A serious accident happened yesterday to General
Lawrence. As he and his lady were going up the Champs
Elysees in their carriage, one Of the traces came undone,
and the splinter-bar struck against one of the horses' legs.
Both animals then becoming unmanageable, ran the car-
riage against a hackney coach, and upset it. The carriage
was shattered to pieces, and Mrs. Lawrence was thrown
out with such violence as to break her left arm. The Ge-
neral had his right leg injured. Both of them were imme-
diately taken to a friend's house in the Champs Elysees,
where they received every attention. One of the horses
was so much injured that it was found necessary to kill it.

THE CROPS AND STATE OF CANADA.—The season
now drawing to a close has been a profitable one for the
farmer. His barns have not only been filled, but the prices
he has obtained, and will obtain, during the coming Winter
make the year's farming operations in Canada of a very
satisfactory character. The season, it will be remembered,
commenced somewhat inauspiciously with droughts of the
severest kind, but the subsequent summer months have
more than compensated for the drawbacks of May and
June. Copious showers at a later period restored full vigour
to the grain crops and in a great measure also rescued the
grass, which at one time was regarded as an almost total
failure. The second crop of grass is more than an average,
and as there will be a plentiful supply of roots the cattle
will fare very well indeed during the coming winter. The
fall wheat is, we learn, a si,lendid crop—a fact which it is
anticipated will have considerable night with the farmers
in making them return to that description of crop for the
future. The fruit has also been of an unusually bountiful
character, so that in every respect the Canadian farmer has
great reason for rejoicing at the liberal re-vard which has
attended his labours of the past season. Canada, we hear
on all sides, was never more prospdrous than she is at the
present moment, as money is plentiful and at lower rates of
interest than it has been for the past ten ycara, and credit,
is unbounded,—Canadian News, Sept. 25.

PLYMOUTH, Sept. 25.—The Sussex, from London
for Melbourne, arrived here this evening to embark passen-
gers. She reports signalling in the Channel the Cairngorm,
from Sydney, June 18. She saw also to-day a ship stand-
ing up Channel resembling the Anglesey, due from Mel-
bourne, with 6,900 (?) oz. of gold.

IMPROVEMENTS AT HOLYROOD.—A new military
guard-room has been erected opposite the palace of Holy-
rood, with stabling and coach-house in the court• yard be-
hind. The plans for the new building were approved about
two years ago by the Prince Consort, and they have now
been carried to completion. The ground thus employed was
formerly the site of a brewery and other mean buildings,
which ill-befitted the neighbourhood of the palace. Hitherto
the only accommodation for the military guard has been an
apartment entering from the vestibule of the palace, and
for stable accommodation the horses and carriages of the
Royal equipage have had to be sent to a considerable dis-
tance. The central feature of the new buildings is a gate-
way of Scoto-Gothic character, flanked by two massive
towers projecting from the front, and surmounted by an
attic storey. The guard-rooms are entered from under
the archway, there being apartments provided for the
officers on duty in the attic storey. The buildings in the
court-yard within the gateway consist of stabling, with stalls
for 17 horses, and coach-house, with harness-rooms and
other accommodation. The Abbey Court-house, at the foot
of Canongate, has been renovated in keeping with the new
line of buildings, and the house which formerly occupied
the south corner has been refronted with battlemented cor-
nice and projecting tower, the whole forming a symmetri-
cal fagade cf 245 ft. directly opposite the palace. "It is
thought highly probable," says the _Edinburgh Courant,
" that after the marriage of the Prince of Wales his Royal
Highness will occasionally reside at Holyrood, and for
longer periods than her Majesty has been in the habit of
staying in the course of her journeys to and from Balmoral.
At all events, the preparations which have been going on
there indicate that the lamented death of the Prince Con-
sort will not deprive Holyrood of the stated visits of Royalty
with which it has been for some years honoured,"

from Mr. Druce. There was a fair demand at from £5 to
£l2 each. The number of horses on offer this day was
good, the heavy cart horses were a very good supply, the

During the last few days there has been a modes
rate amount of business transacted in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been
in some instances rather dearer, particularly as
regards refining descriptions. Tea, at public sale,
fully maintained previous prices. Coffee sold readily
at late quotations, while in rice, fruit, and spices
the transactions have been to an average extent at
about previous values. The Tallow Market has
continued dull, with a very limited inquiry for
home consumption, and quotations for both present
and forward delivery have shown a downward
tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is marked 488 3d to
48s 6d ; last three months, 48s 6d ; and spring de-
livery, 498 to 498 3d per cwt.
The report of the Cape Town Railway and Dock
Company has been issued to-day, in anticipation of
the half-yearly meeting, The directors state that,
in addition to the 21 miles opened on the 13th o!
February, 10 miles—as far as Stellenbosch—were
opened for public use on the 4th of May, and a
further portion of the line to Klapmuts, 9 miles in
length, was shortly expected to be opened. The
capital hitherto raised on construction account
amounts to £526,600, and there have also been
raised £20,000 on account of working expenses,
and of this capital £508,768 3s. 11d. have been ex-
pended on construction account, and £16,689 125.3 d.

£50,000 would be required to complete the line
from Ist of June, and in order to meet this outlay,
it is proposed to take authority to raise the sum of
£53,000 by debentures.
