The Late Fatal Railway Accident.

We have been favoured by the officials at the Grenadiers'
Hospital, Westminster, with the following list of the
soldiers who are suffering most severely from the effects or
the accident on the Brighton Railway. There are alto-
gether 27 men at present in hospital, besides the two un-
fortunate men who died of their injuries, and some 10 or
12 who are temporarily confined to barracks with bad con-
tusions :—Obadiah Prime, fractured ribs, going on well;
William Lewis, compound fracture of wrist joint, dislocated
elbow, and bad scalp wound, going on well; John Chap-
man, compound fracture of wrist, and severe contusions;
Colour-sergeant W. Fowler, broken collar-bone, and large,
scalp wound ; Walter Reddell, fractured collar-bone, and
severe contusions ; 'William Sadler, broken leg ; William
Anderson, badly cut head. The others are suffering chiefly
from sprains in the back and bruises more or less severe.
The worst case of them all was that of Prime, whose ribs
were badly fractured. At first he was given over, but he
rallied under the skill and attention bestowed on him, and
is now well on the road to recovery. The poor fellows felt
most deeply the sympathy felt for them by all classes, from
Royalty itr elf down to their own comrades. Had it been
Sydney Smith's famous bishop who had been maimed in
this sad accident, greater interest could hardly have been
excited in the minds of the public. Her Majesty and the
Prince of Wales have made continual inquiries after the
condition of the sufferers, and a special report is made
daily to the Commander-in-Chief by the General in com-
mand of the district, Lieutenant-General Craufurd.
Yesterday afternoon Colonel Yolland, Government In-
spector of Railways, held an examination of the guard,
Walker, who was in charge of the train, He also examined
the driver of the 6 p.m. train from the Victoria station. It
had passed over the down line a few minutes before the ac-
cident took place, and also passed the train to which the ac-
cident happened. The driver did not notice any oscillation.
and everything seemed right. At 4 o'clock Colonel Yolland
was conveyed by a special train from Victoria-station to
Streatham-common, accompanied by the following officials ;
—Mr. J. C. Craven,locomotive superintendent, Mr. Francis,
superintendent of Victoria station, Mr. field, Chief inspec-
tor ; Mr. Rigby, inspector of the permanent way ; and Mr .
Joseph Craven, locomotive superintendent at New-cross .
After a minute and careful examination of every part of the
line, the old rails that had been torn up, the signals sleepers,
chairs,&c., the party returned about 10 minutes to 7 o'clock.
The investigation into the cause of the accident is still
being proceeded with.

Fearful Accident on the North Union
Railway.
--..- _

PRESTON, Wednesday Morning.

An accident happened this morning in the deep cutting
near to the Farington Station on the North Union Rail-
way, which, though happily freo from loss of human life,
has entailed extensive damage to the train, goods, and a
considerable portion of the line in the vicinity of the acci-
dent. It seems that the general goods train, which left
Liverpool for Carlisle and the north at 10.50 last night, was
composed of 22 trucks and the guard's van. The train, a
heavy one, proceeded all right until nearing the " skew
bridge," a little way on this side of the deep cutting at
Farington. Here there is a decline in the railroad, and, on
coming near to the bottom of the gradient, the driver of th 4
engine perceived that the same weight of steam carried his
train along the level at a greatly increased speed. From
this circumstance he knew that a portion of his train must
have got loose in the couplings ; he therefore applied the
break, stopped the engine, and awaited the coming up of the
detached trucks. These latter, 18 in number, soon de-
scended the gradient at a fearful speed, dashed into the
forepart of the train, and upset about a dozen of the whole.
The rails were torn up for a considerable distance in the
cutting, merchandise scattered about in every conceivable
manner, and some 17 of the waggons broken to firewood by
tho concussion. The ordinary night traffic was impeded
through the accident for about three hours, and every pre-
caution was taken to warn the approaching mail train which
leaves Liverpool for Preston at 1.15 a.m. By a little after
four o'clock the down line was so far cleared as to allow :the
traffic to be reopened ; and at the present time labourers
are engaged in clearing away the rest of the obstructions
Fortunately no lives were lost. The driver of the engine,
Ireland, did not expect the detached waggons to be so soon
upon him, and therefore shut off steam :and applied the
break, as he would have done ordinarily, previously to
pulling up on the Ribble Bank.
It is impossible at the present moment to estimate the
amount of damage, but it must be between £5,000 and
£lO,OOO, the railway plant alone being almost worth the
former sum. A little before 12 at noon the whole of the
trucks which were upon the line had been removed, but
vast quantity of produce was still upon the permanent wish
and a great deal of debris from the shattered trucks re-
mained upon the embankments, though nearly 100 men
have been at work all the morning.

This Railway, of the length of 161 English miles, will con-
meet Dunaburg, the terminus of the Eig-a and Dunaburg
Railway, with Witepsk. The Line passes through one of the
moat productive districts of Russia, furnishing a large pro-
por, ion ot the exports from Riga; and, in facilitating the
transport of produce of the rich and wheat-growinro-
vinces ot Smolensk, Mohilew, hursk, and Orel, will prove of
the greatest importance both to England and Russia.
In consequence of the absolute impossibility of forwarding
goods at certain seasons of the year, and the very heavy
charges at all times, a great part of the produce of these lat-
ter provinces has hitherto been almost lost to exportation, or

above.named provinces are amongst the mosttraffic, as the

the empire. This Railway will be the only convenient and
expeditious route for the inhabitants both to St. Petersburg
and Western Europe.
The Russian Government, attributing special importance
to the early construction of this line, has granted a conces-
sion of the most favourable character, embracing privileges
never before obtained.
Among the distinguishing features of the concession are
the following:-
Ist. The Company is to be constituted accordingtoEnglish
law, with the Board of Direction in London, and an Agency
of three Directors in Riga.
2d. The Government guarantees the interest in sterling
money, not, as in previous cases, in roubles.
3d. The Government also guarantees an additional sum
Payable half yearly, on the capital of £2,600,000, sufficient to
redeem the whole capital at par in 85 years.

half-yearly at fixed dates.
btli. The net receipts of the line are appLcible in relief of
The Government Guarantee ; but the Company is authorised,
in priority, to set apart 10 per cent, of such net receipts, to
the extent of £lOO,OOO to forma reserve fund against contin-
gencies.
6th. The shareholders are entitled to all net profits of the
line, up to 6 per cent., on the nominal capital ot
£2,600,000. are further entitled to one-half ot all urther profits,
over and above the 6 per cent., until tee Government is re •
imbursed the moneys which it may have paid in respect ofthe
guaranteed interest beyond the net earnings of tee line ;
after which reimbursement, the shareholders are entitled to
the whole of the net profits, whatever they may be.
A contract for the execution of the line of railway by the
30th November, 1867, with all necessary stations, buildings,
and works, and for the supply of rollinc, stock, according to
the specifications and requirements or the Government, has
been entered into by the concessionaires with Messrs. Peto
and Betts, under the superintendence and with the approval
of Mr. Hawkshaw, the eminent civil engineer, for a sum of
41.755,015. An arrangement has also been concluded, by
which that contract, together with the concession. is to be
