FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT_;
Yesterday afternoon a melancholy accident happen
on the river Thames, within a few yards of the South;
*elk iron-bridge, which resulted in the death of °,llr
man, and placed the lives of nearly two hundred otile
persons in danger. It appears that about four o'cl"cic
the Sunbeam, City and West-end steam-boat, took in sea
usual complement of passengers at Lopidon-bridge, anp
pt.( needed up the river as far as Southwark bridge,- iv' d
au accident took place which threw (very one on boar
411 W a most pon,ul state or txcittmerit. A min of the
name of Chitterficlit, with his wife and child, went on
(1.1.4 of the vessel, and the moment the steamer ir''"
passing under the before-mentioned bridge, the unforttr
bare man fell overboard The ahrii ks of his Ode
and other females on board, on witneiising the vie;
occurrence, beceme most piercing, and 11"")1
nt the deck, having ro-,bed on one aide of the boar, „
look after the poor tea., c:used the vessel to cant i"
rush an extent that it was momentarily expi cted to 113111
over. Tow, of course, further increased the tears of tha
numerous passengi rs. Ibe captutn of the vessel cis(Wu lou rly to those on board to resume their seats, ivhics
having been done, no iurtber tatachiet follo•ed- ' ,p—
hi,e
firemen on board the fLadtil engine put tiff ih.ir bolt
in the hopes of ailing the ut.fortunate man, but obei`
they hart nearly rescued hitt), two steamers eam°,ll; and it is believed tar the paitile-wheels of one struck
the poor fellow On the

o tbo
tittle, they search( d the river for some time, but. 01), ,;1,
six 'clock lest evenii g. the body ha I not been r( cover's
From the tact of the tide running down fast at the time
r here is no doubt taut that the di ceased has been carrieu
by the current into the pool. The wife of the untortts:
nate man was taken to the /I'lophi-trier, where she wll3
led ashore iu strong hysti tics.

The accounts from the Amsterdam and lintteth rip-p
produce markets state that bu•lne's was inact ve. w
was no great alteration in coffee; sugar continued quiet's, t
tut was rather more in demand. Indigo appeared &at, stl
little inclination existed o enter into contracts, owing 1-43 e
app. oaching public sales. Notice had been given 0' the
quantity of indigo, cochineal, and spices about to be brought
turward hy the l)utch East Indi Company. At Anteerri
there was not much doing, but coffee and hides were
suppor ed.
The accounts of the state of trade in the province!
during the past weak show a very favourable demand 111'
Manchester, especially for home consutnptiou. At Birixlior
ham, also, there has been full activi y, and a continued
nution of pauperism. At Nottingham and in the clothioe
districts there has been no alteration. lhe Irish linen 1:12°-
ket has ben dull.
