FATAL MACHINERY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday after •
noon a man named Robert Bowriug, by trade what i
called a tuner, at Mr. B,ichardson's factory, Barnsley
was in the act of attempting to adjust a. roller strap
which had slipped off the drum without stopping the
engine. He was caught by the wheel while he was
doing this, and whirled round the machinery 40 or BO
times, during which his right arm and left log were bat-
tered off, and such was the force of the knacks that till(
poor man's limbs sustained, that the slates on the roo f
were broken through. The engine-man happened to bi
at hand and stopped the engine. The unfortunate ma: I
only survived the accident about three hours. Leed
crcury.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Oct. 20.—The most note-worthy event
or circumstance that has come to, my knowledge
for the last few days is the insertion of a piece of stale
news in the Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 14th
instant, and which I have thought important
enough to telegraph to you. The number of that
date contained a telegraphic despatch from Vienna,
of the 4th, as follows :
" A Commission, consisting of Commissioners of the
Western Powers, Austria, and Turkey, has come toge-
ther in Constantinople for the purpose of settling the
question of the Protectorate on the basis of propositions
made by the Cabinet of Vienna."
When we bear in mind that the telegraph can
forward from St. Petersburg to Berlin and Vienna
in less than one day, the veracious reports of Prince
Menschikoff's movements, and the total inactivity
of the enemy, we may reckon that this Constanti-
nople news did not take all the 10 days from the
4th to 14th to reach St. Petersburg from Vienna.
Its insertion at all in that journal, and still more

its insertion after such mature deliberation, will
intimate to the Russian public and the world in
general, that the Government of the Czar is desir-
ous of preparing the minds of his subjects for the
information, that Aut is is not on the whole act-
ing- exactly as the Emperor had reason to expect
from the faithful ally, who is indebted to him for
the empire he rules and the crown he wears.

CONFLAGRATION AT SEBASTOPOL.

The Press of Vienna, t,)f. the 17th, says :—" The
news of a great fire having taken place at Sebas-
topol is confirmed. The principal of the provision
stores has been burnt down, and a great portion
of the supplies which it contained has been de-
stroyed."

The following telegraphic despatches have been
received at Vienna :
' " VARNA, Oct. 7.—The French police organised
here has made several important arrests, the con-
sequence of the discovery of the correspondence of
Prince Menschikoff at the battle on the Alma. It
is generally reported here that the allies will make
an expedition to Georgia next spring."
A letter, dated the 7th, from the heights of Se-
bastopol, mat( a that at that date the army had
taken up its position before the place, and had been
for some days at the distance of 2,000 metres from
the town ; that the first parallel had been opened,
and that guns of large calibre continued to be
landed from the ships for the batteries.
On the 6th, a hatt,lion of the 19th Regiment of
the line (French) had been sent on a reconnaissance,
and an officer of engineers, Capt. Schmitt, brother
of the aide-de-camp of General _Furey, had been
killed by a cannon ball. A strong Russian division
was perceived on the 7th at three leagues' distance
from the allies. An affair was expected to take
place ; but it was considered that the divisions of
General Canrobert and Bosquet, charged more par-
ticularly with the duty of repelling an attack,
together with two English divisions, would suffice,
for the occasion. Nevertheless, the whole army
had been ordered to be ready fur any emergency.

LONDON, MONDAY, •CTOIDER 23, 1854,

FATE OF SIR J. FRANKLIN

Poor Sir Joni FRANKLIN ! The melancholy
fate of the intrepid navigator and his gallant
companions has at length been manifested. It
has been more horrible than had ever been anti-

cipated. The most gloomy apprehensions have
been verified. And what renders the fearful result
even more deplorable is, that we now know that a
large proportion of the party might have been
rescued had the authorities at home displayed
any degree of energy or activity. Our unfor-
tunate countrymen struggled hard for their lives.
During five dreary winters they sustained all the
accumulated horrors of the ice-bound prison. On
each succeeding spring the throb of hopeful anti-
cipation must have thrilled through their hearts,
in the expectation of the succour and comfort
they were never destined to receive. What stores
of important and interesting information might
we not have received if even a few of these
adventurous men had been restored to their
expectant friends. But, alas ! a more awful
and heart-rending catastrophe than any that
ever occurred under similar circumstances was
about to happen. One by one they perished by
the most fearful of all deaths. The strength
which they had endeavoured to sustain by the
dreadful expedient of eating the flesh of their dead
comrades gradually wasted away, and the last
survivor drooped, and died probably in the sum-
mer of 1850 !
The evidence by which this heart-rending nar-
rative has been established is so clear and dis-
tinct as to leave no possible doubt as to its accu-
racy. To Dr. RAE, the well-known and distin-
guished Arctic traveller, the honour of the
discovery is to be ascribed. He was not engaged
at the time in searching for our unfortunate
countrymen. He was occupied in completing the
survey of the coast of Boothia, where he casually
obtained the information that placed the vexata
qu-estio respecting the fate of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN
and his followers beyond the posasibility of doubt,
and was enabled to purchase different articles which
but too clearly identified the parties to whom they had
belonged. These heart-rending relics will be en-
dowed with a melancholy interest.
They are to
be delivered by the enterprising discoverer to the
Secretary of the Hudson's Bay Company, by
whom, doubtless, they will be restored to the
families of the departed heroes. Dr. Ilan, well
aware of the painful excitement amongst all classes
in this country for any information respecting Sir
JOHN FRANKLIN judiciously determined on com-
ing home with all possible dispatch, so as to pre-
vent any other valuable lives from being endan-
gered in the too tardy search after those long
since dead and ;one. He thinks it very probable
that he might have obtained many additional par-
ticulars, and other articles belonging to the ex-
hausted par ty.....everythin, indeed that remained

DEPARTURE OF BARON HESS.

A letter from Jassy, 9th, in the Moniteur,
says :—" Baron de Hess left yesterday for Austria,
escorted as far as the gates of this place by a squad-
ron of Moldavian cavalry. The general has, in
conjunction with the Government commission, de-
cided on the establishment of a line of electric
telegraph from Jassy to the Austrian frontier.
The Russian Govurninont has just officially re-
demanded from the old Hettnam Mavrocordato the
decorations which he had received from the Em-
peror Nicholas. This fact is attributed to the
friendly feelings which M. Mavrocordato ha• shown
towards the Ottoman authorities."

ples of oats and barley, were 6d to is dearer. The best oats
and prime malting barley fully supported the currencies of

THE TURKISH ARMY.

Letters from Schumla of the Bth state that 7,000
infantry with 28 field guns had passed through that
town for Varna, while 4,000 recruits from Adrianople
had also marched to reinforce the army-corps on the
Danube. Important draughts from the new levies
were also on their way to Schumla, where a corps of
reserve to consist of 20,000 men is forming. Froin
Schumla troops can be most conveniently directed
either o'n the Danube or to Varna, to join the belli-
gerents before Sebastopol, as need shall arise.
The troops composing the garrison there are &-
scribed as nobly emulous of a position, either in
the Crimea or with Omer Paella on the Danube,
but the first is preferred.

traordinary run of 63 days mean time.
The Lightning has brought 80 passengers, and
40,000 ounces of gold dust •on freight, besides a
large amount in the hands of passengers.
The steamer Great Britain arrived at Melbourne
on the 18th August, and was shortly afterwards
placed in quarantine.
The Lightning has brought answers to the letters
of June 13 per Great Britain, making a course of
post of only 132 days.
The clipper ship John Banks sailed from Mel-
bourne for London on the 15th August, with a large
amount of gold dust on freight.
The screw steamer, Lady Jocelyn, with the mails
of the 4th June, from Southampton, arrived at
Melbourne on the 12th August.
The clipper ship Ocean Chief, belonging to the
Black Ball line, had arrived at Melbourne, after a
splendid run of 74 days.

ralship, was also gazetted.
Sir Charles Hotham, the Lieutenant-Governor
of Victoria, was very popular with all classes.
The Melbourne commercial accounts were still
very unsatisfactory, the markets being glutted
with all kinds of goods. Gold was in good demand

metal during the seven days prior to the 20th had
amounted to nearly half a million sterling.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were but moderate. The de-
mand was active at an advance of from 53 to lOs per quar-
ter. Barley sold briskly at from is to 2s more money.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour were dearer, with an active
inquiry.
The new continental markets have been inactive, and
the quotationS have bad an upward tendency. The latest
advices from New York state that there was more doing
in wheat and flour, and that prices showed a tendency to
advance.
Very moderate supplies of English grain came to hand
last week, The imports from abroad amounted to only
6,065 quarters of wheat, 1,840 barley, 6,886 oats, 4,323
beans, 1,168 peas, 64 tares, 16,106 linseed, 1,431 rapeseed,
45 mustard seed, and 482 sundry seeds.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were but moderato, yet their general quality was
good. The stands were rather scantily supplied with
samples, as the whole of the supply changed hands on Fii-
day ; hence, as the country markets come very high, and
as the attendance of millers was large, the demand for all
descriptions was very brisk, at an advance in the prices
obtained on Monday last of from 8s to 103 per quarter.
For forward delivery, oven higher rates wore demanded by
the growers.
With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied.
As millers generally are short of stock, and as consumption
increasing, a very active business was transacte, at
froni 7s to lOs per quarter above the rates current ond this
day so'nnicrlit.
The few floating cargoes off the coast were held at very
high rates.
The show of both English and foreign barley was com-
paratively small, and the trade was brisk, at fully 2s per
quarter above last week's quotations.
There was more doing in malt, thO prices of which had
an upward tendency.
The oat trade was brisk, at a riso of quite is per quarter.
For beans we had an active inquiry at 2s per quarter
more money.
The sale for peas was active at an improvement of 2s
per quarter.
The flour trade was active and prices were on the ad
vance

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The above Court resumed its sittings this morning
before the Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor, die Right lion.
the Recorder, Alderme❑ Hunter, Sir C. Marshall, and
Kennedy, Mr. Sheriff Cronley, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge,
Mr. -Under-sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-sheriff Ferrer,
eta., Sce.

There are 109 prisoners for trial.
The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury, con-
gratulated them upon the fact, that the calendar for the
present session did not contain a single charge of mur-
der, and that, with a few exceptions, the cases were of
the ordinary description, and not likely to present any
legal difficultiee in the consideration of them. There
was one case of manslaughter, in which a woman was
charged with killing a child ; and it appeared that, in a
transport of jealousy, she had made a violent blow at a
woman who had the child in her arms, but missed her and
struck the child, and the blow caused its death. Under
these circumstances, the prisoner was guilty of au illegal
act in striking at the woman—and such was the conse-
quence. If the facts were made out to their satisfaction,
it would be their duty to find a bill for a manslaughter.
There was another case, of a very painful and pecu-
liar character, where a gentleman of station and family,
and a clergyman of the Church of England, was
charged with shooting at a very valuable member
of the bar of that Court, and upon the floor of
the Court, and in the presence of those who were
now addressing them. Ile believed the only ques-
tioa that could arise was as to the state of mind of the
unfortunate gentleman at the time the act was com-
mitted, but with that the grand jury had nothing ,to de,
and the only course they could take was to find the kill.
There was also a charge against a Roman Catholic
clergyman, a gentleman of position and education, of
having infringed the provisions of the I)issentera' Mar-
riages Act, which required tkat no marriage of that
character should take place except in the presence of the
registrar and in the chapel. In the case in question it
was alleged that the marriage was solemnised in the
vestry, and that the registrar was not present, and if
these facts were reads out it would be their duty to re-
turn a true bill. lie lordship concluded by referring to
the charge of sending diseased meat for sale to the Lon-
don market, and he rentarked that although there might
be sonic doubt as to the intent of the parties in the pre-
sent instance, yet as the question involved was one of
considerable importance to the public, he thought it
would be better that they should find a bill in order
that the tnatter might be fully inquired into.
The grand jury then retired.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Oct. 20.—The most note-worthy event
or circumstance that has come to my knowledge
for the last few days is the insertion of a piece of stale
news in the Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 14th
instant, and which I have thought imprtant
enough to telegraph to you. The number of that
date contained a telegraphic despatch from Vienna,
of the 4th, as follows :
" A Commission, consisting of Commissioners of the
Western Powers, Austria, arid Turkey, has come Loge
thcr in Constantivople for the purpose of settling tile
question of the Protectorate on the basis of propositions
made by the Cabinet of Vienna."

When we bear in mind that the telegraph can
forward from St. Petersburg to Berlin and Vienna
in less than one day, the veracious reports of Prince
Menschikoff's.movements, and the total inactivity
of the enemy, we may reckon that this Constanti-
nople news did not take all the 10 days from the
4th to 14th to reach St. Petersburg from Vienna.
Its insertion at all in that journal, and still more
its insertion after such mature deliberation, will
intimate to the Russian public and the world in
general, that the Government of the Czar is desir-
ous of preparing the minds of his subjects for the
'nformation, that Aul is is not on. the whole act-
iug exactly as the Emperor had reason to expect
from the faithful ally, who is indebted to him for
the empire he rules and the crown he wears.
