RAILWAY COLLISIOIi.—On Wednesday evening an
accident t f an alarming thsreeter eecurred on the Cal.-
donien line, at Abington, a station several miles north
from Car Hole. Happily, however, the Col3leq lcucea hays
be, n by no means so disastrous as might hare been ap-
prehended from the nature c f the. octet. The ere ping
mail t airs front) Glasgow, it appears. overtakes at Abing-
ton tt e goods train, w Lich de parts at half three,
a hither also, the down mail train from London arrives
about half an hour subs. vent!). Oil Wed, eodaye venting
the goods train, as usual. eoppi d he fore reaching: the
vation, and shifted to the up line of rails in order to
allow tl e other to pass. This was done, and the driver
f the goods train was about to cross over to his own
e, but be f.ire he could t ffect his purpose, the
down mail train arpeared, passed the sweat with an
unusucl re'ocity, and ran into the waggons that
stood in its way. The effect of the collision was to
burst open the doors of the carriage next to the van,
one of the second class, and throw out the passengers,
nine in number. They were t ecessarily stunned-by the
*hock, and all of them more or less bruised; but we are
glad to say that in one instance only are the injuries of
a serious nature. The driver, stoker, and guard were
also precipitated to the ground, and have all been
slightly hurt. The carriage was broken in pieces front
the shock, but none of the others forming the train
were injured, nor was any damp) done to those run
into. The cause cf the accident is imputed to the cot:-
duct of the driver of she down trair, who failed to halt at
the station as was his usual practice. Had he done so,
of course time would have been a lowed ter the trans-
position of the goods train, which, in the circumstances,
could not be effected.—Glasgoe, Daily Mail.
CHILD MURDER.—On Friday evening an inquest
was held at the Fountain Tavern, Redcrove-street, Crip-
plegate, before Wil.iatn Payne, Esq., coroner for the
City, on view of the t.edy of a male lefai t. which was
discolored tied up in a bundle in a dust-bin in Bowling-
alley, White -cross-street. The body was found about
seven o'clock in the morning, and Cr( m the marks of
violence there was little doubt the infant had been mur-
dered in a brutal manner, and a post mortetn examination
was dire oted. Mr. Lloyd, surgeor, of New Basinghall
street, deposed that he had trade a post niorteni
exami-
nation with Mr. Simpson, a surgeon, and found corres-
ponding appearances internally to marks on the wind-
pipe, and he had no doubt the immediate cause of death
was suffocation or strangulation with the fingers. There
war, however, also a fracture of the skull at the back
part of the bead, as tkough it had been dashed against
some hard projection almost at the same instant ae it
was strangled. In his opinion the child bad been de-
liberately murdered. .The police nut having been able
to dlicoser the pi rpctrators of the crime, the jury gave
a verdict tf " ilful murder against some person or
persons unknowr."
AI UNDER AT RUTHIN.—On Monday T.• Thomas
and J. Lewis (tI e former a powerful man, the latt.r a
comparative youth); were drinking at the Red Lion Inn,
Ruffin', when a quarrel arose between them. Bows
ensued, and each of the comba'ants armed himself with
one of the fire-irons. A fierce struggle f Mowed, and
Lewis struck his antagonist a terrible blow on the
head, which immediately laid his skull open. Mediosl
aid was instantly resorted to, but the event proved fest
early the next morning. In the course of the day art
inquest was held, at the close of which, after a lengthened
investigation, a verdict of '•Wilful Murder" was retarned
against Lewis, who was committed for trial. The
deceased, a remarkably strong and healthy man, has left
a wife and large family.
