STABBING BY SPANIARDS AT DEPTFOND.—Yesterdar morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the inhabitants of High-street, Deptford, were greatly alarmed by an attempt to murder two men, named John Sunivan, aged 32 years, Princes-street, Deptford, and Thomas Breslau', aged 24 years, Czar-street, Deptford. It appears from Sullivan's statement that three or four Spaniards were ill-using a respectable female near the gate of the Deptford Dockyard, when she screamed violently, and the two unfortunate men, Sullivan and Breslam, wept to her assistance, when a desperate attack was made upon them by the Spaniards, and Breslam suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, exclaiming, "Orly I am stabbed." Sullivan was also stabbed immediatell afterwards. The Spaniards, on the cries of murder being raised, managed to escape. John Sullivan received a very deep wound on the lower part of the stomach, near the groin, beside other injuries. Thomas Breslam is severely stabbed under the region of the heart, and the nature of his wound precludes the hope of his recovery. COLLISION ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSOIOI RAlLWAY.—Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, an accident of an extraordinary and most alarming character hel3; pened at Knottingley junction, on the Lancashire an Yorkshire Railway. The Parliamentary train from Leeds, consisting of an engine and tender, three pash.eiv ger carriages, and break van, which is due at Knottitl/4V ley at 8.20 a.m., arrived there at about the proper time, and the passenger carriages having been attached to others from York, the united train was proceeding .011 its way to Doncaster, when, on crossing the junction with the up-train to Goole, about 200 or 300 yards from the station, a goods train from the town, which arrived, at the point of intersection at the same moment, dashed through the passenger train, cutting it in two about the middle, and knocking off the body of a third-class ear riage, containing about twenty passengers. The vehicle rolled over on its side, admidst a terrible screaming from the persons in it, while the wheels and under perrt of the vehicle remained standing on the line. The new dent happened so near the station that effective assistanee was promptly rendered, and the passengers, who were tumbling over one another in a state of great consternn" tion, were speedily extricated without any more seriouse wounds than superficial bruises, with the exception. ei one man, who complained of internal injuries from baril been severely crushed under the great bulk of the other passengers. The goods engine sustained scarcely e_„9; damage, owing, no doubt, to the body of the carr)l, with which it came in contact separating so easily i_rfcie its supporters. The driver and stoker of the guu e engine received no injury, although they rernainecl!)e the engine ; indeed, they had no alternative in tt, matter, for the dense fog prevailing at the time prevr_, ed them from seeing the passenger train until they run into it, and the signals were totally invisible. le, broken passenger train was replaced as soon &gives i dye and the travellers were forwarded to their respee_ destinations with less delay than could have been ""_. punted under the circumstances. porres .
