ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—
An accident occurred on the above line on Thursday night,
near the 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, was 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 ont that the only damage sustained was the
partial destruction of the engine.
ERUPTION OF MOUNT HECLA.—The Hamburgh
Borsen Halle, of the 7th inst.., contains the following com-
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 been 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 on 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
it appears that the eruption was a more violent one than
any that had taken place there during the last sixty years.
The latest accounts are of Sept. 15. They confirm the intel-
ligence of 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 sand
and ashes is not yet known, but it is ascertained that the
populous district., adjacent to the volcano have not been se-
riously injured, except that the grass plotsnear the mountains
were destroyed."

Mrs. Fitzwilliam has just concluded a highly suc-
cessful engagement at the new theatre at Glasgow. It was
her first visit there; the local press pronounce her to be one
of the greatest favourites that ever appeared in that city.
Her benefit on Friday evening was under the patronage of
the Lord Provost. She re-appears this evening at the
Adelphi Theatre in "The Green Bushes."

ACCIDENT BY FIRE-ARMS —On Friday morning,
between ten and eleven o'clock, a serious accident occurred to
James Strasburg, aged sixteen years, the son of J. F. Stras-
burg, Esq., of Finchley-roid, St. John's-wood. He had

procured from his father's bedroom a large horse-pistol, and
proceeded with it, accompanied by three of his companions,
to amuse themselves by firing small shot at a target, which

one of his companions disc'•arged the pistol, when nearly the
whole of the contents entered his right side. He was carried
home by his companions, and two surgeons were immedi-
ately sent for. A great portion of the shots were extracted,
but so extensive are the injuries sustained,
