SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

GLOUCEST'EIt, UrnaDAT.

A frightful accident happened to the express
train from Milford to London this afternoon, at Lydney
station, about 19 miles from Gloucester. The train peens
Lydney at fall speed, and when dose to the station, and
running at the rate of fifty miles an hour, the engine, from
some cause at present unknown, got off the rails. The
coupling chains were broken by the violence of the shock,
land the engine ran along the permanent way for about 100
yards, and then turned almost completely upside down, on
the up-aide of the line, the tender turning over also, but
fortunately partly =sting on the engine. The driver and stoker
(Henry and Barrett) were underneath the engine and tender
and were afterwards rescued, though both were severely =-
,
jived, the stoker having received a scalp wound, and the
driver having one rib fractured besides being molded. i The
train consisted of three carriages—a second-class at each end
and a first-class between. The two first of then carriages
broke away in the opposite direction to that taken by the
engine, the first of them crossing the down line and striking
with great violence against the corner of the goods shed at
Lydney station ; so violent, indeed, was the collision that the
aide of the carriage was smashed in, end cue of the puma-
gers in the first compartment—believed, from a letter found
in his pocket, to be Mr. B. Bennett, tea merchant, of Market-
place, Bath—was thrown upon the line, his leg broken, and so
shockingly lacerated (having been cut by the carriage step)
that he died in less than so hour from the haemorrhage. In
the same *impartment was another man, who was wounded
in the hand. The flange of the wheel actually cut off part
of hie coat, and also made • hole in the leg of his trousers,
but he miraculously escaped without severe injury. Several
of the other passengers were more or leas bruised, aad one,
a female servant in the family of a gentleman named Baker,
of Bromsgrove, was cut about the head and fins, but no
bones were broken. The first-class carriage also got off the
line, but none of the peonage= were hurt, and the Hon.
Mr. Morgan, son of Lord Tredegar, who occupied a seat in
the carriage, stated, as our correspondent was informed,
that he scarcely felt the shock. The last carriage kept on
the fine, and ran past the other carriages and engine before
it came to • stand.

As soon as the catastrophe occurred intelligence was tele-
graphed toOloucester, and Mr. Ashbee, the superintendent,
instantly obtained the assistance of Mr. Barrett and Mr.
Clarke, surgeons, and left, Gloncenter for Lydney by special
train. Everything that humanity and medical drill could
devise was done for the relief of the sufferers, and the
driver and stoker having been conveyed to the hotel at
Lydney, Mr. Ashbos returned to Olonoester with the pas-
sengers. They arrived here at 5 o'clock, and were enabled
to continue their journey.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
MARK-LA/411.-(TRI8 DAY.)
The ripply of the past week was len stall than previously
el home grown wheat, per ship and rail. Flour not quite
so contracted. Barley, beans, peas, and tares short, very
few seeds of any description. Malt and oats, a fair quantity ;
• small supply of Scotch oats, and a few Irish. The foreign
arrivals of wheat were very slight, from Hamburg and
Prussia. A few barrels of American flour, a large cargo ot
barley from Constantinople, and a small supply of Danish
and Swedish oats. A cargo of beans, Mediterranean; aMk
East Indian linseed, but no seeds of any other description.
The wheat trade to-day is not quite so brisk as this day
week, but that day's prices are fully sustained, for both
English and foreign. The quantity of English fresh up is
very small, but condition improved.
Flour, • little doing in Anieriraa, without change in value.
Barley.—A good business at fully last week's rates.
Malt trade steady, and value looking upwards.
Alta.—A fair trade, and quite as dear for all good mini
ooro.

Bees and peas command full rates. Tara steady.
Sesda—Linseed and rapeseed about the same valve se
Monday last. Cloveniesd in better demand, is coesegaines
of the improvement in the weather, and prices fully sup-
ported. Trefoil, &c., better trade. Canary and mustard
rather slow. . . .
