ACCIDENTS.-011 Wed-
nesday,A CHAPTER OF RAILWAY
several of the Dissenting chapels of Birmingham, were
treated with a railway trip to Cheltenham. After leaving
the Sunday-school children in connexion with
the Birmingham station, and. before the train had progressed
many milee, two of the carriages were found to have got off
the rails, and the consequence Ivas 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
similar mischance. The only results were some inconveni-
ence and delay, and after these little annoyances a pleasant
day was spent, and all returned home well pleased with the
excursion.
General Narvaez has arrived in Faris,
