E FRENCH CONSUL TO THE PRESIDENT OF

THE COUNCIL.

Perpignan, Sept. 12.—Barcelona, Sept. 9.

Espartcro has published a manifesto to commu-
nicate the terms of his obedience to the Queen's
orders. He exacts from her the revocation of the
Municipal Law, the dissolution of the Cortes, and
the dismissal of the Ministers.

The Municipalities of Tarragona, Rues, and
Areno del Ustar have just adhered to the insurrec-

All is quiet at Barcelona.

The Bayonne Phare of the 10th announces the
blowing up of the powder magazine of Alcaniz
(Lower Aragon). Whole streets are in ruins, and
the loss of lives exceeded 400.

The Sentinelle fears, from the violent language
of the Exaltado organs, that the French in Madrid
and Saragossa will be massacred.
FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS.

The Moniteur of Sunday officially announces
that the Government . had appointed Lieutenant-
General Dode de la Brunaire President of the Com-
mittee of Fortifications, and under his orders the
General of Engineers and Colonels of Engineers,
Dupon, d'Argremont, Norzet, to superintend the
works for fortifying Paris, to commence immediately
with the junction of the Ministers of 'War and Pub-
, lie Works.

The Paris papers of Sunday all approve of this
act of the Ministry as urgent and necessary from
the state of foreign affairs.

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH

MIDLAND RAILWAY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

We left Leeds by the morning train on the
North Midland Railway for Derby at a quarter
after eight o'clock, and travelled rather slowly until
we got within about 25 miles from Derby, when we
commenced a much faster rate, and were going about
30 miles an hour. When about thirteen or fourteen
miles from Derby, a most frightful accident took
place, from the axles of one of the carriages breaking.
The engineer, finding something wrong, stopped
his engine, and reversed instantaneously. The
consequence was, that the sudden check
caused a violent concussion, which threw
four of the carriages off the train. The
carriage next the engine was second class, and the
one that had the axles broken. There was a party
of passengers in it, and I think they all escaped
with trifling injury. The second carriage was also
second class, and was thrown off the rails, and
turned over almost upside down. In this car-
riage one passenger, a French gentleman, was
killed on the spot. Another gentleman, who had
come by the Newcastle evening coach to Leeds, was
carried off either killed or most severely injured ;
all the others in this carriage were very much
hurt, and the upper part of the carriage smashed
to pieces ; the third carriage was a first-class
one, of which I occupied the centre division, was
turned round, and partly laid over. A lady that
sat in the first division, was cut from the breaking
of the glasses. The fourth was also first-class, and
was forced quite off the rails, and laid completely
over on the parapet of a bridge. The guard
was riding outside of this carriage, and was
thrown from his seat over into the road
passing under the bridge—he was most dangerously
hurt. The fifth carriage was a third class one,
and very full of passengers ; it was taken off the
rails, but not upset. The passengers escaped with
some very severe bruises.
There were a considerable number of carriages
behind, that weio nut forced off the rails, and
all their passengers escqled unhurt, with the excep-
tion of a few slight bruises. The engine, which was
not at all damaged, was despatci,ed for assistance
to Derby, which came in about an hour, and we
were forwarded to Derby by a train of carriages,
which came with assistance from there.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of last week were moderate of English
grain, but considerable of Foreign Wheat. There was a
fair fresh supply of New Wheat from Essex, little from
other parts, and not much other Corn. Wheat, both
English and Foreign, maintained its value, with a mode-
rate trade for the latter. Barley, Beans, and Pease, un-
varied. New Beans ls. per quarter lower. Stout Oats
supported their prices, but thin foreign feed and new Oats
were Is. per quarter lower. The stock of Flour is at
present small, and the trade slack. New Tares rather
lower.
