THE ALARHING RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN

IRELAND.

The Baßinagloo correspondent of the Fr , •
Journal, writing on Saturday, o'clock p.m., says--A roost
melancholy and fatal railway accident occurred within snout
two miles of this town this evening. As the I o'clock p.rn„
train on the Midland Great Western Railway from I
to Galway reached the bog of Clams, a third-elasa earrings
in immediate connexion with the engine got off the tit:is and
was propelled down the 'embankment, throwing the ti is lee
off the rails, and breaking the coupling between Ilse teLik,
and the train. The engine ran a considerable distal., in
advance of the train. The carriages following propelled the
first carriage with so much force that it ran down the eta.
bankment into the adjoining field, dragging the other
after it, and overturning the first and second
carriages, which were completely shattered to pes" ;
the other carriage' were drawn from one 1.!..!0 to
the other, blocking up the lice. The ociiiirri-n...
was at once communicated by signals to the station
All the medical men of the town, the catholic
Viscount 1)aolo, and John M. Hatchet!, R.)1., and Patti,
Sweeney. 8.1, were 110011 at the scene, and rendered a‘•
sietance in their power. The up-train from Gale.", t.
riving a few minutes after the accident occurred, wa.
immediately stopped by signal from proceeding ,row,-1.,
ay this zed occurrence two lives have been 1., ‘i!.
George Glanville, of this town, a contractor in the
line, and a Mr. Thomas Henry, a mason from Like,.
Mr. Glanville has lived here for the last twely.•
thirteen years, highly respected by all partnii,
leaves a wife and large family to deplore his unexpei tel
death. Six other passengers, who were mostly Lai yea
men, suffered severe injuries, am; are now lying at ti,,
Railway Hotel under medical treatment. One poor joisig
man, named John Hynes, who was returning from England
after reaping the harvest, had hie thigh broken, .it.l
pronounced to be in a very precarious state. The other try
sustained such severe injuries that they could L•t in
safety be removed from the Railway Hotel, where bale were
prepare,' for them, and everything that medical skill at.l
foresight could suggest was done to alleviate their stofer•
logs. The medical men, after attending on thORR WE, were
severely injured, dressed the wounds of other parties wnr,
had sustained slight contusions ; upward, of thirty were
removed to the hotels in the town, where every attenti.a
is being paid to them. A telegram having been sent by ,tar
station master to Athlone, Mr. Murphy, the district Lit :•
way superintendent, shortly afterwards arrived by sio?, ial
train, and made arrangements suitable to the circuinataicen,
Nothing could exceed the consternation into which th town

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADFORD. Ocr. :11.—The
improvement which we noticed last week has not been
sustained to-day. Notwithstanding the improved tone of
the Liverpool cotton market and the rise io price, out
market to-day is flatter than it has been for some time past.
In neither wool, yarns, nor pieces has there been any
demand. Holders of wool are exceedingly hopeful, and
maintain prices with tenacity. The transactions in worsted
yarns are confined to a few sales is 36% twofold. The bmi.
sees doing in pieces is quite exceptional and limited to a
few sales in broad cloths and fancy goods. Hr. J. Buckley
Sharp held a sale of colonial wool this afternoon at his sale
room in Well-street. There w■s a large attendance of
spinners and clothiers, and the bidding win spirited. The
current quotations were well maintained. More thin I
hundred bales of colonial wool, besides sundry other lots,
were sold.

CATTLE.—Lrreurool., °c-r. 31.—The supply of cattle
was much larger than on het Monday, of sheep &heat the
same. A very good demand without much change in the
price of good cattle ; all other kinds cheerer. Sheep slow,
and rather lower.
