estimable disposition, and was greatly distinguished
for his piety and devotion in the werk of the Christian
ministry. He has left a wife and four children to mourn
his untimely decease."

ALLEGED FORGERY AND BIGAMY.—A black
smith—a married man, with a large family—recently
disappeared from Rochdale ; and it is alleged that, before
leaving the town, he had defrauded the Order of Druids
of £6o.by means ot forged certificates of death, and also
married a young wom in of respectable parentage. The ea:e
was placed in the hands of Mr. Superintendent Sylvester,
who soon ascertain,d that the fugitive and his young bride
had sailed from the Thames in an emigrant vessel the Leap-
ing Water, bound for Melbourne. Mr. Sylvester proceeded
to Plymouth, where the ship wag to call. At five o'clock
on Saturday morning the Leaping Water hove in sight.
Mr. Sylvester hired a boat fo take him to the vessel, and
when within a few hundred yards ot the ship, he ob-
served the blacksmith making for shore in a boat. Ile at
once gave chase, but the other boat gained considerably in
the distance. Mr. Sylvester, however, noticed that the boat
he was pursuing was taking a roundabout course for shore,
and he ordered his own boat to be at once steered in. Alter
clitubiag a few rocks, he found himself just in time to seize
the blacksmith as he was landing. The prisoner, it ap-
peared, had taken passage for Melbourne, and had a good
deal of baggage. The unfortunate young woman, on learn-
ing how heartlessly she had been duped, appeared t ) be in
great distress, and it was with reluctance she returned to
Rochdale. Mr. Sylvester arrived in town yesterday,
with his prisoner, and to-morrow we will be brought before
the Borough Magistrates.
