It appears tliat the middle spring or through, brace broke while coming along the Mungapakcha, the coach being crowdod with, "passengers. Fortunately the' road was Wand assistance handy, and after somo delay the brace wis spliced with wire and a' fresh, start made, .'.
They had not proceeded; far, how-"] ever, before another stoppage occurred, and here things. looked serious. At a point called tho "Sugar Loaves", the road for a distanco of nearly a chain had slipped fully throe feet. It was with/great difficulty the coach was got over, and it is feared this part of the road will have totally disappeared into the river this morning and wheel traffic of all kinds suspended for some time. The engineer will be onfye scene this morning, aiid no doubt a gang of men will bo put on to cut a fresh track in the face of the hill,
