tned, his signal light out at a quarter to nine
o'clock, and gone home, as his proper to time to leave
was half-past eight, and he did Lot think he would be
required any more ; though he must have known that
tnere was at least one train then due, which was above
an hour and a half behind its time—the 5.30 train
from Liverpool. Of course there was neither caution
light nor caution-signal to warn the driver of the train
from Southport.
It was at eleven o'clock that he was questioned, and
shocking to relate, at about midnight his wife found
that he had hung himself with his handkerchief n
his peintsman's hut, within a couple of hundred yards
of the place where the collision occurred, and tb
he was quite dead. He has left a widow and five
children; he has been in the employ of the compacanny
for several years, and was a steady man. What
haveded to his extraordinary conduct cannot now be
ascertained, beyond the doubtful statement he wade
to the persons who called him to account.

IPSWICH, 4.lurG. 24.
We had a small market to day ; good old wheats
fetched late prices, and the sales were made at last weeke
's
rates. Several samples cf new were offered, but th
quality is so inferior and light in weight that none would
buy them; the conditit,n too was bud. A few samples of
new barlay also appeared, some stained and some
kg quality; 288 and 30s were offered, but refused.

the exception of the evenings of Tue,day and Wedoes°
day last, when we had very hear' rain, the Weather bold
been more favourable for harvest-operations, and s goo
deal of progress has been made in this district. Thera
are rather more complaints about sprout than the pre'
vious week, and there is no doubt the quality of the lieff
wheat will be various. There are more complaints as to
potato disease than last week. During the week a goo
deal of business has taken place in wheats to buyers
be from a distance, chiefly in strong red foreign and cbsor
red English of last year's growth. We do notAnote
samnya'laldvanco in price: the stock in grasary is now in a
compass. We had a small attendance of fanners
at market to-day—harvest op' .atious engaging
tention. Our 'millers were free buyers of fresh wheats
at the full prices of last Tuesday, but indisposed to girl
any advance, and the market rather quiet. Sever!
