COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
—A collision occurred on this railway early on
Saturday morning last between two Manchester express
goods trains. It appears that the first express goods left
Grantham about 2.30 a.m., and proceeded as far as Newark,
at which place it stopped for the engine to take water,
although it was unusual fcr it to do so at Newark. The
second express followed at an interval of 10 minutes, and
the driver, whose name is Hull, was warned of the imme-
diate precedence of the first express goods ; he, however,
overtook it, and dashed into the rear of the train, smashing
and overturning the trucks, and completely blocking both
lines. Break-down gangs were immediately telegraphed
for from Peterborough and Grantham, and under the su-
perintendence of Mr. Hornby, ono lino was speedily cleared.
The officials were, however, compelled to work single line
the greater part of the day, thereby delaying the up-trains
very considerably. Beyond a severe shaking both guards
and drivers escaped unhurt,
