ALARMING COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND LINE.•••-•
An alarming collision occurred to the Leicester and Lon-
don mail, when near Kettering station, though it was
happily unattended with loss of life. The train in question
was an express,' which leaves Leicester at ten minutes
past six o'clock at night, and arrives at St. Pancras at
8.35, without any stoppage. On Saturday night the train
which was not very full, went on well till it approached
Kettering, where a luggage train, was in the act of
crossing from the main line to the siding, in order to get
clear off the express, which was known to be about due.
The driver had not time to reduce the speed much before
he ran right into the luggage, cutting it clean in two, and
proceeded onward for some distance before his train could
be stopped. Many of the luggage waggons were broken to
pieces, and others knocked off the line, which was blocked;
but, strange to relate, the express carriages are said to
:have been scarcely scratched. The line was shortly cleared
but the traffic was delayed for several hours.
THE FRENCH FLEET.—The Dagbladet, a Danish
n ewspaper, gives an exceedingly unfavourable account of
the French Fleet. As this paper is warmly in favour of
France, its statements are all the more noticeable.—" It
seems as if the want of order, preparation, and of
a certain system of, plans and tactics, which have contri-
'buted to the bitter defeats of the French army, were to
lave been met with in a still greater degree amongst
'the Baltic squadron, and it is difficult to speak
-upon this subject without giving way to strong
.expressions. The simple fact that during the
last four years no French squadron has hewn itself
within the Baltic, in o:rder to gain some knowledge and
idea of the ports, &c., :thews a great want of foresight. In
fact, so ignorant were the French respecting the Baltic,
that even superior officers were of opinion that after the
middle of October the Baltic was icebound. Further, as
France declared war, and not Prussia, it would only have
been prudent for six..or eight ironclads to have sailed out
from Cherbourg on the 16th July, to chase the enemy's
fleet from the high seas, to shut up the enemy's seaports,
and cut off all. commerce and communication by water. In-
stead of taking these steps a delay of 8 or )9 days occurred.
In all cases these ships were started in such a condition as
even in time of peace would be considered disgraceful. It
was no doubt this knowledge of their imperfect appear-
ance which, caused them to 'Keep so far away from Coßen-
hag-en, and -therefore keep aloof from any Danish Avisit,
although they were not in a position to go without the
rovisions Denmark could have offered them. A. mostimportant portion their fitting out and preparing, we
not intend to state what portion, was done in the Baltic,
the men had clothes served out to them and the shi,ns
were supplied with stores of numerous kinds down to
newspapers, and not the slightest preparation for provid-
ing any of these things had been made at home prior to
their departure."
