SERIOUS RAILWAY AOCIDENT.—ORZAT Ds,
STRUCTIOR OF PROPERTY.—(THIS DAY.)

This morning, shortly before 6 o'clock, a Very
serious accident happened on the Bow &stamina of the
Blackwell Railway, which, is addition to °suing • greet
destruction of property and serious injury to the works
of the line, occasioned the complete stoppage eg
all the up trains on the North London, Barking, Tilb„.y,
Southend, North Woolwich, and Woodford Railways to P.p.
churchotreet. It appears that • heavy goods train from
the Camden-town station of the London and North-Wear,
ere Railway was on its way to the Hindu.
square goods depot, and had reached • point some 300 or
400 yards on the Bow aide of the bridge which passes our
the Regent's Canal, when • truck about the middle of the
train left the mends. The trein was then going at a speed
of some 2.5 miles an hour, and owing to the obstruction
offered by the train which had left the rails, most of the
waggons in the rear got off the Toed, and the couplings hold.
log firm the trucks were dragged along in the most dreadful
confusion. The line runs on arches, and as the upturned
trucks were canted along, they came with a fearful null
against the coping or wall of the line and carried
away • large portion of the brickwork. The engine
driver as soon u he felt the extra strain, or drag,
did all he could to bring the train to • stoppage,
but as the goods engines employed by the London and
North Western are of great power, some distance had
been traversed ere the trucks which had left the rails had
become deteched from the portion of the train in front. A
scene of the most indescribable confusion and wreck
then presented itself. Some of the trucks were toppled
over and crushed, and overhanging the parapet, and Sienna
and road beneath were strewed with the contents of the
waggons—cheese, flour, and other merchandise. The per-
manent way was torn up in sad havoc, and a heavy piece
of brick work at the Bow-common-bridge, where • line
of rails runs in, had been shivered by one of the trucks
which had dashed against it. In another part of the coping a
couple of truck wheels, with the axle entire, had been
forted through the brickwork of the wall and had fallen into
the road beneath. The coping up to the Regent:m..l%nel bridge
appears to have been torn away by the waggons as they
were hurled along, but the bridge does not seem to have
sustained any damage. Information of the mishap was
immediately communicated to the Bow works, and a large
number of the work•people proceeded to cleat
and repair the road, but it was some time ere that could
be done. Trains io and out of the City on the North
London and the before-mentioned railways were prevented
running, thereby occasioning the greatest inconvenience to
the large number of travellers who are occupied is
the City. In the course of the day the permanent
road was restored so as to admit of the passage of the
train, bat a large portion of the brickwork will
have to be entirely restored. Notwithstanding she fearful
character of the accident we could not learn that anyone
bad been seriously hurt. Had it been later in the day, when
numbers are pouring along the road beneath, some sad catas-
trophe mast have happened. The damage to the trucks,
goods, and line will involve • serious loos to the two com
peel's.

The Lord-Lieutenancy of Wilta (observes the
Saharry Journal) is now vacant by the demise of the
venerable Marquis of Lansdowne. It is rumoured that
the Marquis of Ailesbury is likely to succeed to the office.

Royal Institutiou on Friday, Mr. Weigher delivered a lec-

his recent aerial voyages with Mr. CoxwelFs balloon, wads

A CLUB SCANDAL AT PARDL —The Paris COr
respondent of the Indipersdance thus mien to a circum-
stance mentioned by our Paris correspondent :—" The
recommeodation of political reserve which was made
to-day to the journals wan accompanied by another re-
lative to a private fact, which ought to fall within the
domain of justice. It refers to a scandal amongst gamblers,
who accuse each other of cheating and robbery. The scene
occurred at the house of one of the celebrities of the Parisian
demi-monde, sod amongst the actors in it are mentioned, ea
the one aide, several personages well known at the clubs,
and on the other a renowned gambler, IL 3—, and the
director of a great artistic enterprise, U. C—. The two
latter, it is said, bad won a considerable sum, 180,000fe,
when the losers alleged that the game was not fair. IL
G. was searched, and as there were found upon him packets
of prepared cards, the players refused to allow the
winnings. It is even said that violence was used towards
the two over-ruccessful players. The latter assert that
much more was taken from them than they had gained, and
they are cot sparing of recriminations and accusations
against their adversaries. Their protests, however, do sot
seem to have had much weight ; for IL G— was
yesterday expelled two clubs, the • Carole des Amrikains,
and the ' Gavle 1mp(1.61,' of which he was a member.
It was the Duke de Moray in person who was

on Friday was the mother of the deceased, whose evidence

Sara Smith, sister of deceased, was next examined. She
stated that deceased refused to see Dr. Courtensiy on the
Monday previous to her death. assigning as a reason that be
had violated her person. "He did it on her." Witness re-
fused to repeat the exact words in which this charge was
made, but she wrote them down. Mr. Oltorke, for the
Crowe, objected to the answer, and said it was not evi-
dence, but be would not let Dr. Courtenay's solicitor seethe
document.. The answer was written again, and the purport
was that "he" had violated her person. She was not de-
Brous then, but much excited. The court then adjoined
till Wednesday next.

hour and went away as usual. I went to the defendant's rel.
deuce next day. I did not state to Mr. Johnson that Mr.

is very heavy, sod contains the names of 120 prisoners com-
mitted for trial. 'There were 113 charged with felony and
7 with misdemeanour. The state of education of the
prisoner was much of the average nature ; as usual a large
number of them being unable to read or write, and many
others only being able to do so very imperfectly.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

NOMITILIZS FROM FURNIBIIIO LODGINGS
Joke Browalow aad Edward Wax's, two young fellows
about 20 pain of age, were charged with stealing a large
quantity of articles from different lodging•houses in the dis-
trict of that court.

Although there were several pampas in court who bad
been robbed by the priemers, only two cases were token.
The facts in each case were similar. The prisoners went late
is the ensuing. and stating that they were brothers,
copied a lodging, and asked that they might be called at six
I. the morning ea they bad to go to wort. They also pre-
tended that they were short of massy, and that on the fol-
lowing day they would pay a weeks not is adomee. Is
each case they were called at the proper boar, and when the
landladies went upstairs to clear up the plane they found
that their beds had been stripped.
The primmer, pleaded guilty, and stated that they had
been compelled to commit the robberies through distress,
as they were oat of employ.

Joni>A Whitson, a rough-looking fellow, a coaternsooger,
of Kingsland, was charged by Mr. W. Love, the prosecut-
ing omen of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals with the following barbaroue treatment of a
donkey at the Cattle Market.

Two of the Royal Society's officers, saw the pri-
mmer in charge of • donkey, which be was galloping and
following and beating with a thick heavy cudgel about
its hocks and hind quarters in • brutal manlier. The
blows were given with such force that the animal could
scarcely keep upon its legs. The prisoner coutinued his
conduct for • considerable time, notwithstanding the na-
-1 monstrance, of the officers, and when at length the poor
brute became so exhausted as to be unable to go so fast as
1 the prisoner required of it, be commenced • savage attack
upon it by beating it unmercifully on all parts of its body.
The officers thereupon took him into custody.
The prisoner said he was merely showing off the donkey.
The magistrate said the prisoner was • cruel cowardly
fellow to punish an unresisting animal in such a brutal
manner simply for mere pastime and amusement, and doubt-
less the best punishment for such fellows would be to serve
them in the same way they did the brutes whose undertone
it was to be pissed ender their care. He inflicted • penalty
of It., or in default fourteen days hard labour in the House
of Correction. _

the evening of the 21st ultimo he received information that

Two o'CLoci.

The funds to-day are steady. Consols are
quoted for money slightly better than they closed
on Saturday. English railway stocks are firm,
with a favourable tendency, particularly as regards
South Eastern, which has attained a fresh rise of
1 per cent. Greek Bonds are in lees demand,
and continue to fluctuate, while Turkish are
strong. _ .

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at
70fr. 40c., and improved to 70fr. 50c., being 4 per
cent., higher than on Saturday.

ness report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols,

A large amount of business has been done this

projected will pan through the estate of the Nand

The half-yearly meeting of the South-Eastern

A general meeting of the Great Ship Company
will be held on the 27th inst., and the half-yearly
meeting of the Victoria Dook Company on the 26th.
A general meeting of the Thames and Mersey
Marine Insurance Company (Limited) will take place
on the 27th imt. _

The thirteenth annual meeting of the National
Freehold Land Society was held at the London
Tavern on Friday evening, Mr. C. Gilpin, KR, in
the chair. The statement of accounts for the pest
year showed an increase in the amount of business
done in every department. The deposits received
amount to 222,7111., being 54,8711. more than last
year, while the repayments are 1712611., exceeding
those for the corresponding period by 31,8841. • aqd
the members' capital on the 31at Oct. was 473,0311.,
being an increase of 59,8681. during the year. The
net pmtlt realised is 13,6791., as compared with
12,6141. at the end of the previous year. The re-
port and accounts were adopted.
It is notified that the share list of the ractav
Parisian (Limited) will be closed ,on Friday, the
13th inst.

Foos o'Cioce.
Consols are steady, at 94 to for money, and
92k, "sellers," for the account.
The discount market continues easy, and though
a fair demand is experienced, good bills can readily
be placed at 4i per cent. In exceptional instances
transactions have taken place at lower terms.
About 44,0001. in gold was purchased by the
Bank on Saturday.
The Parana will take for Brasil to-day 17,7001.
in specie (gold).
A new undertaking, formed with a highly respect-
able board, is announced under the title of the
Joint Stock Discount Company (Limited). It is
proposed to carry on business upon a plan similar
to that successfully pursued by the National
Discount Company, but the project comprises a
distinctive feature, inasmuch as it is intended to
convert an existing business of considerable mag-
nitude into a large joint-stock corporation. In
connexion with this arrangement, Mr. J. F. Wil-
kinson becomes managing director of the new com-
pany, which will thus be enabled to commence
operations without the slightest delay. It is
pointed out that the principle of carrying on dis-
count business by means of a joint-stock company
has now been fully proved. It is considered to be
a considerable advantage that several of the direc-
tors are already identified with the colonial banking
interest. The capital is 1,000,0001. (with power to
increase), in 40,000 shares of 251. each, on which
it is not intended to call up more than 51. per share.
The brokers are Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill.
Another new undertaking is the Natal Central
Railway Company (Limited). The object is to
make a central trunk railway, connecting Durban,
the port of Natal, with Pietermaritzburg, the
capital of the colony. It is promised that the
line shall be constructed on the cheapest principle
consistent with its efficiency. The railway will
traverse some of the principal sugar districts. The
natural resources of Natal are very great, and
both the colonists and the government are anxious
to obtain the advantages of railway communica-
tion. It is anticipated by the promoters that the
necessary guarantee from the colonial government
on the capital invested will be readily obtained.
The capital is 600,0001., in 30,000 shares of 201.
each, but the deposit is to be limited to 3s. per
share, and the project is not to be proceeded with
unless a 6 per cent. guarantee be obtained. The
direction is highly respectable.
The prospectus of the British and Colonial Brush
Company (Limited), is likewise in circulation, with
• proposed capital of 50,0001., in shares of 11. each.
The object is to carry out improvements in the
manufacture of brushes by machinery, by means
of which labour is to be saved and the coat re-
duced. The company is to take over the premises
and business of an old established manufacturer,
who takes shares in part payment. The direction
is composed of persons practically engaged in
business.

We are requested to mention that the under-
mentioned gentlemen have joined the direction of
the City Discount Company, viz.—Mr. Edward
Stern, merchant, of 38, Threadneedle-street, and
Mr. Patrick P. Gordon, of 33, Cornhill, chair-
man of the Eastern Bengal Tea Company. Messrs.
Johnstone, Cooper, Wintle, and Co., public ac-
countants, have also been appointed auditors.
The following memorandum relating to the
Turin, Savona, and Acqui Railway is from a well-
informed correspondent:
It is not, perh►ps, generally known that the opulent city
of Turin in interested in this railway, either in the
character of shareholder or through the subvention stipu-
lated with the "Societe Anooyme " formed fur its con-
struction, lothe extent of four millions of francs, or about
one-twelfth of the entire cost of the main line. 'Thal
municipal body hes recently decided on the construction
of extensive commercial entrepet and bonding warehouses
within the precincts of the city itself, and at its
own cost. It is now proposed that these establishment',
conoected with a line to Carm■goola, shall form the goods
terminus of the railway from Turin to the port of Savona,
on the Mediterranean. The ',hole work is to be com-
pleted within the period stipulated for the construction
of the main line, and of the branch to Aeon' ►nd
Alexandria. By the last-named branch the port of Serous
will be brought into direct communication with the central
and southern railways of Italy, many of which are already
in operation, and others in the course of oonetruction.
It is proposed that the entrepet at Turin, with
its connecting line to Caemag•ola, shall be oar-
structed by mains of a guarantee from the municipality
of Turin of -six per cent. and a sinking fund, the surplus
revenue to belong to the Turin and Savona Railway
Company. By these arrangements an uninterrupted com-
munication from the seaboard at Savona with Turin
and the northern network of railways will be obtained,
and in like manner with the southern and central lines by
MOWS of the branch from Cairo to Acqui. The line win
thus be extended to 190 kilornetree, and constructed in •
great measure by means of guaranteed bonds and anima-
Lions from the State, tte share and bond capital for the
main line being about one million and a bell
sterling. Irrespective of the gradients being iofinitely supe-
rior to those of the Genoa line, the traffic of which bee
so largely increased during the last few yams, the Tads
sad Savona hoe will show a clear saving of wetly
one-third of the mileage distsnoe over that of Geese.
It is understood that the Italian goveresseat h
disposed to =action • eocaiderable outlay on the pert of
Bayous, which pommies in the bay of Oedo tore a the
finest anchorages in the ➢(editerranean. The system of
docks proposed by Mr. Abernethy, eagineer to the
Turin and Bayin• Railway, coupled with all the advan-
tages aad facilities of situation preemea by the port of
Savor, raesot fail to render it the nowt both ol
sad foreign trade, and an entrepet for the COM!=r3
Northern and Central Italy, by means of the Turin and
Severna Railway.
It appears that the Natal Central Railway now

The Corsair has arrived from Whampoa with
a cargo of cotton.
The subjoined is from the monthly hide circular
of Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co., dated
the 7th inst. :
The Hide Market.—Prices bare been irregular in the
past month ; Isms business bas bees done. Hides :—slalted
Or and Cow—South Ameriami have been in fair request.
Australian have sot sold so freely, and prises are rather
easier. Cape hare brought fair prices. Salted bone bides
have been in good request. Fast India Kips.— At the anti
series of sales as active demand was expenenced, sod good
qualities advanced to Id. per lb., but at auction on the
29th nit. there was leu inquiry. English market hides have
fluctuated very slightly, but prises, taking quality into ems-
mideration show no material alteration. The leather mar-
let has beenl steady. and a fair amount of business has been
transacted, without any material alteration in value.
North and South Ameran Yuri and Skins—About 5,700
North American deer, in the hair, of the autumn sort, were
offered, and partly sold at fair average rates. The usual
annual sales of beaver and musquash skins went off with
much spirit. Tbe spring fur melee commence with that by
the Hudson's Bay Company, on the Bad March ; ears will
be bald on the 12111 and 13th of the Name mouth.

With reference to the forthcoming budget the
circular of Messrs. Joseph Travers and Sons re-
marks as follows :

Daring the last few days there has been some disposition
to enter into speculative trnoretiaosnpon oobjectures as to
the foithooming budget of the C or of the Exchequer,
—sugar, tea, and tobacco having been the pnncipal articles
selected. Concurrently with them operations • variety of
assertions Lave of oourse been circulated with all the pre-
tence of their being founded on actual knowledge ; but it is
certain no one person knows more than another on the sub-
ject, and that Mr. Gladstone will keep his own counsel
sufficiently to prevent the effect of his financial statement
from being weakened by its principal points having been
previously allowed to transpire, and to be acted upon in the
City. It is true that an intention to lower the income tax
seems to have been notified with some approach to autho-
rity, and Nut the reduction contemplated is supposed to be 3d.
in the rimed ; but this iotirnaticis was probably considered
oecesiary in order to propitiate public sentiment previously
to the opening of the session, and also during some of the
recent elections. Moreover, the income tax is a "abject
which has no connexion with trading speculations, and on
which consequently there is no seed for • Chancellor of
the Exchequer to be pinion's/1y cautious in dropping an
opinion. On all the other brandies of the budget it may
be safely assumed that secrecy will be pinioned, and that
the dealers who operate in anticipation will do ao upon
mere 000jecture. Naturally after the striking &muse:s-
ties of the protective shernoter of the misting sugar duties
furnished by the evidiseoe balms the recant committee,
them is • general impression that an alteration is the mods
of levying them duties is likely to be proposed, while, at
t►e Name time, some concession in thetas duty is anticipated
from the commercial as well as popular influences lately
brought to bear upon that crneistace. As regards tob•oso,
the expectations entertained are perhaps not so sanguine,
less certainty being felt in that ease as to the results that
would follow from a reduction, end the probabilities of the
future supply being rendered extremely vague by the war
ia America.
