ANOTHER DISASTER ON THE
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.
On Friday evening last another collision took place
near Bishop Bridge, ou the passenger train, which left
Edinburgh at a quarter to eight o'clock, reaching Glas-
gow near to eleven. The passengers were thrown into
the greatest state of terror and alarm. They have called
a meeting on the subject this day (Saturday), at one
o'clock, in the Black Bull Hotel. It is surely high time
that the Government of the country should look into
the state of this railway.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.
