WOOLWICII, AUG. 18.—An order has been issued
strictly prohibiting the gentlemen cadets from bathing in
the canal in future, it having been remarked that the per-
sons who have lost their lives by drowning in it never rose
to the surface a second time, as is often the case, and this
circumstance has given rise to an impression that there is
something noxious in the water of the canal.
ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTII-WRST.
ERN RAILWAT.—Auother accident occurred on this line of
railway yesterday morning, by which the life of one of the
engine-drivers has been placed in imminent peril. The fol-
lowing are the circumstances, so far as we have been able to
ascertain them :—Thomas Sands left Birmingham at a quar-
ter to nine o'clock on Thursday evening, in charge of a lug-
gage train, which he brought safely as far as the Tring cut-
ting. While passing through this cutting his engine
became out of order, and the unfortunate man having become
alarmed, threw himself off the engine-plate into the embank-
ment, and sustained a severe, fracture of the thigh.
WAKEFIELD CORN .MARKET, FRIDAY.—The wea-
ther during the past week has not been very favourable for
harvest pperations; to-day is fine. The arrivals are good of
all articles. Wheat is held at an advance of is. to 2s. per
quarter, which in some measure checks the sale, but a mo-
derate business is done at this improvement. Oats and Shel-
ling are unaltered in Nrahle, and in fair request. Beans rather
dearer.

ZDINBURGII.—THE CRO
PS—Since the setting in
of the uncommonly tine weather the crops have pro-
gressed in a remarkable manner. Barley harvest is in
Lull operation; some of these crops are CKcelleut, though
perhaps short in straw; but the wheat crops are sbov
all well filled and set, and it is remarkable that, notwith-
standing former adverse appearances, these crops in this
locality will be generally, especially the spring-sown,
an average. The potatoes are, to the best of our knetwa.
ledge, healthy,in this part; we have neither heard-of:no.
seen any appearance of disease; but it will be 'well4e.
watch them closely. Last night was bright, clear„
