THE BURNS MONUMENT AT EDINBURGH.—A
very gratifying proof of the popularity of the mu-
seum now formed in this structure was afforded on the first
two days of the year, when the number of visitors (each
paying 2d.) amounted to nearly 500. Several interesting
relics have been added within the last month, among which
may be mentioned the snuff•horn of 'outer Johnnie, con-
tributed byMr. Porteous, Maybole ; a snuffbox made from
the wood of the Kilmarnock printing-press, in which the
first edition of Burns's poems was printed. presented by
Mr. Hannay, Maybole ; a very characteristic letter from
the bard to a Mr, Tennant, the gift of Mr. H. Houldeworth,
jun., Glasgow ; and a letter front Mr. Burns to his early
friend Sloan, containing a graphic description of the dissi-
pation which at that time prevailed at country roupings,
presented by Councillor Falshave, Edinburgh.—Scotsmata.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A very serious accident
took place on Wednesday on the Northern Railway
at the nurrifitte station. A passenger-train which was duo
at Paris from Calais at a quarter past four, and which had
been delayed by some injuries to its locomotive, had con•
tinned its way with difficulty to the station just mentioned,
and there stopped. The trival signals were immediately
made to protect it, but at that moment a train from Brussels
came in sight of the station, and,notwithstanding the signal'
made to stop it, ran violently into the former and knocked
five of the carriages into pieces. Seeing the impending
danger, an inspector at the station had opened the carrit.ge-
doors, so that a number of persons were able to alight.
Five passengers were, however, killed, and 19 more or
less seriously wounded. The persons in the Brussels train
experienced no injury beyond the shock. All the wounded
passengers were brought to Paris in the evening. Another
account makes the number of sufferers, killed or wounded,
to be 50, and states that all the passenger& luggage has
been burnt. The accident is attributed to the neglect and
mismanagement of a pointsman.
