CORN EXCHANGE.

This wea's return of Wheat and Flour is good ; of Barley
and Oats small. The very favourable state of the weather
causes the trade for every article to continue dull. Wheat has
In2t few purchasers, and Monday's terms are hardly supported.
Barley, Beans, and Pease remain as last stated. Oats maintain
the rates of Monday, with little doing in the trade. Flour
meets a very heavy sale this week.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The wind continuing easterly, we are again without any
arrivals this morning of consequence, which causes a very
great dearth of information.

Both the Consol and Foreign Markets were heavy during
yesterday, but without any cause for their decline, as no
quantity of stock was thrown on the market.

MAIL-COACH ACCIDENT.—As the Glasgow mail,
via Appleby, was on its way to town on Friday night, it met
with an accident at Kirhythore, which happily, and almost
miraculously, was attended with no fatal results. The bridge
at Kirbythore is extremely narrow, there being scarcely room
for a horse to pass by a coach while crossing. This bridge
has been long complained of. When the mail arrived at the
bridge on Friday night, one of the leaders very slightly
swerved ; the coachman attempted to draw up, but it was too
late, the wheels grated against the low parapet of the bridge,
and in an instant the coach (full inside and out) went right
over into the river, dragging the horses after it. The night
was very dark, and there were two women and two children
among those outside. One of the women scrambled out of
her own accord—the other was assisted out by a fellow.pas-
senger, and the children were also saved—one by the mother,
and the other by the same gentleman who had assisted the
woman. Fortunately, in consequence of the late heavy
rains, there was a depth of about two-and-a-half feet of
water in the river where the coach fell, and every one, in con-
sequence, escaped without the slightest hurt, except the
coachman and guard. The former received a very ugly,
though not dangerous, cut in the bead, and the guard com-
plained much of a hurt in his leg. This, however, did not
prevent his riding to Appleby, six miles and a half, with the
mail-bags, from whence he got a gig to Brough. He was
doomed, however, to prove the truth of the adage, that mis-
fortunes never come singly, for before reaching Bruugh one
of the wheels of the rig came off, and he once more fell to
the ground. We believe, however, that he again escaped
without serious damage. The leader that caused the accident
broke its back in the fall, and was soon after killed, in order
to put it out of pain. The near wheeler was drowned. The
other horses were, after some difficulty, got safely to land. It
is a circumstance not a little strange, that four of the northern
mails should have been upset on that same luckless Friday
night.

A stockbroker, who died about two mouths ago,
had laid .a-,wager-on parole with a rich capitalist at Paris.
The latter male his appearance a few days since a t the resi-
dence of the widow, informed her that her late husband had
lost a bet of 16,000 francs, and asked her if she could rely
solely on her informant's assurance that the transanction had
taken place, and fulfil the engagement contracted by the de-
ceased? The widow, without hesitntion, produced a pocket-
book from her secretary, and proceeded to count bank notes
to the amount of 16,009 francs, when she was immediately in-
terrupted by the capitalist :--" Madame," said he, "as you give
such convincing proof that you consider the wager binding,
I have to pay you 16,000 francs. Here is the sum, for /am
the loser, and not your late husband. —Freeman's Journal.

The colliers at a large number of the pits in Ayr-

The North Wilts election has terminated. Poli-
tical apostacy has there, as in Westminster, for a season tri-
umphed. We will not be quick to cundamn the Wiltshire
electors. They may have been deceived and cajoled, as were
the men of Westminster ; but they will, when they know
their man, retrieve their honour, as did the electors of
Westminster. We will not spend our breath upon this
wretched political renegade, he has already received the wages
of sin—he is politically dead—he is beneath our anger—he
is only a subject for our commiseration and pity. 4. &qui_
