RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

An accident of a very serious character occurred
on Saturday night, near the Newton-road Station on
the northern division of the London and North-
Western Railway. In consequence of the express
train from Liverpool being twenty minutes behind its
time at Wolverhampton it loft that town at a more
than usually rapid speed. The train consisted of the
" Colonel" engine, which is one of great power, a
tender, three carriages, and a luggage van. The rate
at which it proceeded created a tremor and oscillation
in the carriages so great, that the passengers with
difficulty were able to keep their seats, and ulti•
mutely, about three hundred yards south of New-
ton-bridge, the engine ran off the rail., and dashed
against the embankment. The carriages, by the
concussion, were turned almost completely over, some
of them being prevented falling to the ground by the
telegraph and other posts. The luggage van was
thrown completely on to the down line of rails. The
engine embedded itself three feet deep in the embank-
ment. It would be difficult to describe the scene
which immediately followed. It is stated that in the
centre compartment of one of the carriages there was
a party of five gentlemen, who were pitched against
each other in the greatest consternation. They tried
in vain to lower the windows, and it was not until a
Mr. Smith, a whip-maker, commenced demolishing
them, that he and his companions extricated them-
selves from the carriages. Air. Shuard, an architect
residing at Paddington, and who, with two ladies,
occupied one of the compartments of a carriage, nar•
rowly escaped death, and is much injured.
When the confusion had somewhat subsided, and as-
sistance had arrived, Mr. Shuard was found lying under
one of the carriages, so completely wedged in between
the broken pieces that it was found impossible to ex-
tricate him until the carriage was raised.
Shortly after the express engine ran off the line, a
pilot engine, which had been sent from Birmingham
to ascertain the cause of delay of the express, made
its appearance on the down line, and the driver, not
being aware of the accident, absolutely cut through
the luggage van, which lay on the line, and having
run along the earth upwards of 100 yards, fell into a
ditch. Had the carriages in the express train, like the
luggage van, been thrown on the down line, the loss
of life must have been frightful. Joyce, the driver of
the Pilot, and Johnson, the stoker, were injured, and
removed to their homes. The driver and stoker of
the Colonel were also thrown from their engine, but
were not seriously hurt.
So soon as the accident became known in the
neighbourhood, prompt assistance was rendered by
the inhabitants. Messrs. Dickenson and Aber-

crombie, surgeons of Westbromwich, were indefati-
gable in their attentions, and the Earl of Dartmouth,
who resides at Sandwell Hall, in the vicinity of
Newton. bridge, on being informed of the accident,
dispatched a team of horses to assist in removing the
engine and carriages. A train from Walsall having
arrived, the passengers were conveyed to Birming-
ham. Mr. Shuard and Captain Beard, of Stirling,
who it appeared had &so been severely shaken,
were conveyed to the Queen's Hotel. Mr. Robinson,
the station-master, was unremitting in his attention
to the sufferers. It was found, upon examination,
Vuz,t . Slx\vavcVe. loft 10% we,. Vvolx.c, tw. maces, 1
and that be :was suffering from internal injuries.
None of the other passengers sustained any serious
injuries, although as a matter of course considerably
frightened. The rails where the accident occurred
are said to have been much damaged and broken up.

FATAL FALL IN THE STREET.—Yesterday, Mr,
Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on view
of the body of Anne Collins, aged SR, a maiden lady of
independent fortune, whose death was occasioned by a
fall under the following distressing circumstances:—lt
appeared that the deceased, on the 25th ult., was walking
under the archway of the Eastern Counties Railway, in
Globe-lane, when she slipped off, and fell in the road,
which had been lowered for the purpose of allowing a
thoroughfare for vehicles under the railway. She was
assisted up and conveyed to her home, No. 242, White-
chapel-road, when her right leg was found fractured.
She was instantly removed to the London Hospital,
where the leg was amputated. She there gradually
sank and died on Friday last. It was stated in the
course of the inquiry, that there ought to be a railing
by the side of the footpath for the protection of the pas-
sengers. Verdict, " Accidental Death, and the jury
recommended that a railing should be erected along the
footpath, by the directors of the Eastern Counties
Railway, and that the Coroner should write to the
secretary.
SAGACITY OF A SPANIEL.—Yesterday an inquest
was taken by Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on
view of the body of Eliza Sergeant, aged six years,
whose death was caused from injuries by fire. It ap-
peared that the deceased was left, last Thursday week,
in a room on the ground floor at No. 1, Ashton-place,
Poplar, with two younger children, by their mother, who
had gone out to pledge an article for the purpose of buy-
ing some bread. Upon hearing the screams of the chil-
dren, a little dog jumped through a pane of glass into
the room ; and on their mother's return, which was in a
few minutes, she saw the faithful animal tearing away
the deceased's clothes with his mouth and paws. Upon
his seeing the mother, he went up to her and laid hold
of her gown, to draw her towards the child. She suc-
ceeded in extinguishing the fire, and the deceased was
removed to the London Hospital, where she died on
Friday last from the effect of the injuries. Verdict,
accidental death.
A FACT FOR ANGLERS.—One day last week, Mr.
Thomas Massicks, of Greenodd, Lonsdale, captured a
very fine fluke with an artificial fly, whilst angling in the
channel for morts and sprods. Some of the most expert
anglers in this neighbourhood state this capture to be the
first instance of the kind which has conic to their know-
, locige,—Kendal Mercury.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO BAL-

MORAL.

Aker proroguing Parliament this day, her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and suite, will immediately depart for
‘Voolwich Dockyard, and embark in the royal steam-
yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence, G.C.11.

Her Majesty will be received at the dockyard by
the Earl of Auckland, G.C.8., Rear-Admiral Dun-
das, C. 8., M.P., the lion. Captain Berkeley, C. 8.,
M.P., Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., M.P., Captain
Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B , Surveyor of the Navy,
&0., Lords and Officers of the Board of Admiralty ;
and by Commodore Superintendent Sir J. Gordon
Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., as Colonel-Commandant, at
the head of the Royal Dockyard Brigade. The Ad-
miralty barge and shallop will be in attendance on
their Lordships.
The Queen, Prince Albert, and suite will embark
about 5 P.M , when the Royal yacht, and the Black
Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander
Cook, and the Vivid, steam-packet, Master Com-
mander Smithett, will drop down to the Lower
Hope, where the squadron will anchor for the night;
and, attended by the Virago, steam-sloop, Com-
mander Harris, who will join the Royal squadron at
the Nore, will proceed direct to Aberdeen, at day-
light on Wednesday morning, without stoppage, the
sloop taking coals enough to supply deficiencies in the
other three vessels.

Her Majesty, it is expected, will land at Aberdeen
on Friday morning, and proceed en route to Balmoral
the same day.
At Aberdeen the most extensive preparations are
being made to give the Sovereign a right royal and
loyal reception. No expense or labour is spared on
the occasion. The Royal yacht will go alongside
the jetty, and on landing the Queen and Prince
Albert will pass through one of the most magnifi-
cent triumphal arches ever erected, the decorations
of which are most tastefully executed ; the segments
are surmounted by a crown, over which is inscribed
" "Victoria,"
.with stars on each side. The crown
is entwined by a garland of evergreen, gracefully
dropping in festoons, " V." on the right, and " A. on
the left ; and the garlands enclosing the inscription
" Welcome." Leading through this triumphal arch
the Royal party enter the carriages on the platform
of the boundary wall of the dock, opposite to which
is erected an ampitheatre to contain 1,500 of the
principal inhabitants of Aberdeen and neighbourhood,
admitted by ticket, whilst ample accommodation for
the public is here given in the open space in front of
the Royal landing place and on the Waterloo Quay.
The strictest precautions have been taken to prevent
intrusion on the Royal route, and with this view the
road along the quay has been railed off, leaving a pas-
sage of 60 feet clear.
Proceeding along the quay, the Royal cortege
comes out on the open space formerly the Plain
Sta nes, now ornamented
memoryno bl e granite
of
the statue,-
autcuhe.,
heroic size, erected to
beloved late Duke of Gordon, and will enter upon the
High-street, Aberdeen, from which will be presented
to the Royal view one of the most noble vistas that any
town in the kingdom of Great Britain can boast of.
Thence, it is understood, her Majesty will proceed
direct to Balmoral, by Banchory, o iveiir
and Ballata. Here tat. Queen will enter the High-
lands by one of the most romantic and beautiful rock-
passes that even that far-famed region can offer to
Sovereign admiration. This pass, from its narrow-
ness and precipitousness, could be defended by a
' handful of determined troops against a force of any
amount.
The forest 'of Balmoral, which is about 54 miles
from Aberdeen, affords a rare combination of moun-
tain, wood, field, and flood. The deer-forest extends
to the summit of the far-famed poetical Loch N-Na-
gar. The mosses of this district abound with grouse,
and the beautiful mountain itself is the resort of
abundance of ptarmigan and the white hare. The
whole forest includes an area of from 15 to 20 miles.
The castle, which has been recently built, is most
felicitously situated on a rich platform, on a winding
of the river Dee, possessing in its immediate neigh-
bourhood a most charming contrast to the noble and
rugged scenery with which the forest abounds.
it is said that her Majesty's visit will not be ex-
tended beyond a fortnight.

o'clock, a fire broke out in a stackyard situated in the
Sand-fields, ono of the suburbs of the borough, and which
has resulted in the almost total destruction of two stacks
of excellent hay, ono weighing upwards of twenty tons,
the property of Mr. William Sinclair, and the other be-
longing to Mr. Humphrey Page, which weighed more
than three tons. No sooner were the flames perceived
than the police on duty in various parts of the town ran
to the scene of the disaster, and the fire brigade, under
the command of Inspector Meldrum, having conveyed
thither two of their best engines, great efforts were made
to prevent the extension of the fire, but, notwithstanding
their exertions, a very small portion only of the hay was
rescued from the flames. The police have learned suffi-
cient to convince them that the fire was caused by an in-
cendiary; and they are now in pursuit of the guilty
party, with a good prospect of effecting his capture.
'rho damage (upwards of 100/.) is covered by an in-
surance in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Fire.
