METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Only a limited supply of beasts was on offer in to-day's
market. Prime breeds were in fair request, at fun quota-
tions ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at
Monday's currency. Prime sheep were very scarce, and in
demand, at full prices. Long-wools commanded very little
attention. The few calves in the market were disposed of
without difficulty, at extreme rates. In pigs, only a limited
amount of business was transacted, and much cows were
very dull.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR SHEFFIELD.
—On Monday night the passengers by a train leaving Mu-
bro for Sheffield were placed in considerable jeopardy, and
several of them received bruises of a more or less severe
character on their heads and faces. The train leaving Derby
at 8 o'clock at night and Chesterfield at 9 49 was about
half an hour beyond its time on arriving at the Masbro'
station. The passengers for Sheffield changed carriages at
Masbro', and when the train in which they had taken their
seats had got fairly in motion, and was turning the curve
which joins the Midland main line with the line running
between Sheffield and Rotherham, it ran out of its proper
course on to a siding. There was a luggage train standing
on the siding, and the passenger train ran into it with some
force, causing a severe shock to the 'passengers, some of
whlm were pitched with great force off their seats to the other
side of the carriage in which they were sitting. The train ap-
pears to have got out of its course by some negligence at the
points, which did not appear to have been altered after the
luggage train had been shunted on to the siding. When the
driver of the engiike saw that the train had got out of its
course, he suddenly reversed the en'ne, and did all he
could to diminish the force of the shock which must inevit-
ably take place. Notwithstanding his great efforts, how-
ever, the shock was very severe, and several of the passen-
gers were much shaken and bruised. In a first-class car-
riage there were the following legal gentlemenresidint3r.ein
Sheffield :—Mr. John Chambers, Mr. Wm. Wake, Mr.
Ber-
nard Wake' and another gent'eman. The Messrs. Wake sat-
opposite each other, and when the concussion occurred Mr.
Bernard Wake was thrown violently against his brother,
and the nose of the latter was very severely bruised and both
his eyes deeply discoloured. Mr. Chambers was severely
shaken, and sustained contusions in the loin and on the
shoulder. Many other passengers were also bruised about
the face and other parts of the body, but we are informed
that, notwithstanding the nature of the accident, not a single
inquiry was made of the passengers by any of the railway
officials as to whether any of them were hurt. We have no
doubt the authorities of the line will institute a proper inves-
tigation into the cause of the accident.—Manchestcr Bra-
