FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a
earful character, and unfortunately attended with loss of
life, occurred on Saturday upon the South Western
Railway, within a short distance of the Staines station.
The 8.50 express train left the Datchett station at the
usual hour, and arrived in seven or eight minutes within
sight of the Staines platform, when the engine driver,
as he emerged with his train through the curve there,
perceived a man leading a horse attached to a loaded
cart over one of the " occupation roads" near the sta-
tion. Seeing the danger tp which the man with his ani-
mal and vehicle were exposed, the driver of the engine
sounded the whistle and at the same time beckoned to
the guards to apply the breaks, in order, if possible, to
stop the train. The guards immediately did as they
were requested, but unfortunately they were unable to
stop the momentum of the train in time to prevent a
collision, and the consequence was the buffers of the en-
gine struck the man and horse sideways almost siraulta •
neously, sending both upon the metal rails, at the same
time cutting the shafts from the cart. The
latter fell out of the reach of the carriages, but the
engine passed over both man and beast, and cut
both of them terribly. The engineer, as soon
as possible, succeeded in bringing up the train to a
srand still, but not until it had proceeded some consi-
derable distance down the line, when the driver imme-
diately descended to ascertain the extent of the mischief.
It was found that the poor man (who it is stated was
upwards of 60 years old, and partially deaf) was fright-
fully mutilated, and quite dead. The horse was also
nearly cut in two. Fortunately the vehicle had fallen in
such a position as not in any way to cause the least
obstruction on the rails, and neither the engine nor any
of the carriages were forced off the line. There seems
to be not the least blame attributable to the engine-driver,
or to any one of the company's servants, for the train
arived at its proper time, and the poor fellow who has
met such an untimely death was in the daily habit of
crossing the line, and ought to have been aware of the
danger of crossing at that moment.
GRAND RE VIEW AND bIEGIE OPERATIONS AT
CRATRAM.—On Thursday evening 100 men of all ranks
of the Royal Sappers and Miners from Woolwich,
landed at the Sun-pier, Chatham, and were received by
the brass band of the corps, which played them to the
barracks at Brompton. This additional strength is for
the purpose of assisting in the preparations making for a
siege, which is to come off on Saturday. the 30th of this
month. The works in progress are upon a grand scale,
the approaches for the cover of troops and batteries ex-
tend over some acres of ground, and the number of troops
to be engaged will be about 3,000. Besides the troops
of the garrison, the enrolled pensioners will take part in
the field operptions. The mining and cuunterminitig are
progressing rapidly, as the whole strength of the Royal
Sappers and Miners, consisting of 6CO men, are work-
ing by reliefs daily. The troops which will take part
in the attack and defence of the citadel will be the Royal
Artillery, the 17th regiment of Foot, the battalion cf
Royal Marines, the provisional bill lion, the Royal
Sappers and miners, and those of the Hon. East India
Company, together with the cavalry from Maidstone,
and it is rumoured that a battalion of Guards will take
part in the movement of the sley. To witness this
grand military display, his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert will be present, also the Marquis of Anelesay,
Master. General of the Ordnance; Major-General Sir
John Burgoyne, Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell,
and other members of the Government, as well' as the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and a number
of general officers, and the directors of the East India
Company. His Royal Highness will breakfast with
Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, R.H. and the officers of
the Royal Eugineers, and every preparation is being
made to receive the distinguished visitors. The siege
operations will extend from the River Med's ay along the
whole line of the fortifications to the termination of the
battery facing the town of Chatham.
CHOLERA.—We are requested to state that the
remedies recommended by the General Board of Health
in the cases of premonitory diarrhoea are the following,
namely, for an adult, 20 grains of opiate confection,
mixed with two table- spoonsful of peppermint water, or
with a little weak braniy and water, and repeated every
three or four hours, or oftener if the attack is severe,
until the looseness of the bowels is stopped; or tor ounce
of the compound chalk mixture, with 10 or 15 grain:3_of

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 16.—The imports since Tuesday have
been trifling. At our Corn-exchange yesterday wheat and
American flour were in steady request for consumption, and
the better qualities of both realised an advance of Id. per
bushel and 6d per barrel. In sack flour no change occurred.
Oats and oatmeal were quiet, without variation in value.
There was a good demand for barley, beans, and peas, and
prices were fully supported. Indian corn met a fair sale at a
decline of 6d per quarter on yellow, but in white there was no
alteration. To-day prices Ere steady, and not much doing; a
little Indian corn has been sold at Gd per quarter over yester-
day's rates.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 16.—During the week a rather im-
proved demand for flour has been experienced, and although no
actual advance in prices could be obtained, approved marks of
fresh English manufacture have sold pretty freely at fully the
previous currency. Oatmeal continued to move off steadily
in retail quantities, without material change in value. With
the exception of a fair supply of foreign wheat, the arriva's
from all sources at Liverpool and Runcorn are again very
light. At our market this morning the best descriptions of
wheat were held for slightly enhanced rates, and prime quali-
ties of fresh-made flour being in good demand likewise cora•
manded an amendment of 6d per sack. Oats were a slow sale,
and the turn lower, whilst oatmeal was in moderate request at
previous prices.

sells freely at former prices. Store lots are also taken more
freely at 91 15s to 10/ 5s per ton. Foreign a slow sale at

23s Oct to 24s Od per barrel. Barley, of which the supply is
limited, se:ls at late prices. Oats—Fresh in are scarce and
wanted. Store lots or ex ship sell at 71 per ton. Oatmeal is
in fair demand at the quotations of last week. Indian Corn---
Yellow has been a slow sale all the week at 8110 s to 8115 s per
ton, whilst, at the sr me rates, white is in good demand.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 14,—T0-day we
had a very small supply of cattle, which were snore easily dis-
posed of at fully last week's prices. Best ox beef 50s to Ms
per cwt ; second 45s to 485 per ditto ; cows, bulls, and inferior,
38s to 44s per ditto, sinking the ffal. All sold. We had an
ordinary supply ofsheep, which brought last week's prisms.
Best aged wethers in wool 60 per lb, clipped sheep 5d to bid
per ditto, sinking the offal. Lambs were more numerous ; any-
thing good commanclekfairpriees, small and bad were not easily
disposed of, and a few of them turned out unsold. Lambs
brought from 9s to 19s c_head, according to quality. The
numbers were—oxen, 596 ; sheep, 675; lambs, 1,048.
CORK, JUNE 15.—We have to report some arrivals of In-
dian corn, which, coupled with the fact that the article is
drooping at the other side, have had the effect of producing a
depression in trade, which must be noted dull at a decline of
fully 2s 6d;to 5s per ton.- The receipts of home grain continue
miserably small, those of wheat in the week' amounting only
to 37 barrels. Several parcels both of prepared Irish and
Foreign have changed hands at prices varying little from
those of last week. Inferior wheat, principally Egyptian,
which is selling at a low figure, is in demand, and interferes
with the sale of Indian corn. In oats we have had nothing
doing, but prices are nominally the same. We have a mo-
derate consumptive demand for flour, stocks of which, both
in factors' and bakers' hands are very small. The absence,
however, of all speculative inquiry renders the market dull.
Coarse ours sell readily. The trade in Indian corn during
the week has been dull and restricted at a decline of fully
2s 60 to 53 per ton from the pric 1 of last week. We quote
its value 8/ 6s up to 15, per ton, the latter figure being
scarcoly obtained. Indian meal, the sale of which is interfered
ith by flour made from low quality wheat,is very little looked for

Private letters from Rio de Janeiro have been re-
ceived to the 26th of April. Little had occurred in po-
litics calling for notice. Business in imports remained
limited, principally from the absence 'of arrivals, but se.
verJl vessels were at the bar, known to have on board
over-abundant supplies. Trade with California was on
the increase. Shipping for produce was becoming
scarcer, and freights exhibited an upward tendency.
The rate of exchange was flit at 2511 The Crane
packet was to leave abaut the beginning of May. The
supply of coffee was limited, and it was anticipated that
the crop would undoubtedly prove short. Local stock,
