MONEY MAR,KET AND CO Ii INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market ;; yesterday closed quietly, and prices were unaltered. The sales amounted to 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was flat, and values Were still declining. At the Indigo sales held yesteriay 707 chests were sold, 230 bought in and 801 withdrawn. Fine Bengals maintained the advance of 2s. per lb. on July but defective descriptions were easier than on Tuesday. The dry-leaf Madras was chiefly withdrawn. In two days 1,391 chests have been sold, 753 bought in, 1,381 withdrawn, 3,525 passed, 7,988 remain, and 11,513 are declared. The present situation of the Money Market, and the losses sustained through the interruption of trade with America and India, as might have been anticipated, are occasioning numerous small failures among the commercial community. With one or two exceptions, however, they have not hitherto been of importance, and although several ad ditions may yet be made to the list of failed firms no alarm is felt for the general stability of credit. The elevation of the minimum to 7 per cent., with the probability of further protective measures by the Bar.k necessarily mates a little embarrassment ; but the prudence generally ob served, and the precautions already taken, will avert these calamities, which, under other circum stances, might have occurred. Those houses which have been brought down by the stoppages iu Ame rica, could not have foreseen the panic and its effects, and owing to the intimate rela tions between the two countries, and which have been greatly increased through the recent alterations in the tariff, such a collapse as that experienced on the other side would naturally exert a sympathetic influence here. These casual ties may be said, therefore, to have been unavoidable, so far a,y our merchants and manufacturers are con . cerned. The difficulty found in procuring accom modation will also place many weak firms not en gaged iu the American trade in an awkward position, but their disappearance from the Mercantile world would perhaps benefit trade rather than otherwise, since even greater houses might be sustained through their continuance in business. Besides some firms in the provinces, Messrs. Scarratt and Partington, 'woollen ware housemen, of London; have succumbed, and their liabilities aro supposed to be heavy. The half-yearly meeting of the Recife and San Francisco Pernamipco Railway Company was held to-day—R. Benson, Esq., in the chair. The chair man] introduced the report, which briefly states that the works were proceeding, and the line expected to be opened by the 2d December, the anniversary of the birthday of the Emperor of Brazil, when a discussion took place, in which several complaints were made of the slow progress of the works, but the chairman replied satisfac torily. The report was then adopted. From the accounts, it appeared that the balance in favour of the company was 96,596,1701. in England ; and the MITI already expended on the works, 342,000/. The Directors of the Bank of England were not long in consultation this afternoon, and they have not found it necessary to announce their intention of imposing any new measures of restriction. Al though this meeting was looked forward to with a general feeling of anxiety on the part of the 'com mercial interest, an impression seemed to prevail at the last moment that the establishment would be enabled to contend against the pressure without having recourse to further restrictive measures. This step having been determined upon there is now a quieter feelin g pervading all depart muents of business and the Funds show a tendency towards improvement. The demand for money, which has lately been very seriously increased, is now likely to relax, and during the next few days some relief will no doubt be experienced. The Funds from the commencement of business have exhibited increased firmness, and much of the excitement lately noticed has subsideJ. Mean while, however, there is a sensible diminution of speculative enterpise, the operators preferring to await the receipt of further advices from Ame rica and India before committing themselves to any great extent. Two failures have been announced, but upon the whole the settlement has passed off with less embarrassment than might h e ave been ex pected, considering the nature of the recent opera tions and the numerous chan ges i n va l ues . Con sols for money have been 88 to 88k, 884, and 8844, For the 10th prox. they were 88t The present quotations are 88 to 88k, and 88i re spectively.

Closing Prices I 13115 1 / 1 088 yesterday this day 1 THE LAT!' .13()RRIBLE MURDER AND MUTILATION. ) LATEST PARTICULARS--(THIS DAY). Up to the time of our going to press the clothes found with the remains in the carpet-bag had not been identified, notwithstanding the many thou sands who have inspected them. Seven days have now elapsed since the remains were found, and not the slightest clue of any kind has been dis covered by which the guilty parties can be traced, and we fear from the manner in which the investi gation is proceeding thet it will turn out a failure. We are inclined to believe that the fault does not rest so much with the police uhe have the case in hand as those under whose direction they act. To show the loose manlier in which the case is being investigated, we have only to remark that the police up to the time of the inquest were under the im pression that the eothes were wet when taken out of the bag by Kilsby, instead of which, we find from his evidence before the coroner that they became saturated and dirty by his laying them in the wet muddy water in the bottom of the boat. Then, again, there was the absence of one sock and the necktie, a circiunstanes at the time that greatly puzzled the authori ies, but after some days had passed over, the articlei were brought to them by one of the boys, he having found them in the boat —showing clearly that the search by the police had not been of that minute and careful character which the circumstane es o f th e case i mperat i ve l y ca ll e d for. But prob a bly th e most inexplicable portion of the mj stery i s th e d ou b t that st i ll rests i n th e minds of the auth or iti es relative to t h e sex t o w hi c h the remains belong, the manner in which they have been mutilated, the period when it was done, and the wound on the breast, for beyond all doubt the shirts do not present that bloody appearance fairly to be expected from the committal of so foul and .dastardly a murder al the cuts in them would lead to believe. The day following the commence mencement of the inquiry before the coroner, a gentleman of eminence in the profession of anatomy spent a considerable time iu examining the bones, &c., with Mr. Painter, and the result of his exa mination, we are inforni.d, want to corroborate all the opinions expressed by Mr. Painter before the coroner, but for some reason best known to the police, the name of the gentleman is withheld—a manifest injustice to Mr. Painter, for it is only fair to him that the name should be given, espe cially as the authorities do not appear to ,be satis fied with -the corroborative opinion, because we underAand it is their intention to call in (if not already done) a professional gentleman, to report to them his opinion that they may be fortified in the course they will be called upon to pursue. Such a proceeding must naturally cause a great distrust in the public mind, and lead to the inference whether the authorities have not some misgivings of its being a murder and how the remains were placed on the buttress. It will certainly be a most extra ordinary circumstance if the opinion expressed shortly after the discovery of the remains that it was a medical student's hoax, should turn out to be true, and remembering Mr. Painter's evidence as to the conformation of the pelvis, that the bones are portions of two human beings instead of one. We fear the public mind will not be relieved from the suspense and anxiety under which it at present labours for a considerable period, and we regret to have to add our fears that reports of an unsatisfactory character will gain cre dence from the ignorance or reserve of the police in communicating circumstances in connection with this, to say the least of it, most mysterious affair, that might otherwise appease the public mind, and in all probability tend to the furtherance of the ends of justice. The authorities at Bow-street -police-station, are ignorant of the circumstance connected with the finding of a human skull near Greenwich, as stated in some of the morning journals. The carpet bag, and clothes found with the re mains aro now being hung on a line across the yard at the back of the station for better examination, to which the public hare free access. Throughout the day thousands of persons, consisting of men, women, and children, gt atified. their morbid curiosity by a minute inspection and examination of them. MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.-SUSPECTED MURDER. Last evening, shortly before 6 o'clock, consider able alarm was created in consequence of the dis covery of the bodyof a male person in the Regent's canal, at Twig Folly-bridge, Green-street, Bethnal green, under very mysterious and suspicious circumstances. It appears that a young man named George Goathy, a labourer, was standing on the bank of the Regent's-canal immediately at the rear of the Queen's Arms public-hous e, w h en b e su dd en ly saw a human body rise to the surface of the water in front of him. He rais e d an alarm an d ca ll e d seve ral men to his assist ance , when the body was got on to the towing path. The ,body presented a 1 shocking spectacle, there being two large incised wounds in the neck, from which blood was issaing, and there were al so several contusions on t h e f ace and body, evidently th e result of cons id era bl e vio lence. The hand s were much bruised, and t h e b o dy had only been in the water about two days. The deceased wa sconveyed into the Q ueen ' s A r m s , whets a police consta b le of the K d i v i s i on t oo k charge of the body, while another ran for Mr. R. Meldola, the sur geon , of Green-street, who attended with promptitude, an d ordered t h e b o dy to be 1 stripped, which was accordingly done, w hen it was found to be that o f a man, apparen tly 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches in heieht, li g ht hair, and fair complexion. Ther e were two cuts, a bout an inch in dep.h, in the front o f the throat inflicted e xamination inflicted before death, and the gen era l t result of was, that the de cease d had com e by his death by some foul and unf a i r means. T he m arks on the face are similar to th ose wh i c h m i g ht be caused in fighting. When the b o d y was taken out of the water, he was witho u t coat and waistcoat ; his shirt sleeves were tucked up, and certain parts bore marks of blood. The d ecease d' s clothing only con sisted of a pair of cordu roy t rouse rs, a blue striped shirt, a black neckerchi e f, an d lace-up boots with brass eyelet holes. Th e l a t ter ar ticles were nearly new, and in the too were bob-nails. The police searched the pockets and found a to bacco box, marked "J. p., ,, a clasp knife, and a quantity of handbills. ie and ual r s d left their Last night several active officers of the K divi sion made inquiries in the m i g hbourhood of the canal, and ascertained from persons living near the spot where the deceased was found that on tworn the morning of Monday last, between n d vid e ld o'cl i )c,k, police,"and,t a tr l o th u o se u d gh b s y ev c e ri ra e l s i o h of ( u their beds, they were unable to l earn the cause of the outcry, or make any discovery.

(Before Mr. Cunmiasioner Bram) IN RE JONES.--A BANKRUPT COMPLIMENTED. This bankrupt carried on business at Brompton-green, and to-day came up for his certificate. Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees, who con sidered that it was a case in which they might submit it to the court as one in which the bankrupt was entitled to a certificate of a high class, as the bankrupt had been very diligent in assisting the assignees, and, although the bankruptcy had only taken place about three months since, the whole of the assetts had been got In and were sufficient to pay Bi. or 9s. in the pound. The bank rupt's failure arose from his endeavours to establish a business in a new neighbourhood close by the Consump tion Hospital. He commenced about two years ago, with a capital of between 7 and 8001. which he bad lost, but when be found himself utterly unable to stand against the losses, he came into this court, on his own petition, and handed over 401. or 501., the taking of the previous day the ...rignees. therefore, considered it a very meritorious case. His Honour said he could not go farther than grant• ing the certificate of the second class. He could not say it was a case of unavoidable boas, or he would have felt pleasure in granting one of the first class. IN NE INCR. This bankrupt was described as a surgeon, Scc , in Eaton-pi:sea, Pimlico. The case had been adjourned for the ba' kraut to answer certaia requisitions, and the assignees were satisfied. Mr. Lawrence urged that the bankrupt ought now to be allowed to pass, although he was still opposed by Mr. Bagley for an individual creditor. His Honour said that when the trade assignees and the official assignees were satisfied, a very etnlng case must be made out by evidence to justify a further ad journment. Ti this case he considered the bankrupt ought to pass. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MARLBORO UGH STREET. Henry Parker, a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with burgle riously entering the house No. 16, Cranboern-eourt, St. Martin's-lane, and stealing therefrom a quantity of table-Cloths and other articles, the property of Dionigio Sarnorico, restaurateur. ShaudrY, 208 C, deposed that about 3 o'clock this morning he was in St. Martin's-lane when he saw the prisoner and two other men, not in custody, loitering about in a very suspicious manner. He watched them for some time, when one of then► went away. He fol lowed the two others down Castle-street, whoa he turned back and went up St. Martin's-lane. When he came back to St. Martin's-lane ho missed one of the two men, and he then ca'led to another constable, and told him he thought something was wrong, and requested him to wait while he I xrimined the door. On going down the court for that purpose he met the prisoner, who appeared to be secreting some thing in the breast of his coat. He asked him what he had there, and upon his replying in • the negative, he thrust his hand into his breast and drew out the large butcher's knife, now produced. He asked the prisoner what he was going to do with that, when he said he had had a row with his wife, who was round the corner. Ile took him to the spot, but cou:d not find her. lie then examined the doors, and foued the doer of No. 16 open, and in the passage inside he found a large bundle containing several tablecloths and other articles pro duced. On examining the premises, found the door had been forced open, and from comparing the marks dis covered that the large knife produced had been used for that pgrpose. He then took the prisoner to the station, where he was searched, and two knives, a set of studs, and other things were found upon him. The prosecutor proved leaving the premises in a secure state previous to retiring to rest, and identified the articles produced as his property. The constable.having applied for a remand, the pri soner was remanded for a week. MARKET NEWS.—(Tizis Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Towards seven at night the crater appared all on fire, long flames suddenly arose from it, then the lava gushed forth, on a very broad surface and with great rapidity, in the direc• tion of the Fosse dclle Faraone, and in less than three hours it had run over all the distance that separates the crater from the Atrio di l Cavallo, the place where stand the Vesuvian Observatory and the famous hermitage which serves as a refuge for travellers of all countries, for no foreigner comes to Naples without making the ascent of Vesuvius. Thanks to the fine mountain road that the Government has made, one ascends easily in three hourp. All the quays of Naples were thronged with people admiring this beautiful eruption." The Russian papers record that a few days ago a per son unknown, and who refused to give his name, went to Vie prison of Tumene, in the government of Tubolek, in Siberia, and begged that nine pieces of linen might be accepted for the prisoners. In the l i nen were found I wrapped 5,009 roubles in notes and 1,429 in sayer. MILITARY ANTECEDENTS OF Sll3 Lt. HiVE ,OCK. An Orderly-room Sergeant, in writing to a con temporary, says :—Gen. Havelock's' first commis sion is dated July 20, 1815 ; his second, that of teutenant ? Oct. 24, 1821 ;. captain, June 5, 1838 ; brevet major, Oct. 4, 1842 ; major, June 30, 1843 ; brevet-lientenantoolonel, April 30, 1844 ; lieut.- col, June 20, 1854, and colonel on the same day. It is gratifying to be able to record that his only step of rank obtained by purchase was that oflie tenant from etaign, at the difference price of 2501. We find Gen. Havelock serving in the Burmese war in 1824, '25, and '26, as 'lieutenant and deputy assistant-adjutant -general, at the bead-quarters of Sir A. Campbell's army, and present at the capture of Kemundine, Mumaroot, and Melloon, and at the action of Pagham Wrew. We next find him with, the rank of captain, and then of b reve t- ma j or , serving with tbe army of Indus, and in Affghan istan in 1839,.1841, 1842, as aide-de-camp to Sir W. Cotton, as Persian interpreter to Gen. Elphin stone, and to Sir R Sale, and deputy -assistant adjutant-general in Sir . Pollock's force, bailie attached to'Sir John M'Caskill's division of that armjr; present at the storm and capture of Ghuznee, for which service he received the medal, and actively engaged in several actions iu forcing the passes between Cabool and Jeltalabad, and assisted the gallant Sale at the glorious defence Q 1 the latter place in 1841 and 1842. General Havelock commanded the right column in the attack on Mahommed Akbar's camp on the 7th of April, 1842, obtaining the medal—for this and his preceding distinguishel services he wa nominated a Companion of the Bath. He wa , , also present in the action of Tezeen, at the recap ture of Cabool, receiving the medal ; and was senior officer of Sir John M'Caskill's staff during the suc ceeding operations in the Kohistan, including the attack and capture of Istaliff. Gen. Havelock also served as Persian interpreter to Lord Gough at thr battle of Maharajpore, receiving the medal ; and also throughout the ,Sutlej campaign of 1845-6, including. the battles of Moodke3, Ferozeshati, and Sobraon, receiving the Medal and two clasps. That he took an active part itt those engagements is evidenced by the fact of his having had two horses shot under him at Moodkee, and another at the brilliant. action of &Arany. • Taking those services with the nine victorious actions in which General Havelock has commanded in chief into account, I think' it may be fairly presumed that be has pursued as brilliant a career i n the aiat.lve duties of military lift) as has fallen to' the lot of any officer in the army fox' the - last 33 years. I beg here to acknowledge that I derive my in formation from " Hart's Army List," a most valu able work, that ought to be read. by every one who feels an interest in the welfare of the British army. It is to the army what " O'Byrne's Naval Bio graphy" is to the navy, a record of professional services but excelling that work in this, that it is published quarterly, with promotions and appoint ments during the preceding three months, whereas the "Naval 'Biography" has only had one publica tion, and remains stationary. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. It is understood to bathe intention of the autho rities at the War-office to remove the 500 men now being raised in Sheffield to Chatham, as soon as the number is completed. It is not unlikely that the whole of the men will be draughted into the same corps, and the 98th is mentioned as the regiment, to which they will be attached. The number of recruits daily arriving at Chat . ham is c Arsiderably on the increaie, and since the recent order was issued from the Horse Guards up wards of 1,000 bare joined the Indian battalions at that gifrison: Additional recruiting parties have _ _ been sent out from the head-quarter — a of the Royal Engineers for the 4th, 10th, 11th; and 21st com panies of Sippers and Miners in India. It is ex pected that thtii reduction of the standard will in duce a large body of men to jnin the Royal Marine Light Infantry. The 76th Regiment arrived in Dublin on Tues day froui Nova Scotia. The frigate . Indefatigablo, 50, Fl ag o f R ear -Ad viral William Hope Johnstone, was reported off Plymouth yesterday morning from the South Ame rican station. The Royal Albert, screw steam-vessel, at Wool wich, has now received the whole of her stores and ammunition, and will immediately embark Major Gardener's D troop of Royal Horse Artillery. The Viscount Canning, transport vessel, is now receiv ing stores at the Royal Arsenal Pier, and will also embark a port;on of the artillery force now under orders for India. The following comprises the whole of the R )yal Artillery force remaining under orders for India :—Captain Dynely's J Field Bat tery, Gth battalion ; Captain Deaborough's No. 1 Field Battery, Ist battalion ; Major Singleton's V Field Battery, 9th battalion ; Captain Wright's company, 9th battalion ; Captain Bayly's company, 11th battalion ; Brevet-Major' Grant's company, 11th battalion ; and Major Gardener's D Troop of Royal Horse Artillery. The Edgar, 91; screw steam-vessel, now on the slip at Woolwich, is in a forward state, and will shortly he ready f or l aunc hi ng. She is a iine vessel, and many important improvements have been in troduced since she was laid down. The Spitfire, Ardent, Triton, and Lyra, eteam vessels, and the Growler, gunboat, have been or dered by the Lords of the Admiralty to be got ready ' at Woolwich for commission with all despatch. The screw steamship Austria, Capt. Heydtmann, from Cork, for the East Indies, which put into Plymouth Sound on Saturday, disembarked her troops, nearly 800 of the 94th Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Mills, at the Royal William Victualling-yard, Storehouse, on Tuesday after noon. The head-quarters of the grenadier corn- - pany are at the Plymouth citadel, but the other portions of the regiment occupy the barracks at Mill bay. At the monthly meeting of the Liverpool Town Council yesterday, there was some discumion with reference to the proposed erection by the Ordnance authorities of a battery on the site of the old ma gazines, Now Brighton. It was asserted that guns fired from that position would place the shipping in the Liverpool docks in continua danger, and the question wa4 ultimately referred to the Dock and Finance Committees, with the understinding that they were to represent the opinions of the Council to the Ordnance authorities. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Commander:—J. H. Chads, to the Persian ; W. H. Truscott, to the Heron. Lieutenants—R. EL Burton, to the Triton; F. C. Campbell, to the Spitfire. Second Master—James B. Haines, to the Hastings. Assistant•Paymastere—Charles Ross, to the Corn wallis ; Andrgw Edwards, to the Wellington ; Thomas J. Woodward, to the Hawk. Clurks—Adolphus D'Albertangon, to the Wellington ; P. Ellis, to the Melarnpus ; G. W. Underhill, to the Conway ; Arthur 11. Gore, to the Hastings. THE MILITIA. By an order from the War-ollice, the Royal Berk s Regiment of Militia (with the exception of a depot company left under the command of Captain Mait land) was removed to Aldershot camp on Satur day last. Previous to their departure the men were addressed by Col. Blagrave. The Northumberland Artillery Regiment of Mi litia was inspecttd on Tuesday by Col. Douglas in Tynemouth garrison, previous to being disbanded, the term for drill expiring to-day. The men were exercised in battalion drill, the use of field guns, and ball practice, and their appearance in the field was highly respectable. The Durham Artillery Regiment of Militia is as sembled at present in Sunderland barracks for the usual drill. The men are making creditable pro gress. - The Regiment of Oxfordshire Militia, which arrived at Woolwich last night, will perform garri son duty, in consequence of the reduction of the Royal Artillery, resulting from the large force or dered to India. The following regiments of militia will be imme diately embodied for garrison duty .—Bedford, 2d Royal Cheshire, 2d (South) Devon, 2d Gloucester, Leicester, Northampton, Shropshire, Ist West Nor folk, let Surrey, Ist Staffordshire, Ist Tower Ham lets ' • Worcester, 2d West York, Sussex, Stirling, and Aberdeen. These regiments will form an ad dition of about 14,000 men to our home establish ment. About 3,000 of the Irish militia will also be embodied forthwith. POPULATION OF CANADA.—The population of Canada u r e n c i t k e o d n e p d r o a v t i n 2 c , s eB oo w , o a o s O b . a t I n 1 , 1 5 8 0 4 0 8, o t o h o e . o o rr p h u (3 - t wo -thirds added to the population of a country w i t h rate ir al ta 1 y° o n b f eo in tfa c t r ihr e :e a y se in less than 10 year! is most e ucouragi ng ; such variety of soil and climate, in that time, is, we believe, without precedent. The increase of the United States during the 10 years ending 1850 was 351 per cent. ; that of Upper Canada during the 10 years from 1841 to 1851, 1041 per cent. ; and now for the whc is province since 1848 it is 65 to 70 per cent., or neatly double the rate of increase of the United States. Toe third of a century is generally reckoned as a generation. During that period the population of Canada has in creased from 582,000 to 2,500,000, or more than twice doubled itself. At this rate the population of Canada doubles itself in rather less than 15 years, and if the ratio of increase be continued Canada will have, at the beginning of the neat century, 20,000,000 inhabitants. —Canadian News, 20 j all L 1 all St. 100 St. 100 20 all 10 all 12i 5 . 100 25 all 25 all St. 100 10' 1 10 1 St. 100 St. 'lOO 50 , all 25 all 100 all 25 t all 50 • 9 20 all St. 100 50 33 St. 100 St. 100 100 95 i i 8O i 54 'estn.

PORT TALBOT, OCT, 14.• A fearful collision of two passanger trans meet ing each other on this railway took place this day about noon between Pyle and Port. Talbot. One child was fearfully mangled and killed on the spot, and broken limbs are unfortunately very numerous. The accident, if gross negligence can be so called, happened under the following circumstances Tee 6.30 morning train from Cheltenham to Hord Haven had arrived iu due course at- Pyle, 1, small station next to Port Talbat, and was ab:ub 10 minutes after its time. On arriving here a rre. e .. sengeebrought the intelligence from westward that • truck in a goods train on the main line of rails—the Irish train proceeding to meet the Packet at Milforth—bad broken down and blocked up the line. . 'The messenger was accordingly sent back with instructions to return.as soon as the line was clear, this not being a telegraph station. Before he had returned, however, ano ther messenger arrived, and, having made a coin munication to the stationmaster at Pyle, the train. , eturned back along its own line (the down line) about a mile, to a crossing at a place o filled Stormy, where the Llynvi Valley Railway joins' the Sott't Wales. There the train crossed to the up Hite. Pyle was again passed, and the train had . proceeded about a mile further towards Port Talbot, when the up-train, which left Milford at 7.5, and was overdue, was observed approaching at its usual speed on the same line of rails round a curve. It was too late, however, to avoid a c sad the shock of the two engines was tremendous. Both engines, from their ponderosity, retsined their position on the rails, but the tender of the up-train was thrown back upon the first carriage, a Laird class, which it mounted, crushing in the roof and dreadfully mutilating the passengers. The tender of the down train also was crushed back in t) the first carriage of that train, frightfully maim ing its occupants. The scene of the catastrophe was frightful to look at, and to make it more fear ful the up express train now became due, and its arrival was looked for every moment. The wounded passengers were, with some delay, got out, and laid upon-the bank, and every assistance rendered theca that could be afforded under the circumstances. Unfortunately, however, there was no medical man in either of the trains, but ayoung student resident near was quickly on the spot, end rendered valu able assistance until the -arrival of surgeons from Port Talbot by a special engine in about an hour after the collision. One of the stokers was crushed in the wreck of the tender, and was with some eiffi cuity extricated. The line -was stet) wri'w th splin ters of wood, broken iron, &c., and blood was sprinkled over the ground in several places, render ing the spectacle (together with the groans of the injured) horrifying in the extreme: As far as we could learn in the confusion incident upon the-ac cident, the following is a list of the dead and seri ouslymj injured:— Robeit Palmer, driver of the up-train, broken leg and severe cuts on the head. J. S Lawson, fireman of the down-train, broken leg and other injuries. Mr. Ashman, pork-butcher, Cardiff, a ftigbtfully smashed leg, and other serious injuries about the head and face. It is feared his case will end fatally. The flow of blood was so great that, after forming a pool round him, it flowed away out at the door of the carriage in which he was placed for removal to the hospital. Mary Thomas, or Timmins, of Cardiff, broken leg and other injuries. John Prince, carpenter, Briptol, severe injuries on the back ; incapable of moving. Mr. Brewster, printer, of Swansea, 'compound fracture of the leg and other injuries. The passen cter bad taken au insurance ticket, which fact be carefully communicated to his fdlow-passengers in the _midst of his suff.rings. Mr. Thomas Williams, draper, Aberystwith, in ternal injuries. _ _ , Mr. Cecil, wife of Police-Sergeant Cecil, of Cwm Ammon, frightful injuries to the head. She was removed to Port Talbot, where._ hor husband•met her, and her case received prompt attention. Ann Harman, a young unmarried woman from Neath, internal injuries. Sarah Harman, - aged four years, a fino little girl, who was travelling with her aunt, the last-named sufferer, was killed on the spot, her body being fearfully mangled, and blackened by the coals from the tender. Sidwell, severe injuries about the head and- An aged woman, nanie unknown, internal injuries. There were also a great many other persons who had received cuts about the heads and legs and contusions on various parts of the body, and in. fact two-thirds of the passengers in the two trains were more or less injure I. The above, however, are the most serious cases. As soon as a pilut engine had arrived from Pore Talbot the wounded passengers, who had been lying on the embankment doze to the train, were carried into a goods van and a carriage, and conveyed to Port Talbot, and thence the most serious cases pro ceeded on to the Swansea Infirmary, where every attention was paid to them. Mr. Clarke, the general superintendent at Swan sea, immediately on hearing of the accident pro ceeded to the spot, and in the meantime all traffic between Port Talbot and Pyle was stopped. No doubt the mos t str i ct investigation will take place, and it is hoped that the person who ord ere d the down-tr a i n t o proceed on the up lino will be properly punished. INDIAN PRODUCE. The news from India establishes the hope that the area of disturbance so far as regards the com mercial products of the country will not be extended beyond its present limits. Au estimate may there fore be hazarded of the degree to which the supplies of the various artier-s will be afflicted. The lead ing exports from Calcutta to Great Britain, France, and North America consist of indigo, sugar, salt petre, silk, cotton, rice, hides, safflower, jute, mustardseed, cutch, and lac dye, and the ag regate value of these in the Indian market, reckoned at the present prices, may be taken at about 9,000,0001., the distribution being about 6,200,0001. to Great Britain, 1,100,000/. to France, and 1,700,0001. to the United States. Indigo, sugar, silk, saltpei re, and cotton are the most important, but rice, mustard, and linseed, jute, and safflower contribute cousider,bly to the amount. The qucs lion i 5, what is the proportion of the cultivation of each in the disaffected districts. Of sugar about one half the total quantity comes from the neighbour 11,‘01 of Benares, and the production will be propor tionably interfered with. Silk comes principally from the Lower Provinces, and will therefore not he much influenced. Saltpetre will suffer greatly. The only kind suitable for gunpowder is produced in Bengal, and of this two-thirds are obtained from the districts in revolt. Of cotton, also, about from one-third to a half is supposed to come from the same region. Indigo was already aff ec t e d by the occurrence of a short crop, and as from a quar ter to a third of the annual production is from the Upper Provinces, a failure of supply has been anti cipated, such as to act powerfully on an advancing market. At the last dates extreme. apprehensions were felt with respect to the stock of seed for next season, Lower Bengal being principally sown with seed produced in the disaffected districts. The pro duction of rice is a point that bears upon the native population more than upon the external commerce of the country. The quantity.shipped. from Cal cutta is not important—its value, perhaps, be ing 40:),000/., and, as its cost of transport is heavy, little would be likely to be brought to the port at a time like the present. The grand point of anxiety, however, concetning this staple must ba tstehieeete production seems t t ( r with respect to the crop available for c on sum pti on . around the scenes of insurrection, and f ears are entertained that in many localities f am i ne will have to be endured. Safflower and jute are cultivated only in Lower Bengal, and will therefore be safe. The cutch exported from Calcutta is not a native product, but comes from Pegu. Lac dye is not an important item as regards aggre gate value, but it is obtained principally from the disaffected parts. Hides also con stitute only a small item, and they are produced ge nerally throughout India. On the whole, th ere m de reachauscotni of sometio anticipate cent, thatp articles tnhe thex t total as e extent value to th interferedwe an amount whi c h wou l d b 3 about equal in hmayr)oi rlO or 2 O exports m Calcutta per fr o two most important instances —fine indigo and saltpetre —there are no competing countries h cou a n s tr o i c e c s u t r o re m d a w k h e ic u h p i t v h il e l deficiency, a r i se in price cause the pecuniary results to the Indian producer to be nearly the same as if the crops had reached an average. The only serious pressure, therefore, that India is likely to feel from the insurrection is that which may result from any destruction of the rice and wheat required for the food of the people, and there is cause to suppose that cases of this sore will be only local and limited.
