TWENTY PERSONS DROWNED.

A terrible accident has just occured in Switzerland.
The Choral Society of Vevey had been to Gruyeres
to give a concert for the benefit of an orphan asylum,
and were returning by the valley of Allieres, when
some of them proposed an excursion on a lake which
exists on the plateau of Jaman. That place is cele-
brated for a delicious trout, which the inhabitants fish
for from a species of raft. Upon one of these about 30 of
the company embarked and bad attained the middle of the
lake, which is not above 600 yards in diameter, although
very deep, when their frail support became dislocated, and
sank with them. Although nearly all were good swimmers
20 were drowned.

ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON
AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.

On Monday afternoon an accident of an alarming na-
ture, but fortunately unattended with fatal consequences,
occurred near Greenfield Station, on the London and
North Western Railway. The two o'clock train from
Delph to Oldham has to stop twenty minutes at Green-
field, waiting for the train from Yorkshire, and is run
on to a siding in order to allow the express
to pass. The train, on Monday, was placed on the
siding as usual, and the express having passed the Oldham
train was signalled by the pointsman to back into the sta-
tion. The points, however, were not properly fixed, and
the train, instead of going on to the main line as expected,
ran on to a siding and came into collision with the stop-
block placed at the end of the line. As the train was
moving at a tolerably rapid speed, the collision was
severe, and many passengers were injured. The more
severe injuries were, however, received by the guard and
another guard on the same line who were in the van. The
van was placed next the engine, which ran into the end of
the van, cutting away the floor and jamming the two guards
between the end of the engine. The van is broken to pieces
and useless. The guards, although much bruised, are not
dangerously hurt.

THE CROYDON TRAGEDY.—John Carpenter Carver
was yesterday again brought up before the Croydon bench
of magistrates, charged with feloniously murdering his
wife, Mary Carver, at No. 36, South-end, Croydon, on the
26th of May. Some further evidence having been taken,
the prisoner was further remanded till Saturday next.

THE MURDERS IN GREECE. Another (the
thirteenth) instalment of correspondence, in regard to the
Greek murders, Was issued frota the Foreign Office yester-
day. '1 he first despatch. dated Achnutaga, May 4, is
addressed by Mr. Frank Noel to Mr. Edward Noel,
in which he gives an account of what took place from
the day he left Chalcis for Oropos up to the time
he left on the Thursday previous (the 12th). The
information contained in the document has been substan-
tially anticipated by other despatches, which have been
already received. In the inclosure in No 3, dated Misso-
longhi, May 18, Vice-Consul-Blakeney informs Mr. Erskine
that the famous brigand chief Deli bad been slain with five
or six of his followers. But the last despatch, dated Athens,
May 21, gives an account of the preliminary stage of the
trial of the brigands.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pill-.
Universal Curatives.—No one should brood over infir-eities
or permit intolerable pain to wear away the energies with-
out giving Holloway's remedies a fair and impartial trial.
They purify and heal— two qualities requiring no comment.
The pills exercise a wonderful power in purifying, regulat-
ing, and correcting tor idity of liver or kidneys ; they re-
move any temporary stagnation of blood, thus preventing
congestion of the lungs, liver, spleen, brain, or any other
organ. They act as alteratives, sedatives, or stimulants, by
their power over the nerves, which are the " governors" of
all animal, functions. From the use of one or both of Hollo-
way's restoratives the patient will obtain relief or immu-
nity from suffering.
