RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
An accident OF terrible character but fortu-
nately unattended with fatal results took place
Yesterday evening at the London terminus Kings
Cross, to return excursion train on the Great
Northern Railway from Liverpool, Manchester
Sheffield and Speddersield, and other large towns
In the North of England. The train, which con-
sisted OF thirtyfve carriages, was due at G. 40 p
NJ. The engine, instead of sackening its speed AS
Is usual on entering the station dashed full speed
through the station, actually leaped on the plat
form at the end of it-a height of between five and
SIX teet-carrving with it tender, the break ram
and one or two carriages, and proceeding an its
fearful and PERCEPTIONS course, down the in
ITrrna a1r H.,
across the old Saint Pancras road whore it burst
through the enclosure Of the Metropolitan Rail-
way works. and, had it not been for the immense
quantity of earth being there stuff cxcavated from
the new road tunnel, it would have probably burst
itself in the shaft of that undertaking. The engine
tender and break were completely destroyed, and
the other carriages more or less injured. MANY of
the passengers sustained serious wounds and contu-
sinns. 1t was found that the guard had firmly an
piled the first break but the second break showed
it had only been partially applied. 1t was then dis
covered that the guard, Wanener, of Manchester,
was IN state OF lntOXicatiOn and be was taken into
custody. The sufferers, OF whom were conveyed
to their residences, are about fourteen in number
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Times, in leader, describes the terrible
tortures inflicted by the police of the King of
Naples Darkness and torture chiefly bv fiOgging
are used to extract avowals of complicitv in poit
cal plots. Recently old man, and bis daughter
lar gone in pregnancy, perished under the lash.
The Posts Paris correspondent telegraphs that
a despatch received by the French government con-
firms but with reserve, the news of the entry of
Garibadi into Palermo. The fact, however, can
not be yet considered official.
The Times again expresses its belief that it will
be quite out of the question for the government
carry through the reform bill under the conditions
imposed upon them by the State business during
the present session.

HEENAN AND SAVERS AT THE DERBY RACF.-An
English sporting paper, in its account of the Der
by race, says Not the least attractive feature of
the stand and race-course were the two champions,
Sayers and Heenan they were both dressed after
the most approved mode of Derby costume. Heen-
could not suppress his rising national svmpathies
and consequently backed Umpire to win him Fl, 100
lie was, however, heartily disgusted with the upshot
nor did he fail to give full expression TO ms ieei-
ings of disappointment. We need not say that
they have been the "obse' we'd of all Observers"
and il is A question whether they or the cOmpeti-
tors for the blue riband of the Turf obtained the
creator share of attention. We hear that, feelipC
their own inexperence in business, they have pIac
ed their affairs in the hands of Messrs. Howes
Cushing, of the American Circus, under whose
charge they intend making the grand tour of the
United Kingdom with their new belts; and we have
not the slightest doubt that, if their cards are well
played, they will reap rich harvest. The cere-
mony of presenting the new belts is to take nlace
on Wednesday evening next, at Cremorne Gar
dens, London, which have been engaged for the
occasion. There will on this evening be no sparr.
ing, and, indeed the only manner in which
the pugistic world will be alluded to in tba
entertainment will be on the occasion of the nre
sentation of the belts and the stakes The remain
der of the exhibition will be of a popular and en-
tertainng kind. The belts are in the course of
manufacture, by Mr.. c. F. Hancock of Brnton
street, and he has, in the most spirited way under
taken to complete them in six days from the time
he received the order-an undertaking which, con-
slderatng the elaborate nature of the workman
snip, reflects the highest credit upon his energy
and perseverance,. Heenan has headed the list OF
subscription for Sayers, while Sayers has done tne
like office for Heenan. The list OF contrloutpns 10
