RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR TEWKES-

BURY.

Two PERSONS KlLLED.—Shortly before five o'clock
on Saturday evening last the passenger and horse
carriage on the branch line between Ashchurch and
Tewkesbury (which consists of a single line of rails),
left the Ashchurch station, conveying besides the
driver and a boy, Mrs. Rudge, wife of Mr. Rudge,
tanner, of Tewkesbury, and her little son ; Sarah
Price, a married woman, residing at Twyning ; and
Thomas Berrow, a carpenter, Tewkesbury. The vehicle
was followed at the usual interval by the goods engine
which runs daily between Cheltenham and Tewkes-
bury, but owing to the horse in the omnibus falling,
the progress of the latter was stayed, and the engine
coming up, a collision, attended with fatal results to
two of the passengers, took place. There was no tail
light to the carriage to direct the attention of the
engine driver, and to this omission, it is feared, the
fatal catastrophe is attributable—za circumstance
which, however, appears altogether to have escaped
remark at the coroner's inquisition. The carriage,
with three compartments, was dashed to pieces down
the embankment, the roof undermost, and Borrow
was taken up insensible from off the rails, the en-
gine having apparently passed over him. It was
not until three-quarters of an hour after the acci-
dent occurred that it was ascertained lif.e had been
sacrificed on the spot, and then, in removing the frag-
ments and parcels, the lifeless body of the poor
woman, Sarah Price, was discovered beneath the
heavy roof, which had crushed and suffocated
her. The assistance of a surgeon was procured
with little delay, but it availed not, for she had been
killed instantaneously. Berrow expired during the
night. The escape of Mrs. Itadge and her son seems
altogether miraculous; they occupied the middle er
best compartment, and Mrs. Price was seated in the
back or third•division of the carriage. Neither of
the former received any bodily injury. The driver
was some distance away at the moment of the colli-
sion, and it is to be regretted that he did not ap-
prise the passsengers of their danger as soon as the
engine appeared in sight. Barrow's death taking place
in the town, the inquest on his body was held on
Monday, at the Town-hall, Tewkesbury ; while that
of the woman occurring in the county, a second in-
vestigation was held the same day at Aehehurch ;
and in both instances the jury returned a verdict of
accidental death, but at the same time most strongly
expressing their conviction that the use of horse
power and steam power on the branch line (being
only a single line of rail) is dangerous to the public,
and cannot be mede compatible with the public
safety.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Lond;n New Price Current, ac. 20.)

SUGAR.—To-day there was a further fulling off in the
demird kr West India Sugar for all purposes, and the
gales am,..)urtAl to the small qqsntity of only 103 hhds,
&c. For the week operations are 914 hhds, and
prices close Gd per cwt under those of Friday last ; the
market has a dull aspect.
REFINED.—To-day better prices are not obtained for
Refined goods, but home dealers operated more freely,
chic-ill in sorts from 50s to 549. For Crushed there is
still a dull demand, with more desire to sell at former
rater.

Maerarretrs.—This afternoon the public sales of 3,520
bags Mauritius of the new crop went off quietly at
barely previous rates, still nearly the whole sold, good
and fine yellow at 393 6d to 425, crd and mid 373 to 39?,
grainy white:47s to 495, washed and syrupy 36s 63 to
41s 63, and grainy yellow 413 to 445.
EAST INDIA —To-day the market for Bengal Sugar
preseu-o I a dull aspect, and prices declieed 61; of 5,700
bags at auction not half found buyers, Mauritius de-
scription; went at 36s to 413 63, brown 33s to 345,
whit° nares 42s 61 to 453, very fine 463, good grainy
white 45s 61 to 46s 63, yellow 43s ed to 443 63, and
smell grainy 393 to 40e.
FonElGN.—There was no public sale tc-day of F, reign
Sugar, and the private operations were upon a small
scale, with sailors rather under the former value. For
the week only 3,000 bags Manilla have been sold at 31s
fur low une!ayed, and a cargo fine yellow Havannah at 253
MOLASSES.—There has been little desire to operate,
and only 150 puns were soles, but as few parcels are on
offer previous rates are supported, ruling for low to fine
West India at 15s 6d to 17s, Porto Rico and Cuba 15s to
165, Bengal and Mauritius 12s 6d to 133 per cwt.
COCOA.—The trade are yet much in want of West
India, and the rates paid are equal to those existing
privately, with a less quantity on offer than last week; at
auction 67 bags Trinidad were sold at 51s to 555, and
79 bags Grenada at 41s to 45s 6d. Foreign is firm in
price, and in fair request ; Beide and Para at 31s to
325, and Guayaquil 33s to 33s 6d.

64s to 666. Of Native several parcels were taken pri-
vately at 565 61 to 57s for good ord, and the market
closes with a firm aspect.
TEA..-Transactions in Congou have been upon a small
scale all the week, and rather lower rates are accepted
for inrerior sorts; common and good ord selling at
is 043 to is Id, medium is 13d to Is 23, but other
kinds are held for the previous value of Is 21d to is 7d;
fine of the new crop is however still sought after at 16 83
to is 103, but at present the quantity on the market is
trifling. A good demand prevails for common Gre..n,
and previous rates are well supported, as only limited
parcels are yet on offer. Of the better kinds there is a
fair supply, the trade have operated with reluctance,
and previous prices are supported with difficulty. For
Scented and Pekoe Teas there are not many buyers, yet
merchants appear unwilling to make any concession.
SPlCES.—Arrivals of Pimento this week amount to
1,500 bags, and sales have been again upon a small scale,
with selhies at the late reduction; prices rule at 5d to
Sid according to quality. Ginger is not cheaper, more
having been offered at public sale; there has, however,
been little desire to operate; Jamaica held for 81 106
to 101; Barbadoes and African, 33s to 38s; East
India export kind, 17s to 21s. Cassia Vgnea
in trifling parcels realised 102 s to 108 s, but a reduction
would take place if parcels were to be pressed for sate.
Cassia Buds are held for 1105 to 112 s, but no sales to re-
port. Cloves are not lower, yet little has been done;
the value of Bourbon is 61d to 7d, and Penang 9d to Is 43.
In Cinnamon no variation, and few sales have been made.
Mace is operated in with caution, and rather lower
terms are acceded to. At auction ton cases sold at
2s ld to 2s 6l for ordinary to middling. Nutmegs,
however, met with a good demand, and fetched full
terms. At auction twenty-two packages brown sold
at 2s 10d to 33 lid, and small at 2s 7d to 2s 93.
Former rates are well supported for Black Pepper, and
privately several parcels were sold. At aucticn 297
bags Sumatra at 31,1 to aid for clean; Malabar privately
realised 3/f1 to 3f i, and the market has a firm aspeca
In white rather more has been done; and 30 bags sold
60 for mid. Of Pod 136 bags went at 15s to 32s per
cwt.

RICE.--Tc-day there was a fair business concluded in
East India Rice, but not at better rates. The sales for
the we, k are 10,000 bags, chiefly at 9.1 to lOs 61 for
white Bengal, and at 8s 6d to 9s for pinkey Madras.

for East India Rum, and there are several buy ere; about
200 puns were disposed of at is 61,1 to is 7d proof.
L'eward Island is wanted at is 8d to Is 91, but
few parcels are on the market. On the part of
holders of Jamaica there is firmnbss, and last week's rates
are well supported, with a further falling off in supplies.
Operations are to a fair extent, 30 to 36 per cent over-
proof—ordinary and mid quality at 2s 10d to 3s, 32 to
38 overproof, good mid and good 3s 2d to 3s Bd, and
fine and choice sorts 3s 9J to 4s 61 ; offers for large
parcels have been refused rather under these terms.
Of Demerara some parcels were sold at 23 5i to
2s 10d for 30 to 40 overproof. In Brandy sales
have been upon a Emile(' scale, still holders do
not appear disposed to submit to lower rates. Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1846 being held for 5s 10d
to 61, 1847 ditto 5s 5d to 5s 7d, 1848 ditto 4s lld to

week. For low to fine Calcutta rates rule at from 27s 6d
to 29s 6d. British Refined sells freely at 30s 6d to 31$.

declined; Currants selling at 40s to 40A 6d for low to
foe; Valencia Raisins 37s to 395; Muscatels 40s to 9th.
Turkey Pulled Figs 445; and Prunes 26s to 325.

cluded in Tin, and prices rule firm. Eat India at 82s 6J
to 84s; British Block and Bar also 83s to 84s per cwt,
at theze rates some parties decline to sell. Tin Plates
are in gcod request, one C Coke realized 28s to 28s 6d

spot is held for 161 7s 6d to 161 105, and for arrival at

61 per ton according to assortment. There is still a
good deal doing in common Welch Bars at 4/ 17s 6d to
51, and Rails 51 to Si 5s ; the market presents a firm
aspect. For Lead the rates obtained are 171 to 171 lOs
for British Pig. For Steel there is also a good busi-
ness doing. In rates of Copper no variation, and the
market looks firm. Swedish Steel still realizes 141 101
to 151 lOs per ton, and stock is moderate.
TURPENTINE.—Thero is less business doing in Spirit 9,
and rates are not so firm ; British drawn selling at 335

casks Petersburgh Soap Tallow at 34s 91 to 355.
OILS.—At length thr.re are sellers of Linseed Oil
rather under previous rates; still shippe'rs and home
deal. rs have operated with caution on the spot
at 32i 61 to 32s 91 per cwt. For delivery
there are sellers at 33s to 33s 31, and with fes buyers,
the supply of Oil also continues to get larger. P.lm
has been in good request, still fine cannot be

quoted above 293, although supplies are not larger. In
Cocoa Nut rather more business doing, and holders
appear firmer; sales of Cochin have been made
at 30s to 323; and Ceylon :A 293 to 313. The sales
in Rape Seed Oil have been upon a limited scale,

part only sold at 37/ for pale, at 351 for tinged.
The value of other kinds is from 341 to 35/ 10s.
Southern is lOs to Iss lower, still a fair business has
been concluded ; and a public sale eighty tuns were
dispcsed of at 341 to 37/ for common to good. The de-
mand has much diminished for Sperm, and supply being
larger, a reduction in prices is apparent. Of 98 tuns at
auction a small part only sold at 841 153 to 85/ first sort
