lONEY MARKET AND COMMEROTAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were unaltered. The sales amouuted to 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was flat, and values were still declining. At the Indigo sales held yesterday 707 chests were sold, 230 bought in and 801 withdrawn.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 The dry-leaf Madras was chiefly withdrawn. In two days 1,391 chests have been sold, 753 bought in, 1,381 withdrawn, 3,525 passed, 7,988 remain, and 11,513 are declared.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 Back necessarily creates 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 in 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 as our merchants and manufacturers are con cerned. The difficulty found in procuring accom modation will also place many weak firms not en gaged in 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 are supposed to be heavy. The half-yearly preeting of the Recife and San Francisco Pernambuco Railway Company was held to-day—R. Benson, Esq., in the chair. The chair maul introduced the report, which briefly states that the works were proceeding, and the line expected to be opened by the 2d Dec -mber, 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 sum alre a dy expen d e d on the works, 342,0001. The Directors of the Bank of England were not long in consultation this afternoon, and they hare 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 feeling pervading all depart la:lents 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 subsided. Mean while, however,- there is a sensible diminution of speculative enterpise, the operators preferring to await the receipt of further advices from Ame grica and India before committing themselves to any reat extent. Two failures have been announced, but upon the whole the settlement has passed off with less embarrassment than might have been ex- Noted, considering the nature of the recent opera tions 9 and the numer ous c h anges i n values. Con sols for money have been 88 to 88k, 87k, 88a, and 88k. For the 10th prox. they were 88f The present quotations are 88 to 881, and 88g 4 re spectively. The New 3 per Cents. are 87 to 87g, and the Reduced 86 to 874. Exchequer Bills are firm at 9s. to 4s. discount. The Bonds are 98, and India Bonds 295, discount. In the Foreign Market also the quotations are firmer, but business continues dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 874 to 88, and the 4 per Cents. are steady. Some of the other securities are as follows :—Chilian 6 per Cents. are 102 ; Mexican 3 per Cents. 19k # ; Peruvian 3 per Cents. 54 ; Spanish Now Deferred 25} ; and Peruvian dollar bonds 54k.

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 hav e i nspected them. Seven d ays h ave now elapsed si nce t h e remains were f oun d , an d not the slightest clue of any kind has been dis covered by which the guilty parties can be &mod, and we fear from the manner in which the investi gation is proceeding that it will turn out a failure. We are inclined to believe that the fault does not rest :0 much with the police who have the case in hand as those under whose direction they act. To show the loose manner in which the case is being investigated, we have only to remark that the police up to the time (.f the inquest were under the im pression that the clothes 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 ono sock and the necktie, a circumstanee at the time that greatly puzzled the anthori ice, but after some days had passes] over, the articles were brought to them by one of the boys, he having found them in the boat —shoving clearly that the search by the police had not been of that minute and careful character which the circumstances of the case imperatively called for. But probably the most inerplicable portion of the mystery is the doubt that still rests in the minds of the authorities relative to the sex to which the remains belong, the manner in which they have been mutilated, the period whoa 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 as the cuts in them would load to believe. The day following the commence mencenaent of the inquiry before the coroner, a gentleman of eminence in the profession of anatomy spent a considerable time in examining the bones, Arc., with Mr. Painter, and the result of his exa mination, we are informed, went to corroborate all the opinions expresstd by Mr. Painter before the coroner, but for some reason best known to the police, the name of the g,entlealati 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 understand 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 awl how the . remains were p l aced on the b u tt ress. I t 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 r emembering Mr. Painter's evidence as to the conformation of thepelvis, that the bones are portions of two human beings instead of one. We fear the public mind will not be relieved fro n 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 appe ise the public mind, and in all probability tend to the furtherance of the ends of justice. The authorities at Bow-street police-station, are pilot-ant 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 are now being hung on a lino across the yard at the back of the station for hotter exam:nation, to which the public have free access. Throughout the day thousands of persons, consisting of men, women, and children, gratified their morbid curiosity by a minute inspection and examination of them. . _ MYSTI?RIOU.? .DEATII IN THE REGENTS OA NA L.-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-budge, Green-street, Bethnal green, under very wysterious and suspicious circumstAnces. It appears that a young man named George Goathy, a labourer, was et ending on the bank of the Regent'stpanal immediately at the rear of the Queen's Arms public house) when he suddenly saw a human body ri se t o t h e surface of the water in front of him. He ra i se d an alarm and called seve ral men to his assistance, when the body was got on to the towing path. The body presented a shocking spectacle, there being two large incised ,ho body,leidlyee been evidentlya deceased e dinw as the e ot water tewyr res u lt at wounds in the ne c k, f rom which blood was issaing, and there were a l so several contusions on the face and lence. The ha n d s were much bruised, and the body had )ouotf twodays. The considerable vio charge of the b o d y , while another ran for Mr. R. Meldola, the surgeon, of G reen stree t who attended with promptitud e , and ordered the body to be , 11 , r o m o s l: where a police constable edoifn theto the ic Queen'sdivisi)l took stripped, which was accordi ngly aren tly 30 years of done when it was found to be that of a man, app age, 5 feet 10 inche s i n h eight, light ha i r, an d f a i r complexion. There were two cuts, about an i nc h i n dep.h, in the front o f th e throat, inflicted before death, and the gen era l result of th e examination was, that the dec-aced had come by his de iih by some foul and unfair means. The marks ou the face are similar to these which might be caused in fighting. When the body was t a k e n out of the water, he was without coat and waistcoat ; his shirt sleeves were tucked up, an d cer t a in parts bore marks of blood. The d eceased ' s clot hi ng on ly con sisted of a pair of cordur o y t rousers, a blue striped shirt, a black neckerchief, an d lace - up b o ots with brass eyelet holes. The l a t ter art i c l es we re nearly new, and in the toe were hob-nails. The police searched the pockets and found a to bacco box, marked "J, p.," a c l a sp knife, and a quantity of handbills. Last night several active offi cer s of the K divi sion made inquiries in the neighbourhood of the can d, and ascertained from persons living near o the spot where the deceased was found that n the morning of Monday last, between one " and d two o'clock, they were aroused by cries of murder" l e r and " police," and, although several individuals eft their beds, they ware unable to learn the cause of the outcry, or make any discovery. The spot where the body was found is a very dark and lonely place, badly lighted, and danger ous for foot passengers after midnight.. The police of the district forwarded a full ae scription of the deceased throughout the whole of the metropolis, but lite last night the body had not boen identified. The body was placed in a shed at th e b ac k o f t h e Queen's Arms, where the inquest will take place this afternoon before Mr. William Baker, the coroner. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —(This Day.)

This bankrupt carried on business at Brompton-green, and to-day came up for his certificate. Mr. Citidley appeared for the asBigneee, who cot.• 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 cleft?, as the bankrupt had been very diligent in assisting the assignees, and, althongh the bankruptcy bad only taken place about three months since, the whole of the assetts had been got in and were suffictent to pay Be. or 114. in the pound. The bank rupee failure arose from his endeavour's 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 800/, which he had lost, but whoa he 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 assignees, therefore, considered it a very meritorious case. His Honour said he could not go farther than grant. ing the certificate of theseoond class. He could not say it was a CA9B of unavoidable loss, or he would hate fel pleasure in granting one of the first class. IN Itß INCE. This bankrupt was described as a surgeon, Scc., in :al on-place, Pitnlico, The . case had been adjourned for the ba , krupt to answer certain requisitions, and the assignees wore satisfied. Mr. Lawrence urged that the bankrupt ought now to he allowed to pass, although ho was still opposed by Mr. Thiglay for an individual creditor. His Honour *aid that when the trade assignees and the official assignees were sati4e6l, a very strong case must be made out by evidence to justify a further ad imrnment. Ta this case he considered the bankrupt ought to pass. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Henry Parker, a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with burgle riouely entering the house No. 16, Cranborrn-eourt, St. Martin's-lane, and stealing therefrom a quantity of t•sble•c'oths and other articles, the properly of Dionigio Sarnorino, restaurateur. Shandry, 203 C, deposed that about 8 o'clock this morning he was in St. Martin's-lane when be saw the prisoner and two other men, not in custody, loitering about in a very suspicious manner. lie watched them fix some time, when one of them went away. He fol lowed the two others down Caetle•street, whun he turned back and went up St. Martin's-lane. When he came back to St. Martin's-lane he 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 t xamined 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 hie coat. He asked him what he had there, and upon his replying in the negative, he thrust his band 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. He took him to the spot, but oou'd net find her. He then eximined the doors, and found the door 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 bad been forced open, and from comparing the marks dis covered that the large knife produced had been used for that purpose. 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 havicg applied for a remand, the pri soner was remanded for a week. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.

At the monthly meeting of the Liverpool Town Council yesterday, there was some discussion with reference to the proposed erection by the Ordnance authorities of a battery on the site of the old ma gazines, New Brighton. It was asserted that guns fired from that position would place the shipping in the Liverpool docks in continual danger, and the question was ultimately referred to the Dock and Finance Committees, with the understanding that they were to represent the opinions of the Council to the Ordnance authorities. 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 considerably on the increase, and since the recent order was issued from the Horse Guards up wards of 1,000 have joined the Indian battalions at that garrison. Additional recruiting parties have been sent out from the head-quarters of the Royal Engineers for the 4th, 10th, 11th, an d 21 st com panies of Sippers and Miners in India. It is ex pected that the reduction of the standard will in duce a large body of men to join the Royal Marine Light Infantry. The 76th Regiment arrived in Dublin on Tues day from Nova Scotia. The frigate Indefatigable , 50, Flag of R ear -Ad miral 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 portion of the artillery force now under orders for India. The following comprises the whole of the .11.1-41 Artillery force remaining under orders for India :—Captain Dynely'S J Field Bat tery, Gth battalion ; Captain Desberough's No. 1 Field Battery, Ist battalion ; Major Singleton's V Field 13attnry, 9th battalion ; Captain Wright's company, 9th battalion : Captain Bayly's company, 11th battalion ; Brevet-Major Grant's company, I.lth battalion ; and Major Gardener's D Troop of Royal Horse Artillery. The Edgar, 91, screw steam-vessel, now on the slip at Woolwich, is iu a forward state, and will shortly be ready for launching. She is a fine vessel, and many important improvements have been in troduced since she was laid down. The Spitfire, Ardent, Triton, and Lyra, steam 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. floydttnann; 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, Stonehousa, on Tuesday after noon. The head-quarters of the grenadier com pany are at the Plymouth citadel, but 'the other portions of the regiment occupy the barracks at Millbay. THE MILITIA. By au order from the War-office, the Royal Berks 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 Re g iment of Mi litia wag inspected on Tuesday by Col. Douglas in Tynemouth garrison, previous to being disbanded, the term for drill expiring to-day. The men wet e 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 or 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 .diity :—Bedford, 2d Royal Cheshire, 2d (South) Devon, 2d Gloucester, Leicester, Northampton, Shropshire, Ist West Nor folk, Ist Suriey, Ist Staffordshire, Ist Tower Ham lets; Worcester, 2d West Yolk, Sussex . , Stirling, and Aberdeen. These regiments will form an ad dition of about 14,000 then to our home establish ment. About 3,000 of the Irish militia will also be embodied forthwith. POPULATION OF CANADA.—The population of Canada may be fairly reckoned at 2,500,000. In 1848 the popu lation of the united provinces was but 1,500,000. The rate of increase in less than 10 years is most encouraging; two-thirds added to j.he population of a country with 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 waa 35i per cent. ; that of Upper Canada during the 10 years iron) 1841 to 1851, 1041 per cent. ; and now for the while province since 1848 it is 65 to 70 per cent., or nearly double the rate of increase of the United States. The 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 next century, 20,000,000 inhabitants. —Canadian News. Tins ERUPTION Or MOUNT VEsnvius.—A letter from Naples We have just bad one o f t h e finest possible to be seen . T owards e, f eruptions the 4th of says Vesuvius seven at night the crater appeared 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 dells Faraone, and in less than three hours it had run over all the distance that separates the crater from the Atrio del 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 hours. All the quays of Naplels were thronged with people admiring this beautiful eruption." BARON PORRIO.—A letter dated Naples, Oct, 3, says: " Amongst the news from the provinces I can also give you, some front the prison of Montesarchio. Baron Poerio had been very ill again in consequence of suffer ings induced by the dampness of his prison. He had been afflicted with sore throat and the usual pains in his back, on which he had blisters." MILITARY ANTECEDENTS OF SIR 11. HAVELOCK. I An Orderly-room Sergeant, in writing to a con- I temporary, says :—G-en. Havelock's first commis sion is dated July 20, 1815 ; his second, that of lieutenant, Oct. 24, 1821 ; captain, June 5, 1838 ; brevet major, Oct. 4, 1842 ; major, June 30, 1843 ; 1 brevet - lieutenant-colonel, Ap r il 30 , 1844 ; 2 col, June 2.), 1854, an d colonel ou the same day. It is gratifying to be able to record that his only step of rank obtained by purchase was that of lieu ' tenant from eraign, at the difference price of 2501. We find Gen. Havelock serving in the Burmese war in 1824, '25, and '26, as lieutenant and deputy 1 . assistant-adjutant-general, at the head-quarters of a Sir A. Campbell's army, and present at the capture of Kemundine, Muinarcof, and Melloon, and at the action of Pagham Wrew. We next find him with the rank of captain, and then of brevet-major, serving with the army of the Indus, and in Affghan istan in 1839, 1841, 1842, as aide-de-camp to Sir I W. Cotton, as Persian interpreter to Gen. Elphin stone, and to Sir R. Sale, and deputy-assistant adjutant-general in Sir . Pollock'a force, being attached to Sir John M'Caskill's division of that army ; 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 Jellalabad, and assipled the gallant Sale at the glorious defence of the latter place in 1841 and 1842. General Havelock comman led the right column in the attack on Mahommed Akbar's camp on the ith of April, 1842, obtaining the medal—for this and his preceding distinguished services he was nominated a Companion of the Bath. He was also present in the action of Tezeen, at the recap ture of Pabool, 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 the battle of Maharajpore, receiving the medal; and also throughout the Satlej campaign of 1845-6, including the battles of Moodke9, Ferozshah, and Sobraon, receiving the medal and two clasps. That he took an active part in 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 Sobraon. Taking those services with the nine victorous actions in which General Havelock has commanded in chief into account, I think it may be fairly presumed that he has pursued as brilliant a career in the active duti-s of military life as has fallen to the lot of any officer in the army for the last 33 years. I beg here to acknowledge that I derive my in formation from " Hart's Army List," a most vain 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, th a t it i s published quarterly, wish promotions and appoint ments during the preceding three months, whereas the "Navalßiograrihy" has only had one publica tion, and remains stationary.

A fearful collision of two passenger trains meet ing each other on this railway took place this day about noon between Pyle and Port Tell3lt. One child was fearfully mangled and killed on the spot, and broken limbs are unfortunately very numerous. The accident, if gross negligence can be CO ca ll e d , happened under the following circumstances The 6.30 morning train from Cheltenha m to Milford Haven had arrived in due course at 'Pyle, a small station next to Port Talbot, and was about 10 minutes after its time. On arriving hers a Ines- - seneer brought the intelligence from westward filet' a truck in a goods trim on the main line of rails—the Irish train proceeding to meet the packet at Milford—bad broken down and blocked up the line. The messenger wee 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 arrive:), aed, having made a com munication to the stationmaster at Pyle, .the train returned back along its own line (the down line) about a mile, to a crossing at a place o dled Stormy, where the Llynvi Valley .Railway joins the South Wales. There the train crossed to the up line. 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 aprroaching at its uses/ speed on the same lino of fails round ii curve. It was too late, however, to avoid a cAlision, mad the shock of the two engines was tremendous. Both engines, from their ponderosity, ret dried their position on the rails, but the tender of thd up-train was thrown back upon the first carriage, a third class, which it mounted, crushing in the roof and dreadfully mutilating the passengers. This tender of the down train also was crushed back in - to the first carriage of that train, frightfully maim- nag 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 them that could be afforded uuder the circumstances. Unfortunately, however, there was no medical man in eit herr& the trains, but aYoung student resident near was quickly on the spot, and rendered valu able assistance until the arrival of surgeons from Port Talbot by a special engine in about au hour after the collision. One of the stokers was crushed in the wreck of the tender, and was with some culty extricated. The line was strewn with 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 wo could learn in the conf us i on i nc id en t upon the ac cidens-, the following is a list of the dead and seri ously injured lfoloeit 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 frightfully smasht d leg, and other serious injuries about the Dead and face. It is feared his case will end fatally. '[he 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 Timtnina, of Cardiff, broken leg and other injuries. John Prince, carpenter, Bristol, severe, injuries on the back ; incapable of moving. Mr. Brewster, printer, of Swansea, compound fracture of the leg and other injuries. The paSsen ger had taken an insuiauca ticket, whieli - fact be carefully communicated to his fellow-passengers in the midst of Ilia . sufft-rings. Mr. Thomas Williams, draper, AberyS t with, iu• ternal injuries. Mr. Cecil, wife of Police-Sergeant Cecil, of Cwm Ammon, fiightful injuries to the head. She was removed to - Port Talbot, where her husband met her, and her case rec ived prompt attention: Ann Harman, a young unmarried woman from • Neath, internal injuries. Sarah Haxman, aged four years, a fine 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 atid ace. An aged. woman, name unknown, internal Lnjuries. 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 1. The above, however, are the most serious cases. 'As soon as a pilot engine had arrived from Poit Talbot the wounded passengers, who had been lying on the embankment close to the train, wore 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 . betw,2en Port Talbot and Pyle was stopped. No doubt the most strict investigation will take plice, and it is hoped that the person who ordered the down-train to proceed on the up line will be properly punished. _INDIAN PRODUCE. The news from India establishes the hope that 13 area of disturbance so far as regards the corn- , ercial products of the country will not be extended , eyond its present limits. Au estimate may there ire be hazarded of the degree to which theosupplias of the various articles will be affected. 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, c u t c h, an d l ac d ye, and the ag- J,regate value of these in the Indian market, reckoned at the present prices, may to taken at about 9,000,0001., the distribution being about 6,200,0001. to Great Britain, 1,100,0001. to France, and 1,700,0001. to the United States. Indigo, sugar, silk, saltpe. re, and cotton are the most important, but rice, mustard, and linseed, jute, and safflower contribute considerably to the amount-. The ques tion is, what is the proportion of the cultivation of each in the disaffected districts. Of sugar about ono half the total quantity comes from the neighbour hoo 1 of Benares, and the production wilt be proper tionablyin terfered with. Silk cornea principally from the Lower Provinces, and will therefore not be 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 affected 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 ,upcn the external c ou.merce of the country. The quantity shipped ftiom Cal cutta is not important—its value,. perhaps, be ing 400,0001., 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, concerning this staple must be with respect to the crop available for consumption around the scenes of insurrection, and fears are t entertained o b e endured. s in afil m o a l i v ly er lo a c i a i l d itle u steialnarien9cwulitlilv hate only in Lower Bengal, and will therefore be safe. The cutch exported from Calcutta is not a native product, but cornea from Pegu. Lac dye id not an important item as regards aggre gate value, but it is obtained principally from the disaffected parts. Hid es also con stitute only a small item, and th e y are produced g enerally throughout I n di a. 0 seems reason to anti c ip a t e that thenthe extwenhtolteo, the production o f some articles may b e interfered b 3 with may rea c h an amount which which wouldabo about equal to 10 or 20 per cent. upon the total valiie of the entire exports from Calcutta, • but as in the two most important instances—fine indigo and saltpotro —there are no competing countries to make up the deficiency, a rise in price has occurred which will 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 rico and wh e at requ i re d f or the food of the people, and there is ca use t o su pp ose that cases of this sorb will be only local and limited. Commercially it is Europe and America that will suffer, from being compelled to economise tho substances that must fall short. India will still take our gold, and will consequently be thoroughly in a condition to pay for the consequences of her own disturbances, al though among some persons there seems to be ac tual anxiety that an Imperial loan should be granted even before she asks it. So long as any amoun t could be raised in th e country such a tour I would the worstuldbeutterl impoli t i c , w hi le it would also es tablish possible precedent with regard to our other possessions.
