which was under orders to proceed to the coast of Syria
on the sth it.st., left Malta on the 2d to assist the Hawk in

FEARFUL ACCIDENT TO A 11AILWAY GUARD.—On
Saturday night Andrew Martin, one of the guards of a
train from Berwick to Newcastle, met with a fearful acci-
dent, which is very likely to prove fatal. Ho was seen to
be all right a, Cramlington Station, where he appeared on
the platform with the lamp in his hand, and attended to
the duties required on his part at the various stages in
their journey. Nothing more was seen of him until he
was found lying on the top of one of the third-class car-
riages. Ho was frightfully injured about the head and face,
and was in an unconscious state. It appeared that he bad
got on the top of the carriage, perhaps to see if the way
was clear, and that ho had come into collision with one of
the railway bridges.
