communications with Kossuth - and Mazzini,
had formed a conspiracy to effect a rising in the
country, which they hoped might lead to compli-

A TRAIN ON FIRE.—,On Saturday last about two
o'clock, the population of Splottland, neap raidly increasing
suburb of Cardiff, were thrown into a grstate of excite-
merit, by seeing a luggage train 'on the South Wales Ball"
way approaching from Newport, in flames, which ascended
a considerable height. The train was brought to a stand
still between Splott and Adamstown ; all was done by the
people who were attracted to it that could be done, and the
fire was confined to one van only. From information we
have received,. it appears that this van was the last in the
train, and in it were confined some eight or ten
rams of a very valuable breed, worth ten or fifteen
pounds each. How the van caught fire has not` been
satisfactorily ascertained, but it is strongly mispeeteut
that the man in charge had been smoking, and tha
from ignition originated either through a spark
the pipe or a Lucifer match dropped on the floor of the van;
The poor animals were roasted alive! Their fat ran out of
the van blazing on the sleepers of the line, and it was only
through the activity of those who rendered assistance that
the sleepers were prevented from taking fire. As soon at
the burning carriage could be detached from the train
was pushed slowly along by means of iron bars whiLsn.tll,
was being extinguished, in order that the falling fire lava;
he put out as it fell on the sleepers, which was done by sou
being thrown upon it. The whole of the woodwork of the
van was consumed, and the iron work was so heated that it
could not be touched. The fat of the animals as it IV
upon the line quickly congealed in large cakes, and their
remains when pulled out of the burning van presentde
horrible sight,—Cardif Guardian.
