MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
We had only a moderate supply of English Wheat on sale,
yet the demand for it was inactive, at Monday's prices. In
line foreign Wheat very little was doing, at about previous
quotations. Barley and Malt were very dull, though uoi
cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas were quite as dear.

BROCKLESBY HUNT—FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE
HurrrsmAN.—lt is with the deepest regret that we have to
announce that, on Friday last, Mr. Sinith, huntsman
to the Earl of Yarborough, had the misfortune to fall
from his horse in a field situate in the parish of Bar-
e very dangerous state at the residence of Richard Nainby,
noldby-le-Beck, near Grimsby. Mr. Smith had to pass a brook
which was of so ordinary a character that he did not consider
it -to require more care than crossing a large ditch.
Riding, however, with rather a slack rein, the
horse leaped farther than, he expected ; and the
consequence was that ho was thrown, fell upon
his head, and injured the spine. Assistance was immedi-
ately afforded, but he expired on Tuesday at the house of
Mr. Nainby, where every kindness and attention were shown
to him. Jr. Smith has, we are informed, hunted the
Brocklesby pack for a quarter of a century.—Abridged from
the Doncaster Gazette.
SELF, BY THE AUTHOR OP " CECIL."—The plan
of this new work, which will add greatly to the reputa-
tion of the anonymous writer, is quite unique. One of
the great families of the English aristocracy is con-
ducted through a period of 20 years, replete with public
and political interest ; and it may not be too much to
say of the execution of this plan, that it may be re-
garded as a valuable addition to the moral archives of the
country ; added to which, the story combines all the
sprightliness, wit, vigour, and originality that constituted
the charm of " Cecil."

SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY—
G T.
On the CHAIRMAN ta(kingroup his) seat to-day, the con-
Neration of this line of railway, was resumed,
'SY the reexamination of Mr. Miller, one of the
witnesses examined yesterday by Mr. Atkinson, an
opponent [of the Bill. The object of this examination was
silow that the proposed crossing of the line at Peter-
borough-bridge. would be attended with much danger, from
its Peculiar construction, and that it would interfere with
0,.e holding of a fair which' was kept at regular periods in an
adjoining meadow.
The tables required by the standing orders were then put
", in which it was estimated that the annual working ex-
l'enses of the line would be 14,0001., leaving, when deducted
,r2lll the gross receipts of the branch line, the surplus of
'4,862/. 18s. 6d. for the shareholders, or a dividend of di per
on the invested capital. This calculation was inde-
tludent of what is expected to arise from traffic derived from
e main line with which it is to be connected at Syston.
„4„,ne various items set forth in the estimates regarding the
5t of constructing the line were proved by evidence, and
tinb3Posed.
Charles Liddel, the engineer of the line, was then ex-
rated to he uitmed respecting
: the engineering difficulties. These were
of a very trifling character; the gradients were
tYlifavourable; there was only one tunnel 776 yards long
Bent e whole extent of forty-eight miles, and the curves pre-
...edr no objectionable feature.
er-al• Stephenson, the engineer, was next examined. He
best Y aurveyed the line, and in his plan I drew out the
yractical line between the two termini. t was not only-
aest line as far as engineering difficulties were con-
but the best as far as the consideration of traffic
frzinivolved, forming as it would, the most direct line
qui Yarmouth to Manchester. He believed the inhabitants
it:ffics3antrY through which the line passed were generally
iavour. He had seen a line proposed by Mr. Giles, and
diregh, t it very objectionable, on account of its engineering
eli4ties• He theught the end of Stamford-bridge themost
e site for the station, more especially if the bridge was
ofd tr. The trains in passing over the road at the end
not fl..e bridge into, and from, the station would
of a—:,"IPY above half-an-hour altogether in the course
arriviaY, and then the trains being either starting or
de,peug, would necessarily be slow and not likely to be
eut'd ri°4B. There was a portion of a line which he had exe-
of Liverool that crossed a street, and he never heard
accident
k , Stephenson was cross-examined at some length by
at staZRKE in reference to Mr. Giles's line, and the station
reiter:,:ord-bridge but nothing was elicited further than a
di.-"°'l of what 'he had previously stated on those poipts.
the wi;WHATELEY, on behalf of Lord Harborough, examir.ied
grenesa in regard to the line going through his Lords.hip's
kennels- Mr. Stephenson generally replied that any diver-
, the line would occasion heavy cuttings and tunnels,
acid prodigiously to the expense.
