Yesterday afternoon, at half-past twos he tralbr,AlkciNwjk
Brussels, which left at half-past sm -en, arrived without "
making the usual signals at the veryl spot where the catas-
trophe of Wednesday took place. The rat,'s over which it
had to pass were encumbered with cranes tit...lt had been used
to take the remains of the waggons out of the wat `er. The
train being at full speed broke these cranes, and ti -pieces:
struck the soldiers and workmen who were on the be nk with
such Violence, that sixteen of them were more or less
.wounded. One had his thighbroken.--A friend of omrs, who
come from Brussels by thie train, saw him carried away."
The following has since b ten sent round to the journals by
the compary :
" The representative of the board of directors, who arrived
last night by the nine o'clock has confirmed the details
transmitted in the. morning to th .e company. The number of
dead is 14, and that of the woune'ed 10, two of whom griev-
ously. The death of an aide-de-ck.'IPP of General Oudinot
was erroneously stated. (His wouna,‘ are, however, exceed-
ingly severe.) The passengers of the train which went off
the rails speak in high terms of the Alev. '46 dness of the men
belonging to the company. The boark.l of directors is
pleased to publicly render homage to the 'nduct of these
men. It has raised to the grade of inspect, or of the first
class M. Hovell, sub-inspector, who after having% been himself
precipitated into the water, and obliged to escap, e by swini-
ming, had sufficient coolness to organise all tbkl help de-
manded by the circumstances, and did not quit .his trains
before all the carriages were raised up. The co. nductor,
Hocq, who saved eight persons, has been named ..chef de
convoi. M. Haillot, head of the service at Douai, ;nod M.
stuber, in a similar situation at Arras, manifested the greatest
intelligence in these sad circumstances. Two of the engineers
of the company are on the spot to examine into, conjoiney
with thB engineers of the Governn_lent, the causes of the
accident."

ELECTION MOVEMIENTS.
MANCHESTER.
All remains as quiet in this city as the most ardent lover
of peace could desire. The Right Honourable Gentleman
the Vic,-President of the „Board of Trade, has addressed
himself to a very large body of the electors ; but beyond
that, as not the slightest show of opposition was . Amide,
nothing the least exciting has been dont.
The nomination (no doubt the election also), is fixes.l fox
Monday, the lath, when Mr. M. Gibson will be returned.

LICHFIELD.
No doubt whatever is made of the re-election of Lord
Alfred Paget, as no opposition has been started. The nomi-
nation is, we believe, appointed for Wednesday, the 15th
instant.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.
No opposition to the return of Colonel Anson, who has
accepted the office of Clerk of the Ordnance, has been spoken
of, and his return is undoubted.
The election will take place on the 27th, at Lichfield.

THE WEST RIDINTG. „
Lord Morpeth stands unopposed—eve, 1 Mr- r errand has
not the temerity to speak of contesting the election with the
West Riding's own. at Wakefield,
The nomination is fixed for the 18th inst., .
when of course Lord Morpeth, the new Chie CLlnmissioller
of Woods and Forest?, will be returned.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
➢lr. William Brown will not be opposed in contesting the
seat rendered vacant by the raising of Lord Francis Egerton
to the Upper House as Lord Ellesmere. The free-traders of
South Lancashire will return him as the colleague of Mr.
Entwisle.
The nomination is fixed for the 21st inst., at Newton;

OXFORD.
In consequence of Mr. Maclean, the Member for Oxford,
having been made a bankrupt, that city has virtually but one
Member to represent it. Under these circumstances it is ex-
pected that should not Mr. Maclean resign the important
trust confided to him immediately, a meeting of the electors
will be held for the purpose of requesting him to do so. Great
dissatisfaction is felt by the Conservative party at the humi-
liating position they are placed in, end weThave no doubt but
that the greater portion of them will join the Liberals in call-
ing upon the Honourable Gentleman to r..'sign ; in the event
of his doing so, it is rumoured that a requis:tion will be pre-
sented to a gentleman residing at Oxford, vvlho from his
thorough business habits and general intelligence', has long
been thought by a portion of the constituency a prOrr per-
son to represent this ancient borough.

PLYMOUTH.

SATURDAY NIORT.—The polling commenced this morn.-
ing, Lord Ebrington led from the first, and hoer after hour
increased his majority. At the close of the poll the num-
bers were—

PERTH, JULY 11, 1846.—Mr. Fox Maule was to-day rs-
elected for the borough of Perth without apposition.
A. D. gREIG, Esq., proposed, and Bailie CLUNIE seconded

which he was connected to persevere in the footsteps of com-
mercial and general reform. •
