ACCIDENTS ON RAIL WA

T. the list we gave last week of railways, the Miles
aid
run, and accidents which have occurred, we host to
the returns of the following :
The ' d
Great Western has run 29,200,000 miles, earrie
1,520,000 passengers, without any accident, fatal
otherwise to a passenger from its opening, 2 years so
three months.
The Brandling Junction has run 92,876 miles, 110,d
carried 617,000 passengers without any fatal, and °IPY
two trifling accidents, neither of which prevented th::
parties from going about their usual business, in la
months, to the sth instant.
The Bolton and Leigh has run V 3,480 miles; ear'
rind 674,870 passengers in 9i years, to the 15th ser
temher. with the following accidents :—one passenger,
attempting to get into the train when it was starting'
got his foot bruised ; another, who had got upon bad
gon going off with the train, was thrown off and 118
his. arm injured ; a third had a slight contusion oats'
awned by a collision ; and a fourth was killed by Jam
ing off a train going at full speed, in consequence, as
was believed, of his being intoxicated. The only act':
dents attributable to the railway are obviously the
"slight contusion," and the injured arm.
The Dundee and Arbroath, opened October the Btl'
1838, (now 23 months) has, to the Ist September
carried 378,043 passengers (the miles run not state../
with the following solitary accident, namely, the broil!.
ing of the leg of a passenger who had, contrary to tP

regulations, got into the luggage waggon.
The Arbroath and Forfar was opened January tme
3d, 1839, (now 20 months) and has run 59,000 olilet
and carried 175,000 passengers, to September 10tur
One accident only has happened ; that is, a paoe°ll4
broke his leg by jumping off the train while in well',"
Thus are added to our former list, from these 0
railways, only one of which is a large passenger
3,365,000 passengers carried ; and on four 001-;
the lines 29,575,000 miles run, without eon fatal le,,
dent, and only two slight bruises fairly attributable:.
the railways ; for we repudiate all accidents which in`
drunken or headstrong rays of men. violating Ode°
and lutes, bring upon thetus:dves. Th.. account filer::
fore will stand thus ; about 256 millions of miles bs
been run, and 14 millions of persons carried with en /
two fatal accidents from the railway systern.--Raillea9
