the pupils were blind in consequence of havin
small-pox. It was well known that such need riot be
the
case in this land; and when he remembered that this land
gave birth to Jenner, he blushed for the neglect which was
manifested; and well might a foreigner express his surprise
that so many should be the victims of that disease in this
country, when in Ilanover and Prus=ia he never saw a single
instance o'n" blindness from the small-pox. —Dr . Laycock's
Speech at York, Sept. 12, 1846.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON TILE GREAT WESTERN
RA LWA T. —On Monday, as the express-trt,in from Exe-
ter, arriving at Paddington, at 411. 30in., was passing the
four o'clock down train at Southall, the tire of the driving-
wheel flew off, and striking a second-class carriage on the
down-train, broke the upper part to pieces, killing on the
spot two men, and wounding several others. A lady in the ,
express-train was also injured by the rebound of a part of
the broken wheel. Neither train was thrown off the rails,
and the express was not travelling at above its usual speed.

(From The Sun of last Night.)
There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day, at previous rates. Sales, 3,000 bales, all to the trade.
Shares were lower.
The numerous arrivals from abroad do not, as may be
presumed, bring equally favourable intelligence. The
political accounts from our East Indian possessions,
intimate that there was some fear of treachery at
Lahore, but few here doubt the ability of Lord Har-
dinge to overcome it. The Six per Cent. Loan was filling
up better. In general the markets for imported goods,
whether in India or China were not active.
The packet-ship Anglo Won, with accounts of the sth
inst. from New York. seems to bring a good report to those
who watch with patriotic anxiety the chances of an abundant
supply of food. There is evidently a conviction on the part of
the Americans that they have so large a surplus that it will
be to their interest to sell us as much as they can at existing
rates. In the Metropolitan Corn Exchange these accounts
have had due weight to-day, wheat being dull of sale, while
malt, b;c., is decidedly cheaper. At Dublin, and in other
places also, there is a decline in the price of grain.
The news, per steamer, from Jamaica, Demerara, and the
other West India colones, is very cheerful with respect to the
weather and the prospect for the next crops.
In Aria' Birmingham Gazette, received this day, we find
the following just remarks ;—"The preduction of railways
is not essentially different from the production of mannfac-
tured goods generally—wages have to be paid and circulated
while railways are making, as they have during the process
of other manufactures, and the return of profit will imme-
diately commence in both cases, :Paean as the manufacture,
is completed; and supposing rail Ways to be---as they ought
to be—in the hands of capitalists, no inconvenience can arise
from the necessary delay in their completion. With the present
scarcity and high price of provisions, it is well that the labouring
classes have profitable employment, and that our captalists
are compelled to circulate their money, since this must tell
immensely to the national welfare and advantage. Fortu-
nately for the stability and safety of the trade of this impor-
tant district, Birmingham has been comparatively free from
that undue and unwholesome speculation in railways in 1845,
the consequences of which continite to be gradually developed
in towns where that speculation was carried to so fearful an
extent. Our merchants and manufacturers have, for the
most part, already furled their.Als, and are prepared for the
threatening storm, which will pass harmlessly over them if
legitimate credit and confilence be fairly maintained and
supported."
We join our contemporary in the remainder of his reason-
ing as to the impolicy of the Times, or indeed of any journal
making bad worse by its exaggeration of evils.
We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the
London and North-Western Company have offered to lease
the Scottish Midland Railway in perpetuity, at 6 per cent.
and half profits ; the offer will doubtless be accepted. As
the Scottish Midland joins the Aberdeen line in the neigh-
bourhood of Forfar, it is understood that this offer to the f or-
mer is preliminary to the conclusion of the negotiations
between the London and North-Western, which have been
going on for some time for leasing the Aberdeen, in which
case the Euston-square company will next year have an un-
interrupted communication from the metropolis to the north
of Scotland, a distance of more than 500 miles.
The Englimh Funds have been to-day decidedly better.
The rally is in fact to % per cent. in Consols, owing
mainly to the great improvement in the Rentes at Paris on
Saturday. For transfer to-morrow the quotations have been
903/4 to 90%, and for time 96% to 91;4. Exchequer-bills
have been ls. higher, viz., 3s. to 7s premium. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% %. Bank
Stock is worth only 203% to 204%, not having participated
in the improvement. East India Stock is marked 248 to 250.
The Foreign Bonds have participated in the improvement
of our own market, and are more dealt in at advancing rates.
Spanish Five per Cent. have been 23 to 23%; and the Three
per Cents. 3414 to 34. Portuguese Four per Cent. have
been 34 to 34%; Mexican, 21% 3/4 ; Grenada, 18% to 19 ;
Brazilian, 84 to 84%; and Dutch ;rim-and-a-Half per
Cents., 57 to %.
Shares have been improving, with a moderate business
doing. Caledonian are 254 to 26; Great Western, 122 to
124; Brighton, 543 to 55; North-Western, 190 to 191;
South-Western, 601 to 61%; Midland, 122 to 121%;
North British, 3334 ya ; North Stafford, 73/4 to 8%; South-
Eastern, 3634 %; Great Northern of France, 11% to 12 ;
and Boulogne and Amiens, 14%.
