bales. Prices have advanced during the

adjusted to conform to the rates paying. Frcm New

stant quotes middling at 7i to 7i; freight 7 16d. to

advised that killing frost occurred on the night of the 6th
instant. On the subject of crop we have nothing new to
advise. Opinions all centre on 2,700,000 bales as the
safest figures for operations, and the expectation is ge-
neral that the English orders at 4d., free on board with
freight, will be executed when the views rise and the re-
ceipts become free. At present, however, the wants of
oar home trade and the exhausted condition of stocks in
France and all over the continent, sustain prices above
the parity of the orders. The Canada's and Baltic's ad-
vices of 28th and 29. h ult. have had no effect on the
market, which closes steady, with sales of 1,600 bales at
the following (potations, for cotton from store.

SERIOUS COLLISION ON THE LONDON
AND NOR RALWAY.
WEEDON, SUNDAY AFTEENOON.—ShortIy before
dusk yesterday evening the railway station of this
town was the scene of a very serious collision, by
which many persons who were passengers along the
line sustained grievous injury. The circumstances
connected with the unfortunate event, which was
nigh depriving the company of two of its most efficient
officers, viz., Captain Huish, the general manager of
the traffic department, and Mr. Bruyere, the superin•
tendent, are described briefly as follow:—The mixed
passenger train, which usually leaves Liverpool at a
quarter past eleven in the morning fur London, is due
here about a quarter past four in the afternoon, and
near that period on Saturday a coal train unfortu-
nately happened to come up into the station. The
station-master at once ordered it to be shunted into
the siding, in order to clear the line for the Liverpool
train then due. Almost immediately it was an-
nounced that it had arrived, and bad brought
up at the signal-post, some six hundred yards
down the line, the stop signal being exhibited by
the signal man. Captain Huish and Mr. Bruyere
were in one of the first-class carriages, and with
a view of ascertaining the cause of the detention,
the latter gentleman left the train and proceeded
along the line towards the station. After the lapse
six or seven minutes, the coal train having been got
clear on the siding, the Liverpool was signalled to
come on. It accordingly was brought up to the plat-
forw. The train, although a long journey one, was
not more than ordinarily heavy ; it had the usual
complement of first and second-class carriages, and
at the rear were three private carriages oil trucks.
Amidst the bustle attending the arrival of the train,
and when it bad not been standing at the station more
than a minute, some of the porters at the Rugby end
or the platform were alarmed by observing the rapid
approach of a cattle train, at a speed perhaps of some
twenty or fifteen miles an hour. So sudden, indeed, was
its appearance, for the station is situate in a curve
cutting, that before a cry could be raised of its ap -
proach, it dashed into the Liverpool train with a force
that struck terror and consternation into all around.
Numerous were the passengers cut, bruised,
and otherwise mutilated; several, indeed, as
they were carried out of the carriages ap-
peared to be seriously injured. As soon as
the excitement consequent upon the collision had
abated the usual measures were pursued in obtaining
medical aid, and removing the sufferers to the neigh-
bouring buildings. Amongst those most seriously
injured was Mr. Curry, an elderly gentleman, who
was understood to be connected with the firm of
Ridgway and Co., in King William-street. He was
a passenger from Warrington, and we believe was
sitting in one of the second-class carriages. His con-
dition is moat painful, for it is apprehended be has
sustained severe concussion of the brain. A servant
of Colonel Douglas Pennant, who was riding in a
second-class carriage next to the luggage van, was
also found to be dangerously hurt, having sustained
severe injury in the bead. A third poor fellow, attired
in the garb of a labourer, had his leg shockingly lace-
rated from the thigh downwards, though the bone was
not broken ; and Mr. Cleaton, a Welsh flannel mer-
chant, residing in Barnsbury-park, received severe
contusions about the face and head Several ladies,

less injured.
The position of Mr. Bruyere, the superintendent of
the line, at the moment of the accident, was most
perilous. The train having come to a stand-still at
the station, he proceeded to the compartment wherein
Captain Huish was seated, and leaning against the
side of the carriage, with his face looking towards the
head of the train, was conversing with the captain,
who had his head partly out of the window when the
cattle train came up. Unfortunately, he neither
heard its approach nor the cry raised by the porter.
The achock drove him with astonishing force against
several gentlemen who were standing near him on
the platform, and falling to the ground, he rolledover,

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—An accident, which had
nearly proved of a very serious character, happened in Ox-
ford-market on Saturday last to Miss Collingwood, the
eldest daughter of Mr. Felix Collingwood, of the Manor-
house, Wheatley. It appears that Miss Collingwood and
her sister were walking through the market in company with
their father, who was slightly in advance of them, and when
passing by the shop of Mr. Ash, butcher, Miss Collingwool
received a cut across her nose, completely severing the car-
tilage. Mr. Ash, it seems, was standing outside his shop,
and at the instant Miss Collingwood passed by he turned
round to beckon to some one with his knife, which caused
this singular and unfortunate accident. Miss Collingwood
was immediately taken into the nearest chemist's shop,

very to add that she is going on favourabwlye, having
