BRUSSELS, OCT. 6.—The account of the produce of
the octroi (city toll) of the city of Brussels for the first
three quarters of the year has been published. Com-
pared with the receipts in the first three quarters of 1843,
there is an increase of a little more than 5,000 f. There
was a decrease of 9,000 f. in the first quarter, but an in-
crease of 2,500 f. in the second, and of 11,500 f. in the
third quarter.
In about a fortnight a new session of the Chambers
will be opened. Will the Government publish in the
interval the decree which is to change the tariff in re-
spect to cotton manufactures? If it does all the projects
of improvement and encouragement will be deferred for
a year. We cannot doubt that it will do so to realise
promises on the exemption of which our manufactures
reckon.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 18.—The news of the vic-
tory of Marshal Bugeaud on the frontiers of Morocco,
like that of the bombardment of Tangiers, has caused
great sensation among the Turks. They seem to have
an uneasy, presentiment of the loss of Africa, which will
soon be entirely withdrawn from the influence of the
crescent, and the Mussulmen anxiously turn their eyes
to Egypt as the only and last bulwark against the en-
croachments of European power ; for with respect to
Tunis the clear-sighted already consider it as lost.
This may prove an obstacle to the negotiations of the
English for an improvement of the communication with
India across the lithmus of Suez. The distrust of the
Europeans daily increases, and we can hardly blame the
Turks for being disinclined to make concessions where
they apprehend danger.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT,
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Every Tuesday morning, at five o'clock, a special train
leaves the Brandling Junction station, South Shields, for
the convenience of the butchers attending Newcastle
cattle-market. This morning the train left as usual, but
had not proceeded far -when an engine was seen coming
the contrary way at a great speed ; the engineman on
the latter immediately reversed his power, aril proceed
back, but as the other engine was proceeding at such a
dreadful rate, the engineman seeing the danger leaped
from the passenger-train, and melancholy to state she
ran off without any one to manage the engine, and had
it not been for some carriages on the way, and impedi-
ments at the station at Shields, she must have gone over
the wall at the terminus nearly twenty feet high.
Scarcely a passenger has 'escaped : one poor man, Mr.
Brown, is dead, and several others have legs broken and
other serious bruises. No doubt every inquiry will be
made into the accident, as nothing can palliate for the
conduct of the engineman leaping from the engine, and
leaving the lives of so many of his fellow-creatures to
destruction. Amongst the sufferers are Mr. William
Weatherell, Mr. Young, Mr. Gamble, Mr. T. Gallon,
Mr. Douthwaite (nephew of George DouthwaitO, Mr.
Burrell (seriously injured), and many others taken to
their respective homes.

DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL.
Stn,—lll health has for some months prevented my
attending to public business. I cannot, however, allow
the time for receiving subscriptions to the Duneonite
Testimonial to pass over without enrolling my name sir
a humble contributor—illness alone kept me from taking
an active part, in Ireland, for the promotion of your laud-
able object.
If integrity, activity, acuteness, spirit, and talent—if
above all, a community of teeling with the people, entitle
a Member of the House of Commons to the confidence
and regard of his fellow-countrymen—there are no claims
on public favour paramount to those of Mr. Thomas S.
Du ncornbe.
His sympathy, too, with the ill-treated people of Ire-
land, and his zeal on behalf of the patriots of that king-
dom, so unconstitutionally deprived of their liberty, have,
to my own knowledge, insured to him the gratitude of
the Irish nation ; and were England to cease to appre-
ciate Mr. Duncombe's worth as a representative, he has
only to cross the Channel to find many constituencies in
Ireland ready to prove that they value alike, and draw
no distinction between the Protestant Briton and the
Irish Catholic, when they are equally zealous and fearless
in their advocacy of popular rights.—l have the honour
to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
Clifton, Sept., 1844. JOHN A. O'NEILL.
