The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day

dull at Monday's decline in the quotations.
There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly at
Monday's currency.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about
previous rates.

The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. For all
descriptions the trade was quiet on same terms.

Malt changed kande to a moderate extent, at about pre-
vious rates,

Oats, the supply of which was tolerably large, met a
slow sale, at late prices.
Beans and peas were in limited supply, and both articles

ACCIDENT AT THE LUDGATE-lIILL VIADUCT.—
Yesterday considerab:e sensation was created in
the neighbourhood of Ludgate-hill, in consequence of a most
frightful accident, which it is feared will terminate with
loss of life. The workmen were raising an enormous iron
girder, sixty-sight feet in length, and weighing fourteen
tons. When about twelve feet high, the chain of the
crab by which it was being hoisted snapped in three
places, and fell with a great crash, the workmen flying
in all directions. One man, named Jones, jumped ofi into
the road from the top of the girder. The centre lodged on
some thick piles of timber at the bass of the derrick. The
ere they
other end rested on the kerb, on the south side, where the

and Sergeant Trim, of the City police, with a body of con•
stables, rescued James Peach, aged 50 years, with a frac..

first thought that life was extinct. A medical
creature those gentlemen found an incised wound on the
top of the heal. The skull was also fractured at the
point of the wound. There were also two other contused
wounds on the head, evidently inflicted with some blunt
instrument. There was also a wound on the right arm,
and one a little larger on the left arm, showing that the
instrument employed had been used several times and with
great force upon the person of the unfortunate woman.
The wounds on the head having been dressed and proper
stimulants administered, the poor creature became some-
what conscious, and gave to the medical men and Inspector
Allen the following particulars cf the affair :—About half-
past 4 o'clock in the afternoon her husband came to her and
asked for some money, which she refused to give him,
when he took up a chopper which was in the room, and
struck her on the head, knocking her down and rendering
her insensible. The husband was at once taken into ca
tody, and was charged at the Clerkenwell Police Cour
yesterday morning, with feloniously cutting and woundil!
his wife, Ann Rolani, by striking her on the head wit
an axe, whereby her life was in danger. lie w
