" THE IRISH REGISTRAR- GENERAL'S REPORT.—The
returns made by the Registrar-General for Ireland
continue to be remarkable. We have already given the
figures ; we state now the comparative results. In the
second quarter of the present year the annual ratio of births

to population, as enumerated at the last census in 1861, was
as follows:--In England, 3.84 per cent. ; in Scotland, 3.96
per cent.; in Ireland, only 2.70 per cent. The deaths were
2.31 per cent. in England, 2.23 in Scotland, only 1.68 in Ire-.
. . __

I land. The returns mark the diminution of population in
Ireland since 1861, but allowance must be made also for
imperfection of registration at present. The birth-rate in
Ireland is returned as varying from one in 32 on the popu..
lation of 1861 in tho north-eastern division, to only one in
44 in the western ; and the death-rate from one in 50 in
the eastern division, and one in 51 in the north-eastern, to
one in 77 in the westernli.rnelTanEhnde

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE CALEDONIAN RAIL-
WAY NEAR CARNWATH—Yesterday morning, the
1.40 goods train from Edinburgh to Glasgow ran off the
line near Ampherlaw siding, situated about a quarter of a
mile to the eastward of Carnwath station. The result of
the accident was very serious in damage to the line, to
rolling stock, and to the goods in the train, though fortu-
nately no accident to person was sustained by any one on
the train. Nearly half-a-mile of the road was torn up;
and fifty yards of the embankment—which is about
half-a-dozen feet high at the place were thrown
down. Fifteen waggons went over the embank-
ment, and their contents were thrown out into the
adjoining field, a heterogeneous mixture of bean;
wheat, oil, grease, and furniture. The loss to the company
will be very large, as the goods were mostly valuable. A
large force of men were put upon the line early in the
morning, and continued at work during the day, but at
dusk their labour was not more than half-finished, and it is
not anticipated that the road will be re-laid and opened for
traffic until this afternoon. Yesterday the ordinary traffic)
was worked for nearly a mile to the eastward of Carnwath
on the single line, and the arrangement was carried out so
efficiently that there was no detention of any trains. The
cause of the accident cannot be clearly ascertained, but it
is believed that it was occasioned by a large pair of smith's
bellows, which were in a truck near the centre of the
train, falling off, and disturbing the wheels.—Scotsman.
THE ACCIDENT TO THE COUNTESS OF AIRLIE.—A
correspondent furnishes us with the following cor-
rect account of the accident to the Countess of Airlie, re-
specting which many exaggerated versions have been circu-
lated : "On Thursday last the Countess of Airlie, accompa-
nied by the Countess of Gifford, who is staying at Cortachy,
set out in a pony-carriage and pair, with a postillion, to pay
a visit to Lady Glammis. On entering the avenue leading
to Glammis Castle, which is a mile long, and a descent the
whole way, the horse on which the man rode fell sud-
denly, throwing its rider, and before he could recover his
feet both horses started off towards the castle, at a pace
which grew every instant more alarming. The Countess
of Airlie attempted to get over the back of the carriage,
but in doing so some part of her dress caught on the iron-
work, and she was not only thrown heavily to the ground,
but was dragged some distance. Excepting some very
severe contusions, her ladyship most fortunately escaped
all serious injury, and is, we are happy to say, nearly re-
covered from an accident which might have proved fatal,
The horses continued their mad career towards the house,
with the Countess of Gifford still sitting in the carriage.
Fortunately at the door was Lord Strathmore's carriage, in
which his lordship was sitting, on the point of starting for
a drive, accompanied by his medical attendant Mr. Foxon.
The doctor, seeing the state of the case, courageously
rushed to the head of the horses, and with some difficulty
succeeded in stopping them, and Lady Gifford escaped
without injury. The Countess of Airlie was immediately
put to bed, and after spending the night at Glammis Castle,
was sufficiently recovered next day to return home.
