COMMIRCIAL AND MARKETS.

ItARK-LANE.-(1131.8 DAY.)
Fresh tap to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were again very moderate, but in fair avenge
condition. For both red and white parcels the trade was
very firm, and Monday's advance was fully realised.
There was a good show of foreign wheat on the stands.
The demand was chiefly in retail, but all qualities ODINI.•
mended quite late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and in
some instances wheat was rather dearer.
The supply of barley was moderate. The trade was
firm at the recent improvement in prices.
Malt was quiet. on former terms.
With foreign oats the market was well supplied, but
scantily with English produce. Fine parcels were firmly
held; inferior sorts, however, barely realised their pre-
vious value.
The few parcels of beans on the stands were mostly. ;dia.
posed of, at late rates.
. . . .

Per met a slow sale, at previous quotation,.
Flour was very firm, on former terms.
Linseed and r'peseed were steady in v.due, but agri-
cultural seeds were quiet. Cakes were held at fully late
currencies.

ALPINE ACCIDENTE.—" Who repeats in tones of
sorrow the name of friend or relative that has perished
among the solitudes of the Higher Alps ? The Jungfrm'a
apothem snows, the crested summit of the Wetterhorn,
Monte Rosa's craggy peaks, are all guiltless of the tea-
veller's blood. These and many other lofty pinnacles of
Switzerland have welcomed the adventurous mountaineer,
and death or severe accident is unknown." Thus hardly
more than ten years ago wrote a true-hearted gentleman,
• skilled and dauntlesscragsman, whose early fate, and
not his only. stands out the saddest emphasis of contra,.
to his words. The Matterhorn catastrophe, in which he
perished with hi- demented companions, is far from stand-
ing alone on the black list which has accumulated since
them words were penned. At that thze six-and-thirty
years had softened down the recollection of the fatal acci-
dent to Haines party on Mont Blanc, and six-and-twenty
that of the loss of two Englishmen near the Col du Boa-
heroine in a tourmente. But only some three years more
had passed, when a aeries of fatal seasons commenced with
the less of Archdeacon Hardwick in descending from the
Pie de Sauvegarde, near the Porte de Venasque in the
Pyrenees, and of Si. Grotto on the Findelen Glacier near
Zermatt. These accidents occurred in DM. In the year
following we were again saddened by the fats) accident in
descending from the Col du Giant to Courmayeur, in
which throe young kkglishir.en and a guide perished : and
before the last notes of that mournful Intelligence had
quite died away we had to mourn the loss of Mr. Watson
in • crevasse on the Wisseher Ferner in the Tyrol. The
marvellous escape of Mr. Birkbsdc. jun., on the northern
glacier of Mb.= in 1861, after a slide from the Col to •
point • full third of a mile vertically lower, is well known.
In the same year a French lady, descending the Genimi on a
mule, was thrown over the edge of the precipice and
killed. Mr. Longrosn, jun., also had a narrow escape in
1862 on the Aletach Glacier, where he fell into a deep
crevasse. The same year Bennen and his friend Professor
Tyndall, aided by Sir Sohn Lubbock, rescued a porter from
a crevasse in the Aletsch Glacier, in which he had been
wedged fur more than an hour, entirely revered up by this
snow and icicles which he had carried with him in his
Then followed • year of respite from fatal accident. But
on the `.2.ith February, 1861, • traveller, with tho famous
guide Bennen and a porter, perished on the Haut de Cry
near Sion, in an avalanche, three of the party
The same year a porter was teat in a crevasse on moat
Blanc, and Profemor Tyndall and two friends, with the
guides Jenni and Walther, bad • narrow escape from
worse than bruises on the Morteratach Glacier. A still
more terrible moon, belongs to the two following seasons.
In the first, the death of Mrs. Arbuthnot by lightning of
the Schilthorn was followed by the catastrophe oa
the Matterhorn, and that timed immediately by
the loss of Mr. Knyvett Wilson on the Eiffel-
horn, while the lapse of another ten days saw a third fatal
accident on Monte Roes by an avalanche, from which, how-
ever, all the party escaped except one of the porters.
These three fatal occurrences took place within • fortnight
on ground which might be swept by a radius of leas than
five miles. But still three more deaths were due to that
year. In the following month Herr Hupner, of Dresden,
perished with his guide on the Titlis; and a student of
Erlangen found a grave in a crevasse, descending the Gross
Venediger Spitz. Last year was hardly less fatal. Besides
the two accident+ on Mont Blanc, which resulted in the
lose of five lives, three ladies, with the carriage and horse
which conveyed them, won precipitated into the Tamina
between Itsgatz and PfetTers, and there was at least one
other loss of life on the borders of the Lake Lucerne. This
is a fearful array of casualties for only eight seasons, nor
can it be regarded as absolutely complete. But if we sat
it down that about twenty-two travellers and eleven guides
or porters bare perished in Alpine expeditions in the last
sight years, we shall not be far from the truth.—Qwerterly
