THE LATE FRIGHTFUL ACCI-
DENT ON THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER
RAILWAY.

(FROM A C)RREIPPONDENT

CHESTER, MAY 25, 4 P.M.—ln my last coMmunica-
tion, which Was written in a hurried warner to save the

po.t, I emitted to state that the Chester and Shrews

wiry is a double brie, and is c impleta as tar as Rhuabon,
aml which was opened a few months ago to the public
wider the insp. etion of General Bailey, who pronounced
it safe.

I ought here to explain that all the carriages were
not literally ainashed, but at the time I visited the spot,
from the tide coming in very strong. they were not vary
distinct to be set n ; ho-wever, two or three mere actually
No, and a first:class carriage which was fl-ated in pieces
on-to the race couve, bore evidence of what an awful
crash it must have been. It was cortun.ite it was such a
light train, otherwi,e the const quein..es must have been
terrible in the extreme. I should also state that the
bridge is a horizontal one, and hence the greater pres-
sum. It is certainly a neat affair, and that is all that
can be said about the structure, which required a vast
deal more strength to support heavy trucks carrying iron
and ballast, one of which, w.th ten to twelve carriages,
only two hours before passed over, and no doubt had
caused the girders to give wsy. This seems to be the
general opinion, that the girders had snapped, asunder,
as evidenced from a boy who was fishing close by and
witnessed its opening and the fall. The part that fell,
as I stated in my last, is on the opposite side of the
river frOm the race-course, and on the south side. The
northern part of the line still remains perfect. The
engineer showed the greatest presence 'of titian and
courage, fix on finding the engine sinleng, he in
an instant put the Aearn in full force, which caused
the engine to spring forward like tut arrow, clearing
I=rselt from the tender in a most miraculous manner,

the chains and bars of iron attached to 'the tender snap.
ping like glass; this caused the tezit'!--r• to twist against
the buttress cf the bridge, pitching the poor stoker (who
had one toot on the tender and the other on the engine)
on his back, and the engineer saw that he was killed in-
stanter! The engine, of course, broke away for some
distance, and on the engineer having at length stopped
its further progress, be with great forethought turned
on to the down-line, went over the other part of the
bridge (which none but a courageous man would have
attempted after such an occurrence), and down to the
station to give intOrniation to the officials. The poor
t, pow could hardly give utterance to a word, but said—
" My mate is killed. and all the carriages in the Dee !"
It is reported that Mr. Stephenson, the engineer to the
1101)1n ad Company (to whom the bridge belongs), was
on the bridge yesterday, and pronounced it safe.
From Mr. Hill, the able and active superintendent of
police (who is always at his post when required) I have
gleaned the following particulars:—

KILLED.
