cattle marts, was held, but by magisterial orders an

horses and loose droves of unbroken cartcoltsfromiVeybill
borne show. The demand was brisk for high-class h
and prices of handsome cart horses ranged from 45 to 00
guineas, and secondary ditto, 1$ to 30 guineas ; promising
cart colts, 25 to 41 guineas ; hones for private carriage
purpose' 55 to 70 guineas; saddle horses and riding

SERIOUS .I.IX:IDENT ON THE LA NrAMHIRE AND
IKE RAIL% AV.—A Pingular and serious accident
occurred on the Lamashire and Yorkshire Railway, at
Wornersley, near Doncaster, on Saturday. An experi-
ment was being tried upon the locomotive engine of •
passenger train with a new smoke consumer. This,
which was inflated with gas, unexpectedly exploded, and
Mr. Potter, who was in charge of it, and his assistant,
were blown off the engine and dreadfully injured.
The locomotive was also damaged, and the steam
from it severely scalded the driver and the fir
who valiantly remained at their posts until they
secured, as far as posible, the safety of the engine. Fortu-
nately, a coal train came up from the contrary direction,
and took charge of the disabled engine and paseenger
train, and the injured men were removed as soon as
assistance could be obtained. Mr. Potter's injuries are so
ceecre that he lies in a precarious condition, and his
assistant died on Saturday evening. The fireman and
driver, thouh much scalded, are expected to recover.
A MAN BURIED ALIVE.—On Saturday afternoon
last, between '2 and 3 o'clock. an accident of an alarming
nature, resulting in the death of one Man and tke narrow
escape of many other persons, occurred in the Commercial-
road. Peckham. It appears that for some time past she
road has been stopped for traffic in consequence of the ma-
st uction of • new sewer. The deceased, David Baxter,
aged 38 years, had been working in the sewer all day, ands
Lirge hole had been dug for the purpose of connecting one
of the houses with the new sewer. The deceased at the time
of the accident was down this hole, and was in the act at
shoring it up, when the earth made a slip and covered him.
Anii.tance was speedily obtained, and a rope put round his
body and under his arms, and there seemed everychance of
saving the poor man's life. Those who were endeavouring
to save him had nut, however, long commenced operations
when • second slip of earth occurred, and the man was
completely buried, the hole, which was IN feet in depth,
being now nearly filled. 'Mr. Fraser, the inspector of
police at Peckham, with a number of constables, having
been informed of the accident, and the serious conse-
quences likely to ensue owing to the large crowd which
bad then assembled, and the dangerous condition of the
ground upon which the crowd was standing, at once pro-
ceeded to the spot. They hail not been there more than •
few minutes when the roadway again commenced falling
in, many of the bystanders falling with it, when the polies
rushed forward, and were only ;oat in time to rescue then,
for had they fallen in there was little probability of their
being got out alive. Mr. Pearson, the contractor, fell in, and
was covered to his neck with earth, but was fortunately
rescued. The roadway was then cleared, and • number of
men commenced to dig ont the mirth from the hole in
which the deceased man had •
been burled. After • lags*
of about two hours and a half it was cleared, and the body
recovered, whence it was conveyed to his own house in
Victoria-place, Peckham, there to await the coroner's in-
quest. The deceased has left a wife, whose confinement
was then hourly expected, and to whom, it appears the
accident was made no secret, and one child, to lamen't his
untimely end.
Mrs. John T. Hanson, niece of Oliver Goldsmith,
died on Friday, the 21st September, at her residence, We*
Hoboken, New Jersey, in the 81st year of her age. Soso
time ago the old lady was in very reduced eircumstasisa,
but public attention was celled to her condition is Or
columns of the press, and a fund was raised anikient
to
maMtain her in some degree of comfort up to her deptese.
