About three o ' clock in the morning one of the luggage trains caught fire , fii'd on stopping at the curve to extinguish the ilinies , the other luggage train came up , and before he steam could be shut off ran into the stationary engine with great force . Some of the trucks were thrown over the embankment , others were smashed n a thousand pieces , and their contents scattered over the line , and others wer « lifted by the shock
on to the top of those preceding them . Men were despatched with signals down the line to stop the two passenger trains which are due in Lendon shortly I efore five , and further accident was thus averted . i ews of the disaster was also ssut up to town , and about 100 of tbe company ' s porters were sent down to clear the line .

Execution at Xobwicji . —The execution of Henry CIroom took place on Saturday at noon , on tbe public scaffold , erected in front of tbe County Gaol at Norwich , before an immense concourse of persons . Groom it will be remembered , was convicted at the recent assizes for the wilful murder of John AytQUj who W £ S snot while proeteding t >? pay some labourers in the employ of the Earl of Leicester . The culprit since his condemnation has been very peniteur , and paid great attention to the spiritual instruction of the chaplain of the gaol , who has repeatedly visited him . His awful situation liad evidently affected him deeply , both physically and mentally , and his outward appearance underwent a great change for the worse during the brief period which has elapsed since his conviction . For some < : ays past he had given up all hope of mercy , and it is reported that he made a confession to tho chaplain . The L'Ody after hanging the usual time was cut down .
Fatal Colliest . Explosion at Wajzkbi-eud . — An explosion of fire damp took place on the 13 th insh , at a colliery belonging to Messrs .

He was upwards cf fifty years of age , and has left a wife and one child . The other sufferer , named Field , is much burnt about the head and shoulders , in addition to a spinal injury , which is considered to render his recovery doubtful . He has no family . An inquest was held on the remains of Kirk on the 15 th inst ., before Mr .

Destructive Collier * Explosion heab Newcastle . —On Monday night one of those disastrous explosions which are of such frequent occurrence in the coal-mining districts took place at "Washington , colliery , which is about two miles from the Washington station on the York , Newcastle , and Berwick Railway , and we regret to say that it has resulted in the premature death , of from thirty to forty persons . Between four and five o ' clock in the afternoon of Monday about sixty men went down into the pit on the night shifi , and everything seemed to go on regularly until about half-past eleven o ' clock , when the inhabitants of the neighbourhood were aroused by a loud explosion , upon the report of which large masses of people rushed to the mouth of the pit to render all tne assistance
that lay in their power . The head-overman was aroused , and , in company with a few of tho miners , fie descended the pit , and found several dead bodies , very much burnt and mutilated , noar the cro ?; s cut way . They discovered that the explosion lo'ik place in the " whole" workings , where about forty men were employed , and that tho other twenty men , who had been working in the " brokings , " were uninjured . No language can describe the intense gnet" and horror of those , who , on the first report being given , rushed to the spot , and remained to witness the blackened and disfigured corpses of their hUBbands , children and fathers . Tinee hours passed away in the most painful suspense before any of the bodies were brought to brink . Almost immediately after the explosion
took place two furnace men , desirous of being instrumental in saving the lives < . f their comrades went down to render assistance , init the after-damp was so strong that they were brought up again almost dead ; one of these br . ivr- men has since died , and little hopes aro enteivaincd of the retov-ry of the other . At three o ' clock , when only ihrce of the bodies had been rectivw ed , it was found uizeisary on account of the after-damp to put out th : ' furnace before anything further could be done . lV . s was effected by a water-fall down tho other su . xft , which put out the furnace by nine o ' clock . During the Bight the crowd hw . vly increased , and a number of viewers from nei ghbouring collieries i'iso arrived , and rendered very valuable assistance . Throughout the day from nine o ' clock in
themornw :, ' , corpses were at intervals extricated , and up to ! o clock from twenty-eight to thirty had been brought to bank , and identified by their relatives . At seven o clock in the evening there yet remained , it was supposed , about ten bodie 3 in the pit . An impression generally prevails that tho pit 18 badly ventilated , and many were heard to say that such an accident had been expected for several weeks .

The first inquiry was into the death of John Ogden , aged forty , farm servant to Mr . Geo . Castry , of Clayton , in Droylsden , who went into the shippon on Wednesday , about two o ' clock in the afternoon , to take shelter from the heavy Storm . Th 8 daughter of Ml . Castry , alarmed at a heavy peal of thunder , rushed out of the hou se soon afterwards into the shippon for safety . and found it filled with smoke , with a strong smell of sul phur . On looking round she found Ogden and three cows on the shippon floor , all . ,
of whom had been killed by the lightning . Ogden ' s cap had been dashed from bis head , and torn into shreds by the electric shock , but the only mark of violence left on his person was the scorching of his hair at the crown of bis head . —The second inquest W 85 On the body Of a young man named William Harrison , of W « odb . o \ iaes near the same place , a handloom weaver . He was returning down stairs iu the cottage of his parents , about a quarter to four o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon , and W 83 gtrilCk by light ' Ring , aud lulled almost Instantaneously , His father and mother were in the cottage , and heard an exclamation from him of " Oh , mother ; '' and on running to his assistance found hint quite dead . His hair was scorched near the crown of his bend , and a few blisters were found on his body , from the scorching heat
of the electric fluid . The juries in both cases found verdicts of '' Accidental death . " Great Pihe at Richmond . —On Saturday morning last a fire of a most alarming and destructive character , broke out in the town of Richmond , Surrey , and , in a comparatively short period , laid in ruins a vast amount of valuable property , including the chapel belonging to the Independent body . The flames commenced at a few ininutea before two o ' clock , in the afternoon , in the premises belonging to Mr . Andrews , bread and biscuit baker , Upper Hill-street , a short distance beyond the Castle lun . By desperate exertions the residents were enabled to rush through the smoke , and they succeeded iu gaining the street , none of them having sustained any personal injury . Kad Mr . Andrews , however , gone below to
endeavour to subdue the fire before he had awakened the inmates , the whole of them unquestionably would have pQi'ished , lot- they Lad barely gained the street when the flames shot forth from every window in the premises , and quickly fired the workshops of Mv . Webster , a cabinet maker , next door . Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock in trade iu tlie latter premises , in the space of a few minutes not merely were the workshops in flames , butthefront premises were also blazing with the greatest impetuosity . At that period Mr . Webster , who was confined to his bed with illness , was unable to get out in order to escape the ravages of the fiamea . Several persona rushed through the smoke and heat , and happily succeeded in carrying him into the street . The engines promptly attended , bat several workshops were ignited , and from thence the destructive element rmhed through the side windowsof ihelndependentChapel ,
and in a very few minutes the organ and most of the seats in the side aisle were blazing with the greatest impetuosity . Immediately adjoining this sacred ediiice stood another and larger building , belongias i to the Upraan Catholics , and had it not been for the various expedients resorted to , this building would alsohave fallen a prey to the fire . About three o ' clock a scene of much grandeur presented itself—flames were rising in immense sheets from the premises belonging respectively to Mr . Andrews , the baker , Mr . Webster , the cabinet maUer , Mr . Luukett , a carver and gildcv , aa well as from every window in the chapel and vestry rooms . The flames were not extinguished until the whole of the premises were burned down , and serious damage dona to many others adloining . Respecting tho cause of the misfortune nothing that can be depended upon could be learned , but it is supposed to have originated in the bakehouse , from the heat of the oven .

The Attempt at Muhder ano Suicide at Ipswich . —The adjourned inquest was held on Friday , the 15 th . inst ., when the unfortunate girl was supported into the room by a sergeant of police . She looked pale , and was so weak from loss of blood that she could hardly stand . Daring the time she was under examination restoratives had to be constantly administered to keep her from fainting . She is a good-looking young woman . —Having been sworn she said , in answer to questions from the coroner : — I am a single woman , and am nineteen years of age . I have no friends to live with . About two months ago the deceased , James Wailing , invited me to go and meal with him and his sister . I did so . A _ short time after that he asked me to go and sleep with his sister , telling me at the same time 1 could
do so wjthout paying anything . I gave up my lodgings in Banford-roaJ , for which I had to pay , and slept with the sister of deceased for two nights . From that time I slept in the same bed as ths deceased , his sister sleeping upon another bedstead in the same room . This I continued to do , up to last Sunday night . The reason of my not returning to sleep with him after that time was not from any misunderstanding or angry words between us . I refuse to state where I slept last Monday night . I last saw deceased on Tuesday afternoon . The deceased ' s Bister Sarah having come to me while I was at a house close by , and having asked mo three times to go and see her at her own house , I at last consented to go with her . The deceased was standing behind the door when I went in . lie first spoke to
me saying , "Well , Martha . " His sister then went out of the house , pulling the door to after her . Be then sat down upon a chair behind the door , and pulled me on to his knee . He said tome " V / ell , Martha , we are alone now . " I replied , " les , \ a , are . ' ' lie then said to me , " 1 suppose you have left Baldry ? " I answered , " Yes , 1 have . " lie then said tome , " I suppose you are going to leave me , too . " I told him that I was not going to do so , although I intended it . During this conversation there was nothing at all in his conduct to create tlie Iea 3 t suspicion in my mind that he intended to injure me . But , while I was sitting pn bis knee , happening to turn my eyes towards the Vimlow . I saw him have a razor in his right hand . It was open . ' I was then frightened , and he looked very angry lie said to me , holding up the razor , " This will do your business . _ I screamed out , and tried to release myself from him , but he grasped mo so tightl y round the waist with his left arm that I could not . We then
struggled together , till at last he threw me down upon my left side , putting his knees upon my body , and all tbe time trying to cut my throat . I was screaming all this while as loudly as I could . I felt him attempting to cut my throat , and I used all my efforts to prevent hvta , I had my shawl on and I useel that to protect myself as well as I could . During my struggles with him I got hold of tho blade of the razor with ray left hand , but he , findingthat I had hold of it , dvow it through my hand , which was rendered perfectly useless from the wound I received . Then it vras that ho cut me under the ri ght side of the face . At the moment he did so , a woman named Teager opened the dooi ' j and came into tho room . Prom that moment I became insensible , knowing not what happened afterwards , until I found myself lying in tho bed of a nei ghbour .

Since then tho hi gh sheriff of Gloucestershire "in grand procession came " to Over Bridge to escort tho same \ m *\ e <\ judge to his lodgings , when he too was doomed to disappointment , for it was discovered that the good tempered , healthy-looking horseman who hud trotted up the Westgate-st ' reet about an hour before , was no other than Mr , Baron Martin himself , who , tUo better to enjoy the very beautiful and varied scenery on his road , had preferred taking horse , and so accomplishing his journey .

possible expedition used to disconnect the carriages , tbe flames spread to five of them , doing considerable damage . A spark from the engine is supposed to have fallen on a waggon loaded with hemp , and the contents of this , and of two loads of cloth on adjoining waggons , with loads of cotton waste on two other waggons , were almost entirely destroyed . Some goods upon a sixth carriage were a good deal scorched . Frightful Colliery Accident . —Seven Lives Losr . —Early on Monday morning the Potteries were thrown into a state of painful excitement by the intelligence that an explosion had taken place at the Uhborley Goal Mines , belonging to Juhn Ridgway , Esq ., " the well-known master potter of Cauldon-place . About seven o ' clock one of the
" butty" colliers ( Ral ph . Hancock ) who has fallen a victim to the imprudence of his companions , entered the pit with 8 ix other men to commence work , when a quantity of exploswe gas , which bad collected in tho roof , at once ignited , and produced an explosion . This man , it seems , bad wisely provided himself with a safety lamp ; but his fellow-sufferers had only unprotected candles , and hence tho accident . The shock produced by the explosion was tremendous . The other workmen who "were engaged in different sections of tho mine were completely appalled , and even those at work in tbe adjoining
pits heard a rumbling noise , which to their experienced ears conveyed tbe first intelligence of the disaster . For some time it was impossible to enter that portion of the raino in which the accident took place . Four men who first essayed this task , wore taken out again in an apparently lifeless state , the foul gases had completely overpowered them , but medical aid being on tbe spot , they were shortly restored . On resuming the search forthe survivors , if any , the bodies of four of the Sufferers ware brought up in a most frightful state of mutilation , and quite dead . Tho search was continued , and about twelve o ' clock the other three bodies wero
discovered in the same state . Thus it will be seen , that out of the seven men who entered the particular section of tbe pit where the accident occurred , not one has escaped with his life . It is impossible to portray the excitement produced by this disaster . Mr . Ridgway , on hearing of tho accident , immediately hastened to the scene , in company with Mr , Scott , ii Burgeon , of Sheldon , but unhappily this latter gontleman ' s skill was unavailable . The names of tho unfortunate men aro : —Kalth Hancock , a "butty , " Edward Forrister , aturusman ; John Goodfellow , a boy employed in tilQ lllino ; GGOl'ge Sumher , a turnsman ; and William Hopkins , Thomas Jones , and George llountford , colliers .

Numbers of such characters in Glenswilly , Coravaddvand the Old Townby
