RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--A fourth accident within a
fortnight, and the third within a mile of the same spot-,
occurred on Friday evening, on the Manchester and Liver—
pool Railway. Shortly before half-past five o'clock, a
goods train from Manchester to Liverpool stopped at the
Barton Moss Station, two miles and three quarters beyond
Patricroft, to shunt some wagons. As a warning to the
driver of the 4 45 first and second-class stopping train for
Chester, which was known to be about due, fog sigmas
were put down ; but they were either not laid far enough
from the station, or the slippery state of the rails deprived
the dfiver of the ordinary control over his train; for while
the goods train was lying across both lines, the passenger
train came up at a considerable speed, and dashed into it: shock was very severe ; but with the exception of the
guard and a few passengers who were bruised as well as
violently shaken, no person was injured. The engine of
the passenger train was so much shattered as to be quite
disabled ; the tender was destroyed, and the break-can.-
was smashed up. The last two wagons in the goods
train were also demolished ; and their contents, together
with the other wreck, blocked up both lines of rails..
Assistance was soon obtained from Patricroft ; and the
men, aided by the passengers by the Cheshire Junction.
train, set to work to clear away the obstruction. Shortly
after the accident, the 4 30 express train from Liverpool_
came up ; but it was stopped, and many of the passengers
from it joined the ranks of the workers. The chief
difficulty was to get rid of the remains of the break-van ;
and as they were broken up and removed, the wood was
thrown upon a fire that had been kindled on the moss, as-
well to afford lightto theworkersand warmth to the female
passengers, as to serve as a warning to the other trains
that were expected. The line to Manchester was cleared
so as to allow the expresss from Liverpool to reach the-
Victoria Station at five minutes after seven, instead of 20
minutes before six o'clock ; and at the time it left Barton
Moss, little remained to be done in order to clear the road
for the Chester train, for which another engine had arrived
from Manchester. A train from Preston Junction, bring-
ing passengers and mails from the north, reached Man-
chester soon after the express, having been detained about
an hour; the 5 15 first-class train from Manchester for
Liverpool, was also detained about the same time; but
beyond this there was no interruption to the passenger
traffic.—Manchester Guardian.

Lola MoNTEs,—Our daily contemporary, under the
head of " Latest and Exclusive," says :—" From Charles—
ton, we learn that the steam-ship Falcon had arrived there
from Havannah short of coal, having experienced very bal.
weather. She furnishes no political news of interest. The
favourite Spanish actress of Tacon theatre had been mur—
dered by her husband, who afterwards destroyed himself:
The event had caused a great excitement, and the alleged
cause was infidelity. Our correspondent manifestly alludes.

joined in wedlock to the editor of an Havannah paper_
We, however, do not venture to supply the name or to
verify the fact." ' ,

Tine WIGAN STRIKE.—The adjourned meeting of the
Millowners' Association, held at the Victoria Hotel,
Wallgate, on Friday, was looked forward to with great
anxiety by the inhabitants generally ; and the result has
caused much disappointment. It appears that a sufficient
number of the hands (notwithstanding the starvation
amongst them) are not yet willing to return to work at
the prices offered them. The masters, therefore, decided not
to open their mills yesterday (Monday) morning, as was
expected. They, however, agreed to receive at the mills,
during the whole of this week, the names of any other
operatives who may desire to resume their employment..
Hitherto the masters have acted on the principle that 'us
one of them should re-open his mill untill they all did;
but they agreed that, if any of them should have enough

irrespective of the others; and that this experiment
should be tried for a week. The amount distri—
buted to the factory turn-outs last week averaged 2d.
per head, a larger sum than for several weeks-
past. The strike has continued for eleven weeks,
and it need hardly be said that the suffering and sickness
in the town is exceedingly great. Beggars abound ors

still a resolute spirit is manifested by the operatives. It-
is even thought that they will not give in to their em—

ployers for weeks to come, because a comparatively large.
proportion of their body will leave the town, seeing no—
thing but extreme poverty before them, and either obtain
work elsewhere, or wander through the country seeking
charitable aid. Many of them are the daughters mut

wives of colliers who are now at work, and they will;
therefore, be able to hold out for some time to come. It
is believed by some parties qualified to form an opinion,
that the masters will be in no better position to start
their mills a week hence than now. Meantime the trade
of the town is stagnant, and the military cont

as the termination to the long-pending strike of colliers.
