COMMERCIAL

WEDNESDAY, P.M.—The news from Europe by the Great Britain
continues to he highly important. Great importance is attached to
the partial failure of the potato crop.
Letters have been received from the continent, ordering potatoes
to tee shipped from hire. Besides grain and flour, cheese has con-
tinued to go forward to England ever since the tall season cern-
n/ need in greater quantities than usual, and at higher prices.
As soon as the news by the steamer transpired, there was a good
deal of excitement in the market. The flour and grain dealers
were very active. Flour advanced half a dollar per barrel, and
~early 5,000 barrels were taken, mostly for export. Wheat went
up five cents, and corn was held at an advance. Ashes are a little
quicker. Ihe cotton market is depressed.
Exchange on England is at least per cent. lower. Sterling is
sold freely at 1091 to 1091.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

- -
A very alarming collision, unattended with fatal conse-
quences, happened 'on the Eastern Counties line of railway at
the Waltham. cross station, yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock.
It appears that a truck of the goods train, due about 2
A.m.,liad become disabled ; this caused a stoppage on the line,
and bef“re it was finally cleared the fish train from Yar-
mouth, to which a second class carriage and truck with sheep,
malt, &c., were attached, arrived, and were detained close to
the station. The mail train, due at 5 o'clock, being now ex-
pected, a porter with a red light was sent down the line for
near 400 yards, but from some unexplained cause the engine
was not stopped sufficiently in time to prevent its running
.sitli terrific force into the first train. The effects were the
destruction of trucks containing sheep, and the overturning
of the second-class carriage. There were oily two passengers
in this carriage, Captain Lawrence, R.N., a director of the
Norfolk Railway, and a drover in charge of the sheep.
The carriage was lifted several yards into the air, and fell
into a ditch some distance from the line.
The gallant Captain had his right shoulder put out, and
is much bruised. The drover is severely cut about the bead, &c.
The engine of the mail train was completely overturned ;
the driver and stoker miraculously escaped without a bruise,
.md neither passengers nor carriages were in the least injured.
Shortly after the accident Mr. Kennard, one of the Direc-
tors, was at the station, and sent off to London for Dr. Jeaf-
, freson, of Bartholomew's Hospital; and, in his absence. Dr.
Bennett, cf. Finsbury-place, came down by a special train to
attend upon the sufferers, who had been removed to the New
Inn, Waltham-cress.
Dr. Bennett pronounced them free from all danger and
going on most favourably.
The line was opened and cleared for the train within a few
hours of the accident.

THE RECENT ELOPEMENT IN

HIGH LIFE.

We have it in our power to announce that all the mystery ap-
pertaining to the disappeaarance of Lady Adela Villiers, the
)oungest daughter of the E irl and Countess of Jersey, is now
cleared tip, the information regarding the fair fugitive having been
brought to town by the lion. Capt. Frederick Villiers, from the
iiiarth, on Saturday afternoon.
The plans of the " runaways" were so well arranged that, thanks
to the railway, to overtake them was an impossibility. It seems
that, unknown to the Earl of Jersey's family, a clandestine com-
munication has been maintained for some months past by the
youthful lady and her gallant admirer, but so secretly that not the
slightest suspicion was excited even among the closest attendants
of her Ladyship. A strict investigation was, on the return of the
Countess of Jersey from Arundel Castle, instituted, the head of the
pollee at Brighton being present; and although not the least clue
•vas to be obtained from the governess of the young lady, the lady's
maid, who invariably accompanied her ladyship in her promenades,
said that a tall fair gentleman, of military bearing, had occasionally,
to all appearances accidentally, met Lady Adela, when, as they
conversed in French, she could not comprehend the substance of
their discourse.
It has subsequently transpired that shortly after five o'clock on
Wednesday evening, as Lady Adele left the lodge gates, a public
fly was in readiness, by which her Ladyship, in company with a
gentleman, was conveyed to the railway terminus, and proceeded
to town by the half.past five o'clock train for London. On their
arrival in the metropolis they must have gone direct to the Bir•
mingham Railway at Euston-square, and left by the mail train for
Newcastle, en route to Carlisle, on their way to Gretna-green ;
so that when it was discovered at East Lodge, Brighton, that Lady
Adela had so unaccountably disappeared, the lovers were on the
road to Scotland. It was also ascertained that her Ladyship re.
mained in the fly at the station till the bell rang for the train to
start. The Hon. Captain Frederick Villiers having heard on
Thursday morning of the absence of his sister,-immediately started
by express to Gretna, it having been only surmised that Lady Adele
had eloped. On his arrival at Carlisle be there gained the infor.
:nation that a young lady, answering exactly in description to her
Ladyship, and a gentleman, had passed through that place. On
his arrival at Gretna-green, or more properly Graitney, the ren-
dezvous of fugitive lovers, the Honourable Captain was informed
that on Thursday afternoon, at four o'clock, a marriage was so •
lemnised and lawfully concluded between Captain Charles Parke
Ibbetson and Lady Adela Coriander Marie Villiers. Thus within
twenty-three hours after their departure from Brighton the nuptial
ceremony was performed.
It was understood that after the performance of the ceremony
the Captain and her Ladysip repaired direct to Edinburgh.
Captain Charles Parke Ibbetson entered the 4th (Royal Irish)
Regiment of Dragoon Guards as cornet, 24th April, 1835, and in
June, 1837, purchased a lieutenantcy in that regiment. He sub-
sequently changed into the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own),
in which regiment be .holds the commission of a captain of
the date of June, 1843. We understand that the gallant
ofticer is son of Mr. Henry Ibbetson, of the firm of Ibbetson and
Son, proctors and notaries of Great Knight 'Rider-street, and of
Chester-terrace, Regent's Park. '
We learn that a letter was received by the Earl of Jersey on
Saturday morning, announcing the marriage, but it was not until
the evening that the Earl and Countess were possessed of all the
details of the elopement.
The lion. Captain Frederick Villiers arrived at an early hour
111 the afternoon on Saturday from Carlisle, and was bearer of all
the information that could be obtained at Gretna.
Prince Nicholas Esterhazy and Viscount Villiers, shortly after
the Hon. Captain's arrival, proceeded by the express train to
Brighton, to acquaint the Earl and Countess of Jersey with all the
circumstances relative to the marriage.
'l' Ile Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers
are expected to arrive in town to-day, from Brighton.
It is rumoured that her Ladyship and the Captain first met at
Alinack's during the last season.

A 111 AN SUFFOCATED IN A BREWER'S VAT.—On
Tuesday a young man named Samuel Brunt, in the service of Mr.
Joseph Bleackley, brewer, Downing.strect, Ardwick, met with his
death while assisting to cleanse a porter vat on his master's pre_
miser. A portion of the water in the vat had been allowed to run
of, and the deceased descended into it by means of a ladder, for the
purpose of stirring up the dregs at the bottom, so that they might
re carried away with the remainder of the water. Immediately
after this one of the other men employed in the premises heard a
splash ; and on looking into the vat, saw that the deceased had
fallen into the liquid. Attempts were instantly made to get hint
out, but it was found impossible to descend into the vat, in con.
sequence of the impure vapour (carbonic acid gas), and twenty
minutes elapsed before he was brought to the top, a hook having
been used for that purpose. Life was quite extinct. The vat had
been kept closed for some time previously, after having had boiling
water, and what the brewers call " bottoms," put into it for the
purpose of cleansing it. At the inquest, held before Mr. Chapman,
on Wednesday, the jury returned a verdict to the effect " That
the deceased was suffocated from the noxious vapour which arose
from the vat." He was nineteen years of age, and lived in Cla.
rendon.strcet, Hulure.—Manchester Guaidain.
