ACCDnIcT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—
AnAccident occurred on the above line on Thursday night,
neatthe Paddock station, between Maidstone and Tunbridge.
It appears that about eight o'clock in the evening the usual
signal was given on the train approaching within a short dis-
tance of the above station. The signal, however, uas an-
swered by the exhibition of the wrong lights, and the con-
sequence was, that the train came in violent collision with .
one of the engines which was lying upon the same rail. The
crash was heard by the passengers, and, as may be imagined,
created the utmost alarm among them. It fortunately, how-
ever,
turned out that the only damage sustained was the
pattial destruction of the engine.
ERUPTION OF MOUNT HECLA.—The Hamburgh
Borsen Halle, of the 7th inst.., ccntains the following cm-
munication from Copenhagen, under date of Oct. 4 :—" The
English journals have already stated that the largest of the
Orkney isles was, during a violent storm from the north-
west on the night of the 2d ult., covered with fine ashes, re-
sembling ground pumice-stone ; and that it was thought
they had been driven by the wind from Mount Hecla, in
Iceland, as similar appearances had Leen observed during
several years. We now learn that on the same or the follow-
ing night the crew of a vessel, bound to this port from Rei-
kiavik, observed, whilst about eighteen English miles from
land, volcanic flames en the southern coast of Iceland. On
September 3, two vessels near the Fawe Isles were also
covered with ashes. According to letters which have been
received here an earthquake occurred on the previous day
in the west, north, and east portions of Iceland. More re-
cent intelligence has arrived from the southern part, and
itlippears that the eruption was a more violent cne than
any that had taken place there during the last sixty years.
The latest accounts are of Sept. 13. They confirm the intel-
ligence (f a volcanic eruption in the southern part of the
island on Sept. 2, the first since the memorable one which
occurred nineteen years ago. The extent of the fall of :and
and ashes is not yet known, but it is ascertained tint
se-
riously
t tle
populous districts adjacent to the volcano have not b
injured, except that the grass plots near the mountains
were destroyed."
Mrs. Fitzwilliam has just concluded a highly suc-
cessful engagement at the new theatre at Glasgow. It was
