A fearful "accident" was transacted on the Lancashire and Yorkshire

line last night. An express-train got off the rails, and ran up an embank- ment. The engine-driver and a child were killed; eight severely wounded— one it is feared, fatally.

Another. Early yesterday morning, a ballast-train was standing on the rails just beyond the Merstham station on the South-eastern Railway : a goods-train came up and ran into the ballast-train. Nine labourers were more or less hurt.
