no change in prices. Rather more inquiry for wool, but
the rates are much the same as those of the preceding

Since our last report there has been less activity in this
market. Lamb especially has ruled dull, and prices almost
generally have bad a downward tendency. The supplies
on offer are tolerably good.

THE ACCIDENT AT THE AUST-PASSAGE FERRY, GLou-
CESTERSEHRIE.—An account has appeared in The Sum of
the accident to the Despatch, one of the Aust-passage
ferry boats, which, on nearing the Aust pier, struck
against a sunken post at the pier-head, filled, and went
down. Seven persons were drowned. Four of the
bodies have been recovered. An inquest was held
upon them on Thursday before Mr. Gaisfor(l, coroner
for the lower division of Gloucestershire. The per-
sons to whom the inquiry /elated were—Mr. Thomas
Stiff, aged 76, builder, of Dover; Mr. Kee:e, junior,
son of a farmer, of Littleton-on-Severn ; Mr. Jones,
a butcher, of the Narrow-plain, St. Philip and Jacob,
Bristol ; and W. Davies, a labourer of Littleton-on-
Severn. Some of the witnesses were of opinion that
proper caution had not been used by those who had
charge of the boat. Thomas Arman, the captain,
however, stated that when about 10 yards from the
shore he left his helm to let go the main sheet, and
then the wind and a strong tide caught her bow, and,
before he could get back to the helm slewod her
against the posts. He then reset the sail, and tried
to force her in towards land to save the passen-
gers, but a passenger
.opened the port to get wilt his
horse, and the water coming in through the hole made
the vessel dip, and the tide rushed in at the port, and
she filled directly. The jury returned a verdict of "Ac-
cidental death," expressing their opinion that the boat
was insufficiently manned, that there was not sufficient
caution exercised in nearing the pier, and that proper
beacons ought to be kept on the posts. The missing
bodies are those o Mr. Howe, butcher, of Bristol ; Mr.
!enduck, trier Aust • Mr. stiff jun of Littleton.
