IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.

British Cotton Piece Goods—There has been a mo-
derate demand for the principal articles of Manchester
fabric, and they have in seine instances improved in
value. Gray shirtings of the lower and medium descrip-
t tons are still principally inquired for, while a decided
improvement has arisen in the demand for the heavier
sorts. Bleached have not been so free of sale. Jaconots,
both grey and white, have declined slightly in, value,
and are only in very moderate request. Somewhat
more has been doing in grey and white Madapollams,
but at low prices. Prints have been placed to a
moderate extent, but (as has been the case for some
time past) at very unsatisfactory prices for shippers.
A little more has been doing in the lighter descrip-
tions of Manchester and Scotch fabrics ; and woollens
continue in fair inquiry at a slight advance on pre-
vious prices.
Mule Twist—The active demand previously noticed
as having sprung up fbr this article has in a measure
subsided, and operations have been limited ; prices,
however, are well supported by holders.
Coloured Yarn—For German dye Turkey red
there has been a fair inquiry, but in other colours
little has been doing; prices remain without alteration.
Metals—A moderate amount of business has been
done in nearly all descriptions of goods under this
head ; still the brisk demand experienced at this
season in former years has not been felt ; prices, how
ever, are well sustained by holders, who have in most
bistro:ices been enabled to obtain an advance owing to
the 11,ghtness of stocks.
Salt Several vessels laden with salt have recently
arrimd, and their cargoes have found ready sale at
the following rates :-5,500 maunds at 96 rupees per
100 ; 4,500 maunds at 97 rupees per 100 ; 3,000
ma ands at 98 rupees per 100 ;
.1,000 maunds at 96
rul)ees. per 100; 2,000 maunds at 95 rupees per 100.

Open house was generally kept by the Conservatives,

though the numbers polled may be found to differ
when the cdficial announcement is made. The returns
are ten Conservatives and four Reformers.

for this borough the Conservatives opposed the Libe-

drew's, and Messrs. Plummer and Smith in St.

FATAL ACCIDENTS on the DERBY

AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

BexroN' Nov. 2.—Coroners' inquests were held
to •day and on Saturday last relative to two very
frightful accidents on the Derby and Birmingham
line of the Midland Railway, which involved the loss
of three lives. On Friday evening, about five minutes
past five, as the train which leaves Birmingham at a
quarter to four o'clock for Derby, Leeds, was
proceeding from the Wellington station, and just
before crossing the river Dove, the engine-driver of
the engine attached to the train perceived two men
walking on the line, apparently quite heedless of the
dangerous situation they were in. The evening was
very foggy, and the driver states that they could not
have been more than 25 or 30 yards from the engine
when he first noticed them. By every means
in his power he endeavoured to stop the train and
warn the unfortunate fellows off the line. The
whistle was loudly sounded, steam reversed, and
tender and guards' breaks applied ; and, notwith-
standing the rate the train was travelling at the time
—2O miles an hour—it is considered that it was all
but brought to a halt when they met with their
deaths. The buffer of the engine struck them and
hurled their bodies with terrible force on the embank-
ment. The-driver and guard instantly alighted, and
found one quite dead. The other was breathing, al-
though it was evident he could not live long. The ne-
cessary fog signals were placed on the rails in the rear
of the train and shortly an engine coming up from
Tamworth was stopped. By this time the second poor
fellow had expired, and the bodies were conveyed to
Wellington. They were then identified as being
those of William Cross aged 38, and Francis Tooby,
aged 35, both cattle jobbers, and in no way con-
nected with the company. On the evening in ques-
tion they were in partnership, and on their way to
this place (Buxton) to fetch some cows which were
on sale for the fair. Mr. B. Beswiek, the inspector
of the line, traced footsteps from where the accident
happened full three quarters of a mile. The boots of
the deceased were compared with the footmarks and
were found to correspond. They had taken to the

line at the Whitmore crossing, and by this dangerous
route would scarcely save a quarter of a mile to
where they were going. They had no business on
the line, and at the crossing there was a notice to
persons not to trews on the line under a pain of
incurring a penalty of 10/. The jury, being satisfied
that no blame was attributable to the company, re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death." The other
accident happened on the morning of the same day.
The deceased, James 'Walker, was the fireman of an
engine attached to a train of luggage and mineral
trucks. It left the Derby station at five o'clock, and,
as in the previous instance, the weather was very
foggy. In consequence of the greasy state of
the rails, which prevented the wheels " biting"
them, the deceased got 'down by the side of the
engine, and was putting some gravel on the rails by
means of a tube rod, when he fell, and, it is presumed,
was struck by the ashpan. Theiwheels did not touch
him, but he was shockingly hurt. He was removed
to the infirmary, and there expired. In this case,
also, the jury considered the unfortunate occurrence
was the result of accident.

CONSECRAIION OF A NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHAPEL.—Yesterday, the now Catholic chapel, recently
erected in the Tillage of Wandsworth, was consecrated
according to the forms of the Catholic religion. High
mass was sung on the occasion, and an appropriate ser-
mon was preached by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, the
pro-Bishop of the London district. The chapel was
crowded with an elegant congregation, by whom a liberal
collectinzi was made for the purposes of the edifice.
ANOTHER, SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN HACKNEY.—
Yesterday afternoon an inquiry was commenced before
house, Mare-street,
?if.r. Baker,
Hackney, on view of the body of Mrs. Frances Shere-
ityfatwthQsal,agyrentri,aiyei.rbuofholurrsecheaidvtbdee7nol.
don, aged 70 years, who is alleged to have died from
at the Dolphin public-
Evans, the summoning officer, stated
the effects of poison. Oa the return a the jury, after
circulated that twodaugh-
yearly for ker support
ters of the deceased had charged a relation with havine•
poisoned the d•ceased, who was the widow of an officer'
and her daughters resided with her in Mare-street. The
surgeon who attended the deceased stated
o
ehad been
suffering from sickness, and that there was l
a greatstste dealthe
of suspicion in the case, and he was unable to
cause of death. The nurse who was called in after the
death of the deceased, said that the two daughters were
constantly in a state of intoxication, end frequently
quarrelled with the old lady. The Coroner would not
go further into the case, and advised the jury to adjourn
and have a post mnrtem examination of the body made,
and the true cause of death would then be elucidated.
The jury agreed, and adjourned the inquiry fur a few
days.

It v.ill be found full of interest to every student of
English history, particularly at the present time, when
so much discussion has been created respecting the
'Revolution that changed tke order of succession in these
kingdoms, from James the Second and his direct heirs
to his danaliters, and after them to the House of
Hanover. Miss Strickland's pages are also replete with
anecdotes of the leading Jacobites and detail.; of the
adventuroui incidents of that romantic perial. The
Lives of Mary and Anne will doubtless be considered
as at once aznong the most entertsiuing and important
of the series.
