ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
—An alarming accident occurred yesterday after-
noon near the Twyford station, and but for the precaution
of Abraham Hills, the engine-driver, it might have been
attended with serious if not fatal consequences to some of
the passengers. It appears that the through train for
Exeter, leaving Paddington at two o'clock, and which is
not timed to stop until it reaches Reading at 2 55, proceeded
safely until within 200 yards of Twyford station. At that
point a gang of platelayers were employed on the " down"
line, and they had out some cross timbers, known as " tran-
soms," when the train came in sight, 'running at full
speed. Hills saw there was danger, and his presence
of mind prevented what must have been a fearful acci-
dent, for no less than eight carriages ran off the metals
and tore up the permament way, but the train was fortu-
nately brought to a standstill before the platform was reached,
and the carriages which had been dislodged were thus pre-
vented from coming into collision with the stonework of
the platform. The passengers were much shaken, but not
injured, and so greatly did they feel indebted to the engine-
driver for the care he had displayed that they spontaneously
collected a sum of money andpresented to him. Very soon
a body of labourers were despatched from Paddington,
Reading, and other parts of the line, and after a delay of
about an hour and a half the downtraffic was resumed. It
was not stated why the metals were in an unfit state at the
time, but doubtless it will form the subject of inquiry.
THE ACCIDENT AT WINDSOR.—The accident to
Mrs. Brand, the wife of Captain Brand, and
daughter of the Belgian Minis*, has terminated fatally.
The unfortunate young lady expired after her premature
confinement on Thursday evening, in spite of every medi-
cal attention, at the residence of her husband in the
cloisters of Windsor Castle. Naturally, the sad event has
much affected the families of Captain Brand and of his
Excellency M. Van de Weyer. Mrs. Brand, who was
married to Captain Brand at Bray Church, amid much re-
joicing, about two years back, was beloved by a large circle
of friends and relatives.

ANTICIPATED LOCK-OUT IN THE BUILDING TRADE.
—The Associated Society of Master Builders have
refused to comply with the demand of the carpenters and
joiners for an immediate advance of wages to 71d. per
hour, but promise to make an advance to 71d. on the Ist of
January next, and this morning each gave separate notice
to the men in his employ, that unless Messrs. Cubitt, whose
Men have gone out on strike upon this question, obtain a
sufficient supply of hands by Monday morning next, they
will proceed to the lock-out, which there is no doubt will
become general throughout the trade. The men show no
and those on strike from Messrs.
disposition to give way,
Cubitts receive an allowance of 20s. per week from the
trade funds.

A DOUBTFUL STORY.—The Courrier de l'lsere
relates the following extraordinary instance of de-
termination which occurred three days since at Miribel
Lanchatre, •in that department. A boy, 12 years of age,
named Dun-and, having climed a tree to take a bird's nest
built in the hole of a trunk, had just inserted his hand to
reach it when the branch on which he stood broke, and
being unable to withdraw his hand, he remained sus-
pended by it. In this predicament, seeing no help near,
he drew a pruning knife from his pocket, and cut off his
hand at the wrist. Having fallen at the foot of the tree
without further injury he walked home, whence, after a
first
dressing had been applied, he was conveyed to the
hospital at Grenoble.
ELECTIONEERING JOKES.—At Brighton, Mr. Moor
was sadly put out on the hustings by some one
raising
. up a large placard inscribed, in large letters, "Moor
in his Last Agonies." Mr. Christie, while vituperating his
opponents as imbecile, venal, &c., was silenced by a man
demanding
of him whether it was true that he was a mem-
