TIC GAMBLING TBADB.

With regard to the gambling in the tallow
market, Mews. Smith and Charles have issued
the following circular. It is good that the ques-
tions at issue should be discussed freely from the
various points of view, in order that the public may
be enabled to form an accurate idea of the position
of the tallow trade. Assuming that 25,000 or 90,000
casks of tallow are held over in Russia by the capi-
talists—speculators, the question remains, what will
be the course of the market when they attempt to
sell (u they must do at some time), especially bear-
ing in mind the check to the consumption of Russian
tallow resulting from the present high price P Upon
this point the statistics cited by us yesterday are
instructive.

Two more letters to-day in thepublio journala attesithe fm-
of the present position of 'hap in in the tallow market.
Ve=er sot before noticed the various letters which have
=ton the subject of this tallow speculation, nor
es now, but really there is so much ridiculous mei-
imatality about these documents that we cannot forbear
one or two roman on the subject. It cannot have
the notice of our Mende that everyone of these
ham has emanated from parties who are angry with inr-
preen sad speculators ix keeping prices beyond that valise,
which, In their wisdom, thee. writers think is the true
value of the article. We suppose we most set say that these
writers have an interest in so writhe. But we may say
that they and their productions have in a great meatus con-
tributed to the results that they are now deprecatiag. It
seems that a large number of persons had sold In Petersburg
very large quantities of tallow for delivery in August which
they hut not got to deliver and similarly for deli in
October and December hers. Others, thinking better the
article, have bought both In Peeersburg and here, they
present their money in payment of the article; the peeks
who have sold what they have not got have to buy It at a
greatly advanced price, and bus money weetudiagly in
August In Petersburg, and then write to the noes end
other joornsle, and complain of these "shameless" proceed-
ing.. Then, again, they ay—well, now that the August
account in Petersburg Is over, surely prices hire moat
decline, for there e a peat deal too much tallow, and these
"gambler." meat sell. The holders, on the other hand,
say—you have been saying this same thing for these three
mouths, and we think there may be a good dint in what you
say. You hays been showing us, Rout= holders, how much
too much of the article there 1., sad we are therefore deter-
mined not to allow each a Good of tallow to break in on the
London market, sad to meet your own ideas we shall keep
over in Petersburg for better times 26,000 or 30,000
maks. Now, that Is simply the upshot of all this letter-
writing. The CCOMOIST will have to pay a high
price this year. 1. &CCM the capitalists have fir
some months thought that the prim of the article ie below its
I value, and have therefore bought and held firmly ; and
secondly, became thee Mews have been of late rather shaken
try the alums limed (particularly in public journals) by
those who, fres Unthaws the most philanthropic motives,
have been warningtheat sot to overstock the market, and
they therefore lama to hold back part of their rake through
the winter. To-day the market has been steady. The demand
from the trade very good ; speculatively not much doing. We

ANOTHER COBDEN AND BitiGHT AGITATION.—

THREE MEN KILLED AT A STONE QUARRY.—
An inquest we. held on Saturday, et Adlingtoe, Cheshire,
before W. Latham, Req., on the bodies of Thome. Mammy,
Thomas Wilkinama, and Charles Aloe, who were killed on
the previous day, by falling from a scaffolding used for hoist-
ing stones, at the Stypenton Sense Quarry, Adlington. Over
the quarry are erected two seta of upright beams, each
having bearam extending crosswise, sad running parallel to
each other. The harks:eta beam. support an iron tram-
way, slang which moves a "crab," consisting of a four-
wheeled waggon, on which stones are raised by mean. of a
windlaes. At the time of the reddest, the deceased men
and three rebate, named George Spencer (the foreman),
limos Ratcliffe, and Peter Wilde, were engaged hoisting a
Large block of stone, eight or nine tons weight, when, sud-
denly, one of the horizontal beams snapped wader, and
the ponderous " crab," together with four of the men, were
precipitated to the bottom of the carry. The three 'lnfer-
tenets men who bete lost their lives all appear to have
fallen on their beads on the sharp•anglrd stones, which
were bespattered with blood and potties, of human flesh.
They were killed on the spot, their bodice being frightfully
mutilated. The foreman appears to have fallen on the
body of one of the other men, a circumstance to which he
probably owes hi. survivieg the LB. He te, however,
dangerously wounded, and little hopes are entertained of
his being able to tom amputation of the right ann, an
operation which in considered inevitable—A verdict of
" Accidental death" wee retained.

THE FATAL COLLISION ON ITIE GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAT.—YfIineTdO7 the investigation Into the recent fatal
collision on the Greet Western Railway, by which Thomas
Tacker, the guard of a goods train, wee killed. end • large
smoont of property destroyed on the morning of the 14th
last., was resumed before Yr. George A. Cleerslay. A great
desl of evidence having been given, Gene Tibbe, the driver
of the " special," having been cautioned in the usual way,
mid he had twee an engine-driver twenty-two years, and
bed never previously caused an accident with any engine be
had had charge of. Recollected the morning of this nafortu-
ewe occurrence. Went to work the trate from Didcot to
Orford on the previous afternoon, and afterwards took the
imolai train from Birmingham up to London. Before
leaving Reading the porter told him there was
a goods train forty-seven minutes in advance,
which by that time ought to hove been at Si. ugh
station. Wham kept • look out on the off side, and
his fireman on the near side. Never saw any red lights at
either of the stations till reaching Slough, sad those were the
tail lights of the goods train. The moment be saw them ha
teversed his engine and blew the break whietle, and did all
he could to pill up, and bat for the night being wet believed
be should have dose so without touching the goods train.
Was not travelling at therm spud, which was about a mile
a minu.e, but at about 35 mile* an hour, before the accident.
The goods troth was about three.quartera of • coils in ad-
vance when be saw the tell light*. Would swear there were
only white-lights on at Teplow station, and that no lamp was
waved to his face there or at any other statics. Red the
danger signals been up he must have teen them. Still con-
tinual to drive for the company. The jury, alter being lot ked
up about two boar, returned the fulloaing medic, : • That
In ooesequeace of the conflicting evidence respeeting the
signal lights, we are unable M record any other verdict then
that of homicide by mlsadvenlure, end we think the guard to
blame for Carting the train three minutes before hie time
without the authority of a proper person at Reeding."
SUICIDE AT DOTE,. STATlON.—Yesterday a shock-
ing suicide was perpetrated by a gentleman, nacos unknown,
at the Dover elation of the Bonth-Beaters Railway, Shortly
