occurred at the bridge. at the Putney station on this line of

lost his life. It is supposed that the deceased, who was one
of the guards of the train, was adjusting the luggage on the
roof, and forgetting the bridge under which the train had
to pass, he was standing up, when he was struck by the
brickwork. He was not missed until the arrival of the
bridge, with very '

ACCIDENT ON THE GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND
AYR RAILWAY.—On Tuesday morning, as the half-past nine
direct train from this town to Glasgow was proceeding as
usual, near to Fergus-hill, they came into collision with i
mineral train, which was coming at the time. The trucks
were empty, and such was the impetus, that they were cut
through by the engine of the passenger train, and thrown
on each side smashed to pieces. Fortunately,, besides the
detention, alarm and jolt, the passengers were uninjured.—
Kilmarnock Journal.
ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND PRESTON
RAlLWAY.—Yesterday a severe collision took place on this
railway between the down express London and Edinburgh
train and a local train of the Lancaster and Preston Railway,
which was standing at the Bay Horse station, about fourteen
miles north of Preston. Two carriages of the local train
were much damaged, and unfortunately several passengers
in the carriages were severely injured, one of whom has since
died. No injury whatever occurred to the express passen-
gers, and the train was forwarded after a short delay.
APPREHENSION OF A SUPPOSED CHARTIST, ARMED.

There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day, with a good supply, and no alteration occurred in
prices. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales. American reaiiseil
3d. to 51/2d. per lb.
Railway Snares were rather better, and closed firmly.
Accounts from Alsace state that the manufacturers were
doing rather better, but that the low prices obtained for
fabrics did not leave a reasonable profit, the raw staple
(eotton) being comparatively too dear. This is somewhat
curious at a time when the growers of cotton, and indeed of
almost every other article, are bitterly complaining of the
slackened demand and reduced quotations, though it in
our own impression, as the result of some reflec.
tion and experience, that the whole course of English
legislation recently will be to diminish to the consumer
the cost of every necessary, and to the planter the
expense of production. The great struggle and consequent
distress falls, it would seem, upon the planter first, and
until the changes introduced are in full operation, this must
be the case. With a population increasing daily to an
enormous extent, it was obviously merely " Hobson's
choice," whether the toiling artizan should be starved or
fed; and, indeed, whether from the pressure of insup-
portable poverty, the political stability of Euro-
pean nations should not be endangered. Competition
has reduced the price of labour to almost the lowest possible
amount, and foreign countries which received our goods were
reaping the benefit by sending us dear produce in return.
Even our colonies, under the pernicious system of long-
dated bills, were as much opposed to us as independent
countries. The home merchant choked the Indian markets
with British manufactures, selling them for less than they
were invoiced, while he bought up every pound of sugar and
every bag of rice as a return shipment, at unreasonably high
values, to be sold in the mother country perhaps at
two-thirds of the sum paid for them. 'Phis was literally
"'burning the candle at both ends," and it is time, having
suffered so severely, that 'we turned the tables. in all
quarters, thanks to free trade, abundant stores of grain
and other food invite us, and although a suddenly extended
want of food must derange the ordinary relations of com-
merce, it is not to be supposed that we shall purchase our
supplies with bullion alone. Reverting to the Alsace manu-
facturers, we find it stated that an alteration is necessary in
the regulations for the transit of goods, and that the whole
tariff should be reduced 50 per cent.
The public securities have been heavy this morning, and
there have been some speculative sales made. Consols have
realised 85% to 86 for transfer,,and 853/4 to 86 for account.
Exchequer-bills continue heavy. Those of 5001., dated
March, have been 28s. to 31s. premium. Many parties ex•
press surprise, and perhaps not altogether unnaturally,
at the comparative firmness of stocks, but with
the dullness of trade affecting sensibly the prosperity
of other investments, railways for instance, many have no
alternative but to purchase Console, and are the less disin-
clined to do this, because they can make certain at present
prices of nearly three and a half per cent. Even a new
loan, while money is so abundant, might, in this view of the
case, have no very great effect. Bank Stock has declined to
197% and 196. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
are 86% to 86%,
The Foreign Bonds are not heeded. Mexican realise 16%
to 17, Russian 101, and Dutch Four per Cents. 71.
The market for Railway Shares has been dull, and is still
affected by the weather, otherwise an improvement would,
no doubt, occur.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman FARNCOMB.)
CASE OF POISONING.—Upon the application of Mr. CLARK-
S", Who appeared for Mary Spry and Mary Ann Dore, who
stand charged with the murder of an infant child, the former
'ling the grandmother and the latter the mother of the
_ziil(l, it was considered by the Court that the body should
be placed in the hands of Mr. Taylor, the eminent chemist
at Gay's Hospital, for the purpose of having the contents of
the
stomach analysed. The two prisoners, who occupy a
respectable position in society. were charged upon a coroner's
Inquisition, and serious doubts have since been entertained
118 to the truth of the statement that the death of the child
Was caused by the administration of poison.
41bert Brown, cabinet-maker, aged 21, was indicted with
stealing, in the dwelling-house of Charles Wyeth. one watch
and chain, value 14/., the property of William Vaughan.
William Vaughan deposed that the prisoner lived in the
same house with him, and that he quitted suddenly on the
nth of July without giving any notice. On the same day
he missed the watch and chain. He received a letter from
the prisoner a few days afterwards, stating that the watch
pas at Chatham, and the chain in a pawnbroker's shop in
the Westminster-road. Upon making inquiries, he found
out the prisoner, and he then admitted that he had taken the
property in question.
Mr. Attenborough, of the Western-road, pawnbroker,
proved that the chain was pledged with him by the prisoner.
A person of the name of Nathan stated that the prisoner
asd offered the watch to him for sale.
The prisoner's employer gave him a good character. '
The RECORDER having summed up,
The jury found a verdict of Guilty, and he was sentenced
to imprisonment for six calendar months, in the House of
Correction, with hard labour.
n George Lewis was indicted with defrauding William
urst out of the sum of two guineas, upon the representation
that it was due as a fee to the district surveyor.
; The prosecutor stated that he was the owner of a beer-shop
41 oboe-lane, and that he placed the prisoner, who was his
Servant and assistant, in the shop for the purpose of carrying
00 the business. In May last certain repairs were going on
at the shop, and on the :'Bth he gave two guineas to the pri-
setler, who stated that it had been claimed by the district
surveyor, as his fee for superintending the alterations under
the Building Act. The prisdner told him that in the first
instance the surveyor claimed 54 but ultimately he had got
it reduced to two guineas. In the beginning of June he dis-
covered that the proper fee was only 30s.
Mr. Kemp, clerk to the district surveyor, Mr. Stevens, said
be called upon the prisoner on the 28th of May, and handed
14°1 a paper with a fee of 305. marked upon it. The prisoner
told him to call again in the course of the day, which he did,
When he paid him 11., and promised to pay the remainder if
Jae came again during the week. He never made a demand of
51. or of 21. on any occasion. Mr. Hurst, the prosecutor, paid
nitn the remaining les. on the discovery of the fraud.
Mr. Bond, an accountant, stated that the prisoner had
given credit to the prosecutor for two guineas in his books,
and had inserted the amount as a payment to the district sur-
veyor.
In the course of Mr. Ballantyne's speech for the defence,
the prisoner was seized with a kind of hysterical fit, and the
business of the Court had to be suspended while he was being
removed.
The RECORDER having addressed the Jury,
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty, and he was sentenced
to be imprisoned for three calendar months, with hard labour.
