As yet we have had no betting; in fact, the town has been
thrown cif its balance by an accident of a most alarming nature
that befel the special train this afternoon. From the hasty aF•
count we have picked up, it would appear that the train
consisted of two engines, three horse-boxes, with hacks, and
e
eight or nine carriages, and that it had proceeded not meoh_
than nine or ten miles from Shoreditch before the firstes
gine jerked the other off the line, and the horse-bt
be-
coming detached, were overturned' into the

of the line. Of the carriages, all went over but three,

before the unfortunate horses were extricated, or the full
extent of the mischief ascertainen ; one of the engines was
then sent back to the Shoreditch station, and fresh carriages
having baen forwarded, the passengers, amongst whom were
Lords Chesterfield and Maidstone, were sent on, and, about
two hours after the proper time, reached Newmarket.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
MONDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK. —The Sub-
acription: rooms were opened last night as usual, but so
entirely was the attention of every person present en-
grossed by the accident to the special train, that the
reading of the list was a mere ceremony; not a bet was
laid. It was at first stated that all the carriages had been
overturned ; we. believe, however, that the follow-
ing b id account will be found to be pretty near the
truth :-The train, which was started expressly for the
Newmarket visitors, consisted of fire horse boxes, one
truck, and six or eight carriages, most of them first
class. It was drawn by two powerful new engines, and
travelled with great velocity until between Edmonton and
Potter's-bar. The fore,wheels of the second engine were
then listed off the rails, and directly after were dragged
on again. The jerk, however, threw the hind wheels off,
and almost instantaneously the first horse-box also went
off the rail. Providentially the chain that connected it
with the tender broke, and the engines became detached.
The train, however, had acquired so great an impetus,
that the box swung round, and fell over into a
Wide and deep sheet of water at the side of the
line ; the other boxes shared the same fate,
the collision being so fearful that the first
Was smashed to pieces. The first carriage was
tilted up against one of the telegraph posts,
all, we believe, were off the rail, and the la,t was over-
turned. Some idea of the shock may be formed, when
we state that the horse boxes and truck, laid parallel
with the carriages, 1. e., precisely in an opposite direction
to that in which they had started ; the engines, on be-
coming detached, proceeded two or three hundred yards,
and were then stopped. It is miraculous that the only
tersons injured were a guard and one of the porters, and
beyond a few contusions, the passengers escaped.
The horses were not so fortunate; one poor an'mal was
drowned, another had its back broken, and three or four
others were more or less hurt. It is due to the secretary
of the company and its servants, that every possible as-
Instance was rendered, and that one of the engines hav-
ing been immediately dispatched to Shoreditch, extra
carriages were a: tached to the two o'clock train, and by
about half-past three, the passengers proceeded on their
journey, reaching Newmarket between two and three
hours after the proper time, some with their luggage
(none the better for an immersion in the water), and
some without any. The accident is accounted for in
various ways, but is most commonly attributed to the
greatness of the speed, and the use of two engines, when
one would have b, en amply sufficient : that two were
used, was owing to the determination of the directors to
prevent anything in the shape of disappointment or
delay.
Whether the report of the accident had any influence
on the. Metropolitans, certain it is, that the arrivavls this
morning were less numerous than we had calculated
upon. The attendance, however, included most of the
regular frequenters of the meetings, and the general
muster on the heath was about an average. The
weather was favourable and the sports (albeit) lacking a
