—.........____

A frightful and fatal accident occurred on Satur-
day to one of the guards of the London, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway Company, of the name of Chase.
It appears that after bringing up from Brighton the train
due at London-bridge at twelve o'clock, he returned to
New Cross, whore he resided, to get his dinner 4having
to return to Brighton in the afternoon), on an engine
which was drawing some horse-boxes which had come up
by a previous train from Drayton. As they neared New
Cross the train was slackened, and the unfortunate man
sprang from the engine on to the platform, from whence
he fell backwards, and the whole of the train passed over
him, crushing him in a most frightful manner. The poor
fellow was an old servant, and much respected by those
with whom his employment brought him into contact.
Ile has left a very large family to lament his loss.
