been moderate importations of wool, which have
realised full rates.
In the Colonial Produce Marl this week there
has been an absence of extensiv e dealing, and the
prices of several of the leading staples, owing to
the limited inquiry and the r ecent large arrivals,
have tended downwards. SugF sr, both Colonial and
Foreign, has been rather cheat_ her, and a very limited
quantity has been disposed of publicly. Native 1

been firm. Tea dull, a' ; 8;d. to Sid. per lb.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday evening, the 50
13th inst., a dreadful accident occurred on the Moreton 100
and Stratford Branch Railway, to Mr. Badger, a corn. 1(,-;,0
mercial traveller, of Warwick. He was in the act of
Passing in his gig a crossing near to Todenham wharf, 5,5
When the passenger train, which leaves Moreton for 20
Stratford at 8 o'clock p.m., was seen coming along the 25
line at a rapid rate. The guard of the train, seeing the
danger of the party, hallooed at the top of his voice, and 20
applied the breaks, but all was of no avail, for at. the 19°,
next moment the unfortunate gentleman was hurled into L 2
the air, and, in falling to the ground, came in contact
100
with the metals. One of his ears was cut off, and his
25
skull fractured, besides other very severe injuries. Little 25
Lope is entertained of his recovery. The gig was com-
pletely smashed, but the horse escaped unhurt. —Bath, 50
