A CHAPTER OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—On Wed-
nesday, the Sunday-school children in connexion with
several of the Dissenting chapels of Birmingham, were
treated with a railway trip to Cheltenham. After leaving
the Birmingham station, and before the train had progressed
many miles, two of the carriages were found to have got off
the rails, and the consequence was a delay of some time.
After making all right, the train again started, but they
were doomed to a second check, in consequence of a portion
of the carriages becoming detached from the general train.
This occasioned another delay, but all having been adjusted,
the train once more started. but was again subjected to a
