MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-E_XCHANGE-FRIDAY.

We had a fair average quantity of English Wheat on
sale here. As was the case on Monday, the best parcels
were in steady request ; but all other kinds were a mere
drug. The,, , show of foreign Wheat was not large,
yet the inquiry for it was heavy at previous figures. Our
supplies of Barley, both English and Foreign, are large,
which caused
_the Barley trade to be excessively heavy,
and prices too have a downward tendency. Malt was in
slow request, but not cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas
were steady at full prices.

The supply of Beasts was'somewhat extensive, but o
very middling quality. For the primest Scots the de.
mand was 'steady, at full prices, but otherwise the Beet
trade ruled very dull. We had, on offer 70 Oxen and
Cows, together with 180 Sheep, from Rotterdam, in
good condition, while the arrivals from • Scotland com-
prised 90 Scots. The number of Sheep were small, yet
thp sale for that description of stock was inactive, at
barely Monday's. quotations. Calves were in limited
supply and-sluggish inquiry, at late rates. In Pigs,
very little was doing. Mitch Cows sold at from 16/ to
191 each.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 3.—The average price of wheat last
week was from 17.06, and that of rye from 10.45 per
hectolitre. The import duty on wheat remains, there-
fore, at from 37.50, and on rye at from 21.50 per 1,000
kilogrammes ; and the export duty on both is 25 cen-
times per 1,000 kilogrammes.
In the sitting of the Chambers to-day M. Savant Mar-
tel brought up the report on the Budget of the Depart-
ment of Justice.

The Minister of Justice presented a project of law for
the introduction of the cellular system (solitary confine-
ment) into the principal prisons of Belgium.
The Chamber agreed unanimously to-Ist. The pro-
ject of.law, granting to the Budget of the public debt a
credit of 3,600,865 E, annulling a sum of 1,497,254 f. re-
maining disposable upon credits allowed to the same
budget ; and 2d. To the project of law, permitting the
exchange of London of bonds of the New Fonr-and- a-
Half per Cent. Loan for those of the old Five per Cent. ;
and 3d. That for the entrepot at Antwerp.
The Chamber then entered on the discussion of the
budget of the Minister of Finance.
This discussion turned chiefly on the necessity of a
new organisation of the several branches of the Ad-
ministration, and the Minister of Finance promised to
concert with his colleagues on the subject. The Chamber
then voted the first article of the budget.
Most of the trains, and particularly those on the
Southern Railway, have been considerably delayed by
the snow which covered the rails.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN BIRMINGHAM. -- O❑
Tuesday evening last, at the Grand Junction station-
yard, in Birmingham, a young man, named William
Graystone, many years employed as a cleaner on the
Birmingham line, was assisting in removing an engine,
called the Odin, from one line to another, and while
doing so he had occasion to move in front of the
engine. As he was walking on, however, ad-
vancing towards an ash pit, a policeman and others
who saw him, and anticipated danger from his posi-
tion, cried out to him to take care. He replied that
all would be right, and he immediately started off
before the engine, which was then moving rapidly, and
he jumped into the ash pit, where he stood for a mo-
ment, apparently not knowing what to do, although he
had only to stoop and allow the engine to pass over him.
That, however, he unfortunately did not do, but ran to
the end of the pit, and endeavoured to get up three or
four steps. In this, however, he failed; he slipped on one
side, the engine arrived rapidly upon him, and he was
swept away by the ash-pan, and crushed to death in a
most frightful manner. He was found lying on his face,
quite dead, in a second ash-pit, at a distance of eight
yards, with his body horribly mangled, particularly his
head, in which not a single feature could be recognised.
An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday night,
before J. B. Davies, Esq., and a verdict of accidental
death returned.
TnE LATE BANK RORBERY•—We understand that
in consequence of a letter addressed to the banking-
house of Messrs. Rogers and Co , by their solicitor, Mr.
Ilobler, suggesting a mode of cancelling all the Bank of
England notes which have been recently stolen from that
firm, and thus rendering the property taken valueless to
the robbers and their confederates, some of the partners
of the banking-house have had an interview with the
Secretary of State upon the plan proposed by Mr. Hob-
ler, and the matter is now under consideration with Sir
James Graham. If so, we are quite sure the public, who
have generously sympathised with those gentlemen in
their recent loss, will be glad to know that for once the
most adroit masters in the art of thieving have met with
their match, and there is no doubt the public will con-
tinue to lend their aid to prevent the robbers deriving
any advantage from the possession of the spoil.
THE BLACKBURN AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—On
Tuesday afternoon an accident occurred at King's- bank,
Hoghton-bottoms, on the new line of railway which is
now constructing between Blackburn and Preston, by
which one man was killed, another so seriously injured
that ho is not expected to recover, and a third much
hurt, though not to a dangerous extent. It appears that
the line at King's-bank goes through a pretty deep cut-
ting at the side of a hill, and the deceased and the two
others were engaged in making the cutting, and were at
the time of the accident at work between the hill side
and a waggon.' 'They were just about to leave work for
the day, when a large portion of the upper part of the
hill, it is calculated to the extent of nine or ten
tons, gave way, falling upon and burying the men be-
neath. Assistance was immediately procured, and an ex-
press sent off to Blackburn for medical assistance. Mr.
Pickop, and Mr. J. Pickop, surgeons, immediately pro-
ceeded to the spot, by which time the =fortunate men
had been extricated from their position. It was found
that one of them must have been crushed to death against
Xhe waggon instantaneously. The second, upon exami•
nation, was ascertained to be injured to a very dangerous
extent, and his life, we believe, is despaired of. The
third, we are happy to state, was much less hurt, and it
is hoped will speedily recover from the effects of the
accident. Every possible assistance was rendered by the
Messrs. Pickop to the survivors. As a proof of the
narrow escape the third man must have had, we may
mention that a snuff-box, which was in one of his pockets,
was completely crushed. The deceased was a fine young
man, about eighteen or nineteen years of age. This is
the second accident which has happened at this place.
A short time ago Mr. Pickup was called upon to attend
an excavator, whose leg was broken, and who was very
much hurt, by an occurrence, we believe, of a similar
nature to the above.

FARMING SERVANTS...--A Sussex Correspondent of
the Worcester Journal says am not learned enough
to write for a newspaper, or I would send a letter to ex-
plain the reason why we farmers gave up having lads in
the house. Why, sir, we were summoned for the tax
upon men-servants, and I for one. I appealed
against it. One of the commissioners asked 105,
Did the man ever clean your boots?' * Cer-
tainly he did,' I replied. Then, farmer,' he
said, lam very sorry, but I cannot relieve you; you
must ay 245.' Twenty-four shillings I' says I. ' Yes,'
cries Mr. Taxgather, '3l. 2s. ; you are summoned for
two, Farmer Smith, and you can't deny that t'other has
not cleaned your boots and your knives too.' I could
not say that he did not, and so I had to pay the 31 25.,
and never have I dared to have a man in my house since.
Believe me, Sir, this has done more to injure farming
men than anything else."
FATAL ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.-011
Wednesday afternoon several workmen were employed
in erecting a rack, or frame-work, for supporting bars
of iron, in the boiler-making department, when some of
the rivets which which it was joined together gave way,
and a portion of the frame fell upon four of the men,
named Bates, Marshall, Skinner, and Moody. Three of
the men were so seriously injured, that they were imme-
diately conveyed to the Marine Infirmary, to obtain
medical and surgical aid ; and Bates has since died,
owing to the severe injuries ho sustained.
