SMITHFIELD. . .
The supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market being on
the increase, and the weather unfavourable for slaughtering,
the Beef trade was somewhat inactive, and Monday's ad-
vanced rates were with difficulty supported. With
foreign stock, amongst which were 60 Beasts from
Portugal, in good condition, we were well supplied.
Although the numbers of Sheep were nearly 2,000 bead
less than those exhibited on this day se nnight, the
demand for that description of stock was heavy, at barely
stationary prices. In Lambs, the supply of which was by no
means extensive, a very limited business was doing; but we
can notice no further decline in value. Prime Down quell,
ties produced no more than 5s per Sibs. Calves were in
large supply and sluggish demand at late rates. In Pigs
next to nothing was doing. Milch Cows moved off slowly
at from 15/ to 181 each, including their small Calf.

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN
COUNTIES liarewAr.-r-Information has been forwarded to
Mr. Baker, the Coroner for East Middlesex, of a very serious
accident having happened on the Eastern Counties Railway
near the Lea-bridge station, by which
.Mr. William Bun-
grey, a solicitor, residing at Stockbridge, in Rants, lost his
life. From the particulars as yet transpired it appears that
on Tuesday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the de-
ceased had got on to the main line at the moment a train
was approaching. The engine-driver sounded the steam-
whistle, and adopted the usual means to intimate to him his
dangerous position ; but from deafness, it was supposed, he
was not conscious of his danger until the buffer of the engine
caught him, and threw him apparently on to the permanent
way between the rails, and the fire-box of the engine crush-
ing him as it passed along. The unfortunate sufferer, when
picked up, was found to be alive, and with all haste the
authorities had him removed to the London Hospital, where
he survived but a short time. There does not appear that
any blame is attributable to the officers of the company.
