COLLISION ON TIIE LANCASHIRE AND YORK-
sHinn RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning, as the Yorkshire
mail on the above line, consisting of engine tender, and 11
carriages, was approaching Rochdale, and when near the
BellfieldTrint Works,it ran into n coal train which was on the
main line, and which was being shunted at the time on to a
siding belonging to the Thissleford Colliery. Owing to the fog
the driver of the mail train had been unable to dewy the
signal. which was properly up at the time. As soon as ho
saw the signal, on his approaching the coal train, he re-
versed his engine, and had the breaks put on, with a view
to leisen the force of the collision, which he now saw was
inevitable, as much as possible. The engines met with a
tremendous force, one going over the side of the line, and
the other being raised into a nes.rly perpendicular position.
Several of the passengers were injured, but all were able to
proceed on their journey. The guard of the passenger
train was seriously injured about the temples. The follow-
ing is a list of the persons injured :—James Fox, timber
merchant, Ristrick, Huddersfield, age 47 ; Thomas Hone,
cattle dealer; Richard B. Tobin, Hull, emigrant; Captain
Moon, Knottingley; James Thornhill, Liverpool ; M. Ms-
lony, Dublin ; Mr. Eland, farmer, Laxton, Holtden ;
James Cooper, midshipman.—Manchester Examiner..

[ArivERTNEMENT.—Rarey's Horse and Cattle, Improv-
ing Food is equally adapted to improve the stamina of ill-
conditioned Horses, Cows, Bullocks, Calves, Sheep, and
Pigs. It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more
and better nourishment than its cost of Id. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great improvc-
mint in the digestive functions, the stamina and general
condition of horses enabling them to perform far more
labour without getting distressed. It imparts new vigour
to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out horses, and
it puts rapidly the finest flea on cattle generally, and im-
proves the milk in oows, as it enables them to extract the
entire nourishment out of everything they feed on. Rarey

he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-

added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the

Lord CLYDE is gradually drawing his net closely
round the rebels, and few will have strength or
cunning sufficient to slip through its meshes and
escape the severe penalties in store for the most
grievous offenders. The hot and sickly season has
passed away. The proper time for action, so long
and so anxiously looked for, has arrived. The
British leaders are gradually concentrating their
forces from opposite directions, keeping the enema;
in the centre, so that they are completely sur-
rounded, headed, in fact, in every direction whither
they might direct their flight. The avenging
Nemesis, which so long has tracked their
footsteps, must speedily overtake and inflict
exemplary punishment for their faithless treachery
and cold-blooded and heartless cruelty. They have
had but little rest, even during the period when
they fondly imagined they would have been safe
from British pursait and British indignation. But

the deliberate murder, mutilation, and even worse
than murder, of helpless females and innocent
children had excited their countrymen to the
highest degree. There was nothing which they
would not brave—no peril they would not encoun-
ter—to punish the miscreants who had acted with
such diabolical atrocity. Every man was in fact
animated with a lion's strength and a lion's
courage, and it is sufficient to say that the leaders
were worthy of their followers.
We have repeatedly stated that the weather
was by far more formidable than the weapons
of the enemy. This assertion has received
a melancholy verification in the casualties that
occurred to the truly gallant Highlanders when,
under General MICHEL, pursuing TANTIA TOPEE,
it is said, and we fear with too much truth, that
no less than 200 died, or were placed hors de combat,
from sunstroke, while hastening to the scene of
action. The baggage, too, fell into the rear, and a
considerable portion thereof was captured by the
insurgents. Bui, despite all these untoward events,
although they beheld their wearied brethren sink-
ing at almost every hundred yards, the indefatigable
and indomitable heroes pressed onward, and
achieved a victory of no ordinary magnitude and
no ordinary importance.
It may be, and has been, said that General
MICHEL was wrong to press forward with such
extraordinary haste. But it was of immense con-
sequence to deprive the rebel chief of the prestige
which his temporary success at Esanghur and
Chundaree had conferred on him. Had the
contest been delayed, the insurgents would
have received a ♦ast accession of strength, which
might have caused greater difficulty and danger to
our troops. Ther© were, in fact, two actions, in
each of which the English victory was of the most
complete and decisive character; all that was want-
ing was cavalry, to cut off the fugitives and cap-
ture their treasures. This want will be partially
supplied, inasmuch as Lieutenant KERR, with 600
Mahratta Horse, and H.M.'s 17th Lancers, have
already passed into Central India, although by dif-
ferent routes. They will be enabled closely to
follow up the first triumphs, and perhaps the
Generals TANTIA TOPEE, the Narrab of BAN DA, and
the RAO SAHIB may no longer be enabled to escape
the earnest pursuit that will be enegetically perse-
vered in whenever a favourable opportunity may

arise.
General ROBERTS, who has already performed
such brilliant exploits, is pushing onwards to join
General MICHEL ; while General WHITLOCK is
stopping a gap in another direction, and even with
a diminished and divided force will prevent any
movement of the enemy in that quarter. We may
consider that matters in Central India .are in a
very satisfactory condition, and that, as we have
