above the level of the road. It was at tbis point that the

Wednesday evening a train of 13 trucks, and • guard's van
arrived at Britton station at 10 o'cicok, and the pointeman
Sachems signalled "all ht" The train going down the
incline was going at era speed—more than, 40 miles an
hour, it is said—and it dashed past the signaL The bet in-
timation of mythical wrong was the sounding. of the break-
s/blab% by the driver, and the train was precipitated down
to the road. As is the etre at goods sheds, there is • riding
et Bruton which extends :from the shed to within a few
yards of the bridge. In the goods stied was a truck of flour.
The ballast train struck this, propelled it along the siding,
and threw it clear acmes the rood to the opposite embank-
ment, where it Lim upturned and broken into mere splinters.
The engine forced the siding end before it, demolished the
parapet of the bridge, and precipitated itzelf against the
wall on the opposite side. The train fell upon it the tut-
last-tracks followed to the number of niaa,. till the road
was literally filled up to the height of the bridge walls end
the remaining four trucks were thus prevented from sharing
the destruction which betel the reit of the train. The
unusual and molt alarming wands soon drew the
townspeople to the spot. In a few minutes John Allan,
ens of the guards, emerged from the ruins. Fortunately
Mr. Stockwell, surgeon, wee soon at head, and he found
that the poor fellow, who had a woe Len leg, was not very
seriously hurt. From bin: it was ascertained that be and
his fellow guard rode in the carriage next the engine, ens
that seven other patrons wore in the break van. The other
guard was found on the left-hand side of the debris, sad he
too, strange to say, escaped with very slight injuries,though
be was more severely hurt than Allen. The brake van was
dragged into the abyss, owing to the literal blocking lapel is
by the fore part of the ballast train.
Radford Bartlett, the stoker, was found with his band
still on the brake whistle, which he bed sounded just before
be was hurled into eternity.
The body of the eegine-driver was after some labour ex-
tricated from the debris, and proanteda frightful spectacle.
The engine-driver's some is Alfred White. Both were
married men, and young ; one Dad bean married only six
months. The guards are progreseleg favourably. The
pointaman, Andrews, has beau taken into custody.

May is less by 981,882/ than it was in the
I corresponding month of last year, but more by
1,910,4691. than in May, 1863. Fur the first
five 'months of the present year the exports, it
will be seen, are 3,167,4841. less than in the
same period of last year, but as compared
with 1863 there is an increase of 10,168,906/
For the falling off which is shown in the value of
our exports, by comparison with last year, various
causes may be assigned, one being the decline
which has taken place in the prices of a number
of the principal articles, and another being the un-
certain position of the trade with India. As re-
gards the month of May, a considerable portion of
the decline has occurred in cotton manufactures,

At the end of the half year the government
balances accumulate rapidly in the Bank. The
addition to the "public deposits" this week is as
much as 906,6911. Owing, however, to the very
active demand for money, which has caused an in-
crease of no less than 1,285,7301. in the private
securities, the reserve presents a decrease of
308,6341. The moveweut in the coin and bullion
is still favourable, the increase for the week being
2,7561.
