Tlf,E RAILWAY CATASTROPHE NEAR

DUDLEY.

Some oar the sufferers are not yet out of danger. Turner
and Clark, respecting whom the most serious appre-
hensions were entertained, are progressing more favourably
than was anticipated. All the sufferers located in the
vicinity of the acc,'dent continue to receive every possible
a•tcn'lJu ;.e.,•tledical men employed by the company,
and it is hoped tha t all may recover. Immediately after
the adjournment of the inquest on Wednesday the friends
of the deceased took possession of the bodies, under the
authority of the coroner, who issued warrants for the
interment of the dead, and in the course of the evening they
were removed to their late helves. A number of thieves
speedily congregated after the collision, and instead of
affording assistance to the wounded, attempted to make
profit by plundering those who were insensible. But the
exertions of the police in repressing these attempts were
most praiseworthy, and much property that would other-
wise have been lost was preserved by their means. A
valuable watch found on the line is still in the possession
of the police unclaimed.
The following is a return of the injured obtained on the
