THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, MAT 14. There was a much larger supply of wheat at market this day. It sold languidly at same prices as last week; but in some instances the buyers had rather the turn in their favour.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—There has been a good business doing in each description of grain during the past week, at fully the advance noted in our last report, and in some instances at somewhat more money. The tem perature has been milder, but still it is not " May weather." Arrivals are rather larger, but the demand takes off everything from ship. Our farmers brought a fair supply of wheat for our this day's market, and were asking a smart advance upon the enhanced rates of last Tuesday. The report from Mark-lane rather checked the courage of our millers, and they were only sly buyers at the prices of last week, say 40s to 41s for good runs of 631bs wheat; for one or two picked samples Is, more money was paid. Very little fresh foreign offering, and no alteration in value to be reported. The demand for barley continues. For malting purposes it is almost exclusively con fined to heavy sorts, Chevalier Saal obtaining the preference. Grinding is very scarce, and full prices are paid. Very few beans offering, and the last noted advance is fully maintained. The transactions in peas and oats are very limited, as are also the supplies. The linseed market is rather firmer ; the above arrival is of middling and low qualities. Linseed cakes are 5s per ton dearer for all sorts, with a much reduced stock of foreign ; late cold weather has thrown a large consumption upon this article. No rapeseed offering. Rape cakes meet a fair sale at our above currency. Bones must again be written dearer. The following are the present prices of grain : 8. 8.

Sir,—On Monday the 13th, was another length ened and cold debate on the Australian Colonies Government Bill ; which was read a third time, and passed. On Tuesday debate on two Metropolitan Water works Bills, which were nega ti ve d on th e secon d reading. The first, whi c h propose d a supp l y of water from Artesian well s , was opposed on t h e groun d o f inexpedience. The other, which proposed to derive a supply from the Thames, involved the unsettled ques tion of, first, whether water is to drink, and secondly, whether it is to wash with. It was stated there were mills, which, if the citizens drank, they might drink dry; and therefore it appeared to be settled that the citizens ought not to drink, still less to wash. The House is waiting for some twenty Members to accept the Hundreds of the grave, and then it will begin to apply itself to the sanitary question. On the same day was brought on the motion for re ' turning to an Eight Shillings Duty on Foreign Corn. It was not so worded ; but this was declared, with all the precision of which language is capable, to be the meaning of its supporters. The defence of the Free-Traders was exactly what might be supposed to have resulted from putting the enemy into com mand. Speaker after speaker came forward, to make the most wounding admissions which half-informed advocates could stumble into. Nothing was absent which could indicate prostration of power or nullity of argument. The attack, on the other hand, was conducted with the greatest ability and vigour, the speakers appearing to rise above their ordinary powers atient animal croup to the storm, as they assailed the passive party, which imitated the impression on an accidental hearer must have been, and says in dumb action, " Pelt away." The that if superiority in argument was concerned, the Corn-Laws must be fully restored in six months. The scene was not altered, till the Chancellor of the Ex chequer rose ; and he made some telling hits, on the evidences of increasing and not decreasing prosperity since the change. The Member for the 'West Riding followed with some caustic attacks on his opponents, which is the direction in which his great strength lies. But nobody touched the main points of the question. There was contest at great length, whether this or that prophecy agreed with the present price of wheat, and whether an East wind or a West wind brought the greatest quantity of corn to market. But nobody touched your ques tion, which is whether the foreign trade of Bradford is to be put down to serve the land-owners. Those who by thenustom of the House are allowed to speak on important questions, would not do it ; and those who would have done it, were not allowed. The House of Commons, like language, is for the conceal ment of ideas. The inference from it to you and others, is not to look to the House of Commons but to 184 against th e mot i on, showed to the Free Trade Hall. There is no room for r easons in the other place, or at all events none for your s . Th The pretty division, of clearly House. In the mean time the opponent goe s on triumphantly and scarcely . opposed, t o l ay hi s founda tions for better prospects in the next. Of all 298 the dispositi on o f t h e present inex plicable things the most mysterious, is why the Free Traders after carrying their cause before the country once by sheer argument, should thus recall their ene mies to life and power, by refusing to take advantage of the splendid opportunity presented in the House of Commons to such of them as have the liberty of speech. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 15th May, 1850. COURT CIRCULAR. -- Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent ♦isited the Queen yesterday at Buckingham Palace.

The Length of the shears is 106 feet, including the caps and rests. One of the pieces , is entire from one tree, but the other being several feet shorter, a piece of about 30 fret in length has been joined to it with Jeffery's marine glue, and haying been admirably put together under the su perintendence of Mr. Munday, the master mast-maker, the joined part of the shears appears as strong ►s the ' part formed from one solid tree.

TRADE OF THE SEVERN. —A handsome steamer, the City of Worcester, arrived at our Lower Quay on Wed nesday afternoon. She brought from Glasgow 70 tons pig iron, Hardy and Padmoro; 1,107 bags Bolivian guano, 11. and J. Webb ; 4 hbds. whiskey, Josiah Stallard ; and 2 hhds. ditto, Powell and Sone. Her length is 107 1 / 4 feet, she is 21 feet beam, schooner rigged; her engines are of 35-horse power. The is built of iron, and is fitted with an auxiliary screw-propeller ; and the masts and chimney can be lowered so that she may pass under the bridges of the Severn. The vessel is a fair specimen of the ship-building and en,ineering of her well-known builders, the Messrs. Napier, of Ulasgow, and reflects great credit on her able architect, Mr. Hunter, of that city. She can carry 150 tons, at which lading her draught of water would be between 7 ft. and Bft. ; and when empty, she draws but 3 ft. forward, and 4 ft. aft. There are berths for ten passengers in the cabin, and a number of steer • age or forecastle passengers may also be accommodated. We understand that several of these berths were taken, and that the steamer has since sailed for Dublin with a cargo of goods from Droitwich, Stourbridge, Worcester, &c. It is now suf ficiently established that nothing but an extension of the improvement of the river below Worcester is required to in sure to this city and district all the advantages of sea-going vessels of 150 or 200 tons coming up at every season of the year withoat lightering, and thus greatly diminishing the cost of the transit of goods. All parties are looking with anxiety for the result of the Government report on the Severn EUIViaIktIVI expected in a few dayi.— Trorceeter Chronicle. [PRICE SD. BILL.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT, Oa Saturday forenoon a somewhat alarming col lision took place at the North Bridge station of the North British Railway, which occasioned serious in jury to a considerable number of the passengers, but we are glad to say was unattended by loss of life. As the eleven o'clock mail-train for Berwick, which carries on passengers to Newcastle, York, London, &c., was about to leave the station, the crank axle of the engine broke immediately on the applica tion of the steam. This having effectually disabled the machinery, a pilot engine was sent down to St. Margaret's station for another locomotive, and the former engine being meanwhile an obstruction to the train, the carriages were drawn back to the turning-tables, and put upon another line of ra ils. The engine sent for, which the pointsman t had received orders to put upon the line on wh ich he unusual even for swift trains, and wi train stood, soon came up, and at a speed,.thou we t be m lie u v e e h , slackening its pace, dashed right train. By one of those truly fortunate o i t i li it e er p p a o s s a i e t n io g n e s r which so often avert the most fear u gs in t , h e d e s t t r i a n i e n d , and were literally smashed to pieces, the latter, whi c h cfoornsLeqeeudesn,csens,dassgheoeopdstrvuacnk, filled were fi wi rst th to an English . line, .almost_ . the former being, with its ' onlinn l d i g fted off its frame and dashed d. The concussion was also felt upon the ground . thrown vio lently by the passengers who, according to the statement of several, were suddenly forward from their numerous fwaallsifalling in vehicle shiebsl occupants, seats and back again, and in consequence a number of them sustained painful bruises. One lady belonging to Edinburgh, who stated she was looking out of the window at the moment, was severely cut en the side of her face from the temple to the chin, which bled profusely ; a gentleman was hurt in a similar manner ; a lady from York sustained a serious bruise; a gentle man was cut on the back of the head, another on the brow, and several others, indeed almost all the passen gers, were more or less personally injured, but we are glad to say, that we have heard of no injury by which life is endangered. The engineman and fire man also escaped, and fortunately the tender was thrown off the rails by the shock, so that the effect was less felt in the carriages. One of the guards oar the train, seeing the furious rate at which the engi ne approached, ° approached, al so l ea p e d f rom hi s b ox b e f o re theo sion took place. Two of the pigs only in the tr uck were killed. After the accident another engi ne was sent for, the . carriages were again transferred to delay, and ano therd the train proceeded after nearly an hour's line, an accompanied by a considerable num ber of the pas.

We trust this is only an individual and exceptional instance; but in any view it calls for a rigid inquiry by the directors into the engine-driving departmeat.—Ca/edoniim Mercury of Monday.
