NEWBURY, SEPT. 11.—At to-day's market we have
only a moderate supply of wheat, by far the larger por-
tion consisting of the new crop, the quality and condi-
tion of which aro highly satisfactory. At the com-
mencement of the market a slight concession was de-
demanded, which holders refused to accede to, and ulti-
mately a fair clearance was effected, at fully the rates of
last week. Barley, but little in offer, and full rates
maintained. Beans, oats, and Peas, short supply, with
a fair demand, and late rates fully sepported.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 12.—The weather continues of
the most splendid character for the securing of our
northern harvest. At our Corn Exchange this morning
the business was only moderate. Old foreign wheat was
neglected, and a trifle easier, but American barrel flour
was fully as deer as on Tuesday, the late low sellers
havirg beeu pretty well reiisved, and a large quantity
has gone into very extended districts. Oats and oatmeal
veers soarce. There was not much demand for ludian
corn, but no change in price.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 12.—The demand
has been but partial this week, and prices are only about
supported. Refined goods steady, both in demand and
value. Rum is only in moderate request, at the previous
currency.—Bri,tol Mercury.
EXETER, SEPT. 12.—C•Jtle—The supply of every

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
z..oralition.s in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and
Male inserted inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who ha!; exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated ugh secret practices acquired is youth, or by the e xcesses
of later y roears, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

DEEP SEA SOUNDINGS —ln the course of the re-
cent session of the United States Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, it was stated in one of the papers that
not less than a thousand vessels were now out engaged in
making observations on the depth of the sea. As showing
that the bottom of the ocean is as uneven or rugged, if not
more so, than the face of the earth, it was also mentioned
that the United States ship Albany measured the Gulf cf
Mexico, and found the lower part to be about a mile deep,
1311! that frond in the sfY, along- the uthern
shore, a depth ut five miles, and afterwards, within a short
distance, else found bottom with a line of a quarter pf a mile.

has been done on rather easier terms. There has been
a good demand for seven-eighths printers. Madapollams
are in moderate request, and stocks are very.light. There
is also a good inquiry for nine-eighths printers. The
home trade are operating extensively in domestic. In
the lower numbers of water-twist, prices are maintained
better than in mule yarns, and in some instances -d to
:Id per lb. edvance he.s been obtained.

THE GREAT EXHII3ITION.
The receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to
1,9001., and marvellous to relate, the sum of 61.
was realised by the sale of season tickets. Accord-
ing to the 'Joliet returns the number of visitors was
17,959.
Although, in compliance with the original design
of its projectors, the Great Exhibition has itself only
an ephemeral existence, it is satisfactory to think that
the most ample and complete records will be preserved
of its character and details. Few events have at-
tracted such an amount of contemporary publicity.
The pen and the pencillave both been incessantly at
work in perpetuating its industrial triumphs, and when
all the,material vestiges of the display me removed
from our eyes, it will still live in a form the most va-
luable and enduring. The reptrts of the juries in each
class will obviously prove an important repertoire of
facts and observations, and the information which has
been collected in newspapers, in periodicals, and in
other charinels of instruction, may also be turned to
excellent account, but it is to the Illustrated Cata-
logue that we must look as capable of being made
the most complete and satisfactory work of reference
hereafter on the great industrial pageant of 1851.
That publication now approaches its completion, fur
three 'parts of it have already appeared, and the fourth
will soon be ready. It is intended that it shall be is-
sued in three volumes, the first two of which will be
dedicated to the products of Great Britain and her co-
lonies, while the last embraces the contributions of
foreign eountries. As far as Our exhibitors are con-
cerned the work is complete, and from the portions
that have already been given to the public we are en-
abled to form a pretty fair estimate of its character
and the style of its execution. Of all literary labours
that of getting up books of reference is, perhaps, the
most tedious and the most thankless. The bare name
of a catalogue kills the interest of the most indefati-
gable bookworm, after the collection of objects to
which it was intended as a guide has ceased to be
accessible. The present, however, is an exceptional
case, and we predict for the Illustrated Catalogue of
the Great Exhibition a standard reputation, and a
large share of public patronage when the grass
has once more grown over the site of the
Crystal Palace, and the great event of this
year has become a thing of the past. From un-
avoidable causes, the contractors, Messrs. Spicer
and Cloves, are only completing the last pages of
their work as the spectacle to which it relates is about
to close; but they need be little alarmed at such a
consideration. It has an enduring interest in the
mass of valuable information of almost every descrip-
tion which it contains. To put the industrial pro-
ducts of the world under a glass case was a won-
derful feat to perform ; but here we have a still
more extraordinary example of condensation, partly
executed and in process of successful comple-
tion. The Great Exhibition is reduced within
the compass of three not very unwieldy
volumes, and to the intellect in all respects, and
in most important respects to the eye its features and
significance are preserved. Every object in the col-
lection will be found noted down ,and described with
the amount of particularity due to it. The prompt-
ings of partiality and the infirmities of judgment
are equally excluded from ithis unbiassed re-
cord. An extensive series of illustrations is made
to embrace every object worthy of elucida-
tion by the artists' power, and in order that the in-
structive character of the work may be fully sus-
tained, annotations written by men of the highest
qualifications are introduced to explain processes,
point out the character and uses of objects, and deve-
lop in brief terms the rationale of the more remark-
or least understood branches of human industry ;
with these features of interest the popularity of the
Illustrated Catalogue when completed seems secure.
It will prove a complete literary type of the original
to which it refers, opening up sources of amusement
or instruction to every class of taste, and proving
equally at home on the drawing-room table, handled
by fashionable dilettanti in the study, pored over by
the scholar or the man of science, at the merchant's
desk as a book of constant reference—in the factory,
the foundery and theworkehop, as a repertoire for de-
signs, and as highly suggestive for future progress.
A more pleasant work to dive into during an idle
hour can hardly be insagiipd,, for wherever_it is taken,
up there is something new striking, and worthiy!
of attention. The necessity for condensation renders
prosing impossible, and the classification of subjects
secures an agreeable variety of subjects without
monotony on the one hand, or a miscellaneous
effect upon the other. Illustrations have been
sparingly resorted to in the first portion, which re-
lates to raw materials, but, as a substitute for this,
we have tables and statistics of great value, and a
large mass of information entirely original in its cha-
racter. In the second part, which is devoted to ma-
chinery numerous diagrams and sketches are intro-
duced explanatory of the different objects exhibited.
The chief interest of the Catalogue, however, in this
respect lies in the third and fourth parts, the latter
of which is still unfinished. The three volumes will
contain, altogether, abcut 1,200 illustrations, and
the greater number of them will be given in the last
volume, which will be dedicated to the foreign half
of the Exhibition. This is the proper course to pur-
sue, for the foreign contributions are those which
it is most important to have sketched. ,We are
informed that original information of much value
and interest bas been commuicated to the com-
pilers of the catalogue, from the different countries
which have taken part in the Exhibition, and that
this will form a prominent feature of the work when
completed. At present, while the public mind is
saturated with the subject, the introductory posi-
tion of the book may not attract the notice to which
it is entitled ; hut when we are able to look back
upon the whole undertaking from a point in the future
and proceed to take its exact measure as an historical
event, we shall not fail to be duly impressed with the
remarkable character of the information there con-
tained. Within the limits of 107 pages are com-
pressed Mr. Cole's account of the way in which the
Exhibition was got up, Mr. Digby Wyatt's descrip-
tion of the Crystal Palace, Dr. Lyon Playfair's clas-
sification of the artificial world, the directory of the
scheme, the list of jurors, and the preliminary notice
of the catalogue by Mr. Robert Ellis, its editor. Mr.
Cole's narrative is especially worthy of attention for
the insight which it affords into the machinery, by
which vast projects like the Exhibition can be suc-
cessfully carried out. Even in this country, where
the principle of association is so thoroughly under-
stood, that machinery must be pronounced to be a
masterpiece of skilful combinations.
Let us recall for a moment its chief incidents. A
small body of men, without any influence of rank or
wealth, and forming the council of what bad previ-
ously been regarded as a useless society, conceived,
as early as 1845, the idea of an Industrial Exhibition,
national in its character. After one fruitless attempt,
they engaged in a series of preparatory measures cal-
culated to render their scheme acceptable to the pub-
lic and secure of its support. Four years of indefati-
gable labour elapsed and they had gathered around
their undertaking an amount of support which they
conceived justified them in again bringing it forward.
They had placed it under the direct patronage of the
Crown, and had secured for it, as an appropriate head,
the name and the personal exertions of the Prince
Consort. A Royal Commission was appointed, in
which men of all parties, irrespective of politics, were
included. In the meantime, the views of the pro-
jectors had expanded and they resolved to give their
scheme a cosmopolitan character. The great seats
of our manufactures were successfully canvassed
for aid, and foreign Governments responded
to the invitations given to them and promised co-
operation. Yet even this powerful combination did
not exempt the undertaking from perils that more
than once threatened to be fatal. The question of
ways and means was for some time a stumbling-block
in the path, and the Commission long hesitated to as-
sume the pecuniary responsibilities which, in some
way or other, it was necessary to provide for in con-
sequence of the determination of Messrs. Mundy's
contract. At a most critical juncture Mr. Peto came
forward, and, with a degree of public spirit and libe-
rality which cannot fail to be appreciated, pledged his
name for a startling amount. Then, when other dif-
ficulties had been overcome, the question of a build-
ing presented almost insuperable obstacles. At the
last moment Mr. Paxton and Messrs. Fox and
Henderson rushed to the rescue of the perplexed
Commission, and, after a succession of dangers,
the scheme of the Exhibition was in safety. Had
Mr. Cole's narrative been more detailed, it might
have been rendered still more attractive, but the
author, no doubt, prudently preserved silence on
points which it would perhaps have been indiscreet
to touch upon, and the leading men in the council
of the Society of Arts having gained their object,
are seen quietly resigning to more exalted names the
honour and the glory of an enterprise which they not
only originated but rendered practicable by their ex-
igby Wyatt's account of the
ertions. Of Ur. D

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
WOOL TRADE.--LONDON, SEPT. 11.—The quantity
of wool imported into London during the week ending
to-day has been only 117 bales, of which 87 were from
Germany, and the rest from Italy, &c. The business
doing privately is not large, but prices remain about the
same. A novel course has been pursued by one or two
brokers, viz., that of having public sales of East India
and foreign, independent of the usual periodical
auctions.
ENGLISH WOOL.--LEEDS, SEPT. 12.—Sales of comb-
ing wools have been limited, and prices may be quoted
stationary. In clothing wools wo have not any altera-
tion to report.
FOREIGN WOOL.--LEEDS, SEPT. 12..—N0 great
amount of business has been done in foreign wools this
week, but prices are steadily maintained, and the pros-
pects of the trade are generally considered satisfactory.
LIVERPOOL WOOL.---SEPT. 11.—The imports the past
week consisted of 132 bales, say 50 Mohair, 20 Smyrna,
39 Maltese, 2 Naples, 21 Mogadore. By private the
market is quiet; buyers waiting for the sales to•mor-
row, when 1,400 bales East India, 600 Perus; and a few
otb wools, will be offered at suction.

TRADE OF MANCHESTER, SEPT. 11.—We have again
experienced great firmness in the market for cloths, and
in yarns the amount of business doing is moderately
large, though there has been no improvement in price;
since Tuesday. In piece goods manufacturers are still
for the most part untier contract to a considerable extent
,And. are enr.:eq..irltt;y in a sr.ffijently independent posi-
ition to refuse ordure, unless at lull prices. In some few
instances where they have been anxious to sell, business

building, and of Dr. Lyon Playfair's classification it
is unnecessary to speak, as the public is already well
informed on these subjects, but to the directory of the
Exhibition and to the list of jurors some amount of
attention is fairly due. In these names are comprised
an extent and variety of practical and scientific talent,
the union of which on any one occasion, and for any
given purpose, is altogether unprecedented. As. the
eye glances ovor the seemingly uninviting
array it is imposible not to be struck with the
curicua combinations of persons which they pre-
sent. Leading tradesmen and manufacturers rub
shoulders with the most eminent philosophers of the
day, and science, descending from her pedestal, min-
gles freely and unostentatiously with the followers of
hard-banded industry. Not only so, but all the na-
tions of the civilised world send the most distin-
guished of their citizens in the peaceful arts to sit in
judgment upon the comparative excellences of rival
products, and to determine, at polyglot conferences,
the stage of industrial progress which mankind have
attained. The directory of the Exhibition and the
list of jurors, taken together, form one of the most re-
markable organisations that the world has ever wit-
nessed—an organisation which, considering its ob-
jects, implies not only an act of homage to industry,
but a guarantee to civilisation. The pages of the
Illustrated Catalogue, which contain these names,
are as instructive and reassuring as any within its

THE .FATAL ACCIDEIVT ON THE
.RAILWAY.
The coroner's inquest on the body of John Taylor,
who was ki] led in a collision between a Derby pas-
senger train: and Codnor-park mineral train, within a
mile of Nottingham, on Wednesday, was resumed at
the Guildhall there, on Friday afternoon, at two
o'clock. John Bower, of Mansfield, under-guard in
the service o f the Midland Railway Company, deposed
that on Woclnesday morning he was with a mineral
train. He left the goods-shed at the Nottingham
station at all out twenty-five minutes to seven o'clock.

ger train. The pointsman said, "One
go out with. a signal, for the Lincoln goods-train has
not gone to Derby." It was the duty of witness to
have gone down to have signalled the passenger train,
but he could not, because without him the engineman
could not have seen the points.
John Royce, of Mansfield, employed sometimes as
porter, sometimes as guard to a mineral train, deposed
that on Wednesday morning he ought to have gone
with a luggage train, at half-past six, for Codnor •
park and Mlnsfield. He had overslept himself, and
as he was going to the station the clock struck seven.
He was told the train was waiting. He ran fast, and
met Bower about ten yards from where the train was
standing. :Bower was walking gently towards Not-
tingham, and was asking witness whether he had
brought the waybill, when witness exclaimed, " John,
there's a train coming," and they ran different roads,
witness going to the goods train and Bower to the
coming passenger train. When witness had got past
about seven 'waggons he heard a crash of the other
train coming into them. Witness had gone to bed
the previous alight at twenty minutes past ten o'clock,
and had only had one pint of ale to drink previously.
Anthony Tomlinson, driver of the goods train, gave
similar evidence to that of Bower, except that he
thought Bower had plenty of time to stop the pas-
senger train.
Robert Rigby deposed that he had told the guard
he expected a train, when the guard replied, "My
mate has not come yet ; he has locked the break and
got the key, and I cannot get a signal." Witness
told him if he went back he could stop a train without
a signal. That was 16 or 17 minutes before the col-
lision, which occurred about eight minutes before 7
o'clock. The guard had plenty of time to have gone
to the signalman at the Nottingham station.
Charles Mitchell, fireman, deposed that during the
first shunt he heard the pointsman tell the guard to
go back and stop the coming train. Two or three
shunts were effected after that, before the guard went
back.
Nathaniel Eckersley, superintendent of ways and
works on the Midland Railway, deposed that the spot
where the collision took place was about 550 yards
from the signal at the W ilford-gate, and about 252
yards from the Mansfield Junction. If the guard
bud walked from the luggage-train to the Wi!ford-
gate it would have taken him about five minutes.
After a quarter of an hour's absence, the jury re-
turned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against John
Bowers, and he was committed, upon the coroner's
warrant, for trial at the next Nottingham Assizes.
With regard to Royce, the jury recommended that
he be immediately dismissed from the service of the
company.

We hear with pleasure that Mr. Wallis, to whose
care the arrangement of textile fabrics was committed
by the Royal Commission, and who also discharged
important duties in connexion with the jury system,
has been appointed by the Board of Trade master of
the School of Design at Birmingham. This•is not
only a fair recognition of valuable services, but a
just recompense to Mr. Wallis, who formerly held a
similar situation at Manchester, which he resigned
because he felt strongly the impropriety.of baring a
course of instruction in anatomy thrust coniptilsorily
upon his pupils, wha were being educated as designers
for calico printing. When Mr. Wallis gave up
his place he had about three hundred pupils, and there
were ninety applicants waiting for admission, while
a balance of 4001. to its credit testified to the
financial prosperity of the school. In less than
two years afterwards, from the absurd system of
training enjoined by the central authorities, the at-
tendance had dwindled down to 70 pupils, and the
school was 400/. in debt. At the present moment,
when the deficiencies of our manufacturers in design
have been so strongly brought out, such facts as we
have stated are well worthy of publie attention.—

THE LATE FATAL COLLIERY ACC!,
DENT NEAR ABERDARE.
The brief particulars of this dreadful calamity, by
which 14 persons were hurried into eternity, have
already appeared in The Sun. The inquest on the
bodies has since been held by the coroner, Mr. Over-
ten. The investigation was a very lengthened one,
but the following evidence will be found to contain
all the material facts adduced.
Mr. John Nixon, examined—l am one of the pro-
prietors of the Wyrfa Colliery. I have three partners
—namely, Mr. James Evans, Mr. Thomas Edwards
Heath, and Mr. David Williams. The pit was com-
menced in 1846. It has been in work, I think, about
four years. It is worked by a water balance, the
water being pumped up by a steam-engine. The di-
mensions of the pit are 13 feet broad by 20 feet long.
It is an oval pit. The depth is about 66 yards to the
bottom of the sump. There are two buckets used.
They are each about 5 feet 9 inches in diameter, and
are round. We have three guide rods to each bucket.
They are made of wire rope, but they are called
" rods" on account of iron having been originally
used. A round chain is used for suspending the
buckets, which chain is an inch and seven-sixteenths
in diameter, and was made by Messrs. Brown,
Lenox, and Co. It was proved before it
left the manufactory at a strain of 37 tons.
I did not see it proved, but I have the manufactu-
rer's certificate to that effect. The chains and buckets
have been used since 1846, but we have had three
sets of bucket rods. The chain has never broken.
The first bucket rods were smaller, and we replaced
them with larger ones. The first rods were 11 inch ;
the second, 1i inch, were put in April, 1848. In
September, 1848, we put two new rods and repaired
the others. That was done in consequence of an acci-
dent. In April, 1849, four new screws and four new
shoulders were put to the buckets. The shoulders
connect the buckets with the screws, and the screws
are fastened to the cross rods at top, which sustain the
bucket. The bucket, which fell 15 yards, was unin-
ured. The quantity of coal worked at the pit is about

35,000 tons a year.
Matthew Mills, of Cwmbacb, examined—l am a
coal agent, and superintend the Wyrfa Colliery. I
was at the colliery on the top of the pit on the Thurs-
day morning when the accident happened. One man
had been let down before I got there in the morning.
Sixteen trems of coal and four trains of rubbish were
brought up after the men went down. A train and
its load of coal weigh a ton and a half. Only one
tram was brought up at a time. Eight horses were
sent down—one at a time. About half-past seven
there were more than twenty persons waiting to go
down. At length the hitcher at the bottom of the pit
intimated that they might descend, and on that
being said several men jumped into the bucket.
The breaksman asked them why they went in be-
fore the catch-bolt had been withdrawn. All
left the bucket then and returned to it as soon as
the bolt had been withdrawn. I told them
not to go down that way—there were too many going
down—as they overcrowded the platform on the
bucket, and some of them then jumped back. I
wanted to see that everything was right. I took hold
of two—Edmund Williams and David Lewis—and
two or three others came out of their own accord. I
said to them, "Do not push in that manner, or else,
some time or other, you will push one another down
to the pit." 'When the bucket went down they were
not too many; the balance was rather light. I was
not angry with them because their weight would be
too much, but because they were rushing on so in-
cautiously and would not go on in an orderly way.
David Lewis, whom I pulled back, would go down
and was killed. The bucket went down very slowly,
as there was barely sufficient weight to balance it. I
watched it for three yards, as I happened to be stand-
ing there. There were eleven persons in it. I then
went from four to five yards back, and I heard a
sound as if something was breaking. I turned my
head back, and saw the chain by which the men were
let down playing backwards and forwards, and the
other chain made a stand for an instant. The
descending chain returned back then, the
cross struck the spring beams, the chain
went up to the top of the sheave, fell upon the
spring beam on the opposite side, which it broke,
and then fell down into the pit. In two or three
minutes I directed a man to call out to know if any
of the descending men were alive, and the answer was
that they were not—every one had been killed ; the
eleven who were descending in one bucket and the
three who were ascending in another; two of the
three, Rees Morgan and John Rogers, had been work-
ing all night. They were all killed upon the spot, dying
instantly. We prepared a rope and a crab, where-
with to communicate with the pit. About eleven that
forenoon all the bodies had been brought up. We
then proceeded to get the men up who were at work
—about 50 or 60, and we got them all up before two
o'clock. We afterwards found the three pieces of the
bucket rods produced, and also the ends of two arms
of the "cross." On Friday I went down to the pit
and saw the end of the fourth bucket-rod. The four
rods had broken in the same place—in the screw,
about nine inches from the top. The chain was all
perfect at the bottom, fastened on one side to the
bucket and on the other to the centre piece of the
cross. The breaksmau was at the break at the time
the bucket coramenced its descent, and I saw him
putting the break down. The bucket did not go
down faster than usual ; it did not go so fast as it
usually went. Nothing bad occurrod to damage the
chains or the rods. I think the accident was occa-
sioned by the breaking of the rods, but that is only a
surmise of mine. There was no weight whatever in
the bucket except of those eleven persons. Iron is
more likely to break in the screw than anywhere else.
The pit was fitted up very well in every respect.
John Evans, pit carpenter for the Do wlais Com-
pany, who had had about thirty years' experience in
collieries, and who had put this pit up, was of opinion
that one of the bucket-rods must have been broken,
perhaps a week ago, and in the cross, and so have oc-
casioned the accident. Ten men could not have
pushed the bucket against the side.
John Snelling, of Merthyr, examined—I am a
awls h. 1 made those rods, and am in the habit of
making rods of this kind. I cannot see anything of
any flaw in those screws to wage any account of ;
but there is a slight appearance of a flaw in one.
which appearance, I think, was caused recently by a
blow. The iron is No. 3, and of the very best quality
made at Mr. Anthony Hill's Plymouth forge. I
cannot account for iron breaking short off in this
wav without a jar; but when iron breaks in a screw
it always breaks across, following the thread of the
screw ; but if there be no screw it rips along, and
does not break short off.
After some further evidence of no great importance
the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned the

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE GREAT
NORTHERN RAIL WAY.

THE OFFICIAL INQUIRY.
Yesterday and throughout the whole of the pre-
ceding day Captain Laffan, R.E., one of the Govern-
ment Inspectors of Railways, was engaged at the
liornsey station of the Great Northern Railway, in-
vestigating the circumstances attending the disastrous
collision between the two Exhibition excursion trains
on the above line on Monday evening, some particu-
lars of which have already appeared in our columns.

The inspector was accompanied by Mr. Leith, who
officiated for the superintendent of the line, and who,
we believe, was the only representative of the company
in attendance. In order that the facts of the occur-
rence might be as correctly laid before the public as
possible, the reporter solicited permission of Captain
Laffan to be present at the inquiry. The gallant officer
courteously replied that he had no objection to the
press being admitted and the public put in possession
of the proceedings, and individually he should offer
no obstacle, but there was a difficulty :in the way.
The investigation took place upon the company's pre-
mises, over which he had no control ; and if the com-
pany, therefore, declined allowing the reporter to be
present, he (the captain) had no authority to interfere.
The reporter accordingly applied to Mr. Leith for the
entree, but he at once declined acceding to the request,
without giving any reason for the exclusion.
In consequence of this proceeding, we of course
cannot state precisely whet took place, but from
various sources we gathered the subjoined details.
The captain, on his arrival, proceeded to examine
and survey that portion of the line which formed the
scene of the collision. The site of the Hornsey sta-
tion, as regards security, is certainly not the most
favourable. It is situated in a curve, and, particu-
larly with down trains, can only be seen some 200
yards distant. The signals also appear not to seem
the most prominent. To the up line there are two
semaphore signals. One is opposite the station, at the
end, or rather at the beginning of the up platform,
4 feet high, while the other is about 200 yards down
the line. By some awkward contrivance it is placed
on the embankment rather than upon the permanent
way, so that in fact it is only nine feet above the
level of the road. It should also be mentioned that
the latter is not worked by a man specially apointed
to watch it, but by an ordinary wire and crank com-
municator from the station. The station is what is
termed a third class one, and the servants employed
there are represented to be the station master and a
porter to attend to the signals, the passengers, lug-
gage, &c., with the occasional aid of a man from
the coal depot near. It is situated on the main
line, where all the express and &ow passenger
trains pass, with innumerable coal, luggage, and
cattle trains, and being so near the metropolis, it
often happens that they are so close upon one
another that they are obliged to be brought up at
this station in order to secure their safe transit.
Enough was elicited to show, it is said, that the ac-
cident was in a great measure attributable to the
somewhat dangerous practice of running coal trains
just in advance, it may be said, of heavy excursion
trains. Perhaps no line running into the metropolis
has bad so large an amount of Exhibition traffic as
the Great Northern ; their trains have been enor-
mous, and not being protected, as most railways are,
by the electric telegraph, it does seem extraordi-
nary that such a heavy block as a full train of coal-
laden trucks should be run upon the line just before
the monster train from the North, and indeed the
esses instead of afterwards. But we are informsd
expr , ~
of a greater danger than even that existed. Although
there was a stated time given for the passing of the
Exhibition trains, they of late have been running so
irregularly, as also the coal and luggage trains, that
throughout the whole southern portion of the lire
those engaged at the stations have been left in perfect
mystery as to when to expect them. They have gone
by at all hours, inconveniencing and delaying
the ordinary traffic. As before noticed, shat
is known as a full train of coal trucks
brought up at the brassy station, andl
