LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stet,—Observing in your excellent paper this morning
that various means are pointed out by parties to ensure
additional security to the public travelling by railway,
I beg to point out one that I think the late awful
accident near Wolverton imperatively calls for, which is,
that not only upon all points of the railway, such a■
where Fossey was placed, but also upon all engines and
tenders, now conducted by two individuals, an over-
looker, every way competent, should be at hand, to see
that the duty of those so appointed should be properly
attended to. Just for a moment consider what would be
the consequence should any of the three employed be
seized suddenly in a fit of apoplexy, or otherwise dis-
abled from performing their duty. Had such au officer
been appointed, Fossey never would have dared to turn
the train improperly off the right direction, which the
verdict of the jury proves he did.—l am, Sir, &c.,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'clock.

BILLS FROM THE COMMONS.
Several Bills were brought up and read a first time.
COPYHOLD COMMISSION BILL.
On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL this Bill was
read a second time.
TURNPIKES CONTINUANCE BILL.
On the motion of the same Noble Lord this Bill was
read a second time.
GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP.
The Earl of RODEN stated that the Great Britain
steam-ship had been run aground in the Bay of Dun-
drum, within sight of his own residence. Up to the
present time numerous unsuccessful efforts had been
made, by means of breakwaters, to preserve the vessel
during the storm, and through the exertions of Captain
Claxton, he hoped that that splendid vessel would
be restored to its owners. He had been struck
with the great services rendered by the use of faggots
as a breakwater, and he wished to ask the Noble Lord
at the head of the Admiralty whether any steps had
been taken by the Government with a view to ascertain-
ing the value of this kind of material as a breakwater?
The Earl of AUCKLAND was understood to say
that the Government had sent an officer to inspect the
position of this vessel, and they had made an offer to
the proprietors of the use of a powerful steamer should
it be required to aid in getting the vessel off.
- BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.
tha the second reading of this Bill being moved,
Lord MONTEAGLE wished to call the attention of
their Lordships to the importance of providing suitable
accommodation for the public in baths and washhouses.
The Noble Lord also presented a petition suggesting the
adoption of baths in every parish, and that they should
be supported by rates.
FEES AT ST. PAUL'S.
Earl FITZWILLIAM complained of the practice of
charging fee for viewing the cathedral of St. Paul's.
He attended there yesterday, and a charge of 2d. was
made upon him for inspecting the structure. He thought
it was high time that the system was put an end to.
Messengers from the Commons brought in several
Bills, which were ordered to lie on the table.
MASTERS IN CHANCERY BILL.
On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the
Masters in Chancery Bill and the Masters in Chancery
Affidavit Office Bill were read a third time and passed.
London, England, 1847-06-18

FREIGHTS.

Tonnage continues as scarce as ever. The last char-
ters fur Trieste were at 41. 15s. to Si., and 5 per cent.
for cases, 15 per cent. less for bags, to the Channel; and
a market in the United Kingdom, 51. ss. to si. 75. 6d.,
and 5 per cent. for cases. Liverpool, 41. 156., and 5 per
cent. Cotton, to and 5 per cent. per lb.
There are no disengaged vessels in port, and two or
three moderate-sized vessels would still command these
rates, or 2s. 6d. less for the Channel and Mediterranean.
Mims, MAY I.—The Ada's cargo (3,220 tube of cod-
fish and haddock, from Jersey) 501d11,500 codfish and 9,500
haddock. The Othello followed her, and, meeting with no
offer, proceeded, on the 15th ult., to Rio. Since then
the Clutha, from Harbour Grace and Pernambuco, has
arrived with 2,468 drums, which were disposed of at
9,200r5. ; but, turning out inferior to the samples were
rejected, and an abatement of 800 rs. per drum sub-
mitted to.

Flour—A cargo of Trieste had fetched 25 dolls.
Stock, 4,200 barrels. _

Sugars-1,800 to 1,900 browns, and 2,400 to 2,450
whites.

Cotton-5,500.
Freights are somewhat lower; and last charters for
the United Kingdom are at 41. 10s. and 5/. per cent.
Exchange, 28 to 274.
RIO DE JANEIRO, APRIL 24.—N0 further arrival of
codfish. The Othello from Bahia, and Broad Axe from
Jersey, are daily looked for. The article is now retailing
at 13 dolls. to 15 dolls. per drum.
Flour—Stock, 24,040 barrels, in first hands. The
quotations are,—Richmond, 24 dolls., and Baltimore,
20 dolls. per barrel. Exchange fiat. Nothing doing
above 28d. _ . .

Freights are not so firm. Last charters are 655. to
London for sugar, and 775. 6d. for a Swede to Ham-
burgh.
Coffee in demand at 3,000 dolls. to 3,100; superior,
2,800 dolls. to 2,900. Stock; 22,000 bags.
London, England, 1847-06-18

EXPORTS.

rERNANBUCO, MAY 14.—Cotton—In consequence of
the decline in our exchange, cotton is in more request,
and as it arrives is readily bought up at first quality,
5,700 to 5,500 per arr., or 5/d. to tid. per lb. ; and a
further rise will, we think, take place as soon as our port
is better supplied with shipping.
Sugars—Our market is well supplied with this article,
and sellers of bags in general are disposed to submit to
—eases w bites, 900 to 1,000 above ferro in usual assort-
ments, and according to quality equal to 19s. 11d to
20s. 10d. per cwt. Some large holders of cases will not,
however, sell at present rates. Barrels are very scarce,
and cost fully 5 per cent. dearer than bags, owing to a
great want of flour barrels and shooks this season. We
estimate the stock in first and second hands ft 5,000
cases, and 50,000 bags of all qualities. The fall on our
Exchange will, we think, prevent any further material
decline at present, and if shipping were not so scarce,
and freights at such an advance, we, no doubt, should
have higher prices—at the present moment, for want of
vessels, there is no demand, and the late more dis-
couraging accounts from home intimidate speculators here.
We quote Muscovados 1,000 to 1,150 above ferro in usual
assortments, and according to quality equal to 15s. 2id.
to 16s. 7-id.

Exchange—The limited transactions in shipments of
produce during the. past month from the continued scar-
city of tonnage, and this added to large remittances from
the southern ports, for investment, have caused our rate
to fall in less than a month from 30d. to 27id. Its future
rule will depend upon the next accounts we receive from
Rio and Bahia, as also upon the number of vessels that
may arrive to enable shipping-houses to resume their
operations. In any case we do not expect to see it go
much lower, and the arrival of only a few vessels, want-
ing cargoes, would again give it an impetus upwards.

PERNANBUCO, MAY 14.—Cotton—In consequence of
the decline in our exchange, cotton is in more request,
and as it arrives is readily bought up at first quality,
5,700 to 5,600 per arr., or 54c1. to 6d. per lb. ; and a

is better supplied with shipping.
Sugars—Our market is well supplied with this article,
and sellers of bags in general are disposed to submit to
—cases whites, 900 to 1,000 above ferro in usual assort-
ments, and according to quality equal to 19s. lld to

From most parts the accounts which have come to hand
to- dav, relative to the growing bine, are to the effect that
no further increase has taken place in the fly. The late fine
showers have, we conceive, been somewhat beneficial to the
plant; still, however, a few speculative purchases were made
here this morning, at very full prices; but, for immediate
consumption, the transactions were on a very limited scale.
In the duty scarcely any betting has taken place since our
last, but present appearances are against a high range.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

Richard Phesby, who described hirnsalf as a waiter at
a West-end hotel, was chs,rged with having deserted his
wifo and child, whereby she became chargeable to the
parish of St. James's, .Clerkenwell, and also with a
violent assault upon Barlow, one of the officers of the
workhouse, and creating a riot.
It appeared that, about thirteen months ago, the pri-
soner ran away from his wife, when she was compelled
by distress to enter the workhouse, where she was con-
fined of a child, which was now almost in a dying state.
The prisoner called yesterday, in a state of intoxication,
and demanded to see his vgife,when Barlow took him into
custody, and was about to remove him to the station-
house, but the prisoner tripped him up and threw him
violently to the ground, and a large number of idle per-
sons being waiting outside the gate of the workhouse,
the prisoner incited then to attack the officer, which

THE WESTMINSTER F.T.EnTTON.—MEETING
OF MR. C. .LUbiIINGION'S FRIEADS.

Last evering a meeting of the electors of the city of
Westminster, residing in the parish of St. Martin-in-
the-Fields, was held in the Parthenon Rooms, St. Mar-
tin's-lane, for the purpose of hearing 'Mr. C. Lushington
enter into an explanation of his political principles.
Dr. BAINBRIDGE being clalled to the chair, said that
in a short time the electors of that large and influential
constituency would be required to make choice of a
properaindividual to represent them in Parliament, in
consequence of the resignation of Mr. J. T. Leader.
They all valued their present representative, General Sir
De Lacy Evans, who, he believed, had performed his
duties to the satisfaction of the electors.—(Hear, hear.)
He supported every good measure that was brought into
Parliament, and he: voted for the Government when
questions were introduced by the Ministers for the inte-
rest of the country ; but was independent of them when
they acted in a contrary spirit.— (Hear, hear.) There
was another candidate before them, who was a gentleman
of known worth, and who had honourably represented a
popular constituency. He was a tried man, and his name
was paramount for supporting every measure calculated
to benefit his country.—(Applause.) That gentleman
was now before them, and would stato his opinions.—
(Hear.) It was of great consequence that the electors
should look with caution at all those candidates who came
to solicit their suffrages, and should make choice of that
gentleman who would be likely to protect their interests.
—(Hear.) If Mr. C. Lushington became their repre-
sentative, and he had very little hesitation in saying that
he would be returned at the next election, he (Dr.
Bainbridge) was convinced that he would be the active
supporter of education,'"of sanatory reform, and of every
measure that would be beneficial.—(Applause.)
Mr. C. LUSDINGTON then addressed the meeting, and
fully explained his opinions in reference to the various
important political questions likely to be introduced
into Parliament, which were listened to throughout with
attention, and were received with acclamation.
Mr. JONES moved the following resolution :—" That
this meeting, approving of the opinions and sentiments
expressed by Mr. C. Lushington, and considering his
past conduct in the House of Commons, and his tried
services a guarantee for the future, do hereby engage to
use their utmost exertions to secure his election as one
of the representatives of the city of Westminster."
The resolution being seconded, was agreed to by a
large majority.
Mr. C. LIISHINGTV then acknowledged the vote,
and the meeting aepai'ated.

FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF O'COIv.NELL.—The Paris
Univers quotes the following letter from Rme of
the sth instant :—A grand funeral service for the
repose of the soul of the great O'Connell, was cele-
brated to-day in the ancient church of St. Agatha,
belonging to the Irish College. It is in that church
his heart has been deposited. The Bishop of
Hyderabad celebrated mass, and the absolution was
given by Cardinal Fransoni. The Vice-President of the
Irish College delivered a funeral oration, which drew
tears from the auditory. But this is a mere family
homage, rendered by the Irish to the memory of their
liberator. On the 15th a public ceremony is to
take place, in which Rome will pay a just tribute of
gratitude and admiration to the champion of reli-
gious liberty. Professor Orioli has already pronounced,
before an auditory composed of the most eminent men
of the Roman Society by their rank and learning, a
panegyric of the great citizen of Ireland, which will
shortly be published. The eloquent Father P. Ventura
is also preparing a funeral oration for the ceremony of
the 15th, which is to be celebrated in one of the cathe-
drals of the Holy City."
THE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES BY A YOUNG GER-
MAN.—Since the commital of the young foreigner, Adolphe
Schutz, on a charge of forgery, we learn that by the active
exertions of our chief superintendent of police, Mr. Bes-
wick, a sum of money, amounting to 1,000/., part of the
large sum obtained by means of the forged letters of credit,
has already been recovered. There is a strong probability
that a further sum will be recovered, and unless the means
taken by Mr. Beswick should, through some unforseen cir-
cumstance, be frustrated, strong hopes are entertained that
nearly the whole proceeds of the forgeries will be regained.
