DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE
LONDON AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.
Much alarm was caused in Kendal on Monday
morning last, in consequence of the delay of the train
due at a quarter before twelve o'clock, and its arrival
two hours after, brought the tidings that a fearful
collision had taken place near Milnthorpe, involving
a great destruction of property, with the loss of one,
if not more lives. Various rumours were abroad ;
but we believe a luggage train from the south had
preceded the passenger train by a short distance, and
in order to give the latter an opportunity of passing
it at Milnthorpe, had moved off the down-line on to
the up-line, where it was left remaining. The
luggage-train consisted of forty-one carriages, and
had an engine both before and after it. In conse-
quence of its great length, it could not be placed on
the sidings, and was therefore " shunted" off, as we
have said, on to the up line. While thus waiting, a
cattle-train, containing upwards of 160 fat cattle for
the Manchester market, came dashing on at a speed
of 25 miles an hour, and whether it was imperfectly
signalled, or not signalled in sufficient tune,
it ran into the other train with a fearful crash.
The sight is described as appalling. The rails
were torn up for several yards, and a scene
of havoc was presented which baffles descriation.
The two engines that came into collision were
smashed to pieces, and the carriages and trucks
strewed the grounds in all directions and in all posi-
tions, while the poor beasts were many of them most
shockingly maimed, end lay helpless one upon
another, uttering, in their torments, the most terrible
cries of agony. Some of them were thrown on the
fire. pan and literally roasted alive, while one of them
was thrown under the engine, where a stream of hot
water was poured continuously upon it, presenting
an object of pain, we are told, such as was hardly ever
before witnessed. Some of the animals took the op-
portunity of escape, and gallopped away, and have
not yet been recovered. The two engine-drivers
belonging to the luggage-train were off their engines
we are told, in an adjoining public-house, and the
stoker, seeing the cattle train dashing onward,
jumped off and escaped with only a few bruises.
The northern end of the Milnthorpe station presents
a considerable curve, and also an incline, and a train
coming in that direction could not see the red flag,
which is the signal to stop, till within fifty yards of
the spot, unless a man had been sent forward about a
quarter of a mile towards the other point of the
curve. But we are told the driver, who will be well
remembered as being on the Medusa when the
unfortana'e man Gawin lost his life, shortly before
the opening of the line at Birklands, was dashing on
at a fearful rate, in violation of all the rules laid down
to be observed on nearing a station. The stoker who
accompanied him was thrown out, and both severely
bruised and scalded, and after lingering in great
his

so of
strong
that throughout there was gross neglect on all sides
It was not known that a cattle train was coming, but
if the engine-drivers belonging to the luggage train
had been at their post, it is thought they might have
succeeded in backing their carriages, so as to allow
sufficient space for the other train to arrest it head-
long speed. The engine-driver of the cattle train,
who is known by the expressive but somewhat coarse
.soubriquet of " Hell Fire Jack," is in custody, we
understand, at Lancaster. The train from the south
came up about ten minutes after the accident, but the
havoc that had been made prevented it from proceed-
ing ; and on the arrival of the north train, an hour
and a half after, a transference of passengers, from
each train was effected, and the carriages returned.
Mr. Worthington, the managing engineer of the
line, was fortunately in the train from Lan•
caster, and evinced the utmost promptitude and
energy under the trying circumstances. Men were
gathered from every available point, from Shap, Tebay,
Clifton, and a force of upwards of a hundred hands
was soon mustered, clearing the rails of the wreck
with which they were strewed, and replacing the rails
which had been torn up. The line was perfectly re-
stored by the afternoon of the following day, when
every trace of the sad affair was removed. Mr.
Hasell and the other directors also visited the spot
immediately on hearing of the catastrophe, and Mr.
Hasell has announced his purpose to be present at the
inquest. It was fortunate there were so few human
lives put in jeopardy. One of the engines which has
been destroyed (Mountain Ranger) was a very power-
ful one, and both of them, though they had been some
time in use, were in capital working order. The loss
to the company, it is supposed, cannot be less than
5,0001. A coroner's inquest was held on Friday,
when after a lengthened inquiry a verdict of " Acci-
dental death" was returned.—Kendal Mercury.
ACCIDENT ON TOE NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE
RAILWAY.—There was an accident on the Newcastle
and Carlisle Railway on Saturday night. The half-
past six train from Carlisle ran off the line near
Broadwath, owing to the blocks being uncovered, and
the crank of the engine-wheel breaking, fortunately
the engine was speedily brought to a stand. The
passengers immediately got out much frightened, but
none of them injured (with the exception of a man
who got two teeth knocked out), and they were con-
veyed to Wetheral by the train which came up from
Newcastle, about half an hour afterwards.— Carlisle

that town on the night of the Bth, and had, up to the
15th, been rapidly spreading, but afterwards declin-
ing, had carried off 133 out of 360 attacked. This
disease had also broken out at the close of August in
Bagdad, where, on the Ist of September, out of six-
teen attacks, six had proved fatal ; but at Kars and
Erzeroom, on the 4th idem, it had nearly ceased,
leaving only a few isolated cases of a mild type. The
Austrian steam-packet Stambool, which arrived at
Constantinople from Trebizond, on the 21st of
September, with 256 passengers, had had three cases
on the voyage, of which two died, and the third was
not likely to survive. She was ordered to ride out a
quarantine of ten days at the Dardanelles. On the
4th of October the Board of Health at Malta came to

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 17.—We have great pleasure
Ln announcing that it is the intention of the Admiralty
to form a Channel squadron for permanent service in
the British seas. This is as it should be, and we con-
gratulate the country upon the commencement of the
naval defence of England.—Nautical Standard.
A recommendation having emanated from the (late)
Surveyor of the Navy's office, urging that as great
deterioration attends new ships from the influence of
tropical climates, and submitting that as far as pos-
sible all new ships should remain in ordinary for a
certain period before being commissioned,- viz.:—
~
Sloops two years ; frigates 'ati4 •of' the line,
three to four years; and that o hoop-should be
launched until her frame and planking have been
seasoned at least two years, and frigates and ships of
the
.line from three to four years; and further, that
all small vessels should be planked with teak or
mahogany, provided it can be procured on reasonable
terms compared with. English oak, by which means
vessels would be more eligible for service in the
tropics, and a great saving in the expense of repairs
would be effected; the Lords of the Admiralty have
adopted such suggestion, and issued an order to the
heads of all the dockyards to observe and carry into
effect its provisions.
Now, there can be no doubt about the salutary
effect the observance of such an order must have in
the better building of her Majesty's ships ; such an
order, or a very similar one, has been promulgated on
more than one occasion since the Surveyor of the
Navy was last appointed; but how comes it that it
was never observed with regard to the construction
of his own ships ? All the Surveyor's first produc-
tions were hurried off the stocks and sent to tropical
climates—the Vernon, Snake, Serpent, Vestal, Pique,
Spartan, and a host of others for instance. This
order at once stops the progress of all the new ships
ordered to be laid down in the present year, many of
whose frame timbers are converted and placed on the
slip. Fincham's Plumper would have been up in the
frame in another week, but now her timbers must lie
untouched. Such an order, therefore, as that just
reproduced by the Surveyor after his retirement from
office, looks very like the realization of the fable of
" The Dog and the Manger."
Their Highnesses the Prinee and Duke of Hol-
stein Glucksberg arrived at Gosport on Friday after-
noon and put up at the Railway Hotel, whence they
visited the numerous objects of interest abounding in
the neighbourhood, and left the same night for South-
ampton by the South-Western Railway.
The Firefly steam surveying vessel, Commander D.
Buchan, was paid off, " all standing," as it is called,
yesterday, and hauled off from the dockyard along-
side the bolus. This paying off "all standing" is as
complete a piece of humbug as can be imagined. It
consists in unreeving and returning the far greater
portion of the running rigging, and a considerable
portion of the stores, striking topmasts, and " making
all snug," ostensibly, that on immediate or ultimate
re-commissioning the vessel may be so far advanced
in her refit. Nothing can be more fallacious than
such a supposition. No sooner is the pendant re-
hoisted than the new commander takes the oppor-
tunity of undoing everything that has been left appa-
rently complete by his predecessor, and the vessel is
sure to be stripped to the girtlines. So that instead
of gaining time and saving money by this method,
there is always considerable loss thereby, as the new
hands, being all strangers, are never so adroit at the
stripping as the original crew would have been. Be-
sides, the stimulus of " stripping to be paid off" is
wanting. In the case of the Firefly, the vessel has
been In harbour twelve days, in which time many a
ship of the line has been completely dismantled, with
a clean swept hold. Why not have employed the
crew of the Firefly in a similar way? It appears that
the vessel could not have been paid off before, the
pay books not being prepared. The crew might
therefore as well have been employed in doing that
which will employ another crew a fortnight or three
weeks more, as have been standing idle. Very in-
different, economy this !
The Pembroke, 72, advanced ship, was brought
from her moorings yesterday to be overhauled and
caulked in dock.

Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., went out yes-
terday in the Myrtle steamer to Spithead, and in-
spected the Cambrian, 40, Commodore Flumridge.
The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-com-
manding E. F. Roberts, was undocked yesterday, and
is ordered to tow a mud engine to Scotland.
The Birkenhead steam-vessel, Commander A. IL
Ingram, was docked as soon as the Myrmidon was
removed.
The officers and crew of the Comet have at last re-
turned to that vessel from the Fire Queen,
latter ha 3 been laid up alongside the Britannia, 120,
in charge of her engineers and stokers for the pre-
sent. Rumour states that there is to be a complete
change in regard to the tenders, which are in future
to be steamers instead of sailing vessels, Undine and

THE USE OF ARSENIC,---AS many sad catas-
trophes have been caused by the use of arsenic inadver-
tently taken for flour, in addition to the use made of it
for the commission of crimes, it is proposed by the
Council of Salubrity of Paris, that all persons who,
whether for the destruction of vermin or otherwise,
keep arsenic on their premises, should mix with it Prus-
sian blue, to change the colour, and nux vomica, the
bitterness of which would immediately cause the pre-
sence of arsenic to be detected by the taste of that
ingredient.— Galignani.
Lord and Lady liolland entertained Viscount and
Viscountess Palmerston and a distinguished party to

The parties present expressed satisfaction at the
above exhibit, which, in the event of the estimates
contained in it being pretty well realised, would admit
of the payment of a dividend of about 9s. in the
pound. It is understood to have been prepared by
Messrs. Quilter and Ball, the accountants, who were
judiciously engaged for the purpose by the solicitors
to the estate, Messrs. Crowder and Maynard. Certain
explanations were made to the meeting, which ap-
peared to be well received. It was stated, for instance,
that there were dependencies at Calcutta, amounting
to 60,000!., not yet remitted, but that Messrs. Lyall,
Brothers, and Co., refraine,l from bringing forward
the item, as it was impossible for them to form any-
thing approaching to an accurate estimate of what
might be netted from this source, although it was
hoped that Messrs. Lyall, Matheson and Co., would
he able, by the sacrifice of the partners' capital in that
house, which amounted, at the last stock taking, to
110,000!., to meet all their engagements. Some fur-
ther remittances may, it appears, be looked for on this
account by the three succeeding direct mails. The
friendly feeling which prevailed among the parties
present must have been gratifying to the partners of
the unfortunate establishment.
The suspension of the firm of Messrs. Frederick
Barnes and Co., who have been extensively engaged
in the exportation of guns, swords, iron, and other
implements, to the colonies, and other business, was
announced in the course of the morning. The
house was very respectable, having connexions at
Birmingham and Sheffield, and its failure is much to
be regretted. Its liabilities are estimated at about
50,000!. or 60,000/.

Discounts were very high at the Bank of England
to-day. As much as 8 per cent. was said to have
been the rate taken. It will have been an important
day at Liverpool, a large amount of American remit-
tances having fallen due. In London, a very considerable
sum, which came over by the same packet, will be
payable on Monday.
TIMES.—A meeting of the creditors of Messrs.
Thomas Usborne and Son, whose suspension took place
at the end of August, was held to day, when the fol
'owing was the statement presented
