was for the first time ascertained.

Besides

being scalded and crushed upon the lower portion
of his body, the back of his head was forced in, and
the latter injury was that which caused his death.
He was one of the most careful drivers on the line

—a fact recognised by all the officials of the com-
pany, who are unanimous in their expressions of
regret at his untimely end. He has left a wife
and several children to mourn his loss.

The fireman was an unmarried man, named Geo.
Cornwall, and not Barber, as stated yesterday.
The complete list of those killed is as under :
Mr. Satchell, hatter, of Fenchurch-street, City.
Mr. Stokes, miller, Saffron Walden.
William Rowell, engine-driver, Cambridge.
George Cornwall, fireman, Cambridge.
Mr. Satchell died almost immediately after being
removed to the White Hart, where his body still
remains. Mr. Stokes, who had both legs and both
arms fractured, also expired at the White Hart, but
his body has been removed to a coffeehouse in the
neighbourhood. The bodies of Rowell and Corn-
wall remain at the Tottenham station.
Yesterday a more complete list of the wounded
and the nature of their injuries were ascertained.
The following persons are at the White Hart Inn :
Mr. Manser, wholesale grocer, of Harlow.
Mr. Manser, brother of the above.
Mr. Bean, corn dealer and owner of a large flour
mill at Parndon, _ _

The elder Manser sustained a terrible compound
fracture of the left leg, which was amputated, and
yesterday, although in a very low condition, he was
pronounced by 1)r. May not to be in immediate
danger. Mr. Manser, junior, whose hip is dislo-
cated, was also reported to be proceeding favour-
ably. Mr. Bean occasions much anxiety. He is
upwards of 73 years of age, and has sustained a
simple fracture of the right thigh, and a very bad
fracture of the left thigh. His left knee is also
fearfully crushed. His only chance of recovery lies
in the fact that he is a very strong old man.
Mr. Garrett, a miller of Roydon, lies at the Ship
Inn. He has sustained serious fractures of both legs.
and several contusions of a formidable character
about the thighs. His legs have been set, but,
owing to a great loss of blood, he was last evening
in a very bad state, and Dr. Luke gave instructions
that he should not be disturbed under any circum-
stances.

-

Another most serious case is that of Mr. Empson,
of Saffron Walden. He is lying at the residence of
Mr. Gafford, a personal friend, at Tottenham-green.
Mr. Empson is very much injured; both legs and
one thigh are broken, and he is otherwise dread-
fully hurt all over the body. Dr. May is in attend-
ance on this gentleman, and is indefatigable in his
exertions.
In addition to the above a sad case has been dis-
covered at Seyd's hotel, Finsbury• square. It is that
of a gentleman named William Caswell, who was
brought to town soon after the accident and con-
veyed to the residence of Dr. Godfrey, in Finsbury-
square, and afterwards taken to the hotel above
mentioned. Mr. Caswell has three dislocated ribs
on each side, which press upon the lungs, a freacteu

Monday night, but yesterday evening he was pro_
nounced somewhat better.
Telegraphic messages were received from Cam-
bridge and Saffron Walden last evening,
,College,
intimating
that Professor Ellicott,
of King s and Mr.
Taylor, both of whom were badly injured, were
progressing as favourably as could be expected.
The guard, George Barbrooke, had a wonderful
escape. Ire was in the break-van next the engine,
and while the driver and fireman, who were in
front, and two of the passengers who were behind
him, were killed, and others injured, he escaped
with a few bruises. No person can understand
how his life was saved.
It was not until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
that the wreck of the locomotive could be got off
the line, and shortly afterwards the traffic pro-
ceeded as usual.
After the removal of the engine it was carefully

a leading wheel had bcen broken without the
engine leaving the metals, and it is thought in the
present case the catastrophe would have been
avoided had the tire broken while the train was
some distance from a station. As it was, however,
it is imagined that soon after the engine left the
metals the wheels came in contact with a pair of
points, which threw it over. This view of the
matter is supported by the fact that the engine ran
u 4 the platform just opposite the points, which
were slightly thrown out of position. A singular
circumstance is the fact that, notwithstanding the
immense violence of the accident, not a single
metal was displaced. One or two rails were taken
up to facilitate the removal of the engine, but they
were uninjured by the crash. The same remark
applies to the permanent way, which was very
slightly injured. The rails at the spat are said to
be in most excellent condition.
Great injury was done after the engine ran up

ti • li€Commander-in-o'!Pf
of Portsmouth, accompanied by Captains George T.
Gordon, commanding the steam reserve ; A. Far-
quhar, her Majesty's ship Victory; and Flag-Lieu-
tenant Robinson, yesterday officially inspected the
vessels comprising the first and second divisions of
the steam reserve at this port. At the Conclusion
of the inspection the gallant Admiral expressed his
satisfaction at the condition of the different vessels
and the machinery.
Letter receiveds from the Edgar, 91, screw, at
Portland, state that she was in hourly expectation
of receiving orders to sail for Spithead, where her
crew would be paid and granted leave.
Her Majesty's royal paddle-yacht the Victoria
and Albert will be admitted into the steam basin at
Portsmouth about the 23d inst., for the purpose
of being fitted with an apparatus for superheating
steam.

The Osborne, royal paddle-yacht, at Portsmouth,
is having prepared for her, in the steam factory at
that port, a new set of boilers, which will be fitted
with superheating steam apparatus.
It is expected that as soon as the Victoria, 121,
screw three-decker, in the steam basin at Ports-
mouth, has received the whole of her machinery on
board she will proceed to Keyham-yard, to be
placed in dock and erwered, no dock at Ports•
mouth-yard being large enough for that purpose.
The Hornet, 17, screw, in the steam basin at
Portsmouth, will be again placed in dock when one
becomes vacant at that port, as she requires exten-
sive repairs to portions of her hull, the whole of her
garboard strakes being very defective from the ra-
vages of the worm.
The Alecto, 5, paddle, Commander Raby,
sailed from Spithead yesterday, at 8 a.m., for the
West Coast of Africa.
The Fawn, 17, screw, Commander R. P. Cator,
sailed from Spithead yesterday morning, at day-
light, for the Australian station.
The stern and quarters of the Princess Royal, 91,
screw, in No. 2 dock at Portsmouth, have, as was
expected, proved to be in a very rotten and defec-
tive state. This is especially the case with her
transom. and shelf pieces. The whole of our men-
of-war which have been built and converted lately
in such a hurried manner, must, in the course of a
few years, prove to be as defective in their sterns
and quarters as the Princess Royal has, from the
unseasoned state of the timber which has been used
on those parts of the vessels.
The crew of the screw steamship Brunswick, 90,
Capt. Erasmus Ommanery, in:Plymouth Sound,
were inspected on Monday by Capt. Williams, of
the guardship in ordinary Royal Adelaide. The
Brunswick has discharged her powder, and will go
up Hamoaze to be paid off when the weather mode-
rates.

The crew of the paddle-wheel steam sloop Virago,
Commander Montagu B. Dunn, at Plymouth, were
paid wages on Monday in the presence of Rear-
Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley.
The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Captain
Sotheby, being out of the hands of the dockyard
artisans at Devonport, will shortly move trom
liamonze into Plymouth Sound.
The steam storeship Supply, Mister-Commander
Balliston, has sailed from GreenhitLe for Rio de
Janeiro.

The hind screw steamer Indiana is expected to
arrive at Portsmouth from the Thames on the 233
or 24th inst., for the purpose of embaiking the un-
dermenticned detachment of the Ist battalion 9th

staff surgeon, 319 men, 3 officers' NN ives, 4 officers'
