The RAILWAY ACCIDENr.-The English pa
pers are filed with details of the terrible ac-
cident on the London and Brighton Railway.
1t seems that two trains, Brighton excursion
and the London Parliamentary, came into col
lision in the Clayton tunnel, near Brighton
One was backing out, the other entering, the
signalmen at either end having confounded
their signals. Within q very short distance
Of the mouth of the tunnel fearful crash en-
sued, the second train backing having come
into violent collision with the other train
which was rushing forward. The shrieks and
cries are described as being most fearful and
heartrending, the darkness tending to height
en- the terror Of those who were uninjured
and leaving them powerless to aid the wound
ed. The engine Of the Parliamentary train
had smashed the last carriage in the excursion
train, which had mixed compartments for lug
gage at one end, passenger seats in the mid
die, and q guards break at the other end
The locomotive had pitched over the last car
riage to the back Of the last carriage but one,
and shiyered 1t into fragments. This carriage
comprised four compartments, each contain
ing ten persons The passengers were scat
tered and mutilated in all directions, several
were scalded with boiling water from the en-.
the extreme. All available assistance was az
speedily as possible procured from Brighton,
and upon the fragments of the carriages being
ienosoo, IMenty-two persons were found to
be dead. The engine had literally sunk upon
the second carriage, and the bodies of several
Of the sufferers were underneath. Thew had
either been smashed or scslded to death One
woman had both her legs cut off Just above
the knees, and she was quite black in the face.
Another woman had her scalp taken of, and
both her arms broken. One man had his face
crushed in such manner as to force his eve.
balls from his head. As soon as possible the

counts estimate the killed at twenty-five and
the wounded at one hundred-some of the
latter are not expected 10 recover.
