DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

A frightful accident occurred on the Manchester and
Leeds line last night.
The Express train, which leaves Leeds at six o'clock,
P.m., started with a' powerful engine and two first-class
carriages only. It proceeded at a very rapid rate, and
about seven miles from Leeds it attained a very- high
speed. A witness of it, who lives close to the line, told
me he never saw a train going so fast; he thought it
fifty miles an hour.
The engine sprang from the rails, ran along the
ground thirty yards, and then down an embankment of
about forty feet. The enginewas very much damaged,
the first carriage shivered, and the next carriage much
broken. All the passengers were horridly cut and shook.
A lady and gentleman, and daughter, were taken
to the infirmary, all horridly mangled. The stoker was
much hurt. The engineer appeared to come off the best.
I trust that this accident, will call forth your able pen,
to eneeavour to put a stop to travelling above twenty-
five miles per hour on narrow gauge lines. Parliament
must interfere, or we shall have murders upon a whole-
sale scale.
