COLLISION ON THE LONDON AIVD
BRIGHTON RAIL WAY.

Yesterday morning an accident of a serioua nature at
the Old Brighton Railway Station at R2dhill, occasioned
by the 10 o'clock express train from Brighton running
transversely into s " pick-up" train. The pick up was
being shunted from the down line to the "up" prior to
its being ran into the siding, and by some strange neglect
at the time when the express train was due. The ougine
and tender;,of the latter were crippled, the tender being
torn from its bed and twisted round, end the solid tim-
ber on which it rested rent into small particles. Four
of the carriages attached to the express train were much
shattered on the side which came into collision. The first
carriage, which was loaded with luggage, was greatly
broken up, and looked as if a battery of grape shot had
been poured into it. The debris of the pick-up was scat-
tered about on all sides, and the ground between the rails
of the up line was torn up for several hundred yards.
One of the carriages of the pick-up was turned over and
thrown off the line. Information was forwarded by the
telegraph to London, and Mr. Edward Cock, head sur-
geon at Guy's Hospital, was sent down by special train
to render assistance. In the meantime dispatches were
sent for Mr. Harris, Dr. Holman, and Mr. Steele, sur-
geons from Reigate, and they promptly arrived. Con-
sidering the injuries sustained by the carriages, it seems
extraordinary that no lives were lost. Many of the
passengers received cuts and contusions, chiefly on the
head and face, from the force by which they were thrown
one against the other : but the only injury incurred of a
serious nature was by a lady who resides at Regency-
square, Brighton, who sustained a compound fracture of
the leg, and was attended home by Dr. Holman. A
large body of men under Mr. Rigby, the contractor,
were quickly set to work, and in the course of a short
time rendered the line fit for traffic. Four of the men,
viz., James Clark, guard to the goods train, Brewer,
switchman at the goods station, Wm. Lamb, driver to
the goods train, and Hallows, stoker to the goods
train, were apprehended and taken in custody to
gate, where they were brought before Freshheld,
Esq., chairman, A. Frazer, Biqa and Sir B. Brodie..

AMERICAN Wu—From the returns of the Board of
Trade it appears that the importation of American oil
has presented a steady annual iacrease, :some idea of
which may be formed when it is stated that, in the year
1848, the quantity imported was 536. tons, whilst
in 1850: it reached 3,145 tons. ahe Greenland
fishery, of late years, has materially diminished. In
the Southern Pacific we have not half-a-doz-n ships;
whilst the French and Americana number seven or eight
hundred ; and our colonial bay and sea whaling, as car-
ried on at New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land,
has been destroyed by the temptations which high wages
have presented to shore employment. Thus, the total
value of oil and whaltbote exported from Sycltey and
Pert Philip has dreadfully fallen off is ten years, from
27,4794 in the year IS4I, to 29,368/. in 1860, and ibis
latter slim included 2,2081., the value of ail sold by
foreign chips for stoma and repairs.
