! The CREOLE QUESTION On the SUBJ
iect OF the difficulties existing between
Great Britain and America, the London
Morning Herald Of The 10Th ult., says:
each succeeding arrival from New

ability of successful termination Of Lord

Such probability does not, however, less
en- public nteres: in the disputes to CON-
nose which that mission is directed. Of
those disputes, the Creole case seems to
involve the greatest difficulties; not in

TERRIBLE RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.

4 denlorable catastrophe took place on
sunday evening week. ON the Versailles
and Mondon RAILWAY. by which one hun.
ldred and twenty persons we're killed, or
lh,ye since died of their wounds. and many
manned and wounded.
In honor Of the Kings f;,,e. the water
works were nl.yinp on Sunday. which at.
tracted immense crowds from Paris.--
The train TO which the dreadful accident
occurred, left Versailles for Paris ht half
past five o'clock IN the afternoon and was
crowded with passengers. Ihere were,
says one account, seventeen or eighteen
wagons, with two engines before and ono
behind.
The velocity was excessive. When
between Bellevue and Mendon, the axle
Tree of the first machine broke. and stop
ping, the second ran over il, killing the
stoker, and breaking the frs. machine in
pieces, split is fire on the ground. In
stantly six or seven wagons were broken
into pieces, and the rest, running over tho
live fire of the broken engines, burst into
flames. It's the custom on the Lett BANK
Railroad for the doors OF the wagons to
be closed, without any possibility oil open
ing them except by keys IN the hands oil
the conductors. NO conductors were forth
coming, and thus the inmates OF three wa
CONS were burned.
From tins account It IS clear that out
for the custom OF locking the passengers
10 the carriages, SO awful loss OF NE
would not have taken place. H eH
