RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR LIVERPOOL.—EarIy yesterday morning a goods train coming to Liverpool had just passed the Sandhills station on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway when the engine ran off the line and partially down a steep embankment. Fortunately the coupling chains broke, and the train did not follow. The accident caused a good deal of delay to the traffic during the day. The railway officials could not give any definite account of the cause of the accident, but it is stated that a rail had been taken up, and that the pointsman was not aware of the fact. There were no personal injuries.  THE SUICIDE IN A RAILWAY TUNNEL.—The young man who on Monday blew out his brains in a firstclass carriage near the Crystal Palace station has been identified. Ho was not, it appears, a Frenchman, as was supposed, but was a grocer named Stephen Webber White, aged 21 years. The cause of the suicide is stated to be the failure of a scheme to open a grocer's shop in Highstreet, Whitechapel. If he had succeeded in doing so he was to have married a young woman residing at Nowcross. He left in his pocket a note requesting that his body might be taken to the New-cross station. THE RUMOURED DUEL IN ALGERIA.—The Avenir National of yesterday says :—" Several journals have spoken of a duel said to have taken place between two generals of the army of Algeria, and they have added that one of those generals had died in consequence of his wounds. The mail from Algeria, which will arrive this evening or to-morrow morning in Paris, will no doubt bring us some definitive information upon this subject. We can say at present that nothing has come to confirm the rumour, but that on the contrary, if we are well informed, no meeting of this nature had taken place up to the Bth of June, the day on which the last mail left Algiers."
