The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence
from Constantinople to the sth instant.
This intelligence confirms the rumours of the 'recal
of General DuaasiEr„ the Russian agent in Wallachia,
and of his banishment to the Caucasus, and of the re-
tirement of the Russian army across the Pruth. The
Russian Consul at Jassy will, it is said, be recalled.

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.
—A man, upon whose person a dagger was observed, was taken
into custody last night, close by the Members' entraue, of
the House of Commons. He flourished the weapon in a
threatening manner when questioned by the police, but was
prevented from doing any mischief with it, and was taken to
the station-louse.

CAPTURE OF ANOTHER CHARTIST DELEGATE.--,
William Dowling, who was captured by the police on atur-
day, after a brief examination at Bow-street, yesterday, was
remanded to the 31st instant, when he will be brought up
with the other prisoners.
A steam-boiler explosion occurred on Friday at
the iron foundry of Messrs. L. G. Hales and Son, CHbridge,
near Burslem, Staffordshire. Three men and a boy were
dreadfully scalded, and wounded by the falling materials.
One died on Friday evening, and the others are in great
danger.

There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yester-

Railway Snares were rather better, and closed firmly.
Acc unts from Alsace state that the .manufacturers were
doing rather better. but: that the low prices ootained
fabrics did not leave a reasonable profit, the raw staple
(cotton) 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 is
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 manuf-ictures, 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. This 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/ 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 Consols, 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

The market for Railway Shares has been dull, and is still
affected by the weather, otherwise an improvement would,
no doubt, occur.
