:= DOUBLE COLLISION ON THE RHYMNEY II RAILWAY. [BY OUR OWN REPORTER.] A collision of a two-fold character, which for some time blocked up the road, but was, fortunately, attended by a remarkable immunity from serioua consequences by a remarkable immunity from serious consequences to the passengers or servants of the company, occurred yesterday morning in the new tunnel of the Rhymney railway. The 9 a.m. Rhymney passenger train from Cardiff, which also carries through passengers to the North, had nearly reached the northern end of the tunnel, when it overtook and came into collision with a train of empty coal wagons proceeding to a colliery up the Rhymney Valley. The force of the collision threw the passenger engine partially off the rails, and caused it some slight injury, but the engine-driver ancfer-stoker escaped unhurt. The carriages were not damaged at all, and the passengers, though they were considerably shaken, anyone or two in the foremost carriages are said to have received contusions, suffered no serious in- jury apart from the fright the shock occasioned them. The break van, and the wagons at the tail of the train of empties sustained greater damage, and but that the passenger train was proceeding at less than ordinary speed, the collision would, no doubt, have been more severe. As it was, the van which re- ceived the force of the concussion was nearly shat- tered, and the breaksman, John Williams, living in System-street, Splotlands, was very much shaken, and got one or two nasty cuts on the head, while his com- panion the guard was also badly bruised. The wagons further away were thrown oil the rails, and fell across the down line of rails. At that moment, and before any attempt could be made to warn or stop it, a down train, laden with coal, dashed into the overturned trucks, smashing up the wood and iron work, and com- pleting the destruction. The engine of the down mi- neral train was thrown off the metals, but did not turn over, though it cut up the line at the side for a short distance. The wagons behind were not, damaged, and ths drivers and stokers were, also, very little hurt. The darkness of the tunnel, the density of the fog caused by the smoke and steam, and the noise of the collision, made the scene at first one of great confusion, and together with the shock of the concussio i, excited considerable alarm among the passengers. Mr. J. W. Thomas, the superintendent of the line, was in the train, and he quickly ascertained the nature of the ac- cident, re-assured the passengers, and then telegraphed information to Cardiff, and sent to Caerphilly station to stop the approaching down passenger train. A num- ber of plate layers and labourers employed near the tunnel were at once set to work to remove the debris. The passenger engine was soon replaced upon the rails, and it backed the carriages out of the tunnel, and con- veyed the passengers, who had not left their places, back to Cardiff, where they arrived about ten o'clock. Half-an-hour after the accident, Mr. Cornelius Lundie, traffic manager, arrived on the spot on an engine, and brought with him an additional supply of workmen to clear the line-no easy task in the darkness, and some distance from the tunnel end but one which was executed as rapidly as possible. By middle day the scattered wood and iron work of the demolished wagons and the other relics of the collision were cleared from the up line, and the 12.40 train from Cardiff, which carried many of the passengers whom the previous train had taken back, passed through the tunnel safely. Soon after, the down line was clear, and the road so far repaired, that. the down train, which had been delayed at Caerphilly station for three hours, was enabled to proceed to Cardiff. During the whole of yesterday afternoon a large body of men, directed by Mr. Lundie and Mr. Thomas, were engaged in repairing the effects of the accident. Traffic on the up line was resumed at middle day, and the down mineral trains continued soon after. The cause of the accident is at present unknown. The line between Cardiff and Caerphilly, with a view to ensure greater safety, is worked upoa the electric block system, so strongly recommended by the Board of Trade. How, in the face of this, it was possible for one train to follow another within so shurt a time upon the same line of rails, is unaccoun able. No blame can attach to the driver of the pa; senger train, nor, by a parity of reasoning. C¡¡n the driver or guard of the train of empties be ¡-a:d to be in fault. Several engines, with a great deal of steam on, had passed through the tunnel just before, and the thick- ness of the vapour, combined with the Cimmerian gloom, prevented the driver from seeing the train before him, which, being a day train, had no tail lights. More- over, at the signal box at the entrance to the tunnel, though the danger flag was at first exhibited, and the driver slackened speed, the white flag was afterwards shown, indicating that the line was clear to Caerphilly. [FROM OUR CAERPHILLY REPORTER.] Yesterday morning a serious collision happened on the Rhymney railway, in the tunnel situated between Caerphilly and Cardiff. The passenger train leaving Cardiff at 9 a.m., when about 150 yards from the north side, ran into a part of mineral train which had broken loose, smashing the b ea's van a-.il two empty wagons to atoms, and injuring two men, John Wiiliams, fire- man, and Eli Payne, the guard, who were in the brack van. The wagons were scattered over the down line as well, and just at the same time a down train was entering the tunnel, and coming into collision with the -overthrown wagons, made a greater debris, the engine running off the line and tearing the road up for several yards, but receiving very little damage. All the pas- sengers escaped from any injury, except a shock and a little fright. Mr. Thomas, the superintendent, as it happened, was travelling with the passenger train. He returned to the signal box on the south side, and tele- graphed to Cardiff for an engine to take the passengers back to Cardiff, and not to send on more traffic. Both roads were completely blocked, and-continued so for hours. Messrs. Lundie, Thomas, Canty, and Jones, with a large gang of men, and about eight engines, were soon 0 on the spot, and were quick in removing the debris The up line was cleared by two o'clock, when passenger trains went up and down, and traffic was resumed. Passengers for Cardiff were delayed at Caerphilly station for nearly four hours. The fireman, whose injuries were at first of a serious nature, was removed to the Railway Inn, and his bruises attended to by Mr. Llewellyn.

Nine felons, convicted of robbery with violence, are at present in Newgate awaiting punishment by the lash. It is probable that five of them will be sent to Holloway Gaol to receive their scourging. Near the town of Mold, North Wales, there is now living a family of six persons, two men and four women, whose united ages amount to 1154 years. Three of the females are old maids, and the two men are old bstchelors. Their father was a Scotchman, and their mother a Welshwoman. One died 88 years and the other 93 years of age. DR. LiviN-GSTO-E. -Among the passengers who left Liverpool, on Wednesday evening, for Africa, in the British and African Company' steamer Yolta, was Mr. Charles Livingstone, British Consul at Fernando Po, and brother of the celebrated African oxplorer. Mr. Livingstone expresses the greatest confidence in t! e safety of Dr. Livingstone, whom he believes to have been detained by the unwillingness of the natives to assist him in his object. Mr. Livingstone also thinks that his brother will, in the couse of some months, reach the sea coast near Zanzibar.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN BRISTOL.,
COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN BRISTOL., The School Board for Bristol have found it necessary to put into force the compulsory clauses of the Elemen- tary Education Act. On Thursday, three parents who had neglected to send their children to school were summoned before the magistrates for a breach of the bye-laws. From the evidence of the visiting officers, we are glad to find that no undue severity has been re- sorted to, and that legal proceedings have been adopted only as a last resource. The board has acted wisely in thus carrying out the Act efficiently, but at the same time with moderation. In only one instance was a fine inflicted, and this, singularly enough, was in the case of a man who was in receipt of parochial relief, and who said that he commenced sending his child to school on Monday last. The other cases were ad- journed in order to give the offending parents an oppor- tunity of complying with" the requirements of the bje- laws.
THE TICHBORNE CASE.
THE TICHBORNE CASE. The "claimant" still remains in Newgate, bail not having been forthcoming, although rumours were cur- rent that the Marquis of Queensbury and Lord Rivers were prepared to become sureties. Oar readers will have noticed that in reply to questions by Mr. Eykyn and Mr. Scourfield, the Attorney General stated in posi- tive terms that the prosecution of the claimant for per- jury will be carried on by the Government, with the best legal assistance at its disposal, so that there will be no failure of justice arising from the fact that the country does not possess an officer having the functions of a public prosecutor. The hon. and learned gentle- man, however, declined to commit himself to any Statement in reference to the course to be pursued wi h r gard to any other person or persons connected with the case—this being a matter which is now the subject of grave consideration on the part of the Government. We understand (hit Mr. Holmas has a1 r> Q a letter to the Attorney.General, stating that all the papers in his possession with regard to the case shall be pre- served in order that they may, if rf-quired, be produced at the claimant's trial for perjury, he has also signified his willingness, in accordance with the views expressed by the Lord Chief-Justice, to appear in the witness- box and depose to all the facts and circumstances within his knowledge. The eleven jurymen were, on Wednesday, paid their fees hr their attendance for the last 33 days. The solicitors on both sides agreed on a former occasion to pay them between them. Tho first sitting extendel to 40 days, the second to 30, and the last to 33 days; the fees being 103 guineas to each juryman the total amount being £ 1,189 13s.

SCHOOL INSPECTORS AND EDUCATIONAL BOARDS. The letter of instruction issued to her Majesty's In- spectors of Schools with respect to the assistance to be given by the Educational Department to School Boards for the purpose of providing accommodation in their respective districts has been made public. If the inspector reports a greater deficiency than the School Board, the Department reserve the right of issuing a requisition calling upon the Board to meet that defici- ency but should the School Board report a greater de- ficiency than the inspector, and the actual census re- turns give a greater number of children than the inspector's estimate, the Department will adopt the calculations of the Board. If the difference has refer- ence to the sufficiency and efficiency of existing schools for the requirements of the district, the Department will consider every public elementary school as suit- able. At the same time no unnecessary obstacle will be thrown in the way of the proposals which School Boards, as representing the wishes of the ratepayer, may make as best calculated to extend or improve the school simply of their district.
