FATAL RAILWAY AOCllDENT.—Southampton, Feb. 23.
—A shocking railway accident happened to-day. Just
as a London goods train was slowly starting, a breaks-
man, named Turner, signalled the train to return for
more waggons. In getting on the line to couple the ad-
ditional waggons to the train his foot got between the
rails where a shunting commenced, and he could not ex-
tricate It before the train came upon him, struck him on
the back, knocked him down, and nearly cut him in two.
GLASGOW, Feb. 21.—1 n the early part of the week
our cotton market was considerally excited, and large
sales were made at an advance of Bd. to id. on the prices
current last Friday ; but since Wednesday the demand
has subsided, and the market closes tame at about hd.
advance. The advices from New York received here
yesterday have had no effect on the market. Goods and
Yarns—There is no change in goods and yarns since our
last, and a moderate business is doing at full prices. In
goods there Las been a manifest improvement in the
demand this week.
Mli. BRIGHT IN GLEN-URQUEIART,—We recently
mentioned that when Mr. Bright,
M.P., was in Glen-
Urquhart, he had in the visitors' book in the inn at
Drumnadrochit inscribed the following couplets in praise
of the glen :
In Highland glens, 'tie far too oft observed
That man is chased away, and game preserved.
Glen Urquhart is to me a lovelier glen !
men.
Here deer and grouse have not supplanted
These linos having, it would appear, excited the indig
nation of a sub,equent visitor, are followed by a re-
joinder, which we also give, and in which the writer
seeks to return the enter of the manufacturer at the

highland sport :
To buy a splendid luxury for one,
Nor thousands a wretched life-course run
'Mid stifling walls and sweltering alleys thrust
In Belial's atmosphere of devil's dust ;
D,,omed by the heartless priest of Mammon grim
To toil, and pale, and pine, and die for him.
Glen 'Urquhart is to me a glorious glen;
Here mules and shoddy have not stunted men.
Glen-Urquhart, we need not tell our readers, is for the
most part the property of our noble neighbour, the
Right Hon. the Earl of Seafield.—Banffshire Journal.
SOCIETY OF ARTS SOIREE.—On Saturday evening the
annual conversazione of the Society of Arts was held at
the Society's House, in the Adelphi. The attendance was
unusually numerous, and included a great number of the
nobility and men distinguished in the arts and sciences.
The rooms were furnished with a rich collection of paint"
ings as well as illustrations of several recent discoveries
in the scientific world. Mr. Mayan's exhibition of
t.pho-
tographs on ivory was transferred to the society for b
evening, and created considerable interest, from the.
