LITERATURE. " The lodge beneath its radiance gleamed,— Into some curds there shot a ray; As if within the bowl it dreamed To find on earth the milky whey. " Lured by the clearness of the sky, A party, though the hour was late, Resolved on ordering a fly, To waft them to the Chiswick Fete. " And by those sympathetic chains Few can describe, but each one owns, The same idea had struck the Paynes, Brown, Thompson, Edwards, Smith, and Jones. " Oh, sympathy! thou haat the power To make twelve hearts in concert throb; And eke to give, within one hour, Twelve different liv'rymen a job. " Thus did thine influence extend (Explain it, ye who study physic); Making a lot of parties send For vehicles, to go to Chiswick. " No sooner had they reached the spot, Than straight the sky is seen to lower; And, like a curious watering pot, Pours down a most terrific shower. The belles can't save their satin bows, Their silks are watered—how they scamper! Fate on that fete unkindly throws A sudden, but decisive, damper." HISTORY of the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. Chapman and Hall, London, 1844. The work before us, which appears from time to time in separate Parts, is a translation from the German, and i s o f a mo:A comprehensive character, P rofs to b e ne i t h er more nor less than a history T the leading nations in Europe during, the eighteenth oentury—and not only a history of their politics, but of their literature also. The work, we understand, has been favourably received in Germany, and so far as we can judge, from the detached portions of it which WQ have yet seen, it is not unworthy of its reputation, The account of the famous 'War of the Sett:cession, as it is called, is given at great length, and with much apparent accuracy ; and the author kiss taken no slight pains in drawing the portrait of the notorious Count Bruhl, the Saxon Minister—a clever, dashing adventurer, who indulged in the most wanton, extravagance at the very time when Saxony was. reduced to a state of almost absolute bankruptcy. the portion of the work which we like least is that wherein the author passes his opinions on the prin cipal literary characters of England during the 'period of which ho treats ' • these opinions a re , many of them, j ust enough in their way, but they seldom rise above superficial common-places, and appear to be less the results of his own critical inquiries, than of the scores of critics who have preceded him in the Zack of investigation. HEDDER WICK'S POEMS. Butherglen, Glasgow, 1844. The author of this quarto volume of poems is skilful versifier, and puts forth no sentiments but such as do credit to his heart, but we should be guilty of egregious flattery were we to tell him that he is a poet. Taste he has and judgment, and occasionally be exhibits genuine feeling, but he is deficient in the imaginative faculty, of which we need no more con vincing proof than is furnished us in every page of his namby-pamby " Ode on Shakspeare." The best things in the volume are the sonnets, one of which, suggested by the word " Farewell," contains one or two touches of genuine pathos. THE TOTTENHAM CHURCHES. The following circular has been forwarded to us for publication:— 41 TO THE BIII3BCIIIIIIIER9 TO THE WOOD-GREEN CHURCH FUND. " The deputation appointed to wait upon the Bishop of London, on the subject of the proposed changes in the Church service, having learnt that an erroneous impression exists as to the result of their interview with his Lordship, desire to afford to their fellow•subscribers a correct statement of the facts. "They do this in consequence of a declaration made at the last meeting by the clergy to the effect, that the deputation had engaged to make no opposition to the introduction of the changes proposed, if deferred for twelve months. " The deputation distinctly disavow any such compact being entered into by them; they made no stipulation whatever; and the subscribers are per fectly at liberty to adopt whatever course they may deem advisable under the future circumstances of the case. " The deputation cannot but regret that the inju dicious annoußeemont of the clergy should have called forth this declaration. " THOMAS CORNEY. B. G. WINDUS. P. JOHNSON. JOSIAH WILSON.

GRAND MUSICAL FESTIV AL AT viENNA_-__There was a grand musical festival held aV us i j e c nna on the loth of this month, by the Society of 80% the Ana trian Empire. The concert was held in Winter Riding-school, on which occasion upwardTofrO thousand artists, vocal and instrumental, gav e their neser vices, to assist in the performance of I;aydu'a cele brated oratorio of the " Seasons," which was performed in a itylo of magnificence never 'before er:,,lied. conviction that, in creating all this clamour, you are only drawing the attention of England to your Scotch currency, and taking the very measure which is most likely to promote the danger you wish to avoid, Sir JAMBS GIBSON CRAIG said that the resolutions Were in no degree inconsistent with the different points alluded to by Lord Melville, On the contrary, the resolutions expressly state that their supporters are willing to consider any proposition which has for its object to add greater security to the present system. His Noble Eriend (Lord Dunfermline) went further than Lord Melville, for he would do away with small notes altogether, as inconsistent with the resolutions of the Bullion Committee, of which he was a member. Of the resolutions of this Bullion Committee, be (Sir James) would only say that they were attended with a degree of mischief which he hoped never again to see in this country, and that more people were ruined by them than by any measure that was ever brought before Parliament. With regard to what had fallen from both Noble Lords on the necessity of Scotland supplying her quota to the gold circulation of the kingdom, he presumed to differ from them. He begged them to look at the situation ' in which this country was placed. The whole of our taxes and a great part of our wealth was sent to London and spent in England. Did we ever ask anything from England in return which we did not pay absolute value for ? It was a condition, then, of the situation in which England was placed, that, having received nearly the whole of the wealth of our country, she should bear the burden of this wealth. Mr. TTTLER, of Woodhous e l ee , said that, as th e meeting had n o p roper means of ' knowing the inten tions of the Government on this subject, and as there was considerable difference of opinion among the high authorities who lad given their sentiments upon it, he thought the moit prudent course was to delay the consideration of the question until they really knew the intentions of Ce Government. He moved ac cordingly. After a few words frcm Mr. Aircumos, of Dro more, in supp or t o f t h e resolutions, the meeting divided, when 13 voted for the motion, and 13 for the amendment. The votes being equal, Sir ;Toast HOPE, the Chair• man, gave his casting vote in favour of the resolutions, THE COMIC ALMANACS. Bosnte, London, 1844. A copy of George Cruikshank's " Comic Almanack'' for 184.5 is now lying before us ; it is illustrated with twelve embellishments characteristic of the different months of the year, together with several other plates hit off in the artist's most facetious vein. A " Monster Meeting" is an irresistibly humorous pro duction. An unhappy jack-tar is standing at the edge of a forest close by a river, while a vicious-look ing bear is leaping up on his shoulders, from which it has just snatched a hasty mouthful ; a huge alligator, open-mouthed, is preparing to make an attack on his legs ; a snake is darting from a tree right down upon him; and to increase the comforts of his situation, the head of a tiger is seen peeping out from beneath some *lick underwood hard by ! The sailor's countenance is full of the most ludicrous bewilderment and affright, apLcl he evidently inclines to the opinion that it is all o*r with him, and it is no use, therefore, to attempt maki,kg any resistan ce . Th e " Court of Young Eng land''ls a good-humoured quiz upon this band of sturdy Reformers, and represents an infant Queen surrounded by a set of infant courtiers, all looking as innocent and guileless as so many lambs. The " Fall of the Leaf" is represented by the sudden giving way of the leaf of a dinner-table, just at the moment when it is crowded with good things, and the appetites of the guests are duly wetted for the on slaught. The hostess, squatted on the floor with the dish of fish in her lap, presents an image of the most towelling melancholy, and not less pathetic is the countenance of the host, who seems philosophicall s y resigned to destiny. The "Horticultural Fate' shows a party of well-dressed ladies and gentlemen exposed to a pitiless shower of rain, as usually happens to be the case when the Society give their annual fete at Chiswick. We quote the verses illustrative of this lively design : " The morn was beautiful and bright, The sun, that general adorner— Was gliding with its glowing light, The iron rails at Hyde Park Corner.

If the law has not ex chided them trona this ortlinary right of Christianity and humanity, the ministers of the Chtircii will not surely be degraded by performing the office; on the contrary, the geherality of the clergy will rejoice that in this last ofEee of Christian charity thei% is no separation between the Church and their Protestant Dissenting brethren." Sir Join . /Victim. then goes on to observe, under an evident impression that the intimation is a necessary one :—" it is by a lenient and liberal construction of the laws of disability and exclusion, and not by a captious and vexatious con struction and application of them, that the true in terests and true dignity of the Church Establishment are best supported." Here we find the Bishop and the Judge directly at variance on the important sub ject of the burial of Dissenters by ministers of the Establishment. The former insists that that funeral service of the Church ought not to be read over such schismatics ; while the latter maintains that the clergy ought to rejoice that in this last office of Christian charity there is no separation between Dissent and Orthodoxy. It is curious that the Bishop, from whom—when we take into consideration his sacred calling—the greatest amount of charity and forbearance might be expected, exhibits precisely the least of these, Christian quell ties, and adopts the ultra-intolerant view of the question ; while the Judge, who, as a keen, practised lawyer and man of the world, might be supposed to he less encumbered with elevated and catholic impres sions, takes that view of the case which is most in ac cordance with the beneficent and enlightened spirit of Christianity ! We trust that the majority of our readers will be far more readily disposed to side with Sir Jome NicuoL than with the Bishop of EXETER, for though the latter may, perhaps, have the authority of the Rubric in his favour, the former may plead tho direct sanction of the Gospel, which never fails to inculcate lessons of charity and toleration, and more than once alludes to "peace on earth and good will to men," as being the basis on which the Christian religion Is founded. But ihow can there be either "peace on earth," or "goodiwill to men," when the Church, by its intolerant practices, is the first to scatter abroad the seeds of discord and discontent ? How can a spirit ;of harmony and forbearance be expected to 'prevail in the social circle, when the Church earries its theological prejudices to so great an extent, as to refuse to administer the rites of sepulture to him whose lot through life it was to dissent, from conscientious motives, from some of its particular dogmas, though in the ruling principle of his belief he was a sincere and zealous Christian ? Surely he is no longer a Dissenter from whose body the breath of life has departed I Can the cold, sense less mass of clay which lies shrouded in the coffin, and which Corruption in a few hours will claim as her own, be justly reproached with its non-adherence to the Thirty-nine Articles ? Is the Church bound, as a part of her duty, to war with dust and ashes, and push her theological animosity beyond the tomb ? Cannot even Death soften the bitterness of her feelings, and induce her to offer up a prayer ;beside the grave of a Dissenter ? The Rubric may authorise her to refuse reading the burial service over his ashes ; but justice —common sense— humanity —religion—in a word, all the finer and nobler instincts of our nature alike revolt at the idea of such wretched—such preposterous bigotry. Our attention has been called to a wrathful philip pic in the Morning Advertiser, reflecting upoa an article we published, on the 19th instant, relative to " the affairs of New Zealand." Our Contemporary is at once so diffuse and so irascible, so angry and so playful (though Mr. HALLIBUETON will stare at, if he ever meet with, such a "counterfeit presentment" of SAM Suez's humour), that it is difficult to col lect what are the precise charges against us. We infer that the writer probably means to affirm, first, that he cannot detect " the two facts" to which we addressed our former observations. This is no fault of ours, and proves, at least, that our censor did not see double when he perused the article in question. But, since that touched upon two points only—and no more—(the petition complaining of Governor FITZROY'S conduct, and the commercial notice of the improved preparation of New Zealand flax)—our Contemporary's irritation, in respect of the second, must have made him quite oblivious of the first. Secondly, we are accused of "an indirect attempt to whitewash the leading persons connected with the New Zealand Company," and—of all things in the , world--of ultra-Toryism 11 It may be as unneces sary for us to repudiate the imputation of " indirect attempts" at attaining any given object of legiti mate discussion, as those of our being ultra-Tories, or the apologists of persons really "convicted" of the "most flagrant fraud and the most heartless cruelty." We are quite content to pass such self-evident ab surdities without further notice than the subjoined commentary upon one of them. Speaking of her MAJESTY'S Ministers and the New Zealand Com pany, we wrote thus:— " The course adopted by her MAJESTY'S Ministers was satisfactory to no party. A large portion of the public were displeased with what they considered, on the first announcement of the arrangements con cluded, to be an improvident and monopolitical bargain with a Joint-Stock Company for its special advantage." "The few previously-settled English residents 3 or proprietors within the limits of that dis tant country considered themselves aggrieved by the purchases of the Company on the one hand, and the powers assumed and delegated by the Horne Govern ment on the other." If this be " whitewashing the leading persons" of the Company, it must be white washing after a very Irish fashion. We never al luded to —never pointed at—the "leading persons," but spoke generally of the "managing direction, of the Company." Thirdly, we plead guilty, without hesitation, to the charge of not having consigned the directors "to the dark and dreary mines of Siberia" (as our Contemporary says he would have done) ; and indeed the whole of his apostrophe about the " firmament " and the " eclipse"—" the Times and .the Sun-flowers—is conceived in a strain of varie gated eloquence, utterly above our comprehension. Fourthly, he rebukes us for congratulating the colony and this country on the rapid improvements now " effecting in the culture, preparation, and manufacture of the New Zealand flax." We con gratulate them, again. Our Contemporary may enjoy his own notions of the trivial importance of this ele ment in the establishment of a colony's prosperity. 'We persuade ourselves—on the results of carefully pursued inquiries and experiments, instituted (we state the fact for his information) many years before the New Zealand Company was thought of, in respect of the produce of "some extent of soil" in that country—results submitted, here, to the highest scientific and practical authorities —that our anticipa tions are fully warranted ; and there, we leave them. If we did not know how prone men are, when pre occupied by one idea, to jump at all kinds of absurd and inconsequent conclusions, we might marvel at our censor's gratuitous assumptions. We strongly reprobate, and have never vindicated, the New Zea land Company's past proceedings ; but we also blame severely the conduct of the present Government and its predecessor towards New Zealand. This is not enough for our Contemporary. We don't follow in the wake of his one idea; therefore we are ultra- Tories. We d on 't t urn out to join th e war he has been waging on th e di rectors, Scc., of the N ew Zea land Company ; therefore 'w•f e are " converting New Zealand into a paradise," just as he himself is for transforming the offices of the Company in New Broad-street into lodgings in the mines of Siberia. We, he remarks, have written " a long, a very long article on New Zealand;" therefore he assails with a still longer critique upon our article. W e can only trace these remarkable prepossessions of a fancy which seems unconscious of facts, to the influence exercised upon it by a recent on:;laught made by the Times on a bubble Company. He recurs to the con• duct of that eminent journal with great unction, and is so emulous of similar ddstinction, that, in rushing at the New Zealand directors, he is for overthrowing all who come across him in his way. Den QUIXOTE would decimate the Moors, though he had f^ through half-a-dozen well-filled goat--' them. "Young ambition "m— -in its most hopeless i pads, Word ht , enlists them in th e cause o f th e one I prejudice which may happen to be paramount with him. Accounts from Madrid of the 14th state that the trial of General PRIM was resumed at ten o'clock on that day, in the presence of great crowds of spec tators, consisting chiefly of military men and fo reigners. ItnitlitA presided. The proceedings com menced with reading the ant of accusation, the written evidence, and all the other papers connected with the affair from the beginning, which occupied the Court till four o'clock, when the counsel for the defence were asked if they had anything to say, General SCHELL/ . demanded time to consider the additional evidence produced, but he was allowed only an hour and a half. At the meeting of the Court the counsel for each made speeches, but they were listened to with little interest, and the scene was monotonous till General PRIM himself appeared. An eye. witness thus describes the scene and the ap pearance of the accused : " General Prim is a very young, and still younger looking, man, his age being only 32 years. He possesses a handsome person, with a peculiarly prepossessing face. He was dressed on this occasion in a plain black dress, and the only thing military about him was his general's scarf, which was sent to him last year by General Ser rano after a victory gained over Amettler at Maturo. He was escorted into the middle of the hall by five sol diers. His appearance before the tribunal, his proud carriage, the disdainful glance with which he regarded his accusers, his firm and unembarrassed voice, and his sang froid, produced a deep effect both on the judges and on the public. He commenced by saying that had he been accused simply of conspiracy against the Government, he would not have appeared, but as people had chosen to suppose him guilty; of a foul and cowardly conspiracy, his honour required him to protest with all his force against so abominable a calumny. He went over the history of his principal accuser, Al berni, who at one time was dismissed from the army. He denied in the most solemn and positive manner the assertions made by tAlberni, and also protested against the evidence given by the other accusers associated with Alberni. The act of accusation, as drawn up by the Pro curator Fiscal, was also commented upon by the General with great indignation and force. He complained that, with regard to the trabucos, no proper investigation had been made to discover the truth of that part of the investigation, and he especially complained that the superior officer to whom the trabucos were sent during his absence, had not at all been interrogated. He also complained in a very dignified but indignant style of the unworthy manner in which he had been treated in prison ; not having been allowed for a long time even a chair on which to sit, and bning prevented from holding the slightest communication with any one, not excepting even his advocates, whom he was not allowed to see till he had been subjected to the most minute examination. He went on to say that the Procurator-Fiscal did not endeavour to prove his case by the evidence given in the depositions, but endea voured to make out a case by picking out such portions as suited his purpose, without reference to the whole tendency of that evidence ; and he finished his speech with the following words Either the Procurator- Fiscal has had the way he is to take laid down for him, or if he acts of his own accord, he thirsts for blood.' The speech of General Prim, which was spoken in a bold and off-hand manner, produced a great effect upon the audience. After General Prim had finished, three themoreo f with simply accusedweyote were introduced, uced,but against t the heycontented themselves manner in which the act of accusation was drawn up. The Pre sident then declared that the defence was at an end, and the public were excluded." The proceedings were brought to a close at nine o'clock, but the judgment is net known, as it must be submitted first to the Supreme Military Tribunal. The discussion in the Chamber of Depties, on the Reform Bill, was continued, and every amenciii:Pt rejected. The abolition of trial by jury, in matters connected with the press, was put to the Yote, carried by 127 against 22. The Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash, and 27 11-16 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20 9-16 at 60 days. The Paris papers contain a variety of articles on various subjects, and of considerable interest. The Coustitutionnel attacks the Government for the de fective state of the steam navy. The Commerce follows in the same strain on the neglected state of the mercantile navy ; and the Journal des Debats has a very long article :on the necesssty of establishing a better observatory at Paris, and calls upon the Go vernment to propose a vote in the Chamber for that purpose. Lord ROM's gigantic telescope seems to have led the writer to the subject, who certainly puts forth some amusing statements. Among others the following :—" The moon herself, which, astronomically speaking, is quite close to us (95,000 leagues, or thirty times the diameter of the earth)—the moon, with her ;gigantic mountains and her extinguished volcanoes, is the heavenly body with which we are the least acquainted. All that we know of her has been obtained with glasses which magnify two hun dred times. The new apparatus that is proposed will magnify six thousand times, so that we shall be able to perceive the mountains of our satellite as from Geneva we see Mont Blanc." The National contains communications from its Madrid correspondent relative to the trial of General PRIM and the state of the country, with an article denouncing in strong terms the CHRISTINO Cabinet, and the arbitrary acts of NARVARL. No certain in telligence had reached Paris respecting the plans or movements of ZnanArto. The following particulars, however, appear in the Phare de Bayonne " Some days back Zurbano, who since his return to Spain has been residing on his property in the neighbour hood of Logrono, received an order from the Spanish Government to proceed to Santander. It appears that, in place of conforming to this order, ho retired in the direction of the Sierra des Cameros, mountains sepa rating the province of Soria from that of Logrono. There, getting together some soldiers who had served ander him during the civil war, he placed himself at their head, and penetrated unexpectedly into the town of Najera, six leagues distant from Logrono. The number of soldiers that accompanied him is not exactly known. One version gives him 50 horsemen, another raises the number to 80, and finally, a third states that he had with him 50 horsemen and 80 foot soldiers, when he appeared before Najera on the evening of the 13th. As to the political standard which he has dis played, nothing has come to our knowledge on that point, although, for our own part, we are inclined to be lieve that he intends acting in favour of Espartero under the banner of the Constitution of 1837, or rather that of 1812, according to which the Queen could be declared under age, and a regency appointed ..for four years. The persons who are acquainted with the ferocity of Zurbano will not be astonished that his first act at No lena was to have an unfortunate ceiador, who fell into his power, shot. He had been so long deprived of the pleasure of shooting somebody I It is said that he has acted in a similar manner with respect to three other individuals, which does not in the least degree sur prise us, but we ought at the same time to add that up to the present time, we have learnt nothing with any cer tainty relative to these facts. Immediately after his entry into Najera, Zurbano convoked the Municipal Council, and had all the arms and horses fit for service in the town delivered up to him. He published an appeal to all the Progressists in the country, and particularly to such soldiers as served under his orders during the civil war. The Commandant -General of the province of Logrono hastened to dispatch extraordinary couriers to the Captains-General of Burgos, Navarre, and the Basque provinces, with the news of Zurbano's rising. The Captain-General of Burgos immediately directed two battalions composing the garrison of the place on La Rioja. On his side, the Captain-General of the , Basque provinces dispatched the day before yesterday all the troops that could b e di spose d o f at Vittoria, with General Jauregui, the second in command. It is proba ble that the Captain-General of Navarre, from which place we have not yet received any news, will also have tent from Pampeluna forces in the direction of Viana and Logrono. General Concha, the new Captain- General of the Basque provinces, who left Madrid in the night of the 13th, was proceeding to his command by the malle-poste, but, on his arrival at Burgos, having learnt the rising of Zurbano, he determined to remain in that city until he could proceed with an escort, for it was rumoured that some horsemen, who were said to belong to Zurbano, had appeared on the high road." The following is the article in the ConstitNtionnel on the steam navy of France : "According to a decision of the 4th of March, 1t . 4,a , our steam navy wa s t o cons i st of 40 vessels--viz., s or 540-horse power, 15 of 450, 20 of from 220 to 320 and 220 for the 178 r from a o h 2 3 2 0 0 0 t0 f 1 3 6 2 0 0 a a n n d a u v ri e d r e a r g ; e a o s f s 2 ain 2; 0, d an average of 150, the t o t a l would thop :4;t6 O - (at 160 and under and most of them of tt l hh s ee ,3 Bl s ms O ta h ol l o fe rse rJ a size , s. nu l r n: te l Bad 4if of , l e' ; "l 1.449-7-,7'lloPvreessseenl vessels We pow e h ad e , r o o n f r..ereaetiting on tho wh o l e on l y 8,240 horses viz seven yet, -" .ae frigate of 640, three of 450, one 0(320, 400, -gas 01 220, 21 of 160, lof 10, 2of 1 2'11, lof of I‘o, 3of 60, and 2 of 30% Itus, instead of a Ir _4ritime force of about 20100() horse-power, we had only ' about 8,000 and most of the vessels too weak and light to be of any use in the event of a war.

The court-martial on M. BESSQN met again on the 16th at Toulon. After hearing the remainder of the evidence, and the defence of LiPut. BriseDN, judges retired to deliberate, and at the end of about an hour returned into Court, and stated that, on the first question, " Had Lieut. BEssoN voluntarily caused the loss of the Groenland?" the answer was unani• mously in the negative. On the second question, " Had she been lost through want of precaution and care?" the answer was four in the affirmative, andfour in the negative. The defendant having the benefit of the equality, the President pronounced his ac quittal. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duke D ' ALNIALIII arrived at Toulon early in the morning of the 16th, accompanied by General DUROSICEL and the other persons of distinction with: whom they left Paris. The Princes, in the course of the day, visited the Arsenal, and were present at the launch of the Pour suivante frigate. Their reception at Toulon was en thusiastic in the highest degree. In the evening, there was a grand dinner at the Hotel of the Mari time Prefecture where the Princes had fixed their residence, and the town was illuminated. THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, Nov. 20.

In his late elaborate judgment in the case of the Rev. WALTER BLUNT, Curate of Helston, who, it may be remembered—among many other accusations which were brought against him by one of the church wardens of the parish—was charged with having re fused to bury the corpse of a young man who had been baptised by a Dissenting minister in a colony where no Church minister was to be found—in his judgment in this case, the Bishop of EXETER, al luding to the particular charge we have just men tioned, observed :—" I now resolve these doubts by saying that the office for the burial of the dead ought not to be used for an adult who, having been bap tised in schism and having lived a schismatic, has never been admitted into the Church." Now, in op position to this intolerant episcopal mandate, we will quote the emphatic opinion delivered by Sir Jour; Nlcuoi, upwards of five-and-thirty , years ago, in the case of " lima. against Wicias," as we find it given by a correspondent in the Times of this day :—."

The object of these resolutions was to maintain the present system of banking in Scotland. Lord Mel ville and Lord Dunfermline spoke against the resolu tions, the former, however, being in favour of one pound notes. Lord Rosebery and Sir J. G. Craig spoke on the other side ; and on a division, 13 voted for the resolutions, and 13 against them. Sir John Hope, the Chairman, gave the casting vote in favour of the resolutions. THIS DAY'S NEWS.

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. FROM OUR coRRo-rorARRNT.) NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY EVEIt'ING.-1 hAve just received authentic intelligence, of an alatmi:%7 ac cident on the Midland line, which eccurred this afternoon at Beeston, about four miles from this town. At ten minutes to three o'clock, the London train came into collision with a Derby train, and the result was awful. The stoker of the London train, and four passengers, are reported dead; arid many others severely wounded. The confusion, the dismantled engines, the broken carriages, but above all ; the cries and groans of the unfortunate sufferers are represented to me, as being most appalling. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, this afternoon at two o'clock. The greater part of the Ministers were present, Lord Aberdeen arrived in town this morning from Windsor Castle. A - , ...

It would appear that no blame can attach to any one engaged in con ducting the train. We give the fact as it has reached us, without having any further particulars of the ac cident. POLICE PROMOTION.—Mr. Inspector Shackell, for merly one of the old Bow-street oifions, but latLert , in spector of police in the G or Clerkenweli divi4ion, has been promoted by the Commissioners to the detevtive force. , MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE—FRIDAY. Although the return for the present week shows a good arrival of English Wheat, the supply of that article was by no means large. For all descriptions, however, the demand ruled heavy, at almost nominal prices. In Foreign Wheat next to nothing was doing, yet holders would not submit to lower figures. Barley and M►lt were a mere drug ; yet we can notice no alteration in the currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas, as on Monday, with exceedingly little doing. ARRIVALS. Wheat. i Earley. Oats.

We had on sale 54 beasts, in lair average condition, from Rotterdam, as also fifty horned and pulled Scots from Dundee. The number of sheep being very limited, the mutton trade was firm, and previous rates were readily supported. For prime small calves we had a steady inquiry, at, in some instances, a trifle more money. Other qualities were a dull sale. The pork trade ruled dull, yet prices remained about sta tionary.
